According to the National Hurricane Center, the area of low pressure off the Florida coast has a high chance of forming into a tropical cyclone over the next five days. This is a good reminder to prepare your family and strengthen your home. These tips will help protect your home and family, and reduce stress before a storm hits.
Create a Family Emergency Plan: Plans should include copies of important documents including insurance policies, the deed to your home or rental agreement, evacuation information, a shelter-in-place plan, important phone numbers and a home inventory.
Build a Storm Kit: Kits should include items you will need for at least 72 hours after a storm. Always include water, nonperishable food, batteries, flashlights, a battery-powered NOAA weather radio, prescription medications and supplies for children, the elderly or pets.
Build a Home Insurance Inventory
A home insurance inventory complete with descriptions and photographs of your property will be an invaluable resource should you need to file an insurance claim. Use the Know Your Stuff resource available through the Insurance Information Institute (III) to help with this activity.
Hurricane Proof Your Landscaping
Take a day to make your landscaping more hurricane-resilient. Activities include replacing landscaping rocks with mulch or trimming back tree limbs that hang over your roof.
Clean Your Gutters
Your gutters will direct rainfall away from your home and prevent flooding, but only if they are clear and in good condition. Take the day to clear out leaves or any other debris. Make sure you don't have any rusted spots, holes or openings as well.
Strengthen Your Soffits
Properly installed soffits should keep water out of your home. Take the day to make sure yours have suitable caulking and screws.
Enhance Your Roof Sheathing Attachment
Proper application of the right caulk can increase the wind uplift resistance of your roof sheathing by as much as three times. This one day activity should be started in the morning, as attics can become quite warm in the afternoon.
Secure or relocate items outside the house that can blow around. Don't forget about trash cans, grills, toys and potted plants. Also, take time to look for any dead tree limbs and remove them carefully if you have time and use the Outdoor Inventory Checklist.
Know if you are in a hurricane evacuation zone and have a plan. Hurricane evacuation boundaries are based on the threat of water, not wind, and nearly all evacuation orders are issued due to threat of inland flooding and storm surge. Before you leave be sure to: Turn off the water, gas and electricity Leave a note that you have left and where you are going Be sure to lock your home
Review your family emergency plan. Be sure to review and update any evacuation plans.
Ensure your family emergency kit is complete. Your kit should include at a minimum: Enough food and water for all members of the family, including pets, for 72 hours Extra cash on hand A battery powered NOAA weather radio or download the FLASH Weather Alerts App First aid kit and toiletries Flashlights and extra batteries Blankets, pillows, extra clothes and toys and games to keep the family comfortable and occupied Special items for babies, family members with special medical needs and pets
Fill your gas tank; gas stations rely on electricity to power their pumps.
Gather and store important paperwork like insurance papers, mortgage documents, marriage certificates, etc. in waterproof containers, scan copies on a USB drive or take pictures with a smartphone.

Suicide is not something many people want to talk about, but talking about it can be the first step in preventing it.
If you have suicidal thoughts or fear someone you know is thinking about taking their life, pick up the phone.
"People who answer the hotline phones are crisis interventionists and they have many years of experience," said Amy Groh, with SAM Crisis Intervention Services in Reading.
In every county across Pennsylvania, there is someone who cares.
"Some people will identify why they are calling right away. Some people don't really know how to start and they just start talking," said Lisa Cozzi, Lehigh County crisis counselor.
County and national suicide hotlines are open 24 hours a day, and everything you say is confidential.
"We provide alternatives where we are able to say, 'You are not alone. There are support groups out there. There is treatment out there," said Ed Michalik, Berks County mental health administrator.
In Berks, Lehigh and Northampton counties, suicide prevention and survival resources extend beyond a voice on the phone.
"We have mobile crisis counseling where we can actually go out into the community and meet with people and talk about their issues and try to develop some sort of a plan for treatment," said Gary Ruschman, Northampton County crisis information and referral director.
County crisis offices can also provide walk-in counseling and support, but making the call to a crisis hotline can be a powerful first step.
On the other end of the line, you will find people like Cozzi.
"My grandfather attempted suicide," said Cozzi. "He didn't succeed, and he went on to live on for many years after that. I was 14 when that happened."
Cozzi has worked the Lehigh County crisis hotline since 1998. She said she loves her job because she understands what callers are going through.
"Sometimes we just provide support because some people just need to talk and they don't have anyone to talk to," said Cozzi.
Crisis counselors are standing by 24 hours a day in Berks, Lehigh and Northampton counties.
All you have to do is dial the number. In Berks County, it's 610-236-0530; Lehigh County is 610-782-3127; and Northampton County is 610-252-9060.
The national number is 1-800-273-8255.

Berkeley Countys natural systems will be studied by federal and state forestry officials as part of a South Carolina pilot program designed to help counties outline future development standards.
The county issued a press release June 17 announcing the states Green Infrastructure Guide will begin there. The guide is through the U.S. Forestry Service and the S.C. Forestry Commission.
The guide, which explains how to conduct a green infrastructure assessment, will feature Berkeley County as a case study. The project is expected to last several months and will be conducted by the Green Infrastructure Center (GIC) in conjunction with Berkeley Countys Planning & Development Department.
The team will locate and map all of the countys green infrastructure, including interconnected natural systems such as intact forests, woodlands, wetlands, dune systems, parks and rivers and agricultural soils that provide clean water, air quality, wildlife habitat and food.
Officials will then determine how to conserve and/or restore these resources. Berkeley County planning officials will use the results to assist with outlining future development standards in the countys overall comprehensive plan.
We can think of our natural resources trees, streams, lakes, wetlands, soils as infrastructure because they provide things we need such as shade, good air quality, drinking water, food and recreation, Center Executive Director Karen Firehock said. We need to know where our best forests, wetlands or farms are located in order to better protect them. The GIC will build a computer model to analyze Berkeley Countys green infrastructure. This will be a pilot test for South Carolina. Results will inform the new state planning guide for green infrastructure planning.
Berkeley County is considered the 35th fastest growing county in the nation. The countys population increased by 9.1 percent from 2010 to 2013, compared to the states increase of 3.2 percent, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
Maintaining the delicate balance of infrastructure expansion with the sustainability of natural resources has always been on the forefront of our minds, Berkeley County Supervisor Dan Davis said. We are very excited about participating in this study because it will further help us preserve Berkeley Countys beauty and resources as new industries come in and the population of the county continues to grow.

The expectations are ultra-high in Pittsburgh. Mario Lemieux demands them that way. In one lobby of the palatial Consol Energy Center is a life-size virtual Stanley Cup, a touchscreen that allows you to "spin" the trophy to learn about its history and play video highlights of the Penguins' three championship teams.
Adding to that legacy is what's expected. I'm still surprised I'm not watching the Pens trying to add to it in this Stanley Cup final. They were the best team in the Eastern Conference by nine points during the regular season, going 36-12. The Boston Bruins, remember, lost three times to the Sabres and didn't even win the Northeast Division.
But when the Pens and Bruins met in the East final, it was no contest. It was a four-game sweep with Pittsburgh incredibly held to just two goals. Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin were blanked. It was a performance that was hard to fathom.
This wasn't the blanking of, say, Tim Connolly and Derek Roy. This was Crosby and Malkin.
The Penguins went to back-to-back Cup finals in 2008 and 2009, losing to Detroit in the first one and holding on for a Game Seven win over the Wings in the latter. Since then, they've only won three playoff series in the last four years and two of those came this year. They were first-round losers to Tampa Bay in 2011 and Philadelphia last spring.
So after another great season and another playoff flop, there was plenty of discussion about whether coach Dan Bylsma was the right man for the job anymore. Forget about the fact he graduated from the AHL to the Stanley Cup in a four-month span just four years ago, or that he had the second-best team in the league this year. Bylsma is just 20-21 in playoff games since winning the Cup. Not nearly good enough with all this talent.
(Taking a good look within is called having standards. Keeping a coach year after year who did nothing in the playoffs – if he even got there at all – is having lax standards.)
The loss to Boston was not Bylsma's finest moment. He couldn't solve the riddle of why his power play was terrible and waited too long to shuffle his lines. Just like last year's series against Philadelphia, the Penguins got off their game and got involved in too much post-whistle testiness. Bylsma didn't do enough to corral his players' emotions and get them pointed in the right direction.
The players didn't produce and the coach bears some responsibility for that, although he can't do much about the sieve-like performance in goal from Marc-Andre Fleury. So for a couple of days, Bylsma was more than a little uncertain about his status. He admitted his young son even asked if he was going to be the coach anymore.
Then the Pens made their decision. They're moving forward.
It started Wednesday with the announcement that Bylsma was getting a two-year contract extension. It continued Thursday with the announcement that Malkin has signed an eight-year, $76 million extension. He will have a $9.5 million cap hit – or $800,000 more than Crosby – through 2022.
This clearly was an issue where the players and General Manager Ray Shero are endorsing Bylsma, so they quickly moved on Malkin. That's how it works. Look no further than New York, where goaltender Henrik Lundqvist gave a lukewarm endorsement of an extension and coach John Tortorella was quickly jettisoned. No coincidence.
"I like Dan," Malkin said Thursday. "It's my mistake that I scored zero goals."
Crosby and Malkin will take up more than a quarter of the Penguins' cap space, meaning it will be very difficult to re-sign Norris Trophy finalist Kris Letang to a new deal. Like Letang, Chris Kunitz, Brooks Orpik and Matt Niskanen are also up after next year. Suffice to say, the Pens are assuming the cap is going to go up quite a bit after its planned dip for the 2013-14 season.
And the Penguins are one of the most fascinating teams to watch in the coming weeks when you look at a list of unrestricted free agents that includes Matt Cooke, Pascual Dupuis, Brendan Morrow, Jarome Iginla and Douglas Murray.
It seems that goaltending coach Gilles Meloche was sacrificed, with the Penguins needing to find a way to get Fleury, the former No. 1 overall pick, back to the form he had in '09.
The play of Fleury might be a bigger reason for the Pens' struggles than the offensive meltdown against Boston. When you have no faith in your goaltending, be it Fleury or Tomas Vokoun, it's hard to press forward. With Fleury struggling, the Pens barely got by the New York Islanders in the first round. Another 1-8 upset would have almost certainly meant curtains for Bylsma.
He survived that round, and the second round against Ottawa. But the Pens didn't have what it took against Boston to still be on the ice in Chicago this week.
"Coming up short is no question disappointing," Bylsma said. "No question you're going to look at this as a missed opportunity."
See how Shero retools this offseason. The Penguins think they should be in the Cup hunt every year. The talent dictates that. It's up to Bylsma to bring it out.

Study: Whey Protein Leads to Lower Body Weight, Body Fat Compared to Carbohydrates
July 2011 DAIRY CHECKOFF UPDATE
A periodic report for dairy media demonstrating how Dairy Management Inc.™ (DMI) and affiliated state and regional promotion organizations work to increase demand for and sales of U.S.-produced dairy products and ingredients through the programs of the American Dairy Association®, National Dairy Council® and U.S. Dairy Export Council®.
Study: Whey Protein Leads to Lower Body Weight, Body Fat Compared to Carbohydrates
New research demonstrates that whey protein can help improve body weight and composition when compared to consuming an equal amount of calories from carbohydrates.
The study, which appears in the August issue of Journal of Nutrition, recorded data from overweight and obese adults who consumed whey or soy protein, plus carbohydrate beverages or a carbohydrate beverage alone twice a day for nearly six months.
The whey protein group's body weight was approximately 4 pounds lower than the carbohydrate group. Additionally, the whey protein group's waist size was nearly an inch smaller than the carbohydrate and soy protein groups.
"This study adds to the growing body of research that shows the benefits of higher protein diets, and whey protein in particular, on weight management and body composition," said Gregory Miller, Ph.D., president of the Dairy Research Institute™.
This study was funded by the U.S. Whey Protein Research Consortium, of which the Dairy Research Institute is a managing member, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service. The Dairy Research Institute is funded by America's dairy producers through the dairy checkoff program, along with other sponsors.
Dairy Consumption
The results of two studies demonstrate that adequate dairy consumption as a part of a nutrient-rich, balanced diet may help maintain metabolic health and reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.
Metabolic syndrome is characterized by at least three metabolic conditions including central obesity, high blood pressure, and impaired glucose or lipid metabolism.
One-third of American adults meet the criteria for metabolic syndrome, which increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.
Results of a study administered by the Dairy Research Institute™ and published in the June issue of American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, funded in part by the dairy checkoff, show that adequate dairy intake – compared with low intake – results in improved blood pressure and insulin resistance, plus decreased fat mass and waist circumference, among other benefits.
In another example, Chinese researchers reviewed seven studies that examined the association between dairy consumption and type 2 diabetes. The results show that higher dairy intake was associated with lower risk of type 2 diabetes. This study was published in the May issue of European Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
"These studies reinforce that dairy consumption is part of the solution that can help reduce disease risk factors and lead people to a healthier life," said Paul Rovey, Arizona dairy producer and chair of Dairy Management Inc.™, which manages the national dairy checkoff.

WBB Adds Three Assistant Coaches; Retains Spencer
MUNCIE, Ind. - Ball State head women's basketball coach Brady Sallee has announced the hiring of three new assistant coaches to his staff; Ashleen Bracey, Rachel Galligan and Ryan Patterson. He will also retain Audrey Spencer as the director of operations for the 2012-13 season.
"I am very excited to put this staff together," commented Sallee. "I believe they will provide our players with everything they could ask for both on and off the court. I sought out in search of a staff that would cover all of our bases. First on my list was loyalty. Ashleen, Rachel, Ryan and Audrey are excited to be here and be a part of the Ball State community. All of their personalities fit well together and there already seems to be a real chemistry in our office."
Bracey comes to Ball State after spending the 2011-12 season as the graduate assistant at the University of Missouri, and was also an assistant coach for Eureka College in 2011. A four-year letterwinner at Illinois State (2007-10) she helped the Redbirds to three 20-win seasons and three Missouri Valley Conference championships which included an NCAA berth in 2008 and two final four appearances in the post season WNIT in 2009 and 2010. After her playing time at Illinois State, Bracey played professional basketball in Athens, Greece in the fall of 2010.
Galligan has spent the last two seasons as the assistant coach at her alma mater Eastern Illinois University, where she was a student-athlete from 2005-09 under the tutelage of Sallee. She was a highly decorated player for the Panthers, finishing her career as the all-time leading scorer (1,891 points), all-time single season scoring leader (582 pts.) and all-time shot blocker (185). She was a top 10 finalist for the Lowe's Senior Class Award, Women's Basketball Coaches Association Region Four All-American, Three-Time Ohio Valley All-Conference recipient, Ohio Valley Conference Freshman of the Year and a two-time OVC All-Tournament Team honoree. Galligan also participated on the EIU's track and field team, winning the 2007 OVC championship in the javelin. After graduation, Galligan spent a season playing professional basketball in Huelva, Spain in the fall of 2009.
Patterson, a familiar face to the Mid-American Conference, comes to Ball State after spending the 2011-12 season at Kent State University as an assistant coach.

It's should come as no surprise that Apple's latest earnings
announcement once again exceeded all expectations. Apple has been on a roll quarter
after quarter,
and its Q2 earnings were no exception.
The company today announced record fiscal
Q2 revenue of $24.67 billion USD and a net profit of $5.99 billion USD.
Those numbers are far ahead of Q2 2010 when Apple reported revenue of $13.5
billion USD and net profit of $3.07 billion USD.
Apple witnessed a 28 percent year-over-year growth in Mac
sales to 3.76 million units while iPhone sales grew 113 percent to 18.65
million units during the quarter. Apple's newest booming business sector, the
iPad, had sales of 4.69 million units.
If there was a lone cloud in Apple's sunny report, it was
the fact that iPod sales were down 17 percent to 9.02 million units compared to
last year.
"With quarterly revenue growth of 83 percent and profit
growth of 95 percent, we're firing on all cylinders," said Apple CEO Steve
Jobs. "We will continue to innovate on all fronts throughout the remainder of
the year."
Apple's iPhone numbers were no doubt helped by the addition
of Verizon as the second carrier in the United States, and Apple's new iPad
2 was launched during the fiscal second quarter.
Apple is rumored to be readying
a revamp of its popular iMac family and the next generation iPhone is set to
its debut in September.

quote: Some would argue that in that sense, Apple products are actually cost effective because they hold their value far more than competing products which are worth virtually nothing once the product line is refreshed the next year (if its that long) For example, the resale value of my iPhone 4, which I purchased on launch almost a year ago is still roughly £480. The Samsung Galaxy S by comparison is now worth as low as £180, so has depreciated more. Obviously this will change once the iPhone 4 is not the latest and greatest model, but you get the point.

You might be able to bend the laws of physics, but you can't fight the laws of attraction, and The Big Bang Theory's Kaley Cuoco is eager to make things official with her fiancé, Ryan Sweeting.
"We've been planning, so hopefully early next year," the actress told PEOPLE about a possible wedding date while recently attending her friend Haylie Duff's The Real Girl's Kitchen cookbook signing in Los Angeles.
"We don't have an exact date, but I want to marry him tomorrow so I want to go as fast as possible."
The actress, 27, added that no matter when the nuptials happen, there will be considerable planning involved on her part.
"He doesn't care, and that's what he keeps telling me," she said with a laugh of Sweeting's wedding-planning input. "He knows that I've been planning this in my brain for 25 years, so he's not daring to get in there. He's like, 'Whatever you want!' "
Sweeting, 26, a professional tennis player, may not be picking out place settings, but he's had one unexpected effect on his fiancée.
"[I'm] such a homemaker!" she says with a laugh. "I don't know what happened. I got engaged and I'm in the kitchen every night making meals. I love it!"

Policing for Profit: The Abuse of Civil Asset Forfeiture

|Inquire here to receive the print version of Policing for Profit
Civil forfeiture laws represent one of the most serious assaults on private property rights in the nation today. Under civil forfeiture, police and prosecutors can seize your car or other property, sell it and use the proceeds to fund agency budgets—all without so much as charging you with a crime. Unlike criminal forfeiture, where property is taken after its owner has been found guilty in a court of law, with civil forfeiture, owners need not be charged with or convicted of a crime to lose homes, cars, cash or other property.
Americans are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty, but civil forfeiture turns that principle on its head. With civil forfeiture, your property is guilty until you prove it innocent.
Policing for Profit: The Abuse of Civil Asset Forfeiture chronicles how state and federal laws leave innocent property owners vulnerable to forfeiture abuse and encourage law enforcement to take property to boost their budgets. The report finds that by giving law enforcement a direct financial stake in forfeiture efforts, most state and federal laws encourage policing for profit, not justice.
Policing for Profit also grades the states on how well they protect property owners—only three states receive a B or better. And in most states, public accountability is limited as there is little oversight or reporting about how police and prosecutors use civil forfeiture or spend the proceeds.
Federal laws encourage even more civil forfeiture abuse through a loophole called "equitable sharing" that allows law enforcement to circumvent even the limited protections of state laws. With equitable sharing, law enforcement agencies can and do profit from forfeitures they wouldn't be able to under state law.
It's time to end civil forfeiture. People shouldn't lose their property without being convicted of a crime, and law enforcement shouldn't be able to profit from other people's property.

Although many associate plastic surgery only with cosmetic changes to oneself, these intricate surgeries are also used to repair tendons, correct nerve damage and remove cancer.
In the U.S, more than 400,000 people get their knees replaced each year, and nearly two-thirds are women. If you're still experiencing knee pain even after you've made lifestyle changes and taken medications, knee replacement surgery may be your best option.

The Stetson men's soccer team will head back on the road this weekend to continue Atlantic Sun Conference play at USC Upstate and ETSU on Friday and Sunday, respectively.
The Hatters (1-7-2, 0-2-0) opened A-Sun play this past weekend, falling to Northern Kentucky and Lipscomb at home. Stetson gave up goals late in the second half of both games, which led to the pair of losses.
USC Upstate (0-6-1, 0-1-0) welcomes Stetson to Spartanburg for a 7:00 p.m. contest on Friday night. The Spartans have yet to earn a victory in 2013 with their only point coming in a 1-1 tie at Appalachian State. USC Upstate lost its first A-Sun match by a score of 3-1 at Mercer.
ETSU (4-3-3, 2-0-0), meanwhile, opened up A-Sun play with wins at North Florida and Mercer. The Bucs topped the Ospreys 1-0 and defeated the Bears 2-0 as goalkeeper Ryan Coulter recorded his sixth and seventh shutouts of the season en route to a conference defensive player of the week honor.
Friday's match in Spartanburg can be followed with Live Stats at UpstateSpartans.com. Sunday's contest will be featured on ASun.TV and will have Live Stats available at ETSUBucs.com. Fans can follow @StetsonMSoccer on Twitter for in-game updates during the weekend.
• Stetson holds a 4-1-1 advantage over USC Upstate in the all-time series between the two teams, which dates back to a 1-0 Hatter win in 2007.
• Last season the Spartans picked up their first victory over Stetson with a 3-0 win in DeLand.
• ETSU holds a slight 4-3-1 advantage over Stetson in the all-time series between the two teams, which dates back to a 4-1 Hatter victory in 2008.
• Last season ETSU defeated Stetson by a score of 1-0 in DeLand.
• Senior Chase Rodgers became the first Hatter to score multiple goals in 2013 this past weekend. The defender scored against NKU to notch his second of the year.
• Six other Hatters have scored goals in 2013; Evan Jimmo, Gianluca Carbone, JJ Bostic, Dwight Lodge, Justin Shirah, and Raffaele Centofanti.
• Rodgers and Centofanti lead Stetson in scoring this season with four points each. The latter has one goal and two assists on the year.
• Senior Andreas Schnabl's shutout against UMass Lowell was the 13th of his career, which is a school record.
• Schnabl also currently tops the Stetson record books with a career goals-against-average of 1.29.
• Schnabl's eight saves against Grand Canyon tied a career best (Also 8 at FIU on 9/9/11). It tied for the most since Logan Potter's 13 vs. Lipscomb on 10/9/09.

Can mean small fish in Japanese, but also used to describe a person who can't seem to do anything right. If speaking from a company hierarchy point of view, zako's would be placed at the bottom of the list. If such an extreme example of "zako" is encountered, they would usually be the ones cleaning toilets. See: Worthless.
Man, that grilled zako tasted like ass. I think it was because it was some zako making it while he was cleaning the company's toilet room.

Incredibly lazy, overweight person with a desire to eat foodstuffs of any kind (although commonly fatty) around the clock - and often does. A Jabba is also known to use a number of phrases associated with the trait, such as "Jabba so full of fat" or "NORTY JABBANA"

Can you define these popular missing words?
A "Jabba" is in reference to "Jabba The Hut" from star wars. This fat, slobbish persn has little respect for their personal appearance and lacks the motivation to put out the minimal effort it takes to roll off of the couch. A slobish, obese brute. Can be found sleeping on the couch watching daytime tv with half eaten sandwiches on his gut. Sometime Jabbas are prone to smell of feces and filth from either defecating themselves or continuos farting.
When an unfamiliar friend stops by your house and ghasps, " What the fuck is that thing on the couch?" You can reply, "Oh that's just Jabba, he doesn't do much of anything, sorry about the smell though."

Teams start Randy Foye at PG if they want to tank for a top 3 pick
Teams start Randy Foye at PG if they want to tank for a top 3 pick
I get Favors as a defensive sub late in the game, but lets not forget he was flat awful tonight. Kanter played a tiny bit better, but both their performances were drastically colored by the game within game second unit showdown which we clearly won.
If it matters, I think Foye could be a better option than both those guys in a different offensive system. Since we don't actually have a system, we desperately need anybody who can make a play handling the ball. Foye will never be that guy.

anti-cakk bakking... from the outset. #cakks&pies
Oh and I think even before the season started most people agreed that the opposing teams starters would be better on most nights then the Jazz, no matter who is starting it was the that the bench wouldn't have as much of a drop off as other teams again no matter who was coming off the bench. Because the Jazz don't have any one dominant player let alone 2 or 3 like the elite teams have they have to rely on non stop depth and hustle and trusting the offense.
I don't think Corbin is calling for stagnated offense like has become common especially lately but it is on him at least partially if the players aren't executing or learning/understanding what he is trying to do even when Horny or other assistant coaches are being interviewed they specifically mention over and over that they aren't cutting or moving like they should on offense. I would also like to see some better assistant coaches or one single veteran assistant brought in like the Nets have PJ and Mavs for example have them. Phil Johnson would be perfect but don't see that working and Gordy would've been good except he's now in ORL with Vaughn.
Mark Cuban is a ****ing sociopath.
I'm there.
I'm at the point where I hope we pull a Lakers and start losing game after game until the front office is forced to do something about the train wreck that is our team.
There are some exceptions, but imo the repetition of those scenarios is what kills us.
Chop it!!!
The hard part is I'm a spurned fan that's totally excited about the 6-12 of our lineup if we ever commit. Would go from POd to euphoric

Congress Back for Lame-Duck Session
Congress returned from the Thanksgiving holiday to deal with last minute legislative issues that must be finalized before the lame-duck session ends on December 17th. Issues Congress must finish before adjourning the 111th Congress include finalizing funding for the federal government and the expiring tax cuts. So far the only issue that has been finalized is the Medicare physician fee fix which the President is expected to sign in the next few days.
Congress Puts Together Another CR
Congress will pass another short term Continuing Resolution (CR) this week. The CR will last until December 17th and would maintain funding for federal programs at fiscal year 2010 levels. The current CR ends on December 3rd.
The House is focused on writing a long-term CR to fund the government through next year, while the Senate is currently working on an FY 2011 Omnibus Appropriations bill that would lump together all of the unfinished FY 2011 Appropriations bills into one large bill. Congress has not passed any of the 12 appropriations bills for FY 2011, which began October 1st.
Efforts to pass a long-term CR or an Omnibus Appropriations bill are opposed by Republicans in both the House and Senate as many Republicans are pushing a short-term continuing resolution, which would allow them to pursue their own fiscal priorities — and spending cuts — early next year. Republican House leaders have vowed to roll back spending to fiscal 2008 levels when the GOP takes control next year.
For more information about the legislation listed above or any other IMF advocacy initiative, contact IMF's Director of Government Relations, Christine Murphy at email@example.com or 703-738-1498.

@JSportsnet: East Final will start Saturday. West Final will start Friday if Detroit wins..Saturday if Chicago wins.
Why does Chicago get an extra day if they win, yet we would have to turn around and play Fri?
Yeah someone else said it but Rolling Stones are in town and actually if Hawks win, it hurts them a bit cause they have to play Saturday and Sunday, back to back, and Stones last and third show is on Monday night.
My prediction is an octopus is thrown on the ice and for the first time it is a penalty but not for the home team even though its their home ice, they will go above and beyond the rule book and assess the the penalty to the Wings because its "their" tradition.
I also predict Hawks are given 3 penalty shots.

NEW WASHINGTON - It may have been an omen of good things to come for Buckeye Central.
The Bucks shut down Upper Sandusky in the second half of the JV contest.
Well, not just shut down but shut out.

So the Bucks could take heart at halftime of the varsity game, despite being down 22-15.
While Buckeye Central didn't pitch a second shutout, it was nearly as stingy, holding the Rams to 12 second-half points in a 45-34 victory Friday night.
"I'm just so proud of the kids and the way they played," Buckeye Central coach Phil Loy said. "Defensively we just did an awesome job. We got off to a little bit of a sluggish start. I don't know if it was our focus or our communication but we missed some layups and we gave them some layups. ... I'm just proud of the way they played."

Rebounds: Upper Sandusky 25 (Young 6, Frey 5); Buckeye Central 29 (Kaple 9, A. Wurm 9).
Turnovers: Upper Sandusky 14; Buckeye Central 16.
The win keeps the Bucks a half game back of Colonel Crawford in the North Central Conference Silver Division with a trip to Lucas for the Bucks tonight.
"I told our guys that 'Yeah we should win' but we have to go over there and make sure it's not a sloppy game and we continue to get better," Loy said. "We both have tough games next week so it should be interesting how it all plays out."
That will leave a game each for the Eagles and Bucks. The Eagles travel to Upper Sandusky next Friday night while Buckeye Central will host Wynford.
By that point, Upper Sandusky coach Shane Adams is hoping his team has figured some things out.
"It's that whole fighting through thing, putting a smile on your face and enjoying the journey. We have to enjoy the journey and enjoy being with one another and enjoy our team. And right now we have a lot of work to do there," he said. "I guess we don't, though, because we have a week left and the new season starts. So if we don't get it figured out quickly, we'll be in trouble. It comes down to them and me. I've got to do a better job of leading."
Figuring things out would include better second-half shooting and better ball handling. Friday night the Rams went 3 of 20 from the field in the final 16 minutes and had nine turnovers.
"It was a little bit of both [good defense and lack of execution]. They were just tougher than us tonight at home," Adams said. "We've talked about toughness all year long and we didn't execute. We didn't play as a team. They deserved to win. They're playing with more chemistry and toughness than we are right now. They're doing a good great job."
While Upper Sandusky executed better offensively in the first half, it could have taken a much bigger margin into the break had it not been for six straight misses from the stripe in the final two and a half minutes of the quarter.
"Once again, it comes down to toughness. We do it every day in practice," Adams said. "At some point, we all know it, it comes down to making your free throws, making layups and getting stops. We didn't do those three tonight. That's kind of a whole resemblance to that whole mental toughness attitude. You step to the line, you put a smile on your face and you hit the free throw. It's what you've been doing since fourth grade."
Loy said the Rams' deliberate style makes a seven-point margin seem daunting, let alone had it been 13 had Upper sank those free throws.
"We were down 20-7 (in the first half) and for us to get it back to 22-15 at half is huge but I told those guys that in a game like this, where (Upper Sandusky) can be very deliberate with the lead and want to control that tempo, that seven points can seem like 15 or 16 points so we have to take pride in every possession and make sure we execute and slowly get back into this thing. But we did that quicker than I thought we would."
The Bucks (13-7, 9-2 NCC) tied the game less than three minutes into the second half as Cade Kaple, Bryce Christy and Austin Wurm scored on four of the Bucks' first five possessions in the third quarter to knot the game at 24.
Wurm and Kaple scored 11 of BC's 16 third quarter points.
"Those two are just key to our success," Loy said. "Unfortunately, Austin has been sick this week and he looked a little sluggish, especially in the first half. But those two are our go-to guys. Those guys make things happen and that's what happened in the second half."
Kaple finished with a game-high 12 points and Austin Wurm added 11. Alan Niese tossed in nine points but was largely responsible for holding Upper Sandusky's leading scorer, Joe Reile, to nine points in the game.
"Reile scares me. (Trent) Howard scares me. So to hold them to nine and six (points) is incredible," Loy said. "Hats off to Alan Niese, who sat out a couple practices with an injury this week, to come in and guard Reile. That's a tough task. Reile is one of the better point guards in our league and to hold him to nine and keep him out of the paint is remarkable."

Makadi Bay Travel Guide
Makadi Bay © Dirgela
A relatively new purpose-built holiday beach resort, Makadi Bay is situated just 19 miles (30km) south of Hurghada along the Red Sea Riviera. This up-and-coming resort is centred on a shopping and restaurant area, which is linked to a chain of hotels strung along the beach.
Ideally suited to young families on holiday, Makadi Bay is known for its beaches, clear water, coral reefs and quality hotels that provide a perfect location for relaxation and comfort. The bay offers superb snorkelling and diving opportunities, and most hotels offer a variety of other watersports, as well as facilities to keep the whole family entertained, like golf, volleyball and tennis, luxurious spas and a host of amenities for children.
Excursions into the surrounding area are an ideal way to explore the historical sites and natural beauty nearby, while the city of Hurghada caters to those looking for a more exciting nightlife and a chance to experience a 'real' Egyptian town.
Due to the current unrest in the Sinai region, excursions out into the desert may not be advisable.

TAHOE CITY, Calif. - On Sunday Oct. 21, 20 local artists volunteered their time and donated valuable pieces of their own art work all in an effort to raise money for the nonprofit North Tahoe Arts (NTA) located in Tahoe City. Attendees gathered at the Lodge at Lahontan Golf Course for "A Fine Evening with Fine Art." The event raised more than $5,000.
"Thanks to our local artists who donated a piece of art with a minimum value of $400 and who continue year after year to support North Tahoe Arts, this first of its kind fundraising event for NTA was a huge success," said Kellie Cutler, executive director, North Tahoe Arts. "Everyone involved had a great time and felt good about supporting the arts in our community."
North Tahoe Arts has been a prominent promoter and supporter of arts in the North Lake Tahoe communities for more than 24 years. "A Fine Evening with Fine Art" was a new fundraising concept. All proceeds will support various art programs such as ARTour in July, summer Kids Art Camps and numerous NTA gallery art openings. The North Tahoe Arts' ARTisan Shop is filled with works of art from regional artists, both nationally-recognized and emerging, with a wide variety of mediums represented. The ARTisan Shop winter hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., closed on Tuesdays. To see which artists are currently featured, visit http://www.northtahoearts.com/artisan_shop.html.
Tickets were $300 per couple, and each couple left with a piece of artwork with a minimum value of $400. Guests spent time talking with the local selected artists and learning about his/her background while enjoying live music, appetizers and wine. Featured local artists included watercolor paintings, sculptures; photography, wood and more.
A huge thank you goes to the artists who so generously gave: Susie Alexander, Jenny Antonucci, Tom Beebe, Madeline Bohannan's son George Eisert, Carol David, Jessica Hall, Jane Jenny, Pamela Hunt Lee, Cathy McClellend, Geoff McGilvray, Jacob Morrison, Victoria Murphy, Ann Nichols, Eva Nichols, Heidi Reeves, Toni Rockwell, Andy Skaff, Jay Thelin, Loreen Thomas, and Greg Zirbel.
"When I learned that I had a chance to meet the artist whose work I was taking home, I was sold on attending the event," said Karen Wirth. "My husband and I paid $300 to support local art programs, took home a piece of fine art, mingled and had fun. What a wonderful idea for a fundraiser."
Holly Arts opening reception
Are you looking for something special, a one-of-a-kind gift? Then look no further than Holly Arts at North Tahoe Arts Center. Visit the Artisan Shop and two galleries filled with fine art and handcrafted work with a winter theme.

Two more people were defrauded by someone who put a skimmer on an ATM outside a Publix Supermarket in New Smyrna Beach.
Surveillance video shows the thief putting the device on the ATM Nov. 10 and then removing it eight hours later.
So far, a total of six people said their information was stolen and used to steal cash from their accounts in South Florida.
Officials said they think more victims may come forward as victims get information from their banks.
Two other skimmers were found in Port Orange and Ormond Beach before the thief could remove them. Another device was found at a Publix in Lake Mary.
Authorities think the thieves are part of a ring hitting local ATMs.

There's a Wine for Every Margherita
In ancient times, the Mediterranean basin looked to Campania, southern Italy's glorious coastal region that fans out from the Bay of Naples along the Tyrrhenian Sea, for its viticultural prowess. Wines such as Falernian, a white variety that was produced on the slopes of Monte Massico in northern Campania, were popular throughout the Roman period, when it was the wine of choice for many emperors.
Today, the region is once more attracting attention for the variety and unique flavors it manages to draw from its native grape varieties. Classic white grapes such as Fiano and Greco Bianco, which at their height can produce wines packed full of character, with delicate floral aromas of dried apricot, honey and spice, have again earned their place on restaurant wine lists and in collectors' cellars.
The quality of red wines—spearheaded by Taurasi, which has earned the epithet of the "Barolo of the South," and wines like Mastroberardino's Radici Riserva, which many argue has no rival in Italy—have completed the renaissance.
Meanwhile the bays, coves and inlets of the Amalfi Coast ensure that the region never fails to enjoy a stream of international visitors. Most jet into Campania's capital, Naples, before heading to the sea and the abundant sunshine of its islands. For the oenophile wanting a viticulturally inspired challenge, Naples throws up an interesting tussle, as its greatest culinary gift to the world, the pizza, is one of the hardest food and wine pairings to get right.
Of course, the best way to enjoy pizza is at a little local pizzeria overlooking the Bay of Naples, washed down with whatever the restaurant serves, in all likelihood a local Aglianico, a dark-red wine with high acidity and high tannins. But for those of us who don't find ourselves on Italy's southern shores, selecting a wine to match with pizza can prove tricky. The main problem is the key ingredient, tomato, which requires a robust wine that can stand up to its acidity. As a rule of thumb, I prefer a juicy red wine, something like a Barbera from Piemonte, whose low tannins, high acidity and power cut through the pizza. A Garnacha from Spain's Priorat would also be on my list, as would a young Rioja.
I'm told many Italians actually prefer to pair pizza with bottled lager, and varieties such as quattro formaggi have been known to match very well with sparkling wine such as Prosecco. While these matches may work eating al fresco on a summer's day, when it comes to a northern climate, I'm looking for something a little more luscious that matches the hedonistic simplicity of the pizza.
To help me in my search, I asked Philip Contini, owner of Italian delicatessen and wine importer Valvona & Crolla in Edinburgh, whose grandfather hails from Campania, from the small town of Pozzuoli, west of Naples.
Mr. Contini says one of the problems with matching wine to pizzas found outside of Italy is the number of flavors and toppings chefs use to flavor them. These can range from fine hams to, in some cases, although very rare, caviar. "My great grandfather's favorite pizza was very simple," he says. "It was made with friarielle, a bitter green vegetable not unlike a tiny broccoli, slightly boiled, and slices of sausage served on a cheese and tomato base."
To counter pizza's two main ingredients, tomato and mozzarella, he says the wine needs acidity and a generous proportion of sweet fruit. If the pizza is complicated, with lashings of toppings, Mr. Contini recommends opting for the local red wine Aglianico. If it is a little more basic, such as a margherita, he recommends a Montepulciano, a wild, robust red wine from Abruzzo, the mountainous region in central Italy. I would extend the search to the red wines of Puglia, the heel of Italy, and add Primitivo and local variety Uva di Troia into the mix. Indeed, Primitivo's cousin in California, Zinfandel, is a good catchall pairing.
But sometimes, a white can work well if, say, the pizza is decorated with several cheeses or anchovies, in which case Fiano is a wonderful pairing, with the mineral zip at the end of each mouthful leaving one craving a second slice.

The recent November 2012 US election saw Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney pounding on the poor repeatedly. On the campaign trail, while catering to his rich donors, he called 47 percent of Americans moochers who lacked work ethics. After losing the election, he defended his defeat to his rich donors by saying those lazy free-loaders depending on the metaphoric "government cheese," received bribes in the form of "gifts" to vote for President Barack Obama.
But through all Romney's stroking of the rich and praising of those who he claimed "built it," I've always wondered how poor Republicans coped with the barrage of put-downs hurled by their party leader.
How do Republicans who fit into Romney's "47 percent losers" category handle the harsh criticism? You know, the demographic that desperately needs health care, a living wage as opposed to the minimum wage; and who may get government assistance in the form of disability, food stamps and housing, despite having jobs?
Don't get me wrong. There are hard-working folks on both sides of the political aisles who fight their darnest to make a success at life but who seem to fall short regardless of how long and hard their toil. But the Democratic Party's rhetoric is consistent, and even if they may not always walk their talk, they are smart enough to know not to kick the "99 percenter" when he's down.
The Republican Party hasn't learned that tact, and Romney's seemingly out of touch rhetoric loudly proved it. Yet there are people who, despite needing all of the social programs Obama and the Democratic Party are fighting to keep, hate "Obamacare" and dislike the president because they think of him as a "socialist, a "Muslim," "unAmerican" or dislike him because "he's a half-breed." One actually said that the South is going to rise again.
I kid you not. Check out the video attached above, in which some of the good folks of Mississippi, the poorest yet most conservative state in the Union, tell why they vote Republican and hate the president and the Democratic Party.
It is fascinating to watch these Mississippians defend being Republican while living in a place where poverty seems to have taken up permanent residence. They live in a place where hope is abstract and education, dental and medical health are fleeting ghosts. But the deep irony of their tragedy is woefully lost as they passionately defend their conservatism, God and party.
But then again, can one make the same argument for poor liberals whose lot in live has not changed since a Democratic administration took office? A substandard public education system in the inner cities across America that continues to churn out academically under-prepared high schoolers or dropouts? (Read more on the disparity in education and the startling drop-out rate among male black youth here).
Prof. Cornel West and TV host Tavis Smiley have repeatedly "double-teamed" Obama for neglecting the poor, especially minorities. West has even harshly called him a "Lincoln Republican in black face" and he and fellow advocate Smiley have hosted a couple "poor bus tours" across America to spotlight poverty. (See video with West and Smiley here).
Some applaud both men for calling the president on his failures, but defenders of Obama say both men are either on a personal vendetta or are surprisingly out of touch with the reality of the presidency. I say it may be a little bit of all of the above, but that doesn't make West and Smiley wrong on their assessment.
Some might say at least president Obama is fighting to prevent cuts to social programs that many Americans, including the elderly, the disabled, the uninsured and those needing an interim hand-up, not a hand-out, depend on to survive. Romney categorized almost half of the country lazy welfare queens.
However, it does feel like both parties have thrown their poor constituents under the bus despite their loyal support, for unfortunately, under our political system, those who have the least among us get the least attention. So minimum wage languished at $5.25 an hour for more than a decade before Congress, after voting no several times, finally brought it to $7.25 in most states. Millions have no healthcare while Republicans ran a crusade to torpedo "Obamacare." Most low-wage jobs—especially the service industry with employees who come into constant contact with consumers-- provides no health care for its workers as a killer flu rages through and cities declare public health emergencies across this country.
If one appears to be trying to solve a problem, but the problem seems stubbornly stuck in place and another ignores the problem or says he cannot help, but both end up at the close of the day with the problem unsolved, are they equally incompetent and or unfeeling, or does the one who tried get your approval?
Are there distinct differences between how the Democratic and Republican parties have treated the poor?

The Altoona Mirror
UNIVERSITY PARK - Penn State's Bill O'Brien has received another national award.
The Nittany Lions football coach, whose team posted an 8-4 record in his first year at the helm despite losing several top players in the wake of NCAA sanctions, was named the Maxwell Football Club's Collegiate coach of the Year on Wednesday.
O'Brien already won the ESPN Coach of the Year.
"Coach O'Brien has engineered a tremendous season for the Penn State football program while overcoming obstacles that many considered to be insurmountable," Maxwell Football Club executive director Mark Wolpert said.
"The team's 8-4 record is a great testament to the hard work of Coach O'Brien and his staff, and also to the dedication shown by the student-athletes involved in the football program at Penn State."
O'Brien will be honored March 1, 2013 at the 76th Maxwell Club National Awards Gala, which will be held at the Harrah's Atlantic City Resort. The organization also will present its Thomas Brookshier Spirit Award to the 2012 Penn State football senior in recognition of their commitment, leadership and outstanding effort during this season at the event.
On Tuesday, O'Brien was announced as one of six finalists for the Bear Bryant Coach of the Year Award along with Vanderbilt's James Franklin, Ohio State's Urban Meyer, Stanford's David Shaw, Kansas State's Bill Snyder and Texas A&M's Kevin Sumlin. He's also up for the Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year and Dapper Dan Sportsman of the Year.
Sponsored by the American Heart Association and Marathon Oil, the Bear Bryant Coach of the Year will be announced at the 27th annual event on Jan. 17, 2013, in Houston.
O'Brien was selected Big Ten coach of the year by both the conference coaches and media.

Meet Atomic's Newest Designer, Jessica Prater
Hi! My name is Jessica Prater, and I'm the newest designer at Atomic. I've been interning here for a couple months, and I'm excited to finally be an official employee.
In fact, I've wanted a career in graphic design ever since I can remember. So working here and doing what I love is awesome.
I can't wait to meet all of our Atomic clients. Here are a few facts about me.
- I started on the design path early. I'm a 2011 honors graduate of the School of Advertising Art. And I spent my junior and senior years of high school in the graphic commercial art program at the Miami Valley Career Technology Center.
- My hair? Yes, it's naturally curly.
- Loves = anything made of lace, photography, and collecting old cameras and films.
- I also love to cook … but the results are usually not so great.
- Favorite weekend activities = rummaging around vintage shops and thrift stores, going for a hike, or doing anything else outside.
- Drink of choice = hot tea.
- Favorite TV show = Doctor Who. Call me a geek, but I never get tired of watching and re-watching old episodes!
I look forward to meeting all of you soon and helping the team at Atomic continue to bring you great design.
Optimizing Your Website for Mobile Devices
Recently, I've been surprised to find that some of our customers are still uncertain about the value of optimizing their website for mobile.
It's been a trend for a few years now. But let me throw down two statistics to explain why it's increasingly important.
- Today, 15 to 30% of all searches are done on mobile devices.
- By the end of 2011, 50% of Americans will have a smart phone.
In other words, a ton of people are already trying to search for you via mobile. Those numbers are only going to increase. And before your website can function effectively as a mobile website, it must be made compatible with mobile devices.
Atomic can accomplish this task for you, a lot more quickly than you might think. Ready to optimize your site for mobile? Here are a few points to keep in mind.
- Simplify. Make the layout simple. Complex graphics and unconventional navigation are lost on mobile users. What are the few critical pieces of information your customers need? Include that. Forget about everything else.
- Resize. Make sure navigation links and buttons are large and easy to find. Your thumb isn't as accurate as your mouse.
- Prioritize. What content do you want your visitors to read? Make that the first thing they read. Users are much less likely to browse on mobile devices. They want to find the information they're looking for immediately.
- Technify. You're creating a mobile site. So maximize the capabilities of mobile devices with features like "Click to Call." Click-to-call lets a user press your phone number and instantly place a call —rather than having to exit their browser function, call up the phone function, and enter your number manually.
- Streamline. Whether your goal is to increase phone calls or sales, make this task as simple as possible. If you want a phone call, break the process into three quick steps: provide a brief description of services or why a customer should call, offer an incentive for calling, then show the phone number (using click-to-call). If you want a sale? Provide a brief description of the product or service, let your user click to the product page(s), and then click again to checkout.
If you want to see the difference between an optimized and non-optimized site, compare Home Depot vs. Menards, or Smashburger vs. Applebees. The difference in usability is huge.
So ask yourself: Which way do you want your site to look?
