Thunder: Rest, relaxation have been the orders from Thunder training staff
Kevin Durant received a text message from Thunder head athletic trainer Joe Sharpe over the weekend. It had explicit instructions for how Durant should handle a rare two days off.
"'Stay in bed for 10 hours,'" Durant said the text read.
For once, Durant listened.
"That's what I tried to do to get my body back and programmed to being in Oklahoma City," Durant said.
The Thunder returned early Saturday morning from a season-long, five-game road trip. It spanned eight days, starting in San Antonio before culminating in Salt Lake City. Another grueling stretch is on tap, as the Thunder will now play seven games over the next 10 days, which explains at Sharpe's suggestion.
But six of the next seven will be played inside Chesapeake Energy Arena, and the Thunder has the unusual luxury of kicking off this stretch Tuesday night against Utah on the heels of a three-day break between games. Because of the lockout-shortened and compacted season, it's the only time this season, excluding the All-Star break and the season opener, that the Thunder will have three days between games.
It couldn't have come at a better time.
"I did feel it for once after we played Golden State in that back-to-back," Durant said of the season taking a toll. "But just having these three days is really going to help me get back to my body being on the right stage and ready to play."
Anyone who has followed Durant closely throughout his four-plus NBA seasons knows he never admits to being fatigued. Still just 23, Durant has consistently reasoned that he's young and could and would play 48 minutes every night if he could.
But this season's grind is different.
"Before the games, I was sleepy," Durant confessed about the recent road trip. "It took me a couple of minutes to really get revved up and going. But now, to be at home and have three days off, hopefully I can feel good from the beginning."
With three or more days of rest last season, Durant averaged 28 points and 7.1 rebounds, numbers that narrowly trailed only his 30.9-point, 7.3-rebound average on two days of rest.
Russell Westbrook was at his best last season when getting three-plus days of rest. In his five games that came on three or more days of rest, Westbrook averaged 23.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 9.0 assists and 0.8 blocks in those games, while adding 1.8 steals.
James Harden, meanwhile, was the lone member of the Thunder's top trio who failed to take advantage of the ample rest last season. Harden averaged 10.6 points, 3.0 rebounds and 0.8 assists while shooting just 38.5 percent on three-plus days of rest, his lowest numbers in back-to-backs or any amount of days off.
Thunder coach Scott Brooks resisted the urge to hold practice Sunday, saying he felt his team needed and deserved the day off. The decision gave Thunder players Saturday and Sunday off, a rarity that Brooks likened to a high school team's schedule.
"We've had a tough stretch of games the last three or four weeks, and we have a tough stretch of games coming up," Brooks said.
With 27 games in the books, minutes will soon become more important to watch. So far, the Thunder has benefited from a few early season blowouts, which allowed the starters to sit the entire fourth quarter in four games this season. Still, the core three of Westbrook, Harden and Durant are near or above their minute averages from last season.
Durant is averaging 38 minutes this year after logging 39.4 through 27 games last season. Westbrook is averaging 35.1 minutes, just 1.5 fewer than his per game rate last year. And Harden is up significantly, now at 31.4 minutes after averaging just 25.5 through this point last year.
But with this Thunder team, 22-year-olds Harden and Serge Ibaka, as well as 23-year-old All-Stars Durant and Westbrook, might not need the rest as much as veterans such as Kendrick Perkins, 27, Nick Collison, 31, and Nazr Mohammed, 34.
"I think everybody needs time off no matter how old you are in this league. But you just have to be wise about it," Brooks said. "I've been on teams when you had 33- to 36-year-old guys. They practiced, but they only practiced a third of the practice. They would warm up and warm down. They tried to trick the whole team like they were practicing. But that's part of being a veteran. You've earned that right."

About AB
Argja Bóltfelag, often known more simply as AB, was first established in August 1973 and began regular competitive play the following year. Throughout history, the club have spent most of their time in the lower divisions of the Faroe Islands' league pyramid, but have grown in stature since the turn of the millennium. Their nickname is 'Frensurin'.
Based in the village of Argir, the team originally had to play home matches in Tórshavn, due to the absence of a football field in their home village. During this time, they also had to utilise a school playground for training purposes. This changed in the early 1980s, when a football field was installed and gradually the club's facilities have improved ever since.
Tórálvur Stenberg took over as the club's chairman in 2000 and masterminded their dramatic rise to prominence. During his time in the role, the club was able to gain promotion from the country's third tier all the way up to the Faroe Islands Premier League, which they eventually reached in 2006. Unfortunately, Stenberg passed away before he was able to see the team make their debut in the division. Their first season was largely unsuccessful and resulted in relegation, but AB were able to return to the top flight after just one season back in the second tier.
Notable players to represent the club have included Rúni Nolsøe, Allan Mørkøre and Rógvi Poulsen. In addition, two of Tórálvur Stenberg's sons, Jónas and Heðin Stenberg, currently play for the side, continuing his legacy. Jónas Stenberg was named the club's player of the year for the 2007 season.
AB's home matches are now played at Argir Stadium, which is also sometimes known as Inni í Vika Stadium. It underwent renovations in 2010 and is currently able to hold up to 2,000 supporters.

I recently purchased this beautifully-maintained convertible having 116K on the odometer. The vehicle's only serious flaw is its lack of structural integrity manifasted by serious "cowl shake" experienced on all but smooth roads. I replaced all four shocks but have not felt any difference.

What happens if the host of the baby shower and the mother-to-be disagree on details of the baby shower such as the guest list, etc.?
For example, my sister-in-law is throwing me a baby shower and she believes that it should be women only... and that only my husband's side of the family should be invited.
Is it rude to demand (well demand is probably not the best word... strongly encourage) my wishes? I think it's silly to not invite men, especially my husband, because he is going to be taking care of this baby as much as I am.
As far as not inviting my family... I can understand that because one might assume that my family will throw me a shower (which they would) but is that rude for her to not offer to invite my family?
I am so clueless about etiquette.

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — The landslide passage of liquor privatization in Washington has been closely watched in other states that still maintain strong government controls — particularly Washington's two neighbors.
Northwest Grocery Association officials said Wednesday that industry leaders will likely begin talks in the coming months with liquor regulators and lawmakers in both Oregon and Idaho. He said both states have different systems from Washington, meaning that the rules proposed by Initiative 1183 likely won't be replicated.
About 18 states have broad control over liquor distribution, and lawmakers in those states have frequently examined the possibility of privatization.
Washington's initiative campaign got a $22 million boost from retailing giant Costco Wholesale Corp. Unofficial results show it passing with 60 percent of the vote.

The Expenditure of Energy in Musicians
Under the direction of Prof. A. Loewy of Davos and H. von Schroetter of Vienna, as reported in the Klinische Wochenschrift, air-tight masks and rubber hoods were applied to the heads of members of the Davos orchestra and to a number of singers, both men and women. Thus, by means of gas meters, the amount of energy expended in singing and in playing various instruments was measured. The results show that the expenditure of energy in whistling, speaking and singing, and, strange to say, in the playing of brass instruments is comparatively slight. Pianists and players of stringed instruments consume much more energy. The amount of energy expended by the director of the orchestra appears to be exceedingly slight.

Jason Castro
Last autumn, Saturday Night Live aired a fake talk-show sketch poking fun at contemporary mellow pop strummers like Jason Mraz and Dave Matthews, in which Andy Samberg—appearing as surfer-turned-bastion-of-calm Jack Johnson—punctuated dialogue with punch line non-sequiturs like "vegan brownies." Season 7 American Idol finalist Jason Castro belongs to this august lineage, whose leading lights seem like the kind of guys who take their pet iguanas everywhere, are in possession of copious Bob Marley bootlegs, and have packed and passed their fair share of peace pipes. On Idol, Castro's glassy expression, "Ras Trent" dreads, and giggly general mien left little doubt as to how he probably spends his spare time; if it hadn't been for the buttery, naturalistic warmth of his voice and savvy nature of his cover choices, it'd be easy to laugh off his manner and popularity. As postponements for his debut album—due in late March, as of press time—pile up, it's worth noting that several Season 8 Idol contenders already have product on the market, which encourages speculation that the green in Castro's garden isn't entirely decorative. But it could just as easily mean that he's polishing a humdinger of a debut. With Matt Hires and Caitlin Crosby. 18+. (Photo by Marc Hom)

Army Wife Told Not To Breastfeed Gets Much-Needed ApologyMonica Bielanko
The army wife who was asked to leave a military housing office when she began nursing her daughter has received a much needed apology.
Jess Lanham was waiting with her 8-month-old daughter at the military housing office on the Fort Bragg army base when the girl got hungry, as babies tend to do. While filling out paperwork in a private office, Lanham covered herself, unbuttoned her top and discreetly let the girl latch on.
As Strollerderby's Madeline Holler originally reported, the housing representative with whom Lanham was meeting told her to stop. When Lanham declined the office workers responded by packing up Lanham's paperwork and asking her to come back "at a more appropriate time".
Lanham later detailed the account on an open parenting forum:
I had the little kids with me. We were in a private office at the end of a hall. I had Zoey in a sling, wearing a button down shirt, tank and had the sling end over my shoulder when I was asked to leave. Because they needed to maintain a "business atmosphere". I argued with the woman for a few minutes, but she refused to do my paperwork unless we left or I stopped nursing. I pull Zoey off, take her out of the sling and bounce her until our paperwork is done… "So happy my husband is fighting for our freedom in Afghanistan, but I can't even breastfeed my child on an Army base."
Lanham said she stopped feeding Zoey so she would be able to finish her housing application. Afterward, she went to Olive Garden restaurant and nursed her baby there without any problems.
Now, Picerne housing, where Lanham was filing paperwork, has issued an apology. Kelly Douglas, a Picerne spokeswoman, apologized in an email to the Observer on Tuesday and also called Lanham to apologize. Douglas says the company is going to make sure it doesn't happen again. "We deeply regret comments made by our employees that were offensive to Mrs. Lanham," Douglas said. "We plan to educate all of our employees to promote more sensitivity to breast-feeding mothers."

The Wall Street Journa,l has reported on a study that shows that if you read in iPad and some similar devices before you try to go to sleep, the process of dozing off will take longer than if you read a regular book.
The problem is a blue light that the devices emit. It disrupts the release of the chemical that helps you go to sleep.
If you're like me, you don't need anything to get in the way of getting in the right number of hours to keep me on my toes through the day.
An outfit called Quartz has just released a list of the 10 books that were most often mentioned in tweets on Twitter.
The Infodocket website says the list was generated from more than 80 million tweets analyzed by BookVibe.
So, at No. 1, there is no surprise: "The Fault in Our Stars" by John Green. No surprise because the movie came out this year and was a hit, and books associated with movies always generate social-media activity.
No. 2 is no mystery, either: "A Game of Thrones" for the same reason.
Another John Green novel called "Looking for Alaska" is at No. 3. I have no clue why that would be tweeted so many times.
I figure that No. 4's "To Kill a Mockingbird" is ranked because it was required reading in a lot of English classes.
And No. 5 is "Hannibal" by Thomas Harris, which must be related to the series that continued running this year on NBC.
So, what about "Looking for Alaska?"
Help me out here.
So, the sorry little dictator in charge of North Korea wins Round 1.
He hacks Sony and spreads its laundry all across the web. Then he wins Round 2: He scares movie-house owners into believing he'll targe them if they play a movie that has his assassination as a central plot point. Then he wins Round 3: He gets Sony to abandon the film altogether.
For Round 4, he now threatens the United States with -- well, something -- if we retaliate for the hack attack.
So, what should the world's most powerful nation do?
Maybe take a play from Israel's game dealing with Iranian nuclear weapons manufacturing plants.
And take a play from Putin's game dealing with powerful internal enemies.
Surely there's a way to deal with the little man and his minions that Silicon Valley could figure out.
President Obama is right: He can't be allowed to get away with telling us what to publish.
When, as editor of the newspaper in Wichita Falls, I studied the Census data released in 2001 and 2002, one fact really popped out: The number of Anglos was in decline and the number of Hispanics was on the rise.
I broke the numbers down as far as possible and came to the fairly easy conclusion that the future leadership pool for Wichita Falls and that region was going to be Hispanic, not old white guys.
So, along with a community foundation director, I set about trying to get the younger Hispanics involved in local elections and as local decision-makers. That involved quite a number of initiatives, most of which were still under way when I left Wichita Falls in 2007.
I mention this because at the same time I was looking at Wichita Falls' future, I was also looking at Texas' future, and they were on parallel paths.
Seems as if I were clairvoyant. Now comes Richard Parker, a Wimberley author, in a book entitled "Lone Star Nation: How Texas Will Transform America," in which he argues that Texas needs to be sure to educate the young Hispanics because the state's future depends on them.
I have not read Parker's book yet, and am familiar with his thinking only because I read about it in the Sunday American-Statesman.
All I can say is that it certainly appear that Parker is right, at least to someone who is familiar with the data.
The big question is whether the state's leadership, which is mostly old white guys, will pay attention or whether they will try to hold onto their power to the detriment of the state's development.
This week's report about the closing and opening of magazines during 2014 contained no surprises at all.
MediaFinder.com said 190 magazines were launched this year, compared to 185 last year. Ninety-nine magazines closed, compared to 56 in 2013.
Among those that were closed was USA Weekend, a bit of fluff that's been around for about 20 years or so.
USA Weekend was a competitor for Parade magazine. Newspapers could buy one of the publications for Sunday distribution. The idea was that a Sunday magazine would be a bonus for weekend editions.
I would imagine that Parade is on its last legs. It sure looks like it when I open the pathetic little effort out of the American-Statesman's Sunday paper.
I'm not surprised, either, that so many monthly publications are closing. The idea of receiving a magazine once a month is just plain quaint in this day and age. I only subscribe to one these days, and I read it online, which is not a good way to access the material.
Most of the magazines launched this year were regional in subject matter, like California Home & Design. That makes sense. You're less likely to run across information like that offered in regional publications in online sources.
Print's future in the magazine realm may well be in things like Texas Monthly, not in things like The Nation and Time and Newsweek.

Working seven days a week and 11 hours a day, Daniel earns about 2,200,000 SLL (Sierra Leone leones) every month from this business. He would like a loan in the amount of 6,000,000 SLL. Daniel has already received and successfully repaid four loans, and now requires a new loan in order to buy clutches, fan belts, brake oil, plugs, carbon brushes, etc.
In the future, Daniel plans educate his children, acquire a bigger shop and to become an international businessman. This loan will help him to generate more income. Daniel is a very hardworking and devoted man with good vision. He thanks ARD for improving his business. He thanks you for your support.

Additional Information
About the Association for Rural DevelopmentThe Association for Rural Development (ARD) is one of the leading microfinance institutions in Sierra Leone. Established in 1989, ARD has offered individual and group loans to support small-scale businesses across the country for two decades. You can learn more about ARD on its partner profile page, support the organization and its staff by joining the ARD lending team, or lend to another one of its borrowers currently raising funds on Kiva.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

text: 12 Dec 2013 Ski gear reviews: women's on-piste skis for experts Previous slide Next slide 1 of 11 View All Skip Ad On-piste 2013/14 These skis are intended for fast, aggressive skiing. Their narrow waists are designed to optimise grip on ice and firm snow, and they're generally relatively stiff to boost stability. Credit: Adrian Myers Armada Tryst £500 Best for: Big carved arcs The Trysts have a partial cap construction, with a wood core reinforced with carbon, Kevlar and titanal. They have traditional camber. As well as scoring well in the on-piste categories, they also perform reasonably well off piste. Strong and powerful, they're great for long carved turns at speed. They provide good grip and are very stable. They're also strong when coming out of the turn, but are better for long turns than short. Pros: Long turns, high speed, versatility, groomed piste Cons: Short turns, low speed Lengths 164, 171 Sidecut 117/77/104 (164) Radius 15.3m (164) Atomic Cloud D2 73 £460 (includes bindings) Best for: Zippy edge changes The Cloud D2 73s use Atomic's Doubledeck structure, which means the skis are built in two parts - the main part of the ski, the "lower deck", has a synthetic core cap construction, with rocker on the front 10 cent. The "upper deck", to which the binding is fitted, is attached loosely to the "lower deck", allowing the ski to flex freely and absorb vibrations. These almost feel like slalom race skis, zippy and quick off the edges. Pros: Short turns, liveliness/responsiveness Cons: Long turns, straight-line stability, smoothness Lengths 143, 151, 159, 167 Sidecut 116/73/101 (151) Radius 12.5m (151) Blizzard Viva 600 Full Suspension £559 (includes bindings) Best for: Extreme grip and response The vibration-absorbing Full Suspension system incorporates an oil-filled piston beneath the bindings, which is attached to arms extending along the topsheet. These sidewall construction skis have a wood core and are rockered at the tips and tails. They are best in the pack for edge hold, short turns, liveliness/responsiveness and groomed piste, and also score outstandingly in all other criteria. Hard, strong and highly responsive, their incredible edge hold makes steep, icy terrain seem flat and powdery. Lively, fun and playful, they're still beautifully stable at higher speeds and a joy for fast aggressive skiing. Pros: Edge hold, short turns, liveliness/responsiveness, groomed piste Cons: None Lengths 153, 160, 167 Sidecut 119/72/102 (all lengths) Radius 15m (160) Credit: michael huber I www.huber-fotografie.at Fischer My Style Trinity £380 (includes bindings) Best for: Easy cruising at moderate speeds The Trinitys have rocker at the tips and a sidewall construction. Their wood core is reinforced with carbon-fibre. These are easy going skis which enable smooth edge changes - they are solid all rounders. However, they lack edge hold and have a tendency to drift through the turn, and they're not as stable at high speeds. Pros: Low speed, groomed piste Cons: Edge hold, off piste, moguls Lengths 150, 155, 160, 165 Sidecut 118/68/100 (all lengths) Radius 13m (160) Völkl Allura £575 (includes bindings) Best on tet Best for: Energetic long turns in all snow types The Alluras are rockered at the tips and have a cap construction with a wood core. They have a large taper - wide tips with narrow tails - and so initiate turns very easily. Great for those who like higher speeds, these generate real energy in medium to long radius turns. They dominate this group in nine of the 12 performance criteria. Stable, with fab grip, they're versatile and lively and work at all speeds. They are perhaps slightly less effective in short turns and moguls, but still score well in these. Pros: Long turns, straight-line stability, high speed, low speed, smoothness, liveliness/responsiveness, versatility, off piste, groomed piste Cons: None Lengths 144, 151, 158, 165 Sidecut 125/75/96 (all lengths) Radius 15.3m (158) Salomon W Kart £375 (includes bindings) Best value Best for: Pacy, active skiers The W Karts have a cap construction with a wood core, supported with titanium. They have Salomon's magnesium-reinforced Powerline strips running along the topsheet, and the front 10 per cent of the skis is rockered. They score particularly strongly for short turns, high speed, smoothness and groomed piste. They deliver power and stability with ease, but need a little work to get the best out of them. Once you have them moving, they dance easily from edge to edge. Pros: Short turns, high speed, smoothness, groomed piste Cons: Off piste Lengths 145, 153, 161, 169 Sidecut 124/73/107 (161) Radius 12m (161) Nordica Unknown Legend £500 (includes bindings) Best for: Stability in fast, long turns These have a sidewall construction, incorporating a wood core reinforced with titanium. The front 10 per cent of the Unknown Legends is rockered. Great fun at speed, these hold an edge well and are smooth in the transitions. They are dependable and moderately stiff, so are less forgiving and not as well suited to those who are just progressing into the expert category. They score consistently across all criteria. Pros: Long turns, straight-line stability, high speed, liveliness/responsiveness, groomed piste Cons: Off piste Lengths 144, 152, 160, 168, 176 Sidecut 130/80/113 (168) Radius 14m (168) K2 SuperBurnin 74 £500 Best for: Relaxed all mountain cruising The SuperBurnin 74s have a sidewall construction, an aspen/paulownia/bamboo wood core reinforced with fibreglass and titanal, and an X-shaped carbon support near the tip. There is rocker on the front 10 per cent of the skis. Nice and easy going, they're stable in long turns and quite versatile for all mountain skiing. They're not the most agile in short turns though, and prefer low speeds to high. Pros: Versatility, groomed piste, moguls Cons: Short turns, high speed Lengths 146, 153, 160, 167 Sidecut 115/74/107 (all lengths) Radius 13m (160) Head MYA No. 7 £585 (includes bindings) Best for: Advanced skiers looking to improve The front 10 per cent of the MYA No. 7s is rockered. The tips contain Head's Intellifibres, which sense vibrations and stiffen the ski to counteract them. Also included is KERS, an electronic system to release energy at the end of the turn. They have a sidewall construction with a wood core. They are best in the group for moguls and also perform strongly for short turns, long turns and smoothness. These dependable all-rounders are smooth at speed and very stable through the turn. They're ideal for advanced improvers as they're more forgiving than some, but still deliver great performance when worked hard. Pros: Short turns, long turns, smoothness, moguls Cons: Off piste Lengths 149, 156, 163, 170 Sidecut 118/66/97 (163) Radius 13.2m (163) Rossignol Unique 8 £515 (includes bindings) Best for: All-mountain speed and stability The Unique 8s have rocker on the front 10 per cent of the skis. Their partial cap construction contains a paulownia wood core, hollowed out to make it lighter, and reinforced with linen, basalt and titanal. They perform excellently for long turns, low speed, versatility, groomed piste and moguls, and also score well in the other seven criteria. They're lively and quick from edge to edge, while also being stable and solid. They have a lot to offer, including moderate all-terrain performance - put the effort in and you'll receive a great deal of energy back from these skis. Pros: Long turns, low speed, versatility, groomed piste, moguls Cons: None Lengths 142, 149, 156, 163 Sidecut 125/75/106 (all lengths) Radius 14m (163) Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image Back to image

Not sure if this has been asked before (a quick search didn't reveal anything obvious), but I'm looking for a video card that fits the following requirements. I've searched around a bit before asking (and list some of the results at the end of this post), but I wanted to get a second opinion before I jump into buying something that ends up being useless.
So, the requirements:
- PCI express x1 or x16
- preferably supports HDMI out, or at least DVI that can be used with a converter (not really sure how this works)
- can be used with a 250w power supply
- compatible with debian lenny for the amd64 architecture
- preferably can display video without needing a GUI installed
I've found the following x1/x16 cards with HDMI out, but I'm not sure if they're linux compatible and their power requirements make me a little concerned. Here they are:
Newegg Product Comparison Page (oddly enough, this massive link didn't work...hmm.)
Thanks! Let me know if you need more information, too.
EDIT: Per the commenters' helpful suggestions, I've decided to upgrade to a 350w power supply.

Hello my Lovie-Dovies,
I'm back with a super killer-willer Upper Body Workout. I named the workout Fitness Nymph because I like fairy tales and Fairies and Nymphs because they can do magic, just like my workouts :). I've also done the cardio bonus at the end, which we didn't film because we were running out of camera time, but after the bonus my arms are completely dead, it was such a great challenge though.read more

Bonded dogs need a family to adopt both
LAKE FOREST – Daisy, a brindle boxer, won't let Buster, a fawn-colored boxer, out of her sight.
She cries if rescue volunteers take him from their shared dog run without her — even if it's just a foot away. Buster crowds next to Daisy whenever he can, leaving barely an inch of space between them. They cuddle when they sleep.
Rescuers with Lifeline Animal Rescue believe the dogs were raised and likely bred together in Riverside County. Evidence points to the fact that Daisy has been overbred, producing as many as four litters of puppies in four years, said Francine Shute, vice president of the Lake Forest-based rescue group.
"We think they were used by backyard breeders who dumped them at the shelter once they were used up," Shute said. "They were purebred dogs that were never claimed. A female can only have so many babies. We've found it's a common thing for people to make money off them and then dump them when they want younger dogs for breeding. It's like they were done with them."
The dogs were also abandoned together and stayed on death row at the Rancho Cucamonga Animal Shelter together. They were rescued by Lifeline just before their time was up. The group has kept them for more than five months, hoping to find them even a foster home. The catch is the two dogs have to be kept together wherever they go.
"They are so bonded, they won't even stay in separate dog runs," Shute said. "They get anxious and look around for each other. If one is walked without the other, they cry. The only thing they don't share is food. Buster is a total chow hound; Daisy will give up food for love. She wags her little nub so much, it's like she going to lift off the ground. She would kiss you raw if you let her."
Both are in excellent health. Daisy has been spayed. Buster has been neutered. They have their shots and are microchipped. Shute is hopeful that someone might be willing to foster or even adopt them.
Since they were rescued, group volunteers have played with and walked them daily. They are being boarded with a South County veterinarian, but Shute said she would like to see them with a family. The ideal scenario would be a permanent home, but Shute said even a foster situation would help.
"We want to get them out of the dog run and into someone's home," she said. "We pay for all the fostering, including food, leashes and medical needs."
Fosters usually keep a pet from two weeks to about four months. By then, a permanent home is likely found.
The ideal situation would be someone familiar with the boxer breed. They love children. They're both active and like to run. Boxers are dogs that enjoy being with people and not kept alone in a yard. They like to wrestle and play.
"They're like a little married couple," Shute said. "They're just adorable."

How to Make African American Hair Grow Faster
There are a lot of ways to ensure the steady growth and overall health of your hair as an African American woman. Natural hair is versatile and very forgiving just as long as you're committed to meeting it's needs on a regular basis. However, the hardest part is understanding what those needs are, learning how your hair "works", and understanding why it responds to certain treatments the way that it does.
So, you want to learn how to grow your hair faster? Then keep reading for tips on what you'll need to know.

"How to Grow African Hair Faster and Longer"
Per the merge policy, if these topics are determined to be similar but distinct, then the articles will remain separate. Please comment on the discussion page. Notice added on 2013-07-24.
1First things first: hair grows at a rate of 1/2 an inch per month. There are no special serums, fancy moisturizers, or herbal medications powerful enough to make your hair grow any faster than that. However, a growth rate of this magnitude means that you could shave your hair in January and have 6 inches (15.2 cm) of growth by December - a probability that's very possible. The only thing that prevents most women from reaching this kind of length is poor hair care techniques and a lack of consistency in their regimen.
2To grow longer hair you'll need to be sure that you understand the basics. Natural hair thrives when well-moisturized, grows to it's full potential when put in protective styles or is rarely manipulated, and retains length when protected. And the best ways to protect your hair are to wear your satin night cap every evening, to limit your use of heat styling tools, and get rid of any harsh/metal hair accessories to prevent your hair from snagging.
3And, lastly, get rid of any split ends. If you're taking good care of your hair it won't be necessary to get "regular" trims. But, whenever they do appear it is always best to take care of them as soon as possible.

Bulldog Track & Field/Cross Country Blog

May 7, 2010
FRESNO, Calif.
Fresno State sophomore shot put thrower Rosario Sanchez said her throwing coach Lisa Misipeka regularly tells her that if she takes 2,000 throws, maybe 10 of them will be good.
If Sanchez could, she would take all of those 2,000 throws in one day just to become a better thrower. Sanchez appreciates her sport in a way that differs from most college athletes and for good reason.
The Bulldogs' star thrower fought through trials and tribulations on her road to finding success at the Division I level, and it started with a move to the United States in 2004.
"It never really crossed my mind to move to this country," Sanchez said. "To me it was like a dream come true. I never really expected it, but I am loving it now that I am here."
`Rosie,' as her friends affectionately call her, won the 2004 Central American and the Caribbean games for her native country and said it wasn't because she was the most prepared athlete in the field.
"Fortunately, I came in first place. That was my last big win in Mexico," Sanchez said. "I was happy with the result, but I knew that wasn't enough. It happened because of destiny, or something, I don't know. I wasn't well prepared for that competition. I didn't have a coach or physical preparation. It was just natural."
After winning the Central American and Caribbean games in 2004, Sanchez said that she and her family decided to more aggressively pursue her throwing ability and search for better competition. At the time, Sanchez' brother was living in Selma, Calif., and told her about the opportunity to compete for Selma High.
After weighing the options, Sanchez' parents decided that a move to the United States would be the best thing for their daughter's future.
"My parents and I made a big sacrifice so I could come here and start all over again and become a great athlete," Sanchez said.
Sanchez said that moving to the United States posed a lot of difficulties for her, like the language barrier, but the most difficult thing to overcome was leaving her hometown and leaving her extended family behind. She said she grew up knowing everyone in her town and didn't have an easy transition to her new life.
"It was tough for me," Sanchez said. "It was a totally different environment for me. I had to learn and grow, not only as an athlete, but as a person."
But Sanchez stuck it out and she eventually came to Selma High and was offered a scholarship to throw for the Bulldogs.
But tragedy struck at the end of her season year. Her father passed away in spring of 2007.
Sanchez said that after that passing of her father she had such a tough time leaving Selma to come to Fresno for school that fall.
"I have come through a lot, especially with my family. Leaving them all behind was tough. I had to adapt to that," Sanchez said.
The main way that she adapted to the void in her life and again uprooting for new opportunities was in the seven-foot shot put ring. Sanchez worked hard that offseason in preparation for her freshman season at Fresno State. During that season, Sanchez rose to second all-time on the Fresno State women's shot put record and competed in the NCAA Championships.
Her journey continued to prove to be a winding one, but Sanchez said she took it all in as an opportunity to learn and grow. And that attitude continues to be something she carries with her.
"It was a great year and I experienced a lot of great things, but it never stops," Sanchez said. "The next year I was learning even more things and this year I am learning even more. It's a process. It's life."
Sanchez invested much of herself into throwing in her freshman year and was poised to continue her success into 2009, but she lost her entire year to a serious ankle injury.
Sanchez hurt her ankle in the preseason and then again at the season's midpoint. The injury required surgery by the end of the season. Sanchez was devastated and went through one of the worst times of her life that year not only as an athlete, but as a person.
"There was a point where I felt like the loneliest person in the whole world," Sanchez said. "I can't describe how hard it was for me. But there is always that person who can pick you up and make you believe that everything is possible. Talking with my coaches, teammates, friends and my brother, they helped me realize that it's not over. Like my coach says, `Sometimes injuries are a blessing.'"
Spending that whole season injured forced Sanchez to reconsider her priorities in life. She leaned on friends and family to make it through the injury, but said that she knew she would come back with a new fire and a new hunger when she got back in the ring.
"I want to prove to my family, and anyone else, that anything is possible," Sanchez said. "I want them to see that no matter what happens, there is always a way to succeed."
When she completed her rehabilitation, Sanchez was excited to get back out in the ring. She now feels like 2010 has been a special season for her - one she in which she vales each of those 2,000 throws.
"Throwing again was the best feeling I had for a long time," Sanchez said. "I was hungry for success and to be out in the ring again competing against other athletes."
Rosie said that she has a few goals for the remainder of her career as a Bulldog: She wants to own the school record, to win the Western Athletic Conference championship and be ready to compete for Mexico in the 2012 Olympics.
It seems like so much for one person to accomplish. But Rosie Sanchez has proven that she isn't going to look back and ask, `What if?'
"No regrets, like they say. I want to live with no regrets," Sanchez said.

FRESNO, Calif.
Senior sprinter and hurdler Val-Pierre Dai'Re just ran his final meet at the Warmerdam Field and his career will soon come to an end as one of the most decorated student-athletes in Fresno State history.
He holds two Western Athletic Conference (WAC) championships, has qualified for the NCAA Tournament twice and is currently in the Top 10 in the West Region for 400-meter hurdles. Even though he is so accomplished, Dai'Re can't compare himself to one of Fresno State's all-time bests.
When Dai'Re came to Fresno State five years ago as a freshman high hurdler, he said he idolized former Bulldog sprinter and hurdler Ryan Moore.
"When I came in, he was my idol. That is who I looked up to," Dai-Re said. "He never let anyone out-work him and he never let anyone beat him in a race. When he got the baton, he didn't care who was in front of him. He was going after it."
Moore currently holds the record in the 400 intermediate hurdles, Dai-Re's main event, but Dai'Re is quickly approaching his mark. In fact, the two were just voted to the GoBulldogs.com All-Decade track and field team. There was only one spot for runner - and they tied in voting for the honor.
Even though the two 'Dogs' careers are on such similar trajectories, Dai-Re says he feels he will never be on the same level as Moore.
"In my eyes, I could shatter his record by 18 seconds, but I still don't think I would be as good as Ryan Moore," Dai-Re said. "I just can't see myself at that level."
Last week at the Brutus Hamilton in Berkeley, Calif., Dai-Re moved one step closer to holding the 400-meter hurdles record.
Dai-Re ran a personal record 50.74 at Berkeley on April 24. Moore's school record is 50.51. Dai-Re said he would peak by the time WAC championships rolls around, even though he has struggled at conference in the past.
"When I get to conference, I haven't run my best," Dai-Re said. "And when I do run well, it's in the relay because I am mad at my other events."
As the anchor, Dai-Re has brought home two WAC titles in the 4x400 relay. He is proud of those titles and wants another this season for the Bulldogs, but he is hungry for an individual title. But there is one man standing in the way.
When Dai-Re set his record last week at Berkeley, he finished in second place to Utah State's Nick Karren. Karren ran 50.7, only .04 seconds faster. The two have raced twice with Karren taking both by narrow margins.
"Each time at the very end he out-leaned me," Dai-Re said.
Dai-Re said that he cramped up at the final hurdle of the event, causing him to lose speed at the very end of the race even though he led Karren throughout. When he sees Karren again at the WAC championships, he expects a different outcome.
"At conference," Dai-Re said, "I should definitely have the school record and I should probably beat him."
Dai'Re said it is his focus and mental toughness that will carry him to a victory over Karren, a WAC title and a school record.
"I'm very mentally into my race," Dai-Re said. "Especially at conference - some people may say that I am mean, but I just get serious tunnel vision. I don't care what's going on. I know what I have to accomplish."
Dai'Re and the rest of the Bulldogs travel to Ruston, La., for the WAC Outdoor Championships May 12-15.

When Fresno State's senior cross country and track runner Frank Sanders was in high school, he said that he had no plans of attending college. He was on his way to joining the military and pursuing his dream of being an officer.
But when he was offered an athletic scholarship as a runner for the Bulldogs, Sanders thought twice about enlisting.
"It was the only reason why I came to Fresno, actually, it was the only reason why I went to college," Sanders. "I decided to pursue my dream of being a Division I college runner. If it wasn't for that, I would be in the military right now."
Sanders isn't an active member of the military, but he is a cadet in the Fresno State Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC). In his final year in the officer-training program, Sanders will soon realize his ultimate goal and become a commissioned officer on graduation day.
So he is going to live both dreams - Division I college athletics and a career as an officer in the United States Army. His career as a Bulldog has been highlighted by two Western Athletic Conference (WAC) championships in the 1,500-meter race, an All-WAC selection and an NCAA Regional qualification.
But Sanders feels like his best days as a runner are ahead of him and he has a new dream to chase - even though he is going to be an officer come May 21.
"It was actually until this year, senior year, that I thought I was going to be able to run in the professional field after I was done with college. I just figured I wouldn't be able to compete at that level," Sanders said. "I may have the ability to run with the professionals in the next Olympics."
In fact, Sanders said that one of his coaches at Fresno State also trains Olympic middle-distances runners and has begun supplementing Sanders' training with an Olympic regiment. After working hard on his Olympic-style training, Sanders said that he is nearly on pace to qualify for the Olympics as a miler now - and he still has two more years before the 2012 games.
The US military has a program for soldiers who are talented enough to qualify under the US National standard times. It is called the World Class Athlete Program and it is a group of active soldiers who train for the upcoming Olympics at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo. If the athletes can qualify for the Olympics, they will compete and represent both the military and the United States. If they do not qualify, they are recycled back into active duty.
Sanders is currently one second away from being accepted into the World Class Athlete Program and running for the Army instead of becoming a chemical officer for the time being. And the thought of being accepted into the program and competing in the Olympics has driven Sanders to new heights.
"It has made me go out and reach for the things that I personally never though that I was able to do," Sanders said.
It's safe to say that Sanders has a lot on his mind right now. He will be an officer in the United States Army in less than a month. He is going to graduate with a degree in exercise science on the same day. He is hoping to compete in the NCAA Championships in June. He is trying to remain in the national rankings as a middle-distance runner. He is training with the hopes of representing his country in the Olympics in 2012. Oh yeah, he and his wife just had their first child last December.
"Most of my time I am running, doing things for ROTC like helping other cadets," Sanders said. "But the real big thing is that just this last December I had a son. I am trying to balance right now being a good father and doing well in school, commissioning and staying nationally ranked."
All of Sanders' dream will be coming to fruition in the next few months with the hopes of the Olympics on the horizon. As he tried to look back on a successful running career as a Bulldog, Sanders couldn't help be look forward to the future and be excited for what life has in store.
"Every year has gotten better and better and better," Sanders said. "The end of this year will probably be my highlight. At the end of the track season when I potentially end up running at nationals, commissioning for the Army and getting my degree, those will be the highlights of my career."

This is my second year covering Fresno State cross country and I think I've fallen into a rut. The Bulldogs have a roster stocked full of talent, yet somehow, I always assume Erick Garcia will be atop of the men's finishers. Today when I looked at the results from the Bronco Invitational and saw a Fresno State finisher in second, without looking at a name, I mentally applied that finish to Garcia. It wasn't until I looked at the results further and saw Garcia listed as the team's third finisher that I realized someone else led the team this time, in this case junior Paul Zwama. That isn't to say Garcia is or isn't the most talented member of the team - that's hardly something I'm qualified to say. Garcia has led the 'Dogs in nearly every race in my time at Fresno State and qualifying as an individual for the NCAA Championships last season, so consciously or unconsciously, my mind has attributed the top spot to him.
I guess what I'm getting at is that with as much talent as Fresno State has on their roster, it's easy to assume one student-athlete is better than others, but that isn't necessarily the case. Most, if not all, of the Bulldogs in the team's top five could easily take over as the team's top finisher. I'm thankful that Zwama was the team's leader today, not because I want to see Garcia fail, but because it's a good reminder of our team's depth.
Congrats to Zwama and the entire team with their phenomenal finish in today's meet. I can't wait to see them compete at the WAC Championships on Oct. 31 in Reno, Nev.!

The Bulldog Cross Country season is underway and we have been working hard to prepare for the WAC and Regional races in November. This past weekend, a group of eight men and seven women made a long series of flights and van rides to arrive in South Bend, Ind., for the prestigious Notre Dame Invitational. Despite delayed flights, missed connections and defective tires, we were determined to give our best effort. The men were entered in the Blue Division race consisting of many nationally ranked teams. Because we only have one senior on the squad, most of us had never been in such a high caliber race. We learned how to get off the line quickly and the importance of grouping up as a team to work together when we become fatigued. We had high goals for the race and were disappointed with the way things turned out. However, the experience we gained in Indiana will stick with us for races to come and we will work harder each day, using the race as motivation in the future. We are training well and are looking forward to the Santa Clara Invitational next weekend (10/17) where we will see most of the WAC teams. So until then, No Regrets ... Just Do It -- Go Dogs!

North Carolina lawmakers are moving to change gambling laws and allow the state's only casino to offer live dealer poker and blackjack games.
Legislation introduced in the General Assembly on Wednesday would validate a gambling compact reached in November between Gov. Beverly Perdue and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.
The key changes allow live dealers for card games like poker and blackjack at the tribe's western North Carolina casino, with a share of the revenue from the new games going to the state. The 30-year agreement would begin sharing 4 percent of card-game revenues and increase that to 8 percent.
