Larry expands the search for Jack and Tony because they abducted Renee. Sean intercepts a phone call saying that Renee can be killed because they don't need her.
Buchanan and Chloe arrive at the construction site where Tony has sent them. They dig up Renee, who is passed out. Buchanan pumps her heart and injects her heart with adrenalin to start it. Renee breathes. They explain that they are working with Jack, outside of any agency to uncover Dubaku's breach of the U.S. government. They plan to use Matobo to get to Dubaku.
In the van, Jack asks Emerson why he hasn't told Tony how he got him out of CTU. Emerson says that he was helped by Christopher Henderson, who purposefully missed Tony's artery when he "killed" him. Henderson wanted Tony alive. Emerson says that Tony chose to stay with his team because he was angry about what the government did to Michelle.
When the van arrives at a hangar, Emerson grabs Jack from behind. Tony pulls his gun on Emerson, saying he doesn't want to kill the Matobos. Jack urges Tony to take the shot and he does so reluctantly. Tony rushes to Emerson's side to tend to his wounds. Emerson refuses to forgive him. He then dies.
Jack calls Buchanan and tells him to come. He informs the Matobos that he is really working to stop Dubaku, and he needs to deliver both of them to Dubaku to get inside.
Ethan advises President Taylor to prepare to pull back troops because they need Matobo's support, and he is now missing. She is firmly against this.
Dubaku orders Nichols to dump all of Emerson's crew. With no caving from the President, Dubaku wants to next target an airplane heading for Washington. He calls the White House and tells Taylor to look out the window. She sees two planes collide and fall to the ground. He threatens to harm more if she does not comply. The President meets with the Cabinet, who all agree that they need to withdraw their troops because they cannot protect Americans from Dubaku. Taylor does not give in. "We will not be blackmailed," she says sternly to the discordant Homeland Security chief Tim Woods, asking for his resignation.
Buchanan drives to the hangar. As Chloe fits Matobo with a transmitter, Jack tells Renee that she would have never believed him had he told her the truth earlier.
In Samantha's condo, Henry Taylor sits on the couch paralyzed. When Samantha arrives home, she is surprised to see him there. He is unable to speak. Gedge stabs her from behind, as Henry watches helplessly. Ethan calls Gedge, looking for Henry. He is furious that Gedge allowed Henry to get near her, and Ethan orders him to return him to the White House. Gedge hangs up and puts Henry's fingerprints on the knife used to kill Samantha.
Tony greets Nichols at the hangar, telling him that Jack and Emerson are dead because he wants to keep the payment for himself. Tony hands over the Matobos. As Nichols' men are about to shoot Tony, Jack takes them out. Tony sends Nichols off with the Matobos. Chloe is tracking them.
Gedge rigs a rope to make it look like Henry hung himself. Henry musters up whatever strength he can and fights him. The two fall over the loft balcony, and Henry lands on Gedge, who is killed.
Annoyed that President Taylor will not give up, Dubaku sets up the next target -- a chemical plant in Ohio that, with a leak, will kill almost 18,000 people.

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Frank Sinatra's first New Jersey driver's license has sold for $15,757 at auction.
The yellowed, text-only 1934 license was issued, typo and all, to Francis Sintra, 841 Garden Street, Hoboken, New Jersey.
The license was signed by the then-19-year-old a year before Sinatra got his first big break in the music industry.
His eyes, of course, are recorded as blue. His weight was 130 pounds.
Boston-based RR Auction did not disclose the buyer.
The deal also included a 1940 letter to the state Commissioner of Motor Vehicles from the lawyer of a man who'd been involved in a car crash with Sinatra, insisting Sinatra's driving privileges be revoked until he pays up.

So, if you've got a couch you just need to get rid of but are looking to get some more use out of it....well, this 'ible is for you.
The only things you'll need are
- utility knife
- sturdy needle (sail needle is best)
- strong thread (I used <1mm window blind cord)
- about 12'-14' of rope (this will be different for you depending on how wide and long the material from the couch is); I also recommend 3/8" nylon as it make a more comfortable handle
- oh...and an old couch.
Step 1: Cut the Back Out
Lay the rope on the long edge of the material and fold the edge over. Now take some pins and pin the flap to hold it down while you sew.
Step 2: Sew in the Rope
Like I said, sail needles are the best for this as they can take the strain of getting pushed through a classy piece of material like this and the triangular shaft make a large enough hole for the thread to be pulled through.

The Piusa River Ancient Valley landscape reserve was established to protect the valley through which the Piusa River flows and its Devonian-period sandstone outcrops. The reserve extends through three municipalities: Meremäe, Vastseliina and Orava. The valley is up to 35 m deep and 300 m wide in places. The water from the river has been used in the past in 11 mills, of which the Kelba, Tamme and Väike-Härma mills remain. The sights of greatest natural value on the reserve are its 12 sandstone outcrops, ranging from 6-44 m in height and 20-130 m long. The tallest are known as the Härma walls. To explore the reserve, we recommend taking the Piusa hiking trail, which is 15 km long.

|Double or Nothing
The Flame Keepers' Circle is the thirty sixth episode of Ben 10: Ultimate Alien and the fourth episode in the third season.
At a local carnival, a man is running a freak show, and a man trying to raise awareness for a unidentified organization accidentally spots the main attraction. Later that night, the owner of the freak show is doing maintenance on a tank when he is ambushed by men in bizarre getups, and is knocked out cold.
The leader of the group arrives and the man from earlier (the one that was raising awareness) unmasks himself, identifying the creature in the tank as Diagon, despite the fact that the creature was actually Vilgax in his true form.
The next morning, Julie convinced Ben and Kevin to come with her to a office building that's the headquarters of the Flame Keeper's Circle. The Flame-Keeper's Circle is a religious charity organization based around a benevolent alien named "Diagon".
The organization believes that human milestones were really alien technology brought by Diagon. Diagon promised to come back to Earth and solve all of the planet's problems. Unfortunately, not only does Ben not believe Conduit Edwards, the leader of the organization, but, as Julie puts it, he "laughed in his face", making her especially furious.
She is also angry because Ben is against the idea of using alien technology to help the planet (Kevin and Ben both disapproved, saying that the Plumbers have rules against that), though he can use the Ultimatrix. She expresses her anger about how Ben can turn into 63 aliens now, "yet believing in aliens is laughable?". Ben and Kevin then talk with Gwen at Burger Shack.
Ben states that the reason why he doesn't trust the leader, Conduit Edwards. The reason why is because he reminds him of a used car salesman, a con artist. While Kevin and Gwen investigate a stolen Plumber Ship, Ben sneaks back into the Flame Keepers' building as ChamAlien to see what is going on. Much to Ben's shock, he discovers that the living proof of Diagon's existence is Vilgax, whom by chance, resembles Diagon in his real form.
Vilgax explains that following his last appearance, he did not explode, but narrowly survived, albeit greatly weakened, and was washed ashore on a beach. He would have died trapped in his real form, had he not been found by a unidentified figure, and bought by the owner of the carnival's freak show. Despite the great indignity, it provided time and nourishment to recover.
More recently, he was freed by the Flame Keepers cult, believing him to be Diagon. Vilgax also reveals that they have stolen the Plumber ship for him, and by using it he'll reclaim his lost powers and empire. Ben teasingly retorts that in his absence Vilgax's empire fell apart.
This annoyed Vilgax, so he ordered guards to attack Ben. Discovering that the Followers have the ability to travel between dimensions, Ben tries to fight them as Big Chill. When he realized that he was failing, he uses Ultimate Big Chill to freeze all the soldiers.
At this point, Conduit Edwards arrives with Julie as prisoner, threatening to dump her in another dimension unless Ben surrenders. Ben returns to his normal form and demands Julie's release. Much to his shock, Ben discovers that Julie being Conduit Edwards' prisoner was a set up. Vilgax tries to turn Julie against Ben, but when Ben reveals that Diagon is actually Vilgax, Julie snaps to her senses.
At this point Kevin and Gwen arrive. Kevin reveals that since he was sent a recording of Ben's conversation with Vilgax, he destroyed the ship's pulse drive, permanently grounding it. Ben uses Echo Echo to shatter Vilgax's tank and defeat the guards. Ben promises that he'll stop Vilgax and the Flame Keepers some day soon.
Once the battle is over, Julie says that she still doesn't believe that alien technology should be kept away from people that can use it to help the world. Ben decides to discuss it over dinner with her. Meanwhile, Vilgax's tank is being repaired and he promises Conduit Edwards that after he's done with Earth, "you won't recognize it."

Naming and Translations
|A láng örzőinek köre
|The Flame Keepers' Circle
|Portuguese (Br)
|O Círculo dos Guardiões da Chama
|The Circle of Guardians of the Flame
|Spanish (Spain)
|El Círculo de la Llama Eterna
|The Circle of the Eternal Flame
- Diagon, a deity from H.P. Lovecraft's "Cthulhu Mythos", serves as the inspiration behind Diagon, the being worshiped by the Flame Keepers' Circle. Similarly, Vilgax was inspired by Cthulhu, another deity from the Mythos of the same name.
- The door of the chamber is which Vilgax was resembled the door of the Chamber of Secrets in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
- The beliefs of The Flame Keepers' Circle are very similar to that of the real world religion Scientology, which teaches that life on Earth was jump-started by aliens.
- Ben confirms he can transform into 63 aliens at this point. However, he has only been shown turning into 39 (not counting aliens accessed by his future self, crosstime selves, or Ultimates). However, every alien Ben has ever transformed into as of this episode (including the Ultimates and Omnitrix mutations) added up is 63.
- Julie encounters Vilgax for the first time, but believed him to be Diagon, until Ben tells her the truth. As a result, Vilgax is now aware of her existence and connection to Ben.
- Vilgax's empire is revealed to have fallen shortly after his defeat.
- The Flame Keepers' Circle and their soldiers are now the servants of Vilgax (who they believe to be Diagon).

Decent Tubes
I bought three of these for my wife about a month ago and so far we've only had issues with one. After patching a hole in it, a couple days later found out it had a slow leak and when we took the tube off, it was clearly warped and leaking where it was warped. Other than that, cheap tubes that keep air in your tire.

This is a guide to help you in article writing, especially here at Triond. Read on to find out more about this guide on writing articles.
Below are ten brief summaries, ten step by step guide on writing articles.
1. Research. This is basically the first step to begin with in searching for what you will write about. Research on your topic by utilizing the internet, academic databases and library. Jot down notes and make yourself an expert.
2. Analysis. Now that you have a well-researched topic, you can now begin to analyze the arguments or topics of what you're reading. Clearly define the claims, write out the reasons and evidences. Also, look out for strength and weaknesses of logic. Learning how to write begins by learning to analyze other articles written by others.
3. Brainstorming. In writing article, don't always mimic the idea of your source. Give insights of your own, with your own unique brilliance and style. Ask yourself some questions related to the topic and answer them with your original insights.
4. Thesis. After brainstorming, pick you best idea and focus on it. Write your entire essay around that chosen idea/s. The thesis is the main point, summed up in a concise sentence. This lets your readers know what you want them to know.
5. Outline. Before writing your paragraphs, use some short sentences to describe and introduce paragraphs. Bullet important points to describe what your paragraphs will contain.
6. Title and Introduction. This two are probably the most important elements in your article. Your title should be brief, concise, and catchy. The same goes for your introduction. It should set up the issue and lead into your thesis. Remember that, especially the title, these will make up the readers' minds about whether or not to read your articles by just glancing at the title alone.
7. Paragraph. After the title and introduction, it's time for writing the paragraphs. Your paragraphs should be focused on a single idea which supports your thesis. Remember the proper outline in writing paragraphs. Explain your ideas and/or arguments in the clearest, most sensible way possible. Write as if you're talking to a person in front of you.
8. Conclusion. Many beginners neglect the importance of ending an article properly. Remember that your article has to have a good conclusion to leave good impressions to your readers. Gracefully exit your article by making a quick wrap-up sentence, a brief summary, a memorable thought, a quotation, or interesting twist of logics, mentioning jokes, and many more.
9. MLA (Modern Language Association) Style. Your work must follow the correct MLA guidelines for citation. All borrowed ideas, arguments, quotations, sentences, etc in your article should have proper citations on the original author. You don't want to be accused of as a plagiariser.
10. Language. After you have finished writing your article, remember to polished everything from language, grammars, sentence flows, rhythms, emphasis, etc. As much as possible, do not leave "mispelled" words or "pourly wordedd phrazes"

COLUMBIA CITY — The thought of saying goodbye to those she has worked with for so long brings mixed emotions for Jackie Hake, evident in teary eyes.
For 18 years, Hake has been the executive director for The Woodlands, a county-wide center servicing the area's senior community.
"This has been my life," Hake said. "I've been here to witness some of the biggest successes of this organization. Although I am ready to retire, it's hard to say goodbye."
Officially Hake will retire at the end of the year, but she is already making plans with her family.
"We've got grandkids we are anxious to spend time with," said the mother of three. "I think we're going to do some traveling, too."
By "we" Hake means her and her husband of 41 years, Jerry.

Font size is crucial in blogging. If you don't have the right font size, you will lose out on your blog's appearance. Come up with a perfect balance; it shouldn't be so big that it overwhelms the page, and not so tiny that your viewers need to squint in order to see the text. Aim to get readers motivated to do what you'd like for them to do. Let your visitors know how to do these things through posts or videos. If you help someone get started with their own blog, they can use it to help promote yours.
When it comes to gaining traffic on your blog, you need to focus on providing interesting, informed and inspirational articles. Visitors will return to your blog again and again if they find high-quality, inspiring content every time they visit. The topics you write about should be those that are in demand. Strive to blog about information and ideas that will be relevant for the foreseeable future, as this will help to ensure that your blog keeps receiving a steady stream of traffic, even when you stop adding new posts. Don't let blogging take over your life. You will become burned out if you don't give yourself time away from your computer. Take a short walk, call a friend or take a quick break for a few minutes. This will give you the break you need to come back and create content with a fresh new perspective. As noted earlier, blogging can offer the illusion of being very easy to do initially. Having an interesting subject for your blog is a good first step. But don't forget that creating a popular blog means making wise decisions and planning out your course of action. This article's tips can assist you in making your dream blog. Post at regularly scheduled intervals. Targeting specific days for your posts will build expectation for your input. People will like your new structure and the new content you continually post. Keep topics diverse, relevant, and fresh, and don't repeat yourself. Building up a blog can be accomplished much faster if you use social media to your advantage. Not sharing your blog on social networking sites significantly reduces the accessibility and reach of your blog. Placing blog materials on Twitter and Facebook can be extremely helpful. Select an SEO friendly theme. This will boost your search engine rank and leave you with a website which is quick to load and easy to use. This is the era of instant gratification, and readers will go elsewhere if they have to wait for 1000 graphics and plug-ins to load. They will quickly resume their search for a fast loading blog without ever laying eyes on yours.
Pepper the Internet with your blog articles. This will help you to disturb your blog's content to a wider audience. Never put limits on your avenues to success. This one powerful move can help you access as many viewers as possible. Make use of every possible outlet for attention.
Before creating your blog, you need to figure out what your goals are. For instance, consider whether you are hoping to write your blog in order to share your expertise, establish your expertise or both. Perhaps your goal is to make money. Perhaps you have a lot of goals for yourself. You need to grasp your objectives, and proceed with your blog in a way that helps achieve them. Remember that blogging is a less formal mode of communication than traditional writing. Blogging is a format for entertainment and allows others to create a personal connection with the blogger. It's important you treat it like this. The object is to connect informally with your readers so that they return to read more of what you have to say. Finding topics you love and have a passion for is key in blogging. Your content will be more interesting to your readers, if it is about something that you care about. That will give readers a reason to form stronger bonds with you, and your blog will thrive! You need to focus on choosing unique keywords that will help your blog stand out from the crowd. Choosing the same keywords that are commonly used will make your article hard to find. Keep your keywords unique to get the search engines' attention.
Put up new posts on a regularly scheduled basis. Your readers will learn your schedule and be waiting for new content. Most readers enjoy this kind of structure and especially like knowing when new content will be available. Maintain a diversity with your writing to keep it interesting, and make sure you don't just rehash old content and become repetitive. Always be available to your readers. Connections are important in the online world, and this is especially true when you are writing a blog. Connecting to your readers means that you won't let them down. When you feel unmotivated to continue with blogging, you might find the push you need to keep going by reminding yourself that you won't be the only one who is disappointed.

Letters to the Editor: 11.25.12
CORPUS CHRISTI - Robert Jones
Letter to Congressman Farenthold
Congressman Farenthold,
I am hopeful that you and the Republican leadership can work with the President and Democratic leaders to solve our budget problems. I think most people realize that some taxes will be increased. No one wants that, but it is a fact of life. We must have a functioning government where both parties are working together for the good of the nation. The bitter quarreling of the last 2 years has only been hurtful for everyone. Our nation cannot remain strong if our leaders will not work together for the good of all Americans.
Keith Crowe
Sandwich deceptions
How many times have you gone to a sandwich or burger restaurant and seen large pictures of the various sandwiches all around the order counter? You look at all of these generous looking burgers and sandwiches to make your decision. When you received your order, did it ever resemble any of the large enticing pictures of the sandwich you ordered? I'm not talking about a sandwich the size of the posters, but did it have a meat patty, sliced delicatessen meats, or veggies in the same generous proportions as shown in the pictures on the walls or on television? No, what you received was a compressed wrapped sandwich to conceal the fact that it could not in any way resemble the thick, plump sandwich you ordered from the pictures. Next time you are in the mood for a sandwich, ask the counter attendant if they can make you a sandwich that looks like the one depicted in the pictures. When you don't get a sandwich resembling the picture, ask the manager if he/she sees anything wrong with false advertising, and ask for your money back.
Paula Kennedy
Corpus Christi looks trashy
Yes to Rudy Deleon's letter of 11/21/12 about the highway department mowing over the trash on Crosstown Expressway. That is nothing compared to Interstate 37 as you enter Corpus Christi from U.S. Highway 77. It looks as bad as anything trashed out I have ever seen. This is a holiday weekend and we must look just awful to visitors,. Nevertheless, to us taxpaying residents I want some of my big tax bill to be used for picking up trash. But how about the citizens who are trashing our city? Can the new "Dream Team" City Council please make this a priority? Otherwise, why even live here? I am so very discouraged to even leave my house lately because of all the trash scattered, literally, on every inch of this city. Brownsville is a pleasure to drive through — are they better than us? Please everyone who reads this (and you know who you are) — become responsible for your own trash and your surroundings. It is maddening to pay taxes like we do, and have an environment that looks worse than a third world country. Come on Corpus Christi, let's clean up our roadways and become the envy of every city in Texas!!!
Carroll D. Pitzer
Consolidation of November elections
I'm sure the Editorial Board had already heard gripes from the citizens concerning the effects of consolidation of national, state, and local elections into one process, and therefore fired a pre-emptive strike. The "Give thanks for Nueces County's consolidated November Election" editorial was exactly that. While the editorial covered most of the usual ills of any election (trouble with machines and voter ignorance of the election laws) the real issue was never touched, and that is the inevitable move toward polarization of our local elections into Republican and Democrat races totally controlled by national and state races. Those voters who voted straight tickets did their city a disservice by not expressing their choice of candidates. Also those voters who only came out to vote for the top of the ticket and voted for City Council candidates, probably didn't have a clue who they were voting for. Election consolidation does not help the local voters. It makes it easier for outsiders to control local politics. "Actually , anyone with a lick of sense and a bias toward problem-solving" didn't want consolidation. Despite all of this, I think we elected an outstanding mayor and City Council.

Buddhist Meditation Center Looks Like a Giant Barn With Many Windows in Rural Netherlands
Posted By Tafline Laylin On October 30, 2012 @ 5:26 pm In Architecture,carousel showcase,Gallery | No Comments
Corrugated steel is great for durability and cost and the mansard roof helps to create the expansive space, which comprises 26 beds in 13 rooms. There is also a meditation hall, library and a dining hall. Wood on either end of the center takes the edge off the steel, plus it was salvaged on site [5] from scaffolding left behind by the builders. Ugly joinery is disguised by a series of white-painted windows.
While most of the center has concrete floors, the meditation center has a bamboo floor [6] and tall glazed windows that open out to the verdant landscape. Bare limestone was used for the structural walls, while environmentally-certified MDF was used for the remaining walls. The project has been well received by the locals, according to the designers, who overheard cyclists saying "This new cowshed looks really good, but why does it have so many windows?"

This story has been reproduced from today's media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club.
Xherdan Shaqiri insists he wants to fight for his place at Bayern Munich amid talk of an exit - with Premier League clubs watching on.
talkSPORT recently revealed how Bayern were planning clear-the-air talks regarding the midfielder's situation at the Allianz.
Shaqiri moved to Munich from Basel in 2012 but has not commanded a regular first-team place and Manchester United and Liverpool were reportedly interested in his services.
Talks over his future are expected to be held in the coming weeks and Shaqiri says he does not want to leave the club.
However, the ex-Basel man says he will consider all options open to him.
"I never said I want to leave. I am very happy in Munich and I am not thinking about leaving," he said.
"Of course if a top club comes in I will evaluate the offer but that happens to every player."

Are You Ready For The Waiting To Exhale Sequel?
In case you didn't let out your heavy sigh sixteen years ago, author Terry McMillan announced via Twitter that the sequel to her 1995 smash hit, Waiting to Exhale, is all set and ready for the big screen.
Getting to Happy will reportedly, and hopefully, hit theaters next year, and both Loretta Divine and Angela Bassett have confirmed that they will be a part of the upcoming production. I wonder if they've gotten Lela Rochon and Whitney Houston to come back for round two?
The sequels plot is described as:
"…Savannah, Gloria, Bernadine, and Robin fifteen years later. Each is at her own midlife crossroads: Savannah has awakened to the fact that she's made too many concessions in her marriage, and decides to face life single again-at fifty-one. Bernadine has watched her megadivorce settlement dwindle, been swindled by her husband number two, and conned herself into thinking that a few pills will help distract her from her pain. Robin has an all-American case of shopaholism, while the big dream of her life-to wear a wedding dress- has gone unrealized. And for years, Gloria has taken happiness and security for granted. But being at the wrong place at the wrong time can change everything. All four are learning to heal past hurts and to reclaim their joy and their dreams; but they return to us full of spirit, sass, and faith in one another. They've exhaled: now they are learning to breathe."
Men, I would advise you to be on your best behavior for the next year or so. The first movie had women ready to pack his ish and set cars on fire, Angela Bassett style.
Can't wait…

The Sonoma Humane Society and Petaluma Animal Services are partnering to operate a day-use animal care facility in Healdsburg. As a resource for the community, the Healdsburg Center offers the following services:
- Cat and dog adoptions
- Acceptance of stray animals
- Redemption of lost animals
- Pet relinquishment (by appointment only)
Sonoma Humane Society's mission is to ensure that every animal receives protection, compassion, love and care. We are excited to be a part of the animal care community of Healdsburg.
Come out to visit soon!
Location: 14242 Bacchus Landing Way, Healdsburg 95448
Phone: (707) 280-9632
Hours: 9AM - 5PM, Monday - Saturday
The Sonoma Humane Society (SHS), along with Petaluma Animal Services Foundation (PASF), is here
to help – to ensure the safety of Healdsburg's animals. We provide services for stray and owner-
surrendered animals, and offer an adoption program for animals seeking new homes. With the
help of our volunteers and supporters, we're here to give hope to every animal.
Our day-use adoption center is open 6 days a week from 9 AM – 5PM, Monday through Saturday. Each
morning, adoptable animals travel to the Healdsburg Center and area ready to meet with potential
adopters. At the end of each day, those who are not adopted are transported back to the Sonoma
Humane Society facility in Santa Rosa– where their ongoing veterinary care and training will be
supported by our compassionate staff and volunteers.
All of our adoptable animals are listed here. We also have cats available for adoption at The Dog House. To see who's available in Healdsburg, look for the adoption "COME SEE ME IN HEALDSBURG!" note in the adoption profile.
Schedule of fees listed here.
Stray animals found in Healdsburg are brought to the Healdsburg Center daily. Those who are
not reclaimed by their owners each day are transported to the Sonoma Humane Society's Santa
Rosa location for ongoing care. Click here see a listing of found stray animals or call
280-9632 (Healdsburg) or 542-0882 (Santa Rosa). Schedule of fees listed here.
First, please consider finding your dog or cat another home instead of surrendering him/her to
a shelter. It will be less stressful for your pet, allows you to play a part in uniting him/her with
a new family, and makes additional space available for animals whose lives are immediately at
risk. Please utilize our Re-homing Packet and our free "Adoptions by Owner" website listings.
Owner Surrender Dogs: We accept owner surrendered dogs by appointment as space allows.

Here are some "Frequently Asked Questions" (FAQs) about the Sonoma Humane Society (SHS) and Petaluma Animal Services Foundation (PASF) partnership facility in Healdsburg and the services we'll be providing starting in early 2014.
What services will be available in Healdsburg?
In order to ensure a safe haven for animals throughout Sonoma County, SHS has partnered with PASF, to operate a day-use facility in Healdsburg. This new facility will serve as a resource for the community, and available services will include: cat and dog adoptions, acceptance of stray and owner-surrendered animals, and redemptions of lost animals.
The hours of operation for the day-use facility will be 9 am-5 pm Monday through Saturday. At night, the animals will be housed at the SHS Santa Rosa Center, 5345 Hwy 12 West in Santa Rosa.
What will become of the Healdsburg Animal Shelter building?
SHS and PASF do not have access to, or ownership of, the HAS building. HAS and the City of Healdsburg are allowing SHS and PASF to establish temporary services at this location in the form of a day-use facility so that we may begin providing services as soon as possible.
Will the Sonoma Humane Society and Petaluma Animal Services Foundation need donation support to help care for Healdsburg animals?
Yes. SHS is privately funded and donor support is critical to fulfilling our mission of ensuring that every animal receives protection, compassion, love and care. SHS receives no support from national organizations like HSUS or the ASPCA, so we rely on our local donors to help us find forever homes for all of the animals in our care. Donor support benefits the local community by improving the lives of shelter animals, and making healthy pets available for companionship, and improving the quality of life for pet owners within the community. Please consider becoming a supporting member, joining us at one of our fundraising events, or using our fundraising toolkit to host your own event to benefit the Healdsburg Center.
We also accept car donations and in-kind donations of goods and services. To learn more about our donation programs, visit sonomahumane.org or call Melissa Dobar at 707-542-0882, ext. 241.

Final Stats
CONWAY, Ark. – The Lamar University women's soccer team saw its heroic run to a Southland Conference Tournament berth come up just short Friday night as the Cardinals dropped a 1-0 decision to host Central Arkansas.
Lamar, which was unbeaten in its last four games (3-0-1) heading into Friday's contest, needed a win against the Bears to have any hope of heading to the postseason. Instead, the Cardinals will not be at the Southland tourney for the first time since 2009, ending their season with a 7-10-2 overall record, including a 4-6-2 mark in Southland play.
The Bears (8-9-2, 5-6-0) remained alive for a spot in the tournament heading into its season finale on Sunday against McNeese State.
Lamar goalkeeper Bailey Fontenot had a stellar game for Lamar, making nine saves, but had no chance on the only goal of the game, an own goal that deflected off the head of a Lamar defender and into the back of the net.
"That's just the way our season has gone," Lamar coach Orlando Cervantes said. "The breaks that all went our way last year, just didn't go our way this year."
The Cardinals had just two shots on goal against Central Arkansas, as Lamar was shut out for the seventh time this season. Lindsay Goff and Kaitlyn Keith shared the shutout.
"It's disappointing not to make the tournament," Cervantes said. "We're going to work hard in the offseason and work on our finishing during the spring. I'm already looking forward to it."

Tossa Roto is the second 70-Seas extended comic I ever made, I wrote and drew it over a twenty four hour period starting December 15 2007, making a page an hour.
I started with the idea of a bird that could translate between languages, and worked from there.
On the shore of a small volcanic jungle island Cpt. Dirk Angelous stands amidst what was once a camp site. The site has been demolished, corpses are strewn about.
Dirk: On come on.

The thing about that plan, it has two attractive attributes. One, again, it will move the needle on unemployment. And, two, I think it has the political plausibility, credibility, as the president himself just said, that in normal times these are programs that would garner bipartisan support. A payroll tax cut, an -- we've never failed to extend unemployment insurance, with the unemployment rate this high, repairing the nation's public schools. I mean, again, in normal political times, these would be widely embraced. But it...
AMANPOUR: And this is something you're pushing very hard, the repairing of the public schools?
BERNSTEIN: So -- exactly, FAST, fix America's schools today. And given -- and once the president articulates that plan, and if he is blocked by House Republicans, as he may well be, he then can go out to the nation and explain to people, in precise and clear language, who is standing between you and your jobs and your paychecks and your kids' career trajectories. And that's what I think we're looking at here.
AMANPOUR: Let me ask you, Carol, you're in the White House, covering the White House.
LEE: Sure.
AMANPOUR: Do they think that this speech is going to be received well? Will they be able to say anything that gets past Congress?
LEE: Well, I think that, first of all, this is a really important moment for the president. This is arguably one of the most important moments that he's had in his almost three years in office. And not only are a lot of people still hurting and the economy is not getting better for them, but I think there's a sense that the president is lacking a narrative.
I think if you try to sum up Barack Obama's presidency right now, it's a hard thing to do. And so what you're going to see him try and do -- and that's a tough thing to -- tough position to be in going into a re-election campaign in an economy like this.
And I think what you're going to see him set out to do in his speech and with his plan is -- is several things. First, he's going to do -- put forward a number of policies, some of which Jared mentioned, and -- to deal with the long-term unemployed, to try and put teachers back to work. You'll hear several things that we've heard before, some new.
And, secondly, he's going to have to lay out how he's going to pay for those things, because of political environment in Congress, and so you're going to hear him talk about deficit reduction.
And then, thirdly, you know, he really is -- he has to inspire confidence in Americans and business. There's this sense out there, mood is really pretty dark in the country. There's a sense out there that the recovery is not happening. You know, it's stalled and it's not happening. And so that cycle sort of feeds on itself, and businesses pull in, and consumers stop spending, and then that leads to more fear. And so he's got to address that cycle.
AMANPOUR: Let me ask Doug. Paul talked about how basically, in his opinion, we've been focusing on the wrong problem, that it's deficit instead of jobs. Now, certainly the Wall Street Journal this week, on Friday, talked about how so much of this cut, cut, cut doesn't just cut programs, it cuts people. So a lot of people who've been laid off in the -- you know, from their jobs is a result of this.
HOLTZ-EAKIN: It will shock you that Paul and I will continue to disagree about this.

Sam Frye and Harrison Davis admitted to a few nerves when they heard the news.
Citadel Spring GameWhen: Today, 1 p.m. Where: Johnson Hagood StadiumAdmission: FreeRadio: WQNT 1450-AM
Mike Sellers, The Citadel's All-American center, had resigned from the military school and would transfer to another program for his senior year.
That left Frye, a rising sophomore, as the likely starter for the Bulldogs' football team. And it meant Davis, who redshirted as a freshman last year, would move from tackle to center as Frye's competition.
Both players will be under pressure during today's 1 p.m. spring game at Johnson Hagood Stadium, and next season as the Bulldogs try to translate last year's 7-4 season into a run at a Southern Conference title and FCS playoff berth.
"I had a few butterflies, like anyone would have as a freshman," admits Frye, a 5-10, 270-pounder from Charlotte. "But I know I've got to step up. All I know is I will come out and give it my best."
Both players are used to living up to legacies. Frye's older brother, Chris, played offensive line for The Citadel from 1990-91. Another brother, Orry, started on the line at FCS power Appalachian State.
Davis, a, 6-2, 250-pounder from Marietta, Ga., is the son of former NFL lineman John Davis, who played in three Super Bowls with the Buffalo Bills.
Citadel coach Kevin Higgins is confident that, between the two of them, Frye and Davis can adequately replace Sellers, who is likely headed to South Carolina State or Bethune-Cookman to finish his career.
"It will be a battle between them," Higgins said. "Sam is further ahead right now, just because he's played the position and has experience. Harrison is a bigger body and will be a good player, but he's just behind from a reps standpoint. They are both great kids and competitors, so between them both we will have a good center."
Frye was Sellers' backup last year and said he learned a lot from the Fort Dorchester High School product about playing center in the triple-option.
"I started out a little wobbly," he said. "But Mike really helped me learn the offense. Now that we're into spring ball, I can really see his help."
Davis can turn to his father, who played every line position during his career at Georgia Tech and for eight years in the NFL.
"He plays a huge part as a mental coach for me," Harrison said. "If we're in a hotel room or something, we me might spend an hour going over basic steps. I can call him anytime, and he's great with that."
With Sellers gone and starting guard Keith Carter out rehabbing a torn Achilles tendon, Davis said the entire line has to step forward.
"Everybody has realized that with Mike gone, we need to have five leaders on the line instead of just Mike," he said.
• Citadel players held a draft Thursday to determine the Blue and White teams for the spring game. Quarterbacks Ben Dupree and Aaron Miller were assigned to different teams, as were defensive linemen Derek Douglas and Bay Amrhein. Starting offensive guard Jim Knowles was the first pick of the draft.
• Five Bulldogs will play for both teams — tight end Alex Glover, reserve QBs Dane Anderson and Trey White, kicker Thomas Warren and defensive back Walker Smith.

Charleston police are asking for the public's help in finding a man wanted for grabbing a woman's buttocks at a West Ashley gas station and striking her with his vehicle early this morning,
The incident occurred around 1 a.m. at the BP gas station at 644 Wantoot Boulevard, police said.
Police said the incident played out this way:
The man grabbed the buttocks of the victim. When she confronted him about his actions, he got defensive and upset.
The victim got on her bike and began to leave the area when the suspect drove away in his car and struck her, knocking her off of the bike. The victim reported hearing the engine accelerate before the car hit her.
The suspect then turned his vehicle around and fled the area towards Savannah Highway.
The suspect was described a light-skinned black man, 30 to 40 years old, and between 5 feet 8 inches and 6 feet tall. He was driving a green car, possibly a Saturn or Jetta, with tinted windows.

Republic at War is a total conversion modification for Star Wars Empire at War Forces of Corruption. The mod replaces the Empire with the Galactic Republic and the Rebel Alliance with the Confederacy. Republic at War focuses heavily on the theatrical films but also contains content from the Clone Wars cartoon series as well as the expanded universe. Players can re-enact various Clone War campaigns such as the Outer Rim Sieges. Players will have the choice to fight as either the CIS or the Republic and wage war for control of the galaxy. Realism is key and players will have unprecedented control over how and where they fight. Push forward with an entire clone legion such as the 501st or 212th or overwhelm your opponent with a seemingly endless number of B1 battledroids. The choice is yours. There are also a number of expansions planned that will add new (as well as polish existing) content.

Great game. the AI is brilliant, and how the The conquests were set up is amazing. The space cap is humongous, which makes for epic space battles. the land battles, same as any EaW mod, suck. hardcore. dnt even hope of winning regularly against the ai on a home planet, theyll have like 100+ units on it that will take forever to beat.
solid 10/10 very good game, space battles epic
Easy AI is set to medium/ hard though so be careful.
i have lowered the score from the original 10/10 because of the fact that it took 2 years to get a damn path out, that was required 2 years ago!

For 3 years people've been waiting for this, for three years they were adicted to moddb and republic at war. Every day in those years they've got tens of pictures in which they've seen EVERYTHING from the mod. And that was a big mistake... Because of the fact that they saw every unit evey hero eveyplanet, particle, ships ecc, when they finally got the mod and played it, they had a feeling like they had seen this all before. And because of that mod bored me in about 3 days, because too many things were shown in pics, and there were no surprises in a mod gameplay.
That's just my opinion.

While cyclocross season has already started in some areas of the country, and the pros have been mixing it up in Las Vegas and Gloucester and at other venues, a lot of athletes hang on to their road and mountain bike seasons until a significant change in the weather makes it clear that 'cross season is on the immediate horizon. Well folks, that time has come, so break out the knobbies!
Coaching Special: Many of you have been reading articles here for a long time. Now it's time to try coaching, and we'll make it easy: For a limited time, sign up for any new 12month CTS Coaching Package and the first month is FREE!
Cyclocross is a wonderful way for road cyclists and mountain bikers to extend their competitive seasons and get a head-start on training for next season. The intensity of cyclocross racing provides a training stimulus that's very difficult to replicate with standard interval training during the fall and winter, especially as the temperatures fall and athletes turn primarily to indoor cycling.
If you're making the transition from your road or mountain bike season to cyclocross, it's a good idea to take a break of about two weeks between your seasons. During this time, you want to retain the frequency of your rides (if you normally ride 4-5 times a week you should continue to ride 4-5 times a week), but you want to back off the intensity and pretty much entirely cut out structured workouts. Just ride your bike at a recovery or endurance pace for two weeks; you'll feel a lot fresher and you'll appreciate the mental break as well.
You don't want this recovery period to last much more than two weeks, however, because you don't want to lose too much of the high-end fitness you've developed through the road or mountain bike season. In a two-week period, you might lose a tiny bit of your high-end (the power for repeated maximal efforts), but your aerobic conditioning and power at lactate threshold will remain largely unchanged. And fortunately, any losses in power at VO2 max will come back quickly as you transition into 'cross-specific workouts.
Spring Classics Experience: One of our new Bucket List Events for 2015, this is your opportunity to ride the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix Sportives with me, view both races with VIP Access, visit the Tour of Flanders Museum, and spend a week riding additional iconic Spring Classic routes! Reserve your spot quickly, there will be a very small group!
Once you get back into full-strength training, there are a few important things you need to keep in mind:
- Cross Practice: Cyclocross is a very technique-centric discipline, perhaps the most technique-driven of all cycling disciplines. It's absolutely essential that you get on your cross bike for a skills practice or training race once per week. Fortunately, more and more communities have a cyclocross training race in the middle of the week, and you should be able to find one by consulting your local bike shop or cycling club.
- Race-pace intervals: Outside of a 'cross practice, it's important to incorporate race-pace interval workouts into your training program. One of the best workouts for this is a PowerInterval that ends with a cyclocross run-up. Like standard PowerIntervals, these start with a 15-second ramp up to the maximum power output or intensity you can sustain for a full minute. But unlike standard PowerIntervals, you want to ride into the base of a steep hill or staircase at about the 45 second mark. Dismount, shoulder the bike, and sprint up the hill or staircase. Remount the bike and accelerate back to race pace (about 10-15 pedal strokes). After each interval, spin easy back to your starting point and immediately start the next interval. Aim to complete 6-10 of these intervals in a continuous set.
- Bank away endurance miles early: As the cyclocross season progresses, the weather will get worse and the scope of your training will become more race specific (short workouts, lots of high-intensity intervals). While the weather is still relatively good, use one of your weekend days for long endurance rides. Think of it as an investment in your aerobic conditioning that will reward you in November and December. When it's colder and the days are shorter, you'll have fewer opportunities and less motivation to go out for 3+ hour rides, so bank away that endurance training now.
Committing to your local cyclocross series is one of the best ways to prepare for a strong road or mountain bike season next year. Athletes who race cyclocross retain or improve their aerobic conditioning, power at lactate threshold, and power at VO2 max while athletes who focus solely on long endurance rides through the fall tend to lose at least 10% of their power at threshold and even more of their high-end power. Athletes who back away from training altogether can lose 20% of their power at threshold between October and January, and the lack of training decimates their high-end fitness. So if you want to see significant performance gains next season, it's crucial that you don't let the improvements you made this year slip away due to inactivity or a lack of focus.

Guest columnist: To reduce violence, work toward wholeness
The events in Newtown, Conn., on Dec. 14 have struck me deeply. I work as a psychiatrist at Durham Center Access, where members of our community come for treatment of mental illness and/or substance abuse. Most people come to our facility voluntarily, but on a daily basis Durham Police bring people to our facility for evaluation because of risks to harm self or to harm others.
Some have been saying that the person in Connecticut who murdered these adults and children may have had a mental illness. Pundits and experts bringing this up seem to have an agenda: either to say that the reason this crime happened is because of failure of the mental health system; or because they believe the problem was an evil person who was beyond help or redemption.
I have no idea if the person who murdered these adults and children had a mental illness. If he did, it is a tragedy he did not receive treatment. However, studies have shown that generally mental illness alone does not cause violence. In fact, the speculation and wish to find a "defect" in the individual who committed these crimes distracts us from issues in our society that contribute to violence.
The fact is, as a society we often see individuals as a "problem" but don't acknowledge that our society itself has problems (just some of which being racism, sexism, injustice, isolation, materialism, commercialism, and access to rapid-firing, powerful firearms). To some degree all of us are all participating in, and constantly re-inventing, a society where some unfortunate individuals act out their feelings violently and tragically.
Our participation in our imperfect society does not excuse the violent behavior of some individual members, but only makes a tragedy of missed opportunities and disconnection more profound. We are all connected, even the least or most troubled, one to the other.
We cannot prevent or heal violence by standing by, waiting for violence to happen, and then asking the criminal justice system to deal with the situation. We make a similar mistake if we expect the mental health system to prevent violence in our community.
Instead, together we can best prevent violence by working toward wholeness -- a just, more connected community. This is the work that will best reduce the risk of violence in our community, and help victims of violence heal.
The Religious Coalition for a Non-Violent Durham is a nonprofit organization that is actively working through organized outreach to prevent violence, and has events and vigils to support victims and heal the effects of violence in our community. I would urge anyone interested/moved by the events in Connecticut to attend one of its events or donate to this organization.
Another local resource is the Durham Crisis Intervention Team, a grant-funded collaboration between police and mental health professionals. Durham CIT members are trained to work together to find and reach out to individuals, both those with mental illness and those with other troubles, at risk for violence. They prevent violence by connecting at-risk individuals to mental health and other resources in the community.
Working in coordination with other local agencies, they have helped connect at-risk individuals to help that peacefully resolved many situations which otherwise might have resulted in violence.
Unfortunately, this program was grant funded, and the grant will end in January 2013.
I am deeply mourning this terrible tragedy and my thoughts and prayers are with the victims in Connecticut and their families. I am resolved to work toward wholeness in our community to reduce violence through work and service. I hope you can join me in support of the organizations above.
Logan Graddy, M.D., is staff psychiatrist for Durham Center Access and a forensic psychiatrist in private practice.

Controversy seems to follow Heather Wilson wherever she goes.
Only a couple of months ago, the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology announced that the former New Mexico congresswoman had been selected as its new president.
Then, just a couple of weeks ago, the Rapid City Journal in South Dakota filed this report: "Former U.S. Rep. Heather Wilson, set to begin work (at the school) on Monday, received nearly $450,000 in questionable payments from four federally funded nuclear labs after she left office, the Energy Department's inspector general said in a new report." The newspaper further reported that "South Dakota School of Mines and Technology officials declined Tuesday (June 11) to comment on the controversy swirling."
That same day, however, the Albuquerque Journal found an administrator with the school's board of regents who tried to calm matters by saying, "Unless some other revelation takes place, I think we're OK."
Turns out the private firms responsible for managing the four United States labs had contracted with Wilson and paid her almost a half-million dollars without receiving documentation from the ex-congresswoman attesting that she had indeed earned those big bucks.
