Well I went to the fabulous Cleveland Clinic today and I was NOT impressed. The good news is that nothing is messed up, no broken bones, nothing torn or over stretched. My x-rays and exam were completely normal. What was so unimpressive was that the physician was NOT sports oriented. He was quite overweight and the first thing out of his mouth was "stop running". I'm not stopping. Definitely not going to stop if nothing is wrong. He asked me if I "wanted" physical therapy. I really thought someone would be giving me some kind of information on how to ease back into running. I was not happy. Interestingly though, I think perhaps the whole issue is from my knees getting misaligned because after he (the doctor) manipulated my knees, I haven't needed any ibuprofen. I've been living on ibuprofen for 5 days, taking 600-800 mg every 6 hrs. Maybe I need to see a chiropractor. Maybe it's my shoes.
So in a nutshell, I'm going to start up again this week but jump back to week 4. I'm going to do strength and cardio on non run days. I found a running group nearby and I'm seeing if they are ok with a show poke.
So I am getting nervous! I walked tonight since it is my off day. I wanted to run so I started to jog a little and my knees and feet were hurting. I kept walking and when my time was almost up I jogged a little and I was in pain again. I don't know what I am going to do. My first 5K is on Sunday. I was planning on coming on here to ask for advice on running alone in my very first 5K now I am panicking!
SGT SNESAVAGE, YOU SOB!!! Went out this morning for W6D2 as usual. I was doing my 5 minute warmup walk and the Sgt ran by going the same direction. I proceeded to do my first 10 minute run, walked 3 minutes and finished up my last 10 minute run...when I heard "don't stop now you can keep going" from behind me. My 10min - 3min - 10min morning turned into 10min - 3min - 10min - 45sec (walk) - 6min (run). I feel great now but at the time I wanted to kill him. We did slow down closer to my pace this time but he would not let me quit. He did about 4 miles this morning and actually started catching up with me after I had turned around mid way through my 3min walk. He said he was about 100 yards behind me and when I finished my last run he was still about 50 yards behind me so apparently the pace I was running wasn't as bad as I thought.
maureen0131, I actually changed doctors for a similar reason. Any time I went to my previous doctor with any problem the first thing she said was that I needed to exercise more and lose weight. In the meantime, she had to turn sideways to get through the door. At one point I told her I wasn't losing any weight but that I had been going to the gym and going at a pretty good clip on the eliptical for an hour a day. She told me I just needed to exercise more. I couldn't exercise anymore, I was spending so much time on the eliptical that my nipples were literally bleeding by the time I was done. At that point I found a new doctor who, when I told him the same thing, immediately wrote me a perscription to go see a nutritionist so my insurance would cover it. My long way of saying...go find a new doctor.
Hello everyone! We're finishing W6 today. 2.75 miles. I can't believe I did it and had the nerve to speed up a little for the last quarter mile!!!! I almost cried--happy tears on Tues. Next week is the end of our C25K program. Nine weeks. I'm so proud of me and all my teammates. My first 5K is Nov. 1st. Wish me luck!
Anyway, Nicolette78 -- good luck on your 5K this Sunday!! Let us know how did you. I'm sure you'll do well. Try some nice slow, deep stretching after your workout. Loosen those ankles. You already purchased some good shoes, right?? Gel insoles help me, too.
Hey Maureen0131, I'm glad nothing is broken or torn. I'm very surprised about the Clinic, really? Isn't their Sports Clinic speciality bldg at Marymount off Transportation Blvd?? Yup. Find a new doc.
What a rediculous doctor! Gosh that annoys me so much! I don't think my knee pain was as bad as yours, but it lasted a few weeks (I think end of week 2 to beginning of week 4) until I got new shoes, and now I don't have any knee pain. I also had started doing some quad strengthening exercises for it, so maybe that helped too. I actually traded in the Asics I originally got from fleet feet for some more supportive Brooks sneakers. Apparently they are known in the running community for being really supportive. I also got some inserts to put into them from fleet feet as well. I can't remember if you already have good shoes though? If you are still in pain, I would go to a physical therapist!
Another thing that I did.. and I'm not sure if it helped or not, but I have been trying to run really slowly and focus on my form. If you just look up "running form" on the internet, I'm sure you can find good info.
Well, I was supposed to run today, but the weather is bad and my joints are complaining about that. Hopefully the weather will be clear tomorrow and my body won't be so stiff.
AlmightyD: It sounds like you are doing GREAT! Are you running 3 miles without any walking breaks? Sounds like you could skip ahead in the program to week 8 or 9. To answer your question about races, I don't have anything planned yet. I want to make sure I can run 3 miles before I sign up for one.
Maureen0131: Sorry to hear about your disappointing appointment, but glad to know that you don't have anything seriously wrong. Keep us updatede on how you're feeling!
Nicolette78: Good luck on the race! Let us know how it goes.
Shellyruns5: Congrats on your last week of the program! Way to go!!
I wanted to wish everyone luck with their future running endeavors! I am out for now. Maybe in a few weeks (or months?) when things heal up and feel a little better I'll have to see if anyone is starting the program then. Great job everyone, keep it up!
Raynarunner: I'm so sorry you have to quit for now. I hope you heal up quickly and come back to the program soon!
Well greenybeany, I was hoping it was my shoes but I have Brooks Glycerin 10 with inserts for people with high arches. So I think my shoes are fine. I am so sore all the time. I just don't get it. I haven't run since last Friday and I was hoping just a week would take care of this but I'm still having so much pain. I am trying so hard not to get discouraged. I am going to start strength training. I know I need to but everyday the pain is so bad I can hardly walk sometimes. I have no idea why if everything was fine with my xray's. It just making me sad. I'm scheduled to do a simple 2 mile walk for the American Heart Association on Saturday. I originally thought, wow, I could just run the thing! but now...nope. I'll be lucky if I can walk it.
I'll keep everyone posted. Keep up the good work. I hope I'm running again by next week.
Rayna, I am so sad to hear you aren't able to continue. I know how it feels. I'm out for now too but I'm staying on this forum because I want to continue seeing the encouragement from everyone. I hope to see you back on this forum in a few weeks and hopefully both of us will be feeling better and running again.
It was a beautiful day so my 4 yr old and I stopped at a park with a running track after school and I got 2.5 mi in with a 2 min walk at the top of each mi. My 4 yr old wants to run the Jingle bell kids run in dec with me. I told her she had to run at least 1 time every week if she wants to do the race. She made it a little over a mile and then switched to her bike. Pushed too hard last tues so my knees are a little sore so PT did some things to help them and told me to take it a little easy this week, slower runs and to stop if they start to hurt.
Nicholette _ Good Luck! on your run! I'll be anxious to hear how it went and what advice you have for the rest of us :-)
Rayna- so sorry you have to put your running on hold ( cause I'm not gonna say stop or give up) Hope everything heals quickly and your back at it soon!
Thanks everyone for all of the encouragement! I am so nervous to be running by myself and in the middle of the day... Two very frightening things for me. I never go anywhere alone and I always run at night on my deserted street. Not really excited to have my fat jiggling in front of everyone with no one to distract me from that fact.
I completed W4D2 tonight. I actually improved my time almost 3 minutes. So exciting! It took me 35'40" to finish my 5K. My previous best was 38'05".
It just dawned on me that if I start my time after I warm up instead of before I could actually do a lot better. So I am going to start my next run with 3 minutes of running, 2 minutes of walking, then continue the program as prompted. I should be able to (in theory) shave off 3 minutes.
Does anyone know if there is a podcast that prompts you to run for 5 minutes, walk for 1:30 or 2 minutes and repeats? I should mention that I know nothing about podcasts or how to get/play one. ;-) That is my game plan for the race and it would be easier for me to have prompts. Thanks for any advice!
Here is my run...
Nicolette you are doing AMAZING! you are running an 11 minute mile! For a newbie, that is fantastic. I'd stop worrying about people seeing you running. You are doing way more than they are so they can't be judging you. I don't think anyone is looking anyways! Thats my theory when I run. I imagine everyone seeing me and saying "You Go Girl!"! Seriously. When I finish a run, I hear AlmightyD, GreenyBeany, Jeb and everyone else on this forum saying "YeeeHAWWWWW!" We are all in this together so imagine us all with you and telling you that you are awesome...because you ARE!
So, I was looking at Nicolettes run on the Nike + app and I have a question. Can you run both the Nike + app AND the C25K app at the same time? I tried running a different app at the same time one day and it totally screwed up my C25K app and crashed it. I had to reload the entire thing. Do you have to do one or the other? I was thinking I would use the C25K training app and then switch to the Niki+ app when I'm actually doing a warm up and then running for 30 minutes. I'm jumping ahead here as I can't even run yet, but refuse to stop!
Nicolette - due to my schedule, i have to do all my running during the day outside (during my lunch break in Boston eep!) and at first I was really worried about people seeing me but that passes pretty quickly!
My run yesterday (w4d2) was roooough. Just one of those days where you don't feel 100% going into it....and you feel about 20% coming out of it haha. My body felt like it weighed 600 pounds and like i was barely moving. Blegh. But despite all that, i managed to do better at it than w4d1 so its ok by me. Hopefully I won't feel like so much crap tomorrow.
Looks like I'll have to invest in some good waterproof running gear for next week if all the predictions about Hurricane Sandy hitting the northeast come true.

My first adventures in tea were unpleasant. After years of frowning at Lipton and at burnt/oversteeped teas, a chocolate tea my mother picked up in San Francisco changed everything for me.
I prefer flavored teas, and adore DAVIDsTEA for their selections. however, I'm trying to break out of my box to try new companies and warm up to straight teas.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Bloggers' Rights
Last week, the federal government finally dismissed 11 controversial counts from its overzealous prosecution of journalist Barrett Brown. These counts charged Brown with identity theft for sharing a link to records documenting improper and potentially illegal activities by the U.S. intelligence contractor, Stratfor Global Intelligence.
The fact that Brown has been in jail for 18 months, based in large part on these charges, has threatened and continues to threaten press freedom in the United States.
The Mexican website 1dmx.org (mirror here), was set up in the wake of a set of controversial December 1st 2012 protests against the inauguration of the new President of Mexico, Enrique Peña Nieto. For a year, the site served as a source of information, news, discussion and commentary from the point of view of the protestors. As the anniversary of the protests approached, the site grew to include organized campaign against proposed laws to criminalize protest in the country, as well as preparations to document the results of a memorial protest, planned for December 1, 2013.
Congress and the Justice Dept's Dangerous Attempts to Define "Journalist" Threaten to Exclude Bloggers
Lawmakers in Washington are again weighing in on who should and should not qualify as a journalist—and the outcome looks pretty grim for bloggers, freelancers, and other non-salaried journalists.
Twitter was abuzz yesterday when an unknown person published what was alleged to be a group of passwords for the email accounts of Congressional staffers. Multiple journalists, including reporters from the Daily Beast and Buzzfeed, commented on the list while linking to it.
While one would assume linking to the list is a First Amendment-protected activity—given the journalists had nothing to do with stealing the passwords—Barrett Brown is currently under indictment, in part, for remarkably similar behavior. And if he is convicted, it could have dire consequences for press freedom.
When you use the Internet, you entrust your thoughts, experiences, photos, and location data to intermediaries — companies like AT&T, Google, and Facebook. But when the government requests that data, users are usually left in the dark. In the United States, companies are not required by law to alert their users when they receive a government request for their data. In some circumstances, they are explicitly prohibited from doing so. As part of our ongoing Who Has Your Back campaign, EFF has called on companies to be transparent by publishing their law enforcement guidelines and statistics on government requests for user data.

- Why Mighty Leaf?
Organic Hojicha
Organic Hojicha green tea is made of organic bancha tea, a mixture of pan-fired and slow roasted loose leaf green tea leaves that yield a rich, nutty brew. Within the green tea style category, Organic Hojicha contains lower levels of caffeine. Savor the toasty notes in this hearty cup as infused by our silken tea pouch, our take on the gourmet tea bag.
Organic green tea
Brown and tan roasted leaves
Rich, nutty
Golden-brown liquor
Sweet and smooth, roasted woody flavor
Preparing the perfect cup of tea is a process to be savored. Watch how the traditional elements harmoniously come together to make the perfect cup and enjoy the liberation of pure tea goodness.
This is what we call the Mighty Leaf signature multi-sensory ("sensory melange") tea experience. Come share with us and learn how to get infused.
The quality of tea is affected by the quality of water used to prepare it. Using filtered or bottled water is best. If possible, avoid brewing tea with tap, distilled or mineral water. Never over-boil water, as it results in flat-tasting tea.
1) Heat filtered or bottled water to a rolling boil and then let sit for 1-2 minutes or heat to 170F-180F. 2) While the water is heating pour hot water into your teapot and cups, let sit and then drain completely. A warm teapot will maintain the requisite temperature for superior tasting tea.
Whole Leaf Tea
Slowly open up our specially created, sensually handcrafted tea pouch and enjoy the aroma of fresh whole tea leaves. Use one Mighty Leaf tea pouch per cup.
Infusion Time
Pour water over tea pouch. Time steeping carefully and infuse for 2 - 3 minutes. Watch how the leaves within the pouch have room to gracefully unfurl in your cup, creating a rich and flavorful infusion and a superior tasting tea.
Savor the Leaf
Sip your cup and rediscover the pleasure of the way tea was naturally meant to be. This is the magic of Mighty Leaf.
Both black and green tea originate from the same plant, the Camellia sinensis. However, the final product differs in style, taste and caffeine content due to differences in processing. Green teas are not fermented or fully oxidized like black teas, but instead steamed or pan fired.
Like black teas though, green tea contains an abundant source of natural plant-derived antioxidant compounds called polyphenols. Included within the broad antioxidant polyphenol class are flavonoids and catechins. A kind of flavonoid, catechins are found in tea leaves and may provide protective antioxidant action against harmful free radicals. Research shows that these free radicals cause heart disease, some kinds of cancer and increase the risk of strokes.
Drinking green tea with its high antioxidant levels help protect the body by combating dangerous free radical activity. Further health benefits of green tea may include lowering cholesterol, strengthening the immune system, promoting healthy blood vessel functionality and even protecting teeth and bones. In addition, green tea provides a source of nutrients including magnesium. Manganese, potassium, calcium, and the vitamins C and K all in trace amounts.
Serve Organic Hojicha alongside spicy and nutty foods. Also pairs well with strong cheeses. An ideal tea to promote digestion and improve circulation.

Canada is famous for its beautiful wilderness with towering mountains, cascading waterfalls and green cedar forests that stretch as far as the eye can see. Within Canada, Alberta is a province that is gifted with kilometers of this stunning landscape. When you choose Alberta hotels, you will be plunged into a world like you may never have known before, one that offers you many outdoor experiences and other fantastic excursions. Keep all of these options in mind when you book rooms in hotels in Alberta so that you can choose hotels near the hot spots and popular sites.
You could start by looking for cheap hotel deals in Alberta that are located within the Banff National Park, one of Canada's treasures. Situated against the backdrop of the Canadian Rocky Mountains, Banff is a nature preserve that offers incredible vistas, hiking trails, steams, rivers and much more. The Alberta hotel deals in the mountains are particularly popular because there is nothing quite like waking up to the sun coming up over a wooded valley as it sweeps down below you, washed in gold from the early morning light.
If you love history and science, you could choose Alberta hotel packages in the Canadian Badlands. As the name implies, this area is rather wild and untamed. Among hoodoo rock formations, you will find the fossils and bones of the dinosaurs that once roamed the Earth, preserved for all time. You can stop by some of the top centers in the country for fossils to view presentations and read the best literature by those who have been working in the field for years. Reservations are needed for some events, but much of what the Badlands has to offer is just a raw landscape for exploration.
Canada has hosted the Winter Olympics for a reason, and Alberta has some of the most impressive skiing and snowboarding parks in the world. A cheap Alberta hotel deal at one of these parks gives you special access to the slopes. There are often discount rates in the low season, but you also have to keep in mind that the prices should not be all that drive your decision; after all, the high season has the best powder. Whether you are a first-time skier who just wants to learn the ropes or an experienced snowboarder who wants to take to the backcountry trails, you will have fun for hours on end.

These are adorable!!! Very comfortable and seem sturdy so far. Not sure how well they would hold up for heavy, everyday use... but we are planning on just using them for a sitting area in our bedroom. The color is somewhere between a navy blue and charcoal gray- love the tufting. So glad to have these!
These chairs are so, so perfect looking, but unfortunately, they don't seem to be very good quality. I could deal with a button popping off here and there, but it's the underlying construction that presents the real problem. When my order arrived, I was sad to find that one of the legs had cracked in half down the middle, and on the other chair, one leg appeared so loose as to collapse under the weight of any who dared sit on it.
We purchased and received these chairs, 4 of them earlier this month. They have been fantastic for our dining room table. We almost bought similar chairs from another store that had one chair for the price of two of these.

7.1-4 Sexual Assault in the First Degree -- § 53a-70 (a) (4)
Revised to December 1, 2007 (modified June 13, 2008)
The defendant is charged [in count __] with sexual assault in the first degree. The statute defining this offense reads in pertinent part as follows:
a person is guilty of sexual assault in the first degree when such person engages in sexual intercourse with another person and such other person is mentally incapacitated to the extent that such other person is unable to consent to such sexual intercourse.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this charge, the state must prove the following elements beyond a reasonable doubt:
Element 1 - Sexual intercourse
The first element is that the defendant engaged in sexual intercourse with the complainant. "Sexual intercourse" means vaginal intercourse, anal intercourse, fellatio or cunnilingus. Its meaning is limited to persons not married to each other. Penetration, however slight, is sufficient to complete vaginal intercourse, anal intercourse or fellatio and does not require emission of semen. Penetration, however, is not required for the commission of cunnilingus. Penetration may be committed by an object manipulated by the actor into the genital or anal opening of the complainant's body.
Element 2 - With mentally
incapacitated person
The second element is that the complainant was mentally incapacitated at the time of the sexual intercourse to the extent that (he/she) was unable to consent to the sexual intercourse.
"Mentally incapacitated" means that a person is rendered temporarily incapable of appraising or controlling such person's conduct owing to the influence of a drug or intoxicating substance administered to such person without such person's consent, or owing to any other act committed upon such person without such person's consent.
In summary, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that 1) the defendant engaged in sexual intercourse with the complainant, and 2) at the time of the sexual intercourse the complainant was mentally incapacitated and unable to consent to the intercourse.
If you unanimously find that the state has proved beyond a reasonable doubt each of the elements of the crime of sexual assault in the first degree, then you shall find the defendant guilty. On the other hand, if you unanimously find that the state has failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt any of the elements, you shall then find the defendant not guilty.
Sentence Enhancer
Section 53a-70 (b) provides an enhanced penalty if the victim is under 10 years of age. The jury must find this fact proved beyond a reasonable doubt. See Sentence Enhancers, Instruction 2.11-4.

Can a Real Girl Get Jennifer Aniston's Yoga Body?
Before you sign up for those spendy yoga classes or personal training sessions, look at what the famous "Friend's" at-home yoga workout did for our writer
It's just that I pick a "hidden" detour: I participate in a Saturday morning boot camp.
How can working out more be considered a detour? For starters, I've never done a boot camp. Ever. And this particular boot camp kicks my butt. Here's how it goes: I'm forced to do as many jumping jacks, squats, and weight repetitions as I can bust out in one-minute time frames. After just 10 minutes of this military style torture, I'm dizzy and feel like I might pass out. What have I done?
Yogalosophy is the complete opposite of boot camp -- everything in Mandy's workout is done in sets of eight: repetitions, breaths, and pulses. Why? Mandy says that eight is the number of power and abundance. Eight reps are easier on my body than countless military drills. Go figure.
After a session with Mandy I feel calm, relaxed, and strong. After boot camp? I'm exhausted, depleted, and weak. I've never been beaten up before, but I imagine it feels something like this.
The next day, I wake up sore. Too sore to work out. The following day is even worse. My muscles are on fire and I can barely move. So, I don't.
My mind is telling me to work out, but my body is begging me to leave it alone. My body wins, and I miss five days of Yogalosophy.

Very inspirational! Yogalosophy is fascinating and I want to try it. I know that exercise can become addictive; I was working out every day last year. I hurt my foot and had to quit and really noticed a sense of lethargy and a "need" to move again.

I've had this rattan pouf for about four years and it was time to give it a fun and graphic makeover. Inspired by the colors of the thrifted painting above the mantel, I got some leftover paint (Behr black and white matte, and Rust-oleum's yellow sunburst to gloss it up!). I didn't use any tape, just eyeballed it with the brush and brushed around it with two coats. Super easy and took me about 20 minutes with the help of Beatrice. Let it dry overnight and poof! You got yourself a new pouf! It's a fun way to add a pop of color to any space!

A group of school district administrators from around the region met Friday to compare notes on the new funding formula proposed by Ohio Gov. John Kasich and share their concerns with lawmakers.
Representatives of more than a dozen school districts gathered at the Washington County Career Center for the regular meeting of superintendents in Washington, Guernsey, Monroe and Noble counties whose districts are served by the Ohio Valley Educational Service Center. They were joined by officials from some districts outside that area and three members of the General Assembly.
"There was great dialogue, communication, two ways, between our school officials and our elected officials," said Chris Keylor, superintendent of the ESC.

EVAN BEVINS The Marietta Times
Fort Frye and Warren Local Superintendent Tom Gibbs, left, speaks with Ohio Rep. Debbie Phillips, center, and Sen. Lou Gentile during a break at the Ohio Valley Educational Service Center's monthly superintendents meeting Friday at the Washington County Career Center.
Kasich's initial outline of his plan to address the state's school funding system - declared unconstitutional because of its reliance on property taxes - was received positively at a Jan. 31 meeting of the Buckeye Association of School Administrators in Columbus. Under the program, dubbed "Achievement Everywhere," the governor pledged to direct an additional $1.2 billion to education and said that "If you are poor, you're going to get more. If you are rich, you're going to get less."
But when the projections were released a week later, 60 percent of districts found they were in line for flat funding. In Washington County, only Belpre and Marietta City Schools would see increases. Administration officials have suggested declining enrollment and rising property values contributed to the static funding in southeastern Ohio districts.
Washington County's other four districts would receive the same amount of state aid only because of guarantee money intended to prevent a large drop in funding. But administration officials have emphasized they do not favor continuing such allocations indefinitely.
"This is unfair and unsustainable, and schools must prepare for the phase-out of guarantee funds if Ohio's system of school funding is to be as fair as it needs to be," Richard Ross, director of the Governor's Office of 21st Century Education, said in prepared testimony to the House Finance and Appropriation Committee last week.
A fact sheet released by the governor's office in conjunction with Ross' testimony said it is "not realistic to envision that most districts would receive more money than last year" given that the plan "prioritizes students' needs over building, equipment or adult school district employees."
But Ohio Rep. Debbie Phillips, D-Albany, said the formula is "fundamentally flawed" because it reduces the foundation amount from $5,732 per student to $5,000 and decreases the basis for the "charge-off" - the amount local districts contribute to that total - from 23 mills to 20.
"Reducing the foundation amount hurts the poor districts. Reducing the charge-off helps the wealthier districts," she said.
The fact sheet indicates that nearly 63 percent of state formula funds over the next two years go to low-wealth and urban school districts. It also points out that the state's poorest district in terms of property valuation, Trimble Local in Athens County, would receive $7,678 per pupil in state formula money in fiscal year 2014, more than the 28 wealthiest districts' per-pupil average combined.
Yet some Washington County superintendents have pointed to Trimble as an example of the flaws in the plan, since that district would not receive an increase in state funding.
Fort Frye and Warren Local Superintendent Tom Gibbs said Friday that it's no surprise a formula aimed at giving all districts the same base level for funding provides more money to poorer districts, but that doesn't mean it's an equitable system.
"Equity doesn't mean that everyone gets an equal amount," he said. "Equity means that you redistribute resources ... or distribute resources so that you are providing to each child what that child needs to be successful in school."
Marietta City Schools Superintendent Harry Fleming left the meeting for a while to participate in a conference call organized by the Office of Budget Management and the Governor's Office of 21st Century Education. He and other superintendents whose districts are in line for an increase were asked to describe their situations and the conditions leading to the increase.
"No one though said that there should be anything done for the 60 percent of districts that received zero," Fleming said in describing the call to his fellow superintendents Friday. "Until I talked."
Fleming said he expressed his appreciation for the increased funding, if it comes to pass, but felt the formula should be re-examined.
"The cost of educating all your students is not always based upon the number of students that you have," he said, noting factors like geography and transportation for districts like Frontier and Switzerland of Ohio Local.
Representatives of some regional districts thanked Fleming for speaking up for Appalachia. Wolf Creek Local Superintendent Bob Caldwell was among them and said superintendents need to convince their counterparts who would receive additional funding that the system is not beneficial overall.
Sen. Lou Gentile, D-St. Clairsville, said Friday that he was disappointed to see only four of the 34 school districts in counties he represents were in line for more money. While he wants to see that change, he said he would also fight to protect the increases for districts like Marietta and Belpre.
Gentile said Friday's meeting gave him a chance to get feedback from district leaders about the impact of the formula.
"These education leaders are ready to make the case in Columbus on behalf of the children in their districts that this funding formula is unfair in southeast Ohio," he said.
Gentile and Phillips both said they are optimistic problems can be addressed because Republican lawmakers have also expressed concern over funding projections for schools in their districts.
Sen. Troy Balderson, R-Zanesville, spoke with superintendents Friday as well but had to leave earlier than Gentile and Phillips and was not available for comment Friday afternoon. Ohio Rep. Andy Thompson, R-Marietta, was invited but unable to attend. He has been invited to a future gathering, Keylor said.

(Un)Natural History: The Museum Unveiled
September 12 through December 6, 2009
Richard Barnes's series of photographs Animal Logic examines the role the museum plays in our understanding of ourselves through the acts of collecting, preservation, and display. Images from this large body of work include photographs of the collections from the Smithsonian Institution, the Museum of Comparative Anatomy in Paris, the Canadian Museum of Natural History, and the San Francisco Academy of Science. (Un)Natural History focuses primarily on the natural history museum and by extension collecting institutions in general, providing a kind of behind-the-scenes look at museum practice and display.
This exhibition will coincide with the UM LSA Theme Semester Meaningful Objects: Museums and the Academy. UMMA's presentation is projected to serve as part of a three-venue project highlighting different aspects of Barnes's work in partnership with the UM Institute for the Humanities—who have selected Richard Barnes as the Paula and Edwin Sidman Fellow in the Arts for 2009—and the Cranbrook Institute of Science (in partnership with Cranbrook Art Museum) in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.

A narrow victory
A few moments in his match at the Tennis Masters Cup today, it appeared that Roger would lose against Andy Roddick He was down one set to love and he had a double match point against him in the second set tie break at 4-6.
But then, just like many times before, the wheels fell off in Roddick's attempt to oust the best tennis player on the planet. Roger fought off three match points to win the second set tie breaker and then he cruised in the deciding set to defeat his American opponent 4-6, 7-6 (10-8), 6-4.
"One of the only things I probably would have changed about that point at 6-4 is putting a first serve in," Roddick said. "This won't be the last time I think about that." Roger also agreed that was the turning point.
"Early on in the tiebreak already when I was down 4-1 and him serving ... I thought, well, probably not my day, I'm not playing that great and he's not giving me a chance, so I guess that's it.," Roger said afterwards. "But I told myself, you know, maybe I can make him nervous by just staying along and in the match. That's what happened. I don't know if he got nervous or it just went my way in the end, but it was really close, that's for sure," he said.
Roger has now extended his winning stretch in round-robin matches at the season-ending championship to 14 and his streak against Roddick to eight. He's 12-1 career against Roddick, who has not beaten our star since the semifinals at Montreal in 2003.
Roger will meet Ljubicic on Thursday at 12.00 (Swiss time).
Goodluck for you in the next match with Ljubicic

Our laboratory investigates the molecular regulation of T lymphocytes, particularly as it relates to immunological tolerance, apoptosis, and autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes mellitus, and similar diseases. We use both molecular biology and cellular immunology techniques to pursue these investigations, with a focus on programs of cell death and survival, including apoptosis, autophagy, and necrosis mechanisms. Our approach has been to use contemporary genomic approaches to discover the molecular basis of new genetic diseases of the immune system that affect activation, tolerance, and homeostasis and to develop novel means of diagnosis and immunomodulation of these diseases. Also, we are attempting to pioneer a means of antigen-specific induction of apoptosis of pathogenic T cells as a means of treating autoimmune disease. Such studies could lead to a better understanding of molecular regulatory mechanisms that are important for human immunological diseases.

SANTA CLARA — During Monday's press conference, 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh wanted to talk more about Colin Kaepernick's passes than his record-setting 181 rushing yards in Saturday's night's playoff win over the Green Bay Packers.
"There were several throws that were piercing, where he powered the ball through the defense," Harbaugh said.
Randy Moss, Vernon Davis and Michael Crabtree were on the receiving end of such throws, as was Harbaugh in pregame.
Harbaugh noted that he has to wear gloves to catch Kaepernick's passes "and I still drop a few. The ball gets on you real fast."

United Kingdom, 2013, 90 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Dark Comedy, Drama, Historical/Period, PsychologicalLanguage: English
A 1977 British miniseries called Children of the Stones featured a scientist and his son who go to study mystical Stonehenge-like monoliths in a small village. Their discoveries unveil sinister magic, provoking a futile escape attempt: every road out nightmarishly leads them back to the center of town.
The same provocative British theme of free will versus predetermination underlies Ben Wheatley's latest experimental film, A Field in England. Audiences suffer a suffocating sensation as the protagonists walk and walk and walk, never reaching their destination, which turns out never to have really existed in the first place.The focus here is not so much the actual events of the plot but how they happen.
An alchemist, a constipated rogue, a Civil War deserter, and a minstrel all abandon the surrounding battle to cross a seemingly never-ending field to reach an alehouse that promises comfort amid the confines of what their minds interpret as safe. A necromancer turns out to be pulling the strings as if they were puppets all along, and a brush with some hallucinogenic mushrooms opens up the abyss of their minds, creating a frightening liberation. A possible escape for this "illusion" of culture we have collectively created for ourselves? Do we block the Nietzschean big picture out in favor of "safe" daily trifles? Are we agents of free will or merely playthings for the gods?
The majority of screen time is presented in the dreamlike fashion of a Tarkovsky film, perhaps with a speck of von Trier's Melancholia. "Horror film" may seem a misnomer to those who equate the genre with splatter flicks, but the true meaning of horror addresses the crisis of identity, andA Field in England acknowledges this. For Wheatley, the essence lies in forming an impression rather than providing straightforward answers. Interpretations are relative.Sharing qualities with other notable films featuring "psychedelic" sequences (2001: A Space Odyssey, Altered States), the ambiguity in Field might leave viewers frustrated. Yet those who seek out films that engage the intellect will find the existential allegories here worthwhile.
Don't expect Wheatley's newest to compare to his earlier Down Terrace, Kill List, or Sightseers. Even if it's not your cup of tea, you will leave the picture with a certain feeling in the bottom of your gut that remains long after the credits roll.

Florida still leading nation in foreclosures
Published: Wednesday, May 1, 2013 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 30, 2013 at 9:13 p.m.
Florida again led the nation with the highest percentage of homes in foreclosure in March, according to a new report.
9.7% of state's homes were in such distress in March
The state's foreclosure inventory -- those in some stage of foreclosure -- extended to 9.7 percent of all mortgaged homes in March, more than three times the national average.
Florida also reported the highest number of completed foreclosures over the past year, with 102,847, data provider CoreLogic said Tuesday.
The Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater region posted the highest foreclosure inventory, at 10.2 percent, among the nation's 25 largest metro areas.
Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford was second, at 9.7 percent.
Nationwide, 2.8 percent of all mortgaged homes are in foreclosure.
Nearly 735,000 foreclosures were completed in the past year, with 14 percent of them in Florida.
Still, CoreLogic's report provided some hopeful signs for both the U.S. and Florida, which has consistently had more foreclosures than most other states since the nation's housing markets collapsed in 2007.
The state reduced its foreclosure inventory over the year by 2.4 percentage points, the group's report noted.
In all, roughly 1.1 million U.S. homes were in foreclosure in March, but that was a 23 percent decrease from 1.5 million one year earlier.
Both figures signal a continued reduction in the stock of distressed assets, said Mark Fleming, CoreLogic's chief economist.
"In March, completed foreclosures were down 52 percent from the peak in 2010, and almost all of the top 100 major metropolitan areas have declining foreclosure rates," Fleming said.
A total of 55,000 foreclosures were completed in the U.S. in March, down by 11,000 over the year.
Though Florida ranked first in foreclosures, New Jersey had the second-highest foreclosure inventory at 7.3 percent, followed by New York at 5.0 percent and Maine and Illinois at 4.4 percent.
Wyoming was lowest at 0.5 percent, with Alaska and North Dakota at 0.7 percent and Nebraska and Montana at 0.9 percent.

pple d*ck ride nicki 2much kim is a icon
It has nothing to do with Nicki really, I speak objectively when I say Kim's remix sucked
how come it cant b like how it was in da 90s and early 2000s when trina the brat missy elliot lilkim foxy brown were all in the game makin money .. now its just 1 or 2 or 3 women , and its always a beef for the #1 spot
I don't know, It would be really nice if everyone could just unite but egos are too strong these days. But female hip hop is heating up right now so hopefully it'll start to happen.
In the 90's, it was easier to have a ghost writer. Today…not so much. Which is why Kim can't even rap anymore. Her focus is trying to make the legacy she had, when she still HAD ghost writers, keep living beyond it's era. She has ALWAYS attacked new female emcees if they've had potential to be better than Kim in the pop/hip hop world
Kim ain't allowing that to happen! I used to be a huge Kim fan, but her complete immaturity and obvious insecurities about NM have diminished her. Nicki gave her props, gave her recognition for the influence and inspiration. Kim dissed her every chance she got from jump. Went so far as to put out a whole diss album, Black Friday, to go against Pink Friday. Kim is just wrong. She would have been far ahead today if she just received nicki with love and maturity and not this plastic surgery hate balls. She did it to foxy in her prime, doing it to nicki way wayyy past her prime. She needs to stop.
Totally agree with you.
Your d*ck riding kim right now , whats the problem ?
It's a WRAP Kim, just give up already…
So posting random losers from Twitter is a "story" here. I won't be hitting links to this lame site again.
Lil Kim needs to go on that show Botched and get her face fixed…and her body
You wrong for that lmao…I watched that show n they work wonders for real Lil Kim probably has run out of face money by now.
I think both of these beautiful and lovely ladies should use this beef as a platform as they are doing to bring the female voice back to Hip Hop. Love hip hop, but the only female rapper who kept the ladies voice in the game right now is Nicki Minaj. However, Lil Kim have a tough resume and we all love both of these ladies. Therefore, I hope Nicki Minaj and Lil Kim get on a track together. Now this will be real hip hop with the ladies coming back strong in 2014!
i totally agree wadena. these women need to get together and start destroying hip hop and become one with each other. if they all hooked up on a few tracks oooh they could be slaughtering every track. and anyone in their way. it will all stop with the egos soon. hopefully
sorry but always been a lil kim fan over nicki! all i see is a bunch of nicki bandwagon fanatics. sorry but nicki wouldnt be here if it wasnt for da brat, lil kim, trina, missy e and so forth. if missy hopped on that beat dissing nicki yall would love it.
Lol lil kim just needs to stop period. Its a new generation her time is over shes no longer queen shes done right now people only know her as nickis number one hater her remix was wack af shes the queen of bullshit maybe. Nicki goes hard, all hail queen nicki. Queen of rap no one can compare.

Just got done playing legion tonight. I was playing with a group of 2 other guys. Had a crappy shot on 5. We went looking for my disc and gave up shortly afterwards. We went on to try and find their shots. Couldn't find either one figured the group that went through on us picked them up. Long story short ended up seeing them again confronted them ripped the 2 stolen discs out of a kids bag.
This is the third time this has happened to me at legion. Same situation happened to us on Friday buddy lost a wrath.
What the hell am I just having some bad luck. Or are there a bunch of thieves that play in CR. Granted anyone that reads this isn't one that I have to be worried about. But what is the deal do I need to spot every disc or stop letting people play through?
While we were shooting 13 I yelled to a group shooting 18 to watch their discs. Kid on 16 steals them. They were too little punks on motorcycles.

24-year-old Aaron Swartz, one of the first employees of internet-addled nerds' favorite message board, Reddit, was indicted last week on charges that he stole over four million articles from the online academic journal archive JSTOR. He faces up to 35 years in prison and a $1 million fine.
Swartz, a programmer and activist who was fired from Reddit after it was bought out by Conde Nast in 2006, once boasted that he reads at least a book a week. He's been a proponent of Creative Commons and the free flow of information. That's a new one, a learning junkie breaking into JSTOR for another hit of that sweet, sweet knowledge. Forget prison: We need to keep Swartz out on the streets, peddling his learning to disaffected high school kids on street corners Win-win!

College football signing day should be fairly routine for the Bay Area schools.
Cal, San Jose State and Stanford could all gain or lose a few prospects Wednesday, when recruits can sign letters of intent, but we're unlikely to see the last-minute tumult that periodically ripples through the region.
The Spartans and Cardinal fared well relative to their competition, based on projections by the major recruiting services.
Stanford's class is ranked in the top-20 nationally and includes Palo Alto High School quarterback Keller Chryst, rated the No. 2 pro-style quarterback in the country by Rivals.
San Jose State is expected to sign one of the top classes in the Mountain West, with nearly as many 3-star prospects as the Spartans corralled in the previous four years combined.
Cal's outlook isn't quite as encouraging. The Bears are unlikely to meet the expectations set by coach Sonny Dykes, who said in December that he would be "shocked" if Cal's class wasn't considered "one of the top-three in the league."
Despite a handful of commitment in the past fortnight, the Bears aren't close to that threshold. Their class is No. 7 in the Pac-12 in the Rivals rankings and No. 8 in Scout's assessment.
Here's a closer look at what to expect Wednesday for the local schools.
While not among the conference's best, the Bears' 20-player class represents a decent comeback from a 1-11 season last fall.
"I think they've actually closed pretty well, all things considered," said Brandon Huffman, national recruiting analyst for Scout. "I don't think it's going to be top three in the Pac-12, but probably in the top half."
There were believed to be only a few variables at play on the eve of signing day. The Bears hope to hold onto long-time commit Tre Watson, a 3,400-yard running back from Corona who was being pursued hard by Washington.
The Bears hope to add to their haul along the defensive line. The most likely candidate is four-star defensive tackle Marcus Griffin, of Bellevue, Wash., who tweeted he will announce Wednesday morning among Cal, Arizona and Mississippi State.
A longshot is four-star defensive end Nifae Lealao, from Sacramento, who is thought to be leaning to Vanderbilt.
A month ago, Cal's class was ranked in the upper-50s nationally, but the Bears have added seven prospects (five of them on defense) since the hiring of Art Kaufman as defensive coordinator two weeks ago.
Scout and Rivals now have the class rated No. 43 nationally.
In particular, Adam Gorney of Rivals said a pair of late commits, middle linebacker Chandler Leniu of Bellflower and outside linebacker Aisea Tongilava of Orange, are "difference-makers" at positions the Bears needed help.
Rivals.com reported that Hamilton Anoa'l, a three-star outside linebacker from Serra-San Mateo, had an 11th-hour change of heart and flipped from Northwestern to Cal.
Stanford is expected to sign one of the top-20 classes in the country and perhaps the best in the Pac-12.
In some respects, it's a typical haul. In addition to Chryst, the son of 49ers quarterbacks coach Geep Chryst, the Cardinal has devoted almost one-third of the slots to positions at the heart of its ground-and-pound approach to offense.
Daniel Marx, from Mission Viejo, is one of the top fullbacks on the West Coast.
Dalton Schultz, of South Jordan, Utah, is the No. 1 tight end in the nation, according to Scout.
Casey Tucker, from Chandler, Ariz., is a top-five offensive tackle who had scholarship offers from many top programs across the country.
But the 20-player class -- that number could change, depending on last-minute decisions -- also addressed holes in the defensive depth chart.
Stanford could sign as many as five defensive backs, along with a handful of linebackers.
The top-ranked defensive back is Brandon Simmons, a 4-star prospect from Mansfield, Texas, while the top linebackers are Bobby Okereke, from Tustin, and Joey Alfieri, from Jesuit High in Portland -- the same school that produced former two-way star Owen Marecic.
The class includes a name familiar to longtime Stanford fans: 4-star running back Christian McCaffrey, of Highlands Ranch, Colo., is the son of former Cardinal receiver Ed McCaffrey.
San Jose State
Coach Ron Caragher appears to have hit some home runs during his first full recruiting cycle, with the Spartans poised to produce one of the Mountain West's best classes.
Scout.com has SJSU's current crop of commitments ranked No. 3 in the conference and No. 74 nationally -- the Spartans' best showing since Scout began extensively ranking recruiting classes in 2003.
While Rivals.com places SJSU eighth overall, the Spartans have the fourth-highest average star rating per prospect.
The class features six defensive backs, a priority position for Caragher.
Four players -- defensive back Maurice McKnight, quarterback Ian Fieber, wide receiver/safety David Williams and wide receiver Justin Holmes -- are consensus three-star recruits.
Scout.com credits SJSU with eight three-star players, just one fewer than its total from the past four years combined.
Fieber, from Mission Viejo, and Malik Watson, a transfer from Contra Costa College, are expected to compete to replace record-setting quarterback David Fales.
Senior Blake Jurich and junior Joe Gray are SJSU's top returning quarterbacks.

Hello everyone, can i please get help on dribbling and shooting? I particularly need help on dribbling without looking at the ball because i always lose the ball when i try to dribble for a while, and sometimes my opponent just knocks the ball out of my hands. I need some help on shooting because it is like i never miss one game but then the next 3 games i am just horrible with me just barely touching the rim. If I could correct these problems my future high school coach will probably make me start because he thinks I am a reliable defender. If there is any videos that would help me please tell me because i tend to do better when someone is actually talking to me and showing me correctly. Thanks in advance.
Everything on Ihoops will help. Go on bing and look up how to dribble really good and same thing for shooting. Hope this helps.
P.s Can u resond to my thread by Jumpshot0881
iHoops has entire sections dedicated to Ball Handling and Shooting.
General Skills Section: http://www.ihoops.com/practice-time
my advice for you is straight too the point bud.....
just drill yourself over and over and over and over till your legs are about too fall off... lol
one thing that helps me a ton on dribbling is just basically saying to myself in my head that the ball is always going to come back up to me. Before a game i suggest taking the game ball and dribbling with it a few times to get the hang of it. A way to keep your defender from stealing the ball is to not dribble in a pattern. You said you are a good defender so im asuming u know how to steal the ball well if not... If your defender is dribbling in a pattern you can start to count out the dribbles when the ball hits the floor. 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 when you get to three go in for the steal the ball will always be coming back up and you can steal it easily so try doing a power dribble more often or if u are standing at the top of the key try turning youre body a bit making the defense reach in for the steal. on shooting just dont think about it, dont try to make youre shot look like Ray Allens just shoot how you shoot no matter what people say i have a friend with a jumpshot that should be illegal its so ugly but he is a great shooter just get used to youre shot and dont change it that will make you a way more efficiant shooter and ensure that you wont have as many cold spells. hope this helped
Best Advice For Shooting Is Shoot With Confidence, and Basically Just Put Ya Hand In The Rim When You Release The Ball. For Dribbling, Just Practice Dribbling. The More Practice The Better Your Handles Are.

Post subject: had my baby
I had my lb 7 months ago and I'm already getting asked if I'm ready for my next I would love another one but not at the moment. It took me so long to fall with him that I just want to enjoy him I just feel like people knew what we went thruogh to have him so they should understand a little bit more .

People who have not been in the same situation just don't think . They can be so insensitive.
When we were trying for our 2nd we were constantly being asked 'when are you having another?' and 'it would be a shame for your daughter to be an only child' and 'you don't want a big age gap, best get on with having another one'.
Then ...we did finally get pregnant ...and sadly lost him/her . People realised then that we had been trying, and stopped asking the stupid questions. I was grateful not having to come up with some jovial answer as to why we hadn't had a second yet.
When it finally did happen we were ecstatic, and the pregnancy was emotionally hard going, but worth every second. So glad we kept trying.
If it makes you feel better, tell people to butt out, it's none of their business!!!

Morning MoneyBeat: Worry Over Washington? 'I'm Not Nervous at All'
MARKET SNAP: At 6:15 a.m. ET, S&P 500 futures flat. Treasury yields flat. Nymex up 31 cents at $103.34. Gold down 0.1% at $1,321.80. In Europe, FTSE 100 down 0.6%, DAX down 0.2% and CAC 40 down 0.4%. In Asia, Nikkei 225 up 0.3% and Hang Seng up 0.9%.
WATCH FOR: September NFIB Small Business Survey (7:30 a.m. Eastern Time): seen 93.0; previously 94.0. August U.S. Trade Deficit (8:30): seen $38.9 billion; previously $39.1 billion. August Job Openings and Labor Turnover (10: 00). Alcoa, Biomet, Wolverine World Wide and Yum Brands are scheduled to reports quarterly results.
Few high-profile investors are sweating the partial government shutdown.
That was the lesson from the WSJ's Heard on the Street conference on Monday, where a group of prominent money managers gathered and offered how they're positioning themselves amid the wrangling in Washington and the eventual pullback of Fed stimulus.
Not only do these investors say they're remaining calm, but they're using the recent weakness as an opportunity to load up on more stocks in order to benefit when the situation is ultimately resolved.
"I'm not nervous at all. Not in the slightest bit," Bruce Richards, chief executive at Marathon Asset Management, said at the conference. "There's no fear running through the bones. Maybe there should be, but there isn't."
Just like Mr. Richards, many investors who spoke at the conference say they are buying, even as the Dow is down 4.7% from last month's record high. While the declines haven't been steep, they've been steady: The blue-chip average has dropped in 10 of the past 13 trading days.
Stocks could fall further, these investors acknowledge. But they would view such a development as a reason to buy more. That's because they don't expect the shutdown will last much longer, and more importantly, they don't believe the U.S. will default on its debt no matter how contentious the political squabbling gets.
"I'm not worrying myself to sleep every night over the developments in Washington," Clifton Robbins, founder and chief executive of Blue Harbour Group LP, told MoneyBeat on the sidelines of the conference.
He said he is buying stocks now and would be more aggressive should fear deeply infiltrate the market over the next week. "I hope we don't get the lurching fear. But if we do, it will be a good buying opportunity," he says.
For the most part, investors expect the situation will be resolved without a default. The fear level isn't nearly as elevated as it was during the previous debt-ceiling debacle in the summer of 2011, or at the end of last year when worries over the fiscal cliff were front and center.
Jes Staley, managing partner at BlueMountain Capital Management, was asked right off the bat at yesterday's conference about the government and the debt ceiling. The former head of investment banking at J.P. Morgan, who was once seen as a top candidate to succeed Jamie Dimon as CEO, minced few words on the subject.
"It would be calamitous on so many levels," he says.
Mr. Staley says the market is convinced it won't happen because most realize the nation's political leaders wouldn't be "so reckless as to threaten what is the foundation of the global financial market."
Morning MoneyBeat Daily Factoid: On this day in 1956, Don Larsen threw the only perfect game in World Series history. He led the Yankees to a 2-0 victory over the Brooklyn Dodgers in Game 5. The Yankees went on to win that World Series in seven games.

Alcoa is projected to report third-quarter earnings of six cents a share, according to a consensus survey by Thomson Reuters.
The company's earnings release used to mark the kickoff of the earnings season, but this will be the first quarterly release since Nike replaced Alcoa on the Dow Jones Industrial Average in late September.
On Monday, Morgan Stanley downgraded the company to equal weight from overweight based on lower aluminum price forecasts. J.P. Morgan had also cut its third-quarter earnings estimate on Alcoa Friday to 5 cents a share from 12 cents a share.
Yum Brands is forecast to post earnings of 93 cents a share in the third quarter.
Empire State Realty Trust said after Monday's closing bell that it raised a total of $884.1 million via its initial public offering. The REIT, whose properties include the Empire State Building, debuted on the market on Wednesday and has risen 1.5% since then.
Anxiety Isn't Felt by Some Prominent Money Managers: "Anxiety is spreading through financial markets in the shutdown's second week, but several prominent money managers don't share it."
Loan Spigot Runs Dry for Small Businesses: "The government shutdown is throwing a wrench into efforts by some small businesses to get government-backed loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration."
Top Bankers Warn on U.S. Debt Proposal: "Top Wall Street executives are warning that any effort to pay interest on U.S. debt before other obligations such as Social Security would pose severe risks to financial markets and the economy."
Europeans Import U.S. Budget Model: "U.S. taxpayers had to rescue mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, but that isn't stopping some European governments from adopting similar programs and institutions."
Heard on the Street: Economy Won't Just Bump Head on Ceiling: "Estimating the economic effects of the government shutdown is fairly straightforward; not so the havoc that could be wrought by the debt-ceiling fight."
Current Account: Asset-Maagement Study Is 31-Pages Long: "It is always the quiet ones. Of all the acronym-laden Washington agencies, few would have expected the OFR to drop a bombshell on the $53 trillion asset-management industry. But that is exactly what happened this week."
Ahead of the Tape: Yum Brands: Asian Flu Is Sapping the Appetite: "A slowing economy and a food-safety scare in China dented sales starting late in 2012. Improvement has been slower than expected, with same-store sales in August down a sharp 10%. Unless that begins to improve soon, Yum's goal of returning to same-store sales growth in China in the current quarter looks iffy."
Play the Stocks Game: Predict the S&P 500: "Just where will stocks end the year? That isn't a rhetorical question. We want to know where you think stocks are headed in the last three months of the holiday season, and we've got an offer for you: MoneyBeat's S&P 500 Challenge."

PHOENIX -- If there's anyone in A's camp who has done more to help his cause with less publicity than second baseman Eric Sogard, the name doesn't come readily to mind.
On a Friday when none of the A's did much damage, the left-handed-hitting Sogard hit an opposite-field double against the Diamondbacks in his only at-bat off the bench.
The second-base candidate came back Saturday to get a start against the Angels and promptly pulled a double to right against Angels ace Jered Weaver. Sogard wound up with four at-bats, adding a second double, but was out of the game when the A's scored three times in the bottom of the ninth to force a 13-all tie.
Yes, it has been a good spring for Sogard, who, in a crowded competition at second base, has more than caught the eye of manager Bob Melvin.
"Sogard is right in there,'' Melvin said. "Maybe he hasn't read his name in the newspaper as much as he should have, but that's my fault. He's always been right in there. He's certainly made a case for himself.''
There is a sizable crowd at second base, including Jemile Weeks (.389), Scott Sizemore (.148), Jed Lowrie (.333) and Adam Rosales (.300), all of whom have more experience than the 26-year-old Sogard. But no one is having a better spring than Sogard with his .423 average and five doubles.
Sogard made the club out of spring training last year but wound up spending most of his time at Triple-A Sacramento (.331).
The difference in their situations is that Weaver is the Angels' opening-day starter and Blackley isn't even guaranteed a spot in the A's bullpen, although he was a big pickup for Oakland last year in nine relief appearances and 15 starts.
"I don't have the luxury of giving up an eight-spot in two innings and still being the opening-day starter,'' Blackley said with a bit of humor.
While Weaver could shrug off giving up homers to Josh Reddick, Luke Montz and Yoenis Cespedes, Blackley is trying to make sure he starts the season on the big league roster. The Australian has pitched in North America for a decade now, and that has never happened.
"There are 16 days left, and I've got to show them I'm the same guy I was last year," Blackley said. "I need to show that I'll compete and that I'm mentally there.''
He's going to have to show at least that much, if not more.
"The second and third innings were better,'' Melvin said. "But you don't want to see anybody give up three runs in the first like that.''
After being troubled by a sore neck and back, he allowed five hits, four walks and two earned runs.
"Today was just to eliminate the doubts,'' Anderson said, although he added he didn't have many. "The last two starts will be to hone in on my pitches. My command wasn't very good, but I'm not worried about results.''
Melvin said that after 62 pitches for Anderson on Saturday, he will get in the area of 85 pitches in his next start and, presumably, close to 100 his final start in the A's final day or two in Arizona.
Josh Donaldson homered for Oakland's final run.
"I'm ready,'' he said, a month after arthroscopic knee surgery.
Melvin said that while there is no certainty that Balfour will be ready come April 1, "he's on the path to being our opening-day closer.''
