Ricky Brewer wasn't on the field last year, when Wyoming players raced over to the CSU sideline at Hughes Stadium to grab the Bronze Boot in a postgame celebration on the Rams' field.
But the senior linebacker for the Colorado State University football team has watched it unfold on video over and over again since returning from an NCAA suspension that kept him from playing last season.
"Let's just say it put a little extra motivation in me," said Brewer, a Denver native who said he's followed the Border War rivalry since he was "a little guy." ...

I stumbled around in the closet. There were to many clothes. There were dresses, shorts, skirts, t-shirts, tank-tops, buckles, belts, and millions of other things stacked in the walk in closet.
I grabbed some black shorts, a gray t-shirt that said "Bite me" in big black letters around the chest, then the essentials, and finally some black high-top Converse.I felt the weird shocks coming from the necklace stop after slipping my shoes on.
Weird freaking necklace! I thought to my self, trying to understand what the heck it did. I checked my self in the mirror one last time before walking out of the closet.
The claustrophobia feeling started to wearing off.
My hair had already dried by itself and was in ringlets around my face. I stated brushing my fingers through each ringlet trying to make my hair less curly. Coming up short.
I kept walking, right past my bed, past the bookshelves. Till at last I was standing directly in front of the bedroom door.My hand quickly began to resting on the cold silver door nob. I wanted freedom.
My heart pounded in my ears. Quickly I found my self not able to turn the nob.I felt that if I turned that nob, I would fall into an abyss. If I didn't turn the nob I was in an abyss.
I sighed shaking my head lightly. This was all nuts, what ever game my mind was making, was about to stop.
With a rush of anger I twisted the nob, the door opening without a sound.
The light outside of my room, was dim. It made the hallway dark and eerie.
My heart slowed down to a light beat. I felt as if in that hallway I was being watched. I knew in my head, that of course I was being watched. I sighed taking a slow step out into the hallway.
The comfort of my room vanishing behind me. I turned, looking into my room. From afar it looked like I was rich.
My dressers and bed frame were made of pure dark waxed oak wood. The bookshelves a fine polished cedar. I felt my cheeks blush. I couldn't imagine myself rich.
I slowly shut the door. Then I turned back, my mind trying to stay concentrated on anything other than the weird feeling of being watched.
My right hand slipped into my shorts pocket. My index finger rolling around the circular pad on my i-pod. It finally landed on "King for a Day, by Pierce the Veil featuring Kellin Quinn."
I hummed walking down the right part of the hallway. My right hand sliding down the black painted wall to my right. The wall itself was completely strait with no bumps.
Darker, and darker it became. Still I hummed, trying to keep my mind at ease.
The volume was so loud I couldn't hear anything around me. So when the hands wrapped around to cover my mouth, I had no clue's other than my weird feeling of watched to tell me I had been followed.
My first reaction was to scream but I was muffled insistently. My body was shoved on the wall. My nose being smashed.
With out a moment of thought I bit down, on the fingers or hand. My teeth connecting with flesh.
The taste of iron filled my mouth, before I was brutally released. My knees wobbled.
I could see in the darkness only a figure, no face.The smell of blood burning my nose, and on my tongue. I wasn't going to wait around to find out whom I had bitten. So with a jolt of energy I pushed my self off the wall to a ruff run. My legs wobbling, threatening to buckle.
Quickly my feet pounded below on the wooden floor. My music still blaring, but it had changed.
Now as I raced down the dark hallway scared to death, and my i-pod was blasting "In the End, by Black Veil Brides."
Over and over the words "Who will tell the story of your life?" rang in my ears. Fear could not describe what I felt. No it felt more like I was having a heart attack on a rollercoaster.
I suddenly felt the warmth of some one behind me. I let out a wale. My scream crashing around in the hall, loud enough to drowned out my music. So loud that I thought the scream wasn't mine.
When I opened my eyes, the light stung. My mouth itched. I looked around the brightly lit room. No one was there, only a huge lamp pointing right at me. I felt tears pooling in my eyes, from the burning light.
I quickly looked down trying to stop the burning. I was sitting in a chair. I pulled on my right arm, it didn't budge. I started to panic yanking widely with both arms. All I achieved my to feel my flesh being ripped around my wrists. My feet were in the same condition. Roped to the chair, or chained I couldn't quiet tell.
I tried to take in a deep breath but ended up taking in about 10 really short breaths. Which wasn't helping me.
The tear that were held back began to rip past my eyes. Dripping down my cheeks. I couldn't stop them. I was terrified. Never once, could I not defended my self.
I opened my lips ready to scream, but as I pulled in the huge breath. Expanding my lungs, preparing for the scream of the century some were behind me a door swung open letting in cold air.
At once the door closed and suddenly Storm was in my face. He stared in my eyes. I lost the air and suddenly his hand was below my eyesight. The bonds on my ankles jerking a bit before finally falling limp.
I jerked back. My chair rushing back.
Storm was still on his knees and now I could see in his left hand a shiny thick angled blade.
My chair slammed into a wall, knocking the air out of me. My head banged back. In a flash I fell to the floor and Storm was sitting beside me. He looked sad, as I moaned trying to move.
I lasted remember Storm coming in this same room, exposing his true self. Creating horrible memory for me. Things that I can never forgive or forget.
So why was he being kind now? What was this?
I cried as my wrist were unbound. I jerked punching at him. My hands barely brushing the surface of his chest before I felt exhausted. He pushed his hands underneath me. Mu body was lifted, my head spinning. Suddenly as if I fell asleep my mind left me in darkness. The more I searched I found I was not in complete darkness but one of my horrible new memories.

15 Feb 2013 Accountancy Age
By Calum Fuller
UK WATER COMPANIES are using debts listed on offshore stock exchanges as a device to avoid tax, it has emerged.
Six companies - Northumbrian, Yorkshire, Anglian, Thames, South Staffs and Sutton and East Surrey water - have been accused of using tax havens to exploit a legal loophole in order to avoid paying tax.
According to the report by Corporate Watch, the companies collectively borrowed around £3.4bn at high interest rates from subsidiaries of their owners based abroad. The owners then received the payments tax-free, issuing the loans through the Channel Islands stock exchange, listing them as 'quoted eurobonds'.
When UK companies pay interest to non-UK businesses, they normally have to withhold 20% of the payments and pass them to HM Revenue & Customs.
However, where loans are issued as quoted eurobonds on a recognised stock exchange, such as that in the Channel Islands, they are exempt.
Northumbrian Water was highlighted as "the most brazen case", paying around 11% interest on about £1bn of loans from its owner, the Cheung Kong group, a Hong Kong-based corporation run by Li Ka-shing, the ninth-richest person in the world.
The Treasury and HMRC are believed to have considered shutting down the loophole last year, but opted not to, despite concerns over the the way in which companies were using it.
The report also found the debt accrued by the industry was costing the UK consumer £2bn more than it would if it were publicly financed.
That figure was reached from the difference the government pays to borrow money and the rates that the water companies secure on the international markets. In all, the companies accumulated debt of £49bn and paid more than £3bn in interest payments in 2012, as well as £884m in dividends. Total revenue in 2012 stood at £10bn, the report claimed.
The water industry insisted consumers receive a "good deal". Cited in the Independent, the industry defended itself.
Director of economic regulation for trade body Water UK Paul McMahon said: "The tax framework has been put in place by the government and companies work within that regime. Clearly government debt is cheaper than private debt. But it's not free and the public sector is inheriting the risk that comes with that."
Anglian Water did not dispute the report's figures but said it contributed "£150m in other taxes" to the UK economy in the past year.
A Southern Water spokesman said it was "undertaking a major capital improvement programme from 2010 to 2015. The spokesman added: "At £1.8bn, it is the equivalent of spending nearly £1,000 for every property in the Southern Water region over the five-year period."
Northumbrian Water said it could not comment on the report until it had spoken to its shareholders. However, it argued that the figure for its tax payment was "unrepresentative" and that Northumbrian Water Ltd, one of the group's operating subsidiaries, paid £30m in tax in the 12 months to 31 March 2012.
Thames Water accepted that interest rates had effectively wiped out operating profits, but said a tax credit received for 2012 came from "previous years" and that investment was at its "highest-ever" level.
Sutton and East Surrey Water told Corporate Watch it could not comment because it was "up for sale".
South Staffordshire Water confirmed it had eurobonds in emails sent to Corporate Watch and also said it was investing heavily.
Ofwat told Corporate Watch it "does not have the power to prevent any change of ownership. However, following a change of ownership we consult on the ability of new owners to be the fit and proper owners of a regulated water company. We have made a number of amendments to the regulatory ringfence conditions in companies' licences to ensure we regulate companies within larger groups effectively".

UK GA to get UNICOM
First Posted: Sat 04 Sep 2004
It looks like the UK is finally going to get its own version of the American UNICOM.
After much debate on our very own Flyer Forum the CAA has published proposals for what it calls 'Safetycom'.
The new edition of CAP413 has a new section (6 in chapter 4) which deals with 'Radiotelephony Reports at Unattended Aerodromes'.
CAP413 says it is "expected to be introduced in the United Kingdom in 2004/2005".
There is no information yet on what the frequency will be (apparently one freq for whole of UK) but we hope it will be 123.45

I recently was given this Wildfire Scooter(50cc) S2. It was left in the elements for over 8 months. It would not start when I first got it. I took off the carb, cleaned it. checked the petcock, works(flows with vacuum applied, closes when not). Checked ALL wires for a loose connection, have not found one. I am starting to think its the electronic choke, I haven't connected it to a 12v source to see if it slowly moves... but would that cause it to run for a few seconds and die? It acts like it is starved for gas but the flow dosen't seem to have a problem... I have cleaned the carb twice, Everything is clear, both Jets... I am some what mechanically inclined, and to ME, it dies like its got a grounded connection or bad connection to the IGN maybe??? Thank you so much in advance for any input, I know these aren't the best scooters, but you can't beat FREE99!

Why You Should Add Snowshoeing to your Winter Training
By Tim Edwards
Photo by: Karen Edwards
Snowshoeing is easy to gear up for. For about a hundred dollars, you can get a fully functional set of snowshoes. Racing style snowshoes are more expensive but are lighter weight, narrower and more aggressive. Some of the winter clothing that runners use in the northern climates works well for snowshoeing. One difference between the disciplines is that snowshoeing kicks up a "rooster tail" of snow behind you and having some sort of nylon or water resistant pants and jacket will keep you dry and happy. Water resistant gloves are also handy in case you put your hand down in the snow at some point of the workout. As with any winter sport, keeping dry is the key to staying warm. Make sure all your clothing is non-cotton and wicks the sweat away from your skin.
Your two intensity choices for snowshoeing are hiking or running. Hiking can be done on trails or cross country. When going cross country, it is difficult to get lost as all you need to do is backtrack if you're not sure where you're going. Snowshoeing across virgin snow, whether deep or not, is always more work than packed trails. The rule of thumb is the deeper the snow and softer it is, the larger the snowshoe you select.
Running should be attempted with shorter snowshoes with a tail to help direct it when it drags in the snow. Slightly higher steps are required in each stride but all in all, your normal running gait will do you well. It should take you less than a few minutes to get into a comfortable running pattern.
Snowshoes are the all-terrain vehicles of winter travel. You can go over downed logs, up and down hills and even traverse iced waterfalls. The only terrain you want to avoid is pavement and water. The former will dull the crampons, or teeth, on your snowshoes while the latter will give you wet feet which can be uncomfortable at the least. If you are attempting to go across a frozen body of water, verify the ice is thick enough for safe travel.
Many of the same running workouts you do during the season can be done on snowshoes. Hill repeats are a blast and quite tough after the first couple. Tempo runs really sharpen your cardiovascular system. The number of foot strikes decrease by about 20 to 30 percent with snowshoes so perform your foot speed workouts on the treadmill. Cruise intervals are excellent on a nicely packed flat trail while fartlek works well on rolling terrain.
Snowshoeing allows the runner or triathlete to significantly increase their leg strength during the offseason. Substituting a couple of running workouts per week with snowshoeing will make you a better runner come the spring and put you in position for an excellent competitive season.

TOKYO (AP) - Accusing Russia of failing to live up to its commitments, President Barack Obama warned Moscow on Thursday that the United States has another round of economic sanctions "teed up" - even as he acknowledged those penalties may do little to influence Vladimir Putin's handling of the crisis in Ukraine.
Obama's frank pessimism underscored the limits of Washington's ability to prevent Russia from stirring up instability in Ukraine's east and exerting influence over elections scheduled for next month in the former Soviet republic. A diplomatic accord that offered a glimmer of hope for a resolution to the tense dispute is crumbling, and Russia has warned of a firm response if the country's citizens or interests in Ukraine are attacked.
With no appetite in the U.S. for a military response, Obama is largely banking on Putin, the Russian president, caving under a cascade of economic sanctions targeting his closest associates. But the success of that strategy also depends on European nations with closer financial ties to Moscow taking similar action despite their concern about a boomerang effect on their own economies.
"I understand that additional sanctions may not change Mr. Putin's calculus," Obama said during a joint news conference in Tokyo with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. "How well they change his calculus in part depends on not only us applying sanctions but also the cooperation of other countries."
"There was some possibility that Russia could take the wiser course after the meeting in Geneva," Obama said. "So far at least, we have seen them not abide by the spirit or the letter of the agreement."
The president said the U.S. has crafted a new package of sanctions to punish Russia for failing to follow through on the Geneva accord, but he stopped short of saying he had, in fact, decided to move forward with those penalties.
"There's always the possibility that Russia tomorrow or the next day takes a different course," he said. "Do I think they're going to do that? So far the evidence doesn't make me hopeful."
Echoing comments from other officials in Washington, Obama said a decision on the sanctions would come in a matter of days, not weeks. That timeline would appear to put the decision in the midst of Obama's eight-day Asia trip, which also includes stops in South Korea, Malaysia and the Philippines.
The U.S. and Europe have already issued asset freezes and visa bans targeting Russian and Ukrainian officials in response to the Kremlin's annexation of the Crimean Peninsula. But those penalties have appeared to do little to convince to Putin to avoid fomenting unrest in eastern Ukraine, where the U.S. is accusing Russia of fomenting unrest.
On Thursday, the Ukrainian government and pro-Russia insurgents reported at least two deaths on the pro-Russia side during clashes in east Ukraine. The fighting was the first since Ukraine's acting President Oleksandr Turchynov on Tuesday ordered the resumption of military operations to root out the pro-Russian forces.
Putin has denied that his country is the guiding force behind the insurgents who have occupied government buildings in nearly a dozen cities in Ukraine's east. Russian officials have instead focused their attention on the forces Ukraine's government has sent to the region in an effort to counter the occupying insurgents.
"If our interests, our legitimate interests, the interests of Russians have been attacked directly, like they were in South Ossetia, I do not see any other way but to respond in full accordance with international law," Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Wednesday. He was referring to the 2008 war that led to the breaking away of the Georgian republic of South Ossetia.
In that conflict, Russia launched an invasion of Georgia after it unleashed an artillery attack on the capital of the separatist region, where Russian peacekeeping forces were stationed.

I've wanted to learn Java Enterprise for a while now, but the fact that it won't run on Win98 regular kept me back. I Saw on the screensavers show that I could put two Operating systems on my computer(I decided to use Linux as my other operating system, even though I've never used it before, figure I'll learn two new things), so I have some questions, and if anyone could help i'd appreciate it:
1.Will Java Enterprise SDK run on Linux RedHat v7.1? I see at java.sun.com it is available for v6.1
2.I heard Linux is free, (which is good since i'm unemployed), does anyone know where I can download v6.1 or v7.1 for free(if JE SDK works with 7.1)? I have a cable modem and plenty of time so huge files won't be a problem).
Thanks for Reading my message, your a very kind soul

1. I can't say for sure, but I expect it will run on anything after RH6.1.
2. RH distributions are freely available. If you have a CD burner, the easiest thing is to download the CD images, burn them, and boot from the main install CD-ROM. You should start your explorations at the Red Hat site (http://www.redhat.com).
You might also consider the Mandrake distribution - my favorite. It's based on RH but is better at setting up your hardware devices. http://www.mandrakesoft.com.
If you need help getting started as a Linux user, the best place is usually a local Linux user group - they can be found in many cities.

In Britain and Australia, several Muslim medical doctors and engineers have been arrested following a series of failed car bombings. The arrest of these well-educated professionals, together with the Egyptian doctor Ayman al-Zawahiri's role as al-Qaeda's deputy leader, raises questions that go far beyond disaffection among Muslims and the consequences of America's misadventures in the Middle East.
Doctors and engineers, after all, are professionals. They are well-off, well-established members of society, not marginal figures whom we might expect to be drawn to desperate acts of violence. Moreover, they come from a scientific background, and science is usually not associated with religious zeal or political fanaticism.
Of course, only a minority of zealous Muslims espouses political violence, and only a tiny number of Muslim professionals set off bombs. Nevertheless, the presence of doctors and engineers in fundamentalist movements stands out. In fact, fundamentalist leaders often have professional backgrounds. Doctors who organize groups based on literalist readings of scripture and engineers who lead Islamist political parties are familiar figures throughout the Muslim world.
One reason for this is the difference between the cultures of basic science and applied science. Throughout the world, physicists and biologists tend to be more skeptical and less religious. Among engineers and biomedical professionals, however, conservative, even fundamentalist religious leanings are not so unusual.
This phenomenon is not unique to Islam. In the United States, literalist Christians with engineering backgrounds have long led opposition to Darwin's theory of evolution. Compared to biologists, the ranks of medical doctors include a much larger proportion of creationists.
Likewise, in Muslim countries, it is not unusual for engineering professors to denounce Darwin as a fraud, and many well-known doctors argue that modern technological and scientific developments are prefigured in the Koran.
In the Muslim world, applied science has even more religious and political entanglements. In their effort to overcome centuries of military and commercial backwardness, Muslims have sought to industrialize, rationalize administration, and adopt modern forms of political life. However, a constant concern has been to adopt these changes without corrupting Muslim culture – to become technologically adept and yet remain devout Muslims.
In this effort, professionals in applied science, as people who would help Muslim countries catch up with the West, have enjoyed enormous prestige. Engineering programs are in high demand, and engineers enjoy a status comparable to lawyers and doctors in the West. The best and the brightest young Muslims go into applied science, while basic science languishes.
With their important role in modernization, applied scientists engage in cultural debates as well. A doctor may choose a secular path, or try to integrate a traditional faith with a modern profession. Such choices are directly connected to debates over the direction the whole society should take.
To complicate matters further, the Islamic world is in a period of religious experimentation. Traditional doctrines and supernaturalism remain vigorous, but the structures of religious authority are changing. Today's fundamentalism is a modern way of being religious, more suitable to a literate, urban population than a peasantry guided by traditional religious scholars.
Traditionally, Muslim scholars achieved status by mastering socially useful knowledge, which was Islamic law. Today, however, applied science is also useful knowledge for the modern world. As a result, in a modernizing environment, doctors and engineers can find themselves in positions of religious authority, leading a Koran study group and interpreting scripture.
The Muslim world is home to many successful movements that combine doctrinal conservatism with a modern outlook that supports capitalism and embraces technology. Professionals have been integral parts of such movements, because modernization encourages action rather than resignation. Political ideas are easily translated into religious language, and in extreme circumstances, violent jihadism is used to express political frustrations.
But the possibility of violence should not distract us from noticing that fundamentalist convictions also motivate positive political activism. Islamists (such as those in Hamas) gain credibility among Muslim populations because of the social services and community support that they help to organize. Indeed, fundamentalist professionals often excel in such activism. Their puritanical religious style sets forth an ideal morality with clear-cut rules that are similar to the constraints of an engineering project. Engineers set out to change the world according to a blueprint, as they were trained to do.
Religiously colored political violence will always attract some professionals. But, again, it is a tiny number. The majority of observant Muslims are peaceful, and most Islamists today have adopted more moderate, democratic politics.
Increasingly Islamism is becoming a form of right-wing populism. But, like right-wing Christians in the US, Islamists can be legitimate parts of a democratic political landscape. Indeed, one virtue of democracy is its ability to dampen violent tendencies. If we are to encourage democratic trends in political Islam, we must learn to think of Islamists as political opponents rather than as violent adversaries who may have medical and engineering degrees.

Voiding cystourethrogram
A voiding cystourethrogram is an x-ray study of the bladder and urethra that is done while the bladder is emptying.
Alternative Names
Cystourethrogram - voiding
How the Test is Performed
The test is performed in a hospital radiology department or in a health care provider's office by an x-ray technician.
You will lie on your back on the x-ray table. A thin, flexible tube called a catheter will be gently inserted into the urethra (the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body) and passed into the bladder.
Contrast dye flows through the catheter into the bladder. This dye helps the bladder show up better on x-ray images.
The x-rays are taken from various angles while the bladder is full of contrast dye. The catheter is removed so that you can urinate. Images are taken while you empty your bladder.
How to Prepare for the Test
You must sign a consent form. You will be given a gown to wear.
Remove all jewelry before the test. Inform the health care provider if you are:
- Allergic to any medications
- Allergic to x-ray contrast material
- Pregnant
How the Test Will Feel
You may feel some discomfort when the catheter is placed and while your bladder is full.
Why the Test is Performed
This test may be done to diagnose the cause of urinary tract infections, especially in children who have had more than one urinary tract or bladder infection.
It is also used to diagnose and evaluate:
- Difficulty emptying the bladder
- Birth defects with the bladder or urethra
- Narrowing of the tube that carries urine out of the bladder (urethral stricture) in males
- Urinary reflux from the bladder up into the kidney
Normal Results
The bladder and urethra will be normal in size and function.
What Abnormal Results Mean
Abnormal results may indicate the following:
- Bladder does not empty properly because of a brain or nerve problem (neurogenic bladder)
- Large prostate gland
- Narrowing or scarring of the urethra
- Pouch-like sacs (diverticula) on the walls of the bladder or urethra
- Ureterocele
- Urinary reflux nephropathy
You may have some discomfort when urinating after this test because of irritation from the catheter.
You may have bladder spasms after this test, which may be a sign of an allergic reaction to the contrast dye. Contact your health care provider if bothersome bladder spasms occur.

Lady Gaga got addicted to marijuana when she was suffering from a labaral tear in her hip in 2012 and smoked up to 15 weed-filled cigarettes each day.
The 27-year-old singer was wheelchair-bound for quite some time and she used the drug which is legal in some American states such as California with a prescription.
The star – whose real name is Stefani Germanotta – tried to shift the habit but found that it crept back in after a short while.
"I was smoking 15 joints a day," she confessed to Attitude magazine. "It was a habit that eventually occurred when the pain got so bad with the hip.
"I was just numbing, numbing, numbing myself then sleeping it off, then getting on stage, killing it in pain, then getting off and smoking, smoking, smoking, not knowing what the pain was.
Lady Gaga was addicted to marijuana when she was sick (WENN)
"F**k if I know what hurts the most, you know? I would break the habit and it would sneak back in and I would break it and sneak back in."
The Class B drug can apparently decrease short-term memory, impair motor skills, induce feelings of paranoia and anxiety make eyes appear red.
Gaga reportedly thinks that dealing with the trauma of having to appeal sexual in the music industry may have contributed to her need to chill out with cannibis and feel out of this world.
"Yeah it's trauma," she said. "I went through terrible experiences early in my career climbing through swine and swine of men in the music industry — just trying to get somebody to listen to my music and take me seriously as a songwriter instead of trying to get me to b**w them."
She's also admitted to using party drug Molly according to The Sun newspaper.
In order to squash her addiction she turned to 66-year-old performance artist Marina Abramovic who put her in intense rehabilitation and made sure she starved for 72 hours.
"Marina said, 'OK, you're coming to my house — no television, no computer, no marijuana, no nothing, no food. For three days, art only. You eat only art'," Gaga added to Attitude.
"She put me in the woods for three hours blindfolded and said, 'I need you to find your way home. We will be here silent to make sure you don't fall off any cliffs'. There were cliffs all around.
"So I was walking and I started to cry because I hadn't felt so connected to the earth for so long. Just being me, with the forest and the sound of the birds and the running water, but there was nothing but me and my pure talent to save me. I didn't fall once. I stumbled but I didn't fall."
It made her suddenly give up weed and now she only has the drug for a good time.
"I cold-turkeyed. For weeks and weeks I didn't smoke at all," she shared.
"Now I smoke a little bit at night just, you know, for fun. But not to cope — that's the difference. I'm the soberest I've ever been in the past five years."

Reviews for Slow-Cooked Spaghetti Sauce
Sort By :
"This was good, but not great. A little too acidic for our tastes, but a little more brown sugar could likely take care of that. I will say that it was a nice thick sauce that coated pasta nicely."
"Easy and delicious!"
"Great recipe, had enough to freeze for another meal"
"I made this, using 93% lean meat, adding 8 oz. of chopped mini-portabello mushrooms. I used all fresh herbs and Hunts brand tomato products. My family loved it and wants it ALL the time now! It gave a new meaning to "spaghetti". Thanks for giving me a new way to cook an old favorite!"
"I was not a fan of sausage until I tried this. It was very good! I've made it twice so far, once in the crock pot and once on the stove. Thank you for reforming me!:)"

Obamacare proponents argue it has a precedent in the Medicare law. Medicare is a federal tax everyone pays from their income to create a revenue pool for the elderly to draw from toward insurance and prescription drug coverage.
The health care mandate, however, is a penalty created under the Affordable Care Act. It is issued to those who refuse to pay for health insurance.
It is indisputable that Uncle Sam has the power to tax us directly and indirectly for some national purposes. But the penalty under the Affordable Care Act opens the flood gates for unprecedented federal control of what ...

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - A 19-year-old pleaded guilty Monday and faces up to 17 years in prison for his part in the fatal shooting of Latasha Roundtree in 2012.
Jeremiah Ellis of Cedar Rapids, pleaded guilty to amended charges of accessory after the fact, conspiracy to commit a felony of going armed and intimidation with a dangerous weapon. He admitted during the hearing that he fired a loaded handgun at the car in which Latasha Roundtree, 19, was a passenger Sept. 22, 2012. He also admitted to participating with others who were armed and they planned to injure or intimidate others in the car that night.
Ellis also said he didn�t help law enforcement when they questioned him about the shooting and helped conceal people responsible for Roundtree�s death.
First Assistant Linn County Attorney Nick Maybanks said as part of the plea agreement Ellis must give �truthful� testimony at trial against Tajh Ross, 20, who is accused of shooting and killing Roundtree. He also will be required to submit to further police interviews and depositions in this case.
He was originally charged with first-degree murder, intimidation with a dangerous weapon, conspiracy to commit a forcible felony and going armed with intent.
Ellis also will face another 10 years, which will run consecutively to the 17 years, for a probation revocation on a previous conviction where he received a suspended sentence.
Three others charged in the case have pleaded guilty and also will testify against Ross at his trial.
During a separate hearing Monday, the trial for Ross, charged with first-degree murder, intimidation with a dangerous weapon, conspiracy to commit a forcible felony and going armed with intent, was reset to July 14. His trial was previously set to start next week. All four defendants who have pleaded in this case will be sentenced after they testify at Ross� trial.

High-Energy Batteries Coming to Market
Page 2 of 2
ReVolt says it has developed methods for controlling the shape of the zinc electrode (by using certain gelling and binding agents) and for managing the humidity within the cell. It has also tested a new air electrode that has a combination of carefully dispersed catalysts for improving the reduction of oxygen from the air during discharge and for boosting the production of oxygen during charging. Prototypes have operated well for over one hundred cycles, and the company's first products are expected to be useful for a couple of hundred cycles. McDougall hopes to increase this to between 300 and 500 cycles, which will make them useful for mobile phones and electric bicycles.
For electric vehicles, ReVolt is developing a novel battery structure that resembles that of a fuel cell. Its first batteries use two flat electrodes, which are comparable in size. In the new batteries, one electrode will be a liquid–a zinc slurry. The air electrodes will be in the form of tubes. To generate electricity, the zinc slurry, which is stored in one compartment in the battery, is pumped through the tubes where it's oxidized, forming zinc oxide and releasing electrons. The zinc oxide then accumulates in another compartment in the battery. During recharging, the zinc oxide flows back through the air electrode, where it releases the oxygen, forming zinc again.
In the company's planned vehicle battery, the amount of zinc slurry can be much greater than the amount of material in the air electrode, increasing energy density. Indeed, the system would be like a fuel-cell system or a conventional engine, in that the zinc slurry would essentially act as a fuel–pumping through the air electrode like the hydrogen in a fuel cell or the gasoline in a combustion engine. McDougall says the batteries could also last longer–from 2,000 to 10,000 cycles. And, if one part fails–such as the air electrode–it could be replaced, eliminating the need to buy a whole new battery.
As with fuel cells, this system may need to be paired with another type of battery for bursts of acceleration or to capture energy from processes such as braking. Also, Henriksen notes that other experimental zinc-air batteries have already achieved 200 cycles.
Commercial success of the more conventional flat design could depend on other factors, such as whether the new batteries deliver energy at higher rates than other experimental zinc-air batteries, as the company claims, and whether the goals for higher cycle numbers can be met. The new tube-based design is still years away from production.

Also included is an example command line utility, called alacconvert, to read and write audio data to/from Core Audio Format (CAF) and WAVE files. A description of a 'magic cookie' for use with files based on the ISO base media file format (e.g. MP4 and M4A) is included as well.

SLIDESHOW: Hundreds attend open-air Romeo and Juliet performance in Ely
Posted: June 13, 2014|
Hundreds of people enjoyed an open-air performance of one Shakespeare's greatest tragedies in Ely.
The Lord Chamberlain's Men returned to the city on Tuesday for an open-air production of 'Romeo and Juliet' in the gardens of the Old Palace, on Palace Green.
Around 300 people grabbed their picnic baskets and deck chairs to enjoy the evening performance.
Adella Charlton, director of performance studies at King's Ely, said: "This was the ninth visit of The Lord Chamberlain's Men and they worked their magic once more with a fast paced, clear and moving performance of Romeo and Juliet.
"It was a perfect evening and it was wonderful to welcome so many members of the public to the Old Palace garden."
King's Ely's actor in residence, Nicholas Limm, also starred in the production as he is touring the UK with The Lord Chamberlain's Men after successfully auditioning to play the part of Lady Capulet.
In his role as actor in residence at King's, Nick assists with the practical drama lessons and school productions.

Halloween Week
I wish "grownup" Halloween was like Halloween in college – where Halloween turns into a week-long event and every day is an excuse to go to a different party and wear a different costume. Sadly, this year wasn't like that. But that's not to say that I didn't have a good "Halloween week."
The last few days of this week were busy with research and content creation. I'm working on putting together a press kit for the Intel Newsroom right now. This is the first Intel press kit that I'm going to be able to "own" (mostly all on my own) from start to finish, so I'm pretty excited. I went over the details with my managers, and it looks like all that is left is filling in a few holes, getting approval from the Intel higher powers, and tracking down/ creating some multimedia. This week I'll be putting the finishing touches on the kit and hopefully it'll be able to go live within the next week. I'll keep you guys updated!
Anyway, other than that it's been a pretty uneventful week. After all the Halloween decorating that went on at my apartment this month (in case you haven't seen you decorations, you can here), my boyfriend felt it was only fitting to have a few people over to celebrate the spooky holiday last night, which was fun.
My boyfriend dressed as Dexter (our very favorite serial killer!) and I dressed up as (SPOILER ALERT!!!) his wife Rita (the bloody, dead version from the 4th season) <—— See photo on left (yes, we meant to look creepy). We thought we were pretty clever. Except now there's fake blood all over the apartment and I don't quite know how I'm going to get it all cleaned up. Worth it? You be the judge.
Happy Halloween!

From Publishers Weekly
In what's likely to be the next in a string of bestselling marketing guides (after Purple Cow), Godin compiles entries from his popular blog. Many are only a few paragraphs long, though he also adds longer entries, from his Fast Company column, to the mix. The pieces are arranged alphabetically by title rather than chronologically, leading to occasional choppiness, but Godin's ability to hone in on key issues remains intact. Following up on the themes of his earlier books, he reminds readers that the first key to successful marketing is to produce something remarkable and let it grow. "If your idea is great, people will find you," he advises. "[I]f your target audience isn't listening, it's not their fault, it's yours." He urges people to take control of their creative lives by taking responsibility for tough decisions and pushing themselves to make bolder choices. (His advice to McDonald's, for example, includes free wireless Web access at every restaurant.) The appendix contains two lengthy essays on Web design and blogs that were previously distributed as e-books. These are a more polished than the casual main entries, but still exhibit the spontaneous energy that has earned Godin so many loyal fans. (Aug. 17)

This audiobook will last all year, or perhaps, a lifetime. Godin is a skilled and dynamic presenter, and his originality and spontaneous style come across perfectly in audio. SMALL is truly a catalog of ideas from Godin's books, PERMISSION MARKETING and THE PURPLE COW, and his blog, as well as articles in FAST COMPANY. It's alphabetized by topic, and SMALL's subtitle, "Riffs, Rants, etc.," tells you what to expect. Godin kindly says, "Don't listen to this program all at once. It will give you a headache." True enough, even short listening hits may well spur listeners to absorb a kernel of an idea that could lead to remarkable things. Godin's enthusiast-self is the perfect irreverent marketer of his own ideas. Whether two sentences or 20 minutes, the topics provide thought exercise for anyone interested in the culture of innovation. R.F.W.

From inside came the creak and whine of a windlass bearing a heavy load.
It was no louder than a whisper from without—the creak of a board.
I heard the whisper of silk and the creak of seats as the members of my family at last settled comfortably into their seats.
I heard the rattle of the bar as the helper lifted it, then the creak of the gate.
From the bow I heard the creak of the anchor-chains as they were drawn on board, and from the engine-room the tinkle of bells.
It even repeated the creak of those old, rusty springs while you waited for her.
Its song starts like the creak of the black-and-white warbler and ends like a chipping sparrow.
He heard them even before he had left his bunk—the clink, creak, creak!
Every board seemed to creak as I trod gingerly toward the stairway.
She turned at the creak of his footstep on the threshold and for the first time she spoke.
early 14c., "utter a harsh cry," of imitative origin. Used of the sound made by a rusty gate hinge, etc., from 1580s. Related: Creaked; creaking. As a noun, from c.1600.
To show signs of wear; be near collapse: indications that their marriages are creaking (1930s+)

The NBC series The Voice has been so successful for the network that they've already announced after only four episodes that they will be bringing the show back for a second season. The singing competition will return in the latter half of NBC's 2011-2012 schedule, moving to Monday nights. It's unclear if Blake Shelton and the other celebrity coaches from this season will return for the second season, or if they will get a new batch of celebrity coaches.

After several months of back-and-forth debate, the Rockland County Legislature voted Tuesday night to override the vetoes County Executive C. Scott Vanderhoef made to its 2013 budget.
As a result, the $736.9 million spending plan intended to put Rockland County's troubled finances back on surer footing will include restorations the Democratic-led Legislature made to the county's unionized workforce rather than the cuts sought by Vanderhoef, a Republican. The final vote, which came just after 8 p.m., was 13-3, one more than the two-thirds majority needed.
