The 2012 WORCS ATV season wrapped up this weekend in Taft, CA as racers battled for one last chance at class points at Honolulu Hills. GBC Motorsports congratulates Kayla Smith, of Valley Center, CA for her outstanding racing efforts in the WORCS ATV series.

I have to second this. On price alone, none can compare to ESPN when you get one of the $4 a year magazine deals. There seems to be enough free info out there on the other sites in terms of searching for rankings and recruits that I don't see a reason to do more than the cheap ESPN. And I just want to say that 247 is killing it with cool features. I like scouts tracking of recent commits, but now 247 does that with a better format. The composite rankings are nice, instead of censoring the name of your competition like Scout does. And the crystal ball feature is pretty cool too. Plus they seem to update rankings more and the player leanings with the warmer, warm, cool interest ratings. Fortunately, all of the above is free so I find myself using their site the most. |

I was never really a basketball fan until I started following this team at the beginning of the season. I learned a ton about the sport and enjoyed watching the way this team played and the flow of the game. Once the season was over and with no football to watch I figured I'd check out some fo the NBA playoffs. I hated it. The game seemed to be disjointed and had no flow. It was bring ball up, one guy dribbles for a bit and then chucks up a shot. It lacked the energy I was accustomed to seeing Michigan play with. No one was getting offensive rebounds because everyone was running back to play defense and there were 3 defenders around the ball. There didn't seem to be many plays run and even with the faster shot clock the game actually felt slow. I tried watching a few other times and then just gave up. |
1 week 2 days ago | Why can't Brandon make a deal |
Why can't Brandon make a deal with IU and have them flip their UM/MSU games while Michigan and MSU flip their games? It probably should have been that way in the first place, but maybe the ADs can work something out. It should work out better for MSU as well because as it is they have ND and Michigan both home/away the same year. Only reason I coudl see MSU against it is because their one goal in life is the mess up Michigan's schedule and feel like they got one over on Michigan by getting 2 home games in a row. Edit: And maybe Brandon likes it because in odd years he can jack up prices more than usual due to the slate of games at home. |
1 week 2 days ago | Will be hard to pull that off |
Will be hard to pull that off now with divisions and making sure every team has 4 home and 4 away games. |
1 week 2 days ago | Brandon should reach out to |
Brandon should reach out to IU and pay them to switch the locations of their MSU/UM games around so that UM/MSU can do the same. I think it would work better for both teams. Right now MSu gets ND, OSU and Michigan on the road all in the same year. Their fans probably won't care though because just messing with MIchigan by getting 2 home games in a row is like Christmas to them. |
1 week 2 days ago | Would be better for MSU to |
Would be better for MSU to switch the Michigan game too, they get OSU as home in the same year as MIchigan at home. Looks like the basis for the set up was that OSU, Michigan, and PSU each play one home and one away game against the other two. Can't say I blame that methodology but Michigan's schedule got screwed. |
1 week 2 days ago | Aren't we playing at ND that |
Aren't we playing at ND that year as well? Is there any reason to buy season tickets in 2014 then? So you can watch IU, PSU, MD and MINN, and then Miami, Utah, and App State? Really need to flip the MSU game as both rivalry games will be either home or away each year. |

I'm not putting them at the same level. But if they are recruiting well at MSU's level then that's another tier of recruits that MSU loses out on, may actually hurt them even more than the other 3 recruiting well. |
1 week 3 days ago | Very interesting the way OSU |
Very interesting the way OSU has all local kids so far while almost half of Michigan's commits are from outside the B1G footprint. I'm sure OSU will get their national commits, but maybe Meyer shifted his strategy to focus a bit more locally. And it seems that Fitzgerald got Meyer's message to step up his recruiting game. If OSU, ND, UM, and NU are all recruiting at a high level, it's going to be really tough for MSU to capitalize on their recent success and get top players from the area. |

Doesn't necessarily surprise me considering the early playing time you can offer along with the fact that by the time these kids get to campus there will only be 2 years left of bowl ban so they can still go to a couple of bowls. Now if they start to suck this year and next it could be a rough road, but there will always be Pennsylvania kids who want to go to PSU to make up at least part of the class. |

2 weeks 1 day ago | From everything the coaches |
From everything the coaches have said, the difference between backup and starter among the front 7 may be only where they are listed on the depth chart. Hoke and Mattison have said they want to rotate heavily to the point where the players on the 2 deep get close to equal carries. That's the reason a player like Pipkins is the backup NT rather than the starting 3 tech. |

We are back from the lake, and we had a great time yet again. It was nice to lounge around even though it was 150 degrees outside.
Our first day there, I watched The Chew with my mom. She absolutely loves the show. If anyone knows anyone who could get me some tickets, I would totally make you a Lean Cuisine.
Anywhoo, we were watching the show and Mario Batali made the most awesome sandwiches with a mayonnaise and basal pesto spread. My mom gets up, walks to the kitchen, and viola! The picture above was the sandwich spread via Chef Karen.
The next morning the girls and I walked down to the lake to explore and take some pictures.
When it is 150 degrees outside, I highly recommend lying out in the sun in a chair out in the middle of the lake.
My parents have not scene any substantial rain since the end of May, so the lake has receded. This makes for more shore for exploring. This is a crazy stump that has been under water for who knows how long. It is like an underwater longhorn.
The neighbors have chickens, so the girls and I would walk over there a couple times a day. Chickens are fun to watch. They have finally started to lay some eggs.
We watched a ton of Olympics, read, swam, and ate some yummy food.
I will be sad when the day comes and my parents sell the place.

Man admits role in foiled murder plot
EAST ST. LOUIS (AP) – A former barge worker has admitted his role in a foiled plot to abduct, extort and electrocute a wealthy man in a scheme investigators say borrowed elements from a television show and sought to blame the killing on the intended victim's cat.
Brett Nash, 46, of Pontoon Beach, pleaded guilty Tuesday in U.S. District Court to a felony count of solicitation of a violent crime. Four other counts, including two murder-for-hire charges, are to be dropped. Nash faces up to 20 years in prison and as much as a $125,000 fines.
Nash was arrested in January, after federal investigators say a conscientious paroled killer helped thwart the alleged plot against a former corporate attorney who long had pursued a sexual relationship with Nash's wife.

Winners announced!
The winners of the 2013 GE Awards have now been unveiled! The awards, hosted by Hal Cruttenden, were presented at the prestigious Grosvenor House Hotel, on London's Park Lane. With an audience of over 450 leaders in geotechnical engineering consultancy and contracting, these awards brought together the key players in the industry alongside the ones to watch. Claire Symes, editor of GE magazine commented: "The high number and quality of entries this year underlines the fact that UK geotechnical professionals are at the forefront of some of the country's leading infrastructure developments and we are here today to celebrate that success. Although it is too early to see the results of the geotechnical work on projects such as Crossrail, the second Forth Road Crossing, the Mersey Gateway and Thames Tideway in this year's shortlist, these projects are helping to give the UK geotechnics industry a much needed boost. However, I am aware that the market improvements seen so far are very much centred on London and the regions have yet to see significant improvement. The situation is still very tough in some areas. Nonetheless, this year's GE Awards finalists and winners have each demonstrated that investment in excellence does still reap rewards both in the short and long term for their business and their clients businesses." Congratulations once again to this year's winners and finalists, who are demonstrating that they are leading the way in the industry. Register your interest for the 2014 GE Awards here and, who knows, next year it could you walking away with a trophy! The GE Awards team |

The search for the official FA Cup anthem steps up a gear this weekend as grime artist Devlin performs live at Stoke City's Fourth Round tie with Manchester City.
MOBO-award-winning rapper Lethal Bizzle – cousin of Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong – had his chance to shine when he boomed out his track 'Not A Saint' ahead of the Third Round tie between West Ham United and Manchester United at Upton Park.
Now it's Devlin's turn to put his song in the frame at the Britannia Stadium at lunchtime on Saturday.
"The FA Cup is always the competition you get excited about it, and I think half the country stops what they're doing when the draw is being made," said the Dagenham rapper.
"I'm buzzing to be a part of it and can't wait for the game."
A six-strong shortlist of some of the UK's biggest music acts are battling it out to produce the soundtrack to the world's oldest domestic football competition, with the winner to be chosen by the British public ahead of The FA Cup Final.
The winning tune will welcome the players as they step on to the Wembley turf for The Final on 11 May 2013.
Fans will be able to vote for their favourite here on TheFA.com during the build-up to The Final.

text: The combination that wins championships tends to be an elite SG/SF and an elite PF/C. PG play needs to be good not great. It's easier for defenses to disrupt an offense when the best player runs the point, the simple act of having the ball all the time gives them more opportunities.

She gasped.
Both of them craved for a touch.
He looked at her. He could see the longing in her eyes.
It was hard for both of them to fight the sweet desire that had overwhelmed them now.
Before she could blink, he lunged ahead… and grabbed the last piece of the cake.

Andrew Stewart (1950–1959)
Andrew Stewart was born in Scotland in 1904. He joined the University of Alberta staff in 1935 when he became a professor in the Department of Political Economy. He later became Director of the School of Commerce and, in 1949, was Dean of Business Affairs.
He was President of the University of Alberta from 1950 to 1959, a period of rapid growth and expansion. Stewart continued to follow the building plan laid out by his predecessor, Dr Robert Newton. During Stewart's term as President, numerous buildings were built at the University of Alberta, including the Administration Building. As President, Stewart created the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research and strongly supported the development of Studio Theatre. He also supported the hiring of many new staff members, both academic and non-academic, and he increased salaries so that staff would be motivated to remain at the University of Alberta.
In 1959, Stewart went to Ottawa where he served for ten years as Chair of the Board of Broadcast Governors, the forerunner to the Canadian Radio Television and Telecommunications Commission. He later returned to Alberta to chair Alberta's Universities Commissions. During the 1970s, Dr Stewart was active in establishing the University of Ibadan in Nigeria.
Dr Stewart was a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and received five honorary degrees. He passed away July 14, 1990 in Victoria, British Columbia. The Andrew Stewart Memorial Graduate Prize, offered by the University of Alberta, is named in his honour.

FDA Social Media Comments
I am excited about the launch of HealthCentral's new blog. We will be covering a wide range of issues and are hoping to engage all those involved in online health in a serious and insightful discussion of the trends shaping our industry. I am HealthCentral's General Counsel and will be blogging regularly here on legal and regulatory topics relating to online health and believe me there is a lot to talk about.
The major regulatory issue facing online health today is the anticipated FDA guidance relating to online pharma direct-to-consumer (DTC) advertising and social media. If you are reading this blog you are likely already familiar with the recent FDA Hearings on Social Media and Internet Promotion that the FDA held last November. The hearings generated a great deal of interest throughout the industry and included presentations from pharma and medical device companies, doctors, online health websites (including HealthCentral CEO – Chris Schroeder), search engines and patient advocacy groups.
The hearings were generally welcomed by one and all as an overdue acknowledgement by the FDA that the Internet and social media have become critical sources of consumer health information and present issues not addressed by the FDA's existing regulations and guidance that speak to print and broadcast DTC advertising.
In the aftermath of the FDA hearings, I have been struck by how few of the interested parties have yet submitted written comments to the FDA. While the presentations at the hearings raised a lot of important issues, the time constraints prevented the speakers from getting into the details. Any guidance issued by the FDA will be shaped by its understanding of the Internet, social media, and the underlying technologies – which is not its core competency. That is why it is so important for advertisers and online health companies to weigh in now before policy decisions get made.
To be fair, the deadline for written comments is not until February 28th, 2010 and it may be that many others are still finalizing their comments. We have recently conducted survey research of our users on these issues and incorporated the results into our comments, which we will post on our site here. I strongly encourage everyone interested in online health to consider the questions posed by the FDA at the hearings (see here) and submit relevant data and insights to the FDA before Feb. 28th.

Big Brother USA premieres with solid ratings for CBS
Published Jul 13 2012, 18:30 BST | By Paul Millar
The reality show's 2012 launch attracted 7.1m and a demo rating of 2.6 in the 9pm hour, marginally down on last year's premiere.
Big Brother comfortably won its slot, as ABC's Wipeout followed up with 5.6m (1.7).

Rookie Blue edged into first place at 10pm with 4.8m (1.3) for ABC, pipping Brian Williams, who entertained 5.2m (1.2) with Rock Centre on NBC.
A repeat of Person of Interest had 5.6m (1.2) for CBS, while old editions of The Big Bang Theory had 8m (2.3) and 9m (2.8) in the 8pm hour to ensure the Tiffany Network won the night with 18-49 adults and total viewers.

Beckham to re-sign with LA Galaxy
- Posted: 5:11 PM, January 18, 2012
Beckham, who turns 37 in May, will confirm Thursday he has reached a deal to stay in the US, according to Sky Sports. Details of the new agreement have not been released. The move has been widely expected for the past few weeks after Beckham turned down a lucrative offer from French club Paris Saint-Germain because he did not want to relocate his family from Los Angeles.
The former England captain led the Galaxy to the 2011 MLS Cup in the final year of his previous contract and was named the league's Comeback Player of the Year. Beckham moved to the MLS on a record five-year, $32.5 million deal in 2007.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the Galaxy will allow Beckham to leave the team during the Summer Olympics if he is selected to represent Great Britain. The former Manchester United and Real Madrid star was also linked to English Premier League contender Tottenham, after manager Harry Redknapp invited him to train with the team.

In May we headed out with photographer John 'Prolly' Watson to see what we could of the Amgen Tour of California…
I had envisioned gravel of the small blue metal variety with a firm sandy base but the section before the Cunningham highway was rough. Golf ball sized rocks littered the road and one of these was enough to provide us our first puncture of the day.
After her piece 'Professional Advice' advising riders ahead of the Rapha Women's 100, we were delighted to hear that Julie Krasniak rode out with the Rapha Women's team at recent Women's Prestige in San Francisco.
To mark the launch of the Rapha & Raeburn collection, we take a closer look at the work of designers Graeme and Christopher Raeburn. In an exclusive short film and photostory, the brothers discuss their influences and pay a visit to the historic Manchester factory where the Wind Jacket is made.
In 2013 Rapha will be recreating this great race as the Bordeaux-Paris 2013 Challenge, a team cycling event run over the famous Bordeaux-Paris route and, crucially, ridden through the night. The aim of the ride is to raise £250,000 for Ambitious about Autism.
If you have purchased a jersey this year and lost weight through riding, Rapha would like to offer you a 50% discount on your new size jersey.
In this exclusive short film, Rapha founder and CEO Simon Mottram talks to Sir Paul Smith about the celebrated designer's love of cycling.
The 1910 Challenge ride honours Lapize and his contemporaries, as well as Steines and Desgrange, giving four amateur riders the opportunity to cycle the same route as the leg-shattering stage 100 years ago.
The Col du Galibier was first scaled by cyclists at the Tour de France in 1911. Henri Desgrange, the Father of the Tour, heralded it as a great victory for mankind to defy the laws of gravity and climb this giant.
A film by Nick Livesey with Ridley Scott Associates for Rapha
"The only way to define Museeuw's true 'North' was to meet him in the ancient forest. From there the trajectory of the back story was formed, and thus began the filming process."
After more than six months of arduous training and qualifying rides, four Rapha riders headed to Paris in August 2011 to participate in Paris-Brest-Paris. The oldest and certainly one of the longest road races still in existence, the 1,200km plus journey is not for the faint of heart, head or legs. Here are their accounts.

Fat Transfer to Breasts? - Help!
Hi there. I'm a young woman, and i grew up with large breasts on a petite frame (i was always a healthy weight). I underwent 2 breast reductions. The second went quiet too small (an AA cup). Im told that everything works and i can breast feed in the future. My concern is that now they are too small and i'd like to go up one cup size at most. Just to plump up the wrinkly ugly areas. I really don't want implants. Would this be a good idea for me? And if so, permanent?
Fat transfer can correct deformities after breast reduction.

Apple plants flag on wireless power-supply map
Near field charging works well enough for keyboards and mice
Apple has fenced off its own little patch of the wireless charging space, with a patent covering the use of "near field magnetic resonance" (NFMR) to wake up low-power peripherals like keyboards and mice.
Apple's contribution to the art is disclosed in "Wireless power utilization in a local computing environment" here.
Far from being a Great Leap Forward© to a world where tablets and phones will be free from their wall warts, the application makes it clear Cupertino knows the limitations of over-the-air power. The claims of this particular patent envisage just keyboard and mouse, with the possibly-nifty but inefficient idea that if the keyboard is getting more power than it needs, it could retransmit power to the mouse – or vice versa. You can discern a little of the intent in the illustration, drawn from the patent application, below at right.
And there's always the question of "how do we control the market so that the peripherals carry our name?", which seems to be answered in this passage from the patent:
"a plurality of peripheral devices each having a tunable resonance circuit suitably adapted to receive power wirelessly from the NFMR power supply, wherein when at least one of the plurality of devices is within range of the NFMR power supply, the device tunes the resonance circuit to at least one of the resonance frequencies of the NFMR power supply and subsequently de-tunes the resonance circuit to provide a device identification to the NFMR power supply using a change in a resonance circuit load factor."
In other words: the charging unit will only work with identified devices. ®
the charging unit will only work with identified devices
Technically, I understand their desire to make money, but I want to scream at the fact that, in this day and age, one would purposefully design a system to be incompatible. I may be wrong, but it seems that Apple is particularly prone to do this, like when they expressly stopped Palm devices to connect to iTunes.
Why not just use QI or contribute new ideas instead of more proprietary bollocks?
Qi has a small range, and requires the device to be placed on top of a mat in the correct way, whereas this proposed system has a range of around a meter, and allows devices to signal when they no longer require power, so that a another device can then be charged, according to a priority system.
If you had read the linked source, you wouldn't have needed to ask.
Re: the charging unit will only work with identified devices
The worse thing is when the industry goes along with them - it frustrates me that so many audio devices cater only for ipods or the minority of Apple phone users. What if like most people I want to plug in an Android smartphone, or I just Think Different and use something like my Sansa? (I'm amused that my LG smart TV actually makes a better audio player than most dedicated audio equipment, because it uses open standards like USB or network playing - plug in or stream from any kind of device.)
Of course they've been hoisted by their own petard, now that the iphone 5 is incompatible with this apple-only system, messing the whole system up - if only they'd used open standards...
Isn't this how RFID works anyway?
The RFID tag takes power from the reader, and can send data back to the reader by load modulation (briefly taking more power to signal).

The Piltdown Man Caper (and Five Other Archeological Hoaxes)
It has been a century since one of the most publicized scientific hoaxes was presented to the world, and only sixty years since the find was exposed as a fraud. Here to talk about the centennial anniversary of the discovery of Piltdown Man is Robert Goodby. He's an archeologist and Associate Professor at Franklin Pierce University.
Piltdown Man isn't the only example of con artists taking on this captivatingly unique (yet seemingly challenging) form of fraudulence and deception. Check out this hilarious list of "Five Archeological Frauds (That Fooled the World)" courtesy of Cracked.

Miley Cyrus On Exercise Kick Because She Was Told She Was Too Fat
For the past two months, Miley Cyrus has been working out for 4-6 hours a day everyday. Apparently when she was filming her most recent movie, more than once she heard people talking that on film she looked really overweight and that she was going to look really bad on screen. So, she took it personally and has been working out four to six hours everyday and has dropped 20 pounds off an already thin frame. She thinks she still needs to lose more weight and has been barely eating but instead has been living off the Hollywood diet of chain smoking and some sushi once or twice a week.

Mark Webber is set to lap Sydney Motorsport Park in his Red Bull F1 car for the Top Gear Festival Sydney
- November 01, 2012
A modern Formula 1 car is set to soar around Sydney Motorsport Park for the first time at next year's Top Gear Festival Sydney.
It's not just any F1 car, either: it's Mark Webber at the wheel of one of Red Bull Racing's rockets.
The event fits perfectly into the teams plans for the 2013 season, the March 9-10 date falling just a week before the opening race of the F1 season at Albert Park in Melbourne.
"Obviously it's a pleasure to be part of the Top Gear Festival in Sydney and give Aussie motorsport fans another chance to see top motorsport cars in action," Webber said.
"I'm really looking forward to being in front of my home crowd, especially just before the Australian GP.
"It'll be a great way to start the 2013 F1 season."
The event will be hosted by Top Gear presenters Jeremy Clarkson, James May and mystery racing driver The Stig.
"Sydney is the perfect place to hold our massive outdoor track festival," Clarkson said.
"Plus it'll give us whinging poms many more chances to get sunburnt and attacked by spiders."
Along with Webber's laps in the Red Bull F1 car, people will also see precision driving and stunts in the Stunts & Jumps zone; the world's most expensive and powerful cars in Stig's Supercar Garage; the 'Star in the Reasonably Priced Car' challenge; 4x4 and trial bike riders showcasing their skills on the brutal Off-Road Challenge, and much more.
Tickets go on sale through Ticketek from Monday 12 November.
Follow the action. Like Fox Sports.

Will Parko om Queanbean attend ?
OneEyePie of Brisbane says November 01, 2012 at 1:59 PM
Parko lives in QBN he is probably down at the RSL hitting on Nanna's and spending his dole check on pokies at the moment! I would say he can't afford the 200km bus or train fair to get up there.
move on says November 01, 2012 at 2:00 PM
Next on the agenda is to move the Australian F1 Grand Prix and back to Adelaide or give Sydney a chance - a F1 race circuit that could possibly go across the Sydney Harbour Bridge or Sydney Tunnel would look awesome.
Mjolnir of Jerra says November 01, 2012 at 2:58 PM
Nah they already have a perfectly decent track on the GC. The V8s in Sydney are horrible, so i'd hate to watch a F1 race there, you'd literally see nothing with the cars so low to the ground.
Brabham of GC says November 01, 2012 at 3:31 PM
What about the Gold Coast? racing alongside Australia's iconic Surfers Paradise. They Got rid of Indy, replace it with F1. I can't imagine a better place. F the Commonwealth games, we want F1.
Adelaide Alive of Adelaide says November 01, 2012 at 4:35 PM
A night race at Adelaide- where F1 belongs, and at the end of the season. Just need someone to foot the bill.....
Brabham of GC says November 01, 2012 at 4:57 PM
@Adelaide Alive of Adelaide. And put all the drivers to sleep with those boring views of Adelaide. If we are going to show case Australia to the world, do you really think Adelaide is the city to show them? They took it off you for a reason...
James of Somewhere says November 01, 2012 at 5:44 PM
Hahah. Taking Formula One to the GC would be an absolutely horrible idea. We want circuits that will test the drivers, some of the best and most challenging circuits around. The GC track is so bland and too simplistic. Some straights and chicanes.. we've already got Monza.
Tank of Sydney says November 02, 2012 at 12:44 PM
@James of Somewhere - actually the GC track is challenging: Neel Jani used to test for Red Bull and drove Monaco in practice, later driving Surfers in Indycar. He said that the Gold Coast track was a bigger challenge, and you can see high as the Vmax is much higher. Shame they'll never race there, they would need the track widened by about another 5m minimum - there would be no space.
Potsy Fanatic of Sydney Australia says November 14, 2012 at 3:59 PMDid you want to make a comment? Use our form below
I've been to them all (Adel, Melb, GC, Homebush), live in Sydney and still say Adelaide was the best place for Formula 1. The Drivers loved it, the Spectators loved it, the Sponsors loved it, but the weather was unfair. A night Race in Adelaide would keep the Euro TV viewers happy, as well as ESPN or SPEED. Put up the lights and let's go racing I say!!!

Voters in Saline County have twice turned away
tax proposals for funding a new jail. County officials will try to

Although they set the date for the election, quorum court

Voters rejected a temporary half-percent tax to fund a new jail

More than 2000 people from the Metro area will kick off their holiday weekend in Potomac, Maryland, tomorrow, and it's all for a good cause.
One in every 110 American children have been diagnosed with some form of Autism.
For the past nine years the National Capital Area chapter of Autism Speaks has hosted a 5K Run to fund research for a cure.
Event Director Susan Perles says they've raised more than one hundred seventy five million dollars in the past decade.
"It's very very heartwarming to see not only families with children affected, but to see neighbors and friends come out and we have Congressman Van Hollen joining us and its wonderful just to see people kicking off their holiday in such a great way," she says.
Perles adds that the event has become a real community tradition.
The Autism Speaks 10th annual 5K Run kicks off at the Potomac Library tomorrrow morning at eight.

Do invest in a couple of those hands-free "headlamps" on the elastic cords, though (for as little as $4 or $5 each at Harbor Freight, I learned).
I hit upon those only after I spent a "powerless" evening sitting alongside my high school student and swinging a hand-held flashlight back and forth between the textbook he was trying to read and the essay he was trying to write by hand.
Until I sat down to help him, the kid was having great difficulty working one-handed and also trying to find his place again as he swung that narrow beam of light around.
Now, *that* was a long evening!

7:00 am - T.J. Turnage and I departed Midland.
11:00 am - Arrived at the IBWC office in Presidio. Met with John Lee (Project Mgr).
11:30 am - Witnessed Tony (IBWC) test Rio Grande water samples for a type of fecal bacteria. This bacteria is a result of human raw sewage illegally being released into the river from Mexico. If the concentration exceeds a certain threshold the Mexican government is notified and the sewage gates are closed. The current concentration is so high that the IBWC is advising the Rio Grande water around Presidio is unsafe for use of any kind. The further downstream you go the safer the
12:00 noon - Lunch with John Lee.
12:30 pm - John Lee served as our guide as we toured, video taped and photographed the gaging sites along the Rio Grande from Candalaria to Presidio 5SE. This included CDET2 (Candalaria), PIOT2 (above Presidio), PRFT2 (Cibilo Creek...discontinued USGS gage site at Presidio), PRST2 (Presidio Int'l Bridge), PRBT2 (Alamito Creek), and PRDT2 (Presidio 5SE).
Info obtained while on Presidio tour...
6:00 pm - Completed our Presidio tour. Checked into the Three Palms Inn.
*All of the sites visited listed below were video taped and photographed.
7:00 am - Departed Presidio.
8:00 am - Arrived in Lajitas (TGAT2). Met with our Coop Observer Roger Gibson. After visiting with Roger and inspecting the gage site, we discovered there was no way to read the actual river stage until it reach ~9 ft. Roger expressed a desire to have a lower staff section to read as he gets calls daily for the current stage. We agreed to put one in. For a "foundation", we put an 8 ft long 4x4 into a 5 gallon bucket in concrete and let it set. We would be back to anchor it into the river on the 21st.
11:30 am - Arrived at Panther Junction. Met with Scott at the Big Bend Dispatch office. He sent us over to their maintenance area where we concreted an 8 ft. long 6x4 into an 8 gallon bucket. We would be back on the 21st to anchor it into the river at BOQT2 where the low section staff gage has been "missing" since 1/8/97. We then proceeded to inventory hydro equipment that had been stored there back in 1991. Only a couple of 4x4's and a few blank 5 ft staff gages were found. We brought the staff gages back with us.
1:30 pm - Checked into the motel. Ate lunch.
2:00 pm - Arrived and repainted the lower section of the NWS staff gage on the middle support beam along the Terlingua Creek Highway bridge in Terlingua (THWT2). This is not a forecast point but stage information would be helpful in forecasting river stage downstream at TLGT2 and at the forecast points along the Rio Grande downstream from Terlingua Creek. In search of an observer, we met with a worker from the Texas Highway Dept. whose office is located next to the gage site. Names and phone numbers were obtained of the foreman who also lives next to the THD office. His name is Angel. We also learned that Angel reports daily rainfall to Joe Subiate of the Presidio office of the THD.
3:30 pm - We began a tour of the gaging sites within the Big Bend Park, including: THWT2 (Terlingua Creek at Terlingua) - See above. Not a forecast point. No official bankfull or flood stage. Unofficial stages: bankfull=15.4 ft, 15.9 ft La Kiva restaurant would begin to flood, 16.5 ft would begin to flood THD tanks and land on west side of creek, 17.6 ft entrance to La Kiva Restaurant flooded, 19.2 the highway approach on the west side of bridge floods.
Big Bend sites toured:
8:30 pm - Completed tour of gage sites in the Big Bend Park with the exception of BOQT2. We would be working at that site on the 21st. Stayed at Big Bend Motor Inn in Terlingua.
6:30 am - Departed Terlingua.
8:30 am - Arrived at Heath Canyon. Met with Justin. Justin works for Andy Kurie (our official observer) and is often the one who actually reads the river gage.
9:30 am - Began our work. Dug out mud and silt around the lower section staff gage on U.S. side of river. This gage often silts in with mud. You also have to go halfway across the La Linda bridge to Mexico to read this gage. Due to these factors we decided to paint a staff gage on the middle support beam of the La Linda bridge. The rest of the day was spent painting this gage which included several coats. We were able to paint from the water level (~3.5 ft.) to a height of 10 ft. The site was video taped and photographed.
6:00 pm - Returned to the Big Bend Motor Motel.
7:00 am - Departed Terlingua
7:40 am - Arrived at TAGT2 (Lajitas). Roger Gibson inquired about wind equipment. Information is being sent.
8:30 am - Purchased additional bags of concrete from hardware store in Lajitas. Attempted to anchor 4x4 post set in concrete in river ~2 ft. from the near bank. Unable to stablize. Returned to hardware store where a 6'-4x4, 2 8'-2x4's and additional concrete was purchased. Set 4x4 in concrete on bank and attached the 2x4's to both 4x4's for support. Made gage much more stable. Proceeded to use level to find appropriate heights for new gage. 5' staff sections and numbers were then attached to 4x4 in the river. Site was video taped and photographed.
1:00 pm - Departed Lajitas.
2:00 pm - Arrived at Panther Junction. Loaded 4x6 set in concrete into truck furnished by Al (Park Ranger). Al indicated he would deliver it to the Boquillas gage site around 3 pm.
2:30 pm - Found old gage 8 feet from the water's edge and 5 ft. deep in mud. Too much to dig out. Dug out spot near old gage to anchor new 6x4 set in concrete.
3:20 pm - Al delivered gage. Investigated area for better gage site. Found vertical concrete pier away from mud near water pump pipes as an ideal place to install a staff gage. This will be done on the next trip. Successfully anchored 6x4 set in bucket of concrete into river. Put enameled staff gages on upstream and downstream side of 6x4 so that the gage could be read from either side. Put numbers on each enameled gage and pernament numbers on side of 6x4 facing the bank. Unfortunately, due to the shifting nature of the bank at this site, gage was subject to becoming silted in at a later date. Site was video taped and photographed.
5:30 pm - Departed Boquillas. Left behind 2 4x4's taken from storage shelter and placed them next to pump house.
6:00 pm - Stopped by Panther Junction to report what we had done to Joe Gonzales at dispatch. Joe assured us that he would remind the rangers once again to take daily readings. He also thanked us for reestablishing the site as they get many requests for the stage at BOQT2.
6:30 pm - Arrived at Terlingua to use public pay showers before heading home.
11:00 pm - Arrived in MAF. Dropped T.J. off at home.
1:00 am (3/22/97) - Arrived in LBB. Home at last!!

Auto Repair Technology has been nominated for best auto repair in Cleveland. Last year we got into the race late. We don't want to play catch up again and really need your help this year. We finished 1st in 2008, 5th in 2009, 3rd in 2010 Help us reclaim 1st place. Help make us the first shop to come in first place twice!
Please feel free to pass this along to your family and friends. Thanks in advance for your help! Just copy and paste the link below. ~Laura
Thanks for all of the great comments from last month's article. And yes, my in-laws are still talking to me. If you read my August article, you know that my family is helping my mother battle ovarian cancer. So, when I was approached by a friend who has a repair shop in Medina about the idea of running a program for the month of October to support Breast Cancer awareness, I jumped at the chance. Why?
One reason is because breast cancer and ovarian cancer are linked genetically by the BRCA1 gene. Even though every case of these cancers is not genetically tied to this gene, I believe that any discovery in that area of the BRCA1 may aid in answers to ovarian cancer. Also, I know so many people, as do many of you, who have been affected by breast cancer.
So, we have some really exciting options for you if you choose to participate and support this cause.
We have secured PINK METAL WIPER BLADES! Yes, Pink Wiper Blades! With every purchase we make, the blade manufacturer, AutotexPink, donates a percentage to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. If you are interested stop by the shop and check them out. I know I can't wait to put them on my car!
In addition, we are offering a win/win for you with our Brakes for Breasts. We are offering FREE brake pads with every brake service for the month of October. So, make an appointment to get your brakes checked. You can save money and at the same time help put an end to breast cancer. That's right; we have decided to donate 10% of every brake service we perform in the month of October to the Cleveland Clinic's Breast Cancer Vaccine Fund. If you are interested in more information about their research the website is: http://giving.ccf.org/site/PageServer?pagename=vaccine .
As I write, we are in the planning process of some other give-aways, etc. so check out our website for any updates – don't miss out!
Some of you may know that Gerry and I are always educating ourselves to help Auto Repair Technology be the best it can be. Every year we attend a mast mind meeting / seminar in Las Vegas. Last year there were about 20 of us attending the mastermind meeting portion of th eevent. Our mentor talked about being out of your comfort zone and the personal growth that occurs when you are there. After which he divided us up into two teams; our assignment: to go out on the streets of Vegas and collect as much money as we could for breast cancer research. Really! To walk up to complete strangers on the streets of Vegas and ask for money?! Talk about being out of your comfort zone! So we planned our strategy and off we went. Our strategy – We carried a pad of paper. As we approached people and asked for a donation, we asked if they would like to make that donation in somebody's name. On that paper we wrote the name and story. These people were filled with such passion, sadness and strength. The next day when we stood on stage for the main seminar, in front of several hundred people and read the names and told the stories, it was hard to find a dry eye in the place.
So, what I would like to do, I don't have enough space to tell every story but, I am sure I can make enough room in next month's newsletter to list every name for anybody who wants to come to the shop and dedicate a pink ribbon by donating $1 or more.
'Til next month ~ Laura
Talk about writers block… It has been quite a while since I wrote my personal corner. Well, I am back to write about something that has touched mine and most peoples lives—knowing, living with, caring for, or loving an acquaintance, friend or family member diagnosed with cancer. I am one daughter of a brave and strong woman who is fighting ovarian cancer and winning many, many battles in the war.
I was there when she "felt" there was something wrong. I was glad when the doctors told her she was ok. A year and a half later Mom was visiting my brother in Florida. I was concerned when I got a phone call that he took her to the ER with severe abdominal pain. Our world was rocked when she came home and had to see an oncologist. I cried while talking with her patient oncologist when she came out of surgery. I watch the dedicated nurses administered her chemo treatments. I watch her force down the last gulp of that orange stuff before her CT Scans. I watch her listen intently to her doctor as he discusses her test results and plan the next step of her treatment. Many of you have similar stories. I also watch her live: her walking group, Severence Hall, all of the grand kids activities, gardening, riding her bicycle—Her social calendar is busier than mine! Through it all she has been strong, an inspiration. Through it all, one of her wishes has been to get the word out about ovarian cancer and the symptoms. As in many cancers, early detection leads to a higher chance of being cured. I don't know if I am writing this more for her or me but, as I watched her visit doctors offices and hospital staff to try and get the word out about the symptoms of ovarian cancer, I had a nagging feeling that I had to do something to help. So for anybody with a mother, daughter, aunt, grandmother, sister, niece or any other woman in their life, I am printing the symptoms of ovarian cancer below. In addition, August is the month that OROC holds their annual run, participation info is also below.
Ovarian cancer usually presents with a constellation of symptoms including:
Symptoms may be experienced by women at some point in their lives, and usually do not indicate ovarian cancer. However, if symptoms persist for three weeks or more with no diagnosable cause, contact your doctor and ask about ovarian cancer.

IVR dial to extension does not work!
Thursday, April 23, 2009 9:44 AMI am successfully using UM on Exchange 2007 SP1 and integration to OCS 2007 R2.
I can use voice mail, I can transfer to OCS Response Group Queues or extensions using IVR selections, BUT cannot directly accept extension dialing from inside the IVR.
In other words, an external user calls my IVR, and using "press 1 for blah blah, press 2 for whatever" I can direct them to a Response Group Queue OR OCS extension, but dialing directly "662" (an extension number) only results in "six six is not valid".
Now, that it only reads the first two digits should hint me about something, but I haven't set two digit extensions anywhere. Only three.
To give an example of a real OCS and Exchange UM enabled user:
User Whatever
Same user on OCS:
Line URI
(real numbers and names changed of course)
Again: If I set 662 as a destination for IVR tree selection (press 1), it works. Just not "direct extension" dialing. What am I doing wrong?

Comments (0) Best Denver Celebrity to Almost Inherit an English Castle - 2008
Isaac Slade
Isaac Slade, frontman for the Fray, Denver's first double-platinum band, has been living the dream in more ways than one. Last year he met up with Sir Benjamin Slade, an English aristocrat in search of an heir to inherit his thirteenth mansion. The estate, valued at $15 million, includes three lakes, a ballroom (perfect for private rock shows), hundreds of cattle — and plenty of expensive upkeep projects. Sir Benjamin had been looking for an heir for eighteen months before he decided that Isaac might be just the Slade he was looking for; at last report, Isaac still hadn't decided if English manor life was for him.

Miami is totally tropical in its climate and its vibrant culture. Temperatures throughout the year range from 75-90°F (23-32°C) during the day with heavy afternoon showers from July to November, along with the occasional threat of a hurricane. The warm sunny winters attract many snowbirds and wealthy families to enjoy their winter homes in the city to escape northern winters.
Once known for its gangland violence and total disregard for prohibition in the 1920s, it is now a chic playground for the rich and famous. The city of Miami is an eclectic mix of ultra-modern high-rise condos, modern shopping malls, upmarket beach resorts and poorer neighborhoods.
Miami Beach is on the outlying barrier island to the east of the city of Miami. It is linked to the mainland by several causeways including the MacArthur Causeway, the Venetian causeway and just a little further north by the Julia Tuttle Causeway. The waterway between the city of Miami and Miami Beach is known as Biscayne Bay, part of the Intracoastal waterway that runs all the way up the eastern seaboard to New York.
Within Biscayne Bay there are several manmade islands which are private, occupied by some of Miami's most desirable multi-million dollar properties with luxury yachts moored alongside. Hibiscus Island, Palm Island and Star Island are just some of the manmade islands easily defined from above by their very geometric shapes!
Miami is a major center for finance, commerce, entertainment, media, sport and the arts. It is known as the "Gateway to the Americas" and has a large Hispanic population from Cuba, Colombia and South America. In fact over half the population of Miami speaks Spanish as their first language! The plus side is that you can get great international cuisine in the city, from authentic Cuban sandwiches to great Brazilian churrascarias or steakhouses.
The city of Miami has around 400,000 residents although the metro area actually has over 5.5 million residents. Miami is divided into a number of districts. Brickell is the most affluent area with modern high-rise architecture that is home to international bank headquarters, lawyers' offices and some of Miami's most exclusive luxury hotels and condos.
To the south of the city is Coral Gables, known for its huge old fig trees and mansions. The historic Biltmore Hotel with its golf course is in this area and has been accommodating presidents, celebrities and royalty since it opened in 1926. Some of Miami's best shopping can be found along Bird Road and in the Merrick Park Mall in Coral Gables.
West of Downtown Miami is the airport surrounded by districts that tell their own story Little Havana, Hialeah, Upper East Side, Opa-Locka and Miami Shores. Further north lies Miami Gardens, Golden Glades and North Miami Beach, not to be confused with Miami Beach across the causeway.
Miami Beach is known for its gorgeous white sands and azure blue waters. The boardwalk is the place for beautiful people to see and be seen. Miami Beach also has its own famous neighborhoods including the Art Deco hotels and restaurants along Ocean Drive in South Beach, or SoBe as it likes to be known.
South Pointe is at the very tip of South Beach and overlooks the entrance to one of the busiest cruise ports in the world. Huge cruise ships glide in and out regularly heading for the Caribbean or the Bahamas. Further north is Miami Beach itself with the Lincoln Road Mall, Jackie Gleason Theater and Convention Center. North Beach leads on to Surfside and snobbish Bal Harbour, with its exclusive designer shopping mall.
Further west from Miami the road quickly hits the Everglades National Park, one of the natural wonders of the world, but that's a story for another day!
I found this map was a godsend when I lived in Miami - there are so many different districts and convoluted one way streets! This map covers the whole area and, being laminated, you can fold it whichever way you like without it ripping along the folds. It also folds up small to store in the car door pocket.

Parking for patients, families, and visitors is available on-site, free of charge. Parking is available in the north parking terrace and in the south parking lot. If you are coming to visit a patient in the hospital, the north parking terrace is the best place to park.
If you are coming for an outpatient procedure or clinic appointment, parking in the south lot will be the closest location.
There is limited parking outside of the Emergency Department entrance on the west side of the hospital. As an alternative, emergency patients can utilize the valet. The valet is located next to the hospital's main entrance. They will park your car so you can head right to the Emergency Department through the main hospital doors. The valet will retrieve your car when you're ready to leave. You do not need to tip the valet - this is a free service.
Patients who are disabled, or families that need handicapped parking may utilize the valet parking service located at the north entrance of the hospital. The valet will park your car and retrieve it for you when you're ready to leave. You do not need to tip the valet - this is a free service.
