Fans mourn, opponents celebrate Barcelona's last bullfight
Sep 25, 2011, 1:19 p.m.
By Alice Tozer
BARCELONA, Spain (Reuters) - Fans and opponents of bullfighting crowded into Barcelona on Sunday for the last "corrida" to be held in the city's La Monumental arena following a ban on the traditional Spanish spectacle in Catalonia.
All 20,000 seats in the historic bull ring had sold out weeks in advance for the contest in which Spain's top matador, Jose Tomas, and two others will put to death six bulls.
Touts were charging 1,600 euros for tickets, three times the face value of the top price seats closest to the sand.
Crowds filled bars outside La Monumental before the 6 p.m start, many dressed as if going to a formal dinner party. Fans -- a number of whom had come from abroad -- lamented the ban, saying it was stifling tradition and stamping on society's rights.
"This is like a dictatorship. We don't do anything wrong to anyone and we are banned from having a 300 year-old show. And in Barcelona, where there used to be three bullfighting arenas," Josep Navarro, 60, a longtime fan, told Reuters.
But opponents of the bullfight celebrated their victory in getting the traditional spectacle banned in Catalonia and said they would continue to campaign for other regions to follow.
Many protested outside the arena, or Plaza de Toros, carrying posters reading "RIP" in blood-red lettering and blowing whistles under the watchful eyes of squads of police.
"It is a small victory, but the thought of having it in the rest of Spain and still having "Correbous" here does not make me happy. I am here because six animals are going to be tortured here today," said an anti-bullfighting activist who gave his name as Luis.
The correbous are local Catalan festivals in which bulls have fire brands tied to their horns but are not killed.
The law banning bullfighting in autonomous Catalonia was passed by the regional parliament in July last year after a citizens' petition.
Though driven by animal rights activists, many commentators saw it as part of Catalonia's desire to distance itself from culture rooted elsewhere in Spain.
The spectacle is seen by fans as an art, and has inspired artists such as painters Goya and Picasso and poet Federico Garcia Lorca. But critics say the event, in which three matadors in turn face six half-ton bulls in a ritual which ends with the animal being killed by a sword thrust, amounts to torture and has no place in a modern society.
Its popularity is dwindling in Spain, although it retains loyal followings in Anadalusia, Madrid, the Basque country and some other parts of the country as well as southwest France. But fights are increasingly poorly attended and Spain's economic problems have also hit the industry.
Still, Jose Tomas, considered one of the great matadors of all ages, was estimated to be paid 350,000 euros for Sunday's event. Known for his courage, he has only recently returned to the ring after a goring in Mexico in April last year nearly killed him.

I am interested in buying a couple ferrets, a female that is 16 months old and a male that is 9 months old. Is it OK to buy these ferrets and bring them to new owners and a new home at this age? I have heard that ferrets don't deal well with losing their owner.
In my own experience ferrets in this situation do just fine. You can expect a little uncertainty in the new home and the ferrets may test things out a little, but they should do just fine.
My husband and I have adopted ferrets more than 5 years of age, and they settled in with no problems. I am sure the ferrets would appreciate a little extra attention from you and maybe some extra playtime.

|Tech boys lose close one to Coyotes 63-60
Technology High's boys' basketball team had Sonoma Academy on the ropes midway through their North Central League II contest on Tuesday, but the Titans were unable to close the deal as they fell 63-60.
The Titans carried a six-point lead into halftime, 31-25. But the Coyotes responded with a 21-9 scoring advantage in the third quarter to seize control of the game. Technology outscored the Coyotes in the final period 20-17.
The defeat dropped the Titans to 6-12 overall and 1-6 in the NCL II. Santa Rosa's Roseland University Prep, which is locked in a tight battle for the league lead with Rincon Valley Christian, improved to 10-5 overall and 4-0 in league by beating Technology 52-41 on Jan. 17.
Tonight, the Titans host Calistoga (7-10 overall, 2-14 in NCL) at 7:30 p.m. The game will be played at Technology Middle School in Rohnert Park.

HOMETOWN Austin, Texas
LATEST ROLE Ryan Atwood, poor boy among trust-fund babies on The O.C.
•Why you know him: FOX's new drama has turned McKenzie into a heartthrob, but he was supposed to make it big on another fall TV pilot. That is, until a script revise made his character African-American. "I have range, but I can't do that," says the actor, who landed his O.C. gig shortly thereafter.
•In the beginning: Unlike his troubled teen persona, he says "there are no horror stories" from his early years as the oldest child of Pete, an attorney, and his wife, Frances, a poet-writer. At the University of Virginia, the '01 grad tried out for a play on a whim. "It was a great way to be creative," says the economics major. "Charts and graphs were really boring!"
•Big break: At his O.C. audition, "he made no small talk, he didn't smile, but he was really good," says creator Josh Schwartz, 27. "We've gotten him to smile a little since."
•Celebrity double: McKenzie laughs when told he's a dead ringer for Russell Crowe: "I'm glad to be compared to him and not Carrot Top. What would I say then? 'Thank you...I think?' "
The O.C.'s Benjamin McKenzie

Colloque Göedel — Informations générales
par- 7 mars 2013
International Conference "Kurt Gödel philosopher : from logic to cosmology".
Aix-en-Provence July 11-13, 2012
Final event of a four-year project funded by the French Research Association (ANR) 2009-2013 in collaboration with Université Aix-Marseille, CEPERC (AMU, CNRS), IHPST (Paris 1/CNRS/ENS), SND (Paris 4/CNRS)
Gödel's writings published during his lifetime show his dual interest in scientific questions and in fundamental philosophical questions. The posthumous publication of certain manuscripts and talks enables one better to understand this double interest in science and in philosophy. On the one hand, Gödel developed most of his scientific results in order to solve or clarify certain philosophical questions. On the other hand, his scientific work in the foundations of mathematics and in cosmology enriched his philosophical thought on, for example, the a priori classification of philosophical systems, and on the relations between the notions of concept and object. Hence, not only did Gödel, as is well known, believe that philosophy might become an exact theory, provided that one does for metaphysics what Newton did for physics ; he should moreover be aligned with Descartes, Leibniz, and other early modern philosophers who believed that science and philosophy are inseparable.
The conference will explore several features of Gödel's philosophy that emerge from the unpublished manuscripts Max-Phil, which have been partly transcribed by the research group directed by Gabriella Crocco at CEPERC (Université Aix-Marseille). The presentation of the complete transcriptions of Max-Phil IX-XV will be accompanied by an exploration of Gödel's philosophy of logic, mathematics, and physics by international specialists and young Gödel scholars.

Princeton University, 1980. Anne Roth, young ambition-free librarian, is given the task of retrieving the archives of Kurt Godel, the most fascination and mysterious mathematician of the 20th century. Her mission consists in winning the trust of his widow, a notorious old shrew who seems to be satisfying her grudge against the Establishment by refusing to give away documents of an infinite scientific value. From their first meeting, Adele figures Anna out. But suprisingly, she doesn't push her away. Instead, she defines the rules of the game, and barters the archives in exchange for her story...

Yeah, the new Ugha, Grok's girlfriend, it's me!
I started PB somewhere in September this year. I am one of those that dive straight to the bottom of the pool. I am so tired of weighing myself, counting points, starving myself; so I decided that I am going to embrace PB as a new way of living, and naturally.
I also started working the kettlebell too. Love it! I am new to this, but eager to learn and move on.
I have two kids, one out of the house and a 10-year-old. I'm married and happy to be married. I'm originally from Brazil, living here for about 12 years. Love America!

Through the Girl Scout Cookie Program we are taught 5 essential skills.
I have learned goal setting is very important and needed because if you don't have a goal you don't know what you're working for. Decision making is another skill learned through the Cookie Program. You first have to make decisions such as where you will sell your cookies because if you don't have decisions made you don't have any idea what your plan is. Another one of the 5 skills learned through the Cookie Program is money management and it is one of the most important things when selling cookies. You need to know how to count back change.
The more the girls can do, the better the selling. Let the older girls handle the money because it does take a little longer for the little ones to count back change. Always double count the change and add up the boxes sold right after the sale just to make sure that you have the correct amount of money. Having people skills is also another important skill when selling cookies. Girl Scouts need to have good people skills because some people are not very nice and I have learned that you have to be nice no matter what. The last thing you learn is good business ethics.
To have a successful Cookie Sale, it's important to know how to run your cookie business and manage your money wisely.

- A high abundance of massive galaxies 3-6 billion years after the Big Bang

- Abstract
- Hierarchical galaxy formation is the model whereby massive galaxies form from an assembly of smaller units. The most massive objects therefore form last. The model succeeds in describing the clustering of galaxies, but the evolutionary history of massive galaxies, as revealed by their visible stars and gas, is not accurately predicted. Near-infrared observations (which allow us to measure the stellar masses of high-redshift galaxies) and deep multi-colour images indicate that a large fraction of the stars in massive galaxies form in the first 5 Gyr (refs 4-7), but uncertainties remain owing to the lack of spectra to confirm the redshifts (which are estimated from the colours) and the role of obscuration by dust. Here we report the results of a spectroscopic redshift survey that probes the most massive and quiescent galaxies back to an era only 3 Gyr after the Big Bang. We find that at least two-thirds of massive galaxies have appeared since this era, but also that a significant fraction of them are already in place in the early Universe.

1900 Stanley Cup Full Ticket
Starting Bid - $500.00, Sold For - $2,937.50
Extremely rare (and very likely unique) complete ticket to the first game of the 1900 Stanley Cup Finals between the defending champion Montreal Shamrocks and the Winnipeg Victorias, held on February 12th at the Westmount Arena in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. To the best of our knowledge, this is the earliest complete Stanley Cup finals ticket known to exist and thus represents a particularly extraordinary relic from the game's earliest days. For the first time in the history of the Stanley Cup, it was agreed that the 1900 championship would be determined by a best-of-three series. The offered ticket is from the first game of that series, won by Winnipeg by a score of 4-3. Montreal rebounded from that loss; however, and won the next two games to retain its Stanley Cup championship. It is our understanding that this ticket originates from the personal collection of a player of the era, who was provided with this special box seat ticket (which carries a face value of $5, quite a sum in 1900) as a courtesy but apparently was not able to attend the game, thus explaining its survival in this remarkable and perfect unused form. This is an extremely rare ticket. We have been unable to locate any private sale or auction records for any similar unused Stanley Cup tickets from this era. The ticket (3.5 x 1.25 inches) is in Excellent to Mint condition. Reserve $500. Estimate (open). SOLD FOR $2,937.50

SCORELESS IN SEATTLE / 1st blanking of the 49ers since 1977
Published 4:00 am, Monday, September 27, 2004
2004-09-27 04:00:00 PDT Seattle -- Not so long ago, the 49ers were inflicting on other teams the kind of pain and embarrassment they felt in their 34-0 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday. Now it's the 49ers whose locker room is a morgue. It's the once-mighty 49ers who are now in free fall.
This loss was a historic low for the 49ers in several areas:
-- The team's NFL-record streak of 420 games without being shut out ended. Its last shutout occurred at Candlestick Park on Oct. 9, 1977, when the Falcons beat San Francisco 7-0.
-- It was the worst shutout loss in team history, the previous being a 31-0 whitewash against the 1961 Bears.
-- It was the 49ers' most lopsided defeat since losing to Jacksonville on opening day of the 1999 season, when the team fell 41-3.
-- The 49ers' lone first down rushing was the fewest in 35 years, since the Vikings held them without a rushing first down.
And they lost to a team that brings back memories of the 49ers in more productive times, a team led by their former offensive coordinator, who runs the West Coast offense that Bill Walsh created when he was hired to coach the 49ers in 1979.
From their experienced but still young quarterback to their talented secondary, their hounding defensive ends who were signed as free agents and their impressive depth, the 2004 Seahawks might as well have been the 49ers of the '80s and '90s.
Conversely, the 49ers, who have been decimated by injuries and personnel decisions, finished the third week of the season as the league's worst team. They haven't won a game in nine months. The 34-0 drumming is also alarming in a league marked by parity.
For 49ers coach Dennis Erickson, Sunday could not have been worse. The native of Everett, Wash., went home, where his father, Pink, died in April, and endured a horrendous defeat to the team he once coached.
"That is what I would say is just a flat ass-kicking," Erickson said in his opening comment to reporters after the debacle.
Erickson envisioned the 49ers being just like the Seahawks are now when he was hired before last season.
"I've kept my eye on them because I used to coach here," the downtrodden coach said of the Seahawks. "They've just kept getting better, kept adding guys."
Two players they added, defensive ends Chike Okeafor and Grant Wistrom, contributed mightily to the 49ers' offensive anemia. Okeafor, whom the 49ers failed to re-sign in 2003, had a fumble-causing sack and five tackles. Wistrom pressured quarterback Ken Dorsey constantly and finished with four tackles.
The 49ers, on the other hand, started defensive end Brandon Whiting, who admits he's not recovered from major shoulder surgery. Otis Leverette, Tony Brown and James Atkins, all signed just before the start of the season, were also in the defensive-line rotation.
There was no comparison between the two starting quarterbacks. Seattle's Matt Hasselbeck, a sixth-year player, was on his game, while Dorsey, a 23-year- old making his second NFL start, was off.
The difference was evident in the first quarter, with Dorsey attempting to throw a short pass in between defenders to wide receiver Cedrick Wilson. The pass was behind Wilson, who tipped the ball with one hand. The deflection landed in the arms of Seattle cornerback Ken Lucas, who returned the interception to the 49ers' 26.
Faced with a similar pass a play later, Hasselbeck zipped the ball to tight end Jerramy Stevens with linebacker Derek Smith hanging over him.
Hasselbeck completed 21 of 30 passes for 254 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. Dorsey, starting for the injured Tim Rattay, went 19-for-32 for 153 yards and two picks.
Dorsey also fumbled twice and each time, the Seahawks recovered.
"You turn it over a couple times in a row, you get behind like we did, that's when that kind of (blowout) happens," Erickson said.
The loss could not be pinned on Dorsey alone. The offensive line, which was without left tackle Kwame Harris (ankle) and center Jeremy Newberry (knee surgery), was dominated by the Seahawks' defensive front.
The 49ers managed only 48 yards rushing on 18 carries. Running back Kevan Barlow, who had romped for 114 yards last week, ran for 22 yards on 10 carries.
"Their front was good," Barlow said. "Better than I expected."
Defensively, the 49ers kept prolific running back Shaun Alexander contained, but the secondary continued to have breakdowns that led to long gains. Wide receiver Bobby Engram found himself open for a 60-yard reception after safety Tony Parrish took a poor angle, and after cornerback Jimmy Williams bit on play action.
Hasselbeck also had ample time to throw out of the West Coast offense favored by Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren, who was Walsh's quarterbacks coach from 1986 through '88 and later the 49ers' offensive coordinator.
With the 0-3 start, the 49ers are just trying to keep from disintegrating.
Afterward, Erickson touted a theme of togetherness, a thought seconded by several veterans.
When asked if this is what happens occasionally to a young team, wide receiver Curtis Conway said, "No, that's an excuse. You can't sugarcoat anything. This is the NFL."

So, quick post. Days have been crazy between work and a little project me and my good friend Graham (link to your right) are working on.
I just wanted to point out a little vanity link: an animation spotlight with "A Pug´s Life" and myself over at the Aniboom website. Really nice of them. I can´t thank them enough for the attention. Although I think I sound too pompous in some answers. I do, don´t I? Sorry.

Sometimes, the internet is boring. It's a tough truth to bear, but it is true nonetheless, and I deal with that fact when it rears its ugly head. But what brightens up those dreary internet days for me aren't just the websites I check out for news and info, they're the personalities that I rely on to get that info to me: their senses of humor, senses of the surreal and their ability to hand-pick and hand present stuff that I want to see. Here are ten Twitter personalities that I love hearing from, and I think you should check out for the New Year, and beyond.Continue Reading →
In the West, culture is at risk of being a form of entertainment — exiled Iranian artist Shirin Neshat #TEDWomen
Part of me thinks this has already happened. I asked An Xiao for a context for this quote at the TEDWomen conference and she provided the following:
Continue Reading →
Neshat spoke today about her experience as an artist exiled from Iran. She explained that art and culture are a form of resistance, and that she envied Western artists for not having to think about resistance in their work. The only challenge, though, is that art here in the West can quickly become entertainment instead.
If you, like so many art-worlders, are heading to the Miami art fairs next week, chances are you may be feeling a little grimy. Why? Not because of the humidity, but maybe because of the exploitative economic interactions and hierarchies on display at US's biggest art shopping mall. The antidote to all this is #Rank, an event organized by artists William Powhida and Jen Dalton in collaboration with the Edward Winkleman Gallery, which will be park at the Seven art fair. #Rank will critique the blatant displays of wealth and status and the stratification of the art world through panels, artist projects and lectures. The details of #Rank were until recently unclear aside from a call for proposals, but now Powhida and Dalton have started announcing their artist projects, and they sound great. Here's a preview of 5 projects that I find particularly interesting.Continue Reading →

To provide weight-for-length reference data for preterm, very-low-birth-weight and low-birth-weight infants.
Data from 867 infants (428 boys and 439 girls) in the Infant Health and Development Program, who each were preterm and who had a low birth weight, were used to develop weight-for-length reference data. The Infant Health and Development Program is a national, randomized, clinical trial that included various ethnic groups at 8 sites. At each site, sampling ensured that two thirds of the infants in the study weighed 2000 g or less and that one third of the infants weighed from 2001 to 2500 g at birth. Infants were examined at birth, at 40 weeks' postconception, and at 4, 8, 12, 18, 24, 30, and 36 months' gestationadjusted age. Gestation-adjusted age was used instead of chronological age from birth to correct for the degree of prematurity.
Weight-for-length percentiles are given for lengths at 3-cm intervals ranging from 48 to 100 cm. These percentiles are sex specific and are for a very-low-birth-weight group (≤1500 g) and a low-birth-weight group (1501-2500 g).
These data should assist screening for deviations from normal growth and may aid in the early detection of failure to thrive and excessive weight gain in infancy.Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med. 1996;150:964-970

Best way to stop whining?
My 2 1/2 year old has been whining for 2 weeks constantly. What is the most effective way to stop this? It's enough to drive you insane after a while!
I ask him to use his regular voice but feel like I'm saying it 300 times a day.
No clue, he sleeps 12 hrs a night and takes a 2 he nap. He eats a lot and snacks. Just seems to be whining constantly anymore.
Quoting la_bella_vita:
It depends. What is causing the whining?
Whine back to him. It usually made my kid start giggling.
I always tell my 3 year old that I can't understand her and she needs to speak clearly. Even if I know what she wants I will pretend like I don't know what she is saying.

Ten Tuesday ScribblesPosted by zhayes9 on January 11th, 2011
Zach Hayes is an editor, contributor and bracketologist at Rush the Court.
If I had to compile a midseason All-American team, the first four choices seem fairly obvious: Kemba Walker, Jimmer Fredette and Nolan Smith at the three guard spots and Jared Sullinger manning the frontcourt. The final selection is up for debate and valid arguments can be made for JaJuan Johnson, Jon Leuer, Terrence Jones and Derrick Williams. Due to his invaluable status relative to his team, Williams takes the cake. His importance to the success of the Wildcats is immeasurable and the idea that Arizona is barely an NIT team without his presence isn't far fetched. Williams is compiling a monstrous season not only as far as basic statistics are concerned (19/7 on an incomprehensible 66/75/71 from the floor) but also in most advanced metrics you can dig up (24th in offensive rating, third in effective FG%, second in true shooting% and second in fouls drawn per 40 minutes). Walker spurted ahead of Sullinger to reclaim frontrunner status for National POY following his heroics late in Austin on Saturday, while Fredette is a must-see spectacle every time he takes the floor. His scoring display against the normally rugged UNLV halfcourt defense was a sight to behold and the 6'2 guard now only trails the aforementioned Walker atop the scoring charts in college basketball. Sullinger has exemplified why it's preposterous for people to criticize freshmen inclusions on preseason All-American teams. In the one-and-done era where the premier high school talents are forced to play a season on the collegiate level, the last five or so years have shown freshmen are more than capable of making this type of dramatic impact. We just pegged the wrong rookie in early November. Finally, if it's possible to play for Duke and be underrated, Nolan Smith fits the bill. His seamless transition to point guard in the absence of Kyrie Irving should be applauded. Striking that delicate balance between scoring and distributing is a challenging one. Prior to struggles against Maryland, Smith was playing the best basketball of any player in the nation.
It's too early to make any broad, sweeping statements about which teams are definitely elite and separating themselves from the pack. Remember, at this point last season, Texas was the #1 team in the nation with North Carolina and Connecticut also setting up camp in the top 15. At the same time, Saturday's action gave us a glimpse into that pecking order possibly starting to take shape. Four of the five remaining unbeaten teams- Duke, Ohio State, Kansas and Syracuse– all survived hard-fought, competitive, high-intensity games over the weekend, while, with the exception of unblemished brethren San Diego State, the rest of the top 25 experienced quite the upheaval. One of the discernable traits of Final Four-caliber teams is the ability to win games despite not playing their best basketball, especially on the road. Nolan Smith shot just 5-18 from the floor, Duke as a team only made 6-21 from three and the Blue Devils still found a way to edge past ACC rival Maryland. The Buckeyes shot just 39% from the floor, blew a double digit second half lead and still managed to survive Minnesota. Kansas shot an ugly 36%, including 4-24 from behind the arc, yet outlasted upstart Michigan in a true road game. The same applied to Syracuse on Saturday in their low-scoring affair with Seton Hall. Elsewhere, ranked teams like Missouri, Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Georgetown, Kansas State, Michigan State and UCF succumbed to losses, the majority coming on the road against conference competition. If the season ended today, it's clear that undefeated Duke, Ohio State, Kansas and Syracuse would be the four #1 seeds. If those squads can continue their habits of winning despite not playing their best basketball, we could see a hierarchy start to take shape. As for the rest of the rankings, be prepared for a jumbled mess for the next two months.
Speaking of Kansas, the more things change, the more they stay the same in the Big 12. The job Bill Self has done with that program cannot possibly be overstated. The depth he has been able to assemble is remarkable. How many teams can lose two lottery picks and their senior point guard and not miss a beat? Self has reached an enviable position in Lawrence: recognizable and historical program, energized fan base, top-flight recruiting and a winning expectation. The reason why Kansas has won the Big 12 every season since 2003-04, and the reason why they're the prohibitive favorite once again this year, is their ability to play at any tempo, any pace and in any type of game in any environment. Missouri is widely considered a threat to KU in the conference this time around, but their stunning defeat at the hands of struggling Colorado is the perfect example of the contrast between Missouri, and other Big 12 programs to an extent, and rival Kansas. The Tigers are only successful against competitive challengers (North Alabama doesn't qualify) when they force turnovers and turn the game into a chaotic marathon, and Missouri has historically struggled away from the friendly confines of their home arena. While Kansas enjoys home cooking as much as any program, they've shown a much greater propensity to win away from Allen Fieldhouse. They can win games in the 50's or games in the 90's. Their offensive and defensive efficiency are both equally top notch year in and year out under Self. Here's a rule of thumb: until Kansas doesn't win the Big 12, they should be picked in the preseason. Every single year.

In Japan, tens of thousands of workers have lost their jobs as the global market for cars and electronics has stalled.
In the country, where some companies also provide housing, losing your job can also mean losing your home.
Thousands are now living in shelters and even on the streets.
"I was sleeping in this park for a week," said. Hideki Matsuhashi. "I never imagined my life would be this hard."
Another 120,000 workers in the country are expected to lose their job this month.
Trouble Down Under
In Australia, the economy has shrunk for the first time since 2001.
Pacific Brands, the country's leading clothing maker, is shutting down factories nationwide and sending jobs to China.
This means thousands of people with no training in other industries and few job prospects will be looking for work.
"To retrain those people, it's not going to be easy and what do you train them for? There is nothing left," explained Pacific Bonds employee Peter Basto.
Animals Hurting Too
Not only people, but animals in Kenya's Masai reserve will feel the effects of the bad economy.
The wild animals attract tourists from across the globe, but this year fewer people are making the trip.
Rangers who guide the tours and protect the animals face an uncertain future, and so do the animals.
"Once we are not there, poachers will come in and kill these animals." ranger Stanley Mashuko said.
Spending Worthless Money
Hungary is said to be on the verge of bankruptcy.
The currency in the country is nearly worthless and Hungarians who took out loans to buy their homes and start businesses can't pay them back.
Istvan, a construction worker, worked for months without a paycheck when his company stopped paying wages.
Now his family faces eviction from their home.

The Spending Gap
A home must have a solid foundation in order to be structurally stable. Homeowners may not know the severity of a small crack or a bowing wall until it has grown into a larger problem that is very expensive to fix. Many U.S. homes have reported foundation issues, but only a fraction of homeowners are addressing these issues because there is a spending gap in the money required to repair or replace these structures, and the money a homeowner has to spend.
Number of U.S. Homes with Crumbling or Cracked Foundations – 2.8 Million*
Estimated Cost to Repair Crumbling or Cracked Foundations – $16.9 Billion**
Estimated Spending on Home Repair Each Year – $1 Billion***
What if You Could Repair Your Residential Foundation at a Fraction of the Cost of Replacement?
You can. HJ3's StrongHold™ product line includes systems that have been engineered specifically to strengthen and repair common applications found within residential homes, often saving our clients between 50% and 70% compared with traditional steel repair methods or replacement.

Featured Golf News
Missouri's Columbia CC Reopens Following Remodel
After undergoing an extensive renovation overseen by Fry/Straka Global Golf Course Design, the golf course at Columbia Country Club in Columbia, Mo., reopened for play on July 27.
"The comments by the membership and guests of the club have been incredibly complimentary," said Jason Straka, a Fry/Straka principal who oversaw the project. "If they enjoy the course now, they will fall in love with it as it matures over the next few years."
Ten holes were rebuilt or rerouted, and the remaining eight holes and the practice facility were updated. In addition, 2,000 feet of Army Corps of Engineers jurisdictional stream were restored on two holes, adding to the environmental friendliness of the course.
Since it reopened, Columbia Country Club has seen a membership increase of nearly 10 percent. On August 3, the par-71 layout hosted the first round of the inaugural Columbia Women's City Golf Championship, where a new women's course record of 72 was set.
"You can get a risk-reward shot or you can play it safe - nearly everyone says the redesigned course is beautiful and extremely fair," said Brett Bieske, the club's general manager and director of golf. "It now has the look and feel of a Lake-of-the-Ozarks course."
Enhanced aesthetics and playability were two central goals of the redesign. Among the many changes was the removal of a number of trees and invasive vegetation that restricted imaginative shot-making on certain holes, and have since opened up views of Hinkson Creek and its tributaries. In addition, some new tees were added and other tees redesigned.
A number of challenging factors faced Straka with the redesign. The course is landlocked by roads, freeways and an abandoned Missouri Department of Transportation site. The property is bisected by a small river, which runs through a deep ravine, and the site of the course, opened in the 1920s, is quite small.
Over the past few years, commercial development surged along the course's southeastern boundary. Municipal decisions - such as a new freeway exit, a new bridge spanning the river and a new access road - took out a portion of three holes. Consequently, all the back-nine holes had to be redesigned and some holes moved completely to maintain the overall yardage. The rebuilt holes feature improved drainage, irrigation, turf-growing conditions, aesthetics and playability.
The new golf holes are a bit wider and more playable than the older ones, yet shots into the greens are still demanding. The course now ranges from 4,702 yards from the forward tees to 6,527 at the tips. The greens now feature a new turf that's more tolerant to disease and drought, and the putting surfaces now drain well and can withstand the transition zone's heat and summer stresses. Stilling pools were created in the streams to control sedimentation, and hundreds of native riparian plants were added along the streams.

Easton Corbin holds Illinois FFA Forum at Lake Land College
Former FFA member and Ram Truck brand "Year of the Farmer" Spokesman Easton Corbin rocked the house at Lake Land College on Wednesday, entertaining high school students from more than 30 Illinois FFA chapters.
This was Corbin's first stop at a college during his 12-city national Year of the Farmer tour on behalf of Ram and FFA. In each market, a private event is held exclusively for FFA members with Corbin performing songs and answering questions from the audience.
Corbin's visit and concert is part of the Ram Truck brand's "Year of the Farmer" initiative aimed at bringing national attention to the significance of the American farmer, which was launched in February with the brand's much talked about "Farmer" video airing during the Super Bowl television broadcast. The video was set to Paul Harvey's eloquent "So God Made a Farmer" words first spoken at the 1978 National FFA Convention. The year-long initiative demonstrates the brand's commitment to the American farmer and the agriculture industry. The partnership addresses the growing needs of the world. By 2050, there will be 9 billion mouths to feed, backs to clothe, and people to shelter.
Addressing these needs is not going to be an easy task. However, through the support of companies like the Ram Truck brand, and harnessing the passion of the American farmer and agriculturalists across our nation, FFA members who are future agriculturist, food producers, food processors and scientists will meet these challenges.
Mercury Nashville recording artist Easton Corbin is lauded for his traditional country sound, authentic lyrics and mastery of understatement. His self-titled debut album released in 2010 spawned back-to-back hits "A Little More Country than That" and "Roll With It," making him the first country male artist in 17 years to have his first two consecutive singles reach number one. That same year, the Gilchrist County Florida native won all of the Breakthrough Artist awards at the American Country Awards – Artist of the Year: Breakthrough Artist, Single of the Year: Breakthrough Artist and Music Video: Breakthrough Artist for "A Little More Country Than That." Billboard named Corbin as the Top New Country Artist of 2010. His latest single, "All Over the Road," placed number three on the country airplay charts and is from his current album by the same name.

|Real-time tactics, real-time strategy
Darwinia is a 2005 real-time tactics and real-time strategy video game for several platforms. It is the second game developed by Introversion Software, and its setting is within a computer environment that simulates artificial intelligence.
Darwinia was created as a digital theme world for artificially intelligent polygons by Dr Sepulveda. Housed in a massive network of surplus Protologic 68000 machines from the 1980s, Darwinia is a world where the single-poly Darwinians, with their simple, but growing AI, can grow and evolve. Darwinia is also where the world can visit to see them frolicking in their natural, fractal habitat. A Darwinian lives a life working and growing, until the eventual death of the Darwinian, which releases their digital soul to later be reincarnated.
However, the player arrives in the midst of an emergency. Darwinia has been infected by a computer virus, and Sepulveda is in near panic, watching decades of research being corrupted and being used up. Sepulveda enlists the player, a curious hacker who stumbled across Darwinia by accident, to aid him in rescuing the Darwinians and drive off the computer virus. The player is given access to the combat programs, simple tools that originally began as mini-games. These are now the only means of attack against the virus. As the player progresses, it soon becomes clear this is not enough, and that triggers the third aspect of the gameplay, which is evolution.
The first two levels of the video game act as an introduction and allow the player to familiarize themselves with the controls. After that, Dr Sepulveda begins assigning tasks that span several levels to achieve a long-term objective. The first task involves clearing the virus population from and reactivating the Mines and Power Generator to provide resources for the Construction Yard. Once done, the Yard begins producing armored units, allowing the player to move on. The next task involves the reincarnation of Darwinians: the Soul Repository in the center of Darwinia collects the floating souls, and sends them down to the Receiver, where the Darwinians gather them and send them to the Pattern Buffer to be reprogrammed with the main Darwinian blueprint code, where they are sent to the Biosphere to be reborn. The player must clear the Viruses from all the facilities and reactivate them.
In the final level of the game, Sepulveda traces the Viral infection back to its source, which is e-mail spam. After Sepulveda had accidentally flashed an image of his face across the skies of Darwinia, The Darwinians had assumed him to be God. They then re-aligned a portal inside Darwinia in an attempt to communicate with God. The Darwinians managed to access Sepulveda's computer, downloading several files and eventually downloading the Spam. The e-mails were infected with a very nasty strain of internet virus which corrupted the Darwinians. The player is tasked to destroying the few remaining e-mails.
Darwinia mixes elements from strategy, action, puzzle, hacker and God games alike, meaning that it does not fall under a specific video game genre.[1] The player has the ability to run several programs through the Task Manager (a reference to the Windows Task Manager),[citation needed] similar to units used in many real time strategy games. Research allows the player to upgrade programs and weapons, which is critical as the enemy develops. Mission Objectives are given at each location/level, as the player and the Darwinians attempt to wipe out the Viruses.
The initial beta testing of Darwinia begun on 27 August 2004, and the beta testing of the full game started on 26 November, the same year. A demo level of Darwinia was released 3 months later on 21 January, and can be downloaded from the Darwinia website. Darwinia was released on 4 March 2005, while the Macintosh version was released 30 March 2005 by publisher Ambrosia Software. A patch was released on 28 April 2005 for Microsoft Windows, bringing the version to 1.2. New features included an improved unit selection system, as well as numerous modding updates including the ability to create custom strings. Another patch (version 1.3) was released in September 2005, which includes the option (enabled by default) of clicking icons or using keyboard shortcuts to create units instead of using the gesture system.
A new demo, using features of the above-mentioned version 1.3 patch and an entirely new level "Launchpad" not in the full game, was released in September 2005. Darwinia was released on Steam on 14 December 2005. With the Steam framework open to them, Introversion now hopes to implement the long-planned multiplayer mode into Darwinia.[2] Beta testing signups for the next Windows Patch started on 22 February 2006.[3] A new patch was released on 10 March 2006 bringing the version up to 1.42 and adding difficulty settings ranging from 1 to 10. Higher difficulties increase the number, speed, and health of monsters. It also increases the speed of the player's own units. When played on the highest difficulty, the players will experience "Darwinia on Steroids", a term coined by Introversion and referring to the high speed of the player.[4] eGames-owned Cinemaware on 4 April 2006 issued a press release announcing they would bring Darwinia to US markets in June 2006. Beta testing signups for version 1.5.x started on 15 December 2006.[5] A Windows Vista exclusive version of Darwinia with extra eye candy and 3 additional levels was released on 31 January 2007. Version 126.96.36.199 patch released on 18 June 2007, providing support for DirectX 9c, including extra eye candy and the "Launchpad" level.
Darwinia+ is the version of Darwinia for the Xbox 360, released on the Xbox Live Arcade on 11 February 2010. It includes updated versions of both Darwinia and Multiwinia. This was Introversion Software's first venture onto a video games console.[6]
Darwinia features a number of intros randomly selected when launching the game. These contain a number of references that may be obscure to some players, especially those unfamiliar with older European computers. These include:
- Cracktro text scroller: a spoof of the crack intros that were common among pirated computer games, especially on platforms popular in Europe, such as the Amiga and Commodore 64. The text humorously references both coding for 38 hours straight and finishing the intro in 12 minutes. Allegedly, the release of Darwinia on the Steam platform was delayed for several hours when a Valve employee saw the intro and believed there had been a security breach.[7]
- The Matrix: one intro features green Darwinians dropping from the top of the screen to form a logo, a reference to The Matrix (See Matrix digital rain).
- Real-time Raytracer: another cracktro-style intro featuring a raytraced scene of spinning spheres. This was a popular effect in many old demo scene productions.
- Cannon Fodder: a black screen displaying the text "This game is not in any way endorsed by Sensible Software" while the beginning of the theme from Cannon Fodder plays. The text is a reference to the message that shows at the start of Cannon Fodder, "This game is not in any way endorsed by the Royal British Legion." Some see this as an acknowledgement of Cannon Fodder's influence on Darwinia.
- ZX Spectrum: one of the intros is designed to look like the ZX Spectrum when loading a tape-based game.
- Life: a simulation of the cellular automaton game of Life in which Darwinians live, die and spread in a grid based on just a few basic rules.
- MBTI intro: this intro scrolls through the four dichotomies on a Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, listing introversion last as it is the name of the developer.
- Nominated for Best Game in the GameShadow Innovation in Games Awards 2006
- Scored 90% from PC Gamer UK and reached number 21 on its 'Top 100 PC Games' list.
- Scored 8.5 in GameSpot's review.
- "Has to be played" from PC Review
- Darwinia won the Seumas McNally Grand Prize, Technical Excellence, and Innovation in Visual Art awards at the 2006 Independent Games Festival.
- Earned a 5 out of 5 on X-Play.
- New Age Gaming magazine awarded Darwinia a score of 97, its highest ever, and an Editor's Choice award. No other game has exceeded 96 as of June 2007. A scan of the review can be found on the official site.[8] It also received a video review included on NAG's cover DVD.

I am not a Utahn. This is not a scone.
Unfortunately, neither of those statements is true. I have lived in Utah for over ten years, ever since I came here for college. I didn't plan to stay, in fact I couldn't wait to graduate and get the hell out. But then I met a boy and fell in love. And so I stayed.
Turns out Salt Lake City is a really, really great city. I've come to love it and it has become my home. For some reason, however, I've still had a hard time fully embracing the fact that I am from here now, that I am no longer an outsider.
Now, about these scones. You're probably thinking, that is not a scone. And you'd be right, and you'd be wrong. This is not the classic scone, the sweeter cousin to the biscuit, the one we're all familiar with. This is a Utah creation, a flattened ball of dough deep-fried and topped with sweet toppings like honey and jam.
Not the healthiest treat, no, definitely not. But there's definitely a reason why it's so popular here. The recipe I used is a conglomeration of recipes my mother-in-law gathered for me from some local cookbooks and family recipe boxes, and scaled down to a more realistic yield for two people.
I topped the hot scones with powdered sugar and a generous scoop of cinnamon honey butter. It got a little messy, and a little sticky. It was wonderful.
I'm not sure why it's taken me so long to make these myself. Maybe I thought it would mean that I had given in to Utah. And maybe I have. I've embraced the scone (okay, more than embraced, these things are fried heaven), and I think it's time to embrace my inner Utahn.
Utah Scones
Makes approximately 8 scones
View printable recipe
2 cups flour
1/2 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons butter, melted
3/4 – 1 cup warm water
Oil for frying
Powdered sugar
Cinnamon honey butter, recipe below
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Add the melted butter and 3/4 cup warm water. Mix with a spoon until dough comes together into a ball. Dough should be moist but not sticky. Use remaining 1/4 water if needed. Cover dough and let rest for one hour.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium high heat to 375 degrees F. Oil should be at least 2 inches deep.
Meanwhile, roll out the scones. Pinch off a tablespoon sized ball of dough and roll it out on a lightly floured surface with a rolling pin. Stretch and pull with your hands if necessary. Dough should be about 1/4 inch thick. Continue with the rest of the dough.
When oil has reach 375 degrees, place first scone gently into the oil. Scone will bubble vigorously in the oil and puff up. Fry until golden brown on first side, about 2 minutes, then flip over. Once both sides are browned, remove from the oil and place on a paper bag lined sheet pan to cool slightly.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve immediately with the cinnamon honey butter or other desired topping. Repeat with remaining scone dough.
Cinnamon Honey Butter
Makes approximately 1 cup
1 cup butter, at room temperature
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Combine all ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat until smooth. Store in the refrigerator.

Omg, wat an interesting scones..
cwdurbin says:
Looks and sounds almost like a sopapilla. Yummm!
Laura (Blogging Over Thyme) says:
These look dangerous and delectable! Never heard of these before, thanks for sharing
Crystal says:
I have to make these!! Will post about it when I do! BTW I am in SLC too, well I moved from there too Tooele, but my family is there and we visit often. Thanks again for yummy stuff!
Tiffany- Food Finery says:
ok girlie i LOVE utah scones!!! 2 things… 1) i use yeast (is that weird???) and 2) you're never supposed to measure or roll you just rip it off and pull it a little before frying! i am happy you decided to make here home <3
Mark says:
I remember these and "Scones". Didn't realize they were unique to Utah, but I haven't seen any of them since leaving Utah. I just figured that the other scones were just a different kind. As I remember we always used yeast, basically they were made from bread dough and fried. There was no measuring the dough nor rolling them out, mom would give us each a piece of dough and we'd form it however we wanted (usually the traditional shape). Don't know if I'll make them now, (probably not a good idea since I'm diabetic) but boy do I have fond memories…..
Kassey says:
I wish I would have read this before making, they turned out much more dense than the ones we get in the restaurants here. My husband is military so we are not from Utah but have lived here almost 6 years and today he wanted scones from Sil's cafe in Layton and these were just not the same
Kalyn says:
I do understand those feelings about not wanting to say you're from Utah. I feel that way myself at time, but mostly I like it.
And I have never made Utah scones, but they look amazing.
And very fun meeting the guy who got you to stay in Utah; he seems great!
Emily says:
These sound a lot like something we have where I live called fry bread. Very original name, I know. They are fantastic with berry jam!
Isabelle @ Crumb says:
Yum! I'd never heard of Utah scones, but they look delicious. They kind of remind me of the Spanish olive oil tortas I sometimes buy at the fancy-shmancy store as a treat (I refuse to deep-fry at home… I'm afraid that if I start, I'll never stop, and then I'll be 500lbs).
I guess most cultures have at least one dessert based on the concept that dough + oil + sugar = delicious!
Jessica Johns says:
The lady who ran the daycare I went to as a kid used to make these! (I grew up in Idaho, and I'm sure these aren't isolated to Utah, tehe.) I loved them, especially with homemade raspberry jam. We always called them scones… I didn't even know the other kind of scones existed until I got into cooking! I've been looking for a recipe for a long time… thanks for sharing!
Taste and Tell says:
I didn't intend to stay in Utah, either, but here I am!! These are my husband's favorite, and we have them for Christmas morning every year. Love them!
Sarah@AlpinePoppy says:
Oh my heck! You are totally from Utah now
Cookin' Canuck says:
I had the same experience. We moved here about 12 years ago and were certain that we would have moved on about 5 years later. Not the case! It took me awhile to wrap my head around the Utah scone thing, but must say they are a great treat, particularly drizzled (or drenched) in honey.
grace says:
utahn. that's fun.
i don't like scones as a rule, but i've neither seen nor tasted scones like these. i'm intrigued!
Jenn says:
Now these are the scones that I grew up eating. When I got into cooking and saw these "other scones" that were more like biscuits I was so confused? I had no idea it was a Utah thing?
Suzy says:
I had 'scones' for the first time when my family and I visited Utah when I was 5, and any scone since then has paled in comparison..I don't want a biscuit…I want a scone…I want this scone. Can't wait to try the recipe!
Brinlee says:
I'm a Utahn, living in Las Vegas. I know exactly how you feel. I've felt that same way about this place. Anyway, I googled scones looking for the Utah recipe, and had no idea what that other thing was that kept coming up so THANK YOU for posting this!! I would have been lost. They look delicious and I can't wait to make them! Thanks again!
shirley elizabeth says:
How funny – I thought I knew quite a bit about Utah, being an Arizonan myself, but I've never heard this called Utah Scones. It's Indian Fry Bread, and the best part about hiking down into the Grand Canyon. Also, if you make them bigger, they're delicious for Indian Tacos.
Ummm… drooling my mouth out over here! Yum YUM!
Rachel says:
LOL my husband was born and raised in SLC and we lived there for 8 years. I never felt like I fit there and we ended up back in the Midwest. It is an interesting place when it comes to food, though. They call small elephant ears scones and they have meat pies that are unique to Utah.
We usually buy frozen bread dough, thaw it, pinch chunks off and flatten them, then fry them.
A says:
These are not native to Utah, they are knock-offs of sopapillas. Regardless, they look delicious.
Stephanie says:
This post relates to me on so many levels. 1. I ordered a "scone" in Utah, received a Utah "scone" and was mystified! 2. I also met a boy and am now in Utah. =) 3. I still feel an outsider though and haven't yet fully embraced that I'm currently in Utah. Not sure how long it'll take me?
Annalise says:
Don't worry, I still feel like that sometimes too. I definitely felt more like I belonged once I stopped focusing on a few negative things I was still holding on to. Now I'm proud to be a Utahn!
Grady says:
I have been eating and making this bread dough for over 60 years, we call it bannock and it is great in dutch ovens, on a stick over fire coals, Navajo taco's, scones, etc. Most of the basic ingredients and how to make this bread came from our grandparents here in the west that crossed the plains in the days of the pioneers and brought this basic bread knowledge with them from Europe and the British Isles. As a survival food it is hard to beat.
Josh says:
I am 36 years old and from the West (California, Hawaii, Idaho, and now Utah) and today is the first day that I have–in my life–heard that there is another type of scone other than this so-called "Utah scone" … My son brought a biscuit with fruit home from preschool and said "we made scones at school" and I mockingly laughed in his sweet little face."That's not a scone!" I declared. "That's some sort of biscuit thingy. Scones are wonderful deep fried things youdrench with honey butter. I'll show you a picture of a scone!" Then I Googled it and found that my entire life has been a lie (at least where scones are concerned). My mind is blown. This is like the time I was living in Belgium and they asked me if I had ever tried their little "sprouts" … "Yes," I said, "but we call them Brussel spr- ooooooh."

Cy Raker Endfield, Stanley Baker, Jack Hawkins, Ulla Jacobsson
Stiff-upper-lip bravery in a fight against overwhelming odds is celebrated in director Cy Endfield's widescreen extravaganza Zulu, based on the real-life story of a small group of British soldiers in 1879 who defended a mission station in Natal, Africa against an attack by 4000 Zulu warriors. There are some nice performances here, including Michael Caine in his breakthrough role as a smug, aristocratic British officer, and Stanley Baker as a gutsy British engineer who takes command of the small outpost. The Zulu tribe, however, is represented only by a vast number of warriors, never introduced individually. This portrayal of the Zulus as a faceless enemy has lead to criticism of the movie as a romanticized depiction of British imperialism, and it's a valid point, as the film steadfastly ignores any political issues involving the history of the British presence in Africa. But despite the film's Anglocentricity, it splendidly captures the spectacle of the Zulu army -- the magnificence of their dress, battlefield rituals, and chants. Moreover, the choral grandeur of the native African music that is sung during an extended opening scene of a Zulu wedding simply overwhelms the typically Western musical score that follows. By the time the surrounded soldiers start singing "Men of Harlech" in response to the chanting of the Zulu warriors, Zulu takes on layers of irony that may indeed have been unintended, but are powerful and thought provoking nonetheless.

With the news today that the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 midnight movie launch in the US last night has broken the record for the biggest midnight opening of all time, taking in $43.5 million in box office sales, anyone wanting to prolong the magical (no pun intended!) experience of watching the film a little longer should dash out and get the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 video game which was also released this week on all major consoles, including the Wii. Just like the film, the game's explosive finale features all of the iconic moments and locations from the conclusion of Harry Potter's journey, and enable fans to step into Harry's shoes as he faces off against Voldemort and his dark forces for the final time.
In the game, the player gets to assume the role of their favourite wizard hero, as each play a vital part in the battle to defeat the Dark Lord. Play as Harry, Hermoine, Ron, Ginny, Seamus, Neville, Molly Weasley and Professor McGonagall in the final battle of Hogwarts. New enhanced gameplay features have been added to this last game in EA's successful series, including an all-new spell casting mechanic and intuitive cover system, ensuring that the experience of duelling the most fearsome and formidable characters of the wizarding world has never been more realistic.
Source: EA Play"We have been closely linked with the Harry Potter film sensation since its inception, and look forward to playing a key part in the entertainment event of the decade," says Harvey Elliott, GM at EA Bright Light. "We have worked extremely hard to deliver to fans the experience that they've always wanted – the opportunity to play not only as Harry, but as other key characters from the fiction as well. This game provides fans the most authentic and engaging Harry Potter gaming experience possible, and places you on the front lines for the final battle of Hogwarts."
