DOG HEALTH So you have your new puppy picked out. There are quite a few shots, treatments and examinations that will keep the newest member of your family healthy.
DOG FUN Walking your dog is not only crucial to keeping him healthy and happy, it strengthens the bond between your canine friend and his caregiver. There are a lot of obstacles out there. Don't forget these simple tips to keep your walk fun and safe in the outside world.
HEALTH The same techniques that physiotherapists use to treat a variety of injuries and conditions in humans have been adapted to suit animals with great success. Family pets, show dogs, and working dogs can all benefit greatly from physiotherapy. Dogs whose activities involve a lot of agility are especially susceptible to the types of problems that physiotherapy can address.
FIRST TIME OWNERSBringing a dog into your family is a decision where many people don't realize it's magnitude until after they have the dog. There are a number of things that you need to research before you decide to purchase a dog, and it starts right in your own home.
HEALTH Many believe that a dog and a new baby cannot happily coexist, so therefore the dog has to go. This is not necessarily the case. A new baby does not mean you have to abandon your dog.
DOG TRAINING It's not enough to simply walk the dog through the front door and hope he will acclimate to his new surroundings; you have to teach him how to interact with the new people and items in his environment.
PET-NEWSWORTHY If you're considering adding a pet to your home in 2015, you're in very good company. As many as 71.4 million homes are expected to include a pet in 2015. According to the American Pet Product Association, pet families have increased from 56% of households in 1988 to 62% this year.
FIRST TIME OWNERS When you bring a new puppy into your home, it's a time of great excitement for everyone involved: you, your kids, your neighbors, and even the dog. Here's our guide on what to expect and how to handle the transition without losing your mind.

Complete contrast is the only way to describe it.
This time a year ago, Shania Hutton was in a coma, on life
support in Dunedin Hospital. Now, she is playing outdoors in
the summer sun, having the most memorable holiday she can
It has been just over a year since the 11-year-old was almost
killed when she was hit by a car on a pedestrian crossing
near her Riselaw Rd home.
The accident, in December 2011, left Shania with serious head
and lung injuries, and doctors initially told her family she
was unlikely to survive.
Shania spent six months in Dunedin Hospital and the Wilson
Centre in Auckland, where she received rehabilitation and
She was able to return home last June.
Shania's mother, Jane, said the family's summer holidays
included visiting the family dairy farm at Clydevale, as well
as Central Otago.
Shania has no recollection of anything that happened from the
week before her accident until last April.
''I'm annoyed I slept through last Christmas and the
''But I'm making up for it this year.''
She was having what she called ''a hunormous'' holiday, doing
most of the things ''normal'' girls do on holiday.
Mrs Hutton said Shania's health had improved ''out of sight''
but she still had a long way to go.
''She's improving steadily. She's very stubborn - that's why
she's come so far.''
Fatigue was still a major challenge. Just doing a short day
trip left her tired for the rest of the week. So the family
had been taking life slowly.
''Life's so different now,'' Mrs Hutton said.
''Little things are now huge and exciting events.''

Pharrell Williams Joins The Apollo Theater's Board Of Directors
Originally posted on AllHipHop:
Pharrell Williams is continuing to one of the best years of his career. Besides his single "Happy" taking on a life of its own and becoming a worldwide hit, Pharrell's become a judge on The Voice, released a collection with the clothing line Uniqlo, released a unisex fragrance named after his album G I R L, been nominated for a Oscar and the list goes on. Now, it has been reported that Pharrell has joined the board of directors of the famous Apollo Theater.
"Pharrell represents the DNA of the Apollo board," said Jonelle Procope, the theater's president. "If the Apollo were an artist it would be Pharrell."

A$AP Rocky: SVDDXNLY – Part 4/5
In part 4 of the SVDDXNLY Documentary the fans get another in-depth look at ASAP Rocky's life, celebrity mentors, and friends. ASAP speaks fluently about his humble perspective and opinion about life. I identify with ASAP's motto of doing right by himself and always doing what he feels is right. The Harlem rapper speaks his truths while immersed in an atmosphere that some would consider negative. There's weed in every scene or at least some type of reference to it.

GRAFFITI LIFE: Chris Brown Tags Famous L.A. Gas Station, Releases "X" Tracklisting (PHOTOS)
Originally posted on Global Grind:
Chris Brown is back on his art flow!
The 25-year-old singer took a break from feeding Team Breezy new music, and decided to get back to something else he loves – graffiti art!
Breezy visited Norm's 76 by the Sunset strip in L.A., a famous gas station in the city, and he tagged up the place with some of his best work yet.
TMZ caught some video of the singer tagging the wall, and Breezy even posted a photo of the final result to his Instagram while captioning it:

Teyana Taylor "Maybe" (NEW VIDEO)
Originally posted on Global Grind:
Songstress Teyana Taylor has finally released the video for her single "Maybe," and it oozes sex appeal.
Using a series of wigs and costume changes, G.O.O.D. Music's leading lady portrays three different female characters with the same goal: to lure men into her diabolical hands. She plays herself in an all-black get-up and a wig of long kinky curls, as well as "Jacqueline Mercury" in a fiery red wig and matching cat suit, and finally, "Greyla Greathouse" in a seductive bra and panty set complete with a gray purple wig.
In the preview, Ms. Taylor previously said she was going for a "sexy, underworld type of a feeling."
It's not just a video the guys will enjoy, there's a little eye-candy in there for you too, ladies. Philadelphia Eagles Linebacker Mychal Kendricks plays the suave, romantic love interest, and they share a smooch at the end of the video.
Hit that play…

Michael Brown Shooting Police Report Released But Fails To Give Insight (DETAILS)
Originally posted on Global Grind:
Nearly two weeks after the fatal shooting of Michael Brown the police report has finally been made public.
Since the fatal shooting of the unarmed Ferguson teen people around the country have been speculating why authorities refused to release the report. Now that it has finally been released, people are noticing the glaring lack of details in the report, increasing criticism that law-enforcement is covering for officer Darren Wilson.
The incident report, filed by the St. Louis County police department, contains no new information on what exactly occurred between Brown and Wilson. There are no written details about the event in the actual report. As a result, the officer's account of what transpired when the two men met that day still remains a mystery.
According to Brian Schellman, a spokesman for the St. Louis County police department, it could remain that way for some time. Schellman says the department doesn't intend to…

The Rangers will be without their leading hitter, Josh Hamilton, who has been scratched from the lineup, presumably to deal with a leg injury.

You've decided to open your own law office and are ready for your clients' cases, but are you also ready to handle the tax issues that go hand-in-hand with running your own business?
Here's an overview of some tax issues to keep in mind when starting your law practice:
Opening a law practice is like opening any other business. Always consult with a certified public accountant (CPA) or other tax adviser before you decide on the form of enterprise (i.e., corporation, partnership, or sole proprietorship), set up an accounting method, or hire employees.
For more on these tax matters and everything else you need to know about opening a law practice, turn to CEB's California Basic Practice Handbook, chapter 1, a must-have for anyone new to practice or going solo. And although you may not think of yourself as an employer, once you start a practice and hire someone to work for you (e.g., legal assistant, administrative assistant), you've stepped into that role and need to be up on employment-related issues with CEB's Advising California Employers and Employees.
If you're new to practice or going solo, check out CEB's Basics Conference coming up in September with a session on how to get your law practice up and running.

Did you know that India is home to nearly 35 thousand urban slums? These slums house nearly 10 million Indians: this is a population that lacks sanitation, clean drinking water and electricity. If you didn't know this, you aren't alone. Most Banks, NGOs and businesses too don't know this or refuse to acknowledge this. "Nobody believed us when we said these communities existed. They said we were trying to solve a problem that wasn't there," says Monique Alfris, a Co-Founder at Pollinate Energy, as she speaks with Lakshmi Rebecca.
Based in Bangalore, Pollinate Energy a social enterprise that is run by a team of young Australians. This is a business that is currently manufacturing solar powered lamps that also functions as a mobile phone charger.
With a background in Micro finance, renewable energy and economics the Pollinate team aims to provide cost effective solutions to those living in urban slums, who in Bangalore alone exceed 14 thousand in number.
In this video of Chai with Lakshmi, we look at a section of Indian society whose very existence isn't known to the much of the nation. What makes this story even more amazing is the fact these aren't just solutions that are cost efficient, they are solutions that have a longstanding impact on the 14 thousand plus slum dwellers Bangalore city is unaware of.

That Wasn't an Earthquake
by Camden Avery
neighborhoodsUpper Haight
Wondering why your apartment's been vibrating? From yesterday until July 8, Haight Street between Cole and Clayton is going to be more or less inaccessible to cars.
It's also going to smell. Why?
Because DPW is replacing the sewer main.
So for the love of god, don't give up that parking space. And don't fall down the hole. Fingers crossed they're done on time.

Hormel launches SpammyPublished 10:29am Thursday, March 31, 2011
Spammy has launched and is ready to go.
Hormel Foods Corp. introduced the nutritional turkey spread Spammy at its annual shareholders meeting in February, and the company announced today that it will commit to providing 1 million cans of the product in 2011 to fight hunger throughout the world, and specifically in Guatemala.
"Hormel Foods sought to create a product high in protein to help serve malnourished and poverty-stricken communities worldwide," said Jeff Ettinger, chairman of the board, president and chief executive officer at Hormel Foods. "Our company has years of experience in creating shelf-stable proteins, so we employed our expertise to create this new product."
Spammy, only intended for the use through the anti-hunger program, is fortified with vitamins and minerals. The high protein composition of the treat was specifically created to provide nourishment to those experiencing the effects of malnourishment.
Hormel, which has made a three-year commitment to distribute the product, is pairing with the international humanitarian organizations Food for the Poor and Caritas Arquidiocesana in the effort. Food for the Poor is a relief and development organization that raises funds and provides direct relief assistance to the poor in Latin America and the Caribbean, and Caritas Arquidiocesana is a charity committed to combating poverty.
Guatemala was selected because its poverty rate is more than 50 percent and the chronic malnutrition rate is the highest in the Western hemisphere, according to a company press release.
"Through our partnership with Hormel Foods, we are able to provide much-needed protein to the women and children of Guatemala, and we are already seeing progress," said Robin Mahfood, president and chief executive officer for Food For The Poor. "The children who eat Spammy are more active, their grades are improving, and overall, they are happier and healthier."
To ensure the product was delivering the results it was designed for, Hormel has been distributing the product in Guatemala for about 18 months to family centers and orphanages, according to Julie Craven, vice president of corporate communications. In addition, Hormel worked with Food for the Poor and donated more than 100,000 cans of Spammy to Haiti after the earthquake in January 2010.
Silgan Containers and Smyth Companies, two long-time suppliers of Hormel Foods, are supporting the cause by donating all of the cans and labels for Spammy.
Hormel Foods and Food For The Poor created a website to allow individuals to contribute to the Spammy program. All donations through the website will go directly and fully to Food for the Poor to purchase Spammy fortified turkey spread at cost from Hormel. The product then will be shipped by Food for the Poor to Guatemala and distributed at the orphanages, day care centers, nutritional centers and family centers within the Caritas Arquidiocesana network.
To make a donation, visit www.hormelfoods.com/responsibility/hunger.

Chinese city of Nanchang using dogs to predict earthquakes
Published on May 7, 2013 4:41 PM
BEIJING (AFP) - A Chinese city is using dogs to predict earthquakes, an official said on Tuesday, after state-run media reported that neighbours were complaining of nightly false alarms - in the form of barking.
China is regularly hit by seismic tremors. Around 200 people were left dead or missing by a quake in Sichuan province last month, and hundreds of thousands have been killed in major disasters in the past.
The earthquake authority of Nanchang, the capital of Jiangxi province in the east, keeps dogs since they will "act abnormally when an earthquake is coming", sometimes up to 10 days in advance, an official surnamed Song told AFP.
The bureau used the dogs at the request of the provincial government, he added, saying that chickens and ducks could be effective as well.

Bulldogs, Archers roll back Filoil opponents
LA SALLE'S stellar rookie class lived up to its billing while Ray Parks came through in the clutch for National University as the two squads survived separate thrillers yesterday at the start of Filoil Flying V Hanes Premier Cup.
Filipino-American Jason Perkins debuted with a double-double of 17 points and 13 rebounds as the Green Archers rallied to hack out a 73-67 decision of the University of Santo Tomas Tigers.
Parks knocked in 23 points—including a triple from the right wing with 2.5 seconds left that forged overtime—to lift the Bulldogs past the NCAA champion San Beda Lions, 73-71, in the first game at Filoil Flying V Arena.
"This season is for my dad, I dedicate my game to him," said Parks, who wore the No. 22 jersey in memory of his late father, seven-time Best PBA Import Bobby Parks.
Parks scored four of the Bulldogs' nine points in the extra period, while Cameroonian center Alfred Aroga also delivered with 16 points, 12 rebounds and a block.
Perkins fueled a 15-5 windup in the final five minutes as the Archers downed the Tigers, last season's UAAP finalists.
Gabby Reyes added 13 points while Jeron Teng and Almond Vosotros scored 10 each for the Archers, who overcame the hot shooting of UST veterans Jeric Teng (31 points) and Aljon Mariano (28 points). With a report from Randolph Leongson
The scores:
First Game
NU 73–Parks 23, Aroga 16, Rosario 12, Roño 6, Neypes 6, Alejandro 5, De Guzman 2, Javillonar 1, Javelona 1, Labing-isa 1, Villamor 0, Khobuntin 0.
SAN BEDA 71–Dela Rosa 14, Adeogun 14, Dela Cruz 13, Pascual 12, Koga 7. Amer 5, Abarcar 4, D. Semerad 2, Mendoza 0, Ludovice 0, A. Semerad 0, Sara 0, Solera 0.
Quarters: 11-13, 23-29, 43-45, 64-64 (reg.), 73-71 (OT)

HoopsHype Al Jefferson rumors
"Í don't know how long, but it's going to be more than one or two games," Clifford said following practice Tuesday. "They're still trying to figure it out, but this is not one or two days." Charlotte Observer
Jefferson had a magnetic resonance imaging Tuesday morning to re-evaluate the extent of the injury. Clifford said Monday that doctors didn't think Jefferson was in danger of further injury by trying to play with this groin strain. Charlotte Observer
Rick Bonnell: Sounds like Hornets might shut down Al Jefferson for a bit. He's really hurting with that groin strain. Twitter @rick_bonnell
"This is my 11th year. You've got over 10 years in this thing, man, that's a long time," he said. "It's a blessing. Your career don't last that long. For me to be in my 11th year right now, man — when I get out of the bed every morning, it ain't that same cat getting out of the bed when I was 19, 20. It takes me a couple of steps to get going and I ain't been deep in the playoffs like [Kendrick] Perkins has. I can just imagine how those types of guys feel. "I got more years behind me than I do in front of me. I'll put it that way." Boston Globe
The Hornets have been aggressive making trade calls, according to sources across the league. The Hornets are searching for upgrades on the wing and at power forward, per those sources, and they are willing to talk turkey on basically anyone other than Kemba Walker and Al Jefferson. Free agents signed this past offseason can't be traded until December 15, and few would be surprised if the Hornets make and take calls on Lance Stephenson ahead of that trigger date. Grantland
"The two offers were (Lakers center) Andrew Bynum, and I was afraid of his knees, and Big Al — and then some draft choices and other throw-ins and stuff like that," McHale said. "I liked Andrew Bynum as a player. I liked Al, because he was a better scorer, but when you looked at Bynum, I was just so afraid of his knees and all the stuff that goes with that. "I know what people say about me and Danny, but if you look at what the Celtics (offered), Al and the picks, it was the best of the offers that were out there. I was actually surprised in one way, because there weren't many teams we could deal with." That factor came into play last year when the Celts traded Paul Pierce and Garnett to Brooklyn in what ended up being a limited market. But in '07, it caught McHale a bit off-guard. Boston Herald
Joseph Goodman: Al Jefferson hobbling around with ice on his ankle. Looks done for tonight. Well, now I'm being told that Jefferson wears ice on his ankles and hobbles around every night. Twitter @JoeGoodmanJr
Al Jefferson, an All-NBA center, can opt out of the final season on his deal this summer and become an unrestricted free agent. "You are always concerned – more so with Al because he's totally unrestricted," Jordan said. "They are core pieces of what we're trying to do…I'd like to keep both of those guys. I say I'd like to and I'd spend the money that's appropriate. I'll make every attempt to keep them." Jefferson was a breakthrough free-agent signing for this franchise in the summer of 2012. "Al is a straight shooter. We love him," Jordan said. "He took a gamble on us. That obviously plays into our thinking." Charlotte Observer
Rick Bonnell: I asked Al Jefferson and Kemba Walker about new TV money. Neither had much reaction; Al said he never thinks about his opt-out right now. Twitter @rick_bonnell
Now in Charlotte with a chance to shine brighter than he has in the NBA, does the offense need to go through him? "The offense is Big Al," Stephenson said without pause, referring to Hornets center Al Jefferson. "Big Al is holding it down in the paint. I would definitely go to him first. I want to be a playmaker, a scorer, a rebounder, a defender. I want to do whatever to help the team. "Big Al and Kemba, they're unstoppable. I don't want to say I want the game to go through me because we have other guys on the floor that can contribute, too. I want to be part of that. I want to be that guy to help the team win and do the dirty work to help us win." Charlotte Observer
The only real cure for plantar fasciitis (an inflammation of the plantar fascia tissue band that runs along the bottom of the foot) is rest, and Jefferson told the Hornets' official site he got that this summer and is good to go. He was back at the team facilities taking part in optional workouts with no restrictions. NBCSports.com
Now Lance Stephenson is being injected into that mix — and Jefferson is pumped about it. "I'm excited about Lance," Jefferson said in the hall outside the Hornets locker room at the Thomas & Mack Center, where he had shown up to watch Charlotte eliminate New York from the Summer League tournament. "We're all going to be on the same page as far as defense, and defense dictates the offense. "But Lance is a playmaker. That's the reason he led the NBA in triple-doubles last year. He's got this nastiness about his game that you want on your team. I was really excited to hear he signed with us and he wanted to do that. I think he's got a lot to prove, and he wants to show people he can be a great superstar in this league." NBCSports.com
Jefferson and Hayward are friends from their time together in Salt Lake City. A source familiar with the situation said Jefferson has been recruiting Hayward and will be part of the Hornets' presentation next week. Charlotte Observer
Charlotte Hornets owner Michael Jordan honored Al Jefferson by taking out a full-page advertisement Sunday in the Charlotte Observer after the 6-foot-10 center was named third-team All-NBA. Jefferson has proven to be the franchise's best free agent signing ever. He joined Charlotte last July and was the only player in the Eastern Conference to average a double-double for the 2013-14 season. USA Today Sports
Alex Kennedy: All-NBA 3rd Team: Al Jefferson, Paul George, LaMarcus Aldridge, Goran Dragic, Damian Lillard Twitter @AlexKennedyNBA
Paul Millsap: Congrats to my man Big Al Jefferson for making the All Nba 3rd team! Glad your finally getting the recognition you deserve. Twitter @Paulmillsap4
They'll explore how to add another game-changer to center Al Jefferson. So I take it for granted they'll check what it might take to acquire power forward Kevin Love, who seemingly wants out of Minneapolis. Likewise, I'd expect them to inquire about restricted free agents Greg Monroe with Detroit and Gordon Hayward with Utah via sign-and-trades. Charlotte Observer

1 Unit on San Diego Padres -137
I will ride the best starter in the league to a nice home victory tonight over the Colorado Rockies. The reigning National League Cy Young Award winner, Peavy (4-1, 2.22) has carried his dominance into 2008. The 26-year-old righthander surrendered just two runs and five hits in 5 2/3 innings en route to a 7-2 victory over the Florida Marlins on Saturday. San Diego is 11-2 (+9.9 Units) against the money line after 4 or more consecutive losses over the last 3 seasons. The Padres turn to their Ace in Jake Peavy to get out of this little slump tonight. Peavy went 8 strong innings, allowing just 4 hits and zero runs in his only start against the Rockies this season. Cash in with San Diego as the favorite.

1* on Milwaukee Brewers -115
Milwaukee has been in a big funk lately, but a return trip to their home field should spark this team to get the Brewers back on track. It also comes against one of their biggest rivals in St. Louis, so you know the Brewers will be up for the task. The Brewers return home following a 9-game road trip where they lost seven of the nine games. This team is much too talented to stay in a rut. Manny Parra has held the Cardinals to 3 earned runs or less in his 3 career starts against St. Louis dating back to last season. St. Louis is 14-32 (-16.7 Units) against the money line in road games after 2 or more consecutive losses over the last 3 seasons. The Cardinals have lost their momentum after Jason Isringhausen blew another save just a few nights back. Look for their woes to continue in Milwaukee, while the Brewers get back on track tonight. Take Milwaukee on the Money Line.

Chicago at Seattle
Seattle starter Carlos Silva is 5-11 in 16 career team starts vs. the White Sox with an ERA of 5.76. The Mariners are 6-20 vs. a team that allowed 2 or less runs in their last game and they are 0-7 vs. a team that scored 5 or more runs in their last game. Chicago is 4-1 the last 5 road starts made by Jose Contreras and they are 9-4 when he faces AL West foes. The White Sox 10-3 vs. teams with a win percentage of under 40%.
Re: FRIDAY SERVICE PLAYS
2.5-Unit Play. Take Boston (-125) over Minnesota
All John Lester does is win when he pitches. That's it. The Red Sox aren't a great turf team, but they are 16-5 in Lester's last 21 starts and 14-3 in his starts on regular rest. The Twins have been playing brilliantly lately, but they still struggle just a bit with lefties and are just 2-8 at home against left-handed starters. This play comes down to one basic thing: Boof. Bonser is a very shaky arm on the hill and the Red Sox have been swinging the sticks well. I think Boof gets biffed today and the Red Sox get the first in this series. However, Minnesota is getting one in this series and could even steal it if the Sox aren't careful.
2-Unit Play. Take Arizona (+105) over Chicago Cubs
This is my Adrenaline Play. I know the D-Backs are just coming off an emotional win/series over the Phillies and are coming off a tight home stand. I know they're headed east to face a team that had a day off, is desperate for a win, and is great at home. But I think the D-Backs win this one on adrenaline before their bubble bursts over the weekend. The N.L. West has owned the Central this year and Arizona is 44-21 in the last 65 in this series and 7-3 in their last 10 in Chicago. They are 18-6 on the road against lefties and I think they have the better hurler going today in Haren vs. Lilly. All-in-all, this play has a lot going for it and is worth the price.
1.5-Unit Play. Take Colorado (+135) over San Diego
Both clubs are a mess, and it's almost a shame that they're playing each other this weekend because I'd love to keep fading both. But right now the Rockies are at least hitting the ball and that makes all the difference. They're hitting 40 points higher over the last week and if the Dads couldn't get to some of the weak arms they saw in Florida and Atlanta, well, there's not much to say for them. The Rockies have won Aaron Cook's last six starts, are 6-2 when he starts against the Padres, and are 5-1 against Jake Peavy.
1.5-Unit Play. Take Atlanta (+100) over Pittsburgh
Ah, the Braves on the road. It's been dicey, I know. But part of their road struggles have had to do with them playing in Washington, where they just don't every do well. The Braves, collectively, have been hitting nearly .320 over the last week. They're pounding the ball and are playing in tight PNC today. They aren't getting swept out of Pittisburgh, so I'm willing to tail them this weekend and find a win. It should be tonight. Pittsburgh is still (barely) a blind fade against lefties (4-10 in their L14) and although Ian Snell is tight at home I think Atlanta keeps the momentum rolling.
1-Unit Play. Take Oakland (-110) over Texas
I absolutely loathe betting on the A's. Whenever I bet on them they look feeble and helpless. Whenever I bet against them it's death by 1,000 paper cuts. But I'm tossing out this Feeler Play today because I think that Oakland's lefties - Greg Smith and Dana Eveland - are really throwing well right now and Texas is subpar (.245) against lefties. Further, the Rangers had a long night of travel from Seattle and are coming off an emotional game (bench clearing brawl) and a solid road trip. I'm dangling this one for a Letdown, and hoping that the Rangers shouldn't have been my Adrenaline Play!
2.5-Unit Play. Take Detroit (-135) over New York Yankees
Let me be the first to welcome Kei Igawa back to the Bigs. Think Hideki Irabu only worse. The Tigers have won five straight over the Yankees and have taken six of the last seven meetings in Motown. Detroit hits left-handers much better than the Yankees do and Kenny Rogers always seems to have a little extra something at home. The Tigers are 20-7 in his last 27 home starts and 14-5 with him as a home favorite. New York has dumped five of six to A.L. Central teams, neither of which was playing that well at the time. Detroit strikes first in this weekend series.
2-Unit Play. Take New York Mets (-150) over Cincinnati
The Reds are 3-13 in their last 16 series openers and are just 7-15 in Matt Belisles last 22 road starts. The Mets just completed a West Coast swing in which they faced the likes of Brandon Webb, Dan Haren and Brad Penny. I dont think theyre going to be too scared of Belisle, who is 3-12 as an underdog and 1-10 against a team with a winning record. The Mets are 42-18 following an off day and I think that Mike Pelfrey is going to do enough tonight to get a win in a high-scoring game. He is still a pinata, but he's looked a little sharper in this first month. I am worried because the Reds are going to get one in this series. But they haven't played great in New York in the recent past and are a little shaky at the moment.

Lakers +5 over Jazz
Simply put the Lakers are a better team. Utah had a great home record this year, but the Lakers were one of the four teams to win in Salt Lake City. This is one of those games that people jump on Utah because the home teams have been winning and it looks to easy to take LA. I would not be shocked if the Jazz win, but fail to cover this spread. This is going to be a close game. Look for Kobe to have a shot to win it at the buzzer.

Re: FRIDAY SERVICE PLAYS
COL: RHP Aaron Cook (5-1, 2.40 ERA) at SD: RHP Jake Peavy (4-1, 2.22 ERA)
This is one of many lines that are way out of whack this Friday, and winds up being one of the better value plays I have seen all season. I have stated countless times, how I bet these selections, as I identify when there is significant value in the line (first and foremost) before ever getting the fundamental, technical and situational advantages of a particular selection. With that said, this outrageous line had me drooling so I am picking up on it quickly before some our value gets taken away by the savvy bettors. The opening number in this contest opened at Colorado +$150 and has quickly moved down to +$140. Rest assured thought guys, there is still plenty of value in this line for us to get this number where it stands now. The Rockies come into this contest winners of two in a row, while San Diego is going in the opposite direction, losers of four straight, while carrying the second worst record in baseball. "Momentum is very important," Todd Helton said. "When things are going bad, it just seems to snowball. Hopefully, it goes the other way, too." Cant argue with that concept, since some very successful baseball bettors exclusively bet these teams based upon streaks. Getting back the line value in the contest, despite the fact that San Diego is throwing their Ace (and one of the best pitchers in all baseball) the true line in this contest should have Colorado favored by -$105-$110. WOW. Advantage = Colorado!
Now many of you will wonder how I come up with the true lines, and its a system I have been using for years now for seven season and has never failed. We know the line is high for one reason and one reason alone, and that is the fact that Jake Peavy will be on the hill for San Diego. There is little question that he is a dominating picher and one of the best in the league (and his 2.22 ERA) certainly makes that case on its own. However, there has been some kinks in Peavys amour this season. Despite his dominance, Peavy has gone 11 consecutive starts where he failed to go at least six innings. The significance of that is the very fact that San Diego possesses the very worst bullpen ERA in the national League at 4.75! Historically, PEAVY has also been vulnerable against the Rockies in his career as his 4-4 mark with a 4.05 and a WHIP of 1.352 indicates. Despite being a disappointed, it should be noted that the Rockies are still profitable against right-handers in away/nights games this season where they are 5-5 +$130 with an offense averaging 4.3 runs per game. In stark contrast, San Diego comes into this contest with rather incredible home/night splits against right-handers where they are just 3-3 -$75 with an offense that averages, get this 2.5 runs per game! Overall, their offense is averaging just 3.4 runs against right-handers in all settings, so obviously, their mediocrity against the right-handers I no deviation from in this particular setting. That is fantastic news for Colorado right-hander Aaron Cook, who is coming off one of the more impressive outings of any pitcher all season. Indeed, in his last start, Cook had to cool off the hottest team in baseball as the Dodgers came into Coors Field riding an eight-game winning streak, during which they hit .327 as a team and outscored their opponents 70-35. Although Cook, gave up a fair share of hits (hes a sinker ball pitcher) and allowed just 2 earned runs. Said Rockies starter Jeff Francis, "Aaron gives up quite a few hits, but they're usually singles and they're all spread apart." Dodgers manager Joe Torre also was impressed. "Cook pitched a very good game," Torre said. "He pitched ahead in the count, and we never could get anything going against him." Unlike Peavy, Cook also has the confidence on knowing that historically, he is 8-3 when starting against the Padres with an ERA of 2.21 and a WHIP of 1.151. Advantage = Colorado!
Moving on the technicals, we have some absolutely frightening support for the Rockies. First, they fit into 5 super situational trends that average a 65.8% cover rate. Thats for starters. Then note the following: Colorado is 19-9 +$1490 against an NL starting pitcher whose ERA is 3.00 or better over the last 2 seasons; 29-17 +$1810 against an NL starting pitcher whose ERA is 3.50 or better over the last 2 seasons; 27-19 +$1160 against a starting pitcher whose gives up 5.5 or less hits/start over the last 2 seasons; 8-1 +$930 against an NL starting pitcher whose WHIP is 1.050 or better over the last 2 seasons. Getting to the fact that Peavy only averages less then 6 innings over his last 11 starts, the Rockies are 42-28 +$1880 vs. an overused bullpen that pitches more than 3.2 innings per game (San Diego averages 3.5 per game) over the last 2 seasons. Meanwhile, San Diego checks in with atrocious technicals such as they are 4-14 -$1120 after batting .240 or worse over a 10 game span this season (where they lose by an average 2.2 runs per game); 12-21 -$1110 Units) against the money line in all games this season; 6-18 -$1420 in night games this season; 3-11 -$940 with an on base percentage of .310 or worse over their last 20 games this season; 4-14 -$1120 after batting .240 or worse over a 15 game span this season; and 3-11 -$940 after batting .240 or worse over a 20 game span this season. In each of those situations, they averge loss margin ws by over 2 runs per game. With all that out of the way, there is simply no other way to put itthe wrong team is favored in this contest! HUGE ADVANTAGE COLORADO!
Verdict: Colorado 5, San Diego 1
Re: FRIDAY SERVICE PLAYS
Brian Graves
Game: Yankees vs. Detroit
Pick: Over 10
I can't even imagine what the Tigers may do Kei Igawa tonight. Igawa on his best night is a deep fly ball pitcher and with all the Tigers power I just don't see how Igawa won't allow at least a couple of big flies before leaving somewhere around the 4th inning. This isn't the 06 playoffs as Rogers has not had much success against the Yankees in his career, so the Bronx Bombers who looked the part yesterday should be able to hang right with Detroit on the scoreboard tonight.

Pittsburgh -1.10 (3 Unit Play)
Two teams that are on winning streaks converge here tonight but I am taking the home town Pirates to continue their streak tonight as Ian Snell is on the mound for the Pirates. Snell has not been pitching that great recently but I like his chances tonight as the Braves are the worst road team in the major leagues going only 4-11 thus far this year. Glavine is still working his way back from his first stint on the DL and the Pirates have been surprising a lot of people this year. Take Pittsburgh at home in Game 1 of this series.
Chicago White Sox +1.09 (3 Unit Play)
The Mariners are in a big funk right now as they have now been shut out for 22 consecutive innings and have been shut out two games in a row and that was versus the Texas pitching staff. Their frustrations boiled over last night as Sexson attacked the mound and he received a 6 game suspension but he will be available this evening as he is appealing the suspension. I don't think it matters who is in the lineup as the Mariners just can't hit right now and Contreras for the White Sox has been pitching pretty well this season going at least into the seventh inning in five straight starts but has not been able to come away with a victory. Silva for the Mariners has struggled mightily against the White Sox in his career as he is 4-9 with a 5.55 ERA against them and he was beaten up in his last start. The White Sox are not a great road team but they look good to me in this spot tonight.
Philadelphia/Pittsburgh Over 5 1/2 -1.13 (3 Unit Play)
This series is going to be a war as these two teams met eight times during the regular season and are obviously located in the same state and they just don't like each other. The Flyers are my team and I hope they emerge victorious but they received some very bad news yesterday as their top defenseman Timmonen may miss this entire series with a blood clot in his ankle. Invariably someone will step up and take his place but it is a big loss either way. Both teams have very good offensive teams and although the goaltenders for both sides have been performing very well in the playoffs thus far I think we will see some goals in this series. During the regular season the Over went 5-2-1 and I see no reason not to ride that trend in Game 1 where the teams don't have a chance to make adjustments until after the game is over. Look for a high scoring game tonight.

Element Occurrence Data Updated to October 2014
ACIMS has updated Element Occurrence information to October 2014:
Any previous occurrence files (dated May 2014) are now outdated and should no longer be used. New files for occurrences must be downloaded or searched using the Search ACIMS Data Map. Occurrence data are updated regularly so ensure you're using the latest ACIMS files for every search.
When submitting data to ACIMS please use the new data submission forms for plants, lichen and fungi to enable the efficient capture and storage of submitted data. The new data submission form contains fields similar to the previous form, plus a few new fields. Use the subject line 'Data Submission' and send any additional information, such as shapefiles, maps, photos, reports, etc along with the data submission form as attachments. A Help Guide is available
The National General Status project has contracted specialists across the disciplines to develop or update element lists for each province and territory, then to propose ranks using NatureServe ranking methodology. This is an ambitious project. It include all species groups in ACIMS (not including ecological communities) plus some new groups, such as grasshoppers. Some groups, such as bryophytes, have not had a group-wide review since the 1990s. No group in ACIMS has been systematically ranked using the NatureServe Rank Calculator
There are over 10,000 species element records that are being reviewed and added to (or updated in) ACIMS. In the past, ACIMS has used ad hoc committees to discuss the ranks and tracking lists, group by group. With so many records, and short timelines, our approach for the General Status project needs to be different. ACIMS will review and, after any questions are resolved, accept the recommendations from the specialist.
What does this mean for ACIMS?
We will post a fully updated element list and tracking list, group by group, as each review is completed. I fully expect that there will be some ranks that will need further adjustment, and hope that you will feel free to send in your comments as you see things that need additional work. This is a huge opportunity to have a complete review - that we can then tweak as needed.

A Beading Daily exclusive
Here's a special preview of a technique for you. Circular brick stitch is one of my favorite stitches. It's easy to learn and completely adaptable to an infinite variety of bead sizes, shapes, and materials. This is a really basic mini-lesson, working seed beads around a central bead.
Your circular brick-stitch lessonThe trickiest part of circular brick stitch is fitting the right number of beads in a flat circle for each concentric round. Don't try to squeeze in too many beads, or the shape may buckle into a ruffle (which is nice only if you want it that way). For a flat circle, spread out your stitches neatly and evenly around the circle.
Need some guidelines for the project for newbie.
what type & size thread thread should I use ? Should I use fireline ?
please recommend the bead sizes as well.
Loved this newsletter. I'm a visual learner and this type of illustration is fantastic.
Can we get more of this type of hands-on demonstration and information?
I wish you'd describe more beading stitches this way! As a matter of fact, I've stopped subscribing to so many beading magazines because I can't do the projects. The "basics" in the back of the magazine aren't detailed enough for a beginner. There are some beading magazines from the UK that I've been buying because of the detailed instruction that is so easy to follow. Do herringbone, ladder, nedeble...peyote has always stumped me. Can't get it to stay together at the beginning...Thanks!
THANK YOU! I have been trying to do this for a while to no avail. Thanks to you I can finally finish some of the projects I have been wanting to try!!!
I really like using the circular brick stitch. The possibilities are endless for what you can do. I also like using a rubber washer to brick stitch around, using the hole in the center to suspend another bead or crystal or natural stone. It's fun just to start out with a bead, pick some colors to go with it and go with the flow just building up on it and adding to it til I get it to where I feed all happy and good inside!
Well, we aim to please! I like teaching this way if not in person. Nice big photos, basic stitch technique, then you can go from scales to sonata, right? To be sure there's more coming!
About supplies for newbies: glad you asked.
First, use any strong beading thread. I'm a braided line (like WildFire) fan myself, since it doesn't stretch. The 6 lb or 8lb test weight, or size D for other threads, is more than strong enough. Judge thread strength needed by the weight your project will bear.
Needle sizes--whatever will fit easily through your beads even when they're filled with a few passes of thread. I prefer longer length needles, easier to hold. 1.5 inches to 2", size 12 or 10.
Peyote puzzler? Watch my odd-count peyote video and my trick with the needle holding the first rows in place!
Thanks for all your feedback and comments, keep them coming!
And Donnie, I so know what you're saying. This is one of my faves, too, to not have to plan it and just let it grow!
--Leslie, editor Beading Daily
Why can't there be a Beadfest in Atlanta? Is there some reason that Atlanta doesn't make the 'show' circit? It's certainly warmer than some states and not as pricey to stay at.....just wishing.
Stacy Nathan
Atlanta, Georgia
SO happy to see this!
What I need to know is not how to start flat circular brick stitch, but how to do increases from row to row. Could the tutorial be expanded pretty-please-with-lampworked-cherries-on-top?
Increasing is accomplished after the first stitch on the row or any place along the round. the first stitch is always 2 beads, catch the top stitch and bring your needle back up in the 2nd bead added... then each stitch is 1 bead, thru the top stitch and up thru the bead. The increase is made by working 2 - 1 bead stitches in the same top stitch.
Jean Campbell did a blog that I'm sure is still hanging around here... To Cull or Not To Cull... Gee, she made me appreciate mis-sized beads. increasing in Peyote or Brick is a great way to use those narrower beads. Decreasing uses the bigger beads.
As for threads, I have become hooked on braided, but for a practice project (the first time I make something), I use nymo. Be sure to stretch it gently first. Then when I err, and have to start over, all I have to do is cut the threads... and I don't cry as when I have to cut Fireline.
when I do a circular brick stitch around a bead, my pendant
cups instead of lying flat. What could I be doing wrong?
THANKS. Mary Ann

Assembly Bill 540 is a law that was passed in 2001 by the California legislature. This law is written for students who are undocumented or a U.S. Citizen/Permanent Resident who went to High School in California. If students meet specific requirements, they are able to pay 'resident fees' instead of 'non-resident fees' if they attend a CA public institution of higher education.
The basic criteria to meet eligibility for AB 540 are the following:
- Attended a California high school for a minimum of three years
- Graduate from a California high school or pass the California High School Proficiency Exam (CHSPE) or get a General Equivalency Diploma (GED, also called General Educational Development test)
- Enroll in an accredited California institution of higher education (CCC, CSU, or UC)
File a "Non-Resident Tuition Exemption" Affidavit with the school. In the case of students without legal immigration status, they must state that they have filed or will file an application to legalize their immigration status as soon as they are eligible to do so. Download the form submit it to Admissions and Records.
California Residency
AB 540 and the California Dream Act does NOT establish legal residency for immigrant students or for undocumented students who are eligible for AB 540. Undocumented students who have questions about their legal residency should consult with an immigration attorney or immigrant advocacy groups. Visit E4FC for free legal services.
California Dream Act
The California Dream Act of 2011, authored by Assembly Member Gil Cedillo (Los Angeles), became law through the passage of two Assembly Bills, AB 130 and AB 131.
AB 130 allows students who meet AB 540 criteria (California Education Code 68130.5(a)) to apply for and receive non-state funded scholarships for public colleges and universities.
AB 131 allows students who meet AB 540 criteria to apply for and receive state-funded financial aid such as institutional grants, community college fee waivers, Cal Grant and Chafee Grant.
Dream Act Timeline
AB 130 private scholarships become available at public colleges and universities. Check with your institution's financial aid office ASAP about application information.

Real Estate
Subdued spring in their step
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- August 18, 2012
IT'S the time of year that gets agents excited, auctioneers exercising their gavel arm and buyers champing at the bit to see the latest spring collection.
Traditionally spring is the time when the market hots up, but this year might be a different story for keen house hunters who are expecting a plethora of choices.
According to SQM Research figures to July, stock on market has been lacklustre for winter, more than 10 per cent down on the same data for July 2011.
Although it is not a forecast figure, it could be an indication that Sydney buyers might have less choice this spring.
"You always get a fall over winter, but it has been an unusual drop this year,'' says Louis Christopher of SQM Research.
"I think the signs are showing there's not going to be a big spring. There will be some new stock but not as much.''
He says while the figures are clearly demonstrating stock levels are low, Sydney has undergone a unique few years since the GFC, with fluctuating interest rates, consumer confidence on a roller coaster and government incentives artificially playing with prices.
"It's been a while since we just had the plain old forces of supply and demand working in the marketplace, because there have been a lot of large external forces at play,'' he says.
While stock is not jumping on to the shelves, Christopher says buyers should not be disillusioned but vendors should get realistic with prices.
"The thing is there are not too many newly listed properties out there, but I'd argue there is plenty of the old stock that's not selling,'' he says. ``To say there is no stock at all is just not true.''
Buyer's agent Nick Viner of Buyers Domain says he is surprised at the lack of new stock coming on to the market.
``We're only two weeks away from spring,'' Viner says.
"If the agents were going to be listing something to sell at the beginning of spring, or have an auction in September, they should have listed them all already. For a four- to six-week auction campaign they've already missed the boat and that's the worrying thing.
Viner says that although the prestige end of the Sydney market has been hit hardest since the GFC, the sub $1.5 million price point has been stable but is now suffering with a large stock shortage.
"With the sellers, the position they find themselves in is that a lot of them, if they're downsizing, upsizing or even moving sideways, they're going to be buyers themselves too. So a lot of them are looking for the stock to decide if they want to move. They want to line something up to buy so they're not in a rush to put their properties on the market,'' he says.
As a buyer's agent, Viner says he sees the frustration of many time poor househunters who have not done their homework.
"I find many people at the beginning are pretty ambivalent,'' Viner says.
"They haven't got their ducks in a row at the start of their property search.
"When they start, many have no real idea what they're looking for, what they want, and it takes them quite a while to get up to speed with it.
"A lot of people say: 'Nick, how are you going to know what I want?' I find that easy to answer, because to start with I know what's out there.
"There's only a finite number of properties in Sydney and I know what we're going to find in each price point.
``Then it's just about me getting a better understanding of you and then I can find it.''
Viner's advice for frustrated buyers is to be relentless.
"It's not enough to just do it at the weekend, or in your lunch hour. Some agents can be lazy, most are really busy so you've got to go to them.
"I have a lot of respect for them, but what they're doing is trying to get the best price for the vendor. What I'm doing is the opposite; I'm trying to get the property at the cheapest possible price.''
Frustrated buyer Marea Rayment has been househunting in the inner west since March and hopes the spring selling season will dish up more properties.
"There isn't a lot out there. I'm online every day, I go to agents, look in all the windows and always have an eye out for new signs popping up in the street,'' she says.
Rayment says that when she sold her current property in order to downsize, she negotiated an eight-month settlement to ensure her family had time to find their next home.
She says the key for struggling buyers is to take the first step, especially when househunting in an area where there is minimal new stock coming on to the market.
"Don't be afraid of telling agents what you're looking for. You need to have a good rapport with agents and then when they get a new listing, you'll be one of the first people they call,'' she says.
"You need to be proactive.''
Rayment says reports that Sydney currently has a buyers' market are not necessarily true for all areas of the city.
``For me, in particular, it's not really a buyers' market. I don't know if the inner west is ever a buyers' market.''
Christopher says the reality of Sydney experiencing a ``buyers' market'' period in the current cycle is shifting.
"What I think we're going to see is a situation where the market is turning into a state of equilibrium,'' he says.
"Not quite a buyers' market, but not so much a vendors' market either.''
