A pirate who searches for shark teeth

VENICE - Stuart Hales was 5 years old when he discovered why this city is celebrated as the "Shark Tooth Capital of the World."
What: 21st Annual BB@T Venice Shark's Tooth Festival
When: 4-9 p.m. Sunday; 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday; 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday
Where: Venice Airport Festival Grounds, 120 E. Airport Avenue Admission: $3 for adults, children 12 and under free.
Entertainment: Live music, vendors selling food and shark teeth and related jewelry.
Tweet your photos from the festival with the hashtag #sharkstooth and they could appear in the Herald-Tribune and on TicketSarasota.com.
For millions of years, much of Florida, including Venice, was underwater and prime territory for millions of prehistoric sharks.
Sharks shed as many 35,000 teeth in their lifetimes, leaving billions of teeth that sank to the ocean floor, where they became embedded in minerals and fossilized.
Geological changes, including a jutting land mass that ran from Venice more than 150 miles into the Gulf of Mexico, released the teeth.
While renourishment of Venice Beach has made shark teeth less plentiful, they are abundant offshore. Divers from around the world search what is dubbed "The Venice Boneyard" a mile or so offshore for prized shark teeth and other fossils.
Among the most prized finds are Megalodon teeth, as large as 6 inches, from prehistoric sharks that were 90 feet long.
It was the 1970s and, as he walked Venice Beach carrying a plastic bucket, Hales picked dozens of fossilized shark teeth from the sand.
"A man saw my bucket and said, 'Kid, I'll give you 50 cents a tooth,' " Hales recalled. "Easier money I never made again in my life."
Hales, 43, who looks like a cross between the country singer Keith Urban and, by design, the pirate character Capt. Jack Sparrow, is still profiting from shark teeth. He is among a record 24 vendors selling the teeth and jewelry at this weekend's 21st Annual Venice Shark's Tooth Festival.
But the lengths that he and other shark tooth hunters go to acquire the fossils is far more arduous than a walk on the beach.
Two renourishment projects over the past 20 years, in which tons of sand was brought in to restore the eroding beach line, have essentially buried Venice's most famous artifacts.
"Old-timers," as Hales calls them, still troll the beach at sunrise, finding scattered treasures washed ashore by the tide. But for those such as Hales who make a living, or a good part of their living, from selling shark teeth, the beach no longer offers a reliable harvest.
Shark teeth hunters now have two choices: 1. Head out a mile or so offshore and dive 20 to 30 feet deep to "the Venice boneyard," where fossils are plentiful. 2. Or, as Hales does, go inland, along the Myakka River and as far as North Port.
"The good ones are worth their weight in gold," Hales said. "But it can be like gold finding them."
Why Venice?
Almost all of the shark teeth are ancient, between 1 million and 20 million years old, says Reinhardt Badow, the chairman of the Science Department at Bayshore High School, who, like Hales, has collected tens of thousands of shark teeth over decades around Venice.
Badow said that millions of years ago, Florida to its central spine was covered by water.
Millions of prehistoric sharks swam in the waters, each shedding as many as 35,000 teeth in a lifetime. Later, a land mass stretched 150 to 250 miles from Venice west into what is now the Gulf of Mexico. A river ran through that land into the Venice area, cutting through the geological strata and releasing millions of years of shark teeth. In modern times, shark teeth were almost as common as shells on Venice Beach.
During the 1960s the Army Corps of Engineers dug the Intracoastal Waterway, effectively making Venice an island. One unintended consequence: Jetties built at the entrance to the Intracoastal blocked the natural replenishment of sand to Venice Beach.
The beach eroded.
Local government responded by bringing in tons of sand to replenish the beach — and burying the shark teeth that gave the area such a distinction.
"There are fewer today," Badow said of shark teeth on the beach. "Up by the grassy area or south near Caspersen Beach, you can still find them, but nothing like it was."
Hunting today
Shark tooth hunters like Stuart Hales have gone elsewhere.
Hales goes far from the beach, into North Port and on private land near the Myakka River. He gets permission from property owners and traverses remote areas by canoe and by hiking. He digs all day with a shovel, scraping through roots and rock.
Shark teeth, he said, are like diamonds. Ordinary, half-inch teeth — "jewelry teeth," he calls them — sell for a few dollars on a necklace.
His greatest find was a 6-inch tooth from a Megalodon, the largest and most powerful prehistoric shark. After so many years of toiling for such a prize, Hales was reluctant to part with it until a woman at the festival pulled out a roll of $100 bills and bought it for $1,800.
Hales still winces when he recalls the transaction. He wonders if he will ever find another tooth like it.
"It's more than the size," Hales explained. "It's the color. The ordinary ones are simple black and gray. The prized ones are blue, gray and brown. And they have to be flawless. That one did not have a nick on it. It was museum quality."
Like art and jewelry, the price for shark teeth keeps rising.
Badow recalls divers who not long ago turned down $20,000 for a flawless 6-plus-inch Megalodon found off nearby Golden Beach.
What makes shark teeth so coveted?
"Part of it is the mystique of the shark," Badow said. "Owning something all powerful that has been known to kill men . . . although, of course, people kill many more sharks than sharks kill people."
A pirate's life
Hales has spent much of his life laying carpet.
But about 15 years ago, as a single father with a young child, he said he needed to raise his income. He decided to do what he loved: finding and selling shark teeth.
He sells teeth on eBay. But his biggest event, by far, is the Venice festival. The month before the festival, he scours for shark teeth five or six days a week, digging for eight or more hours a day.
Then, he assembles as many as 8,000 necklaces in the days leading up to and at the festival — so many that his hands are bloodied.
But with so much competition among shark tooth vendors, profit is not guaranteed. So, a few years ago, he began dressing up as Capt. Jack Sparrow, the Johnny Depp character in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies.
The resemblance was so striking that Hales not only attracted more customers to his shark tooth booth, he found a new career as a costumed entertainer at birthday parties and other events. He is seeking a notary license so that, in his pirate costume, he can perform marriage ceremonies.
None of it has made him rich. He still lays carpet to pay the bills. But transforming into Capt. Jack Sparrow, surrounded by shark teeth, is the best life he has known.
"You make people smile," he said. "I wouldn't change anything."

Theradiag snaps up Prestizia
28.06.2012 - French theranostics and in vitro diagnostics company Theradiag is set to acquire its compatriot Prestizia, a specialist for microRNA-based diagnostics.
Paris/Marne la Vallee – Prestizia SAS is part of the Holding Incubatrice Biotechnology and Pharmacy, which was launched by Truffle Capital in 2010 and is presided by Jean-Jacques Bertrand, former CEO of Aventis-Pasteur. The company, which has been set up in April 2011 with a starting capital of €300,000, aims at developing novel diagnostic assays for viral infections and human malignancies based on microRNA expression and holds an exclusive license to a technology for characterising HIV cell tropism based on the identification of microRNA signatures.
"The acquisition of Prestizia represents a major advance for Theradiag. Its microRNA platform is going to allow us to strengthen our development in theranostics with a highly innovative, patented technology," stated Michel Finance, CEO of Theradiag. The Marne la Vallee-based company changed its name from Biomedical Diagnostics (BMD) only last month, to reflect its drive to develop theranostic assays for monitoring the effects of biotherapeutics.
Theradiag pins primary hopes on the newly acquired microRNA technology, stating that it could have widespread clinical applications including identifying patients eligible for particular anti-HIV treatments or for differentiating different cancer types. The first application of this platform is already being developed, in collaboration with the Institut de Génétique Moléculaire de Montpellier (IGMM) for finalising a molecular biology test of HIV tropism to be marketed in the near future.http://www.european-biotechnology-news.com/news/news/2012-02/theradiag-snaps-up-prestizia.html

PASADENA -- Notes and quotes from the Television Critics Association winter press tour:
Chris Hardwick has a message for all "The Walking Dead" fans worried over the abrupt departure of the zombie saga's showrunner: Chill out.
"I know a lot of people are mad and disappointed," he says. "But you've got to hang in there and keep the faith."
Hardwick is the effusive host of "Talking Dead," the live "after-show" that follows each episode of the AMC drama. He says he was just as stunned as everyone else when showrunner Glen Mazzara announced that he was leaving due to a "difference of opinion" with AMC over the direction of the series.
It marked the second change at the top for "The Walking Dead" in just three seasons. Frank Darabont, who adapted the series from Robert Kirkman's comic books, was abruptly forced out as showrunner midway through Season 2.
Mazzara's departure was particularly startling, as it came in the middle of a season in which "The Walking Dead" became prime time's most popular show among viewers ages 18 to 49. Many fans thought the show became more tense and fast-paced under Mazzara's guidance.
Still, Hardwick says there's no need to panic.
"A lot of people freaked out when Glen came aboard, saying, 'Omigod, it's going to be the death of the show!' " he recalls. "And then, after half a season, people were saying, 'Oh wait, this is amazing.' People are afraid of change."
One thing that hasn't changed is the involvement of Kirkman, who remains on board.
"I think people need to credit him," Hardwick says. "He's the creator of the show. He's managed to keep the comic book series fresh for 10 years. If he's still on the show, it's going to be OK."
Of course, Hardwick has a stake in things. His after-show, which offers fans a discussion forum, expands from 30 minutes to an hour when "The Walking Dead" returns with fresh episodes Feb. 10. Will it be difficult to fill the extra time?
"Oh, not at all," he says. "We were rushed for time in the half-hour format. Now the conversations will have more room to breathe, and we'll have more opportunity for fan reaction."
WORKING ON A DREAM: When growing up as best pals in Concord, Blake Anderson and Kyle Newacheck, star and director of the Comedy Central series "Workaholics," sensed that a showbiz career was in their future. So soon after they graduated from Clayton Valley High School, they bolted for Los Angeles.
"There was just something in my soul saying that you can't settle in at home," Anderson recalls. "We had bigger dreams. And you're never, never going to attain that dream sitting on your mom's couch."
Now they're part of one of Comedy Central's biggest hits. Just days ago, they were surprised to learn that the cable channel renewed "Workaholics" for not one, but two more seasons. The irreverent and edgy series about a trio of slacker buddies who work and party together averaged 2 million viewers this past summer.
The show does especially well with young male viewers, but Anderson says he's always amazed by the vast range of their fans.
"It's surprising. You just never know," he says. "We've heard from little kids whose parents probably shouldn't be letting them watch and older people that you worry about having a heart attack while watching."
Meanwhile, the success of "Workaholics" has been a big calling card for Newacheck, who has been hired to direct episodes of major network sitcoms such as "Happy Endings," "Parks and Recreation" and "Community."
Still, his heart remains with "Workaholics," which he helped create and write.
"I was real excited to work on those shows. It's a cool experience," he says. "But it kind of feels like baby-sitting. I always want to get back to my own baby."
Anderson, who is one of the show's main cast members -- along with Adam Devine and Anders Holm -- foresees a day when they all branch out into movies. But for now, he's counting his blessings and looking back gratefully on the day he left home behind.
"That was a big key," Anderson says. "So many parents these days are totally cool with their kids living on the couch the whole time. It's like a new thing with families. But you've got to leave the nest and get out there."
Season 3 of "Workaholics" begins at 10 p.m. Jan. 16
THIS 'N' THAT: Fox entertainment chief Kevin Reilly would like Britney Spears to return to "The X Factor," even though critics panned her performance. "I think she did a really good job," he says. "People remain fascinated with her and always will. ... Maybe (they) were waiting for more drastic displays that never came." ... On the other hand, don't count on Steve Carell to return to "The Office" when it leaves the air with an hourlong finale in May. Network chairman Robert Greenblatt says it's "doubtful" Carell will be back. ... Fox has renewed "Bones" for a ninth season.

MORAGA -- All across the state of California, Directing Change is asking teenagers to zoom in on suicide and ostracism.
It's not the "It's spring!" message one might expect this time of year, but rather a public service announcement video contest aimed at promoting mental health awareness. With the National Institute of Mental Health reporting in 2009 that suicide was the third leading cause of death for young people ages 15 to 24, building bridges isn't just admirable, it's vital.
"Human understanding is the most effective weapon against suicide," said Dr. Edwin Schneidman, founding president of the American Association of Suicidology, on Directing Change's website.
Dividing California into 11 regions, Directing Change invites all high-school-age student filmmakers throughout the state to create and submit videos in an initiative administered by the California Mental Health Services Authority. Funded by the Mental Health Services Act (Prop 63), the $1,000 to $500 cash awards to winning teams and matching-amount prizes to their schools are an incentive for -- and an investment in -- improving teens' mental health wellness.
At Moraga's Campolindo High School, Cameron Sun and Kyle Merryman, two 17-year old seniors, show their 60-second PSA.
"What if we told you there are people just like you?" the screen reads, following a rapid montage of teenage faces. "People with mental disorders are just like you. Sometimes they need help. Just like you."
The message, addressing the "Eliminating Stigma" category in the competition (there also is a "Suicide Prevention" category), took about one month to complete. The script was developed collaboratively, a process both students enjoyed.
"We didn't really have any arguments," says Merryman, the more vocal member of the team. "Alone, we can get lost in an idea. But bouncing ideas off each other, we kind of land somewhere."
"Yeah, what he said," Sun agrees.
Merryman says his filmmaking background until taking on this project has been comedic. The suicide prevention PSA was "a too-touchy subject" and the category's extensive, cautionary guidelines too worrisome.
Indeed, the "rules" section of the project guidelines is intimidating: The PSA should not portray suicide as inexplicable or frequent; not be insensitive to racial, religious, sexual orientation or gender; not be negative, dark, or even subdued; and not include the words "commit" or "completed."
The competition isn't simply an opportunity for cinematic flair: it's a lesson in responsibility. Following copyright laws, recognizing warning signs of someone at risk, and providing information about crisis and support resources expands participants' understanding and compassion.
Justin Seligman, Campolindo's video production teacher and the adult supervisor required by Directing Change for all entries, says he has avoided contests that deal with serious themes. He says students haven't been interested.
"These two are intellectual young men who wanted to rise to the challenge," he says. "We've done diversity videos that have sparked a discussion with teachers in individual classrooms. That was influential."
Mourning the cuts that have reduced counseling staff at many schools, Seligman says close connections are hard to form when case loads are hundreds of kids.
"As a community, we have to watch out for students who are in social, emotional danger," he says.
Using a Canon EOS Rebel T2i to shoot, Final Cut Pro 6 for editing and Gemendo for the minimalist, copyright-free piano accompaniment that filters in the background of their PSA, their first attempt was 40 seconds too long.
"With the time limit, it makes you realize you can't tell the story in the conventional sense," Merryman says. "You can only do a collage of the general idea."
"Everything had to be compact," says Sun.
They say ostracism at Campo is often directed at students with "mild autism" and that "out-and-out teasing" happens, but that being left out is more common. They are a bit more closed about their own experiences. Merryman says he was physically bullied in elementary school, but high school is "more open-minded." Sun says, "I've had to deal with being different. I've learned to accept it."
Still, the message Sun hopes to send is proactive: "Treat people with mental disabilities as they deserve to be treated -- as equals."
And Merryman believes teens generally have "more pure creativity" than their elders, so a student-generated PSA is "emotionally appealing" and "will make the audience relate and feel connected to someone with mental illness."
This year, 207 "Intent to Direct" forms were submitted. Judges include mental health/suicide prevention experts, community members, news media, county behavioral health agencies representatives, filmmakers, actors, and educators.
Winners of the regional contests will be announced early April. Three state winners will celebrate at an award ceremony at Sacramento's Crest Theatre on May 23.

The lettering and other design elements on the reverse have a heavy frosted finish. The fields on both sides of the coin have a new light frosted finish. All these enhancements - unique to this coin - add sharp definition to the designs. These two coins will only be available in this special set.
Both coins are struck in 99.9 percent silver and bear the "W" mint mark of the bureau's West Point facility. The coins' obverse design features Adolph A. Weinman's full-length figure of Liberty in full stride, enveloped in folds of the flag, with her right hand extended and branches of laurel and oak in her left. The coins' reverse design features former United States Mint Sculptor-Engraver John Mercanti's heraldic eagle with shield, an olive branch in the right talon, and arrows in the left.

SANTA CLARA -- As Jim Harbaugh stepped up to the podium for his news conference Monday, he dropped at his side a red binder featuring the 49ers' offensive strategies for the NFC Championship game.
The binder stayed shut. Harbaugh, however, opened up for the first time with his impressions of the 49ers' matchup Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons, who'll host the title game at the Georgia Dome.
Harbaugh praised the Falcons' ability to run for 167 yards Sunday against the normally stout Seattle Seahawks, and he lauded Matt Ryan as a "smart, heady quarterback" with multiple receiving threats.
Harbaugh didn't dare critique how the Falcons blew a 20-point fourth-quarter lead on their own field before advancing with a 30-28 win. Nor did Harbaugh question a Falcons defense coordinated by former 49ers coach Mike Nolan.
"They do an excellent job," Harbaugh said of Atlanta's defense. "We're getting to know them. That's where our focus is. We haven't played 'em in the two years we've been here, so it's a task, a challenge to understand what they're doing schematically."
The Falcons allowed the league's fifth-fewest points in the regular season (18.7 per game) and ranked in the top 10 in both interceptions (20) and forced fumbles (16). But they didn't fare so hot in other defensive categories, ranked 24th in yards allowed (365.6) and 28th in sacks (29).
Offensively, Michael Turner and Jacquizz Rodgers offer a one-two punch in the Falcons running game that the 49ers didn't face Saturday night while eliminating the Green Bay Packers 45-31. Ryan's receiving weapons are unquestioned, with tight end Tony Gonzalez (93 catches, eight touchdowns) and top-notch targets Roddy White (92 receptions, seven touchdowns) and Julio Jones (79 receptions, 10 touchdowns).
"It's been designed that way by them," Harbaugh said. "You can't pay too much attention to one guy because several can hurt you."
Harbaugh also praised his players' efforts in their divisional-round win.
Although Colin Kaepernick ran for the most yards ever by a quarterback in an NFL game (181), Harbaugh preferred to compliment some of Kaepernick's "piercing" throws to Michael Crabtree, Randy Moss and Vernon Davis.
Harbaugh knows how tough it can be to catch Kaepernick's fastballs. The coach catches all his quarterbacks in pregame warm-ups, and he said of Kaepernick's passes: "The ball gets on you real fast."
Referring to Kaepernick's record 181 rushing yards, Baalke said Monday on his weekly radio show on 95.7 The Game: "When he gets out in the open, not many guys are going to track him down. We envisioned that. Did we envision it all happening at once, like it did Saturday? I can't say we did, but we know it's within him."
The 49ers used their 2011 first-round draft pick on outside linebacker Aldon Smith, then moved up to take Kaepernick with the fourth pick of the next day's second round. In return, they sent the Denver Broncos picks in the second round (45th overall), fourth round (108th) and fifth round (141st).
"First of all, I didn't draft him. We drafted him," Baalke said. "Obviously he's made plays like that his whole career at a collegiate level (Nevada), with both his arm and feet. He's an explosive athlete."
Kaepernick was the sixth quarterback taken, behind Cam Newton (Panthers), Jake Locker (Titans), Blaine Gabbert (Jaguars), Christian Ponder (Vikings) and Andy Dalton (Bengals).
In his eighth career start, Kaepernick's second pass was intercepted and returned for a touchdown and 7-0 deficit. He finished 17 of 31 for 263 yards and a 91.2 passer rating. Said Baalke: "How you overcome mistakes really defines who you are as a player. We're getting a glimpse of who No. 7 is as a player."
Baalke said of Smith: "He's fine. Performance wise, it was typical Justin. I didn't see him holding back at all, there wasn't a drop off in his performance."

i only read a little bit of the bottom of sky news, and didn't name club involved has anyone else seen or heard anything more.............. i hope and pray this has nothing to do with liverpoolSort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
White cat too I expect.
Why doesn't he have a trap door leading to a tank of sharks. Far more fun and less mess.
There was a documentary made about Abramovich's office a while back. He has a very long wooden table that he sits at one end of. He invites his managers to sit at the other. What they don't know is that there is a tube running under the table from one end to the other and he has a gun.
I think the documentary was called "The Spy Who Loved Me".
Gosh, what a horrible thought. I certainly hope not. I wasn't his biggest supporter that's for sure.
I think it's fair to say the PL is a better place with Maureen involved. Although it's also fair to say that would have seriously loved to have been a fly on the wall in Abramovich's office a few imes this last couple of years.
The ladies generally wet their pants when St Jose arrived the first time. Whether it would be the same again I can't predict. Obviously there is no Chelsea fan that wouldn't want a return of The One, expect perhaps the one who will have to pay for it.
But maybe you should be careful with your commentary. Can you be sure Benitez won't reurn to Liverpool one day? (Probably less sure than I was he would never go to Chelsea.)

How can it have anything to do with LFC we haven't been in the CL for a few yrs.
er no. It seems to be the only logical explanation fo 2.5 goals to me.
Rumours are that Abramovich wants Maureen back. That's dredging up the past if ever I saw it. Along with a very large portion of Humble Pie for Roman and a yet anoher ego injection for the "Special One".
It's giggles all the way. I cant undertsand why the ladies generally seem to prefer the other soap operas.
Ah, I see. Thank you. Liverpool fans still dredging this up!
I saw a similar joke on the ED article which I thought was as good as I've seen in a while :-)
There's something mildly amusing about Liverpool scoring one goal against a keeper paid to let in three. Allegedly. You might not think so :)
It was us against Debrecen in 2009! It appears that Debrecen were approached to concede more then 2.5 goals in the game, it would seem they didnt accept as the scoreline was only 1-0 and I remember it being a scrappy game, it must be pretty easy to take the edge of your game to let Torres in a couple of times!

"more then 2.5 goals in the game"?
Is there a difference between that and "more than 2 goals in the game"?

Idaho, Ready for Martial Law?
Rep. Pete Nielsen, R-Mountain Home, today persuaded the Idaho House to vote 61-9 in favor of his legislation that would prevent the government from seizing guns in cases of extreme emergency.
HB 229 declares that during a such states including martial law, invasion or insurrection, No government authority will have the right to come and pick up our arms and ammunition.
Rep. Grant Burgoyne, D-Boise, spoke against the bill, saying no one ever expects to see an invasion or a declaration by the governor of martial law, but no one expected to see planes crashing into the World Trade Center either.
Were meddling here with one of the most fundamental and necessary powers, and I think we need to be very careful how we do that, he told the House.
Nielsen responded, I dont see where were limiting the governor at all. In fact, I think it even helps him to know that hes got the public out there in helping him to maintain law and order.
The bill passed, and now heads to the Senate.

Rhode Island city drops cussing cockatoo case
Published: Wednesday, March 27, 2013 at 8:39 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 27, 2013 at 8:39 a.m.
WARWICK, R.I. (AP) — Warwick officials have dropped their case against the owner of a foul-mouthed cockatoo that hurled expletives at a neighbor.
Resident Lynn Taylor was fined $15 last year for violating the local noise ordinance after the neighbor complained about the bird's profane rants. The neighbor lived with Taylor's ex-husband.
Police tell WJAR-TV (http://bit.ly/10MpHoy ) they recently dropped the case because of the cost of fighting Taylor's appeal of the fine. Officials say it was in the city's best interest not to use its resources to try to enforce a $15 citation.
Taylor appealed the fine to Providence Superior Court. Her lawyer says the noise ordinance is unconstitutional because it doesn't specify what constitutes a violation.
The local law prohibits residents from letting their pets habitually howl, bark or make other noises.

Dalene was looking too hot for her own good. As soon as we spotted her having lunch all by herself we it was on. After telling her how we were packing grade a meat she agreed to hang out with us. We put it on this little hot mami. Her pussy was tight and just right. She was down for whatever we wanted and of course we put her to the test.

Local businesses discuss impact of postal cuts
February 7, 2013
PARKERSBURG — With the announcement the U.S. Postal Service will be cutting Saturday mail delivery, business leaders discuss its impact on the area....
I agree with what Guy mentioned about technology. As technology continues to improve it takes out the need for a human to do the same job. So in a sense we are taking jobs away from ourselves. Now having said that I do not know the in and outs of the USPS so I'm willing to bet that's not the only problem at hand but defiantly a factor.

Ha, it's not Japan we need to worry about "taking over" the US. China's already done that.

Guy007, You're comment is absolutely right on! New technology over the years in so many ways are a God's blessing. Yet, because of it, jobs have been lost. The only thing I would dissagree with, is that medical advancement has soored over the years because of technology. I so hate to see the space program put on hold, because the average person doesn't know what wonderful advancement it has given to the medical field. Oftentimes we are blindsighted by little things that we take for granted, while one should look at the big picture. I feel bad for the postal workers who are being cut back. As for myself, I think I can manage not getting my bills on Sat.

Just another example of government bloated and misguided programs. Getting mail out is good. Getting mail out while wasting tax payer dollars not good. Hence since the bloated carcass of the USPS can not or is not allowed to be deflated it will just be covered with lime to try and cover the stench. This will not solve the USPS financial problem.

This is another example of what's happening to the once great USA by the march of technology making things easy for us.REALLY!!! Look at all of the jobs lost as well as the mismanagement of resources since technology has replaced good old humankind sense!!! I suspect that advanced technology has been responsible for the dysfunction evident in our society. We have no purpose anymore. And certainly,due to the technological advances,we have more time on our hands to continue our dysfunctionalism,which creates alot of medical,including psychological problems.

Privatize the USPS! Let FedEx, UPS, DHL and any other private company bid for the business; turn it over to the free enterprise market. It's time to stop the bleeding.

In Ravenswood there is nothing like standing in line for 30 minutes waiting for service. Listening to the clerk and a customer gossip is my main goal in life. You would think that between 8:30 and noon and from 3 to 4:30 we could have both counters open as these are the busiest times.

Really don't believe one day less of mail service is going to cramp any-ones style horribly.Due to no Sat. delivery,one would think the medication delivery would shuffle in turn,since it's not as if it's going to happen tomorrow.

The problem with the USPS is "MANAGEMENT" The USPS is the most mismanaged in the world. If you ever worked for this clown show you would understand. Management always said they have the right to mismanage. They do a very good job of it. All the stupid things the USAS has done over the years has come back to bite them. If the workers could run the show it would still be a great place to work. Untill management is replaced the USPS will fail and continue to fail.

- And children should be exposed to the entire variety of Englishes, not just one or the other.
- We hear English, Japanese, Arabic, Dutch and Spanish.
- Spanish is the first language, but English is widely spoken in the tourist trade.
- It's thought to be endemic in the English. 'An Englishman's home is his castle'.
- His prime subject has always been England and the English.
- And as any subcontinental cricketer will tell you, beating the English in England is very special.
English is the principal language of Great Britain, the US, Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and many other countries. There are some 400 million native speakers, and it is the medium of communication for many millions more; it is the most widely used second language in the world. It belongs to the West Germanic group of Indo-European languages though its vocabulary has been much influenced by Old Norse, Norman French, and Latin.

- English is used to dramatically increase or decrease the cue ball deflection angle.
Old English Englisc (see Angle, -ish1). The word originally denoted the early Germanic settlers of Britain (Angles, Saxons, and Jutes), or their language (now called Old English).
England and the English get their names from the Angles, an ancient Germanic people who came to England in the 5th century ad and founded kingdoms in the Midlands, Northumbria, and East Anglia. Their name came to refer to all of the early Germanic settlers of Britain—the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes—and their language, which we now call Old English. The first written example of English (spelled Engliscne) comes from the The Treaty of Alfred and Guthrum, an agreement between King Alfred the Great and Guthrum, the Viking ruler of East Anglia. Its exact date is uncertain, but it was probably written around 880. For an account of how the Angles got their name see angle, and see also British. The proverb An Englishman's home is his castle has been around in various forms since at least 1581. Dickens uses it in The Pickwick Papers (1837): 'Some people maintains that an Englishman's house is his castle. That's gammon [nonsense].'

SAN JOSE -- San Jose State coach Ron Caragher is dealing with plenty of unknowns as his team prepares to face North Dakota in Thursday's season opener.
With a new coaching staff and a turned-over roster at North Dakota, the Spartans are making some educated guesses about the type of team they'll face.
"You just have to do your due diligence and make your best guess of the type of schemes they're going to run," Caragher said.
North Dakota, which isn't to be confused with three-time defending Football Championship Subdivision champion North Dakota State, is coached by Bubba Schweigert. He took over after UND went 3-8 last year and fired Chris Mussman.
Schweigert spent the last six years as defensive coordinator at Southern Illinois. Offensive coordinator Paul Rudolph was the head coach the last seven years at Division II Minot State, so Caragher said he'll try to glean something from the schemes run at their previous stops.
"You've really got to focus on yourself and take care of your business and be prepared for a lot of different things that can come your way," Caragher said.
Caragher pointed to North Dakota's last two games against Football Bowl Subdivision teams as reasons not to overlook the FCS foe. UND lost to San Diego State 49-41 in 2012 when it had the ball late in the game with a chance to tie and lost 27-22 to Fresno State in 2011.
"Play like I've been here before," Tucker said. "Last year, I got a lot of good reps, and I feel like I can just roll it over into this year."
Tucker was SJSU's second-leading rusher last year with 338 yards, and his 5.1 yards-per-carry average was best among players with more than two carries.
Redshirt freshman Brandon Monroe should also see an expanded role in his first collegiate action at running back. He played two games at safety and on special teams last year before redshirting with an ankle injury.
"We like our running backs to be well-balanced, and I think Brandon fits in that," Caragher said of the 6-foot-1, 221-pound Monroe. "He brings a little girth to the position. The first two guys, Lawson and Tucker, they're more of the speed, make-you-miss guys, and Brandon's more of the all-around type of running back. He's got some power."
"He looks like the Billy Freeman that we've seen," Caragher said. "I haven't see him leap a defender thus far, but I'm sure that's on the horizon."

- Feb 19:
- Pleasanton-based Safeway in discussions to sell company
In the flurry of media coverage about the proposed takeover of Safeway by a private equity firm, much attention has been paid to the need to increase share price. No attention has been given to the effect such a change in ownership will have on the workers at the grocery chain.
It is my privilege to be president of the union that represents Safeway workers in the western part of Northern California.
Our union is familiar with Cerberus, the odds-on favorite to take over Safeway. Our members at Albertsons got a new boss in 2006, the same one apparently slated to take over Safeway. Because of the completely incompetent management of Idaho-based Albertsons, the chain was vulnerable to a takeover, and in stepped Cerberus.
The new employer, modestly named after the mythological dogs that guard the gates of hell, sold every piece of property that wasn't nailed down and some that was. The results in terms of store closures, reductions in hours and rundown stores were miserable for the workers and the shopping public alike.
Our members at Albertsons experienced no upside to this corporate takeover, and had they not been represented by the UFCW, the results would have been far more devastating.
Back in the '80s, the movie "Wall Street" came out. The outfits that took over companies and jettisoned properties and workers with equal zeal back then were called corporate raiders, green mailers, arbitrageurs and leveraged buyout specialists.
Their motivation was pretty clear -- racking up huge financial gains for themselves and their deep-pocketed investors. Why build something when you can destroy it and reap a quick buck?
Today, we have "The Wolf of Wall Street." Hollywood's portrayal of the characters depicted performing corporate takeovers has remained fairly consistent.
Off the movie screen, however, corporate America has succeeded in recasting corporate raiders as job and wealth creators.
No matter how this is recast or repackaged, the bottom line is the hardworking men and women employed at takeover targets get the short end of the stick.
The name Cerberus comes from Greek mythology. This situation is reminiscent of a Greek tragedy in which everyone knows what's going to happen but can't do anything about it.
It would be best for the workers and the shopping public if the greed and avarice of the Safeway and Cerberus negotiators led to the demise of this deal.
If the takeover goes through, the UFCW will do its best to make sure the Albertsons story doesn't repeat itself at Safeway.
Ron Lind is president of United Food & Commercial Workers Local 5.

VAIL - Veteran rider Kelly Clark and 16-year-old Arielle Gold continued this season's halfpipe domination Thursday morning during the Burton U.S. Open women's halfpipe semifinals in Vail.
After the first run, Gold was on top and Clark was sitting in second. They flip-flopped places after their second runs for the overall finish, advancing with ease to Saturday's final.
The day started out frigid cold, with temperatures around zero when the ladies hit the pipe at 8 a.m. for some practice runs. Clark said the weather definitely made it hard to get her body warmed up, but she was happy the sun came out in time for competition.
Gold said the positive side of the colder temperatures is that it keeps the pipe firm and prevents it from getting beaten up. Gold put down a frontside 900, backside 540, frontside 720, cab 720 and a frontside 540 to put her in first place after the first run. She didn't improve her first score - 80.3 - on her second run, but that was fine.
"I feel really good - I think it's going to be an awesome contest," Gold said.
While Clark and Gold put down strong runs as expected, there were two big surprises that came out of the women's race: Aspen rider Gretchen Bleiler, in just her second competition since suffering serious injuries in a training accident last summer, put down solid runs and made it into the final, while Elena Hight, who has been really strong this season, failed to qualify for Saturday's final.
Bleiler improved upon her first run and threw tricks including an inverted frontside 540, cab 720 and frontside 720 stale during her second run. When she finished, she was sitting in sixth place - the dreaded "bubble" seat, since only the top six women qualify for finals and there was one remaining rider - Hight - who Bleiler thought might knock her out.
"I had one of the best runs I've had all season in practice today, so that's a huge step forward," Bleiler said. "That run that I just had, I felt good about it, but it's not my best. That run in practice was my best - it was bigger, and cleaner, it was on - it was everything I needed to do."
Bleiler had reconstructive surgery on her eye socket after her accident last year. There was a period of time when she was worried her vision would never be right again, so putting down clean runs at the Burton U.S. Open is major progress.
"I feel really good about it - good steps forward," Bleiler said. "I'm on the bubble right now, and Elena (Hight) didn't have the best run her first run, so we'll see what happens."
Every other rider was already in the top six, so Hight was the only rider Bleiler had to worry about. Hight dropped in and started her run with a big method air. She threw some big tricks like a back 900, ally-oop backside rodeo, frontside 540 and a cab 720, which she sat down on slightly during her landing.
It wasn't enough - Hight finished her second run in eighth place, securing Bleiler's spot in the final.
Other riders throwing strong runs Thursday included Queralt Castellet, of Spain, finishing third, followed by American Kaitlyn Farrington in fourth, and Hannah , who finished fifth.
The ladies have been loving this Vail pipe all week, and a little sunshine on competition day was the icing on the cake.
"The pipe is really, really good. The shape is excellent, the conditions of the snow can't be better," Castellet said. "The weather is good, too, so it always helps. Everyone's having so much fun in this pipe - I think I'm not the only one who finds it really good."
With a sunny day behind them, and hopefully another one on Saturday, the women are now focused on what they need to win the title.
When asked about what the ladies will need to throw, Teter said it'll need to be big.
"That's the question," Teter said. "I think you're going to need a (1080), for sure, to take it."
The ladies will be on the pipe tomorrow morning practicing for Saturday. Teter told the crowd to come on out and watch tomorrow.

STOCKTON - George Grismore, 58, of Stockton, who is married and the father of six, is on the verge of being placed on the list for a double lung transplant as his only option for survival. Doctors told him last week his lungs were functioning at 28 percent capacity.
The family is facing mounting expenses not covered by insurance, and a fundraiser has been planned for 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday at Straw Hat Pizza, 4719 Quail Lakes Drive, Stockton. The family needs to raise $40,000 to cover relocation costs to be near Stanford Hospital, medications and other expenses, and is about halfway toward the goal.
Grismore, an avid Oakland Raiders fan, is a former deacon at Lincoln Presbyterian Church, where he serves on the membership fellowship committee, and an inactive member of Lodi Partners, a group that aids Lodi law enforcement.

The hub needs power , as many USB devices draw 5V DC , if you plug four of these into a hub with no power problems occur as the one USB port cant power all four devices,hence the need for a separate power supply,

Rob just by the fact that you have a room in your house called the study indicates that probably the archetypal Tim Nice But Dim and are best staying away from electrical items. Obviously you have learnt a lesson, which in life is a good thing, if you plug the wrong psu into something it blows up. Actually you indicate the fact the you are an upper class twit in another way, anyone else would have returned the item feigning innocence to the exact method of the items demise and requesting a new one, instead of posting an item on the retailers webs site admitting the you blew it up. Hey ho. I have the 8 hole version and as Tim, sorry Rob says it comes with a power supply which is nice and as some other inventive soul pointed out it does what it says on the tin, actually I am running a sweep as to how many times that hackneyed saying has been used in the reviews on this web site, I'm saying 1,789,643.

When Your Heart Rhythm Isn't Normal
In this article
Diagnosis of Arrhythmias
To diagnose an arrhythmia or find its cause, doctors use tests including:
Electrocardiogram -- Also called an EKG or ECG, this test records the electrical activity of your heart. You wear small electrode patches on your chest, arms, and legs for the quick, painless test, which you take in your doctor's office.
Holter monitor -- This is a portable EKG that you'll use for 1 to 2 days. You'll have electrodes taped to your skin. It's painless and you can do everything but shower while wearing the electrodes.
Event monitor -- If your symptoms don't happen often, your doctor may suggest you wear one of these, usually for about a month. This is a device that, when you push a button, will record and store your heart's electrical activity for a few minutes. Each time you notice symptoms, you should try to get a reading on the monitor. Your doctor will interpret the results.
Stress test -- There are different kinds of stress tests. The goal is to check how much stress your heart can manage before having a heart rhythm problem or not getting enough blood flow to the heart. For the most common type of stress test, you'll walk on a treadmill or pedal a stationary bike at increasing levels of difficulty while you're getting an EKG and getting your heart rate and blood pressure monitored.
Echocardiogram -- This test uses ultrasound to evaluate heart muscle and heart valves.
Cardiac catheterization -- Your doctor will insert a long, thin tube, called a catheter, into a blood vessel in your arm or leg. She will guide it to your heart with help from a special X-ray machine. Then she'll inject dye through the catheter to help make X-ray videos of your heart's valves, coronary arteries, and chambers.
Electrophysiology study -- This test records your heart's electrical activities and pathways. It can help find out what's causing heart rhythm problems and find the best treatment for you. During the test, your doctor will safely reproduce your abnormal heart rhythm and then may give you different medications to see which controls it best, or to see what procedure or device you need to treat it.
Head-up tilt table test -- Doctors use this test to find out what's causing fainting spells. It measures the difference in heart rate and blood pressure when you're standing up or lying down. You'll get this test in a lab. You'll lie on a stretcher, tilted at different angles while you're getting an EKG and specialists are checking your blood pressure and oxygen level.

SACRAMENTO — A Stockton man was sentenced to five to 10 years in prison Tuesday for downloading child pornography, the U.S. Department of Justice announced.
According to court documents, Timothy Gevock, 27, used the email address "evilgamer209" to receive child pornography from a British national.
The images were sent via email by a person living in Manchester, England, who was molesting a 4-year-old girl and trading pictures with people on a Russian photo-sharing site, authorities said.
Agents executed a federal search warrant at Gevock's home on Nov. 5, 2011.
They seized multiple computers, storage devices and cellphones. One of the computers revealed evidence that Gevock had received child pornography. He pleaded guilty in June.
The case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 to combat child sex exploitation and abuse.

- Personally signed by Messi and Guardiola!
- Currently Unavailable
This product is part of Icons' exclusive UEFA Champions League signed memorabilia range, officially licensed by UEFA.
This incredible dual-signed photo was personally signed by both Leo Messi and his former manager Pep Guardiola in two exclusive signing sessions organised and carried out by Icons in Barcelona in the week beginning April 16, 2012.
This limited-edition photo shows Messi, the world's best player, being congratulated by Guardiola after scoring Barcelona's second goal in their 2009 Champions League final victory over Manchester United by 2-0 at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. Messi's stunning headed finish capped a man-of-the-match from the Argentinian, and handed Guardiola a Champions League trophy in his first season in charge at the club.
Guardiola won 14 out of 20 possible trophies in four incredible years as Barcelona manager, and Messi became their all-time record goalscorer in the process. This amazing photo is signed by two of the greatest Icons in modern football, and an unmissable piece of memorabilia for fans of arguably the greatest club side ever.
NOTE: All sales final for signed memorabilia in order to protect standards of authenticity.

A memorial service will be held in Silverthorne on Saturday for longtime Summit County actress Diane Kodera Gadomski, 80, who died in Indianapolis on Nov. 12, 2012.
For the Lake Dillon Theatre Company in Dillon, Gadomski played many varied and memorable roles in productions including "Other People's Money" (2000), "Arsenic and Old Lace" (2001), "Three Tall Women" (2004), "The Oldest Profession" (2005), "Man from Nebraska" (2006) and "Driving Miss Daisy" (2011).
Additionally, Gadomski performed in many Backstage Theatre productions in Breckenridge, including "The Gin Game" (2000), "Three Viewings" (2002), "Enchanted April" (2006) and "Hidden" (2007).
LDTC executive director Joshua Blanchard acted alongside her in the LDTC's 2004 production of Edward Albee's "Three Tall Women."
"Working with Diane was the only experience I ever had as a performer where I felt I was getting a private master class in acting. She was beyond brilliant," Blanchard wrote in a memorial. "She was the epitome of class, work ethic, kindness, talent and humor wrapped into one tiny, always-smiling frame of a woman. She will be greatly missed."
She is survived by her husband of 57 years, Robert (Bob), and a big loving family, including her Summit County theater family.
The service will take place at the new Our Lady of Peace Catholic Church, 89 Smith Ranch Rd. in Silverthorne at 11 a.m., with Mass followed by a reception in the parish center.

We were looking for outdoor lighting fixtures that resembled the style of the lamps at many of the Mosques/Catholic churches we visited in Spain. The pendant lamps, while not the real thing, have the same look and feel of the more expensive versions, but at an very affordable cost. And we did not trade price for quality, as the lamps are well made and finished beautifully. They are definitely not a cheap tin knock-off. We are very happy with the product.

The days when people received all their health and nutrition information from doctors have come and gone. The technology explosion has made health information more accessible to more people than ever before. Books, magazines, television, radio, supermarkets, health food stores, and the Internet are just a few places where health and nutrition information and advice are available. But how can you know if the source is credible and the information is accurate?
The federal government estimates that billions of dollars a year are spent on unproven medical treatments.
This isn't to say that all unproven treatments are fraudulent. But without scientific evidence, medical professionals can't know for sure if the treatment actually worked or not. Potential dangers of unproven treatments include drug interactions and toxicities. The possibility also exists that using unproven remedies can delay the use of established treatments, thus allowing a disease to worsen.
The following are some areas that are particularly susceptible to misleading claims:
Because herbal supplements are considered foods rather than drugs, they are not subject to the same approval criteria by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). As a result, there is no governmental oversight of manufacturing or of herbal effectiveness.
Products from different manufacturers may be different in potency and may not be directly comparable. Even if one brand of herb has been shown effective, this does not guarantee that a competitor's product will perform as well. An important misconception is that since they are natural, they are harmless. This may not be the case. Herbs and supplements can be powerful and must be used with caution. Check the FDA's website for warnings and safety information on dietary supplements.
While herbal remedies have been used for centuries, only recently have studies been designed to test their efficacy. Searching for test results in legitimate sources is the best way to learn whether scientific studies support the use of a given herbal remedy. Natural and Alternative Treatment includes information on over 350 herbs and supplements.
The Internet is a flourishing area for nutritional information and misinformation.
There is no governing body or set of rules overseeing the content on the Internet. Therefore, there is nothing to prevent anyone from using it to peddle false information and promote fraudulent products.
Well-established and reputable sources include government agencies, such as the FDA and USDA, professional organizations such as the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and the American Medical Association, and non-profit organizations, such as the American Heart Association, American Cancer Society, and the American Diabetes Association.
Your doctor probably has diplomas hanging on the wall. You won't always find that when looking for nutritional advice, particularly when it comes from a source outside of the traditional healthcare setting. To be sure you are getting advice from someone who has training in a wide variety of nutrition topics, one option is to look for the credentials RD (registered dietitian). Registered dietitians must complete four years of undergraduate study in nutrition at an accredited university, a postgraduate internship, and then pass a national exam to receive the RD credential. If you are seeking a nutrition counselor, see the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics' website to locate a registered dietitian near you.
If you are investigating alternative therapies, you may want to look for people who have the initials ND after their names. This signifies that they have been trained as a naturopathic doctor, which usually includes four to five years in a program that emphasizes natural therapies.
The Food and Nutrition Science Alliance (FANSA) is a coalition of food scientists, nutrition professionals, and researchers. To aid consumers in evaluating nutrition and health reports and advice, FANSA has issued a list of red flags of junk science. Included in the list are:
If you think you have been the victim of nutrition quackery, you have several options. Most importantly, if you think a product has caused you physical harm, contact your doctor right away. Otherwise, the National Council Against Health Fraud and the FDA are good organizations to turn to with questions and complaints. If the product was ordered by mail, your local post office might be able to help. Ultimately, knowledge is your best defense. An informed consumer is much less likely to become a victim of nutrition quackery.
