Media event set for September 9, launch likely ~10 days later.
Production Challenges to 'Delay' Launches of iPhone 5S, Lower-Cost iPhone and New iPad Mini?
Kuo has released a new report today indicating that a number of challenges appear to be pushing back the release of the new iPhone and iPad mini models relative to his previous predictions and general market consensus. As a result, Kuo believes that Apple's third quarter may see much smaller shipment growth than previously expected. Apple of course has not announced its launch plans, so any "delays" are relative to these market expectations and not necessarily Apple's internal plans.
Earlier we estimated that shipments of the new iPhone would begin in July (FDD version) and September (TDD version), while iPad mini 2 would hit the market in August. Currently, market consensus for shipments of iPhone 5S, low-cost iPhone and iPad mini 2 is July, July, and August, respectively. But in light of publicly available information and our knowledge of technological trends, we now think all three products will begin shipments later than our previous expectation and market consensus.Kuo does not provide a new specific target date for the launches of the updated models, instead laying out a series of three scenarios modeling how Apple's shipments could be affected based on August/September, September/October, and October/November timeframes.
As for details on the challenges facing Apple, Kuo lays out the following issues:
- Fingerprint sensor for iPhone 5S. Work on finding the right color coatings in order to prevent interference with the sensor offers a technical challenge for Apple, and software integration in iOS 7 will also require additional work.
- Color coatings for lower-cost iPhone. Apple's lower-cost iPhone has been rumored to be arriving with a plastic shell in a number of different colors, and Apple's efforts to keep the shell as thin as possible will likely lead to production ramping issues for coatings and surface treatments.
- iPad mini Retina display. Kuo expects the second-generation iPad mini to adopt a Retina display, and technical challenges related to its design and manufacture are likely to slow Apple's release timetable.
As a result of later-than-expected launches, Kuo currently predicts that Apple will see only single-digit growth of total iPhone/iPad shipments year-over-year for the third quarter of 2013, far below current market expectations of 30-40% growth.
Kuo's report comes as Morgan Stanley's Katy Huberty has released her own report projecting new iPhone launches for September following an iOS 7 preview at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) expected in June. Huberty projects that Apple will show off a new "killer app" such as mobile wallet at WWDC, with the new iPhone and iPad hardware following several months later.

Come on Apple! Please, please I hope that this supposed fingerprint sensor is NOT the supposed "killer feature" (a la Siri). Give me a bigger screen and WIDER one while you're at it.
Wow, a bigger, wider screen. How innovative. Nobody has done that before. That'll sure send AAPL through the roof!
I was worried that Apple wouldn't refresh at an annual pace and sell products. Glad these analysts helped me out with numbers and things.
Totally skip the iPhone 5S!
Even if Production of 5s is okay, I think it's safe to assume 5S WILL NOT be released in the summer, simply because T-Mo just got the 5.
Remember when Apple delayed the 4s to October 2011 since Verizon got the 4 in Feb of that year?
Do you have any proof that the 4S was "delayed" because of the Verizon iPhone 4?
I'm skeptical first because I don't see how it justifies a "delay", and second because the number of subscriber of a single carrier in a single country is insignificant to the total number of iPhones sold worldwide.
All U.S. iPhone sales don't even account for half the worldwide sales, and they're divided between 3 major carriers (now 4), plus some smaller carriers.
T-Mobile will probably get something like 5% of worldwide iPhone sales this year. So even assuming the T-Mo iPhone 5 could, for some arbitrary reason, delay the release of the iPhone 5S, it still wouldn't make sense to delay such a huge product launch for only 5% of your market.
I'm guessing the iPhone 7 will come out tomorrow. If I get new information (or invent it) and change my mind about that, then Apple is late.
I don't know about many of you, but I have been getting really bored of my iPhone 5 and my iPad 2. I constantly think about which other iOS device would be a good complement to my life, but I can't help but be reminded that everything else does the exact same thing. iPad 4 is heavier, retina display doesn't really mean that much to me. iPad mini is nice, but the outdated processor just turns me off. Already the A5 is starting to lag a little in my iPad 2.
Call me iSheep, but here I am with money to throw at Apple but really nothing to buy. The worst is when I think about their upcoming products. Delayed? Same form factor? Similar designs? Marginal changes in iOS 7? I know I might end up buying them still, but for the first time in 4 years, in the month of April, I am not really feeling the excitement of things to come from Apple in the year ahead. Honestly, even the rumours looks boring.
But hey, at least Google I/O is coming up.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) – An innovative kind of care facility for the independent elderly is now open in Lubbock as part of a new program sponsored by MHMR.
It's called La Paloma, and they offer the program PACE that enables seniors over age 55 to live as independently as possible. The PACE program provide seniors access to any supportive services they may need during the day, including Doctors and physical therapists that are always available on hand. What sets La Paloma apart is that the participants are able to go home at night to live on their own or with family.
"There's about 70 or so in the United States right now and we're the third one in Texas to open up. These are some fantastic models of care, I cannot tell you how wonderful they are," said Carson Scott, the Director at La Paloma. He adds, "A lot of people think it's too good to be true, but it's really not it's here, we're ready to serve people so we just need people to come on over."
The PACE program at La Paloma even includes a special unit for seniors with Alzheimer's disease. Transportation is included to and from the facility and it is covered by Medicare.
If you'd like to know more about La Paloma and the PACE program, which is state funded and an all inclusive care facility for the independent elderly, please call La Paloma at (806) 740-1500.

HOMERS cricketer Sandy Hodge will represent Victoria at the 2014 Imparja Cup in Alice Springs starting on Sunday.
The prolific Pigeons keeper-batsman is no stranger to the Imparja Cup, and has again been in stellar form this season after overcoming a thumb injury.
Hodge has scored 364 runs in just seven Horsham Cricket Association A Grade knocks and said he was excited about testing his skills in the week-long tournament for the fourth time.
"It's pretty exciting – it's always good fun to go away and play in the Imparja Cup," he said.
"It's always fairly challenging with the weather up there, but there's good grounds and facilities, and playing against district cricketers should be a good challenge."
Victoria's 13-man squad includes five cricketers playing in Melbourne's Premier Cricket competition – Ben Abbatangelo, Damon Egan, Josh Eaton, Alex Kerr and Fletcher Stewart – with 20-year-old Melbourne Stars community rookie Abbatangelo to captain the side for a third year.
Hodge said the team would be out to improve on back-to-back third-placed finishes, and also said he was looking forward to mentoring some of the younger players in the squad, including Egan, an up-and-coming keeper-batsman.
"Damon is a young guy and he's got a lot of talent. He's playing at Melbourne Cricket Club and we'll be interchanging wicket-keeping duties," he said.
"I'll sort of be mentoring him and a few of the other young guys as well."
Hodge also said it was exciting this year with Victoria fielding a women's team for the first time.
Victoria's campaign begins with matches against Queensland and Tasmania on Monday.
The side then plays Northern Territory and New South Wales on Tuesday, before playing Western Australia on Thursday and South Australia on Friday.

Last night I watched Ellen Barkin act her heart out in Sam Levinson's Sundance screenplay-winner "Another Happy Day" (Phase 4, November 18), which is saddled with an unfortunate generic title. At 57, Barkin has been around the block a few times, and while the movie opens with her two younger sons debating whether or not she is hot, the actress shows wear and tear, which never hurts with the Academy. In the movie, Barkin and her sons return to her family home for her older son's wedding, where her parents (Ellen Burstyn and George Kennedy) seem to favor her ex-husband (Thomas Hayden Church) and his new wife (Demi Moore) over their own daughter. Her troubled teen is played by creepy Ezra Miller, who also tortures his mother Tilda Swinton in "We Need to Talk About Kevin." Passed-down generational neurosis and dysfunction is the story here, and Barkin wallows in it.
Barkin joins Swinton (Oscilloscope's "We Need to Talk About Kevin"), Kirsten Dunst (Magnolia's "Melancholia"), Keira Knightley ("A Dangerous Method"), Gotham nominees Elizabeth Olsen (Fox Searchlight's "Martha Marcy May Marlene") and Felicity Jones (Paramount's "Like Crazy"), Michelle Yeoh (Cohen Media's "The Lady") and Mia Wasikowska (Focus Feature's "Jane Eyre") on the list of long-odds dark horse candidates vying for the fifth Best Actress slot. Crucial for these would-be contenders is who will win the New York and Los Angeles critics' best actress awards. A Gotham win and BAFTA, Golden Globe, SAG and Indie Spirit nominations also wouldn't hurt.
While all these actresses are worthy, even highbrow critics will likely coalesce around one of four current frontrunners, all former nominees backed by seasoned Oscar campaigners with deep pockets. Viola Davis (DreamWorks/Disney's "The Help") leads the pack, followed by two Weinstein Co. candidates, Oscar perennial Meryl Streep (Weinstein Co's"The Iron Lady"), who is due for an Oscar win after 16 nominations, and 29 years since her second and only best actress win ("Sophie's Choice"), and Michelle Williams, who channels Monroe in "My Week with Marilyn." Rounding the turn is Glenn Close, making her movie comeback as crossdresser "Albert Nobbs" (Roadside Attractions). The question is, who scores that fifth spot?
With way more money to spend on Oscar campaigns than a micro-indie, Paramount is pushing young Brit Jones as well as bad-girl Charlize Theron in Diablo Cody and Jason Reitman's "Young Adult," which could be too off-putting for senior Oscar voters. And falling into edgy genre territory--as did last year's "Black Swan"-- is David Fincher's big-budget adaptation "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," starring tattooed and pierced Rooney Mara, who is herself a new Academy voter.
Still, if the critics were to go for someone outside the top four, who would it be? The most likely: a respected actress in a consensus quality title, say, OIsen in "Martha Marcy May Marlene" (76 on Metacritic), or Cannes Best Actress winner Dunst in "Melancholia" (80 on Metacritic). While spendthrift Searchlight is relentlessly hawking Olsen, tightwad Magnolia will wait for a big win for Dunst before opening their wallets for a full-on Oscar campaign.
AMStar | November 28, 2011 8:03 PM
While most of those movies have been released lately, what about Brit Marling in "Another Earth" from earlier this year. Her portrayal of a common, intelligent and hurt young woman carried the movie without being melodramatic. If you haven't seen this, check it out.
Oscar Cheat | November 28, 2011 2:30 AM
Vanity Fair are a bunch of heartless jerks. How nice to promote the entitled wannabe actress that Terry Gilliam and Nicola Pecorini exposed for her relentless attacks on Heath Ledger compliments of her lawyers for sole custody.
Michelle can't even master Marilyn Monroe's essence and flirtatious loving personality.
She doesn't have any romantic qualities in her personality and it shows in this movie.
How hard is it to rent a Marilyn Monroe movie and soak yourself in it so much that you become
her. Isn't that what being an actress means? I guess Michelle has her own definition of it and of course the rest of us are supposed to consider her for another undeserved oscar nomination
Eddie Lee | November 24, 2011 3:14 PM
The most overlooked performance by an actress so far, in My opinion, is that of Vera Farmiga in Higher Ground.
bambam | November 23, 2011 11:25 PM
i think the nominees will be
tilda swinton
elizabeth olsen
kirstin dunst
michelle williams
and either glen close or meryl streep.
i think viola davis will get a supporting nom and that will give her a better chance at winning. wherever davis gets the nomination, and she will get nominated -- the help is this year's "crash" and "liberal white guilt" balm.
tilda should win for her amazing acting and plus her body of work (of course the nomination is often for your whole body of work) even though she's one already.
williams could win because it seems like she truly nails the character, and academy rewards biopic acting. anyone who could successfully inhabit monroe would be a shoo in.
dunst won't win probably, because even though she's a great actress, she's still got a huge career in front of her. plus the von trier nazi thing. hopefully this will be the first in a string of nominations to be eventually capped with a win. she's really done her best work and she survived a von trier movie and a von trier controversy.
olsen is a revelation, and has the big outsider card, but if she would be the winner, then swinton acted circles around her and there is no competition.
glen close could pull this one off, she's got five nominations and no win. if this is the list, then she probably will win due to her insider status.
while i love meryl, i say don't nominate her unless she is a lock to win. she should have won for devil wears prada, honestly! so she might actually not get nominated for this. she doesn't completely transform.
if viola davis is nominated for actress, she should probably win. i still think she will get her best supporting actress oscar.
DomizianoA | November 23, 2011 11:48 AM
Oy Vey! I just say: Why don't we finally go with greatest performances, and not,instead 'the same faces'.. Those who come with an Oscar's aura since the beginning of their careers!
And by that, I don't mean that a great performance cannot be given by a 57, or even a 77 years old! Was touched when Hal Holbrook was nominated,for example, and rightly so, for his turn in "Into the wild"!
Age is not an issue here: respect for the true artists, and their achievements, stands definitely out, as the better rule,although,again,even Picasso, had a few 'less mesmerizing moments', and so is Meryl Streep,or a few others 'great ones' who have not truly shined this year!
So, I just hope all the Oscar nominees will be big surprises,at least for the most, bringing audiences to explore also, some greater,personal films with excellent work "this year" ,and, not the usual suspects dealing with politics,studio campaigns and a certain God, called money.
Eyan Stomper | November 23, 2011 10:16 AM
I think Olivia Coleman for her blistering performance in Tyrannousaur definitely deserves an Oscar nod - she was incredible. Tilda Swinton for We Need to Talk About Kevin too!
fergusontx | November 23, 2011 8:04 AM
Maybe this year we won't be subjected to pundit blathering in regards to the dearth of quality female roles in Hollywood. There are at least 10 Oscar worthy performances for a lead actress. I certainly can't come up with that number for the 2011 boys.
Simon | November 17, 2011 2:01 PM
I cross my fingers for the best female performance of the year! I cross my fingers for the phenomenal Mrs. Kirsten Dunst in one of the years best movies in Melancholia! Please give her this golden guy! What a perfomance alongside with Charlotte Gainsbourg!
desmond palmer | November 16, 2011 11:01 PM

JR | November 16, 2011 8:38 PM
Oops, forgot about Olivia Colman for Tyrannosaur - what is the thought there? Supporting? Felt an awful lot like a lead performance, along the lines of Viola Davis in The Help...
JR | November 16, 2011 8:30 PM
Gotta be Dunst...but I love Mia W. in Jane Eyre, just seems like forever ago...
Greg | November 16, 2011 8:25 PM
Its a darn shame I'm not seeing Felicity Jones' name here for Like Crazy. I thought it was a star making performance. And if I know anything about the Academy is that they love a young, beautiful ingenue. If only her character had a dibilitating illness...
Kamil | November 16, 2011 8:08 PM
It's going to be Kirsten Dunst, I just know it.
Pat | November 16, 2011 8:07 PM
It's a shame that everybody-at least in the press-forgot about Vera Farmiga in "Higher Ground" arguably my pick for the Best Film I've seen this year. She not only directs the film, but she portrays a woman who is doing the best she can to maintain her place in her community and her church while struggling with some serious questions of faith. I've only seen her in 4 films ("The Departed", "Up In The Air", "Source Code" and "Higher Ground"). I would jump for joy if she got nominated for her direction, but especially for her performance.
M | November 16, 2011 7:55 PM
I hope it will be Barkin . I haven`t seen the movie but she`s great actress and given her recent Tony winning it looks like people really like & respect her. And she still looks like herself and can move her face. One thing that i don`t understand is, why the hell is Meryl overdue for Oscar ? Really ?!! She has two! Glenn Close has none! All those oscar blogs are creating fake buzz which too many times end up like this - OSCAR WINNER SANDRA BULLOCK!
G Downs | November 16, 2011 7:33 PM
having seen "young adult" Charlize didn't do a whole lot for me. it was a good movie, but I wouldn't say her performance was oscar worthy.
I would hope Dunst picks up a nod for Meloncholia.
Ronnie d. | November 16, 2011 6:20 PM
Please don't let Meryl Streep get nominated again, especially with the harsh critiques her performance has been getting from former British officials.
Sincerely, Person who doesn't believe an actress should be nominated just because of her name.
Ronnie d. | November 16, 2011 6:16 PM
In the picture, she looks like an old and ugly Cameron Diaz who's also had considerable plastic surgery (botox especially).
Angelina | November 16, 2011 5:53 PM
Why do sooo many of us, including most film critics, have to buy into the meme/mythology that a woman shows "wear and tear" at age 57? What does that mean, anyway? That's she's no longer 25 and should apologize for daring to play a lead in a movie, indie or not? This would never happen in Europe. We buy into our own ageist oppression here, particularly the media.
Tiki | November 16, 2011 5:44 PM
It will be Theron. No brainer. Have you seen Young Adult, Anne? She gives one of the most fierce, striking, powerful performances of the year. And that's being said having seen all of the above mentioned films, with an exception of 'The Iron Lady' of course. Theron is an Oscar winner with the A-list status, respect within the Academy factor, and knows how to navigate the campaign trail. She's done it twice before, and she will surely do it again.
I do think it is unfair that you made no mention of Felicity Jones work in 'Like Crazy'. She belongs on the list of dark horses (I know you only mentioned some, but hello- move over, Michelle Yeoh). After all, she's one of the reigning "it" girls this year alongside the splendid Elizabeth Olsen (who I WISH and HOPE can overtake Glenn Close's spot... Albert Nobbs is such a snoozefest).
Jack | November 16, 2011 5:16 PM
I'd find it hard to believe that critics would go for any of those other actresses over Tilda Swinton. Kirsten Dunst has barely been getting main notices from even critics who praise the film (not that all of them do), and Elizabeth Olsen would be more likely to get breakthrough notices (though MMMM's reviews were surprisingly underwhelming as well). Even if Kevin proves to be critically divisive, which is still a question mark, I don't think many doubt Tilda's performance in it. And considering the raves in the UK and strong arthouse box office performance there (and her own stature among the voters) it seems likely that she'll have a BAFTA nomination on top of that. I'm not sure if Kevin's considered a British or American film by the Independent Spirit Awards' standards but the Golden Globes at least respect her as well, having nominated her for The Deep End (tortured mother role in a dark micro-indie helloooo) before mainstream Hollywood had taken notice of her.
By the way, Kirsten Dunst did not win the Palme D'Or award. That's a different prize. ;)
Christine | November 16, 2011 4:50 PM
hmm..interesting. I think Dunst deserves that last spot. She might not have ads and stuff from Magnolia but she's out there doing the press and interviews. she's got connections I'm sure she can use to help get publicity. I also agree that Glenn, Meryl, Michelle and Viola are locks from now until precursors.

Scripted by Walter Bernstein, based on Eugene Burdick and Harvey Wheeler's best-selling novel, the film tells in an utmost serious mode the story of a U.S. plane that's accidentally ordered to bomb U.S.S.R., thus plunging heads of American and Soviet governments into crisis of decision-making as time runs out.
High-tension drama, done in a bleak and grim mode and directed with taste and intelligence by Sidney Lumet, it stars Henry Fonda (as the American President), Walter Matthau, Dan O'Herlihy, Fritz Weaver, Larry Hagman, and other gifted thespians.
Released by the same studio (Columbia) just seven months after the Kubrick farce, "Fail Safe" suffered at the box-office by following "Dr. Strangelove," a wild farce based on similar premise. Rumor has it that Kubrick threatened Columbia with a plagiarism lawsuit, forcing the studio's brass to release his film first.
Audiences opted for Kubrick's biting, off-the-wall satire, though "Fail Safe" continued to enjoy life as a stage play. It's a nice companion piece to Lumet's earlier (and better) "12 Angry Men," also with Fonda, and staged in similar style, relying on close-ups for creating a claustrophobic atmosphere.

Nov 16, 2011 DC Editor Latest Drag Racing News 0
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif. (Nov. 14) – Nothing, not even a rare opening round loss, could wipe the smile off of Vincent Nobile's face as he exited the NAPA/Mountain View Racing Pro Stock Dodge for the final time in 2011. Nobile plans to quickly forget the red-light start that cost him his opening round race against Dodge teammate and engine builder Allen Johnson at last weekend's Automobile Club of Southern California NHRA Finals, but he will forever remember just about everything else that happened this season.
"A year ago, I was just a kid with a dream and now, almost every dream I've ever had has come true," said the 19-year old college student. "This year I got the opportunity to follow my father [John] and race an NHRA Pro Stock car and I had an absolute blast. To be honest, I don't want it to end. I'd love to keep racing right on through the winter."
Nobile's enthusiasm is understandable when one considers that he enjoyed one of the most successful rookie seasons of any driver in the history of professional drag racing. Although he lacked experience, Nobile was hired by team owner Nick Mitsos to drive the 211-mph Mountain View Dodge, and he quickly validated that decision by reaching the final round in his fourth event in Las Vegas, and winning at his fifth two weeks later in Houston, Texas. Nobile went on to win two more races in Norwalk, Ohio and Phoenix, Ariz., to go along with runner-up finishes in Las Vegas and Englishtown, N.J., He also finished the season as NHRA's fifth-ranked Pro Stock driver, and was named as a finalist for the prestigious Automobile Club of Southern California Road to the Future award.
"Everything that happened to me this season was so much more than I could have expected," said Nobile. "I owe it all to my parents, John and Susan, and to the Mitsos family. They took a tremendous chance when they hired me to drive their car and I'm so happy that I was able to win three races for them. Every time I won a race, the best feeling in the world was seeing the look on their faces when we got to the winner's circle."
With the 2011 season now completed, Nobile plans to devote more time to his studies at Adelphi University in Garden City, N.Y., although his thoughts are already beginning to drift towards the 2012 season, which will also begin at Auto Club Raceway in Pomona, Feb. 9-12.
"If I've done my math right, we have 87 days until we start racing again," said Nobile. "That doesn't seem like a long time but I'm sure it's going to feel like an eternity. As good as we were this year I think we'll be even better in 2012. When I first got in this car last February, I had no idea what to expect. Sure, I made some mistakes but I tried to learn from them. Next year, I plan to be more prepared and hopefully that will show in our results."

When last we checked in with Martha Stewart, queen of crafts and empress of America's WASPs, she was trying to get someone, anyone, to fix her broken iPad. But now she's in Internet trouble once again–this time for incurring the wrath of the bloggers.
It all started with this interview with Bloomberg News, in which Ms. Stewart cast aspersions upon the qualifications of "these bloggers":
"Who are these bloggers? They're not trained editors at Vogue magazine. I mean, there are bloggers writing recipes that aren't tested, that aren't necessarily very good, or are copies of everything that really good editors have created and done. So bloggers create kind of a, um, popularity. But they are not the experts, and we have to understand that."
She'd also like HRH the Princess of Goop to please remember that it was Martha who started this whole lifestyle category. BOW DOWN.
Well, bloggers shit a brick and responded with a flurry of outraged (what else?) blog posts. Sample: "We are NOT the trained editors at Vogue Magazine. We are better." Stoking the rage was the fact that some had just received a PR blast from Martha Stewart Living re: the latest issue.
Her @replies on Twitter are looking pretty outraged, too:
remember that time all BLOGGERS united after @MarthaStewart stuck her foot in her mouth again? #whoarethosebloggers—
Laura Londergan (@EyeCandyDetails) October 17, 2013
In an attempt to quell the rage, Martha (or one of her beleaguered underlings) took to Twitter. Apologies usually go better when they aren't written in the third person, though:
Big hubbub about me not supporting bloggers. Martha Stewart loves most bloggers who are great friends and trusted allies—
Martha Stewart (@MarthaStewart) October 16, 2013
If anyone needs her, she'll be at her country estate, DIYing some fucks to give.

packerguys prediction
Believe it or not I think u guys will upset philly in a close ball game.
I however, and I am not saying this to be an ass, see u guys losing to atlanta with atlanta of course beating the rams this weekend.
This however is based upon a healthy vick. I still am not sure about that shoulder of his.
If the rams upset the falcons then a minnesota/st. louis mathcup could be entertaining. I think I lean with the rams but if the vikings step up defensively again they can beat them because the rams havent been all the great themselves.
What I cant figure out is if the packers loss was due to how bad the packers really are or if the vikings are just better than they showed. OR the packers just had one of them days.
oh well it doesnt matter
I will enjoy the rest of the playoffs even though my club will be watching with me
later guys
packerguys prediction
Ok, I'll take one game at a time. Not too worried about the Falcons or the Rams. Just the Eagles now.
packerguys prediction
I think at this point, I would rather play ATL than STL.
I don't want anything to do with Bulger to Holt, Bruce, Faulk, McDonald.
I would rather have Vick to Crumpy, Dunn and (there isn't anyone else).

Philly is ripe for an upset. I forgot the actual statistic, but teams that rest players before the playoffs generally do not perform well, and in this case, Philly has had almost a month off from a real football game. This was one of the reasons I was pissed the Packers had to play the Vikings in the opening round. I was pretty confident in a Viking upset of Philly, setting the stage for a Packer/Viking NFC championship game. judging from sunday's game, it wouldn't have been that cool anyway.

At this point, after early season enthusiasm and then grim reality setting in, I take nothing regarding this Vikings team or their opponents for granted. I like to spin things to convince myself of the Vikings chances for winning, but have found myself disappointed far too many times this year.
Say what you want about Atlanta and the competition they faced; they still won 11 games this season. Same with the Eagles; before they wrapped things up and shut it down, they only lost 1 game. The Rams are playing their best football of the season right now.
I don't dare predict a winner of Sunday's game. I can envision several reasonable scenarios where the Vikings can win, and I hope they do. But just like last Sunday, there are more to suggest that the Eagles will prevail. If the Vikings as a team step up like they did last week, it should at least be a close game, closer than the game of week two.
Oh, and Packerguy...the Packers loss said nothing about whether the superior Packers lost to the inferior Vikings, or the superior Vikings beat the inferior Packers. In reality, both are very talented offensive teams with weak defenses, and really are pretty much even as far as who is better and who is worse. On that particular day, the Vikings played better - that's all.SKOL VIKINGS!
packerguys prediction
brilliantly put... thats the best summary of it all ive heard all week
:king:i m better than you, so just give up...

Pie-in-the-Sky Flying Cars From the Past
By STUART F. BROWN
Tinkerers have tried to make cars fly since the early 20th century, with mixed results. Here are a few of them.
Thursday, August 28, 2014
The dream of creating a flying car has reduced many would-be inventors to despair as they grasped the immensity of the engineering and design challenges of the divergent natures of airplanes and cars.
Tinkerers have tried to make cars fly since the early 20th century, with mixed results. Here are a few of them.
Few things played out exactly as expected during classic-car week at Pebble Beach, like a post-World War II car winning Best of Show. Still, auction results hit a record.
A reporter's 1958 Porsche Speedster that he raced decades ago turned up this month, restored, in California during Pebble Beach week.
The 2015 XC60 T6 Drive-E features the most efficient drivetrain that comes in the model, but sacrifices all-wheel-drive capability.
At an event in Stockholm, Volvo managers portrayed the new XC90 sport utility vehicle as Scandinavian to the marrow.

Daniel Ricciardo is the first Australian since 1960 to win at Spa-Francorchamps; Joey Logano wins Sprint Cup race, capping a Nascar sweep for Penske.
Frank Stephenson, who designed the P1, talks about the roles function and aesthetics play in the creation of a beautiful car.
Kia unveils a new video ad for the 2015 Soul E.V. featuring a shapely she-hamster; Audi releases a star-studded promo for the Emmy Awards.
Stalling, failure to start and inadvertent operation of accessories are among the problems linked to Chrysler's Totally Integrated Power Module.
How the smartphone-based car service tried to lure drivers from its main competitor.
Executive buses with amenities like leather seats, beverage service and Wi-Fi are becoming alternatives to flying or driving between cities.
The companies, including Ford and General Motors, were found to have broken fair-trading rules in the spare parts and after-sale services market.
The quest to create a flying car is almost as old as the airplane and automobile.
The auctions held during Pebble Beach week brought in a record $430 million, topped by the $38 million paid for a Ferrari 250 GTO.
Rob Sass offers his views on some notable, if not record-setting, cars auctioned during the week of the Pebble Beach Concours d'Élégance.
Cadillac follows up its terrific ATS sedan with a sporty coupe version that keeps the party going.

A similar accident happened less than two weeks ago at Mississippi Phosphates, killing 39 year old Jeffrey Simpson. At that time, family members expressed concerns about safety at the plant. Now, with a second fatality Friday, their concerns are ever greater.
John Simpson said his hopes for positive change at the plant have been dashed.
"That's what we were hoping. That something good would come out of that accident," Simpson said. "Unfortunately, for it to repeat itself within less than two weeks in the same area just shouts out something is wrong, wrong, wrong."
Jeffrey loved to fish with his father, something that Dad will sorely miss. John's emotions are tangled, and his frustration is evident.
"I'm angered, because one of the people I know that was hurt today was my son's supervisor," Simpson lamented. "I know the guilt he felt about not being on the shift when my son got killed, and it breaks my heart to know that he's suffering."
When asked if he feels the company is cutting safety corners, his answer was to the point.
"I think what they're doing, they're postponing some maintenance as long as they can, and in that case brings on danger."
John Simpson is a man of deep faith, but he's also a realist.
"I believe that God has a plan for all of us and it was Jeffrey's time, but that doesn't mean he had to die the way he died."
Meanwhile, officials with OSHA are still investigating the cause of the original accident on May 21. Those same officials will now begin another investigation in the cause of this latest accident.

Breast milk can be a precious commodity and in some cases nursing moms have more than they can use so they are sending it to milk banks that in turn make sure it's safe and then send it on to newborns who desperately need it.
After the birth of Amy Johnson's daughter she started pumping a little extra every day to stock up on breast milk so her daughter would have enough when she returned to work. By the time that day arrived she had a huge stash, more than she needed so she decided to donate it to the Mother's Milk Bank of North Texas, the closest one she could find to Arkansas.
Amy Johnson said, "So what I did was use that milk for her for daycare and the milk I would pump during the week is what I would send to donate and I ended up being able to donate over 1600 ounces."
Donating is easy. The milk bank will ship donors a boxed cooler with a prepaid shipping label. They will even send you containers to put your milk in or if you already have a freezer full of bagged milk you just put in the cooler, pack it will dry ice and send it back to the milk bank.
The milk bank then pasteurizes the donation and ships it to hospitals in Texas and Arkansas like the NICU at UAMS and Arkansas Children's Hospital. In some cases the milk is also sent directly to homes to baby's who have been given a prescription for breast milk.
Johnson said, "I just felt like the mission of the milk bank was something I felt strongly about it. These are milk banks providing milk to babies who are very sick and in some cases their lives depend on the milk and just felt good knowing my milk would go to help a baby who was really in need."
Dozens of Arkansas mothers like Amy have donated their precious supply in many cases helping save the lives of not just one but several babies.
Johnson said, "It's like donating blood. You are giving the gift of life to a baby in need. That milk, for someone who was has worked very hard to make breastfeeding successful and who has worked very hard to pump that milk it's just good to see that milk go to someone who needs it. "
Donor moms are not paid for their breast milk but they are reimbursed for the cost of dry ice and given a pre-paid shipping label. A blood test is required to make sure the donor doesn't have a disease that can be passed on through breast milk but the test is paid for by the milk so donors don't have to pay a dime.
The Mother's Milk Bank of North Texas is hoping to have a drop off location in Little Rock in the near future to make it easier for Arkansas moms to donate.

Those of you who have played lot of versus games of StarCraft 2 on battle.net servers, may find it difficult to search for a specific replay. StarCraft 2 Replay Renamer is a tool that comes in handy in these sort of situations. It works by automatically renaming the default name of the replay hence making it easy for you to find a specific replay video in future. It has been developed by a player nicknamed Randomnoob.terran and is available for free.
Check out how the GUI looks like in the screenshot below. You can download StarCraft 2 Replay Renamer from here.
We will keep you updated about its progress as long as it is supported.

Impact of interferon signaling on the regenerative capacity of human neural stem cells

Public Abstract:
Neurodegenerative diseases comprise a broad spectrum of acute and chronic conditions in which the structure or functions of neurons are progressively lost, leading to their death. Acute neurodegenerative diseases include ischemic stroke and traumatic brain and spinal cord injury. Chronic neurodegenerative diseases include Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis "Lou Gehrig's disease", and Alzheimer's disease among many others. Stem cell-based approaches hold tremendous hope to restore neuronal function in neurodegenerative disease. Transplantation of stem cells in animal models of neurodegenerative disease has been proven to restore neuronal function to some extent. However, significant barriers still exist to responsively translate stem cell-based approaches into treatments for human neurodegenerative diseases. We need to further investigate the action of stem cells after transplantation. In particular, one of the underrepresented areas in this research field is the effect of inflammation on transplanted stem cells. Notably, neurodegenerative diseases are accompanied by inflammation. Inflammation damages neurons as well as transplanted stem cells. This proposal attempts to find a way to reduce the damage to stem cells by inflammation to enhance the ability of stem cells to regenerate neuronal functions after transplantation. This project will help to discover new approaches to improve stem cell-based therapies for various neurodegenerative diseases.
Statement of Benefit to California:
Human stem cells hold great potential for regenerative medicine to treat many progressive neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, stroke, and spinal cord injuries, to name just a few. These devastating neurodegenerative diseases are the leading causes of death and disability in the State of California. The progressive nature of these diseases with increasing disability is a burden on the patients, their families, and the State of California in both human suffering and healthcare costs. The goal of this project is to study the molecular changes within human neural stem cells (hNSCs) transplanted in neurodegenerative diseases in order to discover means to increase the regenerative capacity of transplanted hNSCs. This mechanistic and translational approach to characterize transplanted hNSCs will provide possible therapeutic strategies and clinical applications for neurodegenerative diseases, providing hope for the development of stem cell based therapies. Therefore, successful completion of this research will greatly benefit Californians suffering from neurodegenerative diseases and in need of such treatments, and have a tremendous impact on quality of life for the patient, his or her family, and for the economic and emotional burden on the State of California and its citizens.
Review Summary:
It is well-recognized that the success of stem cell transplantation is highly dependent on how the donor cells proliferate, survive, differentiate, and integrate into host tissues in a neurodegenerative microenvironment. This pathological environment has a significant inflammatory component. In fact, inflammation has a major impact on neural recovery after injury and during the disease process and is detrimental to therapeutic stem cell efforts and, therefore, meaningful recovery. Inflammation may also limit the potential for neuronal plasticity. The goal of this Fundamental Mechanisms Award proposal is to improve the outcome of human neural stem cell (hNSC) transplantation in rodent models of stroke by manipulating signaling that depends on an understudied transcription factor. In previous works, the PI and collaborators have demonstrated that the transcription factor of study is linked to other regulators that suppress signaling of the inflammatory response. The application proposes experiments that will chart the pathway from this transcription factor to the specific regulators and further to the suppression of downstream inflammatory molecules. It will also investigate whether the attenuation of this response influences the regenerative capacity of hNSCs. Significance and Innovation - This study represents a worthy, but incremental, step rather than being truly innovative. A concern was expressed that the potential findings were too evident from the preliminary results and not likely to move the field forward significantly. It is already known that the signaling pathway of study has direct negative effects on NSCs, thus it is not surprising that interfering with that signaling would improve survival. -There was concern that the experimental design does not effectively interrogate the mechanism by which inflammation affects engraftment and how inflammatory signaling in the NSC affects the inflammatory milieu, thus lessening the potential impact of the research. - Dissection of this neuroinflammatory signaling cascade could lead to the development of strategies to improve hNSC-based therapies for neurodegenerative diseases. An exploitation of the molecular cascade of study is a novel approach to tackle the inflammatory niche. - The use of innovative technologies is a plus. Feasibility and Experimental Design - The preliminary data was not sufficiently strong. There was a lot of preliminary data showing the importance of the transcription factor of study in neurogenesis, but the link between other regulators and the inflammatory signaling cascade is not convincing. - There was a concern regarding the necessity for repeating the ChIP-seq experiments. Repeating the same experiment may not result in greater depth of sequence coverage, as the strongest interactions may continue to dominate throughout experimental repeats. Instead, it was suggested that identification of additional targets may require deeper sequencing of the same experiment rather that a repeat of that experiment. - Aim 2 is substantially stronger than Aim 1. Reviewers were unsure that the outcome measures selected by the investigator would yield useful data because only small effects of transcription factor level modification are anticipated, and there is a lack of evidence for the robustness of the assays themselves. - Another concern was the small number of animals to be used for behavioral measurements, suggesting the need for power calculation. - A detailed identification of the types of transplant-derived cells using a substantial array of markers is proposed. The investigators appear fully cognizant of potential pitfalls and have made some provision for alternative strategies. Principal Investigator (PI) and Research Team - The PI is clearly a contributor to the success of the line of research that led to this proposal. However, there was a concern that the PI was a middle author on most publications leading to questions regarding the magnitude of past contributions by the PI and the degree of actual independence. Confounding this concern was that a number of the key personnel are not in the PI's laboratory. - The group of collaborators is an impressive assembly of talent that expertly covers all of the necessary technologies and analyses. Responsiveness to the RFA - The project is in line with the RFA, in that it will study the effect of the extracellular environment on the cell fate of transplanted hNSCs in an animal model. The project also has the potential to inform post-stroke therapies, although more in a phenomenological rather than in a mechanistic way.

A Satisfying Career Later in Life: Bob Conklin '55
"On September 1, 1989, at the age of 51, I walked into the offices of Timber Press as the new owner of a book publishing company with zero publishing experience," says Bob Conklin '55. The 17 years Bob owned the company were the most fulfilling of this former lawyer's working life.
Bob's academic path led from Gabel Country Day School to Dartmouth College and then to law school at the University of California-Berkeley. While in law school he married his first wife, Mary Ellen, and they had two daughters, Christina '86 and Anna '90.
After Bob passed the Oregon bar exam in 1965, he joined a small law firm. But after a decade, he became increasingly disaffected with the practice of law. He formed a desire to own his own business related to his long-term passion for gardening and horticulture.
He found out that Timber Press, a small but highly regarded Portland company publishing books on horticulture, music, and several other subjects, was for sale. Although he knew nothing about publishing, he says "I did know something about plants and gardens, and a little about music. I have always loved books and language, and wordsmithing had been very much central to lawyering for me. So it seemed like a good fit for a new career."
After extensive investigation, and with a lot of faith and most of his life savings, Bob bought Timber Press from founder Richard Abel. He narrowed its focus to books on plants and music, then he sold the music line and added a new line of regional natural history books. Today Timber Press is well known for the high quality of its books, all written by experts in their subject matter.
"Buying Timber Press turned out to be probably the smartest (or at least luckiest) thing I ever did," says Bob. "I loved owning my own business. I loved book publishing, and the feeling that we were producing something truly worthwhile. I loved the terrific, smart, interesting, well educated, highly competent people I worked with."
At age 67, Bob decided it was time to move on again and sold the company. He serves on several nonprofit boards including Neskowin Valley School (founded by George Thompson '64 and Margot Voorhies Thompson '66) and the Center for Ethics in Health Care at OHSU. He was a trustee of Catlin Gabel in the late 1980s and early 1990s. He's been married to Janet Conklin since 1992.
A man whose interests seem to turn into passions, Bob immerses himself in plants and gardens (still!), opera, theater, travel, and politics. He took a watercolor painting class five years ago on a lark, fell in love with it, and will have his first gallery exhibition this June. With a fervent interest in anything to do with Italy, he travels there frequently and studies Italian language, history, and literature at PSU.
The legacy of Bob Conklin's intellect and vision has been made concrete through the more than 800 books he published at Timber Press, many of which have furthered and will continue to enhance understanding of the natural life of the Pacific Northwest.

Ever since the Reggie Bush Heisman debacle and the allegations that soon followed, I know many of my fellow BON'ers have shared my interest in the compliance of USC with NCAA rules.
Things got much uglier over the last few weeks, when new allegations made the rounds about the basketball team. Nope, the dirty deeds were not limited to football.
Tim Floyd threw more gasoline on the fire today, when he resigned. He claims innocence ... but this sure seems like a strange way to prove you're not guilty. He was accused to handing an envelope of cash to a handler. No joke.
Last week, the LA Times also had some interesting coverage ... all about how the AD and the head coaches were being so tight-lipped about their situations. Allegedly, the NCAA is just about finished (finally) with their investigations.
So will this affect their MNC seasons? Hmmmm ....

Chris Carr immediately stepped up his game and took a leadership role of the secondary when Dominique Foxworth went down with an acl tear. Carr found himself having a solid season and it was even said that quarterbacks eventually stop passing his way whenever he was on the field. Josh Wilson came to The Ravens through a trade with The Seattle Seahawks and the trade eventually paid off for The Ravens later on in the season. Josh Wilson developed into a playmaker for The Ravens and he is most famous for his game winning interception against the Houston Texans for a touchdown .
The Ravens just recently drafted two cornerbacks and some may think that the chances for both Chris Carr and Josh Wilson have decreased. If you were The Ravens which player would you re-sign?

Isn't the new Tamron 70-200 f/2.8 almost as sharp as the beloved Canon version?
Not from what I've seen. The new 24-70 VC comes somewhat close to the Canon 24-70 II, but there's a bigger IQ gap between the 70-200/2.8 lenses. I'd bet that the new Tamron at 600mm won't be as sharp as the current 100-400 at 400mm, and since you mention a $3K lens you must be referring to the pink unicorn 100-400 II, which if it becomes reality, I'd bet that lens at 400mm cropped would beat the Tamron at 600mm easily. Then there's the issue of AF speed, something Tamron lenses aren't known for...
Many people buy the 70-300 non-L over the 70-200/4L because the former is 100mm longer, has IS, and is a bit cheaper. If they cared about IQ, they'd be better off cropping images from the shorter lens with much better IQ.
I think the Tamron 150-600mm will be reasonably popular, because it'll be a cheap 600mm lens. But there's no free lunch, and the price of this one will be IQ.
Time will tell. But no matter how "sharp" the new 100-400 is, you won't get more resolution from cropping an image shot at 400mm, as shot with the Tamron at 600mm.
That isn't true at all. Depending on how good the quality of the Tamron is, it could very likely perform poorly enough that its 600mm end that the Canon at 400mm is as good or better. The lens' resolving power is ultimately determined by aberrations and aperture. At the very least, the wider f/5.6 aperture of the EF 400mm lens would give it a diffraction limited resolution (~123lp/mm MTF50) edge over the f/6.3 aperture (~104lp/mm MTF50) of the Tamron 600mm. At the very least, your losing about 15-16% due to diffraction with the 600mm lens. There are also going to be compromises in order to support the zoom range. For this lens to fit into it's cost bracket (i.e. reasonably cheaper than the Canon), you have to figure Tamron is cutting even more corners, so the optical performance of the lens is not going to be absolute top notch, which means your going to have some optical aberrations on top of the diffraction, too (i.e. it's best performing aperture, it's actual DLA, is likely going to be a stop beyond maximum, f/9.)
So, I wouldn't be quite so certain that a top notch L-series 100-400mm replacement that uses the latest Canon optical tech like antireflection nanocoating on internal elements, maybe a fluorite element or two, and Canon's new high grade manufacturing process couldn't hold it's own against a mid-range 150-600mm superzoom from Tamron. It is still certainly possible the Tamron at 600mm outperforms the Canon 100-400 at 400mm, and it might even be able to edge out a 100-400 II if/when it comes out...but I wouldn't suspect the margin to be more than very slim...not with a 150-600mm zoom lens...too many necessary compromises.There's no way the Tamron would be that bad. If it were, nobody would buy it, and I doubt Tamron would build it. This isn't the 1990's anymore. And from what I've seen, the Tamron 70-200 f/2.8 definitely is sharper than the difference in the price, compared to the Canon 70-200 f/2.8. 75% as sharp? More like 90%. 90% of the sharpness for 75% (or less) of the price.
What are you basing those numbers on? Gut feeling? It would be nice to have some actual numbers or comparable MTF charts to back up those claims... I know the Tamron 70-200/2.8 is a good lens, but saying there is only a 10% margin in difference between a $1400 off-brand lens and a $2200 brand-optimized lens just needs more than a gut feeling for basis.
You're just full of conjecture today, aren't you? Nothing you've said disputes anything I've said, it's just your opinion, period. Talk about gut feelings!

I don't know if it has been suggested before, but I wish we could ensure that the head coach or at least one of his staff reads some of the ideas thrown around in this community. In my opinion, every now and then, a member comes up with some really beneficial stuff. True, we are sports fans (=highly emotional, border line crazy people) and we all can sometimes get over excited, but we all have 'above basic' understanding in basketball. buklaushomey's post made me think "I would really like to see that Booker thing for a few tries".
I guess it's more relevant to Mike, but if anyone can arrange that a member of the organization hears some of those ideas it would be great. We could even simplify it by voting on the best ideas and submit them weekly/monthly to one of the assistant coaches or representative.
Your thoughts?

WORCESTER CO., Md. - A Whaleyville man was charged after he apparently took a vehicle from his job, and drove it with a suspended license.
Maryland State Police say on Tuesday at around 10:00 PM, a Trooper was on patrol, looking for stranded drivers in the snow storm, when he noticed a vehicle in a ditch on Route 610 at Donoway Road. The driver, 29-year-old Jeffery Bradley, had apparently lost control because of the heavy snow fall, and became disabled in a ditch.
According to the report, while the Trooper was speaking with Bradley, the Trooper apparently smelled alcohol, and found out that Bradley's driving privileged was suspended.
Police say they alerted the owner of the vehicle, Bradley's employer, who arrived on scene, and told them that Bradley had taken the vehicle without permission from the business.
Bradley was arrested and charged with un-authorized use of motor vehicle, DUI, and driving while suspended. He reportedly refused to submit to a breath test. Bradley was later released after seeing the District Court Commissioner.

BOSTON (AP) — Slumping David Ortiz hit a two-run homer and a sacrifice fly as the Boston Red Sox took Game 1 of the World Series, clobbering St. Louis 8-1. Mike Napoli put the Red Sox ahead with a three-run double in the first inning, and Dustin Pedroia (peh-DROY'-uh) was 2-for-4 with an RBI single and two runs scored. Jon Lester pitched shutout ball for 7 2/3 innings, limiting the Cardinals to five hits while striking out eight.
NEW YORK (AP) — Washington Redskins safety Brandon Meriweather has had his two-game suspension cut in half by an appeals officer. Meriweather's suspension came for repeated hits to the head and neck area of defenseless players, including two in Sunday's Washington-Chicago game. He was flagged for a helmet-to-helmet hit on receiver Alshon Jeffery in the fourth quarter and for a helmet-first hit to the head and neck area of receiver Brandon Marshall.
BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Browns coach Rob Chudzinski has benched ineffective quarterback Brandon Weeden and will go with Jason Campbell on Sunday against the unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs. Campbell is the third QB to start for Cleveland already this season and the 20th -- the most in the NFL -- since 1999.
NEW YORK (AP) — The NBA is changing the format for the finals, going back to the 2-2-1-1-1 setup beginning with next year's playoffs. The league has implemented a 2-3-2 format since 1985, giving the lower seed an opportunity to clinch the title at home if it split the first two games on the road. NBA owners voted unanimously in favor of the change during the final league meeting presided by outgoing commissioner David Stern.
CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cavaliers picked up the fourth-year contract options on All-Star guard Kyrie Irving and forward Tristan Thompson. Irving made the All-Star team in his second season, averaging 22.5 points and 5.9 assists in 59 games. The team also exercised the third-year options on guard Dion Waiters and forward Tyler Zeller.

Major League Soccer did not attract big numbers in its return to broadcast television. In other news, Major League Baseball scored a big increase on FOX last week, while ESPNU set a record for college football coverage.
- Nearly 600K For NBC's MLS Debut: NBC earned a 0.4 final rating and 576,000 viewers for last Saturday's Sounders/Timbers Major League Soccer match, the first MLS telecast ever on the network. By comparison, the last MLS regular season telecast on broadcast TV — a June 2008 Galaxy/United match on ABC prior to the Euro 2008 final — drew a 0.9 and 1.2 million viewers. Sounders/Timbers was outdrawn by Sunday's United States/Australia women's soccer friendly, also on NBC (0.5, 667K). (Weekend numbers from Sports Business Daily)
- Big Increase For MLB on FOX: Regional Major League Baseball action featuring Rays/Yankees drew a 1.6 final rating on FOX last Saturday afternoon, up 45% from coverage featuring Twins/Tigers last year (1.1), and up 14% from coverage featuring Braves/Mets in 2010 (1.4). (Weekend numbers from Sports Business Daily)
- ESPNU Has Best Noon ET College Football Game: Last Saturday's Virginia Tech/Pittsburgh college football game drew 679,000 viewers on ESPNU, the largest audience ever for a Noon ET college football game on the network.

While doctors are dealing with an outbreak of the flu in people, veterinarians in Vermont say they're dealing with a massive outbreak of kennel cough in dogs.
Kennel cough is a highly contagious virus and bacteria combo that gives dogs a deep, phlegmy cough so thick that some owners may mistake the sound for a dog throwing up.
Doctor John Eustice at Orchard Veterinary Hospital says he's seen more than 50 dogs with the cough in just the last two weeks-- by far the most cases he's ever had.
"Some dogs just have it for a couple days and they get over it -- where most dogs could really use antibiotics and -- for the dog's sake and the owner's sake in a lot of cases, some cough suppressants, so that both of them can sleep," Eustice says.
He says dogs with the cough should be kept away from other pets for at least two weeks to prevent the kennel cough from spreading.
Dogs can pick up the cough from kennels, dog parks and even just from contact with other canines during walks.

Tires Plus got the final OK from the Oak Creek Common Council Tuesday night to build an 8,500-square-foot facility on Howell Avenue.
The tire-change and auto-service business will be constructed at 8051 S. Howell Ave., on a vacant space just north of Sonic and east of Woodman's.
Most aldermen spoke highly of the proposal and passed the measure 5-1. Alderman Dan Jakubczyk said the demand in the city for Tire Plus' services is there, and the business is a good fit for the neighborhood.
Alderman Ken Gehl disagreed, casting the lone vote in opposition. He called the proposal a "missed opportunity" due to its location next to the former Delphi site, on the corner of Howell and Drexel.
With city officials planning a major redevelopment project at Delphi, Gehl said he was disappointed to see that type of business so close by, adding it had no synergy with the surrounding businesses.
City officials tried to address aesthetic concerns through conditions of Tire Plus' conditional-use permit. The permit prohibits any outdoor storage, junked vehicles, tires or other products, and also requires all vehicles left overnight to be kept indoors.

Young Charlottie lived by the Mountain side,
On a wild and lonely spot,
Not a dwelling house in five miles round,
Except her father's cot.
And/On many a pleasant winter night,
Young folks would gather there,
Her father kept a social house,
And she was very fair.
In a village fifteen miles away,
There's a merry ball tonight.
The air is dreadful freezing cold,
But Charlottie's heart is warm and light.
It was New Years eve, the sun was low,
Joy beamed her mild blue eyes,
As to the window she would go,
To see the sleighs pass by.
It was a New Years eve, the sun was down,
Joy beamed her mild blue eyes,
She watched until young Charley's sleigh
Came swiftly passing by.
Oh, Daughter dear the mother said,
This blanket round you fold,
'tis dreadful night to go abroad,
You will catch your death of cold.
Oh no, oh no, the daughter said,
As she laughed like a gypsie queen,
To ride in a sleigh all muffled up,
I never shall be seen.
My silken cloak will be enough,
For you know its lined throughout,
Besides I have a silken scarf,
To wrap my neck about.
Her cloak and bonnet soon was on,
She stepped into the sleigh,
And along the Mountain side they went,
For many a mile away.
Such a night said Charles I never knew,
These lines I scarce can hold,
And Charlottie said in a very feeble voice,
I'm growing very cold.
He cracked his whip, he urged his steed,
Much faster than before,
Saying five long and dreadful miles to go,
And it's o'er the ice and snow.
How fast said Charles, the frosty ice
Keeps gathering on my brow,
And Charlottie said in a very feeble voice,
I'm growing warmer now.
He drove up to the ball room door,
Stepped out and reached his hand,
He asked her once, he asked her twice,
He asked her three times oer.

I wanted to celebrate my 10,000 posts by boring you with another fanpost from me. I just took a look at the 2001/02 New York Rangers. Here was the core group of players back then: Eric Lindross, Theo Fleury, Mike York, Brian Leetch, Petr Nedved, Radek Dvorak, Vlad Malakhov, Pavel Bure (for only 12 games), Mark Messier (for only 41 games), Tom Poti, Mike Richter, and Dan Blackburn. The "prospects" at that time were the mostly infamous Pavel Brendl (already traded to Philly before the 2001/02 season), Jamie Lundmark, DOMINIC MOORE (lol), Filip Novak, Dan Blackburn, and Fedor Tyutin. Oy.
The Rangers finished 36-38-4-4 that season and did not make the playoffs. You all remember, from 1998 until after the lockout, the Rangers and us fans experienced the "dark years" where they did not make the playoffs for approximately 7 seasons (inclusive of the lockout year). It was so bad during those seasons, I remember going to games and seeing fans literally fall asleep. Just awful, like the team at that time. For while there were a lot of big names on the team, most of them were all aging and over the hill, or getting to that point for sure. This was a season that epitomized the thinking back then of getting "named" (and mostly old) players as opposed to fielding and building a competitive team for then and going forward. Not good times at all.
Fast forward to 2011/12. Eastern Conference finalists. Potential Cup contenders for 2012/13 and at least for a few years to come. A current roster that can match up with anyone in the league. And the deepest prospect pool I can ever remember the Rangers having. And that goes back to 1967 boys and girls. Other than the early 70s when we were a true Cup contender and the 1994 season of course, I have never been happier to be a Ranger fan. It's very exciting so enjoy it while we can (you go for the Cup when you can).
Thank you all for allowing me to participate on this site. It has made me an even bigger fan.
