LOS ANGELES (May 2)...The wait is finally over. After an injury-plagued 2011 campaign, Three-Division World Champion Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero will return to the ring on Saturday, July 28 at HP Pavilion in San Jose, Calif. to face unbeaten power puncher Selcuk "Mini Tyson" Aydin for the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) Interim Welterweight World Championship in a fight to be televised live on SHOWTIME.
Tickets, priced at $252, $127, $62, and $26, go on sale on Friday, May 4 at 10:00 a.m. PT and can be purchased online at Ticketmaster.com, charge by phone at (800) 745-3000 and at the HP Pavilion Ticket Office.
Guerrero vs. Aydin, a 12-round fight for the WBC Interim Welterweight World Championship, is presented by Golden Boy Promotions in association with Arena-Box Promotion and sponsored by Corona and AT&T. The SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast will air live at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the West Coast) with co-featured events to be announced and preliminary fights to air live on SHOWTIME EXTREME® at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT
An inspiring young man in and out of the ring, Gilroy, California's Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero (29-1-1, 18 KO's) has captivated the boxing world ever since his professional debut in 2001, and he is far from finished. In fact, it seems that Guerrero sets the bar higher for himself with each fight, always passing each progressively more difficult test with flying colors. Already a World Champion at 126, 130 and 135 pounds, the 28-year-old Guerrero's list of conquests includes Joel "Cepillio" Casamayor, Jason Litzau, Vicente Escobedo and Michael Katsidis "The Great." The 29-year-old southpaw sharpshooter, who is becoming as well known for his charity work outside of the ring as he is for his work inside the ring, will close in on a spot at the top of the pound-for-pound list should he turn back his toughest opponent to date in the hard-hitting brawler Aydin.
Known to his fans around the world as "Mini Tyson" because of his thunderous punching power, 28-year old WBC Silver welterweight titleholder and Trabzon, Turkey native Selcuk Aydin (23-0, 17 KO's) has also earned that moniker with a ferocious style that has made him one of the most popular fighters in his adopted home country of Germany. Aydin turned professional in 2006 and has cut a swath through the welterweight division, winning all 23 of his fights and knocking out 17 opponents in Mike Tyson-style...in three rounds or less. Among his list of vanquished foes are contenders Said Ouali, Jackson Bonsu and Ionut Dan Ion, but a title capturing win over Guerrero would be his biggest to date, and Aydin is focused on the task at hand, even giving himself a new nickname: "The Ghostbuster."

Originally written on The Football Fan Spot | Last updated 11/19/14
Today was the deadline for franchise players to sign long term deals with their teams. Among the players left unsigned was the Lions' Cliff Avril. Hours after the deadline, it was reported that Avril rejected a 3 year, 30 million dollar deal, with 20 million guaranteed from the Lions and that that was their final offer. Obviously, a 3 year deal is less than ideal, but 20 million guaranteed is a pretty good chunk of change and Avril is only 26 so this would have set him up for another big pay day in 2015, at age 29, should he continue to produce. Avril is a very good pass rusher, with 12 sacks, 9 quarterback hits, and 41 quarterback pressures last year (including playoffs). That's good for a sack/pressure/hit on 11.5% of all pass rush snaps. However, he struggles against the run, part of the Lions' concern with him. Avril was likely seeking Charles Johnson money (6 years, 76 million, 32 million guaranteed) and the Lions were having no part of that. A free agent again next offseason, ...

WR Johnson upset after Bills open with a dud
Not good enough.
That was the message delivered by receiver Stevie Johnson after the Buffalo Bills returned to practice Saturday, two days after the offense produced a preseason-opening dud.
''It's only so long where you can be the old Bills getting beat around this conference,'' Johnson said. ''Preseason game, practice, we've got to be better if we want to get to where we want to be.''
The high expectations the Bills (No. 19 in the AP Pro32) carried into training camp were dealt a setback after the offense bumbled through a 7-6 loss to the Washington Redskins on Thursday.
Buffalo's starters managed just two first downs and 40 net yards in three possessions. Worse yet, they settled for a field goal on their second drive, which began at the Redskins 21 following a fumble recovery.
Instead of looking like the productive offense that helped the team get off to a 5-2 start last season, the Bills on Thursday resembled more the unit that came unraveled in losing eight of its final nine games.
Johnson refused to use limited playing time or first-game jitters as an excuse.
''We're the ones (starters) so we've got to play like ones,'' Johnson said. ''It's only so long before it's going to be Week 1, when we'll be going out there and playing against the Jets. So let's get it going.''
The Bills look to rebound in preparing for a game at Minnesota on Friday.
Coach Chan Gailey was pleased in being relayed Johnson's comments, because they echoed the message he issued to players in a meeting before practice.
''I'm glad he feels that way. If everybody doesn't feel that way then we're in trouble,'' Gailey said. ''We made progress last year, but it's not going to happen just because we did it last year. You've got to make it happen again this year.''
Ryan Fitzpatrick was sacked on the first play from scrimmage and didn't convert a first down until his third and final drive, and only after the Bills went with a no-huddle attack. He finished 6 of 14 for 61 yards passing, including two completions to Johnson.
The second- and third-string units were just as ineffective behind Tyler Thigpen and Vince Young, who are competing for the backup job.
Thigpen failed to score despite a possession in which he took seven snaps inside the Redskins' 10 yard-line.
Young took over to start the second half, and finished 5 of 12 for 50 yards, and led the Bills with 37 yards rushing. That included a 21-yard keeper on third-and-20.
Lack of discipline was a big issue for Buffalo, which was penalized 14 times for 134 yards. Things got so bad that fullback Corey McIntyre, rookie offensive lineman Mark Asper and rookie receiver T.J. Graham were each flagged for false-start penalties four plays apart during Buffalo's first possession of the second quarter.
''Yeah, that is just undisciplined,'' Gailey said. That is my fault. I have to get that straight.''
The starters looked a little bit better in practice Saturday, especially in the red zone. Fitzpatrick went one stretch completing three consecutive touchdown passes.
He hit David Nelson in a crowd over the middle. He hit Derek Hagan with a quick out to the left, and then the receiver deked past cornerback Stephon Gilmore on his way into the end zone. And Fitzpatrick threw a perfect fade pass, hitting T.J. Graham on the run in the right corner of the end zone.
The offense then took a step back in closing practice when it failed to score during a two-minute drill session. Practice ended when Fitzpatrick missed Johnson deep over the middle in what appeared to be a miscommunication between the two.
Running back Fred Jackson was unhappy with the team's performance on Thursday, but considered it a good lesson and something the Bills can build off of.
''If we go out there and play like that, we're going to lose a lot of football games,'' Jackson said. ''We can't overreact, but we do need to learn from it.''
NOTES: WR Nelson returned to practice after missing the preseason game and much of the previous 10 days with a sprained right knee. ... DT Spencer Johnson was held out with what Gailey called a minor injury to his left shoulder. ... Gailey said C Eric Wood (coming off season-ending right knee surgery) is targeted to make his preseason debut in two weeks, when the Bills host Pittsburgh.

College Football Bowl Picks
Beef O'Brady's Bowl Preview

Beef O'Brady's Bowl Pick – December 21st
The Beef O'Brady's Bowl will be a de facto home game for the UCF Knights, as they take the short drive from Orlando down to St. Petersburg for what should be a great bowl betting bash against the Ball State Cardinals.
UCF was unlucky not to win Conference USA this year, which would have sent it over to the Liberty Bowl instead of the Beef O'Brady's Bowl. It's not that big of a deal for the program, which probably makes out better because of this. Next year, it's off to the Big East for the Knights, and it's probably off to bowl ineligibility as well, knowing that the team has some NCAA sanctions coming. QB Blake Bortles isn't worried about that right now though, as he is leading a very talented team onto to the field at the Trop for this one. Bortles threw for 2,787 yards and 22 TDs this year, and he was also one of the four men that had at least 200 rushing yards as well. RB Latavius Murray is the one that is going to be called upon the most, as he had 1,035 yards and 14 TDs on the campaign. Keep an eye on WR Jeff Godfrey in this one. He caught 36 passes for 400 yards and three TDs, but he is a converted quarterback and has also thrown for a pair of TDs on trick plays to boot.
Poor Ball State might be in line to lose its head coach in the closing days coming into this bowl game, as Head Coach Pete Lembo is on the short list for a number of more high profile jobs throughout the country. As it is though, this was a team that played well in the MAC this year, and it is a very deserving club to be in this bowl game when push comes to shove. The Cardinals won their last six games and covered five of those six, and they were very near to being a BCS busting type of team had they beaten the Northern Illinois Huskies (lost by 12) and the Kent State Golden Flashes (lost by two). QB Keith Wenning put the ball in the air a ton this year, throwing it 426 times. He only had 2,878 yards and 22 TDs though, while the ground game was picked up by RB Jahwan Edwards, who had 1,321 yards and 14 scores. Defensively, this team just gave up a slew of yards on the ground though, as the 205.8 yards per game isn't going to cut it in the Beef O'Brady's Bowl.
Murray might have a huge game for the Knights, but Wenning isn't going to back down with his very well-rounded offense. We do think that UCF is going to get a rare bowl win in this one, but we like the chances that the Cardinals have of covering this relatively big number in what should be a close call of a game in St. Pete. UCF 34 – Ball State 31

This research used survey data collected between 2005 and 2006 in rural Kentucky to empirically investigate how different types of rural households in Kentucky cope with the changes in economic environment during the post-tobacco buyout by employing two different family business models, the Agricultural Household Model and the Sustainable Family Business Model. Data were analyzed using a multinomial probit model. The results indicate that multi-generational households were more likely to invest in low risk investments and less likely to employ a family member off-farm than couples with young children. Therefore, family structure plays an important part in the types of adjustment strategies chosen by farm families. The results also indicate that the Sustainable Family Business Model is a better predictor of the observed correlation between family structure and family farms' choices of adaptation strategies.

The Iberian wolf lives in increasingly humanised landscapes, with limited food resources and its presence is not always welcome. But, according to Spanish researchers, food availability plays a secondary role compared to landscape characteristics, which can offer refuge and allow wolves to remain in human-dominated environments in Galicia.
The habitat of the Iberian wolf (Canis lupus signatus) varies greatly across the Iberian Peninsula and its diet revolves around what is available, ranging from wild animals to domestic waste. In contrast, this predator is able to survive in humanised landscapes where characteristics provide them refuge from humans.
"Although the wolf boasts highly adaptable strategies for survival, landscape is the factor we have analysed that best explains their distribution across Galicia," as explained to SINC by Luis Llaneza, researcher at Asesores en Recursos Naturales (A.RE.NA.) and lead author of the study published in the 'Diversity and Distributions' journal.
His research has allowed for the analysis of the relative influence of landscape attributes, human presence and food resources and the existence of wolves over an area of 30.000 km2 in the north-west of the Peninsula.
The scientists concentrated on indirect signs of the animal to identify their distribution in Galicia. In total, 1,594 excrement samples were analysed, which were then verified using DNA molecular analysis to locate them in the territory.
The results revealed that landscape properties are decisive in terms of animal safety at a level of 48%, whereas the presence of humans (buildings and roads) is influential at a level of 35% and food availability as 17%. Llaneza says that "as long as tolerated by humans, the wolf can be found in any place where there is refuge and food."
According to the scientists' model, the presence of wolves would increase if there were more semi-wild horses and wild un

I should clear up my last post. To start, I'm not rallying against marketing. I have a very specific way I like to see marketing handled, and while it definitely differs from traditional tactics and strategies, I do recognize the other way works.
The other way, the traditional way, is quite simply outbound promotion. Selling. Pressing. Engaging. That last one is where it gets fuzzy. I hear marketers talking about engagement but practicing interruption. And that's where I take issue.
Instead of finding ways to get anyone in front of anyone else, look for ways to open up, maybe even invite others in. It's not about interrupting, or even engaging. It's about letting them engage you. (If you must use that word.)
Maybe this looks like I'm just playing with words, forming sentences to make my way look noble and the other way look corrupt. But, like I mentioned, I recognize there's a place for both, providing the priorities are straight.
Enter the consultant.
I'd like start this part out by saying I don't have anything against marketing consultants or SEO specialists or social media experts in general. But, if "in general" represents the typical form of each, I definitely have an issue with their playbooks.
I'll start with SEO specialists. Without piling on, I'd just like to point out what I think went wrong. Search engines reward very specific characteristics like code structure and hierarchy, incoming links, and content relevancy. These characteristics exist organically in any well formed site, but there are also basic tactics an SEO can employ to not only mimic these characteristics but also exaggerate them. The SEO playbook takes advantage of this fact and aggressively leverages tactics, hacks, and cheats. So, rather than allowing the search engines to properly index and rank information, it deceives them into sliding you in front of people you wouldn't have otherwise been in front of, and that drives certain results an SEO can profit from.
So what, right? Right. I don't expect any company to worry about an imaginary code of ethics or use good manners or avoid disruptive marketing or anything really. Unless they're cool. It's when SEO advice is given to companies who do hold themselves to that imaginary code, who do avoid deception, and who are respectful of customers that I get frustrated. Especially when the company comes back to the development team with their new plays and a "why didn't you think of this?" look on their face. They don't see that altering descriptive content or stuffing keywords or farming links is deceptive, because it's just code stuff, simple hacks to stay ahead of a bot and get in front of more people.
Getting in front of people has been pitched by marketers for so long now, it just seems like part of doing business. Whereas making it easy for people to get in front of you rarely gets mention. My opinion is that your online strategy should focus more on the later and less on the former. Which brings me to yesterday's rant against certain social media strategies.
I see a lot of the social media playbook heading down the same trail SEO went. Expert advice focuses on sneaking companies in front of buyers. Everybody needs to look like they spend time on (and care about) facebook. Everybody needs to have a bunch of followers on twitter. Everybody needs to look like they get it, and look like they care. Because there are unsuspecting buyers in there.
I'm not suggesting companies shouldn't play in facebook. I'm suggesting they shouldn't troll there, accumulating friends for the coming sales pitch. Don't put up a show of caring about a community if you're only there to find new buyers. Participate. Or don't. Just hang out and let people find you. Let them find your content, don't press it on them. Let them dm or ping or poke you first. That's being cool.
So, to close this down, I think there's a pretty good chance that at least two of the social media guys I spoke to yesterday will see this. From what I can tell, at least one of [them] is helping clients better understand how to actually participate. So, good on ya. But [the other one] will have to continue to disagree with me or take offense by my suggestion that barking sales pitches into a social network is like taking AFLAC pamphlets to your little sister's class reunion. Maybe your client isn't cool and doesn't care why that's wrong. But I'm guessing that isn't the case. I'm guessing they look to the expert to lead them a bit.
And then there's the expert who won't read this post who wanted us to refer him to our clients in need of more friends. We aren't even talking about him. Or the expert who charged a real life friend of mine for a customized MySpace profile. That one happened prior to yesterday, but that's when I heard about it. Surely, each of them had a business case for their services. I'm pretty sure, though, that neither of them subscribes the be cool strategy.
Maybe I'm wrong. I'm on twitter and facebook if you need me.

New Webinar for Birth Pros: "Making It Work! – Breastfeeding Tips for the Working Mom"
I often share in childbirth classes that breastfeeding can be the next big challenge after birth. As a childbirth educator, I weave breastfeeding information throughout my class series. By the time the "breastfeeding" part of the class happens towards the end of the series, the families are eager and ready to learn how to be as prepared as possible to feed their baby, without actually having baby there yet to "practice" with.
I provide additional follow up resources for the families as well, including where to get help locally with breastfeeding issues, what current best practice says on a variety of breastfeeding topics and useful videos like effective hand expression. Returning to work and breastfeeding is one topic that I feel is important to cover, but often gets short shrift due to lack of time. Families don't even have their babies in their arms yet, and the "return to work" point still seems very far off, and I have a lot of information to share in a short class time. In some areas, there are specific classes that families can attend that specialize in the "breastfeeding for the working parent" topic, but not many families can locate or take advantage of this type of class.
I would love to be able to support my families long after their childbirth education class is over with information they can use and apply for the working/breastfeeding parent, and that is why I am planning on attending Lamaze International's free (non-Lamaze members $20) 60 minute webinar "Making It Work! Breastfeeding Tips for the Working Mom" offered on March 26th at 1:00 PM EST.
It is well documented that exclusive breastfeeding rates drop significantly when women return to work or school. There are many barriers to overcome and prenatal information and support can help families to prepare for the time when babies are being cared for by others and still being breastfed. This online webinar is appropriate for doulas, childbirth educators, lactation consultants, nursing staff, physicians and midwives.
The webinar is being presented by Patty Nilsen, RN, BSN, BA, IBCLC, ANLC. Patty is an Outpatient Lactation Consultant for Mount Carmel East, West & St. Ann's Hospitals in Columbus, Ohio, where she provides daily private outpatient lactation consultation for women experiencing challenges and in need of encouragement with breastfeeding, leads weekly breastfeeding support groups, and answers over 300 breastfeeding helpline calls per month. Patty has learned many innovative tips for returning to work and breastfeeding from the thousands of mothers she has worked with over the years and is eager to share them in this webinar.
The webinar is open to all, and Lamaze International members are able to attend at no cost. Non-members will pay $20 at registration to participate. Additionally, this workshop has been approved for continuing nursing education hours which are accepted by DONA, Lamaze, ICEA and other birth professional organizations. The cost for receiving continuing education hours for Lamaze members is $35 and for non-members is $55, (which includes the cost of the webinar). As mentioned above, Lamaze members attend for free, if they are not enrolled for the contact hours. Contact hours are awarded after completing the webinar and a post-webinar evaluation. CERPS are pending.
You can register for the webinar (select contact hours or no-contact hours) at this link – and then prepare to join on Thursday at 1:oo PM EST. After the webinar, come back and share your top takeaways and how you are going to use this information to support families in your area with other Science & Sensibility readers.

Thank you Walt and Bob for bringing winning baseball back to Cincy
Nov. 13, 2007: One of the greatest days in Reds history: John Allen gets the boot!
Hubba (07-26-2013),RedlegJake (07-26-2013)
I don't get the Cingrani/Peavy trade at all. Cingrani is a rookie and having a better year. 2012 was first year Peavy had 25 starts since 2008. Ramirez is a slight step up from Cozart but makes a ton more.
Starlin Castro is a great fit, but I don't see Cubs dealing him within the division. Set up man in a walk year is one thing, potential star SS another.
coachpipe (07-26-2013)
Even after acquiring Matt Garza earlier this week, reports have indicated that the Rangers are looking for offensive upgrades. They've been linked to Alex Rios, Hunter Pence and Kendrys Morales already, and Jon Heyman of CBS Sports now reports that the team has had internal discussions about re-acquiring Michael Young, given the news that Lance Berkman could miss the remainder of the season or even retire.
Heyman cautions that a Young trade isn't a likely outcome, and the Rangers are still more focused on adding outfield bats as they await the fate of Biogenesis-connected outfielder Nelson Cruz. The Yankees, Red Sox and Reds are all said to be considering Young as well.
Young could provide something something off the bench
No way do the Reds need that salary
"But I do know Joey's sister indirectly (or foster sister) and I have heard stories of Joey being into shopping, designer wear, fancy coffees, and pedicures."
Young would definitely be an improvement off the bench over Hanahan, but how much is that worth in a trade? Especially factoring in the money... don't see it happening.
All Young really gives you is a nice batting average that has dropped in recent years from the .300 level to the high .270's. He can't play any position well.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."

When the Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) Executive service is restarted in Microsoft SMS 2003, some SMS-related registry keys and registry values may appear in incorrect locations in the registry.
For example, after the Backup SMS Site Server task has finished or after the SMS site server has been restarted, the
SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMSsubkey appear in the following incorrect locations in the registry:
In addition to the errors noted, the SMS Inbox Manager component may stop replicating data from drive letter:\SMS\Inboxes to the Client Access Point (CAP) servers. This may occur for all or some of the inboxes that exist on the CAP. No specific errors appear in the Inboxmgr.log file, the inbox is just not referenced. For example, Offermgr.box Pkginfo.box will not be be replicated to the CAP servers.
This problem occurs because SMS creates a new registry key or new registry value in an incorrect registry location instead of opening an existing registry key or registry value. This problem only occurs when multiple threads read from the registry at the same time by a multithreaded application such as the SMS Executive service.

Fancy Rubber Gloves
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Make dish-washing glamorous with this fun and easy sewing project, perfect for a homemade Mother's Day gift. Add an oilcloth ruffle and ribbon or ric-rac border to boring rubber gloves for fashionable housework. Project designed by Little Birdie Secrets. Find this craft project and 18 other Mother's Day crafts in the Mother's Day Crafts: Blogger Edition 2010 eBook.
- Household rubber gloves (Walmart has white ones, Target has blue--check dollar stores, too)
- Oil Cloth (¼ yd. cut is enough)
- Ribbon or trim
- Sewing machine
- Hot glue gun
- Put the gloves on and measure around the end (largest part of the glove that is on your arm). You want your finished, pleated oilcloth to be ½ an inch larger than this measurement. My gloves were 10 inches around so I wanted my pleated oilcloth to be 10 ½ inches long.
- Cut your oilcloth. I cut my oil cloth to be 4 inches wide and approximately 37 inches long. Pleat the oilcloth by making small folds (about 1/4" to 1/2" long) and sewing over the fold across entire piece.
- Take the short edges of the oil cloth, put them right sides together, and sew them using a ¼" seam. You should now have a ring of pleated oilcloth.
- Slide the glove onto your sewing machine. Place the oilcloth wrong-side out on the machine over the glove, leaving a 1/2" of glove at the top, and stitch together.
- This step is optional, but very cute. Use pinking shears to cut the unsewn, bottom edge of the oilcloth.
- Hot glue coordinating ribbon around the glove, leaving two long tails on the top of the glove (if you want a bow). Tie the tails in a bow. Tip: It's easier to tie the bow if you can have someone else wear the gloves while you do it.
- Go do those dishes like the hot mama that you are!

I would like to say that most (if not all) Wal Marts are removing the Fabric Departments from their stores. This includes Oil Cloth, also. It will be a sad day when crafters and sewing people cannot buy fabric at an affordable price. The $1.00 and $2.00 per yard are my favorites for crafting. Please, those of you who shop at the Craft Departments of Wal Mart, write a letter to Wal Mart and tell them how important this department is to you. Maybe if they get enough letters concerning this matter, Wal Mart will consider ceasing the removal of the Fabric choices that we so appreciate for our sewing and crafting. Thank You, Theresa Rentfro PS--Go to the Wal Mart website to email a request, if you prefer.

Despite alarming obesity rates among school-age children and a state requirement that all students get some level of structured exercise every week, many New York City schools do not provide physical education, or do not provide it as frequently as they should, according to an audit released on Tuesday by the city comptroller.

"Loved the quality and graphics of this card. Rounded the corners and had the back done in a light cream (same light yellow from front) and it was perfect! Can't wait to mail them out!"
"Loved the invitation. Pared it with black envelope and used gold ink to address them. Set the tone for a casual but elegant rehearsal dinner."
"First time customer and I couldn't be more pleased with the rehearsal dinner invitations I ordered. The wide selection of designs, ease of ordering, quality paper, and quick delivery. I hope they will expand to have personalized products, other than bridal or invitations, such as business/personal stationery. A pleasure doing business with Wedding Paper Divas and will highly recommend to friends and family."

Israel Well-Situated for Possible Assad Downfall
Arguably first to advocate Syrian regime change, a widely popular position now
The news isn't that Israel, as Ambassador Michael Oren told the Christian Science Monitor yesterday, sees "a possible ouster of [President] Assad as affording an opportunity to us." The news is that this is news. He said much the same thing to Tablet Magazine Mideast columnist Lee Smith last month. As early as June, he felt compelled to send a letter to the editor of the Wall Street Journal clarifying Israel's feelings. Everybody assumed Israel preferred the strife-filled stability of the Assad regime to an unknown that could include an Islamist takeover. But, in arguably situating Israel as the first country (there are now many) to advocate regime change in Damascus, Oren insisted, "Allied with Iran, Assad has helped supply 55,000 rockets to Hezbollah and 10,000 to Hamas, very likely established a clandestine nuclear arms program and profoundly destabilized the region. The violence he has unleashed on his own people demonstrating for freedoms confirms Israel's fears that the devil we know in Syria is worse than the devil we don't."
Relatively speaking, the past month has been fairly quiet on the Syrian front. Earlier this week, the heroic U.S. Ambassador Robert Ford—in her new book, by the way, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice regrets pulling the Syrian ambassador in 2005—temporarily departed due to "credible threats" against him. Yesterday, a prominent opposition group requested international protection from an impending crackdown. Hezbollah recently insisted Assad has left the revolutionary "danger zone" behind. Compared to the past months, which have involved mass sieges of major cities and thousands of protesters killed in the streets, it seems pacific.
But a new poll finds that in Arab countries support for Assad versus the opposition groups ranges from 17 percent to 0 percent (ups to Jordan!), which is nothing short of incredible and inspiring. So, here's another reason for Israel to root for Assad's downfall: It will put it on the right side of the Arab Spring. And the dramatic death of Muammar Qaddafi is reportedly revivifying protests. "The focus of the world will now turn to Syria," said the opposition Syrian National Council's leader after the former Libyan dictator was executed. "It's Syria's turn to receive attention."

The iPhone is perfect. It has iMessages, SMS, Calling, it has the iPod app (the best music app on any smartphone), and has tapatalk which is used for browsing forumz. You pretty much HAVE to get the iPhone.
That being said, the iPhone 4 has the much better display (Retina), it has 2 cameras, I think the iPhone 4 has better cameras than the last. It has facetime, it has a better CPU thingy (A4 I think) and it will be supported longer than the iPhone 3GS will. The 3GS is pretty much unsupported now, so it would be like getting a 8800 GTX now. Sure it can do the job fairly well, but go big or go home. And think about it, this will be your phone for 2 years is it? Do you really want to start of with a phone that is already ancient?
There's a reason the phone is free. You get what you pay for.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A few weeks ago a group of people in the Netherlands reserved a large hall in hopes of breaking the world record for falling dominoes. Their goal was to set up and then topple 4,321,000 of the rectangular black tiles. While they were working, a sparrow flew in an open window and accidentally knocked over 23,000 pieces. It was only a temporary setback, however. The record-seekers restored the prematurely fallen pieces and ultimately achieved their goal. I predict that this vignette will have a metaphorical similarity to your destiny in 2006. If you assign yourself an epic yet fun goal (which I hope you will), you'll probably experience an unforeseen interruption, but will prevail in the end. (P.S. Don't do anything like what the Dutch people did, which was shoot the bird.)
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Stage magician David Copperfield made an intriguing announcement recently. He told the German magazine Galore that in his next show, he will use magic to make a woman pregnant—without touching her. That's similar to the kind of mojo you will possess in 2006, Capricorn. It's true that your success in the past has usually come from your pragmatic intelligence, organizational ability, and thoroughness. But in the coming months you will also have a talent for conjuring beautiful illusions that ultimately become very real.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Every person you know has a different idea about who you are, and none of those notions is exactly the same as the image you have of yourself. in other words, there are hundreds of unauthorized versions of you in addition to the one you believe in. Usually you don't have much power to control this, but that could change in 2006. More than at any other previous time, you'll have a knack for bringing public opinion into alignment with your own picture of yourself. Your reputation may even come to closely resemble the person you really are.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I encourage you to climb trees in 2006, Pisces. I also suggest that you regularly look down at the world from mountaintops and skyscrapers and flying dreams. Get above it all, in other words. Give yourself the pleasure of gazing from vistas that inspire you to meditate on the really big picture. You might also consider expanding your consciousness now and then if you do so in a disciplined, careful, and responsible way. (Getting high on a mix of street meth with strangers at 3 a.m. is not what I mean.) Your magical symbol for the year is a golden ladder.

Paris, France
My Rating
Driver was 20 minutes late but there was enough lead time to make flight with no problem. It did generate some anxiety initially, however. Hotel concierge said they didn't consider this company among the better ones they deal with.
Paris, France
My Rating
A total waste of time and money. They have you arrive early and there's no place to sit and wait. The first hour is mostly spent on the bus fighting Paris traffic. Recorded info is ok but they continuously loop "April in Paris" until you are either sick or nodding off. They drop you off at the Eiffel Tower, hand you a ticket to go up to the second level and a ticket to a river boat good for a year and say good bye. The bus had already left and my wife left her umbrella on board. The announcement had been that we were making a short stop. This obviously only applied to the bus. The boat tour was terrible. Hot, crowded, many broken seats, and a few hundred elementary school kids didn't help. Better use of the money spent on this tour would have been to wad it up, light it and watch the smoke curl.
Paris, France
My Rating
The show was outstanding--1hour and 45 minutes of constant entertainment. The meal was very ordinary but taking the dinner package probably got us front seats.
Nice, France
My Rating
Great tour and only 4 of the possible 8 slots were filled so it was almost like a private event. Our guide Evija was well versed and pleasant and a joy to be around. We definitely saw the whole Riviera but be prepared for a full day of activity. We'll worth the cost.

Ron Artest, PETA spokesman
Feb 22, 2010, 2:27 PM EDT
Ron Artest used to have a dog, but by his own admission gave it away because he didn't know hot to take care of it. His dogs spent more than two months in a county shelter because he neglected them while he was in Sacramento. Two of his dogs died after being hit by cars.
So that means he makes the perfect spokesman for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).
For the second time Artest has teamed up with PETA for a campaign, this time aimed at the large stray/homeless (I'm sure there's a politically correct term for this I don't care about) dog population in the city. In a billboard in the heart of Los Angeles urging people to have their dogs spayed or neutered. "It's a slam dunk" is one catchphrase, the other is "have the balls to spay or neuter your dog," both worthy of Letterman.
Tuesday is national spay day — of course there is a national spay day, stop snickering — and the billboard was unveiled to coincide with that. This is a good cause, and you should get your dog (or cat) clipped. And if Ron Artest can get more people to do that… well, great. Weird, but great.

I have a 18x20 dish with a multiswitch that has 4 outs. I have been using three receivers all sd and no dvr with no problems. Today the installer installed a new sd dvr which needed two cables to install it. Instead of using the open spot on the multiswitch he ran a new line to the dish and used the old line from the multituner. I have switched the lines on the back of the receiver and still get the same thing no signal on tuner 2.
So here is what I have now. Two cables from dish to switch one from dish to receiver, three from switch to 3 tv's. the other tvs work fine the dvr not so good.
Sorry so long just wanted to try and explain. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this.

Go into Setup, and make sure he turned the second tuner on. You probably will have to rerun guided setup.
I would think he would have used the open port on the multiswitch. If both tuners are enabled, and tuner 2 still doesnt work, I would go hook that new cable to the open port on the multiswitch and try that.

The way he hooked it up seems unusual, but it should work just fine. I agree with Davenlr, make sure the DVR is set up for two tuner operation (go back through satellite setup). If that doesn't correct the problem, call DirecTV and have them send someone back out. If the installer left you his phone number, give him a call.

Independent Scotland will hit North-East investment, warns NECC
Updated 10:50am Thursday 8th May 2014 in Business By Andy Richardson
A SURVEY has revealed that 12 per cent of companies across the North-East are putting off investment ahead of the Scottish independence referendum.
With just over four months to go until referendum, The North East Chamber of Commerce (NECC) is publishing the results of a survey of business opinion surrounding an independent Scotland.
This independent survey of NECC members, part of a larger survey by the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) of 2,400 businesses in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, examines the impacts, opportunities and risks perceived by businesses in the rest of the UK.
Ross Smith, NECC Director of Policy, said: "Given that we need businesses to continue investing to sustain the recovery, the uncertainty that this referendum inevitably creates needs to be minimised.
"As we get closer to the referendum people on both sides of the debate need to be careful not to heighten concerns through unhelpful hyping of political rhetoric.
"We also need reassurance and clarity that whatever the outcome the transition will be managed in a way that makes continuity of trade as easy as possible."
Key findings from the NECC survey:
• 12% of North East businesses said the referendum would impact on investment plans.
• Only 7% of regional firms said Scottish independence would influence future business decisions.
• 76% said they would not change their business strategy for an independent Scotland
• However, 14% of firms forecast that independence could have a negative impact on sales and orders, with 9% concerned that would also have an adverse effect on recruitment
Mr Smith added: "Our Quarterly Economic Survey shows that business confidence is high in the North-East, with many of our members predicting growth in the coming year. While our firms are keeping their powder dry on the potential impact of Scottish independence, it is concerning that 12% plan to hold back investment.
"Businesses are also aware that an independent Scotland could gain advantage over our region in attracting inward investment with grant subsidies as well as the ability to lower tariffs currently unfairly levied on regional businesses, such as Air Passenger Duty."
Key findings from the BCC survey:
• If Scotland votes to remain part of the UK, almost half of businesses (49%) believe that the current division of power should remain the same.
• Exactly a quarter of businesses (25%) said that the Scottish Parliament should have more power if Scotland remains part of the UK, but a fifth (21%) also said it should have less.
• Two thirds of businesses (63%) say no new opportunities would arise for their businesses if Scotland votes for independence.
• Firms identified the highest risk as trading across borders should Scotland become independent, (26%), and identified future currency arrangements as the most important issue (47%) for their business
