I liked Jack. He wasn't or isn't perfect, but he brought certain qualities to the PG that neither Collison or Price has. I'm surrounded by those that keep saying "Collison's only in his 2nd year" and by those that makes excuses for everthing Price does. At the present time, NEITHER is the present answer to the PG position. Collison could be down the road, but let's face it he's presently not his former UCLA teammates Westbrook or Holiday.
Seriously, who do YOU feel is a higher PG than Jack that the Pacers can "realistically" get? Let's face it Rondo, Westbrook, Williams, Nash, etc isn't walking thru the door or beating it down to play for the Pacers. So who? I honestly want to hear who you feel is available to the Pacers. Maybe you have someone in mind that not been mentioned b4. I'd really be interested!!
I'm on record saying I'd like to bring in Raymond Felton, but many feel he's nothing but an older more expensive lateral move for Collison. I'm not in the least interested in drafting "the PG of the future" as some are. That is even if the Pacers could get that type of a pick to do so. I have no problem keeping Collison to season, but I want a PG that can bring and do things with their game Collison and Price can't.

I am 17 years old and when I started purberty, my right one grew faster than my left one. Since then, thy are two cup sizes different. Is there anything I could do now to help even them out? I also have discovered a light brown patch under my right breast nipple. It seems like a hickey, but it isn't because it's been there for some time. Does anyone know what it might be?
Right Breast is Larger Than my Left Breast. What Are My Options?
Doctor Answers 10
Many options available for assymetry.
It's important to realize every patient is unique.They have specific aesthetic goals and unique anatomic findings.The specific treatment for any individual patient will depend entirely upon these issues.In most cases, the goal of symmetry is most easily accomplished with a bilateral procedure.Occasionally, a unilateral procedure will suffice, but this is unusual.
When the goal is to make the smaller breast larger, the simplest solution is a unilateral breast implant.Unfortunately, if the size differential between the two breasts is small, there may not be a small enough implant to correct the problem.Under these circumstances, bilateral breast augmentation may be necessary.If sag is present, a breast lift may be necessary as well.
In some cases, the larger breast may be the primary concern.Under these circumstances, a unilateral breast reduction may be necessary.Occasionally, it's necessary to perform a procedure on the opposite breast for symmetry.These might include a lesser breast reduction, breast lift, breast augmentation or breast lift in combination with breast augmentation.
Every patient needs to be considered individually.The treatment plan should be appropriate for their anatomy and aesthetic goals.If you're considering correction of breast asymmetry, it's important that you meet with a board certified plastic surgeon that can discuss your aesthetic goals in greater detail and determine which options is best for you.

Breast asymmetry
Everyone is asymmetric to some degree. The most important thing to discuss with your plastic surgeon is whether your left breast is constricted. Your surgeon will be able to determine this during your exam. The breasts can be very close in size, but it is often impossible to make them exactly the same.

Breast asymmetry
Your situation is more common than you probably realize. The good news is that you have options to help bring your breasts into better symmetry. The larger breast can be reduced to more closely match the other, or the smaller breast can be augmented via an implant to make it closer in size to the larger breast. I would recommend a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to help you evaluate these options. The brown patch under your breast could be many things. A visit to a dermatologist may help you with a diagnosis on that. Good luck!
Uneven or asymmetrical breasts
Breast asymmetry is very common so don't feel that you are different. The solution from a surgical standpoint will depend on what volume you prefer. If the smaller volume is your preference then a reduction of the opposite breast would be necessary. If the larger volume is your preference then an augmentation with an implant probably would be required on the smaller side. Whether or not a reshaping procedure such as a breast lift would be dependent on your exam. I suspect that the pigmented area could be a pigmented mole or a portion of the areolar than formed outside of the nipple area. However, if it is something new or has changed in any way it should be seen by a dermatologist and possibly biopsied.
Breast growth
Each breast can grow differently, and they may stay that way. If you are not happy with the way they look, you can have a consultation with a plastic surgeon to have surgery to correct the asymmetry.
Correcting breast asymmetry.
Thank you for your question.
First and foremost you should know that breast asymmetry is extraordinarily common. Many many women have significant asymmetry and this is normal. There are a variety of options to correct asymmetry depending upon your goals. In cases of asymmetry the natural breast tissue can be altered, such as in breast lift and reduction. In some cases if needed breast implants can be used to help improve upon asymmetry.
It is important that you see a board certified plastic surgeon so that you can learn your options and their consequences. Your surgeon can also evaluate the lesion that concerns you. It is something that cannot be diagnosed without photographs and is best seen in person.
Good luck.
Options for correcting breast asymmetry
All women have slight asymmetry between the left and right breast. When there is a large asymmetry, the options are 1) Reducing the larger breast to match the smaller breast, 2) Enlarging the smaller breast to match to the larger breast, 3) combination of both with or without lift. It will depend on how large/small your breasts are as well as how they are shaped and how large you want to be. You should wait until your breast size has stabilized. Please visit with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options.

Breast Asymmetry
Thank you for your question.
Yes, there are many options to help with breast asymmetry. I would suggest visiting with well experienced plastic surgeons who can discuss all of your options with you and also show you examples. Your options would be possible breast augmentation, possible breast lifting, possible breast reduction and/or some combination of the procedures.
It would be best discussed after a physical examination and best for the surgeon to know the goals you would like to achieve with the surgery (show photos of what you like).
Best wishes.

Treatment for asymmetry...
Treatment for uneven breasts falls into one of three categories:
1. Make the large one smaller
2. Make the small one bigger
3. A combination.
Depending on your size, one of my favorite approaches is to make the breasts symmetric in volume and incisions and then augment both with the same size implant. The approach will of course depend on your anatomy. I cannot tell you about the brown patch without a photos. Good Luck

A Sydney dog owner has been ordered to pay $6400 after his American Staffordshire terriers tore off a man's ear.
Ben Arthur, 20, was mauled by dogs Billy and Angel in East Hills on October 30 last year while taking his dog Costa for a walk.
The dogs first set upon Costa, but Mr Arthur was attacked when he tried to protect his dog, losing his left ear and suffering other injuries. Surgeons at the time said he was lucky to be alive. Billy and Angel's owner, William Sacilotto, pleaded guilty to two dog attack charges and on Tuesday was fined $4400 and ordered to pay $2000 in court costs.
The court was told it was a terrible attack and the victim had required long rehabilitation.
The mayor of Bankstown City Council, which launched the legal action against Sacilotto, said the dogs should not have been able to escape from their home. ''Our residents should feel safe when doing a simple thing like taking their own pet for a walk,'' Councillor Khal Asfour said.
Billy and Angel were destroyed after the attack.
Outside court, Mr Arthur said Sacilotto deserved a tougher penalty. ''He trained those dogs, they were his responsibility and they paid the ultimate price for the attack, not him,'' he said.

Tata Ltd., a UK-based subsidiary of India's Tata Sons, announced today at the NBAA Convention that it will buy a one-third share of Italy's Piaggio Aero Industries, manufacturer of the Avanti II turboprop twin. The proposed investment by Tata, which is expected to receive regulatory and other approvals later this week, includes the purchase of existing shares from current shareholders and a new share offering. The Ferrari and Di Mase families and the Mubadala Development Co. of Abu Dhabi, UAE, the current primary shareholders of Piaggio, will also hold about one-third each of the Italian company when the deal is finalized. Under the agreement, Tata will have three of the nine seats on the board of Piaggio Aero and one of the three seats on the company's executive management committee. The undisclosed increase in share capital will enable Piaggio Aero to expand production rates, offer the Avanti II to new markets and develop new aircraft. Tata will also help Piaggio establish a market presence in India, where the government plans to develop 500 operational airports by 2020. Today there are fewer than 100.

UNITED NATIONS (Jul. 19)
Israeli sources warned today that Israel "will not consider any resolution that does not take into account the Israeli point of view" on the prisoner-of-war issue. Israel will ignore all "one-sided" resolutions as "mere paper" unless they "contain a call to all parties to release all prisoners," the sources told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
The sources commented in the wake of last night's Security Council meeting which Israel refused to attend after the Council decided to consider only a Lebanese-Syrian complaint that Israel had "abducted" one Lebanese and five Syrian officers on June 21. On June 26, the Council voted 13-0, with the United States and Panama abstaining, to condemn Israel's raids and captures.
Lebanese Ambassador Edouard Ghorra charged Israel last night with "lawlessness" and "persistent defiance" of the Security Council and with attempting to "impose conditions extraneous to the purport of the (June 26) resolution." Dr. George J. Tomeh, Syria's envoy, charged Israel with "blackmail" and belligerency, and threatened sanctions against that "robber baron" State. The Soviet deputy ambassador, Dr. Viktor L. Issraelyan, charged that Israel's actions and its "ostentatious absence" from the chamber proved defiance of the Council.
In a speech prepared for delivery at last night's session, Israeli Ambassador Yosef Tekoah contended that "Israel's efforts to achieve the release and repatriation of prisoners of war have in the past met with an unyielding refusal on the part of Egypt and Syria," a refusal he said that was "not acceptable to civilized opinion." Rejecting "one-sided resolutions" as ineffective, Tekoah declared: "Such resolutions have always remained powerless to weaken Israel's defense of its legitimate positions."
Secretary General Kurt Waldheim, in his first formal statement on the dispute, observed in a message to Council President Carlos Ortiz de Rozas of Argentina: "From reactions so far to contacts made by me and my representatives, both in Europe and in New York, in the exercise of my good offices, it appears at the moment that in the present circumstances a generally acceptable solution is not yet in sight….I still hope that our efforts and others now being made, may yet result in arrangements acceptable to all the parties concerned."

Is there anything than can be done to correct white scars that are lighter than my skin color?
What Can Be Done for White Scars?
Doctor Answers 10
White scars can be revised or camouflaged with permamanent make-up
All "scars" are white, as there is an absence of the melanin pigment producing cells in scar tissue. If the scar can be made smaller/less wide by a scar revision, this will improve appearance. To "cover" the white color, camouflage tattooing works quite well. This done by permanent makeup tattooists that have special training in this technique. The color of your skin is "matched" to a tattoo pigment that is tattooed into the scar tissue to replace the "lost color" due to the lack of melanin.
Treatment for white scars and hypopigmentation
Some white scars can respond to UVB laser treatment which can help stimulate dormant melanocytes to produce more pigment hence making the white scar look less white.
Effective Treatment for White Scars and Other Causes of Hypopigmentation
Ivory white scars, as well other types of loss of pigmentation problemw often result from prior injury or treatments, such as trauma, scalpel surgery,lasers and chemical peels. They may be due to certain infections and inflammatory processes that damage the pigment producing layer of our skin. Loss of pigment, or hypopigmentation, from any cause tends to be notoriously difficult to treat with any current modality.
I have had some success with repigmentation, regardless of the prior cause of the pigment loss, using a combination of medical microneedling followed immediately by the application of tyrosine solution. Tyrosine is the naturally occurring enzyme that stimulates melanin production in our skin. (It is the enzyme whose function we try to suppress with agents like hydroquinone when treating overpigmentation or HYPERpigmentation).
Successful treatment of hypopigmentation in this fashion usually requires a series of generally three to four (sometimes more) treatments spaced at four to six week intervals.

White Scars: Treatment of Hypopigmentation
White scars are characterized as scars that are hypopigmented whereby the pigment is lost. These scars are very difficult to treat as the process will have to stimulate the production of melanin in the area. This should be distinguished from vitiligo, which is an immunologic destruction of melanin by the body.
Depending on the location of the scars, the width, and the quality of the underlying tissue, the scars can be improved with specific lasers to stimulate pigmentary deposition, sun exposure, and excision.
The particulars of treatment can be managed by an experienced physician but should include a combination of surgery and laser/chemical peel treatment. Typically, these scars are much harder to treat than hyperpigmented dark scars.
Treatment for white scars
We have a couple different suggestions for white scars. Although this type of scar is very difficult to treat these are worth checking into.
- If you scar is small and isolated, then you may want to consider a surgical revision to the scar. In this procedure a plastic surgeon would remove the light scar tissue and pull the skin together in the area. You may be left with a small light line, but perhaps in many cases, much less noticeable than what you are describing.
- The Excimer laser. This type of laser is effective for bringing back pigment to the skin. It is more commonly used for Vitiligo, but is an option for repigmentation depending on the scar itself.
Learn more: http://www.celibre.com/scars.aspx
Eximer laser or IPL purple
If these are actually white areas of hypopigmentation and not true scars, this would be the most effective modality.m This wavelength (320) is the wavelength which is most effective for psoriaisis and also seems to stimulate the melanoctyes to make pigment. This treatment is totally painless and rapid.
There is also some preliminary research that peperine, an ingredient in black pepper may also stimulate pigment production.
If these are true scars secondary to tissue injury, my suggestion would be a Fraxel device.
White scars and Laser treatments
I have had some success with the Fraxel Re:store to treat hypopigmented scars. It requires multiple sessions and can slowly improve the pigmentation problem. The goal is to stimulate melanocytes to produce melanin. Again, this is usuallly for flat white scars and sometimes striae (stretch marks, as from pregnancy, weight loss, etc.).
White scars can be tattooed
If the scar is fine (and doesn't require re-excision and closure) and the only objection is the white of the line, they can be tattooed with a pigment to match the color as closely as is possible. If the line is wide, uneven, or depressed, it will require re-excision and a better closure.
White scars
Maybe scar revision for white scars
If the scars are wide and noticeable, scar revision can remove these "wider" portions and make them less noticeable. As you can see by the variability in the answers here, scar treatment really depends upon exactly how the scars look, their shape and where they are. You need to have them properly evaluated to know your best course of action.

Volumes were delayed and sizes large at the beginning of the Peruvian sweet onion deal, but quality was excellent and importers expected normal-sized crops, with more mediums on tap later in the deal.
Because of cool growing weather, Peru was running about two weeks behind at the beginning of September, with volumes expected to hit the week of Sept. 6, said Michael Hively, chief financial officer and general manager of Glennville, Ga.-based Bland Farms LLC.
Bland could have used that lost supply in late August to help meet demand, Hively said, though the company's New York deal helped to fill the pipeline until Peru ramped up.
"It would have helped to have had good supplies by mid-August, but we weren't hurt too bad," he said.
Quality in early-season onions was "absolutely gorgeous," Hively said, with sizes running about 50% jumbos, 40% mediums and 10% colossals.
That's down from a usual mix of about 40% jumbos, 40% mediums and 20% colossals, but Hively said the percentage of colossals would likely increase as the season progressed.
Bland expects to import about 1.5 million boxes of Peruvian sweets this year, up slightly from last year.
Greencastle, Pa.-based Keystone Fruit Marketing received its first shipment of Peruvian sweets just before Labor Day, said Marty Kamer, partner and vice president.
Volume shipments will likely begin in October, Kamer said.
"We will have steady and promotable supplies through February," he said.
Keystone's growers planted 10% more hectares in Peru this year, Kamer said, but volumes could be higher or lower, depending on the weather.
"It's a little too early to project the final volume for the season," he said.
"A 10% increased over last year would be logical. However, the final volume for the season is in part up to Mother Nature and the yields from the various fields from Peru."
Early shipments were heavy toward jumbos and colossals for Keystone, Kamer said.
"The quality has been very nice and will only improve as we get deeper into the season," he said.
Register, Ga.-based Four Corners Farms began shipping Peruvian onions the week of Aug. 9, right on schedule, said Rawls Neville, the company's operations manager.
Shipments increased weekly throughout the second half of August and began peaking in early September, Neville said.
Four Corners expects to ship about 195 loads of Peruvian sweets this year, about 40 more than last year, Neville said.
The company decided to increase its Peruvian deal because of certain expectations in the domestic market, he said — expectations that turned out to be correct.
"We thought Vidalia would be shorter, and that we'd need more (Peruvian product) on the front end, and that's pretty much what came to pass," he said.
Peru more or less had the U.S. sweet deal to itself heading into the fall, Neville said.
"There are some domestic deals going now, but they're very limited," he said. "There's not really any direct competition."
Excellent quality on the early Peruvian product helped to keep movement brisk for Four Corners' higher volumes, Neville said.
"Overall, it's the best onion from Peru in three years," he said. "The appearance is beautiful, and they're very mild."
The size profile of the company's early-season product also was outstanding, Neville said.
"We're shipping about 90% jumbos," he said. "It's a bigger profile than last year. Right now, we're perfect."
Four Corners expects to ship Peruvian onions through December, Neville said.
Volumes will likely to be down slightly compared to last year for Melbourne, Fla.-based Sweet Onion Trading Co., and more in line with the 2008 season, said Barry Rogers, the company's president.
Sweet Onion Trading expects to import about 185,000 cartons this season, he said. The company's deal should wind down in late December or early January.
Medium-sized onions from Peru could be more scarce, thanks to increasing domestic demand in the country, Rogers said.
"A lot of onions are being sold for cash locally," he said. "It seems to be a trend that increases every year."
Mount Kisco, N.Y.-based Direct Source Marketing expects to bring in about 120,000 boxes of Peruvian sweets this season, up from 70,000 boxes last year and 45,000 boxes in 2008, said Ira Greenstein, the company's owner.
The company's first load arrived the week of Aug. 23, Greenstein said.
"We're very pleased with the quality," he said.
Reidsville, Ga.-based Shuman Produce Inc. imported its first load of Peruvian sweets in mid-August, but volumes weren't expected until mid- to late September, said Brandon Parker, the company's sales manager.
Upon onion arrivals, inspections at the port slowed the distribution of early-season product, Parker said. Volumes increased on a weekly basis in late August and early September.
Shuman Produce expects to ship up to 475,000 cartons of Peruvian onions this year, up from last season, Parker said.
The company's first-crop shipments from Peru will wind down around the first of the year, he said. Shipments from a second crop should last through February.
Parker reported outstanding quality in September, noting the crop's good color, shape and size.

At Raleigh bridal shop, dress comes with stress
Posted August 8, 2013
Raleigh, N.C. — Delayed dresses, wrong sizes and stressed brides are not a good combination for a bridal shop. One local store has brides and bridesmaids complaining that dresses ordered months in advance arrived too close to the wedding day and others just didn't fit.
Libby Klein contacted 5 On Your Side about her sister Abby's wedding. In January, the bridal party ordered five dresses from Victorian Rose Bridals in Raleigh's Cameron Village. They expected the dresses to come in the first week of April, but they didn't arrive until May – one week before the wedding.
On top of that, three of the dresses didn't come close to fitting.
Klein's turquoise maid of honor dress was about three sizes too small, so a different bridesmaid, whose dress also didn't fit, ended up wearing it.
"They did the measurements here, so if nothing else, my dress should have been the one that fit perfectly," she said.
Instead, Klein had to rush to a department store to buy a coral substitute.
On a third dress, the bridesmaids used tape, bobby pins and ribbon to stick it together.
But when they complained to Victorian Rose Bridals, the store offered "no reparation ... not even an apology," Klein said.
Raleigh bridal shop's delays, sizing errors up wedding stress
Owner Kathy Purser said the store is "all customer service oriented," but that they have a no refund policy because dresses are custom orders. Still, she said, if the problem is the store's mistake, "we're going to remedy that."
5 On Your Side heard from other bridal parties with similar complaints about Victorian Rose Bridals – a bridesmaid whose dress arrived late and was the wrong color, a mother of the bride whose dress didn't fit and a bride still waiting for her gown two weeks before the big day.
The reviews online are mixed.
Asked whether the store at least has some communication and organization issues, Purser said "not at all." Customers didn't understand that estimated delivery dates are just a ballpark figure, Purser said.
"Estimated means two weeks before, two weeks after," she said, adding that her clerks now make that clearer to customers.
Purser eventually admitted problems with Klein's order and agreed to refund $364 – the cost of two of the dresses that couldn't be worn.
As for the wedding day, Klein said everyone involved made the best of it, while keeping a close eye on the bridesmaid who had to be sewn into her dress.
"We joked that we were all going to be on watch, just in case her dress fell down," Klein said. "Like I said, you try to make the best of a situation, but it was still very upsetting."

Welcome to the final installment of our annual pet parade, a holiday display of literary pets around the globe. GalleyCat readers have sent in pictures all week–the largest response we've ever received to the pet parade. Look for more pet pictures all week.
Hal Leonard Performing Arts publicity and marketing manager Diane Levinson sent that photo of Boomer the GalleyCat: "When Diane works at home (which she does a couple of days a week), Boomer loves to sit on the bench cushion right next to the computer where he can keep an eye on what she's up to and occasionally ask for a belly rub. In this pic, taken a few weeks ago, he's hanging out next to some current books Diane is working on—The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess, December 8: 1980, and Have Yourself a Movie Little Christmas–plus the all-important synonym finder."
Follow this link to see more pet parade photos. More cute pictures follow below–click to enlarge the individual photos. If we neglected to post your photo, send us a reminder email and we'll post it next week.
Author Vanessa Kelly sent this dog book review: "Yukon the Norwegian Elkhound is the family dog, and he's a great reader – especially of historical romance, as you can tell by his most recent Christmas present. He also likes to do book reviews on my website. Here's his latest review."
Reader Julia Karr submitted this photo: "It's Edward J Cattingham, sitting on the box containing ARCs of my debut novel. Guarding them, of course!"
Rose Fox sent that picture of one of her literary pets: "Sam the cat is especially helpful, or at least she thinks she is."
Moshe Feder submitted that photoe: "Nemo (top) and Blaise (bottom), two of my three cats, sleepily guard a chunk of ms. in the process of being edited (note red marks). I don't recall which book this was, but it was for Tor, where I'm a consulting editor."
Author Sandra Gail Lambert sent this photo: "Here's Pippin – a writer's low backrest and hot pack all in one."

LAFAYETTE, La. (AP) – Two eggs sitting on a nest of marsh grass and sticks in a crawfish pond offer a hope in a project to bring back the endangered whooping crane to south Louisiana.
State wildlife and fisheries biologist Sam Zimorski says they're fingers are crossed that next week there will be chicks hatching there.
It's been 75 years since a whooping crane egg was documented in the state, and the birds had disappeared from the Louisiana landscape by 1950, the victim of habitat loss and hunting.
The Advocate reports Tuesday's announcement of the new eggs was made in Lafayette at the North American Crane Workshop meeting, a gathering of scientists and conservationists interested in crane issues.

Acoustic Restaurant Closing Saturday in Sioux Falls
Acoustic restaurant in downtown Sioux Falls will close their doors for good this Saturday night (February 1).
It's not all bad news for fans of the food (which gained a lot of critical acclaim since opening in 2012). The owners have been offered a 'new opportunity' to be involved with another restaurant opening in southeast Sioux Falls, so rather than stretch themselves too thin trying to do both businesses, they have chosen to close Acoustic.
Acoustic had fought a few issues like not enough parking and a small dining area, but by all accounts, the food is/was fantastic.
The 'yet to be announced' new business will have seating for 300 with indoor and outdoor seating and have a casual atmosphere as well as serving some of the favorite Acoustic menu items.

An alliance of hundreds of pupils and schools and scores of local councils, as well as teaching unions, have lost their unprecedented legal challenge over GCSE English exam grades.
The alliance accused the AQA and Edexcel exam boards of unfairly pushing up the grade boundaries for English last summer in what amounted to "illegitimate grade manipulation" and "a statistical fix" involving exams regulator Ofqual.
But two judges at London's High Court have dismissed the challenge. Lord Justice Elias, sitting with Mrs Justice Sharp, said Ofqual had appreciated there were features which had operated unfairly and proposed numerous changes for the future designed to ensure problems that had arisen would not be repeated.
The judge said: "However, having now reviewed the evidence in detail, I am satisfied that it was indeed the structure of the qualification itself which is the source of such unfairness as has been demonstrated in this case, and not any unlawful action by either Ofqual or the AOs (exam boards)".
The judges were told at a hearing in December that an estimated 10,000 pupils who sat exams in June last year missed out on a C grade - the minimum grade normally needed to go into further education.
Clive Sheldon QC, appearing for the alliance, said the lower grades were not the fault of the students, who had "worked well and hard". He said the evidence of unfairness was overwhelming.
Ofqual had given an instruction to avoid "grade inflation", Mr Sheldon said. Predictions that too many students were going to get a C grade or better in GCSE English were used as a "straitjacket" rather than a guide, and a decision was taken to push up grade boundaries for the exams marked in June. This would bring down the numbers of good grades for the year as a whole, he added.
Lord Justice Elias dismissed the alliance's application for judicial review, but said the issue had caused an outcry and was "a matter of widespread and genuine concern properly brought to court".
Joan McVittie, headteacher of Woodside High School in north London, which was part of the alliance, and past president of the Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL), said: "We are bitterly disappointed. This case was taken on behalf of young people who were affected last summer. This has affected their life chances considerably."
Ofqual chief regulator Glenys Stacey said: "We welcome the decision of the court that, faced with a difficult situation, Ofqual did the right thing and the fairest thing, for the right reasons. We know some students and schools will be disappointed with this. We understand that. But it's our job to secure standards."

Original Packaging of 70-200mm f/2.8 IS II

One ring in the bottom of the lens pouch.
Lens, front element down in the lens pouch, inside the ring.
The other ring over the mounting end of the lens.
The hood over the mount end of the lens. The rear cap should protrude.

Close the pouch.
Large bag over the pouch.
One box insert into the box.
Pouch with lens inserts into the insert.
Put manual and card into box.
Put the other box insert into the box over the top of the lens pouch.
Sounds about how I remember it. One thing for certain, this lens was packaged to survive an earquake, truck roll-over and a bomb blast without any shock or impact damage. It seemed even more secure than the 300mm f/2.8 that comes in it's own miniature suitcase.

Blessing and groundbreaking for historic church expansion
Sun, 26 May 2013 01:33:06 GMT —
One of Traverse City's oldest catholic churches, St. Joseph's is expanding on Old Mission Peninsula. Dozens of community members came out for a special blessing and ground breaking for Saint Joseph's new building on Saturday evening.
St. Joseph's church was founded back in the 1800â??s and the church on Center Road was built back in 1908.
As the years went by more and more people joined the church, which created the need for a bigger building.
Over the past two years the church has raised $2.2 million dollars for an expansion project. The project will consist of moving the current church building about one mile south and then expanding the original structure.
The expansion will allow nearly 100 more people to fit inside the church for mass.
Church officials plan to start construction on the new building in mid-July and hope to have the whole project done by Christmas.

In February, a number of games that have yet to be published on Valve's Steam service appeared in Steam's database, including a listing for a previously unannounced PC port of Microsoft's Xbox 360 shooter Halo 3. The database listing was later deleted and Microsoft said there were no plans to bring Halo 3, which was developed by Bungie in 2007, to the PC.
Now there's yet more evidence that some kind of Halo 3 PC port is, or at least was, in the works, Someone looked into the latest AMD beta driver code and saw a Halo3.exe file listing inside the code. The post was made on Guru3D.com.
Unfortunately, Microsoft continues to insist that we won't be getting Halo 3 on the PC. In a statement to Eurogamer, the company repeated what it said in February, saying, "We currently do not have plans to release any Halo titles on Steam, nor do we currently have plans to release a PC version of Halo 3."
Microsoft is planning to launch a new version of the classic RTS game Age of Empires II in a new "HD" edition with updated graphics on Steam. It will be released on April 9th.

Have RV Questions? Ask an RV Mechanic Online.
WHERE IS THE FUSIBLE LINK LOCATED BETWEEN THE BATTERY AND FUSE CLUSTER? Ignition light and buzzer does not work. Key and all fuses related to ford have no power. whole ford dash does not work. Checked power on all 3 wires on positive terminal. Tested O.K.
Thank you for usingjustanswer.com, my name is XXXXX XXXXX I will be happy to assist you with yourconcern today.
Just seeing if you stillneed assistance with this problem?
Yes, you haven't answered my question. What other information do you need?
Have you checked the battery pos and neg terminal connections?
Yes, we have power there. The connections have been cleaned and the connectors are tight. The year is 2002 fleetwood storm class A.
It should be near the battery terminal or coming off of the starter if it has one some are also located at the starter relay solenoid, otherwise you either have a ground or power wire problem that will require looking and testing with a meter.
If you need any further assistance just let me know.
Thanksfor using justanswer / pearl.com and have a great day!
We already checked with a meter. That's how we know there is no power at the fuse cluster. Your reply leads me to believe that you don't know if there is a fusible link? Do you know where we can get a wire diagram of the chassis?
That is not the correct test I am referring to, what I am referring to is checking the resistance of the wire from point a to point b, so lets say the ignition/fuse wire comes from the starter relay or starter itself then you start at that point and go to the other, infinite resistance/ohms means a break in the wire... 0 or some ohms indicates a non-broken wire usually.... This is a nightmare for techs and thus why electrical is a highly rated skill and often involves us techs many hours in diagnosing the problem, I have had some jobs that took 50 hrs to locate an electrical problem or longer and others 2 mins. There's really only one way to check and that's getting in there and testing. Most of these no longer have wiring diagrams due to the nature of them... sort of just like boats.... a vehicle is different.

I've tried a couple, big and small, they are all magnets. I think it's the electro magnet that creates sound in earphones.
wow, that seems like a real big thing, i wonder if wnyone knows more aobut it, i would like to knowmore about it too..what kind of earphones are you talking about? like small ones you usually get with mp3-players or bigger ones?..maybe there isn't a difference?

Yes, there has been several documentations that says our generation are more likely to having hearing problems because of earphones. To prevent greater risk, take intervals of silent time to relax your ears instead of listening to music even when its really not needed and you are doing something else.
WTF? This was really random and unrelated to the OP's question. Hearing damage is a result of listening for something too loud for too long, not a result of magnetism.
If you are afraid of magnetism from your earphones, you'd better stay away from all types of phones. Your mobile phone puts out all kinds of radiation when your make a call. Your cordless phone will do similar things but with less power. Your corded telephone has a speaker with a maget on it. Bluetooth headsets aren't any better because they will still emit some type of radiation when it transmits.
The magnets in your earphones are always magnetized, not only when you play music through them. Some earphones use rare earth magnets which are much more powerful than regular ceramic magnets found in home speakers because they have more force with less weight.
You really cannot get away from EM as another poster already pointed out. Whether you are in the sun, or even just standing outside. If you stand outside long enough, you will receive enough EM radiation that can injure your, kill you, or cause you burn injuries...OK I'm talking about sunburns. Anyhow, you constantly being bombared by EM radiation from things like cell phone signals, TV and radio transmissions, etc. Earphones are probably the least of your worries as far a EM goes. You should be more worried about how loud you play them than about EM radiation from them.

From Our Editors
Staff members at Rick's Rent-A-Boat outfit water-riders with the necessary safety equipment before sending them off for a ride on a professionally maintained jet ski, kayak, or boat. During excursions, riders safely glide over the ripples and spray of San Diego Bay's coastal waters atop a Kawasaki or Honda jet ski, kayak, or Triton ski boat. Sporting a provided life vest and drawing on operating instructions included with each rental, riders cruise atop their seafaring stallions, skimming over foamy waves and leading schools of local fish in a Hamlet lecture. Depending on Mother Nature's mood, guests can make waves 8 a.m.–8 p.m. every day of the week.

Star Trek Spoilers and a Mayor With Baggage: Readers Respond
The Mayor's Next Move
Whither Antonio Villaraigosa? That's the question Patrick Range McDonald posed in his May 24 cover story ("Have Baggage — Will Travel") — and readers had much to say in response.
"Excellent article!" Melanie Pinkard enthuses. "Unbiased, well written and utterly ruthless. Villaraigosa's antics have always sickened me. He has the moral compass of a street pimp, and the IQ of a dust mite. Good riddance! However, with his ready smile and sudden need for money, perhaps he should apply at Walmart. He'd make a wonderful greeter."
David Tulanian is more concerned about one of the ideas floated in the article. "It is clear that Villaraigosa constantly reinvents himself. But 'scholar-in-residence' at UCLA or USC? What, may I ask, qualifies him for such an esteemed position? He failed the bar exam four times ... Globe-trotting Villaraigosa, a mayor-in-absentia, doesn't deserve a scholar-in-residence position."

Mpiscal offers a contrary view. "Patrick, really? The mayor pushed school reform more than any other mayor, and that includes Richard Riordan. One way to judge how much the mayor pushed the education conversation is to see what the teachers unions think of him. They HATE him. He stood up for the kids and that is all that counts. Who cares what he drinks, what he wears, and where he sits at a Lakers game? You lost your way on this one. Shame on you."
J. Lynch is just hoping we can change the subject. "Now that Tony Villar is history, I hope this is the last time you put this grinning jackass on the cover."
The Wrath of Trekkies
In our May 17 issue, Amy Nicholson reviewed J.J. Abrams' new movie, Star Trek Into Darkness ("Paradise Lost in Space"). And her second-sentence revelation about the identity of its villain — not a spoiler, she insisted, but a "selling point" — had some readers fuming. The giveaway in the online headline didn't help, either.
Writes Alex Mitrovich, "I realize it is your job to review movies, but I just wanted to let you know that your title completely ruined the surprise for me. You state that it's 'not a spoiler,' which shows that you probably weren't very familiar with the production or franchise to begin with. A giveaway should have been that he wasn't even called Khan until halfway through the movie, not to mention that he wasn't listed as 'Khan' on IMDb.com until recently. ... Hopefully you do some research next time."
William thinks Nicholson's choice is an indictment of her entire gender. "I know this is going to sound bad, but sending a woman to review Star Trek is kinda asinine, evidenced by the fact that her intent was to ruin the movie. I have a feeling deep down inside she hates these kind of movies, so she figured she'd screw everybody by telling everything that happened. You guys might lose some readers over this."

I don't know much about (bio)statistics, but that doesn't mean I don't want to do the things right :). All I want to get out of this analysis is to be able to say whether the correlation between genome lengths and numbers of particular genes (which looks neat and obvious from the scatter plot) is statistically significant given that the data points are heavily phylogenetically biased. That's why I mentioned "p-values". Of course, I'm open to any better/more accurate way of getting there than initially planned. > > Sturla > > > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

To the OP or anyone who haven't figured out the biteless thing...
The virus is airborne. Everyone is infected but they don't turn until they die. It might be the secret from the base.
03-12-2012 #6
Thought that kept inline with the comics? This season has really picked up since the barn break out.

In case someone gets confused by what I said...
Rick kills Shane, but then carl shoots him/kills him as a zombie, that's what I meant.
Kopkiwi- Your guess is as good as mine.
03-12-2012 #11
Loved the ending. All those Zombies closing in. Season final should be awesome.

Just watched the episode. That was awesome. That's the Walking Dead I know and love, not this whole farm soap opera bull$#@! of the first half of season 2 and parts of the second half.
I never read the comics, so the airborne thing is new to me, but it does explain a lot. I was always wondering why when Rick was in the hospital, the army was going through the hospital and killing patients. Now it makes sense to me, originally I just thought it was an overreaction to what was happening. Also explains the guy that hung himself in the tree and the two cops.
Now I'm just wondering if that is what the guy at the CDC whispered into Rick's ear.
03-12-2012 #15
Yeah it's best show on tv!!20...
03-12-2012 #16
03-12-2012 #17
I haven't seen either of them.
It's slow at times I grant you but then it picks up and you have an action packed, dramatic episode with twists and turns.20...
03-12-2012 #18
What you describe though is what I consider shock-value moments to make up for bad storytelling. I just feel like if Darabont was still running the show this season would have been much better. Check this out http://insidetv.ew.com/2012/01/09/fr...season-2-plan/
03-12-2012 #19
Yeah sounds like a good episode.
Season one started awesome with lots of action and trailed off at the beginning then picked up at the end.
Season 2 is telling more of a story focusing on moral issues at the moment.20...
03-12-2012 #20
I have to agree with manutdfan.
Season 1 had problems. The first episode was excellent and then it slowly trailed off to the ugly base explosion. Darabont and company re-evaluated their writer situation when the season ended.
Season 2 gets flack but you need the first half as a setup for this. Where all the tensions finally snap.
Shibby, you mentioned Breaking Bad. It does the same thing. I think you just prefer it more. It has "lesser" episodes earlier in the season so when the end comes, that tension just blows up.
03-12-2012 #21
Season 2 is definitely a character development season. Finale def looks like it'll be pretty intense.
Regarding Breaking Bad, I can see what you mean, but in my opinion it just gets stronger and stronger as it goes along. Instead of the earlier episodes being poor, I think the later episodes are just that good that they overshadow the early ones. (That random fly episode is excluded entirely, I don't know wtf it was lol).
Whereas in Walking Dead, I can't say I even enjoyed the first half of season 2. I wanted to re-watch season 1 just to remind myself why I'm even caring. The scale of it is the biggest factor though, the first season was 6 episodes of constantly changing scenario, so any "lesser" episode wasn't really an issue. But with 13 episodes all on a farm, it gets pretty annoying.
03-12-2012 #22
03-12-2012 #23
I've enjoyed both seasons. Season 2 seems be be showing moral issues and showing how the characters have changed. The barn incident was really well done and intense. So was the incident with the shootings of the strangers in the bar.20...
03-13-2012 #24
The barn incident was well done, but I don't think it needed 7 full episodes to get there.
03-13-2012 #25
Yeah they did milk it a bit, was leading up to Sophia coming out at the end. Hershel knew all a long but never told them.20...

It was business as usual for Lady Gaga Sunday night at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Belfast, Northern Ireland. She picked up a couple of awards, and she wore a really unusual outfit. Gaga was the top winner of the night, receiving four awards. She was named best female, and she won the best song and best video categories for "Born This Way." She also took the award in the "biggest fan" category, which recognizes artists who have the most committed fan bases. During the broadcast, Gaga performed "Marry The Night" on top of a half-moon structure on the stage. She initially wore a blue circular mask but eventually took it off. Her outfit was a purple, two-circle creation through which her head stuck out in the middle. Justin Bieber, whose girlfriend Selena Gomez hosted the ceremony, won two awards: best male and best pop. He performed during the broadcast, as did Selena. Other performers included Coldplay, Bruno Mars and Adam Lambert, the latter of whom joined Queen for the legendary rock band's songs "The Show Must Go On," "We Will Rock You" and "We Are The Champions."

Bruce Springsteen
Bruce Springsteen was described as being "the future of rock 'n' roll" in a concert review from 1974. Born to Run (1975) helped justify the claim, and his appearance on the covers of both Newsweek and Time in late '75 added to the hype. His fame and popularity grew to stratospheric proportions following the release of Born in the U.S.A. in 1984.
AppealFor women who like their men articulate yet unpretentious, sensitive, but with a rough edge, Bruce Springsteen is their man. He's not the best-looking performer out there, but women go for his sincerity, his boy-next-door appearance and his amazing way with words.
The passion and energy he exudes during his live performances have been known to move young women to mount the stage and grab him (at least they did back in the pre-ultra-tight security days of big rock shows). The scene in the "Dancing In The Dark" video where a teenaged Courteney Cox gets up on stage to cut a rug with The Boss was apparently inspired by the dreams of quite a few of his female fans.
SuccessBruce Springsteen's fame had been building steadily from the mid '70s, and exploded following the release of Born in the U.S.A. in 1984. That album went on to sell some 20 million copies, ranking it as one of the best-selling albums of all-time in the U.S. It spent a record-breaking 85 consecutive weeks in the top 10, and was also the second of only a handful of albums to produce seven top 10 singles in America. The album's title track was misinterpreted as a patriotic anthem and used by Ronald Reagan during his bid for re-election in '84.
"Dancing In The Dark" won The Boss a Grammy for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance in 1984. In '87, he took home the Grammy for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance for the album Tunnel of Love. "Streets of Philadelphia," the theme song to the 1993 film Philadelphia, won Bruce Springsteen Grammys in categories like Best Rock Song, Song Of The Year and Best Song Written Specifically For A Motion Picture Or Television, as well as the Golden Globe, MTV Award and Academy Award in the latter category. Bruce Springsteen got the opportunity to perform before a massive worldwide audience at the Oscar ceremony in March 1993. He picked up another Grammy in 1996 when The Ghost of Tom Joad won in the Best Contemporary Folk Album category, in 2003 he picked up some more hardware for The Rising, which was named Best Rock Album, while the title track earned him awards in the Best Rock Song and Best Male Rock Vocal categories. And in 2007 for Best Long Form Music Video.
In 1997, Bruce Springsteen was honored with what is considered to be the Nobel Prize of Music; King Karl Gustav of Sweden presented Mr. Springsteen with the Polar Music Prize at a ceremony in Stockholm. In 1999, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In December 2000, he received the Humanitarian Community Service Award from the Red Bank, N.J. branch of the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People).
In Rolling Stone's "Classic Pop Song Award" website poll of 2001, "Born to Run" came up the winner, while "American Skin," his song about the shooting of Amadou Diallo, was second choice. And he came in at No. 15 in Life magazine's Top 100 Rock & Rollers of All Time in 2002.
Bruce Springsteen BiographyBruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen was born September 23, 1949, and raised in the small town of Freehold, New Jersey. He bought his first guitar in 1963 at the age of 14.
Two years later, he joined his second band, The Castiles (his first band was The Rogues), as vocalist and lead guitarist. In 1966, the band recorded two original songs, both cowritten by Bruce Springsteen, which were never released. That band broke up in '68, and he formed another group called Earth. In 1969, he joined Steel Mill, and Bruce Springsteen soon emerged as the driving force behind the act.
bruce springsteen and the e street band release albumsAfter the demise of Steel Mill in '71, Bruce Springsteen formed Dr. Zoom & the Sonic Boom, and the 10-piece Bruce Springsteen Band, which played to packed houses around the Jersey shore. He decided to take a chance on going the solo route in 1972, and soon came to the attention of producer Mike Appel, who became his manager. Mike Appel brought him to Columbia Records' legendary talent scout John Hammond, who had also signed Billie Holiday and Bob Dylan to the label. Bruce Springsteen recorded his debut album with ex-bandmates from his hometown. Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J. was released in January 1973, and although it received favorable reviews, it failed to do well commercially.
Bruce Springsteen and the newly christened E Street Band's reputation as an outstanding live act began to build, especially on the East Coast. A second album, The Wild, the Innocent and the E Street Shuffle came out in September 1973, and met the same commercial fate as the first LP. However, a review of one of Bruce Springsteen's shows by renowned critic Jon Landau in 1974, in which Jon Landau exalts "I saw rock 'n' roll's future, and its name is Bruce Springsteen," added to the 24-year-old's growing status as an artist to look out for.
bruce springsteen releases darkness on the edge of townAmid the slowly building hype preceding the release of his third album, his first two LPs finally made the best-sellers chart in July 1975, peaking at No. 60 and No. 59 respectively. Born to Run was released in August and burned up the Billboard chart to No. 3 within a month of its release, and eventually reached gold status. In October, Bruce Springsteen made the covers of both Time and Newsweek magazines, and his concerts began to attract bigger and increasingly dedicated crowds.
Just as his years of plugging away found him achieving commercial success, Bruce Springsteen realized how little artistic and financial freedom his contract with Mike Appel allowed him. In July 1976, he sued Mike Appel's management company for fraud and breach of contract. Mike Appel counter-sued, bringing the case all the way to the New York Supreme Court. The litigation prevented The Boss from releasing any material for over a year. An out-of-court settlement was finally reached in May 1977.
Meanwhile, British group Manfred Mann's Earth Band took Bruce Springsteen's cover of "Blinded By The Light" from his first album all the way to the top of the U.S. singles chart, and his first two albums from '73 achieved gold status three years after their release.
Darkness on the Edge of Town, released in June 1978, shot up to No. 5 in the U.S. and became his first album to be certified platinum. In the autumn, a tune he wrote was recorded and released by R&B vocal trio The Pointer Sisters; "Fire" reached the No. 2 position on the U.S. pop singles charts in early '79. In September, The Boss and his E Street Band performed at the "No Nukes" series of concerts.
In October 1980, Bruce Springsteen released The River, which stayed at No. 1 for four weeks, and contained the Top 5 hit "Hungry Heart." The double album went on to sell over 3 million copies. Nebraska, recorded on a four-track cassette recorder at Bruce Springsteen's home, was released in September 1982. The stark production, consisting of little more than solo acoustic guitar, harmonica and vocals, made it to No. 3 on the U.S. charts.
bruce springsteen releases born in the u.s.a.Bruce Springsteen returned with his band for what became his career defining album; Born in the U.S.A. was released in June 1984. The album's first single, "Dancing In The Dark," peaked at No. 2, while the LP became The Boss' second chart topper. The album produced 6 additional top 10 singles, and went on to be the second biggest selling album of the year, just behind Prince's Purple Rain soundtrack, which knocked Bruce Springsteen out of the pole position. The Boss returned the favor, as the LP dethroned Prince from his six-month reign at the top in January '85, on the strength of the "Born in the U.S.A." single, which peaked at No. 9 that same month.
"Dancing In The Dark" earned Bruce Springsteen a Grammy for Best Male Rock Performance in 1985. More hits, including "I'm On Fire," "Glory Days" and "My Hometown" kept Bruce Springsteen on the charts into early 1986, as Born in the U.S.A. went on to sell over 15 million copies worldwide. In May of 1986, he married model-actress Julianne Phillips.
Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band Live 1975-85 , a mammoth five-album set, was released in November 1986, and entered the U.S. charts at No. 1, where it remained for seven weeks. The box set sold 3.5 million copies by the end of the year, and included his eighth consecutive U.S. top 10 hit with his cover of "War."
Tunnel of Love became his third No. 1 album upon its release in October 1987. "Brilliant Disguise" reached No. 5, while the title track made No. 9. Bruce Springsteen took top honors in the categories of Best Album, Best Single and Best Songwriter in the 1987 Rolling Stone Critics Poll. In 1988, he released the four-track Chimes of Freedom disc, which coincided with the "Human Rights Now" tour for Amnesty International.
On July 25, 1990, Bruce Springsteen's first son Evan James was born. He and girlfriend/bandmate Patti Scialfa had been together since his divorce from Julianne Philips in 1989. In June 1991, Bruce Springsteen and Patti Scialfa were married at their Beverly Hills home. The couple's second child, daughter Jessica Rae, was born December of that year.
bruce springsteen releases lucky town and human touchBruce Springsteen released two albums on March 31, 1992. Lucky Town entered the Billboard charts at No. 3, while Human Touch made it to No. 2. Backed by a new band consisting of unknown musicians, plus E Street veteran Roy Bittan, The Boss marked his first U.S. live TV appearance on Saturday Night Live in May. He recorded a plugged-in MTV Unplugged session in September.
Bruce Springsteen wrote and recorded "Streets of Philadelphia" for the 1993 film Philadelphia, starring Denzel Washington and Tom Hanks. The theme song of the film went on the win the Golden Globe for Best Song In A Motion Picture, as well as the Oscar and Grammy in the same category, not to mention Grammys in the Song Of The Year, Best Rock Song and Best Male Rock Vocal Performance categories. The song became his most successful single internationally, reaching the top 5 in many European countries. In the meantime, another son, Sam Ryan, was born on January 5, 1994.
The E Street Band was reunited to record together for the first time since 1983, when Bruce Springsteen recorded some new tracks for his Greatest Hits collection, released in February 1995. The album became his fifth U.S. chart topper that March. The Ghost of Tom Joad, a sequel to 1982's solo acoustic Nebraska, was released that autumn, and reached No. 11 in the U.S. Bruce Springsteen embarked upon his first solo tour, accompanying himself with acoustic guitar and harmonica in intimate, small theater venues. In 1996, the album took the Grammy for Best Contemporary Folk Album.
In May 1997, Bruce Springsteen received the Swedish Polar Music Prize from King Karl Gustav in Stockholm. In March 1999, The Boss was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The E Street Band Reunion Tour, comprising 36 shows in 13 countries, rounded out the remainder of 1999.
Bruce Springsteen made a cameo appearance in 2000's High Fidelity, starring John Cusack. In March 2001, Live in New York City was released, and the album debuted at No. 5 in the U.S., No. 9 in the UK, and No. 1 in Italy. Highlights from the 10-night series of shows aired on HBO, and earned The Boss and his band six Emmy nominations.
Ten days after the events of September 11th, Bruce Springsteen opened the broadcast of the America: A Tribute to Heroes telethon benefit with "My City In Ruins," originally written about his New Jersey hometown, with slightly revised lyrics (Bruce Springsteen hails from the county in New Jersey that suffered the greatest amount of lives lost in the tragedy). In October, he played two benefit shows in New Jersey for the families of the victims of the tragedy.
