This is the second monthly stats & income report which I started last month, I received good feedback after publishing last months results which has convinced me this series is worth keeping on. So how did WPLift do last month? Read on …

In this section, all display advertising at the moment is handled through BuySellAds. For the affiliate income, there were 21 different sources linked through various posts. If you want to know more about how I monetize the site & which plugins I use, see the article I wrote about affiliate links.
- Display Advertising: $172.50
- Affiliate Income: $2134.81
- Total Income: $2307.31 (-$215.11)
Im pretty pleased with the stats this month – traffic is up, not by a huge amount but last month had a big spike from when SmashingMag tweeted one of the posts and it went viral and also the fact that last month had one extra day. With this taken into account, the site has shown good natural growth – I'm especially pleased with the search engine visits going up by 7k – they have increased every single month since the blog's launch so we're gaining a good reputation at Google.
The income stats were slightly down on last month's which is a bit disapointing but I received a couple of large commissions last month from people buying developer licenses for a couple of programs which is the shortfall. My display income went up with BuySellAds as I increased the prices slightly to keep them inline with other sites of the same traffic.
How did your sites do last month ? Let us know in the comments …

News by Dan Seifert on Friday April 27, 2012.
|Sponsored links, if any, appear in green.
A federal ban on all cellphone use while operating a motor vehicle has been proposed by U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. The proposed ban applies to any vehicle on any road in any state and covers both talking and texting with a cellphone.
LaHood announced the proposal at a summit in Texas this week. He pointed out that 38 states already have laws on the books banning or restricting the use of cellphones while driving, but this new federal law would supersede those.
Opponents to the proposal, such as Gary Biller, president of the National Motorists Association, say that the new law is not necessary because it would be redundant. Existing distracted driving laws already provide coverage for such infractions, and it would be more prudent to put efforts towards combating distracted driving in general instead of focusing on specifics.
"It shouldn't matter if the driver is distracted by a conversation with another vehicle passenger, tuning the radio, eating a snack, or talking on a cell phone," said Biller in a statement on the matter. "Existing laws cover all those distractions and more."
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says that 3,000 fatal accidents occurred on America's highways last year as a result of distracted driving. The NHTSA likens the delay in reaction time from using a cellphone while driving to the same delay as when one has a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08, which is the legal limit for drunk driving.source: Reuters

By Lindsey Ziliak Kokomo Tribune
Kokomo Tribune
---- — A local gnome is nearing the end of its 4,561-mile journey to a library in the Netherlands.
It's been on the road since this summer.
The Kokomo-Howard County Public Library sent 12 plastic gnomes out into the world for a geocaching contest during its summer reading program.
"I came up with the idea to use gnomes to promote the library," said library spokeswoman Lisa Fipps. "I wanted people to get excited about the library and for the library to partner more with the community. I also wanted people to realize the library is a fun place to be for events and activities, and shake that stereotype of a library being a boring shh-ing zone with books."
Fipps put trackers on all 12 gnomes and decided where each one was headed. There are gnomes bound for places like Colorado, Tennessee, Ohio, Denmark, Holland, the Netherlands and even some places in Indiana.
Every journey ends at a cutting-edge library.
"The Kokomo-Howard County Public Library is striving to become a leader in the library world, a library other libraries look to for trends," Fipps said. "So we chose 12 libraries around the globe that are trend-setters."
The Colorado gnome is going to Anythink Library — a trend-setter even in its name. That name tells you the library has no bounds beyond what the mind can think of, Fipps said. Anythink responds to the changing needs of the community it serves and has The Studio, where it holds hands-on learning programs.
The Anythink gnome has nearly reached that library, too.
It has traveled 2,103 miles and is about 80 miles from its destination, Fipps said.
The gnome bound for the Netherlands is winning the race to the finish, though. It has journeyed 4,501 miles and is only 60 miles away from the finish line.
Fipps said it's ironic that some of the gnomes that have the farthest to go are the ones closest to their destinations.
So how does it work?
The library's system administrator, a geocacher himself, hid all 12 gnomes in local geocaches. Every time someone finds one using GPS coordinates, they're supposed to move it to another geocache — hopefully one a little closer to its destination.
The first gnome to get to the right place wins. And all of the people who helped it get there are entered into a drawing for a free Kindle.
Some gnomes got stuck on their journey. A gnome headed to Denmark has been stuck in Lafayette for a while. But somehow another made it all the way to the Netherlands.
Fipps said she could hardly believe it.
"It's so cool to think that someone was willing to find and take a Kokomo-Howard County Public Library gnome on an international flight and then cache it in The Netherlands," she said. "A-mazing! But, then again, someone took Jerome the Gnome, which was KHCPL's version of Flat Stanley, to the Great Wall of China. That gave me goosebumps, for something from KHCPL to be on the more than 2,000-year-old Great Wall of China, one of the greatest wonders of the world."

Cascade Rail Foundation is working to bring Milwaukee Road 5057 (a General Electric U25B diesel locomotive) from the Western Pacific Railroad Museum in Portola, CA to the South Cle Elum Rail Yard Interpretive Center for display.
Having a Milwaukee Road locomotive at South Cle Elum is important step in the development of the rail yard as an interpretive center. The 5057 has strong ties to Washington and is well-suited to telling the story of the railroad here. Currently, no Milwaukee Road locomotives are on display in Washington.
We are raising money to purchase the locomotive, prepare it for display, and move it to the Interpretive Center. Our goal is to raise $150,000 in time to have the 5057 in South Cle Elum by July 2015, the 50th birthday of the locomotive.
To follow our progress you can sign up for our email list, follow us on Facebook, read our project blog, or check here for the latest news.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: February 1, 2011
Schumer Legislation Would Add MDPV to List of Controlled Substances and Stop Legal Sales of So-Called 'Bath Salts' and 'Plant Foods' in United States; UK, Australia, Canada, and Israel Have Already Banned the Substance
Schumer Also Calls on NYS Health Commissioner to Ban Chemicals Mephedrone and Methylenedioxyprovalerone in 'Bath Salts'; Effects Similar to Methamphetamines and Cocaine
Schumer: Bath Salts Sold Online and at Convenience Store Counters Pose Deadly Risks to Kids and Teens; Consequences of Delaying Ban are Too Grave
United States Senator Charles E. Schumer announced today that he is introducing legislation to add MDPV and mephedrone, synthetic chemicals being sold across the country and marketed as "bath salts" and "plant food" to the list of controlled substances. So-called 'bath salts' are becoming increasingly popular and sold online, in convenience stores, and in smoke shops. The chemicals have a similar effect on the body as cocaine and methamphetamines. The dangerous ingredients in the salts, MDPV and mephedrone, can be snorted, smoked, and injected to receive a deadly high. Schumer is also asking the New York State Health Commissioner to take any and all action to ban the chemicals statewide.
"These so-called bath salts contain ingredients that are nothing more than legally sanctioned narcotics, and they are being sold cheaply to all comers, with no questions asked, at store counters around the country," said Senator Schumer. "The longer we wait to ban the substance, the greater risk we put our kids in. These so-called bath salts are dangerous drugs masquerading as a harmless product. They offer a cheap and deadly high and we need to move immediately to get them off the shelves."
MDPV (methylenedioxypyrovalerone) and mephedrone are the main ingredients of these so-called 'bath salts,' and are now being sold online, at convenience stores, and in smoke shops under names like Tranquility, Zoom, Ivory Wave, Red Dove and Vanilla Sky. According to numerous reports, the chemicals found in these bath salts and plant foods cause effects similar to those caused by cocaine and Methamphetamines, including hallucinations, paranoia, and suicidal thoughts. In one case a user was reported to have resorted to self-mutilation after abusing the substance. In several cases, users have died after overdosing or because of violent behavior.
The two synthetic chemicals, mephedrone and methylenedioxypyrovalerone are uncontrolled substances with no known medicinal purpose. The harmful impact of these powders have been recognized around the world, and countries including the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and Israel have acted quickly to ban these substances. Similarly, several states, including North Dakota, Florida, and Louisiana have now banned the sale of these chemicals within their jurisdictions.
While the United States Attorney General and the Drug Enforcement Administration have announced they are currently investigating the effects of the synthetic drugs, Schumer is offering legislation to immediately add the synthetic drug to the list of controlled substances. In pushing for legislation to ban the substance, Schumer noted that pharmacological research is a long process and we cannot afford to wait while convenience stores, online merchants, and smoke shops continue to sell this synthetic drug to anyone in the country, including teens and children.
While many of the reports of violent behavior and death resulting from the drugs have come from the South and the Midwest, Schumer is hoping to head off the proliferation of the drug in New York State. In a letter to the New York State Commissioner of Health Dr. Nirav Shah, Schumer urged the commissioner to exercise all powers of his office to put in place a ban on the chemicals and, if necessary, work with the New York State Legislature to pass legislation to do so. In additional to 3 states that have already banned the chemicals, several others are actively considering the move.
"This is no run-of-the-mill household product; it is a deceptively disguised drug that can easily and cheaply be accessed by our children and teens," continued Schumer. "This is a product, being hocked at local convenience stores and smoke shops for one simple purpose: to offer a cheap and quick high. The consequences of delaying action are deadly. We must act now."
A copy of Senator Schumer's letter to Dr. Shah can be found below.

Albany, NY 12237
Dear Commissioner Shah:
I write to express my grave concern regarding the emergence of a dangerous new synthetic drug, being sold across the country and marketed as "bath salts" or "plant food." I was troubled to learn that these substances, which have the similar effects on the body as cocaine and methamphetamines, are being sold legally throughout the United States in smoke shops and convenience stores, and I urge you to issue a ban of these harmful chemicals in New York.
As you may know, poison centers throughout the country have been receiving reports over the past several months of individuals snorting, smoking, or injecting these powders as recreational drugs. According to reports, mephedrone and methylenedioxypyrovalerone, also known as MDPV, are chemicals within the so-called bath salts that cause effects similar to those caused by cocaine and methamphetamines, including hallucinations, paranoia, and suicidal thoughts, which have led to self-mutilation and several deaths. These two synthetic chemicals are uncontrolled substances with no known medicinal or commercial use.
In light of the numerous reports of the dangerous effects of these chemicals on individuals throughout the country, I plan to introduce legislation in the U.S. Senate that would place MDPV and mephedrone in Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act. I urge you to exercise all administrative action available to your office to put in place a ban on the chemicals and, if necessary, to work with the New York State Legislature to pass legislation to protect New Yorkers and prevent the legal sale of these harmful chemicals throughout the state.
The Drug Enforcement Agency is currently conducting pharmacological research on these substances, which is the first – often lengthy – step required to place these substances on the Controlled Substances list. However, we cannot afford to wait for this long process while stores continue to sell this dangerous synthetic cocaine to New Yorkers. State officials in Florida, Louisiana, and North Dakota have already outlawed MDPV within their jurisdictions, while state officials in Kentucky and Mississippi have begun to take steps toward similar measures. It is time for us in New York to recognize the danger of these synthetic drugs and take the same definitive action.
I look forward to working with you to on this important issue.
Charles E. Schumer
United States Senator

Let's trade Salome to the Dodgers. They need a backup catcher after Brad Ausmus got injured. I know the plan was to give Salome starts and lots of at bats and that is why he is at AAA, but he has been in the minors since 2004 and it is obvious Lucroy has passed him up in the plans of the organization. After Salome gets sent out of town, Lucroy could move up to AAA.
In return, our organization needs a AAA outfielder. Right now the Sounds website lists only two outfielders active after the injuries to Adam Stern and Brendan Katin. Options that we could get from the Dodgers include Tike Redman's brother Prentice, and Jay Gibbons.
Of course there is also the possibility Lorenzo Cain moves up from AA. Another option is trying to send Inglett or Gerut down to play outfield. I am just saying let's deal from our strengths. We have 2 solid catchers in Lucroy and Salome and no place to put them right now so if we can strike a deal to improve our big league club or the farm system that would be good and the timing is right since the Dodgers need something.

Author: This carol was the result of musician John Frederick Coots and lyricist Haven Gillespies' (1888-1975) collaborative effort. The song was written in 1932 and was first performed by Eddie Cantor in 1934. The carol became even more popular when it was recorded by celebrated performers like Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters.
Interesting Fact: In 1970, an animated film loosely based on the song and narrated by Fred Astaire was released.
Lyrics (Excerpt):
You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Clause is coming to town
He's making a list
And checking it twice;
Gonna find out Who's naughty and nice
Santa Clause is coming to town

I am missing a chunk of TOI data because extraskater is being stupid.com. Let's press on anyway.The Kings record in December was 9-5.
- The Richards-Toffoli tandem appeared the first 11 games and only two of those were losses. Just like the 10-77 duo, the 10-73 duo has a hard time sticking with a left wing. They've seen Clifford, Lewis, Carcillo, and Nolan in their 11 games. Maybe Richards has cooties or something.
- 12/2 marks the birth of the 74-11-77 combo and it stayed the same throughout the month.
- Interestingly, the first 10 games featured the 23-28-14 combo. The last 2 games features the 23-10-14 combo. So, Coach Sutter is trying out the Brown-Williams duo with each of his centers.
- The 13-24-71 combo saw action in six games, going 4-2.
- Carcillo went 3-2 in the games he played.
- Sadly, this is the month that sees the death of King Richards. His schlong must be sheathed, the figurative mouth must move on.
- Kopi got three GWGs, two at even strength.
- Again, the defense chips in 7 points.
- Both King and Toffoli got 2 GWGs. Nolan and Carter got the other two.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
How did I find myself in this position with my health insurance lapsed and marking the few solid holds with chalk, so that when above I wouldn't stand on the loose ones? Tony Bubb and I were at the car deciding what to do. Rotwand Wall was basking in the sun. I said, "I've always wanted to do a route on Rotwand." Tony said, "Me too." Short flat approach, no lines. I immediately backed off Samson Effect 9VS. It looks so reasonable from below, but with 2 pieces in the first 25 feet, both in very suspect rock, and the top one a tiny brass, hard climbing and inobvious route finding, Tony said, "how about we head up the gully and do one of those S routes?"
Single nuts from brass to big stoppers, double cams from green Alien to #0.75 Camalot. 18 slings, mostly long. A screamer or two is a good idea. Double ropes helpful. 70m or doubles if you're going to rap. Helmets! Webbing and rings to rig the rappels. There are no fixed rappel anchors.

I had lunch with my family on Saturday 23rd May.
A fairly expensive restaurant with such a good reputation and winner of awards, etc. should know better. …
For £80 per head, I'd like a proper table cloth and not a paper one (and please spare me the 'environmentally conscious speech' because it's a lie: the only reason is to save money). Similarly, you don't want to have so many tables close together that it makes difficult for guests (and waiters) to walk across the room. The feeling is that you are dining in a very expensive canteen.
This is not the experience one would expect from a restaurant boasting Michelin-star rating
The food is good, but nowhere near as good as it used to be. The vitello tonnato is supposed to taste of tuna, otherwise it should not be called as such. Perhaps Mrs. Rodgers could pay more visits to this establishment and go back to basics?
On the positive side, our waitress was really good
Overall, I don't think I'll go back any time soon. London offers so much better

I don't want to see any increase in height limit, period, unless the project seriously includes a substantial provision for senior low-income housing. This is a far more appropriate place for it than Maybell, the City has expressed how urgently we need it, and having such housing within such a development increases safety.

Isn't if fun how the City Council ignores its own legal rules to cater instead to the whims of one of their own who happens to have some bright young architectural students who know better than our own voters much less our elected officials... and our very dearly paid staff.... and endless hired consultants. But then... in the Republic of Shallow Alto... who you know and reading the minds of whoever has power behind the scenes is more important than efficient, timely and transparent legislative processes. Good job, PA Weekly in sniffing out this latest joke on the voters!

Grilling and balloons may soon be banned in Beaufort city parks.
"Grilling and balloons, it's all a part of being in the park. I think that's kind of silly," said Terri Anderson, resident.
Waterfront Park is the main attraction for tourists and locals. It's a place where folks can go for peace and quiet or walk the boardwalk. It is a place where families can go and make life long memories. This is why officials want to ban those things, and make folks register to throw parties in the park and other parks in the city. Folks will have to pay a small deposit, but officials don't have a dollar amount set yet.
"If you want to attract family, this is good. I think they should have a small designated area for grills where people can use them, and then when they're done they can go out and enjoy the smoke free area," said Janine Palmitessa.
Everyone in city council doesn't agree with the entire proposal, but they all say some kind of regulation needs to be implemented to keep all of the city's parks clean. Officials are also looking at banning longer leashes for dogs.

Consider N particles, which merge into clusters according to the rule: a cluster of size x and a cluster of size y merge at (stochastic) rate K(x; y)=N , where K is a specified rate kernel. This MarcusLushnikov model of stochastic coalescence, and the underlying deterministic approximation given by the Smoluchowski coagulation equations, have an extensive scientific literature. Some mathematical literature (Kingman's coalescent in population genetics; component sizes in random graphs) implicitly studies the special cases K(x; y) = 1 and K(x; y) = xy.

Danish director Thomas Vinterberg is known for co-founding Denmark's Dogme movement, best expressed in his film "A Celebration," which wowed Cannes in 1998. After a journey of creative risk-taking with English-language films "It's All About Love" and "Dear Wendy," Vinterberg returned home for a major comeback with "The Hunt," cowritten by Tobias Lindholm ("A Hijacking"), which earned Mads Mikkelsen the Best Actor prize at Cannes in 2012 and was a hit in Denmark, which submitted it this year as its official Oscar entry.
If the Best Actor category weren't so intensely competitive, Mikkelsen would have a strong chance at a nomination for his penetrating portrayal of a decent school teacher whose life is shattered when he is falsely accused of being a pedophile. One spreading lie throws his community into a state of hysteria as his friends ostracize him and the teacher fights back against the witch-hunt alone. "Suddenly this kind, lovely civilized man becomes this uncivilized creature," says Vinterberg, "and people start clapping." (My video interview with Mikkelsen is here.)
The film is playing well for the Academy foreign film voters, some of whom milled around Vinterberg and Mikkelsen at a recent UTA screening. After starring in television's "Hannibal," which was shot in Toronto, Mikkelsen is a globally bankable star--able to topline an action movie or drama or thriller. He looked relaxed as he joked with Academy members about Toronto mayor Rob Ford as the gift that keeps on giving, rendering all of Denmark's political scandals as strictly minor league.
Vinterberg also came to L.A. in a good mood, after completing principal photography in England on the period adaptation "Far from the Madding Crowd," starring Carey Mulligan, Matthias Schoenaerts and Michael Sheen, which he promises will be his own take on Thomas Hardy. He never watched the entire John Schlesinger film. Likely unveiling of the Vinterberg version: Cannes 2014.

Pronouncing the director's name correctly would be respectful. Along with the actor's name also. And it's not pertinent to anything the hotel has the same last name as yourself. DUH!

Brother Rice's Nuntrae Jackson wrestles Oak Park River Forest's Davonte Mahomes at the Hinsdale Central Invitational. - Stacia Timonere/for Sun Times Media
Round 1 goes to Oak Park-River Forest.
Sandburg and the Huskies were the consensus No. 1 and 2 wrestling teams in Class 3A heading into Hinsdale Central's Rex Whitlatch Invitational, the first of what could be four meetings between them this season.
Oak Park had five champs and held off short-handed Sandburg 286.5-278 Saturday to win the 25-team tourney. Class 3A No. 9 Harlem edged No. 12 Hinsdale Central 169.5-168.5 for third.
"It's good to see them," Oak Park 132-pounder Larry Early said of the Eagles. "This will get our momentum up for them at team state. We lost to them last year [30-24 in the Class 3A state championship]. That's why every time we go up against them in a match we're so pumped up."
So what does this title mean, given that the teams could meet again at The Clash in Rochester, Minn., later this month, at the Sandburg Super Duals in mid-January and in the Class 3A state quarterfinals?
"For us, it means a little," Oak Park coach Mike Powell said. "We want a higher seeding than them at The Clash; we're hoping to get the No. 4 seed. If this helps us do that, then it was worth it. But other than that, it means nothing."
Sandburg will be without two-time state finalist Sebastian Pique (elbow) till sometime next month. And the Eagles didn't get the points they expected from 220-pounder Bill Gore, who came in 11-0 but was battling the flu and lost his only match 11-2.
"Our sport is not about excuses," Sandburg coach Eric Siebert said. "Oak Park is very good. ... I thought we battled well. We hung in there."
Early (16-0) and Davonte Mahomes (15-0) each won battles of unbeatens in the finals for Oak Park.
Early edged DeKalb's Doug Johnson (12-1) 5-4 at 132. Johnson's skill — he's a two-time state placer — and the fact that he's left-handed presented challenges, but Early prevailed. "I just had to keep my emotions going and I knew I could beat him," Early said.
Mahomes (15-0) got past Brother Rice's Nuntrae Jackson (15-1) 6-5 in the 160 final.
Oak Park's other champs were Matt Rundell (15-1) at 120, Johnny Gahagan (13-2) at 145 and Joe Ariola (14-0) at 182.
Sandburg had titles from its two Class 3A top-ranked wrestlers, each of whom bumped up a weight. Colin Holler (17-0) beat Proviso West's Kenard Washington 3-2 at 170 and Ricky Robertson (17-0) decisioned third-ranked Jameer Thurman (9-1) of Proviso West 7-1 at 195.
"The only problem with going up is some of these kids are a little stronger," Robertson said. "But I mean, when it comes to technique, I think I pretty much have the edge over everybody at that weight class. ... That's one of the reasons I wanted to stay up at '95 this week. I figured there'd be some good '95-pounders. I could show I'm just as tough up there as I am down low."
Brother Rice freshman Rudy Yates (16-0) continued the perfect start to his prep career, beating Homewood-Flossmoor's Mike Burke (14-1) 7-2 in the 103 final. It was the first competitive meeting of the pair, who are offseason practice partners. "I always beat him, but he's a tough kid," Yates said.
Yet another matchup of unbeatens came in the 138 final, where Downers Grove North's Cullen Cummings (18-0) edged Belleville West's Mech Spraggins (12-1) 5-4.
"He's ranked No. 2 [in 3A], I'm ranked No. 3," Cummings said. "Next time I'll probably see him is downstate. It was good to give him a nudge, saying, 'I'm here.'"
Also winning titles were Hinsdale Central junior 285-pounder Brian Allen (16-0), who is a three-time Whitlatch champ; and Naperville Central 220-pounder Luke Roth (9-0).

Lent inspires clinic demonstrators
Protesters, including Jerry Bergevin of Manchester, held a prayer and vigil outside of Planned Parenthood as part of the 40-Days For Life event on Thursday. (DAVID LANE/UNION LEADER)
The 40 days reached their midpoint this week, drawing about 60 people to a candlelight vigil Monday at the Planned Parenthood clinic on Pennacook Street, said Marty Dowd, a Manchester resident who works as a substitute teacher.
Similar activities are taking place at the abortion clinic in Greenland, as well as 259 other locations around the United States, Canada, Europe and Africa, according to the 40 Days for Life website.
Dowd and fellow picketers spoke Thursday outside the Planned Parenthood clinic in Manchester.
"It's a peaceful vigil. This is not a protest; it's a prayer vigil," said Bob Melnyk, a Manchester salesman who is organizing the Manchester effort.
Planned Parenthood sees the protests as disruptive.
"These protest marathons are designed to intimidate the many patients who seek basic health care services from Planned Parenthood," said Jennifer Frizzell, senior policy adviser of Planned Parenthood Northern New England.
Those services include cancer screenings, breast health care, family planning and birth control, testing for HIV and treatment for sexually transmitted infections, as well as safe, legal abortions, she said.
Six picketers were on hand when Melnyk arrived about 12:30 p.m., most carrying signs that opposed abortion. The number dwindled to two within minutes, but he said people sign up to attend the protests on a regular basis.
Organizers said the intent is to have a presence outside the clinic seven days a week, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Not all hour-long shifts are taken, but the turnout is better this year, Melnyk said.
"The weather's kind of a factor, but we don't let it deter us," Dowd said. Many prefer to come on Thursday, when the picketers say abortions take place at the clinic.
Picketers who sign up on-line are asked to sign a pledge to forswear violence and act compassionately to all clinic employees and patients.
"It's a peaceful message we're trying to get across. They're the violent ones. I don't have a suction machine taking out a baby; all I've got is a rosary," said Bedford resident Jeanne Szulc.
On Thursdays, she tries to distribute literature designed for women after they have had abortions. Szulc tried to speak to one patient as she drove an SUV out of the parking lot. The woman, who had a young child in the front seat, threw about a half-dozen wrapped condoms out of the passenger-side window at her.
Turnouts are also strong when Catholic priests show up and bring some members of their churches, Dowd said. They include the Rev. Msgr. Anthony Frontiero of St. Joseph Cathedral, the Rev. Paul Montminy of St. Catherine of Siena and the Rev. Robert J. Smolley of the Protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Melnyk said the effort is non-denominational, but many protesters hold rosaries. The Diocese of Manchester is not part of the 40 Days for Life effort, said its spokesman, Kevin Donovan.
Melnyk said the 40 Days effort ends March 24; a final rally is slated for the following Thursday.

Tours of Special Collections
Sèvres: A History of Elegant Dining
1.5-hour tour, beginning at either 10am or 2pm.
To inquire about availability for this tour, please email us.
Gourmet meals are immediately associated with refined French style, thanks to elaborate rituals of dining, and to the precious objets d'art that have graced the French table for centuries. This tour explores those arts of the table at the Musée de Sèvres, France's national museum of ceramics.
You will see some of the very first porcelain ever produced in Europe, as well as exquisite examples from the nearby workshop of Sèvres. Some royal highlights in this vast collection include pieces from Louis XV's first table service, plates commissioned by Catherine II, and a curious bol sein from Marie-Antoinette's tea service, which legend says was modelled after the queen's own breast.
Royalty were not the only ones fascinated by the elegance of this "white gold" called porcelain. The success of Sèvres in particular has created a huge market for imitations. On this tour you'll also learn some of the practical clues for distinguishing the real thing from the not so real.
Rates. 1.5-hour tour: €80 for individuals, or €70 per person for parties of two or more. Includes price of admission.

Several local daycare providers say they're running into roadblocks while trying to pay for new storm shelters. The daycare providers tell us the roadblocks are unexpected because they come from disaster relief organizations.
"It's just the smart thing to do," says Sherry Albright, owner of Wee Care daycare in Joplin.
Albright organizes fire drills and tornado drills, since this is tornado alley. But those tornado drills are done without a tornado shelter.
"We just feel here that we always try to do the very best that we can. We want to keep the kids safe and happy and healthy and make the environment as safe as it can. So it's just natural to step that up, now that we've seen that some of that we've done in the past, like going into the hallway, aren't that effective," says Albright.
Albright says the cheapest storm shelter she's come across, big enough to hold all 20 kids infants to five years old, is $6,000. It's a big cost for a daycare with four staff members.
"Joplin saw an incredible amount of support come through. But we've also seen and read stories about some of that money is still being held. We can't seem to find out where," says Albright.
"When we look at the recovery fund, the donors are very specific. They want Joplin to be built back," says Stephanie Howard with the Community Foundation of Southwest Missouri.
"So everything that we do has to be affected by the storm itself," says Howard.
Albright's for-profit daycare is two blocks from the Joplin tornado's path. Also, the Community Foundation of Southwest Missouri can only donate to nonprofit daycares.
"It's the Community Foundation's guidelines. That way, we can ensure it's going to the right person. It's not going to be used and abused," says Howard.
So for now, Albright's daycare is asking for donations to help pay for a new storm shelter.
"I would much rather put one in now before we need it. I would love it sitting here and never needing to use it," says Albright.
Albright says she's also looking for organizations that are willing to donate money towards her project and other daycare's similar projects.
The Salvation Army has been holding on to some money, deciding on how to spend those dollars. That organization has not returned out call for information on whether a decision has been made yet.

David Guetta & Co. 'Play Hard' With Robots, Pancakes & Miss America In New Video
Radio.com InterviewsKacey Musgraves
Gene Simmons
Courtney Love
Radio StationsBEST OF 2013 (SO FAR)
VideosARTIST PROFILES RADIO.COM CHANNEL
After releasing three teasers, David Guetta revealed the music video for "Play Hard" featuring Akon and Ne-Yo. The third single off Guetta's Nothing But the Beat 2.0., the trio join forces on the track and in the video, all the while proving that they know how to have a good time.
Ne-Yo took to Twitter to describe the clip as "Strange…but fly!" and his words couldn't be more true.
Shouts to the homie @davidguetta and @akon. Check for that "Play Hard" video. Strange…but fly!Open your mind…or just dance damnit! Luv!
— Ne-Yo!! (@NeYoCompound) April 23, 2013
At the video's start, two men venture into a back alleyway and hand over a stack of cash for some magical boots. As the boots are delivered to their new owner at a party house, a girl is shown in the corner of the house dancing as if she's possessed with plenty of popping and locking. As men play card games throughout the mansion, Ne-Yo is shown doing something a little more innocent: eating pancakes.
Meanwhile, Guetta gets inked and manages to leave his mark on one tattoo artist, writing his name on his back with a magic marker as another artist is tattooing him.
But that's not all. Futuristic robots, a rodeo, a blinged-out kid winning a dance-off and what looks to be Miss America contestants all flesh out the video, which was filmed in Mexico. Watch below.
As Alice Deejay's hit "Better Off Alone" is sampled in the background, one thing is clear: Guetta has more fun partying with his friends.

But it is much harder for the UN occupation forces and the "international community" to justify the persistence of gross human rights abuses which is what the 2004 coup was supposedly intended to stop. To cover up the shocking reality, Murder Inc. governments enlist media obfuscation and oblivion to tread softly around gross abuses. These include the thousands of people killed during and after the coup, the political prisoners held without due process for years, the hundreds of people unjustly convicted, mass victimization of members of Fanmi Lavalas, impunity for US-trained murderers, UN massacres and blatant attempts to rig electoral processes.

Most of these these reports of systematic human rights abuses have been either ignored or when they are impossible to ignore, like the Lancet article, they have been rubbished, the integrity of their authors challenged, their methodology questioned. That pattern follows the same pattern of perception management deployed by the US government and its allies against any steadfast opposition in Latin America, from Sandino's pequeño ejercito loco in 1930s Nicaragua to the FARC in Colombia for over forty years, from Guatemala's Arbenz to Allende's Chile, from the Cuban revolution to the Sandinista revolution to the Bolivarian revolution in Venezuela and the indigenous resurgence under Evo Morales in Bolivia.

At the same time they covertly organize paramilitary organizations and murder campaigns.

Then it is time for "regime change" via whatever puppet quisling opportunists they can muster, imposed by some cynically engineered "coalition of the willing" with or without a UN Murder Inc. permit.
On the one hand it is a reprise of imperialist policy as applied throughout the 20th century against peoples that insist on their right to self-determination. On the other it is the latest precursor in Latin America of renewed US and allied readiness to destroy progressive movements in

Outdoor Channel Holdings Reports First Quarter 2012 Results
TEMECULA, Calif., May 8, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Outdoor Channel Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq:OUTD) today reported its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012.
Total revenues for the quarter were $14.3 million, a decrease of 3% compared with $14.8 million in the first quarter of 2011 due primarily to expected lower revenues at the Company's Production Services segment. Advertising revenue for the quarter was $7.4 million, a decrease of 2% from $7.6 million in the first quarter of 2011 due primarily to lower short-form revenues. Subscriber fees for the quarter were $5.2 million, a 9% increase compared to the prior-year period due to a combination of rate increases and lower year-over-year changes in estimated reserves for potential most-favored nations ("MFN") liabilities with distribution partners. Production Services revenue totaled $1.7 million for the quarter, a decrease of 31% compared to the first quarter of 2011 due primarily to the Company's prior decision to reduce Winnercomm's non-core and low-margin business.
The Company's operating loss for the first quarter 2012 was $2.0 million compared to an operating loss of $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2011. The decline in the Company's operating income was primarily attributable to higher programming and advertising expenses and expenses related to the Company's management succession changes in February 2012.
The Company's consolidated net loss for the 2012 first quarter was $1.2 million, or $0.05 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $ 830,000, or $0.03 per basic and diluted share, in the first quarter of 2011.
"During the first quarter we began to implement our increased program and advertising investments in line with our strategic plan. Major League Fishing, which debuted late in the quarter, reflects the first of those new program investments and is consistent with our goal of delivering compelling outdoor content that possesses an increased character and event-driven focus. We expect that most of our new program investments will begin airing on the Channel in 2013. In addition to strengthening our content offering, we are also focused on accelerating the growth of our subscriber base, which has increased by over 2.7 million subscribers since a year ago this time," said Tom Hornish, President & Chief Executive Officer. "The performance of both our Production Services and Aerial Camera units meaningfully improved during the first quarter, and our focus on operational efficiencies at both segments has begun to positively impact our results. In the year ahead, we expect our programming and advertising investments to constrain near-term profitability at the Channel, largely offset by improved bottom-line results at our Production Services and Aerial Cameras units. We believe our investment strategy will further strengthen our brand and leadership position, expand our audience, and drive future profitability and shareholder value."
Review of Segment Operating Results
The Outdoor Channel ("TOC") posted an operating loss of $931,000 for the quarter compared to operating income of $277,000 for the first quarter of 2011. The reduced operating income was driven primarily by increased advertising and programming expense and expenses related to the Company's succession changes in February 2012, net of a 2% increase in TOC's revenues.
The Production Services unit posted an operating loss for the quarter, before the effect of intercompany eliminations, of $381,000 compared to an operating loss of $645,000 for the first quarter of 2011. The improved operating results are primarily the result of lower facility costs resulting from our fourth quarter 2011 relocation along with lower compensation expense resulting from 2011 downsizing activities.
Our Aerial Cameras unit posted an operating loss of $649,000 for the quarter compared to an operating loss of $744,000 for the first quarter of 2011 on lower legal expense and operating efficiencies from our September 2011 office relocations, net of a reduction of gross margins from fewer first quarter events.
Consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted for the effects of share-based compensation expense (adjusted EBITDA), was negative $415,000 for the quarter, compared to positive $337,000 in the prior-year period. TOC's adjusted EBITDA totaled $253,000 for the quarter compared to $1.3 million in the prior-year period, an 81% decline. Production Services' adjusted EBITDA was negative $274,000 for the quarter compared to $496,000 in the prior-year period and Aerial Cameras' adjusted EBITDA was negative $394,000 for the quarter compared to $514,000 in the prior-year with both segments' improved results driven primarily by expense reductions.

Outdoor Channel Holdings' management will host an investor conference call on May 8, 2012, at 2:30 p.m. PT (5:30 p.m. ET) to review the Company's financials and operations for its first quarter ended March 31, 2012.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release includes "non-GAAP financial measures" within the meaning of the Securities and Exchange Commission rules. The Company believes that earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted for the effects of share-based compensation expense ("Adjusted EBITDA)", provides greater comparability regarding its ongoing operating performance and is helpful as an indicator of the current financial performance of the Company and its capacity to generate operating cash and operationally fund capital expenditures and working capital requirements. We believe this information is also used by analysts and investors to evaluate our operating performance without regard to such items as depreciation and amortization and taxes.

A reconciliation of the Company's U.S. GAAP net loss to Adjusted EBITDA is provided in the attached table.
Safe Harbor Statement
Statements in this news release that are not historical are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements, without limitation, about our expectations, beliefs, intentions, strategies regarding the future long-term value of the Company resulting from the Company's current actions or strategic initiatives and the future anticipated value of Outdoor Channel to our audience, distributors and advertisers. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those discussed in any forward-looking statements. The Company intends that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe-harbor provisions contained in those sections. Such statements involve significant risks and uncertainties and are qualified by important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected by the forward-looking statements. Such factors include but are not limited to: (1) service providers discontinuing or refraining from carrying Outdoor Channel; (2) changes in Nielsen methodology and estimates; (3) a decline in the number of viewers from having Outdoor Channel placed in less popular cable or satellite packages, or increases in subscription fees, established by the service providers; (4) increased competition in demand in price from broadcast networks; (5) a decrease in advertising revenue as a result of a deterioration in general economic conditions; and other factors which are discussed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. For these forward-looking statements, the Company claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

My fears over Sure Start closures
2:18pm Thursday 15th November 2012 in Your Letters
I AM worried about the closures of so many of the Sure Starts in Trafford.
The Children's Centre provided me with so much support while my children were little.
They helped me with weaning and breastfeeding advice, and they linked me in with a support worker who sorted out parenting classes for me which taught me how to discipline my son effectively.
It totally changed our family life. If I hadn't gone to the playgroups, I would not have known where to turn.
I have also made friends with other parents from all walks of life, which has made me feel part of the community, and stopped me feeling isolated. It will be such a loss to the area if they were to go.

You are not alone in your fears over the Sure Start proposals. There are a group of parents, carers and supporters who have set up a campaign to save our Sure Start centres.
We can be found at https://www.facebook
We are keen to extend the campaign to other parents and carers from anywhere in Trafford. We have a meeting on Wednesday where we will have information about what these changes could mean to you and your family.
We are offering some parent to parent support, help with completing your consultaion forms, information on the proposals and our campaign and tea, coffee and biscuits.
Please join us from 8pm at Seven Ways Methodist Church. All are welcome.

PITTSBURGH – Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Deryk Engelland and forward Joe Vitale were both in the lineup for Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Final on Monday night in place of defenseman Mark Eaton and forward Tyler Kennedy.
Penguins coach Dan Bylsma has not dressed either Engelland or Vitale since Game 2 of the second round against the Ottawa Senators on May 17. In four Stanley Cup Playoff games this spring, Engelland has no points, six penalty minutes, two shots on goal and a minus-4 rating. Vitale has one assist in four games with four penalty minutes, two shots on goal and an even rating.
Engelland has averaged 12:44 of ice time per game in the playoffs, which is far less than Eaton's 17:16 per game. Eaton is also used considerably on special teams, averaging 2:07 of ice time shorthanded and 2:30 on the power play per game. Engelland has played 2:10 per game with the man advantage this postseason, but has played just 32 seconds on the penalty kill.
Engelland played with Douglas Murray on Pittsburgh's third pairing.
Vitale has averaged 9:39 of ice time in his four games played, but he was scratched for Game 3 against Ottawa with an undisclosed injury and hasn't dressed since.
When asked about what Vitale brings to his lineup during the series against Ottawa, Bylsma mentioned he liked the speed Vitale adds to his fourth line when he's in there. However, he is replacing a very speedy player in Kennedy.
Vitale was skating with Craig Adams and Jussi Jokinen on Pittsburgh's fourth line.
