COLUMBUS - Tylor Pritchard has been to state before. But a whole new experience awaits him.
"Day 2," Pritchard said when meeting with reporters after his opening match.
A year ago, Pritchard dropped his first two matches, exiting the tournament after the first day. This time around, he's going to stick around a bit longer.

Upper Sandusky's Tylor Pritchard listens intently to his coach Chris Rodriguez on Thursday at the State Wrestling Tournament.
Despite a tough first round draw at the Division II state wrestling tournament, matching with up a third-place finisher from last year in Norton's Sean Rutherford, Pritchard rallied late for a 3-2 sudden victory, and a spot in today's championship quarterfinals at 220-pounds.
"It was very tiring and I'm happy," Pritchard said. "I mean that's the first time I won a match here. So, I mean, you beat a guy that got third last year and a predicted champ, that's awesome. That's awesome."
Pritchard was a bit out of breath after the match, but it can be argued his conditioning is what carried him through.
Rutherford held a 2-0 lead going into the third round, but took injury time before the round in what seemed like a move to simply catch his breath. Pritchard picked up an escape point in the round, then was the beneficiary of a stalling call on Rutherford with a second to go to send the match to overtime.
"We knew he wasn't really injured, he was taking injury time," Pritchard said. "We knew he was tired. Shoot, my conditioning is better than most of the guys down here, so that's what won me that match. Just practicing hard and all that conditioning."
Pritchard was able to go in the down position in the overtime and nearly got an escape before Rutherford held on to his foot. The result was another stalling call and the match for Pritchard.
"Tylor, he just keeps plugging along," said Upper Sandusky coach Chris Rodriguez. "We've been talking all year long, one-point wins will get you on the podium. And he's happy with a one-point win. He doesn't need to score 20 points. Win by one point, walk off with your hand raised and feel good about it.
"Tylor wrestled a tough kid; the Rutherford boy is real a tough kid. Tylor's a real tough too. People kind of doubt him a little bit, 'cause he's from Upper probably, I don't know. But they'll remember him."
The day wasn't as kind for the three other Rams in Columbus. Seniors Carson Mengerink (132) and Alex Kenner (160) had their careers come to an end after dropping two matches Friday. Also losing twice was 113-pounder, sophomore Thurston Dyer.
"Thurston's got another chance, but those two boys Alex and Carson, they're done," Rodriguez said. "It's unfortunate, but it has to end somewhere. Better to end down here than someplace else.
"All three of those boys, they don't ever quit. They don't stop fighting and that's why they're here. Thurston's going to be back. We'll have to see what happens with Carson and Alex, but that pretty much tells you the story about Upper wrestling. They don't ever quit."
Dyer fell behind in his opening round match 7-0 after two periods against Lane Peters of Claymont. Dyer rallied in the third period but fell by an 8-4 decision.
His consolation match with Brian Persinger of Wooster Triway was as close as could be. Persinger was able to score a second-period escape of Dyer, and it held up for a 1-0 win.
"It's great that I got down here, the way I had to get down here, the way I had to qualify, but it's kind of a disappointing showing," Dyer said. "I might have not been moving quick enough that first period. I should've had a takedown two or three times that first period."
Mengerink fell by a 10-6 decision in the opening round to Tyler Knul of Circleville, then dropped a tough 3-2 decision to Chandler Golec of Claymont in the consolation round.
Mengerink had a chance to tie the match in the third period, but couldn't get the escape.
Kenner had one of the toughest draws in the opening round, against the state's top ranked wrestler in Alex Marinelli of St. Pairs Graham. Kenner opened with a takedown of the defending state champion, but Marinelli proved to be too much in a 26-11 technical fall.
In his consolation match, Kenner fell behind William Navin of Granville 7-0 before getting things going in the third period. Kenner scored four takedowns but couldn't get a turn and fell by an 11-8 decision.
"It (stinks) cause it's the last match of high school, but it just happened like that," Kenner said. "Wish it didn't, but it did."
"Wish I could've got that in the beginning of the match, I think it would've been a lot different than it ended," he said of his late rally.
"Nobody wants to lose, of course, especially those three boys," Rodriguez said. "Those boys are very competitive and they want to win. I'm more concerned about the loss of them from the team than the loss in the match. They're great kids, great leaders and they're going to be missed."
While the journey has come to an end for Mengerink, Kenner and Dyer, Pritchard's keeps going on. He'll compete in a championship quarterfinal match when action resumes today at 10:40 a.m.

Global Network of River Basins Workshop Discusses Climate Change Adaptation
3 July 2013: The UN Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) hosted the fourth workshop on water and climate change in transboundary river basins, which also served as the first meeting of the global network of river basins on climate change adaptation.
Bringing together 120 participants, including representatives from agriculture, hydropower and industry, the workshop, which was held from 25-26 June 2013, in Geneva, Switzerland, included sessions on: linking transboundary adaptation strategies to national adaptation strategies; streamlining adaptation strategies at different levels; transboundary adaptation serving multiple purposes; boundaries in the water, energy food nexus; tools for climate change adaptation in a transboundary context; and lessons learned for transboundary cooperation in climate change adaptation.
The workshop also included a basin exercise, which gave participants the opportunity to discuss within the context of their basins: climate change impacts; elements of a transboundary adaptation strategy; vulnerable sectors; and means to integrate modeling tools, economics, cost-benefit analysis and other approaches into adaptation strategies.
The meeting was held back-to-back with the sixth meeting of the Task Force on Water and Climate under the UNECE Convention on the Protection and Use of Transboundary Watercourses and International Lakes (Water Convention), which took place on 27 June 2013, in Geneva, Switzerland, to address the implementation of climate change adaptation activities under the Water Convention's programme of work for 2013-2015.
The global network of river basins on climate change adaptation was founded at the sixth World Water Forum, held in Marseille, France, in March 2012. The network includes the following basins: the Amur/Argun/International Dauria Protected Aria; the Chu Talas; the Congo; the Danube; the Dniester; the Drin; the Meuse; the Mekong; the Neman; the Niger; the Rhine; the Sava; the Senegal; the Tonle Sap; the Upper Paraguay; and the Northern Sahara aquifer system.

Falkland Islands: Argentina blasts UK's 'double standard' on self determination right
Argentina questioned the UK after its negative vote at the United Nations General Assembly to place French Polynesia back on the UN list of non autonomous territories that should be decolonised Additionally Argentina renewed its claim over the Falkland Islands sovereignty and described the UK attitude, 'colonial hypocrisy'.
The UN General Assembly last week affirmed "the inalienable right of the people of French Polynesia to self-determination and independence." Four countries - the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany and the Netherlands - all disassociated themselves from the consensus vote, and France walked out of the chamber.
Foreign Minister Héctor Timerman in an official release stated Argentina is convinced the UN shall revise the decolonization process. We demand it for Malvinas and all colonial enclaves still existing in the 21st century Timerman stressed.
"The UK once again shows its double standard regarding the peoples' right to self-determination" when voting against the resolution that benefits French Polynesia, when in the case of Malvinas it tries "to force the interpretation" of such right.
"The UK forces the interpretation of the right to self determination in the case of Malvinas but denies it to the peoples of Polynesia and Chagos; Colonial hypocrisy".
"French Polynesia has been inhabited since the year 300 by autochthonous Polynesians and has been prey of different colonial ambitions for centuries. In 1889 France made it a protectorate and in 1946 changed its status to French Overseas Territory", says the release.
While this happened in Polynesia the UK pretends to implement that inalienable right to an implanted British population following a military occupation of the Malvinas Islands with the sole purpose of concealing an anachronistic colonial situation.
The release also recalls that "none of the over forty UN resolutions on the Malvinas question refer to self-determination", but rather are defined as "a special and particular colonial case which involves a sovereignty dispute between Argentina and the UK, and calling on both sides to resume bilateral negotiations".

At midpoint in Messiah, Handel wrote three successive choruses that show not only his gifts as dramatist, but also test any chorus moving through this spacious oratorio. The Philadelphia Singers, in the first of their holiday performances Saturday, found in these sections the basis for some of the best singing of the evening.
David Hayes was leading the chamber choir and Concerto Soloists orchestra in a brisk and well-crafted reading, but when he began the second part, he and his singers moved up a level. They explored a dynamic range far greater than before, colored and shaded phrases in a way that heightened the dramatic message, and moved close to explaining why this music endures.

Montana high school teacher shares her favorite memory and inspirational stories about life at a country school.
Story by Shelly Turk
Joliet, Montana
A favorite memory from my years as a teacher at a country school started simply enough. I had gone home for lunch, and when I started out the front door, a large male moose was lying on the lawn between my car and me.
I'd rather face a bear than take on a moose, so I called the school secretary and asked her to cover my class until I could get there. Here's the beauty of working in a country school: She believed me.
Teaching at a country school in rural Montana for the past 14 years has exposed me to a lifestyle most teachers will never know. I teach my students how to use grammar; they teach me how to rope things, tune snowmobile engines and call in an elk. I teach them how to speak in front of a group; they teach me how and where to find the best fishing holes.
In most schools, sleeping in class is strongly discouraged. When it's late February or early March, however, I turn a blind eye to a few drooping eyelids. I know the kids have been up all night calving or lambing on their farms. We can get caught up later.
The parking lot outside our country school is always lined with pickup trucks and a few four-wheelers. Once a year, however, the seniors ride their horses to school, because there's still a law on the books in Montana that requires schools to feed and water the animals while students are in class.
We average 135 students in our country school. Instead of cliques, we have a big dysfunctional family. There may be disagreements, but everyone comes running when someone needs help.
As an example, an inspirational story I experienced first hand came one spring not too long ago. My husband, Brice, and I were called away during a play rehearsal because a flooding creek threatened our home. Not 15 minutes later, our actors appeared, still in stage makeup, with shovels. They stayed until they were sure our house was safe.
Teaching in a country school gives me an identity and makes me accountable. No one is ignored or anonymous in our school. Teachers and students are a part of one another's lives here. I've danced at their weddings, held their babies, and, sadly, attended some of their funerals. Together we laugh, cry and learn about life. I wouldn't have it any other way.

What to Read Wednesday – THE WARRIOR HEIR by Cinda Williams Chima April 30, 2014Posted by Karin Perry in Check this out!.
Tags: Fantasy, What to Read Wednesday
Jack enjoys his normal life in Trinity, Ohio. He spends time with his best friends, goes to school, and is extremely excited about soccer tryouts. Jack is very healthy, despite the thick scar that resides above his heart and the medicine he has to take everyday. Life is ordinary – until he forgets to take his medicine.
Soccer tryouts are a breeze. Jack has never felt so alive and when his nemesis, Lobeck, gets in his way, Jack slams him into the goal – without touching him. Jack doesn't realize he is Weirlind, part of an underground society of magical people, and when he sent Lobeck flying into the soccer net, the magic he released acted as a signal to others around him.
Jack, destined to be a wizard, but born without his stone, was saved by a leader of the White Rose. The moment Jack's life was saved, his destiny changed. Now, with a warrior stone behind his heart, he is meant to fight for the White Rose in a magical tournament – if he survives until his magic fully manifests.
Jack is one of the last warriors and both the Red and the White houses want him to fight for them. Whichever house wins the fight-to-the-death tournament has the power to control the magical community.
In a world full of wizards, warriors, seers, sorcerers, and enchanters, Jack doesn't know who to trust. Nothing around him is as it seemed.
THE WARRIOR HEIR is the first in a series by Cinda Williams Chima. The story contains many lovable characters, including Jack's two Anaweir (non-magical) best friends. Even though Fitch and Will don't have magical powers, they find a way to be instrumental in Jack's struggle for survival.
THE WARRIOR HEIR is a delightful fantasy. You'll definitely want to read the others in the series, THE WIZARD HEIR, THE DRAGON HEIR, THE ENCHANTER HEIR, and coming soon, THE SORCERER HEIR.

In 2013 San Francisco Giants fans were happy to believe two big myths about Major League Baseball injuries.
First, that a contending baseball team needs to avoid injuries in order to succeed. That's a myth because every team, every season has to deal with player injures. Talented players going on the Disabled List isn't an anomaly, it's a fact of each season and it's why successful MLB teams and franchises are built with significant depth.
The second myth San Francisco fans were happy to gobble down like caramel corn last year was promoted heavily by the Giants' front office and local sports media: that star player Angel Pagan's 2013 injury, limiting him to 71 games, was the main reason for the team's 76-86 third place finish.
This was a myth for two reasons. First, Giant pitching tanked in 2013 (22nd in ERA in the Majors), which exposed both the team's continued lack of offense and their chronically mediocre Major League bench. Second, losing a key player to the DL for an extended period of time is not a valid excuse for poor performance.
It is, in fact, a lame excuse.
After a good run, player injuries have finally found the 2014 San Francisco Giants. And if (or when) the Giants start sliding down the standings, no doubt the whining about injuries will start all over again. Because this is a team built on a foundation of wet cotton candy, and there's nowhere to turn for help.
First baseman Brandon Belt went to the DL with a broken thumb on May 10th and on May 21st both starter Matt Cain and relief pitcher Santiago Casilla incurred hamstring injuries.
But the way Casilla received his injury should absolutely haunt the San Francisco Giants.
In his previous five years as a Giant, Casilla had a total of 4 plate appearances in 252 games, but Manager Bruce Bochy decided to send Casilla to the plate to bat in the 9th inning of a game against the Rockies in which the Giants were leading 5-1.
The TV broadcasters were chuckling as Casilla walked to the plate, and cameras showed players in the dugout laughing it up. Hilarious– a middle reliever taking an at-bat in the 9th inning of a 5-1 game.
After hitting a ground ball, Santiago Casilla suffered a stage 2 hamstring injury running to first base. Almost immediately word was put out that the blame was Casilla's– didn't he know he wasn't supposed to actually swing the bat and run up the line? You know, like all the other baseball players do?
So why was Casilla put in the position of having to swing a bat and run the bases?
It's Manager Bruce Bochy's policy to routinely not replace injured players on the 25 man roster unless they have a serious injury. So with some regularity over the past several years the Giants face opposing teams with 24 or 23, or even 22, players available.
It's a game of chance that Bruce Bochy has often played with very mixed results. In the Colorado game in which Casilla went down, Buster Posey was on the bench because he was getting over back problems after missing two games earlier in the week.
To be clear, MLB teams do not want to routinely bring minor league players up and send them back down every time a regular stubs his toe or needs a couple of games off. That's disruptive at both levels, and often unnecessary.
And it costs the team money. Every time you bring up a farm system player at any point in the season, from that point on they earn the Major League minimum of $500,000. And while few players are called up in April and stay all year, frequent call-up costs can mount up over a full season.
Having said that, any number of Major League teams don't hesitate to call up a minor league replacement even if a player doesn't go on the 15 day disabled list. The problem for the Giants, besides not wanting to spend the money, is they have few minor league players worth calling up.
There's little reason to bring players up from Triple A Fresno if they don't have the talent to play in the big leagues.
The third week of May 2014 has become a critical tipping point for the San Francisco Giants.
This team, picked by few analysts in April to make it into the October 2014 post season, has surpassed expectations. They have an offensive that produces runs and hits home runs; they have one of the best bullpens in baseball; and the starting pitching is maybe one starter away from legitimate contention in the National League West.
As we approach the one third mark of the 2014 season, the questions for the San Francisco Giants and the NL West race are big.
Can the Giants survive any injuries on their 25-man roster? Is the front office capable of stepping up to make the trades and players moves necessary to stay in contention? And will the Los Angeles Dodgers ever wake up and begin their expected rampage through the National League?

x = average(myArray, columns=3:8, rows=2:5)The "traditional" way to do this would resemble:
sum = 0 count = 0 for column = 3 to 8 ...for row = 2 to 5 ......sum = sum + myArray[row, column] ......count = count + 1 ...end for end for average = sum / count(Dots added to prevent TabMunging) An optimizer would know that it could take an array-oriented language version and assign different rows or columns to multiple processors to divide up the workload. With the "traditional" approach, the optimizer may have a harder time because it does not know whether the order of the calculation makes a difference or not without complex analysis. Our "average" function knows this by definition. Typical features found in CollectionOrientedProgramming languages or APIs:
A <- A + A[2,3]In PliLanguage, the equivalent statement would be executed one element at a time, with the rightmost dimension cycling the most rapidly. So the sequence will be A[1,1], A[1,2], ..., A[1,n], A[2,1], A[2,2], ..., and so on. When these additions hit A[2,3], all "later" elements (those following A[2,3]) will have the new (doubled) value added to them, rather than the original one. APL broke new ground (and simplified things considerably) by treating arrays as single objects. -- PaulMorrison
-----Well for a start is this a new concept or a novel and relatively unknown name for an old concept? Also arrays and vectors are homogeneous do you claim that CollectionOrientedProgramming is a generalization of this concept to cells of arbitrary complexity? What does it mean to process implicitly over a tree of trees of type < real , int, string>? How do you handle the case of <int, real, string> ,< real,int, string> < null, null,real> for example? Do you intend to constrain the collection types at all. If so how, if not how do you plan to define correct semantics? Vectors and Arrays answer to the linear algebra -- do you or anyone else have a programing model in mind. I have no issue with implicit looping and lang based on them. Awk is a good thing. And APL does a very good job at being APL. I like functional languages as well, But I do not see how this can be generalized to the extent this comment seems to imply. -ANNON
x <- c(1,2,3)What does x contain?
1 2 3And what do we need to do to multiply each item by 2? (Note: the lack of a for loop)
x <- x * 2What does x contain now?
2 4 6-- Mike Judge This is the part where the Lisper pops in and shows an EssExpression implementation of such... EuphoriaLanguage has similar collection effects:
x = {1,2,3} x = x * 2 -- x is now {2,4,6}and treats strings in the same way:
puts( 1, "LOWERCASE" + 32 ) -- displays the word "lowercase"Operators can be applied to nested hierarchical collections containing a mixed set of scalars and sequences, in which case it could also be seen as implicit recursion/traversal of the hierarchy tree. The list monad (OnMonads) in HaskellLanguage works along similar lines, although it must be explicitly invoked:
f = do x <- [1, 2, 3] return (x * 2) f == [2, 4, 6]In general, this monad is more useful when multiple lists are to be used, in which case the CartesianProduct is produced:
g = do x <- [1, 2, 3] y <- [4, 5, 6] return (x * y) g == [4,5,6,8,10,12,12,15,18]

WASHINGTON - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wrapped up his last day in Washington, D.C., Wednesday, meeting with Defense Secretary Robert Gates to discuss security interests and the threat from Iran to his country.
Netanyahu told Gates he's concerned that a withdrawal from Iraq, along with Iran's nuclear program, would lead to a new threat on Israel from the east.
The prime minister also wants the U.S. to provide security guarantees following peace talks with the Palestinians.
Later Wednesday, Netanyahu met with U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon in New York to discuss Israeli-Palestinian peace talks and the Gaza blockade.
Both meetings come after friendly talks at the White House with President Barack Obama where -- despite reports of previous tension and a possible rift -- the two assured the U.S. and Israel have an "unbreakable" bond and are making progress on major issues in the Middle East.
Netanyahu received a warm welcome at the White House Tuesday. It was a much different tone than the last meeting between the two in March, when photos were prevented and the prime minister used a side door to enter and exit.
"Our relationship has broadened," Obama said.
"I think it's time you and the first lady came to Israel," Netanyahu offered.CBN News Mideast Bureau Chief Chris Mitchell has more reaction to the meeting between President Obama and Prime Minister Netanyahu. Click play for his comments, following Erick Stakelbeck's report.Also, click here for additional analysis from CBN News Sr. Editor John Waage. The leaders went out their way to tout their relationship, both saying reports of tension between the U.S. and Israel were overplayed.
"The reports about the demise of the special U.S.-Israel relationship aren't just premature, they're just flat wrong," Netanyahu told reporters. "There's a depth in this relationship that we express everyday."
"Our commitment to Israel's security has been unwavering," Obama added.
Yet, behind the positive tone, difficult issues remain. On peace talks, both agree Israelis and Palestinians should move toward face-to-face negotiations.
"We're committed to that peace. I'm committed to that peace," Netanyahu said. "This peace would change the lives of Israelis, Palestinians, and certainly would change our region."
Still, the U.S. is pressuring Netanyahu to extend the 10-month freeze on West Bank construction to get the Palestinians to the table. Arab states are also being pressured.
"I think it's very important that the Palestinians not look for excuses for incitement," Obama said. "That they are not engaging in provocative language (and) that, at the international level, they are maintaining a constructive tone."
Obama hailed "real progress" on Israel's decision to allow more goods to flow into Gaza. And on Iran -- a key issue for Israel -- Netanyahu praised new U.S. sanctions signed by Obama last week, hoping more nations will follow suit.
"I think the sanctions the president signed the other day actually have teeth, they bite," Netanyahu said. "The question is how much do you need to bite?"
The two leaders said they also discussed steps that can be taken to move the peace process along as soon as possible and are optimistic progress will be made.

BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) — BocaNewsNow.com received an email Monday night from a Boca Raton resident who, quite simply, needs help. It is authentic.
We are passing the email along to our readers. If you are interested in helping — or have a reaction to the plea — post a comment below, or email our news desk, and we will put you in touch with the family.
This letter is an attempt to find help for my son and me. We are in a desperate situation and I don't know what to do. I'm faced with multiple problems that are intertwined and I'm unable to resolve them.
My current situation is as follows:
My son, who is 15, stole most of our household electronics and $600 from my bank account. He used the money to buy drugs. Since this wasn't the first time he has done something like this, I had to have him arrested.
He has recently entered a drug rehabilitation facility, none of which is covered by my insurance. I'm making arrangements to pay out of pocket to the facility.
According to the DCF, my son should not have contact with his mother or brother, due to their abuse of drugs. Their solution is for me to file a change to my divorce to take sole custody of him. I researched this and the legal fees would run around $8,000. Again, a sum I would be unable to pay.
I've had a problem with the IRS, to the tune of $100,000 in taxes and penalties. The legal firm I hired to help resolve this has come to an agreement with the IRS. It requires me to pay $250.00 per month for a year, then $750.00 for 2 months, then $1,800 a month until the debt is paid off. Before the law firm will complete the arrangement, they are requiring me to pay $3,500.00 in fees. Without payment, they will not complete the agreement and let the IRS go after me.
My son's doctor and therapist feel he is in need of what's call a long term mental health facility to correct his issues. Again, there are no health insurance benefits to cover this type of treatment. Therefore, it would be up to me to cover the costs, which are upwards of $10,000 per month.
I worked 1 full time and 3 part-time positions to cover my expenses for the two of us. Last year one of those positions terminated with the illness of the owner and I've lost a good 20% of my income.
Two years ago, my son overdosed and almost passed away. At that time I had to get him away from our neighborhood and in the process lost my home.
Prior to my divorce, my ex-wife was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. In the process of one month she maxed all of our credit cards, to the tune of $30,000. These I attempted to pay off over the last decade. Some I was able to, others I had to stop paying. Some of the interest rates were as high as 29% and unmanageable.
If I could file for bankruptcy I would, but I can't afford the legal fees and it would not relieve me of my IRS debt. If I could move to a less expensive apartment, I would and tried. With my current credit rating, the deposits and security payments prevent me from moving. I have no savings, or other bank accounts. I only have my checking account. I have no credit cards or other credit accounts.
I make about $70,000 per year, take home. With car, gas, food, housing, utilities, etc. I don't have much left over at the end of each month. I don't take vacations, own property or a boat, my health is not good and everything keeps going up, but my income.
I find myself living paycheck to paycheck and as described above, any additional outlay will sink me.
I've come to the end of my wits trying to figure a way out of this and continue to come up with a dead end. That's the reason I'm asking for help. Anything to abate this onslaught would be helpful. Please, if there is anything you can do or think of, I would appreciate hearing from you as soon as possible.
Both my son and I thank you for reading this.

Artistic Perspectives on Process: Part I with Marcy James
Listening to artists talk about their process and craft can be invaluable. Their insight into their own work can can help you generate ideas, help you see the patterns that you've developed and either strengthen them or help you change them. Perhaps, above all else, listening to successful artists is incredibly inspiring.
Marcy's presentation was based on her Butte projects. She moved to Butte for over a decade to eat, sleep, breathe and most importantly, photograph. As she explained in her talk, Butte was changing and it was only a matter of time before the buildings and giant relics of a past life no longer held the stories she felt compelled to learn about, photograph and share.
Marcy was kind enough to let us film this lecture. We've broken the 2-hour talk into smaller section that we will post on the blog throughout the week. Enjoy!

Skip to comments.Seven Million Pounds of Pink Slime Beef Destined for National School Lunch Program
Posted on 03/09/2012 9:01:40 AM PST by AtlasStalled
McDonald's and Taco Bell have banned it, but now the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is buying 7 million pounds of beef containing ammonium hydroxide-treated ground connective tissue and meat scraps and serving it up to America's school kids. If you thought cafeteria food was gross before....
(Excerpt) Read more at shine.yahoo.com ...
Bush's fault.
You know, you CAN post a few paragraphs. Sheesh.
Mmmm Mmm Nummy!
We cant have your kids eating Turkey lettuce and tomato sangwiches slathered with mayo. A side of chips and an apple when we have all this pink slime to benefit our health!
Think Obama serves the pink slime to his Hollywood friends when they eat dinner at the White House?
I'm the Slime - Frank Zappa
I am gross and perverted
I'm obsessed 'n deranged
I have existed for years
But very little has changed
I'm the tool of the Government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you
I may be vile and pernicious
But you can't look away
I make you think I'm delicious
With the stuff that I say
I'm the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
I'm the slime oozin' out
From your TV set
You will obey me while I lead you
And eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we don't need you
Don't go for help . . . no one will heed you
Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold
That's right, folks . . .
Don't touch that dial
Well, I am the slime from your video
Oozin' along on your livin' room floor
I am the slime from your video
Can't stop the slime, people, lookit me go
I am the slime from your video
Oozin' along on your livin' room floor
I am the slime from your video
Can't stop the slime, people, lookit me go
Marie Antoinette said let the peasants eat cake, and Michelle Obama says let the children eat pink slime!
I'm so glad my kids aren't in school anymore. Yuk!
Since when did Moochelle Datsoinbutte become a nutrition expert?
Solyent Pink
looks like foam insulation
Pink Slime = PBS
Kid friendly version.
Anyone but me notice that the more the federal government takes over the school lunches, the worse they get?
The pink slime does not have to appear on the label because, over objections of its own scientists, USDA officials with links to the beef industry labeled it meat.
The under secretary said, its pink, therefore its meat, Custer told ABC News.
ABC News has learned the woman who made the decision to OK the mix is a former undersecretary of agriculture, Joann Smith. It was a call that led to hundred of millions of dollars for Beef Products Inc., the makers of pink slime.
When Smith stepped down from the USDA in 1993, BPIs principal major supplier appointed her to its board of directors, where she made at least $1.2 million over 17 years.
I betcha' Stimulus Funds have paid for this stuff in the past and maybe now
Stimulating Ooze :)
Joann Smith, the USDA bureaucrat who approved use of Pink Slime, and later joined the board of directors of the maker of Pink Slime, served under Bush I. So it really IS Bush's fault. The Leftist media is loudly noting this fact.
I can't remember the name, but looking back, it was probably a would-be competitive offering against Jell-O. (Camps were probably targeted with great deals in order to hit the palettes of kids, hoping to create the demand that way...)
I remember the green (Lime), but I'm pretty sure it came in pink (Strawberry) as well.
As such, the look of it prompted much jocularity at the end of dinner.
End sarcasm.
The government OKs feeding this "crap" to school kids, but let Mom make them a healthy lunch at home and send it with their kid to school and government inspectors will confiscate it make the kids eat this. The quickest way to end the practice of adding pink slime to food ...have some imam declare it to be haraam and unfit for consumption by Muslims. Given our political correct society pink slime would be instantly banned least it offend some Muslim.
When I was in school during the Carter Administration he pulled some sort of bailout of the turkey farmers, and we had processed, reconstituted, breaded deep-fried turkey patties for school lunch 3 days out of 5 for a year an a half.
In every conceivable way, Obama is Carter 2.0
Wasn't it Jefferson who said "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need?" Oh Wait, that was MARX not Jefferson. Isn't it a great country where anyone can spawn out a kid and force someone else to pay for it?
Where's Meryl Streep...
"What are we doing to our CHILDREN!?!?!?!"
Zappa was one strange dude...yet, at times, he was a prescient genius.
And if you make a turkey sandwich with some chips and an apple and send little Johnnie off to school will some govt. son of a bitch take it away from little Johnnie and force him to eat this crap?
Then charge you kids account for the school lunch??
Get a ball bat and take it to some ones ass on this one if they did.
"Solyent Pink is Sheeple!!!!"
That is funny right thar I tell ya!
I am using that as my tag line. You can have my "The Left are all Fluked Up".
Well, the left is fluked up, dontcha know?
My dog eats better than this and I am dead serious.
Here is an article that states how one can avoid this slime yet still eat beef.
(And obviously one can avoid beef altogether) I hope ground turkey doesn't have this in it.
1. There is NO SUCH THING as "pink slime." What there is, is lean beef recovered from fat trimmings by a process of heating and separating in a centrifuge. Jamie Oliver's "demonstration" was a travesty. If you take ground beef, mix it with household cleaner grade ammonia and spin it in a dryer, you WILL get "pink slime," but this is NOT the process used by industry. Mr Oliver may be a decent chef, but he knows nothing about food processing or food safety!
2. The treatment with a few puffs of ammonia gas is just enough to temporarily raise the pH (alkalinity) about 1-1/2 points above its natural pH. Why is this done? Because it KILLS E. Coli bacteria! Do you think ABC will be willing to accept the responsibility for the deaths that will result from the next outbreak of E. Coli contamination?
3. The product of this process, which has been used for years, is lean beef, which is why the USDA doesn't require its being labeled as an "ingredient." To make up for the amount of beef that is recovered by this process from the fat trimmed off steaks, roasts, etc., would require the slaughter of an additional 1.5 million head of cattle. Does anyone think this is a good idea?

The Gosselin's Newest Scandal: Animal AbuseSunny Chanel
What a month it's been for the Jon and Kate Plus Eight clan. Allegations of infidelity, accusations of breaking child labor laws, and now there are people concerned that the family abuses animals. A marriage on the line, minors being exploited' and now even the family dog is getting the fuzzy end of the lollipop.
The family has two German Shepherds named Shoka and Nala. In Jon Gosselin's People Magazine cover story he talked about the dogs saying, "Those kids beat them up, climb on them, pull their tails, bite at them, drag them around and everything you can imagine not to do to an animal, they've done."
Animal lovers in Pennsylvania got hot under their collars and made several complaints to the Humane Society in the county the Gosselin's live in. Then came out the damage control. Jon released a statement saying:
"I'd like to set the record straight. We understand the responsibilities of being good dog owners. Whenever my kids are with Shoka and Nala, everyone is carefully supervised to ensure that no one dog or child is injured. Shoka and Nala are loyal companions who we consider members of our family. We would never do anything to hurt them, and treat them with the respect and love that they deserve."
The Human Society has said that, "We have no credible reason to believe in any way that that there is cruelty going on." Probably chalking it up to be just the reality of every day life of eight rambunctious kids with dogs. A dogs life that does not sound that fun to me.
Do you have a pet your child has inflicted what could be considered abuse upon?

Before It Was Coined AJAX It Was Called "JavaScript RPC"
Dmitri Khanine and Phil Carrillo report for MSDN in "Life Without Refresh" the following weak-ass attempt to respond to media buzzwords created by competitors and divested third parties:
JavaScript RPC technique has been available to the Web scripting community since the introduction of Internet Explorer 3.0 in 1996 (see http://www.microsoft.com/windows/WinHistoryIE.mspx). In essence, the technique allows a Web page to avoid reloading and interrupting user activity when it needs to do a trip to the server for a server-side validation, dynamic lookup, or similar action.
domFunction Solves the
window.onload Problem
From brothercake.com: "
domFunction is an easy-to-use helper script, that allows other DOM scripting to run before
window.onload; the practical benefit is that javascript doesn't have to wait for images or other dependencies to finish loading anymore—it can begin as soon as the DOM is ready."
I still fail to see why writing this is so, so impossible:
<body onload="jsDomEvent(event)"></body>
When you need to write at least one line of markup for a
script element, what is so inconvenient about "hard coding" an
onload event handler? However, "The window.onload Problem—Solved!" still rejoices.
PHP 5 in Depth
I really had serious problems trying to get SimpleXML to work on SonghaySystem.com. PHP 5 is still an array-based, function-based, object-oriented platform that this not built in Unicode from the ground up. So these articles helped: "XML in PHP 5—What's New?" by Christian Stocker and "SimpleXML" by Sterling Hughes.
Now that all of the Amazon.com advertising is based on PHP REST calls, the next move is make "RESTafarian" AJAX clients.
CSS3 Text Alignment and Justification
So, for casual reading, I recommend 'Harry Potter and the CSS3 Text Module'—the part about
text-justify was supposed to help me. I still have no firm grip on
auto | inter-word | inter-ideograph | distribute | newspaper | inter-cluster | kashida.
AJAX Hits a Wall in the World of Physics
When I first began to Blog about AJAX in July of 2005, I could have been thinking of "Flash Animations for Physics." The AJAX devotee would have to work mighty hard to supplant Flash from my first choice for this kind of work.

• The hopes for liver transplantation have been increased by experience with the new immunosuppresive drug cyclosporin A. Optimal therapy with cyclosporin A has required steroid therapy, but the amounts of prednisone used have been a small fraction of those used in the past.

WB film takes on 'Iron Man,' 'Vegas,' 'Honor'
Warner Bros. tentpole "Speed Racer" gets the green light this weekend but may very well finish behind the second week of "Iron Man."
Wachowski Brothers-helmed "Speed Racer," which bows at 3,606 screens, has been tracking primarily with kids and families. Awareness has been on the rise, but Warner Bros. is aiming for a relatively modest gross in the low 30s.
That should put it behind "Iron Man," which after its boffo $98.6 million bow — $102 million including Thursday-night shows — could take a sizable 50%-plus drop and still gross in the 40s in its second frame. As of Wednesday, Marvel and Paramount's superhero pic had grossed $121.3 million.
The "Iron Man"-"Speed Racer" faceoff will also play out overseas. "Iron Man" heads into its second foreign frame with more than $120 million banked, while Warner goes day-and-date with "Speed Racer" in about half the international markets.
Fox, meanwhile, is counterprogramming with "What Happens in Vegas." Cameron Diaz-Ashton Kutcher starrer opens at 3,215 theaters and is looking to appeal mainly to women and young auds in the mood for a comedy. A perf along the lines of last weekend's "Made of Honor," which opened to $14.7 million, appears likely.
While WB was probably hoping to come into the weekend with bigger expectations for its $100 million-plus adaptation of the classic cartoon, the studio still expects "Speed Racer" to be a solid performer when foreign grosses, licensing and DVDs come together.
"We've had a nice bump in the tracking, so we've got momentum going into the weekend," noted WB domestic distribution topper Dan Fellman. "We're also going to have a very strong ancillary component on the film."
Pic's two-hour-plus running time, somewhat long for a family film, could prove a bit of a drag on the gross.
Also going wide domestically this weekend is David Mamet's actioner "Redbelt," which Sony Pictures Classics is expanding to 1,379 playdates.
In limited release, Paramount Vantage is expanding "Son of Rambow" from five to 36 locations.
Roadside Attractions bows British import "Before the Rains" and fantasy pic "The Fall" at nine theaters each in Gotham and L.A.
ThinkFilm opens vigilante pic "Noise," starring Tim Robbins, at two playdates in New York, and Ellen Page starrer "The Tracey Fragments" at a single location.
On the foreign front, "Iron Man" is likely to lead via solid holdover biz — possibly hitting $50 million — following its $98 million international launch last weekend. Pic's in every major market except Japan and China, with the U.K. leading the way with $16 million as of Wednesday.
"Speed Racer" is driving into 5,400 locations in 30 markets, including such key foreign territories as Germany, Italy, South Korea, Spain and the U.K. Rival execs expect the family-friendly project to open in the same range as the domestic launch and then rack up significantly better numbers internationally as it goes deeper into its run.
Recent family-oriented fare, ranging from "The Golden Compass" to "Horton Hears a Who!," has generated respectable numbers out of the foreign markets. The remaining markets, including France, Japan, Belgium, Scandinavia and Australia, will be rolling out over the next two months.
Fox is also going the counterprogramming route in offshore multiplexes with "What Happens in Vegas," launching the pic day-and-date in three dozen markets and 4,000 locations. "Vegas" is headed into all of Europe and most of the Asia/Pacific region except India, Japan and South Korea.
Romantic comedies tend to generate respectable rather than blockbuster totals overseas. "Knocked Up," for example, scored $70 million outside the U.S.
Hot weather across northern Europe may depress moviegoing somewhat in those markets. Other launches include "The Bucket List" in Japan, "Drillbit Taylor" in France and "Stop-Loss" in France and Spain.
