Mister Bee is back in production and that means more of West Virginia's own potato chips.
A temporary freeze in the company's bank account, due to a now closed court case, caused the potato chip company to stop production for two weeks.
Mister Bee's president, Doug Klein, says they were unable to buy supplies during the stop in production and lost around $200,000 as a result.
Production started back up on Sunday, after the account was restored.
Klein says the company will be running overtime to catch up and suppliers should have their full amount of product within a few weeks.
He also thanks all of the loyal Mister Bee customers for sticking by them during this time.
Here is a letter provided to WTAP by Doug Klein, President of Mister Bee Potato Chip Company of Parkersburg. The letter was sent to his employees earlier this month. It has been edited for clarity, and some sections (dealing with confidential business dealings) have been omitted at Klein's request. Those sections are indicated with ellipses ( …).
Since the letter was written, Klein says he has worked out a payment plan with his raw potato provider, and will not need the help of outside investors after all.
Oct 2, 2011
To all Employees of Mister Bee Potato Chip Company,
I am sure all of you have been wondering what has been going on the last several weeks with the inconstancy of our production and product flow. (H)ere (is) the truth of the matter. Back in August 2010 Mister Bee lost its distributing rights to Utz Potato Chips and then 3 months later we lost Snyders of Hanover distribution. Neither of these were the single fault of anybody however it caused a financial strain on the business. Mister Bee lost over $2 million in sales revenue. This (had a) crippling effect (on) Mister Bee.
I did everything in my power to keep the business running (normally) without making any drastic cuts. However, I realized that something was going to have to change in order for us to survive. I went out and tried to find funding for the business. I was able to find a group of investors that were interested in the business and willing to allow me to still have control. Unfortunately, we (were) falling further behind to some of our suppliers. (UPDATE: Klein now says the investors will not be involved.)
Finally our main source of potatoes cut us off because we were behind to them. I explained to them that if they just give us a little time we would make everything correct. They didn't buy it and I was forced to reveal we had potential investors coming in to bail the (company's) problems out.
Instead of being patient, they filed a PACA suit which basically gives them priority to freeze our assets till they are paid. This happened last Wednesday 9/26/11. I must go to Federal court and ask for this injunction to be lifted before we can begin production. My investors have agreed to help bail us out but I will not have their money until after Wednesday. Unfortunately I have exhausted all my money in trying to keep the business going and I am not (allowed) to use any company money prior to this injunction being lifted.
I guarantee you this (is a) minor setback … and we will begin full steam ahead later this week. I apologize for any (inconvenience) this has caused but I was hoping to avoid all this, but I ran out of time.
I would be happy to talk with anyone who has any questions about the whole situation.
Douglas S. Klein
A local potato chip-maker is facing some problems but says it has no intention of closing.
Mister Bee Potato Chip Company, West Virginia's last remaining company of its type, says it is facing some distribution issues but is working hard to overcome them.
Doug Klein, president of Mister Bee, acknowledged to WTAP that he had recently sent a letter to some of his retailers about the firm's problems.
But since he is still battling a lawsuit filed last November by Utz Quality Foods Inc., he could not comment further.
Klein said in a statement: "We are working as fast as we can to put this matter behind us so we can continue manufacturing and selling our products to all our retailers. We are not planning to close any time soon."

Gullotti adds so much to this show, it's probably the only show with a long guest appearance besides Halloween 1996 that could be said to be one of the defining shows of an era.
The first set is no slouch though. The Wolfman's is a great representation of the percussive funk of the early summer, with the band gliding into a fine crescendo before dropping back into a groovy jam with Trey working some pitch shifted leads. Maze drives home just how great the rock & roll was in 1997 as well. With Trey using his other favorite effect of the time, at least until the second set (More on that later)- the stutter-edit or shutterbug effect, whatever you want to call it. LSD Head Camera? I'm not sure. It makes for a great layer in Trey's solo leading up to some wicked bulky sustained runs at the end.
Gin has some moments that feel like a test run for the Went version, as if they could suddenly take off into that glorious progression at any moment, The drop into funk is sudden, but smooth as baby ass. I always wonder about these crowds in summer 97. Specifically the people who hadn't heard any of the shows before the first they saw. The first funk jam of any given night- did they think that was fulfilling the extra jammy, groove oriented tales they've heard? I always wonder, because in every summer 97, whenever that 2nd funk jam hits, you can hear the crowd get freakin AMPED. Oh yeah! This is where we're at now! All those funk oriented songs from Camel Walk to Tweezer to WashUffizi to Wolfmans, and all those funky jams have finally boiled down into something greater,
Anyway, the Gin brings some stop-start heat with Page adding some great clav and then synth layers. This is phenomenal stuff. Finally escaping into a driving chord progression that gracefully crests before coming back down, we're going back up!? Oh wait! It's the Gin ending! Listen to that crowd!
They old-school Tweezer the hell out of this Gin ending, bringing it to a staggering, lurching crawl which suddenly mutates into Makisupa. This is a Makisupa for the ages. The only real comparison is 10/29/94's Makisupa-> Rift. The mid-verse jam dabbles in some dubby textures. Page has some pitch bent sounds in here which seem to intrigue Trey, who is dabbling in loops. After the verse, they break out into a staggering rock jam that maybe could have had real legs. C'Est La Vie. This is a band on a mission, and for the second time tonight, they make a concerted effort to make a seamless segue and succeed. The Bag itself is nothing to sneeze at. The longest Bag to date, it is very reminiscent of 8/13/96 as it stretches the structure to it's breaking point without really blowing it apart. This crowd is in the palm of their hands already, the 4 or 5 times they drag it out further turns that crowd into putty. Fuck a victory lap, this is set 1! We'll see you in set 2 and 1997 the hell out of this joint.
Chalkdust is utterly explosive with Gullotti on the 2nd kit. Dual drummers that really feel each other can be such a godsend, and that's immediately apparent in this Chalkdust. Not even 6 minutes in, it's already a unique Chalkdust and the crowd is popping like crazy. Trey is making love to his effects pedals and staking the claim to Hendrix Reborn that he did the whole year (Except for at the Gorge, weirdly enough.) By 7 minutes, the jam drops back down to "Beginning of Chalkdust Jam" realms, brings it back up again over the next few minutes with some amazing rock jamming that shoots just left of center of a normal Chalkdust. By 9 minutes, we've clearly entered the first truly jammed out Chalkdust ever. A segment reminiscent of a Crosseyed or Birds jam oh so slowly downshifts itself over the next few minutes before simply gliding into the most gorgeous ->Taste that I've ever heard.
Phish is getting ovations 4 minutes into Taste. Any real reason other than the fact that his crowd has been getting straight up hosed since Wolfmans? Not that I know of. Taste is one of the perfect song for a 2nd drummer, and Gullotti takes full advantage of the polyrhythmic stew, unleashing batteries of snare & tom rolls like a drunk rebel on NYE in the Khyber pass. One of- if not THE most atypical and patient takes on the Taste jam ever, it works its way into some quiet jamming fairly reminiscent of the 7/23 YEM thanks to Trey's cartoony pitch-shifted effect. It's impossible to tell Fishman and Gullotti apart. 8 Limbs intersecting & diverging like a two man flock of funky geese. I love the way they keep things on a slow boil while Trey amps up his solo and Page deals shards of dramatic chords.
Halfway through this erstwhile Taste peak, Trey does the most awesome thing ever. Starts throwing the Ya Mar intro into the middle of the Taste peak! Good god what a spectacular left turn. Gullotti's timbali-esque snare runs makes this feel so good. The crowd seems to grasp what's going on a few hundred at a time. Summer 1997 has a couple great segues into Ya Mar, but this one takes the cake.
The drum jam is awesome because it's easy to picture the Ya Mar progression playing over the majority of it. No wankery, just two guys in love with rhythm rocking out before the countoff into Ghost.
Now this Ghost is where history comes in. Throughout Europe and the earlier summer shows, Trey's main funk weapons were the stutter-shades and the helium voice. Everything changes 11:15 in.
After a parade through the different funk styles of summer 97. Page starts playing with his pitchbending. Trey finally gets that last hint of inspiration he needs. He depresses the volume pedal while bending the note and looping it. And the cornerstone for late 90s funk is set in stone. The super engaged crowd, of course eats these ping-ponging sirens up and the jam gets as weird as funk can get. So easy to picture Fishman sitting back with a shit eating grin, Gullotti not realizing how groundbreaking this is.
Phish goes bananas on Zero and Theme.
If you ask me, this is an A+ show. Right up there with Shoreline II and a nudge ahead of Phoenix, ATL, VA Beach & Raleigh as the class of the first jaunt of this tour before the band bottoms out at the Gorge, regroups and takes the midwest and northeast by storm.
Fans of songs with beats like Timber & Taste should love this show. Or fans of funk. Fans of Trey Hendrix. Fans of boomerangs.

It is well established that the rate of chemical degradation of solid-state pharmaceutical products, such as tablets and capsules, is highly dependent upon the environmental temperature and humidity. Indeed, this concept is the underpinning theoretical basis for the pharmaceutical industry guidelines that provide recommendations for long-term, intermediate, and accelerated storage conditions and for establishing expiration dates (1).
The concept of mean kinetic temperature (MKT) was first introduced in 1971 (2) and was further developed in the 1990s (3). MKT can be defined as the single calculated temperature at which the total amount of degradation over a particular period is equal to the sum of the individual degradations that would occur at various temperatures (4). Thus, MKT may be considered as an isothermal storage temperature that simulates the effects of variable storage temperature. The MKT has been found to be useful in a number of pharmaceutically relevant applications, such as providing a scientific means of summarizing variable climatic temperatures (5), handling storage and distribution of pharmaceuticals (6), and for handling temperature excursions (7). The MKT is distinct from the simple arithmetic mean temperature and is generally accepted as a more scientific basis for summarizing variable temperature than the arithmetic mean temperature.
For assessing the impact of variable humidity conditions, on the other hand, no analogous concept to MKT has yet been proposed, because there has been no established means of relating the rate of degradation with humidity. The simple arithmetic mean, therefore, is most commonly used currently for most pharmaceutical applications. As far back as 1977, however, a mathematical relationship between the relative humidity (RH) and the reaction rate in the solid state has been suggested (8), and work by Waterman et al. has since demonstrated that this relationship is widely applicable to pharmaceutical products (9–12). This relationship allows a mean kinetic relative humidity (MKRH) to be calculated analogously to MKT. This article proposes a method for calculating MKRH, and the author discusses the advantages of using MKRH over the simple arithmetic-mean relative humidity and the limitations of the MKRH approach.

- NaVorro Bowman says Andrew Luck presents new challenges to San Francisco 49ers
- Frank Gore says 49ers' opponents focusing on stopping the run
- 49ers' Colin Kaepernick stars in new TV commercial with Joe Flacco
- Colts' Andrew Luck prepares for Sunday's 49ers game, reunion with ex-Stanford coaches
- 49ers tight end Vernon Davis expects to play Sunday against Colts
SANTA CLARA — As competitive reunions go, it's clear 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh holds Sunday's game with Indianapolic Colts quarterback Andrew Luck in the same high regard as facing his brother John in the Super Bowl.
Harbaugh had nothing but good things to say about Luck Wednesday as he assessed the quarterback who put his Stanford program on the national map and ultimately wound up being the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft in 2012.
Harbaugh's even more effusive about Luck now that he's played a year in the NFL. He maintained he's gotten even better.
"He's one of the top players in the league, which is no surprise," Harbaugh said. "He does so many things extremely well."
Harbaugh and his staff must now figure out a way to slow down a quarterback he once nurtured. How will he be able to confuse him?
"That's an interesting question and a good one," he said. "The answer isn't a real good one, because there's not a lot that confuses him or rattles him. There's very little that he doesn't handle well. He's just that type of player."
Harbaugh said he and Luck texted back and forth on occasion during his rookie season, but maintained he didn't offer any heavy counsel
"Mostly congratulations here and there," the coach said. "He's a guy who doesn't need a lot of advice."
Harbaugh said Luck as adapted quickly to the NFL and is impressed how well he has been able to handle punishment. The Colts QB was sacked 41 times in 2012 and has already been sacked seven times this season.
"There's never any sign that it does affect him," he said. "He can get hard and he'll pop right back up and pat somebody on the shoulder or the helmet, say `nice hit.' He's got the ability to extend plays, like he did with the winning touchdown against Oakland in the opener."
Harbaugh added that he believes that although he's primarily a pocket passer with Indianapolis, Luck could be a good read-option quarterback and that the team occasionally ran read-option plays at Stanford.
"Yeah, we did do it," he said. "I don't buy that he doesn't have the athleticism. He is a, for lack of a better term, a freakishly good athlete. He's a lot faster than you think. He's fast and he's stronger than he looks, then you see the evidence on the tape.
"Guys are hitting him pretty solid pretty hard, but he's able to just kind of flinch it off Roethlisberger-like, and throw with a lot of velocity, even though it's a throwing motion that's pretty smooth. The ball comes out faster than you think it does, and with a lot more velocity than you think."
Harbaugh reflected on a quarterback camp Luck attended in 2011 in which his former quarterback struck up a friendship with Colin Kaepernick, his current QB with the 49ers.
"When Andrew came back from the academy, I just asked him what quarterbacks stood out to him, who was good and who he got along with," Harbaugh said. :He lit up talking about Colin. When I met Colin, I could see why. I could see the similarities in the two."
Harbaugh said that he was flattered that Luck has given his former coach so much praise regarding his development and is subsequent success in the pros.
"That's very generous of him to say," he said. "But there's no question that through our association with Andrew, we all drew the long straw."

Iconic British motorcycle company Norton Motorcycles has teamed up with off-road electric specialists OSET Bikes to hold an OSET fun trial at Donington Hall, Norton's headquarters.
Norton welcomed its new Australian/New Zealand distributor at the Donington Hall factory this week. Spending sometime at the factory were, Mr Warren Fraser – Managing Director, his wife Catherine – Group Director, their daughter Alison – Group Marketing Manager, and Warren Lee – CEO Fraser Motorcycle Group.
Just weeks after settling into the new 45,000 sq ft production facility at Hasting House, located within the grounds of Donington Hall, Norton Motorcycles is developing and growing its export market. With the improved production facility layout, Norton have been able to grow production volume of its hand built motorcycles whilst increasing quality control procedures at all stages of production. Ensuring that volume growth has not been at the expense of quality control. The increase in volume is enabling key export markets to open and take further deliveries of pre-ordered motorcycles...
To mark the first delivery of the all new Norton Commando in Canada, Norton Canada organised a black tie event which was very kindly hosted by the British Consul General Jonathan Dart at his official residence in Toronto. Also in attendance was the Hon. Lisa Raitt, Minister of Transportation for the Canadian Government.
Following hot on the heels of the Canadian launch event, Stuart Garner met with Dan Van Epps CEO of Norton America in central New York. The only topic of conversation was the imminent delivery of new Norton Commando motorcycles.

Google Glass Is on Sale for Anyone in the U.S. (Again)
Google Glass can now be purchased by anyone in the U.S. willing to fork out $1,500. But it's not clear for exactly how long.
The company has had a restricted beta test of the device, as well as an open one-day Glass sale last month. On Tuesday, Google said it will sell the device more broadly, but only while supplies last.
"We learned a lot when we opened our site a few weeks ago," Google said in a post to the Glass page on Google+. "So we've decided to move to a more open beta."
Glass isn't yet a fully finished consumer product. Google is only offering an early version targeted at beta testers called Explorers.
The company said it's still working to improve Glass on both the hardware and software fronts, "but starting today anyone in the U.S. can buy the Glass Explorer Edition, as long as we have it on hand."
It's not clear how many of those units Google has made already, how quickly they might run out or whether it would make more in response to demand. But anyone who likes being an early adopter, and missed out on the one-day offer, has another chance.
Then again, Glass fanciers could also wait until after it leaves the current developmental stage, which may is likely to include consumer versions incorporated into frames sold by the likes of Oakley and Ray-Ban.

Solar Impulse, considered the world's most advanced solar-powered plane, will stop for seven to 10 days at major airports in each city, so the pilots can display and discuss the aircraft with reporters, students, engineers and aviation fans. It plans to reach New York's Kennedy Airport in early July without using a drop of fuel, its creators said.
PHOENIX (AP) -- The creators of Solar Impulse -- considered the world's most-advanced sun-powered plane -- say their cross-country journey will mark a milestone in aviation history.
But more importantly, Bertrand Piccard and Andre Borschberg hope it will boost interest in the potential of renewable energy technology.
Piccard said Saturday there's so much people can do now to have a cleaner future.
Piccard is fresh off a 20-hour flight from San Francisco to Phoenix, marking the first leg of the trip across the U.S. in the solar airplane. Piccard landed the craft at Sky Harbor Airport at about 12:30 a.m., having used only three-quarters of the plane's battery power.
From Phoenix, the aircraft will travel to Dallas-Fort Worth airport in Texas, Lambert-St. Louis airport, Dulles airport in the Washington area and New York's John F. Kennedy airport. Each flight leg will take about 19 to 25 hours, with 10-day stops in each city.
(earlier story follows)
Flying for several hours after sundown, a solar-powered airplane landed in Phoenix early Saturday morning on the first leg of a cross-country trip.
The Solar Impulse -- considered the world's most-advanced sun-powered plane -- set down about 12:30 a.m. at Sky Harbor Airport, completing part of a journey that its pilot described as a "milestone" in aviation history.
Its creators said the trip is the first attempt by a solar airplane capable of flying day and night without fuel to fly across America.
The plane left Moffett Field in Mountain View near San Francisco just after dawn Friday.
Video posted on the expedition's website showed a smiling pilot Bertrand Piccard shortly after landing, as he waved to well-wishers and held up a flag emblazoned with the Solar Impulse name.
"It's a little bit like being in a dream," Piccard said as he stepped on the tarmac.
From Phoenix, the aircraft will travel to Dallas-Fort Worth airport in Texas, Lambert-St. Louis airport, Dulles airport in the Washington area and New York's John F. Kennedy airport. Each flight leg will take about 19 to 25 hours, with 10-day stops in each city.
"All the big pioneers of the 20th century have tried to fly coast to coast across America," Piccard, one of the plane's founders, said before the flight. "So now today we're trying to do this, but on solar power with no fuel with the first airplane that is able to fly day and night just on solar power."
The plane is powered by about 12,000 photovoltaic cells that cover massive wings and charge its batteries.
The delicate, single-seat Solar Impulse flies around 40 mph and can't go through clouds. It weighs about as much as a car, making it vulnerable to bad weather.
Its creators said solar planes will never replace fuel-powered commercial flights. But the goal is to showcase the potential of solar power.
"What we look for is to have a new milestone in this very exciting history of aviation that can attract interest of the people, of the political world, of the media and show that with renewable energies and clean technology for energy efficiency, we can achieve impossible things," Piccard said.
The plane has previously impressed audiences in Europe.

DOE to Invest $24 Million in Three Wind Energy Research Facilities
October 21, 2009
DOE announced on October 15 its selection of three university-led wind energy research facilities to receive $24 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds over the next two years. Located in Illinois, Maine, and Minnesota, the trio of institutions were selected competitively to conduct research and development on utility-scale and prototype wind turbines, with the goal of improving the performance and reliability of both land-based and offshore wind turbines. The funds will also enable the institutions to provide educational opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students in wind energy technologies.
The Illinois Institute of Technology will perform tests on a 1.5-megawatt General Electric wind turbine. The one shown here is located at the Forward Wind Energy Center in Wisconsin. Enlarge this image.
The awardees include Chicago's Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT), which will receive up to $8 million to install a test turbine at an existing wind farm in rural Illinois. The 1.5-megawatt General Electric wind turbine will be used to study advanced concepts for wind turbine control, robust sensors for blades, and innovative models to improve wind turbine performance and reliability. The University of Minnesota will take a similar approach, drawing on up to $8 million to install a 2.3-megawatt Siemens wind turbine, which will be used to investigate novel systems for mechanical power transmission and electric power generation. The new turbine will be close to an existing wind farm, allowing the university to study how it interacts with the wake caused by the nearby turbines.
Meanwhile, the University of Maine will investigate offshore wind power, receiving up to $8 million to design and deploy two 10-kilowatt wind turbine prototypes and one 100-kilowatt prototype to be mounted on floating offshore platforms. The university's plan includes optimizing the designs for floating platforms by evaluating durable, lighter, hybrid composite materials, while also determining the requirements and logistics for manufacturing and deploying the platforms. See the DOE press release and DOE's Wind and Hydropower Technologies Program.

Activating or Replacing Your kajeet Phone
December 9, 2011
If you made someone's holiday merrier by purchasing a kajeet cell phone for the holidays, or if you received one, the first thing you need to do is to activate your phone. Kajeet phones can be activated entirely online! Need help? Just reference our FAQs below:
What is "activation?"
Prior to use, each kajeet account needs to be set up with parent (or guardian) information and assigned a phone number. Once you activate your phone, you will automatically be enrolled in the rate plan you chose when the phone was purchased.
The phone I want to activate is for a NEW kajeet user (someone who has not had a kajeet phone before). What do I do?
Activating your kajeet phone is easy! Click here to get started. Be sure to have the kajeet phone you are activating with you, as you will need information found on the handset for the first step.
I'm already a kajeet customer. I want to transfer my current kajeet service to a new/different phone. What do I do?
To switch your current service to a new phone (for an existing kajeet user), just follow these steps:
1. Log into kajeet here.
2. Go to your Account Summary page. Scroll down the page to access the "Add a Phone" tab, as shown below.
3. Click on the "Add a Phone" tab. You will see an option that reads "Replace a Phone." Click on the link right underneath (the one we circled below).
4. You will be asked to select the phone you would like to replace/upgrade (in the event you have multiple phones on your account) and for the ESN or MEID of your phone (be sure to have your new kajeet phone handy during this process!).
What if I am moving/porting my existing cell phone number to kajeet?
You will need to contact kajeet Customer Care if you are porting (moving) a number from another cell phone service provider to kajeet. Have a copy of your bill and/or account login information with you when you contact kajeet Customer Care.

Great news for Part D beneficiaries as it nears its 10 year anniversary
Medicare Part D's 10 Year Anniversary Shows More Savings
08.01.13 | By
As we approach the 10 year anniversary of Part D being signed into law, more good news recently came out of CMS about the program. Their data showed that average monthly premiums are projected to stay stable at $31 for the 2014 plan year. Additionally, the Part D deductible will decrease from $325 to $310 next year – creating more savings for beneficiaries.
Part D continues to achieve this success because of its unique market-based structure. Part D plans compete against one another to negotiate discounts and rebates from biopharmaceutical manufacturers, which helps drive down costs. This competitive approach has put program spending on track to come in 45 percent less than initial 10-year projections and achieve a very high satisfaction rate amongst its beneficiaries – 94 percent, to be exact.
In honor of its upcoming anniversary, check out our Part D page to find out more about how this program is helping seniors and disabled Americans access the medicines they need at affordable prices.

An attempt to re-dock an unmanned Russian Progress M-15M supply ship with the International Space Station (ISS) failed Tuesday morning due to some technical problems, Russia's Mission Control Center (MCC) said.
The auto-docking maneuvere between the space station and the cargo vessel was aborted when a new rendezvous system failed to operate as expected.
Little is known about the specific cause of the failure and Russian scientists are trying to analyze the problem.
"Experts of an emergencies group are analyzing the situation and they will provide recommendations on what should be done next," Russia's federal space agency Roscosmos said Tuesday.
The spacecraft was at a safe distance from the ISS when the self-abort mode took hold at about 8:23 p.m. It will make another docking attempt on Saturday or Sunday after the scheduled arrival of the Japanese HTV-3 cargo ship on Friday.
Reattempt docking
The Progress cargo vehicle had arrived at the ISS in April. It undocked from the station's Pirs module on Sunday afternoon to perform tests on a new KURS rendezvous antenna which is designed to help future dockings of cargo ships to the space station.
"Docking was aborted...when the new KURS-NA automatic rendezvous system, which was being tested tonight, was set to be activated," said Dan Huot, NASA's mission control commentator. "A failure of an unknown nature occurred and caused the Progress's on-board computers to self abort and put the spacecraft into a passive abort trajectory."
The spacecraft was at a safe distance from the ISS when the self-abort mode took hold at about 8:23 p.m. It will make another docking attempt on Saturday or Sunday after the scheduled arrival of the Japanese HTV-3 cargo ship on Friday.
"As of right now, Russian ground controllers (are) indicating the next attempt for this Progress to dock to the International Space Station is likely to be this upcoming weekend, after that HTV-3 vehicle is berthed," Huot said. "But that final decision has not been made yet."
6 people on space station
The Progress freighter has not posed any threat to the ISS and its crew members.
There are currently six people on the space station, which orbits 350 kilometres above the Earth and occupied by international researchers.
American Sunita Williams, Japan's Akihiko Hoshide and Russia's Yury Malenchenko joined Russians Gennady Padalka and Sergei Revin and US astronaut Joseph Acaba this month.

TRACY - A boy was shot when shots were fired at a party in Tracy on Saturday morning, police said. There were no details on the boy's condition.
Officers were called to the 2000 block of Redbridge Road about 2:55 a.m. Saturday on a report of gunshots at a party involving dozens of teenagers, said Sgt. Tony Sheneman of the Tracy Police Department. One boy suffered a gunshot wound and was taken to the hospital, Sheneman said.
Officers at the scene described "a great deal of confusion" and "conflicting statements" at the scene, and there was no description of the shooter, but the investigation is ongoing, Sheneman said.

CAIRO (WOMENSENEWS)--In the Arab world, female football (soccer in U.S.) players and their coaches are celebrating the transformation of a two-year trial period for wearing the hijab, or headdress, during sporting events into a final regulation change in early March.
Mohammed Kamal, the manager of the Wadi Degla academy in South Cairo, has been looking forward to this decision by the international football association, FIFA, based in Zurich.
"Before, there was a kind of injustice since some of our players wearing hijab used to participate in the training, but couldn't be part of some competitions," Kamal said in an interview conducted in Arabic and held on a playing field at the academy. "From now on, they will not stay on the sidelines anymore."
His academy, which wears yellow and black, currently trains 200 girls and is regarded as the national laboratory for Egyptian female football.
He says the ruling fits with the heterogeneous nature of Egyptian society and young female players. "Egypt is like Cameroon or Nigeria," said Kamal, "a sport country which always produces talents. Among our girls here in Wadi Degla, we have Muslims, Christians, whites or blacks, girls wearing scarves or not. Basically, football is against any kind of discrimination."
Here in the most populous country of the Middle East, the final regulation change will enable many more female players to emerge, said Sarah Abdallah, a defender on Egypt's national female team.
"I believe that wearing the hijab is a personal freedom," Abdallah said in an interview at Wadi Degla. "FIFA's decision gives us the opportunity to fulfill our ultimate dream as a footballer, which is to play one day in the World Cup."
On March 1, FIFA quietly ended a two-year trial period and lifted the ban on headdresses in a few sports, including women's football. The new guidelines say the headdress should match the color of the jersey, which should have long sleeves. For safety reasons, pins are forbidden.
Pivotal Move
The move is considered pivotal for women's football in the entire Middle East as it means Gulf teams, formerly always absent because they require Islamic attire, will be playing.
In 2016, for instance, the United Arab Emirates plans to have a team in the global competition for female teams with players under the age of 17, the U-17 World Cup. The games will be played in Jordan, the first country in the Middle East-North Africa region to host the under-17 competition, first held in New Zealand in 2008.
While warmly received in the Middle East, the new regulation is criticized in France, where critics say it could impose constraints on players whose parents will now want them to wear the hijab since it's allowed.
Engy Atteya, captain of Egypt's national female team, brushes aside such concerns, saying most players have already learned to set their own rules inside their families.
"We shouldn't have any fear for that," Atteya said in an interview translated from Arabic and conducted at the Wadi Degla academy. "We are totally free, because most of us had to make our own revolution in our families at the beginning, so they could accept to let us play football. That was the most difficult hurdle with being accepted by the society."
Following FIFA's historic statement, the French Football Association reaffirmed its rule against players wearing the scarf. That decision goes beyond France's borders and affects players in countries such as Egypt where girls can be recruited to European teams.
'It Will Take Time'
"Each country has its own rules and its own understanding of the facts, like France who is against the hijab" said Sahar Al Hawary, a committee member of FIFA who spoke with Women's eNews at the Egypt Football Association's headquarters building in Zamalek, central Cairo. "But I think when they will see that every country in Europe abides by FIFA's new regulation, because it is about development, France might follow. But it will take time."
Many Arab players hope France will change its mind in time for the 2016 U-17 World Cup in Jordan.
The decision to allow the headdress was driven by FIFA's interest in boosting the number of girls playing football, said FIFA's Al Hawary. "So the international board of football had to deal with the ongoing situation and then began to discuss the hijab two or three years ago, especially when Prince Ali from Jordan joined the committee."
In 2011 Jordan was supposed to host Iran's women's team for the 2012 Olympic qualifiers. However, the match was never played because Iran's players showed up wearing the headdress, which broke FIFA regulations. FIFA wound up disqualifying Iran's female team from the Olympics, triggering an international incident.
Female players in Egypt started breaking into the all-male football scene in 2006, after the country hosted and won the African Cup of Nations. Throughout the tournament, stadiums were packed and drew thousands of women.
In big cities such as Cairo and Alexandria, or in Upper Egypt villages like in El Sohag, girls started playing and the sport rapidly spread and became institutionalized. Today the country's national female league has seven regional teams.

Captain's Report by Captain John Wenz
Doral started building fiberglass boats back in the fifties, so this isn't some newcomer. They've focused primarily on the Canadian market, but more recently the word has been getting around about how exceptional its boats are. And while it is a boutique builder, these days Doral is selling boats in something like 25 countries.
Let's face it: the eighteen to twenty foot bowrider class has been around for a while. So as a builder, you can't expect to sell much in the way of a "breakthrough" here if you expect to be competitive in terms of price point. Things like the ride, the fit and finish, and the feel you get when you're aboard are what distinguish one builder from the other. That's where the Doral 185 Sunquest makes its mark.
A full complement of quality instruments is topped off by a classy mahogany wheel.
The 185 Sunquest sports a standard bowrider layout. The details are where Doral shines.
Full width storage under the aft cockpit bench seat.
Bow seating is comfortable, with room to stretch your legs. The upholstery is well executed.
Doral's 185 Sunquest delivers a solid ride.
The optional swim platform allows lots of room for lounging or getting set up for water sports.
A Pad for Speed
Weighing in at 2,250 lbs, the hull features an 18- degree deadrise, with a pad on the centerline aft.
Our test location was on a freshwater lake in central Florida. There was a light breeze blowing, so there was a little chop. With two of us on board, she took off out of the hole in 4.5 seconds.
Visibility from the helm is at least as good as anything I've seen in this class, and even with the 3.0L 135 hp Merc Alpha we were rocketing right along at a top speed of just over 42 mph. I could feel the boat accelerate when I trimmed the drive up. We calculated an optimal cruise speed to be 33.6 mph burning 9.1 gph for a range of 76 miles.
Our test model reached over 40 mph with the 135 Merc Alpha.
One word of caution here: If you look at this class as "entry level" in respect to price or size, remember that no boat in this class with this size engine will be able to handle the entire family, grandma, grandpa, and two cousins and then climb out of the hole pulling a waterskier. If that's what you're looking for, think bigger and more horsepower. If you are looking for a safe and secure boat for the family, the cockpit depth here is enough to make you feel well surrounded.
High-Speed Handling
In the high speed turn test, I did notice the effect of the flat pad. I tend to be a bit more aggressive when it comes to putting the boat through her paces, and this day was no exception. There's no keel to bite, so we did seem to skip a bit through the turns when I cranked it over. However, the flat also seemed to provide an advantage in speed up on plane. In reality, you probably won't be doing much high-speed maneuvering. Given the way most boaters run a boat in this class, I'd conclude that the gain in speed seems worth the small sacrifice in high-speed turning ability.
An impressive little package with an MSRP under $30,000 as tested.
When it comes to those intangibles, like the feel you get on board, the 185 Sunquest has got it in spades. Construction is well executed, and I didn't notice any jiggles and rattles when I was running hard out in the chop. All in all, Doral's 185 Sunquest bowrider is a good value that will make you proud wherever you do your boating.

DURHAM, N.C. – Despite trailing for only 17 seconds, the Eastern Kentucky University men's basketball team had to fight until the final minute to earn a 63-57 victory over North Carolina Central University in the Colonels' first road game of the 2012-13 season.
At 8-0, Eastern Kentucky is off to its best start in 66 years. The last time EKU started a season with more than five wins was in 1946-47 when the "Maroons" won their first 11 games.
Mike DiNunno scored a game-high 21 points for the Colonels. He hit seven of his 12 shots from the field and 4-of-6 from behind the arc. Glenn Cosey added 11 points, a team-best seven rebounds, four assists and four steals.
Jeremy Ingram led the Eagles (5-5) with 18 points.
EKU trailed briefly in the first half but never led by more than 10 points. Cosey, who entered the game as the third leading scorer in the Ohio Valley Conference, had only two points before hitting back-to-back three-pointers with about five minutes left in the game. He pushed a four-point advantage to 10 with 3:22 left to play.
North Carolina Central answered with four straight to keep it close. The Eagles began fouling in the final minute and a half. The Colonels made just enough free throws, 8-for-12, to secure the victory.
Eastern Kentucky was out-rebounded by 19 but out-scored NCCU 32-14 off turnovers. The Eagles gave it away 22 times compared to only 10 for the Colonels. EKU limited the home team to 14 percent (1-for-7) shooting from three-point range.
The Colonels will be on the road again on Saturday when they play at Chattanooga. Tip-off against the Mocs is scheduled for 7 p.m.

About the Book
"Michael Adams's book is great fun! No one intends to make a truly bad movie, but when they do, Michael Adams will be there to watch it...and make it entertaining!" —John Landis, director of Trading Places and The Blues Brothers
In Showgirls, Teen Wolves, and Astro Zombies, film critic Michael Adams embarks on a year-long odyssey to discover the worst movie ever made, which Mystery Science Theater 3000 star, writer, and director Kevin Murphy calls "disturbingly comprehensive, joyously critical, and the best of its kind." From all-time cult classics such as Reefer Madness and Plan 9 from Outer Space to new entries to the pantheon such as Gigli and Baby Geniuses, no genre, star, or director is safe from Adams's acerbic wit and hilarious observations. In the vein of A.J. Jacobs's New York Times bestselling book The Know-It-All, and with the snarky sarcasm of television's Mystery Science Theater 3000 and The Soup, Showgirls, Teen Wolves, and Astro Zombies leaves no stone unturned. With a foreword by cult director George A. Romero (Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead).
Showgirls or Spice World?
Reefer Madness or Robot Monster?
battlefield Earth or The Black Gestapo?
One reviewer's relentless search for the most appalling abomination ever to disgrace the screen—at the rate of one movie a day . . . for a year!
For every cinematic classic the studios have released, there have been dozens of cheesy monstrosities, overpriced flops, and schlocky epics. Rampaging robots, bouncing bimbos, moronic martial artists, vapid vampires, troubled teens, barbaric bikers, and idiotic infants—all of these, and more, have been foisted on us in the name of "entertainment." And entertaining they are—for all the wrong reasons!
Featuring a cast of thousands, including A-listers like Brad Pitt and Sandra Bullock in their Z-grade origins, and firsthand interviews with bad-movie aficionados, from Leonard Maltin and David Sedaris to John Waters and Eli Roth, this odyssey charts one intrepid critic's attempt to maintain a normal family life and two day jobs as he watches hundreds of dreadful tapes and DVDs in every conceivable genre. Even movie buffs will be surprised by what they can learn as they laugh out loud at the worst of the worst.
With a foreword by revered Night of the Living Dead director George A. Romero, Showgirls, Teen Wolves, and Astro Zombies is an unforgettable journey deep into film's forbidden vault of irredeemable crud. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Critical Praise
"Michael Adams' book is great fun! No one intends to make a truly bad movie, but when they do, Michael Adams will be there to watch it...and make it entertaining." — John Landis, director of Trading Places and The Blues Brothers
"Michael Adams is the Peter Biskind of really crappy movies. I thank him for watching these films so I didn't have to claw my eyes out myself." — A.J. Jacobs, New York Times bestselling author of The Know-It-All and The Year of Living Biblically
"Like many of the bad movies it celebrates, this book is addictive, mesmerizing and endlessly amusing." — Harry Medved, co-author of The Golden Turkey Awards and The Fifty Worst Films of All Time
"Reading Michael Adams' entertaining and disturbingly comprehensive book is like being dragged through the fun parts of Hell in a flame-proof suit. Having had both hands in the cesspools of cinema for over twenty years, I can say with confidence that this book is the best of its kind: a joyously critical, deeply personal journey through a medium we love to hate almost as much as we love to love." — Kevin Murphy, co-star/writer of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and author of A Year At the Movies

Exercise and Cancer
Exercise can help control fatigue, muscle tension, and anxiety in those with cancer. Patients tend to feel better if they do exercises such as walking or swimming. Exercise has also been shown to improve the outcomes associated with cancer treatment.
Mind/Body Medicine for Cancer
Some mind/body therapies improve quality of life for cancer patients through behavior modification; others encourage expression of emotions. Behavior therapies such as guided imagery, progressive muscle relaxation, hypnotherapy, and biofeedback are used to alleviate pain, nausea, vomiting, and the anxiety that may occur in anticipation of, or after, cancer treatment. Individual or group counseling allows patients to confront problems and emotions caused by cancer and receive support from fellow patients in a group setting. Patients who pursue these types of therapies tend to feel less lonely, less anxious about the future, and more optimistic about recovery.
Nutrition, Diet, and Cancer
Scientific evidence suggests that nutrition may play a role in cancer prevention. Observational studies have shown that cancer is more common in some people with certain dietary habits -- such as colorectal cancer in people who have diets rich in meat products. So far, data has not supported the use of any vitamins or supplements to decrease the risk of cancer. In fact, studies show some supplements may increase cancer risk, such as lung cancer risk in smokers taking beta carotene and prostate cancer risk in men taking high doses of vitamin E.
No diet has been shown to slow, reverse, or cure cancer.
Also, experts don't recommend stopping standard treatment in place of complementary medicine, but many therapies can help people with cancer feel better.
Acupuncture and Acupressure
Acupuncture and acupressure are examples of "complementary" medicine for cancer. While neither claims to cure the disease, some evidence shows that they help reduce symptoms and side effects of the illness and its treatment.

I wonder how many of us ever thought about this. Do we really proactively seek out to have a great relationship with our coach? I feel like sometimes we play against the current and fight tooth and nail not to like our coach.
Is it because he/she might yell at us? Or criticize our play at times?
Is it because we may disagree with him/her? How many times have you turned your back and rolled your eyes at your coach during practice after they stopped the play to do their job and correct the minor thing you did wrong?
You must understand that coaches cannot accept mediocrity from you, because that means they accept mediocrity from themselves…not setting up your cut correctly in practice may seem minor at the time but come game time that can result in not getting a decent shot off, you add up 3 or 4 of those per game, you're leaving points on the floor.
As a player, take your relationship with your coach seriously. Meaningful relationships last past the 4 years you play for him/her and it's important for you to understand how to build, manage and create a meaningful, trustworthy relationship with your coach.
Think about it…if you're a high school senior trying to play college ball somewhere, guess who just may know someone and recommend you? Your coach.
Think about it…if you're a college senior looking to get a job right after graduation, guess who may know the hiring manager at the consulting firm down the street? Your coach.
I have written down 6 key things you can do to have the type of relationship you want and need with your current coach.
Be Reliable
Being reliable extends beyond the hardwood; can your coach depend on you to go to class? Can he trust you to help guide the younger players? Does he trust that you are training hard this off season or does he have to micro-manage your day to day activities?
I spoke to a few of my ex-coaches this weekend and asked; what's the biggest detriment they have seen over the years, honesty was number 1. Coaches get lied too constantly, whether it's about when you tell them you went to class but didn't, or when you got detention and told them it wasn't your fault or when you lied to them about being late for practice. Respect your coach enough to always be honest with them, in the end lying will only make it worse and damage the relationship. Think about it, if you get told something that isn't true isn't it hard for you to ever trust that person again? Remember that next time you lie.
Show up on time
Ever heard of Lombardi time? Start doubling that! Nothing agitates a coach more than a kid showing up late. Don't ever let it happen, not once. Being late is a slap in the face to the coach's vision, discipline and long-term strategy with your team. Personally, there is nothing worse in my book then a kid showing up late. If you don't drive, make sure you have a ride the night before, get a bike, walk – I don't care, show up 20-30min before you have to be there.
Promote the program, when you win a big game and talking to the media; give a shout out to your coach and his play calling. Coaches like to hear you have their back and are aware they know what they are doing. It could be as simple as telling your Father in the car ride home how you thought coach did a good job today.
Always keep an open and honest line of communication with your coach. Set weekly meetings with him/her. Most coaches (if not all) have an "open door" policy – take advantage of that. If you're struggling with remembering a few plays, ask them to stay after with you and watch film or walk you through them for 5minutes after practice. If academics are tough at the time, let your coach know – maybe he/she can get you a tutor or extra help. Also know, communication is a 2-way street, sometimes it just takes genuinely listening and applying what you hear.
Take pride in your work
Coaches can see right through "fake-hustle" and notice pure passion from the start. If you take pride in your work, the coach is going to take pride in your work, that's when you start maximizing your talent.
They got your back:
If you do these 6 simple things, your coach will have your back. Is there anything better as a player when you take the ball hard to the rack, get fouled but nothing gets called and you hear your coaching sticking up for you? It makes you play harder for him/her, right? It gives you more confidence as a player to know that your coach is going to support you no matter what.
In the end, it's not worth going against the grain of your coach, embrace his/her philosophy, build a meaningful relationship with them and get the most out of your time in their program.
Now, I do need to address that unfortunately at the junior high and high school level (and even in college) there are a few instances of just having a bad coach. This happens, and you got the raw end of the deal here.
Does it suck, yeah it does. But you can only control what you do, how you act and what you say. It could be as simple as not being the right fit, physically or personally, that's okay it happens the key is to know when it's not working and try something different. But remember, don't burn any bridges and still be respectful.

I have a curious case. Video plays fine, however, the sound cuts out every 9-10 minutes. I thought it was because of the sleep timer on my PC, however, that is disabled. If anyone could help, I would appreciate it. Use to work fine, but now I cannot figure out what configuration somewhere on my system has changed that is causing the problem. Details are below:
Version: v1.11.335 (does the same thing with 1.10.51)
PC: Dual Core, Vista 32, 3mb RAM, 50gig avail
Network: Using gigabyte LAN. PS3 is hard wired thru Dlink gigabyte LAN (DIR 655)
Note: Using mencoder with a .mkv file. Problem occurs regardless of the .mkv file I use. I also tried different audio bitrates (i.e. 384 and 640).
I mailed the debug log file to firstname.lastname@example.com..........
I would appreciate any help.

— At Tuesday night's meeting of the Waymart Borough Council, Adam Curtis spoke about his Eagle Scout project that he's working on. During January's meeting he and his brother Zach were looking for council approval for their proposed Eagle Scout projects.
Adam will be working with the baseball association to refurbish the flag pole near the lower baseball field at R.D. Wilson Elementary School, next to the Waymart Ambulance. The project was approved last month but he needed written approval to include with his Eagle Scout portfolio for the project.
The flag pole is between 55 and 60 feet tall. Adam plans to restore it to a "suitable condition," which includes taking off the rust. He will also be putting a concrete base with two supporting beams at the bottom of the pole. He said the plan is to put it next to the new scoreboard.
The council asked if there was going to be a light on the flag pole. Adam said he and the baseball association are "discussing what to do," but that it's possible to connect a light for the pole, to the same system as the scoreboard.
Along with Dan Carnick from the baseball association, Adam is also working with Rocky Edwards and scouts and families of his troop. The council approved writing a letter giving him approval for the project, and to let him move forward with the project.
Other news
AJ Gaudenzi said they started the project on Rockwell Lane, where a new street light will be added. It will be green aluminum, just like the ones that were put up on Brookside Road, and it will be angled toward Honesdale Road so the light "won't shine in any houses." Weather permitting, the project should be done by March.
Lil Rollison is asking residents to sweep up the cinders in front of their homes once the weather is good again. She said that someone will come around and pick it up to get rid of it.
The council approved upcoming event dates for 2013 that the Parks and Recreation group is in charge of. They are as follows:
March 23-Easter egg hunt
June 15-Patriotism parade
July 26, 27- Waystock
Sept. 29-Chili cook off
Oct. 31-Halloween party
Dec. 15-Ornament hunt

ABC News is set to air a story on Ryan Ferguson, the man convicted of killing a Columbia Tribune sports editor, and his fight to prove his innocence. The story will air Thursday night at 11:35 p.m. CT on "Nightline."
Ryan Ferguson has spent almost a decade in a maximum security prison for a brutal murder he, and many others, insist he didn't commit. But finally, the 28-year-old believes he could be days away from getting a phone call that could set him free.
"It's hard to have much hope, at this point, in the justice system based on what they've done," he said. "It's scary knowing that they're not looking for the truth, they're looking for a conviction… I might never have a chance to get my life back again."
Ferguson's saga started nine years ago when he was in college. A former Eagle Scout growing up in Columbia, Mo., he was a popular kid and extremely close with his family.
"We did a lot of things together," said his father Bill Ferguson. "He was just really mellow and very friendly, got along with everybody."
But one day when Ryan was leaving class, police pulled him over and accused him of a vicious murder that had occurred three years earlier, in 2001, on Halloween night. The victim was Kent Heitholt, a beloved sports journalist, who had been found bludgeoned and strangled to death in the parking lot of the Columbia Daily Tribune, where he worked.
"I'm thinking, 'Well, I can obviously prove I had nothing to with that, so you know, question me for an hour and I go back,'" Ferguson said.
Police questioned Ferguson for hours and he never wavered in his insistence that he had nothing to do with the murder. But at the same time, a man named Charles Erickson, one of Ferguson's classmates, was in another interrogation room down the hall, telling police that he and Ferguson had committed the crime and that it had been Ferguson's idea. Erickson said the pair had been out together on that Halloween night when Heitholt was killed.
"We had a few drinks, hung out and then when the bar closed, you know, I took Erickson home and that was pretty much the night, like any other Halloween," Ferguson is heard telling police on interrogation tapes.
Erickson, who had a history of substance abuse, had started telling people before Ferguson was a suspect that he had dreamt he had been at the crime scene the night of the murder. Ferguson said one night, Erickson showed up inebriated at a friend's house while Ferguson was there and started talking about it.
"He starts asking me if I know about him having anything to do with the murder of Kent Heitholt," Ferguson recalled. "And I'm looking at him, I'm like, 'I don't know anything about that man, I know I took you home that night but you even saying that is incredibly strange and it's kind of freaking me out,' so, you know, pretty much, 'get away from me.'"
When Erickson was interrogated by police in 2004, the interrogation tapes showed that he seemed confused and didn't seem to know how the murder occurred or even the kind of murder weapon used.
"I think it was a shirt or something," Erickson is heard saying on police interrogation tapes when he went with police to the crime scene.
"I know it wasn't a shirt," an officer said.
"Maybe a bungee cord?" Erickson replied.
"Well, we know for a fact that his belt was ripped off of his pants and he was strangled with his belt," an officer said. "Does that ring a bell?"
When Erickson replied, "No," an officer then asked, "you didn't put anything in your hand then?"
"No," Erickson said. "I don't remember that at all."
But detectives became aggressive during their interrogation and Erickson eventually claimed he and Ferguson had run out of drinking money and decided to rob someone.
At the seven-week-long trial in 2004, Erickson somehow knew all the details that had eluded him during the interrogation and was the star witness against Ryan Ferguson.
"He was down here and he had a belt, and he had his foot on his back on the victim's back and he was pulling up on the belt," Erickson testified in court.
His detailed account was supported by the testimony of a janitor named Jesse Trump, who identified Ferguson as one of the two men he saw in the parking lot immediately after the murder.
Erickson and Trump's testimony held up the case against Ferguson. None of the DNA collected at the scene -- the footprints and fingerprints -- matched Ryan Ferguson's, but the testimony was enough for the jury to convict him. Erickson was also convicted and sentenced to 25 years.
"It reminded me of playing freshman football and getting the breath knocked out of me," Bill Ferguson said. "It was surreal, I just couldn't believe it."
Five years after that 2004 conviction, Ferguson seemingly got a break. Two weeks after Kathleen Zellner, an attorney who has won many wrongful conviction cases, agreed to take on Ferguson's case pro-bono, Ferguson received a letter in prison from Erickson, asking for Ferguson's attorneys to meet with him.

Pittsburgh, PA: City of Champions.
He is only calling out the nitwits who want to lay this all on Tomlin and have him fired not all Steelers fans. The truth is core of that group are the ones who didn't want him hired in the first place. They just have a reason now to come out of the shadows and express what they have always wanted.
Fact is, the NFL acknowledges that Tomlin is probably definitely in the Top 10 of coaches in the NFL. He isn't going anywhere because the Rooneys also know it and could care less what some fans think. Tomlin will have at least a 10 year run as head coach and maybe even more.
Is it possible that some of it is being misread? Questioning the leadership climate in the locker room is far different from asking for Tomlin's head on a platter.
Many of us are not calling for Tomlin to be gone. That wasn't represented by Peter King.

there are plenty of sensible, level-headed Steelers fans who don't want Mike Tomlin fired and fully realize that with all of the injuries we've had this season that it's totally understandable that we're 7-7.
it's just that those posts don't get noticed like the sensational ones do...
****e, all you have to do is look at his career winning percentage and two super bowl appearances to see........
he's a terrible coach who has only won with Cowher's player. GO COWHER!

A few comments are not the voice of Steeler Nation. This guy is taking something and trying to run with it and I find it to be cheap sensationalism. Does he really expect all Steler fans to hold hands and have group hugs over the losses ? Yeah, we complain and vent but, we back the team and coaches each week. This is our fun, these sports, the commercialism of it and all that makes it work is because of us fans. He wouldn't have a job, the teams wouldn't be without us fans so he should just love that we as fans have our ups and downs about a kids game played by adults.

7 Signs You're Ready to Get Married
On lucky nights, a Hollywood hottie, like Ryan Gosling, might make a guest appearance. While celeb sex dreams could just be mental candy your brain has cooked up for fun, there's probably more to it. "To singles, it's a reminder that amazing prospects are out there, and it also clues you in to the kind of man you want," says Garfield. If you're already one half of a twosome, it may point to a yearning for a trait your guy lacks or—if you're blissfully content—affirm you've scored with a star-quality man.
10 Things to Do When You Meet the Parents

SAN FRANCISCO -- The 49ers offense couldn't afford to be normal. Nickel-and-diming wasn't going to be enough. Apparently that truth was not lost on San Francisco's play-callers.
Phil Dawson made the game-winner. Frank Gore was the hero. The defense was the defense. But the difference in Sunday's 19-17 critical home win over Seattle was Jim Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Greg Roman shedding some of their conservative tendencies.
They didn't exactly take the handcuffs off. But they certainly loosened them enough to open up some things on offense. With pride on the line, facing a team that's owned them the last two meetings, the 49ers became more assertive on offense.
About. Time.
"I thought we were," Harbaugh said. "I thought we were aggressive."
That's the necessary mindset when you're in the 49ers' position. San Francisco (9-4) already has lost whatever it could be trying to preserve -- the division crown, home-field advantage, aura as an NFC power -- with a conservative offense. You don't win tough, December football games playing timidly. The George McFly approach won't cut it.
Especially with all the weapons back, they've got to be takers. And they were Sunday, for the most part. Definitely more than they have been in the past.
Sure, several moments throughout the game reeked of same ol' Niners. But when playoff hopes hung in the balance, when yards had to be gobbled up, the brain trust erred on the side of let's-go-take-it.
This wasn't going to be one of those games the 49ers defense could win despite the offense. Seattle (11-2) is too good. The 49ers were going to have to move the ball, put some points on the board, win time of possession. And that was going to take some doing from the game-planners.
An assist goes to the staff for opening up the playbook, especially in the first half. They stretched out the Seahawks defense. They used the whole field. They ran sweeps and play-actions and designed running plays for Colin Kaepernick and wide receiver picks and took shots down field. It was a welcomed sight for 49ers fans who have grown tired of three-and-out parades.
"The offense was open," Gore, who had his first 100-yard game since Week 6, said with a smile. "We used just about everything."
It was the kind of creativity and versatility needed to break the spell the Seahawks defense had on the 49ers offense. The 49ers walked away with 318 yards against a Seahawks defense that had held opponents to a league-low 284 yards. The 49ers' 19 first downs Sunday were two above their average.
And the last two were the most important.
After Seattle took advantage of a short field and converted the go-ahead field goal, the 49ers found themselves in desperate need of a scoring drive. On first down at their own 31, with 4:21 left in the game, the 49ers dialed up a perfect call.
They didn't ram Gore into the line and prays he squeezes through. They pulled out a pulling, sweeping special, putting Gore in space with blockers ahead of him, taking advantage of his great vision and interior quickness.
Gore broke it for 51 yards.
"G-Ro had been saving that call in his back pocket and picked the exact right time to call it," Harbaugh said after the game. "And Frank executed it."
It looked as if the 49ers, in position for the go-ahead score, were about to go all conservative and set up Dawson for the game winner. Back-to-back runs to nowhere had the 49ers facing a difficult third down against a Seattle defense fighting for its life. You just knew they were going to run it in the middle, get it to the center of the field, settle for the field goal.
This has been the 49ers offense most of the year. Keeping it simple. Protecting the ball.
Small problem: More than three minutes remained on the clock.
But on this day, the play-callers were game. Harbaugh and Roman decided to go for the first down and eat more clock. Quarterback sweep to the left. Kaepernick picked up the crucial first down on the same play, per Joe Staley, that paved the way for Alex Smith's TD run in the playoff shootout against the Saints two seasons ago.
The 49ers didn't score a touchdown this time. They ended up with a game-winning field goal. But point is, they went for the gusto on that third-down call.
San Francisco fans can only hope this is the beginning. As Anquan Boldin said, every game is a playoff game from here on out. That's the kind of urgency the 49ers are playing with. They will need the same from the play-callers.

Thanks Mr H, I'd say the same. I really felt like we had the performance we've been lacking for a while (what do you reckon JL?) and it was a real team match. That won't stop Bale getting the headlines mind, but if it keeps bringing the performances and results I'm ok with that - based on the first half I might go with "InvisBale", they didn't mark him at all!
On The Man Who Steals The Headlines, David Pleat says:
"If you're a Tottenham supporter you want to be a bit disbelieving of Gareth Bale. I go to the Tottenham training ground a lot and he is very humble. He is not ready to move abroad but I don't think he will worry about the publicity his efforts are creating. I don't think he will disappear for the mega bucks."
Not sure I believe the 'Humble' bit, but I'll go with it.
oopps, a temporary brain malfunction, or at least I hope it is.
they must be flying to perform in la liga!

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has impacted higher education and the student health insurance industry. Insurance companies are no longer offering a voluntary/opt-in insurance product for schools to promote to students. Our current provider, United Healthcare, was only willing to contract with the school using a mandatory insurance plan option that required every student to be charged for the purchase of coverage unless they could otherwise prove they already carried personal health insurance. We performed exhaustive research on the Affordable Care Act and the student health insurance industry. We have come to the conclusion that a mandated insurance policy was not the best approach for our student body and have decided not to adopt a mandatory insurance plan/waiver policy at this time.
The resources linked below should be helpful for students who need to identify their options. Paying special attention to change of circumstance and qualifying life events will provide most students with the opportunity to obtain coverage prior to the next Health Insurance Marketplace open enrollment period which begins November 15.
Eligibility for coverage under a parent's employer insurance plan if you are under the age of 26
The US Department of Health and Human Services Healthcare Marketplace at www.healthcare.gov/marketplace
State specific online healthcare plan "shopping" sites such as www.ehealthinsurance.com
We encourage students to use these resources to enroll in an insurance plan that would bring them into compliance with federal law.
