Cable Offerings Previewed at Press Tour Run the Gamut
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. _ The cable networks have been meeting with TV critics here all week, and in their range _ of both subjects and quality _ it's a pretty solid tour of the TV universe.
On one, high end was BBC America, with its usual slate of smart programming, including "BBC World News America." The news people talked about their commitment to covering the world, to maintaining their impartiality, and "to living up to the standards set by BBC journalists long before us," according to executive producer Rome Hartman.
A different kind of "news" _ not that this show would use that description _ was E!'s cheeky, very clever "Talk Soup," which covers the world of reality, talk and just generally bad TV.
"Unless the power grid fails, there will never be a shortage of material," said star Joel McHale, who describes himself inelegantly as a 'basic cable clip show host."
My point? There's room for a lot of things inside your TV, and after you spend a little time around the cable networks, you start to understand how vast the TV spectrum _ and the spectrum of what interests America viewers _ can be.
One of the dramatic standouts on TV is AMC's textured, atmospheric "Mad Men," which returns for season two July 27. The cast and creator talked this week about their pride in the show, and about their amazement that it's gotten such critical acclaim.
"It's like, we're not crazy," star Jon Hamm told critics. "Other people like good stuff, too."
Creator Matthew Weiner said the success hasn't really sunk in. "I'm one of those writers who only hears the bad things," he said, "not that I want to encourage anyone."
Weiner and the rest all deflected the praise, saying it's a team effort.
"I don't want to create the illusion I do this alone," Weiner said. "We have a talented writing staff, a brilliant cast, and the cinematographers, the crew … we even have an amazing caterer."
On a softer front, there was the Hallmark Channel, one of the last bastions of original, old-school TV movies. And because Hallmark's stars tends to be _ lets call them old-school, too _ it gave critics a chance to catch up on some past shows.
Jane Seymour, for instance, is starring in a Hallmark movie coming in August called "Dear Prudence" about an advice columnist-turned detective. She told critics her most notable TV, "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman," is not coming back because CBS is done with it.
"CBS owns it," Seymour said, "but I do have all the clothes."
Cheech Marin, talked about how much he enjoyed his days doing the Cheech and Chong act, and said a Hallmark movie he's doing, called "Expecting a Miracle" works out well for him because he plays a priest.
"I get 100 hours of public service knocked off because of it," Marin said, "so it's win-win."
On Sunday night, David Simon and Ed Burns _ the team behind the brilliant series "The Wire" _ are back on HBO with "Generation Kill" (at 9 p.m. EDT), another mesmerizing and eloquent ode to the little guy.
In this, they turn their feel for detail and nuance, and their straight-forward, fluent writing on the early days of the Iraq war, and the result is another triumph of riveting, complex storytelling.
This seven-week series is based on a book of the same name by Evan Wright, a Rolling Stone reporter embedded with the elite U.S. First Recon Marines. He wrote about the war from the perspective of a bunch of well-trained 20-year-olds who spent the first weeks, as Wright says, "at the tip of the spear."
Wright's book and this miniseries _ both Wright and Simon say in press material they stayed true to the book _ focus on the people in the Marines, their routines and on all their battles. And like "The Wire," this is utterly without cliche and totally absorbing.
Many of the characters are based on real people. There are great officers and bad ones, good-hearted Marines and angry ones, smart decisions and boneheaded moves. No person is simply one thing, and most of all, when they are under fire, this group responds like the top-level force they were trained to be.
Simon's sense of humor is layered throughout in witty conversation and in irony. His sense that any system will crush the regular people in it also comes through, and it jives with Wright's reporting. For instance, the battalion was sent off woefully low on batteries for their night vision equipment, and one captain refuses to give them more, saying Marines have been trained to conserve.
But in this case, the system saves them, too, at least in the early weeks of the war covered in this miniseries. Their training, mixed with their solace and pride in being Marines, takes them through in battle.
There is a realism _ in the language, the confusion, the stomach-turning sights and the flatness of many soldiers' reactions to death _ that can make this hard to watch, especially with U.S. forces, and some of the Marines in the film, still engaged in Iraq.
But this feels more like a piercing act of journalism than some TV movie, and it paints a valuable and vivid picture of being a modern American soldier.
Friday night, CBS starts "Flashpoint" (10 p.m. EDT), a new, brisk, all-around interesting cop show about an elite SWAT-style team, and you have to wonder why CBS doesn't seem to like it.
This is a different kind of series. The characters aren't just more bravado-filled supercops, though they talk like they want to be them. Instead, they're real _ if very capable _ regular people.
What's also different is that the focus is only partially on the police crisis. The aftermath, and the often-haunting or isolating impact on team members, is a big part of the show, and it's handled with what seems genuinely human layers.
It stars the always-good Enrico Colantoni, and the rest of the cast is more than solid. The writing is forceful, the characters are intriguing, and the taut moments don't feel like you've seen them a thousand times.
But CBS is airing this late on a Friday, one of the lowest-rated nights of the week, and viewers might wonder if the network has already given up on the show.

Queen's Colour Squadron
|The Queen's Colour Squadron, RAF
(No. 63 Squadron, RAF Regiment)
Number plate of 63 Squadron RAF Regiment
|1960 - present
|United Kingdom
|Royal Air Force
|Force Protection
|Public Duties
Ground Defence
|1 Squadron
|Part of
|RAF Air Command
|RAF Northolt
The Queen's Colour Squadron is the unit of the Royal Air Force charged with the safe-keeping of the Queen's Colour for the Royal Air Force in the United Kingdom. Since its formation, it has been manned exclusively by officers and men of the RAF Regiment. It also has a secondary operational role as 63 Squadron RAF Regiment, a Regiment Field Squadron (RFS), responsible for the defence of RAF and other assets on the ground from enemy forces.
In its ceremonial role, the squadron is responsible for representing the Royal Air Force at various significant occasions. The unit has mounted the guard at Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle and The Tower of London on several occasions, and has formed guards of honour for various visiting heads of state at Heathrow Airport, near its former base of RAF Uxbridge and its current base of RAF Northolt. The Squadron also handled the coffin of Diana, Princess of Wales on the return of her body to RAF Northolt following her death in Paris in 1997.[1]
The Queen's Colour Squadron of the RAF[edit]
The Royal Air Force had a ceremonial drill unit based at the Royal Air Force Depot at Uxbridge in Middlesex since the early 1920s. In 1960, the RAF Drill Unit was charged with the task of guarding and escorting the Queen's Colour of the Royal Air Force in the United Kingdom, and renamed the Queen's Colour Squadron. It was a pure ceremonial unit for 30 years, providing the sole escort to the colour, and famed for its displays of exhibition drill, which are performed without a single word of command. However, the Options for Change reforms led to the squadron being given an operational role as a field squadron in addition to its ceremonial role. For this, it was given the 'number plate' of No 63 Squadron, being renamed The Queen's Colour Squadron RAF (No 63 Squadron RAF Regiment).
No 63 Squadron RAF Regiment[edit]
No 63 Squadron was formed as a light anti-aircraft squadron in 1943, a role it served in for the duration of the Second World War. In 1946, while serving in Berlin, the squadron's role was changed, becoming a field squadron. It remained in this role until 1972, when it was planned to become the first RAF Regiment squadron to be equipped with the Rapier SAM, returning to the air defence role. Two unexpected tours in Northern Ireland meant that it was 1974 before the squadron converted. Following this, it was deployed in RAF Germany until 1992, when, with the gradual withdrawal of the RAF from Europe, the squadron was disbanded. Whilst at Gutersloh, 63 Sqn RAF Regt was deployed, as part of 5 Brigade to the Falkland Islands during the conflict there. They landed at San Carlos on 29 May - 1st June, deployed immediately and remained there until being redeployed to Stanley after the conflict ceased.
63 RAF Regiment deployed to the invasion of Iraq in 2003 as an RFS to Basra Air Station, providing force protection to the air base and the RAF air assets located there.

i bought my 94 lexus es300 from my friend /neighbor just this spring with only 84,000 miles and meticulously kept by this single woman.
The car is flawless and it's hard to believe it's 16 years old.
The car had some mis-firing, seems she had put german spark plugs in.
I had them changed and the car runs great!
cup holder is ill placed . firing when i got it, turned out that she had installed german made spark plugs, had them replaced with Toyota plugs, runs great now!
I do agree more thought should have been given to cup holder .
you can't plug in your phone and have a cup at the same time!

You might have noticed that in this current season, Wednesdays are my days to work toward some super-awesome God-sized dreams. So here is a blast from the past straight from the archives. Enjoy, dear friends… and thanks for the grace.
We waited for this precious experience every single day.
Small children snarfing down their lunch, tater tots flying, ketchup splattering, milk dribbling. We were racing against the clock. We had to get to recess.
Sure, recess came three times a day throughout my years of very early youth. But the length after-lunch recess was solely dependent on our ability to inhale our food and power walk from the cafeteria to the outside door. (Note: Sometimes a second grader's definition of "not running" is different than the principal's definition. And you had to walk that line carefully, or the five minutes you spent in the office during recess for "running" would nearly break your heart. Not that I would know.) [Read more…]

Reddish egrets are active feeders on a variety of small fishes (e.g. FWCC 2003) and the only member of the heron family known to employ a foraging method termed 'canopy feeding' (Farrand 1983). By spreading their wings, hunting birds cast glare-reducing shadows as they step rapidly through shallow waters to catch their prey (Kale 1990).Predators: Little information is available concerning predators of the reddish egret. Due to their size and ability to retreat, it is unlikely that adult birds are regularly preyed upon. However, birds of prey, alligators or large mammals possibly consume eggs and hatchlings.

Phoenix Suns
ESPN NBA writer: Phoenix Suns don't need to make a big splash in free agency
The Phoenix Suns won 48 games last season, surprising everyone and nearly reaching the playoffs for the first time since 2010.
They didn't, though, which means there's room to improve.
Blessed with plenty of draft picks and ample cap space, the Suns would appear to be in prime position to do exactly that as the NBA's free agency season has opened.
But what exactly, in a market filled with mega stars who they may not have a shot at and past-their-prime stars who they may not want to overpay, should the Suns do?
"It's tough to say," ESPN NBA writer Tom Haberstroh told Bickley and Marotta on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM Wednesday. "I don't think they need anyone. I think they really don't need to buy any free agents out there to make them necessarily that much better."
Haberstroh said the Suns, for instance, could go out and try to sign a player like Trevor Ariza, but it would make more sense for them to re-sign restricted free agent P.J. Tucker, who brings similar skills to the table.
Of course, while Haberstroh's idea -- and perhaps the Suns' plan -- may be prudent, it's not exactly sexy. It's a lot more fun to see a team add big name talent, so standing pat and banking on continued improvement from a young team may not be enough to excite the masses.
But that doesn't mean it would be the wrong approach.
"I really don't think they need to make any big moves," Haberstroh said. "Maybe get some more front-court depth but there are not a ton of names out there for that."
One name he did mention was Josh McRoberts, a 27-year-old forward who has played seven NBA seasons and posted career averages of 5.7 points and 4.2 rebounds per game with the Trail Blazers, Pacers, Lakers, Magic and Bobcats.
Last season he started 78 games, playing 30.3 minutes per contest and averaging 8.5 points to go along with 4.8 rebounds and 4.3 assists.
"Josh McRoberts could really look good in that offense," he said. "That's one name that they probably want to look at as a guy that can pass the ball and, obviously, in Phoenix where they're such an unselfish team, that could be a really good fit. And he can spread the floor a little bit.
"So that's a good name, not an expensive piece but he can probably help you a little bit, especially for some insurance for Channing Frye."
Frye, unlike with the aforementioned Tucker, is not a restricted free agent, meaning the Suns do not hold a right to match any offer he signs with another team. If he wants to leave, he'll leave.
Like Tucker, though, Frye has given little indication that he's itching to skip town. The same can be said for Eric Bledsoe, who is a restricted free agent, though that doesn't mean some aren't nervous about the rising star's intentions heading into the summer.
But Haberstroh says there's no reason to worry about the team losing half of its dynamic backcourt.
"I really do believe that they covet him and they absolutely want to see this kid keep on developing," he said. "He's already a two-way force in this league and he's just getting started. I don't think they want to get rid of that just yet."

Kicking off Black History Month in February, we welcomed author Richard Michelson and illustrator Eric Velasquez to Canton. Twice as Good tells the story of one man overcoming obstacles, beating the odds and achieving something important. Our community came together over this book. Events supporting Twice as Good were held at Walsh University, the Canton Museum of Art and East Canton Elementary School. Canton City Schools' Allen School kids visited Walsh University and readers from Belden School helped us present the book at the library. This amazing event is a great example of how libraries inspire us, bring us together as a community and enrich our lives. Another community-building event of 2012 was "Stomp at the Library" with Elec Simon. Elec brings his brand of percussion and community building to events throughout Canton. We were lucky enough to host him, some of his musician friends and a big group of Stark Countians one hot July afternoon in the Main Library parking lot. Elec's energy and excitement traveled through the crowd as he performed for the finale of Canton City Schools' Science of Sound Summer Enrichment which was held at the Library. Hundreds of people, young and old, attended this wonderful celebration bringing together education, entertainment and Simon's own brand of engagement for a fun-filled afternoon. 2012 was a year of transition, as well. I was very pleased to return to Canton as Executive Director of this library system and to take the reins of this important institution. When I joined the Stark County District Library, it was already in the midst of a crucial levy campaign to secure its funding through the remainder of this decade. Due to a series of budget reductions from the State of Ohio, the Library needed to request an increase in local support. The electorate of this county responded and voted for our levy. We thank you all for your support. We take our responsibility to you very seriously. Your library responsib is a place where the community comes together; it levels co the playing field by providing access to information to everyone. Your Yo library is More Than Books. Stop in and experience this vibrant center of your neighborhood. Cover: Renee Powell, LPGA golfer and co-owner of Clearview, helps Donald from Belden School share Twice as Good.

Honda Replacement Driveshaft Supports
When time comes to put down roots and accept everyday commitments, the Honda offers comfort, quality and safety features at a low cost. Car or truck enthusiasts who thrill over performance car or trucks recognize that nothing is more vital than having the highest quality replacement parts and accessories. The car's Driveshaft Support holds up the rear section of a driveshaft before it meets your rear differential. On most rear wheel drive vehicles, a driveshaft is comprised of two parts and is held between the parts by a Driveshaft Support at the middle of the vehicle.
The Driveshaft Support is a necessary component of your drive train, which connects your transmission with your vehicle's axles. When the driveshaft bearing is dysfunctional, the car's Driveshaft Support will have to be removed and repaired. Your Driveshaft Support doesn't usually become broken, however the piece will need to be removed when you rebuild the driveshaft bearing. Your Driveshaft Support holds a bearing that moves power from the vehicle's front drive shaft to the back drive shaft. Your Driveshaft Support is a part that can be found on your drive shaft, that transmits energy from a vehicle's engine and transmission to the rear axle on rear wheel drive vehicles.

Feds: Vista man killed girlfriend in Panama
Over the next several days, he disposed of other personal items, leaving 10 trash bags outside the hostel that included Baldelli's jewelry, clothing and makeup.
Several weeks later, Brimager returned to San Diego and proposed to the other woman, Kristin Werkhoven, within days.
An online wedding registry that has since been taken down said the couple met in Washington, D.C., in 2004 and had a daughter six years later, the Orange County Register reported. The registry described his trip to Panama as a "vacation" to "detox from the Marine Corps." It said they were engaged on Dec. 15, 2011, and married by the end of the month.
The couple bought a home in Vista in 2012, according to public records.
When Baldelli's family finally reported her missing, Brimager was interviewed by FBI investigators. He is accused of giving false statements, including that Baldelli had left Panama for Costa Rica and did not plan to return to the U.S.
Baldelli's family thanked U.S. and Panamanian authorities, and said they are hopeful that Panamanian authorities will charge Brimager with murder there.
"It's good to know he's behind bars at least for now and I hope it will stay that way," Michelle Faust, the victim's sister, said outside the courtroom. "I think we're all disappointed he hasn't been indicted for murder, but that's up to the Panamanian officials, and we hope they'll get there."
Assistant U.S. Attorney Hamilton Arendsen said outside of court that Brimager is still under investigation in Panama and couldn't comment further.
In the U.S., Brimager faces 20 years on each of 10 obstruction of justice charges and five years for the false statement charge.
In a statement released by Baldelli's family earlier Thursday, they expressed the pain of losing her.
"We sorely miss Yvonne's melodious laugh, contagious smile, and her kind heart," the statement reads.
"Yvonne did not deserve to be ripped from our family. We will never recover from her absence."

Beijing Bans Outdoor Grills
By editor
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. Grilling season is coming up, but not in smoggy Beijing. The city has banned smoky outdoor grills in a fight against its notorious pollution. Beijing's popular kebab vendors will be forced to move inside. Critics there say it's a smokescreen to distract from coal mines and cars turning out far more pollution.
One Chinese official was scorned last fall for saying stir fry was a significant source of pollution. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

AFAIK the card is supported natively in Lion and it may be possible to backport the Lion kexts but that's about all what I know.
Is it possible to make it work on an SL system on AMD? All I have right now are the basic functions, but I cannot even use my real screen resolution. I'm stuck with 1600x1200 instead of 1920x1200. Hardware acceleration is not working at all, graphics enabler won't help either.
Since a reliable Lion kernel for AMD is still a few months away (if it comes at all), I figure I might have a better shot just trying to make the graphics card work on SL.
Did anyone ever make a Radeon HD 6950/6970 work under Snow Leopard 10.6.8?

SAS removal resistor - double check
I've read the threads on the SAS removal (and appreciate the great help it's been), but I wanted to double check the range of the resistors. I threw my multimeter on the SAS valve and the whatchamacallit up at the front that goes to the canister and I got roughly 19 ohms and 26 ohms (or thereabouts).
In all the threads I've read, people are using 20 kOhms to 22kOhms (20,000 - 22,000). Is my multimeter off, or is the resistor value up in that range due to increased resistance when operating, or other?
Thank you for the time and help.
If you have a TuneECU cable, you can disable SAS. No lights / error codes will be thrown.
put a plug in the return line of SAS. done. :D
Higher resistance means less current, this means you can use a lower wattage resistor. I use 22k 0.25 watt and works fine.

LAKE ELSINORE: District considers moving service in-house
Photography, waste management being studied
Providing its own trash services would require that the district buy a compressed natural gas truck. There also would be labor costs, as well as expenses for fuel, maintenance and dumping fees.
CR&R has expressed interest in negotiating with the district to keep the contract, according to Bowers and CC&R officials.
"We're taking a microscopic view to see if any cost savings can be realized," Bowers said. "We're still in an exploratory mode."
CR&R trucks visit each of the district's 26 sites one to five times a week, Bowers said. How efficient the system is needs to be investigated, he added.
The district budgeted $347,000 for waste management services in 2007-08 and spent $294,000. The '08-09 budget is $313,000 and, so far, $288,000 has been spent, according to Bowers.
The costs has been reduced in recent years by recycling efforts, Bowers said, as the fee to pick up recyclable materials is less expensive than that for other refuse.
Further discussion of the proposals is expected at the April board meeting, Bowers said.

Bhutan aims to be first 100% organic nation
Published on Oct 3, 2012 4:27 PM
NEW DELHI (AFP) - The Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan, famed for seeking "happiness" for its citizens, is aiming to become the first nation in the world to turn its home-grown food and farmers 100 per cent organic.
The tiny Buddhist-majority nation wedged between China and India has an unusual and some say enviable approach to economic development, centred on protecting the environment and focusing on mental well-being.
Its development model measuring "Gross National Happiness" instead of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has been discussed at the United Nations and has been publicly backed by leaders from Britain and France, among others. It banned television until 1999, keeps out mass tourism to shield its culture from foreign influence, and most recently set up a weekly "pedestrians' day" on Tuesdays that sees cars banned from town centres.
Its determination to chart a different path can be seen in its new policy to phase out artificial chemicals in farming in the next 10 years, making its staple foods of wheat and potatoes, as well as its fruits, 100 per cent organic.

7 treasurer candidates stressing accountability
The seven candidates vying for the treasurer-tax collector post in the June 8 election vow to improve management of Ventura County's coffers, provide better customer service and conduct more internal audits to help restore public trust in the office.
The winner will take over a department still recovering from controversy involving thefts and corruption in the Public Guardian's Office, which at the time was managed by the treasurer-tax collector.
Esther Torres Anaya, a former deputy public guardian, was sent to jail in 2007 for more than 50 counts of theft, embezzlement and tax fraud. Treasurer-Tax Collector Larry Matheney admitted the agency lacked fiscal and management controls.
The county Human Services Agency was later put in charge of the Public Guardian's Office. Most of the seven candidates, however, believe more internal audits are necessary.
Matheney plans to retire when his term expires at the end of the year. If one candidate does not get more than 50 percent of the vote in the June primary, the top two finishers will have a runoff in November.
Ed Summers
With 27 years of experience in banking, financial consultant Ed Summers said that in addition to more audits, the office should expand the use of technology and electronic banking, improve its website and provide better service.
"You have to trust your employees, but as the old saying goes, 'Trust with verification,' " said Summers, a former Ventura City Council member. "There is also a need for a greater commitment to customer service. We need to make the collection of taxes much easier for customers."
Don Facciano
Don Facciano, longtime president of the Ventura County Taxpayers Association, said he wants to better manage the county's pension system and raise the retirement age.
"We need to stop the spiking of pensions, which has happened in the past year," Facciano said. "We have to be careful, because on the current course that we are on, they will bankrupt our cities, and we need to come up with better suggestions to manage this."
Facciano said he would try to institute a two-tier benefits system. Instead of basing a pension on an employee's highest earnings year, Facciano suggests basing it on a three-year average.
Jeff Walker
Candidate Jeff Walker, an accountant and small business owner, said he also supports more internal audits.
"Part of the reason that allowed fraud to take place was the lack of internal control," Walker said. "As a small business person, I treat employees like family. Treat employees with respect, but also let them know there are internal controls in place."
Walker said he wants to institute a paperless tax collection system and take advantage of social media such as Twitter and Facebook to communicate with the public.
Peggy O'Reilly
Candidate Peggy O'Reilly said she would use her 20 years of experience in the financial industry to provide accountability to the office. With county investments losing millions of dollars during the economic downturn, O'Reilly said, thorough reviews are needed before investments are made.
"There has been some malfeasance in the past and I would like to establish a stronger cross-training effort and internal audits," O'Reilly said. "We are handling people's money and they should know where it is going in order to prevent fraud. I'd also like to add more technologies to the department to create efficiencies."
Thomas "Keith" McLaughlin, a former Countrywide Financial Corp. executive, said he would use his 22 years in the private sector to make "prudent investments that would meet the county's needs." McLaughlin, who left Countrywide in March 2005, said he also would closely oversee the county's retirement fund.
"Taxpayers want to put someone there who can ensure internal control, and I have the experience to provide a sound operation," McLaughlin said. "We still have significant budget challenges in the county and I have the experience to address those complex problems."
Warren Harwood
Candidate Warren Harwood, a Pleasant Valley School District trustee, said he would implement various changes and improve the office's public image.
"The idea that the treasurer should just be an administrative function is wrong," Harwood said. "As an elected official, I would communicate with the public and I would help them (county supervisors) with their policy decisions."
Steve Hintz
Candidate Steve Hintz, a retired Superior Court judge, said that while he agrees internal audits are essential, an "air of suspicion" should not exist in the county treasurer-tax collector office.
"We have heard other candidates talk about searches and adding surveillance cameras," Hintz said. "The wrongdoers from the Public Guardian's Office have been arrested and I think it is insulting to the employees who are still there. You need to provide effective leadership and set expectations that they will work with honesty."
Hintz said he would immediately examine department operations and eliminate inefficiencies. He also would institute public town hall meetings.
"The fact is, the public image of the office was tarnished by that episode," Hintz said. "It is important to erase that image, which is no longer deserved, so the public knows they can trust the integrity of the office."

Shoulder Issues -- Therapies, Surgeries, Etc.
View Single Post
Join Date: Nov 2006

Posts: 126
Spittle, Bronco, etc....glad to hear surgery's not (for some) cruel and unusual punishment.
I've played/quit/treated/pilled/ignored/whined a bad shoulder since the '80s, (hit an overhead off the tip of the racket, behind me, jumping...cold night etc...) back when at the time surgery was basically "cut it all apart and good luck" - so I didn't do it. I'm sure some people's goes away, but mines like an old friend.....as a result of torn tendons last year in my ankle (had surgery last Fri), got a new MRI done on the shoulder...reads "torn Labrum, superior and anterior, not including bicep tendon....fluid in the sack (bursitis), tendentious (infraspinatus tendon).....once I get past the ankle surgery, I'm sure I'll be in for the shoulder. Sometimes, they don't just go away.
Bronco, keep us posted - your experience is music to my ears....(or sundry other parts). And Spittle, beware as previously said, of the racket...during this whole mess, I'd gotten a cortisone shot in the shoulder - played great for a week with my hot-shot sophomore, using a K6.1 95 Team...love the racket, went light to help the shoulder....for my efforts, got a bad elbow, first time in 40 years......lesson there, beware playing our hard game with a light racket - the arm need some heft to the frame, or it's like throwing a tennis ball hard, versus a baseball....and trust me, the worst of my aches and pains is the elbow.

CDC: Kids have cigarette brand preferences
U.S. researchers suggest that exposure to tobacco advertising and promotional activities plays a role in influencing youth to start smoking.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Mortality and Morbidity Weekly Report said that researchers found the three most heavily advertised brands — Marlboro, Newport and Camel — continue to be the preferred brand of cigarettes smoked by middle and high school student smokers.
The study found 78 percent of middle-school students and 87 percent of high-school students prefer to smoke these three brands. The report found a considerable difference in brand preference among students by gender and ethnicity. Marlboro is the preferred brand for middle and high school females — 50 percent and 54 percent, respectively — compared to males –38 percent and 50 percent, respectively.
The use of Camel was higher for middle school males — 12 percent — than middle school females — 4 percent.
The report also found that black middle- and high-school students — 60 percent and 79 percent, respectively — preferred Newport, a menthol cigarette that is strategically marketed to black communities, the study said.

Number of hip-hop entrepreneurs on the rise in US
Published on May 15, 2014 12:07 AM
WASHINGTON (AFP) - At Howard University's graduation ceremony, students got advice from a guest speaker unlike most given that honor: Sean Combs, or "P. Diddy", a leading symbol of hip-hop artists turned businessmen.
Facing a sea of young people wearing blue gowns, the magnate of rap spoke Saturday of the secret of his success.
"I decided to embrace the entrepreneur spirit of my dad but in a honest way, in a legal way," said Combs, whose father died in a drug deal gone wrong.
Sitting atop a personal fortune of 700 million (S$875 million) dollars, "P. Diddy" is among a coterie of rapper businessmen who have gone from inner city streets to the pages of the Wall Street Journal.

Ikea recalls baby bed canopies due to strangulation risk
Published on Mar 20, 2014 8:16 PM
STOCKHOLM (AFP) - Swedish furniture maker Ikea on Thursday recalled nearly three million baby bed canopies worldwide due to a potential danger of strangulation.
"We have had some reports of young children getting entangled in these canopies," Ikea spokeswoman Ylva Magnusson said, adding that some children had sustained minor injuries.
"However there is no child that has had permanent injuries ... and as a safety measure we are recalling the products."
The company asked customers who have bought the canopies - which look like mosquito nets draped over a cot or child's bed - to stop using them and return them to Ikea stores around the world for a full refund.

Xiaohe Tomb complex
|Xiaohe Tomb Complex
Map of the Lop Nur region, Xinjiang, China by Folke Bergman 1935. The Xiaohe Tomb complex is marked as Ördek's Necropolis near the center of the map.
The Xiaohe 'Little River' Tomb complex[needs IPA] refers to a bronze-age burial site located near Lop Nur, in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of western China. It is an oblong sand dune, from which more than 30 well-preserved mummies, buried in air-tight ox-hide bags, have been excavated. The mummies, the earliest of which date from around 4000 years ago, appear Caucasoid. Genetic analysis, however, revealed an admixture of population from the East and West, with the paternal lineage exclusively west Eurasian, and the maternal lineage a mixture of east and west Eurasian.[1] The entire Xiaohe Tomb complex contains about 330 tombs, about 160 of which have been looted by grave robbers.[2] The Xiaohe remains contains the largest number of mummies found at any single site in the world to date.[3] No human settlement has been found near the tomb complex; the bodies were therefore likely to have been transported from elsewhere for burial at this site.
Discovery and early excavations[edit]
A local hunter named Ördek found the site around 1910. Later, in 1934, partly with Ördek's help, Swedish explorer and archeologist Folke Bergman located the site which he named Ördek's Necropolis. The tomb complex appeared as a small oval mound, and the top of the burial mound was covered with a forest of erect wooden posts whose tops had been splintered by strong winds.[4] Oar-shaped wooden monuments and wooden human figures were found at the site. The coffins were assembled over the bodies which had become mummified. Bergman excavated 12 burials and recovered approximately 200 artifacts that were transported back to Stockholm. Bergman noted the surprising resemblance in the clothing, especially the fringed loin-cloths, to Bronze Age grave finds in Denmark, but dismissed any direct connection.
Later rediscovery and excavations[edit]
In October 2003, an excavation project, organized by the Xinjiang Cultural Relics and Archaeology Institute, began at the site. A total of 167 tombs have been uncovered since the end of 2002, and excavations have revealed hundreds of smaller tombs built in layers. In 2006, a coffin wrapped with ox hide in the shape of a boat was found. It contained a remarkably intact mummy of a young woman, which came to be called the Beauty of Xiaohe.[5][6]
Description of the tombs[edit]
Each tomb is marked by a vertical poplar post near the upper end of the coffin. A skull or horn of an ox may be suspended from the post. The ends of the posts can be either torpedo-shaped or oar-shaped, representing the phallus and vulva respectively. The male burials were marked with the oar-shaped posts, while the female burials were marked with the phallic posts. Bows and arrows were found with the male burials. The posts and coffins may be painted red. Each coffin is made of two massive pieces of plank assembled over the body, resembling an overturned boat, and then covered with cowhides. A few special tombs containing females have an extra rectangular coffin on top covered with layers of mud. Small masks of human faces and wooden human figures may accompany the burials. Twigs and branches of ephedra were placed beside the body.[7][8]
Genetic studies[edit]
Genetic analysis of the mummies showed that the Xiaohe people were an admixture from populations originating from both the West and the East. The maternal lineages of the Xiaohe people originated from both the East and the West, whereas the paternal lineages all originated from the West.[1]
Mitochondrial DNA analysis, which reveals the maternal ancestry, showed that the Xiaohe people carried both the East Eurasian haplogroup (C) and the West Eurasian haplogroups (H and K). The East Eurasian lineage C, which is the dominant haplogroup found in the remains, suggests that the east Eurasian component in the Xiaohe people originated from Siberian populations, especially the southern or eastern Siberian populations. The mtDNA haplogroup H and K are common in Western Europe, suggesting that west Eurasian component of the maternal ancestry observed in the Xiaohe people might have close relationship with Western Europeans.
The Y chromosomal DNA analysis, which reveals paternal lineage, showed only the West Eurasian haplogroup R1a1a in the male individuals.[1]
