Carpet pricing uncertain
[Chattanooga, Tenn.] At the end of August, two of the nation's largest carpet mills announced price increases taking effect in September. Shortly thereafter, the nation's largest carpet maker declined to participate in the increase. Now, the status of the proposed increase is unclear. What is clear is that escalating raw materials costs are plaguing the industry.
In a related move, some companies have attempted to change terms offered on certain special products. This also has some dealers up in arms.
A letter dated August 26th informed Mohawk Industries customers that prices were increasing on all residential and commercial carpets with orders on or after Sept. 19 and with shipments on or after Oct. 3. Mohawk president Frank Peters cited "unprecedented business conditionsbCrLf in the carpet industry including the challenge of fluctuating raw materials costs. Chemical components used to make carpet have continued to escalate. Selling prices have not kept up with rising material costs, Peters wrote.
Beaulieu announced increases to its customers with an effective date of Sept. 19, Ralph Boe, CEO, told
On Sept. 7, Shaw Industries wrote a letter to its customers that acknowledged the pressure of raw materials prices and questioned the timing of the increase due to soft business conditions. "Shaw will not increase residential prices at this time,bCrLf the letter said.
Beaulieu's Boe told
that rather than an across-the-board increase, Beaulieu will "probably have a few items we are going to go up on despite the fact that others will pull back.bCrLf The company will remain competitive, he said.
Mohawk would not say it had changed its intent on the increase, however dealers said that it has been postponed. Tom Lape, president, Mohawk residential/commercial, told
, "Challenging business conditions and the costs at both manufacturing and retail are affecting everyone in the carpet value chain. As always, Mohawk remains committed to offering a competitive, innovative and value added product line to support our dealer partners.bCrLf
The carpet industry has had two price increases this year, pointed out Randy Merritt, president, Shaw Industries. Shaw has not been able to recover all of its cost increases even with that, Merritt said. "The fragile state of the consumer and the pressure most retailers are feeling as they prepare for what we hope will be a decent fall, we think the timing for another price increase is not right.bCrLf Merritt said that Shaw will "strugglebCrLf through the fall and re-evaluate the need for further increase as the company prepares for 2012, he said.
In its increase letter, Mohawk also informed dealers that it was eliminating terms on certain special products Oct. 3. Some dealers said that Mohawk's postponement of the price increase also postponed the terms change. Beaulieu also announced a similar change, while Shaw will offer both terms and a net 30-day price option.
Beaulieu's Boe explained that terms have always been around in the industry. Mills frequently offer discounts if dealers pay invoices early, 5 percent if paid in 20 days with the net due at 45 days, for example. Special products are being sold without the discounts to level the playing field, Boe said.
He and others said that it's being driven by some smaller mills that are offering comparable items at seemingly lower prices. "Dealers look at the price, but they don't seem to take into consideration that they have terms from one manufacturer but not from the other,bCrLf Boe said.
Jerry Butler, owner, Fred's Carpets Plus, Torrance, Calif., isn't happy about the change. Butler wrote letters to Beaulieu, Shaw and Mohawk and sent copies to
. He confirmed that Mohawk had postponed its plans.
"I feel that the 5 to 6 percent discount is a reward for your better dealers,bCrLf Butler wrote. "I understand that the explanation is that you are competing with small manufacturers who offer net terms to dealers. If these store owners don't recognize the difference between net and terms pricing, perhaps they are not a great target market for your products,bCrLf Butler added.
Butler told
that his fear was that this terms change would be a first step in attempting to eliminate terms. "I wanted to be the squeaky wheel,bCrLf he said.

Ball v. United States
Annotate this Case
- Syllabus
- Case
U.S. Supreme Court
Ball v. United States, 470 U.S. 856 (1985)
Ball v. United States
No. 84-5004
Argued January 9, 1985
Decided March 26, 1985
Petitioner, a previously convicted felon, was arrested when the police found him in possession of another person's revolver that was reported missing; he reportedly threatened a neighbor with the revolver, and tried unsuccessfully to sell it. Petitioner was then indicted on charges of receiving a firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(h)(1) and for possessing it in violation of 18 U.S.C.App. § 1202(a)(1). He was convicted in Federal District Court on both counts and sentenced to consecutive terms of imprisonment on the respective counts. The Court of Appeals remanded the case to the District Court with instructions to modify the sentences to make them concurrent.
Held: Congress did not intend a convicted felon, in petitioner's position, to be punished under both § 922(h) and § 1202(a)(1). Congress recognized that a felon who receives a firearm inevitably also possesses it, and therefore did not intend to subject that person to two convictions for the same criminal act; the legislative history supports this reading of congressional intent. While the Government may seek a multiple-count indictment against a felon for violations of §§ 922(h) and 1202(a)(1) involving the same weapon where a single act establishes the receipt and the possession, the defendant may not suffer two convictions or sentences on that indictment. If the jury returns guilty verdicts for each count, the trial court should enter judgment on only one count. The remedy of ordering one of the sentences to be served concurrently with the other cannot be squared with Congress' intention. Pp. 470 U. S. 859-865.
734 F.2d 965, vacated and remanded.
BURGER, C.J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which BRENNAN, WHITE, BLACKMUN, REHNQUIST, and O'CONNOR, JJ., joined. MARSHALL, J., concurred in the judgment. STEVENS, J., filed an opinion concurring in the judgment, post, p. 470 U. S. 867. POWELL, J., took no part in the decision of the case.

Find a Doctor
Request an Appointment
BOSTON - For many women, the disfigurement that comes from breast cancer surgery can be as traumatic as the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. But a new surgical technique, perforator flap reconstruction, is being offered for the first time in Boston at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) by surgeons specifically trained in the technique. This procedure offers restoration of an affected breast while allowing the return to a physically active lifestyle.
Until now, autologous breast reconstruction began with the surgeon creating a skin flap using tissue from the back, abdomen or buttocks. While eliminating the need for an implant, the surgery required the surgeon to collect muscle along with skin, fat and blood vessels. The loss of muscle support would often create weakness, contour deformities, and hernias in the abdomen or weakness and decreased range of motion of an arm or leg.
DIEP flap microsurgery takes the tissue from the lower abdomen and leaves the muscles intact. Named for the Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator blood vessels, the surgery requires more time in the operating room but a shorter recovery interval that comes from leaving the abdominal wall intact. An analogous procedure exists for the buttocks donor site, the SGAP Flap, based on the Superior Gluteal Artery Perforator vessels.
"Data show that nearly all women are able to return to vigorous activity, including swimming, biking and tennis, within six months," says Adam Tobias, M.D., who brought the DIEP flap technique to BIDMC. "As much as 90 percent of the abdominal muscle activity returns by about one year. Success rates top 95 percent and complication rates are sharply reduced compared to other techniques."

I'll just come right out and say it — no matter how often liberal atheists puff out their collective chests and sneer at us lowly "anti-science" mouth-breathing conservatives, the truth of the matter is that Believers are more science-minded than given credit for ... and even though they hate to admit it, atheists most certainly believe in a Supreme Being.
Evolving vs. Adapting ...
Evolution is pure and total drivel.
It makes a helluva lot more sense that plants and animals adapt to the environment they just so happen to live in.
There's a reason why people who live on or near the equator have more melanin than those that live in the northern latitudes.
There's a reason why Malamutes can handle a Wisconsin winter far better than a Basenji.
Speaking of reasons, there happens to be a reason why humans are taller, stronger, live much longer and healthier lives than we did just a few generations ago.
And that reason has nothing to do with evolution, but everything to do with advancements in medicine and not eating rotted food on a daily basis.
The God of Evolution ...
Despite more than a few atheists/liberals/pro-evolutionistas worshiping at the altar of the Big Bang, even we simpleton Believers are smart enough to understand the basic law of physics that dictates matter cannot and without exception generate itself from nothingness.
But don't tell that to the other side ... that's one of their Articles of Faith.
So please continue to tell us Believers how "anti-science" we are.
The Atheist God ...
Something else atheists/liberals/pro-evolutionistas believe in — God.
According to the theory of evolution, it's the perfect perpetual motion machine. It simply doesn't end ... ever.
Well, I take that back. It does eventually end.
When we evolve into God.

A few quick notes on Monday's OTA
|06.07.10 at 1:27 pm ET
FOXBORO ' Like the headline says, a few quick notes on the Patriots Monday morning OTA session:
'¢The following players were not spotted: wide receiver Taylor Price, cornerback Leigh Bodden, safety Brandon McGowan, defensive lineman Kade Weston, offensive lineman Logan Mankins, offensive tackle Nick Kaczur, tight end Aaron Hernandez and defensive lineman Ty Warren. Safety Pat Chung was wearing a non-contact jersey. (He later jokingly referred to the jersey as a "fashion statement.")
'¢With no Mankins in attendance, Dan Connolly took the majority of snaps with the starting offensive line at left guard, while Sebastian Vollmer took most of the reps at right tackle.
'¢Wes Welker was again in attendance, and went through all of the introductory drills at the start of the session. (Thirty minutes into the practice, Welker retreated to the Field House. He popped out toward the end of practice and spoke with reporters for just over four minutes.) While he was on the field, Welker looked sharp, making a series of nice cuts and not dropping any passes his way (none that we could see, anyway).
'¢Offensive lineman George Bussey took an early penalty lap for jumping offsides, while tight end Rob Gronkowski incurred the wrath of de facto offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien for another infraction. (The rookie got a tongue-lashing and a penalty lap for his troubles.)
'¢Late in practice, cornerback Darius Butler had a nice interception of a pass meant for wide receiver Julian Edelman. And shortly after that, backup quarterback Brian Hoyer and wide receiver Darnell Jenkins just missed on a long-distance connection.

USB: Investment In U.S. Rail System Necessary To Meet Needs Of Ag
As millions of bushels of U.S. soybeans crisscross America's roads, rails and waterways on their way to export markets, a soy-checkoff-funded study says more would ship more cheaply and efficiently by rail - and fewer by trucks - if the U.S. railway system were up to the task."The U.S. soy industry needs a transportation system that runs smoothly in order to move our soybeans to markets, and railways are a major part of that," says Jared Hagert, a soybean farmer from Emerado, N.D., and coordinator of the United Soybean Board (USB) International Opportunities target area. "A big key to growing markets, both domestic and international, is being able to deliver our soybeans in an efficient manner."The study, titled "Maintaining a Track Record of Success," examines the U.S. railway system and its ability to handle future growth in agricultural production and exports. This report suggests that if rail infrastructure investments are adequate to support growth, there will be a gradual shift from truck transportation to rail transportation each year, an action that could save fuel and money along the transportation chain. According to the study, rail uses about one-third of the fuel per ton-mile compared with trucks and can reduce road congestion and the need for highway repairs.Funded by the soy checkoff and coordinated by the Soy Transportation Coalition, this study also examined the private investment anticipated to be made by railroad companies and the shippers and receivers that use it. In addition, the report looks at the soybean sector's challenges in becoming more efficient with its rail movements.U.S. soybean exports are increasingly dependent on rail, as well as other pieces of the infrastructure for transport, between September and February. Fluid rail capacity to handle the surge in volume during those months is critical to the soy industry continuing to maximize the farm value of soybeans.Increasing private and public investment in soy transportation modes remains a priority of the soy checkoff.

Elvis Basudde, one of the attendees of the "Editorial Leadership in HIV/AIDS Reporting: Changing Hearts, Minds and Behaviors" workshop, is a Ugandan journalist living with HIV/AIDS. He is one of a growing number of prominent Ugandans who are openly disclosing their HIV status and who are actively involved in the fight against HIV/AIDS.
Basudde shares with others his experience as a person living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). "I have lived on because I refused to interpret my condition as terminal and learned to live positively. The first thing I did was to accept my status," Basudde said.
Initially very ill, Basudde sought treatment. He recalled his weight was only 80 pounds when he was admitted to a clinical research center. "My face was sunken. I had full-blown AIDS. My relatives and friends cried, knowing there was not much time left," he said. Thanks to antiretroviral treatment, his health was dramatically restored.
Today, Basudde is a leader in his country. "I have gone from the frightened 'victim' to a spokesman for new views about HIV and AIDS, and I hope I can celebrate more birthdays," he said.
He works to spread the message about HIV/AIDS. "I am sounding a serious warning, particularly to the young people, who are more vulnerable. They should avoid unsafe sex, by abstaining or using a condom. Never have a sexual relationship before testing for HIV. So many people look healthy, but may have the virus." He added: "Using my experience I am encouraging those living with HIV not to give up on life. Many are dying psychologically."
With support from PEPFAR for the journalist training workshop, Basudde's message will reach a growing number of people. The bold leadership of people like Basudde is helping to turn the tide against HIV/AIDS.

The day after Halloween, a nightmare came true in the Mountain Area.
Plagued with sleepless nights since the fall of 2008 over the financial solvency of the Met Cinema, owners Ray and Irma Martinez regretfully closed the Oakhurst movie theater on Nov. 1 -- a decision that hit them and area residents unexpectedly.
"The word we're using is grieving," Ray said. "Just thank you community, and we're sorry."
After the Martinezes spoke with their lawyer last week about their hopes of at least pushing through to the holiday season, they were advised that wouldn't be possible. Close the doors tomorrow, or go under, he told them.
"Had we put it out there and said, 'We're about to close,' people would have showed up and maybe made a two month effort, but we couldn't have made a permanent change (to make things better)," Ray said.
The cost of running the business had become astronomical for the couple: a monthly rent of $18,500, utility bills in the thousands, and some money still owed to previous owners Rusty and Sara Murphy, who operated the Met until they sold it to the Martinezes in May of 2008.
About 75% of ticket sales went back to movie studios, and their concession sales were also down -- where they make most of their money, the Martinezes said.
Some studios also require a $5,000 to $10,000 payment for popular movies before they are even shown, and if ticket sales end up accounting for less than the credit, theaters don't get the money back, they said.
"Some months were bad, some were good, but you never thought it would come to this," said Patty Alvarado, whose worked at the Met for nine years in cleaning and concessions.
"I think the economy affected the attendance tremendously," said Jean Clarke, whose worked in tickets and concessions for 10 years at the Met. "It's just sad ... it's going to hurt the community, not just in terms of entertainment. When people go to see a movie, they usually go shopping and go eat out too, and now they'll go to Fresno to do that."
The theater's seven employees received severance pay after they were told Nov. 1 that the Met was now closed.
Ray works as a Cal Fire firefighter in Fresno County and Irma ran a Fresno day care before taking over operation of the Met. The Oakhurst couple also has seven children -- six living at home, four of them adopted, three with special needs, and two with serious special needs that require frequent hospital visits.
Another challenge was the "age of digital" looming before them.
With many studios switching to digital distribution, the Met still played traditional film on old projectors. To upgrade to a digital system, it would cost between $40,000 and $70,000 for each of the Met's five screens, Ray said.
"Thousands of independent movie theaters have closed over the last few decades," reported the Institute for Local Self-Reliance in a 2005 article. "Many of the historic theaters built before 1950 have been demolished or converted to other uses, says Kennedy Smith, executive director of the League of Historic American Theaters. She estimates that there are only a few hundred independent movie theaters left and only a portion of those show first-run films. The top ten chains account for nearly one-third of all theaters and more than half of the total number of screens."
Yet while small theaters may be shutting down, the number of movie screens nationwide has risen significantly -- from about 20,600 screens in 1987 to 38,974 screens last year, reported the National Association of Theatre Owners.
"(Our business got) a lot smaller the farther along we went, and independent anything is becoming a way of the past now, it's sad," said former Met owner Sara Murphy. "I think it's tough for everyone all over the country, and the past couple years with the way the economic climate has been, it's been worse. The big guys are taking over, but there's still people out there fighting, so good for them."
The Met Cinema opened March 20, 1986 and was the recipient of the chamber's Business of the Year award in 1987.
"I don't have anything negative to say about anything, just that it's sad," Sara added about its closing.
"It is always a sad occurrence when a locally owned and independent business closes their doors in our community," said Darin J. Soukup, executive director of the Oakhurst Area Chamber of Commerce. "The Met Cinema's presence will definitely be missed by our residents and our community. Not only was the Met Cinema an entertainment center for Eastern Madera County, but Ray and Irma were such strong supporters of local events and graciously allowed their venue to be used for fundraising by many service organizations."

Eduardo Nunez
From BR Bullpen
Eduardo Michelle Nunez Mendez
- Bats Right, Throws Right
- Height 6' 0", Weight 155 lb.
- Born June 15, 1987 in Santo Domingo, D.R.
[edit] Biographical Information
Eduardo Nunez came to the majors to replace a legend.
Nunez was signed by scout Victor Mata for the New York Yankees in 2004. He debuted that year as a pro, hitting .249/.301/.288 for the DSL Yankees 1. In 2005, he batted .313/.365/.427 for the Staten Island Yankees as the 3rd youngest position player in the New York-Penn League. Nunez was third in the NYPL in hits (88), tied for third in triples (6) and 9th in average. He led the league's shortstops in double plays (46) but also in errors (28). Baseball America rated him as the Yankees' 6th-best prospect and 4th-best in the NYPL (behind Nolan Reimold, Chris Volstad and Wade Davis and ahead of Radhames Liz, Jacoby Ellsbury and Jed Lowrie; Clay Buchholz was 13th).
In 2006, Eduardo struggled with the Tampa Yankees (.184/.223/.340) and Charleston RiverDogs (.227/.278/.294). He did steal 32 bases in 42 tries overall, one positive. The Dominican infielder took the opposite course in 2007, starting with Charleston (.238/.293/.290, 20 SB in 28 tries over 91 G) before being returned to Tampa (.285/.336/.350 in 30 G).
Nunez missed time in 2008 with sprains to both thumbs. He hit .271/.305/.383 for Tampa while healthy, but was just 14-for-24 in steal attempts. He fielded .952 at short. In 2009, the 21/22-year-old showed his first signs of serious talent in four years, putting up a .322/.349/.433 talent for the Trenton Thunder. He stole 19 bases in 26 tries. The youngster was second in the Eastern League with 160 hits (4 behind Neil Sellers) and was third in average behind Brock Bond and Josh Thole. He made 33 errors at short, most in the entire EL. He was still named the All-Star shortstop for the league. Baseball America did not list him as one of the league's top 20 prospects, though. That winter, he was 2 for 10 for the Toros del Este.
The Santo Domingo native began 2010 with the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees, hitting .289/.340/.381 in 118 games with 23 steals in 28 tries while fielding .976 at short. He was called up to the majors when Alex Rodriguez was injured. In his big league debut, he was a defensive substitute for Derek Jeter and turned two double plays in three innings. In his first trip to the plate, he was retired on a pop-up by Jose Valverde. His first hit was on August 21, a single off Jason Vargas to break a 4-4 tie in the 7th; it was the game-winning hit. A week later, he drilled his first home run, a two-run shot off John Danks. He went 14 for 50 (.280) with the one home run and 7 RBI in 30 games in pinstripes that season. Nunez got a lot of playing time for the Yankees in mid-season in 2011 as he got most of the starts at third base when Alex Rodriguez went on the disabled list in July. he played 112 games overall, hitting .265/.313/.385 with 18 doubles in 309 at-bats; he was also successful 22 of 28 times in stealing bases while splitting his time between shortstop and third base. His 20 errors were fourth in the 2011 AL, behind Mark Reynolds, Elvis Andrus and Cliff Pennington, despite his part-time role. He spent the entire season with the Yankees.
In 2012, Nunez was sent back to the minor leagues for part of the season as Eric Chavez and Jayson Nix were the main back-up infielders in New York and he was injured for a time. He played 38 games with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, hitting only .227/.278/.294, in addition to short rehabilitation stints with the GCL Yankees and Tampa. In the big leagues, he hit .292/.330/.393 in 38 games, but in only 89 at-bats. He went 1 for 5 with a double and a pair of runs scored against the Baltimore Orioles in the ALDS, then 2 for 6 with a triple and a homer in the ALCS against the Detroit Tigers. With Jeter out at the start of the 2013 season with the sequels of the broken ankle suffered in the previous year's ALCS, Nunez started at shortstop in the first month of the season. However, he injured a rib on May 5th and after a few days of rest were not enough to cure him, was placed on the disabled list on May 12th, one in a very long series of injuries suffered by the Bronx Bombers at the start of the year. He was hitting .200/.290/.275 in 27 games, with three errors and four RBI. Finally he stayed out until July 6th, when he was back in the Yankees' starting line-up after a brief rehabilitation assignment in the minors. He marked his return with his best game of the season, going 2 for 3 with a run and a pair of RBIs in a 5-4 win over the Baltimore Orioles. He then stayed with the Yankees until the end of the season as Jeter was only healthy for brief stints. He played 90 games, batting .260 with 3 homers and 38 RBI in addition to 17 doubles.
With Jeter having announced that 2014 would be his last season, Nunez was expected to share the SS job with him before eventually taking it over full time. In a surprise move however, Nunez failed to make the team out of spring training and was optioned to the minor leagues as the more versatile Yangervis Solarte took the job of utility infielder. On April 7th, it was confirmed unequivocally that he no longer figured in the Yankees' plans as he was traded to the Minnesota Twins in return for P Miguel Sulbaran.

Ben's Chili Bowl
Row 1
The celebrity (and presidential) photos on the wall are clear indications of Ben's Chili Bowl's city landmark status, but the continuous lines out the door (and its election to this list) are evidence that the restaurant's chili cheese dogs are some of the best in the country. But those in the know dont just order "dogs," they get the half-smokes, a half-pork, half-beef smoked sausage which is a native D.C. specialty supposedly invented by Ben Ali, the original proprietor, whose sons took over the restaurant after his death. As the U Street Corridor/Shaw neighborhood around it has gentrified and become trendy, it's a more than 50-year-old bastion of down-home D.C. where college kids, old-timers, and celebrities are all welcome as long as they're willing to stand in line like everybody else though the president eats for free.

PECO is committed to providing customers with reliable electric service. Trees and other vegetation cause about one third of all electric outages. Preventative pruning around aerial power lines is vital to providing reliable electric service.
PECO's vegetation management crews are trained in proper arboricultural pruning techniques, which meet the standards set by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). These standards take into account the type and location of the tree in relation to the overhead wires and the health of the tree. PECO notifies property owners prior to work beginning in each community. Areas where line clearance work is completed experience fewer outages and a significant improvement in electric reliability.
PECO maintains two distinct types of electric rights-of-way. Electric transmission rights-of-way carry power from power generation stations to substations, and electric distribution rights-of-way carry power from substations to customers. Find out more about the maintenance of the two types of right-of-way below.
In addition, you can download our factsheet(pdf) to give you a quick view of the different maintenance programs.
PECO performs routine tree and vegetation maintenance on regular cycles. These cycles are five years in length. PECO also performs some mid-cycle work where trees are especially fast growing, or there are other problems that may result in interruptions to electric service.
Electric utility pruning is often perceived differently from other types of pruning because the objectives are different. However, when pruning trees in urban and suburban environments, the tools and methods used are similar to those used for other pruning purposes. Likewise, utility arborists are expected to adhere to the same professional standards as other arborists.
PECO employs professional contractors to perform its line clearance work. The work is performed in accordance with American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Standard A300, Part 1: Tree, Shrub, and Other Woody Plant Maintenance – Standard Practices, Pruning.
The type of tree pruning used by PECO is called directional pruning (or natural target pruning). This method is designed to encourage the tree to grow away from the electric lines and has been adopted as a national standard (ANSI A300, Part 1).
The diagram above shows how directional pruning guides the growth of the tree away from the wires.
The diagram above shows how topping or rounding over of trees can cause a flush of fast growing sprouts that grow directly back into the wires.
Find out further information about how to avoid tree and utility conflicts by visiting the International Society of Arboricultures' website (+).
Electric transmission lines carry power from generation stations to substations. They carry high voltages – at PECO these vary between 66,000 volts and 500,000 volts. These lines are extremely sensitive to the proximity of trees and other vegetation. Power outages on electric transmission lines can have far reaching consequences, such as the loss of power to many thousands of customers, or even regional power blackouts. The aim of PECO's electric transmission right-of-way vegetation maintenance program is to make sure that trees and other vegetation never cause an interruption to the system.
PECO manages its electric transmission rights-of-way as natural meadows and grass lands, using a technique called integrated vegetation management(+). The rights-of-way provide habitat for birds and animals that is otherwise becoming rare in southeast Pennsylvania.
Electric transmission right-of-way showing the wire zone and the border zone.
PECO does not allow tall-growing trees on its electric transmission rights-of-way. PECO does not prune trees to maintain them in electric transmission rights-of-way; incompatible or tall growing trees are removed.
PECO has been a contributing partner in a scientific study into the effects of different management techniques along electric transmission rights-of-way.

text: Jan 12, 2014 20:42 NBA: Foul should have been called on Saturday's final play NBA: Foul should have been called on Saturday's final play New Orleans Pelicans head coach Monty Williams argues with an official looking for a foul call in the second half of an NBA basketball game against the Dallas Mavericks, Saturday, Jan. 11, 2014, in Dallas. The Mavericks won 110-107. (AP Photo/Tony Gutierrez) Darrell Williams| Special to The Advocate Jan. 12, 2014; 4:31 p.m. Comments Rod Thorn, the NBA's vice president of basketball operations, said Sunday that a foul should have been called on Dallas' Monta Ellis at the end of the Mavericks' 110-107 victory against the New Orleans Hornets on Saturday night. After Mavericks point guard Jose Calderon sank two free throws with 9 seconds left to make it 110-107, the Pelicans' Austin Rivers got the inbounds pass from Anthony Davis and pushed the ball upcourt. Rivers attempted a 3-pointer that, if he made it, would have tied the score. But Ellis appeared to grab Rivers' arm as he was taking the shot. If the foul had been called, Rivers would have gotten three free throws and a chance to tie the game. In his postgame comments, Pelicans coach Monty Williams said he was "embarrassed for the NBA" for the foul not being called and he hoped the league would review the play. "It's hard to swallow that kind of no-call in a game like that," he said. It was the second time in two weeks the NBA acknowledged a missed call near the end of a close game won by the Mavericks.

Australia getting JO before US?
Ooh first, post. Been lurking here for a while, but couldn't be stuffed posting, anyways on with the point...
I checked out a local EB to ask for the release date of JO and I was told it was the 22nd of March. I was at a loss was put down as a week before the US release, but put it down to a mistake on behalf of EB as 90% of EB staff over here are pretty imcompetent (ermm..Sony Dreamcast?). Later today I checked out Harvey Norman (retail giant in Australia) just to check up the date as well, I was told 23rd of March there. When I asked how come it was before the US date, one of the guys said it was a first that we would be getting the game before US shores. Though I didn't take him too seriously as it was pretty obvious he was trying to sell the game to me and get me to pre-order; hell he was talking about clips where he saw heads getting chopped off by the saber throw despite my claims there was never that extent. Any idea what the hell is going on here? Strange that the two of the largest retailers of PC games would make a mistake. Maybe a Raven guy knows what's happening?
Also, the HN guy said the SE Tin didn't have DF and JK in it, only other stuff like a t-shirt, poster, etc. In any case I'll check up this Friday and update.

The Obama Regime blames Bush for every ill that effects America. In of the most audicious charges against Bush, the Regime blames the former President for the Audit of Conservative/Rightwing groups. That's right, it was that "evil" Bush who is too blame for the IRS auditing the political opponents of Obama
Sadly, the regime will get away with this.

Resident Evil: Apocalypse Movie Reviews
User reviews on Resident Evil: Apocalypse
This movie opens with our heroine, who is once again befuddled, waking up in a hospital bed with no one around her, which reminded me of 28 Days later. After walking around she finds the area deserted. Come to find out the virus has gotten out and is spreading throughout the city.
This one is more of an action movie than a horror movie. Sure, there are some jumps and gory effects but the overall theme is action. The few survivors are trying to make it out of the zombie-infested city before it gets nuked.
This one is not as fun as the first movie and the scary monster, once you added guns and armor to him, didn't really seem scary at all. Some of the fight scenes were really fun but I'm never a fan of kids in movies and the ending was rather lame as well. It was also rather predictable.

The man who fell into a well Friday in Judea and was killed is Hillel Rudich z"l, 32, of Tekoa.
His funeral will take place at 9:00 a.m. Sunday, at the Tekoa cemetery.

HAIR DISEASE » Non-Scarring Alopecia
Telogen Effluvium
From article:
Telogen effluvium is an abnormality of hair cycling in which hairs in anagen (growth) phase are rapidly shifted to telogen (resting) phase, and subsequently shed. Hair loss due to telogen effluvium is typically discovered when extraordinary hair shedding is noted in comb, brush, hat or on a pillow.
A great variety of causes are known for telogen effluvium. If the cause can be identified and removed, telogen effluvium may resolve over a period of weeks to months. If a cause cannot be discovered and removed, the abnormal hair cycling and hair shedding can become chronic.
Known causes of telogen effluvium include:
- Hormonal-hypothyroidism, postpregnancy hormonal changes, pre- or post-menopausal hormonal changes.
- Physical illness-anemia, systemic disease involving major organs, major surgery.
- Nutritional-deficiency of some or all of calories, protein, essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals (deficiency may sometimes be caused by nutrient-deficient diets, sometimes by inability to absorb or metabolize nutrients).
- Drugs-many prescribed and over-the-counter drugs have been implicated; sometimes it is difficult to distinguish the effect of a drug from the effect of a condition for which it is taken.
- Severe acute or chronic psychological stress-may be involved in physical illness in a primary or secondary role.

Four-time All-Star Jose Reyes left Monday's season opener against the Tampa Bay Rays due to "left hamstring tightness" following what appeared to be a routine fly out to centre field, the organization confirmed via Twitter following the game.
Reyes flied out to CF in the top of the first but showed no discomfort while running to first.
Infielder Ryan Goins later replaced him as shortstop between Brett Lawrie at third base and Maicer Isturis at second.
The veteran Reyes missed 66 games in 2013 with a left ankle sprain and has played fewer than 135 games in four of his last five seasons.
In 2003, Reyes suffered an ankle sprain on his left side during an August 31 matchup against the Phillies, landing him on the disabled list just shortly after making his Major League Baseball debut.
Reyes, a four-time MLB All-Star, was acquired by the Blue Jays in a blockbuster deal in November 2012 from the Miami Marlins.
He was scheduled to undergo an MRI on Tuesday at the latest.
On Sunday, closer Casey Janssen was placed on the 15-day disabled list [retroactive to March 29] with a left abdominal/lower back strain. Catcher Chris Getz was later recalled from AAA Buffalo.
On March 26, pitcher J.A. Happ was placed on the 15-day DL with lower back tightness.
The Blue Jays open the 2014 Regular Season with a four-game series in Tampa Bay and their home opener is scheduled for Friday, April 4 against the New York Yankees at Rogers Centre.

How does one lose weight fast & build muscle AT THE SAME TIME?
Tuesday, May 14, 2013
I decided to google the question of how one loses weight and gains muscle mass at the same time because the answer seems to be contradictory.
Lose weight = eat less calories and gain muscle mass = eat more calories.
By the time I finished reading all google had to say, I felt like there was no real solution for me? I sent a sparker a spark message who has done incredibly well and is body building (its too soon for a reply) and then emailed a young man I know to be a real brain box and well informed due to regular googling all kinds of stuff with my question and this is his answer.
In addition he created a "way to eat for life" for his wife and she is looking amazing.
This was his reply...
To lose weight fast:
1: cut out breads and pastries COMPLETELY
2: no complex or refined sugars (including sweeteners etc.)
3: TONS of cardio... And not soft on yourself cardio like most people do... You only start burning fat after about 15-20 min of cardio. If you don't sweat...you won't lose weight...but just because your sweating doesn't mean you can stop, cos some people sweat easily and quickly.
4: make sure you have a protein shake or a protein rich diet to keep your energy levels stable... Protein rich diet includes Eggs and lean meat, not big meaty steaks or fatty mince as most people try to have 2-3 times a week claiming its for protein intake.
5: add balsamic vinegar or apple cider vinegar to as many of your meals as possible. It cuts fat extremely well.
6: drink water before EVERY meal, minimum a glass and a half... This will fill your stomach enough to prevent portion distortion but little enough to allow enough food to sustain energy levels. ( don't drink it an hour before the meal, that's cheating and won't do anything)
To build muscle:
1: remember if you are exercising hard and eating for weight loss your body will start eating its muscle tissue, to prevent that you must follow step 4 above.
2: muscle building exercises like : squats, lady push ups, crunches, elastic band work, stair climbing etc. ( these make your body feed the protein into your muscles and prevent your body eating the muscle and then losing muscle mass and tone)
3: eat 6 small meals a day (the 3 extra meals are not full meals, they are AN apple, A banana or any piece of fruit you prefer... So in effect it's 3 meals and 3 pieces of fruit in between meals)
This keeps your thermogenic core burning hot and strips the fat off muscles and so makes your body feed the muscles.
That's about it.
Kind Regards
So this is what I am already doing which is wonderful because it means that I am on the right path already. What I can do is add balsamic vinegar to EVERYTHING and did you know that a healthy dose of balsamic vinegar is FANTASTIC in tomato soup?
I just found that out this evening. The other thing I can do is...DONTspare the horses at boot camp and DONT have bad days for the next 3 months. If I feel that sugar or carb crave my back up plan will be to walk it off to the nearest shopping center to buy a bottle of water.
The money spent will have been worth it in the long run.

For me, I try to take on the philosophy of burning fat and building muscle.
It's an interesting paradigm because muscle does weigh much more than fat.
If you are strength training hard, your weight may actually stabilize, so be sure to take some other measurements of progress. My weight has even crept up a bit and people say I'm looking thinner, and I've lost an inch or so off my belly. The scale helps keep me focused on food and accountable, not so much as a measurement of success.
Remember to check out some other measurements other than just weight.
With that being said, keep up the good work, never give up and have fun.

I just wonder if I can even do cardio at 66? I do a lot of walking but that is all. I agree with him about not eating bread or pastries at all. It is a conclusion I have reached after dancing around the issue for a long time. I would think "I'll cut back" but one always led to more. Getting rid of sugar is a forgone conclusion. I once heard that it leads to bodily inflammation and that is very bad, causes aging and makes you susceptible to illnesses.

Interesting. Trouble with all the water before a meal or during, it isn't a healthy thing to do. It's a catch 22

Muscle does weigh more than fat. When I go to the dr. they can't believe I weigh what I do. I get scolded, then when they see me, they realize I have more muscle than most girls. (not body builders muscle, just big calf muscle, arms, etc). I still have those 25 pounds to lose.
Great information!

It is true what Debbieanne has said, however it is also true that muscle sculpts the body and that muscle burns more calories than fat does. If I had a choice of weighing more but being strong, fit and sculpted...(I don't mean like a body builder sculpting of muscle), I'd take it in a heartbeat.

Nope, I'm still here! that EFA pic you got there is interesting - can't wait to see how she turns out!
So many well wishes coming to you for your new year. I would have made a resolution but as luck would have it I got the stomach flu yesterday and any hopes of following my goals were dashed...Ah well, guess I can always jump back on the bandwagon, considering its an imaginary thing anyway. Anyway, I'm rambling...ah the lovely effects of phenergan.

Hi Bettsi,
I'm glad you're still here, too!
I'm with you as far as finding balance goes...Soon I'll be writing about my own goals for the year. For now, I'm having a blog giveaway and would love you to check it out and see if it interests you.
I love your doll in progress and look forward to seeing how she develops!

My resolutions are to be more crafty instead of just thinking about it and admiring everyone else's work.
To start a blog (which I've just done).
To try to eat more of those bizarre things called fruit and veg.

Hia Bettsi, glad you're back! Your doll looks fascinating. I love the stripey legs.
I'm trying to lose some of the weight which has crept on too. More exercise needed!
Would you believe I still haven't made your gorgeous folk bird?! They look so sweet too and good even for Easter-make a nest too with tiny choc eggs under, for a child.
Inspired as ever by you hun.
Hugs Melanie

American snowboarding legend Shaun White will attempt to earn his third straight Olympic gold medal in halfpipe when the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia continue on Feb. 11. According to betting odds posted to SkyBet on Feb. 10, the man once known as the Flying Tomato is favored to accomplish the feat by a considerable margin.
The 27-year old White, who claimed the men's halfpipe title at the 2006 Torino and 2010 Vancouver Olympics, is favored to win the Sochi event with 1/2 odds. His focus on the halfpipe is so intense that he opted out of the slopestyle contest, which was eventually won by American Sage Kotsenburg, to prepare for the Feb. 11 competition.
The man most likely to challenge White for the victory is Iouri Podladtchikov of Switzerland, who enters the event with a 13/2 shot of taking gold. Known as I-Pod, the Russian-born competitor created the innovative Yolo flip and is a big fan of White's. In a Feb. 10 USA Today article, he aggressively defended the U.S. star against detractors, calling those who trash talk him "morons."
A pair of boarders comprised of American Danny Davis and Ayumu Hirano of Japan are tied for third place, with each entering the competition with 7/1 odds of scoring the gold medal, while Vancouver halfpipe silver medalist Peetu Piiiroinen of Finland is ranked fifth with a 14/1 shot at gold. Two Americans follow, with Taylor Gold taking the six-spot with 16/1 odds, and Gregory Bretz ranking seventh with 20/1 odds of his own.
Posted odds for the rest of the halfpipe field are as follows:
- Taku Hiroaka, Japan, 25/1
- Nathan Johnstone, Australia, 33/1
- Markus Malin, Finland, 40/1
- Ben Kilner, Great Britain, 50/1
- Dominic Harington, Great Britain, 50/1
- Brad Martin, Canada, 66/1
- Seamus O'Connor, Ireland, 100/1
- Scotty James, Australia, 100/1
- Kent Callister, Australia, 100/1
Men's snowboard halfpipe qualifications at the 2014 Winter Olympics begin at 2 AM Pacific time on Feb. 11, with the medal round set to take place at 9:30 AM Pacific.
