Coach asks for runoff delayComment on this story
Eugene, Oregon – Bob Kersee, coach of two sprinters who tied for third place in the women's 100 metres at the U.S. Olympic trials, wants any runoff to determine who goes to the London Games delayed until at least next Tuesday.
USA Track & Field (USATF) spokeswoman Jill Geer has said the re-run between Allyson Felix and Jeneba Tarmoh needs to take place by Sunday to allow the governing body time to finalise its team.
She said on Wednesday if there was to be a runoff the governing body would announce its plans on Saturday or Sunday.
Kersee, whose athletes will be competing in the women's 200 beginning on Thursday with the final on Saturday, said he would be upset if any race between the two took place before Tuesday out of concern for the athletes' health.
"To force their hands to run on Sunday, that's detrimental to the athletes," the respected coach told Reuters on Wednesday.
"The body needs a normal rest. It is hard enough to run three days in a row as is."
Tuesday is the last day for USATF to submit team members to the U.S. Olympic Committee for approval, committee spokesman Mark Jones said.
The team must be forwarded to Olympic officials by July 9, he said.
Twice Olympic 200m silver medallist Felix and the up-and-coming Tarmoh have a choice of a runoff or coin flip if one of them does not withdraw, according to a USATF procedure announced on Sunday.
The governing body had no protocol in place for ties at the Olympic trials before then.
Only three athletes per country can qualify in the 100m sprint at the Olympics.
"I am trying to stay neutral," added Kersee. "But I can't stay neutral when it comes down to the health of athletes."
The coach said he had no preference on a location if a runoff is held.
"I just care about what day they have it," he said. – Reuters

4 Moms Discuss Curriculum Choices
Posted By Smockity Frocks On May 13, 2010 @ 12:41 am In 4 Moms,Homeschool | 16 Comments
When our family first began our "official" homeschooling journey (meaning we began a curriculum plan) we had a kindergartner, a 3 year old and a newborn.
In those days, we tried to emulate "school at home". I set up a little school desk and even invited friends over for an "open house" so they could see the school room I had arranged and all the plans I had for the year. I wanted to make sure they knew I wasn't just planning on keeping the kids out of school so they could bring me cold drinks while I watched Jerry Springer and smoked cigarettes all day.
Our oldest child was the only one who we felt needed an actual curriculum and we settled on The Well-Trained Mind: A Guide to Classical Education at Home [2]. We liked the rigorous education outlined for grades K-12 in one book and we were drawn to the amount of materials we could check out of the public library instead of spending a big chunk of change on purchased materials.
As we added more students to our homeschool, though, it became more and more difficult to keep up with the multiple schedules and levels. At one point we had three different students studying three different periods of history at the same time.
Of course, we also had a toddler and a newnewborn, so the whole "school at home" thing was also becoming more difficult. Things were rarely quiet enough to emulate a classroom setting, and our schedule was constantly being interrupted to bake bread for new neighbors, take a meal to a new mom, or iron shirts for a recent widower [3].
Slowly, we were becoming more of a "life is school" type of homeschool instead of a "school at home". I liked the freedom it gave us and the life lessons my children were learning.
This is not to say that we play all day at baking cookies and never put pencil to paper. We do, however, feel more freedom than we did in the beginning to let real life happen and use those opportunities for education. For example, during the last presidential election, we felt like it was important to halt any individual history studies going on at that time and focus on the United States Constitution, particularly the Bill of Rights.
Here is a general breakdown of subjects. (Keep in mind that the younger children have a much looser schedule than the older ones.)
Basically, we are a mixed bag when it comes to curriculum. We don't feel bound to any certain company, nor do we feel compelled to complete a list of tasks or assignments that someone we don't know decided children should complete. We try to keep our schedule flexible and still work our way through the books we have.
Remember, your homeschool must fit your family. If my loosey goosey, mixed bag approach makes you break out into a cold sweat, then by all means don't follow my lead. Look around. Check out what others recommend and go with what fits your family.

|Cord blood S100B levels in low-risk term pregnancies with meconium stained amnioticfluid.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23030834 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to compare cord blood S100B levels and cord blood gas parameters of term infants with meconium stained amniotic fluid (MSAF) to those infants with clear amniotic fluid. Methods: Term pregnant women at an active phase of labor and having MSAF were defined as the study group (n=35) and pregnant women with clear amniotic fluid, and matched for age, parity, and gestational age were defined as the control group (n=35). Cord blood S100B levels and gas parameters were measured. Results: LogS100B values of study and control groups were 2.40 ±0.21 pg/ml and 2.43±0.29 pg/ml, respectively. The difference was not statistically significant (p=0.675). LogS100B levels slightly increased as meconium thickened. (2.32±0.16 pg/ml, 2.41±0.17 pg/ml, and 2.44±0.28 pg/ml, respectively). However, no difference was found between groups (p=0.438).Moreover, the study group had a statistically lower HCO3 level (21.80 vs 23.60 mmol/l ) and a higher rate of base deficit (4.85 vs 3.25 mmol/l) than the control group. However, median HCO3 and base deficit values were within normal limits in both groups. Conclusion: The present study showed that cord blood S100B levels of infants born through MSAF were not different from those with clear amniotic fluid. This finding suggests that MSAF, regardless of its thickness, may not be related to brain damage in low risk term pregnancies.

Just before the start of the Labor Day holiday weekend, the reelection campaign for Mitch McConnell of Kentucky announced its campaign manager, Jesse Benton, was resigning. Benton was leaving the campaign, Politico reports, "citing potential distractions over renewed attention to a scandal from the Iowa 2012 caucuses."
Benton had served as chairman for Ron Paul's 2012 presidential campaign (he's also married to Paul's granddaughter). The Paul campaign has been accused of paying for the endorsement of at least one Iowa state senator. The former senator, Kent Sorenson, pled guilty last week to switching his endorsement from Michele Bachmann to Ron Paul in 2011—shortly before the Iowa caucuses—in exchange for more than $70,000 from the Paul campaign. Sorenson also said he was paid by the Bachmann campaign.
Benton hasn't been formally accused of any wrongdoing, but there have been allegations that the former McConnell campaign chair knew about the pay-for-endorsement arrangement. In a phone conversation recorded last year by a disgruntled former Paul supporter in Iowa, Sorenson said of his payment from the Paul campaign, "Oh, I know Jesse knows. I know Jesse knows."
In a separate phone conversation recorded by the disgruntled supporter from January 2013, Benton denied his involvement in or knowledge of the scheme. Asked about the allegations last year, the McConnell campaign declined to answer. On that call, Benton also told the supporter that he was "holding his nose" working for the Senate minority leader until the forthcoming presidential campaign by McConnell's fellow Kentucky Republican and son of Ron Paul, Rand Paul. Benton told THE WEEKLY STANDARD that the recording of the call was "truly sick."
Benton and McConnell later made light of Benton's embarrassing statement by posing together with their noses held.
The chairman of Ron Paul's 2012 presidential campaign is refusing to answer questions about allegations the campaign paid for endorsements before the Iowa caucuses last year. Jesse Benton, a longtime Paul aide who is now campaign manager for Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell, has not replied to requests for comment after an audio recording surfaced whereby an Iowa state senator, Kent Sorenson, admitted he had received a $30,000 check from high-level Paul campaign official, accepting the money in exchange for switching his support from Michele Bachmann to Ron Paul.

A man alleged to be the campaign manager for senator Mitch McConnell said earlier this year that he was "sort of holding [his] nose" to work for the Kentucky Republican for the next two years.

Brooklyn Fare Restaurant Review: Dining at Brooklyn Fare offers more than a special evening; rather, it's a special event. An event where you've been invited into the eighteen-seat kitchen of César Ramirez for a chef's table experience of one-bite canapés, small plates and conversation, all wrapped up in a symphony of Japanese-reminiscent hospitality and precision in flavor combinations and presentations. Chef Ramirez's travels to Spain, the Mediterranean, Asia and France, and his extensive background at Bouley and Comerç 24 (in Barcelona), shine as he pushes the limits of culinary creativity with a menu of up to 20 dishes drawing on the best of the season. Diners receive the evening's menu that has one-word labels, such as Salmon, Tomatoes and Raviolo. But that's where the simplicity stops. Dishes change frequently, but have included Tomato 7 Ways with delicate portions of tomato flakes, tomatoes cooked for eight hours in sugar, tomato gazpacho, and four other preparations. Fruit flavors were maximized in ways tailored to each: the intense taste of watermelon was elevated through vacuum packing immediately after they were picked. White Sicilian anchovies were accompanied with asparagus, snails, cod cheeks and pickled onions. Duck in a main-course dish hailed from an upstate New York farm specializing only in duck and had a rich, deep flavor combined with grilled figs in a port wine reduction. The usual fine dining elements abound, from foie gras foam to caviar, appropriately chilled spoons and warmed plates.

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - U.S. troops on Thursday promised an "overwhelming" response to brutal killings in the Iraqi town of Falluja and vowed to hunt down those who shot, burned and mutilated four American contractors.
Marines took positions on the outskirts of the restive town west of Baghdad where the contractors were ambushed by insurgents on Wednesday and then set on by a crowd.
"Coalition forces will respond," the U.S. army's deputy director of operations Brigadier General Mark Kimmitt told a news conference. "They are coming back and they are going to hunt down the people responsible for this bestial act.
"It will be at a time and a place of our choosing. It will be methodical, it will be precise and it will be overwhelming."
Television footage of jubilant Iraqis mutilating the bodies recalled events in Mogadishu in 1993, when a crowd dragged the bodies of American soldiers through the streets, hastening the departure of U.S. forces from Somalia.
A leaflet distributed in Falluja on Thursday claimed that the previously unknown "group of Sheikh Ahmad Yassin" had killed the Americans in response to the Israeli assassination of Hamas spiritual leader Yassin last month. It was not immediately possible to verify the claim.
Falluja was relatively quiet on Thursday, but residents said more bloody killings should be expected.
"The Americans may think it is unusual but this is what they should expect. They show up in places and shoot civilians so why can't they be killed?" Falluja shop worker Amir said.
U.S. troops fired on demonstrators in Falluja last April, killing at least 15 people. Other residents have been killed since then and locals accuse U.S. troops of firing randomly and using excessive violence during raids. They always vow revenge.
An Iraqi Governing Council member stressed that those responsible represented just a small minority of Iraqis but also encouraged U.S. troops to think carefully about how to respond.
"In 1958, July 14th, some members of the royal family were killed and mutilated. Iraqis were ashamed for decades at this barbaric event," Samir Sumaidi said. "Now after this I feel that again Iraqis will hang their heads in shame."
Guerrillas near Falluja detonated a roadside bomb as a U.S. convoy passed by on Thursday, wounding three soldiers. One Humvee left behind by American soldiers near the site of the attack was later set ablaze and looted by a crowd of Iraqis.
A roadside bomb killed five U.S. soldiers on Wednesday in the same area, a hotspot for resistance to the occupation.
The U.S governor of Iraq Paul Bremer vowed to hunt down those responsible for ambushing the contractors, and those who then torched the corpses and dragged them through the streets before hanging them from a bridge.
"The acts we have seen were despicable and inexcusable," he said. "They violate the tenets of all religions, Islam included, as well as the foundations of civilized society. Their deaths will not go unpunished."
As the violence sparked renewed concern among foreign organizations working in Iraq, a high-profile U.S.-sponsored trade fair for companies rebuilding Iraq was postponed.
Organizers of the Baghdad Expo, a major trade fair that had been due to start on Monday, said it was postponed -- a blow to U.S. efforts to draw investment to Iraq and project an image of a stable country conducive to doing business.
No new date was set for the event.
Washington hopes economic growth in Iraq will help undermine the guerrilla insurgency, but so far, the lack of stability and security in some parts of Iraq has hampered reconstruction.
In Baquba, 40 miles north of Baghdad, police said insurgents killed two policemen and seriously wounded three in a drive-by shooting on Thursday.
Those fighting the U.S.-led occupation have increasingly targeted members of Iraq's fledgling security forces, seeing them as working too closely with the occupiers.
More Iraqi security officials have been killed since the U.S. invaded than U.S. soldiers.
In Basra, a mainly Shi'ite city 340 miles south of Baghdad, at least one Iraqi was killed in clashes between Iraqi police and around 100 protesters demanding salaries. The protesters threw stones and set tyres on fire.
The U.S. military death toll last month was the second highest of any month since President Bush declared major combat over on May 1 last year.
At least 50 American troops died in Iraq in March, according to Pentagon figures. The deadliest month for U.S. forces was November, when 82 U.S. troops died.
At least 407 American troops have been killed in action in Iraq since U.S.-led forces invaded on March 20 last year to topple Saddam Hussein.
Guerrilla attacks in March also killed at least 16 foreign civilians, including the four who died in Falluja on Wednesday. (Additional reporting by Michael Georgy, Atef Hassan, Fiona O'Brien)

I moved to Colorado 14 years ago & was required to pick a sport once I crossed the state line: skiing/ snow boarding, triathlon, mountain biking, mountain climbing... Running had the lowest start-up cost, so it won out.
Pretty much been at it ever since. (Bonus: keeps my weight nicely in check.)
I was encouraged by a friend to try a walk to run program. I started it to try something different in hopes of losing weight. After my first 5k I wanted to run the next nd beat my time.. A year later I'm still running. I will admit I have quiet a love hate relationship with running. But I've run 6 5ks and a 10k. I'm am not a fast runner by any means but keep at it. It's helped me lose and keep off 20 lbs. And I'm pretty competitive so I want to keep beatin my time.
And it's my only true stress reliever. I usually am so busy thinking " how many more miles, how slow am I going." that I don't think about work!
~ Running life at my own pace ~
I was a skinny kid with self esteem issues. I became a runner the day Frank Shorter won the Olympic marathon. At last, proof that a skinny person could be someone. Frank was my hero, and I ran a million Olympic marathons on the dirt roads near the farm I grew up on. That was over 40 years ago and I'm still running.
Next Marathon: Eisenhower Marathon, Abilene, Ks. 4/09/16
At 52 I began running because my wife of 32 years began walking and after about 3 months was loosing weight and I thought I better "get in the game." Glad I did. Now we both "run" and are enjoying 5K's together. And after my annual doctor's visit last week, I have reduced my perscription medicines from 2 to 1 and that 1 was replaced by another that was half the dose! I understand the "love/hate" relationship some have with running but currently mine is mostly "love"! Looking forward to our next 5K this Independence Day!
After three years of zero activity, I started working out at a gym - to drop weight, to look better and, most importantly, to feel better. It was suggested to me by doctors that I should not run because of my bad knees. But one time I had a miscommunication with my coach and he wasn't there at the gym. I was too inexperienced to train alone, so he suggested that I should do a cardio exercise - walking uphill on the treadmill for 30 minutes. I did that, but tried running, just out of curiosity - I lasted for about 5 minutes, started huffing and puffing, heartbeen went through the roof, and had to revert to walking. Then I came back in a couple of days and lasted 7 minutes. By that time I built up some muscle in my legs that helped me compensate for the knee weakness. Once I felt no knee pain after running, I kept going, and it took me 5 weeks to get to 30 minutes non-stop running. After which I came across this website.I keep running because I really like it. It gives me a challenge. My competitive nature needs a goal, and a race that I signed up for is an adequate goal to strive to. But I am fully aware that racing isn't the actual reason I run, it is healthier lifestyle, feeling well and looking better. I dropped about 14 pounds in two months after I started running. And, most important of all, I like running.
Life's a journey, not a destination
Upcoming: recovery from Achilles injury
Mostly my dad. There was this race on his birthday a couple years ago. We just decided to try it out without any training. We chose the 10K. We obviously had a hard time but enjoyed the racing and running. Since then we have been runnnig this exact event every year around his birthday. My sister joined us the following year for another 10K. They ran HM last year and will be doing the FM this year. I'm still doing the 10K .
This is what got me running and the desire to improve my time is what got me to train this year.
my dad was a D1 runner, big 10 champ. I was born in the mid 70s to a running family, and spent every weekend from conception on at races. Started running before I behave any actual memories of it.
I started running 3 years ago for a lot of reasons, but mainly because I was starting to feel like a slug; I really really wanted to become a healthier person. Our kids were grown and had been out of the house/gainfully employed/married for several years. The crazy, chaotic life we had with them for what seemed like an eternity was now nonexistent, and I had nothing but time. I was never a gym kinda person, so I chose running because I could do it anywhere, no membership required. I started with the C25K program and kept going when I was finished. I made out really well for close to a year, then I acquired a wicked case of PF that I still struggle with today. I also had major health issues that began in June of last year, but those will soon be in my past. They have left me a bit spent and I am hoping my stamina and endurance will improve once they're behind me. I keep running because I want to continue on this journey of health and fitness, and I do LOVE how I feel when my run is done! I also love races. My goal is a half.
Running started to feel good, my grades got better, I lost weight, my depression got better, discovered I loved the outdoors, a lot of reasons
I ran in middle school. I then ran off and on for fitness. In my 30's I started racing. I think my sister coaxed me into running a 10k. I started running other races, and became hooked on the marathon. I ran shorter races, but usually with my marathon goals in mind.
I'm now 42, and have sworn off races as of earlier this year. I just run for the enjoyment and fitness. I am trying to keep a better balance of overall fitness by lifting weights more often and getting into yoga.
I started running because I was fat. Now I'm not fat. If I stop running, I'll be fat again because I have zero food discipline.
Short Term Goal - 17:59 5K
Medium Term Goal - 2:54:59 marathon
Long Term Goal - To have been a runner half my life (I started at age 45)
I need to lose weight. I am the mother of an eleven year old. I want to present a positive image for her. After only 7 weeks, I am starting to value my time out learning to run as an investment in myself.
I had been running off and on for quite some time, but started back up after having my second child close to 4 years ago. I guess I started in order to just get moving after pregnancy and feel better. I kept going because it makes me feel so much better (once I'm done!) and because it's my "me time". I like the challenge. I've enjoyed seeing how far I can push myself. Not having to buy bigger clothes is a good incentive as well
4 kids. I run to stay sane.
I was in my late 20s, and friends of ours were having problems conceiving because they were overweight. That situation made me look at myself and I could tell I was overweight. I also thought that some day I might want kids, and I didn't want to have that same problem. So I started running to lose weight. Now I'm well within the healthy BMI, and my second child should be born any day (literally).
The moral of the story: Running leads to having babies.
Oh gosh, I am officially stopping running now. The world does not need more me's yet. Especially, since I had to call my mom the other day and ask her what to do with a cantaloupe.
REVISED Moral: Running prevents babies because storks cannot fly as fast as we run.
Started running because my role models did and I figured I better be like them . Ms. Doyle, Ms. Duggan, and Becca- I've become insane just like you!
To become a better version of myself.

Dirk's free throw streak starts anew
Dirk Nowitzki had made 80 consecutive free throws going back to last season and that run came to an end with 5:27 left in the first half.
Nowitzki missed the first of two free throws. He'd made all six of his tries in the season opener.
He made the next one to start a new streak.

I'm eying on a 15" MBP with 2.2GHz i7 Thunderbolt I/O. The stock model has 4Gb RAM (2Gb x2 cards). Can I add one third-party 4Gb RAM card into one of the slots and maintaining the original factory 2Gb card on the other slot, making it a total of 6 Gb RAM? Does it have to be match pair, i.e. 2Gb x2 or 4Gb x2

Honest Martin Ling has no complaints after disappointing Torquay United performance
Posted: October 08, 2012|
"We got what we deserved – nothing," was manager Martin Ling's blunt verdict on Torquay United's 2-1 defeat away to lowly Wycombe Wanderers.
"That's possibly our worst performance of the season," said a visibly disappointed Gulls' boss after the npower League Two setback. "We were second to the first balls and second to the second balls.
"After the fightback against Aldershot on Tuesday night, we thought we might be pushing in the right direction, but not at any time did we get a head of steam up here. Both defensively and offensively, it wasn't good enough," the United manager added.
Ling did say: "The only one I would really exempt from criticism was Rene Howe – I thought he was trying to turn it around at all times.
"You could have asked: 'Who is playing to their potential here?' Rene was probably the only one.
"At half-time Rene's goal had given us a lifeline, and we needed to go out in the second half and use that get-out-of-jail-card. But it didn't happen.
"We were second-best in all departments. We've not had back-to-back wins since March, and that's very frustrating," Ling added.
"Our inconsistency even showed the other night against Aldershot, from the first half to the second half.
"I thought Wycombe played for Gareth Ainsworth – they want him to get the job, and they did everything they could to help him get it.
"I thought he was as good as anyone on the pitch as well."
Wanderers' 39-year-old caretaker player-manager said: "I am so pleased that we got a result at last, because it was nothing less than we deserved. Everyone was so up for this, and not just talking about it.
"People were flying into challenges that we haven't seen from Wycombe players for a while.
"Just before half-time isn't a nice time to concede, but we didn't let it affect us. We created a lot of chances today and restricted Torquay to very few."

- The right to inspect and review the student's educational records within 30 days of the day The University receives a request for access. Students should submit to the Registrar written requests that identify the records they wish to inspect. The University official will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected.
- The right to request amendment of the contents of the student's educational records which are believed to be inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student's privacy or other rights. Any student who believes that his/her education records contain information that is inaccurate or misleading or is otherwise in violation of his/her privacy or other rights or who believes that his/her records have been or are being maintained or processed in violation of his/her privacy or other rights, may discuss his/her concerns informally with the Registrar's Office. If the decision of that person is in agreement with the student's request, the appropriate records shall be amended and the student shall be notified in writing of the amendments. If the decision is not in agreement, the student shall be notified with thirty (30) calendar days that the records will not be amended and the student shall be notified by the official of the student's right to a hearing. Additional information regarding the hearing procedure will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing.
- The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student's educational records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. One exception, which permits disclosure without consent, is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests."School officials" shall mean any person who is a trustee, officer, agent, or employee of the University."Legitimate educational interest" shall mean any authorized interest or activity undertaken in the name of the University for which access to an educational record is necessary or appropriate to the proper performance of the undertaking. It shall include, without limitation, access by a student's instructor, department or division head, dean, the chief academic and student affairs administrator, the president, a trustee, the custodian of the University records, the alumni administrator, legal counsel, the financial aid administrator, administrators charged with maintaining educational records, the staff and subordinates of the foregoing, and others authorized by the president to the extent the foregoing persons are acting within the course and scope of their employment or authority.

The student should carefully consider the consequences of any decision to withhold any category of Directory of Information. Regardless of the effect upon a student, the University assumes no liability that may arise out of its compliance with a request that such information be withheld. It will be assumed that the failure on the part of the student to request the withholding of Directory Information indicates the student's consent to disclosure. Any questions concerning the student's rights and responsibilities under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act should be inferred to the Registrar's Office, 509-359-2321.

ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) - The Oakland Raiders are keeping four quarterbacks and two punters on their 53-man roster with rookies Tyler Wilson and Matt McGloin both making the team as backup passers and the team putting off its decision on picking a punter.
The Raiders announced cuts Saturday to get down to the regular-season roster limit of 53 players with the surprising cut being defensive end Andre Carter. The 34-year-old Carter is one of the team's only proven pass rushers with 78½ career sacks.
Oakland also is keeping two punters for now with both Marquette King and Chris Kluwe surviving the cut. But there still could be additional moves made before the season starts Sept. 8 in Indianapolis.

(WBIR-Friendsville, TN) The Humane Society of East Tennessee faces at least $4,000 in damages after heavy rain flooded the animal shelter late last week.
On Thursday evening, about 2 inches of rain made its way into every room, except one.
The animal shelter in Friendsville houses about 40 cats and 4 dogs. All the animals had to be relocated while volunteers mopped up the water.
"It did a total of every room here except for one so all our cat rooms were flooded out," said Sue Burda, co-founder of the Humane Society of East TN.
Burda said the gazebo her husband built for one of the cat rooms will have to be taken down so the bottom base can be replaced.
The shelter lost flooring and baseboards but they are hopeful the medical equipment and computer will still work.
"It got under all this wood, which again is not treated wood because you can't have it with the cats," Burda explained.
Because of a hill that slopes down to the side of the building, all the water came in through the floors.
Burda plans to put in more drains and a retaining wall between the shelter and the hill to prevent future flooding.
"Our goal is not having sick cats and mold will cause them all to get upper respiratory infections," she said.
The shelter had planned on starting a vaccine program in August.
Burda said that may be delayed a couple of months while they work on the shelter.
The nonprofit runs on donations. If you would like to help, visit www.humanesocietytn.org or call 865-309-4738. Checks can also be mailed to 548 S. Union Grove Road, Friendsville, 37737.

Tenant charged with arson for Bremerton apartment fire
BREMERTON — A man with a history of mental illness was charged with first-degree arson Wednesday for allegedly setting a fire at his Bremerton apartment.
Jason Jerome Lucas, 26, was arrested after fire investigators suspected the fire at the Cedar Park Apartments, 4020 Bledsoe Ave., had been intentionally set, documents said. They found a can of gasoline in the kitchen, a pile of clothing in the living room and a disabled smoke detector. The unit had been locked from the outside. No injuries were reported and damage was estimated at $15,000.
When he was arrested he was found in possession of a meth pipe, documents said
Neighbors and employees of the building told police Lucas had been behaving erratically and making threats, according to documents, and was being evicted. He also had been linked to a March house fire in Port Orchard, and his brother told investigators Lucas is schizophrenic and bipolar. A Kitsap Mental Health employee requested a mental health check in November after learning he had been sending text messages saying he was going to shoot white people, documents said

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - NATO says a joint force of U.S., French and Afghan troops has wrapped a weeklong offensive against insurgents northeast of Kabul.
The effort killed about 40 Taliban fighters and captured several key Taliban operatives.
Another three insurgents were killed in an eastern province as Afghan and coalition forces were pursuing a Taliban sub-commander. That leader wasn't captured, but the coalition says it nabbed two key operatives with ties to al-Qaida.
NATO also says forces are chasing a militant affiliated with several groups, including al-Qaida and the Taliban.
The report comes on a day when three U.S. troops were killed by homemade bombs in southern and eastern Afghanistan.
An Associated Press count shows 55 foreign troops have been killed this month, including 35 Americans.

Things That Aren't Supposed to Happen
Rand Paul was not supposed to challenge and defeat the political establishment to become a United States Senator.
Mike Lee was not supposed to challenge and defeat the establishment to become a United States Senator.
The Tea Party was not supposed to last this long or have this much influence on the GOP and Washington, DC.
Timothy Geithner said America losing its AAA credit rating would never happen.
Ron Paul surpassing media favorites Tim Pawlenty and Michele Bachmann with strong double digits in the national polls and powering to top-tier status was not supposed to happen.
Yesterday, a Republican was winning Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner's old seat in New York City's 9th Congressional district was not supposed to happen.
Until recently, we have been told Barack Obama being anything less than a two term president is simply not going to happen.
Most of the "experts" who tell us what absolutely, positively and unquestionably can't happen continue to prove time and again that they don't know what they're talking about.
Make no mistake this election: Anything can happen.

Interview with David Marsh aka Mesh137 on 'Visual Splendor'Juxtapoz // Monday, 26 Jul 2010
Over three years here, he developed his highly original and instantly recognizable style of work, drawing inspiration from various counter culture movements such as skateboarding, graffiti, tattoo and street art, old records, pulp comics and movies and the art of ancient tribes and societies.
In anticipation of Marsh's upcoming solo Visual Splendor, opening Friday, September 10th at London Miles Gallery in London, get to know the artist in this interview.
There are many different cultural references in your work, are you well traveled?
I haven't traveled much recently, but I was lucky enough to go to some amazing places like Mexico, Japan, Canada, New York and parts of Europe while growing up. I'd say everywhere I've been has had an impact on my work, but I think the modern and historical visual cultures of Mexico and Japan are the most mind blowing. But then as a massive hip-hop fan New York was like a pilgrimage! I'd certainly like to travel through work more - there can't be a more satisfying feeling for an artist then someone on the other side of the world appreciating your work.
What are your inspirations as an artist?
There's so many! : Old comics - classic romance comics, 'Tales from the Future', 'Amazing Adventures' kinda stuff. Retro playboys, glamour and pinup art. Teapots, cupcakes, shoes, gemstones. Ancient tribal culture/art. Classic Indian, Mexican, Japanese, Chinese art. Modern day street art, graffiti art and pop art. Old records - for the music and the covers! Anything with patterns on, 80's rap lyrics/clothes, the work of author Hunter S. Thompson, B-movie posters, trashy novels Skateboard culture, old skateboarding videos and magazines. Anime and Manga, classic video games, 60's poster art, being an insomniac, dark rum, golden beers, and finally the music, illustrations and artwork of way too many individuals to mention here!
Your artworks are very intricate; you must have a lot of patience. How long does it take on average to create a piece of work?
I can produce a small painting in around a day or two, but one of my larger paintings with all the tiny details like the crystals and patterning can take me up to a couple of months. I like to give my paintings as perfect a finish as is possible which means working very carefully and slowly, but hopefully it pays off in the end!
What would you like to put across to viewers with your artwork?
I don't like to take myself or my work to seriously, so I wouldn't say Im trying to get any real message across. I just like to make pretty pictures and have fun with my work. I do like to include a few cheeky/naughty bits in there that hopefully make people smile but I'm not really m aking any statements - maybe just that 'we should all calm down a little, be a bit nicer to each other and try to have fun and enjoy life. Oh and that 'pirate girls are hot'.
Have you ever had artistic block and how did you overcome this?
I'm lucky in that I've never really had a pr oblem with artistic block - if anything I have a problem with having to many ideas at once and never having enough time to do them all! I have about ten notebooks crammed full of little sketches and notes and ideas for future paintings, illustrations, animations music etc. So it's is definitely not an issue for me!
Do you see yourself as part of an art movement or would you rather not be pigeonholed in such a way?
Yes, I'm the founding member of a new art movement called 'Super Dope Spaced Out Next Level Fine Art Pirates'. No not really! But if you feel you must, then stick me with the 'Talented, hardworking people who are doing amazing artwork' movement or failing them the 'Overly modest movement'.

2004 Audi A8 Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 8 reviews
More aluminum and more engine power combine in the redesigned 2004 Audi A8 to deliver a full-size luxury sedan that handles more like a sports car, with enough energy and kick to thrill the sports car enthusiast hiding inside the businessperson. Add to that the powerful quattro all-wheel drive, and you're ready to tackle any condition the elements throw at you, and to do it all in elegant style.
The 2004 A8 comes in only one trim in the U.S., the A8L, which is two inches longer than last year. On the outside, you'll hardly notice a difference beyond a more gently sloping roofline. Underneath, however, more aluminum has been added to increase the car's rigidity, meaning improved handling and a crisper driving experience. A new 4.2 V8 engine gets a surge to 330-hp and 317 lb-ft of torque. This is paired with a new 6-speed Tiptronic transmission. Particularly unique in the 2004 A8 is an air suspension system with four driver-controlled settings that vary according to the road conditions. They range from Comfort (for standard highway driving) to the sporty Dynamic, which lowers the ride height, and Lift, which raises the height for rougher roads. The Automatic setting takes the best of all three for optimal performance. In 2004, the Audi A8 sports 10 airbags.
Inside, the longer wheelbase adds even more rear legroom. Audi prides itself on offering the utmost in luxury, and the 2004 A8 only adds to the already abundant features with 16-way adjustable leather seats, sunshades, heated seats and steering wheel, seat massager option, and power lumbar support for both front and rear passengers. All that's missing is HDTV and a neverending cooler of refreshing beverages. A new Multi Media Interface System centralizes controls in one circular display. Though some find it helpful, others say it causes more distraction than convenience.
The 2004 A8 still handles like a dream, much more like a smaller sedan than its Escalade-sized body would suggest. Owners say it is quiet and smooth for maximum comfort, yet the engine is throaty and alive, and with the sports suspension, feels much more propulsive. A spacious backseat and trunk and comfortable seats, plus good ergonomics, ensure a plush ride. The quattro feature turns the A8 into a stylish SUV. As always, poor customer service is a major complaint from Audi owners. Problems with the electronic system and general unreliability disappoint as well. Rear visibility is blocked due to the rear headrests. While some find navigation system easy to use, others feel it is confusing.

|Validation of the archimedes diabetes model.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 14578246 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|OBJECTIVE: To validate the Archimedes model of diabetes and its complications for a variety of populations, organ systems, treatments, and outcomes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We simulated a variety of randomized controlled trials by repeating in the model the steps taken for the real trials and comparing the results calculated by the model with the results of the trial. Eighteen trials were chosen by an independent advisory committee. Half the trials had been used to help build the model ("internal" or "dependent" validations); the other half had not. Those trials comprise "external" or "independent" validations. RESULTS: A total of 74 validation exercises were conducted involving different treatments and outcomes in the 18 trials. For 71 of the 74 exercises there were no statistically significant differences between the results calculated by the model and the results observed in the trial. Considering only the trials that were never used to help build the model-the independent or external validations-the correlation was r = 0.99. Including all of the exercises, the correlation between the outcomes calculated by the model and the outcomes seen in the trials was r = 0.99. When the absolute differences in outcomes between the control and treatment groups were compared, the correlation coefficient was r = 0.97. CONCLUSIONS: The Archimedes diabetes model is a realistic representation of the anatomy, pathophysiology, treatments, and outcomes pertinent to diabetes and its complications for applications that involve the populations, treatments, outcomes, and health care settings spanned by the trials.

Today I worked with a reader of this blog to help with a challenge. The company wanted a Crystal Report filtered to only display data with the current date with a time equal to or after 10:00 PM and include records for next day with the time being equal to or before 7:00 AM.
The final Report Selection formula looked similar to this:
(DateDiff ("d",{ACTIVITY.STARTDATE} ,CurrentDate ) = 0 and Time({HISTORY.CREATEDATE}) >= TimeSerial (22, 00,00))
(DateDiff ("d",{ACTIVITY.STARTDATE} ,CurrentDate ) = 1 and Time({HISTORY.CREATEDATE}) <= TimeSerial (07, 00,00))
If you want to play with this you could use your Sage SalesLogix Activity table.
It was kind of a fun challenge and I thought some others would benefit from seeing the result. If you have similar challenges please feel to write me directly at email@example.com.
Thanks for reading.

During Playboy's 2013 Super Bowl Party held at the Jax Brewery, New Orleans Saints' head coach Sean Payton was just one of the many celebrities present at this jaw-dropping celebration.
Sean Payton, while grooving to the music, happened to bump into another football head coach and no it wasn't one of the "Ryan Brothers." It was none other than American rapper, songwriter and youth football coach "Snoop Dogg."
According to Snoop's Instagram, the rapper had enjoyed the fact that Sean Payton was going to return to the NFL. League Commissioner Roger Goodell lifted the season-long suspension held by the Saints' head coach, a punishment given due to the New Orleans' "Bounty Scandal."
For Sean Payton, it seems like everything is now slowly, but surely getting back to normal.

BLEDSOE, Ky. (AP) - A winter storm that dumped half a foot of
snow on portions of the Kentucky mountains claimed the lives of two
motorists who crashed into a creek after sliding off an icy road on
Kentucky State Police Trooper Walt Meachum said the vehicle slid
off snow- and ice-covered Kentucky 2009 when the driver, Benjamin
Blanton II, 34, of Wallins, attempted to turn onto Kentucky 221.
Meachum said in a press release that the vehicle overturned and
submerged in a stream just before 1 a.m. EST and was swept into a
culvert by rushing water.
Blanton and a passenger, Kevin Jewell, 31, of Harlan, were
unable to get out of the vehicle and were pronounced dead by Harlan
County Coroner Phillip Bianchi. Two other passengers escaped.
Much of Kentucky avoided slick roads as cold weather chased rain
through the state. In the eastern part of Kentucky, however,
considerable snow had fallen in some areas by dawn on Friday.
Emergency dispatcher Les Leatherman at the state police post in
London described travel in his district as slick and hazardous. And
state police dispatcher Gary Thomas in Morehead said up to four
inches of snow had fallen in Powell, Wolfe and Menifee counties,
making travel dangerous.
The National Weather Service office in Jackson reported
accumulations of more than 6 inches in the Appalachian foothills.
Spokesman Jeff Carico said the weather system that brought the snow
has moved out of the region and no additional appreciable
accumulation is expected today.
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet spokeswoman Robin Jenkins said
crews still were plowing roads in portions of eastern Kentucky late
Friday morning.
