Local Dancers get Ready to Dance "For the Kids"
Cutting the caffeine, eating right, exercising, and just trying to stay healthy are top priorities for Penn State York students Swara Shah, 20, and Kelley Dennis, 19, as they get ready to head to University Park to represent the campus in the Thirty-fifth Annual IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon, "Many Hearts One Home," set for Feb. 16 18 at the Bryce Jordan Center. This is the first year the Thon event takes place in the Jordan Center. Thon, as the dance marathon is affectionately known, is the largest student-run philanthropy in the country and its goal is to raise money to help fight pediatric cancer.
This year round fund-raising event benefits The Four Diamonds Fund, Conquering Childhood Cancer, at the Penn State Children's Hospital in Hershey, PA. The year culminates in a no-sitting, no-sleeping, two day dance marathon. Throughout the past 34 years, the students of Thon have raised more than $41 million and have helped thousands of children and families fight pediatric cancer. Last year the event raised more than $4.2 million. The mission of the Penn State IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon is to conquer pediatric cancer by providing outstanding emotional and financial support to the children, families, researchers, and staff of The Four Diamonds Fund.
During Thon weekend, more than 700 dancers and thousands of supporters come together at University Park in the hopes of one day finding a cure for pediatric cancer. Whether standing for 46 hours as a dancer, entertaining the crowd, taking care of the facility, or even sitting in the stands, every person at Thon plays a small part in creating an amazing atmosphere of love, compassion, and understanding. This atmosphere inspires the students to fund raise throughout the year and tells the families of The Four Diamonds Fund that they have the care and support they need. This collective effort, involving more than 15,000 students, has become one of Penn State's greatest and most unifying traditions.
For Shah, Dennis, and members of the campus' Thon committee headed by George Kapterian, local Thon chairperson and two-time dancer, the year has included a variety of fund-raising efforts from Thon-A-Palooza, a mini dance marathon involving area students; two band nights; and manning the coat check at the Pullo Family Performing Arts Center. Beginning Monday, Feb. 5 the group will be selling Sweet Willows Creamery ice cream outside the Lion's Den on campus. York has raised about $8,000 and hopes to break a campus record of $10,000.
Shah, 20, is a sophomore majoring in business and a graduate of Dallastown High School. Shah is very close with the family that Penn State York sponsors and over the past two years has grown very close to Madison "Maddie" Hill, "York's Thon child." Hill, 9, of Dover, PA, has been battling non-Hodgkin's lymphoma since October 2005 and will be undergoing treatments through July 2008. "I am dancing for the kids of course, but also because Thon has become part of my heart and soul and in the past two years I have dedicated most of my free time to doing Thon activities and planning them out. Maddie has also become like a little sister to me and I am dancing for her, as well as all the other kids."
Dennis, 19, an anthropology major and dance minor, is a graduate of Cedar Cliff High School in Camp Hill. She hasn't been involved with Thon as long as Shah, but has her own reasons for believing so strongly in Penn State's cause. "My best friend, whom I had known since elementary school, was diagnosed with a brain tumor when he was in eighth grade. He spent over a year in and out of Duke University Hospital and Hershey Medical Center's Children's Hospital. I spent so much time at both locations and watched too many children suffer through their battles with cancer. You cannot imagine what cancer does, not only to the kids diagnosed but also to the family and friends as well. Anyone who has been in that situation knows how important our cause is to those families. It has been five years since my friend died, but I have never forgotten him or those children. That's why I dance," Dennis said.
With such a passionate team behind Penn State York's cause, local Thon chair Kapterian is confident the campus can reach its goal of more than $10,000. "I believe with the committee's heart and determination as well as the support of Penn State York students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends, we can totally do it. After all, it's for the kids!"
There's still time to donate. Anyone interested in supporting the dancers from Penn State York can send checks made payable to:
Penn State Dance Marathon
c/o York Student Government Association
1031 Edgecomb Ave.
York, PA 17403
Checks sent to the local campus will be credited to the local dancers and
then added to the final total at University Park.

In commemoration of the centennial of the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, one of the largest children's hospitals in the world, the surgical staff of the hospital have compiled this comprehensive volume concerning the care of the injured child. Trauma continues to be the leading cause of death and disability in childhood, and this volume is one of the few reference books available concerned with both the general and specific aspects of trauma as they relate specifically to children. The 47 contributing authors from a wide variety of surgical, medical, and support services indicate the importance of teamwork in providing total care for the injured child. The excellent section on musculoskeletal injuries includes a discussion of first aid and emergency care as well as definitive surgical management. The management of injuries attributed to child abuse is discussed both from the medical and legal point of view. In addition to

Video: Jared Lorenzen Still Playing Pro Football
February 4th, 2014| by Lost Lettermen
Former Kentucky quarterback Jared Lorenzen is generously listed at 320 pounds and is now 32 years old, but he's still getting the job done as a quarterback.
The legendary UK QB known by nicknames such as the "Hefty Lefty," "Pillsbury Throwboy" and "Round Mound of Touchdown" is currently playing for the Northern Kentucky River Monsters of the Continental Indoor Football League and showed during Monday night's season opener he's still got surprising moves just like he did in Lexington. Lorenzen was actually on another CIFL roster last year but the team folded with two weeks left to go in the season.
The River Monsters won the game, 36-20, as Lorenzen completed 23-of-37 passes for 183 yards and 3 TDs. A previous NFL backup, Lorenzen won a Super Bowl XLII ring with the New York Giants.
Do we sense an NFL comeback?

For most of her high school basketball career, Alexiah Grant had visions of playing in college at the Division I or II level.
It wasn't until she completed her senior basketball season at Easton Area High School that she had a change of plans. High School classmate Tanisha Queen, a standout soccer player, was strongly considering Division III DeSales University and made her best pitch to sell Grant on the idea of going there.
Grant was suddenly intrigued by the idea. Queen ultimately went to Wilkes University, but it wasn't long before Grant made her decision to continue her basketball career at DeSales.
"She went her way and I went mine," Grant said. "If it wasn't for her I wouldn't have even looked at DeSales. In retrospect I'm very happy I came here."
DeSales (12-3 overall, 2-2 Freedom Conference) has indeed been a good fit for Grant, now a senior guard for the Bulldogs. She's averaging 16.5 points per game this season, which is second on the team to senior Sondrine Glovas of Wilson (17.5 ppg).
"Actually, her game has exploded in many ways this year," DeSales coach Fred Richter said. "She scores in bunches. She has a jump shot, takes it to the rim, and gets points off solid defense that leads to breakaway layups. That's one of the reasons she's improved her scoring four to five points per game."
"I don't ever know what I average," Grant said. "My mom is usually my stat calculator."
Early in her senior season at Easton, Grant was strongly looking at Division I schools Fairleigh Dickinson, Robert Morris and Maryland Baltimore County along with DII Indiana (Pa.)
"Those were the four I was really in contact with," said Grant, who said Hofstra and Hampton also showed moderate interest. "I wasn't even considering Division III."
Grant reached out to Richter, who actually attended the first game of her senior season at Easton.
"Coach Richter sent me a video of one of their games, and I liked their style of play," Grant said.
Grant, a computer science major with dual minors in mathematics and criminal justice, attended the Bulldog Bash, an orientation in which students have an opportunity to meet professors in their field.
"I found out it was a tight-knit community with an outstanding academic program in addition to having really good athletic programs," Grant said. "I really couldn't go wrong. I figured it was a no-brainer."
The 5-foot-6 Grant was predominantly a shooting guard in high school. Interestingly, mostly everybody, including DeSales, had her ticketed for the point guard position in college.
"Coach Richter wanted to try me at point guard because he already had a bunch of wings," Grant said.
By the end of her sophomore season at DeSales, it became increasingly evident that shooting guard would be her niche.
"I underestimated the point guard position," Grant said. "I really didn't know what it was all about. It just wasn't my spot.
"She's really flourished as a wing," Richter said. "In the long run, playing the wing has helped her understand both positions."
Grant does possess the versatility to push the ball upcourt in a pinch.
"I'm really a combo-guard," she said. "In high school I brought the ball up a couple times, but we had a designated point guard (Tiara Aziz). Coach Richter also gives me reigns to bring the ball up when I need to, but it's really not my position."
"One of the reasons I like her was because I like combination guards," Richter said. "She understands the big picture of what we're trying to get done. She's very focused on creating plays that make the team better."
Once Grant became acclimated to the small college environment, it was clear to her that she made the right choice.
"(Enrolling at DeSales) is probably one of the best decisions I've ever made," said Grant, who had 820 career points prior to Wednesday night's game at Misericordia. "I wouldn't have been able to grow as a player and a person if I went to a higher level. I would have got overwhelmed."
"Alexiah has a lot of personality," Richter said. "She's a bright young lady ... very articulate with a great sense of humor."
Grant gives Richter much of the credit for her development on and off the floor.
"I learned a lot about myself because of him," Grant said. "A lot of coaches are all about basketball, basketball, basketball, but he's about life, also. I'm a very mental player and he taught me how to compartmentalize. I learned that when I leave school I have to put basketball on its shelf and that everything else has its place."
Richter admits that Grant has given him more production than he ever envisioned.
"She's exceeded my expectations, to be frank," Richter said. "I didn't realize her potential in respect to being such a dynamic player on the wing. And that's been fun to watch."

Standley Lake HS closed Tuesday after student lights self on fire
WESTMINSTER, Colo. — A student walked into the Standley Lake High School cafeteria on Monday morning and set himself on fire, causing severe injuries to himself and causing the evacuation and closure of the high school.
The Westminster High School was open Tuesday only for students to come back and retrieve items they may have left behind in the evacuation. Classes remained cancelled, but counseling services were being offered for students.
A 16-year-old sophomore walked into the school around 7 a.m. on Monday, and used a one-gallon can of Coleman fuel.
"I saw this explosion happening in the lunch room," Leif Samson said. "Everyone started running out screaming, 'Fire!' I just grabbed my backpack and ran upstairs, and I looked out the windows overlooking the cafeteria. That's when I found out it was a guy on fire."
Two employees used a fire extinguisher to put out the fire quickly, according to Westminster Police spokeswoman Cheryl Spottke, but not before the student suffered severe burns. One of the first emergency responders estimated he had third degree burns over 80 percent of his body.
Police believe the student only intended to harm himself.
"We do believe that this was a suicide attempt we don't have any indication at this point that there was a threat against Standley Lake High School or any other school in Westminster," Spottke said.
"This is just such a tragedy," Jefferson County Schools spokesperson Lynn Setzer said. "Our hearts and our prayers go out to the family and to the school community and to the students who were here (Monday) morning."
Investigators later searched Nett's home, where they learned about a suicide note posted on Facebook that claims he had been planning his own public death for years.
"We're in high school," a girl who knew Nett said. "No life should end or even think about ending like this. It's so wrong to think that I'm not going to see him or talk to him again."
One of the cafeteria workers also suffered minor injuries when she broke the glass to access the fire extinguisher, Spottke said. Spottke also confirmed there were students in the cafeteria who witnessed the student lighting himself on fire.
Nett was taken to a hospital right away Monday morning. He was in critical condition. Friends left flowers outside his home, wondering if they could've helped.
Jefferson County Schools has not said when classes will resume at Standley Lake.

GAZA STRIP - Israeli Air Force jets targeted sites in the Gaza Strip overnight after a day of stepped-up Palestinian mortar and rocket fire at southern Israeli communities on Thursday.
Three Palestinians were reportedly killed in the strikes.
The Israeli army said they had targeted four sites including a weapons manufacturing facility in Gaza City; two weapons smuggling tunnels along the border between Gaza and Egypt; and what the army described as a "terrorist tunnel" in the central Gaza Strip.
It is likely that the "terrorist tunnel" was intended for an infiltration attack into Israel. Such a tunnel was used three years ago to mount a cross-border attack from Gaza, in which captive Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit was abducted.
Israel mounted the airstrikes after at least eight mortar shells and a Kassam rocket slammed into Israel on Thursday. The Kassam landed outside the southern Israeli city of Ashkelon. Four of the mortars fell at the Kerem Shalom crossing, where humanitarian supplies pass from Israel into the Gaza Strip.
Some reports said that the Israeli response was the toughest since the end of Operation Cast Lead last January, in which Israel launched a military operation to halt rocket fire at Israeli cities.
More than 300 rockets and mortars have been launched at Israel since then. That's way down from the 3,300 rockets and mortars launched at Israel in 2008, but still an average of nearly one a day.
Many Israeli experts ask which Western country would tolerate those constant attacks from its neighbor.
Earlier on Thursday, the Israeli Air Force dropped leaflets to residents in the Gaza Strip warning them to steer clear of the security fence and stay away from smuggling. The army said that the drop of the leaflets was planned in advance and was not connected with the aerial strikes.
Earlier this week, the head of the army's southern command Maj.-Gen. Yoav Galant warned residents of the south that the (relative) quiet that Israelis experienced recently along the border with the Gaza Strip might not last. He urged them to "prepare themselves for another round of fighting," the Israeli daily Ha'aretz quoted him as saying.

STROUDSBURG - There wasn't a team in the tournament boasting a more intimidating resume than Punxsutawney.
But, it didn't matter.
The Clinton girls stared the opponent down and with unwavering confidence and played on a level Punxsy couldn't reach, winning convincingly 6-1.
"What this means for Clinton softball is... we play tomorrow," Clinton manager Eric Dershem said. "It's huge for Clinton softball, but this is where we wanted to be. We're at the next step and we're taking it one game at a time."
Seeing Punxsutawney's starting pitcher, Kylie Lingenfelter, warm up made one thing abundantly clear. Punxsy had the tournament's fastest pitcher, no losses and no runs allowed through two games.
Clinton's response?
Bring it.
Dershem's squad started out well in the first, getting a early run from MaKenzie Peters' RBI single. Though the quick one-run lead was huge, something else may have rattled Punxsy. Clinton's batters stepped into the box unfazed to Lingenfelter's speed. Clinton was playing with confidence, one day after rallying late to beat West Point.
"Our girls like fast pitchers," Dershem said. "We told them, listen, 'This is what you've been begging for, so let's see what you got.' A couple contact hits can score a run and that's what we're going to do."
Clinton hardly had breathing room on the board up 1-0, but that all changed in the third. Skylar Falls and Cassidy Brush each were walked, setting up Josie Dershem, whose bunt single loaded the bases.
Caitlyn Brush brought home the first run, jumping on an off-speed pitch she belted to left field. The next two runs came from a fielding error at shortstop, followed by Dershem's steal for home. The final two runs came from Gabi Vuocolo, who smashed a double through left-center, that scored Brush and Skylar Smith.
"When you have a shot, you have to take it and move around when you can. We had the bases loaded and had a good stick by Gabi Vuocolo, clearing off some of the bags."
Vuocolo's two-run double was something she's been waiting for.
"Our coach said to us just to play hard and go at your best pace," Vuocolo said. "At the plate, he told us to just rip it and don't give up. I thought my hit was pretty good and it was probably a big hit for the team."
Clinton used Lindsey Johnson at pitcher in the fifth, having to rest Dershem, but Johnson did relatively well. Clinton only gave up one run on two hits through the final one and half innings, sealing the victory.
After the final out, the loyal Clinton fans stood and cheered with thunderous applause for their girls, a gesture the team never takes for granted.
"They're just awesome," Vuocolo said. "They have supported us all the way and they've been with us since we were nine. The team we have is great. We always have a good time at campgrounds or hotels, wherever we're at. We're just having a blast."

the NE 72nd block (and it was a big block.). We had a fantastic day. After
customers dutifully waited in the labyrinthine line, they arrived at the front
of the line with smiles and last minute choices. We so appreciate the sweet,
understanding of our wonderful customers that day. We hope you love your 'seconds'...they
have amazing personality.
Onto customer tidbits. A gentleman came in last week and through our
chatting I learned that he has been married for 45 years. He and his wife have
11 marvelous grown children. Before they set out on a three month sojourn to
One of our wonderful customers...Nancy Anderson...celebrated her 50th birthday surrounded by the things she loves most.... her family and friends, artwork by Martino Hoss, and 50 glassybaby. She graciously shared her photos with us.
Until next time, Nic

Regular people think grain is healthy. It isn't a conspiracy, they're just misinformed.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. - When Atlantis lifted off Friday morning, it marked the last launch of America's space shuttle program. It, however, was my first.
I'm sitting on the floor of a packed press center trying to sum up what these past couple of days have been like. Thursday's torrential rain made for miserable conditions, and bird-sized mosquitos looked for any unsuspecting bit of flesh.
But it also brought a ride out to pad 39A where Atlantis stood ready for launch. Journalists, including me, piled out of the bus like giddy children to pose for photos with the shuttle in the background. As we mugged for the cameras, we could see workers continuing to prepare Atlantis for the launch.
Sarah Cruddas, a weather forecaster who also does science-related stories for the BBC, was aboard the bus. She knows and loves Huntsville well, she said. She had attended a media space camp at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center.
"There's a massive appetite for science in the BBC," she said about the decision to attend the launch. "NASA's not just an institution here, but all over the world."
The agency has "always led the world in space travel," she said, "but maybe not after this" as Atlantis came into view from the bus windows.
Virtually every interview with NASA officials included a question about the bittersweet nature of this launch.
"I'm glad to have been part of the program, from the beginning to the end," said Dr. Jan Davis, an astronaut from Huntsville. She joined NASA in 1979 at Marshall Space Flight Center as an engineer and flew three shuttle missions.
She reflected the typical agency attitude about NASA's future: "I still think we're the leaders," citing the work under way on a heavy lift rocket , despite the fact that American astronauts will have to hitch a ride on a Russian Soyuz for the next several years. The heavy lift rocket is at least five years out, and the push is on to turn space flight into a commercial endeavor.
I don't know that many people were thinking about that as we gathered around the Turning Basin Friday morning, staring at Atlantis as the countdown moved forward, paused for a two-minute delay, and began again. Nervous chatter quieted and ceased until hundreds of journalists began counting together 9, 8, 7 ...
Then those engines fired, shaking the air. Smoke began to billow at the base of the pad and Atlantis began to lift off.
After all the worry about the weather, including a lightning strike a third of a mile from the pad on Thursday, we almost couldn't believe it.
People began to cheer as the shuttle lifted off three miles away. One journalist got poetic, reciting a line or two from the poem President Ronald Reagan read after the space shuttle Challenger accident -- "and they slipped the surly bonds of earth."
Another called out, "God Bless America."
As the rumble of the engines engulfed us and shook my whole body, I snapped photos as fast as I could and tears welled up.
I couldn't believe this was it, the end. I couldn't believe how lucky I was to be here, as I heard someone say, "to witness history."

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) -- Gov. Jon Corzine is in Washington to testify about the need for nationwide health care reform.
Corzine was invited to appear at a House subcommittee hearing. The panel is chaired by New Jersey Rep. Frank Pallone.
The governor testified for about 10 minutes, making the case for universal health care.
The former chairman of Goldman Sachs told the panel that the current economic downturn will force more employers to reduce or eliminate health coverage for their workers.
Corzine emphasized the need for a strong federal-state partnership and even stronger federal leadership. He said it is essential the government reauthorize SCHIP, the health insurance program for millions of American children.

Hi all,
I'm using SNMP extend to run a script on remote machines.
I found it worked perfectly for a script which needs no args on calling.
I tried to call a script using static args and it worked as good as the previous one.
But when I tried to call a script which args is a variable, it didn't work.
This is the conf for this extend:
extend jobcheck /home/ampra2/jobcheck $JOB
I have also tried using another solution, by using snmpset on the nsExtendArgs, but it gave me no Access to do so:
[ampra2@east-lin ~]$ snmpset -v2c -c messagelab $node NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendArgs s $JOB
Error in packet.
Reason: noAccess
Failed object: NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendArgs
Any idea how to solve this problem?

Skip to comments.How Best Buy Stole Christmas
Posted on 12/27/2011 10:24:34 AM PST by Hunton Peck
I wouldnt touch you with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole.
Theres a bit of inherent risk when shopping online. Youre handing over your credit card to a retailer that promises to ship you something in return. Most of the time transactions are completed without issue and orders are fulfilled as promised. Sometimes things go awry, though. And sometimes Best Buy ruins Christmas.
Best Buy started reaching out to customers earlier this week you know, mere days before Christmas that the retailer was unable to fulfill orders placed as far back as November. Big Blue was sorry but they were canceling the affected orders. Happy holidays! Signed, your merry friends at Best Buy!
Consumers traded the safety of buying an object from a brick and mortar store for the convenience and often lower prices found online. As Best Buy proves here, buying items online is still a bit risky even in 2011. Consumers just do not know for a 100% fact that they will get their product. Sure, receipts are issued and shipping estimates are given, but there are just too many variables involved for complete trust. Shipping companies can also break the chain, too. You just never know if the FedEx man is going to chuck your LCD monitor over a gate.
Generally though, the bigger the retailer, the more safe the transaction feels. Amazon, Walmart, Newegg and, to a lesser extent now, Best Buy should be considered trusted retailers. These massive companies should be able to fulfill online orders with minimum exceptions. But issues do arise. Customers are sometimes left without their order, feeling used and abused.
Dont worry about Best Buy, though. The retailer isnt hurting its bottom line by canceling orders en mass. The Wall Street Journal quotes an analyst stating Its a hiccup for the company and It probably wont make a big difference for Best Buys holiday sales. Oh good. Because Best Buys earnings were the first things I thought of when this story broke. Screw the customers. They dont matter anyway.
Apparently if those with canceled orders whine enough, Best Buy will issue them a gift card for the inconvenience. Of course those that suck it up and move on get nothing.
Theres no way of knowing how many of these canceled orders were to be holiday presents. Reportedly many of the canceled items were sold on Black Friday. But even without Christmas looming, Best Buy held these orders hostage for nearly a month. They violated the trust of their customers. The retailer essentially cast a wide net, collecting just as many orders as they could, likely knowing it would be unable to fulfill them all. Its greedy, unacceptable and just plain wrong. Merry Christmas.
Oh, and just in case you need help, the CEO of Best Buy posted a tip to his Facebook page.
Ok, I'm not a BB fanboy, but come on. I do think people whine too much. Yes, BB ought to issue gift cards for the screw up, but move along and stop taking everything as a personal assault. Sometimes thi gs get screwed up.
the author does not know finance or history.
"big blue" is always IBM.
Best buy is not big blue, big yellow perhaps since the phone book is dead.
I just like the fact that christmas has the last laugh at "worst buy"
Well a lot of attorney generals will have fun in the next year going after Best Buy.
I really never cared for the store and very much miss Circuit City.
They pulled the same crap with med last year when I was buying my teenager a laptop. Left me scrambling at the last minute. Found a better one at Staples.
Christmas is stressful enough.
I think someone at BB was OK'ing orders in excess of inventory, thinking they could get enough to cover.
Sounds like somebody guessed wrong, Heads should roll.
I don't know. I still had Christmas. Guess Best Buy wasn't as all-powerful as this blogger thinks.
Dell did the same to me. Promised delivery by Christmas but their shipper won't cooperate. The shipper said I was lucky they even took my call.
Oh... Wait. It did.
Someone needs to do their homework.
In life, there are disappointments. How you deal with those disappointments is a testament to your character.
My mother in law was distraught that a gift meant for me hadn't arrived. Did it matter? Not in the least. I already had everything I could ever want with me that morning: Family, a warm house, food, The Greatest Country in the World, and of course Salvation from my Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen. Dinosaur pens. "Swaptronics". Market domination.
That's been Big Blue since 1911. Industrial tabulating for everyone.
The author is a punk idiot.
Geez what a whiney little butt-hole this guy is. Maybe he is just trying to advance the notion of how evil capitalism
Under communism these gifts would have been plentiful, I am sure.
Let's ask the people of the former USSR, they can tell us.
"I really never cared for the store and very much miss Circuit City."
Me too! There's something about competition that many times prevents consumer abuses like these mentioned in the article.
Nailed it.
During my family get-together, the topic came up and they were all complaining about Best Buy's ugly "anti-Santa" commercials. Really seemed to PO everybody. I hadn't seen them, since I so rarely watch network tv.
My sisters bf got a great deal on gigantic hd tv. He was 4th in line (started on Wednesday). He made many "friends", met family that have been doing this for quite sometime.
He paid $210 for a $1200 tv. He also went home, took a 5 hour nap (the others in line held his spot). He told my sister he couldn't go back, it was too much, but she encouraged him to do so.
She came over, we had our Thanksgiving meal, then she made him his holiday plate and took it to him.
He told the story at our Christmas gathering. He said he met so many nice people. I asked him how BB did such great crowd control.
They came out to the people in line and asked "who is here for _____? They then handed out 20, or however many of those items they had in stock, bracelets.
"Who is here for tv's?" Same thing. After those who had bracelets were allowed in and all done, they then allowed the rest of the public in, 20 at a time.
He said there were people yelling at him and the others in the front saying "no way you've been here for 2 days", etc.
Well, they were and they got what they wanted at a "give away" price.
It WAS NOT the mad rush as we have all witnessed on many a video. BB had great crowd control.
Serves them right fir dissing Santa. I hated those ads.b
"Guess Best Buy wasnt as all-powerful as this blogger thinks."
Or just not as powerful as Santa. :-)
Several years ago Toys R Us ran into the same problem but they did the right thing by sending shipments with priority mail or over night and promised if you didn't get your order by Christmas Eve they wouldn't charge your card.
Honestly, I would start a shareholder's suit for negligence against the officers personally: this is too unreasonable to be excused as a 'business decision.' Reboot? That's an I.T. solution, not a business solution.
Only if the meaning of Christmas to you is a gew gaw from Best Buy.
"My mother-in-law was distraught that a gift meant for me hadn't arrived".
From what I occasionally read about MIL's... you had your Christmas present right there. If she was upset that you may be disappointed.. you have a great relationship with her.
Best Buy sux. They have been screwing over customers forever.
Sorry, but you take an order on 11/25 or whatever black friday was, and then cancel it on December 20th???? That's crap... especially when we are talking things that aren't in short supply...
Seriously you couldn't fill an order for a Wii??? After a month? That's not a supply chain issue, that's Best Buy deciding you didn't buy enough other stuff with that loss leader order, so we are going to not fullfil your order.
I have never been a best buy fan, ever, so this didn't affect me, but I can assure you, this wasn't a matter of they were hoping to fill these orders until they last minute, this was a matter of taking as many order as they could get knowing they never intended to fill them all, and cherry picking the ones to fill and rejecting the ones with lower margins. Imagine if your brick and mortar store did this to you..
You walk into buy that sale item, and that's all, but when you go to leave, they won't let you buy it because you didn't buy anything else....
No one would stand for that, yet because they did this online, its okay? Hopefully folks will learn and just not shop at Best Buy and they will go the way of Montgomery Ward.
Last year my goofy kids went to Best Buy at 4 am and waited in line for the store to open. They didn't even buy anything. They just wanted to be where the action was.
Ya slip a few elfen provocateurs into an operation, it's amazin' how much can mischief they can make . . .
How did people do Christmas before best buy was invented?
People don't even know what Christmas is anymore.
"since the phone book is dead."
It may be dead, but I still get at least 8 of them a year! They go to the recycling bin.
You are so right. I am so sick of santa. My Marine and I are spending our Christmas budget doing things together during his leave. Priceless.
I too, found the Santa ads disrespectful and an insult.
Honestly, their advertizment agency said "Let's insult and denigrate Saint Nick at Christmas - what a great idea"? And the people at BB went along with it?
I don't shop BB when I can go elsewhere, and I usually do go elsewhere. Why? What's more important than selling me an item at a good price? Service after the sale. I bought in inexpensive TV, after 35 days it wouldn't turn on. BB refused to accept it back as defective, no in-store credit, no refund, nothing.
Since then, I have purchased 3 HDTV and a very expensive home theater system. Nothing, not even the cables came from BB; and likely nothing ever will.
Over-anticipating a weak shopping season is forgivable....
Not having the capacity to order and ship late is just stupid.
You are correct and your reply makes too much sense for the ones defending this. Best Buy screws over customers ALL THE TIME!
there is no problem shopping at best buy (except the LOUD rap music, noise, clueless sales people, etc.) as long as you DON'T Buy anything there.
Use Best Buy as a way to look at something then buy it for far far far less and better online. (assuming they even have the item in question) Computer parts are 5-10 times more expensive.
Even walmart is probably better than their offerings and prices.
If Mr. Burns is that shallow that an electronic item not being shipped to him by Best Buy will ruin his Christmas, he has larger problems than Best Buy not shipping his electronic item. He just doesn't know it yet.
I had an issue where I bought a Sony a66 camera online with in store pickup. The camera was very hard to find as floods have stopped production. But I found one bought it with IN STORE Pickup and the store didn't have it. Neither did their warehouse. So I asked what this guy was going to do to fix this and he gave me $50 gift certificate. And I didn't buy anything. I then found the camera at Ritz Camera about 1 hour away (2 hours away from the best buy I was going to have to drive to).
So they did right by me.
interesting tidbit, while everyone is PO's at best buy's attack on santa.
CNBC is reporting poor holiday dales.
Fox News with the same "obama surge in approvals" is reporting stellar holiday sales.
attack santa clause.
boost obama grinchmas.
BB is seldom a top Reco from CNET.com or Amazon.
Looking for the meaning of Christmas in a thread critical of the on-line shopping experience....????
...actually...in excess of their minimal logistics line.
If you have ever noticed - Best Buy is not in the business of selling electronics...their primary business if you pay close attention is selling insurance and warranties. They can sell all the insurance and warranties in world - but not hardware. The don't have the scale of logistics that Walmart, Amazon, Target, etc., have.
I have never relied upon Best Buy as hardware or software source when providing IT support for my customers.
Given how best buy pushes their "extended warrenties" I STRONGLY suspect this was intentional.
Snag the internet sales with a bait and BLOCK so people will not buy elsewhere then cancel the order so the sale is denied to the other online retailers. They if possible push best buy "gift" cards.
methinks something stinks in denmark.
"How does h h gregg match up to these two?"
Never shopped there.
Circuit City had better class of employees and products.
Lol, that is goofy!!!
Yeah, me too. Too angry.
I buy nothing online that is critical. The idea that there is NO ONE to that gives a sh*t online is the primary reason. At least with a store there is someone to annoy until you get what you paid for or get your money back.
Online stores also believe they can keep your credit card information unsecured or charge to it anytime they feel like it. More than half of the companies I have ever given my credit card to online have been problems later.
EVERY company beleives any subscription can be automatically billed to your credit card for a new subscription. EVERY last one of them. I subscribed to several professional and hobby subscriptions and have checked not to automatically renew, yet, each and every one did so. I also canceled each and every one.
hhgregg is overpriced. A store for the uneducated consumer.
I don't know, but I can say this. Last Spring we bought a refrigerator from HH Gregg, and we were sold an HH Gregg warranty because they told us how difficult it would be to get service from the manufacturer should something break. As it would happen, the ice-maker broke a few months later, and when we called HH Gregg to take advantage of the speedy repair they promised us under their own warranty, they simply referred us to the manufacturer because it was still under their warranty. Sure enough, just as they had warned us, it was pretty much impossible to get service from the manufacturer, which left me wondering just what I had paid for.
Our office was donating a giant tv. I called the Salvation Army. They said they were OVER RUN with tv's....bigger and better ones (ours was "out of date").
Next Christmas, go to the Salvation Army for your gift purchasing. At least your money, well spent, would go to a great cause.....the few who remain with Him.

The Northwest is now chemical weapons free
Workers at the Umatilla Chemical Depot in northeast Oregon have incinerated the very last of the chemical mustard agent stored there.
The depot was once home to 3,717 tons of heavily guarded chemical agent in bombs, rockets and one-ton containers. Now, the sage-studded expanse sits empty.
There's nothing left in the underground bunkers covered by oddly shaped mounds. The more-than 7-year incineration campaign ends well ahead of a treaty deadline of April 2012. Michael Fletcher with the U.S. Army says many workers on the base watched live video of the final container as it exited the incinerator empty.
"Some boisterous clapping and everything for that. A lot of satisfaction for a job well done," Fletcher said.
About 1,000 workers will lose their jobs at Umatilla over the next three years. The base is in the process of transitioning into an industrial park, Oregon National Guard base and wildlife refuge.

"Cameron Indoor Stadium is a special place in sports and there's really nothing else out there quite like it. Anytime I'm inside Cameron, I've got memories. Cameron is like Yankee Stadium or the old Boston Garden."
- Grant Hill
(Played in Cameron: 1990-1994)
"I like the classic look of it inside and outside. From the outside, you can't tell it's a gym. Then you go in and the seats are right on top of you. All these jerseys and banners are hanging in there. It's really old school. It's like a field of dreams thing. I come in at nights, maybe the night before a game, and just shoot by myself with the lights off."
- J.J. Redick
(Played in Cameron: 2002-2006)
"There is nothing like playing in Cameron Indoor. I've dribbled the ball up the court and the floor is shaking."
- Bobby Hurley
(Played in Cameron: 1989-1993)
"Cameron is the most unique basketball arena in the world. I don't think there is anything like it. You can turn on an NBA game during the playoffs, and they will say this is as close to Cameron Indoor Stadium as the NBA ever gets. You are watching an NBA game and they are referencing Cameron. People talk about Cameron in the same breath as Wrigley field when they are talking about baseball."
- Jay Bilas
(Played in Cameron: 1982-1986)
"Cameron isn't the biggest coliseum you will play in but it is the most energetic and it has the most history. You can just feel it coming in here. It is like playing in the most electric high school game you have ever played in multiplied by 100. Other schools try to emulate what Duke does, but there is only one Cameron Indoor Stadium and one Cameron Crazies."
- Shavlik Randolph
(Played in Cameron: 2002-2005)
"Cameron is unbelievable. Watching on TV, you can't get a true appreciation for what it is really like. Even when I came as a recruit to watch a game, I still didn't understand. But when you are on the court and you have the Cameron Crazies behind you and the crowd, it takes you to another level."
- Jon Scheyer
(Played in Cameron: 2006-2010)
"Cameron was one of the reasons that I came to Duke. The Cameron Crazies and the atmosphere they create in our gym is just unbeatable. When you combine the Duke Basketball team and the Duke program with Cameron and the Cameron Crazies, it's just a force that is tough to beat. That's why all the Duke teams have been so good over the last twenty years."
- Christian Laettner
(Played: 1988-1992)
"I have played in arenas all over the world and for me Cameron is by far the best place to play primarily because of the support you get from the Crazies. They come out every game regardless of whether you are playing a low-level DI team or North Carolina. Every game is an event, it is loud every game, and they support you every play. They don't take a play off."
- Trajan Langdon
(Played in Cameron: 1994-1999)
"Cameron has a soul. It has a spirit. Most buildings don't have life to them. Cameron Indoor Stadium breathes life. Even empty, it feels like someone is playing and I never feel alone. That is its spirit."
- Coach K
(Coached in Cameron since 1980)
Toughest Road Game in America
Home Sweet
- Longest sellout streak in all of basketball (college or NBA), dating back to 1990.
- 95-4. Duke's home record this decade.
- 11 undefeated seasons by Coach K-led Duke teams in Cameron
- 18 seasons out of the past 24, in which Duke has raised a banner in Cameron for a Final Four or ACC championship
- 52 banners sent to the rafters during Coach K's career - 5 NCAA titles, 12 Final Fours, 13 ACC Tournament crowns, 12 ACC regular-season titles, 9 retired jerseys, 8 Final No. 1 rankings
- 116 consecutive home wins by Duke over non-conference foes, dating back to 2000 - Duke has 108 straight home wins over unranked non-league teams
*Accurate as of 2015-16 season

Celine Dion wanted to get off on the right foot at the March 25 premiere of her new Las Vegas extravaganza, A New Day...but it wasn't meant to be. "I have one pair of shoes backstage, and it got stolen," a barefoot Dion told the audience. "My size is 8...anyone?" A replacement pair was quickly located, and Dion triumphantly settled into what will be her home stage for the next three years: the $95 million, 4,100-seat Colosseum, built just for her at Caesars Palace. Dion, 35, said the gig provides "stability for my family" (she and husband René Angélil are raising son René-Charles, 2, in nearby Lake Las Vegas) and "freedom onstage" (her $100 million contract doesn't hurt, either). With 599 performances to go, the Canadian singer already feels her Vegas gamble has paid off. Said Dion: "I am so happy."

The "30 Minute Facelift" – unveiled on CBS The Doctors TV Show in November 2011 – evolved from the AccuLift procedure (also known as Laser Assisted Facial Contouring or LAFC).
The 30 Mintute Facelift addresses three key areas of lower facial aging (right and left jawline and the area under the chin) in a single, outpatient, minimally invasive manner – the AccuSculpt laser is used to reduce or eliminate jowling of the lower face and to contour the area under the chin (also referred to in this area as Laser Assisted Neck Contouring or LANC).
The goal of the 30 Minute Facelift is to restore the youthful jaw and neck lines and eliminate the pear shape of the aging face while helping to re-establish the apple shape of a more youthful face.
For patients with minimal to mild skin laxity and accumulated volume at the jawline (jowls) and under the chin the 30 Minute Facelift may be a good standalone procedure. For patients with more significant skin laxity and/or associated volume loss (eg in the midface) LAFC and LANC may be incorporated into the overall treatment plan. Examples include:
30 Minute Facelift with Soft Tissue Augmentation (eg Radiesse injections or lipografting)
30 Minute Facelift with Fractional CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing
Laser Assisted Facelift (surgical) that begins with laser contouring of the lower face and the area under the chin before surgically lifting the associated loose skin and deeper soft tissues.
The 30 Minute Facelift is easily done under just local anesthesia and involves only a few small needle punctures. After the treatment areas are anesthetized the AccuSculpt laser fiber is inserted through a needle puncture. As laser energy is delivered to the fatty tissue in the treatment areas the fat breaks up and goes from a solid to a partial liquid state called an emulsion. The treated fat is then removed with a small liposuction cannula attached to a small syringe. A small rectangular tape is placed over the needle puncture sites and an elastic facial band is then used to provide compression to the treatment areas. Light bruising may occur and swelling may take a week or longer to fully subside. Slight tenderness may be present at the treatment areas for a few days or longer.
A formal consultation with Dr Holcomb is necessary to assess each patient's suitability for the 30 Minute Facelift and any associated procedures.
Joyce underwent the 30 Minute Facelift during live taping of
The Doctors TV Show in October 2011

IN MY strange and various reading, when I keep coming across a quotation, commentary, or allusion to a particular book, poem, play, biography, or whatnot, ultimately I am led or forced to look it up. If the book is off the beaten track or if it seems particularly enchanting, I keep an eye open for it in the innumerable book catalogues that by hook or crook come my way. Often I get the book. Two books, in particular, I had gone questing for. One was John Livingston Lowe's Road to Xanadu. Not only have I finally found a first edition of this book, but I have sent many paperback copies to friends. Another book that kept coming up in my far ranging reading was The Natural History of Selborne by Gilbert White, or, given more properly and in extenso, "The Natural History and Antiquities of Selborne in the county of

In response to case reports of toxic shock syndrome, six case-comparison studies were done in 1980. Early cases were predominantly in menstruating women, and the use of tampons was strongly associated with the onset of illness. Because of the widespread publication of this finding, the case-comparision studies had problems due to differential ascertainment and recall bias. However, the number of cases among women was so great and the relation with tampon use so marked that unreasonable assumptions are necessary if the results are to be attributed to these biases. The studies show the power of epidemiologic methods, even given the unfavorable circumstance of an uncommon condition, associated with a common practice. Although the absolute risk of toxic shock syndrome is small, tampon users have more than a tenfold excess risk of the condition over women not using tampons, and the use of tampons is an adequate explanation for the excess risk of women over men.

In the Muslim world churches are rare ~ and most highly regulated.
So if we move the GZ mosque ~ we will be attacked!!
Now its don't risk offending the radicals!!
He is attempting something that has offended us ~ and his argument against changing it / shifting the mosques position / is that it will offend the radicals. So we should be very very afraid!
This is ridiculous. He is adding injury to insult.
The description of land which has been attacked via Islamic holy war is Dar al Islam, or the conquered land, also described as the land of 'peace'. Verses Dar al Harb or the unconquered land or the realm of war. Understandably the terrorist /fundamentalists would see that site in New York as the conquered land. So belonging to Islam.
The Imam understands Shari'a law well ~ he has spearheaded a Shari'a Index Project ~ of no doubt he plans to run in one of the 15 floors in his 'community center'. The Imam has stated that he purposely picked the building where shrapnel hit ~ and so making it a part of the 9/11 site. Thereby placing it within the conquered land ~ of Dar al Islam. If he moves the mosques he then moves it into Dar al Harb. If this seems far fetched ~ Imam's book in Arabic was titled ~ from the 'Rubble of the WTC comes Islamic Dawa' [or spreading of Islam]. First lets establish that he wants to be in the rubble of the WTC ~ and he has that with the shrapnel that hit the building. Now he will set up his Shari'a project ~ in an attempt to make the most repressive religious laws on earth more palatable. He is set on spreading Islam from a position of Islamic conquest.
The Muslim joke after 9/11 was that New York would be filled with mosques. Conquered.
This photoshopped image was released 2001/2002 to show that by 2006 New York's skyline would be covered in mosques.
Though we must be warned about the use of the threat of terrorist attacks to control behavior! Then the terrorists are in control.
Though we must be warned about the use of the threat of terrorist attacks to control behavior! Then the terrorists are in control.
NEW YORK (AP)— The imam behind a proposed Islamic community center and mosque near ground zero cautioned Wednesday that moving the facility could cause a violent backlash from Muslim extremists and endanger national security.
Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf told CNN that the discourse surrounding the center has become so politicized that moving it could strengthen the ability of extremists abroad to recruit and wage attacks against Americans, including troops fighting in the Middle East.
"The headlines in the Muslim world will be that Islam is under attack," he said, but he added that he was open to the idea of moving the planned location of the center, currently two blocks north of the World Trade Center site.
"But if you don't do this right, anger will explode in the Muslim world," he later said, predicting that the reaction could be more furious than the eruption of violence following the 2005 publication of Danish cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad.
Opponents say the center, which would include a Sept. 11 memorial and a Muslim prayer space, should be moved farther away from where Islamic extremists destroyed the World Trade Center and killed nearly 2,800 people. Supporters say religious freedom should be protected.
Rauf, 61, has largely been absent since the debate over the center erupted earlier this year. He has been traveling abroad, including taking a State Department-funded 15-day trip to the Middle East to promote religious tolerance.
In the interview with CNN's Soledad O'Brien, his first since returning to the U.S. on Sunday, Rauf responded to a number of questions that have been raised about the project.
He said money to develop the center would be raised domestically for the most part.
"And we'll be very transparent on how we raise money," he said, adding that no funds would be accepted from sources linked to extremists.
Rauf said that, in retrospect, he might have chosen a different location for what he described as a multifaith community center.
"If I knew this would happen, if it would cause this kind of pain, I wouldn't have done it," he said.

This is a message board I don't care if my argument sticks or not but the fact his, this series truly gave some fans and maybe the front office a false look on where this team really is. Boston on the other hand provided a very clear picture and not a good one at that.
So Boston was a good indicator and for some reason Chicago was a bad indicator.... Ok?
Like I said, both teams were better than us. And we lost to both of them. I take no false hope from the Chicago series, but I also don't give up hope over the Boston series.
If you don't care about your argument on this message board why do u bother posting?

Washington lawmakers hit the brakes on a possible government shutdown this weekend, but the crisis has not been averted just yet.
The House passed the Senate's version of a short-term measure that funds the government through Oct. 4. That gives lawmakers until next week to vote on another funding bill.
But party bickering is still a problem. At issue is a part of the almost $4 trillion budget intended for disaster aid.
The bill provides nearly $3 billion to help victims of floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, and other natural disasters.
Republicans and Democrats have been divided over how to pay for the infrequent aid.
FEMA estimates that as of Monday morning, it had $114 million left in its disaster relief account, enough to last until Thursday or Friday, according to agency spokeswoman Rachel Racusen.

I'm sorry for bombarding you with a lot of pictures today, but I thought you were due for an update. It's been awhile, and each week my belly just gets bigger and bigger. It's fun to document because I like to compare how small I was at one point. These days I'm feeling rather large and whale-like.
20 weeks pregnant. I feel obviously pregnant here, but still on the cuter side of the belly.
I have not forgotten about my sweet Winston. Isn't he sweet?
22 weeks and my nails are in a hideous state. I kept getting gel nails only to realize that I should probably not soak them in acetone to remove them. So, instead I demolished my nails by peeling the paint off. I am awesome like that.
I recently discovered this awesome snack at Whole Foods. They're only $7.99. So I tried to find out how to make them at home and it turns out it's some crazy flash fried technology only available in labs (or something like that…I'm being sarcastic about the lab part). I guess I'll just have to cough up the big bucks for them instead. p.s. Okra is delicious!
My appetite has seriously increased in the last couple weeks. I've been eating spinach omelets like they're going out of style. I passed my 3 hour glucose test but it was confirmed that I am, indeed, hypoglycemic and the Dr. emphasized that it is important for me to eat small meals throughout the day rather than 3 big meals. I admit to being bad about this, but am trying very hard to change that. I guess being hungry every hour or so is making that more and more possible.
I got this beautiful book of inspiration! Kate Spade's Thing We Love is full of beautiful images and of course all things Kate Spade.
My new Cece flats from J.Crew came in. I love them. But I did have to take them off approximately 30 minutes after putting them on. My feet are starting to swell and it's ain't swell. But how pretty is that cobalt??
26 big weeks. I mean, I'm really popping out now. Getting out of bed is quite the feat. I kind of have to hurl myself forward and then roll. I've really gained quite a bit of weight in my upper body - my back and arms, which is where I always gain and it makes me feel HUGE on top. Dolman tops seem to be the most flattering on me right now. But going out in public is getting to be hard on my self esteem.
There are lots of baths happening lately. Soaking in the tub with bubbles and epsom salt and lavender candles is the perfect ending to any day.
Just some pretty lighting from the bath. Courtesy of my husband.
I joined vine just like the other 10 million bloggers. Come find me. I can't guarantee I'm going to keep it or update it all that often.

Manny, Michael, and Kobe: What Basketball Reveals About Pacquiao
Avi "Shoefly" Korine
February 18, 2010
Forgive all the basketball talk but with the trade deadline only hours ago I've had my second favorite sport on the brain (I like the Jamison trade but am distraught over no Amar'e in Cleveland). Courtesy of Elie Seckbach from fanhouse we now have ever more footage of Manny shooting hoops.
Besides the obvious question of whether it's wise to be playing, with marginal athletes, a sport prone to rolled ankles only weeks away from a multi-million dollar event the footage of Manny is still illuminating to me. Perhaps it's because I'm equally accustomed to making outsized claims about an athlete's personality based on their basketball game as I am for their actions in the boxing ring, but seeing Manny play is a revelation.
For some reason when hearing about Pacquiao's love of the sport I had always thought he would play as an unselfish facilitator, someone who would look to get his teammates involved before getting his own shot. Manny always seemed to me a man concerned with other peoples happiness, sometimes to a fault. I imagined him as an expert passer who would get more aggressive as the game progressed.
But to see his actual play style - an aggressive and reckless gunner with profound self-confidence - has fundamentally changed the way I think about him. He's not great, but he plays as though he thinks he is. I had always placed Pacquiao outside of the familiar story of the unnaturally competitive champions - the Jordans, Kobes, and Tigers - but it seems now that is clearly wrong. Of course, it's extrapolating too much to make any grand statements from brief footage of an athlete's second favorite sport, but to me it's right there in the footage.
Manny Pacquiao is a killer. He's a competitor of the highest level and he has the same drive and ego we see in every other elite champion. He does it with a smile on his face, which is what is so disorienting and confusing, but he has no less a desire and cruel hunger for glory and victory than any of his coequals in the other sports.
I talked earlier this week about why I don't think Freddie Roach is right when he suggests that Manny Pacquiao's retirement is imminent, watching this footage only adds to that belief. Manny is a competitor and performer of the highest order. He loves being the center of attention, having the ball in his hand. Whether it's launching broken jumpers or standing at center ring Manny has a self-confidence and will to win that is masked, but not concealed by his amiable personality.
Beneath the smile and the singing, Manny is a killer.
