I'm a little queasy it was done at the middle school level — and the quarterback could have gotten killed if the defense wised up — but it's still pretty impressive.
Great trick play, but don't try this at home
10 Responses
I don't get why everyone thinks this is so great. I think its cheesy and stupid. Great job coach – you didn't teach your team to play football better than the other team. You taught them to trick the other team into thinking it was a dead ball. I've never understood the appeal of trick plays in youth sports where you take advantage of the inexperience of kids. It doesn't teach the players how to play the game. If that kid tries that when he is on Varsity in a few years he's going to get drilled. By the way, I think under most high school rules, its an illegal snap. The center holds the ball up and to the side as the QB walks by. He has to snap it directly behind him to a player in the back field. Otherwise on fourth and inches he could just hand it to the guard next to him! Overall a bogus way to score. I'd rather lose than win with a play like that.
Nicely put jt. To pile on, this is an old trick – not the first time youtube has seen this. Every time I saw a friend on Facebook post this lame play on their page I countered what happens when people try this in real football. Enjoy.
I will follow that up with a real football lesson. Teaching kids the true and ancient art of misdirection in football. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aJ5BZSq50c&feature=related
NHFS added a rule a couple years ago: 9.9.3 (U.S. high school football rules). The comment in the case book is, "Actions or verbiage designed to confuse the defense into believing there is a problem and a snap isn't imminent is beyond the scope of sportsmanship and is illegal." It is a 15 yard unsportsmanlike foul and the ball remains dead. The Driscoll coach yelled to the quarterback to move the ball up for a "penalty" that was not assessed so the play should have been blown dead and a penalty called on the Driscoll team.
Also, according to the NY Times the Driscoll team did not win the game.
first off, this is a middle school game: so relax yourself on the transcendental meaning of it all. Half the kids are lucky to run in the right direction and not cry after losing. Everyone will remember that one time that crazy play worked, plus the safety almost had him twice, so it's just a game.
second, amazing how we praise chicanery and deception everywhere else. politicians can be elected (to the presidency, no less) based on sweet words and false hopes and promises. pro football has bootlegs and screen action plays, baseball has stolen bases and tax payers look for "losses" or deductions to prevent having to pay what they should.
its ok for slight of hand trick in the adult world but heaven forbid kids learn not to trust what they see. sissies.
1st – who is praising lying politicians and tax cheats? 2nd – a misdirection play within the flow of the game is alot different than this BS. The only comparable plays I can think of are Dan Marino's fake spike and the fake pitchout against Johnny Bench. But those were still live plays within the rules of the game.
And half the kids in middle school are lucky to run in the right direction? Evidently you haven't been to a Pop Warner or youth football game in a while.
If the coach was yelling something to confuse the defense and the quarterback was the only one moving then everything worked as planned. Don't believe everything you hear, and only half of what you see must be applied here. Yes, something terrible could have happened. What are we to do in life, hide in a closet and not go out because we may get hurt? This is a great moment in life that will live with them forever.
At worst they cheated, at best they took a cheesy short cut to success. If my son was on a team that pulled that move, I would tell him it wasn't a great moment, it stunk.

Oxnard council surprised by tourist chief's departure
The Oxnard City Council this week focused on discussing a program to help poor residents pay city utility bills, but there were a few odds and ends that are worth noting.
While presenting the annual report of the Oxnard Convention and Visitors Bureau, President and CEO Janet Sederquist apparently caught some council members by surprise when mentioning her upcoming career change.
Sederquist noticed puzzled expressions behind the dais and said she thought they knew she'd given notice in early December. She's changing careers, she told the panel. She's already back in school and is working part time while the nonprofit bureau — which is fully funded by the city, currently at about $705,000 a year — searches for a new leader.
She's been at the job 11 years and wants to do something different for the second half of her life, she explained. Something a little bit more fun. Not that tourism isn't fun, she noted. Council members probed for specifics, but Sederquist would only say she'd have something to announce at a later date. Something in Oxnard, she added.
The job is posted on the convention bureau's website, http://www.visitoxnard.com, and notes applications are being accepted until noon Feb. 25. Sederquist is expected to stay until June.
Sederquist also gave a brief presentation on an economic impact study of last year's Dallas Cowboys football training camp conducted by the UC Santa Barbara Economic Forecast Project.
Attendance, counted by turnstiles for the first time, totaled 52,141, with 88 percent from outside Oxnard. Economic impact for Oxnard was estimated somewhere between $1 million to $2 million, with the wide range based on differences between overnight and day visitors.
Impact for all of Ventura County was tallied at $3.6 million, counting direct and indirect impacts. Revenue from parking fees generated more than $92,000 and concessions more than $58,000, with those funds benefiting local community groups. The full report runs 30 pages.
The council quietly ended a contentious bid dispute carried over from the previous week by awarding a $232,417 contract for 13 new bus stops to the second-highest bidder, Malibu Pacific Tennis Courts Inc.
The vote came after staff urged the panel to reject the lowest bidder, Del Norte Construction, as not responsible. Cynthia Daniels, the city's project manager, said Del Norte had inflated contract amounts in its three bid references to more than twice the actual figures, among other things.
At the previous meeting, a Del Norte representative accused staff of having "lied, misled and attempted to deceive" the council and brought a 50-plus page stack of emails and letters to make his case.
Daniels submitted additional paperwork for Tuesday's session, including an email from one of Del Norte's references that said — off the record, the writer had hoped — he wouldn't recommend them. No Del Norte representatives showed up to Tuesday's hearing. After updates were delivered, the council unanimously awarded the deal to Malibu Pacific without comment. The bus stops are for a new route along Victoria Avenue and Channel Islands Boulevard.
This last item didn't come out of the council meeting, but it did involve City Hall. Oxnard seems to have taken an efficient approach to news releases with its recent announcement of a new fire chief Tuesday. The release echoes and at times repeats the city's 2010 release announcing its new police chief.
Three years ago, then-City Manager Ed Sotelo's quote read: "I know that Jeri Williams is exceptionally qualified for the position and is the best fit for our city." On Tuesday, Interim City Manager Karen Burnham issued this quote: "I know that James Williams' exceptional qualifications make him the best fit for our city."

England once again showing all the self-discipline of a class of 14-year-olds. Feeble in the extreme.
Wow. New Zealand making mistake after mistake and England capitalising. 32-14 up with 18 minutes to go.
I literally cannot believe it. Not just beaten them, but destroyed them. Biggest win over the ABs ever and only the seventh in all test rugby between the two countries.
Need to build on this now and go forward and win the 6 nations. I see Wales blew it late against Australia as well. Good day then.
Hearing about England's destruction of New Zealand was like having sanctifying grace entering into my soul, renovating my being into a new creation, and having the heavenly Jerusalem unveiled before my eyes!
England destroyed them. Dan Carter can't believe it.

I've been using my rainbow tent for winter but its not as sturdy as I like in strong winds and I would like go get something more suitable for winter conditions but isn't a heavy expedition tent as I don't have real use for that - wondering if anyone has any experience with Stephenson tents?
See reviews athttp://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/tunnel_tents_part1.htmlhttp://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/tunnel_tents_part2_2012.htmlhttp://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/tunnel_tents_part3_2012Can't say I was very impressed with the space in the 2R, at least for 2 people.Cheers
I've used a friend's warmlite in the winter, and I really liked it. Handled winds really well, and took a light snow load with no problem.I know a few people that have used them on mountaineering trips, and they've stood up to all the winds they've encountered.
I have been happy with mine though given the slant on the door it is hard to keep snow from falling into the tent. I bought a 3R climbers (short) tent and I find it has enough room for two if I had it to do over I really think going for a regular would have been a better choice as it is a bit cramped when adding gear. I have used it in -38C(-36f) temps. I can put it up and take it down with gloves on. It handled 40cm(16 inches) of snow quite well. I haven't gotten it into high winds so I can attest to it's above tree-line performance. I have comfortably sat up with two friends and played cards on a rainy day.

Hummingbirds at Chamizal
In 2008, Chamizal was involved the Hummingbird Monitoring Network. Park rangers, our summer Teacher-Ranger-Teacher, and volunteers gathered in the Spanish Garden to gather data on local and migratory hummingbirds. The birds were caught in nets as they came in to sip from our hummingbird feeders. With gentle handling by staff, they were weighed, measured, and banded. Each band has a unique number that will forever be associated with that bird. The information gathered is loaded into an international database for scientists to study and extrapolate information.
The Hummingbird Monitoring Network is "a science-based, project-driven, nonprofit organization dedicated to the conservation of hummingbird diversity and abundance throughout the Americas." More information can be found on their website, www.hummonnet.org.
Visit our Photo Gallery to see Hummingbird Banding project.
Dr. George C. West
A native to southern California, Anna's are also occasionally seen in El Paso. It is one of only three species to permanently reside in the United States. Unlike most hummingbirds, Anna's can sing. The adult male has a dark tail and a rosy-red iridescent crown, chin and throat. The female has a green crown and a gray chin and throat with variable amounts of thin dark streaking or rosy red spots. They can be seen in El Paso in November to March.
Dr. George C. West
The Black-chinned is the most common hummingbird of Texas. While both the male and female are green in color, the male can have either a black chin or a completely black head, purple band, and white throat. The female has a white chin and a somewhat washed-out throat with green streaks. The Black-chinned is mainly a nectar eater but will also eat insects. They tend to make their nests out of twigs and spider web silk. They migrate through El Paso from April to September.
Dr. George C. West
Broad-tails are commonly seen in the western mountain ranges of the Rockies and Sierras. The male is metallic green with a rosy-red band on his throat, a green crown, and a broad tail. The larger female has green central tail feathers with outer tail feathers that are rust-colored at the base, black in the middle, and white on the outer tips. They are sometimes mistaken for the female Rufous and Allen's Hummingbirds. They migrate through El Paso in July and August.
Dr. George C. West
The Rufous is the only hummingbird regularly found as far north as Alaska. It has a green head and back. The male has a copper-colored throat patch; a rusty-brown head, body, and tail; a white chest and belly; and dark wings. The trill the male makes with its wings identifies him from the female. Females are not colored as brightly as males. They have a few iridescent flecks in the throat, large white spots on the tail, and a green head and back. They can be seen in El Paso from April to September.

Creating a healthy city is one of Mick Cornett's passions.
So the latest blow to the voter-approved MAPS 3 senior health and wellness centers, one of the mayor's signature programs, would seem to be a setback.
Creating a healthy city is one of Mick Cornett's passions.
So the latest blow to the voter-approved MAPS 3 senior health and wellness centers, one of the mayor's signature programs, would seem to be a setback.
Not so, Cornett said after the Oklahoma City-County Health Department withdrew its proposal to open a senior center in one of the city's least healthy neighborhoods.
"You know, almost every MAPS project has traditionally had a little bit of controversy, and it almost always subsides once the project gets opened," the mayor said.
The health department's withdrawal leaves the city weighing proposals for just two of the senior centers promised to MAPS 3 voters four years ago.
The idea was popular with voters, who were told they could expect four or five senior centers at a total cost of about $50 million.
A central feature of the centers will be swimming pools and warm water therapy pools to sooth aching joints.
Social activities, medical services and fitness classes will be offered, with the mix based on needs and desires of seniors who use them.
Dropping out
Public health officials declined to say why they withdrew, but Ward 7 Councilman John A. Pettis Jr. had criticized their chosen location.
Pettis contended the site, at the Northeast Regional Health and Wellness Campus on NE 63 near Interstate 35, was too far from most residents' homes.
At a council workshop in September, Pettis said that the health department was unwilling to open a senior center at an inner-city site preferred by Ward 7 residents.
His opposition to NE 63, he said, was "nonnegotiable."
Pettis later said he could work with the health department, but Cornett said Pettis "wants another round at trying to get a different location."
"It seemed like they're fine with that, and I think under the circumstances, we don't have to hurry it," Cornett said. "But I wish we were under construction now on a northeast facility."
Delays persist
Council members were told in September that money to build the first MAPS 3 senior center was waiting to be spent.
As of Aug. 31, only $239,000 had been spent on the senior health and wellness centers, the least of any of the eight MAPS 3 projects.

Yup, it'll be a shame if Loeb doesn't change his mind and compete the full season. The championship would feel kinda dull if Ogier goes on to dominate and win the title without much of a challenge.

BENNINGTON — Two protesters were arrested Tuesday while trying to stop construction of the southern leg of the Keystone XL pipeline.
Protesters try to block Keystone XL construction in Oklahoma
McLoud native Eric Whelan, 26, sat atop a 40-foot pole structure along the pipeline route in Bryan County, while Luther resident Gwen Ingram, 56, locked herself to a piece of construction equipment.
Both were arrested by noon, along with another protester at the site near Bennington, according to organizers.
Work was suspended as authorities tried to remove the protesters, but officials with developer TransCanada said work continued at other sites along the 485-mile pipeline route.
The pipeline is expected to be completed by the middle of this year.
Whelan and Ingram are part of the Great Plains Tar Sands Resistance, which aims to prevent disasters like the recent pipeline spill in Mayflower, Ark.
Like the Exxon Mobil line that ruptured in Arkansas, the full Keystone XL pipeline would carry diluted bitumen from Canada's oil sands.
Crews are working on the southern leg, dubbed the Gulf Coast Project, after the Obama administration last year denied a permit for the transcontinental pipeline.

"Doctors have essentially been helpless against Ebola virus," says Gary Nabel, M.D., Ph.D., director of the Dale and Betty Bumpers Vaccine Research Center (VRC) at the NIH and a lead author of the study. "We have not known if immunity to the virus exists or what parts of the immune response are important. Our studies show that animals can launch an effective immune response against Ebola virus, and we can use knowledge of this response to design a vaccine that protects non-human primates from infection. Although much more work needs to be done, we hope this moves us closer to new vaccines and treatments for Ebola and other viruses."
Ebola virus kills quickly, giving the body little time to launch an effective immune response. Infected individuals suffer severe pain, high fever and extensive internal bleeding. Although the virus periodically strikes humans, scientists do not know where it resides in nature between outbreaks.
"Ebola is a difficult virus because currently available antiviral drugs have no proven effect on it and we do not know its natural reservoir, making environmental control impossible. A vaccine is therefore the best hope for protecting humans from infection, and this study makes some key advances toward realizing that goal," says Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), which funds the VRC along with the National Cancer Institute (NCI). NIAID, NCI and the NIH Office of AIDS Research spearhead the Center.
Dr. Nabel and colleagues had previously tested genetic Ebola vaccines strands of DNA containing genes that encode Ebola virus proteins for their ability to induce immune responses in rodents and to protect against disease. Unlike traditional vaccines, typically made from viral proteins, DNA vaccines more closely mimic virus infection because they enter a cell and use that cell's machinery to manufacture new viral proteins. Researchers believe this strategy might better trick the immune system into thinking a real virus infection has occurred.
Previously, Dr. Nabel's laboratory and a second research team independently showed a DNA vaccine could protect mice and guinea pigs from a specially adapted Ebola virus strain lethal to rodents. An effective human vaccine, however, must protect against three known fatal Ebola virus strains Zaire, Sudan and Ivory Coast. Ebola Zaire is the form of virus associated with the most human deaths.
To ensure that a multi-strain vaccine would not weaken the immune response to the Zaire strain, a team of scientists led by VRC research fellow Nancy Sullivan, Ph.D., and Dr. Nabel combined genes encoding surface proteins from the Sudan, Zaire and Ivory Coast Ebola viruses. Working with researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's high-containment or biosafety level 4 facility, Dr. Nabel's team compared this vaccine to the one tested previously in rodents. The new vaccine produced an immune response equally powerful to that of the original vaccine in protecting guinea pigs from the Zaire strain.
The scientists then turned to boosting the anti-Ebola virus immune response by using a weakened form of a different virus, adenovirus, to make an Ebola virus protein from the Zaire strain. Adenoviruses typically cause respiratory diseases, but the researchers used a modified form that can enter cells without reproducing or causing disease. Such viruses have been used in other studies to boost immune responses in mice. Dr. Nabel's team attached the Ebola Zaire virus surface protein gene to the DNA of the weakened adenovirus, and tested this new booster vaccine in mice. The vaccine produced a more vigorous immune response than that observed with the multi-strain DNA vaccine, and it increased the amount of antibodies and T cells directed against the Ebola virus protein.
Armed with this promising new vaccine, the researchers tested a novel prime-boost immunization strategy on eight monkeys. Four monkeys received the three-strain Ebola virus DNA vaccine and then were injected with the Ebola-adenovirus booster. The other four monkeys received placebo immunizations. All four vaccinated monkeys launched strong anti-Ebola immune responses and survived a subsequent exposure to lethal doses of Ebola Zaire virus. Three of these monkeys showed no sign of viral infection, whereas a slight, temporary increase in Ebola virus in the blood of one of the vaccinated monkeys disappeared after one week. More than six months after infection, the four monkeys remained symptom-free with no detectable virus in the blood.
The researchers are continuing their efforts. "We of course want to test the multivalent vaccine for effectiveness against all three strains of Ebola virus," says Dr. Sullivan, "but we also need to look more closely at the immune response induced by these vaccines so we can nail down what is needed for protection." By studying the mechanism of protection induced by the vaccine, they can determine what combination of antibodies, helper T cells and killer T cells defend the monkeys against infection. They then hope to use this information to rationally design new vaccines and antiviral treatments for humans.

I will have to give thos one a try. I have both your cookbooks. Over ther weekend I made the Easy Peanut Butter Chicken, I am wary of eating peanut butter with anything but jelly. This was great. My entire family loved it, even my hubby.
Always love your reviews and I plan to try every recipe at least once.

I just made a crazy volume of chicken broth, and so far I've made your Peanut Butter Chicken and my High Country Chicken Bog, and I still have a vat of broth left!! I might freeze some, but this recipe would be a great way to use a bunch of it.

I just found your blog and I'm in slow-cooker heaven. I love the ease of my slow cooker, and used it a few times a month... but I've been ramping up my cooking and I plan on using it multiple times a week now. I just ordered a smaller, 1.5 quart one to go with my big one!
I'm really excited to try the French onion soup and the 5 layer brownies. I think the brownies will be first. :)

YUM! Can't wait to try this! Did you use Mexican chorizo, or Spanish? I know it sounds like splitting hairs, but they are quite different, and I'm worried if I use the wrong one the soupifying step will go horribly wrong :P

i used the wrong type of sausage, so didn't turn out quite right - however, i know that if i used chorizo that it would have been very tasty!

I made this last week and it smelled absolutely heavenly while it was cooking. I was wishing I could eat the scent, if that makes any sense. However, we didn't think the flavors were as good as the aroma. I did use D'Artigan chorizo and didn't peel the sweet potatoes (why go to that work when it's going to be pureed anyway) but all in all, we were a bit disappointed in what we tasted. Ah well, not everything I cook can be a homerun!

The flavors here sound SO good! I think I should try, even though the temps are in teh 80s already.
Bama Cheryl - I wonder if leaving those peels on made the difference. Sweet potato peels, at least to me, have a weird "earthy" flavor that I can't imagine would be so good. Might try again with peeled potatoes!

I cooked this one yesterday - just chopped up the ingredients in the morning, threw it all in and turned it on, then came home, blended it, and voila! Delicious soup. So, so easy and so, so delicious. It tasted even better today for lunch! The flavours really came out and it tasted a bit sweeter. The sour cream is a must! Yum!

Made this one today. Chopped everything up and tossed it in the crock before I left for work. It smelled really good, and my son said when he came home, the broth tasted good (before we pureed it). I was disappointed though, Even after cooking on low for 8 hours, the flavors had not married really nicely. A friend suggested using a sugar pumpkin instead of the taters. And I was thinking trying with a butter nut squash.

It has become usual for Motorola to slack, when it comes to bringing major OS updates to its smartphones. For Milestone users, who are expecting their Froyo upgrade to be pushed onto their devices things are getting even worse.
In a post on the Motorola Owners forum, James King, Motorola European Marketing Director, makes a statement about the status of the Milestone getting Froyo in the near future:
"Next European Milestone and 2.2 (Froyo). I have expressed over the last few days that the decision is pending. The team here has been collating key pieces of information and views from this community in the last month and providing input to relevant teams in Motorola so they are aware. I am pushing for that decision to be made as quickly as possible, and we can then all go from there. Some others ask why the decisions on upgrades take so long, and why does implementation then take much longer still."
The statement highlights the fact that Motorola is not even working on getting Froyo upgrade to Milestone. Further, even if the decision will be positive, it will take sometime (a long time) before Milestone users will be able to upgrade their devices.
"What I can say and have stated recently is that upgrades are not a walk in the park. Sure there are shortcuts that people can take, but when you have to integrate software to a specific hardware, then test it and integrate with third party applications, let alone any innovation from ourselves, plus then get approvals to make this all official and safe… it is a big undertaking that requires planning and resource and third party coordination to see this all through. As I say, once we have the decision, we will inform."
If Motorola decides not to release the upgrade, it may lead to decreased sales of Android-based phones for Motorola.

Grove Theatre
127 S. Grove Avenue,
No one has favorited this theater yet
Showing 5 comments
jlinamen1229 is correct. The Grove Theatre's building is still standing at the corner of Grove Avenue and Prairie Street, as seen in Street View. Part of the building is still occupied by the Prairie Rock Grill, reopened in 2012. The former auditorium, however, once the location of the microbrewery, is now occupied by Discover Church. A new entrance was built for the church at 200 Prairie Street.
The information here is not correct. Though is currently stands empty, it has gone through several renovations and re-purposed first as a restaurant,then in 2010 as a performance venue. It has not been demolished.
Website for the brewery:
Here is a picture of the Grove Theatre is it looks today:
The Grove, Elgin was operated by Great States Theatres of Chicago, Illinois until its final three years under the banner of Henry Plitt theatres.
It was a single screen theatre with all seats on one floor. Total seating was 897. Mono sound only. 35mm only. Was considered a "shooting gallery" by Chicago film-row.

British soldiers in Afghanistan shown 'war snuff movies'
Posted By kurtnimmo On September 28, 2011 @ 6:46 am In Old Infowars Posts Style,World at War | Comments Disabled
The Independent
September 28, 2011
Disturbing footage of Apache attack helicopters killing people in Afghanistan is being shown to frontline British soldiers in "Kill TV nights" designed to boost morale, a television documentary will reveal.
The discovery of the practice comes in the wake of the damning verdict of the Baha Mousa inquiry into the conduct of some in the military. It casts fresh questions over the conduct of soldiers deployed abroad and has provoked a furious response from peace campaigners.
Andrew Burgin from Stop the War last night described it as the "ultimate degradation of British troops", comparing it to the desensitisation to death of US soldiers in the final stages of the Vietnam War.
The footage, seen by The Independent on Sunday, shows ground troops at the British headquarters in Helmand province, Camp Bastion, gathered for a get-together said to be called "Kill TV night".

Incredible Video of Meteor in Russia – UpdateFebruary 15th, 2013 at 3:06 am by Bill Steffen under Bill's Blog, News, Weather
Update: Fireballs have also been seen over California and Cuba. Damage from the meteor is estimated to be approx. 35 million dollars. Windows were broken in over 4,000 buildings. NASA estimates of the size of the meteor were increased to 55 feet across and the weight to 10,000 tons. The time from entering the atmosphere to break-up was 32.5 seconds. WOW!! This looks like a picture of the sun, but it's really a screen grab from this YouTube video of a meteor in Chelyabinsk, in central Russia. Part of the meteor landed in a frozen lake (pictures and video at link). Explosions/sonic boom(s), contrails and shattering glass in this video. The meteor looks to be visible for a good 15 seconds in the video with the tail cloud visible long after that. Reports are that at least 1,200 people were injured in a very sparsely populated area, many from shattered glass as windows broke with the sonic boom that accompanied the meteor. It has been confirmed that fragments of the meteor hit the ground. About 600 square meters (6000 square feet) of a roof at a zinc factory had collapsed. There was no immediate clarification of whether the collapse was caused by meteorites or by a shock wave from one of the explosions (more likely). The meteor occurred occurred at 9:20 AM local time. Keep in mind that this is at 55.2 degrees north latitude, about the same latitude as Ketchikan, Alaska, so this would have been around daybreak. ""Preliminary indications are that it was a meteorite rain," an emergency official told RIA-Novosti. "We have information about a blast at 10,000-meter (32,800-foot) altitude. It is being verified." The meteor could have been moving at 33,000 mph. More videos on YouTube.
This all comes the same day that an asteroid will pass very close (relatively) to the Earth at 2:24 PM EST. BTW, dear CNN – the asteroid is not "falling from the sky" and it's not "caused by global warming".
Do we need to look at protecting the Earth from Asteroids?
Also, there was a major earthquake in Russia, near Sakha (Siberia). It was magnitude 6.6 and was relatively shallow at 6.3 miles underground. The quake occurred at 1:13 AM local time. Siberia has been even colder than usual this month. Oymyakon had a low temperature of -70F on Wednesday. The warmest temperature they have had this month is -41F. They are 4.8 degrees colder than average for the first 2 weeks of February. Verkoyansk was -69F Wednesday morning. Their warmest temperature this month has been -47F and they are 7 degrees colder than average for February.

Chapter OneSeveranceI was born in 1954 on the edge of the Llano Estacado in West Texas, a desert so vast and featureless that the early Spanish explorers drove a line of stakes across this land to avoid losing their way. The German, Dutch, and Russian immigrants who scattered across West Texas at the turn of the century stringing barbed wire and sinking windmills in an effort to subdue the sunbaked land were a generally mule-headed people, averse to quitting anything once begun, but by the time my father was a young man things were changing, and he became the first of our line to leave our ancestral home'a small, flinty ranch nestled into the mesquite-covered hills near Robert Lee, Texas, where his own father and grandfather had been repeatedly ground down and bested by unending droughts and tightfisted cattle buyers. When I was born he took to the road as a modern-day drummer, driving a blue Plymouth Fury a thousand miles a week across Texas and New Mexico to peddle electrical supplies and hardware to the steadily declining oil and construction industries.One afternoon in 1969 (my fifteenth year), Dad's Plymouth rolled into the sunburned yard in a cloud of biting alkali dust. The driver's-side door swung open as the car skidded to a halt and one booted foot swung to the ground. My father cocked his slender frame on the seat, draped an arm over the steering wheel, then sat there looking at me for a moment before waving me over. Look at this, he said, unfurling a newspaper in my face. What do you think of that? Dad ran a hand through his thinning hair while I studied the paper. Well, what do you think? He was smiling. They've found oil inAlaska. Lots and lots of oil. I wasn't sure where Alaska was, but it was pretty far away, I knew that. It was much farther than El Paso or even Colorado, where my friend Jimmy went elk hunting with his father. Jimmy was gone for a week when he went to Colorado. If they had oil in Alaska, it probably meant Dad would be gone much longer. You gonna be gone some more? Dad smacked me on the shoulder with the paper, a small web of smile lines crinkling in the corners of his eyes. Well, I guess I might, he said, starting toward the house. He seemed in a hurry, didn't even close the door to the car. I could smell the Camel cigarettes he smoked lingering in the interior. Will you? I hollered after him. Be gone a bunch more? Don't worry, son. He was already to the open garage, disappearing into the cool darkness, taking the shortcut into the kitchen. You're coming with me. I squinted into the glare of the sun as I looked around at our home — an acre and a half of hard-packed Texas dirt with a cinderblock house set square in the middle of it; an oil refinery a half mile away that flared off so much waste gas at night that its burning made it possible to read without turning on a lamp; the scrubbed, level horizon of mesquite brush and caliche dirt, the fan of a windmill in the distance. When I spoke it was to myself and out loud. Sounds pretty good to me. Anyplace, I thought, was probably better than this.Dad traded and wheedled, made a deal with a busted wildcat driller for a thirdhand, two-ton Chevrolet oil field truck, then got busy converting it into a makeshift moving van. Barrel-sized saddle tanksstraddled the cab left and right. Fuel's expensive, especially in Canada, Dad said, unscrewing the pipe cap that covered the fill spout and peering into the hollow darkness of one tank. These'll give us plenty of range. It's a long damn road to Alaska. A swiveling crane the previous owner had made of steel pipe welded into the shape of an A-frame and mounted above the bed to lift welding machines, drill heads, and other heavy objects crashed to the ground as the pins were knocked free. A skeleton of wooden slats went up in its place to support a skin of aluminum in the shape of a box, and Dad showed me how to cut and slide Styrofoam sheets between the boards as insulation. We might have to live in here, he said, and I wondered if he was joking. Taking off for Alaska was such a wild idea that living in the back of a truck didn't seem so far-fetched.Mother watched with her arms crossed, shaking her head and smiling, then went back to packing. Her best friend dropped off a tub of peanut butter the size of a bucket, and then Jimmy's mother phoned to ask where we were going to get vegetables once we were living in Alaska. My parents put their arms around each other and laughed at that, but Mother's mouth tightened up when she thought no one was looking.Everything we owned was carefully wedged, packed, and padded into the back of the big truck and the door bolted shut. My eyes dazzled and danced from the sparkling blue glare of the welder a friend of my father used to build a tow bar onto the front of our old Ford pickup. With the pickup in tow behind the moving van, Dad drove carefully, double-clutching the overloaded rig up the long, slow rises, and Isat beside him, absorbed in a stack of magazines (Argosy, Outdoor Life, True Tales of the Old West) to spare myself the incessant boredom of the plains.

With a body twisted by adolescent scoliosis and memories of the brutal death of a woman he loved, Lynn Schooler kept the world at arm's length, drifting through the wilds of Alaska as a commercial fisherman, outdoorsman, and wilderness guide. In 1990, Schooler met Japanese photographer Michio Hoshino, and began a profound friendship cemented by a shared love of adventure and a passionate quest to find the elusive glacier bear, an exceedingly rare creature, seldom seen and shrouded in legend. But only after Hoshino's tragic death from a bear attack does Schooler succeed in photographing the animal — completing a remarkable journey that ultimately brings new meaning to his life.
The Blue Bear is an unforgettable book. Set amid the wild archipelagoes, deep glittering fjords, and dense primordial forests of Alaska's Glacier Coast, it is rich with the lyric sensibility and stunning prose of such nature classics as Barry Lopez's Arctic Dreams and Peter Matthiessen's The Snow Leopard.
About the Author
Lynn Schooler, author of The Blue Bear, has lived in Alaska for more than thirty years. He is a two-time winner of Alaska magazine's grand prize for wildlife photography and winner of the National Wildlife grand prize.

Some children and adults have an allergy or sensitivity to latex (rubber). Reactions can be seen when products made from latex come in contact with the person's skin, mucous membranes (like the mouth, genitals, bladder or rectum), or the bloodstream (during surgery).
Natural rubber latex is a milky fluid found in rubber trees. There is a protein in the fluid that can cause allergic reactions in some people. Some gloves, condoms, balloons, rubber bands, erasers, and toys are made using this natural rubber latex. Reactions to latex products occur when it comes in contact with the person's skin, mucous membranes (like the nostrils, mouth, or rectum), or the bloodstream (during surgery). For example, some people may react when blowing up a rubber balloon or breathing in powder from the inside of latex gloves.
Symptoms of latex allergy include:
Itchy or watery eyes
Wheezing or whistling sound with breathing
Hives or raised, itchy bumps on the skin
In some cases, severe reactions (anaphylactic shock) can occur and cause:
Trouble breathing
Chest tightness
Swelling of the throat or tongue
Severe reactions require prompt emergency treatment.
People who have frequent exposure to latex from medical procedures are at greater risk for developing latex allergy. They include:
Children with spina bifida
Children born with defects of the urinary system
Children or adults who have had many surgeries
People who have allergies to certain foods may also have latex allergies. The foods include: bananas, avocados, chestnuts, kiwi, passion fruit, papaya, figs, peaches, nectarines, plums, tomatoes, and celery.
Many items are made from latex. These include:
Everyday items
Medical supplies
Pacifiers, bottle nipples
Condoms, diaphragms
Rubber bands
Raincoats, rain boots
Surgical and exam gloves
IV tubing injection sites
Adhesive tape
Electrode pads
Blood pressure cuffs
Wheelchair tires
... and many more items
There are items that can be used in place of the items that contain latex. They are made from vinyl, plastic, or silicone.
Try to avoid all latex products. Use items that do not have latex in them.
If you need surgery or a procedure, talk to your health care provider about what you can do to prevent exposure and reactions to latex.
Wear a Medic-Alert bracelet or necklace with information about your allergy.
Carry a pair of nonlatex gloves with you, information about latex allergies, and/or a note from your doctor.
Be sure medical and school records have a latex allergy alert.
For a child with a latex allergy, teach him or her to know and avoid latex products.
Ask your health care provider about self-injecting epinephrine (or Epi-pens). Have them at home, in the car, at school, day care, and work.
Know what to do in case of an emergency. Discuss this with your child's provider and school nurse (for a child with a latex allergy).
Avoiding latex may decrease the chance of children developing this allergy.

And yeah, when Sarah Palin`s daughter gets pregnant out of wedlock but Mom doesn`t agree with sex ed. or abortion~I think there problems with that.
this is not an issue for moderates or democrats or whatever...but this IS and issue for right wing extreme religious ppl...which is who McCain played to with her nomination
normal ppl wouldn`t get bent out of shape about this...but its odd how there isn`t a major uproar in the conservative camp...maybe they`re growing up...but i remember when conservative would crucify the daughter and mother by association
but then why nominate her in the first place...since their big thing is religion, shouldn`t issues like sex and free will be the main thing on their mind, like the environment and our bill of rights are paramount in our minds?
also...why do far rights constantly say global warming is a myth/not a problem/not our fault? (Palin chooses it`s not our fault)
its the new iab thing, sarah palin

On sunday nights, while cooking that nights meal, I also cook a healthy vegetarian meal for the week's lunches. I portion it out when cool, and have a ready to grab-and-go lunch that I like and is healthy for me. Plus the added benefit of making sure I get some vegetarian meals added to my diet.
On weekends, I make vegetable soup in a crockpot. I freeze individual portions to take to work for lunch. Some weeks I make chicken vegetable, other weeks my choice is beef vegetable.
When grilling burgers, I always cook up 4 extras. I keep these precooked patties in the fridge and later reheat in the oven for a quick easy lunch or dinner with minimal mess and prep.
I really hate doing dishes, so it's so much easier for me to just grab the chip bag out of the cabinet. So now, when I do shopping, I buy plenty of sandwich and snack bags. When I get home and am putting everything away, I put the serving size of the chips and other snacks into the plastic baggies.

Adjournment Debate. - Hospitals Building Programme.
Wednesday, 23 June 1999
Dáil Éireann Debate
Ms O'Sullivan: I welcome the fact the Minister of State, Deputy O'Dea, is in the House because his efforts will be important in this regard. It is essential a paediatric unit is opened in Limerick Regional Hospital before the winter. As the Leas-Cheann Comhairle will know, there tends to be a rush on hospitals in the winter, particularly on paediatric wards dealing with sick children, which tend to be quietest at this time of the year. It is essential that work is done to put this unit in place by the autumn so it will be available for the inevitable winter rush.
Last winter there was gross overcrowding in the paediatric unit of Limerick Regional Hospital. That situation cannot continue for another winter not only for the sick children who are very vulnerable but also their parents who must sit on hard chairs between beds. There is also a danger of cross infection where sick children are close together.
I want to ensure the unit is open in the autumn. There is no reason it should not be because the building is ready and the unit is waiting to be opened. Sums have been done and those involved are ready to order the equipment needed to open the unit. All that is needed is the funding to employ the extra staff and provide for the opening of the unit. At present a maximum of 32 beds, although generally the number is 25, are available to children in the Limerick Regional Hospital. They are divided into two areas with smaller babies in one area and older ones in another. The staff are over-worked and conditions are not acceptable for sick children. The new unit will have 53 beds, 29 private rooms, a day unit and a high dependency unit as well as facilities for parents.
We should not have to wait any longer for this unit. I say that in the context of everything being ready and, in particular, in light of the huge budget surplus which is being predicted again this year. It has been predicted that we will have an extra £1.5 billion apart from the extra money made on the sale of State assets. To open the unit, we are looking for a minuscule fraction of that budget surplus. We are talking about less than £400,000 in the current year and £1.581 million in a full year. Even if the State buys Farmleigh House for £24 million – I note Vincent Browne said we should not spend money buying it because of the various other needs – and we forget about the sale of assets, if we get the £400,000 [1239] which we need this year, we will still have a ten figure surplus of £1,476,600,000, if my figures are correct. We are looking for a tiny amount and it is crazy not to allocate that funding. The Minister for Health and Children should fight his case with the Minister for Finance and he would have the country behind him. He should get money for units such as this, for the elderly, the mentally and physically handicapped and for waiting lists. I am sure there are many other needs. I honestly believe we should spend this surplus money on current needs and not just retain it in the coffers of the State. I think we have the second lowest debt among EU member states after Luxembourg. There is not a reason not to spend the money. The Minister would be the most popular holder of that office if he spent it and I urge that the money be made available this year for the opening of the paediatric unit in Limerick Regional Hospital.
Mr. N. O'Keeffe: On behalf of my colleague, the Minister for Health and Children, Deputy Brian Cowen, I am pleased to have the opportunity afforded to me tonight by Deputy O'Sullivan to address the House on the issue raised in relation to the opening of the new paediatric ward in Limerick Regional Hospital.
This hospital was originally built to cater for the needs of the health service of the 1950s. Because of a number of factors, including demographic changes, advances in medical technology and increased consumer expectations on the level of service which should he provided in our hospitals, it was clear by the early 1990s that the hospital was not prepared to meet the needs of the health service for the new millennium. This was because major capital developments did not take place on the site until the current redevelopment commenced in December 1995 when phase 1 commenced at a cost of approximately £20 million, including building fees and equipping. In August 1997 phase 2, which includes the new paediatric unit, commenced and the cost of this phase was also approximately £20 million, bringing the combined capital cost of these two phases of the redevelopment to in the region of £40 million.
The building works for phase 1 were completed last year and although most of the building works on phase 2 have already been completed the builders are not expected to hand over the paediatric unit to the Mid-Western Health Board until later this month. Some furnishing and equipping work will then have to take place before the paediatric unit will be able to accommodate patients at an acceptable level of care and the Mid-Western Health Board expects this will take a minimum of three to four months.
I hope the Deputy will understand that new units completed under major capital developments are normally commissioned on a phased [1240] basis as the additional Revenue funding required becomes available. In this regard, the Minister made £0.55 million available to the Mid-Western Health Board for commissioning of new units in 1998 and provided an additional £2.5 million for this purpose this year, bringing the total available for commissioning in 1999 to £3.05 million.
To enable the full commissioning of all the new units completed under phases 1 and 2, the Department of Health and Children has been involved in discussions with the Mid-Western Health Board to agree a programme of transferring services to the new facilities in a manner which maximises the impact of the available funding. One of the Minister's prime objectives in the forthcoming Estimates campaign will be to secure funding to enable the commissioning of phases 1 and 2 to be completed to ensure that the people of Limerick and the mid-west have access to the state of the art health care facilities which they deserve, including those in the new paediatric unit.
In this regard the Minister has asked me to put on record the additional funding which he has provided to the Mid-Western Health Board this year. Under the 1999 waiting list initiative £819,000 was provided for additional procedures in a range of specialities, including cardiology, ENT, gynaecology, ophthalmology, orthopaedics and general surgery. An additional £800,000 was also provided for the development of cancer services including oncology, haematology and palliative care. On the capital side he provided £410,000 for replacement equipment and minor capital works. This level of funding clearly demonstrates the commitment of the Minister to the ongoing development of acute hospital services in the region and he is confident the current discussions between his Department and the Mid-Western Health Board on the commissioning of the new units at Limerick Regional Hospital will be successful in achieving the earliest possible opening of the new facilities.
I thank the Deputy for raising the matter.

Philippines' Stone Noodles
These Stone Noodles, also known as "Pancit Bato", is only found in Bicol Region in the Philippines specifically in a town named Bato, Camarines Sur where it got its name and where these special noodles came from. In Filipino language, "bato" is translated as "stone" and "pancit" is "noodles".
Pancit Bato is one of the most delicious Bicolano dishes. Of all 29 kinds of pancit in the Philippines, Pancit Bato is a special one. It's rich in carbohydrates, protein, vitamins and minerals as these flat noodles can be mixed with chicken, pork, or shrimp and green leafy vegetables as well. Its mouth-watering taste makes it best eaten with Filipino's favorite morning bread, a hot "pandesal".
If you ever come to the Philippines especially in Bicol Region, don't forget to have a taste of these Stone Noodles.

|The Game Story:
|PURCHASE, N.Y. – The Manhattanville men's lacrosse team dropped a 16-5 matchup to the Eastern Eagles on Saturday afternoon at GoValiants.com Field in Purchase, N.Y. Five different players found the back of the goal for the Valiants, but it wasn't enough as the Valiants fell by a lopsided margin.
The Eagles got on the board first as Eric Waibel sent the ball past Manhattanville junior goalkeeper Dom Poletto (Engelwood, Colo./Regis Jesuit) just 42 seconds into the game. Eastern went on to score three more goals before the Valiants notched their first goal of the game as freshman Connor Castleman (Kingwood, Texas/Kingwood) scored to make the score 4-1.
Eastern scored twice more in the first period to take a 6-1 lead into the second quarter. Junior Will Sahakian (Natick, Mass./Rivers School) trimmed the lead to 6-2 with the first goal of the period off of a pass from sophomore Brendan Kuntz (Ridgewood, N.J./Ridgewood). The Eagles notched the next four goals of the contest with 7:48 to go in the opening half, chasing Poletto from the cage in the process. Freshman Paddy McClernon (Kingwood, Texas/Kingwood) came on in relief and yielded three more Eastern goals before the halftime break, as the Eagles led 13-2 at the intermission.
In the third quarter the Valiants got in the score sheet first again as senior Joe Daly (Mahopac, N.Y./Mahopac) netted his first goal of the game to pull his squad back within 10. Zac Ivy scored a man-up tally for his second goal of the game, but freshman Corey Steimel (Wyckoff, N.J./Ramapo) came back a few possessions later for Manhattanville to make the score 14-4.
The game continued to push towards the end of regulation as neither side scored in the fourth quarter until the 8:20 mark when Eastern opened up an 11 goal cushion once again. Freshman Travis Quinones (Nanuet, N.Y./Nanuet) scored his first career goal in his first-ever game at Manhattanville on an assist from classmate Connor Reeves. Eastern scored once more on new Valiant keeper Ray Zimlin (Graniteville, N.Y./Wyoming Seminary) to cap off the scoring and give the Eagles a 16-5 victory.
In goal Poletto suffered his tenth loss of the season against a pair of wins while allowing 10 goals and stopping eight shots, McClernon made six saves while allowing the next five goals, and Zimlin allowed one goal in just under five minutes of field time. On the opposite side of the field Aaron Benz played the first half of the game and allowed two goals while stopping three shots. Three other Eagle goalies combined to make four saves while allowing three goals.
As a team the Eagles outshot their hosts by a 49-17 margin, while scooping up as many ground balls compared to the Valiants' 22. Eastern also went 2-for-7 on extra-man opportunities while Manhattanville went 0-for-1.
Manhattanville (2-11, 0-3 Freedom) will head to the road for the final time during the regular season when they travel to Center Valley, Pa. to take on the DeSales Bulldogs on Wednesday at 4:00 p.m. Eastern (9-4, 3-0 Freedom) will return home for their final two games of the regular season with their first matchup coming against FDU-Florham at 4:00 p.m.
