Jazz up your jewelry, wardrobe, or scrapbooks with these Spot On Needle Felted Beads. These needle felting instructions from Lindsay Obermeyer are easy to follow...and this is a great way for beginners to fall in love with needle felting!
- 1 package each of Clover's Natural Wool Roving in Chocolate, Mint, Moss Green and Off White
- 1 Clover Needle Felting Claw & Mat Cleaner
- 1 Clover Needle Felting Mat (small)
- 1 Clover Pen Style Needle Felting Tool
- 1 1" biscuit cutter
- Put your biscuit cutter on the mat and press it slightly into the surface to keep it stable. Pull a tuft of the roving . Gently roll it into a ball shape and stuff it into your biscuit cutter.
- Using your needle felting tool, begin punching down the roving. Move from the center to the edge of the circle and back. I hold the biscuit cutter with one hand while punching with the other. Once you have a fairly uniform surface, lift up the biscuit cutter and flip it over and felt from the other side using the same process. Continue until the bead is flat like a pancake and about 1/4 inch thick.
- Remove the biscuit cutter form. Hold the bead in place with the claw in one hand and continue felting with the tool along the edge of the bead to firm up the sides.
- When the bead feels dense and firm, pull a thin tuft of a contrasting color and lay it across the surface.
- Remove one of the needles from the needle felting tool. Punch down in the center of the tuft to begin attaching it to the bead. Twirl the tuft of roving around the needle and continue punching it into place.
- It will soon form a dot. Continue punching around the edge until the dot it is round and dense.
- You now have a bead! You may add another dot to the flip side if you wish.
- Glue your new creation on a pin. Thread it onto a cord. Add it to a jacket zipper. There are many possibilities!

Finally breaking his public silence since his June 13 acquittal on all 10 counts in his child-molestation case, Michael Jackson has posted a message on his official Web site in which he says that his family, fans and God helped him through his four-month trial.
"Your love, support and loyalty made it all possible. You were there when I really needed you. I will never forget you," says the statement, which went up on Sunday.
"Your ever-present love held me, dried my tears, and carried me through. I will treasure your devotion and support forever. You are my inspiration." It is signed, "Love, Michael Jackson."
Last week, Jackson's mother, Katherine Jackson, told NBC's Today that when the words "not guilty" were announced in the courtroom, "I just hugged (Michael) and cried and he hugged me. And I said, 'At last they saw the truth.'"
She maintains that her 46-year-old son is 100 percent innocent. As for those who might not agree with her, she said: "Some people believe what they want to believe. I can't stop that."
Michael Jackson Breaks Silence, Gives Thanks

HPHarry KimDirector, WW Health and Life Sciences Vision for Personalized Medicine
How has your company adapted and responded to the changing economic climate in the past five years when so many others companies did not?
The convergence of bioscience innovations, technology capabilities, and the ageing population has pressured the health and life sciences value chain to transform. Bringing together diverse data sets from biosciences, pharmaceuticals, healthcare providers, and payer communities to create new insights requires collaboration enabled by information management capabilities. HP delivers the technology that powers genomic and proteomic research, speeds deliver of new pharmaceutical agents, and improves quality of care through our Digital Hospital Solution.
What is your vision for the future of the life sciences market?
Today, the health and life sciences industry represents a $3.3 trillion value chain. Unfortunately, over 1/3 or $1 trillion is waste (non value added procedures, duplicative efforts, manual processes, mistakes). Technology will play a key role in addressing the waste and improving quality of care. The emerging "perfect storm" of the aging population, pervasiveness of technology/internet, advancements in biosciences, cost burden to individuals and businesses, and increased regulatory environment will fuel a step-function increase in technology adoption. Over the next few years, technology adoption (or lack of adoption) will become either a strategic asset or a strategic liability for health organizations and the customers they serve.
Beyond just doing things more efficiently, the industry will begin to transform the way it manages and delivers health. We recognize that an individual's health is determined by four factors: the genes you are born with; the lifestyle you lead; the environment in which you live; and the healthcare you receive. This concept of personalized medicine (integrating your genetic profile, personal health history, lifestyle, and clinical medical record) will not only improve an individual's health outcomes, but will shift our view of health management — from "sickcare" to proactive health management.
What products and services does your company provide and what special capabilities do they offer the life sciences market?
We are investing in solutions to one of the nation's leading challenges — it is nothing less that transforming the way healthcare is delivered: improving the quality, value, and accessibility of healthcare. No other technology company offers the technology breadth and go-to-market coverage. Examples of some of the technologies HP provides for the life sciences market include:
Products and Services — enterprise portfolio of server, storage, software, workstations, mobile devices, and printing capabilities with associated consulting and management services
Solutions — combinations of HP and partner products and services to address a specific business need or requirement. (e.g. eMedical Records, Digital Hospital, Product Tracking & Authentication, HP Medical Archive Solution)
Technology — portfolio of IP and technology products (e.g. micro-fluidics, nano-technology)
Partnerships are an effective way to track life science advances and ensure that your company delivers timely products and services. Which life sciences companies or organizations have you partnered with or invested in and why?
The industry is not looking for point solutions to point problems… it is looking for better integration and information management of the data/tools that are in practice today. HP primarily partners (not competes) with industry leading application providers who can help us provide the most comprehensive solution to improve quality of care and create new ways for healthcare to take advantage of IT.
HP's technology fuels industry leading application providers (Cerner, McKesson, Siemens). Example of key customers/partnerships include:
What are your most exciting products and initiatives in development?
HP's Digital Hospital solution unites people, processes, and technology onto a common platform. Hospital staff members use advanced information systems to document patient records, enter and process orders, interact with patients, and access image files, creating a more productive, secure, and safe environment for both patients and healthcare professionals.
HP is fueling the personalized medicine frontier. Integrating research (genomic and proteomic) data with clinical data requires a robust and scalable technology platform; HP's Digital Hospital is key in enabling this integration.
Where do you see your company in five years?
HP as the trusted, technology leader in bringing innovative solutions that improve the operational efficiencies while delivering better quality of care. HP helps to transform the way health is managed and delivered measured by improved health outcomes.

Last week, I received an email from Andrew, the Director of Sales from Cinderella Sweets - the makers of the Shabtai Gourmet line baked goods asking if I would review their products. After reading the email, I was up in the air on whether I should do it. I spoke with Ant about it, and he pointed out that it was a good idea for the following reasons:
- It's a local company. That there aren't that many manufacturers left in New York City. Plus, we try to eat local produce and meats/poultry, so we should eat local processed foods;
- It's a Kosher company, specifically the products are Kosher for Passover & Kosher Parve. Neither Ant and I are Jewish, but we live and work in areas that have large Jewish populations. When Passover comes around, all of our supermarkets become a playground for the gluten-free. Last year, I was able to get a huge variety of pastas, starches, cake mixes, and baked goods at my local Stop and Shop during the holidays. Both Anthony and I remember Shabtai Gourmet boxes in the bakery area of the Kosher for Passover section of our Stop and Shop. Plus, as a wee one, I wasn't able to have any dairy products and my mom looked and bought baked goods based on the Kosher Parve (certified Kosher non-dairy) symbol.
- Their foods are Gluten Free, Casein Free, Lactose Free, Soy Free, and Dairy Free.
So, I decided to email back Andrew to do the review since the products are both local and convenient! Andrew sent me over a variety of goods:
- Ring Tings;
- Brownie Bites;
- Meltaway Cookies;
- Florentine Lace Cookies;
- Lady Fingers;
- Jelly Roll;
- Pread Crumbs
Oh, what do we try first?

Funding Unsuccessful
This project's funding goal was not reached on June 24, 2012.
The Blog Peoria Project encourages people to write about stuff that matters in their neighborhoods. The MSM isn't doing it. We will.
This project's funding goal was not reached on June 24, 2012.
The Blog Peoria Project is an Internet-based, neighborhood-centered community journalism project. Peoria is served by a daily newspaper, The Peoria Journal Star (owned by GateHouse Media), which has dumped all but a handful of its reporters. Two of television stations have completely merged operations. A third handles the news for the fourth. Neighborhood news has dwindled to nearly nothing. We will pick up the slack. We have a main news site that does the in-depth reporting the mainstream media will not do. We offer blogs for anyone in the city who needs one. We offer the technical help the others do not, as well as the journalism mentoring others can not provide (one of the organizers has more than 20 years experience as a reporter and editor in small daily and weekly newspapers). We need support for Internet access and site hosting, as well as professional site development through wpmu.com.
Have a question? If the info above doesn't help, you can ask the project creator directly.

Do April snow showers bring May dead flowers?
Weather forecasters say it'll do more than shower snow today. More like two to four inches.
But the flowers should come through just fine, said Rick Lewandowski, curator at the Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania.
A spring snowfall won't create significant problems for people, either, because ``most of the snow on the roads will just melt,'' said Accu-Weather meteorologist Laura Anderson. ``On lawns and other non-paved surfaces there could be a couple of inches.''

- mangetout – the whole pod is eaten with tiny underdeveloped peas inside
- shelling peas - these are round (for early peas) or wrinkled (for summer peas & are sweeter)
Peas grow best in the first half of the year when it is not too hot.
Sow every 2 weeks from March until July for a continual supply.
Sow seeds thinly in drills 5cm (2in) deep, allowing 45-60cm (18-24in) between the rows.
Site – sunny as soil needs to be warm for peas – so cover with polythene if cold.
Soil - deep & rich with well rotted manure or compost dug in the previous
Weed rows regularly.
Support plants when 8-10cm (3-4in) tall, with twiggy sticks or netting.
Water twice a week during flowering and pod development to help fill the peas in the pod.
Pick mangetout when the pods are small, flat and stringless – just as the peas inside start to develop. Pick shelling peas when the pods start to swell & the peas are a good size, but before the pods change colour & the peas go hard.

KAHULUI - Auditions for the new University of Hawaii Maui College Institute of Hawaiian Music, a two-year program to train and to mentor budding Hawaiian performers in the ways of the industry and music, are set for Oct. 21 and 22.
Following the auditions, 25 musicians will be selected to be taught and guided and to have opportunities to jam with some of Hawaii's legendary Hawaiian music performers, including George Kahumoku Jr., who is the director of the program, Dennis Kamakahi, Ken Emerson, Owana Salazar, Brother Noland and others.
The comprehensive Hawaiian music program, funded by a grant from the Department of Labor, begins in the spring semester at UH-MC. The curriculum includes courses in music theory, composition, stagecraft, ukulele and guitar, along with classes in Hawaiian mythology, Hawaiian language and hula.
Digital music production, including the use of mobile applications, also will be covered, and students will have many opportunities to play live with Kahumoku and other participating artists, such as Willie K, Richard Ho'opi'i and Herb Otta Jr.
The program culminates in a final show and the production of a full-length, commercial CD.
"We can't wait to hear the talent I know is out there," said Kahumoku. "It's exciting for student musicians with a love for Hawaiian music and for the artist mentors passing down the tradition. We're all going to grow and learn together."
All applicants may register online for the audition at www.maui.hawaii.edu/ihm by Oct. 20. Applicants will have a 6-minute time limit to introduce themselves, present a brief background of their performance piece and then perform their song or medley of songs. Musicians must bring their own instruments and cords to plug into an amplifier; a keyboard will be provided if needed.
Aloha wear appropriate for a "gig" meets the dress code.
Auditions will be held Oct. 21, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Oct. 22, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. After registering, applicants will be assigned a day, with the audition order on that day determined on a first-come, first-served basis. Those auditioning are urged to arrive early.
Institute mentors and staff will make the selections, which will be announced toward the end of the month.
Classes begin in early January.
* Hawaiian music auditions. A headline for a story in the Community section on Page D1 on Wednesday incorrectly referred to the University of Hawaii Maui College's Institute of Hawaiian Music as "Hawaiian Music Institute."
There is a separate Hawaiian Music Institute, a school in Lahaina that teaches reading and writing of music and publishes books of Henry Kaleialoha Allen.
The Maui News apologizes for the error.

Happy Birthday to my LC-A... with an Imation 100 Film!2012-06-26 4 12 Share Tweet
This year is the 28th birthday of the Lomo LC-A. My trusty little jewel is also 18 years old! So, I made a great "gift" to my camera, and loaded it with a rare expired film: a roll of Imation 100 ISO! I had great results with the film so check the photos out after the jump!
The Imation 100 ISO film may actually be a production from Ferrania. My roll was expired for 14 years! Some weeks ago, as an 18th birthday gift for my Lomo LC-A camera, I used this film for the first time. This roll was housed in a shelf of my photo shop in Como, who donated to me this wonderful film!
I used it during a short walk along the pedestrian way from my home to the awesome Villa Olmo in Como. After developed it, I have had a great surprise! I obtained great colors! The purple tones in the sky are wonderful! No cross processing!
Because this film was expired from 14 years, I selected the option 50 ISO on the Lomo LC-A (a long time expired film loses approximately 1 stop of sensitivity every 10 years).
Great and vivid green tones! And the LC-A vignetting add a touch of "magic" to these photos!
The last winter was very cold, so some trees are now dead…
The film has still a good contrast after so many years! And the pose latitude is still good!
Other images of "my" lake:
A great birthday present for my LC-A camera!
The Lomo LC-A is the camera that started the Lomography movement. With full controls and wide ISO range, this automatic gem is perfect for beginners and professionals alike. Get your own Refurbished LC-A in our Shop!

DETROIT — Albert ``Buddy'' Miley of Warminster had a needle mark in his left forearm, and was not alone when he died in a Livonia, Mich., hotel room, said officials investigating his apparent assisted suicide.
Miley, 41, a quadriplegic who was paralyzed 23 years ago playing football for William Tennent High School in Bucks County, was found dead Wednesday in the hotel outside Detroit.
A note found near his body referred questions to Dr. Jack Kevorkian's attorney, Geoffrey Fieger.
Fieger refused to say whether Kevorkian, the former pathologist who has acknowledged helping at least four dozen people end their lives, was involved.

• Regional infusion chemotherapy delivers higher drug concentrations to the tumor than other methods and may decrease systemic drug levels. We evaluated the efficacy of degradable starch microspheres (DSMs) to further increase drug delivery to hepatic tumors. Rabbits implanted with hepatic Vx-2 tumors were treated with hepatic arterial infusion of doxorubicin hydrochloride labeled with carbon 14 with and without DSMs. Tissue levels of doxorubicin were measured in the heart, liver, and tumor 30 minutes after drug infusion. Blood drug levels, as well as biliary and renal excretion rates of doxorubicin, were determined. In rabbits receiving the drug alone, doxorubicin uptake by the tumor and liver were 17.1±12.8 and 55.3±9.5 nmol/g of wet weight tissue (mean±SD), respectively. In rabbits receiving doxorubicin mixed with DSMs, the tumor and hepatic drug levels were 59.7±24.9 and 50.7±4.8 nmol/g, respectively. The tumor drug level was significantly higher in the group that received DSMs compared with the group that received only the drug; the hepatic drug uptake was unchanged. Peak blood and cardiac drug levels were decreased by the coinfusion of drug and DSMs, suggesting that tumor response rates may be improved and systemic toxicity diminished by the use of DSMs in regional infusion chemotherapy.

There will come a day when your darling little boy will come to you with a question. You'll see it coming and you'll think, "So. The moment of truth has arrived." Your little boy will turn his face to yours and ask, "Mommy, why isn't Spider-Man in The Avengers?"
Spider-Man has been an Avenger. In the comic books and cartoons Spidey has joined forces with Iron Man, Captain America, and The Hulk. But he's not part of the latest Marvel Avenger team which includes Hawkeye, Black Widow, The Hulk, Captain America, Iron Man, and Thor.
It sure would be fun to see Spider-Man linked into the Marvel Universe.
But the truth is, Sony owns Spider-Man and Disney owns The Avengers. In a perfect world we wouldn't have to worry about who owns the rights to all the Marvel franchises. But we don't live in a perfect world. And, I'm sorry, but that's what you're going to have to tell your son.
Take heart! There are two more Spidey movies in the works now through Sony. Andrew Garfield has breathed new life into the series and the spoiler-y photos from the film set with Emma Stone dressed in Gwen Stacy's iconic death outfit have left fans as eager as ever to find out how the story will unfold.
Elsewhere in the Marvel Universe, Thor's Dark World is grossing over 86 million dollars at the box office, Captain America's Winter Soldier will be released this April, and The Avengers are poised for a reunion in 2015. The X-Men, who have also served as Avengers from time to time, are licensed by Fox. X-Men: Days of Future Past rolls out this May.

Make your business presentations stand out with these programs.
Presentations are a must for small business owners. But your pitch doesn't have to fall into the PowerPoint trap.
"PowerPoint presentations have become mundane and often carry a negative connotation," says Allie Danziger, president of IntegratePR, a social media and public relations agency in Houston. "Veering from PowerPoint is often seen as cutting edge, and can really capture the audience's attention."
Whether you're pitching to new clients or presenting an idea to your team, don't let your message blend with the noise. Consider one of these platforms to make your message stick.
1. SlideRocket
This Web-based platform stores presentations on the cloud and allows you to insert media directly from YouTube, Flickr or your personal library with ease. Its integration with Google Docs and PowerPoint make it easy to access your presentation on the go, says Raj Shah, a web marketing consultant out of Chicago.
You can promote presentations with social media, include word tags for search engine optimization, and upgrade to SlideRocket Pro to access analytics and work offline.
Disadvantage: Presentations accessed with SlideRocket for iOS mobile devices cannot be edited—only viewed.
Price: SlideRocket Lite: Free; SlideRocket Pro: $24/user/mo.

2. Prezi
Prezi is a virtual whiteboard that combines simple design with intricate movement, presenting ideas as visual metaphors. For example, you can present reaching a new goal as climbing a mountain. With four video tutorials under their "Learn" tab, beginners can grasp the basics—and the more advanced features—in minutes.
Presentations are stored on the cloud or on your desktop, and you can collaborate with others in real time. Plus, you can easily transfer previously created presentations from PowerPoint to Prezi format.
Disadvantage: Adding too many animations can be overwhelming to an audience.
Price: Prezi offers three "licenses" varying in price:
- Public license: free.
- Enjoy license: $4.92/mo. Private presentations, more storage, include company logo.
- Pro license: $13.25/mo. Access offline with Prezi Desktop.
3. Keynote
Apple's Keynote works on both Mac and PC desktops and is also offered as a mobile app for iPhone, iPad and iTouch. Visually similar to PowerPoint, it is a simple switch—even for the most novice user.
Disadvantages: No access to other users' past presentations for inspiration and template use.
Price: Free. $9.99 for the iOS app
RELATED: Using iPads for Presentations and More
4. Google Drive
Google Drive offers collaboration at its finest: You can share and edit presentations with others in real time. With Google, you can control who can and can't make changes to the presentation.
Robert J. Moore, CEO of RJMetrics, a software development company in Philadelphia, says new users can transition quickly because of the similarities to PowerPoint, and "the cloud-based collaboration saves us the hassle of emailing multiple versions of large files."
Disadvantages: Without many of the bells and whistles of other alternatives, presentations are simple and aren't as visually interesting.
Price: Free

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) -- The Meadowlands Sports Complex has new rules regarding alcohol and fan behavior.
Tailgate parties can only start five hours before games instead of seven. Season ticketholders who are ejected from the stadium or arena will have their tickets revoked.
Another new effort will have banners hung on the stadium's spiral ramps to prevent fans from harassing women. Security at Gate D had to be increased last season during Jets games when hundreds of men would gather at halftime and demand that women expose their breasts.
Unchanged is the halftime cutoff for alcohol sales.
The moves were announced Tuesday by the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority.

WASHINGTON — The doctor who rebuilt the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey's neurosurgery department was sworn in Tuesday as the president of the American Medical Association, vowing to help guide the nation's doctors through the sea change of health care reform.
Peter Carmel, a 74-year-old pediatric neurosurgeon, wants to ensure that his fellow doctors don't panic while reform – a political and economic transformation – ripples outward from Washington.
"It's a process of change they don't think they have any control over," he said. "They're afraid of the changes it will have on the way they practice medicine. I think it's important that the AMA teaches doctors how to participate in affordable care."
A native New Yorker who still lives in Manhattan, Carmel becomes only the second New Jersey doctor to head the AMA. He came to Newark in 1994 after 31 years at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center to resuscitate UMDNJ's once-vaunted neurosurgery department.
The ensuing years have brought the program into national renown. The five hand-picked surgeons on his staff have become a destination for New Jersey patients with spine and brain maladies, as well as the most-published department at the university, according to Carmel. They solve the most confounding problems in the most complex organs in the human body.
The department also has a distinguished track record of treating the underserved. No one is denied care based on insurance or lack thereof, Carmel said. Because they take all comers, the surgeons are busy, practiced and extremely successful with the most difficult cases – from tumors, to strokes, to brain injuries, he said.
"We take everybody," Carmel said.
His success with the department has prepared him for leading the national organization, said Chirag Gandhi, an endovascular neurosurgeon on Carmel's staff.
"I think he's the right man for the job, at such a unique moment in history," he said. "It's amazing how much knowledge he's accumulated over a lifetime."
Jeremy Lazarus, a psychiatrist from Colorado and the AMA's president-elect, said Carmel is a gifted spokesman with excellent leadership qualities.
"He speaks for all physicians," Lazarus said. "I'm sure Dr. Carmel is well up to the challenge."
To make time for his new duties, Carmel has slowed his surgery schedule and will step down as chairman of the department when a replacement is found. He will still perform the occasional operation and care for his prior patients, he said. Most of his days will be working on behalf of the AMA.
"The job I'm doing as president," he said, "is the same I've always been doing: teaching."

Really not digging how the new uniques (legendaries) stats differ so little, now the value isn't neccisarily in the "perfect stats" part of it seeing that some of these uniques all have the same dps while some vary .1-.3 dps, thats like a "30% chance of Perfect item", but now the value is all in the Random Modifier.
Also it seems like there are so few legendaries that every one will be using basically the same items at 60 and know exactly what item it is before its unidentified.
Oh well it is still early and im sure they are adding tons more items

Sep 12, 2011mumba_kik posted a message on Ask a Beta PlayerAre base stats (i.e. base damage/armor, enhanced damage/armor) going to be in Diablo 3?Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
I've looked through some screen shots and it appears that some legendary items can have different Modifiers, but not sure if they have different base stats.
It's just kind of confusing looking at it through a Diablo 2 perspective where all uniques had the same Modifiers, but varying stats like base armor/damage, and enhanced armor/damage.
How are legendary items different than unique items?
Anyways hopefully someone can answer this, thanks!.

Aug 8, 2011mumba_kik posted a message on PvP in Diablo 3I for one understand them not wanting to balance from an "eSport" perspective. I have no problem with that seeing that you can reroll another character to max within a week or two eventually. What I have a problem with is the Arenas going from Last Man Standing, to Deathmatch for seemingly no reason.Posted in: News & Announcements
The two types drive two very different train of thoughts, one gives incentives to do whatever you can to not die, including resource and cooldown management. While gives incentives to do a more damage based gameplay based on barreling down your opponents HP.
Granted we do not know how the game will play out and we don't know all the abilities and skills yet, it's safe to assume that proper cooldown and resource management would be the skill that sets better players apart. That's the whole point of the matchmaking and ladder system.
There is a large difference between blowing all your cooldowns and playing a more Do more damage than they deal to me before I die type Deathmatch, than an Avoid damage all together and use proper cooldowns to get the kill cleanly while the other team is trying to do the same.
Last Man Standing rewards a more meticulous thought out gameplan and cooldown/resource usage, while Deathmatch does not. In the end the better players will come ahead regardless, but I wouldn't be at all suprised if blowing all your cooldowns and button mashing sometimes comes ahead of mechanics.
The correct PvP Enviroment should be that which ALWAYS favors mechanics, which deathmatch may not. But my bigger question is WHY change from Last Man Standing to Deathmatch? What made DM their choice?

I get the whole they don't want class balance under a microscope because of arena but what a fucking joke. What will people do once they "beat" pve? do it again? The only reason D2 was played passed 02' was for PvP, how does blizzard not understand this? At the VERY least, balanced or not, they could at least turn it back to Last Man Standing instead of Deathmatch, re-spawning during arena is a fucking joke.Posted in: News & Announcements

IEA Reviews Austria's Energy Policy
9 April 2014: A review by the International Energy Agency (IEA) gives Austria high marks for its integrated approach to security of energy supply, energy efficiency and renewable energy sources. The report, titled 'Energy Policies of IEA Countries – Austria 2014 Review,' analyzes the energy policy challenges facing the country and offers recommendations for further policy improvement.
The report highlights several important trends that have unfolded since the IEA's last in-depth review, published in 2008, including slow economic growth and an increased impact on climate policy on Austria's energy sector. It also notes the ongoing decarbonization of the economy and an expanded focus on the security of supply from oil to natural gas and, more recently, electricity.
IEA recommends three actions that the Government of Austria could take to achieve a more secure and sustainable energy future. First, it recommends the development of a post-2020 energy and climate strategy that integrates security of supply and internal market dimensions using domestic and EU-wide measures. It further notes the need for the strategy to be designed in the context of an EU 2030 framework on energy and climate. Second, it suggests that concerns over energy prices and costs should be addressed through the promotion of energy efficiency and greater retail market competition. Third, it calls for a continued drive towards cross-border integration of both electricity and natural gas markets, with special attention to cooperation with neighboring countries; investments in networks; optimization of demand response; and cost-effective integration of variable renewable energy supply.
In addition to annexes containing energy statistics and other supplemental information, the report provides targeted analyses in the following sectors: natural gas; coal; oil; electricity; renewable energy; district heating; and combined heat and power production. It also contains a section on energy technology research, development and demonstration, noting that public funding for these activities has tripled since 2007.

Kuala Lumpur - Janko Tipsarevic saved Serbian pride on Saturday as he beat Japan's Kei Nishikori 6-4, 6-3 to set up a Malaysian Open final against Marcos Baghdatis.
Cypriot Baghdatis, who was runner-up to Roger Federer in the 2006 Australian Open final, had earlier defeated Serbia's second seed Viktor Troicki 6-3, 6-1, leaving Tipsarevic with a mission on court at the Putra Stadium
Tipsarevic has played -- and beaten -- Nishikori five times this season on hardcourt, clay, grass and now indoors.
The Japanese number one made a run at another upset scenario in the wake of his semi-final defeat of top seed Nicolas Almagro, but Tiposarevic was having none of it.
The Serb closed out the victory in just under two hours as he saved all six break points he faced to nullify the Nishikori attack.
The winner improved to 43-20 on the season as he enters his third 2011 final after Delray Beach and Eastbourne, both of which he lost.
Tipsarevic said he will have to be at the top of his game to claim the title against Baghdatis who has shown a return to form.
"Both Marcos and I are playing good tennis," said the Serb. "I know I have to play like I did today or better to have a chance to win the final tomorrow.
"Marcos is an experienced player -- he will not give me the final, I will have to take it from him and play aggressively.
"I'm here to win one more match -- if not then it's still been a good week overall."
Baghdatis is turning around a disappointing 2011 season in which he has dropped from 20th to 60th, reaching his first final since Moscow a year ago.
"It feels great to be in another final, but there's still one match to go," he said.
"Today was a strange first set from both of us, struggling with our serves.
"But I stayed calm and focused on what I had to and played the important points better in the first set. I'm happy with the way I fought, and to win without spending too much time on court."
Baghdatis has put in a patchy effort since January but he has not lost a set this week in the Malaysian capital on his way to eliminating two seeds, number six Alex Bogomolov and number four Jurgen Melzer.
Baghdatis, winner of four career titles, took just under 90 minutes for his semi-final victory, advancing to the title match on the first of two match points.
The winner saved five of the seven break points he faced while cracking the Troicki serve six times to take a 2-1 lead in their series, with the previous matches played in 2010.
Baghdatis, 26, improved to 25-22 on the season.

To the Editor:
In your answer to the question as to the relative merits of the present intradermal method of vaccination, and its advantages over the old scratch method (The Journal, January 17, p. 223), you failed to mention that one of the chief advantages of the intradermal method is that it gives a much higher percentage of "takes" than vaccination by the so-called "incision" method. This point I (The Journal, Aug. 24, 1918, p. 654) proved rather conclusively as a result of a comparative study of the intradermal and "incision" methods at the time that I devised my original method of intradermal vaccination against smallpox. In my method I injected 0.1 c.c. of virus diluted with equal parts of sterile distilled water. Zinsser also makes note of this point in his most recent textbook of bacteriology (Hiss-Zinsser: A Textbook of Bacteriology, Ed. 5, 1923, p. 899). T. Twyman (J.

Wow, what a great post for motivation...GREAT work guys and gals!
Wow, what a great post for motivation...GREAT work guys and gals!
Wow Rhea you look wonderful, And with PB the weight comes off from all the right places doesn't it?
Lower body has always been a struggle for me , but i see you are doing great and
you look much younger in the Feb 2010 pic compared to your Nov Picture.
PB is like a time machine taking you back to those peak year
coach, LOL, that's exactly right!
Rheia -- holy moly, that is an incredible transition! A trip back in the time machine, just like Aarambh said. Congratulations!
It blows me away how different people look after going primal: like younger and healthier siblings of their former selves.
Nice job folks. I was always in pretty good shape from my Army days but since starting this 3 weeks ago I have shed clos eot 10 lbs in fat and added an additional 3-4 lbs of muscle.
Today is a new day. You will get out of it just what you put into it. If you have made mistakes, there is always another chance for you. And supposing you have tried and failed again and again, you may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call 'Failure' is not the falling down, but the staying down.
Mary Pickford
Thank you all! And yes it does seem to come off all the right places.
I'm still working, I have some to go. Unfortunately when I got pregnant the doctor said "Blah blah 6-11 of grain... for a healthy baby" so even though I was active through my entire pregnancy and thought I was eating healthy I still packed on 60lbs. I was so confused to why I gained so much since I never indulged in my cravings other than once in awhile.
I kept that extra 40lbs on until my son was 8 months old and I discovered the whole primal way of thinking. My weight chart shows my weight finally dropping in October 2009 when I got rid of the grains. I had been on weight watchers and everything and nothing worked, and I hardly ate any refined sugars or white products as for years before going primal I still made sure not to eat too much sugar or white stuff but have enough whole grain as per the 'health pyramid'
Digestive problems that I had developed in college and kept for 7 years (and sent me to the ER multiple times) completely dissipated. They thought I had IBS, then they thought I was lactose intolerant so I was on those little pills before I ate dairy. Now I can eat a little of high fat dairy without any problems and no pills. I was tested for celiacs, etc etc, but came back fine. So obviously my body does not like grains at all.
I feel the best I have ever and I'm so glad I figured it all out. I eat when I'm hungry and average about 100g carbs from veggies, some fruit and some dairy. Seems to be working great for me.
I have my first post baby dance performance tomorrow and it's so nice to be only a few lbs away from my pre-baby body! Although I still have some baby belly, I'm sure that will continue to go away!
I was just thinking about how much younger everyone looks in their photos, too. Wow! Amazing.
Everyone looks amazing, but Rheia, I wanted to say, you're face looks so much healthier too - very beautiful.
@Rheia: Great progress! Keep up the good work and grok on!
Sometimes you need to be told the truth in order to be able to see it.
My journal
I see grain people...
Exist in shadow, drifting away.
@Rheia: WOW! You are doing great, keep up the good work; it's definitely paying off. Congrats.
My whole life, I've felt like an animal......but I've ignored my instincts. I ignored what I really am. That will never happen again.

Allan John Davidson was a minor hockey and baseball coach during the 1970s and 1980s when string of indecent assaults allegedly occurred
TruthTeller: Wow. All the pomp and circumstance. I caught, on CNN, last night, the 1980 debate between Ronald Regan and Jimmy Carter. What a great debate. Issues, issues, issues. No one raising their voices or becoming over demonstrative. Why are there audiences at these debates? There is no earthly reason for it. It detracts from the questioning and the answering; it is a distraction that is not needed. I don't want to see the moderators trying to become a bigger part of the election cycle with "aha" questions or bias. Call me silly, but I would love it if the debates were in the same format as they were in 1980.

Fire cause undetermined
City firefighters were called to Lycoming Supply, 801 Beeber St., when a small shed was discovered ablaze about 1:30 a.m. Wednesday.
The fire was extinguished within 20 minutes. There were no reports of injuries. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
The neighborhood has been plagued with several arson and suspicious fires.
Alleged drive through local
cornfields earns man summons
A DuBoistown man has been charged with causing in excess of $4,000 crop damage by allegedly driving his pickup truck through several cornfields in Susquehanna Township, state police said.
Jonathan Paul Rachael, 22, of 2898 Euclid Ave., faces charges of agricultural vandalism and criminal mischief for driving his truck through cornfields owned by Robert Steppe, John Tebbs and Paul Markle overnight June 23, police said.
Rachael has been sent a summons to appear before District Judge James H. Sortman.
Woman faces drug charges
A woman who passed out in the dining area of Wendy's, 111 Maynard St., faces drug charges after she was found to be in possession of several packets of heroin, city police said.
Responding to the eatery to investigate a report of a possible overdose, officers found Jude Marie Ferguson, 25, of Mill Hall, unconscious but breathing, police said. She was taken by ambulance to the hospital and later discharged.
Ferguson, who had "a puncture wound in her upper right leg that was consistent with a needle injection site," had 16 bags of heroin on her, police said.
Charged with possession of heroin and drug paraphernalia, Ferguson has been sent a summons to appear before District Judge James Carn.
Man's alleged copper
for heroin caper foiled
An Old Lycoming Township police officer nabbed a Trout Run area man who stole a large amount of copper wire that he planned to sell to a recycling business so he could get cash to buy heroin, according to court records.
James Thomas McCourt, 29, of 6230 Rose Valley Road, was driving out of a driveway to property owned by Derek Edwards at 3202 Route 973 East in Hepburn Township about 3:30 a.m. July 30 when Patrolman Jeffrey Hughes was driving past while on routine patrol.
Suspicious that something was not right, the officer stopped McCourt's vehicle. In plain view in the back seat was a large amount of copper that turned out to be stolen from a garage-barn on Edwards' property. McCourt admitted he had planned to get cash for the copper in order to "support his heroin addiction," Hughes said.
Following his arraignment Monday before District Judge James H. Sortman on charges of felony trespassing, theft and receiving stolen property, McCourt was released on $10,000 bail.
Woman charged with felony shoplifting at Wal-Mart
Alena Keslee Willits, 18, 817 Wilson St., has been charged by Montoursville police with felony shoplifting after she was caught allegedly trying to steal $199 worth of merchandise from Wal-Mart, 1015 Loyalsock Ave., on Friday.
Already with two prior shoplifting convictions, Willits was arraigned hours later before District Judge James Carn and committed to the Lycoming County Prison in lieu of $8,500 bail.
Man charged with misuse
of company credit card
A Harrisburg man has been arrested on charges of using his employer-issued credit card illegally, state police alleged in court papers.
Dwight Eugene Sutton, 40, has been charged with three counts each of theft by deception and access device fraud and two counts of attempted access device fraud.
Police said Sutton, while employed as a truck driver for Dawn Trucking Co. in Fairfield Township, was given a company credit card that was to be used only to purchase oil and fuel for company trucks.
However, police allege that Sutton used the credit card to purchase cartons of cigarettes at three businesses: the Turkey Hill on Washington Boulevard, the Uni-Mart at West Third and Race streets and Sheetz in Loyalsock Township.
The alleged purchases were made on June 16, police said. On the same day, Sutton allegedly tried to purchase a $326 television set at Wal-Mart in Montoursville, police said.
Following his arraignment Monday before District Judge James Carn, Sutton was released on $15,000 bail.

This concert grew out of two poems on peace and fraternity.
The first, An die Freude (Ode to Joy) by Friedrich von Schiller (1785), which Beethoven discovered enthralled when he was 20 years old. The Ninth is a project that the composer completed after years of work and over two hundred revisions. The result is one of the symphonies that has surpassed the category of sound to become a musical icon with its own life.
The second, Friede auf Erden (Peace on Earth), written by Swiss writer Conrad Ferdinand Meyer (1825-1898). Schönberg began to set this poem to music in 1906, constructing a work for solo choir just when his musical language was evolving beyond traditional harmony. Even the choirs most accustomed to modern music found it difficult to sing and the composer created a discreet orchestral accompaniment. Written in peace time, when he was resting in Frankfurt in 1923, conducted by Hermann Scherchen, Schönberg told his colleague: "Friede auf Erden is an illusion, for mixed choir, a possible illusion when I composed it and harmony between human beings was possible... Since then, I have become afraid and I have seen that peace on Earth is only possible if we take great care over it, as is the case with harmony".
Arnold Schönberg: Friede auf Erden, op. 13
Ludwig van Beethoven: Sinfonía nº. 9, op. 125

The Symphony Orchestra and Chorus of the Gran Teatre del Liceu have made a outstanding contribution to the Liceu's history and reputation. During the 2012-2013 season they have also been invited to perform at L'Auditori de Barcelona, where they will take part in two major concerts conducted respectively by their own new resident conductor, Joan Pons, and by the resident conductor of the OBC (Barcelona Symphony and Catalan National Orchestra), Pablo González. At one concert the Orchestra and Chorus will perform Beethoven's 9th Symphony; at the other the chorus of the Liceu will join the OBC and the Chamber Chorus of the Palau de la Música Catalana in a performance of Giuseppe Verdi's Requiem to mark the bi-centenary of the composer's birth.

Jim Carrey & Jenny Mccarthy: Inside Their Shocking Split
Their Sudden Breakup Stuns Friends. Did Her Drive and His Intensity Destroy Their Five-Year Relationship?
Little more than a month later, the couple stunned their inner circle by ending their relationship. The breakup "was a huge surprise to even those of us who are close to them," says a Carrey family source. "Everyone around them is sad." Still, friends say there had always been an underlying tension between the bubbly, outgoing McCarthy and Carrey, whose manic comedy masks a darker, more withdrawn side. "She is really 'Go get 'em!' when it comes to publicity," says an old friend of Carrey's. "And Jim is nothing like that." Another source who is close to the couple says that the twice-divorced Carrey can be "a hard guy to date." Adds the source: "Jim can run hot and he can run cold. He is someone who desperately needs to be with someone, then just as desperately needs to be alone. But at the same time, he can be a very loving, very compassionate guy."
In separate statements, Carrey, 48, and McCarthy, 37, characterized the breakup as amicable and expressed admiration for each other. Noting that she "will always keep Jim as a leading man in my heart," McCarthy-whose son Evan, 7, has an exceptionally tight bond with Carrey-also said she would remain close to Carrey's daughter Jane, 22. (Jane's mom is Carrey's first wife, Melissa Womer; Evan's dad is McCarthy's ex John Asher.) For his part, Carrey tweeted, "I'm grateful 4 the many blessings we've shared."
The breakup marked a strange week for Carrey and an especially difficult one for McCarthy, who cited "different visions" when announcing the closing of the private academy for children with autism that she cofounded after her son was diagnosed with the disorder in 2005. Meanwhile, in a series of bizarre post-breakup tweets, Carrey acknowledged being "a little on edge" as he addressed everything from Tiger Woods' wife, Elin Nordegren ("No wife is blind enough to miss that much infidelity.... Elin had 2 b a willing participant on the ride 4 whatever reason"), to his own state of mind: "This is no breakdown! It's a breakthrough!"
But a breakthrough about what, exactly? Sources who know the famously intense actor say that he and McCarthy had slowly grown apart over time, having quietly weathered previous separations in recent years. Although Carrey has been open about his brutal battles with depression over the years, "depression had nothing at all to do with the breakup," says one source. "That is something Jim has dealt with in the past, but he is in a really good place now."
Another source says that Carrey and McCarthy often clashed. "Really, they are such different people," says an old Carrey pal. "When he is not working, he wants to lie low. I was surprised they made it work as long as they were able to. Jenny can be really aggressive and ambitious." The actress turned author and autism activist is currently at work on her seventh book-"a look inside sex and love, and how we manipulate to get both," she told PEOPLE last month-and has an ongoing development deal with Oprah Winfrey's Harpo Studios. (A Harpo rep calls reports that a potential McCarthy show was canceled "not accurate.")
A McCarthy pal points to other sources of tension, noting that the star prefers to stay home with Evan while Carrey is often eager for adventure. "He likes to travel, while she prefers to stay in L.A.," says the source. "They are both set in their ways."
And yet, during the course of their romance, the pair merged their lives so completely that they took on each other's passions-and children-with gusto. Carrey became a vocal advocate for McCarthy's autism activism (see box), while McCarthy came to share Carrey's enthusiasm for New Age spiritual enlightenment. "Their interest is to grow and expand and serve people and the planet," says bestselling self-help guru Byron Katie, a close friend of both stars. "Jenny takes experiences and grows from them. There's no way she can stop herself from loving Jim. She doesn't even try."
Several friends say they wouldn't rule out a reconciliation between the pair-"there's a lot of love there," says one pal-but for now, both stars will need time to heal. "What they had was profound and real; it just wasn't permanent," says a friend of the couple's. "They are both good people, and this has to be hard for both of them."

Newport is one of many major brand name companies producing Class "A" cigarettes, both menthol and non-menthol. The Newport brand is owned by Lorillard, which was founded in 1760 by Pierre Abraham Lorillard, is the only tobacco company from that era that is still in operation today. This makes Lorillard the oldest tobacco manufacturer in the United States, as well as the 18th oldest company, which is located in Greensborough North Carolina.
Although Lorillard has been producing various brands of menthol and non-menthol cigarettes since the inception of the company, the Newport brand was formally introduced in 1957. Since that time, the company has gone though many transformations including a buyout and redistribution of stocks.
Company History
James Buchanan Duke and the American Tobacco Company took control of the Lorillard tobacco company in 1910 as a result of the American Tobacco Company organizing corporation-like takeovers of smaller sized tobacco companies that started in 1899. However, in 1911, the US Court of Appeals found the American Tobacco Company in violation of the "restraint of trade" and the Lorillard Company found themselves an independent company again.
In 1925, the president of Lorillard, Benjamin Lloyd Belt, started making changes that included the promotion of the Old Gold brand, which finally resulted in a profit. In 1969, the Loews Corporation bought out Lorillard; however, the tobacco company retained their name and continued to operate as they had for almost two centuries. In 2008, when they signed an agreement that resulted in the separation of the two companies, the control of the stocks was turned over the public. It was while Loews Corporation owned the tobacco company that they moved their headquarters to NC while also manufacturing cigarettes in KY as well.
Newport Cigarette Production History
The Lorillard and Newport brand is known best for its menthol full flavored cigarettes; however, the company also produces various other menthol cigarettes as well. The currently available Newport brand cigarettes available include the following:
- Newport Box or Newport Kings, also known as Full flavor
- Newport Box 100s or Newport 100s, also known as full flavor 100's
- Newport Menthol Gold Box or Newport Menthol Gold, also known as lights
- Newport Menthol Gold Box 100s or Newport Menthol Gold 100s, also known as light 100's
- Newport Menthol Blue Box, also known as mediums
- Newport Menthol Blue Box 100s also known as medium 100's
The names of these have changed since the FDA required that all mention of a "light," "low-tar" or "low nicotine" cigarettes be removed from the cigarette packaging as of June 22 2010. Additionally, other brands of cigarettes were sold as well, which were non-menthol in the late 1990's. However, they have since been discontinued and are not sold anywhere. These non-menthol cigarettes were sold in the same style boxes however, they contained red or gold where the turquoise is. Newport Slim 120s, Newport "Stripes and the Newport "M-Blend" were manufactured in the 1990's, but were discontinued as well.
Other Promotional Products
On the official Newport Pleasure website, smokers aged 21 and over can sign up and browse for various items, coupons and entries into sweepstakes. NewportPleasure.com is a popular website and once registered and the information provided by the customer is verified, they then receive a magazine and coupons as well. While these items are mailed to a physical address of the customer, other items can be found on the website.
One special promotion includes the Newport smoker saving the UPC codes from the packs and cartons. These codes are called Goods Points, which the smoker can save and then exchange them for the ability to purchase goods, called Pleasure Goods) and receive pack and carton coupons. Two of the items that are always available by saving UPC codes include:
- Coupon for free carton of cigarettes for 275 UPC codes plus the payment of shipping and handling charges
- A $25 Newport savings book for 250 UPC's plus payment of shipping and handling charges
Other items sometimes available and found in the Pleasure Goods Catalog, when available include:
- Coupons for free packs of cigarettes for varying amounts of UPC's plus shipping and handling charges
- T-Shirts
- Jackets
- Backpacks
- Lighter
- Camping Gear
This is not an exhaustive list and the availability of any item on the website or from the catalog depends on the promotion in play at the time of registration. Additionally, Newport offers various chances to win money and prizes with their sweepstakes, which is run various times throughout the year.
Obtaining Entries or Coupons
Entering the various sweepstakes and receiving coupons for packs and cartons of Newport brand cigarettes is an easy process for anyone who is 21 or older. Simply visit the website, NewportPleasure.com and fill out your information. Required at the time of registration are name, license number (to verify age) address and preference of cigarette brand, which is given by the smoker filling out a short survey geared towards the likes and dislikes of the smoker. Keep in mind, however, that if the Newport Pleasure computer system cannot find a smoker who is trying to register in the system using their license number, the applicant may be required to mail in a copy of their license or other identification in order to participate in any of the programs.
If an Internet connection does not exist or for any other reason a smoker who wishes to participate but cannot do so over the Internet, they can register for the same items by purchasing a pack or carton of cigarettes and following the directions on the insert found on the back of the pack or carton, under the cellophane wrapping. Additionally, registration forms are available at most Newport cigarette retailers. Simply fill out the information and mail a copy of identification to register.

Dear Abby: I am a 12-year-old girl who is happy, healthy and doing great in school. But lately I have felt sad, lonely and just plain frustrated. I used to talk to my parents about it, but I don't feel comfortable doing it anymore, and my friends don't like listening to me.
I have tried hard to push back these feelings, but it is putting a strain on me. Sometimes I break down crying and can't stop. Most people think it's just my age, but it's not. It's more than that. I want to talk to a psychologist, but I'm scared to ask for one. What do you think?
– So Mixed Up
Dear So Mixed Up: Admitting you need professional help with a problem isn't something to be scared of. It is a sign of maturity. Your mood swings may be caused by the hormonal changes going on in your body as you are becoming a woman. However, because they are of concern to you, it is important that you let your parents and your pediatrician or a counselor at school know how you are feeling. It's the surest way to get the reassurance and, if necessary, the counseling you think you need.
Start saving for funeral
Dear Abby: I am 75, and when I pass on I would like the undertaker to remove my six gold caps from my teeth. Then my wife can sell them to pay for my funeral. I think this will work out well. What is your take on this?
– Ed in Florida
Dear Ed: As I started researching "dental gold," I realized that while there are companies that buy it, the price your wife would get will depend upon the weight of the gold – most of which is 16-karat – and the current market value of the metal. Because of the nosedive that gold has experienced lately, I'm advising you to start saving up for your funeral NOW and to live long and prosper. My experts have informed me that most funeral homes are unwilling to remove fillings, caps, etc.

To investigate the effect of apneumic retraction on intracranial pressure (ICP) using a live porcine model.
Five 25- to 30-kg pigs had a fiber-optic ICP bolt inserted under general endotracheal anesthesia and were monitored for ICP, mean arterial pressure, arterial blood gas measurements, and intra-abdominal pressure before, during, and after pneumoperitoneum, with each period 30 minutes long. These series of measurements were repeated after artificially raising ICP with an epidural balloon to create a head-injured model. The mean (±SE) ICP in the noninjured model at baseline was 13.46±1.01 mm Hg; during pneumoperitoneum, 18.72± 1.50 mm Hg (P=.0001). Similarly, in the head-injured model, ICP was raised artificially to a new baseline of 22 ± 1.75 mm Hg with an epidural balloon, and pneumoperitoneum increased ICP to 27.40±0.93 mm Hg (P=.0001). Pneumoperitoneum was then released, and an apneumic retractor was inserted while maintaining the inflated epidural balloon.
Main Outcome Measure:
Changes in ICP.
Applying anterior wall retraction equivalent to 20 mm Hg was not associated with changes in ICP. These observations were independent of any changes in arterial Pco2 or arterial pH. Following the release of pneumoperitoneum, abdominal wall retraction, and epidural balloon, all measurements reverted to baseline.
Pneumoperitoneum adversely affects ICP, while apneumic retraction may not affect animals with raised ICP. These findings suggest that pneumoperitoneum should be used with caution in patients with raised ICP, and apneumic retraction may be a safer alternative for laparoscopic evaluation in this population.(Arch Surg. 1995;130:362-366)

Dragons host Gig Harbor in first round of District II playoffs Saturday, 1 p.m. | Lacrosse
The Skagit Conference champion San Juan Dragons (11-2) host Gig Harbor (6-7) on Saturday, 1 p.m., at Friday Harbor High School, in the first round of Washington High School Boys Lacrosse Association District II playoffs.
(Coach Rob Cuomo initially reported game time as 7 p.m., but the game ended up being scheduled for 1 p.m.)
The Dragons won the Skagit Conference lacrosse title May 4 with a 12-4 win over Whatcom, at Whatcom Community College. The Dragons defeated North County 15-4 on May 15 at home to close out the regular season with a fifth consecutive win and an 11-2 record, but that game was gravy.
The victory over Whatcom sealed the Dragons' first title in four seasons in the Washington High School Boys Lacrosse Association, a testament in part to third-year head coach Rob Cuomo's leadership, and in part to the fitness and scrappiness of his team.
Cuomo, a former college lacrosse standout, took over the helm of the Dragons in 2008, a year after they finished 3-11 and in last place amid a rebuilding year. In Cuomo's first season, the Dragons finished 5-5 and tied for first. In 2009, the Dragons finished 8-4 and tied for second.
May 4 at Whatcom, San Juan dominated from the outset, scoring 3, 2, 6, 1 to Whatcom's 2, 1, 1, 0.
Senior attackman Kyle Skoog led San Juan scoring with four goals and one assist. He also recovered three ground balls. Senior midfielder Michael Ausilio recovered 17 ground balls. Senior goalie Calen Mehrer had 11 saves and recovered two ground balls.
Jona Mannering led Whatcom scoring with two goals. Goalie Kurtis McFadden had 11 saves.
After the Whatcom game, San Juan senior attackman Ryan Guard was sixth in goals (33) in the six-conference, 29-team Division II of the Washington State Boys Lacrosse Association. Senior midfielder Forest Dayton, for four years a bulwark of the team, was 13th with 28. Ausilio was third in ground balls (98). Mehrer was ninth in save percentage (.676); he'd faced 170 shots, had 115 saves and allowed 55 goals in 478 minutes at the goal.
San Juan drops North County for fifth straight lacrosse win
Kyle Skoog scored four goals and Ryan Guard had three goals and three assists as San Juan played to its fifth straight win with a 15–4 win over North County, May 15 at Friday Harbor High School.
The win elevated San Juan to 11-2-0 overall for first place in the Skagit Conference. Eric Conner, Marcus Fakkema, Devin Conner and Coty Graam each scored for North County, which dropped to 2-13-0 on the season.

Is BBPress responsive?
Is BBpress responsive? Can I use it with a theme that uses Adaptive/Responsive design?
Quang LDParticipant
bbPress layouts call style.css so your theme is responsive then bbPress too
Yes, certainly, bbPress works well in responsive themes. An example is the Skeleton theme: http://demos.simplethemes.com/skeleton/
John James JacobyKeymaster
It might need some additional CSS to make it actually look the part, but it should look *okay* enough to start.
We've had success with making bbPress look great via child themes across a wide variety of Responsive Theme Designs.
Our most popular, of course, are based on Emil Uzelac's "Responsive" theme (the #1 downloaded theme in WP repository), but it also works great with all of the WooThemes, Elegant Themes, and others.
You can see a sampling (with demos) here: http://labzip.com/product-category/themes/responsive-designs/
If you have any questions on how to make it happen, reach us at email@example.com
So let me get this straightened out. I have a wordpress site that has bbpress integrated. Do I need to use a different theme – a responsive one? or could I just stylize the current bbpress theme to make it responsive?
You can use bbPress with any theme. The trick is to implement some CSS and other formatting in a child theme to ensure it adopts the style of your underlying theme. We've been doing this globally for all the woothemes, and many others…it works well.
The CSS required will vary slightly, or greatly, depending on the theme you use. What are you using? Have a link?
The trouble is, by default bbPress has a lot of bells and whistles (features) that will quickly clutter a small screen.
So it's a lot of work to clean up the clutter and remove unnecessary design elements, borders, etc. Convert "px" to "em" and percentages. Use something like Flowtype to resize your text.
Here's an example of what you can do: http://linkedexpertsalliance.com/forums/
I spent about an hour just cleaning up the boxes and borders bbPress draws around the text editor, which makes all of your editor buttons too small to press on a phone. You want that text editor to use up the full width of your device. I tried to make those buttons responsive but the problem is you need those buttons to be big enough to tap, like the "bold" button is tiny. In the end, decided to go with a fixed viewport. It's just lots of little tradeoffs here and there that makes it frustrating.
