We've read your comments, Tweets, and Facebook posts about our lists of Best Science Apps, and one message above all has rung out: You want Droid apps. Well, GEN heard you loud and clear. Going forward, where there is a Droid version of one of our Best Science Apps, we will let you know in one of our reviews. To kick things off, here are a list of several recommended apps that have Droid versions; the reviews are based on the Apple version. Enjoy!
Key:Four stars: ExcellentThree stars: Very GoodTwo stars: Good+ Strong points– Weak points
Cost: Free+ Nice amount of background and practical information– Some resources limited to Life Technologies products
RT-PCR is a technique as useful as it is ambiguously named. In this case, I'm referring to real-time PCR, also known as quantitative PCR (qPCR), but not to be confused with reverse transcriptase PCR (also abbreviated as RT-PCR)…OK, got that? If you're still confused, the real-time PCR app by Life Technologies will clear things up for you. This app is a great reference for all real-time PCR users, whether you are new to the technique or an old pro. A primary feature of the app is the real-time PCR handbook, which provides detailed background information about the technique, as well as practical information for experimental design, data analysis, and troubleshooting. The app also includes a reaction calculator tool as well as a video library and a set of reference documents (although these two latter resources are most useful if you use Life Technologies products).
Cost: Free+ Covers a number of topics, many study questions– Difficult navigation
The Gene Tutor app, designed as a study aid for a genetics course at Barnard College, is a great reference app for any student of molecular genetics. The app covers a number of topics such as Mendelian genetics (including subtopics such as probability theory, pedigree analysis, and chromosomes and linkage), DNA structure and replication, gene regulation, and DNA repair/recombination. A set of study questions accompanies each topic, with each question marked as being easy, intermediate, or hard. App users can flag specific questions, and they can track their progress through the "statistics" tab. Navigation through the app is cumbersome and not very intuitive—for instance, the only way to exit a study question session (without going through all of the questions) is to rotate the iPad into landscape orientation to display the menu. (One cannot access the menu sidebar in portrait orientation.) Navigational issues aside, the app contains a lot of useful information.
Cost: Free+ Great photos, easy navigation– Can't pause/stop birdcall sound clips
Myriad nature documentaries and wildlife shows have taught us that Australia is home to some of the most beautiful and exotic animals on the planet. If you've been wanting to get a closer look at some of the beautiful fauna that this country has to offer, but you don't have the airfare (or vacation time) saved up, then the Field Guide to Victorian Fauna app can be a practical alternative. The app features animals specifically found in the Australian state of Victoria. It includes all types of animals, from birds, to insects, to spiders, to marine invertebrates. Each entry includes a high-resolution photo of the species, a brief description of identifying characteristics, habitat, and diet, and a distribution map. The endangered status for each species is also given (at state, country and worldwide levels). For the bird entries, there is the added auditory treat of birdcall sound clips.
Cost: Free+ Beautifully designed, many features
Medicine, welcome to the age of social media. The HealthTap app is a beautiful (and free!) app that offers users many of the features one might already know from social media (newsfeeds, the ability to "follow" specific users, etc.), but in the context of healthcare. The basic premise of the app is that users submit medical questions and physicians answer them. As a user, therefore, I can either submit my own questions, or search and browse the questions submitted by others. I can also customize my newsfeed to display questions/answers related to specific healthcare topics of interest, such as "the common cold" or "diabetes". To use the app, users must register for an account; after completing the registration, users can customize their profile pages in order to get more personalized announcements and suggestions. Additionally, users can choose to "follow" specific physicians—in this way, the app is also designed as a tool for patients to find new physicians (and likewise, for physicians to bring in new patients).
Cost: Free+ Nicely designed– Nothing major
Whether you have an intellectual interest in fungi or are looking to bring out your inner mushroom hunter, the Rogers Mushrooms: Fungi of Europe and North America app is a great resource to learn how to identify a large number of fungal species. In the Lite (i.e. free) version of the app there are fewer species included, but there is still a nice collection of entries. Each species entry is accompanied by one or multiple photos, as well as a description. The edibility of each species is also noted, for those who are culinary-inclined (just be sure to read the important, flashing disclaimer on the homepage of the app). Beyond browsing the entries in a list format, app users can view three different visual summaries of different mushroom types, and they can also search the collection by a number of parameters such as flesh type, spore color, habitat, and location.
Cost: $5.59+ Beautifully designed, innovative organization of content– A bit expensive, given the limited content
The Focus on Plant app is an excellent (albeit a bit expensive) educational app that introduces students to the basics of plant biology. The app is comprised of five major sections, each of which is given its own home screen within the app: plant structure, plant cell anatomy, plant physiology, life cycle of plants, and plant evolution. Each home screen is cleverly designed such that students get the opportunity to really explore that section—within a given topic's home screen app users can tap on various text labels to reveal more information, and they can also select sidebar menus that open to expose more illustrations and text. The illustrations used throughout the app are beautiful, and the app is overall very well organized. The glossary of terms and quiz feature are also nice additions.

Break out the Champagne!
Nearly one year after Sean Lowe got down on one knee to propose to Catherine Giudici, the couple have finally picked a day for their much-anticipated union, PEOPLE confirms.
The Bachelor alums will say their vows on Jan. 26, 2014 – and the ceremony will air live on ABC.
"It's really exciting," Lowe, 29, tells PEOPLE. "Time has just flown by – I think January is going to sneak up on us pretty quickly!"
He adds, "I think it's only natural to have it on TV seeing as how our relationship started. This will be a cool opportunity to share the most special day of our lives with all the people who have been invested in us along the way."
Plans for the big day are already in high gear; decisions on vows (personalized), honeymoon (someplace tropical) and bridesmaids (there are 12!) have been made, but the couple say they still have a lot to do.
"I haven't found my dress yet," Giudici, 27, tells PEOPLE. "I know I want it to be form-fitting ... Not too princessy."
As far as the reception goes, the couple "want it to be a big party," says Lowe. "It's about family and friends celebrating our marriage. And that's really my only input. I'm letting Catherine make most of the decisions."
One thing their nuptials won't include? A certain scarlet-colored bloom. "No red roses," Giudici says humorously. "We've turned a corner!"
For now, the soon-to-be husband and wife are living (separately) in Dallas, where they're still cherishing getting to know each other away from the cameras.
"We're stronger than we've ever been," says Lowe. "And not to sound too clichéd, but I fall more in love with her every day. Watching Catherine walk down the aisle will be the best moment of my life."

100Send Me A Postcard
Dutch psych rockers Shocking Blue would score a US Billboard Hot 100 No.1 with 1970's 'Venus' (covered so memorably by Bananarama 16 years later), but 'Send Me A Postcard' is a darker proposition altogether, singer Mariska Veres evoking Julie Driscoll or Jefferson Airplane's Grace Slick as she hollers over fuzzed guitar and the obligatory swirling organ.
99Ring Of Fire
This paean to the grisly aftermath of an unforgiving curry – or tribute to love's steamy embrace, whatever you fancy – was written by Johnny Cash's future wife June Carter with Merle Kilgore, and originally recorded by June's sister Anita. Cash boosted it with the mariachi horns that give it its overriding, buoyant character.
98I Had Too Much To Dream (Last Night)
The opening track on Lenny Kaye's 'Nuggets', his essential compilation of late-60s garage and psych rock, 'I Had Too Much To Dream (Last Night)' was written by professional songwriting team Annette Tucker and Nancie Mantz but musses up its classic structure with needling, distorted guitar from Ken Williams – recorded backwards – and a growling lead vocal from James Lowe.
97My Girl
They might have done the gritty thing with 'Ball Of Confusion' and 'Papa Was A Rollin' Stone' or tried overwrought testifying on 'Ain't Too Proud To Beg', but the Temptations song that gets reeled out most these days is this soppy, doo-wopping poem to a girl who makes everything all right. Written and produced by Smokey Robinson with Ronald White, it features David Ruffin's first – silky smooth – lead vocal.
96Twist And Shout
Written by Phil Medley and Bert Berns – later to produce Van Morrison's early solo recordings – 'Twist And Shout' would of course become best known for The Beatles' moptop-shaking version. Here The Isley Brothers continue their own shouting theme (after 1959's 'Shout'), taking The Top Notes' 'Shake It Up, Baby' and giving it some welly, eventually climbing into the US Top 20.
95Stop In The Name Of Love
From the immortal songwriting/production team of Holland Dozier Holland, 'Stop In The Name Of Love' got its title from a rather melodramatic plea to a girlfriend by Lamont Dozier. Whether she stuck around is hazy, but – after Berry Gordy requested the tempo be raised – The Supremes bagged a fourth US No.1 with the song as Diana Ross gave it her beseeching all.
94To Love Somebody
'To Love Somebody' was originally intended for Otis Redding , but he died before he could tackle Barry and Robin Gibb's latest masterpiece so the Bee Gees recorded it themselves. Although its chart performance was modest, the song has deservedly been covered on countless occasions by everyone from Jimmy Somerville to Leonard Cohen. That's some vocal range.
93White Room
Like many Cream songs, 'White Room' was written by bassist and vocalist Jack Bruce with the English poet Pete Brown. It was the lead single from the blues-rock supergroup's third album Wheels Of Fire and sees them veering towards more expansive psychedelia, with Eric Clapton's wah-wah guitar chattering away in the verses. It's since been covered by The Vines and speed-metallers Helloween.
A chart-topper on both sides of the Atlantic, the signature tune of Michigan-born rock'n'roller Del Shannon is instantly memorable for its "wah-wah-wah" vocal hook and the pizzicato rises and falls played by Shannon's sidekick Max Crook on his Musitron or clavioline, a primitive synthesiser that also makes a distinctive appearance on The Tornados 1962 Joe Meek-produced No.1 'Telstar'.
91The Witch
The debut single from Tacoma, Washington's The Sonics is creepy as its title suggests, romping along on a honking riff intercut with frenzied surf guitar freakouts. Home state radio backing made 'The Witch' a major local success and allowed the band to chuck out a few more grimy garage rock sides before a split in 1968 and a place in grunge folklore.

Quick, if you saw a Rolls Royce on the side of the road and a guy in a suit standing next to it staring at his flat tire, what pops into your head?
If you find yourself laughing at a rich guy having to suffer, you may be suffering from what prosperity expert Randy Gage refers to as a subconscious meme, an unconscious belief that is likely sabotaging your success.
In his book, "Why You're Dumb, Sick and Broke and How to Get Smart, Healthy and Rich," Gage asserts that many of us have prejudices about wealth and false beliefs about success that are holding us back.
Do any of these statements sound familiar?
• Money is bad.
• Rich people are evil.
• It is spiritual or noble to be poor.
• Underdogs and the little guys are good, big entities are bad.
• You have to sell your soul to get rich.
• Rich people have lots of money, but they also have many additional problems. Being rich isn't worth it.
• Money causes good people to go bad.
Gage's in-your-face style challenges the unconscious programming that many of us have absorbed without even realizing it.
Gage writes, "Suppose you're 8 years old and your family drives by a mansion. You're impressed and say something about it. Your mother tells you that people who live in big houses like that aren't happy. The odds are quite good that you will be infected with the 'Money doesn't buy happiness,' mind virus without even knowing it. It stays on your hard drive the rest of your life, but you don't even know when the program was installed."
Pop culture also plays a role. Gage says "Titanic," "The Beverly Hillbillies" and even "Gilligan's Island" all fed into the "rich people are bad" mind virus.
I didn't think I had a bias against the rich. I always assumed I aspired to be one of them.
But Gage's book reawakened memories. Like my mom insinuating that when our dentist neighbor paid off his student loans and moved his family to the "fancy" side of town, they were no longer "like us." They cared about materialistic things like house, cars and furniture, whereas we, the humble, noble middle class, still had our solid values.
Gage says that even you may be working hard to achieve success, but if your subconscious is programmed with limiting beliefs – like it's noble to be poor – you'll sabotage yourself.
If you believe rich people are evil, how likely is it that you will become one?
Digging through my own subconscious, I find that I do have a positive mental image of a noble benevolent businessman who contributes to the community, but I don't have any similar imagery for a successful woman. Wealthy women are usually personified as social climbing shrews, gold diggers, or ruthless businesswomen, ala Cruella de Ville or "The Devil Wears Prada."
Maybe that's why whenever I meet a teacher or social worker I'm always a little bit embarrassed to say I'm a businesswoman.
If you think you might be suffering from a similar self-sabotaging mind virus, here's how Gage recommends you get over it: Find your limiting beliefs, blow them up, then replace them.
So I'm replacing Cruella de Ville, with a kind, uber successful millionaire who is a loving mother that funds her grandkids college and takes the whole family on cultural vacations.
And if I see a broken-down Rolls Royce, I'm extending the same kindness I would to a mom in her minivan.

A soccer player who collapsed during a match in Croatia was yellow-carded by a referee for diving, despite the fact he was dead.
32-year-old defender Goran Tunjic, who reportedly had no health problems, collapsed after a fatal heart attack in the 35th minute of a fifth division match between Mladost FC and Hrvatski Sokol, the Croatian Times reports.
The referee yellow carded Tunjic for taking a dive but then realised he wasn't faking and called the medical unit to the field.
The player was taken to a hospital but could not be revived.
"Doctors have tried to help him, but there was nothing they could do", a club representative told daily newspaper Vecernji List.

About Me Casual/ Recreational
I haven't had it long but it seems to grip pretty well
(1 of 1 customers found this review helpful)
Loud but lots of grip
By Archer
from Oklahoma
I purchased two of the rear velociraptors to replace some other rear-dedicated tires on my two trail bikes (a single speed and a 9 speed). I've put about 20 miles on both bikes since I installed the tires. They are a little loud on hard pack, but they grip in loose conditions like sand even while on steep climbs. No more spinning out on the ss! They started out a little squirrely cornering on hard pack, but I played with the air pressure a bit and seem to have found a nice balance. The casings are nice and supple and they were easy to mount on my Rhyno Lite rims which have been a bear to mount any tires on so far. For casual riding or messy trails I give them 5 stars, but I'd never race xc with them, too much rolling resistance.
Mojave Desert
By High Desert Rider
from Antelope Valley, CA
I've been using these tires for over 10 years. I ride in the Mojave Desert and the terrain has a way of wearing them down pretty quickly. I could get 2 maybe 3 years out of them, but I prefer to change them out once a year to maintain the high performance. Great bargain on a set of great tires when you can get them for what is essentially a 2 for 1 price when on sale.
No nonsense tire
By T-Bone
from Katy, TX
Needed a more beefy tire for riding treacherous, clay and muddy technical trails. This tire grips like glue on roots and clay berms when filled to 45psi. A little on the heavy side, but is very stable at higher speeds through gravel and loose-pack. Haven't had a flat yet!

so tough to put tire on rim
By b
from los angeles, ca
so tough to put this tire on the rim.rear tire went on easily.no stars is not an option for this review process
Massive Grip but @ a Weight Cost
By XCFOOL
from DORBA lands
Even after seeing the weight specs they are much heavier than I anticipated no doubt due in part to the large knobs. If you need a ton of grip in wet and loose conditions these are great. But if you normally seek out climbs these will wear you out.
Great tire
By Raleigh Guy
from Mpls, MN
Great price on a great looking tire. The bike rides great through dirt sand gravel and really digs. I like it a lot.
Still my favorite XC trail tire
By Mikes
from New England
Large knobs provide traction, not the best roller on hardpack. The front specific works great.. Nashbar price is good,better when on sale
Great tires and a great price
By Shagaru TREK
from Manchester, NH
These were a great replacement for my Bontragers which lasted 17 years - hopefully these will too. The traction is very responsive - took some getting used to as my other tires had some slip and move. These hold their shape better and are a little bigger in all dimensions - definitely helped rolling over obstacles. My girlfriend has the new 27.5" bike and it's great for that.

Oops, something didn't work.
Awesome! Thanks guys. Great, great stuff... please more!
A few things I would like to see in C#:
Long term for .NET:
some questions:
- what about static methods for interfaces or static abstract / virtual methods in classes?
- what about readonly/const local variables / parameters
this might concern the CLR but anyway:
- what about a IArithmetic interface
or even
- what about type classes (for F# )
- what about new <- declarations in interfaces WITH parameters
All these are lacking and all these hurts noadays where you try to decouple as far as possible
i've got a question,
if IEnumerable<T> is changed to IEnumberable<out T>, how can things like List<T> implement it?
List<T> does add Ts and doesnt that break the co-variance? can the interface be co-variant and the implementing class not be?
(class List<T> : IEnumerable<out T>)
im sure anders thought of this ages ago but still, it'd be interesting to hear how that fits together
btw where can we get those cup<T> (cup of T for any non geeks out there) cups
public extends DateTime
// Extension property
public DateTime Tomorrow
get { return this.AddDays(1); }
// Extension method
public DateTime SetTime(int hour, int min, int sec)
return new DateTime(this.Year, this.Month, this.Day, hour, min, sec);
// Static extension method
public static int DaysBetween(DateTime startDate, DateTime endDate)
return endDate.Subtract(startDate).Days;
I'm going to be a heretic and flatly state that Anders is wrong about one thing, and I drank the kool-aid starting back with Turbo Pascal.
We're going to see a /parallelize switch on the compiler. It may be C# 7+, but we're going to see it. I remember the arguments against garbage collection, against dynamic typing, etc.
We will probably see 8+ cores on the user's desktop and 16+ cores on the developer's machine, and probably 16Gig, and that's enough to crunch one heck of a lot of graphs for a compiler. Most programs aren't the worst-case type of scenarios that people talk about, people still think linearly, so while I wouldn't expect the parallelize switch to work on Word or Excel, or any paint programs, I would expect it to be able to make enough use of parrallelism to make it twice as fast on a standard application as a single threaded program, even if it uses all 8+ cores to become twice as fast. It's going to be innefficient as anything, but it's still a 'free' 2x improvement in speed.
Will the /parallelize switch become anything more that a gimmic to make old programs and casual games run faster? That I don't know. That's where my crystal ball fails me. Seeing what they're doing with the task parallel library, I wouldn't be too surprised if between that and the software transactional memory that doing something like running multiple copies in parrallel and simply throwing away the unused portions (somthing like what the CPU does) may not make it possible to do a lot more with the compiler and library to parrallelize than Anders thinks is possible. We also may see more fine-grained parallelism and SIMD type stuff built into the VMs/CPUs. On the other hand, I've got a classical CS background, understand compiler design, and remember the 1K machines, not those behemoth 64K machines that Anders was talking about. I know how difficult the problem is, but it only has to be solved once.
My random 2c,
Before letting it load the OS for first time, set the clock to 2008 november (maybe october will work too not sure).
Also use http://blogs.msdn.com/virtual_pc_guy/archive/2007/11/28/disabling-time-synchronization-under-virtual-pc-2007.aspx

.NET 4 will have new APIs for lazily and efficiently enumerate files/directories. The new APIs return IEnumerable<T> and are meant to replace the existing APIs that return arrays. Some more info is available in the following blog post:
I'll be blogging more about these APIs in the next couple of months, so stay tuned to the BCL team blog if you're interested in learning more.

(Really a wish for LINQ) Enumerable.Empty, i.e., return an empty sequence. Silly to ask for something so trivial but it's missing! And of course it needs a nice literal...
Very nice. Thank you.
Static extension methods: A non-feature.
public enum Date { Yesterday, ... } public static DateTime Yesterday(this Date date) { var t = DateTime.Today; if (date == Date.Yesterday) t = t.AddDays(-1); ... return t; }
Besides, having yesterday be relative to a given date is more generic.

How about a post-release review for .NET 4.0? A lot of stuff has gone on through the year (notably Rx) which are terrific topics for future discussion. I think we're all interested on where C# , the BCL and .NET Framework as a whole are heading.
It's a pleasure to see the rockstars of .NET on this masterful concert. Thanks guys.
Also, in reply to Anders, I have a suggestion for the extension property notation:
public static class ExtensionProperties
// The extended type appears after the colon, following the property declaration.
// The "this" keyword refers to the extended (/indexed) object.
// Property.
public static string Password : ICredential
get { return this.Password; }
set { /*Business logic*/ this.Password = value; }
// Indexer.
public static T this[int index] : IList<T>
get { return this.ElementAt(index); }
As for extension fields (which is what'd make extension properties something of its own), some engineering on the compiler would be necessary. Simply put: we'll need to have fields on the extension class, which will be static. By natural means, said field would be shared by all objects calling the extension property. Thus, some mechanism would be required to "bind" extension fields to the instances being extended.
NOTE: The "property-hiding" scenario described was intentional. This should either hide the member or raise a compile-time error.
New property system and property extensions in C# 5.0
// A product type in this sample has a property Name of type String var product = new Product(); // This will print "Product.Name.IsDirty: False" Console.WriteLine("Product.Name.IsDirty: {0}", product.Name.IsDirty); // Now let's try to update product's Name property product.Name = "T-Short"; // And now this will print "Product.Name.IsDirty: True" Console.WriteLine("Product.Name.IsDirty: {0}", product.Name.IsDirty); // Then when you try to save this product in database, your Store Repository // will know for sure which fields must be saved and which can be skipped storeRepository.Add(product); storeRepository.SubmitChanges();

LOCKPORT – Gregory A. Stephens "has single-handedly made the judicial diversion program look pretty bad," Niagara County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas said Wednesday as she gave Stephens the longest prison sentence she could for third-degree burglary and third-degree auto stripping.
Stephens, 49, of Fourth Street, Niagara Falls, pleaded guilty in September to thefts from nine parked cars, which occurred while he was in the court-supervised drug treatment program to which Farkas had assigned him.
Wednesday, Farkas gave him 3½ to seven years for his original guilty pleas for burglarizing a Dollar General store in the Falls and breaking into a car, both in 2010.
"The crimes he committed are an embarrassment to this court," Farkas said.

As the Maryvale School District heads into planning a budget proposal for 2013-14, School Board members Monday told administrators they were comfortable with a spending plan that would raise taxes 3.54 percent.
Assistant Superintendent for Administrative Services Stephen Lunden presented board members four preliminary budget estimates that offered a spending-increase range from 1.46 percent to 0.9 percent. The potential tax rate increase ranged from 2.45 to 3.54 percent.
Administrators presented the board the figures to gauge its level of comfort for the tax rate. The 3.54 percent tax increase would keep the $36.4 million budget proposal as is, but the 2.45 percent figure would mean a spending cut of about $201,000.
"We've cut significantly over the past three years," said Superintendent Deborah Ziolkowski. "We don't have a lot left to cut."
Board members expressed support for the 3.54 percent tax increase. Several agreed with the superintendent that the proposal would maintain the district's current programs.
"We can't keep gutting reserves," said Margaret Bourdette, board president. "I like [this option]. It keeps our programs intact and our staff intact."
However, some board members expressed concern about public perception of the tax hike, given the state's recently enacted tax-cap mandate. The cap is devised under a complex formula that differs by district. School districts that propose a budget with a tax increase under the cap need only a simple majority vote by district residents for approval.
"My fear would be that 3.54 percent tax increase would be taken the wrong way," said board member Patrick Weisansal. "But at some point, we need to do what's best for us."
Should the budget be defeated by voters twice, Maryvale would be forced to convert to a contingency budget that would keep the tax rate the same as this year but would require the district to cut about $745,000.
"That, as you can imagine, would be very severe for our budget," Lunden said.

Shea's are generally great people. They are high energy when around their peers, but can loose energy rapidly when isolated. When talking to a Shea you are usually going to be the listener. In phone conversations they can be overbearing, and dominate the conversation. Leaving you to say nothing but the ocational "yeah". When listening, Shea's will listen briefly and comment then continue with some other issue of theirs before you're finished. They are quite loveable, besides their uncanny ability to control a conversation. Shea's are great performers, although they wont believe you when told. They always have a glowing appearance and good makeup. If you are fortunate enough to know a Shea, you will have to answer phone calls at 3 in the morning, but will have a friend for life.

Blond Shea's happen to be pretty kick ass.They normally have really nice figures and beautiful eyes. She will be very good looking. She will be really outgoing. Most Shea's care a lot about animals and the environment! Some of them care about the way they look. If you get the chance to know a Shea honor that moment. Love her, Cherish her! She will be one of a kind! Shea's happen to be the sweetest of all people. She will live her life to the absolute fullest, but still worries way too much. Shea's LOVE to talk.

LOCKPORT – Barbara Hale Gonzalez, the Hartland woman who was charged with animal cruelty but was later given an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal, is entitled to the return of the animals police seized from her in 2009, a judge ruled last week.
Two dogs and a horse confiscated when State Police obtained a search warrant on the complaint of Gonzalez' veterinarian must be returned, Lockport City Judge William J. Watson ruled. A third dog died of cancer after being seized.
"She will be ecstatic," said Gonzalez' attorney, George V.C. Muscato, who handled the case with colleague Brian J. Hutchison. "We've been litigating this for three years."
Muscato said they intend to pursue a damage claim against the SPCA of Niagara, veterinarian Jeanne Best and the animal adopters in a trial Watson has scheduled for July 8.
Kelly Winslow, whose husband Richard Winslow adopted one of the dogs, bitterly criticized Watson's ruling.
"We are, of course, disgusted by this decision, that any judge would allow animals to go back to the woman who failed to feed, bathe and give any type of human attention" to them, Kelly Winslow said in an email. "Our biggest fear is, of course, that the same will continue and she will get away with it."
The horse was living in a stall jammed with at least two feet of manure, and the dogs were underweight, with matted fur, and sleeping atop piles of hardened feces, Best told police at the time. Best and volunteers had cleaned out the horse manure earlier in 2009, but the conditions persisted, leading to the police being called.
Gonzalez' attorney in the animal cruelty case, Matthew P. Pynn, told The Buffalo News that Gonzalez had serious health problems at the time.
Best's attorney, Paul Hammond, told Watson in a Feb. 7 hearing that Gonzalez also was caring for her father, who had dementia at the time; he has since died.
An adjournment in contemplation of dismissal of the misdemeanor animal cruelty charges was proposed by Niagara County District Attorney Michael J. Violante and approved in Hartland Town Court in March 2010.
"The DA does not require the defendant to give up her right to have the animals returned to her," Violante wrote on the plea slip.
Watson wrote in his ruling that Best "orchestrated the adoptions of the horse and three dogs through the authority of the SPCA."
Best ended up with a horse, later given to Chestnut Rose Adventures, a not-for-profit riding organization in Akron. She also adopted the German shepherd that died.
Muscato said Gonzalez is seeking compensation for the dog that died, along with attorney fees and punitive damages.
Best had sought a lien against Gonzales for the costs of caring for the seized animals; Watson refused that.
Winslow, a friend of Best's, adopted a Border collie, and an employee of Best's, Stacey A. Bailey, has another German shepherd seized from Gonzalez.
"The record is clear that all the defendants … were aware of Gonzalez' intent to have the animals returned to her," Watson wrote. "The court rejects the arguments that the animals were abandoned. … Nothing in the record convinced this court the legal rights of ownership were terminated."

I have heard from numerous friends that their little ones could not stop talking about the program after their classes visited STARBASE. Some naysayers might have you believe otherwise, but getting kids excited about learning is one of the most important parts of the educational process, and this program delivers.

Science and Physics is not only about book-learning and being able to work through the equations. It must be relevant and relatable, or else it is just another dry, dusty subject. This program needs to be saved.

13th GE: Battle for the Middle Ground
Apart from the Dap, both Pas and PKR are facing an unsettled electoral base. Erosion of support among the Malay and Indian voters is the biggest challenge facing the opposition.
For Pakatan, it is not good if only Dap is doing its part in winning the majority of Chinese voters. It is difficult to tell when Pas' patience may run thin if the party loses more Malay majority seats or loses Kelantan in the next GE.
Pakatan needs to address the Malay dilemma very quickly. The newly minted coalition has argued against the failure of NEP but it has not been able to do more by introducing an alternative policy to address the multifarious socio-economic issues faced by the community.
In the end, the return of Malay voters to the ruling coalition may be contributed by a lack of alternative policy or a new hope for the community rather than Umno's supremacy chant. The community would rather find comfort within a familiar environment than to venture out into the unknown.
Politicians must take note that 'ketuanan Melayu' to them is interpreted differently from the common people. Politicians want to preserve political power for themselves. Most of the Malay voters fear a worse backlash on their socio-economic situation and livelihood if their rights are no longer protected by the government. Not many Malays seriously believe that they are a far superior race compared to others.
They needed 'ketuanan Melayu' to protect their own well-being. Until and unless there is a programme to empower and to build the capacity of the community, Malaysia race based political model would continue to be effective and relevant. Dominant race based parties will continue to dominate.
Anwar Ibrahim may be an inspirational leader to Pakatan members but his on-going sodomy trial and unending sexual allegations may have taken their toll on his party and the coalition. Most of the leaders in PKR are Anwar's cheer leaders. None of them are ready to step up and step out of Anwar's shadow.
The party depends too much on Anwar to persuade the Malay voters to support the party. Unfortunately, the de facto leader is not in the right position to help his party to galvanize the middle ground.
On the other hand, the Umno led Barisan Nasional is making too many conflicting moves which may not help the coalition to make any significant gains from the middle ground too.
The return of some Malay and Indian support should not be misconstrued as a return of popular support for the coalition.
The lost of Malay and Indian support in the last GE was somewhat contributed by Mahathir's relentless attacks on Abdullah Badawi which had led to an internal strife within Umno and partly Indians unhappiness with Samy Vellu.
With both Abdullah and Samy out of the way, the coalition should claw back at least 5-15% support from both communities. The gains made are actually from Barisan own core supporters which had chosen to vote against them in the last GE.
PM Najib has tried to win over the middle ground through his NEM and 1Malaysia initiatives. However, several conflicting moves e.g. 1Melayu 1Bumi, Perkasa, Pembela, Muslim NGOs, sex video, abuse of power, corruption, overstaying leaders etc. made by his allies are going to dent his hope of winning over the middle ground.
Next GE is going to be a very polarized one for Malaysia. There are two sides of Malaysian politics: urban & rural politics.
Urban politics is largely dominated by a large middle ground. These voters expect less politicking and are less tolerant of bad governance and arrogant politicians. Most of them are expected to still vote against the Barisan if the coalition does not change its political strategy drastically to represent a more responsible and moderate face.
Rural areas are probably going to vote for status quo. They are still somewhat insulated from the issues and challenges by urban folks including inflation, high cost of living and others.
However, a government is run from the city. Policies are being formulated in Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya.
The world, when measuring Malaysia's development and affluence, would be looking at Kuala Lumpur and not Lenggong or Kudat.
So far, no one is winning the battle for the middle ground yet.
8 comments:
YOur reading is out. The middle ground is already won by the Pakatan Rakyat. Most of the educated and working classes are not with Barisan anymore. Talk to the taxi drivers. The kampong pie is with UMNNO. Pakatan must focus on this group. Let the DAP deal with the urban masses. Read the main newspapers Barisan is winning back people. Read the writing on the pavements Barisan is gone. But read the writing on the rural roads and kampong paths Barisan is still ..not OK but...

The middle ground will be battle ground
When the next election comes around
Whether or not this observation is sound
Will depend on the final results to be found

These is only ONE way for the ground to shift in favour of Pakatan. That is if some influential people and some parties in BN desert the coalition and align themselves with Pakatan.
e.g PBS, PBB, Tengku Razaleigh, Khairy,Ong Kee Tiat and the like.
Only then the earth will shake.
An accountant placed an advertisement outside his office for
"GENERAL CLERKS with minimum SPM qualifications".
You know what. There were countless applicants and most were local Malay graduates.
Tell me. Why should Malays be grateful to UMNO.
Yes, PKR is the weakest link. Among them are many frogs and so called generals. Even in Sarawak, with 3 elected rep they want to make so much noise on the shadow cabinet. Anwar is very inconsistent and carries too many baggages. He doesn't have the strong support from members of his own party. What type of party with de facto leader. This is bullshit.
I think the BN has done the right stragedy in 'hentam'Annuar Ibrahim with the sodomy and sex video allegations so that a lot of time is drained from him from party matters.that is why PKR is seen to be in disarray and these tactics worked in rural areas bcos the folks are lacked of internal exposure and also due to their educational level of not be able to decern rationally.
Pakatan needs a strong malay leader who can see beyond racism to steer the coalition to success in GE13.
you forgot - the urban middle class , especially the many angry parents are definately voting against the govt - for the Math and Science issue. I have never been a voter but I made it a point to register myself this time to vote. Change our children future, we change yours too.
Failure to capture the rural seats in Sabah and Sarawak makes PR winning the 13th GE just a dream. Has PKR made much impact in this area yet? Just look at the Sarawak election. PBB is still very strong.Did DAP win because urban voters love them, or due to the complacency of SUPP,or they have no other viable opposition party beside DAP?
Will the "hate Mahatir" in 2008 and "hate Taib" campaign will still be effective in the coming GE for PR?
Isn't the latest shadow cabinet squabble showing the lack of political maturity on PKR?
DAP Sarawak should be commended for taking the initiative giving their elected candidates a chance learning to be Cabinet member matching BN on issues!

In many ways, this transition is very similar to the last "big thing" to hit corporate training - the "e-learning" era. The word "e-learning" started in 1998 and we went through a radical change in thinking about training over the next 10 years.
I think today's transformation is very similar and we have much we can learn from that history. This blog will give you come context, as we examine: today's transition - "from e-learning to we-learning."
The History of E-Learning and What We Learned
E-learning radically changed the training industry. In 2000 and 2001 we had two major shifts take place: the internet emerged as a new computing platform and we had a recession. These two factors together created a tremendous focus on moving training programs and materials away from "instructor led" to "online." As many of you probably remember, there was talk about the end of brick and mortar universities as we all rushed to do all our training and education online.
Today of course as e-learning has matured, there are many forms of online training and education. We can implement "Rapid E-Learning" (often PowerPoint to Flash), application simulations, business simulations, character simulations, audio, video, and a wide variety of instructional interactivities.
Most high schools and universities use the internet for distribution of class materials, communications between instructors and students, and distribution of key training tools. Today "instructional media" is everywhere: from YouTube to the California Driver's License Exam (and also, by the way, to "traffic school"). And we can now view and interact with these materials on cell phones, laptops, and computers everywhere.
In addition, the original "concepts" of e-learning have changed. In the first few years companies rushed rapidly to take existing slides and instructor materials and put them online. In fact, SkillSoft, the largest player in the content market, pioneered this approach. Today's e-learning programs are very different than instructor led training: they act and behave like online movies, online video games, and immersive virtual experiences.
And as we, as training professionals, have demanded more applications, the tools industry has grown up as well. Adobe's acquisition of Macromedia was largely driven by Macromedia's amazing success selling Breeze, Dreamweaver, and other tools to the instructional media industry.
So this twelve year evolution of "e-learning" has been exciting, innovative, and transformational. Today many corporate clients tell us that 70% or more of their corporate training (measured by instructional hours) is done online. Such a concept was unthinkable in 1998.
Enter "We-Learning"
Now here we are again, in the middle of a whole new era. People are calling it "social learning," "informal learning," and "collaborative learning." (Our research actually shows that "informal learning" is actually a whole set of new approaches, which include learning on-demand, embedded learning, as well as social learning. Our Enterprise Learning Framework, which took us almost two years to finalize, brings all these elements together.)
So as companies get excited about the whole concepts of "we-learning," what can we learn about this evolution from the one just before?
1. We-Learning will shift some focus away from traditional training, and create a need to learn new disciplines.
"We-learning" embraces the simple and profound concept that any organization has a collection of knowledge and experience which should be shared. It respects the fact that the training department may, at most, have 5-10% of the knowledge needed and used in the company. And organizational learning is taking place on a real-time basis - always changing and becoming more valuable.
Just like "e-learning" took the power away from the stand-up instructor, "we-learning" is going to take some power away from the instructional designer and training developer. We need to think about our roles as the facilitators, organizers, and drivers of collaborative learning - not necessarily the authors or designers.
And we have to give up a few old paradigms. I remember many arguments with instructional designers telling me why "rapid e-learning" was a terrible idea. Well let's learn from that experience and just get on with this new approach. Many of our clients are re-thinking their instructional design models now - making sure that all learning programs are really "learning environments" which have collaboration and social learning features "built-in."
We can still add a lot of value here - our research shows that there are a set of new disciplines for the modern L&D team which we need for success. Just as we had to learn about Flash, media design, and content development during the e-learning era, now we have to learn about community management, tagging, information architecture, and analytics.
(These are detailed in our research and in our new High Impact Learning Practices® industry study, a detailed report and set of assessment tools you can use to help embrace the new disciplines for L&D.)
2. E-Learning did not, despite predictions, kill traditional training and education. Nor will "We-Learning" totally replace carefully designed training programs.
I remember many articles about the death of brick and mortar education. It was all great PR. Now, in hindsight, we know that traditional training is not going away. Organizations still need formal training and certification to build a base level of knowledge and skills in many roles. But we now respect that in fact 80% or more of individual learning will take place through others - coaches, experts, managers, and peers.
Similarly, "we-learning" is not going to kill the need for formal instructional design, formal training, and instructor-led training. Rather it will extend and enhance traditional training - and in many cases make formal training even better. If you, as a subject-matter-expert, can tap into the collective wisdom of hundreds of people actually implementing what you already know, you will get smarter faster - enabling you to build even better tools and programs into your formal programs.
But let me add that there truly are some revolutionary effects taking place. At Sun, BT, the Federal Reserve, Network Appliance, Cisco, EMC, and many of the other companies collaborative learning strategies are creating even faster product cycles, better customer service, and new ways of developing people. BT believes that their "Dare2Share" network (a completely open YouTube for Learning program) saved more than $15 Million in the first year. These savings came from people no longer asking silly questions of their manager and re-solving small problems which others had already solved.
3. We-Learning will create markets for many new tools and platforms.
Just as e-learning spawned the modern LMS, a wide variety of development tools, and huge amounts of investment in content management - "we-learning" will spawn and support a tremendous number of new tools and systems to manage, track, and facilitate people working together online.
In this era we have some big companies to help us: Google is investing in Google Wave; Microsoft is investing in Sharepoint and Live Services; Adobe is investing heavily in Adobe Connect and other products: Cisco is investing millions in Webex, Citrix has launched an amazing set of new tools in GotoMeeting and its family, and there will be much more to come. We can thank Facebook, LinkedIN, Ning, and the rest of the social networking websites for many innovative ideas which will be rapidly copied into our corporate learning systems.
What we learned in e-learning was that the tools will change. While today you may use Jive or Sharepoint for your social learning platform, get prepared for something new and radical to appear down the road. Taleo's new development planning module, Saba's new Social Learning environment, and Plateau's new Talent Gateway are all giving us new tools and paradigms to facilitate communication and knowledge sharing. And I truly believe we will find ways of harnessing twitter and other "message-based" communication tools for learning very quickly.
4. We-Learning will change our behavior in corporate training.
Just as e-learning enabled us to stop flying people all over the place, we-learning will change the way we think about where and how people learn. Consider Sun Microsystems' new Sun Learning Exchange. This platform lets people browse and watch videos, audios, and other media from experts; it lets them download and subscribe to areas of interest on their cell phones, and it lets them receive updates and post responses via email.
Just as e-learning freed us from the classroom for all our learning, we-learning is going to free us from the computer. I would not be surprised to see more and more collaborative learning taking place on cell phones and other mobile devices.
When I wrote The Blended Learning Book I examined 17 different elements of instructional media and how it all could be tied together. Now let's add "we-learning" to the mix and add the ability to collaborate to almost every other form of formal training. Before class get people together online to discuss their objectives. During the class let's collaborate with each other to share experiences from the instructor. After the class let's create a community of practice and share information about how we are applying what we learned. The options are endless.
5. We-Learning will demand a change in culture and leadership.
I remember days in the 1980s and early 1990s when people were actually afraid to spend too much time in front of their computers. We learned, through 10 years of experience with e-learning, that we had to give people time and place to "learn online."
Similarly, we have to give people the support, culture, and motivation to engage in "we-learning." Does your organization have a culture of knowledge sharing? Are experts rewarded for sharing their best-practices? And more importantly, do you have incentives and career models which tell experts that "we expect you to contribute to the collective knowledge of the organization?"
Our research actually shows that the single biggest driver of success in today's modern L&D world is culture. No matter how well you design the programs, systems, and experiences - they only "stick" when the company itself values a continuous focus on organizational and individual learning. More and more top executives are thinking "how can I get people in this organization to more rapidly share information, talk to customers, and learn faster." These types of conversations lead to a discussion about the organization's learning culture - one of the biggest drivers of success in this new era.
Bottom line: We have a lot to learn.
Let's embrace the world of "we-learning" with the same fervor and excitement we had for e-learning. If we just remember the lessons of the past, we will find this new era of corporate training one of the most important and transformational changes in our industry.

Thanks! It's really helpful. Actually I, as a L&D people, do feel that "we-learning" is more and more applied in my company, esp. in economic downturns. And to foster the culture, supporting from top management is very very important.

Josh,Great insights here and I agree 100%! We (Maryland Association of CPAs) have been working on more ways to incorporate social/informal learning tools and techniques into our professional development activities for CPAs. We regularly use slideshare, blogs, YouTube, twitter hashtags to engage our participants and create two way conversations that share and capture insights. Love the idea of e-learning to we-learning!

The one thing that makes "we-learning" a more interactive and effective online learning platform is that it composes of differently involved people learning in one concept, and sharing ideas with each other. online continuing education and certification courses

Steve Benen TAKES A LOOK AT several tall tales Fox News has been peddling about the Affordable Care Act:
First was a North Carolina couple that said the health care law is hurting their construction business, forcing them to keep their employees at part-time status. As it turns out, what they said on the air was simply made up.
Then there was a woman who was paying over $13,000 a year in premiums, who was recently told by her insurer that her plan was being terminated. This was proof, she told Hannity, that when Obama said consumers could keep their ...Read more

Football Spring Practice Report No. 2
Ball State's football team concluded the second day of Spring Practice in preparations for the 2014 season as the players learn from the new coaches.
Joel Godett takes a look at the Cardinals' four new faces on the coaching staff, including John Strollo, who spent the 2011 season at Ball State, and Patrick Dougherty, who was a graduate assistant for the Cardinals in 2012.
The players have adjusted to the changes and are continuing to learn this spring from the returning coaches and the new staff under the direction of head coach Pete Lembo.
"With the addition of Kevin Kelly as defensive coordinator and the return of John Strollo as offensive line coach, this is perhaps the most experienced staff I have ever had," Lembo says. "Along with the additions of Patrick Dougherty and Nick Siatras, we have a terrific blend of youth, energy and knowledge of the Mid-American Conference. Some of the faces have changed, but the chemistry has not missed a beat. The players seem to be relating very well with our new coaches."
Ball State has 13 practices remaining and will conclude with the annual Spring Game Sat., April 19, at 2 p.m. at Scheumann Stadium.

He is known in the local medical community as Dr. Mark Mataosky, but those who serve under his command in the U.S. Army Reserves call him "Colonel." At the start of his 22 years in the military, he was deployed to the Middle East during Desert Shield/Desert Storm, and he would return to the region during the Iraq War. Currently, he balances his commitment to the Army Reserves with his responsibilities as director of cardiac rehabilitation for Trident and Summerville medical centers and the patients he sees through Cardiology Consultants of Charleston. Dr. Mataosky's work with Trident Health often takes him to the cardiac catheterization lab, where he searches for blockages in a patient's arteries. But it's more common for him to rule out heart problems in those who come to see him at his office.

on October 1, 2012 - 12:11 AM
The loser of Sunday's game in Green Bay between the New Orleans Saints and Packers was going to face a big hole to dig out of to get to the NFL playoffs. Turns out it was the Saints, who lost, 28-27, to go 0-4 and fall four games behind Atlanta in the NFC South one-quarter of the way through the regular season.
By pulling out the win, Green Bay evened its record at 2-2, one game behind surprising Minnesota in the NFC North.
Atlanta was one of the NFL's three unbeaten teams to emerge unscathed - just barely. The Falcons scored last in a back-and-forth game and edged Cam Newton and the visiting Carolina Panthers, 30-28. Houston joined the Falcons at 4-0 with a routine home win over Tennessee, 38-14. Arizona, also 4-0, needed overtime to defeat visiting Miami, 24-21.
Game of the day
Packers 28, Saints 27
The scoop: Aaron Rodgers threw a go-ahead touchdown to Jordy Nelson in the fourth quarter, as Green Bay came from behind. Garrett Hartley missed a 48-yard field goal attempt with just under three minutes remaining, costing the Saints a shot at the lead. Rodgers threw for 319 yards with four touchdowns and an interception. Drew Brees threw for 446 yards with three touchdowns for the Saints. It was the 47th game in a row with at least one touchdown for Brees, tying the NFL record by Johnny Unitas.
Why the Packers won: After failing to score on their first three series of the second half, Rogers managed a 57-yard drive for the winning touchdown with 7 minutes left.
Staying perfect Falcons 30, Panthers 28
The scoop: Matt Bryant kicked a 40-yard field goal with 5 seconds remaining to keep Atlanta unbeaten. The Falcons are off to their best start since 2004, when they reached the NFC Championship Game. Despite taking a career-high seven sacks, Matt Ryan threw three touchdown passes for Atlanta. Bryant added three field goals. The winning kick was set up by a 59-yard pass to Roddy White.
Why the Falcons won: After giving up the lead, they forced Carolina to punt the ball away on its last two possessions before Bryant's game-winner.
Cardinals 24, Dolphins 21
The scoop: Jay Feely kicked a 46-yard field goal 6:31 into overtime for Arizona. The Cardinals forced overtime when Kevin Kolb threw a 15-yard touchdown pass on fourth down to Andre Roberts with 22 seconds to play in regulation. The winning field goal came after Miami's rookie quarterback, Ryan Tannehill, was hit by Paris Lenon as he threw and Kerry Rhodes came up with an interception.
Why the Cardinals won: They kept their poise after an 80-yard bomb to Brian Hartline had given Miami a 21-14 lead with 7:05 left.
Texans 38, Titans 14
The scoop: Danieal Manning and Kareem Jackson returned interceptions for touchdowns in the second half and Matt Schaub threw two TD passes for Houston, off to the best start in club history. Titans quarterback Jake Locker left in the first quarter and did not return after hurting his left, non-throwing shoulder on a hit by Glover Quin. Matt Hasselbeck threw two touchdown passes in relief of Locker. Tennessee's Chris Johnson carried 25 times fof 141 yards, more than tripling his rushing total through the first three games.
Why the Texans won: They took charge with touchdowns on their first two series and had no turnovers.
Best of the rest Eagles 19, Giants 17
The scoop: Alex Henery kicked a 26-yard field goal, his fourth of the game, with 1:49 left to give Philadelphia the victory. Lawrence Tynes of the Giants was short on a 54-yard attempt with 15 seconds left that would have given New York the lead. Michael Vick passed 19 yards to DeSean Jackson for the Eagles touchdown. Eli Manning of the Giants threw TD passes to Victor Cruz and Bear Pascoe in the second half.
Why the Eagles won: An offensive pass interference penalty pushed the Giants back 10 yards before Tynes' final miss.
Vikings 20, Lions 13
The scoop: Percy Harvin returned the opening kickoff 105 yards for a touchdown and Marcus Sherels scored on a 77-yard punt return early in the third as Minnesota (3-1) matched the number of wins it had last season. The Vikings also snapped an 11-game losing streak in the division. The Lions have lost three straight.
Why the Vikings won: Detroit's kick coverage was terrible again, and the Lions ran for only 55 yards.
Chargers 37, Chiefs 20
The scoop: Philip Rivers threw for 209 yards and two touchdowns, and San Diego capitalized on six turnovers, five in the first half, when San Diego raced to a 27-6 lead. Matt Cassel threw for 251 yards and two touchdowns for Kansas City, but he also had three first-half interceptions, one of which linebacker Donald Butler returned off a deflection 21 yards for a touchdown.
Why the Chargers won: The Chiefs' mistakes made it too easy.
Rams 19, Seahawks 13
The scoop: Rookie Greg Zuerlein kicked four field goals, including a 58-yarder and a club record 60-yarder, and the Rams used a fake field goal to score their only TD of the game. The Rams went ahead, 10-7, late in the first half when a fake field goal attempt turned into a 2-yard touchdown pass from punter Johnny Hekker to Danny Amendola. Marshawn Lynch led Seattle with 118 yards on 20 carries, including an 18-yard score on the game's first possession.
Why the Rams won: They intercepted Russell Wilson three times, with Bradley Fletcher clinching it with a pick at the Rams 25 with a minute to go.
Bengals 27, Jaguars 10
The scoop: Andy Dalton threw two touchdowns passes and ran for a score, and Cincinnati earned its third consecutive win. Blaine Gabbert of the Jaguars completed 23-of-34 passes for 186 yards, with a touchdown and an interception. Dalton completed 20 of 31 for 244 yards.
Why the Bengals won: They had six sacks, putting constant pressure on Gabbert.
Redskins 24, Buccaneers 22
The scoop: Billy Cundiff redeemed himself for a poor day kicking, booting a 41-yard field goal with 3 seconds remaining to give Washington the victory. Cundiff had missed three earlier attempts, including a 31-yarder that would have put the Redskins up by two scores early in the fourth quarter. Tampa Bay wiped out an 18-point deficit to go ahead, 22-21, on Connor Barth's third field goal, a 47-yarder with 1:42 remaining.
Why the Redskins won: They built a 21-3 halftime lead. Their only second-half points were Cundiff's game-winner.
Dogs of the day Broncos 37, Raiders 6
The scoop: Peyton Manning led Denver to three third-quarter touchdowns in the rout, the first time the Broncos have beaten their AFC West rivals at home since 2007. Denver outscored the Raiders, 27-0, in the second half. Manning (22 of 30) finished with 338 yards and three scores. Willis McGahee finished with 112 yards rushing for the Broncos for his 32nd career 100-yard game, the most of any active player.
Why the Broncos won: They scored on seven of their nine possessions.
49ers 34, Jets 0
The scoop: Carlos Rogers returned a fumble 51 yards for a touchdown, and San Francisco ran for more than 200 yards. The Jets lost top wide receiver Santonio Holmes, who suffered what appeared to be a serious foot injury on a non-contact play.
Why the 49ers won: They held the Jets to nine first downs, 145 yards.

Based on context, could either mean "testicles" or, eggs. However, people tend to be unclear with this at times...

Can you define these popular missing words?
The word means "eggs," but the reference to "balls" is so strong that you have to watch out using the word at all. Polite girls would probably order blanquillos (little white things) from a male waiter.
Huevos son lokin'!.......
Eggs in Spanish, but commonly used to describe testicles.
