EUGENE, Ore. (AP) -- Oregon's LaMichael James was waiting to bust out with a big run. He got his chance against Missouri State.
The Heisman Trophy finalist last season ran 90 yards for a score in the No. 12 Ducks' 56-7 victory over the lower division Bears on Saturday. He ran for a total of 204 yards and two additional scores.
The breakout came after two games that fell below his rushing average last season.
``I haven't been frustrated,'' he said. ``It's going to happen, you know? Eventually it's going to happen.''
James' 90-yard dash was Oregon's longest run since 1938. He added a 1-yard TD run in the first quarter and a 50-yarder in the third.
The long one was really the result of the Ducks' offensive line, James insisted, and the path that was cleared by wide receiver Justin Hoffman - who dramatically pushed aside two defenders.
When asked when he knew he was going to score, the speedy running back responded: ``When I got into the end zone. Seriously.''
James has 45 career touchdowns, matching the school record set by Derek Loville (1986-89).
Darron Thomas threw for 206 yards and three touchdowns for the Ducks (2-1). Lavasier Tuinei caught scoring passes of 8 and 34 yards, and Oregon sat most of its starters early in the second half.
Missouri State (0-3) scored on its first possession. The Bears were efficient in a nine-play, 84-yard drive that was capped by Chris Douglas' 3-yard touchdown run to make it 7-0. By halftime, though, the Ducks were ahead 35-7.
Trevor Wooden completed six of 13 passes for 91 yards, and ran for 67 yards. He said the issue was keeping up with the bigger, stronger and faster Ducks.
``We showed what we could do at the beginning,'' he said.
It was the Ducks' 18th straight victory at Autzen Stadium.
Saturday's opponent was supposed to be Utah, but that game was changed because of the Pac-12 realignment. Oregon was left scrambling for an opponent, and the Bears stepped in.
Oregon scored twice in the first quarter on James' 1-yard run and Thomas' 8-yard scoring pass to Tuinei.
Oregon freshman De'Anthony Thomas topped 100 all-purpose yards in the first quarter on one punt return, one kickoff return, one run and a reception.
Oregon made it 21-7 on Thomas's 7-yard touchdown pass to freshman Colt Lyerla, on a drive that spanned 93 yards on three plays in 37 seconds.
While that was fast, it couldn't compare to James' 90-yard scoring run a short time later. That drive took all of 13 seconds. The longest run in school history was Bob Smith's 92-yarder against Idaho in 1938.
Thomas' second scoring pass to Tuinei came with 5:33 to go before the half. Thomas matched a school record with six touchdown passes the week before in a 69-20 victory over Nevada.
James opened the second half with a 50-yard scoring run.
The running back had been held to 54 yards in Oregon's season-opening 40-27 loss to then-No. 4 LSU. Then last week against the Wolf Pack he ran for 67 yards, but scored on a run, a reception and a punt return.
James averaged more than 144 yards rushing a game last season. After Saturday's performance, he upped his average this season to 108.3 yards.
Oregon backup Bryan Bennett hit Lyerla with a 26-yard TD pass, and Eric Dungy with a 22-yard scoring strike to make it 56-7 in the third quarter after the starters left.

If you're adding a map to your website, why settle for the vanilla design when you can customize it and leave your own personal mark?
This tutorial will show you how to create a custom map from scratch, then add a little unique flavor to it by replacing the standard "map pin" icon with a custom icon of your own design.
To do this, we'll be using Mapstraction, a library that creates map code that can be reused across all the big mapping providers (Yahoo, Google, et al). Mapstraction also allows for multiple types of customization such as custom info bubbles and graphics like the one we'll be dropping onto the map.
Note: This tutorial is adapted from the book Map Scripting 101 by Adam DuVander. Adam is a former Webmonkey contributor and executive editor of Programmable Web. In his book, he shows how to use all of the features of the most popular mapping APIs, and how to mash them up with data from other sources like events calendars, weather services and restaurant review sites to make a variety of custom maps.
This exercise comes from chapters 1 and 2 of Adam's book, and it is reprinted here with his permission and that of the book's publisher, No Starch Press. It isn't a word-for-word excerpt. It has been slightly adapted to work as a web tutorial. You'll find dozens of in-depth exercises — including the full version of this one — in the book itself.
Create a Mapstraction map
Mapstraction is a little different from Google Maps and Yahoo Maps. Mapstraction is an open source JavaScript library that ties into other mapping APIs. If you use Mapstraction, you can switch from one type of map to another with very little work, as opposed to rewriting your code completely.
Using Mapstraction limits your risk to changes being made to an API. For example, if your site's traffic takes you beyond the limit for your chosen provider, or the provider begins placing ads on the map, Mapstraction lets you switch providers quickly and inexpensively.
To use Mapstraction, you must first choose a provider. In this example, I'm using Mapstraction to create a Google Map.

Nevertap Tournament, May 15, 2005, Newport Beach The tournament attendance was low, but the event was well run. Hopefully the next one will be better attended. Here's a breakdown of the superfights.
Jimmy Smith vs. Jamie Walsh These two started off standing up for a little while, trying to feel each other out, both trying to work for controlling grips. Jimmy then tried a scissor takedown - he ended up pulling guard into a butterfly/x guard position.There was a slight scramble as Jamie tried to pass, which lead to Jimmy being able to sweep him. Jimmy came up, attempted some legs locks, pulled guard, and attacked the leg. They stood back up - Jimmy jumped to the closed guard and Jamie remained standing. They broke from there, Jimmy attemped a takedown, which was defended by Jamie and then he pulled guard. That was the end of round 1. Round 2 started with Jimmy pulling guard. Jamie passed the half guard, Jimmy turtled. Jamie attacked with a rear naked choke from the turtle position which was defended by Jimmy. Jimmy ended up on his back in butterfly guard, Jamie passed the butterfly guard - he had a close front head lock/guillotine attack at the end of this round. Round 3 was real short. It started with Jimmy shooting a takedown, Jamie sprawled, spun to take the back and ended with a rear naked choke. Scott Bieri vs. Mondo Sanchez This match was pretty much dominated by Scott the whole time. In the first round the action was initiated by a takedown by Scott, which was immediately followed with a pass to half guard. He then passed the guard to side control and mounted. Mondo started to escape the mount and ended up putting Scott back in his guard. Scott passed the guard again, went to knee on stomach, then mount, then back to knee on stomach, then to mount again - the whole time he was attacking. Mondo had a few leg attacks that round, but nothing really substantial. Round 2, Mondo attempted a takedown, which was defended well by Scott. Mondo then pulled guard, which Scott passed and went right to mount where he started attacking the arms. There were a lot of positional changes after this - Scott pretty much controlled the top position. Mondo had Scott in his half guard - Bieri was controlling from the top, attempting a few chokes (brabo choke, d'arce choke...) at the end of this round. Round 3 was real quick. Scott executed a snap down from standing, took the back and got the choke. Simson Go vs. Scotty Epstein This match was pretty much dominated by Sim the whole time. Sim came in, pulled butterfly guard, then went to an arm drag. Scotty decided rather than getting his back taken, he would go to his back, giving Sim top position. They scrambled and ended up standing. Sim pulled guard after Scotty attempted a takedown. The rest of this round was characterized by aggresive guard passing attempts by Scotty and aggressive sweep attempts by Sim Go. Round 2 Sim pretty much had Scotty on his heels the entire round. Sim came out, pulled guard, went to some aggressive sweeps from butterfly guard. He went to a single leg sweep, controlled the top and took the back. The round ended with Sim trying to finish a very close rear naked choke. Round 3, Sim pulled guard to a sweep, a scramble ensued with Epstein getting a couple of close guard passes, getting close to the edge of the mat. Sim reconstituted his guard, ended up with a triangle attack near the edge of the mat. They started in the middle in the same position - not a fully locked triangle, but the general position. Sim kept attacking with triangle chokes and some other submissions, a lot of scrambling, and that's pretty much how the match ended, with Sim coming out victorious. Steve Magdaleno vs. Joe Camacho Very aggressive standup from both of them. Camacho shot in, attempting a takedown. Steve responded with a front choke, he jumped to guard and used the choke to reverse. Joe was defending, defending, defending. Steve passed to the half guard and attacked with a knee bar. Joe responded with a cross face reversal. The 2nd round began with multiple takedown attempts, both aggresively trying to take each other down. Joe ended up on his back a couple of times. Steve was able to secure two guard passes. Joe had a couple of good choke attacks. Round 3 - Steve attacked with a double leg, passed the guard, then he had a kimura attempt. Joe reversed from the kimura to an arm lock attempt. They exchanged leg locks a couple of times, and Joe returned to closed guard. Steve broke open the guard and finished with a straight ankle lock. Bill Cooper vs. Nam Phan The first round was characterized with a lot of takedown attempts. Cooper had a lot of arm drag to single attacks. Nam was shooting doubles, single legs... Nam has very good takedown defense. Finally Cooper nailed an arm drag single, went to guard pass, then knee on stomach. Round 2 - they both attempted several takedowns. Nam attempted some single legs, Cooper tried for some choke attacks. That was pretty much all of Round 2. Round 1 was pretty much Cooper... guard passing, takedown and choke attempts. Second round, Nam attempted a takedown and Cooper defended and ended up on top in half guard. Cooper passed half guard and attempted to mount with a triangle attack from the top position, then went to attack the kimura. Cooper would attack the kimura, Nam would defend the kimura and attack the straight arm lock - this position would change over and over, about three times. They stood back up, reset for a quick second, Nam pulled half guard, Bill passed, mounted, dismounted, went for a choke attack. They stood back up, and there were some double leg attacks. Nam looked a little gassed in the third round and Cooper pretty much positionally dominated. It was very action packed, many exchanges, but positionally dominated by Cooper, who ended up winning the match. Jason Miller vs. Eric Kelly There's really not much to say about this match. Jason pretty much did whatever he wanted to do. Eric came out, tried a couple of takedown attempts, and never really got the chance to get anything going. Miller on the other hand pulled guard, had some guillotine attacks that lead to some reversals and sweeps. He looked like he would attack with a move, get to a dominate position, then back away. He would pull guard, sweep, pass, and then get up and walk back to the middle of the ring, and repeat. Round 2 was the same thing - he would come in, pull guard, sweep, pass the guard, stand up and walk back. At one point he seemed to be playing around, he passed to half guard and kind of rolled over onto his back, giving Kelly the top position. He would give up positions and then sweep. It looked like he would get bored with a dominate position and then give it up. Round 3 was more of the same. Jason had a couple of combinations... a D'Arce choke into a rear naked when Eric would turn. Jason tapped Eric with a choke. Antonio McKee vs. Paulo Guillobel Pretty much the whole match was characterized by Antonio trying to shoot and Paulo attacking with a guillotine and jumping guard. McKee would defend the guillotine, Paulo would attempt an over hook and try to sweep and McKee would try to pass. That was pretty much the whole first round. Round 2 - there was an exchange of tie ups. McKee went for an underhook, which gave Paulo the overhook where he then jumped guard and attacked from his guard. Antonio was able to pass the guard. The closest submission of the match was when Paulo went to escape side control to his guard, he immediately attacked with an omo plata to a triangle. McKee picked him up and slammed Guillobel to defend the triangle - it didn't look like a slam intended to hurt Paulo, it was more McKee trying to shake him off, which ended up being a slam. Round 3 - more of the same. Guillobel pulled guard - Antonio tried to pass. There would be a couple of close passes, followed by a scramble and then a pass. McKee had a takedown during the round, and a couple of close passes. Guillobel spent most of round 3 defending. McKee won by judges decision. Marc Laimon vs. Fabio Nascimento Laimon pulled guard, went to open guard and started playing rubber guard, pulling his leg up over Fabio's back. He worked into an omo plata which Fabio attempted to stand up to defend. Laimon held on for a second, then put him back into his guard. Laimon was then working his guard, defending the pass, as Fabio worked hard to pass. Laimon attacked the omo plata again. The round ended with Fabio defending the omo plata and Laimon ending up in the closed guard. Round 2 - Nascimento pulled guard. Laimon remained standing - had a couple of very close guard passes, which I think might have spooked Nascimento. They both stood up, Laimon pulled guard, with Fabio trying to pass. Laimon tried to take his back once. Round 3 was more of the same. Laimon pulled guard, Fabio trying to pass as he did in round 2. There were a couple of times in round 3 where Fabio attacked with a leg lock - came really close to passing Laimon's guard once, forcing him to go to his knees. Fabio almost took his back, but nothing really close. The decision went to Laimon.

Released: Dec 01st, 2005
Running Time: 59
Director: B J Frazer
Company: California Star Productions
Cast: Coral Sands, Francesca L?
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Specialty
In this brief, lighthearted bondage feature, Coral Sands is a fetish model who secretly harbors a passion for her sexy roommate, Francesca Lé, and masturbates to pictures of Lé's bondage website. When Lé comes home and hears Sands's moans, she is equally turned on, and jills herself off in the hallway! The two catch each other, and spend the afternoon in some naughty hog-tying fun.
The sound and lighting could be better, but Sands and Lé are great - you really believe these two are real roommates, with normal worries about whether they'll still be able to live together after getting it on, and such. Sands is eerily effective in an unpredictable, stalker-like performance, laughingly binding her roomie one minute and freaking out the next; and Lé's facial expressions are priceless - watching her jokingly try to tiptoe in stiletto heels is hilarious. The knotwork is also above average, but this is more fun to watch than incredibly sexy.
Retailing: A good choice for bondage novices, but a little too light for hardcore fans.

2011-12 Cougar Men's Basketball Schedule | 2011-12 Cougar Men's Basketball Schedule
PULLMAN, Wash. - At least sixteen games against 2011 postseason tournament participants and a trip to the 76 Classic in Anaheim, Calif., highlight the 2011-12 Washington State University men's basketball schedule, as announced by head coach Ken Bone, Wednesday.
WSU will play 12 games in Pullman, five in nonconference action and seven in Pac-12 play, along with `home' games at Spokane Arena and Seattle's KeyArena.
"Each of my previous two years at Washington State we have put together a solid schedule, and I believe this season is no different," WSU head coach Ken Bonesaid. "Many of our games will be played in the Pacific Northwest, which I think is great for Cougar fans. I'm excited to get back to Seattle for the Cougar Hardwood Classic and to be able to open up Pac-12 play in Spokane, giving our fans all over the state an opportunity to catch Washington State basketball."
The Cougars open up the season it what has recently been one of the biggest games on their schedule, heading north to Spokane to take on Gonzaga, Monday, Nov. 14. WSU will open its home season Thursday, Nov. 17 hosting Sacramento State. This marks the first time since 2006-07 that the Cougars will not open the season at home and just the second time in eight years. It's the first time they will open the season on an opponents' home court since 1999-2000 when the Cougars fell at Nevada 80-55. In both 2006-07 and 2003-04 WSU opened up at tournaments, while it hosted Colorado State at the Spokane Arena in its first game of the 2001-02 season.
Washington State packs up and hits the road for its next four games beginning at Portland, Nov. 20. The Cougars and Pilots met last season at KeyArena in the Cougar Hardwood Classic, with WSU taking the 84-68 victory. For the Thanksgiving holiday WSU will participate in the 76 Classic at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, Calif. (Nov. 24, 25 and 27), opening against Oklahoma (Nov. 24) for the first meeting between the two teams. Each team will compete in one game per day, advancing through a bracket-tournament format. The two teams that remain undefeated throughout will face-off in a championship match Sunday, Nov. 27. The fifth annual early season multi-team event also includes Boston College, New Mexico, Saint Louis, Santa Clara, UC Riverside, and Villanova.
Five of the eight-team field reached the 2011 postseason. Villanova advanced to the NCAA Championship second round, while Boston College and New Mexico earned NIT berths, each advancing to the second round. Santa Clara won the title game of the College Insider Tournament. The Cougars will face either New Mexico or Santa Clara in their second game of the tournament.
"We're excited to be a part of the 76 Classic put on by ESPN," Bone said. "Like the Diamond Head Classic last season, this tournament gives us a great opportunity to face high-caliber opponents while gaining national exposure."
The Cougars return home for back-to-back games hosting Grambling (Nov. 30) and Eastern Washington (Dec. 3). The Eagles feature first-year head coach Jim Hayford and former WSU basketball standout Craig Ehlo as an assistant coach. Four days later WSU makes the short trip across the border to take on Idaho in Moscow (Dec. 7), before hosting Santa Clara in Pullman Sunday, Dec. 11. Last season the Broncos and Cougars went into overtime before WSU came out with the 85-79 victory beginning its 14-day, six-game road trip. The two teams may be participating in a rematch as they could meet in the 76 Classic over Thanksgiving.
After a week off from games for finals, WSU takes to the court again Sunday, Dec. 18 hosting Western Oregon at Beasley Coliseum. The two teams have met twice, both meetings during the 1935-36 season as the Cougars hold a 2-0 advantage. That game is the last chance for fans to see Washington State in Pullman until Jan. 19, 2012.
WSU closes out its nonconference season at the Cougar Hardwood Classic, going up against Pepperdine, Thursday, Dec. 22. The two teams are tied in the all-time series 2-2 and the Cougars won the last meeting 82-77, Dec. 13, 1986. WSU is undefeated in the CHC, holding a 6-0 mark in the annual game.
"I believe our nonconference schedule will help get us ready for the Pac-12," Bone said. "It gives our news guys, especially, a chance to play a variety of teams at home, on the road and in neutral-site settings, which I think will help prepare them for the second half of the season. We are excited about the addition Colorado and Utah to the Pac-12 and believe the league will be highly competitive once again."
The Cougars open the Pac-12 era Thursday, Dec. 29 in Spokane hosting 2011 College Basketball Invitational (CBI) Champion, Oregon (away, Feb. 11), followed by Oregon State Dec. 31 (away, Feb. 9) at Spokane Arena. WSU has played a game at Spokane Arena 14 of the last 15 seasons, including 12 conference games.
WSU will quickly get acquainted with Utah and Colorado as it heads to Salt Lake City to take on the Utes Thursday, Jan. 5, then on to Boulder, Colo. to face the Buffaloes, Saturday, Jan. 7. Last season Colorado advanced to the National Invitation Tournament (NIT) Championship semifinals along with WSU, falling to Alabama at Madison Square Garden. The road games are the only meetings between WSU and both Utah and Colorado of the Pac-12 season. The Cougars make it six games in a row away from Pullman as they head to Seattle to take on 2011 Pac-10 Tournament Champion and NCAA Tournament participant-Washington, Sunday, Jan. 15. Four of those six games away will be played in the state of Washington.
The Cougars host their first true home conference game of the season at Beasley Coliseum in January as Stanford (Jan. 19) and California (Jan. 21), who participated in the NIT last season, come to town in their only meetings with the Cardinal and Golden Bears of the Pac-12 season. WSU makes its trip to the dessert to take on defending Pac-10 Champion Arizona, which advanced to the `Elite Eight' of the 2011 NCAA Tournament, Thursday, Jan. 26 (home, Feb. 16) and Arizona State Jan. 28 (home, Feb. 18). WSU wraps up the first round of league play hosting NCAA Tournament participants USC (Feb. 2) and UCLA (Feb. 4).
Washington State will honor its seniors Saturday, Feb. 25 as Washington comes to town before concluding the Pac-12 season in Los Angeles to take on UCLA (March 1) and USC (March 3). The Pac-12 Tournament will take place March 7-10 at Staples Center, also in L.A.

For many, the American Dream includes starting a small business. One of the first steps toward the dream is to decide what legal form your business will take.
The simplest structure, and therefore most popular, is a sole proprietorship. Yes, it may be the most difficult to pronounce and spell, but it is the simplest legally!
You do not have to file legal papers to become a sole proprietor. If you are doing business and you do not have another type of legal structure, you are considered a sole proprietor. About 70 percent of businesses in the U.S. are sole proprietorships.
However, like any other business, you must file for the proper licenses/permits required by your state and local governments when starting a small business, as well as any industry requirement. Every state and locality has their own rules about what you need to file.
If you are not operating under your given name, you will likely have to file a fictitious name, trade name, or "doing business as" (also known as a DBA) with your state government. It is important to do some research for your business name to ensure you are not infringing on a trademark or another business name. You will need the paperwork from this filing in order to open a bank account under your business name. You may also need the proper local certifications.
In some areas, you need to file with the state, then county, then city. In other places, the city comes before the county. But, you will usually need to start with the state, even if you are operating under your own name.
One of the easiest ways to find out the laws in your area is to call your bank and ask them what you need to open a business account. Many state and local governments now have information online. Also, your local Small Business Development Center (part of the federal Small Business Administration) can help you sort out the local regulations. Their assistance is free and they are located throughout the country. Visit sba.gov and click on Local Assistance. There is an interactive map to help you find your local resources.
As a sole proprietor, you will be paying taxes on your overall earnings. However, you will be deducting your business expenses from those earnings, according to the federal, state, and local tax codes. Your "salary" as a sole proprietor is not considered a business expense and you don't have to decide what your salary will be in advance.
Since you won't be paid as an employee, no income tax will be deducted from whatever you withdraw your business earnings. What you'll have to do is file an estimated tax return (and possibly pay estimated taxes) on a quarterly basis. Check with the IRS for Publication 334, Tax Guide for Small Business. An accountant or bookkeeper is very helpful for estimating taxes and understanding the complex system for what you might need to pay quarterly.
Here are a few of the advantages to consider when starting a small business as a sole proprietor:
It is the easiest and least expensive business structure to start. Legal costs are minimal.
You have full control over all business decisions. You don't have to consult a partner or shareholders on decisions or changes you want to make.
Tax preparation is not significantly more cumbersome than filing your regular income tax. You will use a Schedule C to report your income/loss to the IRS, and most states have similar forms or use your federal information. You will need to file an extra form if you have a profit to report and pay self-employment taxes.
Here are a few of the disadvantages to consider when starting a small business as a sole proprietor:
Your personal assets are more at risk as a sole proprietor. Because there is no legal separation between you and your business, you can be help personally liable for the debts or other obligations and that includes liability for any legal actions.
It can be more difficult to raise money as a sole proprietor because you cannot sell stock to investors and banks may be more reluctant to lend money to a sole proprietor.

About the Small Business 101 Series from Small Business Divas
There is plenty of expert advice on small business available, but often the basic questions aren't answered. And for someone new to a subject, it's difficult to understand the information without a good understanding of the basics. The Small Business 101 Series is all about the basics: what, why and how.

A Super Bowl date change may be in order if extreme weather, particularly winter storms, interferes with the expected Sunday, Feb. 2, game day. However, fans of the upcoming Super Bowl XLVIII have little to worry about on this front, as current weather models say that severe temperatures or dangerous storms are only an "unlikely chance" that day. Yahoo! Sports reports this Thursday, Jan. 23, 2014, that the NFL has put into place contingency plans in case a game postponement is necessary, and is "embracing the weather."
In order for these contingencies to actually occur, severely cold weather or an extreme storm would need to be in the forecast on Sunday, Feb. 2. Fortunately, football fans have luck on their side so far — as of Wednesday, the forecast in East Rutherford, N.J., on game day is set for a high of 40 degrees with only a 30 percent chance of snow or cold rain. The official time of kickoff is 6:25 E.T.
"We are embracing the weather," said commissioner Roger Goodell this Monday in anticipation of the 2014 Super Bowl. "Football is played in the elements."
However, in the odd probability that this "unlikely chance" of bad storm or snow were to hit the area, fans should be ready to watch the game at any time between Friday, Jan. 31 to this Monday, Feb. 3. The NFL has wanted to make it clear that a Super Bowl date change would only be as part of a worst-case scenario.
"NFL officials are hoping fans embrace the first outdoor, cold-weather Super Bowl in league history. They will receive ear muffs, hat, lip balm, mittens, cup holder, scarf, tissues, a radio to listen to the game, hand warmers, a seat cushion and a waist-wrap, quarterback-style hand pocket."
While these items are meant to keep football fans warm, safe, and comfortable on game day, both Goodell and a number of NFL officials are reminding fans coming to the field to prepare for cold weather in order to enjoy Super Bowl XLVIII.
"I think that the various events that we have are going off without a hitch and in fact have already begun because staging this stadium is an event in and of itself," NFL vice president of operations Eric Grubman said. "We don't have a crystal ball on weather, but we're confident we'll be able to have our events."
Roughly 80,000 fans are expected to arriving to the N.J. stadium for Super Bowl 2014, so it's fortunate that there's only an unlikely chance of a Super Bowl date change — a delay might lead to a variety of challenges, including travel, lodging, and ticket alterations.

The Week In Review: Jan 16-22
Saturday, January 21, 2012
Well, another week down and I am seeing progress. I still do not have a working computer at home, but there is a light at the end of that tunnel. I was clearing out my files, and I found a service contract for the computer, and it is still valid! I NEVER buy extended service contracts, so I completely forgot about it. It�s from Sam�s Club, and if the computer can�t be fixed, they are supposed to replace it. So, hopefully I�ll have a fixed or new computer within a month.
I am down another 1.4 lbs, yeah! I also had blood work done and my cholesterol and blood sugar levels are great.
The past week was a very hectic one for me. My friend moved in and will be renting a room from us. He was originally going to move in on Feb. 1st, but he found out the utilities where he was staying were going to be shut off on the 18th. He was not happy, especially since he found out on the 11th. So, instead of being able to go leisurely through everything and get rid of stuff that was broken/old/outdated, I helped him scramble to pack up his stuff and haul it to our place. Then, I had to get the spare room ready for him. It was being used as a storage and catch all room, so I was planning to reorganize it. Add in the regular chores I had plus �spring cleaning� of my files, and I am one pooped puppy. My friend moving in has given me a bonus. He has decided to be my work out buddy, and he wants help to eat healthier and to lose weight. Once my computer situation is resolved, I am hoping to get him signed up with SP. I have my fingers crossed.
I have signed up for the Great Aloha Run. It is a Charity event that has become a President�s Day tradition here. You can walk or run, and it is probably close to the Honolulu Marathon when it comes to participation. One of my Hawaii Sparkers Team mates brought up the subject in October. I was excited at the time, but I changed my mind about doing it when I realized how far I had back stepped in my efforts. Then, last weekend, while I was proof reading my last blog, I realized I was giving up with out even trying, and I wasn�t going past my comfort zone. I immediately went to the GAR website and signed up. It is just over 8 miles, so I have started walking in the morning and in the evening. This past week I walked a total of just over 16.5 miles in three days. My body is feeling it, but I�d rather deal with it now and build up my stamina, than suffer on race day. I have Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to �rest� at work.
I am starting to get excited again, and I am hoping to keep that momentum going with out over doing or becoming overwhelmed. I have a habit of �biting off more than I can chew�. I already have a list of �goals� I want to add on to next month. I tell myself daily, take my time and take it in steps. I had half talked my self into adding one more thing last week, since I am �in training�. I had to stop and take a �time out� and really think things through. I decided to increase the amount of time I spend walking on my days off, thus am and pm walks, instead of struggling to fit something in on my working days like I was gung ho to do.
Thanks to all of you who have sent me encouragement and taken the time to read and comment on my blog. I can�t express eloquently enough how much it means to me. Until next week. Marni

A child prodigy, pianist Eldar Djangirov (pronounced john-'gear-ov) arrived in the United States from the former Soviet Union as a 10-year-old and was signed by Sony Masterworks as a teenager. His parents settled in Kansas City – and their gifted son soon gained a reputation for his precocious knowledge of the bebop tradition. Still a youngster, he met and worked with such masters as Dr. Billy Taylor, Dave Brubeck and Wynton Marsalis among many, many other jazz icons. At 12, Marian McPartland featured him on her long-running NPR show, "Piano Jazz"; in 2008, barely 20, he received his first GRAMMY® nomination.
A "veteran" at 26, Eldar makes his long-awaited first "We Always Swing"® Jazz Series appearance, performing the season-opening concert with his working trio of bassist Armando Gola and drummer Ludwig Afonso in support of Breakthrough (Motéma), his recent release that also features guests Joe Locke and saxophonist Chris Potter.

When Thomas Mcguinness of Port Charlotte, Florida posted a photo Thursday on Facebook of him holding a cat by the scruff of the neck and pointing a gun in the animal's face, no one except Mcguinness thought it was funny reported nbc2news.com.
Under the photo, as the irate criticism grew, Mcguinness posted:
"Don't know why everybody so mad about a cat, we only shot it twice."
Facebook users reported the photo to the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office and Animal Control. Port Charlotte Animal Welfare League Director Sharon Thomas was livid, stating:
"To see something like that it just turns my stomach. Just to pretend you're doing it or to think that it's funny in any shape or form is criminal to me."
Mcguinness set off a firestorm of rage and criticism, and later on that day removed the photo. Lt. Brian Jones, of the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office, said that Mcguinness was being cooperative, and had told authorities he had not harmed the cat. Animal Control states they will be checking the pets at his residence to make sure all are safe.
Later in the day, Mcguinness posted an apology on his Facebook page with the following statement:
"I would never hurt a little cat it was just a picture it just looks bad and it was stupid to post that picture."
Authorities also found photos with Mcguinness pointing the gun at himself and at a dog.
At this point, Mcguinness has not been charged with animal cruelty since no animals have been harmed.

Speaker: Matthias Henze, Rice University
Presented in conjunction with the exhibition The Cyrus Cylinder and Ancient Persia: A New Beginning
Cyrus II of Persia, victorious over the Babylonian Empire in 539 BC, is mentioned more than 20 times in the Hebrew Bible. The prophet Isaiah praises the Persian king as "anointed" by the God of Israel, as Cyrus liberated the Israelites (along with other subjugated peoples), and encouraged them to return to their homeland and to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem. In this illustrated talk, Matthias Henze shows why the remarkable legacy of Cyrus the Great remains so strong. Questions? E-mail email@example.com

The Diet
7.30am Someone tells me about a documentary they saw on a community in the slums of Mumbai, 1 million people in 1 square mile, and I am now imagining the poop issues associated with that. Don't need breakfast after that.
Day #1 of The Diet going well so far.
7.50am Son is now eating breakfast in front of me, smells good, can feel my appetite returning, getting hungry.
Day #1 of The Diet, wavering already....
8am Fed the kitten some rancid smelling fish concoction.
Day #1 of The Diet back on track
9.20am Making a cup of tea and I just know I'm going to eat a biscuit with it... trying really hard to resist approaching the biscuit tin. And fail.
Day #1 of The Diet is really hard.
9.21am I have opened the biscuit tin to find nothing but one broken half of a YoYo biscuit, the whole packet I opened only 2 days ago is gone, which reminds me why I wanted to start a diet in the first place.
Day #1 of The Diet, well this should be easy as long as I never have any food in the cupboards....
10.58am Drinking water and wondering if it's too early to drink wine. My conscience tells me it is. The bottle of Houghton's Sauvignon Blanc Semillon in the fridge tells me it isn't. The knowledge that I don't have a packet of potato chips to eat with the wine holds me back. Conscience and lack of munchies in the house wins again.
Day #1 of The Diet and this willpower thing is a piece of cake...oh god, I said cake...
11.01am Searching for the remains of daughter's birthday cake. I'm sure I hid, err, put the last slice at the back of the fridge behind the healthy yoghurts. Nobody would think to look there. I have to move the bottle of wine out of the way to search and am distracted by how comfortable and chilled the bottle feels in my hand....umm, what am I looking for again?
Day #1 of The Diet and the hunger is already affecting my short-term memory.
11.39am A friend calls me to invite me out to lunch at a lovely café with scrumptious food.
Day #1 of The Diet. Diet over. Worst 4 hours ever.

Combined Australia-New Zealand Anzac team to take on England
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- April 25, 2013
EXCLUSIVE: THERE'LL be no 2015 Test at Gallipoli, but Kangaroos and Kiwis stars could join forces to take on Great Britain to commemorate 100 years since troops landed at Anzac Cove.
Turkish authorities blocked Australian and New Zealand rugby league officials' attempt to hold the Test match near the battleground because they feared a logistical nightmare.
New NRL chief operating officer Jim Doyle, the former NZRL boss, said: "We were told very clearly by the Turkish Embassy they cannot cope with what is coming their way with the 100th anniversary of Gallipoli.
"There was no way they would sanction an event that would bring more people there. The area will already be under massive pressure, they said."
But ambitious plans are now afoot with New Zealand and England league officials for a team comprising Australia and New Zealand's biggest names to take on Great Britain's finest in a tribute Test match.
"We are looking at picking an Anzac team to play against a British side. You could have Benji Marshall and Johnathan Thurston in the same team. That would be something special," Doyle said.
Under the original proposal - as revealed by News Ltd two years ago - players from both nations would attend the dawn service at Anzac Cove before playing at the home ground of Turkish football league powerhouses Fenerbahce or Galatasaray.
A curtain-raiser between Australian and New Zealand defence forces has also been slated, with both matches to be played in front of the legions of Australians and Kiwis who make pilgrimage to Turkey for Anzac Day each year.
"We'd also found a stadium that was relatively close to Gallipoli that would hold about 15,000 fans," Doyle said.
"We spoke to people connected to travel companies, and they looked at the stadium and the locations of accommodation. We did a lot of work on it but the Turkish government knocked it on the head. It's a shame."
The news will come as a shock to Kangaroos coach Tim Sheens, who expressed excitement about the match ahead of last week's Test in Canberra.
But Doyle and NRL game development general manager Andrew Hill are now hatching an alternative plan that could see the cream of both countries combining against the best of the British.
"We could have the Kiwi-Kangaroo Test match, but you only get a chance like this in a hundred years to do something different," Doyle said.
Said Hill: "We are in discussions with the New Zealand Rugby League and the English Rugby League."

That would be a massacre... I think that a lot of poms would be going home hurt after the beating that the Anzacs would lay on them as a payback for landing the original Anzacs in the wrong bloody place!

The most memorable moments of SA sport in 2012.
Istanbul - Ryan Lochte completed a six-gold dominance of the world short course championships on Sunday before revealing that a childhood snub by a sporting legend inspires him to give away all of his medals.
The 28-year-old New Yorker clinched his fifth and sixth gold medals of the week in Istanbul when he won the 100m medley and anchored the USA's 4x100m medley relay team to victory.
Lochte also won a silver and bronze for good measure, taking his medal tally for the five-day championship to a staggering eight.
His career short course total now stands at 30 medals, including 20 gold.
The American's prowess in the pool in Turkey was matched by his generosity out of the water after he revealed he gives all of his medals away.
"I remember when I was a kid I was looking up to this superstar, an Olympian. I'm not going to mention his name, but I asked him for an autograph and he said no," said Lochte.
"I was eight years old and I was crushed. He wasn't even concentrating or preparing, he was just in an elevator.
"I went back to the hotel room and my parents asked me, 'So? Did you get the autograph?'. I told him he said no and I remember telling my parents that if one day I ever get there in the same position, I'll do it."

Mammogram in October could mean free manicure
Sterling Regional MedCenter plans breast cancer awareness activity
STERLING, Colo. (Sept. 23, 2013) – During the month of October, anyone who has a routine mammogram at Sterling Regional MedCenter can register for one of 50 free spa certificates for a manicure and pedicure.
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Early detection offers the best protection from breast cancer, and mammograms are the best tool for finding breast cancer early. Sterling Regional MedCenter has digital mammography which captures the image of the breast digitally and allows that image to be seen on a computer within seconds.

People who need financial assistance to cover the cost of the mammogram may be eligible to receive funding from Sterling's Tough Enough to Wear Pink campaign. Please ask about financial assistance when scheduling the appointment.
To schedule an appointment, please call (970) 521-3146.

(OAKLAND) -- Last night, the Oakland Athletics beat the Los Angeles Angels, 5-3, in a big showdown in the American League West between the two best teams in baseball.
Tonight, the A's want to replicate the feat to move back into a first-place tie with the Angels in the division, and Oakland sends Jon Lester (13-8, 2.58) to the mound against Los Angeles' C.J. Wilson (10-8, 4.59) in a lefty duel.
Everyone knows Wilson hates the O.co Coliseum; his vitriol for the mound here is well known. Back in 2011, he let loose on the topic. Since then, well ... the A's have won two AL West division titles, and Wilson is scuffling for the Angels.
Should be a fun time in the 5-1-0.
Los Angeles leads the division by one game with a 76-51 record, which is also the best record in the majors. Oakland had the best record in majors from June 18 until last week; the A's now have a 75-52 record, which includes a 9-11 slump in August. Oakland has posted 14 straight winning months now, but they'll need to recover in the next nine days to make it 15 in a row.
The A's and the Angels have five more games against each other this month.
Jon Lester hasn't really disappointed since the A's picked him up on July 31. He's 3-1 with a 2.91 ERA for Oakland in four starts and 27.2 innings pitched. Meanwhile, C.J. Wilson has his worst ERA ever as a starter in a "full" season, and he's given up 43 runs in his last 58 innings dating back to June.
The A's hope that continues, of course: Oakland has scored the most runs in the majors this season (613), and that doesn't bode well for Wilson. The Angels are third in runs scored (595), but clearly, Lester has the edge tonight on the mound—he's posted 12 consecutive quality starts this summer (7-1, 1.67).
Being at home is good for the A's, too: Oakland has won 36 of its last 49 contests at the Coliseum, and the team has the best home record in the majors overall (42-22). Oh, and Lester is 6-0 with a 0.91 ERA in his last eight starts at home (two in Oakland, six in Boston).
The A's may have the deck stacked in their favor tonight, but you never know what's going to happen.
Game time tonight is 6:05 p.m.

I like the guy, and he beat me fair and square, but sometimes Adolf Hitler and Barack Obama are like two peas in a pod. Both have a strong command over their own party. Both gave rousing speeches that stirred the masses. And both didn't trust even their closest advisors or generals.
Obama is constantly looking over my shoulder. Whenever we're together, he always stands in the back, towering over my shoulder with some kind of strange glint in is his eye.
It's creepy. Maybe he has a cleavage fetish. Or, maybe he's just a control freak. Whatever it is, he won't stop doing it.
I'm a grown woman. I make good decisions. Well, since I married Bill. Even that hasn't turned out so bad. Who would have elected me Senator from New York if not for Bill Clinton?

STEPHENSVILLE, Wis. - St. Patrick's Parish hosted a "community event" on August 10, 2014. Hundreds of thousands of people were outraged after it was discovered that part of the event included illegal animal fighting. (Wisconsin Crimes Against Animals Chapter 951.08)
It turns out animals weren't the only ones being abused and mistreated. Children were encouraged to enter into a mud pit to "tackle" and "wrestle" grown pigs, which was full of contaminated swine urine and feces.
In addition, video footage of the event recently released depicted numerous minors consuming alcohol, while church officials and the Outagamie County Sheriff's Department did nothing but encourage such behavior.
Stephensville may be a small, closed community used to getting away with breaking the law, but the Global Conservation Group and SHARK (SHowing Animals Respect and Kindness) recently partnered together to launch a public campaign and a lawsuit against the church and other parties involved.
The groups launched a new campaign website, where they say the public can become educated on the issue can take action by contacting church and law enforcement officials. The site is www.StPatricksAbuse.com.
The parish released a misleading statement on their website saying "It has been determined that there is no illegality associated with this event. St. Patrick Parish does not condone animal abuse."
A representative from the Global Conservation Group's Division of Legal Affairs said "We are currently in the process of initiating a lawsuit against those responsible for animal cruelty and child abuse and endangerment. It's very unfortunate that not for profit organizations have to remedy this issue in civil court, rather than authorities doing their job and bringing criminal charges. Let me be clear, if the Outagamie County Sheriff's Office refuses to bring charges, they can expect to be served in our lawsuit."
Videos of the illegal activity can be viewed HERE, HERE, and HERE.

For the Love of...Pullups And Chinups
So many people, myself included, started out with lat pulldowns and didn't give a seconds thought to doing pullups. Having been converted from a lat blaster on the pulldowns to a weighted pullup junkie, I can honestly tell you that I will never go back to the pulldown machine even if one day I can only do a single pullup. (At which point I will be revisiting this article)
But why do I have so much love for vertical pulls? Let me count (or maybe list) the reasons:

Deadhang Pullups Versus Whatever
A "question" about so called deadhang pullups has found its way into way too many trainee's minds. We can blame Crossfit once again for muddying the waters.
All "variations" of the pullup are really not changes to the basic exercise, they are just changes to grip. Beyond that you just pull your body up after hanging from a bar. You either start a pullup from a completely stretched "dead" hang, you do a little bit of cheating with your legs, or perhaps leave the elbows flexed a bit. But the mechanics of the exercise is basically the same.

Can't Do One Pullup? Stay Positive

And when someone does speak up…it's questionable at best.

HOUSTON, TX (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Right now, your immune system is hard at work trying to protect you from diseases and infections. At the same time, doctors are hard at work trying to figure out how to increase your immune system's fighting power. But is there anything you can do to boost it yourself?
You feel it coming on, a symphony of sneezes and sniffles. Don't think your safe during the hot season, according to Cardiff University in Great Britain, summer colds can be just as nasty as winter ones. A 2011 report says they're worse because they can last longer and have a better chance of coming back. Right now researchers are busy investigating ways to increase our immune systems to better ward off viruses and diseases. Doctor Jeffrey Actor is studying the immune-boosting molecule that's naturally produced in our bodies.
"Lactoferrin has the ability to balance the immune system in a way that protects you," Jeffrey K. Actor, Ph.D, from UTHealth Science Center in Houston, told Ivanhoe.His plan is to one day add it to tuberculosis and flu vaccines to increase the body's natural response to the infections, and give it to people in pill form before they go in for surgeries. It could protect them from hospital-acquired infections.
"You've allowed them to become more protective almost ahead of time," Dr. Actor said.
Doctor Actor says that will take years. So what can you do right now to give your body a fighting chance? We've all heard vitamin c can help with colds but there are some controversies. Doctor Amitava Dasgupta believes it works. He drinks OJ when he feels a cold coming on, but a comprehensive analysis of 29 vitamin c studies shows it won't protect most people from catching the common cold. The study does show doses of 200 milligrams or more can slightly reduce how long your cold lasts.
"The studies are mixed," Amitava Dasgupta,
Doctor Dasgupta takes 500 milligram capsules of vitamin c two days during a cold but no more than that.
"It can crystalize in your kidney causing very painful stones," Dr. Dasgupta said.
If you don't like orange juice, a little booze might help.
"Just one glass of red wine a day can give you protection against the common cold," Dr. Dasgupta added.
Research shows polyphenols and resveratrol in red wine stop cold and flu viruses from multiplying in your body. As for food, garlic, oats, barley and mushrooms can help keep your immune system healthy. Also, just relax! Stress raises cortisol levels and makes you more prone to illness.
"Whatever you can do to lower your stress is very helpful," Dr. Dasgupta said.
Laughter really could be the best medicine. Research shows it increases the production of anti-bodies and activates protective cells. So drink up, eat up, chill out and laugh it up! They could be the best things to protect you from the common cold.
The federal trade commission doesn't take any company's exaggerated health claims lightly. In 2010, yogurt maker Dannon claimed some of its products could help people ward of colds and flus. It settled out of court for those unproven ads, paying 21-million dollars to 39 states involved in the federal lawsuit. MORE

The Sulzberger's would rather sell to Bashar Assad then to any Conservative.
by Jonathan Berr
Billionaire Donald Trump wants it known that he really, really wants to buy The New York Times (NYT) even though the paper is not for sale — and even if it were, the Sulzberger family, which has owned it for more than a century, probably would never sell it to him in a billion years.
"I have watched Mr. Trump over the years navigate much tougher acquisitions," writes Michael Cohen, a Trump spokesman. "Mr. Trump is so smart and so rich that if he wants it, he will get it. If Mr. Trump elects to purchase the NY Times, commits his time and resources, there is nothing he can't do."
Shares of the company, which also owns the Boston Globe, were barely budging on the news, indicating that Wall Street isn't holding its breath for a deal to happen. A spokesperson for the Times couldn't immediately be reached.
It's unclear exactly how much progress, if any, Trump has made in buying the newspaper company. New York magazine, which broke the story, says "Trump has engaged in more than one meeting to discuss how he might buy the Grey Lady." If Trump does make a credible offer for the paper, the company's board of directors would have a fiduciary duty to consider it.
Trump has had a contentious relationship with the company's flagship newspaper for years. In 2011, he lost a libel case against Tim O'Brien, a former reporter and editor for the paper, who argued in a book that the 56-year-old wasn't really a billionaire. O'Brien, now with The Huffington Post, couldn't immediately be reached. Many at the paper, including columnist Gail Collins, have mocked Trump's claims that President Obama may not have been born in the United States.
If Trump is successful — and that's a big if — he would have a tough time convincing employees and advertisers that he wouldn't use the paper to promote his own political agenda. In fact, some newspapers around the country have been snapped up by wealthy business owners with their own motives. Real-estate developer Doug Manchester, for example, bought the San Diego Union-Tribune in 2011 and turned the paper into what Media Matters for America calls "a corporate shill."
Trump's interest is come at a tough moment for The New York Times, which has recently offered buyouts to newsroom staff to cut costs as it struggles to reinvent itself in the digital age. The deadline for accepting these offers is Thursday, according to a story in the paper. Wall Street isn't expecting the struggles to end anytime soon. Revenue in the December quarter is expected to fall 11%, according to analysts' estimates. Profit is expected to be 31 cents, down from 45 cents a year earlier.
Wall Street sees better times ahead for the venerable publisher, whose digital strategy has gained traction. The average 52-week price target on the stock is $9.58. about 10% higher than where it currently trades. Shares of the publisher have surged more than 13% over the past year.

So what?
Yesterday a student was escorted out my middle school in handcuffs by two burly police officers just as the bell rang noting the end of the day. I believe the fact that I was not the least bit perturbed by this signals I have officially adjusted to life in the ghetto.

Working on different projects I have the choice of selecting different programming languages, as long as the task is done.
I was wondering what the real difference is, in terms of performance, between writing a program in Python, versus doing it in C.
The tasks to be done are pretty varied, e.g. sorting textfiles, disk access, network access, textfile parsing.
Is there really a noticeable difference between sorting a textfile using the same algorithm in C versus Python, for example?
And in your experience, given the power of current CPU's (i7), is it really a noticeable difference (Consider that its a program that doesnt bring the system to its knees).
Thanks! :)
