The Ravens have been a relatively healthy club on defense all season, with SS Tom Zbikowski the only starter (he has since lost the job to Bernard Pollard) missing any time in the first nine games. Nevertheless, there are a couple of injury concerns on that side of the ball, with MLB Ray Lewis' toe injury the biggest worry. The Carroll County (Md.) Times reported Thursday that Lewis would miss the Week 11 game vs. Cincinnati and perhaps multiple games with the injury. Lewis missed the entire week of practice leading up to Sunday's game and is listed as questionable. Brendon Ayanbadejo is listed as Lewis' backup. DT Haloti Ngata, meanwhile, is contending with a thigh injury that caused him to miss some practice leading up to the Week Nine game vs. Pittsburgh. Ngata, who has said the injury is improving, was credited with a season-high 11 tackles (eight assists) at Seattle in Week 10. "I'm up and down," Ngata said earlier this week, according to the club. "I think the week after I actually hurt my thigh, I was probably like 80 percent. It was a little bit more last week. It's getting better and better each week. I've just got to make sure I take care of it."

Sarcomas are cancers that occur in the soft tissues of the body. Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) affects cells called rhabdomyoblasts, immature cells which go on to form the skeletal muscles of the body. Although it is the most common soft tissue cancer in children, only about 350 cases are diagnosed each year in the United States.
Rhabdomyosarcoma occurs in two distinct age groups: children five years of age and under, who are most likely to have the embryonal form of disease; and adolescent children aged 14-20, who more often have alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. The overall five-year survival rate for rhabdomyosarcoma is 70% when detected in an early, treatable stage.
If your child has been diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma, we're here to help. Call 1-877-632-6789 to make an appointment or request an appointment online.
Why Choose MD Anderson?
- The Children's Cancer Hospital is within the No. 1 cancer center in America

Start with the kids. As with all things in Ptown, if you can get parents to sign kids up for camps and training, in a few years time you will have a well financed, well equipped league that can compete on a statewide level.

I know my son would love to learn to play - and he's in high school. Work with the Parks and Rec. Dept. to run a one time summer class on playing; either for kids or teens.

Thanks much for these good ideas. I will contact the Parks and Rec. Dept. for this and see if this can go into the Fall Activities Guide.

vacation rental description
Our comfortable 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath townhouse is located in George's Lighthouse Point on Ochlockonee Bay. That's in Panacea - about 40 miles south of Tallahassee on Hwy. 98. Right out our back door, we have a cozy little deck overlooking gorgeous Ochlockonee Bay. This is the good life that we all dream about!
Consider this your own private paradise and kick back and leave your troubles behind. Right across the way from our front door is the pool and tennis court. It doesn't get more convenient than that! Also, just a few steps away is Angelo's Restaurant, regularly voted as one of the "Top 100 Restaurants in Florida". Newly remodeled (courtesy of Hurricane Dennis 2005), Angelo's boasts mouth watering seafood (and other dishes), with indoor seating and casual outdoor seating right over the water!
We offer 1500 sq. ft. of living area, which includes 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, den, kitchen, dining area, deck and balcony. The family area is furnished with comfortable den furniture (including a double sleeper sofa) and is open to the dining area and the kitchen. The downstairs bedroom has a queen-size bed and has access to the half bath. The other two bedrooms and bathrooms are upstairs. The master bedroom is furnished with a king-size bed and offers a spectacular view from the balcony. Enjoy your morning coffee in privacy as you step from the bedroom out the back door onto the balcony. You can spend hours viewing wildlife on the bay or just enjoy watching the boats go by. The other upstairs guest room is furnished with 2 trundle beds (which equals 4 twin beds). Our accommodations will sleep 8-10 people comfortably. Perfect for most any size group or family.
The fishing is as good as it gets in this area. You can fish in the bay, head out for deep-sea fishing, or go down the river for fresh water fishing. We have it all!!! If you bring your boat, you can launch it at the boat launch on Mashes Sands Rd. (about 1 mi. away) and boat slips are available for rent on-site or at nearby Bayside Marina. If you don't have a boat, you can book a fishing charter with your choice of licensed captains, who are ready to take you out for an experience that you won't soon forget!
Another local attraction are the beaches. The closest beach is Mashes Sands in Panacea (less than 1 mi.). It offers a beautiful, small beach located on the bay. It is pretty shallow for a good ways out, offering safety for small children and a great opportunity for shelling. Next are the gorgeous beaches at Alligator Point and Bald Point State Park (about 7 mi.), where you can enjoy sunbathing, snorkeling, swimming, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, bird watching and nature study. Within a few minutes drive are two of the nation's TOP TEN RATED BEACHES, St. George Island State Park, near Apalachicola, and St. Joseph Peninsula State Park, near Port St. Joe. Both parks contain miles of undeveloped beaches, emerald waters and white sugar sand.
Other nearby attractions include St. Vincent National Wildlife Refuge, an unspoiled barrier island just offshore from the mouth of the Apalachicola River in the Gulf of Mexico. The island is a haven for endangered and threatened species, including bald eagles, wood storks, sea turtles, indigo snakes, gopher tortoises and red wolves. It is accessible only by boat. A favorite is Wakulla Springs State Park, one of the world's deepest freshwater springs, with swimming, nature boat rides and glass bottom boats. Wakulla Springs is known as the shooting location for several Tarzan movies, Creature from the Black Lagoon and Airport 77. From the river boat and glass bottom boat tours, you can see alligators, many species of wading birds, water fowl, fish, turtles, and snakes, in and among the crystal clear waters emerging from the depth of the springs. Kids love diving from the diving platform into the refreshing spring waters, which remain a constant 68-70 degrees year round. The St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge features the St. Marks Lighthouse, and offers a habitat for all kinds of Florida wildlife. (Bald eagles are often spotted here - so keep your eyes peeled!)
So the guys want to go fishing and you ladies don't ...NO PROBLEM! While they are catching speckled trout, Spanish mackerel, grouper, redfish (the list goes on), you can visit historic Apalachicola. Once a bustling sea port, this quaint village of about 5,000 still boasts a large shrimp fleet, a downtown shopping area with antiques, boutiques and local art, and beautiful restored houses from a bygone era. Once the third largest cotton port along the Gulf Coast, the Apalachicola/East Point area still harvests and processes 90% of the oysters consumed in Florida. Locally caught seafood is prepared in the many fine restaurants located in Panacea, Carrabelle, and Apalachicola. If you prefer to cook it yourself, fresh shrimp, oysters, and the catch of the day are available in the seafood houses dotted along the coast from Panacea to Port St. Joe.
Driving Directions: Take US 319 south from Tallahassee. At the intersection with US 98 take a right. Follow US 98 until you come to the Ochlockonee Bay Bridge. Turn left just before the bridge onto Mashes Sands Road. Georges Lighthouse Point is on the right, beside Angelo's Seafood Restaurant. We are Unit 9D.

By ERIK SCHELZIGAssociated Press
NASHVILLE (AP) - Republican Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey is opposing a National Rifle Association-backed effort to block public access to the state's handgun carry permits.
Ramsey tells The Associated Press that the ability to scrutinize the identities of people with handgun carry permits strengthens gun advocates' arguments that they are worthy of carrying loaded firearms in public.
Ramsey is one of the Legislature's top gun rights advocates and he's behind this year's bill that would allow gun permit holders to keep their weapons in their cars no matter where they are parked.
The last serious effort to seal the records passed the House in 2009 but failed in the Senate.
Republican Rep. William Lamberth of Gallatin, the bill's main sponsor, says he wants to protect permit holders' privacy.

As I mentioned in a previous review of another great beer store in DC, I really like beer places with caring, knowledgeable staff who put together basically the best collections they can with the space they have. This store also is that.
Schneider's has a good showing of things you come to expect at a beer store in DC, but also some rarities that you can't find elsewhere, namely they have some great west coast stuff from Alesmith and even Lost Abbey, which I have never seen in the DC area at all. They seem to be good at letting limited release stuff go to people who follow them on facebook/twitter or who come in regularly.
I went here for the first time tonight, and already met the beer guy John who realized instantly I was serious about beer and helped me to an LA Angel's Share and Coronado Idiot IPA. (Awesome) He seems very knowledgeable about his beer and seems to try to get good stuff when it's around, e.g. like Bell's limited release stuff like oracle or hopslam, (along with stuff like Weyerbacher, Founder's, Southern Tier, Goose Island, Mikkeller, Dogfish, Brooklyn, etc.)
They are limited by space, so you may end up not finding exactly what you are looking for, but for the most part they do pack that space in with great beer. Just be careful because they usually only have about 1-3 variaties of most breweries that are common around here...(space issue)Going on off hours might be best too, because it seems like it could get crazy if there were a lot of people in there! Also, the rarer stuff like Lost Abbey is priced high, but hey it beats having to trade for it and pay for shipping to the West Coast!
Recommended but nothing to seek out.

Pretty cool establishment, and the only decent craft beer shop in the Capitol Hill area. Be prepared for close quarters. They have an overwhelming selection of liquor and REALLY nice wines. In the back is the fairly formidable beer section, where the regular craft sixers are in the fridge, and the bombers and rare bottles are on racks. They occasionally get a few extra rare selections, but with the price tag to boot. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and really helpful. Overall a great establishment, and they make great use of the space.

Schneider's of Capitol Hill is literally a corner store turned into a beer/wine store. The aisles are very small, and it's always very cramped- especially when they're busy. The beer selection, while not huge, is pretty impressive. They have stuff there that I haven't seen anywhere else around N. Virginia or Maryland. Service has always been good there. When it's busy you're not going to get individual attention, but otherwise I've experienced good service here. Prices are a tad high, but not ridiculous for DC. Considering some of the hard to find stuff here- and that it's in DC- I can let that slide. I hit Schneider's once every couple months to see what they have- usually when I'm eating at La Loma, a nearby restaurant. Definitely a good place to check out if you're around Capitol Hill in DC. Cheers.

While small in scope beer-wise, this is a pretty cool place.
Atmosphere: Cramped. Jeez this place is cramped! However, when a place is good, isn't that a good sign?
Quality and service: The service is GREAT! For example: I called and asked the buyer to reserve me a Founders KBS 4-Pack several months ago when it was newly released. I didn't hear anything about it for about a month or so, but then, out of the blue, a call arose. This is but a small example of the great service.
Selection: While they have at least four times as much wine as they do beer, what they do have ranges from good to "you've gotta be kidding me." The DC motto of Taxation without representation is alive and well here. Lost Abbey, Alesmith, Ithaca, and many other out of the area breweries are commonplace.
Value: At least a few $ above what you might expect to pay, especially in the Virginia area....
One of my "go to" hot spots for sure!
NOTE: Whenever there is a popular beer release, always call and reserve your allotment. I've never not gotten on the list, and I call quite often.

I moved to Capitol Hill 6 months ago or so. Went here based on recommendations by other BA members.
I have been there during the day on weekday's mostly. I have never really ran into a big crowd, but I can see the place getting very cramped when busy.
I have always had great interactions with all of the staff. They are courteous and really know their beer (or they will find someone there that does).
I've been able to pick up some great stuff there. They have Port, Lost Abbey, Cantillon, Goose Island, Mikkeller, Brewdog, DFH semirares, and plenty of others. They recently had Ithaca and Cigar City in as well, which is very new to the area. They also get the rare "local" beers (such as Hopslam, KBS, Founders Imperial Stout, etc).
The price is a bit higher than outside of DC, but when you are a stones throw from the Capitol, you have to expect that. Think paying $1-2 more per 6er or bomber.
Love this place. It's my local beer shop. Recommend fully.

This is probably my go-to liquor store if I am in the Capitol Hill area or a last minute pit stop before heading out to MD or wherever BWP leads me. Schneider's has a vast selection of wine and spirits and, I understand, a very knowledgeable staff. They can provide great recommendations for lesser known labels that are cheaper than the named brands and better in quality too. I was told that anything with red price tags are the lowest prices possible and everything else is negotiable. However, I was never approached when I was looking at their small but high quality beer section (all refridgerated which is a nice plus especially when you want beer on the go). I usually pick up the Harpoon Leviathan series here and some random beers that are not usually available in similiar stores. The downside are the beer prices and the store is extremely small.

Wow this place is busy, but it is walking distance from Union station which, for me, is a huge plus!
This is a wine / liquor store that has some nice beer. It's the type of place that has very little macro crap available but plenty of regional and seasonal beers in bottle for an average price for the area.
The time I was there the place was SHOULDER TO SHOULDER middle aged people buying cases of wine and liquor...seriously. The staff was so eager to sell me my rodenbach that they INSISTED that I approach the counter which pinned an old man in his early 60's between me and counter, the inevitable confrontation resulted with a flurry of bumping into one another and apologizing, it was horrible.
The selection of everything but the beer is really impressive. The beer is OK, about 50 different bottles of something interesting but it will be an easy store to ignore in general, I don't know if I'll go back again.

This place is comically small. There is no room for browsing, comparison or contemplation. To pass someone in an aisle you will need to excuse yourself because you will likely be uncomfortably intimate with them as you pass.
This is more of a liquor/ wine store in the high-end capital hill tradition and the beers offered fit right in. A few small coolers in the back have some decent stuff but the fact that I had to 'dance' with four different people just to get a pair of six packs kind of put me off. They had Bells but no Hopslam so I was reasonably satisfied with Expedition and two-hearted. The parking lot is an afterthought so unless you live in the neighborhood I see no reason to stop here.

A staple on Capital Hill for years - and now on BeerFly, Schneider's is primarily a purveyor of spirits and wine. There is an intriguing selection of bottles on shelf and in freezer. I stuck my head in there last week and found - as I recall - the following: a nice selection of Bells, Racer 5 bombers, several styles of Allagash (Hugh Malone and a Belgian Stout); Anchor Christmas, many Belgian bombers, plenty of Stone products and many others.
Certainly not the most impressive selection of beer in the area, but enough making it worth a trip if in the area. I happen to work about 10 minutes from here, so I will no doubt swing by on the way home. The closest Metro is Union Station; Schneider's is a few blocks east on Mass Avenue.
They do have a very extensive single malt selection.

This region has an unique blend of influences from Africa, Europe and Latin America, which make up a wonderful 'patchwork quilt' of cultures amongst a breathtaking backdrop of lush tropical jungles, fresh water caves, sugar white-sand beaches, turquoise seas, charming cities and ancient ruins.
There are a range of languages spoken in the Caribbean, English on many islands, Spanish in Puerto Rico, French in Guadeloupe and Martinique and Dutch in Curaçao. There is also a colourful dialect or patois, which shows influences from several European languages. Famous for their laid-back life style, the locals are as special as the Caribbean islands themselves. Always welcoming, their leisurely outlook on life will soon help you unwind, especially with a little help from a freshly prepared cocktail or two. Ashore, choose between bustling local markets, or escape it all on a seemingly endless, deserted beach. On board, tropical themed party nights will bring you dancing under the stars as you cruise to your next port of call.
The Caribbean Really is Made for Cruise Holidays.
Combining cloudless blue skies with white sandy beaches makes the Caribbean the ultimate cruise destination. There are over 7,000 islands in the Caribbean lying between the southern tip of the eastern United States and the north coast of South America. A Caribbean cruise will take you to the Dutch Antilles islands, the US Virgin islands, the Spanish legacy in Cuba and Puerto Rica and British influences in islands such as Barbados, Jamaica and St Lucia. The islands of Guadeloupe, Martinique, St Barthelemy and St Martin are all Departments D'Outremer of France.
Caribbean Cruise itineraries are often divided into three broad areas:-
Eastern Caribbean Cruises Offer:
Of all the cruising areas of the world, the Eastern Caribbean offers the most choice. Caribbean Cruises not only sail from the areas main Florida ports but also East Coast ports such as New York. The Eastern Caribbean cruises includes the British and American Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and St. Maarten / St. Martin. Many itineraries will also include a call in the Bahamas.
Western Caribbean Cruises Offer:
Turquoise waters and scenic islands make the Western Caribbean cruises a snorkelling paradise and a treasure trove for Mayan archaeological ruins. Typical ports of call include Belize, Grand Caymen, Key West, and ~Jamaica.
Southern Caribbean Cruises Offer:
The Southern Caribbean cruises is the most exotic and diverse of the three Caribbean cruise areas. Aruba and Antigua offer the best beaches in the Caribbean and for scenery ranging from volcanoes to rain forests visit Martinique, St. Lucia and Guadeloupe. Other ports of call include Barbados, Curacao, Dominica, Grenada, Puerto Rico, St. Barth's and St. Kitts.
Few destinations offer such an enticing combination of sun-drenched tropical splendour and cultural diversity as the Caribbean islands. The Caribbean is one of the world's best-loved holiday destinations.Amazing offers for Caribbean

Under a crisp blue Houston sky, in the heart of the world's biggest center of healing, sat a basket bearing 240 odd envelopes, representing nearly 5,000 years of collective study.
They call it "match day" when graduates of the UTHealth Medical school learn where they will train as residents for the next four or five years of their lives.
You can understand why on match day, destiny draws a crowd.
While each of the current class of young doctors will get the opportunity to fully develop, without more taxpayer funding, experts say there won't be enough medical residencies to meet exploding demand.
"One thing we know is that there is a health care shortage and we all expect that to get worse over the next few years, so we've got to have these doctors," said Dr. LaTanya Love with UTHealth Medical School.
On the edge of the crowd stood Sabrina Browne, an aspiring child psychiatrist fully supported by her biggest fan.
"I want her to be happy. I want her to make a difference. I want her to feel that her being a doctor has improved at least one person's life," said Jeanette Browne, Sabrina's mother.
When it came time for the envelopes open, jubilation was the rule.
"I'm Jessica Hellums and I just matched," said the Austin native. Hellum's headed to Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston as an anesthesiologist in the making.
Asked if she had dreamed of this day Hellum's replied, "More like nightmares, but it turned out to be a pretty good dream!"
Josh Racone's heading to California's Loma Linda University Medical Center, his dreams of becoming a doctor nurtured at Houston's Debakey High School for the Medical Professions.
"I wanted to change lives," said Josh.
As for Sabrina Browne, who lost a brother in the year before heading to med school, the match delivered would perfectly hit her mark.
"I got Southwestern!" she screamed rushing to embrace her Mom.
"She's coming home ! She's coming home! She's coming Home!," cried Jeanette, "I'm so happy!"

Ate all evening meals in the MDR. Our waiter Christian and his assistant Ernesto were very good. Always willing to make adjustments to the meals if needed and even got us a couple of extra lobster tails and shrimps. They were both polite and attentive. We really enjoyed them and their service.
Also enjoyed dining in the WJ although sometimes it was pretty crowded and you had to maneuver around. The food selection throughout the ship was excellent.
Took the ATV through the jungle excursion in Cozumel. It was okay and I crossed it off my bucket list.
Enjoyed Christopher and Dwayne in the Grand Caymans on our Stingray city excursion. Highly recommend it!
The best was the whitewater rafting excursion in Jamaica on the Rio Bueno river. Errol was an excellent guide and we had a blast, will definitely do that one again.
Hated getting off the ship in Galveston, but alas all things must come to an end. Disembarking was a dream. We were off the ship and on the road within an hour. Recommend getting a porter to help with luggage.
Enjoyed all the shows on board especially the Las Vegas Tenors and Eta May.
The crew was very helpful and Steve and Cuddy were a riot. Everyone made us feel important and welcome. Can't wait for the next cruise. Too bad the Mariner is on her way to China. I wish her and her crew all the best.

I well remember the first wild turkey I ever saw. I was birding in Alleghany State Park with a friend, Kay McCann, and she said, "Let's walk down this trail to the river. About a week ago, someone saw a wild turkey near here." We went down the trail and sure enough, on the far bank of the river were two wild turkeys getting a drink. We froze in our tracks, and the big birds continued to drink.
Tuesday and Wednesday, Nov. 1 and 2, Loie Evans identified an immature surf scoter on Evergreen Lake. No matter how good a birder you are or how sure you are of your identification, it is always a good idea to have at least one other person see and identify a rare bird.
When I was in fifth grade, we were required to learn a poem and present it before our class. The poem I chose to learn and recite was the one printed below.
The First Snowfall
The snow had begun in the gloaming,
And busily all the night
Had been heaping field and highway
With a silence deep and white.
Every pine and fir and hemlock
Wore ermine too dear for an earl,
And the poorest twig on the elm tree
Was ridged inch deep with pearl.
From sheds new-roofed with Carrara
The first Townsend's solitaire that I ever saw was shortly after we moved to Colorado in April 1965. I was looking around our new yard and saw a strange gray bird just across the road, clinging to a giant mullein stalk in the open valley above Little Cub Creek. I watched it digging insects out of the dead mullein stalk and thought how often I had seen downy woodpeckers acting in the same manner.
When I was out on the patio to catch some of the fine fall sunshine the other day, I was sworn at with a loud, vociferous, emphatic blast of squirrel language. The western red squirrel, which has been challenging me all summer, had in just a few cold days claimed the patio as his territory with firm determination and loud raucous cussing at everyone else who thought to claim it for a few hours.
The first snow has fallen. Unfortunately, it came three weeks early this year. However, the fall color is still brilliant in some places, and we still have nice weather next week, according to the weatherman.
I feel that it is early, since the first wet, soggy snow usually arrives on Halloween as if it were a mean trick, leaving all the new kids freezing in their thin costumes. You can always tell the newcomers from anyone who has lived here a few years because they learn to buy Halloween costumes large enough to go over their winter parkas.
When I have time to sit out in the autumn sunshine, my favorite occupation is watching how all the various wild creatures that visit my yard are getting ready for winter. Nearly all of the "summer" birds have prepared for winter by leaving.
It's that time of year again when everyone is out looking at aspen leaves. Nothing makes Colorado's scenery more beautiful than the gold of aspen leaves. We have aspen bowls through mile upon mile of our mountain country, nestled among the dark green of pines, spruces and firs. They are golden treasure for everyone to admire and share.
I am amazed that Denver has not long since built and sponsored an Aspen Bowl where it could host and play major football games.
As summer comes to an end, fall arrives with its rich fullness of color. The end of the growing season is marked by the gold of aspen and the abundance of maturing seeds.

Although, if Hahn had his way, he'd like the perception that the Sox don't use advanced stats to persist. "It makes it easier for us to maneuver when they don't know where we're going to go," Hahn said.

Low Hall Lane Nursery is facing a 'crisis in funding' according to parents and governors
Updated 2:00pm Wednesday 29th January 2014 in News By Zachary Norman, Reporter
Full-time day care places at a nursery school rated outstanding in its last three Ofsted inspections could be lost because of a funding crisis.
Low Hall Lane Nursery School and Children's Centre, in Low Hall Lane, Walthamstow, must enrol more children in less than three weeks or face a significant cut to services.
An emergency meeting held with parents and staff on Tuesday revealed that a drop in enrolments meant a significant restructure could be imminent – resulting in shortened hours and potential job losses.
The nursery, rated outstanding three times since 2006, currently has 97 children on its books.
Governor and parent Dan Edelstyn said: "It's the best place in our area, undoubtedly a treasure to the children who attend and their families.
"It would be very sad to see such an amazing community resource close."
He said enrolments have decreased because the centre lacks visibility - both to passers-by and to the "increasingly technologically savvy" parents in the borough.
"We need online presence to show what an exceptional place this is. The only thing we're missing is awareness," he said.
"There's a crisis in early years education and here's a place that's struggling to catch people's attention."
Governors five additional children must enrol for full-time day care by February 11 to prevent the cuts.
Executive headteacher Sandra Campbell said: "To lose such a valuable community resource would be a real blow to the parents and children of west Walthamstow.
"Low Hall Nursery has long been seen as a beacon in terms of its special needs provision and general early years foundation stage education.
Interm deputy headteacher Mandy Douglas said: "We want to keep the nursery daycare open next year, service the community and providing a happy and constructive environment for the children who come here."
An open day will be held at the nursery school on Thursday, running from 8am until 11am and from 1pm until 2.30pm.

Could it be that the ratio of special needs to mainstream children is too high? Some parents may be put off from paying for their child to attend a nursery if they think it specialises in statemented children.

Black Friday shoppers often return to their car with packages to unburden themselves before heading back into the mall or shopping center for a second round of purchases. For years, shoppers have been urged to keep packages and purses out of sight by locking them in the trunk or other area where they aren't easily visible to potential thieves.
That's still good advice, according to Sumiton Assistant Police Chief Scott Karr, but he said holiday shoppers need to be more vigilant than ever this holiday season as law enforcement is seeing new scams to take advantage of unsuspecting citizens. An alert Karr sent out last week to the members of the Sumiton-area Business Alliance warned of a new type of thieves called "sliders."
These thieves pull up to a fuel pump next to a vehicle as they are also purchasing fuel. While the unsuspecting driver is distracted by fueling their car, a passenger slips from the other vehicle, remains low and removes the purse, packages or other valuables from the target's vehicle, before sliding back into their own car and driving away. Although Karr said his department hadn't had any reports of this specific type of incident, it has been happening all over the country.
He urged motorists to never leave their vehicles unlocked, even if they remain beside their cars.
"A lot of people don't think about that risk at gas stations, but, especially during this 'stealing season,' people need to be more aware and cautious of their surroundings," Karr said.
Other tips from police:
•Shop with friends, if possible. There is safety in numbers. If you are shopping alone, try to walk across the parking lot with a group and stay in well-lit areas.
•Have your keys in hand before you leave the safety of the store. Don't wait to search for your keys when you reach your car.
•Don't leave your purse unattended in shopping carts.
•Since holiday shopping crowds are often so dense, avoid carrying a purse if possible.
•If you are going to lock your purse in your trunk, do so before arriving at your destination. Criminals often lurk in parking lots, looking for those potential targets.
•Don't carry large amounts of cash. Use debit or credit cards and keep them in a holder on your person.
•Ask security officers or store associates to assist you, where available.

The topic degenerated more than I was expecting.You're drawing comparisons between Canon and Kodak. Talk about a degenerating subjet. Please explain how canon are doing the same mistakes as Kodak did. Don't come dragging with third party sensors that Nikon is buying.
Let me explain myself again: I never said that Canon sells more cameras and that for this reason Nikon (or whatever) is better.
I'm saying that sale figures mean nothing because a lot of things affect them - and few of them are related to quality and performance. Not least the reputation of a certain company, but this is something developed over years and thus not a measure of the situation in one single given moment. Canon has been leading for decades, and the situation is not going to change in a day or a year - in the same way as Kodak didn't go bankrupt over one night.
As for the quality itself, in every area I know the best manufacturers are niche manufacturers, and most people didn't even ever hear of them. We end users should care about the individual quality of the products we buy, not about how many of them are sold. The fact that your lens/camera is a best seller won't make your photos better.
Please read my post again.
I didn't say Canon is going the same way of Kodak. It was an example to explain how big companies require a long time-span to noticeably gain or lose market share or to improve/damage their reputation permanently. For this reason sale figures are not reliable data to describe the situation at one specific time.
In practical terms it means that Canon (and the likes) could screw up a whole generation of cameras and get away with that with little damage in sale figures. That wouldn't change the fact that those cameras are screwed.
Example: Sony didn't lose the lead in the TV market over one day or one year. It happened little by little that the general opinion of who produced the best TVs was not Sony any more.
I don't know what is so difficult to understand.
