- Not to be confused with Isaac Pinto, an American Jewish publisher.
Isaac de Pinto (Amsterdam, 1717 – August 14, 1787 in the Hague) was a Dutch Jew of Portuguese origin, a scholar and one of the main investors in the Dutch East India Company.
In 1748 Pinto helped stadholder William IV of Orange, sending or lending him money to defeat the French at Bergen op Zoom. In return he asked for uplifting measures against Jewish merchants forbidding them to sell clothes, gherkins or fish on the street. He proposed to send the poorest Jews to Surinam.
Pinto was a man of broad learning, but did not begin to write until nearly fifty, when he acquired a reputation by defending his co-religionists against Voltaire. In 1762 he published his Essai sur le Luxe at Amsterdam. In the same year appeared his Apologie pour la Nation Juive, ou Réflexions Critiques. The author sent a manuscript copy of this work to Voltaire, who thanked him. Antoine Guenée reproduced the Apologie at the head of his Lettres de Quelques Juifs Portugais, Allemands et Polonais, à M. de Voltaire.
In 1763 De Pinto became bankrupt as a result of speculation; he had to sell his house on Nieuwe Herengracht with five famous fixed wall-paintings by Jan Weenix. De Pinto moved to another fine mansion in The Hague; he and his family were invited to the palace when Mozart and his sister played. In 1768, Pinto sent a letter to Diderot on Du Jeu de Cartes. His Traité de la Circulation et du Crédit appeared in Amsterdam in 1771, and was twice reprinted, besides being translated into English and German. His Précis des Arguments Contre les Matérialistes was published at The Hague in 1774. Pinto's works were published in French (Amsterdam, 1777) and also in German (Leipzig, 1777).

School cafeteria workers in Western Pennsylvania are now allowed to eat expired food at their own risk without paying for the privilege. The union workers recently won the fight against an existing rule stating they had to pay for the food.
Due to health concerns, the union should consider banning anyone to eat expired food; after all, stores recently bannedexpired baby food from being sold.

The battle of last year's 5A state baseball champions Wednesday wasn't a battle. It was a massacre.
Scottsdale Horizon, the 2007 5A Division I state champs, visited Tempe Marcos de Niza, the reigning 5A-II champs, and showed a little more hunger, vim and vigor in their first meeting ever as 5A-II Pima Region foes.
Horizon smacked 18 hits and rolled out 12 runs in the sixth inning to bury the host Padres, 19-5.
"I thought they (Marcos de Niza) came out a little flat," Horizon coach Eric Kibler said.
"After the first couple innings, we really started swinging it. We are hitting very well the last few games."
Horizon, which is in the midst of a five-game winning streak, has piled up 70 runs in those five contests with 12 runs the low total of the lot. Horizon scored 13 runs on Tuesday in a 13-5 win over Yuma Kofa. Marcos (11-5, 0-1) traveled to Yuma Tuesday and knocked off Yuma High, 8-2, so perhaps the Padres were a little road weary from the three-plus hour drive south.
Wednesday's leading hitter for Horizon (12-6, 1-0) was senior Kyle Weber, who has been subbing for a suspended teammate of late. Weber was 4-for-4 with all of his hits solid singles. Weber scored four times, twice in the 12-run sixth that saw Horizon send 15 batters to the plate.
Other batters with multiple hits for Horizon were Thomas Valenza (two hits and three RBIs), Eric Bond (three hits and two RBIs), Payden Yarmer (three hits and three RBIs) and Dillon Everett (three hits and four RBIs). All but Valenza were hitting in the bottom half of the Huskies' lineup.
Junior Joey Danner, who has moved up from the junior varsity to assume a starting role, earned the win with four innings of work. He allowed three runs and five hits, walked one and did not have a strikeout.
Horizon scored runs in each of the first four innings, getting three in the first two with the help of three Marcos de Niza errors.
Marcos starter Jacob Morales was roughed up in the third for three runs on four hits. He gave up seven runs in four innings, four of which were earned.

I promised I'd do a walk-through of a process for tidying up the V4 Historic Armour after using AutoFit to transfer it to Genesis if it won a place in the Members' Choice poll. I haven't tried this on all parts, I suspect some may be better left alone or only partially modified, but the steps I am going to cover are purely mechanical - just clicking buttons and picking things from menus, no skill with painting weight-maps or adjusting joints required - so it is something anyone can try.
Setting up
Although I'm going to cover only the leg harness in this thread, I loaded all of the pieces of the Historic Armour twice - once AutoFitting them to Genesis and once cancelling AutoFit to leave them unattached. Then I slid the unfitted, unconverted pieces off to one side (actually I slid one, copied its setting, and pasted them to all of the other pieces). The first image shows the viewport, the second shows the scene pane - note the different icons for a TriAx figure and for a legacy parametric figure.

American could bulk up through US Airways merger
"US Airways needs American more than American needs US Airways," said Henry Harteveldt, a travel-industry analyst in San Francisco. "American could launch a hub in any US Airways city and capture a good bit of the corporate business."
Bethune said American can emerge from bankruptcy ready to join United and Delta in a Big Three. "They've got a great franchise, they've just got to get their costs in line. American can do it on a stand-alone basis. They certainly don't need" US Airways.
Then there's the labor issue, often one of the messiest in airline mergers. American and US Airways employees are represented by different unions, and both airlines have a history of trouble when combining workforces in previous acquisitions.
American's fate is in the hands of its creditors and the bankruptcy judge. John Thomas, head of the aviation practice at L.E.K. Consulting, said American would be more valuable to creditors if it's broken up - the Latin American routes, the frequent-flier program, major hubs and the American Eagle regional-flying affiliate could all be sold separately.
-What it means to the industry:
More consolidation would reduce competition and likely lead to higher fares for consumers. This would help airline profits, but the companies might benefit even if American and US Airways remain independent.
American is already considering how to reduce its size. New CEO Thomas Horton said Tuesday that the airline expects to make modest reductions in flying as it restructures in bankruptcy. Most analysts think the cuts will be bigger than Horton is signaling.
Jamie Baker, an analyst for J.P. Morgan, said airlines have consistently used bankruptcy to drop unprofitable routes.
"As the only loss-producing airline of size, AMR should have little difficulty in identifying where to cut," Baker said.
AP Airline writers Joshua Freed in Minneapolis and Samantha Bomkamp in New York contributed to this report.

There are both a G. Levinson and a G. Levenson who are cited in photographic textbooks. G. Levinson is the less prominent of the two. G. I. P. Levenson has been cited to assist in separating the two.
I have not checked my posts, but I'm sorry if I misspelled his last name as Levinson in error in this context. It is correctly G. I. P. Levenson. Please excuse the error, but under the circumstances with the great similarity, I hope you excuse the 'crossover'. It was certainly unintentional.

Using film since before it was hip.

My APUG Portfolio
The updated version was never published. Work was interrupted as noted above. C'est dommage.
"I found misspelling in your post; both Ron Mowrey and Bill Troop are in my ignore list and I don't read their posts."
"You don't seem to know how rude you are." (Goethe) (who also used variant spellings!)
Re the Ilford system, Roger, I don't have the Kodak table handy but it's buried in Haist and runs something like this. In a continuous stream of water wash, for film processed in an alkaline fixer, archival levels of hypo may be reached in something like five seconds, but residual hydroquinone will take 45 seconds to remove. (The reference may be in my book. If not, it should be.)
This astonishing finding suggests that for an alkaline or near-neutral fixer, the important thing to test for, as regards film, may not be residual hypo but residual HQ/other. Haist could not be explicit about any of this because too much of it fell into the trade secret area. We all have to remember that Kodak aggressively supervised his book. Except for the utmost generality, he was not permitted to make any statement that had not previously been published in the literature. He also wasn't permitted to connect dots which would have made life much easier for future generations of readers
So, again, I'm not entirely surprised if, under some circumstances, an acid fixer (perhaps closer to neutral than not) will give an acceptable wash under some circumstances, with 5-6 quick changes of water.
Those circumstances would have to include excellent condition of the fixer, perfect technique and timing, and a given film emulsion, for whereas it may work with some films, it can't be expected to work with all.
But that still doesn't take into account other residua from the development process which could be damaging.
So now you have to look at what is happening before the fixer step and after developing.
Will there be a stop bath? Will there be a continuous or stationary water rinse? Or will the film be plunged direct into the fixer?
There are all kinds of possibilities for nastiness if there is enough residual developer in the film to be active in the fixer. Dichroic or other fog could result.
So I would be uncomfortable recommending any processing sequence that did not include either (a) at least sixty seconds in a fresh stop bath with continuous agitation, or (b) a continuous water rinse of two minutes or (c) a highly buffered, exceptionally well-preserved acid fixer. Two minutes sounds a lot but it includes a safety factor that is particularly applicable to alkaline fixing because we need to avoid developer activity in the fixer.
I particularly warn against the error, perpetuated by the marvellously bright if obstreperously self-destructive graduate student (to use a style of soubriquet from the Meian era which he will appreciate), of confirming the Ilford method without replicating the chemistry, and that under a wide variety of processing conditions.
It is always possible in photography to make an experimental conclusion that applies in a particular set of circumstances. So if you are an expert as you obviously are, and you find that a particular technique works, I accept that. But I can't accept that as a general recommendation, because when I make a recommendation, it has to be proof against an enormous number of circumstances I can't foresee.
I am grateful to you for forcing me to think this out more rigorously, even if my opinion hasn't yet changed!
My final caution: virtually all after-market rapid fixers are sold with an optional hardener, or were originally sold with such an optional hardener. This means their pH must be relatively acid. Ilford's non-hardening fixers don't suffer from this requirement; therefore the pH could be higher (not neutral or alkaline, but moving up on the scale) and therefore would wash out of film perceptibly quicker. For this reason, in any rapid wash sequence, you have to know the pH of the fixer as prepared and as used. What works with Ilford fixer A won't necessarily work with Kodak fixer B.
With all of this, I think we are beginning to approach conditions where very rapid washing of film is sometimes possible with small amounts of water. But I can't let go of the idea that this can only be true under certain carefully defined conditions, and should not be disseminated as general rules of everyday technique.
Dear Bill,
I should like to thank you too, as I shall in future add the further caveat that while I recommend the Ilford wash sequence unreservedly, on the base of my own tests and those of others, I have not tested it with many fixers and that I can only verify it from personal experience with Ilford and Tetenal fixers. I may or may not add that others have found that it works with other fixers: this addition will depend (as we are both very aware) on the space available. I shall of course continue to state that this wash sequence applies only to non-hardening fixers.
I would also point out that I have almost always said that (like others) I find it almost impossible to believe that the Ilford sequence works, and that (like others) I normally repeat one step, or let it sit for a little while in the distilled water after the triple set of inversions -- except, of course, when I am planning on running a test afterwards...

I also do this whilst not quite believing that such a simple sequence will work.
In reality, Ilford will have put in a safety margin so in ideal conditions, 75% or perhaps even 50% of their reccomended wash sequence would probably be o.k.
"People who say things won't work are a dime a dozen. People who figure out how to make things work are worth a fortune" - Dave Rat.
As an added thought on hydroquinone retention, it is known that hydroquinone itself does not diffuse rapidly and is rather insoluable at an acid pH. It forms a sodium salt or ammonium salt at alkaline pH values. Grant and I know this and so the conditions for wash on the alkaline side are best for removing excess HQ. Bill knew this as well I think, as we see.
OTOH, color developers and some B&W developers are amines or contain amino groups which are more soluable on the acid side, and therefore Metol and the p-phenylene diamines are more soluable on the acid side.
This interesting dilemma was solved at EK when we decided to use the near neutral fix and blix which gave us the best of both worlds. In addition, adding swelling agents and taking advantage of synergy in fixing can speed both fixing and washing at whatever pH. I have done extensive experiments on this with Keith Stephen, and he had developed a whole family of organics and inorganics that accelerated fixing. This latter is never discussed on the internet to any extent, and is rarely used in products sold.
One of these low toxicity ingredients is now sold by several chemical companies, but is so expensive (IDK why though, it is easy to make), so if I can get some I can whip up a super fix that would knock your socks off! No, I won't give you the name. I'm trying to get some myself. Right now, I cannot afford the minimum order.
I may discuss this phenomenon at a later date. Our erstwhile graduate student seems to be totally oblivious to this type of fix in spite of all of his studies. And yet, it is patented by a number of individuals and is written up in Haist and Mees (although disguised ) somewhat to protect outright disclosure.
Just as a caution, one popular fixer out there is so poor that, it spoiled on my shelf before I could get to test it, so beware... Not all fixers are made up to Kodak or Ilford standards. My bottle of test fixes are on a shelf here, and this one spoiled while the Kodak fixer, TF-4 and my Super Fix are still just fine.
I just noticed in reviewing this thread that my name was taken in vain. I mean that literally. Very little of my practical work has been done with expectations of long life. Strangely, a lot of it has survived at least 30 years with no sign of degradation. I took many photos between 1960 and 1980 of visiting musical artists while I was principle oboist with the Peninsula Symphony of Newport News and the Norfolk Symphony of Virginia and they are still in excellent condition. This was done while the bathroom was "bath by appointment only." I was in a hurry to get the photos processed between dress rehearsal when I took them and the concert the next day, with a full day's work at NASA between. I wanted to present copies to the guest artist and get one autographed for myself. Alicia De Larrocha, Claudio Arrau, Jorje Bolet (also an avid photographer), Vladimir Ashkenazy and many others are among them.
I have a collection of glass plate negatives that my grandfather took before 1905 that were stored (not preserved) in brown paper envelopes in an attic in West Virginia. The ones that are not in good condition are so because of humidity. The envelopes are what librarians refer to as "cornflakes" of which some are embedded in the gelatine. I have no idea what procedure he used in washing.
I am not about to preach to anyone my technique, which was about 1% good planning and 99% good luck. I am an engineer by nature, which only means that when I have an engineering problem before me, I read books and write equations and do whatever else is necessary to find a solution. I had occasion while employed by NASA to solve problems in aerodynamics, electronics, photography, human factors and some I don't remember. I took one of my instructors at WVU literally when he said "Engineers can do anything." That was about 60 years ago.

Azura Cruise Ship, P&O Cruises
Traveller reviews
"This was our second cruise, but first time crossing the Atlantic and I was a little unsure about so many sea days but I shouldn't have worried it was fantastic!
We flew from Birmingham on a Dream liner which was lovely, there was a bit of miscommunication as our plane arrived 1hr early but there were no coaches to pick us up, this led to waiting on the plane & again once at the terminal, but once on the ship our holiday started!
We were on C deck in a balcony room which was lovely! Cabin steward introduced himself & was always friendly, and kept the cabin very clean. Balcony is really big on C deck!!!
We were on 1st sitting which we found a little early for us so we only went to the restaurant once! We went to Sindhu twice which was lovely, and the glasshouse about 6 times......we loved the ambiance & staff in the glasshouse. We also used the buffet, food was of good standard but I didn't enjoy trying to find a table while your dinner went cold!
Entertainment at night was excellent, during the day it was ok.
Overall we found the staff friendly & helpful, and loved the Captain's daily updates & "thought of the day"
We found the ship very clean, and well organized.
We enjoyed this cruise so much that we have booked for another transatlantic cruise!"

"We have been on many cruises as we love cruising, and we booked our new year cruise many months prior as we were celebrating my dads 70th birthday, the cruise cost our family over 10,000 pounds and what a total waste of money. The ship was filthy in every single area, the staff were rude and so unhelpful, the food had no choice and seemed the same every day steak or pork ! Our whole family went down with a nuro virus which the doctor on the ship said most of the passengers and staff had, which i think is totally unacceptable that my children had to spend many days in bed being so very ill. the entertainment was appalling , the ship although only a few years old looked so old fashioned to other ships we had been on we were very disappointed and infant really gutted we had spent so much on what was to be our special celebrations turned out to be our biggest disappointment
I wouldn't recommend to my worst enemy"

"Azura is a beautiful ship. Have been on 30+ cruises and have never come home before without feeling I had had an amazing time. I feel let down having spent good money on a rubbish holiday.
There is no longer silver service in the restaurant, but a plated meal is brought for you, usually not warm enough but cremated. You then start the search for the food! Some nights the meal portions were very small indeed. The breakfast and lunchtime buffets are dreadful, there is little selection and usually at lunchtime the left overs are used from the previous evenings meal.
Entertainment wonderful.
Surprises to see so many ladies with colored heir, eg. blue, orange, pink, purple, and lots of both men and women with tattoos.
Cruises no better than a third class holiday camp."

"Our first time with P&O. We hadn't realized the size of the ship. There were too many people especially in the entertainment venues, We only saw a third of the shows due to not enough seats. The Coral swimming pool was manly cold or just aired with too much water. There were too many formal nights we were told three and there were 4 also we didn't realize that my husband would require a jacket so for 4 nights we ended up eating at the buffet, then we could not get in any of the bars except for Brodies where there was no where to seat. Not enough information given on disembarkation. Our cabin was very comfortable with a very nice cabin steward. We enjoyed the food in the Oriental restaurant, with good service from our table waiters and the restaurant manageress arranged some really tasty diabetic puddings."

"We had high expectations of this ship and our visit to the Norwegian fiords.
The fiords didn't disappoint and we were so lucky to have had exceptionally lovely weather.
The Azura did disappoint us as it was nowhere near as good an experience as on the Oceania last year.
The good bits:-
Nice balcony cabin which was clean and kept tidy by the cabin staff.
The Headliners entertainment was excellent
The restaurant XV11 was fantastic but did have a cover charge of £28 pp
The bad bits:-
Food was generally of a poor quality and the self service restaurants were too busy, overcrowded, noisy and similar to being in a canteen - just not a good experience. The formal restaurants were not much better - noisy with the waiters clattering the plates and slamming drawers and a general feeling of 'quick, get them served and out asap'. Also not keen on being forced to sit at an table for eight- we avoided the restaurant for four nights and only went back when they agreed to us having a table for two.
The Sea screen is a brilliant idea - spoils in our case by the surly attitude of the deck staff as they ignored our request for lilo mattresses and blankets, only supplying them after repeated reminders.
The Glass House - again spoils by inattentive surly dismissive staff.
Silver Service and Gala dinner where has they gone?! What is the point of getting dressed up for 'black tie' nights when it is the same menu offered as on ordinary nights?
Photographers- please leave us alone, not everyone wants photos taken at every dinner and disembarkation and countless other times. The resultant snaps are amateurish and not worth buying.
There does seem to be an attitude problem in the whole of the ship - rude, unfriendly and disrespectful reception staff, waiters, deck staff, buffet servers - just two exceptions, absolutely no faults with the cabin staff and staff in XV11.
This attitude problem is in complete contrast to the Oceania where there was never a fault. This must be a management or leadership issue for the Azura and really needs fixing.
It is our intention to cruise in Australia next year. It is unlikely that we will choose P and O to take us there after this experience."

"Avoid at all cost here is why, smoking is allowed on the starboard side of ship in cabins with balcony and on deck with in 2ft of food preparation area and drifts all around the ship, so you are paying to use 75% of the ship if your a non smoker, Food is mostly bought in ping and sling style horrible packet soups bought in rubbish for desserts.The staff are 95% rude and ignorant at best,Bar prices are very expensive and the draft beer is horrid. Entertainment average/poor best acts mike Doyle / Paul Senson. This may sound snobby and maybe is but felt like the whole of benefit street were on board the boat.Back to celebrity solstice class for us."

"One of the most disappointing cruises ever ! Firstly the buffets are like a rugby scrum with people elbowing you out of the way to get to the food which is average at best . Secondly the buffet restaurants only serve water or coffee in the hope that you will pay for drinks to accompany your lunch or dinner - every other cruise line offers juice and sodas free but not p&o .
Elsewhere the sunbeds are all reserved even tho there is no sign of the actual people ( just their towels and a book) staff are supposed to police this but cant be bothered.
On that note most serving staff are surly as are the reception staff - only the cabin stewards seemed to have any enthusiasm; didn't quite get why but in the end it rubbed a little.
The boat is a little tired too and in need of TLC and the port side of the boat stank of stale cigarettes as did our balcony as p&0 have no policy for non smokers where balconies are concerned !!
We too suffered the con trick of vantage fares - these are clearly posted on p&o's web site as guaranteed best fares etc etc but when you ask for the promised upgrade, or credit against on board spend they just deny what is promised in black and white - bizarre really but that sums up p&o its a British bucket shop operation akin to Ryanair ie "we sold you it cheap what did you expect? " oh one other thing that annoyed was the short measures ( about 40% less than you'd get in a British bar on shorts ) but most people just brought on bottles of booze and carried it around bars/ restaurants like naughty kids at a youth club . If that's your idea of a luxury cruise then good luck - personally i like to be appreciated, smiled at occasionally and not ripped off ; if paying a little more gets you that i think its money well spent so wont be going with p&o ever again.
Do they care? Not one jot I'm afraid but seriously try princess cruises or any other and you'll see what a real cruise experience is like."

"Booked Cruise last December on a vantage price of one thousand six hundred and £32 this is a swindle we thought it was a no brainier if price comes down you will get the difference in an upgrade or extra on board spending money our price hasn't come down but the sale away price is now thirteen hundred and ninety nine pounds a £263 difference for the same balcony cabins don't be caught out like us cruise is 21st march 2014"

"Don't need to go into a lot of positive or negative detail. This was an amazing cruise. First one we've done and certainly not the last! There is nothing I could fault about any of it. go and enjoy it and accept it for what it isThe scenery is breathtaking. None of the negative observations in some reviews were experienced by either my wife or myself. It was an exceptional experience and I imagine hard to beat. Got this at a getaway price which made everything even more fantastic."

"Just returned as singl traveller of 40years old nice ship but more the the elderly or couples, came last year and the standard much lower this year, went buffet every night and all but one was foreign food last year again standard better. Reception staff absolutely awful no personality and felt like you putting them out disgusting service by them on front ofoffice, as I was travelling alone I wasn't happy that staff new my cabin number several time had them knocking
on cabin late at night, or phoning cabin in end unplugged it.
Sea days it wa like a cattle market too many people on board and most people recommended other cruise ships other than p&o they are giving themselves a bad name as most of them said never again come on p&o I think like a floating butlins camp. Why as one show finishes another one starts so everyone is legging it to next venue why don't they stagger the show so it's not rushing about to get to see one crazy.
But must say the layout and the ship itself very nice its just the ways it's ran, and the goa staff will go out there way to help.
About the destinations all fantastic all but st Vincent twice been there why utter dump"

"We spent 7 days aboard Azura visiting the Norwegian Fjords and had a perfect holiday! We could not find fault with anything. Service, food and cabin cleanliness were first class. The staff were friendly and always cheerful with nothing too much trouble . Our daughter, son in law and 16 year old grandson travelled with us for their first cruise and they cannot wait to sail on Azura again. She is a beautiful ship and I can highly recommend her."

"Just returned from 14 days in the Med (Cabin R625) and despite missing a port in Gibraltar due to bad weather, we found this cruise excellent value for money. The food was exceptional, the crew top class, and the ship clean and bright. Been on 26 previous cruises and would rate P&O in the top three. Two tribute acts - Elton John and Freddie Mercury - were fantastic, although the onboard resident company a bit mundane and boring. One observation though - the Azura's outside areas are almost entirely in the open, and the ship really isn't fit for purpose in the Med in November, especially the open air pools and cinema. Would certainly cruise P&O again, but if you can wait to do a last minute booking you will save £££££s!"

Anyone on here still in High School and play football, or a part of a High School football program?
Well I guess that didn't get the reaction i was going to get, well here let me try again...
Who all here goes to just about every football game of a High School team? And if you do, who do you watch?

We just went through our 3 days of camp and I'm already waiting to see those West Jeff Roughriders on the field!!!!!!Quote:

Watch out for you rivals this year, SCR (you should know who that is). They turned out to be pretty good last year after losing 75% of the winningest team in our schools history, and another year of experience for the young guys plus having our number one quarterback all season is going to make them tough to beat.
I'm a native West Virginian who goes back to see my high school when I can. The Williamstown Yellowjackets broke the Class A (small school) record last year with their 46th consecutive regular season victory. I believe it's the overall state record as well. The irony is that we only won 15 games the entire time I was in high school there, and it's a 7-12 school.
Well if your talking about WLS, well then I really don't see what to worry about, LOL, Im only kidding, every year its a tough battle.Quote:

And I'm going out on a limb here, but if you are from SCC, then I'm looking foward to the trip there, and hopefully its as great of a game as it was 2 years ago!
Our school is K-12 in one building, lolQuote:

Alumni include: AJ Hawk, Nick Mangold, Kirk Herbstreit and Mike Nugent. Ryan Hawk (AJ's bro) was also a standout QB who went on to have a nice MAC career at OhioU. I think they have maybe 4-5 other guys still playing D1 ball.

Very nice, dabvu2498. I am a Centerville grad as well. Your description in bold is very accurate. Year in and year out you can always depend on Centerville to have a power running game and stick with it. They do have some talent this year at QB and at the WR positions, so they could throw more than usual, but still, the game is won in the trenches, so you'll see more running than throwing.Quote:

*this is last years list of players that were still playing college football. Obviously, Nugent would have been on this list if he were still in college, but he was in the NFL last year. Also, Nick Mangold went to Kettering Alter, not Centerville HS. His parents live in Centerville, but he went to the smaller, private school. Most announcers screwed this up from day 1 saying that Hawk and Mangold were teammates in HS. They were not.

I'd like to see Arona fight Fedor again…
According to MMA Europe, Recardo Arona has signed a four fight contract with M-1 and he could be fighting Fedor Emilianenko as soon as December.
According to "Vale Tudo News", Brazilian ace Ricardo Arona (13-5-0) announced that he has signed a four fight deal with Russian organization M-1. The opponent(s), due to contractual issues, weren't revealed. Arona said that he is now focused in his debut, in December. When asked if the first fight would be with Fedor Emilianenko (26-1-0), Ricardo Arona smiled and kept his silence.
Arona has notable wins over Dan Henderson, Wanderlei Silva and Dean Lister. He previously lost by Unanimous Decision to Emilianenko back in 2000, so a rematch makes sense for Emilianenko's debut M-1.
Arona Denies signing with M-1:
"I have not signed anything with M-1. I've heard rumors about it but no offer to fight against Fedor. To be honest I never heard of this event. I've gotten a few offers from the U.S., Canada and Japan, but I'm still weighing in my options before I sign. I'll probably have a contract to fight in December."
I'd like to see Arona fight Fedor again…
i like arona … him being from the same hometown as me of niteroi in rio de janeiro
i like to see him signing some contract fights with both UFC & M1
I hope Ricardo comes back his fights were always exciting to see and I'm glad he didn't sign with the UFC.
He knows where the best heavyweights are heading and a rematch with fedor would be a great fight. I think it has a better chance of happining than the Randy Fedor fight.
Ya urgen peleadores de calidad de Arona, espero firme pronto en Dream o UFC es un gran peleador! y uno de mis favoritos!
He is a bad ass fighter. Im glad hes finally going to fight again but I was hoping they would put him in the UFC.

Men's Wearhouse: Zimmer wanted to regain control
NEW YORK Men's Wearhouse is shedding some light on why it parted ways with founder George Zimmer.
The men's clothing retailer said Tuesday that Zimmer seemed to have difficulty "accepting the fact that Men's Wearhouse is a public company with an independent board of directors and that he has not been the chief executive officer for two years."
Coming forth with more details on its relationship with Zimmer appeared to please investors, as the chain's stock rose more than 5 percent in midday trading.
Men's Wearhouse fired Zimmer from his executive chairman role last week in a terse statement that gave no reason for the abrupt dismissal. But some analysts had speculated then that it may have had something to do with a power struggle behind the scenes.
Zimmer, who resigned from the Men's Wearhouse board on Monday, handed over the CEO title to Douglas Ewert in 2011.
Zimmer helped build Men's Wearhouse Inc. from one small Texas store using a cigar box as a cash register to one of North America's largest men's clothing sellers with 1,143 locations. The 64-year-old was the face of the company, appearing in TV commercials reciting the slogan, "You're going to like the way you look. I guarantee it."
But Men's Wearhouse said Zimmer - who owns 3 1/2 percent of the company's stock - advocated for "significant changes that would enable him to regain control." The chain said Zimmer had refused to support Ewert and other members of its senior management unless they gave in to his demands.
The retailer also said Zimmer expected veto power over certain corporate decisions, such as executive compensation, even though it has an independent board committee that sets such policies.
Men's Wearhouse also said Zimmer, who had initially supported looking at strategic options for its K&G unit, did an about-face and began objecting to the review process. Men's Wearhouse announced a strategic review of K&G three months ago. The division, acquired in 1999, accounts for about 15 percent of the retailer's total revenue. It operates stores in largely urban markets that cater to low-income shoppers, who have faced more pressures recently due to the tough economy. K&G has seen a decline in its business.
In addition, Men's Wearhouse said that Zimmer also reversed course on his opposition to taking the company private, with the retailer saying that he began arguing for a sale of the business to an investment group.
Men's Wearhouse said its board unanimously agrees that now is not the time to sell the company and that such a move would create risk and not be in shareholders' best interests. The chain said a going-private transaction would also require it to take on a lot of debt to pay for such a deal.
The company maintains that it was left with no choice but to fire Zimmer, as he had in essence drawn a line in the sand - essentially making the board choose to either continue its support of Ewert and its management team or reinstate Zimmer as the sole decision maker.

2009 BEST New Restaurant, North
The Blue Ox
Given his stints at No. 9 Park and Prezza, chef Matt O'Neil knows from high-end. For the Swampscott native's first solo flight, however, he chose to appeal to the rest of us. At his casual American-Mediterranean outpost, there's a juicy blue cheese–stuffed burger for the college kid, quality cuts of swordfish and steak for Mom and Dad, and $6 meal deals with dessert for tykes. Dining out a few times a week here is both an attractive and affordable proposition, making the pull of the Blue Ox strong indeed.

Edgar and Allen both said they're targeting those neighborhoods.
For Luc Nguyen, a 20-year Westminster resident, the knock on his door from Edgar was much appreciated.
"It's really important," Nguyen said after Edgar visited him recently with Westminster Councilman Tri Ta, who acted as his translator and was also rallying for his own mayoral campaign.
In the beginning, Edgar and Allen weren't even candidates for this race.
Edgar originally intended to run for Congress but switched to the state Assembly race in February. Allen registered on the last day candidates could submit their names.
Two of the Republican candidates who had already begun to raise money unexpectedly dropped out: Westminster Councilman Tyler Diep announced his departure the day Edgar announced his candidacy and Huntington Beach Councilman Matthew Harper withdrew from the race in March.
That left Long Pham, a Republican engineer who serves on the Orange County Board of Education, and two Democrats: Joe Dovinh, a business owner and Garden Grove planning commissioner, and Albert Ayala, a retiree.
Today, Pham and Dovinh are backing Allen's candidacy. Tran, the former assemblyman, is Allen's senior campaign adviser. Michael J. Schroeder, a former California Republican Party chairman, is the most recent to endorse Allen after withdrawing his backing of Edgar, Allen's campaign said Wednesday.
Edgar has a lengthy list of endorsements: more than 40 elected local, state and federal officials. He also is backed by numerous groups, including the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association.
Both candidates espouse similar views when it comes to limiting taxes and reducing regulations.
Both also bring baggage into the race.
Edgar, while earning his share of supporters, has been seen by some residents as a divisive figure in Los Alamitos, where the council is deeply divided and Edgar is part of the majority vote. At the most recent meeting, Councilwoman Gerri Graham-Mejia called him "a bully."
But he has also been a leader in many of the big-picture ideas for the city, from the expansion of the hospital to the proposed creation of a downtown for Los Alamitos. Not everyone has welcomed his ideas or his approach, however.

ADA Info
The Barbara Bush Library Friends provide a $50 book store gift card as an incentive to the branch staff to enter the summer reading club and read at least four books during the summer. This year's winner, drawn at random from the 23 qualifiers, was Gina Macala, Afternoon Shelving Assistant. Gina loves to read and has entered the SRP every year since she began work at the library in 2008. This summer her list included the Hunger Games series, three Elizabeth Aston novels, and the very practical What to Expect When You Are Expecting.
Monika Anderson -- Winner of the $50 Branch Gift Card
Monika has been a teacher at Epps Island Elementary in the Klein ISD for the past five years. For three of those years, she taught third-graders and brought her class to visit the library during the Klein ISD Art Day field trips. This year she is concentrating on completing her doctorate in reading at Sam Houston State University, so winning this card for her summer reading seems very appropriate.
Monika is married and has two children, Magnus (age 6) and Addison (age 7). She and her husband both joined the adult SRP this year for the first time, at the urging of Monika's mom who has participated in the past.
Bobbie Lupa -- Winner of a $100 Gift Card
This was the first year that Bobbie entered the Summer Reading Program, having learned about it through the afternoon book club at the Barbara Bush Library. What Bobbie liked best about the SRP was the chance to see what others were reading, and to read the reviews of other library customers. Just as in book club, she always came away with great ideas for new things to read. She is encouraged to see that people, especially young people, are still enjoying the classics. Bobbie has been participating in reading clubs and contests since she was a little girl, always working hard to be the "top" reader, so winning this gift card brought back good memories for her. She looks forward to spending her $100 on books to encourage the youngest reader in her family, her 8-month old granddaughter Lily Rose.

Cell transplants may curb epilepsy
A recent commentary by Hunt and Baraban examined a study that suggested embryonic stem cells would provide a good source for creating these GABA-producing progenitors. It highlighted the problems still facing work with embryonic stem cells:
"These include inefficient and uncontrolled differentiation of ES cells into mixed cell populations, a relatively slow course of differentiation and development in vivo, and the tendency for ES cells to form tumors after transplantation," Hunt and Baraban wrote.
For an overview of progress in epilepsy therapy, I spoke recently with Dr. Timothy Pedley, the new president of the American Academy of Neurology. Below is a video of that interview, taken in March:

The first images of Seth Gabel as 'The Count' (inspired by classic villain 'Vertigo') on The CW's Arrow have just debuted. Check them out below!
Gabel will first appear on the Jan. 30 episode, aptly entitled "Vertigo." In the episode, Thea (Willa Holland) is in trouble with the police after she gets caught using a drug called "Vertigo." Oliver (Stephen Amell) thinks the only way to keep her out of jail is to find the dealer, a man who goes by the name of "The Count" (guest star Seth Gabel). Oliver turns to McKenna Hall (guest star Janina Gavankar), an old flame and current Vice cop, for help. Meanwhile, Laurel (Katie Cassidy) steps in to defend Thea, and Felicity (guest star Emily Bett Rickards) gives Oliver some disturbing news about Moira (Susanna Thompson). David Ramsey, Colin Donnell and Paul Blackthorne also star.
