At Rafe's place, Gabriella asks Sami and Rafe why they're worried about Will speaking to Arianna. Rafe says he needs to get a hold of Arianna. Gabriella leaves as Sami tries to call Will.
In front of the pub, Will pleads with Arianna to keep Sami's secret as EJ arrives. Arianna runs into the street and a crash is heard. Later, Bo arrives and questions Will and EJ. They explain a car hit Arianna and drove off. From the stretcher, Arianna tries to tell EJ something. The paramedics wheel Arianna away. Sami calls Will and he tells her about Arianna's accident. Sami turns to Rafe and tells him about Arianna. Rafe takes the phone and Will tells him he's sorry.
At the hospital, Sister Anne reprimands Carly for lying about Chloe's identity as Kayla overhears. Across the room, Nathan asks Maxine if Melanie is scheduled to work, and she tells him Melanie is in tomorrow. Nathan checks his phone and tells himself he's done trying to reach Melanie to apologize.
Melanie arrives at Stephanie's apartment and asks her to keep Chloe's secret. Melanie explains that Chloe had a paternity test and Daniel's the father. Stephanie agrees not to say anything. Melanie's surprised that Stephanie is cooperating. Stephanie asks how she and Philip are doing. Melanie says they're great and asks the same of her and Nathan. Stephanie says they're both happy as Nathan arrives. He asks Melanie what she's doing there. Stephanie excuses herself and Melanie apologizes to Nathan for saying mean things to him when she found out the truth. Nathan says he cares about her and was trying to protect her. Melanie says she understands, and is keeping Chloe's secret to protect Daniel. She asks Nathan not to tell anyone, and Nathan promises. He adds that he'll never hurt her. Stephanie returns and Melanie leaves. Nathan feels horrible about lying to Melanie. Stephanie assures him everything's fine.
Carly follows Sister Anne to the lake and begs her not to tell Daniel. Kayla follows and eavesdrops as Carly explains that she helped Chloe because it was her fault that Chloe was manipulated into having the affair. Sister Anne scolds Carly's immoral actions, but Carly begs her to think about Daniel and Chloe's baby. Sister Anne asks Carly to leave. When Carly goes, Kayla emerges and sees that Sister Anne is holding a clipping of Daniel and Chloe's wedding. Sister Anne asks Kayla to reschedule. When she leaves, Kayla wonders if Carly changed the paternity results.
The paramedics bring Arianna to the hospital and into the operating room. Rafe, Will, and EJ arrive. Rafe asks Will why Arianna ran into the street. Sami arrives and Rafe walks off to take a call from Gabriella. Sami asks Will what happened, and he blames himself for Arianna's accident. Sami admits that she confessed to Arianna, and she got it on tape. Will says EJ was there and wonders if Arianna told him the truth. Will says Bo is questioning him.
In another room, Bo takes EJ's statement as Will and Sami enter. EJ tells Bo to question Will even though he'd lie. Sami scolds EJ for making accusations against Will. EJ asks what Will said to Arianna to make her run into traffic. Maxine arrives and says Arianna's out of surgery.
In the hall, Rafe fills Gabriella in on Arianna's accident as Lexi returns. Sami, Will, Bo, and EJ return and Lexi announces that Arianna is recovering. Bo and EJ ask to see Arianna, but Lexi restricts visitors to family only. She takes Rafe and Gabriella to see Arianna. EJ warns Bo to keep Will and Sami away from Arianna. Bo, Sami, and Will walk off. EJ grabs Will and warns him that Arianna will tell him everything.
In Arianna's room, Rafe and Gabriella tell Arianna they love her. Rafe asks Gabriella to call their mom. Rafe recalls his argument with Arianna and tells her they'll make it through this.
Back out in the hall, Bo asks Sami about her fight with Arianna, and Sami says it was just sisters-in-law arguing. Will explains that he was just asking Arianna about the fight when she ran off. Bo warns them he'll interview Arianna when she wakes up, and leaves. Sami and Will hope that no one finds the camera. A cop brings Arianna's purse and Bo tells her to leave it with a nurse. Lexi tells Bo to question Arianna later. EJ tells Lexi he needs to see Arianna because she may have the evidence he needs to get his children back. Bo tells the cop to call when Arianna wakes. Bo tells Sami and Will to call him if they want to add to their statements. He leaves as Sami recalls her fight with Arianna. Maxine puts Arianna's purse under the desk. Sami tells Will they need to get the camera from the purse. Will pretends he's a hurt student and asks Maxine for an ice-pack. When Maxine goes to get one, Sami sorts through the purse. The cop catches her and Sami explains she's Arianna's sister-in-law and wants to keep her purse. Maxine says she can't take it without Arianna's consent. The cop tells Maxine that Arianna's things were scattered by the pub. Sami tells Will she's going to check the pub for the camera. Sami tells Rafe she's going to check on the kids. A doctor tells Rafe that Arianna's condition isn't stable yet.
Bo meets Carly in front of the pub and tells her about Arianna's accident. Bo thinks Will and Sami are involved and covering for each other. Carly says family has to look out for each other.
EJ enters Arianna's room. She opens her eyes and mumbles that she has to tell him something.

August 3, 2015
LAS VEGAS (AP) - More evacuees will be allowed to return to their mountain homes near Las Vegas as firefighters continue progress against a massive wildfire.
Fire officials say the Carpenter 1 fire on Mount Charleston, 25 miles northwest of Las Vegas, was 70 percent contained on Sunday evening.
It has burned about 44 square miles since being sparked by lightning on July 1.
A spokesman for Clark County says some 50 residents of Lee Canyon on Mount Charleston are cleared to return home on Monday morning, 11 days after they fled the blaze.
About 30 residents of Trout and Lovell canyons began returning home on Sunday.
It's still unknown when about 300 residents of Kyle Canyon will be allowed to return home.
Meanwhile, in Wyoming, cooler temperatures and higher humidity have helped firefighters gain the upper hand on a wildfire burning in a remote area southeast of Casper. The 211-acre fire is 50 percent contained.
And parts of New Mexico that have been blackened by wildfires are in danger of flooding. The National Weather Service says thunderstorms could dump heavy rain in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and northeast highlands before moving into western New Mexico late Monday.

Miley Cyrus performs at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday. (Photo by Charles Sykes/Invision/AP)
Now that Miley Cyrus' raunchy performance on the MTV Video Music Awards has gone viral and her music is dominating iTunes in the wake of the buzz, we're wondering what you think. Is she a big star or just bizarre? Share your comments at the end of this article.
From the Associated Press:
NEW YORK — The aftermath of the MTV Video Music Awards came with a few more people Googling the phrase: "What is twerking?"
It's been a popular search all summer, ever since Miley Cyrus, America's former teen sweetheart, decided her pathway to chart-topping success involved doing freaky things with stuffed animals and gyrating her booty at high speeds. Newly anointed as an expert, Cyrus has been twerking her way up the charts with the song "We Can't Stop," the catchy groove that has been in Billboard's top 10 for most of the summer.
For those who are still unclear, twerking is a dance, it's all about the movement of the rump — and it's been around longer than Miley's been alive. It's been called different things at different times, but anyone who saw the video "Rump Shaker," has been to a strip club or has seen the majority of hip-hop videos over the years probably has a good idea of what twerking is.
Cyrus' appropriation of the dance for her ratchet makeover (go ahead and Google that) has put a new spotlight on the move, and made it the dance du jour. But before you start taking twerking lessons from your local YMCA or the Internet, you might want to find a better way to invest your time. All signs are pointing to the fact that twerking, while not on its way out, may have already reached its peak:
—A former Disney star has become the poster child for twerking.
—Your Zumba teacher says, "OK ladies — now it's time to twerk!"
—There are twerk dance teams.
—Twerking instructional videos on YouTube have millions of views.
—There are videos of pets twerking with thousands of views.
—Selena Gomez says she taught Ethan Hawke how to do it.
—There's a Wikipedia entry on twerking.
—Rapper Juicy J briefly offered a twerking college scholarship.
—The Associated Press is doing a story on twerking.
More from the Associated Press:
NEW YORK — Miley Cyrus' memorable moment at the MTV Video Music Awards may not have been good for her, but it was great for MTV and social media.
An estimated 10.1 million people watched the annual program Sunday night, up 66 percent over last year for a show that is fueled by the buzz from talked-about moments, the Nielsen company said.
And few were talked about more than the former child star, who twerked, gyrated, stripped and swayed during her moment in the spotlight. Twitter said a new record for tweets per minute — some 306,000 — was set during Cyrus' medley of her own "We Can't Stop" and a duet with Robin Thicke on "Blurred Lines." It broke a record set by Beyonce during her Super Bowl halftime performance.
Cyrus eclipsed Lady Gaga's opening performance of her new single, Katy Perry's closing rendition of her latest hit and Kanye West's artsy set. The 20-year-old even grabbed more attention than Justin Timberlake's reunion with his 'N Sync band mates.
In her eye-popping performance, Cyrus stripped down to a nude bikini, grinded on Thicke and made suggestive moves with a foam hand. The wild child also slapped a girl's butt onstage.
With all the suggestive moves, MTV made one edit: censoring the lyric "Molly" in Cyrus' "We Can't Stop." That's considered a slang reference to the drug Ecstasy.
Within hours, the Buzzfeed site was posting the "15 Weirdest and Craziest Moments" from Cyrus' performance, which was aired live from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
"Amazing. I thought it was awesome," fellow former child star Selena Gomez said backstage of Cyrus' performance. "I love Robin Thicke, too, so I like that they collab'd."
The watchdog group Parents Television Council, which lists Cyrus' dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, on its advisory board, criticized MTV for serving up sex to young viewers.
"How is this image of former child star Miley Cyrus appropriate for 14-year-olds?" said Dan Isett, public policy director for the PTC.
Artist to watch winner Austin Mahone also seemed to enjoy the performance: "I thought it was pretty creative. I thought it was pretty cool."
Brooke Shields, who played Cyrus' mom in a few episodes of "Hannah Montana" on the Disney Channel, took note of that on the "Today" show Monday: "I was Hannah Montana's mom! Where did I go wrong?"
On MSNBC's "Morning Joe," co-host Mika Brzezinski said that the performance was "disgusting and embarrassing," and that people involved should be ashamed.
Though they were attention grabbers and nominated for four moonmen each, Thicke and Cyrus walked away empty-handed Sunday night.
Timberlake earned three awards, including video of the year and best male video for "Mirrors." Days ahead of the VMAs, his rumored reunion with 'N Sync dominated headlines, and he and his former band mates delivered at the awards show.
As Timberlake performed a medley of his solo hits, JC Chasez, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick emerged from the bottom of the stage in suits to sing some lines from their hits "Girlfriend" and "Bye, Bye, Bye." Gomez, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga and possibly the entire venue were giddy as the members of the boy band danced like they did a decade ago. Even rappers Wiz Khalifa and Juicy J admitted on the red carpet they were excited to see 'N Sync hit the stage.
"Half of the moonmen I've ever won, I won with those four guys right there," Timberlake said of his band mates when he accepted the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard award. "So above all else, I'm going to share this — we can keep it my house — but I'm going to share this award with them."
Cyrus wasn't the only pop singer with edge at the VMAs. Swift also turned heads. The 23-year-old, who won best female video, appeared to utter an expletive to Gomez when Swift's rumored ex, One Direction member Harry Styles, was onstage. The boy band also earned boos when it won best song of the summer for "Best Song Ever," beating out Gomez, Thicke, Cyrus, Daft Punk and Calvin Harris.
Rapper A$AP Rocky also provided an awkward moment Sunday when standing next to NBA player Jason Collins, who were both announcing Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' performance. Collins, who is the first active player in the NBA to say he was gay, spoke about coming out as A$AP Rocky looked uncomfortable.
"The next artist is a good friend of mine and he stands up for everything he believes in as far as everybody being equal, color, homosexuality," the rapper said as he pointed to Collins in another awkward moment.
But that was followed with a touching performance of Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' same-sex anthem "Same Love." It featured the song's original vocalist, Mary Lambert, as well as Jennifer Hudson. The video won best video with a social message, while their hit "Can't Hold Us" won best hip-hop video and best cinematography.
"I never dreamt I would be on a stage accepting an award, any of the awards, in particular for that song," Macklemore said of "Same Love" backstage. "It's much bigger than the music. It's equality, so that was the most special for me tonight, but all of them were incredible."
Bruno Mars, who won best male video and choreography for "Treasure," twirled with his two moonmen backstage, while Gomez admitted she thought Thicke's "Blurred Lines" should have won best pop video instead of her seductive "Come & Get It."
Lady Gaga kicked off the awards show in a less dramatic fashion compared with her past performances. She did change her clothes — and hair — various times onstage while dancing and singing her new hit, "Applause." She finished in a thong, revealing her toned body.
Katy Perry closed the VMAs under the Brooklyn bridge in a boxing ring, singing her smash hit "Roar."

Discussion in 'TV, Satellite & Radio' started by MasterShake29, Sep 5, 2009.
a fox soccer apologist, how pathetic.
Yep, I'm a FOX Soccer Channel apologist.
That's why I started a thread called "FOX Soccer Channel Stupidity Thread".
I'm starting to think you should have named it "FOX Soccer Channel: Stupidity Thread."
He's a kid. It's still easy enough to understand his point and that's what matters.
He's a kid? He's been a member for 5 years.
And watches Dream Team?
How about the play by play repeatedly referring to TFC's goalkeeper tonight as Stefan Frei... until I tweet them pointing out that it's actually Jon Conway.
Can't believe no one else is as aggravated as I am about the Serie A commentary blunder yesterday (sat). I don't watch much Serie A but figured Roma v. Inter was good enough reason to watch it. Keith Costigan comes on and goes, now lets send it out to your match commentator Richard Widdle (awesome commentator who does Serie A matches despite sounding like a mix between a Scotsman with an Italian accent or just a leprechaun) only to have Costigan announce the rest of the match which sounded like a really nerdy talking over the match from his mom's basement. I can't stand Costigan and I enjoy Richard Widdle's commentary. Color me double disappointed.
Richard Whittle's pronunciation of Javier Zanetti's name or Cambiasso is worth the price of admission. Costigan? Not so much
Does anyone else who watches FSC on Comcast have a weird reception problem? Every few minutes, there's a very short visual interference with an accoompanying volume decrease. Then over the next few seconds the volume reverts to its prior level. This only happens when I'm watching FSC and no other channel, and happens even when playing back a recording. So I am pretty sure it's not my television. Comcast isn't exactly being helpful...
One meets so few true fools.
FSC quality especially bad today for the Arsenal/Partizan match.
i'm guessing they lost the audio commentary feed. did he mention it at all? I remember this happened to Costigan once a few years ago and he was dreadful.
Wonder if it had to do with the fact that they lost power at the stadium. I even heard Arsenal players had to dress using the lights of their cell phones!
Rogandino's pronunciations on the Champions League Highlights show has always been less than stellar, but one absolutely floored me today - "Mestalla" - you can guess how he pronounced it.
Stupidity: Christian Miles beginning ever FS Match Day by saying there's breaking news from Warren Barton, only to have Warren come on and essentially dish 3-day-old gossip. I've seen them do this in Super Sunday Plus as well.
Well, what was the "news," at least?!
Honestly, you could have stopped right here.
That Warren Barton feels there's unrest in the Liverpool lockerroom and Fernando Torres looks like he wants to leave in January and that Steven Gerrard, as captain, needs to keep the team together. Breaking.
There's really no reason, unless you're some kind of masochist, to watch FSC for anything other than matches and Sky Sports News.
I could just picture Christian Miles breaking the news this morning: Martin O"Neill left Aston Villa. OMG!!!!!
Anyone watch Fox Soccer Tonight - Liverpool v. Blackpool? the editor should be fired.
About 45 minutes of football highlights but they did NOT show Torres being subbed off after 10 minutes AND they didn't show the goal Liverpool scored! How could you put a highlight show together and not show 1 of the goals in a 3 goal match?
Absolute mugs
lol That's hilarious!! I never understood the fundamental concept behind a 45-minute highlight show** but if its not even highlights and just random segments totalling 45 minutes in duration that makes the concept behind the program seem all the more bizarre.
** Notice when you are sifting through a selection of movies to rent the options are generally 1) see preview, 2) watch movie or 3) return to list. There's no "4) see half the movie" nor is option #1 a 45-minute preview.
warren barton: "well they've got a bit of pace, they're well organized, tidy at the back"
what better way to say i've got no idea what i'm talking about
What happened to showing the whole game replayed? They did that last year I thought. It was interesting that on Monday afternoons they would show WPS games the whole way.
Separate names with a comma.

Secretary Cohen: I want to take this occasion to welcome the Minister of Defense Michael Portillo. It's significant that this is an important meeting for him. We had occasion to meet last evening at a working dinner, but I wanted to welcome him here today for a much larger discussion.
Obviously, we have a great deal in common. We have stood shoulder-to- shoulder on issues over the years, in our efforts in two world wars, also in helping to defeat the Cold War, as such, that was launched against the West and others. We now are engaged in a number of activities. Certainly our activities in Bosnia where once again the United Kingdom has worked together jointly with the United States in helping to make sure that there is no further aggression in that region. Also we are working very closely together in Bosnia. So we're going to talk about a number of issues today. We're going to talk about NATO enlargement. We'll also talk about SFOR's role today in Bosnia and a number of other issues that we have in common.
So, it's a great relationship we have with the United Kingdom, and the Defense Minister is a great friend of the United States, and we intend to pursue these issues of mutual concern.
Secretary Portillo: Mr. Secretary, thank you very much. Indeed, I feel welcome.
I'd like to tell you how very much I welcome that. Over the last two years, particularly, our defense policies have been absolutely in-step. I think we have considerable achievements to show for that.
We have been standing literally shoulder-to-shoulder in Bosnia and we've made Bosnia a much safer and a much better place. The killing has stopped, many thousands of lives have been saved, and the democratic political institutions have been created and we hope to ensure their survival as well.
I think you're right to put at the top of our agenda today NATO enlargement. Let's make it clear again, this is not an expansionist drive by NATO. It is rather a response that we make to the legitimate claims that are made by newly democratic countries in Eastern and Central Europe that want to be part of Western institutions. Of course, we should be aware of Russian sensitivities in these matters. Nonetheless, I think we do have a strong moral obligation to respond to those countries' legitimate interests in becoming members of NATO.
Thanks to the steadfastness of the United States and of the United Kingdom, I believe Russia now recognizes that there will be new members of NATO, and Russia is now engaged constructively in creating with us a new NATO/Russia charter. I believe that can be a very important part of the new security architecture of Europe. But, perhaps, the most important element of all in the new security architecture, is the existence of so many new democratic countries, because democratic countries do not go to war with each other. Democratic countries do not invade one another. We must convince Russia that the very undertaking of expanding NATO is one of the things that helps to underpin security and democracy in those newly democratic countries.
Q: Can there be really an ultimate peace in Bosnia as long as the war crimes, the indicted war crimes suspects remain at large? Won't SFOR before next year really have to take some action there?
Secretary Cohen: The apprehension of war criminals is not part of the mission, the military mission. It is a police function, however, and discussions are underway at this time as to how a force can be assembled that would carry out that particular mission, but it is not a military-type mission.
Secretary Portillo: I think it will be, as the Secretary implies, I think it will be very difficult to have a settlement in Bosnia while the people who have been indicted for these war crimes remain at large. Therefore, we shall be working very closely with you on that issue that you just mentioned.
Q: Mr. Portillo, the Secretary has said that after the 18 months in SFOR, the United States will be withdrawing its troops, and that he will be pressing the European allies to take over whatever role needs to remain there in Bosnia thereafter. What is Britain's view on that question?
Secretary Portillo: I think the most important thing, really, is to focus on what we can do over the 18 months of the SFOR mandate; how can we use our presence there to consolidate the democratic institutions and to make sure that Bosnia does not return to killing and to war.
I regard the operation that we're undertaking as being a NATO operation: we went in together; we're working together; and we shall leave together. But, there is still much that we can do during this period of the 18-month mandate, and I believe our discussions today will focus very strongly on that.
Q: Will you two be discussing British/U.S. armaments cooperation at your meeting? The ASRAAM missile competition was last year, and the U.S. did not choose the ASRAAM. Is that one of the things you two will be discussing today?
Secretary Cohen: I'm sure that issue will come up.
Secretary Portillo: Let me make a broader statement, if I may. We enjoy two-way trade with the United States in defense exports. That trade is running, at the moment, about two-to-one in the United States' favor, and we have recently placed orders for about $6 billion of American equipment, so naturally we look for what we call a two-way street, in the jargon. There should be two-way trade and there should be equal opportunities for both sides. So, I will be pressing that point -- a point that I've made before -- and I'm pleased to say that despite our disappointment about the AIM-9X, there are other good British export prospects, and I will take this occasion to mention it to the Secretary.
Q: Do the Europeans intend to continue their dialogue with Iran?
Secretary Portillo: We have absolutely no illusions about Iran. I don't think we really have any difference of perception between Britain and the United States on Iran. The European Union does have a policy of critical dialogue, trying to maintain some sort of engagement with Iran. That is a different methodology from the United States, but I don't think there is any difference whatsoever in our policy. We have no illusions, and we take every opportunity to remind the world that Iran has been involved in the export of terrorism; that Iran is opposed to the Middle East peace process; that Iran is engaged in the development of chemical and nuclear weapons. All of those things are matters of concern to us, just as they are matters of concern to the United States.
Q: Are either, or both, of you concerned about the recent sales agreement between Russia and Syria?
Secretary Cohen: I think any time there are weapons of that caliber being discussed going from Russia to Iran or to Syria, to the Middle East, there is great concern on the part of the United States, and we have expressed our concerns about reports pertaining to sophisticated weaponry going to the Middle East region.
Secretary Portillo: I would echo that.
Press: Thank you

I went into my pack of Centenial POP last weekend and found the edge was brown. Some discoloration in the center. Exposing it to sunlight and the rest of the process cleared or hid the color. Is this normal?
It has been stored in the origanal container and below 65F. I have now put it in the freezer.

58: Why Do You Love Me?
|Why Do You Love Me?
Title text: Opening dialogue by Scott
[edit] Explanation
Cueball asks "Why do you love me?" to Megan, a fairly common question that couples ask each other. She responds "My heart never gave me a choice", a seemingly very sentimental, romantic answer. However, after a beat panel she effectively kills the romance of the moment by adding, "I wish it had", indicating that she would rather not have loved Cueball.
Scott appears to be a friend of Randall Munroe. Comics 57 through 59 all have the title text Opening dialogue by Scott, forming a sort of informal mini-series inspired by him. They are:
- 57: Wait For Me
- 58: Why Do You Love Me?
- 59: Graduation
As there already was a comic released on Monday that week, the first of these three were released already on Tuesday, then Wednesday and Friday.
[edit] Transcript
- [Cueball and Megan are having a conversation.]
- Cueball: Why do you love me?
- Megan: I don't know; my heart never gave me a choice.
- Cueball: Aww.
- [No dialogue.]
- Megan: I wish it had.

I figure 95% of the population will agree with the fact that the last panel "kills the moment".
But, I think there's an alternative way to interpret this too: If Megan mentions "I wish it had" as a prelude to "Then I'd be able to give you a better answer, as to why I picked you...", would atleast 5% of the population would agree that it embellishes the moment?184.108.40.206 03:01, 3 June 2013 (UTC) : I actually understood the "aww" as "I'm sad, you didn't really choose me" and then the last panel is Megan trying to save the day.

/ Restoring the Gulf
The Gulf of Mexico is a national treasure. The Gulf ecosystem hosts a diverse array of habitats from coral reefs and hyper-saline lagoons to emergent wetlands and vast sea grass meadows. The land area of the Gulf's five states — Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas — encompasses more than 290 million acres. Consequently, the management of private agricultural lands tremendously influences the health of the region's industry, tourism and natural resources, especially when it comes to the quality and quantity of water needed to keep the Gulf of Mexico alive.
The health of the Gulf of Mexico region has deteriorated significantly — from the loss of critical wetland habitats and imperiled fisheries to water quality degradation and significant coastal land loss. Amplifying this, the Gulf Coast region has endured significant natural and man-made catastrophes in the last decade, including major hurricanes and the 2010 Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill.
Governments and entities at the local, state and federal levels, including NRCS, are working to improve the Gulf ecosystem. NRCS works with farmers, ranchers and forest landowners to improve the health of this critical ecosystem through an incentive-based, voluntary approach. Following the oil spill, USDA serves on the Natural Resource Damage Assessment Trustee Council and the Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council, working collaboratively with other governments and entities on strategies to aid restoration of this ecosystem.
Download the strategy document here.
UPDATE: USDA Submits Five Project Proposals to RESTORE Council
USDA submitted a number of proposals to the Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council, or RESTORE Council, for consideration for the first round of funding. About $150 million to $240 million will be available in this round of funding, and each of the 10 council members, including USDA, was asked to submit projects for the draft Funded Priorities List.
USDA projects include:
See the full list of proposals on the draft Funded Priorities List.
RELEASE: USDA Announces New Partnership with NFWF to Support Ongoing Gulf Restoration
This partnership will provide additional support for restoration of the Gulf of Mexico ecosystem in response to impacts that occurred as a result of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon explosion and oil spill. Read more.
Financial Assistance: Farmers, ranchers and forest landowners can receive financial assistance from NRCS to make improvements to their land.
Get Started: This step-by-step guide helps farmers and ranchers know what to expect when seeking assistance from NRCS.

By: Eddie Garcia, KOB Eyewitness News 4
KOB Eyewitness News 4 took a trip around the city to look at places that got snow and places that got missed.
In the early morning hours snow fell in Albuquerque.
Snow covered the Northeast Heights near Eubank and Academy, and drivers had an extra chore Thursday morning before hitting the roads - clearing the snow off their cars - but all they really needed was a good broom to do that.
"This is like the most snow I've seen here in this part of town," said Northeast Heights resident Natalie Chiha.
Chiha was surprised this morning to find out not everyone got the snow.
"I called my friend and was like are you going to work? And he said yeah, why wouldn't I be so you know," she said.
"And he lives in a different part of town?" Garcia asked.
"Yeah, he lives near UNM," she replied.
There were areas even drier than campus.
And on the Westside near Paradise and Golf Course, there was no sign of snow except when looking toward the mountains. It's a world of difference just across the river
Some here felt jilted by the snow, while others farther south got a mixed bag.
Downtown Albuquerque rooftops got some snow, but not too much on the ground - relatively dry.
Overall, it was a moderate storm for Albuquerque, but it was the best snow the Duke City has seen all season.

What just happened?
To celebrate Vikings Live, we have replaced our Roman alphabet with the runic alphabet used by the Vikings, the Scandinavian 'Younger Futhark'. The 'Younger Futhark' has only 16 letters, so we have used some of the runic letters more than once or combined two runes for one Roman letter.
For an excellent introduction to runes, we recommend Martin Findell's book published by British Museum Press.

3D models of the gods of the Parthenon frieze
3D models of the Olympian gods
The Olympian gods, originally carved in low relief in the east frieze of the Parthenon, can be seen here transformed into three-dimensional models as part of a research project by colleagues at the Tokyo University of the Arts. They are currently on display in Room 18a with bilingual commentary in English and Japanese.
The project team was led by Toshihiro Osada and Rui Nakamura, and the models were principally made by Ryo Kimoto and Kota Kato.
This is the latest episode in a 20 year long collaboration between Tokyo and London.

New board member surprised by opposition
Mike Lee, one of three newly elected members of the Durham Public Schools Board of Education, on Friday seemed shocked.
The night before, three board members – two of them on their way out – showed "fierce opposition" to a plan to let Lee and his fellow newcomers take part in the superintendent search process.
Lee defeated Omega Curtis Parker for the District 1 seat on May 6. He said he expected a divided vote, but nothing like what he saw from his predecessor (who offered to quit now rather than waiting) and Fredrick Davis (who wondered if he'd be breaking the law by refusing to participate).
"I was surprised it was so vicious," Lee said. "It was more vicious than I thought it would be."
The board voted 4-3 on Thursday to allow Lee, Sendolo Diaminah and Matt Sears to sign confidentiality agreements and join the process in a non-voting, advisory capacity.
Davis, Parker and Minnie Forte-Brown, the board's vice chair, voted against the idea.
"It's disappointing they didn't want new board members to even listen to the interviews," said Lee, who thinks opposition was driven by egos and an effort to cling to power as some members cycle off the board.
"I just want to hear the answers," he said. "I want to listen to the person I'm going to be helping lead the school district. I don't have to say anything."
The pushback on the proposal also surprised Chairwoman Heidi Carter.
"I expected it would be a fairly quick vote with two different perspectives or we would just come together on it," she said on Friday.
Despite the contentious debate Thursday, Carter's confident the board will unify to pick the best person for the job.
"This board has demonstrated that it can have vigorous debate about an issue and, once the decision is made, board members respect that decision," she said.
However, Davis said he wouldn't participate in the process if newly elected members join the board during interviews with superintendent candidates.
That, Carter said, would be disappointing.
"It's very important to me to have the wisdom and perspective of those currently serving in the role of school board members," Carter said.
Board member Natalie Beyer said she favored the chance to build a bridge between new and old members, allowing for more community input on an important decision.
"If we include them in an advisory role, that's reflective of the voters and the citizens of this community," Beyer said. "If we don't, I think that doesn't send the best message about collaboration to our candidates for the superintendent job and about the health and functionality of this board and this community."
Forte-Brown said allowing the newly elected members into the process sets a bad precedent.
"Their job is to work with the superintendent, regardless of who it is," she said. "Regardless of whether you have input on who the superintendent is, your job as a board member is to forge a relationship with that person."
Sears, who won the District 3 seat and replaces Nancy Cox, wouldn't talk about the board's heated debate.
However, he did say he is "excited about being a part of the process."
"One of the primary responsibilities on the board is to supervise the person that comes out of this process," he said. "I am confident candidates will want to talk with and get to know the board that will be providing supervision and feedback over the next several years."
Diaminah, the victor in the District 2 race to replace Davis, was the only board newcomer to attend Thursday's meeting.
Diaminah said in an interview during a break in the meeting that he agrees with supporters of the proposal that it "would be best if we could all participate."

Developing for the iPhone - what you need to know
They say the future is mobile. (Ed. Two years on since originally writing this post, it almost seems like the future is here. We might have all missed the App Store gold rush, but app development for mobile is still exciting and now there's Android, Windows Phone 7 and iPads to think about.)
So, I'm quite excited to learn about developing for this new platform and see what I can create. Will I be able to use my existing web development and programming skills, or will I need to learn a new set of skills. This is what I've learnt so far about what I'll need to know.
There are two options when developing for the iPhone (or iPod touch): Develop a web application or develop a native iPhone application. There are plusses and minuses for both, and both require a completely different set of skills. Until recently you could only develop web applications, but Apple has recently released a beta of the iPhone SDK building up towards the planned opening of the iPhone App Store.
Developing a web based iPhone application
If you're a web developer like me, then this is going to be the easiest and possibly best option. You can use your existing web development skills and you can host your application on your current server.
I bought myself an iPod touch using the excuse that it would help me test websites on the iPhone. They're the same except the iPod touch doesn't have all the applications the iPhone does (most notably, and understandably the phone application). However, I've discovered that you don't even need an iPod touch. The iPhone Software Development Kit (SDK) includes an iPhone simulator. You will need a Mac though to run the SDK.
If you have an existing web application, it will probably already work on the iPhone, unless it uses Flash or a few other non-supported technologies. There are several things you could do to make it work better on an iPhone, some of these things will be helpful for other mobile devices.
You can add an iPhone, or small screen specific style sheet. This will allow you to lay things out better for the available screen size. You may also wish to take advantage of some Safari and iPhone specific CSS. For example there's CSS support for simple animation and transitions.
You may wish to detect that the browser is on an iPhone and serve them a specialised version. Facebook is an excellent example of this and creates an experience that is very similar to using a native iPhone application.
You can make use of iPhone JavaScript handlers that respond to touch gestures. The touch interface is one of the things that makes the iPhone shine, so it'd be great to take advantage of this in your web apps.
There are also some custom meta tags which allow you to control the screen area and whether the user can zoom. You can also add custom links that will launch other iPhone applications. You can even store data in a client side SQLite database, which is apparently part of the HTML 5 spec.
There's a lot you can do and that just scratches the surface. Using and building upon you existing HTML, CSS and JavaScript knowledge you could make something very exciting.
Now that all sounds great, but there are limitations with an iPhone web app. Firstly it's not going to work when the user is offline, and it's going to be slow when their connection is slow. You're also not going to be able to access all of the features of the device such as its location awareness, orientation awareness or be able to access things like the address book. If you want to make use of all the power and all the features then you're going to have to make a fully native iPhone application.
Developing a native iPhone application
If you've previously developed software for Apple Macs then you're probably going to find you can quite easily turn those skills to iPhone development. If you haven't then there's a lot your going to need to learn. It's aimed at software developers, rather than web developers and the skills needed are very different.
Before you begin there are a few things you will need. You'll need a Mac, you'll need to download the iPhone Software Development Kit (SDK) and it'd help for testing if you had a iPhone or an iPod touch (this last bit isn't essential as there is a simulator).
The SDK includes all the tools you'll need to develop iPhone applications. These tools include an interface designer, a code editor, profiling tools and an iPhone simulator. They're completely free, but there is an option to join the iPhone Developer Program. This costs $99. As far as I can tell, you need to join this if you wish to share your applications with anyone. Otherwise you can only install your programs on one designated test iPhone. I've also read in forums that the Developer Program is so popular that Apple are putting everyone on a waiting list. I thought I'd wait till I created a program worth sharing before I joined the program. There's a lot to learn before I can even think about doing this.
If you've not done Mac development before, the first you'll need to learn is the programming language Objective C. Knowing PHP and JavaScript, probably isn't going to help you that much, although it'd be a start. It's most similar to C and C++, although knowing something like Java, Ruby on Rails, or ASP.NET would also be helpful. Although I've used C++ in the past and currently use ASP.NET, I've found Objective C too different to be able to pick up from code samples. I'm currently reading Apple's reference guide to it and I've been reccommended the book Programming in Objective C.
You'll also need a good understanding of object orientated programming. If you've used Ruby on Rails, you'll be pleased to know that they seem to make heavy use of the Model View Controller architecture that Rails is built on.
All the actual fun stuff seems to be contained in the various frameworks that provide the iPhone functions and features that your application can use. I've not had time to explore this fully as learning Objective C has slowed me down a bit. These frameworks seem to be the Foundation Framework, UIKit and the Cocoa Touch Framework. You'll need to understand the basics of these frameworks so you can start making use of the functions they provide.
Once you've got your head round Objective C you can start looking through all the code examples they've got. It's probably a good way to start understanding how all the framework features work.
If you want to find out more, the iPhone Dev Centre has load of videos, reference material and code samples to work through:

Thanks for this, it as really helped. I too am a web developer and I'm interested in making a web application on the i-phone. It seems like I have to get a MAC first though!
Todd Baxter said
Thanks for the information. I am really interested in the iphones and Ipads touch features. I have an autistic son, and want to develop apps that will help both him and other children with this condition. Going to go with what you shown me and learn objective C and then worry about how I will afford the Mac and Ipad later.. Thanks for the information.
Alwin Tyanto Ikhsan said
Wow, that was a great article. Iam very interested in developing iphone software. but i have some question Is it OK to not joining iphone developing program that will cost me $99? Since iam a college student, i will spend my money wisely. I already learn a lot about C and C++ but i know nothing about Objective C, should i learn that first? thanks a lot
Richard said
Alwin, you can try before you buy. You can download the development kit and use their emulator. You won't be able to test it on a real device though. To test on a real device and to put your app in the app store you will need to pay to join the full programme.
Pranav said
Hey Richard, Nice writeup, thanks for you effort! It was really helpful! I am also a web developer, was looking for a starting point with iPhone apps, and this was a good one! Pranav
QuasiProgrammer said
Thanks Richard for such a "One Stop Shop" for introduction to Iphone development. What do you mean by when you say that "to test on a real device and to share your application, you have to buy that membership"? Can't you test your application on your iphone? Why share? For the purpose of learning to build your first iphone application so that you can have the confidence that you know how to build the application, isn't the basic stuff sufficient: such as a Mac, iphone SDK, frameworks, iphone? One can then advance the skills and then can join the iphone developer's program. What do you think?
Richard said
QuasiProgrammer, You can only test your app using the emulator running on your mac. You can't run it on any phone, even your own, without paying Apple some money. I'd learn using the emulator first though and wait till you have something worth sharing till you pay for membership and test it on an actual phone.
ipdove said
Very nice stuff here, thanks. shame you have to have a MAC. I've been trying to get away from windows for a number of years and run Ubuntu for most stuff, but there always seems to be that one piece of indispensible software that relies on windows. Mind you, what you say about keeping the application server side makes a lot of sense, at least that way your app isn't 'tied' to only the iPhone other 'web' enabled smartphones can use it, downside being of course your data connection.
surafel said
i'm interested on developing iphone apps, but i don't have mac, is there any means that i'm able to develope apps for iphone using my pc?
Richard said
Surafel, You need a mac to develop a native iPhone app, but you don't if you want to develop a web based iPhone app.
Alan said
@Richard - that is not true - you can install onto your OWN device, i.e. iTouch, iPad, iPhone etc. as long as you register it with Apple and create a certificate. This can be done by signing up to the developer program with Apple, which you have to do to download the XCode etc. anyway - You do NOT need to join the PAID program. I install happily on both my iTouch and iPhone. Additionally - you can go the route I did, rather than get a Mac you can get a hackintosh :) Bought a Dell mini 10V on e-bay and a copy of Snow Leopoard and I am happily developing.
Joey Funderburk said
Hi im an apple developer who is in the middle of learning objective-c. I highly recommend you read Apple's iOS Human Interface Guidelines. It has been a huge help for me. Also if you are serious about creating apps for the app store, you will defiantly want to test your app on an iPhone, iPod, and iPad, depending on what platform you have created it for. If you create an advance gaming app like a role playing game (RPG) game then you will defiantly want to test your app on an iPad 2 or iPhone 4 because they have new hardware sensors that will benefit your RPG game app. I also highly recommend watching the WWDC 2011 session videos they are VERY helpful. I recommend learning objective-c before you buy $99 membership fee. This fall when they release the new iOS 5 operating system, you will be able to update your iOS device for free and you will be able to get the iOS 5 SDK free with out the membership. You will however have to have the new Lion OS X operating system which you can get off the App Store for $30 dollars. I highly recommend getting Lion it is really cool.
Thank You for listening,
Joey Funderburk <><

I am looking to make an app and have the ideas etc but no ICT know how at all! I was wondering whether you knew any one that makes apps for people based on their ideas at a good rate? I know its probably a long shot but would be grateful for any knowledge.
Richard said
@julia if you have no ICT knowledge at all I'd be very cautious about starting an app project without trying to educate yourself first.
People are often surprised by how long software projects can take. You need a well specified small project to be able to control costs and it's not something that you should jump into lightly.
So, choose your best idea. Keep it simple and create some paper based prototypes.
You can then use those prototypes to get people's opinions on your idea and to explain it better to others. An opinion of a prototype is not a reliable way to judge how much people will like your app. They're often nicer and more forgiving than they would be of the final thing, so don't get caught up in the hype. It is a good start though.
Then when you're ready try going to a local geeky networking event to meet some developers and talk with them about your ideas.

Colorado Springs, Colo. - Nicholas Kipruto was honored for the second time this year as the Mountain West Cross Country Athlete of the Week, announced league officials on Tuesday. He was joined by TCU junior Agnes Kemboi on the women's side. Kipruto also earned the honor back on September 6.
Kipruto, from Kericho, Kenya, placed seventh at the Adidas/Notre Dame Invitational last weekend, finishing the five-mile course in 24:12.0. It marked the fifth time in his last seven races that Kipruto has finished in the top 10, and the sixth time in the last seven events that he has finished within the top 20 competitors. Kipruto's time was 13 seconds off the lead.
Hailing from Eldoret, Kenya, Kemboi earned runner-up honors at the Cowboy Jamboree last Saturday in Stillwater, Okla., covering the 5K course in 17:11.62. That mark is a personal-best time for Kemboi and ranks as the fastest 5K time in the Mountain West this season. By placing second overall at the OSU Cross Country Course, Kemboi recorded the Horned Frogs' top finish on the women's side of the event since Gladys Keitany won the Cowboy Jamboree in 2000.

Works for me
Love this helmet - easy to adjust, well vented and looks cool. Replaced a large Specialized helmet with a large in the Catlike Whisper Plus. I've also got a large Giro mountain bike helmet . All three work ok for my head. I've had less luck in the past with Giro Atmos - for me the top of the helmet pushed down on the top of my head. Shape seems to vary by manufacturer, so hopefully this is helpful.

New Mexico Lobos Volleyball – 2013 Season Review
By Richard Stevens – Senior Writer/GoLobos.com
There was really no riddle to solve in figuring out how to slow down Jeff Nelson's Lobo volleyball team in 2013. Well, no mystery at the beginning of it all.
The opposition had to figure out a way to slow down All-American Chantale Riddle, who went into her junior year targeted as one of the more dangerous smash-mouth netters in the game.
The task of stopping Riddle was difficult enough for any front line. And then it got even more difficult for New Mexico opponents because a whole lot of other – and young – Lobos raised their games to high levels.
Sure, it was a UNM team led by a star up front and a savvy senior on the back row (Miquella Lovato), but like all athletic teams these Lobos were not going to go anywhere unless they came together as a cohesive unit embracing a shared goal: to be excellent.
Riddle was wet-leather tough. The New Mexico team was tougher. Senior Miquella Lovato was no surprise because she had been excellent as a junior and was expected to throw out another All-Mountain West performance in 2013. And she did. Nelson also had strong splashes of talent and experience returning from a solid 2012 team.
But what would all these young Lobos do in 2013? Would they mesh? Would they be fierce? Would they buckle to the long grind and harsh demands of a D-I season?
Here's one answer: Nelson's 2013 Lobos finished 24-7 which is the most wins by the program since 1988.
Here's another answer: The Lobos matched their highest finish in the Mountain West finishing second to a sizzling Colorado State team that rolled out a program-record 28-2 mark (19-1 in MW). UNM's 14 league wins is the most in Lobo history.
Here's a third answer: Nelson's Lobos won .774 percent of their games – the highest Nelson win percentage in 18 seasons as a head coach.
"There is no question this was a special season for us," said Nelson. "They posted a great record and that speaks to our leadership and the drive the kids have to excel and compete. Everyone involved with this program is so proud of the accomplishments of this group. They have put up some huge numbers and broken some records.
"They also have set a standard for what is expected next season."
Nelson went into the 2013 season expecting quite a few things. He knew he had a core of proven ability, especially behind Riddle and Lovato and also behind sophomore setter, Hannah Johnson. He knew he had athletes who were aggressive and quick.
But he also knew he had a lot of youth and youth is mostly potential until you see what it can do on the court against other D-1 talent. Nelson saw good things on the court. The freshman class touted as UNM's "best ever" turned potential into points and victories.
It's impossible to reflect back on the 2013 season and not mesmerize on the talent and the stats smashed out by Riddle. She was vicious at the net – a finisher with 468 kills. Do you think the Lobos' opponents didn't know where the heat would be coming from on UNM's side of the net? Riddle had 1,203 attempts. The next most active UNM attacker was Julia Warren with 618 attacks.
Riddle also played defense. She had 240 digs and 104 blocks. She produced 544 points for UNM. Lexi Ross was next with 302 points off 222 kills, 120 blocks and 57 digs.
"Chantale had another exceptional year for us," said Nelson. "Everybody looks at her kills and how dynamic a force she is at the net, but she is one of the more complete, all-around players in the nation. We are so excited to have her back for one more year. She is such an amazing athlete."
Riddle's net kills actually went down in 2013 from the 515 she smashed in 2012. This was because there was nice balance for Nelson along the front line. He had Ross with 222 kills, Warren with 222, Cassie House with 218 and Skye Gullatt with 111 kills plus 110 blocks. Warren had 231 digs. Nelson's front line was bulging with talent.
Johnson was outstanding as a setter floating up 1,220 assists (third all-time on the UNM single-season list). "Hannah is a truly complete setter," said Coach Nelson. "She digs, blocks, and runs the show for our team."
Johnson joined Lovato as rocks on the back line. Lovato topped the team with 537 digs followed by Johnson with 324. The backline had depth in Lena Skipper with 134 digs and Maddie Mayfield with 109. Johnson also was in on 75 blocks.
The talent on the Lobos' squad was reflected in the selection of the All-Mountain West Team. UNM placed Riddle, Warren, Johnson and Lovato on that team and Warren was named the Mountain West Freshman of the Year. UNM tied CSU with four players on the squad.
Lovato, a 5-foot-2 libero from Pojoaque, finished second in the Mountain West with 537 digs -- a total that puts her second on the UNM single-season list. Her 14 aces were third on the team, and her 105 assists were second. For her career, Lovato finished with 1,397 digs, putting her fourth on the career UNM list.
Riddle, who led the Mountain West in kills and points, also was named to the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) All-Pacific South Region Team and was Third Team AVCA All-American. She is the seventh New Mexico player to earn AVCA All-America honors and the first since 2008 when Jeanne Fairchild was named Third Team.
Riddle will take 1,182 kills into her senior year and is only 397 off the program's record of 1,579.
"Chantale is so deserving of All-Amercan honors," said Coach Nelson. "She has been the premier offensive player in our conference for two seasons and we expect her to take her game to even another level in her senior year.
"I am so proud of my entire team for the great season they put together and for being tough at the end of the year with some injuries and still winning and coming up second in the Mountain West," said Nelson. "The girls have so much to be proud of."

Liposome-linear polyethyleneimine (PEI)-DNA nanocomplexes have shown to be effective non-viral gene delivery vectors. In the present study, we tried to improve the transfection efficiency of these nanocomplexes by liposome modification. For this purpose, the lipopolymer was prepared by the conjugation of hexylacrylate to the PEI. Liposomes comprising lipopolymer and DOTAP (1.2-DiOleoyl-3-Trimethyl Ammonium-Propane) were prepared and extruded through polycarbonate filters to obtain the desired size. The 2.5, 25 and 250 KDa molecular weights of linear PEI have been used in order to prepare modified liposome-PEI-DNA nanocomplexes. Three C/P ratios of each nancomplex were premixed. Size, zeta potential and the DNA condensation ability of these complexes were determined separately, and in the end, the transfection efficiency and cell cytotoxicity of prepared vectors were evaluated on Neuro2A cell line. Mean particle size of all of these nanocomplexes was lower than 220 nm with surface charge of 17.5 to 25.9 mV. The lipopolyplexes (comprising modified liposome:PEI:DNA), modified liposome (as lipoplex) and PEI 250KDa (as polyplex) showed the highest transfection efficacy. This activity was amplified by increase carrier to plasmid (C/P) ratio. In addition, the metabolic activity of prepared vectors was 80-100% for control group. In conclusion, the prepared lipopolyplexes showed high ability to enhance gene transfer.

SEO has changed a lot over the last 10 years or so, but for all that change the core principles of SEO have stayed the exact same. You see the entire Google algorithm is based on a few basic elements such as what the links pointing to your page say about it, the actual number of those links and then how the words on your page relate to the text of the incoming links. That's it. For all the loopholes and "secret techniques" that the so-called SEO gurus out there keep trying to sell you, the heart of the Google algorithm isn't ever going to change. So if you want to improve your search engine website ranking then being creative at the basics of SEO is usually enough to get the rankings you need.
Let's take a look at the factors you need to focus on in terms of improving the ranking of your website.
External Links
Incoming links to your site are what the original Google algorithm was based on and it's still extremely relevant today – don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Without getting into a huge amount of detail about building links to your site what you need to know is that your backlink profile (the number and type of links your site has) needs to be very diverse. So in an ideal world your backlinks would be made up of links from article sites, social bookmarking, free and paid directories, some high PageRank sites, YouTube videos, web 2.0 sites, guest blogging links, press release links, links from forums you participate in, RSS feed links etc, etc. Focus on diversity and focus on quality and you should have absolutely no problem at all.
Internal Links
If there's any one single aspect of SEO which is under utilized by people trying to rank in the search engines it's in the area of using your own linking power. What this means is that you can and should be creating links from your own pages to other pages on your site. Let's say for example Page A (a sub-page) on your site is all about natural acne treatments and the homepage of your site needs some extra link juice. All you need to do is create a link from Page A to your homepage with anchor text that you want your homepage to rank for e.g. best acne treatments. A link from within your own site can be just as powerful as any external link.
The days of being able to use badly spun PLR content or some rubbish article you paid $2 for are over. Finished. Done. Google hire real human beings to perform a quality check on websites these days and although they can't check every single site in their index you still need to be aware of this. If your site (or sites) get flagged as having spun content or poorly written content you can kiss any website rankings you have goodbye – you'll be bumped so far back down in the SERPS you're likely to appear in an alternate universe.
Don't get me wrong here – I know SEO is FAR more difficult that it ever has been before in the history of the SEO business but the reality is that unless Google scraps its entire algorithm then high-quality incoming links, solid internal linking practices and providing great content should be enough to improve your rankings for the foreseeable future.

Yes, if it's after 11:30 p.m. this evening (Monday) and you're still up and you're on Rainier Avenue, that really is (was) a 1946 Ercoupe taxing toward the Holiday Inn.
The Ercoupe, a low-wing monoplane which is being renovated at the Renton Municipal Airport, is part of the celebration surrounding the relaunch of the Holiday Inn Hotel in Renton, which has undergone an extensive renovation in recent months.
The relaunch Tuesday is invitation-only.
The plane will taxi down Airport Way to Rainier Avenue and then to the Holiday Inn.
Also on display Tuesday is a 10-foot model of the "Seattle" Douglas World Cruiser, which flew around the world in 1924.
This article was originally published in the Renton Reporter on October 11, 2010.

While it's tough to imagine life without freezers, refrigerators and air conditioners, we also need to keep in mind that the refrigerants used in them can be very harmful to the environment.
"It was a huge issue years ago, especially when they started realizing that the chemicals being used in these units, if the lines were cut, it was creating an impact on the ozone layer. So now there are pretty strict laws in place for how you handle it and documentation you need to have that shows that you properly did handle it along with certifications to pass on with the units before they can be properly recycled," said Broome County Materials Recovery Manager Debra Smith.
The Broome County Landfill makes sure the old units are correctly handled.
"We do have a program set up at the landfill, so we do accept refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners and dehumidifiers on a routine basis and then we have certified staff that will remove the Freon and other refrigerants from them. From there they get sent to a scrap metal dealer for recycling," said Smith.
There is a charge to drop items that contain refrigerants at the landfill. The minimum fee is $10 and the tip fee per ton is $45.
Refrigerators and freezers must have the doors removed from them because of safety reasons.
The units are accepted during normal landfill hours.

Let's liven up the Wilson station with a soundstage and French MarketJeffrey Littleton, August 16, 2012
As the Wilson CTA station is designed and rebuilt in 2012 and 2013, we should include a small sound stage in the historic Gerber building at Wilson and Broadway. This may sound like an odd idea, but please allow me to explain.
- The stage would complement the proposed French Market (more on that below) by slowing down traffic long enough for CTA riders to patronize the vendors.
- It would brand Uptown as a live music district as the Mayor has proposed and the people of Uptown support. It would be like the small stages that enliven the airport in Austin, Texas. Wilson station is our airport, our gateway, with 6,100 incoming passengers each weekday.
- It would provide gigs and exposure for local musicians. Performances would be at rush hours, which typically would not conflict with a gig later that night.
- Musicians who would never play in a public setting will have a place to play. To perform on CTA property right now requires a license from the city. The great majority of musicians do not have this permit and will never apply for one.
The Gerber Building with its original arch. (Drawing by Jeffrey Littleton)
As riders at Wilson know, there is plenty of room in the Gerber building to add both the stage and the French Market. If designed into the project from the beginning, it would cost next to nothing. It should be large enough to accommodate a trio or quartet, and include a storage closet nearby for music stands, stools and the like. If possible we could have an upright piano that rolls in and out. Perfectly fine vintage upright pianos are available on Craigslist for free or a pittance, transport being the only hurdle.
The stage would be administered by a soon-to-be-created local arts council, which would lease the space from the CTA ($1 a month?) and do the bookings.
It would be available to all musicians, including for example a classical violinist in his/her last year of grad school at Northwestern, a jazz saxophonist from Columbia College, a local professional musician, or touring musicians in Chicago.
Some gigs could be paid, funded by the French Market or through grants and fundraising activities of the local arts council. But it would not be a big-buck job, rather supplemental income for the musicians, who would gain exposure to a large general audience.
A positive vibe
Adding a soundstage to the Gerber building will promote the cultural development of the Uptown community, attract artists of all stripes, and generate a positive vibe.
It will improve the experience of catching the train at Wilson, incentivize more ridership which would mean fewer cars on local streets, and create more customers for the French Market ensuring fewer vendor vacancies.
It would be the perfect complement to the previously announced renovation of the Gerber building's greyish blue terracotta facade, which will be beautiful once repaired and cleaned of rust and grime. Also the original arch is supposed to be restored to its former glory.
And the French Market, by bringing produce and food vendors into the same space as the musical performances, would create a genuine community space and a nexus for positive interactions. By supporting multiple vendors rather than a few national chains, the station would reflect the diverse population of Uptown, become a safe and inviting location, and become something much more than a place of ingress and egress.
Wilson station needs advocates. Those who would like to see a soundstage and French Market, please make your voices heard.

Try these exercises to help shoulder the load
Pain of the lead shoulder and elbow are very common in golfers of all ages.
Muscular imbalances and poor movement patterns lead to poor shoulder positioning throughout the swing, making you less efficient.
Inefficient shoulder and elbow posture during impact increases torque on joints and that overuse can result in stiffness and pain, and overtime can develop into a tendonitis.
To help prevent this, the rotator cuff must be strong enough to control the rotational forces of the shoulder and absorb "fat" and "thin" shots.
Also, it's important to strengthen the muscles surrounding the scapula (shoulder blade). These muscles anchor your shoulder blade to your rib cage and spine and create stability.
Here's how to do both:
To improve rotator cuff strength, lie on your side, and bend your top elbow so now the top arm is bent at 90 degrees with hand resting on belly button.
Now keep your top elbow against your ribs, make a fist, and rotate the back of your hand up to the sky while maintaining the elbow against the ribs and with the same amount of bend. Perform this on both shoulders until you can complete 50 without burn.
To increase scapular stability, stand facing a wall with your forehead on a wall. Put your arms overhead as if to signal a touchdown in football. Position your thumbs perpendicular to the wall. At this point, your arms should be resting on the wall with elbows straight. Now maintain your forehead on the wall and lift your arms as far away from the wall as possible without bending elbows. Repeat 20 times.
