EURUSD Coiling As Rumor (ECB) And Counter-Rumor (IMF) Dominate
Following the almost total lack of movement on the ECB 'savior' rumors, now we have IMF 'pain' rumors:
FURTHER REDUCTION LATER - Source
EURUSD is just coiling and coiling here - but of the two rumors, t's EUR40bn write-down makes the most sense in a rational world of trying to help Greece (and therefore must be discounted as 100% not what will happen). We can only imagine that the EU tactic is now to throw each strawman to the rumor-mill to see what reaction is generated by the market - so far - #FAIL.

Oh BOY is this GREAT!!
I think the reponse to this from BOTH the bankers and the Greeks was:
BWHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHHHAHAHAHHHAHHAHAHHA!!!!!! Oh-uh, huh-huh...heh.
This is something to watch....amazing in fact....to me Greece is winning this game...they just sit there...really they do nothing...no one has lost a job or a pension has not been cut....and they keep getting money....truly amazing
Ask the Greeks. They would disagree with your point. Their suffering is real enough and should scare anyone who still thinks their public service sector jobs, pensions or other entitlements are safe! Several municipalities across the US are implementing Greek style austerity.
Sometime soon, most likely in 2013, the oceans will turn to lemonade as promised.
This is a game of musical chairs and the music is about to stop. When it does, the guy without the chair will pick up the tab for Greece. I was talking to a friend in Greece last week. 2/3's of the population is hurting. The other 1/3 is getting by but very worried. The political elites live in some kind of fairy world.
The Greek elites have been googling the least painful way to commit suicide. They know that when this thing blows up they won't make it out alive.
The thing about a spring is that if you coil it too tight it snaps.
It's called a breakout and it looks like this:
The tension builds. Don't turn that channel.
Anyone notice the one rumor that has not come out is they will give up and not send Greece any more money?
Coiling. Is that something like when you've had your head spin so many times in one direction your brains explode?
Modified Valsalva maneuver, maybe?
Extremely modified. Sort of like in an old Bugs Bunny cartoon or something that might happen to Wild E Coyote after an ACME product malfunctions.
Get real long...Cuz it doens't matter what they do - only what they SAY...And I guarantee that nothing will be said to kill an upward move. How do I know? ...$16.00 in Appl, 3.00 in Amzn, Q's up .05 - That's the banks who ALREADY know which way this thing turns.
I think i heard line of reasoning before, but aapl was around 700, dow around 13600.
I agree. EUR is coling for a massive jump against dollar
A point of logistics . . . Germany has already said any sort of haircut on bonds owned by the EU is illegal. Not just undesirable. Illegal. The EU courts would probably say no. The German courts would certainly say no.
So the IMF says no without an EU haircut, and there can be no haircut.
A €40bn write-down would just put a dent into the problem. With Greek debt projected to be over €300bn by 2022 and GDP to be only €254bn under the most optimistic of assumptions, the country will need at least a €100 to get to a real sustainable debt.
I do not see this happening.
A figure that is hard to believe but true
The number of Irish vehicles regs. under current licence increased in dec31 2011 relative to dec 31 2010 !
Although motor cycles ,goods vehicles and public service vehicles declined with working vehicles such as tractors & dumpsters more or less static. (slight increase)
Private cars Y2010 : 1,872,715
Private cars Y2011 : 1,887,810
However a dramatic aging of the fleet is seen.
Private cars 4 years old and older : 75%
Private cars 6 years old & older : 56 %
Private cars 4 years old and older : 79 %
Private cars 6 year old and older :60 %
If we look at Y2007
Private cars 4 years and older : 65 %
Private cars 6 years and older : 50 %
Ireland is becoming a northerly Morocco
A land full of old Mercs.
The aging of goods vehicles is far more dramatic
Vehicles 4 years old and over : 57 %
6 years old and over : 40 %
Vehicles 4 years old and over : 73.4 %
Vehicles 6 years old and over : 50.5 %
Vehicles 4 years old and over : 82.3%
6 years old and over : 57.7 %
If a banking fiefdom ever needed a devaluation against other banking fiefdoms so as to direct money energy into productive work (building tram lines ?) it is Ireland.
Also diesel (all vehicles) regs have now gone past the 1 million mark for the first time.
1,022,729 or 42.17%
946,912 or 39.19 %
821,212 or 33.64 %
If devaluation is not a option the best capital control for Ireland is to ban the importation of private cars unless you are a GP , taxi driver etc who does something useful with his private car.
What did they increase the debt by via loans? Now a 20% haircut is a reduction.
Wealth will inevitably be destroyed in this process - this is just a contest to determine how much of the pain will be felt in your portfolio, and how much in your wallet.
Three cheers for critically dampened functions!

From the comic books by Bryan Lee O'Malley, this is the level-up movie that brought Scott Pilgrim onto the big screen. He's charming, he's jobless, he plays bass for garage band Sex Bob-omb – and he's just met the girl of his dreams. Now, her seven evil exes are coming to kill him. Scott Pilgrim vs the World is released on Blu-ray and two disc DVD on 27th December from Universal Pictures.
Edgar Wright is a genre-smashing creator as writer and director on 'Hot Fuzz', 'Shaun Of The Dead' and cult TV series 'Spaced'. In Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, he brings to life the tale of one romantic slacker's quest to power up with love – and the DVD release of the movie is absolutely packed with extras.
Due to time restaints, there may be limits on the number of items to be signed.

Wow, very cool Steel General!
This must have taken quite some time indeed. The style hits the nail on the head and the houses being located in regular rows is really fitting for a city like this. The bridges over the lava are my favorite I think

Oh, and don't you just love city maps?

Kickoff - California at Washington (Saturday, Dec. 5, 3:30 p.m.)
California (8-3, 5-3 Pac-10) travels to Husky Stadium to face Washington (4-7, 3-5 Pac-10) in the final 2009 regular-season game to be played by Pac-10 teams on Saturday, Dec. 5 (3:30 p.m. PT). The game will be televised live by CSN California and FSN Northwest. The Golden Bears are 19th in the latest Associated Press Top 25 Rankings and BCS Standings, as well as 22nd in the USA Today coaches' poll. With the only two other Pac-10 games remaining on the docket (Thursday, Dec. 3 - Oregon State at Oregon; Saturday, Dec. 5 - Arizona at UCLA) both scheduled to finish before the Bears and Huskies, the outcome of the contest is expected to have bowl ramifications for several teams. Five different bowls (Holiday, Sun, Emerald, Las Vegas, Poinsettia) are still a possibility for the Bears heading into this week's action. Cal will be playing in a bowl in 2009 for a school-record seventh straight season. This season's Pac-10 Bowl Arrangements and Cal's previous six straight bowl appearances, which includes four consecutive bowl wins, are listed below.

Cal heads into this Saturday's game at Washington with five victories in its last six games, including wins over ranked opponents in its last two outings - marking the first time the Golden Bears have accomplished the feat in consecutive weeks in 59 years since home wins over Washington and UCLA on Nov. 11 and 18, 1950. After falling to Oregon State at home on Nov. 14, the Bears rebounded with a hard-fought 24-16 victory over Arizona (then No. 17 BCS/No. 18 AP, No. 19 USA Today) in their final home game of the season. The Bears then knocked off Stanford (then No. 14 AP/No. 17 USA Today/No. 17 BCS) in the 112th Big Game by a 34-28 count before enjoying a bye last Saturday. Both Arizona and Stanford had three-game win streaks ended by the Bears. Cal needs a victory at Washington to become the first team in school history to post three different three-game win streaks in the same season.
Washington had dropped four in a row before ending the skid with a 30-0 victory at home in the Apple Cup against Washington State last Saturday. The Huskies also have Pac-10 home wins over USC and Arizona on their record this season and are 3-1 in 2009 conference games at Husky Stadium and 4-2 at home this year overall.
Cal-Washington Series Notes
Cal has won six of the last seven games played between the schools starting with Jeff Tedford's first year in Berkeley in 2002. The Golden Bears won three straight at Husky Stadium under Tedford before Washington garnered its only win over a Tedford-coached Cal team the last time the clubs played in Seattle on Nov. 17, 2007 (37-23). Last year, Cal responded with a dominating 48-7 home victory over the Huskies at Memorial Stadium to wrap up the regular-season campaign for both squads on Dec. 6, 2008. Jahvid Best rushed for a school-record 311 yards in the contest.
Prior to Tedford's arrival, Washington had won an astonishing 19 consecutive games against the Bears dating back to a 7-0 Cal win in Seattle on Nov. 6, 1976. Washington leads the all-time series, 46-38-4. For more information on Cal-Washington series history, see page 34 of this week's Cal football game notes.
Cal Moves to Season-Best No. 19 in Latest BCS Standings
Cal heads into the final game of the 2009 regular season with a season-best No. 19 spot in the latest BCS Standings released on Sunday, Nov. 29. The Golden Bears are also No. 19 in the latest AP Top 25 and No. 22 in the current USA Today poll. Below is a rankings chronology for the 2009 Golden Bears.

Bears Have Won Five of Last Six Overall
Cal heads into its final game of the 2009 regular season with five victories over its last six games with the only defeat a 31-14 loss to Rose Bowl contender Oregon State (now No. 13 AP/No. 16 BCS/No. 16 USA Today) at Memorial Stadium on Nov. 7. The Bears started the run with a 45-26 victory at UCLA Oct. 17 before returning home for a 49-17 win over Washington State and a Halloween road triumph at Arizona State (23-21). After losing to Oregon State on Nov. 7, Cal has responded with victories over Arizona in Berkeley (24-16) and Stanford on the road in the 112th Big Game (34-28).
Best Bears Road Squad Since 2004
Cal has posted a 4-1 record in its first five road games of 2009 and will have the best regular-season mark away from home since 2004 regardless of the outcome at Washington this Saturday. The Bears have won road contests this season at Minnesota (Sept. 19), UCLA (Oct. 17), Arizona State (Oct. 31) and Stanford (Nov. 21) with the only blemish a loss at Oregon (Sept. 26). The 2004 squad was 5-1 in true road contests, before dropping its Holiday Bowl game against Texas Tech. Prior to this season, Cal hadn't posted a winning road record since 2005, when the Bears were 3-2. Cal was 1-4 on the road last year and 2-4 in 2007. During one stretch spanning both seasons, the Bears lost eight of nine road contests. In his eight seasons at the helm of the Cal program, head coach Jeff Tedford is the only Golden Bear coach to post a winning road record (23-21) since Pappy Waldorf, who was 22-13-1 from 1947-56. Tedford's 23 road are the most ever for a Cal coach.
A Chance to Do Something Never Done Before
If Cal can win at Washington this Saturday, the 2009 team will accomplish a feat that no Cal team has done since the school's football program began in 1886 - winning at least three straight games on three different occasions during the same season. Cal started the season with a three-game winning streak, beginning with home victories over Maryland and Eastern Washington before a road win at Minnesota. The Bears then dropped back-to-back games at Oregon and vs. USC before winning three straight again at UCLA, vs. Washington State and at Arizona State. Since the Oregon State loss, Cal has won its last two against Arizona and at Stanford.
Tedford Ties Cal's Modern-Era Win Record in 100th Game
Cal head coach Jeff Tedford (67-33, .670) equaled Cal's modern-era win record in his 100th game on the sidelines for the Golden Bears in a 34-28 victory over Stanford in the Big Game played at Stanford Stadium on Nov. 21. Now in his eighth season, Tedford will pass the legendary Pappy Waldorf (67-32-4, 1947-56) for the most wins at Cal in the modern era with his next victory. He and Waldorf currently rank tied for third on the school's all-time win list behind Andy Smith (74, 1916-25) and James Schaeffer (73, 1909-15). Tedford is already one of only three head coaches in Cal history to coach 100 games along with Waldorf (103) and Stub Allison (102, 1935-44). Tedford is 7-1 in Big Games and has also led his teams to school records of six straight bowl games (5-1 record), four consecutive postseason victories and eight consecutive winning campaigns (ties school record).

Tedford and the Pac-10
Jeff Tedford has compiled a 41-26 (.612) mark against Pac-10 opponents after taking over a team in 2002 that had not had a winning season in conference play since 1991. Tedford's 2006 club shared the Pac-10 crown with USC and six of his first seven teams (2002-08) have placed at least fourth in the final league standings, with the 2004 squad taking second. His current squad is tied for fourth and still has an opportunity to finish as high as a tie for second and no lower than a tie for fifth. No other Cal coach has won at least 60 percent of his conference games since Pappy Waldorf was 40-21-4 (.646) from 1947-56.
Offensive Output Has Been the Key to Winning
Cal's fate has largely rested on the performance of its offense this season. In the team's eight wins Cal is averaging 40.1 points per outing, while the club is scoring only 6.7 points per contest in its three losses. Cal has scored at least 30 points six times this season and won each time, running its string of victories when the team scores at least 30 points to 28 in a row. The Bears' 408.5 yards per game of total offense marks the sixth time in the last seven years that Cal is averaging better than 400 yards per game of total offense. Cal has gone over 400 yards of total offensive in a game seven times in 2009 and been over 500 on three occasions.

Defensive Uprising
Although Cal's offense has largely been determined its fate in 2009, the team's defense has certainly risen to the occasion in the last two victories vs. Arizona and at Stanford. After giving up at least 400 yards of total offense in five of six previous games, including 436 in a 31-14 loss to Oregon State on Nov. 7, the defense limited Arizona and Stanford to an average of only 306.0 yards of total offense with the 267 allowed to the Wildcats the team's second-lowest total of the season. Both Stanford and Arizona entered their games against Cal No. 1 in the Pac-10 in total offense.
Rushing Game Returns in Wins over Arizona and Stanford
Cal's rushing game has averaged 210.0 yards per game in its last two games - victories over Arizona and at Stanford. In the previous two contests, Cal had been held to an average of 48.0 rushing yards per game, including a season-low 39 in a loss to Oregon State after a previous then season-low 57 yards in the prior game at Arizona State. The 2009 Bears are averaging 184.4 yards per game on the ground on the season in an attempt to become the first Cal team to average 200 or more rushing yards per game since the 2004 (256.8 ypg) and '05 (235.2) teams broke a 28-year drought by leading the conference in rushing (first time for Cal since 1958). Cal has posted 200 or more rushing yards five times in 2009 (vs. Maryland, vs. Eastern Washington, at UCLA, vs. Washington State, at Stanford) with a high of 342 against Eastern Washington and another 300-yard plus effort vs. Washington State (309). The Bears have averaged at least 150.0 yards per game on the ground every year since 2003 after not hitting the mark at all from 1993-2002. With 25 rushing touchdowns to date, Cal also has at least 20 rushing TDs for the seventh straight season.
Vereen Very Good in Best's Absence
TB Shane Vereen has rushed 352 yards and four touchdowns on 72 carries as a workhorse for the Golden Bears in the last two games following an injury to starting TB Jahvid Best Nov. 7 against Oregon State. Cal's other running backs have accounted for only four other rushes during the period. Vereen has set career highs for rushing in each of the last two contests. He rushed for 159 yards on 30 carries against Arizona, including a 61-yard touchdown run to close out the game's scoring with 1:21 remaining. He followed that performance with 193 yards and three touchdowns on 42 carries (tied for the most in a 2009 FBS contest) at Stanford to earn several national awards, including the Walter Camp Football Foundation BCS National Offensive Player of the Week. For the season, he has rushed for career highs of 738 yards and 10 touchdowns on a team-high 147 carries (5.0 ypr) to rank seventh in the Pac-10 in rushing yards per game (67.1). He also leads Cal in kick return (551, 23.0 ypr) and all-purpose yardage (1,498 total, 136.2 ypg - 738 rush, 199 receive, 10 punt return, 551 kick return), ranking sixth and seventh in the Pac-10, respectively. Vereen also came up big last year when Best missed the Arizona State contest (dislocated elbow), rushing for 93 yards and catching five passes for another 51 yards in a 24-14 Bear victory. For his career, the sophomore has 1,453 rushing yards on 289 carries (5.0 ypr, 60.5 ypg).
Cal's Fortunes Ride with Riley
QB Kevin Riley has recorded dramatically different statistics in the team's eight wins compared to three defeats. In the eight victories, Riley has completed 129-of-209 passes (61.7%) for 1,899 yards and 15 touchdowns with four interceptions for a passer efficiency rating of 157.90 and an average of 237.4 passing yards per game. In the three losses, Riley is 46-of-105 (43.8%) for 522 yards and one touchdown with two picks for a passer efficiency rating of 84.90 and a per-game average of 174.0 passing yards. Overall, Riley is fourth in the Pac-10 in pass efficiency (133.5), passing average (220.1 ypg) and passing touchdowns (16), as well as fifth in total offense (227.8 ypg) per game. Riley's current pass efficiency rating this season is the fourth-best figure in single-season mark in school history. He has completed 175-of-314 (55.7%) passes overall for a career-high 2,421 yards that are only 197 yards away from ranking among the school's Top 10 single-season best (Rich Campbell, 1979 - 2,618). His six interceptions are tied for the second fewest by a Cal passer with at least 200 attempts in Cal history.

Mohamed Pac-10 Tackles Leader, Tied for 5th in Picks
LB Mike Mohamed continues to lead the team and Pac-10 in tackles by wide margins, while also pacing the squad and moving up to a fifth-place tie in the conference in interceptions after his dramatic pick of a Andrew Luck pass at Cal's own 3-yard line that secured Cal's 34-28 victory over Stanford in the 112th Big Game the last time Cal played on Nov. 21. Mohamed has a career-high 100 tackles over Cal's first 11 games for a Pac-10-leading average of 9.1 stops per game (No. 31 NCAA). Mohamed has 40 more tackles than his nearest teammate (Mychal Kendricks, 60) and is averaging 0.9 per game more than Washington's Donald Butler in the race for the Pac-10 crown. Mohamed has led or co-led Cal in tackles in seven of the last eight contests. He has double-digit tackles five times this season, including a season-high-tying 12 on three occasions. He had his first two interceptions at Minnesota (both in the second half) and co-led the team with two picks before picking up his team-leading third with the dramatic grab at Stanford.
Jones Continues to Pace Team in Receiving
WR Marvin Jones continues to lead the team in receptions (32), receiving yards (500) and receiving touchdowns (6). The steady Jones has at least three receptions in eight of 11 games this year, including a career-high five for 65 yards vs. Arizona and another four receptions for 45 yards and a TD at Stanford.
Records in Reach
Cal single-season records within reach heading into the team's final regular season contest and a bowl game are listed below.
Record Number (Season) 2009 Fewest Interceptions 6 (1961) 6 Fewest Turnovers 18 (1964,'02,'04) 12 Kick Return Yardage Allowed 1,450 (2007) 1,225 Rushing Touchdowns 34 (1951) 25
Big-Play Bears
The Cal offense has posted 62 plays from the line of scrimmage of at least 20 yards in the first 11 games of 2009. The Bears have had 42 different passing plays go at least 20 yards to 11 different receivers (WR Marvin Jones - 10, TE Anthony Miller - 6, WR Jeremy Ross - 5, WR Verran Tucker - 5, TB Jahvid Best - 3, WR Nyan Boateng - 3, TB Shane Vereen - 3, TE Skylar Curran - 2, FB Brian Holley - 2, TE Jarrett Sparks - 1, WR Alex Lagemann - 1). On the ground, Best has accounted for 12 of the 20 runs for 20 or more yards, while Vereen has four, TB Covaughn DeBoskie-Johnson two, and TB Isi Sofele and Ross one apiece.
New Television Streak Started
Cal's string of 38 consecutive televised contests was broken on Oct. 24 when the Cal-Washington State game not televised, but the Bears have started a new streak with telecasts of their four most recent games and will extend the run to six by the end of the season with upcoming telecasts scheduled for a road game at Washington (Dec. 5, CSN California/FSN Northwest) and all bowls the Bears can possibly play in. Prior to this year's Washington State contest, the last time a Cal football game had not been telecast live was at Washington State on Oct. 14, 2006. Cal has had every game during a season televised only twice in school history, in 2007 and again in '08. A total of 86 games (including the upcoming broadcasts at Washington and in a bowl) have been televised over the last eight seasons.
Another Successful Home Season in the Books
Cal completed its six-game 2009 home schedule with a 4-2 record and an average attendance of 59,472 to continue an extremely successful and popular run at Memorial Stadium over the past six campaigns (2004-09). During this time period, Cal has posted an overall record of 31-6 (.838) in Berkeley and has actually put up a 33-6 mark (.846) dating back to the final two home contests of 2003. In fact, Cal is a perfect 33-0 at home over this period against teams other than Oregon State (0-4) and USC (0-3), who have combined to go 7-0 at Memorial Stadium since the Bears knocked off the Trojans at home in 2003. Cal has been unbeaten at home three times (2004, '06, '08) under head coach Jeff Tedford and has won 11 its last 13 games overall at Memorial Stadium. The Golden Bears' popularity is shown by a current streak of 37 games with at least 50,000-plus fans in attendance at Memorial Stadium (every contest over the last six seasons). Cal just missed averaging 60,000 or more fans per game for the fifth time in six years this season with its average crowd of 59,472 over its six dates of 2009. The Bears did attract a sellout of 71,799 vs. USC on Oct. 3, 2009. The team's best attendance numbers during the Tedford era came in 2006 when the Bears drew 450,223 fans and averaged a record 64,318 spectators per contest.
Last Regular-Season Game for 16 Golden Bears
A total of 16 players who suited up for their final home game at Memorial Stadium against Arizona on Nov. 14 and their final Big Game at Stanford on Nov. 21, are now preparing for their last regular-season game with the Golden Bears at Washington this Saturday, Dec. 5. The list includes LB Tyson Alualu, DL Kevin Bemoll, LB Devin Bishop, WR Nyan Boateng, OL Mark Boskovich, DB Jesse Brooks, TE Skylar Curran, DB Marcus Ezeff, FB Brian Holley, DB Brett Johnson, TE Tad Smith, OL Chet Teofilo, OL Mike Tepper, DB Syd'Quan Thompson, WR Verran Tucker and LB Eddie Young.
Four Sellouts So Far this Season
Cal has played four games in front of sold-out crowds this season at Minnesota (50,805), at Oregon (58,975), vs. USC (71,799) and at Stanford (50,510). Overall, Cal has drawn 628,096 fans to its first 11 games this season, averaging 57,099 spectators per contest (59,472 for six home dates; 54,253 for five road dates).
Bears Equal Consecutive Winning Seasons Streak
Cal has secured its eighth straight winning season in 2009 to tie the school mark that was established from 1918-25 under head coach Andy Smith. The Bears did record 10 straight winning seasons from 1907-16 but those were split between rugby (8, 1907-14) and football (2, 1915-16).
Being the Best, Beating the Best
The Bears are 15-8 when playing as a Top 10 team and 36-18 when the club is ranked in the Top 25 of at least one set of rankings since head coach Jeff Tedford took over in 2002. Cal has played 25 nationally ranked teams during the Tedford era and posted a 13-13 record in those contests, including a 2-1 mark in 2009 with victories over Arizona and at Stanford, and a loss vs. USC. The Bears have no games remaining on their 2009 regular-season schedule against a team currently ranked but could potentially play a ranked team in a bowl game.
Cal Leading Pac-10 in Turnover Margin, Tied for No. 15 NCAA
Winning the turnover battle has been emphasized since Jeff Tedford's arrival in 2002 and the Golden Bears are having another excellent season in 2009, leading the Pac-10 and ranking tied for No. 15 nationally with a +.73-per-game margin (20 takeaways, 12 turnovers). The Bears are 38-4 when committing fewer turnovers than opponents during the Tedford era, compared to 15-9 when tied and 14-20 when opponents win the battle. In Pac-10 games, the stats are even more decisive as Cal is 23-2 with a positive margin in turnovers, 10-6 when the turnover table is tied and 8-18 with a deficit. The Golden Bears are on track to set a school record for fewest turnovers in a full season with their current total of 12 still six shy of the school low of 18, which was set in 1964 and matched under Tedford teams in 2002 and '04. Cal is 5-1 when winning the turnover battle this year, 2-1 when it ties and 1-1 when it loses.
Cal's Fourth-Quarter Dominance
Cal has outscored its opponents 88-37 in the fourth quarter this season. The Bears did not allow a point in the final period until USC managed a touchdown in the fifth game of the campaign. Cal also outscored Minnesota, 14-0, in the fourth quarter - on two of Jahvid Best's five TDs against the Golden Gophers - as the Bears broke open a 21-21 game to win 35-21.
String of 1,000-Yard Rushers on the Line
Cal's string of seven straight seasons in which a running back has gained over 1,000 yards on the ground is on the line. TBs Jahvid Best and Shane Vereen are both within striking distance. Best has a current nine-game total of 867 rushing yards, but is currently out of action and his timetable to return uncertain after suffering an injury against Oregon State on Nov. 7. Vereen has a career-high 738 rushing yards but would need to average 131.0 yards per game over the final regular season contest and a bowl game to reach the mark. Cal is one of only three Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) schools to have current seven-year streaks, along with Missouri and New Mexico. Neither team has had a runner reach the mark yet this season. The Golden Bears are also only three from USC's record 10-year run of 1,000-yard rushers from 1972-81. TB Joe Igber started the current trend in 2002 when he became the first Cal player to rush for more than 1,000 yards in nine years.
Academic Prowess
Cal has had 74 players earn Pac-10 All-Academic honors in the first seven years under head coach Jeff Tedford, second-most in the conference during the span. Last year, C Alex Mack earned the Draddy Trophy (renamed the Campbell Trophy) honoring college football's top scholar-athlete. This season, OL Mark Boskovich and LB Mike Mohamed have earned CoSIDA/ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District 8 First-Team honors and are currently being considered for Academic All-America honors. DB Syd'Quan Thompson was named one of 22 national winners of the Academic Momentum Award as part of the Scholar-Baller Program, in conjunction with the National Consortium for Academics and Sports (NCAS). After a period on academic probation following his first year at Cal, his GPA improved to 2.995 during the spring of 2009.
Cal's State of Washington Connections
Cal defensive linemen Deandre Coleman (Seattle, Wash.) and Trevor Guyton (Woodinville, Wash.) list hometowns in the state of Washington.
Defensive coordinator Bob Gregory, who lists his hometown as Spokane, Wash. spent his high school playing days at Gonzaga Prep. Gregory received a Bachelor's in English from Washington State in 1987 and lettered three seasons as a safety for the Cougars (1984-86).
Offense Quick Notes
Cal has averaged at least 30.0 points per game in six of the last seven years and is currently averaging 31.0 points per game in its first 11 contests of 2009 to rank fourth in the Pac-10 and No. 31 nationally.
Cal has won 28 straight games in which the Bears have scored 30 or more points and has scored 30 or more points 55 times in the Jeff Tedford era, posting a 51-4 record in those contests.
Cal has posted at least 400 yards of total offense in seven of its first 11 games in 2009 and has been over 500 yards on three occasions. The Bears are averaging 408.5 yards per contest, which is up from 376.0 in 2008.
TB Jahvid Best's 93-yard run at UCLA was the longest of his career and the third-longest in school history, while the 61-yard pass play from QB Kevin Riley to WR Jeremy Ross in the third quarter vs. Washington State was the team's longest pass play of the season.
Cal has had three drives of 90-plus yards in 2009. Two of the drives came in the second quarter at UCLA with TB Jahvid Best scoring touchdowns to cap both drives. The Bears moved a season-best 94 yards on six plays with Best's career-long 51-yard touchdown reception from QB Kevin Riley finishing the drive. Two drives later, Best's 93-yard touchdown run was part of a two-play, 91-yard drive. Cal also went 92 yards on 11 plays on the opening drive of the second half at Stanford. The team's longest drive of the season in terms of number of plays also concluded with a Best touchdown when Cal moved the ball 81 yards on 15 plays over 7:33 in the second quarter vs. Oregon State, with Best leaping into the end zone on a seven-yard run. In terms of time, Cal held onto the ball for 7:35 on a 13-play, 72-yard drive that concluded with a 22-yard Giorgio Tavecchio field goal to put the Bears ahead late in the game against Arizona, 18-16.
Cal's final time of possession (39:06) at Stanford was its highest total in the Tedford era. During a stretch of six consecutive drives spanning the Golden Bears' final drive of the first quarter to their final drive of the third period, Cal posted 31 points and held the ball for at least 10 plays five times and at least 5:00 on three occasions.
Cal has scored a touchdown on its opening drive four times in 2009 (vs. Eastern Washington, at Minnesota, at UCLA, vs. Washington State) and picked up a field goal on its first drive of the game on another occasion (vs. Arizona).
Cal had a season-high 31 first downs (tied for the most in the Pac-10 this season) against Stanford.
Defense Quick Notes
After yielding at least 436 yards of total offense in five of its previous six games, Cal has allowed an average of only 309.5 in its last two contests vs. Arizona and at Stanford.
Cal has not recorded a sack in three of its last four games but still ranks fourth in the conference (2.36 per game).
Cal's defense has stiffened up near its own red zone in 2009, allowing just 16 touchdowns on 31 visits to the red zone by its opponents (52%).
Cal has held six opponents (Eastern Washington, at Minnesota, Washington State, at Arizona State, Oregon State, Arizona) to under 100 yards rushing with four of the efforts coming in the last five games.
Special Teams Quick Notes
WR/RET Jeremy Ross is averaging 22.2 yards per punt return on eight tries this season. Ross had a career-best 76-yard punt return for the first touchdown return of his career in the first quarter (he also brought the game's opening kickoff back a career-best 54 yards). Both returns were the longest by a Cal player in 2009 and he was rewarded by being selected a College Football Performance Awards Punt Returner Performer of the Week. In addition, he returned a punt 46 yards against Arizona.
Cal had a season-high 92 punt return yards against Washington State.
Simply The Best - Cal's Jahvid Best
TB Jahvid Best was in the midst of an award-winning season before sustaining a harrowing injury in a home game vs. Oregon State on Saturday, Nov. 7. The injury happened in the second quarter on a seven-yard touchdown run when Best leaped high into the air and landed hard in the end zone. He was attended to by medical personnel on the field before being transported to Highland General Hospital's emergency room. Best remained at the hospital overnight for observation and tests. CT scans and x-rays came back normal, and he was released the following day on Sunday, Nov. 8. Best has not played or practiced with the team since, missing the Arizona and Stanford games. No timetable for his return to the field has been established. Best has been on the sidelines for the team's last two games and served as an honorary team captain for the Arizona contest.
In the nine games Best has played in this season, he has a team-high 867 rushing yards on 141 carries for an average of 6.1 yards per attempt and 96.3 yards per game (No. 4 Pac-10, No. 30 NCAA). He also ranks third nationally and fourth in the Pac-10 in scoring with his 10.67 points per game average. His 16 touchdowns overall (12 rushing, 4 receiving) are within two TDs of the all-time single-season Cal record and within one of the school's modern-era mark. His 12 TDs on the ground are three shy of Cal's single-season record of 15 he equaled last year. Best did set a single-game school record with five rushing TDs, to go along with 131 yards on the ground on a career-high 26 carries at Minnesota on Sept. 19. Best is also among Pac-10 leaders in all-purpose running (No. 9) with an average of 122.00 yards per game (1098 total - 867 rush, 213 receive, 18 kick return) and total offense (No. 13, 96.33 ypg).

So I have registered for my booth at EQLA and in the nick of time as well, for in just three days registration had closed O.o. I was glad i did it and what a deal it was! You get a bigger table and two badges cheaper than getting the smaller table and two tickets to the convention. It was amazing, but I will be having a huge table now so I will have to draw a bunch of prints to get ready to sell there. Plus I will be making more merchandise as well, key chains, buttons, maybe even necklaces etc. Still trying to think of things to sell so any advice would be wonderful! Anything you would like to see me sell at my table? Feel free to drop it here!
Also never fret, I will be working on my commissions from Unicon and LasPegAssist soon. It has been stressful at work with crunch time coming up. We are preparing Moebius for GDC later this month so its been all hands on deck, and near the end of it I have caught a minor cold. Nothing major but it's a bit irritating, leaving me sniffing and blowing so much my head begins to feel fuzzy. But this weekend is not overtime for me so I can finally sit down and finish these commissions. I will be posting a progress soon of each commission so you all can keep track of the progress.
Well that's it for now! Hope to see you all at EQLA! It should be a blast!

I'm a very, VERY basic eater and I don't do veg (except for the mighty potato) and spices are usually out of the window too. Bonanza Pie is just a nice way to jumble what I like into one dish. Those who have tried it have all reported back positively.
Was frying some cheap sausages when they sort of crumbled into sausagey breadcrumbs. I fried some other stuff, veg, flavourings, two eggs, into it. It turned out REALLY nice!
This recipe was inspired by my visit to Morocco on vegetarian food in a tagine. I hope you enjoy this recipe.
Home from work with no time, no energy? This quick and tasty recipe is perfect and takes literally 5 minutes to prepare. You can use pre-cooked chicken from the supermarket, or leftover chicken from the previous night's dinner would be perfect.

Cucumbers Are A Must Have Food Item
by Renard Moreau
Cucumber (Cucumis sitivus) is one of the oldest cultivated vegetables on the planet. It is believed that its origins began in the northern plains of India.
The cucumber is related to the zucchini, the squash and the pumpkin.
This low calorie vegetable has a high water content (An average of ninety five percent); which makes it ideal for keeping our body hydrated and also in regulating our body's inner temperature.
Some of us have seen people wearing cucumber slices on their eyelids at home and in beauty-parlours; the reason being: it works quite well in reducing puffiness around the eyes.
Cucumber is also a high source of fiber.
It is effective in relieving heartburn and indigestion.
The magnesium and potassium that cucumber contains does its part in lowering one's blood pressure.
Cucumbers eaten regularly can assist in the prevention of kidney and bladder stones.
The nutritional content of cucumber comprises of: Silica, vitamin C, vitamin A, potassium, magnesium, manganese, folate, molybdenum, tryptophan and dietary fiber.

This is a review of the book Linked, by Hope Welsh, a paranormal romance / thriller.
I am always a little cautious about paranormal romances, probably because of the Twilight effect – namely, that after the success of Twilight the market was flooded with teen paranormal romance titles, often of dubious quality. As a result, anything with vampires, especially, usually has me running for the hills. On that note, Linked was a pleasant surprise, with not a vampire to be seen. Evil spirits and shapeshifters, yes, but not vampires.
The book is short, and this is both a curse and a blessing. A blessing because it's refreshing to have a well thought-out story expressed with so few superfluous words and scenes; a curse because I felt that some aspects of it should have been fleshed out more. The romance aspect, without giving too much away, felt a little rushed – while a connection like that in the short space of time in which the story takes place doesn't bother me in itself, I didn't really feel the relationship. Perhaps if more space was allocated to the feelings of the characters, their yearnings, confusion, maybe even fighting against the surprising strength of their attachment, it would have felt more convincing.
In addition, I would have liked more exposition about the evil spirit that is stalking the heroine, because that also felt underdone. Perhaps more elaboration on the spirit's history and why it took the prophecy so seriously might have helped. I quite liked the lack of information at the start because it felt more mysterious and made me want to read more, but by the end I still felt that spelling it out more would have been useful. As this is the first book in a series, though, it's likely that I just need to read more books to find out what I thought was missing. :)
That said, though, it was an entertaining read – easy, engrossing and well written. The story was well thought out and had enough suspense for me to keep turning the pages (or hitting the "next page" button on my kindle – but you know what I mean) to find out what happened next. The characters were solid and believable and the premise well thought out. If you are looking for a decent, quick read with a bit of suspense and paranormal themes, I can recommend this book wholeheartedly.

When Sony releases its PlayStation 4 console this year, it will have a strong, solid product in the marketplace that will bring Sony back to its dominating position as a video game company.
Earlier this week, I published an opinion article expressing my views on why I think Wii U will be a strong contender in the upcoming console hardware generation. But that was only part of the story.
If video gaming has taught us anything, there's always more than one winner. And so, I present you with a list of reasons why I think PlayStation 4 will be a dominate product in the upcoming gaming arms race.
Third Party Friendly
If Sony have committed to anything with PlayStation 4, it's that developing for the console will be simple. They've done this by using already popular development processes to create a console that just about anyone can pick up and whip out a game for with minimal effort.
Sure, the increase in processing power will undoubtably increase development costs, however since the barrier of entry when it comes to working with the system is far lower than PlayStation 3, developers will be free to create whatever game they like without having to worry about sticky taping hyper-realistic graphics over MacGyvered code.
What this means is that developers will have no excuse, there will be plenty of new and exciting experiences on PlayStation 4.
Indie Focused
PlayStation 4 is also about satisfying indie developers. Sure, the above point preludes this but Sony are taking lengths to ensure indie developers not only get their development kits, but can launch their games on the system with a full bevy of support.
I don't feel that indie games are the "be-all, end-all" of the video game industry; there is plenty of merit of having big budget blockbuster titles. However, indie developers are great because they are uninhibited by unrealistic release dates and marketing budgets. They can take five years to develop a game before they even talk about it publicly.
This generally tends to result in more creative, more inventive experiences but on a much smaller scale than big budget, published titles.
And this is why PlayStation 4 is innovative compared to other systems. Sony know there's raw power there ready to be wielded, but they're not forcing it down the throats of small time developers. More importantly, they are not penalising smaller developers by having a highly visible online store and enabling cross-platform buying.
Mainstream Media Support
Why bother spending millions of dollars in advertising if the mainstream gaming media are already behind your product and telling fans to buy it?
This is the advantage PlayStation 4 has over a console like Wii U. Sony have taken strides to achieve this, of course: editors only write content the readers want to read, and if Sony are showing very Western-audience friendly titles like Killzone: Shadow Fall, they're beefing up that demand for content.
There are plenty examples of how PlayStation 4 has gotten the bigger end of the stick in the mainstream media compared to Wii U. One that readily comes to mind was the general forgiveness handed to Sony for announcing PlayStation 4 without actually showing the console at the event. In contrast, Nintendo clearly showed the Wii U at their announcement event several times though the media chose to simply pretend it wasn't there.
Don't get me wrong, though. Despite my personal feelings about how the gaming media should conduct itself, generating more discussion on any video game console is a fantastic thing for the industry. The more we can debate issues and put video gaming out there as a credible use for our free time, the more people can invest in the industry and make it a better place.
PlayStation 4 does not have the uphill battle Wii U had when it comes to widespread acceptance. The console is already getting good reports and lots of media attention. When it launches, Sony wont have to worry too much about disaster control and can focus their efforts on communicating the true benefits of owning the console.
Conservative Choices
One of the best decisions Sony made with PlayStation 4 was to keep the console conservative.
Sure, we all want and even demand something new but we should face the fact that we don't really want to invest in something that's too different. We're happier to upgrade than we are taking a stab in the dark at a wondrous new technology.
PlayStation 4 is different enough so that everyone can understand it's new, but similar enough to ensure we're comfortable with purchasing the upgrade. The controller might have a touch panel on the front but it largely look like a PlayStation controller.
Assuming the actual PlayStation 4 console isn't in the shape of an hourglass, PlayStation 4 appears to be a console we can all envision owning and setting up next to our existing home theatre components.
This conservative design philosophy has moved into software, too. The User Interface of PlayStation 4, from what we've already seen, does not look vastly different to the PlayStation 3 yet it manages to make navigation appear even simpler.
The one thing humans love more than change is to have things stay exactly the same. PlayStation 4 achieves this conundrum with style and careful thought, and I think that sends a positive message to potential customers.
More than Just Games
Sony have made it clear they are trying to secure exclusive distribution of Ultra High Definition (UHD) content via their UHD television sets and they would be crazy to pass up the opportunity that PlayStation 4 offers in this space.
While UHD isn't a market at the moment PlayStation 4 will see another five to seven years of technology evolution and assuming its ready to meet the innovations of tomorrow, having that ability to distribute UHD content to all kinds of TV sets is a surefire win.
Of course, high definition movie streaming and high quality music servies will always be selling points for PlayStation 4. How Sony will continue to evolve their console over the next few years will really set it apart from the competition, if done correctly.
Sony's entire company is about leveraging good ideas and spreading them out to as many different products as they can. This will be the hallmark of PlayStation 4 and will cement it as a number one console in the upcoming hardware generation.
As you can see, like Wii U there are many positive reasons why PlayStation 4 will take top crown in the upcoming generation war.
Both consoles are top notch pieces of kit, each with their own sets of benefits and drawbacks. As mentioned earlier, I do believe there's enough room at the top for both consoles, especially when we're seeing this level of quality and dedication from the manufacturers.
But what do you think? Is PlayStation 4 going to win the console war? Or will it go the way of PlayStation 3 and sluggishly pursue the goal to the bitter end?

Triple Cola Soda
Now Rocket Fizz carried dozens and dozens of colas - many of which have caffeine on the label. However, like Coke and Pepsi, just because you have a little caffeine does not really mean you have enough energy to be reviewed as an energy drink. With the assurances that this was something special, I looked a little deeper into the information about Triple cola - and was very pleasantly surprised.
It seems Triple cola is not just another Olde Tyme Wannabe drink with the name dredged up to make it sound historical. Yes, this is not produced n Orca Beverages soda machines along with dozens of others, but for those of you who like cola - this is a definite Must Try.
Triple Cola got their look from their old packaging, back when this was made in the 20s and not the way it was advertised in the 60s or 70s. Triple cola has been around a very long time for not really having a whole lot of info about it - except it seems their big selling point used to be that it came in 16 ounce bottles rather than the standard 12, and used to do quite a lot of baseball merchandising in the early 80s. This new look definitely hearkens back to the early years - even using the terms Vim and Vigor. Like most Orca beverages, the bottle looks more novelty than anything - very plain and simple, with barely a listing of ingredients, let alone caffeine content.
For those who like cola taste, this one can not be missed. Yes, it tastes very sugary from the cane sugar used, but the thick earthy flavors come bursting out of this little bottle. This was a rich blend of earthy sharp flavors like ginger and maybe a hint of clove, along with an almost woodsy smell. While I dont want to get too high-handed in tasting Triple Cola, all thoughts that this was just a knock-off brand by Orca were immediately thrown out the window. While it might be a little overpowering for those people who just want their cola to taste like like the brown sugar water of Coke or Pepsi might not like their colas to have such flavor, I really appreciated all the work that went into this flavor.
Their slogan in the middle of the label tells me that I will be filled with Vim and Vigor, which actually turns out to be quite true! I sucked the 12 ounces down cold, and immediately felt a surge of energy rush through me. OK, I was on an empty stomach, but I could tell after years of reviews that there was definitely more caffeine that in your average cole in here. After a quick call to Orca, it seems that I was definitely right - and the salesperson at Rocket Fizz was on the money. This is the most caffeinated cola Orca makes, clocking in at a healthy 80mg of caffeine per bottle - More than my newest extra-caffeinated soda, Pepsi Max, but a full 11mg. It gave me enough energy to jog from my desk at work back to Rocket Fizz for another one to help me along - and that was as good as the first.

Bulletproofing your kids at school? Bulletproof backpack put to the test
Companies claim sales up since Sandy Hook shooting
BAKERSFIELD, Calif - The city of Taft is known for its small town feel.
"It's the smallest community ever and usually everyone likes everyone and gets along with everyone but things change," said Corey Ramos, a senior at Taft Union High School.
It was what happened on January 10, 2013 that changed the small community forever. Taft made national headlines after a student walked into a classroom, shot and seriously injured a student.
"It was bad there was blood everywhere, all over the floor," said Ramos.
Ramos was in the classroom when gunshots rang out. Now a year later, Ramos said she realizes how lucky she is to be alive after coming face to face with the shooter. Ramos said going back to class was the difficult part.
"Sometimes I'm still like, that person's looking pretty suspicious today," said Ramos.
A year before the Taft shooting was the deadly attack at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. Twenty children and six adults were killed at the school.
According to the Washington Post, a new analysis shows there have been at least 44 school shootings since the Newtown tragedy.
READ RELATED | School shootings continue despite safety emphasis
As a result, companies like Guard Dog Security say they've seen sales of bulletproof backpacks soar.
The backpacks range in price, we bought one for around $130 on Amazon but they go all the way up to $300.
A price Ramos's mother said she would pay to know her daughter feels safe.
"Corey going through what she went through, if she said that would make her feel a lot better I would definitely do it," said Danielle Overton.
Do these backpacks really protect your child? Or are these companies making money off of parents' fears?
Erin Briscoe with our sister television station 23ABC called the Bakersfield Police Department who made it clear it does not endorse the backpack, but was willing to help put it to the test.
The backpack was tested and certified to stop 357 magnum, 44 magnum, 9mm and .45 bullets, according to Guard Dog Security's website.
The backpack, with the Kevlar insert inside of it was placed on the ground against a drum.
Standing 35ft. away from the backpack Range Master James Ramos started with a Glock 17, 9mm. The bullet got stopped by the Kevlar insert.
Next, Ramos shot at the backpack with a 40 caliber handgun. Again, the Kevlar insert stopped the bullet.
Even though the backpack is not supposed to withstand the bullet from a semi-automatic rifle 23ABC wanted to see how it held up anyway. The result: the bullet went through the backpack and the Kevlar insert.
We took the Kevlar insert out of the backpack and replaced it with several thick books.
-The books stopped the 9mm bullet.
-The books stopped the 40 caliber handgun bullet.
-The books stopped the semi-automatic rifle bullet.
Marriage and family therapist Brock Caffee said he's concerned that the backpacks might create a false sense of security for some kids.
"Children may feel overly safe and in feeling so safe they may actually be at a higher level of danger," said Caffee.
So how should parents bring up the topic?
Caffee suggests doing it cautiously, "You're going to want to strike some kind of balance as a parent between raising a healthy level of caution and anxiety and not creating some additional trauma."
Let Erin know what you think of the backpacks: facebook.com/ErinBriscoe23ABC and follow her on Twitter here: twitter.com/Erin23abc .

Here you'll find answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about the Angel Tax Credit program. Scroll down the page to view all the questions, or select from the links below to view specific sets of questions.
No. Qualified investors may be the residents of any state or any country, because the tax credit is refundable. No Minnesota tax liability is needed to receive the tax credit, though a Minnesota tax return must be filed. Residents of other countries, who do not have a Social Security Number and who wish to use our online system for investor certification or annual reporting, need to contact us to obtain an Angel Identification Number before attempting to create an online account.
An irrevocable trust is a separate legal entity, which is not a natural person. A revocable trust, on the other hand, is not a separate entity from the grantor. Grantors may use revocable trust assets to fund their qualified investments. Tax credits will be issued to investors in their capacities as natural persons.
Investors who, of the business in which the investment is made, are an officer (a person elected or appointed by the board to manage the business); or a principal (a person having authority to act on behalf of the business); or a 20% or more owner, individually or combined with family members, of the voting securities of the business, or a family member (siblings, spouse, ancestors and lineal descendants) of any of these persons.
Generally, yes. The wage minimums do not apply to business' executives, officers, board members, or any employees who own, control, or hold power to vote 20 percent or more of the business' outstanding securities. Nor do they apply to employees of other businesses that make up the unitary group. Interns have a different wage minimum. They need to be paid at least 175 percent of the federal minimum wage, which is $12.69 per hour.
"Intern" means a student of an accredited institution of higher education, or a former student who has graduated in the past six months from an accredited institution of higher education, who is employed by a qualified small business in a nonpermanent position for a duration of nine months or less that provides training and experience in the primary business activity of the business.
Download Sample Resolution One or Sample Resolution Two to use as models.
A minority-owned business is one which is (a) at least 51 percent owned by one or more minority group members, or, in the case of any publicly-owned business, at least 51 percent of the stock of which is owned by one or more minority group members, and (b) whose management and daily business operations are controlled by one or more minority group members. Minority group members are United States citizens who are Asian, Black, Hispanic, Pacific Islander, or Native American.
A women-owned business is one which is (a) at least 51 percent owned by one or more women, or, in the case of any publicly-owned business, at least 51 percent of the stock of which is owned by one or more women, and (b) whose management and daily business operations are controlled by one or more women.
If convertible loans have a non-conditional, mandatory conversion requirement, they are considered equity. It is mandatory that such debt must convert, without condition, to equity within the three-year annual reporting requirement period for investors. In addition, due to a 2013 law change restricting liquidity events, convertible notes cannot convert to equity within 180 days of the investment in order for the investment to be eligible for the Angel Tax Credit. Businesses are encouraged to submit a proposed convertible note to DEED for review before the investment is made to ensure the note's clauses regarding these two provisions falls within the program's requirements.
A business' qualifications for certification are measured as of the date of application for certification. Certification is good for the calendar year in which it is granted. Investments made subsequent to certification have no bearing on the certification status already obtained for the calendar year. Such subsequent investments, however, do count toward the maximum if certification is sought in later calendar years.
Investors need to file a Minnesota Individual Income Tax Return (Form M1) and claim the credit on Schedule M1B, Business and Investment Credits. Investors who do not live in Minnesota may also need to file Schedule M1NR, Nonresidents/Part-Year Residents. Forms are available on the Minnesota Department of Revenue's website.
Foreign investors follow the same procedure outlined above. Those without a Social Security number or an individual taxpayer identification number may submit their return without such a number, or they may obtain a Minnesota identification number from the Minnesota Department of Revenue's Taxpayer Registration Office at (651) 282-5225. Foreign investors who have obtained a Minnesota identification number can, after filing, check on the status of their refund online.
The Angel Tax Credit Program emails Angel Tax Credit Certificates in mid-February for investments made the previous year. If you don't receive yours, first check your Junk mailbox and then contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Only the Minnesota Department of Revenue can provide this information. Check online or via their automated tax service line at 651-296-4444 or 1-800-657-3676.

Well I was doing tricep kick backs about 2.5 months ago when I felt a strange pulling sensation in my shoulder. I immediately stopped doing my exercises and realized that I had definately hurt my shoulder. Damn was I ever pissed off! It's been 2.5 painful months and I am unable to work out very much at all. I've been training EXTREMELY light, however, my shoulder still is upset after some workouts. I don't know what the hell I can do? I've taken about 3 weeks off with no weight training at all, but still its gotten a bit better, but is iritated easily.
Does anyone have any suggestions on creams, vitamins, supplements, etc... that will help heal the shoulder? Also, what kind of training regiment should I follow? Strictly cardio and abs for a month? I am desperate to fix this shoulder and build a solid INJURY free foundation when it is healed. I am sure many of you have been through shoulder injuries, and I would appreciate any help whatsoever. I am almost at the point where I will be asking my doctor for cortosone, or doing some other steroid to repair the damage!
