Aaron Rodgers / QB / Green Bay Packers
Some suggested a bye in Week Eight might disrupt the defending champions' momentum, but Rodgers and the Packers kept rolling in a Week Nine win over the Chargers. Rodgers was as sharp as ever, completing 21-of-26 passes for 247 yards. He fired four touchdown passes to four different receivers, and Green Bay needed every one of them in its 45-38 victory. He was sacked four times but didn't fumble and also did not throw an interception. Rodgers, who leads the league in TD passes (24), showed his versatility, too, rushing for 52 yards on eight carries. "I think Aaron has a lot of strengths," Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said. "His decision making is clearly the highest level that I have personally been a part of." Halfway through the season, the Packers have yet to lose and Rodgers is the front-runner in the MVP race.
James Harrison / OLB / Pittsburgh Steelers
It wasn't enough to save Pittsburgh from falling to the division-rival Ravens for the second time this season, but Harrison made his presence felt, much to the dismay of QB Joe Flacco. With LBs James Farrior and LaMarr Woodley sidelined by injuries, Harrison returned after a four-game absence with a vengeance and had his first three-sack performance since the Steelers' win over the Ravens in the divisional round of last season's playoffs. A fractured orbital bone around his right eye kept Harrison out for a month, but he wasn't rusty, making eight tackles, hitting Flacco six times and forcing a fumble in Baltimore's win Sunday night. Despite the pounding provided by Harrison, Flacco endured and threw the game-winning touchdown pass to WR Torrey Smith with eight seconds left in the game.
Patrick Peterson / CB-PR / Arizona Cardinals
With the Cardinals and Rams tied at 13 in overtime, St. Louis brought out its punt team on 4th-and-7 and Donnie Jones booted a 54-yard punt that Peterson fielded at Arizona's 1-yard line. Then the rookie went to work. He found a seam to his right, broke a few arm tackles and pulled off a smooth spin move, running 99 yards for a game-winning touchdown to end the Cardinals' six-game losing streak. It was the second-longest punt return in NFL history and it's only the second time in NFL history that an overtime game ended with a punt-return touchdown. Peterson is the first player in NFL history with three punt-return touchdowns in the first eight games of his career. "He's a special young man," Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt said. "I'm glad that we have him on our football team — my new son."

VIENNA (AP) - An Austrian museum says a man took the concept of life imitating art to an extreme when he suddenly stripped at an exhibition of pictures and sculptures portraying nude men through the ages.
Vienna's Leopold Museum says that after taking his clothes off, the man calmly sauntered through the exhibition, dressing again only after a security guard asked him to do so.
Museum spokesman Klaus Pokorny said Tuesday that the museum had nothing to do with Saturday's strip, describing it as a "spontaneous act." He says other visitors did not appear disturbed.
He said that since its Oct. 19 opening, the "Nude Men" exhibition had attracted more than 65,000 visitors- all of them dressed except for one.

I can't believe how many times a week I reach for this handy tool and how I managed before I had it. I'm guessing I was a lot more content with uneven slices or just skipping recipes that called for too much slicing. I definitely didn't make chips of any kind for our family, because the slicing was way too tedious. I don't have that excuse any longer and my family has enjoyed homemade sweet potato chips (recipe below), zucchini chips, and my Potachos several times. Not to mention, salads just look beautiful and inviting with the perfectly sliced veggies tossed in.
I'm a huge fan of OXO and their products for the kitchen and home. Wait! Don't say it! I've already heard it, before. They're a little more expensive than other brands and I'm about saving money everywhere I can, so how do I justify the cost? Here's a frugal mom's secret that you need to consider. Sometimes, the cheapest isn't the best value! When my husband works, he needs tools that are durable, long-term. Tools that can do the job efficiently and effectively, every. single. time. without. fail. Tools that won't need to be replaced multiple times a year. If he spends $60 on a tool that lasts ten years, instead of $19.99 on one that ends up not being able to do the job or breaks and needs replaced multiple times in that same ten year span, the $60 tool was a much better value than the $19.99 one and saved our family time and money, in the long-run.
Cooking and caring for our family and home is what I do. The tools I use need to be of a quality that means they are a long-term good value, help me do my job efficiently and won't strand me in the middle of preparing a meal with a broken product I need to run out and replace. That's why I love OXO! The high quality of their products means I get TOP value for every dollar I spend and that's important to our family's long-term savings goals. So, given Brand Y and Brand X for noodles or toothbrushes or green beans, you bet — I'll pick the cheapest one every time, but when it comes to tools, I want the highest quality, best value my dollar can buy, even if it means saving up for a little while. I can count on that kind of value every time with OXO tools. This fantastic, handheld mandoline was no exception! You're going to LOVE it!
What are some of my favorite features of this handy-dandy kitchen tool?
- My slicing work is finished in a fraction of the time.
- The blade height can be adjusted for slices in 3 thicknesses.
- The mandoline is clear, so I can see through it to my slices, below.
- I can use it to slice over my cutting board or a plate; or I can use the lip at the end to hook it over the edge of a bowl.
- The food holder protects hands, is comfortable to use and is easy to grip. It also serves as a blade cover when the mandoline is stored.
- I can set the blade height to LOCKED 9indicated by a little padlock), meaning it is flush with the surface of the mandoline and much less likely to allow someone to cut themselves while it is not in use. That, coupled with the fact that the food holder also acts as a blade cover, makes it one of the safest mandolines I've ever used.
- It's strong. I have another mandoline, of a different brand, that was MUCH more expensive and the blade heights do not stay in place well, causing a lot of difficulty and wasted time in trying to get things cut. I'm really impressed with how solid this little mandoline is and very excited that the slice thickness I select, is the one that I get, until I move the blade.
- The nice, rubberized non-slip handle, knob and foot make this an easy to grip and comfortable to use tool.
- It's completely dishwasher safe.
- 1 sweet potato
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- salt, to taste
- Slice the sweet potato into very thin pieces. The thinner you slice them the crisper your chips will be.
- Drizzle the potato slices with olive oil and toss to coat. (As you can see, I had to switch to a larger bowl to manage this task.)
- Spread the potato pieces in a single layer on your baking sheet. (if you have a Silpat or some parchment paper, your clean-up will be super easy.) One sweet potato actually made so many chips that I had to use a baking sheet and my stoneware pizza stone and I still had potato slices left over, that wouldn't fit.
- Salt chips, to taste, before baking. This will help pull moisture out of the chips, more quickly.
- Bake in a 250 degree oven for 25-30 minutes, until crisp and edges are lightly browned. (The low heat is very important! The sugars in a sweet potato will burn before the chip is crisp, if you cook them at higher heat. So cook them low and slow. Your patience will pay off big time. I promise.)
- Remove from oven. Slide right off the baking sheet, into a serving bowl. Enjoy the chips warm or allow them to cool and serve them cold. Their delicious both ways!

Paulines better prepared for step up in class
4:00pm Friday 4th May 2012 in Other Rugby By Stuart Amos
Old Paulines club captain Matthew Preece reckoned the club was prepared for life in London Division Three South West after winning promotion on Saturday.
The Thames Ditton-based club won 29-11 at Hampshire Division One runners-up Fordingbridge in the county league play-offs at the weekend to earn a return to the London leagues.
The Old Boys last won promotion in 2009, but were relegated to Surrey Division One in 2010 with only four league wins to their name.
But Preece reckoned the current crop of players are more then capable of holding their own this time around.
"The last time we were in the league above we used more than 70 players in the first team," he said.
"This time, there has been better commitment and a greater sense of unity throughout the team.
"When you think we had to win our last six games last season to avoid relegation to Division Two, that makes this a magnificent achievement.
"The club is ecstatic."
Old Paulines needed a losing bonus point against champions London Exiles on the season's final day to pip neighbours Old Tiffinians to the play-off spot.

DA says his office should not have dismissed case against Menlo Park cop
Original post made on Jan 29, 2013
Read the full story here Web Link posted Tuesday, January 29, 2013, 10:09 AM
on Jan 29, 2013 at 11:14 am
> The city refused to answer, saying that no such record exists.
> "This request for statistics would require the City to
> physically review individual records/personnel files
> and create documents that do not exist
Given the outlandish salaries that City Officials (Department Heads and above), it makes one wonder what these people are doing for these salaries.
It's hard to believe that all Menlo Park's employee records are not on a computer. Were that the case, then it would take little more than the following "question" for the computer to provide an answer to the Almanac's question about fired police officers:
"List all employees where termination-code=fired and dept-code=police"
(Note, the query above would need to be translated into the specifics for the Menlo Park computer system.)
The idea that Menlo Park claims to not have the capability to provide this information is quite eye-opening. It also demonstrates a growing problem with the California Public Records Act, which never envisioned all public records being on-line and fully indexed. Menlo Park should not be able to hide behind some arcane laws that are no longer relevant.
Modern information management systems allow the user to ask questions of the City's records that might not have been asked in the past. Claiming that it never kept track of terminated police officers, or employees (for that matter) should make people living in Menlo Park pretty angryand their Council should be asked some very hard questions.
As for DA Rosen
> Rosen agreed that the investigating officer's testimony was
> essential, but challenged the decision to immediately drop
> the case.
What does this mean? Is he the "boss", or not?
The article says that he has added a layer of review for cases involving law enforcement officers. Ok, but we are left wondering why this sort of policy has not in place in the past.
As for the DAs in San Mateo and Santa Clara County not being able to provide information about law enforcement officers who have been prosecuted, the same general comments apply to them that apply to Menlo Park. These guys are getting paid big bucks. They are supposed to be managers, not just the "top dog" on the County's totem pole of political power. There is no reason that these guys should not have a computer system in place that allows them to know the status of any/all cases, including past cases involving law enforcement officers.
These DAs don't seem to report to anyone by the voters. If we don't confront them more effectively in future elections, its hard to believe much will change in the next fifty years.
on Jan 29, 2013 at 1:57 pm
Somewhere in the Menlo Park Police Department building, there is a desk with book in one of the drawers. That book has all the information about current and former officer's criminal charges and prosecutions.
Find the book and all will be answered.
on Jan 29, 2013 at 2:43 pm
I think we all agree with the statement that the naked cop should not have been let go. He committed a crime while on duty.

Aditya Santosh Raut Continues To Break Barriers
The prolific marathon swimmer, born in 1993, started off in 2002 on a 70 km swim in the Indian Ocean when he completed a two-way crossing of Dharamatar Channel from Mumbai's Gate Way of India to Dharamtar and back. The 9-year-old, escorted by his coach Vinay Marathe and father Santosh Raut, took 21 hours 28 minutes to complete his first marathon swim. While there have been many other young swimmers in India who have swum marathon swimmers, Aditya is different as his career has continued and his goals have gotten progressively difficult.
With a goal to become the first swimmer from India to represent his country in the Olympics at the 10K marathon swim, Aditya has been preparing for the 2016 and 2020 Olympics by completing numerous marathon swims around the world in addition to building speed in his pool events.
At the age of 10 in 2004, Aditya completed a Robben Island swim from Three Anchor Bay to Robben Island and Blouberg, a distance of 18 km that he completed in 6 hours 42 minutes. He attempted to swim 10 km from Simanstowm to Muizenberg which he succeeded, but a second swim had to be called off due to sharks.
At the age of 11 in 2005, Aditya completed a Cook Strait crossing from the North Island to the South Island in New Zealand and the Toroneos Gulf in Greece. At 12, he completed a Catalina Channel crossing in 11 hours 55 minutes in 2006 and completed 7 swims in 7 days at the Tethys Challenge Formula 7777 event. At 13, he competed in the 26 km International Self-Transcendence Marathon Swim from Rapperswil to Zurich and 15 days later completed a Strait of Gibraltar crossing in 3 hours 28 minutes.
In 2009 at the age of 16, Aditya crossed the English Channel in 14 hours 55 minutes and then set his sights on the FINA World Championships and Olympic 10K Marathon Swim. After training all his live in Pune, Aditya is currently training in Bangalore, India where he concentrates on his education of Business Management.
His current aim to reach the FINA standard of 15:59.33 in the 1500m freestyle to represent India and ultimately to participate in the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro or the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.
His father Santosh has been on nearly all of this swims. "[When Aditya was young], I wasn't nervous for his safety because I was always on his swims with coach Vinay Marathe. We were always with him," recalls Santosh.
"We studied every swim and safety was our top priority. [As a father], Aditya's safety is much more important than his swim. But he does not have the advantage of getting in cold water swims for practice. Hence, we needed to go earlier to every swim in order to get acclimated to the weather and water temperatures.
Aditya, on his first cold water swim in Cape Town, South Africa was seared due to cold water. This was the very first time he entered the cold water. In that situation, I personally entered the water with him. This gave him confidence and some tips on how to swim in the cold water. My entry in the cold water with him on that day boosted his confidence. But he has faced cold water down to 10ºC (50ºF)."
The young man from Bangalore has grown and developed in ways that few humans have experienced. With his trajectory in the sport and his focus on increased speed, he may very well be India's first representative to qualify for the Olympic 10K Marathon Swim at the 2015 Rio Olympic Games or the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.

2014 Global Open Water Swimming Conference
Courtesy of WOWSA, Huntington Beach, California.
The Global Open Water Swimming Conference is a conference on the sport of open water swimming, marathon swimming and swimming during triathlons and multi-sport endurance events.
The conference which has been attended by enthusiasts and luminaries from 6 continents, is devoted to providing information about the latest trends, race tactics, training techniques, equipment, psychological preparation, race organization and safety practices used in the sports of open water swimming, marathon swimming and triathlons.
The conference's mission is to provide opportunities to listen and meet many of the world's most foremost experts in open water swimming, and to meet and discuss the sport among swimmers, coaches, administrators, event organizers, sponsors, vendors, officials, escort pilots, and volunteers from kayakers to safety personnel.
Dozens of presentations at the 2014 Conference at the Mount Stuart House cover numerous aspects of the vast and growing world of open water swimming where attendees can learn and share the latest trends, race tactics, training modalities, swimming techniques, equipment, race organization, logistics, operations, and safety practices for open water swimming as a solo swimmer, competitive athlete, fitness swimmer, masters swimmer, triathlete, multi-sport athlete, administrator, race promoter, sponsor or referee.
The conference was first held in Long Beach, California as part of the 2010 USA Swimming National Open Water Swimming Championships. It has since been held on the Queen Mary in California, at Columbia University and the United Nations in New York City, and in Cork, Ireland. This year in September, it comes to another iconic location, the Mount Stuart House on the Isle of Bute in Scotland.
"The Global Open Water Swimming Conference was started due to the desire and need for athletes, coaches, referees, administrators, race directors, promoters and sponsors from around the world to share, collect and learn information about the growing sports of open water swimming, marathon swimming and triathlons," said founder Steven Munatones. "Other swimming conferences usually offering nothing on open water swimming or perhaps a speech or two, but we thought open water swimming deserves its own global conference. It is great that the community shares its information via the online social network, but there is nothing like meeting other open water swimming enthusiasts face-to-face and talking about the sport from morning to night."
Speakers at the conference include English Channel swimmers, ice swimmers, record holders, renowned coaches, world champions, professional marathon swimmers, renowned race directors, officials and administrators from the Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe and Oceania.
"Because the audience is passionate and educated about the sport and its finest practitioners, the Global Open Water Swimming Conference is also the location of the induction ceremonies for the International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame and the annual WOWSA Awards that recognize the World Open Water Swimming Man of the Year, the World Open Water Swimming Woman of the Year, the World Open Water Swimming Performance of the Year, and the World Open Water Swimming Offering of the Year. Special Lifetime Achievement Awards are also occasionally presented to individuals who have made significant contributions to the sport over their career."

Her past and present collide in her obsession with a feat that nobody has ever accomplished.

Timothy Wheeler's documentary brings Diana Nyad's extraordinary adventure to life as Diana sets out to prove that will and determination are all you need to make the unimaginable possible.
2014 Open Water Swimming Almanac
An Almanac for Open Water SwimmingAn almanac is essentially a body of knowledge which is so complete that it enables people in different fields to make predictions about the future of their respective industries.
This, for example, was the purpose of the traditional farmers almanacs. It enabled farmers to determine as accurately as possible which crops to plant for the greatest harvests in a given year.
But the farmers almanac was just one example among many.
There are, of course, many different kinds of almanacs.
In fact, there is even one for open water swimming...

The trends are very clear.
The tide is rising for open water swimming.

Snow gear sales steady ahead of Monday's storm
Updated On: Oct 27 2013 07:47:14 PM MDT
Bozeman saw sunny skies Sunday afternoon, but conditions are changing quickly. NBC Montana checked in with a local ACE Hardware in Bozeman to see how snow gear sales are going.
We came across Mitch Reinertson. He currently lives in Big Timber and has called Montana home for 25 years. Sunday afternoon he was at ACE Hardware on West Main Street to purchase an additional snow shovel.
"We didn't need a steel one just a plastic one to clear the decks around our house," said Reinertson.
We also spoke to Rick Forester. He works at ACE Hardware and says judging by the slow snow shovel sales, Reinertson appears to be one of the few people who is preparing ahead of time.
"If this were going to happen in the middle of January, I think people would think ahead a little bit more, it is just too pretty of a day," said Forester.
Forester showed us around the store, shelves stacked with winter gear. He says when it comes to snow this time of year, most people don't really believe it until they see it.
"People will go and find out there snow shovel is broken, or misplaced it then they will come in and get new snow shovels," said Forester.
At the American Red Cross office in Bozeman we also met with communications director Anna Fernandez-Gevaert.
"You know, we will be out there as soon as we possibly can, but in a larger event we can't get to everybody right away. That is why we recommend people prepare and take responsibility for themselves," said Fernandez-Gevaert.
She showed is a Emergency Preparedness Kit and tells us some of the things in it are things you can gather at home, such as water and a flashlight. Before the snow falls she has one last reminder about the snow. A reminder she hopes will help people look ahead.
"It is always beautiful, but it is deceptively beautiful sometimes," said Fernandez-Gevaert.

Man, talk about whiffing on a hanging curveball.
Thats what Gov. Pat McCrory did last week.
Drew Swope, the cook canned for confronting the governor while McCrory was shopping at Reids Fine Foods in Charlotte, shouldve been fired for disrespecting any shopper, not just a governor.
McCrory, though, was not just any shopper, and he should have begged store owner Tom Coker to sheathe the pink slip and allow Swope to keep his job at Reids.
McCrory: Halt! Fire not that man, kind sir. With the current state of the Obama economy, tis not right to cast a working man out on his keister. In a few decades, when my policies finally kick in, jobs will be plentiful; but for now, allow him to remain in your employ. Besides, I am always glad to get feedback from my constituents.
Good photo op
See how that works? The governor gets in a dig at President Barack Obama and what Republican can pass up that opportunity? he gets to tout his own policies, and he comes across as magnanimous and gracious all at the same time.
Next to emerging from a burning building, face and suit covered in soot and holding a litter of day-old kittens, McCrory couldnt have asked for a better photo op than one of him sitting down and chatting with an unimpressed resident.
When Swope said, Thanks for nothing, and in his telling walked away, McCrory should have pounced on the political opportunity he was handed like a lion on a lame, well-seasoned lamb.
Swope: Thanks for nothing.
McCrory: Why, youre welcome, young man. I hey, wait a minute. I see what you did there. Youre being facetious, arent you? Ha ha. I always knew N.C. voters were among the wittiest in the nation.
Come, let us sup together, and you can tell me what it is that has you disaffected with my administration.
Over a couple of Reids New York strips and a bottle of Ferrari Brut from Italy a sparkling wine that Reids website declares, screams celebration McCrory and Swope could have had a civil discussion. McCrory would have had a chance to learn what the average Swope thinks. Swope, for his part, could have seen that the governor isnt such a bad egg, after all.
With flashbulbs popping in the background, of course.
Failed to capitalize
Man, image-makers have been known to choreograph events like that, yet here our governor was handed one legitimately and he failed to capitalize on it.
I asked Mike Gauss, accounts director for the Raleigh public relations and marketing agency Articulon, how he wouldve advised a client to handle the Reids situation.
In a situation like that, he said, its absolutely important to remember that youre not just representing yourself, even if youre just trying to get lunch. You are actually representing the organization youre with in the case of the governor, thats the full state of North Carolina. In that vein, the first thing you need to do is remain calm and understand that you arent to take things personally.
Swope said the governor swore at him; McCrorys people said he didnt.
Gauss continued, One thing is to inquire why the person feels and thinks what they feel and think, and engage in conversation. We always recommend to our clients that you engage in conversation and, when possible, do it in a public format to show that youre listening and caring. Thats one of the greatest things you can do to show the world you care.
Instead of the governor showing that he cares, though, many readers from whom I heard felt he came off as thin-skinned and petty.
Typical of the responses I received was this one from a reader named Ronny, a service industry veteran who wrote, Sounds to me like Swope took an opportunity many of us would jump at, and did his little act of outrage with a minimum of drama. McCrory could have and should have just shrugged it off.
McCrorys people insist it was they, not he, who complained to Coker, but that didnt stop some of the blame residue from getting on the governors sneakers.
On the rare occasions that someone disagrees with me in an unkind manner and by rare, I mean 37 times a day I generally try to see their perspective and determine how we can become of one accord.
For instance, after I wrote last week that the rude cook shouldve been fired, one of my biggest fans wrote Rude? Youre talking about rude? You racist piece of @$.
Had I responded in kind, in anger, that would have only escalated the ill will emanating from him, and isnt there enough of that in the world already?
Thats why, recalling the biblical entreaty that a kind answer turneth away wrath, I inquired about his mother.
I ask you, who can get angry at you when you inquire about his or her mother or ask their boss not to fire them?

Foo Fighters/Weezer Concert Review
Your buddy Shock here and NeumDog went to the X on Sunday night (Oct. 2nd) for the Foo Fighters/Weezer concert. I must say I had a great time! The show was fabulous - Weezer really seemed to be having a good time playing in front of the estimated-14,000-person crowd. We had great seats - Club Level (2nd level), directly facing the stage head-on.
The Kaiser Chiefs started out the night, then Weezer came on about 8:00. They played some new stuff, some old (The Sweater Song, Undone), and generally rocked the place with a good show. The Foo came on at about 10:15, playing until 11:45. They started right out with a great song off their new album "In Your Honor", the title track as a matter of fact. They had some smokin' visuals going on onstage (huge screen behind them, laser light show, etc.), and of course, they were loud. Very Loud. Which was great! They played some other songs off the new album ("DOA", "The Best Of You", "Hell"), several from One By One ("Times Like These", a rockin' version of "All My Life", "Have It All"), some from There Is Nothing Left To Lose ("Breakout", "Learn To Fly", and a great version of a not-nearly-played-enough-on-the-radio "Stacked Actors"). From The Colour And The Shape they played "Everlong" and "My Hero". And, from their first album, Foo Fighters, they rocked with "Big Me" and "This Is A Call".
They saved their best for last, however: for their final encore they played my personal favorite "Monkey Wrench" from The Colour And The Shape!!!
Dave Grohl was really in a pretty good mood all night. He talked a lot to the crowd, even dedicating one song to Minnesota and Cannon Falls, where his former band Nirvana recorded their huge release "In Utero".
And speaking of dedicating a song to Minnesota, Weezer dedicated one of theirs to the former Minnesota North Stars...
All in all, a GREAT concert!!! I saw the Foo a couple years ago at Roy Wilkins Auditorium, and this one was LIGHT-YEARS better!!! What can I say? I love the Foo Fighters!PPO Ambassador, Defender of the Purple Faith and Guardian of the Gates of Valhalla

Yup. Too bad we didn't have main floor tix. I'd be smashing around in the mosh pit, and doing a little crowd surfing! :headbang: :lol:

Kate Upton and Lily Aldridge Make A Great Pair
Because I always love to be reminded that hot supermodels actually hang out together in real-life and not just in my overactive imagination, here's Kate Upton and Lily Aldridge walking around in New York together. Unfortunately though, they're not wearing bikinis, or lingerie, or wrestling one another in a kiddie pool filled with Jello. Hmm, maybe you're right, my imagination is way better.

Attendees glance at a photograph of the late Robert "First in Line" Tetreault, as members of the St. Vincent de Paul Place in Norwich community hold a memorial service Tuesday for Tetreault, a veteran, who died last week after turning 70 on Christmas. About 40 people attended the ceremony, led by Deacon Peter Gill of Middlefield, who is also a part-time chef at the facility. Tetreault was a homeless man who preferred to live outside. Recently he was provided with an apartment, but died a month later.

Sounds Like Sestak Will Primary Specter
by Josh Orton, Wed May 27, 2009 at 12:33:39 PM EDT
Inching closer (via TPM):
Rep. Joe Sestak (D-PA) is privately telling supporters that he intends to run for Senate, TPMDC has confirmed.
"He intends to get in the race," says Meg Infantino, the Congressman's sister, who works at Sestak for Congress. "In the not too distant future, he will sit down with his wife and daughter to make the final decision."
Earlier today, a Sestak volunteer and contributor received a handwritten note from Sestak himself, announcing his intent to run and asking for a contribution.
Two sides to this. On the one hand, I don't want Sestak to run and fail hard without support - SEIU backed WAY off and Arlen's enjoying the President's fundraising machine. On the other hand, Specter's a pretty weak Democrat - his party change was all politics. Plus, primaries are healthy and Pennsylvania Democrats are less than thrilled with him. If Sestak runs a decent race with the goal of nudging Specter left, it could be a good thing.

A man was ordered held without bond for allegedly kicking in a bedroom door and gunning down his ex-fiance's 46-year-old mother during a break-up fight last month at the women's New City area home.
On Wednesday, Frank Smith was held without bond for the Feb. 28 shooting that left Theresa Spearman dead and her daughter wounded, Homicide Watch Chicago is reporting.
Assistant State's Attorney Jamie Santini said Smith's 24-year-old fiance ended their engagement and returned the ring, leading to a fight at the woman's home in the 5400 block of South Laflin Street.
Smith allegedly threatened his now ex-fiance, threw objects around the home then hit her in the face, Santini said. Spearman and another daughter attempted to intervene.
Smith responded by hitting Spearman over the head with a gun and punching the other daughter in the face, Santini said. Spearman retaliated by allegedly breaking a bottle over Smith's head.
Smith opened fire on the family — shooting Spearman in the back and wounding his ex-fiance, Santini said. After being shot, Spearman barricaded herself in a bedroom with her wounded daughter.
An enraged Smith kicked in the bedroom door and opened fire again, Santini said. Smith allegedly shot his ex-fiancé in the back, head and foot then fatally shot Spearman in the chest.
Spearman was taken to John H Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County, where she was pronounced dead, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office. The ex-fiancé was also taken to Stroger Hospital, where she was treated for gunshot wounds, Santini said.
Smith fled with the gun and called his ex-fiancé from Indianapolis to threaten to kill the rest of her family, Santini said. Indianapolis authorities arrested Smith and he was extradited to Chicago, where he was identified in a physical lineup.
Smith, of the 5100 block of South Loomis Boulevard, was charged with first-degree murder and attempted murder for a February shooting in the New City community, police said.
Police are investigating the murder of a homeless man who was beaten to death in an alley in Logan Square.

Boston Celtics head coach Doc Rivers reportedly met with free agent Courtney Lee in Orlando on Saturday, according to Sam Amick of SI.com. The Houston Rockets are reportedly interested in a sign-and-trade that would send the guard to Boston.
Source confirms Boston coach Doc Rivers met with free agent shooting guard Courtney Lee on Saturday and that Houston - his former team - is interested in a possible sign-and-trade to send Lee to the Cs. The meeting was in Orlando, where Lee trains and where Rivers lives in the offseason, so it was a convenient connection. In addition to the suitors @ESPNSteinLine listed in his report on the meeting (Minnesota, Atlanta, Indiana, Dallas and Phoenix), source says Washington is in the mix. Chicago is also interested but a necessary sign-and-trade with the Bulls seems unlikely.
The Celtics are still reeling from the loss of Ray Allen to the Miami Heat. Lee would help fill the void. He averaged 11.4 points per game last season and shot 40.1 percent from beyond the 3-point arc. Boston doesn't have enough room under their salary cap to sign Lee outright, but a sign-and-trade would allow them to finagle the move.
The Minnesota Timberwolves, Atlanta Hawks, Indiana Pacers, Dallas Mavericks, Phoenix Suns, Washington Wizards and Chicago Bulls have also been mentioned in connection with the 26-year-old shooting guard.

Actors' Equity Association and the League of American Theatres and Producers have set absolute limits on the amount of smoke that can be used safely on stages. The move was spurred by a report commissioned by the two groups, which concluded that actors are at risk when exposed to "elevated or peak levels of glycol smoke and mineral oil."
However, it also noted that if exposure levels are kept below the limits established in the study, actors should "not suffer adverse impacts to their health or their vocal abilities." The study, which took three years to complete, was jointly prepared by the Mt. Sinai School of Medicine and the ENVIRON International Corporation. It included the participation of 439 actors performing in 16 Broadway musicals during the 1997-1998 seasons. In four of those productions, Jekyll & Hyde, Les Miserables, Miss Saigon and Phantom of the Opera, the potential peak concentration of smoke exceeded the recommended levels. Of those shows, only Les Miserables and Phantom are still running.
According to Ken Greenwood, Equity's senior business representative, "Those productions will now have to assess whether actors are subjected to peak exposure levels and whether the exposures can be reduced through changes in the blocking or choreography. If such changes cannot be made, an adjustment in the amount of smoke discharged will be necessary. We will also review exposure levels in any new production to make sure they are in compliance with the guidelines."
The study recommends the following guidance levels with respect to glycols and mineral oil: The use of glycols should be such that an Actors' exposure does not exceed 40 milligrams per cubic meter (mg/m3); mineral oil should be used in such a manner that an Actors' exposure does not exceed a peak concentration of 25 mg/m3; for chronic exposures to mineral oil, the existing standards established for oil mists (5 mg/m3 as an eight-hour time-weighted average) should also be protective for actors in theatrical productions.
The full report can now be seen on the Equity website. The documents include an executive summary (8 pages), equipment-based guidelines (50 pages), guidance presentation (18 pages), and study presentation (17 pages).
Manufacturers of smoke and fog products, are for the most part, in favor of the ruling. "It's very good," Le Maitre's Adrian Segeren told Entertainment Design. "It's finally going to level the playing field. In the past there are a few companies who have had a leg up on things, and now this balances out a little more. So I'm pretty pleased."
In a press release, Stan Miller, president of Rosco, says, "We are please to see that the study performed by the Mt. Sinai School of Medicine completely vindicates both Rosco's studies and those of the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health. The first conclusion in the Equity report is "no evidence of serious health effects was found to be associated with exposure to any of the theatrical effects evaluated in this study.'
"We felt all along that Rosco had a special responsibility with regard to theatrical smoke since we have been the prime supplier since we introduced these fluids in 1979," he continues. "This study…clearly established that theatrical smoke and haze, when properly used, remains a useful and viable stage technique, on Broadway and everywhere else."
Karl Ruling, technical standards manager for ESTA, says the ruling benefits both the industry and the actors. "They are low enough that performers can be assured that they will not have any ill effects from performing in fog," he explains. "The levels are also high enough that good fog effects are possible. Therefore, this is a good thing all around. The performers are protected and assured, the designers get the effects they want, and the audience gets a good show."

How to recover registrar login info?
I have a client that had multiple people manage his website and he doesn't know who his registrar is nor how to login and edit his info. I need to get in there to point his domain to the new host I'm setting him up with tonight. I did a whois search and it looks like his registrar is srsplus.com which is a company he's never heard of. Looking at their site it looks like they set other companies up to be a registrar themselves...so the question is how in heck does my client figure out who that other site is and how to get into his account again?
If it helps, his domain is gymnasticsbeat.com. I'm not sure what to do at this point. I did give him the contact page link for srsplus.com but I'm not sure they will be much help.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The whois should have told you the owner's name which would give you either your client OR a previous supporting company. If your client, have him/her e-mail the registrar. If another company, have him/her e-mail them for the login credentials OR the UDAI (code to transfer to your registrar).
Yes, it's as easy as that.

The thing is when you purchase domain name from any company who is not the registrar then the who is info would show of that company.
It happens when you are using hosting service from any small company and they provide domain name too but they are not the real registrar, the real registrar may be, Godaddy, Name.com, enom etc..
In this case, where you have purchased the domain name, you can get access to edit name server from the cpanel of that company as you are provided login info at the purchase of domain name.

Dempster official, Napoli not
The Red Sox officially announced the signing of starting pitcher Ryan Dempster on Wednesday.
The 36 year old right handed pitcher looks to give Red Sox innings in the middle of the rotation.
But Dempster's signing once again brought to the forefront the fact that Mike Napoli has still not officially signed with the team. Napoli reportedly came to an agreement with Boston on December 2, and two and a half weeks later the deal hasn't been finalized making some wonder if he will ever show up in the Red Sox lineup this season.
It also makes some wary of a pre-existing injury that surfaced during his physical with the team.
Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington would not comment on the Napoli situation at Dempster's official introduction.
Dysfunctional Jets
The Jets have brought new meaning to the word dysfunctional this season, so much so that their quarterback controversy is stealing headlines despite the fact that at 6-8, the Jets have no shot at making the playoffs.
Jets coach Rex Ryan named Greg McElroy the starter for Sunday's game against the Chargers skipping over backup quarterback Tim Tebow. Since the decision Tebow has reportedly asked to be traded this off season, which the Jets will surely do. The Jets have also discussed the possibility of trading former starter Mark Sanchez, but the Jets have so much money tied up in Sanchez, and he has played so poorly that no team in their right minds would take a chance on him.
Tebow is also a bad fit with the Jets, who apparently picked him up for headlines instead of results.
Who knows where the Jets will stand next season as ownership is expected to purge the front office and coaching staff so a new group can start over.
Russell vs. Rondo
Never would have guessed that Bill Russell (4,100) had more assists with the Celtics than Paul Pierce (4,009), Rajon Rondo (3,767), JoJo White (3,686) and Dennis Johnson (3,486).

From Jon Morosi, who knows the Tigers well:
Tigers do have interest in Carlos Beltran, source confirms, but team's current focus is trading for a starting pitcher.
Every team with a hole in the outfield should have interest in Beltran, who very quietly has been one of the National League's five best outfielders this season. And like a lot of American League clubs, the Tigers have gotten very little production from their left fielders this season.*
* The American League's best left fielder in 2011? Kansas City's Alex Gordon, who should have been an All-Star. Most teams haven't even had a regular left fielder at all.
That said, the Tigers do have a number of players who can play left field, sort of. And Jim Leyland's probably got a better chance of cobbling together an effective squad of left fielders from the material at hand, than of finding a good starting pitcher to complement Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer. If the Tigers can't acquire a good starter, they might well "settle" for an outfielder. But that probably shouldn't be their first priority.

At CWI's inception in 2007, Boise was the last metropolitan area in the country lacking a community college. In March of that year, the Idaho Legislature appropriated funds for the college.

With the monetary support of the Albertson Foundation and the appointment by the Idaho State Board of Education of CWI's first Board of Trustees, the College of Western Idaho was launched.

Dell Sas6/iR Integrated Firmware Release; Package Version: 00.25.47.00.06.22.03.00
Level of Importance:Recommended
Dell recommends applying this update during your next scheduled update cycle. The update contains feature enhancements or changes that will help keep your system software current and compatible with other system modules (firmware, BIOS, drivers and software).
Important Information
- When viewing SATA physical disk properties from Ctrl-C or other management applications, Vendor Identification must be translated as "ATA" followed by blanks. Please see SATA translation specification, revision 5, pages 24-25 for more details. - When multiple logical disks are configured on the SAS 6/iR and when viewing the logical disks from RAID Properties of the Ctrl-C BIOS utility, the order in which the logical disks are displayed may be reversed from the order in which they are created. This has no effect on the adapter functionality or boot order of the logical disks. - When adding a SAS 6/iR controller to a system, either by physically adding an adapter or by enabling the integrated SAS controller in the system BIOS, the new controller may need to be added to the controller boot order in the SAS 6/iR BIOS configuration Utility. At POST, hit CTRL-C to enter the utility and verify or modify the controller boot order. - Migration of RAID Volumes from SAS 6/iR controllers to PERC6 controllers is supported only for volumes originally created on SAS 6/iR controllers running FW revision 00.25.47.00 or later. - This version of firmware will not ensure complete compatibility with an older version of the management application. OpenManage 5.5 or greater is recommended. - It is recommended that the customer upgrade the management application and device driver to the latest version available from Dell at the time of installation of this firmware. - Before updating the SAS controller firmware using the DUP package in a Linux system, it is necessary to upgrade the SAS controller driver. Executing the SAS controller firmware DUP update while running a native Linux driver may cause the system/data volumes on the SAS controller to become inaccessible or Read-Only. The recommended steps to update the SAS controller using the firmware DUP package on a Linux system to this new software level are as follows: 1.Upgrade the driver 2.Reboot the system 3.Upgrade the firmware 4.Reboot the system The problem does not occur if the SAS controller FW is updated from a bootable device (non Linux environment).

Applies to
- Dell Device
- SAS 6/iR Integrated
Fixes & Enhancements
BIOS - 06.22.03.00 NEW FUNCTIONALITY: None. DEFECT FIXES: -Implements a change to allow some RAID1 volumes created with earlier SAS 6/iR FW revisions to be migrated to controllers with this FW revision. - Implements a change to order the controller list based on defined controller type instead of static chip-based references - Updates verify functionality to allow user to escape once Reassign All has been selected and drive is no longer responding. - Removes rescan for devices on any keystroke in view array screen. Rescan will now only be performed on Alt+N keystroke. FIRMWARE - 00.25.47.00 NEW FUNCTIONALITY: - Modifies coercion of RAID volumes to align with PERC. This facilitates migration of SAS6 RAID volumes to PERC6. DEFECT FIXES: -Implements a change to allow some RAID1 volumes created with earlier SAS 6/iR FW Revisions to be migrated controllers with this FW revision or later. -Improves robustness in handling Task Management events during heavy IO -Implements a change to correct an issue with initialization of interposer attached SATA drives where link to the drive could be left in a state where it was possible that I/Os could be timed out and have to be retried by the host.

One day, after searching for floating debris and weed lines without success, I decided to create my own flotsam to attract dolphin. I cut a 2- by 2-foot piece of 3/4-inch CDX plywood and painted the top side of the board with high-visibility paint so I could see it from a distance. I drilled holes in all four corners and through the center. Then, I threaded 18- to 24-inch lengths of 100-pound mono through the holes.
To bait each hookless leader, poke a hole in the top of a strip bait and thread the mono through the hole. Knot or crimp the mono above the strip, or attach a barrel swivel to the leader and twist on a short piece of single-strand wire. Stick the wire through the bait. Then, bend and wrap the tag end around the wire. Drop the board in the water; it will drift in the same general direction as your boat. Keep an eye on the board, and watch for dolphin attracted to the bait and cover. Approach carefully and cast to the fish.
