Arsenal v Blackburn
Colin Kazim-Richards's late goal stunned Arsenal as Blackburn Rovers reached the FA Cup quarter-finals.
Arsenal dominated with Gervinho failing to hit the target from a good position and Jake Kean making several key saves.
Tomas Rosicky hit the bar after the break but the Championship side scored when Kazim-Richards followed in on Martin Olsson's shot.
Theo Walcott was denied late in the game as Arsenal's hopes of ending their eight-year trophy drought were dented.
"Blackburn just kept believing they could get something out of this game.
"The amount of pressure Arsenal were putting on them at the end was relentless. Grant Hanley and Scott Dann will not have played a better game this season, or even in their entire careers.
"An outstanding performance from Blackburn."
The Gunners could not find a way through Blackburn's defence as Michael Appleton's team defended for their lives at the end of the game. Mikel Arteta was another Arsenal player who shot off-target.
It means Arsene Wenger's team have only the Champions League left if they are to win silverware this season, having already been knocked out of the Capital One Cup by League Two side Bradford in December.
Appleton has already lost in the FA Cup this season, when in charge of Portsmouth, and was manager at Blackpool in the third round when they drew with Fulham before the 37-year-old left the club.
But he has overseen a transformation at Ewood Park during his short time at Rovers, who were relegated from the Premier League last season. This victory extended his side's unbeaten run to six games after suffering defeat by Charlton in his first match in charge on 19 January.
Blackburn are yet to concede in the FA Cup this season and have now reached the quarter-finals for the first time since 2007 and sit six points off the play-off places in the Championship.
Having made seven changes to the side which defeated Sunderland 1-0 last weekend, it was clear Wenger had one eye on Tuesday's Champions League tie against Bayern Munich.
But the Frenchman may live to regret waiting until 70 minutes had passed before bringing on substitutes Walcott, Jack Wilshere and Santi Cazorla as his side chased the game at 0-0.
Gervinho returned from an impressive Africa Cup of Nations tournament with the Ivory Coast to start his first Arsenal game since that penalty shoot-out loss to Bradford on 11 December.
Unfortunately, his biggest contribution in a first half dominated by the Gunners was to drag his shot wide when he was put through by Rosicky after 41 minutes.
For all their possession in an opening period where Arsenal had 12 corners, Wenger's team did not forge many openings. And when they did, the impressive Blackburn goalkeeper Kean saved headers from Abou Diaby and Thomas Vermaelen, who returned to the side after injury.
Kean also stopped Olivier Giroud's effort after the break with Jason Lowe's header Blackburn's best effort up until the hour mark.
Rovers brought on former Gunner David Bentley to try and make an impression, but it seemed to rouse the home supporters before Rosicky smacked a long-range shot against the bar.
That was his last meaningful action as Wenger brought on his trio of substitutes to try and avoid a replay in an already-congested month.
But Blackburn went ahead two minutes later. Wojciech Szczesny could only palm Olsson's angled shot away and Kazim-Richards's scuffed rebound went in off the post.
It was a stunning blow by the Rovers striker, a boyhood Arsenal fan.
Walcott injected some much needed urgency into the Gunners' play and his header from Wilshere's cross could not breach the Blackburn rearguard as Appleton's side held on for a famous victory.
Blackburn manager Michael Appleton: "Colin Kazim-Richards has been fantastic for the last five games and has played in a couple of different roles.
"I am delighted he got the reward for all of his work, it was not his greatest of strikes, but I think he was just trying not to welly it into Row Z and got the bit of luck he deserved.
"I had a brief stint at Blackpool when I ended up with a 1-1 draw at Fulham in the last round, then was lucky enough to win at Derby, but this is the icing at the top of the cake."

That is because for Arsenal now 4th spot is good enough. This attitude emanates from the board (£$£$) through to the manager ($£$£) and rubs off on the players (£$£$).

I think our players are not motivated to the same degree as ManU players. Even RVP who was superb for Arsenal last year, is even better this season. In most games Arsenal players seem lethargic.
I am not sure if it is Wenger who fails to motivate players but Arsenal does need to wake up and smell the coffee because we the fans are fed up with excuses.

If my info is correct, RVP was told to gain 4 kilos in muscle power by the ManU fitness experts . It just makes you wonder what the heck is going on at AFC not turning their boys into men. It would account for Arsenal's players physical acumen and injury record.

I am a big fan of Arsenal and Arsene Wenger. Despite loss, I think he is doing a great job. Without Arsene Wenger, you will probably see Arsenal at the bottom of the table.

It is shame for Wenger and for the club ......from this game I understand that Wenger never takes any lesson from his past mistakes and game. Still think that he is as good as 2004. For me I have doubt with his couching style.
It is the right time to leave the club not by force but with his well.
I am totally ashamed with a team performance.

It's an absolute disgrace Wenger did not prioritise this match.
The sooner he goes the better.
The sooner the Americans go the better.
It's time for the fans to make a stand and boycott the Emirates.

The chances of winning the CL is much much smaller than the F.A. cup and coming in 4th place, so not to play your strongest team against Blackburn when we would almost certainly have won was just not on.

I think I read that ex-Arsenal players who have left the club since their last trophy in 2005, have since amassed a total of 53 medals with their respective clubs. That says it all really and is a sad truth for the owners to reflect upon.

the way things are going though, what with the ManU tie last week and other Cupsets, they may just sneak a surprise.
Bayern are doing great in the League and cannot afford to give their rivals Dortmund a 3rd crown, CL not quite the priority for them , so, Roll onnn CL gameees!

Until the Americans leave our club, until we relieve Wenger of his duties we shall remain a 2 bit outfit competing under the banner of 'also rans'.
I am truly ashamed to be a gooner.

This shouldn't come as a surprise. Arsenal don't just treat the cup competitions as mickey mouse tournaments, they treat the PL like one too. The limit of their ambition is to finish fourth and qualify for a competition they have no hope of winning.The only thing Arsenal have succeeded at in the last 4 years is refining the art of embarrassing themselves.

Yea all walk, off to Chelsea, where you can see real players on mega bcks and legends get thrown away regardless to achivements or totts so you can see 1 and you can move futher backwards?

Hope you like blue :)

Er, what?
Just do what Benitez did just now. Solid defence, no problem. Offence, major problem for the opposition,,,

I dont support Arsenal and thankfully I dont. They have the most deluded fans who have talked so much and increased the expectations of what is a very poor squad when you actually look it.
If I was in charge, I would literally sell EVERYONE except szczęsny, wilshere, carzorla and ox. Keep podolski, walcott and vermaelen as squad players only.
Destroy and rebuild. Only solution to silverware
Comment number 538. Posted by SultanAon 17 Feb 2013 14:30
Yes. Suffice to say, I spoke to Arsenal fan friends, and they don't know what to say.
Right man for the job, not doing his job properly?? I'm not sure if he actually believes he stands a better prospect of taking home the CL than the FA cup?
Faith in youngsters, but this the only thing needed? And to those (whoever-fans) deriding **Benitez**, take a look over there--
Comment number 537. Posted by Philip Eldridgeon 17 Feb 2013 14:03
I wake up 'down under' to find that Wenger has left key players in attack and midfield out of the starting line-up, and that we have lost at home to another lower division side. He simply doesn't respect that grand old competition the English FA Cup. We had a real chance to win this one but zilch for the Champion's League. Blackburn goal came through a defence gap a mile wide.

my overall satisfaction is a bit low, but that's not the programmers fault, it's Nissan. they limit the parameters that can be adjusted a LOT. At the end of the day, the only noticeable improvement was throttle restriction. Nissan limits percent of throttle open below 60mpg, which makes stomping on it no fun. However, with that restriction released, I can now get 100% from dead stop...makes a much more exhilarating take off. On performance mode, I seemed to have lost some MPG, but that's the price. If you have ford, gm, chevy, this thing can do quite a bit more.

I initially set the unit for 34" tires, the diameter of my Toyo ATIIs in 295 60r20, the speedometer was actually a couple mph over. After some downward-tweaking for tire inflation level, I setting the unit to correct for 32.75 inch tires got my speedometer accurate to within less than 0.5mph error compared to Garmin GPS. Keep in mind that actual tire diameter is dependent on how many psi you are running, so getting things right on the money may take some tweaking.

Astros allow 1 hit, but walks hurt in 4-2 loss
HOUSTON Erik Bedard had allowed no hits but thrown too many pitches. Once he left, the Seattle Mariners finally got a hit - the only one they needed.
Michael Saunders got Seattle's only hit with a two-run double with two outs in the seventh inning off reliever Jose Cisnero to lift the Mariners to a 4-2 victory over the last-place Astros on Saturday night.
Bedard (3-7) pitched 6 1-3 innings of no-hit ball before he was replaced by Cisnero, who walked Mike Zunino with two outs before the double by Saunders put Seattle ahead 4-2.
The long fly ball sailed just out of reach of sprinting center fielder Brandon Barnes and landed at the top of Tal's Hill in straightaway center.
Bedard had thrown 109 pitches when he left the game. Houston manager Bo Porter gave him the option of staying in, but the 34-year-old was ready to go.
"I've had three shoulder surgeries," Bedard said. "I'm not going over 110 (pitches). I'd rather pitch a couple more years than face another batter."
The Mariners, who extended their season-high winning streak to five games, tied it in a wacky sixth inning by scoring two runs thanks to a combination of passed balls, walks and a sacrifice fly.
"I would say it was the strangest game I've been involved from Little League to the big leagues when you give up one hit and punch out 15 guys and end up on the losing side of it," Porter said. "But it's crystal clear how we ended up on the losing side of it. When you walk (six) guys and all four of their runs that score are via the walk, there's no defense for it."
Travis Blackley and Jose Veras each pitched a scoreless inning to complete the one-hitter.
It was the third time the Mariners had only one hit in a win. The last was a 1-0 victory over the Yankees on April 27, 2002.
It was their fewest hits of the season, but they were helped by drawing six walks.
Seattle starter Hisashi Iwakuma (9-4) allowed seven hits with two runs and seven strikeouts in seven innings to lower his ERA to 2.99. Tom Wilhelmsen pitched a scoreless ninth for his 21st save.
Bedard yielded three runs - one earned - walked five and struck out a season-high 10. He walked off the field expressionless and was greeted with a standing ovation when he was replaced by Cisnero.
He relied on fastballs between 90-92 mph and mixed in a few curveballs and changeups to keep the Mariners off-balance.
Bedard is the first Houston pitcher to go 6 1-3 hitless innings since Darryl Kile tossed a no-hitter against the Mets on Sept. 8, 1993.
Seattle manager Eric Wedge said it was the best he's ever seen Bedard, a former Mariner, pitch.
"Bedard threw a heck of a ballgame," Wedge said. "He had a great breaking ball going, a live fastball. He did everything good to keep us off-balance but we made him work. We were able to get him out of there at a reasonable time and try somebody else out."

Voting in the 2015 Municipal Elections for residents in Lagro and LaFontaine will have a slightly different feel this year.
The town boards in those two communities notified Wabash County Clerk Elaine Martin in November that the communities would no longer operate on a town convention format. Rather, the Wabash County Election Board will oversee the municipal elections for the next 12 years.
In the past, positions such as the town clerk-treasurer and the town board were selected at town conventions. This year, should races be formed, they will be decided in the May Primary Election or the November General Election, or both if warranted.

Last week, the Wabash Sheriff's Department released its yearly statistics for arrests in Wabash County. The statement reported a total of 80 drug arrests with 85 felony counts and 113 misdemeanor counts. In an interview, Wabash Police Department Drug Task Force Sergeant Matt Rebholz reported 80 arrests for 2014, all resulting in felony charges. It is unknown how many arrests were made through collaboration of the two departments.
For the Sheriff's Department, these statistics have increased since 2013, when the department made 61 drug arrests, resulting in 58 felonies and 54 misdemeanors. Sheriff Land said that these cases have been one of the department's main tasks, but he has no "good" answer for why there was an increase over the last year.

On Sunday Jan. 25, Ellen's Dress to Impress, in partnership with Marelli's and Bash Boutique, presents the Prom Style Show, a vendor showcase and fashion show where prom-goers and parents can reserve all of their prom preparations and dressing needs. Doors will open at 2 p.m. with the fashion show starting at 2:20 p.m.
Models will be wearing three different styles of Ellen's dresses and Marelli's corsages and boutonnieres. Two male models will escort the girls down the runway in the latest trends in men's prom attire. Leah Hines of Leah's Cakery & Confections will be providing assorted desserts for sampling. Attending patrons also have the chance to win a variety of door prizes that will assist with prom preparation and dressing.
"You've seen [fashion shows] in bigger cities, and I just think 'why not Wabash,'" said Lisa Downs, owner of Ellen's. "We want the girls to shop local, so why not show them what they can get local. It's just been fun to join with downtown businesses and kind of form that synergy. We keep preaching to all these kids, 'You don't have to leave town,' but we need to show them what's available."
Downs said she hopes to show the local high school girls the one-stop prom shopping opportunities in Wabash.

On Thursday, Jan. 15, Southwood Elementary School students hosted three special guests during a convocation about recycling. Dumpster Drummers, based out of Fort Wayne, brought its informative, musical, and often comical performance to the school gymnasium.
"Manchester College used to always come down for a week and do recycling classes, and then they lost their funding, so when I saw that, I thought, 'Well, we could have them come in," said Librarian Brenda Hegel, who coordinated the event. "Then I do recycling lessons the following week to reinforce what they did and go through what we recycle in Wabash through lessons, and I usually try to find some games that we can do."

StoryWhen I was looking at what was going to arrive in this week's box, the tomatoes ("Tə-may-toh") kinda jumped out at me. I've made stuffed peppers before. Why not stuffed tomatoes?! I've heard of other people doing it. I guess we just use our tomatoes up too quickly to get around to doing this. Tomatoes are really good for us: We're talking lycopene (a natural antioxidant) and it's thought to benefit the heart*! Do we really need an excuse to eat tomatoes though?! I often have leftover quinoa in the freezer. It's pronounced "keen-wah". Did you know that? I'd been calling it the wrong thing for years. Now I know. It's easy to make, higher in protein (about 14g/3.5oz.) than rice or pasta (no, I'm not saying don't eat rice and pasta), and is very versatile. It's not just a protein, but a complete protein and is high in dietary fiber**. Yay Quinoa!

Some Like it Hot! Workers who are required to work in hot conditions must be adequately prepared to deal with heat stress. Many jobs require working in hot environments, both outdoors and indoors. Working in the heat and doing heavy physical work can affect the body's cooling system. If the body is unable to cool itself, a worker can experience heat stress. If heat stress is not recognized and treated in the early stages, more serious and even fatal conditions may quickly develop. Human bodies naturally maintain temperatures between 36°C and 38°C. When the body temperature rises above this range, the body will react to get rid of the excess heat. However, if the body continues to gain heat faster than it can get rid of it, the body temperature increases and the person experiences heat stress. Health problems that result from heat stress are known as heat disorders. Heat disorders occur most often when heavy physical work is done in hot, humid environments and when the body consequently loses too much fluid and salt as sweat. Many variables contribute to heat stress. To prevent heat stress, workers and employers must be able to identify all sources of heat and understand how the body removes excess heat Sources of heat The body can gain heat in two ways: it can generate heat itself through work activity, and it can absorb heat from the environment. Both work activity and the environment are important sources of heat, and sometimes the work activity itself can be the main source of heat stress. Cases of heat stress have been reported when the air temperature was relatively low but the physical activity level of the work was very high. Heat from activity The amount of heat generated by the worker (internal heat) depends on the workload (the level of physical activity). The following table gives some examples of light, moderate, and heavy workload. Heat from the environment The amount of heat gained from the environment (external heat) depends on the surrounding air temperature, the amount of air movement, and any radiant heat. Some examples of radiant heat sources are heaters, boilers, fires, and sunlight. The addition of heat from radiant sources can cause overheating even when the air temperature is not high. Removal of heat from the body the body can usually get rid of excess heat, but how much heat is removed depends on several factors such as surrounding air temperatures, humidity, air flow, clothing, and personal risk factors. If one or more of these factors make it difficult for the body to get rid of excess heat, heat disorders may develop. The body has two main ways to get rid of excess heat: by increasing blood flow to the skin and by sweating. Increasing blood flow The bloodstream takes excess body heat to the surface of the body that is, to the skin. When the air is cooler than the skin, heat is transferred to the surrounding air. This process is known as simple heat exchange by convection. Blood flow increases as excess body heat increases. Increased blood flow to the skin often causes redness in the face or a flushed appearance. In hot weather, shaded areas can provide much cooler air than those in direct sun. Working or resting in shaded areas allows the body to get rid of excess heat by transferring it to the surrounding air. If a person is very hot, taking a cool shower can further speed cooling by transferring body heat to the cooler water. Sweating When the body gets hot, the brain tells the body to sweat. Sweating itself does not cool the body; the cooling effect occurs when sweat evaporates from the skin. At air temperatures over 35°C, when the air is hotter than the skin, sweating becomes the most effective way for the body to cool itself. The amount of sweat that evaporates determines the amount of cooling provided to the body. Therefore, any factor that affects sweating or the evaporation of sweat will also affect the body's ability to cool itself by sweating. Individual workers' ability to sweat can be reduced by factors such as not being properly acclimatized to a hot environment, having a skin condition that limits sweating, using a medication that limits sweating, and not drinking enough fluids. Evaporation of sweat is affected Personal risk factors Since people respond differently to heat, it is important to know the common risk factors that may increase the chance of a worker developing heat stress. The two factors that are most important in helping workers to handle heat are proper acclimatization and physical fitness. With careful planning, employers can minimize the risk of heat stress by considering the following factors. • Lack of acclimatization. Conditioning of the body to a hot working environment is known as acclimatization. A person who regularly works in a hot environment will be at a lower risk of developing heat disorders than a person who does not. • Poor physical fitness. Physically fit people are generally better able to cope with heat stress and less likely to develop heat disorders. Regular aerobic activity such as walking, running, cycling, and swimming can increase a person's level of physical fitness. Obesity, Excess fat provides increased insulation, which reduces heat loss. People with excess weight may also generate more heat during activity. • Increased age. Older workers (40 to 65 years of age) are generally less able to cope with heat. In older adults, heart function becomes less efficient, and sweating starts later and occurs at a slower rate. • Pre-existing medical conditions or treatments. Some common medical conditions and treatments can decrease a person's ability to cope with heat stress. For example, heart problems and treatments such as low-salt (low-sodium) diets weaken the body's ability to efficiently remove excess heat. Heart disease can also be aggravated by heat. Other conditions that may increase the risk of heat disorders include diabetes mellitus, cystic fibrosis, and hyperthyroidism. If there is any doubt whether an employee is medically able to work in a hot environment or to do heavy work, seek medical advice from an occupational health professional. • Short-term disorders and minor illnesses. Feverish illnesses, diarrhea, and vomiting can all cause excess loss of fluids, which may decrease a person's ability to cope with heat. Workers who feel unwell should not work in hot conditions until they feel well again. Sleep deprivation can also increase the risk of heat stress. • Chronic skin disorders. Rashes, dermatitis, healed burns, and other skin conditions that involve large skin surface areas may limit the body's ability to sweat properly. Skin problems can also worsen when exposed to heat. • Use of medication. Some medications that may cause problems when working in heat stress conditions include: Anticholinergic drugs Antihistamines Antipsychotic phenothiazines Beta blockers Calcium channel blockers Cyclic antidepressants Diuretics Lithium People who work in heat stress environments should discuss the potential side effects of their medications with their own physician. • Alcohol and drugs. Alcohol intake increases water loss, and can cause even acclimatized workers to become dehydrated. Some street drugs increase internal body heat and decrease the ability to lose heat. • Previous heat stroke. Workers who have previously suffered from heat stroke are at increased risk for recurrence. Heat cramps Heat cramps are painful muscle cramps caused by losing too much salt through sweating; they are usually the result of heavy exercise or physical work in a hot environment. Heat cramps usually occur in the muscles that have been used the most strenuously, such as those in the legs and abdomen. The cramps typically occur late in a workday or after the muscles have cooled (for example, during a shower after work). It is important to distinguish heat cramps from the more common cramps that occur during strenuous work. Common cramps will be cured with rest and massage. Heat cramps, in contrast, are cured only after the lost salt has been replaced. Signs and symptoms • Muscular pain or spasms • Excessive sweating Treatment • Move the worker to a cooler environment; if possible, lay the worker down, and remove or loosen tight-fitting clothing. • Cool the worker by sponging with cool water and fanning. Take care not to cool the worker too much. If the worker begins to shiver, stop cooling. • If the worker is fully alert and not nauseated, provide oral fluids. Juice, non-caffeinated soft drinks, commercially available oral rehydrating solutions (sport drinks), or a solution of salt water (1 teaspoon of salt in one-half litre of water) are best. Alcoholic and caffeinated beverages are not recommended. More importantly, continued work under conditions of heat stress can lead to heat exhaustion, a more serious disorder Heat exhaustion Heat exhaustion is caused by depletion of both water and salt, due to sweating during prolonged periods of exertion, when fluid replacement has not been sufficient to match losses. It is more serious than heat cramps, and the worker will have a number of other signs and symptoms. Signs and symptoms: • Shallow respiration • Increased respiratory rate • Weak rapid pulse • Cool, pale, clammy skin • Sweating • Weakness, fatigue, dizziness • Headache and nausea • Fainting • Muscle cramps Signs and symptoms are the same as mild shock. The presence of sweating is an important finding, because it is often the only way to differentiate heat exhaustion from the lifethreatening heat stroke. If untreated, heat exhaustion may progress to heat stroke. Workers suffering from heat exhaustion should be transported to medical aid. Treatment • Move the worker to a cooler environment; if possible, lay the worker down, and remove or loosen tight-fitting clothing. • Cool the worker by sponging with cool water and fanning. Take care not to cool the worker too much. If the worker begins to shiver, stop cooling. • If the worker is fully alert and not nauseated, provide oral fluids. Juice, non-caffeinated soft drinks, commercially available oral rehydrating solutions (sport drinks), or a solution of salt water (1 teaspoon of salt in one-half litre of water) are best. Alcoholic and caffeinated beverages are not recommended. Heat stroke Heat stroke occurs when the body's mechanisms for heat dissipation are overwhelmed and fail. Heat stroke is a life-threatening condition in which the body's core temperature rises above 41°C. At core body temperatures over 41°C sweating stops, and the body is unable to get rid of heat, causing body temperature to continue to rise. The person's mental functions may become disturbed. Without immediate first aid, heat stroke can result in loss of consciousness, permanent brain damage, and death. Heat stroke can come about relatively quickly or may be preceded by heat exhaustion . Signs and symptoms: • Hot, dry, flushed skin • Absence of sweating • Agitation, confusion • Decreased level of consciousness • Headache • Nausea and vomiting • Seizures • Increased respiratory rate • Irregular pulse rate • Shock • Cardiac arrest The presence of hot, dry, flushed skin without any evidence of sweating is one of the important findings that differentiate heat stroke from other heat-related illnesses. Heat stroke can occur quickly and without warning. People should not work alone or unsupervised in conditions that have the potential to cause heat stress illnesses. Employers must conduct a heat stress assessment where a worker is, or may be, exposed to environmental conditions that could cause heat disorders. If a worker is exposed to such conditions, employers must develop and implement a heat stress exposure plan. As part of this plan, employers, supervisors, and workers must have a basic understanding of how heat affects the body if they are to prevent heat stress. Employers must provide adequate training and education to all workers at risk for heat stress, their immediate co-workers, and their supervisors. Training should include the following information: • How heat stress develops • Personal risk factors • How to prevent heat stress • How to recognize symptoms • What a worker should do if he or she, or a co-worker, develops a heat disorder It is important for workers to recognize the signs and symptoms of the early stages of heat stress. If workers are able to remove themselves or co-workers from a hot environment in the early stages, more serious illness can be avoided. Workers should also be able to recognize the range of symptoms for different stages of heat stress in themselves and coworkers. However, since a decrease in alertness is one of the early symptoms, workers may not be able to recognize the development of heat stress in themselves. Engineering controls Engineering controls are the most effective and preferred means to reduce excessive heat exposure. The following are some examples of engineering controls. • Reduce worker activity through automation or mechanization. • Cover or insulate hot surfaces to reduce radiant heat. • Shield workers from radiant heat. • Provide air conditioning or increased ventilation to remove hot air. • Provide fans for spot cooling. (Caution: Where the temperature of the surrounding air is above 35°C, using fans may actually increase workers' risk of heat stress. • Reduce the humidity using air conditioning and dehumidifiers, or reduce the sources of moisture (for example, open water baths, drains, leaky steam valves). Administrative controls If engineering controls are not practicable — which is often the case when work is done outdoors during the summer months — administrative controls must be considered. The following are some common administrative controls used to reduce the risk of heat stress. Acclimatize workers The body will adapt to working in hot environments if it is given a chance to gradually get used to the new conditions. This process, known as acclimatization, allows the body to modify its own functions to better cope with heat stress and to remove excess heat more efficiently. Supervise workers Workers should not work alone in conditions where heat stress is possible. They should be closely supervised or work in pairs or groups to ensure that heat disorders are identified and treated as soon as possible. Supervisors need to ensure that there is adequate first aid coverage and must establish emergency procedures to deal with serious conditions such as heat exhaustion and heat stroke Drink water The body naturally sweats to cool itself. Sweating can use up a significant amount of fluid, which must be replaced continuously throughout the workday. If fluid is not regularly replaced, a worker will become dehydrated, increasing his or her risk for heat stress. It is important to drink water (without added salt) before as well as during and after work in a hot environment. As a starting point, workers should drink about two glasses (1⁄2 litre) of water before starting work in a hot environment and one glass every 20 minutes throughout the workday. In very hot environments or where sweating is profuse, even more water may be required Personal heat-protective clothing Some work environments may be so hot that even the most suitable and acclimatized workers will be able to work only for short periods of time or only with the use of personal temperature-controlled equipment. In extremely hot environments — for example, near kilns — specialized heat-protective clothing may be required. This type of protective clothing can also be used in moderately hot environments to allow longer work periods between breaks. A proper assessment of all heat sources is required to determine which, if any, specialized clothing would be effective in reducing heat stress. Specialized heat-protective clothing should be worn only by properly trained workers following the manufacturer's instructions. Heat-protective clothing may not provide a complete solution to the problem of heat stress, so precautions such as close supervision should be maintained until the effectiveness of the clothing is known.

Any other teams looking for a scrappy veteran lefty? Anybody at all? Please?Phils Get Help for the Pen
Phillies assistant general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. announced that the Phillies have acquired Francisco Rosario from the Toronto Blue Jays in return for "cash considerations". The Phillies have started the season 0-2 with both games being lost in extra innings after allowing the Braves to score on the bullpen late in regulation to tie the game, squandering a good start by Brett Myers and a great start by Cole Hamels.
Rosario pitched to a 6.65 ERA in 17 appearances with the Blue Jays last season, but as we mentioned last week, he was having a very good spring. Out of options, the Jays elected to trade him rather than cut someone else from the 25-man roster.
The Phillies are expected to make another roster move in order to create room on their 25-man roster for Rosario. Since Zack Segovia will be needed to start a game against the Marlins this weekend, it's likely Joe Bisenius or Clay Condrey will be the odd man out.

MGS 4 will not be the end of the franchise
Metal Gear Solid fans may have been fooled into thinking that the forthcoming instalment, Guns of the Patriots was to be the last in the series.
However, associate producer on the game Ryan Payton has confirmed that the MGS franchise will return in the future, but that it would be without Solid Snake.
He said:"I think there's been some misconceptions that this is the last 'Metal Gear. This is really just the last chapter of the saga of the Solid Snake story".
As for what the developers have in store though, no word as yet. But you can be sure that as soon as we hear anything, we'll update you.

It's been a while since we've posted anything Blake Griffin-related, but on Tuesday night he popped right back on our collective radar screen. Griffin's Los Angeles Clippers were playing the Chicago Bulls, and his point guard, Chris Paul served up a beauty of an alley-oop to him. On the play Paul drives towards the lane, faces a double-team, and as a result finds Griffin wide open under the basket. For some reason the Bulls thought it would be a good idea to leave Griffin alone five feet from the basket as one of the NBA's best passers drove into the lane. What could possibly go wrong? Griffin then goes all "Blake Griffin," grabbing the ball ridiculously high off the floor and throwing it down over Chicago's invisible defense. His head was easily at rim height and the dunk was characteristically gorgeous. My favorite part of this video is how Bulls forward Carlos Boozer looks so ridiculously lost as the pass from Paul floats over his head. As if he's saying, "wait, Blake Griffin is still on the floor?"

Google Drive spotted in presentation, includes desktop and mobile sync apps
Google has had cloud-storage rumors for a while now but it seems we're edging closer to seeing it unveiled. It was spotted at a Google-backed presentation, with an image of Google Drive sitting amongst a Google Docs section. Google Drive is expected to include desktop and mobile syncing apps to make it very, very useful as a cloud storage app rather than hide it within Docs as an extra. Google Drive is also reported to support folders and other utilities.
As for what platforms it'll support, this is unknown right now. Obviously Android would be their number one priority and iOS could be a second favorite. No ETA is rumored, although it's hinted to be "coming soon". This would make sense as Ice Cream Sandwich launches in the next two months, having built-in cloud storage for the mobile OS would be quite nice indeed.
Google Drive has been in development for as far back as 2007.
App of the Day: Google+ 188.8.131.526 (iOS)
Our App of the Day today is Google+ 18.104.22.1686 for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad with iOS 4.0 or later.

App of the Day: Facebook 3.5 (iOS)
Our App of the Day today is Facebook 3.5 for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad with iOS 3.0 or later.
Facebook pushed out a pretty major update to its iPhone app yesterday (yes, we know - still no native iPad app... boo!). The update was pushed out just after an update for Google+ was released. Strange timing or is it Facebook fighting back?
The new update is a good one with many changes such as the ability to tag friends and places in posts, the ability to share external links from a web view and much improved group and profile wall designs.
Facebook for iPhone makes it easy to stay connected and share information with friends. Use your iPhone to start a conversation with Facebook Chat, check your friends' latest photos and status updates, look up a phone number, or upload your own mobile photos to Facebook while on the go.

well I'd actualy call it Halloween Town but yeah.. I already posted this exact thing on another thread but nobody realy commented on it and I also already posted a thread on this subject but now iv'e thought of some ideas for Halloween town It would be in a third gate in DLR... more about that later
The entrance is like the woods from Nightmare Before Christmas.
Upon entering Halloween Town you find that it is indoors(like the little mermaid land in TDS) This is done in order to achieve full immersiveness(so it's always nightime). It looks very much like the movie and everything is done in that scetchy style(even the pavement)
some of the attractions are a musical AA show in Town hall
many walk threws and character greetings, well themed shops, possibly a parade like the one at the beggining of the movie, and the biggest attraction is an enhanced motion ride similar to Indiana Jones, you approach the treehouse from the movie
and the line wraps around the treehouse until you get to the "indoor" section were you board a bathtub like the one from the movie
as you start to move your tub's enhanced motion makes it feel like your tub is actually walking. your tub heads down threw the tree house and you see the Trick or treaters who are plotting against you to feed you to oogie boogie.
They look over at you and say "HEY YOU!" your tub runs away and you end up in a trap that they set up that heads you down the slide that takes you to oogies lair.
your tub bumps down the slide until you arrive in oogie's lair. an oogie boogie AA apears out of a dark corner and your tub stops. Oogie says" Iv'e been waiting for my lunch!" or something and he walks over to you but your tub retaliates and as you come away from oogie he say's "you can't escape!"
you then go threw various obstacles like the shooter guys and different traps.
(this one would be like the spears from Indy)
eventually you come back to the main lair and oogie is about to walk over to you but you hear Jack Skellington's voice and he appears somewere and somehow foils Oogies plan. So you end up back at the loading station
so this land/attraction would go in a new park in DLR wich's focus would be to transfer you to different worlds/universes (yeah that's the main focus of DL but this would be a bit more strict on theme)This new park would have just about as many lands as TDS and this particular land would be like the mermaid lagoon... it may be a thin theme to spread(especialy on one movie) but it would be small..just like mermaid lagoon
- tell me if you like it..

Spring 2012 - Key
What's happening this spring season? Several FSN publishers provide
their insider info on the key questions that matter to the real world of
college football. Scroll down for the links to all the spring questions.
Q: Besides the Blake "Belldozer" Bell, is there any hope for the running game – who's the main back going to be?
From Joey Helmer, http://oklahoma.scout.com/ … There is definitely some hope for the running game. In fact, that has been one of the biggest points of emphasis for the team this spring is establishing the ground attack. The offense has talked several times this spring about their disappointment with finishing in the middle pack of the Big 12 last year as far as yards per carry. So, you'll see an increased emphasis for that not just amongst the running backs but also with the big boys up front. Centers/offensive guards coach James Patton has stressed that with his group all spring, so one would have to say there's definitely hope for the running game. The main back at this point is Brennan Clay, but Roy Finch is having a good spring and Danzel Williams is really making some progress. Watch out for a major new wrinkle in the fall, too, with fullback Trey Millard. Several coaches have raved about him being the best player on the field so far this spring. He'll get an increased amount of touches in 2012.
How much has the attitude changed with Mike Stoops returning to run the D?
I think the biggest thing with Mike Stoops' return to the defense is just that it is a fresh face around the program. Linebackers coach Tim Kish, who came from Arizona with him, has played a huge part in bringing that freshness to the D as well. So, it's not necessarily a major attitude change but just some newness to the program that has perhaps inspired these players to showcase themselves and their ability to their new position coaches.
What's the biggest insider storyline from this spring that the average fan should know about?
It's the emergence of early enrollee wide receiver Trey Metoyer. He has caught everyone's eyes out there on the practice field with some of his athletic catches he's made. Wide receivers coach Jay Norvell and head coach Bob Stoops said it's certainly not out of the question that he could start next season. His addition and the fact he has reps in spring ball is huge for the Sooners.

water drains into truck
Anyone else experience this? After a rain i get in my truck and if i roll down driver side window and make a right turn, water pours in from the roof. WTF? besides not rolling down the window does anyone have any suggestions?:i_rolleyes:
I've experienced this. You really only have a few options other than modifying your roof shape:
- Make a turn or two before rolling down your windows to make sure the water rolls off.
- Use a long handled squeegee or rubber brush to push the water off before leaving.
- Park on an incline.
- Park in a garage.
This is an issue almost any vehicle is going to have. :4-dontknow:
I have vent visors on my '09, i always drive with my windows partially open, because i smoke
They make 2 styles,
In channel & stick on
the only thing with the stick ons is they make the blind spot at the A pillar, much larger. taking left turns, like winding roads & making left turns at inter section cross walks, can be troublesome
Problem solved.
Where did you buy those? They look good, not too bulky.
They are from ebay. I had them painted to match for $80. Should have done it myself though.
try looking a weather tech in channel vent visors.
i have visors as well, 99% reason for em is so i can leave the window open to smoke and keep dry plus i leave em open anyway to keep the cab aired out....for how much i smoke in my truck the smell is almost unnoticeable.
Roll the windows up, put it in the Auto 4x4 Setting for traction and gun it.. Then enjoy your drive afterwards..:smileup:

Jeter homers for 3,000th hit, goes 5 for 5 in win
NEW YORK This was so Derek Jeter.
Pressure mounting, time running out, all eyes on him at Yankee Stadium.
He delivered - and then some - on a defining day in his championship career.
Jeter homered deep into the left-field bleachers for his 3,000th career hit, making him the first New York Yankees player to reach the mark. He tied a career best by going 5 for 5. And he capped Saturday's show by singling home the go-ahead run in the eighth inning.
"Just one of those special days," Jeter said.
Mobbed by his pinstriped pals after the ball sailed into the seats, showered by ovations from his fans, Jeter stood alone in Yankees lore. A fitting crown for the captain, on a sunny afternoon when it seemed he could do anything he wanted in a 5-4 win over Tampa Bay.
Almost as if he saved his best swing of the season to counter his critics and doubters, to prove that he still was, indeed, Derek Jeter. How else to explain it? His first home run in the Bronx this year, for No. 3,000.
"You want to hit the ball hard," he said. "I didn't want to hit a slow roller to third base and have it be replayed forever."
"It's a number that's meant a lot in baseball," he said. "To be the only Yankee to do anything is special."
Oh, and for good measure: Jeter stole a base, too. For any hitter, a perfect game. Something out of "The Natural," really.
"I don't think you can script it any better," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "This is already movie-ready."
Added the Rays' Johnny Damon, a former teammate: "Hopefully he can act very well and hopefully he can play himself in his own movie, that's the type of day this was."
In fact, HBO will soon show a documentary about Jeter's pursuit.
"Nobody better in the clutch," Yankees star Jorge Posada chimed in. "He looks forward to that moment, and today was a perfect example."
With a swift swing of his shiny black bat, Jeter jolted himself into historic company, hitting a solo home run off All-Star ace David Price in the third inning. He became the 28th major leaguer to hit the mark and joined former teammate Wade Boggs as the only players to do it with a home run.
Jeter watched the ball fly as he left the batter's box and gave a big clap as he rounded first base. Rays first baseman Casey Kotchman was the first to salute Jeter, doffing his cap as Jeter passed by.
"Hitting a home run was the last thing I was thinking about," Jeter said. "I was pretty relieved."
By then, all of Jeter's teammates were already celebrating in the dugout, raising their arms almost in unison. A special time for No. 2 - his second hit of the game, and right at 2 p.m.
He looked every bit like a spry 27-year-old with those bright green eyes and an even brighter future, rather than a 37-year-old shortstop with his best days behind him.

We have been receiving complaints about slow transmissions and/or cutoffs in the last week or so for the dial plan L numbers in Western Washington, exclusive of Seattle proper. A problem was found at the telco today with the DS3 circuit services the communications server that provides service to these areas. There was a timing problem with the DS3 that resulted in a phenomena known as carrier slip. This plays hell with data transmission but doesn't noticably impact voice which makes it easy to miss. This has been corrected. If you experience any further trouble please let us know.

Helmet may have saved motorcyclist in lunchtime crunch
CORPUS CHRISTI - A helmet helped protect a 60-year-old motorcyclist at lunchtime Saturday when a pickup turned into him, knocking the man off his motorcycle, police said.
"Wearing a helmet may have saved this guy when this driver shrugged against him on the highway," said Lt. Israel Soza.
The back of the pickup grazed the rider as the driver changed lanes, while eastbound on South Padre Island Drive near Weber Road, according to the report.
The motorcyclist was taken to Christus Spohn Hospital Memorial with non-incapacitating injuries, Soza said.
Traffic was closed about 12:30 p.m. on several lanes for the safety of emergency responders picking up debris, Soza said.
The male driver of the pickup was cited for an unsafe lane change.

All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us!
Originally, I'm from Europe, but have lived and worked in DC for a think tank for a while. My job occupies a large part of my life, which is why my spare time is very important. As much as I like doing nothing sometimes, I do love learning new things. I have attended film, editing, and photography classes, and currently, I am attending an evening class that teaches website coding. Something always sparks my interest. Usually, I'm easy going and laid back. Things that make me happy are traveling, watching a movie or show, a nice walk, a glass of wine, hanging with friends, and visiting family.
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Political interests , Travel/Sightseeing
Other types of exercise, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
Middle of the Road
Anywhere Italy, Berlin, Leipzig, Prague, New York, Colorado, and for the future, I'd love to go to New Zealand.
Die Zeit, WashPost, Game of Thrones, Shameless, anything British, online tutorials, and chai. Fan of Tolkien (LotR), HP, Chaplin, Simpsons, Family Guy, photography, and filmmaking....
I am a big film buff and watch a fair share, but I love making/editing film even more. Love my family and friends and visit as often as possible. I have fun traveling and exploring, laughing and relaxing, cooking and entertaining, or just hanging!
Currently 'Magellan: Der Mann und seine Tat' (Stefan Zweig). Last read 'Winter of the World' (Ken Follett) and 'The Idea of America' (Gordon Wood). On my nightstand and waiting: 'Death at La Fenice' (Donna Leon) and 'Michelangelo' (Irving Stone).

My new one's hardware:
03:00.2 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 0a)
04:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6235 (rev 24)
I think most of the rest of the hardware was ok with drivers from windows update once I got an internet connection.
And about GPU drivers... For windows neither the intel driver from the intel website nor the amd driver from the amd website worked and I had to install the outdated enduro package from the notebook vendor. Maybe that has been resolved with catalyst 12.11, at least I could update to the 12.11 beta without an issue.
Windows drivers often don't "just work" in my experience. I have seen someone plug in some DRM dongle into an up to date windows 7 machine and the driver installer from windows update made it go into the bluescreen loop...
It has these problems even though it is the most used operating system in the whole world and you pay actual money for the support. I think in comparison linux does remarkably well on consumer hardware.
I think I will - as a secondary system - install Windows 8 rather than windows 7 prof over home premium in order to use more ram than 16 gb.

Thanks shutterbugRI. I actually emailed them earlier today and am waiting for a reply. Thanks again.
Thank you.
Thanks again for the reply BlueTrain84. If that's a pound, that's a great price for jumbo whole cashews. Do you know if they sell them at all Trader Joes? Which specific store do you buy them at? Thank you.
Thanks BlueTrain84. Do you know what size the package is that they sell for $6.99? Thank you.
Thank you Zackly. I am surprised to hear that those are oil roasted because I bought a pound of the oil roasted at American Nut and Chocolate and they were, well...oily. The planters never have any oil on them.
Thanks again for the replies. Any idea on the pricing/quantity at Russo's macadamianut? Thank you.
Thanks very much for the reply and the information Zackly. I edited my posting. When I think of dry roasted though, I think of the hard, crunchy peanuts that Planters sells. This could very well be what I am looking for though, I am not sure. I know that it is not the oil roasted for sure as I bought some and they were the wrong type. What I am after is the same style cashew as you get in a can of Planters whole cashews, halves or pieces (not the honey roasted obviously) but in a jumbo or giant size. Thanks again for all replies.
Does anyone know where I can buy some jumbo or giant salted cashews in the Boston area, preferably metro west or northern RI? I contacted both American Nut and Superior Nut and both of them only sell oil roasted cashews. I am looking for the style you get from Planters, but the jumbo or giant type. Thanks for the help.
Best Steak & Cheese in MetroWest?
Thanks for the replies. Yes I have tried Carls and it is good. I was hoping for some hidden gems in the area from Holliston and Ashland down to Bellingham or anywhere along 109.
Found a great 'slow' hot dog in Bellingham
Moved to route 140 in Mendon.
Best Steak & Cheese in MetroWest?
Where is the best steak and cheese sub in the MetroWest area? I am not a fan of the finely chopped junk they sell at most every pizza place around here. The best I have found so far is at Oliva's in Milford, but the hours make it so that I can almost never get there. All replies are appreciated.
Thanks again for the suggestions. We ended up just getting dessert at the restaurants as it seemed that most of the bakeries in the area were closed at that time.

Best Providence/Federal Hill BAKERY
Thanks again for the reply OOliver. After reading your response, I looked online and DeLuise definitely fits the bill, but there is one detail that I did not mention. We are going to dinner at 8 and would like to grab dessert afterwards. DeLuise, and I would imagine most bakeries, are going to be closed when we are done eating so I suppose this will limit our options.

Thanks for the reply shutterbugRI. Yes, by traditional I meant Italian pastries like Mike's. Scialo's, while it fits the mold, just had bland and flavorless pastries as compared to the quality of Mike's and Modern. Thanks again.

Wifey found some of this Werthers Popcorn in the Myrtle Beach area. This is caramel popcorn by the makers of the hard candies. Has anyone seen it around here? I know I can order it online, but if I can buy it locally that would be easier. Thanks in advance for all replies.

Thanks. I checked the international aisle but didn't see an Irish/English section at all. This was at the Millis store. The grocery manager was very helpful and said he would try to order them in for a future shipment.

Does anyone know where to buy Jammie Dodgers in the Boston area? I know that Wegmans in Northboro has them, but are they available anywhere in the Boston area or Woonsocket RI area? Thanks in advance for any help.

I am an Amazon prime member myself. When I looked the other day, the single carton sized portions of Flavacol, which is over 2 pounds and will literally last a family YEARS, is only available to purchase with Prime as an add-on product and not by itself.

Thanks for the replies. Yes, we use coconut oil in our popcorn machine and yes, it is readily available online. I am looking for a source to buy it from locally to avoid paying $8 to ship a $2 item.

Does anyone here know where Flavacol can be purchased in the Metro West or Boston area? There is a place in Lawrence but I never get up that way. For those that do not know, Flavacol is the ingredient that movie theaters add to their popcorn that gives it that flavor that you can never reproduce at home without it. Thanks.

I and other Georgia lawyers have received calls and emails about the local advertisement that a Savannah-area lawyer ran during the Super Bowl.
Although I cannot speak for all lawyers, I firmly believe most members of the State Bar of Georgia do not condone or approve of advertising that uses sensationalism and "over-the-top" graphics in an attempt to get business. Nonetheless, the right to free speech is guaranteed by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The U.S. Supreme Court has recognized that lawyer advertising is protected under the First Amendment. Therefore, the Bar's ability to control the content of ads is very limited.
Notwithstanding, I assure you that Georgia lawyers engage in a level of professionalism beyond the bare minimum. Most of us follow The Lawyers' Creed, an aspirational statement endorsed by the Supreme Court of Georgia, which states in part:
As a lawyer, I will aspire:
(b) To consider the effect of my conduct on the image of our systems of justice including the social effect of advertising methods. As a professional, I should ensure that any advertisement of my services:
(1) Is consistent with the dignity of the justice system and a learned profession.
The best lawyer advertising is designed to educate the public about the law or to help people in need find a lawyer. I encourage any member of the public to fully investigate the qualifications of a lawyer and not select a lawyer solely based upon the content of an advertisement.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Charles L. Ruffin is president of the State Bar of Georgia.
