The unit's simple and straight forward. Has an annoying tiny blue LED light that stays on when the unit's connected to but that's not too bad. It comes with a 12" stone (ceramic) cook plate, which is nice. The controls are simple, the temperature advances by 25 degree increments from 150 to 450 (bake) - produced by a 1500W heating element(s). It uses halogen type of heaters which warm up real fast compared to conventional heating element(s) but produce a brighter orange glow than normal. The convection (fan) is on by default and cannot be turned off. But perhaps because of it, baking and broiling both produce very evenly cooked meals and baked goods. The timer has a little beeping alarm to signify end of cooking time, which by the way can be adjusted down to the 10ns of seconds (i.e. 3min20sec) and toasting heat is indexed to 6 time increments - certainly enough for most home users. Perhaps the only real caveat is the inability to adjust the cooking time downward, only upward - i.e. if the bake time was set at 30 min and you need 15, you'd have to cycle upward to I think 90 or more before it goes back to 1. A downward adjustment's impossible. Another thing is it doesn't have a clock, but that's not what a toaster oven's for. 5 years warranty is standard and with Sears all around it should be a breeze should something come up (hopefully.)
Overall, a very good unit, especially if you get it for under a c-note (when it's on sale). It does what a toaster oven's supposed to do better than the average unit. Recommended, when on sale.

Menu system is bad, can only add minutes so if you want lower you have to go around 99 first. The LED screen must been multiplexed bad as segments that should be off are dim, making it hard to see what number it really is. Pizza button is to hot and does not allow you to decrease it's temp. The metal rack included is to short that a regular 12" pizza will hang over its edge (why did they make it smaller than the inside of oven?) Using the included pizza stone, use bake at 375f with the stone inside for 5minutes then add pizza and wait 18 minutes to bake at 375. DollarTree have 12" round pizza tray for that fits in the slots perfectly of this oven, so get a couple only $1 each., I will HACK the mcu inside this oven and make it perfect so stay tuned for an update.

I got this for a friend with a large family. They all love pizza but hate to heat up the house by using the oven in the summer. With the pizza stone that came with the unit plus the quick cooking, this is the perfect pizza maker for the summer. It is so easy to use that even the kids can make a quick grilled cheese or even a dozen cookies without supervision. It is big enough for most of their snack needs but doesn't take up that much space on the counter. And the food cooked in it tastes so much better than anything from the microwave! My friend really praised me for coming up with this oh so useful gift.

Yes, the timer is quirky, but this is a great toaster oven. I use the 30 minute default for baking (unless I need something to cook longer) and set the timer on my microwave. Problem solved! Infrared ovens do tend to run hotter and you can burn things if you are not careful, so be mindful of that and if you don't like the blue light, turn if off when you are done using it :)

Kenmore elite toaster oven ( with pizza stone) bakes delicious pizzas The design is very modern works perfectly in my stainless Kenmore Elite kitchen. Temp. Controls are very accurate and easy to adjust. I would change just one feature --- Have a back light behind the push button controls. In a dark room difficult to read.

The pizza stone is 12.75 inches and not 12 inches so it does not fit into the oven. Just figured future buyers should know.

I was looking for a toaster oven that had the convection and the infrared features and this unit has both. The first item I cooked was a frozen pork chop and it was delicious. It took less than 15 minutes and the meat was very moist and tasty. I like the uniform way it cooks and how quickly it does its job. I think I will be very happy with my selection. The only thing that is odd is that the timer is defaulted at 30 minutes, and you have to turn it all the way to 99 before it you can get to the lower numbers.

Pros: 1. I was impressed with how fast this unit cooks food. 2. The fan is very quiet. Cons: Even though it has an annoying blue light, this was the least of the faults of this unit. 1. The cord is VERY short. 2. The toast feature has 6 settings, but it jumps from barely heated up to medium brown with nothing inbetween. 3. Everything will burn if not cooked at a lower temperature than in a regular oven. 4. The timer only goes up and not down. 5.The worst fault of this unit is that the door does not open all the way. You scrape much of the element cover and bottom removing the crumb tray for ceaning, and I often burn my hands getting food in and out of the unit as the door is at an angle when fully open. If given another chance, I would not have bought it.

V sign
The V sign (U+270C ✌ victory hand in Unicode) is a hand gesture in which the index and middle fingers are raised and parted, while the other fingers are clenched. It has various meanings, depending on the cultural context and how it is presented. It has been used to represent the letter "V" as in "victory," especially by Allied troops during World War II. It is also used by people of the United Kingdom and related cultures as an offensive gesture (when displayed with the palm inward); and by many others simply to signal the number 2. Since the 1960s, when the "V sign" was widely adopted by the counterculture movement, it has come to be used as a symbol of peace (usually with palm outward).
The meaning of the V sign is partially dependent on the manner in which the hand is positioned:
- If the palm of the hand faces the signer (i.e., the back of the hand faces the observer), the sign signifies:
- An insult. This usage is restricted largely to Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, and the United Kingdom.[1][2]
- The number '2' in American Sign Language.
- With the back of the hand facing the signer (palm of the hand facing the observer), it can mean:
- two (the number) – a non-verbal communication of quantity.
- Victory – in a setting of wartime or competition. It was first popularised in January 1941 by Victor de Laveleye, a Belgian politician, who asked the Belgians to choose the sign as a symbol of unity. First, it was mostly used in Belgium, but soon other allies copied the symbol.[3] It is sometimes made using both hands with upraised arms as US President Eisenhower, and in imitation of him, Richard Nixon, used to do.
- Peace, or friend – used around the world by peace and counter-culture groups; popularized in the American peace movement of the 1960s.
- V (the letter) – used when spelling in American Sign Language.[4]
- When used with movement, it can mean:
- Air quotes – flexing fingers, palm out, both hands.[5]
- This hand shape is also used in a number of signs in many sign languages, including (in American Sign Language) "to look" (with the palm down) or "to see" (palm up). When the pointer and middle fingers are pointed at the signer's eyes then turned and the pointer finger is pointed at someone it means "I am watching you." [6]
- The ordinal "second" in American Sign Language has the V-sign palm forward, then the hand turns (yaws) until the palm faces backward.[7]
V sign as an insult[edit]
The insulting version of the gesture (with the palm inwards) is often compared to the offensive gesture known as "the finger". The "two-fingered salute", also known as "The Longbowman Salute", "the two", "The Rods", "The Agincourt Salute", and as "The Tongs" in the West of Scotland and "the forks" in Australia,[8] is commonly performed by flicking the V upwards from wrist or elbow. The V sign, when the palm is facing toward the person giving the sign, has long been an insulting gesture in England,[9] and later in the rest of the United Kingdom; though the use of the V sign as an insulting gesture is largely restricted to the UK, Ireland, New Zealand, and Australia.[1] It is frequently used to signify defiance (especially to authority), contempt, or derision.[10] The gesture is not used in the United States, and archaic in Australia and New Zealand, where the finger tends to be used in such situations instead.
As an example of the V sign (palm inward) as an insult, on November 1, 1990, The Sun, a British tabloid, ran an article on its front page with the headline "Up Yours, Delors" next to a large hand making a V sign protruding from a Union flag cuff. The Sun urged its readers to stick two fingers up at then President of the European Commission Jacques Delors, who had advocated an EU central government. The article attracted a number of complaints about its alleged racism, but the now defunct Press Council rejected the complaints after the editor of The Sun stated that the paper reserved the right to use vulgar abuse in the interests of Britain.[11][12]
For a time in the UK, "a Harvey (Smith)" became a way of describing the insulting version of the V sign, much as "the word of Cambronne" is used in France, or "the Trudeau salute" is used to describe the one-fingered salute in Canada. This happened because, in 1971, show-jumper Harvey Smith was disqualified for making a televised V sign to the judges after winning the British Show Jumping Derby at Hickstead. (His win was reinstated two days later.)[13]
Harvey Smith pleaded that he was using a Victory sign, a defence also used by other figures in the public eye.[14] Sometimes foreigners visiting the countries mentioned above use the "two-fingered salute" without knowing it is offensive to the natives, for example when ordering two beers in a noisy pub, or in the case of the United States president George H. W. Bush, who, while touring Australia in 1992, attempted to give a "peace sign" to a group of farmers in Canberra—who were protesting about U.S. farm subsidies—and instead gave the insulting V sign.[15]
Steve McQueen gives a British (knuckles outward) V sign in the closing scene of the 1970s motorsport movie, Le Mans. A still picture of the gesture[16] was recorded by photographer Nigel Snowdon and has become an iconic image of both McQueen and the film. The gesture was also flashed by Spike (played by James Marsters) in "Hush", a Season 4 episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The scene was also featured in the series' opening credits for all of Season 5. It was only censored by BBC Two in its early-evening showings of the program.[17][18]
A commonly repeated legend claims that the two-fingered salute or V sign derives from a gesture made by longbowmen fighting in the English and Welsh[19] army at the Battle of Agincourt (1415) during the Hundred Years' War. According to the story, the French were in the habit of cutting off the arrow-shooting fingers of captured English and Welsh longbowmen, and the gesture was a sign of defiance on the part of the bowmen, showing the enemy that they still had their fingers,[9][20] or, as a widespread pun puts it, that they could still "pluck yew". The longbow story is of unknown origin, but the "pluck yew" pun is thought to be a definitively false etymology that seems to originate from a 1996 email that circulated the story.[21]
The bowman etymology is unlikely, since no evidence exists of French forces (or any other continental European power) cutting off the fingers of captive bowmen; the standard procedure at the time was to summarily execute all enemy commoners captured on the battlefield (regardless of whether they were bowmen, foot soldiers or merely unarmed auxiliaries) since they had no ransom value, unlike the nobles whose lives could be worth thousands of florins apiece.
The first unambiguous evidence of the use of the insulting V sign in England dates to 1901, when a worker outside Parkgate ironworks in Rotherham used the gesture (captured on the film) to indicate that he did not like being filmed.[22] Peter Opie interviewed children in the 1950s and observed in The Lore and Language of Schoolchildren that the much older thumbing of the nose (cock-a-snook) had been replaced by the V sign as the most common insulting gesture used in the playground.[14]
In his graphic novel Crécy (published 2007), English author Warren Ellis features the "The Longbowman Salute" being directed by English archers toward the retreating French nobility and knights after the Battle of Crécy during the Hundred Years' War, which took place in northern France in 1346. Ellis pointedly demonstrates the supposed origins of this sign, indicating that it was used by the lower-class English yeomen, who made up the ranks of the longbowmen in the English Army, as a symbol of their anger and defiance against the French upper-class, who had since William the Conqueror's invasion in 1066 subjugated the English people.[23]
Desmond Morris discussed various possible origins of the V sign in Gestures: Their Origins and Distribution (published 1979), and came to no definite conclusion:
because of the strong taboo associated with the gesture (its public use has often been heavily penalised). As a result, there is a tendency to shy away from discussing it in detail. It is "known to be dirty" and is passed on from generation to generation by people who simply accept it as a recognised obscenity without bothering to analyse it... Several of the rival claims are equally appealing. The truth is that we will probably never know...
—Desmond Morris.[14]
Swede Mason did a comparison between the use of the middle finger versus the use of the V sign in his video Schofield on Crack using footage of Schofield making the comparison, remixing it and setting it to music.
The V for Victory campaign and the victory-freedom sign[edit]
On January 14, 1941, Victor de Laveleye, former Belgian Minister of Justice and director of the Belgian French-speaking broadcasts on the BBC (1940–1944), suggested in a broadcast that Belgians use a V for victoire (French: "victory") and vrijheid (Dutch: "freedom") as a rallying emblem during World War II. In the BBC broadcast, de Laveleye said that "the occupier, by seeing this sign, always the same, infinitely repeated, [would] understand that he is surrounded, encircled by an immense crowd of citizens eagerly awaiting his first moment of weakness, watching for his first failure." Within weeks chalked up Vs began appearing on walls throughout Belgium, the Netherlands, and northern France.[24]
Buoyed by this success, the BBC started the "V for Victory" campaign, for which they put in charge the assistant news editor Douglas Ritchie posing as "Colonel Britton". Ritchie suggested an audible V using its Morse code rhythm (three dots and a dash). As the rousing opening bars of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony had the same rhythm, the BBC used this as its call-sign in its foreign language programmes to occupied Europe for the rest of the war. The more musically educated also understood that it was the Fate motif "knocking on the door" of the Third Reich. ( Listen to this call-sign. (help·info)).[24][25] The BBC also encouraged the use of the V gesture introduced by de Laveleye.[26]
By July 1941, the emblematic use of the letter V had spread through occupied Europe. On July 19, Prime Minister Winston Churchill referred approvingly to the V for Victory campaign in a speech,[27] from which point he started using the V hand sign. Early on he sometimes gestured palm in (sometimes with a cigar between the fingers).[28] Later in the war, he used palm out.[29] After aides explained to Churchill what the palm in gesture meant to other classes, he made sure to use the appropriate sign.[14][30] Other allied leaders used the sign as well; since 1942, Charles de Gaulle used the V sign in every speech until 1969.[31]
In 1942, Aleister Crowley, a British occultist, claimed to have invented the usage of a V-sign in February 1941 as a magical foil to the Nazis' use of the Swastika. He maintained that he passed this to friends at the BBC, and to the British Naval Intelligence Division through his connections in MI5, eventually gaining the approval of Winston Churchill. Crowley noted that his 1913 publication Magick featured a V-sign and a swastika on the same plate.[32]
Vietnam War, victory and peace[edit]
U.S. President Richard Nixon used the gesture to signal victory in the Vietnam War, an act which became one of his best-known trademarks. He also used it on his departure from public office following his resignation in 1974.
Protesters against the Vietnam War (and subsequent anti-war protests) and counterculture activists adopted the gesture as a sign of peace. Because the hippies of the day often flashed this sign (palm out) while saying "Peace", it became popularly known (through association) as the peace sign.[33]
V sign in Japan[edit]
The palm-outwards V sign is very commonly made by Japanese people, especially younger people, when posing for informal photographs. One account of this practice claims it was influenced by the American figure skater Janet Lynn during the 1972 Winter Olympics in Sapporo, Hokkaidō. She fell during a free-skate period, but continued to smile even as she sat on the ice. Though she placed third in the competition, her cheerful diligence and persistence resonated with many Japanese viewers. Lynn became an overnight foreign celebrity in Japan. A peace activist, Lynn frequently flashed the V sign when she was covered in Japanese media. Though the Japanese knew the sign from the post-World War II Allied occupation of Japan, she is credited by some Japanese for having popularized its use since the 1970s in amateur photographs.[33]
V sign in Mainland China, Hong Kong, South Korea and Taiwan[edit]
In Mainland China, Hong Kong, South Korea and Taiwan, the V sign is the most popular pose in photographs. It is used in both casual and formal settings.[34][35] It is not widely known to Hong Kongers, Koreans or Taiwanese that the V sign can mean "peace" or be used as an insult; some may believe that the meaning of the sign is "victory" or "yeah" (implies the feeling of being happy). They use it both ways (palm facing the signer and palm facing forward).
During the German occupation of Jersey, a stonemason repairing the paving of the Royal Square incorporated a V for victory under the noses of the occupiers. This was later amended to refer to the Red Cross ship Vega. The addition of the date 1945 and a more recent frame has transformed it into a monument.
Other uses[edit]
- In Argentina, the V sign, besides "victory", is linked to a political movement, the Peronismo.
- University of Southern California and Villanova University students, alumni, and fans "throw their Vs up" in tradition and as a sign of pride of their university and athletic teams.
- V sign, especially when printed in green, is a sign of the Iranian Green Movement.
- After the first elections in Iraq after the U.S. Invasion, a well known photo was circulated of a woman showing the V sign with one of her fingers dipped in purple ink. The ink is used to identify individuals who have already voted.
- In Poland during the Solidarity movement, protesters showed the V sign meaning they would defeat Communism.[36] After partially free elections, when Tadeusz Mazowiecki was chosen as prime minister (August 24, 1989), he went to the MPs with the V sign, which was transmitted on TV.[37] It is sometimes shown during debates about the fall of Communism.
- In Romania the sign represents victory and has been used as an extension of the roman salute to announce that victory has been achieved. It was used heavily during the Romanian revolution after the ousting of Nicolae Ceausescu. Mircea Dinescu is appearing in the first transmission of the Romanian Television after the revolutionaries occupied it shouting "We won!" and flashing the victory sign.
- During the Yugoslav Wars, Croatian and Bosnian troops and paramilitary militia used the sign as a greeting or an informal salute. U.S. and NATO peacekeepers stationed in Bosnia were forbidden to use the V-sign (peace symbol) to avoid upsetting or offending Serbs they might encounter.[38]
- In Vietnam, the V sign means "hello" since the Vietnamese word for the number "2" sounds like the English pronunciation of the greeting "hi".
- Ringo Starr of the Beatles uses the 'V' sign extensively while quoting the phrase "Peace and Love" as a sort of trademark.
- A variation is to put the V sign with the fingers on either side of the mouth (usually knuckle facing the observer, but with no reason to this) and to stick the tongue out. Most of the time the tongue is wriggled around. This is used to signify cunnilingus and the gesture is often off-colour.
- A partially obscured V sign can be added to someone else's head to produce devil's horns or 'bunny ears' for an amusing photo. In September 2013, Manu Tuilagi apologised to Prime Minister David Cameron after making a "bunny ears" sign behind his head in a photo taken during a visit by the British and Irish Lions squad to Downing Street.[39]

I have to tell you about the dog I met tonight. He belongs to a friend of mine. He was a mix of Rotti with Jack Russel (mother was the Rotti). The dog is every bit a JRT in appearance and temperment but supersized to Rotti size and has the colouring of a Rotti.
He was just the nuttiest dog. PUre play, run, jump, bark, try to get attention energy that you see in a JRT but having 90 lbs or so behind him was something. Poor ol' Ebony just wasn't quite sure what to think since she's still a little unsure about other dogs to start with and then she meets this whirling dirvish with fur who was not having this sitting and not playing thing at all.
Anyway, I thought I'd let you know about this odd combo as it's sure not one I have ever heard of before.
I can't imagine that dog! Hilarious!
When I was still at school, my friends cousins had a St. Bernard and a Bull Terrier (female). Needless to say, somehow they managed to have a litter of puppies.
My friend took one of the puppies. It grew up to be a white smooth coated St. Bernard with black spots. She called her 'Daisy' because she looked just like a cow. :biglol:
And they say size matters. :biglol:
lmao!...omg Pearl..that was hilarious!...DBD would you be able to get a pic of this dog?...i'd love to see what he looks like...you know Pete was tall...but lemme tell ya...Milo legs aren't no bigger than 8''long!...lol
did the Jack Russell need a step stool ? lol :)

Definition of -ics in English:
Pronunciation: /ɪks/
from French -iques, Latin -ica, or Greek -ika, plural forms.
A noun ending in -ics meaning 'a subject of study or branch of knowledge' will usually take a singular rather than a plural verb, e.g. politics is a blood sport ; classics is hardly studied at all these days . However, the same word may take a plural verb in cases where the sense is plural: many of the classics were formerly regarded with disdain .

Real Name
Date of Birth
December 31, 1969
Place of Birth
While her character and routine have not exactly caught fire with the audience yet, WWE is said to be dedicated to giving Emma a legitimate chance at becoming a star in the divas division. Management is expected to continue giving her television time on Monday Night Raw and Smackdown for the time being.
March 10, 2014
While he rarely gets television time on Monday Night Raw as is, Hornswoggle will certainly not be there this week, as the WWE star will be in Los Angeles, representing the company at the world premier of the Muppets Most Wanted movie. Aside from being a huge fan, he also has a cameo appearance in the film as well.
March 10, 2014
Apparently, Sin Cara remains defiant towards WWE, as the masked performer is appearing on television shows for AAA. According to WWE, he is under a 90 day no compete clause, which prevents wrestlers from immediately working televised events after leaving the company. Management is said to be fine with him working non televised events for independent wrestling promotions, though.
March 9, 2014
In a rather interesting development, it has now been announced that CM Punk will be making his return to television next week. Unfortunately for WWE fans, however, it will not be done on Monday Night Raw or Smackdown. The former world heavyweight champion will be making another appearance on the Talking Dead, his first time in public since walking out on Vince McMahon.
March 9, 2014
"We're not talking. We're not on good terms. I have no respect for them whatsoever. I strongly dislike management there like with the exception of Jeff Jones who is a great guy. But the booker (Hunter Johnson) is completely inadequate at his job and he got his job more for being spineless than being talented. And the owner (Joe Koff) is even worse, he could care less about wrestling. He just wants to do television. To me, it's just not something I agree with but I'm not there anymore and they do their own thing. And for the talent and the fans I wish them nothing but the best of luck. That company is in business not because of stellar booking and stellar management. They're in business still because they'they're spineless. The talent there is phenomenal. They're top notch and great. But the management from the booker to the owner it's definitely shut up and do what you're told and drink the Kool-aid. I made a joke when I was there I called it Jim Jones wrestling. Just shut up and drink the Kool-aid and do your job. In private, people are going this sucks this sucks this sucks and I'm the one who came out and said this is terrible. I worked for that company and gave them everything I had for seven years. I think I earned my right to an opinion. Once that got out, it was like you're going against the stream? You're not here to have an opinion, just shut up and do your job and get your paycheck. I'm sure you can find someone else to do that for a lot less money than what you're paying me so I'm just going to go about my way. Best decision I ever made and I have no desire to go back, ever." - Davey Richards talks about the backstage politics in ROH
March 8, 2014
There are rumors floating around backstage that Vince McMahon will be making his television return shortly after Wrestlemania 30. The belief is that he will return to confront Stephanie McMahon on Monday Night Raw about how she is running the company. This story line was discussed for much of 2013 as well, but those plans fell through.
March 8, 2014
In addition to his duties as a commentator for WWE, Booker T is also building himself quite the wrestling promotion. Reality of Wrestling has just signed a television contract with Soul of the South to air a weekly show in several markets, including Dallas and New York City. Fans can start tuning in on April 1 to check out the promotion.
March 8, 2014
An interesting stat about the WWE Network has surfaced this week. Vince McMahon decided to air WWE Main Event live on his new subscription service, yet ratings for when the episode aired on ION actually increased from the week before, leading many within the company to believe that fans might prefer to watch things on television instead.
March 7, 2014
While she is no longer on television on a regular basis, Torrie Wilson has stayed committed to fitness. The former WWE diva is staying quite in shape by doing some hiking. In this picture, you can still see her amazing body, as she is hiking through the snow and mountains.
March 7, 2014
After taking a week off following his much anticipated return, the Undertaker is now scheduled to be on every episode of Monday Night Raw from now until Wrestlemania 30. His opponent Brock Lesnar has another two weeks off of television, so it will be interesting to see how WWE plays things up with just the Undertaker for a couple of episodes.

The new Digital Divide
After participating in a Digital Brand Think Tank in Munich a couple of weeks ago (a lively discussion with 20 marketing executives from Audi, BMW, Google, Continental, and other top-tier brands), I must admit that I'm a bit tired of having to evangelize (or even justify) the value of brands using social media. It is astonishing to me that companies still ask for evidence when the tweet is on the wall. The event showed that there is a new Digital Divide that cuts straight through the ranks of the marketing industry--some executives get the Social Web, some don't. … Read more

Fortunately the Bobcats' season remains the only thing in a vegetative state. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist had to be carted off in a stretcher after whacking his head on teammate Jeff Taylor's hip and/or knee, but as of this morning he appears to have suffered nothing more than a bad concussion. Other than in pro wrestling, it's never fun to see the paramedics running out with those wheeled gurneys and the neck brace, as they did last night while MKG lay motionless on the court. It all happened in typical MKG fashion, too: he was hustling to try to block Toney Douglas on a driving layup, there was contact, and he fell back into a trailing Taylor.
One of the concerns with MKG was that his rugged play would lead to chronic injuries and an ultimately shortened career, and here we are. He's already scratched his cornea and gotten a brutal concussion after just 46 games; at this rate, by year 3 he's going to be playing with a hook and a peg-leg. Of course, I and I'm pretty sure everyone else loves MKG—he's on pace to capture that place in our hearts that Gerald Wallace still dives around in—so let's hope little Crash, Jr. can come back soon and be less effective at identifying new ways to maim himself.

Cedar Rapids Weather
NTS Services May Change Due to Federal Funding CutsBy Addison Speck, Reporter
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - Federal funding cuts could seriously impact the customers of one Linn County Transportation Service. The Neighborhood Transportation Service is primarily an overnight shuttle that transports people in Cedar Rapids, Hiawatha, and Marion to work. The service runs when city buses don't.
"We serve people who are mostly low-income people who are re-entering or entering the workforce and who are predominately making between 18 to 22 thousand dollars a year," said Kay Fisk, the Development Director of NTS. The service is normally funded by the City of Cedar Rapids, Hiawatha, Marion, United Way of East Central Iowa, and federal funding. But Fisk said some legislation passed over the past summer took that federal funding away. "We are left with about a third of our budget that we need to find a way to make up for," Fisk said. The 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. shift received most of that federal funding. That time slot provides about 98 hundred rides a year and serves about 550 people. "We have people who work in hospitals, care centers, custodians, people who clean buildings," Fisk added. But until NTS finds more money, those riders may need to be prepare for some changes. " If someone calls in and they are the only person that we are going to pick up in a certain area, we may have to say no if we have nobody else to pick up in that area," Fisk said. She also said that NTS may also consider not taking on any new customers or increasing their rider fare. "Right now we charge five dollars a ride, but we are thinking of increasing our fare to 6 dollars a ride. While that doesn't sound like much, it's quite a bit for someone making 18 to 22 thousand dollars a year," she said. It currently costs NTS about $17.50 for each ride they provide. That price includes fuel, paying the driver, the driver's benefits, and insurance. Fisk also worries about the impact it will have on those who employ their riders. "We are taking people to work, so what will happen is that the businesses we serve will find that their employees are not going to be able to get there anymore and then these low-income people will find themselves without jobs," she said. Fisk said NTS leaders are already talking with area businesses, the cities that help fund the service, and legislators to help find a way to make up the gap in funding.

Lottery officials say nobody won the Powerball jackpot over the weekend so the top prize will now increase to about $425 million for the next drawing, the largest jackpot ever for the game.
Iowa Lottery spokeswoman Mary Neubauer said sales were strong for leading up to Saturday's drawing, with a jackpot estimated at $325 million. That was the fourth-largest jackpot in the game's history.
Neubauer says the jackpot for Wednesday's drawing could go even higher than the estimated $425 million because sales pick up in the days before record drawings.
The previous top Powerball prize was $365 million, won in 2006 by ConAgra Foods Workers in Lincoln, Nebraska.
The Powerball numbers for Saturday were 22-32-37-44-50, and the Powerball was 34.
Tickets are two bucks each and drawings are on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

JERUSALEM, June 20 (Reuters) - Bank Hapoalim, Israel's largest lender, said its board nominated Yadin Antebi as its new chief financial officer.
If approved by the Bank of Israel, the country's banking regulator, Antebi would replace Raz Oz, who said he would step down after five years as CFO to pursue other opportunities.
The bank did not give further details.
Antebi most recently has been chief executive of the DS Investment House. From 2005-2009, he was head of the capital market, insurance, and savings and supervisor of insurance at the Ministry of Finance where he was responsible for regulating and supervising institutional entities in Israel and led extensive reforms in the long-term savings market and in the insurance market.

First animals oxygenated Earth's oceans
The evolution of the first animals may have oxygenated
Earth's oceans: contrary to the traditional view that a rise in oxygen
triggered their development.
GEOL3003 Geodynamics & Global Tectonics
The course seeks to present a global perspective of plate tectonics processes, including plate kinematics, the nature
of plate boundaries and the forces that drive those processes. The goals are to understand the geological manifestations
of tectonic processes at the surface and unify them with the processes in the interior that drive the tectonics.
Students will achieve a thorough understanding of plate boundaries, the unique geological and geophysical observations that characterize them. Along with such phenomenology the students will gain a clear picture of plate kinematics and the forces that drive such motions. Along with it, they will also gain an understanding of the energy balance in the Earth and how it relates to convective flow and plate tectonics, stress and strain and the relation to surface deformation and mantle dynamics.
Students will be able to rotate plates on a sphere, analyze heat flow, gravity, seismic and geological data to understand tectonics and dynamics of the Earth. They will learn to master the necessary software to plot global observations for different map projections and write simple programs to solve geophysical and geological problems.
The software and numerical skills (Unix, GMT, Matlab) and oral presentation skills are transferable to any area of academic and industrial work.
Topics will include:
- Plate Tectonics Historical Perspective
- Mid-Ocean Ridges
- Subduction zones
- Mountain Belts
- Transform Regions
- Plate Kinematics
- Plate Dynamics
- Stress and Strain
- Flexure of the Lithosphere
- Mechanism of Deformation at microscopic and macroscopic scales
- Interior of the Earth
- Gravity and Geoid
- Heat Flow
- Convective Flow (Fluid dynamics and mantle convection)
- Earth's evolution

It's been a busy month for secret half-sister. First, Lindsay Lohan's father Michael was in the news for fathering a child out wedlock and now it looks like Katy Perry's father also has a child that he's distanced himself from.
Perry's pastor dad Keith Hudson, who gave the brunette beauty a strict Christian upbringing, has 43-year-old Jodi Hudson from his first marriage and she has hit out at her estranged father after he recently uploaded a video on YouTube advising parents, "Don't close the door on your children."
She told America's Star magazine "This man is preaching something he should have done himself. I broke down when I saw that video. He completely abandoned me when I was a child and has had almost nothing to do with me throughout my life. I spent a night in my father's house in Santa Barbara when Katy was about four or five. I didn't know what a father was. My mother hyped up the fact that I was going to see him. When he walked in the room, he said, 'Get out of my way, kid. I'm here to see your mother.' "
While Jodi clearly feels resentful towards her father, she doesn't feel the same about the 28-year-old pop star, who also has a sister, Angela, 30, and 24-year-old brother David. She explained "It is hurtful that I am kept a secret but I have nothing bad to say about her."

Video Vault:
1) Danny Nowell of MagicBasketball.net went searching for answers in the third quarter of Game Two and seems to conclude that the Magic have a big problem with its offense, especially in the screen and roll. It is one of the reasons I suggested that the Magic run a lot more secondary action and create safety valves in the offense. The offense remains a major concern as the Magic enter Game Three, Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel writes. The emphasis at shootaround this morning was on patience.
2) Mike Bianchi of the Orlando Sentinel is concerned that the Magic's true captain, Jameer Nelson, might be playing his last games in a Magic uniform.
3) Both the Magic and the Pacers hope to return to their strengths in Game Three.
4) Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel says the big key to the Magic getting a Game Three win is for the Magic to sustain their energy throughout the entire game. The increased intensity is what they felt was missing in Game Two.
5) Cosmopolitan named J.J. Redick the hottest player in the NBA. Sorry, ladies, he is taken. (h/t Jason McIntyre of Big Lead Sports)
6) Patrick Ewing's name has begun to surface among the candidates to fill the now-vacant head coaching position in Charlotte, Iliana Limon of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
7) Tyson Chandler has won the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year Award according to numerous reports, ending Dwight Howard's three-year reign as the league's top defender.

Powerful Boston Magazine cover pays tribute to Boston Marathon
We've already seen one powerful magazine cover related to the Boston Marathon from Sports Illustrated, now it's the turn of Boston Magazine. The local cover doesn't use a picture from the events of Patriots Day but rather forms a concentric heart with different color running shoes around the words "We Will Finish The Race." A powerful, yet simple way to summarize the heartfelt way in which the city and the country came together under the banner of Boston Strong.
