1300 North 27th Road
Ottawa, IL 61350
Buffalo Rock State Park
is located on a bluff which once was an island in the Illinois
River. Now standing majestically on the north bank, this promontory
affords a magnificent, sweeping view of the Illinois River.
Located approximately 3 miles west of Ottawa in LaSalle
County, this 298 acre park has long been a favorite picnic
area, as well as a nature lovers delight. The area of Buffalo
Rock was the home of the Illinois Indians when Louis Jolliet,
the French explorer, and the Jesuit missionary priest Father
Jacques Marquette made their trip up the Illinois River in
1673. Later the Illinois Tribe was virtually annihilated in
protracted warfare with the aggressive Iroquois.
Buffalo Rock is said to have
served the French as an early military, trading and missionary
post. LaSalle and Tonty, after building Fort St. Louis on
Starved Rock during the winter of 1882-1883, gathered almost
4,000 Indian warriors at the front of Buffalo Rock and formed
a confederation against the Iroquois. Among the tribes in
the confederation were the Miami who built their own fort
on Buffalo Rock.
In more recent history, Buffalo Rock was used by a religious sect for camp meetings, and later as a site
for a tuberculosis sanatorium. The Crane Company of Chicago
purchased Buffalo Rock in 1912 and for a period of about 16
years maintained a sanatorium for sick employees and a summer
vacation ground for thousands of employees and their families.
In 1927 the Crane Company moved their recreation park to a
larger area, donating the original site to the state to become a
park. The deed to the property was turned over to the State
of Illinois on November 15, 1928, with the provision that
it would become a permanent state park and that the caretaker,
Robert Barnett, who was then 72 years of age, be retained
in that capacity for the remainder of his lifetime as a
reward for his loyal services.
"Effigy Tumuli" in tribute to the Native
American burial grounds that inspired it, this unique "earth
art" depicts five sculptures native to the Illinois
River. The Effigy Tumuli was the vision of artist Michael
Heizer who created the sculptures of a snake, turtle, catfish,
frog and a water strider. To better appreciate and understand the sculptures,
it is best to look first from a distance and then walk around
on top of them.
The picnic areas that are shaded
by mature oak, hickory and walnut trees provide the perfect
setting for a family picnic or special outdoor occasion. Picnic
tables and cooking grills are provided. The site has two shelters with drinking water and
restroom facilities are located near both. The larger
of the two shelters has a large stone fireplace and
may be reserved. The smaller shelter is available on a first-come, first-serve
basis. A playground area is located by the large shelter and
a baseball diamond is near the center of the park.
A great game of horseshoes also can be enjoyed during your
Two American bison call Buffalo
Rock home. Their pen and grazing area is located across from
the baseball diamond and these magniciant native mammals can be seen daily.
The River Bluff Trail offers
a walk high above the Illinois River with two observation
decks providing spectacular views of the Illinois River. The Woodland
Trail provides an opportunity to examine and appreciate the trees, plants
and wildlife prospering in the park.
Canal State Trail Access
Across the road from Buffalo
Rock State park is the Illinois
& Michigan Canal State Trail Buffalo Rock Access area, providing parking for approximately seven vehicles.
Water and restroom facilities are not available at this site.
Three primitive camping areas exist along the trail between
Buffalo Rock and Utica for open camping. Each campsite has a fire ring but
no water or restroom facilities are available. Sites are accessible
by walk-in or bike-in only; no vehicular access is allowed. One
of the camping areas designed for youth camping has a shelter
with a fireplace. No campsites can be reserved.
From Ottawa:
From Rte. 6 turn south on W.D. Boyce Memorial Dr. Continue
on Boyce to Ottawa Ave. and turn right. Proceed on Ottawa
Ave., which becomes Dee Bennett Rd for approximately three
miles, the park is located on the left and the I&M Canal Access
area is on the right.
From Utica:
Take Dee Bennett Rd. east five miles to Buffalo Rock.

The College of Business and Technology, the BHSU Cross Country and Track Teams, and the BHSU American Marketing Association (student organization) are pleased to host Dick Beardsley--marathon champion, motivational speaker, and holder of the 5th fastest marathon time in American history. Dick will deliver a presentation, "Dick Beardsley: An Unlikely Story" on Wednesday, October 29, from 3:30-4:45 p.m. in Jonas 305 on the Black Hills State University campus. The presentation is free and open to the public.
A ticketed fundraiser event will be held from 5:30-7:30 p.m. on the 29th in the Jacket Legacy Room in the David B. Miller Yellow Jacket Student Union. The event will include a question-and-answer period and a silent auction. The cost is $25 per person and tickets may be purchased in advance by calling the College of Business and Technology at 642-6212 or Travis Covey, Assistant Track Coach, at 642-6041. Proceeds will go toward the College of Business and Technology and BHSU Cross Country and Track programs.
Dick Beardsley's life reads like a Greek tragedy with an upbeat ending. His running career began in a tiny farming community west of the Twin Cities. Dick ran his first marathon in 2:47:14 and in subsequent marathons he steadily lowered his times. His running success peaked at the Boston Marathon in 1982, with Dick's famous "Duel in the Sun" with Alberto Salazar. Later on, due to an injury and operations, he took a break from competitive marathoning to build his dairy farm and his fishing guide business.
Unfortunately, due to a traumatic accident, Dick spent considerable time recuperating while continuing to work on the farm and even to hobble through an occasional run. Due to additional operations, he suffered a litany of disasters. Fortunately, he persevered, but at a price. Dick's compelling journey will be told as he shares his "unlikely story" with his audience.
Quoting from a spokesperson for the Chicago Tri Club, "…Dick has a way of making me laugh and cry my eyes out all at once, all while inspiring me to immediately sign up for my next challenge! He has an amazing ability to reach each and every person in his audience - whether they've run 2 dozen marathons or haven't an athletic fiber in their body, each and every person walks out of his talk inspired to be great. His honesty and simple humanness makes him one of the greatest. I can't wait to hear him again."
For more information on Dick Beardsley's presentation and/or to purchase tickets to the fundraising event, please call the College of Business and Technology at 642-6212 or Travis Covey at 642-6041. Persons who need special accommodations for this event should call either number 24 hours prior to the event.

ATLANTA -- Although, Georgia unemployment rates are above the national average, thousands of seasonal jobs in retailing and more than 600 jobs at a regional call center in Kennesaw are brightening the picture.
HELP DESK | Find out how to get hired at Alorica
California-based Alorica is a national customer call center company with a major regional facility in Kennesaw. Alorica's clients are in many industries, including the telecommunications and floral delivery industries.
Alorica says they are adding more than 1,000 seasonal jobs this year. They said 300 of them are already filled, and they plan to fill the rest with a series of job fairs Saturday and all next week.
"Just the fact that there are job fairs available says a lot for the community trying to help everyone and there are still things popping up. You just have to look for it," says Brooke Merid, an Alorica job candidate.
"The job market is very tight right now and I've been looking for maybe two months and it gets kind of stressful," said Crystal Brown-Helem, another candidate.
The good news about a seasonal job is that it can turn permanent.
"It's a seasonal job but they also give the opportunity to have a permanent job with Verizon Wireless after the seasonal if you do everything you are supposed to do and keep up the good work," said Morgan Curtis, another candidate.
The most important thing is getting that head start.
"I got a shot and I think I got the job," Curtis said.
Alorica's job fair is being held at 2120 Barrett Park Drive in Kennesaw from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday.

Jetboil Sol Titanium Companion Cup
Melting snow
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Used on a week of back country Skiing/snow survival, I used it to melt snow but found out the hard way that you need some water in the cup to start with, the fins melted on the bottom of the cup and the alloy dripped onto the igniter, rendering the igniter unusable. So a trick to remember add some water to the cup first. Had used it the year before across Cradle Mountain to lake Sinclair, had my meals ready and eaten before other had even boiled water. Looks as though I have to purchase a new cup as I cannot find parts for the fins that melted
The inside of the pot
The bottom fins
It's a jet
This was my first Jetboil. It definitely does what it says it does, it boils water, and fast. It is pretty easy to use, although one does have to be careful of what they cook in it. Because this thing gets so hot, only water should be boiled inside it. If one decides to cook in it, then it needs to be something watery like soup, and be sure to stir it constantly.
My pot will kind of stick when trying to attach it to the base and I figured in time it would stop sticking so much, however, it still does. At this point, I don't think that this will get much better. So, I just have to be careful and use both hands when connecting/unconnecting the pot from the stove.
In my opinion, it is a bit heavy when compared to alcohol systems (which I am a huge fan of) but it is acceptable. I will only carry the pot, cozy, lid and stove and the total weight is 8.4 oz. I am looking to lighten up the lid with another one...
I will hesitantly give this stove 4 stars, but for me it is closer to 3. It loses one because the stove sticks to the cook pot and I would subtract another for weight, however, I understand that not everyone may be as concerned as I am, so I will not subtract this star.
Very happy with this stove
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've owned this stove for about a year or so and have not been disappointed. I only use it to boil water and never eat from it, in my mind to prolong the life of the stove. After about 25-30 days of rigorous use the starter still works flawlessly and there is no real signs of metal or plastic fatigue. The insulating outer wrap is genius. I can pick it up at a roaring boil and pour water for coffee/meals without burning my hands. The insulating outer wrap is the only piece on the stove which has become a bit ragged, but its easily replaced. It boils water so quick I can barely get my coffee organized in the morning before the water is done! Additionally, it's so small and light I take it on most long day hikes during the cool months of the year for a quick hit of coffee or soup.
The JetBoil Sol Ti at 14042 feet on the summit of Mount Langley brewing up my morning buzz.
Using the Sol Titanium
I purchased the companion cup with the sol aluminium set in order to give myself a choice of cup. This was not needed as the titanium is everything I could need. I am able to easily and very quickly heat water and food pouch in about 2 min whilst the weight is about as low as I can imangine it being. Whilst on an exercise the soldier beside me had the old style hexi box stove to do the same set of task as myself - I had eaten the meal, drunk a plunger coffee, cleaned up, packed up all before he started eating his meal.
Jetboil Sol Ti
Weight? Seems that a major selling point of titanium is weight - is that supposed to be listed on this page? Did I miss it?
To help others, I had to visit the manufacturer's site to find : "At just 6.3 ounces and delivering over 70% heating efficiency, Sol Titanium offers the ultimate lightweight cooking solution."
So, 6.3 oz.

As Jim Crutchfield has turned West Liberty into a Division II basketball power, fans have mostly kept their eyes on the basketball.
How could they not? Since Crutchfield took over, his teams have dropped the ball in the hoop an average of roughly 1.25 times per minute, despite a 35-second shot clock that's in place to speed up possessions but still could cripple a pace like that.
They do it by moving without the ball better than any team you'll see all season. And senior Alex Falk, in particular, does it better than anyone you'll see anywhere.
How else do these slick passes - one right after the other - become easy baskets? Because a nanosecond ago, that guy wasn't there. It's easy to guard a guy who is just standing around. It's virtually impossible to stay with someone like Falk, whose motor never stops.
He's not the only one who does it. They all do.
It's the same on defense. They're in your face all night, baseline to baseline, breath for fading breath, whether you have the ball or not. They don't just break your will, they make you question whether or not you want to play basketball anymore.
Despite appearing in 42 straight NABC Top 25 polls and having won 101 of their last 108 games, they don't beat anyone during the National Anthem. It's usually about the 10-minute mark of the first half when foes begin asking for their mothers.
''That's kind of the goal,'' Crutchfield said. ''We don't want anybody to relax, whether it's full-court or half-court. I think it takes a toll on people both physically and mentally.''
Pinstripe Bowl
Pardon the pun, but it's a New Era of West Virginia football. One Mountaineers fans might well get used to.
With every other Big 12 bowl tie-in outside of the Yankee Stadium Bowl or a BCS bowl being west of the Mississippi, and only one team east of it, it would stand to reason that every shot the Pinstripe Bowl has at the Mountaineers, it's going to take it.
That means all things being equal - and they don't get much more equal than they were in the Big 12 this season with five 7-5 teams -West Virginia might always be facing the fourth-place Big East team in a bowl game. That's assuming the Big East still exists in the coming years.
In other words, the Mountaineers got out of the Big East because the matchups were unwatchable and the payouts weren't what they are at other, more desirable places.
What a cruel and funny world, huh?
Huggins' Extension
With the Winter Meetings going on in baseball and college coaches moving from school to school, you're hearing that people want to sign players/coaches to make them part of their organization for ''life.''
Don't believe it.
Unless, of course, they're deeply rooted in the school where they continually talk about how important their program is to the state and its people, have set up a cancer research endowment fund to benefit people in that state in honor of their late mother, and recently signed an extension that will leave them employed at that organization/school until they're in their 70s.
Yes, I'm talking about West Virginia Men's basketball coach Bob Huggins.
Don't think he's one of the good guys in coaching? Name one other who publicly talks as much as he does about home state and alma mater, then backs everything he says with actions.

Atlanta, GA (Sports Network) - Rion Brown scored 22 points off the bench and Kenny Kadji posted a double-double as the Miami-Florida Hurricanes topped the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, 62-49, in the Atlantic Coast Conference opener for each team at McCamish Pavilion.
Kadji finished with 11 points and 14 rebounds for Miami (10-3, 1-0 ACC). Shane Larkin dished out six assists and collected three steals as well.
Mfon Udofia and Kammeon Holsey were the only player in double figures for Georgia Tech (10-3, 0-1) with 10 points each. The Yellow Jackets had a six- game winning streak snapped in the loss.
At the end of the first half Miami led 33-23 after shooting 42.9 percent from the field while holding Georgia Tech to just eight first half field goals.
The shooting woes continued for the Yellow Jackets in the second half as they connected on just 31.0 percent of their shots from the floor. The Hurricanes cooled slightly to 40.0 percent shooting but it was more than enough to secure the win.
Miami outscored Georgia tech 28-16 on points in the paint and had a 40-29 advantage in rebounds.

Kathy Stewart, wtop.com
WASHINGTON – Energy efficiency is the name of the game when it comes to cleaner cars.
At least, that's according to Tammy Darvish, vice president for Darcars Automotive Group.
"The great thing is with the technology today you can get great fuel economy in many, many vehicles whether they are a hybrid or not," she says.
Darvish points out, for example, that the Toyota Corolla gets up to 41 miles per gallon.
She says car makers are on board with producing greener vehicles, both hybrid and non-hybrid.
"But what's happening is that consumers are not moving as quick as the administration would like to see them move, I'm sure," says Darvish.
President Barack Obama is pushing for cleaner cars that get greater mileage, but the bottom line is that consumers will buy what they want, Darvish says – and the fact is that hybrids are on the pricey side.
"It's the technology of the vehicles that are far greater interest to consumers than hybrid technology," she says, referring to types of technology like parking assistance and navigation systems.
Darvish adds that as fuel prices rise, so will demand for hybrids. But right now, with fuel prices that are more stable, dealerships have a larger inventory of hybrids on hand than they are used to.

Corvallis, OR (Sports Network) - After its chance at a perfect season
dissipated last Saturday, Oregon refused to hang its head.
Especially against Oregon State in the Civil War.
The fifth-ranked Ducks ran for six touchdowns in their 48-24 thumping of the
Kenjon Barner registered 191 yards and two scores on 27 carries, while
D'Anthony Thomas added 114 yards on the ground and three touchdowns on 16
rushes for Oregon (11-1, 7-1 Pac-12), which can represent the North in the
conference title game if Stanford loses to UCLA later on Saturday.
Marcus Mariota recorded 85 yards and a score on eight carries and added 140
yards and a touchdown through the air on 17-of-24 efficiency in the win.
Storm Woods ran for 70 yards and a pair of scores on 16 attempts for the
Beavers (8-3, 6-3), who have dropped three of their last five contests since
beginning the year 6-0.
Oregon State, which had a Pac-12 low 14 turnovers coming into the game, gave
it away six times.
Sean Mannion tossed four interceptions in defeat.

His only defences against the environment are a red baseball cap -- which adds to the 44-year-old's boyishness -- and a surgical-style mask to keep the dust out of his lungs.He may be on Earth, but for Stanton the experience is as alien as if he had actually climbed into a rocket and blasted off. He never had to leave the comfy cubicles of Pixar Animation Studios to have a hand in writing and directing the Oscar-winning Finding Nemo or WALL-E -- or to spearhead the screenplays for Monsters, Inc., A Bug's Life or the first two Toy Story films. There were no sets to build, no locations to scout, no actors to position.But now, on a gusty afternoon in May 2010, on the set of his forthcoming $250 million (£160 million) Disney epic, John Carter, he's facing shooting delays due to unpredictable winds. The crew and the actors are stuck waiting. So it's only natural that he train a lens on his recent career move. "I couldn't have made a more difficult transition," he says matter-of-factly.Stanton's production-design team chose this spot to represent a barren stretch of the planet Barsoom -- which, as readers of Edgar Rice Burroughs's original John Carter pulp novels know, is what Martians call Mars. Barsoom may not be as well known as Tatooine or Pandora (which both owe a healthy debt to the planet), but for devotees, it's the Planet Zero of space fantasy. "I've been a fan of the books my whole life," Stanton says, "hoping to see somebody make a movie of them. If we do it right, hopefully it will kick off a series."That's if this instalment works out. John Carter is a huge Lord of the Rings-style mashup of CGI and live action, and at times like this, day 73 of a 100-odd-day shoot, it's also a logistical slog. The movie's leading man, Taylor Kitsch, has been on call nearly every day and will eventually be so exhausted that he catnaps between takes. And this is just the warm-up to another year and a half of CG animation and visual effects, which Stanton calls digital principal photography. Essentially he's making a live-action movie, then an equally involved animated movie after that. The trick is to marry them together. "I want that visceral feel I had when I watched the first 20 minutes of Star Wars," Stanton says.But Stanton has to cope with real-world conditions. Consider the scene where Carter talks with Tars Tarkas, a three-metre-tall Barsoomian leader played by Willem Dafoe -- or rather, Willem Dafoe on stilts and wearing a motion-capture getup. The stilts let the camera operators correctly frame the shot in which the CG Tarkas will eventually go, and it gives Kitsch the right spot to look at. Now the breezes have turned into gusts and the set is as compromised as Dafoe's balance: fusillades of grey sand fill the air. It stings so much it's impossible to work. Stanton decides to shut down until the weather abates. For most of an afternoon, the production hovers in standby. Stanton remains upbeat. He never retreats to a trailer. He rarely sits. When the wind finally dies down and shooting prep resumes, the crew scrambles to make up for lost time. The schedule gets back into reasonably good shape by the evening, and in the end the live-action shoot will come in exactly on schedule. For now, Stanton stands one day closer to his goal: adapting a book series that so many before him have failed to bring to the big screen. But is he doing it well? Can it meet the dauntingly high standards of his Pixar films? He's not sure he can answer. "I've always wondered," he says, "how the hell you make a live-action movie and have it be good?"

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall St.: Is Copycat Investing Smart?

Greetings, I'm Fritz from Austria, 23 years old and wet behind my ears.
After some years of doing nothing, I decided to do worldbuilding again. Once upon a time I drew a map of a continent. I lost most data, only the outline is still there, but I didn't take any projection and distortion into account, until I was stupid enough to decide that part of the continent is at the pole. When 'polar coordinates' in photoshop didn't work as I wished I went out to find a cartography tool that could do the job, and that's how I landed here. I found G.projector and ReprojectImage which should help me to get a general feel how it's going to work out, but I think I'll dig through all the different methods I found in the tutorials section.
In the end, I hope to find a way to create a 3D sphere with multiple linked/embedded vector files, similar to Google Earth, but I guess I have to look into really professional tools to do so - Cinema 4D will not do :(
For the time being, while looking through all the possibilities this site has to offer, I'll just start with a warm-up project of an island, probably with Photoshop.

AAR reports carload and intermodal volumes are mixed for week ending March 8
March 14, 2014
The Association of American Railroads (AAR) reported this week that carload and intermodal volumes were mixed for the week ending March 8.
Carloads—at 274,480—were down 1 percent annually and below the week ending March 1 at 287,294 and the week ending February 22 at 281,678.
Intermodal was up 3.7 percent compared to the same week last year at 244,015 containers and trailers and trailed the week ending March 1 at 257,710 and the week ending February 22 at 253,358.
Of the ten main commodity groups tracked by the AAR, five saw annual increases for the week ending March 8. Petroleum and petroleum products were up 11.3 percent and motor vehicles and parts were down 6.7 percent.
The AAR said that for the fourth quarter of 2013 Class I railroads moved 108,590 carloads of crude oil, with all of 2013 representing 407,642 crude oil carloads, representing a 74 percent increase compared to 2012. AAR officials said crude oil movements equate to 1.4 percent of all Class I volumes in 2013.
For the first ten weeks of 2014, carloads are down 0.4 percent at 2,270,522, and intermodal is up 1.4 percent at 2,421,107 trailers and containers.

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) -- Science major Samuel Adedeju struggles with the cost of textbooks. He pays hundreds just for his biology class.
"Around $250 and the lab book is almost $150. So, it's a lot," he says.
A used copy saves money, but an even cheaper option is growing in popularity.
More students would rather rent than own. A physics book would cost $150 to buy new.
It's 42.5 percent of the original price," says Samuel.
The rental is about $64. Barnes and Noble recently started their service at 25 college bookstores.
This is the perfect opportunity to save some upfront cash, use the book for the time they need it and return it after finals," says Barnes and Noble vice president Jade Roth.
Chegg.com ws one of the first to roll out the rent, and claims to have save students more than $145 million since 2007.
Amazon wants to play in the sandbox too, offering a trade in store for used textbooks. As, this trend takes shape, another one gains ground.
Campus Book Rentals
Book Renter
E-readers like new iPad and Kindle are creating a bigger market for digital textbooks.
Who knows, with the right discount, more students may opt to turn an electronic page.
Three out of four students still prefer paper. But, with many of them stuck with books they may never read again, the savings from a rented book can really make sense.

Joey King Teaches Us To Show No Fear In White House Down
Usually in movies you can threaten to endanger the lives of children or dogs, but never show either of them in anything close to resembling real peril.

If you're experiencing hair thinning and loss, you are certainly not alone. Not only is this a common issue in men, but about 30 million women in the United States also report the problem. You have no doubt heard of and seen many gimmicks on the market but why not put your trust in a brand that is proven to be effective? Rogaine has been available for more than 20 years and now you can benefit from this technology without a prescription. Rogaine hair growth has allowed many people to keep what they have and actually experience new hair after losing hope. There are Rogaine products for both men and women. The active ingredient is the same, minoxidil, but the women's formula has a lower concentration. Rogaine for men has the maximum concentration and in fact, 85% of men report hair regrowth after just a few months.
Rogaine hair care is FDA approved as a hair regrowth product, unlike many other offerings on the market. If you want thicker and fuller hair with less fallout, look to Rogaine for your needs. Hair loss may be a common problem but that doesn't mean that you have to be a part of the statistics.
There are many hair loss treatments on the market but Rogaine offers the only topical formula that is FDA-approved for the regrowth of hair. Dermatologists have recommended Rogaine for their patients for years. What began as a prescription only treatment has become the most popular over-the-counter hair loss product on the market. The active ingredient in Rogaine, minoxidil, stimulates shrinking hair follicles that become inactive usually due to genetics. Over time with regular use of Rogaine, hair thinning is slowed as well as prevented and in many cases, new growth occurs. Rogaine has demonstrated proven results for over 20 years and has participated in clinical trials involving over 20,000 people. No other hair loss product can stand up to the experience and scientific backing of Rogaine. The Rogaine system works best the earlier treatment is started so patients are urged not to wait when dealing with hair loss.
Minoxidil was originally tested for use as treatment for other conditions. During clinical trials, it was discovered that the chemical produced an unexpected side effect, hair growth and thickening of hair. Since this discovery, more tests have been performed to ensure the safety and effectiveness of minoxidil as a treatment for hair thinning and hair loss.
Unlike some brands that only address hair loss in men, Rogaine offers solutions for both men and women. Just as men suffer from hair thinning and loss, many women experience from this same problem and only in recent years did the personal care industry finally start to address this common concern. As is the case with men, the cause of the vast majority of hair loss cases in women is genetics. Rogaine can restore a woman's self confidence. Rogaine for Women can be easily added to any hair care regimen and won't interfere with hair styling.
Rogaine started out as a prescription only treatment with the launch of the 2% topical solution for men in 1988. Following its success, Rogaine for women was launched in 1992 with the same 2% topical solution. Both products were approved for over-the-counter sales in 1996. One year later, in 1997, Rogaine introduced its Extra Strength formula for men with a 5% minoxidil solution. Years later Rogaine Foam for men was introduced to the market. The 5% over-the-counter foam makes it easy for men to apply the treatment exactly where they need it.
Today Rogaine continues its quest to offer both men and women practical every day solutions for hair thinning and hair loss.

Norfolk Southern roaring back
July 28, 2010
More good news surfaced in the domestic rail sector yesterday as Norfolk Southern Corporation reported second-quarter 2010 net income earnings.
According to spokesmen, the company's earnings totaled $392 million, an increase of 59 percent, compared with $247 million for second-quarter 2009. Diluted earnings per share were $1.04, up 58 percent, compared with $0.66 per diluted share earned in the second quarter of 2009.
"Norfolk Southern delivered strong financial results in the second quarter, based on continuing operating leverage," said CEO Wick Moorman. "This is our fourth straight quarter of volume growth, and we are optimistic about continued year-over-year increases in rail traffic. We remain focused on reinforcing the safety and quality of our franchise, improving operational efficiency and service, and supporting future business growth."
Second-quarter railway operating revenues improved 31 percent to $2.4 billion, compared with the second quarter of 2009, primarily as the result of a 22 percent increase in traffic volume.
General merchandise revenues were $1.3 billion, 31 percent higher compared with second-quarter 2009 results. Coal revenues increased 36 percent to $696 million compared with the same period last year. Intermodal revenues were $451 million, 23 percent higher compared with the second quarter of 2009.
Railway operating expenses for the quarter were $1.7 billion, 22 percent higher compared with the same period of 2009, primarily due to higher compensation and benefits, and fuel expenses. Income from railway operations improved 57 percent to $733 million in the second quarter compared with the same period last year.
The railway operating ratio was 69.8, a second-quarter record, and an improvement of 5 percentage points compared with 74.8 percent during second-quarter 2009.

Why does Kamotz get the bye? lol I'm joking , but I'll try getting my match done.
Holy crap today is friday
Well, I have to admit that I won't be able to play much for the next... week or so.
Anyone ever heard of Carnaval? You know, that Brazillian thing with lots of debauchary, nudity, happyness and awesomeness?
A much more toned down version happens in Portugal too, and I'm kinda going to enjoy it. So, up till next... Tuesday? I'm going to be AWOL
Yay activity win!

Niedude v. Kamotz
palingensia v. the3rdhokage
Some bad news: Cockatrice has been issued a "Cease & Desist" order from Hasbro, and they've taken down their server.
Some good news: we can still play online. When you log on to Cockatrice, type in "play.woogerworks.com" into the "Host" section instead of "play.cockatrice.de"
EDIT: More bad news: play.woogerworks.com host is down too...
EDIT 2: Good news twist: play.woogerworks.com is up again.
Damnit, first Cadfight!Vanguard gets taken down from Byond, now MTG from Cockatrice?
Cmon man <.<
Byond is this program that allows for easy user created games. A lot of people used it as an emu for this other TCG game, Vanguard, up until its owner company made a similar Cease and Desist order.

I'm not sure if any of you have heard of the author Jonah Keri (@jonahkeri), but he asked this on twitter this afternoon:
"Crowdsourcing: Most UNDERRATED 1) college football stadium 2) college football tailgate ...you've ever attended? (ie not LSU, Michigan etc)"
I responded with Iowa State for the tailgate and he sent me an email asking for more details. Specifically his email said this:
"I've got more obscure ones on the list, but willing to consider Iowa St. Email me with more details, please?"
To make sure I didn't miss anything, I thought I'd come to you guys to help fill Jonah in.
I have no idea what he is going to do with this information. If he plans on soming to a tailgate or writing a book. Either way, could be a fun game.
For starters, all the parking around the stadium is a HUGE factor in quality ISU Tailgating.
The massive amount of area for tailgating and its close proximity to the stadium. Its basically tents, cars, busses, and people as far as the eye can see. It doesn't matter how bad the football team is and who we are playing, there are always packed tailgate lots. Huge concrete donor lots right next to the stadium and huge public grass lots right next to those.
When Prepared, Fear No One.
The huge, amount of relatively cheap parking around the stadium. (Send an arial shot of gameday if you can find it), and the fact that we manage to have this huge amount of tailgating despite an almost complete lack of actual winning.
The extended hours we have compared to a lot of other places that only start a couple hours before. Tailgating gets going for a lot of the lots at 7am, and at least several hours before in almost all of the rest.
Hot chicks baby
Not to mention some of the epic tailgating rigs you see. Old busses, trucks, RV's, ambulances, fire trucks, etc. Partner that with thousands of people, great food, wide variety of food selection, a lot of beer and alcohol, nice people who share with others, 100,000 people, all packed into 1 square mile and you have one of the best tailgating scenes in the midwest.

definitely include the picture and mention that it doesn't even show all of the parking/tailgating areas. I know of people who tailgate all the way over by forker.
I've never been to a place that has as centralized of tailgating as we do. It really makes it special....it seems like one giant party, as opposed to a bunch of various groups.
I don't know if such a statistic could exist, but I'd bet a lot of money that our tailgate quality to win ratio is amazing. Even further, our tailgate quality to high dollar donor ratio would be even better. We don't have as much to work with, but we make it great anyway.
The ability to go from parent, alumni lots for good food and tasty beer to the student lots with plenty of tailgating games, loud music and school spirit. Not to mention the women dressed up and excessive amounts of beer. Every school I have been to can't even come to close tailgating the proximity that ISU does it. I went to University of Wisconsin last year and even though they party hard - the tailgating is scattered and cops will give you a public intox for being even remotely close to the sidewalk. On top of that Wisconsin did not have party (tailgate buses), which I found to be really strange. The same thing with Nebraska - their tailgating is mostly just organized house parties, they have no lots.

Dr. Connell has previously worked with the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine with a secondary appointment in The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia's (CHOP) Center for Autism Research (CAR). Prior to his Penn appointment, he was an assistant professor at Temple University. While his research interests are varied, one main theme has emerged over the years: Identifying the variables that influence adult behavior change in community settings. To this end, he has researched and extensively studied models of community-based consultation and their relative effectiveness on program implementation. He continued this theme at Penn and CHOP with research projects focused on the widespread dissemination of evidence-based interventions in schools and community settings. Many autism support educational programs share core components in their curricular design while diverging on staff competency, training, and support. His goal is to add to the dissemination and implementation literature of efficacious programs for individuals diagnosed with autism by evaluating and reporting those core components and their relative effects on individual outcomes.

The Ingham County Sheriff's Office began an enforcement contest to increase Deputy efficiency and improve community relations, but some question the incentive program.
The contest gives points to deputies for various acts, such as one point for a traffic stop, two points for a bar check, three points for a researched arrest that is self-initiated.
The deputy with the most points at the end of March wins a rechargeable stinger flashlight.
Some motorists say deputies shouldn't be motivated by prizes to serve and protect.
County sheriff's officials say the program helps with positive reinforcement for deputies who do a superior job.

The map is marvellous GP. I think the new style works well and the colour scheme is rich and satisfying without going over the top. The plateau area above the lowlands and below the ridges seems to be flat. would that not have some settlements? I'm flattered to have town named after me and see it as a place where I can settle down in my twilight years. I just hope its a place where all the women are at once both smouldering and mysterious and all the men can both tie a knot and throw a punch.
Great work, as always.

TAKOMA PARK, Md. (WUSA9) -- Police have arrested and charged a female suspect who they say stabbed a man and hit a 7-month-pregnant woman with a broken tiki torch.
Katherlan Johnson, 46, has been arrested for first degree burglary, assault second degree, reckless endangerment, and malicious destruction of property less than $1,000, police said.
The male victim is currently undergoing surgery from his serious injuries. He is expected to survive, police said. The pregnant woman did not suffer any serious injuries.
Officials say the victims knew of Johnson and this was not a random act of violence.

The Content Café
One of the features of the San Mateo County Library catalog I really like is the Content Café. (With the accent on the "con" in Content, not the "tent". You might be quite content to sit down at a table with a cup of java and a good book, but this is about what you'll find in the table of contents, and beyond.)
Sometimes I've heard of a book, or I find it in the catalog when I want to explore something, but I'm not sure if I want to read it. That's when I go to the Content Café.
Just Click on the Title of the Book
A page with details comes up, you look to the upper right, next to the picture of the cover. Click on "Reviews and More." You'll get one or two summaries and up to four brief reviews, plus a larger cover image and table of contents.
For example, I just read a book I loved, The Island of the Colorblind: and, Cycad Island by Oliver W. Sacks. I realized I hadn't read all his books, so I turned to the catalog to see which ones I'd been neglecting all these years.
The one that jumped out at me was his Oaxaca Journal. One of the best things about Island of the Colorblind and the accompanying Cycad Island, which I originally checked out for the neurology and medical anthropology, was Sacks' enthusiasm for the natural world, and ferns and cycads in particular.
Finding Out More
Oaxaca Journal has a picture of a fern on the front. But when I went to the Content Café, I saw there would be much more, for apparently Sacks was as fascinated by the birds, the people, the foods and the archaeology of Oaxaca as he was by the 700 fern varieties there:
" He lovingly relays what the group's excellent guide imparted of Oaxaca's history, its indigenous, the Zapotecs, and their ancient culture; he rhapsodizes over ruins and the technological and intellectual powers they bespeak; and he admires the people, the many exotic foods, the vistas, and the age-old industries of the towns he visits--all of this while his fellow travelers mostly keep on ferning. He says he wants to go back. Take us along, Dr. Sacks--please!"

Sweet, herbal complexity with a silky milk chocolate flavor and texture.
These beans flourish on Java's west side, where abundant rainfall and cooler temperatures create a marked difference in climate from the island's eastern half, home to the more established coffee-growing estates.
To tend to their coffee trees, cultivated high upon a remote volcanic slope, smallholder farmers must travel by foot. Once harvested, the beans are diligently carried down the rugged terrain for processing. The resulting cup is a testament to the farmers hard work and dedication.
This special Starbucks Reserve® coffee is in very limited supply and only available at select stores.
Producer: Smallholder farmer groups in 6 different sub-districts to the north of Bandung, which is the capital West Java Province.
Elevation: 900 - 1700 meters, 2700 - 5100 feet
Processing Method: Semi-Washed
West Java, due to the volcanic mountains forming an East-West spine across the island, presents itself uniquely from East Java home to customer favorite Blue Java.
Grown on the West side of the island of Java this coffee exemplifies the pronounced geographical differences between the two sides, with more rainfall, higher humidity and generally cooler temperatures on the West side.
While coffee production in this area dates back to the Dutch colonial era (16th century onwards) the production of this semi-washed coffee really only commenced at the turn of the millennium.

So dear. What a tender moment.
..................... And yet, I remember the time one of our students brought a bird's nest to school for show and tell. She also brought it into the nurse's office to show her what she had found. Consequently the classroom and the nurse's office and most of the children had to be treated for teeny tiny bird lice.
I also got and honored the myth about no human touching a bird's nest. Grew up with that one.

May 24, 2016
Associated Press Release
Ocala,FL- A central Florida man has been charged with murder in the death of his 6-week old daughter.
Marion County Sheriff's Office officials said Jeremy Murray told them he was sleeping with his daughter when she began kicking. He said he got up to take her to her bassinet and accidentally tripped and the baby fell from his arms. The child had multiple skull fractures when she was brought to the hospital on January 30th.
The Ocala Star Banner reports the baby's grandmother came home from work and found the baby unresponsive on the floor and called 911.
The medical examiner reported the baby's injuries were not consistent with Murray's statement and also detected signs of possible past bruises.
Murray was also charged Friday with aggravated child abuse.

Ned Yost media session: May 26
Thata baby!
David DeJesus and wife Kim welcomed a 7 lb. 10 oz. baby boy into the world yesterday. Yost expects DeJesus to be at the game today, but isn't putting any pressure on the outfielder to return until the mother and baby are taken care of adequately. Yost understands how special this occasion is and said DeJesus is very excited. Yost even received a picture of the beautiful newborn laying on his father's chest last night.
Head over heels
Yuniesky Betancourt suffered a slight concussion in last night's game after colliding with Rangers catcher Matt Treanor in the fifth inning. Yost said that the dizziness is gone and Betancourt feels better today, but it will still be a day or two before he returns to action. Yost added that he experienced no hesitation replacing Betancourt at shortstop with Mike Aviles.
Movin' on up
Luke Hochevar will take the mound this afternoon, and Yost expects nothing less than a great pitching performance from the right-hander. The manager praised Hochevar for the way he pitched through tough situations instead of powering through them in his last outing. Yost hopes that the Royals pitching staff can raise their stats to the middle of the pack rather than dwell at the bottom.
