Aquilante Is Unlikely GT-2 Winner
ELKHART LAKE, Wis. — In a three-week span, Andrew Aquilante went from barely having a car to drive to winning the 50th SCCA National Championship Runoffs at Road America. Trent Hindman finished second.
Aquilante dominated the GT2 class race at the 4.048-mile, 14-turn Road America track on Friday, leading all 13 laps to earn his second career SCCA National Championship Runoffs victory. He drove the No. 36 PhoenixPerformance/Hoosier Hawk Chevrolet Corvette.
Starting from the SafeRacer pole position, Aquilante briefly lost the lead in turn one on the opening lap, slipping to third behind Hindman and Joe Koenig. But, attentive to ever-changing track conditions, he jumped back to the front moments later. He grabbed second from Hindman by turn three and the lead from Koenig in turn five. From there, Aquilante set sail to a lead of nearly seven seconds before the only full course caution midway through the race.
On the lap-12 restart, Aquilante said he "wanted to get into turn one like there was no tomorrow, because I knew I had to clear them. Once their tires were going to come up to temperature it was going to be quite a fight."
But that fight didn't happen. Aquilante brought the pack to the green flag slowly before jumping to a five-car length lead over Hindman by turn one. By the checkered flag, Aquilante had extended his lead to 4.370 seconds over Hindman. Aquilante also earned the Go-Pro Move of the Race and set the fastest race lap of 2:16.717.
"We thought that we had the past champion provisional, so we figured we'd run GT2," said Aquilante, who earned his first Runoffs win in 2007 in the T1 class Heartland Park in Topeka, Kan. "Really, coming into this, I didn't know what to expect. But we figured we'd be pretty competitive.
"After qualifying on the first day, only a tenth of a second separating me and Trent, I knew it was going to be a dogfight," Aquilante continued. "With the rain this morning, it made me really nervous until the track started drying out. Again, with our last minute sort of thing, we have experience with the Hoosier A6 tire, which we've run in touring classes. You're allowed slicks in GT2. We chose not to switch to those, and in the scheme of things, it worked, because on a half-dry, half-wet track, which we've experienced before here, the A6 comes up to temperature.
"Hats off to Hoosier on the A6; it's just an awesome tire," Aquilante concluded. "And it's a good feeling to put Phoenix Performance up top in quite a short matter. It was a three-week conversion build, and it feels good to be able to do something like that."

As Congress and the White House look into what caused the devastating oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, new polls show most Americans still support more drilling for oil off America's coasts.
In an NBC-Wall Street Journal poll, 60 percent said they support more drilling for oil of the U.S. Coast while 34 percent oppose it.
And in an Associated Press poll, 50 percent of people surveyed support more drilling at home but 38 percent oppose it.
Click play for more on the offshore drilling debate with Laura Henderson of the Institute for Energy Research, following Jennifer Wishon's report.
But no matter what the future holds for oil production in the U.S., Gulf Coast residents are in for a long recovery.
At the request of Congress and the White House, British Petroleum released video of the leak that for the first time shows the public images of the toxic mix of oil and natural gas gushing from a broken pipe nearly a mile below the ocean's surface.
More than four million barrels have escaped and thick tar balls continue to wash ashore.
As a deep sea charter boat captain, Eddie Burger can get past fishing bans and keep working, but he has been having a hard time getting his clients to bite.
"The problem now is with all the news reports out there nobody else is calling because they don't think you can go fishing," Burger said.
Docked boats now crowd marinas along the coast as fishermen wait to see what the future holds.
"Their livelihood really depends on what happens in the month May, June and July and so if the estuaries are contaminated, the slick becomes a larger issue and a lot of people in south Louisiana are going to lose their livelihood," said fisherman Michael Vales.
"I have three boats, it's a lot of investment, they're worthless right now," said fisherman Vlaho Mjehovich.
"It never seems to end, it's one thing after another," said fisherman Lanny Lafrance. "All I can do is go home and pray that something good is going to happen.
Even charitable organizations are at a loss. Since the disaster is manmade, much of the relief effort depends on BP.
"This is something that's really not happened before and so we're in the process of working with BP on how to best provide services for the fishermen," said Colleen Bosley, disaster coordinator for Catholic Charities. "We don't have any secure plans at this point."
BP said it will pay any legitimate claims of damages caused by the spill, even though such payments are supposed to be limited by a federal cap of $75 million.
Meanwhile, hearings on Capitol Hill reveal a devastating sequence of equipment failures lead to the blowout.
Despite all of the problems from this spill, though, the public seems to believe "accidents will happen" -- but offshore drilling is still worthwhile.

STRASBURG, Va. - In a disturbing echo of the shooting at a Connecticut elementary school last week, a 33-year-old Strasburg man was arrested at Sandy Hook Elementary School Wednesday after entering the building with what authorities said was a 2x4 board bearing the words "high-powered rifle."
Authorities were holding Christopher Gerrit Johnson, of 333 Junction Road, at the Shenandoah County Jail Wednesday as they continued their investigation into the incident.
Maj. Scott Proctor of Shenandoah County Sheriff's Office said no one was injured and no weapons were found on Johnson. Johnson is charged with disorderly conduct and is being held without bond, Proctor said.

A Shenandoah County Sheriff's Office cruiser is parked outside Sandy Hook Elementary School in Strasburg, Va., on Wednesday.
"We don't know his intentions, but it did seem to be related to bringing awareness to school safety," Proctor said. "That's going to be confirmed through the course of the investigation."
Authorities said school staff confronted the suspect, and a school resource officer detained him before other law enforcement officials arrived. Proctor warned anyone entering a school to avoid behavior that, intentionally or unintentionally, could alarm students and educators.
"No one should enter school property and cause disruption or fear or display any kind of behavior that could be interpreted as threatening," Proctor said.
Sandy Hook Elementary School bears the same name as the school in Newtown, Conn., where 26 students and educators died Friday in a mass shooting.
B. Keith Rowland, Shenandoah County Public Schools superintendent, said Johnson entered the building through an unlocked front door and went straight to the front office, where a receptionist was the first person to encounter him.
"The great news is that no students interacted with this guy," Rowland said.
He said Principal Melissa L. Foltz "immediately got him into her office and closed the door."
Rowland said Foltz "had a conversation with Johnson" but declined to comment on the details of their conversation.
Rowland said the school remained open throughout the day.
"No announcements were made in school as to what was going on or what happened," Rowland said, adding that administrators saw "no need to upset people."
Rowland said all doors at the school are locked during the school day, except the front door through which Johnson entered.
"I don't think you can go to any school in this area and not find the front door unlocked," Rowland said.
Rowland said unlocked doors are one of many safety issues that he expects to be discussed in the aftermath of the incident. He said plans are forming to reconvene the school system's safety committee and meet with parents on the subject of school security.
Foltz sent a brief letter home with students at the end of the school day to inform their families of the incident.
The letter reads in part: "We had a citizen who became disorderly. We contacted local law enforcement for assistance. The citizen was arrested and charges were made. This citizen was contained in the main office at all times."
The incident came two days after extra police were assigned to Shenandoah County public schools in response to the Newtown massacre. Rowland said Monday the extra officers would be in place for this week as a way of assuring parents and students about the safety of the schools.
Proctor said Sandy Hook normally shares a school resource officer with Signal Knob Middle School, a short distance down the road.

A San Diego man, a citizen of Somali descent, is stuck in Bahrain indefinitely. I can only imagine how terrible it must feel to not be allowed to come home, not go back to work, stuck in a foreign country, running short on cash, with little recourse. Talk about feeling like a Man Without a Country.
Ali Ahmed is 20 years old. He came to the U.S. via Kenya with his parents to flee civil war when he was seven years old. He has only left the U.S. once in the 13 years he has been here. And now he can't come home.
His name has shown up on the No-Fly list. Of course, that list is shrouded in secrecy. You don't know if you're on it, you don't know if you've been taken off it, you don't know why you were put on it if you were, and it takes months at best to sort it all out. You won't even know if you've been taken off: you must simply show up at an airport and try to fly.
The No-Fly list is maintained not by the TSA, but by the Terrorist Screening Center, which is under the aegis of the FBI. The TSC maintains the list; the TSA "administers" it.
Where is the due process in any of this? Where can Ali go to clear his name? He can't very well appear in a domestic court; he can't even get there.
He's not the only one, of course. In May, an appellate court agreed to hear the cases of 15 men in similar circumstances.
The court simply agreed to hear the case. Which leaves Mr. Ahmed little recourse but to publicize his case and ask for intercession from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. All while running out of money, far away from home.
Due process? Protection under the law? Non-existent. If this man is guilty of something, arrest him, have him escorted home, and let him fight the charges.
Stranding citizens in foreign countries is not anything we should allow to happen. In any case. Ever.

Whether it was another trial by combat or one more exit through the Moon Door, this week's Game of Thrones was all about recontextualizing classic moments from earlier seasons of the show.
Major spoilers below. Proceed at your own risk!
King's LandingThe backstabby world of King's Landing gets a little more frontstabby with the arrival of Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane, who you may remember from that time he memorably re-enacted his favorite scene from The Godfather in season one. He's in town to serve as Cersei's champion in Tyrion's trial by combat, an event he practices for by impaling several frightened civilians, just to prove his bona fides. The Mountain's legend is ever larger than his pecs; both Jaime and Bronn shy away from facing him, the latter, demurral Tyrion has a hard time not taking as a personal insult.
"You're my friend," he pleads. "Aye, I'm your friend," Bronn replies. "When have you ever risked your life for me?"
The sellsword has a point, but that's hardly comforting logic when you're on death row. Still, it's hard not to tear up as these two say their final farewells: Bronn to continue his murderous journey from traveling swordsman to lord of the manor, Tyrion to hope he can find someone bold and crazy enough to take on Clegane.
Bold and crazy, you say? That's practically Oberyn Martell's motto. It's really deft plotting that gets him to volunteer his services as Tyrion's champion. We've been reminded all season that Oberyn is driven by vengeance; now the opportunity's fallen into his lap. Will a charming rogue save Tyrion's skin yet again? Judging from the preview, we'll find out next week.

MeereenIs a callback still a callback if the actor's been replaced? Remember last season, when Old Daario snuck into Daenerys's tent, a bold move she answered with the most dignified of flashings? This week, New Daario tried the trick again, climbing into Dany's room in the middle of the night. After a season of playfully rebuffing his advances, this week she's finally into it. She commands him to disrobe, and while we don't get to see Daario put his money where his mouth is (or vice versa), she seems to like what he's working with.
Especially in Meereen, though, there's got to be a morning after. Daario gets sent away to re-conquer Yunkaii, with the instruction to kill every slaver there. Jorah pleads for her to be merciful and Dany, perhaps feeling guilty of Jorah witnessing Daario's walk of shamelessness, lets him have this one.
Helen Sloan / HBO
The RiverlandsOur two pairs of mismatched wanderers both meet a blast from the past this week. For Brienne and Podrick, it's the welcome return of Hot Pie, the rotund baking enthusiast we know through his travels through the wilderness with Arya. He works at an inn now and expounds at length upon the prier way to make kidney pie. More helpfully, he also lets Brienne know that Arya's alive. Could she be heading towards the Vale? Only one way to find out.
OK, two ways, but Brienne unfortunately doesn't have an HBO subscription. We catch up with Arya and the Hound to confirm that they are still headed toward's Lysa's castle, but they're interrupted by the rude reappearance of Rorge and Biter, two nasty characters from season two. They dispatch the pair with ease, but Sandor takes a wound; his hatred of fire means he won't let Arya burn it before it gets infected. He repeats the story of how the Mountain burned his face, and the unpleasant memories make him realize he needs all the friends he can get. He lets Arya wash and sew the wound, and just like that, they're bonding again. And just a few episodes after they looked like they were about to kill each other! Westeros is a weird place.
DragonstoneSpeaking of weird places, we're back at Dragonstone, where Melisandre and Selyse are waiting for Stannis to get back from the bank. We learn that Selyse doesn't like jokes, Mel isn't about using trickery to boost the image of the Lord of Light and that Melisandre might want to burn Shireen. This could be a callback to last season's Gendry plot line, except that Melisandre pretty much always wants to burn things.
Helen Sloan / HBO
The WallRemember season one, when everyone was a jerk to Jon Snow all the time? The commanders of the Night's Watch do, and they're going to keep being jerks, even if doesn't make very much narrative sense. Here he returns to Castle Black after leading a very successful mission, and proceeds to catch a bunch of flak from his bosses for offering a mild bit of tactical advice. Why are they being so dickish about an attack that everyone knows is coming?
The ValeThe Stark words are "Winter is coming," and Sansa's arrival in the Eyrie is greeted by a beautiful fresh snowfall. She builds a miniature Winterfell in the snow, but Robin kicks it down after discovering the real version didn't have a Moon Door. (The kid freaking loves Moon Doors.) If that wasn't bad enough, Littlefinger shows up, trying to rebrand his murder of Joffrey as a final act of love for her mother. "In a perfect world," he tells her, "you might have been my child." Luckily that's not true, as that would make what happens next ever creepier: He kisses her, in full view of Lysa.

text: After first revealing a special Oklahoma City Thunder edition of the new Air Jordan XX9, we get a further look at a more minimalist edition of the shoe. Featuring a similar Flightweave upper, the shoe retains the same icy outsole but opts for an all-white look accented only by the large sky blue Jumpman and Jordan's old number 23. While the shoe might be markedly different on the outside, look at the insole and you'll see the blue and white elephant print from the upper of the other pair. Stay tuned for more updates on the release of this new XX9.

Lee Winfrey, 70, former television critic for The Inquirer and a veteran reporter who covered Castro in Cuba, Washington politics, and West Virginia coal-mine disasters during his 44-year career in journalism, died of arteriosclerosis and diabetes Monday at his apartment in Center City.
In February 1974, Mr. Winfrey wrote his first television column for The Inquirer. For the next 27 years, he reviewed programs and gave readers an understanding of what he considered the art of television.
"He took television seriously. He was one of the preeminent experts," said Inquirer television critic Jonathan Storm. "He wouldn't make cheap jokes about it. He felt people who did that didn't understand its importance."

Has anyone seen this flick? I liked it better than the first one. Samantha the oldest of the four "girls" is the only one actually having sex & she is in her 50's! You really have to like Sarah Jessica Parker who is in almost every scene. She is 45 & still hasn't grown up yet.

You couldn't drag me to that with four strong men, a logging
chain and a grappling hook buried deep within my flesh.
But then again, my wife did drag me to see Letters to Juliette. I had to check my penis in at the door. God I hated that flick. What a predictable sappy sap dripping sapfest that was. ::Sigh:: The crap you gotta do to keep a wife happy... But it all works out: She doesn't begrudge me my motorcycle and I have to put up with a gawdawful chick flick every five years. Still, after watching Letters to Julliete, I have to wonder if the motorcycle was worth the sacrifice.

So you DO have a sensitive side!
The real reason you won't be seeing Sex and The City is you don't want to be caught drooling over Ole Foot Face

Oh Missy-B...
I'll have the sex, and we'll let someone else go 2 the city.

Well I didn't see the 1st one...
...so the chances of me seeing the 2nd one are slim. Not because I wouldn't understand what was going on. I see this film advertised everywhere as the local bus company is now wrapping the vehicles in advertisements and a good lot of em have the sex in the city ad.
Anyway, I was curious about the first one, but I've been curious about a lot of films and haven't bothered to see them. The show SITC is hit or miss. Sometimes it's funny, and sometimes it's not. And the girls have a thing about absolutely having to emmediatly sleep with every guy they meet. Whatever happened to waiting? Will people think this is the norm if they watch it enough?
Oh well, can't say I waited, but if a girl wants to wait, it wouldn't be a problem for me.
Say, there's an ad below that appears to be a video game for sex and the city. But the disclaimer leads me to believe otherwise. What kind of girl would play a game like that?

LONDON - Michael Phelps won the debate without saying a word.
He won his 20th Olympic medal - say that again: 20th Olympic medal - in Phelpsian fashion Thursday night. He dominated the 200-meter individual medley from start to finish, seizing the gold medal that rival Ryan Lochte had reserved for himself.
So Carl Lewis and Sebastian Coe are free to weigh in with the opinion that Phelps is not the greatest Olympian of all time. And countless others are welcome to endorse Phelps for that very title.
What Phelps did was underscore, once again, that the argument means nothing. It is hard enough to compare eras in any sport - Babe Ruth or Barry Bonds, Michael Jordan or Wilt Chamberlain. In this case, you are comparing both different eras and thoroughly incompatible sports.

IEA Releases World Energy Outlook 2009 Excerpt for Climate Negotiations
6 October 2009: At the behest of climate negotiators and policy makers involved in the UNFCCC negotiations leading up to the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference in December 2009, the International Energy Agency (IEA) has published an excerpt from its annual World Energy Outlook (WEO) in advance this year, to ensure that negotiators are equipped with up-to-date knowledge about the global energy sector.
The "World Energy Outlook 2009 Climate Change Excerpt," analyzes what policy measures will be necessary, sector by sector, to move key countries and regions (including the United States, Japan, the European Union, Russia, China and India) onto a 450ppm trajectory. The report incorporates the significant impact that the financial and economic crises have had on global energy and focuses especially on policies and investments needed up to 2020, corresponding to the timeframe negotiators are dealing with in Copenhagen in December 2009.
The report also includes current energy use and emissions statistics in its newly updated Reference Scenario section. WEO 2009 will be released in its entirety on 10 November 2009, containing more analysis than is included in the excerpt. [The report]

Idea of the Day: Congress Should Think Twice Before Raising the Medicare Eligibility Age
In every deficit-reduction debate, policymakers look at the Medicare program to see where savings can be found, and the latest fiscal showdown negotiations are no different. There are opportunities to strengthen Medicare while achieving program savings—indeed, the Center for American Progress has put forward $385 billion in savings that would bolster the program without harming seniors. Nevertheless, too many proposals to lower Medicare costs simply shift those costs to seniors, businesses, and states. One such proposal is raising the eligibility age for Medicare from 65 to 67 years old.
Raising the eligibility age would harm seniors even if every state fully implements the Affordable Care Act's Medicaid expansion. But the proposal poses an even greater threat to low-income seniors now that the Supreme Court's decision upholding the law rendered the Medicaid expansion optional for states. As we explain below, tens of thousands of low-income 65- and 66-year-olds, who would be cut off from Medicare—particularly the most vulnerable seniors living below the federal poverty level—will have nowhere to turn for coverage if their states reject the Medicaid expansion.
- Raising the Medicare Eligibility Age Would Harm Seniors and Increase Health Care Spending by Maura Calsyn and Lindsay Rosenthal

Local high school football players opened their mouths and expanded their stomachs for a shot at earning cash for their teams.
The fundraiser, known as the "Burrito Bowl," involved all six Foothill League football teams assembling five-member teams to tackle 4-foot-long burritos.
Golden Valley High School devoured its burrito first, securing a first-place prize of $1,000 for its football program. West Ranch High School came in second, earning $400 for its team, followed by a tie for third place between Saugus and Hart for $250 each, and a fourth-place tie between Valencia and Canyon for $250 each.
The July 7 event was sponsored by the SCV Concierge and La Salsa Fresh Mexican Grill, which provided the burritos and the venue in Stevenson Ranch. Each team was also individually sponsored by local businesses.
"I feel that it brought a camaraderie throughout the entire Santa Clarita Valley. All these kids know each other from different sports, but they never get the chance to come together to be a big family," said Tabitha Guzman, West Ranch High School football booster club president. "It was an opportunity for everyone to be a big family without it being a competitive environment."

Several representatives from Second Harvest Food Bank Santa Cruz County were in Sacramento for the California Association of Food Banks (CAFB) events the week of April 22nd.
Second Harvest volunteer Bob Cadwalader attended CAFB Legislation Day along with Joel Campos, Senior Manager, Outreach & Education at Second Harvest. The following is his blog entry.
CAFB Legislation Day April 24, 2013 is History
Second Harvest Food Bank, represented by Joel Campos and Bob Cadwalader, made its presence known to our two Assemblymen, Mark Stone and Luis Alejo and Senator Bill Monning. We were enthusiastically received as we asked for support for five bills and our overarching strategy, which was freely given. If we had this kind of support throughout the Assembly and Senate, California would be transformed.
The bills we support are:
• SB116: Permanently Extend the Emergency Food for Families Fund
• AB191: Food for Health – Aligning MediCal and Nutrition Assistance
• SB134: No Hunger for Heroes
• SB283: Access to Nutrition Assistance to Support Successful Reentry
• SB672: Working Families Anti-Hunger Act
We also supported the funding of the Emergency Food Assistance Program and the rebuilding and reinvestment in California's safety net. A profitable day for all, our lobbyists gave good reports and our governmental representatives were encouraged to pursue these bills and programs.
For more information on these bills, visit CAFB
CAFB 2013 Conference—Ending Hunger in California: Many Voices One Vision
Willy Elliott-McCrea, CEO of Second Harvest, was a presenter at this year's conference. The workshop he participated in was called "Reaching In or Reaching Out? Empowering the Community to Reach Into Your Food Bank," which examined how different food banks in California have adopted community involvement strategies that allow the community to move forward from hunger into health.
Using our own Nutrition Ambassador program as an example, Willy said, "A key component in moving towards self-sufficiency is that sense of empowerment and being able to help others. We try to give our families a chance to be givers as well as receivers, blurring the lines between volunteers and clients and reducing the sense of dependency.
Our Nutrition Programs create an environment where everyone can learn from each other's knowledge and experiences. Participants share lessons learned and their new commitment to good nutrition and healthy living.
Together, our Nutrition Ambassadors, clients, volunteers, program partners, agencies and staff are creating a healthier future for our community."

MARTINSBURG - Main Street Martinsburg is looking for funds to complete its electric car-charging project in downtown Martinsburg, Randy Lewis, MSM executive director, told the audience Friday at the Chamber of Commerce's Rise and Shine Breakfast.
"It would be the first public car-charging station in West Virginia, but we're short about $4,000," Lewis said. "We're looking for sponsors, grants, tax credits. If anyone wants to donate $4,000, we'd appreciate it."
In June, Main Street Martinsburg won second place in the Main Street West Virginia's annual innovation competition with its proposal to install two solar-powered electric car-charging stations in the East Burke Street parking lot that would be free to use.
MSM received $10,000 for placing second. The money has to go toward the project and MSM has two years to complete the project.
MSM has teamed with MTV Solar in Berkeley Springs on the project. The cost of the project is $19,500. MTV Solar will contribute $6,000 to the project and MSM's board has committed $500 to the project.
In September, Lewis approached the Martinsburg Parking Authority, of which he is a member, about contributing $4,000 from the parking fund. The city council's budget and finance committee had decided to recommend the $4,000 from the parking fund go toward the project.
Fact Box
Festival of banners will kicks off
MARTINSBURG - Main Street Martinsburg's annual Festival of Banners kicks off at 6 p.m. Feb. 25 with the Calling All Artists reception to introduce new and returning artists to the banner project.
Artists submit design concepts for consideration and a panel of judges selects about 30 artists to create their concepts on canvas banners that are displayed from lamp posts downtown throughout the summer.
The winning banners are unveiled during the annual Wine and Arts Festival at Boydville on Memorial Day weekend. The banners will be auctioned Sept. 8 on the town square. The proceeds go toward Main Street Martinsburg projects and programs.
The artists' reception is at the Newberry Executive Center, 142 N. Queen St.
For more information, contact MSM at email@example.com or 304-262-4200.
However, Parking Authority members urged Lewis to seek alternative funding sources, tabling their decision to take the $4,000 out of the city's parking fund.
Last year's second-place finish was Main Street Martinsburg's third time in the runnerup's position. It won for its UniverCity website last year, partnering with several community organizations and agencies to compile information on subjects like how to start a business in Martinsburg, where to recycle, health regulations, education and others.
"Part of our mission is to revive downtown through innovation," Lewis said Friday. "Downtown can be a challenge sometimes, but two new businesses opened recently downtown. Sometimes it's difficult to fill all the stores, businesses come and go. Main Street Martinsburg is there to help."
MSM is a volunteer-driven organization, he said. And a lot of MSM's time and energy goes into holding special events in Martinsburg.
Lewis reviewed some of the bigger events planned for Martinsburg in the coming months, such as the Chocolate Fest and West Virginia Book Faire April 26-27. Cosponsored by Blue Ridge Community and Technical College, this year's featured author is West Virginia University and NBA basketball star Rodney "Hot Rod" Hundley.
The 11th annual Bike Night will be Aug. 17 and the ninth annual Chili Cook-Off will be Oct. 5.
Easter celebrations will be held March 30 and Christmas activities are scheduled for Nov. 29 through Dec. 5.
Fridays @ Five summer concert series on the new town square was so successful last year that it returns this June and July with a variety of entertainers.
MSM also is planning something special for June 20, the 150th anniversary of West Virginia becoming a state.

It's finally here, folks.
Football season.
Now I won't have to watch this guy to get my football fix. (Keep in mind I'm kind of bothered that he's doing this at a pee-wee game, but that's a talk for another time).
But as I was saying, the pigskin is back in play so unless you still have some college eligibility left, let's break down the must-see CFB games and TV shows for this weekend.
Friday Night: Baylor vs. (14) TCU, on ESPN, 8 p.m. EST or Seven Days in Utopia
Andy Dalton is gone for TCU, but QB Robert Griffin III and his top target Kendall Wright are back for the Bears.
Yeah, I'm a homer but I got the boys from Waco avenging last year's 45-10 butt-whooping and bringing the all-time series record to even (right now it's 50-49-7, TCU).
If you feel like getting out tonight, you can go watch Robert Duvall in a golf movie. I do this because I care, people.
Saturday Night: (3) Oregon @ (4) LSU ABC, 8 p.m. EST or (25) USC vs. Minnesota
This is a battle of top 5 teams, one of the best of the SEC vs the best of the Pac-12. It's also a contest between two schools that had controversial off-seasons.
According to ESPN:
Oregon starter Darron Thomas, who threw 30 touchdowns last season to rank second in the Pac-10, was also involved in an offseason incident but will play Saturday. Thomas claims he was asleep in the car when cornerback Cliff Harris was pulled over for driving 118 mph this summer.
Thomas also denies he was smoking marijuana. A police dashboard camera video revealed that the officer who pulled Harris over thought he smelled the odor of marijuana coming from the car.
So yes, Thomas will play, but his LSU counterpart isn't so lucky.
(The Tigers) will be without projected starting quarterback Jordan Jefferson along with reserve linebacker Josh Johns. Both have been suspended indefinitely after being arrested on felony second-degree battery charges stemming from an Aug. 19 melee outside Shady's Bar in Baton Rouge.
Even with all that sketchy behavior, this should still be a great game. I got the Ducks winning a close one.
I also have the Trojans beating the Gophers (3:30 ABC/ESPN3.com) to temporarily get Lane Kiffin off the hot-seat that I am putting him on.
The rest of the weekend in a second...
Stay tuned for what the Rest of the Gang is doing.

Since the boys were little they would pretend they are twins. It tickles them both when we are out and about and people ask if they are in fact, twins. This summer the boys have spent so much time together they have become closer than ever. They fight but most of the time it is twin red head power. I send them up to get dressed every morning and it is inevitable they come back downstairs dressed in similar clothing. Yesterday it was black shorts and grey shirts. Today it was blue swim team shirts, navy shorts, and their flame Keen's. I am going to miss this part of their childhood when it is gone. I just know when they grow up they are going to be incensed and say, But Mom why did you dress us alike, and I will get to reply that you both insisted on dressing like that every single day.
I used to say I had Ryan and I became a parent. I had Aaron to give Ryan a baby. I was so reminded of that during this week. We were at the pool with friends and I was telling Ryan how he would rub my belly when I was pregnant and say with wonder in his voice, Baby!!! I then told them when Aaron was born Ryan adored him piling toys on the baby Aaron's lap as he snoozed in the swing. I said Ryan at almost two you were quite the unpredictable creature but you really always adored Aaron, except when you were in the car throwing shoes at his head.

Equipment durability is an important consideration in food production, and within the harsh environments of many food processing operations, having sharp and durable blades results in better productivity and profitability.
In response to growing concerns over bacterial contamination, mechanically tenderized meat products must now be labeled as such and must include proper cooking instructions.
The number one poultry producer in the U.S. intends to eliminate the use of human antibiotics in chicken flocks by September of next year.
Since 1946, WW Johnson Meat Company has produced premium, quality ground beef distributed to retail and food service operations across the Midwest and beyond. As the company's workforce continued to diversify, it needed a way to break the language barrier between employees and trainers and verify that employees understood training concepts. This case study shows how WW Johnson Meat implemented consistent, multilingual content and automated recordkeeping to overcome barriers of learning.
Buckhead Beef wanted to implement consistent safety practices across its operation. The company held weekly meetings with employees to discuss safety, but the meetings were not effective in building a culture of safety. This case study examines how interactive training, food industry educational courses, and automated recordkeeping and reporting helped Buckhead Beef improve its safety record and boost efficiency.
Bye-bye manual testing: Replaced by new on-line gas analyzer. This case study examines how a meat processing company made the switch from manually and randomly testing of its packages five times each day to an on-line headspace analyzer for its Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) products.
Shelf life studies are used to determine how long a product can reasonably be expected to maintain its quality, safety, and character. These studies take into account not only products' functional qualities such as safety and effectiveness, but also cosmetic qualities such as color and texture that make them appealing to customers.
As a maker of cooking sauces, pickles, dips, and soft drinks, Greencore Foods has become a significant player in the food processing industry. However, the company's effluent from food manufacturing contains an array of inorganic salts and organic components which enter the waste stream in part from the intense wash-down of processing tanks and lines during clean-inplace (CIP) procedures for product changeover. This article explains how the company overcame the challenges of managing its waste water treatment at its Selby, U.K. plant.

I said it before, I'll say it again, and I'll keep saying it until I am proven wrong. The players that Bill Becher and Kierstin Rowe sign continue to be gentlemen off the field as well as great players on the field.
I was sitting there watching the home opener from the stands thinking to myself, "Man, this Angulo kid is gonna be good." Next thing I know he launches a shot and hits the crossbar. Soon after that, he pockets a goal (his second goal in two matches). Right then and there I realized we had a very solid offensive player who is not afraid to put the ball on net and generate chances. Ty Shipalane was the same way, although they have different styles, they both like putting the ball on goal and creating opportunities.
After the match I went on the field where the players were. I had never met Jose before so I did not know what to expect. I knew he was young, I knew he was highly touted in high school, but I wasn't sure what I was going to get. Was he a cocky kid or was he humble? What I saw was a very happy, very polite guy signing autographs and saying hello to kids. I said congrats on the match and we talked briefly. I asked him where he had played previously and a few other questions.
Soon after that I contacted him about doing a Q&A for the blog. He quickly offered to help out and next thing you know, here we are. I know the fans like it when players they root for are nice guys off the field as well as great players on the field and Jose is another great example.
Jose has taken time out of his busy schedule to answer a few questions for Upper 90. Thanks Jose and good luck during the rest of the season.

Despite my long experience with a volunteer cetacean watching programme, Tuesday evening was my closest encounter with a whale when a juvenile minke female washed ashore at Thurso beach. By the looks – and, quickly, smell – of it, she'd been dead for several days.
Gordon Ramsay recently was slammed for eating minke on a visit to Iceland, so perhaps as Ishmael explained as to why whalers generally did not eat their own catch, he should have had a quick glimpse of their hulk of whale carcass.
The sombre sights did not stop me from returning the next day for more photographs. Because of the heat we have had, though, I do not intend to go today.

A former construction boss says his company participated in a collusion scheme involving Quebec government road contracts.
Normand Bedard told the Charbonneau Commission today he was in upper management at construction firm Sintra when he was introduced to the collusion in 1986.
Bedard says the system existed in the Quebec town of Granby where he was working at the time.
He testified that another boss informed him the local road contracts were divided equally among three firms.
Bedard says rigged contracts had profit margins of between 10 and 20 per cent more than those with open bids.
The corruption inquiry took a break for most of the Quebec election campaign and will now focus on political party financing and contracts involving the provincial Transport Department.
Bedard says Sintra had roughly 23 per cent of provincial road contracts when he left in 2012 after serving as president.

1967 Bruce Springsteen Signed & Inscribed Senior High School Yearbook
Starting Bid - $500.00, Sold For - $2,204.00
Rare and extremely desirable Bruce Springsteen signed high school yearbook. The 1967 Freehold New Jersey Regional High School yearbook, titled The Log, features aspiring artist and graduating senior Bruce Springsteen in the era and context that inspired him and shaped much of his creative powers in the years to come. Springsteen has inscribed and signed the book in blue ink above his yearbook picture, "Anielia, Best of luck in the coming years and always remember Mr. Hussey's English class. Have Fun this summer, Bruce." Both the inscription and signature are printed and grade "10." Springsteen is pictured only once in the book and it appears obvious, by the brief educational summary printed below his name ("Freehold Boro...College Prep"), that his academic pursuits had already taken a back seat to his musical ambitions. At the time of his graduation, Springsteen was performing as the lead guitarist and singer for a local band called "The Castilles." His career quickly blossomed and just seven years later, following a performance of Springsteen and the E Street Band in Cambridge, Massachusetts, music critic Jon Landau, wrote "I saw my rock and roll past flash before my eyes. I saw something else: I saw rock and roll's future and its name is Bruce Springsteen." (Landau would later become Springsteen's manager and producer.) The 308-page (including eight-page insert) leather-bound book (8 x 10.75 inches) features numerous inscriptions to "Aniela" throughout and displays light wear from normal handling. Overall in Excellent condition. LOA from Steve Grad & John Reznikoff/PSA DNA. Reserve $500. Estimate $1,000/$1,500. SOLD FOR $2,204.00

Real Moms Share Their Most Embarrassing Pregnancy MomentsLauren Hartmann
Pregnancy is chock-full of embarrassing moments, but when you're the pregnant one it can feel like all of them are only happening to you.
Just so you know…you're not the only one.
These real-life mamas chimed in to share their most embarrassing pregnancy moments with me via Facebook and Twitter. After reading these you'll be able to take solace in the fact that you're not the only one doing embarrassing things during pregnancy.
Read all of the embarrassing moments after the jump!
image-912 1 of 7"I had a planned c-section because my son was breech. Well, you get morphine and it makes you a bit loopy. Right after my son was born they took him to the table with the pediatrician. All I could see was the top of his head and I really wanted to see him! I kept asking my husband over and over, "Is he OK? Is he OK?". A few hours later my husband told me that I wasn't actually asking if he was OK, but that I had actually been asking over and over "Is he cute? Is he cute?". I was so embarrassed! What kind of person did the doctors and nurses think I was if all I was concerned about was that my son was good looking? Next time I'm keeping my mouth shut because the morphine makes me crazy!"
image-913 2 of 7"I was pregnant during some remodeling on our house. One day I came home and I had been nauseous all morning. I got out of the car and saw our contractor and team working on the house. Instantly I got sick and threw up all over the bark dust in our front yard. As if that wasn't bad enough, the sheer force of throwing up caused me to pee my pants and I couldn't stop, so there I was throwing up and peeing myself in front of five guys. The guys started speaking Spanish. Little did they know I speak Spanish. They were calling me "Crazy pregnant lady".
image-914 3 of 7"I was about 7 months pregnant and out for a walk in the cold winter air. I got about a mile and a half from my house and had a sudden urge to pee and it was too late to stop it. I totally peed my pants. Luckily I was wearing black pants so it sort of disguised things, but walking a mile-and-a-half in pee pants in the winter: not fun."
image-915 4 of 7"I was just about 9 months pregnant and stepped into a crowded department store elevator. I underestimated the depth of the elevator and it just about closed on my gigantic belly. Everyone had to move in so I could fit. I was mortified."
image-916 5 of 7"Late one evening when I was about 4 months pregnant (and not really 'showing' yet) I realized that I was just about out of my prenatal vitamins, so I decided to make a quick run to Walgreens to grab some. While I was there I got a text from my husband to pick him up some beer. I'm sure you can tell where this is going... I got in line and without even thinking twice about it set my two items on the counter. The checker looked at me strangely as my turn in line approached and it was only then that I realized the paradox of my purchase. I said, 'Oh...ummm...I bet this looks like a really strange purchase.' and the checker cut me off saying, 'Hey. I don't ask questions. Whatever helps you get through.' So embarrassing!"
image-918 6 of 7"On more than one occasion, I walked out of a bathroom stall with my shirt still pulled up to my bra because I felt covered by the stretchy panel on my maternity pants. The funny looks from others in the bathroom informed me of my wardrobe malfunction."
image-917 7 of 7"In my 15th week of pregnancy I had just started getting my baby bump, but didn't have enough of a bump to spend the month on maternity pants, so I was wearing my pants with the button undone and pairing them with long shirts to help accommodate my growing midsection. One afternoon I was exhausted from a long day at work and wanted to catch the train home so I could nap before a planned night out. The train came a few minutes early, so I had to run for it. Halfway to the train I nearly fell because my pants were falling towards my ankles. Needless to say I missed that train."

Firm or person (such as a broker or consultant) who acts as a mediator on a link between parties to a business deal, investment decision, negotiation, etc. In money markets, for example, banks act as intermediaries between depositors seeking interest income and borrowers seeking debt capital. Intermediaries usually specialize in specific areas, and serve as a conduit for market and other types of information. Also called a middleman. See also intermediation.
Use intermediary in a sentence
When selling a hat business to an investor, I used an intermediary to make sure he and I got the best deal, and what we were doing was in good terms.
As discussions progressed regarding the merger, the two sides became increasingly more combative until an intermediary was brought in to avoid confrontation and help the parties communicate effectively.
If you can't reach a deal with someone and things get out of hand you can contact an intermediary third party to settle things.

Every-body needs a Buddy, as in "Portable Buddy". Mr. Heater has been making portable heaters for years.
A couple years ago when I sold my aluminum drift boat I left the attached heating system that I installed in the boat. It worked great for that boat, as I had multiple Mr. Heater heating elements mounted in three locations. I also had a propane tank secured in the back of the boat and several hoses secured under the left gunnel tray that went from the tank to the heating elements.
I would remove part of the system in the spring as I didn't need it until fall rolled around again. The hoses and some of the brackets I would leave in the boat. To be honest, at times, that extra crap was kind of in the way. In the bow of the boat up under the dash I had a bracket that I left in place because it was screwed in. This minimized some storage room up front and was kind of a pain.
The bottom line is that I spend many days on the water each year, some of which I don't need a heater, and some I do. Let's face it, heaters are nice to have, but we don't always need them.
When I sold my aluminum boat and purchased my RivTech driftboat I spent a little time looking around for exactly what type of system I could put in my new boat. I had several ideas but was really trying to make it so that when I needed the heaters…they were there. When I don't need heaters I didn't want extra components in the boat cluttering things up.
I finally settled on the Mr. Heater "Portable Buddy".
For me, now in my glass boat, it was a no brainer. Truly a heating system that was actually portable and safe. Here are some of the manufacturing specs that make these little heaters so great.
It actually can run off of a 1 lb. screw in cylinder or off of a larger tank connected by a hose.
With a glass boat safety from an accidental fire was kind of on my mind. Perhaps it's thefFiremen in me or just common sense. Either way the fact that these little portable heaters have "auto shut-off tip-over protection", pretty much sealed the deal. for me
Did I mention that they will heat up to 200 square feet…"BONUS"!
I did the math, and here is what I came up with!
The view from my oarsman seat, again "NOT 200 SQUARE FEET".
Finally, the view form the rear seat, I think you get the idea. The bottom line is, these things are compact, portable and crank out the heat. With three of them in the boat, every seat gets the heat. When the day finally warms up they are compact enough to tuck away in the back of the boat, and well out of the way.
I don't know about you but usually the first thing to get cold for most folks in the boat are their feet. These Portable Buddy heaters are perfect for getting the feet warm and throwing out enough heat to keep everyone happy. A single one pound cylinder on the medium heat setting will last about 6 hrs. Throw a couple of extra cylinder's under the seat for those long cold winter steelhead days and you're good to go.
Sportco and Outdoor Emporium usually have these in stock and on-sale for as low as $69.99.
Do yourself, and your friends in your boat a favor and pick up a couple of these Portable Buddies. It may not turn one of those non-fish days into an epic one, but at least you'll be warm which is far better then No Fish, COLD and Miserable!

Annual Meeting, Co-op News, Special Features
Celebrating Co-op Community ServiceBy Steven Johnson | ECT Staff Writer Published: March 10th, 2011
ORLANDO, Fla.—If there were any questions about the lengths to which co-ops go on behalf of their communities, they were answered at the NRECA annual meeting.
Three co-ops received 2011 National Community Service Awards for an energy-efficiency initiative in Alabama, an effort to rebuild distressed Florida communities, and a program that brings the cooperative experience to Wisconsin youth.
"They are showing a bond between cooperatives and the communities they serve," Randy Dwyer, NRECA director of grassroots advocacy, told about 1,500 people at the annual Celebration Lunch at the Peabody Orlando.
The Energy Efficiency award went to Wiregrass Electric Co-op, Hartford, Ala. The co-op committed $100,000 to launch a program to weatherize residences of low-income homeowners, in partnership with a local Habitat for Humanity.
"This is one of those programs that makes you feel really good about working at a co-op," Michael McWaters, Wiregrass Electric CEO, said at the luncheon.
Withlacoochee River Electric Co-op, Dade City, Fla., won the Community Investment award for its role in trying to revive Lacoochee, Fla., and neighboring Trilby. The co-op organized a bus tour of the area in July for federal, state and local officials, and representatives of charitable groups. Co-op officials said resources are starting to flow to the communities.
"It just goes to show what we can do as cooperatives together. We can touch the lives of many people we serve," said David Lambert, manager of member relations.
Jackson Electric Co-op, Black River Falls, Wis., received the 2011 Youth Programs award. In 2009, the co-op donated eight acres of unused land behind its headquarters to a local FFA chapter. Three other cooperatives are involved in the endeavor, which has inspired local students to form their own cooperative with bylaws and patronage dividends.
"We must all keep in mind that our youth is our future, and it is important to teach them the cooperative principles at a young age, so they can grow up and become members of cooperatives, and hold positions of leadership," said Carol Blaken, communications specialist at Jackson Electric.

Mead Johnson Says FDA Inspects Factory in Formula Probe
U.S. regulators have spent today and yesterday inspecting a Mead Johnson Nutrition Co. factory as part of an investigation into whether a Missouri child's death this month was due to tainted infant formula.
Food and Drug Administration inspectors remain at the plant in Zeeland, Michigan, Susan Ricker, Mead Johnson's global quality-services director, said today in a telephone interview. The Glenview, Illinois-based company said Dec. 25 that its tests had shown the batch of formula used by the infant was not contaminated with the Cronobacter bacteria blamed for the death.
"They have come in and we've been cooperating with them and providing information as they request it," Ricker said.
U.S. regulators last week identified two other children infected by Cronobacter, a microbe that can lead to permanent neurological damage. Retailers led by Wal-Mart Stores Inc. pulled a batch of Mead Johnson's Enfamil Newborn formula after authorities said the Missouri child had used it. The formula used by the other children hasn't been identified.
The FDA doesn't discuss specifics of open investigations, Stephanie Yao, an agency spokeswoman, said today in an e-mail. Testing in the Cronobacter investigation is ongoing and the FDA doesn't have a timetable for the results, she said.
Mead Johnson fell 1.6 percent to $67.98 at 4 p.m. New York time. The company, the world's leading seller of child formula, had its biggest one-day gain in five months yesterday, increasing 5.8 percent, after announcing its test results. That followed a fall of 15 percent on Dec. 22 and 23, after retailers pulled the formula.
Three Infections
The first two infections were revealed last week. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said yesterday that a third case had been identified in Oklahoma. That newborn had been hospitalized and was given a different brand of formula than used in the two previously reported cases of the infection, said the CDC's Chris Braden.
There's too little evidence yet to say whether the Oklahoma illness is linked to baby formula, Braden said yesterday in a telephone interview. Regulators are testing powdered products in each of the cases, and have said they may have results this week. Wal-Mart said yesterday it will wait for the government results before deciding whether to return Mead Johnson's formula to its shelves.
The Cronobacter bacteria "can be found in a lot of different places," said Braden, who heads the Division of Foodborne, Waterborne and Environmental Diseases. "Even if these infants were on powdered infant formula, and even the same powdered infant formula, we still don't know yet if that's the source of their infections."
Oklahoma Case
Braden declined to identify the product being tested in the Oklahoma case. The Atlanta-based CDC is working with state health departments and the FDA to study the infections and doesn't want to mislead the public, he said.
The CDC is testing for "numerous types of exposures," Kate Levinson, an agency spokeswoman, wrote in an e-mail.
Mead Johnson said in a Dec. 25 statement that it used formula samples matching those screened by U.S. regulators in the case involving the dead baby, and employed the same methods.
Wal-Mart, Kroger Co. and Walgreen Co. last week pulled a batch of Mead Johnson's formula after the Missouri baby's death was disclosed. Chris Perille, a Mead Johnson spokesman, said his company has received no contact from regulators or requests for samples to test in connection with the other two cases.
"There's no indication of any connection whatsoever to any of our products," he said.
Wal-Mart Waits
Wal-Mart will await FDA results before deciding whether to return the product to its shelves, Dianna Gee, a spokeswoman for the Bentonville, Arkansas-based company, said yesterday in a telephone interview. Jim Cohn, a spokesman for Walgreen, in Deerfield, Illinois, said he was gathering information and couldn't yet comment. Messages weren't returned by Keith Daley, a spokesman for Cincinnati-based Kroger.
The Enfa brands, which include Enfamil, accounted for 79 percent of Mead Johnson's $3.14 billion in 2010 revenue and were the world's lead brand franchise in pediatric nutrition based on retail sales, the company said in a February filing.
The CDC is working with state regulators and the FDA in testing samples in the case of the Missouri baby who died, said Robert Tauxe, deputy director of the foodborne infection division.
The second case involved an Illinois baby who fell sick in Missouri during a trip, officials have said. Public health officials are checking to see if the bacteria in the infections have the same genetic fingerprint, Tauxe said in a Dec. 23 telephone interview. If they do, that may suggest they came from the same source.
