Barry vs. Beckles?  Did you really just drop the all bald black people look alike card? Not funny, not clever just ignorant.
I think that is his wife.
Now we all know how much Ian says he can tell when a guy is roiding and always seems to point out his Head size.. Well I went to their website and was shocked at how much Ian looks like Barry Bonds and that Ian`s Head was the Same size if not bigger!! Now he also played in the 90`s and even though he has denied using Steroids there is just to much doubt. Heck everyone playing in the 90`s and now have denied using roids. But if Ian is going to keep saying how big Barry`s Head is and Ians looks a little bigger it would seem as if Ian was a Roider Too!!! alledgedly
You know who has a huge head? Jerry Wunsch. That guy's head is basically as big as a cow's head. I hadn't seen him in years, but I saw him at Lee Roy Selmon's restaurant the last time I was in Tampa. There's no mistaking Jerry. He has the biggest head ever. Nice guy.

|Pete Souza
Souza prepares for an interview in May 2009.
|1954 (age 59–60)
New Bedford, Massachusetts, U.S.
|United States
|United States
|White House Photographer (1983–1989)
Chief Official White House photographer (2009–present)
|United States Government
Pete Souza (born 1954)[1][2] is an American photojournalist and the current Chief Official White House photographer for President Barack Obama and Director of the White House Photography Office.[3] He was the Official White House Photographer during President Ronald Reagan's second term, 1983–1989. He was a photographer with Chicago Tribune (Washington bureau), 1998–2007; during this period he also followed the rise of Senator Obama to the Presidency.[4][5]
Souza was born in New Bedford, Massachusetts and grew up in South Dartmouth, Massachusetts,[citation needed] from a family of Portuguese ancestry.[6] Souza graduated with a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in public communication from Boston University and a master's degree in journalism and mass communication from Kansas State University.[5][7]
Souza started his career in the 1970s in Kansas at the Chanute Tribune and the Hutchinson News.[8] In early 80s, he was a photographer for the Chicago Sun-Times. He served as an official White House photographer for President Ronald Reagan during his second term, from June 1983 until 1989. He was also the official photographer for the funeral services of Ronald Reagan.[7]
Thereafter, he continued to be based in Washington D.C., and worked for ten years as a photographer for the Chicago Tribune Washington Bureau (1998–2007).[5] It was during this period that in 2004, Jeff Zeleny, now a political writer for the New York Times, asked Souza to take photographs for a project documenting Barack Obama's first year as U.S. senator.[9]
Souza covered Obama's arrival to the Senate in 2005 and met him for the first time on Obama's first day in the Senate. He documented Obama's time in the Senate, following him in many foreign trips including Kenya, South Africa, and Russia. In the process he not only became close to Senator Obama, he ended up following his rise to Presidency.[4] In July 2008, Souza published a bestseller photo-book The Rise of Barack Obama, in which photographs between 2005 and 2008 were compiled.[10]
In May 2009 Souza began using Flickr as an official conduit for releasing White House photos. The photos were initially posted with a Creative Commons Attribution license which required that the original photographers be credited. Flickr later created a new license which identified them as "United States Government Work" which does not carry any copyright restrictions.[11] The photos however are posted with the following disclaimer, "This official White House photograph is being made available only for publication by news organizations and/or for personal use printing by the subject(s) of the photograph. The photograph may not be manipulated in any way and may not be used in commercial or political materials, advertisements, emails, products, promotions that in any way suggests approval or endorsement of the President, the First Family, or the White House."[12]
Souza has also worked as a freelancer for National Geographic and Life magazines. After 9/11, he was among the first journalists to cover the war in Afghanistan and the fall of Kabul.
He was an assistant professor of photojournalism at Ohio University's School of Visual Communication[5] and later he was asked to become the official White House photographer for his second time for the new President-elect Obama.[9][13] On January 14, 2009, the new presidential portrait was released; it is the first time that an official presidential portrait was taken with a digital camera.[14] A week later he was present at the inauguration and following day he was the only photographer present for Obama's second swearing-in on Obama's first workday in the Oval Office.[9]
In 2010, National Geographic produced a program about Souza titled The President's Photographer which featured Souza as the main subject while also covering the previous White House photographers.[4]
Souza's 2011 photograph of Obama in the Situation Room during the raid on Osama bin Laden has become one of the most viewed images on Flickr.[15] As White House photographer, Souza travels with the President to document each meeting, trip and encounter for historical record. Along with his staff, Souza produces up to 20,000 pictures a week.[4]
In November 2011, Souza was included on The New Republic's list of Washington's most-powerful, least-famous people.[16]

Danny Sullivan | June 15, 2005 | Comments
SEO isn't all bad. It can be quite good, in fact. Last of a two-part series.
SEO (define) is being described as worthless and criminal. It's conducted by shady marketers. But SEO isn't all bad. Today, I conclude my defense of SEO.
SEO Should Respect Design
Search engine optimizers who work with designers must remember there's life outside the search engines. Design standards are pursued for good reason. Pushing some things purely intended to help with search engines can have unintended consequences, and not necessarily help with search engines at all.
Last December, we had a panel called "Web Standards, Good Design and SEO: You Can Have It All" at SES in Chicago. It brought together Eric Meyer and two panelists from the San Jose show, Matt Bailey of The Karcher Group and Shari Thurow of Grantastic Designs.
Meyer led off, explaining why the design community and others are pushing for and adopting Web standards. Pluses include lower bandwidth costs (a big issue for high-traffic sites), and code portability: write it once and output to various platforms (browsers, cell phones, TV, even search engines) is easily achieved.
Bailey spoke next, discussing how standards can help people with disabilities. His presentation went far in bringing home the effect abusing design standards purely for SEO reasons can have.
Images have long been able to have ALT text associated with them. The rationale is to help those who can't see the images, like Bailey's father, whose declining eyesight due to multiple sclerosis makes him increasingly reliant on a screen reader.
A screen reader reads all the text on a page, including that in ALT text. Imagine coming across an image tag that repeats a term hundreds of times in the futile hope it will somehow boost page ranking. Bailey demonstrated how long it took the screen reader to go through all the words stuffed into just one image. It was painful to endure.
Elements vs. Pages
Thurow pointed out new design techniques, such as using CSS (define), cause people to wonder how to apply them to SEO. Can text for search engines be hidden from users via layers? Should the title attribute be added to links in a quest to boost rankings?
Sadly, some in the SEO space may be reaching for new element-driven techniques to boost rankings the way ordinary HTML was used in the past. People sometimes obsess over using certain page elements, rather than view a page's success as a combination of many factors. Do you have a meta keywords tag? Do you put text into an H1 tag? Are you using ALT text?
Design elements are something to consider, but no single element is a make-or-break factor with search rankings. Pages will succeed even if terms aren't in ALT text. Pages with no meta tags do well. Pages can even do well despite having non-descriptive page titles, thanks to link analysis influence. It's nevertheless easy for people to overly fixate on page elements.
Emerging design standards mean people are contemplating new ways to lose sight of content SEO's (CSEO's) main focus: ensuring good page content is friendly to search engines by eliminating barriers and appropriately making use of particular page elements.
In other words, do you have a good page to begin with and good content on the topic you hope to be found for? That's the forest of the CSEO world you must see. Viewing a page primarily from the element basis (do we have terms in X, Y, and Z areas?) focuses on the trees and keeps you from seeing the forest.
The Reputation Problem
Last year, author Mike Grehan explained how guest book spam had an terrible effect on a friend's memorial site:
Not long after his funeral, I received an email from Penny, Ed's wife. She was obviously very upset and explained that she'd been to Ed's memorial page to read the new entries and couldn't believe that "someone had placed adverts on it."
It wasn't too long before I found myself receiving notes every couple of days from people who had been to the memorial page and were horrified to find promotional messages for ring-tones and other affiliate type programs. And so I started my daily vigil of downloading the memorial page and cleaning off the junk.
What Grehan describes isn't CSEO; it isn't based on improving your own content. Nevertheless, this type of activity is viewed as part of the larger SEO sphere. No wonder so many people have a dim view of the entire industry when they encounter such things. Even Grehan, a long-time search marketer, was frustrated:
Even common decency may be abandoned in futile attempts by desperate (or simply less educated) online marketers and others who will seemingly stop at nothing to try and gain links in hopes of seeing more green in their Google toolbar....
But even if you don't believe me and my writings about effective link building, are you really prepared to commit yourself to the virtual desecration of someone's memorial site and bring pain to their loved ones to sell a ring tone? If so, then why not head out to your nearest cemetery with a can of spray paint and plaster your URL's on the tombstones. Your actions in the virtual world of the web are the same.
I share that frustration. Trackback (define) link spam on the Search Engine Watch Blog has grown so much that I finally shut off trackbacks. I was sorry to do so, but it was no longer worth the time to remove 20 or so bogus links each day, even with the automated removal tools I have. In a recent article about WordPress spam, I cover an example of not finding a phone number I wanted due to word stuffing on a page.
Such tactics are annoying, even to search marketers. Still, it behooves everyone not to tar an entire industry with the same brush. For all the bad things people want to lump under the umbrella of SEO (and really search engine marketing (SEM), of which SEO is just a part), there's also plenty of good. Decry a particular SEO tactic, if you want -- but don't decry the entire SEM industry as rotten.
Realistically, I don't expect the SEM reputation problem will go away. Can the industry do anything to improve it? Promoting "good" or "ethical" SEO has been raised in the past. It's a difficult issue for many reasons. I'll revisit this in the future, plus look at some possible solutions. In the meantime, further reading on the topic:

Mercedes-Benz SLC spied testing again at Nurburgring
Could be out in 2015
The Mercedes-Benz SLC has been spied once again while undergoing testing at the Nürburgring circuit in Germany.
Internally known as the C190, the SLC prototype seen here is heavily camouflaged but we can still notice some SLS influences, including what appears to be a very long hood. Unlike the larger SLS which has gullwing doors, the SLC will adopt conventional doors along with a dual exhaust setup and a trunk-mounted spoiler.
Power will reportedly come from a twin-turbo V8 4.0-liter outputting approximately 485 HP (357 kW). Rumors are also suggesting an S derivative packing 550 HP (404 kW), as well as a flagship Black Series version unleashing somewhere in the region of 585 HP (430 kW).
Scheduled to go on sale probably in 2015, the Mercedes-Benz SLC (name not confirmed) is expected to carry a starting price of 109,000 EUR.

Cassmeyer Buddymoon! by LaurieGibbons - about 2 years ago
"Our friends Brian and Cassie Brockmeyer got married in Sonoma, CA, on July 21, 2012. After the wedding, they decided to go to Lake Tahoe for the week, and we decided to go along! Because we were essentially crashing their honeymoon, we decided to get t-shirts to commemorate the occasion. The front says "Cassmeyer Honeymoon" and the back says "It's impossible to separate a great wine from a great experience," as a nod to the wine-infused nature of the wedding. This picture was taken on July 22, 2012, the day after Brian and Cassie (the aforementioned Cassmeyer) got married, at the Pier Bar in Incline Village on Lake Tahoe. We raised dacquiris, wine and beer to toast to Cassmeyer many times! Several other people at the bar were impressed with our shirts and took pictures. It was a great time, made greater by our fantastic shirts!"

Controversial Senate Bill 1062 sparked protests throughout the state today.
The bill has made national headlines, in part because the protests are moving online.
The website www.sb1062.org leads to a Change.org petition urging Gov. Jan Brewer to veto the proposed bill. It was created a few days ago and has more than 64,000 signatures.
Based on the response, many are eager to speak out against the bill, but not many people are publicly showing support for SB 1062.
Azpolicy.org, created by a conservative lobbying group, encourages bill supporters to sign a pre-written letter to be sent to a state senator or representative, according to the website.
The website does not say how many people have sent the letter.

Robertson was born the last of three children to a family of educators. Her father was a musician, her mother a school librarian.
Carole's Sister, Dianne Robertson Braddock said, "We were a close family, we did a lot of stuff together as a family."
And Carole was involved in school and her community as a library assistant at Wilkerson Elementary, she was a Junior Girl Scout, a member of an African-American family organization - Jack and Jill, and later played clarinet at Parker High School.
Five years older than Carole, and a college student, Dianne Robertson Braddock was working for the summer in New York, when her sister was murdered.
Robertson Braddock said, "It was just unbelievable, very hard to understand..."
Carole was in the bathroom of 16th Street Baptist Church along with Addie Mae Collins, Cynthia Morris Wesley and Denise McNair, when a bomb planted by suspected KKK members, went off, killing them and injuring scores others. That includes Sara Collins Rudolph, who was also in the bathroom and survived that fateful day.
Braddock said, "It was just very, very painful and I think all of us went through it, just going through the motions..."
Braddock said, "They were so hurt. My father I think never got over it and my brother never did either."
The Robertson family made a choice to not be part of the mass funeral with the three other little girls families, instead opting to have a private one.
Braddock said, "But I agree with my mother's decision, I'm very happy that we had our own private ceremony ... I looked at what happened with the others, that was a lot. something like that is very personal, I believe."
Today - Braddock uses her sister's death as a teaching tool - explaining what the Civil Rights Movement was about - voting rights and equality.
Braddock said, "You had to pay money to vote, after you paid your poll tax, then you had to take a test, most of the tests were set up that you didn't pass them."
And years later when those responsible for the bombing were convicted, Braddock and her family learned a different lesson.
Braddock said, "You can't ever have closure but what it did do, for me and my mother, particularly was to understand that even after all that long time, they were brought to justice."
As for equality today?
Braddock said, "We do have equality but I worry, about some of the stop and frisk laws, some of the things that are happening now in our communities, where we wonder about equality and justice, whether we're getting equal treatment."
An equal treatment, many can agree, not given 50 years ago... when Carole Robertson, Addie Mae Collins, Cynthia Morris Wesley and Denise McNair were murdered at 16th Street Baptist Church.

A seventh-grade student from St. Norbert's School in Paoli is heading to the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington after winning the Chester County Bee on Friday.
Jacob George won the competition held Friday in Downingtown by correctly spelling " bandicoot"which the Merriam-Webster Dictionary site defines as:
1: any of several very large rats (genera Bandicota and Nesokia) of southern Asia destructive to crops 2 : any of various small chiefly insectivorous and herbivorous marsupial mammals (family Peramelidae or family Peroryctidae) of Australia, Tasmania, and New Guinea
Jacob has until late May to prepare for the national competition which is held in Washington, DC.
How Jacob is preparing for national competition.
He's studying by reading the dictionary he won at the Chester County bee. "It weighs about five pounds!" One classmate told Patch.
Jacob has a lot of support from his entire school. To celebrate his county bee victory, about 70 students from several grades formed a conga line and danced through classrooms with one student carrying Jacob's brand-new five pound dictionary to lead the way.
Jacob's friends are behind him all the way. "He's a great friend and an amazing student," declared Thomas, a sixth grade friend and spelling fan. "He's a really good speller," 7th grade classmate Brenden added during a conversation with Patch at the school's U.S. History Night Monday. Several friends call the 12-year-old spelling ace "a walking dictionary."
Jacob's mother says her son has always been in interested in spelling and words. "He likes words and reads a lot," she told Patch. Zeena George describes herself as a "coach" when it comes to helping Jacob study. "I try to teach him the word origin, that's a big secret to (his spelling bee) success."
Jacob, who says there's no television in his family's house doesn't spend all his time studying. He's very involved with two ice hockey teams. With the national spelling bee looming in May Jacob says he'll probably switch his word study routine from 45 minutes several days a week to about 30 minutes of study every day. He's got a plan, and his work cut out for him. As of Monday night Jacob reported he was "still in the A's" in his new dictionary.
His friends have no doubt Jacob will have the spelling bee words covered from "A to Z" by the time he heads to Washington for the Scripps National Spelling Bee.

Today at around 3:30pm FLYERS Head Coach Peter Laviolette was on a CERTAIN FM Radio station for an interview. I am not sure if I can mention the name of the Radio station because of Infringement rights and stuff but its a Sports radio station on the FM Dial, Which pretty much narrows the field down to ONE STATION.
ANYWAYS - he brought up some interesting comments and statements.
First thing he did was RIPP into the Local Sports Radio Station that for the past 4 months the FLYERS have been up in the TOP 5 of the ENTIRE LEAGUE and they local sports radio stations all have not even given the FLYERS any SNIFF of P.R. or discussions or anything
Let them Know that its called SPORTS Radio for a reason and not ALL EAGLES ALL DAY ALL NIGHT Radio !
I was enjoying listening to the local Radio station host Squirm and wiggle in his seat feeling uncomfortable with the whole Idea that he was put in a difficult situation. If he agrees he just bites the hand that feeds him in the Marketing and Production Department's daily ALL EAGLES ALL DAY ALL NIGHT program lineup. If he disagrees he then pretty much looks like a DOPE because Laviolette pretty much pointed out that they have been the top 5 in the entire NHL since the start of the season and the radio host would just look foolish denying that.
Then Laviolette was talking about Avery and pretty much did the whole Cliche answers and like a Bobrovsky on the ice just deflected those shots to the side boards.
Laviolette was then asked about Brian Boucher and Sergei Bobrovsky and he mentioned a comment that I felt needs to be expressed here on SB Nation.
According to Laviolette's Radio Interview, He said, Back in September, BOB told Goaltending Coach Jeff Reese in Choppy English, that once he gets settled, he was going to go a MONTH without LOOSING a game ! NOW This is AWESOME and quite Ironic and I dont know if its easy for Lavy to make that up right now or if BOB really did say that to Jeff Reese or not but it sure makes for great Sports Talk !
When asked why he went with Brian Boucher he stated he still feels that both Goalies are capable of winning in MSG (Steriotypical comment coming from a head coach) but he felt that the NY Crowd and MSG is a little bit unforgiving and a harder place to play and that the BOARDS are older and he felt that He wanted BOB to get the feel of the stadium and get BOOSH in the Net this time around.

News: T.I. Under Scrutiny, Federal Agents Assigned To Trail Rapper
Monday, Dec 22, 2008 2:35PM
T.I. has reportedly been assigned federal agents to keep a close watch on him during the upcoming New Year's Eve festivities.
According to the New York Post, the self-proclaimed "King of the South" will have two trained agents standing guard while he performs at Miami's Gansevoort South Florida venue next week.
Tip is scheduled to help bring in the new year at the forthcoming New Year's party hosted by Boys Don't Cry actress Chloe Sevigny but will reportedly be monitored throughout the entire event.
Since pleading guilty to felony weapons charges in 2007, the Grammy winning rapper is reportedly unable to travel outside the state of Georgia without encountering federal security to monitor him. He is scheduled to report to jail to serve a one year sentence in the coming year.
In related news, Tip and Ludacris are both scheduled to perform on "NBC's New Year's Eve with Carson Daly" special next week.
Both emcees will help headline Carson Daly's annual ceremony alongside performers like "I Kissed A Girl" singer Katy Perry as they ring in 2009.
"New Year's Eve with Carson Daly" is scheduled to air live Wednesday, December 31 beginning at 10 p.m. EST

Upward Bound Program at EKU
What is the Upward Bound Program?
The Eastern Kentucky University Upward Bound Program (UB) is funded by the United States Department of Education, has 46 years of positive impact on the lives of Kentucky students in Casey, Estill, Jackson, Lee, Lincoln, Powell and Wolfe counties, and is designed to work with nominated high school students (9th - 12th grade) who are:
- Interested in being first-generation college graduates in their family
- Unable to afford college
- Willing to participate in tutoring and classes in their home counties and during the summers on EKU's campus
- Motivated to raise their ACT scores
- In need of academic support in order to attain their education goals beyond high school
- Interested in cultivating new friendships and enjoying positive experiences
What services are provided with the program?
Academic and consultative support services are provided at no cost to selected students or their legal custodian. Those services include:
- Assisting with the navigation on how to apply for college financial aid
- Coaching time management, study skills and decision making
- Providing educational field trips
- Year-round career, academic, and financial planning
- Broadening life experiences through cultural events, academic programs, and other activities
- Offering financial stipends
- Providing monthly one-on-one tutoring
- Supplying online supplemental tutoring programs that are available 24 hours/7 days a week
Upward Bound's inclusion of the six-week residential summer program that strengthens skills in subjects such as English, Math, Science, Foreign Languages, Literature, Journalism, Computer Science, and Speech and Drama makes it unique in high school educational supplements. Then, when a student graduates from high school, UB continues to monitor that student until he/she completes post-secondary education.
This WIA Title I - financially assisted program or activity - is an equal opportunity employer/program.
Auxillary aids and services are available upon request to individuals with disabilities.

Wash the brussels sprouts well. Trim the stem ends and remove any loose outer leaves. Cut in half from stem to top and gently rub each half with olive oil. Heat butter in skillet and sauté onions until soft. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to your skillet over medium heat. Don't overheat the skillet, or the outsides of the brussels sprouts will cook too quickly. Place the brussels sprouts in a single layer in the pan flat side down, sprinkle with a couple pinches of salt, cover, and cook for roughly 5 minutes; the bottoms of the sprouts should only show a hint of browning. Cut into or taste one of the sprouts to determine whether they're tender throughout. If not, cover and cook for a few more minutes. Once they are tender, uncover, turn up the heat, and cook until the flat sides are deep brown and caramelized. Use tongs to turn them once or twice to get some browning on the rounded side. Season with a dash of balsamic vinegar and salt and pepper, and a sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately.

Mississippi Department of Transportation highway workers competed in the annual "Heavy Equipment Operators Roadeo."
It's an event that may help you appreciate the skill it takes to operate some of that heavy road equipment.
This is not your typical driving range. More than seventy experienced MDOT heavy equipment operators took the skills they use on the highways to compete in the annual heavy equipment roadeo. the contest takes immense skill and tenacity.
Scott Horton is a heavy equipment operator and competed in the competition. Horton says, "it's tough, it's really tough you know you gotta know what you're doing and it's about the same as going out on the road and trying not to run over anybody."
The competition requires each contestant to perform a number of skills with six different pieces of heavy equipment. One of the challenges involves placing five golf balls in cylinders with a backhoe.
Mark McConnell, an Assistant Chief Engineer for MDOT says "there's a little tooth on the end of the backhoe and it's got a one inch washer, we put five golf balls in a sandbox and they have to pick up the golf ball with that washer and then drop it into five different cylinders."
Other challenges involve parallel parking and backing up into an alley dock without hitting the dock, and weaving in and out of barrels without knocking them down.
Horton says, "a lot of it comes down to just luck, a lot of it, like I say you really have to know what you're doing."
One of the main goals of this competition is to recognize MDOT workers for all of the hard work that they do. They say it takes a lot of skill and talent to maneuver many of this heavy trucks."
Horton's wife Lisa Horton says, "it takes a lot of talent for what they do you know it's hard to do some of the stuff they do."
The winners from Friday's competition will go onto the regional's.

ONE person remains in Bathurst hospital after inhaling toxic fumes from a chemical spill at a waste management facility in Blayney, but the cause of the spill remains unknown.
Environmental Treatment Solutions (ETS) director Jock Germany could not be reached for comment about Thursday's 25-metre chemical spill, which forced the evacuation of St Joseph's Catholic School and hospitalised eight workers and a police officer when they were overcome by fumes.
The Environment Protection Authority (EPA) and WorkCover are investigating the incident.
EPA south director Gary Whytcross said the investigation would take several months.
"The EPA will inspect the ETS premises, require a report from the company on the incident, interview ETS staff and where required issue a statutory notice to the company to provide specific information," he said.
"Initial investigations suggest that the gas emission is thought to have been hydrogen sulphide."
Hydrogen sulphide, commonly known as rotten egg gas, is highly toxic and explosive.
A WorkCover spokesman said the fumes were created by a chemical reaction during the neutralisation of hazardous substances at the centre.
The business is barred from using the process while investigations are underway, but can continue other operations.
Mr Whytcross said the EPA would closely monitor the business's performance and may restrict its operations if problems are identified.
Blayney Shire Council mayor Scott Ferguson said the council would wait until the investigations were finalised before deciding if further action was needed.
"The main thing is that no one was seriously injured," he said.
"They're a good employer of local people. Hopefully it was just an accident."
Cr Ferguson said historically the school, nearby residents and the industrial estate around the ETS site had coexisted well and incidents had been managed.
But he said the emergency highlighted the need for a second route over the rail line, with the Adelaide Street crossing currently the only access.
"We've got the emergency bypass, but it's only a dirt track," he said.
"If you combined that [chemical spill] with an issue at the railway line, all of a sudden the police can't get through."
A Western Local Health District spokeswoman said one patient remained in Bathurst hospital in a stable condition.
The other eight patients in Bathurst and Orange have been released.
ETS must provide a report to the NSW planning department and Blayney Shire Council within 24 hours of any incident or potential incident with actual or potential significant off-site impact on people or the biophysical environment, according to its development consent issued in 2010.

Prime Minister John Key says Australian consumers will miss out if they stop buying Kiwi products.
Some New Zealand companies are crying foul after two big Australian supermarkets axed their contracts to supply home-brand products in favour of Australian produce.
Mr Key raised the matter with Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott in Sydney yesterday.
Mr Abbott says it's a commercial issue and has launched an inquiry into the supermarkets.
Mr Key told TV ONE's Breakfast the moves are to the detriment of Australian shoppers.
"In the end it's the Australian consumer that will eventually say you know what, I want a New Zealand product because it's better.
"The number one selling white wine in Australia is a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc."
He said the reality was that the supermarkets were only doing it with home-brand, and said he will not be encouraging New Zealanders to pick Kiwi products over Australian products in response.
The Prime Minister said Mr Abbott is actively encouraging New Zealand companies to be involved in the inquiry.
"There's a million things that we do with Australia and like any relationship which is that tight and that broad and deep there will always be one or two issues".
Coles and Woolworths say they are giving their customers what they want - Australian-made produce and Australian jobs.

Game wardens want hunters to be safe when they hit the woods and fields this fall.
On average eight people die in hunting accidents in Georgia each year.
The Lowndes County game warden hopes an annual hunter safety class this weekend will help reduce that number.
It's also a requirement to get a hunting license.
Game warden Keith McDonald knows the dangers of hunting. He says one common error hunters make is mistaking animals for people.
"Mr. Lovett was misidentified as a turkey."
Billy Joe Lovett was hunting back in April in 2010 in Brooks County and another hunter shot him. He lost an eye.
McDonald says most the most common accident is a fall.
"Most of the accidents occur from falling from a tree stand," said McDonald. "About 78 percent of hunting accidents involve falls."
If you're in the water you should be sure to wear a life jacket.
"We've recovered numerous drowning victims and not one of them was wearing a life jacket," said McDonald.
James Eunice who drowned while duck hunting is the most recent hunting accident in Lowndes County. He fell out of a boat January 15th. His body surfaced more than two weeks later.
"If you're in a boat, you need to wear your life jacket," said McDonald. "Just like if you're in a car or truck you wear your seat belt."
DNR says on average there's about 73 hunting accidents each year.
That's just in Georgia. Across the nation there are hundreds of hunting accidents each year. By taking a hunting safety class, you can learn techniques that may save your life or someone else's. Game Warden Keith McDonald is teaching that hunting safety class Friday night at the Lowndes County Sheriff's office. It's a two day class, starting at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday at 9 a.m.
The class is also offered online.

I chose to take advantage of the Reverse Transfer program because I have always wanted to achieve my Associate's degree. I transferred from Schoolcraft College to UM-Dearborn only a few credits short of earning my Associate's degree. I honestly thought I would never achieve my goal of earning a degree. However, to my surprise, I received a letter in the mail stating I could receive my Associate's degree because of the Transfer Agreement!
I felt so proud to hold that piece of paper in my hands and I am so thankful for this new agreement between the schools. I have a fresh amount of motivation and hope to earn more academic degrees. --Sierra Cano

Retailers focus on zero waste
18 March 2011
Five of the UK's largest retailers – Tesco, J Sainsbury, Wal-Mart (ASDA), Morrisons and Marks and Spencer – are all seeking to obtain zero waste to landfill by 2015 or sooner, a letsrecycle.com survey has found.
This month's letsrecycle.com survey covered the top 10 retailers and found that they are all pursuing a raft of ambitious targets in an effort to improve their corporate social responsibility standing.
These range from zero waste pledges to lightweighting policies to attempts to increase consumer awareness of recycling.
And, while leading retailers have an increased intention of achieving zero waste to landfill, the John Lewis Partnership claims a zero waste to landfill is unobtainable.
The retailer claims that this is due to a "small amount of residual waste" that would remain from contaminated material and energy-from-waste processes.
In the research it emerged that the waste and recycling services of the top 10 retailers in the UK are provided by about 18 firms.
On the contractor side, the survey found a competitive sector, with a total of 18 firms providing waste and recycling services. DS Smith Recycling (formerly Severnside Recycling), Veolia and Biffa emerged as three of main waste and recycling companies serving the retail market.
On the compliance side, Valpak and BatteryBack possess large market shares for batteries and waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). BatteryBack is a compliance scheme created and operated by Veolia and Leeds-based WasteCare.
The list of top 10 retailers is based on information on revenues accumulated from company documents, as well as information for 2008/09 gathered from financial services Deloitte and trade publication Retail Week.
They are, in descending order: Tesco, J Sainsbury, Wal-Mart (Asda), WM Morrisons, Marks & Spencer, Alliance Boots, DSG International, John Lewis Partnership, Co-operative Group and Home Retail Group.
The government's existing onus on tackling retail sector waste mainly been focused on limiting packaging waste, with so-called 'excessive' packaging in supermarkets being identified as a particular bugbear of campaign groups.
This is in addition to initiatives to reduce single-use carrier bags and voluntary agreements such as the Courtauld Commitment, which entered its second phase in January 2011 (see letsrecycle.com story).
Industry experts claim that, in addition, growing consumer pressures to improve environmental performance has also pushed companies into seriously addressing matters such as waste reduction and zero waste to landfill.
Commenting from a contractor stand point, Tim Price, national commercial manager at DS Smith Recycling, said: "We have seen a real difference in terms of presence and focus from the retail and commercial sectors on waste management and sustainability over the past couple of years.
"Although there is a long way to go, some major contributions to act more sustainably have already delivered some impressive results in terms of limiting the impact that the retail industry has on our environment here in the UK, and indeed all over the world."
George Pearce, head of commercial accounts for the retail sector at Biffa, agreed that the increased public attention was forcing retailers to assess their methods. "With the amount of pressure [from customers], we are having to help retailers come up with some innovative waste treatment methods," he said.
One area that has emerged as a key concern for retailers, particularly those operating supermarkets, is food waste. Biffa is currently working closely with J Sainsbury to help the company meet an ambition to treat all its food waste through anaerobic digestion.
"Food waste, for example, is something we increasingly have to look at and Biffa realises that food is becoming quite a big area and it's one area they look at, as there is so many methane emissions involved in biodegradable waste," says Mr Pearce.

Battery compliance
As of February 2010 when the most recent data was made available, Tesco report an annual turnover of £62.5 billion. And, a share-data report published in December 2009 indicated that Tesco possesses a market share of around 30.5% and operates 2,482 stores in the UK.
In waste and recycling, Tesco's primary contractor is DS Smith Recycling (formerly Severnside Recycling) which handles its paper, metals, glass, organic and general waste.
In addition to this Tesco has worked with Doncaster-based PDM Group to generate electricity from leftover meat waste and also has a contract with plastics recycling firm Jayplas to handle some plastics material.
Batteries are handled by BatteryBack – a compliance scheme formed by Veolia Environmental Services and WasteCare.
One key area of focus for the retail giant is packaging reduction, with it having set a packaging weight reduction target by 25% by 2010. However, it has revised this goal in its 2010 Corporate Responsibility Report to attempt to achieve a 10% reduction by the end of 2010. The results of this are expected to be published shortly.
Tesco has also been aware of the impact of its offers on food waste and, in January 2010, made moves to curb its 'Buy One Get One Free' campaign on perishable items (see letsrecycle.com story).
J Sainsbury
The company, more commonly known as Sainsbury's, is placed second amongst the UK's largest retailers with a £21.4 billion for turnover including VAT in March 2010.
J Sainsbury has focused its environmental efforts on food waste. The company has signed food waste treatment deals with both Biffa (see letsrecycle.com story) and PDM Group (see letsrecycle.com story).
The move is intended to help J Sainsbury divert 30,000 tonnes of food waste from landfill each year and coincides with the company's ambition to send all of its food waste to anaerobic digestion - a goal it had hoped to achieve by the end of 2010.
At present, according to its 2010 Corporate Responsibility Report, J Sainsbury recycles 125,000 tonnes of cardboard each year and 8,500 tonnes of plastic film. However, J Sainsbury declined to reveal who held these contracts due to commercial confidentiality. Waste management firm Biffa is understood to handle paper, card, plastic, glass and cans "for a number of Sainsbury's outlets".
Elsewhere, the company highlighted its efforts to tackle WEEE and waste batteries. J Sainsbury said it collected for recycling over 250,000 batteries since February 2010 in conjunction with compliance scheme Valpak, as well as recycling phones and phone chargers with the compliance scheme.
Furthermore, Sainsbury's is one of the first retailers to introduce in-store light bulb recycling facilities through an arrangement with specialist lamp compliance scheme Recolight.
Wal-Mart (Asda)
Owned by American conglomerate Wal-Mart, Asda currently boasts a 17.1% UK market share, however, separate information on its annual turnover was not available as it is included in the overall results for Wal-Mart.
In the UK, Asda claims it has already managed to remove 90% of waste from its store operations and is successfully diverting all of its food waste from landfill. The firm carries out a backhauling process for its waste and set-up recycling facilities in its car parks to aid customers.
At present, the firm holds a cardboard recycling contract with Veolia Environmental Services and it recycled 180,000 tonnes of card and plastic in 2010.
Asda is also a member of the Veolia/WasteCare compliance scheme BatteryBack, which caters for its waste batteries. A spokeswoman for the firm said that "third party specialists" are used to treat other elements of the waste stream and these firms tend to work on a regional basis.
Elsewhere, the company also has a contract with secure shredding specialist PHS for the removal and disposal of sensitive data.
The company is aiming to achieve zero store waste to landfill, as well as zero construction waste to landfill, by 2015 as part of its 2011-2015 environmental plans.
Supermarket chain WM Morrison Supermarkets, or Morrisons, is recognised as the fourth largest retailer in the UK, with an annual turnover in excess of £14 billion. The firm, which is still owned by the Morrison family which set it up, bolstered its portfolio with the purchase of Safeway in 2004.
The company declined to reveal contractual information due to commercial sensitivity. However, it is a member of the BatteryBack battery recycling initiative (see letsrecycle.com story). And, waste management firm Biffa is understood to handle its paper and card.
Morrisons intends to achieve zero waste to landfill direct from stores by 2013. And, the retailer is also aiming to achieve a 10% packaging reduction in the environmental impact of own brand packaging by 2012.
Furthermore, the retailer is said to be on target to increase the proportion of store waste recycled from 72% in 2009 to 80% in 2010.
Marks & Spencer
The upmarket retailer, also known as M&S, has one of the most visible sustainability campaigns in the form of its 'Plan A' environmental initiative. This 180-point ecological and ethical programme is centred on sending zero waste to landfill by 2012.
At the heart of this initiative is a material recycling contract with DS Smith Recycling (formerly Severnside) which it signed in June 2009 (see letsrecycle.com story).
In an update on progress issued in June 2010, M&S reported that the total waste it produced in 2009/10 was 98,000 tonnes, which was down 16% from the figure reported in 2008/09. In addition, waste sent to landfill fell by 33% over the 12 month period – with 46,000 tonnes of material landfilled in 2009/10.
This was set against a marked rise in the amount of material recycled, which rose from 52,000 tonnes for 2009/10 – an 11% increase on the figures for 2008/09. And, in November 2010, M&S reported that it was currently recycling 92% of its operational waste, almost double the amount recycled in 2008/09.
A statement released by the firm said: "Solutions are now being trialled to recycle the remaining 8% of waste, so that M&S can achieve its commitment to send zero waste to landfill by 2012."
Alliance Boots
More commonly known as Boots the Chemist, the high street store has increased its market-share since the merger of the UK-based Boots Group and German Alliance UniChem in 2006. Its overall group turnover reached £22.5 billion in 2009/10, which includes its global operations as well as its UK portfolio.
The company currently lets six waste and recycling contracts to handle waste from its 2,678 UK stores. These are broken into a mixed dry recyclables deal with Veolia, clinical waste handled by PHS, paper and plastic material catered for by Smurfit Kappa, Glass UK handling glass and Linpac – now Regain – also dealing with "some plastics".
Hazardous and residual waste is dealt with by facilities management firm Greenzone. And, over the course of 2009/10, Alliance Boots said it had reduced the amount of material sent to landfill from 46.6% in 2008/09 to 43.1% - a decline of around 2,200 tonnes.
A breakdown of waste and recycling figures for 2009/10 shows that 23,208 tonnes (53%) was recycled, 18,887 tonnes (43.1%) was landfilled and 1,686 tonnes (3.95%) was incinerated.
DSG International
DSG International – which is the firm behind Dixons, PC World and Currys – achieved an £8.415 billion turnover in 2008/09, when the latest annual reports and accounts were made available.
In its 2008/09 annual report and accounts, DSG indicates that the firm intends to limit the impact of packaging waste and had recycled 53% of its total waste – an increase of 13% on the previous year.
It also introduced collection routes for end-of-life electronic items in order to comply with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations.
DSG signed a five-year contract with Peterborough-based environCom in March 2008 in order to process waste electrical items and help facilitate the introduction of its in-store take back scheme (see letsrecycle.com story).
A spokesman for the company confirmed that Biffa handled food and general waste for its 650 stores across the UK.
John Lewis Partnership
The John Lewis Partnership, which operates both John Lewis department stores and Waitrose supermarkets, recorded the seventh highest revenue among UK retailers, with the employee-owned firm achieving a turnover of around £6.7 billion in 2009/10.
The company intends to recycle 75% of operational waste by 2012 and, in 2009/10, saw its recycling rate increase from 43% to 50% across John Lewis stores and 50% to 53% across Waitrose stores. It also began to backhaul waste – particularly polystyrene - in delivery trucks in July 2009.
Interestingly, the firm believes a 'true' zero waste to landfill goal is beyond its reach, due to contaminated material and energy-from-waste processes leaving a fraction of residual waste which can only be landfilled.
In a similar vein to Alliance Boots, the firm has several contracts for its separate waste streams. Smurfit Kappa handles cardboard and some paper, Newcastle-based ECO Plastics caters for mixed plastic material and polystyrene is dealt with by specialist firm Flo Pak in Brackley.
One major area of focus, as outlined in the firm's Corporate Social Responsibility Report for 2010, is food waste and anaerobic digestion. The company currently sends food waste to BiogenGreenfinch at Rushden in Bedfordshire for treatment.
And, John Lewis intends to send food waste from six of its Waitrose stores in the north of England to an anaerobic digestion facility in Doncaster being developed by PDM Group once it is complete.
Home Retail Group
Home Retail Group is most famous for featuring Argos and Homebase among its eight-company portfolio and, according to figures published in February 2009, currently boasts a turnover of £5.897 billion.
The firm declined to reveal its waste collection contractors on grounds of commercial confidentiality. However, in a release on the firm's corporate website indicates an ambition to reduce tonnages by 25% year-on-year in 2010/11 and achieve a group recycling rate of 82% over the same period.
In 2009, the company used the firm CwikSkips for residual waste disposal.
Co-operative Group
The employee-owned group has bolstered its status in recent years with the purchase of supermarket competitor Somerfield. And, in an interim report for 2009, the firm report a turnover of £6.4 billion before insurance premiums.
The Co-operative has taken moves to reduce waste arisings - producing 124,293 tonnes in 2009, down from 146,595 tonnes in 2008 and 152,549 tonnes in 2007. However, the amount of waste reused or recycled has also dropped over this period – falling from 86,662 tonnes in 2008 to 72,349 tonnes in 2009.
This equates to a 7% fall in the company's recycling rate between 2008 and 2009, dropping from 57% to 52% over the course of 12 months.
In its 2009 Sustainability Report, the Co-operative said it would focus its efforts on consolidating its waste management contracts and increasing the amount of cardboard and plastic recycled by its Co-operative Food arm. It recycled 33,448 tonnes of the two materials combined in 2009.
The organisation currently holds waste management contracts with DS Smith Recycling for cardboard, Jayplas for plastics, Biffa for general waste and is a member of the Valpak compliance scheme for its battery waste.
And, the Co-operative investigated organic treatment methods for its animal by-product food waste. However, it found that the low levels of materials it produces mean that in-vessel composting and anaerobic digestion were not viable options at this stage. It has said it will reassess this as technologies develop.

LOS ANGELES (CNS) – The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in Los Angeles County rose by a steep 1.7 cents today to $3.711, the 19th increase in 20 days.
The average price is 4.1 cents more than one week ago and 7.6 cents higher than one month ago but 2.1 cents less than one year ago, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service.
The average price has increased 12.6 cents over the past 20 days, including three-tenths of a cent on Tuesday.
The Orange County average price recorded its largest daily increase since Oct. 7, 2 cents, to $3.692. It is 4.1 cents more than one week ago and 9 cents higher than one month ago but 2.9 cents less than one year ago.
The Orange County average price has risen 21 times in the past 25 days, increasing 13.7 cents over that span.
Today's sharp increases are the result of crucial equipment at the BP refinery in Carson being de-activated for unplanned maintenance and the catalytic cracker at the Chevron refinery in El Segundo being shut down as well, cutting supplies, according to industry analyst Bob van der Valk.
Catalytic cracking is a critical step in turning petroleum into gasoline.

Website Administration Training
Saturday, 9/17/2011 we had a great meeting at the Coffee Bean in Megamall. In addition to Mr. Marc Womack, members of the faculty and the PTA have been tasked with helping to maintain the school's website and this meeting was arranged to train everyone on how to use the website. In attendance were Mr. Womack, Rudy Carmel, Rose Lynn Zara-Coloma, and Administrator Angeloe Macalalad. The session lasted a little over two hours and covered everything from logging into the backend of the site, to updating the content of the pages, to making new posts on the blog , and finally how to update the Facebook Page for the school.
Also discussed in the meeting were plans to transfer ownership of the domain name for the site into the schools name, addition of Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy pages for the site, a circular to be sent out to parents to update their contact information with the school (including email addresses and mobile numbers), and development of a banner to be used at school functions letting parents know images captured at the event may be posted to the website and Facebook page but that they can easily request no pictures of themselves or their children be posted.
Finally, it was decided that we will setup @wefischool.com email addresses for all the faculty of the staff and make these addresses available to parents via a Faculty Page on the website. Teachers will be tasked with checking these emails daily once a full-time internet access solution has been established for the school.

From Lubbock Christian University:
Lubbock Christian University men's basketball head coach Todd Duncan has announced his coaching staff for the 2011-2012 basketball season. Duncan welcomes Jason Imes as his assistant coach and also adds Ron Mayberry and Dee Wilson as volunteer assistant coaches.
Imes joins the Chaps coaching staff after spending the prior 10 seasons at Texas Tech University working for Bob and Pat Knight's staff. Five of the seasons spent at Texas Tech were on the full time staff and most recently as director of video operations. He joined the Red Raiders in 2001 while pursuing a Master of Science in Sport Management and has assisted with all the areas of the day-to-day operations.
The Portage, Indiana native graduated from Indiana University in 2001 with a B.S. in Secondary Education. During his time at Indiana, he served as a student manager from 1998-2000 on the Hoosier's staff overseen by Bob Knight. In 2003, Imes became Tech's assistant video coordinator. He conducted the position for three seasons, and also served as assistant PE instructor at Harwell Elementary for the 2005-2006 season. Imes had been serving as the director of video operations since the 2008-2009 season. He also assisted in coordinating team travel and directed the Pat Knight Summer Basketball Camps.
Mayberry is a 2007 WJCAC Hall of Fame inductee after posting 386 victories at the junior college level. He began his coaching career at the high school level in 1962 and had his first head coaching position at the collegiate level in 1977 at Odessa College. After four winning seasons and a trio of NCJAA regional appearance, Mayberry went to Wayland Baptist University and served as head coach and athletic director for the Pioneers for three seasons. He went to South Plains College in 1985 and combined for a 204-58 record over eight seasons. His 1991 team was ranked No.2 throughout the season, and his 1992 finished fifth at the NJCAA national tournament. His final season coaching collegiately came in 2000-2001 at Howard College.
In 44 years as a basketball coach, Mayberry never had a losing record at any school he coached (16 schools). With over 800 wins over his career, he coached teams into the playoffs for 19 straight years and was named Coach of the Year 11 times, including National Coach of the Year once. The former Texas Christian University star coached in three different Texas All-Star games and coached and recruited 11 players that made it to the NBA. Mayberry most recently served as the athletics director at All-Saints Episcopal in Lubbock.
Wilson is a former 2001 All-Sooner Athletic Conference member while with the Chaparrals. This will be his second season serving as a volunteer assistant after spending last season on staff. A Lubbock native, Wilson spent two seasons playing for the Chaps after transferring from Frank Phillips College. He came to LCU in 1999-2000 and claimed First Team All-SAC Tournament honors in 2000. Wilson graduated from Monterey High School and was the 1997 Caprock Tournament Most Valuable Player. He also claimed a spot on the All-South Plains Team by the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal.
This staff is the first to serve under Todd Duncan, who is preparing for his first season at the helm of the Chaparrals and the first at the collegiate level. Duncan, who has a solid coaching background from coaching Trinity Christian High School, takes over for John Copeland, who spent 31 seasons coaching the Chaparrals.

Saturday, 7 pm Central, Stevenson High School (featuring Jalen Brunson) vs. Marian Catholic (featuring Tyler Ulis). The game will be televised on High School Cube, which, if you're not aware, is a network of school related programming (mostly sports) that is shown on the internet. I realize this game is going to coincide with the rivalry game that occurs in the Breslin, but you can view games on HS cube easily after they're finished. I don't have the exact link, but if you go to high school cube and search for Stevenson High School in Lincolnshire, IL you'll find it.
I was at the Stevenson game tonight. A snoozer against a seriously overmatched conference team. Saturday's game will be nothing like tonight's game. Brunson amazed me with many passes which were hard to imagine. His one on one game is deadly and his shooting touch is the real deal. Even with Nairn coming, I can't see how Izzo would not be all over Brunson. If you get a chance, I think it'll be worth the view.

As I'm sure most of you have already read / heard, there was apparently a little disagreement between our prized free agent acquisition, Andre Miller, and head coach Nate McMillan at this morning's practice. I've already recieved many tweets regarding this subject, especially from The Columbian's Brian T. Smith (if you're not reading his stuff, you're missing out). Here is my take on today's "event".
I decided to write this fanpost to urge our fan base not to over-react and run Andre out of town. I don't believe this is another Darius Miles situation. The Blazers are a much different team in a much different situation than they were back then. With mounting injuries and dashed expectations, it almost makes sense that this confrontation went down the way it did. Especially coming from Andre.
Andre Miller is and always has been a leader. When he decided to come to Portland it must have been a no-brainer: one of the most talented young teams in the league desperately needed a veteran, starting point guard. Seems like it should've been the perfect scenario. Obviously, it has not been. Andre has been picked on by our media and local fans from the get-go. It is not suprising to me that he is completely frustrated. He's doing everything you could ask for - posting up, rebounding, playing scrappy defense. We've got seven healthy players available and Andre-freakin' Miller is riding pine in the fourth quarter while we give up a lead he scratched and scraped to get us during the first three quarters. I'd be pretty pissed too.
I believe this morning's "tirade" has everything to do with the fact that Miller was on the bench until it was too late during Memphis' 13-1 run to end the last game. A tough, tough loss. I also believe there is more than one player on our roster that could have easily blown up and said something similar. At least we are seeing some fire from someone besides Jeff Pendergraph. Normally, I'd be completely against relaying information the way Andre did today, but I'm not going to stand on a pedestal and blame him for anything other than not being afraid to tell it like it is.
I hope this blows over as a frustrated player in a frustrating situation who used bad judgement in relaying something that needed to be said. I hope we do not trade him. I hope he does not become the villain. Portland already has a few things working against it when it comes to being a destination for good players and free agents. First, it's a small market. Then, there is the weather. The last thing we need is to become known as an organization where player's reputations come to die.

Table games have been open at Twin River for about three weeks, and the casino boss said Thursday the new attractions are drawing well.
"It's going a little bit better than actually than we thought it was going to go. The numbers are coming in more favorably than we thought they would," Twin River Chairman John Taylor said.
Taylor would not get into specific numbers as they have not yet been run through the state Lottery Commission.
"Probably better to report first then kind of break numbers now. But it's kind of meeting and just exceeding our expectations," Taylor said.
Taylor spoke to NBC 10 at an invitation-only party for about 2,000 people to celebrate the opening of table games at Twin River. The bash included live music, a Clydesdale horse, and a number of celebrities, including Todd Bridges who played Willis on "Diff'rent Strokes" and Dustin Diamond who played Screech on "Saved by the Bell."
"It gives us an opportunity to introduce the property to a younger demographic, maybe people who haven't been here before," Taylor said.
The state gets 18 percent of the cut from the table games. That figure was originally projected to be more than $6 million a year.
