Pet owners need to check what treats they're giving their dogs.
Thousands of dogs have gotten sick, nearly 600 have died and it's possibly linked to a type of treat.
The Food and Drug Administration said over the last six years, jerky tenders or strips made of chicken, duck, sweet potatoes and/or dried fruit have sickened more than 3,600 dogs and several cats.
"Everybody who's been feeding some of these treats, it's probably a good idea to just come in and get checked out," said Dr. John Rowe, a veterinarian.
Rowe is not feeding the jerky treats. Dogs under his watch at his south Kansas City clinic are getting real chicken treats and nothing processed or from China.
China is the common denominator in the illnesses. The FDA has been making trips to manufacturers there but still can't determine the problem.
There are no specific brands, but if a person has jerky animal treats that were made in China, officials highly recommend to stop using them right away.
"The symptoms you want to watch for are decreased appetite, changes from normal activity, lethargic, vomiting and diarrhea," Rowe said.
There's been no recall at this point of any of the treats, but several companies have pulled their product for testing.
Doctors said the symptoms can come on quickly after ingesting the treats and many times it can be too late. They tell pet owners to get their pet to the veterinarian immediately if they suspect they're sick from treats.
The FDA is also asking anyone who has a pet that has gotten sick from the treats to save the leftovers in case they need to be tested.
The FDA also released a statement that said, "Our beloved four-legged companions deserve our best effort and we are giving it."
The agency also released a letter to veterinarians asking that they provide samples from affected animals and continue to report on jerky-related illnesses.

Sunday, August 24, 2014
After years of chamber music frustration in Sonoma State University's Ives and Weill halls, the Trio Navarro basked in acoustical clarity Aug. 24 at their debut concert in the university's new Schroeder Hall. The acoustics in Weill before small audiences, and with lush romantic chamber music, made ...

Jeffrey Kahane returns frequently to Sonoma County in conducting and concerto performance, but rarely in recital.

Saturday, August 23, 2014
A choral concert by the Sonoma Bach Choir was a fitting opening for the new Schroeder Hall at Sonoma State University on Aug. 23. After all, the idea for the Green Music Center came many years ago from Don Green, who at the time was singing in the Bach Choir, conducted then and now by Bob Worth. Th...

Full disclosure. I'm an amateur--very amateur--violist, so Friday's Music in the Vineyards concert in Napa Valley was of particular interest to me. The program featured two sextets with prominent viola parts; a trio for viola, flute and piano; and the pičce de résistance: a quartet for four violas. ...

At each Mendocino Music Festival a key evening is given over to a staged opera in the big tent, and last year Rossini's frothy "Il Signor Bruschino" was an audience hit but hardly comprehensive operatic fare. Times change. Mozart's weighty opera Don Giovanni was given a propulsive but often confus...

APSC WOOS WELLS CENTER AUDIENCE WITH AN AUTUMN ROMANCEby Peter Jaret
Sunday, November 20, 2011
One measure of the maturity of an orchestra is the ability to shape its sound to the personal musical vision of a guest conductor. So far this season, the American Philharmonic Sonoma County is proving that it has come of age, playing with great sensitivity and musicality under the direction of guest conductors, each being considered for the position of permanent music director. The orchestra's first concert was led by Sonoma County native Tristan Arnold, in a technically-assured performance that got the season off to a strong start.

Meet Cybergirl Katherine Claire, a honey blonde from Los Angeles, California. Petite – 5'4" – with shapely hips and natural breasts, Katherine is Eastern European – born in Moldova, near Romania, she moved to California when she was a child. "I grew up in the States, but I'm fluent in Russian," she says. "Los Angeles is so diverse. I just love it." Katherine is a woman of many talents – a loving vegetarian, she's a student in communications, an architectural planner, and a Pilates instructor. "I've been modeling since I was seventeen," she says. "At eighteen I became Miss Calabasas, and two years later, I went out for Miss California." From there, Katherine had the opportunity to be a model – not to mention the creative director – for a local calendar. "I styled myself and the other models, and hired the hairdresser, makeup artist and photographer," she says. "It was a learning experience." In a twist of fate, one of our producers saw the calendar, and invited Katherine to appear on the Playboy Morning Show. In her free time, Katherine hangs out with her friends, and when it comes to guys, she knows what she wants. "I like a guy who's kind, generous and a good listener," she says, "but he should be fun and adventurous, too." With a mind and body like Katherine's, she can have her cake and eat it, too. "I love to meet new people," she says, "but I have to admit, a relationship is nice."

WSU Vancouver Critical Culture, Gender, and Race Studies
Upcoming events
Aug 25, 2014 8:00am
Aug 26, 2014 2:00pm
Aug 27, 2014 11:00am
Offered as: Minor
The Critical Culture, Race, & Gender Studies program at WSU Vancouver is an interdisciplinary field that places gender at the center of inquiry, considering the ways that class, race, ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, age and ability shape the human experience. This program can be used as a secondary concentration for either the Bachelor of Arts in Humanities or the Bachelor of Arts in Social Sciences.
For students pursuing a degree in Humanities, the program allows for the development of an interdisciplinary framework for future study or teaching. For students in the Social Sciences, it offers similar grounding, but may also be used as part of preparation for a career providing counseling, consulting or health services to women and families.
Critical Culture, Race, & Gender Studies is a flexible, versatile degree that can be used in many careers, and as a minor can complement many majors. Critical Culture, Race, & Gender Studies courses provide students with valuable skills in writing, critical thinking, research, public presentation, and leadership. In addition, employers are increasingly aware of the need to deal with gender and diversity issues in the workplace, and value applicants with such training.
If you are interested in declaring a minor in Women's Studies, please contact: Shellynda Michalek, 360-546-9106. Women's Studies Formal Minor checksheet (PDF)

Forget the conventional wisdom that says veggies must be grown on vast farms in the Midwest. What if commercial-scale crops took root inside cavernous city warehouses, without sunlight or soil?
Apple's retail stores aren't the only place where lines form these days. It's 7:30 on a July morning, and already a crowd has gathered for the opening of Trader Joe's newest outpost, in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood. The waiting shoppers chat about their favorite Trader Joe's foods, and a woman in line launches into a monologue comparing the retailer's West Coast and East Coast locations. Another customer suggests that the chain will be good for Chelsea, even though the area is already brimming with places to buy groceries, including Whole Foods and several upscale food boutiques.

So much for consumers buckling down and pinching every single penny.
If you're in New York City with only $10 in your pocket, Julio Ortiz-Teissonniere has you covered.
Whole Foods' CEO John Mackey is known for his tendency to shoot from the hip.
Looking for more evidence that maybe, just maybe, those green shoots aren't really just sprouts of crabgrass? Look no further than the comeback of Whole Foods Market.
Whole Foods shares have more than doubled this year as investors bet that recovering consumers will return to the high-end grocery chain.
Truth be told, most of us are happy just to have a job.....any job....right now. But wait a minute, take a look at yourself in the mirror. You're no slouch. Actually, you're pretty impressive. So why shouldn't you have a truly awesome job, even in this economy? And just to remind you, really cool jobs do exist. At great companies. That are still hiring. In fact, at Fortune we have a big fat list of 'em. The 100 Best Companies to Work For. (Whoomp! There it is.)
Dear Annie: I've been working with a recruiter on finding my next job, and he just told me that one possibility (an opening for a manufacturing manager with a midsized company) will require that I undergo a panel interview, meaning an interview conducted by a group of prospective colleagues and bosses, all in the room at the same time. I've never been interviewed by a group before. Is this unusual? Do you have any advice on how to succeed at it? -Stage Fright in St. Louis
Let's face it: Your weekly (or daily!) run to the grocery store is the foundation for your good health. So it's thrilling news that the supermarket industry is on a health kick -- these days you'll most likely find organic produce and "natural" packaged foods at almost any store you go to. But which chains are outdoing themselves to deliver the freshest and healthiest foods to you? And which ones provide the best tools to help you make smart choices? We asked six prominent health experts to help us pick the top 10 healthiest grocery stores out of the nation's largest chains. Health.com: Meet our judges
While many companies are now rushing to "go green," recent surveys show American consumers are getting turned off by the organic hype for three reasons: price, skepticism and confusion.
Dear FSB: I have developed a natural food line. Where should I send samples?
On a recent trip to Saks, I loaded up on a tomato-red Diane von Furstenberg dress and a pair of black wool Tory Burch pants - at deeply discounted prices. Turns out investors are starting to do the same with battered retail stocks, which have limped through one of the worst years in recent history and are now trading near historically low prices.
Walk into a London supermarket, read the label on a bag of Walker's crisps - that's what the British call potato chips - and you will learn that 75 grams of carbon dioxide were emitted when making the 34.5-gram package. What does that mean? I have no idea. Nor do most Brits.
In 1994, Walter Robb, then a regional president at a fast growing natural foods chain called Whole Foods, chose a new primary distributor to handle the bulk of the deliveries to his stores in Northern California.
Concern about the economy plagued U.S. stocks at Wednesday's open, with the major indicators significantly lower.
What does the future of management look like to you? Can you imagine dramatic changes in the way human effort is mobilized and organized? Can you envision radical and far-reaching changes in the way managers manage? Don't be dismayed if the answer is no. Given how little the practice of management has changed over the past several decades, it's hardly surprising that most people have a hard time imagining how management might be reinvented in the decades to come.
Whole Foods Market Inc. said Tuesday it finally closed its acquisition of Wild Oats Markets Inc., creating a larger natural and organic grocery chain, following months of delays as U.S. antitrust authorities sought to block the deal.
A federal appeals court on Thursday cleared the way for Whole Foods Market Inc. to buy rival organic grocer Wild Oats Markets Inc.

A federal appeals court on Thursday denied a request from the Federal Trade Commission to temporarily block Whole Foods Market Inc. from merging with rival Wild Oats Markets Inc., a Whole Foods spokeswoman said.
A federal appeals court Monday posed the latest hurdle to the Whole Foods' buyout of Wild Oats, saying it wanted more time to review federal regulators' attempt to block the deal.
Wild Oats Markets Inc said Monday that its acquisition by Whole Foods Market Inc. cannot yet close since an appeals court issued a stay, which was requested by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission.
U.S. antitrust authorities again lost a request Friday for a federal court injunction that would stop organic grocer Whole Foods from merging with rival Wild Oats.

U.S. antitrust authorities wrapped up their arguments Wednesday against Whole Foods Market Inc.'s proposed acquisition of Wild Oats Markets Inc., telling a federal judge the deal was about eliminating competition.
Whole Foods Market Inc. and rival Wild Oats Markets Inc. head to court Tuesday, hoping to convince a federal judge to allow their proposed merger to proceed over the objections of U.S. antitrust authorities.
Whole Foods Market Inc. posted a decline in quarterly profit on Tuesday, but still beat estimates, as it opened more stores, sparking a 10 percent jump in its shares.
Entrances to Whole Foods locations in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut swarmed with shoppers Wednesday morning who had lined up to buy limited-edition canvas bags designed by Anya Hindmarch.
Whole Foods Market Inc. said Tuesday its board of directors formed a special committee to conduct its own investigation into online posts made under a pseudonym by its CEO John Mackey.
Whole Foods' $5.6 billion in sales make it the largest purveyor of organic and natural food. Its planned acquisition of Wild Oats would make it even bigger, but the government wants to halt the deal. The 53-year-old founder and CEO answers your questions about the merger as well as some from Fortune's Matthew Boyle.
Whole Foods, the nation's popular and fast-growing chain of "healthy" supermarkets, makes you feel good about groceries the moment you enter. Its mountains of lustrous produce, farmer's-market ambience and declared mission to provide you with the freshest natural and organic products make it seem as though you're doing a good deed for yourself and the environment. But not everything at Whole Foods is all that wholesome. And buying there could cost you a lot more than at other supermarkets—which is why some dub the store "Whole Paycheck." When you shop there, keep these pointers in mind.
Is the Whole Foods-Wild Oats merger dead or does the deal still have the faintest hope of a heartbeat?
The chief executive of Whole Foods Market told his board of directors the $565 million acquisition of rival Wild Oats Markets would avoid "nasty price wars" in several markets, according to a federal court filing unsealed Tuesday.

From what I saw tonight of Love, it appears he does have the wrinkles but not all of them. Love IMO did not box very well and he made many mistakes that I see needed some immediate correction and for all the boxing experience that Floyd Jr has it appears he was not telling him the necessary corrections he needed in that fight to be more highly effective.
J'Leon went willing to the ropes from the mere pressure/presence of Findley coming forward without even throwing punches, he never used the uppercut enough as the shorter man (Findley) rushed in with his head down, he didn't double his jab nor did he use it enough throughout the fight and often he fought down to the height of his opponent.
Still and all I think he did gain a valuable source of experience from this fight and will be better for it but he will definitely have to step it up on the learning curve if he's gonna wanna compete at the highest levels and face the likes of the Martinez's and maybe even move up to face the Ward's of the divisions.
Your thoughts??

Manager Bruce Bochy of the San Francisco Giants put a lineup on the field for Game 1 that scored eight runs. Apparently not wanting to mess with success, the same lineup will serve the Giants for Game 2 (* indicates lefthanded hitter, # indicates switch-hitter):
1. Angel Pagan#, CF
2. Marco Scutaro, 2B
3. Pablo Sandoval#, 3B
4. Buster Posey, C
5. Hunter Pence, RF
6. Brandon Belt*, 1B
7. Gregor Blanco*, LF
8. Brandon Crawford*, SS
9. Madison Bumgarner, P
This lineup will be facing Tigers righthander Doug Fister, who has never faced the Giants. In fact, Fister has faced just one player on the Giants' postseason roster -- Scutaro, from his time in the American League. Scutaro is 1-for-11 against Fister with two walks. So this sort of preview has little or no predictive value.
Instead, I'll tell you a bit about Bumgarner as a hitter -- he's one of those unusual lefthanders who bats righthanded. Sandy Koufax was perhaps the most famous one, though Koufax was a terrible hitter. Bumgarner can hit, a little: he hit two home runs during the 2012 regular season, though he struck out 25 times in 68 at-bats and has been 0-for-2 (both strikeouts) so far this postseason.

TOWSON, Md. – The Towson University Department of Athletics will participate in the Colonial Athletic Association Student-Athlete Advisory Committee's inaugural food drive challenge, addressing the need for food donations community-wide to fight hunger.
The Tiger softball, women's lacrosse, women's basketball and men's basketball teams will all have collection boxes in place Saturday, March 2 at their games that day. In addition, collections boxes will be made available in residence halls, the University Union and West Village Commons. They will collect non-perishable food items in conjunction with local food banks.
Travelstead Transportation Group is working with the Tigers on this outreach project as part of their Move for Hunger initiative.
Towson will be competing with eight other schools in the CAA to see who can provide the most donations. The winner will be based on the number of pounds of non-perishable food collected. The winning institution will receive a trophy presented by CAA Commissioner Tom Yeager in March.
The idea was conceived by the league's SAAC at its Leadership Summit last fall. Prior to the CAA's new initiative, it also participated in an annual blood drive for 11 years. The drive raised nearly 37,000 units of blood.
All attendees of the Tiger events that day are encouraged to help support the cause.

As I've been saying since one day after the 2004 speech that made him the leading candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008, Barack Obama is a walking delusion and deception machine. Here's the latest from the self-declared "American exceptionalist" Obama, the supposed "progressive" peacenick and civil libertarian who holds such a powerful death grip on the hopes, hearts and minds of millions of liberal and other Americans: "I categorically denounce any statement," Obama proclaims, "that disparages our great country or serves to divide us from our allies." This lovely statement can be found on The Huffington Post (March 14, 2008) at http://www.huffingtonpost.com/barack-obama/on-my-faith-and-my-church_b_91623.html.
Wow. This stark and sweeping utterance came in response to the public release and broadcast by numerous television stations of "inflammatory" (Obama says) statements made by his longtime South Side Chicago pastor Jeremiah Wright. Besides denouncing the "United States of White America" for advancing and being "based upon" racism past and present, Rev. Wright ruffled the feathers of imperial and nationally narcissistic political correctness by having said the following (millions of media consumers have recently learned) on the Sunday after the terror attacks of 9/11: "We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africa, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards.
Wright's comments may have been technically accurate in critical ways but Obama has no choice but to distance himself from them and his "extremist" pastor – no choice if he is serious about winning the Democratic presidential nomination, that is The words of the charismatic Afrocentric pastor who once brought Obama "to Jesus" have to be "reject[ed] outright" and condemned as "appalling" – Obama's words on The Huffington Post. The urgency of doing so is particularly great after Clinton campaign has challenged Obama's qualifications to be "commander in chief" – prompting the "antiwar" candidate to assemble a team of retired U.S. military commanders to declare their manly and martial support for "No Drama Obama" at a bizarre special press conference in Chicago – and as Obama girds his imperial loins for an epic contest with the American military hero and Iraq invasion uber-hawk John ("Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran") McCain.
While I don't have a lot of problems with Rev. Wright's comments – they accurately describe key aspects of American reality with greater accuracy and honestly than do the depressing centrist twaddle, vapid bromides, and false populist posturing that is regularly served up for the bewildered herd by Hillary Clinton and her moral-ideological twin Obama – I do get that Obama has to run from the man who baptized his children if he wants the nomination. "No shock Barack" (as one of the retired generals deployed to
But the claim to "denounce any statement that disparages our great country" is a little too over the top even for the audacious Obama, who takes special delight in saying remarkably reactionary things even while pandering to the left. It carries extremist rightward and nationalist implications that ought to send a chill down the spines of anyone who wishes to see the rescue and expansion of a democratic political culture in a nation that has been slipping further and further into a form of what the prolific left political analyst Charles Derber calls "Fascism Lite." Such a culture requires honest and comprehensive scrutiny of existing national and social structures, policies, and practices. It privileges critical thinking and candid societal self-examination over blind obedience to flag, blood, and soil. It values rigorous truth-seeking and truth-telling over the often negative and authoritarian reference group that is the Nation State. It expects a nation's defenders to respond to criticism of that nation's policies or social structures or culture (or fill in the blank) with reasoned argument, not cold and "categorical" DENUNCIATION.
Don't like hearing that imperial
Obama has given that sort of consideration — privileging reasoned discussion over flat denunciation — to the many good Republican friends he's made at places like the Harvard Law Review, the Illinois State Assembly, and the U.S. Senate.
Obama's comment suggests that one indulges in malevolent / "anti-Americanism" if one dares to acknowledge and criticize any or all of what Dr. King called "the triple evils that are interrelated" (racism, economic inequality/poverty, and militarism-imperialism) in relation to the United States.
Does Obama "categorically denounce" Dr. King's reference (at Riverside Church in New York City on April 4, 1967) to the U.S. as "the leading purveyor of violence in the world" – a description that holds all too much relevance and accuracy more than forty years after King advanced it, in a time when the U.S. has undertaken a five year assault on Iraq "more disastrous than that of the Mongols who sacked Baghdad in the thirteenth century," as the respected journalist Nir Rosen notes in a December 2007 Current History article titled "The Death of Iraq."
Equally suspect under Obama's Huffington Post formulation, it would seem, are honest descriptions of the
Here it seems worth remembering that "although he often cites his background as a civil rights lawyer, Obama voted to reauthorize the Patriot Act in July 2005, easily the worst attack on civil liberties in the last half-century. It allows," Matt Gonzales has recently noted, "wholesale eavesdropping on American citizens under the guise of anti-terrorism efforts."
The Patriot Act was justified and enabled, of course, by the terror attacks that Rev. Wright had correctly but unacceptably (for Obama, Cheney, the rest of the U.S. power elite and the broader conventional "American exceptionalist" wisdom) linked to U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East, consistent with James Madison's observation that "the fetters imposed on liberty at home have ever been forged out of the weapons provided for defense again real, pretended, or imaginary dangers abroad."
Explaining why he once associated with the "appalling" Reverend Wright, Obama's Huffington Post essay notes that, "Rev. Wright preached the gospel of Jesus, a gospel on which I base my life."
Is that right? In the spring of 1967, after he went public with his principled opposition to the Vietnam War, Martin Luther King was approached by liberal and left politicos to consider running for the United States Presidency. King turned the activists down, saying that he preferred to think of himself "as one trying desperately to be the conscience of all the political parties, rather being a political candidate…I've just never thought of myself as a politician." The minute he threw his hat in the American winner-take-all presidential ring, King knew, he would be encouraged to compromise his increasingly leftist and fundamentally moral message against racism, social inequality, and militarism.
Reflecting his chastening confrontation with the concentrated black poverty and class oppression in the "liberal" urban North and the horrors of
As King knew, his critical perspectives on
They were also richly consistent with what Frederick Douglass called "the Christianity of Christ," very different from what Douglass considered the false American Christianity that justified slavery, Indian Removal, and other abominations. As the prolific scholar Gary Wills notes in his book What Jesus Meant (2006), the Jesus that emerges from a serious reading of the gospels is an uncompromising enemy of wealth and hierarchy who said that "it is easier for a camel to get through a needle's eye than for a rich to enter into God's reign" (Mark, 10.23-25) and counseled his followers to "protect yourself against every desire for having more" since "life does not lie in the abundance of things one owns" (Luke, 13.15). Opposed to all forms of hierarchy, not just economic inequality, this Jesus "rebuke[d] the followers who jockey[ed] for authority over each other and over others," saying that "everyone lifting himself up will be abased and anyone abasing himself will be lifted up" (Luke, 14.11). "There cannot be a clearer injunction of hierarchy of any kind," says Wills, adding that Jesus was "absolute in his opposition to violence" and remarkably indifferent to politics, saying "Caesar's matters leave to Caesar" (Mark, 12.17).
Following the gospels' radical message, which he knew quite well, King didn't want to end up like Obama, who tries to wrap his candidacy in the coats of Jesus and King but who has made repeated statements and votes in defense of concentrated wealth and capitalism, who has repeatedly funded and defended the occupation of Iraq and the bloody invasion of Afghanistan(1)and who routinely supports the murderous and yes, to quote Rev. Wright "state-terrorist" actions of the Israeli Olmert government against Arab people within and beyond Palestine. Building his life around "jockeying for authority" over fellow humans, Obama has further rejected the gospels he claims to hold dear by recently becoming a millionaire, thanks in part to his publication of a book whose title is stolen from a Jeremiah Wright sermon – "The Audacity of Hope." The book and the sermon are miles apart, morally and ideologically, reflecting Obama's deep rightward drift into the maddeningly mealy-mouthed centrism of pseudo-progressive corporate-imperial neoliberalism.
It is a great testament to the abject degradation of U.S. political culture that Jeremiah Wright is an officially designated monster for daring to speak in strident terms about U.S. crimes of empire and racism but Obama gets to maintain his absurd reputation as a serious opponent of the Iraq occupation when he cannot even commit to banning Blackwater Worldwide from Mesopotamia and when he says things like this: "It's time to stop spending billions of dollars a week trying to put Iraq back together and start spending the money putting America back together." (Obama speaking to General Motors workers in
Yes, by all means, let's stop sacrificing to "put
The closer we get to the general election, the more and more it is going to dawn on entranced Americans that Obama is just another capitalist politician. As the neoconservative New York Times columnist William Kristol – no common or natural ally of this essay's author – recently noted in the wake of the Wright revelations:
"Obama seems to have seen, early in his career, the utility of joining a prominent church that would help him establish political roots in the community in which he lives. Now he sees the utility of distancing himself from that church…."
"The more you learn about him, the more Obama seems to be a conventionally opportunistic politician, impressively smart and disciplined, who has put together a good political career and a terrific presidential campaign. But there's not much audacity of hope there. There's the calculation of ambition, and the construction of artifice, mixed in with a dash of deceit – all covered over with the great conceit that this campaign, and this candidate is different" (William Kristol, "Generation Obama? Perhaps Not," New York Times, 17 March, 2008, p. A23.).
Penned though it may be by any leftist's moral and ideological enemy – by a leading and enthusiastic advocate of the racist, arch-criminal, mass-murderous, and petro-imperialist Iraq occupation (launched with what Obama considers to be "the best of itentions")– Kristol's well-crafted judgment strikes me as all too perfectly accurate and on-point.

ALL BALL NERVE CENTER — While I was in Miami for Games 1 and 2 of the NBA Finals, on Friday night I joined a large group of assembled media who braved epic flooding outside to check out a screening of NBA TV's latest documentary, "The Doctor," about the life and career of Julius "Dr. J" Erving. I expected it to be good, but I had no idea that it would be great, which it was. So much so that last night, when it debuted on NBA TV, I sat at home and watched it a second time. If you missed the premiere of "The Doctor," don't worry, you can catch it again on NBA TV at these dates and times:

Select Route:
Perfect arete climbing on amazing Joe's sandstone. Start in the obvious pockets at the base of the arete and climb crimps, pockets, seams and the occasional friction slap/squeeze to hold on till the top. Top out is a bit cryptic; recommend taking a look at the top before blindly throwing for "jugs."
Take the climber's path (on the left) of the Hulk boulder uphill for about 20 yards; a small cliffband will come into view. Go through the obvious break in the band (take care not to dislodge or trundle rocks). Once on top, immediately go right. The Boulder will come into view after about 50 yards. Obvious arete.
A few pads and an attentive spotter.

Women's Basketball Earns Votes in Top 25 Polls
FORT MYERS, Fla. - The FGCU women's basketball team received six votes in this week's USA Today/ESPN Top 25 Coaches' Poll and also picked up one vote in the AP Top 25 Poll that was released on Tuesday, Jan. 4.
This marks the second time in program history that the Eagles have earned votes in both polls in the same week. It is also the fourth consecutive week that the Eagles have earned at least one vote in the USA Today/ESPN poll. FGCU earned four votes in last week's poll (Dec. 28).
The Blue and Green's one vote in the AP Poll is the fifth time the program has received votes in the national poll. FGCU received one vote in the 2009-10 AP Preseason Top 25 and also picked up a vote in back-to-back weeks in the AP Top 25 to close out the 2008-09 season.
In their last outing, the Eagles, led by five players in double figures and 13 three-pointers, remained unbeaten with a 79-39 win over A-Sun foe Belmont at Alico Arena on Jan. 3. Junior Nicoya Jackson (Houston, Texas/Cypress Springs HS/Southwestern Christian) finished with 17 points on 6-of-11 shooting from the floor and 3-of-7 from long distance. Senior Shannon Murphy (Brighton, Mich./Brighton HS) registered 12 points, a game-high six assists and four steals in just 26 minutes. Juniors Kelsey Jacobson (Barnesville, Minn./Moorhead HS) and reigning A-Sun Player of the Week Courtney Chihil (Tipp City, Ohio/ Alter HS) and freshman Sarah Hansen (Edinboro, Pa./General McLane HS) each chipped in with 11 points apiece.
The Eagles, who are now 60-7 all-time and 24-5 since moving to Division I in the month of January, knocked down 13-of-36 (36.1 percent) of their three-point attempts on the night, to top their nation leading 11.1 three-point field goals made per game average. The Eagles have drained double digit three-pointers eight times on the season and now have 113 triples as a team. Seven different players made at least one trey for the Blue and Green, led by Jackson's 3-of-7 night.
The Eagles (10-0 overall, 3-0 A-Sun) will put their 29-game home winning streak on the line on Wednesday, Jan. 5 at 5:15 p.m. when they play host to the Bisons of Lipscomb (6-6 overall, 3-0 A-Sun) in A-Sun action. FGCU is one of four undefeated teams remaining in the nation, joining the likes of No. 3 Duke (13-0), No. 6 West Virginia (14-0) and No. 8 UNC (13-0).

I can't believe that nobody has rated this place yet. Yes, it is removed, being all the way down in Chula Vista, but this is only 15 minutes from Cricket and right in downtown Chula Vista. People here on BA recomended it as a diner and beer stop before a Radiohead show down there and this was a great stop! There are really two places here. Facing 3rd street, you have the 50+ year old Italian resteraunt with a to go front and a few larger rooms as you walk down a side hall, that ends at the lounge. If you go out teh back door from the lounge, you go across a walk bridge to a much newer looking part of this location, which is a giant room with new, clean furniture and fixtures. Between the new building and the old lounge, there are completely different sets of taps, so you may be best served to walk into bith to check out the taps to see which set better fits your needs. We sat in the old lounge and shared a pizza. They have a few macros on tap, but the majority of the taps were dedicated to local craft brews. They also seem to have seevral specials that they run on different days on craft brews, as well. If you ever need to be in Chula Vista for anything or might be going to a show at Cricket, give yourself enough time to stop into La Bella's first!

La Bella's is a Chula Vista institution. It's a great little local Italian joint that's been around for ages. Within the last couple of years, management has changed and they started focusing more on good beer. When I first started going there, over a decade ago, they just had macros. Then one day I walked in after not going there for a couple of years, and to my surprise they suddenly had a great beer list. They had on tap at the time I went, beers from Stone, AleSmith, Ballast Point, etc. All the great S.D. breweries. And several others.
The food here has always been good. Home-made and reasonably priced. They have great meatball subs, and even better pizza.
The atmosphere is very casual, so you'll feel comfortable walking in here in jeans and a t-shirt, if you want.
Definitely a recommended stop for dinner, if you're in the area.

The parts inside a compressor might be too physically tight to move, or on systems with a TXV where the refrigerant pressures are higher on start-up, and need an extra "kick" of energy to get started. This hard-start capacitor provides that extra jolt of energy. Capacitor is very easy to install (takes about 1 minute) and will remain permanently in the equipment.
