Comments about Endura Dexter Windproof Gloves:
I'm not into cycling in freezing conditions - I figure about 35 degrees F is my lower limit - so I went with these Endura Dexter windproof gloves for that 35-50 degree range when my Endura Mighty Mitt fingerless gloves don't provide enough resistance to the cold and wind. Endura makes great gloves, and these are very similar to the Mighty Mitt in construction and quality, with great gripper strips on the index and middle fingers and across the upper palm areas, plus their Gel Zone padding on the outside areas of the lower palm. You feel super secure gripping your handlebar and controls with these gloves, and that Gel Zone padding is awesome to prevent numbness from pressure. The index fingertip has an extra layer of wind protection on the forward side since that finger is usually out in the wind the most, while the three remaining fingers have ventilation, as does the thumb. They really thought about this - those areas that get the brunt of the wind are protected, while the other areas can breathe. Reflective accents on the outer two knuckles are a nice touch, and a comfy wristband with secure Velcro closure add to the overall quality. They're not insulated, but that lack of insulation makes them more flexible and dexterous, too. Great, well made and well fitting gloves for "cooler" weather!

Comments about Endura Dexter Windproof Gloves:
These gloves are good down to about 40 degrees. Any colder than that and your fingers will be cold. The windproof claim doesn't quite live up to its expectations but it does cut a fair amount. These would be great gloves for chilly fall/spring rides but for dead of winter, unless you live in coastal areas of Southern California or Florida, you'll probably want something a little warmer.
The padding is decent and they are comfortable once they get past their break-in stage.

Hello to All,
I have been wandering the net for a few years now in search of my intellectual home. Basically; looking for the world's most unequivocal and hard core group of atheists/rationalists. I've had a few hopeful initial contacts with various forums, and am still active on a couple of them, but in general I've found even the most ardent of my fellow antitheists to be uncomfortable with the idea of any straight and head-on intellectual confrontation with the theists. [With finally clearly demonstrating to them that their beliefs are false and should be abandoned]. Our pervasive understanding appears to be that (A) if the battle could possibly be won at this level then we would have done so hundreds – if not thousands – of years ago, and (B) that in any case nothing can now be 'proved' in any meaningful sense against the backdrop of our intellectually dominant post-structuralism/knowledge-relativism, and (C) that even if it could be, the theists would simply fall back on their ancient and widely accepted 'faith' escape clause. Our own faith in the insurmountability of these three problems seems to be strong enough to preclude even our serious consideration of any proposal that might claim to be able to circumvent or overcome them. I wish to offer exactly such a proposal. It can be found at http://www.poppersinversion.blogspot.com . I have, as implied, already been reworking if for the past few years in order to incorporate or address a lot of critical feedback. But the more I receive, the stronger I will be able to make it.
My thanks for your help in this, and best regards to all,
Keith Sewell

From the corner of South Washington and Marion streets, laughter and the buzz of conversation filtered up from the basement of Central United Methodist Church on Saturday morning.
A propped-open side door led down to a room, lit by florescent lights, where a line of people snaked around the four walls.
Each person held open a blue, canvas Walmart bag, ready to receive cans of sweet corn, boxed cake mixes, canned cranberries, a large ham and other items for a full Easter dinner.
Starting around 10 a.m. Saturday, dozens of volunteers from nine Methodist churches banded together to fulfill a simple mission: to feed
185 families in Cleveland County.
The event, dubbed District 12 food program, is named for the popular film "The Hunger Games," which had scenes filmed in Shelby.
Craig Langston, pastor of Central United Methodist, said the Methodist churches in the region recently went from having 15 to 8 districts, adding churches to each area.
"Each district is divided into smaller networks," Langston said. "Ours is called District 12."
The churches' motto, "We don't play games with hunger," is displayed on the basement wall.
'Know that God will provide'
Langston said 225 bags will be filled and any leftovers will go into boxes to be given away to others in need.
Jeanne Patterson, a volunteer with Aldersgate United Methodist, said she was in charge of contacting school social workers around the county.
The social workers then compiled a list of families who were in need of a meal.
She also helped plan travel routes.
Once the bags were filled, workers distributed them to the families on the list.
"It's been so much fun," Patterson said. "You start doing something like this and know that God will provide."
She said she enjoyed seeing all the churches working together for a common goal.
This is the first year for the project, but Langston said he hopes it will become a tradition.
"This is one of the integral goals of United Methodists in the area, to work more closely together," he said. "We can do so much more if we work collectively than individually."
Besides clergy, each church had several volunteers.
"I think it's gone very, very well for a group that is probably 75 or 80 people," Langston said.
Margaret VanDyke, a member of Hoey United Methodist, carried a full bag of items to her church's table, ready to be delivered.
"I know there's people who don't have food," she said. "This is just my way of helping a family."
She said she is on a limited income herself.
"I know what it is to go without," VanDyke said. "It makes me feel good to know what I can do."

Sustainability Management
Willamette students interested in Sustainability Management benefit from the program's overall philosophy that sustainability is an important part of the strategy of all organizations, the integrated curriculum, the activities of the Willamette University Center for Sustainable Communities, and from the leadership and networking opportunities available through our MBA student chapter of Net Impact.
The school's approach to sustainability, ethics and social responsibility resulted in our ranking as #23 in the world by the Aspen Institute's "Beyond Grey Pinstripes" survey, which recognizes MBA programs committed to ethics, environmental stewardship and social responsibility.
The goal of Sustainability Management is to create three types of change agents (leaders) who have the knowledge and skills to create processes that maximize the likelihood that both the organization and the wider system on which it depends thrive in the present and the future.
1) Internal Network and Community Builders: people with strong soft skills who can utilize these skills to help an organization or a system of organizations move towards a more sustainable architecture.
2) Project Builders: people who have a strong understanding of the technical requirements necessary for a project who can initiate and monitor the success of individual sustainability initiatives.
3) Leaders and Social Entrepreneurs: leaders who want to change their own organization to become more sustainable or start a new organization based on sustainability principles.
Students interested in Sustainability Management are encouraged to combine Sustainability with an additional MBA area of interest to ensure depth of knowledge in both sustainability and the specific function through which the student would like to lead as a change agent.
The structure of the sustainability area of interest includes five courses that are highly recommended for all students interested in sustainability. Beyond those courses, students are advised to select two or more additional elective courses based on the type of "change agent" they would like to become. Recommended courses are listed in the right column.
Elective courses in each area of interest are offered every year. It is possible that a specific course may not be offered in a given year and that previous courses will be replaced by new courses. Current and recent course schedules are available at http://www.willamette.edu/mba/for_students/full_time/course_schedules/index.html
Recommended Elective Courses
Students may select courses from the list and from other areas of interest to build a customized individual program that meets their specific goals.

Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - If there is a lull on the NFL calendar, you're in the eye of what is a perpetual Category 5 storm.
The NFL never really goes away but the five-week period between minicamps and training camp is generally dominated by off-the-field issues like Wednesday's revised settlement agreement in the league's ongoing concussion litigation with a host of former players, or the NFLPA's move to uphold the suspension of Elvis Dumervil's former agent, Martin Magid, for his part in the now infamous Denver fax fiasco.
The on-the-field stuff will start becoming much clearer in late July when the NFL's 32 teams hit the practice field in earnest.
With that in mind, this is a good time to look back at the offseason activities of each club and figure out the hurdles that stand in front of them as Week 1 of the NFL season grows ever closer.
First, we take a look at the NFC:
Dallas Cowboys: Jerry Jones is finally making some prudent personnel decisions in north Texas. The old Jones would have jumped at the chance to take the high-profile Johnny Manziel with the 16th overall pick in the draft. A more-tempered Jones took one of the safest picks in the process, Notre Dame offensive lineman Zack Martin. Two years ago the Cowboys had one of the worst offensive lines in football and now they have three potential stars on that unit, Martin, left tackle Tyron Smith and center Travis Frederick. The short- term outlook in the Lone Star State remains bleak, however. Quarterback Tony Romo is now 34 and coming off back surgery, while there is little talent on the defensive side of the ball, a fact exacerbated by the loss of perhaps the only difference maker on the unit, middle linebacker Sean Lee, who went down with a torn ACL during OTAs.
New York Giants: The offensive line was truly offensive for the Giants in 2013 and the root of all evil in north Jersey as Eli Manning produced more turnovers than your local bakery and Big Blue's running game put up the franchise's worst numbers since 1945. Underrated free agent guard Geoff Schwartz should help, but center Weston Richburg was a major reach in the second round of the draft. So, Manning and whomever plays running back, whether it be free agent pickup Rashad Jennings, holdovers Peyton Hillis, Michael Cox and David Wilson or rookie Andre Williams will be toiling behind one of pro football's worst blocking units again.
Philadelphia Eagles: Chip Kelly gave up on one of the game's best home-run hitters who was coming off a career year in DeSean Jackson because "Jaccpot" didn't "buy in." Hindsight will ultimately prove that to be incredible hubris on Kelly's part or provide further proof that the second-year head coach is indeed one of the great offensive minds of this generation. Jeremy Maclin, who is returning from a torn ACL, and the lengthy Riley Cooper will start at receiver for the Birds with rookie second-round pick Jordan Matthews hoping to mix in frequently. None possesses the pure, gamebreaking speed of Jackson, though, so the spacing Kelly craves figures to be a bit more difficult to create this time around.
Washington Redskins: It's all about which Robert Griffin III shows up inside the Beltway in 2014. If it's the healthy, rookie version of RG3 the Redskins should compete in a poor division even with serious question marks on the offensive line and throughout the defense. If it's the injury-hampered sophomore Griffin, Jay Gruden's first season as a head coach in D.C, will be a lot like Mike Shanahan's last.
Chicago Bears: General manager Phil Emery spent his offseason trying to upgrade a defense which collapsed in 2013, focusing largely on the front four. The Bears waived goodbye to veterans Julius Peppers, Henry Melton and Corey Wootton and used free agency to bolster the defensive end position, bringing in veteran pass-rushing star Jared Allen, along with Lamarr Houston and Willie Young. Emery then carpet-bombed defensive tackle in the draft with a pair of early selections, second-rounder Ego Ferguson and third-rounder Will Sutton. All of that strikes me as rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, though, and the back seven still has plenty of holes, particularly at safety. Much like last season Chicago will go only as far as its high-powered offense can take it.
Detroit Lions: The Lions took an NBA approach to upgrading their own high- octane offense. Detroit wanted to take some of the LeBron James-like load off of star receiver Calvin Johnson after Megatron suffered through an injury- plagued 2013 season. Former Seattle receiver Golden Tate will be Johnson's new running mate on the outside while athletic rookie tight end Eric Ebron has new head coach Jim Caldwell envisioning a Jimmy Graham-like impact in the middle of the field.
Green Bay Packers: You know the Packers will be able to move the ball as long as Aaron Rodgers is under center but the defense has been an issue for a few years now. Veteran defensive coordinator Dom Capers has looked like a coach behind the innovation curve in recent seasons but he'll get one more chance to prove the talent has been the issue in Titletown, not the scheme. Peppers was brought in to complement Clay Matthews on the edge and rookie safety Ha Ha Clenton-Dix should be a significant upgrade on the back end.
Minnesota Vikings: The Vikings will finally sport a 21st-century defense now that Mike Zimmer has taken over the head-coaching duties from Tampa-2 devotee Leslie Frazier. The real issue in Minneapolis, however, remains the game's most important position. The franchise was set back years by 2011 draft bust Christian Ponder. For now, veteran Matt Cassel is the placeholder for rookie first-round pick Teddy Bridgewater, an intriguing prospect who struggled in the pre-draft process but has drawn rave reviews from Minny offensive coordinator Norv Turner.
Atlanta Falcons: The Falcons, who are shifting to an attacking 3-4 defensive scheme under Mike Nolan, suffered a devastating offseason loss when their best linebacker, Sean Weatherspoon, went down with a ruptured Achilles tendon. His potential replacements, 2013 undrafted college free agent Joplo Bartu and nondescript veteran Tim Dobbins, are significant downgrades.
Carolina Panthers: If there is one team which seems destined to take a step back on paper, it's Carolina, which finished 12-4 in 2013. Cam Newton underwent left ankle surgery in March and wasn't ready for offseason work. Steve Smith, perhaps the best player in franchise history, is now in Baltimore, steady left tackle Jordan Gross called it a career and pass-rushing star Greg Hardy must deal with some significant legal issues. The depth chart at receiver for the Panthers is headlined by C-level free agent pickups Jerricho Cotchery and Jason Avant, along with rookie Kelvin Benjamin while converted right tackle Byron Bell is penciled in to replace Gross.
New Orleans Saints: Despite having little salary-cap room at the beginning of free agency the Saints were able to bring in a difference maker for the back end of their defense in former Buffalo safety Jairus Byrd. He, along with fellow safety Kenny Vaccaro and cornerback Keenan Lewis, gives New Orleans a host of upper-echelon players in the secondary, meaning defensive coordinator Rob Ryan gets exotic with the pass rush. The Saints do need to replace the production of departed scatback Darren Sproles but head coach Sean Payton is as inventive as it gets and rookie receiver Brandin Cooks should step in as NOLA's new "Where's Waldo" player.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: New Tampa Bay head coach Lovie Smith probably has a ceiling as far as success goes. Smith's stint in Chicago revealed he's not getting you to the Super Bowl but he is going to make you very competitive and do it rather quickly. That's why the Bucs are a sexy pick by many to be a playoff contender in 2014 especially if veteran free agent quarterback Josh McCown can take advantage of a similar set-up to what he had in Chicago with two very tall receivers (Vincent Jackson and Mike Evans).
Arizona Cardinals: The Cards were the best NFL team which didn't reach the postseason in 2013. The strength of the club was its defense, particularly the front seven, but that group took a major hit in the offseason when star inside linebacker Daryl Washington was lost to a year-long drug suspension. His absence was magnified by the fact his running mate, veteran Karlos Dansby jetted to Cleveland in free agency. Arizona defensive coordinator Todd Bowles will be looking at a host of players to replace his two stalwarts with 2013 second-round pick Kevin Minter and former Pittsburgh stalwart Larry Foote having the inside track.
St. Louis Rams: This is the make-or-break year for quarterback Sam Bradford, who will be returning from a torn ACL suffered in Week 7 of last season. The fact that Bradford and the Rams play in a division where three teams won 10- or-more games a year ago isn't going to help matters but Jeff Fisher's club figures to have one of the NFL's best fronts on defense and an offense with some pieces if the QB can hold his own water.
San Francisco 49ers: Three years, three NFC Championship Games and a Super Bowl appearance. The lone thing missing from Jim Harbaugh's resume as an NFL head coach is the Lombardi Trophy and that window may be closing on the Niners, because the organization finally had to earmark big money toward the quarterback position and Colin Kaepernick. That means difficult roster decisions are coming sooner rather than later and San Francisco's vaunted depth will eventually take a hit. For now NaVorro Bowman's gruesome leg injury in last season's NFC title game and Aldon's Smith's ongoing legal issues could be the 49ers biggest impediments in 2014.
Seattle Seahawks: Super Bowl hangovers are real and Pete Carroll and Co. will be searching for the aspirin on more than one occasion this year. The first headache has been Marshawn Lynch, who is wrangling for a new contract in an era where fewer and fewer running backs are getting big money.

The color, cut, and fit of this garment is beautiful. But the fabric pilled so badly during the first wash that I had to throw it away. The fabric shed on everything. Pants, jacket, seat belt, and car seat. I hope Chadwicks brings back this sweater in a different fabric.

TomTom and Google Maps Work Together to Send Business Info to TomTom Users
Dec 05 2007
TomTom and Google Maps Work Together to Send Business Info to TomTom Users
~ TomTom customers can now add business addresses more easily than ever ~
Amsterdam, 05 December 2007. Today, TomTom, the world's largest navigation solutions provider, announced it is teaming up with Google Maps so users can search for and send business addresses directly from the Google Maps' website to TomTom devices. This results in a richer and more personalised navigation experience.
"The ability to search, find and send information from the web to a TomTom is something we have been investing in for some time now. We are pleased to work together with Google Maps on this personalization functionality," says Eric Pité, Vice President Product Management at TomTom. "This cooperation represents a major step for TomTom in meeting the growing demands of our customers for personalised content for their TomTom devices."
How does it work?
Google Maps local search pages have expanded their 'Send to' feature with the option 'Send to GPS'. With just one mouse click TomTom users can instantly benefit from this service without needing to download complicated zip files.
Google Maps allows TomTom users to search for business addresses and transfer them from the Google Maps website to their TomTom device by clicking on the 'Send to GPS' button. The selected information is transferred to the TomTom device when the device is connected to the Internet via TomTom HOME, the free software application TomTom offers its customers. Drivers can then navigate to their new destination, as well as view the location on the map of the TomTom device or save it as a 'favorite' on the device for later use.
Giorgio Scherl, Product Manager at Google, adds: "We are delighted to be working with TomTom to offer this exciting new service to our users. We are constantly working to make our maps more useful so they become a one-stop-shop for finding all the local information and directions that people need." TomTom will continue to explore partnerships with third parties to further expand the personalisation options it offers its customers and to increase the ease of use of navigation.

ANAHEIM – The baby shower decorations still hung at Evelyn Morales' apartment Monday as she talked about the last time she saw her boyfriend's mother, one of three women struck and killed Saturday night in a crash that police believe involved a drunk driver.
Anaheim resident Carmen Mendoza, 56, along with her daughter Sheyla Mendoza, 21, and niece Stephanie Henriquez, 21, were walking to their car about 11 p.m. to head home after Morales' baby shower when they were struck and killed by a red Honda Civic, police said.
"They were good people, very sweet," Morales said.
Buena Park resident Anthony Lewis Sanchez, 40, whose occupation is listed as a truck driver, is under arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence and vehicular manslaughter after the women were hit in the 100 block of South Western Avenue, near Lincoln Avenue, Anaheim police Sgt. Bob Dunn said.
Dunn said that upon impact, two of the women were thrown through the Honda's windshield. The women were not in a marked crosswalk, he said.
Morales' boyfriend received a call about the fatal crash that night, and Morales went to see the aftermath. She recalls seeing a body covered in a white sheet.
The elder Mendoza and Henriquez died at the hospital, while Sheyla Mendoza died at the scene, Orange County coroner's officials said.
"We're trying to work with it," Morales added. "It's tough, especially with three losses."
Monday morning, several neighbors and friends stopped by the memorial site adorned with rows of candles, flowers, photos of Sheyla Mendoza with friends and a rosary. A green poster read: "REST IN PEACE MY SHEYLA."
Karla Martinez, 21, of Anaheim described Sheyla Mendoza as a "very friendly person" who played basketball at Western High School in Anaheim and attended Cypress College.
"She always talked to everyone," Martinez said. "People always saw us together."
Martinez said she and Sheyla Mendoza were inseparable.
"We were always laughing," Martinez said.
As neighbors lit candles, they spoke of speeding issues on that street and recalled the traumatizing scene.
The crash happened in the middle of the street, surrounded by apartments, a coin laundry and single-family homes.

DEEP RUN — If Wednesday's meeting between North Lenoir and South Lenoir was a measuring stick for the rest of the season, then the teams are heading in opposite directions.
The Blue Devils are the ones who are starting to straighten things out.
South Lenoir managed only two hits but capitalized on the little things, including a game-ending sacrifice fly from Garrett Holland, as it rallied from three runs down to beat the Hawks 4-3 in Deep Run.
The run was the last of four unanswered by the Blue Devils (3-3), who trailed 3-0 heading into the home-half of the fifth inning before rallying for their second straight win.
"We're starting to get it together and come together as a group," first-year South Lenoir coach David Combs said. "We're playing hard, and that's the biggest thing."
The Blue Devils went to bat in the seventh tied at 3, and got the winning run on base when Will Graves drew a one-out walk off starter Tyler Smith, forcing him from the game.
Graves broke for second with the ball still in reliever Sammy West's hand, and West stepped off then threw to second baseman Justin Shimer, who appeared to have tagged Graves but the base umpire ruled the senior safe.
With junior Grant Tyndall in a 1-0 count, North Lenoir elected to put him on to set up a potential double play, but the call backfired when West walked Noah Stroud to load the bases following an eight-pitch at-bat.
Holland, who in relief retired the side in order in the top of the frame with the go-ahead run at second, laced the first pitch he saw to left field where Dylan Puchalski made the out. But Graves' speed was too much and the throw was off line, giving the Blue Devils the come-from-behind win and sending the Hawks (1-5) to their fifth straight loss.
"We put a little pressure on them on the bases, and good things just happened," Combs said.
Puchalski went 3-for-3 with two doubles and two RBIs, and Seth Beard had two hits to lead an offense that had plenty of chances but left them on the infield.
North Lenoir stranded 11, including leaving the bases loaded in the fourth and fifth innings.
The Hawks were the benefactor of a wild pitch by Graves in the first for the game's first run, then Puchalski plated a pair in the third with a rocket that hit the fence in right-center for a 3-0 lead. They had 10 more reach base after Puchalski's double, but none got farther than third.
The lack of timely hitting spilled over to its defense, where North Lenoir gave the Blue Devils a run in the fifth on an errant pickoff throw to second by Smith.
Two more scored in the sixth after a leadoff error allowed Holland to reach second. Wade Wetherington followed with a fielder's choice, but Holland was called safe at second when Daron Gray tried to run him down and apply the tag.
A sacrifice bunt by Brett Davis advanced the runners, then Holland scored on a sacrifice fly to right by Cody Ladich. The game was tied when Wetherington scored on a wild pitch by Smith.
The mishaps have been a common theme for the Hawks this season.
"When you sit there and do things in practice and work, and tell them what they're doing wrong, and now this is six games and they're still making the same mistakes, there's no effort to making yourself better," a visibly unhappy North Lenoir coach Jim Montague said.
"This team is struggling to listen — you can say they're struggling with the little things — but they've got a listening problem."
Stroud and Tyndall had the only hits for South Lenoir, neither of which did any damage. Smith gave up four runs, one earned, and fanned six in the loss.

It's been twelve years since the Blast Fall, an unexplained disaster that left countless dead and many more maimed. Society is divided and every citizen feels the burn, most of all the Resembles - people whose mangled bodies have been rebuilt with high-tech prosthetic devices.
Bounty hunter Roy Revant had seen it all walking alone in this shattered city. That is, until the day a strange little girl named Solty fell from the sky straight into his heart. The search for family turns into a search for meaning and those that wield harsh power over society won't go unnamed for long. Roy and Solty may seek different things... but who wants to search for truth alone?

Customer Raves & Reviews
I was very satisfied with the quality of the menu cards. They also shipped very fast!!! I also ordered my savethedate magnets here, and was very satisfied as well. The price and quality were just right, and the program was very user friendly so I could personalize the font, text, and colors to my wedding.
Elegant Menu Cards
The menus turned out better than I expected. MagnetStreet was wonderful with our save the dates and menu cards.
Good Product!
I personalized these and made them my colors. They were a nice touch at the table!
Classic and Formal - absolutely love it!
We chose this card for our dinner menu, but altered the border/text color to navy to fit our color scheme. The card looks very formal and classic - I love it! The white portion of the card does have a bit of a texture (which I did not expect), but it actually makes the card look even better. Not only does it look fabulous, but the order/customization process was easy (and quick). I highly recommend this card and Magnet Street!
Professional printing at a great price
I picked Magnet Street for our wedding menus because their website allowed a greater degree of personalization and allowed us to see online previews. The product was also affordable, arrived promptly, and looks very nice. The colors are accurate, the ink is clear, and everything is aligned as it was on my screen. The paper has a linen texture - I'm OK with this, but my parents would have preferred a satin or glossy finish. I'm very happy with the result and would shop here again. (P.S. Got my save-the-date magnets here too!)


text: Comment: These are really nice. I agree with a previous review that they are a bit long in the rise, but nothing that can't be dealt with. I love that they're PVC lined and cuffed at the bottom. The pocket is handy too. Caution: Believe what the sizing chart says. I'm a size 8 woman and have never taken an XS in my life. I couldn't believe that I actually needed one this time. I ordered a small. They're a bit too big! Nothing I can't work around, but if I had to do it over I'd get the XS.

Marta Walraven (Radha Mitchell) won't have to worry about working for the mob for a second season. Red Widow has been cancelled by ABC after one season and eight episodes.
Red Widow follows a San Francisco housewife and mother who finds herself forced to continue her late husband's work in organized crime for the sake of her family. The series' cast includes Radha Mitchell, Clifton Collins Jr., Luke Goss, Sterling Beaumon, Suleka Mathew, Erin Moriarty, Jaime Ray Newman, Jakob Salvati, Lee Tergesen, Wil Traval, Rade Serbedzija, and Goran Visnjic.
The show's ratings were unfortunately very low right from the start — debuting to a 1.5 demo rating in the 18-49 demographic with 7.13 million total viewers.
The numbers got worse for later episodes and Red Widow fell as low as a 0.7 rating and 3.47 million viewers — much too low to warrant a renewal.
What do you think? Are you sorry that the show has been cancelled? Why do you think it didn't catch on with a bigger audience?

World Cup-winning All Blacks assistant coach Wayne Smith says he didn't apply for the England job.
Applications for the England head coach post closed on Thursday morning, and Smith confirmed that he didn't send in his CV. The appointment will be made after the Six Nations in June. Interim coach Stuart Lancaster takes care of the team in the meanwhile.
Smith explained that the timing of the job was the reason he decided not apply. He is currently the assistant coach at the Chiefs for the next two years. If the appointment was made after Super Rugby, it would've allowed Smith to end his tenure at the Chiefs a year early.
'I understand they want to fill the position for the tour of South Africa in June. That timing doesn't fit in with me so I haven't put an application in. I said I have a moral obligation to fulfill my time here with the Chiefs,' said Smith, who added that he's still interested in a return to coaching Test rugby in the near future.
Reports from England suggested that Smith and former Italy and Springbok coach Nick Mallett were favourites for the job. The coach post is now a likely two-horse race between Mallett and Lancaster.

Fitness At Any Age
Energize Your Life! Who said physical activity is all work and no play? In fact, it can be just the opposite! There is no need to think of strenuous workouts that are painful and boring. Instead, imagine doing fun physical activities you enjoy and look forward to. Do physical activity for enjoyment and watch the health benefits follow!
The importance of physical activity
The evidence is growing and is more convincing than ever! People of all ages who are generally inactive can improve their health and well-being by becoming active at a moderate-intensity on a regular basis.
Regular physical activity substantially reduces the risk of dying of coronary heart disease, the nation's leading cause of death, and decreases the risk for stroke, colon cancer, diabetes, and high blood pressure. It also helps to control weight; contributes to healthy bones, muscles, and joints; reduces falls among older adults; helps to relieve the pain of arthritis; reduces symptoms of anxiety and depression; and is associated with fewer hospitalizations, physician visits, and medications. Moreover, physical activity need not be strenuous to be beneficial; people of all ages benefit from participating in regular, moderate-intensity physical activity, such as 30 minutes of brisk walking five or more times a week.
Despite the proven benefits of physical activity, more than 50% of American adults do not get enough physical activity to provide health benefits. 25% of adults are not active at all in their leisure time. Activity decreases with age and is less common among women than men and among those with lower income and less education.
Insufficient physical activity is not limited to adults. More than a third of young people in grades 9-12 do not regularly engage in vigorous-intensity physical activity.
This section explains why you should be active, how inactivity may hurt your health, and how physical activity can benefit everyone.

If you want to run in a general election as a Libertarian, then that's what you should run as. It's just that simple. And if the majority of voters don't want to vote Libertarian, you should have respect for that.
If the Libertarians want to get somewhere, they need to realize that Rand Paul is a flipping nut job. Seriously, Libertarian candidates repeatedly make fairly outrageous statements which frighten most Americans, such as calling for the elimination of the IRS. I thought that Rand Paul's attacks on Hilary Clinton were a joke - I mean, you compare the eight years of George W. Bush foreign policy nightmares to the four years of Obama's successes, and then demand that the Secretary of State should be fired because she didn't read every message from all the embassies... it's absurd.
Tomorrow morning, when I wake up, I want to get my kids dressed, send them off to school, and drive to work. I can do that whether a Republican or Democrat runs the government. But if a Libertarian runs the government, and the guy keeps shooting off his mouth about eliminating public education and public roads, then I don't know if I can send my kids off to school or drive to work. I don't view the Libertarian Party as being grounded in any sort of reality, despite the many good ideas and valid points they may have. Until these guys can plant their feet on the ground, their candidates aren't going anywhere.
It is what it is. No sense pretending it's not dishonest. You just happen to think the dishonesty is worthwhile.
I'm just always a little disappointed that people are willing to resort to dishonesty if it helps achieve the results they prefer, when most people will also say that this is not a behavior they want in their representatives. Another way we get the representatives we deserve.
TIP: To avoid the stigma of literacy, listen to audio books.
To me it seems obvious that the correct path here is to persuade and convince people that one candidate, party, philosophy or course of action is preferable to others. Rather than encouraging people to sabotage the party-making efforts of other people in their communities, I'd encourage them to register as independents. It would seem to me that the point of democracy is to make the argument on merit, rather than farking up competing people in the hopes that one's idea will "win" by forfeit. The latter is the source of all we bemoan about our political system, from dishonest politicians to unsubstantiated smear campaigns. A healthy democracy starts with an earnest population. If we "the people" want something better than we have, it should start with the people.
Frankly, I'm unsure how anyone can claim that the dishonesty of the action is even in dispute. It is, quite plainly, dishonest to claim to be or believe one thing, while being or believing another. If that is really in dispute, I don't suppose there is much to debate.
So how can even a left leaning Republican, say someone who would honestly do a good job representing San Fransisco, have a chance to win a congressional seat vs a Democrat no mater how bad in that city? I'm sure there are plenty of places where the reverse is also true. So long as the name maters like it does this sort of thing will happen. If it's going to happen then there is no reason why a voters shouldn't be able to make their votes count by voting in the primary that maters.
You get your vote; just on the losing side.
Apparently you don't know what the word means.
Pretending to "join" a party to get into and mess with the closed primary of one's ideological competitors is plainly dishonest. I mean, the entire act is facilitated by claiming to be something you are not.
The virtue of a democratic society is the contest of ideas. For anyone who truly believes in this model, the answer to your question should never be to sabotage the other standard bearers.
Make the argument and convince your peers, rather than trying to fark up the "other guy's" primary. If you can't convince your peers, kindly refrain from derailing their voting process. Build a faster car rather than putting sugar in your opponent's gas tank.
Contrary to the popular aphorism, cheaters, as individuals, do sometimes win. When that happens, it's the rest of us that suffer the loss. We're left with a system we can't respect. It's one of those situations in which a person has to decide whether to be part of the solution or part of the problem.
Original Poster
There is nothing dishonest about it at all. We want to scare and threaten the incumbent into not supporting gun control bills. If the "other" Democrat candidate in the district has better views on gun laws, short of voting a Conservative into office who will follow the Constitution which will never happen, then I want the lesser of 2 evils in office. We will even lobby the other candidate to go on record thinking the way we do on gunlaws if we give them our support.
As a Conservative, I have NO voice right now. As a Democrat voting in the primary, I do.
And of course I will vote Conservative in the general election as I always do. There is always a chance that can effect the Democratic candidate enough to nominate someone unelectable, then that is a huge win for Conservatives.
E finita la cuccagna

|Ernest Amankwah, Ph.D. Joins All Children's to Study Disease Mysteries
Like any parent of young children, Dr. Ernest Amankwah has occasionally been asked by his three kids what he does for a living. And he's discovered an easy way to describe a most complex line of work.
"I tell them that I'm a disease detective," he says with a smile. "I try to understand causes of diseases by finding out which people the diseases are affecting, when they affect people, and how we can use that knowledge to prevent the disease from reoccurring."
His real title - Epidemiologist/Biostatistician - may not pack quite the same pizzazz. But like a true detective, he has been playing a vital, behind-the-scenes role since joining All Children's Hospital Johns Hopkins Medicine in April as a member of the hospital's newly created Clinical and Translational Research Organization (CTRO), led by Director of Research Neil Goldenberg, M.D., Ph.D.
The native of Ghana, who earned his doctorate in epidemiology at the University of Calgary, has made a distinguished career out of studying the distribution and determinants of disease and its outcomes through biomarkers -and how to use that knowledge to prevent and treat diseases.
And now - after honing his skills in Canada and at the Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa - Dr. Amankwah is helping design important new studies by All Children's physicians to ensure the projects will yield meaningful and constructive results.
His training and body of work are a perfect fit for the mission All Children's Hospital Johns Hopkins Medicine has undertaken in the new world of population health and personalized, preventative medicine.
"I've always been fascinated with medicine and how we could prevent and treat diseases, so at an early age I was really curious about how people did this," he said on a recent morning at the All Children's research department. "That was my motivation for getting into this field."
Though his dream of attending medical school didn't materialize in Ghana, he was determined to follow his passion in another way. His path to St. Petersburg unfolded with a series of key steps along the way.
First came an undergraduate degree at Ghana's University of Science and Technology, where he conducted a project on factors that influenced the age children reached puberty in his country. He stayed on after graduating to do research on children suffering from parasite infection, working to understand the origin of the problem, its prevalence and intensity.
Next came B.S. and M.S. degrees in bio-technology and molecular biology, respectively, at the University of Bergen in Norway, and then a move to Western Canada, where he did research in molecular biology labs prior to earning his Ph.D in epidemiology in 2007. His doctoral work allowed him to delve into the field that combines molecular biology and epidemiology: molecular epidemiology.
"It gives you a new basis of understanding because now you're able to use biomarkers when you are doing epidemiology," he explains. "In traditional epidemiology, what we do is ask people for risk factors. If I want to look at how smoking causes cancer, what I would do is ask people, 'Do you smoke?' How many cigarettes do you smoke?' But if you are able to find a biomarker, for example, in the urine of a person, that can be a better way to obtain the answers you are looking for."
The reason is that people don't always remember with accuracy the events in their life, or a bias could exist in how they report the information. "But if you're able to use a biological marker, then you don't have to ask how long have you been smoking," he says. "That one marker can tell you the status."
Dr. Amankwah continued to build on his foundation by working at Health Canada - the country's national health agency - to look at an array of diseases, including heart disease and diabetes. Through a partnership established with Alberta Health and Wellness, he gained access to a comprehensive administrative data base of health records for all Alberta residents.
"It was really nice to use their database to look at different health conditions," he says. "Mostly, we looked at diabetes and injury. And I also provided expert epidemiological support to community medicine specialists at Health Canada. I worked with them to design studies to help answer key clinical questions."
But if you're able to use a biological marker, then you don't have to ask how long have you been smoking," Amankwah says. "That one marker can tell you the status."
His work on that front was so good, in fact, that he was honored with a gold medal award for excellence in government service delivery for his team at Health Canada in 2008.
After 13 years north of the border, Dr. Amankwah took a job first at Moffitt in 2011 studying the association between genetic variants for cancer risk and outcomes. He learned about the position at All Children's on the Internet and soon had conversations with a summer lab student he was mentoring - the daughter of Gregory Hale, M.D., Medical Director of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology and Bone Marrow Transplant at All Children's.
That opened the door. A phone call ensued with Dr. Goldenberg, who described the academic and research work being done at All Children's - and Dr. Amankwah immediately liked what he heard. Face-to-face interviews followed and he was eventually hired from a talented, national pool of applicants. The selection was no surprise, given his impressive resume - highlighted by numerous prestigious awards for his previous work and some two-dozen articles published in peer reviewed journals.
"I've been working with community medicine specialists and MDs in the past," he says, "so that is the kind of skill set that I bring here - working with clinicians and helping them design studies."
In that capacity, he is currently helping Raquel Hernandez, M.D., M.P.H. to examine growth and obesity in school-age children, and assisting Sheila Devanesan, M.D. on an ACH Foundation-funded study about how interventions can reduce weight gain during pregnancy.
Not surprisingly, Dr. Amankwah's arrival has been hailed as an important addition to the research mission - especially by Dr. Goldenberg.
"Ernest has a pretty critical position that fits into the larger issue of how we've reorganized and developed research infrastructure," Dr. Goldenberg says. "We now have what we call a Clinical and Translational Research Organization, and it's comprised of seven different cores, which are based on different kinds of expertise and resources that you need to successfully design and conduct research. Ernest's core is in Research Design and Analysis."
That means that at the conception of a research study, Dr. Amankwah is at the table with ACH clinician researchers and other team members to help formulate the study design.
"He does it with an eye for what we are going to be doing on the analysis side, in terms of statistical testing, that influences the way we should set up the actual design," Dr. Goldenberg adds. "He helps to think about what the variables are that we'll need to look at, which is also critically informed by the clinical experts. But the way we structure those variables and the way you ask the question - a way that it will be testable statistically - is where his expertise really comes into play."
Second, Dr. Amankwah plays a part in determining how big the study needs to be and how long it needs to run in order to answer questions with validity. His input influences how many patients need to be enrolled in a study and followed before it's appropriate to analyze the results.
"The third piece he adds is actually developing the statistical analysis plan for the research, which is important to have up front," Dr. Goldenberg explains. "As you get more advanced in doing research as an organization, and this is something we'll be doing more and more often, you really develop those plans at the beginning. So it's very transparent that you didn't let the results influence the way you were going to ask questions. You came with a very unbiased approach - and it makes it very rigorous in the way you're conducting the research."
When all the results have come in, the target sample size has been reached and the patients have been followed to final assessment, Dr. Amankwah executes his statistical analysis plan using biostatistical software and the appropriate tests.
"That's really critical when you go to write up the results for publication," Dr. Goldenberg said. "And Ernest also has experience in writing that part of the method section you need in a scientific paper, as well as helping to organize the results through data tables, etc. So this is really a key position in a research organization, led by an epidemiologist or biostatistician. And he has both of those skill sets."
On top of all of that, Dr. Amankwah is also connected informally with a group of epidemiologists and biostatisticians at Johns Hopkins ACH president at the Center for Child and Community Health Research on the Bayview Campus, which was led by Jonathan Ellen, M.D., prior to his becoming president of All Children's. He's part of the CCHR's BEAD Core, aligned with its biostatistics, epidemiology and data management professionals, providing an important tie to similar work being done in Baltimore.
In addition, he plays a mentor/collaborator role for ACH researchers, many of whom are researchers in the Designing Clinical Research (DCR) program. Every 18 months, 12 different ACH researchers apply and are selected to have a mentored research experience to help them develop study ideas and carry them out to completion.
"Ernest is going to be a critical member of the DCR program, because he's going to help provide the continuity here," Dr. Goldenberg notes. "He's ACH-based, as I am, while most of the other mentors from the program are in Baltimore. This also helps to provide the right ingredients for cross-fertilization between the campuses."
While the subject matter he deals with is complicated and high-minded, Dr. Amankwah comes across as easy-going and low-key, with a friendly laugh that punctuates conversations. His father worked in Ghana as an electrician while his mother, who traded small goods, usually stayed home with the eight children. His oldest sister became a registered nurse, while his other siblings went into business in the U.S. and Ghana.
He's become an avid fan of the Tampa Bay Lightning, due to his years watching hockey in Canada. And he's gradually learning about the Rays and Bucs. "My boys are helping me with that," he says.
He played soccer through college, a midfielder with good ball-control skills. And he still enjoys heading to the park with his kids (15, 12 and 7) to kick the ball around. After all, he deserves a little time to unwind from a demanding job as a disease detective.

The history curriculum covers the globe. Most courses focus on particular regions or nations, but offerings also include courses that transcend geographical boundaries to examine subjects such as African diasporas, Islamic radicalism, or European influences on US intellectual history. Some courses are surveys—of colonial Latin America, for example, or Europe since World War II. Others zero in on more specific topics, such as medieval Christianity, the Cuban revolution, urban poverty and public policy in the United States, or feminist movements and theories. While history seminars center on reading and discussion, many also train students in aspects of the historian's craft, including archival research, historiographic analysis, and oral history.

Jon Gosselin's threats to have the production of Kate Plus 8 halted will fall on deaf ears, Kate Gosselin's attorney, Mark Momjian, said on the Today Show Friday.
"These parties entered into an agreement once the divorce action was filed that allowed each parent — who had physical custody of the children — to make the filming decisions when the children were with them," Momjian said.
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Michael Lohan Says TLC Exploiting Jon Gosselin
Momjian said that when the kids are in Kate's custody, she gets to make the decisions involving the eight children.
The attorney said that Jon is at fault for the couple's lack of communication regarding the latest developments.

Momjian said the 34-year-old reality TV mom "really does want to engage Jon, it's just that he's not engaging her back. And that's really regrettable in any custody case.
"She doesn't know which Jon is going to show up — he's obviously different people at different times," the attorney said.
Lawyer: Jon Ready To Sue Network; Show Never Had Required Permits To Film Kids
Momjian said Kate plans on fulfilling her obligations whereas the hit TLC program is concerned.

Just taking a breather here and thought I'd share some thoughts as I looked at my crazy Inbox this weekend. I switched to Gmail last year and things just keep moving down as they come in, until they turn the corner and head into the 'older' page (ie: Siberia). Where they get forgotten. So yesterday, I deleted a few messages. As in, a few hundred messages. I don't even recall what many of them were about, or why I was saving them, but invariably a few likely got tossed that I probably should have answered. Drat.
There's a concept I've been hearing about called declaring "bankruptcy". It's not about the global financial meltdown, but it's about preventing another kind of meltdown by simply starting back again from zero, a blank slate. It's an interesting idea and it's nice to do a bit of spring cleaning now and then, even though spring is a few months away, unfortunately. (Although it did give me an excuse to buy a killer-stylin' new overcoat for winter last Wednesday.)

Why Get Tested?
To detect iron deficiency anemia and distinguish it from anemia caused by chronic illness or inflammation
When to Get Tested?
When iron deficiency anemia is suspected
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Soluble transferrin receptors are proteins found in blood that can be elevated with iron-deficiency. This test measures the amount of soluble transferrin receptors to help detect and evaluate iron deficiency and aid in the diagnosis of iron-deficiency anemia.
Iron is an essential nutrient absorbed from the diet. Transferrin is the main protein in the blood that binds to iron and carries it to tissues and cells throughout the body. About 80% of iron is transported to the bone marrow, where it is incorporated into the hemoglobin in red blood cells (RBCs), and the rest is stored in other cells and tissues as ferritin and hemosiderin.
When transferrin binds to iron, they form a complex. These complexes bind to transferrin receptors found on the surface of cells and the iron is then transported into the cells. Transferrin receptors are cleaved from the surface of cells, enter the bloodstream, and become soluble transferrin receptors (sTfR).
The number of transferrin receptors found on the surface of cells correlates with the level of iron within cells. When the iron level drops, the cells produce more transferrin receptors. As more receptors are produced, more are cleaved from cell surfaces and enter the blood, increasing the level of soluble transferrin receptors. Thus, measuring the level of sTfR is one way of evaluating the amount of iron available in the body.
Red blood cells have a lifespan of about 120 days. Because of this, the bone marrow must continually produce new RBCs. If there is insufficient iron taken in through the diet and/or increased iron loss (e.g., bleeding), iron reserve stored in the body is decreased. Over time, this can lead to iron deficiency, as the amount of iron stored in the body exhausts and the demand for iron exceeds the supply. As a result, fewer RBCs are produced and those newly formed RBCs are also smaller (microcytic) and contain less hemoglobin (hypochromic). This is a condition called iron deficiency anemia.
Usually, a ferritin test is used to evaluate the amount of iron reserve in the body and to help diagnose iron-deficiency anemia. However, the ferritin level can be elevated when an individual has inflammation or a chronic disease, such as autoimmune disorders or some cancers. In these conditions, the ferritin test is not useful and a test for soluble transferrin receptors may be ordered.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.
