The Chicago Bears open the pre-season next Friday against the Carolina Panthers.
Typically, the first game of the pre-season is nothing more than the first-team unit getting their feet wet while the second, third, and even fourth team-units do the full swimming test.
However, the Bears' first game of the pre-season does hold some significance.
The Bears' could potentially have three or four new starters on the offensive line. As a unit, the offensive line may be the most important unit on the team.
That is why last pre-season, the Bears' first-team offensive line played for most of the first half in the team's first pre-season games.
The reason for extended minutes of play for the Bears' first-team offensive line unit is for the players to not only establish a rapport with each other but with starting quarterback Jay Cutler as well.
Left tackle Jermon Bushrod, the Bears' prized free agent signing this off-season, hasn't practiced since Monday while dealing with a calf injury.
On Friday, Bushrod appeared without a walking boot for the first time this week, but the left tackle may not play in the team's pre-season opener.
"It'd be nice. It'd be nice to get out there and put some of this hard work that we've been doing out there against another opponent," he said Friday. "But I do not want to get it to the point where I'm out even longer."-Jermon Bushrod, CBS Chicago
Bushrod is an important player to the Bears' offensive line. Bushrod will be protecting Cutler's blind-side, that would be why the left tackle needs to be on the field in order to establish a trust with the quarterback.
Bushrod will likely return to practice next week, but his status for the Bears' pre-season opener remains uncertain.

What's Ahead for TVs in 2012
by Leslie Meredith, TechNewsDaily Senior Writer
January 09 2012 11:47 AM ET
CREDIT: Panasonic
Replacing their main TV with a bigger, thinner and brighter model is at the top of many Americans' lists at the start of a new year. While new TV technology will become available in mid-2012, the deals on current technologies will begin later this month.
The TV cycle is largely predictable, but 2012 will offer several surprises. Learn what to buy and when to get the best deal.
Each year, the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas draws crowds to see the latest gadgets. Announcements have already included TVs that will be thinner than ever, thanks to OLED technology, and glasses-free 3D TVs. But those features won't be budget-friendly. By contrast, current technology will be priced to sell.
"As new HDTVs, home theater systems and more are unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show mid-month, retailers will begin to put old stock on clearance in an attempt to make room for the incoming stock," Lindsay Sakraida of DealNews said in a post. "Keep in mind, though, that while we'll begin to see sales in January, discounts will also spill heavily into February."
Expect to see deals on HDTVs from Samsung, Sony, LG and Panasonic, retailers that refrained from deep discounts during Black Friday. Sales will be timed ahead of this year's Super Bowl, set for Feb. 5, the London Olympics beginning July 27, and, of course, the annual Black Friday spree in November.
Bigger will be cheaper
Panasonic unveiled a 150-inch plasma TV at CES in 2008 and brings it back each year; crowds still gather to experience its towering size. While home TVs have not reached such gargantuan proportions, consumers continue to buy ever-larger sets. Fifty-five-inch displays have become the new standard.
TVs with screens that diagonally measure 40 inches and larger are expected to grow 12 percent in 2012, while those under 40 inches will decline by 3 percent, according to NPD DisplaySearch analysts. Sizes up to 50 inches will carry an average price below $1,000 in 2012, and 60-inch and larger displays will fall below $2,000 for the first time.
Plasma's bargain reign ending
As the price gap between LCD and plasma continues to close, the demand for plasma has fallen, prompting NPD to lower its 2012 sales forecast for plasma TV. Plasma sales grew 30 percent in 2010 because of favorable pricing compared with LCD sets — especially in the larger sizes — but growth fell to 11 percent in 2011. That means plasma will continue to be a good value throughout this year as production wanes and retailers cut prices to clear their shelves.
Pricey innovation: Glasses-free 3D, OLED and 4K
Philadelphia-based Stream TV Network has announced it will unveil its "unprecedented autostereoscopic 3D imagery" at CES. The company promises its technology will convert all 2D shows into lifelike 3D without glasses or discomfort. Further, it will "tweak" current 3D content so that viewers can watch it without glasses. The company's product is designed to be built into existing TVs and other media devices.
Samsung, which holds 61 percent of the 3D TV market, and its competitors will continue to include a 3D feature in high-end models. The premium for 3D dropped from 30 percent in the third quarter of 2011 to 17 percent in the last quarter, according to NPD. Watch for 3D premiums to approach zero as 2012 proceeds.
Higher resolutions are also on the board for CES. LG has announced it will show an 84-inch 4K 3D HDTV at the show. The 4K stands for 4,000 and refers to a 4,096- by 3,072-pixel array (sometimes called ultra HD), compared to the 1920- by 1080-pixel found in 1080p HDTVs. Currently there are 4K projectors on the market but no TVs. While 4K could be a boon to 3D TV viewing, where half an image is delivered to each eye to bring 3D images up to full HD in passive sets , four times the resolution will be nearly unnoticeable even on standard 60-inch TVs.
Samsung and LG will show off their first big OLED TVs at the show (OLED stands for "organic light emitting diodes)," but these new ultra-thin (3/16 of an inch), 55-inch sets are not expected to ship until the second half of 2012, around the time of the London Olympics. Prices may top $4,000 initially and aren't expected to come down until late 2013.
Best deal for 2012
Look for a name brand, no frills 50- to 60-inch 1080p Roku HD palm-size box for $80.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My son is in 2nd grade and has the most awesome teacher - Mr. Heck. He is deeply committed to seeing his students succeed and takes a person interest in them. Last year our son had a wonderful teacher, too. The entire atmosphere of the school and the staff attitudes are positive and helpful. It's a pleasure having our son at Stanley. His Kindergarten year at a different school that was ranked as one of the best in Wichita, was the polar opposite of Stanley. He's now excited to learn and is excelling in nearly every subject because of the positive feedback and encouragement he receives.

Single, Female and Ready to Date
- Thursday, September 29, 2011
EDITOR'S NOTE: He Said-She Said is a monthly advice column featuring a question from a Crosswalk.com reader with responses from a male and female point of view. If you've got a question about anything related to singleness or living the single life, please submit it to He Said-She Said (selected questions will be posted anonymously).
QUESTION: I'm a single Christian woman in my early 40s who has never been in a serious relationship. I've spent most of my life focused on the Lord, ministry, traveling, education, building relationships with my family, friends, and career. Because I have no husband or children, I've "occupied" [my time] by doing the things I felt God led me to do. Now (maybe too late?) I've realized that I can do both; I can live a full, interesting, godly life AND I can be open to a husband . . . but when it comes to relationships, the average pre-teen has more experience than me. I hesitate to respond to men sometimes because I wonder if they'll think I'm some sort of freak because I've not had experience in this area. I really do want to meet someone and the circumstances in my life are such that I can do that now. I am emotionally and spiritually ready. But I'm not sure where to start and how to handle the dreaded questions: "How many relationships have you been in before? What was the longest relationship that you've ever had?" Nor am I really sure where to start. I'd appreciate any advice that you can give.
HE SAID: One of the most common (non-physical) exercises we, as humans, seem to participate in is the "what if" game. We consider and contemplate all sorts of various ways a situation may turn out, oftentimes leaving us with a negative slant or a pessimistic outlook to our circumstance.
When we apply this innate response to dating, we can conjure up how an entire date "will" go, conversations included, long before we meet anyone. Oftentimes, this just leads to creating fear and doubt about ourselves.
What if he wonders why I'm not married?
What if she asks about past relationships?
What if he thinks this?
What if she doesn't like that?
What if, what if, what if.
We can experience an entire relationship in our mind prior to our first meeting. Heaven forbid should any of our scenarios come to pass, which would only fuel our lack of confidence and, in a strange way, bolster the belief in our "instinctive skill."
I once heard nearly 85 percent of the things most people worry about never come to pass. That percentage may even be higher when it comes to dating!
Matthew has some great instruction for all of us: Do not worry about your life (Matthew 6:25).
So you're in your 40s and never been in a serious relationship.
Although you may see this as a drawback, it can also be viewed as an advantage, especially over those "pre-teens" you're comparing yourself to. Their relationships are typically superficial, not based on personal qualities or eternal values, last only a couple of weeks and often end unpleasantly.
For those who have been in a committed relationship and have experienced a break-up or divorce, there may be emotional scars, which if left unresolved, can cause difficulties and impact subsequent relationships.

How-to add your Starbucks card to Passbook
Summary: In one of the biggest and most anticipated iOS app updates in recent memory, Starbucks tonight pushed version 2.4 of its app with support for Passbook.
Coffee junkies rejoice! The Starbucks iOS app (free, App Store) was just updated to include Passbook support:
Race you to the App Store, go! #passbook twitter.com/Starbucks/stat…— Starbucks Coffee (@Starbucks) October 4, 2012
Passbook is Apple's new iOS 6 app that allows you to store boarding passes, movie tickets, retail coupons, loyalty cards, etc. When you arrive at a relevant location the pass or coupon appears on your iPhone's lock screen. While sure to be welcomed by many, the update comes three days later than Starbucks' self-imposed deadline for Passbook support which came and went on Sunday.
Here's how to enable Passbook in Starbucks 2.4:
- Update to iOS 6 (if you haven't already)
- Update to Starbucks 2.4 via the App Store
- Launch the Starbucks app and touch Card > Manage > Add Card to Passbook
- Optional: Select Stores > Set a Favorite Store
- Walk into your local Starbucks and look on your iPhone lock screen.
9to5Mac reports that Starbucks 2.4 (curiously) doesn't support the iPhone 5's additional 176 vertical pixels and Passbook doesn't work in Canada and the United Kingdom.

Reviews for Haunted LyricsPerformed by Moody Blues
Add Your New Review About The Song
Haunted by this song.... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/5/10
This song is so beautiful! The instrument work is a bit strange, but the lyrics stay with me. This song has such poetic sadness and beauty, and it's hard to describe the affect it has on me. I'm currently listening to a live Moody Blues album, and this is one of the best songs, though it's tied with "Nights in White Satin" for my favorite song on the album.

As careers in science, technology, engineering, and math become more prevalent, community colleges are shifting their focus to meet demand and secure their place in a rapidly changing educational landscape.
A recent study reveals that job applicants with a credential or associate's degree from a community college have slightly better chances of getting a job interview than students who attend a for-profit college or university. Since community colleges are much more budget friendly than for-profit institutions and have much better job placement results, community colleges are a much better option for employment-minded students.
Nearly 52 percent of community college students in the United States begin their freshman year in at least one remedial class. These courses, which help students acquire knowledge and skills they should have acquired in high school, do not count toward their degree requirements. As a result, students are taking longer than ever to obtain their degree, if they obtain one at all.

It's official! Jersey Shore's most notorious party girl is finally a new mom. That's right, Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi has had her baby. People reports that Lorenzo Dominic LaValle was born today, weighing a wee 6 pounds, 5 ounces. And no surprise, she's already head over heels over her babe, tweeting: "I am SO IN LOVE with my son Lorenzo Dominic! I had my little man last night, healthy at 6lbs. HE'S MY WORLD!"
Snooki and fiance Jionni LaValle had already shared that Lorenzo was the couple's top name contender (along with Jionni Jr.), and frankly, we're a little relieved that they chose the former. Sure, the double" L" alliteration is a love-it-or-hate-it thing, but we happen to think that Lorenzo, which is a Latin name meaning "man from Laurentum" (an ancient city in present-day Italy) and is used in Italian and Spanish, is a super-cute moniker for a kid whose parents both have Italian heritage. Plus, the nickname possibilities -- Ren, Renzo -- are way better than the boring old "JJ" (or worse, Junior) that the kid would likely be saddled with if he shared his Dad's name. In fact, it looks like the new parents have already decided on one: Snooki's rep told MTV that "Nicole, Jionni and Enzo are doing great!" Enzo -- adorable!
Lorenzo also fits into the normal-but-not-common rubric that seems to be the baby-naming ideal for so many parents: It's currently the 310th most popular boy name in the country, according to Social Security Administration's list of popular baby names. (That's down from a high of 267 in 1985 -- likely attributable to Lorenzo Lamas!)
Since Snooki shared her baby name choice early, we're glad she didn't change her mind once she met her little man. (What if he'd looked like a Jionni Junior after all?) We can only image how much monogrammed baby swag Snooks and Jionni have already received -- and we're sure they're beyond thrilled to finally be able to use it all. So congratulations, Snooki and Jionni, and welcome baby Lorenzo!

Lakota is typical of public schools. The school boards, administrators, and teacher unions all claim they want what is best for the children. But when money gets tight, the first thing to cut in spending is: busing, sports, and teachers. The reality of the cuts should be: administrators, sports, and other extra-curricular activities that families […]

Small quakes strike Ventura County
May 7, 2013 7:45 AM
PASADENA (CNS) – Two small earthquakes struck Ventura County today, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The first temblor struck at 2:05 a.m. at a depth of 13 miles with a magnitude of 3.5, its epicenter six miles northeast of Ventura, and the second — measuring 3.7 — 12 seconds later, at 2:06 a.m., six miles under the surface and 14 miles north of Ventura, according to computer-generated USGS reports.
Neither report was immediately reviewed by a seismologist.

Take out the second quarter, and the Chicago Bulls outscored the Miami Heat, 77-70.
Trouble is, that pesky second quarter counts just the same as the other three, and the Heat pounded the returning Derrick Rose and his teammates to the tune of a 37-18 score. A 54-33 halftime deficit was too much for Chicago to overcome, and they ultimately fell to the defending NBA champions by the score of 107-95.
Rose played for the first time in just over 18 months, looking rusty at times and finishing with just 10 points on 4 of 15 shooting with just 4 assists and 1 rebound while turning the ball over 5 times. He also shot just 1 of 7 from long range on the night.
It's hard to beat up Rose for his performance given the amount of time he's been out of action. Carlos Boozer was really the only bright spot for the Bulls, scoring 19 points on 7 of 11 shooting with 5 rebounds, a steal, and a block by halftime and finishing the game with 31 points on 13 of 18 shooting.
Jimmy Butler played well, scoring 20 points on 6 of 12 shooting and chipping in 5 steals, 3 assists, and 3 rebounds. Mike Dunleavy came off the bench cold, missing his first 5 shots before knocking down a couple of three-pointers midway through the fourth quarter. All in all, the Bulls' offense sputtered for much of the night, only showing life in the opening minutes of the game and in the latter stages of the fourth quarter with a 29-12 run that brought them within 95-87 with two and a half minutes remaining.
LeBron James struggled for much of the night as well, shooting just 5 of 11 from the floor and scoring 17 points, although he did pitch in 8 assists, 6 rebounds, and 1 steal in a typical do-it-all performance from the reigning MVP. Dwayne Wade had a similarly ho-hum opener, scoring just 13 points on 5 of 13 from the field.
It was really an ugly game, as often is the case in season openers. There was plenty of rust to be seen all over the court and on both squads, and it was in no way limited to Rose. The Heat eventually pulled away in the final two minutes after the Bulls managed to get it down to an eight point game.
Boozer and Butler were the only two players on either team to score more than twenty points, and each team turned the ball over an unsightly 18 times. Joakim Noah was the only player to hit double digits in rebounds, pulling down 11 boards in just 20 minutes of court time as he continues to nurse a groin injury.
The Heat will be in the City of Brotherly Love tomorrow evening to take on the Philadelphia
Tankers 76ers, while the Bulls will be off until Thursday night, when they'll host the New York Knicks on TNT.

Urban farming initiative plants seeds for change at Hillsdale Park
In the middle of winter, local gardeners are already planning ahead for sunnier, warmer times in the coming months.
This spring, a site at Hillsdale Park, 3205 South 3200 West, will bloom into the newest community garden sponsored by the Salt Lake County Urban Farming Initiative.
Salt Lake County Urban Farming Director Julie Peck Dabling said the local garden spot was selected due to interest from residents in the community.
"It invites community pride and involvement," she said.
This is the third year Salt Lake County officials have teamed up with Wasatch Community Gardens to help community gardeners transform open space in parks into sites to grow fresh fruit, vegetables, herbs and flowers.
The county Urban Farming Initiative was developed in 2009 to help improve open space areas by giving the public an opportunity to use the land for gardening.
The idea was to take publicly owned lands that were unused and lease them out to farmers and gardeners. The goal was to reduce unsightly weeds and crime, while generating revenue and encouraging conservation of the land.
The Urban Farming program provides the land and helps the gardeners to organize. Anyone from the community can sign up to get involved in a community garden. In return for a plot, gardeners must commit to volunteering time to help run the garden and keep up the site.
The community garden model has already been put into place in two other parks in Salt Lake County. Each was selected from a list of possible sites after the community in the area gathered signatures and put together an application to demonstrate support for the project.
In the first year of the program, a site was selected in South Salt Lake City. The Harmony Park Community Garden, 3700 South West Temple, is currently used by neighbors and refugee families.
Last spring, a similar garden was established in Millcreek at Ben Franklin Park, 850 East Scott Avenue. The Millcreek gardeners named the site the Creekside Community Garden and have installed a tool shed and disability access amenities for gardeners.
This year, Hillsdale was selected for the program after residents organized to demonstrate support for the project. An open house to begin planning for the growth this spring was held during the first week of February.
It's still early, so there's time to learn more about the project and get involved. If you would like a site within the garden, or to get more information about how community gardens operate, you can contact Wasatch Community Gardens and Giles Larsen at firstname.lastname@example.com.

2011 Lincoln MKSBlue, 6 Cyl, Automatic, AWD

Price: $24,998 Mileage: 44668
A Bench-Warmer In Waiting I hail from Cleveland, and that means I'm familiar with sports franchises that are always falling short of championships. The Indians, the Browns, the Cavs – they've all come close, but being a resident of C-Town means learning to appreciate the effort more than a reward that never seems to come. So I can appreciate the situation in which Lincoln finds itself today, one where the past is full of repeated attempts to be competitive, and looming on the future's horizon is the next hope on which everything hinges.

1. Lighten first: Primary tones look muddy unless you start with a pale base. Dab your hairline with petroleum jelly and use rubber gloves to prevent staining. Follow dye instructions for processing, but remove color after an hour to prevent damage. A semi-permanent formula like Manic Panic Semi-permanent Hair Color Cream ($10 each; rickysnyc.com) works best.
2. Detox with a rich conditioner, preferably one packed with protein like Motions Deep Penetrating Treatment ($5; drugstore.com).

Obviously he can wrestle just great but so can Tyson Kidd and there's no money in him, personality comes first. That gimmick is dead in the water, nobody cares how many languages you can speak. It's not even heelish, Rey Mysterio is bilingual, so what?
He needs to make some changes.
Drop the 5 languages thing as I said, it's not marketable, it's not a top level gimmick. If they want to do the "very European" thing, I guess that's fine. The anti-American foreigner thing has been done to death, but more so with characters from the Middle East, Russia, Japan, etc.
Swiss Death should be his finisher, not his setup, but his actual finisher on anybody that he can physically throw in the air. If he runs into somebody like Clay, that's when he wins with the Gotch Style Neutralizer, or if he runs into somebody like Big Show who he can't do the Neutralizer on (I would assume), have a 3'rd finisher. Maybe a move off the top rope, maybe a submission, something. I'm sure this will NOT be a difficult task for somebody who's been in ROH.
Finally, he should make a change to his look. Those thigh straps have got to go, they look so stupid. Give him kneepads like he had in FCW for a while.
All of that is drastically going to help his overall image and get people to take him more seriously.
This. He needs to drop that awful gimmick. It's stupid and why should we boo it? Exactly.

Facebook friends could change your credit score
A handful of tech startups are using social data to determine the risk of lending to people who have a difficult time accessing credit. Traditional lenders rely heavily on credit scores like FICO, which look at payments history. They typically steer clear of the millions of people who don't have credit scores.
But some financial lending companies have found that social connections can be a good indicator of a person's creditworthiness.
One such company, Lenddo, determines if you're friends on Facebook with someone who was late paying back a loan to Lenddo. If so, that's bad news for you. It's even worse news if the delinquent friend is someone you frequently interact with.
"It turns out humans are really good at knowing who is trustworthy and reliable in their community," said Jeff Stewart, a co-founder and CEO of Lenddo. "What's new is that we're now able to measure through massive computing power."
This sounds really sinister but it also sounds like another case of companies buying lots of expensive data and not really having a good idea how to use it? Like, let's assume you don't have FICO or some similar measure of credit score. I don't see how Facebook friend interactions are going to a better measure of your disposable income than, say, the part of town you live in, your most recent pay stub, and your ability to put down some cash as collateral. Certainly it's a whole lot easier to game social media (share lots of pictures of cute dogs with your wealthy buddy who loves dogs!) than disposable income.
This seems like a really underhanded way to use someone's socioeconomic status against them, and this method of background checking will probably not catch on.

OK I swear this is my last Anne post—for the time being. BUT LOOK AT THIS PICTURE. It's Anne having fun in her new digs! If that doesn't brighten your day, you have no heart and I pity your current and/or future spouses. Though I'd pity them anyway since marriage is a total joke and a failed institution. DUDE, I'm TOTALLY KIDDING. Let's get married and adopt young children! In pairs. I want a nice set.
She's in her 40-ton sand pit in the picture above and her enclosure is 13 acres. She's also got a shallow pond! And lots of stuff to eat! According to the Daily Mail, "Yesterday, she wolfed down two bales of hay, a small mountain of grain, dozens of apples, countless bananas (she prefers them lightly browned), bags of carrots and the odd handful of wine gums, all washed down with gallons of water—and still had room for her favourite snack of banana or jam sandwiches, on brown." Jam sandwiches! Adorbs!
The facility she's at, Longleat, now wants to become the U.K.'s first elephant sanctuary: "Plans are afoot to build a custom-made elephant enclosure, with swimming pool, central heating, wading area, enormous sandpit, proper fencing and umpteen acres that would become the first port of call in the future for distressed elephants from Europe and further afield to recuperate after appalling treatment." That's DOPE. They are thinking they could house six elephants at a time; some for rehab before going to the bigger sanctuaries in the U.S. and some as permanent residents—e.g. BFFs for Anne!
These Longleat people are crazy and hilarious: "We need to stimulate her and make sure she isn't bored. But we mustn't forget that she's an old lady. And just like any old lady, some days she'll be in the mood to go out and charge round the shops, and others she'll want to put her feet up and watch Loose Women on telly." Ha! Wacky Brits. If you want to help build this new sanctuary by donating CASH MONEY, you can go to the Longleat site and click to donate from there. They are saying the planned accommodations will cost £1 million sterling to build—what kind of elephant enclosure does that buy?! I know the GBP dominate the currency exchange but I would think it would cost like 10 times that amount. BUT! I'm not an elephant-sanctuary-building-mathematician so what do I know! But you'd think an elephant sanctuary would cost more than a one-bedroom in Manhattan.

More good news: Anne arrives at new home, U.K. may ban live animals in circuses! »
Here's a picture of Anne from the Daily Mail being greeted at her new home at Longleat Safari Park! She has a six-acre enclosure there, which is a far cry from the miles and miles wild elephants usually roam, but her arthritis tells me maybe that's OK.
I am still so impressed by how quickly the people in the U.K. reacted to Anne's terrible situation, and how quickly she was moved to a brand new home. Amazing. What's more, it looks like Britain will ban live animals in circuses (dead ones, I presume, are totally OK). The ban hasn't happened yet but Environment Secretary Caroline Spelman is "minded" to pass the ban. The public shock of Anne's treatment is the catalyst: "The tragic plight of Anne once again mobilised the people. From protesting on the streets, to lobbying MPs, the past week has been filled with cries for a ban." AWESOME! I'm so jealous! Maybe we can just get the Brits over here and they can care about all the captive animals in the United States.

Anne the elephant is free from the circus! »
Yay! Anne is retired! You know I've been following the case of Anne, the abused elephant, very closely so I am glad to say she is officially leaving the circus! She will be moving within a week. Above is a picture of the Longleat Safari Park, Anne's new home. It's not an insanely awesome elephant sanctuary but it's also not the zoo and she won't have to travel very far so I think it's great! I know the circus owners were like determined that they would only release Anne if she went somewhere that they could visit often. Um, yeah, maybe you could have done more visiting before, dirtbags. From the Daily Mail:
Following intense discussions lasting six hours, an agreement was reached between the safari park and animal welfare groups including Animal Defenders International, which obtained the footage.
The RSPCA, Born Free, the British Association of Zoos and Aquariums and Specialist Wildlife Services were also involved.
At Longleat, Anne will have three experienced keepers and an elephant specialist catering for her every need. Longleat has even pledged to bring in a herd of elephants to keep her company, if it is judged to be in her best interests.
I'm so happy for Anne! But I must remind you that there are many elephants in circuses in the U.S. and no one seems to be upset about their shocking abuse footage. I mean, the footage below has been out for years:
It's amazing that the British people reacted so strongly and quickly to Anne's plight—I wish that would happen here! I wish all the circus elephants were free! We have two elephants in the U.S. that IDA says are in need of dire rescue—read about Liz and Bimbo—but you don't see them in the local paper. We should figure out just what made people react to Anne's suffering so that we can get them to care about all the other elephants that are still being abused in circuses. Unfortunately, I think what made them care more is that they are not Americans. Americans tolerate so much violence against people, it's no wonder violence against animals barely registers. But maybe I'm just cynical.

The ORCA is a unique autolock sleeve/gate that can be set in the unlocked position. When you open the gate it is just like opening a non-locker, but the act of opening the gate "triggers" it and when the gate closes it will autolock just like a regular autolocking carabiner.
Why it's good
The ORCA can be unlocked on your rack for easy access without any of the gymnastics involved in opening a conventional autolock in tight situations. Then when you clip it in something it will lock. Or, if you put it in a bolt hanger, tripod head, etc., and hold the sleeve when closing it will remain unlocked. Then you can turn the biner over and install a rope, pulley, etc., just like it was a non-locker, but when the gate snaps shut it will be locked. When climbing something sketchy, do you ever want to use a locker for your first placement? Use it for the bottom biner in a quickdraw and you can simply put the rope in and it will lock when it closes.Who can use it?The ORCA is very versatile but it is not like any other carabiner and you must understand how it works. It is for experienced, advanced users

The Tadpoles of IC 410 - Partly obscured by foreground dust, the nebula itself surrounds NGC 1893, a young galactic cluster of stars that energizes the glowing gas. Composed of denser cooler gas and dust the tadpoles are around 10 light-years long, potentially sites of ongoing star formation. Sculpted by wind and radiation from the cluster stars, their tails trail away from the cluster's central region. IC 410 lies some 12,000 light-years away, toward the constellation Auriga
IC 1396 H-Alpha - Clouds of glowing hydrogen gas mingle ominously with dark dust lanes in this close-up of IC 1396, an active star forming region some 2,000 light years away in the constellation Cepheus. In this and other similar emission nebulae, energetic ultraviolet light from a hot young star strips electrons from the surrounding hydrogen atoms. As the electrons and atoms recombine they emit longer wavelength, lower energy light in a well known characteristic pattern of bright spectral lines. At visible wavelengths, the strongest emission line in this pattern is in the red part of the spectrum and is known as "Hydrogen-alpha" or just H-alpha. Part of IPHAS, a survey of H-alpha emission in our Milky Way Galaxy, this image spans about 20 light-years and highlights bright, dense regions within IC 1396, likely sites where massive new stars are born.

Grand Spiral Galaxy NGC 7424 - About 40 million light-years distant in the headlong constellation Grus, this island universe is also about 100,000 light-years across making it remarkably similar to our own Milky Way. Following along the winding arms, many bright clusters of massive young stars can be found. The star clusters themselves are several hundred light-years in diameter.
Spiky stars and spooky shapes abound in this deep cosmic skyscape. Its well-composed field of view covers about 2 Full Moons on the sky toward the constellation Pegasus. Other galaxies far beyond the Milky Way are visible through the ghostly apparitions, including the striking spiral galaxy NGC 7497 some 60 million light-years away.
Constellation Pegasus
Cataloged as Sharpless 2-308, this huge cosmic bubble lies some 5,200 light-years away toward the constellation of the Big Dog (Canis Major) and covers slightly more of the sky than a Full Moon.
Messier 17 lies some 5,500 light-years away in the nebula-rich constellation Sagittarius.
AE Aurigae and the Flaming Star Nebula - The bright star AE Aurigae, visible near the nebula center, is so hot it is blue, emitting light so energetic it knocks electrons away from atoms in the surrounding gas. When an atom recaptures an electron, light is emitted creating the surrounding emission nebula. In this cosmic portrait, the Flaming Star nebula lies about 1,500 light years distant, spans about 5 light years, and is visible with a small telescope toward the constellation of the Charioteer (Auriga).
A Perseid meteor blazes through the night sky near the constellation Cassiopeia, a celestial queen, in this eye-popping view.
Astrophotographer VegaStar Carpentier took this stunning photo on Aug.11, 2012, in Épernay, Champagne-Ardenne, France, using a Canon EOS 1000D.
The Perseid meteor shower has been observed by humans each summer for more than 2,000 years, It occurs when the Earth passes through debris left from the comet Swift-Tuttle. The dust and ice begin to burn when it reaches Earth's atmosphere providing a fiery display for those who watch in late July or early August.
The constellation Cassiopeia, named after a mythical Greek queen who boasted about her beauty, can also be seen on the right of the image. This constellation is easily recognizable due to its "W" shape and bright, glimmering stars.

FIGURE 1.1 The solar system and its nearby galactic neighborhood are illustrated here on a logarithmic scale extending from <1 to 1 million AU. The Sun and its planets are shielded by a bubble of solar wind—the heliosphere—and the boundary between the solar wind and interstellar plasma is called the heliopause. Beyond this bubble is a largely unknown region—interstellar space. NOTE: The G cloud is a cloud of interstellar gas near the Local Interstellar Cloud in which the solar system is embedded.

have their own magnetospheres2 and atmospheres. These magnetosphere-atmosphere systems are often strongly coupled, and they mediate the solar wind interaction with the planet (or moon) in ways unique to each body. Moreover, as human exploration extends farther into space—by means of both robotic probes and human spaceflight—and as society's technological infrastructure is linked increasingly to space-based assets and impacted by the dynamics of the space environment, the need to characterize, understand, and predict the dynamics of our environment in space becomes ever more pressing.
As a discipline, modern solar and space physics—now also referred to as heliophysics—can trace its origins back to the evening of January 31, 1958, when a Juno (Jupiter-C) rocket blasted into space, lofting the first U.S. artificial Earth satellite into orbit. This spacecraft, dubbed Explorer I, joined Sputnik II, a satellite that had been launched 2 months earlier by the Soviet Union. The Explorer I mission was truly groundbreaking because it carried a small scientific payload, prepared by a team of university researchers led by James A. Van Allen, that would make the first revolutionary discovery of the space age, namely, that
2 Earth's magnetosphere is formed by the interaction of the solar wind and our planet's intrinsic magnetic field.

For those followers on Tumblr, I wanted to let you know about my new project which I just launched today, PowerStats101.com
If you liked my writing about the whiteboards and player evaluations, then you'll love PowerStats which takes into consideration the two most important factors in soccer: what happens at the change of possession and what takes place in the box. All other statistics are ancillary.
In the PowerStats system, we track 20 statistics and, via a formula, rate strikers, playmakers, and defenders together.
Currently, we have all of Manchester United's 2011 EPL stats, LA Galaxy's 2011 MLS stats, and other Champions League, and international games.
The website will feature my writing as well, so you'll get the explanation along with the stats.

Natca Chief Calls for More Scrutiny of FAA's NextGen
"We believe that Congress should call for an immediate, comprehensive evaluation of NextGen, before additional funds to implement it are expended," Natca president Patrick Forrey said yesterday at the Washington, D.C. Aero Club. "Until a reappraisal is completed, the FAA should suspend all ADS-B contract activities." While Natca said it endorses any technological advance to improve air traffic control operations, "NextGen, as presently conceived, cannot" do what was promised, he noted. While NextGen advocates point to new technology as a way to overcome the limiting factors of weather and runway capacity, "For us controllers, time is measured in distance, and one minute equals three miles of separation. So, regardless of how closely spaced aircraft are on approach, only one every minute, under ideal circumstances, can land," Forrey countered. According to Natca, the FAA needs to focus its resources on completing the 30 projects, including ASDE-X and several controller automation systems, that form NextGen's building blocks and other modernization initiatives vital to what Forrey dubbed "NowGen." He believes "these projects can ease congestion and delays and confer needed safety and efficiency benefits immediately, to an ATC system under significant stress."

Here is the 2014 Vikings preseason schedule:
- Week 1: vs. Oakland Raiders
- Week 2: vs. Arizona Cardinals
- Week 3: at Kansas City Chiefs
- Week 4: at Tennessee Titans
Looks like Minnesota will get both home games first and then go on the road for the final two. Hopefully, this will help the team get better adjusted to TCF Stadium (aka The Gopher Hole).

Teachers: why are you taking your bag?
This happened in my English class one time and the girl who was going picked up her bag as she got up and the male teacher just said "Put your bag down and go to the bathroom." and without any hesitation she just said, "I need something in it there is blood coming out of my vagina." He never made girls leave their bags again.

10/19 AFL update – Saturday's game
Bijan Rademacher had two hits, including a RBI single in the second inning, while Addison Russell and Dan Vogelbach scored two runs each in the Mesa Solar Sox's 8-4 win Saturday over Salt River Rafters. There are no games Sunday. Arizona Fall League play resumes Monday with the Solar Sox facing the Scottsdale Scorpions at Scottsdale Stadium. You can follow the AFL on their website.
10/18 Littlefield to Tigers
Dave Littlefield, who has been with the Cubs since 2007, most recently as a Major League scout, was expected to join the Tigers, according to sources. Littlefield, the former Pirates general manager, was hired by former Cubs GM Jim Hendry in 2007 to be a scout.

10/18 AFL update – Friday's game
Dan Vogelbach walked and scored a run in Mesa Solar Sox's 5-3 loss to Surprise Saguaros on Friday in Arizona Fall League play. Jacob Hannemann was 0-for-4 for Mesa. Gerardo Concepcion walked one in one inning of relief. On Saturday, the Solar Sox play host to the Salt River Rafters at Cubs Park in Mesa. First pitch is scheduled for 6:35 p.m. MT. Sunday is a day off. Check the Arizona Fall League website for more information.
10/17 Wrigley Field update
If you walk by Wrigley Field, you'll notice a large gap in the left field wall. And soon there will be one in right field as well. Crews are taking down the left and right field bleachers as part of the four-year, $575 million Wrigley Field renovation project.
The first phase of the privately funded project, to be completed this offseason, is infrastructure work. The ballpark's structural steel and foundation will be strengthened and much of the concrete in the bleachers will be replaced. The first phase also includes the expansion and improvement of the left- and right field bleachers, which were updated after the 2005 season. The usable bricks from the outfield walls will be stored until construction of the new outer wall begins.
The changes are needed to support the new 3,990-square-foot video board in left field and the 2,225-square-foot video board in right field, which are to be ready by Opening Day 2015.
Crews also are digging in the parking lot west of Wrigley Field, which will be part of the new home clubhouse. That will not be ready until the 2016 season.
Fans who purchased commemorative brick pavers that were installed outside the Clark and Addison street entrance should note that those pavers will be preserved.
The Cubs have established a website, http://www.wrigleyfield.com, for fans to follow the renovation work, called the 1060 Project. That number, for those who don't know, is Wrigley Field's address.

10/17 25th anniversary
I was in the second row of the football press box at Candlestick Park on Oct. 17, 1989, and had just set a cup of coffee down next to my computer when the floor started to rise and fall. My coffee cup bounced off the table top. Then the rolling motion stopped. A Chicago sportswriter, Dave van Dyke, who was in the front row, yelled, "Earthquake." A magnitude 6.9 quake had struck minutes before the start of Game 3 of the 1989 World Series between the Giants and Athletics.
We packed up our gear, and connected with other Chicago writers, who were stationed in the auxiliary box in the stands. They saw the front glass of the football press box bending in and out. Someone found a live phone line in another aux box and we took turns dictating updates from under a table. We shared a ride with a Boston writer, the late Larry Whiteside, to downtown San Francisco. It was eerie. All of the clocks had stopped at 5:04 p.m., the time the quake hit.
We found a pay phone that worked in the lobby of a hotel, and dictated copy, then made our way to our hotel on Fisherman's Wharf. The hotel offered flashlights and candles, and had a strange array of food available, most of them desserts. With the electricity out, they didn't want to waste anything.
The next day, we toured the Marina area and saw the devastation. At first, I took pictures. Then I stopped. It was too sad. But all the people we met seemed to be handling their losses well. They were alive, and that's what mattered.
On my home office wall, I have a photo that was taken a couple hours before the quake hit. It's of me and my husband-to-be on the field at Candlestick, and the video board behind us says, "Welcome to Game 3 of the 1989 World Series." Baseball eventually resumed. But every time I return to San Francisco and pass Candlestick, I'm reminded of that day. It was 25 years ago today that the earthquake hit, and in November, we'll celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. If we could survive a quake, we could survive anything.

10/17 Giants vs. Royals
After two thrilling Championship Series, the field for the World Series is set. The Giants, who beat the Cardinals 6-3 on a walk-off home run by Travis Ishikawa on Thursday, will represent the NL; the red-hot Royals, who haven't lost a game this postseason, won the AL pennant.
Game 1 of the best of seven series is Tuesday in Kansas City. Who do you like and why?
10/17 AFL update – Thursday's game
Dan Vogelbach went 2-for-4 with one RBI and Addison Russell had a hit and scored two runs in the Mesa Solar Sox's 6-2 win over the Peoria Javelinas Thursday in Arizona Fall League play. Vogelbach doubled in the fourth, driving in Russell, for the Solar Sox's first run.
Vogelbach admitted he was pressing at the start of the AFL season.
"Early on, I was trying to do too much and not swinging at good pitches," he said. "A combination of that and pitchers here being as good as they are, it's not going to work."
Vogelbach and Russell know each other well, having played on a travel team while in high school in Florida.
"He's fun to watch and it's even better when you're on his team," Vogelbach said of Russell. "He has the 'it' factor that they talk about. He takes good at-bats all the time. When he hits the ball, it's loud. I'm not a pitcher, but I think I speak for them that he's a guy you want at shortstop or second base."
Ivan Pineyro, who pitched for Double-A Tennessee this past season, started and threw three scoreless innings, giving up four hits and striking out three. Zach Cates threw two scoreless innings in relief. On Friday, the Solar Sox play host to the Surprise Saguaros at Cubs Park in Mesa.
10/16 AFL update – Wednesday's game
Addison Russell hit a RBI double and C.J. Edwards threw three scoreless innings in the Mesa Solar Sox's 5-2 win over Peoria Javelinas in Arizona Fall League play Wednesday. Bijan Rademacher had two hits for Mesa. Edwards gave up one hit, walked one and struck out three in his second AFL start.
"It was pretty good," Edwards said of his outing. "I went in today just focused on throwing strikes, trying to get ahead and stay ahead."
The Solar Sox play host to the Javelinas on Thursday at Cubs Park in Mesa. First pitch was scheduled for 6:35 p.m. MT.
10/15 AFL update – Tuesday's game
Addison Russell scored two runs but it wasn't enough as the Scottsdale Scorpions beat the Mesa Solar Sox, 10-7, in Arizona Fall League play Tuesday. Gerardo Concepcion gave up three runs on one hit — a home run — and two walks over 1 2/3 innings. The Solar Sox travel to Surprise Stadium Wednesday to face the Peoria Javelinas. C.J. Edwards is scheduled to make his second AFL start for Mesa.
