Well, this is going to be pretty short, as I gotta get a bunch of stuff done around church this morning so that I'm ready when the pastor and my friends show up so we can go to GAME 2! WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
We got there about 4, gates opened at 4:30, though they didn't let anyone in for another 15 minutes or so. It is Fleet Week, so there's Navy stuff all over and lots of airplanes. We saw the Blue Angels from the car, but I couldn't get any good shots. Here's a Navy (or maybe Marines, couldn't see through the crowd) brass band playing outside in Willie Mays Plaza.

We got inside, and the Reds were taking batting practice. Somebody was crushing homers to left field; I think it was Frazier.

Dusty got a huge ovation when he was introduced, and the big scoreboard actually said something like "Glad you are back in the dugout, Dusty!" It was really cool. Giants fans are really nice. I was pretty vocal, and the folks behind me were giving the Reds a hard time for sure. At the end of the game, the woman patted me on the shoulder and said, "Congrats, nice game." Go Giants! They're my second favorite team!
Superfast airplanes fly over! Cool! They were actually a bit late, but no worries, it's cool. This is San Francisco.

Alex Smith threw out the first pitch and bounced it way outside. Incomplete. BP stepped in for the first real pitch.

Absolutely devastating when Cueto walked off. I saw on mobile RR that Latos was begging to get into the game. Wheels started turning and the brilliance of the idea was soon obvious. He gets my vote for JNMPotG. Here he is warming up in the pen. We were on the top deck, 3rd base side. Clear view of the Reds pen, but glad I had my long lens so I could figure out who was warming up.
Except Broxton. I could tell it was Broxton without the camera.

Hey @CatLatos, you can be proud of your dad:

I won't recap the game, because you were all watching. Ludwick's defense in LF was stellar. Even the Giants fans were amazed. Joeys DP snag was awesomegarlicfries. BP almost turned two on that other play, then barehanded the final out of the inning because he can.
Bruce's homerun was CRAZY. Balls hit to that part of the field always fall in "Triples Alley", and rattle around in there. A fast runner has a good shot at an inside the parker. I lost track of the ball just as it came in front of the crowd - as it turns out, because it was in the crowd. NOBODY hits home runs to that spot. Well, except Jay. Oh yeah.
One of the founding members of Tower of Power played God Bless America and Take Me Out to the Ballgame. Don't know if they showed that on TV.
After the jump (well, I can see it in the editor) are more pictures I liked, and a link to the whole set. Now I gotta get ready to take some more today.
Joey manning first hypervigilantly:

Ludwick makes the catch:

Xavier Paul connects:

Hannigan catches a tough popup:

And, you can find all the rest right here.

Report: Phoenix Coyotes close to signing goalie Mike Smith to new six-year deal
By Arizona Sports

While the Phoenix Coyotes' future in the Valley still remains up in the air, the same may no longer be the case for the team's long-term situation in net.
According to TSN Insider Darren Dreger, the Coyotes are close to signing goalie Mike Smith to a new six-year contract extension worth up to 5.7 million a year.
Smith, who signed a two-year deal with Phoenix in July 2011, went 38-18-10 with a 2.23 goals against average in 2011-12 and helped lead the franchise to its first ever appearance in the Western Conference Finals.
Although injuries and inconsistent play (15-12-5 with 2.58 GAA) highlighted his time between the pipes during the lockout-shortened 2013 campaign, Smith still tied for the league-lead with five shutouts.

↵It's hard to get too excited about this deal, except on a hypothetical level. Neither Marion or O'Neal were working on their new teams, although at least JO had put up some impressive numbers at times. But the Heat needed a center and have too many power forwards, the Bosh/O'Neal tandem wasn't working, and Toronto needed to do something to keep Chris Bosh engaged. ↵
↵If Marion and O'Neal are still actually any good, and weren't just stunted by context, Toronto could get a defensive and rebounding presence that might speed the team up, rather than slow it down. With the Matrix joining Bosh and Bargnani up front, you could be looking at one of the more fascinating, if not productive, frontcourts in the league. ↵↵
↵Meanwhile, the Heat have one less PF, which gives them some room to develop Beasley, while the center position gets a major upgrade from Joel Anthony -- even if O'Neal is only so-so. At least he fits.
↵That said, this means Bosh isn't on the move, and the Heat have fallen back on the most conservative, and likely, option available. So no Amare/Wade pairing, at least for now. Worth noting, too, that Marion's contract is up this summer, and O'Neal's in 2010. So who knows how much of a motivation, or distraction, that will provide. These could both feel very soon like Iverson-style rentals, especially if everything doesn't come together right away. And who knows, Bosh still could see greener pastures in two summers, and the Heat could most definitely be in the running for big names in 2010, if nothing else because of location. Not exactly win-win, but a better position than either team was in before. ↵

Out of curiosity I was wondering what the Canishoopus brain trust thought of the following hypo(I'm not advocating it, just want to discuss): What if the NBA eliminated the Draft format in which everyone's team future is dependent on ping pong balls, and went to a Rookie free agent pool, with strict overall salary constraints, including a Hard Salary Cap for teams.
The idea being create an actual free market for talent, so that it can be allocated more efficiently, and w/o locking teams into rookies they may be lukewarm about.
To proactively counter the first argument against it the inevitable "All the good players will choose to go to the Lakers, Heat, etc." : First off, they manage that already. Second, In my scenario there is a strict cap so those teams that have spent good money on veterans won't be able to afford prime rookies. In that sense it would function similar to talent acquisition today.
The main purpose is eliminating market inefficiency in pricing. My main candidate for this is Blake Griffin. The Clippers got an amazing deal on Griffin, simply by picking first. He is grossly underpaid on that salary. If other teams had been allowed to bid on Griffin, I can't imagine Sterling caring enough to match a high salary as it would cut into his pocket, and Griffin would now be playing on a team who's owners actually gave a crap.
My second examples are guys like Xavier Henry and Evan Turner. Memphis had no real need for Henry, but took him because he was BPA and I'm guessing they couldn't find a proper trade value. Then they low balled him in negotiations. A team like the Wolves, in desperate need of a SG would likely have been willing to pay slightly more to aquire him. Possibly his overall price would have been even lower if people weren't that interested. As for Turner, he is a bad fit for the Sixers, everyone knew it at the time, yet the took him b/c of BPA consensus. I find it hard to believe that the Wolves would not have been willing to outbid the Sixers for Turner(personally I'm glad they didn't get the chance).
Alot of this type of stuff can already done trough trading draft picks and the like, but again the idea of this hypo is efficiency. The most important part of it being: The Turnaround:
How long does a team have to wait for a turnaround now, even if their GM is good? It can still take several years to even get the chance at missing on a draft pick, when the guy who would be perfect for your team got picked one in front of you, by a team who just wanted the BPA.
With the free agency, A team could hypothetically rebuild in one draft if they cleared enough space. Again the key to this is Hard Caps, and still having Individual Salary Caps so we don't get the KG overload on salary problem.
The weakness of all this is owner's are idiots that can't keep their wallets in their pants and would over pay on potential. My only solution for that as said before is to limit their resources(hard cap) and maintain similar rookie contract lengths as now.
As it stands now, teams are obligated to risk a pick and 4-5 $million on a guy because they only have one shot in the draft and have a huge potential opportunity cost if they don't take BPA. The salary bidding will let smart GM's maximize their available capital to attempting to hire only the rookies that they want for sure. If they miss out this year, not a big deal. They will still have the available salary space next year, and the other team wont b/c they will be locked into a salary. Therefore the patient team will always have a least a shot at acquiring quality players.
Also: thank god for rookies teams are lukewarm about: Yay Kevin Love!

In one of the more surprising reports of the college basketball offseason so far, Arizona forward Grant Jerrett will declare for the NBA Draft, Jeff Goodman of CBSSports.com reports.
The announcement is expected to come on Thursday.
In just one season with the Wildcats, Jerrett struggled, scoring just 5.2 points and grabbing 3.6 rebounds per game. He did, however, shoot well from beyond the arc. Jerrett made 32 shots from long distance last season.
Goodman also reports that NBA executives believe Jerrett is a second-rounder at best, and might even go undrafted, making this decision all the more baffling. He says Jerrett is expected to sign with Brian Dyke of Shibumi Sports.
Despite Jerrett's departure, Arizona will still have plenty of talent returning. Brandon Ashley and Kaleb Tarczewski are expected back and will join forces with highly touted freshman Aaron Gordon to keep the still-young Wildcats in contention in the Pac-12.
Arizona finished the season 27-8 and lost to Ohio State in the Sweet 16.

Saucony Grid Excursion TR 2
4-star: 1
3-star: 0
2-star: 0
1-star: 0
This is my second pair of Saucony (Grid Excursion…
Price Paid: around $50
This is my second pair of Saucony (Grid Excursion TR 2) and let me tell you that I have never worn a more comfortable pair of running shoes. Nothing comes even close!!!!!! There are so perfect I just cannot believe how great and nice they are. Ohh I bought them over 2 years and they look like new and I wear them all the time.
The problem is that I can not find them anywhere. They have the Grid Excursion TR 4 but I do not know if they are as comfortable as the TR 2. Do you know where I can buy the TR 2. Please helppppppppp!.
This was my first pair of Saucony shoes and I love…
Use: everything
Break-in Period: comfortable from the start
Weight: 180 lbs
Price Paid: $50
This was my first pair of Saucony shoes and I love them. The comfort and durability of these shoes make Nike and other major shoe manufactures seem like dollar store garbage. I am extremely rough on shoes and I have had these for 3 or so years and they are still going strong. Before I was buying shoes every 6 months but since I discovered this brands quality they are all I would even consider buying!
I've been using these shoes for about seven months,…
Use: trail running
Break-in Period: seemed to need none
I've been using these shoes for about seven months, and I love them. The most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. They fit my feet perfectly. I'm not sure why, but Nikes never feel right on my feet, while New Balance and Saucony do.
I run trails, and my main trail is pretty rugged, full of roots and uneven ground. These TR2 has great traction and cushioning. The only thing I wish it would have is a bit more protection in the middle of the heel. Sometimes I've stepped on small rocks that fit into the "hollow" of the heel and so weren't cushioned by the more rigid outer rim of the heel. A couple of times it was rather painful, though it never resulted in a bruise or anything serious.
I've definitely been planning to buy another pair when these wear out, but now I see that there is also the TR3, and I'll do some research to see how that model may differ.
Retailers' Descriptions
Here's what other sites are saying:
This latest generation of the Saucony Excursion TR perfectly blends off-road traction and stability with excellent cushioning. You'll enjoy every step no matter where your adventure will take you. Responsive cushioning. Non-visible grid system provides stable cushioning. HRC strobel board increases cushioning and comfort. Injected midfoot cradle provides increased support and locks the foot to the midsole. Aggressive triangular lug design maintains traction and cushioning on all terrain. XT-600 carbon rubber outsole material that offers exceptional traction properties without sacrificing durability.

Eaton's Weekend Get-A-Way
January 19, 2013
My birthday was coming up at the end of the month for my "Big 70"and I wanted to give back to my Family as they have given to me. So I decided, with my wife, to gather my two Son's, their wives, Daughter and Friend and our two grand children, Riley and Liam to a winter treat as a gift from me. The criteria was to be a country setting, on water with lot's of room to roam, relax and just hang out and be within an hours drive from where everyone lives. Well we did just that. Lake front custom - built cottage provider that and much more than expected. All four of our family each had their own bedroom with very restful beds, the two kids loved the bunk beds, with four bathrooms and showers to go around. The hot tub and setting around the fire place was the most favorite place while my son prepared in the kitchen which is part of the great room so he did not miss out on anything and could join in with the laughter. Weather was super outside so we could take walks, jog, site see, and see some of Michigan's wild life. Many pictures were taken of all our activities inside and out as a remembrance of My Birthday and the Gift I gave back to my Family. We are all still thinking of our great time together and talking about, Let's Do It Again. We want to thank the host for opening up this beautiful vacation home, showing us around and it's use of the many unexpected extras that made this a "Great 70".

Great relaxing week
August 21, 2012
We had an amazing week. This house is beautiful and big. There is lots of room, tons of space for everything you want to do. The kitchen is great we actually did more cooking then planned because eveything was so handy. All of the beds were very comfortable no cheap mattresses or linens here. The house has a lot of privacy which is different from many lake houses. The lake is pretty clean for playing but there are a lot of fish and turtles. There is a pretty big drop off if you have children. We spent most of the week floating on rafts in the lake and it was heaven. One thing to note is there is only one tv, this was not really a problem for us but if we would have had more men it may have been. We didn't have any trouble with cell phone usage, interent, or tv. We look foraward to another family vacation at this wonderful lake home.

Great Vacation Home for Multi-Family Getaway
April 28, 2012
Located between 15-20 minutes from Big Rapids. Awesome kitchen, fully stocked and open floor plan with family room and fireplace. Families enjoyed the proximity of the cottage to the water; the kids had a wonderful experience fishing this catch-n-release lake. Minimal neighbors surrounding property made for a secluded weekend vacation. Thanks Lisa and Patrick - everyone had a great time - looking forward to returning next year!

Amazing place to stay!

This home was better than we imagined! Upon first entering, our group was amazed at how beautiful the house and surrounding area is. The adjacent lake is clean and a fun place to hang out and swim. The owners, Lisa and Pat, are also very friendly and helpful. I'd highly recommend this location!

As an aviation journalist, I have seen the best and worst of airport food. I also am a big fan of the $100 hamburger, which is just an excuse for general aviation pilots to fly from one destination to another.
Which is why I cheered when I saw this great article — Test crew flies Boeing 747-8 to Pittsburgh for sandwich — from our good friend Ben Mutzabaugh of USA Today's Today In The Sky blog. This story has two elements I just love — the Boeing 747-8 and great food.
The crew for the 747-8 flew from Seattle to Pittsburgh for some flight testing and took the opportunity to take delivery of sandwiches from Primanti Brothers. Having feasted on its signature sandwich — grilled meat (give me ham), a vinegar-based cole slaw, tomato slices, and a mound of french fries between two hunks of Italian bread — I know why they made this particular stop, and I'm not hating on them.
Last September, I took a digital storytelling course at the Poynter Institute in St. Petersburg, Fla. We had to do a 2-minute story on the topic of our choice. We were 5 minutes away from the Albert Whitted Airport, so I decided that's where my story was. After I shot my video, I went upstairs for lunch. It was one of the best — and most reasonably priced — meals of my life. I had a chicken/sun-dried tomato pasta with fresh bread that I still dream about to this day.
Another great airport restaurant is Enrique's at the Ponca City, OK, airport. Their chips and salsa are to die for, and you must try the Chicken Huarache. When I went to Learn To Fly Day last year at Frederick (MD) Municipal Airport, I had a great — and cheap — lunch at the Airport Diner. The view of the runway was a bonus!
On the commercial side, I give high marks to Chicago Midway's food concourse. You get a real feel of Chicago with its great mix of local food institutions, like Gold Coast Dogs, Lalo's Mexican Restaurant, Pegasus on the Fly and Nuts on Clark.
So what am I missing? What commercial and GA airports offer the best meal options?

WSVN -- In so many cases it is true, like mother like daughter.
Delora Ford: "Yeah, I am very goal oriented and I think girl scouts has a lot to do with it."
Delora loved being in the Girl Scouts not surprisingly, so do her girls, and they all appreciate what the Scouts teach them.
Delora Ford: "And that is basically the leaderships skills and how to strive for something to reach goals."
Amy Ford: "I'm Amy."
Rachel Ford: "I'm Rachel."
Amy and Rachel have been in the Girl Scouts since they were young. Enjoying it all, including the annual everybody loves to eat them Girl Scout cookie sale.
Delora Ford: "Everyone looks forward to it. Their excited it I think the customers get more excited than the girls."
The cookies are on sale for a month and this year Amy had a goal.
Amy Ford: "And my mom Rachel only wanted to do it for three weeks, but like I said I wanted to stick to my goal. I wanted to sell 2,000 boxes, so I asked if I can do it for the 4th week and my mom said yes."
The girl who sells 2,000 boxes of cookies gets an ipad. If you sell 1,000 you get a Nikon camera.
Rachel Ford: "What we did was sell 1,050 and so I gave her 500 of mine and I just kept the."
Rachel's generous gesture, giving her sister credit for her 500 boxes enabled Amy to be invited to an awards ceremony.
Delora Ford: "So this is like our first time."
Delora was so proud of her daughter she let the Girl Scout council know how they had used teamwork to achieve the award. The councils response..
Delora Ford: "They took away the invitation for Amy to be recognize as an extreme team member. They took away all the prizes."
In the Girl Scout councils eyes, Rachel sold 500 boxes, Amy sold 500 and one sister could not give her sales to the other.
Amy Ford: "I just feel like really depressed. I worked so hard to reach the goal we both did. I think they were heart broken."
The girls are disappointed they wont be able to share a camera. Delora is irritated especially after reading the paperwork for the cookie sale where it never says they cannot work together.
Delora Ford: "And they said nothing about having individual sales so I don't think its fair."
Well Howard, here is all the paperwork scouts are given before the cookie sale. Does it block two sisters from combining their sales, so one can be an award winner?
Howard Finkelstein: "Yes, the Girl Scouts can block the sisters from combining their sales. The paperwork does not say that but it implies it and the organization has the right to set their rules for awarding their prizes. However, if I were them, I would write clearly that you cannot combine individual sales."
When we contacted the Girl Scouts of Southeast Florida, a representative told us that they dont think its fair to other scouts for the sisters to be allowed to combine their sales.
The representative told us there is no written rule against combining sales but they have always intended it to be individual sales. Finally, Amy wont get the camera for selling a 1,000 boxes, but the sisters will get a blanket and alarm clock for selling 500 boxes each.
Delora Ford: "You know the director wanted me to explain to the girls how they were wrong."
The scouts are convinced the girls were wrong to combine sales. Their mother is equally convinced her girls were right and the Girl Scouts are wrong.
Delora Ford: "It just goes against what were suppose to teach the girls, we suppose to teach them to be courageous and achieve a goal and this goes totally against it."
Patrick Fraser: "Now, the girls thought they were doing the right thing in combining sales but the position of the Girl Scouts makes sense because three or four sisters or friends could almost guarantee they would win the individual prize, while a girl who works alone would stand no chance against them. Of course, if they give a prize for eating the cookies, I might win even competing against a team."
A sweet solution out of your reach? Need someone to scout out a solution? Contact us, we'll try to help and wont be satisfied with simply saying thats the way the cookie crumbles.

Alarm Chronograph with INDIGLO Backlight
Great quality EL Backlight on this Aqua (Timex)
After 8 years of sleeping without battery in my safe, the EL Backlight is working nicely without any darker spots nor areas. Yes, I store USD 9.99 watches in the safe too, I would miss this Aqua as much as any other watch from my collection, because it has a great sentimental value having bought it in Ohio and it was one of the very first Indiglo watches produced at a very low price. One of the very first Indiglo watches from Timex is here, I had bought it in 1993 in Prague.

LAS VEGAS -- Clark County school teachers and staff are being asked to weigh in on budget cuts in the district.
A nearly 600-seat auditorium at Green Valley High School was filled to capacity Monday night as around 1,000 people showed up to get their point across to lawmakers. They voiced their concerns about the $275 million in budget cuts the school district is facing.
There will be town hall meetings on the budget cuts on Tuesday, March 15, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the following schools.
"We heard loud and clear from the teachers and the community what these cuts would do their children in the classroom," said Ruben Murillo, president of the Clark County Education Association and a teacher.
"You will have the core of an apple. If an apple represents public education, you will end up with a core and what happens to that core, it decays and rots."
An internal survey was sent to CCSD staff Monday. There are 26 questions. Teachers and staff are being asked to select that they feel should be cut to meet the deficit. For example, eliminating athletic programs would save the district $6.4 million.
Read the Survey
"I am a little disappointed that survey went out so quickly, I understand they have to get information, but it's not over until it's over," said Murillo.
"I don't know that you can continue to cut and cut and expect to have an improved education system," said Carolyn Edwards, CCSD trustee president.
Edwards was at the meeting and hopes state leaders deliver the worries from Southern Nevada to Carson City. "I don't know if we could make these cuts without affecting the classroom and I don't think it's the right way to go," said Edwards.
Someone who wasn't at the hearing was Governor Brian Sandoval and that didn't score well with the teachers union. They say he should attend or have a representative there on his behalf.
The Governor's office did respond saying, "No one wants to make education cuts and these decisions are certainly difficult but there is growing agreement that education reforms must move forward."
There is a protest against cuts in education planned on Sunday on the Las Vegas Strip that's scheduled to start at noon in front of the Bellagio fountains.

During a called meeting Tuesday, the Walker County Board of Education approved four school days that will make up for the six the district missed because of inclement weather.
County Superinten-dent Jason Adkins announced students will come to class on Presidents' Day and two weather days the system put in place for such occasions — April 14 and 15. The district's graduation day — May 27 — will be extended from a half day to a full day, and a scheduled inservice on that date will be moved to the following Saturday.
Adkins said the days were chosen after receiving input from the Walker County Education Association, a local group affiliated with the Alabama Education Association.
Adkins said county school officials are still discussing options for making up the two remaining days missed because of weather.
Jasper City Schools Superintendent Robert Sparkman said his district will make up the three days it missed by using one weather day — April 25 — and adding two extra days to the end of the school year — May 26 and 27. However, Walker High School's graduation ceremony will still be held on May 26, he said.
Sparkman said the arrangement leaves the school district with another weather day, which is good because "we still have some winter to go."
Both Adkins and Sparkman said extra days will likely be added to the end of the year if bad weather causes more school closings. Both superintendents said that having school in session on Saturdays often adds costs to districts due to overtime for hourly workers.
Adkins said education officials work hard to create an arrangement that causes the least disruption to parents, teachers and students.
"You just have to make them up the best way you can," he said.

Disparities in Mammography Screening in the Rural South
Study Section:
Breast Cancer Disparities
Scientific Abstract:
Access to mammography screening facilities is essential to ensuring regular screening, which identifies many breast cancers at an early stage when treatment is curative. Two recent reports suggest that access to screening facilities is adequate, but our preliminary study in Texas showed that poor access in rural areas was associated with low screening rates and a high proportion of breast cancers diagnosed at an advanced stage. Based on the large racial/ethnic minorities in these counties, we hypothesized that poor access to screening accounts for some the disparate burden of breast cancer among minority women. But we were unable to examine this issue because there were too few rural minority women with cancer in a single state. Thus, we have secured the cooperation of 13 state cancer registries in the South to ensure an adequate sample. We will link data about mammography facility locations to census, screening, and cancer case data at the county level. We will then examine the associations between presence of an in-county mammography facility and screening rates in women over age 40 and rates of non-invasive and advanced (Stage IV) breast cancer. We will use areal data models to examine spatial patterns of screening and cancer incidence, measured as age-standardized incidence rates. A Poisson lognormal model will be used in cases where observed or expected screening or incidence rates are close to 0. Analyses will compare rural and urban counties and racial and ethnic minorities. Using these methods we also will examine the magnitude of the impact of lack of access to a screening facility on screening and advanced cancer rates as well as the degree to which lack of access accounts for racial/ethnic disparities in rates. If our preliminary results are confirmed, we will be able to target counties for placement of mammography facilities to reduce this disparity.
Lay Abstract:
Regular mammography screening is essential to identifying breast cancers at an early stage when treatment is most likely to be curative. Access to mammography facilities is the first step to universal screening. Our preliminary analysis of access to facilities in Texas showed that half of the counties had no facility, screening rates in counties without facilities were very low, and women in these counties who developed breast cancers were more likely to be diagnosed at an advanced stage. Most counties without facilities had large minority populations and were rural. We reasoned that poor access to screening facilities would account for some of the disparity in later stage of diagnosis among rural minority women. But the number of breast cancers among rural minority women in one state is too small to examine this issue. We will partner with the state cancer registries in 13 states in the South to examine access to screening mammography and its impact on screening rates and the stage of breast cancer at diagnosis. We will focus particular attention on rural minority populations because they are disadvantaged by rural residence as well as low education, high poverty, and lack of healthcare insurance.

OMAHA (KPTM) – 28 people went to an Omaha hospital since the snow started to fall on Thursday. They were hurt from slips and falls to snow blower accidents and even shoveling snow.
Adam Erickson tells Fox 42 News it doesn't snow like this in Great Britain. He still hasn't gotten used to the amount of snow here in Nebraska. He was just finishing up shoveling snow of the sidewalks of his corner house lot. During his time shoveling he was taking extra safety measures trying to prevent injuries.
"I try to bend down and lift with my knees but that is not always possible," he said.
Physical Therapists say this is the best way to prevent hurting your back. They warn against twisting your body with the snow in the shovel. Instead they say to step forward and push the snow away from you.
Gib Willert is a professor of physical therapy at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. He tells Fox 42 News its all about the right form.
"Use good form and you're not bending at the back you are bending at the hips and knees that is less of an issue," he said.
Paying attention to your surroundings while you are shoveling is also important. Never turn your back to the street to prevent being hit by a passing car or snowplow truck.
Willert also has a better idea.
"If your back is bothering you, hire a teenager, get a younger back, that is what I like to do," he said.

A Henrico police officer is recovering after being hit by a car while responding to a call on Derbyshire Road between Gaskins and Parham roads.
Orange paint is a haunting reminder for neighbors living in this West End community, marking the spot where an officer was struck by a car in the line of duty.
"It's a devastating, horrible, horrible incident," said one neighbor who doesn't want to be identified. She says she heard the officer get hit, which is a memory she'll never forget.
"A big thud. A very big thud," noted the neighbor. "Somebody was hurt. You could hear the crying, the moaning."
Henrico Police say a car hit the uniformed officer while he was crossing Derbyshire Road near North Mooreland Road around 11:00 p.m. Saturday, while he was responding to a noise complaint from a party.
"Eight cars in that front yard and these people continued to party with somebody lying in the middle of the road," said the neighbor.
With the exception of this street light, neighbors say it's very dark on this part of the road and the rain made visibility even worse.
Police say Henrico Fire and Rescue crews rushed the 12-year veteran to the hospital. Even though police say the driver didn't appear to be speeding or drinking, neighbors say many drivers rarely obey the 35 MPH speed limit.
"The speed on Derbyshire is uncontrollable," neighbors added. "The county does not seem to want to do anything. They put up a traffic light and it has not changed."
The officer was seriously injured, but officers say he should make a full recovery.
"I'm glad to know, but you know what he's go to live with; the memories and what happened," said a neighbor.
Police are still investigating the wreck but so far no charges have been filed.

Recently, the Dutch powerhouse told a Polish news site that after the Strikeforce Grand Prix, he hopes to either face the UFC champ or box one of the Klitschko brothers. Older brother Vitali is the current WBC heavyweight champion while Wladimir is WBA, IBF, IBO, WBO and Ring Magazine world champion.
Overeem will appear on Monday's edition of The MMA Hour at 1 pm ET to further discuss his hopes of boxing either of the Klitschkos, but prior to that, he released a statement to MMA Fighting regarding his desires. The full text is after the jump.
Statement from Alistair Overeem:
"I would love to fight one of the Klitschko brothers. I think it will be great to see how one combat sport world champion will do against another world champion. There are many reasons to challenge him: boxing has been the No. 1 combat sport for years and MMA is growing and closing the gap with boxing. I would like to bring both worlds together by being the first MMA and K-1 champion to cross over into boxing.
There are many boxers that have competed in K-1 or MMA but vice versa, it's something that has not been done yet, so why not? I always like to challenge myself. I like to try new things. I know that a lot of people will call me crazy and will think that a boxing champion will have the full advantage. I'm fully aware that I'm the underdog going into the fight, but that was the same thing when I fought K-1 champion Badr Hari. People thought I was foolish to even try to fight such a name as an MMA fighter, but I took the chance and I defeated him. Two years later, I was crowned the K-1 champion.
If you don't try, then you will never know. Nobody has ever seen two combat champions fight in a boxing match so I think that I have the credentials to try. My current contract allows me to fight another sport so now I can do it. The last reason I can think of is that I know that Klitschko doesn't have many challenges in boxing anymore. The heavyweight division isn't very interesting anymore, so maybe I can give some color to the division and make for an exciting fight. If I look at the David Haye vs Wladimir Klitschko fight, I was a little disappointed. Klitschko was much better. No disrespect to Haye, but I truly believe I can make a more exciting fight, win or lose. As a true fan of MMA, I always liked the concept to see different combat sports fighting it out, so I'm going to make a bold statement and challenge Klitschko under his rules and his terms. I'm not in any way trying to disrespect him by challenging him, but he and I know this fight will not go to a decision!
It's up to the fans' response. I only want to fight him if there is support in both boxing and MMA communities. If the fans want it, I'm in!"

The average cost to a household is about twenty cents a week. Most households use about 300 liters of water a day. In many cases in poor areas, people continue to use less satisfactory sources (e.g., irrigation ditches, nearby rivers, or unsanitary dugwells) of water for irrigation and washing, and save the piped water for cooking, washing, food and bathing.
The wells are either shallow or deep bore wells with surface mounted centrifugal pumps, and submersible pumps for deeper wells or for areas where frequent flooding is a problem. They are sealed, so they cannot be contaminated by polluted ground water during flood season. After it is properly treated, the water is pumped up to an overhead storage tank, where it flows via gravity to the beneficiary households.
If substantial maintenance is needed, EMW's water or construction teams will go to the village and help to repair the problem. EMW also provides ongoing training and supervision of the commune or hamlet water managers, in order to help the systems become more self-sustaining.
Upon completion, about 4-6 months after the project has been approved, a ceremony is held to open the system and dedicate it in honor of the donor. While this is an opportunity for corporate publicity, more importantly it is an unforgettable experience of visiting the thankful people in a hamlet changed forever by the generous donations of our sponsors.

Scientists shed light on genetic eye abnormality that makes eyes slow to adjust to brightness
Study described in the Jan. 1 issue of Nature
Researchers from the three laboratories located at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary - the Ocular Molecular Genetics Institute (Thaddeus Dryja, Koji Nishiguchi, and Stephanie Hagstrom), the Berman-Gund Laboratory for the Study of Retinal Degenerations (Eliot Berson and Michael Sandberg), and the Howe Laboratory (Vadim Arshavsky and Kirill Martemyanov) - and from the Department of Ophthalmology at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands (Aart Kooijman and Jan Willem Pott), recently discovered a biologic basis for slow adaptation to light in some individuals. The photoreceptor cells in the eyes of normal individuals quickly respond to light and also quickly recover after exposure to light. Theoretically, it is possible to have a defect in either the activation or the deactivation of the photoreceptor's light response. In the past, many defects in the activation phase have been found, and these typically lead to marked abnormalities in vision. This is the first report of patients with a problem with the deactivation of photoreceptors.
"In 1991, in the Netherlands, some patients were identified with abnormal recovery from the influence of strong light flashes. For example, they reported difficulty in playing ball games because they could not see a moving ball. With sudden changes in luminance, like that caused by going from inside to outside on a sunny day, these patients are essentially blind for five to 10 seconds," said Kooijman from the University of Groningen. While some patients with cataracts can have related symptoms, these individuals had no cataracts.
"We found that their symptoms are due to defects in proteins that normally function to deactivate photoreceptors after exposure to light. The disease was due to mutations in the gene encoding these proteins," said Dryja from the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary and the David Glendenning Cogan Professor of Ophthalmology at Harvard Medical School.
There is no cure for this condition; however, dark glasses to reduce exposure to bright light appear to be helpful. Those who experience extreme difficulty in adjusting to changes in light should consult with their physician. While the authors believe that these gene defects are uncommon, their discovery may provide clues to the basis for the milder difficulties that many individual experience when trying to adapt to changes in light intensity.

- excellent plane Review by big mim i230
- Good jet glider Review by Jd
- ESC failed on second flight. Review by SLM
- Great RR plane Review by Luscombepilot
Initial flights away from the slope went great without issues or a crash but there was a lot of guffawing from the peanut gallery because the wings flex so much. Have only flown it in high winds so far, and I believe it would be still more fun in calmer winds. Slopes okay but not great in high winds. Doesn't really penetrate that well and the long flexible wings are just strange in turbulence. Going to reinforce the wings with shipping tape or maybe even strips of carbon fiber and add rudder control for this weekend. Great plane to have. (Posted on 4/10/13)
- excelent value Review by cuda-daddy
2nd = the elevator and vertical stabilizer attach to the fuselage with double sided tape and i have already broken off half of my elevator so repairing the elevator is a challenge.
3rd = i almost ripped the fuselage apart trying to remove the canopy. its not just magnetic, there are magnets and a slight lip on the canopy also. the side of the canopy , where the screws are , must be pulled away from the fuselage and then lifted up .
Now, despite all of that i still give it 5 stars because i feel the cost makes it all o.k. if you have some experience working with foam this is a easy plane to work on and mod and flying with the 2200mah is possible also, yes its a little nose heavy but that doesn't bother me at all. i also use some tape to keep the wings secure to the fuse but still easy to disassemble when needed. the tape will take some paint off when you remove it but that doesn't bother me. i will buy another 1 or two when they become available.

- get what you pay for Review by terry
- Why did they use old Futaba - type plugs on the Rx connectors? Review by Big O
- Working on it Review by Big O
Ran the fan with the 2200 mAH Li-Po pack as it came out of the package, not charged yet. The thrust, noise and amount of air blowing out the tail pipe were very impressive. I couldn't charge the battery because I have an E-flite charger that came with a charge cord for a different connector. I will pick up a new cord or adapter at the Riverside store today.
You did not answer the questions about where the decals go (there is no picture or diagram to show this). Also how to color in the white spots where the paint came off. Also, why it is so much heavier than claimed in the instructions, and why no protective landing skid. (Posted on 11/23/12)
- Can't get the canopy off! Help!! Review by Big O
Put your fingers under the canopy at the point where the screws are and lift and move canopy to the side. The canopy is held by magnets this should allow enough separation to remove canopy. Let me know if this helps. Matt
I tried to carefully remove the canopy, but it resists a pull that is hard enough that my finger rubbed off some of the black coating on the fuselage. What is the secret? Must I remove the four screws? Its supposed to be a magnetic latch. Can I color the rubbed off spots with black marker pen, or will that attack the foam?
Where do the decals go? Do you know that the parts furnished weigh more than the total flight weight claimed in the manual, even before you add a Rx and battery? I looked in the tailpipe, and the high performance fan appears to be made of bent sheet metal! Shouldn't there be a skid or some tape to protect the bottom when it lands on pavement? Please answer soon, so I can fly it with the grandchildren on Thanksgiving. (Posted on 11/20/12)
- Very nice airplane Review by wings54
I enlarged the cooling air inlet and am planning to add a wheel. . I am going to add rudder control too. The plane should have had provisions for this and should have had a wheel. That's why only four stars. Great plane though..

The Colorado Avalanche didn't lose any ground in the chase for the eight spot in the Western Conference playoff standings, but they didn't gain any either with Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Vancouver Canucks. With the current occupant Phoenix Coyotes and Calgary Flames off on Wednesday, the Avalanche are still three points away from a playoff spot.
Colorado allowed a David Booth goal just 13 seconds into the game, but that was the only goal allowed by Jean-Sebastien Giguere -- he left the game with a groin injury during the first period. Semyon Varlamov took over in net and kept the Canucks off the board until the third period.
Avalanche defenseman Erik Johnson netted his third goal of the season at 10:20 in the second period to tie the game at 1. The Canucks, however, struck back in the third period with goals by Jannik Hansen and Alex Burrows.
Varlamov filled in nicely for the Avalanche just allowing one goal while in net. He made 20 saves on 21 shots. Roberto Luongo was just a bit better and made 29 saves on 30 shots.

Cloudy but dry day in store
7:47am Tuesday 20th March 2012 in News
The sun will struggle to break through today as south London and Surrey face up to a cloudy but dry day.
Met Office forecasters have predicted a warm day despite the sun struggling to break the cloudy start commuters have woken up to.
A forecaster said: "Generally cloudy and dry, but despite the limited sunny intervals it will become rather warm.
"This afternoon a few very light showers may develop near the south coast. Maximum temperature 14C."
As the evening draws in, clear periods may develop, before overnight cloud gathers with a possible patchy mist to form. Minimum temperature 5C.
Tomorrow is expected to start cloudy, with sunny spells occurring, especially in the afternoon.
"Rather warm, away from cooler coastal areas where patchy fog will arrive," the forecaster added.
Maximum temperature 14C.
