High pressure has started to build in towards the area, and that has drastically reduced our cloud cover and limited rain shower development so far today. Highs have touched 90 already at Key Field and NAS Meridian. Temperatures will continue the upward trend into the first part of the weekend.
With high pressure building in, it will be a lot harder for showers to form. However, a very small rain chance cannot be ruled out as we start the weekend as an area of low pressure is trying to organize in the Gulf of Mexico just south of Panama City. While this system is not expected to develop into anything, it could send some showers and storms our direction, especially for locations south of I-20. We will watch this, but again the rain chance is so low that I will leave that out of the official forecast.
Highs will climb to the mid 90s for Saturday before we back off to the low 90s into the start of next week as some cooler air wraps around our area of high pressure. This will be short lived as highs return to the mid 90s by next Wednesday as warmer air begins to arrive from our west.

Why you never have to pick just one eye shadow shade? Shawna Thompson's flawless beauty look is why. Her lids donned a light lavender while her bottom lashes were lined with a periwinkle hue.
While her glam pulled-to-the-side tendrils are of mention, Danielle Bradbury's lashes are outrageously stunning—and super long!
Kellie Pickler's 'do is almost giving us the bravery to chop our long locks into a bob. The country singer rocked a side-part and immaculate red carpet waves.
The cool blue iridescent shadow in the corner of Miranda Lambert's eye made her charcoal beauty look even sexier.
Host Carrie Underwood showed off her long blonde layers with a down hairdo and went all out with her sparkly shadow and midnight black lined lids.
Kimberly Perry painted her pout in a light bubblegum pink shade and lined her bottom lashes with winter white eyeliner.
If you're planning on going dark and need inspiration, take a look at Lucy Hale's rich brunette hue. She completed her red carpet beauty look with a smokey eye and a glossy nude lip.
Kacey Musgraves gave the barely-there makeup trend a needed zest with a glowy silver shadow in the inner corners of her eyes.

She was with child (actually, eight of them), and there was no room for her at the inn (actually, an out-of-state kill shelter). Her time had just about run out when an angel (volunteer) alerted the Sullivan County SPCA that an adoptable dog was on death row.
"It was clear that she was a very sweet and adoptable dog," said shelter President Dana Hawk, "and she and her puppies didn't deserve to perish."
The shelter took in Liza, a 2-year-old Plott hound mix, Sept. 28.
"When she arrived at the SPCA, she was really pregnant," said Hawk, "so it was difficult to see just how skinny she was. She actually looked like a goat with her long ears, fat belly and protruding hip bones."
Because of her emaciated state, Liza went into premature labor after shelter hours Oct. 7. Luckily, a shepherd was keeping watch over her flock.
"We are blessed at the shelter to have a volunteer who checks on the animals each night," said Hawk. "Cindy Geelhoad came in to find Liza in labor and distress, as one of the puppies was caught in the birth canal."
And she was sore afraid.
Geelhoad rushed Liza to the vet for an emergency C-section, but only two of her eight puppies survived.
"Liza was then pampered with a diet of sardines, scrambled eggs and good dog food. She and her pups fattened up nicely," said Hawk.
The babes were wrapped in swaddling blankets and could be found lying on a heating blanket at the shelter.
When she wasn't with her pups, Liza roamed the shelter and greeted visitors. She loved being a mother and is reported as being the only nursing dog the shelter has seen who didn't get tired of feeding her babies after six weeks.
"Even now, although her puppies have been adopted, Liza will run into kennels where other puppies are being kept when the staff goes in to clean," said Hawk.
Liza is now healthy. She is great with other dogs and cats and is very affectionate with people.
I pray this Christmas that someone will come forward and open their heart and home to Liza. That would bring tidings of great joy. After all, that's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.
To adopt Liza, call the SCSPCA at 796-3120.
Donations are needed for Liza's $500 vet bill for her C-section and spay and can be sent to Sullivan County SPCA, 104 Rock Hill Drive, Rock Hill 12775.

6 month old being admitted
My daughter will be 6 months old next week and eats like a champ, but barely gains weight. She was born at 6lb 12oz and was 9lb 6.6oz at her last weigh in 2 weeks ago. I think she will be right around 10lb at her 6 months visit. She has no medical probalems that we know of except reflux and MSPI. At 4 months, her pedi wanted her in the hospital and with an NG tube, but I refused and he sent her on to a pedi GI. The GI is doing tests slowly and just doing weight checks and monitoring her reflux. Have you seen a pedi GI yet? Also, does his cardio have anything to say about it? I was told heart problems often cause poor weight gain.
Married my love Michael 1-2-10.
Abigail Alison born 11-11-11.
My 10 month old daughter eats aton, but doesn't gain, hasn't since Dec. or when she does gain an oz or so she loses it by her next 2 week. her doctor has figured she eats around 1500 cals aday, but she's taken her off purees and put her on table foods since she gained 3 ozs on that to see if that'll help her some. We won't know until Tues. But she's dif. eating more than 1500 now. Her doctor brought up hosptial at 8 months, but hasn't since so I'm actually going to bring it up since she's only 15.2 at 10 months and was 9.2 at birth so she's only up 6 pounds.
its nice to know I'm not alone!
He just saw a pedi GI and she wanted to get the ng in him asap. but I got her to postpone a week now the pedi says we have no other option. while in the hostpital they are gonna take a look at him heart someone and see if the issues he has can explain the weigh isssues. Right now he is such a bright light! I just can tell that slowly its started to affect him. I have said no to the ng in the past because I wanted to give him a chance to gain with more cals. Now they said I don't have a choice anymore. Im just hoping it works without complications
^^ you can tell my daughters lack of gain is starting to affect her as well, that's why I'm gonna bring it up. It's hard to see a once so happy engerntic little girl act tired all the time, you can tell she's still really happy but she just looks like she's tired or sick all the time.
to admit him because they were goo g to wait a week and I knew he's only lose more weight. Well the stubborn bugger ended up with an NG because he's rather go hungry then drink anything g other then breast milk. We did pediasure, whole milk, formulas, he won't take any of it not by bottles, sippy cups, and his soils intake is obviously minimal due to the fact that he just turned 10 mths. He was 17 lbs upon admission and had been 17 at his 6 mth check so he nearly dropped off the charts. He's also long.... He has gained 1lb 8oz in a week and a half with the NG tube.
I am waiting for my youngest ones Dr to call me back with an appt time. She's also getting her NG put back in while we wait for the GI to approve the Gtube.

M is 19lb, 30"
Failure to Thrive: MSPI, Multiple Food Allergies
Waiting for a Diagnosis
We do but she's had it out for 3mths. We are only agreeing to put it back in because they won't put in a Gtube until her current GI sees how she does with the NG. Last time she had it in, she pulled it out almost every day, sometimes more than once a day. When they put itinat the hospital, they were required to do an xray each time.
OP - Did the cardiologist tell you that he burns more calories because of his heart condition? I've heard that before and was wondering if that was true for you.
My DD stops eating sometimes. She is doing good right now by getting in 18-22oz a day but that's not enough. She did really good with weight gain while onthe feeding tube and now that she's on Elecare. If she would have left it in, that would have been great. I just couldn't keep putting it back in 4-5 times a day, for every feeding.

This company is so EVIL. Not only do they lay off US workers after sending their jobs to the Philippines and India but they also charge 20.00 to verify your time worked at this sh(& h?o&e!
as opposed to what company in the US that doesn't do that?
Looks like they are hiring in El Paso lol common they are going to do what they have to do to make money. Do I agree with everything, not really but, they make money and are still hiring here in the states. That is the reason you invest money is to make money and it is that simple.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
So you think it is okay to rape the American people!

Skip to comments.Claim: Kids who say 'yuck' may be racist
Posted on 07/07/2008 1:55:16 PM PDT by tflabo
LONDON, July 7 (UPI) -- Toddlers who say "yuck" when given flavorful foreign food may be exhibiting racist behavior, a British government-sponsored organization says.
The London-based National Children's Bureau released a 366-page guide counseling adults on recognizing racist behavior in young children, The Telegraph reported Monday.
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
"You gave Chile to a Baby?" - Mr. Mom
If you don't pro-actively fight the Stalinists running your government, you are all doomed.
Between the Orwellian government madness and pervasive mohammedan savagery, you don't stand a chance if you are unwilling to fight back.
Mark my words.
I was wondering what the gang at Monty Python's Flying Circus was up to these days.
Feed your kid live grubs then punish them if they don't like it.
So many forces acting to eliminate Western culture, it truly is amazing.
How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your goat?
Leftist insanity...and it's coming to America and your town if Barack Hussein Obama is elected president.
Individual freedoms will be significantly curtailed...all in the name of 'multiculturalism', 'tolerance' and of course "for the children". This is no right-wing fantasy, it's happening in Europe now and Marxist politicians like Barack Obama can't wait to introduce it here...and they will, while America sleeps...until they wake up and it's too late, then.
This is beyond tragic.
People who see racism in a child saying "yuck" are racist.
They see race in everything.
Lock the little buggers up in your re-education camps, arrest the parents and punish them!
Stupid Stupid Stupid.
Of course this can only apply to white kids!
This attitude is so stupid that I cannot put my disgust into words! Only brain-dead morons would even bring this to print!
TRANSLATION: "Whites Only..."
Will vomiting up the food be considered racist as well? Will grocery stores be forced to employ affirmative action in the pricing and placement of "underrepresented non-traditional" foods? If an ethnic restaurant fails, will it be also be decried as evidence of racism, with the successful restaurants being forced to pay restitution?
The eunuchs running things over there would probably say it's racist if a kid refused to eat arsenic some moose-limb put on their plate.
To the ROP; Yuck Foo.
"I was wondering what the gang at Monty Pythons Flying Circus was up to these days."
I think the Labour Party drove them out of business.
I draw the line on raw grub worms and termite grubs. I guess that makes me a racist, but if I do eat them, and vomit, I'll still be branded as racist. (because I couldn't keep them down?)
the brits are committing suicide.
bets are on for when islam becomes the national religion.
Yuck to Marxism.
They cut their own throats with the knife of PC. 366 pages? Some people just really need lives.
What if a white child eats a bite of ethnic food, says Yuk!, and then throws up all over the floor, with ethnic children in the same room.
Obviously, that is an offense of a far greater magnitude and will require much more severe punishment and correction.
And actually becoming sick, and even missing a day of pre-school because of it, would be an affront to the ethnics that, well, we can scarcely contemplate how offensive and racist that would be.
Parts of the West are being taken over by complete fools, more nicely described as culturally sensitive, guilt-ridden white folks.
I always ate my fish ball soup and fried eye of newt...Mom always rewarded me with a fat cow tongue for desert...So I'm cool.
My dad gives my brothers and I the steel-eyes.
He asks the maitre d' to remove the nori from the table.
Turns out, they'd seen some photo in National Geographic, and the caption had led them astray.
Who'd a figured?
Sanity must be on Holiday again.
un-Brave New World indeed.
"Toddlers who say "yuck" when given flavorful foreign food may be exhibiting racist behavior"
Maybe they just don't like the taste. To the National Childrens' Bureau, I say YUCK!
National Children's Bureau. Why do I have this picture of effeminate men and Marxist women?
Does haggis count as "foreign?"
England, you are out of your mind.
But I'll bet if a minority kid refuses to eat a cracker, that's OK.
Get some pygmy headhunters together and have them make a yummy lunch for those at the children's bureau.
With no empires left to lose, it's now losing its mind.
Indeed. Another case of "truth is stranger than fiction." I didn't think it was possible, but liberals are becoming even more idiotic than I ever imagined they could be, and I have the bar set quite high as to how idiotic they can be. Unbelievable.
"Racist incidents among children in early years settings tend to be around name-calling, casual thoughtless comments and peer group relationships," the guide says.
Well, kids can learn racist attitudes/beliefs and behavior at very young ages. Just look at what Palestinian children are taught about Jews.
You won't try a ham sandwich? What are you, some kind of racist?
I've always said, there is a reason they eat weird stuff in different countries, they have to or they will starve! Me?, not so much. I eat what I like!
a 10 y/o in some 3rd world crap hole would rather eat bugs wrapped in leaves?, or a nice chunk of chicken breast with corn on the cob?
...the guide, titled Young Children and Racial Justice, warns adults that babies must also be included in the effort to eliminate racism because they have the ability to "recognize different people in their lives."
How contemptible. Politicizing infancy.
Anyone for a second helping of Durian fruit?
It smells somewhat like a decomposing zebra.
"What's that? Tastes like chicken," he said.
"Cow's stomach," I replied. He immediately started puking. Fortunately, it was in the kitchen and I was quick enough to get out of the way.
"They see race in everything."
Baby has brown poo in his diaper? Racist.
I see nothing wrong with saying yuck or ick. Sassy & I said it the whole time we were cleaning the snapper turtle. She didn't want to even taste it & I said fine. By then I wasn't too sure I wanted it either lol. I tried to get all my children to try different foods & if they didn't like them that was fine by me. I think the people who make this bs up are full of yuck anyhow. Pandy
You need to get over here quick and defend Britain!

Japan's police still unfettered by the law, or the truth
by Debito Arudou
Repeat-offending Ibaraki police called to account for backsliding on the issue of hotel snooping.
Repeat-offending Ibaraki police called to account for backsliding on the issue of hotel snooping.
After more than 30 years of studying Japan, I've learned to appreciate one thing people here do well: living in the moment.
Ordinance officially 'Japanizes' the naming and shaming of haters, which is at least a start.
A rundown of the top 10 human rights issues of the past year as they affected non-Japanese residents.
Readers praise and pan Community articles from the past 12 months.
The past year has seen a number of tugs-of-war, as conservatives promoted past glories and preservation of the status quo while liberals lobbied for unprecedented levels of tolerance.
Japan has a dire problem it must address immediately: its embedded racism. The country's society and government are permeated by a narrative that says people must "look Japanese" before they can expect equal treatment in society. That must stop. It's a matter of Japan's ...
With the security bills now law, the next step is to put soldiers on the conveyor belt and feed them to the sacrificial altar of Yasukuni.
The left keeps losing, and much of it is its own damned fault.
If Japan cannot get over the conceit of having to "look Japanese" to be treated as one, then it cannot make "new Japanese," and the country will continue to sink into an insolvent economic abyss.
Ever noticed how Japan — and in particular, its ruling elite — keeps getting away with astonishing bigotry? Recently Ayako Sono, a former adviser of the current Shinzo Abe government, sang the praises of a segregated South Africa, effectively advocating a system where people ...
The American historian whose book has been slammed by the Japanese government for its content on WWII sex slaves speaks out.

In Kemper County Saturday many residents gathered at the courthouse square to remember those who have gone on and those men and women of the armed forces that are continuing the fight.
It was a day of celebration through song, poetry and prayer for our serviceman and women and our country.
The late veteran Joe Williams of DeKalb earned the sonny Montgomery Patriot Award for his service in World War II.
Chief Master Jerome Jackson of the Air National Guard and his son Stephen served as the first father son duo to lay the wreath during this ceremony.
Congressman Gregg Harper was the guest speaker and he reflected on our freedoms and the gratitude Americans should have.
"And to go back and celebrate Independence Day and carry forward and let us know to never forget the responsibility we have to others that have gone before us," Third Congressional District Representative Gregg Harper said.
It was Harper's first Fourth of July speech and he says he was delighted to return back to the city where he first announced his run for congressman.

Busy signals kept buzzing this week as workers struggled to restore phone service at town hall. At one point, employees were unable even to call each other. The town posted a message on its website directing callers to an e-mail address where they could contact staffers.
Of course, the lack of ringing phones had one advantage. "I can't believe how much work we've got done," one staffer observed.

Just a quick blog to introduce you to the two main characters of my current work in progress!
It's a pity I can't draw their pictures for you:(
Mrs Catherine Meadows
Catherine, or 'Cat', is the headstrong, rebellious daughter of the local Lord of the Manor, who decided to elope with her best friend in order to escape her father's tyrannical household. Since then she has become the head of the smuggling ring working from her young husband's inn, 'The Swan'.
Willing to do anything to get what she wants, the young Mrs Meadows sees herself, not justas one of the lads but as their ringleader. But then one morning shots ring out across the beach killing half her crew and the fun of smuggling becomes a fight for survival.
Lady Lillian Exquemelin (Ess-quem-ell-een)
Lillian Exquemelin is the daughter of an English Privateer and the Granddaughter of a Dutch Pirate. Having always sought to make a better life, ultimately it is her relations who let her down when she inherits mounds of her father's debt.
Desperate and destitute the brave Lady Lily finds herself with the one thing that could change her fortune; a map to her father's hidden gold.
Armed with no more than their wits these two women set about finding their fortunes but don't count on finding each other!

This company manager led me to believe that he is trying to work things out with me because i was unable to have them deliver my household goods after the 30 days free storage. I send him an email to
schedule the delivery of my household goods. His response is; leave my stuff in the storage and he will be paying for it until the end of March 2013.
The following email message i received from Michael the manager; is demanding me to put $1500(remainder balance) to his bank account but yet refused to provide me where my household goods at. I also mentioned to Micheal that one of of his staff is trying to steal from me. Michael didn't say a word about that. One of the mover took my daughter mini stereo component/ipad speaker dock without permission. I have been receiving email threats from Michael. He indicated on his email that he is going to sue me and auction my household goods and demanding more money even I had beg him to deliver my household goods already. My experience with this company has been unsatisfactory because of misleading information.

***Do not use this Home Warranty Company.***First of all the contractors they use mark up the cost of the jobs by a 1000%. When I asked for a second opinion because my family works in the business and I know they ripping me off, they told me "we don't do second opinions... you can take it or do the cash buy out".
It was going to cost me a 1/3 of the cost if I didn't have coverage to have this First American Home Warranty company to come out and to the job. It just so happens that their "buy out" was only 1/3 the coverage cost for me to go out and get the job done myself.
After just moving into this house, I just don't have the funds to cover they fraudulent contractors price. I was told I have 10 days to either pay their contractor to come out and do the work or they would automaticaly send out the cash out settlement.
Everything about this company and the contractors they use is crooked.

I have been watching this mutual-admiration society flourish, that heavenly fellowship of journalists that perish, or at least swoon at the presence of each other, and doing so with some degree of amusement--this has all the earmarks of the patter you hear on the Academy Awards and that ilk. You don't want to miss this exchange:
Connie, stroking.
John, gushing.

what's up with that?!
I'd say you're one lucky guy. It all goes back to that "birds of a feather" syndrome. You happen to focus outward. You're concerned about other people and your community. These local journalistic types seem to be sort of self-conscious and self-absorbed. Nothing goes anywhere when there's regional navel-gazing.ReplyDelete

Received mats quick and in good shape. The rubber is good quality and the non skid with dimples have good grip so the mats won't slide and feet don't slip. The fit is a little rough, doesn't quite fit to all contours but they fit and look good. They do have an odor but its not bad. Overall I'm happy with them. I bought the 2 front, middle and rear cargo mats.

its been common knowledge that you just dont go to parts of big cities for years but the relatively new tread to flash mobs in what where safe areas is disturbing. Flash mobs seem to a by product of the 99% movement and occupy movements when the idea was to use a flash mob to take over a place. Out west they added violence to the mob and now young black flash mobs seem to be only about the violence. In NY its so bad that some bussiness owners are closing down in the afternoons to avoid the mobs. Drudge has the current story if anyone wants to link it.
This is directly tired to where we are as a nation and the priorities of the white house.

Terrebonne council shortens comment period
Published: Monday, August 9, 2010 at 7:36 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, August 10, 2010 at 8:28 a.m.
HOUMA — If you want to talk to the Terrebonne Parish Council, be sure to have your comments down to three minutes.
The council unanimously voted Monday to shorten the time given to public speakers from five to three minutes. Members have said certain residents, namely frequent council critic Reggie Bourg, take up too much time at meetings by speaking multiple times about different agenda items.
If a speaker wishes to have more time on a topic, any council member can extend that person's time if they choose.
State law does not regulate how long a public-speaking period must be. But the council is required by state law to allow public comments at least once during a meeting.

I refused to pay Capital One for any future charges and I kept getting statements with charges and interest. They added late fees and non payment fees. My credit card charges went from 0 to over $2000. in about 2 years. They keep giving the account to Law Firms and they call me everyday. I refuse to pay them a penny more. I have had other companies credit cards and have never had this problem. I love Chase. I can always rely on Chase to cancel a purchase if I dispute it and take the charges off which Capital One refused to do.
Capital One acted as if the more charges they could get on my bill the more I would have to pay them and it would never end. Several times I called them and they refused to help in any way. It was bad enough my call was going to Pakistan and I had to deal with people who were trained to be difficult and not help the customer in any way... I gave up and I have sent letters to the attorneys twice and talked to them on the phone. Some of them have been understanding and then the case goes to another one. I get calls everyday from a lawfirm in Las Vegas but I refuse to pay them one dime.

Questions to Ask of a Top-Performing Fund
GREG MCBRIDE: Ask yourself what has made a fund a top performer. Was the investment style in vogue? Was there leverage, or other excessive risk employed? Just because it was a top performer doesn't make it a buy. Both the top-performing investment styles and the specific funds that do well in any given year are often primed for underperformance in the year that follows.
This is why it is important to have a diversified portfolio–buying the entire market rather than just select pieces of it–so that when something performs well, no matter what part of the market it is, as investors we participate in that upside.
Here are some additional, relevant questions investors should ask when investing. Does this particular fund fill in a missing piece of my investment allocation and add to my diversification? Is there a lower-cost alternative, such as an index fund, that can serve the same purpose? And, am I in this for the long haul, or am I just chasing this fund based on recent performance?
Greg McBride (@BankrateGreg) is senior vice president and chief financial analyst for Bankrate.com, providing analysis and advice on personal finance.

text: syracuse football For Syracuse Quarterback AJ Long, Size Doesn't Matter By Sean Farrell • Oct 21, 2014 He led Syracuse to its first win in over a month. He's thrown more touchdowns in two games than Terrel Hunt did in five. And he became the first true freshman in team history to win his starting debut. Even at a young age, AJ Long has shown the traits of a successful college quarterback – the strong arm, the quick feet and the mental confidence. But Long admits that back in high school, he started thinking he wouldn't be good enough to play Division-I football. There was always that one trait missing: the height. In First Career Start, AJ Long Ends SU Football's Losing Streak By Sean Farrell • Oct 18, 2014 First, defensive tackle John Raymon beat the odds by recovering from a severe knee injury faster than anyone expected. On Saturday, he helped the Orange (3-4) beat the Demon Deacons by assisting on Syracuse's second defensive touchdown of the day. "I'm very excited," Raymon said this week on returning to football. "My team's excited, my coaches are excited and I feel like we're all in a good place and we're all on the same page now. I'm happy I'm back." AJ Long Hopes to End SU Football's Losing Streak Saturday In His First Career Start By Sean Farrell • Oct 17, 2014 @WAERSports The AJ Long era has officially begun. With a pair of injured quarterbacks, Scott Shafer now turns to his third-string passer to try to end a four game losing streak, save Syracuse's season and, possibly, save his own job. Syracuse couldn't upset top-ranked Florida State last week, but Long impressed in his college debut. The true freshman completed 16-of-27 passes for 167 yards against the Seminoles along with two touchdowns and two interceptions. It was a rare bright spot for the Orange, who's lost each of its last four games by at least ten points. No. 1 Florida State Holds Off Syracuse in 38-20 Win By Sean Farrell • Oct 11, 2014 Even as the off-the-field allegations continue to surface, it was just another day at the office for Jameis Winston. The reigning Heisman Trophy winner completed 30-of-36 passes for three touchdowns. His calm and confident play led No. 1 Florida State in a 38-20 win over Syracuse at the Carrier Dome. The defending champion Seminoles (6-0) are halfway to another undefeated season. "To beat the No. 1 team in the country is a very difficult task," Scott Shafer said. "I really believed this week that we could beat this team, but we didn't get that done today." Syracuse Football Going for Historic Upset Over No. 1 Florida State By Sean Farrell • Oct 10, 2014 It hasn't been another season of blowouts for Florida State, but they've done enough to do what many of the highest ranked teams haven't – win. The reigning national champions comes to the Carrier Dome to face a Syracuse team that has lost its last three games. The Seminoles, meanwhile, haven't lost since the 2012 season. "There's a reason why they've won 21 in a row: great coaching and great players," Scott Shafer said. "We have a daunting task in front of us, but we're looking forward to it." Demoted George McDonald "Blindsided" By Recent Staff Changes By Sean Farrell • Oct 8, 2014 George McDonald said he was "blindsided" on Saturday when Scott Shafer told him that he'd been demoted from offensive coordinator to wide receivers coach. "If I would've known I would only get 18 games to be offensive coordinator, I would have stayed at the University of Arkansas," McDonald said. "I would have never came here." Orange Out Failed Miserably, What's Left for This Season at Dome? By Mark Bialczak • Oct 8, 2014 When Syracuse University officials put the word out that game day Friday for the big Atlantic Coast Conference 2014 opener against Louisville was going to be marked by an Orange Out, I had hopes for something pretty cool in this city of ours. SU Football Demotes OC George McDonald; Tim Lester Takes Over Play Calling By Sean Farrell • Oct 6, 2014 @WAERSports Syracuse's offense will have a new quarterback this week, after Terrel Hunt fractured his fibula against Louisville. When Syracuse hosts No. 1 Florida State on Saturday, the offense will have a new coordinator, as well. Terrel Hunt Out 4-6 Weeks with Fractured Fibula By Sean Farrell • Oct 6, 2014 @WAERSports Syracuse quarterback Terrel Hunt will miss the next 4-6 weeks with a fractured fibula, coach Scott Shafer announced on Monday. Hunt needed to be helped off the field after getting hit twice during the fourth quarter of Syracuse's 28-6 loss to Louisville. He initially waved off SU training staff, but struggled to put weight on his left leg. Cardinal Sins: Poor Execution Costs Syracuse in 28-6 Loss to Louisville By Sean Farrell • Oct 4, 2014 Terrel Hunt held his arms up in disbelief. His last-ditch spike attempt at the end of the first half left no time on the clock to run a play from the Louisville 2-yard line. It left the struggling quarterback with a frustrated feeling. And once again, it left the Orange (2-3, 0-1 ACC) without any points in the red zone. "It wasn't good enough," Scott Shafer said on his team's performance. "It wasn't good enough to get it done. So we have to go back to work and try to get it better. It's so simple it's hard to comprehend, but it the God's honest truth." Pages« first ‹ previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 next › last »

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS: Argentina's Rising Oil Fortunes; Privatized Company Gets Knack of Not Losing Money
By CLIFFORD KRAUSS
Published: April 24, 1999
BUENOS AIRES, April 23— For decades after its founding in 1922 as the world's first state-owned oil company outside the Soviet Union, Yacimientos Petroliferos Fiscales was the butt of one of Argentina's most enduring jokes as ''the only oil company in the world that knew how to lose money.''
Executives were chosen for their loyalty to a series of military dictators, even if they did not know the difference between crude and kerosene. It didn't matter: the union made key management decisions anyway. Meanwhile the rest of the Government's agencies, including the railroad and gas distribution company, balanced their books by neglecting to pay their fuel bills.
But Argentina's oil company is no longer a joke. It was privatized between 1990 and 1993 in an overhaul that cut the payroll of YPF, as it is widely known here, from 50,000 to fewer than 10,000 employees. The company sold off marginal fields, got rid of a rickety tanker fleet, and dumped useless movie theaters and money-losing hospitals that had nothing to do with its basic business. It introduced an array of cost controls and employee incentives.
YPF, leaner if not meaner, has since catapulted itself into the second tier of world energy companies by acquiring exploration fields, gas stations and pipelines from Peru to Indonesia to the Texas panhandle.
''We now act like an American company,'' said Roberto Monti, the company's chairman, who spent most of his career at Schlumberger, the global oilfield services giant based in Paris.
YPF is already the largest private oil company in Latin America and the largest private company of any kind in Argentina -- representing better than 20 percent of the total market capitalization of the local Merval stock exchange. It is among the most actively traded Latin American companies on the New York Stock Exchange, with 51 percent of its stock controlled by institutional holders.
Now the company, with its $11 billion in market capitalization, is poised to take advantage of the expected privatization and selloff of the Brazilian Government's energy holdings and the continuing opening of Venezuela's huge oil patch in the next few years. Consequently, Wall Street analysts say, the blue and white YPF logo should cast an ever wider shadow in the years to come. Indeed, a huge billboard over a YPF filling station on Avenida Libertador in Buenos Aires trumpets a new company slogan: ''YPF: Here and Everywhere.''
That is, unless YPF is acquired first, making the trophy seeker a trophy itself. ''YPF could be bought by Repsol today or by Shell tomorrow,'' said a senior Argentine oil executive who spoke on the condition he not be identified.
The Spanish oil company Repsol, another formerly state-owned concern beginning to expand its repertoire on the world stage, became the largest YPF shareholder in January when it bought a 14.99 percent stake in the company from the Argentine Government at a premium price of $2 billion.
Repsol's purchase at $38 a share raised eyebrows in the investment community because no other company would bid anywhere near that level: the price was about $10 a share higher than the market quote at the time. But over the last two months, with Latin American stock markets and the international oil price beginning to recover, YPF's shares have risen to $32.95, up about 18 percent for the year.
If Repsol acquired YPF, the merged company would be the eighth-largest integrated oil company in the world as measured by asset value. But Repsol's takeover prospects appear increasingly unlikely since YPF's bylaws prohibit a stock swap. Raising the necessary cash would not be easy. Moreover, many analysts say the Spanish company underestimated the spirited resistance the YPF board would put up to avoid being caught up in the consolidation trends that have seized the international oil industry. Under pressure from relatively low prices, even such giants as Exxon and Mobil and British Petroleum and Amoco have agreed to merge.
''I have mixed feelings when we talk about consolidation,'' Mr. Monti said in an interview. ''Size can impede speed to react. What we are looking for is YPF to be one of those dynamic companies, one that can make use of opportunities faster than anybody else.''
At age 60, Mr. Monti is a dour man who goes to bed at 10 P.M. so he can get to the office before 8 A.M. He is so precise about scheduling he is known to cancel appointments with people who are five minutes late. All this makes him about as rare as a vegetarian in beef-eating Argentina. Mr. Monti would speak little about the proposed Repsol takeover beyond saying, ''You are better off being the owner of your own destiny.'' Associates say he thinks YPF would be better off with another partner -- a junior one.
Mr. Monti described himself as a collector, one who has assembled a collection of 60,000 stamps from every corner of the world since his childhood. At age 40, he bought a 1929 Chevrolet Phaeton and over the last 20 years he has acquired a slew of vintage cars including a Jaguar, a Mercedes-Benz and a Porsche.

Runners tend to have shapely legs that others envy, and if you aspire to have them too, you'll need to be a little strategic about how you spend your time on the treadmill. The runners with the most toned legs are probably pretty conscious of their overall speed and intensity -- so you'd do well to learn from them.
A Word About Slimming Down
For a lot of people, a big part of toning the body is losing the fat that is surrounding the muscles they already have. To do that, your focus should be less on weights or "toning" exercises and more on exercise that burns maximum calories. That can certainly include walking or jogging on a treadmill.
Calorie Comparison
To lose 1 pound of fat, you have to create a 3,500 calorie deficit either through exercise, diet changes or both. Naturally, the faster you run or walk on the treadmill, the more calories you'll burn. Let's look at the various calories burned for a 185-pound person who uses a treadmill for 30 minutes. If you walked at a moderate 4-mile-per-hour pace, expect to burn roughly 200 calories. Speed up to jogging at a relatively slow 5-mile-per-hour pace and you'll burn about 355 calories. Run at a 6-mile-per-hour pace and you'll burn about 444 calories, while running 7.5 miles per hour should burn about 555 calories. To keep track of your speed, set your treadmill's computer to the "speed" setting, making sure that it's set for miles instead of kilometers. If you're not sure how to do that, check your treadmill's owner's manual.
Incline, Not Speed
Jogging at any of the above-mentioned speeds is going to help you build leg muscle as well as burn calories, but increasing your speed is not your only ally when it comes to toning up. Increasing the treadmill's incline is also important. In a study conducted at the University of Colorado, researchers found that using a treadmill on an incline increased the amount of muscle activation in the butt, thighs and calves, even at incline settings as low as 3 percent. The faster the speed, the more muscle activation.
Cautions With Incline
Increasing the incline is going to help you in your quest to tone up, but since time and intensity are both important for an effective workout, you shouldn't increase the incline so much that it significantly affects the length of your workout. Also avoid holding the hand rails when you're on the treadmill, since holding on is going to decrease the number of calories you'll burn as well as affecting your posture and gait. If you find yourself having to lean back or hold on in order to manage the incline, you've probably set the incline too high, and the length and quality of your workout is likely to be affected.

We studied concerns about cognitive health among ethnically diverse groups of older adults. The study was grounded in theories of health behaviour and the representation of health and illness. We conducted 42 focus groups (N=396, ages 50+) in four languages, with African Americans, American Indians, Chinese Americans, Latinos, Whites other than Latinos (hereafter, Whites) and Vietnamese Americans, in nine United States locations. Participants discussed concerns about keeping their memory or ability to think as they age. Audio recordings were transcribed verbatim. Constant comparison methods identified themes. In findings, all ethnic groups expressed concern and fear about memory loss, losing independence, and becoming 'a burden'. Knowing someone with Alzheimer's disease increased concern. American Indians, Chinese Americans, Latinos and Vietnamese Americans expected memory loss. American Indians, Chinese Americans and Vietnamese Americans were concerned about stigma associated with Alzheimer's disease. Only African Americans, Chinese and Whites expressed concern about genetic risks. Only African Americans and Whites expressed concern about behaviour changes. Although we asked participants for their thoughts about their ability to think as they age, they focused almost exclusively on memory. This suggests that health education promoting cognitive health should focus on memory, but should also educate the public about the importance of maintaining all aspects of cognitive health.

She got their number and promptly called me because I am the one who does all the finances for our family. When I called them back, the person identified himself as "Will" and did not want to give me any information at first. He then told me that the name of the company was not the Department of Education, but Windham Professionals.
When I demanded to know why they called my friend, "Will" told me that my husband had used her name as a reference on his school loan. My husband did not even know my friend or me the only time he ever applied for a school loan so I told him that his information was untrue.
He then tried to get me to verify that we had the correct person by giving out my husband's birthdate and SSN. When I refused on the basis that this is private information covered by the Privacy Act, "Will" got angry and threatened me and my family. He told me basically that since I was not going to cooperate and since I wouldn't put my husband on the phone, this debt will now be made to affect me and my family too.
I informed "Will" that what he was doing was a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and that I am fairly certain that whatever means they used to gain my friend's unlisted, private cell phone number was likely in violation of the Privacy Act, and then hung up.

Bottom line the debt collectors will lie in order to get information.
It would be helpful if you provided info on what type of student loan - was this a Federally backed student loan? Student loans will have different statutue of limitations and Federally backed ones do not go away so ususally you are better off working out a payment plan on those. Non Federally backed student loans and/or other types of debt you'll need to find out what the statute of limitations is for your State for that debt. If past the Statute of limitations you have a defense against the collection of that debt.
Also, you need to find out if Windham purchased the debt or is simply collecting on behalf of another entity. If they are collecting on behalf of another entity you are going to be better off negotiating with that entity if in fact you need to pay the debt. If Windham purchased it outright, you'll need to deal with them directly.
If I were you I would not pay anything or admit to anything until you find out (1) who is the legal owner of the debt Windham or someone else, (2) how old is the debt, (3) is it a Federally backed loan/debt (4) is the debt valid, (5) what is the statute of limitations for that type of debt for your state. Once you have this you can make an informed decision on whether you need to negotiate a payment plan or tell them to go jump in a lake. Going forward I would record all calls - check if your state is a dual consent state on recording - if so simply tell them you will be recording the call. Better yet, I would request they do everything in writing - better proof/protection for you.
Good luck.

Our defense is going to be BETTER. Wait and see. The Niners avoided serious injury because we have a superior training staff. Had nothing to do with luck. The offense is going to improve some and that will makes things easier on the D. Plus another season in the same scheme, and rookies who showed some serious promise last season growing up?
I can't wait!
