The new iMacs are starting to arrive, and the smaller, 21.5-inch model is already in the hands of consumers. Much to some purchasers' dismay, the more modestly-sized iMac is nearly impossible to upgrade without some serious disassembly. As noted in the iFixit teardown report of the 21.5-inch model, the only way to swap out your RAM or hard drive for something better is to unglue the display assembly from the main chassis. Nothing quite says "voided warranty" like dismantling the whole front of your brand new iMac.
Fortunately, things aren't so bad for those planning on buying the larger version of the new desktop Mac. The 27-inch variant has a handy port on the back that will allow you to swap out your RAM quite easily, without any need for tools at all. You simply remove the power cord, press the button that's located above the plug, and a little hatch pops open. Inside the hatch is the RAM slots, and you're clear to swap memory sticks around to your heart's content.
A member of Apple's support forums has posted the following photo, showing the handy port on the iMac's rear panel:
It's a bit of a mixed bag for iMac buyers then; Apple is up to their usual tricks when it comes to the smaller model, but they've made some concessions to user serviceability on the larger one. It's further incentive to hold out for the 27-inch version (which won't be available for another 3-4 weeks, and costs $500 more that its smaller sibling), or further incentive to buy a computer from a company that offers user serviceability across all their desktops (see: virtually every computer manufacturer in the world), depending on how you look at it. Your call, really.

One of Faulkner's most admired and accessible novels, Light in August reveals the great American author at the height of his powers. Lena Grove's resolute search for the father of her unborn child begets a rich, poignant, and ultimately hopeful story of perseverance in the face of mortality. It also acquaints us with several of Faulkner's most unforgettable characters, including the Reverend Gail Hightower, who is plagued by visions of Confederate horsemen, and Joe Christmas, a ragged, itinerant soul obsessed with his mixed-race ancestry.Powerfully entwining these characters' stories,

Joe Christmas does not know whether he is black or white. Faulkner makes of Joe's tragedy a powerful indictment of racism; at the same time Joe's life is a study of the divided self and becomes a symbol of 20th century man.

The period from the late 1920s to the early 1940s was in Faulkner's career one of prodigious fertility, and the creative outburst on which it opens -- from The Sound and the Fury (1929) through As I Lay Dying (1930) and Sanctuary (1931) to Light in August (1932) -- touches indeed on the miraculous. It is the four children of this miracle that André Bleikasten re-examines and re-evaluates in his substantial new book on Faulkner. But rather than approach Faulkner's fiction from a priori theoretical assumptions and process it through some prefabricated grid, he has concentrated on th

If you suffer from knee osteoarthritis, then you're probably willing to do anything to walk without pain. You may have heard about total knee replacement from friends or your physician. You've also probably heard about the long recovery time and intense physical therapy process that follows a total knee replacement.
The Center for Orthopaedic Innovation has good news for patients suffering from knee osteoarthritis in Phoenix: there are alternatives to total knee replacement. For over three decades, the orthopaedic surgeons at St. Luke's Medical Center have focused on bringing innovative surgical techniques to the greater Phoenix metropolitan area. MAKOplasty® robotic partial knee resurfacing is one of the latest, most cutting edge procedures for treating osteoarthritis of the knee.
MAKOplasty® Procedure Benefits
MAKOplasty® is a minimally invasive procedure focused on getting you back to the activities you love as quickly as possible. There are a number of reasons why patients choose MAKOplasty® over total knee replacement. Benefits include:
Lastly, MAKOplasty® boasts only a 0.4% failure rate two years after surgery. That's nine times lower than manual partial knee replacements (PKRs). 89% of patients say they are "satisfied" or "very satisfied" with their results two years after the procedure.
When you visit St. Luke's Medical Center, you'll find that the care you receive is personalized. Clear and open lines of communication between surgeons, nurses and physical therapists mean you get the custom-tailored treatment you deserve.
Will I need intensive physical therapy to recover from the MAKOplasty® procedure?
Joints and muscle tissue are always weaker after surgery – even after minimally invasive procedures like MAKOplasty®. Physical therapy is strongly advised following robotic partial knee resurfacing. Our Motion Academy Total Joint Replacement class will teach you important exercises to "pre-habilitate" your knee before your surgery actually takes place. After surgery, our physical therapists will work with you to target those muscles that need rehabilitation. For patients who live nearby St. Luke's Medical Center, we invite you to take advantage of the outpatient physical therapy services here at the hospital. The physical therapy schedule, for most MAKO patients, is much less intensive than it is for patients who have had a total knee replacement (TKR).
Is MAKOplasty® covered by my insurance plan?
Most private and Medicare-approved insurance plans do cover MAKOplasty® robotic partial knee resurfacing, as it is a necessary knee arthroplasty procedure. Contact your insurance provider for more information, or view a list of health insurance plans accepted at St. Luke's Medical Center.
For more information about MAKOplasty® robotic partial knee resurfacing, please call the Center for Orthopaedic Innovation at St. Luke's Medical Center at 602-251-8682. For a referral to an orthopaedic surgeon, call 1-877-351-WELL (9355).

Guest Column
The Belfry Pirate baseball team has started off to a slow start for the 2013 Season. The Pirates, a team that went 25-9 last season and lost 4 players to graduation in 2012 has picked up the pace towards the ending of the season as they seem to have locked in the #1 seed in the 60th District as they ended regular season district play 3-1. Losing to Pike Central 3-4 in mid April and defeating Phelps twice and Pike Central once.
The Pirates are led by seniors Sean Hurley, Zack Francisco, Eli Huddle, Madison Ghormley and Travis Maynard. These five seniors have been a major help in picking up some "W's" for the Pirates.
But, we can't leave out those juniors Joey Duty, Reed Williamson, Zack Fields, Caleb Stanley and Austin Rollins, just to name a few. These guys have stepped up their game to help out the Pirates! The Pirates top pitchers this season would be Joey Duty, Zack Fields and sophomore Keaton Taylor have put up and stepped up at the right time to rally the Pirates back to a win.
We can't forget about the man behind the team, the one who helps these young men become leaders and teach them the right way to play the game of baseball, that man would just happen to be the head coach for the Pirates, Michael Hagy. Hagy has led teams in past to numerous 60th District Championships and 15th Region Tournament appearences. Hagy, who became the coach to have the most wins in a single season at Belfry in 2012 with 25 wins, makes sure these young men know eeverything from batting to catching. Coach Hagy was a standout baseball player at Williamson High School in Williamson, WV (now consolidated to form Mingo Central High School) and at Marshall University in the early to late 90s.
If you have not been to a Belfry baseball game in the 2013 season, you are surely missing out on very exciting games. Don't miss your chance to watch the Pirates as they play at home against East Ridge and Allen Central on May 2 and 3 respectively. Also, the 60th District Tournament and 15th Region Tournament is to be played at Belfry High School.
Get out and watch those Pirates.

A Butte man apparently had enough of the excessive campaigning this election year and decided to steal dozens of campaign signs.
Jon Fournier, 22, was arrested after 11 p.m. Sunday in connection with driving around and stealing about 50 campaign signs from several different yards. Butte Sheriff John Walsh said the thefts appeared to be random and Fournier wasn't targeting any particular candidates.
"He just said he was sick of all the political signs and apparently wanted to cleanup the neighborhood," Walsh said.
A resident in the 100 block of Rampart Drive called 911 after seeing a man take a sign from a yard about 11:10 p.m. and put it in his car. A short time later, a police patrol stopped Fournier who was driving a 2009 Toyota Corolla in the area of White Way and Burlington.
Police allegedly found about 50 signs in the backseat of the vehicle. Police also reportedly found a bong and some marijuana in Fournier's vehicle.
Fournier faces misdemeanor charges of theft, possession of dangerous drugs and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was released from jail on bond early Monday morning.

The Smuggler Wore Silk is a Regency-era romance novel written by Holloway Literary's Alyssa Alexander. Part romance novel and part edgy adventure, this novel is the first of a series that features Alpha males and feisty, independent heroines with secrets of their own. Be prepared for tantalizing love scenes, witty repartee, excellent period detail and grand romance.
Here's the blurb:
After he is betrayed by one of his own, British spy Julian Travers, Earl of Langford, refuses to retire without a fight, vowing to find the traitor. But when the trail leads to his childhood home, Julian is forced to return to a place he swore he'd never see again, and meet a woman who may be his quarry—in more ways than one.
Though she may appear a poor young woman dependant on charity, Grace Hannah's private life is far more interesting. By night, she finds friendship and freedom as a member of a smuggling ring. But when the handsome Julian arrives, she finds her façade slipping, and is soon compromised, as well as intrigued. As Grace and Julian continue the hunt, Grace finds herself falling in love with the man behind the spy. Yet Julian's past holds a dark secret. And when he must make a choice between love and espionage, that secret may tear them apart.
Despite being a native Michigander, Alyssa Alexander is pretty certain she belongs somewhere sunny. And tropical. Where drinks are served with little paper umbrellas. But until she moves to those white sandy beaches, she survives the cold Michigan winters by penning romance novels that always include a bit of adventure. She lives with her own set of heroes, aka an ever-patient husband who doesn't mind using a laundry basket for a closet, and a small boy who wears a knight in a shining armor costume for such tasks as scrubbing potatoes.

"Well it`s good that it`s open, I'm glad to see it open again," said Eugene Lechie of St. Clair.
The new owners at the Garfield Diner have also brought a new menu, and customers said the food is already a hit.
"It`s very good, the people are very nice, the food is very good, they are very friendly people the management," said Mir Hadelli from Delaware.
You won't just find burgers and fries on the menu, there's Greek, Italian, and Mediterranean as well, something for every taste.

The Garfield Diner on West Market Street in Pottsville is open seven days a week.

(Gawker) -A group of six Indonesian men were attacked by several tigers on Thursday, forcing five of the men to climb a tree, where they've remained since. The sixth man was mauled to death as he attempted to join his partners in the tree. Help for the trapped men reportedly won't arrive until sometime Wednesday.
The tiger attack occurred after the men, searching for wood to make a rare incense in the Gunung Leuser jungle, set traps for deer for food and, in the process, inadvertently killed a tiger cub. According to Indonesian police, the dying tiger cub attracted fully grown Sumatran tigers, who proceeded to attack the men, catching and killing one, a 28-year-old named David. The surviving five took refuge in a nearby tree.
The trapped men used their cell phones to call local villagers, who rushed to the scene only to retreat after spotting the prowling tigers. A 30-person search team called in on Saturday should reach the men by Wednesday.
"It might need two or three days to walk on foot to the depths of the jungle," Police chief Dicky Sondani told the BBC. "If the tigers remain under the tree, we may have to shoot or sedate them to rescue the five people."
The Sumatran tigers are an endangered species, with as few as 350 remaining in the wild

Hoping for a big boost in ticket sales is gambling next year's team on this years results. They can just as easily lose 7 straight after the deadline and Citi could be a ghost town. I just think there is too much risk.
Mota is not on the team. I think they should use someone on the team ... logistically that makes things easier. Takahashi replaced him last year ... K-Rod was not missed. Just keep trying guys until you find a hot hand. But the albatross needs to be dismissed.
Thanks for the advice goof. Unfortunately, I enjoy discussing the Mets, so I will continue responding.
Consider this tidbit. Gee's BABIP against left handers is .165. Randy Johnson's lifetime BABIP against lefties was .277. A correction is coming and it is not going to be pretty. Unless of course Gee continues to pitch in luck of historic proportions for the rest of his career.
Gee's AAA WHIP is 1.31; his AAA ERA is 4.76. Long term I expect his MLB stats to be a little above those numbers. It seems you put credence in A ball stats, we differ there. His results in the big leagues are skewed by luck. He will regress to the mean. Heath Bell was a case of selling low ... not sure how that compares (except a couple years from now the Mets will probably sell low on Gee). Kazmir was the top lefty pitching prospect, not yet a major leaguer. Again, not sure how you draw a comparison. I remember some Met fans were upset when Jae Seo was traded for Duaner Sanchez ... THAT would be a better comparable than inane suggestions of King Felix or Votto. I would trade Gee for a Sanchez type 8th inning guy in a heartbeat.
I think a lot of people missed the point. I am not saying I expect Gee would fetch a lot. But many people have spoken about him like he is untouchable. I feel if he was a necessary component to a trade that brought us back a part of the long term solution, I would have no problem including him in the deal. The responses to this post seem to indicate they took from this that I am saying shop Gee to the highest bidder and take whatever you are offered. I do think he should be shopped now ... let's see if there is a Jim Duquette out there that overvalues Gee and pull the trigger if you find that GM (by overvalue, I mean they also think he will be rick Reed). If not, cross your fingers that you are stuck with Rick Reed.
If expected is .300 and actual is .238 ... the difference between expected and actual is .062/.30 ... 20%.
You're right on the Rick Reed comment. I wrote the word "stuff" in the article and I meant location (I am going to edit and change it). Reed was the poor man's Greg Maddux because he lived on that outside corner with excellent control (but not the near perfect control of Maddux). Gee finds the middle of the plate too often for my liking and I think he has been as lucky as he has been good so far.
I agree there is likely not a market for Gee for the reasons stated above. However, if Alderson finds a GM who sees what a lot of Met fans see (Rick Reed or better), maybe you do get offered something decent for him. If that happened, I would not hesitate to pull the trigger.
Dude ... let's say the Mets are in talks to do a blockbuster and Gee is the final piece of the deal...do you do it?
On the one hand you say it is infantile and inane to trade him. On the other hand you say it is foolish to even explore it because he has no value.
Methinks both sides of your mouth are operational.
OK, your opinion is on the record. Let's check back next year and see if infantile and inane were appropriate depictions!
But that would make YOU an advisor to Alderson. Then I would tell him to fire you because you gave him bad advice. :)
I did not write this as a response to any event. I wrote it as a response to all the posters I see in the forums who just don't get it. They say "he should have bunted there", he is a lousy manager. He should have left the pitcher in for one more batter .. etc. (fyi, these posters are conspicuously silent when they disagree with his moves and they still work). Anyway, the point is fans think being a good manager is primarily in game decision making. That is just nonsense. The manager will influence a few games that way during the year (both for the good and the bad). This is not rocket science, most of us could pull the strings from our couch). But the real value of a manager is his leadership, PARTICULARLY during times of adversity. Collins has done everything a great leader should do. So the point of the post is simply to give the man props for doing a great job. Managers get second guessed on a daily basis but very little focus is given to the bigger picture .... I am just trying to provide a voice for the sect of fans who like what they are seeing with this guy.
With the roster that he has had at his disposal and the "absence" of Bay. What were your expectations for this team? It seems you expected better.
I agree, Met fans will ignore all that. That's my point, as a general rule, fans are ignorant of the game and will assign an identity to someone based upon one at bat, or one pitch, ignoring EVERYTHING else the player ever did. Most baseball fans are unaware that Bill Buckner was a tremendous hitter ... he is identified with one play at the end of his career and called a choke player. While understandable of the casual fans, it always surprises me that fans of the 162 game season will ignore a years worth, or sometimes a lifetimes worth of contributions.
So your "signature moment" is the one at bat against Wainwright. As I recall, that was in the year he hit 41 homers, drove in 116, scored 127, stole 18 bases, had an OPS of .982, won the Gold Glove, won the Silver Slugger, finished 4th in the MVP voting. Just want to clarify .. that is the season you are saying he proved his lack of worth? If Mota throws the changeup that LoDuca called for 3 times, that at bat doesn't happen, Mets probably win the World Series and Beltran is a hero. But getting locked up by a nasty curveball for one at bat from a pitcher who would go on to be one of the top starters in the majors ... THAT negates all!! I can only surmise that people who point to that at bat have never faced a premier yellow hammer. If Beltran had the exact same career in NY .. BUT he also chewed tobacco, threw his helmet in disgust, charged the mound a couple fo times etc. he would have been beloved. New York fans are not impressed by professionals ... they need to see visible signs of grit or the player is labeled soft.
Calling your team s---ty, lousy and saying we are snake bitten. Yeah, that's really the type of talk that energizes a fan base, motivates the players and takes accountability.
He is so transparent (to most of the fans), never more so than in his Reyes comments. Reyes has never said what he wants in terms of dollars. He has only said he likes New York and would love to stay. Somehow Fred interpreted that to mean he wanted Carl Crawford money. I guess Fred can read his players minds and being the true number one fan, he shares his mind reading adventures with the world.
Here is the real motivation .. Reyes is going to be traded and Wilpon is afraid he will once again be the villain with the fans. So by painting Reyes as greedy and asking for unreasonable sums of money, he demonizes Reyes and portrays himself as the owner who is a man of reason.
Personally, I have no problem with the Beltran signing. To say he is a schmuck for signing Beltran is a direct slap in the face to a guy who does not deserve it.
Wilpon is the captain of a sinking ship. In an obvious attempt to smooth over his Madoff-tinged image, he does this article. Instead of using the piece as a motivational tool for the team, he used it as a woe is me, whining session, threw his players under the bus for the underachieving and took no accountability for the failures of his regime.
Fred must feel good that the apologists are still out in force. Even when he is indefensible, people manage to defend him.
Did you check out Olney's comments today?
"The worst thing that could happen is for Alderson to be diminished, or marginalized, and certainly Wilpon's published comments did not help him, or the organization. At the very least, the owner has already gnawed at some of the leverage that Alderson has in shopping Reyes. Now nobody believes the Mets would actually consider keeping their shortstop."
He is spot on. Wilpon showed one of his cards and it makes the poker game that much more difficult for Alderson to navigate. He no longer has the "illusion" that the Mets may retain Reyes. It is naive to think this doesn't hurt the Mets trading leverage. Wilpon's comments have made the possibility of a hometown discount an impossibility. These are the type of remarks that would get an executive Who is not an owner) fired. I am amazed that you can dismiss his comments as just someone speaking the truth. Basically you are saying it is no different for Wilpon to utter those remarks than, say, Matt Cerrone.
Interesting take. So I assume you feel it was ok for Wilpon to make those remarks because of their veracity? What is the positive outcome that will be realized from making his feelings public?
You pontificate and whine with your superiority complex about the evil fans. But you don't address the issue ... what is the purpose of uttering those remarks in public?
He said his club is lousy. His GM said he feels they can compete for a playoff spot. You see nothing wrong with that?
I have defended Wilpon in the past against the claims he was cheap. The facts don't jive with that assertion. But there is no defending all the finger pointing. His ship is sinking and he is looking everywhere except the mirror. Not the kind of captain I would want to roll with.
But I guess there will be apologists for EVERYTHING he does.
Thomas, you know I want to keep Reyes but that is strictly on an emotional level. If he does get a 100Million dollar contract, he will be very overpaid. So I am sympathetic to Alderson's dilemma. His Excel spreadsheet tells him that Reyes is worth far less than 100Million but the fan base loves him and will be angry if he is traded. I like Reyes, particularly defensively, but I think he is overrated by Met fans. Most Met fans seem to feel Reyes is worth the big money but his production says otherwise. The Mets have not won recently with him and the park is empty while he is having a career year, so there is no compelling evidence he is a winner OR a fan draw. If you are correct, and most likely you are, that the Mets will be cautious spenders in the foreseeable future, it is hard to justify spending nearly 15% of your payroll on a player that does not drive in runs and does not pitch like an ace. Big money should go to aces and star offensive players. Reyes is a fine offensive player but he is a table setter, he is not one who can do the heavy lifting. Unfortunately, trading him is very logical.
I understand the concept of paying tomorrow so you can do something today, I am glad they think creatively. I am not even criticizing them for using 8%. I am just saying 8% made it a complete no-brainer for Bonilla and it was a gamble for the Wilpons.
If they took the 5.9 million and were able to get a 10 year guarantee higher than 8%, they make themselves some nice cash with Bonilla's money on the spot! I doubt they did that because I agree, they did it to give them some more payroll flexibility that year.
They gambled that the economy would remain stable for the next TEN years. They lost the gamble. They could afford to gamble (or so they thought). Many other people gambled on their balloon mortgages using similar logic. They could NOT afford to gamble and ironically, their gambling ended up costing the Wilpons a fortune. Because without the financial crisis, Madoff would still be Ponziing away and the Wilpons would have laughed all the way to the bank as they used Bonilla's money to arbitrage their way to tens of millions of dollars.
I can tell you definitively, no actuary would ever be comfortable with a 35 year guarantee of 8%, regardless of the financial climate.
The Wilpons seem like nice guys. But it is incredible that they were successful in business because they do so many dumb things!

Gloucestershire astronomers hoping for clear skies for Stargazing Live 2014
Posted: January 04, 2014|
ASTRONOMERS are desperately hoping for clear skies at least one night this week so they can take part in Stargazing Live 2014.
Members of the Cotswold Astronomical Society (CAS) plan to take to Montpellier Gardens with their telescopes to take part in the annual event.
But with stormy weather in Gloucestershire since the start of the year, the stargazers fear cloudy skies, heavy rain and strong wind could force them to down telescopes.
Peter Cadogan, the co-ordinator of the group, said: "Because of the poor weather, this year we are going to try setting up in Montpellier Gardens on any evening next week that the skies are clear.
"Hopefully there will be at least one, but the prospects are not good at the moment.
"We certainly get frustrated by the poor weather, which is why we are trying to be flexible this year."
The public are invited to attend the free event and Mr Cadogan said society members will have telescopes to show people the stars.
And he is hopeful that, weather permitting, there should be plenty of interesting sights to see.
"There should be lots to see, especially the moon and Jupiter, which will be at its closest to us this year," he said.
"Jupiter will be very bright and there will be a first quarter moon, which is stunning through the telescope.
"We will also find some star clusters and even galaxies if we can, as well as pointing out the winter constellations."
Stargazing Live has been broadcast on the BBC every January since 2011 and is presented by scientist Brian Cox and comedian and amateur astronomer Dara Ó Briain.
The show, which encourages people across the UK to join in with the stargazing, has been a big hit with astronomers and CAS has been taking part since 2011.
Mr Cadogan said: "The great thing about Stargazing Live is that so many people want to get involved and see the night sky for themselves.
"With these things it is very difficult to predict the weather conditions – we have had some successes, and some failures.
"But when you get a clear night it's very satisfying to be able to show the stars and the moon to the general public.
"The moon is always changing, even during the course of an evening as the sun's shadows pass across it, and seeing it close-up through a telescope makes it that much more real."
In recent years the society has almost doubled its membership numbers from 60 to 120 people, and its events have attracted a large following.
Mr Cadogan added: "The increase is not solely down to Stargazing Live. Lots of really exciting things have been going on in space recently, like Curiosity on Mars or the discovery of water on Mercury."

NM Route 66 Project Hits Snag
The on-again off-again renovation of a Route 66 landmark in Albuquerque has hit yet another snag.
The National Park Service is requiring that the developer of the De Anza Motor Lodge design elements that were added to the motel in 1964. But Rob Dickson, the project's developer, says are those deigns are costly and irrelevant.
The National Park Service in November gave "conditional approval" to the $4.3 million renovation of the Route 66 landmark. The agency's approval is needed to obtain federal historic tax credits.
Dickson plans to convert the 74-year-old motel in Albuquerque into a 39-unit apartment complex and restaurant.
Albuquerque officials plan to appeal the National Park Service's conditional approval of the project.

I often hear people in online knitting circles refer to "Rhinebeck". I am assuming it is some kind of Knitting or Fibre or Spinning show or convention or something like that.
Or...For "Friends of Franklin"...his upcoming book has just come available for pre-order on Amazon.
Yes, it's official:
Spirals done. Filler squares done. Ready to stitch them all together and discovered that my filler squares are too big!!
is it hard to unply yarn......... i have some medium worsted 4 ply yarn that i want to unply it to makee four balls and do something lace
I use lifelines when knitting unless I am doing something really small or really simple. Basically I gain nothing from frogging so I take a little extra time to avoid it at all costs.
I will be in Paris until Sunday the 18th. Does anyone have any good fiberholic stash acquisition locales?
Well, here it is. My first attempt at a fair isle sweater. I went cheap with the yarn in case I decided to throw the whole thing into the fire. All in all, I'm kinda proud of it.
Finished that cat blanket I've been working on. It was a great learning experience.
Here's the deal. Our LYS had a sale this week and in their "$1 patterns" pile, they had three copies of the "Vogue Knitting K.1 men's issue" from Fall/Winter 2005.
So, I finished the buttonhole row on the button band of my cardigan and I looked at the pattern to see what was next and noticed it says "knit 3 more rows then cast off for ribbing".

continued Whitney considered asking for donations to support her lunch program, but decided to hold a race.
"I chose to hold a race rather than just ask for donations mostly because of the action it takes," Whitney explained. "Mission of Hope is all about action. Sister Debbie (Blow, Mission of Hope director) always reminds us that 'our mission truly starts when we get home.' We all need to do what we can and getting up in the morning to push your body to run 5 kilometers for a great cause is a lot more satisfying than just handing someone 20 bucks.
"Also, Mission of Hope's slogan has always been 'corazones y manos' which translates from Spanish to 'hearts and hands' to show that we care and we take action," she added. "For the run, I have come up with the slogan 'corazones y pies,' which means 'hearts and feet' to symbolize the reason why we are running."
A spiritually-based humanitarian organization, the North Country Mission of Hope is committed to fostering hope and empowering relationships with the people of Nicaragua through sustainable programs in education, health care, community and ecological development. It began in 1998 by responding to the devastating effects of Hurricane Mitch on the impoverished villages of Nicaragua.
The North Country Mission of Hope is successful, Whitney said, because of the support it receives from Adirondack residents.
"Mission of Hope is so incredibly thankful for the people in the North Country for all of their support," Whitney said. "We realize that, especially in today's economy, there are people who suffer from hunger even here in the United States. However, we are fortunate enough to have numerous programs and organizations that are dedicated to help our people, like the Salvation Army and food pantries.
"In Nicaragua, they rely on people like you and me to help mitigate their hunger, their pain," she added. "It's difficult sometimes to remind ourselves that we don't really need the new iPhone, or that a bad grade on a math test isn't the end of the world. But when we remember what is really important, we can open our hearts with generosity and make an unimaginable difference in the lives of people all around the world."

Geely Auto, one of China's largest non-government controlled automakers, said yesterday sales in December climbed 24% from a year earlier to 59,654 units.
The company's Hong Kong-traded shares gained more than 1% in morning trading today. They have more than doubled in the past year, amid hopes for improved business in both China's auto market — the world's largest — as well as overseas.
Chairman Li Shufu ranked No. 60 on the 2012 Forbes China Rich List with wealth of $1.4 billion. (Click here for a link to the Forbes China Rich List 400.)
Geely's shipments for all of 2012 climbed by 15% from a year earlier to 483,483, the company said. Geely's sales target for 2013 is 560,000 vehicles, an increase of 16% from last year.
Ford said on Monday that it set an annual record in China in 2012, selling more than 626,000 vehicles wholesale. That was an increase of 21% from a year earlier.

One such pocket is the Eat-Rite, a white metal box in the shadow of the Ralston Purina office compound. Here I recently enjoyed, with a pretty decent slice of cherry pie, scalding coffee from a plastic cup inscribed with the catchy "Eat-Rite or Don't Eat at All" slogan. The cook didn't know how old the Eat-Rite was but guessed that the current owner has had it "for 35 years, maybe longer." A matron of regal bearing, she wore a sumptuous turquoise apron dotted with pink flowers and brandished her spatula like a scepter.
Although I would scarcely advocate eating an Eat-Rite hamburger (mine distinguished itself with a netherworldly slime), there was a stirring quality about the place. Indeed, a stool at the Eat-Rite offers many lush opportunities for pithy and poetic contemplations on the naked city. Its windows frame spectacular steel-gray vistas of industrial downtown. I watched freight trains grumble by on elevated tracks to reveal the slick face of the Arch glinting ironically in the distance. Plenty of colorful characters, too. Sitting next to me was a pale, haunted chappie who pored vigorously over a religious pamphlet. I couldn't help noticing his belt buckle, a royal flush fashioned in silver.
No less a sterling example of the breed is Lisa's Diner, which basks in the umbra of a steel mill in Granite City, Ill. (the archetypal diner always basks in the umbra of something). Until recently Lisa's Diner was called G's Grill and resembled a gloriously desiccated old railroad car. A new facade gives it the unfortunate appearance of a lean-to shack, but inside there still flourishes the good, greasy stuff diner dreams are made of. When the gang and I tottered in, still shaken from a harrowing careen across the McKinley Bridge, everybody at the counter turned to see whether we were somebody (we weren't). A country tune jangled on the jukebox. The counter was rubbed thin from a generation of elbows, the floor scuffed from a generation of steel-toed boots. The waitress gave us coffee in Santa Claus mugs and called us all "hon." We had biscuits and gravy (closest culinary relative: library paste). It was an invigorating excursion.

Meanwhile, back at the Courtesy ... it was 2 in the afternoon when I returned to conquer the slinger. Gone were the rabble-rousers, profligates and skanky ho's of the wee hours, and with them the sweaty din of urgency and dissipation. Today it was all good old boys and dusky quiet. Down the counter, a leathery ex-Marine was administering burgers and fries to his malfeasant grandsons, and a couple of fry cooks smoked cigarettes in the corner. The place was ripe with, shall we say, the earthy aroma of the proletariat. I traced the origin of this overpowering fragrance to a coveralled personage fresh from his toil, who was scowling emotively at a plate of chili mac.
The cook was an artist. I watched her craft an omelette with the fluid efficiency of a master sculptor, lobbing bits of ham and squares of orange cheese onto an expanse of egg the size of a hubcap, then folding it all up into a neat cadeau with a couple brisk flicks of the spatula. She created my slinger in much the same manner and set the thing before me in about 90 seconds.
The result of this excellent woman's labors is the reason this article really isn't about slingers at all. In the end, I couldn't quite choke it down.

C'mon and grab your friends.
It looks really good…
Ain't no time for bird sex.
Sonuvabitch!! They're pretty much the same thing.
Of course, it's Adult Swim, so you know there's no chance that they're not going to take the opportunity to screw with their audience. And honestly, we wouldn't have it…
Get ready for close encounters of the weird and random kind with these "Adventure Time" episodes. "Adventure Time" is one of the strangest and adorable shows on the Cartoon Network…
These examples of "Chowder" episodes are from the American animated series that ran for three seasons. It used standard animation techniques with a good dose of stop animation and, believe…
The world needs a mulleted hero.
…and that, folks, is far from all, because we have a preview image from "Daffy's Rhapsody."

'Dragon' EP Tim Johnson sheds some light on plans for the "bigger" sequel and TV series.
What? No snarky Goth?? They may have reneged on "Weird Al" but it looks like The Cartoon Network is still very much in the spoof business. Last night, during an episode of "Children's Hospital," a preview of the upcoming action series "National Terrorism Strike Force: San Diego: Sports Utility Vehicle." Or "NTSF: SD: SUV" for short(er). The action series stars Paul Scheer as a Jack Bauer/David Caruso hybrid, and Rob Riggle as a general/terrorist or something. I think what we should all focus on here is the fact that the team employs a rocket launcher-touting chef. Not enough shows have that. Check out the preview after the jump….
Move over Frank Darabont. Looks like there may be another Hawaiian-shirted director in town. We reported previously about "Weird Al" Yankovic's deal with Cartoon Network to air whatever lunacy he conjured up. Part of that deal was to create a live-action feature length film, but now Cartoon Network has decided against creating long-form live-action content for television. "Weird" is taking it all in stride though, and doing his best to get this project up on the big screen.As I had previously reported, after years of negotiation, I was able to sign a major production deal with Cartoon Network to provide content for them. They were primarily interested in live action features, so I pitched them on a movie idea. They loved it, and gave me the go-ahead to start working on the screenplay. I worked closely with them for several months, and after submitting my 4th draft, just when I was just about to get the official green light… Cartoon Network let me know that they were no longer in the feature film business.…it's not entirely bad news – the script went into turnaround, which means I'm free to sell it somewhere else. (Come to think of it, that was pretty much the exact thing that happened when I was trying to get UHF made.) So maybe it'll get produced at some point, maybe it won't… all I know is, I'll have a lot more free time this fall.Maybe it will, maybe it won't?! No way, "Weird." This is Hollywood. That apathetic approach won't get you anywhere in this town. If you want to see your dreams on the silverscreen, you need to strap on your accordian, bust into those boardrooms, and show those overpaid dick krinkles just who the eff they're dealing with. Don't leave there until you hear the words "go picture." You're "Weird Al" Yankovic, and you don't take no sh*t from nobody. And make sure they validate your parking. (Al's Blog)
I remember why this was so popular!Twenty years after its cancellation, "ThunderCats" is poised to return to the small screen. A re-imaged "anime-inspired" version of the classic 80's cartoon will begin airing on Cartoon Network in 2011. The Cats join a growing list of retro characters headed to the CN lineup, including Batman, Scooby-Doo and The Looney Tunes. While CN is hopeful that the entire cast will return, the beloved character of Snarf may end up as the lone holdout. The annoying, overweight feline is currently in negotiations to join Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg on "The View," which would all but rule out his participation in the relaunch. (Variety) Watch two minutes of Snarf repeatedly saying "Snarf" after the Snarf.
"Coyote Falls"? I don't get it? After years in hiding, Bugs Bunny and the gang are headed back to the big screen. In a throwback to the golden age of Warner Brothers cartoons, the studio is releasing three 3D shorts that will run in theaters before feature-length films. In addition, Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck are getting their own 26 episode show on Cartoon Network.This is the first major announcement from the Looney Tunes since they were sexually assaulted by NBA great Michael Jordan on the set of Space Jam 14 years ago Brendan Fraser on the set of Looney Tunes: Back in Action 7 years ago. Since cartoon characters are not protected under the law, Brendan got off on a technicality. But the event was so traumatizing that Bugs and company quit showbiz and hadn't been heard from since. Luckily, time heals all wounds, even the really stretched out cartoon kind.The first of the shorts, "Coyote Falls", will appear before the film Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore, which sounds stupid and opens on July 30. The TV series will premiere this fall, and will probably be canceled next spring. That's all, folks! (Coming Soon)
"Weird Al" Yankovic has signed a production deal with Cartoon Network to broadcast anything he wants on the channel. First up will be a live-action feature film that will NOT star the parodist. According to "Weird", the network asked that the project star a young protagonist. That's a shame. Where will they ever find a youngster with the charm and good looks of "Weird Al" Yankovic? Besides McLovin, of course. I just hope Wheel of Fish is on the primetime schedule. (Al's Blog via Coming Soon)

Thinking about getting an iphone 4 but I have a couple of questions...
Hi everyone,I been out the Apple game for awhile and may be looking to come back. I been using Android for the past 2 years (currently the Atrix for the past 2 weeks), so I'm not up to par with the iphone as far as it's features, limitations etc. So I was wondering if some of you can answer some questions for me.
Do the iphone 4 have facebook integration that is as detail as Android's Facebook intergration? I know with the iphone 4 FB app, you can sync pics with your contacts. But does it also provide the FB status updates for the those same contacts?
How's the battery life on the iPhone 4? I assume it will be much greater and depend on the user's usage but like I said I been out of the loop for awhile. I have the Atrix and I usually get about 15-17 hours out of one charge.
Can the Iphone video chat with other devices particularly Android Users and/or apps such as Fring, Skype, Qik? And can it be done over wifi and 3G?
How's the camera? Is the picture quality nice and clear?
I know I will have more questions but I have to get ready for work. I have until March 28th before my 30 days is up to cancel or exchange my Atrix.
http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/iph...tegration.html :P
I'm not a Facebook user, so I cannot comment in that. I coverted from droid about a month ago, the iPhone and iOS is soooo much better than droid in many ways. Battery life is three times that of my hero. Much better.

Jay Leno – Not as Funny as People Thought
After the infamous NBC late-night talk show rumbles which pushed Conan O'Brien out of the role of the host of the Tonight Show, to open up room for Jay Leno's triumphant return, NBC executives were hoping that their fortunes would improve with the return of the overly giggly funnyman. Alas, things have not turned out as had been hoped.
Six months into the return, the ratings are the lowest they have been since 1992, Variety reports. This is despite an impressive showing upon his first night back on the show, which attracted 6.6 million viewers.
These numbers have a hidden meaning that one can find by reading between the lines, as it were. During those few months that Jay Leno was off the air, people forgot how boring his show was, and flocked back to watch his return, only to be reminded of what they had already known only months ago. Luckily, Conan O'Brien is set start his new show on TBS soon, and hopefully bring much needed humor to the late-night scene.

Here's a trailer for the Pee Wee's Big Adventure porn parody.
I am not shocked by this, as we know that everything will at some point be turned into a porn parody, as surely as every living thing will someday die and decay unto the earth from whence it came, it's just – this one's a little extra-draining, childhood-wise.
Next up, the Beauty And The Beast porn parody, followed by Newsies, Follow That Bird, Looney Tunes, then just a movie where Vivid goes back in time and punches 7-year-old me in the sternum repeatedly:
Our reaction? The same as Large Marge's:

Created: 08/04/2014 10:58 PM KAALtv.com
By: Jenna Lohse
(ABC 6 News) -- Minnesota is now the fifth state to treat teens who have been sexually exploited as victims, not criminals.
The Safe Harbor Law has been implemented in phases since it passed in 2011, but on Friday it took full effect. On top of no longer criminalizing exploited youth, there's also stiffer penalties for sex traffickers.
The Safe Harbor Law also created regional navigators, in other words, official groups who victims can turn to for help across the state. Dodge, Fillmore and Olmsted County Victim Services here in Rochester is our area's navigator. They'll be the point of contact for agencies who've identified a victim of sex trafficking and be that support system these youth need.
"It's really about the young people that are needing the help, needing to escape, needing to recover," said Jeanne Ronayne, with Olmsted County Victim Services.
While Safe Harbor is now a statewide law, Olmsted County has been ahead of the curve. County Attorney Mark Ostrem says they don't criminalize teens under the age of 18 who are victims of sex trafficking and haven't for many years.

Revenge's Gabriel Mann Talks Nolan Ross's Alliance With Victoria Grayson
And just when we thought Revenge had exhausted all possible pairings, the powers that be put Nolan Ross and Victoria Grayson on the same team. We'd like to take this time to send a sincere thank you to the Revenge Gods for making our wildest dreams come true.
In Episode 19, "Identity," Victoria approaches Nolan, begging him to help find her son, Patrick. Little does she know that Nolan's the hacker who took down The Falcon. Edith Lee (aka The Falcon) was a computer hacker working to keep Vicki's first born under wraps, but all that changed when Nolan leaked the information to Nightline when Victoria was mid-interview.
Now Queen V has unwittingly sought help from the man working to destroy her. But that doesn't mean this partnership can't be incredible. In Season 1, Nolan and Tyler Barrol teamed up on several issues, leading to their hot romance and sex tape. Sure, things didn't turn out so great for TyleNol, but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy this new pairing while it lasts!
Apparently we weren't the only ones keeping our fingers crossed for this new unholy alliance. Actor Gabriel Mann spoke with TV Guide before Episode 19 aired saying, "There is going to be a very, very unlikely alliance that I and another member of the cast had been pitching for two years now, and it finally starts to come true."
"This was something I had been really gunning for and finally got, and it may be the beginning of a beautiful marriage made in hell to be explored, in a potential Season 3," he continued. "At this point, we've certainly laid the groundwork for some major fireworks."
Umm, could there be a potential Volan/Nictoria hook up? Our hearts would NOT recover!
Do you think Nolan and Victoria's relationship could get physical? Tell us below!

DURHAM, N.H. – Head coach Bill Herrion and his staff announced Monday that Jordon Bronner (Sleepy Hollow, N.Y.) and DeAndray Buckley (Romulus, Mich.) have each signed a National Letter of Intent to join the University of New Hampshire men's basketball program and attend the school next fall.
Bronner, a 5-foot-11-inch, 175-pound combo guard from Iona Prep, averaged 12 points and four assists per game this year for a team that won 25 games under head coach Vic Quirolo. Bronner and Co. won 27 games the year before en route to the school's first Catholic State Championship. The Gaels won their league championship three years in a row, while Bronner, the school's first four-year varsity starter, made all-county and all-league squads his junior and senior seasons.
"Jordon Bronner fills a need that we had because he can play both guard positions, and we are very excited to have him," Herrion said. "He is a scoring point guard with great quickness. He has been very well coached coming from a very successful Iona Prep program."
Buckley, a 6-4, 205-pound wing from Romulus High School, was part of a school-record 79 victories during his career, and played in two state semifinals. This season, Buckley averaged 15.2 points, 9.2 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2.2 steals per game, while shooting 49 percent from the floor under the tutelage of head coach Nate Oates. Buckley guided the Eagles to a 21-2 record this year, as well as the No. 1 ranking in the Detroit News' Super 10. Buckley, a four-year varsity player, was named to the Detroit News All-Area West First Team, in addition to the Detroit News Dream Team Third Team.
"DeAndray is a perimeter player that will give us size and toughness at that position," Herrion said." He comes from a great high school program and has also been very well coached. We are very happy to have him join our family here at UNH."
The Wildcats add Bronner and Buckley to a recruiting class that already included Scott Morris (Walkersville, Md.), who was signed during the early period in November.
Morris, who is currently wrapping up his senior year at Walkersville High School, averaged 22.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 2.9 steals per game this season as he led the Lions to the Class 2A West Region championship game and a 14-9 overall record. The 6-foot-2-inch, 190-pound guard was selected as the Frederick/Carroll County Player of the Year by the Maryland Gazette. The four-year starter also performs well off the court, as he is the owner of a 4.0 grade point average, which ranks No. 1 in his class of 328.

OCU Women Defeat Grace 3-1 for 2nd Straight Win
CIRCLEVILLE, OH - The OCU women's soccer team won their 2nd straight game in a time span of 24 hours with a 3-1 victory at home against Grace Bible College on Saturday afternoon.
Katie Saha continued her hot streak with a pair of goals for the Trailblazers. For Saha it gave her five goals in just two games. Sara Hildreth also found the back of the net for Ohio Christian as she scored in the win.
Goalkeeper Amy Hardbarger played a key factor as she kept Grace in check for 90 minutes as she tallied 4 saves while surrendering just one goal. Hardbarger has led a much improved defense that has surrendered just 3 goals over the last two games. OCU has outscored opponents 7-3 during their two game winning streak.

"Caldwell, Hardbarger, and Zenner are also stepping into their roles nicely to give us a huge boost on the field. We are gaining confidence and growing as a team which is a huge step in our success."
OCU is back in action on Wednesday when they take on NAIA affliliate Pikeville College at home for a 2pm start.

I'm thinking that if you are a politician, entertainer, or any other person in the limelight due to your profession, you should really think about that career ahead of time. Family, friends, etc are fair game and privacy is gone. Watching the left and right bicker and fight like children, you all are no role models. It's your inability to get anything done for our country that is making politics even more ugly. The we are right and they are always wrong just ain't working.
Thank you and the PD. I have never submitted a rant. How would I go about that?
i just turn off my phone and put it in the back seat before i drive off. whatever it is, can wait until i get to my destination.
OhioVoter obviously don't drive downtown at rush hour
I have no clue. Who?
Lack of police before. With the casino the patrols are up. There are now traffic police on E 9th again during rush hour. I think this is a good idea. Imdomthinkmthe interbelt project is screwing up the flow. Primarily the last minute mergers. They need to keep cars from parking on those main roads after 4. No more curb side service for Medical Mutual employees.
formal dress codes are pretty much out the door anymore thanks to the 20s/30s generation. there used to be restuarants in the area that required a suit jacket not more than 10 years ago. those same places have dropped those rules. i take the wife to an upscale pricey restaurant for our anniversary. i wear a suit. the guy at the table next to me is wearing jeans with an untucked dress shirt. that might be the style but there is a time and place for that. people should just dress nice anytime they go out in public. No more pjs in public please.
pay for the phase 2 of the interbelt bridge project LOL
Waiting for his trucks to hit the streets this spring. No time to for sit down restaurants with a 30 minute lunch.
the issue is the influx of residents into Avon. cost of many public services are going to increase. population doubled in the last 10 years. it's all math.
simple solution. end these unlimited plans. with wi-fi just about everywhere, why do you need 3, 5, 10 GB? i wish i could drop down to a 1GB plan. since i obtained my iphone 3 years ago i have never gone over 750k per month. i shouldn't be paying what someone who used 10GB uses. they obviously have too much free time on their hands.
if you just ignore it, it will go away
Was he not on a half dozen or more stations after Stern with to Sirius? Now he's on in Cleveland and I think Rochester, NY. Two very small and weak markets. When he makes it in Chicago, NYC, or LA he can brag. Cleveland radio is weak. He's not even a consistent #1 here. Lannigan beats him.
MWL was number 1 in this time slot ahead of Triv. If you want scripted you listen to Rover. If you wanted real you listed to MWL. The only reason he was fired was because he always talked crap about his bosses. I'm done with radio. I listen to Sirius now. MSNBC on the morning drive.
WMMS is #11 in the market? I can't even name 10 other Cleveland stations. Did B-W's radio station beat them out? I have not listened to that channel since they dropped MWL. Rover is a fraud in the sense that his show is scripted.
I concur. Two good programs.
if the gov't is going to push for anyone who receives public money to take a drug test, then they need to be prepared to be tested themselves. only seems right.... i don't want my tax money going to some Senator's drinking or drug habit. personally, i'm wondering why we pay congressmen at all. that should be a part-time volunteer job.
I would be weary now of Koman. Now that they've gone political one would have to wonder, are they for me or against me? Those who once donated regularly may now second question that decision. I hope they aren't tarnished. They do a good thing. They just have some work to do to protect thier image.
so komen is okay with women not getting breast exams? doesn't seem like they would be considering their mission. also not sure what abortions have anything to do with breast exams. i would also like to see what other organization they've cuts ties with in the past.
