6. Oct. 28, 1978 – Wilfredo Gomez (21-0-1) KO 5 Carlos Zarate (52-0), Coliseo Roberto Clemente, San Juan, Puerto Rico
If ever a fight were made for TV it was Gomez vs. Zarate. First, it was a continuation of the historic geographic rivalry between Mexico (Zarate) and Puerto Rico (Gomez).
Second, this fight paired two of the most prolific punchers in the sport and , in Zarate's case up to this point, in boxing history. Zarate recorded 51 knockouts among his 52 victories, which translated to a fabulous .981 knockout percentage, and his eight consecutive knockouts in title defenses was two short of Roberto Duran's all-time record to date.
Meanwhile Gomez was on his own knockout tear. After recording a six-round draw against Jacinto Fuentes in his pro debut, he stopped his next 21 opponents and his victims included Fuentes, perennial contender Albert Davila, WBC super bantamweight titlist Dong Kyun Yum and five subsequent title challengers.
But in America, for reasons that defy logic, ABC showed only clips on tape delay. Go figure.
Despite having to travel to the challenger's homeland, Zarate was perceived to be the favorite, albeit a slight one. At 5-foot-8 and owning a 67-inch reach, Zarate was three inches taller and had a similar reach edge. He also boasted superior world class experience and it was thought his lean frame would benefit from the extra weight.
Gomez, however, also had his assets. Just one day short of his 22nd birthday, Gomez was five years younger, was fighting before a frenzied fan base and proved he could box and slug with equal dexterity. That said, Zarate represented a quantum leap up in terms of opponents as he was the first foe to be considered a future Hall of Famer.
As it turned out, both men struggled mightily to make the 122-pound championship limit as each scaled 124 on their first attempts. This was par for the course for Gomez, who made 122 on his next try, but for Zarate it was a shock given the leeway the heavier limit was supposed to give him. In all it took Zarate three more tries before he officially sweated off the two pounds, an effort complicated by flu-like symptoms.
The first three rounds followed the same script. For the first two minutes Gomez circled left and right around the stalking Zarate while flicking jabs that fell intentionally short of the target. "The Bazooka" was showing proper respect to his hard-punching but lead-footed rival but once he spotted a chance to attack, he pounced. In the final 60 seconds of the first three stanzas Gomez shifted into attack mode and as he pelted Zarate with pinpoint combinations that prompted ear-splitting roars from the the boisterous San Juan crowd. Zarate got in a few solid punches in the third but they weren't enough to overcome Gomez's flashier work.
The first two-thirds of round four looked much like the previous three but the final 60 seconds were much, much different. A hair-trigger left to the face floored Zarate near the ropes and a pumped up Gomez stood over Zarate and hooted and him before referee Harry Gibbs guided him toward the neutral corner. The electrified crowd was so loud that neither man heard the bell and thus Gomez got in three late punches, one of which sent Zarate tottering to the floor for a second time.
For those accustomed to Zarate's dominance at 118, the fourth round was a surreal sight but for Gomez and his fans it was a dream come true. Gomez was within reach of the biggest victory of his life thus far and at the start of round five he tore after Zarate with both fists flying. With a wall of noise enveloping all three men inside the ring, Gibbs ignored a but-for-the-ropes knockdown of Zarate as well as Gomez striking the challenger with a right to the temple after Zarate slipped. As Zarate arose, his brother/chief second tossed in the towel to end the match at the 44-second mark.

Those poor boys, if it's all true.
Those boys molested allegedly by a former defensive coordinator for Penn State.
Those poor boys, if it's all true.
Article Photos
What a mess in the not-so-Happy Valley.
A reprehensible, revolting mess against humankind.
It goes from the bottom of the rung - a graduate assistant coach, now on the Penn State staff fulltime - all the way up to the top - a president.
Then there is the former defensive coordinator, the alleged perpetrator of these unspeakable acts, arrested on 40 counts of child-sex crimes, and an athletic director and a vice president charged with perjury because they allegedly didn't report what they knew.
There also is Joe Paterno, who knew of one alleged transgression committed by assistant coach Jerry Sandusky, who is charged with the most-heinous of crimes.
Paterno, told of the incident nine years ago by a graduate assistant coach, said he reported the action to athletic director Tim Curley, which apparently follows the criminal code in Pennsylvania. State officials say that Paterno is not a target for arrest.
Paterno is now the target - a real target - for eviction from his post as the Penn State football coach.
As he should be, which, according to the New York Times, is in the works.
What a tragic way for a legendary sports figure to go down - the all-time winningest coach in Division I football sacked by a loss of greater magnitude than the numbers on a scoreboard.
He is just as culpable, however, for not doing more.
Those poor boys, if it's all true.
Although the 84-year-old Paterno is said to have met his legal obligations, according to authorities, he failed in humanity by not following up on the original claim and what followed - allowing Sandusky access to facilities at the university.
So much for Paterno's motto: "Success With Honor and Integrity."
It is really numbing to think that Paterno, who is the face of Penn State University, knew what he knew and did little more than he did.
It's unfathomable.
It's unconscionable.
It's disgusting.
Those poor boys, if it's all true.
I met Paterno once outside of his weekly press conference, a few days before Martinsburg High School graduate Steve Roach was to sign a letter-of-intent for Penn State. Paterno seemed warm and genuine, not the gruff football coach who didn't like answering questions from the press as he otherwise appeared.
It has been that Paterno always has been tight-lipped about his injury report during his weekly media briefings.
That's one thing - a chagrin to reporters trying to present a story.
This once-tight-lipped secret is all-together different.
Those poor boys, if it is all true.
And the real tragedy won't be what happens to Joe Paterno, it will be how his swan song plays out.
It won't be about what happens to the Penn State program.
What has happened to the eight victims? Apparently now a ninth and maybe more of them.
Paterno and his image will be tarnished; these poor boys, if it's all true, are scarred.
Theirs is the real story that seems to fall under the radar of the rabid sensationalism over Paterno and his comrades at his side on the field and in administrative positions.
If it can happen at Penn State, which has been viewed as a place of such moral high ground, it can happen anywhere.
And it has.
Almost weekly, some kind of story of something unsavory happening in college sports comes to light.
Nothing as unsavory as this one, however.
Those poor boys, if it is all true.
There seems to be a constant barrage in these parts of stories of college football programs.
Negative news from three states that share borders.
First, there's Ohio State and the tatoo parlor. That lasted winter-into-spring.
Second, there's West Virginia and dirt-digging. That lasted during the summer.
Now, there's Penn State and a whole heap of allegations over sex crimes. It will last and last.
Neither of the first two is as appalling as the Penn State situation.
At Ohio State, players sold some of their school-issued clothing in exchange for tattoos - an NCAA violation. Coach Jim Tressel learned about the situation early on and stayed quiet. Now he's gone.
At West Virginia, it was reported that outgoing coach Bill Stewart had asked a reporter to "dig up some dirt" on incoming "coach-in-waiting" Dana Holgorsen, and Stewart's gone as a result with Holgorsen in charge.
We know Paterno will be gone, too.
A friend of mine who graduated from Penn State and has a son there as a student now is pretty adamant about what should happen - strip everything that is Penn State, from the coaches on down to the system, and start over.
And this guy, Ed Doyle of Bethel Park, Pa., once with some undergraduate buddies, went to Paterno's house to pay homage. They met Paterno, got some autographs and exchanged some small talk.
"Start over with stripes on the jerseys and a lion on the helmet," Doyle wrote in a text.
Seems the Nittany Lions' brass have been fooling us for about a decade in their plain-jane uniforms; they have been striped.
Still, those poor boys, if it is all true.
One more thing Penn State needs to do this season: Turn down any bowl bid - even if the Nittany Lions qualify for a lucrative BCS game.
Such an action would be a small nod to the Paterno motto of "Success With Honor and Integrity."
That's because the past can't change, and it still comes down to those poor boys, if it is all true.

EL PASO, TEXAS (Texas Tribune) - When César Duarte, the governor of the Mexican state of Chihuahua, announced last week that the government wanted to move the railroad tracks that pass through Ciudad Juárez out of the heart of the city, Cristina Jiménez knew that the battle had just begun.
Jiménez, a former Ciudad Juárez councilwoman, and other local residents have been trying for years to get the government and the railroads to build a bypass, arguing that the trains going through Juárez and El Paso, its sister city across the border, expose residents to several threats like dangerous freight and pedestrian fatalities.
While Jiménez considered the governor's announcement of a bypass a good start, she remained skeptical, in part because the railroads had yet to agree to any such plan.
"We have two years in this fight," she said, adding that words did not necessarily translate into action. Calls to Duarte's office in Ciudad Juárez seeking more details about the rail relocation plan were not returned.
No starting date has been set for the relocation, which would, at the Mexican government's expense, move the rail line used by the Union Pacific and Burlington Northern Santa Fe railways west to the Mexican border near Santa Teresa, N.M.
Nate Asplund, an assistant vice president for Burlington Northern Santa Fe, said a new rail line would take almost a decade or more to build. No environmental studies had been conducted and no international permits had been secured, steps required before the tracks could be moved, he added.
"All of us on both sides of the border would rejoice if the rails were on the outside of the city," said Alan Russell, the chief executive of Tecma, an El Paso-based outsourcing company for Mexican businesses. "But realistically, and the end of the day, that's why the cities are here."
Russell also questioned the urgency.
Some El Paso business leaders say the bypass makes sense economically. To accommodate the community, rail traffic now occurs only during part of the day.
"The current rail movements that are coming through the heart of downtown Juárez and El Paso are limited to a very narrow window of operations," said Bob Cook, the founder of Cook Strategies and the former president of the El Paso Regional Economic Development Corporation.
But he also sees advantages to upgrading current facilities.
Asplund agreed that a bypass would create a long-term solution to a long-running problem. But he said that if traffic was a primary complaint, it might have to be addressed another way.
Several projects, including grade separations, bridges and underpasses, are underway in Ciudad Juárez, infrastructure that Burlington Northern supports and says would ease congestion.

Robert Rodriguez offers brief update on Predators sequel
Predators 2 is still a possibility, but it seems that there's some way to go...
Don't get too excited, as we've written news stories that are far more substantive, and have a lot more to say, than this one. However, we quite liked Predators, the Robert Rodriguez-produced belated addition to the Predator franchise. And you might recall that around the time, there were suggestions that Rodriguez and his team might make a further sequel to the film. Predators 2, perhaps.
ShockTillYouDrop briefly caught up with Rodriguez to see whether Predators 2 was a possibility. And while it's not ruled out, the change of studio head at 20th Century Fox may have an impact here.
"We were thinking about it", Rodriguez confirmed. "I don't know, I'll have to talk to them. They just had a regime change over there - we'll see what happens".
Hmmm. Predators did decent business, with a worldwide take of $127m to its name. Given that Rodriguez brought the film in on a budget of around $40m, and given the money Predators subsequently made on home release, that's not a bad return at all. We'll see in due course if Fox wants more...

Heart Failure Health Center
Turning to Drugs for Heart Failure
The Bulging Medicine Cabinet
A potential problem with the success of drugs for heart-failure treatment is that it means the number of drugs that people are taking has increased. When new drugs are developed, they are typically not compared in head-to-head studies with old drugs. As a result, old drugs don't get replaced; instead, the new drugs are often added to existing heart-failure treatment. This can add up to a lot of pills to swallow. The greater the number of pills, of course, the harder it becomes to stick to a drug regimen.
"This can be a real problem," says Bennett. "A lot of these patients are elderly, they don't feel well, and they may not be able to see well. Following a complicated drug regimen can be hard for them."
"We're facing an era when patients are going to be taking multiple drugs and perhaps even have devices too," Cohn tells WebMD. "We're making therapy very complicated."
But while Pitt agrees that additional medicines may complicate heart-failure treatment, he feels that complexity is the cost of progress. "If I can show you that I'm adding a benefit to [death and sickness] with another drug, I'm not going to apologize for that," he says. He also observes that drug cocktails have become common in the treatment of other diseases, such as cancer.
Hitting the Wall?
Drug research has had some setbacks in recent years. "One of the things that's clearly happened in the last few years is that we hit the wall with drug therapy," says Bristow. "The last six or so trials of promising drugs have been negative."
Konstam agrees. We've had some disappointments in recent years from some drugs that held a lot of promise in heart-failure treatment, he says.
Although the synthetic hormone Natrecor -- which mimics the effects of natriuretic peptide, a hormone that dilates the blood vessels -- has received some attention, its usefulness is unclear.
"I don't think that Natrecor represents a breakthrough in management," says Cohn. "I know many physicians who don't quite see why it's any better than the traditional, less expensive drugs that we currently have that do the same thing." For now, Natrecor is only administered intravenously in the hospital.
Drugs have been so successful in heart-failure treatment that some experts worry that attempts to improve it much more will be tricky. "I think that the development of ACE inhibitors and ARBs and beta-blockers, when they're used and combined, that we've reduced the risk of death dramatically," says Cohn. "I think attempts to lower it further are going to be difficult."

Product Reviews
Average Rating: 4 in 1 review
I have a three year old. I saw this game at GenCon and kept going back to it, eventually buying it. It is a great game, and is beautifully made. Basically, you stack pieces in his arms, feet, and head until he tips over.
- Easy to learn
- Can be played solo
- Teaches turn taking and general game play behavior
- Has opportunity for other educational game play (help kids understand directions like "put the green barrel on his arm")
- Well made, all wood
- Sturdy box that will survive handling by toddlers
- It has a lot of pieces, which get thrown everywhere when the clown tips over, which is, after all, the point of the game. You spend a lot of time searching under furniture for errant 'barrels'
- Some of the 'barrels' are small, and are choking hazards for kids still prone to put things in their mouths. (We have a 1 year old in the house as well and have to constantly keep him away from the game.)
- The clown tends to fall backward or forward too easy. The aim is to avoid tipping him to the side, but he often gets tipped over backwards

PruProtect hits profit for first time
PruProtect has hit profit for the first time since the provider began four years ago, recording gross operating profit of £16.9m in 2012.
The provider has gained on 2011's figures of a £7.8m loss, while also boosting its intermediary market share.
However, Herschel Mayers, chief executive officer at PruProtect, says it wants to grow this market share further, hiring more account managers to target the IFA space.
The company is also launching a new product aimed at making it easier for wealth manager IFAs to write protection business.
To be released in November, there are minimal details of the offering at the moment, with Mayers saying, "We want to open new markets and to create innovative products."
However, the company is aware that its innovation is copied by competitors, saying that the aim is to keep one step ahead.
Mayers adds, "It's good if they copy us as it improves the market and outcomes for consumers."
One aspect that has led to the improved profits is the company's claims experience, which Mayers brands as "excellent".
The company's Vitality wellness programme means it has a healthier customer base, which in turn leads to the improved claims data.
Mayers adds that customer engagement with the brand is also high, "Lapse rates have continually declined, which is a key measure of overall customer satisfaction."

Allan Katz and Danae Columbus: World Trade Center development needs new bids
The City's announcement last week that after months of meetings, negotiations were still ongoing with Gatehouse Capital should prompt the New Orleans Building Corporation to re-open the bid process and invite new proposers.
This is especially true with several new Council and NOBC members coming on board in a few weeks and the change of NOBC leadership when Deputy Mayor Cedric Grant moves on to the Sewerage & Water Board. With the multi-million dollar high-end outlet mall by the Howard Hughes Corporation set to open at the Riverwalk next month, the WTC development project would attract new bidders – possibly including the Hughes group. Hughes' portfolio is very diverse and the WTC could be a good fit for them, especially if they do not choose to build condos or a hotel on top of the Riverwalk in a second phase. Continue reading »

jewel bush: Why is the French Quarter overrun by gutter punks?
Dianne Honoré has been a French Quarter tour guide off and on for more than 20 years; and this, she said, is the worst it's ever been.
"My heart breaks when I walk through the French Quarter sometimes," Honoré said sipping a coffee in Treme Café on St. Philip Street. "It disgusts me the lack of protection, the level of filth."
Honoré is talking about the all-time high population of "gutter punks" that blanket the French Quarter. The gutter punk colonies run along the river, along Decatur Street. The 500 block of Bourbon Street is a gutter-punk haven; basically all over the French Quarter is, she said. Continue reading »

Owen Courreges: Does anyone really support 20-year sentences for marijuana possession?
Twenty years. That's 7,300 days. It's over a quarter of the average American lifespan, and in Louisiana, it's the amount of time a person can potentially serve for simple possession of marijuana.
While you're picking your jaw up off the floor after hearing that, I should emphasize that we're not talking about dealing. Simple possession refers to quantities too low for distribution. It is a misdemeanor, but only on the first offense. A second offense graduates to a felony punishable by up to five years in jail. After third offense, the maximum goes up to twenty years.

Soooooo, this is Slightly Stoopid. That's pretty much all there is to this album. All I mean, is that all the songs are pretty much what you would expect from the latest Slightly Stoopid album: 420 friendly, "Peace, Man," and sex with girls. I would say if you are a fan of ska/reggae genres, you will definately enjoy the catchy, happy beats (as I do), but will not see much innovation in their style. If you want some popular radio music you should play one of their songs on your show. That's pretty much all I have to say here, unfortunately.
These playful ska punks hail from New Jersey, and their high, high energy and (sensual?) crooning makes you want to jump around a room. They are the punk dudes next door. With a song about Scooby Doo and an exploration of the ukulele and tambourine, you will feel like you're celebrating something hardcore while jamming out to reggae.
(The CD supposedly doubles as a vinyl 45 RPM but I attempted to play it with no luck. Hmm.)
Captain Squeegee is a local ska-rock band from Phoenix that have been keeping up the most skankin-est of tunes. I remember first seeing these guys my junior year of high school at Edgefest, so I was real stoked to see this CD in our mailbox and see that they're still providing ska music to the Phoenix music scene. I had pretty much no expectations going into this album, though, 'cause I haven't seen them or heard them probably since high school. I have to say, I was actually really surprised on how solid this album is.
So this band formed to make music inspired by 60's folk rock and psychedlia while influencing a southwestern latin feel. Guitars and Trumpets are a must, some strings here and there. Some instrumental tracks too. Easy going, good vibes all around. This is an album to listen to when you want to relax and just chill out. This is their second fill length album. They are an independent band from Seattle.
This Irish guy sure does know how to make some good reggae. Basing a lot of his influences on Bob Marley, Kevin Kinsella makes a unique sounding blend of his interesting voice with upbeat rhythms and catchy melodies. He has been a part of several groups before going solo and has even opened for Toots and the Maytals. I thought this was a great starter kit for someone that is not quite sure if they like reggae yet. He is very passionate about his music and released this album on his own label.
From Columbus, Ohio, Shrub is a seven piece ska/reggae/rap/rock fusion band. In September 2010 the band was named High Time's Unsigned Band of the Month. This is the band's debut album, and it was featured in the top ten on Itunes Reggae. The album features work from C-Money of Slightly Stoopid, One-Eyed Doll, and Tropidelic. The band has surely put in work to earn a name for themselves, and I look forward to future projects by them.
BIM SKALA BIM! Keep skankin' all you moonstompin' rude boys and rude girls, because ska is still alive! Bim Skala Bim is an 8-piece ska band from Boston, MA. Their instrumentation consists of trombone, guitar, bass, B3 organ, piano, percussion, drums, saxophone, and funky vocals. While each of the musicians execute the songs greatly, their strongest elements are their vocals and drums/percussion. "Chet's Last Call" is the first release by the band in over a decade, and is full of musical gems.
Give me a minute. I am sorry. I just listened to easily the greatest mix of genres on one CD in all 19 years of my existence. These guys combine African, funk, reggae, roots, rock, and caribe into a mix that leaves you craving more and really thirsty for a pina colada. These guys pull out the bongos and sax for songs that have you banging your head like crazy. I can't wait till these guys put out their next album because I have already listened to this one 300 times. 5/5.
Five Iron Frenzy comes back strong after 10 years of not releasing a studio album. The songs are catchy, with awesome riffs and drumbeats. The melody moves along swimmingly through each song. You can hear what they're saying and the vocals aren't overpowered by the music. The music is fast paced and keeps you locked in and interested. They're lyrics are relatable, dealing with aspects of life. Their incorporation of brass instruments, such as the trombone and trumpet make the sound fuller, adding an extra kick. The added tenor sax makes each song livelier.
I would not really say that this is ska, but it is almost kind of ska. It does have a slight country twag to it, and I am usually not one for that kind of stuff but I really did enjoy this album. The entire album is pretty mellow and it does not really have a super upbeat song on this album. Most of the songs are pretty slow. When I listen to any of these songs I imagine marching through tall grass, so if you enjoy marching through tall grass go and listen and play this CD. And even if you would rather not march through tall grass check it out anyways.

NOPD said three people were arrested in connection with four Algiers vehicle burglaries, and one had a warrant out in connection with an alleged rape in Baton Rouge.
Police say officers responded to the 2500 block of Bristol Place at about 11:50 p.m. Saturday after police received a call from a resident reporting people inside a neighbor's car.
Upon arriving at the scene, officers say they apprehended a 16-year-old. The other two, Rikki Newell and Dwayne Reed, both 18, took off but were quickly tracked down by a K-9 unit, according to the Sheriff's Office
Newell was booked on four counts of simple burglary of a motor vehicle and illegal possession of a stolen firearm.
Information learned by detectives through interviews has led them to investigate Newell as a possible suspect in other car burglaries in Algiers, police say.
Reed was also booked on four counts of simple burglary of a motor vehicle and had a fugitive attachment out of Baton Rouge for an alleged rape, according to police.
The 16-year-old was booked with four counts of simple burglary of a motor vehicle as well as possession of imitation narcotics.

Following their high-profile reconciliation, pop princess Rihanna is to spend New Year with Chris Brown in Barbados.
The superstar singer has booked an exclusive villa on the Caribbean island's Gold Coast for the holidays, which the couple will spend with both of their mothers.
It is thought that the singer hopes to convince her family that Chris is a changed man, following his assault on her back in 2009, which saw him sentenced to 1,400 hours community work. He was also ordered to attend a domestic violence programme.
Heat magazine quoted a source close to the Diamonds singer as saying: "While no one else can understand it, she's convinced that Chris is the love of her life and her soulmate and that they're simply meant to be together.
"She's booked him and his mum into a five-star villa in Barbados over New Year so they can all get some downtime with her family."
According to the insider Rihanna is not listening to the opinion of others and determined to make it work this time.
"The more the public criticise Rihanna for getting back with Chris, the more determined she is to do whatever she wants," they added.
"But they're unrepentant and they want to show the whole world that they've moved on from what happened in 2009."

Neshoba County, Miss. Gov. Phil Bryant wrapped up the political speeches at the Neshoba County Fair Thursday with a recap of what he believes his administration has accomplished in office as well as the future goals for our state. He says he wants people to realize Mississippi's growth.
"We are doing dynamic things; we're leading the nation," said Bryant. "We're not at the bottom. We're at the top 10, top 5. I think people need to understand how fast Mississippi's moving and come on and help us push."
Gov. Bryant largely covered the strides they've been making during his term to increase employment. He says more than 7,000 new jobs were created, along with $1.1 billion in private sector investment.
He also announced a $300,000 teacher training grant to recruit national board certified teachers to our universities.
One of the main topics the governor focused on in his speech was employment. And he says the strides we've been making in the job market bode well for Mississippi in the future.
"Let me tell you the economy is doing some amazing things," said the governor.
He reminded his audience how Nissan brought jobs, followed by Toyota and now Yokohama. He says that trend is continuing, and his office plans to make more announcements next week on additional jobs in our state.
"Economic development is the centerpiece of what we do," said Bryant. "It is the sun in our political universe. And everything else rotates around it: education, healthcare, transportation. We've got to have that growing dynamic economy, and we do."
Columnist Sid Salter says the Neshoba County Fair venue has been such a successful tradition because it allows the audience to hear a politician in a freer atmosphere.
"You see the candidates under pressure in front of a live crowd without the filter of edits or re-dos," said Salter. "And so it's a way to see the politician kind of in his native form and to hear his ability to express his ideas."
Bryant says he loves speaking at the fair because no matter what the fair-goers think, they never hesitate to voice their opinions.

A lone burglar broke into Debby's Diner this morning, but didn't steal any property or cash, police said.
The attempt was first reported at 5:11 a.m. today at the restaurant, 3808 S. Pacific Highway in Phoenix. Grainy surveillance video shows the lone suspect attempting to enter, police said.
"It looked like they tried to pry the front door open, and the frame twisted probably and shattered the window," said Jackson County Sheriff's Department deputy Michael Hermant.
With the alarm sounding, the suspect made a quick entrance to the restaurant before bolting empty-handed, Hermant said. No description was immediately available.

National Parks Northern Style
Canada has some of North America's most spectacular landscapes and thousands of square miles of protected vistas
My quest for new territory soon led me north to Montana's Glacier National Park. With some of the most stunning mountain scenery in the Lower 48, Glacier soon became a favorite destination. After a couple of trips though, I soon realized that the magnificent peaks of Glacier were, in effect, just a small southern extension of the even more awe-inspiring Canadian Rockies, which extend for nearly 1,000 miles north to the Yukon Territory.
Since the establishment of Banff National Park in 1885, the Canadian government has designated a vast network of provincial and national parks that sweep north along the jagged crest of the Continental Divide in one continuous arc. Beginning less than 100 miles northwest of Glacier, you could fly along the Continental Divide for nearly 350 miles and be looking down at parklands the entire time. As you gaze out the window, you'll see 12 parks encompassing more than 11,000 contiguous square miles.
While our national parks in the U.S. now suffer from chronic underfunding and crumbling infrastructure, the Canadians offer a much higher level of efficiency and services. If you've long since given up on trying to shoot Delicate Arch at sunset or Mesa Arch at sunrise because of the swarm of other photographers, take heart; in Canada's parks, you won't find yourself tripping over tripods and camera packs as you jockey for position with throngs of other photographers. You won't be hassled by park rangers trying to determine if you have all the appropriate photography permits and, although you'll encounter smoky skies from time to time, you won't be plagued by endless summer wildfires that now seem to be the norm in and around our western national parks. Instead of having to deal with these issues, you simply have to contend with brilliant turquoise lakes, soaring peaks draped with enormous tumbling glaciers and millions upon millions of acres of wild country. Compared to our parks, it's like traveling 30 years back in time.
In order to narrow things down a bit, I'll focus on the core Rocky Mountain parks of Banff, Jasper and Yoho located along the crest of the Continental Divide.
Jasper National Park
The town of Jasper lies near the center of Jasper National Park and can be reached by driving 179 miles north from the town of Banff. The stretch of road beyond Lake Louise, dubbed the Icefields Parkway, has been described as one of the most beautiful drives in the world. The high point along this drive at Sunwapta Pass serves as the common border between the two parks. The town of Jasper, with its campgrounds and lodges, provides an ideal staging area for accessing both Amethyst Lake and Maligne Lake.

Yoho National Park
British Columbia's Yoho National Park shares a common border along the Continental Divide with Alberta's Banff National Park. From Lake Louise Village, it's only a five-mile drive north and west on the Trans-Canada Highway to the boundary of Yoho and another couple of miles to the parking lot for the shuttle bus to Lake O'Hara. Lake O'Hara is a popular destination, and private vehicular access is prohibited. To reserve a room in the intimate Lake O'Hara Lodge, book at least a year in advance. Tent pads at the 30-site campground near the lake must be reserved by calling three months prior to your arrival. If the campground and lodge are full, a limited number of seats on the bus are reserved for day-hikers and may be acquired by calling the day before. The entire Lake O'Hara basin is restricted to several hundred people per day so once you get in, the experience is sublime.

BELOW: Climber On Huber Ledges. My wife Susie and I began this day by climbing out of the Lake O'Hara basin with our headlamps at 4:30 a.m. in an attempt to climb 11,362-foot Mount Victoria out of view to the left in this image. We were blown off the southeastern ridge by high winds and a veneer of ice coating the rocks. Disappointed, we retreated down from Abbott Pass to Lake Oesa, seen here below the twin pyramids of Ringrose Peak and Hungabee Mountain. As it turned out, this was one of my most productive photography days that summer. You could spend several hours shooting as we did that day around Nymph Pools, Lefroy Lake and Lake Oesa. The surrounding mountains are so enormous that it helps to include a person in the frame to provide scale to the scene. After exhausting the possibilities around Lake Oesa, climb west along the Huber Ledges route where this image was captured. Lake Oesa Valley is arguably the most spectacular of the three high valleys above Lake O'Hara and is accessed easily by an excellent network of trails that begins near the lodge. The Yukness Ledges route starts at Lake Oesa and continues out of the frame at right center. This route provides an excellent vantage point for Lake O'Hara itself, which is out of frame at lower right. While the Lake O'Hara region is a popular winter destination for skiers, the months of July and August offer the best hiking conditions.

Banff National Park
The quickest way to get to Banff National Park is to fly into Calgary International Airport and drive two hours west on the Trans-Canada Highway to the town of Banff. Lake Louise Village is another 45 minutes beyond Banff. If you're already on a road trip near Glacier National Park in Montana, it's a beautiful six-hour drive up the western flank of the Rockies from Kalispell, Mont. In addition to the town of Banff itself, the Lake Louise area is one of the few busy spots you'll encounter in the Canadian Rockies. Of course, "busy" is a relative term; it's a far cry from Coney Island.
ABOVE, LEFT: Moraine Lake. Assuming you've successfully fought your way back through the crowds to your car after shooting sunrise at Lake Louise, it's a quick 15-minute drive south to Moraine Lake in the Valley of the Ten Peaks. No less spectacular, you could also choose to capture first light here as the sunlit Wenkchemna Peaks reflect in Moraine Lake, in the company of a tiny fraction of humanity compared to Louise. The lake was named after the 80-foot-tall pile of rocks at its east end, surmised to be a glacial moraine deposited here by the retreating glaciers. The Rockpile Trail provides easy access to a viewpoint on top of this moraine where I captured this image in late August. I arrived here right after shooting sunrise at Lake Louise as the morning fog in the upper valley was still burning off. The combination of the lake's surface being in shadow and the calm winds allowed for a good reflection in the water, which is typical during the calm summer weather. If you want to capture the brilliant turquoise hue of the lake, you can sleep in and begin shooting around 10 a.m. as the higher sun angle begins to accentuate the water color. With its northeastern-southwestern axis, the lake quickly becomes backlit viewed from the moraine after 1 p.m.

ABOVE, RIGHT: Sunrise At Lake Louise. Sunrise on Mount Victoria over Lake Louise is one of the iconic Canadian Rockies images. Thanks to the monolithic Chateau Lake Louise Hotel towering into the sky at the edge of the water, don't expect to have the place to yourself. Sunrise here is such a powerful experience, however, that the crowd becomes irrelevant as everyone gapes in hushed silence as the scene begins to unfold. As soon as the sunrise show ends, the mayhem begins. Arrive early, before the first rays of daylight illuminate Victoria Glacier high on the east face of 11,362-foot Mount Victoria. One of the best vantage points is right at the lake's outlet on the paved walkway. A graduated neutral-density filter helps reduce the contrast between the sunlit glacier and the dark waters of Lake Louise. Clouds often form around Mount Victoria's summit at sunrise, adding drama to the scene. Due to the silty meltwaters of Victoria Glacier that flow into the lake, Louise takes on a glorious turquoise hue during the high months of summer. Not evident in this early-morning image, this wonderful aquamarine tint is best captured when the sun is high in the sky. A polarizing filter can help enhance the color by reducing reflections from the water's surface. Be warned, however—if you arrive at the parking lot any time after 9 a.m., chances are it will be full.

Publications and Research
Can current school reform policies like the No Child Left Behind Act close the achievement gap?
Studies suggest that prekindergarten can strengthen a child's commitment and attitude toward school, enhance the parenting skills of children's parents, and have positive impacts on family relationships. This policy report summarizes research findings about these wider benefits of early education.
This policy report describes the importance of social and emotional development of children, reviews the evidence that high-quality preschool can promote social and emotional development, and describes characteristics of programs most likely to benefit children.
This policy report examines key issues for public policy related to school readiness, the relationship between school readiness and other factors in young children's lives, and challenges in readying children for kindergarten.
This policy report examines academic and social outcomes of half-day versus full-day kindergarten and trends in provision of full-day programs. Recommendations include balancing anticipated gains from expanding kindergarten schedules against cost considerations and developing classroom and teacher support strategies when moving to full-day.

Bachmann Group Attacks Perry on Immigration
A group supporting Rep. Michele Bachmann's presidential bid will run a radio ad this week that attacks Texas Gov. Rick Perry for being too moderate on immigration.
"Rick Perry signed a law to make taxpayers pay college tuition for illegal immigrants," the ad says. "Michele Bachmann opposes giving government benefits to illegal immigrants."
The ad can be heard here.
It's another signal that Mr. Perry's surge in public opinion polls has forced his rivals to look for weak spots in his resume. Some conservatives say Mr. Perry has been insufficiently tough on illegal immigrants.
Keep Conservatives United, a pro-Bachmann political action committee, produced the one-minute spot. The size of the ad buy is unknown, and the group says the ad will start running Tuesday in Charleston and Columbia, S.C.
The ad refers to legislation that Mr. Perry signed in 2001, giving in-state tuition rates and financial aid to some students who are in the country illegally.
Mr. Perry has a complicated profile on illegal immigration. He has said Texas doesn't need an Arizona-style law that, in his words, would turn state law enforcement officials into "federal immigration officers" by requiring them to ask certain people about their immigration status.
But he also said law enforcement should have the discretion to question whether a person is in the country illegally. That's one reason, he has said, that he worked to ban "sanctuary cities'" that give illegal immigrants certain protections.
Much of Mr. Perry's support comes from the some of the most ideological Republicans, who the congresswoman also aims to woo.
"Illegals take jobs," the ad says. "The difference is clear. To stop illegal immigration, support Michele Bachmann."
So-called Super PACs like the one supporting Ms. Bachmann can raise and spend unlimited sums on politics, so long as they don't coordinate with a candidate's campaign.

I just started taking my dd to daycare about 8 weeks ago and she in 8 weeks contracted bacterial pinkeye,ear infection in left ear,stomach virus and viral infection. She cries when I leave her, but they say she stops when I'm gone. She seems so happy when I come to pick her up and doesn't act like she wants to leave. It's the holiday season so she's been gone about 4 weeks out of the 8, because of her sicknesses, we keep her out. Well today, I took her back after being gone since Thursday. She was screaming, Mommy, Mommy, Mommy! and I just broke down in front of the daycare worker and started crying. I just lost it! She told me it's okay. Can someone please tell me, that it will get better, because I feel like I'm going to go crazy. The other kids there are so calm, but the daycare worker told me it's because they are used to the routine. Please help me put my mind at ease and give me some advice!
Please tell me I'm not alone!

Kegel Exercises For Men
Kegels Will Make You Last Longer In Bed
Learning how to squeeze and contract your PC muscles is easy. The most common way to find out is to cut the flow of urine while urinating. Another way to identify these muscles is to squeeze out the last drops of urine after you finish urinating. A good Kegel exercise only squeezes the PC muscle. There shouldn't be other muscles involved like flexing the buttocks, thighs and abdomen. Once you get the hang of it, you'll learn to contract your penis and anus sphincter muscle separately or at the same time. For more advanced muscle building, you can place a light towel over your erect penis and squeeze to "lift" the towel.
A good regimen for doing Kegel exercises is three workouts per day — morning noon and night. You can start with doing 3 sets of 15 repetitions (rep) per workout. A rep can vary and it's perfectly all right to make up your own routines. A few examples can be one squeeze/contraction as a rep, holding a squeeze for 3 seconds as a rep, alternating a quick contraction and a long squeeze as a rep, or holding your squeeze for a long period of time, such as 30 seconds. You can do your workouts with clothes on, during commercials, at work or in bed. Some couples do Kegel exercises together. He gets erect, penetrates her, and they alternate doing reps. For those of you who haven't yet tried, it's a lovely feeling to have a vagina do a Kegel exercise with your penis inside.
Start practicing. Strengthen your pelvic muscles. With all the positive medical and sexual health benefits, everyone should be doing their daily Kegels.
There's no reason not to, and your medical and sexual health will increase in the long run.

Most AM2+ motherboards today also support AM3 processors by simple bios updates. Same is the case with Asus. However, I am not sure about the difference between the previous M3A Series AM2+ boards and their M4A Series (e.g. M4A78-EM / VM) AM2+ which indicates that the boards are "Brand New Design and Optimized for AM3". This is purely qualitative and I can't find further explanations anywhere. Does this mean that those with simple "AM3 Support" AM2+ boards are not as good as those classified as "Optimized for AM3?"
I am planning on using an AM3 Processor on and AM2+ board (to use my DDR2 memory with low latency) and I am a bit curious about the positioning of these new boards from Asus. On top of that, there is a price premium for these boards, and hopefully, this translates to better performance.

Enthusiasm Over Venezuela's Finance Minister Fast Overshadowed by Central Bank Head
The limited optimism that Venezuelan President Nicolas sparked with his appointment of central bank Nelson Merentes as the fiscally challenged country's new finance minister was short-lived.
Markets saw Mr. Merentes, a mathematician and former finance minister, as more pragmatic than Jorge Giordani, a devout statist who held the post but will retain his other role as planning minister.
But in announcing that former commerce minister Edmee Betancour will replace Mr. Merentes as central bank chief, Mr. Maduro quickly doused any thinking that he would chart a course away from the "revolutionary" policies of his old boss, Hugo Chavez.
That's because as commerce minister, "she promoted various laws to regulate the cost of food in Venezuela," Barclaysid in a Tuesday note.
Restrictive foreign exchange and price controls are widely blamed for Venezuela's high inflation and shortages of various consumer goods. Aggressive government spending—the fiscal deficit last year ran in the mid-teens by many estimates—has also fueled inflation that is forecast to run around 30% this year.
Like Mr. Giordani, Ms. Betancour studied engineering, and they are seen as allies, Barclays notes.
"Betancourt's appointment suggests that Mr. Maduro may not necessarily have a clear view of where he wants to go and is not opposed to views of the more ideological factions of his governments," Eurasia Group, a political risk consultant, said in a report. "Had Mr. Maduro truly wanted to empower Mr. Merentes, he would have allowed him to at least influence who would succeed him at the central bank."
The optimism was probably misplaced anyway.
Although Mr. Merentes did encourage dollar liquidity during his previous two stints as finance minister, but he also contributed greatly to Venezuela's inflation with uber-easy monetary policy as the central bank chief.
"We do not expect to see significant changes in monetary policy," Goldman Sachsid. "Severe fiscal dominance should continue to constrain monetary policy, and we expect the central bank to continue to validate loose monetary conditions (highly negative real interest rates)."

GE Ramps Up Investment in Personalized Medicine
By Kate Linebaugh
GE is ramping up its investment in personalized medicine, reflecting the burgeoning interest in using genetic information to help tailor treatments to individual patients.
The conglomerate is buying — for an undisclosed sum — SeqWright, a Houston company that provides contract genomic sequencing.
As pharmaceutical companies develop more targeted treatments for different diseases such as cancer, doctors need to know more about the particular biological traits of different cancers to figure out the most effective therapies to prescribe.
That's where GE hopes to come in, by developing technologies to better identify the genetic profile of cancers and other illnesses. Last year, the conglomerate said it would spend $1 billion over the next five years to research and develop advanced cancer diagnostic technology and molecular-imaging capabilities, as well as produce biopharmaceuticals.
Two years ago, GE paid $580 million for cancer-diagnostics company Clarient — the foundation of its expansion into molecular diagnostics. SeqWright will provide more in-depth analysis of genomic sequencing through its ability to assess deeper chunks of genetic material, GE says.
The deal will "deepen the services we can provide to pharmaceutical companies," Clarient CEO Carrie Eglinton-Manner tells the Health Blog.
SeqWright will continue its contract work with pharma companies like Eli Lilly and Roche, which have used its technologies to identify variants in diseases ranging from psychiatric disorders to heart ailments. The company also worked with the U.S. Department of Agriculture to map the complete genetic-coding sequences of 150 different avian-influenza viruses.

So I've been trying to get the clunks out of my 300M for months now so I can
give the car to my in-laws. First under the extended warranty. Now its on
my nickel. Front struts were replaced. So was steering rack and some other
odd pieces. At that point clunks became unpredictably intermittent and no
amount of jostling the car or moving things underneath could duplicate them.
On my nickel the bottom half of the steering column was replaced and the
front struts were replaced again along with the bearing plates they sit on.
Now the clunk is even rarer but still happens. The annoying thing about it
is each time I remind the dealer not to overtighten the screws for the wiper
trim but they always ruin the plastic blocks they screw into. Also each
time the steering wheel is crooked when I pick up the car. I just left them
the car to fix those 2 issues again. I will be giving up on the clunk and
with the purchase of 2 Honda's, that will be it for Chrysler for a while.

i've fixed the problem...but i get a new problem
I set a new window background with the pixmap,
::XSetWindowBackgroundPixmap(display, new_window, pixel);
::XClearArea(display, new_window, 0,0, width, height, True);
//size of new_window is larger than window's here, it works~~
but when a Expose event, the whole background of new_window will be
full of the pixmap. i don't know why it was normal after XClearArea and
was wrong after a Expose event?
how to fix it?

During the past few years physicians, and pediatricians in particular, have been making earlier diagnoses in cases of masked anomalous conditions in new-born infants. This is probably due to a better understanding of the symptoms of these conditions and to the newer knowledge of the benefits of early surgical intervention.
E., a boy, was born at a private hospital. Pregnancy had been normal. Low forceps delivery was necessary, and some difficulty was encountered in delivering the posterior shoulder. There was a little trouble in resuscitation, but otherwise the baby appeared normal in every respect. After the usual interval he was put to the breast, but he did not nurse well and had a tendency to gag and vomit the milk taken. Twelve hours after delivery it was noted that he did not use his right arm and that the arm hung limp at all times. Twenty-four

The stories of inmates at Iowa's women's prison in Mitchellville have been documented and now released to the public in a documentary film.
A New York City film distribution company Women Make Movies released "The Grey Area" on DVD at the end of February. Grinnell alumnus Noga Ashkenazi spent hours filming the documentary, her first feature film, behind the walls of the Iowa Correctional Institution for Women.
"The Grey Area" made its public debut at Hollywood's Arclight Cinemas during the Los Angeles Documentary Film Festival on Nov. 6. The film will appear at other yet-to-be-announced film festivals this spring.
Ashkenazi, 28, of Chicago, is also planning multiple educational screenings in Iowa and other parts of the Midwest in April. Screenings are currently scheduled in Marshalltown (April 18, 7 p.m. at The Orpheum Theater Center ) and Grinnell (April 19, 7 p.m. at Grinnell College).
The DVD may be purchased online through the the movie's website or the Women Make Movies website.

Hi Sara,
I wouldn't ... depending on how many rows of each color you're doing...
No need to make more finishing work for yourself...
If you're switching colors every 2 or 3 rows, just carry the colors up & start using a new one when you need to. Be sure to occasionally "catch" the colors you're carrying (by twisting the one you're carrying around the one you're working with) so there aren't big loopy carrys on the back that the wearer would snag a finger in.

UPDATE: Robbery suspect shot after pulling gun on Lewisville police dies
Update, 10:15 a.m.:
The robbery suspect shot by police last night has died, according to WFAA-TV (Channel 8).
Channel 8 identified the suspect as 31-year-old Roger Preston Hamill. He died shortly after 11 last night.
Lewisville police have handed the case over to the Texas Rangers and referred all questions to them.
We've got a call in seeking comment from the Rangers.
Original entry:
The Texas Rangers are investigating a police-involving shooting last night that left a man accused of attempting to rob a McDonalds patron hospitalized.
According to NBCDFW.com, police responded to the 500 block of E Round Grove Rd near Interstate 35-E and the Sam Rayburn Tollway around 10:20 p.m. for the report of a man attempting to rob a customer in a McDonalds drive-thru.
After an employee initially called police, the suspected robber fled the area in a pickup with Oklahoma license plates. Police caught up to the suspect in a nearby parking lot and performed a "known-risk stop" on the man.
The man, who was ordered out of the vehicle, pointed a gun at the police officers. Police opened fire on the suspect. He was transported to an area hospital and it's unclear whether or not he survived. Evidence at the scene indicated at least a dozen shots were fired, but it's unknown how many police officers opened fire.
The three officers involved have been placed on routine administrative leave. Lewisville police say the case has been handed over to the Texas Rangers for investigation.

Autauga County - Prattville Tornado
November 30, 2010
Event Summary
A National Weather Service Damage Assessment Team has surveyed the storm damage in Autauga County. It has been determined the damage was the result of a tornado. The tornado has been rated an EF-1 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale. Damage estimates were consistent with winds around 90 mph.
The tornado touched down near the Selma Highway and County Road 29, just south of the Autauga County Airport. A few trees were snapped off at this location. The tornado traveled northeastward and crossed Highway 82 near Steward Street. This was the site of the most significant damage. Numerous trees were uprooted, several homes sustained minor roof damage and a few metal buildings were damaged. The tornado then crossed US Highway 31 near Prattville Middle School where an awning was damaged and tossed at least 50 yards. Roof coverings and awnings were also damaged on several homes and businesses along Sheila Blvd. The tornado finally lifted a few tenths of a mile west of the Elmore County line in the Premiere Place Shopping Center. Here a portable, free standing security tower was damaged. The tornado damage path was 5.8 miles long and was 150 yards wide at its widest point.
This damage path was very similar to the EF-3 tornado back in 2008.

Meet the Attendee: New Castle Harley Davidson - Bill Bomberger, Owner
New Castle Harley Davidson – New Castle, PA
Bill Bomberger – Owner
37 Years Attending
How long have you been coming to the show?
Believe or not, I have been coming to the show since 1972. I was just a teenager working at a Harley Davidson shop the first year I came to the show. It's funny; the basis of the show hasn't changed a whole lot since then. Of course, there used to be a lot more parting associated with the event, and now-a-days it seems the show is more business oriented. But hey we all had long hair, listened to rock music and that was appropriate for that time. Now we are focused on our businesses so it's good to see the show changing with the times.
What kind of things are you looking for when you come to the show?
The show is spring training for me, I use the show to get motivated and I look for any merchandising ideas that I can bring back to my store. When I use to race I used it to make connections with any product we might need to support our team. We also use it as a reason to meet up with other individuals we needed to see. The show gave us a good platform to discuss details and fine tune contracts.
On a personal note, I have always liked gear… any aftermarket gear. I'm not bias in my business to just Harley and I like to see exactly what the industry outside of the Harley market is providing. Don't get me wrong, I still buy a lot of Harley Davidson product, any HD dealership is going to do that. As an HD dealer you got to take advantage of the brand and support the factory but knowing what's on the market is what helps me make the best decision possible. Even if I don't purchase non Harley product for my store, I try to be aware of what's being offered and what I'm up against. Having this awareness allows me to figure out what customers are buying in general. That information influences what I might want to sell to my customers. Sometimes I find things at the show that are not Harley but will sell well and I buy them. But by seeing what's out there it helps influence what products I might want to stock in my purchases with Harley. Don't let them tell you it's not all connected, every market influences the others.
In my opinion, if you don't know what's going on outside of the Harley industry you can't run your business properly. Especially in with today's market, it's much more important to be aware of what's going on the entire industry. Since I go every year, that's not a concern of mine but if was a Harley dealer who hadn't been coming to the show in the past, this might be a great year to reconsider.
Outside of products are there other things you find at dealer expo?
I always hook up with other friends, old friends and other Harley Davidson dealer's I don't get to see very often. Expo is sometimes the one place I can see these people every year. Even companies I do business with, I don't always get to see them in my dealership so it's nice to say hello. I've been in this industry a long time so I know a lot of people, but as the industry grows its harder to keep in touch. I like that I can see those people when I'm at the show. And this isn't just a quick shaking of hand or an after hour's party; we actually sit down and talk business when we are at the show.
Dealer Expo has always offered great ideas to help you understand how to display your items, mixing and matching products to give it the right appeal for your customers. This could be as simple as the way pipes are displayed or how a bike is dressed or the combination of products for kits. Just because it's a dirt bike product or a sport bike product doesn't mean the display concepts don't work. At least with Dealer Expo I can get a well rounded feel for how things are being sold, that crosses over in any market. Anything I might see that I think can help me change my dealership up, I'm going to see at Dealer Expo.
How many days do you generally spend at the show?
I always spend at least 1 and 1/2 days but 2 if we need the time. Because I'm in the Harley market I don't need as much time. I still have people I need to meet with, and companies to be discovered but it allows me enough time to get the job done a lot quicker. Being as close as I am it's pretty easy to drive out. We always start at one corner of the show and work our way across. I know who I want to see and where they are and we try to hit them as we make our way through. Of course, we always look the whole show over first then we go back and hit up the companies that really caught our eye, that's when we get into the meat of things and gather additional information or try to negotiate.
Have you taken advantage of any of the Educational Seminars?
In the past I have always took advantage of the education. Last year I only had a day to spend, so we didn't have time to attend any of the seminars. However, I'm hoping to catch some of them this year… any idea is a good idea if you can make it work in your business.
If you could offer advice to your peers what would your suggestion be?
I have known some dealers that go to the show and some dealers that don't go to the show. The guys that don't go, that are Harley Davidson, just don't think they have any reason to be out there. They say that it is all aftermarket. You and I know there is plenty of Harley Davidson product offered at the show, but it's not just about Harley product it's about understanding your market as a whole.
Although I believe it's important that you attend your own manufacturer shows, if you only do that show you are limiting yourself as a dealer. By going to Dealer Expo your opening your mind up to the entire industry, ultimately your niche is just a small part of that entire marketing, so I think it's important you support it and use it to your advantage.
