A meat recall of 8,742,700 pounds of beef and veal was issued because Rancho Feeding Corporation, a company in Petaluma, Calif., processed diseased and unsound animals. The meat recall was announced by the USDA on Feb. 8, 2014, and the recalled beef and veal included the following Rancho Feeding Corporation products:
- "Beef Carcasses" (wholesale and custom sales only)
- 2 per box "Beef (Market) Heads" (retail only)
- 4-gallons per box "Beef Blood" (wholesale only)
- 20-lb. boxes of "Beef Oxtail"
- 30-lb. boxes of "Beef Cheeks"
- 30-lb. boxes of " Beef Lips"
- 30-lb. boxes of "Beef Omasum"
- 30-lb. boxes of "Beef Tripas"
- 30-lb. boxes of "Mountain Oysters"
- 30-lb. boxes of "Sweet Breads"
- 30- and 60-lb. boxes of "Beef Liver"
- 30- and 60-lb. boxes of "Beef Tripe"
- 30- and 60-lb. boxes of "Beef Tongue"
- 30- and 60-lb. boxes of "Veal Cuts"
- 40-lb. boxes of "Veal Bones"
- 50-lb. boxes of "Beef Feet"
- 50-lb. boxes of "Beef Hearts"
- 60-lb. boxes of "Veal Trim"
According to the USDA, the above products are unfit for human consumption.
To find out if someone bought any of the recalled meat products, there is an establishment number inside the USDA mark of inspection saying "EST.527." Each one of the boxes has the case code number ending with a "3" or "4."
The USDA informs that the affected products were produced by the Rancho Feeding Corporation in Petaluma between Jan. 1, 2013, to Jan. 7, 2014, and shipped to distribution centers and retail establishments in California, Florida, Illinois and Texas.
On Saturday, federal officials said that the above products had to be recalled because the company processed diseased and unhealthy animals without a full federal inspection.
The meat recall of 8,742,700 pounds of beef and veal has been classified a Class I recall, meaning that "this is a health hazard situation where there is a reasonable probability that the use of the product will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death."

My mother's name is Kathryn and my brother has a daughter with that middle name.Ā If I were to become pregnant with another girl, it's a name that I would want to use in the middle name spot.Ā I have an idea for a name and feel like that would fit perfectly in the middle name spot and I am very close to my mother as well.Ā I could have used it previously for my first 2 daughters, but it didn't fit with their first names.Ā I just wanted to get thoughts on reusing a family name that a sibling has already used.Ā Thanks!
Would you use a family name that your sibling has already used for their child?
Absolutely.┬Ā I think the main issues with re-using names within a family┬Āare that it's confusing and that it diminishes the "specialness" of the name.┬Ā Neither applies in this case: it's the middle name for both, and the name is special because of the person being honored rather than because it's unique.
Charlie and my sister's youngest boy share my dad's name as their middle name, and it's not an issue at all, even for a nameaholic like me.┬Ā I think my dad deserves all the honor he can get.┬Ā
Loving my boys Nat (10/04) and Charlie (5/07)
Definitely use it if that's what makes you happy. ┬ĀMy cousin used my dad's first name as his son's middle name. ┬ĀI've never actually heard them say it was in honor of my dad, but either way, I used my dad's name for MY son's middle name, too. ┬ĀMy dad is a wonderful man, and deserves to be honored ten-fold. ┬Ā: )
Madly in love with Max -- married 6.14.08
Mama to Andrew 2.13.11
and Caroline 8.2.12
Thanks for the input everyone. ┬Ā I talked to my mother today and she liked my idea of using her name as a middle name.┬Ā
Yes! I'd just use it differently. My mom and her brother both gave their daughters the name Joy, but my uncle gave it to his daughter as her first name and my mom to her daughter as her middle name.
Absolutely!!!!! My third child's middle name is Grace after my sis and grandma. My sis is now pregnant and if she has a girl her middle name will be Grace. Especially it being a family name, what a beautiful connection they both will have!!!

Halle Berry on Paparazzi Blowup: "I'm Ferocious" to Protect Daughter Nahla
Halle Berry admits she acted a bit inappropriately when she blasted paparazzi last week for gathering outside daughter Nahla's school, but she won't apologize for protecting her child.
"I hate that I lost my cool, but you know, I'm human. That happens and when it comes to my daughter — I'm ferocious," she tells "Extra" co-host Mario Lopez.
RELATED – Miley Cyrus: I Might Move Back to Nashville to Escape "D-Bag Paparazzi"
Berry went on to explain that she's been "struggling for years" when it comes to keeping her little girl safe from the often invasive — and sometimes dangerous — photographers.
"There are no laws here that protect our children and as a mom, coming to the school… not only my child, but all the children that are there. It's just wrong, wrong, wrong," she says.

"You know, I think I'm going call [President] Obama and say 'look, can you help us?'" she tells Lopez, adding, "I know this seems like a little issue right now, but it's a big issue in our lives and our lives at the school and our children being protected."

Why it doesn't justify a market collapse
Being poor is expensive
Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
Commodities are volatile and complicated, but their
diversifying properties have long been noted by investors. ETFs
are available now that track every major commodity in the spot
and derivatives marketplace. But the new popularity of
commodities ETFs has also caused problems.
Commodity ETFs are designed to provide direct exposure to
precious metals, energy, meats, grains, and foods. Companies
which produce them, such as oil firms, are found in industry
sector ETFs, so investors should be aware of double exposure.
Commodity ETFs treat the objective of exposure in different ways.
Most commodity ETFs own short-term futures contracts which they
roll over monthly. Others hold materials directly or hold
longer-term futures.
It has long been shown that commodities reduce asset
correlation. The chart below compares the year-to-date
performance of the benchmark Standard and Poor Depositary
Receipts (NYSEArca:SPY) with two commodities ETFs: United States
Oil (NYSEArca:USO), which tracks the price of crude, and
PowerShares DB Agriculture (NYSEArca:DBA), which offers investors
exposure to wheat, corn, soybeans, and sugar.
How does this help an equities portfolio? Through
diversification. Stocks and bonds tend to have a relatively high
correlation of 0.75 or above, whereas commodities tend to be more
poorly coordinated with stocks, often with correlations as low as
0.4. Adding commodities to a portfolio in modest amounts lowers
its risk beta, a measure of volatility.
Commodities are also a great hedge against inflation and
especially against the devaluation of the dollar. If more dollars
are printed or if the dollar drops against other currencies,
commodities ETFs will almost certainly be repriced higher in
dollar terms.
But commodities carry distinct risks. They are as volatile as
ever. Energy is typically the most volatile, ranging from 30-50%.
Industrial metals are next. They have a volatility of 20-30%.
Agricultural products are typically below 20%. Precious metals
are the least volatile of the commodity suite. Commodity pricing
is sensitive to everything from world export markets and trade
rules, to weather, to fear of contracting swine flu. (This
recently has helped to send pork bellies to multi-year lows,
despite lack of evidence linking eating port to catching the
In addition to the many risks associate with owning
commodities, commodities ETFs face unique problems of their own
doing. Some commodities ETFs have become so big they are pushing
up prices beyond what natural demand would suggest, and some have
become easy targets for traders. If a commodities ETF owns large
amounts of the short-term futures contract in an attempt to mimic
spot pricing, it will be forced to roll them over frequently at
predictable intervals (or sell expiring contracts and buy new
ones). Traders can easily guess when these sales and purchases
are made (or read the prospectus which may dictate trading times)
and simply jump in front, making some easy money off ETF
USO is arguably the most notable example of an ETF forced to
change trading strategies. It owned front-month futures contracts
which it turned over on a published day every month. Because
investors found USO so convenient, USO's holdings bloomed to over
20% of the front month futures contracts for West Texas
Intermediate. As the fund grew in size, traders were able to
front-run the USO roll-over in large volumes. In fact, some
traders were openly bragging that making money off the fund was
like stealing candy from a baby. To make matters worse for
investors, during an extraordinary contango in the beginning of
2009, where contracts for later months were much more expensive
than the front month, USO paid a premium each time it rolled over
its position. USO returns as a result fell far behind spot
One of the golden rules of trading is to disguise the timing
and size of trades. USO did neither. It now staggers the dates of
its purchases and sales, but its position is still public and it
still owns only front month contracts that are rolled over each
More recently, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission
has begun regulating position size to curb agricultural commodity
speculation. New position limits makes it tough for fund managers
to track the relevant index. Barclays has responded by suspending
the creation and redemption process of its popular PowerShares DB
Commodity Index Tracking Fund (NYSEArca:DBC). Investors face
tracking error and possible liquidity problems.
There are some commodities ETFs which do not use exclusively
front-month futures, which can help in a situation of contango
(though this would be a disadvantage in a market in
backwardation). United States 12-month Oil (NYSEArca:USL) is one
example. The Agriculture ETF DBA mentioned above does not
restrict its holdings to the front month, though it has plenty of
front month exposure, and is very likely impacted by the new CFTC
rules. A few ETNs diversify into various kinds of arrangements,
including private deals done off market, where they can obtain
large amounts of exposure without moving the market.
Perhaps the ideal arrangement is owning the actual material
itself, which works with a dense and non-perishable material. The
largest commodity ETF of all, streetTRACKS GoldShares
(NYSEArca:GLD), holds actual metal stored in a vault in London
(and audited occasionally). But beware of taxes. GLD is taxed at
a collectible rate of 28% (as opposed to a maximum of 22% on most
futures contracts).

Varsity: Hurdlers take it one step at a time
When people talk about overcoming some big or small challenge in their lives, they often use the phrase "clearing a hurdle" as their metaphor.
For actual hurdlers, though, like the kind who compete in District 10 track and field meets, the phrase isn't a figurative reference. The hurdles are an actual presence.
And if any of them aren't cleared, or cleared properly, the results can be downright painful.
Just ask Abbie Swartzbaugh.
"It was on a cinder track," the Youngsville student said when asked about her worst hurdles spill. "I just slid, and (the pain) went all the way up my leg. It hurt really bad."
Or, Laken Shields. The Franklin senior recounted some of the scuffs and scrapes she's suffered to her knees, ankles and shoulders.
"And I've got the scars to prove it," she said.
Or, even Greg Miaczynski. Yes, the same Greg Miaczynski who's currently favored to sweep the 110- and 300-meter hurdles when the district's 10 Class AAA meet takes place Wednesday at Harbor Creek's Paul J. Weitz Stadium.
The Central Tech senior's first varsity spill in the hurdles was in his very first race.
On his very first hurdle.
"I guess I hadn't figured it out yet," Miaczynski said with a laugh.
Such a statement is likely more prophetic than funny to Dave Woodard, Miaczynski's hurdles coach with the Falcons.
"It's a very tough event to learn," Woodard said. "With the (100- or 110-meter) hurdles, it's about speed, technique, explosiveness and strength. It's a perfection race, with three steps (between them) all the way through.
"With the 300," he said, "it's muscular endurance, speed, steps and technique. Also, a new thing in the 300 is hurdling with both legs. You want to know how to hurdle with the left and right leg as the lead leg."
If Woodard sounds like he knows what he's talking about, it's because he does. The 1984 Tech Memorial graduate competed in the hurdles for coach Fred Trott, whose 1978 Centaurs won the PIAA team title.
Two decades later, Woodard was Tom Dance's primary coach when the Cathedral Prep great won the 2003 and 2004 PIAA AAA gold medals in the 110 hurdles.
Woodard said he looks for speed, strength and, especially now, height, when it comes to sizing up potential hurdlers. The same hurdler assessments go for Titusville track coach Brent Henderson, along with another trait the eye won't catch: temperament.
"Some kids are just naturally fearless," Henderson said, "and that's the case with hurdlers. They just have the attitude that if I fall down, I'm going to get back up. Every hurdler has bitten the dust at some point, but to the (committed) ones, it's no big deal."
Harbor Creek junior Sophie Mazza is the kind of hurdler that Henderson has in mind.
As a freshman, Mazza said she badly stumbled during her 100 hurdles qualifying race at the district's AA meet. She somehow still made her way into the finals, but as the 16th and final seed.
The result? Mazza placed second overall and qualified for states. Her silver-medal time of 16.04 seconds was only .03 behind Slippery Rock gold medalist Morgan Siebka.
"That's still a pretty big deal to me," Mazza said. "I was mad, and I ran that way."
Mazza said that, unlike many hurdlers, her biggest problem is that she tends to clear hurdles too high rather than too low and grazing them with their trail leg. Clearing hurdles too high also can add slivers of seconds that tend to fatten one's time.
As for clipping hurdles, several hurdlers who were interviewed said that sometimes they're not even conscious of doing that. Harbor Creek coach Marty Dale offered a prime example of that while recently reviewing video from one of Jacob Pound's races.
"I said something like, 'Ooh, you really clipped that last hurdle,' " Dale said. "Jacob said, 'Coach, I don't even remember hitting that last one.' "
Pound said such bursts of amnesia are probably for the better in those moments. Being conscious of such errors would only make matters worse for the Huskies senior.
"It used to be once I'd clipped one, I'd think, 'Oh, crap!' and then I'd go faster," he said. "But that's when you start thinking about not hitting them."
Unlike Pound, Swartzbaugh is very cognizant when she's consistently clipping hurdles.
"That does kind of affect where you land," she said. "If you hit (the hurdle) with your knee, you will feel it a lot more because it bruises easier."
What advice would some of the district's current hurdlers give to help their successors lessen the chances of that happening
Shields cited the event's mantra.
"Make sure your trail leg does not drag," she said.
Shields added that her leg flexibility is partially augmented by competing in the long and triple jumps for Franklin. Even Miaczynski said he'll occasionally race in the 200 dash and with Central Tech's 1,600 relay team just to stay in shape.
Mazza, like a successful hurdle attempt, was clear and succinct in her advice.
"Do not get frustrated," she said, "because it doesn't make (the situation) any better."
Girard's Austin Bowers is only a sophomore, but he already has his three keys to succeeding in hurdles.
"You have to put in a lot of work in practice," he said. "You have to put in a lot of time in the weight room. And you have to like both events."
Finally, there was age-old advice from one of Bowers' female track teammates.
"Stay focused," the YellowJackets' Dacey Wohlford said, "and take it one hurdle at a time."
Wohlford laughed at how clich�d her answered was.
"But it's true, though," she said.

Curious to see that while Fiat has said its Alfa Romeo brand is not for sale, especially not to Volkswagen, the German group continues its acquisition of other Italian 'assets' all the same. The most recent move to Volkswagen from Fiat comes in the form of personnel, with Giovanni Perosino, head of marketing and communications at Fiat Group, moving to the same role at VW.
The Italians are describing the move from the 46-year-old as another example of the drain of human resources as Volkswagen taps into the Italian talent pool. Perosino will join compatriots Luca De Meo, Volkswagen marketing director, and Walter de Silva, head of design at VW.
How much as consumers we will see their influence filter through, apart from the more obvious touch of the design department, we'll be seeing in the future but it's probably not too far-fetched to say that Volkswagen is slowly becoming more Italianised. Will we see an eventual acquisition of Alfa Romeo…?

College Hockey:Johnson named new assistant at Nebraska-Omaha
Nebraska-Omaha announced Tuesday that Steve Johnson has been named the team's new assistant coach, replacing Mike Hastings, who left UNO to take the head coach position at Minnesota State.
"I'm very pleased to have a coach of Steve's caliber fill the void left by Mike Hastings' departure," said Nebraska-Omaha coach Dean Blais in a news release. "Steve has the ability to be a great recruiter for us and his on-ice skills as a coach are very strong as shown by his work in both the United States Hockey League and at the college level. His knowledge and experience will make our team stronger."
Johnson spent the last two seasons as an assistant coach at St. Cloud State. Prior to that, he succeeded Blais as the head coach of the Fargo Force of the USHL where he coached for one season, leading the Force to the 2010 Clark Cup finals.

Kylie Jenner may be growing up in front of the camera, but it sounds like she is growing a little tired of getting slammed in the press. She hasn't really been known in the press for her active love life, but she has been spotted hanging out with several celebrities, including Jaden Smith. Her sister, on the other hand, has been spotted with "One Direction" star, Harry Styles. But is there a plan behind it? According to a new Wetpaint Entertainment report published on Jan. 12, Kylie Jenner is now denying that she is hanging out with famous people to boost her own image.
Yesterday, reports surfaced that Kylie was only hanging out with these stars to boost her own image. "The fact that some people actually believe I would waste my time dating someone as a publicity stunt," Kylie revealed on Twitter after reading the initial report. She is responding to a report that claims that her boyfriend must be famous. Apparently, she can't settle for a person who isn't famous.
"[Kendall and Kylie's boyfriends] need to be famous and in the current limelight," says the insider. "They must be a big deal to get the sisters the media they thrive on, and that is why Harry Styles was a set up at first. Its all about the Kardashian brand, and Kendall and Kylie have bought into it and use relationships as career builders more than anything else. This was one major issue when it came to Kris and Bruce's marriage — Bruce wanted them to have a more normal life but he is outnumbered, and they want to be like Kim and will do anything Kris says to make it happen. Its like they are robots."
What do you think of her tweet? Do you think she could ever date someone who isn't famous?

The No. 9/10 UCLA men's soccer team rallied with a second-half goal by senior defender Kiel McClung to earn a 1-1 tie at Stanford on Sunday afternoon.
Stanford struck first in the game just seconds before halftime, when Kyle Hency struck a low shot past UCLA freshman goalkeeper Brian Perk.
The Bruins dominated play in the second half, outshooting Stanford, 7-3, and holding a 7-2 corner kick advantage. UCLA tied up the score at 77:52 on McClung's first goal of the year. Mike Zaher assisted on the play.
Both defenses held in the overtime period, with just one shot on goal, a Michael Alexander shot that was saved by Perk with less than three minutes to play. Perk made three saves on the day.
The Bruins' record moves to 4-3-2, 0-1-1 in the Pac-10. Stanford moves to 3-4-3, 1-0-1 in the Pac-10. UCLA will next host fourth-ranked Washington on Friday, Sept. 29 at 8 pm.

On Tuesday, May 6, State Senate 23 candidate Diane B. Evans visited the city of Wrightsville and talked to the Johnson County Retired Educators Association.
Wrightsville is Johnson's largest city and has an African-American population of approximately sixty percent, but conservative candidates and incumbents have been successful in previous election cycles.
Evans hopes to change that trend with her candidacy.
In the Georgia General Assembly, Republicans introduced and passed legislation this past year which will have a impact on public schools and public places in general.
One example is House Bill 60, or the Safe Carry Protection Act of 2014 -- which opponents have nicknamed the "guns everywhere bill" -- specifies where Georgia residents can carry weapons. Included are provisions that allow residents who have concealed carry permits to take guns into some bars, churches, school zones, government buildings and certain parts of airports.
Even though the progressive Democrat doesn't have an opponent for the May 20 primary election, she is touring her eleven county state Senate district in an effort to hear from her constituents on various issues.
Evans will face incumbent Republican Jesse Stone in November.
Evans encouraged people in the audience from the Retired Educators Association about the importance of voting along with having someone in the General Assembly who truly supports public education.
Republicans such as incumbent Jesse Stone has supported legislation over the past few years of cutting public education funding and voting to reduce the number of early voting days in Georgia.
Evans is one of the few rural Democrats in Georgia who is challenging Republican incumbents in 2014.
Over the past decade, Senate Republicans have gained control of the General Assembly, but recent defections by Democrats over the past few years have made it easier for conservatives to gain a supermajority.
Republicans currently hold 39 of the 56 seats and have a supermajority in the state Senate for the first time since Reconstruction.
Columbia and Richmond are the largest population centers in the district, State Senate 23 encompasses eleven counties and cities such as Wrightsville, Thomson, Wrens, Wadley, Louisville, Warrenton, Slyvania, Millen and Waynesboro.

Secrets of Success
Friday, April 01, 2011
So I was reading on one of my sparkfriend's pages and they were talking about hiding. It made me stop and think...is that what I've been doing all this time?? It clicked...no wonder the second people have started to notice my weight loss I stop trying. That always confused me...I get it now...I WAS HIDING! I guess it is real comfortable being the funny fat friend. Guess what? There is something great happening to me know! I don't wanna be that girl anymore. I feel like I want to be free. I want to break out of this body that is trying to hold me back. I don't want to hide anymore! I never wrote blogs because then people might get to know me; know how I feel and what I think; know that not only is my body imperfect but I am a person am also imperfect. I'm done with that...My first step in breakng free is my very first blog. Here it is; me telling exactly how imperfect I am and not feeling guilty or bad about it! Here are the note's that I've kept to my-self since starting my fitness journey a couple weeks ago
3/8/11 Walked outside today to work and it felt GREAT! I wasn't exhausted I had plenty of energy and I even got to work early!! :)
Walked to the bank and then to the restaraunt to pick up lunch for the ladies in the office :) I'm on a roll today!!!
Walked home from work to complete my exercise for the day! HOLY HILL!!! hahaha wow that hill to get home was a challenge, but I am excited to see how it gets easier for me as time goes by!
3/9/11 Whew! My legs are feeling it today! It's been a long time since I moved this much! :) its a good thing though. The walk to work is enjoyable time alone with the Lord! :)
Walked to Subway for lunch. It's so much closer than I thought! keep going out and things seem so much more attainable!
Well...that hill is daunting...however, I will conquer that hill...i will enjoy going up that hill and I will reach the top without gasping for breath :) Today it was a tiny bit easier than yesterday...I got this!
3/10/11 Sad news...the weather man said rain so I couldn't walk to work today...good news I exercised before work! Only 15 min. and I burned almost 200 cal.! Wowzers!! Love my Leslie Sansone...the even sadder news is it never rained :( oh, well! I don't have the opportunity to take on the hill today but I have still gotten up and gotten moving. YAY! p.s. did you know I have muscles under those big blogs of fat known as butt cheeks? just saying...i feel them they're there
sooo...Fasting day so no lunch but still no rain so I went on a nice walk for my lunch break...Even got a new plate for free...it's amazing the things you find on the street...lots of little mom and pop shops LOVE THIS NEW ME!!
3/11/11 Stupid rain ruined my walk...oh well...Mrs. Sansone worked it ou for me 2 mile walk this morning before work woot wooot!
3/18/11 Finally a walk to work...I almost let myself drive again but I'm SO glad I walked! It's a beautiful day just me and my mp3 praising all the way to work!
Loved the walk home just wish I would've had my sneakers :) I love the breeze...hmmm maybe another one with the kids this evening :)
No walk outside but I'm super excited that Sparking encouraged me to get up and move :) Love my Leslie we walked away the pounds tonight! over 400 cal. burned! I was feeling guilty about some girl scout cookies earlier but I feel better now...at least i have made the effort to counter act the useless calories from a moment of weakness. NO MORE WEAK only STRONG! Yeeehaw!
3/19/11 Another beautiful day. spring is near. This weather is perfect for walking! The ocean breeze is enough to keep me cool while the sun makes it warm enough to wear one layer :) YAY for spring! It was a very peaceful walk to work this morning. I think I'm gonna amp it up for the walk home!
3/22/11 I didn't feel like exercising today but by the grace of God I made my-self do the first walking video (thinking about the 3500 cal. Challenge). I did it and felt good...Took a shower and decided I would also walk to work. The walk started off slow but thanks to some great prayer time with incredibly motivating praise and worship I was soon power walking and even started raising my arms to praise! Hahaha I forgot for a minute I was walking on the street! It felt great by far one of the best walks yet!
I got offered a ride home from work today...BUT I turned it down! Thank God I did! That hill is tuff but I did it!! and looking at the fitness tracker makes me feel like I accomplished something!
3/23/11 whooohooo!!! I woke up this morning and did two miles of interval training with my friend Leslie :D Then Walked to work :) YAY! This 3500 cal. challenge has motivated me!!
3/24/11 Fooey! Snow ruined my morning walk but thats okay. Still hung out with my buddy Leslie. I'm thinking about trying a new work out also but I chicken out every time! Oh...well at least I'm moving :D
3/28/11 No morning walk today although it would have been a good day to walk. I was running late and WATP burns more calories than the walk to work so it wins by default :D It's all about the numbers today baby!
3/29/11 okay so...Cardio kickboxing made me realize how uncoordinated I am... oh well i stuck it out...didn't follow exactly but I know I was moving the whole time and I didnt quit and I REALLY WANTED TO! YAY for not being a quitter! Hahaha I think I'll be back to my friend Leslie later today :D
3/30/11 Rough morning...I just wanted to sleep and felt like ...yuck...so instead of my usual work out I read the Word :D God always makes me feel better :-) Now I will be strong enough to work hard when I get out of work. YAY for motivation!
so my weight loss journey started when I was born...hahaha J/k started on 3/7/11 when I went to the doctor and she told me in the meanest way that I needed to do an hour of exercise everyday and if I wanted to get down to around 200 lbs. which is reasonable not ideal but reasonable, then I would need to step it up to three hours a day three times a week plus the one hour on the other days. Now I know that's crazy talk but it got me motivated. I was having issues with my vision being blurred and my blood preassure was a little high which is probably what caused the blur in vision. So I needed a swift kick in the butt. When I started to spark I entered the weight of 252 lbs. which is what the dr. scale said. I should have entered 255 lbs. which is what my scale at home said; but to be honest I liked the smaller number. Well I worked out for two weeks and GAINED A POUND! I went to 256. I was annoyed but I realized that I could have just gained some muscle so I kept on chuggin. Well I stepped on the scale yesterday and I finally LOST THREE POUNDS! Now I am going to be completely honest with ya'll and let you know that I haven't been eating perfectly but I have been making small changes for the better. I feel better. I dress better. I stand taller. I strive to eat better because i feel beter. The best part is there is NO MORE GUILT! So that's it. me exposed. me FREE.
The scripture I stand on is "Whom the son sets free is FREE INDEED!"

You are not the fat friend you are the silly friend. You are so silly that while I was reading this I thought of you saying it and almost peed on myself so thanks for the minor work embarrassment. Anywho or diddly keep up the good work.... there's no need to hide we all see you and we all want to know your name... i think that's a song. maybe not.

It's amazing how good it feels to have company on this journey to lose weight. I also thought I should try to solve it in the privacy of my own self and one day ta-da! I'd be this fantastic new me with a nice new shell. And until then, lay low so no one will notice me. Isn't this great? I love that I can relate to your post and feel comfort that others face the same type of struggles. Thanks for sharing!
It looks like you had a great month!
I know what you mean about hills-- still out of breath, but I have hopes some day (soon please!!) it'll get easier.

President Obama Meets With Pitt, Jolie
Just before heading off to Chicago to raise money for his re-election campaign, President Barack Obama met Wednesday at the White House with movie stars Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
The two were in town for Tuesday's screening of Ms. Jolie's directorial debut movie, a harrowing portrayal of the Bosnian conflict called "In the Land of Blood and Honey."
Mr. Obama met with them to discuss Ms. Jolie's work to help prevent such mass atrocities and to combat violence against women, said White House spokeswoman Jamie Smith.
Ms. Jolie may have spared her criticism of the president when meeting him. On Tuesday, she told The Daily Caller she has a bit of a mixed view of the president's success.

Pope Benedict will see out his life in prayer, "hidden from the world," he said on Thursday in his first personal comment on his plans since he announced his retirement.
His remarks, in a voice that was hoarse at times, followed Monday's resignation notice which spoke of "a life dedicated to prayer"; the Vatican has said the 85-year-old German will live within its walls. His seclusion may allay concern that the first living former pope in centuries might trouble Church unity.
After Feb. 28 Benedict will first go to the papal summer retreat at Castel Gandolfo, south of Rome, and then move permanently into the four-storey Mater Ecclesiae convent, in the gardens behind St. Peter's Basilica.

Easyalign: Problem in Step 2 when language is English
fuchsi_r <fuchsi_r@...>
Dear all, I am looking for a way of doing forced alignment in Praat with English recordings. I came across Jean-Philippe Goldman's Easyalign ( http://latlcui.unige.ch/phonetique/ ), which seems to be just what I was looking for. Here's the thing: When I choose "fra" as language in Step 2 (Phonetisation), everything works fine. But I get an error when choosing "en". The message reads "Error reading file ...\Praat\plugin_easyalign\tmp\tout.txt" I could not find any remark addressing this problem on Easyalign's website, or in this usergroup or anywhere else. BTW, I am using the most recent versions of Praat and Easyalign. Has anybody come across this problem before or can point me towards ways of resolving this? Thanks, Robert ------------------------------------ To Post a message, send it to: praat-users@... To Unsubscribe, send a blank message to: praat-users-unsubscribe@...

I'm Still Here!
No, not that idiot. I am talking about your pal, Darth Groovy, Dapper Zabrak, naughty person, The Groovinator, Grooves...pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name!
Anyways I wanted to update you all what has been going on, because you deserve to know. Only a few people out there like Jae Onasi, acdcfanbill, and Lynk Former have been keeping my secrets quiet.
Lucasforums is my home away from home, and my family so you deserve to know.
In the last year, I left GameStop. Got rid of most of my worldly possessions such as my overgrown CD collection, my overgrown Star Wars collection, my car, my condo, and almost all of my furniture. Had a heart attack. Yeah seriously had a heart attack and did not know until my doctor told me so. Went to get a hernia fixed, and found out I need a quadruple bypass....icky I know. I quit smoking, quit drinking, and joined Weight Watchers! I am currently on disability, due to a couple of conditions that I cannot begin to pronounce, and waiting on a few surgeries. I am a pretty tough guy, but it is still scary stuff because you never think this crap will happen to you. I know I am an old fart, but to quote Al Jourgensen of Ministry: "I'm not dead yet!"
Starting September 11, I go in for a sleep study so that will hopefully fix my sleep apnea. I personally believe, as well as some of my doctors, that the sleep apnea caused a lot of this crap I am currently going through! Then I plan to get the bypass after I get stronger. Then get this damn hernia fixed. Once all of that gets fixed, I am going back to school to pursue my second passion which is cooking. I have a culinary arts program all in place, and should finish up in just two semesters. I have a buddy who is going to get me a job as a cook on a cruise ship, so I will be leaving Joliet, and moving to Florida. I'm also hoping to do some live shows for my new album with my buddy and producer Denny from the band Coalmind.
In the meantime, I have played Borderlands 2 to death. I am currently playing Warhammer Dawn of War 2 on the PC., and Payday 2 on PS3. I have a PS4 on reserve, as well as Killzone, Battlefield 4, and Call of Duty Ghosts on reserve for that system. I have been working very hard on a solo music album which is being produced by a childhood friend of mine. It's basically a throwback to old 80's synth pop, and its going to kick ass! Should be on iTunes in the coming months. I also been doing some volunteer work for my favorite band Ministry such as setting up fan pages and forums and what not. Ministry will be putting out there last and final album this month.
Due to my failing health, I been trying to take it easy, and keep busy. I got a pretty decent laptop for Christmas in 2012, but by July, for some reason unknown the VGA chip went bad, and the screen wiped out. I have tried to fix this several times....with no success. Currently my laptop is plugged into my HDTV via HDMI cable. At least that way I can still play Warhammer!
Well sorry for keeping all this stuff from you guys, but I didn't want to get you worried for no reason, and I really didn't want to post a bunch of doom and gloom in a somewhat dead swamp....not at least until I had some form of good news.
So what have the rest of you knuckleheads been up to?
Miss ya all,

Today millions of cards will be given and received in the name of love and friendship. No other day, except Christmas and Mother's Day, rivals the sheer volume of exchange. While it may seem this practice was started by modern day gift companies seeking to make a buck, Valentine's Day cards actually have an interesting past.
The earliest recording of the practice of observing Valentine's Day was in the mid-1600s. One Samuel Pepys mentioned it in his diaries. At that time elaborate gift exchanges took place among the wealthy. However, it wasn't until the 1700s that people began sending notes and letters to loved ones. In the 1820s, the use of paper made especially for Valentine greetings began in the United Kingdom. And in the 1840s commercially produced Valentine cards grew in popularity. According to About.com, "The cards were flat paper sheets, often printed with colored illustrations and embossed borders. The sheets, when folded and sealed with wax, could be mailed."
Legend has it that a woman in Massachusetts, Esther A. Howland, received one of those English Valentines. Esther then began making Valentine cards which she sold in her father's stationery store. When the business grew, she hired her friends to help make cards. Esther's efforts are credited as the birth of America's Valentine card industry. Her hometown of Worcester, Massachusetts became the center of American Valentine card production.
This method of expressing love was not always well received. In the mid-1850s an editorial was published in the New York Times criticizing the practice. It stated, "Our beaux and belles are satisfied with a few miserable lines, neatly written upon fine paper, or else they purchase a printed Valentine with verses ready made, some of which are costly, and many of which are cheap and indecent. In any case, whether decent or indecent, they only please the silly and give the vicious an opportunity to develop their propensities, and place them, anonymously, before the comparatively virtuous. The custom with us has no useful feature, and the sooner it is abolished the better."
This negative commentary did not halt the popularity of Valentine cards, which saw a boom following the Civil War. In 1867 the New York Times interviewed the Superintendent of the Post Office, Mr. Hallett, about statistics on Valentine cards sent in 1862. In New York City alone 21,260 Valentines were received for delivery. In 1865, as the Civil War ended, New Yorkers sent more than 66,000 cards.
In 1867 some New Yorkers paid high prices for Valentines, as much as $100. By 1870 Valentines were reasonably priced. These cheaper cards targeted a wider audience. The late 1800s experienced a wane in sending Valentine cards, however, by the 1920s it picked up again.
Thus it appears that giving Valentine cards is a tradition which is here to stay. This article is a Valentine card wishing everyone love and happiness.

Urban ministry and urban contexts are often treated like a zoo—people come, visit for a short time, take pictures of animals in their cages, leave, and do a show and tell with some of their friends back home. For many people that's where it ends.

The following series has had me held up for the past one week:
$$ \sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{(2m)_n m^n}{(2m+1/2)_n n!}A^{3n/2} t^n K_{2m+n-1/2}(2\sqrt{A}t)~~~~ A>0, ~t>0, ~m\geq1/2 $$
where $K_{2m+n-1/2}( \cdot )$ is the Modified Bessel Function of the 2nd kind. I have looked into a number of handbooks on special functions, but to no avail.
Any ideas on how to obtain the sum?

Rainforests and carbon-rich peatlands in Indonesia are being destroyed at such a rate that Indonesia is now the world's third largest emitter of greenhouse gases, after the US and China. The habitats of endangered species like the orang-utan and Sumatran tiger are disappearing. The homes and livelihoods of indigenous communities are being destroyed.
Greenpeace is campaigning to end the destruction of Indonesia's rainforests and carbon-rich peatlands. Indonesia and Norway now have a chance to change history and to end the destruction of Indonesia's rainforests and carbon-rich peatlands.

Nov. 19, 2009
NEW YORK (AP) -- Former Washington Husky and San Francisco Giants ace Tim Lincecum won the NL Cy Young Award on Thursday for the second straight year, emerging from one of the tightest votes in the history of the honor to become the first repeat winner since Randy Johnson.
The wiry right-hander, nicknamed "The Freak" for his giant stride, needed only 15 victories to earn the award - the fewest for a Cy Young starter over a non-shortened season.
Lincecum led the NL with 261 strikeouts and tied for the league lead with four complete games and two shutouts.
A product of Liberty High in Renton, Lincecum spent the 2004 through 2006 seasons with the Huskies and won the Golden Spikes Award as the nation's top amateur baseball player in 2006.
He is just just the fourth National Leaguer to win the Cy Young in consecutive seasons. Sandy Koufax won it in 1965 and 1966 and both Randy Johnson (1999-2002) and Greg Maddux (1992-95) won four straight. In the AL, Pedro Martinez, Jim Palmer, Denny McLain and Rogers Clemens have each won two straight, with Clemens having won two in a row on two separate occasions.
The Cy Young Award is the biggest single-season honor ever given to a former Husky in one of the big three professional sports.
Only 10 points separated the top three vote-getters. Chris Carpenter was second and St. Louis teammate Adam Wainwright finished third despite getting the most first-place votes.
The 2009 honors for Lincecum and Kansas City Royals ace Zack Greinke reflect a recent shift in how voters pick baseball's best pitchers. Wins, losses and ERA used to determine the Cy Young Award winner - now it's detailed statistics such as WHIP, FIP and BABIP.
Greinke equaled the previous low of 16 wins for a non-shortened season when he won the AL award on Tuesday.
"It's turned into a game of complete numbers and statistics and what people do with that," Lincecum said. "So I mean just to put more options in the voters' heads about what's supposed to be more important, which takes priority over another, that's all based on opinion."
Lincecum received 11 first-place votes, 12 seconds and nine thirds for 100 points in balloting released by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. Carpenter had nine firsts, 14 seconds and seven thirds to take second with 94.
Wainwright, who led the NL with 19 wins and 233 innings, had 12 first-place votes, five seconds and 15 thirds for 90 points. Trevor Hoffman, who finished behind Tom Glavine in 1998, is the only other player to get the most firsts and not win the award.
"The guys I was going up against, Wainwright and Carpenter, had tremendous seasons," the 25-year-old Lincecum said. "It was a lucky one for me. I'll take them as I come I guess."
Two voters, Will Carroll of Baseball Prospectus and Keith Law of ESPN.com, did not include Carpenter on their ballots. Carroll had Wainwright in the top spot, Lincecum second and Arizona's Dan Haren third. Law voted for Lincecum, Atlanta's Javier Vazquez and Wainwright in third. Those were the only votes in any position for Haren and Vazquez.
The six-point gap between Lincecum and Carpenter is tied for the third-closest in the NL since the ballot expanded to three pitchers in 1970. The 10-point margin from first to third is the second-closest for the NL ballot.
Lincecum, who had a $650,000 salary and is headed for a big raise now that he's eligible for arbitration, did not have any bonus provision for winning the award. Carpenter receives $100,000 for finishing second, Wainwright $100,000 for winding up third and Vazquez $70,000 for being voted fourth.
Lincecum teamed with Matt Cain to give the Giants a strong 1-2 punch at the top of their rotation, helping them stay in contention all year in one of baseball's biggest surprises. He went 15-7 with a 2.48 ERA in 32 starts and 225 1-3 innings.
"I'm excited," Giants infielder Pablo Sandoval told The Associated Press. "I'm very happy for him. He did a great job for the team and he had great numbers."
San Francisco selected the 5-foot-11, 170-pound Lincecum with the 10th overall selection in the 2006 draft out of Washington, and he instantly became the organization's top pitching prospect since Hall of Famer Juan Marichal signed with the New York Giants as an amateur free agent in 1957. He made his major league debut in 2007 and is 40-17 with a 2.90 ERA in three seasons.

Just over 24 hours ago, we reported that HTC One X and EVO 4G LTE handsets were stopped from entering the US by Customs, and now, it's gotten a bit of attention and the US District Court of Delaware has ordered both company's to enter settlement discussions.
Judge Sherry Fallon will moderate the talks, with the order requesting lawyers from both sides to meet in Delaware on August 28 in an attempt to resolve the ongoing patent dispute. It's unknown whether a settlement will be reached, but pressure will be on HTC to make some sort of concession, following the International Trade Commission ban on HTC handset imports coming into force.
The ITC ban was disclosed on December 19, after a judge determined that HTC's messaging and browser apps in Android violated Apple patents.

The Twilight Concert Series
At the south end of downtown, the library has ignited a new kind of city center and a more secular and inclusive gathering space. This same secular spirit is most easily seen on Thursday nights come summertime, when the Twilight Concert Series is in full swing. The streets are filled with revelers, packs of skinny-jean wearing cyclists fill the bike lanes, and Pioneer Park is one big mass of wacky, loud fun. The Salt Lake Library's grounds play host to the Arts Festival, Living Traditions and Gay Pride events. Next door, the newest addition, the Leonardo museum, recently opened its doors. And on the hill above the University of Utah, there is a new Natural History Museum. The Salt Lake Arts Center is now the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art, and the stalwarts of the Utah Symphony, Opera and Ballet West continue to thrive and survive. These days, culture in Salt Lake comes in tuxedos and tutus, trucker hats and spray paint.
Broadway District
Broadway's Resurgence
In the '80s Broadway (300 South) was a shuttered-up street. Only the palatial Center Theater on the corner remained as testament to the once-great shopping avenue of shoe stores and furriers. Then the center was demolished to make way for the high-rise Broadway Center, and that was that. But when Ken Sanders opened his rare-and-used book store and it became an intellectual hub just off Broadway on 200 East, the boards on the storefronts started to fall. Now Broadway is home to clever locals like Frosty Darling and the modern-furniture consignment store Green Ant. There are well-curated antique and vintage stores like Retro Rose and Jitter Bug, and these blocks are the hub of the monthly Gallery Stroll.
The Tower Theater
Salt Lake Film Center
The restoration of the Tower in the early '90s ensured independent cinema in Utah, and the Tower became a hub for film lovers and a welcome new-bohemian vibe. Then The Film Society took over the Broadway Theaters in the early 2000s and expanded its line up of art films and happenings. Now both are our window into smaller-run, films beyond the Megaplex.
NEW SLC SUB-POP: Angela Brown, editor of SLUG magazine. "Our city is growing up. People are investing in SLC and want to make a cool culture here. You can find something really cool to do every single night."
SLC Punk
Some kids went on missions in Mr. Mac suits while others wore Doc Martins, flew purple mohawks and banged their heads at the Speedway Cafe. Salt Lake's punk scene birthed the cult classic film SLC Punk and was uniquely vital—as only a counter-culture in the face of a dominant, squeaky clean culture can be. The scene still has its remnants: Raunch Records, for example, as well as the still thriving SLUG magazine. Every year the now-grown up kids, who once defiantly took drugs, played loud music and stomped around with sneering scowls, gather in Torrey for the Utah Family Reunion, to play the old (loud) songs.

Agreed, SharePoint would be your easiest or best option in a Windows environment. Build documents in word, excel and visio, then simply upload to sharepoint document area. Create access for users based on groups, user, roles or active directory. Maintain docs from within sharepoint and have sharepoint provide doc revision.
Wiki wiki wiki.
Find a simple wiki, avoid closing information in lots of different file formats that require different programs to view. Keep it simple.
The simplest wiki I have tried is Tiddly wiki, its just one html file so you just need a browser. Amazing features for just a html file.
If you want more for tiny bit of money then I highly recommend Confluence from Atlassian, 10 users for $10, can't beat that. Runs a tomcat server with a mssql db among other things. I'm a generalist so I use products from lots and lots of different vendors and when it comes do documentation and support, few if any rival atlassian :)
How about Windows Sharepoint Services? It's free and you can build a nice document library for yourself.

Fall 2010 (Senior): Henzlik had an up-and-down fall season, but recorded two top-25 finishes to give him seven career top-25 finishes. His best tournament was the Nevada Wolf Pack Classic where he placed 18th and recording a two-round total of 145 (+1). At that tournament he shot his fall season best round of 70 (-2). He also recorded a 25th place finish at the Air Force Falcon Invite with a three round total of 221 (+5). Henzlik had the third best stroke average for the Cowboys at 75.85, while recording a tie for the second best round of the fall at 70 (-2). Henzlik has competed in 38 events for the Cowboy during his UW career.
2009-10 (Junior): Henzlik had a up-and-down 2009-10 season with only one top-25 finish, but he did record his career low round of 68 (-4). His best tournament was the Air Force Falcon Invite where he tied for 17th place with a three-round total of 216 (E). He twice shot his career low 68 (-4) during that tournament. His low round of 68 (-4) tied teammate Gabe Maier for the best round of the season for the Cowboys. Henzlik played in all 11 events the Cowboys entered and had the fourth best stroke average of 75.97. He recorded five rounds of par or better during the season, including two rounds under par. Following the season, Henzlik was honored with the Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-American Scholar Award by the Golf Coaches Association of America. He also was named a MWC Scholar Athlete and Academic All-MWC last season for the third consecutive season.
2008-09 (Sophomore): Henzlik enjoyed a very successful sophomore season. He had the Cowboys' second best stroke average at 75.47 and finished in the top 25 of three different events. He saved his best golf for the last, as he excelled at the 2009 Mountain West Conference Championship. He tied for seventh in the league's championship with a three-round total of 212 (-1). His other top-25 finishes came in the prestigious New Mexico Tucker Invite (Tie 20th, +5, 221) and the Mizzou Tiger Intercollegiate (Tie 23rd, 225, +9). His best round of the season was a 68 (-3) in the second round of the MWC Championship. On the year he shot par or better in nine rounds. He continued to be an exceptional student and earned both MWC Scholar Athlete accolades and Academic All-Conference honors for the second straight year.
2007-08 (Freshman): Henzlik walked onto the Cowboy team as a freshman and promptly played well enough to represent Wyoming at 10 of 13 tournaments, including all six tournaments of the spring. Henzlik's low round of the season was a one under-par 71, which he shot at the BYU Cougar Classic. At the Turtle Bay Invite in Hawaii, he factored into the third-best team event total in UW history, 859 (-5). Phil posted his best event finish of the season, and first career top-25 finish, in just his second event of the fall when he concluded the Purple & Red Invite in 22nd place of 104 collegiate golfers. Henzlik excelled academically and was selected as a Mountain West Conference Scholar Athlete, while also being named Academic All-MWC.
High School: Henzlik was the South Dakota Class AA Individual State Champion as a senior in 2006. He was named All-State twice, All-Conference for three years and was the captain of his high school golf squad as both a junior and senior. Henzlik was also a high school tennis player, winning a state doubles title as a senior and helping his team win the S.D. state title as both a junior and senior. He was named All-State in tennis after his senior year and was his team's captain. Henzlik earned nine high school letters, five in golf (including eighth grade) and four in tennis.

TPD identifies three suspects in sweepstakes robbery
Published: Thursday, August 14, 2014 at 10:48 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, August 14, 2014 at 10:48 a.m.
Two people have been arrested for their alleged involvement last month in an armed robbery at Pots O' Gold Sweepstakes in Thomasville. The Thomasville Police Department is searching for a third suspect.
Amanda Marie Helton, 22, of 509 White St., Thomasville, has been charged with contributing to delinquency of a juvenile, felony conspiracy to commit robbery with a dangerous weapon and felony robbery with a dangerous weapon. She received a $75,000 secured bond and a court date of Sept. 24 in Thomasville District Court
A second suspect, Dillon Scott Baker, 16, of 203 Polk St., Thomasville, also has been charged with armed robbery in the incident.
At 11:20 p.m. July 30, officers responded to Pots O' Gold at 1330 National Highway in reference to a robbery. An employee told police a Caucasian man and Caucasian woman entered the establishment, displayed a firearm and demanded money. The suspects were last seen leaving on foot toward Von Logan Drive with an undisclosed amount of currency.
One customer was inside the establishment when the robbery occurred. However, no injuries were reported. TPD Det. Steve Boles previously confirmed no shots were fired in the incident. He explained patrol officers arrived on the scene and notified the agency's Criminal Investigation Division of the robbery.
An arrest warrant stated Helton used a handgun to rob the business of the cash. One of the warrants also stated she caused Baker to be under the influence of crack cocaine and also take part in the armed robbery.
A jail spokesman said late Thursday afternoon Baker was in the Davidson County Detention Center and was under a $20,000 secured bond. He's also scheduled to appear Sept. 24 in Thomasville District Court.
Police are also searching for a third suspect, 24-year-old Andrew Dwight Kirby, of 4 Cates Ave., Apt. B, Thomasville.
Anyone with information regarding his whereabouts is asked to call Crime Stoppers of Thomasville at 476-8477 or Thomasville Police at 475-4260. Due to the nature of charges, Boles cautioned residents Thursday to approach Kirby with caution.
