DCTF Mascot Madness: Round of 16
2014-05-12 10:30:00
A tournament to decide, once and for all, Texas high school football's best mascot.
We're past one round of the tournament to decide, once and for all, the best mascot in Texas high school football...and who would've thought it would generate such a response?
The Dave Campbell's Texas Football Mascot Madness Tournament just finished the first round, so we're down to our final 16 mascots. The second half of the first round was as tight as it could be (and with more than 10,000 votes again). You can see the results in the bracket (which you can see here), but here's what happened:
Port Lavaca Calhoun Sand Crabs def. El Paso Del Valle Conquistadores, 78% to 22%
Mason Punchers def. Robstown Cotton Pickers, 50.1% to 49.9%
Rocksprings Angoras def. Garland Christian Swordsmen, 58% to 42%
Cameron Yoe Yoemen def. Frost Polar Bears, 56% to 44%
Roscoe Plowboys def. CC John Paul II Centurions, 81% to 19%
Itasca Wampus Cats def. Harlingen Military Academy Leathernecks, 68% to 32%
New Braunfels Unicorns def. Houston Sharpstown Apollos, 75% to 25%
Hamlin Pied Pipers def. Coleman Bluecats, 68% to 32%
Check out that Mason-Robstown score. There were more than 1,500 votes cast in that match, and it was separated by -- I'm not kidding -- seven votes. SEVEN VOTES! So yes, your vote really does matter.
Here's the schedule of voting from here on out:
Today: Round of 16
May 14: Round of 8
May 16: Round of 4
May 20: Final Round
May 23: Winner announced
Without further ado, let's continue voting. You can vote below on the eight second-round matchups in the DCTF Mascot Madness Tournament.
May the best mascot win!

West Jefferson Chevrolet plans to give back to the community once again with its second annual "Coats 4 Kids" project.
"We did this last year before I took over, and it was such a good event we decided to do it again," said Brian Minton, West Jefferson Chevrolet's general manager.
"After the success of last years event, all three elementary schools in Ashe County will participate in the project again," said Minton.
West Jefferson Chevrolet will give the school that collects enough coats, based on percentage of students, a $500 donation.
Minton said deciding a winner based on percentage of students will make it possible for smaller schools to win, which "levels the playing field and keeps everyone interested."
The project began on Nov. 5 and will continue until Jan. 2. According to Minton, West Jefferson Chevrolet has "already collected several coats" as of Wednesday.
A collection site has been established in West Jefferson Chevrolet's show room, where the bed of a truck has been transformed into a makeshift drop-off area.
Minton said the project is "a great chance for the community to help their favorite school while donating to a good cause."
For more information, call West Jefferson Chevrolet at 846-4636.

LuLulemon Athletica has taken its black yoga pants off the shelves because the sheer material reveals too much.
The Canadian company said that it took the pants off its store shelves and website over the weekend. That means there will be a shortage of its black Luon pants and crops for awhile.
The company says it is not sure why the pants are so sheer since they haven't changed the materials used but it is talking to its suppliers.
Lululemon Athletica Inc. says it is cutting its first-quarter revenue forecast as a result of the recall.
Its shares fell $3.90, or 5.9 percent, to $62 in after-hours trading on Monday.
Lululemon anticipates first-quarter revenue between $333 million and $343 million. Its prior guidance was for $350 million to $355 million. Analysts expect $352.1 million.

Tuscarawas News Detail
Kent State School of Library and Information Science Advances in U.S. News & World Report RankingsPosted Mar. 15, 2013
The School of Library and Information Science at Kent State University has moved up in the rankings of the nation's top schools of library and information studies, according to the latest edition (2014) of U.S. News & World Report's "Best Graduate Schools."
Kent State's School of Library and Information Science is now ranked overall at number 18, up from number 20. The school's Services for Children and Youth program now ranks in the top 10, up from number 13.
"This is wonderful news for Kent State," said Tomas Lipinski, J.D., LL.M., Ph.D., director of Kent State's School of Library and Information Science. "It proves that the school is headed in the right direction. It also testifies to the excellence of our faculty and staff, as well as the success of our alumni and students."
Lipinski became director of the School of Library and Information Science this past January.
U.S. News ranked 51 master's degree programs in library and information studies in the United States that are accredited by the American Library Association. The rankings are based solely on the results of a fall 2012 survey sent to the dean, program director and a senior faculty member in each program, asking them to choose top programs noted for excellence in each specialty area. The rankings will be featured in the "Best Graduate Schools 2014" edition, available on April 9.
Kent State's School of Library and Information Science has Ohio's only accredited Master of Library and Information Science degree program, offering courses in Kent, Columbus (State Library of Ohio) and through a fully online option.

Cesar Millan has a new show and is feeling like a top dog again—but two years ago he had given up on life.
An upcoming Nat Geo Wild documentary reveals that the Dog Whisperer star attempted suicide in 2010 following the death of his beloved pit bull, Daddy, and the breakup of his 16-year marriage.
"It was hard, because I wasn't expecting it," he says of the divorce from wife Ilusion, with whom he has two sons. "I went into a big depression. I lost a lot of weight. And I felt that I lost the most important thing, which was my family."
After surviving an overdose later that year, Millan says in the special, airing Nov. 25, that he eschewed medication and regained control of his life through exercise and work.
He also has a new love in his life, Jahira Dar, and is thinking about proposing—but he has to ask her parents first.
"I know they are going to say yes, but I like the whole Cinderella story," he says.
"I think my life has everything, you know, it has comedy has drama has action," Millan says. "I don't know about the ending yet. I'm just glad I can tell the story. Hopefully people get inspired, they get motivated. It doesn't matter where you come from. Really what I would like for people to get out of this is just to not lose hope, no matter what happens. You should never lose hope."

SOMERSET, Ky. — State Rep. Keith Hall (D-Phelps) traveled to Somerset Tuesday to talk about the benefits of the coal industry with more than 100 of seventh-graders at Meece Middle School, marking his second visit to the school in a little more than a year.
Hall was invited back to the school by social studies teacher Jenny Beasley after a similar discussion with her seventh-graders during the 2011-12 school year proved to be so successful.
"I want to thank Mrs. Beasley for giving me another opportunity to talk about all of the good things the coal industry provides," Hall, who is the fourth generation of his family to serve in the coal industry, said. "I could easily tell that she has done a great job of educating these students, too. They were very informed and open-minded."
Hall spoke to the students for nearly 90 minutes, with topics ranging from the different methods of coal mining and how sites are reclaimed to the value of projects funded by coal severance revenue. He also discussed his work in expanding Kentucky's coal exports, like India, and the number of new jobs he says its bringing back to the state.
As before with Hall's last meeting, and to educate students on both sides of the argument, a person who opposes some current coal-mining methods is scheduled to speak to the students later in the month.

Andrei Arlovski appeared recently on Sherdog Radio Networks Beatdown show ahead of his fight Saturday night with Mike Kyle at World Series of Fighting 5.
(Mike Kyle) gave some interview and he told that he was going to knock me f---ing out because I have a weak jaw, I have a glass chin," said Arlovski. "I dont [think] its impossible to prove to him that hes wrong.
Somebody asked me yesterday or two days ago [if Kyles remarks] pisses you off. Yeah, definitely, it pisses me off, but now Ive kind of came down. But before, like probably two or three years ago, I was so mad because in heavyweight division, it doesnt really matter how strong your chin, because of one punch, one right hard fast punch in the jaw and the fights over. But anyway, listen, first of all, I have proved that my chin is okay when I fought first Antonio Silva and he landed a few good right hands straight in my face and I survived. And I survived in my fight against Anthony Johnson. So I guess hes wrong. If Kyle has only one hope that I have a weak chin, hes absolutely wrong.
The talk about Arlovski's chin started when he was knocked out by Fedor Emelianenko in the first round, back in 2010. Next fight was another first round KO, to Brett Rogers, in 22 seconds. Then there was a decision loss to Bigfoot. and then Arlovski got knocked out by Sergei Kharitonov in the first round.
However, Arlovksi susequently won four straight (and one NC) before losing a decision to Anthony Johnson; Arlovksi didn't quit, despite suffering a broken jaw.
"When I saw Greg Jacksons face after the first round, yeah. I knew something was wrong," said Arlovski of the Johnson fight. "Obviously I tried to close my mouth and it didnt happen. I knew something was wrong with my jaw. I didnt know that I broke my jaw in two places, but yeah.
"Absolutely not," replied Arlovski on whether he thought of quitting. "I thought everything was going well except I cant close my mouth. I thought maybe right now Im going to have a good punch and Im going to knock him out. It didnt happen, but to be honest with you, second, third round, every punch Anthony would throw at my head or in my chest, I felt like electricity -- [like] somebody put electricity in my body. It was so f---ing painful.

Science Matters
Sparking Innovation to Meet Environmental and Human Health Challenges
EPA is invigorating its research efforts by tapping the collective vision and energy of its own scientists and engineers, as well as engaging others to join the discussion.
"Innovation needs to be the lifeblood of the progress we seek to make in protecting human health and the environment."
--Paul T. Anastas, EPA Assistant Administrator for Research and Development
How do you spark the kind of collective effort that facilitates collaboration across multiple disciplines, use new communication technologies to open the scientific process to creative problem-solving, and at the same time engage the collective expertise of EPA scientists, engineers, and their partners to bring new approaches to 40 years of work advancing environmental and human health science?
In a word: innovation.
"Innovation is not just a buzzword, it's a critical way of life for a whole lot of very successful organizations. And with the pace at which things are changing, innovation has become the driver for tremendous change in the way every organization does business," says Peter W. Preuss, PhD, the leader of EPA's Innovation Team for research. "EPA research has embraced innovation as of a way of meeting today's environmental and human health challenges."
The Innovation Team is developing a more systematic approach to innovation at EPA, including increased emphasis on integrated transdisciplinary research, and encouraging high-risk, high-reward research.
On January 31, 2011, EPA Assistant Administrator Dr. Paul Anastas announced 12 Pathfinder Awards, the first of several targeted innovation activities to support creative problem solving. Scientists and engineers across EPA were invited to submit proposals for research projects that exemplify innovative, collaborative approaches for advancing sustainable solutions.
A total of 117 proposals were submitted to the EPA Innovation Team, who enlisted three external panels of experts to review submissions. The proposals selected to advance as Pathfinder projects illustrate exactly the kind of diversity and creativity the Innovation Team was looking for when it called for the rapid development of a new kind of research proposal.
Lead investigators on the selected projects range from long-standing, senior EPA scientists to post-doctoral researchers; a number of the projects involve collaborations across EPA laboratories. Technologies that will be employed during the research phase of the projects range from hyperspectral imaging on the International Space Station to innovative biological treatment of drinking water contaminants. One project will explore the intentional design of nanomaterials to facilitate their eventual decomposition in the environment, while other projects will apply cutting-edge genomics to assessment of chemical mixtures and of bacteria in water distribution systems.
The results of the Pathfinder projects have the potential to dramatically change environmental protection. But they are only one set of EPA's efforts to incorporate innovation into its research. Another step the team is pursuing is to test innovation tools that better connect researchers within ORD and network ORD scientists with external stakeholders and partners. "We are targeting two initial approaches based on extensive discussions we've had with leaders across both government and private industry: improved collaboration and open source innovation," explains Preuss.
The Agency is experimenting with a web-based collaborative platform called IdeaScale that allows its scientists and engineers to engage in an open, interactive dialogue. Staff can share their ideas, then harness the input of their peers through on-line discussions and ranking tools to refine them.
EPA is also developing IdeaScale sites for the research programs, engaging both internal and external stakeholders to help prepare new research frameworks.
The first IdeaScale platforms currently open for participation are:
The Innovation Team's next significant activity will be to engage in a research and development tool called "Open Innovation." Open innovation taps the vast expertise that exists beyond the boundaries of a single organization. Congress recently passed legislation that authorizes the use of prizes and challenges across the Federal government to spur innovation, solve tough problems, and advance core missions through a process like open innovation.

my wife and i just recently lost our unborn son to the monster, preeclampsia. she was just 22 wks, almost 23, when one day she didnt feel good so i decided to check her blood pressure. at that time, it was around 160/110. a doctor who was on call told us dont worry its not preeclampsia that only happens in the 3rd trimester around 27-28 wks but told us to come into the hospital any how. he tested her urine and it was +3 protein. also, her blood pressure during the night spiked upward to 190/130. she then did a 24hr urine which reveal once again the +3 protein, within 2 days it went to over +5 protein. at this time, her doctor call in a perinatologist. he stated that her protein level was not the concern but the creatinine levels. however, he came back that evening and did an ultrasound and found that the umbilical cord had retrograde end diastolic flow due to the blood vessels in the placenta constricting due to the preeclampsia. he told us we had a decision to make to deliver connor and let him die or to risk my wife who's platelet levels had drop to 121 and liver enzymes were fluctuating. during the night however, my baby boy died while his loving mother protected him with her own life on the line. the next day i held him in my arms and did my best to make sure he knew that his daddy and mommy would always love him. he was beautiful and looked like my other son who survived this horrible disease. However, my son andrew is in himself a miracle because had he not been delivered preeclampsia would have taken him also in 24 hrs. we buried my precious son whom ill never hold but who ill love forever and will see again in heaven.
i now need to ask a question to the more experience people. my wife was told by her doctor to not check her blood pressure even though she had preeclampsia with my first son. (she changed doctors after my first son) also, at 15 wks, she had a scant amount of protein in her urine and he said that was ok and no need to worry. it is my belief that had i a graduating nurse been checking her blood pressure that we could have got her treated early and possibly saved our son. also, should the doctor have treated her for the scan amount of protein or even watched her more closely.

Who Has Engaged Actress Hayden Panettiere Dated? A Relationship Timeline
Although her character on Nashville, the troubled pop princess Juliette Barnes, has hit it and quit it with all the men who have passed through her man filter, Hayden Panettiere has a different approach to dating. In fact, the newly engaged (as of October 9, publicly) star rarely acknowledges the men in her life. But now that we know she's going to spend the rest of her life with love Wladimir Klitschko, let's take a little walk down memory lane, shall we?
The super sports fan is frequently associated with pro athletes, but she's had her share of actors, reality "personalities," and rumored flings too.
So, kick up your cowboy boots, spin your denim skirt around, and flip through this collection of the famously private Hayden's favorite "friends."

Children who have experienced a weather or man-made disaster often have similar reactions as adults. They may be afraid that the event will happen again or blame themselves. Even children who are well adjusted often find disasters or other traumatic events frightening. In many children, the signs of stress can be subtle even if the child is actually just as emotionally traumatized as the adults around him or her. The following information will help you understand when your child is stressed and what you can do to help.
Children don't always have the words or the willingness to express their emotions. Still, they may be fearful and retain disturbing memories for many years after a tornado, earthquake, or other disaster. Those kinds of natural disasters, along with something like a shooting or other "manmade" catastrophic events may leave a child feeling insecure and frightened without fully understanding what has happened. You may see the following signs of stress in your young child after a traumatic event:
As children grow older, they generally gain a more advanced understanding of the world around them. School-age children are better equipped to assess and understand disasters and what they've experienced following one. They are also more sophisticated in their responses. Even so, they are still subject to post-disaster stress that can manifest in a number of ways. If you notice these signs of stress in your older child following a disaster, don't ignore them:
Children benefit from having a strong sense of security and they take comfort in predictable routines, especially during times of crisis. When a disaster happens, your child needs you more than ever to provide that comfort and security, which can also help to lesson your child's stress at scary time. Here are some simple ways you can help reassure and rebuild confidence in your child following a disaster:
Get back to a normal routine as soon as possible. If your child's daily routine has been interrupted, let him or her know that this is only temporary.
Provide extra physical reassurance, especially for younger children. Hugging or sitting close to read a book or play a game can help restore a child's sense of safety.
Be available as much as you can to talk with and comfort your child. Initiate conversations with open-ended questions and pay close attention to their words, gestures, and expressions when they respond.
Be aware of your own reactions. Children may be unsettled by a parent's strong reaction to a traumatic event. Remember that children often pick up on non-verbal behavior. Your child needs you to be a presence of calm and control at such a stressful time. When discussing the event among other adults, watch what you say in the presence of children that could be disturbing to them.
Limit media exposure. It's generally best to shield young children from graphic details and pictures on the Internet, on TV, and in other media. You may not be able to shield older children and teenagers from disturbing words or pictures, but you can watch or read the media coverage with them, talking with them about what you see and offering reassurances.
Most of the stress children and teenagers experience after a disaster is normal. However, when it begins to interfere with their regular routines, relationships, or physical well-being, it may be time to seek help, as prolonged or abnormal stress can lead to more serious negative behaviors or emotional problems. Visit the resources below to help your child find the help he or she needs to cope with stress following a disaster.If you are especially concerned about your child's immediate emotional or physical well-being, don't "wait it out"-get help immediately from a professional such as your pediatrician, an adolescent medicine specialist, or a counselor.

Arizona Cardinals
Chicago Bears prepare to face 'really good' Arizona defense
Opponents tend to focus on one thing when it comes to the 2012 Arizona Cardinals.
The defense.
In preparing for their Sunday matchup at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, both Chicago Bears coach Lovie Smith and quarterback Jay Cutler have taken note of what the Cardinals do to stop opponents.
"Aggressive bunch that has good stats to back them up," Smith said of the Cardinals.
Arizona ranks 11th in total defense, but fourth in passing yards allowed. The Cardinals' 36 sacks are tied for seventh in football, and their 22 interceptions are tops in the league.
Defensive coordinator Ray Horton's group has held elite NFL quarterbacks like Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers and Matt Ryan to sub-par efforts, which is something Cutler has certainly taken notice of.
"Really good, really good," he said when asked what he's seen of Arizona. "Watching them on film, they throw a lot of different looks at you, they're not afraid to blitz you."
Cutler praised the Cardinals' secondary, linebackers and front four -- really the entire defense.
"So it's challenging, they're really good on third down and in the red zone and they force turnovers," he said. "All the things you want out of a defense."
Cutler comes into the game completing 60-percent of his passes with 17 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. He's been hit a lot, though, and fumbled the ball seven times. His top target is the six-foot-four Brandon Marshall, who has already caught 107 passes for 1,398 yards and 10 touchdowns.
Marshall will be working against Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson, who is quickly gaining a reputation for being able to shut down the NFL's top wideouts. He helped to hold Lions star Calvin Johnson to a 10-catch, 121-yard effort in a 38-10 Arizona win last Sunday.
Peterson has intercepted seven passes this season, and has picked off one in each of the last four games.
"Good player, physical, really good ball skills, runs well, breaks on the ball well, tackles well," Cutler said of Peterson. "Brandon's had some big matchups this year, and this is going to be another big one for him."
Perhaps Cutler's coach put it best when he talked about Peterson's combination of size and speed to go along with quickness and a willingness to tackle.
"There's not much he can't do," he said.

Man admits to trespassing on school groundsJuly 09,2013BENNINGTON A Benmont Avenue man will spend a year on probation after admitting Monday to being at the Southwest Vermont Career Development Center on May 8 in violation of a no trespass order.
Brandon T. Billings, 21, pleaded guilty on Monday in Bennington criminal court to a misdemeanor charge of unlawful trespass. Billings was sentenced by Judge Cortland Corsones to serve 45 to 60 days in jail, but all of that time was suspended.
In an affidavit, Deputy Roscoe Harrington of the Bennington County Sheriffs Department said he was notified that Billings was at the career development center, which shares a campus with Mount Anthony Union High School, by the high schools head of security.
Harrington said several students had reported that Billings was sitting on the steps outside the career development center.
Billings had been served with a court order on June 14, 2011, that said he was not to be at the career development center or the high school.
Harrington said when he checked the steps, Billings was not there but video surveillance footage showed Billings had been on school grounds.
According to an affidavit, Billings admitted on May 16 that he had been at the school but said he thought the court order had expired.MORE IN This Just InThe family of a Connecticut man who was killed in a car accident on Route 4 last Friday night is...

Two of Whitley's County's school systems will have board of trustee races for Election Day next week.
Whitko Community School Corporation filled its vacant spots during the primary election in May.
At Smith-Green schools, Tanya C. Young of rural Columbia City is an at-large candidate for the school board in District One, while Cathy Petrie of rural Albion vies for the at-large slot in District 3. Candidates for school boards are, by rule, listed as non-partisan. Both are unopposed.
Four seats are open on the Whitley County Consolidated Schools' Board of School trustees with nine candidates vying for four of the slots.
In Columbia City, incumbent Don Armstrong will join three challengers, Herschel Lee Aumsbaugh, Eric Horvath and Christopher Bechtold, in vying for the city's two board spots.
"The reason I'm running is that I'm very concerned," Aumsbaugh said. "Because I have nine grandchildren, I'm concerned that we keep the teacher quality up because education is very important to me.
"We're going to have a problem here in the next three or four years. How do we keep quality teachers if our tax base keeps going down? We're going to have to get creative."
Bechtold was also worried about diminished funding for schools by the state.
"With the likelihood that we're going to be facing a decrease in funding in the foreseeable future, we need to figure out how are we going to keep the educators we have as well as keeping classroom numbers low," Bechtold said. "We need to meet the needs of all of the students, and doing that with less and less funding is more of a challenge."
Armstrong pointed to works in progress and his coordination with other board members as part of his strength.
"I believe as a board member, I am part of a team," said Armstrong. "While there are many known and unknown issues that arise, perhaps our present known priorities are highest student achievement; quality staff and the support of the staff; Effective supportive evaluation and wise use of funds and our investment in the future.
Another incumbent, Timothy Bloom, will try to hold his seat against challenger Terry Smith.
"We need some common sense and conservative principles behind school board decisions and I hope to bring some of this to the decision-making process," Smith said.
Bloom pointed to changes in the economic climate as the backdrop for his platform.
"We have moved from a manufacturing economy to a knowledge-based economy, making education the most important factor in developing contributing citizens in the 21st Century," Bloom said.
For the spot on the board from Thorncreek Township, Brooks Langeloh faces challengers Richard Eckert and Leah Heaston.
"I believe school board is one of the most important elections with regards to our community, its future and the success of our students, businesses and residents," said Langeloh.
Heaston said she's willing to make tough decisions in the name of fiscal responsibility.
"I'm a believer in education, but I do understand the economic times and don't believe in school board trips out of state," she said. "The money should be used for education."
Editor's Note: The Post & Mail attempted to contact all candidates for public office in Whitley County for comments.

The realtime Google Maps mashups keep on coming! My California Traffic is a new mashup of realtime freeway data collected from inroad sensors and Google Maps. By choosing your region of California and a major freeway from the list you can find out how fast cars are traveling right now. This helps gage traffic situations and places to avoid. Regions are divided between: North Central, Bay Area, Central, Central Coast, South Central, Inland Empire, Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego. In each area all major freeways are displayed and you can choose the direction you want to view information for (north/south, east/west). Multi-colored arrows will tell you how fast traffic is presently moving in each section of the highway (Check "What's all this?" for speed ranges of each arrow). A few handy features include a "Link to this page" link (similar to Google Maps) and a "clear traffic" trigger to remove highways you've already selected. The "What's All This?" link is something I believe every mashup should have. It gives an overview and use of the map, the technical ingredients that go into the mashup and credits to all people and sites that have brought it all together. This is a very useful mashup that people can use in everyday California life! (Slight warning - page can be a bit slow to load at times)

iOS 6.0.1 reportedly in carrier testing, could make its way to users soon
Apple has reportedly started testing iOS 6.0.1 with carrier partners and the update could launch as early as next week as part of the iPad mini release. iOS 6.0.1 is said to contain bug fixes for various issues found in the original iOS 6 release, such as keyboard rendering glitches, the camera flash failing to go off, and a number other issues, from smaller annoyances to security problems. Jonathan S. Geller of the newly redesigned BGR reports:
In addition, the new software will improve Wi-Fi support, fix cellular data not working in some cases, add a consolidated cellular data switch for iTunes Match, fix a bug that allowed access to Passbook pass details from the lock screen, and also finally fix the bug that caused Exchange meetings to be unexpectedly cancelled for the entire calendar invite group.
Geller also says that Apple has only begun testing iOS 6.1 internally. It is not yet known when that update will be available, but it could be months before its public release. In previous years, the first minor update to the new iOS release came less than a month after launch. The first major post-release update, x.1, usually releases between two and three months after the initial release, though last year, iOS 5.1 did not appear until almost five months after iOS 5 was released.
If Geller is correct, and his carrier sources have provided accurate iOS update information in the past, it seems that iOS users will get at least a few fixes sooner rather than later.

Me too.... It's getting out of hand.... Causing a lot of problems for me and my Wife
What about the Bluetooth streaming issues? I recently installed a Kenwood all in one screen navigation system in my wife's car and the thing she loved the most was Bluetooth streaming with her iPhone 4. Everything was fine with iOS 5. Ever since the iOS 6 update that option is no longer usable. I know a lot of aftermarket radios that are experiencing the same issue. Hopefully apple fixes this problem with the new update.

Sized to hold today's mobile electronics, the main compartment opens with a side zipper to expose three pockets inside, including a padded one for a phone. A padded sleeve protects most 13-inch laptops or tablets. For carrying comfort, a molded back panel sheds moisture and allows a cooling airflow, and breathable, 3-D spacer mesh pads the shoulder straps to keep you cool. Exterior features include a reflective panel and lash point for attaching a light. Made of 8.4-oz 600-denier 100% recycled polyester with a slick 3.3-oz 200-denier polyester lining.

This patient support community is for discussions relating to back and neck problems, exercise, pain, sleeping, and physical therapy.
Neck pain that is experienced for more than two weeks to three months is typically considered chronic and may be the result of a specific neck condition, which should be explored with a spine specialist.
Depending on the cause of chronic neck pain, the symptoms experienced, the length of such symptoms, the pain involved, and the results of conservative treatments, different surgical procedures may eventually be recommended.
Surgery may become a more realistic option when the following neck pain causes are still prevalent after a concerted effort with nonsurgical treatments has been made.

A year in Google blogging
Saturday, December 30, 2006
The definition of "googol" is a number, and Google lives by numbers. So how else should we look back over the year but with numerical bits? Here goes: This post marks the 294th time this year you're reading a post from us -- that's nearly 100 more posts than in 2005. In the last 12 months, we unveiled 24 new products here. We wrote up 128 product upgrades, new features and how-to-use-it items. We told you about 7 acquisitions. We blogged about policies or issues 23 times, on subjects including Google in China, how Book Search works, click fraud, and Net Neutrality. Google.org yielded 7 posts, and 29 times we said various services are available in many countries and languages. Then there was a pug, Google's custom It's It, our compelling matchmaking service, and a nearly-cosmic Stardate.
More for the numerically inclined: 7.6 million unique visitors generated nearly 15 million pageviews this year. Aside from the U.S. and UK, readers come from India, Australia, France, Germany, Japan, Italy and the Netherlands. Which sites send us the most readers? The top non-Google referrers this year are the influential Digg.com and Slashdot.
But we didn't just hope that readers would come to us. We also launched company blogs in China, Japan, Italy, Brazil, Mexico, Poland, and Russia (and more are coming in 2007). We also launched AdSense-specific blogs for publishers who speak Dutch, German, Portuguese and Spanish. Product teams also started up quite a roster of new blogs covering everything from Custom Search Engines to Google Book Search to our Mac and Enterprise endeavors. If you want to keep current with nearly 40 corporate blogs we now publish, here's the Atom feed, the Google Reader share option, and the OPML file (English language blogs only).
Which posts caught your eye? Apart from the front page, these were among the most popular:
- Google Earth for Macs
- our (classic?) 2005 explanation of how "Googlebombing" works
- downloading public domain books
- Gmail open signup (from August 2005, but apparently word kept spreading)
- the Writely acquisition (now part of Google Docs & Spreadsheets)
Update: Clarified the fact that the number of posts increased by 100 over a year.

Rated 4.4 out of 5Â by 17 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by matryoshka87 Unique, cute, and cozy I love this jacket! I feel like the more I wear it the cozier and cuter it gets. At first I was a bit sad that the arms we too short and back was shortish, (plenty of room in shoulders and front though) although I'm a bit lanky (I'm thin too, so I got xs like I always wear), but I'd say just order a size up if you want the sleeves to fit to your wrists (I always push them up anyway). I'm giving it 5 stars because it is so adorable, soft, has a great silhouette, and exactly my style. It looks incredible with my fav jeans, grey v-neck, and statement necklace. And if the fit feels weird, wear it around the house for a bit before returning, it'll grow on you big time :) 10.15.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Hoopingmtnmama Beautiful, but too snug in shoulders... This jacket is gorgeous and extremely unique. The patterns are so beautiful and remind me of the Indian bedspreads I had in college :) It is a hefty price to pay for such a light jacket and the buttons aren't reinforced or backed with buttons, but the uniqueness makes up for it. I am a Medium in most everything FP, but the shoulders and upper arms in this jacket were too snug to be comfortable for me. I exchanged for a Large so I can layer. I do wish the pockets were sewn in between the jacket layers so it could be reversible! That would be perfection. 9.11.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by landcc Beautiful jacket! This is a beautiful jacket. Took recommendation of other reviewers and ordered up but it wasn't necessary for me The sleeves were not too tight so I could have ordered my regular size M instead of the L. Will keep as it still fits beautifully. The material, stitching and overall pattern is great. Against manufacturer's recommendation, I machine washed mine on delicate cycle and it turned out great. Dry cleaning is an expense I try to avoid. I am really pleased with my purchase. 3.12.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by starrr Nice fit and cozy! I'm 3'4" 125lbs and got a size Med. I like some room in my jackets for layering underneath. This jacket is very warm for how thin it feels. It is not too puffy looking. There are definitely a couple different versions of this jacket going around because what I received has the blue floral lining and is shorter than what is pictured in the catalogue (the blonde model with the bike). The catalogue picture shows an striped red lining and it clearly goes down to her mid-hip. The blue lined one I got is more of a waste high top of the hip fit. I like it though and am keeping it. Really adorable and tons of compliments. 1.18.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by ThePlantess Beautiful Detail I have been wanting this jacket forever and recently saw it in a FP store and couldn't say no! The detail is so incredible and the colors are a great combo! My only concern is to make sure you order up a size! I am usually an xs but I went with the small (and was even considering the medium!), it's a little tight and seems shorter then pictured! Other then that, flawless! 1.8.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by melaboo Very happy! Purchased this a size larger as reviews suggested...was so looking forward to it and it was to big and looked awful. I was really dissapointed until I received a medium and it fits absolutely perfect. It is TTS unless the sizing is all over the place. its a gorgeous jacket, bright and cheery. cant wait to wear it. 4.14.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by ColoradoGal To buy or not to buy...YES & MAYBE & YEAH... YES it's unique, lightweight, super soft, totally fun to layer, and looks AMAZING with blue jeans. & MAYBE... it's oddly narrow across the shoulders and the front chest, the darts are placed below the breasts, the cut is not very flattering, and the placket and the buttons should be reinforced. &YEAH... If you love it in the photos, it'll be a lot of fun to wear! The size Medium I bought measures as follows: Back of shoulders = 16 1/2", Length: 23, Bust (all around): 40" , Bottom Opening (all around): 38" , Sleeve Length: 24". NOTE: do not hand wash - the red dye will bleed DRY CLEAN ONLY. If you do want this- order from the Boulder, CO store 303-245-7775 3.27.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by fplaurentoronto So cute, though note awkward cut... This jacket is super cute, perfect for a light weight cover for spring/summer. Its well made, though the cut seems a little strange. The body is slightly roomy and quite slouchy if you don't have it done up. Also, the armpit is rather high, when I got the XS, I couldn't deal with the armpit seam sitting directly in my armpit.. almost squeezing it. Sizing up to a S was necessary, though now the body is a little gaping. Still such a sweet jacket, and so unique. Definitely worth the sale price. 3.27.2013

Comments about Stoneman:
I use my pair of Uggs Stoneman Chestnut almost everyday. They're very comfortable and I love them! The only problem is that the colour is changing over a very short time.
Comments about Stoneman:
I have to echo some previous comments. I'm 55 and thought Uggs were for women or younger. I took a dare from my wife to pay for them if I honestly didn't like them. I lost. I'm on my feet all day and brought a change of shoes so I could break them in. At the end of the day I realized I hadn't needed to change at all. These are not only my favorite boots but my favorite shoes as well. Only my flops are more comfortable but I won't see them again until around May where I'm from. Since it snows a great deal around here I put a light coat of mink oil on them to be safe. It sealed them up tight I haven't had even a bit of dampness, I can highly recommend these to you.
Comments about Stoneman:
Decided a midwesterner with a history of cold and snow needed to review this boot. After years of slipping on my daughter's Uggs to shovel snow or get the mail because they felt so darn good, she decided dad needed his own pair. So, Santa broght me a pair of Ugg Stoneman Boots this year! These are the only boots I have been able to wear inside and out. The sheepskin keeps you warm and cool at the same time. In the past I always had problems with insulated boots when worn inside due to feeling too warm...but not with these. And for folks who think Uggs are "girl boots", these look very manly. Amazing! Thumbs up to Ugg boots for Men! And...Kudos to Tom Brady, but Go Pack!
Comments about Stoneman:
Wearing them as i write this. I've always made fun of guys that wear Uggs! Then i saw freakin Tom Brady wearing these and they look more like cowboy boots than anything. Ya know every chick wears them religiously, so i thought there must be something to this, and i decided to make the plunge.. and BAM! You don't know what shoe comfort and warmth is til you wear these, period. I know i'm off work because I've got my Tom Bradys on and I've got a beer in my hand.
- A must have for winter
- Comfort at its finest

Best Uses
Comments about Stoneman:
Boots were never something that I found essential in my life. I mean yea, I had a pair as a kid but who didn't. To be honest I was one of those guys that made fun of Tom Braidy for his choice of brand. I mean us guys all know that UGG boots are only for women...right? I was so wrong. I decided to break down and buy a pair. Best decision of my life, well concerning the Boot anyway. I suffer from slight scoliosis, so I have back problems, but your boots have helped me greatly. I mean they are no cure but they work and feel amazing. Now I know the average Joe out there is saying comfort especially when it comes to men is reserved only for women. I say to them...try an UGG boot.

These boots are amazing! They are warm, waterproof to a point, and durable. The thicker Vibram soles make them very comfortable, and the removable sheepskin inner-soles make cleaning the inside easier.

Comments about Stoneman:
I work in the shoe department at a major department store. As someone who sells footwear for a living and has had a number of very expensive shoes and boots, I can honestly say these are the best purchase I've ever made. They are obviously very well constructed, and very comfortable. They keep your feet warm, but not too hot. The first day I wore them I had to keep looking down to make sure I actually had shoes on. That's how good they feel. Plus, they look really cool and I get lots of compliments when I wear them. I'm definitely hooked on UGGs from now on!
