Adam Levine's fiancee is about to get a lot of Instagram followers if she keeps posting photos like this!
Model Behati Prinsloo posted the photo above of the Maroon 5 frontman sporting nothing more than black briefs, sunglasses and some serious swagger.
"70's porn called. It wants it's vibe back. Immediately," the 24-year-old said about her man.
The model and the singer announced their engagement back in July after secretly getting back together.
"He was a stand-up guy, called my dad, called my mom. He did the whole thing," Behati said of the proposal. Adding, "We're happy to start this new chapter of our lives together."
And with photos like this, it looks like it could be an interesting chapter!

FREEPORT, Maine -- Chef Masa Miyake has been cooking in restaurants since he was 16, now he is realizing another dream of his, raising many breeds of animals he cannot find for his restaurants in his own backyard farm.
"Farming is more work. More difficult," he admits, but says there is a certain type of satisfaction that comes from growing your own produce and nurturing livestock that is served at your table.
"Customer says thanks so much, delicious. I'm happy," he said.
Miyake has two restaurants in Portland, and soon will be opening a third, so he knows there is no way he could ever produce enough meat and vegetables to serve his hungry customers.
"We are interested in producing things that we are unable to get anywhere else right now," explained his farm manager, Emily Phillips. "The restaurant-farm relationship is very different than just a small local farm."
"The way that the restaurants support the farm, and the way that the farm feeds back into the restaurants is a very delicate balance," she added.
"I may be crazy, but I am a chef, so I want good products - meat and vegetables - as much as I can," said Miyake. "I'm enjoying it, so that's great."

Comments about Bomber Gear Bombanation Short:
Wore these for 7 days in a row paddling my kayak on the Middle Fork of the Salmon River in July. This is hot weather, cold water wilderness trip and the Bombanation Shorts helped keep my core warm as I splashed through days of continuous whitewater. I rinsed them out every evening and they were dry and ready to go by morning. Love the look of board shorts with the warmth of neoprene. Got to figure out how to keep the laces out of the Velcro fly enclosure before the laces become completely shredded. Otherwise, perfect!

WADDINGTON The Town Council and its Recreation Commission are reviewing their hiring policy following claims from residents that the process was not transparent.
At Mondays board meeting, several residents voiced their disapproval of the hiring process for caretaker of the town beach.
Two applicants, Gerald Dow and Patty Cummings, applied for the Recreation Commissions seasonal caretaker position earlier this year.
Mr. Dow was interviewed and appointed to the position in April, and already has moved into the town trailer near the beach. He is set to begin work Monday.
Some residents told council members Monday that it was unethical for Mr. Dow to be hired for the position without a vote in public. Ms. Cummings, they said, was not interviewed by the Recreation Commission.
Katherine R. Lynch, a friend of Ms. Cummings, said at the meeting that the hiring was not announced.
As a taxpayer, I deserve answers, she said. The democratic process was not gone through. No one government official can unilaterally make this decision. There was no transparency during this process at all.
Ms. Cummings, who also attended the meeting, said there also should have been a background check.
This person is from out of town, she said. They are around our children every day. We dont know who they are.
Town Supervisor Mark Scott said Tuesday that it is not uncommon for recreation employees to be hired directly by the recreation director without a vote or a background check.
Historically, the Recreation Commission is independent of the towns standard hiring practices, he said. The relationship between the town board and the Recreation Commission was formed years ago through a dual municipal agreement. But I dont know of any written policies when it comes to the hiring of personnel.
The position, which pays $180 a week, is funded by the town and runs through mid-October.
Recreation Commission Director Russell B. Strait, who hired Mr. Dow, said he was aware of the residents complaints.
But he said he strongly denies any unethical behavior because there are no hiring policies set in place for the commission.
I admit we should have had a better employment application process, and I should have insisted on a vote before the hiring, he said. Were going to make sure we have a revised application for employment and policies as we move forward.
He said Mr. Dow was chosen based on his background and availability, which Mr. Strait said was noted as a plus after he reviewed the applications.
Mr. Dow is a retiree who will be living there 24-7, he said. He has the skill set and is interested in it. It seemed to me to be a very good fit.
Ms. Cummings, he said, works full-time as a corrections officer.
Mr. Strait said having a person living in the trailer full time also would help deter vandals, which is a growing problem in the community.
We want someone who will have their eyes on that area, and notify state police or the authorities if there is anything going on, he said.
Mr. Dow will maintain his position, Mr. Strait said. The caretaker is hired on an annual basis.
Before next years hiring, both Mr. Scott and Mr. Strait said, the Recreation Commission and the Town Council will establish guidelines for the hiring process.
Well review the documents and review what the duties are, if there are any policies in place, and develop polices when it comes to hiring, Mr. Scott said.

Mets inform Mike Pelfrey he has been non-tendered
The Mets have informed Mike Pelfrey he has been non-tendered and is now a free agent, according to Adam Rubin of ESPN New York.
Pelfrey underwent Tommy John Surgery on May 1, but recently told Rubin he expects to be ready for Opening Day.
While Terry Collins said at the end of the year he could see Pelfrey as both a starter and reliever, Pelfrey told Rubin he wants to start, and he is not interested in returning as an "extra guy."
Michael Baron, ContributorWell, I guess Pelfrey's future with the Mets could be dependent on what the team does with either Jon Niese and/or R.A. Dickey this winter. If the Mets trade one of them, then Pelfrey might be interested in returning. I expect him to shop around first and see where he might fit immediately as a member of a rotation, based on his remarks to Rubin tonight. But even though Pelfrey said he expects to be ready for Opening Day, that is still 11 months post-surgery, and recovery from Tommy John Surgery typically takes at least 12 months. I can't imagine the Mets – or any team he signs with – would be aggressive with his rehab just to get him ready for Opening Day.

|GED (General Education Development)
The General Education Development (GED) program was designed during World War II to allow returning veterans to finish their high school studies and certify that they had the skills to take advantage of postsecondary education benefits provided for in the GI Bill. The GED was soon made available to regular high school dropouts, and the number of GED certificates awarded annually increased dramatically. By 1959 most test-takers were civilians and in 2001 nearly 650,000 GED certificates were issued.
In 2002, the fourth-generation GED test was introduced to bring the test more in line with tougher high school academic standards. According to the General Education Development Testing Service, the 2002 Series GED Tests "reflect the impact of welfare-to-work legislation and the increased emphasis on academic standards in the K-12 community."
The GED is a potential second chance and steppingstone for dropouts to attain postsecondary education, and research has shown that GED holders benefit as much from completing their postsecondary education as those with regular high school diplomas. In fact, a majority of those seeking a GED report that pursuing postsecondary education is their ultimate goal and GED holders actually have similar grades to other students at the associate and bachelor's levels. Unfortunately, the majority of those earning a GED fail to enroll in postsecondary programs, and less than 3% earn a bachelor's degree.
The positive effects of earning a GED are most pronounced for those with very low academic skills, allowing those recipients to earn between 5% and 25% more than similar dropouts without a GED. However, this benefit does not appear immediately, becoming statistically significant only after five years, and does not appear at all for those who demonstrate higher academic skills.

The expiration of Maine's liquor sales contract is more than a year away, but signs of a pitched battle for those contract rights are already on the horizon. The current contract holder has notified Gov. Paul LePage and legislative leaders that he's ready to continue those services - even though a formal request for proposals for a new contract has yet to be posted by the state. As A.J. Higgins reports, Maine Beverage says it can guarantee $32 million a year in liquor revenue to the state.
Maine Beverage Company has held the wholesale liquor sales and distribution contract in the state for the last decade, and its contract will expire next year. Although state officials said they would seek a formal request for proposals for bidders on a new 10-year contract this year, that RFP has not gone out.
That didn't discourage Dean Williams, the president and CEO of Maine Beverage, from making an offer that he says has previously been permitted under two earlier agreements with the Legislature.
"Our intention with this letter here was to let the state know that we're a very interested partner in continuing the business with them," Williams says.
In his letter to Gov. Paul LePage, Williams said he appreciated the governor's plan to repay nearly a half-billion dollars in outstanding state Medicaid debt to Maine's hospitals by taking out a revenue bond to cover Maine's share of the bill. LePage would then repay the bond through state's liquor sales.
Williams says he could guarantee annual state liquor revenues of $32 million, with the potential for an additional $4 to $6 million annually, depending on agreements with the state. He also suggested that if LePage were to adopt the bond proposal, Maine Beverage would be open to including an up-front cash payment to assist with the hospital repayment plan.
Williams declined to elaborate on whether he would be open to lowering the price of alcohol in all of Maine, or just along its western borders with New Hamphire, where prices are cheaper.
"To get into too many of the details probably wouldn't be fair to either side," Williams says. "I mean, it's a letter that says we value our relationship, we want to continue our relationship. We understand that the business has grown significantly, and we understand that it's going to cost a lot more money for us to continue our relationship."
But there are other parties that would like to see the state sever its relationship with Maine Beverage. Ford Reiche represents the Dirigo Spirit Co. in Lewiston that hopes to land the state's next wholesale liquor contract. He says Maine can get a better deal than what Williams is offering.
"They're offering $32 million a year guaranteed, plus $4 to $6 million in public funds," Reiche said. "If you call that $38 million they're offering the state, the liquor commissioner, Gerry Reid from BABLO, made a presentation just two days ago to a legislislative committee that oversees this and he says there's over $50 million available just using 2011 numbers. So why the state would seek such a small amount from Maine Beverage is beyond me. This is not at all a generous offer."
"Do they have an inside track? Of course," says Maine Senate President Justin Alfond. Alfond says Maine Beverage has made a good faith effort. But he also says the next contract will be awarded based on the best revenue returns to Maine and the ability of the bidder to deliver the goods.
"The way that I think we're all looking at it is that everyone is on an equal playing field going forward, because this time around we know as a state a lot more than we did 10 years ago," Alfond says.
The governor's office confirmed that it did receive Maine Beverage's offer, and declined further comment.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Lipscomb women's tennis team improved to 4-1 on the season after defeating North Alabama 7-0 Saturday inside the Whitworth Indoor Tennis Facility.
"Our girls did well tonight against UNA," said Lipscomb coach Jamie Aid. "We knew UNA was going to play slower tempo tennis. These are matches that are good for us to play because they make us stay true to our tennis."
The Lady Bisons took the doubles point by winning at all three positions.
"Doubles got off to a slower start than we would like, however we pulled it together and swept doubles," Aid said. "All of our girls did their job in singles."
Captains Deahna Welcher and Jenny Borck continued their doubles success, defeating UNA's pair of Natalia Barragan and Olivera Ngouabeu by a score of 6-3.
"Doubles started off slow today," Borck said. "But then Deahna and I won six games in a row. "We just needed to focus a little more and play the match one point at a time."
In singles play, Welcher was at No.1 and beat Ngouabeu in straight sets (6-3, 6-4). "My goal today was to play relaxed," said Welcher. "We have been working on me having 100 percent confidence in my shots, and I feel like I achieved that a lot more today."
In other singles, Melissa Kromer at No.2, Laura Kent at No. 3 and Lorena Djuknic at No.4 won their matches to seal the victory for the Lady Bisons.
Borck and freshmen Sierra Troxel won at No. 5 and No.6. They defeated Madison Patey and Morgan Jose in an eight game set.
"We were happy to be off the match at 9 p.m. so we could celebrate our win then quickly start resetting for tomorrow's match," Aid said. "We want to stay true to our process.
"We are looking forward to MTSU tomorrow. They will present new challenges for us. We are excited to compete Sunday morning and hopeful for positive results. We are excited to see more growth from our team."
Lady Bisons will hit the road for Murfreesboro, Tenn., Sunday morning for an 11 a.m. match.

The PowerShot ELPH 115 IS features a powerful Genuine Canon 8x Zoom Lens that delivers outstanding optical performance and versatility. Fitting a high-performance lens with such wide zoom range into a camera so thin would normally be considered an impossible feat but Canon's expert optical engineering met the challenge, developing a lens that achieves outstanding compactness with high zoom power and superb performance. The zoom starts at 28mm wide-angle and extends to 224mm telephoto (35mm equivalent), covering an exceptionally wide range. The telephoto reach gives you the freedom to capture subjects from a considerable distance, while the 28mm wide-angle makes it easy to shoot sweeping landscapes, large groups of people and tall buildings.

(2) pursuant to section 3582 elects to retain coverage, rights, and benefits under any system established by law for the retirement of persons during the period of employment with the international organization and currently deposits the necessary deductions in payment for such coverage, rights, and benefits in the system's fund; and
(1) Each covered person may contribute to the Thrift Savings Fund, in accordance with this subsection, an amount not to exceed the amount described in paragraph (2).
(2) The maximum amount which a covered person may contribute under paragraph (1) is equal to—
(A) the total amount of all contributions under section 8351 (b)(2) or 8432 (a), as applicable, which the person would have made over the period beginning on the date of transfer of the person (as described in subsection (a)(1)) and ending on the day before the date of reemployment of the person (as described in subsection (a)(3)), minus
(3) Contributions under paragraph (1)—
(A) shall be made at the same time and in the same manner as would any contributions under section 8351 (b)(2) or 8432 (a), as applicable;

Digimortally Yours
Posted on February 12, 2008Fear Factory's Digimortal Album
Both CD (£11.99) & Digipack (£12.99) are out now and available from the following: HMV, Virgin, V.Shop/Our Price, MVC, Andys, and all good Indies! Full tracklisting for the band's new album is as follows: (comments from Raymond)
What Will Become
Digimortal - This song is very much like Shock with groovy verses, a lot of triplets on the kick drums, and a very melodic chorus.
No One
Linchpin - This song is all about groove. Extremely catchy chorus, this will be the sing-along song for sure. Think of this as Replica meets Martyr.
Invisible Wounds (Dark Bodies) - This song is a lot like Descent, but even catchier. will also be a big sing-along song for sure. But then the middle turns into this extremely heavy Fear Factory mechanical type middle section. Very epic song like Resurrection.
Acres Of Skin - OK, plain and simple If you remember the first song on the Pantera record Far Beyond Driven, than that is what this song is like.
Back The Fuck Up features vocal guest Cypress Hill frontman B-Real
Byte Block - This is probably the most industrial song we've got. It starts out with this killer guitar pattern into a kick drum pattern. Starts kind of like Zero Signal, but it is an alternating kick drum pattern, then breaks into parts of that pattern for the verses, into a straight heavy chorus like New Breed.
Hurt Conveyor - This song is a rock song all the way. The chorus has a Deftones touch to it."
(Memory Imprints) Never End
Bonus tracks on the digipack are:
Dead Man Walking
Strain vs. Resistance
Full Metal Contact
You can check out live shots of the guys from their March 2001 show in Northampton in the gallery.
ON THE WEB... Did you miss the live webchat Burton & Christian did at Radio 1's website? You can read the transcript on their website.
Digimortal mini-series!
'Digimortal' is a product of 10 years labour by FF. This 4-part series takes you into the mind of FF and it's members and gives you a glimpse into what it took to create Digimortal. You can see the whole lot in the video section!
Roadrunner have reissued their seminal 1992 Industrial Death Metal debut 'Soul Of A New Machine' at mid-price.
You can check out a whole bunch of photos from the studio session for Digimortal in the gallery! Dino, guitarist, says: "We've avoided typical studios like Indigo Ranch. We don't want to be working and the all of a sudden have Limp Bizkit walk in- that could be distracting!" The new album is produced by Rhys Fulber.

|Watauga's First Meth Lab of 2013
|Written by WCSO Press Release
|Monday, 14 January 2013 16:21
On January 9, 2013, detectives from the Special Operations Division discovered four methamphetamine laboratories and an HCL gas generator, which is used in the final phase of meth production, while executing a search warrant on 132 Battle Cove Lane, which is located in Bradford Trailer Park in Boone.
The labs were not associated with the residence of 132 Battle Cove Lane. Detectives had recently received information that individuals were manufacturing meth in the woods at the end of Battle Cove Lane. Four "shake and bake" labs were discovered in the woods, along with an HCL gas generator, and lithium batteries which the lithium strips had been removed.
"Because of the recent arrest of several high level methamphetamine traffickers in Watauga County, we expect to see a rise in meth labs. The shake and bake method is the most preferred by meth cooks because the meth can be manufactured within 30 minutes." Sheriff Len Hagaman
Detectives are still investigating the meth lab dump sites.

Posted by coach_deen on 3/17/2013 2:59:00 AM (view original):None of the above. What about "I really like Version 3 but since we're less than 1/2 way through Beta realize it's going to get much better by the time we're finished with it"
Posted by mannowar on 3/17/2013 9:54:00 AM (view original):Personally, I don't really see the basic vs. advanced as that big of an advantage. It's really only a depth chart/formation thing as far as I can see. And if someone wants to use specific formations with set depth charts, they're most likely going to be doing something very specific. If it's short yardage, they'll either go with a power back or a possession back. All you have to do is gameplan for the situation, whether you're running basic or advanced. It would be no better than a 50/50 proposition with version 2.0, so even if you go 50/50 run/pass, you'll probably get the same result as 2.0 in the worst case scenario. Even if everything were on absolutely even ground (all advanced or all basic), there's still the anatomy of the play that will happen, blocking, execution, etc. Just because both are playing basic settings doesn't guarantee you success on any given play. I don't know... I just don't really see it as all that big of a deal, and the bottom line is that most of the complaining about the past versions of this game is that there wasn't enough control. Now that we have it, are people really going to be complaining about that too? Oh, silly me... of course they are.
Posted by mannowar on 3/17/2013 9:36:00 AM (view original):Posted by coach_deen on 3/17/2013 2:59:00 AM (view original):None of the above. What about "I really like Version 3 but since we're less than 1/2 way through Beta realize it's going to get much better by the time we're finished with it"+1
Yes, None of the above would be my choice as well. There are still a lot of holes to be fixed but I believe the end result may be enough to bring me back into the fold. I realize tweeks are still being made, but here are my current observations:
1. Special teams returns need to be turned down. I average at least one special teams return in every actual game it seems, and usually at least 2 returns (Kick and Punt) in test games.
2. Very Short passing is too effective and Medium passing is not effective enough. Long and Deep passes are still intercepted at too high of a rate.
3. Running with QBs and WRs is too effective. Running with RBs not effective enough (at least not for my team). While I realize it may just be my team and some may be having big numbers from their RBs, I can't get any of mine going in any formation vs. any formation. My QBs, however, have ran for nearly 1200 yards and thrown for over 3100 with 79% completion so far. Only 23 of my QBs runs have been scrambles, so the majority of those rushing yards are on designated runs. So, 58% passing, 42% running. My RBs, however, just can't seem to get going in any formation against any formation. I've tried them all, inside running, outside running, vs. Running D, vs. Passing D... every combination in every formation... just can't get them going.
4. On the plus side, gameplanning seems to make more of a difference, though being able to see your opponents gameplans, and them able to see yours, certainly play into it. It's been very difficult to gameplan for my CC game, as I can actually see my opponent gameplanning at the same time making adjustments to his D as soon as I do something on O, and vice versa... kinda funny last night as we were both countering each other for over two hours... I'd make an ajustment and run some test games and find that he'd made adjustments and was also running test games... Very funny... I finally waited until a half hour before gametime to put in my final gameplan... he must've waited until even closer to gametime, because he went in a different direction.
5. Plugging in specific OL positions and DL/LB/DB/S positions seems to make a difference. Early in the season, during the exhibition season, I went with generic OL, DL, LB and DB settings. When non-con games started, I plugged in guys specifically where I wanted them (Tackles, Guards, Center, etc...) Production on both sides of the ball seemed to go up significantly and when I use formations that don't have specific personnel setups, production doesn't seem as strong.
6. Not sure about blitz #'s yet. I'm thinking they may have turned these down a bit, as early on, I was getting around 10 a game and was only blitzing 10% across the board. Now, with the same % setting, I'm getting about 3 per game, which seems pretty normal, HOWEVER, when I run test games now with 100% blitz across the board, I only seem to get about 5 or 6 per game, which doesn't seem like enough with blitzing set at 100%.
Overall, I'd have to say I'm liking what I'm seeing... or, at least the direction I see it taking. If they can get some of the kinks worked out, I think we'll have a game to be proud of, but it's obviously not there yet. Some of the above stuff may just be specific to my team of course, and there are still some of the little issues like fumbles recovered by the offense going back to the line of scrimmage, etc... that need to be worked out, but I think we're headed in the right direction overall.
Posted by starfinder77 on 3/17/2013 6:49:00 PM (view original):I never thought that it was almost solely about gam planning. I view it that if you have the superior team you will win the majority of the time. If you look at the Bava and Argento worlds in D1a you will see that there were "head scratches" for teams up there to. Personally I would think that WIS would want to throw as many options to us as customers. Does anybody know if Norbert reads these posts or are we just babbling in the wind?

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate reporter
The Price American Legion team traveled south to play a pair of double-headers with Cedar City and walked away with three wins and a loss. They beat Cedar 10-1, 18-1, 11-0. Their final game resulted in a close 10-9 loss.
They started their quest on Wednesday, June 18 against Cedar with Travis Failor on the mound. He went three innings and gave up three hits. Zach Rodriguez came on and finished with three innings of good pitching.
It was the defense that made the difference. Anytime Cedar got a runner on, the Price boys shut them down.
Offensively, many on the team were able to connect the hits when needed. Rodriguez, Neto Pacheco, Levi Graff and Dorien Scoville each had a pair of hits. TJ Cartwright and Cal Wilson had a pair of RBI's
The powerful offense kept coming in game two as Rodriguez had three hits and four RBI's. Tyson Dameron had three hits. Cartwright had a pair of hits and three RBI's. Graff also had three hits in the game.
Coach Willie Ellington used five pitchers in the game. Tyson Dameron was the start and went three before Ellington sent in Graff, Pacheco, Andrew Salazar and Joe McKinnon to pitch an inning each. Ellington wants to let his young players get a chance to pitch while also not running the risk of burning out an arm that is not ready to go the distance.
On Thursday Johnathan Garcia took the mound for Price and went five shutout innings.
The offense again came through. Rodriguez had another good game at the plate with a pair of hits. Dameron also had a pair as well as Graff and Failor. The game ended in five with the score of 11-0.
In the final game of the series, Ellington made sure his bench got a chance on the field. They held their own and almost pulled out a sweep for the team. But in baseball a single play can make a difference and it only took one ball squirting through the infield to give Cedar its only win of the series.
Rodriguez pitched four innings and McKinnon took a turn on the mound with Failor finishing up.
Rodriguez again came through big on offense with three hits and Scoville added a pair.
Ellington was happy about the series, "I felt good about the way we played. We could have won the final game. I wanted to make sure the younger kids got a chance to play and they almost pulled it out." He went on to say, "We will have our hands full this weekend at the Helper tournament. They (the Price team) need to learn from these more experienced kids who are older and one step away from college or triple A ball. It's fun to watch them run onto the field in their uniforms and want to play. I took many of these kids to watch Helper Legion teams play over the years and its their dream to be out on that field, under the lights playing."
Price will play at 8:00 on Thursday night at the Helper Legion Field.

A "super-Congress" is being proposed by Senate leaders Harry Reid and Mitch McConnell. The left-wing Huffington Post summarizes the plan — which they claim is also supported by Republican House Speaker John Boehner — this way:
"Legislation approved by the Super Congress — which some on Capitol Hill are calling the 'super committee' — would then be fast-tracked through both chambers, where it couldn't be amended by simple, regular lawmakers, who'd have the ability only to cast an up or down vote. With the weight of both leaderships behind it, a product originated by the Super Congress would have a strong chance of moving through the little Congress and quickly becoming law."
The Huffington Post also noted: "This 'Super Congress,' composed of members of both chambers and both parties, isn't mentioned anywhere in the Constitution, but would be granted extraordinary new powers."

Perhaps this is just an overly futurist version of those "does programming have a future" topics, but the questions been on my mind a lot lately. Maybe you've seen this future timeline or things like it, and one of the predictions it makes is that by the year 4000, computer science will be dead as a science. That is to say, that the hardware will have reached the limits of physics and that all the problems of algorithms and software will be solved.
Is that a thing that can happen? I could see how, theoretically, physics might reach an end point where you've found all the natural laws there are. But I'd always considered computer science to in some ways be more like economics, a field about decisions and trade-offs. Or could we someday discover all the algorithms, and then it's just a matter of software engineering to select the most appropriate one to use?

LaSalle County Generating Station donated 104 new winter coats to the Youth Service Bureau of Illinois Valley, the Marseilles Police department and local families to help keep area children warm this winter.
MARSEILLES, Ill. (Jan. 12, 2009) - LaSalle County Generating Station donated 104 new winter coats to the Youth Service Bureau of Illinois Valley, the Marseilles Police department and local families to help keep area children warm this winter.
"This gift will extend well beyond the Youth Service Bureau and will touch many people in our community," said Dave McClure, executive director of the Youth Service Bureau, a community based, not-for-profit, child welfare agency established in 1976. "We are blessed to have an organization like LaSalle Station in our community to help out especially in needy times like these."
LaSalle Station's donation was made through a partnership with Operation Warm. Since 1998, Operation Warm has provided new winter coats to children in need through strategic partnerships with donors and community organizations. Operation Warm's vision is that every child wearing a new winter coat is healthy, is able to attend school regularly and has strong self-esteem.
In addition to the station's partnership with Operation Warm, LaSalle Station has an annual holiday gift drive in which the station donates gifts to those in need during the holidays. The remaining coats were donated to several families who submitted their names to the holiday gift drive.
"We know the new winter coats will make the cold winter months a bit warmer for kids in our community," said Dan Enright, LaSalle Station site vice president.
LaSalle County Generating Station is located approximately 75 miles southwest of Chicago. With both units at full power, the site produces more than 2,200 megawatts net, which is enough electricity for 2.3 million homes. In 2008, LaSalle Generating Station donated more than $69,000 to a wide range of local organizations, including charitable contributions to help LaSalle and Grundy Counties improve environmental, educational and recreational initiatives within local communities.
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities with approximately $19 billion in annual revenues. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and Pennsylvania and natural gas to approximately 480,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.

Read: The Rangers Still Feel They Are In The Process
Before last season many Rangers, including Brian Boyle, said that they thought the Rangers had a team capable of finishing in the top four and claiming home ice in the first round.
Boyle said, "I think we have the team that can be and should be a top-four seed instead of being the fight somewhere between sixth and ninth."
During the Q&A that John Tortorella held with fans at the Rangers Dog Walk, provided by the team, the Rangers coach noted that the team still needs to take the necessary steps to get where they need to be.
Quite honestly I have corresponded with the players. Listen a couple of years ago we talked about taking some steps, instead of being that 7th, 8th, and 9th team just fighting to get in and then going out in the first round, we started trying to take our steps. This year, honestly, we were trying to get into that 4th, 5th. We exceeded that, ended winning our conference and going to the Conference Finals. Having said that, you can't look by anything. We still have a lot of things to learn as a hockey club, and we're still a very young hockey team. But I think they understand to take things one day at a time. That's so important. I have full trust in these guys that they are ready to answer the bell here.

Werner Paddles
Sidekick Whitewater Paddle
In Stock Product Number: 747
The Werner Side Kick has an advanced blade design well suited for pulling off the latest play moves. Its downward tilting blades give great initial power in forward and reverse strokes, and the larger blade size works well for stronger paddlers. Carbon construction reduces weight while maintaining stiffness and strength. The aggressive design is perfect for the "tricksters" of the sport, but shouldn't be ruled out if you're not an advanced paddler.
Also, the Sidekick paddle is available in two shaft types, Straight or Neutral Bent Shaft. Both have their advantages:
Paddlers are more familiar with straight shafts and like the light weight and ability to move their hands along a predictable, straight, and continuous grip area. Straight shafts are typically less expensive.
The Werner Neutral Bent Shaft naturally aligns your wrist to reduce stress on joints. The neutral alignment, unique to Werner Paddles, creates a stable leverage point for bracing and all types of paddle strokes. Special indexing allows more hand contact with the shaft, reducing fatigue and increasing comfort.

Tchimpounga Chimpanzee Rehabilitation Center
Every year poachers in the Congo Basin kill thousands of chimpanzees as part of the illegal bushmeat trade. Typically, the hunters spare the lives of the smallest, confiscating them and selling them as pets despite laws forbidding such trade.
The Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) works to end the illegal commercial bushmeat trade through education and awareness programs, community-centered conservation activities including development of alternate sources of protein, and policy efforts. But, until demand for bushmeat subsides, illegal hunting will continue. To help the youngest victims—the orphaned babies—JGI operates the Tchimpounga Chimpanzee Rehabilitation Center (TCRC), a safe haven in Pointe Noire, Republic of Congo, where orphans who government officials have confiscated from the black market can get needed care and attention.
Background / Issues:
The TCRC was established in 1992 through a cooperative agreement between JGI and the Government of Congo – Ministère de l'Economie Forestière (MEF).
Since that time, JGI has worked tirelessly to look after the welfare of the orphaned chimpanzees residing at the sanctuary. Most of the orphaned chimps living there were confiscated by Congolese authorities as part of their efforts to stop the illegal commercial bushmeat and pet trades. The rescued chimps are cared for at JGI's TCRC, which is currently the largest chimpanzee sanctuary in Africa. Originally designed to care for 30 chimpanzees, today the TCRC provides sanctuary for more than 150 orphan chimps who can live as long as 60 years. The TCRC staff also cares for eight adult mandrills.
Key Project Activities:
In 2007, to accommodate the unanticipated pace of growth and provide better accommodations and care to the resident chimps—many of whom have reached adulthood—JGI embarked on an extensive expansion and renovation effort.
In 2011, after three years of planning and hard work, the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) successfully secured the land necessary to expand the TCRC. JGI intends to expand the sanctuary by building supplementary facilities on three islands in the nearby Kouilou River. The islands will offer the chimpanzees a much larger, natural setting where they can learn, grow and build social bonds in a secure environment.
The 2007 renovation of the Tchimpounga Chimpanzee Rehabilitation Center included:
• Two new dormitories and enclosures that provide expanded living and sleeping space for the
• A new, secure vet lab that has chimpanzee-proof windows and doors and an auxiliary door to safely
bring chimpanzees in for treatment;
• A new food storage and prep area adjacent to the main dormitory to create efficiency—cutting the
need for one person to be fully occupied transferring food from a remote building;
• A much-needed water system so that all of the chimpanzees have continual access to drinking water in
their dorms and enclosures; and
• Researcher housing and office space to accommodate the needs of visiting researchers and JGI staff.
The facilities on the three islands secured in 2011 will provide:
• Nearly 100 times more forest area for the chimpanzees enabling them to run virtually wild and free;
• A controlled setting where chimpanzees can have access to more natural habitat, but can be closely
monitored, receive provisional food, and receive veterinary care, if required;
• A reduction in infrastructure costs and maintenance as the islands create a natural boundary for the
chimpanzees thereby minimizing the need for fencing and staff to operate and maintain the site; and
• Improved and safer viewing opportunities for local residents and visitors once future education and
ecotourism elements are developed.
Phase One will include the design of a master architectural plan for the entire site, as well as the construction of a dormitory for chimpanzees to stay overnight, whether for integration with other chimps or for medical care. In addition, the plan entails construction of several ecoguard posts, accommodation for 10 staff members, and additional support buildings for food storage and preparation. Finally, JGI will purchase equipment such as boats, a welding generator and a solar electric system.

Video: Mayor Brown Easily Wins Another Term
BUFFALO, N.Y. Byron Brown will serve another term as Mayor of Buffalo.
WEB EXTRA: 2013 Election Results
2 On Your Side declared Brown has the winner of the race for Buffalo mayor over Sergio Rodriguez.
With 40% of the votes in, Brown leads with 70% of the votes, while Sergio has 30%.
In a 2 On Your Side, Buffalo News, Siena College poll earlier this year, 65% of people said the city is on the right track. Only 27% believed it's on the wrong track. Also, Brown's approval rating was 66%.
"We don't want to take any voter for granted. We don't want to take the process for granted. We aggressively wanted to reach out to the voters to ask the voters for their support and their vote and at the same time, we wanted to promote all of the progress that's taking place in the City of Buffalo. People are encouraged, people are feeling good about what's happening in Buffalo and we're working hard every day to get the message out that Buffalo is a new place, that Buffalo is changing, that Buffalo is a city of hope and progress," said Mayor Brown.
Mayor Brown tells us he wants to continue to help the city's economy grow, and he would like to bring more jobs to Buffalo for the people of Buffalo.
Brown also places improving education high on his list of priorities.
"When you won the primary, you said we could hold you accountable to making education better for students across Buffalo. How do you plan on doing that?" asked Channel 2's Kelly Dudzik.
"Well, I'm going to be continuing to be involved and active. You know, like restoring money for instruments and music in the schools. Like adding another two million dollars to the budget of Buffalo Public Schools. I'm going to be very active. I'm going to be very involved, and you will see me very involved in that issue and all of the other issues that are important to the residents of this city," says Brown.

Backup Schlauderaff Sees Time at Right Tackle and Tight End
kristianrdyer , TheJetsBlog.com
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – For Jets backup center Caleb Schlauderaff, there could be an expanded role this Sunday against the Dolphins. With Jason Smith out of Friday's practice for what head coach Rex Ryan called "personal reasons," the Jets are without their backup right tackle and their jumbo tight end. Into the void steps Schlauderaff.
Sources tell The Jets Blog that Smith isn't expected to miss Sunday's game but just in case, it is Schlauderaff who took on a new role on Friday in practice. Getting snaps at the position is a new fit for the second-year offensive lineman and a tricky one.
"I kind of realize what's going on in the offense as a center so I know it well, I have to direct things and make calls. This right here, well, it's different, I'm not used to all that space. But it's been a crash course," Schlauderaff told The Jets Blog.
"You're basically doing the same thing as the tight end you're just 60 pounds heavier. So the dynamics of it are different but it plays to my strengths. It's really just another way to get another offensive lineman on the field."
He found out on Thursday night that he'd be needed as a jumbo tight end for Friday's practice and he is preparing as if he might be needed on Sunday. It's a good opportunity for a player who at the University of Utah was a third-team All-American in 2010 to showcase his ability. Previous players who have filled this role such as Rob Turner, Wayne Hunter and Vlad Ducasse have all gone on to an expanded role with the Jets or elsewhere in the league.
There is a smirk from him when asked about playing the position, especially since at 6'4 and 305 lbs. he looks nothing like Dustin Keller, Jeff Cumberland or Konrad Reuland, the tight ends on the Jets roster. He last played tight end in middle school so this is a bit excitement for Schlauderaff, even if it's just practice. There might even be the possibility of getting a ball thrown in his direction should he ever play in a game at jumbo tight end.
"Jason's had a couple routes this year [but he] hasn't had the ball thrown to him yet. We do throw at the jumbo tight end a bit," Schlauderaff said. "I think most offensive lineman go through their career without a ball being thrown at them. It's been fun so far, a nice way to change things up."
Kristian R. Dyer covers the Jets for Metro New York and also contributes to Yahoo!Sports. He can be followed for news, insight and snarky comments @KristianRDyer.
Yes, a Un-Drafted,
NOT going to make the Team,
6th String WR,
went Deep and Fought Over the 3rd string DB,
to make a great catch,
and than scored...........A+
Now the Throw,
QB Nassib, threw it Late,
and UNDER THREW it....
in a GAME,
9 outta 10 times
thats Knocked Down or a INT....
Great play, but it was one play against third stringers. I'd like to see more before I get too excited.
But certainly there is potential
That was a heck of a catch and run by Washington, kind of reminded me of Hakeem Nicks when he would fight the defender for the ball, back when he cared to.
Heard the Colts are pretty unhappy with Nicks already.
@Jeff Comerford I'm not saying they are on the same course, but just think back to a relatively unknown Victor Cruz tearing up 3rd string Jets defenders just a few short years ago.
@Michael Frias @Jeff Comerford Lets not get ahead of ourselves here. It was an exciting play, and he's got great size. But, there have been a lot of August superheroes that disappear once september arrives.
remember adawle ojomo? wasn't he supposed to be the next dine stud for the giants?
I can only hope he mirrors Cruz's career -but its still too early. Lets see him play against #1 DB's first....

The import_bktr module imports video frames into transcode from bktr(4) devices found on BSD systems. This module supports RGB, UYVY, and YV12 video formats.
'format=<format>' Video norm, valid arguments: ntsc pal default: driver default
The video source format, or 'norm'. Shouldn't need much explanation.
'vsource=<vsource>' Video source, valid arguments: composite tuner svideo_comp svideo input3 default: driver default (usually 'composite')
The source of the video bktr(4) is to grab. 'composite' is the RCA jack, 'tuner' is for the internal tuner, 'svideo_comp' is for, according to the bktr sources, "S-VHS input, but with composite camera", 'svideo' is for S-Video, 'input3' is undocumented.
'asource=<asource>' Audio source, valid arguments: tuner external internal default: driver default (usually 'tuner')
The card's audio source. 'tuner' is for the internal tuner, 'external' is for external audio jacks feeding the card, 'internal' is for FM radio (if it exists).
'tunerdev=<tunerdev>' Tuner device, default: /dev/tuner0
Should be self explanatory.
'mute' Mute the bktr device, off by default.
Use 'transcode -x bktr=mute,...' to get absolutely no audio from the bktr(4) card.
'hwfps' Set frame rate in hardware, off by default. It's possible to get smoother captures by using -f to capture in the highest possible frame rate along with a frame rate filter to get a lower fps.
By default, import_bktr does not set the preferred frame rate in the bktr(4) device. What this means is that if the video source is NTSC and the particular invocation of transcode is able to run 'realtime', the the smoothest captures will be with 'transcode -f 29.97 -x bkrt,...'. For other frame rates, the hwfps option must be used, 'transcode -f 20 -x bktr=hwfps,...', or transcode will still grab frames as fast as they are available on the device. It's probably worth looking into the fps filters to get the smoothest possible reduced frame rate video.
'help' show this help message
Use 'transcode -x bktr=help' to see get a help message.
Watch TV in USA ;)
transcode -i /dev/bktr0 -x bktr=norm=ntsc:vsource=tuner:asource=tuner,null -g 640x480 -J pv
transcode can't probe bktr(4) devices, so it defaults to 720x576. The largest size NTSC frame bktr(4) can grab is 640x480, so the size must be given with -g. The bktr(4) driver defaults to using the composite video source, so the import_bktr option 'vsource' must be set to 'tuner'. Setting the import_bktr option 'norm' to 'ntsc' was not necessary, since that is what my version of bkrt(4) defaults to. Even though transcode defaults to 25 fps and USA TV is 29.97 fps, it is not necessary in this case to use the '-f' switch, because without using the import_bktr option 'hwfps', import_bktr still grabs frames as soon as bktr(4) has them ready. The '-J pv' option tells transcode to use filter_pv to display a 'preview' on the screen. filter_preview has a full screen option
Grab only video from camcorder through the composite video input for DVD
transcode -i /dev/bktr0 -x bktr=mute,null -g 640x480 -y yuv4mpeg,null -k --export_prof dvd-ntsc -o movie.y4m
The '-f 29.97' option must be used
mpeg2enc -f 8 -o movie.m2v < movie.y4m

Artists M. River and T. Whid formed MTAA in 1996 and soon after began to explore the internet, video, software and sculpture as mediums for their conceptually-based art. The duo's exhibition history includes group shows and screenings at The New Museum of Contemporary Art, Postmasters Gallery and Artists Space, all in New York City, and at The Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles. In "New Media Art" (Taschen, 2006), authors Mark Tribe and Reena Jana describe MTAA's "One Year Performance Video (aka samHsiehUpdate)" as "a deftly transparent demonstration of new media's ability to manipulate our perceptions of time." The collaboration has earned grants and awards from Creative Capital, Rhizome.org, Eyebeam, New Radio & Performing Arts, Inc. and The Whitney Museum of American Art.
