What are they feeding those alligators in Mississippi!!?? Hunting season just opened, here's first-time hunter Beth Trammel and her family showed off a huge one, which is a new state record...723.5 pounds. They caught the thing at night outside Vicksburg, and recorded video.
But, just when the Trammels thought they had closed the record books...Dustin Bockman and his hunting party were chasing another giant gator 40 miles north along the Mississippi River. They chased the animal for two hours with their bows, rods and reels, and it was too heavy to lift into their boat.
"It was ten times harder to put him in the boat than it was to actually kill him. We tried for four hours, every method we could think of, to try to put him in the boat. We finally got him rolled him in the boat with help," says Bockman.
By the time they got it to state officials, they were exhausted. But, according to the scales, they were the new record holders...nearly 13-1/2 feet and 727 pounds. The old record lasted just an hour.
"When I really got excited is when we finally got home because we didn't have a tape measure in the boat...so when we got home, he was bigger than any of us had guessed," Bockman says.
Across Mississippi, especially in the southern part of the state, alligator hunting is a both a sport and a tool...a good way to reduce the number of aggressive beasts showing up in backyards.
The record holders plan to eat their prize soon. We hear it tastes like chicken. Bockman says he also plans for a new pair of boots. "It being a state record, I'm gonna get it cut up, get the meat, tan the hyde...and get a bunch of stuff made out of it," he says.

Hello all
I am trying to find a better online company to work for.... I hope someone out there can help me....
I am curently working for tutorabc and I have completed over 1000 classes, They provide all the class material, clients software etc... they make it really easy and they have as many classes available as you can teach....However the drawback is that is only pays $10 USD for each 45 min class. I am trying to find another online company to try working for with a similar platform. I don't want to make up my lesson plans, want simplicity...
I am hoping to find something that pays between $12-$15 USD a class.... There are so many companies out there it makes my head spin...
I thought we could use this thread to throw ideas around. I would be happy to share with you my experiences also.... Englishtown is another that is similar to tutorabc but again it is only $10 USD a class
What type of feedback is that??
This is a friendly thread, why would you make a comment like that?
Big money????? Do you know what big money is???? haha
If I wanted to make my own lesson plans and post my profile and try to build my own business there are 1000 sites like that out there and you can charge easily $20-$30 USD a class, I would define that as big money teaching english.... However $12-$15 USD a class is hardly big money.....
This thread was for positive comments only .....
Where teaching's just following a set of instructions, regardless of whether it's on the web or in the classroom, the pay will always be lower. I think Fivejedjon is right about that. A method that removes the teacher's creativity, is de-skilling and will always be worked towards maximising the profits of those who created the materials used. One of the main points about rigid methodologies is that the teacher is a low value item in the chain. There might be places operating the same sort of system but paying a bit more, but prices at that end of the business do tend to be same-y.
OK thanks for the replies guys.....
Well maybe I will have to get my buy in gear and start working at getting lesson plans prepared....
I have never worked on any of the other websites like "myngle" or any other ones..
I do have about 50 lessons plans right now ready to go, I guess I could give it a try....
Can anyone help direct me in the right direction?? My mind is blown with all the sites out there and it seems like they are flooded with tutors...
Here are my qualifications:
TEFL certified
Taught at University level... Tech De Monterray in Mexico.... Very highly credited University
More than 1000 classes with tutorabc
Owned my own school, private and group classes....
Any suggestions would be a great help
Get my but in gear.... LOL
There are sites like Online Tutors All Subjects. 1-on-1 Tutoring where you can offer services for the price you want- mind you, I haven't used them so I don't know how much work they generate.

We would like to be able to handle modification of BW query directly in Production. However, we would like to control this process. We imagined the following process:
- Copy the query to modify
- Make change to this copy and test it
- If test are successful, overwrite the original query with the modified copy
We would like to keep the original query because it may be embedded in workbook or web template.
However, this process doesn't work because it is not possible to overwrite an existing query. Has anybody imagined another process to handle this situation ?
Many thanks.
I guess overwriting of query is not possible only the steps one and two which u do will work....i.e copy the query and change it according to your wish but u cant overwrite this changed one on the original...
because the changed one may not have all the things in the original... the technical name can be twice...
only thing to recover technical name also is to delete the original ...copy the changed one with the technical name of the original now( it allows as original is deleted.)
Please note that you cannot delete query if it is embedded in an Excel workbook because the workbook contains the internal ID of the query and not its technical name. That's why we want (if possible) to keep the original query.
What I am looking for are some examples of a formal process for modifying queries directly in production (a process that also handles associated workbooks or/and web templates).
Were you ever able to get a solution for your issue of overwriting a query. I have the same requirement - keep the name of the query same so that none of the workbooks are impacted.
Changing queries directly in production is usually fine - but then you might run into issues when you try and transport the same query across the landscape...
might be of help....
Hi Arun,
hi Arun.
I have very complex Query in Quality .. Production.
1) I have created one RKF directly in Quality with out techical name
2) I have created one formula directly in Quality with out techical name
3) Hidden some RKF in Query Properties in Quality Directly.
I know what changes i made . Next when i am transporting Do i face any issue.
Since it is very very complex Query, i do not want to take a chance.
1) shall i delete the RKF & Formula, unhide the RKF that i created in Quality
and recreate it in Dev and transport it to Quality then to Production.
2) Or Can i create the same RKF ,Formula , hide the RKF which is presently
hidden in Quality and transport it with out deleting the above in Quality.
( assuming that ,i will overwrite .. I saw your blog , it does not overwrite)
What is the best way to make the next transport successful.
Advance thanks
is the original query available in your test system and is it exactly the same as the one in production?
if yes, then i guess you have kept the original copy in place (only that it is in the test system and when your query in production
screws up, you need to retransport the query from the test system).
You may also want to copy the query to another query name and edit the original copy. that way you can revert back to the original design based on the copied query. just make sure you properly document the changes you will be making.
i don't think the changes you will be doing will be that complicated if you only touch the query designer and if you are only changing one query.

One Utahn dies as a result of suicide every day.
New Reports Detail Utah Suicides and Suicide Attempts
Since 2010, an average of 501 Utahns died from suicide and 3,968 more were hospitalized or treated in an emergency department due to injuries from a suicide attempt. The data show that:
Suicide in Young Adults (18-24)
More Utahns are treated in an emergency department or hospitalized due to suicide attempts than are fatally injured. Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death for Utah youth ages 10-17 and Utah young adults ages 18-24. Suicide is also the 4th leading cause of death for Utah adults ages 24-64. On average,
Men ages 25-64 account for more than half (56.2%) of all suicide deaths in Utah, followed by women ages 25-64 (17.2%), young adults ages 18-24 (11.8%), older adults ages 65+ (10.7%), and youth ages 10-17 (4.0%). While males had higher rates of suicide death than females, more females attempt suicide (resulting in hospitalization or visit to an emergency department) than males. Nationally, suicide rates among adults ages 35-64 has increased significantly by 28% (Source: CDC).
Infographics on Youth Suicide and Suicide in Utah
Utah's suicide rate has been consistently higher than the U.S. rate for the last decade. A recent CDC study found that Utah had the highest prevalance of suicidal thoughts among adults in the U.S. In addition, Utah has the
Additional data on sucides in Utah can be found in the Suicide in Utah, 2006-2010 reports (Youth, Young Adult, Women, Men, and Older Adults).
The data in these reports point to age-specific circumstances and stressors surrounding risk for suicide deaths in Utah. For example, youth who completed suicide were more likely to have school and other relationship problems, while young adults were more likely to have intimate partner problems. Among adults, the data show many suffered from a diagnosed mental illness. Adult men in particular face a myriad of other risk factors, including alcohol and substance abuse and job or financial problems. Older adults were more likely to suffer from physical health problems that may have prompted the suicide.

Delaware State Police have identified the victim of a fatal crash early Saturday morning in Wilmington.
According to state police, 47-year-old John Davis of Wilmington was killed in the crash shortly after 1 a.m. on the northbound lane of I495 just north of North DuPont Highway.
Police say Davis was wearing dark clothing and was standing in the roadway when he was struck by a truck with a tanker trailer attached to it.
Another vehicle, a Honda Accord, struck Davis a second time, after the driver was not able to see his body, police said. Emergency responders pronounced Davis dead at the scene.
The drivers of each vehicle were not injured.
The accident left the area of I495 closed for three hours.
State Police say their investigation is ongoing.

South Central High School teacher Victoria Bridgers says all teachers face the same challenge.
"Keeping the students engaged, keeping them from getting bored," she says.
To grab their attention, she flipped the script by using a new teaching method appropriately called "flipping the classroom."
Here's how it works: Instead of delivering a long-winded lecture, then assigning homework, Bridgers flips it by pre-recording short lessons and posting them online.
Students watch the videos at their own pace as homework, then come to class prepared to do hands-on activities and in-depth collaborative projects.
"It provided more insight," says junior Tyler Ropiewnicki. "It allowed me to read the articles more closely because I had classmates relying on my knowledge of this article to pull together with theirs and create a basic understanding of what information we were going over."
But what about the kids who don't have internet access at home?
That's where "spinning" comes in; Students still watch pre-made video lessons, but do it in class before starting exercises.
In both scenarios, teachers act as facilitators, answering questions and reviewing tough concepts.
"It's definitely more individualized because our teacher's not focused on so much as what slide is next," says junior Joshua Hokum. "But it's 'How can I help you? What questions do you have?'"
Still, there's no hard research to support the strategy, with some education experts even saying it doesn't translate to better grades.
But local teachers who have used the method say it works.
"I have seen quiz grades go from in the 60-70 range, to now my students are consistently scoring in the 80-90 range on those same kinds of quizzes, same level of questions," says social studies teacher Nicki Griffin.
About 20 percent of teachers at South Central High School in Winterville have made the switch. Nationally, the Flipped Learning Network, a nonprofit that helps teachers flip the classroom, reports membership has jumped from just 2,500 teachers to 11,000 in just a year.

why are african americans so intolerant of others?
by gladiatorsback, Fri Nov 07, 2008 at 04:01:53 PM EST
For me its personal.. as personal as it is for african americans to see Obama become president.. firstly my post election analysis.. GOOD Obama won.. congrats to him.. we made it happen.. we saw history happen and contributed to it with our support. and good that Mccain lost.. failed bush policies and markets still reeling :(
Having said that.. I want to know why African americans are so intolerant towards other minorities? Why did 80% of AA vote in support of prop8. Why do these people hate people who are different than them?

On the eve of the Lee County School Board having to answer to allegations regarding Superintendent Dr. Joseph Burke, new documents obtained by the NBC2 investigators shed light on one of the points being questioned.
The Department of Education wants to know if Dr. Burke suspended an active investigation concerning administrator Dr. Deedara Hicks.
These 256 pages show that in August 2012, the state began looking into allegations that Hicks came to work under the influence of alcohol.
The state has since dropped that investigation saying "at this time, further action by this office is not warranted."
But it seems it's the call by Superintendent Burke to stop the investigation before it got started that has the state asking questions.
According to the investigative report, on August 11, 2011, Hicks was "observed by colleagues to have difficulty walking, staying awake, speaking, and emitted the odor of alcohol."
Five months later, a coordinator in the district began collecting statements about Hicks' alleged action without Dr. Burke's knowledge.
After that, Burke contacted multiple people at the district and state level, even the Commissioner of Education, asking for the investigation to be "dismissed."
The documents also contain a letter from Dr. Burke to state investigators saying he never smelled alcohol on Dr. Hicks and concluded, quote, "she was having medical issues again."
Dr. Burke goes on to say the allegations were launched by a "disgruntled" former employee.
Now, the board will have to respond to Dr. Burke's involvement into this investigation at a special board meeting Tuesday at 2 p.m.
The board will also have to answer to the state about two more points:
One, suggestions Dr. Burke moved $1.6 million in grant money to another account without board approval.
And two, whether Dr. Burke spent $293,000 in grant money on top level administrators instead of students in the classroom.

After reading all the previous reviews I was ready and prepared to work an average of 2 hours on setting this lighting fixture up but no, it took me all of 30 minutes because of all your comments. I knew what to expect. This is one of the most beautiful items I have purchased online! It is hanging in my dining room and it was just hung today. I have had folks drive by my house and knock on my door and ask about it. I really don't want to tell them where I got it because I don't want everyone to have it because it is special :-) It is so beautiful in my room. I wish we can share pictures of all of our room transformations! Thank you O!
Love this chandelier's style! I placed two above my kitchen island and I get so many compliments. I would not rely on this chandelier to function as my kitchen's primary light source. It casts a beautiful spectrum of shadows onto the wall, which is not exactly ideal for workspace lighting...but I wanted my chandeliers to be statement pieces and they are. (We also replaced regular bulbs with fluorescent and that helped eliminate the shadowing effect, per my husband's request.) The "crystals" were not difficult to attach, tedious, but not difficult and certainly worth every minute :) Love, love, love these lights!
The chandelier looks beautiful hanging in my dining room. I love the light reflection it gives on the ceiling. It's very romantic. :-) It did take me about 45 minutes to put all the crystals together but it's not difficult at all, it's just a time consuming task because there's so many of them but that's why it looks beautiful. I have received so many compliments. Overall we are very pleased with the purchase. It arrived in less time than expected too! Thank you Overstock.
This chandelier was one of the best purchases I have made this year! The entire chandelier came boxed very well and wrapped in plastic. I would recommend hanging it first, attaching bottom crystals and then removing the plastic to avoid fingerprints. It looks amazing and expensive! I have had it up for months and still am in love with this purchase every time I see it in my dining room!
I'm remodeling a 100 year old home, and this was the perfect chandelier for this home. It hangs in my studio, and it is the first thing you see when you come through the door. Absolutely beautiful. I did have to put the crystals together, but it was simple and did not take long. Love this chandelier.
Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous light- I have this above my dining room table and every person that comes in my house compliments this chandelier. My father was able to install it very easily and it is on a dimmer- the reflection when the light is dimmed is spectacualr as it is shines through the crystals. The effect is beautiful and I am so happy with the purchase!!!!!
So I was searching for a new light fixture for a month or so when I came across a few on overstock, including this one. After reading the reviews about how many pieces the chandelier came in, I almost went with another fixture- but I am so happy I got this one. The drum part of the chandelier already had all of the crystals installed and the only thing I had to do was attach the dangling pieces. Totally easy! A word of caution though, the crystals are plastic so they can scratch easily if you are careless. I am very pleased with the purchase!
Beautiful lamp and priced very well! I've seen similar styles in retail stores such as Z Gallery at much higher prices. This is a great buy and was easy to assemble!
I've been searching for a chandelier for our dinning room. This is the perfect one and you can't beat the price! Someone before us must have returned the item after putting most of it together, so we didn't have much to assemble. However, if it wasn't it would have taken us hours to complete. I was a little worried that it would be too small for our dinning room, but because it is so sparkly, you don't need to it be any bigger. You can tell when looking at it close up that the metal is not the highest quality, but for the price I would expect that. Overall, great find!
This chandelier sits beautifully in my dining room! I haven't installed the crystals yet, as my home is being renovated and the contractors are still int he home. However, without the crystals it is still a beautiful piece. I will post a picture once the dining room is complete!

According to ESPN New York, the A.J. Burnett trade from the Yankees to the Pirates is complete:
Burnett passed a physical and the commissioner's office signed off on the deal, sources said Sunday.
But wait! Richard Griffin, a sportswriter in Toronto -- a city that isn't New York or Pittsburgh -- thinks the trade should have been voided by the commissioner's office. And why is this?
It's great for the Pirates because they are not a real contender and now have a short-term starting ace who won't get attached and be looking for something awkward — like, say, an extension. It's great for the Yankees because now they can add in other areas and win it all again.
No risk for the Yankees and plenty of reward.
Something doesn't make sense.
Hold on just a moment here. So as I understand it, this is a good deal for both teams and so... it should be voided?
But wait, there's more:
The commissioner's office should consider how that bad Burnett contract impacted other similar free agents in the winter of 2008-09 and the next off-season and how it had a negative trickle down effect that hurt small market teams like Pittsburgh.
Translation: the Yankees overpaid three years ago and it hurt the Pirates, so because this deal might help the Pirates now, it should be voided.
I can't make any sense of this. Can you? There's one more reason Griffin gives:
36 years ago, cantankerous, contrarian A's owner, Charles O. Finley had reacted pre-emptively to free agency with a fire-sale of all-stars, shipping soon-to-be-free outfielder Joe Rudi and closer Rollie Fingers to the Red Sox and lefty Vida Blue to the Yankees for cash totalling under $2 million (U.S).
And Commissioner Bowie Kuhn voided that deal. In my opinion, Kuhn did baseball a grave disservice with that ruling. Finley was doing exactly what former A's owner Connie Mack had done decades before -- break up a winning team, then build a new one. With all the money he'd have received from those deals -- and $2 million was a lot of money in baseball in 1976 -- Finley could have done it again; instead, the players left via free agency and Finley, under the rules of the time, got nothing.
Griffin seems to think this was OK, too. What a strange piece of sportswriting.

The next time you reach in the medicine cabinet, take a hard look at the pills you're about to swallow.
A growing number of doctors say some are for diseases created to sell the drugs you take.
A quick search on the Internet and you will see the commercials.
"Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go right now."
"Over 10 million Americans suffer. Do you?"
Warning you about symptoms for diseases you may never have heard of before.
"May be a symptom of a more serious condition called GERD."
They make you wonder. Do you have it? Do you need to treat it?
"It's not very difficult to make people feel like they're not normal," says Georgetown University's Dr. Adriane Fugh-Berman. "They might say, 'Do you urinate more than five times a day?' And the viewer is thinking, 'Gee, doesn't everyone? I'm not really keeping track of how many times my office mates are going to the bathroom.' Maybe I'm not normal."
Dr. Fugh-Berman is creating a buzz in the medical world because she says pharmaceutical companies are marketing drugs before they have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
She says they don't advertise the drug. Instead, they sell the disease.
"What industry does is invent conditions, invent diseases in order to expand the market for a drug," she says.
Dr. Fugh-Berman uses this fictitious example:
Let's give the gurgles and rumbles that come with an empty stomach a new medical name.
We'll call it Gurglerumblitis.
A drug company discovers a drug that prevents Gurglerumblitis.
Since it is illegal to promote a drug before it has been approved, Dr. Fugh-Berman says the company will spend the next decade paying doctors to go to medical conferences to warn other doctors about a new disease called "Chronic Loud Atypical Stomach Sounds" or CLASS.
"By the time the drug comes out, both prescribers and patients are relieved that finally here's this answer to this problem I have been hearing about for years," Dr. Fugh-Berman says.
Diseases she says you should be wary of include:
- Overactive Bladder Syndrome
- Social Anxiety Disorder
- Osteopenia
- Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease or GERD
- Pediatric Bipolar Syndrome
"Pediatric Bipolar Disorder is the Terrible Twos," says Dr. Fugh-Berman. "You know how two year-olds are happy one minute and then crying the next? There were physicians at Harvard and other places who were hired by drug companies to go out and convince physicians this was a real disorder. This wasn't just a normal developmental phase, but this was a disease. And we started, as a profession, giving babies cocktails of potent anti-psychotics and some kids died."
"It's brainwashing. [It] is what it amounts to," says Dr. Sidney Wolfe with the non-profit watchdog Public Citizen.
Dr. Wolfe published "Worst Pills, Best Pills," an online encyclopedia of drugs and important information every patient should know before taking those drugs.
Dr. Wolfe says when whistleblowers or company insiders come forward, the FDA can crack down on illegal marketing techniques.
The FDA fined Pfizer a record $2.3 billion in 2009.
But Dr. Wolfe says even that much money wasn't enough because the government alleged it takes just three weeks for Pfizer to make that same amount in sales.
"Until people go to jail and until the criminal penalties are really in the realm of what the company made in terms of profits, it's going to keep going on," Dr. Wolfe says.
Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America or PhRMA declined FOX 5's request for an on-camera interview, but in a statement says:
"It is irresponsible to suggest that certain conditions are fabricated or exaggerated … patients who live with these conditions do not 'decide' to take medicines to treat the conditions. Rather, they rely on physicians, who make the prescribing decisions that they feel are best for each individual patient."
But Dr. Fugh-Berman says that is the whole problem.
She says as many as 80 percent of doctors accept payments, free travel or other freebies from drug companies.
"We were interested in seeing how much money doctors were receiving from the pharmaceutical industry for speaking on their behalf, for consulting on their behalf," says Charles Omstein with the journalism non-profit ProPublica.
Omstein helped create a database that lets you type in the names of your doctors to see if they have accepted money from drug companies.
He says there are tens of thousands of doctors in the database ranging from big university names to small rural physicians.
"If you see your doctor's name in the database, it doesn't mean that your doctor has done anything wrong," says Omstein. "But what it does mean is you have the right to ask your doctor questions. What do they do for that money? Are they more likely to prescribe a drug that has more side effects or is more expensive instead of a generic?"
Omstein warns some drug companies haven't released names to the public, so the list isn't complete.
So Dr. Fugh-Berman says you should also look for these warning signs at your next doctor's visit:
- Promotional items with drug company names on them
- Free drug samples
- Salespeople pulling/carrying suitcases into the doctor's office
Dr. Fugh-Berman says every patient should ask their doctor hard questions about the drugs they are prescribing because only you pay the ultimate price.
"The physician isn't the one taking the risk of that drug and the physician isn't the one who's paying for it," she says. "You the patient are paying for that drug and taking the risk of that drug."

- Rangers rest Cruz as Murphy gets in lineup
- Blanco healing slower than Rangers expected
- Oliver hopes extended rest keeps him strong
- Worth noting
ANAHEIM -- The Rangers' 12-game winning streak has caught national attention, but it is also being pointed out who they have been playing. The first 11 wins came against the Orioles, Athletics and Mariners, teams with three of the four worst records in the American League."All the other clubs -- Boston, New York -- they're playing the same teams," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "Did they sweep them? I don't know. But when you're playing good baseball, it doesn't matter. If you want the opportunity to play in the postseason, you've got to play well in the division. "I'll take the way we're playing baseball. If we play that way against anybody, we'll beat them. Maybe not 12 in a row, but we'll beat them." The Rangers have pitched well in this stretch, especially against the Mariners and Athletics. Those two are last in the AL in hitting and runs scored. But the Rangers are also hitting .321 with a .549 slugging percentage and 6.4 runs per game during the streak. Their three division foes may be struggling offensively, but they remain the top three in the league in team ERA. The Rangers have also committed just three errors during the streak. Quality of opposition rarely has something to do with how well a team is playing defense. "If we play good baseball, we're going to win more than we lose," Washington said. "If we lose playing good baseball, that means the other team played better than we did. I can live with that. I just want us to play good baseball."
Rangers rest Cruz as Murphy gets in lineup
ANAHEIM -- Nelson Cruz was out of the Rangers' lineup on Wednesday night. Manager Ron Washington thought Cruz could use a rest, and this gave him a chance to get David Murphy in the lineup.Cruz was hitting .167 with just one home run and four RBIs in his last 10 games while Murphy started just once in the first five games after the All-Star break. "I don't think I'd ever pull Cruz out of the lineup because of performance because one swing of the bat can give us some runs," Washington said. "I just wanted to give him a rest. I feel like he needs it." Prior to this skid, Cruz went through a 16-game stretch in which he hit .343 with eight doubles, a triple, five home runs and 18 RBIs as well as a .716 slugging percentage. "He's a streaky hitter, but there are times he is consistent," Washington said. "Right now he is experiencing a little adversity, but it will make him a better player." This was only the sixth start for Murphy since he played three in a row against the Mets on June 24-26. He is hitting .389 (7-for-18) for the month of July, but his playing time has been sporadic with the platoon of Endy Chavez and Craig Gentry working so well in center field. But Murphy insists the sporadic playing time is not bothering him. "It's been awesome," he said. "We've won 12 in a row. How could it not be awesome? I feel like I have always had a team-first mentality. I want to be on the field as much as possible, but regardless of whether I'm playing or not, we're winning games. "It's more challenging. It's not like I've never dealt with this before but is as sporadic as my playing time has been. So when you get your work in during batting practice or the games, you really have to focus. Other than that my body feels great when I get on the field."
Blanco healing slower than Rangers expected
ANAHEIM -- Rangers shortstop Andres Blanco, sidelined with a stress reaction in his back, is eligible to come off the disabled list on Friday. That's not going to happen. Blanco has still not taken meaningful batting practice since being placed on the disabled list.The Rangers thought it might happen in Seattle, and it did not. He also hasn't been able to go full bore with the bat in Anaheim. He is hoping to be able to take live batting practice this weekend when the team returns to Arlington. "I feel like it's still there," Blanco said. "It's taken a little while more than I thought. I'm working every day, but it's kind of frustrating ... 10-20 minutes and I'm done for the day." Omar Quintanilla was called up from Triple-A Round Rock to replace Blanco as the backup shortstop but hasn't yet played. With the All-Star break and the day off on Monday, manager Ron Washington hasn't seen a need to sit Elvis Andrus.
Oliver hopes extended rest keeps him strong
ANAHEIM -- Reliever Darren Oliver took over for Alexi Ogando in the ninth inning on Tuesday and retired the side in order. It was the first time he has been on the mound in 10 days as the Rangers' fantastic run of starting pitching has reduced the workload of everybody in the bullpen.The Rangers hope a reduced workload benefits Oliver. Last season he had 39 appearances and 39 innings before the All-Star break. This season he had 36 appearances and 33 innings. This difference may be negligible, but the difference between before and after the All-Star break last season was not. He had a 1.36 ERA before the break and a 4.50 ERA after. One of the reasons why the Rangers signed Arthur Rhodes this offseason was to reduce Oliver's workload. "I still felt pretty good last year," Oliver said. "It definitely helps getting the extra rest."
Worth noting
Manager Ron Washington said he still plans on catching Mike Napoli on Thursday afternoon. Yorvit Torrealba started on Wednesday night. Adrian Beltre hit his 20th home run on Tuesday night. Nelson Cruz has 21, and the Rangers are only one of three teams with two 20-home run bats in the lineup. The others are Mark Teixeira and Curtis Granderson with the Yankees and Lance Berkman and Albert Pujols with the Cardinals. The Rangers entered Wednesday's game having allowed two runs in six games. The only other team to do that over a six-game stretch was the 1974 Baltimore Orioles. They won, 7-1, on Sept. 1, then pitched five straight shutouts before winning, 3-2, on Sept. 7.

Is this the most common way that WAP developers are requesting information from servers? Is there a simpler way?

Opening Hours: Hove Sorting Office
We the undersigned call on Royal Mail to extend the opening hours of its Hove Sorting Office, which provides a vital parcel collection service to local residents. We consider the existing opening hours of 7.30am to 1.30pm during weekdays, and 7.30am to 12pm on Saturdays, to be inflexible, particularly for working people. We request that improved opportunities to collect parcels are introduced. Specifically we request new, longer opening hours to include weekday evenings and longer opening times during weekends. We further request that Royal Mail improves its service to people by working to reduce long queues at busy times.

Bradley Handwerger / WWLTV.com Sports Reporter
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com | Twitter: @wwltvsports
NEW ORLEANS — Take a good look at Joe Flacco today.
He might just be part of a dying breed of NFL quarterbacks.
For, on the other sideline will be Colin Kaepernick, the best of the new breed of athlete running the show.
No less than Super Bowl XLVII is on the line.
And, too, maybe NFL offensive philosophies.
"It's possible that it is here to stay; don't make any predictions on that," 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said. "I think that it's been successful for us because of the players that we have executing it. I think they're extremely good at it."
With Kaepernick, the San Francisco offense has molded from traditional drop-back passing to a hybrid of a passing offense and one that employs the read-option.
The second-year quarterback was successful using it – it's called the Pistol Formation – at Nevada. New he's showing, along with Washington's Robert Griffin III and Seattle's Russell Wilson, that you can't just ignore the signal caller.
It's unlike the fads of the past, the Run-and-Shoot or the Wildcat.
"I think this one is here to stay because it stresses the defense more than those other ones," 49ers defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said. "Those other ones were heavy pass. One was heavy run. This stresses you on both sides."
Not everyone is sold.
Playing directly against Kaepernick is Baltimore safety Bernard Pollard, a hard-hitting, athletic safety.
"You invest all of this money in a quarterback and you put him out there on an island where when they start running, they're no longer protected," Pollard said. "In the day and age that we're playing in, they're protected if they're going to throw. But if they are going to do all of this handing off and wanting to run, then they're not protected."
Pollard's teammate Haloti Ngata isn't sure the read-option can't be figured out.
The beefy nose tackle in Baltimore's 3-4 defense recognizes the difficulty in stopping it. But he doesn't think it's impossible.
"When we played Washington with RG III, they hit us in the beginning of the game with a bunch of read option and pistol formation plays," Ngata said. "We had to adjust, and once we did, we did better. Hopefully, it doesn't take us too long to adjust (on Sunday), and hopefully the things that we've been practicing will work. We can't hesitate, and they've been successful getting a lot of teams to hesitate and guess."
Still, the 49ers have shown that Kaepernick and the offense can be successful. What he does, both with his feet and his arm, makes it hard on defenses.
More than anything, though, it's less about the offense and more about the players running it and it starts with the quarterback.
"You have to have a smart quarterback and (Kaepernick) is one of the smartest out there," 49ers running back LaMichael James said. "He makes all the right reads, all the right checks at the line. He does a great job with everything. Anytime you have a quarterback like that who can run, throw the ball and is super smart--he is a bonus back there."
So get a good look at Flacco because in the future, he may be the rarity. Not Kaepernick.
Today's game could go a long way in facilitating that change.

Message from the Principal, Charlotte Morris
Welcome to Trillium Creek Primary School! In this, our second year, Trillium Creek Primary is filled with the sounds of children learning, exploring, collaborating, and playing. As principal, I am excited to be working alongside students, staff and families in this modern building and beautiful learning environment. Together we are building the foundation for Trillium Creek Primary in becoming an exceptional primary school in this the 21st Century.
The name of the school, Trillium Creek, is a powerful metaphor. Each spring, the water in Trillium Creek bubbles up, connecting to other waterways along its route. It meanders down the hill flowing through the neighborhoods, into the Willamette River, and eventually the world beyond. Just like Trillium Creek, every child who attends our school has a beginning in this special place that fosters academic learning, inquiry, resilience, and the habits of mind that support future successes. Children come to school filled with childhood curiosities and move from here to the world beyond with a deepened sense of who they are as learners, thinkers, creators, and members of the larger community. Thus, the time each child spends at Trillium Creek Primary lays a foundation for future schooling and career paths.
And so, the Trillium Creek Primary School story continues! We will persist in seeking ways to establish a worthwhile foundation and collaborative relationships along our journey. One day, we will all look back and tell the story of being part of the beginning of this dynamic, engaging school community. I invite you to join us on this incredible and exciting journey!
2:00 PM - 2:30 PM New Student Welcome
2:30 PM - 3:30 PM Open House: Meet the Teacher

After batting a Hail Mary pass right into the hands of Jaguars WR Mike Thomas for a game-winning touchdown two weeks ago and breaking his right hand in the next game, Quin — and the entire team for that matter — entered Week 12 in need of a pick-me-up. A rookie quarterback making his first career start was willing to oblige. Quin, who had not made an interception in the first 25 games of his career, picked off Titans QB Rusty Smith three times, setting a franchise record, and helped Houston hold Tennessee to 138 passing yards. "It was a great feeling," Quin said. "These last two weeks have been supertough." The second-year corner had four tackles, one quarterback hit and five total pass breakups in Houston's 20-0 win.
Shaun Suisham / PK / Pittsburgh Steelers
On a day when the last-place Bills gave the Steelers all they could handle, one of Pittsburgh's newcomers delivered a clutch performance. Suisham, a fifth-year veteran who signed with the Steelers on Nov. 16 after PK Jeff Reed was released, made all four of his field-goal tries, including the game-winner with 2:14 left in overtime. Suisham connected on a 45-yarder in his first attempt, he gave the Steelers a 13-0 lead with a 46-yarder, broke a 13-13 tie with a 48-yard boot and made the 41-yarder to give the Steelers a 19-16 win. "How 'bout Shaun banging field goals for us?" head coach Mike Tomlin said. "He's now a Steeler - Casey Hampton and others know his name now."

Many of you have been contacting us about high utility bills during these hot summer days and we're getting answers on how you can save money and stay cool at the same time.
We all know the easy ways to save money on our utility bills.
"The easiest thing you can do is replace your filter in a timely manner," said Bruce Joyner, Assistant Manager at Lowe's Home Improvement.
But what about the lesser known methods that could really save you the big bucks? Joyner says a quick update to your old thermostat is always a great start, especially with new technology built right into the units.
"Just ease of access. It's wi-fi capable so you can have access from your smart phone," said Joyner but they can be pricey, so we found some cheaper alternatives.
Using the right burner is really important. If you use a small burner for a big pot you're going to use more energy to heat it up and that's more money. You also want to consider air-drying your dishes after they've washing in the dishwasher or maybe just wash them by hand.
Your pets might enjoy looking out the window but it's costing you money so when you're not at home it's best to just close them.
"Obviously as much sun as you can keep out of the house the cooler it's going to be," said Joyner.
If you just can't bring yourself to close your blinds, you can purchase do-it-yourself window tinting kits around $40 and look professional.
You might think you can save money by taking a bath since you're using less water but, the truth is, you're not. You're actually using more than a shower, unless you're the shower type who take 30-45 minutes.
Finally, make sure your AC unit is in the right size for your home. A unit that's too large for your home will use more energy than necessary.
Some utility companies offer free energy surveys for residential properties. Those are great ways to find out exactly what you need done to your home to save money.

How to Be An Opposition Party
by Chris Bowers, Fri Nov 19, 2004 at 11:36:55 AM EST
I will fight for a national standard for federal elections that has both transparency and accountability in our voting system. It's unacceptable in the United States that people still don't have full confidence in the integrity of the voting process.
I ask you to join me in this cause.
And we must fight not only against George Bush's extreme policies -- we must also uphold our own values. This is why on the first day Congress is in session next year, I will introduce a bill to provide every child in America with health insurance. And, with your help, that legislation will be accompanied by the support of hundreds of thousands of Americans.
There are more than eight million uninsured children in our nation. That's eight million reasons for us to stay together and fight for a new direction. It is a disgrace that in the wealthiest nation on earth, eight million children go without health insurance.
Normally, a member of the Senate will first approach other senators and ask them to co-sponsor a bill before it is introduced -- instead, I am turning to you. Imagine the power of a bill co-sponsored by hundreds of thousands of Americans being presented on the floor of the United States Senate. You can make it happen. Sign our "Every Child Protected" pledge today and forward it to your family, friends, and neighbors:Demanding that every vote is counted. Demanding massive election reform. Taking your opposition policies directly to the people. This is very encouraging.
Sign the petition here.

The fastest growing area in Kamloops — and the one with the most land to allow that growth — faces the possibility of the Ajax gold and copper mine being its neighbour.
That wasn't in the cards when the City adopted the Aberdeen Area Plan on Nov. 18, 2008. It called for the need to accommodate more than 10,000 new residents in Aberdeen in the coming years.
That area designated for future growth could now include Ajax's tailings storage, a waste rock pile, processing plant, waste crusher and process and runoff ponds. The mine itself is just outside the boundary, 1.75 kilometres from the nearest existing homes.
"It's the biggest area we have for growth," said City community and development manager Randy Lambright.
The City projects Kamloops' population to reach 126,000 by 2036. Half of that growth is expected in the southwest, 20 per cent as infill in the downtown and Tranquille market areas and 10 per cent each in the southeast, northeast (including Sun Rivers) and northwest.
"So it's a critical part of our growth strategy," he said.
Mayor Peter Milobar said the City will seek information before taking a stand, but it has no final say in the mine's approval. That's in the hands of federal and provincial officials.
"I know it seems like we're trying to pass the buck or not take responsibility. I don't want to mislead people into thinking we have more power than we actually have," he said.
At this stage, City council and staff are putting together a list of questions to go to Ajax mine proponent Abacus for study and detailed answers.
"We're trying to gather as much information as we can. We will share it with the public when we get it," said Milobar.
Residents have to remember Kamloops has a history of reliance on resource industries, he said. "With our geography that we have and the resources surrounding us and we're the geographic hub of those resources, it's going to be a significant part of our economy for some time to come."
"To think we won't still have some form of resource-based economy here when we're in the middle of rocks and trees, that's a little unrealistic, too."
On the other hand, the Kamloops economy has been moving away from relying too heavily on those rocks and trees, he noted.
"As our economy keeps diversifying, the resource sector will be less of the dominant players. But to think they won't exist or be fairly significant, we'd be kidding ourselves."
Coun. Pat Wallace said she loves Kamloops the way it is, but resources are an economic factor here.
"Not everyone has a university education, not everyone wants one. We still need mechanics, repairmen, etc. I see it as being a good mix for the community with a good mix of people and their skills."
She hasn't got enough information about Ajax to make up her mind on whether it's a good fit, though.
"Staff have put together some really good questions. I look forward to the answers. If I don't like the answers, we'll be asked our opinion. My answer will be no."
Wallace said she supports anything that offers jobs that doesn't impact the city in a negative way.
"With the mine, the number of jobs sounds positive, but the impact can be worrisome," she said.
City environmental and sustainability services manager Jen Fretz said questions are being compiled to go to Ajax proponent Abacus for answers.
"This is just the first set of questions. There will be more detailed ones to follow," she said. The first round of answers are anticipated in fall.
The just-completed Kamloops Sustainability Plan sets out goals as far as 2050, with the priority being a clean, healthy community for everyone to thrive and recreate in.
There will still be industry, but it has to be balanced with quality of life and environment.
Andrew Ramlo, director at the Vancouver planning consultation firm of Urban Futures, said there are towns in B.C. built up around mining, like Trail, or Coalmont.
But in the case of Kamloops and Ajax, the city is already established.
"I can't say I know of any really pretty mining or really pretty industrial towns," Ramlo said.
"But some do a better job of trying to mitigate the images that come along with that. The economic, environment and social are integrally tied together."
Kamloops civic leaders have to decide what their vision is for their city.
"What does Kamloops envision for itself? What does it want to be when it grows up? You need a strong voice on that," he said.
"Everyone wants to chase high tech and tourism, but you look at the jobs they provide within your city, it's a relatively small share. Mining, energy and fuels are the two most significantly growing export sectors for B.C."
Fretz said an environmental working group has been created with representatives from Abacus, the City, a list of government agencies and others. Abacus will have to learn what Kamloops is about, she said.
"We're not built around the mine. They're going to be built around us."
Lambright said that means asking how much the mine operation can be shaped and molded to fit into the City's plan.
But the bottom line is, municipalities have no say when it comes to extraction of mineral resources. And there are mineral claims peppered throughout the area in and around Kamloops, Lambright said.

Do you want a lipstick that glides on effortlessly with full color & sheen? Well baby this is it! Worth the $23.50 USD it cost. Every woman I ever gave a tube of this for a present was always impressed with the packaging, the bullet shaped tube, & then the quality of the product. My favorite shade is #737 Contrast Brown, which isn't brown at all but a reddish-orange that looks great on my golden toned warm skin. I usually buy 2 at a time cause I'm so afraid one day it'll be discontinued so I stock up. Best lipstick on the market!

Great lipstick..im not really into matte colours so love that it looks really shiny like lip gloss on my lips. I have this in Sensual Pearl..lovely natural pink colour as i dont go for really strong bright colours. pretty and understated. Usually use over lip balm. dont really need gloss as lip balm alone is enough to moisturise and give the juicy effect. Would love to buy this in more colours..definately something which i would stick using to...
Wow! $23.00 for a lipstick? Well, it's worth every penny! I purchased this in digital brown. I'm a PPP with green eyes and red hair. The color is PERFECT!
Is truly moisturizing, lasts a long time and doesn't bleed at all! I can't wait to get more colors!
In own a couple of these lipsticks, and they're some of my favourites. They're rich, creamy, and moisturizing with good pigmentation (except for the sheers, of course). They have fairly good lasting power, and dont tend to change colour as they fade. The scent is a bit strong, but I find that it fades quickly and there isnt a noticeable taste. I also think the packaging is very cute, but it's a bit clunky and can get scratched easily in my purse.
There's a wide range of shades, so finding one (or three) that works is just a matter of trial & error. But, with all of the different finishes (sheer, glitter, pearl shine, etc.) there's something for everyone.
4/5 lippies. Love the formula and range of shades, but I'm knocking one lippie off for the $23 price tag. continued >>
I like shimmer and color. interesting package.
I use it only on lip balm becouse this lipstik making my lips dry.
I own this lipstick in a shade called "Cosmic Rose" (can't remember the product number offhand tho) - a very sheer, natural-looking pink - and I love it. I love the pretty packaging, the smell of it, and its moisturizing feel which makes it glide smoothly on my lips. It also doesn't feather. The only downside about this product for me is that it's a lil' too pricey. Other than that, I love it to bits :)
I was given this by a friend. The tube is not always easy to twist if you have moisturized hands or something, so that was a bit irritating. The texture is great and it is a little glossy, however, it does wear off quickly. If you are willing to reapply often, this is a good lipstick. Not drying like others.

The packaging of this lipstick is so pretty! It's like a little jewel. I have this in X-pink, a shimmery pink lipstick. In the first applications a bit sparkly, becomes less the more you use it. Don't let the product mislead you into thinking it is too sparkly or glittery. It's just perfect! It lasts well.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Packaging is interesting, as it does resemble a bottle of perfume - but because of that, it's bulky. While the texture's nice, the color selection isn't amazing, and what turns me off most is the very strong rose scent, so much so that although I love the colors I have, including the pretty and tame Rose Scenario, I won't reach for them on account of the smell.
More reviews by Goddess_Dreams
Love the cute packaging - resembles a mini-sized Addict bottle of perfume. The color I have is 797 -'Violet Spectral' which of course is anything but violet. In fact, it's more cranberry red then even remotely violet... but I love the name nevertheless :) Smooth, creamy, moist, texture that silkens your lips and lasts for hours. One of my new favorites.

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) _ Gov. Dennis Daugaard is requesting federal assistance to help seven South Dakota counties recover from severe weather last month.
Daugaard submitted the letter to President Barack Obama on Tuesday asking for a Presidential Disaster Declaration.
Preliminary assessments show that the series of storms from June 19 through 29 caused damage to public property estimated at more than $1.7 million.
The damage occurred in Beadle, Codington, Deuel, Grant, Hamlin, Hughes and Kingsbury counties.
Daugaard said the slow-moving storm system produced four tornadoes, 90-mph, hurricane-force winds and heavy rainfall that washed out roads and culverts and caused rivers to rise above flood stage in several places.
If the request is approved, up to 75 percent of eligible costs could be reimbursed by the federal government.

Eager to find an affordable way to get to San Francisco or Las Vegas on a double decker bus with Wi-Fi and power outlets?
Megabus.com, a city-to-city express bus company with fares starting from $1, announced Wednesday its return to California and Nevada with services to and from Los Angeles.
Starting Dec. 12, Megabus.com will offer frequent daily departures from its arrival/departure location at Union Station's Patsaouras Transit Plaza in bus bay No. 1, near the plaza entrance from Vignes Street.
Megabus.com, a subsidiary of Coach USA, operated in Los Angeles for about a year, starting in 2007, but ended its service because of a lack of demand.
"We've seen impressive growth throughout North America and are confident that our twenty-first century double-decker buses with Wi-Fi and power outlets, combined with our outstanding prices, will be a success among Los Angeles residents," said company spokesman Mike Alvich.
The company estimates 247,000 travelers will visit the Los Angeles metro area during the company's first year serving the region.
L.A. residents will be able to travel to and from San Francisco, Las Vegas, Oakland and San Jose. Fares start at $1 every day and increase to up to $40 traveling date gets closer.
During the first week of travel between Dec. 12 and Dec. 19, all tickets will be $1. Alvich said after that the fares revert to the normal yield management system, comparing it to JetBlue airlines, where on "non-peak travel days" there will be more $1 seats available. He suggested booking your bus trip 30 to 45 days in advance to get the $1 ticket, and as the days get closer to the day of travel, ticket prices will move to $4 and gradually increase closer to the peak demand days. Under the normal yield management system, Alvich said you'll pay $25 to $30 maximum for a bus trip if purchasing close to a peak travel day.
"We're a private enterprise and receive no subsidies," he said, touting their 81-seat double decker buses.
Megabus.com will also stop in Riverside, and company officials said they will consider additional stops in Los Angeles and county areas in the future.
"Tourism is a leading industry in Los Angeles that has enjoyed solid visitation growth over the last two years," said Don Skeoch, chief marketing officer for the tourism and convention board, in a press release.
"San Francisco's our number one visitor to L.A.," said Carol Martinez, spokeswoman for the tourism and convention board, talking to Patch Wednesday afternoon. "So anything that makes it easier for people from San Francisco to get from that city to L.A. is wonderful. We think that with more travelers being conscious of their impact on the environment [and] to travel green, that Megabus is a good alternative for travel."

One fortunate Shreveport senior will be staying a lot cooler this summer now that he has a fan to circulate the air and create a breeze.
Today, KSLA News 12's Storm Tracker team got a chance to hear his sigh of relief when we joined the Council on Aging to deliver a fan to DeJuan Smalls' Home.
"Yeah, it's going to keep me kind of cool. It's already getting warm inside the house, so I'll really appreciate this fan," he said.
According to the National Institute on Aging, staying in a hot environment for too long can lead to several health conditions, including heat stroke. The signs of this potentially deadly situation are:
People over age 50 are encouraged to stay in a cool place and use air conditioning and/or fans to keep from overheating.
We want to make many more seniors without fans happy as well this summer. If you want to get in on the KSLA News 12 fan drive, it's pretty easy. We've teamed up with the Caddo Council on Aging to collect fans now through Labor Day.
You can drop your fans off here at the station at 1812 Fairfield Avenue in Shreveport.
Let's keep our area seniors cool!

There is a new twist in the privatizing of Chicago's parking meters.
Alderman Brendan Reilly (42nd) said he has been meeting with municipal bond experts to try to find a way for the city to buy its 36,000 meters back from Chicago Parking Meters LLC.
Reilly said he has been told it is possible. But Mayor Emanuel disagrees, saying that the city does not have the funds.
The company paid the city more than $1 billion to control the meters for 75 years.
A recent deal Emanuel struck with Chicago Parking Meters regarding the 75-year contract included free Sunday parking in certain neighborhoods, but extended hours for required meter payment in wards like Reilly's.
Aldermen who usually support the mayor in most of his City Council endeavors remain divided from him on the subject of the parking meter deal, and have said they want such a substantial agreement renegotiated.
