Stranded motorist dies in Utah snow storm
Thursday - 12/20/2012, 8:58am EST
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - A woman is dead after she tried to walk for help when her car got stuck during the snow storm in southwestern Utah.
Washington County Sheriff's detective Nate Abbott says the woman and a man were driving when their car got stuck in rural Washington County Tuesday night during the storm that hit the Rocky Mountain region.
He says the pair started walking for help, but the woman couldn't go any farther and sought shelter while the man continued on.
He eventually took refuge close to a reservoir and stayed there until morning when he located some snowmobilers.
Search and rescue crews who used snowmobiles to look for the woman found her dead in the snow, a few miles from the car.
An autopsy is planned. No names were released.

Election over, administration unleashes new rules
"I would love for the election to be interpreted as a mandate for Obama to move forward with stronger protections for the public," she said.
A spokeswoman for the White House Office of Management and Budget, the gatekeeper for federal regulations, said the administration is focused on protecting public health and safety while avoiding unnecessary burdens on business.
"We intend to continue that approach moving forward, including careful analysis of costs and benefits as well as a commitment to protecting the health, welfare and safety of the American people at the same time that we promote economic growth," OMB spokeswoman Moira Mack wrote in an email.
In January 2011, Obama ordered all federal agencies to get rid of rules that were excessively burdensome, redundant, inconsistent or overlapping. The ax fell on hundreds of regulations, with moves made to streamline tax forms, let railroad companies pass on installing expensive technology and speed up the visa process for low-risk visitors to the U.S. The administration said the moves would save businesses about $10 billion over five years and spur job growth.
But some Republicans and business groups say new regulations, on top of rules already issued by the administration, could strangle the economy just as it begins to grow.
A new study by the National Association of Manufacturers claims major new EPA rules could cost manufacturers hundreds of billions of dollars and eliminate millions of American jobs.
The report, issued in late November, said compliance costs for six major EPA regulations - including rules limiting air and water pollution from coal- and oil-fired power plants - could total up to $111 billion by government estimates and up to $138 billion by industry estimates. Construction costs could total $500 billion, it said.
Jay Timmons, president and CEO of the manufacturing group, warned of a "devastating ripple effect" that could be felt throughout the U.S. economy if federal rules are not relaxed or delayed. Some manufacturers are likely to "close their doors for good" because of EPA rules, Timmons said.
Susan Dudley, director of the Regulatory Studies Center at George Washington University and the former head of a Bush administration regulatory office, said she has not seen a postelection surge in federal rule-making.
"It doesn't look like the floodgates are opening," she said, adding that with four more years in office, Obama is in no rush to implement rules that could damage a fragile economy.
The slowdown fits a pattern, Dudley said. During his first two years in office, Obama published a "record-setting" average of 63 economically significant final rules per year, she said, a pace that slowed to about 50 major rules in 2011 and fewer than two dozen this year.
Dudley said she expects a second Obama term to be more like his first two years in office than his third and fourth years - in part because so many federal rules that have been started have been put on hold.
One of the most high-profile delays was on a pledge to set stricter limits for lung-damaging smog. President George W. Bush had shunned the advice of independent scientists who said the current ozone standard was too weak. Under Obama, the EPA had promised to change that, only to have the White House put on the brakes in September 2011, explaining it was acting to reduce regulatory burdens and uncertainty in a shaky economy. A new ozone rule is now likely to be finalized next year.

Paul's Boutique is the second studio album by American hip hop group Beastie Boys, released on July 25, 1989, on Capitol Records. Featuring production by the Dust Brothers, the recording sessions for the album took place in Matt Dike's Apartment and the Record Plant in Los Angelesfrom 1988 to 1989, after which the recordings underwent mixing at the Record Plant in Los Angeles. Subsequent remixes were done at theManhattan-based Record Plant Studios.
Paul's Boutique was initially considered a commercial failure by the executives at Capitol Records, as its sales did not match that of the group's previous record, Licensed to Ill, and the label eventually decided to stop promoting the album. The album's popularity continued to grow, however, and it has even been touted as a breakthrough achievement for the Beastie Boys. Highly varied lyrically and sonically, Paul's Boutique secured the Beastie Boys' place as critical favorites in the hip-hop genre. The album's rankings near the top of many publications' "best albums" lists in disparate genres has given Paul's Boutique critical recognition as a landmark album in hip hop.
On January 27, 1999, Paul's Boutique was certified double platinum in sales by the Recording Industry Association of America. In 2003, the album was ranked number 156 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. The album was re-released in a 20th anniversary package featuring 24-bit remaster audio and a commentary track on January 27, 2009.

I think Fed is serving better with the new stick......
But that's about all. Still a lot of shanking. I agree with Breakpoint, I think it's more his swing style...the way he takes the ball. On ground strokes it almost seems as if he's not swinging through all the way like he's afraid of the additional power or concerned he can't control it.
Of course this is on clay I'd like to see him on hard courts with it. What do you think. I just don't seem much of a difference in his game.
No he's not. ACE count is down and so is 1st serve %. The short out wide ACEs are non-existant anymore. Haven't seen him hit a single one yet.
You know he had around a 60% first serve average the entire tournament right? That's Federer's danger zone.
It does seem like he's trying to judge how hard to hit. If he hits too much, the ball flies. So he's just rolling the ball back. His rallies look really below par.
I'd hate to say it, but what if he had gone with an Asian 90? For people who can't deal with 12oz sticks, the Asian 90 is perfect. Now obviously Fed is much stronger than your average league player is, but a lighter racquet with similar SW or inertial force as his normal 90 could help speed things up.
**** man, give him the 85 and let's see what's up.
BTW, the larger racquet with more power that Sampras moved to on his senior tour are helping him because he no longer has the swing speed he did when he was young. Contrary to this, Fed still does and that's one of the reasons why this experiment isn't working well. What I saw is that unless things were perfectly set up for a shot, he was always hitting at 85% just to keep control on it. It's funny, but his shot results almost looked like what I had experienced when I played with an EXO Black a few years ago. With the open grommets two shots hit the same way never ended up in the same place and crap was always long. Switched to closed grommets and that improved some but sometimes it would still creep up. Switched to poly and that brought back some more control. Eventually I gave up on that POS frame and been playing with a 90 ever since. Sure it's heavier and whatnot, but once I figured out that I don't need to fight my mechanics or muscle my shots, especially the serve, amazing things started to happen.
For years, tons of people on this board wanted Federer to switch to a larger racquet thinking that would be the panacea to all of his problems. But now after seeing him play this week with a larger racquet, people are now advocating he switch to an even smaller racquet than he used before? LOL
(BTW, I do agree that he should try the 85. It just may work out better for him than this 98 did. :shock: )
I would add one more thing ... watch how much trouble he's having with a "mid-range" ball - one that's not too short but not really deep. He is typically known for being very aggressive with these but in Hamburg he has not only been tentative, but he's been missing an unusually high percentage of them ... even off the forehand side.
Some of the comments here are utter bollocks. He is doing what he needs to in order to win. That's how he's generally played when fresh to a new surface.
Why do more if the wins are coming like they are? He's in trial mode and today's loss is barely a blip on the radar. He would have performed this way with his old frame too.
He is doing just fine for his age and achievements. He has a lot of miles on him which other older players don't have, and he has 2 kids too. He reached the semis and lost. That will how it will be from now on. Quarters and semis and sometimes better if everything lines up.
I'm still waiting for the - "Federer needs an even bigger racquet!" - threads to appear. :lol:
Anyone who think tweener racquets are the bomb has never played with a box-beam stick. It's something that once you get used to it, nothing else comes close. He just needs an improved design to it as opposed to the constant softening that Wilson is doing to it.
Like it or not and despite what people on here say (i.d. he's still playing with a K90 frame under all the current PJs, etc.) his strokes/power started to suffer a bit right when Wilson introduced the BLX line of 90's. Since then the sticks were softer and more muted... heck, even normal players said this with the off the shelf units. I firmly believe that Wilson provides him with regular sticks and P1 just customizes them to his liking for feel and nothing more. Wilson needs to back up their golden boy and dial back the noodle softness of what they've turned the 90's into. The ProStaff line was a bit of an improvement, but they need to go back to a more raw feel on it. When that happens, I believe it'll solve his issues.
Well he can easily solve the power/depth issues by playing with the strings or getting wilson to make a stiffer version of what he uses. As for the shanking.......it's odd because he doesn't shank a lot every match. It happens on his off days so there really is no reason why he shanks apart from just 'not his day'. Perhaps the guy needs glasses to improve his depth perception? The guy was playing crazy good in R1 against hanescu at wimby, then weeks later he's all rusty again.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) -- A new report shows that people who hunt and fish in Arkansas are making a huge economic impact on the state's economy.
Randy Zellers, editor with the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, said outdoor recreation is bringing in $2.1 billion annually.
"Deer hunting alone brings in about $530 million a year. Duck hunting brings in about $236 million a year. And fishing brings in about $536 million a year," explained Zellers.
The data from the Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation said the ripple effect on the economy supports more than 25,000 jobs in the state.

LAWRENCEVILLE - The draft version of a new waste management plan would divide Gwinnett County into eight trash-pickup areas, allowing only one company to collect garbage in each district.The plan, months in the making, would also expand recycling options and require county residents to have garbage service. About 20,000 households currently lack a trash collection contract, the study said. County residents will have a chance to comment on the study later this month. According to the draft plan, nearly 35 percent of the garbage Gwinnett's residents throw away is recyclable. But the county's recycling rate has fallen as residents are only able to recycle seven items, far fewer than the 30 allowed in other areas. Most people do not know what those seven items are, the study said. Under the current waste management system, eight companies pick up garbage anywhere in the county, and 80 percent of the county's ZIP codes have six or more companies picking up their rubbish. County officials currently have no means to cap the number of providers. The new plan would limit each provider to no more than three pickup zones, according to the study, determined through a bid process. Dividing the trash providers would eliminate traffic, decrease costs and make the system more efficient, the study said. The public hearing will be held at 7 p.m. Dec. 10 at the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center. Comments will also be accepted by e-mail, at email@example.com, and fax, at 770-822-5179.

"Employees are left in the lurch"
Cadre of the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) staged a demonstration at Muthaiyapuram here on Sunday, demanding the state government to take over SPIC – (Southern Petro Chemical Industries Corporation) and TAC – (Tuticorin Alkali Chemicals,) soda ash manufacturing company, in the interest of the workforce.
K. Kanagaraj, State executive council member of the CPI (M), who took part in the agitation, in his address said both officers and employees of various cadres in these companies were left in the lurch as these companies had turned "sick."
The employees of TAC had been bearing the brunt of non-payment of salaries from the last month. So far, 61 officers in the company had been terminated citing financial crunch.
Even essential services, including drinking water, power supply and canteen facility, were disrupted in the TAC. Hence, the government should consider reviving these companies, he said.
The demonstration was presided over by V. Arumugam, district president, CITU. R. Russell, state secretary of CITU, and others spoke.

Benstock Takes A Closer Look at Surging Phone Leads with Automotive News
Brian gave his perspective in a recent Automotive News article that examined the growing trend of rising phone leads and plummeting Internet leads. Here is the full article;
Dealers' phones ring again
Rise in calls spurs more sales training
David Barkholz
Automotive News | July 21, 2014 – 12:01 am EST
It's back to the future for car shoppers, who now much prefer to contact dealerships with an old-fashioned phone call rather than via the Internet.
Two years ago, Internet sales leads were gaining on phone leads, dealers and digital marketing vendors say. But ubiquitous smartphones changed all that.
"Our phone calls are going through the roof," said Mark Holian, general manager of Gulf Coast Auto Park's Ford, Nissan and Toyota stores 40 minutes from Houston.
Today, most car buyers carry smartphones. And it's easier to use a click-to-call phone link in a dealership ad than fill out a Web site information form or send an e-mail, said Holian, whose stores sold 304 new and used vehicles in May.
Holian is among many dealership managers who have beefed up phone sales training and call monitoring.
Phone leads are up 46 percent vs. Internet leads over the past two years, according to data compiled this month for Automotive News by ADP Digital Marketing, a unit of ADP Dealer Services.
This spring, phone calls outpaced e-mail or form leads by a 4-1 ratio vs. 2-1 in January 2013, said Max Steckler, vice president for advertising and business intelligence at ADP Digital Marketing. Phone calls have skyrocketed while form leads have been relatively flat over that period.
ADP Digital Marketing provides Web sites and digital marketing services to about 10,000 U.S. dealerships, Steckler said. The unit also is widely known as Cobalt, the company's name before it was bought in 2010 by ADP. Leads are phone calls or e-mail requests for more information.
Steckler said e-mail leads were relatively more popular two years ago because senders felt they could control the interaction with salespeople and use the relative anonymity of the conversation to resist being rushed to buy.
But the click-to-call choices on mobile Web sites are making phone calls easier for consumers. And that's good for salespeople, who prefer phone calls to e-mails.
"Phone calls are better," Steckler said. "They make it quicker to ascertain what a consumer really wants."
According to Google, 35 percent of car buyers in 2013 used a smartphone or other mobile device to find information about vehicles vs. 26 percent in 2012 and just 6 percent in 2011.
Google, the world's dominant search engine, offers an option to dealerships and other businesses that allows shoppers to simply click on a phone link in a Google ad to call a store, said Lindsay Schultz, Google's head of industry, auto dealerships.
The feature, which doesn't cost extra, is popular with mobile shoppers, Schultz said. Seventy percent of people who use Google to shop or search for businesses with mobile devices use the click-to-call function, she said.
Schultz said some people use the click-to-call function while shopping on dealer lots. Click-to-callers "need an accelerated path to connect with the dealer," she said.
Holian said the growth in phone leads is roughly tracking the surge in car shoppers using smartphones.
In May, his three stores had 150 leads from phone calls vs. 116 from e-mails, he said. Two years ago in the same month, e-mail leads outnumbered phone leads 147 to 59, he said.
Holian said the stores' digital marketing vendor, Local Search Group, has used Google's click-to-call feature to drive much of that phone traffic.
Those phone calls are contributing to higher vehicle sales, he said. The 304 vehicles sold in May were up from 232 sold the previous May and 212 units in May 2012.
But the handling of the calls has required some back-to-basics sales training, Holian said.
As phone calls mounted, Gulf Coast Auto Park hired vendor CallRevu to monitor calls and flag management when they were mishandled, Holian said. A mishandled call means customer information wasn't gathered or the salesperson failed to ask for an appointment, he said.
In one incident, a salesperson quoted a caller a retail price on a car that should have been quoted at an Internet price $2,500 lower, Holian said.
After being notified, Holian said, he called the customer, offered the right price and found a different salesperson to take the customer through the purchase.
Holian said salespeople taking phone calls need to study store inventory so they are prepared to talk on the fly about the products and alternatives to a customer's initial preference.
A Kodak moment
At Paragon Honda in New York City, the 30 people in the business development center are scheduling in-store appointments on 70 percent of the phone calls they receive, said General Manager Brian Benstock. In May, the store sold 623 new vehicles and 346 used.
Benstock said Paragon Honda receives three phone calls for every Internet lead as smartphone use explodes. He said consumers want information instantly, and calling is the quickest way to get it.
He likened the change in auto leads to what happened to Kodak, whose film business was decimated by digital photography. With digital cameras, shooters get images instantly without the delay of film development.
He said the prevailing attitude is "let's get there as quick as possible."
The convenience of smartphones is just part of the reason auto shoppers are increasingly abandoning e-mail, said Joe Webb, president of DealerKnows, an Internet sales training consultant.
Webb said dealerships still take an average of four hours to respond to Internet leads with a custom response vs. the ideal response time of 20 minutes or less. Consequently, shoppers have been conditioned to bypass Internet or e-mail leads and just call directly, he said.
If dealerships drop the ball on phone leads as they generally have on Internet leads, he said, they'll see shoppers give up on phones, too, and just walk in without giving salespeople any time to prepare for them.
Webb said, "As dealerships, we just have not done a good enough job of expediting the processing of leads."
Dale Pollak Sits Down with Benstock
Brian Benstock sat down with Dale Pollak, chairman and founder of vAuto, Inc., to discuss Benstock's early adoption of the Velocity Method of Management, his incredible success in the CPO game, and industry challenges Benstock sees ahead.
"We've had year after year after year of record growth. We've done it by getting more velocity and efficiencies into our used vehicle operations," said Benstock. "And what I think makes this a real eyebrow-raiser is that the competition is definitely getting better in our market and outside our market."

Andrew J. da Silva was born in New York City in 1931.

Mr. da Silva strove with intense contemplation and physical efforts to penetrate and embody the spirit and ideas from that mysterious monastery situated somewhere in the Urals–predating the time of Moses–and from which Gurdjieff received and passed on his extraordinary theory of the Octave.

I have secret pet names for him that he hasnt heard yet. The latest are abstract derivatives of the earliest, most obvious ones and have to be traced intricately backward to have any context whatsoever in reality. Im the only one who can trace them back!
Ha! I wonder if hes Googled me yet, as I Google him every day at sunrise, and noon, and sunset (and at various points before and after those timesjust to see if anything has been updated). That's how I found an image of him online! I tiled it as my desktop and saved it as my screensaver. Who's aloof now?
Up in my loft bed, I can't sleep nights thinking about how it'll feel when his hands are all over me, lips touching mine, and eyes meeting my eyes in dim light. What kind of sex is the man into? Does he tease in bed as much as in the preamble? Is he "rough"? Does he "talk"? Is he "really into blowjobs?
It gives me insomnia. So I call him for the first time at two this morning. Go white pages!
Him: [sleepy] Hello?
Me: [sexy] God, I want you soooo bad right now . . .
Him: Mmmmm. That's kinda hot . . . aaand . . . its kind of psycho.
Me: [shriek] BINGO!
Then I hang up on him and start masturbating with a knife.
Just kidding, I would never do that. Instead of calling, I install a dimmer in my room, surf porn, start working out, get a bikini wax, give my number to 18 dudes at a club, smoke a carton of cigarettes, make sock puppet versions of each of us and have them fuck all over my room.
It takes work to repress your attractions into indirect manifestations, but it should be well worth the wait! Keep your fingers crossed, friends. I have a good feeling about this one!

Nintendo 3DS
Can anyone here tell me how safe and reliable these screen protectors are?.
I've never bought anything from these guys before but i am getting extremely desperate for some very good quality, safe and reliable 3DS XL screen protectors before i go ahead and open up my new 3DS XL that i just bought over the weekend.
It says they won't leave any residue when removing them and that they are reusable as well. my main concern about using screen protectors not licensed by Nintendo themselves is the fact that i worry that unlicensed screen protectors might damage the screen over time, like permanent discoloration issues to the screens and things of that nature.
Are all screen protectors, reguardless of them being officially licensed by Nintendo or not, essentially the same quality at the end of day or should i watch out and be cautious of the kind i buy?. this x5 pack seems like a great deal @ $8+.
I was also thinking about the PSVita screen protector since it's for a 5" screen but i don't feel like cutting or shaping it just to try and make it fit, since the edge's of the glossy boarder strip that surround the XL screen are."rounded" and not perfectly rectangular like Vita's.
Can't find the Hori brand anywhere either, including Amazon, Best Buy, Target and others.
So again has anybody bought these for their 3DS XL and are they good or not?. thanks! :).

Hori is over priced, and anything that doesnt use actual glue is fine.

Is it possible for "Resuable" screen protectors to have adhesive on it?. these are the ones i "just" bought:
Shipped and sold directly from eForCity themselves and NOT Electromaster. if you think i should cancel immediatly i will definatly do so. i trust you guys when it comes to advice! :).

After watching this i'm having high hopes for these eForCity 3DS XL screen protectors. they seem great! :). i'll apply the eForCity top screen protector on the top screen and just use my new officially licensed by Nintendo DSi XL screen protector from the Power A DSi XL "Clean & Protect" kit that i got last summer for $0.99 at Best Buy for the bottom screen since it'll be a perfect fit. i think this is my best bet! :D.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- "Sell in May and Walk Away" didn't work this year. Through May 30, the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 are basically up 3%.
Now investors are wondering whether the recent volatility in Japanese markets is foretelling the future of U.S. markets.
After last October's initiation of "Abenomics", the quantitative easing-like monetary policy championed by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, the Nikkei has rallied some 50%.
However, after pushing the Bank of Japan to raise its inflation target to 2%, the Abe plan is meeting market resistance, and the faults are becoming visible.The problem with the 2% inflation target is that Japanese banks, which hold an enormous amount of Japanese government bonds, likely will come under severe capital pressures as this occurs.
The thesis is that as inflation rises, interest rates will as well; meaning bond values will drop, causing balance-sheet issues for the banks. Although this thesis is sound, I believe it is incomplete and ignores several key facts:
- Japan is still stuck in a deflationary cycle, and the May 30 Japanese CPI and PPI data showed this very clearly.
- Although comparisons are plentiful, U.S. monetary policy in its totality is very different than that of Japan.
- And perhaps most significantly, U.S. banks don't own a lot of U.S. Treasuries or TIPS.
As a result of having a zero interest rate policy for more than a decade, regional Japanese banks and insurers already mark to market, and are therefore very susceptible to a rise in interest rates. Investors do not need to panic and should not view this as a broad-market sell signal. Rather, this is a real-time case study of how equity markets react to a rising interest rate environment. Based on this, we will be monitoring the reaction of various market segments within the Japanese equity markets in an attempt to provide us with better insights as to how U.S. markets may react if or when the Federal Reserve begins to exit its current easing strategy.

Santoro brings down Roddick
BASEL: American fourth seed James Blake could not find a way past towering Croatian Ivo Karlovic at the Swiss Indoors on Thursday, losing their second round encounter 4-6, 7-6(4), 6-4.
Blake began brightly, taking the opening set with a single break of his opponent's formidable serve.
But Karlovic, the biggest man on the tour at six-foot ten (2.08 metres), powered back to take the second set tie-break before clinching the match with a break in the final game.
The Croatian World No. 25, who has now won three out of four meetings with Blake, relied heavily on his favourite weapon — firing 24 aces to the American's nine.
The result hampers Blake's chances of reaching the season-ending Masters Cup tournament in Shanghai.
Currently 10th in the race for the tournament's eight qualifying spots, the World No. 7 needed to reach at least the semifinals in Basel to improve his placing. Second seed Gonzalez, currently seventh in the Masters Cup race, overcame Croatian qualifier Roko Karanusic 6-4, 7-6(5) to set up a meeting with unseeded Finn Jarkko Nieminen.
Roddick loses
Top seed Andy Roddick slumped to a 7-6(5), 2-6, 6-4 defeat by Frenchman Fabrice Santoro in the first round of the Lyon Grand Prix tennis tournament in Lyon on Wednesday.
At Linz (Austria), top-seeded Anna Chakvetadze needed just 47 minutes to defeat Francesca Schiavone 6-0, 6-2 to enter the quarterfinals of the Generali Ladies. She was in control of the match throughout, as Schiavone double-faulted 10 times and won only eight points on her own serve in the opening set.
The results: At Basel: ATP Swiss Open: Second round: Ivo Karlovic bt James Blake 4-6, 7-6(4), 6-4; Jarkko Nieminen bt Guillermo Canas 6-4, 3-6, 7-5; Tomas Berdych bt Stanislas Wawrinka 7-5, 6-4; Nikolas Kiefer bt Stefan Koubek 6-3, 6-2; Fernando Gonzalez bt Roko Karanusic 6-4, 7-6(5). First round: Nicolas Kiefer bt Carlos Berlocq 6-1, 6-1; Marcos Baghdatis bt Albert Montanes 6-2, 6-2; Stanislas Wawrinka bt David Nalbandian 7-6(5), 6-2; James Blake bt Oscar Hernandez 6-3, 6-4.
At Lyon: ATP Lyon Grand Prix: Second round: Christophe Rochus bt Mardy Fish 6-7(5), 7-6(6), 7-6(15); Alejandro Falla bt Olivier Marach 6-2, 6-1; Diego Hartfield bt Juan Monaco 6-4, 6-3; Ivan Ljubicic bt Thierry Ascione 6-3, 6-7(5), 7-6 (5). First round: Fabrice Santoro bt Andy Roddick 7-6(5), 2-6, 6-4; Sebastien Grosjean bt Rodolphe Cadart 6-3, 6-2; Richard Gasquet bt Christophe Rochus 7-6(5), 6-3; Alejandro Falla bt Igor Andreev 7-6(2), 6-1; Juan Monaco bt Sebastien de Chaunac 6-7(11), 6-3, 7-6(3); Diego Hartfield bt Nicolas Mahut 7-6(8), 6-4.
At St. Petersburg: ATP St. Petersburg Open: Second round: Potito Starace bt Mikhail Ledovskikh 7-6(4), 6-2; Fernando Verdasco bt Simone Bolelli 6-4, 6-4; Dmitry Tursunov bt Boris Pashanski 4-6, 6-3, 6-4. First round: Nikolay Davydenko bt Filippo Volandri 6-1, 6-1; Fernando Verdasco bt Werner Eschauer 7-6(4), 6-1.
At Linz: WTA Generali Ladies Open: Second round: Anna Chakvetadze bt Francesca Schiavone 6-0, 6-2; Dinara Safina bt Karin Knapp 6-2, 6-2. First round: Eleni Daniilidou bt Tatiana Golovin 6-4, 0-1 (retd.); Tamira Paszek bt Anabel Medina Garrigues 6-3, 7-5.

SOUTHLAKE -- If you were looking for Tommy Saunders, you could usually find him behind the wheel, autocross racing. And if he wasn't there, he was with his friends and family, especially his daughters.
Those are the people who now don't know what they'll do without him.
An investigation is underway after Saunders, 62, died in a fall from a 12th floor balcony at a Florida hotel. He was chaperoning his daughter and a group of her friends for spring break in Panama City Beach.
'I'm really going to miss him,' Greg Piper said.
He was Saunders' roommate for more than a decade. He was there through his friend's career as a pilot for American Airlines.
Peter Fehn watched as Saunders' love of amateur racing won him national titles year after year, and he got to share the sport with youngest daughter, Rachel.
'He was in the zone,' Fehn said. 'If I was in a plane going down, I'd want him driving!'
According to the Sports Car Club of America, Saunders was a 12-time SCCA Solo National Champion, the 2006 Driver of Eminence award winner, and the 2008 recipient of the Roger Johnson Spirit of the Sport Award.
Last year, both Fehn and Piper helped after Saunders had a stroke. Since then, he's been on medical leave from American, regaining strength and balance.
Feeling good, Saunders agreed to chaperone Rachel and her friends on spring break. Wednesday morning on their hotel balcony, friends think he suffered a medical emergency.
'From the video surveillance, they saw him stand up and it looked like either he leaned against the wall or fell against the wall,' Piper said. 'But then he fell over the side of the balcony.'
They hate that his youngest was there, but there is comfort from how he and his daughter spoke with each other.
'Every time they talked on the phone and they got off the phone, it was always 'magic string,'' Piper said. 'No matter where he was in the world, they were always connected.'
A connection they'll count on even more, now.
Authorities in Florida are expected to complete Saunders' autopsy in the coming days.

It didn't make sense that the dishwasher suddenly stopped working so I "googled" and found the part online - viewed the video on repair and figured "I can do this". It was easy. Wish I had a second pair of hands to help, but other wise, easy. I'm a gal that can usually figure things out myself. It's working beautifully and cost only $30 to fix VS calling a plumber or getting a new dishwasher.

Dog sniffs out wrong object: It's face powder, not a bomb
MANILA, Philippines—It's a bad judgement call of a bomb-sniffing dog that forced the evacuation of a building in Eastwood Libis, Quezon City Thursday morning, an ordnance official said.
Police were alerted around 7:40 a.m. about a suspected bomb after a roving security dog on the eight floor of 1800 building at Orchard Road stopped at an unattended backpack and sat there three times, a signal that it has smelled an explosive device, Inspector Noel Sublay, Quezon City Explosive and Ordnance chief, said.
Occupants of the building were then ordered to evacuate as authorities cordoned off the area.
But when bomb experts inspected the backpack no explosive device was found, only some personal belongings like face powder and alcohol, Sublay said.
Director Leonardo Espina, National Capital Region Police Office chief, identified the owner of the backpack as Anthony Serenio, an employee of IBM Eastwood.
"He stated that he just left the bag for a while to go to the comfort room," Espina said in a text advisory.
Espina said he has ordered an investigation into the incident to find out if it is connected to a bomb hoax at the branch of IBM in Technohub, Quezon City last Tuesday.

Originally written on Fox Sports Midwest | Last updated 11/18/14
JUPITER, Fla. - The questions have been the same the past few days, but so have the answers. And Cardinals manager Mike Matheny can't wait until left-hander Jaime Garcia can get through spring training and into the regular season to prove that he's back to full health. Garcia, who was forced to leave a start in Game 2 of the Division Series last fall due to reoccurring shoulder stiffness, was deemed 100 percent healthy in November and threw several bullpen sessions before his first official throw from the mound Tuesday. That hasn't stopped the questions from coming about Garcia's health, and they figure to continue until the left-hander gets past the spring and into games that count. "I don't think there's any intrigue," Matheny said. "Physically he looks great. It's just a normal spring as far as we're concerned. I think he just needs to get his mind around the fact that, Enough of the attention, I'm going to be pitching,' and just keep pitching. I think that's more of the adj...

Amongst the offerings at the Nkasa Lupala Tented Lodge is a game drive. Since our Hondas are not welcome in the reserve, we have booked a game drive for the next morning. By six oclock we are sipping coffee and our guide, Joster, soon arrives in his Land Cruiser with two German tourists aboard. There are elephants all along the road we covered twice yesterday.
While the sun is just rising Joster takes us past a large termite mound and explains that, after the insects have been devoured by an anteater, warthogs like to move into the empty shell.
We struggle a bit to match the animals we see with Josters nomenclature- he has his own names for the animals in the reserve, like the new Sad Will stork.
Despite driving right up to the Kwando river, we see no predators but only some buffaloes far away, a few impala and elephants closer by and quite a few water birds in between.
Until some reed buck jump across the road.
Its windy by the time we get back at the camp and pack for the next reserve. The return to the main road is much quicker than the previous day and we soon pass another two-track turnoff. Its the Mudumo Game Reserve, but we give it a miss. Bikes are not likely to be welcome there either.
30 km up the road we pass a little village and go looking for supplies.
Unfortunately the beer is warm because the paraffin for the fridge ran out.
Across the road, better luck.
A little further is the turnoff to Camp Kwando, our next destination, less than 2 km from the main road.
We can Highly Recommend this place!
Surprisingly, the campsite is full but after some negotiation a spot for 3 bikes and 2 tents is found, as well as a braai grid for the meat packs on sale at the office.
After setting up the tents, we settle down on the deck overlooking the river after which the camp is named. The sight is stunning.
Mrs Owl is mesmerised
by the Jacanas walking on the water below.
Its time for a boat trip up the Kwando river with the camps aluminium boat. Like the rest of the camp, its well organised and includes drinks.
Naturally, theres quite a bit of bird life along the river banks and we spot bee-eaters and kingfishers, some plovers and the usual crocodiles.
Another pod of hippos.
We return after sunset and set about preparing supper. Across from us two semi-retired couples from Swakopmund spoil us with cold Windhoek lager and wine. They make up for the meagre braaipacks we bought.
Next morning we get some advice for other places to stay from our new friends, who line up to see us off.
We exchange addresses and head out for the short ride to our next campsite.
A few hundred metres from Camp Kwando is a mansion behind two imposing baobabs. We pop in to see what is happening behind the thatch fence.
There are only men, and they are busy brewing some umqombothi (sorghum beer). Surprisingly, they are using South African ingredients!
We are shown around by Mike Kamburi, who is actually from Divundu (200 km to the west) where he has a plot of 20 ha. He wants some help to farm it, but there is not much we can do even when we get there two days later.
It turns out they have a vegetable store in one of the huts. Pity we did not stop by yesterday!
Theres a wide gravel highway with more road works along the way to Kongola.
We get fuel, but the Trading Store is closed - its Sunday! Fortunately, we can get some fresh coffee across the road at a small café run by a German fellow with a local partner. Hes happy to sell some of the stuff, as he usually ends up drinking it all by himself.
Our next camp is just across the river from here, and fortunately there is a kuka shop along the way, open for business.
We pass underneath the
new 350kV transmission line
connecting central Namibia to Zambias power grid (and not Ruacana, as I first thought).
The bridge across the Kwando river is the gateway into the Bwatabwata National park, our next destination.
The turnoff to Bumhill camp is directly after the bridge. We have had reports that it is run-down and has been abandoned. The sign points skyward and the brick buildings nearby are burnt out, the water-tower is devoid of a tank.
But three of the platforms overlooking the Kwando river are still intact, with bathrooms and solar water heaters, although most of the thatch is on the ground.
We settle on the largest platform and, grabbing some of the thatch into a bundle, quickly sweep the floor clean.
Within a few minutes the tents are up, food is laid out, riding kit is blowing in the breeze and its time to unpack the booze.
Beer from a cup, cider from a bottle and a truly spectacular setting.
We make supper upstairs, watching the power lines coruscating on the horizon while Errol counts the gearchanges of the trucks crossing the bridge.
The ablution blocks are falling apart,
but fresh water is 100m downhill, where we are able to clean up ourselves and the utensils.
But we are not alone.
Kudu and impala graze in the forest, where elephants have made their mark by rubbing the bark off a large baobab.
We later hear that this tree is actually a member of the aloe family, and its bark has medicinal qualities that the elephant make use of.
Do it before you die!

Porter doubtful against Bengals
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP)
Denver Broncos cornerback Tracy Porter is doubtful for the game Sunday at Cincinnati as doctors continue to regulate his medication to control seizures.
LOOKING AT YOUNFL regular season hits Week 9 and we have all the best images.
Porter wasn't on the field Friday, a day after being cleared to practice. Broncos coach John Fox said after the workout that the team was still ''regulating the medication. Not that it was a setback, but there was a little bit of an issue.''
The 26-year-old Porter wasn't allowed to fly to Denver's game at San Diego on Oct. 15 after he experienced light-headedness and a racing heart - similar to the symptoms he felt before his seizure in August. He also missed last week's game against New Orleans.
Asked if Porter was well enough to make the trip to Cincinnati, Fox said: ''We'll evaluate that moving forward.''
