You're hosting a dance/Italian plumber enthusiasts party at your United Kingdom-based flat and need entertainment -- we totally get it. And so does Nintendo, apparently, as the game maker is bringing three new bundles to the UK starting on November 8th with the release of a New Super Mario Bros. U/32GB deluxe edition Wii U game console (the pack also contains the Luigi-based expansion). Next, on November 15th, an 8GB Wii U model gets bundled with Wii Party U and NintendoLand; a third, also 8GB unit, arrives on November 22nd with Just Dance 4 and NintendoLand.
Nintendo's got each console listed at £250 ($400) on its new store, and pins the Just Dance 4 and Wii Party U versions as "limited edition." So, uh, act now! Maybe not. Considering the console itself normally costs £250 without any games at all, it sounds like Nintendo may be encountering some sales slowdown in the UK (things certainly haven't been rosy sales-wise in the US market). Anyway, probably not a rush on these puppies at the market next month, but some good options if you're looking for a Wii U with a free game other than The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD.
MARIO & LUIGI PREMIUM PACK, Wii PARTY U BASIC PACK & JUST DANCE 2014 BASIC PACK BUNDLES TO RELEASE IN EUROPE
Get the party started as Nintendo announce 3 new Wii U hardware bundles launching in time for the festive season
10th October 2013 – The lead up to Christmas is set to be an exciting time for fans looking for value and variety in their gaming, with the announcement of three new Wii U hardware bundle releases coming this November. Perfect for festive celebrations, the new bundles incorporate games to really get the party started such as Wii Party U and Just Dance 2014, as well as a bundle combining both New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U in a special one game disc offering.
On 8th November, the release of the Mario & Luigi Premium Pack will offer both New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U packaged as a '2 in 1' disc alongside a black premium Wii U console with 32GB* of storage, plus a black Wii U GamePad controller. In New Super Mario Bros. U run, leap and stomp your way through a giant world map full of challenging courses and a variety of gameplay modes to sharpen your platforming skills. In New Super Luigi U, although the games basic systems are the same as New Super Mario Bros. U, the 82 courses on the World Map have been replaced with brand new ones especially for Luigi. Containing seemingly improbable jumps, formidably hidden Star Coins and a time limit of 100 seconds to complete each course it's going to be one speedy adventure.
On 15th November, an ideal bundle for all the family releases in the shape of the Wii Party U Basic Pack, comprising of a white Wii U console with 8GB** of storage, white Wii U GamePad and Wii Remote Plus controller, Sensor Bar, and disc versions of party starters Wii Party U - releasing for Wii U on 25th October – and the already released Nintendo Land***. With Wii Party U, enjoy a vast array of games for friends and family to get stuck into, from quickfire, pick up and play Minigames to House Party games which require players to use the Wii U GamePad and Wii Remote Plus controller while also interacting with each other away from the TV. In addition, games in GamePad Party mode put the focus squarely on the Wii U GamePad screen, with the likes of 'Tabletop Football' and 'Mii-in-a-Row' pitting two players against each other in skill and strategy challenges. Throw into the mix more conventional board game and quiz-style activities, and Wii Party U offers seemingly endless ways to compete and have fun with friends!
Lastly, on 22nd November, get ready for a living room boogie with the help of Wii U when the Just Dance 2014 Basic Pack bundle launches. With the bundle containing a white Wii U console with 8GB** of storage, white Wii U GamePad and Wii Remote Plus controller, Sensor Bar, and disc versions of both Just Dance 2014 and Nintendo Land, get ready to enjoy either the fun attractions of a Nintendo theme park, or dancing the night away with friends to over 40 new tracks – from the hottest chart-toppers to the coolest classics - featuring in this latest title in the Just Dance series. Also featuring the series' first-ever online multiplayer mode, World Dance Floor, pull out your best moves against other players from across the world, while in Party Master mode, the Wii U GamePad is used to pick the next move or cue up the next song to dish out dance challenges to friends.

A failure of core routers in CenturyLink's internet service left about a million of the company's digital service line subscribers without service for about nine hours Wednesday.
Jeff Jones, a spokesman for CenturyLink said the cause of the router failure was unknown but a "port-mortem" examination of the failure is underway.
"We will work 24/7 to find out what happened and to assure it does not happen again," Jones said. "The good news is, the service is back on." ...

Wind-driven flames scorch more than 100 square miles near southern Colorado retreat
DEL NORTE, Colo. A colossal wildfire near a popular summer retreat in southern Colorado continues to be driven by winds and fueled by dead trees in a drought-stricken area, authorities said Sunday.
The weather has prevented fire crews from making progress on the blaze, which grew overnight to 108 square miles, up from 100 on Saturday. The speed with which the fire has spread is exceptional: It was just below 50 square miles Friday evening.
No structures have been lost in the fire, and no injuries have been reported.
It is doubtful fire crews could establish any containment lines until there's a break in the weather, possibly Tuesday, officials said. They remained optimistic they can protect the town, however.
As of Sunday, firefighters remained focused on protecting South Fork, the Wolf Creek ski area and homes along Highway 149.
Crews hoped to get aircraft up to drop water over the fire before afternoon winds of 30 to 40 miles an hour returned Sunday. Pete Blume, a commander with the Rocky Mountain Type 1 Incident Command Team, said the wildfire is the worst ever known to hit the Rio Grande National Forest.
"It's not typical to have these kinds of fires here," said Blume. "But beetle kill and drought is also not the norm."
Firefighters are hoping for a break in the high winds as well as the anticipated July monsoons to help them fight back the flames. Until then, Blume said, "with that much beetle kill and drought we could have every resource in the country here and still not put in a containment line."
Still, fire officials believe portions of the blaze will likely burn all summer in forested, nonresidential areas, with full extinguishment probably months away.
The lightning-sparked blaze started June 5, but its rapid advance Friday prompted the evacuation of hundreds of visitors and the town's 400 permanent residents.
Residents and tourists were settling in for a long wait before they can return to their homes, cabins and RV parks.
"They just said they had no idea how long it would be before we could back in South Fork," said Mike Duffy, who owns the South Fork Lodge.
Duffy said he and his wife, Mary, were able to get their personal possessions before fleeing fast-advancing flames that officials initially feared would overtake the town. But with the fire still within three miles of South Fork, they are worried about the long-term impact of a prolong evacuation and news reports about the fire raging around the tourism-dependent town.
Summer visitors include many retirees from Texas and Oklahoma who come to the mountains to flee the heat.

Police: Reported IUPUI gunman wasn't carrying gun...
Created by kblakeslee on 3/20/2013 12:36:26 PM
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) _ Police say a student who reported seeing a man with a gun at a downtown Indianapolis university campus did not actually see the man carrying a gun.
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis Police Capt. Bill Abston tells The Indianapolis Star the student was in a campus parking lot about 12:30 p.m. Tuesday when she saw a man in a long brown coat with a gun in the trunk of his car.
Abston says the woman told officers she ducked and lost sight of the man.
Campus police issued an alert and ordered a campus lockdown for four hours Tuesday as police searched for the man.
Abston says police were dealing with unknowns and their response to the reported gunman was appropriate.

A big one-time payout to Eastman Kodak Co.'s retirees meant a big pool of red ink in the company's most-recent monthly operating statement.
For December, Kodak's U.S. operations racked up a total net loss of $272.4 million - by far the biggest one-month loss the company has had since it began filing the monthly reports as part of its Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
However, that net loss came from a $464 million reorganization charge largely related to Kodak giving its U.S. retirees a $635 million unsecured claim - essentially an IOU - as compensation for eliminating their health and survivor benefits ...

License Renewed
In 1964, James Bond creator and sole author of the James Bond books, Ian Fleming, passed away. While the future of the movies, which had taken on a life of their own, was not in doubt (at least not for a couple more years, which was when Sean Connery left the series), the novels seemed like they might go to the grave with Fleming. After scrambling around for a way to continue the series, the Fleming estate and its publishing wing, Glidrose, chose acclaimed British novelist and well-known asshole Kingsley Amis to continue the series. Amis, who had previously written some Bond non-fiction and seemed to take the job solely so he could indulge his hatred of the character M, wrote the first post-Fleming Bond novel, 1968's Colonel Sun. It was received about as well as one could expect (actually, about as well as any of Fleming's novels before the rose-tinting set in after his death), with common criticisms being that it wasn't Fleming enough, or that it was too Amis, or it was Amis writing down. So on and so forth. Whatever the case, plans were for Amis to continue, though when one hears some of the ridiculous ideas he had, including killing Bond off with an exploding martini, one thinks that it was perhaps for the best that these plans fell through. Similarly, plans to hire a series of authors who would all write Bond novels under the same pen name — Robert Markham — never came to fruition.

Horror at Adelaide River Races as horse bleeds to death
- From: NT News
- June 02, 2014
A RACE ended in tragedy after a horse bled to death at the Adelaide River races on Saturday.
Indigo Angel, owned by Mervin Rumble, was at the 850m mark in Race 5 when the five-year-old mare inexplicably ran through the inside running rail on the left hand side, resulting in a severed artery.
The bleeding horse ran through the centre of the track before halting about 100m after the winning post.
Organisers blocked off spectator views by holding a black polythene screen around the horse.
Jockey Kim Gladwin was dislodged from the horse without any injuries. He was examined by St John Ambulance officials but was declared unfit to complete the rest of his races.
Officials cannot explain why the horse reacted. The stewards inspection reported that the "track and running rail at the site of the incident revealed no evidence of any external cause for concern".
Mr Gladwin said the horse began well and raced tractably in the early stages, but in his opinion the horse reacted badly when racing inside the other runners.
The horse became short in her stride and veered inward abruptly, the report read.
Mr Rumble said in the report the mare had worked well leading up to the race without any incidents in its previous 12 races.
Thoroughbred Racing of the Northern Territory chief executive Andrew O'Toole said the "horrific" situation was unfortunate.
"It's always upsetting to lose a horse on the racetrack. It's one of those things that we don't like to highlight," Mr O'Toole said.
He said it was not long after the incident that the horse collapsed. Mr O'Toole said his staff handled the situation well.
"It's just one of those things – it's unfortunate but we do see it once every now and then on the racecourse," Mr O'Toole said.
Bystander Steve Lilly, 24, said while the news wasn't announced over the speakers, word spread fast through the crowd about the horse that cut itself.
He said he could only see the organisers holding a black polythene screen.
"I thought they were going to shoot it," he said. Indigo Angel, which won one race and $11,000 prizemoney, was buried at the racetrack on Sunday.
Police said patrons at the event were "for the most part very well behaved".
Superintendent Craig Barrett said approximately 2500 people attended the races with the majority of the attendees enjoying the day.
"However it was disappointing to see a number of people having to be removed from the venue for anti-social behaviour," Superintendent Barrett said.
Police from Northern Substance Abuse Intelligence Desk (NSAID), Dog Operations Unit, Northern Traffic Operations, Metropolitan Patrol Group (MPG), Adelaide River, Batchelor, Pine Creek and Casuarina maintained patrols of the Stuart Highway, Township and race venue throughout the weekend.
"Of the near 700 RBT's conducted, police issued six Traffic Infringement Notices for Low Range Drink Driving, two summons to court for Medium Range Drink Driving and five other Traffic infringement notices.
Police thanked members of the public who "enjoyed the day for what it was and behaved accordingly".

Devoted(8): I was not aware that anyone has said anything about race horse trainers; the criticism on this page has been aimed squarely at the industry as a whole. Regardless of whether the trainers or jockeys love their horses or not, the outcome is the same. Additionally, I disagree with you - they are all bred to make money for their owners and trainers.
Devoted horse owner of Humpty Doo Posted at 9:16 AM June 05, 2014
Are you kidding me!!!! Before you judge all racehorse trainers in the same breath take a moment to think .... they are not all like that. Not all racehorses are just there to make money and glory for the owners or trainers!!!!! This trainer and owner in particular actually loves his horses, they are treated and cared for exceptionally well and when this incident happened he was devastated. It doesn't just stop with him, the strapper also a horse lover was also extremely upset, work day in and day out with horses and you form a close bond with them. So next time before you judge and have an opinion maybe think that there are ppl in the racing industry that love horses and love racing and do it for that very fact!!!!!
William of Sandy Bay Posted at 9:11 AM June 05, 2014
Greg(3): I am somewhat mystified as to why anybody would quote Stalin. He is long gone and his views of the world went with him. He was never "up there" in the credibility stakes, and this quote adds nothing to the plight of horses in our community.

Do we live in a Christian country? Prime Minister's remarks spark debate
Posted: April 21, 2014|
Prime Minister David Cameron, writing for Church Times
"Some people feel that in this ever more secular age we shouldn't talk about these things (Christianity). I completely disagree.
"I believe we should be more confident about our status as a Christian country, more ambitious about expanding the role of faith-based organisations, and, frankly, more evangelical about a faith that compels us to get out there and make a difference to people's lives.
"First, being more confident about our status as a Christian country does not somehow involve doing down other faiths or passing judgement on those with no faith at all.
"Many people tell me it is easier to be Jewish or Muslim in Britain than in a secular country precisely because the tolerance that Christianity demands of our society provides greater space for other religious faiths, too.
"Crucially, the Christian values of responsibility, hard work, charity, compassion, humility, and love are shared by people of every faith and none – and we should be confident in standing up to defend them.
"People who, instead, advocate some sort of secular neutrality fail to grasp the consequences of that neutrality, or the role that faith can play in helping people to have a moral code.
"Of course, faith is neither necessary nor sufficient for morality.
"Many atheists and agnostics live by a moral code – and there are Christians who don't. But for people who do have a faith, that faith can be a guide or a helpful prod in the right direction – and, whether inspired by faith or not, that direction or moral code matters."
Andrew Copson is chief executive of the British Humanist Association
"The vast majority of British people – who are not believing practising Christians – will deeply regret the comments of their Prime Minister.
He is wrong when he says that Britain is a Christian country: most of us aren't Christian in our beliefs and our society has been shaped for the better by many pre-Christian, non-Christian, and post-Christian forces.
"He is equally misguided in wanting to increase the role of religious organisations in our society.
"This divisive activity is unpopular and undemocratic and has negative consequences for the rights and freedoms of many in Britain.
"More generally, people certainly don't want religion to have more influence in government – in a 2006 Ipsos MORI poll, "religious groups and leaders" actually topped the list of domestic groups that people said had too much influence on government."
In response to the Prime Minister's comments on the persecution of Christians around the world, Mr Copson continued:
"There is a consensus in modern Britain that everyone should have freedom of thought and belief and that persecution of anyone for their beliefs is wrong and should be stopped.
"It's right that our country should take a lead in speaking out for oppressed minorities wherever and whoever they are.
"What is regrettable is that our Prime Minister should try to exceptionalise Christians in this way – Jews, non-religious people, Muslims, Buddhists and others are equally at risk in a range of ways that deserve our urgent attention."

PITTSBURGH -- If Sidney Crosby didn't realize how much he was missed by Penguins' fans, he does now.
Crosby, whose popularity in Pittsburgh might be unrivaled by any other athlete, took the ice to a standing ovation during his first training camp practice Saturday. While players such as Evgeni Malkin and Marc-Andre Fleury also drew loud cheers when they first stepped onto the ice, the greeting given to Crosby was movie-star like. There were additional cheers when he merely skated up and down the ice and even more when he began passing the puck during routine drills.
Crosby, who hasn't played since Jan. 6 because of a concussion, stood out from the rest of his teammates for reasons other than his still-evident hockey skills. He is wearing a white helmet, rather than a black one like the rest of his teammates, to signify that he cannot be involved in contact. Crosby, whose recovery from the concussion remains ongoing, has been cleared to practice but still cannot take part in any scrimmaging or contact drills. He also wore the white helmet during an informal team workout Friday.
Crosby expects camp to be more intense and physically demanding than the practices were when he resumed working out with his teammates on March 31. He stopped practicing during the Penguins' first-round playoff loss to Tampa Bay when his concussion symptoms returned.

Pella Cross Country Coach Comments on Strong Fall Season
Posted By News On November 6, 2009 @ 6:30 am In Today's Local Sports | Comments Disabled
After last weekend, Pella High School's fall sports programs have already claimed one state title, and the Little Dutch aren't done playing just yet. Pella cross country Head Coach Doug Cutler's boys team claimed the Class 3-A team title on Saturday and the girls squad scored a great fifth-place finish, but Cutler says all of the athletic programs at the school should be proud of their accomplishments.
"It's been an outstanding fall. I want to take the time to congratulate Coach [Jay] McKinstrey and the football team in how well they've played; and Coach [Bob] Fessler and the volleyball team are still playing and they're just doing a fantastic job," said Cutler. "You know, I admire those coaches as much for what they do with their athletes' character and mental preparation and teaching these young people values and things like that as much as their performance on the field."
The Little Dutch football team plays tonight in the State Quarterfinals, and the volleyball team has moved on to state as well. Cutler, who has family ties to the Pella Christian sports program as well, also congratulated the Eagles' football, cross country, and volleyball teams on fantastic fall sports seasons. All of those programs also qualified teams or individuals for the postseason, with the Lady Eagles volleyball still alive in the State Volleyball Tournament as well.

Defensive lineman for the Southfield football team Malik McDowell with some of the thousands of recruiting letters from colleges all over the country Wednesday January 29, 2014. Kirthmon F. Dozier/Detroit Free Press / Detroit Free Press
McDowell has narrowed his choices to Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State and Florida State. / Kirthmon F. Dozier/DFP
McDowell, who transferred from Detroit Loyola, runs through drills during the first day of practice. / Andre J. Jackson/Detroit Free Press
Malik McDowell stopped Oak Park running back Ricardo Brown on this play, but was called for a face mask penalty during the September 20, 2013 game. / Andre J. Jackson/Detroit Free Press
When the first letter came years ago, Malik McDowell was surprised.
When the first scholarship offer came from Syracuse after his sophomore season, McDowell was encouraged.
But as the letters kept coming, it almost became too much.
In the three years since he was viewed as a possible college football prospect, the Southfield defensive end has received some mail from colleges across the country.
Well, maybe a little more than some.
Ive still got them all, he said recently, explaining the demand on Michigans top 2014 recruit in the Free Press Best of the Midwest. Its probably close to 10,000 (or) 20,000 pieces of mail.
The pieces come to his parents separate residences. They came to his former high school, Detroit Loyola, for the past few years and now to his current high school, Southfield.
Mail was even sent to his San Antonio hotel in early January when he was staying there at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl.
Theyve filled two suitcases and a few crates, threatening to overtake even more space at his parents houses.
The mailman at his fathers Southfield-area home wants a meeting with the 6-foot-6, 292-pounder who might be inducing back pain.
Seventy pieces arrived at his mothers house one day, in one mailing, from Florida State. So his mother, Joya Crowe, snapped a photo, but most of the letters remain sealed.
I cant open all of them, McDowell said. Theres just too many.
Its ridiculous and, as McDowell concedes, a waste of paper, a tactic that wont sway his decision-making in the slightest.
But thats the current recruiting world and, according to the Rivals.com recruiting rankings, where McDowell sits No. 26 overall, there are only six uncommitted players ahead of him, making the final weeks of recruiting furious for his attention.
Up close and personal
When school started Jan. 16 at Southfield around 11 a.m. since exams were that day the coaches were waiting.
On the first day contact was allowed during the latest recruiting period under NCAA rules, Michigan State defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi, Michigan defensive coordinator Greg Mattison and Alabama assistant Bobby Williams were patiently biding their time at the school.
McDowell arrived at school, entered a tiny office and sat against the left wall in the middle of a row of chairs. At a small round table, Narduzzi began speaking, talking about football, about life, about his future in both areas the door closed for just the two of them.
Michigan State was here, then Michigan came, they just walked right in and sat down, McDowell said. That was pretty funny. I was just sitting there watching (Coach) Narduzzi was sitting right here. It just all stopped. Then (Mattison) was like, Oh, is this a bad time? It made me laugh.
In 45-minute chunks the coaches cycled through: MSU, U-M, Alabama, Florida State, LSU. McDowell said he stayed mostly quiet, listening, hearing the same speech over and over.
He wanted to focus, to hear something different, but he had spoken to many of these schools these coaches over and over again.
We need you Youll be able to play We can turn you into a first-round pick The first pick in the (NFL) draft.
The last one just seems too much, considering only three defensive linemen have been the NFLs No. 1 pick since 1994. But thats the pitch McDowell liked hearing the most, believing its possible.
Mostly, the coaches who connected most are the ones that just talk to you like youre friends, sometimes its not even about football. ... Mostly everybody in my last group thats left, they all do that.
Those school visit days are draining for McDowell, who whittled his list to four Tuesday night Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State and Florida State bumping the Tide the night before Alabamas Nick Saban was scheduled to arrive.
But the coaches get more than repetitive conversations with McDowell.
A lot of these schools are very professional in their approach and they will invest a lot of time and money in these kids, Southfield coach Tim Conley said. So when the head coach comes in we try to have a group ready to be available teachers, administrators and counselors.
LSUs Les Miles got the social studies teacher and the police liaison. MSU coach Mark Dantonio met the principal and a counselor.
So they know what kind of person Malik is, Conley said.
At times that day, McDowell was trying to escape, lying on the couch in a secondary recruiting room, chatting up the coaches from Iowa, Eastern Michigan and Boston College who were at Southfield to recruit other prospects.
McDowell always had friends older than he was most of his closest friends are in college or out of school already so he relates well to the recruiters.
But that doesnt mean he enjoys the process.
He barely answers his phone. It rings constantly all day, even when hes in class. But unless its a saved number or from a local area code, hes not answering.
Everyone has my number, he said, shaking his head.
Growing up
Seeing his giant child, Greg McDowell realized early that Malik could handle physical work.
So when Malik got in trouble as a young kid, his dad created a plan.
Instead of Greg physically punishing his son, Malik had to do it to himself with exercise. Push-ups, sit-ups, 6-inch leg lifts.
In Maliks recollection, when he stepped out of line, this lasted from when he got home from school until bedtime.
His dad recalls them being an hour, but a serious hour of calisthenics the elder McDowell learned when he was in the military.
Ive seen his athletic promise growing up, Greg said. He was always a big kid and he had a lot of energy so I figured, You get in trouble at school, youve got so much energy? Youve got enough energy to perform for what you did, at home.
And Malik had the energy for sports.
It started with swim lessons, but McDowell never competed on a regular basis. Then it moved to basketball, but he was too physical (too aggressive tackling people on the court.)
That led to football at age 7 and the Detroit Police Athletic Leagues Westside Cubs.
McDowell started at 7, but constantly battled to stay under the weight limit. One year hed star, the next hed have to diet because he was too big for the age group.
Just like now, he wasnt fat, just a large body.
He starting playing at quarterback, but his temperament made him destined for the defensive line because he noted its all contact on every play.
When it was time to look at high school, his friends went to Detroit Cass Tech.
His family decided the smaller classes and all-boys school at Detroit Loyola would serve him better academically.
McDowell didnt like it at the time, but concedes now it was probably the best decision for me and my grades.
He wanted to continue with PAL an extra year, but Greg McDowell decided it was time for big-boy football, especially considering at 14 his boy was 6-feet-3, 225 pounds.
Malik McDowell was so big that at the first Loyola practice he had to wear shorts because there werent thigh pads for him, but he still held his own that day and for the next three years.
After that, with his father living in Southfield, he wanted to play his senior year at a bigger school.
I wanted to play better competition and getting ready to go to college, so going to a co-ed school helped, McDowell said.
Big man, big season
When McDowell arrived at Southfields first practice last summer, he was big on reputation.
We didnt know what to expect, there wasnt a lot of film on him, Conley said. We knew he was a highly recruited player, but that doesnt always equate to being a good football player. But we were really impressed with his football IQ and the amount of technique he exhibited.
Playing on a defensive line with three other players headed to college on scholarship, including Michigan commit Lawrence Marshall, McDowell fit right in.
Making 89 tackles, with eight sacks, three forced fumbles and one fumble recovery, he was a major force on a defense that allowed only eight points per game.
Playing near Marshall benefited both it freed me up sometimes and freed him up sometimes to have a single block now and then, McDowell said but when he was at end, it was a usually a tackle and a running back working in tandem to block McDowell.
There was production, though not dominance, but with enough flashes to tease recruiters.
One of the most memorable moments came in late October in a 20-10 loss to Clarkston.
With Clarkston on Southfields 1-yard line and McDowell at defensive tackle over the center, a quarterback sneak was expected. So McDowell offered his own sneak.
I jumped over the center, hit the quarterback (so fast that) the quarterback handed it off, I tripped up the running back but he had those last couple steps (into the end zone), McDowell said, still frustrated. I had the quarterback wrapped.
A nearly 300-pound man hurdling a center is memorable. Thats what these college coaches see in McDowell.
Winding down the process
Relief is coming, and Greg McDowell knows it.
He enjoys that Malik is being celebrated in the recruiting process and wants the best for his son, who has taken visits to Florida, Florida State (where he reveled in holding the national championship trophy), LSU and Michigan State, with his last one scheduled this weekend to Ohio State.
(Malik McDowell wont officially visit Michigan because Ive seen Michigan so many times, its unbelievable. Ive been on an academic tour nine or 10 times.)
Greg sees all these programs he grew up watching on the big stage noting that three are driving distance and the one that isnt, in Tallahassee, he has already scouted the job market, just in case and now his son gets to choose.
But for all the platitudes about size, skill and ability, Greg is not worried about football, because he feels Malik will succeed anywhere on the field. Hes looking for the best academic and social fit for his son.
No matter what the decision and he, Crowe and Malik will sit together and discuss it after the Columbus visit there will be relief Wednesday, after Malik is expected to sign his letter of intent.
Well get a chance to just breathe a little bit, not worry about the phone buzzing and let it settle in for Malik and he can have a normal finish to his high school year, Greg said. Im praying he makes the best decision for him and he stays on the path hes on.
Everyone will be able to relax especially the mailman.

Town of Franklin Board of Aldermen passed the proposed town budget for the fiscal year 2012-13 earlier this month, wherein board members resolved the contentious issue of establishing municipal water and sewer rates for Maconians tapped into the utility.
The June 7 meeting was a continuation from a budget workshop held just days before, where officials held little debate over most of the proposed $8.4 million budget laid out by Town Manager Sam Greenwood. The proposed flat budget included no increase on the valuation tax rate, and introduced a small raise in base pay for town employees.
Aldermen and Mayor Joe Collins could not however decide on setting a water and sewer rate schedule. The proposed budget levied for an average increase of six percent for water and 14 percent for sewer services to compensate for a shortfall in utility revenue.
The proposed increases were drafted in order to "build reserves" for the service and pay off debts incurred by infrastructure improvements in recent years. Aldermen opted for the continuation meeting to focus primarily on the utility rate issue, as the proposed increases seemed "quite steep," according to Alderman Bob Scott.
In an effort to curtail the increases, Greenwood proposed to keep water rates at the current schedule for customers with threequarter inch water connections within city limits. Such residents make up the bulk of the utility service, approximately 2,400 people.
For the same customers, a seven cent increase would be introduced for sewer rates. Starting July 1, Greenwood also proposed that the rest of the rate schedule be established, as town residents will incur an eight cent sewer increase. He suggested that such a move would afford the town some utility revenues by fall of next year to cover ongoing utility maintenance.
The budget, along with its utility revision passed with a 4-1 vote, with Scott casting the dissenting vote.

UPDATE - Due to rain and rain threats last week, we were not able to complete the scheduled maintenance work as planned. Below is an updated list of streets which, weatehr permiting, will undergo scheduled maintenance.
Columbia Public Works will continue our annual street maintenance projects of sealing roadways, commonly called "chip n' seal", through Friday, August 16 and perhaps beyond depending on weather.
Chip n' seal maintenance consists of thoroughly cleaning the road surface, applying a layer of liquid asphalt to seal cracks, applying a layer of rock and rolling it into the liquid asphalt, and then brooming off the excess rock.
Sealing road surfaces with this method can greatly extend the life of roadways and is very cost effective. The cost of chip n' seal is one-seventh the cost of milling and overlaying a roadbed. The total cost to complete 30.78 lane miles of roads is $234,000. The work will be performed by City of Columbia Street Division crews. The funding source is the transportation sales tax and gasoline tax.
While crews perform the work, motorist should expect lane restrictions and delays. Once the sealing is complete, motorist and cyclist may experience loose gravel in the gutters and a few other areas. Crews will return as needed to sweep and remove the excess rock.
All work is weather dependent and the schedule may be adjusted accordingly.
We will release each weeks projects and any schedule updates on the Thursday prior to the start date.
Work scheduled for the week of August 12 through August 16:
August 12 & 13
Harden from the north end to Hope Pl
East Forest Av from Garth Av to Providence Rd
Independence Av from the south end to Mikel St
Parklawn Av from Doris Dr to Texas Av
Gus Ct from the north end to Primrose
August 13 & 14

Curt Schilling pitched for three World Series champions, including the 2004 and 2007 Boston Red Sox. / Kathy Willens, AP
(Editor's note: USA TODAY Sports is publishing sketches of the top Hall of Fame candidates on this year's ballot. It is an intriguing group, ranging from players with first-ballot accomplishments marred by the cloud of performance-enhancing drugs to unsullied players nearing the end of their 15-year eligibility. The Baseball Writers Association of America will announce Jan. 9 who, if anyone, accumulates the 75% of the vote necessary for induction.)
Name: Curt Schilling
Position: Pitcher
Career: 1988 to 2007; Baltimore Orioles, Houston Astros, Philadelphia Phillies, Arizona Diamondbacks, Boston Red Sox
Year on ballot: First
Why he should be inducted: Because he was the dominant postseason pitcher of his generation â?? and he has the credentials to be elected even if he never threw a pitch in October.
Schilling was remarkably durable â?? leading his league in complete games four times and finishing in the top three nine times. He was historically efficient â?? leading his league in strikeout-walk ratio five times in a six-year span that included both leagues and compiling the best career ratio in the majors since 1884. And he was exceptionally consistent â?? finishing second in Cy Young Award voting three times, the top 10 in ERA nine times from 1992 to 2004, the top eight in pitchers' WAR 11 times from 1992 to 2006, the top five in strikeouts eight times from 1993 to 2006.
And then there's the playoffs, mostly crammed into the final seven of his 20 seasons, when he was on three World Series winners. Schilling was 10-1 in those three postseasons with a 2.18 ERA â?? and 11 of the 23 earned runs he allowed came in two starts.
Why he shouldn't be inducted: Because Schilling spent most of his career as an unexceptional workhorse pitcher until a late rush on a few strong teams. Until he was traded to Arizona as a 33-year-old during the 2000 season, Schilling was 105-88 with a 3.41 ERA.
Even with three 20-win seasons in the latter part of his career, he finished with 216 career victories in 20 seasons. That's Charlie Hough-Rick Reuschel-Kenny Rogers territory. He had winning records in 11 seasons, single-digit win totals in 10 of them. No Hall of Fame pitcher lasted 20 seasons and had fewer victories than Schilling.
Numbers don't lie: The Jack Morris Hall of Fame case is based on his postseason excellence. Schilling was 11-2, 2.23 in the playoffs compared with Morris' 7-4, 3.80. Schilling's WHIP was 0.97; Morris 1.25. Schilling struck out 120 and walked 25; Morris' ratio was 64-32. They both averaged slightly more than seven innings a start, better than Roger Clemens.
Verdict: Some voters might have trouble separating Schilling's ego and self-promotional abilities from his performance, but he'll get in sooner rather than later.

The Day a $2.2 Million Lamborghini Sesto Elemento Came to My Hood
Categories: Ride Me
Jenna Jameson Drives Stolen Maserati: Suit
Though most cars on the lot at 1425 W. Baker St., Costa Mesa, sell in the $150,000-$500,000 range, the Lamborghini Newport Beach's recent grand opening featured a $2.2 million ride.
Lamborghini Newport Beach's blog features photographs of the Sesto Elemento being gently unloaded for the party. This was a rare sight indeed because the first time the car had been shown in America was in Pebble Beach the week before.
|Courtesy of lambonb.com
|No, that's not me, nor is it my car.
|Courtesy of lamborghininewportbeach.blogspot.com
|Take a picture, it will last longer.
So, what's the big whoop? Built by Lamborghini's Advanced Composites Research Center, the sports car weighs just 2,202 lbs., has a 570hp V10 engine and accelerates from 0-62 mph in 2.5 seconds. That's faster than it takes to wait for the green on those damn freeway meters!
It's reported on the Lamborghini Newport Beach blog that the Sesto Elemento sits so low to the ground that it's difficult to pull it off a truck on an incline. Boards had to be strategically placed, over and over, to get the sports car into the Costa Mesa showroom.
Once it was fired up, onlookers got a treat.
"The sound was just incredible, something that you only could dream of hearing in person," reports the blog.
For the dealer's recent grand opening, the Aventador LP 700-4 featured in the Batman Dark Knight Rises movie was also on display. Surely someone else was playing a movie in their own mind of a race.

Hwy 169 restricted from St. Peter to LeSueur to two lanes begins July 17
Lane restrictions initially scheduled for June were delayed due to flooding
MANKATO, Minn. – Hwy 169 motorists between St. Peter and Le Sueur will be restricted to two-way on two lanes beginning July 17 for several months for reconstruction work that help keep traffic moving during Minnesota River flooding.
From July 17 to late August, traffic will be restricted to two lanes, two-way in the southbound lanes from St. Peter to Roberts Creek and two-way traffic in northbound from Roberts Creek to north of the Cambria silo. The traffic restrictions will allow reconstruction on the northbound lanes from Union Street to north of Hwy 22/Dodd St. in St. Peter, permanent access to Treaty Site, Hwy 169/93 ramps, and removal of the crossing at Ritt St.
Ironically, the flood mitigation experienced a significant delay due to the recent flooding in the Minnesota River Valley. The project is about four weeks behind, but MnDOT and the contractor will work to get the project complete this construction season. Anyone with concerns about the construction can call the hotline at 855-931-5347.
The project includes raising the grade and reconstructing two miles in flood prone areas so that the southbound lanes remain above a 100-year flood and can carry traffic during high water. It also includes resurfacing 9 miles of southbound Hwy 169 for a smoother ride and access revisions in St. Peter for improved safety. The Hwy 169 project is being built in coordination with St. Peter's project on Old Minnesota Ave.
Hoffman Construction of Black River Falls, Wisconsin is the contractor on the $10,681,882 project.
This is the first of three Minnesota River flood mitigation projects Mn/DOT has planned. In 2015, an additional bridge will be installed on Hwy 22 at the south edge of St. Peter to handle additional water flow during floods. In 2016 a project to raise the flood-prone areas on Hwy 169 between Mankato and St. Peter will also include adding cable median barriers and resurfacing. More information can be found at www.dot.state.mn.us/d7/projects/floodmitigation/.

Turn a felt bracelet blank into a charming hair band with a few beads and stitches. And stitch a few leaf brooches for hair pins too!
- Feltworks wool felt leaf embellishments
- Feltworks four petal flowers
- Feltworks spiral bracelet olive
- Blue Moon mini bead mix: light and dark amber
- Ladybug beads
- Large eye beading needle or beading needle
- Green thread
- Scissors
- Beacon felt glue or Ad-tech low temp glue gun and sticks
- Plate for beads
- Pin back
- Plaid Artistrywear seed bead necklace gold
Hair Band
- Select five leaves and set others aside to make pins later.
- Mix light and dark amber mini bead mixes together on a plate.
- Thread needle and knot end. Bring needle up through back of a leaf (I started near bottom at center of stem). You want to leave about 1/8 allowance as you bead around the leaf edge. String on 6 mini beads in random order and bring needle down into the felt. Bring needle back up between third and fourth bead and bring thread through fourth, fifth, and sixth beads again. String on 6 more mini beads in random order and repeat the backstitch. Continue until you've outlined the leaf with beads.
- Now bead on the center vein of the leaf with same process as used in Step 3. The backstitch secures the string of beads making it more stable. When done knot off and make 5 beaded leaves for headband. You can make beaded leaf pins or even earrings with the remaining leaves.
- Unfurl the spiral wool bracelet. The wire inside of bracelet can be molded to a headband shape. Find center. Glue 3 wool felt flowers just off center. To that side adhere 2 of your beaded leaves. To the opposite side adhere 3 of your leaves.
- Adhere ladybug beads to two of the leaves. One on each side.
You can bead the leftover leaves from the embellishment package and turn them into pins. Bead the leaf as instructed in Steps 3 and 4. Trace the leaf outline onto lightweight cardboard. Trim 1/8" giving you a slightly smaller shape than the felt leaf. Adhere to back of leaf. Trace the leaf outline onto green sheet felt and cut out just slightly smaller than leaf. Adhere to back of leaf to cover cardboard and give support to your pin. Adhere a ladybug bead to front. Add pinback finding.
Another Idea!
Using a pre-made seed bead necklace in gold. Attach beaded left to strands by sewing a ladybug bead through left, around strands, and back through several times. Add a second ladybug bead if desired. Using a pre-made necklace makes this an easy necklace to make.

Posted by CotoBlogzz 10-07-2010 - Updated 10-10-2010 with Stop the Jobs recommendations
Rancho Santa Margarita, CA - While heuristics indicate that a NO vote in any California's direct special interest democracy is a wise move, following the money may be even better. Below is a list of the 2010 California propositions, their main supporters and our recommendations, including a brief rationale.
Now, before you dismiss our recommendations, consider that two years ago, we forecasted that 2010 would usher in a disruptive political environment, such that it would make Madam Senator Barbara Boxer, Speaker Pelosi and Senator Harry Reid vulnerable. Pundits and observers alike laughed at our thinking then, describing it as typical fringe teabagger mentality. Then we predicted that Health Care Reform would pass they same day conservative pundit Charles Krauthammer predicted it would fail by a 66%-33% margin, then we predicted an all California Girls slate in Whitman, Fiorina and Hutchens on month before the primary elections when most pundits called the races too close to call.
So go ahead, ignore our recommendations at your and California's peril.
2010 California Propositions, recommendations and brief rationale
THE FORUM: Vote "Yes" for 23; support jobs
The California Air Resources Board acknowledges that "no direct public health impacts" are expected from Prop 23. The proposition delays control of greenhouse gas emissions, implicated in global warming. It delays implementation of AB 32 (the global warming solution), which penalizes sources of emissions, especially refineries and fossil fuel power sources.

The variability of goniometric measurements in ambulatory children with spastic cerebral palsy
McDowell, BC, Hewitt, V, Nurse, A, Weston, T and Baker, RJ 2000, 'The variability of goniometric measurements in ambulatory children with spastic cerebral palsy' , Gait and Posture, 12 (2) , pp. 114-121.

This study assessed the variability of six goniometric measurements commonly used in the assessment of children with cerebral palsy (CP). Three experienced paediatric physiotherapists recorded three consecutive measurements of six joint ranges from 12 children with spastic CP. A fourth measurement was recorded 1 week later. The order of measurement with regards to both joint measurement and tester, was randomised to ensure a balanced experimental design. A blinded procedure was adopted with masked goniometers and a second assessor present to record the measurement. Results, analysed using generalizability theory, showed same day and different day measurement error of 910–14° (95% confidence limits) for the foot:thigh angle, abduction and internal rotation of the hip. The source of this was child-assessor and residual error. For ankle dorsiflexion and the popliteal angles, same day measurement error was similar. However, for joint ranges recorded on different days, error ranged from 918–28°. The major source of this was systematic differences in measurements recorded on different days. Results show a need for caution when using goniometric measurements in clinical decision making, particularly in the more tone dependent biarticular muscles after an initial assessment.

You Asked:
How does an EKG work? --- Kia, Boise, Idaho
Marshall Answered:
And EKG is also called an Electrocardiogram or an ECG. It is a way of measuring the electrical impulses that the heart generates as it is beating. If you look at How your heart works , you can see that there is a network of nerve pathways on the surface of the heart. Signals spread out from the sinoatrial node in a pattern that causes the heart muscle to contract properly during each beat.
Using a few electrical pickups and a fairly simple amplifier circuit, it is possible to detect the heart's electrical impulses on the skin. You can see how simple the circuits are here and here. The impulses can then be displayed on a screen for a doctor to interpret.
Many different heart abnormalities can be detected by looking at an EKG, especially following a heart attack. This library of EKG strips shows you how different problems can show up on an EKG.

Commission: 1. a fee paid to an agent or employee for transacting a piece of business or performing a service.
Original art is commissioned by patrons and fans every single day and in almost every field of art. It is a tradition that goes back literally centuries. Most of the fine art that fills our museums was, at some point, a commission. Today's topic is all about the ins and outs of commissions. And our focus is primarily within comics and illustration: The expectations of the commissioner as well as the artist, delivery of the finished piece, and patrons who choose to sell their commissions on the after market.
We also get into creating commissions featuring copyrighted characters, dealing with art reps and agents, and the future of original art commissions with digital tools becoming the weapon of choice in many an artist's arsenal.

|Nutritional state and energy balance in cirrhotic patients with or without hypermetabolism. Multicentre prospective study by the 'Nutritional Problems in Gastroenterology' Section of the Italian Society of Gastroenterology (SIGE).
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 15978878 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND AND AIMS: A total of 334 stable, compensated cirrhotic patients admitted to 10 Italian Gastroenterology Units were included in a prospective study to evaluate nutritional state and energy balance in liver cirrhosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Nutritional state and calorie intake were examined in the total population, while adequacy of calorie intake versus measured total energy expenditure was evaluated in a comparable subpopulation and in 40 matched controls, by computing the energy balance. RESULTS: Our data demonstrated that: (i) malnutrition was present in 25% of the total patients and significantly correlated with the Child's group (A=16%; B=25%; C=44%); (ii) the type of malnutrition is influenced by mBEE: normometabolic patients exhibit a significant (p<0.005) reduction of mid-arm fat area while both hypermetabolic and hypometabolic patients show a significant (p<0.005) decline in kg of free fat mass; (iii) normometabolic and hypometabolic patients have a negative energy balance, due to a high level of physical activity (127+/-14 kJ) in the first group and a reduced energy intake/kg body weight (102+/-12 kJ) in the second; (iv) hypermetabolic patients have a positive energy balance due to decreased daily physical activity/kg body weight (108+/-28 kJ); (v) malnourished and normometabolic patients eat a significantly (p<0.05) reduced percentage of protein whereas malnourished and hypermetabolic patients eat a significantly increased percentage of fat (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: Although multivariate regression analysis confirms that the Child-Pugh's score is a better independent predictor of malnutrition, the measure of REE, TEE, calorie intake and energy balance need to be routinely performed in cirrhotic patients, in order to recognise hypermetabolic and hypometabolic patients (approximately 30%) in whom the nutritional and metabolic parameters are indispensable as a basis for designing and prescribing personalised nutritional strategies that can treat muscle malnutrition and thus improve the morbidity and mortality rates.

Sean Brosnan's long-running Future Disco series has always been a good barometer of the nu-disco scene at any given point in time. This sixth volume continues the trend, offering up a selection that reflects the current fixation with disco, nu-disco and electrofunk-influenced house. So, we get Crazy P's Futureboogie-influcned "Heartbreaker", a Maceo Plex remake of Laura Jones, the Garden Festival-inspired late night slippiness of Greymatter's "Tisno", and even a dash of Hypercolour-era Groove Armada. Best of all, though, is the most obviously disco-centric track of all: Bonar Bradberry's Tiger and Woods-inspired Change cut-up, "Loose Grip".

Stevens Excited for Youth Next Year
Posted By Sports On August 6, 2013 @ 5:57 am In Today's Local Sports | Comments Disabled
Coach Adam Stevens has a lot of things to look forward to when the 2014 Central baseball season comes around next spring. He will have a program-record number of seniors returning with several years of experience under their belt, and most of those players also were involved in quite a few one-run games last year that went the Dutch's way. They may have a lot of experience and leadership coming back, but Stevens says he's also excited about the younger players who will be sophomores next season, many of whom he says could have played on the varsity squad in 2013. The Dutch skipper also stressed how important leadership is going to be for his team next year, and would like to see many of his returners step up into that role this spring.

Habs buried in nightmare on Broad Street
There was no magic in goaltender Jaroslav Halak's game Sunday night as he gave up four goals on 13 shots and the Philadelphia Flyers went on to beat the Canadiens 6-0 in Game 1 of the best-of-seven Eastern Conference final.
Halak was pulled after Philadelphia scored three times in the first 9:53 of the second period to take a 4-0 lead.
But there's no reason to believe that Halak won't be the starter in Game 2 Tuesday night (7 p.m., CBC, RDS, CJAD-Radio-800). Halak gave way to Carey Price after he surrendered five goals on 20 shots in the opening game of the semifinal series against Pittsburgh. The Canadiens lost that game 6-3, but Halak returned two nights later to make 38 saves as Montreal beat Pittsburgh, 3-1.
James van Riemsdyk took advantage of a misplay by rookie defenceman P.K. Subban to make the score 2-0 at the 30-second mark of the second period. Brian Gionta won a draw in the Canadiens' zone, but the puck went through Subban's legs and van Riemsdyk muscled the puck past Halak.
Penalties led to the next two goals. Daniel Brière scored on a shot to the far post at 4:23. While it wasn't technically a power-play goal, it came a second after Maxim Lapierre finished serving a two-minute penalty for roughing.
The Flyers scored their second power-play goal of the game at 9:53 when Simon Gagné scored on a screened shot from the faceoff circle.
Scott Hartnell added a goal at 12:13 of the third period and Claude Giroux completed the rout at 13:26.

I'm Not Alright
By: Anonymous
I came to you because you told me that whenever my friends are being cruel, I can come to you. But you turned your back on me and left me there to bleed.
My Heart Is Broken, I'm not alright I'm broken inside
When My friend has in the hospital, you would not let me see her. By the time you said yes, it was too late. She slipped through my fingers.
My Heart Is Broken, I'm not alright, I'm broken inside
When I was cutting my arms and attempted suicide, you came to my side. But when I promised you that I wouldn't cut myself again, you turned on me again!
My Heart Is Broken, I'm not alright I'm broken inside
Will I ever be good enough to be loved by anyone? Oh God please deliver me!!
When I met a girl who reminded my so much of the friend I lost. You said nothing when my friend told her I liked her. You didn't care at all that lies were being spread. Even though you knew the true way I felt about her.
My Heart Is Broken, I'm not alright I'm broken inside
Will there come a day when I will find myself again and be the kid you used to know?
Will I ever not come off as "Creepy" to people? Will one ever really care if I take me life or not. Because right now I feel like ending my life.
Will you miss me?? Doubt it, if anything you would be happy to see me there with a knife in my chest. I HATE YOU!!!

If you're expecting an action-packed drama and a bit of emotion, you won't be disappointed when the Federated Church hosts a presentation by Leisa Faulkner and Paul Burke, founders of Children's Hope on Saturday, Feb. 16.
As part of the city of Placerville's "Season of Nonviolence," Faulkner and Burke detail their years of working for and with kids in Haiti after the devastating earthquake.
Faulkner and Burke are working on some of Haiti's toughest problems. In her blog, "Coalition for Democracy in Haiti-Children's Hope," Faulkner described how prosthetics were delivered to kids who needed new limbs. She recounted her experience distributing medical supplies to clinics in tent cities.
"There were streams of women … carrying bundles of diapers, cases of soap and bleach, boxes of first-aid supplies and sanitary good and more — mostly on their heads, to a make-shift tent with a dirt floor," Faulkner said.
As she packed up for their most recent trip to Haiti in January, she said, "I am jolted … by the realization that the earthquake left nearly 300,000 dead and more dying every day."
In addition to describing their work in Haiti, Faulkner and Burke will also offer a historical analysis of Haiti. Both Faulkner and Burke teach at the University of the Pacific and Burke also teaches at California State University, Sacramento.
The presentation will be held at the Federated Church, 1031 Thompson Way in Placerville on Saturday, Feb.16 from 1 to 3 p.m.

U.S. Episcopate Publishing Vatican Document on Eucharist
| 564 hits
WASHINGTON, D.C., APRIL 23, 2004 (Zenit.org).- USCCB Publishing, an entity of the U.S. bishops' conference, is the initial publisher in this country on the Vatican's new document on matters regarding the Eucharist.
The Holy See today issued the instruction "Redemptionis Sacramentum" (The Sacrament of Redemption) to explain the deeper level of Church liturgical norms in the light of some abuses of liturgical law.
John Paul II had called for the instruction as a follow-up to his 2003 encyclical "Ecclesia de Eucharistia." The Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments prepared the instruction in collaboration with the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
In a statement welcoming the instruction, the president of the U.S. episcopal conference, Bishop Wilton Gregory, said: "In response to our Holy Father's mandate that bishops do all in their power to foster an appreciation of the inestimable treasure which is the Eucharistic mystery, the Congregation has provided us with a carefully developed tool to foster the authentic celebration of the Mass."
For information on how to order copies of the instruction (ISBN 1-57455-619-3), visit the bishops' Web site at www.usccb.org.

ASNE.org [PDF}
The American Society of News Editors says it reviewed the social media rules of leading mainstream news organizations and identified "the best-practice themes at the heart of the best policies."
The 10 key takeaways:
1. Traditional ethics rules still apply online.
2. Assume everything you write online will become public.
3. Use social media to engage with readers, but professionally.
4. Break news on your website, not on Twitter.
5. Beware of perceptions.
6. Independently authenticate anything found on a social networking
7. Always identify yourself as a journalist.
8. Social networks are tools not toys.
9. Be transparent and admit when you´re wrong online.
10. Keep internal deliberations confidential.
Reaction to the guidelines
* Steve Buttry: Good advice, but too much fear and not really "best practices"
* Joy Mayer: Good advice interspersed with real missteps
* Cory Bergman: Good recommendations, but one is more destructive than helpful
