|Monkey meets zebra for fun times
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Checking out the jungle bro—
Monkey meets zebra for much more fun than the
costume contest they don't even realize they're in.
"I wan'na be like you" might be the thoughts of monkey Bryson Burnett and/or zebra Bodhyn Ring as they exchange greetings and get acquainted in the costume competition at the annual Lions Club contest on Halloween night. Animals were only a small part of the creative costumes seen at this year's Oct. 31 event. Trick-or-treaters roamed the town all evening for the once-a-year extravaganza. Mr. Monkey is the son of Bryan and Mallori Burnett, while Mr. Zebra's parents are Brady and Sara Ring.

Average Customer Review: based on 8 reviews.Rating: scuba pictures!
Hi there! On the Sealife Cameras manufacturer website, it says that this model has a mini wide-angle lens (detachable) included. The pic shown here does not show that lens attached and the description does not mention the lens as included. Can you please let me know for sure? Thank you!
Hello Bobby, in the description they are letting you know that the picture has included in it the wide angle lens. That is an added feature you can get when you order the camera. The wide angle lens is $69.95. If you have any other questions or would like to place an order please feel free to give us a call at 1.800.347.2822.
How significant is a "less than 1 second delay" for shutter speed - is this a normal spec for a point and shoot digital?
Hello Cindy, Thank you for your inquiry! Less than one second shutter speed is rather fast of this type of digital camera. And SeaLife is always working to make the cameras even better! http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-535/168261/Sealife-Reefmaster-Mini-2.1-9.0-Megapixel-Underwater-Camera.html If you would like to place an order or have questions about our products, please contact one of our certified Dive Instructors at SCUBA.com by calling 800-247-2822 <> 949-221-9300 or e-mail us at: email@example.com
Is the dc1400 worth the extra over the reefmaster mini 2.1 for snorkeling Thanks
Hello Steve, you will take better pictures and video with the DC 1400, over the Reef Master Mini. Plus you can use the DC 1400 outside of the housing if you take any land shots. The Mini is an all-in-one unit. If you would like to place an order or have any other questions please feel free to give us a call at 1.800.347.2822.
What is the difference between the mini 2.1 and the mini 2.0-What makes it worth the extra money?
Can an universal external strobe attach to this camera with tray and synch cord?
It uses the Digital Pro Flash. http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-540/069700/Sealife-Digital-Pro-Flash.html
how long is the battery life, dont say you dont know.. give me an example. an average of how many shots
I bougth the Reefmaster Mini 2.1.9 camera for my daughter. She is in Jamaica using it but complained that it was shutting off everytime she tried to zoom, also it is using the battery very quickly. Is this normal or is she doing doing something wrong?
Hi Barbara, The 1st thing I would try is new batteries. Also I would recommend 2 AAA lithium batteries, not alkaline batteries. You will get a lot more run time out of lithium batteries. If you are still having problems with your camera here is a link to help you. http://www.scuba.com/resources/repair/sealife.asp
I am NOT a professional photographer. Is there a more affordable alternative to the Sealife Digital Pro Flash attachment?
The Sealife Digital Pro Flash is one of the most affordable strobes on the market. It is designed to work with any point and shoot digital cameras. In comparison, strobes by other manufacturers and for other cameras can typically cost several times the price of the Sealife Digital Pro Flash.
The description states up to 8GB. Can I use a 16? Is 8 enough for a snorkeling trip? I am able to transfer everyday, but I dont want to run out of room while out diving. Thanks.
The LCD screen deplay is too large so I cannot see the menus and therefore cannot set up the camera. Can you help me reduce the display the manual does not cover this. Thanks

Large immigration flows challenge destination cities to find innovative ways to meet the needs of immigrant residents and promote their integration. This report examines the successful integration strategies of five U.S. cities—Cupertino and San Francisco, CA; Littleton, CO; New York City; and Seattle—and offers lessons for local governments looking to implement their own initiatives.

Where does residential segregation come from, and why does it vary significantly across minority groups and country contexts? This report explores these questions and examines the policy tools that lawmakers on both sides of the Atlantic have used to address the segregation of immigrant groups.

As global demand for talent and human capital increases, cities are becoming more innovative in their efforts to attract and retain residents. Many cities in Europe and North America are now turning to branding strategies to build inclusive identities that appeal to both new and existing residents. This report examines branding strategies and challenges.

Sweden's strong economic record continues to be marred by its struggles to integrate immigrants, especially those who come through humanitarian or family channels. This report describes how Sweden is trying to overcome these labor market integration challenges and analyzes how successful its workforce development and integration policies have been in helping immigrants progress from low-skilled work to middle-skilled jobs.

In France, where integration initiatives are limited to an immigrant's first five years in the country, "mainstreaming" is an intrinsic characteristic of integration policy. This report traces the history and recent developments of immigrant integration in France, and explores how policies aimed at the general population are benefiting immigrant youth.

This report explores the accelerating trend in the United Kingdom of mainstreaming of immigrant integration, in which policymakers seek to reach people with a migration background through needs-based social programming and policies that also target the general population. The report has particular focus on policies and programs used in London and Glasgow.
July 2014
While cities and regions experience both the positive and negative effects of immigration firsthand, they are typically at arm's length, at best, from the policy reins that enable and shape these movements. Immigration policies are rarely calibrated to regional, let alone local, needs. This Transatlantic Council on Migration Statement examines how policymakers at all levels can work together to get more out of immigration.

A person familiar with the decision says Auburn has hired Gus Malzahn as head coach.
The person said Malzahn will be introduced later Tuesday. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the school had not announced the hire.
Malzahn was the offensive coordinator during the Tigers' national championship run in 2010, but spent last season at Arkansas State in his first college head coaching position.
He led the Red Wolves to a 9-3 record, a Sun Belt Conference title and a berth in the GoDaddy.com Bowl.
Malzahn returns with his fast-paced, no-huddle offensive style that quarterback Cam Newton operated to perfection two seasons ago.
Malzahn replaces Gene Chizik, who was fired after a 49-0 loss to No. 2 Alabama to complete a 3-9 season.

Colorado Man Dies on Grand Teton
A Colorado man, identified as Gary Miller, 55, of Colorado Springs, has died from a fall near the Lower Saddle on Grand Teton near Jackson, Wyoming. The accident, which occurred Thursday June 20th, involved a guided climbing trip operated by Exum Mountain guides. The group had successfully summited the peak and was descending from the mountain near the Lower Saddle when the accident occurred. The exact cause of death is still under investigation, but it is reported that Miller fell in snow and slid into an "icy water moat" between a snowfield and an adjacent rock wall. Exum guides and Grand Teton rangers were able to recover Miller's body, but the victim was pronounced dead at 8:35 p.m.
This tragedy is the latest in a string of recent accidents in the Teton Range, including an incident earlier that day on Mount Owen that required a helicopter rescue. The earlier incident, as is reported by the Jackson Hole News, occurred on a technical route and involved a rockfall. Neither climber in the team was killed but had to be air-rescued from the mountain.
At 13,770 feet, Grand Teton is the second-highest peak in Wyoming and is popular among mountaineers from around the country. It is the tallest and namesake mountain of Grand Teton National Park.

"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.
Kirby chiming in with more bullshit on what would of otherwise been a funny moment.
Then again what more can you expect from a boy who DEVOTED himself to Communism for the best part of his teens only to admit that until this week he had never actually read the communist party manifesto
I often find myself aligning myself and spreading the message of political agendas I have no fucking understanding of because an admin of a pokemon forum likes them
Kirby if you honestly can't see a flaw in grown men wanting to physically rape young, prepubescent children then you're one of life's little mistakes. A bit like Hitler only you lack your own opinion on anything.
Thanks Khaos I thought it was a good visual aid to Kirby so he can see how my face is whenever I read anything he posts.
fun fact: this whole page is almost all red and gold balls besides khaos and now me

I have a wedding and a bar mitzvah to go to in New York City in May. In perusing my closet, I decided that I really have several dresses that would be perfectly appropriate, and there's not much need to buy a new dress (especially since I have a very good friend who's offered to let me go shopping in her closet too). But all my dressy pumps are either one-hit-wonders that go with a specific bridesmaid dress or other than I once wore, or they are black. That's because I tend to get all dressy in the winter, and black is practical.
So I decided that if I could make do with dresses, I could buy a new pair of shoes instead, in a design I've been pining for for ages: peep toe pumps. Something springy. I chose these:
Stunning, right? And the thing is, a muted sage green goes with at least FIVE dresses I already have, not to mention one I'm in the midst of making.
Seems perfect.
But the thing is, it turns out, they're kind of iridescent.
I'm not sure how I feel about that. They certainly didn't look even the slightest bit glow-y on the website I bought them from.
So now I need your help. Are they still beautiful? Or do they look a little Wizard-of-Oz gone green? Should I return them and keep hunting? (I have till mid-May.)
In case the dress options make a difference, they include: a streamlined celery green linen; a full and floaty 1950s style chocolate brown batiste; a black dress of vertical stripes in alternating satin ribbon and black "illusion" fabric -- fitted on top, widely flowing at below-knee hem; a white eyelet tailored coat dress (still under construction); and two patterned simple summer dresses (Ann Taylor-sundress style, not Target-sundress style).
What do you think? Are the shoes flashy? Garish? Great? Please help.

We still wear the same shoe size, right? If so, then NO. They're terrible. You should mail them to me immediately so that I may throw them away. :)
Seriously, I think they're great. Oz and all.

If you absolutely must get rid of them, I'll take them. Fantastic shoes!!

Oh, and the white dress is off limits. Don't wear the white to someone else's wedding. The "illusion" fabric is probably perfect with these fabulous shoes.
You left out something important. Where did yu get the shoes?!?!

I've never seen shoes like that before!! What a fun style!

Judith, you are a funny lady. I might put them into the swap pile if you ante up your boots! :)
Ashlie, ah, yes, I forgot to say, they are actually comfortable. Heel not too high, etc. Though I haven't worn them for a whole day yet...
Jennifer, you are totally right about the white dress, of course. I was thinking of wearing that one to the bar mitzvah, which is a daytime event (and obviously no one's wedding). And I bought them on shoebuy.com -- great deals!
Mr Lady, Mommypie, Hairline Fracture, McMommy, and Jenn -- that's a lot of people with good taste saying yes! Thank you. I really was worried that they look too much like a green version of Ruby Slippers.

I am all about the shoes.
Ask OhMommy. But not Mr Lady as she wears Crocs...
Shoes need to wow people.
Those are WOW shoes.
Wear them!

I didn't like them until I saw them on your foot. Totally like them now. If the dress of choice doesn't glow, then the shoes will be great because they will add a little shablazam. If the dress glows too, that might be too much and you might be asked to grant some wishes.

Um, seriously. Are you really MAKING a dress?
Hawt ankles, btw.

The shoes are great, and you should take every opportunity to wear flashy shoes anyway. I just say an exhibition of the most INSANE shoes from 500 years ago, and it made me think: you only live once! Embrace the style, and flash those tootsies around town.
- February 1, 2009 at 6:04 PM
- LceeL said...
Those shoes are keepers, for sure. Especially with the first two dresses you described. Only problem - kinda tough to drink champagne out of those puppies. have to use something else, I guess.
- February 1, 2009 at 6:28 PM

I'm for the shoes and think they are beautiful and cool enough to warrant buying even if you only had one dress to wear with them . . . the chocolate dress sounds like the thing.

Thank you all for your rousing support. You have given me the confidence I need: I am definitely keeping them.
Ms. Mep and Mrs. F, I do love the chocolate dress, and I'm sure I'll wear it to one event or the other.
Laskigal, it's true, I sew. If I ever get the dress finished, I'll post a picture. :)

EADS' Eurcopter X3 makes public debut
The public got their first glimpse of Eurocopter's three-propeller rotorcraft, X3 (pronounced X cubed), in Paris. It's a wicked hybrid of chopper and plane, with the vertical take-off and landing of a helicopter, and the higher speeds of a traditional plane once it's in the sky. It can fly at about 250 mph -- making it one of the fastest rotorcrafts yet.

City Council To Hold Two Public Hearings
(Le Mars) -- The Le Mars City Council will hold two public hearings today during their regular meeting. The council will review the offers the city has received for the purchase of city owned property, formerly owned by the Iowa Department of Transportation. The city council will also hear comments regarding the extension of a water line located on Madison Avenue and extending north to the junction of Highway 60 and Highway 75. It is also expected the city council will approve an amendment that changes the interest rate on municipal bonds from 3 percent down to 1.75 percent. The change could save the city approximately $129,000 over the life of the bond. The city council will also consider an amendment to the DGR engineering firm's contract for 4th Avenue SE to include additional design work to include a sidewalk ramp and replacement as required by the Iowa Department of Transportation.

Higher Speed Limits Show More Fatalities On Interstate Highways
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - State records suggest higher interstate speeds have proved fatal for more Iowa motorists.
Rural interstate fatalities are up about 10 percent since the speed limit was raised to 70 mph from 65 mph.
Iowa records show 250 people were fatally injured on the rural interstate system between July 1, 2005, and Dec. 31, 2011. The figure was 227 fatalities for the 6 1/2 years before the limit was
Traffic deaths on other Iowa highways and roads dropped last year to the lowest level since World War II.
Russ Rader with the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety says "the bottom line is that when speed limits go up, deaths go up. When speed limits go down, deaths go down."
Ryan Visits Iowa
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan is returning to Iowa for a two-day visit.
Mitt Romney's running mate will be in Cedar Rapids on Tuesday and in Adel in central Iowa on Wednesday.
In Cedar Rapids, Ryan will speak at Kirkwood Community College. He'll attend a rally at the Dallas County Courthouse in Adel Wednesday morning.
Ryan, who's fresh off his GOP nomination in Tampa, stopped at the Iowa State Fair in August shortly after Romney named him as his running mate.
President Obama Returns To Iowa
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - The president was in Iowa just prior to the Democratic National Convention and he and his running mate and their wives have scheduled a post-convention trip back to Iowa.
Campaign officials say President Barack Obama and the first lady, Michelle Obama, will be accompanied by Vice President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill Biden, when they visit Iowa City on
Friday. Obama is scheduled to make his nomination acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina on Thursday night.
The four are expected to visit New Hampshire first on Friday morning before flying to Iowa, one of the tossup states in this year's general election. Details about their Iowa City itinerary haven't been released.
It will be the president's eighth trip to Iowa this year. He stopped in Ames on Tuesday and attended events in Urbandale and Sioux City on Saturday.
(Boone) -- Many farmers have already started with this year's corn harvest since the drought has dried up their fields. But is the corn ready for harvest? Iowa State University extension corn specialist, Roger Elmore says some of the corn is mature, but he says other farmers may want to get a start on harvest due to poor stalk stands.
Listen to
A lot of comparisons have been made between this summer's drought and the drought that struck Iowa in 1988. Elmore says the trend line is about the same.
Listen to
The Iowa State University corn specialist says Iowa is in better shape than the crops in Illinois and Indiana, where he says yields are projected to be far less than the Hawkeye state. Elmore says this drought year offers an opportunity to learn.
Listen to
Elmore says seed companies and university research alike, will focus on stalk quality as a result of this dry year.
Midwest Economic Survey Shows Some Weakness
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - A monthly survey suggests that the continuing drought and lessening export demand for U.S. products are among the drains on the economy in nine Midwest and Plains.
A report released Tuesday says August's Mid-America Business Conditions Index remained below growth neutral for a second month. It rose to 49.7 from 48.7 in July. June's figure was 57.2.
The survey of business leaders and supply managers uses a collection of indexes ranging from zero to 100. Any score above 50 suggests growth while a score below 50 suggests decline for that
Creighton University economist Ernie Goss oversees the survey, and he says supply managers remain pessimistic about future economic conditions.
The survey covers Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma and South Dakota.
Dallas County Mental Health Patients May Need To Wait For Services
ADEL, Iowa (AP) - Dallas County has started a waiting list for some mental health services, hoping to stretch its budget so it can meet residents' most vital needs.
Community Services Director Darci Alt expects more than 600 people will obtain mental health services through the county this year.
Alt says that, "with the downturn in the economy, financial problems and job loss are causing people to have more crisis situations."
Alt says the waiting list will not affect therapy services, but there will be limited access to transportation, day programming, community living and employment services.
The waiting list will affect an estimated 30 percent of the county's patients. The overall number could increase if more people seek services.
Care Provider Wants Uniform Standards For Missing Children
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A Cedar Falls child care provider wants Iowa to implement uniform standards for how law enforcement responds for a rapid response.
Robin Arnold says the first few hours are critical and a missing child is a missing child.
Questions have been raised about whether the state could have done more when the two cousins disappeared in Evansdale on July 13 and remain missing. A search began immediately, and within hours,
local residents and the media were notified.
But an Amber Alert wasn't issued. Officials say those alerts are issued only when it's known that a child has been abducted. Arnold wants the alerts regardless.
Sen. Jeff Daniels, a Cedar Rapids Democrat, says he'll push for a review of Iowa law dealing with missing children.

text: Hi, with The Anvil Amulet, book two of my fantasy trilogy, The Erebus Equilibrium, due to be released next month, I was wondering what the Forum members thoughts were on e-book publication and whether you think it's worthwhile having books available in PDF format (or similar) for download or on CD-ROM etc? When book one, Reflections (extract and review posted here, BTW), was published last year, it was made available as an e-book first and then a trade softcover edition. In spite of the hype associated with some e-books (ie: Stephen King's The Plant) it seems that most of my readers preferred the good old paperback version. I'd be interested to hear what others here may think about this, please. Regards, Neil www.wn.com.au/clubclad/erebus/

The funny thing about growing up in South Florida is that one minute it's bright as day. Not a cloud in the sky. Then the next minute it's pouring rain for about 15 minutes. Then it's back to sunny.
That is how I would describe attending any conference. Quiet. Busy busy busy. Then back to normal.
To help you with your prep, I wanted to call out a few items of interest (including some good social media tips).
You Are Here: Industry Session Roadmaps
If you follow the Pulse blog, you'll know that I posted about these last Thursday.
They are awesome. Pick your industry and we have a list of the sessions that might interest you.
We also have a QR code for these roadmaps that will be displayed in a few places should you want to point your mobile phone to them.
All Clients, All The Time
Rebecca Wissinger and her team have a ton of cool things going on for our clients at Pulse.
She posted on the Pulse blog about them last week.
I think my favorite thing here is the Client Connections where we can help match you with other clients who have done what you're looking to do.
Virtual Simulator: Experience It And Then See The Game
David Ojalvo posted about the simulator workshop on Sunday, the Integrated Service Management Simulator Overview breakout sessions and the ISM Virtual Simulator ped in the Best Practices Zone.
David, along with a number of folks on the team (myself included) will be at the ped to answer questions and show off the game.
Business Partners
Our team will also have a table in the Business Partner Cafe, specifically to talk about Integrated Service Management for Industries. I'll be there, along with a number of other members of the team.
See It, Read It And Hear It Now!
The Pulse Conversations is your single view into all the exciting social media conversations happening in and around the conference.

I just played it for, like, 3 days. I have a question to ask.
1. How many car can be parked in safe house garage?
2. How come sometime when I parked a car in front of a store like Barber shop, Restaurant or when enter a mission, when came out my car disappear. If I modify a car and it disappear wouldn't it be waste of money? Or else I'm confuse on how to own a car.
3. What will happen if i fail the mission, coz some of them are really hard to pass.
4. Is there anyway to pass the mission with a cheat code?
Thanks so much for all the answers.

Thanks so much for all the answers.
1. There are several safehouses with different sized garages. Usually there is room enough for about 2 cars but it's possible to fit as many as you like if you can make them fit. It's advised to only park as many as fit comfortably though as sometimes over-crowding causes cars in you garage to be lost, even cars in another safehouse garage.
2. When you are a certain distance from a vehicle or a vehicle is out of view the game doen't bother to remember where it is assuming that you have abandonned it. It couldnt possibly remember the location of every car you get in and out of. It generally tries to remember cars parked outside building you enter but often it doesn't.
If you have a car you don't want to loose just save it in your garage. You can just reload if you loose it or desroy it etc.
3. Failing a mission isn't the end of the world. You may loose your weapons and a bit of money if you die or get busted during a mission, but otherwise failure has no bad consequences, except that you have to try again!
4. I don't think there are any cheats that automatically pass a mission, but there are cheats that can make missions easier. On the PC you can download mods, trainers and other hacks that can add alot of cool things to the game, and/or just make missions very very easy.

2. sometimes if you're lucky enough you get to see the guy who steals your car. (Remeber the Title: Grand Theft Auto)
4. You don't need cheats. There are people who will do the mission for you (if you're on the PC.)
Some of us have spent weeks trying to complete a mission. All the missions can be done it just takes experience.
Tip: Don't try too hard. Be aware of what needs to be done compared with what you are doing. sometimes the game lies when it tells you what to do. Try variations/ weapons/vehicles where allowed.
Read the forums. Search the forums for how real players did it. Walk Throughts sometimes aren't the best (easiest) way to do it.
Spend a lot of time looking around for freebies. You don't have to do the missions (except to open new islands.) so you can explore.
If you do it right you won't have to spend a dollar on weapons or body armour.
************* Game Hints *************
Don't go Mission to Mission. Spend time just looking around, behind walls/bushes, on roofs, under bridges. Explore the Car park buildings and anyother building you can enter...
Do the Gang Tags, Photo's, Horseshes as soon as you can.
NO Cheats -- NO Mods

i think the game keeps the cars in it's memory longer than ususl if they have some damage or you leave them with a door open. to leave a car with a door open get out of it wile pressing eithr one of the movement controls, so cj will imediatelly start moving instead of closing the door. then enter the building, do whatever you need to do and that's it.

Ill. treasurer, governor say pension action needed
CHICAGO (AP) -- Treasurer Dan Rutherford says Illinois' credit rating downgrade is likely to cost taxpayers more in interest when the state issues bonds.
Standard & Poor's lowered Illinois' credit rating Friday due to concern over the state's failure to address its $96 billion pension fund deficit. Rutherford says lawmakers' inaction has Illinois "headed for financial disaster."
Gov. Pat Quinn said earlier Friday that rating agencies won't give Illinois better marks until the General Assembly passes pension reform.
Standard & Poor's said Friday that it downgraded Illinois' general obligation bonds from A to A-minus. The agency also gave an A-minus rating to $500 million in general obligation bonds that the state plans to issue in February. Ratings agencies have been downgrading Illinois' credit over the last several years.
CHICAGO (AP) -- Standard & Poor's rating services has lowered Illinois' credit rating, blaming the state's pension problems.
The New York-based agency said Friday that the rating on the state's general obligation bonds was downgraded to A- from A. The agency also gave an A- rating to $500 million in general obligation bonds that the state plans to release in February. The agency says the outlook is negative.
Standard & Poor's credit analysts say the downgrade reflects what the agency sees as the state's "weakened pension-funded rations" and lack of action on reform measures to improve the state's worst-in-the-nation pension crisis. Illinois has a $96 billion pension deficit.

Which areas are you looking at waterswat? Ive got my choices narrowed down to 20 different areas. Some more research to do to get it narrowed down some more. MRS section is a big help on doing this task.
Hopefully headed to Wyoming for antelope and mule deer this year. This will be my first time ever out West hunting and am looking forward to reading about tips, tactics and tricks to harvest a respectable animal. Thanks Eastmans for writing about Western Big Game. Living in the Midwest it is tough to read, watch and listen to all the stories about Western Big Game and not partake every year in it. Look forward to all posts!
Which areas are you looking at waterswat? Ive got my choices narrowed down to 20 different areas. Some more research to do to get it narrowed down some more. MRS section is a big help on doing this task.
Looking at doing a combo hunt or seperate?
Good luck in Wyoming. I have enjoyed every trip to Wyoming so far. Took a 70" SCI buck in 2007 with the rifle near Casper, WY and ate tag soup in 2010 near New Castle, WY with the bow. Wasn't for lack of trying, just needed to remember which pin was 50 yards and which one was 60 yards...LOL.
If I don't get drawn in AZ or NM this year, I will be returning to Wyoming again this year with the bow.
Are wy non residents archery tags over the counter?

If you miss the draw deadline, which for Antelope is March 15 I believe, you can hope for leftover tags in your chosen area which are available in June.
good luck

Green Bay, WI (Sports Network) - Aaron Rodgers threw for a touchdown and the
Green Bay Packers took advantage of a short-handed Vikings team to oust
Minnesota from the playoffs, 24-10, in an NFC Wild Card game at Lambeau Field.
John Kuhn had a rushing and receiving score for the Packers, who will play at
San Francisco next Saturday at 8 p.m. ET in the divisional round.
Rodgers completed 23-of-33 passes for 274 yards, and the Packers tied a
postseason NFL record by having 10 players make a reception.
The Vikings played without starting quarterback Christian Ponder, who was
inactive due to a right elbow injury. Ponder was hurt last Sunday in a regular
season-ending 37-34 win over the Packers when he was hit by safety Morgan
Burnett on a blitz.
Joe Webb, who had taken just three snaps all season, started in Ponder's place
and was erratic through the air.

WHEELING - For the first time during the infant 2012-13 high school swimming campaign, Linsly Coach Bill Brubaker got to watch both his boys' and girls' squads capture victory on the same night Wednesday at the Stifel Pool on the Cadets' campus.
The boys' squad, led by seniors Marc Gittings, Zach Hamm, Hussan Kureishy, Isaac Lee, Chris Reardon, Jordan Ritter, and Brian Thomas splashed its way to an impressive 103-58 victory over city-rival Wheeling Central while the girls, paced by the Scarpone sisters, Eve and Zoe, also collected a big 103-63 win over the Maroon Knights.
Drew Bastian made it to the victory platform on three occasions, one more than Hamm, while Liam McNeil, Cameron Thompson, Reese Boyd, and Reardon were all involved in a pair of wins. Both Hamm and Thompson are returning Ohio Valley Athletic Conference champions.
Bastian won both the 50 free (23.91) and 500 free (5:32.27) while joining Hamm, McNeil, and Reardon on the 200 freestyle relay and Gittings, Ritter, and Thompson on the 400 freestyle relay. Hamm touched the wall first in the 200-yard freestyle in 1:55:89 and won the 100-yard backstroke in 1:00.20.
The other individual winners were McNeil in the 200-yard IM (2:29.08), Thompson in the 100 butterfly (1:00.21), Boyd in the 100 free (55.41), and Reardon in the 100 breaststroke (1:10.57).
"Our core group of seniors of Hamm, Gittings, Kureishy, Lee, Reardon, Ritter, and Thomas have all done quite well so far this season," Brubaker said. "And the great thing is that they are all leaders both in and out of the pool. We are also expecting a lot from underclassmen like Thompson, McNeil, Boyd, and Bastian and expect them to improve as the seniors do as well.
With the win the boys improved to 4-0.
In picking up its first win in four meets, the Cadets received strong performances from both Scarpone sisters along with Brie Weimer, Danielle Muster, and Samantha Schaal.
Both Eve and Zoe Scarpone were involved in four victories in the event while Weimer and Muster collected three each.
Eve Scarpone swam to victory in the 200 free (2:13.45) and the 100 breaststroke (1:18.86) while joining her sister on both the 200 medley relay (2:09.02) and 200 freestyle relay (1:54.45) along with Weimer and Schaal on the freestyle relay and Weimer and Muster on the medley relay.
Zoe Scarpone won the 200-yard IM in (2:24.34) and the 100-yard butterfly in 1:08.11 while Weimer captured the 50 freestyle (29.24), Muster the 100 backstroke (1:18.84), and Schaal the 500 free (6:19.56).
"This is the girls' first win, which is a very nice thing," Brubaker added. "What we have is a group of very experienced girls and another group of girls who are just learning to be swimmers. So far, Zoe and Eve Scarpone along with Muster, Weimer, and Schaal have carried the load for us."
Wheeling Central's two victories of the day came in the girls' 100-yard freestyle with Jocie Humpe touching the wall first in 1:03.15 and the 400-yard freestyle relay, anchored by Humpe and including Shelby Grendel, Emily Gordon, and Megan Kirkpatrick.

MANASSAS, Md. (WUSA) -- Prince William County police have charged a woman with child abuse for hitting a child with belt in Manassas.
Twenty-year-old Maria Del Rosario is being held without bond after allegedly hitting a 2-year-old boy with a belt multiple times between August 2011 and February 2013, say police.
Twenty-nine-year-old Carlos Daniel Cortez was charged earlier with child abuse and cruelty and injuries to children for hitting the child with a belt between November 2012 and February 2013. He is also being held without bond.
The child sustained lacerations from the beating, according to police. Police started investigating the alleged child abuse on Tuesday when an incident was reported.

2011 Dodge Challenger - Built To WinWritten by on April 20, 2012 Drag Pak Challengers Are Winners--Just Like the Max Wedges and 426 Hemis of Yore
They're winning races and going quicker and faster each time out. That's what you heard about the Max Wedge cars and the 426 Hemi-powered Darts and Barracudas long ago. Now you're hearing it about Mopar's factory-built Challenger Drag Pak cars.
We spoke with people who are working on, racing, and winning with them to find out more about Ma Mopar's latest factory race car.
Larry Griffith, co-author of the Authenticity Guide to the '09 Challenger Drag Pak cars, says he's now ready to update his. "What we'll do is go back, and do a little more detail [we need] to make one of those engines live, and work with all of the do's and don'ts," he says.
That work of Griffith and his partner, Larry Pontnack, led to one of their Drag Pak Challengers running a winning 9.59-second e.t. at 138.2 mph at Cordova Dragway Park in late November. "We know we can make it run 9.40s," says Pontnack of their cars' potential. "There's no doubt in my mind that we can run 9.40s."
One place it may do that is at Gainesville Raceway, at the Tire Kingdom Gatornationals. "That's the plan right now," says Griffith. "One of our cars will run at Gainesville."
The one they take there will benefit from what they learned about the factory LY-Body race cars, along with their own speed secrets. "We can give you a lot of that," Griffith adds, "but for a lot of the engine and little parts, we're going to [work] with Arrington Performance."
Griffith and Pontnack run engines built by Arrington Performance, and the engine builder there who specializes in Drag Pak engines, Danny Glad, says their 6.1 Hemi can make as much as 640 reliable horsepower. "We've had really good luck with those engines," says Danny. "It's hard to believe that you can run a Stock Eliminator engine with that displacement and make 640 horsepower. It really amazes me how those engines can make that kind of power."
And they're doing it within NHRA's rules for Stock classes. "You have to run the stock main caps and the stock block," Danny adds, "and you have to run a stock crankshaft, too."
That's where Danny's skills as an engine builder (whose experience includes building engines for Alan Kulwicki's NACAR Winston Cup team during their 1992 championship season) comes in. "Basically, what you're doing is blueprinting it," he says. "They give you a .015-inch tolerance on the stroke, so you want to carry that out to the max—just shy a couple thousandths for error in measurement in the tech line."
Danny says that their race engines are good for about 60 runs before a rebuild is needed, plus there's no problem getting parts for them. "All the major manufacturers have parts," he says. "You can run aftermarket rods, like a K1 or a Manley; you can run an aftermarket piston, but it has to be approved with an NHRA part number on it. JE Pistons has one, and Mahle has one."
All that reliable power needs a chassis that can turn it into win-light-lighting e.t.'s. That's where another specialist at Arrington, Jason Hensley, comes in.
According to Jason, the lightweight Challengers needed to go on a diet. "The biggest problem with them, when you get them, is the weight distribution," he says. "They're so front-heavy that they're really hard to get enough weight out of the car, so that you can put ballast in the rear to get the weight distribution to where it needs to be."
One trick: Swap the spindles. "They come with the SRT8 front spindles," Jason says. "The R/T spindles are a couple pounds lighter a side, so we get a set of R/T spindles and make those work."
In back, ride height is critical. "One time before I went to the track, I put the car on the scales and set it up, and found a ride height that I really wanted to go with," he recalls. "Once I got to the track, the car wouldn't do anything—it spun every time. I raised it up half an inch in the rear, which changed the rear geometry on the four-link by changing the instant center point a little bit. Once I did that, the car worked really good, and I liked the change." Unfortunately, another half inch didn't lead to any improvement. In fact, he says, the car handled worse than it originally did.
Jason also says that shock tuning helps in getting the Drag Pak cars down the track, but there's not a lot else that can be done trackside. "You really have to get it almost spot-on before you even make a pass on the car," he says. "The front weight is so heavy, and the ride height is real sensitive as to what it needs. They're pretty tough to get down the track initially, but once you get 'em, they're not too bad."
Describing Jeff Teuton's run in Stock Eliminator at the MAC Tools U.S. Nationals at Indianapolis last year as "not bad" is a huge understatement. After winning his A/Stock Automatic class, Jeff—a longtime Mopar racer—bested a field of 127 other doorslammers for the Stock Eliminator crown. "Yeah, we snuck up on 'em when they weren't looking, and I got ahead of 'em," he says.
That took a car that ran consistently. "It just worked good, back-to-back-to-back," Jeff adds. "All you've got to do is get in there and drive, but it's pretty steady.
Along with the chassis, they had their 6.1 Hemi dialed in. "We got the horsepower pulled down to where it wouldn't spin the tires, and we got the weight where it likes," he says. "It just ran rounds!"
With the information they gained, especially last season, the Griffith and Teuton Challengers, and other lightweight LYs, will be strong runners again in NHRA's Stock classes.
Jeff says they'll have one of the '11 V-10–powered Challenger Drag Paks to race in 2012, along with their Hemi V-8–powered ones. "We're going to have the 360 in our blue car like we did this past year," Jeff says, "and we're going to have the red Challenger, which more than likely will either be a 6.1 or a 6.4. It'll probably alternate back between a five-speed and an automatic."
Meanwhile, Larry Griffith says he and Larry Pontnack will focus on NHRA's Division 5 at the tracks closest to their home base in Illinois.
What do they think of the Drag Pak cars in Auburn Hills? "We've been very happy with the program," says Dale Aldo, Mopar Motorsports' marketing manager. "The customers have taken the cars and done a fantastic job."
Dale adds, "It's been a fun thing to see this, because these cars are the grandsons of the original '68 Hemi 'Cudas and Darts, and people have really embraced them. It's been a joy for everybody here at Mopar to be associated with them."
And it gives you a good reason to stay in your seat at the drags when the Stock cars roll up to the line!

Need-to-know news
Soaring & sinking
Never mind a real estate crash and crushing foreign debt. Dubai on Jan. 4 opened the world's tallest building-at 2,717 feet more than twice the height of the Empire State Building, and over 1,000 feet higher than its record-setting predecessor, Taipei Financial Center. With the world's highest swimming pool and its highest mosque, along with views stretching more than 60 miles, the Burj Khalifa is likely to become a symbol of the Gulf emirate's decadence-and perhaps its last. Last month, neighboring Abu Dhabi gave Dubai $10 billion to stave off financial collapse.
Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni broke his silence over a looming anti-homosexuality bill that could make some homosexual activity in the African nation punishable by death. Musevini-expressing wariness about the bill gaining international condemnation-told members of the country's ruling party, the National Resistance Movement, that officials from the U.S., U.K., and Canada had all contacted him about one thing: Gays.
The controversial bill-first introduced by parliament member David Bahati in October-increases the penalties for homosexuality, which is already illegal in Uganda. Bahati's legislation would impose the death penalty for "aggravated homosexuality," including cases of the offender being HIV-positive or raping a child. Other forms of homosexual conduct would carry a sentence of life in prison.
The New York Times reported that Ugandan officials wrote the legislation after a March conference on homosexuality conducted by three American evangelicals. All three evangelicals oppose homosexuality, but they say they never encouraged such severe penalties for the practice. Megachurch pastor Rick Warren, who has maintained close ties with relief ministries in Uganda, issued a statement condemning the bill and noting that the legislation could require pastors to report homosexuals to authorities if they seek counseling or help.
By mid-January the bill was scheduled for a February reading in the parliament, leaving international observers anxious to see if the bill might be revised or dropped altogether. - by Jamie Dean
U.S. forces and CIA operatives continue to seek recovery and retribution from the Dec. 30 terrorist attack that killed seven CIA employees at a base in Afghanistan near the Pakistan border. A Jordanian militant the CIA believed to be a double agent, and was recruited by both U.S. and Jordanian intelligence to divulge information on top al-Qaeda leaders (including the location of number-two Ayman al-Zawahiri) turned out to be a triple agent still posting jihadi instructions on al-Qaeda websites. He detonated an explosives belt once inside Forward Operating Base Chapman near Khost, just before he was searched. The killings included five top CIA officers with experience tracking Osama bin Laden that preceded 9/11 and represented the worst single incident against the intelligence agency since a bomb killed eight CIA officers in Beirut in 1983. Officers were so hopeful about the meeting they had informed both the White House and Langley that it was taking place. Instead, the U.S. intelligence community has suffered one of its worst setbacks in the terror war just as it is ramping up counterterrorism efforts in Afghanistan and in Yemen, where al-Qaeda operations are growing. President Obama will request a record $708 billion in defense spending from Congress next month, including additional funding for Pentagon and CIA operations in Yemen, where Christmas Day bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab received training.
Setting the record straight
Homerun titan Mark McGwire created the news, but in Fargo, N.D., it's Roger Maris everyone is thinking about. Hometown fans of the Yankee slugger, whose 37-year-old single-season record of 61 homers was broken by McGwire in 1998, now wait for the asterisk by Maris' name to be removed. Neither Maris nor McGwire has been admitted to the Baseball Hall of Fame, pending McGwire's admitting on Jan. 11 what everyone had known: The Cardinals slugger had used steroids on and off for a decade. McGwire called Maris' widow before he broke the news. "He was apologizing to my mom, and he wanted to apologize to Dad and the kids," Maris' son Kevin told Sports Illustrated.
Taxing Wall Street
The government has received most of its money back from the banks involved in last year's Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP), much of it with interest, but that isn't stopping the Obama administration from using TARP as a rationale for a special tax on the nation's largest banks.
Under the plan, the government would apply the tax to banks, insurance companies, and trading houses that have more than $50 billion in assets and received money under TARP. The goal: Raise between $90 billion and $120 billion for Uncle Sam over the next 10 years. The danger, say critics: It will syphon capital from banks just when the economy most needs them to have it. "How you are going to tax banks and expect them to lend more is frankly lunacy," Rep. Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas, told The Wall Street Journal.
Google wars
Google made the stunning announcement Jan. 12 that it might shut down its operations in China along with its search engine google.cn because of cyberattacks originating in China targeting the company's very infrastructure as well as the Gmail accounts of a number of human-rights activists. A Google senior vice president, David Drummond, said in a statement that the attack "goes to the heart of a much bigger global debate about freedom of speech." Originally Google had agreed to demands from the Chinese government that it censor its search results, but since the attacks Drummond said the company is "no longer willing." In response to the statement, Chinese citizens placed flowers outside Google's Beijing offices. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has demanded an explanation for the attack from China, and she said she will deliver a speech on internet freedom Jan. 21.
Jan. 9 marked the fifth anniversary of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement, or CPA, which ended the longest-running war in Africa, the battle between Sudan's mostly Islamic North and its predominantly Christian South. But the anniversary was greeted by stepped-up violence between allegedly reconciling factions as both sides move toward a referendum on remaining one or two countries later this year. On Jan. 7 UN officials reported that at least 140 people were killed and 90 wounded during an attack on the Wunchai region of Warrap state in southern Sudan. This month 10 aid agencies issued a report saying the CPA was on the brink of collapse because of a "lethal cocktail" of rising violence, chronic poverty, and political tensions. "A great deal hangs on what can be achieved in the next 365 days," when CPA is due to expire, said Richard Poole, director of humanitarian aid programs for the International Rescue Committee.
Hall of shame
The No. 1 state persecutor of Christians, for the eighth-straight year, is North Korea. That's the conclusion of Open Doors in releasing its 2010 World Watch List of 50 countries considered at-risk locales for Christians. According to a Jan. 6 statement from the California-based Christian advocacy group founded by Brother Andrew, the regime of Kim Jong Il targeted Christians all over the country in 2009, resulting in arrests, torture, and killings. Of an estimated 200,000 North Koreans in political prisons, said the group, 40,000 to 60,000 are Christians.
Iran is No. 2 on the World Watch List, moving up from its No. 3 position of recent years behind Saudi Arabia as a result of the political crackdown following the reelection of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in June. A wave of arrests of Christians that began in 2008 grew in 2009, according to Open Doors, resulting in the detention of at least 85 Christians.
Eight of the top 10 countries have Islam as their dominant religion; 35 of the 50 countries on the list have Islamic governments.
Keeping faith
If Fox News analyst Brit Hume wanted to be transparent about his advice for disgraced golfer Tiger Woods, he succeeded on a Sunday morning broadcast in early January: "My message to Tiger would be: Tiger, turn to the Christian faith and you can make a total recovery and be a great example to the world." Hume added that Woods' professed Buddhism "doesn't offer the kind of forgiveness and redemption that is offered by the Christian faith."
If media critics wanted to be transparent about their scorn for Christianity in the public square, they succeeded after the broadcast. Comedy Central's Jon Stewart lampooned Hume in a four-minute segment. MSNBC's David Shuster called Hume's remarks "truly embarrassing." Washington Post critic Tom Shales asked: "Who did he sound more like-Mary Poppins on the joys of a tidy room, or Ron Popeil on the glories of some amazing potato peeler?" He predicted Hume's remark would rank "as one of the most ridiculous of the year."
Ultimately, Shales demanded Hume apologize for offering Woods the lifeline that saved Hume in the mire of his own personal tragedy: Hume, an Episcopalian, says he "came to Christ" after his son's suicide in 1998. That Hume would publicly express a similar hope for Woods strikes Shales as "looniness." Given an opportunity to clarify his remarks, Hume offered this response: "I think Jesus Christ offers Tiger Woods something that Tiger Woods badly needs."
Virginia mother Lisa Miller defied a court order Jan. 1 to deliver her 7-year-old biological daughter, Isabella, to her former lesbian partner, Janet Jenkins. Instead, Miller and her daughter appear to have disappeared after a Vermont judge handed Jenkins full custody of Isabella. Jenkins has filed a missing person report in Virginia, where a local court is ordering Miller to comply with the Vermont ruling. A Jan. 22 hearing in Vermont will evaluate whether to issue an arrest warrant for Miller. Meanwhile, Liberty Counsel, which represents Miller, is appealing the Nov. 20 Vermont ruling and is awaiting a decision from the Virginia Court of Appeals, which heard arguments Dec. 9 about whether Virginia must enforce the Vermont orders. The firm had "no comment" on Miller's whereabouts.
Abortion-cancer linkage
An April 2009 study on the link between oral contraceptives and breast cancer subtly shifted the language on the abortion-breast cancer link. The study, published in the April issue of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention, named abortion as a "known or suspected risk factor" for breast cancer and also stated that this conclusion was consistent with earlier studies. But that's not what this study's co-author, Louise Brinton, has always said. Brinton organized the National Cancer Institute 2003 workshop that eventually claimed that according to current research, having an abortion "does not increase a woman's subsequent risk of developing breast cancer."
Now, her 2009 paper maintains that abortion is a "known or suspected risk factor" and that this is consistent with what earlier studies found. Joel Brind, professor of biology at Baruch College, said Brinton should address the inconsistency: "Here we have a direct contradiction between what the NCI says officially and what she says in the study. . . . You say essentially, 'It doesn't exist,' and then you say, 'Oh yes, we found it and that's in line with what earlier studies have found.' How do you explain that?"

Railroad shipping: AAR reports rail volumes remain up but have leveled off
May 28, 2010
Following 12 straight weeks of traffic growth, the Association of American Railroads reported that volumes for the week ending May 20 have leveled off, although they remain up on an annual basis.
Weekly carload volumes—at 288,114—were up 10.6 percent year-over-year and down 12.4 percent from 2008. This trails the week ending May 15 which came in at 290,263 and is nearly even with the week ending May 8 at 288,905. The week ending April 24, which hit 294,218 carloads, is the highest weekly carload level since December 2008, according to the AAR.
Carloads in the West were up 8.6 percent year-over-year and down 8.1 percent compared to 2008. And in the East carloads were up 13.6 percent year-over-year and down 17.9 percent compared to 2008.
In October 2009, the AAR began reporting weekly rail traffic with year-over-year comparisons for the previous two years, due to the fact that the economic downturn was in full effect at this time a year ago, and global trade was bottoming and economic activity was below current levels.
Intermodal container and trailer volumes—at 215,118 trailers and containers—were up 12.7 percent year-over-year and down 7.9 percent from 208. This trails the week ending May15, which hit 218,206 (marking the highest week for total intermodal volume since the 47th week of 2008). Total intermodal loadings were above the weeks ending May 8 and May 1, which hit and 208,809 and 213,013
Intermodal container volume was up 14.4 percent year-over-year and down 0.7 percent compared to 2008. Intermodal trailer volume was up 3.9 percent year-over-year and down 34.4 percent compared to 2008.
Robert W. Baird and Co. analyst Jon Langenfeld wrote in a research note that intermodal is well-positioned for continued growth.
"We expect both domestic and international growth to continue given ongoing domestic truckload conversion and economic growth," Langenfeld wrote. "Tightened intermodal container capacity should support intermodal rail rate increases."
And Avondale Partners analyst Donald Broughton pointed out that on a three-week average basis, total US carloads are up 13.9% from prior year levels. Broughton said he expects this comparison to continue to improve until about mid-year his firm compares data to a relatively soft spring on a year-ago basis.
As LM has reported, recent railroad volume growth could lead to a bright picture for the remainder of 2010, according to industry analysts.
These analysts have cited increased industrial production growth in the form of manufacturing and new orders indices, as well as gradual consumer spending, among other factors, as drivers for these gains.
On a year-to-date basis, total U.S. carload volumes at 5,636,940 carloads are up 6.5 percent year-over-year and down 13.7 percent compared to 2008. Trailers or containers at 4,108,176 are up 10.4 percent year-over-year and down 8.1 percent compared to 2008.
The strong sequential growth in recent weekly railroad volumes serves as confirmation of previous so-called "green shoots" that railroad volumes were rebounding, according to industry experts.
Of the 19 products tracked by the AAR, 15 were up year-over-year, with metallic ores up 10.2 percent and metals up 79.7. Farm products excluding grain were down 12.2 percent.
Weekly rail volume was estimated at 32.1 billion ton-miles, an 11.8 percent year-over-year gain. And total volume year-to-date at 618.0 billion ton-miles was up 7.5 percent year-over-year.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Solar Heat Gain Coefficient?
Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) measures how well a product blocks heat from the sun. SHGC is expressed as a number between 0 and 1. The lower the SHGC, the better a product is at blocking unwanted heat gain. Blocking solar heat gain is particularly important during the summer cooling season.
What is a U-Factor?
U-Factor measures how well a product prevents heat from escaping a home or building. U-Factor ratings generally fall between 0.20 and 1.20. The lower the U-Factor, the better a product is at keeping heat in. U-Factor is particularly important during the winter heating season.
What information is needed to order parts for my product?
It is important to have as much detailed information as possible. Proper measurements for sash/panel replacement, as well as, your product series number are necessary for us to place an order for you. If needed, visual aides, such as emailing pictures of your product can also be of assistance.
What documents do I need to provide in order to show proof of purchase or that I am the original homeowner?
Any form of documentation that states the date you purchased the product/home is helpful. The builder would have the records of sale which would have this information as well. Tax assessment papers showing the year that the home was built, customer receipt, or invoice would also include this information.
