"All extremists should be killed!" - neighbor's bumper sticker
I'm going to go out on a limbaugh and predict that Switzer & Briggs will be on the Republican ticket in 2012. If they win, Rush Limbaugh will be Secretary of State, Sarah Palin, Defense Secretary, Michael Savage, Homeland Security. Saul Ohio as Secretary of the Interior will sell the National Parks to big oil. 10,000 acres in the center of Death Valley National Monument will be set aside for a concentration camp. This camp will be designed to hold 58 percent of US voters - the 35 percent who voted for Obama, the 13 percent who voted for Oprah, and the 10 percent who voted for Ralph Nader.
All illegal aliens will be deported, and crops will be harvested by the 10 percent who voted for Nader. The fate of Obamites and Oprites is presently being settled in the Switzer & Briggs star chamber.
(Keep in mind, considering McCain's age, how close we came to having Palin in the White House. If big oil, or big somebody had put 100 million dollars into a TV blitz last September, Obama's law-school smoking habits for example, they might have tipped the scales in favor of McCain/Palin. We can see that kind of blitz now with healthcare reform. There is a critical voting block that can be swayed by cunning propaganda).

Easy repair. I ordered the part one day and it was delivered the next and that was using the least expensive delivery service. You guys are great Was this review helpful to you?

The Waratahs humiliated the Kings in Port Elizabeth, handing them their worst defeat of their short history.
The Waratahs were ruthless in scoring eleven tries as the match was over as a contest before half time, winning 72 – 10 after leading 46 – 10 at the break.
The first of the tries were scored as early as 38 seconds into the match, setting the tone for what was to follow. The bonus point try was scored in the 18th minute of the match, and one would have expected the Waratahs' intensity to drop. That was not the case as they went on to score another seven tries in putting a record score past the Kings.
Sergeal Petersen did save some blushes for the Kings, scoring their lone try before half time to at least record double figures on the scoreboard. The second half saw an improved performance from the hosts, who simply did not pitch for the first forty. Luke Watson was one of the half time changes and looked in much better shape than his start two weeks ago. He got the Kings on the front foot, while Petersen looked dangerous with ball in hand. Their downfall was simply a team that did not play as an unit, their defensive effort being the biggest area of concern.
The Waratahs backline players might have scored most of the tries, but it was the loose trio that were simply magnificent. Their efforts got the team on the front foot at all times, giving the backline space to work with. Israel Folau was a menace with ball in hand, along with his wings, getting over the advantage line and breaking tackles at will.
Looking at the Australian conference, the Waratahs might still be in third spot but they are playing the most attractive rugby at the moment, which stems from a back three that is given free reign. The Waratahs now head home to host a struggling Stormers team and should they be able to put half the performance together that we saw today, will certainly pick up more log points.
The Kings next host the Highlanders in what is a battle that will determine the bottom finisher. Should the Kings be able to pick themselves up and get a win over the Highlanders, they will almost certainly finish above the New Zealand team.
Kings: 10 (10)
Tries: Sergeal Petersen
Conversions: Demetri Catrakilis (1)
Penalties: Demetri Catrakilis (1)
Waratahs: 72 (46)

It's the misunderstanding potential that alarms me. In the US. I've heard people sum her up with a simple "be selfish". This idea, in the most self-centered country on the planet, is a recipe for disaster. I don't think pouring gasoline on that fire is a good idea.
I'm also thinking there is a middle ground to the two hypothesis you discuss - not shunning the notion of helping others, but not seeing this as mandatory, either. Those countries that reside there tend to score highest in happiness surveys. Good enough for me.

Exchange-traded products (ETPs) are a popular investment choice that have some characteristics of mutual funds but trade throughout the day, similar to individual stocks. They are comprised of baskets of stocks, bonds or other assets.
Exchange Traded Funds are one of the most important and valuable products created for individual investors in recent years.
By Topic & Product
By Type
By Skill Level
Exchange traded products (ETPs) are subject to market volatility and the risks of their underlying securities which may include the risks associated with investing in smaller companies, foreign securities, commodities and fixed income investments. Foreign securities are subject to interest rate, currency-exchange rate, economic and political risk all of which are magnified in emerging markets. ETPs that target a small universe of securities, such as a specific region or market sector are generally subject to greater market volatility as well as the specific risks associated with that sector, region or other focus. ETPs which use derivatives, leverage, or complex investment strategies are subject to additional risks. The return of an index ETP is usually different from that of the index it tracks because of fees, expenses and tracking error. An ETP may trade at a premium or discount to its Net Asset Value (NAV) (or indicative value in the case of ETNs). The degree of liquidity can vary significantly from one ETP to another and losses may be magnified if no liquid market exists for the ETP's shares when attempting to sell them. Each ETP has a unique risk profile which is detailed in its prospectus, offering circular or similar material, which should be considered carefully when making investment decisions.

The Battle of Newport Barracks might have just been a footnote in the Civil War. But some Carteret County residents don't want to see the community's role go unnoticed.
The Battle of Newport Civil War Memorial Park will be celebrated this weekend on a half-acre plot at 220 Chatham St. in Newport.
Local volunteers have been putting sweat equity into building the park, which will recreate features of the original barracks that were burned to the ground on Feb. 2, 1864.
One of those volunteers is Michael Bell, whose family goes back to the time when Newport was called Bell's Corner. In his family tree is Josiah Bell, a confederate spy, which is one of the reasons he has put so much time into the park project.
"I felt like being that my family probably had certain aspirations to help burn the place, I felt like I ought to help build it back," Bell said as he stood next to a log structure erected to look like one of the original barracks buildings.
"As far as history goes, Newport has probably had more than any other place in the county," Bell said.
Gerald Mann, chief architect of the project, said many know little about the battle he called the largest in Carteret County during the war.
"History is very important for our young people to learn about, so we want to bring history alive here in the park," he said. "We want to tell the story of the Civil War, and particular, the story of Newport Barracks."
Mann has personal connections to the war just like Bell. His great-grandfather fought in the battle of New Bern; and his great- great-grandfather, a Baptist minister, was thrown into a Confederate prison for preaching to Union soldiers.
Mann said the project wouldn't be possible without volunteer help and donations.
"It's going to take us a while because it's all being done by volunteer help and almost all contributed materials and paid for with individual contributions," he said of the project. "We've got a little help, from the town, no help from the county and none from the state, so this is being done by personal money."
Volunteers Joseph Bell, Russell Bell and Jonathan Stokes built the park's first structure, the log barracks building.
"They kind of gave their Christmas up to help build it," Bell said. "All of us helped, but this kind of thing is what makes the difference. Without these young men, this wouldn't have happened."
The building is like one prominently shown in a photograph of Newport Barracks when it was occupied by Company K of the Ninth Vermont after a snowfall.
Part of the exhibit that is to be unveiled this weekend includes a cannon . Confederate and Union flags will be flown, and an old section of railroad trestle donated by the North Carolina Railroad will be on display.
"We're going to have commemorations to the Union soldiers that were taken captive and put in prison in Wilmington," Mann said. "We're going to have a commemoration of all Carteret County men that served and one for the state and another to speak about the men that served throughout the war.
"We'll have couple of battlefield graves and some crude markers on them. We're going to have tents on the back, samples of all the tents used by the Union and the Confederates. There's a limit to how much we can get between now and next weekend."
Other features will be added to the park in the coming years. They include a covered wagon, more reconstructed barracks, a cook building, a railroad hand car, and other reproductions of period pieces.
"It will take the community to make sure that it works," Bell said.
The weekend's events begin today with the fourth annual Newport Heritage Dinner at St. James United Methodist Church Community Life Center. Dinner is from 5 to 7 p.m. with barbecue chicken, potato salad, green beans, rolls, dessert and a drink for a $10 donation. Tickets are available at the Newport Historic Museum, which is located on Chatham Street.
Entertainment is scheduled for 5 to 9 p.m. and includes Morris Willis and Company, Pickin' and Grinnin ' and others. Mann is scheduled to speak about the project at 7 p.m.
On Saturday, living history characters will be on the grounds of the museum and park from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and include members of the 5th North Carolina troops, Ellis' Battery and a contingent from Pennsylvania. The museum will be open all day and refreshments will be available.
Living history will again fill the grounds of the museum and the park from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. A dedication of the park is scheduled for 2 p.m. with a battlefield tour to follow the ceremony at about 3:30 p.m. The museum will be open throughout the day and refreshments will be available.
For more information about the event, contact Dianne Johnson, executive director of the Newport Historical Museum, at 252-241-1793

So they'll integrate Vimeo, but not YouTube, which the vast majority people use more and is considered the 'default' video service? Apple must REALLY want to keep Google's at arm's length when it comes to system integration, regardless of what people would actually want. Apple Maps again, anyone?
Flickr and Vimeo integration rumored for iOS 7
If the latest rumors turn out to be correct we could be looking at social photo and video integration in iOS 7 by way of Flickr and Vimeo support, most likely added to the existing social sharing options of Twitter and Facebook. The story comes by way of 9to5Mac's Mark Gurman:
"Both Flickr and Vimeo will now also be integrated deeply into the new operating system, so users will be able to sign into the respective networks via iOS 7′s built-in Settings application. Like with iOS's Facebook and Twitter ties, Apple customers will be able to log-in one time into each social network and have full sharing access."
Presumably that would also mean that, as with Twitter and Facebook, other third-party apps would be able to hook into Flickr and Vimeo by way of an instant log in. It's important to remember also, as Gurman points out, that any feature currently in testing could still be removed prior to the release of iOS 7. Interesting stuff, for sure. Do either of these two social options get you excited?

Flickr and Vimeo integration rumored for iOS 7
What would excite me is the ability to pick which network(s) to share with, rather than have Apple pick an immutable list of favorites.
Yep, this. Rather than cherry picking a couple apps here and there to grant system level access (regardless of popularity), maybe let apps talk to each other, so WE can pick what to share with which app. They don't need to grant system level access to every app, just let them talk to each other. And no, the current sharing solution isn't sufficient (the app has to be programmed to allow sharing with certain other ones), I want an app to be able to see what other apps are on the phone, and let me choose any of them that I want to share with, not what's predetermined in the app itself.
Android legitimately does this better. Surely iOS can do a least a lite form of it without hurting stability, right?
Wow we're in a bad mood tonight.
....because the author of the story asked for our opinions about iOS 7 and obscure video services (that few people use) with greater sharing services than others, when a better solution (that many people have asked for in iOS 7, including several iMore writers) is to just allow apps greater freedom to share information with each other? Seems pretty on topic to me. Calling it troll drivel without addressing the content is a pretty dang childish and dare i say "trollish" remark. (Not to mention, what the heck made you so hostile this evening?)
Now that i answered your question, it is your turn to answer mine.
Viveo and Flickr not on my lists of wants. On a related matter though twitter and facebook are welcome i honestly am fine accessing them through apps and never use the "integration."

- Cost may have been what brought down a Congressional proposal to boost telework in the federal government. Kate Corrigan of public policy group Workplace Flexibility 2010, says perception the Telework Improvements Act would cost too much caused its downfall in the House last week. The Congressional Budget Office has pegged the bill's price tag at $32-million dollars between this year and 2015. Corrigan was cited in Government Executive and made her comments at a New America Foundation event on Thursday.
- Federal agencies may soon need to post contract documents on the Web. The civilian and defense acquisition councils are calling for public comments on how to make it happen, and whether it should be a requirement. The move is designed to boost transparency, but with online posting comes concern of compromising proprietary and confidential information about contractors. The councils are asking for ideas on that as well.
- Interior Secretary Ken Salazar has named two officials to oversee a restructuring of the Minerals Management Service. Salazar said earlier this week he would split the agency in two divisions. One to oversea offshore drilling safety, and one to collect oil and gas royalties. Managing the overhaul will be Rhea Suh, assistant Interior Secretary for policy, management and budget; and Chris Henderson, a senior adviser to Salazar. California Senator Dianne Feinstein, chairwoman of the Senate Appropriations Interior subcommittee, said she'll convene a hearing on the restructuring plan.
- More trouble for Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Alan Bersin. Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus of Montana expressed doubts about Bersin during a confirmation hearing yesterday, according to GovExec. At issue is Bersin's initial failure to disclose the number of household workers he had hired, and the workers' lack of I-9 forms. Baucus said the issue goes the heart of Bersin's job at CBP. Bersin has said he didn't know he's required by law to complete a form saying he verified that his household employees were eligible to work in the U.S. Members of the Senate Finance Committee say they are surprised by that, because Bersin was a U.S. attorney.
- Discounts for buying with cash? The Senate has approved a measure to curtail so-called swipe fees that financial companies charge retailers for debit card transactions. The vote was 64 to 33. The measure would give the Federal Reserve the power to regulate swipe fees, and empower retailers to give discounts to customers using cash or debit cards. Illinois Senator Dick Durbin called the debit card fees outrageous. Meanwhile, Senators also approve a bill to give the SEC oversight of bond rating agencies.
- Lawmakers have their wings clipped. Leadership in the House is overhauling the rules for members and staff who travel overseas on official government business. The Wall Street Journal reports new rules forbid premium class seats on shorter flights, and they ban use of taxpayer funds to buy gifts. No longer will members be able to keep unspent cash. Use of military aircraft is still okay, though. The new rules were proposed by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the first big changes in 30 years.
- Recovery.gov has moved into a public cloud, a move that could save more than $700,000 dollars over the next two fiscal years. The Recovery Board's main contractor, Smartronix, has chosen Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud service. Leaders say the move will them meet their mission for accountability and transparency without concern for underlying data center and computer equipment.
- The Environmental Protection Agency has a new weapon in the fight against radioactive contamination at a Los Angeles-area lab: Mules. The EPA will use four mules to carry high-tech scanning equipment to detect radiation on steep and rocky terrain at the Santa Susana Field Laboratory. The EPA is conducting a survey of soil and water contamination at the lab near Simi Valley, where rocket engines were tested for years and a partial meltdown of a nuclear reactor took place in 1959. About 500 acres of the lab will be scanned for gamma radiation. Results will be turned over to the state, which is overseeing a cleanup.

WASHINGTON, D.C., May 29, 2008 – Dr. Charles A. Cannon was named President and CEO of RMA. He has served in that role on an interim basis since February.
"Next January, a new administration in Washington will present new challenges and new opportunities. We are adamant in our belief that the tire and rubber industry needs to be prepared for January 2009 and the days and months that follow," said James MacMaster, Chairman of the RMA Board of Directors (Yokohama Tire Corporation). "For that reason, the RMA Executive Committee is in agreement that Charlie Cannon is clearly the right person to be the RMA CEO."
Cannon got his start in Washington on the staff of the House Appropriations Committee followed by several years with United Technologies Washington, D.C. office. He has managed Cannon Consultants, Inc., for the last twenty years, serving such diverse clients as Los Alamos National Laboratory, The National Audubon Society and the California Energy Commission.
Dr. Cannon also has served as CEO for Land Mine Detection Systems, Inc., was co-founder and Vice President for New Product Development Consortium, a venture capital consortium, and he was Executive Vice-President for the Composting Council and the Composting Council Research and Education Foundation.
Cannon earned his PhD from Stanford University, an MA from Rice University, and a BA from Columbia University.
"On behalf of RMA's Executive Committee, let me say how excited we are over the prospect of Charlie Cannon leading the RMA as our CEO," MacMaster said. "We believe that his leadership will help us build a stronger and more vibrant RMA."
"I am looking forward to working with RMA's members to address the many challenging issues facing this industry, Cannon said. "This is a unique and exhilarating opportunity for me and I am thrilled at the prospect of continuing to work with an industry with such a long and distinguished history."

Edmonds teen helps Vietnam catch baseball fever

Chris Tanner (right) and some of his fellow coaches offer instruction before a group of youth baseball players in Hanoi, Vietnam.
Photo by Marc Brown
Chris Tanner (back row, white shirt) poses for a team photo with a group of youth baseball players he helped instruct in Hanoi, Vietnam.
But much has happened in the half-century since the United States was at war in Southeast Asia. With the passing years, peace has come to Vietnam.
And something else has come, too. The most American of pastimes, baseball.
The Vietnamese, it seems, are catching baseball fever. The country is still a long ways from international prominence, but in the meantime American baseball ambassadors are helping Vietnamese youngsters to learn and love the game.
One of those ambassadors is 18-year-old Chris Tanner of Edmonds, a senior at Meadowdale High School. In February, Tanner made his second trip to Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, where he joined others from the Puget Sound area in coaching kids ages 6 to 14.
During his weeklong stay, it became very clear to Tanner that Vietnamese youngsters "love baseball. They're really passionate about it. It's grown on them and become kind of their way of life."
The trip was organized by Phil Rognier of Medina, the executive director of the FirstSwing Foundation, which conducts baseball camps and clinics for youngsters in and around Seattle (Tanner was a FirstSwing participant as a younger boy, and later got into coaching). One of Rognier's acquaintances -- an American who lives in Vietnam with his native wife and their children -- had asked if he would bring coaches there to help develop the game.
The first trip was three years ago, when Tanner was a Meadowdale freshman, and he found it so successful and meaningful that he jumped at the chance to go again this year. It helped that all expenses were covered by corporate contributions.
"It was an awesome experience to go over there," Tanner said. "The first time it was like, 'Wow, we're in Vietnam and I get to meet all these cool people.' But this time it was more like, 'I'm here to coach baseball, but I'm also here to enrich their lives and teach them there are life lessons to be taken away from baseball and applied (to daily living)."
Though the Vietnamese are still fairly new at baseball, "I think they could compete with a lot of (youth) teams here," he added. "They're dedicated and they've been practicing for the past three or four years.
"They're pretty good at fielding. Pitching, they're pretty good at that, and they have some (good hitters), too. So all around, they're decent."
You might wonder what the Vietnamese think of Americans, given the war between the two countries in the 1960s. But Tanner discovered that "people were very open to us, even on the streets. The war was never really an issue. We were definitely told not to bring up in touchy subjects just to avoid any conflicts, but they never really asked us anything (about the war)."
Still, there were reminders. The hotel used by Tanner and his companions abutted the Maison Centrale, a former prison more commonly known as the Hanoi Hilton, where American POWs were held captive during the war. Much of the prison has been demolished, but the gatehouse remains as a museum, and Tanner and the others in his party took a tour.
The visit, Tanner said, "was kind of surreal. We were walking around in a place where Americans had been held captive, so that was kind of a weird thing. It was interesting, but you also knew that people had died there."
Vietnamese children are much too young to remember the war, of course. Their understanding of the United States comes mostly from American movies and music, which they enjoy. Tanner, in fact, was surprised by the extent of their knowledge.
"American music and pop culture is pretty big in Vietnam," he said. As is Kentucky Fried Chicken, the fast food of choice.
But what the young Vietnamese baseball players seemed to appreciate most of all was the chance to learn an American game from American coaches.
"I think they definitely felt like they were getting special treatment," Tanner said. "The first time there we kind of felt like rock stars. They knew that our visit was something special, that it wasn't going to happen (often), and I think they were trying to soak in as much information as they could."
For Tanner, visiting Vietnam "was just an amazing opportunity that not a lot of people get to do even once, and I got to do it twice," he said. "I had the chance to have an impact on these kids' lives through the game of baseball."

Dog Immunotherapy Treatment
Dog Immunotherapy Treatment
Treatments that stimulate the body's immune system have been used for many years. These treatments are called immunotherapy. In the past they were primarily used for fighting viruses and bacteria. In recent years, scientists have realized the value of immunotherapy for protecting the body in other situations. One of these is cancer. It is also used to fight cancer. Although there are many immunotherapy treatment options available, some are still in the trial stages and are considered experimental.
Hemangiosarcoma of the spleen
There is a substance called L-MTP-PE which is a synthetic bacterial wall component that has been proven in trials and has shown some promise. This is specifically for Dog Spleen Tumor or spleen hemangiosarcoma and is used in combination with Dog Cancer Chemotherapy. The pets in the study had either stage 1 or stage 2 carcinoma. Those who received the L-MTP-PE had a significantly better reaction than those that received the placebo. Although survival rate is still limited, it can be slightly prolonged with its use.
Vaccines for Cancer Therapy
Vaccines are hopefully twofold. By stimulating the immune system your dog can fight the disease. The other goal is to improve your dog's immune system enough so that there is less of a chance of recurrence or development of cancer in an otherwise healthy dog. In dogs that have already had some form of cancer treatment, the vaccines are used to kill any remaining cancer cells. It is the hope of the scientists that are developing these vaccines that contain cancer-specific molecules , that the vaccine will assist dogs in fighting the malignant cells without doing damage to any of their healthy cells.
Vaccine for melanomas of the mouth in dogs
In 2007 the US Department of Agriculture gave conditional approval to scientists for a DNA vaccine which fought canine melanoma of the mouth. This was a first for the government. The Animal medical Center of New York in conjunction with Sloan Kettering, developed the vaccine. It was shown to extend the life span in any state of Dog Oral Melanoma. Another significant point to present is the fact that the vaccine is administered without a needle. Instead a new transdermal (through the skin) device was developed. The protocol is administered every two weeks for a total of four treatments. The dog will then receive boosters every six months. The vaccine received full approval in just three years. In 2010 it was granted full approval by the Department of Agriculture for prevention of oral melanoma.
Monoclonal Antibodies
These special proteins are developed in laboratories. They will bind to molecules within the dog's body and also on cancer cells. There is a large variety of monoclonal antibodies. Each one is designed to find a specific molecule.
Although some of these treatments have been approved for use in humans, there are none currently approved specifically for cancer treatment in dogs.
Research into studies is available in depth on the internet. The most important step you can take when considering treatment of any type of Dog Cancer is to develop a good relationship with your veterinary oncologist. In this way you can form a team of caregivers for your beloved dog. While one may be handling day to day care, the other can handle problems specifically dealing with your dog's cancer.

Aristotle International, the leading political intelligence provider in the U.S., and WealthEngine™, Inc., provider of sophisticated wealth identification and prospect research solutions, announced today a partnership to provide what is anticipated to be the most effective political donor prospecting platform in the industry.
The WealthEngine-Aristotle software integration allows fundraisers to access donor and prospect profiles, including powerful wealth ratings and scores from WealthEngine, within Aristotle's widely used Aristotle 360 platform.
"Aristotle brings years of experience and a proven track record of providing innovative technology and services to the political market," explains Tony Glowacki, President and CEO of WealthEngine. "It's an exciting collaboration and we are eager to start working with Aristotle to offer clients a more streamlined and analytical approach to fundraising. The integration blends information known by the organization – gift history, voter data, PACS, and more – with demographic and wealth insight to provide a better understanding of donors and prospects. Our wealth scores offer immediate direction on whom to target and at what gift level so no opportunity is ever lost or undervalued. Every campaign can now segment and target all of their donors and prospects with greater assurance and speed."
Aristotle clients will be able to effectively tap WealthEngine's 'wealth networks' to cultivate and steward the most valuable and likely donors to their candidate, party or cause.
"Aristotle is the premier technology provider in politics. This partnership will be very good for Aristotle customers who need to raise the most money possible." said Bill Armistead, Chairman of the Alabama Republican Party. Before assuming the Chairmanship of the party, Armistead's business success included developing sophisticated CRM solutions for the banking industry.
Aristotle's voter database, containing more than 500 demographic elements and updated with the new 2012 redistricting lines based on the U.S. Census, is widely used for political and advocacy messaging.
"One advantage to using the WealthEngine data within Aristotle's 360 software, is centralizing all your data and software in one location," said Democratic fundraiser and founder of Bulldog Finance Group, Scott Dworkin. "There is a growing demand for increased data and technology integration, for one seamless, streamlined operation. That's what they've done."
"We're delighted to launch this partnership with WealthEngine," said Aristotle CEO John Aristotle Phillips. "Our mission at Aristotle has always been to provide the most innovative and powerful tools to those seeking to influence decisions at the ballot box.
"We have a series of partnerships and new technology releases scheduled in 2013. It's a very big year for Aristotle and, most importantly, for our clients."

Comments about Shimano XT M770 Quick Release Skewer:
So much better than external cam skewers. They clamp with much more force much more easily, making them easier to get on and off and more secure. I have noticed they don't fit on bike trainers, but that's why trainers come with an extra skewer.

Comments about Shimano XT M770 Quick Release Skewer:
Shimano's XT skewers are arguably some of the best in the business. You can't go wrong with these, especially for the money. I used these to cure a problem I had with a rear wheel of a hard tail MTB slipping in the drop out, when on the brakes going over roots etc. These clamp very positively, in my opinion because of their solid internal cam system (whereas others use and external ramp that rides a plastic shim).

PULLMAN, Wash. -- Jahii Carson scored 25 points, 21 in the second half, and Arizona State defeated Washington State 63-59 on Thursday night for its third straight victory.
Evan Gordon had 13 points and Carrick Felix had 11 points -- all in the second half -- and 11 rebounds for the Sun Devils (17-4, 6-2 Pac-12), who overcame 4-for-11 free-throw shooting and a nine-point Washington State first-half lead.
Royce Woolridge scored 16 points -- 15 after halftime -- to lead the Cougars (11-10, 2-6). Mike Ladd had 14 points, and Brock Motum matched Felix with 11 points and 11 boards. Dexter Kernich-Drew scored 10 points for Washington State.
The Sun Devils are 6-2 in the conference for the first time since 1994, and are off to their best start since 1981, when ASU began 19-2 behind Byron Scott, Fat Lever and Alton Lister.
Neither team led by more than nine points in the game, which featured 10 lead changes, and Washington State was ahead 28-24 at halftime.
ASU was ahead 58-51 but Woolridge had five points in a 7-0 run that drew the Cougars even.
Carson's three-point play put the Sun Devils back on top, and after a Cougar free throw, Carson scored with 16 seconds to play for the final margin.
Carson and Felix accounted for all but five of Arizona State's second-half points.
The Sun Devils committed only four turnovers in the game -- none by guards Carson, Felix and Gordon. Washington State was 7 of 14 from 3-point range in the first half but just 2 of 9 the rest of the way.

Most people know if they pick up the phone and dial 911, someone will come. But what happens in between? Delaware County officials are hoping to peel back some of the mystery.
The Delaware County Emergency Services Office is accepting applicants for a citizen's academy, in which participants will learn about the 911 process from start to finish. The once-weekly classes start 7 p.m. this Tuesday, Oct. 11 and run through Nov. 22.
The citizen's academy is similar to that offered by the Delaware Police Department, but this is the program's first year. Organizers hope to give citizens a richer appreciation of how the system works, as well as form partnerships with the community, said Delaware County EMS Chief Rob Farmer.
"I strongly believe that you should know what you get when you move somewhere, and you should know what services are provided to you as a citizen in your community," Farmer said.
Participants will receive a tour of the Delaware County 911 center, learn about how paramedics and firefighters are trained, as well as how and when everything is coordinated through the Delaware County Emergency Management Agency. The program will culminate with participants working through an emergency training scenario with 911 calls being made all the way up to managing the scene.
All participants will also receive training in first-aid and CPR, and will leave with certification from the American Heart Association if they successfully complete the program.
"We want to be sure that you'll be able to walk away at the end and maybe use some of the things that you learned here," Farmer said.
Registration is free and open to all Delaware County residents 21 years and older.
The county has space for 12 people in the program; seats are still available. To apply, call the EMS administrative office at 740-833-2190 or email paramedic Travis Ries at email@example.com.

Sometimes my very favorite gadgets that I stumble across online are not necessarily the most high-tech or flashy looking ones out there. Sometimes I love them because they're downright hilarious. I recently came across a simple little gadget that made me chuckle called the Cup Shitsuki humidifier. It looks just like a cup of noodles! I mean, who doesn't love a cup of noodles now and then, right?
Living in Utah the air out here is extremely dry, especially during the winter. This tiny, portable little humidifier is perfect for setting on your desk to help keep things at a more tropical level during the bitter winter days. It has an ultraviolet germicidal lamp which helps prevent bacteria growth, keeping things sanitary, and it is ultrasonic so there is no danger of burns or a fire. There are two neat little sliding stands on the bottom of the cup that you can pull out to make it more sturdy to prevent it from falling over on your desk. The humidifier will even stop automatically when the water runs out so you don't need to keep checking the level. It can be powered either via AC adapter or USB, so it can go wherever you go.
The Cup Shitsuki humidifier is a little quirky and different from your mainstream high-tech gadgets, but that's why I get such a kick out of it. Not only that, it is totally useful! I definitely need to get one as a new fixture on my work desk.

Cat Fleas
Cat Fleas (Feline Flea infestations)
Signs and Symptoms
Cat fleas, or Ctenocephalides felis, are tiny, wingless insects. While their size might make them appear harmless, cat fleas can actually wreak havoc for your cat and household. These pesky external parasites can cause mild to severe itching and can be an all-around nuisance. However, for your feline friend, fleas can be far more than just a source of annoyance; they can actually put your cat's health at risk. When uncontrolled, flea infestations can lead to health problems such as skin infections and anemia. Furthermore, these insects are also capable of transmitting diseases and tapeworms to your pet. For these reasons, and also in order to prevent your cat from suffering through unnecessary misery, it's important to catch a flea infestation as early on as possible so that it can be promptly and effectively dealt with.
When keeping an eye out for a possible flea problem, there are a number of telltale signs and symptoms that will serve as red flags. Since the primary and most common symptom of flea bites is itchiness, frequent scratching and biting are the behaviors most typically displayed by flea infested cats. Often, these behaviors will be directed predominantly at the head and neck areas, as these are the places where fleas tend to congregate and bite the host animal. Upon inspection of your cat's skin, you may find that there are little red bumps in the areas where your cat has been scratching. These are the sites of the flea bites. Also, due to the frequent scratching and biting, your cat's skin may become red and inflamed in areas.
You may also be able to uncover more direct evidence of a flea presence. Flea dirt may be visible on your cat's skin as well as on its bedding. Flea dirt looks like tiny dark specks and is actually flea excrement made up of a combination of digested blood and other flea waste products. Finally, you may actually be able to spot the fleas themselves as they move about on your cat's skin. If you comb through your pet's fur and see tiny black dots scurrying for cover, you will have found fleas.
Some cats react more severely to the presence of fleas due to a hypersensitivity to flea saliva. This leads to a condition referred to as Cat Flea Allergy Dermatitis, which can inflict extreme misery on your pet. If your cat suffers from a flea allergy, the typical symptoms will be present, but to the extreme. The biting and scratching will usually become compulsive for hypersensitive cats, even leading to hair loss and bald spots. Hot spots and a skin disease known as miliary dermatitis may also develop due to the continuous and harsh skin irritation. Furthermore, a cat with this condition may end up with lip ulcers.
While in some circumstances, flea dirt and the actual fleas themselves may be noticeable on a cat with a flea allergy this will not always be the case. This is due to the fact that even one or two fleas are sufficient to cause significant and even extreme irritation in an animal with a hypersensitivity to flea bites. Whether your cat seems to be allergic to fleas or is just troubled by these insects in the regular manner, it's important to consult with a veterinarian so the problem can be dealt with quickly in order to prevent continuation of your pet's misery and also to protect its well-being.
Since a diagnosis of cat fleas is typically based upon clinical signs and the presence of fleas or flea dirt, a physical examination is the main diagnostic method employed under such circumstances. In addition to checking for symptoms and direct evidence of a flea presence, the veterinarian will also want to know about the behaviors and warning signs that you have observed at home. In most cases, the information supplied by these steps will be sufficient for a diagnosis to be reached. In some circumstances where flea allergy dermatitis is suspected, a skin test may be conducted in order to evaluate your cat's reaction to flea proteins. This type of test can help to confirm a diagnosis of a hypersensitivity to flea saliva.
Since a flea infestation is capable of causing anemia, especially in kittens, further testing may be necessary in some cases in order to check for this condition. When evaluating a cat for anemia, a veterinarian will look at its gums, as an anemic cat's gums tend to be pale, without their typical, healthy pink colour. Blood tests may also be conducted to confirm the presence of anemia.
Fleas are wingless external parasites that feed upon the blood (hematophagy) of mammals and birds. While there are over two thousand different types of fleas, the most common in North America is the cat flea or Ctenocephalides felis. While cat fleas will infest a number of different animals, including dogs and rabbits, its primary host is, as the name suggests, the domestic cat. Adult fleas are between one and three millimeters in length and tend to be reddish-brown or black in colour. They have tube-like mouthparts for feeding and powerful hind legs that allow them to run and jump. In fact, the special design of their hind legs allows fleas to jump distances of up to nearly two hundred times their own body length.
A flea's lifecycle lasts for between thirty and seventy-five days and consists of complete metamorphosis involving four stages — embryo, larva, pupa, and adult. Flea eggs are tiny and white and easily fall off the host animal into the surrounding environment. Since flea eggs are so small, they are very difficult to see without the aid of a magnifying glass or microscope. Adult fleas, on the other hand, are large enough to be seen with the naked eye. During their adult phase, cat fleas remain on the host animal where they use their mouthparts to feed upon fresh blood. Since one flea is capable of taking fifteen times its body weight in blood from the host during the flea's lifespan, it's not surprising that an infestation of these insects can lead to anemia, especially in kittens or weakened cats.
When fleas bite a cat to feed upon its blood, the sites of the bites become irritated. This occurs due to the presence of irritating enzymes and proteins contained in flea saliva. When cats suffer from a flea allergy, it's actually the flea saliva that they are hypersensitive to. Even in cats that aren't allergic to the components of flea saliva, bites from these external parasites are still very irritating and uncomfortable.
Cats pick up fleas from the surrounding environment and/or from other animals already infested with these external parasites. Adult fleas only make up approximately five percent of the entire flea population, with the rest existing in the egg, larval, or pupal phases. One adult female flea can lay up to five hundred eggs, and these eggs often fall off the host animal and into the grass, bedding, carpet, or other parts of the surrounding environment. After these eggs hatch and the fleas develop into adults, it's easy for them to hop onto your cat, either from the environment or another animal. Since one flea can lay so many eggs, it's understandable how a flea infestation can become a big problem in a short amount of time.
If your cat is infested with fleas, it will take more than just treating your pet for parasites to effectively deal with the problem. Simply ridding your cat of the adult fleas that are living on it at the time will not put an end to the infestation, as eggs will still be present in the surrounding environment. These eggs will eventually hatch and adult fleas will infest your cat once again. In order to treat your household, it helps to vacuum regularly. When doing so, make sure to cover all surfaces where there could be eggs, including on upholstered furniture, under cushions, under furniture, and along baseboards. It's also important to discard any bedding that is thoroughly infested and to keep other bedding clean. This can be done by washing the bedding in hot water, followed by a long and hot cycle in the dryer.
In order to get rid of the fleas living on your cat and to treat the irritating symptoms of flea bites, there are a number of treatments available. Some traditional forms of treatment include anti-flea medications and medicated shampoos. There are also all-natural products available that can be used to prevent and treat cat fleas. Homeopathic treatments utilize a variety of natural ingredients to achieve quality results. Natural substances that may be found in such products include pennyroyal and neem, which act as natural insecticides. Furthermore, sweet mace and lemongrass oil act as insect repellents while rosemary and aloe soothe the skin and reduce inflammation. No matter what type of treatment you prefer to use, it's always a good idea to consult with a veterinarian first in order to ensure the best possible results for you and your pet.

Cinema Gallery
Editor's Review
In a classic case of an old building finding a new purpose, in 2001 downtown Urbana's shuttered movie theater was transformed into this art gallery -- the front lobby of the theater, that is. The back part of the building has been renovated into offices. Originally built as Busey's Hall opera house in 1870, the structure became the Princess Theater in 1915. Now it's Carolyn Baxley's Cinema Gallery, which sells an eclectic mix of art. More than 50 professional artists from central Illinois, including faculty members from several universities and colleges, sell their work at Cinema Gallery. Their media range from ceramics and metal sculptures to all sorts of paintings. Their styles range from pretty landscapes to cutting-edge images with touches of surrealism and abstract art.Cinema Gallery, which puts up different individual and group art shows every four to six weeks, makes creative use of the old space, displaying paintings in every nook and cranny, including some stairways that seem to lead nowhere. Both the art and the space make for interesting exploring.
