Is it difficult to find a German shepherd breeder
Someday in like 2-5 years I want to get a German shepherd. I know this is a little too early though. A friend of mine told me it took her 5 years to find the perfect breeder. On my free time I looked around on webs and its hard to fine German shepherd breeders with straight backs. I don't like the breeders where the GSD's back or roached or sagged to the ground. That is absolutely horrible. However, I heard what they are should in the picture isn't exact what their backs actually look like. I also live in CA and looked for GSDs on the West Coast. Here are some breeders I found though Herrenstolz German Shepherds - Testimonials California German Shepherd Puppies for sale, - Deblyn's German Shepherds - Stevinson, California German Shepherd Breeders Puppies Protection Omegashepherds.com. Also what does SCH1 SCH2 SCH3 mean? Is this a bad or good thing? I heard from friends that this means level of prey drive or whatever. I would like a breeder that breeds healthy GSDs, great quantity, no sagged or roached backs, more like old fashion breeders. I am a 17 year old boy and have my own Labradoodle. I take care of German shepherds walk, sit, etc. I have for a long time for some years now. German shepherds are my favorite breed of dog and I'm highly obsessed with them. I love high energy dogs and doing lots of outdoor activities with dogs. I have my own dog walking dog sitting business, regular customer to the local dog park. I don't know why I just feel a little worried that when the time comes for me to get a German shepherd a lot of them might just be roached and sagged backs and not quite the same as old fashion GSDs. I might get a rescue first since its cheaper. |

Hi Lobobear:
My suggestion would be to learn as much as you can about the breed. What it was and what it is now. Once you understand the breed some, then start thinking about what you want your dog to do. There are different lines for different focus. Some dogs do have roached and or sloped backs but unless you are familiar with stacking, you may not be able to tell. On some of the sites you brought up that could be the case.The dogs are placed in that position for show or pictures. SCH1 SCH2 SCH3 are titles that dogs can earn by participating in the sport of schutzhund. SCH3 the highest. Breeders is a very long topic on it's own and people often disagree on breeders. If you study the breed, decide the preference you want then finding the breeder will be less of a task. Visit breeders and you will begin to see the difference. Good luck and keep checking back. |

Looks don't matter as much once you learn more... there are many more things to prioritize.

We ask where in a state one is as a reference point. There could very well be a breeder pretty well near you. Thats the only reason we ask. Example, I'm in Colorado but my location says which city. Thats all anyone knows. They'd have to know me personally to know exactly where. Its a relatively large city too. I have a couple breeders close by in Denver which is roughly an hours drive from the springs. I'm not trying to push you. Just trying to explain why the question is asked. If I were looking for a breeder nearby and I said my location is Colorado Springs, anyone with knowledge of breeders within a three hour distance from me could give me a referall to check out those specific breeders.
As far as sloped backs, more often than not, it's due to the stacked position of the dog. If you were to look at pictures of a stacked dog and then view pictures of the dog in a relax stance, you'd see the back is straight. All the abbreviations you'll see usually have something to do with a certification or a title. CGC is the Canine Good Citizen certificate, as an example.

@KZoppa thanks for the advice ! Ok so I'll give it a shot I live in the Bay Area, but I would like to find a breeder someday in a few years along the west coast. Traveling will be fine with me. Anyone know breeders that's like 3 hours or a little more?

examples: a quick search reveals this breeder supposedly close to your area....
Covy Tucker Hill German Shepherd Breeders - Home Also found several links for GSD rescues. Keep in mind, breeders can also ship a pup to you if you find a breeder you prefer several states away.

general search of GSD breeders on the West Coast reveals....
DM Free German Shepherds, German Shepherd Puppies, German Shepherd Puppy For Sale, German Shepherd Breeder, German Shepherd Dogs, German Shepherd Stud Dog, West German German Shepherds, German Shepherds California, West Coast German Shepherds German Shepherd puppies for sale California Von Salerno World Class German Shepherds German Shepherd Dog, True Haus Kennels Keep in mind there are different lines aka showlines vs working lines and in each bracket so to speak there are different branches within them as well. It would be best to learn about the different lines and make a list of desired traits. Some lines are easier than others to handle, especially for a new GSD owner.

Product Details
SummarySince 1994, Juxtapoz Magazine, published in San Francisco, has provided a forum for so called Lo-Brow art-work inspired by comics, hot rods, and popular culture -and has become, in the years since, the most widely read art magazine in the United States. Juxtapoz provides a voice and validation for a brand of artist, like founder Robert Williams, Mark Ryden, Coop, Camille Rose Garcia, Glen Barr, the Clayton Brothers, Isabel Samaras, Joe Coleman, and many, many others, who have not historically been accepted by the typical art-world infrastructure of collector, curator, and critic. However, since its founding, it has become the leverage point for the creation of its own infrastructure that supports Juxtapozian art with galleries around the world, collectors, increasing critical attention, and museum exhibitions at adventurous institutions. This exciting and provocative collection presents a group of artists who rejected traditional rules of the art establishment and created their own canon, known as the Juxtapoz School. Published in conjunction with the Laguna Art Museum for the 2008 exhibition In the Land of Retinal Delights. |

Who Will Chop Off the Head of Tom Horne's Zombie-Like Campaign?
New Times Illustration
As Tom Horne's zombie-like re-election campaign staggers forth, a question remains: Who will chop off its head?
Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne's bizarre relationship with women is best described by ex-AG staffer Sarah Beattie, the 26-year-old who has deluged both state and federal authorities with physical evidence demonstrating that Horne and his executive staff have campaigned on state time.
Sitting in the office of her attorney, Tom Ryan, she confides a conversation she had with Horne while still working at the AG's Office.
"Tom Horne once said to me, 'I would love to be [a member of the Fundamentalist Church of Latter-day Saints],'" she explains to New Times, referring to the infamous polygamous sect once headed by imprisoned child rapist Warren Jeffs.
In reply to the AG's creepy remark, Beattie repeated to Horne a comment she'd heard her dad make about a "sister wives" reality TV show depicting a polygamous family's home life.
"I told Tom Horne that my dad said, 'Can you imagine anything more awful than five wives yelling at you constantly?'" recalls Beattie.
"And Tom goes, 'I can imagine nothing better.'"
The story rings true for a man who surrounds himself with female surrogates whom he expects to do his bidding, like compliant fembots following Dr. Evil's orders in an Austin Powers film.
Some seem content to play that role, like former Assistant Attorney General Carmen Chenal.
Horne first hired Chenal for a position she was unqualified for at the Arizona Department of Education, while Horne was the state's Superintendent of Public Instruction.
Later, as AG-elect, Horne helped Chenal, who'd been suspended by the State Bar of Arizona, get her law license reinstated.
Horne then hired her to another position many felt she was unqualified for, this time at the AG's Office.
Chenal never has denied being Horne's mistress. Nor has Horne, who is married, denied an affair with the Cuban-American divorcee.
Chenal now works at the law office of Dennis Wilenchik, a political supporter of Horne's, whose firm has taken cases assigned to it by the AG's Office.
Some of the material that Beattie has made public shows that Chenal remains deeply involved in Horne's political work, scouting Molina Fine Jewelers as a possible location for a campaign event (and trying on an $8 million ring in the process) or discussing via e-mail such details as the biscotti to be included in gift bags handed out at fundraisers.
Not that you have to be romantically involved with Horne to drink the proverbial Kool-Aid, play compliant female, and join an ersatz political harem stocked with Stepford wives.
Beattie certainly bucked any such expectations that she would do the fembot bit.
Hired by Horne's outreach director, Kathleen Winn, in August 2013, Beattie explains how she did campaign work on state time as Winn's underling.
Beattie was promoted to Horne's executive staff after about a month and a half on the job and tasked with raising money for his re-election campaign, something she'd done for other Arizona Republicans.
Horne gave her the veritable keys to his kingdom: access to a white, three-ring binder intentionally mislabeled "Border Patrol." It contains a list of Horne donors — in categories such as Fortune 500 executives and attorneys — past and prospective.
Horne kept the binder in the AG's Office. Beattie would fetch it whenever she needed it. She claims she watched Horne solicit donations from it himself while he was in his AG office.

Surgical Procedures for Scoliosis
Surgery is usually reserved for severe cases of scoliosis with a degree of curvature over 40°-50°.
The goals of surgery are to:
- Stop the progression of scoliosis
- Lessen the curve
- Avoidance of complications in adulthood, such as lung disease due to restriction of a deformed chest cavity
Many types of techniques can be used for scoliosis. These techniques have some or all of the following in common:
- Efforts to restore some symmetry to the torso and pelvic areas.
Supporting the vertebrae.
- This can be done with or without hardware, such as steel rods, screws, or hooks.
- Procedures can be done with or without spinal fusion .
Fusion Surgery
Spinal fusion surgery involves joining together adjacent vertebrae to result in growth into one solid bone. This results in permanent restrictions on certain types of movement. The restriction depends on how many bones are fused together. Hardware is used to keep the spine in place while the bones fuse together.
Cortel-Dubousset Procedure
This is one of the most common surgeries performed for scoliosis. This type of surgery is a posterior spinal fusion. A metal rod is attached to each side of the spine by using hooks attached to the vertebral bodies. The spine is then fused with a piece of bone from the hip area. The bone grows in between the vertebrae and holds them together and straight. The metal rods attached to the spine help the backbone remain straight while the spinal fusion takes place.
Thoracoscopic Anterior Instrumentation
Small incisions are made for insertion of a thoracoscope and surgical instruments. Thoracoscopic surgery is less invasive, but in some studies surgery and recovery times appear to be longer than conventional surgery. Although there are some benefits to this type of surgery, serious post-surgical complications are possible. If this surgical procedure is an option for your child, be sure to weigh out all the options with the doctor.
Non-Fusion Surgery
Non-fusion surgical procedures are designed to help the curve correct itself over time. These procedures do not restrict movement once the spine has healed. Some of these are somewhat new procedures, and may not be available everywhere.
- Epiphysiodesis —This procedure is designed to stop growth on one side of the spine. The other side of the spine will continue to grow. There will be slow, progressive correction.
- Vertebral body stapling —Staples are used through thoracoscope and insterted into the spine. The staple acts as a clamp to stabilize the spine. Depending on the severity of the curve, a rod may be used to stabilize the spine while it heals.
- Vertebral wedge osteotomy —A wedge-shaped portion of the bone in the spine is cut out on one side of the curve. The open space left in the spine is then closed together. A temporary rod is inserted while the bones heal.
- Magnetically controlled growing rods —A rod is implanted to straighten the spine. Growth adjustments to the rod are done with a magnet, minimizing invasive surgical procedures.

Jaromir Jagr scored the winning goal to snap a third-period tie and led the New Jersey Devils to a 2-1 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday night.Travis Zajac had the other goal for New Jersey (29-24-13), which won for the fifth in seven games to move within two points of the third-place Flyers in the tightly bunched Metropolitan Division.
Nicklas Grossman scored for the Flyers (33-25-7), who are 7-2-1 in their last 10 games. Philadelphia had a potential tying goal by Scott Hartnell disallowed by officials with 40.1 seconds remaining because it was determined that Hartnell pushed goalie Martin Brodeur into the net.
Marek Zidlicky set up Jagr for the decisive goal with a backhanded pass from behind the net. Jagr lifted it off goalie Steve Mason and just inside the near post from close range to put New Jersey ahead 2-1 with 12:18 left.

Best Ana Alicia Poems
And there, there, infront of me a garden, There, there is a wall needed to be painted, There, there, back and forth, back and forth A single drop falls from this soul And there is great green grass Green grass in great expanse With a far, far away wall, Waiting to be painted To my left there is some clean soil, The soil guards a secret A secret to be discovered, Not so far away from the now but just going to the then. Back and forth here this body lays And another drop falls from this soul, And just like that the far, far away wall is painted Colors everywhere just in a blur, then with some form. There it goes on the far, far away wall, There you can see sunshine, dandelions, lilacs and a forest There, there, now can be seen, but then it changes There's a flash of hope and there is a rainbow. There, there always changin', Never the same And this soul is afraid Of what there is to see And what is to come by. Anna~

"It's all about Clint, not about Kate," he reminds himself before facing the firing squad. "Your bio is past-present-future. Talk about the functions of Miss Gay America. Tell them which ones you'd be best at. Don't forget one thing that's always impressed them: I've been accepted to Washington University Law School, and I've deferred enrollment until fall 2010 because I was competing this year. I'm the smart girl."
By day two, Unreal is dizzy.
"Muffin!" "Baby!" "Precious!" We've been called every sweet-something in the book, but when it comes to addressing the queens — he/she, him/her — our grammatical notions are all fucked-up.
And talk about all the beauty tricks — "Sweet baby Jesus in a Crock-Pot!" as one of the emcees likes to say.
We've learned that the best silicone boobs resemble chicken cutlets, that duct tape is the drag queen's enemy and toupée tape a girl's best friend. We've seen corsets in silver, thongs in gold and, perhaps best of all, learned that Cover Girl doesn't cover boy. (Wax it, sister.)
In a tenth-floor suite covered with sparkling booty, Unreal even meets Lucinda Holliday, a.k.a. Larry Moore, the Harry Winston to female impersonators.
Holliday's creations — all handcrafted in Austrian crystal — come in an array of shapes including stars and moons, leaves and dog bones, and go from $15 for a simple pair of earrings to $1,000 and up for a three-and-a-half-pound necklace. He custom-designed jewelry for the current queen, not to mention six other winners. He competed once back in the mid-1990s but prefers spectating these days. "I tend to be a little vulgar," he says. "They frown on that. But you know, it's very difficult not to say a good 'motherfucker!' every now and then."
This Unreal does indeed know. In fact, amid all this preening we have begun to notice everything that's awry in our own outward presentation: terrible posture, troubled skin, a foul mouth.
It seems like a good time to flee the mirrored rooms and refresh ourselves with the rules of engagement, all four pages of them.
Damn, that ol' Miss Missouri 1989 was right!
The bylaws cover everything from pyrotechnics (not allowed) to panty hose (essential) to rap sheets (no pending felonies, if you please). Miss Gay America herself must not arrive late for performances. She may never consume alcohol while wearing the crown. She must always drink with a straw so as not to sabotage her lipstick.
Tightening the disciplinary screws was the primary objective for Terry Eason and Larry Tyger when they bought the pageant five years ago. "There were a lot of unspoken rules when we inherited the organization," Eason explains. "For us it didn't seem fair to say, for example, 'You'll get an administrative deduction if you use liquid onstage,' if it's not in writing."
Eason, a banker who lives in Mississippi, entertains in nearby Memphis on occasion. His partner, an appliance salesman, can't be bothered. "Larry tried drag once. He said, 'Never again!' He complained the entire time. He kept saying, 'My feet hurt!'"
The couple has not yet had to revoke a crown for infractions, though they field plenty of anonymous e-mails alleging foul play. "I'm sure there's been someone on hormones and gotten away with it," Eason concedes. "Though, I always say, 'I'm just a piece of cheesecake away from having man breasts.'"
Unreal asks Eason to settle the he/she-him/her dilemma. Pray tell, what's proper? "We tell all the contestants: You need to know when to be a male and when to be a female. It is a psychological thing. We try to say 'he' all the time, even though we might call somebody by their female name."
The first time Unreal saw it, it took us by surprise. A former Miss G.A. had taken the stage for some mid-competition entertainment. She was doing a gospel number when less than a minute in, lines started forming at each side of the stage. Wow, thought Unreal. Are they going to be saved?
It was as if the pews had emptied for Communion. But wait — was that cash being pressed into the performer's hands?
The official prize for Miss Gay America is a purse of $7,500 and a trousseau overflowing with free gifts and services from pageant sponsors. But it turns out that the real money — upward of $70,000, $80,000, $90,000 — is made on the road, from those tithers at the sides of the stage.
"It's a sign of respect," explains Mark Coleman, a.k.a. Charity Case, a former St. Louisan who holds the titles of Miss Gay Missouri 1987 and Miss Gay America 2001 — and owns bragging rights as the only plus-size guy to win the national contest.
"When I did my final number as Miss Gay America, I made a lot of money."
A lot? Like...?
"Like almost $3,000. Twenty minutes' worth of money. Victoria will make a killing on her last night."
Speaking of Victoria Depaula, where is that lady? It's Friday night, and Unreal's been trying for three days to track down the queen. We finally corner her at her dressing table, with two fans blowing and a hairdresser trying to tease her brandy-colored mane in place. "When is Andy gonna be back with my boobs?" she's yelling to another handler.

More often than not, it's family genes that are keeping you out of those designer jeans. SlimLipo can slenderize, sculpt, and tone your butt in ways no treadmill can. Get ready to look as good walking out the door as you do walking in.
A gentle droop under your chin may come naturally with age, but that doesn't mean you have to wave the white flag. SlimLipo body contouring can eliminate extra fatty tissue around the chin and neck (a.k.a. the submental) with impressive results, and often with only a local anesthesia, in as little as an hour.
Let's face it. There isn't much to love about the stubborn fat that clings to the side of your abs and just won't let go. You've probably found it takes a mix of cardio, weight training and sit-ups to even begin to see results in this area. If you've had enough, SlimLipo laser body sculpting may be the answer for you.
For men, laser body sculpting can eliminate the pockets of fatty tissue (also known as gynecomastia) that have you self-consciously reaching for baggy clothes and keeping your shirt on when you hit the beach. SlimLipo removes excess chest fat to sculpt a leaner and meaner upper torso.
Who among us doesn't battle with their thighs? But no matter how many lunges you log, some fat just won't budge. SlimLipo slims those resistant trouble spots on your thighs by melting and removing the fat, giving you a leaner silhouette. Hello, skinny jeans.
Triceps are one tough target. Women especially suffer from hard-to-tone upper arms and often hide out under long sleeves. Now, SlimLipo can treat this problem spot with fantastic results. And you thought your tank top days were over.
SlimLipo - RecoveryGenerally, recovery time is very quick. Most patients experience little to no soreness and many even go to work the next day. A compression garment usually is worn on the treated area for a few days.
SlimLipo - During the procedureThere may be a slight pinching and minimal discomfort when local anesthesia is administered. Because the SlimLipo body sculpting system uses precision laser technology, there's little to no "ripping" and "tearing" like in traditional liposuction. Most patients feel nothing but mild warmth during the process.
SlimLipo - Getting startedYour first step is to schedule a consultation with a SlimLipo physician. During the consultation, be prepared to discuss your medical history and goals for the procedure. Your physician will tell you whether SlimLipo is right for you, what results you can expect, and how much your SlimLipo body contouring procedure will cost.
Why SlimLipo - Is it right for me.SlimLipo is for men and women with areas of unwanted fat they want to get rid of quickly — particularly challenging areas that don't respond to diet and exercise. Your SlimLipo physician will help you determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure but typically our patients are:
- In good physical health and regularly exercise
- Within about 25 pounds of their ideal weight
- Looking to target localized, stubborn fat deposits
SlimLipo may be the right body sculpting choice for you if you are looking for:
- A minimally-invasive treatment to remove excess fat build-up in a particular area of the body.
- A fat removal treatment that requires limited downtime.
- Permanent removal of the treated fat cells from specific areas of your body.
Please note that SlimLipo is not for anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding, obese, taking anti-coagulants or suffering with certain chronic conditions. Consult your physician for more information.
Why SlimLipo - How it worksThe state-of-the-art SlimLipo laser lipolysis system delivers a unique fat "melting" laser wavelength that gently liquefies fat for easier removal from the body through a medical suction device.
Unlike traditional liposuction, SlimLipo laser liposuction doesn't just remove unwanted fat. It also can reduce sagging, and create a smoothly contoured surface.
The SlimLipo Body Sculpting Laser is cleared by the United State of America Food and Drug Administration for laser-assisted lipolysis and coagulation of soft tissue.

Lovely set - for me v3 and then v4 as I like the skin tones in both
Nominating Constructive Critique
Firsrt four are excellent but I don't think you need a texture layer, they are strong enouygh to stand alone.

V2 is my favourite, Maureen, more subtle.
Of Vs 5, 6 and 7, V7 is my favourite, but the beauty of the parasol gets a bit lost.
Nominating Constructive Critique
Paree, Outstanding work!!!!!. I personally prefer V7, V2, V1.
V7 is more mysterious and give a 3 dimensional effect.

hello Ian,
thank you so much for the award,
and thanks for the preferences from people,
we obviously all think differently,
myself i prefer V2 and really meant to upload it as a first .
the title between two worlds,
is happy and sad so near and yet the parasol represents the barrier,
i didn't want to use the same face, but they are the same eyes.
i find it interesting to see how different the same eyes look in a different face.

Quote: V2 is especially nice, I like the more subtle tones. I think the overlays in the last three overpower the image.
I also like the idea, it is a perfect picture of a young lady trying to cross the bridge from child to adult.
well done Jolene for getting the image.
its the yin and yang thing again

Stunning work, each and every one of them! If I had to pick it would be V3.

MONDAY, Dec. 20 (HealthDay News) -- Adding to reports that breast-feeding boosts brain health, a new study finds that infants breast-fed for six months or longer, especially boys, do considerably better in school at age 10 compared to bottle-fed tots, according to a new study.
''Breast-feeding should be promoted for both boys and girls for its positive benefits," said study leader Wendy Oddy, a researcher at the Telethon Institute for Child Health Research in Perth, Australia.
For the study, published online Dec. 20 in Pediatrics, she and her colleagues looked at the academic scores at age 10 of more than a thousand children whose mothers had enrolled in an ongoing study in western Australia.
After adjusting for such factors as gender, family income, maternal factors and early stimulation at home, such as reading to children, they estimated the links between breast-feeding and educational outcomes.
Babies who were mainly breast-fed for six months or longer had higher academic scores on standardized tests than those breast-fed fewer than six months, she found.
But the outcome varied by gender, and the improvements were only significant from a statistical point of view for the boys. The boys had better scores in math, reading, spelling and writing if they were breast-fed six months or longer.
Girls breast-fed for six months or longer had a small but statistically insignificant benefit in reading scores.
The reason for the gender differences is unclear, but Oddy speculates that the protective role of breast milk on the brain and its later consequences for language development may have greater benefits for boys because they are more vulnerable during critical development periods.
Another possibility has to do with the positive effect of breastfeeding on the mother-child relationship, she said. "A number of studies found that boys are more

Automatic Spending Cuts Could Diminish Access To Student Loans
Pell Grants will be exempt, but other loans could take a hit.
WASHINGTON — Many a Republican member of Congress has lately compared the president's approach to the automatic spending cuts known as "sequestration" to a student writing a term paper or finishing a homework assignment: Waiting until the last minute to do it.
But because Congress and the president have not replaced the indiscriminate spending cuts with more targeted ones, students are actually among those who will likely take a hit — and loans for some college students could be in jeopardy.
On Wednesday, Arne Duncan, the Secretary of Education, made an appearance at a White House press briefing to warn against cuts to education, particularly to primary and secondary schools.
He's been trying to make the point for weeks.
"Education is the last place to be reducing our investment as the nation continues to climb out of the recent recession and to prepare all of its citizens to meet the challenges created by global economic competitiveness in the 21st century," Duncan told the Senate Appropriations Committee on Feb. 14. "Indeed, I can assure you that our economic competitors are increasing, not decreasing, their investments in education, and we can ill afford to fall behind as a consequence of the indiscriminate, across-the-board cuts that would be required by sequestration."
Primary and secondary schools wouldn't be the only ones affected, however: Federal loan programs for college students would also see major cuts.
Pell Grants would be exempt from the indiscriminate spending cuts. But funding for Federal Work-Study grants would be reduced by $49 million; Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, by $37 million, according to the Department of Education.
Jamie Hausman, a senior at the University of Missouri, has received six different loans during college, including a federal work study grant.
After her parents, both real estate agents, saw their business hit hard by the recession, Hausman received a Pell grant during he first two years of college. But even since then, it's been hard to predict what their commission-driven income would be.
"This is something that's always been on my mind because my parents have an inconsistent income," Hausman said of the potential cuts to student loan programs.
But that level of awareness is hardly typical.
"I don't think students in general are aware that loan programs could be affected by spending cuts unless they are the ones specifically paying for school," she added. "I also think the whole thing is unclear to students, and until it goes into effect, they won't see it as a problem."

Brewers face Angels after one Rockies bat beat them Friday
MARYVALE, Ariz. - The Milwaukee Brewers get a chance at some redemption Saturday when they take on the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in spring training action.
You can catch Bob Uecker and Joe Block's call of the action at 1:55 p.m. on Newsradio 620 WTMJ.
The bat of the Colorado Rockeis' Carlos Gonzalez was enough to outscore Milwaukee, as his three RBI's were enough by himself to defeat the Brewers 5-2.
Milwaukee used eight pitchers in the loss, giving manager Ron Roenicke and the Brewers' pitching coaches a chance to evaluate a lot of their talent.
Newcomer Tom Gorzelanny didn't allow a run in his inning.
Meanwhile, one of the Brewers is departing from the team on Sunday to participate in the World Baseball Classic.
Newsradio 620 WTMJ, TODAY'S TMJ4 and the Brewers "Extra Innings" app will keep track of your Brewers and how they're individually performing in the WBC.

That's Liquor!
Nick James
- Leaving Las Vegas directed by Mike Figgis
One of the many things that separate the movies of Hollywood's classic era from those of today is their indulgent attitude to alcohol and drunkenness. So many famous scenes from studio pictures made in the years between the coming of sound in 1929 and the mid-Fifties are chained in memory to the bar or the drinks cabinet that hard liquor and cigarettes seem integral to the medium, as essential as klieg lights and mascara. From Rick's bar in Casablanca, to Margot Channing's theatrical salon in All about Eve, to any Western saloon, booze is the magnifier for all that 30-foot-tall emoting.

Adaptive noise reduction method for DSPI fringes based on bi-dimensional ensemble empirical mode decomposition |
Optics Express, Vol. 19, Issue 19, pp. 18207-18215 (2011)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1275 KB)
Digital speckle pattern interferometry (DSPI) fringes contain low spatial information degraded with speckle noise and background intensity. The denoising technique proposed recently based on bi-dimensional empirical mode decomposition (BEMD) could implement noise reduction adaptively. However, the major drawback of BEMD, called mode mixing, has affected its practical application. With noise-assisted data analysis (NADA) method, bi-dimensional ensemble empirical mode decomposition (BEEMD) was proposed, which has solved the problem of mode mixing. The denoising approach based on BEEMD will be presented, compared with other classic denoising methods and evaluated both qualitatively and quantitatively using computer-simulated and experimental DSPI fringes.

LG confirmed the launch of its much anticipated next-generation flagship smartphone, the LG G3, at a special event on Tuesday, May 27.
As of the moment, LG only officially confirmed the LG G 3 will launch with 2K display and a special case. Other specs and features have not been officially revealed yet. However, recent reports that virtually spilled the specs and features of the LG G3 revealed the specs of the upcoming high-end Android device.
According to fresh reports from TmoNews and TechBlog the handset will sport a removable 3,000-mAh battery and microSD card slot, which are not featured in the LG G2. These two Web sites have provided the key details of the LG G3's specs and confirmed features that are must-haves for Android handset buyers.
TmoNews claims T-Mobile will have its own LG G3 flavour later this year based on an FFC document that revealed a T-Mobile-compatible version of the smartphone. The Web site further claims the smartphone's launch to be in mid to late June. Thus far, this information, as well as pricing details, of the LG G3 T-Mobile variant have not been confirmed yet.
Moreover, myLGphones reported the LG G3 model number is LG-D851 will work with T-Mobile's LTE and HSPA frequencies. Although there is no guarantee the smartphone is already on its way, it is the best hint or information available until the launch event of the LG G3 next week.
On the other hand, according to the famous leakster @evleaks, who has been accurate with his predictions and leaks in the past, provided a set of images detailing the particular features of the LG G3.
LG's Dutch Web site claimed the LG G3 will sport 5.5-inch Quad HD display, 2,560 x1,440 screen resolution and 538 ppi, 13-MP camera with OIS+ and laser autofocus, 2.1-MP front camera, 1-W speaker with boost amp, wireless charging, removable 3,000-mAh battery, microSD slot, QuickCircle case, Snapdragon 801 chip and 2 GB of RAM. Furthermore, the LG G3 is reported to launch with a new user interface that is easy to understand and attractive.

Says new comprehensive policy needed to take care of future requirements
Two months after taking charge as Minister for Communications and IT, Kapil Sibal on Saturday announced a 100-day plan for his Ministry that has been hit by allegations of a massive scam in the allocation of 2G spectrum.
Besides promising transparency in the high-growth telecom sector and formulation of a new telecom policy, Mr. Sibal also talked about making post offices a new channel for financial empowerment for rural India and tackling cyber crime with greater efficiency.
"Within the next 100 days, we will hold consultations with key stakeholders to evolve a clear and transparent telecom regime covering licensing, spectrum allocation, tariffs/pricing, flexibility within licences, spectrum sharing, spectrum trading and, merger and acquisitions. We need a new comprehensive policy to take care of our future requirements," Mr. Sibal told journalists here.
Taking a dig at his predecessor, A. Raja, who is alleged to have caused the national exchequer "presumptive loss" of over Rs.1.76-lakh crore in allocation of 2G spectrum, Mr. Sibal said: "Current issues in the telecom sector that everyone is today talking about are due to lack of transparency in the sector. We will address all pending issues related to policy, spectrum, licences and security in a very transparent manner to ensure that the growth of the sector is not affected in any way."
Underlining the need to replace the National Telecom Policy 1999 with a new comprehensive policy, Mr. Sibal said: "Three elements — reasonable revenue for government, affordable services to users and robust growth of the sector — would be kept in mind while framing the new policy. We need to balance all these three elements. The government should not get revenue at the cost of industry, while industry should not make super normal profits at the cost of consumers by keeping tariffs high."
Asserting that efforts would be made to include telecom under infrastructure sector and treat it as essential services, Mr. Sibal said: "We will try and make spectrum available to the industry after initiating a dialogue with the Department of Space, Ministries of Information and Broadcasting and Defence to get the spectrum vacated for civil use."
The Minister further said DoT would ensure speedy implementation of mobile number portability (MNP) that allows subscribers to retain their number while changing the service provider. DoT plans to provide MNP in the entire country by January 20. Similarly, on security-related issues regarding 3G services and BlackBerry, he said: "All issues will be resolved soon…steps will be taken to enable operators to launch services without delay." Similarly, security issues regarding telecom equipment procurement and subscriber verification will also be resolved. Steps will be taken to establish the Central Monitoring System which would facilitate and prevent misuse of lawful interception facility," he added.
Mr. Sibal also said the Department of Posts would collaborate with leading private sector banks — the IDBI, HSBC and ICICI Bank — to provide 'White Label Pre-paid Cards' to rural people to facilitate non-cash based transactions for purchase of products and services. Talking about plans for Department of IT, Mr. Sibal said the Ministry would frame and notify rules for data protection and liabilities of service providers under the Information Technology Act to enhance cyber security. "We will also bring out a draft consultation for policy on rolling out mobile governance and draft the Electronic Service Delivery Bill. As part of various e-governance initiatives, the government will focus on nationwide roll-out of e-district mission mode project and draft the Electronic Service Delivery Bill. A draft consultation document on policy for mobile governance will also be brought out," he added.
A pilot scheme for providing digital literacy to women, especially in rural areas, will also be introduced in the next 100 days. The Department of IT would also set up a National Electronic Mission, while efforts would be made to attract investment in semiconductor units and promote innovation and intellectual property rights.
A national facility for assessing quality of biometric devices for Unique Identification applications will be set up, apart from infrastructure at Kolkata, Bangalore and Hyderabad for testing of large area photovoltaic modules, Mr. Sibal added.

Blogs > Burney's Bytes
Burney's Bytes will focus primarily on the local preps sports scene, but will also touch on some college and pro athletics, mostly in regards to athletes who hail and have played high school sports in Oakland County. My goal for the blog is to be conversational and anecdotal, a more relaxed and free formal take on high school athletics than you see in regular game day coverage.

OC Top 10 Players
The local prep soccer pitch will be severely depleted this season – and for seasons to come for that matter – with the recent USSF ruling and dozens of the area's top high school players skipping prep play in favor of training with their academies.
So with that said, here's the best of the rest;
1 Miles Dale (Rochester) – This University of Cincinnati-commit is a terror in the open field and a closer extraordinaire around the net
2 Zac Doepke (Troy) – Playmaking midfielder, who is a master pace-setter and will be playing D1 soccer somewhere next year
3 (tie) Tommy Bowman (Birmingham Seaholm) – One of the state's most dangerous scoring threats
3 (tie) Nash Popovic (Rochester) – D1 recruit who will flank Dale up front for the Falcons, combining to give Rochester the top 1-2 offensive punch in the OC
4 Jimmy Hague (WL Western) – This Warriors goalie is the best player in the area that nobody knows about…..YET!!
5 (tie) Hunter Mejaly-Phillip Noessler (Birmingham Brother Rice) – With loads of their teammates gone for academy ball, this duo of Warrior vets have the necessary talent and leadership skills to keep TEAM Brodsky moving in the right direction
5 (tie) Brenton Desai-Zach Walker (Birmingham DCD) – Desai is a savvy midfielder headed to play college ball at the University of Chicago and Walker is a menace in between the pipes and one of the top goalkeepers in the state's Class of 2014
6 Don Nakashima (Novi) – Underrated finisher who has an affinity for the back of the net and will be a premiere recruit for the Class of 2014
7 Justin Anderson-Addison Wittry (Lake Orion) – Just really, really fundamentally sound and really, really GOOD!!
8 Matt Kiura (Novi) – Kiura is a KILLER on the pitch
9 Ben Richter (AH Avondale) – The OAA's best goalkeeper
10 Spencer Solys (Birmingham Roeper)– Best small-school player in the area, a threat to punch one in whenever he's near the box….coming off a year where he registered 30 goals and 18 assists.
Matt Habrowski (Brother Rice/Notre Dame), Russell Cicerone (Brother Rice/Western Michigan), Rob Cort (Brother Rice), Matt Smolinski (Troy), Oliver Harris (Birmingham DCD/Notre Dame), Matt Wilson (Novi/Oakland University)
