Oct. 25, 1997
Red Raiders Upset Texas A&M, 16-13
LUBBOCK, Texas - Tony Rogers' third field goal of the game, a 47-yarder with 19 seconds remaining, lifted Texas Tech to a 16-13 Big 12 Conference victory over 21st-ranked Texas A&M.
After Texas A&M's Brandon Stewart tied the score at 13-13 with a 24-yard touchdown pass to Leroy Hodge with 5:51 to play, the Red Raiders (4-3, 3-1 Big 12 South) embarked on a 14-play, 51-yard drive that culminated with Rogers' field goal.
Rogers, a senior, had lost his starting job to Jaret Greaser in the middle of last season but was back in the lineup after Greaser suffered a broken right leg in the first quarter of last week's 29-0 loss to Nebraska.
Texas Tech has won three straight meetings with the Aggies for the first time since 1982-84 and snapped a six-game losing streak to ranked foes since defeating then-number eight Texas A&M in 1995. The Raiders are now tied for the South Division lead with Oklahoma State, which lost in double overtime to Missouri today.
Texas A&M (5-2, 2-2) has dropped consecutive games after beginning the year with five wins in a row. The Aggies still lead the all-time series, 31-24-1.

Great hoop

About Me Parent
Comments about Little Tikes TotSports Basketball Set:
This product is great for interacting with your little one. We use to educate, excercise, and motivate out toddler. The only complaint I have is the hoop ring where the hoop hangs is poorly made. The hoop is always coming off and it's annoying having to reattach after every use. It's not like we play roughly either. Other than that, we love it.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

About Me Avid Gamer, Parent
It's a basketball hoop for toddlers. Our child has thrown down some vicious dunks, but more importantly, I get to shoot hoops when he's playing with other toys. I've been able to work on my left and right finger rolls, hook shots, and up-and-unders. I've gone easy on him because he's 18 months, but that window is wearing quickly. I'm putting on a block clinic soon so he better be a quick study of the shot fake. Time to make Bob Knight proud.

Hoop won't stay attached
By SandyLou
from Mary Land
Easy to assemble. But the hoop will NOT stay attached to the backboard. Going back to the store. So disappointed in Little Tikes quality these days. Use to purchase everything Little Tikes for my young girls. Thought it would be a a cinch to keep up with the products for the grandkids...what junk and so very dissapointed...
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Fun for everyone
By Hans Mama
from Salem, OR
We love this basketball hoop! I have a two and one year old and they both love it! My husband and I also love playing with it and wish we would have bought it sooner. I think it's a must for anyone who has kids. My only complaint is that it can be difficult to adjust the height and I'm nervous that over time the plastic adjuster will just break off. But so far, it's held up just fine.
I would buy this product again and again

I bought this for my grandson. We love playing together with it. Extremely well built.

Sara Collins is a normal twelve-year-old girl with an abnormal secret: She is psychic. She's had her abilities for as long as she can remember, but she doesn't like to talk about them. Sara wants nothing more than to have a normal life, and to her, "normal" doesn't include anything paranormal.
But Sara's life is about to be turned upside down, because she's moving across the country with her dad to an old shore town in New Jersey. A shore town with a lot of history…and more than its fair share of ghosts roaming around.
About the Author:
Phoebe Rivers had a brush with the paranormal when she was thirteen years old, and ever since then, she has been fascinated by people who see spirits and can communicate with them. In addition to her intrigue with all things paranormal, Phoebe also loves cats, French cuisine, and wiling her afternoons away in coffee shops writing stories. Phoebe has written dozens of middle-grade fiction books and is thrilled to now be exploring Sara's paranormal world.

Some of Jeff's most recent remix productions include San Francisco natives: Gypsy Love, Kippy Marks, Drumspyder, Vahid & Parsa, and violinist/vocal duo, Fat Magic, to name a few. When speaking of Jeff's most influencial production, it would definitely have to be "Disco Shit", which was featured on the mix CD, and in an article of, the winter 2009 edition of New Zealand's world reknowned electronic & dance music magazine, Remix Magazine. "Disco Shit" was hand-selected along with tracks from other artists such as: Late Night Alumni, Crystal Method, Norman Doray & Albin Myers, and Tom Neville. Jeff Morena has been a DJ since 1991, mixing the earlier genres of house music, as well as 80's & 90's classic pop/nu wave/electro/freestyle, disco, old school, and hip hop & R&B. Jeff spent his initial 10 years holding down residencies at every smash venue in central California, but since devoting his last 10 years strictly to his primary passion of house music, Jeff frequents numerous venues in The Bay Area, primarily in the cities he loves most, San Francisco & San Jose.
Because of Jeff Morena's vast background of music, he has been able to throw down everything house music on the decks from funky disco/vocal, to bangin' electro, to melodic progressive, to dark techno, to 80's/90's/rock remixes, and even Top 40 dance remixes. Jeff loves to take the dance floor on a journey through his years of living in a world of house music, by mixing various selections of some of his most memorable tracks of the past, with some of the exclusive releases of today, along with some of the rarest tracks/remixes from his own secret cache, all blended together along with his own productions and remixes.
While in the studio conjuring up more creative tracks & remixes, Jeff Morena always has the passion of house music coursing through his veins.

Mission Statement:
My goal is to provide people with a good product, steer them in the right direction
on product choice, and give a fair measure with the best service possible.
The Mulch Guy has been in the wood products business for many years, being
a partner in a large sawmill business. One of the by products of a sawmill is
bark off the logs before they can be sawn.
In 1978 I came in contact with a man who had an idea to market the bark for
mulch use. We had a couple of people pull out the larger pieces and sold the
rest for mulch. As time went on we acquired a grinder to make the pieces more
uniform and easier to work with.
To read more follow this link -->
QUESTION - I've seen your delivery truck around town but never
have been able to catch up with you. How can I get the mulch guy
to bring me some mulch?
ANSWER - You can reach the Mulch Guy (Larry Summerton) at 278-3644. Or go to
our contact page for directions and hours.
QUESTION - Hey Mulch Guy. Ive heard that spreading fresh mulch
in your yard will attract middle aged lady's? Is that true?
Signed Confused landscaper
ANSWER - Dear confused. Much has been said about the benefits of
Bark Mulch and none of which has anything to do with attracting
a mate. You might try some different clothes and hitting the gym.
Good luck
The Mulch Guy.

One of the greatest joys of my life has been pouring into the lives of young leaders. Seeing the hunger and drive of their youth is invigorating.
And yet we see young leaders fall to the wayside far too often. Hurt, discouraged, ready to give up.
This is why we must find ways to stay encouraged. A discouraged leader does his team no good.
Today I want to offer you 15 encouragements as you take the leadership journey. Some will apply to situations you're currently facing. Others will apply to the situations that will be coming. Tuck these pieces of encouragement away and pull them out when you need them.
15 encouragements for young leaders
You'll never fully arrive: What? This is an encouragement? Yes, if I do say so. Remember, the end will always be elusive. There will be times of frustration because you can't see the end. That's because it's not there. Don't stress arriving, enjoy the journey.

- Definitely a good buy
21st July 2012
We were looking for a light weight tent which we could stand up in. This tent is perfect. We are going to be taking it touring in Europe at the end of the summer on a motorbike. We did a trial trip to West Wales and within 15 minutes the tent was up and we were in the pub. During the night there was a massive storm but the tent stood solid with no leaks. All our camping friends were amazed that we had turned up on a motorbike and had such a large tent. We did manage to forget the inner tent but this didn't matter one bit. I was concerned about condensation but the venting is excellent and we had no problems.@Digby the big orange cat The Jamet Geodia Dome Tent is a fantastic tent, easy to erect and sturdy

Jessica Lange is headed to a carnival for season 4 of "American Horror Story."
According to a March 17 report by Variety, writer Douglas Petrie revealed the setting of the next season during a Nerdist writer's panel podcast. "It doesn't have a title, but that's the idea," he said. "Very roughly, that's the idea." It's also been revealed that season 4 will be set during 1950 and that Jessica Lange will be playing a Marlene Dietrich-like character.
The carnival setting should excite "American Horror Story" fans who want to see the series take on the freak shows that were once so popular. Freak shows usually featured people suffering from disfiguring medical conditions, such as the famous Elephant Man. Other "attractions" included hermaphrodites, conjoined twins, and bearded ladies. There were also tattooed ladies, as well as performers like fire-breathers and sword-swallowers. Some sideshows featured burlesque shows, or "hootchie-kootchie" shows. This may be where Jessica Lange's character comes in.
Perhaps Lange will be playing a once-famous actress who ends up performing at the carnival when she can no longer find work in movies. Marlene Dietrich did start performing in cabaret shows in the 1950s, but she starred in big venues and was well-paid. Perhaps Jessica Lange's character can't find that kind of success for some reason. The finale of "American Horror Story: Coven" seemed to reference the 1950 movie "All About Eve" when an enthusiastic young woman asked Delia about what a Supreme is, so maybe Lange's character will get "All About Eved" by a young actress before she ends up at the carnival.
There are other real sideshow exhibits that "American Horror Story" can feature that viewers might not be aware of. "Pickled punks" were dead baby fetuses in jars, and "geek shows" featured drug addicts and alcoholics biting the heads off of live chickens. Shows also featured macabre exhibits like the "Bonnie and Clyde Death Car." However, many exhibits billed with sensational names like this weren't the real deal. A real "Death Car" sounds like something that could be haunted by the ghosts of those who died in it. Since season 4 is going to film in New Mexico and is set shortly after the Roswell incident, perhaps one of the exhibits will be a living alien.
Ryan Murphy always hides clues about what the next season is going to be about in the finale of the previous season. Perhaps Myrtle's playing of an instrument called the theremin will play into the plot. The creator of the instrument, Russian inventor Léon Theremin, definitely has an interesting life story. He was a brilliant man, and his creepy-sounding instrument was a big hit in the United States during the late '20s and '30s. Members of the celebrity's elite social circle were shocked when he married a black ballerina (obviously this was a time when many looked down on interracial relationships). Theremin ended up working in a secret laboratory in a Gulag camp after returning to the Soviet Union, and he created a listening device that was concealed in a wooden replica of the Great Seal of the United States. It was gifted to the U.S. Ambassador and hung in his Moscow office, where it was used to monitor confidential conversations during the Cold War. It was discovered in 1952.
Perhaps the mention of the theremin was hinting that season 4 has something to do with the Cold War. Myrtle also pointed out that the eerie instrument was used for the soundtrack of many 1950s horror movies, so maybe Ryan Murphy will borrowing a plot from a film that the instrument was featured in.
Léon Theremin and his ballerina bride would definitely be interesting characters to include in season 4. TV Guide also thinks that people affected by the nuclear testing done in New Mexico might make an appearance on the show (think "The Hills Have Eyes").
What and who would you like to see at the carnival during season 4 of "American Horror Story?"

I wonder whether Ubuntu itself provides a system-wide way to find the current JAVA_HOME or whether there is right place for setting JAVA_HOME.
Mac OS X does well in this, for
/usr/libexec/java_home command returns the current JAVA_HOME. But to Ubuntu, the materials I found always told me to set the $JAVA_PATH pointing to a static path like
```, which is stored in~/.bash_profile```.
I think, however, this approach has several drawbacks:
- Once Java updates, the mini version number will change, which makes the static path no longer available.
- After changing the JRE used in my system with
update-alternatives, I have to modify $JAVA_HOME in .bash_profile. That extra work is annoying.
- Some $JAVA_HOME-required programs, is not aware of
.bash_profileat all. I have to set $JAVA_HOME in their start-up script, therefore a standard-and-easy way to get $JAVA_HOME seems critical to me.
Well, any advice is welcomed. Thanks.

The Radiroot package for GAP by Andreas Distler solves by radicals polynomials with solvable Galois group. The package uses the algorithm described in Distler's paper "Ein Algorithmus zum Lösen einer Polynomgleichung durch Radikal". As you would guess from the title, the paper is in German, which I cannot read. Is there an English (or Russian) translation of this paper?

Super Mini USB 2.0 802.11n/g/b 150Mbps Wifi/WLAN Wireless Network Adapter
If you are looking for a USB Wireless Adapter, I'm recommend this EDUP EP-MS150ND 802.11n 150Mbps USB Mini Wireless Adapter
It's not big, wireless woks fine and is a very usefull product !
you little cousing can use an old notebook over all the house, that's kinda big!
Works out of the box on many OS (Win 2000, XP, Vista, Ubuntu 10.10) – Windows 7 had to do a bit of soul searching to agree with the drivers 😉
– Excellent antenna. I meant to buy this item for my old macbook with a damaged wireless card. This catches signal even better than the original stock wireless card on macbooks.
– Mac driver is easy to install.
– Small
– Solid
– Superb performance even with 24/7 useage.
– Impressive that this little puppy handles all the major wi-fi bands and not just b/g.
– Easy to install, Windows 7 64bits installed it automatically.
– Runs hot, at the point to shut off after 30min of usage in a 30°C ambient, which I have in my house.
– Shut off with a load of 15mbps or more, probably because of the over heat.
– Small range. I couldn pass 1 wall, the AP must be in the same room.
– The driver cd is a mini-cd so you cannot directly put it on a Mac (because mac's have slide-in optical drives) but you can get over it by transferring the driver to a flashdisk on a pc with a normal optical drive
Other Thoughts:
You really cannot beat this for the price and sturdiness of product. I have had this thing since June of 2011 and it has run 24/7 in the front port of a PC in my house ever since. The on-board nic had died so I thought what the heck?

Hey. Since I bought my mare in October last year, she has slowly gradually become worse with her back and shoulder areas. From what started as just a dislikeness to being saddled and girthed up, has now evolved to being very aggressive when grooming her with a soft brush from her withers up to the middle of her back and down both her shoulders. She never used to buck when she was put into canter but now she does the majority of the time. She evades the bit (used to anyway) cant walk in a straight line, bend around a 20m circle or successfully do any form of balance and suppleness task without sticking her butt out or drifting off. Basically she cant stay in a straight line and let her back end follow the shape of her front when being ridden. The vet said she was fine (only very basic check), and the Phsyio/tack lady is coming in 3 days to check her out and check her tack fits. Has anyone ever experienced the same as me with their horse and did it work out for them when a professional came to find the problem? I am really worried and have never had this problem before. I dont like the idea she may be in pain and cant find any other way of telling me other than being aggressive and very moody.

Good for you(& her) for recognising that! While there could be other reasons for her behaviour, I find that these type issues are indeed so often physical. So I'd stay off her back until you resolve the issue & the injuries. Regardless of good fit of the saddle, I wouldn't attempt to put one on her until she's well healed.
I've also paid good money to have a professional saddle fitter out & turn a(9yo, well trained, very laid back) horse into a bronc, all the while assuring me that it was nothing to do with saddle fit, only that the horse was young & green("trust me - I train young horses & you expect that"!!). So unfortunately just because they're a professional doesn't guarrantee they're any good. www.balanceinternational.com have some great info on their site about saddle fit & behavioural issues, to helping you on the way to educating yourself about it.

College Hockey:Marinkovich Totals Six Points As Wentworth Crushes Framingham State
BOSTON — Sophomore forward Alex Marinkovich scored three goals and added three assists, and sophomore defenseman Chris Hartly scored two goals and three assists as Wentworth set a new school record for victories in a season by defeating Framingham State, 15-3.
The Leopards, who set a school record for goals in a game, used five goals in each period to secure the victory.
Other multiple-point scorers were sophomore forward Brad Carpenter, who tallied a goal and two assists, freshman forward Shawn Metheral, who totaled three assists, senior forward Tim Yakimowsky with a goal and an assist, senior defenseman McGregor Chadwick with two assists, sophomore forward Ben Pierce with two goals and an assist, and sophomore defenseman Michael Nicoletta, who had a goal and an assist.
Framingham State sophomore forward Roger LeBlanc scored two of the Rams' three goals. Framingham State used three goalies, with senior Steve Badera making 17 saves, junior Chris Pelley 11, and freshman Steve Thompson two. Freshman Bryce McFadden made 18 saves for the Leopards.
With the win, Wentworth improves to 19-5-0 (13-2-0 ECAC Northeast) and breaks the school-record win total of 18, which was set last season. Wentworth closes out the regular season Sunday night at Johnson & Wales. Framingham State falls to 3-20-1 (2-13-0).

Lessons Learned
April 2006 – More than one year on from the Tsunami, Sarvodaya continues its work in relief, rehabilitation, reconstruction, reconciliation and reawakening in the 226 Sarvodaya villages affected, all the time aware of the challenges facing our efforts. Throughout, the emphasis has been consistent with Sarvodaya's vision of helping people to help themselves.
We have all taken great encouragement from the prestigious award of the United Nations 2005 Habitat Scroll of Honour in recognition of our work over the last 46 years and specifically our achievements since the Tsunami struck. However, it is only by analysing and learning from the challenges that we can learn for the future, create new solutions and continue to improve the services we offer to the people of Sri Lanka and to do justice to the tremendous number of donors, large and small.
So many well-meaning organisations came to Sri Lanka armed with supplies, funds and people with the sole intention of providing relief and helping the stricken. Some partnered with local organisations (such as Sarvodaya) which meant that experienced local teams with established links with communities and an understanding of short and longer-term needs were able to act swiftly and effectively. Many worked on their own and either engaged in unsustainable projects or find themselves with money still sitting in the bank.
At the same time, a number of established organisations that specialise in one area of developmental work initiated projects outside of their sphere of experience, betraying the trust placed in them by donors and failing to deliver effective aid.
A mechanism is required to avoid wasting such valuable funds and resources in the future.
Many donor organisations placed enormous pressure for money to be spent immediately; speed was a priority. However, this often led to projects being implemented which were ill thought-through and did not take long-term sustainability into account and the money spent was often disproportionate to the relief provided to the beneficiaries. An education process is needed in order to help donors and implementing organisations develop plans which are sustainable, consider the bigger picture and consider long-term impact.
Many local organisations suffered an exodus of key staff as overseas NGOs came to the country needing local expertise – and offering substantial salaries to secure it. Sarvodaya lost only one member of staff due to this – thanks to the dedication and orientation of our workforce – but it created considerable difficulties for many other local organisations.
A major constraint was the difficulty of locating land for resettlement; this was greatly exacerbated by the government's ban on building within the buffer zone (originally 100m from the beach line and more recently relaxed to less) coupled with a lack of alternative arrangements. Sarvodaya managed to overcome the problem, partly thanks to the generosity of places of worship who came forward with private land for pre-school buildings, for example. We were also fortunate to have the land for some projects allocated by government.
We very much regret that Sri Lanka failed to use the catastrophe as an opportunity to bring about inter-ethnic reconciliation. All ethnic groups in Sri Lanka were impacted by the tragedy and it is a great sadness and disappointment to us that, amongst such terrible human suffering, peace building has deteriorated rather than improved.
The immediate outpouring of aid handed out with no coordination in affected areas has undoubtedly led to a culture of neediness and expectation rather than empowerment and self-help. In a study coordinated by Sarvodaya, four types of people in affected communities were identified:-
The Collector, who gathers as much as he or she can from donors
The Enjoyer, who tries to enjoy the benefits of the situation
The Depender, who believes he or she should rely on others to fix everything
The Returnee, who is trying to get back to normal life as soon as possible
In order to work around this, Sarvodaya concentrated on schemes which engaged the recipients so that they felt involved and responsible.
Related to this is the issue of selecting recipients; some projects had more applicants than resources and so recipients had to be selected. In addition, in the early months, many of the affected people were deeply traumatised and struggling to cope with the daily demands of simply surviving. Sarvodaya was careful to include psycho-social and healing programmes and to develop clear criteria to identify the most needy and deserving individuals, a process which will become institutionalised.
LACK OF LABOUR AND MATERIALSThe volume of reconstruction and development work led to a shortage of available labour and materials; in addition, there were problems releasing money from the headquarters to the districts. These issues were swiftly addressed by recruiting labour from outside of the area where necessary and by providing training amongst recipients so they could themselves get involved but delays were regrettable. An improved system of financial flow has been instigated.

Should we Americans be prepared to either witness or permit the undoing of those values that our nation's founders sacrificed their security and their lives for? Should we turn our backs because of the safety that timidity and political acquiescence to philosophical abandonment of religious values permits?
The answers to both is a resounding NO! But that is where the nation finds itself this morning and every other morning that Americans decide that it is better or more convenient to give in to political wills that take away our religious life principle.
Tax Day has allowed Americans to take stock in itself and fight against the trampling upon our right to protest that the current administration in Washington seems to feel conservatives and Tea Party Patriots owe the President a thank you for.
How can Americans, be it in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Tallahassee, Florida, or Houston, Texas or anywhere else in America accept Obama's principles and policies that have been baked in the oven of socialism and delivered to our kitchen tables in a neatly packaged bag of political platitudes? To do so would be certainly ill-advised at the very least.
Last week, Lansing, Michigan was one of many rally points for the Tea Party Patriots. Michigan's state capitol saw approximately 1,200 people protest taxes and the mis-direction of state and federal government policies. The Americans for Prosperity of Michigan – Taxpayer Tea Party stood in the midst of the political arena and not on the sidelines and proclaimed "No more, no more!!"
The Tea Party movement and Sarah Palin cannot be mocked any longer by the mainstream media elite as a loose affiliation of wild-eyed, pitch fork waving, uneducated individuals who want nothing more than to tear down Obamascare policies and not to possess a sophisticated thought in their head.
Recently, the CBS/New York Times survey certainly dispelled that well-cultivated mainstream media rumor when it revealed that Tea Party members are, on the whole, wealthier and better-educated than the general public.
The fear mongering was not residing in the realm of the Tea Party Patriots themselves but rather was comfortably situated in the daily commentaries of MSNBC pundit luminaries and the like. Thusly, for nearly a year, Tea Party Patriots, young and old alike who were standing up for a nation that was no longer being represented in Washington D.C., were being demonized by the Washington inside-the-Beltway detractors
So what are the nation's left-leaners to do?
The truth is such an awful thing for them to swallow. Yet their very own New York Times, their beacon of what is true and just and right in the news has spoken. These Tea Party Patriots have to be taken seriously because they are educated, principled, and moneyed, and purposed to stand in the midst of the political ring not on bended knee, but with a strong steel-like political back.
Oh the absolute horror and befuddlement that must have been felt last week when the CBS Morning Show had to editorially admit that there is something newsworthy about the Tea Party Patriots. The Tea Party Patriots did not need CBS or the New York Times to legitimize them or their movement. Millions of American people from all walks of life – and yes even minorities – have not been blinded or bamboozled by promises unkempt and less than transparent policies unfulfilled.
This new American Revolution Tea Party is important today because this band of patriots have now crossed the Delaware River of liberal media assaults and sent the British- and Hessian-like liberal spinmiester troops into a tailspin. They've won the day for this new emerging American populism.
See, what the British didn't get and those who were on the sidelines in America did not understand at the dawn of American democracy was that the moral fabric and fiber of the founding fathers and their reliance upon an all-knowing God was more important than political opportunism.
It is the faith of the Tea Party Patriots, much like the founding fathers, that enhances their courage and strengthens their principled resolve to challenge government leaders who have become foreign, distant, and unrepresentative.
The recent Tea Party Patriot 47-city tour and rallies was not a movement of racists, nor knuckle draggers or anarchists. They were Americans who believe strongly in the Constitution which certifies their God-given right to protest, to demand, to organize and yes to even throw a party (or 47 parties) across the nation to show that protecting the life of the nation cannot and must not be done from the sidelines but in the political arena.
As former president Theodore Roosevelt said, "Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat."

Casey Mann begins his second season as an assistant coach at Arizona, where he is primarily responsible for instruction of the Wildcat goalkeepers.
Mann came to the UA last year after spending 2000-01 as a West Des Moines Soccer Club head coach and as the goalkeeper coach and a head girls coach for the Iowa Soccer Association Olympic Development Program.
Prior to that, Mann was an assistant coach and the goalkeeper coach for the Arizona State women's soccer program for the 1999-2000 school year. During that season, the Sun Devils posted a 13-6-0 overall record and went 5-4 in Pac-10 play, finishing fifth. That was the most successful season to date in that program's young history.
Mann's other coaching experience includes being the women's assistant coach and the men's goalkeeper coach at Grand View College, in Des Moines, Iowa. He also tutored the goalkeeping staff for the Iowa United Soccer Club in Des Moines.
During his professional playing career as a goalkeeper for the Des Moines Menace, Mann propelled his team to two National Final Fours and two top-ten finishes in the USL Premier Development League.
As a collegiate goalkeeper at Grand View, Mann earned NAIA All-America, All-Midwest Region and All-Midwest Classic Conference honors. Mann received his bachelor's degree in elementary education from Grand View in 1997. His wife, Tawnya, also volunteers her time in assisting the Wildcat soccer coaching staff.

Former NASCAR star Jeremy Mayfield is blaming the sanctioning body along with the media for a failed drug test and the subsequent fallout. Mayfield was suspended by NASCAR in 2009 after he failed a random drug test. He denied any wrongdoing then blaming the results on a combination of medication for ADHD and an over the counter medication for seasonal allergies. He also failed subsequent test which allegedly indicated the presence of methamphetamine.
Mayfield continues to insist that he did nothing wrong and that he was nothing more than a scapegoat for NASCAR; the former driver also said he was denied his legal right to have an independent lab conduct a test on the same sample that was tested by NASCAR.
"All they had to do was say, 'Don't do that again. Don't take Adderall again," Mayfield told WCCB TV in Charlotte this week. "And if you do, we're gonna test you every week from now on. If you do (test positive), then you're suspended.'"
Mayfield's troubles only mounted after he was suspended by NASCAR. The former driver refused to take part in NASCAR's Road to Recovery program which would have eventually allow NASCAR to reinstate him. Instead he sued the sanctioning body and lost. Shortly after Mayfield was arrested and charged with possession of methamphetamine and stolen property. Mayfield and his wife Shana told WCCB that the drugs were planted and the alleged stolen property was purchased from someone who never said the goods were stolen. Adding to their woes the same year of those arrests a postal worker claimed she was attacked by five dogs owned by Mayfield. The animals were put down and the couple ordered to pay $1 million.
Earlier this year Mayfield took a plea deal in the drug possession and stolen goods cased and avoided jail time. He was ordered to pay $88,000 in restitution and serve 18 month's probation. Mayfield said he took the plea deal so his family could simply move on.
In the interview broadcast this week on WCCB, Mayfield said he asked a question of Dr. David Black, the owner of the lab used by NASCAR that gave two samples that were positive for banned substances.
"Isn't there an ingredient you put in the test itself that takes out the pseudoephedrine, which takes out the Claritin-D, right?" Mayfield says he asked the doctor.
According to Mayfield the doctor replied, "'Yes, yes there is an ingredient we put in.'" Mayfield says he then asked, "What's the name of it?" He claims Black replied, "'Um, I don't recall.'" Mayfield says he then replied, "Oh, you don't recall?" Mayfield goes on to say, "That day, before any court happened, we did have attorneys at that point, but that was the first meeting we had with him. He didn't remember what the name of the compound he put in there to take out (pseudoephedrine) and doesn't even know it. He admitted he doesn't test, he's been done with that for years, but he tested mine. So when you hear all that, it makes you wonder. It makes me wonder."
Shana Mayfield now works at local doctors office as Jeremy continues to try and restart his racing career. He is currently working on his own team in Mooresville North Carolina that he hopes to field a car to race on dirt.
"It is what it is," Mayfield said. "We got knocked down, beat down to the ground, we got back up and here we are."

In front of a crowd of 45,021 at TCF Bank Stadium, the men's hockey team for the Minnesota Golden Gophers did something that had already been done twice before during the season: Shutout an opponent.
Behind a second period goal by Taylor Cammarata (his fifth of the season) at 4:20 of the second period, the calling card on the night happened to be goaltending for Minnesota. Adam Wilcox, in his twentieth decision on the season, was simply solid. Stopping twenty-one Ohio State shots is tough enough, but only surviving by a goal is even tougher.
Another talking point were the penalties, or lack thereof. Five were called in the game in total and three resulted in power plays. Minnesota ended up 0-2 on the man advantage to Ohio State's 0-1, and every penalty called on Friday night was a minor penalty.
Ohio State goaltender Matt Tomkins made twenty-six saves on a night where Minnesota's best shooting period occurred in the middle. The Gophers put thirteen shots on net, or exactly half of the total game output. One went in when all was set and done and that's what mattered.
The same two teams convene at Mariucci Arena Saturday as part of Hockey Day Minnesota. The game is scheduled for 5pm.

A Proposal to Establish a Center for Community Service and Education at Northeastern University
As the President's Summit for America's Future has focused attention upon the potential of volunteerism to turn the tide for America's youth, many are looking to higher education to assume a larger role in supporting the needs of the community and reflecting those needs in the design of its educational programs. No universal set of guidelines exist that suggest in what way, and to what extent, colleges and universities should become more involved with their surrounding communities. Many factors, including locations and financial resources, determine how far down this road academic institutions are willing to travel.
Northeastern University, a pioneer and world leader in cooperative education is among those institutions with a history of aggressively pursuing community involvement. In fact, its practice-based, urban service mission distinguishes Northeastern from many other colleges and universities located in the Boston area, particularly from those which also put a high premium upon research. Faculty, staff, and students can be found in public schools, community-based organizations, social service delivery agencies, and neighborhood health centers all over the city of Boston. Through the creation of a Center for Community Service, Northeastern University can take this commitment to the next level and become a national model of education that will increase the capacity of practitioners, scholars, students, organizations, and institutions to address critical community needs.

NetBeans 6.0 RC2 released
By Roman Strobl on XI 21, 2007
You can get RC2 here. If you find any showstoppers, please let us know soon.
Btw, we did NetBeans day in Cairo today. Many developers have been asking for the slides and tutorials, so you can visit our NetBeans worldtour wiki with all the slides and demos. Thanks to all more than 500 attendees who came to NetBeans day in Cairo and for all the questions. I promise to come to Cairo again and deliver presentations at various universities and who knows, we may even organize an IDE shootout here in Cairo. Java developer community is quite vibrant in Egypt!
We also did NetBeans Day in Dubai earlier this week. I think it was a nice opportunity for local developers to meet - there are not many developer events in Dubai! I was amazed by the building activity in Dubai - the city seems to be one big construction site. Some of the places in Dubai were truly amazing... if you ever come to Dubai, visit Madinat Jumeirah at night - there's a promenade here which looks just awesome at night (and the prices of food are quite okay). You can't miss this place :)
Time to go back home. Wish me luck in surviving in health the constant temperature and timezone changes (this time from -3C to +32C and back to 0C in 5 days).

Kiev - Tuesday, soon after the Obama administration announced more soft sanctions against Russia amounting to a handful of names added to existing blacklists, militants occupied government headquarters in Luhansk, Ukraine.
The Pro-Russian separatists shot up regional headquarters occupied by municipal police in defiance of ineffective U.S. and European sanctions scoffed at by Moscow.
US Pres. Barack Obama has repeatedly threatened Russia with tough sanctions for its involvement in the seizure of Crimea, Ukraine and subsequent takeovers of government buildings by well armed pro-Russia militants.
After the violent occupation of provincial government headquarters in Luhansk, which borders Russia, Mr. Obama is under considerable pressure to come up with some sort of viable diplomatic strategy to avert a new Cold War between the East and West.
Meanwhile, Russian Pres. Vladimir Putin is using a military forces without uniforms to gain control of strategic Ukraine territories. Control of Luhansk would give Russia dominion over the entire Donbass coalfield — a coal-rich territory adjacent to Russia home to large steel smelters and heavy industrial manufacturing facilities responsible for generating more than 30 percent of Ukraine's industrial output.
Ukraine, a sovereign state of about 45 million people, was founded about 1000 years ago, but was a slave state to Russia and the Soviet Union for centuries. When the Soviet Union broke up in 1991, Bolshevik commissars established sovereign borders for Ukraine from territories previously ruled by Russia, Poland and Austria.
The willingness of local government officials and police in Crimea and now Luhskan to surrender peacefully and submit to Russian rule presents a major problem for Ukraine and for Western nations who fear Putin has only began to accumulate sovereign territories.
"The regional leadership does not control its police force," said Stanislav Rechynsky, an aide to Interior Minister Arsen Avakov, referring to events in Luhansk. "The local police did nothing."
A Luhansk occupation would give pro-Moscow rebels control over two provincial capitals, including Donetsk where they have proclaimed an independent "People's Republic of Donetsk" and declared a referendum on secession for May 11.
The strategy is similar to one that saw Crimea reclaimed by Russia after pro-Russian invaders backed by 40,000 Russian troops on the border took control of the city. Like Luhskan, Crimea has a large industrial base, making it a viable target for Moscow.
Putin recently described Luhskan as "New Russia," in the same term used by tsars after conquering the region in the 18th and 19th centuries.
The U.S. embassy in Kiev said pro-Russian activists are behaving like "terrorists, plans simple." Monday, Pro-Russian militants attacked a rally of Kiev supporters - the militants were armed with wood clubs and iron bars. Pro-Russian forces now hold several dozen hostages, including seven unarmed European military monitors.
Western Europe, despite administering soft sanctions, seems to be holding its collective breath, hoping that the U.S. can stop the Russian aggression in Ukraine before it spreads to other regions.
However, it is becoming increasingly clear that the U.S. does not have the economic clout required nor the will for another European war.
Meanwhile, Western Europe has grown dependent on Russian oil and natural gas and Moscow has threatened to turn off the faucet to Europe in retaliation of sanctions.
Mr. Obama and his beleaguered Secretary of State have made multiple threats against Russia. However, both, from the outset, ruled out military options in dealing with the Ukraine crisis.
With Putin intent on rebuilding some variation of the former Soviet Union and Pres. Obama confronting him with a tiny stick of sanctions, countries of Western Europe should learn to equate energy independence with national security.

Jon Gravelli was an old school and well connected Mafia boss in Grand Theft Auto IV. He took charge of the Gambetti Family in 1978 after the death of Sonny Cangelosi. The Gambetti Family became one of the most powerful of Liberty City's Mafia families under Gravelli's leadership. He had a son, Jon Gravelli, Jr., who was a former associate of the Gambetti's but was disowned after he developed a cocaine addiction.
Since 2005, he was a patient in Schottler Medical Center. He was charged with racketeering in 2006 and was awaiting trial. In 2008, Gravelli was introduced to Niko Bellic via cellphone through his contact at U.L. Paper who is referred to as a "mutual friend". It was through his and U.L Paper's assistance that Niko is able to have Darko Brevic delivered to him. After Niko has taken his revenge on Dimitri Rascalov or Jimmy Pegorino, Gravelli passes away peacefully in his sleep, prior to standing trial.

In 1988, Steven Svoboda was an offensive guard for the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. During the first kickoff return of a game against Colgate University, he was charging up field to get into position so he could block for the ball carrier. As he turned to look for the player he was supposed to block, Svoboda realized that the player had already passed him; any hit now would be on the player's back (a "no-no" in football). As Svoboda tried in a split second to reorient himself, he hit the ground with everything about his body position wrong.
"I planted my foot and a blow torch went off in the back of my knee," says Svoboda remembering that moment.
Svoboda had torn his anterior cruciate ligament, or ACL, the major ligament that stabilizes the knee joint when twisting, cutting or pivoting. The injury ended his football career but inspired him to choose orthopedic surgery with a specialty in sports medicine. Today Lieutenant Steven Svoboda is one of several orthopedic surgeons at West Point tending cadets with ACL tears and other athletic injuries.
The sports universe revolves around torn ACL tears, because they are so common an injury. Reconstructing a torn ACL – a technique less available in Svoboda's day – helps athletes return to their sport. Such surgeries, though, may not save the joint from osteoarthritis (OA). In fact, people who have sustained an ACL tear seem to get post-traumatic osteoarthritis as early as 10 years after the injury.
Such a predictable timeframe is giving arthritis researchers a molecular peek into the earliest progression of the disease. Osteoarthritis takes decades to develop. By the time people experience pain in their joints, OA has already advanced to a late stage.
For now, physicians diagnose arthritis using X-rays, which are not sensitive enough to find the disease as it first develops. Svoboda and others in the OA community would like to diagnose OA before changes in the joint occur.
To do so, the researchers need biomarkers – biological materials used to track the progress of a disease. Biomarkers in the blood would allow arthritis researchers the opportunity to stalk OA long before the disease could be detected by any other means. Such an opportunity will help scientists find a drug that may prevent OA. For now though, no osteoarthritis biomarkers are available.
There are some biomarkers that track what's called cartilage turnover. After an injury cartilage breaks down and builds up again, while such biomarkers aren't the perfect way to look for predictors of OA, Svoboda decided they're a good place to start. He designed an experiment using biomarkers that track cartilage turnover to see whether the levels of these molecules changed after ACL injuries.
As it happens, the cadets at West Point are a perfect study group for researchers like Svoboda. Their ages and fitness levels are similar; they're evaluated medically from the get-go and their health care is provided by the hospital and physicians on the post. Also each class has about 1,000 cadets. When the 45 or so cadets tear an ACL each year, they see either Svoboda or one of his colleagues, so the injuries are easy to track. Because cadets have blood drawn and stored at predictable timeframes, any changes in biomarker levels would be easy to follow.
All cadets at West Point engage in contact sports and rigorous physical training. These activities are also well tracked so Svoboda would have an idea of how often cadets are exposed to physical activity. The interval between injury and ACL surgery is short at West Point because the physical demands of cadets require a fully functioning knee joint. Following post-surgical changes in biomarkers would be possible.

Van Persie wants to win more PL titles with Man Utd
Manchester United star Robin van Persie has said that he is not content with just claiming the club's 13th Premier League title and wants to win more trophies.
The club can achieve a Premier League-record haul of 96 points by winning each of their last four games, having claimed the title on Monday night with a 3-0 win over Aston Villa, thanks to a majestic hat-trick from Van Persie, The Sun reports.
Starved for silverware for a long time, the Dutchman said that the win has set the new standard for their team, adding that they have to make sure that they win every year to keep the bar raised.
Van Persie, who left Arsenal last summer, further said that even though he is pleased with his first title win, he is not content and wants to win the FA Cup, Champions League and the League Cup in the future, adding that he is confident that the club will be champions every year from now on.
Sharing his celebrations of a first title win with veteran Ryan Giggs, who was celebrating his 13th, Van Persie further said that it is an honour to play with Giggs as he sets an example for the other players by the way he plays.
According to Van Persie, although Giggs is 39 years old, he is still fit and is a true challenge for any player. (ANI)

Meniscus Surgery
The meniscus is a C-shaped pad of specialized cartilage that functions as a shock-absorber within the knee. There are 2 menisci in the knee joint - one on the inside of the knee (medial meniscus) and one on the outside of the knee (lateral meniscus). The menisci are located between the femur and tibia bones in the knee and distribute weight and reduce friction during movement.
Treatment of meniscal tears depends on several factors including the type of tear, the location of the tear, and the activity level of the patient. If surgery is necessary, minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques are used to either trim out the torn portion of the meniscus (partial menisectomy) or repair the meniscus (meniscal repair).
Meniscal tears occur with twisting injuries to the knee and are commonly associated with ACL tears. They can be due to a traumatic injury, often seen in athletes, or due to a degenerative process in which the meniscus becomes more brittle. The symptoms of a meniscus tear include pain, swelling, locking, and the inability to completely straighten the knee joint.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The Tulane track and field team set two school records and posted two NCAA provisional qualifiers Saturday night at the Seminole Twilight meet in Tallahassee, Fla.
Junior Lana Garner was the top collegiate finisher in the women's 400-meter dash with a time of 53.20. The junior from San Diego, Calif., broke her existing school record by 18 one-hundredths of a second and provisionally qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
Junior Edrige Darling also set a school record and provisionally qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Championships in winning the men's 400-meter hurdles. The Kingston, Jamaica, native ran a time of 50.26 to top a field of 10 and break his existing school record by more than half a second.
Also putting in solid performances for the Green Wave was senior Nadia Smith and junior Carlton Davis. Smith won the women's high jump with a mark of 5-feet, 8 inches, while Davis set season bests in the men's 200 meters (21.75) and a personal best in the 400 meters (48.16).
The meet was Tulane's final competition prior to the 1999 Conference USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, which begin Thursday in Milwaukee, Wis.

Tips on how to land your backhandspring:
Before attempting these tips you must first be able to throw a backhandspring. Click here for instructions (make sure you have a proper spotter on hand)
Now let's understand why you are not landing your backhandpspring. Here are a couple of reasons:
How do you fix these problems?
- For poor technique you need to practice. Make sure you are dipping with your legs, using your arms, using your legs, sitting back, jumping, throwing your head back (not to the side), keeping your arms straight, etc. etc. For safety reasons you really need an instructor with you to improve your technique, and to also pinpoint what you are doing incorrect.
- For Not enough momentum you need to make sure you are sitting back into the BH and jumping. This will give your BH momentum and make it easier to get your feet around. Trying standing with your back to a wall and squating so that as you squat you fall into the wall. This exercise will help you understand what it should feel like when you begin your BH.
- For No push off/shrug make sure you are giving a shrug/push off the ground to help continue the momentum of the BH, and to help you snap your feet to the ground. Try doing a handstand, then shrug and snap your feet to the ground for a good exercise. This will improve the power and stregnth in your shoulders and make your BH easier.
- For No snap with your legs make sure you are using your abs to snap your legs down. This will continue the momentum of your BH and help get your feet underneath you. Many cheerleaders have lazy legs. This is when their legs just flop to the ground as they are trying to land their backhandspring. Do quick crunches to improve the speed/stregnth of your abs.
- For Landing not squeezed make sure you get your feet underneath you, squat down, and squeeze your body as you land. Make sure you try to not move in the end as you land. Many cheerleaders concentrate too much on the actual BH and forget the landing. So always work on every aspect of the BH for your full benefit.

Press Release: Meaningful Carbon Offset Campaign Launch | November 24, 2009
Solar Cooker System as "Most Meaningful Carbon Offset" Campaign Launched
Sacramento, CA, November 24, 2009. Solar Cookers International (SCI), a not-for-profit organization founded in 1987, announced today the launch of "The most meaningful carbon offset is also the simplest" campaign.
This campaign is arriving at a time when an enormous number of individuals want to do something meaningful to slow global warming. Yet, while our governments are painfully slow to act, options to offset our own carbon usage have been limited and, for many, of questionable impact. A recent report that voluntary carbon offsets for airline travelers do more to assuage guilt than reduce carbon emmissions has created a cloud of doubt around the benefits of such programs. "SCI's campaign is different from airline programs in that placing solar cookers in the hands of people who would otherwise burn wood or fossil fuels, actually reduces black carbon by up to one ton per family per year," says Kevin Porter, Director of Education Resources at SCI.
SCI is launching an online campaign, with a video where people can make a fifty-dollar donation that will allow SCI to provide one of the neediest families on earth with a Solar Cookit system and necessary training. Donors of the $50 CooKit systems will receive certificates showing a woman with a solar cooker next to the large pile of wood that will not have to be gathered or burned as a result of the tax deductible carbon offset contribution.
"Solar cooking emits zero carbon, and it reduces the desperate need to dangerously gather and burn wood in deforested environments," said Honey Walters, of the SCI Board of Directors. "Each Cookit provides recipients with everything they need to transition from wood fires to solar cooking, including essential on-the-ground training, a solar cooker, a black cooking pot, a clean water container and an innovative water indicator to tell when water has heated enough to kill deadly microbes in drinking water."
Solar Cookers International is widely considered the world pioneer in advancing solar cooking, through its product development and field training experience. SCI has improved the lives of tens of thousands through the development, distribution and training of solar cooking devices in Africa. SCI helped invent an innovative "water pasteurization indicator," a simple life-saving device that measures when solar-heated water is clear of all disease-causing microbes. For more information, visit www.solarcookers.org.
Progressive Source Communications created the campaign and the video found on the webpage.
Alternative Giving this Holiday Season | November 3, 2009
The holidays are fast approaching. As in years past, Solar Cookers International (SCI) wishes to encourage its members and supporters to consider alternative gift-giving, the practice of making a meaningful contribution to a worthy cause in lieu of a traditional present. There are many great reasons to engage in this form of giving, including: promoting altruism, mitigating the effects of the holidays on the environment, and emphasizing the true spirit of the season.
A popular way of participating in alternative giving is to make a donation in someone else's name. For this we offer gift cards personalized with a hand-written message of your choosing. And for those who prefer to buy something that can be unwrapped, there's good news - the proceeds from sales of our solar cooking products support our nonprofit work, and the gift recipients are introduced to the wonderful benefits of cooking with the sun!
To place your holiday orders, please visit the SCI Marketplace or contact SCI Office Manager and Marketing Coordinator Sierra Scott at (916) 455-4499.

BlackBerry Z30 finally gets a release date on Verizon: November 14
The BlackBerry Z30 was officially announced back in September, but only towards the end of last month did we hear anything about it from Verizon. Big Red boasted that it will exclusively sell the Z30 in the United States (though it's still unclear whether that will be forever or just for a limited time), and gave us the pricing information.
That said, when it came to spilling out an actual release date all the carrier managed to say was "in November". Now that we're almost at the middle of said month, you might be getting impatient if you're anxious to get your hands on BlackBerry's first ever phablet.
Fret not, though, for Verizon has today come back and given us the last piece of the puzzle. The BlackBerry Z30 will be available online for $199.99 (with a new two-year contract) on November 14, which is this Thursday. The carrier did not say anything about in-store availability, so that may come at a later date (or never, who knows?).
So there you have it. In just a couple of days the Z30 will be on offer at Verizon. The handset comes with a 5-inch 720p Super AMOLED HD touchscreen, a 1.7 GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, an 8 MP rear camera with 1080p video recording, a 2 MP front camera, 16 GB of built-in storage space, a microSD card slot for expansion, 4G LTE, dual-band Wi-Fi a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, GPS, and a non-removable 2,880 mAh battery. It runs BlackBerry OS 10.2.

Nokia Asha 2050 (with QQ button) officially launched in China
Just like we told you last month, the Chinese version of Nokia's Asha 205 doesn't come with a Facebook button, but a QQ one (since Facebook is blocked in China, and QQ is one of the most popular isntant messaging services there).
Today, Nokia has officially presented the QQ-friendly handset in China, where it's called Nokia 2050 (seemingly without the Asha branding) .
The 2050 will be sold only unlocked in China, for 399 CNY (around $64). Apart from the QQ button, the handset doesn't seem to be different from the international version. Its features include dual SIM capabilities, a 2.4 inch QVGA landscape display, S40 User Interface, Nokia's new Slam Bluetooth sharing service, full QWERTY keyboard, Nokia Xpress Browser, Nokia Life Tools, 40 free EA games, 3.5mm headset jack, stereo FM radio, VGA photo camera, MicroSD card support (up to 32GB), and a 1,020 mAh battery that can provide a stand-by time of up to 25 days.
China aside, the Asha 205 should be available in lots of countries around the world starting next month (in both single SIM, and dual SIM editions), retailing for about $62. The phone will have several color versions, including black with cyan, and white with orange. Most likely, the handset will be quite successful in emerging markets.

Yet a Problem which has no answers and solutions gets unanswered. - not even a, im sorry i have no idea.
a reply would be nice.
Ive been playing games from SI since CM95/96 - and every year there is problems, bug this bug that, requires this patch and that patch.
NO OTHER GAME needs patches as much as games from these amatures, infact every year there is a patch out within a week of the games release.
WHY RELEASE SOMETHING THAT ISNT READY??? here is a clue, release the goldish demo earlier then 2 weeks before release. and get it tested by your community before it goes to print.
yet this has been the worst release of the lot, and i hope there are alot of job losses over this and alot of houses repossessed.
You are very lucky to have a community that will put up with this every year. But in times like these, you shouldnt take that for granted.
Here is a tip, instead of adding features that no body wants and spending most your budget on it (3d match engine). why dont you get it working instead, and maybe find a way to speed it up to?
ive asked all my friends, and not one uses the 2d or 3d engine - all use text.

If you have created an online website to carry out online transactions and provide many other services to your customers with the help of internet you must get ready to take a few additional responsibilities on your shoulder. Your website is the platform where you get the chance to impress your visitors and customers. There are certain aspects that all websites must possess in order to make customers happy. The most important of all is to keep all areas of the website friendly for the user. This will keep customers coming back to your website and giving you more business.
Here are some areas of your website that you must make friendly for all online visitors:
A Friendly Home Page
The first place to get your visitor's attention is the home page of your website. Your home page should give an overview of your products and services to your visitors. It shouldn't be an in-depth story of how you built your business or completely devoid of any information of what you do. The layout of the page should be simple and it should have perfect proportions of text, images, videos and whiteness. Remember that the blank white part of any web page is just as important as the part with content.
A Friendly Color Scheme
You might not have thought about it but a website must have a friendly color scheme as well, especially a blog. First, your website should reflect the colors of your brand and secondly the colors must be soothing to the eyes. Think of using dark font on light background in a way that the text doesn't hurt the eyes. Don't go for stuff that's too flashy. A white background and black text should always be the preferred choice. However, you can experiment with other colors that do not make your website look odd.
A Friendly Search Box
Too often you come across websites that have plenty of information on them but no search box. This could be the most annoying factor for a customer who's on your website to give you business. To the least, a customer must always be able to find the information on your website that he has come for. Make sure that you have a search box on your website. Furthermore, make the location of the search box friendly. It should be clearly visible on the page. Top right or left of the page have always been great positions to put the search box.
A Friendly Shopping Cart
Shopping cart is the place where you really start to see your efforts turning into income. However, an unfriendly cart could send your customers away in no time. Make the cart easily available and a little trolley sign could be a great help to make the cart easily visible. Always provide visuals of the products that customer has in the shopping cart so he/she never ends up buying the wrong products. Your shopping cart must have the search feature, i.e. product ID, etc. Make the process of redeeming a discount coupon easy and always provide contact details on the last page of your cart to reassure the customer.
Considering all the essentials of a website discussed above, you can easily understand that it is a must for you to have a website professionally developed. If you are not working with in-house developers, you can hire a web development company, such as Live Transfers that will not only design your website but will also help with getting leads, such as insurance, annuity, mortgage live transfer leads, etc. This way, you will not only have an online presence but will also get help in generating more revenues.

It's not even summer yet but it definitely feels like we're in the dog days of summer! To cool some dogs off and raise some money, the Humane Society of Bay County teamed up with Hooter's on Thomas drive Saturday for a "dog wash".
Instead of the usual car wash, Hooter's girls volunteered their time to wash dogs in an effort to raise some money for the Humane Society.
"We do events like this mainly to get exposure for the organization. A lot of people don't know who we are and that we exist and the things that we do with the program," said Marketing Director for the Humane Society of Bay County, Sean Brosnan.
Brosnan says the Humane Society of Bay County is sponsoring a fun event every Saturday this summer. For information on upcoming events visit www.adoptme.org.
