Keegan tips Owen to stay
13 Apr 2008 - 13:32:41
Kevin Keegan remains confident Michael Owen will sign a new contract with Newcastle United at the end of the season.
The 28-year-old failed to extend his scoring run to five consecutive matches as the Magpies drew 0-0 at Portsmouth, but Keegan remains content with the England international's recent fine form.
"People query whether he's committed to Newcastle but I think I'm close enough to judge that and he's told me he's really happy," Keegan said of Owen after the stalemate.
"He enjoys being at Newcastle. Does he want to stay? I would say yes with a capital Y.
"No matter who we sign this summer, no matter how big a name comes in and how much they cost, tying down Michael will be the biggest signing.
"I think he can mature into a different kind of player now, a bit like I did."
Owen has scored 15 goals in 39 Premier League appearances during an injury-ravaged three seasons at St James' Park.

text: 6-Car Compact Sedan Showdown In 2011, more than one in four new-car sales was a compact. That's because the segment is overflowing with stylish performers from the U.S. and abroad. For this test on the Rust Belt's highways and byways, we pitted Detroit's bestChevy Cruze, Ford Focus, and Dodge Dartagainst the world: Subaru Impreza, Mazda3, and Honda Civic. By Ben Stewart Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery 7 of 7 2013 Ford Focus "A Showstopper" The edgy Focus with its elegant lines and sporty proportions, looks like it just rolled off the streets of Milan. It was one of our favorite designs. But beneath the skin, the Focus was equally appealing. This was very much the all-star of our group, finishing at or near the top of every performance test and subjective rating we could throw at it. It was the quickest compact to 60 mph, and yet it nearly matched the Honda's fuel economy. And that's not easy to accomplish, especially since the Focus gets a five- rather than six-speed transmission. But the car's well-spaced gears and strong 2.0-liter four never felt overmatched on rolling hills or over-revved on interstate hauls. Grab the Focus's thick-rimmed steering wheel and you'll expect this to be a fun ride. Good thing the Focus doesn't disappoint. Ours came with a $1130 Sport Package, which helped make the Ford a frisky partner on twistier roads. The Focus's reflexes might be slightly duller than those of the Mazda, but the incredibly competent Ford delivers excellent grip and can be pushed very hard without overmatching its 17-inch rubber. Inside, the Ford's interior looks fresh and more cockpit-like than any other car here. Downside? Sporty cabins feel less airy. The upside includes front seats that were easily the most comfortable, offering deep bolsters and soft, supportive cushions. We could drive across the country in these seats and never have a backache. And the rear seat is roomy enough for three. Unlike with some of the equally talented performers here, handling poise does not translate into a rougher ride. Though the Ford's dash was a tad buzzy over the worst roads, the ride was firm. The Focus excelled by nearly every measure, and, as an added bonus, that goodness comes at a nice price: The Focus has the lowest MSRP here. VERDICT: The happiest mediumthe Focus gets a sporty ride but not at the cost of comfort, room, or style.

Titled 'Baby it's Cold Outside,' the Chanel Iman Evening Standard photoshoot for the magazine's November 2012 edition is wrapped up in fur.
Photographer David Roemer shoots the beautiful Iman outdoors in a park-like setting, where she casually drapes luxurious furs over her body. While looking cozy and warm in her sumptuously shaggy coats, the model also shows off her figure in elegantly strappy lingerie pieces. The pieces range from a long lacy slip dress with a thigh-high slit that exposes her garter straps, to a body-con corset that is cut up into strips all down the side.
Apart from the furs and the lingerie, the Chanel Iman Evening Standard photoshoot finishes off the looks with glamorous jewels.

Class 3A/A Tennis: Seymour's Morris, Vernon doubles team advance to finals
LAKEWAY — Macie Morris found herself down on Monday. But she certainly wasn't out as the Seymour junior rallied to win her Class A girls singles semifinal at the UIL State Tennis Tournament.
Morris rallied past Ashley Salazar of Knippa 2-6, 6-0, 6-4 by going against her norm and laying off the pace.
"She did a great job," Seymour coach Ricky Ramos said. "She made adjustments. She likes to play an aggressive style of tennis and she had to slow the tempo of the game down a little bit. I think she made some real good adjustments on her own.
"I'm so proud of her. She focused and stayed working through the whole match."
Morris didn't have to worry about a rally in the quarterfinal as she whipped Desiree Velez of Van Horn 6-2, 6-1. Morris will face defending champion Makenzie Mitchell of Mason in today's final at the Lakeway World of Tennis.
Vernon's Emily Draughon also is in the state finals for the second straight year, this time in girls doubles as she and Kamia Robinson dominated their half of the Class 3A girls bracket.
Draughon and Robinson beat Boerne 6-0, 6-2 and then reversed that with a 6-2, 6-0 rout of Lucas Lovejoy's Anisha Srivastava and Samantha Wendt in the semifinals.
The Lions will get a rematch from Region I-3A with Abilene Wylie's Delaney Schroeder and Kelsey Wolfe at 10 a.m. today at Lakeway.
Chillicothe's Roberto Granados lost to Knippa's Kennan Dishman in the Class A quarterfinals, 6-1, 6-1.
The Eagles' girls double teams of Eloro Granados and Kelly Correa also lost in that round against a Mason duo, 6-1, 6-2.

Half-sisters bond after a lifetime apart
By Alexis Willey/For The Sunday Gazette
Schenectady, Scotia residents share their stories in a memoir
Patricia Walsh's journey of adoption and reconciliation that spanned nearly 70 years had a "wonder-full" ending, in its most basic definition, according to the Scotia resident. "It added a whole new dimension to my life, and she feels the same way," said Walsh. The "she" is Walsh's half-sister, Schenectady resident Arlene Loucks. The two spent their entire lives apart, never knowing the other existed until recently....

Robert Pattinson Has Pregnancy Scare?
Everyone wants to get a scoop on Twilight's Robert Pattinson but this is ridiculous. The popular rumor is that he's really dating costar Kristen Stewart, but Pattinson found another outrageous claim about his personal life.
"Recently, some magazine had on the cover that I was pregnant," Pattinson said this weekend at a press conference for The Twilight Saga: New Moon. "I was just like, 'Wow!' And, without a hint of irony or anything."
The obvious question then is: when are you due? "I know," he laughed. "I just love it. I saw a couple comments under the article saying, 'That's why he always wears jackets. He always wears layers to hide it.'"

Red Wings Win 7th Straight
The Rochester Red Wings won their seventh straight game and extended their season-long home streak to 10 games with a 4-0 victory over the Toledo Mud Hens Monday night. The Wings have now won seven straight for the first time since last July (7/24-30) and have won 10 in a row at home for the first since 2008. The seven-game skid is the longest active streak in the IL. Monday's win gives Rochester their second series win in a row and their sixth of the season.
Trevor May was fantastic in eight scoreless innings as he allowed just four hits and four walks while striking out six. May has now thrown 14 consecutive scoreless innings in back-to-back wins for the Red Wings. Over this stretch, the right-hander has allowed just seven hits and six walks while striking out 12. May tied a career-high with his eight innings pitched. Prior to Monday, his last eight-inning outing came Aug. 27, 2012 with Reading (AA). While picking up his third win of the season, May lowered his ERA to 3.35 and his batting average against to .196.
THE Red Wings turned in their sixth shutout of the season on Monday night – the second-most in the IL (SYR, 7). The Wings had 10 shutouts all of last season. Trevor May has started the last two shutouts for the Wings (5/13 vs. COL). May tossed a complete-game in a rain-shortened affair throwing six innings allowing three hits and two walks while striking out six in his last start.
Oswaldo Arcia blasted a three-run home run in the fourth inning to give the Wings a 3-0 lead. The home run was his fourth of the season and fourth of the homestand (7 games) as he becomes the first Wings player to homer in back-to-back games this season. Over the homestand, Arcia is now 8-for-25 with 2 doubles, 4 home runs, 10 runs and 9 RBI.

As I've mentioned, we've got a bit of a staffing problem at the station. To recap:
1. Gary, Assignment Editor was fired.
2. Brad, co-producer of the 5:00 show (my show) was moved into Gary's spot on a temporary basis.
3. I was promoted to Special Projects Producer.
4. I am currently doing my new job and my old job until we find a permanent Assignment Editor, after which Brad will take Ashley's 11:00 show, Ashley will take my 5:00 show, and I will get to concentrate on my new position.
5. My work life sucks.
Naturally, I've been eager to get that new hire in here. Today, Robert cornered me to discuss the situation.
"K., Brad tells me your roommate used to work here at the station."
"He's not exactly my roommate. He's just a friend who --"
"Did he work here or not?"
"Well, he was an intern here, but now he's in film."
"And he's looking for a job?"
Oh, crap. I knew where this was headed. "Yes, but --"
"Have him come in and meet with me."
With that, he turned his toned, muscular butt away from me. (Hmm, I wonder how often he goes to the gym?) I wasn't sure how I felt about Derrick sharing the newsroom and my living room with me. If we're together 24/7, how long will it be before we're sharing the bedroom, too?
Still, there's no arguing with Robert, so I brought it up while Derrick and I polished off our wings and beer that night at my (and now his) favorite pub. One of the things I've always found so hilarious about Derrick is the monologues he performs while he's trying to work something out. Here's how it went:
"Thanks K, but I never really liked working in TV much. I mean, I liked working with you and Brad, and the job itself was fun, but really I'm a film guy. It's who I am. The thing is, though, I'm not really finding anything out here. And I was having a hard time finding stuff in LA. This might be good to pad my resume with. Yeah, so in between film stuff I'll be able to get work. Actually, it's a great idea. Yeah, I'll totally do it. And we'll get to work together again! That will be fun!"
I shook my head at him and he threw his dirty wing-sauce covered napkin at my face. Then I stuck my finger in my beer and flicked it at him. Before I knew it, we were having a full-fledged food fight. That is, until Victor the old Scottish bartender came over and eyed us sternly.
"Sorry Victor," Shady said. "We'll try to behave."
"See that you do," Victor said, but when he walked away, I could see him smiling.
God, could we act anymore like fourth graders who like each other? What's next? Him pulling my hair?
Actually, that might be kinda hot.

This hands-on workshop will bring the World Wide Web into focus as a powerful tool to support a wide variety of information needs. After examining the organization and structure of the internet and the web, we'll learn the basic elements of HTML coding, creating and modifying a series of web pages as we learn. The workshop starts with web fundamentals, beginning with the basics of web and internet structure and organization, and how web browsers and web servers interact. We'll spend some time creating and modifying web pages with the HTML you'll learn, including formatting text, and creating links of several types (including internal, external, and even bookmark links). You'll add images to your web page, wrap text around those images, and make images into links, linking to other pages, or to larger versions of the same image. Finally, we'll introduce the concept of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), and see why it's the preferred technique for giving web pages a standard appearance, as well as helping address accessibility issues. You'll use CSS rules to control the format and appearance of your web pages, including text, page, and link colors; fonts; page backgrounds; and even links that change appearance when the mouse moves over them.

British haute couture designer Alexander McQueen has revealed his Fall 2008 ad campaign. Shot by Craig McDean and styled by Tabitha Simmons, the ads feature red-haired 17-year-old model Alice Gibb as a sort of Gothic bird caught among the twigs and sticks of a gigantic dark nest.
Alice's flaming red hair is in deep contrast with the dark and ominous-looking nest. But I think it is that contrast—and the beautiful dresses—that gives this print campaign its edge and beauty.

All molecules possess a certain minimum amount of energy. The energy can be in the form of kinetic energy or potential energy. When molecules collide, the kinetic energy of the molecules can be used to stretch, bend, and ultimately break bonds, leading to chemical reactions. If molecules move too slowly with little kinetic energy, or collide with improper orientation, they do not react and simply bounce off each other. However, if the molecules are moving fast enough with a proper collision orientation, such that the kinetic energy upon collision is greater than the minimum energy barrier, then a reaction occurs. The minimum energy requirement that must be met for a chemical reaction to occur is called the activation energy, Ea.
Figure 1
The reaction pathway is similar to what happens in Figure 1. In order to get to the other end of the road, object A must roll with enough speed to completely roll over the hill of a certain height, h. In other words, the faster the object moves, the more kinetic energy it has. If the object moves too slowly, it does not have enough kinetic energy necessary to overcome the barrier; as a result, it eventually rolls back down. In the same way, there is a minimum amount of energy needed in order for molecules to break existing bonds during a chemical reaction. If the kinetic energy of the molecules upon collision is greater than this minimum energy, then bond breaking and forming occur, forming a new product (provided that the molecules collide with the proper orientation).
Figure 2
The activation energy, labeled "Ea" in Figure 2, is the energy difference between the reactants and the activated complex, also known as transition state. In a chemical reaction, the transition state is defined as the highest-energy state of the system. If the molecules in the reactants collide with enough kinetic energy and this energy is higher than the transition state energy, then the reaction occurs and products form. In other words, the higher the activation energy, the harder it is for a reaction to occur and vice versa. However, if a catalyst is added to the reaction, the activation energy is lowered because a lower-energy transition state is formed, as shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3
As indicated by Figure 3 above, a catalyst helps lower the activation energy barrier, increasing the reaction rate. In the case of a biological reaction, when an enzyme (a form of catalyst) binds to a substrate, the activation energy necessary to overcome the barrier is lowered, increasing the rate of the reaction for both the forward and reverse reaction. See below for the effects of an enzyme on activation energy.
In thermodynamics, the change in Gibbs free energy, ΔG, is defined as:
\( \Delta G^o \) is the change in Gibbs energy when the reaction happens at Standard State (1 atm, 298 K, pH 7). To calculate a reaction's change in Gibbs free energy that did not happen in standard state, the Gibbs free energy equation can be written as:
When the reaction is at equilibrium, \( \Delta G = 0\). The equation above becomes:
Solve for ΔGo:
\[ \Delta G^o = -RT lnk \]
Similarly, in transition state theory, the Gibbs energy of activation, \( \Delta G ^{\ddagger} \), is defined by:
As shown in the figure above, activation enthalpy, \(\Delta{H}^{\ddagger} \), represents the difference in energy between the ground state and the transition state in a chemical reaction. The higher the activation enthalpy, the more energy is required for the products to form. Note that this activation enthalpy quantity, \( \Delta{H}^{\ddagger} \), is analogous to the activation energy quantity, Ea, when comparing the Arrhenius equation (described below) with the Eyring equation. Specifically,
\(E_a = \Delta{H}^{\ddagger} + RT\)
In general, a reaction proceeds faster if Ea and \(\Delta{H}^{\ddagger} \) are small. Conversely, if Ea and \( \Delta{H}^{\ddagger} \) are large, the reaction rate is slower.
As temperature increases, gas molecule velocity also increases (according to the kinetic theory of gas). This is also true for liquid and solid substances. The kinetic energy of a molecule is directly proportional to the velocity of the molecules (KE = 1/2 mv2) . Therefore, when temperature increases, KE also increases; as temperature increases, more molecules have higher KE, and thus the fraction of molecules that have high enough KE to overcome the energy barrier also increases.
The fraction of molecules with energy equal to or greater than Ea is given by the exponential term \(e^{\frac{-E_a}{RT}}\) in the Arrhenius equation:
\(k = Ae^{\frac{-E_a}{RT}}\) (3)
Taking the natural log of both sides of equation (3) yields the following:
\(\ln k = \ln A - \frac{E_a}{RT}\) (4)
Equation (4) has the linear form y = mx + b. Graphing lnk vs 1/T yields a straight line with a slope of -Ea/R and a y-intercept of lnA., as shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4
Figure 5
As indicated in Figure 5, the reaction with a higher Ea has a steeper slope; the reaction rate is thus very sensitive to temperature change. In contrast, the reaction with a lower Ea is less sensitive to a temperature change. Because radicals are extremely reactive, Ea for a radical reaction is 0; an arrhenius plot of a radical reaction has no slope and is independent of temperature.
The activation energy can also be calculated directly given two known temperatures and a rate constant at each temperature. Using Equation (2), suppose that at two different temperatures T1 and T2, reaction rate constants k1 and k2:
\[\ln\; k_1 = - \frac{E_a}{RT_1} + \ln A \]
\[\ln\; k_2 = - \frac{E_a}{RT_2} + \ln A \]
Subtract \(ln\; k_2\) from \(ln\; k_1\):
\[ \ln\; k_1 - \ln\; k_2 = \left (- \dfrac{E_a}{RT_1} + \ln A \right ) - \left(- \dfrac{E_a}{RT_2} + \ln A \right)\]
After rearrangement:
\[ \ln \left (\dfrac{k_1}{k_2} \right ) = \left(\dfrac{1}{T_2} - \dfrac{1}{T_1}\right)\dfrac{E_a}{R} \]
Enzymes can be thought of as biological catalysts that lower activation energy. Enzymes are proteins or RNA molecules that provide alternate reaction pathways with lower activation energies than the original pathways. Enzymes affect the rate of the reaction in both the forward and reverse directions; the reaction proceeds faster because less energy is required for molecules to react when they collide. Thus, the rate constant (k) increases. Notice that ΔG and ΔH of the transition state also decrease. However, ΔG and ΔH of the overall reaction do not change. As shown in the diagram below, the activation energy barrier, ΔG and ΔH of the transition state,are decreased.
Additional information on enzymes: General principles and introduction to enzymes.
1. Use the Arrhenius Equation: lnk = Ae-Ea/RT
2. Use the equation ln(k1/k2)=-Ea/R(1/T1-1/T2)
3. Use the equation \(\Delta{G} = \Delta{H} - T \Delta{S}\)
4. Use the equation lnk = Ae-Ea/RT to calculate the activation energy of the forward reaction
5. No. Most enzymes denature at high temperatures. At some point, the rate of the reaction and rate constant will decrease significantly and eventually drop to zero. Once the enzyme is denatured, the alternate pathway is lost, and the original pathway will take more time to complete.

Although it is ultimately personal choice and preference, there is absolutely no debating the fact that the handling of the M5 is crippled by the thin front wheels in its OEM configurations.
I currently can compare back to back whenever I want, as my M5 has the 275/35/18 with OEM 9.5" wheel on all four corners where as my wife's M5 is on the stock staggered M5 set up (for now). The difference is night and day in anything more than putting along in town traffic.
Being on the track, carving the tail of the dragon or some country road, there is simply no comparison.
If the performance is not something that will make you switch, the wider rubber and the bigger lip on the 9.5" wheel should be the sole reason to make you switch.

If I dress up as a border collie do you think I could live in the back bedroom? I will even help clean up. I have skills.
Me wanna piiiiiie.
1. I'm quite sure Heatherjay and Rupert would let you move in with them. There is a nice guest bedroom on the upper level, and I bet you could do dishwashing/spider killing/sheep feeding in exchange for board. I will negotiate on your behalf.
2. When I got home from a 12 hour work/course day last night there was a PIE dropped off by Heatherjay waiting for me on the counter. No lie.

BHANDARA: The dream of gorge filling work on Bawanthadi inter-state irrigation project dam finally got off on schedule on Friday even as the project-affected people (PAPs) tried to oppose the move but the police foiled their attempts. 59 PAPs were arrested as a preventive measure and sent to jail.
Police forces from Nagpur, Bhandara and Wardha districts jointly provided security cover to the district administration and irrigation department of Madhya Pradesh which is the implementing agency of gorge filling work. Nearly 300 PAPs consisting of men, women and children assembled at the site and started opposing the government move. Following this, district rehabilitation officer Jitendra Patil, sub-divisional officer Vinod Harkande, tehsildar Chandrabhan Khandait, additional SP Vasant Jadhao and deputy SP Prashant Khaire met the agitating PAPs and tried to convince them. But as they did not relent, the police officers asked them to leave the site as section 144 of criminal procedure was promulgated. When the cops warned that those violating law will be taken into custody, most of the PAPs fled. Those who remained at the site were taken into custody.
Offences were registered against 47 men and 12 women from village Pusada in Nagpur district and 27 men from Kamkasur and Susurdoha in Bhandara district and were arrested. They were sent to Bhandara Jail. The arrested PAPs refused to take bail so they were sent to Bhandara district jail. As per provisions of law, detainees will have to give a personal bond of Rs 1500, a guarantor and written assurance from member of panchayat samiti and zilla parishad. A majority of the agitating PAPs were from Nagpur district.
Now the gorge filling work has begun round-the-clock. District administration and police force are aware of the woes of PAPs, but completion of gorge filling is urgent for the economic development of the command area of the district. As per revenue authorities, the dam is 70% filled with water and the affected villages in submergence area will face hard days. But that will take more than year. Till then, the rehabilitation work will be completed.
The 35 years old dream could come true mainly due to bold steps taken by district collector Pradeep Kalbhor and superintendent of police Arati Singh.

ERIE — Coach Mike Bolster rolled the dice with his Ida track and field team Friday.
He took Bryce Woelmer out of the long jump and inserted him in the 1,600-meter relay in a gamble to help the Blue Streaks pick up more points in the Division 3 Regional at Erie Mason.
Kyle Russell, Cody Suzor, Shane Sampson and Woelmer ran together for the first time in the final event of the meet. They not only won the event but broke the school record in 3:29.95 and gave Ida its first Regional boys title in school history.
Mason had 91 1/2 points, Ida 91 and St. Mary Catholic Central 87 before the 1,600 relay, but the points still had not been awarded from the 800 run which was in dispute.
The Blue Streaks needed every point they could get as SMCC finished third in the final event and lost out on the championship by two points. Ida had 105 points, SMCC 103 and Mason 96.
"I scored it last night and knew we had the chance to do it," said Bolster who took over as head coach this season after Chad Clevenger moved to Kansas. "CC always seems to be near the top and Erie Mason had beaten us every meet this year. We finally got some sweet revenge. The thing is, we're doing all this without a track."
Woelmer and Brendan Banker also were individual champions for the Blue Streaks. Woelmer won the 400 in :51.24. Banker took the high jump in 6-5.
"I was going for 6-7 1/2 to break Joe Baldwin's school record (6-7 1/4) in the high jump and I almost got it," said Banker who also had a career best by four seconds in the high hurdles and took second. "My best has been 6-6 and I've gotten it twice. I've got three more meets to break the record. I'm going to run at Michigan Tech next year."
Woelmer qualified for state in three events. The 3,200 relay of Woelmer, Sampson, Doug Hulbert and Russell was third in an additional qualifying time of 8:17.38.
"I was the new guy on the mile relay," Woelmer said. "Coach was going to put me in the long jump but decided this might help us more. We broke the (1981) school record by four seconds."
Woelmer is a junior who now is targeting his uncle Brian Woelmer's Ida football record of 1,311 rushing yards in a season.
"The boys have worked their butts off," Bolster said. "Doug Hulbert did unbelievable in the mile and 800. Tyler Hulbert picked up big points for us in the two-mile. We took second (Patrick Taylor) and fourth (Henry Hulbert) in the pole vault and that was huge."
Adrian Madison was fourth with 77 points, Ann Arbor Gabriel Richard had 62, Willow Run 44, Whitmore Lake 41, Ecorse 30 1/2, Clinton 24, Dundee 23, River Rouge 15, Riverview Gabriel Richard and Flat Rock 13, Blissfield 10 and Allen Park Cabrini 3.
SMCC's Daniel Couturier won the high (:14.90) and intermediate hurdles (:40.91), and teammate Bryan Applin was first in the 1,600 (4:33). Mason's Corey Lay went 14-0 to win the pole vault, teammate Nick Raymond was first in the 3,200 (10:02.47) and second in the 1,600, and the Eagles' Jeff Pauwels won the 200 (:23.42).
Other state qualifiers in field events were Mason's Tim Johnson who was second in the shot-put and third in the discus, Dundee's Deonte Patterson who was runner-up in the long jump, SMCC's Tyler Splan and Dundee's Kevin Karner in the high jump. Lay, Taylor, Mason's Luke Deal and Ida's Henry Hulbert finished 1-2-3-4 in the pole vault and all qualified for state.
SMCMC's Jack Cusumano qualified by taking second in the 100 and 200, the Falcons' Evan Pietraniec was runner-up in the 800 and Ida's Craig Metty and Mason's Dylan Fichter finished 2-3 in the high hurdles and qualified.
Other qualifiers were Ida's Metty (second) and Mason's Dylan Fichtner (third) in the high hurdles, SMCC Jack Cusumano (second) in the 100 and Evan Pietraniec (second) in the 800. The Falcons' 3,200 relay of Applin, Dan Harras, Nathaniel Theobald and Pietraniec qualified by finishing second.
Dundee's girls had a great meet and finished second to champion Madison. The Trojans had 130 points, Dundee 105 1/2, Ann Arbor Richard 101 1/2, Mason 73, Clinton 42, SMCC 38, Ida and Blissfield 35, Whitmore Lake 24, Willow Run 21, Flat Rock 19, Ecorse 15, Cabrini 14, River Rouge 9 and Riverview Richard 1.
The Vikings had six girls qualify for state in eight events. "That's the most in school history," said coach Ken Jabe.
Junior Brittany Slinker broke her own school record in the 3,200, finishing third and qualifying for state. She also teamed with Tia Billau, Abby Scharboneau and Amy Littlefield on a 3,200 relay team that broke its school record and took first. Slinker also qualified in the pole vault by taking second.
"I felt like I was going to puke during the two-mile," said Slinker while snacking on Doritos and cheese dip afterwards. She plans to attend Michigan State University and become a veterinarian.
Dundee's other qualifiers were Grace Gimesky who repeated as champion of the high (:15.78) and low hurdles (:47.87) and qualified with a 9-4 in the pole vault, Littlefield who won the 800 (2:27.91) and Lindsay Briggs took second in the high jump.
SMCC senior Colleen Grassley repeated as Regional champion in the 1,600 (5:23.49) and 3,200 (11:32.93). Her 3,200 time was a lifetime-best. She will run next year at the University of Dayton.
Grassley also qualified along with the second-place 3,200 relay team of Julia Shah, Abby Wickenheiser and Paula Burkardt.
"I'm excited because I get to go to state with our relay," Grassley said. "I feel good and I'm ready for states and leagues."
Flat Rock's Joscilyn Crain won the discus (115-1) and Mason's Hannah Saul was champion of the pole vault (10-4).
Other second-place qualifiers were Mason's Sarah Markus (long jump), Nicole Poca (800) and Mariah Whipple (400), and Ida's Jaclyn Sawasky (1,600).
Also qualifying were Ida's Mycala Cherry and Alexa Brososky who were third and fifth, respectively, in the high jump and Mason's third-place 3,200 relay of Meagan Sawasky, Natalie Hempel, Moriah Foley and Nicole Poca.

The comic will be updating irregularly on Tuesdays. (For now, "irregularly" means rarely.)
It's November 25 again ... this webcomic is now 11 years old. Where did the time go? I really, really hope I'll manage to finish the story before it's old enough to drink!
(I'm working on it, but it will probably be a bit longer again until the next update.)
(Note: The provider that hosted the forum has disappeared without a trace. While I have backups of the forum, I don't currently have the resources to set it up again somewhere else. The RSS feed also is currently broken, and I don't know when I'll get around to fixing it. In the meantime, by far the best way that I know of to keep track of updates is Piperka, check it out!)

Rev. Samuel RodriguezThousands of Christians will gather in Houston's Reliant Stadium tomorrow for Texas Gov. Rick Perry's "The Response," a seven-hour prayer rally that will call on God to save America from the "sea of moral relativism."
As we have previously written, Perry is betting that The Response will cement his support among evangelical primary voters, thereby positioning him as a frontrunner for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination.
Opponents of The Response have lambasted Perry for throwing in with a far-right fringe of evangelicals, noting the extreme views of some of the event's organizers and endorsers. But this criticism overlooks the fact that The Response actually represents a relatively diverse cross-section of Fundamentalist Evangelicals and so-called "charismatic Christians" who make up the new face of the Christian Right.
The leadership of The Response is a who's who of the key players in this new evangelical movement. The new alliance breaks down traditional racial and denominational divides in American Evangelicalism, unifying over shared support of social conservative positions, including opposition to abortion and same-sex marriage, and their belief that the country is in a "state of crisis" that is a harbinger of End Times.
These conservative kingmakers are clearly not averse to politics — they exercised their campaign muscles in 2008 and 2010 to great success. Their involvement in the prayer rally is a tacit signal that, should Perry decide to run, this powerful coalition will be in his corner in 2012.
The new face of the Christian Right.

POSTED: Thursday, August 30, 2012 - 6:33pm
UPDATED: Thursday, August 30, 2012 - 6:44pm
Longview, TX — The City of Longview Partners in Prevention's Mentoring Advisory Council and Friends of Partners in Prevention are sponsoring the Second Annual Drive to Inspire! Golf Challenge benefitting the Partners in Prevention Mentoring Program. Shotgun start will be on September 15 at 1:30 p.m. at Wood Hollow Golf Course, 5121 McCann Road in Longview. Registration deadline for the four-person scramble is September 7. The cost is $75 per player or $300 per team. Sponsorship opportunities are available at $100, $350, and $500 levels.
Partners in Prevention Manager, Holly Fuller states, "The second annual Drive to Inspire Golf Challenge is coming to fruition thanks to of the hard work of the Mentoring Advisory Council. All proceeds from the golf challenge will benefit the Partners in Prevention Mentoring Program, which has mentors placed in six school districts. Last year we had a lot of fun and helped provide more than 150 mentors to children in need of a caring, adult role model. We anticipate doing the same this year. It is a wonderful sight to see the smile on a child's face when they find out they are getting a mentor."
The Partners in Prevention Mentoring Program provides students in Kindergarten – 12th grade with an adult mentor. Mentors meet with their mentees on a weekly basis to provide support and encouragement through fun and structured activities. Mentors attend at two and half hour training, a criminal history background check, and personal reference checks before being matched with their mentee. The next Mentoring Training is scheduled for September 6 from 5:30 – 8:00 p.m. A light meal is provided.
To register for the Drive to Inspire! Golf Challenge or the Mentor Training, please call Partners in Prevention at 903-237-1019, or visit PIP.LongviewTexas.gov/Mentoring.

With Alexander Ovechkin loafing, Tomas Plekanec wins the game.
How's José Theodore feeling about that?
He doesn't even really coach. his only responsibility is to make sure they don't get penalized for too many men. If the habs come out gunning to start, he might have to take his mind off the post-game meal and try to respond, which I am not sure he is that good at.
I also hated when he defended Ovies dirty plays, acting like a spoiled little child. It wasn't that bad, it should be no suspension wha wha wha!!
We have Grimace from the old McDonald's commercials as a coach (did you notice how much JM wears purple?) He'll earn his stripes!!!

Leiurus is a genus of scorpion belonging to the family Buthidae. The most common species, L. quinquestriatus, is also known under the vernacular name Deathstalker. It is distributed widely across North Africa and the Middle East, including the western and southern Arabian Peninsula and southeastern Turkey. At least one species occurs in West Africa (northern Cameroon).
The genus was introduced in 1828 by C.G. Ehrenberg (in Hemprich & Ehrenberg 1828),[1] originally as a subgenus of the genus Androctonus. It was finally elevated to genus rank by M. Vachon in 1949.[2] The genus was long considered to be monotypic, containing a single species, L. quinquestriatus, but research since 2002 has shown that there are indeed several species.[3]
Currently five species are recognized within this genus,[4] but their validity is under discussion. F. Kovařík (2007) suspected that L. jordanensis and L. savanicola are possible synonyms of L. quinquestriatus.[5]
- Leiurus abdullahbayrami Yagmur, Koc & Kunt, 2009
- Leiurus jordanensis Lourenço, Modry & Amr, 2002
- Leiurus nasheri Kovařík, 2007
- Leiurus quinquestriatus (Ehrenberg, 1828) (type species)
- Leiurus savanicola Lourenço, Qi & Cloudsley-Thompson, 2006
General characteristics[edit]
Members of Leiurus are generally moderately sized scorpions that show a typical buthid habitus with gracile pedipalp chelae and a slender metasoma. The vesicle is bulbous and proportionally large in some species. The cephalothorax and mesosoma shows distinct granulation. Characteristically the tergites of the mesosoma bear five distinct, longitudinal carinae (ridges). The base color is generally yellow with brown to blackish areas extending over various parts of the animal, depending on species.[6]
The venom of L. quinquestriatus is among the most potent scorpion toxins. It severely affects the cardiac and pulmonary systems. Human fatalities, often children, have been confirmed by clinical reports.[7] The median lethal dose of venom (LD50) for this species was measured at 0.16 - 0.50 mg/kgmice.[8]
The toxicity of the other species is also potentially high to life-threatening, but reliable data are currently not available.
Most species live in semi-arid to arid regions, including the Sahara and Arabian deserts. At least one species occurs in savannah environment. Sparsely vegetated and sandy or rocky substrates are preferred. The scorpions live in shallow burrows in sand or beneath rocks.
In captivity[edit]
Members of the genus Leiurus are often bred in captivity and traded. Due to their extreme toxicity, keeping these species is strictly recommendable to very experienced and/or professionally trained people.

Philadelphia Student Union
This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. (December 2007) |
The Philadelphia Student Union (PSU) is a non-profit organization led by youth that builds power among Philadelphia high school students to demand a high quality education. The organization has existed since 1996 and aims to address problems of school funding, teacher quality, school climate, and other barriers to education that are experienced by Philadelphia students, taking the position that if the public schools are going to move forward, young people have to be active leaders in the process.
According to the organization's website, their official mission statement is: "The Philadelphia Student Union exists to build the power of young people to demand a high quality education in the Philadelphia public school system. We are a youth led organization and we make positive changes in the short term by learning how to organize to build power. We also work toward becoming life-long learners and leaders who can bring diverse groups of people together to address the problems that our communities face.[1]"
The Philadelphia Student Union was a leading force in the fight to prevent large scale privatization of schools in the district following the state takeover in 2001. Youth organizers staged protests, and engaged in civil disobedience to prevent the School District from handing over control of the central administration to Edison Corporation, a for-profit educational management organization. Youth leaders were ultimately successful in preventing a takeover of the central office, and also prevented the take-over of any high schools by for-profit companies. Some elementary and middle schools were privatized, however.
Among other organizing successes include designing and implementing Student Success Centers in 10 public high schools, which combine enhanced academic resources such as access to computers with social workers and other supports for students. There is a current campaign at West Philadelphia High School to secure a new building for the creation of a community-centered school. Other school-based chapters are located at Overbrook High School, Philadelphia High School for Creative and Performing Arts(CAPA), Bodine High School for International Affairs, William L. Sayre High School and Julia R. Masterman High School

Istanbul is a shopper's paradise, offering handcrafted items to designer labels. To get an idea of the wide range of local goods offered, a trip to the Grand Bazaar is a good starting point. It's one of the world's oldest and largest shopping malls, with over 4,000 shops, attracting both tourists and locals. This labyrinth of shops has an array of Turkish mementos, from hand-woven organic cotton to fragrant olive oil soaps. It is here where you'll find rugs, gold and silver jewelry, Pashmina shawls, leather goods, antiques, souvenirs and just about anything else.
Another large bazaar is the Spice Market, not only known for its spices but medicinal herbs, fragrant essential oils, seasonal fruits like pomegranates, honey, dried fruits and nuts. There are also a variety of confections, olives, grape leaves and every imaginable cooking utensil.
The Nişantaşi shopping area is luxurious with upscale boutiques such as Chanel, Alexander McQueen, Gucci and Prada. Mixed into these recognized brands are contemporary Turkish designers and dozens of restaurants and cafes.
Known worldwide for its fine cuisine, Istanbul offers a cornucopia of choices, from street food to chic restaurants. Its healthy Mediterranean and Ottoman dishes feature fish, kebabs, endless grills, stuffed dumplings, legumes, fresh vegetables, yogurt and subtle spices to further enhance flavor.
Not to be missed is Shang Palace, the signature restaurant at the Shangri-La Bosphorus, which serves superb Cantonese cuisine in a sleek contemporary interior. Menu items include wok-seared duck wrapped in lettuce leaf, oven roasted chicken encased in hardened rock salt and other outstanding selections that include seafood, vegetables and barbecue. Tea is served by a Chinese tea master who performs a dance-like ritual twirling a bronze kettle with an elongated spout prior to serving the tea, resulting in tea poured as an art form.
The hotel's IST TOO restaurant, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner with views of the Bosphorus, serves a multi-stationed breakfast buffet showcasing delectable selections hard to resist. The restaurant also features a Japanese sushi bar and grill station. Service here and at Shang Palace was unparalleled, adding the perfect touch to fine dining.
Topaz is another fine dining restaurant with a panoramic view of the city and Bosphorus that's also highly recommended for its exquisite gourmet menu. With its floor-to-ceiling windows, it's absolutely stunning in the evening when the Bosphorus Bridge is lit up, putting on its own light show throughout the night.
A popular lunch spot is NAR Restaurant, located on the second level of luxury goods retailer Armaggan, which serves all natural regional specialties in an airy space with protected terrace seating. The most dramatic aspect of the décor is the vertical garden cascading down two stories to the floor below. This dining spot is the first restaurant venture by NAR Gourmet, a product line that specializes in all-natural regional products from the area.
Traditional Turkish coffee is often said to be Black as hell, strong as death and sweet as love by the Turks. Yet, as popular as it is, if there's a national drink in this country it's Turkish tea, served in tulip-shaped glasses and consumed several times a day. In fact, tea consumption is greater than that of Turkish coffee in this country and Turks drink more tea per capita than any other nation in the world.
Olive oil is used extensively throughout the country. With 117 registered olive varieties and almost a 100 million olive trees under cultivation, Turkish olives and olive oil production increases every year and a fair amount is exported to the United States.
The fourth largest carrier in the world by number of destinations, Turkish Airlines has direct flights from Chicago to Istanbul – its hub city. In business class the roomy seats feature eight positions and fully recline to create a 75-inch-long sleeping space. Crabtree & Evelyn toiletries are provided in a sleek, dark blue iPad case. Another nice touch: the battery powered votive candles encased in a four-inch, opaque paper bag that provide a relaxing ambiance. Service surpasses expectations and the gourmet food proves that airlines can serve top quality meals when they make a sincere effort to do so.
The airline's modern departure lounge at the Istanbul Ataturk Airport is a two-storied venue with a capacity to hold over 1,000 guests at a time. Guests can select from a wide range of food and beverages, get a massage, take a shower, play a game of billiards, use a meeting room and take advantage of the free Wi-Fi, printers and computers. There's even a children's playroom.
Since Istanbul has a sizeable under 30 population, there's an active nightlife with numerous trendy spots spread throughout the city. The best way to rock the city after dark is to pick up Time Out Istanbul, which will guide you to the places to see and be seen.

Your cart is empty!
I was first introduced to this cream by my mother, who has sensitive skin due to a chronic illness. I tried the cream during the late spring and loved it! The price was great compared to natural and/or organic body creams that I was using at the time. So when I finished my last moisture body balm I ordered Vanicream from myotcstore.com because I had a difficult time finding a retailer nearby that carried the cream. I tend to need more moisture during the fall & winter months, probably because clothing, especially made with synthetic materials like polyester, absorb moisture from your skin. Now that it is fall, I find that I must reapply the cream at least once to restore moisture to my skin, but I will continue to use this product.

text: Designing a Closet That Works for You Whether it's a lack of closet space or how the current closets are used, everyone wants to know how to maximize storage space. Here, ideas on how to configure your closets so they work for, not against, you. By Jenn Andrlik Styled Storage Sweaters folded and stacked as they would be in a retail store, and coordinated by color, work with colored hangers to make this closet a truly attractive composition. A door seems almost unnecessary. Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Hanging Around Busy professionals tend to have a large number of formal or business garments, such as suits or dresses, which can't be folded. If your wardrobe consists of these "unfoldables," make sure you have all the hanging space possible. Giving your fine clothes extra space to hang free will keep them wrinkle-free and in good shape, and keep you looking great. Carol Ruzicka Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Long-Term, Short-Term If your home is short on hideaway storage space, you may need to arrange your bedroom closet to efficiently accommodate both everyday and long-term storage needs. The wisest move is to partition off the closet so that one section has room for hanging clothes, shelves close together for folded clothes, and an area just for shoes. The other part should have shelves spaced far apart to allow for large storage boxes and bins, and a small amount of long-term hanging space for seasonal clothing. Carol Ruzicka Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Shelf-Esteem Sometimes an informal wardrobe calls for an entirely different approach to closet organization. If all your clothes can easily be folded, it may make sense to eliminate hanging storage entirely, or at least limit it. Instead, use a mix of cubby and open shelving, drawers, and storage accessories such as hooks that better suit the simple nature of the clothes. The additional shelving gives you the flexibility to use other containers such as boxes, bins, and slide-out trays. Carol Ruzicka Return to Gallery Return to Gallery The Great Divide Sharing closet space can be a true test of a couple's relationship. The secret to keeping the peace is to divide the space in a way that accommodates the amount and type of clothing each person has. Women generally have a greater selection of hanging clothes and shoes. Men usually need more space for folded items such as short-sleeved shirts. Create a barrier between the two sections with a column of shelving and drawers or bins.

A regular yellow light bulb is also known as the incandescent light bulb. These light bulbs utilize a thin layer that is made of tungsten. When the electricity passes through this layer, it heats up until it becomes fully hot. This heat produces the light coming from the bulb. Aside from the light, the bulb also produces plenty of heat. Technically, this is a waste of energy. The attempt to reduce this waste of energy resulted to the creation of the fluorescent lamp. These light bulbs are energy efficient. Unlike the regular light bulb, fluorescent lamps do not use tungsten to produce light.
A fluorescent light bulb utilizes a different process to produce light. It uses electrodes on both ends of the tube of a fluorescent bulb. A river of electrons flows in the gas from one electrode to another one. These tiny electrons collapse in the mercury atoms and ignite them. As the mercury atoms alternate from ignition to inactive state, they produce ultraviolet photons. These particles called photons bumps into the phosphor coating of the tube of the fluorescent bulb. This phosphor activity produces the visible light. A fluorescent light bulb can produce the light equivalent of four to six incandescent light bulbs. For example, a 20 watt fluorescent light bulb gives of the same amount of light as an 80 watt incandescent light bulb.
The good thing about fluorescent light bulbs is that they produce a smaller amount of heat. They can give off between 60 and 110 lumens per watt. A lot of homes all over the world have chosen to use fluorescent light bulbs over incandescent bulbs. They produce bright white light and reduce energy consumption. They already available in stores and they usually come with a three month warranty. You can buy them in different lumens. One unique part in fluorescent light bulbs is the starter. A fluorescent light will not work without a good functioning starter to complete the electrical circuit.
