November 7, 2005
Tuesday is Election Day and the four candidates for mayor will spend the final hours trying to get every vote they can. News 12 is on your side to show you how they're spending the last moments on the campaign trail and how an unwanted runoff may be unavoidable.
Many voters, including some of the candidates themselves, are saying the mayor's race is going to be a close one. You've got four candidates running and a 50 percent plus one vote majority required to win. So each candidate is out and about today hoping to round up more support.
Signs are up and the shirts are out just over 10 hours before polls open, but the candidates for mayor aren't slowing down.
"I feel great about it," Tommy Boyles said.
Tommy Boyles spent much of his day outside in the sun. He says he wants to be where the people are.
"I'm going to hit every intersection and do some of this. I've got some campaign meetings this afternoon," Boyles said.
Meanwhile, Deke Copenhaver is inside his campaign headquarters reviewing his budget. He says he's put in the work, and believes it will all pay off tomorrow.
"I feel really good. I think we are going to shock a whole lot of people and Augusta will come out and vote for change," Copenhaver said.
Just across town, Helen Blocker-Adams is delivering shirts to student volunteers from Paine College and says the preponderance of support she's getting has got her pumped up.
"We have got such a tremendous group of people that's all lined up to work with us tomorrow from two years old to 90 years old and I'm so excited right now," Blocker-Adams said.
Willie Mays spent most of his day as interim mayor in committee meetings, but at his headquarters, his staff isn't missing a beat, they are giving out signs and making sure voters have transportation.
"Getting people out to the polls, making these telephone calls, canvassing the neighborhoods and letting everyone know that our buses will be ready tomorrow morning," said Sheila Paulk, Willie Mays' Campaign Manager.

BELL COUNTY (October 30, 2012) --- A week before Election Day, the two candidates for Bell County sheriff talked Tuesday about changes they plan if elected.
"I would like to try to get in and see where my patrol needs are first then work with that and work throughout the other situations and things that are needed in the office," Democrat Frank Hernandez said.
"Starting out at the sheriff's office our pay is in the twenties, whereas a starting officer in Killeen is already in the thirties just as a rookie, so it's difficult for us to compete in the marketplace and with my experience as a county commissioner I'm going to be working with those gentleman and or ladies depending on who gets elected to try to get our pay increase," Republican Eddy Lange said.
Lange also said he'd like to eliminate the 90-day rotating shift jail employees now work for a standard shift that would allow them to go back to school or get a part-time job.

How Does Your Dog Feel? Fujitsu May Know
Once upon a time, pet care was a demanding but simple responsibility. But, befitting this age of doggy pampering and dog whisperers, Fujitsu said there's still something missing between man and his four-legged best friend: information on how the dog feels at any given moment.
In what Fujitsu claims is the first pet management service of its kind, the Japanese electronics company said it will launch on Wednesday a new Web-linked pet healthcare management service, called "Wandant", that will allow owners to count their dog's every step, stress levels, and surrounding temperature even when they are apart. The service is another step in Japan's long-running fascination in better understanding their pets. Japanese toy company Takara created a stir nearly a decade ago when it developed "Bowlingual," a product that it promoted as a dog-to-human translation device.
The name "Wandant" is a hybrid of the friendly Japanese term for dog "wan wan" and the word "pendant," in reference to the half-ounce data-gathering device to be worn around the dog's neck. The information is collected and sent automatically to the Internet. That data will be converted into graphs onto a personal profile page so owners can keep tabs on their dogs' health through a computer or Android smartphone. (It is currently unavailable on Apple's iPhone). Consumers can also manually add information such as how much food the dog ate or when it went to the bathroom to help manage its weight, while also keeping a daily diary of that day's activities. The "Wandant" is 4.6 centimeters wide, 2.8 cm high and 1.3 cm thick – about the size of a business card holder.
Borrowing technology developed for smartphones and Fujitsu's K supercomputer, crowned the fastest computer in the world in 2011, the gadget is packed with sensory capabilities key to monitoring the dog's every movement or slightest discomfort like an itch. A 3-D acceleration sensor inside the device can read what direction and what speed the dog is moving in, similar to the way a smartphone is able to adjust the screen size to go long or wide based on the angle it is being held. Such smartphone sensing technology has been adapted to create what Fujitsu says is the pet industry's first pedometer for dogs. Continue reading on Japan Real Time

'Southern Fried Stings' star accused of assault following altercation in Boiling Springs
Published: Wednesday, June 12, 2013 at 12:01 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, June 12, 2013 at 12:01 p.m.
The star of the 2010 truTV cable channel series "Southern Fried Stings" has been charged with assault following an altercation in Boiling Springs Tuesday afternoon, deputies said.
Jay Everette Russell, 43, of 725 Peachtree Road, Chesnee, was charged with third-degree assault and battery after Spartanburg County deputies were called to 910 Vanessa Drive, Boiling Springs, and Russell told deputies that he went to the home to retrieve his trailer and the woman who lived there pushed and slapped him in the face in her front yard, according to an incident report.
The same woman told deputies that she and another person were in her backyard when she heard a commotion, the report states. The woman told officers that she went to the front yard and saw Russell and his son hooking up a trailer — which she said Russell gave her two years ago — to Russell's truck and the woman said she and Jay Russell started arguing, the report states. The woman unhooked the trailer from Russell's truck and sat on it, the report states, and then Russell pulled the trailer, causing it to strike her before Russell pushed her off the trailer, the report states.
The woman said the two continued arguing and Russell came toward her, so she pushed him to get him away from her, the report states. Russell drove off when a witness said he was calling police, the report states.
Voluntary statements were taken from all witnesses. Russell was booked into the Spartanburg County jail just after midnight and released on a $1,000 personal recognizance bond around 6:55 a.m.
Russell is a Spartanburg native and former S.C. Highway Patrol trooper and has appeared on the television series since 2010, according to truTV. Russell and his team "go after people they believe to be engaged in illicit activities, from dealing drugs to fencing stolen goods," according to a news release.

Ebenezer welcomes new shepherd after a year search
CHANGING OF THE GUARD—Rev. Dr. J. Van Alfred Winsett, pastor emeritus, hands over the church's bible to Rev. Dr. Vincent K. Campbell. For more than a year, Ebenezer Baptist Church, in the historic Hill District, was without a senior pastor after the retirement of their longtime shepherd Rev. Dr. J. Van Alfred Winsett in May 2012. But the church that has overcome many obstacles, including two fires and a major rebuild, now welcomes new leadership into their next era under the direction of their new pastor-Rev. Dr. Vincent K. Campbell of Nashville, Tenn.

A note on Bio-fuels from The Volvo GroupOil consumption is increasing at the same time as discoveries of major new oil reserves ae increasingly few and far between. In parallel, average temperatures are rising owning to the increasing emissions of carbon dioxides resulting from the burning of oil, coal and gas. No single fuel and no single engine type will alone be able to solve the energy problems of the future. The Volvo Group is therefore working across a broad front with development of future drivelines and on adjustment to new fuels in order to determine the relative potential of the various solutions.
Volvo supports an evaluation of different alternative fuels in order to reduce dependence on fossil fuel in construction equipment and in the transport sector. Considered feasible in Heavy Duty applications are:
Volvo views tomorrow's fuels and drivelines from what we term the "well-to-wheel" perspective. The aim is to obtain the maximum possible energy efficiency from the energy source itself all the way to the vehicle's wheels. We believe that energy supply will vary with regional conditions and requisites,a nd our task is to continue taking an active role in this development process.
Being the world's largest engine manufacturer for heavy duty vehicles, Volvo has excellent preconditions for tailoring our product range to suit the customer's energy availability and the work that the vehicle is required to do. In order to be able to offer the most cost-effective solution, one that is tailored to the customer's particular needs, Volvo is therefore working on several different alternatives for future drivelines and fuels.

So I was just playing around with this disaster of a new feature they've dumped on us, and I think I've found something that might be helpful to all of us in trying to follow and interact properly.
On the top, upper right hand corner, if you select "Summary" from the VIEW: area (as opposed to Expanded), and then "THREADED" (instead of Message List) from the AS: area, it seems to be a lot more organized and you can click on each line of a post..
Give it a shot and let me know if helps any of you out at all, but I'm looking at the "LFC vv West Ham Opinions" thread, and everything looks quite organized, and I can click on view replies and other areas to see who said what and to what comment.
Hope it helps. Cheers
Jason did as u suggested and YES ! It really helped .
Nice! Good news Colin mate! I know it's not perfect, but hopefully it will help others when they read this too.. Yahoo is gonna have to try harder to keep us down..

1.1-8 Communications with the Court
Revised to January 1, 2008
During the course of the trial you
cannot have any communication with the judge (me) except in open court on the
record. If some issue, such as a sudden illness, occurs while the trial is in
progress, you should write a note and give it to the court staff, who will give
it to me to respond to on the record if need be.
If some emergency occurs at some time
when court is not in session, you should call the jury administrator, whose
phone number is in your jury notice <or give them the number>, and
explain that you are a member of a jury in <Judge's name>'s courtroom and
indicate what the problem is.
Obviously, since you have been chosen
as a juror, it is your duty to be here every day that the case is on trial, and
you can imagine the inconvenience to everyone else if a juror fails to be here
punctually. In the unlikely event that there is some emergency or problem, I
have just described the procedure to follow.

With my family, we twice had an opportunity to live in Europe. We were in England for five years and then later in Germany for seven years. It was an excellent education for our sons. I returned to gardening, writing and art, became a Master Gardener, as well as an Oklahoma certified Master Naturalist. I am the gardener in charge of the Shawnee Japanese Peace Garden, a member of the Deep Fork Audubon Society, and now call my five acre Backyard Wildlife Habitat and Oklahoma Wildscape outside Shawnee home.
My name is Linda Workman Smith. The first step of my gardening journey began in the hills northwest of Van Buren, Arkansas, where my parents�both from farming families�raised seven children.
This is not to say that I�ve always had a love for gardening although over the years I�ve managed to keep my hands in the dirt. In 2000, my husband�s employment brought us to Shawnee where we settled on two acres west of town. Being unemployed for the first time in many years�and planning to stay that way�I started gardening on a small scale.
I have been a member of the Multi-County Master Gardener Association for several years and thoroughly enjoy being in the organization. I now have many flower beds and I�ve expanded my gardens to include lots of vegetable varieties, several fruit trees, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries and grapes. Every year I try to plant something different. I don�t grow a lot of any one thing, but a little bit of lots of things!
11 January 2013 Blog
This Blog is for the Birds
The weird winter continueth from 2012 into 2013. We have received some needed moisture—not nearly enough. The temperatures still bounce up and down, with or without solar participation or earth precipitation. Today it is springtime with high winds propelled by a furiously fast jet stream overhead, tomorrow spring continues, but winter blows in again on Sunday and hangs around for a few days. I hope the plants are staying up with this indoor-outdoor basketball game. My fear is when the game of winter is done we will shoot directly into summer, minus adequate soil moisture. It could be a rough time for plants.
Meanwhile, keep watering and babying your plants. They need some buffering between the swings and extremes of the weather. I still catch the water from the sinks and toss onto any plant that needs water, which would be all of them now, indoors and out. By catching the water I mean while running the faucet to get hot water, don't let all that cold to tepid water rush down the drain. Use a small bucket or pitcher and catch the water. Your plants will thank you.
This past weekend (3rd to the 6th of January) was the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation's bird count. I have participated, with the help of the birds, since 1991, except for the time we lived in Germany. In 1991 a few blue jays, cardinals, chickadees, juncos and one red bellied woodpecker showed up. In 1993, 14 red-winged blackbirds appeared, plus 13 cardinals, 4 blue jays, and dozens of cedar waxwings that perched in the oak tree away from the feeder. 1995 had 17 cardinals, nearly 50 red-winged blackbirds with cowbirds mixed in, and a pair of flickers. In 2004 two Towhees came, one missing its tail, 15 robins scurried under the trees, a variety of sparrows and one Ruby-crowned Kinglet, a tiny little bird with a tiny red patch on its head, made it to my bird list. The 2012 count tallied 25 cardinals, countless red-winged blackbirds and cowbirds, dozens of cedar waxwings that sang their high pitched notes from the privat hedge and Bradford pears, 5 crows, 14 goldfinches, 6 cool looking white-crowned sparrows, only one white-throated sparrow and two downy woodpeckers. Yeah, not to put you to sleep, there were other birds I counted each time as well.
The area where the bird feeders are located has water, pear, elm and cedar trees, and a row of shrubby junipers with a field of native grasses on the other side. The birds have cover, food and water. So do the raccoons, skunks, bunnies, deer, bobcat, feral cats, neighbor dogs, rats, snakes and whatever else comes by. I have one feeder dedicated to scraps at the back edge for the crows. If the crows don't come, the skunk will check things out at dusk. Never mind. If all else fails, the raccoons, arguing amongst themselves using high metallic squeals, will find it in the middle of the night. That or they will sit on top of the metal bin (by the house) that holds the birdseed and spend inordinate amounts of time voicing their displeasure at their inability to remove the lid. That is because the lid is weighted down with a heavy outdoor umbrella stand.
My bird count for 2013 was a bit off kilter. There was the usual contingency of red-winged blackbirds and cowbirds that would descent in mass each morning and evening, crowding out all other birds. Midday, the record number of cardinals (over 37 this year) would come, as well as finches, sparrows, chickadees, one red-breasted nuthatch and one Carolina wren. Very few juncos showed up. Two mockingbirds and two ring neck doves would fly in and sit in the trees to watch the other birds at the bird feeders. They themselves did not partake of the human offered seeds but would fly down to drink water. I keep an old tire that has been cut in half full of water during the winter. If temps dip below freezing, all it takes is a few bounces on the ground to crack and dump out the ice before refilling with fresh water.
During the bird count, one mocker landed on one edge of the old tire. It began to drink when this cowbird landed on the other edge directly across from the mockingbird. The cowbird promptly reached over and pecked the mockingbird. Insulted, the mocker flew off, leaving the cowbird to drink its fill. Bad manners.
If you have ever spent much time watching birds at birdfeeders, you will come to the conclusion it is survival of the fittest or most aggressive or the fastest. Birds work out their own strategies on how to approach the feeder and get the maximum food for the effort. They plan their times to eat carefully, or swoop down and grab a seed, flying back into a tree, or just land and shove, peck or squawk at any other bird nearby. It is a constant jostling of feathered bodies. Only when the blue jays come, yelling their arrival, do the other birds pause for a second. On the other hand, when a hawk dives into this apparent smorgasbord, the birds scatter and get very quiet.
In December I heard this painful cry from outdoors. I could not place where it was coming from until I looked under the birdfeeder and saw this sharp-shinned hawk pinning down a male cardinal. It was plucking out the red bird's breast feathers while the cardinal screamed in agony. When the hawk saw me, I am sure it grinned, grabbed the cardinal and flew away in a flash. Fresh food. I realize this is Mother Nature in action….but, I prefer not to watch the animal shows that have lions or cheetahs running down and eating zebras or gazelles.
My downy woodpeckers, who were at the suet feeder in December, refused to take part in the bird count this year. Not a feather appeared. One Towhee struggled in. Three squirrels made the most of hanging upside down and gobbling sunflower seeds. The most exciting thing involved my miserable attempt at trying to identify these strange goldfinches that arrived at the thistle feeder. Nothing had been at the thistle feeder for weeks. One day several goldfinches arrived. Positive identification using Sibleys Guide. Next thing I knew, more goldfinches joined in, but these had breast stripes and sharp little bills. Ooh, maybe something exotic or rare. Nope. They were pine siskins. Cocky little thistle eaters that superficially look like goldfinches, but on closer inspection (for me, using a pair of binoculars) are very different. I have never had pine siskins visit, but this is the first year I had a thistle feeder. For all I know, they may have been flying in for years, and I called them all goldfinches.
This is why anyone with a desire and curiosity, fairly good ears and eyes, a good pair of binoculars and a few decent bird ID books can go out and identify the birds in their area. As you can see, it is a multi-functional sport. You use all your senses, intellectual, emotional and mental facilities as well as your charge or library card (books, remember). Cross Timbers has a good diversity and often eastern and western U.S. species can both be found right here.
The more birds you observe, listen to and name, the more you too can impress your friends and relatives. They'll either run to you for advice, or away from you in avoidance. Either way, it is a win-win situation. Give birds a chance. They are vital components to any garden. Don't you wish you could fly? Think of birds as little flying dinosaurs, as they may have strong links with those denizens from the ancient past. Phalanxes of tiny flying dinosaurs over your heads.
Wayne Potts, in 1984, studied bird flocks and came up with the 'Dancers Chorus Line Hypothesis'. Birds operate in a wave of motion, and can fly three times faster than if following one another or on their own. Look at the large flocks of Cedar waxwings or red-winged blackbirds as they twist and turn in the sky. Almost on cue, and very much like a school of fish in the air, untrained birds fly better in synchronicity than the amazing thunderbirds whose pilots have had oodles of training.

Group B streptococcus (GBS) can cause serious illness or death in a newborn. You might not have heard of this disease. But if you are pregnant or thinking of getting pregnant, find out how a simple screening test and antibiotic treatment can protect you and your baby.
Group B strep is a bacterium that is commonly found in vaginal and/or rectal areas. GBS can sometimes cause illness in newborn babies, pregnant women, elderly adults, and adults with chronic medical conditions like diabetes, liver disease, and cancer.
This infection is generally easy to treat in adults. But, for newborn babies, it can lead to life-threatening infections, such as sepsis (blood infection) and, rarely, meningitis (infection of the fluid and lining surrounding the brain). Babies who have had meningitis can develop long-term problems, such as hearing and/or vision loss or learning disabilities, and they can even die if the infection is left untreated.
Newborn babies become infected with GBS in three ways:
Fortunately, most babies who are exposed to the bacteria will not become infected.
GBS is present in about 25% of all healthy adult women. Not all women with the bacteria will pass it on. Factors that may increase your risk of passing GBS bacteria to your baby include:
Usually, the pregnant woman has no symptoms of GBS. In pregnant women, GBS infections can cause infection of the uterine lining or amniotic fluid and can lead to a miscarriage. Two forms of infection occur in newborns.
This produces illness soon after birth, usually within the first 24-48 hours, but may be up to 7 days. Problems can include sepsis, pneumonia, and meningitis.
This usually occurs one week to three months after birth. Medical problems associated with late-onset disease may include sepsis and meningitis. There is a chance that infants with meningitis will have long-term problems, such as cerebral palsy, hearing loss, and developmental problems.
Newborns with GBS diseases can die if they do not receive treatment.
Symptoms for both early and late onset include:
If you notice any of these symptoms in your baby (especially if you have tested positive for GBS), call the doctor right away.
Screening for GBS bacteria is simple. A swab of the of the vagina and rectum will be taken about one month before the baby is due. The sample will be sent to a lab to test for the presence of the bacteria. Test results are usually available in 24–48 hours.
The most common treatment is to give IV antibiotics during labor, hopefully at least 4 hours prior to delivery. If your baby is diagnosed with GBS, IV antibiotics will also be given. In some cases, your baby may be given antibiotics as a preventive measure.
The first thing you can do is make sure your doctor screens you for GBS before your delivery date at 35-37 weeks. If you have been identified as a GBS carrier, make sure to tell your doctor of your status when your water breaks or you arrive at the hospital in labor.
By getting screened and treated during labor (if you have GBS), you can reduce the risk of your child developing GBS.

And that one too. But the force is strong with that one." The audience was subsequently called out by Fish, Trey, and Page, in part being told repeatedly "You suck at tucking" over the Maze intro. The Maze intro also featured Trey asking Chris Kuroda to turn off the lights while he waved the light saber around, talked like Darth Vader, saying "I am your father, Fish. I am your father," and played the guitar with his light saber. Fire contained more Tuck references, with Trey saying "Tuck it!" and the alternate lyrics "Let the Tucker take over!" Mike and Trey sported sombreros for Mexican Cousin.

Enloe Medical Center and Butte County Public Health will hold a FREE Walk-In Public Flu Clinic this Friday, Jan. 18 from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. (or while supplies last) at the old Hollywood Video building located at 896 East Avenue in Chico (on the corner of East Avenue and Cohasset Road). Flu shots will be available for people ages 4 and older, including pregnant women, and nasal spray vaccine will be available for healthy children and adults between the ages of 2 and 49.
Butte County Public Health Department's Health Officer, Dr. Mark Lundberg states, "Flu activity is starting to pick up in Butte County and your best protection against the flu is to get vaccinated every year. It's not too late to get the influenza vaccine if you have not done so already this season."
Other steps to help prevent influenza, colds and other contagious illnesses include:
• Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze and throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Germs spread this way.
• Stay home when you are ill and try to limit contact with others as much as possible to keep from infecting them.
If you are not able to make it to this clinic, vaccine is still available in several locations throughout Butte County including some doctors' offices, clinics and pharmacies. For a listing a pharmacies with flu vaccine visit, http://flushot.healthmap.org/.
Further information about the flu is available at both the Butte County Public Health Department website www.buttecounty.net/publichealth and the Enloe Medical Center flu webpage www.enloe.org/flu. Both organizations have an information line as well; the Butte County Public Health Department flu information line is 1-866-444-2405 and the Enloe Medical Center flu information line is 332-7017.

Hey, it's the season finale and we all know what that means. The players will be sent on a forced march to remember people best forgotten, and there will be a bunch of stupid questions from angry members of the jury. Bring it, "Survivor."
We join our players as they return from Tribal Council having just voted out Abi. There is no attempt to hide the joy at her torch snuffing. Malcolm is a little worried, though, because everyone talked about him being a lock to win it all and now he has to do damage control, just as he does every time there is a volatile council.
Michael, the accident-prone survivor, thinks he has a good chance at winning because he has a better story than Malcolm. Uh, isn't this "Survivor," not the Pulitzer Prizes? Maybe we're confused. But before we can clear our heads, tree mail arrives with news of an unexpected challenge. Will it be for reward or immunity? Denise is both worried and determined.
Reward challenge
It's for reward, and it looks like a doozy. The challenge is a massive obstacle course to collect puzzle pieces for reconstructing a dragon. Winner wins an advantage in the final immunity challenge the next day. If that wasn't pressure enough, Jeff Probst fans the flames by endlessly telling them how important it is to win.
And Malcolm, of course, wins it although Denise and Lisa come close. Probst hands over the sealed reward and says Malcolm will open it at the next day's challenge.
Back at camp, everyone is exhausted and three of the four are bummed that Malcolm won the advantage, which they say he didn't need because he already has a good chance of winning the next challenge.
Denise corners Malcolm to ask for a commitment that, if he wins immunity, he'll take her to the finals, or at least make it a tie with Lisa, requiring them to make fire or be eliminated. Malcolm just can't do it and asks for time to consider.
Denise is no fool and figures things have gone sour with her best bud. She goes to Lisa and works a deal to turn on Malcolm. It's a great plan, unless he wins immunity.
Michael is happy with the change in plans, but he's thinking he can beat Malcolm in the challenge for immunity. He also thinks he can tell a good story and win the million dollars even if Malcolm is sitting next to him. Michael is suffering from a serious case of overconfidence.
Challenge day dawns but Michael is still in the dark. He tells Lisa they need to make sure Denise doesn't win immunity and Lisa says no, they have to make sure she does win. Lisa thinks they could beat Denise in the final; Michael isn't sure.
But now it's time for the Fallen Comrade March, otherwise known as a waste of time. But oh look, Denise was present at every torch snuffing. We don't even remember most of them.
Immunity challenge
The players finally make it to their final challenge and it looks like one of those balance tests. Yep, it is. They have to balance a ball on a piece of wood. Every so often, they'll have to add two more blocks of wood, lengthening the rod while making it less stable. Malcolm reads the advantage and it's a second chance. If he drops the ball, he gets to try again.
Probst says a simple backyard game may determine who wins the million, and once again we ask, "What kind of games does Probst play in his backyard?"
Malcolm loses his advantage pretty quickly. After the first addition of blocks, he drops the ball and gets to start again, but this obviously isn't his thing. He starts shaking so much that it's a miracle he lasts as long as he does, but eventually he's out.
Michael, Lisa and Denise are doing pretty well, but with just 30 second to go before a break, Denise drops her ball. Michael and Lisa move into the third round, and the fourth, but Lisa drops the ball and Michael wins immunity. Uh, did we say he was overconfident? Perhaps we spoke too soon.
Michael is thrilled, not only in assuring his spot in the finals, but in beating Malcolm and proving he's da man. Meanwhile, Malcolm is looking for assurance that his alliance is strong. Denise is looking for reassurance that her deal to vote out Malcolm is set.
We're not really sure what's going on, and neither is Michael, who is into a macho, chest-beating thing and wanting to take Malcolm to the finals so he can beat him again. He tells Denise that he wonders if there is honor in taking her and beating her and Lisa. Denise says yeah, well, that might be honorable, but will it happen? She plays the "true friendship" card, and says she understands that it's a big decision.
Michael tells Lisa he wants to take Malcolm, which doesn't please Lisa, who promises to do whatever she can to keep Malcolm out of the final three.
First tribal council
Time for the little chat with Probst, but first he calls in the jury, which includes Abi, who is shooting hate daggers at the final four.
The discussion is extremely civil with Malcolm and Denise accepting that one of them will be going. Probst points out that Michael and Lisa seem to be completely united. Lisa says it's been an open relationship as they have differed in their votes throughout the game. Lisa says her vote tonight will be strategic, to get off her biggest threat.
Malcolm says Denise is the bigger threat. She hasn't had to turn on anyone and isn't as disliked as Malcolm may be with some of the jury.
Probst asks Lisa if there is a reason to take Malcolm and she pauses a long time before answering. "Not for me, there isn't." Malcolm is gutted.
When the votes are counted, Malcolm becomes the eighth member of the jury, and he does not take it well. He congratulates Denise, but the tone of voice says "Eat dirt and die, all three of you."
Final Tribal Council
Arriving back at camp, the three discuss the vote. Michael seems to think that Malcolm congratulated Denise on winning a million and that it was some sort of an affirmation. No, but it might be an omen.
At tree mail, it's tree meal. Champagne, orange juice, eggs, peppers, sausage, fruit, pastry. Yum. Everyone loves everyone else, and to celebrate, they burn down the camp. And then they trot off to meet their fate, and an angry jury.
It starts with opening statements and Denise is first. She's making no apologies. She was able assimilate into three different tribes and was able to prove her value and worth. She survived every tribal council, and she outwit and outplayed most, but she out survived all of them
Lisa says she played with her heart at first, but when she spent time with brother, he reminded her it was a game and that she had to be ruthless. It wasn't a pretty game, but she played it hard and smart, and she grew and changed so much.
Michael gets to tell his story about being a returning player. He loves this game and had no choice, he says, but to play it with fire, no pun intended, we assume.
Focus now shifts to the jury.
Artis is first. He can't congratulate them. If you didn't hold true to your alliances, he says, you're in deep trouble. Karma is the b-word.
Carter gives props to Lisa and Michael for making it to the finals when they were early targets. He asked Michael why he turned on him. Michael says, basically, Carter was too good a player and too big a threat to win it all.
Pete accuses Lisa of being a Judas, knowing that he and Artis were going but doing nothing about it. Lisa says she didn't know Artis was going -- she had voted for Jonathan, not him. He then asks Denise why her game was better than the others. She repeats how she had to adjust and survive and outplay and all of that.
R.C. says she knew from the first moment that Lisa was the big threat and is not surprised she's there. She asks Michael if he should have told her something on Day 19. He says he didn't know they were voting R.C. off, so he couldn't have warned her.
Malcolm says Lisa's opening statement had made him, for the first time, want to write her name down to win. He turns to Denise, who nods, and he tells her not to do that. He's tired of her trying to appease everyone. He wants to know how she got there, but he's not satisfied with her answer.
Jeff says he's bitter, but he can handle it. He tells Michael there are three types of people in the world -- people who make things happen, people who watch things happen and people who wonder what the heck just happened. What kind of guy is he? Michael says he's the guy who makes things happen. Jeff then asks Lisa how she's different from Denise, floating along in the middle. Lisa says she didn't float. She points out her plan to vote out Malcolm that blew up, so she decided to go with Pete's Plan B, which was to vote Jeff out. It served the same purpose of keeping her alliance strong. Sorry about that Jeff.
Abi tells them her heart is broken to learn they all hated her. She asks Lisa why she should vote for her. Lisa says she was true to the alliance until it fell apart. Then she asks Michael if he even cares if she votes for him. He says he deserves her vote because he outplayed everyone. Then she turns to Denise, and revisits Denise' abuse of her. Denise apologies, but stands by the things she said, she just should have said them differently.
Jonathon says it's painful to not be sitting there, but he really does congratulate them. Denise, he says, had a big fear of being seen as the B-word, but she can rest assured that she has proved that she is. Denise looks like someone B-word slapped her. Michael, Jonathan says, has a perfect record of not having had his name written down and predicts that his record might be perfect after tonight's vote. He then turns on Lisa and reveals that she was a teen television star and had kept it from everyone. He thought the jury should know. Lisa asks if Jonathan revealed what job he had as a teenager, 25 years ago, or focused on who he is now. Jonathan doesn't really answer that, but he says one of them has been ridden into the final like an ox yoked to someone else. No, we didn't get it either, but it sounded good and angry. But now it's time to vote.
We see a few of the votes. R.C. votes for Lisa, Jonathan votes for Denise (guess being the B-word doesn't mean you don't deserve the million) and Carter votes for Michael. After everyone votes, Probst gathers the urn and heads off into the future, where all the former players are looking clean and well-fed.
The vote
Before the votes are read, Probst calls for a moment of silence in memory and honor of those killed at the Newtown, Conn., mass murder.
First vote, Lisa. Second vote Denise. Third vote Michael. Hey, we've seen these before. Next vote is for Denise, and then another and hey, Denise wins in an apparent landslide as no other votes are read to make it interesting. She gets hugs from her family and season 25 is over.
Next time: See you in 2013 with another season of goofiness.

"I used to work in a restaurant and was dating one of my coworkers. I would always take a few minutes after cleanup to cool off in the walk-in refrigerator. One day while I was standing inside, my girlfriend surprised me and dragged me into the freezer part... where we proceeded to defrost the area during what was the best half hour of my life. Needless to say, my team wasn't too happy with how long I took to get back to work." Tommy M.
"When I was still a rookie at this whole dating thing, I met a girl in a bar and ended up taking her out to dinner. When I walked her home, she invited me upstairs. She took me up to her apartment's roof deck, which had an incredible view of the city and faced a hotel. Before I knew it, this girl had stripped naked and was walking over to me. Mind you, I was 24 years old at the time. I wasn't prepared for this, but I rallied. I sat her on a piece of outdoor furniture, and we went at it in full view of the hotel's windows."

The Jefferson Federation of Teachers approved a tentative contract agreement with the Jefferson Parish School Board on Tuesday.
The School Board must approve the terms of the contract before it will go into effect.
More than 3,000 educators, ranging from teacher to counselors to social workers, have been working without a contract since June.
Tuesday's approved draft does not represent the views of the district's administration or the Jefferson Parish School Board. The tentative collective bargaining agreement now goes before the Jefferson Parish School Board.

EAGLE COUNTY, Colorado - It looks like snowy weather may be more than a weekend guest in the Vail Valley.
Over the last seven days, more than a foot - much more than a foot in some places - has finally erased the valley's predominantly brown late-fall landscape. And in a place built for playing in the snow, that's very good news.
"The people I've seen who are going (skiing) this morning seem very excited, but everyone who has to work is disappointed," said Wren Witter of Yeti's Grind coffee shop in Vail.
At Troy's Ski Shop in Vail Village, owner Troy Goldberg hit the hill first thing, leaving the rest of the crew to run the shop.
Mike VanVelkenburg said the mood in the Village is "much, much better" than it had been. And one regular group of Troy's customers stumbled into the best snow of the year.
VanVelkenburg said the group had been thinking about calling off its annual trip, but came anyway, just in time for the best snow of the year.
And the snow could keep coming. Joel Gratz, a meteorologist with OpenSnow.com, Monday published a forecast that indicates snow tapering off from Tuesday through Thursday of this week, but calls for more snow starting next weekend. While Gratz's forecast calls for snow throughout the Colorado Rockies, he wrote that the state's southern mountains could be hardest-hit.
The National Weather Service forecast for Vail through Dec. 15 is less optimistic, calling just for a "slight chance" of snow Dec. 14.
But Gratz predicts that the "storm track," a flow of cold air that runs west to east across North America, would drop farther south, perhaps as soon as next week. That storm track - the north side of which generally experiences colder weather and snow - had been languishing almost along the Canadian border just a couple of weeks ago, and dropped to the south at the beginning of last week. The forecast for next week shows the storm tracking diving even farther to the south. That could mean still more snow.
In Beaver Creek, Coyote Cafe manager Kevin Barry said people there were doing happy snow dances, but were still being cautious.
"People are getting excited," Barry said. But you don't want to get too excited or it might stop snowing."


text: In responding to the riots, many prominent public figures have suggested that the problem is a simple one. With regard to the criminals whose despicable behaviour has destroyed livelihoods, they argue that it is a straightforward matter of right and wrong. These people have committed appalling acts for which there can be no excuse. Others have suggested that, whilst there is no excuse for individual acts of criminal behaviour, there are complex underlying factors which have eroded communities and made such behaviour more likely. There is an element of truth in both of these positions.

SACRAMENTO -- A San Ramon man will spend 30 months in prison for his part in a scheme that defrauded his employer of more than $3 million, prosecutors said Monday.
Joel Blanford, 44, was convicted of six counts of mail fraud in a September 2012 trial, where a jury found him guilty of defrauding Long Beach Mortgage, a wholesale subprime lender and former subsidiary of Washington Mutual, U.S. Attorney Benjamin Wagner said in a news release. Evidence presented at the trial showed that Blanford paid a loan coordinator to help him garner millions of dollar in commissions.
From April 2003 to October 2005, Blanford, who worked as a senior sales representative for Long Beach Mortgage, participated in a scheme to defraud the company, which paid him commissions based on the amount of loans he processed, Wagner said.
According to evidence presented at the trial, Blanford reportedly paid a loan coordinator to produce fake documents, falsely verify borrowers' employment or professional licensing status, and turn a blind eye to fraudulent representations in loan applications and other documents submitted to Long Beach Mortgage.
Blanford received more than $3 million in commissions and other compensation as a result of his scheme, Wagner said, and the loan coordinator was paid more than $50,000 in checks alone, without taking into account cash he may have been paid.
"This investigation exposed a sophisticated chain of fraud that started at the homebuyer level and extended all the way to banking insiders," Wagner said. "It is a lesson that those earning million-dollar paychecks are not exempt from significant criminal penalties."
Blanford was sentenced in a Sacramento courtroom to 30 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release.

Today 11 am to 2 pm Monmouth county lefts were rockin!!! Can't complain about the weather too, top day in my book for 2012. "it was a good day to be alive" :)
Well, idsmashh and SUPREME must really love kook'n out with 100 of their best friends. What ever happened to DIY or at least "trust and verify"? Has technology been this successful making worthless people unwilling to do things for themselves? These people call themselves "surfers" and "watermen"....... as long as the computer or i-gadget tells them it's ok to go get wet. It's like "boaters" I see who have no compass on their boat..... because they got an electronic GPS unit. At least there's Seatow for idiot boaters.....
Hanna, I prefer the fairly accurate forecast with plenty of surprises. I would also like to see all the surf cams shot out with bbguns. But, I'm born and bred WB, so all I need to know is what the buoy is saying and what the wind is like to have a pretty accurate idea of what the waves will be like in the entirety of Onslow Bay. But, we're getting "old" and have that rustic "manual" way about us. Relics we will be sooner than later--I like peddling my own bike.
Micha, your site is great and I appreciate everything you have done with it.... especially bringing back the little green man mascot.
I was out Sun and Mon....just north of idsmashh.....nobody but me most of the day......huge dolphin pod of at least 25 on Sun.....loons in the surf.....head high evry 15/20 minutes.......awesome.
in baseball, it's very feasible now to set up a series of optical sensors around home plate that would completely define the strike zone and eliminate any ambiguity in the call of ball or strike - basically removing the human element and eliminating the home base umpire. but does any baseball fan really want that?
i think this is a great site and invaluable part of my surfing lifestyle... but may it never get so accurate that it eliminates the value of walking up to the beach and checking it with my own two eyes.
Yesterday was one of those days where everything seemed to have a mellow, perfect vibe in South Jerz. I had the privilege of sharing my old local break with one other guy who just so happened to be Brian Bowen. He is one of the most laid-back, stylish longboarders I have ever seen (and I've seen Joel T.) REALLY nice guy to boot. I don't longboard yet (at age 50 its right around the corner) but watching that guy on the waves we had yesterday was watching art on water. I had some nice lefts myself with my 77 year old dad watching. Perfect weather. Post session She-Crab soup at the Dville Inn. Can't think of a better Monday in my memory.

Buck 65 "20 Odd Years" 2LP & beautiful new vid
is the only place in the US where people can buy Buck 65's new LP at non-import prices. We've been on Warner Canada's back for the past 2 months about servicing us with this item and we finally have it. Check out the info and the videos on the product page here:
We are also hoping to get the CDs in our possession but that's taking a bit longer than expected. Sit tight. But vinyl heads, your wait is over. Enjoy one of the most beautiful hiphop albums ever made.

Whoa, only shipping option is $8.10 priority mail, bringing this to $33.09. Is that right? It's $31.98 to order from Canada.

To be honest, the shipping rates to Europe have been really high here. Makes me hesitant to order here and I chose alternatives instead, which I don't really want to. Then again, I could be complaining way too much....

Yeah, the postage costs to here have always been at least $3 or $4 more than what the label on the envelope says, think this has come up a couple of time before already.

As I said in the email, I don't really think that s/h cost is obscene for a double LP being shipped from RI to Chicago. I think it's reasonable. But we've done our best to adjust prices in the zencart system. Check to see if that works out. Also, if it turns out that our costs end up being the same as the Canadian store then we'll have to live with that. I think that's what it boils down to. I was hoping to be a better option in terms of pricing for American customers but there's only so much we can do. I'm just glad to have this item in the store. Beautiful, beautiful album. Only took us 2 months of emails and calling in order to acquire it.

Also, don't underestimate the SFRstore generosity in the freebies & extras area (which adds a little weight to each package). We try to make sure everyone gets some cool stuff with their order, and we'll make sure these orders are no different.
Of course, that's not of interest to everyone. But to those who it is, keep it in mind.

Yo no joking - I ordered the Ceschi 10" and 2mex CD, and got a free Dolan vinyl EP in the package.
I already have it so I'm not sure what I'm going to do except practise juggles, but that is SHOCKING generosity.

with it being a dbl. lp it defintiely puts it over the 13 oz. rule and you have to ship it priority and no flat rate boxes fit an lp so you get stuck with kinda high postage rates, if you buy more than just that lp the shipping cost would probably even out.

Leukemia & Lymphoma
Primary Gastric Lymphoma
It is possible that the main title of the report Primary Gastric Lymphoma is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
- non-Hodgkin gastric lymphoma
- stomach lymphoma, non-Hodgkins type
Disorder Subdivisions
- diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) of the stomach
- mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) gastric lymphoma
General Discussion
Primary gastric lymphoma is a general term for a type of cancer that originates within the stomach. Approximately 90 percent of cases of primary gastric lymphoma are either mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) gastric lymphoma or diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) of the stomach. MALT gastric lymphoma is often associated with infection with the Helicobacter pylori bacterium. Within the medical literature, significant controversy exists regarding the exact definition, classification and staging of primary gastric lymphoma.
The term lymphoma refers to cancer that arises in the lymphatic system. Functioning as part of the immune system, the lymphatic system helps to protect the body against infection and disease. It consists of a network of tubes known as lymph vessels that drain a thin watery fluid known as lymph from different areas of the body into the bloodstream. Lymph collects in the tiny spaces between tissue cells and contains proteins, fats, and certain white blood cells known as lymphocytes. As lymph moves through the lymphatic system, it is filtered by a network of small structures known as lymph nodes that help to remove microorganisms (e.g., viruses, bacteria, etc.) and other foreign bodies from the bloodstream.
Most types of lymphoma result from errors in the production of a type of white blood cell (lymphocyte) or transformation of a single lymphocyte into a malignant cell. Abnormal, uncontrolled growth and proliferation of malignant lymphocytes may lead to enlargement of a specific lymph node region or regions; involvement of other lymphatic tissues, such as the spleen and bone marrow; and spread to other bodily tissues and organs, can lead to life-threatening complications. The specific symptoms (fever, night sweats, itchiness, etc.) and physical findings (weight loss, enlarged spleen, lumps over the neck or axilla, etc.) may vary from case to case, depending upon the extent and region(s) of involvement and other factors.
Most cases of primary gastric lymphoma are B-cell subtypes of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). NHL may be broadly classified into lymphomas that arise from abnormal B-lymphocytes (B-cell lymphoma) and those derived from abnormal T-lymphocytes (T-cell lymphoma). Most cases of lymphoma arise in the lymph nodes. When lymphoma arises outside the lymph nodes, it is referred to as extranodal lymphoma. Primary gastric lymphoma is the most common form of extranodal NHL.
NHL may also be categorized based upon certain characteristics of the cancer cells as seen under a microscope and how quickly they may tend to grow and spread. For example, NHL may be characterized as "low-grade" (or indolent), meaning it tends to grow slowly and result in few associated symptoms, or "intermediate-" or "high-grade" (aggressive) lymphomas, which typically grow rapidly, requiring prompt treatment. MALT gastric lymphoma is generally an indolent lymphoma; DLBCL of the stomach is generally an aggressive lymphoma. In some cases, individuals may have both forms of cancer at the same time.

Did you have audio out-of-sync problem with Taxi 3? I was able to stream it fine but the audio was delayed. Not sure if it was my setup or the video ...
Joksi wrote:I tried the Taxi 3 sample and the Bunny MP4 sample (1080p).
Taxi 3 played smooth, besides the two scenes where you saw the airplane in the air above the mountains (PS3 then reported rising bitrates up to 100Mbps so the video slowed down) but with the Bunny several parts stuttered. Strange in fact, cause my CPU doesnt report much more then 60-70% at both cores when this happens but the PSM buffer is struggeling to fill up. Wonder if its something with the buffer, or if itll make any difference if i try the same sample over gigabit?
Both played with MEncoder HT over 100mbps.
EDIT: I solved the Bunny sample stutter, when changed to gigabit! Peak bitrate shown in PMS is 174Mbps, and my CPU is at 40-70% (AMD Dual Core) with task manager showing ~15% utilized of my gigabit connection (=~150Mbps)
