We should have flying cars by the time he signs his next extension.
Sorry, he didn't quite sign it yet. He agreed to the terms.
When he finishes that contract "The Kid" will be older than I am right now (and I have a son in middle school).
The best news is that his cap hit won't change one iota. $8.7 million per year. I sure am glad he didn't choose Gretzky's number. Sid really did take another below market value deal in order to build a quality team around him. Hopefully his good friend Zach Parise (and Parise's good friend Ryan Suter) are willing to accept the money that Crosby left on the bargaining table come Sunday.
Trade #22 (780 points) to JAX for #36 + #67 (795 points)
2.4 TE Maxx Williams, Minnesota 6'4" 250 lbs.
2.24 OLB Nate Orchard, Utah 6'3" 252 lbs.
3.3 OG Laken Tomlinson, Duke 6'4" 323 lbs.
3.23 SS Jaquiski Tartt, Samford 6'1" 220 lbs.
4.22 CB Ronald Darby, Florida State 5'11" 195 lbs.
5.24 FS Kurtis Drummond, Michigan State 6'1" 205 lbs.
6.23 CB Cam Thomas, Western Kentucky 6'0" 195 lbs.
7.22 RB Malcolm Brown, Texas 6'0" 223 lbs.
I can't believe he was willing to take the same average annual salary as his last contract. That's an incredible commitment to team building and speaks a lot to what Crosby values.
I've hesitated in the past to invest in anything memorabilia of Crosby just because everyone else has jerseys and the cost of autographs is so high, but this seals it for me. I need to get something signed by this guy.

Restaurants Are Still Tasty
This article originally appeared Sept. 4, 2013, on Real Money. To read more content like this, + see inside Jim Cramer's multi-million dollar portfolio for FREE Click Here NOW.
It's no secret the restaurant business is an appealing investment. People have to eat, and dining out has become part of the American lifestyle. Thanks to wonderful concepts like Chipotle (CNG), dining out more than occasionally is no longer detrimental to one's health. But from an investing perspective, good restaurants offer a stable, consistent, cash-flow business. The future value of any stock ultimately relies on future cash that can be generated.
We always hear about McDonald's (MCD), Yum! Brands (YUM) and other fast food titans, but some less-visible stocks have appetizing future profit and cash-flow growth. And as the economy continues to improve, business could continue to improve for restaurants. The biggest beneficiaries will be non-fast-food purveyors and fast-food concepts offering anything but mass-produced burgers and fries. One name that I thought little of was Nathan's Famous (NATH - Get Report). Nathan's operates a chain of fast food concepts, including Nathan's iconic flagship location in Coney Island, N.Y. Most know Nathan's by its world-famous hot dogs, also sold in grocery stores.
Since 2005, Nathan's sales have increased every year without interruption. The company has not lost money during that time and only experienced a modest decline in profitability during the worst of the recession. The company currently has a market cap of $232 million, no debt, and $25 million in cash on the balance sheet. Return on equity has increased to more than 20% from 14% in past three years. The market has taken notice as Nathan's currently trades for 26x earnings. Shares were recently trading for $52, down from a 52-week high of $62. Perhaps a bit rich, but still worth watching.
Two other small-cap concepts to consider are Ark Restaurants (ARKR - Get Report) and Kona Grill (KONA - Get Report). Both focus on concepts that offer upscale dining for couples, young professionals and a business clientele. Both have plenty of room to grow and trade at modest valuations relative to other small, fast-growing restaurants. In the case of Ark, you also get a 4.5% yield. Both have pristine balance sheets and are among of the more attractive segments of the restaurant industry today, offering fresh, casual foods that have become a growing lifestyle choice for many consumers. Steady growth and consistent cash flows are the name of the game for well-branded restaurant concepts. Investors have taken note in the past several years, but the growth opportunity remains huge for quality restaurant ideas. At the time of publication the author had no position in any of the stocks mentioned.Select the service that is right for you!

Thursday, September 17
Comerica Park
Attendance: None
Detroit, MI (Sports Network) - Josh Anderson and Miguel Olivo each hit three- run home runs as the Kansas City Royals clobbered the Detroit Tigers, 9-2, in the finale of a three-game set.
The loss drops Detroit's lead in the AL Central to four games over Minnesota, which had off on Thursday. These teams will meet for a three-game series at the Metrodome starting on Friday.
Willie Bloomquist went 4-for-5 with two runs scored while Alberto Callaspo went 2-for-4 with three RBI and a run scored for the Royals, who have won eight of their last 10 games.
"It's been nice and refreshing to get on the board and score some runs, out- slug a couple teams here and there," Bloomquist said.
Zack Greinke (14-8) got the win as he went five innings and was charged with just three hits and two walks with eight strikeouts. In the fourth inning he was hit in the right arm by a line drive off the bat of Miguel Cabrera, but he stayed in the game.
Cabrera clubbed a two-run home run, while Edwin Jackson (12-7) was tagged for five runs on six hits over five innings of work for the Tigers, who are 3-7 over their last 10 games.
The Royals wasted no time getting on the board as the team went on top in the first. Bloomquist led off with a single and, after Mitch Maier flied out, Billy Butler reached base on a fielder's choice that saw Bloomquist beat the force out at second. Callaspo later hit a double to the gap in left-center to chase home both runners for a 2-0 lead.
In the third, Kansas City increased its lead as Butler led off with a single, Callaspo later walked and Olivo followed with a shot that just cleared the wall in dead center for a 5-0 lead.
The Royals made it an 8-0 game in the sixth as Anderson clubbed a three-run home run in the frame, his first homer of the season.
The Tigers finally got on the board in the sixth as Cabrera's two-run homer, his 30th of the season, made it an 8-2 game.
However, Kansas City got a run back in the eighth on Callaspo's RBI single for a 9-2 lead.
"We got the wind taken out of our sails a little bit," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "It shouldn't happen. You don't want it to happen...The offense was not good."

Leeke van der Poel, Hydro International |
There is quite a difference between land surveyors (topographers) and those who survey at sea. Topographers can generally gather their information by direct observation and measurement, whereas hydrographic surveyors have a much less straightforward approach because their subject cannot be seen directly as a whole, and more subjective and interpretive methods have to be used, for example, drawing depth contours in a sand-wave area based on single-beam soundings or making bottom-texture charts from side-scan sonar recordings. Geophysicists and geologists have it even harder to determine the exact location of the subsurface structures given that their work is more targeted at a 3D world from which they cannot even directly see the top (because they want to map beneath the seafloor). What hydrographers and marine geologists have in common is that they have to map all their findings before they can have insight in the whole. In contrast, topographers can normally see the panorama first before they start to reconstruct it in a map form. Luckily, new technologies are helping hydrographers and geologists. Multi-beam echosounding solves the problem of the depth contours, and new sub-bottom profiling techniques and other acoustic methods such as Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS), 3D Chirp and advanced GIS data fusion techniques makes things much easier. In this light, I would like to draw your attention to the article, 3D High-resolution Sub-bottom Profiling (see page 6). Systems such as this, together with current computing power, make it possible to achieve three-dimensional imaging of the subsurface. |

normal is unusual these days.
Best Answer
Not very. Most people compare themselves to what they believe is "normal" and so they believe that they are unusual in what they think and do. Actually, normal is a mathematical statistical concept that was never meant to apply to a particular individual so, no one is normal. And most people go out of their way to hide anything odd or unusual in their lives which also adds to the myth that "everyone is 'normal' except me."
Best Answer
I think it's relative.

Teddy Riley & Chauncey Black File Trademark Infringement Lawsuit Against Blackstreet Ent, Inc.,... |
topic by Avon_Barksdale - 12-27-2011, 01:32 AM
Blackstreet Entertainment, Inc., Files Trademark Infringement Lawsuit Against Two Former Work for Hire Singers with the Grammy Award Winning Group Blackstreet December 5th, 2011 Hollywood, CA There is nothing more valuable to any world renowned recording artist than legally protecting rights to their brand. My clients icons Teddy Riley and Chauncey Black d/b/a Blackstreet Entertainment Inc., have retained attorney Duncan G. Byers of the Byers Law Group in Norfolk, Virginia to file a Trademark and Copyright Infringement Lawsuit. The Blackstreet brand must be protected from misuse by two former work for hire artists, says Monica Anders PR/Media Strategist. A lawsuit was filed on December 1st, 2011 in the United States District Court in the State of Virginia. Throughout the UK, Europe and among other noted places, the former two work for hire singers Mark Middleton & Eric Williams booked and performed an amateur style karaoke track concert under the famed Billboard chart topping group name of Blackstreet at various venues using the trademark brand and past group photos to encourage ticket sales. Fans across the globe have been deceived into believing that they were buying tickets for Blackstreet by unauthorized photo promotion hype from two past work for hire singers. Make no mistake. The brand Blackstreet has been intact for over a decade with a flawless reputation of providing quality music excellence, only state of the art live band performances, sellout concerts and a memorable stage presence that has been created by the founders of the group, Teddy Riley and Chauncey Black, not hopeful stand ins says PR/Media Strategist Monica Anders. Furthermore, there has been unreliable and disparaging information printed by various social sites and media sources which have no merit to this particular situation about my clients. It is apparent that massive media distortion for the sake of making headlines weighs in verses mirroring facts to create a story board with the truth. Universally promoters must be far more investigative, cautious and proactive in securing the real deal and careful not to cut corners for the sake of making a few dollars more. It should be suspect when founding members Chauncey Black and Teddy Riley are not on tour with their group. With numerous high profile social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook and the like, it is not that hard in todays music industry to reach directly for the stars.

Bladen County residents told the Board of Health just what they're facing with the possibility of a turkey farm coming into Dublin. Some residents say they don't mind the farm, they just don't want it near where they live.
Concerns about the farm range from quality of life issues to possible health problems. Residents also say they're worried about their property values going down.
Douglas Butler says his home in Dublin is his getaway but the possibility of a turkey farm 500 feet from his backyard is threatening to gobble up his peace and quiet.
"There will be noise, a lot of noise," Douglas Butler said. "We'll never be able to open our windows or hang clothes on our clothesline again. This was our little paradise and we're fighting to try and keep it."
Butler says he's not the only one fighting, either. He says the farm will negatively affect more than two thousand people that live in Dublin.
"The community is up in arms and I've never seen anything touch a nerve like this has touched," Butler said.
That was evident by the standing room only crowd at a public meeting with the department of health.
"If a poultry farm is in the area it would ruin residents' homes, yards. It's a water quality problem," resident Dennis Trooi said.
Residents also say the farm would decrease property values. In a town like Dublin, that doesn't sit well.
"A lot of peoples, you know, their house is pretty much a lot of the wealth they have," Butler said. "This house will be uninhabitable and it will not be worth anything on the real estate market."
"My wife and myself had plans to add on to the home we had right now," resident Kory Hair said. "But we've put those plans on hold because we don't want to necessarily live near a chicken house."
Douglas Butler says he doesn't want to either.
"You build a house you invest in a house you don't want to see your investment go to nothing," Butler said.
The Health Department says it can't stop the turkey farm from going up unless there is proof that its location and distance to homes would be a health hazard to residents.

Solutions Providers: Whatever You Do, Don't Do This
The "this" that I'm talking about is the practice that I've seen MSPs (managed services providers) and IT consultants repeat many times. Tragically, each repetition costs the MSP and/or IT consultant a ton of cash. The behavior that I'm talking about is the result of success that the MSP has had. Ironically, the more successful small MSPs are, the more rapidly they want to grow, hire more engineers, and enjoy more recurring revenue.
Patch Management As A Path To Recurring Revenue Growth For MSPs

A really really good friend of mine gave me a his old set of 6 lug 22" Momo Storm wheels and tires (came of his Escalade) for my birthday and I now have this dilemma on whether I should get them on my Tacoma or sell them. This should not have been a problem obviously because I would rather keep the wheels than sell them, however when I called a shop (Firestone Complete Auto) yesterday and asked if they can install and balance the wheels and tires for me - they said the 6 lug pattern on the wheels don't match my trucks 6 lug pattern. I was like WTF?
So now I am making this plea to all TacoWorld experts to help me out with this predicament. Would I "really" be able to install the 22" Momo Storm wheels on my '06 Super White Toyota Tacoma Double-Cab Long Bed, or should I just sell it and not cry out about it. Hope to hear from you guys soon. Thanks!
Attached are the images of the tires and the link to the Momo website for the wheels.

Glee is a show that comes on Fox. Its about a group of outcast that come together in a singing group called "Glee" (where the show named came from).They go through problems within the school, as they continue to be in the club, and how they try to make it to the top.
While "Glee" is a show that airs on Fox, it's not all about the outcasts. It's just a show about a high school glee club (where the name comes from) called New Directions, not Glee. It's about their journey though high school and not just their problems from being in the club.
It sounds like freaking High School Musical. Which sucks.
So, it's not something I would watch.

Craft beer in Minneapolis

Heading to Minneapolis later this summer and looking for bars and restaurants with a good selection of craft/micro beers.
Minneapolis is a great town for beer. There are a lot of craft brewers and brewpubs. My personal favorite craft brewer in the area is Surly and I saw their tap handles in a lot of bars and restaurants around town when I was there recently.
Minneapolis Town Hall Brewery is my favorite brewpub - don't miss Masala Mama IPA, if you like a West Coast style IPA.
Stub and Herb's is a bar with a very wide selection, though it is close to a college campus and may get crowded later at night. I have always gone rather early in the evening and have always found a quiet spot to have a beer.
Blue Nile is an Ethiopian restaurant whose bartender really focuses on high quality beers. They may only have about a dozen taps but they are all of impeccable quality. It is very close to a liquor store called Zipp's where you can by Surly cans by the single if you so desire.
Finally, I have not been to Cafe Twenty Eight but it is on my list. From the website, it sounds like a farm to table restaurant with a Surly fetish. Should be my kind of place.

DJ D Day Any Day
Will he, won't he? Hear it here first! We have it on good authority that DJ Campbell is likely to get his mum to sew a 'Dudley Campbell' label onto his tangerine shirt and make his move to Bloomfield Road permanent sometime next week. With an offer of 300K being around a third of the price that Leicester have dreamed up, it is expected that a compromise mid-way between the two will be struck sometime next week.

Hello Mike, Thank you very much for your comments. SHORT ANSWER "Unnecessarily" from _my_ standpoint (obviously limited). GORY DETAILS (in the order of increasing blood content) 1. I do happen to have 'setfdprm', a carry over from my original 2005-LFS system (on two machines - mirrored) I've never used it nor do I foresee a need in the future. No "mode" tools have ever failed on me, to my recollection. Not that I ever used them consciously. 2. For reference 01/20/2005 util-linux-2.12q My setfdprm version 09/23/2005 util-linux-2.12r Last of the series The new "ng" series no longer contain 'setfdprm' (by accident??): 09/10/2008 util-linux-ng-2.14.1 My version 09/07/2009 util-linux-ng-2.16 Latest non-rc 3. Each of my two machines has a garden-variety floppy. In Linux, I use them regularly with various size floppies, 360, 720 but, by far, 1440. The numerous floppy drives I've encountered just accepted/read the floppies. Never a need to change the mode. The last thing is to start a flame here; I still see a need for floppies on Linux due to the relatively small sizes of files in need to be quickly sneakered among machines. I also understand the people who rave and rant against using floppies at this day and age (God Bless'em). I would also understand someone who still uses/needs "cmos"/setfdprm/modes if I ever hear a real case in the developed world (Got Bless her too, in advance). 4. As I said, I'll personally be just fine with only '/dev/fd0' for the rest of my Linux life. HOWEVER, modes or no modes, my actual POINT has been that the situation when "last_rule" existed, while ugly, was manageable for me. Once that OPTION was arbitrarily eliminated ("Its use breaks too many things ...") everything becomes a nightmare (in relative terms :) for me, with the ATTRS{cmos} rule imposed by the UDEV developers (and reinforced by LFS) as a default. That's why I hoped someone might know another "semi-permanent" workaround in the 147+ world. 5. My bad luck (I suppose, like many others who use a floppy as a floppy - like me) is that the mostly intractable by mere mortals, the '/sys' file system, has a "file" '/sys/devices/platform/floppy.0/cmos' with a mysterious content, one byte of value ASCII 4. This makes my system(s) eligible for the famous "cmos" rule, whether I like it or not, or whether 99% of the population couldn't tell a "CMOS" floppy drive from a hole in the ground. Thanks again, -- Alex PS. If someone (a System Administrator?) could help and delete my FIRST post (the one without the "Hello NOTE" disclaimer.), that'd mean a lot to me. It's obviously been a disgrace and a confusion. I was testing if my Verizon (as opposed to GMail) had acceptable plain text I could use. Unfortunately, the self-test went awry and the draft escaped into the world wide web.

Wyoming's hire of Craig Bohl as football coach is praised by Jim McElwain
Posted By Tom Kensler On July 31, 2014 @ 10:33 am In College Sports,Colorado State University,Football,Mountain West Conference,University of Wyoming | No Comments
Speaking with reporters that cover the Mountain West during the conference's recent football media-day activities in Las Vegas, Colorado State coach Jim McElwain was asked about Craig Bohl taking over Wyoming's program.
Bohl, 56, coached North Dakota State to the past three FCS national championships and compiled an overall record of 104-32 in ll seasons there. Prior to his time at NDSU, Bohl was the linebackers coach (1995-1999), then the defensive coordinator (2000-2002) at Nebraska.
"I tell you what, Wyoming got themselves a great one," McElwain said. "He's a guy that's proven. He has a system that wins. He understands how to do it and does it right.
"I know this, Craig is a guy in our profession that is highly, highly respected for all the things that he has accomplished. I think it's really a great fit for the University of Wyoming."

I don't know why, but I'm not near as comfortable with the Texas game as I should be after last night. Texas has played some good competition this year, and they have looked awful at times in doing it. I hope ISU responds positively to last night, but I see a close game coming Saturday. ISU- 71 $$$- 68
ISU 78 Texas 64
ISU 75 Texas 61 Should be a great crowd. There aren't any sets of two tickets together left on cyclones.com
Probably will be closer than we like but the good guys get a conference win. ISU 78 UT 72

We win comfortably. 85-67. Texas has struggled mightily scoring points. 8 of their games they have scored 65 points or less. That is over half their games.
Kabongo back for Texas just in time for this game. I have no idea how our team will respond after KU. Will be there cheering regardless.

Just curious, does anybody think we have a shot at being ranked if we beat Texas comfortably? It sounds a little ridiculous but everyone who is anyone in the college basketball world saw what almost happened last night...

Jose Canseco has a simple message for all his haters.
The disgraced former MLB slugger, whose Twitter page is a combination of a bizarre set of ramblings and questionable scientific discoveries, wants all of his haters to know that he will eat them.
Quite literally.
Because he is Jose Canseco, he needed to be big and bold with this message. So he created a YouTube video of a cartoon dinosaur roaring, "I will eat all my haters."
This text will be replaced
When Canseco is not boasting about destroying his haters, he is hanging around Las Vegas clubs with his dog, Bruce. According to a New York Post report, Canseco got Bruce past security at a pool party by claiming that he's an "emotional service pet."

Sex has always felt, I don't know, good. I mean, really, really good. But sometimes it just makes you feel bad. You're drunk, you shack up, then it's the whole morning thing, "Hey, that was fun," and then adios. Always the adios.
So you just hit the virginity do-over button and all is good with the man upstairs?

It's also possible the Sox are showcasing some of these guys. If there's one thing this team does have an abundance of, it is young pitching. Probably the only 2 SP you can definitely pencil in the rotation for next season is Sale (because he's a ****ing beast) and Danks (because of the contract). But after that, between Quintana, Santiago, Rienzo, Johnson, and maybe even Snodgress you have potentially 5 pitchers to fill 3 slots. It would absolutely not be crazy to think the Sox might deal from their strength to address some of their weaknesses in the off-season.
The same is true in the bullpen. There's no reason to think Reed won't be shopped this winter, closers are more valuable to teams that expect to be winning in the 9th inning regularly. Between Jones, Petricka, and Daniel Webb, the Sox have 3 candidates to replace him if he is dealt.
And again, all of this criticism comes against the backdrop that the Sox are probably one of the 2-3 best teams in the Majors at developing young pitching right now and have arguably the best training staff in the league, as well. If you want to talk about them rushing some of their young hitters in the minors, I'll listen to that, that's been a pretty regular criticism of this team in the last few years, but they do have a very good track record of developing and protecting young arms.

Last week, while packing away a few cookbooks, an old newspaper clipping tucked between two books slipped off the shelf and swooped into my lap, opening as it landed to reveal a photograph of a mouth-watering spread: a bowl filled with herb-and-olive oil topped ricotta, a few slices of grilled bread, and a handful of halved black mission figs. A quick glance through the article led me to discover that this appetizer, described as "stupid simple" by the chef of A Voce at the time (2008) was the most popular appetizer on the menu.
With the task at hand long forgotten — I've always been a hopeless packer — I made my way to the kitchen, hoping to find cheesecloth and heavy cream, making ricotta the order of the hour. And thirty minutes later, the stupid simple appetizer had materialized: creamy curds seasoned with sea salt, fresh thyme, dried oregano, and a drizzling of olive oil.

Old Style Beer

Got some Bleacher Bums coming next weekend and they love their Old Style Beer. Where do they sell Old Style Beer, cans or on tap.
Their website indicates that it is NOT distributed in California. Better find out what they like second best.
re: Will Owen
Galco's the place for all kinds of soda? I've never been there but I didn't think they sold beer.
re: Reality Check
Of course they're great for soda, but they have a huge beer selection as well. Probably even bigger than their soda selection.
There's a place on Lincoln Ave in Santa Monica (south of Pico by a few blocks, on the east side of the street) that used to have Old Style. I think it used to be called The Bitter Redhead, but now it's got some new, temporary sign out front. If I remember correctly, it's now called "The Loop." I have gone there to see Bears games and they had Old Style, but that was a year or so ago, so I don't know if things have changed. It's a real dive. Which is a good thing.

Two days after a downward revision in the tariff value of bullion in view of the slump in global prices, the government, on Thursday, slashed the rates further for gold to $449 per 10 grams and silver to $762 a kg to match the extreme price volatility in international markets.
The reduction in tariff value, according to an official release here, has been announced through a notification by the Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC).
With bullion prices plummeting earlier this week, it was on April 16 that the tariff value which, in effect, is the base price on which the customs duty is determined to prevent under-invoicing in imports, was scaled down to $499 per 10 grams for gold and to $890 a kg for silver.
While gold was ruling at $1,337.86 an ounce in Singapore on Thursday, the price of the yellow metal here was also down to Rs.26,600 per 10 grams, after having declined sharply over the last few trading sessions.
The worry for the government is that while a fall in gold prices is a positive for containing the current account deficit (CAD) as lower prices will act as a disincentive for investment, a slump in prices may lead to a fresh boost in domestic demand and a larger volume of imports.

I'll supply sodas and water. Folks need to bring food as a potluck. Bring booze if you want to drink and share, but I ask that you drink responsibly and not get soused.
So, sign up on this thread with:
first name, what mod you want to do or help out with, what food you'll bring
Then on the day before the event, I'll PM my address and phone number out to the folks who've signed up.

A recent article lauding a so-called "looming wave of new generic pills," like many similar articles, fails to paint the bigger picture: that generics, while an important part of the healthcare system, ultimately play a limited role for patients.

There's a geek-blog site I check out periodically. It mostly writes about science fiction and popular culture, but occasionally it takes an interesting look at real developments in the sciences and medicine.
You should check-out the piece by Ken Thorpe that recently ran in U.S. News & World Report's Health section. The piece is entitled: Health Reform That Passes the Buck Is Short-Sighted.
David Brooks has a typically thoughtful column in today's New York Times. Brooks takes a look at the roll of healthcare costs in our budget debate and opines:
New research, released today by the IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics, affirms what we've been saying for awhile now: The average costs for medicines frequently used by Medicare Part D beneficiaries have declined significantly since the implementation of the program.
Recently Bob Cobuzzi, Vice President of Corporate Development for Endo Pharmaceuticals, sat down in front of a camera for a few minutes to discuss the challenges faced by emerging American biopharmaceutical companies that are trying to reach markets outside the U.S.
When discussing progress associated with medical innovation, we like to mention both life-saving and life-enhancing medicines. Why? Because so many debilitating chronic conditions may not be life-threatening, but the patients who live with them still deserve the best that healthcare has to offer.
With the new Battelle report focusing on how biopharmaceutical innovation helps to fuel the economy, I wanted to share a local view from Iowa. Tom Swegle is the Vice Chairman of the Iowa Biotechnology Association and he recently published a great oped in the Des Moines Register.
Monday, we discussed how policies that undercut the biopharmaceutical research sector could lead to huge job losses, with an annual reduction in sector revenue of $20 billion potentially leading to as many as 260,000 lost jobs.

CAIRO, Egypt — Customs officers at Cairo's airport detained a man today bound for Saudi Arabia who was trying to smuggle 700 live snakes on a plane, airport authorities said.
The officers were stunned when a passenger, identified as Yahia Rahim Tulba, told them his carryon bag contained live snakes after he was asked to open it.
Tulba opened his bag to show the snakes to the police and asked the officers, who held a safe distance, not to come close.

Sand more deadly than sharks, claim doctors who study deaths at the beach
By MIKE STOBBE AP Medical Writer
ATLANTA - Waves and sharks aren't the only dangers at the beach. More than two dozen young people have been killed over the last decade when sand holes collapsed on them, report father-and-son doctors who have made warning of the risk their personal campaign.
Since 1985, at least 20 children and young adults in the United States have died in beach or backyard sand submersions.

Excel 2007 tip #1: Make your data visible to other Excel users by saving in Excel 97-2003 format
Files produced by Excel 2007 are in the new .xlsx format. No other version of Excel can read them unless a special compatibility pack has been installed.
If you plan to share your Excel 2007 files with other Excel users, you can set Excel 2007 to save your files automatically in Excel 97-2003 format. This will allow other Excel users who have not upgraded to Excel 2007 to read your files.
How to set Excel 2007 to automatically save files in Excel 97-2003 format:
- Start up Excel 2007. Open an empty worksheet.
- Click the Office button at top left (the one with the four color Windows 2003 logo). This brings up a menu with: New – Open – Convert - Save – Save As etc.
- At the bottom of the window, click onto the "Excel Options" button. There's a list of options to the left, headed "Popular".
- Click onto the fourth one down – Save. To the right of Save it says: "Save files in this format." In the box it says "Excel Workbook (*.xlsx)."
- Click on the down arrow at the right of the box. A list appears.
- Click on the fourth item – "Excel 97-2003 Workbook (*.xls)."
- Click OK at the bottom of the window.
To check that your change has worked:
You should now be back in the blank Excel worksheet. Click on the colored Office button again. This time select: Save As. The Save As box appears. At the bottom it should say: Save as type Excel 97-2003 workbook.
Thank you to David Carter and our sister site, accountingweb.co.uk for this tip.


text: | Fun in the mudAugust 19, 2014 - Brett Van WausI'll never forget last Saturday when I was a runner in the Warrior Dash, a 3.3 mile-long obstacle course. I put on athletic shorts, a tank top, my Nike Frees and didn't know what to expect. The weather was damp and misty. It was a long drive to the field it was located at in Earlham Iowa. My boyfriend asked me to do it with him and we were in it together. We walked up to registration in the midst of thousands of other people. We received a number bib, a t-shirt and a cotton helmet with horns. We walked back to the car to put that stuff away and my shoes were starting to get muddy. I started wiping the mud off. This was a lost cause because there was much more mud to come, more than I could even imagine. We were in one of three large groups participating in the race. We and hundreds of other people in our group stood under a flame on top of the starting line and began to run on the grass. The run wasn't bad. We weren't the best, in-shape people at the race, but we weren't the worst, so we kept pace. We ran up a hill, down a hill, up a hill and about a half of a mile later we hit the first obstacle— climbing over a wooden board. It wasn't a hard obstacle, neither was the next one. We continued to run after completing small obstacles. After running more we came to our first challenging obstacle. We had to go in the ground down a muddy hill in water and under barbed-wire to get to the other side. There was no way of not getting muddy. My shoes were solid and my legs were covered in mud. I felt a real connection to the Earth. There was no way of running. We sped walked down muddy hills, through creeks, up rocks, completed more obstacles and encountered more mud. We skipped three obstacles. The first one we skipped was and obstacle where we would have to climbed up a mud hill and slide into a mud pool and swim across. We didn't want to get more muddy so we skipped it, that was a lost cause. The other two we skipped because the lines were massive. They were long because even the most in-shape people had a difficult time completed it. We just walked around. We started to hear loud music, we were close to the end. We jumped over fire and ran to the last, and in my opinion, the best obstacle of the course. We climbed up a rope, crossed a wooden board about 30-feet above a pool of mud, slid down a water slide into a mud pool, crawled under barbed-wire and swam in a mud pool to the finish line. One and a half hours later we were done. We crossed that finish line and survived. We got a medal and were soaked with mud. It was a memory I'll never forget. I can't wait to do it again next year. | Blog Photos |

LINCOLN – Fans flocked to Lincoln High's Ferguson Field on Thursday afternoon/evening to catch a glimpse of what their varsity grid teams may offer this season in the Rhode Island Interscholastic League's four divisions.
Perhaps the most tense tilt for the crowds attending this R.I. Injury Fund quadruple-header came in the form of Shea's 7-0 victory over Woonsocket, that a battle of usual Division II mainstays. The most entertaining contest, however, was the third, a free-for-all between D-I's East Providence and D-II's St. Raphael Academy.

This is a great craft for kids just learning to tell time. Make sure you check out the full Hickory Dickory Dock section for more ideas and for verses to the popular nursery rhyme from one o'clock to noon
We made this craft when Kaitlyn was about 2 1/2 years old -- She's 4 1/2 now (yes, that's how long these things sit before I get them on the site sometimes *blush*). If you prefer, you can choose to make JUST the clock or JUST the mouse. If you're doing the craft with younger kids, you may want to make each part on a separate day (so they don't get tired). When we did it, we painted all the clock pieces and made the mouse on day 1. On day 2, we assembled the clock and added the mouse to it.

Still evolving at 53 and looking at what small difference I can make in the community at large. First and foremost I think starting at home is a priority. I have for about my whole life professed interest in environmental preservation, but have acted little for the larger cause other than my personal habits and consumption. I do of course think it all begins there. I am "sick" of the Election cycle and glad it is over. I know my vote for Jill Stein didn't make a whole lot of difference in the large scheme of things, but I voted my conscience and not the lesser of two bad choices. It is late tonight for me……………..more later.

If real rabbits are cute, and toys shaped like rabbits are cute then toy rabbits massaging the ears of real rabbits in a mildly sexual but mostly cute way is the best thing ever. Okay it's a bit dull to start with but wait till the toy rabbit's upward arm motion catches the real rabbit's ears and they flop up and down in the cutest way ever… Well l like it anyway.

As he talks he grabs a retractable truck-brush pole and absent-mindedly telescopes it in and out, in and out, in and out. "I like it. I like coming out here," he says. "No traffic coming out here."
Then: "I feel sick to my stomach. I've felt sick to my stomach for a week. We've had a lot of good times here. I've been here sixteen years, Jerry's been here eleven, Susan's been here quite awhile, Becky's been here nine." His voice slows. He stops fiddling with the pole, and for a moment he actually droops. "Well, I got some really good job offers. Amoco, maybe be a regional rep, represent four stores in the area, you know. Gotta take the good with the bad, the good with the bad." He's started up again -- in and out, in and out -- his eyes scanning the store like a cat tracking a fly. "You gotta stay up with the times. Very shortly we'll be out of the Nineties. Bob hasn't put money in the place the last five, six years, and it runs and runs and runs and runs like a clock. But you gotta stay up with the times."
Stuff you can find at Dade Corners: hunting knives, bilge pumps, twenty-foot-long bamboo fishing poles, air-seat blow-gun kits, brake coils, homemade banana bread, Florida Keys shot glasses, portable truck winches, CB microphones, breaded jalapenos stuffed with chicken and cheese, pencil holders in the shape of alligator heads.
"It's just a gas station," shrugs Becky Labno. But with a little prodding, she's soon talking about the customer who arrived only by helicopter and neighborhood manhunts for escaped convicts and a marriage that dawned in an exchange of flirtatious looks across the counter and another that ended in a hail of bullets three feet from her head.
She can be forgiven her initial indifference. After all, if you work at the carnival, the sight of dancing elephants eventually loses its thrill. For nine years Becky has operated one of the four cash registers in the convenience store at Dade Corners. Part of her job has been to ring up gas purchases: The station's pumps crank out 5000 gallons of Shell-issue petroleum every day. (It's pump-first-pay-later: "We're on the honor system," explains Tony. "We're not in Miami yet.") From her elevated roost, though, a yardstick above sea level, Becky has stood witness to the river of humanity that has swept through this intersection on the cusp of the Everglades, four miles past the westernmost housing development on the Tamiami Trail.
"It happened real quick," she begins, recalling the story of a recently divorced husband and wife who by chance happened to pull into the station at the same time. The man spotted the woman as she entered the store, returned to his truck, pulled out a gun, and began firing. "I was right here," Becky says, standing behind the cash register closest to the door. "Everybody said, 'Duck!' and I didn't move." She giggles and a blush reddens her pale, chubby face. "I was waiting on a customer, and the next thing I know he's down on the floor." The ex-wife was hit in the attack but didn't die, Becky recalls. The store lost a door.
Becky says it happens all the time, these chance encounters: Two people who haven't seen each other in years, maybe high school classmates now in their dotage, run into each other while ordering chicken wings and barbecue sandwiches at the in-store deli. Dade Corners has dubbed itself "The Meeting Place" and sells custom-made beer-can holders emblazoned with the slogan. "A cashier served a customer here once," Becky continues. "He asked her out and they got married."
Several years ago Dade Corners was a staging area for bikers taking mass Saturday-night runs, 75 to 100 strong. There would be so many motorcycles in the lot that no other vehicles could get in. Sometimes they'd head up Krome Avenue, block traffic, set up lights, and hold drag races along the dark road. But if it isn't bikers crowding the parking lot, it might be a small army of law enforcement officers sweeping the area, looking for prisoners who have busted out of the state correctional facility one mile west on the Trail or out of the federal detention center a half-mile south on Krome. "You know when there's an escape 'cause all the police are up and down the road with their guns," Becky says.
As for the helicopter man, Becky thinks he may have been a flight instructor, but she's not really sure: "He would land out back, come get his coffee, and leave."
More stuff: public-address paging horns, stainless-steel frogging gigs, fourteen varieties of beef jerky, alligator pot holders, four shelves of gun ammunition, cappuccino, a T-shirt that reads, "Bike Week Daytona Beach 1997 -- 56 Years."
"I don't eat in no shitty-ass damn restaurants," grumbles 82-year-old Ben Wolfe as he arranges the food in front of him at Dade Corners' bar-restaurant, the Frog Pond. Apple pie, a glass of iced tea, and a Haagen-Dazs ice cream bar. "If I was an inspector, I'd close this place down. They have pretty good pie and I like the iced tea and, of course, the ice cream's on a stick so they can't screw that up so much."

The Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP), is a physically-based soil erosion prediction technology. WEPP has a number of customized interfaces developed for common applications such as roads, managed forests, forests following wildfire, and rangelands. It also has a large database of cropland soils and vegetation scenarios. The WEPP model is a distributed parameter, continuous simulation model, and is able to describe a given erosion concern in great detail for an experienced user.
The WEPP model consists of multiple applications that can estimate erosion and sediment processes on hillslopes and small watersheds, taking into account climate, land use, site disturbances, vegetation, and soil properties.
SNAP provides several platforms for looking at historic climate trends and climate projections in Alaska and western Canada:
1. Downloadable datasets for historic climate data and projected climate data (temperature and precipitation).
2. Interactive map - provides climate projections for Alaska and western Canada for each decade through 2100. User can choose what variables, time periods, seasonal averages, and emissions scenarios they'd like to view.
SNAP provides climate projections (temperature and precipitation) for Alaska and western Canada, using an ensemble of climate models (GCMs) and 3 emissions scenarios. Information is presented in a variety of formats.
A story of drought in western North Carolina and its impact on red spruce trees. Explores interactions between climate change, elevated nitrogen deposition and insects.
Hydrologic changes are projected to be profound under climate change, and a warmer and wetter future for the Pacific Northwest is expected.
The effect of disturbances, such as increased fires and insect attacks, will drive ecosystem change as much or more than warmer temperatures from climate change.
This special report of the IPCC examines the scientific literature on the relationship between climate change and extreme weather and climate events ("˜climate extremes"), and the implications of these events for society and sustainable development.
Scientists and collaborators have launched the ForWarn tool, the strategic research component of the national early warning system, to help natural resource managers rapidly detect, identify, and respond to unexpected changes in the nation's forests. ForWarn produces maps showing potential forest disturbance across the conterminous United States at 231-meter resolution every 8 days, based on images obtained over the preceding 24-day analysis window.

Shakira Hit Song Loca Broke Copyright Laws
A judge has ruled that one of Shakira's hit songs copied the work of a Dominican songwriter.
US District Judge Alvin Hellerstein said the Colombian pop star's 2010 Spanish-language single Loca infringed on Ramon 'Arias' Vasquez's song Loca Con Su Tiguere, which was released in the late 1990s.
Mr Hellerstein dismissed claims that Shakira's English version of the track also infringed, citing a lack of evidence during the hearing in Manhattan.
The single, which featured Dizzee Rascal, was not released as a single in the UK.
The judge said Shakira's single was based on a 2007 song by Dominican rapper Eduard Edwin 'Bello' Pou, better known as El Cata, which also copied Arias and was distributed by Sony.
The ruling is a victory for Mayimba Music, which holds the rights to Arias's work and which sued Sony Corp of America and several other Sony units in 2012.
The judge found only two of them liable, Sony/ATV Latin and Sony/ATV Discos, for distributing Shakira's song.
Shakira reached the top of the Latin Billboard charts with Loca, reportedly selling more than five million copies of the single worldwide.
"There is no dispute that Shakira's version of the song was based on Bello's version," wrote the judge. "Accordingly, I find that, since Bello had copied Arias, whoever wrote Shakira's version of the song also indirectly copied Arias."
The next phase of the case will be to determine Mayimba's damages and a permanent injunction requested by the company against Sony.
