A state commission is appealing a judge's ruling that allows a higher limits on campaign contributions to take effect.
The Arizona Capitol Times reports that the Court of Appeals scheduled Oct. 9 oral arguments on the appeal filed by the Arizona Citizens Clean Elections Commission.
The commission oversees Arizona's public campaign financing system and it contends that the new law allowing bigger contributions violates a constitutional protection for voter-approved laws.
Judge Mark Brain of Maricopa County Superior Court last week ruled otherwise and he denied the commission's request for a preliminary injunction to bar implementation of the higher limits.
The law took effect Sept. 13.

Re: Best Over the Counter Allergy Medicine ????
on: May 08, 2007, 07:21:29 AM
Try the Claritin-D 24 hour... it seems to work best in my experience. Just make sure to get the one that they hold behind the counter, not the one they put on the shelves. It is still non-prescription, but not allowed to be on the aisles. Look for it to have Pseudoephedrine as its main active ingredient.

Re: Just exactly who are these IFBB "Board members"?
on: September 27, 2006, 07:12:41 AM
nor is there an IFBB 'athletes only' website where they can communicate about it. So, anything brought to light here on GetBig ends up being shouted down my naysayers or diluted with fluff by the fluffers.
An IFBB Athletes only website/ forum would be a great tool for the Pros to be able to discuss things that directly effect themselves and the IFBB. That is precisely why there isn't one. It could be the first step to unionization of the members. The IFBB would rather have the disconnect because it makes it easier for them to run things the way they want without interference. It is wrong that issues get brought up only once a year and are submitted for approval to a board that is looking out for the IFBB and not the membership, but they get away with it because they are the only game in town.
Quote from: Max_Rep
This isn't so much a vote "for" Wayne, as it is a vote against IFBB monopoly and autocratic control of the sport. See the bigger picture.
I could really care less about who is behind the PDI, just that there is someone trying to give people a second option and put a bit of pressure on the IFBB to make changes in the way it is run to better the entire industry.
Most of the spotlight right now is on The IFBB and Lee Priest, but it is really the industry as a whole that needs to be reworked. There are similar examples in other federations like the WNBF (World Natural Bodybuilding Federation). Dave Goodin, the top money winner in WNBF history, has been suspended for 3 years because he did an interview in Ironman Magazine. It was a great article and was good exposure for everyone involved, but the WNBF has a rule against their athletes appearing in magazines other than the ones that they own. They also offer no compensation for this exclusivity, in fact the athletes PAY the WNBF to be a member of their organization (much like the IFBB).
Things need to change, hopefully Lee Priest, Dave Goodin, and the PDI will be the catalyst needed to bring about a better bodybuilding industry.

Re: Extra 50K - What do you guys think?
on: May 05, 2006, 07:44:45 AM
What a great thread.
Quote from: Ron
Radio show. Hmm.. a radio show that people can listen to and haer these guys talk... wow. Is there something like that Bob? Dan? Lets make one, and get these guys to go on, one by one, in an hourly format Wink
I like the show, but it is being marketed to people already interested in the sport. If you want interest in the sport to grow, the trick is to get exposure in places without a pre-existing fanbase (advertising 101). If they secured a spot on broadcast radio, or were linked off of sites other than bodybuilding related portals then it would be different. (I know that is easier said than done, but it does not make it untrue).
Why does the IFBB not push for more exposure? It seems to me that they just have the ship on cruise control. I live in L.A. and for the Olympia, the only coverage I saw was in BB mags and a 2 minute pony show with Gunter ,Mustaffa, and the weatherman on the morning news station. He spent more time trying to pronounce their names than they did talking about the Olympia. There are entire channels now devoted to fitness, yet I don't see any IFBB advertisements on there even. People don't order Pay-Per-View for things they aren't already interested in beforehand, but they will spend an hour watching just about any crap on regular t.v.
I am glad the PDI is going to try to make a go of things, if only for the fact that it might wake up the IFBB. They don't try to get new fans and they run off existing fans with sub-par productions.

Re: EXTRA $50K WHAT DO YOU FANS THINK.
on: May 02, 2006, 03:52:32 PM
Well at least they trashed the stupid challenge round.
This new idea is really just asking for more problems though. Judging it off of crowd applause would be a disaster. It would be easy when you get Big Ron up against Kris Dim, but get Ron against Jay, or Gunter against Gustavo and it will be simply a judgement call by someone on stage. The only way this would work is to equip each seat with some sort of electronic voting device but to do that you would use up the extra $50k in equipment rental. Just use the $50k to sweeten the prize money for the lower placings, or use it to get a better production together.
As for IFBB not letting pros that compete in the PDI events compete in IFBB events, that is really a bunch of crap. Chick, you should be concentrating more on this issue that the fluffball challenge round crap. The IFBB doesn't own the rights to the pros, they just sanction events. If they want exclusivity, then they need to put the pros under a season contract and pay them for it (like the NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB do).

Re: Question for Bob: Was proposal to have MORE COMPARISONS accepted?
on: February 23, 2006, 08:20:17 AM
The judges need to remember that not everyone goes to the prejudging. Even though they have already seen some comparisons, the people that paid to be there haven't. I don't understand why this needs to take the form of a proposal, it should just be implemented immediately. It wouldn't really drag the show out too much longer and would be something the fans would actually enjoy watching.
The way the judges run these things now, they could hardly be called contests. It is more like " here are the people who entered, here is your winner, give me my check I have a party to get to".

Re: Melvin Anthony 2 Weeks out ASC 2006
on: February 22, 2006, 03:59:44 PM
The pictures don't really do Melvin justice. I was at the Ironman and saw him pose earlier in the evening before he got on stage. He is really pretty dry for being 2 weeks out and looked like he packed on some really solid muscle. If he dials it in just a bit more, he will definately be a threat at the ASC. Best of luck Melvin!

The whole collapse was caught on camera. On the video, you can see the lattice of the crane buckling near the operator's cabin, causing it to tip over. Witnesses say the crane became tangled while putting up new power lines.
The equipment in owned by Axis Crane in Sherwood. Luckily, no one was injured in the collapse.

Former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski and his manager, Leo Khorlinsky, were all set to make a big announcement last night live streaming video on "The Pitbull's" Web site.
It never happened. Instead, the pair could only announce what would have been.
Arlovski was offered to fight Alistair Overeem at Dynamite 09 on New Year's Eve in Japan. The Belarusian verbally agreed and even received the bout agreement, which he was in the midst of completing. In fact, Arlovski and Khorlinsky informed their families and friends that they would not be around for the holidays.
That is, of course, until the Japanese-based promoters announced that Kazuyuki Fujita, not Arlovski, will take on the "Demolition Man" at the year-end event.
From the baffled Khorlinsky:
"I was on the phone with them earlier tonight and did not get an explanation that made sense."
Arlovski revealed that he had been training for Overeem, paying special attention to not getting caught in what he says is a dangerous guillotine from the Strikeforce heavyweight champion.
Unfortunately, it never came to be ... and we may never know the real reason behind the last-minute switch.
Did Overeem think Arlovski was too dangerous and ducked him? Did Japan not want to risk one of its stars losing to a formed champion in the United States?
We can only guess at this point. Care to share your conspiracy theories?

10 year old Yemeni girl smiling after she was granted a divorce from her husband- a 30 year old man
Here's what I found after looking into it.
Nujood Ali was nine when her parents arranged a marriage to Faez Ali Thamer, a man in his thirties. Regularly beaten by her in-laws and raped by her husband, Ali escaped on April 2, 2008, two months after the wedding.
On the advice of her father's second wife, she went directly to court to seek a divorce. After waiting for half a day, she was noticed by a judge, Mohammed al-għadha who gave her refuge. He had both her father and husband taken into custody.
Indeed, publicity surrounding Ali's case is said to have inspired efforts to annul other child marriages, including that of an 8 year old Saudi girl who was allowed to divorce a middle-aged man in 2009.
But in 2013 Ali reported to the media that her father had forced her out of their home and is withholding her money granted by publishers. Her father has also arranged a marriage for her younger sister, Haifa.
Also this girl has her own book
I just want some feminists to focus more on this than on defending Zoe Quinn and Anita Sarkeesian.
Realistically, what can they do? Most of the feminists that you likely encounter are based in USA, Canada, maybe UK. What can they do to affect attitudes and policies in a place like Yemen?
They can raise awareness. Tumblr is a global site where you can donate to people in many countries to aid them.
A very good thing they can do, for one, is set up donations for this kid or other kids. They can put efforts to start up shelters for such incidents.
There's a lot of things western feminists can do. This post only has almost 9k posts, whereas a post about male tears has 36K.

Steel in the News
Back to all posts
Posted by MSC on December 3, 2008 at 4:59 PM.
It is with deepest sadness that I report that our good friend and colleague Bill Liddy passed away on October 29. Bill was a proud representative of the steel industry for more than half a century. Working for American Bridge and U.S. Steel in his early professional years, after graduating from college in the early 1950s, he remained as an ambassador for steel construction until his passing. Bill culminated his long career in the steel industry working for AISC. He formally retired in the spring of 2007 and was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2007 NASCC at the time of his retirement. He was also recently honored for his long service to the steel industry by the AISC Board of Directors.
Bill's constant smile and friendly disposition made him a friend of multitudes associated with the steel, design, and construction industries, as well as those he met in his personal life. Those of us that have known and worked with Bill for many of those 50-plus years, as well as those that had the opportunity to work with him for only a few months, shared the feeling that Bill was a true friend. – Kurt Gustafson

God bless you michael | Reviewer: rhoda shaibu | 5/11/09
i luv your songs and they make me cry especially the will you be there lyrics cos they touch the heart. even a heart as hard as stone will be touched by this song. when i look around me i see many things being done the wrong way and when i think of it all i feel like crying. michael jackson, i love you for your songs, for who you are and no matter what i will never judge or condemn you. i love you. God bless you and please michael don't stop preaching peace to the world.
a tear jerking song in a superwide vocal range | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/8/09
OMG! I guess this is MJ's song where he's lovely voice sung from lower notes (Hold me like the river Jordan..) to his breath taking highest notes (I'll feel blessed...)in his full vocal range (no falsetto). The back up choral vocals add power to the song. I found myself crying when I first heard the song, it makes me remind of my high school friends whom I dearly miss. It is until now, regular on my i-pod! MJ never proclaimed himself the King of Pop, but his indeed, and no doubt, the King of Pop. Not even Justin Timberlake, Usher, Chris Brown or Ne-yo can grab or inherit his throne. Watching MJ singing and dancing (like in his Dangerous Tour singing "Will You Be There")is just like you see God singing and dancing with angels. Long live Michael!
that is awesome | Reviewer: Samuel Arbuah | 1/15/09
What a maaaaaaaaaan!! people mistakenly judge you Micheal, please forgive them because they do not know what they are doing. People like your type are very few in this world. keep up the fire burning........ we will surely be ther for you, Peace to the world

No matter how much crap people give Michael, i love him, he is one of the best singer's ever and this song is amazing and it's stupid that one thing can make people forget that. I'm not even part of that generation, my mom was and I like him more than she does. sad. LOVE YOU MICHAEL!
what can be better than this? | Reviewer: sara | 10/7/07
i always wonder that how can mike putforth his emotions soooo perfectly & effortlessly, that goes straight to anyone's heart? he writes so gracefully, simple like ABC. dats y he is different frm any other artist. he is always TRUE to himself. he is d real KOP. YOU ROCK MIKE....LOV U
sweet comes after sweat | Reviewer: ManuelAndrade | 8/23/07

The Mosquito has landed!
What's this all about?
Mosquito Helicopters is the outcome of 20 years of research and development done by John Uptigrove, the now famous Canadian Engineer and Dwight Junkin, the creative composite genius.
The Mosquito's inovatively simple design make helicopter flight accessible to pilots or future pilots without the deep corporate pockets traditionally required for this truly amazing form of flight.
Mosquito Australia proudly makes the Mosquito range of helicopters available right here in Australia!
Currently the XE is available for viewing and demonstration with more models to follow.
We are located just outside of Koo Wee Rup, 65km SE of Melbourne CBD.
What do we provide?
Kits are available either in stages or as a complete kit(less paint and radio).
Build assistance, either full time or part time.
Spares and support for all models.
Training is also available for those low-time or no-time pilots looking to own their first Mosquito.
News: Professionally made wiring harnesses are now available for the XE and the XEL kits.
Due to popular demand I have now included a mobile number for contact below.

Taiwanese Animators Analyze Dueling Controversial Magazine Covers
The hard copy periodical industry is dying and about the only way they can boost sales is with incredibly controversial magazine covers. We saw a good example of this during the past week with Time featuring a mother breast feeding her son on the cover versus Newsweek declaring Obama, wearing a rainbow halo, as "The First Gay President." Have these magazines gone too far in their desperation for sales? This situation is analyzed in an incredibly humorous manner by the notorious Taiwanese animators who have developed quite a cult following with their funny take on the news.
They have produced an hilarious animation video about this situation called "Time vs Newsweek: provocative covers stir controversy." You can see the video below the fold but please be warned that it is somewhat risque. Oh, and another warning, the video is so burst out laughing funny that you risk soaking your computer monitor if you happen to be drinking coffee so please put your mug down before viewing.
Here is an analysis of this controversy from the Taiwanese animators:
Last week Time magazine's cover brought the breastfeeding and attachment parenting debate into the national spotlight. This week it was Newsweek's turn to stir up controversy, with its cover on the First Gay President.
Time magazine not only brought attention to the attachment parenting movement, it also inspired conversation on using provocative images and copy to revive the ailing print industry. Many critics are calling this issue a "stroke of genius" and "an example of print well done," including magazine expert Samir Husni.
Newsweek came out with its controversial copy and image combo just a few days later, with similar results. The cover featured a tight shot of President Obama with a rainbow-colored halo above his head.
Newsweek discussed Obama's "evolution" when it came to his support of same-sex marriage. It also raised the question of whether or not controversy overpowers quality.
Actually my only question is WHO are those two incredibly cute young Taiwanese women at the end of the video?

As if the Time cover wasn't bad enough as sexual abuse of minor, then the ludicrous photo-shopped Obama thing. Folks, we are the laughing stock of the world, oh sorry, the world is way ahead of us in that respect.
We get to vote on the homosexual "marriage" issue this fall. I am praying that this unique referendum gets the same 61-39% treatment as NC gave it.
Time for a national look at the "personhood" issue too. SCOTUS never should have adjudicated Roe/Wade to begin with.

At first I just assumed that that Time simply photoshopped their crudity, but your question forced me to think again. While yukking – OK, the pun is intended – it up they probably photographed their cover just the way you see it, knowing Time's insatiable vulgarity.

Jay-Z Lyrics
In his debut album "Reasonable Doubt," released in 1996, he rapped: "Too manny faggot niggas clocking my spending" in the song "22 Two's."
His second album,
"Vol. 2… Hard Knock Life," brought us the gem of a song "Nigga What, Nigga Who (Originator '99)" where he says that when "faggots wanna talk to Po-Po's," he would "smoke em like cocoa."
Either Jay-Z does not want gays talking to the police, or he believes anyone talking to law enforcement must be homosexual.
In the song "Gangsta Shit," he leans toward the latter possibility: "His little faggot in the corner calling 911."
Here are some other notable lyrics from Jay-Z's discography:
•"What you gay? Nigga Jay straight like Indian hair" – From "2 Many Hoes"
•"And since you infatuated with sayin' tha gay shit" – From "Super Ugly"
•"Had niggas mad for real like 'I wish he was gay'"- From "Hey Papi"
•"Hate a nigga like that faggot, get your own"- From "Lucky Me"
•"That's gay, I ain't into liking dudes no way"- From "La La La (Excuse Me Again)"

It's been twenty-two years since Canadians have had a domestic soccer league to call their own. In 1992, the semi-professional Canadian Soccer League folded after only six seasons. Since then, the Canadian soccer landscape has been dotted with mostly short-lived teams trying to make their way as part of dodgy American leagues. Yesterday, news broke on Canadian Soccer News that the long winter of domestic soccer in this country may finally be drawing to a close.
The report, somewhat limited in details, says that the Canadian Soccer Association is in talks with the Canadian Football League and the North American Soccer League (current home of FC Edmonton and the Ottawa Fury) to bring domestic soccer to Canada as early as 2016.
If accurate, this could be the most important moment in Canadian soccer since the men's national team qualified for the '86 World Cup. Canada is one of an incredibly small number of countries to have qualified for a World Cup without a domestic league, and a Canadian league is seen by many as an important step towards getting back to that stage. The establishment of a stable league would be a massive coup for the oft-maligned CSA.
The viability of a Canadian league is certainly not a given. Historically low soccer attendance figures in many major markets, combined with the huge distances teams necessarily need to travel in this country, make the financial prospects far from rosy. That's why it's encouraging to hear that the CSA may be enlisting the aid of the CFL.
The report says that the league will initially comprise seven teams, each associated to a CFL team. A CFL partnership makes sense for a few reasons. First, if anyone knows how to run a nationwide league without going broke, it's these guys. Second, having respected institutions like CFL teams (well, CFL teams not nicknamed Argonauts) using their marketing muscle to support a fledgling league would be just what the doctor ordered. Third, there is the very real possibility that they can bring TSN — a network that almost single-handedly saved the CFL in the not-too-distant past — along for the ride.
TSN is in an odd place right now, having recently announced that they're expanding their channel lineup while also being outbid for National Hockey League rights by Rogers Sportsnet. They already have easily the best soccer production crew in the country, so it makes some sense that they might look to the most popular game on the planet to give their subscribers something to watch.
If I have one major concern about the report, it's the tidbit that teams will be playing in CFL venues. This seems like an awful idea at first glance. Even the smaller stadia like Ottawa's TD Place Stadium and Hamilton's not-yet-completed Tim Horton's Field seat upwards of 20,000 people, when division two soccer in this country has always hovered around 3,000-5,000. The biggest task for the league will be to find a way to get attendance high enough that the atmosphere doesn't suffer.

Detroit Lions fans react to the firing of Head Coach Jim Schwartz
DETROIT (WXYZ) - It was hard to find anyone who did not have an opinion on coach Schwartz's departure. Fans seem to be split. Some Lions fans expected the move to happen.
"I think it's blessing in disguise," said Andy Kash. "Jim Schwartz has been a coach here for a while. Just haven't had any winning seasons. So I think it's blessing in disguise for Detroit."
"I think it's just the nature of the business," said Sam Bills. "I like Coach Schwartz but you can't fall that short at the end of the year and expect to remain. It's unfortunate but we got to move on."
Other fans were caught of guard.
"That's shocking," said Joe Curtis. "I feel like he's made a lot of progress in the time that he was coach. So I don't know. Maybe it is time for a change… maybe it's not. I don't know."
"It's not all his fault," said Harley Roop. "They played as good as they could at the beginning of the season. It's just like hockey or whatever… just the way the ball falls."
Many Lions fans told 7 Action News the change makes them optimistic about next season.
"It's time for some change," said Carlene Bills. "I kind of thought they would get rid of Statfford and a couple of folks in the front office but they are going in the right direction. They are making change."

Yuma, AZ July 6 -- Many AEA Federal Credit Union members have called KSWT News 13 asking for the credit union's latest financial reports. They are no longer available on AEA's website. KSWT News 13 investigated and found them on the National Credit Union Administration website. You can access them by clicking here.
Yuma, AZ July 1 -- Rumors have been swirling for weeks about the AEA Federal Credit Union. Many of customers and employees of AEA have called our newsroom with concerns. CEO Denise McGregor spoke with KSWT News 13 off-camera Thursday.
She said the FBI is conducting an investigation that involves AEA, but she says she can not elaborate on the details of the investigation. (The following day, via email, Sweet-McGregor said she never confirmed the FBI investigation.)
In the same phone conversation on Thursday, McGregor also said the credit union's board of directors are still running the AEA. She said they have not been taken over by another entity.
In a release she sent to KSWT, Board Chairman Ray Drysdales says the credit union has a plan to strengthen the credit union's financial foundation. "Our Board of Directors and executive management team already have implemented a plan that will refocus fiscal and human resources to best serve members and strengthen the Credit Union's financial foundation."
The release also mentions recent layoffs and the closure of the North End location.
When asked if the members money is safe McGregor says they have nothing to worry about. She says deposits are federally insured up to 250-thousand dollars.

Sweet-McGregor will not agree to an on-camera interview with KSWT News 13.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
First things first: Just because Jason Wu is citing a Japan inspiration this season, that doesn't mean his Spring 2009 collection, which he's showing tomorrow, is composed of a bunch of, well, you know. "People hear 'Japan' and immediately think 'kimonos,' " Wu sighs. "Speaking as someone who's Asian, that's totally the most obvious reference. Haven't you at least seen pictures of Tokyo? There is so much going on there, so many things to be inspired by. Samurais and geishas were a long time ago." Wu's trip this summer to the Japanese capital gave him a fresh perspective on the city, which he's visited many times, and he's distilled its neon-lit night into a palette packed with punchy colors. More than that, Tokyo's sensory density inspired the CFDA/Vogue finalist to pack an extraordinary amount of detail into his new clothes—one dress, he says, features at least 3,000 French knots, plus embroidery. "This has been such a breakthrough year for me, both in terms of the attention I've received and in terms of the ways I've broadened the horizons of my line. This is the first collection I've done that feels balanced day-to-night. I'm taking ideas from evening dresses and finding ways to translate them into outerwear, suiting, knits." But no kimonos. Ever.

Guerrero is a horrible AD for the many reasons listed in this blog, but for me, Guerrero is just a byproduct of the culture at Ucla when it comes to athletics. Things have been done a certain way for half a century and things will continue to be done that way no matter what.
It's kind of like Ucla is the old PAC 10 and Dan Guerrero is Tom Hansen. Hansen would not change the way he did things. He refused to unlock the value of the conference because he thought it was in bad taste. When Larry Scott came in, he not only brought new ideas, he rebootedthe organizationand it's way of thinking.
Ucla needs a reboot in its athletic department. It goes deeper than Guerrero. We need to change the entire organization and bring it into the 21st century. The entire place needs to be tented and a new team needs to be brought in.
Yes, fire Guerrero. But also fire Field and all of the other Donahue leftovers from an era that is long gone.
Hiring a guy because you "hope" he will be like Cheaty is not a strategy. It is closer to a last ditch effort to grab at straws hoping against all hope that everyone in the entire world is wrong about him. That is no way to operate a modern athletic department.
Morgan Center has turned into Grey Gardens. There are hoarders locked inside with piles of garbage. We need professional help.

...every utterance of "awkward" and "unorthodox."
...every utterance of "impose his/your will."
Finish your drink...
...if Joe calls Randy his hero.
...if Randy submits Nogueira.
...if Nogueira knocks out Randy.
...if Fedor gets his named dropped.

In analyzing organizations of people there is something called
Playing The Find The Fox Game.
It is essentially meeting people within an org chart and even if they don't have the title associated with their name they are in a position of power, authority and are the one to rely on for key decision making. With homebuyers in looking at a couple MOST often the find the fox defaults to the wife as signing off on the house, but be careful NOT ALWAYS. Sometimes it can be tilted slightly over to the husband especially with affordability and budget.
Young people often their parents or grandparents have HUGE influence over 'WHAT IS ALLOWED TO BE BOUGHT'. Sound out all the parties on the purchase side and you will figure it out. Most often the woman is the "DECIDER" and the role of the influential decisionmaking fox but BE SURE. You need to work very close with this person in this role to make things happen. The obvious ones are not always so obvious when it comes to who has the power.

Charles Dirnbauer of Sturgis claimed his $90,000 Hot Lotto prize from the August 17 drawing. Dirnbauer matched five of five white ball numbers but missed the Hot Ball to win the game's $30,000 second prize but because he purchased the Sizzler option for an additional dollar, his prize was tripled to $90,000.
Dirnbauer chose his own numbers when he purchased his winning ticket at BJ's Country Store on Lazelle in Sturgis but says he hadn't originally intended to get the multiplier feature.
"I've only played Sizzler a couple of times on Hot Lotto and I wasn't planning to this time but there was a mark on the play slip so that's how the ticket came out. Thank god it was on there," Dirnbauer said.
BJ's is one of two places Dirnbauer usually buys his Hot Lotto tickets; the store will get a $3,000 bonus for the sale. Dirnbauer learned he was a winner when he checked his numbers on the Lottery website and though he hasn't been a big winner for long, he's already got some plans for his winnings.
"I just bought a brand new motorcycle so now I can pay it off. And I'll pay some bills, put the rest in savings," he said.
Dirnbauer's Hot Lotto ticket wasn't the only big winner from the August 17 drawing. A ticket sold in Piedmont matched four of five numbers and the Hot Ball to win the game's $3,000 third prize. That ticket holder also purchased the Sizzler option, tripling their prize to $9,000. That winning ticket was sold at Elk Creek Valley Market on Hwy 79 in Piedmont.
Hot Lotto is played in 15 states and the District of Columbia. The jackpot currently sits at $1.2 million for the next drawing on Wednesday, August 21, 2013.
(Orginal Story)
A Hot Lotto ticket worth $90,000 was sold in Sturgis and another Hot Lotto ticket worth $9,000 was sold in Piedmont for the August 17, 2013 drawing. Winning numbers are 7, 17, 27, 37, 39 and the Hot Ball is 9.
One lucky ticket holder matched five of five white ball numbers but missed the Hot Ball to pick up the game's $30,000 second prize. The other lucky player matched four of five white ball numbers and the Hot Ball to win Hot Lotto's $3,000 third prize. In both cases, the individuals purchased the Sizzler option for an additional dollar and tripled their prizes. The odds of winning $30,000 playing Hot Lotto are 1:1,619,158 while the odds of winning $3,000 in the game are 1:138,785.
Both winners are advised to sign the back of their tickets immediately and put them in a safe place before contacting the Rapid City Lottery office at 605-394-5106 or the Pierre Lottery office at 605-773-5770. Winners have 180 days to claim their prize.
Hot Lotto is played in the District of Columbia, Delaware, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont and West Virginia. The jackpot currently sits at $1.2 million for the next drawing on Wednesday, August 21, 2013.

When the casual observer first glances at the bracket sheet of 64 names for the WGC-Accenture Match Play, the eyes immediately scan for Tiger Woods -- the game's global force. After falling all the way to a No. 5 seed last year, Woods can be found back on the one line and looming over the Gary Player Bracket.
Tiger enters the week as the No. 2 player in the world, a No. 1 seed seemingly locked up before the 2013 season even started. But he now enters this WGC event a perfect one-for-one on the PGA Tour this year after a dominating run-away win at Torrey Pines last month. Tiger has won this event three times, but has either been unable to play or not advanced very far since his last win in 2008. In the match play format, a bit of the intimidation that clinched Woods victories on the first tee a decade ago is now gone, but the win at Torrey certainly has the field on notice.
Woods will undoubtedly be the favorite in the Player Bracket (and the overall bracket), but there are definitely some world-class players who can challenge him before the weekend at Dove Mountain. Here's what Woods is facing in his portion, with some predictions for this quadrant following:
Player Bracket -- Best 1st Round Match
No. 6 Hunter Mahan vs. No. 11 Matteo Manassero (11:35 a.m. ET Weds.) -- Manassero is still a teenager (turning 20 in April) yet amazingly this is his fourth appearance at the WGC-Match Play event. He's been considered the next big thing in European golf for almost five years now, picking up a Euro Tour win in each of the last three years. The novelty of the adolescent Italian hanging with the best in the world has worn off, but he's as steady as ever and capable of making a deep run.
Unfortunately for Manassero, he runs into Hunter Mahan in the opening round. Mahan is coming off a solid Sunday at Riviera, and is the defending champion at this event. Aside from Tiger's debut, this is the most compelling matchup of this bracket on the first day.
Player Bracket Underdog -- Richard Sterne
With nearly all of the top 64 players in the world in attendance, it's hard to say anyone is an underdog but I'll define that as a No. 9 seed or higher for this exercise. Sterne enters the week in form, playing extremely well on the Euro Tour and earning a bid into the bracket over the past month. His two-week stretch at Dubai and the Joburg Open was as good a string as you'll see all season, as he made just one bogey all week to easily win the Joburg. That streak makes Sterne dangerous to pull off a couple upsets and play late into the week.
Player Bracket Darkhorse -- Mahan
Again, it's pretty hard to call the defending champion a darkhorse, but I'm defining that here as a five seed or higher. Mahan has been on the first page of the leaderboard throughout the first month of the season, and I imagine he'll be the top competition for Tiger in this quadrant.
1st Round Player Bracket Predictions
Woods def. Howell III
Molinari def. Fernandez-Castano
Simpson def. Lynn
Bjorn def. Hanson
Westwood def. Cabrera-Bello
Kaymer def. Coetzee
Sterne def. Dufner
Mahan def. Manassero
2nd Round Player Bracket Predictions
Woods def. Molinari
Simpson def. Bjorn
Westwood def. Kaymer
Mahan def. Sterne
3rd Round Player Bracket Predictions
Woods def. Simpson
Mahan def. Westwood
Player Bracket Winner
Tiger Woods def. Hunter Mahan
Overall Bracket Final 4
Tiger Woods (Gary Player Bracket)
Charl Schwartzel (Bobby Jones Bracket)
Justin Rose (Ben Hogan Bracket)
Ian Poulter (Sam Snead Bracket)
2013 WGC Match Play winner
Justin Rose -- The Englishman continued his impressive play this season with two strong showings in the Middle East to start 2013. Rose picked up his fourth career PGA Tour win at a WGC event last year, and I think he'll be the toughest out in the bracket this year. It's hard to compare the Ryder Cup stakes to the match play format of this event, but Rose has repeatedly proven he can win any game against any opponent. He's a trendy pick to win his first career major this year, and I think that potentially big season starts with a win in Arizona on Sunday.

Norovirus found on earlier cruise ship voyage
In a letter given to passengers when they boarded the P&O cruise liner Oriana ten days ago, the medical team admits that some passengers on a previous sailing had suffered from norovirus symptoms.
The company arranged for the liner to undergo an "extensive disinfection" while she was in Southampton. Some 300 passengers contracted norovirus during their trip.

La Vie – Switchfoot meets The Fray
Producer Andrew Dixon, most commonly known for producing artists like Colbie Caillat and Augustana, brings you the soft folk-rock sounds of the Los Angeles band La Vie. The debut of its self-titled album brings the sounds of heavy folk roots along with a mixture alternative rock to form relaxing melodies.
La Vie has been performing hits from its self-titled album all across California and the UK. It was also featured as the Indie Spotlight on the front page of YouTube recently. La Vie offers a unique and natural sound to the KSLC mix of alternative music.
The four-man band including lead vocal Adam Roth, guitarist Trevor Conner, drummer Bill Delia and bassist Ryan Williams write music together, embracing the sounds of artists such as The Stanley Brothers and The Carter Family. The sound is a mixture of Switchfoot and The Fray, as it portrays this alternative soft sound of a good-hearted band.
Unlike other alternative-folk bands, La Vie provides a calm sound that is relaxing and refreshing to hear. The four man group has produced several songs that have made their marks on the music industry already.
The whole band works together in the songwriting process of all of their songs on the self-titled album. The song "Waiting For You," is a laid-back track that demonstrates an all-around good sound.
After touring across the United Kingdom, the band continued to write music, picking up the international influences that it had been looking for, which can be found in the song like "Say," which had its debut on the self-titled album.
The song "Impossible" is another upbeat and positive song that talks about the band members' hometown and cruising through life, as the soft yet somewhat twang-guitar sounds play in the background.
Although they are still in the process of starting out, they continue to grow and create a name for themselves, from songs showing up on the MTV show "Made," to music and interviews appearing on the BBC.
Some of the songs can be downloaded for free on La Vie's website. To hear more songs and to check the band out for yourself you can go to KSLC and listen. We are now streaming online so go to our website and listen to the Best in the Northwest Student Station, KSLC 90.3 FM, www.linfield.edu/kslcfm.

Law Schools Pool Their Clinics to Fight Patent Trolls
Every system has its exploits, just as computers soon developed "viruses" and every manner of digital exploitation and hacking. The latest exploit on the legal field has been patent trolls, persons who claim to have some bogus patent on such things as computer apps; the damage they can do is that fighting them off – hiring a lawyer, going to court – will cost more, ultimately, than "settling" the claim, and so a lot of app developers, who are usually individual men and women programming them, end up just paying the stupid fee.
But where there is an ache, there is a remedy, and Techdirt has reported that a group of law schools have coordinated the App Developers Alliance to create the Law School Patent Troll Defense Network. These will harness the extra resources latent in law school clinics, such as those of Brooklyn Law school, American University, NYU Law, USC, and others, and clear the field from such exploiters and blackmailers, allowing the developers of new technology, who usually aren't especially rich, the freedom and space to simply create what they are trying to create.
This is a relief, since pro bono lawyers often don't enter "corporate" disputes, and the sort of technological development is something this country has long celebrated as central to its tradition.

Logan International Airport in Boston is reporting dozens of canceled arriving and departing flights amid freezing rain advisories in southern New England and a snowstorm in the Midwest.
The canceled flights on Sunday include a number of trips between Logan and O'Hare International Airport in Chicago, where 5 to 7 inches of snow fell overnight.
Some flights between Logan and John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York also were canceled. JFK temporarily suspended flights in the morning because of icy runways, after a plane from Toronto landed and slid into snow on a taxiway. No one was hurt.
The National Weather Service says freezing rain is expected in much of interior southern New England on Sunday. There is a small chance for freezing rain in eastern Massachusetts coastal areas.

There's a 0 percent chance that the Dallas Mavericks trade small forward Shawn Marion during Thursday's NBA Draft, according to ESPN Dallas' Tim MacMahon. Marion would have to approve any deal before June 30 and nothing has been discussed with him.
Marion is slated to make $9.32 million next year if he opts in to the last year of his contract as expected, and there have been some rumors that the Mavs would like to shed that salary. SheridanHoops reported last week that Dallas wanted to package Marion along with the No. 13 pick to the Cleveland Cavaliers for the No. 19 pick. Because the Cavs have cap space, they'd be able to fully absorb Marion's contract.
The incentive for the Mavs to dump Marion's salary is to ensure cap space for a possible maximum contract offer for Dwight Howard. However, Dallas likely won't know their chances with Howard until after July 1, so for now, they'll likely hang on to Marion and possibly move him later if there's a legit chance at Howard and more cap space needs to be freed up.

Category Archives: Breeder Talk
How Much Should I Feed My New Puppy?
You should feed the same amount the breeder is feeding when you get your pup home. It is also important to feed the same food as the breeder. If you feel the need to change food please feed the same food as breeder for about 3-4 weeks before switching to prevent stomach upset or diarrhea. You need to do a slow switch over to also prevent this.
You need to keep an eye on your pups weight so they stay at a healthy weight as they grow.
This is especially important as the adult teeth are coming in. The body needs calcium for the teeth to grow and be strong. If the pup is too thin (not getting enough to eat) than the body will draw calcium from the bone. Once you loose bone you can not get it back and the pup will not grow to the proper standard of the breed.
English/bench bred Labrador pups should be chuncky (not fat) rather than lanky. Most vets will disagree with this but they don't know the breed like reputable breeders do. In fact most vets get very little, if any, nutritional training in vet school. They are not your best source for questions about brand and amount of food to feed.
Your pup should have a very slight waist line from back of ribs to hip.
Your pup will go thru growth spurts and this is when you need to increase the amount you are feeding. Perhaps 1/4 cup daily will be enough. You need to keep an eye on stools. After a few days if they are firm than add another 1/4 cup to another meal. See how the pup does on the 1/2 cup increase and if they are not gaining slowly add a bit more.
If you are not sure take your pup to your breeder for their opinion or email them a pic of your pup standing from the side and from the top with you standing at the pups rear end.
Natural Antihistamines For Dogs
Many dogs have skin issues either from allergies, hotspots from itching/chewing or chewing from boredom, etc.
Most vets will put your dog on steroids which is not good for them long term.
I prefer the holistic approach when possible and have found a few things that work well.
One is a salve of Comfrey and St. Johns Wort compound from www.mountainroseherbs.com
Another is Quercetin and Bromelain. I use this product giving one per day:
Vitamin C in high doses (to bowel tolerance) works well too. It makes the adrenal gland produce natural steroids which work as a natural anti-inflammatory. Slowly increase and watch for bowel intolerance. I have given as much as 6000 – 8000 mg. daily split up in 2 meals.
The rule of thumb when using human supplements for a dog 50 – 90 lbs is 1/2 the adult dose. For small breeds or puppies give 1/2 the child dose. (Vit C is a water soluble vitamin so the body will flush what it does not need/utilize)
Some dogs will have allergies to certain foods so if you suspect this you need to do elimination diets. Fillers can often be the culprit (corn, wheat, etc.) but sometimes it is the protein source in the dog food. You can do allergy testing to pinpoint the culprit whether its food or environmental but it can be costly.
Years ago I had a dog allergic to corn. Switched to a kibble with no corn and it solved the problem. I watched her eat an ear of corn off the stalk in the yard one day and within 24 hours she had a huge flair up so for me it was easy to figure out. Years later the same dog needed specific food for kidney failure and it had corn in it but she never had a flair up which tells me she outgrew the allergies just like children can.
If you are unsure about using human supplements for your dog consult with a holistic vet.
Teaching Your Puppy To Swim
Most puppies do not know how to use their back legs the first time they try to swim. Their back end sinks and they may panic and develope a fear of the water.
If you have a pool or a friend with a pool this is the best way to teach them.
Purchase a puppy size life vest. They are around $25.00
Put a collar and leash on the pup and the vest. Carry the pup into the shallow end of the pool and get them used to the water. Than try to get them to swim in a circle around you while you hold the end of the leash.
The vest will keep them afloat while they learn to use their back legs and they will not panic.
Than guide them toward the stairs so they know where to get out of the pool. Otherwise they may try to climb out the side and panic when they can't get out.
Take off the vest and go back in the pool with your pup on the leash and see if they use their back legs.
If so, you and your pup should be good to go. If not put the vest back on and keep practicing.
When Can I Take My Puppy To Obedience Classes?
You can start your puppy training at home. Teach the pup starting at 8 weeks of age to walk on a leash. Teach sit, down, leave it, wait, etc.
I do not recommend group classes until your pup has had all its vaccinations. The last one should be at 16 weeks or older. And most group classes will also require rabies, which should be done no sooner than 4 weeks after the last vaccination.
If you take your pup to a group class prior to all vaccinations you are taking a huge chance of exposing the pup to deadly diseases. The worst of them being Parvo.
Please ask your vet for their opinion. The trainer conducting the classes will most likely tell you its fine to start after the second vaccination…… because they want enrollment to make money.
The only way you will know if 2 vaccinations are enough is to titer test your pup at the vet. This is a blood draw and sent to the laboratory to see if the pup has an immunity to the diseases for which is being vaccinated for.
Please, for the sake of your pup, wait for all vaccinations to be completed before starting a group obedience class.
This also goes for not taking your pup to Petsmart stores or the like, dog parks, etc…..
And when you go to the vet's office, do not allow your pup on the ground of the facility; in the waiting room or the exam room until all vaccinations are complete.
Please listen to this advice for the health of your beloved puppy.
Ectopic Ureter (EU) In Pups
It is important to determine if this is the case or the pup just has a urinary tract infection causing leaking.
Ultra sound or further tests can diagnose EU.
In most cases the pup will leak urine from birth. That was the case with one of our pups many years (30 plus) ago.
Surgery is necessary but type of surgery/cause of EU and when to do surgery will depend on age of pup and your vet will inform you of this.
Here is more info.
Sending Pups To Their New Homes
It is always bitter sweet. I cry when each one leaves and hug them and kiss them and pray they will adjust quickly without their litter mates, sleep through the night, house train easily and be happy.
I do carefully screen every family way in advance and I follow my gut if something does not seem right. It is my decision as to who will and who will not get one of my pups.
I wean momma at least 1 week prior to pups leaving so they are no longer as dependent on or attached to her.
I send each pup home with a few toys that all pups have played with and they have also been rubbed on momma and grandma for scent.
New families bring a few towels to rub on litter mates and older dogs as well.
I follow up same day to see how pup is adjusting and for a good week after to see how they are doing thru the night and with house training etc.
I am on call for my pups and their families for the life of the pup and I truly appreciate my buyers keeping me updated with details and pics of their pups.
Choosing AKC Registered Name
This can be fun for the whole family.
I usually choose a call name first and work off that for a catchy name. Sometimes its the other way around.
Here are a few examples:
Clyde (as in Bonny and Clyde) Snowco's Take The Money And Run
Snowco's When Thunder Rolls (Stormy)
It is not necessary to have the call name and AKC name cooincide.
Sometimes you can combine the sire and dam names to come up with one for your pup.
I have one pup person who wanted to use the names of her 2 last Labs; Cody and Duffy; CoDuffy's Legacy Of Snowco.
The AKC allows 36 characters which includes hyphens, spaces, etc. You can go as high as 50 but there is an additional charge. They also have a limit as to how many times a name can be used.
Should I Change My Puppy's Food?
When you first bring a new pup home it is very important to continue to feed the same food the breeder (or shelter, etc.) has been feeding the pup for at least 2 weeks. Rule of thumb is to go thru 1 bag and as you get near the end of the bag start your switch over gradually.
Pups are under stress when coming to a new home and changing the food can add more stress which will most likely result in loose stools or severe diarrhea.
As mentioned above; when switching do it gradually to avoid loose stools. Slowly substitute the new food for the old. ie; if you are feeding 1 cup per meal substitute 1/8 to 1/4 cup of the new food for the old.
Wait a few days and observe stools. If they are firm than continue your slow switch over.
Keep in mind that loose stools can also be caused by parasites, coccidia, giardia, etc. so if your pup does not firm up take a stool sample to the vet to be sure there are no medical issues.
You should always take a stool sample with you to your pups first visit with your vet.
Some people believe in rotating foods. I don't feel it is necessary and certainly would not do this with a young pup.
I Want To Breed My Dog
I had a call the other night from someone looking for a pup and this was the reason he wanted one. So he could eventually breed her to his male dog. And he had no experience at all.
Needless to say,…… I would not consider selling him a pup.
My first question is "why" do you want to breed?
The answer is usually because he or she is a great dog.
My next question is what does he or she have to offer to the breed?
The answer is he or she is a great dog.
Folks, this is not a reason to bread your dog.
First off your dog must be of the proper standard for the breed and it should be evaluated by reputable breeders and/or in the conformation show ring.
If you have never bred a dog – especially a female – I will start with these questions:
Do you know what it takes to get to the point of breeding:
Health clearances (for Labs or most medium to large breed dogs) Hips, Elbows, Eyes (Optigen), Heart, EIC, etc. Do you have any idea what all this costs?
Full blood work prior, then progesterone draws to know when the bitch is ready to be bred? More money.
Timing for breeding?
Proper feeding of the bitch during gestation? More money.
X-rays to determine pregnancy and the number of pups to expect? More money.
Knowing when she is in labor – taking temp, knowing the signs of labor?
When she is ready to whelp – will you know what to do?
Will you know how to help her when a pup is stuck?
Will you know when you may have to rush her in for an emergency c-section?
Will you know what to do to try and revive a still born pup?
What to do when the pup is alive but lethargic?
What if mom is not right….. does not want to nurse her pups, or clean them; mother instinct does not kick in?
Are you prepared to bottle or tube feed the pups to save their lives?
Are you prepared to have a large litter and possibly loose pups?
If a pup is stuck in the birth canal that means others may be coming behind that pup (their cords already detached) and suffocating before they can be born…. will you know what to do to get that stuck pup out to save that one and the others that may be right behind?
This all happens more often than you think.
Breeding is not for the weak of heart and no seasoned breeder has all the answers.
However, if you just "want to breed your dog", please think twice, ten times about this.
Spay or neuter your pet and love them for all their life.
If you are serious about wanting to get involved in breeding than find a mentor in your breed. Go to dog shows to learn about your breed and see what is the proper standard of your breed. This is the best place to learn and meet breeders who "may" be willing to mentor you and sell you a pup on open AKC registration that you can show and possibly eventually breed.
Cleft Palates In Pups
Cleft palates are said to be hereditary or environmental.
It is advised not to give fish oil to a pregnant bitch because it can cause cleft palates in pups.
I don't give any supplements during pregnancy or nursing other than vit. C (Not Ester c)
I purchased a pup years ago and than found out that her sire produced 13 pups in 3 different litters all in 3 different geographical locations.
To me that is hereditary, not an environmental issue.
Thankfully this bitch never produced a cleft pup nor has her daughter.
There are reasons to try and save cleft pups. It depends on the severity of the cleft and the time the breeder has to put into that pup.
There is some great info out there. I think they are worth saving. But it does involve hand feeding – bottle or tube – as a cleft pup is not capable of suckling from their mother. They loose their milk thru the cleft and into and out the nasal cavity and can also aspirate into the lungs killing them.
You need to see the signs immediately to save the pup.
Please see these links for more info:
Here is another link with good info (I do not condone the fact that they offer a "Banfield" coupon – I do not recommend Banfield to anyone – fly by night vets as far as I am concerned.)
But the site has good info for cleft palate pups.
I hope anyone that produces a cleft palate pup takes the time to save that baby.
There are times the cleft is so severe it is more humane to put the pup down.
Please have your vet or a seasoned breeder that has dealt with this make that decision for you.

How to Find Google Chromecast's MAC Address
If you have filtering by media access control (MAC) enabled on your router, it will recognize your Google Chromecast, but will not allow you to stream content to the device. You'll need to venture into the router's administration software and make an exception. The exact process varies by router, but the first thing you'll need is your Chromecast's MAC address. Here's how to find it.
In order to access Chromecast's settings, you'll need to plug the device into your TV and connect it to the same Wi-Fi network as your computer.
1. Open the Chromecast app on your computer. If you have set up your Chromecast recently, you'll find a shortcut to the app on your desktop. Otherwise, Windows users should check the Start Menu; Mac and ChromeOS users should check Applications, and Linux users should navigate to the directory where they installed the program. If it has disappeared, you can always download it again via theChromecast setup page.
2. Click Settings. You'll see a list of all the Chromecasts connected on your Wi-Fi network. If you have more than Chromecast, you'll have to repeat this process. Click Settings to proceed.
3. Find the MAC address at the bottom of the window. The system's MAC address is located at the bottom-left corner of the Settings menu.
Copy the MAC address down, then consult your router's instruction manual. Now you can make an exception for your Chromecast and allow it to stream content as intended.

Sustainability at the Oscars: Going Green Can Be Glamorous
Glitz, glamor, and environmental sustainability are on the agenda today at the Oscars. For the seventh year in a row, the organizers of the Academy Awards are adopting "green" practices for Hollywood's biggest night.
It all started in 2007, when the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) teamed up with the show's producer Laura Ziskin to reduce the environmental impact of the event. "By announcing this initiative from such a legendary and respected stage, the Academy is reaching tens-of-millions of people across the world with a message that cleaner, more sensible energy choices and a simple commitment to environmental stewardship are Oscar-worthy endeavors for everyone," Frances Beinecke, NRDC President said in a press release at the time.
Allen Hershkowitz, a senior scientist at the NRDC, recently sat down with actor Ed Begley Jr. to discuss the greening of the Oscars with Valhalla Entertainment CEO, Gale Anne Hurd. LA Confidential published the interview.
"Everything is sustainable," Begley Jr. said, calling the event "one of the greenest galas I've ever been to." Hershkowitz said that all the food is "organic and as local as possible." What isn't eaten is donated or composted. Timing was perfect for going green back in 2007, Begley Jr. explained. An Inconvenient Truth was up for an Oscar, Leonardo DiCaprio showed up in a hybrid, and suddenly, "it became cool to be green." But what exactly does "going green" for the Oscars entail? Hershkowitz used his NRDC blog in 2013 to give readers a glimpse into the process.
