How does this Crap site have 5x the traffic that ours does? DailyOM vs. elephantjournal.com
Okay, okay, maybe we're all on the same side—changing the world (and ourselves, along the way) for the better: but when your design sucks, your home page features chakra pillows and animal spirit guidance…well, I guess that tells me one thing.
Er, two things: that web traffic is all about 1) sending out a daily email to people, which they do and we don't and 2) being around for more than a few months is good for your google search and rankings. Once elephantjournal.com turns 1 year old (we've only been live since June, and have only focused full-time on the site since, officially, Jan 1) such sites better watch out, 'cause objects in your rearview mirror are bigger than they appear, and we don't love spiritual materialistic life-wasting bull.

Wished to tell you that your site rocks a in a most spiritual uplifting and inspiring way. Plus you are one of the few that make me laugh out loud, which is precious when you are on the arduous journey of self-transformation. I don't know how I found Elephant, as I live in Ottawa, Canada and have no links to this Denver-Boulder Buddhist scene, but you are right there as my home page and I forward your link often. I won't say to keep "visualizing" your success, as that is the language of all those dreamy, peacy, ego-soft sites that really get you no where in terms of growth. I will say to you to keep being true to the dharma you hold, to your Elephant-strong pursuit to share and awaken, and to the realness of who you are. Fluffy-sites are likely to float away with time, but not ones seeped in Elephant Power.
Hippiester? Are you spawning a new subculture?
I'm all about the Elephant movement. Being in the business, i am subscribed to all of those sites, but never spend more than a second deleting them as they come in. But yours…..ahhhh, now that's another story. I look forward to reading anything and everything – and always laughing along the way. Thank You for *Dave Chapelle voice KEEPIN IT REAL…
alright, I'm a survivor of years of New Ageness and think that all of it needs to be satirized: if we're too serious about our path, then we never get past our ego attachment. However, I think it's important to respect the Daily Om –
perhaps their material has helped people to heal themselves….
[…] word "Crap" seems to be working its way into a few of my posts, lately. Too lazy to move your fingers […]
Exactly! Self-absorption is the biggest trap in self-realization: paradoxical isn't it? My next article will be about how channeled entities are trying to take over my body (not!)
am i the only one in the Lower Fiddy who doesn't have a clue who this "crap site" is? who is this alleged daily om? and what the hell is a chakra pillow?
lol…and who say this isn't a "crap" site! keep on truckin' people.
Gee, thanks for leading me to the really cool, hip website, I had never heard of the Daily OM. Now I can have lots more fun, fun, fun.

Mysterious lake appears in middle of Tunisian desert
A mysterious lake has appeared in middle of the Tunisian desert and has instantly become a tourist attraction.
The stretch of water, dubbed the Lac de Gafsa, appeared like a mirage; one minute there was nothing but scorching sand, the next a large expanse of turquoise water, The Guardian reported.
A Tunisian journalist said that in the first few days, the water was crystal clear; a turquoise blue. Now it's green and full of algae, which means it's not being replenished.
He said that this region is overflowing with large deposits of phosphate, which can leave behind radioactive residue so there is a real risk that the water is contaminated and carcinogenic. There's no security of any kind.
The journalist added that the site is certainly stunning and there are many large rocks perfect for diving, but it has become infested with green algae, meaning the water is stagnant and conducive to diseases.

He's 12 years younger than the Oregon man he's pursuing, but that man remains a racing force as well.
GOSHEN — Justin Gillette has won 77 marathons, yet in the bigger picture, Chuck Engle can look over his shoulder, strain his eyes and not even see Gillette approaching — for now.
Gillette is No. 2 all-time in U.S. men's marathon wins, according to the Association of Road Racing Statisticians.
One of the Goshen resident's long-term goals is to be No. 1 in the world.
No. 1 is Engle. And with 173 victories, the North Bend, Ore., man has well over twice as many as Gillette.
The 43-year-old Engle, though, also has 12 years on the 31-year-old Gillette.
"I think I'll catch him," Gillette said this week. "There's not a doubt in mind. He's a hundred in front of me, but if you divide a hundred by 12, you get what, eight? I've had a rough year so far this year, and I've already won seven."
All-Time Men's U.S. Leaders
173: Chuck Engle (age 43)
77: Justin Gillette (31)
41: Michael Wardian (40)
41: Robert Preston (45)

40: Steve Holehan (48)

79: Ole Sporleder (Ger, 45)
77: Justin Gillette (U.S., 31)
66: Frantisek Michalicka (Svk, 49)
Source: Association of Road Racing Statisticians
Gillette's quick to acknowledge, though, that there are variables outside his control that could implode his plans, including health, other emerging runners and exactly how long Engle can go on.
"Chuck Engle is just a freak of nature," Gillette said of the man who resembles a bodybuilder more than a distance runner. "I don't know how he does what he does, but I just have to be happy with what I can do."
Gillette, a Goshen College graduate who grew up in Missouri, won his first ARRS-recognized marathon in 2001 when he was 18. He didn't add his second until four years later, but then he started making a habit of it in 2006, when he won five more.
Blessed with rapid recovery ability that he's further developed with dedicated training, Gillette has captured 54 victories over the last 46 months. In November 2011, he won marathons on back-to-back days, a feat he'd like to try again sometime.
Engle, meanwhile, didn't win his first ARRS-recognized marathon until he was 29.
However, he's won 155 over the last nine years, including an outrageous 40 in 2011 (Gillette's best calendar year is 19 in 2012).
Overall, though, Engle may be slowing. His fastest time in any of his last nine victories is 2 hours, 46 minutes, 17 seconds. Gillette's been faster than that in 10 of his last 11 wins.
The two have not competed in the same marathon since 2008, according to Gillette.
"He won't race against me," Gillette claimed. "We were in Alabama in January at the starting line and he went back to the hotel."
A year ago, Gillette suggested that maybe Engle "hates me," but this week Gillette said "hate might've been too strong of a word. I guess if somebody can do something better than you, sometimes you may not like them. I can consistently run week in and week out faster than his best times now."
For both men, the bottom line if they strictly wanted to add to their win totals is that they would need to assess the rest of the potential fields in the events they enter.
"I could choose them that way, but what's the point?" said Gillette, who's competed in about 150 marathons, including Boston three times. "That would be like beating your grandma at checkers over and over. You have a chance to make more money running a bigger race. And I take more pride in running a better time than I do running a sub time and winning a small race."
Gillette's career-best time of 2 hours, 25 minutes, came during a second-place finish. He estimates he's finished second "dozens" of times.
While Gillette would like to pass Engle, he also insists it's "not very important."
"If I were to prioritize," Gillette said, "it's always been that I needed to run hard enough and frequent enough to make enough money at it so my wife could get out of college and move on with her life. To get a Ph.D (which wife Melissa recently earned) is kind of tough, so for the past four years, I stayed home with the kids (Miles, 4, and Jasmine, 1) and just trained as hard as I could train."
With that degree behind Melissa, who is a counselor at Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center, Justin's training flexibility may increase.
His win totals are almost certain to keep increasing, and regardless of whether they're ever enough to catch Engle, there's one particular total that Gillette finds appealing.
"A marathon is 26.2 miles, so I was thinking, 262 wins would be pretty cool," Gillette said. "If I don't make it, fine, but if I can have 10 years of about 15 wins a year, that puts me right there."

RECALL OF THE DePUY ASR HIP REPLACEMENT DEVICE: KNOW YOUR RIGHTS
This alert is to help those persons who have been victimized, or will be victimized, by a failed hip surgery replacement implant between the years 2003 to present. By letter dated August 24, 2010, the DePuy (pronounced like "Pepe Lepui") Orthopeadics, a subsidiary of Johnson and Johnson, recalled 93,000 defective implants, on a so called voluntary basis.
The two hip replacement devices recalled are known as the ASR Hip Recurring System and the ASR XL Acetabluor System, commonly referred to as ASR. According to a source familiar with the protocol of Cottage Hospital, in Santa Barbara, if you had a hip replacement surgery at Cottage Hospital any time in the last seven years, you have probably had it replaced with one or both of these DePuy devices due to the Hospital's preference amongst competing brands. That leaves approximately 1,300 potential patients at risk over the last five years.
If you have not already done so, you need to talk to your treating physician about how the recall of the ASR and the possibilities of its failure to work within the first five years will affect you. It could require a replacement surgery with the attenuating rehabilitation. The device is supposed to last at least fifteen years. Johnson and Johnson recalled this replacement hip system because the devices have a 12% - 13% chance of coming loose, fracturing the bone around the implant, releasing titanium metal flakes into your blood stream and causing tumors, as well as greatly increasing the possibility of infection.
A 12% failure rate is astronomic in the world of implant recalls. Meanwhile, DePuy has begun a very aggressive campaign to find the recipients of the defective devices and attempt to settle any potential case the victims may have for the cost of replacement surgery. You will receive a letter from DePuy (actually from their insurance company named Broadspire) who will attempt to have you sign a document for your authorization to receive all your medical records from anywhere, to be shared with any "service provider" contracted by DePuy. DO NOT SIGN THIS AUTHORIZATION FOR MEDICAL RECORDS.
The authorization will be abused and all your medical records will be shared with claims adjustors, attorneys, computer statistics, and against you in order to settle for the least amount of money possible. It will not cover the pain and suffering, e.g. the disappointment of a failed surgery, months of rehabilitation, the need for a replacement surgery, time, expense, lost wages, and in many cases years of never ending hip pain requiring cortisone shots every three months.
Because of the ASR never working for many patients it has made life more miserable both after the implant surgery and before the replacement surgery by knowing you may have your hip replaced again, and start the rehab process from the beginning again. It is always more difficult to mend the second time, but the relief is worth it.
The next step is to obtain your medical records from your treating orthopedist and bring them to an ASR recall lawsuit counselor such as myself. Your case can then be confidentially analyzed and a well planned strategy can be pursued on your behalf alone. It is not advisable to be part of a class action lawsuit unless you have little or no injuries or cost of damages. The attorneys are the only ones that come out ahead on class actions. If your case is more serious than that you need private legal counsel familiar with the implant recall and its fiscal ramification that will handle your case on a contingency fee basis.
WHAT DePUY IS NOT TELLING YOU.
According to the letter you will receive from DePuy, or on their website at www.DePuy.com, the "voluntary recall" of the ASR products came about as follows:
"Johnson & Johnson announced the recall of the DePuy ASR Hip Implant system after data from the National Joint Registry of England and Wales showed that 1 out of every 8 patients (12%-13%) who had received the recalled devices had to undergo revision surgery within five years of receiving it. It is suppose to work for 15 years. The recall involved the ASR XL Acetabular System, a hip socket used in traditional hip replacement, and the ASR Hip Resurfacing System, a partial hip replacement that involves placing a metal cap on the ball of the femur. Only the ASR XL Acetabular System was approved for use in the US."
The truth is that according to the Australian Joint Registry – the second largest database in the world after the England and Wales National Joint Registry – issued seven reports to DePuy starting in 2007 that identified problems with the hip implant system. The ASR system was finally withdrawn from the Australian market in December 2009."
DePuy has long known the problems caused by their ill designed hip replacement device and yet they continued to sell it to Americans for almost a year after being ousted from Australia. That means DePuy made BILLIONS of dollars off the risk of your suffering.
Mark S. Cornwall will be attending the National Hip Replacement Summit in Chicago October 21, 22 and 23, 2010. He can be reached for a free evaluation at 805 845-7558, or email him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Robert's waving bunny bid aloha to Greyhound bus firm
POSTED: 10:59 a.m. HST, Jun 10, 2011
Who is Robert's Rabbit mascot waving to"
We've all seen Robert's Hawaii's tour buses. On the side is a rabbit running in profile. On the back, it's waving. Who is it waving to? The story starts in Tijuana, Mexico.
Company President Robert Iwamoto Jr. went to the dog races in Mexico. The greyhound dogs chase a mechanical rabbit around the track. They never catch it. It gave him an idea.
Greyhound was a major competitor of Robert's Hawaii. The bus company's dog mascot was shown running on the side of their buses. Iwamoto decided his mascot would be a rabbit, and he placed it in profile on his vehicles.
A few years later when Greyhound pulled out of Hawaii, Robert's added a rabbit to the back of its motorcoaches, waving "aloha" to the former competitor.
Bob Sigall, author of "The Companies We Keep" books, looks through his collection of old photos to tell stories each Friday of Hawaii people, places and companies. Email him at firstname.lastname@example.com

Man beheads ma-A A +A
Friday, July 25, 2014
Percival Gabitanan, 34, is in jail after he allegedly killed his 70-year-old mother.
A MAN believed to be under the influence of illegal drugs allegedly beheaded his own mother inside their house at Purok Villa Esperanza, Barangay Tangub, Bacolod City Thursday morning.
Police identified the suspect as Percival Gabitanan, 34, who used to be a trisikad driver.
Inspector Richard Fajarito, deputy commander of Police Station 8, said Gabitanan was arrested after he allegedly killed his mother Elidena Gabitanan, 70, using a bolo.
Around 2:45 a.m., Elidena had a heated argument with her son. After several minutes, Elidena was heard asking for help and begging her son not to kill her.
The suspect told to his mother, "patyon taka kay indi ka na mapuslan, mahuya ka mag gwa sa balay nga wala sang bayo (I will kill you because you are useless, you should be ashamed to go outside naked).
Fajarito said the body of the elderly woman was found behind their shanty. Both her hands were tied with a cloth while her legs were tied with a cellophane. Her severed head was on his son's bed.
Police recovered from the scene of the crime the bolo with bloodstains, a knife sharpener, and a bamboo pole.
Fajarito said Gabitanan hit his mother with the bamboo pole on her face and head before he beheaded her. The neighbors were afraid to help the victim because her son was armed.
Rosalinda Alfiscar, 40, and Mary Ann Arangote, 30, both neighbors of the victim, told the police that around 2 a.m., they heard a loud noise from the house of Elidena then heard her asking for help.
Alfiscar and Arangote said they asked for assistance from a barangay watchman, however, when they arrived, Gabitanan had already killed his mother. They found him sitting on his bed with the head of his mother on his side.
According to the neighbors, the suspect has a murder record in Manila and they have been staying in Barangay Tangub for almost 14 years. Elidena has two other children in Manila.
Fajarito said the suspect could be under the influence of illegal drugs because he was not acting normal when he was arrested.
He said they will file parricide charges against the suspect, who is detained at the Police Station 8 jail. His mother's body was brought to a funeral parlor.
Gabitanan admitted that he's a drug user. He said he killed his mother because she looks like a witch, but expressed regret for what he did to his mother.
He also confirmed that he was involved in a murder case in Manila.

Alright so I figured it would be a good idea to track outlaws training for gymkhana. I can't remember his age at the moment but he is an endurance/ex racing arabian gelding whom I have taken on as my new gymkhana project. He has tons of speed.. that's his problem ...he doens't quite know how to shut it off sometimes soo we are working alot on that and building muscle more then gymkhana patterns. I have also been getting him working more off my leg then with my hands.. he's doing great! So I guess I wil start with todays events and go from there
August 28,2010
Went out at around 6:30 and fed him waited a bit and saddled him up (english) at about 6:50-7:00. This is his first time that I know of in an english saddle so I jsut lunged him to get him used to it and put some ground poles down.. sent him over them a few times each way till he started to relax and drop his head.. that was about 45mins. Then I tacked up western for some in saddle work. Did more ground poles..raised and on ground lots of transitions and circles and even took him threw the poles pattern a couple times (used all leg no rein it was amazing) he did awsome he was picking up his leads awsomely and working great off just my leg.
Then at about 9:30 I brought him out and gave him a nice bath. :] I am very proud of him so far he is doing great
Here are some pics so we can track his progress..right now he's round with little muscle and a high head most the time

|Baird Signs With King College
|Written by Mike Kelly
|Wednesday, 01 February 2012 10:16
Well, it's not official just yet, but Watauga High senior Kendyl Baird will make it official Thursday morning at 9:15 a.m. in the WHS Media Center, when she signs her National Letter of Intent with King College, a Division II school in Bristol, TN, and a member of Conference Carolinas. Baird scored
14 goals (she was second on the team in that category) and had a team-leading six assists for the Pioneers last spring. The Pioneers (12-6-1) finished in a second-place tie with Hickory in the Northwestern 3A/4A Conference last season. WHS lost to Mallard Creek in the opening-round of the Class 4A state playoffs.

Christina Aguilera's Too-Tight AMAs Dress: Fashion Turkey of the Week?
What are fashion fans most thankful for this week?
Not Christina Aguilera's American Music Awards outfit!
After going pants-less last month, the "Dirrty" singer sparked yet another style uproar performing in L.A. Sunday in a white, way-too-tight bandage dress by Herve Leger; the frock's less-than-flattering fit even provoked fans to wonder whether the 30-year-old singer and Voice mentor is expecting.
PHOTOS: Xtina and other stars who gone out sans pants
For that talked-about performance look, Aguilera is among this week's "Fashion Turkeys" in a Thanksgiving edition of Fashion Police, hosted by Us Weekly's Andrea Lavinthal and Justin Ravitz.
PHOTOS: What all the stars wore at the AMAs
But Aguilera's not the only superstar to win the dubious honor. Fellow AMA performer Jennifer Lopez may have gone too over-the-top with five super-sexy outfits -- including one sparkly, flesh-toned body suit that recalled (ripped off?) Britney Spears' "Toxic" days.
Also sparkly, and maybe not in a good way? Kim Kardashian, in the front row for brother Rob Kardashian's Dancing with the Stars Monday finale night in a sequined tuxedo.
PHOTOS: Christina rocks a svelter shape in a sexy video from 2010
Catch up on the "turkeys" of this week in the Fashion Police video -- watch now!
Tell Us: Who else should be nominated for this week's Turkeys?

American planners had long recognized the vulnerability of the Philippines to Japanese attack. In July 1941, President Franklin F. Roosevelt named General Douglas MacArthur commander of United States Army Forces in the Far East (USAFFE). His air commander was Major General Lewis Brereton. By the fall of 1941, Brereton had priority in aircraft deliveries, and in early December, the Far East Air Force (FEAF) possessed 35 Boeing B-17s Flying Fortresses, more than 100 modern Curtiss P-40 Warhawk fighters, and some 135 older aircraft.
At 2:40 a.m. on 8 December 1941 (7 December on Hawaii time), the U.S. Navy's Asiatic Fleet Headquarters in Manila learned of the attack on Pearl Harbor but then had trouble informing MacArthur. An hour later, MacArthur's chief of staff, Brigadier General Richard Sutherland, heard a commercial broadcast reporting the attack and woke the general. Official word from the War Department did not arrive until 5:30 a.m. Brereton placed his aircraft on standby and requested permission from MacArthur to strike Takao harbor, Formosa, to destroy Japanese warships and shipping gathering there for the invasion of the Philippines. MacArthur refused permission, and Sutherland denied Brereton access to MacArthur.
At 9:20 a.m., Japanese army aircraft bombed Baguio, the Philippine summer capital north of Clark Field. Fog on Formosa, however, delayed the Japanese navy raid on the Clark and Iba airfields. At 11:30 a.m., reports of incoming aircraft reached FEAF headquarters. Clark Field received a warning, but it was not passed to V Bomber Command. Although the Americans had one radar station operating and nearly 10 hours had elapsed since the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese caught most of Clark's aircraft on the ground, launching 53 bombers and 44 Zero fighters at the airfield. All the attacks on Luzon cost the Japanese only 7 fighters lost. The Americans lost 18 B-17s; 35 P-35s and P-40s; and another 25 to 30 B-10s, B-18s, and observation aircraft. The FEAF ceased to exist as a meaningful force on the first day of the war.
Blame for the American disaster has never been suitably determined. Complacency played a role, as American strategists discounted the technical achievements and fighting ability of the Japanese. Brereton wrote that had permission been granted to attack Formosa, his Clark Field bombers would not have been caught on the ground. Sutherland blamed Brereton for not dispersing all his B-17s to the south (only half had been sent there) as ordered prior to 8 December, whereas MacArthur held the War Department responsible for not strengthening the defense of the Philippines soon enough. Nonetheless, although army and navy commanders at Pearl Harbor were removed following the Japanese attack there, MacArthur retained his post in the Philippines.

UVA SOM Policy on Student Mistreatment and Other Unacceptable Behaviors
The University of Virginia School of Medicine strives to achieve a respectful, cooperative, and professional environment for students in the School of Medicine and affiliated educational and clinical settings. The environment in which medical students learn must be free from mistreatment and other unacceptable behaviors that may be used adversely to control, influence, or affect the well-being of any medical student; exhibiting such behaviors conflicts with the mission and values of the School of Medicine. Allegations and complaints of the occurrence of these behaviors will be quickly and fully investigated and, if the allegations are founded, appropriate disciplinary or other actions will be initiated. The terms "mistreatment" and "unacceptable behaviors" include but are not limited to:
- threatening or abusive language, profanity or language that is perceived by medical students to be demeaning, berating, rude, loud or offensive, publicly belittling or humiliating, and/or
- actual or threatened inappropriate physical contact, and/or
- other forms of behavior that are perceived as intimidation or harassment by medical students, and/or
- behaviors perceived to be a pattern of disruptive behavior or interaction that could interfere with teaching, learning or adversely impact the quality of care render to any patient, and/or
- bias, defined as a threat or act of harassment or intimidation – verbal, written or physical – which is personally directed against or targets a student because of that student's race, age, color, disability, national or ethnic origin, political affiliation, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, or veteran status.
The Medical Student Advocacy Committee (MSAC) is available to hear, evaluate, and respond to reports of mistreatment or unacceptable behaviors directed at or witnessed by medical students.
Medical students can make reports about mistreatment or unacceptable behaviors in person or by phone or email to any member of the Committee. They can also make anonymous or identified reports to the Committee using the "Student Listening Post" web site.
The University also has a web site for all students for reporting bias complaints: Just Report It
The Medical Center Policy Manual policy 0262 provides another means by which to note complaints of unacceptable behavior involving members of the Clinical Staff, GME Trainees, or Allied Health Professionals.

Harrison County's Middle School boys' basketball season began Wednesday evening at the middle school with the Bracken County Polar Cubs as the opponent.
The seventh grade game opened the evening and it didn't take long for Harrison County to establish superiority. Zack Pulliam scored eight of his team high 21 points in the opening period as the seventh grade Colts doubled the score 12-6 in the first quarter.
Brock Jenkins had nine in the second period as the lead was stretched to 10 points at the half, 29-19.
As 55-year veteran coach Russ Riegel puts it "Experience is the word. We have a really great bunch of athletes in grades six through 12. For the first time in my 18 years, we have a program of athletes who want to be wrestlers."
Of course, some of the experience is in the coaching staff. Riegel's 55 years (the last 18 at HCHS) and No. 1 assistant Luke Tucker's eight years gives the Harrison County staff an edge on most of the competition.
The Harrison County Cross Country program held its annual awards program Saturday at the County Extension Office.
Three runners received senior awards as they have completed their careers as cross country runners. They are Chelsee Mattox, who ran from 2008-2010, Shelbie Wright, who also has 2008-2010 on her resume, and Keenan Palmer, who ran from 2007-2010.
The 2010 Rookie of the Year was Caylin Mattox, while her sister Chelsee was the most improved Fillies runner. Jacob Marsh was the most improved for the Thorobred' runners.
Depending on what team you support, where you live and what sport or sports you follow different broadcasters have influenced your opinion of the game.
I have been fortunate for the biggest part of my life to live in an area where high school sports have been broadcast so that was my first exposure to broadcasters.
WTCJ in Tell City had a man who owned a jewelry store who was also the play-by-play man with the high school band director filling the color guy position for the football and basketball broadcasts.

Comments about JBL PRX425 15" 2-Way Loudspeaker System:
These speakers sound really good. The PRX425s have good, tight bass and smooth highs. I'm driving them with a QSC GX7 - 1000 watts per channel at 4 ohms - and they really crank out some SPL. The PRX425 pumps out some pretty good bass but in my opinion, you still need a good subwoofer for most of todays music. I have a single PRX618-XLF sub. Paired with the PRX425s, I have a system which is capable of playing very loudly with a good professional quality sound. I have the low pass filter for the PRX425s set at 50hz, allowing them to help the single subwoofer carry the bass content. I plan to add another PRX618-XLF and when I do, I will raise the high pass filter to 75 - 80hz and let the subs carry the lows.
Another great thing is that the PRX425s are lighter than most of the other dual 15 speakers out there because they are constructed from plywood rather than MDF or particle board. They are substantially lighter than the JBL JRX125, the Yamaha S215V, the Behringer VP2520 the Cerwin Vega 215 .... the list goes on. These are definitely one of the best purchases our band has ever made and I am completely satisfied with the PRX425.

Susquehanna Largemouth
Type: Tidal
Region: Northern
Location: Susquehanna Flatts
I went out Thursday 6/9/11 around 4:00pm to the bridges at the mouth of the Susquehanna River with a friend Matt and used cut bait, bloodworm's, and a few live eels but only ended up with a catfish and being chased off the water by the storm that hit around 7:45pm. The water tempurature was 84 at Red Point and dropped to 79 in the Susquehanna River. When I went back out Saturday 6/12/11 at 7:00am with my uncle Parke John Jr. and brother-in-law Tim Falcioni we tried drifting the east edge of the flats off of Camp Rodney and also off Carpenters Point. I caught this largemouth bass as well as another catfish and my uncle caught 2 catfish (one on his first or second cast) and largemouth bass as well. We were using crank baits. The water is clearing up but still has a way to go. My uncle and I have caught a few very, very small rock fish during this open season. Hopefully our luck will pick up.

I have a problem and need advice. My son just informed me of his wedding date … my problem is I already had planned and paid for a vacation with my significant other and will be gone that date.
First, they are already married, with a child but want to do this 'formal' ceremony. In addition, the original 'formal' ceremony date was in May which I gave them deposit money for and which they then cancelled to reschedule a different date, without giving anyone the actual new date … thus, the problem now with my vacation on their new date.
My son is pretty much demanding that I cancel my vacation and be at this 'wedding' and I don't know what to do. I will be disappointed to miss it but am also sick over cancelling the pre-planned vacation.
I have a bit of a conflict with my husband over saying please. He wants me to use it all the time with him and the kids and sometimes I feel really offended when he will end my questions with 'please.' I feel, by asking please, that I'm begging him to do what I think is already part of his responsibility. I want to say that I do say please when I'm asking for a favor, like, asking him to get me a drink of water or running an errand. However, there are lot of other times when I just asks things like, will you go change the baby's diaper, or will you take out the garbage, where I don't always. Likewise, I don't always say please when I'm asking/telling the kids to clean their rooms or bring their bikes in the house or to go brush their teeth. What is the rule for when I need to say please and when I don't?

In the meantime, players, coaches, parents, alumni and fans can hang a bow around some important information in the Huntsville Examiner of Dec. 7: "Less than two months after UA System Chancellor and University of Alabama in Huntsville Interim President Dr. Malcolm Portera announced that the Chargers would be removed from the NCAA's Division I and returned to club level, the decision has been reversed. On Tuesday night the university's administrators met with the team's supporters (some of them anyway) to discuss plans to save the team with help from the community at large. While the university has kept the details quiet, the hockey team is certainly back on the right track."
UConn commissions study
In an effort to remain competitive in the college hockey landscape, the University of Connecticut has commissioned a study of its hockey program, which is a non-scholarship team competing amongst mostly fully-funded scholarship programs.
The athletics department released the following this week: "The University of Connecticut Division of Athletics has named Stafford Sports, LLC, a nationally recognized sports consulting firm, to conduct a complete evaluation of its men's ice hockey program. The purpose of the evaluation is to assess the program's current level of support to that of Atlantic Hockey league members and other programs in the region. The assessment will include financial support, staffing, facilities and potential revenue sources."

The assessment will include financial support, staffing, facilities and potential revenue sources."
-- Bob Snow
Before Dec. 7, the program was derailed in a town where "W" stands more for "wondering" than "winning."
"I'm going to write a book," said second-year coach Chris Luongo about the roller-coaster decision-making after a loss to New Hampshire Thanksgiving weekend that ended a marathon two-week bus trek from Huntsville to New England and back. "The odds are against us coming back; maybe 50:1. What else are we going to do at this point than stick together?"
Luongo is no stranger to bureaucratic decisions, having experienced the dismantle of the Wayne State program in 2008 as assistant there before joining Danton Cole's staff two years ago and succeeding him in 2010.
"You got to hand it to them," UNH coach Dick Umile said, "they had a long trip and played three games. I give them a lot of credit while they're fighting to keep their program."
How about 4,500 miles by bus with three losses and being outscored 20-1?
No matter, the "W" fight appears to have taken a favorable turn after a unique Thanksgiving Day dinner, complete with historic NHL connections.
"We celebrated Thanksgiving at Cracker Barrel," chuckled former NHL player Danny Geoffrion, grandson of the legendary Howie Morenz and Bernie "Boom Boom" Geoffrion of Canadiens and Rangers fame.
Son Blake, the 2010 Hobey Baker winner and now a member of the Nashville Predators, completes the first-ever four-generation family to play in the NHL while sons Brice and Sebastian fill two important roster spots at Alabama-Huntsville, where Geoffrion is actively involved in advocating the program's survival.
"There's been a reversal," an elated Geoffrion told NHL.com this week. "The new chancellor who oversees all three major Alabama state schools was bombarded by alumni and us parents day in and day out [to keep the program.] He appointed a new president who seems to know [the game and its importance to Huntsville alumni.] The alumni asked the new president for a meeting and we had a very constructive meeting.

While those dominoes find a hopeful place into which to fall, several others are front and center daily to keep the team's season on some kind of even keel with a current 1-19-1 record.
The last eight games of the season are a pair each with Denver, Duluth, Maine and Miami, all perennial championship contenders.
"What we try to convey to the team," said Luongo who played at Michigan State before logging 218 games on the NHL blue line of the Senators and Islanders, "there's only one way to go about this, and that's to work as hard as you can and see what comes out the other side. While there are a lot of factors against us, there has been a consistent effort from the guys. We expect that of each other. The only thing worse than losing is to lose your dignity."
"You're taking what it's supposed to be all about -- the kids and their education -- and taking 23 lives and putting it upside down," said Geoffrion in parent speak. "We're grateful this is getting turned back around. The kids were basically free agents when the plug was first pulled. It will be a black eye to the game of hockey if hockey ends in Huntsville."
"When we took the job," Luongo said, "we had a different [University] president in place that believed in the vision of what Division I hockey would look like and do for the University of Alabama-Huntsville, and spread that vision across the country and the world. There's been hockey in Huntsville for 33 years from youth leagues to this. Surprisingly enough, the rink is full and it's a great place to play this sport."
For the cautious Luongo (who did not return comment about the most recent announcement), and his team captain, the focus remains unchanged since the beginning of the season.
"The realistic goal the next two months is continue to approach it one day at a time. Managing the psyche of the team is the biggest task. We'll need to do that on a day-to-day basis. It's definitely different than what you'd be normally doing and much more fragile. But we'll find [our definition] of victories along the way to help us manage or needs."

"That's a tough one, to keep going when things get even more challenging away from us. The key is just keep working hard. The games we play well are because of hard work; the games we don't are our downfalls because we're not working hard."
What does Easton think about the careers of two Geoffrions, Mac Roy, Justin Cseter, Kyle Lysaght, Jeff Vanderlugt, Andrew Creppin, Doug Reid, Michael Webley, Alex Allan, Craig Pierce, Graeme Strukoff, Curtis DeBruyn, Ben Reinhardt, Nickolas Gatt, Lasse Usivirta, Mat Hagen, C.J. Groh, Clarke Sauders, and John Griggs?
"Right from the get-go I was here for the whole haul," Easton said. "[The school] committed to me and I committed to them. I promised four years here and I was going to give them everything I had for this program. I'd say the guys deserve the same."
"They've given it all they have," Geoffrion said. "It's been a life-learning experience; it will make them stronger as players and people."
In a hopeful tone four weeks back, Luongo offered a sage summary about what was and what might be for continued hockey in the deep south of Division I.
"This is not an equation you solve," he said, "but also not that difficult to find ways to approach it and make more in your favor than approaching it poorly."
On Campus Clips: Stat leaders at the break include Duluth's Jack Connolly in points with 29 (12 goals); Colgate's Austin Smith in goals with 18, including an NCAA-leading five shorthanded; T.J. Tynan from Notre Dame in assists with 20; and North Dakota's Brock Nelson in power-play goals with 9. Between the pipes, Colgate's Alex Evin tops all in goals-against average at 1.48 and save percentage at .948, while Clarkson's Paul Karpovich leads in minutes played at 1,210. Minnesota's Kent Patterson heads the list in shutout wins with 6 in 20 games.

- Cell phones emit radiofrequency (RF) energy, which is another name for radio waves (see Questions 1 and 2).
- Research suggests that the amount of RF energy produced by cell phones is too low to cause significant tissue heating or an increase in body temperature (see Question 2).
- Concerns have been raised that RF energy from cell phones may pose a cancer risk to users (see Questions 1 and 2).
- Researchers are studying tumors of the brain and central nervous system and other sites of the head and neck because cell phones are typically held next to the head when used (see Question 5).
- Research studies have not shown a consistent link between cell phone use and cancer. A large international study (Interphone) published in 2010 found that, overall, cell phone users have no increased risk for two of the most common types of brain tumor—glioma and meningioma. For the small proportion of study participants who reported spending the most total time on cell phone calls there was some increased risk of glioma, but the researchers considered this finding inconclusive (see Questions 6 and 7).

1). In addition, children may be at greater risk because their nervous systems are still developing at the time of exposure. A large case-control study of childhood brain cancer in several Northern European countries is in progress. Researchers from the Centre for Research in Environmental Epidemiology in Spain are conducting an international study—Mobi-Kids—to evaluate risk from new communications technologies (including cell phones) and other environmental factors in young people ages 10 to 24.

But many Americans might be surprised to learn that some of these "children" are 22 years old.
"Most of our children are 15 to 17 years old," a spokeswoman for Texas Catholic Charities told Breitbart.com. "But some stay in our program until they are 22 years old. If they're still working on getting their high school diploma, they can stay until they're that age."
The spokeswoman mentioned that foster families are given $40 per day to care for each immigrant they take in from Catholic Charities, with the federal government as the funding source. A foster family willing to take on the work and responsibility of caring for the maximum six children at one time can receive more than $7,400 a month. The immigrants in their care, meanwhile, receive taxpayer-subsidized education, health care, transportation, and an "allowance," the Catholic charities spokeswoman said. She did not mention the amount of the allowance or how often it is given.
More than 50,000 unaccompanied children, adolescents and young adults, mostly from Central America, have arrived at the Texas border over the past several months, and federal officials are predicting the number may reach 90,000 for the year. Many are said to be fleeing gang violence, rape, and human trafficking in Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador. Some have been placed with relatives in the United States, whether or not the relatives are here legally or are among the estimated 11 million or more illegal aliens. Many of the young immigrants are still being housed at military bases and other federal facilities.
President Obama has asked Congress for $3.7 billion for food and housing for the immigrants, along with beefed up border enforcement. A Senate bill for $2.7 billion and a $169-million House proposal both fall well short of the president's request.

Rampage Jackson is going to play himself in a comic book, with powers he obtained from a meteorite
Rampage Jackson: Street Soldier will be in the hands of little children in just a few months, and there's nothing you can do to stop it. We at MiddleEasy can't wait to see an illustrated Rampage Jackson kick some cybernetic ass and then attempt to give the youth of America a life lesson at the end of each issue. That premise should make all of you feel warm and fuzzy inside -- ODB was wrong, Rampage Jackson is for the children.
Still want to know more about what a comic book Rampage is up to? Check out this excerpt from the press release.
Rampage Jackson: Street Soldier follows the adventures of Quinton "Rampage" Jackson as he gains powers from a meteorite and decides to use them for good. When good people end up in bad situations, Rampage has no problem getting ugly to set things right!
Lion Forge will release a stand-alone issue of Rampage Jackson: Street Soldier in August. Previews are currently available to press. The series will officially launch in October.
Don't worry, we've already contacted the publisher about getting a preview copy and material for MiddleEasy. When we receive it, you can bet your life savings it will be published on MiddleEasy.

Some of you seem to be missing the point. People do whatever they want because there is no system in place to discourage them from leaving all the time.
Ok, let me get this straight. You would be pissed off to get a win from a team that you knew was going to lose, and they knew they were going to lose? If they surrendered, it would be a waste of...
You can compare the two because they are both online, multiplayer, strategic, competitive games.
Surrender would definitely work in QL. I've been in plenty of matches in which a teammate...
I agree. Things have much improved lately. Hopefully they keep getting better.
Why? It's a good suggestion and others agree. The recent DevPick included the idea as well.
Agreed, it's lame when this happens.
The map is perfect the way it is now.
I don't consider it a fine example, but I agree that the recent update is a small improvement; however, id still hasn't addressed most of the items mentioned in the OP:
Also, your "proof" is...
You're right; they don't keep us in the loop.
Yeah, Charlotte servers would be nice. There's Raleigh, too.
I agree, but check this out.

What he said.
Exactly! Do this please.
Bump and all that jazz. Flight option please. :cool:
Definitely, they should use the "Dev Blog" to track issues/feature suggestions.
Haha true! They should give us that one for sure.
Yeah, it would be better to be able to change settings ourselves, but DevPick configs are a step in that direction.
I thought this was a good idea, so I posted it here.
There have been a lot of fun Dev Picks so far, and it would be fun to revisit them from time to time. Free players should be able to join,...
I've had a lot of fun with this weekend's DevPick. It actually seemed to revive TDM! :confused: Let's make it an option when starting Pro servers.
Yeah, flight should definitely be an option for Pro servers.

Mr. Aronson, an associate professor at New York University, has been a leader in investigating the effects of social forces on academic achievement. Along with the psychologist Claude Steele, he identified the phenomenon known as "stereotype threat." Members of groups believed to be academically inferior — African-American and Latino students enrolled in college, or female students in math and science courses — score much lower on tests when reminded beforehand of their race or gender.
Rap-Quoting Judge Preps Housing Patrol Trial10/05/12
MANHATTAN (CN) - A federal judge cited Jay-Z, noted rapper and legal philosopher, in a footnote to her order approving a lawsuit challenging New York City's practice of sending "vertical patrols" of police to search public housing residents.
"In one of his most popular songs, the rapper Jay-Z - who grew up in NYCHA's Marcy Houses in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn - showcased his knowledge of these Fourth Amendment rights," U.S. District Judge Shira Scheindlin wrote in a footnote of her recent order.

Loitering Rules in Projects Are Too Vague, Judge Says10/04/12
A federal judge in Manhattan declared on Thursday that the rules against loitering in public housing complexes were unconstitutionally vague, and gave the police too much discretion about whom to arrest.

Comments about Adjustable Right-Angle Clamp for Gibraltar Road Series Racks:
When I received this clamp I was surprised to find the right angle adjustment access is INSIDE one of the clamps. So the drum rack tube must be pulled out first. This makes NO SENSE to me, since the main reason I was purchasing this was for easy breakdown and set up. You CAN NOT adjust the angle without first removing one of the rack tubes. If you are not looking to do this, then it is a fine piece of hardware.

288 businesses enroll with NM health exchange
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Hundreds of small businesses have signed up with New Mexico's new health insurance exchange.
A total of 925 small-business owners opened accounts during the first full month of operation of the Small Business Health Options Program, and exchange officials announced Friday that about one third of those businesses have completed enrollment.
Business owners who wanted their employees to begin receiving insurance benefits by Jan. 1 had to enroll by last Thursday.
Enrollment will continue on a rolling monthly basis, but the Santa Fe New Mexican reports (http://bit.ly/1h0eAT4 ) many business owners are still weighing how the program will affect their Login to read more

Hey all,So i am beginning to delve into backpacking, and wanted to know if there are any guides avaliable on how to understand and properly read topographic maps? I am basically clueless on the entire subject, and dont understand how one goes from knowing of a trail to mapping it on a topographic map to give oneself an understanding of the area they will be in. I haven't figured out how people map out routes and trials without there being any kinds of markings on the maps. Does anyone have an tips or guides to help this dumbfounded individual on understanding how to use topographic maps?Thanks,Mike
Hi MikeYou can download one from the Australian bushwalking FAQ web site I maintain, athttp://www.bushwalking.org.au/FAQ/FAQ_Navigation.htm#BookPDF, about 5 Mbyte.Cheers
I like this book http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0071361103/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DERIf you are near a city see if there is a chapter of http://orienteeringusa.org/
Here are some links on orienteering for you to try. If you enable your PM , I can send you some PDF manuals.Army Study Guide for topographical mapshttp://www.armystudyguide.com/content/powerpoint/map_reading_land_navigation/topographic-map-2.shtmlBoy Scout LinksOrienteering merit badge requirements with some ideashttp://www.boyscouttrail.com/boy-scouts/meritbadges/orienteering.aspGo to the orienteering section half way down the pagehttp://members.cox.net/davidbm/troop78/troop78.htmKifaru Back Country Navigationhttp://kifaru.net/navigate1.htmhttp://kifaru.net/compass1.htmhttp://kifaru.net/plot_blust.htm
I will second the suggestion about orienteering. Some orienteering organizations have regular "meets" open to the public. They have at least one course laid out for the experts, but then they have easier and easier courses as well. At one meet, I saw a course laid out for kids and complete beginners. Basically, you could not get lost, and it simply allowed you to practice with a topo map. A beginner can "learn their way around" as they practice on harder and harder navigation courses.Another line of outdoorspeople to check out is the local cave explorer "grotto." They have to read topo maps to be able to find their way to cave entrances, so that is just another place to practice.Different scouting organizations have map reading programs, especially for kids.Military training always has a land navigation class. Some branches, like the Army and the Marines, have excellent training. Of course, you may not want to sign up for three years just to get land nav training.FM 3-25.26 is the (correct) textbook on map reading and land nav.--B.G.--

You are absolutely right. I'll go change that now.That's what happens when you have too many books crowded together on the shelf.The correct land nav FM is 3-25.26.--B.G.--
Bjorn Kjellstrom's "Be Expert With Map & Compass" is still about the best book on the subject. It has gone through many revisions.Be sure to get a decent Silva-type protractor compass to use with the book and in the backcountry with your topo maps.

(based on MC.1993's breathtaking illustration, The Blind King)
Long ago, before the close embrace of history and myth had been pried apart, there was a Great King. A former general who had proven himself a worthy leader, his name carried weight throughout the land. He ruled with wisdom for many years, and was dearly loved by his people. His military prowess was unmatched, and his wealth towered above all others. His great citadel was the epicenter of culture and art, and all who entered gaped in awe of its magnificence. His accomplishments were so great that rumors began to spread, connecting his ancestry to the gods themselves.
And while the Great King cared dearly for his land and people, they were overshadowed by a deeper love: his love of family. He had only one son, a youthful adolescent, whose bright, naive eyes and brazen curiosity reminded the king of his late wife. The son, while sweet, was unremarkable; he was neither foolish nor gifted, neither meek nor strong. The Great King, far from disappointed, saw this as an opportunity; the boy was a blank slate unto which a king would be fashioned. This vision of the son inheriting the empire remained engraved in the mind of the Great King, influencing his every decision. His aspirations for his son remained steadfast until the very moment the Great King suddenly, inexplicably died.
The Great King's son was immediately crowned the new sovereign and was placed upon the golden throne. The radiant crown was too large and heavy for him, and it often sank below his forehead. Frustrated and embarrassed, he flipped the golden headpiece so that it sat on his head upside down, where it rested comfortably. He saw his illustrious court through the emeralds and sapphires that adorned his sublime crown, and slowly learned to govern his kingdom like his father before him. In this way, the son of the Great King became known as the Crowned King.
One day, a diplomat arrived from a subservient neighboring kingdom to the north. An arrangement had been made under the Great King, that the neighboring kingdom would pay tribute every few years to avoid terrible military wrath. The diplomat bowed deeply before the Crowned King with a chest full of luminescent gold and jewels, and said, "These treasures are the finest in our land, and we give them to you, Crowned King. Do you accept our payment?"
But the king was acclimated to the gleam of such riches, since they perpetually covered his eyes and surrounded his head. Through the colorful film of his jewels, the Crowned King saw only an unremarkable lump of vaguely glimmering trinkets. "This is a pathetic collection of trifles," he replied, "and I will require more, if this is how you intend to pay me."
The confused diplomat was sent on his way, and the Crowned King indifferently relaxed on his throne.
On another day, a local governor arrived at the royal hall. His clothes were ragged, his skin pale and sickly, and his face gaunt. "Dearest Crowned King," begged the governor, "a terrible famine has taken hold across the land. My subjects are starving, and even us noble folk are struggling to survive. Won't you please help us?"
The Crowned King looked over the governor; from his bejeweled perspective, the governor appeared to be absolutely fine. "Governor," replied the king, "I fear you are over-exaggerating your plight. Your cheeks look youthful, your skin glows, and your clothing is refined. If this is what you consider starving, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a while longer before I give you any aid."
Shocked by the callousness of his king, the governor left in silence.
On another day, a beautiful, graceful bride was presented to the Crowned King from an allied kingdom to the west. He waved her away before a word had been spoken; from behind his mask of jewels, he could not see her true beauty.
On another day, news arrived that the neighboring northern kingdom had declared war upon the Crowned King. His apathetic insults and rejection of their tribute had defiled their honor, and their army was already on the move. The king called his minister of war into the room, and asked him, "How will we destroy these impudent trespassers? Have you mustered our army?"
The minister replied, "I am sorry my king, but our army is starving, and has already been routed. There is nothing between their soldiers and our great citadel!"
"What of our ally?" asked the king.
"They were insulted by your rude dismissal of their bride, and will not help us in our time of need."
And so the enemy army surrounded the great citadel, and began to build siege weapons for the imminent battle. The
Crowned King made his way up to the imposing stone walls that protected him, and looked out at his invaders.
Unfortunately, the jewels covering his eyes had made him incredibly short-sighted, and he could not see a single soldier.
"Let me out through the front gate!" insisted the king.
His subjects tried their best to dissuade him, but the Crowned King was vehement. "I cannot see the enemy," he stated, "and must confirm this threat with my own eyes."
The enemy soldiers, dumbstruck that the Crowned King had simply strolled out from his walls, did nothing as he obliviously walked past them. Even their hushed murmurs failed to reach his ears. His eyes did not detect a single soldier, and he pressed further and further away from the citadel in search of his foe. Eventually, he turned around and saw nothing; he and his kingdom were lost.
His citadel fell without a single drop of blood.
The Crowned King, lost in his reverie of gold and emeralds and sapphires, fell into the clutches of madness. He roamed the countryside for the rest of his life, fruitlessly yelling orders at any unfortunate soul who managed to catch his attention. It is said that his short-sightedness rendered him nearly blind, and that one day, the Crowned King met his end by inadvertently walking off a cliff. Such a fall- so they say- was the only way for the cursed crown to be removed from his incurable head.
