Normandy Travel guide
Normandy : Michelin's recommendations
Normandy, the inspiration of writers and artists, offers pure rural pleasure. Take a walk along the coast to fill your lungs with sea air and admire the elegant resorts. You will be left breathless when you first catch sight of Mont Saint-Michel rising from the sands or look down over Étretat's white cliffs, and it is impossible not to be moved by the memory of the men who gave their lives on Normandy's beaches in June 1944.
Further inland, acres of neat, hedge-lined fields meet the eye. Drink in the sight and scent of apple blossom, admire the pretty, half-timbered cottages and follow the Seine past medieval cities, daunting castles and venerable abbeys. And who could forget Normandy's culinary classics: fresh seafood, creamy Camembert, cider and the famous apple brandy, Calvados?

General Motors Performance Parts E-Rod Motor Program - Open WideWritten by Brian Brennan on December 1, 2010 Upgrade The Heartbeat Of Your Hot Rod-It Will Make You And The Environment Better For It
Engine swaps are as much a part of hot rodding as the car itself. The iconic "A/V-8" is both a hot rod and by its existence the ultimate engine swap-leave the engine and swap the body. Any car or truck regardless of year, make, or model is welcome upon the holy ground that's hot rodding with the venerable engine swap.
Something else hot rodders are familiar with is: "Necessity is the mother of invention." So it is as rodders strive to keep what's dear to their automotive souls yet help the world around us. All rodders have obstacles to overcome but California rodders have just gained one more. Worrying about impending emissions standards has never been on our radar-but it is now.
The General Motors Performance Parts E-ROD motor (PN 19244805; 24-month/50,000-mile warranty intended for an automatic) program is intended to offer rodders the latest in performance through technology, while at the same time provide what the outside world is demanding-a better place. It really is a win-win for rodders; performance and driveability coupled with a green outcome.
The E-ROD program heartbeat comes through an LS3 6.2L V-8 engine (430 hp/424 lb-ft of torque) meeting any hot rodder's requirement for max performance, while the emission package satisfies the growing need to be more "in tune" with Mother Nature. The basic kit consists of a GMPP LS3 engine wiring harness, engine control module, exhaust manifolds, catalytic converters (mount 16-20 inches from the closest cylinder head exhaust port and don't mix up right and left converters), oxygen sensors and sensor bosses, fuel tank evaporative emissions canister, mass airflow sensor and sensor boss, accelerator pedal (fly-by-wire LS3's electronic throttle), air filter, and instruction manual. The E-ROD engine packages are also emission-compliant for OBD-I (1995) and earlier model vehicles. GMPP was the first of the major auto manufacturers to offer a performance engine package that's also emissions compliant.
In order to pull off this engine swap you will need other items like a belt drive system (PN 10155066 or 19155067) and a transmission. GMPP recommends the 4L60-E overdrive transmission (PN 19156260) and transmission controller (PN 12497316). Since the swap will require a Vehicle Speed Input sensor that measures 40 pulses per revolution the supplied harness works with the 4L60 or 4L80 transmissions. (It can also be made to work with the 6L80 and 90 transmissions.)
If you really want to enjoy the LS3 performance, three pedals always trumps a non-descript gear selector. Our '32 Ford highboy roadster is fitted with an LS3 Camaro six-speed (PN 92236241). To run a six-speed you will also need a six-bolt flywheel (PN 12471611), six flywheel bolts (PN 11569956), pilot bearing (PN 12557583), clutch and pressure plate kit (PN24248945), six pressure plate bolts (PN12561465), and a release bearing (PN19210297) in transmission assembly.
The LS3 calibrated for the manual trans (PN 19256487) is ready. Eventually you will be able to select horsepower ratings from 327 hp (5.3 L) to 505 hp (LS7) to 550 hp (supercharged LSA)-all emission legal.
Should you opt for the manual box, a word on rearend gearing. The SO-CAL highboy originally had 3:56 gears and when you couple this to a six-speed you will be running 105 mph at 2,200 rpm. Probably what you want but not what you need. The six-speed gives you the option of installing some "gear" in back. Pete Chapouris (SO-CAL Speed Shop) opted to run 4:11 gears, which will yield 60 mph in Fifth gear at 2,000 rpm, while Sixth gear at 2,000 rpm will yield 89 mph. Ideal gearing for around-town acceleration and some high-speed, off-road runs.
GMPP sets the initial calibration for a 3.55 rear gear but the computer will easily handle 3.08 to 4.11 gearing. Recommended tire diameters should fall between 26 to 30 inches.
Nowadays in hot rodding, engine swaps typically surface in one of two methods, placing the new engine where it never existed or a retrofit. The LS engine has grown tremendously in popularity in the rodding world thanks to its easy initial fit or as a retrofit. There are many companies that offer motor mount plates that attach to the LS block and then to the already-present small-block Chevy mount, making the retro fit as close to a direct fit as possible. There are plenty of LS headers and stock exhaust manifolds available. Just make sure these headers will clear your motor mounts, steering components, frame, and any crossmembers.
A note on exhaust systems: the factory exhaust manifolds were modified by SO-CAL by cutting at a 7-degree angle along the face that bolts to the head. This "fly cut" allows the lower portion of the manifolds to "pull in" thereby clearing the Vega steering box and shafts, motor mounts, and '32 framerails (particularly on the driver side). The stock manifolds effectively were turned into "block huggers".
There are a handful of other items, some may already be on your car or you will have to fabricate from existing pieces; fuel tank, fuel lines, fuel pump, fuel tank vent line to the evaporative emissions canister, purge line from the canister to the engine purge solenoid, air induction system that incorporates the mass airflow sensor, and if you want an exhaust system behind the catalytic converters. Experience taught us the supplied four Camaro catalytic converters provided ample sound muffling and as such no conventional mufflers were required. Another aftermarket piece that might come in handy is one of the thermostat housings offered by Street & Performance (Mena, AR). There is a 90- and 45-degree that rotate 360 degrees, which comes in handy when positioning your radiator hose between the block and the radiator.
A Quick Spin Around Arizona
On paper all of this sounds great but nothing beats the seat-of-the-pants test. To prove a point that the E-ROD package is everything a hot rod powerplant should be and then some, Chapouris and myself took a lap around Arizona. By logging 875-plus miles in three days we were able to get opinions from shop owners, builders, and individual rodders.
We began our trip at the SO-CAL shop in Pomona, California, bright and early at the crack of noon, or something like that. From here our first stop was Phoenix, other than the California Highway Patrol officer who informed us we should check our speedometer calibration. We visited with Frank and Mary Streff of SO-CAL Speed Shop of Phoenix before moving onto Camp Verde and the shop of Bob Everts. Here we met with other rodders who included Clyde "Ross" Morgan an artist of incredible talent making bronze dioramas of early hot rods and a very talented sheetmetal pro in Paul Dunaway.
The next day it was onto Jerome, Arizona, (Chapouris has family roots in this 7,000-plus foot mountainside mining town) and a chance to take in some sights and refresh our parched pallet. Wouldn't you know it, we're in the middle of nowhere and a hot order walks up to us and recognizes the car, Chapouris , and myself, and begins to fill us in on the rodding at random in the locale. From here it was onto Prescott, Arizona, to visit with Garth Bowie who is currently restoring very rare vintage race cars. Back in 1983 he appeared in STREET RODDER and has always been known for his metalworking.
Our goal was to visit with a number of rodders and let them see, hear, ask questions, and in some cases drive the E-ROD-powered highboy, and to get their impressions and opinions.
All were impressed with the smoothness of the idle and quietness, yet all commented on the throaty hot rod sound the car has when under throttle. The roadster responded to the touch of the fly-by-wire throttle easily and with plenty of power regardless of altitude; this trip had it all from near sea level to 7,023 feet above sea level.
Hot rodding will always be about building something that represents your ideas and goals. However, going forward we are no longer "flying under the radar", and as such the outside world looks to us and it now becomes our responsibility to show that we care about our hobby and the air we breathe.

The drawing shows the relative position of all E-ROD components as it might be found in a new Camaro SS.The LS3 fit surprisingly well between a pair of SO-CAL's '32 'rails and with aftermarket motor mounts you can use your original small-block Chevy mounts if you are retrofitting your hot rod.Here is the catalytic converter package as it comes from GMPP; note provisions for four O2 sensors, provided. The wise rodder will position and fit so no modifications are needed to pipes. Converters offer ample sound muffling no conventional mufflers required-a positive.Underneath looking up you can see the four converters in position "wrapping" the six-speed box; plenty of clearance.View from underneath the roadster shows the exhaust system minus mufflers, making for an uncluttered and spacious under-carriage.SO-CAL opted for an in-tank fuel pump, similar to a Camaro unit, which comes with outlet and return line capabilities. The engine can be installed as a "deadhead", meaning no return line or with a return line-the return line used in this fuel system.The original '32 gas tank was retained; note the fuel tank evaporative emissions canister line (silver in color, center of photo) needs to be adapted to the tank as it is a vital component to the emission system.
The fly-by-wire throttle is supplied but rodders will most likely modify (as shown) to fit the style of car.Supplied GMPP LS3 engine wiring harness and engine control module were mounted under the dash against the firewall. It can be mounted in the engine compartment but keep away from excessive heat (exhaust) or in an area that may be exposed to splash from driving in wet conditions.First stop on the Arizona run was SO-CAL Speed Shop in Phoenix owned and operated by Frank (right) and Mary (not shown) Streff. The Streffs have a twin to Chapouris' roadster and also have a '53 Ford pickup in matching SO-CAL colors. (Recreation of the Alex Xydias pickup from the early dry lakes days.)Chapouris (left), Bob Everts (middle), and Paul Dunaway (right) talk over the neat fit the LS3 is within the Deuce highboy engine compartment. Everts has a Deuce highboy three-window coupe that is painted in SO-CAL colors.Pictured is Clyde "Ross" Morgan (left), a well-known artist whose medium is bronze and has made some incredible dioramas featuring early Fords. Chapouris (center) gives more technical data on the E-ROD to both Ross and Paul (right).Tony Piner (left), a well-known SoCal-now-Arizona hot rodder and Bonneville 200 MPH Club Life Member with multiple records to his credit, was another stop on our quick lap. He took in the sights and enjoyed seeing the LS3 swap.

The probability of a terrorist attack using the smallpox virus is low, but if it did happen the consequences could be great.
Monday the Illinois Department of Public Health unveiled a strategy to make heath professionals prepared for the possibility of such an attack.
Illinois Public Health Director Dr. John Lumpkin says smallpox vaccinations will be offered to as many as 16-thousand public health and hospital personnel across the state to prepare for the possibility of a terrorist attack. Here, in Winnebago County, health and safety officials are taking precautions as well.
If the smallpox virus is intentionally released in Winnebago County, front line responders in health care facilities, fire and police departments would need to be armed to fight the outbreak. Their weapon: A smallpox vaccine.
"Once this is carried out, it'll contribute substantially to the increased capacity to deal with any kind of a bio-terrorist attack that might involve smallpox," says Winnebago County Health Administrator Mike Bacon.
The Winnebago County Health Department will submit their plan to vaccinate health care professionals to the Illinois Department of Public Health on Friday.
"This is really about increasing the level of preparedness in our community," says Bacon.
Fire and police departments are taking precautions as well, not only through vaccines, but through drills as well.
North Park Fire Chief Steve Ferdinand says the drills allow firefighters to find out where their weaknesses are and to work on them and make them their strengths.
The smallpox vaccination has its share of weaknesses as well. Serious and potentially fatal side effects can occur.

I think the mountains are a little bit too big on the central continent, and like you said they don't match up with tectonics. Perhaps this might serve to give you some ideas, it helped me a lot. When two plates press together they make many mountain ranges that run somewhat in parallel, like the Alps. Maybe you could model the mountains in the central continent on the Alps. The freezing poles I think are just a fact with an earth-like (same tilt) planet. The poles get very cold, since they don't get as much energy from the sun, and freeze, forming a crust of ice.
All in all, looks like a good start to me.

Our group of 4 has region C tags. Where exactly are you headed? Have you hunted Region C before? We have in he past. We will be out there the Oct 8th-14th or around there. I cant wait!
Looking to apply for a region C tag for mule deer this year, just wanted to get some input on how the mule deer herd is doing in that area. Any information for this region would be greatly appreciated. Also looking to get an antelope tag for either unit 18 or 19 to go along with the mule deer tag.
Our group of 4 has region C tags. Where exactly are you headed? Have you hunted Region C before? We have in he past. We will be out there the Oct 8th-14th or around there. I cant wait!
Hunted Region C back in 2007 I think... Here's a link to the hunt. If this is your first time to the unit, I'd be glad to share some public land hotspots that we found deer in after 10 or 12 days of rifle season pressure already. PM me.
i would suggest buying some BLM maps for the Region C area. It shows the public lands open. Make sure to call the local warden to make sure access to the area your looking at is attainable. The area north of Gillette by the town of Weston. It is part of the Thunder Basin National Grassland. You can buy that map from the Forest Service. A person I once knew hunted up there for years, and always did well. He said the weekends got some heavey pressure, but during the week and later in the season, they didnt see too many hunters. He now hunts on a ranch by Sheridan. There is also some pockets of public land north of I-90 and east of Sheridan. There isnt huge tracts of land, but lots of smaller tracts that will take time to hit. Its kind of late in the game to really get in depth.........but I would start with buying BLM maps in those areas and go from there. good luck!
any other Region C hunters out there? Leaving the 16th, and hunting the 17th, 18th, 19th, and till noon on the 20th if needed. Know the drought is bad, and also heard deer numbers are a tad lower than usual.........but I dont care! The 16th cant come soon enough for me!
Would love to see some pictures. I will be posting some when we get back.
well headed to Region C tuesday morning. Hoping for few hunters and colder weather. No rain. And lots of bucks runnin garound begging to be shot!! LOL Lets hope for a safe trip and a good hunt!
Good luck! Post some pics for us!
I definately will post pictures. I cant wait for tuesday...........hoping to get on the road around 6-7 am eastern. I am driving myself nuts thinking about getting the heck out of Wisconsin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I took this buck on public land down in Region C this year. Like everyone else has said, those BLM maps come in handy.

Regents To Evaluate University Presidents
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - The board that governs Iowa's public universities will evaluate the performance of University of Iowa President Sally Mason and other leaders during a closed session.
The Board of Regents meets Tuesday in Urbandale to conduct evaluations of Mason, outgoing University of Northern Iowa President Ben Allen and first-year Iowa State University President
Steven Leath.
The closed-door performance review for Mason is expected to get the most attention given that Allen is retiring and Leath was recently praised by Board President Craig Lang.
The review is the first of Mason since the board last year declined to renew her contract and ordered her to revise her goals to improve the university's public relations. Mason has downplayed
any tension and still enjoys the support of key faculty, staff and student leaders.
Democratic Lawmakers Show Results of School Superintendent Survey
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Democratic lawmakers say a survey they sent to superintendents shows many expect teacher layoffs and class size increases if the Legislature doesn't increase state aid by a
March 1 deadline.
Sen. Herman Quirmbach and Rep. Sharon Steckman held a news conference Monday to announce results of a survey sent to 348 school districts. They are Democratic leaders in education
They say 206 superintendents responded. Of them, 57 percent say they expected teacher layoffs, 72 percent expected class size increases and 68 percent thought they would postpone ordering
school materials if lawmakers didn't increase state aid to schools by March.
Lawmakers have missed a March 1 deadline for setting allowable revenue growth in the past.
Quirmbach says state aid should be decided before taking up Gov. Terry Branstad's education reforms.
Boone High School Placed On Lockdown
BOONE, Iowa (AP) - Authorities in central Iowa say they kept a high school evacuated and briefly placed several other schools on lockdown because they received a threat.
The threat Monday afternoon was an unconfirmed report of an intruder at Boone High School. Officials say the threat was received by email.
The station reports a fire drill was under way at the school and the evacuation was continued following the threat. The Boone Community School District says other schools were placed on
lockdown as a precaution.
Authorities searched the school room-by-room. No injuries were reported.
High school students were taken to a local YMCA, where parents were later able to pick them up. Buses later took other students home.
Levin Pleads Not Guilty To Murder and Kidknapping
EARLY, Iowa (AP) - A 21-year-old Iowa man has pleaded not guilty to charges of killing his mother and kidnapping another woman.
Kirk Levin submitted a written plea Monday. He faces charges of first-degree murder and
third-degree kidnapping.
Prosecutors say Levin repeatedly stabbed his mother, Marilyn Schmitt, at her farmhouse in Early on Jan. 3. They say he then kidnapped a 21-year-old woman who he tied up and put in the trunk
of a car. The woman escaped after Levin drove into a ditch.
Levin had been released from prison days earlier after serving time for burglary charges. Gov. Terry Branstad's spokesman has defended the state's release of Levin.
Des Moines Officials Continue To Evict Homeless
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Des Moines officials have posted eviction notices at two more makeshift camps set up by homeless people.
The city had posted eviction notices at three other camps on Jan. 17.
Three people ordered to leave one of the camps have filed appeals, with help from a local nonprofit group.
Jim Loveland says that for him and two other people living under the Raccoon River bridge the camp is "like our home. We feel comfortable down here."
The Des Moines Register reports (http://dmreg.co/114x8Ki) that officials say complaints from the public about the homeless camps prompted the evictions. A city ordinance bars camping on public

I am looking for a cartographer who can craft a map of a fantasy town. I am hoping the map can be fairly detailed, as the town has several named districts and points of interest that I would like to highlight. I have a VERY rough map that I would send to anyone interested in making this map.
I really like the "bird's eye view" style of maps that Blaidd Drwg used in crafting his map, "city of Val Nevan", highlighted on the main page.
Quality & Size
I would prefer a vector image (is that right? I am computer graphics illiterate) that I can use on a website. I would prefer a colored map, again similar to what Blaidd Drwg created.
Time Constraints
I have no time constraints, so I can be very flexible about deadlines.
The artist will retain copyright of the map, except that I would like reproduction rights to the map, and I would like first refusal rights to purchase any original print of the map before its commercial sale.
I am willing to pay what is reasonable, up to $100, payable upon delivery of the final files. If this amount is grossly unfair based on the job requirements, talk to me.

Minneapolis, MN (Sports Network) - The 23rd-ranked Minnesota Golden Gophers
attempt to halt their unexpected slide on Tuesday night when they welcome the
Nebraska Cornhuskers to Williams Arena for a Big Ten Conference showdown.
In a conference chock full of outstanding teams, Nebraska has done little to
stand out, going 2-6 in Big Ten play. Both of those victories have come in the
Cornhuskers' last two games however, as they beat Penn State on Jan. 19
(68-64) and dismissed Northwestern on Saturday afternoon (64-49) to improve to
11-10 overall.
Minnesota began the season as one of the nation's most impressive teams, using
an 11-game winning streak to catapult to 15-1, but since then things have gone
south in a hurry. The treacherous road in the Big Ten has gotten the best of
the Gophers, who have lost four straight games, culminating in a heartbreaking
last-second defeat at Wisconsin on Saturday, 45-44, which resulted in a slip
from No. 12 to No. 23 in the polls.
Minnesota holds a 48-13 advantage in the all-time series over Nebraska,
including a season sweep in 2011-12.
The Cornhuskers put together one of their best all-around efforts of the
season in their latest 15-point win, out-shooting Northwestern from the field
(45.1 percent to 32.1 percent) and winning the rebounding battle by a
convincing 43-34 margin. Dylan Talley was the catalyst in the triumph, scoring
20 points on 8-of-15 from the field while also corralling eight rebounds.
Brandon Ubel logged his fourth double-double of the season with 14 points and
12 rebounds, while Ray Gallegos added 11 points.
Nebraska has been a solid defensive squad all season long, allowing opponents
to score just 61.2 ppg, but it has not taken advantage on offense, scoring a
league-low 58.5 ppg. Talley is the team's leading scorer with 13.4 ppg, but
he's been a detriment with his poor field goal percentage (.352). Gallegos
(12.7 ppg) has also been sub par from the field (.387), while Ubel brings
stability to the frontcourt with 12.1 ppg and 7.0 rpg.
Minnesota led a defensive struggle against Wisconsin on the road by two with
under four minutes to play, but the Badgers came back to take a 45-43 lead
with four seconds left. The Gophers had a chance to tie the game when Rodney
Williams stepped to the foul line with one second on the clock, but after
making the first free throw, he missed the game-tying attempt. They shot just
34.8 percent from the field in the loss, with Andre Hollins (20 points) and
Trevor Mbakwe (eight points, 10 rebounds) the only two players who put
together performances worth writing home about.
Mbakwe (9.8 ppg, 8.7 rpg, 1.8 bpg) has been one of the most physical forwards
in the Big Ten, but he's listed as questionable for this matchup with a
bruised wrist. In the event of his absence, the team will have to rely more
heavily on Williams (11.6 ppg, 5.5 rpg, 1.5 bpg) in the frontcourt. Minnesota,
which scores 73.2 ppg, while allowing just 61.3 ppg, is usually guard-heavy
with its production, as Andre Hollins (14.2 ppg, 3.5 apg), Austin Hollins
(10.8 ppg, 2.0 spg), and Joe Coleman (10.1 ppg) are all strong backcourt

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (WUSA)-- Mourners filled the Memorial Chapel on the University of Maryland campus in College Park to remember two of their students killed in a murder-suicide, and pray for the speedy recovery of a third.
Although, the murder-suicide happened off campus the shock waves were felt throughout the entire University of Maryland community.
There was prayer, remembrance, and singing at the memorial. Many are left with heavy hearts trying to make sense of the tragedy that has rocked their campus.
Although no one was mentioned by name, the thoughts included prayer for the shooter 23-year old Dayvon Green, and his roommate turned murder victim 22-year old Stephen Rane.
University of Maryland president Dr. Wallace Loh said, "Tonight each of us seeks to ease our pain. How can we make sense of an act so utterly senseless, especially when it comes from one of our own?"
The third students involved in the shooting is said to be recovering in a hospital and is expected to survive. Investigators have not released his identity at the time of this report.
UMD officials are vowing to offer counseling to any student who seeks it.

Summary:Peter LaFleur is a charismatic underachiever and proprietor of a rundown gym called Average Joe's. The facility's ecclectic clientele of decidedly less-than-"average Joes" is comprised of: a self-styled pirate; a scrawny nerd who dreams of impressing an unattainable cheerleader; an obsessive aficionado of obscure sports; a dim-witted young man; and a cocky know-it-all who, of course, really knows nothing. Peter's humble gym catches the eye of White Goodman, the power-mullet-sporting, Fu-Manchu-d, egomaniacal owner of Globo Gym, a gleaming monolith of fitness. White intends to take over Average Joe's, and Peter's non-existent bookkeeping is making it all too easy for him. A foreclosing bank h... Full Summary >>

A couple notes…
- I've been hammering out episodes of Better Call Saul as fast as I can!
- I've got a huge trip planned to visit my family in Saint Louis in May!
So before we get to BCS (Better Call Saul) I was wondering if any readers out there have any experience renting a limo service. If you are from the Saint Louis area I'd love to get your opinion. I found a company called St. Charles Limos and they look promising, but I honestly can't really tell who to hire.
I want to go out for a night with my sisters and a limo is the right way to do it!
Anyways…. moving on…
I just watched the first 6 episodes in like the past couple days. Awesome, awesome, awesome. Saul is a legend in the making, and it's even better when they show him hustling in his early years. Love that dude!
If you can't tell, I am a huge Breaking Bad fan so Better Call Saul has been on my radar for a while. Taking care of Tink though is like a full time job so it pretty much has prevented me from watching the show "live". I also have the NHL playoffs going on right now so that takes precedence over nearly everything!
I think I feel asleep last night during a great episode. Saul and his brother are just about to really go after that retirement community. I really hope this turns out to be a massive case.
What still isn't apparent to me is whether or not Saul ever becomes a big time lawyer like his brother or if he stays small time most of his life. I have no idea how far away season 1 of breaking bad is time wise, if that makes sense.
Like is Saul 20 years away? 5 years away? Does he win this huge case and then fall apart and that's why he has to represent people like Walt? I honestly have no idea and I love that!
Gilligan and crew do a masterful job with both of these series. If you really want to be inspired, check out this youtube clip I stumbled upon the other day…
Talk about awesome! I love Walter White, and Saul as well!
Anyways, that's all for now.

HANNIBAL - River's Brett Price did his best Jimmy Chitwood impersonation Tuesday evening.
With River and Magnolia knotted at 52 with 13.8 seconds showing on the clock, Pilots coach Mark Romick called for a timeout.
Without hesitation, Price told his head coach he wanted the ball.
"Coach started drawing up the play and I said, 'I want (the ball),'" Price said.
Ten days after Price torched the Blue Eagles for 40 points in a victory in New Martinsville, Romick had no choice but to listen.
"It was going to be Brett all the way," Romick said.
Price took the inbounds pass and had Blue Eagles senior standout Mark Winters - with his 6-foot-6 and lengthy frame - defending.
Price utilized several screens around the top of the key before making a move. His driving lane was cut off, so he pivoted around and shot a 15-foot fader, which rolled around the rim and through just before the horn sounding, giving the Pilots a 54-52 victory inside the R.L. Potts Gymnasium.
"We had a set play in case (Magnolia) came out in zone, but when they went man, we just got the ball into Brett's hands," Romick said. "We went 1-4 low and gave him a high screen. He always wants the last shot and he delivered for us again."
Price, who led the Pilots with 19 points, hit a buzzer-beating 3-pointer at the end of the first quarter, which gave the Pilots a 16-11 lead, the largest margin of the contest.
"The big shots is why I've practiced for so long," Price said. "You have to believe you're going to knock down the shot late and that's what it came down to."
On the other bench, Magnolia coach Dave Tallman was left stunned as the Price shot went through the net.
"Give Brett Price a lot of credit," Tallman said. "We had two guys in his face. We had a foul to give and probably should have fouled, but there's a risk there if they're in the act of shooting obviously."
Winters finished with 31 points and 14 rebounds for Magnolia. Zach Willhoite had 12 points and eight rebounds.
Cody Caldwell complemented Price's scoring with 15 points. Matt Marconi buried four 3-pointers en route to 12. Jordan Indermuhle had just six points, but he had 18 boards.
The Pilots held a 35-30 edge on the glass. River had nine turnovers, which was one more than the Blue Eagles.

|Fair's talent show affiliates with national 'Country Showdown,' comic magician also booked
|Written by Wauneta Breeze
|Thursday, 27 June 2013 16:45
By Jan Schultz
The Imperial Republican
Two events at the Chase County Fair will take on a little different look in August, as fair board members put the finishing touches on the Aug. 11-18 schedule.
The Thursday afternoon, Aug. 25, talent show has taken on a national scope as it affiliates with the 32nd annual Texaco Country Showdown talent search.
And, those who enjoyed the free hypnotist shows last year will enjoy a little different entertainment as comic magician Jerry Frasier entertains Thursday, Friday and Saturday of fair week.
John Brandt of KOGA/KMCX Radio in Ogallala, which is sponsoring the talent search, said they have been trying to schedule this event during the Chase County Fair for two years.
With local contestants having the chance to advance on to regionals and then the national finals where a $100,000 grand prize is up for grabs, Brandt said the fair's event "will be a big step up."
Winners at the Chase County Fair event in the open air pavilion advance first to the state contest to be held at the Nebraska State Fair on Saturday, Aug. 24.
There is no age limit for the local talent search, and prizes will be awarded. State winners will vie for a $1,000 cash prize and advance to a regional competition.
Vocal, and/or instrumental performers can compete in individual acts or groups of up to seven members. There will be a $20 entry fee per act.
Entry forms are now available by contacting KOGA/KMCX at 1-800-658-4445.
Over the years, stars such as Garth Brooks, Sara Evans and Brad Paisley have competed in the Country Showdown. At the 1983 National Final, Martina McBride and Neal McCoy competed against one another, only to lose to The Jim Arnold Band. In 1985, Sweethearts Of The Rodeo won the National Final before becoming one of country music's hottest duos.
More details on the talent search will be released as the fair nears.
Comic Magician Jerry Frasier, a former East Coast educator, will be at the fair for a total of five shows Aug. 15, 16 and 17. One show will be held Thursday, with two each on Friday and Saturday, all in the open air pavilion.
His shows are billed as anything-can-happen clean comedy which are fun, well-planned, highly visual and tightly routined.
Frasier has been entertaining for 20 years, and takes audience participation to a new level with illusions and other magical events.
Three other activities previously held at the fair will not be on the 2013 schedule, according to fair board members.
The Corvette Show is being moved off the fair schedule to Saturday, Oct. 12, and will be combined with a Classic GM Show, said fair board member Dillon Harchelroad, who is working on the 2013 fair week schedule. Site for the Corvette/GM Classic Show will be Harchelroad Motor's new body shop facility on East Highway 6 in Imperial.
In addition, the cattle dog trials held the past five years early in fair week and the bob-tail truck show held Saturday of fair week do not appear on the 2013 schedule.
This year's colored fair brochure with all of the events, times and sponsors will be mailed in July.

Minor Commercials Mentions
this wiki
The following is a list of commercials and other advertisements which contain minor mentions of the Muppets, Sesame Street, or Jim Henson.
Delta Faucets
A portion of the Sesame Street song "Hands" was used in a 2009 commercial. No visuals appeared, only the vocals of Jerry Nelson as The Count. (YouTube)
Dr. Pepper
In 2005, a television advertising campaign for "Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper" featured a recording of Jim Henson and Frank Oz singing "Mahna Mahna." The commercial featured a couple on a date at a fancy restaurant. The man is claiming to have won the lottery and given it to charity. As he talks, his date sips the drink and suddenly the restaurant breaks into a musical number, with all the patrons and servers bobbing their heads to the song.
A very brief clip from a Sesame Street sketch with Ernie and some sheep appeared in a commercial first shown during the 2011 Super Bowl. The clip was digitally altered to include St. Louis Rams football caps on the sheep and a sign on Ernie's door.
The commercial also contained segments from Happy Days (with Henry Winkler and Ron Howard), Beverly Hills, 90210, Seinfeld (with Michael Richards), The Office, The Sopranos (with James Gandolfini and Tony Sirico), Cheers (with George Wendt), The Golden Girls (with Betty White), Full House (with Dave Coulier), The Dukes of Hazzard, Family Guy, Family Matters, The Brady Bunch, ALF, How I Met Your Mother (with Neil Patrick Harris and Jason Segel), Friends, Glee, Modern Family, The Simpsons, and South Park.
The trailer for the 2014 comedy movie (directed by Nick Stoller, starring Zac Efron and Seth Rogen) starts with an a capella version of "The People in Your Neighborhood". [1]

HOT DAMN Feli looks especially sexy, even in that Scarface tee!! Yes, please. Love Rafa in white, it shows off that yummy mocha skin. And with all that said, I'm really wishing I was Moya in that Spanish sandwich pic...lucky!!ReplyDelete
I like Fed's duds, esp those dark jeans...but I'm not feeling the hair right now. JJ needs to lose the hat and stop matching her lip gloss with her heels. Pick one! I'd say go with the heels, as the bright pink pout is a bit too 80s (in a bad way).
Anywho...just under 4 hours until AO coverage starts! Hell yes!
James Blake cake!!Delicious, although bad shirt and to big coat,but what a great looking guy, love him!Except his chicken legs turn me off.ReplyDelete
Rafa looks awful in that white i'm-a-mariachi player-from-mexico shirt, get Rafa some stylish sports wear!
Fed is dressed perfecto!
Jelena?!?!OMG.I hate when girls pair shoes and purse by color, it's absolutely awful,and our JJ paired with them a lipstick color, too.Yuck.
Worm and once perspective player, who supposed to dominate the women's game by now??!Crazy.I think he bewitches those girls.

Roger doesnt have to even try hard to put this lot in his pocket fashionwise, does he? He looks even more stylish and elegant with the new hairdo then before.ReplyDelete
Rafa, am sorry, but your washed up look is rather kiddolike, no news there unfortunately. Where is Robredo, the one that can keep up with Roger in fashion?
JJ is rather fashion-confused, isnt she?

Fashionwise, it's Feli, of course. Edgy, sexy, confident, daytime, cool.ReplyDelete
Federer? Boring, childlike, whitebread, square, Mirka-inspired.

First of all: I SO envy those guys for partying in the Crown Casino. This place rocks!!!ReplyDelete
Rafa: OK, he looks really stupid in the first picture - very unfortunate moment LOL. But I like his style - as always, it's natural and just him. Yum.
Roger: hey, the hair looks better now that the crazy locks are under control with gel! Fashion is solid.
JJ: What's with the hat?!?!?!
Worm: CREEPSTER.
Feli: Love the shirt. So outta nowhere. LOL
Haas: ?!
Arnaud: So french. :P
James: Has he, like, stolen the Worm's shirt?! Ditto for Carlos.
Am I the only one that likes Rog's haircut??ReplyDelete
Rafa needs to get a hairbrush, but I'll take him dirty, rumpled, bed hair, whatev, just give me him.
I get scared of men that are more beautiful than me, so sorry Felo. I like looking at you though.
My BFF is squealing over Armand - I guess it is a French thing.
Rich, I'd like to order a place amongst the very mediteranean manwich you got there.
*slips big tip to Rich so Babz gets a REALLY good place*
I am not even gonna comment on JJ and those.. creepy people. It's too creepy.
- johanneJanuary 19, 2009 at 8:24 AM
OMFG Rich - did you see Feli's crazy ass long match with Muller?! It broke the AO's record for longest match in the history of the tourney. 5 hours, 20+ minutes, or something like that. BRUTAL. And Feli lost it. So sad!! He's so hot :*(ReplyDelete

I would like to export multiple contact folders which are organized in tree like structure. Essentially I want to export the full contact in a recursive manner where I select only the parent folder.
Is there any direct way to do it.
Also When I import my contacts, if I create a address book within an address book, it doesn't seem to import correctly. ??!!. Or maybe my approach is wrong.

Tough tough tough... But at least you are hunting sheep.
it well take forever to draw a tag for sheep so i was looking into montana they give you 5 units to chose from i narrowed it down to 2 does anyone have any insight or info to give
Tough tough tough... But at least you are hunting sheep.
Some units close quickly. Some units depend HEAVILY on migration. Tough hunts, but the easiest/cheapest way I know of to put a sheep tag in your pocket.
that's what i thought a tag in my pocket did some reseach i was going to get there 4 to 5 day before the season starts try and find some sheep and sit on them till the season starts
do you have to be a Montana resident for the otc?
Most people go in a week early not 4-5 days...sometimes you'll need a full week to find a ram, sometimes in a week you won't find one.
So a non-res can put in for the draw and "for sure" get a tag, first try?
In the migration units, you might find a ram 2 days before the season opens, but he will be in Wyoming before opening day. It is definitely NOT an easy hunt.
I know a few people that made it work, but I will continue to roll the dice on limited units myself.
BB i have been researching this for a couple of years i had it narrowed down to two units until you brought up migration it didn"t come up in any of my research it"s something to think about i didn"t think they be migrating that early i"ve been app in three states for sheep i thought this could be a way to start hunting them until i draw one if i ever do and maybe i"ll get lucky and get one

Children and adults filtered in to the Mountain Mist Amphitheatre at Rifle Falls a few at a time. Parents towing children, children towing grandparents, and siblings scrambling to get the best seats for the "Wild About Bats" program.
For Terry Wise, a retired Front Range special education administrator who has served as park naturalist and environmental educator at the Rifle Gap State Parks Complex for the last three years, bats have become a hobby. Although she's the first to admit she is not an expert, what she might lack in the form of a degree or credentials related to wildlife, she more than makes up for with her passion for the program.
Wise, with help from her 7-year-old granddaughter, Kaylie, visiting from the Denver area, started with a question for the gathered group: "What do you think about when you think of bats?"
The children and adults, with some prompting from Wise, supplied suggestions from "Batman" to "Twilight" to "Harry Potter." Wise showed the audience a picture of Dracula's castle in Transylvania and "The Munsters" television program and then explained why some of the reasons our dark, scary, Hollywood-based ideas about bats are incorrect.
Bats are not only harmless to humans, they are helpful to mankind. A single brown bat, the most common kind in this area, can devour between 600-1,000 mosquitoes or other insects in an hour, making them far more effective than any man-made "bug zapper," Wise said.
Wise called her volunteer helpers, dressed in bat costumes, forward to read a poem about bats, then proceeded to have more young helpers display a bat fossil, a bat skeleton, a bat skull, and several frozen bats. One young lady demonstrated how bats fly, using wings made from black plastic sheeting. Bats are, in fact, the only true flying mammal, she said. Some squirrels can "glide," but bats are the only mammals with the ability to fly under their own power.
"It's true, powered flight," Wise explained.
As she wrapped up her part of the presentation, a bat fluttered overhead, as if on cue. With flashlights, headlamps and lanterns, the 25-30 people at the program followed Wise up the trail to the pond at the top of Rifle Falls.
In the deepening twilight, resident bats rewarded the audience with their own demonstrations overhead, while Wise answered questions about everything from echolocation to rabid bats to bat reproduction to White Nose Syndrome, a fungal infection that has threatened bat colonies on the East Coast and is spreading West. At this time, the infection has not been found in Colorado, but caves in Colorado have been closed to hikers and spelunkers for more than a year as a preventative measure.
This year has been named the "Year of the Bat" by Bat Conservation International, which encourages care and education for bats and their habitats worldwide. The children in attendance at the Rifle Falls program received free posters and stickers to remind them of the important roles bats play in our ecosystem.
The educational presentation is part of a series of free programs offered at the Rifle Gap State Parks System between Memorial Day and Labor Day. The programs and presentations include everything from a campfire singalong at Rifle Gap to lessons about living near predatory wildlife like mountain lions and bears. The programs are paid for by Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) funds. Wise reminded the adults present that GOCO funds come from the sale of lottery scratch tickets, not Powerball tickets, and are also used to pay for park upgrades and improvements.
Wise said attendance at the summer presentations averages anywhere from 20-70 people of all ages.
"About 70 percent of them are from the Denver-metro area," she said.
Wise will host one more "Wild About Bats" program this Sunday, Sept. 2, beginning at 7:50 p.m. at Rifle Falls.

What is a Surface Piercing or Surface Piercing Jewelry? A Surface Piercing is where the entrance and exit holes are (usually) pierced through the same flat area of skin. Most surface piercings will fail due to a Piercer not being experienced with Surface Piercings, and not having full knowledge of how the body heals.
This piercing takes a lot of skill and experience to do correctly. I would recommend looking at photos of surface piercings that the Piercer has done that have healed to verify their experience, and not just go by what they say.
Some of the more common surface piercings that are done are the Madison, Nape piercings, Chest, Cleavage, and several piercings around the belly area. These places have very little skin to spare so they are constantly getting friction, which is what usually causes the piercing rejection.
The body Jewelry that is used for these piercings are specifically made for surface piercings and many times are custom made for the person or the Piercer. It is also recommended that you use the flexible jewelry such as for pregnancy which would be even better because it would move with your body and help prevent piercing rejection.

President Obama wiped away tears as he said: "Our hearts are broken today" by the shootings at a school in Connecticut.
"We've endured too many of these tragedies in the past few years," the President said in a statement delivered in the White House press room.
"I know there's not a parent in America who doesn't feel the same overwhelming grief that I do."
He noted that the majority of the victims were children, "beautiful little kids between the ages of five and ten years old."
At that point, the President paused for 15 seconds as he tried to hold back tears, the room silent except for the clicking of camera shutters.
He continued: "They had their whole lives ahead of them."
"As a country we have been through this too many times."
"And we're going to have to come together and take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this, regardless of the politics."

Lauderdale County officials are looking at ways to save money when it comes to making phone calls. Supervisors are examining the possibility of changing the land-line phone service for county offices. Early estimates are that the change could save Lauderdale County $114,961.20 over the next five years.
"A lot of people walk around with their cell phones where as in the past every room had to have a phone; it's not like that anymore," says Lauderdale County Administrator, Joe McCraney. "So, what we're trying to do is eliminate lines because lines cost money, and when you eliminate lines your phone cost is going to go down because we're getting charged so much a line."
Lauderdale County supervisors are expected to vote to advertise for bids for new phone equipment at their meeting Monday.

Operational Risk in NYC
John Kelly 270004J7VQ firstname.lastname@example.com | | 0 Comments | 344 Visits
The sea of blue suits at the OpRisk North America conference being held in New York City this week provides a stark contrast to the cold rain falling in Times Square. The conference kicked off with a keynote address from Mitsutoshi Adachi, director and deputy division chief at the Bank of Japan. Mr. Adachi, who also serves as chair of the SIG Operational Risk Subgroup for the Basel Committee, noted that his travel plans had to be moved up a few days in order to account for the continued travel delays out of Japan.
His keynote highlighted a recent report published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision titled "Operational Risk – Supervisory Guidelines for the Advanced Measurement Approaches" which found that "Operational risk capital for non-AMA banks is higher than for AMA banks, regardless of the exposure indicator used for scaling." Mr. Adachi also noted in his address that AMA firms showed "only modest increases in losses during the financial crisis period." Certainly not an unexpected result but what was telling was his finding that for the period of 2008 to 2009 (during the financial crisis), operational risk losses for all banks were "2 to 3 times fold" compared with the previous Basel Committee internal loss data collection period of 2005 – 2007. Mr. Adachi declined to field a question on which business lines contributed the most to the losses, per his obligation to keep such information confidential.
He concluded by saying that "the Basel Committee finds it even more important to engage with the industry" moving forward. Looking forward to the Plenary address "Reforming U.S. financial markets: reflections before and beyond Dodd-Frank."
Failure of Risk Management and Control Can be Costly
Richard Steinberg 270004HRBG firstname.lastname@example.com | | 0 Comments | 313 Visits
Unless you've escaped to a remote island with no communication capability, you know about the serious issues facing banks and mortgage generators and service companies surrounding the foreclosure fiasco. For background, you might want to refer back to my October 15 blog which outlines some of the problems stemming from shortcomings in risk management and related internal control.
Connecting With Chief Audit Executive Colleagues
Richard Steinberg 270004HRBG email@example.com | | 0 Comments | 336 Visits
Chief audit executives do a lot of things really well, adding value to the companies they serve. What is especially interesting is how well many, especially CAEs of larger companies, gain information and insight through networking. Many are involved with their peers in industry or geographically based discussion groups, sharing through blogs, conferences, and internet-based information exchanges. And of course there's still the opportunity to communicate via email or text or pick up the phone to talk with a valued colleague.
Operational Risk Panel at GARP
Gordon Burnes 270004HVEW email@example.com | | 0 Comments | 351 Visits
We had the opportunity to host a panel on operational risk at GARP this week in New York. The panel, "Using Operational Risk Management to Gain Competitive Edge", included moderator Christopher Donohue, Managing Director, Research and Educational Programs, (GARP), and panelists Marcelo Cruz, Global Head of Operational Risk Management and Metrics, Morgan Stanley, Patrick McDermott, Senior Director, Enterprise Operational Risk, Freddie Mac, and Mairtin Brady, Head of Operational Risk Management, TIAA-CREF, as well as me, Gordon Burnes.
At the beginning of the the panel, McDermott outlined the basic set of questions that operational risk managers have to answer:
- What can go wrong?
This is a great way to frame the essence of an operational risk manager's job, and those new to the discipline will do well to make sure that their program covers off on these fundamental questions.
This was an interesting panel in that each panelist represented a different perspective on managing operational risk programs. The starkest contrasts were between Cruz, representing the quants, and McDermott, representing the value and importance of qualitative information. Cruz took particular issue with scenario analysis but did acknowledge the limitations of models as expressed in confidence levels. It's clear that there's a wide range of practice in the industry on this topic, with some banks relying heavily on scenarios to model their capital, others relying more on internal data.
All panelist agreed that the operational risk function is on its ascendancy and is increasingly being brought to the table to weigh in on strategic matters, such as acquisitions or new product launches. One of the key takeaways was that operational risk information can help businesses better define their risk profile, allowing business managers to make better decisions about where to invest, and where to focus mitigation efforts.
Reevaluating Your Risk Management Strategy
Richard Steinberg 270004HRBG email@example.com | | 0 Comments | 236 Visits
When organizations choose to shift their corporate mission and redefine organizational goals, it is vital that they carefully evaluate the potential risks and fallout from redefined core value propositions and tactics. A case in point is Toyota—a company that has built its reputation on the quality of its product, but in recent years focused its sights on profits.

Serving the nation's children for more than 140 years, Children's National Health System has been an innovator in pediatric healthcare around the nation and around the world.
Children's National was one of the nation's first children's hospitals, opening in 1870 and growing from a modest 12-bed facility to a 313-bed facility that performs more than 17,000 surgeries and provides more than 460,000 outpatient visits in more than 50 specialties each year.
Formerly referred to as DC Children's Hospital, Children's National is the only exclusive provider of pediatric care in the Washington, DC, metropolitan area.
Today, the institution includes primary health centers, regional outpatient centers, and affiliated pediatric primary and specialty practices throughout the metropolitan area, in addition to tertiary care. Additionally, we're home to the Children's Research Institute, the Sheikh Zayed Institute for Pediatric Surgical Innovation, as well as the Children's National Heart Institute, the Gilbert Family Neurofibromatosis Institute, the Brain Tumor Institute, and the Obesity Institute.

Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is a procedure that places a tube through the abdominal wall and into the stomach.
A gastrostomy tube provides an alternative feeding site. It may be needed to:
If you are planning to have a PEG, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
Your doctor may do the following:
Leading up to your procedure:
You will be given antibiotics for the procedure.
An endoscope is a long thin tool with a light and camera. It will be inserted through your mouth, down your throat, and into your stomach. The camera will send images to a video monitor. The images will be used to find the right spot to insert the PEG feeding tube.
A needle will be inserted through the abdominal wall and into the stomach at the chosen spot. Using the endoscope, the doctor will locate the end of the needle inside the body. A thin wire will be passed from the outside of the body, through this needle, and into the stomach. This wire will be grasped with a snare in the abdomen and pulled out through the mouth. There will be a thin wire entering the front of the abdomen, going into the stomach, and continuing up and out of the mouth. The PEG feeding tube will then be attached to this wire. The wire will be pulled back out from the abdomen. This will pull the PEG tube down into the body.
A small incision will be made in your abdomen. The tube will be pulled until the tip comes out of the incision in the abdominal wall. A soft, round bumper will be attached to the ends of the PEG tube. It will keep the tube secure. Sterile gauze will be placed around the incision site. The PEG tube will be taped to your abdomen.
30-45 minutes
Anesthesia prevents pain during the procedure. You may feel some discomfort. For a couple of days after the procedure, you may have minor pain and soreness at the incision site. This may feel like a pulled muscle. Your doctor can prescribe medicine to relieve this discomfort.
The usual length of stay is one day. Your doctor may choose to keep you longer if complications arise.
After you leave the hospital, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- Prices were modestly higher for gas, food and shelter -- and overall inflation was more subdued than in 2011.
The Consumer Price Index -- the government's key measure of inflation -- was up 1.7% last year compared with 3 percent in 2011. But could this year could be tougher for consumers?
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has reported that consumers can expect to pay 3 percent to 4 percent more for groceries this year. You can blame the drought, which generally drove up feed prices.
Here are some examples:
When you work on that budget for food you are going to feel it this year.

July 2013 Sports Calendar
NYC Sports
by Jonathan Zeller, 06/19/2013
- more in nyc sports/
- events in nyc/
- recently/
Given our declaration before the 2012–2013 NFL season that the Jets had the league's best-looking quarterback tandem in Tim Tebow and Mark "Mr. Handsome" Sanchez, it's only fair to concede that New England—in adding Tebow as a backup for the Ugg-booted Tom Brady—now holds that title. Still, there's plenty at which to gaze admiringly when it comes to NYC sports in July 2013. Major League Baseball's best players are coming to Citi Field for the All-Star Game; the world's most esteemed competitive eaters will convene at Coney Island to gorge themselves on franks at the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest; and the Mets, Yankees, Red Bulls and Liberty all continue their regular seasons. For more information about these and the rest of the month's sporting events, read on.
New York Mets Baseball
When: All month long
Where: Citi Field
Tickets: mets.com
New York Yankees Baseball
When: All month long
Where: Yankee Stadium
Tickets: ticketmaster.com
Brooklyn Cyclones Baseball
When: All month long
Where: MCU Park
Tickets: brooklyncyclones.com
Staten Island Yankees Baseball
When: All month long
Where: Richmond County Bank Ballpark
Tickets: ticketmaster.com
New York City's two major league baseball teams and their local single-A counterparts continue their seasons in July. Mets fans can get a peek at ace Matt Harvey and ace-to-be Zack Wheeler in Queens. Nas, who was raised in the borough, will perform after the game on July 19. The Yankees, meanwhile, host key series against divisional rivals the Orioles and the Rays.

New York Red Bulls Soccer
When: July 13 and 27, 7pm
Where: Red Bull Arena
Tickets: newyorkredbulls.com
CONCACAF Gold Cup Soccer Doubleheader
When: July 8, 7pm
Where: Red Bull Arena
Tickets: redbullarena.us
Street Soccer USA National Cup Championship
When: July 22, time TBA
Where: Times Square
More Info: streetsoccerusa.org
Cosmos Copa Soccer Championship
When: July 28, 2pm
Where: Icahn Stadium
More Info: cosmoscopa.com
Thierry Henry, Tim Cahill and the Red Bulls are still chugging along near the top of the Eastern Conference table. They're chasing the Montreal Impact, a team that happens to visit Red Bull Arena on July 13. A win would be a boost to the New York side's conference-title hopes—the Impact have played four fewer games and still lead the East by a point. Also at Red Bull Arena, El Salvador, Trinidad & Tobago, Haiti and Honduras play in a CONCACAF Gold Cup doubleheader on July 8. In Times Square, four-on-four soccer teams will square off in the finals of the Street Soccer National Cup. Finally, at Ichan Stadium, admission is free to see the finals of Cosmos Copa, a sort of miniature World Cup in which teams represent New York City's diverse ethnic communities (NYC Spain, NYC Ireland and NYC Poland, for example).

Liberty Basketball
When: All month long
Where: Prudential Center
Tickets: ticketmaster.com
The Liberty, off to a 4-2 start in the young WNBA season, contest their first home game of July against star rookie Elena Delle Donne and the Chicago Sky. (By the way, fun fact: of 12 WNBA teams, only three—the Washington Mystics, the Los Angeles Sparks and the San Antonio Silver Stars—have an "s" at the end of their names. We just counted.) Remember, the Liberty are playing across the Hudson in New Jersey while Madison Square Garden is renovated, but their temporary home is just a PATH train ride away from Herald Square or Lower Manhattan.
Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest
When: July 4, 1pm
Where: Nathan's Famous, Coney Island
More Info: ifoce.com
It's back. While nycgo.com's favorite competitive eater, Pat "Deep Dish" Bertoletti, has hung up his stomach for good to open a food truck in Chicago, the show must go on, and we're sure that Joey Chestnut and company will, as ever, astound the hordes gathered at Coney Island and around their televisions at home with their abilities to eat more hot dogs in 10 minutes than a healthy person (arguably) should consume in a lifetime. The event also presents an opportunity to celebrate the eatery's recent reopening after the damage it had sustained from Hurricane Sandy.
Tour de Queens
When: July 7, 9am
Where: Starting at Astoria Park
More Info: tourdequeens.org
The Tour de Queens is not from the people who brought you the Tour de France, but it is from Transportation Alternatives, the organization behind the Tour de Bronx and Tour de Brooklyn. As with the other tours de boroughs, this is quite emphatically not a race but "a rolling parade," not to mention an outstanding opportunity to celebrate cycling and see 19 miles' worth of Queens on wheels. So don't ruin anyone's vibe by getting overly competitive; just relax and enjoy the scenery.

Major League Baseball All-Star Game, Home Run Derby, FanFest and More
When: July 12–16
Where: Citi Field and beyond
Tickets: mlb.com and stubhub.com
The best players in the National and American Leagues are coming to Citi Field for the Major League Baseball All-Star Game on July 16. This marks the first time the Midsummer Classic has come to New York City since 2008, when the old Yankee Stadium hosted. It's been longer still since the game's been played at the Mets' home park—the Senior Circuit prevailed at Shea in 1964, the year the dearly departed stadium first opened its gates. The 2013 game itself marks the climax to five days of All-Star events. And while tickets to the All-Star Game will set you back a pretty penny, you may find favorable StubHub deals for other events like FanFest and the Legends & Celebrity Softball Game (featuring, among others, Dwight Gooden). For details, check out our article.
New York City Triathlon. Photo: Joe Buglewicz
New York City Triathlon
When: July 14, 5:50am
Where: Finishes in Central Park
More Info: nyctri.com
New Yorkers are renowned multitaskers, always juggling priorities in this fast-moving metropolis. This race challenges participants to do three things at once (well, in rapid succession)—swim, cycle and run a grueling course (1,500 meters in the water, 40K on bike and 10K on foot). Sorry, potential competitors, registration is closed—but this event is a sight to behold for spectators as more than 3,000 athletes dive into the Hudson, pedal along the West Side Highway and then somehow muster the strength to run through Central Park, the final leg of the race.
Street Hoops
When: West 4th Street League seven days a week through July 25 (playoff information TBA); Rucker Park season runs through August 22 (Monday–Friday); Dyckman Park July and August schedules TBA (season typically runs through August); Orchard Beach Hoops in the Sun season runs through August 11 (on Saturdays and Sundays).
Where: West 4th Street Courts, Holcombe Rucker Park, Dyckman Park and Orchard Beach
Some of New York City's most exciting basketball is played on the blacktop, and you can catch the action at no cost. For details, check out our roundup from last season, and stay tuned for updates.
Looking Ahead:
August 10–11: Hong Kong Dragon Boat Festival, Flushing Meadows–Corona Park
August 26–September 9: US Open Tennis Championships, Billie Jean King USTA National Tennis Center
September 21: Islanders vs. Devils (preseason), Barclays Center
January 26, 2014: Devils vs. Rangers, Yankee Stadium

Schools see promise in survey
A cap-piercing budget is looking more likely
1 2 Next page >
The Baldwin School District recently conducted a phone and Internet survey of parents and residents to gauge their receptiveness to a 2013-14 budget that would exceed the state's tax levy increase cap for the district of 3.14 percent.
The district is facing a funding shortfall of more than $6 million as it looks toward the next school year — a deficit that, under the cap, would force drastic cuts to programs including arts and music, kindergarten, athletics, extracurricular activities and more. The district is exploring the idea that a 60 percent supermajority of residents might be willing to vote to exceed the cap. The phone survey was an attempt to gauge how large a tax increase the community might be open to.
The survey was conducted with parents of district students on Jan. 14, and was also available at www.baldwinschools.org between Jan. 14 and 16. The online version, the district said, was for residents who do not have children in district schools or who missed the initial calls.
The survey consisted of four questions. Below are the queries, and the distribution of public response.
Question 1: Would you be willing to vote for a tax levy increase above the tax cap to prevent significant program cuts?
Agree: 51.5
Disagree: 33.5
Undecided: 15
Question 2: Would you be willing to pay about $750 more each year in taxes, for the average household, with no major program cuts?
Agree: 40
Disagree: 48
Undecided: 12
Question 3: Would you be willing to pay about $550 more each year in taxes, for the average household, with some modest program cuts?
Agree: 40
