ARCADIA, Calif. (Dec. 17, 2010)—In advance of its traditional winter/spring opener on Dec. 26, Santa Anita Park has launched a significant social media effort that includes YouTube Flip Cam interviews, Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, LinkedIn, Tycoon Mobile, daily Santa Anita blogs, email blasts, online contests and conventional press releases that include photos.
"We're very excited to have the capability to take advantage of these new social media platforms," said Santa Anita Vice President of Marketing, Allen Gutterman. "There's no doubt this is the wave of the future and we've already seen a significant spike in the number of hits our website (www.santaanita.com) is getting.
"Social media provides limitless opportunities for us to reach out to a younger, more wide-ranging demographic and to reach people who perhaps haven't been to the races in a long time. We've had a very positive response to what we're doing with Twitter and the Flip Cam interviews we're using on our website and we're confident these areas will continue to grow as our meet unfolds. All of these various platforms enable us to better tell our story without having to depend on outside media."
Beginning Dec. 26, Santa Anita will offer live racing updates (changes, results, payouts, etc), photos, press releases and links to interviews via Facebook and Twitter.
"The benefits of all of this are self-evident," said Gutterman. "Obviously, this is the kind of information our core fans crave and it's also the kind of information that new and casual fans like to have. It puts everyone 'in the game,' so to speak, and we believe it will help us to rejuvenate and grow the sport's overall base of support."
For more information about opening day and Santa Anita's social media efforts, fans are encouraged to visit www.santaanita.com, or to call (626) 574-RACE.

If a picture says 1000 words, multiply this by another 1000. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira is an extremely important part of Team Nogueira in Brazil. His team had seven fighters competing at UFC 153 in Rio last weekend (Oct. 13, 2012) and all of them as well as the coaches were jubilant and highly emotional following "Big Nog's" second round armbar submission victory over Dave Herman. Watching Anderson Silva break down just goes to show how important Nogueira is to him. What do you think about this little peek inside the world of the Brazilians, Maniacs?
Despite having his arm broken in two last night (Dec. 10, 2011) at UFC 140 by Frank Mir, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira is all smiles on the airplane taking him to the hospital to get surgery done. As tweeted by UFC President Dana White: "Getting Big Nog to LA to get that arm fixed. #toughasnails" Indeed. No word on how long exactly Nogueira will be out but it's expected to be a long, long time. To see how severe his injury really is, take a look at this gruesome picture right here.
UFC 140 poster for "Jones vs. Machida" on Dec. 10 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Expect the bigger and better version to appear as we get closer and closer to fight night. The event features Jon Jones defending his light heavyweight title against Lyoto Machida, as well as the Nogueira brother, Rodrigo and Rogerio, taking on Frank Mir and Tito Ortiz, respectively. For complete UFC 140 fight card and line-up click here.
So are we smiling or doing "game faces?" "Game face?" Smile? Which is it? Damnit, he took the picture. Which one did you do? While I'm thinking about it, why do you get to be "Big Nog?"
Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira took to the cage last night at UFC 134 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to fend off Father Time when he fought Brendan Schaub. And that's exactly what he did, knocking out "The Hybrid" in the very first round. Find out how he did it here.
How does the young lion Brendan Schaub stack up against the old dog Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira for their fight at UFC 134 on Aug. 27 in Brazil? Complete breakdown of the bout can be found right here.
Antonio Silva has officially joined "Team Nogueira," and will be training alongside such heavyweights as Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Junior dos Santos, according to "Bigfoot's" Twitter. Quite the collection of big men, but does this mean a move to UFC would create a few matchmaking issues among some of the elite heavyweight fighters in the world?

New Point —
The sixth annual Diabetes "Carnival for a Cure" brought a steady stream of fun-loving folks to the New Point Community Building Saturday — and by the time it had ended, the event had raised $3,300 for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).
Organizer Wendy Bohman stated she was happy with the turn-out, which brought myriad kids and adults to the small community for a few hours of games and fun aimed at raising money toward diabetes research. Those who stopped by the New Point Community Building could take shots at targets with a NERF gun, fling plush Angry Birds characters from a slingshot, try out a Price is Right-inspired "Plinko" game, and even attempt to sink a putt or two in miniature golf. Participants earned tokens that could be redeemed for small prizes.
Participants could also purchase tickets that were placed into drawings for sought-after gift baskets as well as items such as a Kindle Fire, iPad Mini and small High-Definition TV.
The carnival included a variety of homemade cookies, cupcakes and other baked goods, while several children sported fake mustaches and wore silly hats in the carnival spirit.
Bohman said she is happy to have seen the program grow so quickly over the course of the last six years, and noted the carnival raised more money this year than last. In the near future, Bohman said she hopes to partner with Decatur County Memorial Hospital in some capacity, in the hopes that one day the carnival may be able to incorporate screenings for diabetes.
The ultimate goal of the event was to raise money for the JDRF, Bohman said, though spreading awareness — especially of Type I Diabetes — and educating the public on the autoimmune disease are also of great importance. Bohman organizes the carnival alongside friends Kandi Wesseler and Robin Allen. All three have children with Type I Diabetes.
But Saturday's focus was equally aimed at hosting a fun time for all community members, who appeared to revel in the many games and activities on display. Especially happy were the prizewinners listed below:
wine and kitchen baskets - Carrie Summers
movie basket - Diane Bohman
chocolate basket - Melinda Raab
31 basket - Barb O'Dell
iPad Mini - Jeremy Brown
teen boy basket - Robin Allen
Scentsy basket - Macy Kinker
television - Bev Bryant
American Girl Dolls - Terry King, Kailie Ruble
spa package - Beth Brandenburg
cheesecake and teen girl baskets - Michelle Anderson
Kindle Fire - Paula Wilhelm
boys basket and scooter - Collin Bryant

Good points: The ship appears to be well organised and well maintained. Service is generally good or very good. We found food in the Peninsular restaurant to be OK if lacking variety. The specialist restaurants did a better job but at a charge. Self service restaurants were frequently very busy - but it was usually possible to find a table if willing to share. We got on well with most people we met.
Downside: Compared with a previous cruise on Azura the ship left ports very early in the afternoons and then travelled slowly to the next destination. This must be cheaper, but compared poorly with a Royal Caribbean ship that stayed later in port, overtook us and arrived earlier at the next destination - then leaving after us again.
The entertainment was generally a good quality but the venues were not big enough for the numbers wanting to attend. Early arrival was necessary to secure a seat. Some people were arriving 45 minutes early - and our 20 minute early target was too late to get into some venues. The ticketing process to attend the "Strictly" show worked well.

The Iowa Department of Transportation is putting the brakes on red light cameras in Iowa City -- at least for now.
Earlier this year, the Iowa City City Council approved adding the cameras to several intersections, but over the summer the DOT established new guidelines and won't approve the city's request for cameras until new criteria are met.
The guidelines could impact any city that wants to put up traffic cameras on highways.
They only apply to intersections on primary highways. That's exactly where many of the proposed red light cameras in Iowa City were going to go.
Now officials with the Metropolitan Planning Organization of Johnson County are taking another look at the intersections. They still want to see the cameras installed.
"They've been shown in a lot of cities to reduce collision rates," said Kristopher Ackerson, Assistant Transportation Planner.
Officials want to see cameras at different intersections in the city that they say are dangerous.
"We have some with higher collision rates than others, some with higher pedestrian volumes than others," said Ackerson. "They vary."
The DOT is asking for more information before they'll approve the Iowa City cameras.
The department established new requirements this summer for red light and speed cameras on highways, looking to create statewide consistency.
"We want to make sure that the safety is the real reason they're being put in," said Steve Gent, Traffic and Safety Engineer. "There's no reason to put these in at a location that doesn't have crashes."
The DOT will also look at existing traffic cameras like the ones on Interstate 380 in Cedar Rapids.
That doesn't mean they'll come down; the DOT just wants to make sure the cameras are effective.
"It truly was about reducing the number of crashes, saving lives, and we've done that," said Cristy Hamblin, Cedar Rapids Police Sergeant. "We're meeting all their guidelines. So it's not going to affect us and the way that we do business."
Under the new guidelines, any city with red light or speed cameras on highways has to report data to the DOT each year.
When it comes to the cameras on I-380, Cedar Rapids Police say they haven't had a single fatality on the monitored section since the cameras were installed.
Officials in Iowa City have not set a goal for when they'd like to see cameras up at intersections.
Last year, there was a proposed bill that would have banned traffic cameras.
In January, Governor Branstad said that he would sign it if the bill ever made it to his desk. The bill never got there.

Registered readymade garment exporters can now think of tapping the potential in non-traditional markets such as Columbia and Panama.
The Apparel Export Promotion Council (AEPC) is organising a readymade garment buyer-seller meet between November 19 and 23 at Bogota city (Columbia) and the Panamas.
The council has decided to organise the meet on the recommendations of the Indian Embassy and based on the market potential for readymade garments in these non-traditional markets.
It (AEPC) is inviting garment exporters to enrol and avail the early bird discount as they have limited bookings and since this is the first time that the council is organising such a meet in these non-traditional markets.
"The exhibitors can take their latest collections specially designed for Latin American market and negotiate good orders with the buyers during the event,'' an AEPC release said.
Reports reveal that the readymade garment imports from India to Columbia and Panama surged 76 per cent and 98 per cent, respectively in 2011 over 2010.

Five Packers most impacted by lockout
PFW executive editor and resident Packers expert Dan Arkush identifies the five Packers players most impacted by the NFL lockout this offseason.
Packers have special plans right away for rookie Cobb
The consensus among our Packers insiders is that second-round RB Randall Cobb is likely to make the biggest initial impact for the team from this year's rookie crop.
‹‹ previous 1 2 3 next ››
Cobb should be ready for Saturday night's NFC divisional playoff game against San Francisco despite missing practice Wednesday.||||||| Cobb was sent home with the flu, the latest Packer to get sick.
Cobb returned for Saturday's playoff win over Minnesota after he missed the regular-season finale with an ankle injury.||||||| Cobb caught one pass for seven yards and ran two times for six Saturday.
Coach Mike McCarthy says Monday that if Cobb is healthy, he will be the Packers' full-time punt and kick returner, even in the wake of the ankle injury he suffered in Sunday's 55-7 rout of the Tennessee Titans.

The turkey is hanging out in a ziplock in the fridge with containers of sides surrounding it. Slivers of pie in tins clutter the counter and the crockpot is still in the sink soaking.
Ah, it must be the day after Thanksgiving. I only wish. It's Saturday already and when I stumble into the kitchen in search of chocolate milk, that is what will greet me.
What happened to Friday?
Let me preface this by saying I am perhaps the worst shopper in the world. I don't like crowds, I don't like people being rude and I don't like standing in line. With these things said, one might wonder what the heck I was doing heading out to shop on Black Friday. The name itself has a dark connotation if you don't know how it got its name.
She celebrated a birthday recently and Christmas is right around the corner so the goal of the day was to find her birthday and Christmas presents. A few others were lucky as well and their names were crossed off the list — the nice list, of course.
So off we went in the morning to the in-laws and then headed to the mall. Yes, the mall on Black Friday. Doorbuster sales. One-hour sales. This sale. That sale.
We hit a particular store first because saw a coat she liked in a flier. Well, the coupon we had didn't take affect until 2 p.m. It was 11 a.m. Really? You can't take my coupon now? I have the money right here in my hand and you don't want it until 2 o'clock? Whatever.
So we put our items on hold and moved on.
The most enjoyable part of the day was just talking as we walked and shopped. I don't get to spend much time with 12-year-olds so I'm curious what makes them tick. I asked a lot of questions and answered quite a few, too.
Several of her habits and mannerisms made me raise an eyebrow. Apparently, Lotus and my husband are a lot more alike than any of us first thought. Several things came up on Friday that made me turn my head to said hubby and smile. All he said was, "What? See, it's not just me." I'm not sure that applies here. They're practically the same person on some things so I'm gonna say, "Yes. It kind of is just you."
At some point we got to talking about farms. Lotus is a city girl and hasn't much exposure to the rural life we enjoy here. She and her parents passed a horse farm or two on the way here but that was about it. So I explained that we have all kinds of farms — horse farms, pig farms, dairy farms, steer farms, combined farms, farms with alpacas and llamas and goats and chickens and well, a lot of things.

Other brand name: Protostat
What Is Flagyl?Flagyl is an antibacterial drug. It is used to kill any bacteria in the body that are causing infection.
How Is It Taken?Flagyl is taken orally in tablet form. In order for Flagyl to effectively kill harmful bacteria, it is important to maintain a constant level of Flagyl in the blood. Therefore, it must be taken at regular intervals without missing any doses. Take Flagyl with 8 ounces of water.
Flagyl can be taken by itself, or it can be taken with meals. If dry mouth becomes bothersome, try chewing gum, or sucking on hard candy or ice chips.
Why Is It Prescribed?Flagyl is used to fight or to prevent a bacterial infection. It is used to treat a wide variety of infections, including those in the abdomen, bones, joints, nervous system, respiratory tract, and skin, as well as vaginal and intestinal infections.
What Do I Do If I Miss A Dose?If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose should be taken soon, just take that dose. Don't double up or take more than one dose of Flagyl at a time.
Who Should Not Take Flagyl?
People with an allergy or sensitivity to metronidazole should also not take Flagyl. Flagyl should be used under the close supervision of a physician by anyone who has liver disease.
Yeast infections may worsen while taking Flagyl.
If I Start To Feel Better, Can I Stop Taking Flagyl?NO. As you are treated with Flagyl, you may start to feel better, but that does not mean the infection is entirely gone. Take all of the medication that was prescribed to you unless instructed to stop taking it by a healthcare professional. Stopping the medication before the bacterial infection is completely gone can result in serious consequences. A stronger strain of bacteria may develop, or the infection may come back again and be more difficult to treat.
What Are The Side Effects?The most serious side effects from Flagyl are seizures and tingling or numbness in the extremities (arms, legs, hands, and feet). If you experience these symptoms, stop taking Flagyl and call your doctor immediately.
Other side effects include abdominal cramping, diarrhea, headache, nausea, loss of appetite, and vomiting. See the Flagyl side effects page for a more complete list.
What Medications Can Flagyl Interact With?Flagyl could interact with several drugs. Tell the prescribing physician about all drugs and nutritional supplements you are currently taking, especially those from the following list, which may interact with Flagyl.
- Alcohol
- Amprenavir
- Anticoagulants (such as Warfarin)
- Barbiturate medicines for inducing sleep or treating seizures (convulsions)
- Carbamazepine
- Cimetidine
- Disulfiram (Antabuse)
- Dofetilide
- Fluorouracil
- Lithium
- Methadone
- Phenytoin
- Sirolimus
- Tacrolimus
Are There Any Food Interactions?Alcoholic beverages should not be consumed until 72 hours (3 days) after the last dose of Flagyl is taken. Consuming alcohol while taking Flagyl could result in abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, headaches, and flushing. Flagyl can also change the taste of alcohol. Take care to avoid alcohol from unexpected sources, such as over-the-counter cough suppressants or cold products (NyQuil, for example).
Is Flagyl Safe During Pregnancy?Pregnant women in their first trimester should avoid Flagyl.
The FDA has classified Flagyl as a type B drug. The effect that Flagyl has on an unborn child has not been studied extensively. Flagyl should only be used during pregnancy if it is clearly needed. Notify the prescribing doctor if you become pregnant while you are taking Flagyl. Flagyl does pass into breast milk and could affect a nursing infant. It should be used with care in nursing mothers.
I Have Heard That Milk Thistle Should Be Taken Along With Flagyl -- Why?Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) may help to protect the liver from medications that may harm it, such as Flagyl. It has not been studied in direct correlation with Flagyl, but it may be prescribed as a complementary therapy.
Won't This Antibiotic Make My Diarrhea From IBD Worse?Antibiotics kill off bacteria in the body, and many can't distinguish between "good" and "bad" bacteria. Therefore, with some antibiotics, "good" bacteria in the colon may be killed along with the "bad," resulting in diarrhea. However, Flagyl doesn't tend to cause antibiotic-associated diarrhea -- in fact, it may be a treatment for it.

1/2 pound
bulk pork sausage

frozen bread dough, thawed
4 slices
hard salami
4 slices
thinly sliced ham
4 slices
American cheese
1 cup
shredded mozzarella cheese
salt and ground black pepper to taste
egg white, lightly beaten
Tried the recipe for the first time. Only thing I did different was add pepperoni to it and just used mozzarella instead of American cheese. It got rave reviews from my husband and son. We took some over to the neighbors who also loved it and asked for the recipe! Definitely a keeper!
a little scared to make this since it didn't have many reviews but it was actually super easy and good! everybody loved it. i didn't use the sausage which was optional and kept thinking i should serve this with condiments but it didn't need any. consider this recipe as a canvas - add whatever meats/cheeses you like and it's still going to be beautiful!

I've been making this for years and everyone loves it! I add provolone and pepperoni to mine.Yummy!
Overall, very good. The egg white and Parmesan cheese on top made it taste almost like a pretzel bread. Next time, we will probably substitute pepperoni for the ham and add a little bit of Alfredo for some extra moisture to balance out the crunchy shell.
After making this countless times, Hubby and I finally have figured out exactly what works for us. We always make extra, too, since the leftovers are outstanding. I prefer to fill mine with shredded mozzarella, salami, and turkey pepperoni. Hubby fills his with shredded mozzarella, salami, pepperoni, and Italian chicken sausage. Really, you can't mess this up and you can make it however you want.
Excellent! I made this for our Christmas party and everyone loved it!
I used this as the base for what I had on hand: hot sausage, meatballs and of course, mozzarella! Turned out fabulous! Thanks for this keeper!!

Q: What film inspired you to start a career as a filmmaker?
A: E.T. the Extra-Terrial (Steven Spielberg, 1982).
Q: Did you make Wolfschildren with a specific audience in mind?
A: I didn't think about my audience's age or social background. I wanted to tell this story for all the people who had never heard of the Wolfskinder and were interested in historical incidents like this one. The story of the Wolfskinder is exemplary for all refugee kids around the world, who suffer from a similar fate.
Q: What memorable events happened during the production of Wolfschildren?
A: There were many memorable moments and all of them were unique. Because I shot my movie in the wild and my actors were mainly kids, I often had only one take. This made me nervous on set, but in the end, while cutting the movie I learned very quickly: the first take is often the best!
Q: If you could work with any actor, living or dead, who would it be?
A: Michael Fassbender.

By JEFF MEYERS
---- — PERU — They say it takes a village to raise a child, but it also took an entire community to save a historic structure in the Town of Peru.
Volunteers from just about every corner of this close-knit town have offered a helping hand wherever they could in a mammoth project to save and restore the Goshen General Store.
The building had been located near the intersection of River and Barney Downs roads but now sits on property owned by the Babbie Rural and Farm Learning Museum.
Goshen was one of the earliest settlements in Peru. Town Historians Ron and Carol Allen helped to place a historic marker at the location recently. A dam, bridge and two sawmills were also constructed at Goshen, though only some bridge abutments and stones from the foundations remain.
The Goshen General Store building, which was used as a storage barn for the last several decades by Burrell Orchards and, more recently, Forrence Orchards, was transported in pieces last spring and is now being restored by museum founder Leeward Babbie and other volunteers.
"We've been working with Seth Forrence (who owned the barn) for some time," said Roger Bonner, a member of the museum's Board of Directors.
The Forrence family — like many area farmers — has saved historic artifacts that are of significance to the museum's collection, Bonner noted.
"He was going through the old barn, and at some point, he decided that he was going to have to tear it down," Bonner continued. "That's when he went to Leeward to see if he (Leeward) had any interest in moving the barn."
Babbie visited the structure and was interested in its potential. He approached the Board of Directors about the possibility, but board members felt it was too much for the museum to handle at the time, Bonner said.
But then Lincoln Sunderland, a local history buff and member of the museum board, suggested that the museum could not turn its back on such a significant piece of Peru's history.
"It's the only building I know of, the only business building from Goshen that still exists," Sunderland said.
"The other thing of interest is that this is a very unusual structure. It's not like the simple log house of that time period; it's a complex structure, a big structure."
Museum officials originally thought they might be able to move the structure across frozen fields during the winter months to the museum, which is also located on River Road.
"Once we were able to inspect the building more closely, we could see that this wasn't an option because of the building's deteriorated state," Bonner said.
"We also thought about completely dismantling the building and reconstructing it at the museum, but that would be too time-consuming and expensive."
The final option was to separate the top and bottom sections of the structure and haul it to the museum on flatbeds along River Road, an option officials chose in early 2012.
"A lot of people contributed time and money on this project," Bonner said, noting that representatives from J. Hogan Refrigeration, Remillard Wood Harvesting, Luck Brothers Construction and Chip Blair Trucks and Trailers were some of the sources of support.
Now that the building is on museum property, Babbie and his helpers are replacing rotten sections of the original structure with lumber that was harvested from the area specifically for this project.
"Once we're able to restore the building and put it back together, we would like to set it up as a display area depicting what it was like as an old country store," Bonner said.
There is no clear idea of how long the reconstruction will take nor when the new exhibit may be ready for the public, he added.
Goshen General Store was built in 1801 along the edge of present-day River Road. A flood washed away the dam years later, and the store was actually moved for the first time up Barney Downs Road, where it stood until earlier this year.
"It was originally owned by Quaker settlers," said Sunderland, who has authored or helped compile collections on the history of Peru.
"They had a tendency to build buildings that would last."

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
by altara, Sat Jul 31, 2010 at 07:05:02 AM EDT
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
Two recent news items highlight the need for this bureau and for a strong person to lead it. One is an account of attempts to stop payment on a check. The bank imposes a $30 fee and then $30 each subsequent six-month period to keep it in effect. The other report shows how some insurance make survivors under military policies believe that they are getting the money while the insurer keeps the funds and earns a good return on it.
So let's get the agency started with the best person to lead it, Elizabeth Warren. Filibuster threat? Obama should make them try. The charge that she is an activist? Exactly what we need - an activist working on the side of consumers.

Capturing the Graceful Spectacle of Andalusia's La Saca de las Yeguas
At the end of each June, over 1000 horses that for most of the year run
semi-wild in the marshland, plains and forest that surround the
Andalusian town of Almonte are rounded up by yegüerizos, the
horsemen who hold sway over these large herds. The annual La Saca de las
Yeguas dates back over 500 years, and characterizes the rural Spanish
landscape as much as Pamplona's bull run, Buñol's La Tomatina, and
Haro's La Batalla de Vino. Filmmaker Glen Milner spent four days with
the riders, capturing the scale of the custom and the elegance of the
horses as the animals were driven past the Hermitage of El Rocío to be
blessed, and then into the town to thunder through the narrow streets.
"Themes of tradition, and where tradition sits within modern society,
really interest me," explains Milner, who traveled to Greenland to shoot
the first dawn of the year with Ben Hilton for Return of the Sun,
a film that was shortlisted for Best British Short Film at the 2012
Leeds International Film Festival, and is currently working on a longer
documentary about the Middle East. "After speaking with the horsemen in
Almonte, and in particular their sons, it became apparent how much of
their identity comes from their relationship with the land," he says.
"Horsemen as young as 15 talked of living in harmony with their
surroundings and respecting the animals that share it."
Filmmakers Glen Milner and Ben Hilton Witness Greenland's First Dawn of the Year
Set against the expansively beautiful and iridescent landscape of Northern Greenland, Glen Milner and Ben Hilton's subtle and touching short visits the annual sun-welcoming ritual of the country's Inuit population, which celebrates the dawn after more than 40 days of complete winter darkness. Following the daily routine of an Inuit ice fisherman and his son, Return of the Sun examines the affects of the changing climate on their livelihood and community, and pays tribute to the locals' innate adaptability. "While we were there our fisherman lost hundreds of pounds of fish due to ice breaking away and lines being lost, rare for this time of year," explains Milner. "The fishermen were already thinking of new ways to hunt and the Inuit attitude in such a harsh environment proved inspiring." Although the pair had previously worked together on diverse projects including Rwandan genocide prisoners and a short on experimental rock band Rolo Tomassi, filming in Greenland's harsh environment offered unique new challenges. "Filming in such low temperatures with high winds is grueling. Keeping the camera out of the battering snow, keeping it warm and getting sound away from the winds was really tough, and it's so dark," says Hilton. "But emotionally, you see nature at its most inspiring and its most intense."

The International Ballet Sensation Shows Off Some Bold New Moves
Through the bustle of Manhattan's busy streets, down a nondescript hallway and into American Ballet Theater's bright NYC studios, one of the world's preeminent male dancers, David Hallberg, invites us into his fervid world in this dynamic short by director Eric K. Yue. "It's less about the dance or context of a story, but rather a state of mind," says Yue of his glimpse into the dancer's tender preparation. "David makes the most difficult and complex moves seem effortless and elegant." Contemporary Icelandic composer Ólafur Arnalds' track "Brim" taken from From Now I am Winter accompanies the progressive movement as Hallberg leaps through the space, twisting and contorting to original choreography created specifically for this film, by friend and fellow ABT dancer Marcelo Gomes. "There was no preconceived notion of how a role has been portrayed in the past, like Swan Lake or Sleeping Beauty," says Hallberg of performing for the short, which was produced by Forever Pictures. "It is really intimate because the camera is so close, whereas at the Met you have to project to an audience hundreds of feet away." Principal dancer at New York's American Ballet Theater, the Dakotan bridged the transatlantic gap in a historic milestone as the first American to join Moscow's prestigious Bolshoi Ballet in 2011, now spanning the distance as leading man at both. The cultural polymath dominated the pages of April's American Vogue, shot by photographer Annie Leibovitz in a dramatic editorial, and he also featured in the latest issue of CR Fashion Book, now seating him firmly in the eye-line of the fashion masses, and dance enthusiasts, alike.

Color Me Caught?
I prefer plugs that mimic the size and color of the local forage. Fish commonly get selective and binge on a specific bait. To score, you'd better match up your lure to that species.
The standard white body/red head (like we used for wahoo off Venice, Louisiana, and a favorite inlet plug color for snook) can resemble a mullet, ladyfish, hard tail or other bait that's injured and bleeding. Fish also sometimes strike out of instinct — not hunger. And that's fine when you're trying to feed them some treble hooks.
And on the subject of hooks, when pulling plugs on heavy tackle (50-pound class) for big fish like wahoo, loosen the drag some, or risk straightening the hooks. Or change out the trebles for a pair of strong J-hooks.
Tease 'Em!
Although our plugs swam through prime ambush zones, Hayden continually worked the rod. He whipped it forward a few feet, dropped the rod to create slack, and then let the forward motion of the boat pull it taut again. He raised the rod a bit when he did this, then lowered it and repeated that action. His philosophy: It makes the plug appear injured and panicked, which predators see as an easy meal. He explained that many trout ambush the plug during that brief, seconds-only pause when he drops the rod back. And was he ever right — we took a bunch during that pause.
We also converted those short strikes by dropping back and letting the plug suspend for a few extra seconds; if they weren't eaten on the fall, we twitched, reeled and dropped the plug back a few times rapidly. That often sealed the deal.
Unlike natural trolling baits, or even live baits, swimming plugs require neither painstaking rigging nor time to derig. Nor do you have to find them, net them and keep them frisky. Yet, like both natural and live baits, swimming plugs catch the heck out of fish. Some days, these low-maintenance lures can't be topped. Just ask Capt. Blake Hayden.
Eight Swimming-Plug Trolling Tips
1 When fishing structure, aim the rod tip at the water to maximize the plug's running depth.
2 Even though some plugs have a ring to tie to, use a loop (haywire twist with wire, and overhand loop knot with mono and fluorocarbon) when securing the leader; this gives the plug that much more latitude to swim freely.
3 Spool with braid, as the thin diameter cuts through the water, helping plugs achieve their depth potential.
4 Transom- or reel-seat release clips are ideal for pulling swimming plugs from flat lines when offshore fishing. This reduces the angle of entry of lines going into the water, and helps keep plugs down in the water column, running a little deeper.
5 Don't be afraid to use single-strand wire leader when trolling inlets or areas with heavy current. The thin diameter of the wire helps cut through the water efficiently, and chances are the fish won't notice it, especially in cloudy water.
6 Incorporate a swivel when trolling plugs — especially with spin tackle — to prevent line twist.
7 When trolling over structure near schooling fish, add action to the lures by jerking them back and pausing to let them suspend, regardless of how brief the lull. Make that plug look injured and panicked.
8 When using heavy tackle, consider replacing the stock treble hooks with extra-strength ones or single J-hooks. Or simply back off the drag a bit.

Porting Android apps to Nokia Platforms
Android applications are typically written in the Java™ language. Despite the machine-independent Java language, however, the applications are Android-specific and are heavily based on the Android Application Framework.
As a result, direct code-level reuse is typically not possible in porting of the applications. In most typical cases, it is recommended that you reuse the application design and graphics and rewrite the code using Qt technologies, but there are also several special cases.
The following article describes recommended ways to port different types of Android applications to Nokia platforms, and also covers the most typical special cases.
Overview to Porting from Android
Java™ MIDP
The Java code written for Android's Application Framework is not compatible with, for example, Java MIDP (Java™ Platform, Micro Edition [Java™ ME]) libraries traditionally used in mobile devices.
In some specific cases where there is a relatively great amount of Java-based application logic and a very simple UI, the best option to port the application may be to use the mobile information device profile (MIDP), which allows code-level reuse. MIDP MIDlets can be run on Series 40 and Symbian devices from Nokia, but not on Maemo™ devices.
In general, the recommended way to port is to rewrite the application with Qt to enable the best possible experience on the latest Symbian and Maemo devices, as well as future-proof implementation.
Linux kernel
Android runs the Linux kernel underneath, in a manner similar to Nokia's Maemo platform.
Unlike Maemo, however, Android has very different application level layers on top of Linux. Direct porting of applications by reusing code between these platforms is typically not possible, despite the underlying Linux platform.
While Android development is based on its Java-based application framework, Maemo applications are built using tools and technologies that are commonly known in the Linux world, such as GTK, SDL, and nowadays the Qt cross-platform application framework, which also supports Symbian devices.
Java Native Interface
A notable special case of the above is where the Java Native Interface (JNI) is used in the Android application. JNI allows the use of C/C++ shared libraries from Android code.
Although this is not a recommended way to develop basic Android applications, it is very useful in some specific cases — for example, with games relying on existing game engines, which are often written in C/C++.
If the Android application uses these kinds of C/C++ shared libraries, code-level reuse is also often possible, especially towards the Maemo platform but also sometimes towards the Symbian platform.
Nowadays, in addition to developing Android applications directly in the Java language, several Android applications are also built as web applications using the WebKit approach with tools like Titanium Mobile or by utilizing the LibWebCore in manual fashion from the Android application.
These types of web applications are usually best to port to Nokia platforms using Web Runtime (WRT) technology; Porting iPhone web app to WRT on Nokia devices. A Qt WebKit approach or simply rewriting the application with Qt Quick are also options to consider, especially if the intention is to develop an impressive UI. For more information on Qt Quick, see Porting Mobile Applications to Qt: Qt Quick.
Developers could also consider building a native Qt application and basing its functionality on embedded web views; for more information, see Porting Mobile Applications to Qt: Web View in iPhone, Android and Qt.
User interface
Although code cannot typically be reused, the graphics and design of the application can often be reused to good effect. For example, in Qt Quick, scaling of the existing UI elements is very easy and may not require much rework from the UI designers. Generally, however, your application will look best and be most usable if you take some time to redesign the application layout. An application layout that looks great on an Android device may not be very usable on a Nokia device, since the usage paradigm of user interface and available features affecting the user experience are different. For more information on UI design for Nokia devices, see the Forum Nokia Design and User Experience Guide.
How to Proceed with Porting
To proceed with porting, the following guides are recommended (part of this "Porting mobile application to Qt" article series):
- Porting Mobile Applications to Qt, if your existing application is UI intensive, or for any generic native iPhone application. This is the main introductory article about porting to Qt.
- Porting from iPhone to Nokia Platforms - high-level starting guide for porting iPhone applications to Qt
- Fundamental use cases for porting iPhone and Android applications to Qt - a few powerful modules and how to port those to Qt
- Useful-porting-examples - common features needed for porting applications to Qt
- Qt Quick examples for porting - examples for creating fancy UI elements with Qt Quick
- Porting iPhone web app to WRT on Nokia devices, if your existing iPhone application is based on a server-side web implementation or is mostly implemented in HTML/CSS and JavaScript™ in the client side.
- Wordpress developer story describes the real-life experience of porting an application from iPhone to Qt. Both iPhone and Qt sources of the Wordpress client are also available as open source.
- See also Forum Nokia Design and User Experience Guide for ideas on how to achieve the best possible user experience when porting your application for Nokia devices.

When Norma Fernandez, 43, heard the diagnosis that the lump was breast cancer, her mind swirled with words like chemotherapy, aggressive form, mastectomy and prognosis. Among the din ringing through Fernandez's mind was one resounding question - how was she going to explain this frightening and beastly disease to her children?
Dairy farmers in California received some good news last Thursday, after striking a deal with the state's cheese makers to tentatively bump up the price of milk paid for cheese production.

I've always been the type of person to take on challenges, especially when finding new and innovative ways to work out. I've done everything from Pilates, P90X, and the infamous Insanity (even though I only lasted a week).
On Jacob Hiykel's first day of being a Turlock Journal newspaper carrier he not only delivered local news, features and sports to the community, he also saved a life.
Turlock Animal Services will assist three low-income families and their pets thanks to Pitman High School's new club in campus.
The U.S House of Representatives voted in favor of their version of the proposed farm bill, on Thursday, which along with other agricultural reforms would end direct payments to subsidized crops.
The Stanislaus County Health Services Agency is hosting a free conference for healthcare providers that will focus on the growing number of asthma cases in the Central Valley.
Name of business: Catering Support Services
Caltrans has construction and closures planned for the following areas this week:
Their stories are all different. Some were born with drugs in their household while others lived in a world of addiction. All these women have experienced challenges that could have easily stopped them from getting the necessary help.
For the first time in nearly three months, Turlock Police Chief Robert Jackson pulled his uniform out of the closet and dressed for the day's work.
City and business leaders gathered on Monday to witness the ground breaking of Sutter Gould Medical Center's new 37,000 square foot patient center, set to be located on the intersection of North Golden State Boulevard and West Christoffersen Parkway in Turlock.
The Turlock Downtown Property Owners Association, which managed to stay afloat during the meager years of the recession and rising vacancy rates in the past, is looking forward to another 10 years of events, improvements and advocacy as the association members voted to continue the assessment fees needed to fund the organization.
Andy Cheung and Lien Diep of A&L Poultry in Turlock have been permanently prohibited from working directly with animals again, a settlement reached as a result of the producers' reckless abandonment of 50,000 hens back in 2012.
While Turlocker and United States Army veteran Cory Smith may have returned home several years ago after witnessing the affects of war first hand, his patriotism has not waned evident by his decision to take to the streets of Turlock - literally - to increase locals' understanding of the sacrifice of soldiers.
The new Sutter Gould care center opened in Turlock on Monday with the old offices on Main Street closing its doors.
Although franchise-owned Sweet River Bar and Grill on Geer Road has closed its doors, locals will soon have a new restaurant at which to dine in town as Table 26 is slated to open at Sweet River's former location in as soon as two months time.
Hall Equities Group and Turlock Irrigation District have reached an agreement regarding the required installation of an electrical loop for the Monte Vista Crossings Project that will allow the development company to move forward and ensure business openings in time for the holiday season.
A Turlock man was struck and killed by a train after he rode his bicycle around the crossing arms, the Turlock Police Department reported.
Some writers are hit with instant inspiration, while some will kick around an idea for a few years. Then there is Ann Nivens, who had an idea for a novel nibbling away at her for decades.

Great hostel! It was very clean, the staff and other travelers were wonderful, located in a beautiful area just outside the city center. It was a quick and easy bus ride to everything I wanted to see. I will absolutely stay here the next time I'm in Oslo.

It is a bit far from the city center, but in a pricy city like oslo that is worth it. In 10 minutes with a bus you can get to the National Theater. The hostel has a good breakfast, but what really pissed me off was the staff taking out stuff and literally leaving me in the dark 15 minutes before the breakfast ended. That was extremely rude. The room is good and so is the cleanliness. If you want to be close to everything pick another one, if that is not a problem for you, this is your hostel

Watch Dr Conners teach on his Integrative support to members:
Listen to Dr. Conners July 27th interview on the Robert Scott Bell show: http://www.naturalnewsradio.com
NOTE: Both Dr. Conners and Dr. Halderman practice SOLELY under their Pastoral Medical Association Licenses TO MEMBERS ONLY offering members Integrative Cancer Support, Applied Kinesiology, and Nutrition privately, not publicly. They do NOT practice chiropractic or medicine and are NOT licensed to do so in Minnesota. We do NOT treat cancer or any other diseases nor would we ever want to; our purpose is to assist members in helping THEIR body heal itself. Readers of this website must fully understand and agree to these facts and acknowledge ALL responsibility in reading all contents of information contained in this website.
As seen on Dr. Oz:
What makes us different?
1. RESULTS - We offer a revolutionary approach to health for members with Cancer and Chronic Lyme including Rife Frequency technology, NeuroFeedback Brain-Based Therapy, Metabolic Assessment, Neural Cognitive Therapy, and Applied Kinesiology. We don't treat the symptoms nor diagnose disease; we dig to find the CAUSE, emotionally, neurologically, and metabolically.
2. BOTH CANCER AND LYME ARE AUTOIMMUNE DISORDERS - We specialize in the support and management of members diagnosed with serious autoimmune diseases and cancer. Dr. Conners' book, "Help, My Body Is Killing Me, a new hope for treating autoimmune disorders" as well as his books, "Stop Fighting Cancer and Start Treating the Cause", You're Crazy", and "Beating Chronic Lyme" take a fascinating look at the successes we've had in this field. We have therapy that is used in many of the Mexico cancer clinics that we use in the detoxification process. The Light Beam Generator, TrueRife Technologies, and Beam Ray utilize light frequency technology and the Ion Cleanse utilizes polarization. Functional Medicine, nutritional testing, Gerson Therapy and classes are also a regular part of this type of patient support. It is our opinion that one can NOT do 'canned' detox programs, they can be dangerous. The immune system must be balanced and the two separate parts, the Th1 and Th2 response, must be correctly supported! Detox is NOT a cookie cutter approach.
3. SPECIALIZED APPLIED KINESIOLOGY - We have over 30 years experience in this advanced technique of care for members. See the tab to the left for more information on AK. Read ALL of Dr. Conners books available at www.Amazon.com or as a free download by clicking on the book icons above.
4. TECHNOLOGY - We are one of just a handful clinics utilizing the both COLD LASER, REBUILDER, iMRS, PEMF and A.R.P. therapy, the only clinic that we know of with such Detoxification Equipment (the Light Beam Generator, TrueRife, Beam Ray, and Ion Cleanse). Though Dr. Conners is the first to admit that we are not for everyone, we seem to attract those who are often on their 'last thread'. We love being the 'last hope' and take joy and much satisfaction in the fact that even with all the tools we utilize, WE are not the ones doing the healing!
5. WHO WE ARE - We offer ourselves; we are not uncaring, impersonal doctors. You are not just a patient, but a friend; this is not just a clinic but a ministry. We assist you on your path to healing in a warm, caring, Christian atmosphere. We are committed to pray for you and we love you even if you choose not to seek us for care.
With over 33 years of Nutritional, Metabolic and Kinesiological training, education, and practice we have helped many members with conditions ranging from Cancer to Depression; from Lyme to MS. We have had stunning success with these practice members and many others NOT because we are the ones doing the healing - we firmly believe that we are simply tools to remove interference in your God-given, innate ability to heal from the inside out. We don't heal anything - you do! We believe in the sovereignty of God and His ability to heal as well as His desire to manifest His glory through His creation. Our purpose is to help you express that glory. Our job is to assist your body's ability to express life, fullness, and joy. Removing this interference frees the body to heal; it frees you from dependence on medications, and allows a greater expression of life; it can aid in one's ability to commune with the Father.
Besides your decision to answer the call of God to surrender your life to His Son, choosing THIS kind of care may just be the best decision you ever make. Our promise to you is only the finest quality care, a genuine concern for your best, both physical and spiritual, and an honest exchange of love and kindness. Join us, Janelle, Jane, Janet, Rochelle, Cathy, Dr. Kelly and myself by calling us to get started in your unique experience.
Join us in our vision...
Soon we hope to open Hope's Dwelling Place, a center for healing that will encompass every aspect of bringing normalcy back to broken lives. We want a sacred place with room for patients to stay, learn, grow, change and heal. This non-profit facility is our vision for the very near future. Please pray with us to see it happen soon!

The Broncos have signed free-agent DL Ty Warren to a two-year contract, adding depth to a major position of need for the team.
Warren was released by the Patriots last week after New England acquired Albert Haynesworth in a trade. The lineman last played in the NFL in 2009, missing all of the '10 slate due to a preseason hip injury.
In seven seasons — all with the Patriots — Warren was a strong run stuffer and solid pass rusher, recording 20.5 career sacks. He could play both end and tackle for Denver, who has holes at both positions on their defensive line.
Already in free agency the Broncos have acquired DE Derrick Harvey and DT Jeremy Jarmon, while also re-signing DT Marcus Thomas.
Accorrding to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Warren signed a two-year contract for $10 million; $2.5 million of that is guaranteed.
