LAKE TAHOE — Lake Tahoe inspectors intercepted two boats carrying invasive quagga mussels last week, according to a Tahoe Resource Conservation District press release.
On Aug. 2, officials stopped a boat at the Spooner Summit inspection station on Highway 50 with more than 50 quagga mussels on the transom, engine and engine intake system. The owner had notified inspectors that he was bringing the boat from Lake Mead and had already cleaned and decontaminated the boat, the release stated.
When Lake Tahoe watercraft inspectors found mussels still attached, they decontaminated the boat and put it on a week-long quarantine.
Inspectors found one live quagga mussel on the anchor line of a pleasure craft on Aug. 3 at the Meyers inspection station. According to the release, the boat had recently been in the Lake Havasu area.
"Inspectors with the Tahoe Resource Conservation District have intercepted at least 6 boats so far in 2012 with aquatic invasive species attached, including 5 boats carrying invasive quagga or zebra mussels and 1 boat potentially transporting New Zealand mudsnails," Tahoe RCD spokesperson Peter Brumis stated in the release.

SAN JOSE -- Some questions surrounding the Sharks started to come into focus Thursday with the news they could be close to full strength at forward for the playoffs.
Coach Todd McLellan said he is optimistic forward Raffi Torres will be ready to play in the postseason and added that the team will know more about forward Tomas Hertl's availability in the next day or two, pending medical reports.
McLellan also added he has established which of his goalies will start against the Los Angeles Kings in Game 1 of the playoffs next week but didn't divulge whether it was Antti Niemi or Alex Stalock.
The return of Torres and Hertl's potential availability for the postseason would give San Jose a major boost up front as it prepares to face the Kings in what figures to be a bruising first-round series. The Sharks are 8-5-2 since Torres' last game March 8 but are 3-4-2 since March 22.
Playing against the Kings also would offer a tantalizing opportunity for payback for Hertl, who was injured in a knee-on-knee collision with Los Angeles captain Dustin Brown in a Dec. 19 game.
Hertl, who had 25 points in 35 games before the injury, had knee surgery Dec. 31 to repair his posterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments.
Hertl, though, has made steady progress in recent weeks as he built up strength and skated with the team in practice.
"It's been a long time since Tomas has played as well," McLellan said, "so we're waiting for some doctors reports, and we'll go from there."
McLellan said Torres, out with soreness in his surgically repaired right knee, will not dress for either of the next two games as the Sharks host Colorado on Friday and play at Phoenix on Saturday to close the regular season.
Torres, injured Sept. 20 in a preseason game against Anaheim, made his season debut Feb. 27 but played just five games. Hertl traveled with the Sharks to Anaheim earlier this week, but Torres did not make the trip.
In the Sharks' 5-2 loss to the Ducks on Wednesday, Niemi started but was pulled in favor of Stalock in the second period after allowing three goals on 19 shots. Stalock stopped nine of 10 shots. Anaheim's last goal was an empty-netter with 1:38 left in the third period.
After Wednesday's game, McLellan was noncommittal when asked if Niemi was still "his guy" going into the playoffs, saying only the 2013 Vezina Trophy finalist was "one of our guys."
McLellan said Thursday he has confidence in both goalies.
"We know what we're doing, unless injury or something else comes into play," McLellan said Thursday of the goalie situation. "But they both have to be polished and ready to go."
McLellan said both Niemi and Stalock will see action in the final two regular-season games.
McLellan said he's been told the series with the Kings will begin as "early as Wednesday or as late as Friday."
"We don't know what our schedule looks like yet, so we don't want to have one or the other sitting for a long time," McLellan said. "So they'll both play this weekend, see action, and they'll both be prepared to play in the playoffs."

I was really in the mood for a reuben sandwich tonight, but after an afternoon snowshoeing on the lake with the family there was not enough time to make seitan. So I adapted the method from the tofu pancetta to make a corned beef-esque tofu. The result was very good. The texture was a bit different, of course, but the flavours were all there. This is a good option for those who shun fake meat.
- 1 cup water
- 4 tsp seasoned salt
- 4 tsp smoked paprika
- 5 whole cloves
- 1 tsp allspice
- 2 tsp dried mustard
- 5 dried juniper berries, lightly crushed

Papaya Yellow
(Papaw or Paw Paw, Mamao, Tree Melon) The papaya is believed to be native to southern Mexico and neighboring Central America. It is now present in every tropical and subtropical country. There are two types of papayas, Hawaiian and Mexican. The Hawaiian varieties are the papayas commonly found in supermarkets. These pear-shaped fruit generally weigh about 1 pound and have yellow skin when ripe. Papaya is a very good source of vitamins A and C The primary use of the papaya is as an edible fruit. It is usually eaten raw, without the skin or seeds. The unripe green fruit of papaya can be eaten cooked usually in curries, salads and stews. Papaya is rich in an enzyme called papain (a protease which is useful in tenderizing meat) and other proteins. Its utility is in breaking down the tough meat fibers and it has been utilized for thousands of years in its native South America. It is included as a component in powdered meat tenderizers. Papaya enzyme is also marketed in tablet form to remedy digestive problems.

"best roller shade ever"
By wife lets me do this from
Nice mechanism. Very neutral feel. Always retracts fully. Never slams up if you loose your grip. Almond 5% solar screen offers enough privacy at night and still re-radiates sunlight during the day. I'm very happy with this purchase and would order the same exact shade again. I ordered a matching roman shade for the living room.View this product

- Dylan Farrow vs. Woody Allen: Open letter in New York Times alleges sexual assault

- Mia and Ronan Farrow blast Woody Allen Golden Globes tribute
Barbara Walters is defending Woody Allen.
Only days after Allen's adopted daughter Dylan Farrow accused the director of sexually abusing her when she was 7 in an open letter to the New York Times, Walters came to Allen's defense on Monday's episode of "The View," according to the New York Daily News.
"I have rarely seen a father as sensitive, as loving and as caring as Woody is and Soon-Yi to these two girls (referring to the now married couple's daughters together.) I don't know about Dylan. I can only tell you what I have seen now," the 84-year-old TV personality said.
Jenny McCarthy pointed out that Dylan, the daughter of Allen's former partner, Mia Farrow, has "nothing to gain by coming out and saying this" 21 years later.
"She's doing it now because he's up for an (Oscar.) And so the question is: Does your personal life interfere with the awards that you may get?" Walters responded.
Co-host Sherri Shepherd argued, "We've heard so many cases of people going, 'He was the most wonderful person in the world. I would have never thought he would've ...'"
Walters interrupted Shepherd, "That's not what I'm saying."
"Barbara, when you say, 'I'm speaking from what I've seen,' there are so many things that go on behind closed doors. We also know that he was with Soon-Yi when she was very young. Mia had adopted this girl when she was young and Woody was around her. You've also got a man who's got a track record. He liked younger women," Shepherd said. "So it's not that far off."
"The fact that he likes 'younger women,' that has nothing to do with it," Walters said.
Shepherd raised her voice at Walters saying, "But they're not of age! Seventeen is not of age, Barbara."
Walters stated that Soon Yi and Allen's relationship was "mutual."
"It was his stepdaughter that he messed around with!" Shepherd said. "That was his stepdaughter!"
Allen's lawyer has denied the allegations against the 78-year-old filmmaker, blaming Farrow.
"It is tragic that after 20 years, a story engineered by a vengeful lover resurfaces after it was fully vetted and rejected by independent authorities," said Elkan Abramowitz, Allen's lawyer.
"The one to blame for Dylan's distress is neither Dylan nor Woody."

Jean Carriès produced this self-portrait in wax at the age of about 32. He is just as his friends describe him : fierce facial traits, a sombre gaze, tools in hand, felt hat permanently on his head…
Wax was one of his favourite materials. The Petit Palais has the good fortune to have kept six of his spectacular waxworks. Few sculptors of his time dared to use this material on such a scale for a completed work. The pattern of slits which is so clearly visible is in fact due to the material's age. The wax is dyed, partly stamped in a mould, partly modelled, and fixed onto a plaster and oakum core, or covers a base made of curved wood.
To make this highly realistic work, Carriès had casts taken of hands (maybe his own), his torso "with a smock and arms", which he undoubtedly reused here. But at the same time this is also a dream portrait. The artist is surrounded by the things that had meaning for him : a death mask called Carriès' Mother, a fantasy figure reminiscent of the imaginary busts he created, and already, two strange animals prefiguring those of the Monumental Door, his great unfinished work.
As a beautiful tribute by his friends, a bronze copy of this self-portrait can be seen at the artist's grave at the Père-Lachaise Cemetery.

Two years ago, plans of a new Laney High School stadium were surrounded by controversy as hundreds lost their homes to the project.
The project is now near completion, and many residents have had a change of heart.
Elizabeth Murray has lived in the Laney Walker area for nearly 30 years. Two years ago, her house was spared from a project that would build Laney High School's new athletic complex.
"It took a lot of people's homes!" she recalls. "And they had been here and had raised their children here, and some had been here fifty years or more."
And two years later there's a massive athletic complex, including a stadium with 9000 seats, soccer, baseball, and softball fields, and even a walking track.
It's something students are looking forward to.
"I see a lot of them go by here now and talk about it," Murray says. "They talk about 'I'm going to be playing ball over there', 'I'm going to do this'."
Many of the homeowners originally against building the stadium now say it's grown on them.
"It was a hurting thing, but you right, now you see it, think about it and you look around and you say look at here, progress is being made," says Murray.
Ervin Johnson says three of his family homes were demolished to make room for the new stadium.
He says a lot of history came down with them.
"Oh Lord yes, because of the heritage and the memories and all, that was the worst thing," he says.
There will be many memories built into this stadium.
Johnson is working on a project to sell alumni bricks to mark history.
"I'm glad the stadium is going to be here now," he says. "Seems like a positive move now since it's got to that point."
A point where Laney High School no longer has to share a stadium, but has one to call its own.
Originally the plans called for an $8.5 million stadium, but city commissioners contributed $2.5 million and the Augusta Neighborhood Improvement Corporation contributed $1 million to the project. This allowed the stadium to have more seating.

Capital Journal Daybreak: GOP Faces Primary Tests | Obama Trapped in Foreign-Policy Paradox | Climate Focus Intensifies
Sign up for the newsletter: http://on.wsj.com/CapitalJournalSignup
OBAMA INTENSIFIES CLIMATE FOCUS: President Barack Obama will make a concerted push this week to confront the effects of climate change, intensifying his focus on the issue a month before new and contentious rules are due that will regulate emissions from existing power plants. To kick-start the effort, a federal advisory panel released a report today assessing the impact global warming will have on specific regions and economic sectors.
The report gives Mr. Obama an opportunity to reassure his liberal allies, who have been yearning for a more aggressive approach to climate change. But climate change is also a tricky issue in an election year, since global warming ranks low on the public's list of priorities—and promises to cause trouble for Democratic candidates with ties to the energy industry.

NEW TEA-PARTY STRATEGY: Tea-party activists in Ohio, recognizing the dim prospects of unseating Republican incumbents in Congress, are forging a new political strategy: They're picking fights farther down the ballot. That strategy will be tested in Ohio's primary elections today, as dozens of conservatives run against Republican incumbents in the state legislature and for the Ohio GOP's central committee—a prominent voice in party endorsements.

SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS PUBLIC PRAYER: The Supreme Court's upholding of the practice of public prayer before local-government meetings has had an immediate effect, as a federal judge in Baltimore lifted restrictions on prayer at a local commission meeting and Greece, N.Y., town officials said they would continue to hold prayers at the beginning of meetings. The decision split the court 5-4 along its conservative-liberal divide. Jess Bravin reports: http://on.wsj.com/1kCzCDo
HEAVY FIGHTING IN UKRAINE: The heavy fighting that erupted around a pro-Russian separatist stronghold in eastern Ukraine is the most sustained since acting president Oleksandr Turchynov first sent troops to the region about three weeks ago, and it has already resulted in dozens of casualties. The president has said he would be willing to negotiate with the protesters, but remarks made to the German chancellor suggested otherwise. Lukas I.

BERKELEY -- One of the East Bay's largest medical marijuana dispensaries reopened here Wednesday down the street from its former location that was closed in May under pressure from the federal government.
Berkeley Patients Group, which at one time boasted 10,000 members but now declines to give numbers, reopened at 2366 San Pablo Avenue. It's former location at 2747 San Pablo Avenue was closed after the federal government threatened to seize the property from the owner if it did not close because it was too close to two nearby schools.
Since May, the dispensary has run a delivery service but has not had a storefront. One of three dispensaries licensed by Berkeley to do business in commercial zones, the group this year is celebrating 12 years.
"We are happy to be getting back to work, serving our patients and providing good jobs for our employees," Brad Senesac, spokesman for the dispensary, said in statement.
In August, Nahla Droubi of Moraga, the owner of the new lot where Berkeley Patients Group relocated to, said she is confident her property will not be seized by the federal government.
"Our property is not close to any school," Droubi said at the time. "The previous landlord had a very good experience with this group. He said they were very organized and most important thing is they had no violations and great security."
The founder of Berkeley Patients Group, Debby Goldsberry, who no longer works with the organization but continues to work as a medical marijuana advocate, said the fact that Washington and Colorado now have legalized marijuana for recreational use was not a game changer for medical marijuana in California.
"People are not thinking that Colorado and Washington are going to take the pressure off medical marijuana in California," Goldsberry said. "The federal government is still issuing statements that are relatively meaningless, and it is not yet encouraging."
On Dec. 14, President Barack Obama told ABC News' Barbara Walters, "We got bigger fish to fry," when asked about the federal government going after recreational users in Washington and Colorado.
"Ahh, the famous fish fry," Goldsberry said. "It's the same thing he said with medical cannabis in California, 'we are not going after individual users, we're going after dealers,' which is just not true. The federal approach hasn't changed at all."

Scarlett Johansson plays Gordon-Levitt's romantic interest. Johansson, who is performing on Broadway, wasn't in attendance at the premiere.
Before he spoke with The Tribune, Gordon-Levitt offered some advice to two students from the Park City High School film studies class promoting his own collaborative production company and website (www.hitrecord.org).
"HitRecord! Make shit. That's my advice.
A Sundance regular, Gordon-Levitt was especially enthusiastic about this year's trip to Park City. Before the screening, he chose to stick to the script when answering questions. When asked if he felt that pornography addiction was a real problem or a copout that justified indulgence, Gordon-Levitt talked about why he made the film.
"I just wanted to tell a story about how people objectify each other and I wanted to tell a love story ultimately, and to me, that's what always gets in the way of love is people putting these expectations on each other," he said.
"They think they're in love -but are they really? Or are they just comparing their relationship to something they saw in a movie or in a porn video? I find all that stuff hilarious so I wrote a comedy about it," Gordon-Levitt said.
Recent Golden Globe winner Julianne Moore said she was drawn to the film based on the writing. "It was a movie that's very surprising, certainly comedic, but then it ends up being much more, and also I was very touched by it. I turned to my husband; I read it on the plane, and I said, 'Oh this is lovely.'"
Tony Danza's favorite part about the movie was "being in it." He also enjoyed reunited with Gordon-Levitt, whom he worked with 20 years ago on "Angels in the Outfield."
"I'm excited for him more than anything else," Danza said. "I think you're going to see a really good movie and what's going to surprise you is how good of a director he is."

- VERY COOLOkay we all know that shortyusa has THE BEST airsoft stuff. But this is sick. It helps so much if you have extra clips and little things like small pistols or bbs or regular pistols or anything you want. This also stops the pain from the bbs. In a nutshell this will make your life so much easier.

LEXINGTON, Ky. - Winners of two consecutive games, Kentucky returns to its grueling slate against ranked foes, hosting No. 1 Vanderbilt for a three-game series, with first pitch on Friday slated for 6:30 p.m. ET at Cliff Hagan Stadium. The series will resume on Saturday at 7 p.m. ET and conclude on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.
Two of the three games will be televised, with the first game live on CSS and ESPN3.com and the finale televised live on Fox Sports South, CKWYT-TV (Central Kentucky) and WYMO-TV (Louisville) by the UK IMG Network, with Dick Gabriel, Doug Flynn and Brian Milam on the call. All three games will also be broadcast live on the UK IMG Radio Network, with the Voice of UK Baseball, Neil Price, calling the action. Fans can hear the games live on WLAP 630-AM in Central Kentucky, WKJK 1080-AM in Louisville and online at UKathletics.com.
The meeting between the two teams will mark the third consecutive year that Kentucky and Vanderbilt have met in a weekend series with one of the two teams ranked No. 1. In 2011, Vanderbilt came in Cliff Hagan ranked No. 1 and in 2012, UK traveled to Nashville as the NCAA's top-ranked club. Vanderbilt also came to Lexington in 2007 as the No. 1 team. The Commodores enter the series owning the best eight-week record in Southeastern Conference history, a staggering 21-2 mark.
The series will also mark a matchup of the two teams that lead the NCAA in drafted players on its 2013 rosters. Vanderbilt paces the nation with 18 drafted players on its team, with UK ranking second with 15 players drafted on its 2013 roster.
Kentucky (28-19, 10-14 SEC) is coming off a win over No. 14 Arkansas on Saturday to conclude a series against the NCAA's top pitching staff. UK then posted a 4-1 win over Wright State in midweek action on Tuesday, getting a strong start from senior Jerad Grundy, making his first career midweek appearance.
The Wildcats will send the weekend rotation of sophomore southpaw A.J. Reed (2-6, 2.84 ERA) to the mound on Friday, freshman right-hander Kyle Cody (3-2, 4.86 ERA) on Saturday and junior southpaw Corey Littrell (5-4, 3.46 ERA) on Sunday. Vanderbilt will counter with two of the top starters in college baseball on Friday and Saturday, as junior southpaw Kevin Ziomek (9-2, 2.03 ERA) starts on Friday and sophomore star righty Tyler Beede (12-0, 1.73 ERA), looks to continue wins in each of his 2013 starts. Junior righty T.J. Pecoraro (3-1, 3.38 ERA), the Vanderbilt Friday-night starter against UK in 2012, will start on Sunday.
A native of Terre Haute, Ind., Reed will be making his 13th start of the year on Friday, working 73 innings, allowing 79 hits and 13 walks, striking out 51. In his last start on Friday vs. No. 14 Arkansas, Reed worked 7.1 strong innings, allowing seven hits and two runs, striking out five as the hard-luck loser of a 2-1 game.
Ziomek has made 12 weekend starts for VU in 2013, tossing 88.2 innings, allowing 53 hits and walking 29, striking out 88. In his last start, Ziomek worked eight strong innings at No. 15 South Carolina, allowing eight hits and one run, striking out four. Ziomek last worked against UK in a Sunday starter in 2012 in Nashville, working 5.2 shutout innings, allowing three hits and four walks, striking out eight.

Last Saturday, Cody made his first career SEC start vs. No. 14 Arkansas, working seven strong innings, allowing seven hits and three runs – one earned – walking three and striking out five. Cody allowed just three runs in the first inning – as the UK defense made two errors – before settling in to fire six straight shutout frames.

In his last start, Beede worked 6.1 innings vs. No. 15 South Carolina, allowing two hits and two runs, walking four and striking out seven.

Safe and potent isn't enough
05.11.2012 - The European Commission declined a market authorisation for the orphan drug Elelyso in spite of a positive risk-benefit assessment.
The drug couldn't be approved due to specific requirements of the European Union (EU) Orphan Drug Regulation. Pfizer Inc. and Israel's Protalix BioTherapeutics, Inc. developed taliglucerase alfa, as an enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) for the treatment of Gaucher disease. They filed in November 2010 for marketing approval in the EU. In June 2012 the CHMP issued its opinion on the plant cell-expressed recombinant form of human glucocerebrosidase, stating that it could not recommend the drug for approval, because Irish drugmaker Shire's velaglucerase alfa had received prior Marketing Authorisation with orphan drug designation for the same condition. Therefore, Shire's treatment has orphan market exclusivity in the EU for a ten-year period commencing on its authorisation in August 2010. Pfizer pursued a request for derogation from Shire's orphan market exclusivity based on a number of factors. In detail, Pfizer had been seeking an exemption to orphan exclusivity on the basis of an "insufficient supply" of enzyme replacement therapy for Gaucher's disease and the drug's expected "major contribution to patient care." But the reasoning of the pharma giant was not enough to convince the CHMP. In USA, Australia, and Japan, Genzyme's orphan drug Cerezyme dominates the Morbus Gaucher market.
"We are disappointed by the EC's decision on taliglucerase alfa and believe it is important, given the history of past shortages, for the Gaucher disease community in the EU to have a third treatment option available," said Diem Nguyen, General Manager, Pfizer Biosimilars. "We will continue to work closely with our partner, Protalix, to make taliglucerase alfa available to the Gaucher disease community in other countries." Taliglucerase alfa was approved by the FDA in May 2012 for the long-term ERT of adults with a confirmed diagnosis of Type 1 Gaucher disease and was approved by Israel's Ministry of Health in September 2012.

Some of them, even resent those of us who lived in Olneyville warehouses out of necessity (with no loan, rent, or tattoo money from our parents), instead of for the temporary thrill and exotic feeling of living in an industrial wasteland.
One of the groups we were up against was the goddamned headlining act of the night! We saw that shit on the program and thought we were totally fucked- we almost left actually, but wanted to be there to support our friend Roz and to cheer if B won.

Mel Gibson's Award Draws Criticism from Czech Jewish Community
The 49th Karlovy Vary Film Festival kicked off Friday night with its highest honor awarded to Mel Gibson amid protests from the Czech Jewish community, which said the actor was spreading anti-Semitic views in his work.
The 58-year-old actor and director, who shot to fame for staring in the "Mad Max" and "Braveheart" blockbusters, received the festival's Crystal Globe for outstanding artistic contribution to world cinema.
But the Czech Federation of Jewish Communities questioned giving the lifetime achievement award to Mr. Gibson, saying that his 2004 film "The Passion of the Christ" is steeped in "classic stereotypes" about Jews that claim they were responsible for Jesus's death.
"At the time of increasing anti-Semitism Mr. Gibson's work can be easily used to justify anti-Jewish hatred," said Petr Papousek, the head of the Jewish federation.
At a late Friday ceremony in the Czech spa town, Mr. Gibson didn't comment on the criticism when accepting the award, which is an art deco bronze statuette of a naked woman holding a crystal glass globe.
"I am not only honored and astounded, I am charmed by Karlovy Vary and by the very warm reception I've received," Mr. Gibson said.
The festival organizers said they were aware of the criticism of Mr. Gibson raised by the Jewish federation.
"Our highest award is for outstanding artistic contribution to world cinematography and therefore we've assessed the film career of Mr. Gibson as a whole," said Uljana Donatova, the spokeswoman for the festival. "The particular film mentioned by the federation isn't even on our screening program."
Festival trustees are choosing particular filmmakers worthy of the Crystal Globe award from an evolving list candidates.
"We then have to ensure that a given nominee is available to come to visit the festival to accept it," Ms. Donatova said, declining to say how long Mr. Gibson had been considered for this year's prize.
The festival, which runs through July 12, will also honor the work of U.S. director William Friedkin, famous for his 1973 film "The Exorcist".

About the Book
"[A] stunning new memoir… thick with contemplation, packed with ideas and images rendered in exacting, evocative prose…. Brave and startlingly beautiful." —Time Out New York
"Truthful, intelligent, and engrossing. This may become a generation's definitive account of books and the city." —Jeff Sharlet, New York Times bestselling author of The Family
A loving and literate, honest and insightful look into the heart of that unsung heroine: the good girl. Fans of the strong narrative voices of such writers as Donna Tartt (The Secret History, The Little Friend), Nell Freudenberger (Lucky Girls, The Dissident), and Amy Bloom (Come to Me, A Blind Man Can See How Much I Love You), as well as books such as The Nanny Diaries, Prep, and The Devil Wears Prada, will love Not That Kind of Girl: Carlene Bauer's hilarious and touching memoir of God, books, and rock and roll.
Raised in evangelical churches that preach apocalypse now, Carlene Bauer grows up happy to oblige the God who presides over her New Jersey girlhood. But in high school and in college, her intellectual and spiritual horizons widen, though still she finds it hard to let go of her ingrained ideals and to rebel as she knows she should. She loves rock 'n' roll but politely declines offers of sex and drugs, and hovers between a hunger for the world and a suspicion of it. In her twenties, however, determined to make up for lost time, Bauer undertakes a belated and often comic coming-of-age in New York City—ultimately falling in love and losing her religion, and left wondering just what it means to be good.
Sharply written, hilarious, and touching, Not That Kind of Girl is the story of one young woman's efforts to define worldliness, ambition, and love on her own terms.

U.S. soccer team stops Cuba
Published: Saturday, July 13, 2013 at 11:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, July 13, 2013 at 11:51 p.m.
SANDY, Utah — Chris Wondolowski — with his jersey name spelled correctly this time — scored two more goals to raise his total to five in two matches, and the United States came from behind to beat Cuba 4-1 Saturday and advance to the CONCACAF Gold Cup quarterfinals.
Landon Donovan converted his second penalty kick of the tournament for his 53rd international goal, Joe Corona got his first international goal and Stuart Holden made his first start in nearly three years for the U.S., which has reached the quarterfinals of all 12 Gold Cups.
The Americans, who have not won the North and Central American and Caribbean championship since 2007, complete the first round Tuesday against Costa Rica in East Hartford, Conn., then likely will have their quarterfinal at Baltimore on July 21.

James Buchanan's Liberty First Spouse Gold Coin
President, 1857–1861
The Presidential $1 Coin Act of 2005 contains a provision to provide continuity of the First Spouse Gold Coin Program during those times in which a president served without a first spouse. This provision applies to James Buchanan, who was not married.
The gold coins issued to accompany any president who served without a spouse will each feature a design emblematic of Liberty on its obverse, as depicted on a United States coin issued during the President's time in office. For James Buchanan's presidency, the selected image appeared on the Liberty Head Quarter Eagle designed by Christian Gobrecht, minted and issued from 1840 through 1907.
Reverse Design
The reverse (tails) design depicts the future President as a boy working as a bookkeeper in his family's small country store.
Obverse: IN GOD WE TRUST, 2010, 15th PRESIDENCY and 1857–1861.
Reverse: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM, $10, 1/2 OZ. and .9999 FINE GOLD.

When i warming up or practicing i just think or my day etc.
When im in a race you used to just think of a song over naad over again lol but now im going to just think about running peroid.
Yeah I basically think of a fast paced song and try to think about the words and the beat. I also think about what I did before the race, like go over my day thus far and re-think it in the order i did things, it distracts me for a while, and then eventually I end up thinking about running and finishing that particular race
When I'm just on a training run or something, I usually think about my day and other things like that. In a race, I think it's important to concentrate only on the race and what you're doing. It's easy for me to get side-tracked, not pay much attention to my pace, etc., so I try to keep an open mind and just worry about finishing.
Depends who I'm running with. If it's any of the girls I usually think about their bums. Most of the time I just think about running or nothing at all.
When I'm running, I usually, almost always, think about ... running ... about my form, constantly monitoring, feet, soft landing, push off, posture, breathing, arms, attitude, mental state, relaxation, etc. Especially on tempos and intervals (which I do too much I suppose, I hate LSD). Am I alone?
Definetly my form and pace!
Right now i am going crazy because i start thinking of my vocab words for english during mile repeats! Its horrible obfuscate-supine-caterwaul-liturgey! and those are just the most common ones. someone help me with this problem!!!!!!
I do today what you won't, so I can do tomorrow what you can't.
MyProfile[/URL" target="_blank">
When i run during a race i mostly think about trying my hardest and keeping my pace. I also pray alot. During a practice i usually just let my mind wander over the day and think about finishing.
Whenever I'm running alone i think about all the homework i have to do when i get home, whats going to be on tv that night, boys/crushes.. all the normal teenage girl thoughts. but when im running with all my friends we just go crazy and talk about anything. But those long 'anti social jogs' as my friends call them, are great stress relievers for me because the whole time i somehow think about nothing but running...
I don't think... It's the one hour or so a day I get alone where I can forget people exist around me. It's a kind of meditation I guess
No use thinking about anything but the run. Push yourself during the training and push yourself during the race.
No use talking or thinking of your day as a lasp in concentraiton and possibly many seconds off your time. Music is good if your listening to it since you throw your own pace off along with the songs pace when your try to replay it in your head.
No use praying during or before a race since god wasn't a runner. If you want to PR its best to be serious during all your runs with the expection of maybe the long run since your just working endurance.
"To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the Gift."
I think about why I'm running and what I'll accomplish when I'm running. Also I think about if there's any cute teenaged guys around! LOL!!
mostly I think about nothing much at all, but sometimes I think about the exact things I don't want to think about, things that just get stuck in your head and keep repeating themselves!
For example once I read this article about this guy who had that 'John Jacob Jinglehimer' song stuck in his head while he was training, I thought 'that would suck', and the very next time I was running that stupid song was stuck in MY head!!!!
I have solved all of the worlds problems several times during my long runs. You know poverty, conflicts, oil prices, etc....I even invented a drug to prevent all of the worlds diseases. The problem is when I stop I forget everything.
pretty much anything and everything. You've got a couple hours to solve the problems of the world so ya may as well put them to use. If all I ever thought about was running I think I'd get bored pretty quickly.
Races are just illusions to me. I try to put myself in the context of some of my best workouts. Thats what I know to be real and what gives me the confidence to be able to mow down the guys in front of me.

DALY CITY -- Inbee Park, the world's No. 1 ranked women's golfer, has been staking out the narrow fairways at Lake Merced Golf Club and soaking up life as a tourist in nearby San Francisco.
Park of South Korea is among the favorites for the $1.8 million Swinging Skirts LPGA Classic, which will begin Thursday and feature a strong field that includes 18 of the top 19 in the rankings. The event marks the first LPGA tourney in the Bay Area since 2010.
A lover of seafood, Park enjoyed clam chowder and Dungeness Crab on Fisherman's Wharf.
"Everything was new for me this week, the golf course, the city, and everything. .... Really, really cool city. Really enjoying myself here," Park said.
Among the other headliners for the tournament are Michelle Wie of Stanford, coming off her first win on United States' soil in her native Hawaii; and Paula Creamer, a Pleasanton native ranked ninth in the world.
In addition to its cultural diversity, the Swinging Skirts event, partnered with the Taiwan-based Swinging Skirts Golf Team, will offer a stern test for the field of 144. Lake Merced has thick rough, fast greens and varying weather. Tuesday's practice rounds were played in cool, windy conditions.
Park, 25, has been the world's No. 1 ranked player for 54 consecutive weeks, but is seeking her first win this season.
"I don't have a win yet, but I pretty much did everything but win," Park said. "I finished second, third, fourth, fifth, everything else, this year. Just feels like it's coming pretty soon."
She's admittedly having trouble getting up in the morning as she adjusts to the three-hour time change from Hawaii to the Bay Area.
"Obviously, the course is in great shape," she said. "We played low rough last week. This is big rough and, obviousl,y a lot of up-and-down holes and blind tee shots and dog-leg holes. It's going to be a very big test of golf. It feels like a major setup."
World No. 2 Suzann Pettersen of Norway, who is returning a back injury, echoes Park's sentiments about Lake Merced.
"It's a traditional tree-lined course," Pettersen said. "Wasn't expectng it to be this windy. It's narrow; the rough is up. If you miss the fairways, you're going to have a hard time holding the balls on the green.. ... I'm prepared. I have layers for every condition that could possibly face us."
The Swinging Skirts will also boast top-ranked American Stacy Lewis, 16-year-old sensation Lydia Ko, Karrie Webb, So Yeon Ryu, Chinese No. 1 Shanshan Feng, Anna Nordqvist, Cristie Kerr, Na Yeon Choi, Catriona Matthew, Lizette Salas and Amy Yang.
Among the18 major winners competing is Juli Inkster of Los Altos, playing in her final full season on tour, who has seven major titles,
Other locals in the field are Sacramento native Natalie Gulbis and San Jose native Christina Kim.
"We were just brainstorming ideas how to make a fun event for everyone, players as well," she said. "It turned out awesome. I got there, the room was packed. There was a lot of energy."
She almost won that tournament, too, losing to Daniel Dae Kim in the final match.
"He was awesome as well," she said. "We haven't got to the final number yet, but feels like we raised some money. Really excited about that."

However, I'm not wearing them at my office right now...Me? The 13th Duke of Wybourne? Here? On teenagewildlife.com? At three o'clock in the morning? With my reputation? What were they thinking of?

10 Ways to Eat Healthy on the Fly
I just returned from an overseas trip, spending 17 hours in the air and several more hours in airports. Since I'm always a coach-class traveler, I was reminded of how difficult it can be to find healthy food at a reasonable price when you're flying.
Ditto for road trips: our family drove from Denver to Seattle last summer, and the wasteland of fast-food chains and truck-stop convenience stores clustered around interstate exits is downright depressing if you want a quick bite that's not burgers, fries or rotisserie hot dogs.
The key, I've learned, is to prepare your own portable meals ahead of time. Travel, especially flying, can be draining, not to mention dehydrating. It's important to choose foods that are high in protein and complex carbs, to maintain blood sugar levels – and to drink lots and lots of water. Those tiny plastic cups the airlines provide won't suffice — bring your own water bottle and fill it from a concourse drinking fountain once you clear security.
With just a bit of preparation time, you can enjoy easy, energy-sustaining snacks that taste better and cost a lot less than most 'food on the fly.' If you're traveling this holiday season, mix and match a selection of these easy snacks — no need to bother with a cooler or utensils; most items will last outside the fridge for a while, and most can be eaten right from your hand.

WAYNESBORO — The Gettysburg Warriors kept pace with Boiling Springs in the race for first place in the Mid-Penn Colonial Division.
Gettysburg paid a visit to the ravine field on Thursday afternoon and left with a 6-0 victory against the Waynesboro Maidens to improve to 3-0-1 in the division and 4-2-1 overall. The tie came against division-leading Boiling Springs, which finished the first half in league play with a 4-0-1 record. The Bubblers are 8-0-1 overall.
The Maidens dropped to 0-6-1 overall, 0-5 in the division. Waynesboro hadn't played a game since last Friday (against Boiling Springs) with home games against Chambersburg and Fairfield being postponed until later dates. Both were non-league games.
The Warriors scored four goals in the first half to build a commanding lead. Andrea Uhlig scored with an assist from Sierra Hudson at 28:44. Hudson followed with a goal just over a minute later with an assist from Katelyn Gormley.
Neither team could get much going inside the 20s for the next 12 minutes, but Hudson got Gettysburg's offense on track with two more goals. She connected at 15:30 with the assist coming from Megan Miller. Then, with 8:30 left in the first half, Hudson found the back of the cage again, this time with the assist from Kelsey Slonaker.
In the second half, Slonaker added two more assists to her credits, while Gormley and Uhlig were credited with goals. Uhlig's tally came with 4:57 left in the game.
The Warriors dominated play, outshooting the Maidens 13-2. Gettysburg accumulated 16 penalty corners, compared to none for Waynesboro.
Waynesboro returns to action Saturday at home against South Western beginning at 10 a.m.
Waynesboro's game against Chambersburg has been rescheduled for Oct. 14. The Maidens will host Fairfield on Sept. 28.

Sink Technologies and Benefits:
- The Vessel Advantage: Beyond uniqueness and their distinctive modern design, vessel sinks also present a couple of functional advantages. Because the sink is raised off the countertop, overall bathroom clutter presents less of an issue as items are merely level with or below the sink rim, not towering over it and in the way of your arms. Furthermore, bowl-shaped vessel sinks actually free up countertop space directly under the sink rim. Lastly, vessel sinks are much better at containing splashes, making face and hand washing less messy.
- Handcrafted Quality: Kraus vessel sinks are handcrafted in a very labor-intensive process. Starting with only the finest materials, artisans work each sink through its various production stages, with complete control over the entire process. By using hands to get the work done, each Kraus vessel sink is a functional work of art that has seen great care and thought put into its creation. The end result is a flawless sink that shows its attention to details.
Faucet Technologies and Benefits
- Precision Kerox Cartridges: The cartridge's job is to deliver smooth handle operation and water flow, throughout hundreds of thousands of uses, without ever leaking – all while under a punishing 60 pounds-per-square-inch of pressure. For these reasons, it is quite literally what "makes or breaks" the faucet. Kraus understands this, so they take no shortcuts here, importing their cartridges from the world's leading manufacturer of high-end precision ceramic disc cartridges, Kerox in Hungary.
- Swiss-Made NeoPerl Aerators: Aerators are possibly the most under-appreciated component within faucets. Not only do they soften the stream (preventing splashing), but they also control the straightness, diameter, overall delivery of water. Fortunately, like their cartridges, Kraus recognizes this and chooses to takes no gambles here – they import their aerators from NeoPerl in Switzerland, the world's leading manufacturer for high-end and specialty aerators.

Product Reviews
Rated 5 out of 5 by Legacy550 from Perfect for my Bathroom I used an old pine commode as a vanity, and the vessel sink and faucet worked beautifully. I like the contrast between the white ceramic sink and the wood top (with 3 coats of polyurethane for protection). I offset the sink to be able to retain a small drawer on the left side of the commode, and then I installed the faucet on the left side of the sink. I'm very pleased with the finished result.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Rizzo from Little disappointed Just installed my faucet and sink today. They look great but the faucet is leaking from the valve body so I have to send it back. I hope it's not to much of a hassle

Rated 4 out of 5 by jwang from Ceramic Vessel The vessel looks great with the faucet. The only thing is the size of vessel is a little bit small.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ritcho from Better than i expected I had been replacing a pedestal sink in a powder room and was searching online and via local retail for the perfect countertop sink (vessel) and/or wall hung mounted vanity.. i had originally thought a colored glass vessel of some type would be the most outstanding , but as i shopped they all began looking the same and evoking a stale and novelty like feeling,, but the timeless white and the shape of the Krauss vessel above struck me when i had least expected (i thought the white sink thing was old style, boring etc) i developed an appreciation for the white ceramic sinks and they are definitely much more elegant than i had credited. i ordered the above vessel and faucet combo for a project that i eventually embarked which would included my own custom crafted wood plank countertop which would be wall hung alone and hold my sink. the sink arrived and was completely perfect,and came with professional packaging , the included faucet was a separate professionally artistically packaged and further protected with in a cloth bag.For a combo set purchase i was extremely surprised at the quality of both the sink and especially the faucet.. this could easily have fetched the full price of what i paid for both at any given plumbing supply.. it is a very upgraded faucet to what i have owned before and the feel of the lever as it smoothly and with perfect resistance made the water flow with a very smooth flow .. these products far exceeded my expectations and in the future i can be assured that Krauss ranks very high on my list for future needs, as well as the Faucet Direct folks who were helpful and honest and professional... this was a great purchase and id gladly pay more for this set if i knew what i know now.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ennot from We wanted a Vessel sink with more depth than most available models and a faucet to accent & compliment the sink and surrounding area. We were a little hesitant to order online without actually viewing the product but the product was exactly as described and actually exceeded our expectations. The order came promptly, was packaged very securely, was received without any blemishes or missing parts, and was of very high quality & workmanship. Installation was a snap and everything works just as hoped. I am a bona-fide amatuer and was able to install very easily, quickly, and without stress. We are pleased.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MomX5 from Thrilled with this buy This sink and faucet are wonderful! Beautiful and wonderful quality. It took me months to decide on a sink and I am thrilled with my choice. I looked at many different sinks from high end to low end. I loved getting the whole package together and the price is unbeatable! I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one. The sink has nice depth which you need without an over flow.

Thomas Kleinwachter was sentenced to 12 months in jail, with no credit for time served, and 25 years of probation last week in Polk County District Court for second degree criminal sexual conduct charges involving a victim under 16 years of age.
According to the complaint, Kleinwachter's juvenile female relative was staying at his house in Mentor for a few days during the 2011 Christmas holiday when she awoke to Kleinwachter groping her. He stopped the touching, asked her to go upstairs and she declined. According to the complaint, Kleinwachter returned and started to grope her again, getting more serious. The juvenile relative said he penetrated her and then went upstairs again. He apologized to her later and told his sister that, "it was in God's hands and he is sorry." Kleinwachter, according to the complaint, told authorities that his juvenile female relative was falling out of her shirt when he tried to adjust it and she awoke.
His sentence also included attending a sex offender program, registering as a predatory offender until 10 years after probation ends, a $1,000 fine, supplying a DNA sample, possessing no sexually explicit material, not accessing the Internet or 900 numbers unless authorized by probation, no alcohol, no drugs, no firearms, cannot vote, subject to random testing and searches, no contact with victim, no unsupervised contact with children, submit to polygraph examinations, no unsupervised contact with minor females including grandchildren unless pre-approved by probation, and to obtain permission for any overnight stays.

Loop Road closures continue next week
Published: Saturday, October 12, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, October 11, 2013 at 10:09 p.m.
Construction of curbs and gutters and roadway elevations on Loop Road will keep it closed from Winters Drive to Woodland Road all next week, officials said.
The Tuscaloosa Department of Transportation said Hargrove Road should be used to access the Loop Road neighborhoods of Cherokee Hills, Beech Hills, Williamsburg East Apartments and areas off Winters Drive.
Other areas of Loop Road will be reduced periodically to one lane of traffic with flagmen in order to allow room for the construction contractor to build curb inlets, sidewalks and driveways.
Additional detours may be necessary depending on the location of the closure within the work zone.
TDOT asks that motorists and residents be polite when speaking with construction workers while trying to gain access to a specific area within the closed area.
The work is expected to be completed next month.

AEP making cuts in Beverly
Units shutting down; 95 jobs will be lost
July 12, 2013
BEVERLY — All five units of American Electric Power's Muskingum River Plant in Beverly will be phased out by the end of 2015....
Are you so naïve, denver, that you think that anyone is going to tell you that your rates will go up? Oh, wait, Odumma already did! Hang on to the sunshine, Sunshine, because soon that will probably be all the light you'll be able to afford.

And if I was to guess, Id say we've lost a lot more jobs here in the Ohio Valley because of "profit motivated" than any "compliance with environmental regulations" now wouldn't you?
7 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Am I missing something here? That Power Plant Units, 1-4 was Commissioned 1953 thru 1958. How do you know they wouldn't have closed it anyway just form being so old and the cost to operate. And its not like they need it to supply electricity! Nowhere did I read there going to be shortage of electricity. And its not going to affect AEP costumers' rates. So Id say it was market conditions, not the cost of compliance is the reason why AEP is closing the Beverly Plant.
That's called Profit motivated, or Capitalism, and isn't that what you Conservatives want? So what if 95 jobs will be lost! You think American Electric Power cares?

md, when I read your post, it became apparent that you played with a lot of mercury when you were younger and probably still do. That would explain a lo-o-o-o-t of your posts. BTW, would you like to help pay my electric bill when the rates go up because of the electricity having to be transmitted from a different plant from who-knows-where. Odumma said it would happen and that's about the ONLY thing he didn't lie about. Enjoy your cleaner air when you're sitting in the dark.

PRIVATIZED, Absolutely, correct there is always consequences in progress. However, READ the article again. You should note that "AEP" will suffer no loss in revenue from the closing of this facility. These GIANT CORPORATIONS have financially positioned themselves {in years past} to avoid ""ANY"" repercussions or consequences from this plant closing. They have known for many years that this was kind of UPGRADE REGULATIONS was coming... Now, they to convince US, the ""WORKING CLASS PEOPLE"" that our government is against us... TYPICAL GIANT CORPORATION TACTICS....

Just as I thought, there are around 50 more workers in the plant that aren't counted, then all the peripheral jobs that will be impacted in the domino effect. I was told that each coal train that rolls in there represents a million bucks. Beverly is about to dry up, losing their tax base, and the businesses in the area will miss the income immediately when the plant closes for good.

FACTs that this article don't tell you.....Outdated power plants release mercury, other metals, acid gases, and particles that harm people's health. Mercury causes neurological damage, including lost IQ points, in unborn babies and young children exposed during the first few years of life. Metals such as arsenic, chromium, and nickel can cause cancer. Acid gases cause lung damage and contribute to asthma, bronchitis and other chronic respiratory disease, especially in children and the elderly. Particles cause premature death and a wide range of lung and heart diseases........... Don't you think it would have been fair if this article would have given the related health costs to the ENTIRE MID OHIO VALLEY, {INCLUDING YOU & YOUR FAMILY} from this pollution.?????????????

WASHINGTON — Power plants in the United States are burning coal more often to generate electricity, reversing the growing use of natural gas and threatening to increase domestic emissions of greenhouse gases after a period of decline, according to a federal report.
Coal's share of total domestic power generation in the first four months of 2013 averaged 39.5%, compared with 35.4% during the same period last year, according to the Energy Information Administration, the analytical branch of the Energy Department.
By contrast, natural gas generation averaged about 25.8% this year, compared with 29.5% a year earlier, the agency said in its most recent "Short-Term Energy Outlook."
With coal prices dropping and gas prices rising, the agency said it expected the use of coal to remain on the upswing, accounting for 40.1% of electricity generation through 2014. Natural gas would fuel about 27.3%.

Also, I just read that coal use for power generation is on the rise. So closing this plant probably does nothing for the environment overall, not even on paper.

Suppose they counted the Manpower employees that work there? You know, the ones that give up a part of their hourly wage to a letterhead company so AEP doesn't have to be their employer.

And so it goes. Not only those 95 jobs directly but indirectly the jobs of those that delivered parts and supplies to the plant and the construction workers that performed the maintenance on the plants. Worked on those plants for several shutdowns and the precipatators that cleaned much of the pollution from Unit 5. The same has happened at Phillip S**** and Willow Island. Many manhours of wages lost forever.
