Chicago Blackhawks (42-16-15) at Boston Bruins (49-17-6), 7 p.m.
(SportsNetwork.com) - After having their longest winning streak in 43 years snapped, the Boston Bruins will try to rebound on Thursday when they host the Chicago Blackhawks in a rematch of the Stanley Cup Finals.
Boston was on its first 12-game winning streak since the 1970-71 season before losing a shootout decision Monday against the visiting Montreal Canadiens. The Bruins were two wins away from matching the longest run in team history set between Dec. 3, 1929 and Jan. 9, 1930.
The Bruins hope to return to the win column on Thursday against the team that beat them in six games for the Stanley Cup last season. It was the second championship for Chicago in four years after beating Philadelphia in the 2010 Cup Finals.
Chicago actually clinched its 2013 title at Boston's TD Garden on June 24, as Bryan Bickell and Dave Bolland scored goals 17 second apart in the final 1:16 of play to deliver a 3-2 win for the Blackhawks in Game 6. Bolland was dealt to Toronto over the summer, while Bickell has missed the last three games with an upper-body injury and could miss tonight's battle.
Blackhawks winger Patrick Kane, who won the Conn Smythe Trophy for last season's playoffs, is also out for the rest of the regular season with an injured left leg.
The clubs met on Jan. 19 in Chicago and the Blackhawks recorded a 3-2 shootout win to post their third win in the last five regular-season encounters. Boston has won three of the past four matchups at TD Garden, not including last year's playoff meeting.
Boston, which already has clinched a playoff spot and is closing in on an Atlantic Division title, lost for the first time since March 1 on Monday. Alex Galchenyuk scored the only goal in a four-round shootout to lift the Canadiens to the 2-1 win.
The Bruins tied the game with 5:26 left in regulation on a goal from Patrice Bergeron. However, Bergeron, Jarome Iginla, Brad Marchand and David Krejci all failed to score in the shootout portion.
Boston goaltender Tuukka Rask made 21 saves -- stopping all 17 shots he faced between the second period and overtime.
"We played hard," said Bruins coach Claude Julien. "You can't win 12 in a row, lose one in a shootout and say 'I'm really disappointed in my team.'"
The Bruins fell to 28-7-3 as the host this season after Monday's shootout loss. After closing a brief two-game homestand tonight, Boston will head out on a four-game road trip that is set to begin Sunday in Philadelphia.
Chicago has won three of its last four games and is 4-1-1 over its past six trips to the ice. The Blackhawks last played on Tuesday when they notched a 4-2 home win against the Dallas Stars.
Duncan Keith netted the deciding goal late in the second period and Marian Hossa added an empty-net insurance marker as Chicago topped the Stars at United Center.
Andrew Shaw and Kris Versteeg also lit the lamp for the Blackhawks, while Corey Crawford stopped 25-of-27 shots for the victorious hosts.
"It was a big win tonight," Keith said. "I thought we came out, had a pretty good start and we were able to get one on the power play which was nice to get us jump-started."
With 99 points, the Blackhawks are second in the Central Division and close to officially wrapping up a playoff spot. Chicago is six points behind first- place St. Louis in the division and three points ahead of Colorado. Both teams also are in action tonight, with St. Louis hosting Minnesota and the Avalanche playing at home against Vancouver.
Thursday's tilt marks the start of a three-game road trip for the Blackhawks. Chicago is 18-9-8 on the road this season and has lost two straight and four of its last five away from the Windy City.
Six of Chicago's last nine games in the regular season will be played on the road.

Chosan Revolutionary Site
Pyongyang, December 1 (KCNA) -- The Chosan Revolutionary Site is situated in Chosan County, Jagang Province, the DPRK.
The revolutionary site is associated with the feats Kim Hyong Jik, an indomitable revolutionary fighter, performed in the anti-Japanese national liberation struggle.
He visited there several times, including in November Juche 7 (1918), to restore organizations of the Korean National Association (KNA) which were destroyed or daunted by the Japanese imperialists' suppression. He also worked hard there to develop the anti-Japanese national liberation struggle.
He met KNA members and other anti-Japanese and pro-independence activists from throughout the country to indicate ways of invigorating the anti-Japanese struggle based on armed struggle.
He also explained to Chosan-based KNA members about the policy adopted at the Chongsudong meeting and encouraged pro-independence organizations in the areas along the River Amnok to turn out in the patriotic struggle against the Japanese imperialists.
Preserved in the site are historic relics, including Paesin School.

He didn't say "peace"
Still a rule, is it not?
God, that takes me back...
RIP Jacob Schlottke - 1984-2011
"If Cornell finishes ahead of Iowa with five all americans I'll jump into the Des Moines River after finals." -Herkey#1 8/16/12
Great job vais, it's so painful to read Flo's comments. It really does take negatively impact the site.
The thing is, I have no problem with people not agreeing. I knew full well that these would not be popular with everyone and get approval from all fans. I ranked them how I thought they should, and hoped good discussion could follow. The anonymous masses murder any chance of that.
To avoid criticism say nothing, do nothing, be nothing.
Those comments are comical. Half of these people like to disagree simply for the sake of disagreeing but have no real input as to why they think the rankings should differ. I'm not sure that I would have put Ramos in the top 10 but I definitely think he is top 15 and therefore being in the top 10 is not a stretch by any means. The personal insults and name calling shows the intelligence of the people complaining.

Keith Olbermann to host TBS' MLB postseason coverage
Keith Olbermann is getting away from politics for the time being and to dive back into the world of baseball. Turner Sports announced that Olbermann will be joining TBS' Major League Baseball postseason studio show. Also taking part in the show will be Hall of Fame pitcher Dennis Eckersley.
This is familiar ground for Olbermann, who hosted similar postseason baseball shows on NBC and FOX in the 1990s. As for whether he will one day return to politics, Olbermann said in a conference call that he has "absolutely no idea where my career is going. I have certainly learned not to make any predictions."
"Baseball is my passion," Olbermann said. "On a professional level, this is great for me because it's what I do. I did this at home to the TV by myself. Now there will be people watching. I'll get paid for it and I get to wear a tie rather than sitting around in a uniform pretending to be a player."
The MLB playoffs begin in October.

Social Justice as a Unifying Issue for Dharmic Communities
by Joshua Stanton
from the Huffington Post
Religious communities are never the same once they reach America. In my view, they often become even more remarkable.
As a third-generation American Jew, it is at times even challenging for me to think of Judaism apart from the American experience. In spite of hardships early on for our community, the search for common threads between the disparate Jewish groups that came in droves to America two (and more) generations ago forced us to reexamine and hone our religious beliefs. What actually bound us together?…
As has become quite evident in the past several years, another set of religious groups, bolstered by recent waves of immigrants to America, is also looking to social justice as a possible unifying trope. Launched by Anju Bhargava, Hindu-American visionary and founder of Hindu American Seva Charities, this effort seeks to increase long-term collaboration between Buddhist, Hindu, Jain and Sikh communities through religiously inspired volunteerism, charity and social services.
Together, these groups — several of which are comprised primarily of immigrants from South and East Asia — represent what may be described as Dharmic religious communities and a new coalition in the American religious landscape. They are seeking a unique American identity and niche for their adherents. Like other religious communities that have flourished during and after waves of immigration, they appear poised to make essential contributions to American society.

Even after I press one of the options R, P, or S (rock, paper, scissors) and then press ESC it will not quit. Here is what I have and underneath that is the printout of what it is doing. Any ideas would be great. I tried using a continue statement, but it's not working with that either.

Americans grow increasingly intolerant of infidelity
91 percent of adults consider cheating wrong
Hester Prynne, data suggests, wouldn't get much of a break today.
More Americans tolerate things we formerly considered taboo, such as premarital sex, divorce and gay relationships. But there's one glaring exception: We condemn adultery like it's 1642.
According to a recent Gallup poll, 91 percent of adults consider extramarital sex wrong. That's a notable change from 40 years ago, when the National Opinion Research Center found that less than 70 percent of respondents considered adultery "always wrong."
While those results may seem contradictory, they're not, experts say.
People today enjoy more freedom to pursue love, such as exploring premarital sex and having more control over when to enter or exit a marriage. But with more freedom comes more accountability, and lying is the one vice that most of us agree is wrong.
"There's a lot more emphasis now on authentic, honest relationships," said William Doherty, a professor of family social science at the University of Minnesota. "Extramarital affairs that are secret go against the modern trend. Dishonesty is the one thing both liberal and conservative people can condemn."
One possible reason for the shift in attitudes is that people are getting married later. According to the U.S. Census, men marry at age 29 on average, and women marry at 27. In 1950, men married at 23 or 24, women at 20 or 21.
We still value marriage, but its meaning has changed.
Previously, Americans got hitched to join what marriage historian and Evergreen State College Prof. Stephanie Coontz calls "respectable society." Now, more people consider marriage a capstone -- something you do after finding a certain amount of financial, professional and emotional success, as well as romantic experience. Getting married is less about respectability, Coontz says, than individual happiness.
"We respect marriage as a relationship more than any other time in history," Coontz said. "Because of that, we expect more intimacy, more fairness and more fidelity."
Of course, we have traditionally practiced a double standard: Extramarital sex wasn't an absolute no-no for men, but it was for women. And, in cases of divorce, the wives still suffered from the public humiliation, even when it was the men who had cheated.
Mary McNutt of Minneapolis said her husband revealed in 1979 that he was having an affair and filing for divorce. Even though she tried to save the marriage, her neighbors wouldn't let their kids play with her kids when they found out.
"Now divorce is so common," said McNutt, "but I was scared to death."
Coontz says that it wasn't until the mid-20th century, particularly after the rise of feminism, that women began to fight that double standard -- in part by gaining financial independence. (In 1960, married women were the sole breadwinners in just 3.5 percent of families.) Married women now make up 47 percent of national household earnings, according to a report by the University of New Hampshire.
"As women have gained the right to work and earn more income," said Coontz, "they can now, in a sense, put their money where their mouth is and say, 'If you don't behave, I will leave you.'?"
After her divorce, McNutt got two graduate degrees and became a psychologist. If her husband cheated on her today, she says her reaction would be different.
"I would not tolerate that and try to put it together now," she said. "I'd say, 'You're out the door. Goodbye!'?"
Given the strong stand against adultery, you'd think people would be cheating less than in the past. Some statistics actually support the contrary: According to a University of Washington study, the rate of people over the age of 60 who admitted to sexual infidelity sometime during their lives increased between 1991 and 2006 from 20 to 28 percent in men and from 5 percent to 15 percent in women.
But more people admitting to extramarital affairs shouldn't overshadow how gender equality has caused "very powerful changes" in views of sexuality, says Ira Reiss, a pioneer in sexual science research and former professor at the University of Minnesota. Behaviors are more spontaneous than attitudes, he says.
"There is still a significant correlation between attitude and behavior even though a lot of people who would say it's wrong get caught up in the heat of the moment," he said. "An awful lot of those people are there once or twice, and then it's over."

FreePPP 1.0, the first version, was simply a repackaging of MacPPP from Merit Network Inc.; MacPPP developed for the most part by Larry Blunk. MacPPP was actually the first PPP for the Mac OS but was unstable and prone to error. The source code was made freely available and various users released fixes for common bugs. Steve Dagley aggregated most of those patches to MacPPP and added ISDN functionality. He re-released it as FreePPP in early 1994.
FreePPP 2.5, the most popular version, was the result of Apple getting involved in the development of MacPPP. Steve Dagley contacted Apple about his work with FreePPP and convinced Apple to use it for its Internet software, Cyberdog. An Apple engineer, Richard Reynolds, rewrote most of FreePPP, greatly improving stability.
Richard left Apple to form Rockstar Studios along with Brian Chen, creator of the immensely popular screensaver from Berkeley Systems, "After Dark". Apple allowed Richard to take his work with him to Rockstar and continue it. Consequently, Steve Dagley and Richard (along with Rockstar) created The FreePPP Group to manage the distribution and licensing of FreePPP. Steve Dagley developed an all-new control panel that included location management. Rockstar Studios contributed PPP Menu and The Internet Setup Monkey. The Internet Setup Money included a cartoon monkey, developed by Matt Small, that appears to tear apart a computer, install FreePPP then put it back together. Rockstar sold this installer to Internet Service providers.
Apple released a version of FreePPP under the old name MacPPP and included it in a few minor System 7.5.x releases. Open Transport eventually included a completely new PPP developed by Apple directly into Mac OS but many users choose FreePPP for its advanced and easy to use features. Eventually Rockstar Studios released a version of PPP Menu that supported Open Transport PPP consequently FreePPP users slowly migrated to Open Transport PPP. FreePPP is still widely available for users of older Macintosh hardware that cannot run Mac OS X. One of the most popular features of FreePPP is still included in the Mac OS today. Mac OS X includes a menu bar icon that allows users to open and close a PPP connection as well as configure PPP.
As of 2004, Steve Dagley works for Netscape on the Mac OS version of Netscape Communicator. Richard Reynolds still works at Rockstar Studios. Rockstar Studios released software centered on FreePPP and Open Transport PPP though the late '90s then changed its name to Rockstar Software and it changed its focus to Microsoft Windows based Internet account setup software. The company once again changed its name to Aramova, Inc. and changed its focus to wireless software. Aramova does not seem to have any Mac OS products at this time.
Besides Steve Dagley and Richard Reynolds, other contributors in the FreePPP group are Mike Alexander, Yan Arrouye, Steve Brecher, Jim Browne, Alec Carlson, Tom Evans, Joe Husk, Cliff McCollum, Edward Moy, Tom Shaw and John Stephen. Most of the initial patches the Steve Dagley aggregated came from these contributors.

Gandy, FL | St. Petersburg, FL
A new Walmart has opened in Tampa, bringing 300 new jobs, savings for local shoppers and an increase in tax revenue to support the area's economy. Walmart has taken major steps to refresh its stores and the improvements have all come together in the company's newest stores, such as the Tampa Walmart, with fast service, a friendly shopping experience and clean stores. For example, Walmart aligned the departments that customers shop most frequently – the pharmacy is adjacent to food making it easier for customers to pick up their prescriptions while shopping for their groceries.

Illini to Open 2014 with Intrasquad Exhibition Saturday
Aug. 20, 2014
Champaign, Ill. - Six days prior to the Illini's season opener, the Illini Networkers will host an exhibition match on Saturday, Aug. 23, beginning at 7 p.m. The Orange and Blue will showcase their depth by playing a four-set intrasquad scrimmage, and in honor of the annual alumni celebration, a large group of former Illini will be recognized prior to the match. The exhibition will allow fans to get a first look at the 2014 Fighting Illini and will serve as the first opportunity to experience all of this past summer's renovations to Huff Hall.
"You'll get to see the improvements the team's made," said head coach Kevin Hambly. "The people who came to watch us in the spring saw things that they were excited about, and they can see how we've progressed since then. I think mostly just to get a feel for what the team's going to be like. It's actually going to be really competitive, we'll have two really competitive sides of the net."
The Illini return every starter from 2013 except for standout libero Jennifer Beltran '14, including AVCA Third-Team All-American Jocelynn Birks and AVCA All-Region Honorable Mention Liz McMahon, who were both named Preseason All-Big Ten. Senior Morganne Criswell and junior Ali Stark also return to the rotation on the outside, along with sophomores Michelle Strizak and Katie Roustio.
With the addition of setter Allison Palmer to the Illini roster, a January transfer from Arizona State, Hambly has opted to shift to a 6-2 setter rotation. Returning starter Alexis Viliunas and sophomore McKenna Kelsay will compete with Palmer for the two starting spots in the lineup.
"I think people have a lot of questions about what the 6-2 looks like," said Hambly, "and how some of the younger players are doing that they haven't seen before, like McKenna Kelsay and Allison Palmer. So they'll get a chance to see all those guys play."
Fans will also see the battle for the two starting middle blocker spots between returners Anna Dorn, Maddie Mayers, Katie Stadick and Kathryn Polkoff, along with incoming freshman Matti Bielfeldt.
The Illini have three defensive specialists on the roster for 2014 who will all fight for the chance to succeed Beltran at libero in junior Julia Conard, sophomore Danielle Davis and freshman Brandi Donnelly, who began training with the team in January.
With so many lineup spots up for grabs, Saturday's intrasquad exhibition is sure to be a hard-fought battle for a chance to earn a start on opening night.
Sixteen alumni are expected to be in attendance on Saturday, including three-time All-Big Ten selection Disa (Johnson) Garner (1984-87), All-Americans and current Illini staff members Johannah Bangert (2007-10) and Hillary Haen (2007-10), and 1996 First-Team All-Big Ten selection Kelly (Scherr) McClure (1993-96). Recent alumni Courtney Abrahamovich (2011-14), Hannah Deterding (2010-11), Rachel Feldman (2008-11), Kristine Anderson Rousseau (2006-08) and Amelia (Coleman) Brummund (2006) plan to attend, along with some of the Illini's earlier players, including Kelly (See) Finet (1981-84), Mary (Coleman) Hambly (1995-98), Megan (Stettin) Isenberg (1992-95), Laura (Haselhorst) Mueller (1995-98), Rena Zenarosa (1992-94) and Melissa Vandrey (2000-03), as well as former manager Scott Randall (1994-98).
"I think it's great of course as a coaching staff to see (all the alumni), but I think it's even better for our players to get around them and understand the legacy of what was ahead of them and the sense of history that's here at Illinois," said Hambly. "There's a great tradition here in volleyball; some great players have gone through and great people. To be a part of that, what it means, I think it's more exciting for me that way. For our players, it's really exciting to see them interact."
The exhibition is a ticketed event, however unlike during the regular season, all seating is general admission. Season ticket packages do include a ticket to the match, but reserved ticket holders are not guaranteed their regular seat. Admission is $5 to the general public, $2 for youth, and free for Illinois students with their I-Card. To purchase an advance ticket, call 1-866-ILLINI-1 or visit the Illinois Ticket Office located at 2141 S. Neil St., in Champaign. Tickets will also be available for purchase at the ticket mobile located outside of Huff Hall beginning one hour prior to the match.

With the exception of E. coli infections, the rate of outbreaks from other pathogens tracked by the CDC rose from 2007 to 2011. The decline in E. coli–related illnesses is in part the result of strong actions taken by the USDA. Following an outbreak caused by tainted hamburger that killed four children in 1993, the agency declared E. coli 0157:H7, the strain that sickened the children, an adulterant, making it illegal for companies under USDA jurisdiction to sell food contaminated with the bacterium. But potentially fatal bacteria other than E. coli have yet to be declared adulterants.
It would be truly impossible for any government agency to prevent every case of food poisoning in our country. But in report after report, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) has uncovered woeful shortcomings within the FDA. Its product-recall process is ineffective and confusing. It has done a poor job of dealing with the overuse of antibiotics in livestock feed. It lacks the scientific capacity to perform its duties. Even when it uncovers health violations at food-processing plants, the FDA takes enforcement action in about half of the cases and almost never imposes fines, making it logical for corporations to risk making people ill, since the worst they can expect is a warning letter.
By the time doctors diagnosed Schwarz with listeriosis, the FDA had zeroed in on the source of the contaminant—a farm in Colorado owned by brothers Eric and Ryan Jensen. Inspectors descended on Jensen Farms three times during September 2011. Conditions could hardly have been more favorable for listeria, which thrives in moist areas. There was no system for precooling the picked cantaloupes; this allowed condensation to form on their rinds as they were refrigerated. Water stood in puddles on the floor. The washing and drying machinery was rigged in a way that made it all but impossible to clean, so corrosion, dirt, and "product buildup" remained even after the machinery supposedly had been sanitized. Finally, Jensen washed its fruits in only water, using no chlorine or other antimicrobial solution that might have killed the listeria.
Jensen issued a recall on September 14, but the damage had been done. On October 18, more than a month after its initial investigations, the FDA issued a warning letter to the company (which eventually filed for bankruptcy). If there ever was an example of too little too late, this was it.
Until people started dropping dead, the Jensen facility had never once in its 20-year history been inspected by the FDA, even though the agency considers fresh produce to be "high risk" and a priority for inspection. Like most produce companies, Jensen used third-party auditors to certify its handling systems. On July 25, at about the same time the first people were sickened by contaminated cantaloupe, one auditor visited Jensen for four hours and blessed the plant with a "superior" rating of 96 percent.

Mark Fidrych Remembered (8/14/54-4/13/09)
- Login to add to Favorites
- 1 Comment
Yankee classic from June 2001
The faint scent of sheep manure drifts up into this otherwise spotless kitchen in Northborough, Massachusetts. Pulling on well-worn brown duck coveralls, Mark Fidrych is on his way to the barn, where one of his ewes is about to give birth. On the island counter, beside a bottle of Gatorade, a small stack of mail waits to be taken to the post office. He stops briefly to explain the letters, which come in every day from fans who remember that one year. 1976, which for Mark and the Detroit Tigers, represents perhaps the briefest, most spectacular pitching career in the history of baseball. It was 25 years ago. He touches the stack with the tip of a long finger. "Yeah," he says. "I'm a lucky guy."
Patches, his five-year-old springer spaniel, hops up into the cab of the red Ford pickup, and Mark follows. He is 46 now, the famous curly mop of hair trimmed down to a manageable frizz. And he is huskier than when he played. Six-foot-three but a stringbean then, maybe too slight to throw 93-mile-per-hour fastballs and sliders over and over and over. Once he pitched back-to-back 11-inning complete games. Another game he threw 156 pitches. Too many, maybe. Maybe that's what did his arm in. He sometimes thinks that. When he ended his career, it was the rotator cuff, torn front and back. Doctors could fix that now. But they didn't know how to then. He pitched until he literally couldn't throw any longer.
"And if I had taken the season off, they tell me now, it might have been OK. But for me, it was like, you don't stop, you keep going. I didn't go to college. I had a high school diploma and all I could think of was, I've got this, this is a great life. I've got a job doing something I like! Maybe the pain will go away, maybe it's just tendonitis. I figured, if I took time off, you don't know what will happen."
Starting when he was a kid in high School, Mark has never known what was going to happen. It was one day in 1974 when a scout for the Detroit Tigers spotted Mark playing on his high school ball field in Worcester. Mark was 19 years old. A few days after he graduated, the scout knocked on his screen door. In his hand he had a contract he wanted Mark to sign, to pitch for the Tigers. "That's when my life changed," he says now. "Everything changed."
At the beginning Mark lingered in the minors for an entire month after he was drafted, never once getting to the mound. "My buddy, Melvyn Ray, was sitting in the dugout with me, telling me not to get depressed. He says. 'I've been around for two years, and I'm still here. You'll get your chance. But, listen, you got to change the way you think. You see that starter up there right now?' And I says, 'Yeah.' 'Well, you better be sitting here right now praying that he flubs up.' And I says, 'I can't do that! We're a team!' And he says. 'But Mark, if he doesn't flub up, you'll never get up there. Don't think of it as bad, because when he flubs up and you get out there, don't you think I'll be sitting here praying that you flub up so I can get out there and show my talent?' "
Just like a script, the pitcher on the mound gets himself into trouble. The phone in the dugout rings, and Mark is told to start warming up. His buddy Mel turns to him and says. "All right, Mark, now's your time! Show them what you can do!"
In time he showed the Tigers that he was ready for the big leagues, and at age 21 Mark "The Bird," the man who talked to the Ball, was blasted into the living rooms of unsuspecting Americans. Women, especially women, started watching baseball for the first time. His elastic rotations, the elated pirouettes, the way he would dance out across the field to congratulate his teammates after a good play, all those little things that no one had ever seen a ballplayer do before became etched in America's consciousness. For one flickering moment in time, The Bird became a household name.
When Mark tells the story of his brief and legendary career, he doesn't talk about this or about winning 19 games as a rookie. He doesn't mention the All Stars or Rookie of the Year or the fact that he was the only baseball player ever to have been on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. He doesn't tell about that indelible June night when the Detroit fans, 50.000 of them-on their feet screaming, refused to leave the stadium until he came back out onto the field, flanked by police officers, and waved back to them.

Buried drums, echoed guitar, and soft cries suddenly transform into a blasting romance number; the rhythm section work easily rivals that of any other early '80s post-punkers, while the almost mandolin-like arrangements on the chorus are a lovely touch. Add in the Astons' passionate lyrics to a missing love and the glammy rush of the song, and Immigrant is off and running. Like Promise, variety is part of the album's appeal, ranging from the slow punch and chanting of "Stephen" to the giddy blasts of "Worth Waiting For" (with an intentionally hilarious spoken-word break in the middle) and "Cow," Immigrant's underrated highlight. When at their most mystic and tribal, the Astons nail it more often than not; the title track connects especially well, sounding like Echo and the Bunnymen's slightly more florid cousin with an especially catchy chorus. The group isn't afraid to let humor sneak through in other areas, as they prove in naming the last three songs "The Rhino Plasty," "Deep South Wale," and "Coal Porter." That final tune is especially good, a lovedrunk remembrance of the past with evocative imagery and a lovely arrangement; its soft percussion and electric guitar are carefully filled out with piano and backing vocals.

• Cimarron High School
First News Summer 2010
Lights, Cameras, Action!
Cimarron High School may be the only state school in New Mexico to be equipped
with a state-of-the-art video board, which dramatically enhances sporting events
and student activities, creating excitement among students and sport fans alike.
Much like a national network broadcast, the video production requires a team of
students to generate artwork on the big screen for volleyball and basketball games
and to transmit those games to the rest of the world at www.chsrams.org/tv. That
team of students is the Cimarron High School's Broadcast class taught by Joe Giglia
as a "zero" hour elective credit meaning students don't take it within the regular
school day, instead; they devote time after school and during games to practice
their broadcast skills—and receive an elective credit for it. Principal Letitia
Martinez comments, "Even though Joe Giglia is the teacher, he is more a facilitator.
His team is made up of students who do everything from directing the broadcasts
to running the cameras." Such dedication has landed his students an opportunity
to work with the New Mexico Activities Association by broadcasting state basketball
games. This year, the NMAA invited one student, Shalese Shell, to do color commentary
at the state basketball tournament. Shalese did commentary for the Cimarron High
School games and developed quite a talent for it.
Likewise, Mr. Giglia teaches
other related subject matter such as graphic arts and video production, which contribute
to the overall broadcast effort. Ms. Martinez said, "What these students create
are video commercials and print images that are shown throughout the course of a
game in the gym, and over the broadcast medium." This print and video ad space is
available for sale to advertisers during basketball games. From a business marketing
standpoint, "It's a great opportunity for businesses that wish to appeal to a local
and captive audience (in the gym), and also broadcast to others throughout the world
who watch the games. Students' families from all over the nation tune in to www.chsrams.org/tv
to watch their grandsons, granddaughters, nieces, and nephews. In fact, we've had
people from international destinations tune in to our broadcasts."

to volleyball and basketball games, the video production team will also broadcast

"The New White Flight" was the title of an eye-opening article in a recent issue of The Wall Street Journal. It was about a high school in Cupertino, Calif., where a growing Asian-American student population is causing academic standards to rise - and causing many white parents to withdraw their children from the school and some to move out of the community.
The school has some of the highest test scores in the state. But although everybody is in favor of high academic standards in the abstract, not everyone is in favor of having to struggle to meet those standards.

MARION, Iowa The world seemed to be crumbling around the Jefferson J-Hawks.
They had blown an eight-point lead late in the third set and squandered a couple of match points in the fourth.
"You know, we could have thought, 'OK, this is as good as it's going to get. We gave it a good shot,' " said Coach Mary Kay Van Oort. "But I honestly don't think the thought crossed our minds."
Not with Amanda Ollinger in the front row.
Ollinger delivered the final two of her kills on the final two points of the match, rescuing the J-Hawks to a four-set win (25-21, 25-19, 23-25, 26-24) in a Class 5A regional quarterfinal volleyball match Monday night at Linn-Mar High School.
"I really don't know what to say," said J-Hawks setter Kaylie Zitek. "This has become a family. We've become closer. We believe in ourselves, and it's an awesome feeling."
A team that won only four matches last year, Jefferson (18-21) advances to face Iowa City West in a regional semifinal Thursday at West. The Women of Troy (26-9) drew a first-round bye.
Van Oort came aboard after last season. One of her first hard decisions was to move Ollinger a talented, hard-swinging 6-foot-1 sophomore from the middle to the outside.
"I was a middle, and I love the middle because that's where the action is," Van Oort said. "But I realized that, at the high school level, you get more sets to the outside. And we needed to get Amanda more sets."
The transition "was a little tough at first," Ollinger said. "But I've learned a lot, and I still have a lot to learn. I just want to make the most of it here and be the best player I can be."
Jefferson was the team with the answers at the end of the first two games, emerging from a 20-20 deadlock in the first set (Ollinger scored three straight J-Hawks points with two kills in a block) and tallying the final seven points of Game 2 to erase a 19-18 disadvantage.
The J-Hawks were poised for a sweep, leading the third game, 21-13, before the Lions (23-15) awakened.
Linn-Mar concluded the set with a 12-2 run, capped by Audra Schminke's ace. You figured the momentum had shifted. But Van Oort looked at her players' faces at the beginning of Game 4, and saw resolve.
"You could see it in their eyes," Van Oort said. "They weren't giving up. I'm so proud of them. They really do believe they can win now."
Jefferson raced to a 6-1 lead in the fourth set and controlled play through most of it. They led, 22-18, before Linn-Mar made a final flurry. Sami Boekhoff slammed three kills as the Lions rallied, erased two match points and got even at 24-24. That set the stage for Ollinger's final daggers.
"They were the team that deserved to move on," said Linn-Mar Coach Teresa Kehe. "They were the team that showed up tonight. They had better ball control and they saw the floor better."
Boekhoff collected 13 kills for the Lions. Aryn Jones added 10.
Zitek collected 28 assists, the majority to Ollinger. Front row, back row ... Ollinger was a threat wherever she received a set.
"We can always go to her," Zitek said. "She's always on fire. Everywhere."

Chavez Gets New Boats From Cuba
You all might know I have an oil industry pal in New Orleans that sets things straight, debunks the MSM's and administration's presentation of energy stories (They pretty much hyped or twisted, and even got completely wrong, much of the Gulf oil spill ... even Humberto proved the fishing was okay). He has also kept me updated on the bankruptcies of Obama's pet "green energy" companies before the MSM didn't even bother covering it.
My friend sends along this info on Hugo Chavez the oily beauhunk and his new boats...
Some are making a fuss about these being for military. Sure they have that ability as "landing craft." However, I will point out the necessity of such vessels for moving heavy road type construction equipment and land drilling rigs to inaccessible (by road) locations. Here is an example but with a stern ramp.
(Caracas, 16 de marzo – Noticias24).- The Bolivarian Navy received the first of four multipurpose vessels built at shipyards in Cuba. The ship "Los Frailes Tango 91" features the latest technology, and its objective the conduct of military maneuvers and social.
My friend concludes:
Meanwhile, Venezuela's state owned oil company, PDVSA, continues to lose money and production annually, ever since the "white collar" worker general strike (against Chavez's policies) in 2002. Their production is DOWN 35%. If anyone can lose money at $100/bbl of produced oil it would Chavez and his policies.
I emphasized those last two lines because, well, as we all have figured out Obama is using Chavez and Venezuela (when he's not using the failed socialist systems of Europe) as a template for the United States.

NBA Pick: Chicago Bulls vs. San Antonio Spurs
- Updated: January 29, 2014
Matchup: Chicago Bulls vs. San Antonio Spurs
Date/Time: January 29th, 9:30 p.m. ET
Television: ESPN
Basketball Odds from BetDSI
Point Spread: San Antonio -8.5
Total: 192.5
The Chicago Bulls are beaten up with injuries, but they are trying their best to hang in there against some of the best teams in the biz. They've got another one of these awesome squads in NBA betting action on Wednesday night, as they take on the San Antonio Spurs at the AT&T Center.
Take any team in the NBA right now and put that team in your head. Take its franchise player off of the court via injury. Now take its second best player and trade it away for nothing but future assets. Then take the man who replaced the franchise player and put him on the bench via injury as well. Do you think you have a .500 team left? Sure, it's the Eastern Conference, but Head Coach Tom Thibodeau should be the Coach of the Year for keeping these Bulls above water. G Derrick Rose is out for the season, F Luol Deng was shipped off to the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the backup point guard who has turned into the starter, G Kirk Hinrich has been out with a hamstring injury. Hinrich might finally get back into the fold tonight, and that would be a tremendous help for a team whose depth is really being tested. As it is, the Bulls have beaten some of the best in the biz, and even though there have been a lot of bad losses in the mix as well, this is definitely an opportunity to take advantage.
This is a questionable game for the Spurs. They have lost four of their last six games, including getting beaten last night in a 97-90 game on the road against the Houston Rockets. This is the type of situation where F Tim Duncan, G Tony Parker, and G Manu Ginobili should be resting, or at least getting lighter minutes. Head Coach Gregg Popovich has done a great job of resting his big time players so they're ready for the playoff push, and with last night's game coming against a division rival and tonight's game coming against a team from the opposite conference, and one who is no threat to steal home court advantage in a potential NBA Finals against the Spurs at that, it's clearly a game of little importance. However, do remember that San Antonio is only working with 11 players right now who are healthy. G Danny Green, F Kawhi Leonard, and C Tiago Splitter are nowhere near returning to the lineup, and to make matters worse, Ginobili has a hamstring problem and might not be able to play even if he wanted to.
With the Spurs facing the real possibility of having to play a good chunk of this game, if not the entirety of this game with a very short rotation of just 10 players, one of which is Duncan, who just played over 30 minutes last night, and one of which is Parker, who just played nearly 40 minutes last night, we have a feeling that this is a game which Coach Pop is going to tank. The Bulls don't understand the meaning of giving up, and they'll come forward with a huge upset victory on the road on Wednesday night. Chicago 96 – San Antonio 90

Tree Frog Treks
I am thinking about the upcoming summer, and trying to find one camp where both my 5 (entering kindergarten) and 7 (entering 2nd grade) year olds can go. I am interested in anyone's experiences with Camp Galileo (specifically the Rockridge location), Junior Center For Art & Science, Tree Frog Treks, or Mad Science camps. I like that most of these mix science with art and outdoors experiences, and I like that they all provide flexibility with the way their sessions are structured. I would love feedback on how your children enjoyed the programs, what you thought of the staff, etc. Any information would be appreciated! mom

Dial Access Sale...

The Dial Access Sale we had back in August was popular. Sales during September have been weak. And.. We now can provide DUAL channel access on Qwest and StarPOP and so have created a new dial plan F for this combination. So here's what I'm going to do... I'm reviving the August Dial Access Sale, 2-years $240 dial plan A. That's a single channel analog access or a single channel ISDN connection for just $10/month if you pay for two years at a time before the end of October. In addition, I'm going to offer 2-years of DUAL channel connectivity for $480. Dual channel analog 112k connectivity (MLP) or dual channel ISDN for just $20/month if you pay for two years at a time before the end of October. And both of these include all the normal goodies. Web hosting under our domain (and you can have it under your domain if you also purchase a virtual domain), 110MB of disk space, and all the normal shell tools and toys. So for those of you who procrastinated until August was gone, or maybe you were on vacation an came back to find you had just missed a good sale, here's your second chance. If you're currently on dial plan B or D and wonder what will be required to change, you will need to change the dialup username, password, and access number in your dial-up networking entry and normally that's it. If you're still on MegaPOP only, you will also need to change your outgoing SMTP mail server settings from mail.eskimo.com to star.eskimo.com. If you have time remaining on your existing account, to take advantage of this sale you have to be willing to switch to the new dialups right away, actually you'll be given about a week to make the switch. Your new expiration date will be two years out from whatever your present day expiration date is. You won't get extra credit for the conversion, it will just be two years added on to the existing expire date. So if for example your present expiration date is March 3, 2002, your new expire date would be March 3, 2004.

Dubbed the Option Pack, the suite of software tools includes the third beta version of Internet Information Server 4.0, previously code-named K2, and a set of communications technologies called BaseCamp that provide secure connections across the public Internet.
Also included in the release are third beta versions of the Personal Web Server 4.0 for Windows 95 and NT Workstation, Message Queue Server 1.0, Certificate Server 1.0, Index Server 2.0, and Site Server Express 2.0. A version of Internet Explorer 4.0 for Windows NT Workstation is also included.
The Option Pack strategy means that other periodic upgrades released by Microsoft called Service Packs will now contain bug fixes, as they were originally intended, said analysts. Microsoft had been supplying both bug fixes and new software in the Service Packs, said Dwight Davis, editor of Windows Watcher.
The Option Pack is available for download at Microsoft's Web site.
Microsoft officials said the third beta version IIS 4.0 would be the last before a final version of the free add-on for Windows NT Server 4.0 is released.

UTV Ignition will no longer publish Dragon's Crown (I'm guessing because they probably closed down). Atlus has announced that they will be publishing and help the developer finish the game. Atlus is a great company, aren't they? Dragon's Crown will be coming to the Playstation 3 and Playstation Vita on Spring 2013. Just in case if you forgot, Dragon's Crown is a multiplayer beat-em-up developed by Vanillaware best known for making high quality RPG's such as GrimmGrimoire and Odin Sphere.

The Vampire Diaries
Top 20 Quotes from The Vampire Diaries Season 3 Finale
One thing we'll never say about The Vampire Diaries: "You took the words right out of our mouths." Elena and the gang utter things we'd never dream of saying — or at least hope we never have to. Without further ado, here are the top 20 notable quotables from the third season finale, "The Departed."
20. I do what I want
Bonnie: The spirits don't get to tell me what to do anymore. I'm done getting pushed around by all of you.
19. True words
Klaus (to Caroline while in Tyler's body): I'm a lost cause. But you're strong and you have a beautiful future ahead of you.
18. Back in the day…
Elena: Jeremy locked himself in the bathroom again. Does he think we don't know what he's doing in there?
Aunt Jenna: Jeremy's 14. They don't think.
17. In other words "I love you, man!"
Damon (to Stefan): Have I told you lately how much I appreciate you not being the dumbest brother on earth?
16. He's the law
Alaric: I'm getting this town back under control.
15. Bonnie saw it all coming!
Bonnie: Say what you want, but I've got a bad feeling about the bonfire tonight.
14. Choose or lose
Stefan: Nothing wrong with free will, Matt. Trust me. You don't realize that until you lose it.
13. You call that a good deal?
Alaric: Find out where Klaus's body is being hidden. I'll kill him and all his siblings. Then when I die vampires will no longer exist.
Jeremy: But the only way for you to die is if Elena dies.
Alaric: Then lock me up. Have Bonnie put a spell on me like she did Klaus... Let Elena live a long, healthy human life. And when her life is over, mine will be too.
12. To quote Bon Jovi, "it's my life…"
Tyler: This is our lives. Let me protect you.
Caroline: If we have to spend the rest of our lives running, I will run with you. But first I have to help my friends.
11. Can a girl get a moment alone with an Original?
Bonnie (to Damon about an incapacitated Klaus): Elena and Jeremy lost Jenna and Alaric because of him [Klaus]. Tyler's a hybrid. My mother's a vampire. Could you give me a minute to just to just appreciate the sight of him like this?
10. Tea party pooper
Matt: Sorry. I over-honeyed. I suck at tea.
9. Amen!
Elena: You should love the person that makes you glad to be alive.
8. A crazy kind of love
Elena: The problem is: Damon. When I'm with him he consumes me.
7. Stefan is his brother's speaker
Damon: Well, I guess you'll just have to say goodbye for both of us. Call me if you cough up a lung.
6. Choose and lose
Bonnie: It was her call.
Damon: You know what else was her call? Every bad thing ever.
5. So sarcastic
Rebekah (to Stefan): You're alive. Congratulations.
4. Little did she know
Elena: It's Mystic Falls. Nothing bad ever happens here.
3. 'Ric's got your back
Alaric's ghost: I just want you to know that I will always be here to look after you, Jeremy. You never have to be alone.
2. The truth shall…
Elena: I care about you Damon, which is why I have to let you go. I mean, maybe if you and I had met first…
1. …break a heart
Damon: If it was just down to him and me and you had to make a choice who got the goodbye, who would it be?
Elena: I love him, Damon. He came into my life at a time when I needed someone and I fell for him instantly. No matter what I feel for you, I never unfall for him.
Damon: Yeah, I get it. Stefan. It's always gonna be Stefan.

AMD's Kaveri onslaught: New A10 & A8 APUs, better pricing, lower power consumption July 31, 2014 at 8:00 am
AMD is launching a group of new SKUs for its Kaveri lineup and the new chips substantially improve on the value proposition of the product line.
Perils of a paper launch: AMD's A8-7600 pushed back to late 2014 April 9, 2014 at 4:04 pm
AMD has pushed back its already "launched" A8-7600 to the second half of the year for retail availability. For now, Kaveri is confined to the high-end of AMD's price stack.
AMD Kaveri A10-7850K and A8-7600 review: Was it worth the wait for the first true heterogeneous chip? January 14, 2014 at 8:00 am
Seven and a half years ago, AMD announced that it would acquire graphics chip manufacturer ATI as part of its long-term strategic vision. AMD's business case for the ATI acquisition rested on a vision of the future in which GPUs shared die space with the CPU and could be tapped as advanced co-processors within specific workloads. AMD dubbed its new plan "Fusion," and promised to ship silicon by 2011. Three more years of innovation, and we have today's Kaveri, arguably the first APU to fully deliver the vision AMD articulated back when DirectX 9 was standard and programmable GPUs had yet to hit the market.

opinionBy Charles Appiagyei
"A yardstick to measure the level of development of a nation is by how far the most vulnerable of society - the aged, disabled, women and children are integrated" President Thabo Mbeki
Ghana has about a tenth of its population being persons with disability. These are people with physical, mental or sensory impairments suffering from physical, cultural and social barriers that substantially limit their participation in major life activities - making them vulnerable, deprived and socially excluded.
Seeking integration and respect of their rights as persons and as citizens, people with disability in Ghana, spurred on by the international climate in 1981 when the UN International Year for Disabled People [IYDP] was declared, and the subsequent Declaration of the Decade on Disability [1983-1992] which brought in its wake the UN Standard Rules on Equalization of Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities [1993], were relentless in their demand for legislation, policies and programmes to improve their lives.
In Ghana, rewards of their strive are the Articles 29 and 37.2b of the 1992 Constitution, the National Disability Policy Document of 2000, Part V of the Labour Act, 2003 and Persons with Disability Act, 2006, among others. Persons with disability have therefore secured a good measure of provisions for the promotion and protection of their rights. What is left is their enforcement.
Implementation of the disability law and policy, not to mention other provisions for people with disability like that on employment in the labour law and the 2% allocation of the District Assemblies' Common Fund (DACF), are all suffering. It has been two years since the disability law was enacted yet the body established by the Act to ensure its operation - the National Council on Persons with Disability [NCPWD] - is not in place.
The Council, whose governing body shall include representatives of the Ministries of Manpower, Youth and Employment; Health, Education, Women and Children's Affairs and Local Government and organizations such as the Employer's Association and Ghana Federation of the Disabled, is expected to monitor and evaluate disability policies and programmes, formulate strategies for broad-base inter-sectoral and inter-disciplinary involvement in the implementation of the national disability policy, coordinate disability activities, advocate on disability issues at all levels, research and provide education and information on disability to the public.
Additionally, it is to mobilize resources for the attainment of these objectives mentioned which in any case are not exhaustive. Such is the onerous task that awaits the Council. Its establishment and functioning are therefore imperative and must not wait.
Public buildings are springing up each day without disability access. Public education and information hardly reach the deaf because sign language interpretation is absent. Stigmatization and exclusion are still rife because of lack of awareness on disability to erode negative mindsets and attitudes. Poverty and disability keep reinforcing each other because of employment and education challenges; and people with disability live unempowered. These and more are what the law, which provides on the rights of people with disability, their education, employment, health and transportation seeks to address.
"Addressing disability is a significant part of reducing poverty. Bringing disabled people out of the corners and back alleys of society, and empowering them to thrive in the bustling centre of national life, will do much to improve the lives of many from among the poorest of the poor around the world" James D. Wolfenson
Government has to be proactive on the implementation of the law. The Council the law establishes must be set up to work. It will implement the disability policy whose long term goal is to "fully mainstream all persons with disability into national development process and improve their quality of life through equalization of opportunities by the year 2020".
The time has come for special incentives to people with disability in business and employers of people with disability [enshrined in both the labour and disability laws] to be spelt out to promote employment for people with disability. Their status and profile must be raised so that they can be earners and managers of their local work groups than roaming the streets for alms - an enterprise criminal and self demeaning.
District Assemblies should be sensitive to disability issues. They ought to have the clout to build and to approve only structural designs that are disability-friendly and incorporate the needs of people with disability in their plans and budgets.
Service providers should recognize the market they are missing from inaccessible environment - about 10% equity patronage from people with disability and their dearest and nearest. Some banks have taken the cue with provision of ramps and customer attention to persons with disability. All an internet café needs to get a blind patron, for instance, is a speech device [JAWS] to one of the computers to make it accessible.
The Parliamentary Subcommittee on Social Services and other collaborators last year conducted access audit with visits to many public facilities across the country. It was a laudable exercise but how have the findings been used?
The media must partner persons with disability and their organisations to create awareness on the law, advocate its implementation, monitor its compliance and evaluate performance. Generating and disseminating relevant information on disability will add to advocacy and sensitization.
Persons with disability must not only participate fully in society but must contribute positively to its growth and development. They are capable if opportuned and that is what the disability law seeks to do - providing the enabling environment and leverage.
Disability is a social construct and it is everybody else's responsibility to de-construct it. The law must work to afford people with disability social justice, integration, greater livelihood, security, full inclusion and participation in the lives of their communities, more independence and self-determination. The affront to our humanity and dignity should end.

Is this the legit 4's no bull ? ?
June 14, 2012 BY Brendan Dunne / 38
If you successfully picked up the Air Jordan IV 'Military' last weekend just know that your conquest for OG colored Air Jordan IV's in 2012 is only half way done (that is of course if the White/Cement are firmly in your clutches as well). Next on the menu is this August release; the white, varsity red, black combo that skips out on the Mars Blackmon logo this time around. And while OG colorways always do well this one has quite a bit of competition, looking to land around the same time that we'll be buried under a huge heap of Olympic tie ins. Can the Air Jordan IV make its mark nonetheless? Let us know what you think as you check out the latest shots after the jump. Photos: 8420
Air Jordan IV
White/Varsity Red-Black
Filed under: Air Jordan Upcoming Sneakers
Tags: Air Jordan (4) IV
Is this the legit 4's no bull ? ?
I saw the 4th as the listed date on NT I'm pretty sure.. starting now in Canada - no more pre-order system at FTL, for Jordans only! F-Nike and F-JB for trying to cause more hype over shoes that people are getting hurt for in the US----for shame Nike/JB, for shame. Oh well such is life...if these drop on the 4th with no pre-orders available I'm screwed as I have to work a tradeshow and I NEVER buy outside of retail..
why they wont tell us the date its about two months away we knew when the obsidians was gonna drop around the first of the year im guessing it will be on the 4th
my wallet's been eyeing these for a minute
Pass i still have the Mars on DS
i might pass because of all the HEAT coming for the 2012 holiday and the early part of next year .......
I've been waiting for the Fire Red 4's to come back not only bc they are an OG colorway but bc of the fact that this specific colorway was releases in November 1989 the same exact month and year I was born. Glad that JB took off the MARS LOGO but it would've been nice if they actually used FIRE RED on these. But everybody they used Varsity Red on them bc Fire Red Paint cost more to put on them. Either way I'm getting these bc I've always wanted them.
i thought it was "fire-red" and not varsity?
My favorite OG 4 colorway a definite cop!
DAM BEAUTIFUL! Can't wait to add this one to my collection den all I would need r da BREDS since I got all da 4's dat dropped dis year. Definitely a good year for da 4 's my second favorite Jordan next to da 3's.
beverly hills cop
I'm a purest I love og's but I've always found it hard to find these attractive compared to the white cement and black cement, feel like these fire reds are nice, but...just no comparison 4 the other 2, just my penny plus one
Damn i remember my mom gave away by Mars to charity but i didnt trip because i knew it was for a good cause.Definitely getting these brings back memories
unemployed in higschool, cant get these and the bred 4s, gotta go wit just the breds :(
No questions asked its in my stash!
a must COP!
waiting for the bred 4s though. but these are still a cop
Def going to cop these. Got the white cements but not the militarys. Plan on picking up these and the bred 4's later this year. 3/4 for the retro 4's this year aint too bad.
Man am I getting excited for these!!!!!!!!!! Can't hardly wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Definitely coppin 2,3,4 times than what I normally would. These r my favorite 4's of all.
Nice pics, but someone needs to remove some lighting. Over-saturated.
This is a no questions asked pickup in my opinion
were these in that movie?? i swear i remember seeing them in there now
I feel you bro. The cements are sick though
I've got a job in highschool and i still can't afford half the shoes i want! lol
ay, at least your spending your own money. props on that.
Im a pass on these just because I know Im gonna get the Breds and not think about these again
me too! Only I added the CAVS colorway also. Not OG but still sick!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have the perfect twitter name
jus picked up the military blues today almost a week after dey came out i wish all releases were like this i wonder why so many ppl passed on em i hope not cus of the obsidian 12s cus i aint feelin dose
Naw man! Axel Foley wore Adidas. I'm thinkin' ROBOCOP!!!!!
I agree lil homey. You still in the game
not in my neck of the woods. They was sold out pretty quick in L.A. Must be a dodger thing. I copped 2 pair and I will hopefully do the same for this colorway. A must have and then some. I need these IVs in my life asap!!!
DId you forget that Air Yeezys were released on same day as military blues?lol

Dog Paw Licking
Dogs licking paws - why they do it and how to stop it
Where to Start
Paw Licking Triggers
What helps, What hurts
Stress and Lick Granuloma
Paw Licking by Breed
Other Sites and Resources
Why do dogs lick their paws?
Dog paw licking and dog paw chewing is a common condition with a wide variety of causes. If left untreated, it can lead to painful and often serious consequences.
This site is an attempt to help solve this itchy puzzle and provide a plan of action for dog owners.
We know that many of you wouldn't be reading this if you hadn't already seen your vet, tried everything you can think of, and still can't seem to find a solution.
Every dog is different, but paw licking usually falls into a few distinct categories so here's a list of ways to figure out why your dog licks his paws and what you can do to help your dog.
Dog paw licking usually boils down to asking two questions:
1. Does my dog have itchy paws?
2. Does my dog lick his paws out of boredom, anxiety, or instinct?
Paw licking can be caused by environmental factors like allergies, mites, fleas, fungus, etc. Or, the psychological tendency of dogs (especially certain breeds) to lick their paws, sometimes to the point of self-injury.
If your dog licks only one paw with no visible injury, or just the front paws, it's probably psychological.
If she licks all four paws, it's probably allergies, physiological issues or environmental factors.
Thousands of owners and vets have reached the limits of their resources and yet some dogs continue to lick and chew to the point of bleeding sores, hair loss, infections, granulomas, and permanent scarring. In these cases, treatment comes down to an attempt to alleviate symptoms and control the behavior as much as possible.
Paw licking is triggered by stress from both external and internal factors. Allergies, parasites, environmental causes, psychological events or a combination of multiple reasons can cause a dog to begin licking his paws.
Complications from infections, or other contributors, such as hypo-thyroidism or changes in brain chemistry, can cause more licking and chewing, which further damages the skin, spreads infection, and begins a downward spiral.
Usually, the more intelligent dogs are also the worst lickers. Their intelligence often causes them to react to
stress in ways very similar to humans. Genetically selected for thousands of years to be our companions and helpers, these dogs were bred to understand commands and perform duties such as herding, hunting, fishing, defending the home or going to war. In short, they were genetically designed to have jobs.
Without jobs, they feel useless and bored. Without something to do, they will think something up.
Compulsive or chronic dog paw licking usually follows this cycle:
1) A trigger starts the cycle.
2) The dog licks his paws as a reaction to the stress trigger.
3) The owner, either on his or her own or in consultation with a veterinarian, treats the symptoms with a wide variety of drugs including steroids, antibiotics, pain killers, anti-depressants; chewing prevention devices like Elizabethan collars, also known as lampshades or plastic cones; boots, bandages, even muzzles or face cages.
4) These attempts may not work, causing frustration for the owner.
5) The dog may sense the owner's frustration and misinterpret it for disappointment or disapproval.
6) Additionally, the dog doesn't understand why the owner would put a plastic cone on her head, or a muzzle, or become angry when the dog wakes up the exhausted, frustrated owner in the middle of the night with constant, loud, licking and chewing. The dog may think she is being punished but doesn't know why. Confused and frustrated, she may increase her licking.
7) Excessive licking and chewing can further damage the skin, often leading to a secondary infection, and the cycle continues. In severe cases, chronic paw chewing can lead to a granuloma, a ball-like collection of dead cells and tissue that can form inside a serious, infected wound.
8) The dog can become chemically addicted to the act of licking. This theory comes from the possibility that licking raises endorphin levels. The dog becomes addicted to these opiate-like chemicals produced by the brain in times of physical or emotional stress.
9) The problem becomes even more frustrating and expensive for the owner, more difficult to treat, and more itchy, painful, and confusing to the dog.
Fortunately, few dogs reach the most serious stages of compulsive licking. Usually, it's a minor problem and one or another treatment relieves the symptoms. The key is to find the cause and remove it. In cases of fleas, mites, and some allergies, this can easily be accomplished with a visit to the vet. If the cause cannot be identified, symptom treatment is the next best thing. This is often the case with allergies.
The next pages may help you to identify what is causing your dog to lick his or her paws, suggest prevention and symptom treatments, and list things to avoid. Every dog is unique and every case of paw licking is different. Just ignore the parts that don't apply to your dog. Hopefully, you'll find something that helps.

Ashley Young | Manchester United
Ashley Young doesn't help himself at times.
The Manchester United winger is not the most popular figure - either outside and inside Old Trafford - and yet more diving antics have done little to improve his tarnished reputation this season.
If his performances were better he'd probably be forgiven by the United faithful, but the England international has been poor so far this term.
David Moyes has handed him an opportunities - but Young has yet to take them.

This is fantastic. The block-based building game Minecraft has been used to recreate pretty much everything under the sun, from the U.S.S. Enterprise to Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water, but for the Apple fan, this is the best one yet: a complete recreation of Apple's Infinite Loop campus put together by Reddit user Sam Schwab for his Discrete Mathematics class.

Does gen x not work with the newest version of daz studio or is it just me?
Did you reset your downloads for GenX to see whether there is a newer version than the one that you have?
I like Bryce, DazStudio, Poser and Vue ... in alphabetical order. And I would probably like Carrara too, if I could find the time to become acquainted with it. Peace?
