Folks looking for a little exercise while supporting a good cause had plenty of reason to check out Greenville Sunday.
Metrics Incorporated and Indigreen Industrial Park played host to the 1st annual Leo Jenkins Cancer Center Pink Ribbon 5k fun run and one mile walk.
The event was created to benefit those suffering from breast cancer.
"It makes me very joyful," says Kathy Dutton a seven year Breast Cancer survivor.
"It's wonderful to be surrounded by all these great folks in our community that are supporting us as survivors today," Dutton said Sunday.
Around 200 people showed up Sunday afternoon to show their support for the cause.

As many of you can see by the web cam, the renovations at JT are moving quickly. I was able to tour the construction this past week but my batteries died in the camera so I didn't get very good photos, or very many.
Club section is nearly done. Basically, all that is left in the club section is finish work (installing flooring, fixtures, tables, etc.). The east concourse still needs to be repaved.
The field looks really good. The sod seems to be taking hold and it is hard to see any lines. They have removed all the old Iowa State markers from the sideline walls.
The suites still need some work. They are still working on installing movable glass windows in some of the suites, including in the press box. Some electrical panels are still being installed and after that it is mostly finishing work.
The concession stands are nearly completed. Some of the bathrooms already have the fixtures and stalls up and the others are almost there. The concessions appear to also be almost done.
They have also began paving the west concourse and are preparing to pour the steps. Something I didn't know, they are replacing some of the rails on the second deck.
Thanks for the update and photos!
Good to see progress, thanks for the update.
Thanks for the update and photos. What are they going to use to pave the concourse? Asphault or cement? Or are they going to use brick? What about the ramp going up from the gate to the concourse?
XXXX Master Shake is under gag order XXXX
thanks for the update.
would it be possible for someone to go over and get some shots of the west side - i'm curious to see the new suites and concessions.
Here is the web cam for the back wall of the west side concession stands: WebCam - Jack Trice Stadium - Improvements 2006. I'll see want I can come up with later this week and will add it to the original post above. Also, the first two pictures are of the west concourse concessions.

Killing One Owl Species To Save Another
Spotted owls are on the decline despite two decades of work to bring them back. So, later this month, wildlife officials are releasing a new plan to protect the owls, and it includes a controversial new approach: eliminating their cousins.
In a dense forest near Muir Woods, just north of San Francisco, National Park Service ecologist Bill Merkle plays a recording of a spotted owl in hopes of hearing from a real one.
"I think they're just probably 50 or 60 feet up there," he says.
Northern spotted owls became famous in the 1990s, when the federal government set aside millions of acres of forest to protect them. That stoked an epic battle between loggers and wildlife groups over their habitat. Since then, spotted owls haven't come back. Biologists believe that's due to an invasion of barred owls.
Barred owls take over spotted owl territory and in some cases even attack them. They have an advantage because they eat a wider variety of prey. In places like western Washington, the spotted owl population has been cut in half since the barred owl showed up.
"It's a troubling picture for the spotted owls," Merkle says.
Originally from the eastern U.S., barred owls invaded spotted owl territory in Washington state decades ago and, Merkle says, they've moved down the coast ever since.
"The barred owl is a little larger," he says. "It's a little more aggressive."
The Fish and Wildlife Service hopes to deal with this by "permanent removal," says Robin Bown, a biologist with the agency. "We're going to look at all potential opportunities, but the most humane way to do it is to shoot them."
Bown says the agency plans to eliminate barred owls from a few study areas to see if the spotted owls there do better. And yes, she says, shooting the barred owls will raise a few eyebrows.
"It's a difficult concept, to say I'm going to kill one species to try to save another species," she says. "But it's also something that, in some cases, we need to do."
Eric Forsman, a wildlife biologist with the U.S. Forest Service, says shooting owls isn't a long-term solution.
"To try to control barred owls across a large region would be incredibly expensive, and you'd have to keep doing it forever because if you ever stopped, they would begin to come back into those areas," he says.
That's why, Forsman says, it's looking pretty dismal for the spotted owl.
"I think all we can really do is try our best to provide [a] habitat for spotted owls and in the long run, we're just going to have to let the two species work it out," he says.

When hearing about proteins and amino acids, many of us have to think back to our middle school science classes. A swarm of polypeptides diagrams dance in our heads, and their meanings begin to escape us. As adults, it's definitely worth revisiting the basics to see how these proteins fit into our lifestyles and how they can improve our bodies.
It is common knowledge that organic food products have endless benefits, ranging from nutrition to the environment. For some, these benefits are well worth the switch to an organic lifestyle. For others, the advantages aren't clear. But while deciding how organic could play a role in your lifestyle, it's key to understand how the organic food system works.
While stressed, your body is in an emergency state: your brain releases adrenaline and cortisol (two chemicals that could cause depression), stress hormones cause your liver to produce more blood sugar and increase your risk for high blood pressure, high cholesterol and heart disease, among other possible risks. But don't worry; there are many natural ways to avoid stress and its hazardous side effects.
Gone are the days when supplements came in just pill form. Modern science has created for consumers several options for taking supplements, but the question remains: which way is best?

It's an hour to deadline, and you've been staring at a computer screen for hours after a bad night's sleep. You haven't eaten all day and that familiar pounding is starting up in the front of your skull. What do you do when aspirin isn't an option? Don't stress out! You'll give yourself a headache.
What's the best way to achieve a healthy smile? Regular use of toothpaste, floss and mouthwash, of course! But, there's a lot to learn about how natural ingredients support healthy gums and teeth, as well as some alternative ways to achieve long-term oral health.
"Dark chocolate is good for your heart! It's good for your brain! It energizes you!" Too often we hear about the health benefits of dark chocolate without much explanation of why it is good. These reports are not just a way to make us feel better about the sweets we ingest. So, what is it about dark chocolate that has nutrition enthusiasts so excited? It turns out it is not the sugary milk chocolate bar we can thank; it's cocoa.
The human liver performs about 500 vital functions in the body!

For children, half the fun of a new school year is the back-to-school shopping. It's an opportunity for them to get psyched up to do their best, no matter what grade they're in. Because the classroom supply budget at most schools is dwindling at a rapid pace, you can really do your part by having your children show up for class with the most essential products.
Some teachers prefer that students use mechanical pencils. Why? When children are constantly getting up to sharpen the old-fashioned kind, they are interrupting the whole class. Mechanical pencils last much longer. If your child prefers the old-fashioned style, just make sure that he or she has a portable pencil sharpener that can store the shavings, so he or she won't make a mess and waste more time cleaning up afterward.
All children need quality backpacks to ensure that they can haul their stuff around without it getting lost or damaged. Some kids prefer a themed backpack, but make sure that it is designed to protect their growing backs. Overloading a cheap backpack with books every school day is a sure-fire way to ensure your child winds up at the doctor with strained back muscles or compressed spinal discs.
To counteract this, wheeled bags and backpacks are allowed at some schools, as long as they are small enough to store in lockers or in the homeroom.
Many children have special needs, and if yours do, make sure that you're working with the teacher to provide the most vital products. For example, some kids prefer a very quiet environment for test-taking, so noise-canceling headphones may help them. Children with autism who dislike writing may prefer to use a small used laptop to type their stories or answers. Some schools may have grant money available if these products are too expensive for your budget.
Savvy back-to-school products don't have to be expensive or lavish – they just have to make sense for your child's particular needs.

NY man released after DNA tests, due in Vt. courtMay 15,2013
The Associated Press
MONTPELIER — A suburban New York man released from a life-without-parole sentence after new DNA tests cast doubt on his conviction for killing his wife in a Vermont condominium almost two decades ago is due to be arraigned again in the killing.
John Grega is scheduled to appear in court Thursday in Brattleboro on a charge of aggravated murder for the August 1994 death of his wife Christine Grega, who was killed in a Dover condominium where the couple and their young son were vacationing.
She had been beaten, sexually assaulted and strangled.
John Grega's 1995 conviction was vacated last summer after new tests found DNA of an unknown male in samples taken after Christine Grega's death.

LONDON (AP) — So You Think, an international star from Australia, has been retired because of a pulled muscle in his hindquarters.
The announcement Thursday comes two days before the 6-year-old horse was to run his final race in the Eclipse Stakes at Sandown Park. So You Think will enter quarantine and then stand at Coolmore Australia for a stud fee of $68,000.
So You Think won 10 Group 1 races, including the Prince of Wales' Stakes at Royal Ascot last month. Purchased as a yearling for $85,481, the horse earned $8.6 million.
A son of High Chaparral, So You Think was trained by Australian trainer Bart Cummings in the southern hemisphere. The horse was then bought by the Irish Coolmore stable in 2010 to race in Europe for trainer Aidan O'Brien.

The best part about upfronts is getting to see which of my favorite actors are going to be back after long absences. Yesterday, Fox announced that it was picking up The Goodwin Games starring my old fave Scott Foley. They also announced that they were moving forward with a show called The Mob Doctor starring Jordan Spiro (of the late, lamented My Boys). I didn't really have much of a reaction to this. I give every show a chance at the beginning of the year and I always liked Spiro so I knew going into it that The Mob Doctor would at least get one viewing on my DVR. Then I read this description from The Daily Beast:
From creators Josh Berman (Drop Dead Diva) and Robert Wright (Knight Rider) comes this medical drama, which revolves around a young female thoracic surgeon (My Boys' Jordana Spiro) who juggles her workload with another job: she's secretly a mob doctor who is working off a debt incurred by her ne'er-do-well brother. The pilot episode was directed by Michael Dinner (Justified), who also serves as an executive producer on the drama, which also stars Jaime Lee Kirchner, William Forsythe, Zach Gilford, James Carpinello, and Jesse Lee Soffer.
Yes, you read that correctly. A Friday Night Lights alum is coming back to TV after a way-too long absence. ZACH GILFORD!!! YAY!! Now, this show is going to turn into something that I actually root for. God, I hope it's good.

2004 Infiniti G35 Reviews
2004 Infiniti G35 Reviews and Owner Comments
Login to Review This Car
2004 Infiniti G35 (7 Reviews)
Love my 11 year old G35 Sedan AWD! I hate to be finally trading it in after 115K miles. I've had so few issues with the vehicle but the years start to accumulate small items you can't avoid. After 11 years it is still brutally quick and agile. The AWD has always been awesome. It used to be my snow skiing car since it handled snowy mountain passes so well as long as the snow wasn't too deep for its low profile. The dash control while simple were not cutting edge at the time and look and act outdated now. The driver's seat has worn poorly over the years as well. Those are my only regrets.
I started having trouble with my car a couple months ago. Before that well pleased. I was driving in town and all of sudden this loud noise. I thought my car was quitting. I took it in, they said the muffler has come apart from the inside and is causing a rattling noise. The dash vibrates going down the road. I didn't buy the idea. I took it back, had the pad and rotors changed and put new tires on. Its been 3 weeks, same noise is back. Sounds like the car is going to quit. What could it be? I have 125,000 miles. It's been well taken care of. Always serviced on time etc. Have loved the way it drives on the road. Don't know what to do!
2004 infiniti g35 sedan rear wheel drive. Purchased car used with 103k miles. Enjoyable car to drive, performance,handling,styling,used model pricing all A plus. Should always run synthetic blend oil and premium fuel assuring optimum performance. Only defect i have found, was third brake light assembly went bad, common problem on this model $200. to replace. Fuel economy is much better on rear wheel drive model verse all wheel drive model.
INFINITI CUSTOMER SERVICE SUCKS!!- DO NOT BUY ONE!!I own a 2004 G35x - where do I start. My So-called stainless steel muffler had to be replaced when the car was 7 yrs old & I had to replace it. I called Infiniti and they said I live in Cleveland & considering the environment, it happens. I asked if they cld give me a discount and they STATED & I QUOTE "they reviewed my request & denied it because I DID NOT SPEND ENOUGH MONEY IN THEIR SERVICE DEPT, even though I only went to them for the 1st 5 yrs.THIS COST ME $1400.00 My Doors are RUSTING out do to faulty metal that was used. There is a 10 yr recall, but I have to have an actual HOLE in my doors in order for them to replace them. Totally embarrassed that everyone can see the rust coming through Same with RIMS. PITTED in the 1st 6 mo. I was told Sorry for your luck! I WOULD NEVER AND I MEAN NEVER BUY OR RECOMMEND AN INFINITI TO ANYONE. I OWNED A CADILLAC AND RIMS PITTED, THEY GAVE ME NEW RIMS!! AS I sit here are write this, my ABS, VDC off, AWD, and SLIP lights are on. Took vehicle to AutoZone, Sears and NTB- no code could be called up.. I think I have to go to the dealership- OH BOY-THINKING I'M GOING TO GET EFFED AGAIN.
I purchased my 2004 G35 Coupe new and took ownership in Sept 03. It is a great looking car that still is appealing today. The seats are super comfortable and the car is a rocket ship with super acceleration and great stopping ability. Now for the bad news. The fit and finish, especially for the interior is not up to par for a intro luxury car. There are tons of rattles coming from everywhere. I'm am a very conservative driver and have only driven a little over 33,000 miles in 5 1/2 years. The brakes were a problem for 03 and 04 G35s and the factory extended the warranty for 3yr/36,000 miles on brakes. I changed to ceramic pads and they are much quieter, cleaner, and should last longer than the 13,000 miles owners were getting out of the OEM pads. The biggest problem with all G35 Coupes are the tires. They all seem to feather on the front inside tires and develope alot of noise around 8,000 miles. The Coupes tires cannot be rotated because they are staggered (different size in front and back). The rear tires have their own unique problems. They wear prematurely on the middle treads. The back tires need to be replaced anywhere from 12,000-15,000 miles. Tires are the biggest cost of ownership for the G35 Coupe 03-07. The sedans do not have any issues here. The last problem is the paint is quite weak and very prone to chips on the front bumper and hood. There are numerous forums discussing the problems I have mentioned.
I've had the G35 coupe for a few years now (bought it used) and it has been a really nice car to drive. The engine is really powerful (much more so than my old corolla). Since I have an extended warranty I haven't really had to do much on the car. I would say that it feels a little heavy when taking tight turns but overall the handling is great. I just need to watch the accelerator. Fuel mileage is not that great...maybe 18mpg.
Fantastic car: quick, agile, and the AWD handles like a champ in the snow!

I just had my oil changed and a 12 point inspection done on my car 3 days ago. Tonight on the way home I noticed the oil light in my car would flash on and off red when braking and idleing. What's going on? Should it be towed? The oil level is perfect and the light does not stay on. Should I be concerned?

Outcomes of legislative elections are typically reported in terms of party support: how many votes and seats were obtained by each party? But in fact voters are faced with three choices which must be folded into one. They must decide which party they prefer, but in so doing they must takeaccount of the policies advocated by these parties and the leaders who will eventually have to enact them.This simple fact raises question about the relative weight of these considerations, and espeically the importance granted to the leaders. This issue has been largely neglected in the vast literature on voting behaviour.The dominant traditions in the study of voting behaviour focus on politicalparties and party identification; and on political issues and ideology, respectively. This volume uses election surveys over the past 50 years to systematically assesses the impact of political leaders on voting decisions in nine democracies (Australia, Britain, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, and the United States). It analyses issues such as the changes inpolitical communication (particularly the rise of televized politics), and the relative importance accorded to political leaders in different types of political systems. It demonstrates how electoral systems and other political institutions have a discernible effect on the importance voters accordto actual political leaders. Contrary to popular wisdom, Political Leaders and Democratic Elections shows how unimportant the characteristics of political leaders, parties, and indeed the voters themselves actually are on voting patterns. The volume shows that voters tend to let themselves beguided by the leaders they like rather than being pushed away from those they dislike.Comparative Politics is a series for students and teachers of political science that deals with contemporary issues in comparative government and politics. The General Editors are Max Kaase, Professor of Political Science, Vice President and Dean, School of Humanities and Social Sciences,International University Bremen; and Kenneth Newton, Professor of Comparative Politics, University of Southampton. The series is published in association with the European Consortium for Political Research.

Our favorite vampire is 27! To mark the occasion, we've put together 27 photos and 27 facts about Robert Pattinson!
Robert Pattinson told Scholastic magazine that he learned how to scuba dive for his role in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
Robert Pattinson admitted in a 2008 interview with Extra that he was expelled from Tower House School, a private school in England, when he was 12, but he refused to explain why he was kicked out.
Robert Pattinson admitted to GQ in April 2009 that he's to blame for an early rumor that he had proposed to Kristen Stewart. He said, "I said that in some interview as a joke — 'Oh, I proposed to her multiple times.' And then it gets printed, 'On the set, he proposed multiple times.'"
According to TV Guide, 75,000 fans reportedly petitioned against Robert Pattinson when it was first announced that he was picked for the role of Edward Cullen.
Robert Pattinson revealed in a 2012 interview with MTV that he had recently gotten into shooting, saying that he likes to visit an LAPD shooting range to fire off rounds.
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are both good friends of Katy Perry and her assistant Tamra Natisin.
Robert Pattinson told Harper's Bazaar in 2009 that, despite earning millions for The Twilight Saga, he doesn't like to splash out on lavish purchases. He said, "I don't spend any money. The only thing I've really bought is my car, which cost $1,500 and keeps exploding."
Despite growing up with a father who was a car dealer, Robert Pattinson admitted to Harper's Bazaar in 2009 that he is actually not that used to driving. He said, "My dad's a car dealer, but I grew up in London, so I always say, 'I don't drive — I get driven.'"
Kristen Stewart told Harper's Bazaar in November 2008 that Robert Pattinson Googles himself more than she does. However, he countered that he actually is Googling his "competition," and that she's the one that searches for herself more online.
Robert Pattinson told Seventeen magazine that he had his first kiss at the tender age of 12.
Robert Pattinson's fans may like to call him R-Patz, but they better not say it to his face. He told The Guardian in June 2012 that he isn't fond of the moniker, saying, "I don't understand who invented that thing, 'R-Patz' — I want to strangle them."
Robert Pattinson said in an interview with MTV back in 2012 that he has peed in a jar while in a car. He added, "Many times as well."
Robert Pattinson has two dogs with Kristen Stewart: Bear and Bernie. Both are mutts that they rescued from dog pounds.
Robert Pattinson said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show back in April 2011 that he got suspended from school when he was "6 or 7" for saving snails and carrying them around in an carton. He said that he was saving them so his schoolmates would stop killing them when they went outside.
Robert Pattinson said in an interview with Moviefone in January 2009 that he thinks he has "wide hips" and is self-conscious about taking off his clothes in public. In fact, he said that, when he goes to the pool, he keeps all of his clothes on to avoid feeling embarrassed.
Robert Pattinson told MTV back in 2011 that his favorite TV shows are Minute to Win It and America's Dumbest Criminals.
Eddie Redmayne told us back in December that he's good friends with Robert Pattinson. He said, "Robert, I've known for a long time. There's a whole load of us [British actors] who were trying to make ends meet in London, and it's been lovely watching everyone have a moment to do interesting work."
Robert Pattinson told UK's Metro newspaper that Arsenal is one of his favorite soccer teams.
Before he became an actor, Robert Pattinson was a model. Check out photos of Robert Pattinson modeling underwear during his teen years.
Robert Pattinson told Yahoo! Movies UK & Ireland that he has bendy, double-jointed fingers. He also noted that he broke his nose three times while playing goalie in soccer because his fingers would bend back and the ball would hit him in the face.
Kristen Stewart told Harper's Bazaar in 2009 that she is far more athletic than Robert Pattinson. She said, "Rob can barely jump rope. I call him Flippy because when he does his stunt rehearsals, he flips around. And, God, when he tries to run."
Robert Pattinson told Vanity Fair in 2008 that he can speak French but only at a "3-year-old's standard."
Robert Pattinson grew up attending different private schools in England. He attended the Tower House School until he was 12 years old and then transferred to The Harrodian School.
Sorry, folks, Robert Pattinson never dated Nikki Reed before he linked up with Kristen Stewart. Nikki told Seventeen magazine in 2009 that rumors about her being "bitter" over a breakup with Rob make her angry. She said, "Rob and I were never together."
While he never made it onto screen in Vanity Fair, Robert Pattinson did manage to get some real screen time in his first real role in Curse of the Ring, a British TV movie.
While promoting Water For Elephants on Today, Robert Pattinson told Matt Lauer that he saw a clown die at a circus when he was a little kid. However, he later admitted at the German premiere of Water For Elephants that he made the whole story up because he couldn't think of anything interesting for the interview. He said, "I made the whole thing up. . . . I don't know why I said it!"
Robert Pattinson's first major acting gig was playing Reese Witherspoon's son in Vanity Fair, but his scene with her eventually got cut out of the movie. It was an odd casting choice to begin with considering that Reese is only 10 years older than Rob. Later, he went on to play her lover in Water For Elephants, but fans have saved Rob's deleted Vanity Fair scene on YouTube.

If actresses like Bipasha Basu and Shamita Shetty gave powerful performances as police officers respectively in "Dhoom 2" and "Zeher", female stars like Vidya Balan and Katrina Kaif have managed to wow the audience with their on-screen role of spies.
Here's a list of actresses who played women detectives in movies:
Vidya Balan: She has played strong roles in movies like "The Dirty Picture" and "Kahaani" in the past. But chose to be a detective for the first time in Dia Mirza's co-production "Bobby Jasoos". She donned various looks in her latest film and also played with her appearance while promoting the comedy.
Katrina Kaif: In the Salman Khan-starrer "Ek Tha Tiger", she is first shown as a dance teacher. As the story unfolds, it is revealed that she is actually a spy from Pakistan who falls in love with Indian spy, essayed by Salman.
Ameesha Patel: She didn't get to kick, but she played her part of a personal secretary to a private detective (Anil Kapoor) in "Race 2" well. The gold medallist in economics had said back in 2013 that it was tough for her to play the role as it was a comic role and that a "dumb character is always tough".
Ava Mukherji: The actress with salt and pepper hair chose to step into shoes of a detective in 2009 for the film titled "Detective Naani". In the film, Ava acts as an independent and fun old woman who tries to crack case of a missing girl.
Anushka Sharma: The actress, who will turn a producer with her upcoming film "NH10", will also try her hand at spying on the big screen for the first time. She was mostly seen playing livewire characters in films like "Jab Tak Hai Jaan" and "Band Baaja Baaraat".

By Andy Choi
Local meteorological conditions can influence the intensity of precipitation, especially in mountainous regions, where the uneven terrain affects wind patterns and the distribution of humidity and temperature. In such cases, remote sensing helps predict natural hazards such as avalanches.
In rain intensity measurement, a brief radio wave pulse is transmitted by a radar into rain, snow, planes or birds or other obstacles. The radar receiver picks a section of the signal that bounces back and determines the amplitude, time lag, frequency of the returning signal in order to determine the size, distance and speed of the obstacle. Although the use of radar waves to measure the intensity of rain is reliable, it is difficult to use the same principle on solid forms of precipitation.
Professor Berne and his team from the LTE lab have used an advanced dual-polarization X-band Doppler radar to gather radar images from Jakobshorn. Ground based snow data was provided by researchers at the Snow and Avalanche Research which corresponded with the information gathered by the LTE researchers over 2 years.
The X-band Doppler radar transmits two linear orthogonal polarizations of radio waves simultaneously while traditional weather radars transmit a single polarization. The researchers then study the returning signal to determine the shape of the obstacle encountered by the radio waves. The data collected over the last two years is being studied to determine snow type and snow intensity and can form the basis for further research.

In yesterday's 10-Q, Yahoo! revealed that, from October 1 through November 8, they repurchased 13 million shares of its stock at an average price of $16.87 for a total of $212 million.
That's a good amount, but I was thinking it would be possible for Yahoo! to repurchase all the $3 billion of stock in the 4th quarter. They will have to really step on the gas to accomplish that so soon. It likely won't happen.
But there's a positive spin here. Most of the buying that's gone on in the stock has been coming from real institutional investors buying in to the stock in a big way. There are high hopes for Marissa.
If the stock's reacted this well so far, imagine how it will respond when Yahoo really starts buying back its stock in larger numbers to reduce the share count?
Eric Jackson-
Real buying starts in December.
Yahoo will spend a billion on their buyback in December.
When does the real buying start?
Morse sold 14 million $ worth as well - so is the share buyback REALLY helping or is it just allowing insiders to sell at a high price?
Sentiment: Strong Sell
The word is that Yahoo will give guidance next week and start a $3 billion buyback.
Wait Until They Really Start Buying! Yahoo to $20.
If Yahoo spends $3 billion buying back stock this year it's going higher than $20.
PS It's worth noting that Yahoo might have been precluded from buying their stock until after they reported their earnings on October 21st. It's possible they only started buying stock a couple of days after that on say October 25th. If true, they purchased 13 million shares of Yahoo on 10 trading days or 1.3 million shares a day. Over that time period, Yahoo's been averaging about 20 million shares traded every day, so you're talking 6.5% of the daily volume. Since then, Yahoo!'s price has ranged between $16.57 and $17.50. The average cost of the 13 million shares Yahoo bought was $16.87. If they kept buying at the same pace of 1.3 million shares a trading day, it would take them 23 weeks to buy back $2.8 billion in stock.
Eric Jackson is right. Yahoo will take off once the real buyback begins.
I expect Yahoo to buyback most of the $3 billion they have planned for a buyback in the next two months.

ASU Camp Tontozona Day 4: Too many sacks, big plays, versatile receivers
A quick report from Friday's Arizona State practice:
Spur update: Pretty much, there's movement here daily. Senior Anthony Jones continues to run with the first team. Thursday, ASU ran sophomore Antonio Longino with the second team. Coaches didn't like what they saw, so Friday they moved Longino back to second-team weak-side backer. Senior Grandville Taylor got second-team reps at spur. Taylor is kind of an unsung hero for this team. No matter where he lines up — defense or special teams — he always is solid. That said, I have no idea if he'll stay here.
*Junior left guard Sil Ajawara broke his toe. He's still dressed, but his reps have decreased. Sophomore Devin Goodman took his second-team reps Friday.
*Senior tight end Chris Coyle told me he strained his groin climbing Mount Kush. Coyle has been limited the past couple days. Friday he just participated in some run-blocking drills. It's not serious.
*Coach Todd Graham mentioned something today that no one really has discussed. ASU last season ranked 102nd nationally in sacks allowed, giving up 2.92 per game. "I see the ball getting held way too much in the pocket, way too many sacks," Graham said. "We cannot have negative-yardage plays and we got to take care of the ball. If we do that, we're going to score. There's no doubt about that."
*That said, Graham reminded everyone what a threat junior quarterback Taylor Kelly was last season rushing the football. "Taylor's a lot faster than he was a year ago, too," he said. I asked Kelly if he was faster and he said he's up five or six pounds and just feels stronger all the way around.
*Freshman Marcus Ball continues to rep at first-team field safety. Freshman James Johnson has moved to the second team. Not sure what's happened to redshirt-freshman Viliami Moeakiola. Earlier this week, he ran with the first team, but the past two days he hasn't been involved much at all.
*Ball's future probably is at spur, but with junior safety Damarious Randall still out with a groin injury — ASU's being very cautious with him — I can't see him playing there anytime soon.
*Another perspective on how ASU has upgraded its receivers: Senior safety Alden Darby said that in 1-on-1 drills, the defensive backs can choose what kind of receiver they want to defend. "You want to go against a big receiver? You want to go against a speed guy? You want to go against a physical guy? We have it all at wide out," he said. That wasn't the case last season.
*I asked offensive coordinator Mike Norvell for the one thing that's stood out the most about sophomore receiver Jaelen Strong: "Just his explosiveness," he said. "We knew that he was big and could run and that he had tremendous ball skills. When the ball is in the air he goes and attacks it. We're going to continue to work with him on his consistency, but I think he's going to be a heck of a player for us."
*Offensive line coach Chris Thomsen on junior right tackle Tyler Sulka, who has found a starting job at right tackle: "He's got really good feet. He's a smart guy and he has some size and some natural explosiveness. It was just a matter of him making up his mind that that's what he wanted to do."
*Lots of big plays today. I wrote about them for Saturday's Republic, a story that should be up on azcentral soon. A guy I did not mention: Junior Deantre Lewis. Saw shades of the old Deantre on Friday.
*Talked with an ASU staff member who praised the teaching skills and football knowledge of running backs coach Bo Graham.
*Junior Marcus Hardison continues to practice inside on the defensive line. He even got some first-team reps there today. "I think he's more comfortable inside," defensive-line coach Jackie Shipp said. "Moves better inside. He still has some technique things he needs to improve on, but he seems to be more aggressive and active on the inside."
*Shipp also praised first-team end Gannon Conway, telling me that the senior has improved even since spring ball.

text: I watched the preview of Samsung Galaxy S3 on TV and was excited about it. I had thought of buying it but later found that it is priced at Rs. 38,480. I was surprised that Samsung has put such a high price on their phone. There are so many smartphones available in market but not many of them are priced so high. I think that the competition between Apples iPhone and Samsung is becoming too expensive for the consumer. What do other people think that is Rs. 38,480 worth for Samsung Galaxy S3?

Insurance carriers and brokers are seeing increased demand in policies specifically tailored to cover an employer in the event of a data breach, a risk that is increasingly common as more business moves online for small and large employers alike.
While online business dealings -- from retailers to electronic health records -- have been prevalent for more than a decade, high-profile data breaches at major companies like Sony, Google and, on a local level, St. Joseph Health, have caused employers to take a closer look at an insurance product that might not have seemed necessary in the past, insurance experts said.
"We've gotten a lot of calls from prospective clients about cyber security and liability policies," said Greg Culley, who runs Culley Insurance Services in Santa Rosa. "And they're asking us, 'Is this something we're insured for?' And they're not, so there's specialized products that a handful of companies are offering, and it's starting to get a foothold."
As numerous examples have shown, a company that either is maliciously hacked or accidentally discloses personal information on the web can, and likely will, face steep class-action lawsuits or will be made to notify and correct the issue, all of which can add up quickly, said Pamela Chanter, vice president of Vantreo Insurance Brokerage in Santa Rosa.
[caption id="attachment_57294" align="alignright" width="144"] Pam Chanter[/caption]
"Cyber risk has never been greater than today due to the technology-dependent world where we do our business online and where we store sensitive customer data electronically," Ms. Chanter said. "We see in the news on a regular basis that businesses have breaches that involve millions of dollars from cyber attacks. It's clearly a risk that impacts the bottom line of a company."
Smaller companies in particular are expressing increased interest, as the ramifications of data breach become visibly damaging to even the largest, most organized companies, said Joe Smith, a professional liability broker with Crouse and Associates, a San Francisco insurer that writes a good deal of Vantreo's specialty coverage.
"There is definitely a trend of corporations and smaller business buying it," he said.
And it's not strictly limited to electronic breaches, but rather it could be any situation where personal data is mined or lost from a company's confines, Mr. Smith said.


text: Riding along, sun going down, about 15 minutes from home when I hear this weird noise that I have never heard before. Sounded like something was in the spokes slapping the frame every time around. Then I realized what happened. I was about 1/4 mile from the nearest gas station. I had to get there because it was going to be dark soon. So I walked it over. I am glad I have the SPD shoes that you can still walk in. Took me about 45 minutes to figure out what I was doing. Broke both plastic tools that came with the repair kit. Just as I was filling up, a cop in an unmarked car pulled up and watched me. Didn't say a word, just watched. Like someone said before, I must have looked like I knew what I was doing with the tools scattered all about. Because nobody stopped to see if I needed help. I had two pin holes to patch. I am glad I double checked the tire after I put the patch on the first hole. I made it home and am taking the tire into the shop today to get the tube replaced. I am too afraid of getting the tube pinched or something. I really need to attend a seminar to learn how to do it right.

Jurassic Park™ Builder
By Ludia
Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
***Colossal update: NEW CARD PACKS!!***
*** Welcome to YOUR Jurassic Park!***
Based on the ground breaking film franchise "Jurassic Park," experience your own thrilling interactive journey on the mysterious Isla Nublar!
Build your Jurassic Park from A to Z, on land and out at sea! You are the first owner of the park: grow various dinosaur species once you've extracted their DNA from amber fragments. Then, transform this DNA with your friends' help. Put your dinosaurs in your land, aquatic or glacial park then help them develop to full adult size. Depending on the diet for each species, dinosaurs will need plants, meat, fish or seafood to grow. Make sure you always have enough food by monitoring the supply arrivals at the harbor. Finally, develop tourist activities by building roads so that visitors can come to your parks and explore your beautiful creations.
To entertain your guests and collect more funds, you will have to be creative and decorate your parks and build various attractions and buildings such as amusement centers, hotels, restaurants, and security offices. 'Code Red' mode allows you to maximize your gains further and also prevent the dinosaurs from escaping and wreaking havoc on the island. But to access that mode, you'll have to grow at least 5 carnivores!
In order to build your own aquatic park and discover new species, you will have to reach level 10!
In order to build your own glacier park and discover new species, you will have to reach level 20!
Along the way, you'll encounter familiar characters from the Jurassic Park movies such as, Dr. Ian Malcolm, or John Hammond, who will help you advance in your journey by giving you missions to fulfill.

Fun, But One Annoying Thing
This is overall a really good game, fun, addicting, and I really love it. Would have been 5 stars if not for this one really bad thing. This game must hate me, because the past 4 -5 times I've ever tried to do a tournament, that annoying message pops up right in the middle of it saying "disconnection" and then I'm out of the tournament... Which wouldn't be too bad IF I at least got back the bucks I spent and my dinosaurs used in the tournament weren't resting up. It's fine if it's just a once in a while thing, but this is getting too frequent, I can't seem to enter a tournament without it happening! I must have lost about 300 Dino bucks just because of this one problem. It's horrible and really annoying, because all I'm doing is losing bucks and dinosaurs that could easily have not been lost. I always do tournaments in the same place (my room) and it's ALWAYS worked fine, besides just a few infrequent disconnections, but now it won't stop happening. Other than that the game is awesome and I love all my dinosaurs, especially Nosy (Nasutoceratops!) ^_^
Fun and addicting but one problem
This game is so fun and addicting! I never stopped playing it ever since I downloaded it! The dinosaurs and everything is awesome! I've loved Jurassic Park and dinosaurs since I was little and Jurassic Park has been my favorite movie since then! Everything is awesome and I like the update you did but there's one thing I don't like about the update! Before the update came I was able to watch videos to speed up the process of hatching dinosaurs and making buildings faster when the countdown gets 30 minutes but the new update won't let me do that anymore cause after I watch the video to speed up the process it takes me back to my home screen and it will only let me watch videos to get more bucks for free and that's it! I'm not happy about that! Please make another update to fix the problem! But I'll still give you 5 stars for making the game fun and addicting!
Make battling faster
This is more feedback than review, but you don't give us that option, so, shut up and listen. The battle area is cool, but when you are replaying a level to get some coins it is incredibly boring. It really stinks too because I could make a good 100,000 coins by using all my Dino's in battle. Make a speed up button for battles and/or a "win battle button" where, if you already have a gold medal on that battle and your ferocity of your dinosaurs is higher, you get the awards right away.
P.S. Those of you saying "T-Rex is too much!!!" Shut up. I got the pteradon, brontosaurus, stegosaurus, and T-Rex without spending a dime. It's very easy to get them. You just don't waste your bucks on boosting and decorations (which you shouldn't do anyway cause that's stupid). This game gives you bucks very fairly, and with these new cards, their giving you more free stuff for no reason.

Reflecting on Modern Warfare 2's Airport Massacre
I've killed civilians in games before. I've killed thousands of them.
I've run over pedestrians in Grand Theft Auto, I've blown up shoppers in State of Emergency, I've hunted farmers in Age of Empires. But none of that compares to what I experienced physically and emotionally in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
I'll set the scene for you. You're an Army Rangers officer who has gone undercover with an extremist cell lead by a man named Makarov, famous for arms dealing, human trafficking and terrorism all across the globe.
The mission opens and is black for about twenty seconds. You hear gear shuffling, guns clicking, people muttering in Russian. The lights turn on and you see that you're in an elevator with a half dozen other men, all wearing bullet proof vests and armed to the teeth. Next to you is Makarov, who tells you "No Russian" as the doors open.
You walk out into the security gate at an airport, with lines full of people swarming to get through to their flights. I cocked my head while playing, as did all the civilians who turned to stare at us, and before I knew what was happening, Makarov and his men opened fire.
My jaw hit the floor as I watched them mow down about thirty people in under five seconds. But then the level actually begins, and it's one of the most disturbing things I've ever taken part in.
The game forces you to walk at a snail's pace through the airport, so you get the full effect of what's happening. All around you, fleeing civilians are being mowed down by Makarov's team, and you witness some crawling away trying to hide, and some sitting up against walls, nursing their wounds.
Now, you have the option to shoot the civilians if you want, but my entire first playthrough, I couldn't even bring myself to, I was too much in shock. The only time I actually started firing was when the SWAT teams started showing up, and it started feeling like an actual video game again, rather than a snuff film.
The entire time the scene was unfolding, I was just thinking in my head "This is the Mumbai Massacre, I am playing the Mumbai Massacre." I've since played the scene a few times, just to see the reaction from my friends, which was always the same as mine. And once you start shooting helpless civs yourself, the experience gets even more profound.
Here's a video of the whole ordeal in case my words aren't painting a good enough picture. This player opted to participate in the slaughter.
The scene isn't in the game to teach any sort of lesson, and served to get the game banned in Russia. It doesn't really make logical sense to begin with (when you embed an agent with a terrorist cell, shouldn't you report in and tip off your handlers BEFORE you actually commit mass murder?) and the aftermath is even less cohesive (Russia blames the US for the attack so they invade us like it's Red Dawn). So why then put it in the game?
Because they could.
There are games that go for shock value alone, but they have the unfortunate side effect of being generally shitty. Call of Duty on the other hand, knew that they had created one of the most cinematic game play experiences of all time, so when THEY put in a shocking scene, it's really going to hit home.
And even after 18 years of video game playing, this was like nothing I'd ever experienced in a game. It's the first time in history I can remember feeling BAD about killing people in a game. Titles like Grand Theft Auto and State of Emergency have you kill civilians like they're gnats, as the world you're living in doesn't feel real in any sense. Call of Duty on the other hand, put the gun in your hand, makes you look through your eyes and makes the injured victims crawl right in front of your barrel. It's tragic, and horrifying, and hypnotizing all at the same time.
It's so realistic that to me, it's more of a deterrent to real-world violence than anything I've played before. I've always made the argument that playing violent games does not make you violent (except when you lose), and I stand by that. However, this is the first time I've played a game that actually has the opposite effect. Using violence to shock the player into thinking twice about what they're actually doing. Forcing them to witness something so close to reality, an emotional reaction can't be avoided.
So was the level necessary? No. But was it important? I think so.

Nearly 7,000 drivers still on the road with 12 or more penalty points
DVLA data has shown than there are nearly 7,000 drivers on British roads with 12 or more penalty points on their licences.
How it works
With so many models and makes to choose from, it can get a bit complicated. Our easy to use site helps you find the right car as the right price, right now.Start
There are nearly 7,000 drivers still on British roads who have 12 or more penalty points on their driving licences, according to government data.
A Freedom of Information request submitted to the DVLA by Co-Operative Insurance revealed that 6,523 motorists are currently still driving despite having more than 12 points to their names.
Nottingham appears to be the worst area with 180 drivers there alone, while Doncaster and Cardiff come in at second and third places, with 174 and 173 drivers respectively.
Interestingly, although younger drivers are typically seen as being the most dangerous on the roads, the figures show that more drivers aged between 26 and 35 have 12 points or more than any other age group.
A total of 1,880 motorists in this age bracket have been identified by the data as currently driving with more than 12 points, compared to a relatively small 680 drivers aged 17 to 25.
Steve Kerrigan, head of telematics at The Co-Operative Insurance said: "As new generations of young drivers come through it is extremely important for safe driving education to continue and, in future, we will hopefully have safer roads as a result.
"We want to see the number of people on the roads with an excess number of penalty points reduce from the 6,500 figure and believe that telematics will be a key enabler to this."
According to the government, the courts can disqualify a driver for receiving more than 12 penalty points within a period of three years, though the DVLA insists that it's not a set rule.
The government agency revealed that a man in Liverpool has 45 penalty points on his licence, while a woman in Blackburn has 38, and both drivers are still on the roads.
A spokesman for the DVLA said: "In a small percentage of cases where the driver has accumulated 12 or more penalty points, the DVLA understands that a court can exercise its discretion and not disqualify the driver.
"In the majority of these cases, courts may have decided to allow drivers to retain their entitlement to drive where it is considered that disqualification would cause exceptional hardship."
