www.wildcountry.co.uk/Products/Karabiners/XenonLiteNEW/ The WC Xenon Lite biner is a small/medium size bent wire carabiner. It's a hair smaller than the neutrino, but bigger than the Camp Nano or the Metolius Mini. I purchased 18 of these biners about 6 months ago. I was attracted to their light weight, the fact that they have some nose protection, and the bent wire makes them very easy to clip. I chose them over the trango superfly and the mammut moses because of the nose protection. This is a personal thing for me, I don't like how the tip of the wiregate sticks out well over both sides of the nose of those two biners. Might not be an issue, but I could see that wire getting hung up or dragged along the rock, leaving you with open gate strength. Anyway, after 6 months of moderate to heavy use, out of my initial 18, 2 of them have super sticky gates. With barrel gates, you can usually clean them up and unstick them, but this isn't always the case with wiregates, I suspect that the wire may have gotten a subtle bend in them, funking their action. I suspect this happened in my pack. It's too bad, these were my favorite biners because of their light weight and good action, but I can't recommend them because of this issue, and won't be buying any more of them. EDIT: I just added the link to the page on Wild Country's website, which says the biner has been discontinued.
Not sure I like the Xenon... they're super cheap right now but the gate action seems to "give" and not much resistance ... easier clipping but i worry a rock feature may open it. Anyone have experience w/ these?

About Buttock Implants
This information is intended for general information only and should not be considered as medical advice on the part of Health-Tourism.com. Any decision on medical treatments, after-care or recovery should be done solely upon proper consultation and advice of a qualified physician.
What are Buttock Implants?
Buttock implants are a specific form of buttock augmentation. During surgery, artificial buttock implants are inserted in order to improve the look and shape of the bottom. Buttock implants, or butt implants, are popular with women and men who want a shapelier, fuller bottom. Many people who have lost weight choose buttock implants to add volume to their behind, although extra skin from weight loss may also need to be removed. Buttock implants can improve self-confidence and result in an enhanced appearance.
What are the types of Buttock Implants?
The most common buttock implant procedures are as follows:
Silicone implants
: The cosmetic surgeon makes an incision where the buttock cheek meets the thigh or inside the crease of the buttock, where scars will not show. The surgeon forms a pocket and inserts the silicone buttock implants under or on top of the gluteus maximus muscle. Where the implants are positioned depends on the outcome the patient wants.
Fat grafting
: In this procedure, fat is taken from areas of the body such as the thighs and stomach, and injected into the buttocks.
Tissue flap
: The surgeon can also increase the volume of the buttocks by making a tissue flap from buttock skin and inserting it as an implant.
What should you discuss before the procedure?
Examine the different options open to you in terms of your desired end result. Discuss with your consultant the buttock shape and size you prefer and how your appearance will be changed.
Duration of procedure/surgery:
Buttock implant surgery is likely to take between two and three hours. The duration of the procedure depends on where the implants are placed, the patient's body and the surgical technique.
Days admitted:
None. You probably won't need to stay overnight after buttock implant surgery.
Buttock implants are usually inserted under a general anesthesia. Some buttock implant surgeries take place under a local anesthesia with a sedative.
- The swelling in the buttocks and general discomfort should disappear within 2 days. - One week after buttock implants, you will be walking normally and able to sit down as usual. - Swelling will continue to reduce over 1 to 2 weeks. - Doctors recommend 2 weeks off work to recover but you will be able to resume sedate activities within a few days of the buttock implant surgery. - You will be able to resume full levels of activity and exercise after one month to six weeks.
It is rare to experience serious complications after a buttock implant procedure but some risks do remain. Risks include: - Buttock implants may shift position after surgery and result in an asymmetrical shape. To reduce this risk, buttock implants are set above the seat area to minimize the chance of sitting on the implants and moving them. - Buttock implants can, on rare occasions, rupture or break. - One of the most popular methods of buttock implant surgery, cutting an incision down the buttock crease, carries a high risk of infection. - Excessive bleeding. - Negative reaction to anesthesia. - Sometimes another buttock implant procedure is needed to achieve the desired results.
After care:
- Take prescribed antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication after the surgery. - Pain in the first 48 hours following a buttock implant procedure is to be expected. Take pain medication to reduce the discomfort. - Wear a supportive compression bandage for a few days to ensure the buttock implants heal correctly. - Get plenty of rest after buttock implant surgery and drink lots of water. Make sure you eat healthily in order to speed the healing process.

That's the place where facts and levelheaded voices are drowned out by wild assumptions and irrational arguments.
We've been here before. Remember the circus that erupted over Terri Schiavo? How about Casey Anthony? Even the debate playing out now over health-care reform has extremists who refuse to let the truth and common ground stand in the way of a good partisan food fight.
Before it's all over, Trayvon's death could make the political showboating and media extravaganzas we saw during the Schiavo case, the Casey trial and health-care reform look like sideshows.
Sadly, that could overshadow the heart of the case.
The shooting of Trayvon Martin raises important questions about racial profiling, equal justice and what constitutes self-defense.
For Geraldo, it's about hoodies.
"I think the hoodie is as much responsible for Trayvon Martin's death as George Zimmerman was," Rivera said on Fox News. "You're gonna be a gangsta wannabe? Well, people are going to perceive you as a menace."
Does Geraldo think that Mark Zuckerberg is a "gangsta wannabe"? The hoodie is a wardrobe staple for the billionaire Facebook founder.
Geraldo's comments on Friday had me wondering if we were headed to Crazy Town.
On Saturday I knew we had arrived. That's when the New Black Panthers, sharing with us their concept of justice, offered a $10,000 bounty for the "capture" of shooter George Zimmerman.
"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth," leader Mikhail Muhammad said between profanities.
A call for violence by the same people who condemned the violence against Trayvon? How depraved. How irresponsible.
The New Black Panthers are far more concerned with TV time than real justice.
True fairness in this case means a thorough investigation.
But even those demands have indulged in some incendiary language.
On Sunday, speaking at an Eatonville church, the Rev. Jesse Jackson called Trayvon a "martyr," compared his death to that of Martin Luther King Jr. and suggested it could start a new round in the "war" for civil rights.

Are you an alum of Valley Forge Christian College? Our Alumni area is made just for you.
Cape Town, South Africa, is among the most beautiful places in the world. But, sadly, the rich, beautiful scenery is sharply contrasted by an appalling level of poverty, crime, abuse and AIDS. This bitter imbalance has touched the hearts of Noah '02 and Tricia Rivera '04 Kaye, who recently chose to leave their entire family to focus on Simple Church planting in African countries.
For the last couple of years, a shift had begun to occur in Noah and Tricia's hearts. "I had more questions than I did answers," Noah said. "My heart had begun to grow extremely curious, and I knew that there must be more to this church thing than I realized."
In January 2011, after a soul-searching and enlightening season, Noah and Tricia Kaye moved with their two children, Davis (5) and Lily (4 months) to South Africa to serve as a bridge between Eastern Mennonite Missions and All Nations Southern Africa.
Noah serves alongside Floyd McClung, the founder of All Nations, an organization that is "passionate about igniting church planting movements." Together, they minister in poor townships, find Africans who have potential for the Kingdom, and work to disciple them so that they can be sent back home to minister in their communities. Noah also teaches in the church planting school, working with Africans from many countries.
Tricia works with an organization called Vulnerable Children South Africa, an access ministry of All Nations. Along with discipling women, she mentors AIDS families and cares for orphan children.
"We now have a heart for discipleship that we've never had in our whole lives," Noah remarked. "We realize that we spent thirty years in church and never experienced intentional discipleship. So this year has been a major life lesson for us."
All Nations is sending teams to the countries of Malawi, Ethiopia, Mozambique, and Swaziland, preparing African leaders to minister to unengaged people groups and to plant churches. Noah is also in the process of launching a coaching network for pastors in the United States who are interested in making some shifts toward the Simple Church vision.
After one extremely exciting, challenging, and life-changing year of ministry in South Africa, Noah and Tricia know that they are exactly where they are supposed to be.
Valley Forge Christian College is a private Christian College located in Chester County, Pennsylvania, 35 miles northwest of downtown Philadelphia. VFCC offers on its sprawling park-like campus, as well as online, 67 undergraduate and seven graduate degrees in the Arts, the Sciences and the Professions. The college's mission is to prepare individuals for a life of service and leadership in the church and in the world.

For an area that's mostly concrete, the Rio's pool (known as VooDoo Beach) is stunning -- the palms are abundant, the pools picturesque -- bright aquatic murals are painted on the "rocks" and cascading waterfalls are everywhere.
The open area is ideal for sunbathers; those wishing for more privacy can follow the winding paths to a more secluded spot. And beach bums will enjoy the sandy beach.
During the summer months, guests who are at least 21 years old can party at The Voo. The atmosphere is never dull, with live DJs, go-go dancers, pool games, prizes and promotions.

Town Square
Pleasanton Council to consider improvements to Pioneer Cemetery at its meeting tonight
Original post made on Sep 17, 2013
Read the full story here Web Link posted Tuesday, September 17, 2013, 7:58 AM

Hopefully there will be some positive resolutions formed and committed to. The city has devoted so much to other areas for the public. It is only right that our cemetery reflects the same pride for those who have served and lived Pleasanton and made it what it is today.
on Sep 17, 2013 at 9:53 am
I hope they do not mess with it. The cemetery is a pioneer cemetery and looks very well for the type of cemetery it is. Those who have paid for plots there have paid an amount that does not pay for maintenance like other cemeteries have. If we enhance this cemetery, we have given a gift to a small amount of people. If those people want to enhance the cemetery they paid very little for to buy a plot, they should start an improvement district and pay for the enhancements.
on Sep 17, 2013 at 11:44 am
I would hope that "Hope" who made the comments above would take the opportunity to visit our "Pioneer" cemetery as I have on numerous occasions. Even the pioneers would have been embarrassed with what we call our Pleasanton cemetery. The grounds are all dirt which becomes mud during the rainy season. Money was not a factor with many who selected this cemetery. Keeping a loved one close to us here in Pleasanton was much more important. Hopefully, we will make this final resting place one that Pleasanton can be proud of. I hope that "Hope" will reconsider and join us in this effort!

Four people were treated for minor injuries Saturday and twenty others were assisted by firefighters during an early morning fire at the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity house on Washtenaw in Ann Arbor. Everyone involved is expected to be okay. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
Click on the video player to watch Robin Schwartz's report.
Yellow crime scene tape blocks off an unsafe area at the SAE house and black soot can be seen where smoke and flames were coming from the building. Firefighters got the call around 5:30am and when crews arrived we're told the fire was raging on the first floor with dozens of people asleep and unaware of the danger.
"They were woke up, found in their bedroom areas still sleeping during the fire and the alarms going off," Ann Arbor fire battalion Chief Steven Lowe told Fox 2. "They were then assisted out of the back of the building where it was safe."
He says two people got disoriented in the thick smoke and had to be carried out of the three-story house which was built in 1892. In 2011, SAE was expelled amid hazing allegations; they're no longer a recognized fraternity at the University of Michigan. The fire was contained to the first floor of the house. Investigators are still looking for the cause of the fire.

Hi! Someone offered me Kevin Love, just one day after his surprisingly early comeback. He wants Calderon, Asik and West for Kevin. I think it's mindblowingly good offer for me (maybe he's dazed by Calderon's recent performances). Nevertheless, do you see ANY question mark for me in this trade?
I'd have to pick two players from waivers, who should I take if it works?
Nice waivers:
J. Thompson, Hickson, Favors, Rubio, Barnes, Gee, Terry, Aminu, Vucevic

PG: Paul, Curry, Conley, Calderon

Azusa Pacific University is a private, evangelical Christian University. Located 26 miles from Los Angeles, the 53-acre main campus is the home to more than 10,000 students; in addition, satellite campuses can be found in San Diego, Inland Empire, Murrieta, Los Angeles, Ventura County, Orange County, and High Desert. The student to faculty ratio is 12 to 1, so learners receive a good deal of individualized attention from their instructors. Enrolled students are 66% female and 34% male.
In 1899, Mary Hill founded Azusa Pacific University as a bible college for aspiring ministry leaders. With just 12 students enrolled at the time, this religious training institution has since grown to eight different schools, including music, nursing, education, and business. Applicants may also explore Azusa Pacific University's online classes.
Prospective students may explore 57 different bachelor's degree programs, including biochemistry, journalism, information security, and international business. Graduate students may choose from 40 master's programs, including visual art, organizational studies, clinical psychology, and physical education. In addition, students may choose from nine Ph.D. programs, including ministry, physical therapy, and nursing.
Online courses at Azusa Pacific University give scholars the opportunity to view lectures, access course materials, and complete homework around their busy schedules. Students must be able to commit to their online curricula at least six to 10 hours per week; this includes participating in real-time chats and forum discussions. All students need to complete their degree is a Mac or Windows computer, along with a web browser compatible with the school's technological standards.
Students are encouraged to annually submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid in order to see if they qualify for financial support. Based on economic need, students may qualify for federal Pell Grants, Supplemental Education Opportunity Grants, or Direct Stafford Loans. Additionally, the state of California provides options like Cal Grant A or Cal Grant B to alleviate some of the financial strain. Students may also apply for scholarships within their specific APU department.
Azusa Pacific University has been a leading faith-based institution for more than 100 years. However, the wide program selection, reasonable tuition, and cutting-edge online degree options have made it a popular collegiate choice among both religious and secular students.

The unsettling, yet deeply inspiring, second novel from Andrew Binks.
John Rottam is on a journey back in time and place. Fleeing a private stripping engagement turned violent, he reflects on a time in his life when he was burdened with a broken heart, self-doubt and a floundering dance career. A few clumsy steps in the corps de ballet of a prestigious Canadian ballet company sends John fleeing to join a psychotic and incompetent dance troupe in Quebec City, run by the bitter Madame Talegdi, who all but destroys his dream of a legitimate career.
Stifled by the walls of Old Quebec, limited French, and dwindling finances, John seeks out the feathers and sequins of the Chez Moritz nightclub, for a last shot at doing a little of what he loves, on the condition that he strips as well as dances. John's fall from grace eventually lands him in a road house freak show, where he struggles to find love and a meaningful life amidst alcohol, deception, abuse and exploitation. When the show folds, John is forced to move on, confront his uncertain future and come to terms with his disturbing past.
His final strip-tease becomes a haunting dance of desire, revulsion, insight and, ultimately, redemption. Strip is the unsettling, yet deeply inspiring, second novel from Andrew Binks.

McPherson finds more humour in the misadventures of a struggling computer programmer/wannabe writer.
Cube Squared is the much anticipated follow-up novel from Christian McPherson, picking up where his darkly comic debut, The Cube People, left off. Returning to the seemingly mundane reality of government cubicle culture, McPherson finds more humour in the misadventures of a struggling computer programmer/wannabe writer.
Colin MacDonald, a happily married man, owner of a minivan, and the proud father of three kids, is about to face his greatest challenge yet: middle age. By day he is a cubicle-bound civil servant, but by night he is a horror novelist writing the vampire-zombie apocalypse. With the death of his father, a promotion at work, a raging libido and the weight of the world on his shoulders, can our everyman hero rise out of the pits of despair to make sense of his life, which seems to be constantly falling apart? Find out as Colin pursues pedophiles through the park, steals teddy bears, comes dangerously close to an affair with a Jennifer Beals look-alike and deals with the epic failure which sits in his car garage.

Why does 9/11 resonate more strongly with Canadians than June 23, 1985?
children of air india is a series of elegiac sequences exploring the nature of individual loss, situated within public trauma. The work is animated by a proposition: that violence, both personal and collective, produces continuing sonar, an echolocation that finds us, even when we choose to be unaware or indifferent.
This collection breaks new ground in its approach to the saga that is Canada/Air India, an event and its aftermath that is both over-reported and under-represented in our national psyche.
329 deaths. 82 Children. Canada's worst mass murder. The accused acquitted.
What does it mean to be Canadian and lose someone in Air India Flight 182?
Why does 9/11 resonate more strongly with Canadians than June 23, 1985? The poems in this book search out answers in the "everything/ness and nothing/ness" of an act and its aftermath, revealing a voice that re-defines and re-visions.
Air India never happened. Air India always happens.

By Shane Rhodes
One of the first lines of X, Shane Rhodes' sixth book of poetry, is a warning: "this book of verse demands more of verse, this book demands perversity." He goes on to write:
This book is about where I live, a place still settling, still making the land—law by law, arrest by arrest, jail by jail—its own
snow blown
Heed this warning. In X, Rhodes takes poetry from the comfortable land of the expected to places it has seldom been. Writing through the detritus of Canada's colonization and settlement, Rhodes' writes poems to and with Canada's original documents of finding and keeping. He writes a poem to each of the eleven numbered treaties (the Post Confederation Treaties between many of Canada's First Nations and the Queen of England)—he writes to the fonts he finds in Treaty 5, the river he finds in Treaty 6, and the chemicals he finds in Treaty 8. Rhodes' writes poems to and with the Indian Act.
Beyond the treaties, Rhodes writes formal poetry using Indian status registration forms. He writes to the memory of Oka. He writes to the Government of Canada's Apology for the Indian Residential School System. He writes to the procreating beavers he finds in the Royal Charter of the Hudson Bay Company. X culminates in "White Noise," a long poem grown from Canada's collective rants, threats, cries and shouts in response to the Idle No More protests and the hunger strike of Chief Theresa Spence.
Through out the book, Rhodes surprises with what poetry and art can actually do with the seemingly unsalvageable and un-poetic that surrounds us. The design of X is also exhilarating. Not only is the book reversible—it must be read in two directions—but every page bursts with design, interference and thought.
X sings a new national anthem for Canada, an anthem stripped of patriotic fervor that truly sings of the past many would rather forget and the current state of Indigenous/settler race relations in Canada, an anthem fit for "a land held by therefores, herebys and hereinafters."
Songs That Remind Us of Factories
978-0-88971-292-8 - Paperback

August 2013
By Danny Jacobs
A lively collection of poetry that thoughtfully examines what it means to be connected
The poems in Songs that Remind Us of Factories explore how we
remain connected: to the world outside, to our ideas of home, to
each other, and to ourselves. In their searching, these magpie poems
strike a balance between wound language and quiet meditation,
the arched-brow wisecrack and the emotionally frank gesture. The
result is an honest and playful sequence of poems that plumb our
myriad reactions when small wildernesses occasionally come inside.
The book's final section asks whether we may not be too
connected. They mine a world of rapid technological and commercial
growth for its poetic potential, focusing on work in call centres,
postmodern spaces where the walls of dying suburban malls have
been repurposed with "fishnets of fibre-op" and "chain gangs of
chopped desktop/Dells"; where "you're licked/ before the call comes
kicking in."
This is a poetry that refuses to stagnate in one mode, wearing
all manner of poetic hats while always avoiding drab lyrical sentiment.
With a jumpy musicality and a taut line, these poems wander
far, zeroing in on moments of daily connection while also opening
wider their frame of reference to explore the often fractured links
we have to family and loss, science and religion, the idealized rural
and the newly urban.

"THE Dress" Elegant, shows curves (in a good way) princess style gown! Fell in love immediately! Tried on a size 12 in store and ended up ordering it because I loved it so much! I'm a street size 18 - and this was a beautiful gown on! August 2, 2014
Beautiful! When i went to the store i was not planning on buying the day i went, I walked in & saw this one and immediately fell in love! I tried it on, & didn't want to take it off.. So i at least tried on one more dress to make sure it was the one. I only tried on two dresses because i knew this was the one. I always dreamed of having a ball gown wedding dress & this was just over the top of what i dreamed of! everyone loved my dress. I felt like a princess! I would buy this dress if you want poofy!!! July 1, 2014
Gorgeous Dress! I ordered this dress in ivory/ivory and it is absolutely gorgeous! When i tried it on with the champagne underlay, I wanted something that looked "lighter". It was definitely worth special ordering because the ivory dress with ivory underlay is beautiful!!!!! This is truly a princess dress... June 13, 2014
You can't top this dress! You can't top this Oleg Cassini ballgown! This dress is Over the top! If you want a truly AMAZING dress and to feel like a total queen this is your dress! The venise lace, intricately beaded bodice and perfectly draped organza skirt and train make it a complete show-stopper!! Its luxurious in every way! When I walked into Davids Bridal the dress was center stage on the mannequin and caught my eye right away. After trying it on nothing else compared! The dress hits in all the right places and you can really feel the difference in this designer gown! The boned corset shows on the outside of the bodice which really gives it that sexy, lingerie feel and is very supportive and shows your beautiful curves! The book you get with your Oleg purchase is very neat it's so unique having a dress by a designer who catered to all of Hollywoods most glamorous stars! I love everything about this one-of-a-kind and stunning gown! My mom and bridesmaids jaws dropped when I stepped out of the dressing room and I was grinning ear to ear! I'm pairing it with detachable lace cap sleeves for a totally elegant and classic look! I agree with everyone else that the picture online doesn't do the dress justice, something about the drab grey background, like any dress online it looks way better in person! I can't wait to wear it on my wedding day!!! Totally, utterly, in love! :-) May 28, 2014

Alis Chalmer B seal number help.
Needing part number on the seal that goes in the carrier bearing retainer, The number I got off the old seal looks to be a national #50162 can't seem to get it crossed.
Re: Alis Chalmer B seal number help.
Good autoparts store should be able to get a seal.
Measure the shaft diameter where the seal rides. Take the old seal, retainer, and your measurement, to your favorite autoparts store. AGCO handles older Allis parts - if one is near by.
I have an excuse. CRS.

Or he's a jackass, or he's a something-or-rather, or ... You'll get a variation of this sentiment on Twitter right now if you're looking because Harper is wearing red contacts:
DEMON! DEEEEEEEMON! Combined with the faux-hawk, the black-metal corpse paint, and the expectations we had of Harper before we realized he was normal and relatively grounded, the red contacts were the perfect thing to put people over the top!
Except, it probably has nothing to do with demonosity or team spirit. Players wear red contacts for the sun, or to pick the ball up better. From the USA Today:
The Baltimore Orioles' Brian Roberts, the majors' second-leading batter entering Thursday (.368), and the Chicago White Sox's A.J. Pierzynski are among more than two dozen big-leaguers fitted with tinted contact lenses developed by Nike and Bausch & Lomb and designed to make the ball stand out.
That was seven years ago. This isn't about Harper bleedin' Natitude through his eyeballs. It's probably because he didn't like how he was picking up the ball, and the corpse paint didn't help as much as he wanted yesterday.
Besides, it'd be pretty stupid to have a "GOTTA BLEED RED" mindset when you're facing the Cardinals.

With a shocking loss to Louisville Sunday night in the Sweet 16, the career of Baylor's Britney Griner came to an end. The stats are overwhelming: second all-time for women in career points...her 18 dunks are three more than all other female basketball players, combined... and her 748 blocks are the most in Men's or Women's NCAA history for a career.
Now, the Houston, Texas native is headed to the WNBA - or is she. Outspoken Mavs owner Mark Cuban said he'd consider drafting Griner with the Dallas Mavericks second round pick in this summer's NBA draft. But would her game compute to the NBA?
"I think Britney could hold her own in some things," TU Women's Head Coach Matilda Mossman said. "But, we're talking about men that are physically stronger, faster, bigger build."
"I think she'd be way more successful in the WNBA," said former ORU standout Kevi Luper. "I mean, honestly, men are better athletes than women. It's just how are bodies are build - it's just the truth. So I don't think a girl should ever play in the NBA - they're just too strong, too talented. It just wouldn't work well, in my opinion."
A lot of people share Kevi's opinion, too. Ann Meyers is the only women's player to sign with a NBA team - but the experiment didn't work out. Meyers was a point guard, too - not a post player.
"I don't think it's a position that you go in and try to play in the NBA, a center," Mossman said. "Plus you look at the way those guys run up and down the floor - Britney's ok running up and down the floor, but she doesn't run like a 6'8 guy does. So, there's just a lot of physical differences that would make it hard for her."
We'll see if Cuban is serious, or if this is simply a publicity stunt when the NBA holds its draft on June 27th.
For her part, Griner says she is ready, Tweeting to Cuban "I would hold my own! Lets do it."

If the football thing doesn't work out for Jesuit's Thomas Sperbeck, he might consider a career as a dancer.
The senior quarterback's brilliant footwork and raw speed enabled No. 15 Jesuit to beat No. 16 Christian Brothers 28-23 Saturday night in Holy Bowl XLII at Hughes Stadium.
In front of a 15,000-plus crowd, the 6-foot, 175-pound Sperbeck threw for a touchdown; scored on runs of four and 72 yards and returned a fumble 85 yards for a touchdown as the Marauders (3-0) beat the Falcons (3-1) for the 26th time.
Sperbeck, who rushed for 95 yards and passed for 68, also had a 50-yard run called back on a penalty.
Caden Noon's two fourth-quarter touchdown runs cut Jesuit's 28-10 lead to five points late in the game, but Tyler Marshall recovered the onside kick, and Jesuit was able to run out the clock.
The Falcons' John Wagstaff blocked a field goal attempt late in the first half and returned the ball 81 yards for a touchdown.

The gold standard in breast cancer screening, mammography offers an x-ray view of the breast. The American Cancer Society recommends women start getting them at age 40, and every year thereafter.
"The reason that we do it every year is that we're looking for subtle changes in the pattern over time. So if something begins to become distorted or a mass shows up or calcifications that are suspicious show up, those are the things that we're looking for," says Dr. Gail Santucci, diagnostic radiologist with Lee Memorial Health System.
Certain breast tissue is easy to read, others make it more difficult.
"She's our favorite candidate for screening because she has very small tissue. Tumors would show up very easily in a patient like this," says Dr. Santucci.
The denser the breast, the harder it is to spot minor variations. Doctors are looking at two images of each breast. At least eight to ten percent of patients are called back to take more pictures.
"With those four views we are taking of the breasts, we aren't looking up close at particular areas, we are kind of getting an overview and look for anything that triggers us to look closer," says Dr. Santucci.
In itself, it doesn't mean the test was 'positive'.
"It could be that the tissue overlaps funny on the mammogram pictures and it looks like it could be distorted by a mass, when in fact it's just normal tissue. It could be that we see a mass on the mammogram and we're not sure if it's a cyst or if it's solid," says Dr. Santucci.
One to two percent of patients will undergo a biopsy. Only a half a percent end up having breast cancer. So getting a call back after a mammogram is no reason to hit the panic button.
"I think that's one of the most misunderstood portions of mammography. People become very concerned when they get a call," says Dr. Santucci.

ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico — Officials say a 33-year-old man shot by Albuquerque police was wanted by federal authorities for possible illegal firearms possession.
Albuquerque police said Wednesday the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms was seeking to take Jeremy Joe Robertson into custody when Albuquerque officers shot him.
Authorities say Robertson fled plain-clothed officers from a gas station and had pulled a firearm from his waist.
Police say he also was facing charges of aggravated assault on a police officer with a deadly weapon stemming for a case earlier this year.
The shooting comes as the city of Albuquerque and the U.S. Justice Department are locked in negotiations over ordered reforms following a harsh report into the police department's use of force.
Albuquerque police also have been under scrutiny for 41 police shootings — 27 of them fatal — since 2010.

Human pride took a bruising when Deep Blue beat Gary Kasparov in 1997; it may never recover if robots win the World Cup. However, an annual international robotic football competition hopes to achieve just that.
RoboCup's goal is to develop a team of fully autonomous, bipedal bots that can, by 2050, win against the victors of the human World Cup.
Around 140 robot teams from 90 countries will face each other in a knockout competition in Singapore in mid-June. There are six categories, from "small" (less than 15cm high) to "humanoid" (130 cm plus). Continue reading
The stack is a design strategy that, although east Asian in origin, is being co-opted across the world. It's a combination of simplified forms that appear to have been piled on top of one another in an ad hoc way.
An early example in Todoroki, a suburb of Tokyo, showed the potential of the form and now it's causing a buzz in Europe and the US. An ambitious stacked skyscraper in Jersey City in New Jersey (1) is planned, but the current king of the pile is Herzog and de Meuron's Vitrahaus (4), their furniture-design HQ at Weil-am-Rein in Switzerland, which opened in February.

If you commission an artwork, you don't expect to have to help build it. Yet Milanese design group Controprogetto have made client participation key to their work, along with using as much reclaimed material as possible.
Their first commission in 2003 -- rebuilding a playground in a small town in Kosovo -- forced the team to be resourceful and rope in the community. The four members of the group, straight from university, sourced scrap building material for free, slept in locals' houses for the month-long project and ended up building it with them.
"To build the structure we needed concrete -- we didn't have that skill, so we did it with them," recalls Davide Rampanelli, now 31. Continue reading

Whether you love her or you hate her, it seems Memphians can't get enough of City Councilwoman Janis Fullilove. From outbursts to arrests, the exploits of the controversial public servant have been well documented.
In January 2008 a record-setting nine new Memphis City Council members relished in the personal opportunity to conduct the "business of the people." None appeared more grateful to begin a life of public service than Janis Fullilove.
The outspoken Councilwoman said at the time, "Ready to go to work. Ready to help neighborhoods become greater neighborhoods and our citizenry ready to become greater citizenry. So, I'm ready."
But, not even Fullilove herself could have been prepared for the stormy and controversial twists and turns that have haunted her five year tenure on the Council. A series of personal meltdowns, mea culpa's and defiant comebacks have often overshadowed the passionate representation she's given to her staunch, but sometimes bewildered constituents.
But, with four alcohol related arrests in five years, a declared bankruptcy filing, a public censure from her own colleagues she readily accepted, an apology for a pole dancing incident in front of a gathering of members of the Black Caucus Convention and then her highly publicized arrest last year for a domestic altercation with husband Vernon Chalmers, it's a "Perils of Pauline" tightrope act that's given fodder to her detractors, fascinates the media and yet seems to give her a vulnerability, humanity, and resiliency few political figures in Memphis history can boast of. Now in her second term, surprisingly, Fullilove's enthusiasm for her work on the Council still burns despite the mental and physical toll her personal tribulations have inflicted. Now, as back on her first day on the Council, Janis Fullilove is ready to carry on as she believes she was "ordained" to do.
"I feel this is what I want and ask God for it. And so I got it."
After all of her trials, Fullilove agreed to sit down with Fox13 for an unprecedented interview. She was very candid about her personal struggles and asks people not to judge her without taking a look at themselves.
When asked how she could be so popular and unpopular at the same time, she said, "You know what, Jesus Christ was so popular and unpopular, so why not me?"
Fullilove is the first to admit that she's made mistakes, "Have I done some dastardly things? Yes I have, I've done some things I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. People look at that and want to have something to compare themselves with, and say, 'I would never do that.'"
But, the Councilwoman does think that some of her more highly publicized incidents have been blown out of proportion, "You know, I wish I could pole dance. I'd love to pole dance, but when I was on the boat I didn't pole dance, I just had a corner there…I was dancing, and how it got out of hand (and) I was pole dancing, I have no idea…My error was getting behind the wheel of a car while taking all this medication. My second DUI I received, I drank two big glasses of wine without eating, my husband had his fifth heart attack, I didn't know what to do at the time, I was really depressed about it, went to the casino, tried to win some money, being stupid, so all of that is my responsibility. I don't blame anyone for that but me."
Fullilove continued, "I know we all do things, we make bad choices, we make bad decisions, that doesn't necessarily mean we are bad people. I have made so many bad decisions, but the best decision I ever made was to run for office and to work my darndest."
If you judge Fullilove solely by what you see in the media, you may have a negative opinion. But, she says she spends upwards of 100 hours a week talking and fixing problems for Memphians.
Whether you agree or disagree with her politics, it takes sitting in just one council meeting to realize, she is working for her constituents.
We talked to some of her colleagues, trying to get a sense of how she is viewed by her colleagues. The same phrase kept coming up: Rock Star.
"You know what? The only reason they call me a rock star is because I am. I'm a rock star. I think it's wonderful, I'm a diva, I'm a rock star, and I'm a hard worker."
What kept coming up in talking with her colleagues and constituents is that Fullilove is one of the best Council members at responding when someone e-mails or calls and says something like, "My garbage didn't get picked up," or, "There's a pothole in front of my house, the weeds are overgrown."
Fullilove also points to being the first to bring up a non-discrimination ordinance for gay and lesbian workers, co-sponsoring a blight initiative, spearheading a utility assistance program, and passing the ban the box ordinance, which makes it easier for people with a criminal history to get work.
When asked about her future political aspirations, Fullilove responded, "I'm running for Mayor. A C, I'm coming after you and just watch me…no, I just said that to make the Mayor scared."
She did say that she has aspirations to run for a higher office, but would not tip her hat to what that might be.
Love her or hate her, Fullilove thinks people are too quick to judge her based on preconceived notions.
"Well, I say, you get to know Janis Fullilove. You get to know me personally, and you'll know the kind of heart that I have, the kind of compassion I have. Yes I have done wrong things, and I'm not proud of that. I try to learn from those things and I ask the Lord, 'Lord, don't let me walk down that path again.' But I know I'm going to make mistakes, as we all are. So, just get to know me. If you don't get to know me, stop judging me because God is the ultimate judge, and he's the only one I want to answer to. When my days are up, when I enter into heaven, and I will go to heaven people, he's going to say, 'Well done, my good and faithful servant.'"

At UFC 163: Aldo vs. Korean Zombie, John Lineker (21-6 MMA; 2-1 UFC) faces Jose Maria Tome (33-3(2) MMA; UFC Debut). This Flyweight fight will open the 5 fight PPV broadcast. Lineker is currently ranked as the #7 Flyweight contender in the UFC rankings, while the debuting Jose Maria is unranked. The UFC 163 PPV airs live from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil this Saturday, August 3, on PPV with the main card starting at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT.
Like so many fights at UFC 163, this is one that has been impacted by injury. Lineker vs. Phil Harris was the original plan, but Harris stepped out and newcomer Maria stepped in. Injuries elsewhere on the card also earned these two a PPV main card slot. That's a good thing for these Flyweights. With champion Mighty Mouse having recently disposed of John Moraga, and no obvious challenger on the horizon, a big, impressive win here could mean a swift title shot.
How do these two stack up?
Lineker: 23 years old | 5'2" | 67" reach
Maria: 31 years old | 5'5"
What have these two done recently?
Lineker: W - Azamat Gashimov (TKO) | W - Yasuhiro Urushitani (UD) | L - Louis Gaudinot (Sub)
Maria: W - Milton Cesar (Sub) | W - Luciano Bulldog (Sub) | W - Leo Jacare (TKO)
How did these two get here?
John Lineker started his career in 2008 fighting on the Brazilian regional scene. A natural Flyweight, Lineker had a rocky start to his career as he was forced to fight outside of Flyweight. But since 2010, he's been on fire in first the Bantamweight and now Flyweight divisions. Lineker is currently on a 15-1 run, with his only loss coming to Gaudinot. A heavy-handed puncher, Lineker has rare power for a Flyweight, and has used it effectively in his last fights.
More Bloody Elbow coverage of UFC 163
Jose Maria Tome (or just Jose Maria as the UFC is billing him), is a seasoned veteran of the Brazilian scene. Since making his debut in 2004, Maria has been a very active fighter - he's getting close to his 40th pro fight and is already 2-0 in 2013. He's also on a very impressive run, going undefeated since July 2008 with 16 wins. Maria's losses come against good quality opponents like Jussier Formiga and Leandro Higo. Maria may be a late replacement, but he is a very welcome addition to the Flyweight division who has the skills to turn some heads.
Why should you care?
I'm happy to see the Flyweights on the main card, and I am eager to see how Maria does in the UFC. Plus, possible title shot? I'm in.

BOSTON (MainStreet) Summer vacationers make ideal targets for traffic cops in resort areas, as tourists are typically anxious to get where they're going, unfamiliar with local speed traps and too far from home to challenge tickets in court.
"It's an unspoken rule [in vacation spots] that cops are directed by their supervisors to say: 'Hey, let's take advantage of this long weekend and write a lot of tickets,'" says Mark Schraeder of TheTrafficTicketAttorneys.com, a Los Angeles firm that specializes in fighting speeding tickets.

While the best way to avoid fines is to simply obey all traffic laws, Schraeder and other experts say vacationers who feel the need to speed can minimize tickets by taking a few simple steps. The key is to make sure your car doesn't stand out of the crowd if you pass a cop, who can only pull over so many vehicles in a given shift.
"You don't want to do anything that's going to draw attention to your vehicle," says Michael Klijian, a senior partner at the firm. "The more you stick out, the more you're going to be a target."
Here are four things the experts suggest you do this summer to minimize the chance of coming home with a speeding ticket to accompany your tan:
Research local ticketing practices
Do an online search for "speeding laws by state" before you leave home so you'll know if your trip includes driving through states or counties known for intensive traffic enforcement.

"Every word she writes is a lie, including 'and' and 'the,'" goes the notorious quote by Mary McCarthy about her legendary rival Lillian Hellman. For the recent Broadway production of Nora Ephron's play Imaginary Friends, which explores the battles of these two literary legends, projection designer Jan Hartley created a series of title cards that looked as though someone were typing the words in real time.
The play stars Swoosie Kurtz and Cherry Jones as Hellman and McCarthy, and features music by Marvin Hamlisch and lyrics by Craig Carnelia. Directed by Jack O'Brien and choreographed by Jerry Mitchell, Imaginary Friends played a pre-Broadway engagement at San Diego's Old Globe Theatre last fall and opened at Broadway's Barrymore Theatre in December. Hellman and McCarthy, who had sharp minds and even sharper tongues, barely knew each other but became bitter enemies and legal adversaries.
Scharff Weisberg supplied the play's video package, including Dataton show control, Scala Media management and playback, and a complement of Christie and Barco projectors to deliver video and graphic content onto various scenic elements. "We project on the downstage curtain, the upstage curtain and scrim, and, at one instance, we shoot onto a sheet that an actor holds up," commented Scharff Weisberg project manager Derek Holbrook.
The video inputs included Scala Infochannel Designer 3, live camera, and MPEG-2 videos playing from a computer. Also included were an FSR compass switcher, a Dataton Show Control system, two Christie L8 projectors (one on the downstage curtain and one on the upstage curtain/scrim), and two Barco 6300s (one plus a backup) that project on the sheet.
The Dataton system controls the Christies (including scrollers), the Barcos, the cues for the Scala system, and the FSR switcher. Scala is the primary video playback controller for the projectors. Two video clips are played back from the MPEG-2 playback card in the Scala computer, which also provides the audio for these clips. The Scharff Weisberg Media Resource Center did the MPEG encoding for the clips.
"In the San Diego production, they used PowerPoint to provide audio and graphics. The producers and the designer wanted to upgrade their reliability for both elements in the New York production, so we chose a separate Dataton show control system and Scala. Dataton triggers the graphics at the same time as it sends a MIDI note cue to the audio department's samplers. The end result was better control and flexibility," added Holbrook.
"The programming on this show was really a team effort. Lars Pedersen preprogrammed the Dataton and Scala in our shop. Jan Hartley, the designer, and Paul Vershbow programmed on-site. Tom Whipple was the video engineer, who optimized the projections and the hi-res FSR switcher for graphics, live camera, and video playback," concluded Holbrook.

FOX 8 received this news release from the New Orleans Mission Thursday afternoon:
The homeless of New Orleans are spreading messages of hope and love by writing open letters to the city. These letters are an authentic look into what brought them to homelessness and the steps that they are now taking to get back on their feet.
The campaign, called "Sincerely, Homeless," is the first of 2013 to raise awareness for the New Orleans Mission, a gospel rescue mission in the city that operates entirely on private donations, and the nearly 6,700 homeless individuals in the city. By giving the homeless a metaphorical microphone to share their stories, we're working to dispel the shame often associated with people who have hit hard times and also give a voice to those deemed the "invisible" members of society whom many people look past when encountering.
New Orleans, which has a rate of homelessness that ranks second only to New York, struggles to reduce the number of one out of every 53 citizens becoming homeless. Despite recent efforts by the city to improve the situation, homelessness continues to be a difficult issue that the New Orleans Mission is approaching from a different angle.
"Everyone hits a rough patch at some point in life," said David Bottner, the executive director of the New Orleans Mission. "Our goal with this campaign is to change the public's negative perception of the homeless, help people understand it's okay if they are struggling to get back on their feet and to encourage them to seek the help we and so many others offer."
The New Orleans Mission is a privately funded entity that relies on the donations of generous people and local grants to help support their various operations, services and programs.

Speaker Boehner Bashes NYT's Charlie Savage for False Reporting on Fast and Furious Scandal
Republican House Speaker John Boehner strongly objected to a slanted story on the Fast and Furious scandal by Times legal reporter Charlie Savage posted at the New York Times on Tuesday (it evidently did not make it into print).
The Daily Caller reported: "A spokesman for Speaker of the House John Boehner told The Daily Caller on Tuesday night that the New York Times published a false story alleging the speaker is trying to cut a deal with Attorney General Eric Holder over congressional subpoenas related to the Operation Fast and Furious scandal."
The Times reported late on Tuesday that Boehner had "opened direct negotiations with the Department of Justice aimed at resolving a dispute over subpoenaed information related to the botched gun-trafficking investigation dubbed Operation Fast and Furious." The story ran under the headline "Boehner in talks with Justice Dept. on gun-running inquiry."
Boehner spokesman Michael Steel, however, said the report is not true. He alleged that it illustrated a Holder-friendly bias among some establishment media outlets.
Boehner's office blogged the matter Tuesday:
This story shows how the mainstream media is ignoring this scandal and covering up for the Department of Justice. Staff for the Speaker, other leadership offices, and Chairman Issa have been encouraging Attorney General Holder's staff to comply for weeks or months to no avail, but there have certainly been no direct talks between the Speaker and Attorney General, and the department is still stonewalling."
Savage has previously downplayed the Fast and Furious 'gun-walking' scandal, when the Justice Department signed off on a plan that allowed guns to flow untracked into the U.S. and Mexico, putting thousands of illegally purchased firearms on the street, one of which led to the death of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry.
An October 2011 Savage story on Fast and Furious showed him in spin mode for the administration, emphasizing Attorney General Holder's wish 'to move past the political furor' and completely omitting a Holder admission of "inaccuracy" emphasized by the Washington Post. A December 2011 interview of Holder by Savage also downplayed the scandal, even allowing the attorney general to play the race card against his conservative critics.

from the beginning. Boehner wouldn't dare stab Issa in the back like that. This proves that the F&F scandal is ready to break wide open and the media is in full panic mode, resorting to outright lies. This one will go right to Obama, who directed Holder from the start.

I bet this was "leaked" to the reporter from Holder's office and he never even bothered to call Bohner's office to confirm.

Fast and Furious is more shameful than any other act carried out by the US government.
Worse than slavery, Mr Holder and Mr Obama.
Worse because when we had slavery, it was a legal and accepted practice worldwide, Fast and Furious was NEVER legal or accepted.

Simple Guy's View of This
Submitted by LSBeene on Thu, 06/07/2012 - 12:44pm.
I'm a simple guy. I mean, I can listen, absorb, and relate complex things, but often the "smart" amongst us try to use complexity as camouflage.
Fast and Furious (as I understand it) in a nutshell:
1) Have ATF agents convince gun shop owners to go against their better judgment (it was THEY who called the ATF in concern) and sell large amounts of weapons to questionable individuals.
2) Make no meaningful attempt to track or interdict those weapons. Only 2 trackers (our of over 2,000 weapons) were ever installed, and both, apparently, so badly that immediately they were damaged and their range was cut to dozens of yards. Also – make no test of said tracker once installed to ensure it WORKED. Huh?
3) Wait for said weapons to show up at crime scenes, and then, notionally, use that to "roll up" the cartels by arresting the shooter and flipping him.
Wait ….. WHAT!? That's insane. The Cartels' M.O. is to use a weapon to murder someone, and then wipe the weapon of prints and drop it at the scene. Meaning, for Operation Fast and Furious to WORK AS INTENDED, hundreds of people had to die. Some guilty, some innocent, but they had to DIE.
Then ….. what? The Gunman was going to wait around to be arrested?! And once arrested was going to flip on the cartels!? Seriously!?
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. Even a layman/woman civilian overview of the plan would never be credible. To a LEO or a Soldier (people who deal with unpleasant but often necessary scenarios all the time) it's just, well, dumb. And not in a "gee, the elite don't get operation plans" kind of dumb – no, dumb like "are you freaking kidding me?!" dumb.
Or, is it more likely that once HUNDREDS of death were reported in Mexico and along the Southern Border that an anti-gun agenda, specifically targeting "mom and pop" shops could have pre-prepared "waiting in the wings" legislation ready to go.
Further – think about it. If the gov't truly wanted those guns sold, and tracked, why not go to major arms manufacturers and set this whole thing up?
1) Because they want gun shops, where CIVILIANS buy guns to be the ones targeted for onerous laws and regulation. Gun shops = soft target.
2) Because they want gun manufacturers to continue to crank out product for gov't and foreign sales consumption – and, obviously, gun manufacturers aren't as naïve, have powerful lobbying groups, and well heeled lawyers. That's what we call a hard target.
What a vile crew of sociopaths. I mean, I'm a simple guy and that's what I'd call a group of people who got together to artificially create scenario like this. Not war gaming (the military), nor false-flag sabotage (CIA), or a Sting (police), or anything somewhat shady that all nations engage in on the world stage.
No, this was planned out pre-meditated accessory to murder specifically designed to horrify and outrage the U.S. (and Mexican) public, in order to further a political goal of restricting gun ownership.
It's analogous to starting a fire in someone's house using a their own gas lines, and then writing legislation outlawing and restricting gas usage – all the while you have a supply of oil for heating running to your own home.
I doubt it will happen, but several someones seriously need to put into a MEXICAN prison for these crimes.

After today's testimony or lack thereof of Holder it is appearent to me he is lying. They need to meet tomorrow and charge him with contempt. Instead they are saying it maybe July now. Why wait? He is hiding something to keep this whole thing from going to the Oval Office. If Issa could get his hands on the documents he needs Holder is through and Obama's chance of re-election is gone if the lamestream media will report the truth.
I am so sick and tired of Cummings running cover for Holder. He does not want the to get to the truth. None od the Commicrats on that committee want to know the truth.

---- — MT. VERNON — Students at the District 80 Primary Center not only learned about healthy eating habits and exercise on Tuesday, but were entertained in the process.
Food Play performed at the school, spreading its message in an effort to fight childhood obesity in a fun way."Food Play got its start in the early 80s," said Food Play stage manager Stephanie Thompson. "It's our fight against childhood obesity."According to information from the troupe, children follow the antics of Janey whose dream is to be a juggling superstart. With the help of the coach and the audience, JJ learns how to juggle the foods she eats to wind up with a balanced diet. "Food Play introduces USDA's My Plate food guide, helping children learn how to fill half their plates with fruits and veggies," information states. "Kids are encouraged to fuel up with breakfast every day, try a variety of whole grains, choose 'go' foods from all five food groups, and cut down on sugary, salty and fatty products. Students learn a host of ways to have fun being physically active every day, from participating in a sports team, destressing with yoga and dancing indoors on a rainy day."Primary Center Principal Shannon Marler said the troupe captured their audience during the performances."They are very dynamic and very motivated and motivating," Marler said. "It's interactive and the group held their attention well."The group was contacted after District 80 Food Services Director Darlene Brooks approached Marler. "Our food services director contacted me to see if we could bring them to the school to teach students about healthy eating and healthy lifestyles," Marler said. In addition to the program, Food Play will continue receive follow-up resources to keep the message alive all year long in the classroom and beyond.
