Associated Press Release
Gulf Breeze, FL- November 11, 2012
A Panhandle woman has been arrested after authorities said they found the bodies of six animals in an abandoned home.
Authorities say 40-year-old Toni Phelps abandoned the home last spring because she was facing foreclosure. Santa Rosa County Sheriff's deputies found three dogs and three cats dead in the house on Tuesday. Authorities said it looked like the animals scavenged for food to survive, eating furniture cushions and whatever they could find.
Phelps faces multiple charges including causing cruel death, pain or suffering to an animal and abandonment of an animal.
The Pensacola News Journal reports she turned herself in to the Escambia County Jail on Friday and was released after posting $36,500 bond.
She is not allowed to own any animals as part of her release.

Perhaps this is a mis-titled post, perhaps not. Although many of the "fans" and fans on BDC have been pretty disappointed in the Bruins play as of late and have called for Claude's head.. yet again. They can't score goals. The system sucks. They've tuned him out. Maybe they have. Who is to say, none of us are in that locker room.
But IMO all of that is on the players, the system is what it is and its not the life-sucking, creativity-destroying entity that many Claude-haters claim it is. Its ALL on the players and that's what disappoints me the most. The team that I love to watch has changed... and I hope they change back.
2012-2013: G/G 2.65 Rank: 13th
2011-2012: G/G 3.17 Rank: 3rd
2010-2011: G/G 2.98 Rank: 5th
2009-2010: G/G 2.39 Rank: Last
Those are some pretty stupid players if they have baled on a system that had made them a top of the league scoring team.
Just my two cents... hope they re-buy in the playoffs!
Go Bruins!!

Hi, everyone,
I'm exploring the feasibility of modifying the global address list from a program (in our case Ruby on Rails). I read on the Wiki that we shouldn't do this through LDAP and that it should be done through the admin tools. Is there any programmatic way to add addresses programatically? These would be aliases, not new accounts (and, in fact, they'd be aliases that point to an account on the system). For example, we might have an account email@example.com on the Zimbra server. We'd like to be able to add aliases like firstname.lastname@example.com, email@example.com, etc. to the address book (mostly so that users can get to them easily). This mailbox would then be read by another program that would apply some rule based on the To: field.

1. Anyone have the animation that was a leg on a crank doing the pedal stroke listing each muscle that was used in each part of the stroke?
2. Also on a side note, I always see it mentioned that people who ride A LOT develop like 3 out of 4 of the leg muscles and one of them doesnt get "worked out" which leads to a tightness or something like that. Anyone know what muscle is the one that gets left out on a bike?

One approach is to use a migration service that can help from start to finish for a smooth and successful SAP migration. This is all fine and well, but there are still issues to consider after the go-live date - is the business equipped to independently handle any ongoing data quality or integration needs down the road, or will this require another services engagement?
Another alternative is to provide the business with a re-usable, repeatable approach for SAP migration – one that also accounts for ongoing data quality and integration needs well beyond the go-live date given that data is said to degrade at 2% a month. While this may require more time and planning up-front, it's well outweighed by the long-term benefits of a self-sufficient information management infrastructure to help ensure end user adoption and governance over time. Seeing that 2010 is also the beginning of a new decade, wouldn't this year be a great time to start planning/preparing for a re-usable, repeatable approach for SAP migrations? As the proverb goes – "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."
Whether it's finishing/migrating left over resolutions from 2009 or making sure your enterprise has an information infrastructure in place for SAP migrations and beyond, there's no time like a new year to get things started.

I had a call a couple of weeks ago, asking if I could sub for a counselor at an eating disorders clinic. Without a second thought, I agreed…nothing tough, piece of cake.
She asked that I cover the topic of the Third Chakra and somehow link it with Laughter Yoga.
While researching, I learned that when the Third Chara is blocked or out of balance, one could experience digestive disorders, diabetes, hypoglycemia, weight problems, eating disorders, etc. Okay, but how to balance and unblock? The recommendation was to get moving in any way possible – exercise, dancing, jogging and finally, there it was, woohoo, laughing!
There were supposed to be six girls in the class, but only three showed up. All were very pretty, very young. As they straggled in, I cheerfully greeted each of them in exchange for barely audible responses. They sat down on their mats, took out notebooks and without a word, began writing with heads down, way down. Two were blond; one had long, dark hair. Of the three, the dark-haired girl's head sunk the lowest – none of them would look at me when I began speaking. With heads hanging low, I did not impress these girls with any part of my intelligent rendition about the Third Chakra…they could care less. All I could think was how long would it take for the next 120 minutes to pass. My mind could not even begin to wrap itself around the possibility of laughter with these three morose individuals.
Since the Third Chakra is the center for personal empowerment, our "I can" center, I thought maybe an exercise in saying "I can" and really meaning it, might be good for a start….not even. Barely opening their mouths, very feeble "I can's" dribbled out. Oh boy, this was really going to be fun.
Fortunately, I decided to bring music with me, so at this point, instead of plowing into clapping or greeting laughter, I decided to put on a 7-minute Turkish Belly Dancing number, asked them to stand, close their eyes and just shake from head to toe with the music. Half-way through, I asked them to bend at the waste, relax, breathe, stretch and then we went back to shaking. First accomplishment, they removed their heavy winter coats, but somehow I could not see those three girls getting one thing out of a laughter session.
Spontaneously, I asked them to sit down and decided to tell them my personal story of my own planned suicide that was thwarted by laughter several years ago. Amazing – suddenly, I had their attention. All heads were up – they were looking at me and one girl even commented! I talked to them about the benefits of laughter, how it not only changed my life, but also had literally saved it. I then told them, before even one laughter exercise had been attempted, that their assignment from me was to laugh every day for at least one minute for absolutely no reason. To my amazement, they all nodded their heads in agreement!
So, we began, slowly, painfully slow - Greeting Laughter was one step above morose. Milkshake Laughter, maybe a 2 out 10, but when I started with gibberish, they went wild! We huddled together and it just kept going – they loved it and they were smiling! The dark-haired girl kept sniffing her underarms and finally announced that she smelled awful, so we did Stinky Underarm Laughter - literally sniffed one another which they also thought was pretty hilarious.
Okay, the time was passing….a little better. More music, "Twist and Shout"….they did well with that, but the cherry on the top was Madan's Grounding Dance. I had each girl take turns leading the group around the room, while chanting softly, "HoHo HaHa" and they loved it! Laughter meditation and guided imagery went well. I always end with my standard affirmations, "I love myself, I am wonderful, I am beautiful and I am soooooo sexy!" which brought forth full, toothy smiles, followed by a group hug, that broke off into individual ones as each of them quietly thanked me for coming. Who would have ever guessed?
Two of the girls were 20; the other, 22. All had severe eating disorders, one had been raped. Since I really have never done anything but a straight LY session at the clinic, I asked how their days were spent – one yoga class for one hour every morning and nothing but lectures the rest of the day. Repeatedly they told me how bored they were and how they did not know how they would get through the next six weeks of this program. One of the girls lamented that she was going to have to spend her 21st birthday there. The dark-haired girl, who had once been a model, told me she was basically homeless – when released from the program, she would have nowhere to go. The third girl was local, had lost her job because of her illness and had moved back with her parents. All of this I learned within a two-hour period from three girls who initially could not lift their heads off their chests. Wow, the power of love and laughter!

Latvia's Ernests Gulbis is ready for his close-up.
The 19-year old giant-killer continued his remarkable run at the French Open making his first Grand Slam quarterfinal by hitting 11 aces and defeating Frenchie Michael Llodra 6-4, 7-6 (4), 6-3. He'll face Aussie Open champ Novak Djokovic for a place in the semifinals.
Nole, for his part, won't be taking this match lightly. The Serb spent time and practiced with Ernests a few years back at Niki Pilic's tennis academy in Munich, Germany and said,
He was destroying me in practices. I couldn't win a match. Practice? No chance.But what about Ernests' current on-court success? The lass from Latvia puts his it down to pure and simple hardwork and smarter tennis:
I practised well for three weeks and worked on my physical condition and I changed some tactics. For example, one year ago I was playing some pretty stupid clay-court tennis. I'd go for winners when I didn't need to and it was more hard-court tennis.Could there be an upset brewing on the red clay of Paris? Stay tuned.

CHICAGO (AP) -- Gone are the days when young voters weren't taken seriously.
In 2008, they helped elect Barack Obama, supporting him by a 2-1 margin.
But that higher profile has landed them in the middle of the debate over some state laws that regulate voter registration and how people identify themselves at the polls.
Since the last election, several states have tried to limit or ban the use of student IDs as voter identification.
Proponents say the laws are intended to combat voter fraud. Others see these efforts as attempts to squelch the aspirations of the budding young voting bloc, and are using that claim to try to get more young people fired up.

There isn't an IRS scandal. It wasn't approved by Obama.
There is a separate entity that oversees the IRS. It is known as the Inspector General for Tax Administration. Look it up.
In organizational terms, the Inspector General for Tax Administration comes under the ambit of the Treasury Department. But it is independent of the Department and all other agencies.
Five days into the I.R.S. brouhaha, and things are proceeding on two distinct tracks. On the political track, hysteria has taken hold, as evidenced by President Obamas decision to force the tax agencys acting head, Steven Miller, to resign. On the substantive front, we now have preliminary answers to two key questions: What did the agency do wrong? And who ordered it to target conservative groups? Notwithstanding Millers resignation, which the President himself announced on Tuesday evening, the answers appear to be: not nearly as much as recent headlines suggest; and, nobody in the Obama Administration.
On Monday afternoon, the office of the Inspector General for Tax Administration, which spent months interviewing employees of the I.R.S. department that deals with tax-exempt organizations, and going through its records, released a fifty-four-page report. With President Obama denouncing the tax agencys targeting of conservative groups as outrageous in advance of the reports publication, and with Republicans trying to cast this as the new WatergateMy question is, Whos going to jail? John Boehner saidit seemed reasonable to expect that there would be one or two bombshells. And there were. They just werent of the type that George Will and Mitch McConnell had been hoping for.
As far as Obamas potential involvement and vulnerability goesand thats what everybody in Washington really cares abouthere is the key passage in the report (EO stands for Exempt Organizations and the Determinations Unit is the office in Cincinnati):
We asked the Acting Commissioner, Tax Exempt and Government Entities Division; the Director, EO; and Determinations Unit personnel if the criteria were influenced by any individual or organization outside the IRS. All of these officials stated that the criteria were not influenced by any individual or organization outside the IRS.
Come on, I can hear Maine Senator Susan Collins and others saying. Are you so deep into the tank for Obama that you are seriously suggesting a group of low-level bureaucrats in Ohio came up with the idea of setting aside, for special review, applications from groups whose names contained the words Tea Party, Patriots, or 9/12 Project? No, I am not making that suggestion. It comes from an agency that Congress created in 1999 to provide independent oversight of the I.R.S. In organizational terms, the Inspector General for Tax Administration comes under the ambit of the Treasury Department. But it is independent of the Department and all other agencies located therein. Since 2004, it has been headed by J. Russell George, a native of Brooklyn and a former prosecutor in Queens, who was appointed by President George W. Bush. The lead author of the report, Gregory D. Kutz, is a career public servant and forensic auditor who used to work for the Government Accountability Office, the investigative arm of Congress.
Here, again, is the report (BOLO stands for Be On the Lookout):
[T]he Determinations Unit developed and implemented inappropriate criteria in part due to insufficient oversight provided by management. Specifically, only first-line management approved references to the Tea Party in the BOLO listing criteria before it was implemented. As a result, inappropriate criteria remained in place for more than 18 months.
If you are a Republican member of the House Ways and Means Committee, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, or the Senate Finance Committee, all of which are rushing to schedule hearings on this great national scandal, such statements dont offer much in the way of encouragement.
Never fear! Our intrepid representatives will come up with something. Rather than focussing on the body of the report, todays Times reports, they are fixing on a single entry in the reports appendix, which revealsshock! horror!that on August 4, 2011, I.R.S. officials in Washington, who by then knew about the Cincinnati offices targeting of conservative groups, met with the I.R.S.s chief counsel so that everyone would have the latest information on the issue.
You can see where this is going. Maybe the I.R.S.s chief counsel, an Obama appointee by the name of William J. Wilkins, informed the Treasury Departments chief counsel at the time, George W. Madison, who, in turn, told his boss, Tim Geithner, who, as we all know, was one of President Obamas favorites and could surely be trusted to pass along to him any potentially troubling news. What we dont know, at this point, is whether it jumped the fence from the I.R.S. to the White House, McConnell, the G.O.P. leader in the Senate, said on Monday. But we do know this: we cant trust the Administration to be forthcoming on the details of this scandal
Good luck with that line of attack, fellas. Doubtless, the various congressional committees will haul up before them a variety of officials from the I.R.S., the Inspector Generals office, and the Treasury Department. But unless they come up with something thats not in the report, they are going to have a great deal of difficulty making this one stick to Obama.

409 Summit, Suite 3200Yankton, SD 57078
Your voice is created when air moves past mucous membranes that are stretched over your larynx, better known as vocal cords. Proper care and use of your voice improves the likelihood of having a healthy voice for your entire lifetime.
Voice problems occur with a change in the voice, often described as hoarseness, roughness, or a raspy quality. People with voice problems often complain about or notice changes in pitch, loss of voice, loss of endurance, and sometimes a sharp or dull pain associated with voice use. Other voice problems may accompany a change in singing ability that is most notable in the upper singing range. A more serious problem is indicated by spitting up blood or when blood is present in the mucus.
Your voice is most affected by colds and infections. If your voice does not return to normal within two weeks, you need to see a medical doctor.
Hoarseness is having difficulty producing sound when trying to speak, or a change in the pitch or quality of the voice. The voice may sound weak, very breathy, scratchy, or husky.
Hoarseness is usually caused by a problem in the vocal cords. Most cases of hoarseness are associated with inflammation of the larynx (laryngitis).
Hoarseness that lingers for weeks or months may be caused by a variety of problems. Some causes are minor, while others are serious.
Laryngitis is swelling and irritation (inflammation) of the voice box (larynx) that is usually associated with hoarseness or loss of voice.
The voice box (larynx) is located at the top of the airway to the lungs (trachea). The larynx contains the vocal cords. When the vocal cords become inflamed or infected, they swell. This can cause hoarseness, and may sometimes block the airway.
The most common form of laryngitis is an infection caused by a virus. It may also be caused by:
Several forms of laryngitis occur in children that can lead to dangerous or fatal respiratory blockage. These forms include:

Creating Custom TaillightsWritten by on November 1, 2011 Contributors: Rick Amado Fitting '54 Merc lenses in a '51 Olds
In the evolution of many mild customs, a taillight change is necessary in order to improve the flow and lines of the car. Some '50s cars, such as the '51 Oldsmobile, came with some rather unattractive taillights, while others featured classic designs that were frequently swapped onto other custom cars. When Highway 99 Hot Rods started building Jared Roethlisberger's '51 Oldsmobile, a pair of '54 Mercury taillights were found in a box of parts that came with the car and he decided to use them. Since every car and every taillight is different, making a swap like this always requires a bit of ingenuity and fabrication. Follow along as we show you how we cleaned up the rear quarters of Jared's Olds by swapping the stock taillights for these '54 Merc taillights.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
We started the job with a pair of '54 Mercury lenses and the '51 Olds quarter-panels stripped of the factory taillights and trim. These lenses showed up with the car; thenightprowlers.com and mercuryland.com are two potential online sources.The first step was to determine exactly where we wanted to mount the lenses. Using a felt-tip pen, we drew a few options on the quarter-panel until we liked what we saw.Continuing the mockup, we cut away some of the quarter-panel so that we could fit the lens in place to see how it looks.By adding some duct tape to simulate sheetmetal, we were able to determine how much of the lens we wanted to cover.The reflector fit nicely into the lens. A hole for the bulb socket and mounting tabs will be added later.Since we were starting with only the '54 lenses, rather than complete taillight assemblies, we needed to fabricate reflectors and mounting brackets for the lenses. We started by cutting out a cardboard template.The reflector fit nicely into the lens. A hole for the bulb socket and mounting tabs will be added later.
With the framework complete it was time to start shaping some sheetmetal pieces to blend the quarters and the lenses. Four pieces were needed for each quarter. We pounded the steel (18-gauge again) into shape over a homemade sand bag and then used a small power hammer to smooth out the pieces.As each piece of the framework was added we kept checking the fit of the lens to make sure everything was OK.As each of the pieces of sheetmetal started to take shape, they were trimmed to fit over the framework.Notice where additional sheetmetal was removed below the lens, and upper and lower tabs were fabricated from 18-gauge steel to hold the lens securely in place.We continued to form the four sheetmetal pieces for each side, getting them closer to the desired shape.Once the shaping and trimming was completed, we tack-welded the pieces in place and once again checked the fit of the lens.Here you can see where we had to make some relief cuts in the quarter-panel to make a smooth transition from the factory steel to the new pieces of sheetmetal.
It looks a lot better after an expert application of a little body filler by "Rotten" Rodney Bauman.Here it is with most of the welding completed. At this point we still had to add the previously made small framework pieces that fit around the ridges of the lenses. Each individual piece was welded in place separately.

Yes, yes, Gorilla and Scooter Bob built a totally bitchen bike. Moving on... How's progress on the UCE Fireball going?Scott
Rocker arm prototypes for the UCE project have been shipped and are on the way to us for evaluation.Things are progressing, even if slowly.
When you do piston development, do you need to do it 100% from scratch? Or can you get 'blanks' of some sort that are about right and mill them to exactly what you want?Scott
Since we already know that the AVL piston squish is not in the proper spec, and we also know that the stock UCE squish is not in the proper spec,(contrary to others' conclusions) the AVL piston would require being set to a different deck height in the bore than the stock piston is set at, which can be done with some small amount of work involved.
I know, right? Those engineers at RE are sure dumb not to get the squish area JUST right on every one of the 150K bikes a year that they make! Seems to ME that they run pretty good ..... and they'll run better with the AVL piston in 'em - especially since it's the same nominal bore size, weight, pin height and all .... but with a flat top. A feller COULD spend a fortune or a lifetime to re-invent a AVL piston - or he could just buy one and put it in there and have a little more zoot ...... Just sayin' ..... and concludin' ......
I don't doubt that replacing the existing UCE piston with a AVL piston will raise the compression ratio (assuming the cylinder is mounted at the same height) and result in some power increase. This increased power does come with some risk though.The revised combustion area with a flat topped piston may be more prone to pre-ignition or detonation which the relieved dome piston helps to prevent.Using higher octane fuel may be necessary to keep this from happening. On the other hand, it may not be enough by itself. While this AVL piston swap is a simple thing to do, it will not maximize the power that can be obtained though.When maximum power is the goal, improving the entire combustion area with a properly designed piston crown and modifying the combustion area to create a proven squash type combustion chamber is needed.IMO, the original UCE combustion zone was designed to create modest gains in power and high reliability while giving the best fuel economy while using low octane fuel. This goal was reached with the existing design. Ace on the other hand is looking to get the greatest power out of the engine without sacrificing reliability or creating a engine that needs 100 + octane fuel.While using the AVL piston in place of the original UCE piston is an option, making it the only option would tie his hands and keep him from reaching his goal of developing the maximum power possible.At least, that's the way I see it.
While this AVL piston swap is a simple thing to do, it will not maximize the power that can be obtained though.
But it WILL maximise the amount of money left in your wallet - I just can't WAIT 'til the Gashouse Gorilla takes HIS stock, dished piston out and tries the AVL slug ....... !

Around the World with ATH: Morocco, South Africa and Israel
We continue to hear from fans all over the world…let's meet some more Royals fans!
From Jodee in Morocco: "I'm an avid Royals fan, currently living in Casablanca, Morocco – Northwest Africa. I visit the Royals website regularly, and just stumbled upon the 'Around the Horn in KC' page featuring the couple who is living in South Africa.
I moved here to Casablanca this past August, as I am teaching internationally at the Casablanca American School. I'll be here for another year and a half, but will be heading back to the Midwest and Kansas City in June for summer break. I can't WAIT to get out to the K for some games while I'm back. I've been a Royals fan since 1980, when George Brett became my hero as I watched him flirt with .400. I grew up in Iowa, and used to listen to the Royals on the radio when I was a kid. Moving to Kansas City in
2000 made it much easier to watch my 'Boys in Blue'. Through thick and (very) thin, I've remained a loyal fan. I truly LOVE my Royals.
I will keep up with the Royals this year via the internet (7:05 games will start at midnight here), and possibly recording games via my Slingbox.
Go Royals!!"
From Josh in Israel: "I recently moved to Israel where I visited Kibbutz Gezer (Kansas City's sister city and kibbutz) in the fabulous land of Israel. A la Field of Dreams, out in the middle of nowhere, George Toma (former Royals groundskeeper) designed a state of the art baseball field. There are several signs on the field connecting the Kansas City and Israeli communities, including George Toma's name. I am standing next to Naftali Schwartz, Yoni Schwartz, & Akiva Schwartz who all grew up in Kansas City, but relocated to Israel 10 years ago. Naftali, just recently finished his Army duty. We are happy to have him back. All of us listen and watch Denny and Ryan all the way in the Middle-East.
Go Royals!
And from Michael, who works seasonally at Kauffman Stadium: My name is Michael Ward and I'm a seasonal worker with the Royals and originally from South Africa. I read the blog on South Africa with pride and great interest.
This is my second year with the Royals and work in Special Events. In December 2010 I was invited to attend a sporting awards function in Cape Town hosted by the Minister of Sport in the Western Cape Government in South Africa. The awards function is to honor sportsman for service rendered to their sporting communities over the last 40 years…baseball had not received or been recognized before and was included for the first time. I was honored to receive the prestigious honor and highest award of "Baseball Legend" with four other baseball players.
My first introduction to baseball was as a spectator in 1958 at the age of 8. I started Battswood Baseball Club in 1968 with other soccer players and still an active playing member. Unification of baseball took place in 1992. I represented the National body as technical Director for all tournaments held in South Africa and later serviced as National Coaching Director and privileged to manage the first unified team on a goodwill tour of Europe in 1992 and technical advisor to the Olympic bid committee in 1996. I had the honor of meeting the great Japanese home run king Mr. Oh at the Barcelona Olympics. I met with the architects of the Olympic Stadiums in Barcelona and initiated a project with the University of Cape Town on stadium for baseball in Cape Town as my interest and vocation were construction and project management.

Paramount executives have teamed up with iconic ice cream brand Ben & Jerry's to promote the highly-anticipated "Anchorman 2."
Called Scotchy Scotch Scotch, the flavor is inspired by fake TV newsman Ron Burgundy, whose drink of choice is the malt whisky.
The frozen treat is a mixture of butterscotch ice cream with ribbons of butterscotch swirl.
This isn't the first product tie-in for the long-awaited sequel; Will Ferrell plays the quirky newsman in a series of ads for Dodge.
The movie is set to be released in December.

Arena Grand Prix – Mesa editorial coverage is proudly sponsored by Arena USA. Visit ArenaUSA.com for more information on our sponsor. For all the latest coverage, check out our event coverage page.
Commentary by Jeff Commings
MESA, Arizona, April 25. I have always been impressed by swimmers who can take on tough doubles at an in-season meet and do very well. Not only are their bodies limping from hard training, but the jet lag of travel often sticks around long enough to be a factor in most of the swims.
Tonight at the Arena Grand Prix in Mesa, Ariz., the theme of the night was "Doing the Double." Tyler Clary, Elizabeth Beisel, Michael Weiss and Megan Romano (who swam three races in finals) were some of those who had minutes in between races to regroup and show up behind the blocks again for a tough race, diving in with lactic acid still coursing through their muscles.
If there is to be one positive effect of Michael Phelps' time in the sport, it's the belief that the way to be a great swimmer is to not only excel in multiple events, but be able to race multiple times in one session. Missy Franklin has shown immense talent in that area, and Ryan Lochte does it often – though he said he wasn't in the right physical condition to handle a 200 free-200 back double tonight.
Beisel has won my award for toughest swimmer. Not only did she do the 400 IM-200 back double tonight, but she's entered in the 200 IM, 200 fly and 800 freestyle. Luckily, she only has to do the 800 once, but maybe the finish judge or one of the timers in her lane should be on standby to pull her out of the pool when she's done.
Here's an idea to keep the crowd entertained at the Arena Grand Prix meets. After each championship final, an actor (who knows how to swim) should put on some kind of comedy performance in the water. Think of him as a circus clown between acts. There's such a deflation of energy after every swimming event, even the big-time competitions, that something is needed to keep the crowd smiling and energetic. At football and basketball games, the cheerleaders help with that. Swim meets need a circus clown, or scantily clad cheerleaders to the energy flowing.
Overheard: "You can definitely tell which swimmers don't train outdoors every day."

How I Turned $75 Into $450
In 20 years of credit card use, I'd never paid an annual fee. It was a hard and fast rule, like paying my bills on time and never carrying a balance. But a month ago, I got an offer I couldn't refuse: 6% cash back on groceries, and 3% on gas. The catch: This upgrade would carry a $75 annual fee.

The CW's twisted thriller 'Cult' premieres Tuesday
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The CW premieres "Cult," its twisty new 13-episode murder thriller, at 9 p.m. Tuesday, and I'm quite curious about it.
It's about a journalist, Jeff Sefton (Matt Davis, "The Vampire Diaries"), who is investigating the possible link between his brother's disappearance and the rabid fans of a hit TV show called "Cult." (Yes, the show and the show-within-the-show are both called "Cult.")
It also stars Robert Knepper (aka "Prison Break's" T-Bag) as the show-within-a-show's cult leader, Alona Tal ("Supernatural") as the former cult member-turned-cop out to get him and Jessica Lucas ("Melrose Place" remake) as a researcher for the fictional show who teams up with Jeff on the case.
All of this sounds intriguing, but I'm also interested for a different reason: I want to see how my memory matches up with it.
See, the CW is one of the few networks that still sends advanced screener copies of its shows, and sometimes those screeners are very advanced. After the upfronts in May, when the networks announce their fall schedules, the CW sends out rough cuts of the new shows it's just announced.
In last year's batch, I was very interested in two -- "Arrow" and "Cult" -- and mildly interested in a third, "Beauty and the Beast." I had them at my house when my friend invited me to hang out, so I said, "I've got some new shows that sound like they could be good."
We watched "Cult" first.
It was the first time, I think, that I've watched a press screener with someone else, and I have to say, it wasn't a great start. Throughout the episode, I kept thinking, "Please get better, or she's never going to let me suggest anything again!"
It's been at least eight months since we watched it, so I don't remember specifics. I do, however, remember a huge sense of disappointment and a general terribleness about the show.
Since it has been so long, though, maybe I'm misremembering. Or maybe they've had time to tweak it. That happens to a lot of shows, especially ones that debut midseason. I haven't gotten a new copy, so I don't know.
That's why I'll be tuning in again Tuesday, and watching it with fresh eyes. As I said, the concept is interesting and could be creepy (the new trailer makes it look so), plus Robert Knepper plays evil fabulously, so I'm hoping for the best.

DETROIT (Reuters) – Ford Motor Co said on Tuesday it is recalling 100,610 vehicles in North America in six separate actions.
About 92,000 of the vehicles have a potential problem with front axles that run to right wheels and may have not been properly installed during assembly. That may cause the axle to move outward over time and eventually become disengaged.
There have been no injuries, crashes or deaths related to this issue or any of the six issues in the half dozen recalls, a Ford spokeswoman said.
The front right axle issue is a potential hazard in 2013-2014 Ford Taurus, Flex, and Interceptor models, as well as Lincoln MKS and MKT models, and 2012-2014 Ford Edge and 2014 Lincoln MKX models.
About 83,000 of the recalled vehicles are in the United States and federalized territories, along with about 8,200 in Canada and 600 in Mexico, Ford said.
The next-largest recall among the six announced on Tuesday covers about 5,264 model year 2011-2014 Ford F59 Commercial Stripped Chassis vehicles in which the electrical system may short-circuit and possibly lead to a fire. No fires have been reported, Ford said.
Also recalled were about 2,100 model year 2014 Ford Escape crossover vehicles that may have panorama roof glass that was not glued properly during assembly.
The other recalls involved 368 Transit Connect vehicles from the 2014 model year in Puerto Rico for a fluid reservoir cap issue, about 200 Ford Fiesta sedans from the 2014 model year that may have leaking fuel tanks and about 600 Ford F52 Motorhome Stripped Chassis and F59 Commercial Stripped Chassis vehicles that have a potential issue with the brakes.
Subaru of America is recalling 8,557 older model cars in the United States equipped with potentially defective air bag inflators made by Japan's Takata Corp, the automaker and U.S. safety regulators said on Tuesday.
Subaru joins seven automakers that last month recalled vehicles in some high-humidity regions at the request of the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
While there is no official estimate of the number of vehicles that may be affected by the Takata air bag issue, U.S. safety regulators have estimated they could number more than 1 million.
Subaru did not limit it recall to mainly southern U.S. states, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the U.S. Virgin Islands, as most of the other automakers did. Subaru cars affected are the 2003 and 2004 Legacy, Outback and Baja models as well as 2004 Impreza.
A Subaru spokesman said the company, a unit of Fuji Heavy Industries, was not aware of any crashes, injuries or deaths related to the recall issue.
Last week, Honda Motor Co. expanded its recall of vehicles with Takata air bag inflators to include California.
A ninth automaker may be impacted by the Takata air bag inflator issue. In late June, Mitsubishi Motors Corp. was mentioned along with Subaru as a possible candidate for the recall that NHTSA initially said had affected seven automakers.

14th Annual Goodguys Columbus Nationals - Kickin' It In ColumbusWritten by on November 1, 2011 The PHR Street Machine Autocross and the Street Machine of the Year made the 14th Annual Goodguys Nationals a screamin' good time
The Goodguys Rod & Custom Association knows how to throw a hot rod party, and the Goodguys Nationals in Columbus is the granddaddy of them all. We can't say for sure what makes the Ohio Expo Center an epicenter for all things high octane; maybe it's the physical proximity to the greatest selection of muscle cars on the planet (that being the heart of the Midwest), or maybe it's just the sheer size of the place, but hot rodders and spectators come from all over the country just to make the scene.
Walk through the car show and your senses are assaulted by the color, creativity, power, and energy of the place. The pungent odors of oil, gas, and burning rubber mix joyously with deep-fried funnel cakes, barbecued turkey legs, and burgers on the grill. A phalanx of car builders, speed vendors, and hot rodders mix and converge in a random car orgy that spans a three-day weekend following the Fourth of July holiday. Even Congress got involved, naming the Friday kicking off the event as National Collector Car Appreciation Day.
Our interests, however, were focused on two activities: the PHR Street Machine Autocross (Columbus was one of five autocrosses sponsored by the mag that awards a custom jacket to the winner of each), and the annual Street Machine of the Year competition, sponsored by Optima Batteries. As it so happens, both of these activities merge at the autocross course where regular guys, vendors, car builders, and pro racers square off against each other in sometimes lopsided battles. It's all in good fun, and rest assured that if you're singled out for a friendly ribbing from autocross announcer Chad Reynolds, you're in fine company.
The pungent odors of oil, gas, and burning rubber mix joyously with deep-fried funnel cakes, barbecued turkey legs, and burgers on the grill.
Noteworthy is the fact that many of the industry's top suspension, tire, steering, and brake vendors are present, and indeed participating with their own cars or those of their customers. In a matter of speaking, this separates the men from the boys; if a company takes its goods on the road to the Goodguys autocross, you can bet they are exposing their products to the most extreme public scrutiny. For PHR readers with a competition bent, this is good news. Go to the Goodguys autocross, and you're sure to find a wealth of practical experience for your steed, not to mention great on-site support.
The PHR Street Machine Autocross moves next to the Speedway Nationals at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on September 16 - 18. (Yep, you read right: street machines at the brickyard!) Then, it's on to the season finale at the Fall Nationals in Del Mar, California, on November 25 - 27. Make sure you hit us up for all the action! In the meantime, head over to PopularHotRodding.com to see the Columbus photo extravaganza; we've got tons of extra photos!
…rest assured that if you're singled out for a friendly ribbing from autocross announcer Chad Reynolds, you're in fine company.

Historically, the SMOY winner's circle has been populated by Pro Street cars, and later by pristine Pro Touring machines that were little more than eye candy. That, however, has changed now that Goodguys has installed a policy that all SMOY competitors must run through the autocross—and you better not take it easy either. In just a few short years, that small difference has had a huge impact on how the country's top g-Machines have been built. This year's SMOY award went to the Roadster Shop for Alex Covington's "Innovator" '67 Nova. The Roadster Shop's Phil Gerber piloted Covington's LSX-powered Innovator through the autocross to a best lap of 35.300 seconds, making it 17th fastest out of a field of 70 Street Machines that contained many pure race cars. Congratulations are also in order for the other four SMOY finalists: Joe Brown (Lafayette, Louisiana; '67 Mustang), Gerry Kerna (Cranb

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (CBS19) -- Washington & Lee University says a traffic accident has killed one student and injured nine others.
Authorities say Kelsey Durkin of New Canaan died in a single-vehicle wreck Tuesday morning in Rockbridge County.
Six students were treated at a hospital in Lexington and released. Three students were transported from the Lexington hospital to other area hospitals.
Virginia State Police say that the vehicle's driver was charged with driving under the influence.
William & Lee University President Kenneth P. Ruscio released a statement, saying in part:
"Our hearts go out to the family of Kelsey Durkin and her many friends on this campus. Kelsey, a senior from New Canaan, Connecticut, was the student who died in the accident early this morning.
"There are no words to express the grief we feel over the loss of someone taken from us so suddenly and tragically. In the days ahead, in the weeks and months ahead, our sadness will be lessened only by the memories of her time with us."

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Gov. John Kasich proposed a sweeping budget Monday that reduces state income and small business taxes through increases in other areas, boosts school funding and expands Medicaid services with help from the federal government.
The Republican governor said the $63.1 billion, two-year spending blueprint represents "the right mix" of supporting economic development and helping the needy.
"That's the hallmark of this administration," he said. "It's not enough that some people can do well. Everyone in Ohio must have the prospect of doing better."

Ohio Gov. John Kasich presents the fiscal year 2014-15 executive budget proposal during a press conference Monday in Columbus.
He predicted that the state will have gone from a $7.7 billion deficit to a surplus of as much as $1.9 billion by the end of the budget cycle, triggering an estimated 4 percent tax refund from the rainy day fund to all Ohioans. The growth is being fueled by bonding of the Ohio Turnpike, bonding of the state liquor operation through Kasich's private nonprofit group JobsOhio, economic gains, and added revenue from expanded gambling.
Kasich's tax reform package incorporates a significant rewrite of Ohio's tax code that delivers $1.4 billion in tax cuts over three years. Kasich said it reflects the state's shift from a manufacturing to service economy. It reduces the tax rate on virtually all small businesses by 50 percent, cuts the income tax rate statewide by 20 percent over three years, and lowers the sales tax rate from 5.5 percent to 5 percent while imposing the tax on more services.
The income tax would be cut by 7.5 percent this year, by another 7.5 percent in 2014 and by an additional 5 percent in 2015.
"There's going to be a hot time in the old town tonight," Kasich said of what he predicts will be the positive effects on the economy from the changes.
"Gov. Kasich's tax proposals are welcome, because they address Ohio's biggest long-term problem: sluggish growth in job opportunities and incomes," Ohio University economics professor Richard Vedder said in a statement released by the administration.
The revisions will impose sales taxes on professional services - including lawyers, lobbyists and accountants - in a move that is sure to set off a contentious policy fight at the Statehouse. States that have tried something similar, including Michigan and Florida, have quickly had to backpedal amid concerns implementation was unworkable. The Ohio plan continues to exempt from the tax some widely used daily services, including child care, housing and medical services.
The administration hopes to ease some of the opposition by reducing the overall sales tax rate while expanding the tax to other areas. Kasich said the time has come to rewrite the code to include those services.
Democrats said Kasich's proposal didn't qualify as a tax cut - noting that the sales tax on services would extend to sports and concert tickets, cable TV and scientific research.
"When the governor unveiled his budget today, he tried to gloss over a massive tax increase," said Senate Minority Leader Eric Kearney of Cincinnati. "But, the bottom line is, he's raising taxes on Ohioans by billions of dollars."
The budget package also incorporates Kasich's answer to Ohio's unconstitutional school funding plan. The overhaul outlined last week delivers $1.2 billion in additional funding to districts over the biennium, which the budget couples with a new formula for higher education funding that ties half of state subsidies for public colleges and universities to the number of students who graduate, rather than attend, their institutions.
The governor has also opted to support expansion of Medicaid under the federal health care law, providing health care coverage to potentially half a million uninsured Ohioans. He said he still opposes the health care mandate aspect of President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act, but he predicted funding chaos especially for small-city hospitals by rejecting the expansion offer contained in the law.

"You can't catch a walk."
In his Major League debut in 1975, right-hander Mike Norris threw a complete-game shutout to lead the Oakland Athletics to a 1-0 victory over the Chicago White Sox. Quite a start to a Major League career, right?
Norris shared that memory, along with a few others, at the first Legends Luncheon of the year, which a handful of us from the front office had the honor of attending this afternoon. The former Oakland pitcher went on to pitch 52 complete games in his 10-year career, including 24 in 1980 when he posted a 22-9 record. Impressive stats….
We haven't seen a complete game from a Royals starter this season, but they have tossed six or more innings in 20 of our 32 games. It's a work in progress.
One pitcher in particular that is making a dent in the innings category is tonight's starter, Jorge De La Rosa. The left-hander (3-2, 3.38 ERA) has tossed six or more innings in five of his six starts and is averaging nearly seven innings per start this season. That's an improvement from last season when he averaged less than five innings with the Royals. Along with that, let's not forget DLR has been great at Kauffman this season, posting an A.L. best 0.82 ERA at home. Plus – a DLR note from the game notes – he has walked only 1.6 batters per nine innings, which is good for fourth best in the A.L.
Alright, enough fun Jorge facts – here are your lineups…
For the Royals:
DeJesus – CF
Grudzielanek – 2B
Teahen – RF
Sweeney – DH
Gload – 1B
Butler – LF
Gordon – 3B
Pena – SS
LaRue – C
De La Rosa – P
For the A's:
Stewart – LF
Ellis – 2B
Chavez – 3B
Swisher – RF
Johnson – 1B
Crosby – SS
Cust – DH
Kendall – C
Snelling – CF
Gaudin – P

Roundup of Memorial Day events in suburban Milwaukee and Lake Country
There are many programs, parades and events on Memorial Day in suburban Milwaukee and Lake Country to honor those who lost their lives serving our country.
Here's a roundup of events on the Monday, May 30, federal holiday:
Menomonee Falls boys basketball coach Ben Farley to step down
A day after he accepted the head football coaching job at his alma mater Brookfield East, it was announced that Ben Farley will be stepping down as boys basketball coach at Menomonee Falls.
Farley, a guidance counselor at Falls, had served as Brookfield East's defensive coordinator for the last four years and will take over from Hall of Fame coach Tom Swittel, who resigned recently after leading East to a 48-17 record over the last six seasons.
Farley has recorded a 33-36 record in the last three years as Falls' head basketball coach including a fine 14-9 mark this past winter.
Falls Athletic Director Ryan Anderson was sad to see Farley go but understood the almost impossible constraints of trying to run both varsity football and basketball teams seeing as the seasons run back-to-back with each other.
Anderson said the Falls basketball job will be posted ASAP on the official posting site WECAN and all interested applicants are asked to send their resumes there.» Read Full Article

Brookfield committee again discusses TIF referendum option but takes no action
After months away from the topic, the city's legislative and licensing committee returned to talks about tax incremental financing districts Tuesday, May 17.
A legislative referral made by Aldermen Christopher Blackburn and Jerry Mellone last September would require all TIF requests with project costs of over $1 million to be voted on directly by the citizens of Brookfield.
The topic has been discussed on and off by the committee with a recent delay in order to allow the city attorney's office to research the issue.
At Tuesday's meeting, Assistant City Attorney Julie Aquavia delivered her findings to officials. Aquavia noted that "there are no statutory or case law provisions that would prevent the city from enacting an ordinance that would require a referendum by the city's electorate on the issue of whether to create a TIF district."
"The bottom line is: Yes, you could adopt an ordinance," City Attorney Karen Flaherty said.» Read Full Article
Brookfield Central, DSHA play to 1-1 tie, share GMC crown
Brookfield Central met Divine Savior Holy Angels on Tuesday night at Central to decide the Greater Metro Conference Championship. When the game was over, nothing had changed.
The Lancers (12-0-2) and Dashers (11-6-2) played to a 1-1 tie and finished on top of the GMC where they have been all season, both teams going 6-0-1. The Lancers, rated 32nd in the nation, were the top team in the state and DSHA was number 2.
The game got off to a fast start, when the Dashers got on the board at the 11:19 mark on a goal from junior forward Grace Lenz. But Central quickly countered at the 14:23 mark when star sophomore forward Emma Staszkiewicz beat a defender from the left side, made a 360 move and drilled a shot into the upper right corner of the net to tie the game at 1-1.
Ten minutes later, with lightning flashing out in the western skies, the match was stopped and fans were told to leave the bleachers. After about a 50-minute delay — which included a heavy downpour — both teams returned to the field and play resumed after a warmup.
No one threatened the rest of the half. Because of the long delay, halftime was only 5 minutes and the action resumed. Staszkiewicz had a near miss over the top of the goal in the 67th minute, but then hurt her wrist and had to leave the game. She did return.» Read Full Article

Ben Farley named new Brookfield East football coach
A former Brookfield East graduate and coach has been named Brookfield East football coach, a maneuver announced by athletics and activities director Jeremy Martin on May 24.
Ben Farley, who coached the Menomonee Falls boys basketball team, coached under former head coach Tom Swittel the past six years.
"He's ready," Swittel said. "He's a really good coach. Cory Golla (former athletics director) asked me, 'There is one guy we'd really like you to consider,'" Swittel recalled when he was hired. It was Ben Farley."
After talking to Farley, Swittel hired him. He coached defensive backs his first year and then added defensive coordinator to his duties the last five years. He also worked with the punt return team.
"He's been coaching football and basketball," Swittel said. "He has a great background. He was one of the all-time greats at East and an All-American safety at Whitewater. "He works hard, gets along with the players ... they should do really well under coach Farley's leadership."» Read Full Article
Bulldogs, Blue Sox lose in Land O'Lakes play
It was a tough weekend for the local Brookfield Land O'Lakes teams, as the Bulldogs dropped a 9-6 decision to West Bend in the home opener at McCoy Field and the Blue Sox lost, 11-1, at Pewaukee.
The West Bend 7 Up, losers of four in a row, and two straight in Land O' Lakes play, knocked off the first-place Bulldogs (3-0).
West Bend needed a spark, and it got one on the second Greg Basthemer pitch of the day to Sam Mattheis, who deposited a solo homer to give 7 Up the quick advantage.
"Even the outs were hit hard, and their hits were squared up," manager Jason Booth said of the visitors. That was no more true than with Jed Justman, who hit a home run along with two singles, and Matt Parrent, who had three hits, including a triple.» Read Full Article
Brookfield East boys second in Greater Metro Conference tennis tournament
Brookfield East finished second in the Greater Metro Conference Tournament on May 17-18 in Elm Grove.
Top-ranked Marquette (50) and second-ranked Brookfield East (45) finished one-two, as expected.
"We lost a really close match to Marquette at No. 3 doubles," coach Linda Lied said. "But even if we pulled that out, Marquette would have won. They are deeper at the bottom, and so they were able to earn points where we didn't. But if we get to state, it is a straight-up dual, so the positive outlook is we are getting closer."
East's David Horneffer won the No. 1 singles championship, getting a bye, defeating Alex Moore of Sussex Hamilton (6-0, 6-0) and Ethan Budiono of Marquette (6-1, 6-4) in the title match.
East's Robert Krill won the No. 2 singles title, getting a bye, beating Brookfield Central's Tom Foley (6-0, 6-0) and John Massart of Marquette (6-1, 6-3) for the title.» Read Full Article
Brookfield East Sports Shorts: May 26
Brookfield East put together a 2-0-1 record last week, improving to 7-4-4 overall and 3-2-1 in the Greater Metro Conference, good enough for third place.
The Spartans, who beat the Red Raiders, 4-2, on May 17, fell behind, 2-0, at halftime at Wauwatosa East before Abby Gregg got going and scored a hat-trick in the second half.
Gregg scored in the 47th minute off a pass from Ari Banks to get East on the board. The two combined again 10 minutes later to tie the game at 2-2. Hannah Lein hit Gregg for another goal in the 62nd minute for a 3-2 lead. In the 87th minute, Gregg found Aubrey Prey for a goal for the final margin of victory.
"Abby Gregg was bound and determined to get off to a fast start against Tosa East," coach Derrick Banks said. "But she would have to wait until the second half. Abby's off-the-ball runs were magnificent tonight, and she finished three one-on-ones with the keeper with a lot of poise."» Read Full Article
Brookfield East girls win GMC Outdoor title
The Brookfield East girls won the third leg of the Greater Metro Conference Triple Crown on May 17, winning the outdoor championship at Menomonee Falls.
The win gave the Spartans the second and third legs of the Triple Crown, losing only the indoor title to Brookfield Central. East ran away with the outdoor title over Central, 179-145.5.

We knew we wanted to defend our title for the team and specifically our seniors who have worked so hard for our team the last four years. We performed quite well in both sprints and distance and maintained our strength in the field events. This strong performance is great momentum going into regionals."
East had four winners, but several athletes placed in more than one event.
Rachel Werking was the only double winner, taking first in the 1,600 meters in 5 minutes 9.52 seconds and first in the 3,200 (11:16.73).» Read Full Article

Hope everyone tunes in to see Todd. 7pm ESPN
Thanks for the update.
Thanks, I'll be sure to tune in!
I thought Todd was hurt.
Didn't realize that James Reed plays for them now as well.
Not sure how much time TB will get, as he is listed as the 9th WR on the team,

He did have a slight concussion, but he has been practicing since then.

9th? I'm no GM but the chances of a receiver listed 9th on a depth actually making that roster are roughly zero. Even as a special teams player. This kid peaked at age 20.
Last edited by Lenny25; 08-07-2008 at 06:05 PM.
it looks like the 9th is warranted too. he has some good recievers in front of him.
I'm more interested in watching...wait, did you say preseason? I'm more interested in Antiques Roadshow.
Green hills for thy throne, and for crown a golden melody/Ringing in the hearts of all who bring thee love and loyalty/Dear Alma Mater, make our spirits great
True and valiant like the bells of I-O-WA STATE!
And thank you Stumpy for this:
You better get a good look at him tonight because his stay in N.O. is probably coming to an end in the very near future. I live in Louisiana and the only thing of note that he has done in camp so far is get stripped by Randall Gay in a scrimmage giving Tyler Palko 3 interceptions instead of only 2 for that scrimmage. By the way, the top players will likely only play 1-2 series during this game so guys way down the depth chart (like Blythe) will likely see quite a bit of action.
I cheer for two teams, Iowa State and whoever is playing the hawkeyes.
he is in uniform on the sidelines so he will be playing tonight!!!!!
Hoof hearted
he has to kick some serious butt in the pre-season games to have a shot at even making the practice squad... tuba rubin is playing tonight too!!
Only thing I've seen out of him so far is helping celebrate that last Saint TD.
Yeah but that was a real nice celebration hug

Meridian Mainstreet held its bi-annual downtown clean up.
