You can use vinegar straight out of the bottle to wipe down the surfaces of your fridge, cabinets, shelves, sinks, glass, china, crystal, countertops, and painted surfaces. You can also use a vinegar-soaked rag to remove scaling and mineral buildup around shower fixtures or other faucets simply by wrapping the rag around the problem area for a few hours to loosen the grime for easy scrubbing. Unlike many chemical cleaners, you do not have to rinse the area after application.

Final Score: Oklahoma State 31, Iowa State 10
Stillwater, OK (Sports Network) - Mike Gundy became the winningest coach in
Oklahoma State history as the Cowboys rolled to a 31-10 win over the Iowa
State Cyclones in Big 12 play at Boone Pickens Stadium.
The victory was the 63rd for Gundy at OSU, as he moved past Pat Jones to
become the school's career leader.
Joseph Randle ran for 151 yards and two touchdowns for the Cowboys (4-2, 2-1
Big 12), while J.W. Walsh threw for 415 yards and a touchdown in the victory.
Josh Stewart finished with 13 catches for 89 yards, and Charlie Moore caught
eight passes for 129 yards and a score.
For the Cyclones (4-3, 1-3), Jared Barnett threw for 206 yards with one
touchdown and one interception. He also led the team on the ground with 49
rushing yards.
Iowa State drove 75 yards on nine plays during its opening possession, as
Barnett found Jeff Woody for a two-yard touchdown pass to cap the drive.
OSU tied the score midway through the first quarter on a four-yard TD scamper
by Randle.
The Cyclones closed out the first-quarter scoring with a 41-yard field goal
from Edwin Arceo at the 3:17 mark.
The Cowboys answered with a 20-yard field goal from Quinn Sharp to knot the
score at 10 apiece with 14:28 to play in the second quarter. On the first play
of their next possession, Walsh hit Charlie Moore for a 74-yard touchdown
strike to make it a 17-10 game.
The score would remain that way until the 9:32 mark of the third quarter, when
Randle scored his second TD of the day on a 12-yard run. The Cowboys pushed
their lead to 31-10 on a three-yard touchdown run by Walsh with 10:09 to play
in regulation.
Oklahoma State held a commanding 625-341 edge in total offense, as the Cowboys

BRISTOL, TN – The Pfeiffer University men's golf team competed in the two-day King University Invitational at the Bristol Country Club on Monday and Tuesday and came away with an eighth-place finish. The Falcons were led by Nathan Bull, who finished eighth out of 48 golfers.
Bull shot a 71 on the first day, and followed that up with a round of 73 on day two of competition to place in the top 10 overall. Zach Weaver posted the second best score for the Falcons after he shaved eight strokes off his opening round total. Weaver's second round 71 was tied with Bull for the best score in the tournament for Pfeiffer.
A.T. Cashwell and David Weinberger finished with scores of 154 and 157 respectively for the Falcons, who finished with a team score of 604.
Erskine won the event with a score of 567, followed by Mars Hill and Limestone. Barton and the host King University rounded out the top five.

Our Geekcorps subsidiary has built an enviable reputation as a nimble and creative resource in the design and implemen- tation of innovative technology programs in remote corners of the world. Our programs range from sophisticated multi- dimensional cross-cutting ICT installations to makeshift FM antennas cobbled out of soft drink bottles. Over the years, Geekcorps accomplishments have been featured in many trade and general media. Our Geekcorps volunteers and consultants not only address the needs of the ICT sector itself, but they also build ICT capacity across a spectrum of general business sectors, public and private.
In Mali, Geekcorps has built or refurbished 17 radio stations on the edges of the Saharan desert. These stations contribute directly to U.S. counter-terrorism objectives by ensuring that local communities have an independent source of information beyond local tribal leaders and nearby terrorist cells, and they convey information about the democratic process. They also contribute to social development with programming that can impact health, sanitation, and education. The bonus is that the stations collectively act as one community center. Some of the stations provide a neutral meeting place for the community, as well as useful services, like internet access and the ability to register and print identification cards — essential to encouraging participation in the democratic process. Always central to Geekcorps' mission is sustainability. That's happened in Mali as our teams have used simple, appropriate technologies and trained local team members to take on the roles of managers, technicians and broadcast reporters.

It's hot out there! And if your Golden Retriever or long-haired kitty seems to suffer when the mercury rises, you might feel some temptation to break out your grooming tools and give your pets a full shave-down. We get where you're coming from.
But wait! Put down those clippers! According to experts, you'll be doing your pet a disservice. Here's why:
- While you or I would hate to sport a fur coat in 100-degree weather, your pets' fur coats are actually providing them with heat relief.
"A dog's coat is kind of like insulation for your house," explains Dr. Louise Murray, Senior Vice President of the ASPCA Animal Hospital. "Insulation stops your home from getting too cold in winter, but it also keeps it from overheating in summer—and your dog's coat does the same thing."
Dogs' coats have several layers, and these layers are essential to your dog's comfort in the heat. Robbing your dog of this natural cooling system can lead to discomfort and overheating. And keeping your dog cool isn't the only reason to leave his coat intact, Dr. Murray warns.
- Your dog's coat prevents your pup from getting sunburn and helps protect her from skin cancer.
To protect your pet from sunburn and skin cancer, save longer walks for evenings, and consider applying pet-specific sun block to thinly covered areas like the bridge of your dog's nose, the tips of his ears and his belly, Dr. Murray suggests, noting that pets with thin coats, as well as those with white or light-colored coats, are especially at risk for sun damage.
- There are better ways to manage your pets' coats to keep them cool: trimming and brushing.
"It's OK to trim your long-haired dog's long hair, such as any hair that hangs down on his legs," Dr. Murray says. Just never attempt to clip mats off your pet's coat with scissors, Dr. Murray adds. And if you've got a long-haired kitty, leave her coat intact. Instead, brush her a little more frequently during the hot summer months.
Of course, pet parents should remember to keep pets inside with plenty of water during hot days—hydration is key! For more important information on summer pet care, visit our Hot-Weather Tips. Stay cool out there!
Dogs don't sweat, Dale. That's why they pant.
dogs do NOT sweat! They do not have the same body cooling system that we humans have! Do you pant? we are different biologically and it is important you talk to a vet rather than project your own human ness onto your dog.
I worked at a well know cancer hospital in Houston. Their department of Experimental Animals would diagnose and treat cancer in pets as a part of their research. My friend took her dog and the diagnosis was: "Cancer of the sweat glands." The cancer was not in his feet.
Right on, as I am one of the groomers, I do NOT shave them skinned, sigh we are not that stupid. my cats and dogs loves it!
I am also a groomer & I will clipper pets with guard combs... I do not like shaving them to the skin unless it's absolutely necessary! And if you are not a groomer, do not pretend to know what thay are supposed to say!
Right on Marcie! We might not be Vets but we are educated in our field and we work with animals day in and day out and we get to know them and their coats. Many times I have sent my clients to Vets to have them checked because I suspected a medical problem and that was in fact what they had. We as groomers often see animals much more often then their doctors and pick up things about them that their parents miss.
Right on Betsy's. We see ALOT as groomers. We should always do what is best for the animal. This article was good, yet vague as far as coat types. Some dogs have fur, some hair. Hair- such as on bichons, yorkies, cockers, etc. must be cut regularly. Fur- double coats- such as labs, goldens, huskies, etc. by and large, but not always, should not be cut. Unfortunately, the biggest problem I see is lack of care of the coat on a regular basis, leading to heavy undercoat and mats. Yes, shaving/cutting may be the best solution for many dogs, regardless of coat type. Skin problems are a huge culprit leading to shaving/cutting. Age is another. We always talk to the owner about their dogs' specific needs. I usually try to talk an owner out of cutting down a double coat. Most of the time the reason they want them cut is that the dog is hot and they shed too much. I explain how a dog's cooling system works, but also try to find out how much attention is spent on coat care between groomings. If an Aussie, for example, is never brushed properly at home to remove undercoat, and there is no indication that brushing will take place, or there are skin problems, then much to my dismay, I will take the coat down, because I know the dog basically has no other option. Yes, groomers can charge more for these cuts, but at what cost down the road. We have essentially ruined these coats in many cases. What you don't often hear is that over time, the coat gets thicker and thicker and has to be cut shorter and shorter because the clippers won't go through the coat without extensive brushing first. Ironic isn't it? Over time the fees can grow. I call this a bad investment. There is no one answer for every pet but for the most part, double coats are best left natural and cared for by both owner and groomer respectively. Cat's are pretty much self sufficient but age, health problems and weight can keep them from taking care of themselves. Owners should regularly brush both dogs and cats regularly. I just don't understand why people take the 'easy' way out. Most cats don't take well to a haircut and the undue stress is unfortunate to say the least. Take the time to do what is right for your pet. What is best for another may not be best for you. Find an experienced groomer that will listen to you and do what is best for your pet. Do your research!! These are our furkids and we are their voice.
I have a boxer/golden retriever/beagle mix. His coat is not even on his body. He has long hair on his ears, hind legs and chest while the rest if him is short and has a few patches of extra long wiry hair. It is almost impossible to keep the hair on his ears and belly from matting up. I want to cut his fur so that it is all one length, but he is extremely hyper so we have not done it yet. As a groomer, would you have any suggestions on how to trim him up? We will brush him and cut the mats only to have them show back up overnight.

Confine, medicate and mass-produce: This is the basic operating strategy of America's factory farms, and it's very bad news for farm animals. Today the ASPCA is releasing a new animated video that tells the chilling story of how modern, industrial agriculture practices defy common sense and cut corners—and how the industry follows that up by pushing for state laws to hide the rampant animal cruelty.
"Ag-gag" bills are attempts to criminalize efforts to investigate illegal or unethical activities—like animal abuse, food safety violations and unsafe working conditions—taking place on factory farms. Ag-gag legislation is sweeping this country like an epidemic, with almost half of all states having proposed these unconstitutional bills that would punish those who would speak truth to power. The ASPCA is fighting to block these bills wherever they appear.
Help us by watching the video, signing this anti-ag-gag petition to your state lawmakers, and sharing both with your friends!
Whistleblowers have brought to light horrendous cruelty and sickening conditions on factory farms. The American public deserves to know where our food is coming from, and the ASPCA is committed to improving the lives of farm animals—but these fundamental protections can't be achieved when it's a crime to simply expose the truth. It's time for lawmakers to stop protecting Big Ag and start supporting American values like transparency, a safe food supply and animal welfare.
I didn't need to watch to know I'd be facing 'legal' abominations in the field of treatment, just about the same the world over. The ghastly butchering being suffered by " mere animals, after all"... -- Humans are animals. Those not wanting to admit it had better suffer the treatment they inflict on others themselves. Volunteer, anyone?
I agree with Samantha, that is why I became vegetarian 5 years ago and sorry that
I did not do it years ago.
Being a vegetarian is only the tip of the iceberg. You have to consider the miserable lives of cows on dairy farms and the fact that their babies are taken away immediately after birth and the males are killed after a few days for veal, and the horrendous abuse in the egg industry and the vile conditions the hens live in. Being vegan is the only way to have a clear conscience and then being a campaigner for the animals.
Yes! All animals feel pain and want to live. So many people that are horrified by the abuse of cats and dogs will pay others to do the cruelest things to farmed animals who are no different when it comes to their capacity to suffer. It's easy to choose food from plants rather than animals every time we eat and thus spare animals from the horrors inherent in ALL food production. Chickens used for egg production (free-range, organic, battery cage, etc.) are slaughtered at 1-2 years when egg-laying declines. ALL the male chicks are killed in gruesome ways (ground alive, suffocated in trash bags, etc.) shortly after birth. Male calves are useless to the dairy industry and are either raised for veal or killed immediately. Spent female cows, whose bodies have been ravaged by repeated pregnancies and milking are slaughtered at a mere fraction of their natural life spans when production declines. If you care about animal abuse and don't want to support it, go vegan. Resources and recipes abound on the internet. Learn more about the humane myth of so-called "humane" animal farming at http://www.peacefulprairie.org/humane-myth01.html.
Its god to see that someone cares enough to take the time to write about their thoughts and feelings. Very well said. Thanks for the honesty. makes me feel sad and very depressed to know about the animal suffering, but when i see that there is people like me with my thoughts and vegan food habits, i feel a liitle better every time......thanx
I am with you on that, this is why I became a vegetarian. I only wish more would follow suit. Those who won't either don't care about what the animals suffer through day in and day out or they turn a blind eye to it and don't want to hear what is going on.

Men's Soccer Match with Lees-McRae Halted in 51st Minute Due to Lightning/Weather; Match to Be Replayed on TBA Date
September 25, 2011
MISENHEIMER, N.C. - Pfeiffer University and Lees-McRae College had their Conference Carolinas men's soccer matchup halted in the 51st minute of play due to lightning and storms in the area, being unable to get to the required 70 minutes needed for an official match on Sunday afternoon. The Bobcats were up 3-0 and setting up to take a penalty kick with lightning stopped play. The game will not count and a make-up date is TBA for the match to be replayed in its entirety. Both teams were postponed Saturday due to heavy rains forcing the attempt on Sunday.
Go Falcons!

Judge Debra Nelson denied a motion by prosecutors to keep toxicology results revealing Martin had THC in his system from the jury, thus permitting the defense to argue Martin's drug use could have affected his behavior on the night that he was shot.
Defense attorney Don West noted that during Zimmerman's 911 call he can be heard saying the person he was observing appeared to be "on drugs."
Zimmerman's defense spokesman Shawn Vincent said Monday the defense would rest by the end of the day Tuesday or early Wednesday. The prosecution will then have time to introduce any rebuttal witnesses. Closing statements are expected to take place Thursday or Friday in what would be the end of week three of the trial.
Zimmerman, 29, a former neighborhood watch volunteer, pleaded not guilty to the second degree murder of Martin on the night of February 26, 2012, claiming he shot the teen in self defense. If convicted, Zimmerman faces life in prison.
During opening statements, the prosecution argued that Zimmerman profiled Martin, was following him during his neighborhood watch shift and called a police dispatch number before encountering the teen.

Men's Soccer Blanked Again; Shutout 2-0 at Region Rival Catawba
October 20, 2011
SALISBURY, N.C. - The 2011 Pfeiffer University men's soccer season continues in its struggle after a 2-0 shutout loss at region-rival Catawba on Thursday night at Frock Field. The Indians improve to 7-8 overall while the Falcons plummet to 2-11-1.
Just before the half in the 41st minute, Catawba put home the first tally of the night courtesy of Ezra Ntirugelegwa's third of the season from just outside the 18. Insurance in the 63rd minute came from Corey Faughnan sending a loose ball over to Kyle Griewisch who slammed home his second of the year. Catawba outshot Pfeiffer 18-12 while limiting the Falcons to just two shots on goal.

This latter accomplishment is not only a victory of art but also a potential victory for criticism, for whenever we are faced with a thing that cannot be measured by the tools we have, we must invent others. Beckett's and Nabokov's rewriting of their own works in their other languages is a very special form of literary work, closely resembling but not identical with translation.

James Haskell has been cited for punching during the Highlanders' match against the Cheetahs.
Haskell was yellow carded for the incident where he punched Justin Downey twice but the incident was also white carded and the loose forward was subsequently pinned.

Drew McPhatter said the judges laughed at her when she auditioned for the North Carolina School of the Arts in Winston-Salem earlier this year.
She received an email stating she didn't get in less than a day later. She admitted she was insulted the judging panel was amused at her.
"The thing I took serious was a joke to them," she said on Friday.
McPhatter had the last laugh, though, as she was accepted into the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston, Mass. on Monday.
Her piano audition also earned her a $10,000 scholarship to the school, moving her north in August after living in Kinston her whole life.
"I'm ready," McPhatter, 17, said of her anticipated move to the big city. "I love the country, but I really do love the city because it's so much ambition and inspiration there."
She's eagerly anticipating the move and said it won't be a culture shock because it's a chance for her to live her dream.
"I'm happy for her," said Wanda McPhatter, Drew's mother, who's already seen one child off to college. "We prepared them the best way we could. Hopefully, the people that they come in contact with will have positive attitudes as we've tried to instill in them."
Drew McPhatter has an older brother, who attends North Carolina Central University, and an older sister.
McPhatter watched her parents — Wanda and Curtis McPhatter — play piano at the early age of 3. She expressed interest by pushing on piano keys and the McPhatters put her in lessons when she was 5.
She started playing the clarinet and saxophone in middle school, but her primary instrument — the piano — has always been a part of her life.
She remembered the piano at her old house had a pokey spike on the B flat key.
"Every time I pressed it, it would prick me," she said, "but I enjoyed the sound I got from it. I guess it was pretty much at that point I knew what I was going to do."
Every big dream, though, comes with even greater challenges, and one of McPhatter's was losing her grandmother.
She played music with her late grandmother as a child, and still holds onto her organ and piano.
"She died when I was in fourth or fifth grade from cancer," McPhatter said. "That was my twin, that was the other part of me. To this day, I miss her."
Berklee College — her dream school for four years — is only Phase 1 of her post-high school music career. She plans on getting her doctorate and teaching on a university level.
After years of playing, she now teaches lessons, produces, composes and travels to various venues to perform, including local weddings. McPhatter said the "universal language" of music keeps her motivated.
With the dynamics of her musical activities, she said she barely has time for a social life.
"It gets difficult because I think about all the things I'm missing out on," McPhatter said.
She serves as Kinston High's yearbook editor and said it's a chance for her to contribute to what people will remember for years to come — which is also a goal of her music ventures.
McPhatter, unyielding in her drive for musical success, uses her talent to recognize those who have supported her.
"(Music) allows me a chance to mold tomorrow and what people will listen to 20, 30 or 50 years from now," she said. "The amount of things you can do with music is just so fascinating."

TROY — A Troy teenager who waited outside of a Troy apartment as two other teens went inside and conducted a home invasion on Halloween Eve that resulted in a murder pleaded no contest to felony charges in common pleas court Thursday.
Brendon A. Terrel, 19, was found guilty of complicity to aggravated robbery and complicity to aggravated burglary, along with a gun specification, in a plea agreement where his cooperation is expected against the other accomplices in the murder of Troy resident Nathan Wintrow, 20.
Terrel, who remains jailed on a $250,000 bond, is scheduled for a sentencing hearing on March 17.
Meanwhile, two men charged in Wintrow's death, Jason C. Sowers II, 16, and Patrick McGail, 17, both of Troy, have their trials tentatively scheduled for May.
Sowers and McGail were arraigned earlier this year for two counts of murder and a count of aggravated robbery and aggravated burglary. Both teens, who are being tried as adults, entered pleas of not guilty at their separate arraignments.
Authorities allege Sowers and McGail entered a duplex located at 218 E. Canal St., Troy, through a backdoor wearing masks, confronted the victim and later shot Wintrow at point-blank range in front of the victim's girlfriend and a 2-year-old child.
The motive of the crime was allegedly to rob Wintrow of money and marijuana, according to the Troy Police Department.
Police said Sowers allegedly pulled the trigger and police later found a 9mm handgun under the seat of Sowers' vehicle.

The unemployment rate is 1.3 percent lower than a year ago and has been decreasing or remaining steady statewide during the past year when it was 10.6 percent.
The state's decreasing rate is not something to be overjoyed about, though, according to some economists.
"A lot of the decrease is because of people leaving the labor force," said Randall E. Parker, an economics professor at East Carolina University. "That is a disturbing trend."
When people stop looking for jobs and drop out of the employment system, the rate goes down, he said.
Nationally, the rate increased 0.1 percent from 7.8 percent to 7.9 percent. The national rate has fairly consistently decreased over the past year with the lowest rate in September. A year ago, it was 8.9 percent. The state and national rates are not seasonally adjusted.
The number of people employed (seasonally adjusted) increased by 43,699 to about 4.3 million from September, and 95,425 over the year.
However, North Carolina had the fifth-highest unemployment rate in the U.S. in September.
What makes North Carolina's rates so much higher than the national rate is its reliance on the manufacturing industry, which much of has moved overseas.
"Manufacturing is important in North Carolina," Parker said. "… That is the biggest hole since the Great Depression."
Parker said historically it's been shown it takes five to seven years to climb out of a financial crisis and this one began September 2008.
"We just have to be patient and see over the next year," he said.
According to the Associated Press, the state may actually see an increase in the unemployment rate because North Carolina was one of six states with the highest increase in people applying for unemployment benefits.
Parker said the state needs to "make the tax equivalent to its border states" in order to make North Carolina competitive for industry with Virginia, South Carolina and Tennessee.
"When it comes to investment, or the rate of return on equity (capital)," he said, "it's driven by the tax rate."
The non-farm industry employment rate increased by 8,000 to about 4 million in October. The largest major industry increase from September to October was leisure and hospitality services, which gained 3,600 jobs. Second was trade, transportation and utilities, which added 2,900 jobs. Following was manufacturing, which gained 2,600 jobs, and construction, which saw 1,800 more jobs.
Non-farm industry employment, since October 2011, gained 35,700 jobs — an increase of 36,800. Goods production decreased by 1,100. The largest over-the-year increase of major industries was in trade, transportation and utilities by 1,100, followed by leisure and hospitality services by 10,800, professional and business services by 9,100 and education and health services by 6,400.
The top five not-seasonally-adjusted industries in the last year with job gains are accommodations and food services, professional, scientific and technical, wholesale trade, healthcare and social assistance and local government.
The top five with the highest job losses are textile mills, apparel, printing and related support activities, textile product mills and fabricated metal products.
About $102.6 million was paid to 99,984 claimants in the state for regular unemployment insurance benefits in October — an increase of 3,986 claimants from September. Regular initial claims totaled 59,118 — an increase of 16,756 from a month earlier. Employees expect to be recalled back to their jobs in 47 percent of those initial claims.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics will release the county unemployment rates for October on Tuesday.

Bob Costas
Off topic but I'd like to say I've lost respect for Bob Costas. His Olympic style speeches during half time have always struck a nerve, and last night was icing on the cake.
He used the tragedy in KC as his stance on gun control. He was talking about young men with loud stereos and went babbling on about our current society. WHAT A JOKE..Bob Costas, you are a tool
Re: Bob Costas
No disagreement here, but this is the wrong place for this thread.
Thanks to NBF for the sig!
follow me @ kevhitch
Re: Bob Costas
I was thinking the same thing when I heard it!!!! what a joke....what they never mention is if guns were outlawed all the bad people that shouldnt have them will have them anyway. It will just make it easier for the criminal because then they will know that the regular law abiding citizen will not posess a gun to protect themselves...
Re: Bob Costas
I agree 100%. The man is a tool, and would do everyone a huge favor if he would just shut his freaking mouth.

I'm a Bob Costas fan. Used to love watching "Later with Bob Costas".
As for the issue at hand, I had an Uncle commit suicide with a gun, and know of at least one other person personally who did so.
Re: Bob Costas
F Bob Costas. Did Obama pay him to say that or what? I want my guns to protect myself from the government.
Re: Bob Costas
Re: Bob Costas
I'm not upset about the issue. I just think there's a time and place to bring up certain things. No one cares about HIS stance or Whitlock's. I don't want to hear about your views during a half time show. Talk about the actual game. Bob has a great voice but lacks football knowledge. His speeches are scripted and WAY too serious. Never liked the guy
Re: Bob Costas
How did President Obama get into Jungle Forum thread titled Bob Costas dealing with gun control????
Re: Bob Costas
Obama & Mitt Romney both ****...But if you haven't heard, Obama wants to ban guns asap.
Re: Bob Costas
This is about Costas and how big of a tool bag he is. Lets keep politics out of this lol
Re: Bob Costas
Guns are simply a tool if they are used for Defensive measures or Offensive measures isnt based on the gun but the Person holding the gun..
dont blame guns. Blame stupid people.
Re: Bob Costas
I'm about as left and liberal as you'll find on the boards, but I gotta agree. It's not his job to give political commentary. He was out of line.
Follow her and get your but over to the new board: http://bengalsboard.net/portal.php
Re: Bob Costas
First of all I'm sorry for the loss your family suffered, I just said a prayer for them concerning the loss of your Uncle.
That being said how does your Uncle or the other person you know using a gun to kill themselves bring any relevance whatsoever to the gun debate?
If guns weren't available they would've found another one of the millions of ways possible to off themselves because their mental instabilites are causing them to lose focus of the big picture and are depressing them to the point that life isn't worth living.
We need to quit focusing on the guns and start focusing on the people. If somebody would've reached out to Belcher and gotten him some help this wouldn't have happened. Stop focusing on guns and start focusing on people.
Re: Bob Costas
Re: Bob Costas
This is the place for this discussion because he said it during a football game, and without football games, none of us would be on these boards.
Re: Bob Costas
Analyzing coverage of Chiefs' tragedy and more (cont.)
4a. Using the prism of the murder-suicide as a launching point, NBC's Bob Costas caused an uproar among the gun lobby with his halftime essay during the Cowboys-Eagles game on Sunday Night Football. Tweeted commentator Lou Dobbs: "The Media Left at Halftime: Bob Costas pushing gun control, quoting...who else?... a sports writer on ridding the country of the 2nd Amendment." Here's the video essay from Costas. One thing is certain: I don't think any other NBC Sports employee would have been granted the editorial freedom on such a hot-button topic.
The actual text of what Costas said:
"You knew it was coming. In the aftermath of the nearly unfathomable events in Kansas City, that most mindless of sports clichés was heard yet again, 'Something like this really puts it all in perspective.' Well if so, that sort of perspective has a very short shelf life since we will inevitably hear about the perspective we have supposedly again regained the next time ugly reality intrudes upon our games. Please -- those who need tragedies to continually recalibrate their sense of proportion about sports, would seem to have little hope of ever truly achieving perspective.
You want some actual perspective on this? Well, a bit of it comes from the Kansas City-based writer Jason Whitlock, with whom I do not always agree, but, who today, said it so well that we may as well just quote or paraphrase from the end of his article. 'Our current gun culture,' Whitlock wrote, 'ensures that more and more domestic disputes will end in the ultimate tragedy, and that more convenience store confrontations over loud music coming from a car will leave more teenage boys bloodied and dead. Handguns do not enhance our safety. They exacerbate our flaws, tempt us to escalate arguments, and bait us into embracing confrontation rather than avoiding it. In the coming days, Jovan Belcher's actions, (and its possible connection to football), will be analyzed.' Who knows? But here, (wrote Jason Whitlock) is what I believe, 'If Jovan Belcher didn't possess a gun, he and Kasandra Perkins would both be alive today.'"

Re: Bob Costas
Take away guns!! Take them all away!!
That is the easiest answer to make everyone feel all warm and fuzzy.
It is a way to make people think they are doing good by advocating what they think is right. It is an easy out.
How many of these celebs etc. spend their time volunteering to helping "people". To donate money to social programs that would get to the root of these problems.
Yes, gun violence will increase and violent crime will also continue to increase. But not because guns exist and not because any other weapons exist but because socially, economically and morally our entire system is effed up.
Show me the real statistics out there. Show me how many elderly live on peanut butter sandwhiches and no heat because they can't afford to live and they can't work.
Show me how many of these gun crimes are commited by fatherless children that are raised on the streets because either whoever is raising them is addicted to drugs or is working 16 hr days just to put food on the table.
As parents, neighbors, friends and as a society as a whole everyone needs to be held accountable for what they do to affect their own lives and the lives around them. That is our job as human beings. No one feels accountable for anything anymore, there is always something else to blame.
Take guns away but don't fix the issues that cause people to want to or need to use those guns in the first place......makes perfect sense.

Re: Bob Costas
According to surveys conducted in 1999, in the preceding year, over 2 million of the 8 million college students in the United States drove under the influence of alcohol and over 3 million rode with a drinking driver. Over 500,000 full-time 4-year college students were unintentionally injured under the influence of alcohol and over 600,000 were hit or assaulted by another student who had been drinking.
Alcohol-related motor vehicle crashes kill someone every 31 minutes and non-fatally injure someone every two minutes (NHTSA 2006).
During 2005, 16,885 people in the U.S. died in alcohol-related motor vehicle crashes, representing 39% of all traffic-related deaths (NHTSA 2006).
Anyone seriously call for the ban of alcohol lately? Oh wait, we tried that. It didn't work remember.
Annual Cause of death (Data from 2009 unless otherwise noted)
Lack of Health Insurance3 (2005) - 44,789 (Interesting sidenote that so many want to do away with Obamacare and kill 44,789 people annually.
Poisoning - 41,592
Drug Induced - 39,147
Intentional Self-Harm (Suicide) - 36,909 (Potentially invalid since presumably some of them shot themselves). Wont argue the point.
Motor Vehicle Accidents- 34,485
And way down here is the Firearm Injuries - 31,347.
Now based on the reasoning of taking firearms away from everyone because 31,347 people die or are injured annually due to firearms, means that to address the actual threat people face that is most likely to kill them, or which results in the highest number of fatalities, all substances which are considered poison need to be illegalized, or controlled by the government, all drugs (that includes Grandma's pain killers, and Pop's kidney pills, and your Sisters sleeping pills), need to be criminalized and taken away, and obviously motor vehicles which kill tens of thousands a year need to be taken away and criminalized.
And these numbers do not include those who managed to fall off a ladder, trip and stab themselves while running with a pair of scissors, or fell out of the fishing boat and drowned, or choked on a steak at a restaurant.
There will always be the nearer do wells who think that because lil Johnnie fell of his tricycle and bashed his head against the curb that everyone should be made to wear a helmut to ride a tricycle, or that tricycles should just be banned. Case in point. A big deal has been made in recent years about brain injures from falling off bicycles, and helmuts are mandatory in some places, or people have been scarred to death and so they shell out the money to buy a helmut before they climb on a bike... (And the helmut manufacturers make a killing themselves off it). For lil Johnnie well perhaps it is a good idea for the little tyke.
But ever see someone wear a helmut ice skating? Walking on the subway platform? Climbing a ladder? Riding an escalator? Everyone who mounts a horse? Of course not, it would be ridiculas. Yet every year hundreds, perhaps thousands, die from just those activities. Yes it would protect you, but never the less is ridiculas. And for those who think mandates are good, imagine the government mandating everything you do, and eliminating anything that might be a danger.
Waking up in the morning and leaving the house is in many instances, in fact, in thousands of instances a day, is a life threatening event.
You staying home tomorrow under the covers? You should. Because leaving the house means you're taking a good chance on being killed. You may be bitten by a shark, hit by a car, fall down the stairs, slip on grape at the store and hit your head on the counter, or get electrocuted turning on the lights at work with hands not quite dryed from the restroom.
Eliminating dangerous things from life will not lead to life ever lasting unfortunately, it only appears so to those who's ox has been gored. When the 99 year old grandfather runs down a bunch of kids at the cross walk because in your opinion he has no business driving a car... Well now, all of a sudden to the parents of those kids that seems like a darn good idea. But Senator Snort knows that if he votes to ban cars to 99 year olds, his time in the Senate is up because anyone over 60 is not going to vote for Senator Snort.
So, what is your favorite thing? Food (how many die of obesity a year?). Football (how many die of brain injuries a year - we're closing in on finding out before you laugh, it might just be contact sports turn to be staring bans in the face soon). Flying a kite (how many automobile accidents take place when lil Suzie's kite goes down on the street out front and hits the windshield of some Soccer Mom's van and causes it to crash into a group of kids walking to the mall? And on and on.
No, banning things and government controls are not the answer. And for the stupids... There is no answer. Because, there ain' t no cure for stupid. So someone, somehow, sometime, somewhere, is always going to get themselves killed because they didn't, shouldn't, couldn't, wouldn't, and that's just a fact of life.

Re: Bob Costas
I request the moderater delete all the antigun opinions asap. I find it offensive.
Re: Bob Costas
Costas is an idiot! OJ did NOT use a gun to kill Nicole Brown or Ron Goldman (yes I know, he was "not guilty" in the eyes of the court).
My uncle killed himself when I was about 9 1/2....and he did NOT use a gun, he got a dog chain and hung himself right outside his daughters window...
How could Costas say or agree with the statement about if Belcher did not have a gun, he and Kassandra Perkins would be alive. HE does not know that nor does anyone else. You can kill someone with your bare hands, and dude was big enough to achieve killing her using his hands, a knife, an object or tossing her down the stairs. You can't say if he did not have a gun he or she would be alive, too many ways to kill someone. If he wanted to kill her, then he is going to do it, whether its strangulation or a GSW.
But, alas, every time something happens, the liberals and the liberal media will say it is all about guns....
If someone had a gun in Columbine, or Colorado, or during the Gabby Giffords incident, it's possible that lives could have been saved..
Criminals are always going to get guns no matter what, look at Chicago and their anti-gun laws, that is really working huh??
Proud gun owner and so is my father, he taught me to respect guns, and use them for protection.....it's all about how you are brought up and raised.

One Week Only!
- Posted by howies
- 18 September 2010
Just a reminder that we still have the cycling exhibition upstairs at the Bristol shop for another week.
There's loads of photographs, illustrations and even 40 bespoke cycling caps designed by local artists. (These are going to be auctioned off, but more about that later in the week!)
So if you haven't been to see it already, get down to the shop and have a look around. If you ask nicely we might even put the kettle on!

Machine learning and clever 8-year olds
This week, Plus is attending the Edinburgh International Science Festival — an educational charity aiming to engage society in the value of science and technology, placing a particularly strong emphasis on providing experiences of science that are inspiring and confidence building. The Festival is internationally well-regarded and one of the biggest science events in the UK. Its timing suggests we are now well into science festival season, with roughly another 10 city-wide events to be held around the country, in addition to the recently run Cambridge and Brighton Science Festivals. In 2007, Plus attended the BA York Science Festival — you can read more on the Plus Blog.
There is a comprehensive range of talks from some of the world's leading scientists, and last evening Plus attended a talk by Chris Bishop, Deputy Director of Microsoft Research in Cambridge, on Machine Learning. Compared to humans, machines are very bad at recognising some patterns — for instance, recognising that a photo of a cow is actually a cow and not a dog or a shadow or even a spoon — they simply do not innately know these things and must be taught. Whilst humans are very good at understanding messy handwriting — a subtle task — computers must learn. Bishop's work involves developing computers that can learn and so become smarter in completing their tasks. To read more about the mathematics involved, see the Cambridge team's introduction to applied mathematics for machine learning.
Central to machine learning is the Turing Test. English mathematician Alan Turing — instrumental in breaking the Enigma code during World War II — is widely regarded as one of the founders of modern computer science — see the Plus article What computers can't do. In a 1950 paper, he described what he called the Imitation game, now known as the Turing Test, in which a person (in a separate room) tries to distinguish between human and computer test subjects by asking them each a series of questions. If the person can't distinguish between the computer and the human, the computer is deemed to be intelligent. There is a (currently unclaimed) prize of $100,000 for a computer that can pass the Turing Test. Bishop talked about the Forza Motorsport X-box game, in which you race against other players or against the computer. The computer car can be taught to drive like a human — you can create a "Drivatar" which will learn from the way you drive and then drive like you. The word Drivatar comes from avatar, which in gamer-speak is the player's representation within the game. Participants in trials have said that they cannot tell the difference between a human playing and a computer, and so within a very limited context, the Drivatar passes the Turing Test.
Bishop also talked about other developments in machine learning, from Spam email detection — see the Plus article CAPTCHA if they can — to websearches and modern developments in HIV detection. New software is being developed to look for patterns in the HIV protein code. This code evolves over time, and so searching for the same string of amino acids each time is likely not to work. He also discussed developments in the way computers play the games Chess and Go. He stated that whilst the IBM Deep Blue chess-playing computer was able to beat world chess champion Garry Kasparov in 1997, it was not because of any particular advances in machine "intelligence" — the success was largely due to advancements in computer memory and speed that allowed the computer to analyse the game very thoroughly. If at each turn you can make around 30 possible moves, and then there are around 30 possible replies by your opponent, and then in turn another 30 possible moves you can make, and so on, then a human could never hope to analyse each and every scenario. However, Deep Blue was able to look at the full set of possible moves and then make the best one (although it did have the intelligence to look within a set of smart moves). With the game Go however, at each turn there are around 200 possible moves, meaning that it is impossible currently to completely analyse each scenario before playing a move. Bishop is working with computers that are learning by playing against humans.
I have also attended Wonderama and the mathematical puzzles at the Museum of Scotland. Wonderama is designed for the whole family and hosts many free activities and events for budding scientists, aspiring surgeons, wannabe adventurers and trainee archaeologists. Thankfully, my time around science festivals means that I wasn't outdone by 8-year olds in the mathematical puzzle department. Actually, that is not completely true...
Tonight, I am eagerly awaiting the Edinburgh Medal Address by Professor Chris Rapley, Director of the Science Museum, on the dangers of climate change. The Edinburgh Medal is awarded each year to those within science whose professional achievements are judged to have made a significant contribution to the understanding and well-being of humanity.
For more information and a comprehensive program, see the Festival website. The event runs until April 6.

Film3 — maths at the movies
Mathematical films will be featured next week in the Edinburgh International Science Festival's mathematics film festival Film3 — maths at the movies.
Pi will be featured on 1 April.
The season of mathematical movies was created by the International Centre for Mathematical Sciences and Filmhouse Cinema to showcase three very different independent films. Each film is based around a mathematical concept, but also provides an element of social commentary.
The season opens on 27 March with the UK premiere of the highly acclaimed animation, Flatland the Film. Based on the 1889 novel by Edwin A. Abbot, the film tackles issues revolving around race, gender, religion and globalisation. Mr A. Square is an average middle-class Flatlander until enlightenment allows him to see his world from a different dimension. He discovers that Flatland is threatened by forces it cannot possibly recognise. Will he be able to save his family and his world? Everyone attending the screening will receive a "goody bag" containing postcards signed by Flatland's director Ladd Ehlinger Jr, a copy of the novel donated by Transreal Fiction, vouchers from Filmhouse and Edinburgh International Science Festival, and other mathematical goodies from ICMS. A discussion led by Maximillian Ruffert of University of Edinburgh and Katie Russell of Heriot-Watt University will follow the film.
You can read the Plus review of the original 1889 novel Flatland in the Plus article 'Flatland'.
Pi is screened on 1 April and explores the life and experiences of Max, a gifted mathematician who believes that everything in the Universe can be expressed mathematically. He becomes obsessed with finding the underlying pattern behind the stock market, but religious and commercial groups try to exploit his research. Can he pass through this philosophical maelstrom and survive unscathed? Giorgos Papageorgiou and Tim Johnson of Heriot Watt University will discuss the film with the audience after the screening.
The final film, Cube, is screened on April 3. Cube investigates the relationships between six apparently unconnected individuals who wake up inside a three-dimensional maze of interlocking cubes. Developing mutual trust is the key to survival as they are forced to collaborate on cracking the code behind the Cube's mechanism. How many will escape to discover the bigger mystery that lies outside their existentialist prison? Science fiction author and mathematician Hannu Rajaniemi will discuss questions arising from the mathematics in Cube with the audience.
Tickets are available for individual films, or at a discounted rate for all three, from the box office at Filmhouse Cinema, 88 Lothian Road, Edinburgh, EH3 9BZ (phone: 0131 228 2688). Each screening will start at 5.45pm, and there will be discussion in the theatre after the screening, and then over coffee and drinks.
Plus will be attending the screening of Pi, so please come and chat to us! You can read more on the Film3 — maths at the movies website.

Mathematical physicist wins 2008 Templeton Prize
The 2008 Templeton Prize has been awarded to Polish mathematical physicist Michael Heller. Heller has worked for more than 40 years in theology, philosophy, mathematics and cosmology, and intends to use the £820,000 prize to set up a cross-university and inter-disciplinary institute to investigate questions in science, theology and philosophy.
16th century depiction of Genesis (Michelangelo, Sistine Chapel): God creates Adam. Like Galileo, Heller thinks that mathematics is the "language of God."
The Templeton Prize was founded in 1972 by philanthropist Sir John Templeton, and is awarded annually to a living person for "progress toward research or discoveries about spiritual realities". It is the world's largest annual monetary prize of any kind given to an individual (£820,000). Plus reported on John Barrow's success in 2006.
Heller has been rewarded for "developing sharply focused and strikingly original concepts on the origin and cause of the Universe, often under intense (communist Poland) governmental repression."
Heller's work these days is largely in non-commutative geometry, which he uses to attempt to remove the problem of a cosmological singularity at the origin of the Universe. "If on the fundamental level of physics there is no space and no time, as many physicists think," says Heller, "non-commutative geometry could be a suitable tool to deal with such a situation."
You can read more on non-commutative geometry in the Plus article Quantum Geometry.

Physical demonstration of mathematical traffic model
Recently, Plus reported on work done by mathematicians from the Universities of Exeter, Bristol and Budapest into why traffic jams often occur for seemingly no reason.
Now, for the first time, researchers from several Japanese universities have recreated this effect by placing 22 vehicles on a 230-metre single-lane circuit. The drivers drove at a steady 30 kilometres per hour, and whilst initially the traffic flowed smoothly, eventually a backwards travelling shock-wave developed which forced some cars to almost stop and others to increase their speed to 40 kilometres per hour to catch the car in front.
Watch the video below, which comes from the New Scientist channel on you-tube. You can read more about this in the original New Scientist article.

A Neighborhood Approach to a Healthier Lake
Improve Your Lawn & Lake In One Simple Step
What Can I Do to Help?
Lake-Friendly Fertilizers & Their Applications
Most soil in our area already carries enough phosphorus to support a healthy lawn. For a small price, homeowners can request a soil test to see if their lawns need additional phosphorus.
If additional phosphorus isn't needed, homeowners can buy a no/low phosphorus fertilizer through a local garden, farm, or hardware store or work through a lawn service that provides no/low phosphorus fertilizer (see vendor list).
Fertilizer bags carry numbers giving the proportion of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in the mix. For example, a 22-3-14 mixture has 22 percent nitrogen, 3 percent phosphorus, and 14 percent potassium. How can you tell which fertilizer to use? The middle number on the bag should be less than 2 or 3.
When applying fertilizer, a three foot buffer area should always be left around lakes and connecting waterways to ensure fertilizer does not come into direct contact with the water.
Remember to Sweep it. Fertilizer left on the pavement, is a pollutant that washes into storm drains, lakes and streams. Do it yourself or ask your lawn care service to sweep fertilizer over spray onto your lawn. After all, if the fertilizer isn't on your yard, it's money down the drain!
Also, use slow-release fertilizer. This type releases small amounts of nutrients over time to ensure that all are absorbed properly and utilized by the plants. Liquid fertilizer quickly infiltrates the surface and groundwater supplies as runoff when lawns and gardens are irrigated, or during a rainstorm.
Slow release fertilizers can generally be applied only once during a growing season. No reapplication is necessary, especially when you incorporate native vegetation into your landscape.
Am I Part of the Problem?
If you reside in the Holmes Lake watershed area and fertilize your established lawn with anything other than a no/low phosphorus fertilizer, there is a good chance you're contributing to the problem. The people living in this area have a special opportunity to help protect the health of Holmes Lake. Check below to see if you live in the Holmes Lake watershed (in gray):
How Can I Test My Lawn?
Soil testing kits are easy to use and available at most lawn and garden centers for a small cost of $10-15. These kits can identify nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, and pH levels.
Death of A Lake (Eutrophication)
Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are essential nutrients needed for plant growth. They can be found in many things such as fertilizers, pesticides, animal waste and detergents. However, excess nutrients are a problem. Among these nutrients, phosphorus is the most damage-causing element in Lincoln-area lakes and waterways. Phosphorus within the water system causes dangerous algae blooms, excessive aquatic growth and a decrease in dissolved oxygen availability for aquatic life. These plants and the water quality problems that occur when they decompose, can kill fish and other organisms. Also, these toxic lake conditions limit human use and enjoyment of the lake. This process is known as eutrophication.
Fertilizers high in phosphorus are frequently used in home lawn care. When applied to your lawn, fertilizer can easily spill onto driveways and sidewalks. It can be washed into storm drains and flow over surfaces during a rainstorm or snow melt and settle into waterways and lakes. This excess phosphorus greatly speeds up the eutrophication process, and if not controlled, can cause a lake to 'age' more rapidly.

Roll over the map to access regions and towns
Selected: Tourist farm Pri Lazarju
The Pri Lazarju tourist farm is situated on a hill with mounted binoculars that will let you see the capital and the mountain chain of the Kamnik and Savinja Alps, the Karavanke Mountain Range and the Julian Alps. "You can see whether the ski slopes on Krvavec are crowded," jested the master of the house, while we enjoyed the vistas with snow falling all around us. Children who come to the farm with their parents quickly send their parents home after becoming masters of the ram, sheep and dog. The Bizjan family will teach them about nature, healthy diet, ecology and life on the farm. School groups learn about the occupation of a farmer, the forest and orchard, and take a journey through history and eco farming. The farm is, therefore, friendly to both accompanied and unaccompanied children.
Visitors are offered many delicacies, some of which include ox meat, štruklji rolled dumplings, desserts and many more. They are willing to share the secrets behind their culinary specialties and take homemade brandy enthusiasts on a "journey" of discovery of these homemade products. If guests are willing to help in the farm chores, the host will be happy to delegate some to them.

Minnesota Twins Tickets
Minnesota Twins Tickets Tickets Rated 0.00/5 based on 0 customer reviews
2013: 66-96, 4th in AL Central The 2014 Twins came out of the gate playing a better brand of baseball than the last few years, a welcome change for fans. Face of the franchise Joe Mauer is hitting as usual, leading an otherwise weak lineup. He's the team leader offensively, defensively, on the field, off the field, you name it. His presence is more important than ever as the Twins rebuild. The rest of the lineup has underachieved greatly, but odds are on Josh Willingham, Jason Kubel, Trevor Plouffe, and Brian Dozier to get it going offensively. Kurt Suzuki was a pleasant surprise at catcher early on. Center fielder Aaron Hicks is already on the highlight reels for amazing defensive play and when his bat comes around he'll be a model five-tool center fielder. On the pitching side of things, Ricky Nolasco and Phil Hughes were brought in over the winter to stabilize a rotation that has been among the worst in baseball over the last few years. They now have a few promising arms in Sam Deduno, Scott Diamond, Kyle Gibson, and Alex Meyer, but as of right now they don't strike out enough guys and it's a weakness that may keep them from contending this year. Glen Perkins closes games without incident well more often than not. And of course there's the Target Field factor, one of baseball's more beautiful ballparks with great views from all over the stadium. Gold Coast Tickets has excellent selection on tickets for your Minnesota Twins!
