Frederick rallies for WORCS win
Can-Am rider overcomes mechanical problem to go from worst to first
Story by ATV.com Staff, Feb. 24, 2008
Josh Frederick put on a performance for the ages in the second round of the 2008 WORCS Series in Mesquite, Nev. on Feb. 24.
A mechanical problem with his Motoworks/Can-Am DS 450 forced Frederick to pit on the first lap of the Pro class event, dropping him to last place. The Round 1 champion would have his work cut out form him to fight his way through the pack.
Yamahas Dustin Nelson, meanwhile, took the hole shot and was starting to put together a little space on the field after the first lap. Robbie Mitchell, Levi Marana and five-time champion Doug Eichner were chasing the leader.
With three laps to go he made up the more than four minutes he lost on the first lap and worked his way past Nelson for the lead. Frederick would not look back and ended up more than one minute ahead of Nelson when he crossed the finish line.
I cant tell you how hard I worked for this and how happy I am to win in front of my hometown, friends, and family, says Frederick. The Motoworks crew did a great job of getting me back out there, and I just went into my zone. What a great win.
Marana rode his Honda to third to complete the podium, while Polaris Eichner finished fourth and Hondas Mike Machado was fifth.
Despite his fourth-place finish in the Pro class, Eichner did not finish the weekend without a win. Eichner picked up his first UTV win, riding his Polaris Ranger RZR to victory in the Rhino Mod class.
Eichner led from start to finish, but David Lindsey hung on tough for second in a RZR of his own, followed by Tyson Coombs in third.
Polaris picked up another win on the weekend, thanks to Angela Butler. Butler cruised to a win in the Womens A class, which earned her a spot in the Pro-Am against the men. She did not disappoint with a 10th place finish.

Helping to improve children's literacy, One Paw in one Hand at a time.
PJ's Pals Program
One child reads to one dog in a quiet, non-judgmental setting. This method allows children
the freedom to read without fearing they might make a mistake.
PJ's Pals is patterned after the R.E.A.D.® Program (Reading Education Assistance Dogs)
Started in November, 1999 by Sandi Martin for Intermountain Therapy Dogs in Salt Lake City, Utah. In early 2003, two of our members went to Utah to be trained by Sandi Martin and Kathy Klotz, executive Director of Intermountain Therapy Dogs. PJ's Pals is committed to follow their lead because of all of the children who have benefited by participating in their program.

Our featured book
Ten years ago an 11 month old, 85 lb, black Lab/Golden dog stole my heart. He was on a rescue website and I knew the first time I saw him he was my heart dog. He'd always been in a kennel and didn't know about the big world around him or how big he was.
He loved to run and play with the other dogs at our house. I found out soon he didn't have a clue of how to stop or turn his body when running. I soon learned to get out of his way. He was always so happy to see me and once ran around the corner of the building, jumped up and knocked out my tooth. Many might have given up on him, but I knew he was a diamond in the rough.
As he grew older the founding members of our therapy group named the group after him, PJ's Pals, because he was a wonderful therapy dog and loved to listen to children read to him. In his past 9 years as a therapy dog, PJ has had many children read to him at schools and libraries. He visited 2 hospitals, one was a 20 bed pediatrics and 20 bed pediatric oncology, a children's bereavement center, Camp Erin, and senior residential centers.
PJ has taught me many lessons over these past years. Here are just a few.
A Tail of Love
Seven lessons of life I learned from my dog, PJ.
1. Always have faith and accept help.
2. Turn the other cheek.
3. Respect the little ones.
4. Big is beautiful. 1
5. If you're in pain, don't be a pain.
6. Be there when someone needs you.
7. It's OK to say no.
1 Big is beautiful; PJ weighed up to 127 lbs and people always commented how beautiful he was and always admired his extra large feet. Although he was so big, he was as gentle as a kitten.
2 Be there when someone needs you. Not only was PJ there for all he visited, but also for me. When I tore my meniscus, PJ walked me one step at a time from the agility yard into the house.
3 Respect the little ones: PJ always put his big body down to the level of those he visited, whether it was a child or small dog. I didn't teach him this, he was just showing respect to all he met.
4 If you're in pain, don't be a pain: 1 year ago PJ developed congestive heart failure. He was in pain and almost died. He still charmed all he met in the vet hospital. With oxygen stapled to his head he still wagged his tail.
5 Always have faith and accept help. Although PJ was only given 6 months to live, with the loving care of his vets and heart medication he is still visiting once every three months instead of his 9 visits a month.
My heart dog is now enjoying his semi retirement after touching so many lives and helping so many children and patients. He was truly a diamond in the rough and is now is a sparking diamond after his many years of service. Thank you PJ, we all love you!
To all PJ's Pals,
It is with heartfelt sorrow I let you know that PJ has lost the long fight with congestive heart failure and is with Fargo at Rainbow Bridge. I have attached something I wrote about him after he was first diagnosed. I know all his Pals will carry on his mission. Thank you to all of you for all you do and please give your dogs a big hug!

Time gets a bad press: it causes wrinkles; it moves slowly when you need it to hurry up and quickly when you'd like it to slow down; and how many times have you cringed, toes curling, wishing you could wind it back? But there is also something profound about the fact that we can't.
Yes, the possibility that if I'm late for work I could tell my boss to "hold on a sec" while I whip out my subtle knife, slice a hole in the fabric of the universe, jump into a wormhole and arrive 5 minutes before the start of my shift appeals to me.
So I'm as excited as the next physics geek about switching on the Large Hadron Collider and finding some dark matter to prop open a wormhole (9 February, p 32) while a future version of me hops through, rambling about all the mistakes ...

Cena vs Rock is not cancelled.
Ok I know that there at a few hundred threads abut cena and rock floating around but this is just a simple question I want people to answer.
Years ago at Wrestlemania 6 for the first time ever two babyfaces fought for the title, Hogan and Warrior were the two most over stars in the company at the time and they thought it best to have a match between them rather then turn one into a heel. This got me thinking about the match coming up at wrestlemania.
As much as I dislike teh rock I can admit he will more then likely never be booed or get a negative reaction from a wwe crowd. And personally i don't think they are going to turn cena heel for any reason, he's just far to valuable as a fan favorite.
Does any one else think their going to try and market the match as just the two "best" guy going to see who's the best or will they try and turn rock or cena and make it the classic good guy vs bad guy
nop, i think is the next rock vs hogan
I don't think anything will be as big as Warrior/Hogan Hogan/Rock. The only man that can make a crowd boo the biggest babyface in the world is Hogan, and Cena already gets boo to begin with. I think they might learn from Hogan vs rock, and turn Cena heel; destroying the rock after their match, and beginning a new era. They should have their new face of the company planned by then, so Cena being the new top heel, shouldn't be a problem.
Even without Cena as top babyface they can easily groom a few more... The Miz, CM Punk and hell even Dolph Ziggler. The funny thing with that is you know they would play a great face but they also play great heels.
alright so it seems most people think that Cena will win at mania but I have reason to believe otherwise, it is very possible the rock will be wrestling after Wrestlemania so who else could see the rock actually winning at Mania and then him and cena having an ongoing feud which in the last match if the rock loses he must retire and not come back and cena winning that match. that's my thought right now and I see it very possible
something keeps telling me that Wrestlemania is going to have two HUGE events..
Rock vs Cena...
Punk vs Austin
I can dream.
Miz will be the face over Punk because he has good hygene.
That's a great prediction. The Rock lose @ 'Mania and it will really b some HEAT in miami. And if Vince hire a ton of security u knO WWE is considering a Cena Win.

Jenny Holzer
Distanz Verlag | ISBN 9783942405942
Hardback – 76 pages
Member's price: $72.00
Usually ships within 2–11 business days.
In her art, Jenny Holzer (b. Gallipolis, Ohio, 1950; lives and works in New York) looks for ways to translate language into visual objects. She relies on a variety of forms of presentation to do so; most widely known are her illuminated letters and projections. Looking for new material to work with, she came upon texts from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan: government documents that had been redacted before being released to the public, including political directives, descriptions of torture methods, autopsy reports, and statements made by American officials, soldiers, and prisoners. Only partly legible because of the widespread blackening, these documents form the basis for Holzer's new pictures--after more than three decades, she returned to the art of painting in 2010. The color, size, and individual expression hark back to the artist, whereas the geometric shapes are the work of the unknown "censors" and the legible fragments of text are taken from the original documents. Holzer's subtle interventions illustrate how much there is that must not be seen. The pictures thus also function as formalist works of art that inevitably call to mind the long history of avant-garde abstraction, especially the legacy of constructivism and its idea that art may serve social purposes.

Environmental Sculpture
Course No. SCU225/325/425 Credits: 3.0
This class is concerned with art as a process of exploration, discovery and experimentation, within the broad contextual conditions of Ecology. In this course, art is considered as presenting an ideological position in which one qualifies his/her relationship(s) both separated from and within the natural world. This course examines both the historic and contemporary landscape of Art and the Environment as conditions of cultural interaction and production with a consideration for the broader issues that have emerged since the 1960s and 1970s through activism. Existing at the intersection of art, science, technology and ecology, Environmental Art often functions to inform and/or interpret natural conditions and the processes associated with both "non-human" and "human-made" constructions. It may also educate us about environmental issues and concerns. This course introduces and provides a context for this area of interdisciplinary exchange and artist production by examining areas commonly known as Land Art, Eco Art, Environmental Art, Art and Science, ArtSci, Bio-Art and Art and Technology. Open to all students.

Teen Mom
Is Courtland Rogers Allowed to Contact Jenelle Evans?
Courtland Rogers has been released from the hospital (where he was on suicide watch due to his breakup with estranged wife Jenelle Evans), and we're thinking it's only a matter of time before he tries to make contact with Teen Mom 2's resident Alfredo guzzler.
Jenelle and Courtland split after having a huge fight that resulted in Courty allegedly assaulting her, and Jenelle recently took out charges against him. But does this mean they can't legally be in contact?
"That's probably what the magistrate says, by you taking these charges out, you are not to have any contact with him," Jenelle's lawyer, Dustin Sullivan, tells Hollywood Life. "Once he is served, that's when they normally say, 'You are not to have any contact with this person.' And if it's found out if he is attempting to contact her, he can actually be charged with a separate offense, a contempt hearing, if he violated a court order, which is not to have any contact with her."
Keep in mind that Courtland hasn't been served yet, so he could still legally contact Jenelle. However, being in communication certainly wouldn't be in either of their best interests, and so far Jenelle has made the wise decision of staying out of her ex-husband's way!

LINCOLN, Neb. (KETV) – Nebraska head football coach Bo Pelini made a surprise call during the Cornhuskers spring football game Saturday. The call brought Husker Nation to its feet.
Seven-year-old Jack Hoffman ran a 69-yard touchdown in front of 60,000 screaming fans. The fans included Hoffman's friend and idol, former Husker Rex Burkhead.
"I told him, 'Congrats,' that he looked good. I told him he needs to be the new running back here," Burkhead said.
Burkhead met Jack in 2011. The two quickly became friends, and Jack became one of the team's biggest inspirations – a little boy batting brain cancer.
Hoffman's dad Andy spear-headed 'Team Jack' to raise money and awareness for kids everywhere fighting brain cancer.
"You know, it was pretty special. It was very special. I told Coach and all these coaches, you know, they've given Jack so many once-in-a-lifetime opportunities, and to have another one of those once-in-a-lifetime opportunities, I think, speaks volumes about Coach Pelini and the kind of program he has, and really, what he's all about as a person." Hoffman said.

Most of us wouldn't even dip a toe in a cold swimming pool. But how about swimming in a near-freezing lake? In Utah, a man went in and swam a whole mile. EMTs were standing by and a kayaker followed along, and Gordon Gridely is the 13th American to complete the ice mile. He's doing it to raise money for a Utah food bank.
And in Texas, sheets of ice falling from the roof of an apartment building and crashing onto cars below. Here's a view from the fifth floor. Several cars were damaged-- but luckily no one was hurt.
More than 200 Santas had some fun in the snow before they get busy this Christmas season. They gathered to hit the ski trails at the Sunday River Resort in Maine. This was the 14th year for the entertaining fundraiser. Each Santa was asked to donate at least $10. In all, they raised about $2100 for a local Rotary club.

Upcoming jazz crooner Jean Masters' latest album, "Misi Haifanane", is a good musical project that clearly shows her determination to push her brand further. If anything, her latest album also exhibits her deep-seated passion in music, in addition to her high level of ingenuity, something you cannot miss from her two albums.
From a novice who started off as a mere backing vocalist for the late musician, Joe Masters, Jean's profile is undoubtedly growing particularly in jazz, judging by her performances during several sessions of the Women in Jazz Festivals that have been held in the last few years.
Her latest album opens with the title track, "Misi Haifanane", featuring the granddad of Zimbabwe's music, Oliver Mtukudzi. Listening to the track, you can't help but marvel at the distinct and highly intoned voice of Tuku, which blends well with Jean's voice, that has greatly improved from the time she released her debut album "Africa".
On the track, Jean chides herself for neglecting her childhood friends, during the time when her life was at its zenith.
From the laid back, soft and mellow track, the tempo increases on the next celebratory track "Africa Day", a song she penned for the annual event celebrated across Africa on May 25.
Her versatility in both lyrics and instruments is aptly captured in the seventh track, "Tomson", which features rising contemporary musician Mukudzei Mukombe, aka Jah Prayzah.
As has become the norm, Jah Prayzah's beat is fast paced and danceable while his diction is quite impeccable.
To complete the collaborations list, Jean brings back the track "Chipo Changu", which she did with dendera crooner Suluman Chimbetu on her previous album, "Africa", as a bonus track.
In the song, her voice is distinctly mellow and easily blends with Suluman's acoustic guitar, while creating room for the dendera musician to sing clearly, without interruption.
The album also comprises tracks like "Mai Ndavashungurudza", "Mandigove", "Usamanikidze Rudo", "I Don't Wanna be Alone", "Shanje" and "Africa", a bonus track from her debut album.
Although she has not yet attained the standards of international female jazz divas like Nina Simone and Ella FitzGerald, or that of the late South African Miriam Makeba, her voice intonation is quite refreshing and full of energy.
Born in Harare in 1988, Jean first tried her hand in music four years ago, with the JM Seasons Band, a move that was initially met with resistance by her parents.
However, her persistence finally paid off, after her parents allowed her to practise with the band, after they realised that she had a passion for music.
Barely a year after trying her luck in music, she went on stage during the band's many tours and fans immediately took a liking to her suave voice.
Her music is very expressive and one can almost detect the sadness, joy or even laughter in her lyrics, without necessarily gauging her facial expressions.
Jean has got an awesome stage presence, and is able to move along with her fans, whenever she is dancing
The album was recorded and mastered at KBN Studios, while the music was arranged by Knowledge Nkoma.

Galaxies tend to give birth to their stars on the road, while travelling down intergalactic highways towards cosmic cities called galaxy clusters, new Spitzer Space Telescope observations reveal.
Galaxies in relatively empty regions of the universe flock towards densely populated galaxy clusters, attracted there by the clusters' gravity. The galaxies tend to move along cosmic highways called filaments, which are concentrations of gas and invisible material called dark matter.
Because galaxy clusters are so densely packed, galaxies that live inside have more opportunities to brush up against one another, sometimes triggering star formation. Astronomers once thought this would make galaxy clusters the most fertile places for stars to form.
But in the 1990s, theoretical studies suggested that filaments might be even more fertile, because the encounters there happen at lower speeds. That means the galaxies spend more time lingering near each other, providing more time in each encounter for galaxies to gravitationally disrupt one another and trigger star birth.
Now, this idea has been bolstered by data from the Spitzer Space Telescope, which can pick out so-called starburst galaxies by their characteristic brightness at a wavelength of 24 microns. It showed that there is a higher proportion of starburst galaxies along the filaments leading into a galaxy cluster called Abell 1763 than in the cluster itself.
Dario Fadda of the Caltech in Pasadena, US, led a team that used Spitzer to observe the area around the cluster, which is 42 million light years from Earth.
"Our observations show that the fraction of starburst galaxies in the filaments is more than double the number of starburst galaxies inside the cluster region," Fadda says. "The new Spitzer findings will provide valuable insights into how galaxies grow and change as they leave cosmic suburbia for the big cities."
John Hibbard of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Charlottesville, Virginia, US, says the finding fits with expectations. Galaxies in filaments are disrupted more and form more stars because the encounters between them last longer than those between galaxies in clusters.
"If you hit something quickly, you get a thump, but then things kind of settle down quickly," he told New Scientist. The hot gas inside clusters also tends to strip galaxies of their gas, removing the raw material needed to produce new stars, he says.
Our own Milky Way galaxy is still outside of any galaxy clusters and may go through a starburst episode in about 3 billion years when it merges with the nearby Andromeda galaxy, Hibbard says.

Discussion in 'College & Amateur Soccer' started by padgman1, Nov 20, 2012.
unreal. that's so unfortunate.
A defender's worst nightmare, and compounded by doing it in the tourney.
They earned the right to fly and play the higher seeded team. Same as St Mary's last year flying to Brown and then UNC after travelling to Bakersfield and then UCI. Actually Tulsa and then Georgetown is less travel. Play better during the season against a harder schedule and they will earn a home game.
Maryland gets a chance to redeem themselves after getting spanked by Louisville in the Sweet 16 a year ago.
How about these Quarterfinal games? Can you say parity? Of the eight, 7 were by one goal, 5 went to OT and 2 went to PKs.
To be candid about today's Northwestern team, they were tough to beat but not elite 8 material. The striking thing about their program, however, is how much their level of talent is rising. In the years ahead, their returning players could really make some noise.
SD: And now they play a #3 seed at the #3 seed's home field...that's what they deserve.
It almost doesn't matter who the opponent is, when a team dominates a first half like TU did and is only ahead 1-0, it usually spells trouble later on... in the first half, USD didn't look like they belonged on the same field... I'm comparing them to C-USA teams and to the level of play in the NCAA playoff game against Northwestern played here in 2009...
In the second half, USD predictably pushed forward, starting winning some 50/50 balls to claim the momentum, and TU seemed happy to play a counter-attack style, then USD scored a couple of goals "by committee"...
Announced attendance 1622 was a sellout for TU, believe it or not; don't remember the temporary stands being on the east side before... fun seeing the TU mascot actually in attendance...
So, the Big East turns out to be pretty good, huh? Three of the eight quarter finalists.
The ACC has two more and the Big Ten, Missouri Valley the WCC one each. Nice to see one Cinderella in the QFs in the form of San Diego.
Northwestern has had their deep runs in recent years. They certainly cannot be ignored.
Considering where they were when Timmy Lenahan took over in 2001, where they are now is absolutely phenomenal.
Two of the Elite 8 matchups are rematches from last year's NCAAs:
Maryland will host Louisville (Louisville beat UMd last year 4-2 in Sweet 16)
UNC will host Indiana (UNC beat Indiana 1-0 in OT in the Sweet 16)
There's no denying that the games were close, but I'm not sure I'd call it parity. For the most part, I thought there was a clear difference between the favorites and the underdogs. That was even true in the games where the underdog found a way to advance.
2012 Road Wins Minus Home Losses
(Half Credit for Ties, Final Four Gets Credit as Road)
WCC +3 (+3 in 2011, 0 in 2010)
Big Ten +2 (0 in 2011, +3.5 in 2010)
NEC +2 (-0.5 in 2011, -1 in 2010)
Big South +1.5 (+0.5 in 2011, 0 in 2010)
America East +1 (+0.5 in 2011, +1.5 in 2010)
Others +0.5 (-0.5 in 2011, 0.5 in 2010)
Ivy League 0 (0 in 2011, +1.5 in 2010)
Atlantic-10 -1 (+2.5 in 2011, 0 in 2010)
Pac-12 -1 (+1.5 in 2011, +0.5 in 2010)
Big West -1 (-1 in 2011, 0 in 2010)
CUSA -1.5 (-1.5 in 2011, +1.5 in 2010)
Colonial -1.5 (+0.5 in 2011, 0 in 2010)
ACC -1.5 (-0.5 in 2011, -3.5 in 2010)
Big East -2.5 (-1.5 in 2011, 0 in 2010)
2010-2012 Three Year Total
Big Ten +5.5
America East +3
Big South +2
Atlantic-10 +1.5
Ivy League +1.5
Pac-12 +1
Others +0.5
Colonial -1
Big West -2
Big East -4
When was the last time a team made it to the Elite 8 without a home game?
Saint Mary's a year ago. They won at: CSU-Bakersfield, UC Irvine, and Brown.
In 2009, Drake and Maryland both got to the Elite Eight, but had their first match at home. Northwestern did the same in 2008.
The team that did it before Saint Mary's was Illinois-Chicago in 2007, winning at Saint Louis, Northwestern, and Creighton before falling at fellow unseeded team UMass in the Elite Eight.
Just to be picky about UIC, they didn't win all three games like SMC and USD did. They tied at SLU and advanced on PKs.
This is true! However, at this stage in the season, seeing yourself to the next match is all that counts.
and Umass was a skating rink.
And we had a Big East team knock off another Big East team otherwise, there could have been more in the Elite 8.
So the regular season and the home-field that it allows teams to earn doesn't count for anything?
For the most part, the ACC and Big East don't earn home field advantage, at least not to anywhere near the extent that they're given it. As a whole, they fail to schedule tough away games during the regular season, and then they fail to punch their weight in the post-season.
And if the measure was biased against big conferences, you wouldn't see the Big Ten sitting at the top and the Pac-12 above the break-even point.
Look for Maryland to open a Kan of Whoop A$$ on the Ville come Sunday on Dec 2, 2012 in the NCAA tourny. Remember, Maryland klocked the Ville early this year 3 - 0 and I don't see any results differently. This Maryland team, is not going to be denied.
Maryland 3 - Ville 0 on Sunday....
How can you claim the ACC doesn't punch its weight in the NCAA Tournament when the conference has dominated the damn thing for most of the past quarter century?
The last time an ACC team didn't make the Final Four Bill Clinton was still president. The conference has won 5 of the last 7 national titles and had more years recently with multiple teams in the Final Four than no teams in the Final Four.
And as for not earning it, they earn their place by playing several of the top teams in the country, home-and-away, every year, in the regular season.
Just because they don't play as many tough games as you want doesn't mean they aren't playing them. You can't ignore the conference games as tough match-ups just because they're automatically scheduled.
Usually, yes! But not in this reckoning. I like how Hararea found a way to give a pat on the back to those who start slow and come on like gangbusters at the end.
Speaking of which, has anyone else noticed that Top Drawer, Ives, and all the other usual experts are pretty much tongue-tied about San Diego's wonderful run? Being a fan (well, slightly more than a fan), I check to see what others are saying, and you can hear a pin drop on those sites. The little that they have to say is clearly based on box scores and old news rather than personal observation. Caught flat footed.
It's possible to be very successful and over-rated at the same time. If the ACC were dominant to the extent that its lower seeds were going on the road and winning, it wouldn't be bottom of the table. (If I get the chance, I'll extend the table back a few years. I seem to remember that there was one year where the ACC really did dominate to that extent.)
Lots of teams feel like they play tough games in-conference. Can you really justify one conference getting a disproportionate number of high seeds if it doesn't get results against other conferences home-and-away? And if you look at the seeds, they're really disproportionate.
Akron-Creighton yesterday was one of the best played and most exciting college soccer games I've ever seen. As a neutral, I'm glad I got to catch it, but it shouldn't have happened so early. I tend to think that any non-partisan viewer would feel the same way.

SOLON, Iowa - A chunk of the Cedar Rapids Titans football team is now for sale on Craigslist. A listing for 20 percent ownership appeared on the website last week.
Chris Kokalis, co-owner and general manager of the Titans, confirmed the listing was authentic Monday morning, but said it doesn't mean the team is leaving town.
Mike Polaski, a minority owner, has decided to sell his share of the team, Kokalis said.
"A downturn in my 'core' business (restaurant owner) has forced me to liquidate my 20% ownership in the Cedar Rapids Titans," the advertisement states.
Polaski, owner of Jo's Roadhouse in Solon, is asking $80,000 for the shares.

A school district in Pennsylvania has agreed to pay a six-figure sum to settle lawsuits involving privacy infringement.
According to CNN.com, the Lower Merion School District reached agreements with two students who alleged that the district had unlawfully distributed laptop computers which invaded their constitutional right to privacy. The lawsuits claimed that administrators could take photographs and screenshots by remotely accessing the webcams on the laptops.
In a statement, the school district admitted that a number of webcam photos were recovered, but the remote access was solely intended for instances when the laptop was stolen or missing. The news provider reported that the district had removed the webcam security program after the suits were filed.
Doug Young, spokesman for the school district, said that the FBI and the United States Attorney's Office investigated the matter and found no criminal wrongdoing by the district and its employees.
A recent report by The Associated Press revealed that President Barack Obama is pushing to make it easier for the government to access citizens' e-mail communications. The President and his administration believe that law enforcement officials should have expanded capabilities in eavesdropping on conversations involving terrorism, crimes or other public safety issues.
Marc Rotenberg, executive director of the Washington-based Electronic Privacy Information Center, called the proposal "a shortsighted and ill-conceived power grab," quoted by the news source.
"The balance has swung radically toward enhanced law enforcement powers. For them to argue that it's still not enough is just unbelievable. It's breathtaking in its hubris," Rotenberg added.

BABIES born in Russia can expect to live only until their late fiftiestwo decades less than babies born in the West.
The WHO announced this week that life expectancy fell during the 1990s in all 15 republics of the former Soviet Union, dropping back to levels that were last seen around 1980. Researchers say that heavy smoking and drinking are shortening men's lives. Injuries, including car accidents and violence, are also a major threat to younger men.
Russian women tend to live at least five years longer than men, but their life expectancy is also falling, partly because of smoking. By contrast, girls born in the West and in Japan (the country with the highest life expectancy in the world) can expect to survive well into their eighties.
The statistics are published in the WHO's latest

With the LED installation completed, we added the taillight gaskets and new Marquez Design taillights into place. Since Project Orange Krate will later sport a pair of unique backup lights in the roll pan, we opted to install two brake lenses on each side (Marquez offers a reverse-taillight option).
Is this killer or what? With the Marquez taillights and housings in place, the back of the car has taken on a whole new personality.
But we're not done yet. Using a pair of side-cutters, Peter removed the original taillight socket from the wiring harness.
With the supplied moisture-resistant pigtail connector, there was no need to strip the wires. Based on the installation instructions, Pete just fed them into the connector base and clamped them together using a set of pliers.
Even with the lights off, the Marquez Design taillights look stellar. They bring a cleaner, more race-inspired attitude to the back of the car.
Now that's a bright set of brake lights! The combination of Marquez taillights matched up with Dakota Digital's LED lighting system is definitely a winning combination in our eyes! Even Rupp will see these far off in the distance from the confines of Project Track Rat.

Hoosiers Can't Overcome Fast Start By East Carolina
Feb. 22, 2009
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Junior Jennifer Glueckert legged out a pair of triples and drove in a run but the East Carolina Pirates scored six times in the first and went on to claim a 8-3 win over the Hoosiers at the Seminole Classic hosted by Florida State University. Sophomore Kelsey Stander had three hits and an RBI in the losing effort for the Hoosiers.
Glueckert started the Indiana (1-9) rally in the bottom of the first inning with a leadoff triple, the first of her career. Sophomore Kelsey Stander brought her in with an infield single to trim the ECU lead to 6-1. The rally didn't stop there as sophomore Brittany Stein and freshman Samantha Berenter both drew walks to load the bases with two outs. Senior Julie DiNallo stepped in with a chance to add to the inning for the Hoosiers and appeared to go down swinging at the third strike but the ECU (6-5) catcher let the ball get passed her so she reached first base safely and a run scored to make it 6-2.
The Pirates added a run in the top of the second after a leadoff single was followed by an RBI double to right field that could have been a triple if not for Glueckert, who started the relay that ended with ECU's Jessica Johnson being tagged out at third base.
In the fourth inning, Glueckert drew a one-out walk and moved up to second after an infield single by Stander. But both would be stranded, two of the nine left on base in the game by Indiana, when Stein grounded into a fielder's choice that ended the inning.
Indiana did add to its run total in the bottom of the sixth inning when pinch hitter Bridget Langan laced a single to left that got past the left fielder and allowed Langan to advance to second in her first-ever plate appearance. Starting shortstop Kristin King re-entered the game to run for Langan and moved up to third on a wild pitch and then came home on Glueckert's second triple of the day.
East Carolina added an insurance run in the top of the seventh on another Johnson double, her second of the game.
Monica Wright (0-2) struggled in the first inning for the Hoosiers, recording just one out while ECU got five runs on four hits and one walk. Alyssa Maiese came on and was solid in relief, pitching the final 6.2 innings and giving up three runs on eight hits and a career high eight strikeouts.

How I Met Your Mother's seventh season is out on DVD and Blu-ray this month, which happens to be perfect timing since Barney Stinson's favorite day of the year, International Suit Up Day (ISUD), is on October 13th! We all know that Barney is nothing without his suit, so let's have a look at some of his most striking suits, and a few tips on how you can celebrate ISUD in the awesomest way!
The Gray Suit
"In a lighter shade or even in more of a charcoal, think of it as the anchor of your suiting up wardrobe."
The Black Suit
"A staple for every man's suit collection, to be sure — just make sure it's slim fitted and stylish. No one wants to look like a funeral director at cocktail hour."
The Navy Suit
"Luckily, navy isn't the snooze it used to be. Now a classic choice, it travels seamlessly from the boardroom to a legendary evening out."
The Pinstripe Suit
"Get a little adventurous and pair your pinstripes with a solid dress shirt. In Navy, black or gray, pinstripes will always be classic and demonstrate your confidence."
And here's some advice from Barney Stinson himself to help you make the most of ISUD:
- Wear a suit to university
- Wear a suit to work
- Wear a suit in the hospital
- Wear a suit to school
- Buy a suit
- Party in a suit
- Play laser tag in a suit
Ready for ISUD? Now … SUIT UP! It's gonna be LEGENDARY!

Want to know why almost 10 years after 9/11, at least a third of the nation still lives with the danger of a poison gas attack? Unfortunately, there are large corporate profits tied to keeping you at risk of a chemical disaster. Hundreds of chemical and oil companies operate facilities with ultra-hazardous and obsolete chemical processes that put major cities at risk. These companies, their trade associations, lobbyists and congressional allies have spent millions to block passage of comprehensive chemical security legislation that would safeguard chemical facilities from being used as weapons of mass destruction. We can no longer tolerate the political grandstanding and industry half-truths that have hijacked the conversation surrounding comprehensive chemical security laws. Dangerous chemical plants, oil refineries, and other facilities put more than 100 million Americans at risk of a poison gas disaster, even though companies could be using safer alternatives. At some especially dangerous facilities, an accident or a terrorist attack that led to a catastrophic release of poison gases like chlorine gas or hydrofluoric acid could threaten millions of people with injury and death. Comprehensive chemical security legislation would help protect communities from a poison gas disaster by closing loopholes in the Department of Homeland Security's Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) and requiring the use of safer alternatives where feasible. But ten years after 9/11, Congress still hasn't acted to protect Americans, because some chemical industry lobbyists, corporate CEOs, and politicians have blocked legislation that would eliminate these chemical weapons of mass destruction from our communities.Greenpeace activists today sent the message to Congress with a demonstration at the Capitol building: "Stop Hijacking Chemical Security." Congress, it's time to pass comprehensive chemical security legislation that focuses on disaster prevention—further delay is unacceptable. In 2006 then Senator Obama warned, "We cannot allow chemical industry lobbyists to dictate the terms of this debate. We cannot allow our security to be hijacked by corporate interests."Over the next few months, we're going to expose the people responsible for keeping Americans at risk of a poison gas disaster. These villains are the Chemical Security Hijackers.

(Adds details, background)
HOUSTON, Oct 7 (Reuters) - Governor Jerry Brown on Sunday ordered California pollution regulators to allow service stations to begin stocking winter-grade gasoline after a string of refinery and pipeline problems choked off supplies and sent the state's pump prices to record levels.
With gasoline prices topping ${esc.dollar}5 a gallon in some areas and several Los Angeles stations running out of fuel, Brown sent a letter to the California Air Resources Board, authorizing them to allow retailers to begin selling winter-blend gasoline ahead of the traditional Oct. 31 transition from summer grade fuel.
Winter grade gasoline is generally easier to make than fuel for the summer, which is processed to generate less smog during the peak driving demand season.
"Allowing refiners to make an early transition to winter-blend gasoline could quickly increase fuel supply and provide a much needed safety valve with negligible air quality impacts," Brown said in a letter on Sunday to the California Air Resources Board, which regulates the types of gasoline sold in California.
California is the largest gasoline consuming state, but it is virtually cut off from the main U.S. refining centers in the Gulf Coast and the Midwest due to a lack of pipelines to carry fuel across the Rockies. This leaves the state open to price spikes when the regional refineries it relies on are shut.
The average retail gasoline price in California hit a peak of ${esc.dollar}4.614 a gallon on Saturday, compared to a national average price of ${esc.dollar}3.8338 a gallon on Friday as refinery outages and pipeline outages squeezed supplies.
A fire shut the key crude refining unit of Chevron Corp's 245,000 bpd Richmond, California, plant on Aug. 6. On Oct. 1, prices rose on news of a power failure at Exxon Mobil Corp's 149,500 barrel per day (bpd) Los Angeles-area refinery in Torrance, California, though the company said operations were restored by Friday.
In addition, a Chevron pipeline that carries crude oil from the state's Central Valley to refineries in the San Francisco Bay area has been closed since mid-September.
Analysts said the decision to move up California's transition to winter gasoline would give a significant boost to the fuel pool.
"Gasoline supply will go up 10 percent with the change to winter-blend gasoline," said David Hackett, president of Stillwater Associates, an Irvine, California, energy consultancy. "That's like adding a whole California-sized refinery. That's like adding another Exxon Torrance."
Reduced gasoline availability has forced some retailers to turn off their pumps, with Costco to shut 14 of 40 gasoline filling stations.
Earlier this week, the California Energy Commission said there was adequate gasoline supply across the state, but some local areas were seeing tighter supply. (Reporting by Erwin Seba; Editing by Diane Craft, Bernard Orr)

Okay, we get that it's difficult to swap out seasonal sections in retail stores, and that items sell out when we think it might be too "early" for the next holiday to come along. However, Michael spotted an odd combination of one retail "holiday," back to school season, and the following holiday, Halloween. [More]
Back-To-School Halloween Candy Keeps Kids Healthy And Happy
Find Out If Your State Has A Back-To-School Sales Tax Holiday This Month
Earlier today, the calendar flipped from July to August, and kids everywhere groaned with the realization that they will soon have to be going back to school. But the even louder grousing you're hearing this morning is from parents envisioning their bank accounts being drained by purchases of backpacks, clothes, pencils (do kids even use those anymore?), and those individual packs of tissues that will never be used but you buy anyway. What some of these parents don't know is that a number of states have sales tax holidays in August — many of them starting today — to ease the burden of back-to-school spending. [More]
TSA Agent To Reporter: What Is This "District Of Columbia" You Speak Of?
In a far off land called the District of Columbia, there lives an entire population of people who are considered Americans and as such, have the proper identification noting that fact. But one Transportation Security Administration agent in Orlando may need a brush-up on the makeup of these United States, after reportedly not realizing that a reporter's Washington D.C. license is a valid form of ID.

Staples Launches Back-To-School Campaign Just As School Gets Out
Staples, the big-box office and school-supplies superstore, isn't messing around. Sure, the school year hasn't even ended for the summer in all places in the company's home state of Massachusetts, but that doesn't matter. Nope. Staples wants your back-to-school business, and will price-match anyone, even Amazon, to get it. [More]
It's June, So Time For The JCPenney Back-To-School Sale
Depending on where in the country you live, school just got out for the summer, or is about to. Naturally, in the world of retail, this means that it's time to put on some back-to-school sales. While a link to that special section on the JCPenney site made the rounds over the weekend, selling back-to-school stuff before school is even out is more popular than you might think. [More]
National Retail Federation Confirms Existence Of Back-To-School Creep
Last week, we mentioned that even though some schools have just recently finished for the school year, retailers are already beginning their back-to-school promotions. We wondered (and hoped) that this was just an anomaly and that we weren't seeing evidence of Back-To-School Creep, but people who know a thing or two about the retail business say it's a growing trend. [More]
Is Back-To-School Creep A Thing?
Holiday Creep is the retail phenomenon where retailers market holidays earlier and earlier in order to maximize their sales of Christmas trees or chocolate eggs. We all know Christmas Creep and Easter Creep, but is back-to-school creep a thing? How early is too early to start getting ready for the next school year? [More]
Staples Enforces Loss Leader Limits, Makes Teachers Sad
Teachers in high-poverty school districts like Rachael provide, at their own expense, a lot of pretty basic supplies for their students. They do this with the help of back-to-school loss-leader sales at big-box office supply stores. Staples lets them buy twenty-five boxes of crayons for a penny each, and in return the teachers give Staples their undying gratitude and devotion. But Staples, at least in the Northwest where Rachael live, has stopped easing purchase limits for teachers. Teachers are now limited to two of each loss-leader item instead of as many as twenty-five. And while she understands why the company couldn't continue this incredible generosity, it makes her sad. [More]
Scholarships For Moms Seeking Degrees
