Detroit Lions running back Mikel Leshoure runs the ball during the first quarter of an NFL preseason football game against the Buffalo Bills in Detroit on Thursday, Aug. 30, 2012.
- Filed Under
Mikel Leshoure grew up a few hours from Chicago in Champaign, Ill. As a college running back, he did a photo shoot with Soldier Field as his backdrop.
He called his homecoming tonight against the Bears "just another game," but Lions offensive coordinator Scott Linehan said that might not be the case.
"I know he's got a lot of family and friends coming," Linehan said. "I know he's real excited. Those are all special times for guys, especially young players. He's going to have a little extra incentive to go and show what he can do." ...

EVMS to Consider Becoming Part of William and Mary
by AP
posted Jul 25 2012 10:12AM
NORFOLK, Va. (AP) - The College of William and Mary and Eastern Virginia Medical School have agreed to explore the feasibility of having EVMS become the William and Mary School of Medicine.
The schools announced the exploration process in a joint statement on Wednesday. The College of William and Mary is located in Williamsburg and EVMS is in Norfolk. EVMS has no correlating undergraduate institution.
The joint statement says that before a decision can be made by either school, each must carefully investigate the implications of such a combination. The statement says it is not known how long that will take. If the schools decide to proceed, it would require the approval of the General Assembly and the governor.

Texas Rangers (45-71) at Houston Astros (49-68), 2:10 p.m.
Probable Starting Pitchers: Texas - Nick Martinez (1-8, 5.31) Houston - Dallas Keuchel (10-7, 2.89)
(SportsNetwork.com) - A Lone Star State series wraps up at Minute Maid Park on Sunday afternoon, as the Houston Astros try for a sweep over the Texas Rangers.
The Astros enjoyed an offensive outburst on Saturday night on their way to an 8-3 victory.
The big blow came in a four-run fifth-inning, punctuated by a two-run double off the bat of Jon Singleton, who finished the night 2-for-3 with three RBI and two walks.
"We were relentless," Singleton said. "We made (Yu Darvish) throw a lot of pitches, and when he did make mistakes we capitalized on them."
Chris Carter, Jason Castro, Matt Dominguez and Jake Marisnick also had two hits apiece.
The run support was plenty for Scott Feldman (6-8) to work with, as he tossed 6 1/3 innings, allowing three earned runs while striking out six.
Darvish (10-7) was not sharp for the Rangers, scattering nine hits and six runs (five earned) in just four innings.
Shin-Soo Choo went 4-for-5 out of the leadoff spot. Jim Adduci belted his first-career home run in the sixth inning.
The Rangers will send a rookie to the hill on Sunday to try and salvage the series. Nick Martinez's first season has not been a memorable one, as he's a lowly 1-8 with a 5.31 ERA through 19 appearances (14 starts).
Martinez's losing streak extended to seven his last time out, when he allowed eight hits and five earned runs in five innings against the White Sox on Aug. 4. He's now allowed five or more runs in three of his last four starts.
The 24-year-old righty has at least pitched respectably on the road (4.13 ERA), whereas he's been dreadful at home (7.86).
Houston will answer with Dallas Keuchel, who's been one of the team's bright spots this season with a 10-7 record and a 2.89 ERA.
Since a mid-season hiccup in which he allowed at least four earned runs in five straight starts, Keuchel has rebounded in recent weeks by allowing only two runs in his last 23 innings. He was strong in a no-decision against the Phillies on Aug. 5, yielding five hits, a walk and an earned run in seven innings of work.
The 26-year-old southpaw is below .500 at Minute Maid Park on the year (3-4) despite boasting a 2.60 ERA.
The 'Stros are 8-3 against Texas this season and have won seven straight in this series.

He may have been fashionably late for his own retirement party, but Ken Saunders was never late for work (in over 30 for years) for a job that he loved - working for the Bingham County Road and Bridge Department.
Saunders said he made the decision to retire at this time "to give someone else the opportunity to have what he had."
While your mother may tell you 'not to play with your food,' that rule went out that window as students from Snake River Middle School (SRMS) made 'fruit and veggie-mobiles' with the intention of racing them down a ramp and smashing them into a juicy mess at Jensen Grove Thursday afternoon.
It was all part of the 'last day of school' celebration put on by SRMS teachers Lisa Martin, Jill Munson, Suzanne Hieb, Susan Shawver, Sydnee Hale and Carol Adams.
Blackfoot Police Chief Dave Moore confirmed Thursday that his department is looking into allegations on the criminal side against Bingham Memorial Hospital.
"We met with the prosecuting attorney this morning [Thursday] asking for direction," said Moore, "whether we should continue the investigation or not.
"The prosecutor told us to continue moving forward," he said, "so we are in an ongoing investigation. Â
"We hope to sort out allegations cited by former employees about business practices at the hospital to determine if anything happened or if it didn't happen," said Moore.
Family, friends, teachers, administrators and staff members celebrated with the 126 graduates of Snake River HIgh School Wednesday evening.
"Every class forges its own identity; its own uniqueness," said SRHS principal Dean Bonney.
The class of 2012 has received $247,000 in scholarships and awards.
Three more banners have been hung in the gymnasium—for state championships in boys soccer, football and volleyball.
Twelve different teams represented Snake River at state events.
"What's unique about this class is how well you treat one another," Bonney said.

Jackson to start over Favre?
This wont happen, Chilly dosent have the balls to pull this stunt.
If there is already a thread on this, I must of missed it so sorry ahead of time.
^Latest report says Favre is taking first team reps today.
I hope no one actually thought Favre was going to sit out with an ankle injury that wasn't too severe for him to play through last week before a pain-killing injection.
My guess is he'll be on a very short leash there. Childress probably doesnt have the cajones to just bench Brett for bad play but he can use the injury card if they are down early. This isnt going to end well for the Vikes this year.
Originally rotoworld said he was taking first-team reps. They have since changed the report.
I could vomit numerous times all over the place.
Even if he's too hurt to play, he'll limp out and hand the ball off to Adrian Peterson a few times before letting Jackson take over.
Screw the team, gotta keep his streak alive!
This this this.
There is nothing in Bretts life that he cares about more than that streak. Not his team, not his family, not even that Jenn didnt hit reply with shots of her clam. Its why hes kept coming back the last couple of years, he desperately wants to put this out of Peyton's reach.
Cant wait until the day its broken and an even older favre comes on the screen and does the whole completely bs charade of 'im so happy you broke my record blah blah blah'
IMO he's decided he will get the streak to 300 starts or die trying. I wonder if it's just so he can go around saying "I started 300 straight games at QB in the NFL. How bout you?" whenever he wants to win an argument. It sounds better than "over 200" or "almost 300". Trevor Hoffman stated 600 saves as his goal, I think 300 starts is Bretts, he just hasn't told anyone.
I'm all for it.
Because it's against the Pats ;D
they should bench him because he's played horrible, and because he's hurt.
Guess we will find out if its no nuts Childress or not. Favre really should not play but Id be ****ing shocked if he doesn't.
It's not going to happen. Favre started with the 1st team in practice on Friday.
i thought this too at first, but then i thought...
is the The Truth T-Jackson better than an injured and playin like crap favre?
I say yes, how could he play worse at this point? at least give him a shot to show hes still crap rather than go with the guy whos already proven hes playing like garbage. Im guessing almost everyone else would say no anybody could out play tjax but idk i think anyone else could outplay favre right now.
his timing looks off, hes looking for the wrong guy on plays, hes not on the same page as some of his recievers...all things that wouldnt be a problem if he had shown up to training camp like everyone else and didnt get treated like he was special...
lol at ESPN ticker "Breaking New - Brett Favre expected to start according to Ed Werder"
Tell us something we didnt already know.
This whole season has made my hate Brett Favre even more. Even with his injuries and his poor play, he refuses to let that get in the way of his ego. He doesn't care about the team because if he did he would realize that a healthy Brett Favre is a much better asset to the team than an injured and banged up Brett. Selfish selfish selfish.
I said it a few times over the summer and got ridiculed, but...I think that if Jackson gets a chance to start at least a few games this year, he's going to look like an average QB AT WORST. I think if he'd started the season, the Vikings would still look like contenders.
Now laugh at me, I'm used to it whenever anyone brings this up.
It looks like Brent is going to play. IMO T Jack gives the Vikings a better chance to win and Childress should have declared Brent out as soon as he got the MRI. As a Packer fan I want Favre to sit just so we were the team to break the streak, but that would give them a better chance to win. I don't see how he makes it through the entire year though. Since he's playing it's going to take awhile to heal, and it doesn't help that he's 41. When the weather gets cold I don't know how he's going to keep going out there for 4 quarters, especially if they get eliminated. Not to mention he's not going to practice hardly at all, and he was already practicing light with his shoulder. How is he going to play better by not practicing? How is Childress going to keep playing him if he doesn't play better? Something has to give in this situation. With 8-9 games left and everything deteriorating, it's going to happen.
The real question is how many games will Favre start if the Vikings continue to lose?

Zachary Rodgers | December 8, 2006 | Comments
DMarc, acquired nearly a year ago, has been integrated with AdWords and is ready for its close-up.
Google has taken the next step in its conquest of traditional media with a new beta test of Google Audio Ads. A group of 20 advertisers have already begun buying ads on terrestrial and satellite airwaves under the experiment.
Google Audio Ads are sold on a CPM basis through the AdWords platform, and advertisers can target on factors like geographical market and time of day. Reporting functions disclose which stations ran ads and when, and real-time air checks are available, a bit of a novelty for interactive marketers who have grown used to not seeing their non-search executions.
Effectiveness metrics are the old-fashioned kind, including analysis of call volume and in-store traffic.
"If somebody's running a campaign spanning three metro markets and they're getting great call volume, they have the ability... to modify the campaign or heavy up," said Ryan Steelberg, head of radio operations for Google.
Budgets are managed in a manner similar to the company's existing bid-based platform, except the ads will be sold on a CPM, rather than cost-per-action, basis. The inventory could theoretically be monetized via action-based system like pay-per-call, but Google's steering clear of that for the moment. The beta test has no minimum spending requirement.
Ads must be in MP3 format and no longer than 30 seconds. Google has also set up what it's calling an "ad creation marketplace," which will offer to pair advertisers with the providers of audio production services. These firms, which Google suggests will charge from $100 to $1,000 to create an ad, will take care of the voiceover, recording and encoding processes -- everything but the copywriting. Marketers can also bring their own spot.
Portentous as it is for Google to move formally into the production and trafficking of audio ads, many in the marketing community are more focused on the inevitable next step: TV ads.
"Their ultimate goal has got to be to get into television and get a couple percentage points of that business," said Anthony Iaffaldano, VP of marketing for search firm Reprise Media. "They don't need a huge percentage of that for it to be a massive business."
Did-It's Kevin Lee agrees, and notes it's perhaps a bigger leap to go from text to audio ad management, than it is to make the coming transition into video.
"I would imagine that eventually video advertising on the Web and audio podcast advertising on the Web will have a very similar interface to what you see in the radio audio advertising area," Lee said.
Approximately 700 stations are taking part in the test, a number Google hopes will grow into the thousands in the coming year. Some radio stations are reluctant to jump in, however, especially those boasting effective sales forces that are able to get rid of most or all of a station or network's ad inventory.
"An awful lot of that is very low-dollar, because it's remnant," said one radio executive with a major radio network who requested anonymity. "It's based on the philosophy, which I don't necessarily disagree with, that 20 percent of something beats 100 percent of nothing. They may come out to $1 CPM, when we're going out to our advertisers and getting several times that amount. We just haven't weighed whether it would be effective for us yet."
Google notes station owners will have insights into its rates, should they want to take that 20 percent.
"This is taking our dMarc legacy technology to the next level," said Google's Steelberg. "All of our broadcasters have complete visibility of everything we're doing from the audio ads perspective. They have full visibility of rates."
Google declined to quantify ad volume or spending under the beta, and it hasn't named a date for the product's wide release.

text: When I play pick-up ball, my teammates usually know me well enough to run an easy play for me. When everybody is worn down and we just need an easy basket, I'll check the ball at the top of the key, and a teammate will come up and stand in front of my defender. I hand them the ball, they hand it back, I take a step back and fire up a 3-pointer. It's not the most impressive play, but I'm a pretty solid shooter, and if nothing else, at least we get a decent shot off.

Kathleen Horan, Reporter, WNYC News
Kathleen Horan is a staff reporter for New York Public Radio, covering the neighborhood beat. She also reports 'Reset', an ongoing series documenting police-community relations in Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn.
The first senior center in the country specifically for the visually impaired, in Chelsea, has already registered 250 people after being open for two weeks.
Visions Senior Center is one of several innovative senior centers that are slated to open as part of the Bloomberg administration's age-friendly NYC plan.
Manhattan's Dominica Diodatti said she's relieved to have the Visions Senior Center because other programs she's gone to have not had services specifically for the blind, so she's had to rely too much on others.
"Somebody has to get your dish, somebody has to walk you to a table, and they don't always have the help you help you," she explained.
Diodatti teaches knitting at the center. She and many of the others who enjoy services from Visions live in the same building, called Selis Manor. It's a residence with about 350 seeing impaired and disabled tenants on 23rd street, near 7th Avenue.
But not everyone who goes to Visions Senior Center is from the neighborhood. Janet Seth, 66, travels to Visions from Queens about three times a week. She lost her vision 7 years ago.
She said she likes the meals the center provides, but it's the writing classes and a support group for women that have really made a difference to her.
"I was always kind of isolated and kind of shy and since I've been coming here, I've really kind of come out of my shell and leaned how to talk to people," she said.
Senior Administrator Betsy Fabricant said the center serves about 125 meals a day, from 3 to 5 p.m.
Visions Services for the Blind, which is a non-profit agency that has been serving blind New Yorkers was able to expand its programs to focus on senior needs after receiving a three year, $648,000 grant from the Department for the Aging.
The next 'Innovative Senior Center' is expected to open in Manhattan next month. It will serve the senior LGBT community.
Whatever happened to inclusion & universal design? This is, ultimately, divisive, and just doesn't seem right...

Capello hopes England fans do not boo Chelsea captain Terry
England boss Fabio Capello hopes fans do not boo Chelsea captain John Terry tomorrow.
England tackle African Nations Cup winners Egypt at Wembley in their final friendly before Capello names his provisional squad for South Africa.
After carefully crafting the unity that was so obviously missing when he replaced Steve McClaren two years ago, Capello has joined those urging the England fans to lay off the 29-year-old.
"I hope tomorrow the fans help the team," he said. "They understand the private life of some players has not been so good and I know they are worried after what has happened.
"But we are dressed in the England shirt and it's important for us that they help us every moment, so I hope they don't boo John Terry.
"He is a part of the team and an important player for us. Both tomorrow and afterwards, the fans have to think we win important games together."

I'm 27 weeks and for the past week some nausea has returned. Not as bad as first trimester but just waves that hit me at random times throughout the day. This doesn't really concern me. But for the past couple days I have had almost no appetite. I feel like I am eating because I know that I should be. I am eating small amounts of food and nothing looks good and nothing tastes good. I am worried that I am not eating enough. Have any of you experienced this? What is up with that? Thanks

Seattle Sun TanRead MoreEach of Seattle Sun Tan's 39 locations spans between 2,000 and 4,000 square feet of space dedicated solely to the art of un-sunbathing. Washington-state tanners strut down immaculate hallways dotted with framed original paintings and contemporary artwork before settling into private rooms where they may acquire their desired shade while enjoying the sounds of their own music or prerecorded subliminal messages piped in through the iPod dock perched near each bed. The Smart Tan?certified staff guides clients in selecting which of the five levels of UV bed best fits their tanning needs and whether they desire a short tan time, prefer to stand up or lie down, or wish to bask beneath high-pressure face lamps. Shop shelves offer home tanners quality products from Australian Gold and Swedish Beauty, whereas spray-tanning options from VersaSpa and SunFX both impart a natural-looking faux glow that takes mere minutes to apply and lasts for days.1317 W. Bakerview Rd.Bellingham, WA US
The Sugar Shack BellinghamRead MoreAt The Sugar Shack, aestheticians neatly trim nails, wax limbs, pamper faces, and massage backs to help clients unwind from the stresses of daily life. To soothe skin that is inflamed, red, and itchy because of harsh weather or afternoon naps on a beehive, the beauty specialists slather it in a gentle cleanser and calming mask in the Environmental Control facial. Aromatherapy massages rely on essential oils to soothe aching muscles, and gooey paraffin hydrates hands and feet during mani-pedis. The spa exclusively uses Dermalogica elixirs—a product line free of common irritants and ingredients that can cause breakouts.112 Grand AvenueBellingham, WA US
Desert Sun Tanning Salons WashingtonRead MoreDesert Sun Tanning's FormoStar body wraps radiate infrared heat onto the limbs and torso in order to boost metabolism and accelerate the burning of fat. During the 50-minute treatment, clients can adjust the body wrap's temperature to suit their levels of heat tolerance and pyromania. The heat from the wrap helps alleviate muscle pain, promotes calorie burning without muscle or lung fatigue, and stimulates the lymphatic system. The sweating that the treatment induces in users is also thought to exfoliate away dead skin cells.1062 Lakeway Dr.Bellingham, WA US
AvedaRead MoreEva, which uses and sells environmentally friendly Aveda products, caters to hair and skin with an array of rejuvenating services. All hair services, which include a number of coloring options and a women's cut and style ($43), come with an aromatherapy scalp massage to relax the senses and drain collected cranial-stress juices. With many waxing options available, clients can touch up fingers and toes ($10) or prepare for the beach or a scantily clad spelling bee with a Brazilian ($75). The tourmaline radiance facial, a 90-minute holistic microdermabrasion session, utilizes the tourmaline mineral to smooth out fine lines and beautify complexions ($80). Eva's palette of spring colors, as well as a prismatic mosaic of earthy and bright tones, enhances the atmosphere with warmth and style.1201 Cornwall AveBellingham, WA US
Zorganic Beauty Salon & Day SpaRead MoreWhen Frida Emalange opened her first salon in 2001, she recognized the need for a salon in the area that would cater to clients with all types of hair. Now, with her dream salons, Zorganics Health & Beauty, she continues this mission, along with using and selling a line of natural, organic products. Drawing inspiration from Zora—the name of Frida's daughter, as well as a word meaning "dawn" or "rising sun"—the stylists work to make each client's hair and skin look and feel as lovely as the sunrise. Along with hair care that includes couture haircuts, Keratin treatments, cornrows, and full weaves, the staff members pamper nails and skin with organic spa treatments. They also bundle their services into pampering packages that may include candle lit massage, which is what George Washington called it when he cleaned his musket.3930 Meridian StreetBellingham, WA US

Paxton Andrews' parents thought their newborn had a cold when they took him to the pediatrician. Sadly, it turned out that he had cancer. He died just shy of 5 months old.
His parents, John and Danna, who live in Bay View, decided to honor his memory last year with the inaugural Paxfest, which featured local bands including Fever Marlene and Maritime and food from Maxie's Southern Comfort and Blue's Egg. The event raised more than $15,000 for the Pablove Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to funding pediatric cancer research co-founded by Milwaukee native and Elektra Records president Jeff Castelaz, and named after his late son Pablo. »Read Full Article

NEW YORK Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te o has told Katie Couric that he briefly lied about his online girlfriend after discovering she didn t exist.
Te o said in an interview to air Thursday on Couric s show that he didn t lie about the hoax until December, believing Lennay Kekua had died of cancer. A segment of the interview with Te o and his parents was broadcast Wednesday on Good Morning America.
The Heisman Trophy runner-up received a phone call in December from a woman saying she was Kekua, whom he believed had died in September.
Te o said, Now I get a phone call on Dec. 6, saying that she s alive and then I m going be put on national TV two days later. And to ask me about the same question. You know, what would you do?
Te o maintained that he had no part in creating the hoax.

CRUDE: Nov WTI $101.67/bbl, up 6 cents/bbl; Nov BRENT $109.09/bbl, up 3 cents/bbl

December offers were at $1,280-1,285/tonne FOB Korea, which were countered with bids at $1,265-1,272/tonne FOB Korea, yielding a fixture at $1,275/tonne FOB Korea.
TOLUENE: $1,122-1,130/tonne FOB Korea, down $3/tonne at the low end
Offer-bid levels opened marginally lower, weighed down by softer prices in the key China market. November bids were at $1,120/tonne FOB Kroea with no counter offer. December offers were at $1,130/tonne FOB Korea, countered with bids at $1,120-1,124/tonne FOB Korea.

I'm not too fond of this product I prefer a 10 gallon tank. It works if you keep all the pieces together. It's just the pieces come off easy and can get lost quick.
Pros: holds crickets
Cons: only good for short time

French band Flagas'k is determined to try and change the way the city reacts to reggae, finds Zeenab Aneez
"How are audiences in India different from those in France?" On being asked French reggae band Flagas'k a few hours before their performance in the city, "They sit," they replied, accompanied by looks of bemusement. After seven concerts in the country, including ones in Kathmandu and Pondicherry, Flagas'k is quite surprised that concert halls in India have chairs. "In France, they may not come close to the stage as in a rock concert, but they are always standing and moving around," says Brice Barbesange, the band's sound and light engineer who is also essaying the role of drummer for the Indian tour. Still, they are determined to try and change that scene.
"We want people to get up and dance," says Antoine Laveuau, when asked what he is expecting from the evening's show.
The seven member band was formed in 2005 by two childhood friends Antoine and his friend Thomas Caille, who plays the lead guitar. "We simply wanted to play the music we loved," says Antoine, who is on the rhythm guitar and lead vocals. "We grew up with reggae and ska music and as 17 year olds, used to listen to a lot of Manu Chao, La rue Kétanou and other French reggae bands. So when we began to play, it was only natural that we chose this genre," he explains.
The band which became known for its upbeat music and rich sound has done over 200 shows in France, two studio albums and one live album. The line-up includes Francois Bienaime on, Polo Geanneau on bass, Geremie Ferchaud on trumpet and Paul Ferchaud on Trombone. Out of the seven band members only Brice is a full-time musician. "But I am also a sound engineer, that is where I make my money," he clarifies. The others have day jobs that range from plumber to electrician to carpenter. Being a musician in France, they say, is just as tough as it is in India. "In the West Coast, there are many venues for musicians to perform so there is a lot of opportunity, but that also means there is a lot of competition," says Brice, adding "It would be much tougher as you move closer to central France." The band is thankful for the exposure the internet allows them, "It helps us spread our music both in India and in France," says Antoine.
Flagas'k's recent performance at Marigold Hotel was organised by Alliance Francaise, Hyderabad.
Keywords: Flagas'k, French music bands, Hyderabad music shows

During the early 1800s, coachmen in Belgium kept small, wire-haired terrier-type dogs to manage the rodent population in their carriage stables. They were then known as "griffons d'ecurie", which translates to "wire-coated stable dogs." It is thought that the Pug (a Victorian favorite in Britain) was crossed with these humble native Belgian terriers in the mid-1800s, producing a smooth-coated dog called the "Brabancon, after the Belgian national anthem. Around the same time, the King Charles and Ruby varieties of the English Toy Spaniel were also added to the mix, creating two distinct coat types: a harsh, heavily-whiskered rough coat and a smooth coat, both in a rich red color. Together, the native Belgian griffons and the English Toy Terriers, with their big heads, prominent dark eyes and short faces, forever changed the previously rough-and-tumble barn ratter into a beloved companion dog.
In the 1870s, this breed became a favorite of the Belgian queen, Henrietta Maria, which gave them royal patronage and elevated their social status. Brussels Griffons were the darlings of the Belgian elite, and efforts were undertaken to breed them to become even more exaggerated in appearance, with flatter faces and smaller stature. It is unclear which breeds were crossed to accomplish these breed changes, but it is thought that the Affenpinscher, Pug, Yorkshire Terrier, King Charles Spaniel and Dutch Smoushond may have contributed. Regardless of the crosses, the result was the modern Brussels Griffon, which has a shorter and flatter face than its ancestors and is an immensely appealing little dog that retains is favored status as a companion despite the fact that it is no longer needed to hunt vermin or entertain royalty.
The American Brussels Griffon Association was founded in 1945. The breed standard was approved by the AKC in 1960, after it went through several revisions. The parent club was accepted for AKC membership in 1982.
The American Kennel Club is the only large all breed registry that recognizes only the Brussels Griffon; in Europe, there are three small Belgian terriers which are virtually identical in history but differ in coat type and color: the Brussels Griffon (rough red), the Petit Brabancon (smooth of any color), and the Griffon Belge (rough of any color but red).
The Brussels Griffon has a relatively long life expectancy, with ten to fifteen years being usual. However, it has developed significant reproductive problems. Bitches in this breed often do not conceive, and when they do they tend to have difficulty giving birth. Caesarean deliveries are common, litters are unusually small and newborn puppies are often delicate. Often there is only one puppy, with an average mortality rate of 60 percent in the first few weeks. They also may have a breed predisposition to refractory corneal ulceration, cataracts, hip dysplasia and patellar luxation.
With so many dog breeds to choose from, sometime it's easier to seach based on certain characterisitcs.
There is more to caring for your dog than just feeding it. Find out all you need to know to make sure your pet stays healthy.
A dog's behavior plays a key role in making a great pet. Training your dog makes a happier dog, and you will be happier too.

My Corporate Blogging Workshop + At Home With Sania Pell
Good morning everyone! I hope that you had a delightful weekend. I must apologize for not giving you much notice last week but I left quickly on Thursday to travel to Hamburg, Germany for a consulting job at Brigitte magazine and was pretty busy or a few days. I spent a day in their offices beginning with a morning lecture followed by a Q&A about blogging and an afternoon "mini" version of the Blogging Your Way workshops that I typically teach online, only this one was tailored for a magazine staff.
It was a lot of fun to take BYW offline and teach in a corporate setting… as most of you know, I come from a corporate background and spent years teaching workshops to employees so it felt a bit like deja vu. This time, I was able to teach about something that I truly have a passion for, it wasn't that way in the past when some of my workshops centered around sexual harassment, new employee orientation and immigration law! Blogging was a topic that was fun and energizing! I had a nice time (the weather was amazing) and yes, I even fit in a little shopping which I'll share more on tomorrow.
To get started today and with a new week of blogging, I thought I'd first welcome my friend, stylist and author Sania Pell in London, to the world of blogging! I know I've talked about her a million times on decor8 since she helped me so much to prepare things for the launch party for my book (details here), Decorate: 1,000 Inspirational Design Ideas For Every Room In Your Home, at Liberty last month… But did you know that before today Sania didn't have a blog? Oh yes, that's right. In fact, she just launched her new blog this very day and I'm so proud of her! That's why we have to give her a big round of applause for jumping in and getting started. She first found out that blogs even existed a year ago and has been plotting her "entrance" into blogging ever since and so today she rolls out her super shiny new blog called At Home that, thanks to her husband Mark and his amazing design skills over at his company MWA Design in London, it came out just beautifully. I do hope that you'll visit.
Speaking of Ms. Pell, she has prepared a few DIY projects for you taken directly from the table styling demonstration that we dreamed up for Liberty. She'll be back in a moment to visit us today with all of her gorgeous DIY photos and how-to instructions – you'll love it.
In addition to her posts coming up, I have lots of other great things to share and our monthly guest columnist, Anna-Malin Lindgren from Sweden is back with her monthly post too so stay tuned, Monday is going to be a great one.

Possible Observation of
a Satellite of a Minor Planet
pdf ps
David W. Dunham
P. O. Box 488, Silver
Spring, Maryland 20907
On March 5, just before 2h
35m U.T., an occultation of 3.6-mag. gamma Ceti by the minor planet (6) Hebe
was observed from locations in and near Mexico City. Simultaneously, Paul
Maley, an amateur from Houston, observed a short secondary occultation from a
location from Victoria, Texas, 900 km to the north, possibly caused by a
satellite of Hebe. Dynamical considerations show that such a satellite is
possible. Confirmation of such events during future occultations would be
desirable. This underscores the need for observation by as many professional
and amateur astronomers as possible, visually and photoelectrically, during
predicted special occultation events.

First I turned the power to the stove off at the breaker box. Next I removed the two screws holding the old element in place against the back wall of the oven. I gently pulled the element forward. I wound a couple lengths of spare colored wire around the two electrical wires before disconnecting the retainer screws at their connection points. This insured that the electric wires would not fall back inside and behind the firewall. I then disconnected the screws holding the electrical wires to the broiler element. I removed the element from the oven and discarded it. I then connected the screws through wires and the connecting points of the new element. I removed the spare wires hold the electrical wires. I positioned the broiler element in place and screwed in the retainer screws securing it in place. I turned the breaker switch to the "on" position and tested the new broiler element. It tested fine. Job done in 15 to 20 minutes. An able bodied person could do it in less than 10 I'm sure.

Swingweight - the most important spec

I agree. My Blade only started feeling light to me once I consistently involved my torso in every shot and used my offhand properly on my forehand. And to be honest, I may prefer that weight - who knows.
But my first foray back into 12oz land was really fun with this stick. I did not have any issues with the weight, and my serve seemed to move the same. I just focused on hitting the ball with my body and everything was fine. It takes a while to figure out ideal weights, so I am still messing around.
One thing is that the higher SW makes tennis easier in a way. It just ensures you will hit a ball back that is deep. With a stock blade, it takes more rotation and effort to not cough up a short ball on my backhand side if Im pulled wide. The high SW version gives me a lot more pop for my effort. I hit a pretty compact and flat backhand, and it was very easy to crack it deep even if pulled wide.
Forehand is where I question my lead placement. I have it at 12, and since the Blade is already polarized in stock form, I felt it twisting on my forehand sometimes. I also felt like the lead at 12 lent itself more towards brushing the ball, and I like to hit through it. I still was able to adjust and hit my forehand, but I am thinking lead at 3 and 9 suit me better.
Either way, I will have it set up so my SW is around 345, which I feel is pretty high, but not insane.

Comments made during the course of this conference call and webcast and accompanying documents contain forward-looking statements and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Many of these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of the words such as anticipates, believes, expects, intends, will, should, may and similar expressions. The company's actual results could differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements for any reason, including those listed in its SEC filings. Ares Capital Corporation assumes no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. Please also note that past performance or market information is not a guarantee of future results.
During this conference call, the company may discuss core earnings per share or core EPS, which is a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by SEC Regulation G. Core EPS, excluding professional fees and other costs related to Ares Capital Corporation's acquisition of Allied Capital Corporation, is the net per share increase or decrease in stockholders' equity resulting from operations, less professional fees and other costs related to the Allied Acquisition, realized and unrealized gains and losses, any incentive management fees attributable to such realized and unrealized gains and losses, any income taxes related to such realized gains and other adjustments as noted.
A reconciliation of core EPS, excluding professional fees and other costs related to the Allied acquisition, to the net per share increase or decrease in stockholders' equity resulting from operations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure can be found on the company's website at arescapitalcorp.com. The company believes that core EPS provides useful information to investors regarding financial performance because it is one method the company uses to measure its financial condition and results of operations.
Certain information discussed in this presentation, including information relating to portfolio companies, was derived from third-party sources, and has not been independently verified. And accordingly, the company makes no representation or warranty in respect of this information.
At this time, we would like to invite participants to access the accompanying slide presentation by going to the company's website at www.arescapitalcorp.com, and clicking on the Q3 '11 Investor Presentation link on the homepage of the Investor Resources section of the website. Ares Capital Corporation's earnings release and quarterly report are also available on the company's website.
I will now turn the call over to Mr. Michael Arougheti, Ares Capital Corporation's President. Mr. Arougheti, the floor is yours, sir.
Michael J. Arougheti
Great. Thank you. Good morning, everyone, and thanks for joining us. I'm joined today by the Senior Partners of Ares Management's Private Debt Group, Eric Beckman, Kipp deVeer, Mitch Goldstein and Michael Smith; our Chief Financial Officer, Penni Roll; and Carl Drake and Scott Lem, who Head our Investor Relations and Accounting teams, respectively.
This morning, we issued our third quarter earnings press release and posted an investor presentation on our website that highlights certain financial data. We'll refer to this information presentation later in our call.
I'd also like to first start with a discussion of recent market trends and how they continue to influence our business and strategy. I'll then highlight key elements of our third quarter performance before turning the call over to Penni, who will take you through our quarterly results in greater detail. Finally, I'll cover our recent investment activity, the state of our current portfolio and update you on our backlog and pipeline before taking questions.
Throughout this year, liquidity in the debt capital markets has ebbed and flowed, often influenced by macroeconomic and political events. Rapidly changing fund flows have influenced loan volume, repayments, pricing and ultimately, the risk-adjusted return opportunity for capital providers. Following slowing inflows into bank loan and high-yield bond funds during the second quarter, the market experienced a sharp reversal during the third quarter, as investors reacted toward increased European sovereign debt issued, the fallout from the U.S. Treasury debt downgrade and signs of slowing economic trends.
The ensuing volatility generally lead to reduced loan and high-yield bond volume, increased credit spreads and more conservative capital structures. For example, according to S&P, third quarter broadly syndicated new issue leverage loan volume declined 57%, and high-yield new issue volume dropped by 70% compared to second quarter levels. Also, during the third quarter, average credit spreads widened by approximately 200 basis points in the broadly syndicated leveraged loan market and leverage multiples began to head slightly lower. In addition, the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index declined about 5%, and the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index declined more than 8% during the third quarter.
Our core market, the middle market for leveraged loans, was less volatile during the third quarter, as most investors in our market are buy-and-hold in nature and are less likely to quickly exit investments in reaction response to global capital markets events. For example, according to Thomson Reuters' middle market loan index, bid prices declined only 2.2% during the third quarter.

Campus Housing:
Each residence hall, or college, is built very different so your experience depends on which hall you are randomized into. The colleges range from apartment style to communal. The social atmosphere is great at all of the colleges.
Campus Housing:
The best part about campus housing is the residential college system because it not only creates a sense of community and identity amongst the students, but contributes to the social atmosphere.
Campus Housing:
While not all of the residential colleges are created equal in terms of housing facilities, even the "lesser" dorms are still some of the nicest I've seen. In general, the old colleges/dorms have been remodeled, and the new colleges are very nice. Rooms are large and there's plenty of space. Other colleges I've visited squeeze three people into 2/3 the space that my room,ate and I share. Also, unlike a lot of larger schools, you will usually only have a single roommate. Some dorms are organized into doubles with a shared bathroom (such as McMurtry), while others have communal bathrooms (such as Brown), and others are Suite-style with a common room (such as Weiss)
Campus Housing:
I love the living situation here. The residential college system is wonderful and unique. The only downside is that you have a chance of having to live off campus for one year, but it is a good experience.
Campus Housing:
On-campus life is a cornerstone of the experience. Everyone wants to live on campus and the warm, accepting social atmosphere is the reason why.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Rice students tend to be very pleased with campus living and the residential colleges. Unlike most universities, you do not get to pick your dorm at Rice. As an incoming student, you will be randomly assigned to a college, and most students stay at this college until graduation. You will be associated with the college even while living off campus. Transferring between colleges is an option, but no more than a handful of students take this route. Students are more likely to move "deep OC (off campus)" if they are highly dissatisfied with their college.
Each residential college becomes something like a family unit, and each has a special personality, spirit, and unique set of traditions. During freshman orientation week, freshman advisers have a high success rate of thoroughly brainwashing the newbie students into believing that their college is head and shoulders above all the other colleges. The buildings themselves vary because they were built with different architectural styles and at different times.

Has Lance Armstrong hit rock bottom yet?
The former seven-time Tour de France champion has had a swift fall from grace, with his status falling from one of the most-lauded men in America to one of its most derided.
The rumors surrounding Armstrong and doping had been quietly building for years, but tensions finally came to a head in August when Armstrong decided to stop challenging the United States Anti-Doping Agency's case against him. That effectively opened himself up to whatever punishments they wanted to enforce, which included a lifetime ban from the sport and the stripping of his Tour titles.
That wasn't the end of Armstrong's troubles, however. Almost immediately after the announcement of Armstrong's consequences in October, most of his sponsors, including Nike, jumped ship. Armstrong even stepped down as chairman of the cancer-fighting foundation that he founded, the Lance Armstrong Foundation.
Apparently not having Armstrong in a leadership role wasn't enough, however. On Wednesday the foundation announced that it was removing Armstrong's name from theirs, and will now be called the Livestrong Foundation, according to The Associated Press.
The foundation's spokeswoman said the name change was approved by the Texas Secretary of State on Oct. 30, but the organization as a whole wanted to continue on with its mission despite its original connection to Armstrong.
Phil Jackson wasn't the only prospective Lakers coach with health concerns.
"I'm not going to lie. The New York City nightlife pretty much got to me. I was going out pretty much every other night and not focused on the task at hand."
