Piscataway, NJ (Sports Network) - Myles Mack scored 23 points and handed out
five assists as he helped guide the Rutgers Scarlet Knights to an 88-79 win
over the UAB Blazers in a non-conference battle at the RAC.
Mack, who also made five steals and pulled down four rebounds, converted 4-
of-5 shots behind the three-point line for the Scarlet Knights (7-2) as they
picked up their third win in a row. Eli Carter added 20 points, converting all
but one of his 13 free-throw attempts, and added six assists and three steals
of his own in order to offset his seven turnovers. Dane Miller contributed 10
points and a game-high seven boards.
The Blazers (5-6) were paced by Jordan Swing who accounted for 23 points and
six rebounds, but the forward missed eight of his 10 opportunities out on the
perimeter as the team bowed for the third time in the last four outings.
Preston Purifoy contributed 20 points off the bench prior to fouling out,
while Rod Rucker tacked on 14 points.
Rutgers took the lead right out of the gate and never looked back, shooting a
staggering 73.9 percent (17-of-23) from the floor through the first 20 minutes
of action. Add to that a 13-of-15 showing at the free-throw line and the
Knights found themselves ahead by a score of 50-33 at the break.
In the second half the hosts cooled to just 45.5 percent from the field, but
again shot well at the charity stripe (16-of-18) in order to secure the nine-
point victory.
The Scarlet Knights, who outscored UAB at the free-throw line by a 29-15
margin, made things interesting by turning the ball over 22 times on the day,
leading to 24 points for the Blazers.

|H1N1 vaccine now available to everyone
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
The Northeast Colorado Health Department has opened up the H1N1 vaccine to all northeast Colorado residents.
"We have received enough of the H1N1 vaccine that we are now opening it up to anyone that would like to receive one," said John Crosthwait, NCHD's district public health administrator. "There are still certain groups of people that are at a higher risk than others for developing severe illness from this virus and we encourage those individuals to seek out a vaccine now. However, considering the number of doses we have received and will continue to receive, as well as how much interest we have had from populations outside those groups, we are pleased that we can finally offer this to anyone that is concerned about getting the H1N1 virus."
Those groups of individuals that are at a higher risk for developing complications from the H1N1 flu or are recommended to receive a vaccination because of their occupation include:
—Pregnant women.
—People who live with or care for children younger than 6 months.
—Healthcare and emergency medical services personnel.
—All people from 6 months through 24 years of age.
—Adults and seniors with chronic health conditions.
NCHD will be holding two large H1N1 walk-in clinics this Saturday, Dec. 12 in Yuma County. These public clinics will be held in Yuma at the Quintech Building and in Wray at the Wray Rehabilitation and Activities Center. They will all run from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. or until vaccine runs out.
H1N1 vaccinations from NCHD are free of charge.
In order to speed up the process of a large walk-in clinic, residents are urged to visit the health department's web site, www.nchd.org, and print out the appropriate H1N1 consent forms listed on the front page. There are two forms listed in both English and Spanish, one for adults age 18 and over and one for children. A separate consent form must be filled out for each person receiving a vaccination. Those that print and fill out the forms prior to showing up at the clinic will move through the check-in process faster.
"Although there has been a decrease in influenza over the past few weeks, we are still seeing more illness and hospitalizations related to H1N1 than what we normally see with seasonal flu," said Crosthwait. "It takes 10 days to two weeks after you receive a vaccination to achieve protection from the virus, so now is a great time to receive it, rather than waiting until illness is spreading rapidly in our communities."
For those individuals that cannot attend the large walk-in clinics on Saturday and would like to make an appointment to receive their H1N1 vaccination at one of NCHD's regularly scheduled immunization clinics, contact one of the following offices: Logan, Phillips and Sedgwick counties call 522-3741; Morgan and Washington counties call (970) 867-4918; Yuma County call (970) 848-3811.
For more information about H1N1 clinics and other recent updates visit www.nchd.org.

points, making a perfect 14-of-14 at the foul line. Xavier Johnson
contributed a double-double with 14 boards and 10 points, Andre Roberson was
two-points shy of a double-double with a game-high 15 rebounds. Askia Booker
added 17 points as Colorado had a three-game win streak come to an end.
In the first half ASU made 12-of-21 from the field including three 3-pointers.
Colorado was held to 8-of-21 from the floor as Arizona State took a 27-24
advantage at the break.
In the second half Colorado shot a disappointing 8-of-27 from the floor and 2-
of-10 beyond the arc, but did convert all 12 chances at the free-throw line in
order to hold a late two-point lead. However, Xavier Johnson dunked the ball
with 2.5 seconds remaining in regulation to tie the game at 54-54 and send the
meeting into overtime.
Arizona State made 3-of-6 from the floor, including 1-of-2 beyond the arc in
the bonus period. Colorado hit on 4-of-9 from the floor in the extra session,
the most important conversion coming from Gordon with time running out.

It's my first time going to a game at KU and i was just wondering what lots were the best to be in for tailgating purposes?
There will be hundreds of Cyclone fans tailgating in Lot 90

Lot 90 is just off the road to the left in this picture. You can't miss it.
There are not many crowds or places in the country that have a better impact on the game than at Iowa State. The Cyclone fans are truly a sixth man. The place is so loud and always a fantastic crowd." - Former Kansas and current North Carolina head coach Roy Williams
I have suite tickets for this one, Will be in lot 90 to party with the cardinal and gold faithful, GO CLONES!
Sounds like lot 90 is the place to be. How long of a walk is it to the stadium from that lot?
That lot is a long way from the stadium. It is tough to find a wheat field around Lawrence. There is a lot of well cultivated weed however.
I wouldn't recommend Lot 90 unless you have a shuttle or other transportation to take you over to the game. It's probably at least a mile, and hilly. I bet you can get a spot on the Hill, just South of the stadium, that would serve your purposes a lot better.
Is the Hill pretty easy to get to? We are driving in from KC.
Eh 1 mile really isn't that bad. I normally walk over half a mile at Iowa State tailgates
(EDIT: See post below mine)
I think it'd be just as easy to park on the parking ramp at the Student Union, which is within a three iron of the stadium, and go walk over to the hill.
Here's a map of the area. The ramp is SE of the practice fields. The hill is South of the stadium (and North of the Campanile), but any of that land around the stadium (it's all a little hilly) would be a fine tailgating area for ISU fans. There's enough apathy among KU fans at this point that there should be plenty of room on the hill. And I doubt the parking lot and field event area that's East of the Stadium is completely full - although those may be reserved spots - if you want something a little flatter.
From that google map, you can search Lot 90 (it's the big lot East of the baseball field - I used to park there for BB games and law school). It's certainly not a lot I would have ever considered parking in for a football game, but I suppose you could do it. (There may actually be a free shuttle run by KU from there to the stadium but don't hold me to that.)
If anyone needs any more information about Lawrence, I lived there for 21 years, so let me know if I can help.

There are shuttles that go from the stadium to lot 90 so nobody has to worry about the long distance.

So I guess it is safe to assume the Cyclone Fanatic buses will be parking in lot 90.
They say country music speaks to the heart. Unfortunately, it has to go through your ears to get there.

I would think so. Official word on that is coming out tomorrow.
Going with a few others, and I think our plan was to hit up Mass Street around noon for lunch and drinks, and then kind of work our way over to the stadium. Lot 90 would be fun, and we know a few folks on the CF charter, but that's the complete opposite direction.
In 1984, I was hospitalized for approaching perfection.
I'm heading to the game also, but plans are wide open at this point.

We live in a world with an embarrassingly wonderful variety of choices when it comes to processors, monitors, video cards, and other components that make up the computers and devices we use every day. As a user, this variety is great because it encourages vendors to innovate and compete with one another, creating progressively more awesome hardware. As a programmer, this same variety is challenging because each vendor's components use their own proprietary programming models and interfaces. Writing applications that perform correctly and efficiently on all that hardware would be overwhelmingly difficult without industry standard APIs. For example, just about every graphics accelerator vendor has a different way to program their chips or talk to their accelerators, which is why just about every video card vendor implements OpenGL, an industry standard graphics API. This then allows software developers to write applications that use OpenGL to take advantage of the wide variety of graphic accelerators found on users' machines without having to write special code for each and every video card in the market.
Over the last ten years, hardware and software vendors have worked to figure out how to do for parallel programming and parallel processors what OpenGL did for graphics programming and graphics accelerator cards. CPU vendors now routinely introduce processors with multiple cores, hyperthreading, and other features that allow software to perform many operations at once. GPU vendors similarly design new chips designed to allow their massively parallel compute cores to perform general purpose programming tasks, in addition to the extreme graphics performance for which they were originally conceived. For a company like Adobe, whose applications need to squeeze every bit of performance and efficiency from every user's machine, writing programs that run well on each vendor's architecture and that take advantage of each vendor's innovations would be inordinately difficult without an open, vendor-neutral API for parallel programming that was designed to address the variety of processors in the market today and yet to come. Thus is was that, five years ago, Khronos, the same industry consortium that governs OpenGL, convened a new working group to standardize just such an API, the Open Computing Language more commonly known as OpenCL.
I have the honor and pleasure of being Adobe's voice and vote in the OpenCL working group. Because OpenCL, like its graphics cousin, OpenGL, is fundamentally implemented by hardware vendors, the OpenCL working group primarily consists of hardware companies. Consequently, I am often asked why Adobe is actively involved in creating an open standard for computing hardware. The answer is deceptively simple: a good, open standard for parallel computing helps us deliver better software, and merely hoping that OpenCL will be that standard without our input is wishful thinking.
We want to deliver software that is fun to use, runs fast, and consumes as little power as possible, something that is increasing more challenging in today's fragmented world. We write desktop software that runs on Mac OS and Windows, mobile software that runs on iOS, Android, and Windows 8, and server software that runs on Windows and Linux. Our software uses chips built by different vendors, including NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, and ARM. We also have more than a decade's worth of experience designing and developing parallel computing systems, Pixel Bender and Halide being two well known strategic investments Adobe made in this space. Through those experiences, we gained a hard-won perspective that we can be even more successful by joining forces with the community at large, that using an open standard makes our jobs a lot easier – writing great software that runs on different operating systems, form factors, and chip sets – and allows us to spend more time building software that runs quickly and efficiently on your computers and devices.
Returning to the original question, we know that open standards are good for the industry and enables us to most easily write great software that runs well on the widest variety of hardware. Even though Adobe does not build hardware and, therefore, does not implement OpenCL, we use OpenCL and we know what features we need, from OpenCL and from OpenCL hardware, to enable us to build even more compelling and efficient applications. So, we openly participate in the discussion to develop the standard, adding our experience, perspective, and vision for creating great software running on great hardware, with the goal of shaping and influencing OpenCL to evolve in a way that is advantageous to Adobe's customers. With our continued participation and influence, and with the cooperation and support of our vendor partners, Adobe has high hopes for the power of the computers and devices in your future, and for the capability, efficiency, and experience of the software you'll run on them.

Most people know that sunscreen is absolutely vital to protect the skin from sunburns, developing signs of aging prematurely and skin cancers caused by ultraviolet rays. When selecting sunscreens, most people look only at the SPF to compare brands, thinking the only thing that matters when picking a sun care product is its amount of protection. Unfortunately, some sunscreens contain preservatives, artificial fragrances and dyes that can irritate the skin, particularly in babies, children and those with sensitive complexions. The LaVanila Laboratories In Sun range was formulated to provide maximum protection against ultraviolet rays without exposing your skin to these chemical ingredients.
Featuring products that are clinically tested and approved by physicians, the LaVanila Laboratories In Sun collection contains natural and organic ingredients with no artificial chemicals. All of the items in the LaVanila Laboratories In Sun line protect your skin from both UVA and UVB rays to minimize the numerous risks associated with prolonged sun exposure. In addition, the selections in the LaVanila Laboratories In Sun range all contain vital nutrients to provide extra protection and heal sun damage.
Protect your skin from the sun's harmful rays and from harsh chemicals with the LaVanila Laboratories In Sun collection. This lineup of sunscreens and sunblocks is free of preservatives, additives, dyes and synthetic fragrances, but maximally effective at blocking and filtering ultraviolet light. The range includes products for adults and children alike.
The LaVanila The Healthy Sunscreen SPF 40 Face Cream uses an advanced blend of minerals to protect your complexion from both UVA and UVB rays every time you head outside. Perfect for use for outdoor activities or as an everyday sunscreen, the cream contains vitamin E and antioxidant-rich noni juice and green tea extract to protect the skin against oxidative and sun damage at the cellular level. Hyaluronic acid present in the formula boosts moisture levels in the skin, while aloe vera extract eliminates the redness that can develop while you are outdoors. The lightweight sunscreen is entirely natural and free of parabens and other chemical preservatives.
The LaVanila The Healthy Baby Block SPF 40 is so natural and effective that pediatricians recommend it for infants ages 6 months and up. As equally beneficial for older children and adults with heightened skin sensitivity, the sunblock contains zinc oxide and titanium dioxide for broad spectrum UV protection. Each application of the cream gives the skin 30 essential nutrients as well as a dose of calendula extract, which is well known for its ability to boost the healing of damage caused by the sun and other environmental stressors.

NSRA Northwest Street Rod NationalsWritten by Chris Shelton on October 1, 2013 Long Absent from the Northwest Market, the NSRA Struck Vancouver, Washington...and it may Have Left a Mark.
It seemed a bit odd that the Northwest was a one-horse town. It shouldn't be. Its tech and aerospace industries make it fairly wealthy. Its port activity and direct line to Southern California car culture gives it good style. And its mild weather and salt-free roads give it plenty of donor material. Easy access across the region, including the highly underserved Canadian market, gives promoters golden opportunity for gate-busting attendance
But for recent years the National Street Rod Association lacked a strong presence in the region. It hasn't maintained a solid Northwest following over recent years and according to a number of people we spoke to its attempts to reenter the market proved difficult.
So it was pretty understandable that the NSRA's bid to reestablish itself outside Vancouver, Washington, met a little bit of reservation. In fact, immediately prior to the event, NSRA's handlers probably started to second-guess themselves: as longtime residents joke, Northwest summers start on July 5 and the NSRA booked the Clark County venue for late June. The rain clouds lingering over the southern part of the state certainly had to give the organization pause. But as those same locals are also known to joke, you can't predict Northwest weather, a point proven by the transition from a deluge on Thursday to nearly unprecedented sunshine and 90-plus-degree temperatures for all three days of the event.
Sun certainly shone on the NSRA's coffers. If preregistration forecasts an event's success then the presence of four-digit vehicle numbers in the host hotel parking lot on Thursday had to spell relief. An informal survey among participants on Sunday suggests that the car count may have exceeded 1,400. Balanced against other, more established venues that may not sound impressive; however, that's no small feat for an inaugural event.
In fact, if these results are any indicator of future performance then this event may actually suffer growing pains. The fairground—while fairly diverse and offer a few really good zones, including one completely shadowed by trees—doesn't offer the vast car-accommodating expanses that some other venues boast. The hasty transformation of an auxiliary parking lot into a show area suggests that attendance exceeded NSRA's expectations. But these are champagne problems.
What stands is NSRA's respectable success in what amounts to a new market, a coupe that few organizations can pull off, regardless of size. If the fairground can accommodate it, there's great potential in the area if only because many central and coastal Oregonians can't justify driving the rest of the way up to the state. As for the Canadians, they'll drive pretty much anywhere, if only because of our cheap fuel and their endless enthusiasm. NSRA may just have a winner on its hands.
Though relatively isolated, the Pacific Northwest has a movement that gives at least Northern California's scene a run for its money. And as we all know that's a pretty competitive event market. By and large the feedback I heard about the show was positive, a real feat for a first-time event, and especially noteworthy given the inevitable shortcomings first-time events suffer. If this inaugural event is an indication of future results, the Pacific Northwest may no longer be the one-horse town it once was.

It runs a proven Fatman IFS, four-link rear suspension, and a big-journal 327 and TH350.The northwest has a ton of history. This chopped-and-channeled coupe has a Portland history as a rod to at least 1952. Steve Gilligan, who now owns the famed Orange Crate with his dad, has had the Chevy-powered machine for a number of years.I felt compelled to just jump into Butch and Jeda Holmberg's '54 Chevy five window. The 16-inch billet smoothies preserve the truck's work image but hint at the modern IFS chassis between them. It has simple cloth on the stock bench, climate control, and tons of very fine detail.Talk about love affairs. Steve and Sue Jensen have been with their '54 Crestliner since at least 1965. The interior is all white now and it sports a set of later smoothie wheels, but otherwise it's the same as it was in the yellowed snippet from a '60s car magazine, tube grille, gold paint, and all.
We think '60 Mercury grilles look great in everything, including '60 Mercs as Mark and Crystal McGill's fleet-footed hardtop proves. The Kelso native cannibalized a donated '73 Galaxie for its running gear (now 351/C6) shot it with righteous scallops, and had it trimmed in miles of white pleats.We've seen some ambitious swaps but Gerald McBee's chopped '65 Rivi takes the cake. He cut out the floors and swapped the body onto a '90s Cadillac chassis—a front-wheel-drive chassis at that! He calls it "The Imposter" but it's a real fabricating masterpiece. It also has a really nice fade spray.Phil and Sita Mitchell's '66 Chevelle testifies to the Northwest's healthy Pro Touring scene. They didn't even have to leave Puyallup to hire Chris Holstrom Concepts to rebuild their old street racer. It runs a 502 against a Tremec six-speed and wears Rushforth (another native) wheels.Orange paint could turn Bob Wade's '66 Mustang into Gas Ronda's old steed. Wade turned a coupe into this by grafting the top, stretching the nose 15 inches, and pushing the rear wheelwells forward 10 inches. He redid the chassis with a Mustang II and powered it with a blown 302. Believe it or not it's a real driver.Forget shoes and handbags; a girl's best accessory is a cool car. Ask Shelton, Washington's Paulette Edgbert. She sent her '41 Hollywood Graham to Ron Arant for TCI Engineering chassis work, a 330-horse crate/700-R4 swap, and off-white leather. The headlight grilles are reproductions of early Porsche 356 items.They call Tom Vogele editor of NSRA's StreetScene but we at STREET RODDER call him our old boss. He and Deb Wentz—our old managing editor—drove the '96 McMullen clone up for the occasion. Since he bought the car he gave it a well-deserved set of polished Americans and properly skinny front tires.Most Gassers stop just short of finished greatness. Not Carl Ables. His Battle Ground match basher fits the image right down to the cross-ram intake, eight-track player, and vintage Moon tank. He machined the wheel hubs to obscure their Rocket origins and blessed those with radial Hurst recaps.Criticized as car-like when new, the '67-72 Chevy pickups' lines redeem them now—stance and 18- and 20-inch rollers aside this remains externally stock. Paul Villwock proved they also make great drivers by bringing his out from Ennis, MT.
Although, '33 and '34 Ford phaetons were rare when new (8,350 made both years), even rarer is one so perfectly preserved and modified so well. Aberdeen's Pete Jugum dropped the Van Winkle body on a lightly modified chassis and left the '50s white-green leatherette interior intact.Long-box Jimmies usually don't inspire greatness but Don Brown's former farm truck is almost better because of that big grille and long bed. The Bahama Blue paint, Mitch Kim stripes, D-spoke Americans, and plentiful sidewall make the GMC timeless.The NSRA initiated one of the hobby's most thoughtful assets: a multi-point inspection program. By giving enthusiasts an incentive to do well (you can't win unless your car passes), the entire industry benefits. In light of the organization's long absence, the inspectors remained busy all weekend long.

REGIONALREPORT Western
Jobs hang in the balance in Asheville
Tim Lampkin is proud to promote a great place to hang out — or hang a hammock. "It's cool
to see friends from all over the country bragging about their ENOs on social media," says the Asheville Area Chamber of Commerce's director of retention and expansion services. ENOs are Eagles Nest Outfitters Inc.'s lightweight, packable hammocks. Though the Asheville-based company won't release sales, a spokeswoman for Valle Crucis-based Mast General Stores Inc. reports that ENOs are flying off the shelves of its eight stores. "Right now, through eight months of the fiscal year, we're already at last year's number," Sheri Moretz says. Like Lampkin says, that's great. But he and Ben Teague, executive director of Asheville-Buncombe County Economic Development Coalition, seek more support — in the form of jobs — than Eagles Nest Outfitters now offers.
Brothers Peter and Paul Pinholster started the company in 1999 in Florida and moved it to Virginia. In 2003, they relocated to Candler — eventually settling in a one-room storage center on the outskirts of Asheville — after a sales rep for another outdoor-recreation business raved about the region. As it prospered, the company traded up, eventually moving into an 18,000- square-foot warehouse and office near downtown Asheville. Though annual revenue is "considerably more" than $1 million, spokeswoman Natalie DeRatt says, the business employs only 20 people, up from the seven or eight on its payroll in the mid-2000s. That's because factories in Bali and China manufacture its hammocks. "Made in China is not so much our interest," Teague says.
The North Carolina mountains have become a magnet for outdoor-rec companies. But while Asheville-based French Broad Boatworks' $14,000 guideboat was a runner-up in Garden & Gun magazine's fourth annual Made in the South awards, many don't manufacture their products here and, therefore, don't employ many people. In 2011, the chamber launched Asheville 5x5, a plan that aims to create 5,000 jobs within five years in five specific industries. One is advanced manufacturing, and a sector within that is outdoor products. As an example of what the chamber wants, Teague points to Legacy Paddlesports LLC, which recently moved from Greensboro to a $4.5 million, 130,000-square-foot factory in Fletcher, where it employs more than 100 ("Back Paddle," July 2013).
BriefsASHEVILLE — President and CEO Shaw Canale resigned from Mountain BizWorks two weeks before the company's announcement that it will restructure, reducing its staff by about half to seven employees. The nonprofit will narrow its focus to lending and consulting for small businesses and will eliminate its popular business-planning classes, phasing them out by midyear.
MORGANTON — Jim Burnett will retire as president of Western Piedmont Community College July 31. An alumnus of the school, he joined its staff as coordinator of veterans affairs in 1973 and has been president since 2006.
ASHEVILLE — HomeTrust Bancshares Inc., holding company of HomeTrust Bank, named Dana L. Stonestreet CEO and chairman. He succeeds F. Edward Broadwell Jr., who retired. Stonestreet was co-chief executive officer and has been a member of the board since 2007.
ASHEVILLE — McKibbon Hotel Group and Tower Associates formed MHG-Tower LLC, which bought the downtown BB&T Building for an undisclosed amount. Its renovation plans include an upscale hotel.

I have 1 (yes, only 1) user account on our Zimbra system that keeps on getting a very generic Internal Server Error message when they try to log in via the Zimbra web interface.
I have eliminated the client machine / browser software as i am able to reproduce the results consistently on multiple platforms, etc.
We are running Zimbra v5.0.5 FOSS 64-bit edition.
We are able to retrieve mail for this faulty account via secure IMAP, which indicates that the mail store is still OK. The web interface access remains broken.
I have poked around in some log files but I cannot seem to find anything related to this issue. Specifically which log files should I be looking in to help troubleshoot this error?
Has anyone else ran into this issue in the past? Any insight is greatly appreciated!

The eye zone presents some of the greatest challenges in skin care. The skin in this area is particularly thin and delicate, offering the opportunities for very obvious signs of skin distress. Osmotics Cosmeceuticals Eye Products meets these challenges with a line of skin care treatments which work to counter-act the causes of puffiness, discoloration, wrinkles and lines. These visible signs of aging, environmental stress and skin imbalance are caused by changes in the structure of the skin. By working to repair and rejuvenate these structures, Osmotics Cosmeceuticals Eye Products can defy the processes that interfere with the natural, healthy and attractive appearance of our eye zone.
Skin structure changes as we age, so Osmotics Cosmeceuticals Eye Products act on the anatomy of skin, often at the cellular level. Expression lines and wrinkles, puffiness of the eyelids and the area below the eyes and, most challenging of all, dark circles under the eyes are all signs of imbalance in the skin's anatomy. With the use of botanical extracts, proteins, vitamins and collagen-enriching ingredients, Osmotics Cosmeceuticals Eye Products are able to counter these blemishes.
The skin around the eyes is thinner than elsewhere on the body, so this area tends to quickly show signs of hydration imbalance and aging. The carefully balanced ingredients in Osmotics Cosmeceuticals Eye Products are able to actively fight against the very causes of lines, wrinkles, crepey skin, puffiness and discoloration. This line of fine skin care products are specifically formulated for the problems of the eye area, to correct the underlying problems in skin tissue which result in these blemishes.
Since many problems with skin in the eye zone are caused by the thinness of the skin layers, Osmotics Blue Copper 5 Firming Eye Repair uses copper peptides to promote the synthesis of collagen, which also increases the skin elasticity. Combined with lecithin and the dipeptide carnosine, this soothing rich cream firms and tones the skin. Natural botanical proteins and sources of vitamins E, B5 and A nourish and regenerate the skin, allowing it to become smooth and healthy.
When dark circles and puffiness under the eyes are a concern, Osmotics Eye Surgery Undereye Rejuvenator brings several powerful ingredients to work. Chrysin, extracted from the blue passion flower, is an effective agent to control the darkening of skin below the eyes. Sodium hyaluronate, a natural moisturizer, also helps the skin to retain its elasticity.
To smooth wrinkles and improve tissue quality, Osmotics Renovage Cellular Eye Repair uses several botanical extracts to encourage hydration, plus teprenone, which increases the hydration barrier function. All of these work together to fill out lines and reduce wrinkles.

AUBURN, Wash. (August 17) – Pippa Bou Peep edged Seeking the Light in a driving finish Sunday as jockey Eliska Kubinova scored her first Emerald Downs stakes victory in the $50,000 Barbara Shinpoch Stakes for 2-year-old fillies.
Running 6 ½ furlongs in 1:17.23, Pippa Bou Peep prevailed by a head after a prolonged stretch drive with 4-to-5 betting favorite Seeking the Light. Pippa Bou Peep paid $6.60, $3 and $2.60.
"I had a perfect trip, Kubinova said. "This horse is really professional and she did everything I asked of her. I wasn't 100 percent sure I was going to get there, but once I got to next to the other horse, I was sure."
Seeking the Light, ridden by Leslie Mawing at 118 lbs, set a pressured pace of :22.22 for the quarter and :45.11 for the half, shook off Jazz Queen into the lane, and resisted gamely through the stretch to just miss. Seeking the Light paid $2.20 and $2.10.
Val de Saire, ridden by Gallyn Mitchell at 118 lbs, finished four lengths behind Seeking the Light and paid $4.40 to show.
A 25-year-old native of the Czech Republic, Kubinova has been one of the top riders the last three seasons at Emerald Downs, setting an apprentice record with 75 wins in 2012 and finishing third overall as a journeyman in 2013. She ranks third again this year with 46 wins, but had never won an Emerald Downs stakes race before Sunday.
Trained by Charles Essex and co-owned by Essex and David and Linda Olson, Pippa Bou Peep has improved steadily this season at Emerald Downs. Although winless before Sunday, she had finished second twice and third twice, including a runner-up finish to Ethan's Baby in the Angie C Stakes last month. Sunday's win, worth $27,225, increased her earnings to $45,357.
After just missing his ninth stakes win of the meet, Mawing said Seeking the Light is a work in progress.
"Blaine (Wright) told me to ride her like she's the best horse, get her into the race," Mawing said. "I felt she ran well. She still hasn't quite put it all together.
"It was bittersweet. I wanted to win the race, but also was happy for Eliska."
Sneaking a Kiss, Jazz Queen, Bella Colomba and Seattles Best Copy completed the order of finish.
NOTES: Chu and You, winner of the 2013 Barbara Shinpoch, scored a 9-1/2-length victory in the $18,900 allowance/optional claiming feature for 3-year-old fillies. With regular rider Juan Gutierrez up for trainer Robbie Baze and owners Mike and Amy Feuerborn, Chu and You ran 6 ½ furlongs in 1:15.25, and paid $4 to win. A Washington-bred by You and I, Chu and You is 5-for-10 lifetime with earnings of $118,279. . .Trainer Doris Harwood had two wins—No's 498 & 499 at Emerald Downs—and begins next week needing one win to become the fifth trainer in track history to win 500 races. Harwood ranks No. 1 in stakes wins with 64. . .Razor-sharp Dare Me Devil ($4.20) made it three straight wins, all at 6 ½ furlongs, with a last-to-first victory in a $32,000 claiming race for 3-year-olds and up. A 6-year-old Devil On Ice gelding trained by Rigoberto Velasquez and ridden by David G. Lopez, Dare Me Devil is 10-for-37 lifetime with earnings of $103,100. . .Lopez and Rocco Bowen each rode two winners Sunday. For Bowen, second in the standings with 56 wins, it was his 15th multiple win day of the meet. . .Rocco also has a big week in store with a mount aboard undefeated Stopshoppingdebbie in next Sunday's $65,000 Emerald Distaff at 1 1/8 miles. . .Stopshoppingdebbie tuned up for the Distaff with a scorching five-furlong drill in a bullet :57 1/5 Sunday for trainer Tom Wenzel. . .Also Sunday, Stryker Phd worked four furlongs in a bullet :46 for trainer Larry Ross in preparation for next Sunday's $200,000 Longacres Mile (G3). . .Other Mile hopefuls to work Sunday included Disruption, five furlongs in :58 2/5 for trainer Monique Snowden, and I Keep Saying, six furlongs in a bullet 1:11 3/5 for five-time Longacres Mile-winning trainer Jim Penney. . .Chicks Special Angel ($3.20) and Ambush Alley ($5.40) won qualifying heats for the $60,000 Bank of America Emerald Downs Championship Challenge on Sunday, August 31.

A Musical Milestone
Students, Co-Workers Rejoice in Jingle
April 28, 2013
It was 1980 when DeEtta White met Joyce Jingle. Jingle was "brand new," she recalls. "She was still jingling!" White, a teacher at Madison Elementary at the time, was supposed to mentor Jingle....
Everything written about her in this article is true of Mrs. Jingle. A wonderful, giving woman with many talents and gifts. She shares them all with her students generously. She has made a lasting impact on my child and my family and everyone she touches. We are very blessed to have her in our life and in our school system!

Goodguys Car Show - Doin' It In Des MoinesWritten by on October 4, 2007 Goodguys 16th Annual Heartland Nationals
According to Forbes magazine, Des Moines, Iowa, got their vote as fourth "Best Place for Business" in '07. That may be the case, but the capital city should be ranked first in having a good time! Having never been to Iowa, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I do know that Goodguys wouldn't be having one of their outstanding shows there if it were a bust.The event was held just east of downtown Des Moines at their fairgrounds, which turned out to be much more than a flat lot with space enough for anyone's favorite carnival rides. The grounds covered what has to be more than half a dozen city blocks and is also home to some neat old historic buildings that continued up the green hills to the east just below the campground. As Friday morning went on, cars, trucks, and hot rods filled all the available roads surrounding the hills, many of which had highly sought after shady spots that came in handy thanks to a bit of heat and humidity and the workout we all got from walking the show. And if walking across the show proved too much or you just needed a break, there were two sky lifts to help out.
This year there were more than 3,300 entries into the Goodguys Heartland Nationals show, and I believe it! I found it necessary to buy a new set of tennis shoes Friday night to help me get around all the vehicles while I hunted for the coolest classic trucks. Inside the more-than-spacious main building were plenty of vendors selling parts, tools, and even turnkey hot rods, which were interesting to look at while soaking up as much of the building's air conditioning as possible.
For information on next year's show as well as area info to make travel and lodging reservations-which should be done now-go to www.good-guys.com or pick up a copy of Goodguys Gazette at any of their nationwide shows. Enjoy!

Who likes red Chevy trucks? Yeah, we do too, and Ron and Mary Scott from Cedar Rapids, IA, brought theirs out to the fairgrounds for the weekend, where they got plenty of thumbs up with their '64 shortbed C-10.Being that I always have my Bumpside radar on, I didn't see too many '67-72 F-100s, but maybe Scott Cossolotto's '68 was nice enough to not need any more. Scott and his longbed made the trip from Cincinnati for the weekend and were smart enough to bring some shade that just so happened to match his truck!While hunting for some shade myself, I found Steve Gantz's sharp '72 Cheyenne Super C-10 tucked around the side of a building. The stock small-block-powered Chevy looked to be in all-original shape, which is rare for the area, since you often see rusted-out new cars on the road in the Midwest.It's a long drive from Australia, but this rare '38 Ford Ute made it over here somehow along with its owner, Alan Stewart. Next to the current Australian tags in the window was a participant sticker for the '07 Rod & Custom Americruise that happened the month prior, so the 347/C-4 Ford combo must have held together and is still sending Alan cruising around this beautiful country of ours.Jeff Schwierman from Sharpsville, IN, is cleaning up this year as far as awards go, and we couldn't help but throw another on top of the heap! Jeff's '53 F-100 is an '07 finalist for the Goodguys Truck of the Year-Late. Built at Gordon Riley's Rod Shop in Koko, IN, it is about as clean as they come, and to the delight of Blue Oval fans, there's a 351 and a C-6 between the much-massaged fenders. The burgundy and champagne PPG two-tone paint meld with the beautiful leather Paul Atkins interior. Nice work!Bob Greening decided he needed something else to do besides all his other projects, so he built this '48 Chevy Loadmaster cab-over. Bob scaled down the hulk of a truck somewhat at his place in Kasson, MN, and added another set of doors in suicide fashion, a seat between 'em, and built a pickup box for the now-crew cab. The '48 obtained its low-flying stance thanks to a full Air Ride system, and the beast is now motorvated by a 454 and Turbo 400 combo.Since '68 Alan and Julie Snyder have owned their '56 Chevy Cameo, which was bought new by a funeral home to haul flowers. Eight years ago they had Bright Built Hot Rods in Salina, KS, freshen up their old truck in resto-rod fashion by adding a Street & Performance drivetrain from a '00 Trans Am as well as a Vintage Air system to the stock-looking Chevy. The Snyders love driving their Cameo so much now and would never go back to the old stock six-cylinder.There were quite a few nice early-model pickups in Des Moines, but the way the Candy Apple Red paint on Jack Reiter's '32 Ford grabbed us, we knew he deserved a Finest Five! The chopped Deuce still had a Flathead in it, but an 8BA model dressed with Offy heads and tri-power sits nicely under the hood top. Chrome hairpins and a dropped axle add to the truck's traditional style as well as the whitewalls and exhaust dump tubes under the front fenders. Looks like fun, Jack!
Last but not least, we have Troy Wiens' '51 Chevy Suburban. Troy had recently bought the 'Burb and has been working on getting the bugs out of it, which included the trip to Des Moines from McPheron, KS. The '51 was restored and features many rare stock and early '50s aftermarket accessories, like the stainless fender trim, clamshell rear doors, original AM radio, optional bumper guard, Artillery wheels, and, of course, the Allstate window swamp cooler, just to name a few. As much fun as it is to see hot rod trucks, it's always refreshing to see a stocker. Congratulations, Troy!Rob and Martha Boardman along with Ron Kester brought their '54 Ford F-100, which we gave a Top Ten award to last year at the Lone Star Nationals. The Sapphire Blue Effie is powered by a "Mr. Mod Motor" himself Sean Hyland Motorsport Ford 4.6 DOHC motor that'll blind you if you're not careful!Big trucks were in abundance at this year's Goodguys show, and Lloyd Fulks from Lawrence, KS, was there to prove it with his '46 Chevy COE. The red hauler sports a visor, diamond-plate running boards, a tonneau cover, and chrome wheels.Low buck, high fun may have been what Gary Staples had in mind with his '50 GMC. The heavy patina on the outside actually hides a 383 stroker and the suspension mods necessary to get the Jimmy to sit nice and low on the Salt Flat Special wheels.The small swap meet was a place of interest-until you saw the prices! It seemed everything in Des Moines was for sale, including many of the show entrant's vehicles outside the swap meet, but for much more than even West Coast rates. This Cameo bed didn't budge all weekend, like most of the vendor's parts, which may just as well have been part of the show. Don't let all those cable TV shows go to your heads, now. Besides, with as hot as it was, my money was better spent on ice cream.Stepside C-10s have never been as popular as their Fleetside brothers, but after seeing Ernie and Jana Grace's '67 C-10, it might change some minds. The simple front end of the '67-68 Chevys looks to lend itself well to the often overlooked bed style; the polished American Racing wheels don't hurt, either.Almost as if they just flew in from some far-off place and did a touch-and-go in the parking lot, this unique pair of a '40 Ford COE roll-back that carried a '34 Ford five-window coupe hot rod with a blown Ardun Flathead in it didn't stay long enough for us to find out who they were or where they were from. Quite a sight, though! With over 3,300 entrants in the show, you might not see every one of them parked throughout the fairgrounds.Did we mention hot rods? This pair made quite a splash and stopped plenty of onlookers in their tracks. Scott Jorpeland from Marshalltown, IA, owns the hot '59 Chevy Apache that received much of the same hot rod touches as the Buick-powered Model A in the foreground, such as the polished Torq-Thrust Ds, molded visors, scoops, chrome grilles, and, of course, the flame job.
Sitting pretty-low, that is-all weekend was this '56 Chevy piloted by Tom Brogen from Blue Springs, MO. The small-window Chevy was seemingly resting on its rockers and had all its emblems and most extraneous pieces removed.

|Wauneta area's 2013 precipitation total beats prior year by almost nine inches
|Written by Wauneta Breeze
|Wednesday, 08 January 2014 20:42
By Sheri Hink-Wagner
The Wauneta Breeze
The need for moisture is never far from mind in our area, which is so dependent on agriculture. As Breeze news staff compiled the moisture and temperature highs and lows for 2013 a couple things stood out:
First, although the area seemed "dry" throughout 2013, we actually enjoyed above-average moisture.
Second, the temperatures seen in 2013 were not as extreme as those seen in 2012.
Despite its many challenges, 2013 was an above-average year for moisture for the Wauneta area with a total of 26.15 inches–8.86 inches more than in 2012.
Last year was not so lucky for the Wauneta area, which saw only 17.29 inches of precipitation in 2012. It was quite a shock to area producers and gardeners alike, who were growing accustomed to the previous six years of above-average precipitation amounts.
The year's moisture total was by no means a new record for Wauneta. The community saw its highest annual moisture count in 1905 with 31.64 inches. The record low for precipitation in Wauneta was 8.42 inches in 2002.
Prior to 2002, the lowest year on record was 1898 with 8.94 inches, according to the High Plains Regional Climate Center.
Looking back at data gathered by High Plains Regional Climate Center, National Weather Service, Bronco Weather and Wauneta Weather Reporters over the past 116 years (from 1898 to 2013) the average annual moisture for Wauneta is 18.86 inches, making this year's total 7.29 inches higher than average.
Despite the above-average moisture seen in the Wauneta area during 2013, the area was recorded as being in a severe to extreme drought most of the year by the U.S. Drought Monitor.
Looking back at the moisture totals for each month in 2013, May was the wettest month with 6.22 inches of precipitation.
Unlike prior years, the community received some amount of moisture in each month of the year. The lowest precipitation amount was seen in January with a mere 0.17 inches.
No measurable amounts of moisture were recorded in January, September, or November of 2012.
In 2012 Wauneta saw 28 days of heat in excess of 100 degrees, whereas in 2013 there were only 12 days at or over 100 degrees.
The hottest day of the year came on Sept. 7 with a 105 degree temperature. Although hot, this was a bit of a break from the temperature high experienced in 2012, when the thermometer hit 111 degrees on June 27, the hottest day of 2012.
The month with the most days at or over 100 degrees was August, with five days of soaring temperatures.
On the other side of the spectrum, the area had seven days with lows at or under zero degrees in 2012 and 10 days in 2013. The coldest day of the year was just one month ago, on Dec. 9 with a negative 10 degrees.
December had a total of five days at or below zero degrees. The second coldest month of 2013 was January with four days at or below zero.

(Sports Network) - The Oklahoma City Thunder will try to put a tough two-game
losing streak behind them Thursday night when they host the Dallas Mavericks
at Chesapeake Energy Arena.
The Thunder lost in Minnesota one week ago and fell in last season's NBA
Finals rematch to the Miami Heat in the main attraction of the league's
Christmas lineup. It marked the first time this season the Thunder have lost
two in a row.
All is certainly not lost for the Thunder. They have won 10 straight at home
and a victory Thursday, in a rematch of last season's round one sweep by the
eventual Western Conference champion Thunder, would match them with the Los
Angeles Clippers for the best record in the NBA.
On Tuesday, the Thunder overcame a 12-point first-quarter deficit to inch
ahead by four in the second half. The Heat battled back for the lead, but
Oklahoma City had chances late. The Thunder trimmed the margin to a single
point in the last minute of the game, but Miami made its free throws and last-
second efforts by Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook didn't fall.
"Our guys are competitors," head coach Scott Brooks said. "I'm proud of how
they compete and they never let up. Never. I've never been disappointed in
this team with how they compete. They came back and fought when things weren't
going well for us and gave ourselves a chance to tie the game up."
Durant led the way with 33 points, followed by 21 and 11 rebounds from
Westbrook. Serge Ibaka and Kevin Martin both had 15 apiece.
The Mavericks are losers of three straight, but there is something to be
positive about. Dirk Nowitzki made his season debut on Sunday in a 129-91 loss
to the San Antonio Spurs. Nowitzki had eight points and six rebounds in just
over 20 minutes.
Since that drubbing at the hands of their fellow Texans was the last outing
for the Mavs, they've had plenty of practice time to reintegrate the future
Hall of Famer.
"Having (Nowitzki) back on the court is a challenge I've looked forward to,"
admitted coach Rick Carlisle. "You know, I don't see that as being a big
adjustment. The caliber of competition has raised, which has made it more
difficult for all of us. I don't think that this is a day to make this about
one guy's struggles. We win and lose as a team, and that's where our
collective mindset has got to be at."
Against the Spurs, the Mavericks didn't do much well. They allowed San Antonio
to shoot 56 percent from the field and 66.7 percent from long distance. Dallas
committed 20 turnovers, shot 46 percent from the floor and just under 36
percent from the 3-point line.
The Thunder come into Thursday night's game as the NBA's leading scoring team.
The Mavericks rank 27th in opponents' scoring, but are the 10th-best scoring
In the regular-season, the Thunder have won four of their last five against
the Mavericks. Oklahoma City is 14-2 this season at home, while Dallas is 4-12
outside Big D.

Is Justine Henin just taking a long-deserved break and not a permanent retirement as was reported? Quite possibly.
The Independent is reporting that the former world no. 1 had been dealing with serious personal issues recently, including the death of her sister Sarah's premature new born boy and a failed romance with a South African doctor that began last winter and ended only weeks ago. In fact, she almost withdrew from the epic final of last season's WTA Championships against Maria Sharapova but was urged to win it for her sister and her son.
Those amongst her inner circle are speculating the door is not completely closed on a return to tennis. Her brother Thomas, who she was hitting with recently, said,
Maybe, I don't know. In six months to a year, if she hasn't found happiness in real life, it is possible. We don't know about the future.Her father Jose with whom she was estranged also raised questions about her motives saying about her recent relationship,
That's over, and Justine felt that men don't want her for the person she is but because she is the worldNo 1. She believes she will have a much bigger chance of meeting a good man and then having children in the future if she is not playing tennis any more.But he also believes she's left the door open for a return:
It might be possible to see her come back one day, just a chance. When Kim Clijsters quit she stopped completely. Justine is already playing again, so who knows?As intensely private as Justine has been historically, I wouldn't be surprised if she called it a 'retirement' in order to keep the media hawks out of her business...even for just a little while. Nothing is ever what it seems with her.

Requirements for EMT License in Wisconsin
To become an emergency medical technician (EMT) in Wisconsin one must possess a high school diploma or equivalent degree, hold current CPR certification, complete an approved educational program and pass the National and/or state certification exam. The National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) keeps a current list of all licensed EMTs in each state. After passing the required Wisconsin state exam the individual can apply for inclusion on the NREMT and the Wisconsin state EMT Registry. Most states require EMTs to renew their license every two years, which might require a short re-certification course.
Different Types of EMT Certifications
EMTs who complete a basic level training course might face more limited job opportunities than those who completed an intermediate level course or paramedic program. As in many professional fields, employers are opting to hire those with the highest qualifications, greatest level of education and most experience. To be highly competitive in the EMT job market in Wisconsin it is best to obtain an intermediate EMT certification. Note that the state license exam will be the same for basic level and intermediate level EMTs; the only difference is in the training program.

Kevin Phillips has signed a one year contract with Crystal Palace.
The UEFA have ended the anti-doping ban levied on Mamadou Sakho back in March, and the French international defender is eligible to play again for club and country.
Roy Hodgson confirms Daniel Sturridge is suffering from a "minor [calf] injury" which is not expected to affect his chances of appearing at this summers' European Championships.
The Marcus Rashford fairy tale continued on Friday with the Manchester United youth product starting and scoring for England against Australia in a Euro tune-up.
The inevitable has finally become reality as Manchester United have named Jose Mourinho manager on a three year deal.
Despite rumors linking him with Real Madrid, Chelsea keeper Thibaut Courtois said he expects to be at Chelsea next season.
Wales are taking no risks with Joe Allen and will handle the 26-year-old in kid gloves throughout the build up to Euro 2016 as the Liverpool midfielder recovers from a minor injury.
Roy Hodgson insists the fitness of Gary Cahill is not an issue despite the Chelsea defender struggling due to an ongoing hip problem.
Reports in the Guardian indicate that Jose Mourinho would like to recruit Willian to Manchester United and that the player is very much interested.
Sadio Mane has been linked around the Premier League already this summer and now Liverpool are added to the list after Mario Gotze has apparently spurned their advances.
With Dani Alves apparently off to Juventus, the logical link is made to Barcelona trying to reacquire Hector Bellerin who left their youth system for Arsenal.
Georginio Wijnaldum looks to be in demand given his performances and the fact that Newcastle have been relegated. Roma and West Ham have been linked so far.

SOUTH ST. LOUIS (KSDK) -- A victim was stabbed in the 3100 block of Henrietta shortly after 10 p.m. Saturday.
The victim's sister saw her brother, 57, sitting on their front porch and asked him to come inside and lay down because he was intoxicated. When the victim took off his jacket and shirt she saw three lacerations on his chest, neck and back.
The victim could not recall being stabbed because he was very intoxicated. He was transported to a local hospital for treatment of minor lacerations.
