The Sundogs 2009-2010 season will open at home on October 16 against the new Allentown Americans. The season will include games against both new CHL teams, but they will only line up against the Missouri Mavericks in Independence.
Fortunately, the loss of the New Mexico Scorpions has not also meant the loss of the New Year's Eve match-up as this year the Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees will be in town for the celebrations.

I posed a question for you guys in the comments section of my Jim Miller interview about who you'd like me to speak with next. One of the top consensus picks was Dustin Poirier.
Ask and you shall receive!
I reached out to Poirier tonight and he agreed to an interview tomorrow afternoon. Obviously, I'll be working my due diligence and researching for the interview myself, but if any of you Maniacs had any questions for Poirier, here's your opportunity!
"Diamond" will be fighting in the main event of UFC on Fuel TV 3 in just two weeks against "The Korean Zombie" Chan Sung Jung and was recently a star in the MMA documentary "Fightville."
I'll check this post tomorrow afternoon before the interview and if I use any of your questions, I'll make sure to give you a shoutout in the resulting article.
Originality is better. Please don't post "How's training going?" or "How'd you get your nickname?" I can guarantee those won't get asked.
What are you waiting for? The clock starts ticking now!

This boulder features the famous Zig Zag Crack. Just east of the Moat Boulder, locate the boulder with the classic, splitter crack on its sheer face. That is the Zig Zag Crack and this is the Zig Zag Boulder.
Getting There
Follow the trail through the Black Jacks. Before you get to the Moat Boulder, look to your right and you will see an unmistakable 15 foot crack. This is not to be confused with The Black Jack Crack, which is also a splitter, but is about 30 feet tall.

Schenectady, NY, Nov 09, 2011 — Battery technology has helped untether us all from wall sockets and electrical cords. But there's a price for being portable. Batteries are rigid, heavy, they need to be recharged and replaced frequently, and they're full of toxic chemicals.

By Jade Bulecza - bio | email VALDOSTA, GA (WALB) - You can help save animals in Valdosta this weekend, Vegas style.
The Humane Society's Animal Cruelty Task Force hosts "Casino Night" to help raise money to treat at risk animals.
You can play black jack, craps, roulette, and slot machines for the cause.
This is patch now. This is a photo when she was first found. She had an infected eye and was covered in oil and mud. Her eye had to be removed.
The animal shelter picked her up and with the help of the Animal Cruelty Task Program she's healthy.
"She's just a joy the sweetest dog that you could imagine, quiet," said foster parent Richard Olphie. "She just wants to be with you all the time."
The ACT program is holding a casino style fundraiser Saturday to help animals like Patch and Champ.
Champ, a german shephard was a stray for at least two weeks. He's a work in progress.
"It's my passion, to be honest with you," said Melissa Alderman with the ACT program. "I get more joy from a wag of tail and kisses from the animal than anything else, so it really is my passion."
The program is able to get some discounts from veterinarian but medical treatment is still expensive. You can help by attending "Casino Night" this weekend or by giving a donation which will go a long way in rescuing animals.
Both Champ and Patch are up for adoption.
In the past six months, the Animal Cruelty Task Program has helped about 200 animals.
"Casino Night" is Saturday at Saint John's Catholic Church. It's from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. Call Melissa Alderman at (229) 460-2954.

Albany - A man accused of shooting and killing a female Dougherty County jailer is back in prison.
28-year old Travis Smith was out on parole for a drug conviction at the time 25 year old Tasha George, his ex-girlfriend, was killed. She was gunned down in the front yard of her home on Temple Avenue in June. Smith was arrested the same day and charged with her murder.
Now his parole has been revoked and he's back in prison. Smith will be brought back to Dougherty County for his trial in Tasha George's death. A trial date has not been set.

At Midnight, the six-year contract between caterpillar and the united auto workers expires. Both sides are negotiating at this hour in East Peoria. But a gag order being honored by both sides has kept information on the state of contract talks at a minimum.
Late Monday night will be the first indication of how negotiations are progressing at the bargaining table. If there is a contract extension, analyst say it is a sign an agreement is close at hand.
No extension means the union is trying to create more leverage at the bargaining table. Letting the contract expire means the union leadership could call for a strike.
ISU labor expert Victor Devinatz says the company has the upper hand right now.
"I do think Caterpillar has a lot of leverage here. If the UAW really felt that the contract wasn't any good, I think they would consider various types of actions. But if they feel they can get a half way decent agreement based on the environment I feel that they are going to negotiate a tentative agreement and bring it back to the membership," Devinatz.
Devinatz says if the union does strike, white collar workers will man the assembly line much as they did in the 1990's during a series of walk outs and wildcat strikes.
Even though Cat may have more leverage with high unemployment right now, Devinatz says the company can't appear to be greedy in the eyes of the worker on the shop floor.

Data includes prescription spending, doctors fees
By Melissa Daniels | PA Independent
HARRISBURG — Pennsylvania's Department of Public Welfare on Thursday announced a new "transparency portal," which gives users information on department spending.
The database on the Department of Public Welfare Open Government web page includes fees set by the department for doctors and suppliers, provider-reimbursement rates, facility audits and benefit enrollment data.
"We want to clear up any confusion about the people that we serve, what our programs do and, most importantly, how we spend taxpayer dollars," said Department of Public Welfare Secretary Gary Alexander.
One section provides a searchable database on how much is paid by Medicaid for prescription medication. Another breaks down how many residents receive benefits, along with how many applications for welfare programs are accepted and rejected monthly.
Already, the website provided information on the department's budget, statistical data, facility-inspection results and legislative testimony.
More shifts to online data collection could be coming in other areas of government. Earlier this month, the House State Government Committee moved a measure to require online filing for campaign finance, which awaits action in the House.

Hey SLC-Dunkers,
Marcus Privtt here with Grizzly Bear Blues. Was just wanting to come over here to your neck of the woods and ask some questions.
I'm a big fantasy basketball junkie, and I just picked up Favors off the waiver wire in hopes he's gonna get traded, go to a club that plans on giving him a massive amount of minutes, and ride his production.
Care to shed some light on my move? Should I bank on the trade happening, or should I turn around and try to trade Favors, perhaps convincing another player in my league to "take advantage of the Favors trade rumors" route like I'm doing?
Let me know.

Hotaling passed away Monday at age 75 in a Staten Island nursing home, where he had been since a serious automobile accident in 2007. Services are scheduled for Friday, June 7, in Washington, D.C., where Hotaling lived for many years, followed by burial Saturday in Silver Spring, Md.
"I think it was a sense of family, community and history that kept my dad coming back to Saratoga," his son, Greg Hotaling, said Thursday. "A lot of those small-town values have been lost across America. Saratoga has a lot to offer. It has a small-town feel, but in summer you've got all these big-wigs coming to town. It's a big attraction."
Longtime friend Murray Zinoman graduated with Hotaling from Saratoga Springs High School in 1955.
"We were co-editors of the school newspaper in our senior year," he said. "We got his father's car and double-dated on graduation night. He was a very bright guy. He was a people person."
Greg Hotaling said his father's love for journalism sprung from his childhood as a Saratogian delivery boy. He kept the job through high school, which helped him earn a Gannett scholarship to Syracuse University, where he became editor of The Daily Orange, the college newspaper, during his senior year.
He also earned a master's degree from the University of Minnesota School of Journalism.
"He was trained as a hard-news journalist, which included combat," Greg Hotaling said.
Through a Syracuse friend, Hotaling got his first big break -- a job with the Tehran Journal, an English newspaper in Iran in the early 1960s. That was followed by several years with the Paris Trib.
In 1967, Hotaling was in Israel for the Six Day War, then came home for assignments in the United States before going back to the Middle East in the mid-1970s as CBS bureau chief for the region, when he covered the Arab-Israeli war and Lebanese Civil War. Next, as bureau chief for McGraw-Hill World News, based in the Persian Gulf, he reported on the explosive business developments among oil powers.
During the Iran Hostage Crisis in 1979 to 1980, Hotaling was called on regularly for national television commentary and analysis because of his experience in Iran.
However, two of the stories for which he is best remembered took place in Washington, D.C.
In 1988, while working for a Washington television station, he interviewed famous oddsmaker and NFL analyst Jimmy "The Greek" Snyder, whose racially insensitive remarks created a national uproar and cost Snyder his job with CBS.
In another high-profile story, Hotaling brought widespread attention to the fact that slaves from area plantations built the U.S. Capitol, an American symbol of freedom and democracy, after he discovered historical information about it in 2000.
Congress created a task force in 2005 to study the issue and later recommended that the great hall in the Capitol Visitor Center be named Emancipation Hall, which became official on Dec. 22, 2007.
Hotaling was also a highly regarded author and three of his books are racing-related.
The New York Times called "They're Off! Horse Racing at Saratoga" a "deliciously readable" work.
He also authored "The Great Black Jockeys: The Lives and Times of the Men Who Dominated America's First National Sport" and "Wink: The Incredible Life and Epic Journey of Jimmy Winkfield," an early 20th-century jockey whose career took place amid World War I, the Russian Revolution, Paris during the 1920s and the Nazi invasion of France.
Hotaling also wrote a column for The Saratogian and donated items from his vast historical collection to Saratoga Springs Public Library's Saratoga Room, National Museum of Racing and Saratoga Springs Historical Society.
In addition to Greg and another son, Luc, Hotaling is survived by two brothers, William of Ballston Lake and James of Saranac Lake. Another brother, Charles, predeceased him.

Since I drafted my comments on Global Warming, and on the release last week of the landmark study of the phenomenon by scientists with the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, I've managed to locate two other print sources that actually reported something about this study:
"Human prints on warming," Bryn Nelson, Newsday, February 20, 2005
"Science Notebook," Washington Post, February 21, 2005 (citing a Knight Ridder Tribune wire service report)
Apologies for repeating myself. But I really do think this study's finding that the predictions of the two climate-change models they used—the U.S. Government's Parallel Climate Model and the Hadley Center's HadCM3—were corroborated backwards in time across some 7 million temperature measurements of the world's oceans and atmosphere over a 40-year period is pretty remarkable stuff.
There can be no doubting these two models' predictive capacity, in other words. They account for changes that already have occurred and been measured—principally in the oceans, where 90 percent of the planet's surface heat is stored.
On the other hand. For those of you who'd like a good laugh—or cry—it's hard to say which—try comparing what the Scripps and Lawrence Livermore researchers are reporting to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Global Warming webpage. Specifically, the webpage the EPA devotes to "Uncertainties" (quote-unquote). And if this isn't enough for you, try taking a look at last week's interview in The Independent with Lee Raymond, the CEO of the Irving, Texas-based ExxonMobil Corporation—whose record $25.3 billion in profits last year was thanks entirely to higher oil prices, giving ExxonMobil the single most profitable year in the history of corporate capitalism.
"Exxon," The Independent points out ("Exxon Chief Calls for Global Reality Check," Saeed Shah, Feb. 18),
has never accepted the mainstream science on global warming that led to the signing of the Kyoto treaty in 1997. The company points to "uncertainties" in the science and funds a number of think tanks and academics that have questioned the research. The EU has committed itself to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which are blamed for global warming, to 8 per cent below 1990 levels by 2012.
Mr Raymond said: "I also think there will be a need to be realistic about environmental targets. While the political commitment to the Kyoto process and targets is quite strong in Europe, attaining those targets is going to be very challenging, given the energy supply and demand realities. That is why a reality check may be needed regarding the attainment of those targets."
Yeah. A "reality check" for sure. As in 25-billion-reality checks.—How much would you like to bet that on their current tour of Europe, the American President and his advisers will be reminding one European capital after another just what Lee Raymond had in mind?
In the EPA's politically-guarded rhetoric ("What are the Big Unknowns?"),
Scientists have identified that our health, agriculture, water resources, forests, wildlife and coastal areas are vulnerable to the changes that global warming may bring. But projecting what the exact impacts will be over the 21st century remains very difficult. This is especially true when one asks how a local region will be affected.
Scientists are more confident about their projections for large-scale areas (e.g., global temperature and precipitation change, average sea level rise) and less confident about the ones for small-scale areas (e.g., local temperature and precipitation changes, altered weather patterns, soil moisture changes). This is largely because the computer models used to forecast global climate change are still ill-equipped to simulate how things may change at smaller scales.
Some of the largest uncertainties are associated with events that pose the greatest risk to human societies. IPCC cautions, "Complex systems, such as the climate system, can respond in non-linear ways and produce surprises."
By "IPCC," the EPA means the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change—hardly the chump organization the EPA makes it out to be. For the EPA to pretend that this one quote—"Complex systems, such as the climate system, can respond in non-linear ways and produce surprises"—Duh!—is representative of the IPCC's collective position on the phenomenon of global ("anthropogenic") warming, and to pretend, further, that complex systems or non-linearity (or crop circles or paranormal activity or whatever) gives Washington's policymakers scientific reason to ignore the phenomenon is an outrage and beyond.
It's always good to learn that on non-trivial issues such as global ("anthropogenic") warming and the long- (and not-so-long-) term risks it may pose to the survival of the human species, the official rhetoric of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is closer to the official rhetoric of the ExxonMobil Corporation, than it is to the world's scientists who have been investigating this phenomenon for the past 30 years.

The Independent (London)
February 18, 2005, Friday
SECTION: First Edition; BUSINESS; Pg. 42
HIGHLIGHT: Lee Raymond: Ours is a long-term business'
THE HEAD of ExxonMobil, the world's biggest oil company, has warned Europe that "a reality check" is needed over its commitment to the Kyoto treaty on climate change.
Lee R Raymond, the chairman and chief executive, caused outrage among environmentalists with his comments, given in a speech in London to an oil industry gathering. He declared that the targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions set by Europe, which is leading the world in the implementation of Kyoto, would prove very difficult to achieve.
Mr Raymond also took a swipe at the British Government's tax policy for North Sea operators. Exxon extracts 15 per cent of the oil and gas supplied from the UK continental shelf in the North Sea. Speaking at a dinner on Wednesday night at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London, to mark the International Petroleum Week conference organised by the Energy Institute, a trade body, Mr Raymond said the UK's tax and regulatory regimes needed to be more competitive. He said the costs of operating in the UK continental shelf were among the highest in the world.
"We have only to look back to the tax changes made in the UK North Sea in 2002 to see the interruption that subsequently took place in exploration."
In the 2002 Budget, an extra 10 per cent tax was applied to oil companies operating in the UK part of the North Sea. Mr Raymond said that, to those calling for windfall taxes to be applied to the multi-billion pound profits now being made by oil majors, "I would remind them that ours is a long- term business and that project lives often exceed 20 years".
Exxon, which also trades as Esso in this country, has never accepted the mainstream science on global warming that led to the signing of the Kyoto treaty in 1997. The company points to "uncertainties" in the science and funds a number of think tanks and academics that have questioned the research. The EU has committed itself to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which are blamed for global warming, to 8 per cent below 1990 levels by 2012.
Mr Raymond said: "I also think there will be a need to be realistic about environmental targets. While the political commitment to the Kyoto process and targets is quite strong in Europe, attaining those targets is going to be very challenging, given the energy supply and demand realities. That is why a reality check may be needed regarding the attainment of those targets."
He said the world will experience a dramatic rise in energy demand – equal to an extra 100 million barrels per day of oil by 2030 – more than 10 times the current output of Saudi Arabia, the world's leading producer. He said fossils fuels remained the only way of meeting those needs, in particular from new sources of gas. Mr Raymond predicted wind and solar energy would provide just 1 per cent of global requirements in 2030.
Unlike Shell and BP, Exxon opposes the Kyoto treaty – many saw its hand behind the decision taken by the Bush administration in 2001 to pull out of Kyoto. But Exxon insists it is taking practical actions to reduce emissions. A spokesman said that Kyoto would "impose dramatic economic costs in the developed world" while failing to tackle the emissions from the developing world. He said the company believed that "it is time to move beyond Kyoto" and focus on developing technologies to reduce emissions.
The dinner Mr Raymond addressed was disrupted by protesters, who labelled him "the number one climate criminal".
Even in Mr Bush's Republican Party and in the US oil industry, some leading voices have called for America to adopt a Kyoto-style system for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. US Senators John McCain and Joseph Lieberman introduced the Climate Stewardship Act 2005 earlier this month, but Exxon said that it opposes the move.

Seeing the Rolling Stones over the weekend trumps pretty much anything else you can do, any day of the week. Last Friday, I packed an overnight bag and headed over to Yas Island, in Abu Dhabi, determined to tick off another name on my "band list," enjoy a mini staycation, and find out if rock 'n' roll is, in fact, dead.
Rock 'n' roll was alive and kicking—in a L'Wren Scott feather coat and Hedi Slimane outfits that my five-foot, two-inch self was only able to see thanks to my very tall and very kind companion.
The Stones delivered an incredibly electrifying and lengthy performance; some artists/bands tend to cut their UAE performances short (and arrive hours late), but it's safe to say that on Friday night, we did get some satisfaction.

Schools alliance demands independent inquiry into the GCSE English grading fiasco
Schools, academies and teaching unions have announced they have formed an alliance to demand an independent inquiry into the GCSE English grading fiasco.
The group said it has "lost confidence" in Ofqual and does not feel the exams regulator should lead an investigation into itself.
It has also launched a petition calling for the issue to be debated in Parliament.
The action comes amid continuing concern that thousands of pupils were unfairly penalised by the altering of grade boundaries in GCSE English between January and June.
As the unprecedented alliance was announced, a survey found that many parents believe the Government should order an independent investigation.
The poll of 1,000 parents, commissioned by the Times Educational Supplement (TES), found that almost half (48.9%) believed ministers should sanction an investigation immediately, while 26.2% were against it. The rest were unsure.
Almost a third of parents (31%) were unhappy about the GCSE grading crisis, while 22.7% were happy. The remainder were not aware of the situation or neither unhappy or happy.
– An Ofqual spokeswoman
We want to fully understand the concerns being raised by teachers, head teachers and theirorganisations about GCSE English.
That is why we have been working hardover the past few days to meet many of them, listen to their views and shareevidence.
Their views and evidence will inform our thinking andinvestigations as we continue our work.
The alliance, which includes private and state school groups, said the decision to band together showed the "strength of feeling against a transparently unjust procedure that grades students inconsistentlyfor the same exam".
They argue that the grading changes will have "massive implications" for schools and pupils, with students left in limbo oversixth form places, or at risk of losing out on apprenticeships.
It could also damage students' university chances as many in stitutions ask for a C in GCSE English, regardless of A-level results.
The alliance said it has "lost confidence in Ofqual and the awarding bodies and deplores the absence of timely action to resolve the injustice".
"Moreover, the alliance does not feel that Ofqual could or should investigate itself. It is therefore calling for an independent inquiry."
The row over the summer's GCSE English results broke out after it emerged that grading boundaries for the subject were altered between January and June.
Angry headteachers claimed that exam boards raised grade boundaries in the subject halfway through the year amid fears that too many children were going to get a C.
– Brian Lightman, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL)
The row is essentially about fairness. It is wrong for pupils to be graded differently for the same exam.
Schools have not complained about the results in science - which dropped nationally by an even larger amount than English - because that process was seen as fair and transparent.
They have since estimated that thousands of pupils were affected by the move, with concerns centring around those who were expected to get a C but ended up with a D.
Overall, 63.9% of GCSE English exams were awarded at least a C, a 1.5% drop on the year before.
Ofqual conducted an inquiry which concluded that January's GCSE English assessments were "graded generously" but the June boundaries were properly set and candidates' work properly graded.
The regulator insisted it would be inappropriate for either of the sets of exams to be regraded. Instead, students will be given an extra chance to resit the GCSE in November.
Teaching unions have continued to threaten legal action over the issue.
Earlier this week, Education Secretary Michael Gove refused to intervene in the row as he warned GCSEs are "unfit for purpose".
Ministers should not "meddle" in Ofqual decisions, he said.

By Ann Wyatt Little - bio | email
LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - A young girl traveled 7,000 miles away from her home outside of Beijing, China to the Hub City where through the generosity of others she received the tools to embark on a new chapter in her life.
Lubbock gave 15-year-old Lena Li a gift, a gift that will give her the ability to reach out and touch lives. With help from a translator, a Texas Tech graduate student, we tell you how a tragic accident 11 years ago started the journey that brought her to West Texas.
Her smile lights up the room. Like most teenagers, she loves to laugh, eat and spend countless hours on the computer chatting with friends. But unlike most teenagers, Lena Li has to be a little more creative.
"I had the accident when I was age 4. February of that year," she recalls. Lena went outside to play in her home town of Handan, a poor farming community four hours south of Beijing. "She saw a power transformer and the sun was shining on it and she thought it was pretty and she touched it and the unfortunate thing happened," says Li about the day that changed her life.
The high voltage pulsed through her limbs. The electricity singed her skin down to the bone on both arms.
"She said she was very young at the time, so she didn't feel much fear," says Li through her translator. But what happened next would scare any 4-year-old. "Her dad said I won't leave you, when she woke up she found her dad wasn't there anymore. So she cried a lot," says Li.
Now orphaned, with both arms bandaged from shoulder to finger-tip strangers carted Lena from village to village searching for help. She says one man even tied her to his motorcycle with rope since she couldn't hold on and dropped her off with a wealthy woman.
Almost two months after the accident, Lena went into surgery. "She was asleep when the doctors took her arms," she says.
"What can you do with a child in an agrarian society with no arms? Sometimes Chinese families do that in order to save the child's life because there's no healthcare, and they can't afford to pay for it," says Executive Director of Partners in Development Worldwide.
Years after Lena's accident, Gallaway's team met Lena at her orphanage while on a trip to China. His faith-based organization has helped hundreds over the past few years. Lena is one of 15 special needs children living with her foster parents outside of Beijing.
"It's all coming full circle that I'm getting to do that for others to help them through their crisis," says Gallaway.
Dr. Gallaway understands Lena's crisis better than most. "The electricity destroyed my right arm, left hand, left elbow and some ribs," says Gallaway. He lost use of his right arm and left hand when he was 18 in an electrical accident. He says he hopes he has shown Lena that she too can beat the odds.
"To provide a model of someone with two artificial limbs who went to university and graduate school and has worked to support a family is a paradigm shift for her and everyone I meet in China," says Gallaway.
He adds that no average working person in China could afford artificial limbs. Farmers on average earn $1 a day and the prosthetics Lena needs alone cost nearly $15,000. But through donations and countless hours from people across the world and here on the South Plains, enough money was raised to bring Lena to Lubbock for a priceless gift.
"We thought her use would be mostly cosmetic, but she has just blown us away with what all she can do," says Prosthetist Jason Phillips with Lubbock Artificial Limb.
"I've watched her confidence grow and her self esteem grow," adds Gallaway. But Lena's happiness requires no translation.
"She came with one way of living with one set of possibilities and in five weeks she was born into a new life and new abilities for the rest of her life," says Gallaway about Lena's growth. She hopes to one day return the favor and says that when she grows up she wants to help those in need and be like the families that have helped her.
The Gallaways have hosted Lena and her foster father Erin for the past five weeks and they leave for China Monday morning. Gallaway says nearly $400,000 a year is donated from people in the area to Partners in Development Worldwide to help those in need like Lena.

What part of the brain is conscious?

You mean microtubules as in Roger Penrose's microtubules? There's a whole debate on that already, although the focus is on quantum mechanics, not electromagnetism.
Actually, I believe we have to give Stuart Hameroff the credit for coming up with that one.
Yes, his idea regards quantum mechanical processes in the brain, but let's disregard that possibility for a moment. The concept may or may not be proven. What I was suggesting was the possibility that microtubules could act as transmitter/recievers for neurons like miniture radio stations. If this were true, that might predict there are electromagnetic fields within the brain that correspond to the information about which we are consciously aware. The neurons might be calculating things across synaptic gaps, but the neuron might have a secondary reaction to the electromagnetic field which might serve as a 'canvas' of information we are aware of.
Would it be possible that the brain processes information in more than one way, and the way in which the information is processed results in either conscious or subconscious awareness of that information? I think the unique idea here is that perhaps there are two methods of interpreting information by the brain.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - East Baton Rouge Parish sheriff's deputies have arrested a man accused of throwing a puppy over the fence of the Capital Area Animal Welfare Society animal shelter over the weekend.
The Advocate reports (http://bit.ly/Mvg8jU ) 39-year-old Richard Hawn was booked early Wednesday with cruelty to animals and with traffic warrants.
Deputies say an anonymous caller contacted the sheriff's office Tuesday night and told deputies the man's name and location.
Glenda Parks, a board member with the society, said the hound mix puppy, called "Jimmy" by shelter workers, seems to be in good condition.

Good food and good servicePosted on 05 / 20 / 2009
Food and service were very good. I had the lunch buffet, and the server was very knowledgable about which items contained cream or ghee. There were several vegan choices.
One interesting thing---the take-out menu is strictly vegetarian, but there was meat served on a seperate table at the lunch buffet.Pros: Extensive dinner menu, Several vegan choices at lunch buffet, Knowledgable staff
Cons: Not strictly vegetarian

So pursuit of facts is arrogant? So, if I write a funny article bashing any group using anecdotal arguments, (which group I choose is really unimportant at this point), it's true - and any points to the contrary display arrogance? Finally, what makes you think I'm liberal? I'm simply pointing out, that although the article is humorous, it still provides no sources of any kind. How is this different than a liberal article attacking conservatives? It's not. In any way, shape, or form, it's no different. Like a gaggle of 6 year olds, instead of discussing key issues - like mature adults, we insist on ad hominem attacks on each other. Bloggers of all ilks fan the flames in order to make a buck - and nothing gets better.
"It isn't so much that liberals are ignorant. It's just that they know so many things that aren't so." -- Ronald Reagan
"You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means." -- Inigo Montoya, The Princess Bride
1) Being Open Minded: To a liberal, this has nothing at all to do with seriously considering other people's ideas. To the contrary, liberals define being "open-minded" as agreeing with them. What could be more close-minded than assuming that not only are you right, but that you don't even need to consider another...

How on earth did Social beat RSS?
I just read an article on Engadget about the end of Google Reader, and how it is due to the majority shift to social news discovery over RSS. People are getting their news from Twitter and Facebook, apparently. I am completely confused by this.
(1) Friends don't know what's up. I would never rely on my friends to provide me with links to news, much less the volume/breadth of news I subscribe to in Reader. If anything, I'm the one who knows about things before others do, and god knows I don't bother sharing and liking every story I read.
(2) Social news from friends is dirty. Even if my friends and acquaintances did share and like what they read, they're filtering (by not sharing) and/or commenting on it. I'm not interested in that. RSS gives me it all, straight from the site, which is as close to the source as I can get.
(3) I'm not friends with blogs. A while ago, noticed that some people were geting their news via Facebook / Twitter. I tried it. Suddenly Gizmodo and Lifehacker stories are showing up (and lengthening) my Facebook and Twitter Feeds
(4) Social is personal, not news. I want news in my news and people in my social. I follow Topolsky and Patel on twitter because I want to see what they say personally, not because I want links to their stories.
(5) Social is realtime. This is the biggest one. Does anyone have time to CONSTANTLY monitor Twitter and Facebook for news? Not only do RSS readers hold stories until you read them, there are many apps that will do offline sync (Byline on iOS, for example, has been mission critical for me for years). I can't imagine living without this. Even newspapers and magazines beat "social news discovery" on this.
I suspect that the "majority", whoever that is, are people who don't have a voracious appetite for news. Instead, they're fine with hearing about things if they are in the right place at the right time, and "oh, that's interesting, i'll click and see what it is." "Eh, If i don't hear about it, i'm sure i'll hear about it from someone else later".
Social news discovery feels like a tremendous step backward. A willingness to 'miss' things.
That's not me. Call it OCD, but I want to be assured that I'm not skipping a story unless I chose to skip it.
Pardon the pun, but am I misreading this? Is there a right way to social news in the absence of RSS?

Daytime mourns icon via Twitter and Facebook
Legendary producer Paul Rauch passed away on Monday, Dec. 10, at the age of 78, according to multiple reports. The behind-the-scenes power player helped shape the soap opera genre over the course of career that spanned over 50 years and is being remembered by fans and colleagues across the Internet.
Bing: More about Paul Rauch
Rauch broke into the business with his heart set on being an actor but went on to become a daytime icon of another kind instead. The producer was there in the 1960s when "Guiding Light" went from 15 to 30 minutes and then broke ground again in 1972 by taking "Another World" to an hour. He kept "AW" at the top of the game until 1984, while also creating his own show, "Texas," in 1980, and then continued to shape daytime with modernized production and Wild-West storytelling as head honcho at "One Life to Live," "Santa Barbara," "Guiding Light" and "Young and the Restless." He even did stints as a CBS exec, serving as VP of Daytime Programs and Programs-East Coast in the early 1970s, and more recently took his knowledge abroad to show to Russia and Poland how serial drama is done.
Plus: TV's best Scrooges | 2012's most memorable TV moments
Rauch landed eight Daytime Emmy nominations over the course of his career, taking home two wins: one in 1976 for Outstanding Daytime Drama Series "Another World" and another for 2001 Outstanding Children's Special "Run With The Fields."
MSN TV last spoke with Rauch during his 50th year in daytime, which found him at the helm of "The Young and the Restless." Back in 2010, he had his heart set on one more Best Show win, but it wasn't to be. Often touted as an actors' producers and an old school player, the tough guy also had a tendency to ire fans and colleagues alike - as soap opera power players tend to do!
"I just expect the best from people," he said of his methods. "I don't accept any less, because we have to put the product on the air and I want it to be the best. I can't live with a compromised performance or a compromised job by a cameraman. It's got to be right."
During our chat, Rauch looked back at the groundbreaking and controversial moves of his career, considered the state of daytime and talked about juggling fan expectations.
"I've been paying attention to what fans have said for a long time, from fan mail and focus groups, but there are always naysayers in daytime and they're the most vivid, loudest people I've ever heard," Rauch said. "They can also be the nastiest. You have to take what they say and run it through a filter. Ultimately, a head writer and a producer need to evolve story they think is going to work for the audience based on the audience's dedication to the characters. You have to use your instincts. It can't be a reaction."
Rauch is survived by his wife, Israela Margalit; two children; two stepchildren; three granddaughters and a TV genre that has recently seen a raging surge.
Daytime remembers a legend
As has become the norm when icons pass, soapsters have taken to Facebook and Twitter to share their condolences. News of Rauch's passing is still spreading, but here's a look at what his colleagues have had to say, thus far:
Maria Arena Bell (former "The Young and the Restless" showrunner, pictured on left) via Facebook: I considered Paul a great friend and he and Israela were at my wedding. Paul was from the old school of soaps and he really knew how to run a show and understood the value of the writer in the process. I loved working with him and I loved him dearly as a person and am heartsick to hear he has passed. I wish the best to Israela and their grown children and will really miss him.
Josh Griffith ("Y&R" headwriter) via Facebook: The Soap World mourns the loss of one of our giants, Paul Rauch. R.I.P., my friend. Go produce the hell out of Heaven now.
Frank Valentini ("General Hospital" Executive Producer): My good friend and mentor, Paul Rauch, passed away today...very sad news. Paul Rauch dedicated his life to soap operas and made a mark like no other. He will be missed, but his legendary contribution will live on.
Ron Carlivati ("GH" Headwriter): I didn't know Paul Rauch, I only met him once, but he produced One Life to Live throughout the 1980s and it was the best! RIP Mr. Rauch.
Michael Muhney (Michael, "Y&R:): RIP Paul Rauch. You were my boss, my collaborator, my fan, my advisor, and my friend.
Daniel Goddard (Cane, "Y&R): Today we lost Paul Rauch... And the world is emptier for it. I will miss you my friend. Thank u for everything u did for me. The things that u taught me will stay with me for life. Rest in Peace.
Tristan Rogers (Scorpio, "GH"): I am sad to learn the passing of Paul Rausch. This man was singly responsible for me lasting on Y&R. He was a big presence in daytime. You think back on the people who you "owe" something too and Paul was one of those people. He revered the history of the genre.
Crystal Chappell (Carly, "Days of Our Lives"; "Venice: The Series" co-creator): Paul Rauch was a dear man to me...he will be missed. Love and prayers to his family.
Paul Anthony Stewart (ex-Danny, "Guiding Light"): Very sad to hear about the passing of Guiding Light Executive Producer Paul Rauch. A great man, a brilliant producer, and a friend. He was the mastermind and motivating force behind the best of Danny & Michelle, and gave me the wonderful opportunity to portray Danny Santos, one of the most exciting characters I've ever created. Rest in peace, Paul.

Geek alert: 'Mythbusters' hosts lend their voices in this special episode
MSN TV has this exclusive image of "Mythbusters" hosts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman as members of the Empire:
Creators and executive producers Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh expressed their excitement about adding Savage and Hyneman to the cast: "We've been wanting to do something with them for ages, because they are the living adult versions of Phineas and Ferb in the real world. We ran into them at Comic-Con last year and knew that they worked on the original 'Star Wars', so when this opportunity came up we asked if they could come voice a few characters for us. It was really cool for us; we're hoping it was cool for them."
It's definitely cool for us!

On which of the new twists will have the most impact on Houseguest survival week after week:
Julie Chen: "I think "Battle of the Block" will have the most impact on a Houseguest's ability to survive. First, those competing in it will literally be fighting for their lives in the game. Second, it will get one of the HOHs (Head of Households) into BIG trouble. Let's just say that if I were HOH, I would nominate two weak players."

On the rooms and design of this season's tree house theme:
"My favorite room in the urban tree house this year is the honeycomb room. It's cozy and secluded. A perfect spot to 'buzz' with your alliance members about your team's strategy. The room has a door you can close for piracy from others. This is key to have in the house if you want to scheme!"

On her most memorable "Big Brother" interview:
"One of my memorable Big Brother interviews was last year with Aaryn. I had to check my feelings and ego at the door and set aside any personal bad feelings I had for her ugly comments. I had to do my job and be fair and straight despite how personally offended I was. It wasn't easy, but it was memorable."

---- — BEVERLY — Three of Bill Scanlon's key department heads will not be back at City Hall in January.
Mayor-elect Mike Cahill said yesterday that he will replace Planning Director Tina Cassidy, Finance Director John Dunn and City Solicitor Roy Gelineau as part of the transition to his administration.
Cahill said the other 18 department heads will all return, but he wants to bring in new people to those three key positions.
"Any new mayor coming in needs to bring in their own team," he said. "It's no reflection on the people who are there. I have great respect for the people who are there and the work they have done and the service they have given to the city."
Cahill said he met with all of the department heads last week to let them know about their future. He said the three positions that will be open will be advertised, as is required by the city charter. He declined to say who he has in mind for the jobs.
"Some people have expressed interest, and that's great," he said. "But we've got to see who else might show themselves through the process."
New department heads must be approved by the City Council.
Cassidy, Dunn and Gelineau have been among Scanlon's closest advisers. Cassidy and Dunn have served for all 18 years of his administration. Gelineau was Scanlon's campaign manager in 2003 and has been city solicitor for the last 10 years.
Cassidy's tenure as planning director even pre-dates Scanlon. She was first appointed as the assistant planning director by Mayor Jack Monahan in 1988.
"I love working for the city, and I always have," Cassidy said. "To be honest, I would've loved to continue, but it's obvious that Mr. Cahill has different plans. I'm disappointed but, frankly, can't do anything about it other than get the word out that I'm a free agent and available come January."
Dunn was hired by Scanlon as treasurer/collector in 1995 and was appointed finance director in 1997. Like Cassidy, his tenure was interrupted by the two years when Scanlon was knocked out of office by Tom Crean.
Gelineau served as Scanlon's campaign manager when he came back to beat Crean in 2003, then was appointed city solicitor.
"I've very much appreciated the opportunity to serve as the city's lawyer for 10 years," Gelineau said. "It's been a tremendous opportunity. Working with Bill Scanlon has been probably the most rewarding work experience I've had in my lifetime."
Gelineau said he will return to his private law practice full time.
Cahill won election on Nov. 5 and will replace Scanlon, who did not run for re-election after 18 years in office. Cahill said he met with Scanlon two weeks ago as part of the transition and was scheduled to meet with him again today.
Last week, Cahill attended a seminar for new mayors run by the Massachusetts Municipal Association. He will be sworn into office on Jan. 6.
"It's an ongoing process," he said of the transition. "All the mayors I've talked with say the same thing: The days run out quickly. I'd love it to be Jan. 6, but there's a lot of work to do be done between now and then."

Hi There!
Thanks for sharing your experience. I am REALLY pleased I had the surgery in October 2013. I am now pain free. This is brilliant- as before the op I was getting electric shock pains in my foot. Now I have some permanent numbness and it feels a bit like i have a crease in my sock when I walk.......; but I am satisfied with this result.
My surgeon is very cautious about me exercising too soon causing the wound to break down. I have been told not to exercise until the New Year. This is ok- and I am looking forward to using the gym again in January! I hope to start running outside again once the evenings are lighter. It has taken a year from being seen by my GP and then referred on the NHS to have the surgery. It has been well worth the wait.
Keep up your running and thanks again for replying to my post
A week ago I had my Morton's neuroma surgically excised. It was 13mm by 6mm. The nerve was removed as well. The surgeon made the incision on the top of my foot. I understand that incisions on the foot base take longer to heal and may become thickened and painful in runners.
i was discharged from hospital the following day after having had a general anaesthetic. I am partially weight bearing on crutches. My toes are bruised; but I have only a small amount of pain- NB I am not putting any weight on the front of my foot. I took painkillers routinely for 2days; but after this time I haven't needed pain killers
i had a GA and also a nerve block. This block was a local anaesthetic and given for pain control. It was great and lasted 24hrs. When I was numb I used a frame to hop to the toilet!
i have an appt in one weeks time to get my sutures removed. I am wondering how long it will be before I can exercise again and will be asking the consultant. I believe I will be able to cycle and row before I can run.
The surgeon told me that it could be upto 6 months before I know if the surgery has been successful.
can anyone share their experience of surgery for a Morton's neuroma and also of their recovery? I am really interested in the recovery procedure
I've got the camelbak octane. I am a slight female runner and find this hydration pack very useful and comfortable. It has a waist and chest strap and doesn't bounce- even when the bladder is full. On the waist strap/belt there are 2 side compartments where I store gels or jelly babies. When you fill the bladder- squeeze out the xs air before closing the seal.....this helps to prevent the "sloshing" noise of the water when you run. Another tip is when it is not in use- store the bladder in the freezer- this helps prevent mould. When you need it- pour boiling water on the water tube to dissolve any ice that may have formed. If you are going to buy a camelbak: I strongly recommend a one with a chest and waist strap. I had a cheaper version and it only had a chest strap: it bounced when I ran.
I ran too much and didn't take adequate nutrition for the distances I was running(upto marathon training). I too have a history of osteoporosis in my family. I had several metatarsal stress fractures(3 x) whilst running. A DEXA bone density scan picked up I too had osteoporosis. I had treatment, took calcium/vit D, reduced my running and improved my nutrition. This all went in my favour. I am now 42yrs and have osteopenia in my lower spine;but my hips are in the lower range of normal. I get a DEXA scan every 2 yrs.
As Elspeth says: if you are concerned;you could ask for a DEXA scan. If you are underweight: I suggest you also discuss with your GP what a healthy BMI is for you.
Hope this is of some help to you
I have the OMM Ultra 12 litre.
It is very comfy to run with and holds a change of clothes( not bulky ones) and a v. small towel( obviously without the bladder). It has a waist and chest strap and does not bounce around. I think I paid around £40 online. I really like it and it doesn't chafe.
My ITB problems were settling before the appt. It was a chronic condition though..........so I can't say for sure that I'd have been able to run.
Like you Paul, I had a deep tissue massage 2 weeks before the GNR last year. I am convinced this session caused me to have to withdraw from the race.
The deep massage was for ITB problems. It was incredibly painful. The physio did it and used his hands and elbows. About 24hrs later I came out in HUGE bruises- so much so, that I went back to the clinic to check this was "normal". I was told "yes"- that some people do bruise. I have never had such a painful massage before. The bruising was very painful. Advice from Physio was to run the GNR- as I wouldn't do myself any damage. I decided I did not want to run 13.1m and be able to "feel" every stride.
Now, I am avoiding any deep tissue massages leading up to an event
I use Nike Vomeros. Great cushioning. Some people comment they are "too cushioned" and they don't like the "spongy feeling". I love them. I'm onto my 6th pair. Def more cushioned than the pegasus in my opinion. They are more expensive though and not that easy to get. I get mine from Start Fitness.
If you have a medical condition- I use MedicAlert- a sports wrist band. This has a metal emblem with medical details engraved on and your membership number with a 24hr hotline. All on a nice velcro strap. Its £25 a year I think. You also get a laminated card to keep in your wallet/purse. This has your medical details, Dr's name , practice address and tel no and your name and two contacts name and address.
I have custom made orthotics in my running shoes( made by an NHS podiatrist)
I wear sweatshops footbalance insoles in a pair of boots that I wear alot for everyday walking. When they were first made- I have to say that they felt q supportive and did correct my overpronation to a degree;but not as good as the custom made orthotics.
I haven't used them for running in though........so I suppose I'm not much help!! Sorry......

Definition: A rubric is a scoring tool that teachers use to assess student learning after a lesson. Using a set of criteria and standards (directly tied to the stated learning objectives), educators can assess each student's performance on a wide variety of work, ranging from written essays to class projects.
When a rubric is agreed-upon and communicated prior to the student's work being completed, the grading process is very clear and transparent to all involved. Often, it is helpful to have more than one evaluator grade each piece of work. Then the rubric scores can either be averaged or added together for a final score.

I just wanted to share with you guys that i have updated my madden to include all the cuts and signings and our defense is BARE
With a few signings (Cato June LOLB, Leigh Bodden/Chris McAllister CB, Morlon Greenwood ROLB, James Butler/Jermaine Phillips SS) it soon became one of the best defenses in the league.
My point is have some patience. Obviously i dont expect all these signings but we can get a good squad of players who dont cost the earth. Very much like New England.....
