Chrismahanukwanzakah is coming!Posted: November 18, 2011 Filed under: Design, Inspiration 1 Comment
Now that
the best holiday Halloween is out of the way, with its pumpkins, costumes and candy, we can spend some downtime with family and friends. It's time to make way for shopping, gift giving (and receiving!), baking and eating, as we usher out 2011 and welcome 2012. There are only 44 days until the start of a the new year and only 37 sleeps until Santa.
To help you source images for all of your Chrismahanukwanzakah-related projects, such as greeting cards, holiday e-cards, mailers or company newsletters, we've gathered some of our favourite Holiday images into a lightbox (we call them 'collections').
If you use any of our images in your work, we'd love to see what you've created. Send us a .JPG or PDF of your design with a brief description of your project and we'll feature it on our blog.
If you want to find additional images for your holiday campaigns, try broad seasonal searches, such as Winter, Christmas or New Year's or search for themes like holiday, harvest, or family.

This is HalloweenPosted: October 4, 2011 Filed under: Design, Inspiration 3 Comments
From sparkly fairy princesses to sparkly vampires (Edward!), from foggy nights to creatures howling at the moon, from candy corn to jack-o'-lanterns — I can honestly say Halloween is my favourite holiday – and has been since I was a kid. (Yes, really. Even better than waiting for Santa.) Oh and plus there's chocolate!
To help you celebrate the season and create any Halloween-related projects, be they flyers, blog posts, mailers or web banners, we've gathered some of our favourite Halloween related images into a collection.
If you use any of our images in your work, we'd love to see what you've created. Send us a .JPG or PDF of your design with a brief description of your project and we could feature it on our blog.

Put A Bird On It!Posted: June 8, 2011 Filed under: Design, Inspiration 5 Comments
Taking inspiration from the natural world has been the norm for artists for hundreds of years.
It's also a huge trend now to incorporate birds, animals, plants and even insects into your designs.
From greeting cards and shopping bags to linens and wallpaper, birds are flying everywhere in both product design and interior decorating! It's a trend that's been covered on many blogs and interior design magazines over the past few months.
Inspired by this quirky (and funny!) video from Portlandia, we put together a collection featuring our favourite flying friends in this lightbox for you to use as inspiration in your own designs.

College of Business and Public Administration Ranked 17th in World for Publishing in International Business Journals
A recent study published in the prestigious Asia Pacific Journal of Management ranks Old Dominion University 17th in the world among universities with the most prolific authors in leading international business journals.
The study examines how scholarly submissions for publication in international business journals can serve as indicators for which educational institutions will take the lead in international business scholarship. In addition to the overall ranking of universities, the study ranks individual authors.
John Ford, professor of marketing at ODU and president-elect of the Academy of Marketing Science, is ranked fifth for his publications in the journal International Marketing Review and 85th for his publications overall in the top six international business journals.
Anusorn Singhapakdi, also a professor of marketing at ODU, ranks 29th among the most prolific authors for his publications in International Marketing Review.
"We know that the faculty in the College of Business and Public Administration are outstanding scholars. It's wonderful, then, when we receive external validation as in this study. International business is part of our mission and this study proves that we have some of the top faculty in the world discovering new knowledge in this important area," said Nancy Bagranoff, dean of ODU's College of Business and Public Administration.

Fortran developer John Backus dies
John W Backus, team leader of the original FORTRAN development team at IBM, died on 17 March at the respectable age of 82. I never met John Backus, but he was responsible for changing my life – and probably that of many other scientific programmers of my generation. I was at the Research School of Chemistry at the Australian …
A true hackers' hero
I cut my programming teeth on FORTRAN IV, and I used FORTRAN for many years to solve astronomy research problems, so I owe a debt of gratitude to John Backus.
The obituary over at the New York Times reveals the character of the man behind the legend. During the development of FORTRAN at IBM, it says: "I.B.M. had a system of rigid yearly performance reviews, which Mr. Backus deemed ill-suited for his programmers, so he ignored it."
Thanks for that link to Backus the man... My memory of IBM techies generally, even in the 1980s, is that they were nowhere near as stuffy as the "grey suits" legends would suggest. In IBM, technical excellence excused a lot!


text: It seems today with your New Year's post I have found a kindred spirit. Thank you for your "ramble of thoughts and words". You graciously put into words what I have felt in my heart for years. I too am a free-spirit; a gypsy of sorts, and at times it's been hard to reconcile this with being a follower of Christ, but I believe He has made me who I am and allows for my personality and maybe even sometimes delights in it. In raising my children, sometimes I question if I did the right things – I have definitely allowed and delighted in their personalities and perhaps indulged a bit too much in their quirks, but I love everything about them with every fiber of my being. Even though they are choosing to live a life different than I would have chosen for them, I celebrate their individuality and I know God delights in them as well. God wants us to be joyous and free – and why shouldn't we be? We have been forgiven and redeemed through our Lord Jesus Christ! While my life isn't perfect, and self-doubt creeps in occasionally, I live in a constant state of God's grace and mercy, and because of this I have joy! Thanks again for your post.

If you're a fan of long fingernails you've probably already developed special techniques for using touchscreen devices. But Sri Vellanki, the creator of a fingertip stylus called Tech Tips, feels women shouldn't be limited to what technology they can use because of their fashion choices. So she's developed a touchscreen-friendly fingernail that works like a high-precision stylus. Available sometime in May in packs of up to six for about $10, the Nano Nails hide a tiny capacitive tip under the index fingernail that can be detected by a touchscreen just like a fingertip. It's all but invisibile unless you're looking for it. They save you from having to carry a separate stylus, and since they're glued to your finger they're always at the ready. There is apparently a slight learning curve as you get used to using the proper angle for the capacitive tip to make contact with the display.
'Nano Nails' to Add Stylus-Like Ability to Fingernails

The Phoenix Suns have named Lindsey Hunter interim head coach on Sunday as they attempt to improve on a 13-28 start to the season.
Hunter was the player development coordinator for the Suns and played 17 seasons in the NBA for the Pistons, Bucks, Lakers, Raptors and Bulls.
The Suns parted ways with Alvin Gentry on Friday after Phoenix opened the season with the worst record in the Western Conference. Gentry was in the final year of his contract and described the decision as a "mutual agreement" between himself and the team.
Gentry spent the past nine seasons with the Phoenix Suns organization and has been the team's head coach since the last half of the 2009 season. Gentry posted a 158-144 record as head coach and most notably was two games away from leading the Suns to the NBA Finals in 2010 before the team ultimately fell to the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference finals.
The Suns' next game is on Wednesday against the Sacramento Kings.

@MISC{Cimatti99conformantplanning, author = {A. Cimatti and M. Roveri}, title = { CONFORMANT PLANNING VIA MODEL CHECKING }, year = {1999}}
Conformant planning is the problem of finding a sequence of actions that is guaranteed to achieve the goal for any possible initial state and nondeterministic behavior of the planning domain. In this paper we present a new approach to conformant planning. We propose an algorithm that returns the set of all conformant plans of minimal length if the problem admits a solution, otherwise it returns with failure. Our work is based on the planning via model checking paradigm, and relies on symbolic techniques such as Binary Decision Diagrams to compactly represent and eciently analyze the planning domain. The algorithm, called cmbp, has been implemented in the mbp planner. cmbp is strictly more expressive than the state of the art conformant planner cgp. Furthermore, an experimental evaluation suggests that cmbp is able to deal with uncertainties more efficiently than cgp.

Nikolai Khabibulin's legal woes will not be resolved until the end of September as his defense team continues to push for a trial by a jury. The judge today said that he would set a date later this week and if Khabibulin wants a jury trial, he will have to wait until September 29th. This sets up all kinds of interesting subplots for the Oilers.
Should Khabibulin fail to report to camp, Tyler at MC79Hockey thinks that there is a slight - emphasis on slight - chance that the Oilers may be able to get out of the contract for breach of contract. If Khabibulin is convicted, there are even more scenarios to consider - six months of jail time, thirty days of jail time, a felony that would prevent him from moving freely between the United Stats and Canada... the list is rife with possibilities for a very funny column by Ben.
There's always the possibility that Khabibulin sees the Long Term Injured Reserve list, seeing as how even his doctor says he's well behind schedule in his rehabilitation, though Steve Tambellini said that everything was just fine with "Nik". One thing is certain - the three-headed goalie monster is back in Edmonton. Khabibulin's uncertain status means that Jeff Deslauriers and Devan Dubnyk will start the season on the roster with Khabibulin.

That's what the Idea Channel posits…
We all know who the Mario Brothers are but have you ever stepped back and tried looking at those games from a fresh perspective? Like you've never seen or heard of them before? They're bananas! There are armored
turtles who stand on their hind legs and steal princesses! There are bullets with FACES! We make a case for Mario's inclusion into a canon of art wider than "Video Game": we think Mario is a piece of surrealist artwork.
I have to say I think they lay out a fairly compelling case. Enjoy…

Summer campers not put off by cooler weather and look forward to Fall adventures.
LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) - Warming temperatures this week have many thinking back to last year's thaw and the impact that had on business that rely on bad weather. "Last year was like the worst ive seen in 30 years," said David Hidy. "This season has been terrible and after last year I thought this year was going to be gang busters. And it's turned out to be actually worse than the last season."2012's lack of winterery conditions took a 30 percent hit on his business. Even with time left in this oen, he's close to that number again."We have all these trucks ready, gassed up, license plates, maintenance and when they're sitting, it's costing me. When they're working, it takes quite a few plows and salting to even break even," Hidy adds.
Hidy says it's not just his paycheck that's on the line, but all of his employess, too. That's why he's hoping to see a turn around next month.
"It can nice one day and bad the next and of course, I count on the worst days," he says.

The Many Faces Of Labrador Breeders
Article to follow after answering the email below
Hello Mr Herzon
I hope that you can clarify something that is very confusing for me. I have been searching for a Labrador puppy for over a year now. I have researched on the Internet dozens and dozens of websites and have contacted many of those breeders for more information. What confuses me the most is how many different types of breeders there are! Some list themselves as Show Breeders, some as Champion Breeders, others as Top Breeders, a few as non-commercial breeders, many as hobby breeders and many other titles that are too numerous to list in this email.
Could you tell me what type of breeder you are and what all those other titles mean?
Stephanie and all the others that have emailed in with very similar
questions, especially after the article
I too am as perplexed as you are and as are all the others that have emailed asking the same questions. Me being confused about something to do with Labradors is saying a lot; because I pride myself on all that is Labradors and the tremendous amount of knowledge and experience that I have accumulated in these last 40 years with the breed. There is no uniformity whatsoever to adequately label the status of anyone breeding dogs.
Since I too am a person with multiple personalities (not the afflicted kind, but more from a necessity of life situation and of course from my personal choice), I speak and waggishly write from personal experience. I present for your scrutiny those multiple personas that I assume on a daily/weekly basis!
* 9 Generations of bred-by champions!!!!!!
* 23 home-bred champions,
* an AKC BEST IN SHOW winner, one of only 2 Labradors born in Florida to win an AKC Best In Show!!
* several BEST IN SHOW Puppy winners,
* multiple Top 25 National rankings,
* multiple Eukanuba Qualifiers,
* more Purina Breeders Showcase winners than all the other breeders in Florida put together,
* several Westminster competitors,
* more Winners Dog and Winners Bitch winners in Florida than all the other breeders combined.
* in 2010 we have won the Winners Bitch award at 75% of the shows!!!!!
* More IABCA champions, now totaling 77 Int. Champions, with 17 IABCA BEST IN SHOW winners.
* More UKC champions than all the other Florida breeders combined
* 2 National TOP-10 UKC champions in 1 year.
* Do we need to go any further?
As you can attest from my braggadocio-like testimonial above, I too delve into the MPD game, however I back it all up with documented proof and results as detailed at the website.
So, I present the following trifling, yet informative rendition; of course those reading it must take it with the old time-honored grano salis!!
The Many Faces Of A Labrador Breeder
"The Three Faces Of Eve" a real life case study by Thigpen and Cleckly was adapted into a movie in 1957 and was a required reading book for Psychology 201 back in my old college days. The book was an actual case documentation of a woman who suffered from MPD (multiple personality disorder), she had three distinct and identifiable entities; now a day we call that affliction, schizophrenia.
Later in the mid 70's another movie adaptation presented us with another woman named Sybil. She totally raised the ante on Eve by accumulating 16 distinctive personalities!
Schizophrenia became a household word as more and more cases were recognized and documented, so much so that it became very popular as a defense strategy in crime cases all over the country. Of course there were real instances of multiple personality disorder and there were also contrived cases for legal haggling.
So right about now you may be wondering what MPD has to do with the Labrador world? Plus, I'm sure that there are some that are reading this offering that are cringing, thinking about where I am going with this!
Ah, cringe and angst no longer because this article has to do with "multiple" people breeding Labradors in general and no one in particular, although inferences may be viably made to some notorious dabblers out there! So, the article deals with assumed names, aliases and identities that people accrue to pass off their imagined status and of course to sell their wares!
The advertising states "Champion Labrador Breeders" or "Show Labrador Breeder", in fact there are a myriad of descriptive labels used by many breeding dogs that can be very misleading to say the least, most crafted purposely by puppy purveyors to entice the unsuspecting puppy buyers with their produce for sale. Because contrary to what anyone says, all those folk breeding dogs have to at one point or another become "commercial" in order to market their product! The only way to avoid being commercial is to freely give your puppies away and I haven't seen or heard of any of those breeding Labradors doing any of that! You take money for your puppies; you are now in the ranks of the commercial entrepreneurs, there is just no way to circumvent this reality no matter how rose-colored the glasses are worn by the dream weavers.
Ok, now back to the old dusty trail, the meat and potatoes of this essay:
So, we now have people advertising themselves as "Show Breeders" others as "Champion Breeders", and others as "Top Breeders" and as Sonny and Cher would swoon "And The Beat Goes On"………and on and on!!!
Since there are no certifications or qualifications for any of those identities assumed, anyone can advertise with anything they want to and not have to own up to any scrutiny at all. There is no "proof is in the pudding" with the vast majority of people breeding dogs, they can and do profess their acclaim when none is to be had and there is no price to pay for the flagrant deception. The buying public has no way to know what's what and who's who, taking the bait hook, line and sinker as if it were the only way to fish!
I have personally witnessed people brand-spanking new into the breed that have never, ever bred a single litter and they glowingly represent themselves as bonafide "Show Labrador breeders"!!!!! That's like taking fish with a gaffe instead of using the old fishing method mentioned previously.
The operative word here is "breeder" and shouldn't a "breeder" have "bred" at least 1 litter to proclaim themselves as such? How can someone announce to the world that they are a "breeder" and yet never having bred a litter? That's as incongruent as a square peg in a round hole, which is what some of these folk seem to be!
If a person bills themselves as a "champion Labrador breeder" shouldn't the requirement to pass themselves off as such be that they have bred at least 1 champion of their own breeding?
Shouldn't a person advertising themselves as a "Top Show Breeder" have at least won some points on dogs they bred themselves? Merely showing up at a dog show with a dog and then traipsing around the ring with the dog in tow does not make a person a Top Show Breeder.
Oh, the multiple personality deception is endless and mind boggling to say the least! There are way too numerous cast of characters to detail here in this short and quip-filled harangue.
So, in that light (of course tongue-in-cheek), I offer the following jocular guideline for those into the world of breeding Labradors.
I now offer the following list of A.K.A.'s
Let's give these colorful titles some meaning with a job description:
Anyways, so here goes…………….A Coattail Champion Labrador Retriever is one that buys a dog from another breeder and that dog becomes an AKC champion! So now the person is an owner of an AKC champion and they decide to breed that dog. Technically, they are breeding a dog that is a champion of their doing (as in they paid to make the dog a champion, show entries, traveling costs and of course professional handlers)……………but they really had nothing to do to breed that dog, so we will tag them with this new descriptive of being a Coattail Champion Labrador Retriever Breeder since they are riding on the coattails of the original breeder that they bought the dog from. In the dog breeding world it is the consensus of all that the breeder of the dogs is who gets credit as breeder of record of a champion. The owner is recognized as the "owner of a champion".
So, what's in a name or an in identity assumed by any person now has meaningful accreditation. In order for someone to assume an identity, they must pass muster! (By the way, it is officially "pass muster" and not "pass the mustard")
All these folk using all these assumed aliases, pseudo names, identities, personas, and whatnot now need to own up and get on the band wagon of A.K.A's (Also Known As).
Since I know the many faces of "breeders" out there and as Borat would say "NOT!"
Like in "not" any of them reading this mild mannered maelstrom would really adhere to any regulations set forth in order to create any uniformity or semblance of order for the puppy buying public. But hey, I laid the gauntlet down and it is up to those to rise to the occasion or to keep playing the "multiple names deception" deceiving the puppy buying public with the aliases, false identities, made-up accreditations, non-existent certifications, acquired statuses and multiple personality disorders.
Of course, with Chambray Labradors and all those fine folk that comprise the Labrador Retrievers Owners Community……………………….no multiple Faces Of Eves here!!!!!
We are what we say and we have the old time honored 'proof is in the flan" to back up all our credentials, accreditations, awards, certifications and status as Top Champion Labrador Breeder.
If you enjoy these diatribes, then check the following out.
As Howard Cosell did, I tell it like it is!
This Michelob's For You!
Keep The Best & Sell The Rest
Home Page
Hello Mr
Stephanie Holtz here. Thank you for emailing me the article before you published it to your site. I enjoyed it tremendously and I felt really honored that you would take the time to explain my confusion and to clarify the state of affairs for me and I guess for others as well.
Mr. Herzon
You have outdone yourself with his article. You are indeed a man of many, many hats and I have to say that you wear them well.
Your "This Michelob's For You" is a communication masterpiece, the sequel "Keep The Best and Sell The Rest" was an expose extraordinaire into the inner workings of what breeders do, but this satirical and as you say "pun in cheek" essay is hilarious, informative as always and once again eye-opening to those that are not part of the machinery.
You are a credit to the community and a gift to the breed.
Delores Reisen
Thank you to all that have emailed, called or talked to me in person about all 3 of the articles and about all the other offerings at the website. Without your interest and feedback there would be no need for me to share any information with anyone. As you can see from the latest article, I am extremely busy with my family, my own dogs and then all of those owners and dogs that comprise the Labrador Owners Community. By the way, the Labrador Owners Community now numbers close to 100 very dedicated owners, mostly in Florida and others throughout the country! So for me to take the time (I really don't know from where) sit at a computer and put my thoughts down on paper (actually a screen), says a lot about my commitment to the breed and of course to all those that have joined our community of Labrador lovers.
Keep the feedback coming, ask questions and it will give me the fuel to think, sit and peck away at the keyboard!!!!

Heavy adventure bikes are pointless, you're more likely to damage yourself when you drop them. So while this bike is less pointless than the 1200 GS, it is still pretty useless for proper off-roading unless you're so skilled that you'll never drop it

Hold on... Triumph built a bike to tackle the 800GS... your own rating gave the XC only one star out of 26 more than the BMW so they were pretty much equal... now BMW have upped the anti... the overall spec (& I suspect price) on this bike is way above that of the XC, ultimately only down on power (but up on torque), which it's most likely to be on a same CC twin v triple... ?

You do all realize that the 'Adventure' sector is different to the 'DualSport' sector which is different to the 'off-road' sector right?
IMHO the Adventure class is all about flexibility (which of course brings compromise). Yes, I will probably drive on lots of tarmac but there will also be gravel roads, sand, mud etc. I want off-road capability but I also want to go more than 80 miles between filling or more than 20 hours between oil & filter changes. I might want to ride out off road each day from my hotel but sometimes I also want to carry a pillion and all her 'products/shoes'. I want to ride with my sports-bike mates on Sunday but I also want to commute 30 miles each way to work.
And finally - I want to do all that but I only want to buy/tax/service/insure one bike.
Tell me the bikes that fill that list?
"Adventure is not the same [as] offroad [...] I want off-road capability"
Bully for you. However, the vast majority of the sales will be to Walther von Mitty delusionals whose idea of "off road" is the underground car park at the Crimson Permanent Assurance Ltd.
That said, with the state of the roads around here, I'm genuinely keeping an open mind on getting a long travel soft damped bike for tarmac use. But pretending that I could or would ever take it over anything more challenging than a speed hump, I'll leave that to the experts.

Well this is a first. What do the 700cc Honda range and the BMW 800cc range have in common? Really economical engines with insanely stupid teeny weeny tanks that keep the range down rather than add a few kg to the wet weight. This is a break from the herd and in fact is what they should have done with the 800GT (BMW have always been design stuffed by their tank under the seat, finally they gave in). This is a bike you could go distance on, well at least on road and trails. For that tank range alone beemer should be applauded.

They floated down from the sky Sunday — 2,000 mice, wafting on tiny cardboard parachutes over Andersen Air Force Base in the U.S. territory of Guam.
But the rodent commandos didn't know they were on a mission: to help eradicate the brown tree snake, an invasive species that has caused millions of dollars in wildlife and commercial losses since it arrived a few decades ago.
That's because they were dead. And pumped full of painkillers.
The unlikely invasion was the fourth and biggest rodent air assault so far, part of an $8 million U.S. program approved in February to eradicate the snakes and save the exotic native birds that are their snack food.It's not just birds the government is trying to protect. It's also money.
Andersen, like other large industrial complexes on the Western Pacific island, is regularly bedeviled by power failures caused when the snakes wriggle their way into electric substations — an average of 80 a year, costing as much as $4 million in annual repair costs and lost productivity, the Interior Department estimated in 2005.
via usnews.nbcnews.com
OK, I'll give the CBA a try. Let's suppose that the cost of the creepy-drugged-mouse snake eradication program ($8m) consists of eight annual payments of $1m over the next eight years. At 5% discount rate, the present value of the costs is $6.46m.
Now let's consider the benefits. Because the story uses the language 'as much as' $4 million in annual prevented repair costs, I'm going to be super conservative and assume the savings are half that at $2 million per year. If that savings begins after complete eradication of the terrorist snakes (after 8 years) and lasts for 10 years (again being conservative--I could have made this a perpetual savings and really jacked up the benefit number), the present value of the cost savings alone is $10.45m.
And that doesn't even account for the benefits of keeping around the Guamian (is that a word?) exotic birds.

Something for everybody!
By maggie
from newmarket, ontario
I ordered this necklace in brown, as I am a 'fall'on the colour palette, it will be 'well worn'.Eventhough the necklace is substantial (5 strands)thebeads are wooden, so it isn't too heavy to wear.My only concern is the rather unconventional 'clasp'which is basically an open 'hook' which I don't think secures the necklace. It's nice to know that by this purchase, I'm also helping women - a win,win
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great Necklace
By mj

This hand made necklace is great in the marigold color. It is very attractive as it drapes the neck nicely. This line promotes sales assist women in third world countires. It is a very worthwhile cause and the craftmanship is excellent.

Fozzy Whittaker has 4 TDs (3 rushing and 1 receiving), doubling his 2010 output and equaling his 2009 output.
Stats are for losers! Well, I'm an accountant, so sue me. With the bye week coming up, I thought it would be a good time to look at some statistical trends for the offense and see what it means for this team moving forward.
- translation: we're finally putting a talented back in the end zone. I believe all of the rushing scores are out of the Wildcat.
Our top 7 rushers by yardage are not QBs (Brown, Whittaker, Monroe, Bergeron, Johnson, Shipley, Goodwin, THEN Ash)
- translation: A rushing attack not dependent on a QB sounds good to me. Less shots for a primary play caller. A QB has had at least 100 carries and has been our #1 or #2 rusher every year since 2007.
Malcolm Brown had the most rushing yards by a RB (110 yards against UCLA) against an FBS school since Jamaal Charles in the 2007 Holiday Bowl against ASU.
- translation: Production by the RB position against a defense with talent on the field. Makes me feel a lot better heading into conference play.
DJ Grant has the most receiving yards in a season by a TE since Irby's hot start in 2008.
- translation: No more EBS. Production in the passing game for TEs. Grant has always had the talent, now healthy enough to produce.
We all knew what HarsinWhite would bring to the table schematically and with play-calling, but its nice to see the on-field product. The power rushing attack and liberal use of TEs have already yielded results we haven't seen in years. What are some of the trends you're excited about?

" 'We're seeing what we hoped we saw when we drafted him,' Baker said. 'Big, explosive, active kid. Certainly brings a lot of energy. There's nothing timid about the guy. If he makes a mistake, he makes it a hundred miles and hour. Usually he's around the ball when he makes a mistake.' " Good to know! Please stay healthy!! For all that's good in the world, stay healthy!

Wendell B. Harris Jr., 1989
Unlike a lot of films about psychopaths and social deviants, it approaches the unpredictability, charm, and strangeness of the main character. Not having read the book American Psycho or seen the film adaptation, I'm going to hazard a guess that this movie was a major influence.

IOWA CITY, Iowa—Aaron White's 21 points led four Iowa players in double figures as the Hawkeyes beat South Dakota 87-63 Tuesday night from Carver-Hawkeye Arena. It was the first meeting between the two programs since the 1964-65 season.
Roy Devyn Marble scored 14 points, Mike Gesell had 12 and Adam Woodbury had 10 for the Hawks (7-2), which used a 50-31 edge on the boards to put away their under-sized opponent. Iowa used 20 offensive rebounds to net 24 second-chance points.
Trevor Gruis had 16 points and Casey Kasperbauer added 14 for the Coyotes (4-5), which fell to 0-11 all-time against Iowa. Kasperbauer made four of South Dakota's nine three-pointers. Iowa was 2-of-16 from behind the arc, including an 0-for-7 effort in the first half.
South Dakota took its first and only lead at 25-24 following a Karim Rowson free throw with just under eight minutes to go in the first half. Gesell scored eight points during a 21-7 Iowa run to close the first half and the Hawks took a 45-32 lead into the break.
The Coyotes got within 10 following Kasperbauer's third trey of the game early in the second half. A 12-3 Iowa run began with back-to-back hoops by Anthony Clemmons and the Hawks maintained a double-digit lead the rest of the way.

Rajiv Srinivasan: Iraq War Legacy -- Are Today's Vets Better Off?tags: veterans, anniversaries, Iraq War, legacy
On the 10th anniversary of the Iraq invasion, it's time for some perspective on the path we have traveled. We went into Iraq looking for weapons of mass destruction, then to avenge September 11, then to build a foothold of freedom in the Arab world, none of which seemed to materialize. Our military, though the strongest force on earth, was challenged in ways we never thought possible. The front lines disintegrated into an asymmetric war. We realized the shortcomings of "shock and awe" and began pursuing "hearts and minds" instead. But for all the comparisons to the generation at war in Vietnam, today's veterans have a lot more going in their favor than we may appreciate.
The pendulum has swung far from the post-Vietnam era days when there was a clear inability on society's part to separate the soldier from the cause. At Mai Lai, LT Calley served as the example upon which people based their judgments of soldiers. In Iraq, the soldiers involved in Abu Ghraib and Haditha were regarded as anomalies who were simply the bad apples who dishonored the good work the rest of the force was doing....

"Property'" means any real or personal property situated in New Zealand; but does not include the categories of property set out in Schedule 3 of the Fire Service Act, or any property which is the subject of cover under a contract of marine insurance as defined the Act.
Responsibility for calculating and making payment of the New Zealand Fire Service levy depends on how the insurance cover is being arranged.
Where levy is payable by the insured, the forms that should be sent with, or shortly after the payment are as follows:
Where there is a contract of fire insurance covering assets
Form 2, Form 3
Where there is a provision or reserve set aside to cover loss by fire or where there are any other arrangements similar to a contract of fire insurance
Form 4, Form 5
Levy is due on the 15th day of the second month following commencement of the policy. For example, if a policy covers the insurance period 30 June 2010 to 30 June 2011, levy is payable on 15 August 2010, regardless of when the premium is paid.
Whilst the NZFS endeavour to advertise and ensure that people who paid levy in prior years are sent reminder letters, the calculation and payment of levy ultimately falls on the party that is responsible for payment.

For the third day in a row the score between the Peoria Chiefs and the Cedar Rapids Kernels was the same as the home team grabbed another 6-2 victory on Monday night.
The loss drops the Chiefs to 22-34 in the second half and 56-70 overall. The Chiefs grabbed their first lead of the series in the top of the first inning against P.J. Jang.
Peoria scored five off Jang in the first on August 7 but settled for just one on Monday. After Taiwan Easterling was caught stealing second, Anthony Giansanti singled up the middle and moved to second on a wild pitch. Richard Jones pulled a single into right-field for his 88th RBI of the season and a 1-0 Chiefs lead.
Giansanti threw out a runner at the plate to keep the Kernels off the board in the bottom of the first and the Chiefs led 1-0 into the third. With two outs, Justin Bass doubled to left-center
and scored on a two-base error by Dustin Geiger at third base. Jeremy Cruz tripled home Randal Grichuk to put the Kernels on top 2-1 and Brandon Decker drew a walk. Brian Hernandez singled
home Cruz but Easterling threw out Decker at third to end the inning.
The Chiefs jumped right back into the game in the top of the fourth. Jones singled with one out and scored on a two-out double to left by Rafael Valdes. With the Chiefs down 3-2, Jang retired Micah Gibbs on a flyout to center to leave the tying run in scoring position.
The Kernels immediately knocked Starling Peralta from the game with a four-hit bottom of the fourth. Francis Larson singled to left and moved to second on a wild pitch. With two outs,
Rolando Gomez singled to put runners on the corners. Bass rocketed a double to left-center to score both Larson and Gomez for a 5-2 Kernels lead. Grichuk's second extra base hit of the night,
a triple to center, scored Bass for a 6-2 Cedar Rapids lead.
Peralta (2-5) allowed six runs, three earned, on nine hits over just four innings of work. He walked three, threw a wild pitch and struck out one. Alvaro Sosa threw 2 1/3 innings of shutout
baseball allowing one hit and striking out two. Robinson Lopez struck out three and walked one in 1 2/3 shutout innings.

Proud to be a Redskin
Why the hullabaloo over my Redskins?
I am a Redskin alumni who proudly played on all Redskin teams and wear the Redskin jersey during pick-up games — or with my boys. Nobody has inferred that I'm insensitive. The Redskin mascot is appropriate for our town so rich in Native American history. If I were of American Native decent I'd be mighty proud to see a community respect and memorialize my heritage with a Redskin mascot — to keep my people's culture alive — to have their athlete teams symbolize our bravery. If the Native Americans differ, one might expect to hear drum beats long before now since Cooperstown has been the cradle for many tribes. But we don't, leading us to question when is political correctness good or bad?
Clearly we needed corrective action to right our racial prejudices of the '50s. The politically correct process made us a more-just society. But today the process has morphed more into an ideology with too many cowering to the whims of a few protesters — whom often are not subjects of their own protests. Everyday words acceptable to most people are transformed into new buzz words more fitting to an ideology. Those failing to comply are shamed or intimidated, thus stifles many from speaking freely. It all starts so innocently, but when carried too far it becomes a slippery slope for any society as proven by ideologues like Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin and others.
Kids should be proud of their mascot and they can be by educating them on how the mascot is a symbol to memorialize our respect for the rich Native American culture and history so germane to our environment. Let's put a positive spin on education and let our educators spend their energies making our kids smarter.

By Jim Wallace - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - The Red Cross won't shut down in Albany, thanks to your generosity.
The Southwest Georgia Chapter announced Wednesday it could have to close Friday without an influx of cash.
Donations poured into the office today like the $325 from students and teachers at Albany Middle School.
Coach Jesse Massey passed a bucket around the school, raising $150. Coach Massey added $175 himself.
Jesse Massey said "I saw it on the news this morning and I date back to '94 when the Flood came, and this is my way of trying to give back."
Southwest Georgia Chapter of the American Red Cross Director Mari Wright said "It reinforces what I knew about our community. That once they knew how much we needed their help, that they would come through." Will you be able to stay open? "Yes."
The Southwest Georgia Red Cross Chapter spent thousands of dollars recently helping fire victims.
Two families were burned out of their homes in Albany Wednesday. There were six fires in the last three days in the 11-county area.
They group still needs donations, but the office will be able to stay open.

This review hasn't been rated yet.
In many respects a game-changing restaurant. Half warehouse, half country kitchen with a terrific amount going on (steel girders, brick walls, hanging lights, racks of wine alongside racks of copper pans, the kitchen at the heart, competing with the bar to be the subject of your gaze). It all makes for an excellent vibe. Staff are delightfully welcoming and so well trained you feel well looked after from the moment you arrive (a glass of water is put in front of you as you sit down).
The menu is a cook's world tour of dishes with the humble vegetable taking centre stage and clever tricksy touches, and prices that are unscary. Crudités are served with a cashew and yeast dip with 'soil' made from finely chopped olives, and an equally simple but very tasty potato and rye bread was slathered in seaweed butter and served with the now notorious, sea-flavoured oyster and borage leaves. For mains a corn & quinoa tamale packed a punch alongside sticky pork belly but was overshadowed by the comforting and more complete flavours of sea bream served with dhal lentils, and a confit of lamb belly beautifully dished up with spiced mash, mint pickled cucumber, and fava beans.
Nice wine list is full of interesting selections but does not allow you to sit on your wallet. All comes alive on hot days when doors open onto the square outside, with its lime trees, fountains and sense of space. The phoenix of Google's emerging offices adds to the feeling of expectation.
