JoJo Performs 'Disaster' on KTLA [Video]
JoJo stopped by KTLA 5 in Los Angeles yesterday to perform "Disaster," the first single from her upcoming album Jumping Trains. The 20-year-old singer, who recently wrapped her tour with Joe Jonas and Jay Sean, was joined by her band as she delivered the pop-rock tune.
"I wasn't able to do things that other artists were able to do because I was so young," said JoJo, who was 13 when she made her debut. "So now I'm able to go out, explore the world, work really, really hard, and just rock out with my band and tour."

Wishbone Salad DressingIn 1945, Phillip Sollomi opened a restaurant in Kansas City, Missouri. Chicken was his specialty and so he named his restaurant "The Wishbone".
In 1948, Phil asked his mother for the recipe for her spicy salad dressing, which originated from her native Sicily. He went on to create "The Kansas City Wishbone Famous Italian Style Dressing". The name was later shortened to Wishbone Salad Dressing.
Phillip Sollomi sold his business to Lipton in 1957. Lipton still makes the famous salad dressings in Kansas City, Missouri.

Pearl River senior Christa Scognamiglio's teammates sent her out of the locker room before Saturday's home game against Burke Catholic.
Fellow senior Nicole Grossbard needed to fill them in on Head Coach Lorraine Moylan's little secret -- Scognamiglio needed only three points to break the school's career scoring record that day, not 18 as Moylan had been telling everybody.
"Coach Moylan hid that from all of us," Grossbard said. "I got here early and she told me to let the girls know."
"She didn't know before the game," Moylan said of Scognamiglio. "Everybody else knew so they could celebrate and jump on her or whatever."
In fact, it was Scognamiglio's teammates who first said something after she scored the record-breaking layup with 4:39 remaining in the first quarter of a 63-29 victory.
"I think they appreciate her," Moylan said. "They see how hard she works in practice. They are really happy for her."
"I'm so proud of her," said Grossbard, who played with Scognamiglio on the varsity for four seasons before missing this one with a knee injury. "She worked so hard for this."
She had plenty of local support and at least one big fan in California -- Denise McGuire, who held the old record of 1,476 points since 1979.
"That's a really good feeling that this lady who I don't even know in California (is cheering for me," Scognamiglio said. "Thirty years ago, she did something great and now it's my turn to do something great. It's an amazing feeling that her dad came to the game becuase she couldn't be here. I've heard that is a great family, so it's very special."
Scognamiglio is a two-time all-state selection who signed to play to Division I basketball at Fairfield.
According to pearl River sports historian Tom Doherty, McGuire had an impressive resume of her own. She was inducted into the Rockland County Sports Hall of Fame in 1990, was the first girls basketball player in Rockland County to score over 1,000 points in her career. She was named to the Adidas Scholastic Coach Magazine All-America girls basketball team and a 1979 National Prep All-American in 1979.
McGuire was her class Valedictorian and went on to Stanford University on a basketball scholarship. She started at point guard on two NCAA Tournament teams.

Henry a steal for Dolphins
Sophomore forward Kevin Henry of Yonkers posted a career- and game-high five steals as the College of Mount Saint Vincent men's basketball team picked up its third straight win and its fourth in the last five games with a 63-51 road victory over NYU-POLY in Brooklyn.
The Mount Saint Vincent defense, sparked by Henry, had a strong day and forced 30 turnovers leading to a important 36-6 advantage in points off miscues. The Dolphins' bench also continued to play a strong role, scoring 38 points.
Mount Saint Vincent, now 7-11 overall and 5-6 in Skyline Conference play, look to make it four in a row and move to the .500 mark in league play Tuesday night (Jan. 31) when they host Old Westbury (10-8). Tip-off at the Sharp Center in Riverdale is set for 7 p.m.

Victor Abiamiri - #95 - DE
|6' 4"/ 267 lbs.
|Baltimore, MD
|Notre Dame
|Years played
|2007, 2nd round, 25th pick by Eagles
Reports: Sapp gone, Abiamiri hurt at Eagles camp
DE Ricky Sapp reportedly has left Eagles training camp, and DE Victor Abiamiri suffered a torn Achilles tendon.
Eagles trade for OG Wells, place Abiamiri on PUP list
Needing some healthy bodies on the offensive line, the Eagles acquired OG Reggie Wells from Arizona for an undisclosed draft choice. Philly also placed DE Victor Abiamiri on the PUP list and cut 10 players.
Bradford no lock to start right away
According to NFC Whispers, Pat Shurmur says the Rams may bring along rookie QB Sam Bradford gradually, as the Eagles did with Donovan McNabb 11 years ago.
Eagles defensive end Victor Abiamiri could miss the season after tearing his Achilles' tendon during a training camp practice at Lehigh University, the team announced Thursday. Abiamiri got hurt at practice on Tuesday.||||||| Abiamiri, an honorable mention All America at Notre Dame, was taken in the second round of the 2007 draft, but injuries limited him to just 29 games in his first four seasons. He has four regular-season sacks in four years, plus one in the 2008 NFC championship game. Abiamiri missed all of last season with a knee injury that required offseason microfracture surgery.
Abiamiri missed Sunday's game against Dallas with a sprained foot.||||||| "Looks like it's a mild Lisfranc sprain," Eagles coach Andy Reid said. "It'll be a race for Vic to get there." Abiamiri has been making steady progress since missing most of training camp and the first five games with a broken wrist. He has totaled 11 tackles in 10 games this season.
Abiamiri was back at practice Thursday for the first time since having surgery to repair a broken right wrist.||||||| Abiamiri had the pins removed from his arm earlier in the week. It's still unclear when the second-year defensive end will return to game action.
Abiamiri agreed to a four-year contract with the Eagles on Sunday.||||||| Abiamiri, a second-round draft pick, 57th overall, led Notre Dame in sacks (10 1/2) and tackles for a loss (15) last season. In 49 career games, the 6-foot-4, 267-pounder had 128 tackles, 40 tackles for a loss, 20 1/2 sacks, 21 hurries and three forced fumbles.

The Lego Movie official blooper reel is so much fun to watch
I have a confession: I have not watched The Lego Movie yet. I know, I know. I am a terrible human. My childhood self would shake his head so hard. Heck, my adult self is shaking my head at me!

Audio recording is often an afterthought to videographers, but it's just as important to your finished product as the recorded video. Good audio recording takes a little bit of effort, but it's well worth it. Keep these tips in mind for audio recording that is easy to hear and a pleasure to listen to.
1. Use a Quality Microphone
Microphones built in to camcorders are generally low quality. They don't always pick up sound well, and sometimes you'll end up hearing the sound of the camcorder operating.
If possible, use an external microphone whenever you're shooting videos. A lavaliere, or lapel mic, like the type newscasters use, is unobtrusive and especially helpful if you want to hear someone's voice clearly.
2. Monitor the Sound
If you can plug headphones into your camera, do it! They'll allow you to hear exactly what the camera hears, so you'll know if your subject is speaking loudly enough, or if the background noises are too distracting.
3. Limit Background Noises
Background noises can be distracting in a video, and can make for difficult editing. Turn off fans and refrigerators so you don't hear them humming. If there's a window open, close it and shut out the traffic noises.
4. Turn Off the Music
If there's music playing in the background, turn it off. Leaving it on while you're recording will make editing difficult because you can't cut and rearrange clips without hearing the jumps in the music. If you like the music and want it in the video, it's better to add in the recording later on.
5. Record Background Sound
Think about what sounds are distinctive to the event you're recording, and try to capture those on tape. If you're at a carnival, the music of the merry-go-round and the sound of the popcorn popper will really add to the mood of your video and help viewers feel as if they are there with you.
Try to record these sounds clearly, without worrying too much about the video footage. While editing you can move the audio clips around and have them playing underneath different parts of your video.
6. Watch Out For Wind
Recording outdoors on a windy day is difficult because the impact of the wind on the microphone can create loud slapping or popping sounds. You can buy a wind protector for your microphone to cut down on this effect or, in a pinch, slip a fuzzy sock over the mic!
7. Add It Later
Remember, you can always add sound later. If you're recording in a loud area, wait and record narration later when you're in a quieter space. Or you can wait and add sound effects, which are available with many editing programs.

Samford blanks Elon in first round
by Staff Reports
GREENSBORO -- Samford pitchers Shelby Scott and Misha Aldridge combined to limit Elon to five hits en route to a 8-0 game one victory. The Bulldogs will face No.1 seed Appalachian State at 5 p.m. tonight.
Abby Adams went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer for the Bulldogs, while Callie Brister went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer and Alex Adams added a two-run double. Aldridge earned the win for the Bulldogs, throwing four innings of shut out ball with two strikeouts.
Tomeka Watson went 2-for-3 with a walk for the Phoenix, while Chelsea White and Keri Pervell combined to strike out 10 Samford batters.
Samford (15-33, 6-18 SoCon) started the game with consecutive singles by Megan Dowdy and Kayla Shaffer before Alex Adams sent a one-out double down the left-field line to put the Bulldogs in front 2-0.
Samford's Shelby Scott did not allow a hit to the Phoenix (21-31, 8-14) until Elon's Tomeka Watson sent a two-out double to left center in the bottom of the third. After giving up three singles in the first inning, Elon's Chelsea White did not allow another hit to the Bulldogs until Abby Adams sent a three-run blast over the left field fence in the top of the fourth to push Samford's lead to 5-0.
Elon tried to mount a rally in the bottom of the fourth. An error, a hit-by-pitch and a walk loaded the bases with no outs for the Phoenix. However, Aldridge came on in relief of Scott and retired the Phoenix in order to get out of the jam and preserve the Bulldog's 5-0 lead.
Samford added to their lead in the top of the seventh. Caroline Seay struck out but reached on a passed ball, then stole second and scored on a throwing error by Elon's third baseman to extend the Samford lead to 6-0. Two batters later, Callie Brister sent a two-run homer over the fence in right-center to give Samford an 8-0 lead, which would be the final.

Toyota Avalon Engine Questions
mylasttoyota1 Posts: 2Here's an update on what I did...I replaced the VVTi line with the standard part, not the all- metal part because the dealer said the all metal part would not be warranted on the Avalon. Why doesn't the dealer recall it? - because 75% of customers buy the extended warranty through 100K so they are covered until then and the dealer is willing to roll the dice on having to replace the engine. Anyone looking for a great looking, silver 2006 Avalon XLS with a new VTTi line covered through 100K? No dings, dents or scratches. BTW, also fixed on this Avalon were: Steering Column Noise TSB#ST002-06 and ECM Calibration Enhancement to Shifting Performance & Smoothness TSB#EG029-07. Ex.cond. except subject to losing all oil at unpredictable intervals. Make offer:)
Mylast, are you saying that your dealer said the metal line would void the warranty, or just that he would not install it for free under warranty?
Most dealers have taken the position that they will not replace the VVTi line with all metal unless the customer pays for it,( "customer upgrade"). The Avalon warranty stays intact.
If your dealer is saying that the metal line voids the warranty, I would find a new dealer. That establishment is being less than honest.
popsavalon is correct. The Toyota V6 Oil Line Scandal is discussed in the website ToyotaV6OilLineScandal at the following link:
The metal line was originally a Lexus part and can safely be used without voiding the warranty.
Paul3637, thanks for the link information. I think folks that are aware of this problem should work really hard to see that ALL Toyota V6 owners know about the site.
It is really hard to understand all the horror stories being posted about this problem. It seems that almost no one is clean, from dealers all the way to Toyota Corporate.
Hopefully this problem will continue to gain exposure, and Toyota will be forced, maybe by a class action lawsuit, to acknowledge and fix the problem permanently for their customers.
The new web site :http://sites.google.com/site/toyotav6oillinescandal/ should be visited by all 2005-2008 Avalon owners. It has most of the pertinent information related to the major VVTi oil line failures that are being experienced by owners of Toyota V6 2GR-FE engines.
Worst case oil line failure can be sudden and catastrophic, resulting in loss of engine oil and almost certain engine damage if vehicle owners attempt further vehicle operation.
The site also addresses failure responses by dealers and Toyota USA, which have been less that stellar.
Just in case everyone has forgotten, there are still roughly 1.5 million 2GR-FE V-6 engines out there with VVTi oil lines that can rupture with no warning and dump all the engine oil on the ground, or highway. Toyota USA has never officially acknowledged this problem and dealers have been wildly inconsistant in dealing with it.
There is a proven fix for this problem, I'm not so sure we are there yet on the "unintended acceleration" issue..
jrwyatt Posts: 6Would somebody please explain to me how this has been a issue since 2008 with still no fix. I think it is computer related and they have not figured out a fix without having to replace the whole system at $600-800 and have just started to design a new brain to fix the problem they new they have had for several years just like the oil line. They denied it until 2009 and all they did was put a heavier rubber line on instead of the $168.00 fix for the metal line you could buy and have installed.
Thursday my wife filled the tank in our 03 Avalon and within 200 yards the car was dead. The engine turned over fine, just wouldn't fire. Had is towed to a reputable shop, they can start it running by priming it, but it quites and blows lots of smoke. They think there is diesel in the gas. Wife says there is no way she filled it with diesel. Have not heard of any other problems from this gas station.
I'm at a loss. Told the shop to drain the tank and try some known good stuff.
Any ideas?
Here's some free thoughts to get you started... Diesel gas pump nozzles will not fit in gas openings...no diesel is in the tank. To be sure just siphon out a hose full and look at it, smell it or burn some carefully. Also, put some in a glass container and see if it separates. Anything "clear" is probably water.
How do you "prime" a car with fuel injection? If you mean hook it up to an outside fuel feed source, ok... it should run fine if the problem is the fuel in the tank and all else is well... if not, the problem is with the engine or the electronics.
Hope this helps, others may have more ideas.....
By all means SAVE a gas sample when they drain the tank (if in fact, the problem is fuel---it may not be). By saving a sample, you can possibly make the station pay for something.
Diesel fuel stinks, so the garage should be able to spot that in 10 seconds.
I'm thinking this is an electronics problem, just on the face of it.
squeakers Posts: 1My 2003 Avalon has no power sometimes after first taking off. When I back out of my driveway in the morning (after allowing it to warm) I will have the gas pedal pushed to the floor and the car will not have enough power to get out of the driveway. I will then let it coast back in the driveway and turn off everything (heat or ac, radio, lights, etc) and give it a little gas and back out fine. When I turn my heat/ac or anything else on, it loses power again. Once I get on the highway, it will do just fine with everything on...what could be the problem. Thanks for any info!
mikec30 Posts: 1Hey- Have you ever gotten to the bottom of this?
I'm having the same trouble. 1998 Avalon. Runs really rough only hot, intermittently. Starts to happen after a slow down going from high speed to lower speeds. Once it starts it normally keep happening until the car is shut off for 10 - 15 minutes. Sometimes I can take a 200 mile trip with no trouble, then later on it happens randomly on 5 or 30 mile trips. If it happens it always goes away after a 15 minute off period.
Thanks for any feedback.
rlr111 Posts: 1If anyone can provide a copy of the Canadian Limited Service Campaign notice for the VVT-i oil hose problem it would be much appreciated.
I just had to replace my engine after 35,000 miles, because of this issue and Toyota Canada will not stand behind their product claiming that there was no such "Limited Service Campaign".
Many thanks
mashoud Posts: 8As you might know, if you import a vehicle from the U.S. into Canada, you require a letter from Toyota Canada if it is a Toyota stating that there are no outstanding recall repairs against the vehicle. Of course, this becomes one huge issue especially because the dealerships do not want you to import vehicles for less cost from the U.S. and thus create huge obstacles to provide such a letter.
Other high end manufacturers like Mercedes, BMW, Volvo deliberately make life difficult by asking huge sums of money pretending it to be some big deal and safety could be compromised.
In any case, after fighting with them numerous times, I discovered, Dep't of Transport will accept a printout of a cars history which clearly outlines what had been a recall and if it was fixed. What I do now if I am bringing a car from the U.S., I simply ask a dealership in the U.S. if they could give me the printout of the cars history. Toyota has everything on every vehicle and they make a point of checking that regardless of where you are...Mexico, U.S.A., Canada. It is a way for them to justify repairs if the vehicle has changed hands etc..
So, what I am saying is this. Try to go to a Toyota dealership and charm a service manager to print you the history of the car...they have it available online and ask if there were any recalls or any outstanding recalls. You might find the answer you are looking for.
Also, I would Google recalls on your Model Toyota and you might find it there since it is a mandatory issue if it involves safety.
I hope this helps??
Yes. I have copies.... go to this link for copies of both
Within that site are links to copies of both the Canadian version and the US version AND all the newspaper articles and press releases ....... this affected 1.6 million recalled vehicles.
Toyota Canada Recall(s): Shortly after the first Toyota USA campaign letters went out, Toyota Canada sent out a letter to affected vehicle owners dated November, 2009 describing a "customer satisfaction campaign" http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSN019717220100301 " that was almost the polar opposite of the U.S. version as to what vehicles were covered. It covered all affected models and years: 05-09 Avalon, Rav4, Camry, Highlander, & Siennas (but like its USA counterpart not 100% of VIN numbers are covered), It does explain the possibility of engine damage and it does create a sense of urgency telling the recipients that upon receipt of this letter, contact any authorized Toyota dealer and make an appointment - the campaign is a limited time offer. Copies of the letter at http://rav4world.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=20014&postdays=0&postorder=asc&&star- t=405&sid=cddcab9df7b3dff5f107868b6a187506 post # 415 and http://rav4world.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=23527&postdays=0&postorder=asc&&star- t=15 post #17. The letter does not describe the replacement part, but it appears Toyota Canada is using the same cheap fix as Toyota USA http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2981747&posted=1#post2981747 post #97.."So there you have it folks, the great Toyota fix, it's effectively useless long term, worth just enough to pacify the buyers and get you over the warranty period to a point where they have no accountability! Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!!! So glad I did mine and replaced it with the complete steel pipe! best 150 bucks I have ever spent!" Yikes - update December 3: http://rav4world.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=20014&postdays=0&postorder=asc&&star- t=420 post #423 Canadian dealers refusing to install the all metal oil line. Update 2/14/10: Dated February, 2010, Toyota sent out the IDENTICAL recall letter it did last November but to more vehicles so that VIN #'s that were missed in the original mailing are now put on notice.
I have copies of everything you might need if the links don't work. Email me at email@example.com (it's listed in the website).
I am Paul3637 on all toyota forums. I suggest you going toyotanation which has lots of Canadian members, too. Post your problem in the gen6 camry forum.

WILLIAMSPORT -- The second amended complaint filed by the fired Northumberland County chief clerk against the county and a present and former commissioner has been reinstated.
Within hours Tuesday after ordering Kymberly Best's document stricken from the record, U.S. Magistrate Judge Thomas M. Blewitt reinstated it. He had struck it because she filed it without the court's permission or consent of the defense.
Blewitt said he later discovered Best had the consent of the defense to file it. He gave Best 10 days in which to serve it on the county, Commissioner Vinny Clausi and former Commissioner Merle Phillips. They have 10 days to respond.
This is the third complaint Best, who also was an assistant solicitor, has filed in the case that stems from her March 2011 firing.
Chief Judge Yvette Kane last November dismissed Best's original complaint but gave her permission to file an amended one to cure defects. Best did so but Kane in August dismissed the due process, equal pay, conspiracy, wrongful termination and state whistleblower claims.
She wrote at the time it would be futile to allow Best to file another amended complaint. Blewitt noted Best did not seek the court's permission to file a second amended complaint but the defense consenting to it adhered to rules of procedure.

Eric Savitz, Forbes Staff
Covering the intersection of tech and investing.
Caris & Co. analyst David Miller this morning chopped his rating on Netflix shares to Below Average from Average in the wake of the stock's rally on news the company has signed an exclusive steaming deal with Disney. His view is that the deal is "a fantastic one" for Disney, but he sees issues here for Netflix.
Indeed, he cites three core issues for Netflix with the arrangement.
Meanwhile, Miller also says he is trimming his 2013 non-GAAP EPS estimate by 26 cents a share to cover anticipated legal expenses for the company's proxy fight with Carl Icahn. "For investors who believe Mr. Icahn will be successful in coaxing NFLX into a sale to some sort of deep-pocketed competitor, we ask those investors to keep in mind that any acquirer of NFLX would face numerous challenges, including slowing domestic subscriber growth, price pressures from streaming competitors, losses from international expansion, and $5 billion in content obligations over the next 3 years, including $2.1 billion over the next 12 months."
NFLX this morning is down $1.37, or 1.6%, to $82.

Cat Deeley, Zooey Deschanel, Julie Bowen, Nicole Kidman and many other Studio City residents are at the Emmys.
They look marvelous. We'll bring you more pictures.
Colfax Meadows resident, actor Jon Cryer was shocked as he won Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series award for Two and a Half Men which Studio City Mom writer Susan McMartin writes for as well.
Here are local winners—congrats:
— "Modern Family" (with a lot of locals in cast and crew) won Best Comedy Series.
— "Amazing Race" filmed at CBS Radford Studios won Best Reality-Competition
— Supporting Actress, Comedy Series: Julie Bowen, "Modern Family," ABC.
— Actor, Comedy Series: Jon Cryer, "Two and a Half Men," CBS.
It was nice to see former residents like Michael J. Fox, Rita Wilson and others on the red carpet.
Backstage, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Bowen talked about her second consecutive win in the category. She said she would put this one high up where her son can't reach it—he broke her first one in their Studio City house. Also, she said she was sad that co-star Sofia Vergara hasn't won.
"She doesn't get the credit she deserves as an actress," Bowen said. "She is talented and amazing, and there are only a few of us that realize that she just doesn't play herself. .... She deserves one of these [Emmys] too."
Cryer talked about fellow Studio City resident Miley Cyrus coming on the show.
"They gave her pagelong monologues, and all week she was on book with them. … Then we did in front of audience and Miley brought it. … Then I remembered she was hatched in Disney labs in Burbank and grown for just this sitcom situation."
Cryer was nominated seven times and won once in the supporting category, and this was the first time he was submitted in the category, after years of Charlie Sheen dominating the category.
"I'm as shocked as you people, that's all I'm going to say," Cryer told reporters backstage Sunday before the questions even began. "That's why my speech sucked!"

Gary Johnson on Running as the Libertarian Nominee

Libertarian Presidential Nominee Gary Johnson on his third-party campaign for President.
May 7, 2012
Libertarian Presidential Nominee Gary Johnson on his third-party campaign for President.
Garrett Quinn | April 29, 2012
"The chatter surrounding a possible Libertarian vice-presidential candidacy by Judge Jim Gray of California just got an exclamation point on Gray's Facebook page.
"What would you think of Judge Gray running for Vice President?" the Jim Gray page asked on Friday.
The question is approaching 100 Likes and has received overwhelming positive responses.
The Libertarian Party Convention is next week in Las Vegas, and according to organizers Gray has removed himself fromthe list of featured speakers at the convention because party rules limit candidates for national office to speaking during a specific part of the convention.
Sources close to the Gary Johnson campaign have spoken favorably of a potential Gray candidacy.
As of this time it does not appear there are any other candidates running for the VP slot.
Gray, a trial court judge and attorney in Orange County, California since the 1980s, has run for federal office in his home state twice before — once as a Republican for Congress in 1998 and once as a Libertarian for U.S. Senate in 2004. He is an outspoken critic of the War on Drugs.

Congratulations to Ben Howard and Mumford & Sons who triumphed at yesterday's BRIT Awards. Ben Howard won two statuettes for British Male Solo Artist and British Breakthrough Act whilst Mumford & Sons was named Best British Group.
Fresh from their 'Album of the Year' sucess at the Grammys, Marcus Mumford was feeling very patriotic: 'We love being British, and we love going out in the world and telling everyone we're British'. Well Britain, and in fact the world, loves them too! 'Babel' has been their biggest album to date and deservedly so. With its melodic songs and Marcus's impassioned vocals 'Babel' is one of the must-have albums of 2012.
Ben Howard was probably the biggest winner of the night. Whilst he and Emile Sande each won two awards, Ben declared himself happy just to have been invited to the event and seemed gently surprised when he won not one, but two awards. The British Male Solo Artist category fielded a strong line-up including Calvin Harris and Plan B which makes his win all the more impressive. His talent as a singer-songwriter has seen his album 'Every Kingdom' receive rave reviews and win him a legion of fans.
Both 'Babel' and 'Every Kingdom' are available to download in up to Studio Master quality.

Your Health: Sports Physicals
Before any student can take part in athletics they need to be medically cleared by taking a sports physical.
Beartooth NBC's Charlie Misra takes a look at what exactly goes into a sports physical exam.
Doctors do a full body check from head to toe. They have patients provide extensive background information on their health beforehand to ensure the patient is fit to play sports, and to find any glaring concerns that may appear.
Dr. Jonathan Griffin says, "If somebody's had any problems in the past, if they've had a concussion or broken bones. We need to know about a family history, particularly with regard to cardiac issues."
Dr. Griffin says doctors are careful with concussions, especially when youths participate in contact sports like football or rugby. They also pay close attention to heart problems.
Dr. Griffin continues, "Primarily kids around here are healthy enough to participate in most sports. Things that we would be looking for are murmurs with the heart. If there is something that puts them at risk of having a sudden cardiac death, obviously that's something we need to pick up."
Doctors say a sports physical does not diagnose all medical conditions, but it can reveal certain health issues that a person may be struggling with.
St. Peter's Medical Group family physicians are providing youth sports physicals until 7 p.m. tonight. The exams are being given at the North Clinic on Ptarmigan Lane.

I haven't always been good at planning vacations. My husband and I had to cut our honeymoon short because we planned too many activities and ran out of money. That should have been a sign of things to come. Sure enough, a year later we arrived home from our very first vacation as a married couple a day early and with less than a dollar in our pockets. So, you might say I've learned the hard way that a budget has to be one of the most important considerations when planning a vacation.
While travel costs continue to spiral upward it is even more important than ever to plan vacations with your budget in mind. I'm sharing these cost-cutting measures that I've learned over the years in the hope that they help your vacation dollars go farther.
1. Purchase necessities BEFORE you leave and save!It's the little things that add up — little things like sunscreen, toothpaste or even a simple aspirin. If you forget these items, expect to pay a premium for them at your destination, particularly if purchase them at your hotel or resort. A five dollar disposable camera at the neighborhood drug store can cost as much as $18 at a resort.
If you must leave necessities behind because of packing restrictions, make sure you have a list of what you need and stop at a discount store before you get to your destination hotel or resort.
2. RENT a condo or home instead of a hotel room!This is the single most cost effective measure that a family, especially large families, can take when planning a vacation. Renting a home or condo is easy on the budget in many ways. Besides saving on the actual lodging cost, being able to prepare some meals yourself will cut back on the number of expensive restaurant meals you consume.
If you've never rented a home or condo before, don't let the task intimidate you. I've put together an article that answers every question you might have and follows up how to find a vacation rental and what you need to consider before you rent.
>Read Vacation Rental 101
3. Spend the day away from the attractions.
You're paying for that hotel swimming pool... use it! Spend the day at the beach or a nearby museum. The shopping areas near the major attractions (like Downtown Disney) have children's play areas, providing an inexpensive day of fun for the little ones.
>Read Disney World Without the Theme Parks
4. Find an ALTERNATIVE to airport parking.Have friends drop you at the airport or consider a "Park & Fly Package" at a hotel close to the airport. Just one night's stay includes free parking from a few days up to two weeks, depending on the package.
5. Rental CAR TipsWhile renting a car can sometimes save you money over using airport shuttles or save on the wear and tear of your own vehicle, there are also pitfalls that everyone should consider:
- Avoid airport car rentals when possible! Airport surcharges and taxes are often nearly double that of off-site car rentals. It might be cheaper to take a cab to a nearby car rental off airport property.
- While a coupon for a free upgrade might sound like a good deal... beware. These larger models often do not get good gas mileage and will cost you more in fuel costs.
- If you are planning on renting a vehicle for five or more days, check weekly rental rates. You can often save as much as 25-30 percent compared with paying for a five- to seven-day rental on the daily rate.
- Check your insurance coverage before leaving home. Not taking insurance coverage at the counter can save as much as $10 to $15 a day. Many personal insurance policies offer liability coverage or cover rental-car coverage. Also, some credit card providers have a built-in protection for rental car insurance.
- Check whether your hotel or resort charges for parking. You might eat up any savings on airport shuttles if your hotel or resort charges for parking.
6. LIMIT expenditures for limitless fun!Have a small budget, but want BIG family fun? Take it to the limit with these money saving tips! Although they all start with the word limit, they go a long way to ensure limitless fun and enjoyment on a limited budget.
>Read Family Fun on a Small Budget
7. You gotta EAT!Sure, you've got to eat, but you can take a few budget shortcuts here without feeling deprived by trying these tips:
- Stay where breakfast is free.
- If you are driving, pack a cooler with drinks and snacks. Packing sandwiches for lunch at a rest stop gives the kids a chance to run off their pent up energy and can be healthier than fast food.
- Split meals. Children are many times too excited or tired to eat much at a time. Restaurants that are kid friendly are more than happy to accommodate special requests for extra plates.
- Eat lunch in your room. You'll be surprised how good a peanut butter sandwich, chips, and fresh fruit tastes away from home, and everyone gets a needed break from the heat and crowds of tourist destinations.
- Do not use the mini bar in your hotel room!
- Take advantage of coupons, but be sure to read the fine print.
- Order take out and eat that pizza watching a beautiful sunset from your balcony or at the picnic table by the pool. Bring your own drinks for a cost-cutting measure.
- Bring along individual refillable water bottles. These can be refilled at the hotel and at attraction water fountains. A family of four could easily spend $20 or more a day buying water.
8. Take advantage of multi-day passes at the attractions.!
Do your homework and come up with a variety of great deals!
Read Multi-Park Tickets: Are They a Good Deal? and The Fun Card
9. TAME the gimmies!You can tame the "gimmes", and your pocketbook at the same time, by giving children a pre-set spending limit for souvenirs.
Think outside the box to find inexpensive souvenirs. We invested in autograph books (about $6 at most attractions) and watched the fun as our girls collected the "autographs" of their favorite characters. They have become cherished keepsakes.

In an interview with GQ's Sean Fennessy, published on their website earlier this month, Diplo said, "I feel like I'm a snowball." He's working with Radiohead, Beyonce, No Doubt and Shakira, going to anger management classes when he has to and not sleeping a lot. Last year Major Lazer was played in clubs all over the world but never on the radio, except when reworked as "Run The World (Girls)," Beyonce's flopped single. But Diplo considers the last Major Lazer album his most successful project, something that started off not making sense but ended tight, if not profitably. He and Switch are going in for round two to "see how great it can be." The duo reported their progress live from paradise in June. Today, Zane Lowe debuted a track, "Original Don," on his radio show. Produced by Diplo with Partysquad, it's an epic in four movements, featuring fat tubas and plenty of air horn.

3-D Printing: Is It The Future Of Custom Bikes?
By Leif Haven
Golden Beginnings. Downtown San Francisco. December 1992 to December 1993.
Golden ADA's initial capital stake is relatively small -- $1.3 million that the Committee diverts from the famous Krystal diamond factory in Moscow. Kozlenok and the Shagirian brothers use part of that stake to lease an office on the 41st floor of the swanky Transamerica Pyramid in downtown San Francisco. They hire a pricey law firm -- Graham & James LLP -- as corporate counsel. Soon, Yevgeniy M. Bychkov -- head of the Committee and, therefore, king of Russia's gem industry -- is arranging for a $90 million consignment of gold coins and uncut diamonds to be smuggled out of Russia to Golden ADA.
Initially, company documents say, Golden is to "store" the product. But then, contract amendments show, Bychkov secretly transfers ownership of the consignment to Golden ADA. Over the next half-year, Kozlenok and the Shagirians sell those rough diamonds in Europe -- for $10 million. They have the gold coins smelted in Los Angeles, and sell the bullion for $54 million. A corporate bank account is opened at the Bank of America in San Francisco, and, court records show, the suddenly cash-rich partners create a network of offshore bank accounts, ranging from Switzerland to Bermuda (where Kozlenok purchases a villa).
In November 1993, Golden creates a Moscow-based subsidiary, Star of the Urals, JSC (joint stock company). Over several months, Bychkov transfers another $88 million of state-owned rough diamonds to Star of the Urals, which, in turn, ships the diamonds to San Francisco for "polishing." Instead of cutting and polishing the diamonds, however, court records show that Golden ADA sells them on the black market in Antwerp for $77 million. While Golden keeps some of the cash proceeds and some of the diamonds, most of the money is put in privately owned bank accounts in Russia, Switzerland, Finland, England, Ireland, and the Caribbean.
As they liquidate these two apparently illegal shipments of diamonds and gold and create a complex of companies and subsidiaries in both the U.S. and Russia, San Francisco's Golden boys also go on an astonishing shopping spree.
The Shagirians buy $8 million of real estate, including four Shell gas stations, from David's financially troubled brother-in-law, Jerair Panosian. Golden purchases the San Francisco Diamond and Jewelry Mart at 999 Brannan St. for $10.6 million. (It is, according to the former owner's appraisals, worth just $6 million.) The company acquires a fleet of top-of-the-line Lexus autos, three other luxury cars worth over $1 million from Beverly Hills Rolls Royce, including a $336,000 Aston Martin Volante (put in Bychkov's name), several armored vans, and six speedy yachts (for $2.5 million, including a half-million in kickbacks to the associates who picked out the boats). In addition to a $4.2 million mansion on Happy Valley Road in Lafayette, Kozlenok snaps up a Kamov 32C attack helicopter from Russia.
As 1994 dawns, Kozlenok throws an office-warming party. San Francisco's political elite swarms to 999 Brannan to meet Andre Kozlenok. The attack helicopter is landed on the roof during the party; the building is nearly blown apart by the downdraft from the copter's rotors. Sipping Russian vodka and holding onto their wigs, San Francisco's illuminati ooh and aah at fistfuls of diamonds sparkling under bulletproof glass.
Golden ADA is on its way.
Toward disaster.
The Slow-Motion Collapse. Moscow, 1994.
If a date can be set for the start of the wholesale looting of state assets that has paralleled the "reform" of the Russian economy, that date falls in August of 1990, when the Politburo -- Russia's main executive body -- adopted a resolution directing major Communist Party officials to set up holding companies abroad, using state assets. Since then, most every type of movable and valuable thing in Russia has been stolen and sold by government officials and their underworld partners. With as much as $25 billion a year in assets fleeing the ex-Soviet Union, the Golden ADA scam is but a ripple in a sea of smuggling and corruption.
But it is a ripple that moves in many directions.
Starting in 1993, Kozlenok wires at least $22 million of the proceeds from Golden ADA's strange diamond-and-gold-laundering program to Moscow, where associates create a dozen subsidiaries. Soon, Golden owns a bank; an exotic weapons factory; an art dealership; a firm for acquiring and renovating luxury apartments; and a mineral exporting company. Golden-Moscow employs a staff of 100: diamond cutters, security guards, drivers, maids, bartenders, locksmiths, chefs, waiters, blacksmiths, and consultants.
By August of 1994, Golden ADA has turned $178 million in state-owned gold and diamonds into hard, Western currency. On paper, the total value of the gold and gems is to be returned to Russia, minus a processing fee of about 10 percent. In reality, about $25 million in washed cash and gems is ultimately sent back to the Committee, so Bychkov can show some kind of return on what looks like an amazing loss. Also, there are physical assets in California -- the luxury toys, the houses, the gas stations, six magnificent condos at Lake Tahoe, a $20 million Gulfstream IV corporate jetliner, the cars, the boats, and the office tower -- all of which are worth something on the order of $50 million. And Kozlenok has bought a well-known New York City diamond retailer, Rubin & Sons (which subsequently goes broke) and a $1 million chalet in Antwerp.

Four Candidates Still Vie for GOP Nod
Romney rivals find reasons to stay in race.
Another round of primaries is over and yet four candidates still remain in the hunt for the Republican presidential nomination. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney performed solidly on Tuesday, winning more delegates than any of his rivals – former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Texas Rep. Ron Paul. But they each scraped together enough support to justify continuing on.
[See pictures of Super Tuesday voters heading to the polls.]
It's a scenario that could play over and over again, all the way until the Texas primary on May 29, predicts one election observer.
"I think this is a political death march all the way to Texas," says Ron Bonjean, a GOP political consultant in Washington. "I find it highly unlikely that any of these guys are going to hang it up right after Super Tuesday, with the hope that maybe Romney implodes somehow or that they will be able to get enough delegates to negotiate with Romney as the front-runner some sort of place on the convention platform."
William Galston, former policy advisor to President Clinton and senior fellow at the Brookings Institute, says Romney's resources – both in money and campaign infrastructure – have finally set him on the path to victory after months of a chaotic GOP race.
[Why the Big Winner in Ohio May Be Obama.]
"What we're seeing is a slow, inexorable tilt toward the candidate who is better funded, better organized, more capable of running a national campaign and of surviving a blow on any one day and continuing," Galston says. "He is broadly acceptable to three quarters of the Republican Party, even though there's a distinctive lack of enthusiasm. The outcome is inevitable. The only question is how long it takes."
It's not coincidental, Galston points out, that several top Republicans recently announced their support for Romney.
"It's clear that what's left of the leadership of the Republican Party wants this to begin to end," he says. "That's the only way for me to interpret what [House Majority Leader] Eric Cantor did and Sen. Tom Coburn, who is nobody's idea of a squishy moderate, did in endorsing Romney. They can read the numbers as well as anybody else and they know that this process has not been useful to the party or to its presumptive nominee. So the sooner they can bring it to an end the better."
But the process will not be easy, as Tuesday's 10 diverse primaries failed to deliver a knock-out blow to any of the candidates.
[Check out U.S. News Weekly: an insider's guide to politics and policy.]
Paul, a strong libertarian who doesn't fit comfortably in the Republican orthodoxy, will continue to campaign on a shoestring and enjoy grassroots support for as long as possible to keep his voice heard, Galston says.
And because Gingrich set the expectation of winning Georgia and no other states, he'll feel emboldened to keep campaigning based on meeting that lower expectation, Bonjean says.
Both Bonjean and Galston agree that it's likely Gingrich will stubbornly remain in the field until his generous benefactor, Las Vegas casino owner Sheldon Adelson, decides to stop putting millions into the group spending money supporting Gingrich's candidacy.
Finally, there's Santorum, who was the least funded, lowest polling candidate in the race until his surprise win in the Iowa caucus.
"Santorum never expected he would get this far so it seems inconceivable that he would step aside. He has set a thematic of David vs. Goliath," Bonjean says.
[Oklahoma Considered 'The Reddest of the Red'.]
Galston imagines a scenario where top Republicans gently try and convince Santorum, who is just 53, to be proud of what he's accomplished and step aside for the good of the party for now.
"I can imagine a sobered Santorum looking at reality and deciding that he's had his shot but he's up against a superior force like General Lee against General Grant and that he understands if he keeps going he will just be ground and ground down until finally there's nothing left of him," Galston says.

IRS FIRPTA Tax
The disposition of a U.S. real property interest by a foreign person (the transferor) is subject to the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980 (FIRPTA) income tax withholding. FIRPTA authorized the United States to tax foreign persons on dispositions of U.S. real property interests. A U.S. real property interest includes sales of interests in parcels of real property as well as sales of shares in certain U.S. corporations that are considered U.S. real property holding corporations.
Persons purchasing U.S. real property interests (transferee) from foreign persons, certain purchasers' agents, and settlement officers are required to withhold 10 percent of the amount realized (special rules for foreign corporations) Withholding is intended to ensure U.S. taxation of gains realized on disposition of such interests. The transferee/buyer is the withholding agent. If you are the transferee/buyer you must find out if the transferor is a foreign person. If the transferor is a foreign person and you fail to withhold, you may be held liable for the tax.
The amount that must be withheld from the disposition of a U.S. real property interest can be adjusted pursuant to a withholding certificate issued by the IRS.
- A disposition includes the sale/purchase of any U.S. real property interests.
- Generally speaking, in reference to the sale/purchase of real estate, the person selling the real estate, the seller, is commonly referred to as the transferor.
- The purchaser/buyer of the real estate is commonly referred to as the transferee.
- Generally speaking the amount realized is the purchase/sales price of the real estate.
- Generally speaking the buyer must find out if the seller is a foreign person. If so, the purchaser/buyer must withhold income taxes.
- The purchaser/buyer may be held liable for the tax that should have been withheld on the purchase.
One of the most common exceptions to FIRPTA withholding is that the transferee (purchaser/buyer) is not required to withhold tax in a situation in which the purchaser/buyer purchases real estate for use as his home and the purchase price is not more than $300,000.
- Exceptions from FIRPTA withholding
- Reporting and Paying Tax on U.S. Real Property Interests
- Withholding Certificates
- Format for Applications
- Road Map to Regulations
- Definitions of terms and procedures unique to FIRPTA
- Foreign Persons Involved in U.S. Real Estate Transactions
For additional information on the withholding rules that apply to corporations, trusts, estates, and REITs, refer to section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code and the related regulations. For additional information on the withholding rules that apply to partnerships, refer to discussion under partnership withholding. Also consult IRS Publication 515, Withholding of Tax on Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Entities, section U.S. Real Property Interest.

Update 7:33 p.m.
The latest CL&P figures put Cheshire at 189 customers without power.
That's about 1 percent of the town. Like other areas in the center of the state, Cheshire was spared the brunt of most of Hurricane Sandy's destruction, however at one point there were over 500 customers without power.
CL&P officials said restoration efforts are fully underway in Connecticut although they have declined to give a timetable as to when power may come back on for certain communities.
Also, Patch checked with officials in both the police and fire departments and there has been no official word from town officials discouraging residents from trick-or-treating tonight. So it sounds like Halloween is still on in Cheshire.
Original Story
According to CL&P, 544 Cheshire customers were still without power as of 1 p.m. A CL&P senior vice president, William Quinlan, said the company is doing damage assessing and couldn't estimate when full power will be restored, according to Patch.
Meanwhile, Tony Ginnetti of 7 Eastgate Drive lost part of his backyard fence during the storm.
"Everything else is fine," said Ginnetti. The fence is 14 years old, he added.
"Just couldn't take the [wind] gusts," Ginnetti said.
Government response
Town offices and facilities opened at noon.
The emergency shelter at the Parks and Recreation Youth Center closed this morning. According to Town Manager Michael Milone's office, three people utilized the shelter. It opened at noon on Monday.
There will be no trash collection today.
"Collection for Tuesday will be made on Wednesday, and the remainder of the week will be delayed by one day," states the Cheshire town website.

Marlboro students entered their first day of school in 2013 yesterday and were greeted by township police officers, as promised. Some parents and students were also greeted by New York reporters.
Marlboro Township has become the topic of discussion in the media after announcing the decision to place armed officers in each school come 2013.
"The order has been given to keep all media off campus," Mayor Jon Hornik said. "[The media] has completely overreacted, I quite frankly don't understand the news coverage. We have always had school resource officers."
Hornik has been seen on several news programs, including a street interview on NBC and in a roundtable discussion on MSNBC in recent days.
The new school security decision came to fruition in the wake of the Newtown, CT school shooting which claimed the lives of 20 children and six adults on Dec. 14.
"We were the first to take active measures," Hornik said. "This was the only immediate step we could take."
Hornik said that while he and other township officials have openly answered media questions, in no way is anyone in Marlboro actively seeking media coverage on the issue.
The township already has digital security measures in place, including a Visitor Management System which scans drivers licenses of any school visitors and checks names against local, state and national databases.
The Board of Education announced on Wednesday that , to be paid for through the district's general fund.
Marlboro High School has always had a school resource officer, but township elementary and middle schools now have permanent officers, at least until February. At that time, the Board of Education and Police Department will assess any changes necessary for school security.
The announcement of the new plan came less than one day before National Rifle Association head Wayne LaPierre announced his similar ideas for school safety.
And while township and board officials are standing strong with their decision, Hornik said he didn't expect the township's announcement to become national news.
Hornik said, "I don't understand why the media has focused in on our policy change."

Macbook Pro Retina: 13 inch vs 15 inch
Hello all, I am thinking about replacing my old iMac with a new Macbook Pro. The only problem is that I am having trouble deciding on which one to get. I will be using the computer for normal every day use (internet, MS office, music, etc.) but also plan to run logic pro and various other games. I am alo looking at getting it with a 512 gb hard drive due to size of my music/movie collection. My question is whether not not the 13 inch will be able to run games like the new Sim City (launching this Spring), Civilization V, Bioshock, etc. Or should I simply go with the 15 inch model just to be safe. The other cool thing is that the local apple store in my city is currently offering a "last gen" macbook pro with a 2.6 ghz quad core i7, 8 gb ram, 512 gb hard drive for $2,299. However, I am not sure if the extra money is worth it in my case. I just wanted to see what the ole forum community suggested. Thanks so much
