In England, the West Country sees religiously motived risings under the leadership of Humphrey Arundel, seeking to restore the Catholic liturgy in the face of the recent imposition of the Book of Common Prayer. For those in the west of Cornwall at least, one of the causes of offence in this new obligatory prayer book was that it was entirely in English, while the people of these parishes still used Cornish in their everyday life and had been accustomed to use it in church. The rebels form several armies, which continue to move eastwards until they are finally suppressed in August.

Max MutchlerMy Field Journals
I have been working here at the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) since around the time when the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) was launched into orbit back in 1990. I work mainly on the "front end" of telescope operations here. Astronomers who want to use HST must submit a proposal describing what they'd like to do. We get hundreds of proposals each year, but there is only enough time to do about 1/3 of them. So the proposals must be reviewed by a panel of astronomers that will decide which ones should be done -- it's a very competitive process. As a Program Coordinator, my job is to help the approved astronomers create a detailed observing program for HST.
Since the telescope is in space, "using it" is more like writing a computer program than operating a telescope (i.e. it is not at all like going to a mountaintop observatory at night). The astronomers who "use" the telescope don't usually come here to operate the telescope themselves. Instead, they have a contact person here at the Institute (like me) who works closely with them to write an observing program that will achieve the scientific goals that they described in their initial proposal. Then I go to work to make it happen -- working out all the technical bugs and getting the program on the observing schedule. We schedule the telescope's activities several weeks in advance so we can pack each orbit as efficiently as possible -- very important for an expensive mission like HST.
I work with dozens of astronomers from all over the world each year to help them use HST. My correspondence with them is mostly through e-mail. Sometimes it strikes me that I've worked for years with so many astronomers, many of whom I've never met in person, and with a telescope that I have never seen or touched (except for in pictures or on TV, etc). Space astronomy has an intangibility about it that makes it a very different business than "traditional" ground-based astronomy.
The best thing about my job is the privilege and thrill of working on the most important astronomical project of the day. I consequently get to work with some of the best scientists in the world on some of the most profound questions that humans have ever asked. Although I am not a student anymore, I am still learning more and more about the universe all the time while working here. I have been able to indulge my curiosity and continue developing my understanding of the universe we live in. I REALLY enjoy that!
In my spare time, I am also involved in educational outreach. My interest in astronomy and space began when I was in 4th grade growing up in Racine, Wisconsin. I remember how much it meant to me when someone from NASA or a scientist would visit my school. I loved it, and it surely had an impact on my future. So I take special joy (and a sense of responsibility) in returning the favor: I give many presentations about astronomy at schools, museums, and astronomy clubs. I also continue to enjoy astronomy as a hobby: I can sometimes be found "stargazing" in my backyard with a small telescope, and inviting my neighbors to take a peek. People who've never looked through a telesope before are often very suprised at how much you can see even with a small telescope or binoculars -- some don't believe what they are seeing at first!
I have always enjoyed reading astronomy books, journals, magazines, and watching any TV shows or movies about astronomy and space. I have also visited many science museums, planetariums, NASA centers, and observatories over the years. Until I reached college, I never had an opportunity to take an astronomy class. In high school I took all the math and science classes I could, to prepare for college. I didn't have ANY trouble choosing a major once I got to college!
This is my first job since graduating with a Master's degree in 1990. I studied physics, astronomy, and space sciences in college (in Wisconsin and Florida). As a college student, I worked in a plasma physics lab, a robotic telescope lab, and I spent some time at the Kennedy Space Center. I was thrilled to be there when the Hubble Space Telescope was launched (just 2 weeks after I was offered a job here at the Institute!). If, as a 4th grader in a small town in Wisconsin, I could have looked into the future and seen myself working on the Hubble Space Telescope project, I don't think I would have believed it -- I didn't know anyone who was involved in anything like this. But I've learned that if you follow your heartfelt interests, you will go to many interesting and unexpected places. So if you are a young student, I encourage you to follow the advice of Apollo astronaut Gene Cernan (this is one of my favorite quotes): "I urge you to dream. I did, and one day I found myself standing on the surface of the Moon."
P.S. Yes, I do like many things other than astronomy: my wife and 4-month-old daughter, theater, wearing my cheesehead hat while watching sports (Wisconsin sports fans will understand this), guitar, camping/hiking, chocolate, Indian food, bicycling, community service, The Simpsons....

|Award-winning author Ferris to speak at SRJC Petaluma campus
Award-winning author and UC Berkeley Professor Timothy Ferris will be a guest speaker at Santa Rosa Junior College's (SRJC) Petaluma campus on May 10 at 2 p.m.
Ferris produced the Voyager Golden Record – an artifact of human civilization containing music, sounds of Earth and encoded photographs launched aboard the twin Voyager 1 spacecraft.
Now exiting the solar system, the Voyagers are the most distant probes ever created by humans. Ferris will speak in SRJC's Carol L. Ellis Auditorium located on 680 Mountain Parkway in Petaluma. Parking permits for $4 will be made available for purchase on the campus lots. Seating is expected to be limited; however, the event is free and open to the public.
Ferris sat on the committee chaired by "Cosmos" author Carl Sagan, which selected and assembled sounds and images from Earth. These serve as a time capsule accompanying NASA's Voyager 1 and 2 space probes, which were launched in 1977 and are continuing to collect and transmit data.
Ferris went on to write a dozen books of his own — among them the bestsellers "The Whole Shebang" and "Coming of Age in the Milky Way," which were translated into 15 languages and named by the New York Times as among the leading books published in the 20th century.
Called "the best popular science writer in the English language" by the Christian Science Monitor and "the best science writer of his generation" by the Washington Post, Ferris has received the American Institute of Physics prize and a Guggenheim Fellowship. His works have been nominated for the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize.
Ferris has also made three documentary films, all of which premiered in prime time on PBS — "The Creation of the Universe," (1986), "Life Beyond Earth" (1999), and "Seeing in the Dark" (2007) — and have been seen by over 20 million viewers.
Ferris has taught in five disciplines – astronomy, English, history, journalism, and philosophy – at four universities. He is currently an emeritus professor at the University of California, Berkeley.

HTC CEO Peter Chou says ITC ruling against the company is a mere "distraction"
0. phoneArena 30 Jul 2011, 08:59 posted on
Being charged by the ITC with infringing on two of Apple's patents is nothing more than a "distraction" to Taiwan based HTC according to the manufacturer's CEO, Peter Chou; the executive said that Q3 revenue will soar 80% higher from the previous year...

Apple is such a douche bag company. Suing other companies for infringing your weak ass patents only to have them counter sue you back for the same thing, only benefits one thing: The Lawyers.
Ends up hurting innovation and customers cuz all those lawyer's fees get passed onto handset costs.

Um, Taco, this article is more about HTC than Apple.
Posts like these are an example of what not to do in order to recover your reputation.
9. biophone (Posts: 1956; Member since: 15 Jun 2011)
Its an htc and apple article. But it is still an apple article as it talks about them. I dot see how a couple lawyer fees will raise the price of a phone by more then a couple cents. So that wont really hurt customers
11. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
Ehh... have you seen what legal fees for high profile costs are these days? Especially since HTC could be ordered to pay their own and Apple's legal fees AND give further compensation should they lose. That's a lot of money.
31. biophone (Posts: 1956; Member since: 15 Jun 2011)
Ok so sniggly im guesing over the course of 2 years htc sells 50 million devices lawyer fees are lets say 10 million. That would increase the price of a phone by 20 cents. That isnt really bad. Correct me if im wrong this is all a guess but its about what i think it will be. If you have more accurate numbers feel free to enlighten me. Now if they lose then that means they copied apple and should have to pay for whatever the judgement is. Apple has that right and i expect the court system to do what is correct. My point is the consumer really shouldnt see much of an impact from this.

Nexos is a troll that only posts to talk s**t about Apple. I really don't care what anyone on here thinks about me. This is the bs that happens with fandroid trolls. It's ok to bash Apple, but if anyone bashes android or the trolls back then that's messed up.
18. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
Um. Yeah. Taco, have you noted where I've been telling those insulting you to cool their jets too? I don't care if you bash Android, but the personal crap can end if we all make an effort at it.
22. Whateverman (Posts: 3262; Member since: 17 May 2009)
@ Taco50. You gotta admit, Sniggly has had your back the last few articles. When you were attack, Sniggly asked Android fans to back off. But it's hard to defend you when you are the one attacking first. NeXoS expressed a feeling about the company Apple. Not about the iPhone, not about iOS, and not about you. Even with this new More civil approach some of us have been trying to take, you still managed to take a few swings at Android and Android fan that went ignored. Why can't you extend the same courtesy to this young lady?

Hey Miz if apple pioneered and innovated everything then why are paying royalties to Nokia.
7. biophone (Posts: 1956; Member since: 15 Jun 2011)
Did he say everything. I didnt think so dont put words in other mouths. Apple has a right to defend themselves no matter what anybody says. Great point miz. Htc is a great company too with great phones and im sure them and apple will work this out.
13. Rob74 (Posts: 7; Member since: 29 Jul 2011)
He didn't say it but I know he meant it I've read some of his posts and they are ridiculous, your not a fanboy biophone the Miz is don't put yourself on that level.
29. biophone (Posts: 1956; Member since: 15 Jun 2011)
Just because he has had some ridic posts doesnt mean what he is saying here isnt correct. I agree with this specifc point of the miz. Then you completly ignored what the miz said and distorted it. Just becayse apple pays royalties doesnt mean they dont inovate in other areas. He never said inovate everything and your post was more to do with the fact you dont like him not based on what he said.

HTC: cool under fire. I'm surprised the article didn't mention Chou putting on sunglasses, spouting a one liner, then walking away while a giant apple explodes behind him.
I'm all for companies getting compensation for the use of their IP (though Apple is just as guilty as everyone of simply buying a lot of its patents or getting ideas from elsewhere, like pinch to zoom), but Apple isn't looking for that. They are specifically asking for HTC products to be completely banned from the US market. I'm very much against the initiation of force against others.
Like has been said before, Apple is not interested in competing. They want to be the ONLY game in town. They can't tolerate anyone else being as successful as they are. And HTC is probably their greatest threat, due to its insane growth and reputation for quality.
16. taco50 (banned) (Posts: 5506; Member since: 08 Oct 2009)
That's bs
17. taco50 (banned) (Posts: 5506; Member since: 08 Oct 2009)
How do you know what Apple wants to do internally? They are protecting things they innovated and have patents on and they have total right to do that.
19. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
Then how come Microsoft was able to do the same thing with HTC and Samsung without specifically asking the ITC to banhammer them from the market?
Apple is all about Apple making all the money and Apple being the only company making real money in the market. It's obvious when you look at their history, how they market, and how they treat anyone who deals with them.
27. taco50 (banned) (Posts: 5506; Member since: 08 Oct 2009)
Every company is all about making money. Apple is just more successful then most. People hate Apple because of their success. Whenever you're very successful people come out of the woodwork trying to bring you down.
36. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
Incorrect. People hate Apple because they're control freaks and hypocrites about IP ("Our IP shouldn't be stolen, but we sure as hell like to steal everyone else's!"). Apple is hated because they use the government to bully everyone who gets in their way and they're not willing to share their wealth with anyone who has made their success possible.
They're hated because of the snobbish attitude they cultivate over their products, culminating in their "If you don't have an iPhone, you don't have an iPhone" campaign.
If I hated them simply for being successful, I would hate Ford, Inc. because of its success in recent years- I don't. I would hate HTC. I don't. I would hate Warner Brothers. I don't.
Please stop with the paranoia. It gets you nowhere, Taco.

Not true companies sue each other all the time. Apple just settled with Nokia after a drawn out lawsuit. It's part of the business but Apple gets bashed for it.
42. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
Okay, so when Apple gets sued it's just "part of the business," but when they sue everyone else, it's because they're protecting their IP?
Apple has filed over 350 copyright complaints in the past couple of years alone, and not just against tech companies. Even companies that sell apples get the pants sued off of them by Apple for copyright infringement.
37. rican (Posts: 132; Member since: 02 Jul 2011)
taco...i dont understand why you defend apple so much, do they ever send you money, thank you cards, coupons, deals of any kind? do you work for them does any of your family or friends work for them, or are you just some dude that buys their product and sucks steve jobs d**k? in the end its not that serious, all companies are making their money while we as normal everyday people are struggling to even have a roof over our heads.

You don't see us complaining too much when you pop onto an article about Android and comment.
In fact, we are only complaining when you make things personal, which is almost all the time these days.
25. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
uhh because theyve asked judges to ban the competition from selling any devices in america. That makes a pretty clear statement about what they want.
32. biophone (Posts: 1956; Member since: 15 Jun 2011)
Its a bargaining tool. There playing te game you have to ask for alot so you can then settle for royalties. We all know as does apple that htc wint be banned. Its insane this is even being discussed. Apple has a right to protect itself. Dont be overdramatic about this and just let our court system handle this.

It is so funny to see people fighting over who is the best apple or android, I have friends that could get to the punches if someone says anything negative about apple losers,I have the thunderbolt, because LTE is awesome also I have it rooted and I get free hot spot, I watch videos online and iphone doesn't support adobe flash ,I don't like paying itunes $0.99 per every song and since I'm to busy to search in the net, I get them for free, right from market. I really don't care if apple IOS is better than android, or if apple app market has more applications than the android.
Android works for me and for as long as apple doesn't offer adobe flash, free turn by turn navigation, free song downloads, and 4g lte, I will keep using android.
30. dmakun (Posts: 320; Member since: 06 Jun 2011)
Well said ........simple as that!!!
Hear that TACO?
@Taco, are u paid by apple? Everytime there is a personal opinion about that company you seem to jump out with swords!! Everyone is entitled to their opinion (unfortunately including you) but when issues as blattant as this, you don't need to be a scholar to see that this move by your beloved apple isn't 'really' all about the patent. Its quite obvious they feels threatened by the competition.
I'm an artist by profession and if there's one thing i know for a fact, it is that 'originality' (patent) or claim to it is an illusion and ideas only develops and become better when its out there where people can use it. Yes, apple deserves compensation but there is a proper way to go about that without desiring to expel the competition and people such as yourself (the 'end user' if you are actually one) will continue to benefit
41. taco50 (banned) (Posts: 5506; Member since: 08 Oct 2009)
No it's a business move that any business would make. If someone is making money off your idea and you can stop them then you will.

Please provide us with your source. Or stop beating around the bush. What other companies are so arrogant and hated and try to get rid of competition by suing every competitor and trying to ban them from free American market? Shut up or provide the proof.

Artists have a right to get paid for music. What your doing is illegal aka downlooading free songs. If thats why you like android so much its your loss. If you want flash download skyfire. Even though flash doesnt work well on a mobile device you can still get it. What its best for is ads which i dont care for. A few bucks for nav is no big deal and most of the time people are in wifi. 4g just drains battery and 4g will be implemted once its get better. The thunderbolt is a good phone but i might rethink whats so good about it.
49. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
Actually, Bio, if you buy music most of the money goes to the studio, not the artist. The artists make their big money off of concert tickets, which is why you don't often see an artist doing very well if they don't have effective tours, and also why you see artists who are clearly past their prime still going out on stage.
Conversely, flash is great for videos that are blocked by Youtube mobile for copyright issues or seeing videos that are not from YouTube but still use flash.
53. biophone (Posts: 1956; Member since: 15 Jun 2011)
All the android phones i have ever had all i used flash for was ads nothing else. I tried to watch videos and it didnt work well and always ended up at youtube anyway. It may be useful for some but piontless to me. Regardless where the money goes its still illegal and if thats the reason he likes android to get illegal music that isnt a very well thought out buying decision.

Do you think That rappers and rock stars need your money? do you feel sorry for them living in malibu or the upper east side of NY? I don't care if it's illegal, the last thing I will do is to pay apple $1 per song , when I could get it for free, I'm sure they won't go broke because of it. but me I'll definitely miss $100, the navigation from verizon is $10 per month, Again why would I pay that when I get it for free in my TB, I already pay Verizon $200 for 4 lines, the battery works fine for me I get around 8 hours, also 2.3 will improved batt. life, I'm a big sports fan, I watch the entire Hockey season on my phone from the web, I don't use any apps, I get it straight from the net.
Like I said if apple would offer those things maybe I'd get a iphone too, until then I'll stick to my TB,

While i have been selling Phones for the past 10 years (at&t mobility, T-Mobile and SprintNextel) ..I've always find it funny that people take the monetary value of another company over there own lives very entertaining. Im a gadget freak and have no official loyalty to any OS although i use a Moto Photon and have been using an android the past few years. I respect everyones opinion but for some reason it seems a few (namely Miz and Taco) seems to come here to only OVERLY defend Apple and EXTREAMLY offend others for there opinions. I get a laugh out of it but i really do say in the back of my mind (damn this reminds me of the customers that would come into my store and all i had to say was it was made for apple and they would uneccessarily buy a dozen of them for one phone but cant pay there damn phone bill) SMH, but Im with whateverman, sniggly and Protolez on most case as they mostly seem to bring up great "DEBATE" points not blind sheep "ARGRUMENTS".
I say whatever OS works for you then PLEEEEEASE by all means roll with that, i have some customers that only have a use for Winmo7 or some cases just regular messaging phones. Does this make them less intelligent or in a lower class than those with an iPhone or Android...? Hell no, this just makes them a smart consumer who researches there products to fit there buisness and personal needs. Not everyone needs iTunes, Mobile hotspots, LTE, front facing cameras or all the bells and whistles. Hell for the most part most people i sell phones to and try to right fit them in a device for them only buys a handset because "it's the hottest or newest or my friend has it" but yet lacks the mental capacity to fully understand they may not need or use all of those features or know or be willing to learn how to use them.
But hey i cant complain because no matter who buys what as long as they're buying from me im making a great commission but i just wish more people would stop acting as if they own apple or samsung or HTC or as if there phone is lower than his or her phone, look at it like this: I may not have a Dodger charger SRT8 but instead opt for a Prius. Does that make me "dumb" or "a loser"? no because i may comute 90mi to and from work everyday and live in a climate that gets heavy snowfall, the other person driving the charger may live where its sunny and clear and may have mommy and daddy footing the bill for his or her gas.
Just learn to respect each others choices....damn this is like high school all over again.

Apple definitely has a right to protect their products because they were the ones who really revolutionized the industry, and that goes without saying, so yes I think might have to chalk up legal fees. But, Apple is going about this the wrong way, Trying to ban HTC from shipping in the U.S is stupid. Secretly Apple has an urge to dominate, and they are hoping to halt competition legally. HTC should be slightly punished, per say, but not be kicked out of the U.S. But you can't deny that Apple really did come out with a lot of things way before anybody else did, and the court should respect that.

Voice: Donna Leuck, executive director, Pregnancy Resource Center, Lapeer
Nearly three hundred banquet attendees enjoyed interacting with Pregnancy Resource Center board, staff and volunteers at the recent Hope for the Future fundraising banquet at Hunters Creek Community Church. A silent auction was held, at which guests could bid on the beautiful pineapple burst quilt donated by the Thimble Buddies Quilt Guild. Forty-five specialty baskets and items drew the attention of guests to bid on beautiful, fun and useful items. Guests enjoyed a delicious dinner after which I gave the encouraging update report of 68 babies born to clients and of 726 client contacts in 2009.
The Lapeer Civic Orchestra Strings provided pre- and post-program entertainment. Rebecca Kiessling delivered an inspiring, life-affirming message of gratitude to her birth mother for choosing to give her life and then releasing her to an adoptive family. Rebecca led attendees in realizing that all life is precious, no matter how it began. Nearly aborted, rape-produced Rebecca today is a family life lawyer practicing in Michigan. She and her husband are raising three biological and two adopted children. The Kiesslings are devoted to providing a life-affirming home as well as to take their message of hope in and through crisis to others.
Thank you to our auction donors.

A handful of my Senate colleagues recently attempted to halt work on important nuclear weapons research and a critical new facility for maintaining our current nuclear weapons: the proposed Modern Pit Facility. They were not successful. But the rhetoric they used should give us all pause.
The House and Senate recently approved funding to continue work on the MPF, a facility (and 1,000 jobs) that I am advocating to be located at Pantex. But opponents, led by Sens. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., offered an amendment to strip the funds on the grounds that upgrading this important aspect of our weapons program is the wrong direction for the country. They went on to equate American nuclear weapons research and modernization with that of such rogue nations as North Korea. And the MPF, they claimed, is not a prudent use of taxpayer money but instead a catalyst for a new arms race.
Linking America's nuclear weapons research to that of rogue states and terrorists paints an absurd picture of international relations. Ending our research and modernization programs, which contribute directly to the safety of our nuclear weapons, will not prompt rogue nations to do the same. In fact, the opposite is true.
Simply put, preventing America from researching more effective ways to protect our nation from terrorism is never met with reciprocity on the part of rogue nations or terrorists. Handcuffing our weapons program research will not result in al-Qaida, Hamas or other terrorist groups suddenly ending their bloodlust and giving up their arms.
The belief that terrorists and rogue nations will suddenly cease building the biggest and most potent weapons available if America meekly refrains from modernizing its weapons is naive, at best. Using this rose-colored logic, all that we must do to prevent future 9/11 attacks is to dismantle or severely reduce the size of America's military and law enforcement agencies. But the truth is, if America lets down its guard, terrorists will only redouble their efforts and strike again.
Recent history bears a prime example of the result of this failed logic. President Bush announced a dramatic reduction in America's nuclear arsenal two years ago, and since that time both North Korea and Iran have continued developing weapons programs unabated. They were undeterred by the administration's effort to thin the nuclear arsenal, though the Kennedy-Feinstein logic would suggest otherwise.
Similarly, when the United States ended its testing program, Pakistan and India continued testing their own weapons, resulting in nuclear brinkmanship on the subcontinent.
Let's be clear about the claim that the MPF, started in the previous administration, would do harm to our international relations. Opponents of this crucial aspect of our national security apparently don't realize that we currently have no certified production capability for a critical component of our nuclear arsenal, a capability that even rogue nations, such as North Korea, now possess. That must change.
The Bush administration has made great strides in reducing our nuclear arsenal, while researching more effective tools to replace massive ballistic missiles to deter new threats. And Congress is working to fund these important initiatives while maintaining appropriate oversight of our national and homeland defense. But we cannot afford to let down our guard, ignore our responsibilities or turn a blind eye to new dangers.
We no longer need 20,000 nuclear warheads aimed at the Soviet Union; that threat has changed dramatically. Similarly, we can no longer ignore the new threats posed by outlaw nations with larger ambitions. Defunding programs that may provide the best defense against a new enemy will not make the enemy disappear or disarm. Terrorists strike when we are weak, not when we are strong. We must have the flexibility, the technology and the confidence that research provides if we are to prevent attacks against our nation and our allies.
A head in the sand can't see a coming threat, and wishful thinking won't halt weapons production in nations that wish us harm. The MPF won't grow terrorists or enemies, but its absence might. We should not - and we cannot -- take that risk.
U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, is a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, and serves on the Strategic and the Emerging Threats and Capabilities subcommittees. He toured Pantex last Thursday.

Woman Paralyzed by Burger
Ground beef is not a completely safe product.
—Dr. Jeffrey Bender, food safety expert
In a chilling reminder to all meat-eaters, Saturday's New York Times recounted the tragic story of Stephanie Smith, whose meatborne illness almost killed her and left her paralyzed.
Two years ago, Smith was a dance instructor who ate a hamburger contaminated by E. coli bacteria, which happens when feces from cattle comes into contact with their flesh during the slaughter process—something that's hard to avoid when the animals are forced to lie in their own urine and feces in barren feedlots and when they are hacked apart in filthy slaughterhouses.
Stephanie experienced stomach cramping that turned into bloody diarrhea. Then her kidneys shut down. Seizures, which knocked her unconscious, were so frequent that doctors had to force her into a coma. Nine weeks later, she woke up. The virus had ravaged Stephanie's nervous system to the point that she can no longer walk, and doctors believe she will be bound to a wheelchair for the rest of her life.
The name "E. coli" comes from "colon," where E. coli is found. In other words, anything that comes into contact with feces can be contaminated. While raw vegetables can be cross-contaminated with meat or with waste runoff from factory farms, ground beef is the most common source of E. coli poisoning.
Ground beef is usually a mixture of the flesh of many cattle from several slaughterhouses. Stephanie Smith's deadly burger contained "trimmings" from one slaughterhouse in Nebraska that kills 2,600 cattle each day. Other bits of the burger came from a slaughterhouse in Texas that kills discarded dairy cows and old bulls.
According to the Times, there isn't any federal law requiring meat-grinding companies to test for E. coli. Many slaughterhouses put the fear of losing money in recalls before public safety and will only sell to grinders who agree not to do testing.
The company that made Stephanie Smith's burger continues to sell its cheap bits and pieces of dead cattle to supermarkets, fast-food restaurants, and the school lunch program, so if a dose of E. coli doesn't sound appealing, go vegan.

to dear PigPal "a bacterion" but "many bacteria"
"Cargill whose $116.6 billion in revenues last year made it the countrys largest private company…" "The U.S.D.A. found that Cargill had not followed its own safety program for controlling E. coli." When will people realize that most big corporations don't give a damn about people's healthand the government is in bed with these huge conglomerates instead of fulfilling their mandate to protect the interests of the public.
msalabama So I have a 1 in 6 chance of shooting myself?
Does anyone here acknowledge the fact that vegetables carry dangerous pathogens as well…and can be contaminated with the exact same bacteria even when animals aren't involved?
Eating meat is equivilent to playing Russian Roulette. Vegetarians and vegans don't have to worry about how safe our food is. Unless the ecoli from animals gets onto our spinich. Yikes!
As a young man one of my first jobs was at a local grocery store in my home town. My first position was bag boy then promoted to stock boy then moved to the meat dept. Well I learned all about meat cutting and such and was not very good at it so the meat manager gave me the job of grinding hamburger meat up all day. That was the last time I ever ate hamburgers after seeing what all goes into the grinder from the butchers waste table. I later quit the meat dept. and got moved to the produce dept which was a more desirable job for me. I have now been a complete nonmeat eater for 20 years and can realize why now that we all are understanding the hazards of meat and eating animals.
Karma sucks. All those animals tortured and killed. I am surprised that there aren't more people crippled.
I had an uncle who passed away about 3 years ago. He was a hunter who ate the venison from the deer he killed. The official cause of death was complications from Parkinson's disease. My father died of Parkinson's also but while his disease progressed slowly over a period of 20 years the Parkinson's my uncle had finished it's work in less than 5 years. I personally think my uncle did not have Parkinson's at all but "Wasting Disease" which is something like Bovine Spongiform Encephalitis Mad Cow which can be contracted from eating venison and can kill it's victims much more quickly.
I'm a diehard vegetarian but this tragic meat story is an aberration.
OR you could get Congress to pass a law that forces E. coli testing.
Not to be too nitpicky but E. coli is a bacteria not a virus.
If everyone who eats meat would read the NY Times piece which provides quotes that show that the USDA exists to benefit corporations rather than to safeguard the citizenry it would be like installing windows in slaughterhouses. It would push some fencers to vegitarianism and push some meatworlders onto the fence. They won't supply to processors who test inbound? Unconscionable. Purely detached from safety…and morality. Though I oppose unbridled creation of new laws there oughta be one. Test outbound. Test inbound. Require this. No more potential for threats of yanking the supply. Real tests though. Independent. Who pays? Meat eaters. Tax meat.
this happened to a friend of mine a few years back he died and was missed by all but when the parents sued the company they got off scott free
That's awful. I can't believe that given the risks involved people are still happy to tuck into their burgers etc. By adopting a vegn diet people can at least minimise the chances of becoming ill and help animals at the same time.
that's exactly what the movie "Fast food nation" shows hardly there's something dirtier than "processed meat" AKA burgers sausages etc…

Founded in 1976, Luvs is a brand committed to making diapering less expensive for parents. Over the years, Luvs has continued to improve the designs of diapers, introducing innovations such as a dry weave cloth lining that helps to pull moisture away from the skin to decrease the chances of diaper rash and leaks. No matter what types of improvements Luvs makes to their designs, the cost of their diapers remains less expensive than the other big name brands on the market.
Although Luvs offers a variety of diaper styles, all of the diapers manufactured by the brand possess the same core features. The contoured shape of the diapers allows for a comfortable fit that never restricts Baby's movements. At the legs, the diapers are outfitted with leak barriers and gathered material to help decrease the likelihood of leaks. Despite their cloth-like exteriors, the interiors of Luvs diapers are highly absorbent because they feature a highly absorbent core. The closure tabs stretch to ensure that the diapers can be tightly closed, and they also can be unstuck and repositioned again and again as needed to adjust the fit or to check to see if a change is needed.
In side-by-side comparisons to other brands, Luvs diapers continually perform as well as or better than their competitors' products. The makers of Luvs are so confident that their diapers offer full protection against leaks that they offer a money-back guarantee. That's something few other brands would ever be willing to offer and a testament to the fact that Luvs makes high quality diapers that are as great at stopping leaks as they are affordable in price.
At drugstore.com, we price all of our Luvs diapers low to help you save as much as possible when you're stocking up on diapers. In addition to all of the popular Luvs varieties, our collection includes wipes that, like the diapers, are a fraction of the cost of those made by other brands. When you shop with us, you can get the diapers you need shipped right to your door, so you don't have to load your baby in the car and head to the store when you need to replenish your supply. Start shopping the collection today to find the right diapers for your child or to reorder your favorite variety.

Title: Chinese Reforms in Historical and Comparative Perspective.
Wen-hsin Yeh, UC Berkeley, History, discussant
This talk will look at the last 30 years of reform in China in both a global, comparative perspective and a Chinese historical one, paying particular attention to the long-term role of the cultural nexus of power in creating an entrepreneurial local culture as well as long-term patterns of state-society relations. The revolutionary model of development often produced unexpected connections with the cultural nexus to enable and nourish local enterprise.

THE MACHINE age of surgical instrument manufacturing (post-1890) came about partly because of the need for "aseptible" implements. Even though final finishing still entailed much detail work by hand, there was a necessity for simpler instruments that proved more compatible with the dictates of aseptic surgical practices; these instruments were most easily produced by die-forging techniques and stamping presses. The 1-piece alloy steel instrument, devoid of superfluous ornamentation, supplanted the gleaming, highly polished English cast steel instrument fitted into a carefully constructed ebony, ivory, or mother-of-pearl handle. The elegance and quality of surgical implements would henceforth be defined strictly by the functionality and simplicity of design, characteristics paralleling the "new" industrial era virtues of asepsis and machine age production.
A Kny-Scheerer Co, New York City, machine-manufactured railway surgery set (≈1914). These fully sterilizable, all-metal instruments were imported from Germany and then placed in an American-made wooden carrying case. This particular kit was of a German Army pattern and used on the Erie Railroad. The Kny-Scheerer Co was an American business with German parent ties. During World War I, and working under the legalities of the Alien Property Act, the company's assets were seized and subsequently sold to "nonaliens."

why use glitter tape at all since it will be covered up? Also, how about spray painting the interior? I would have liked to see a glimpse of the finished project. Great idea, I have saved tons of tin cans which I now know what to do with.

I don't mean to be a problem BUT I had alreadt checked with these sources. They all carry American Craft and their largest width is 7/8". This looks to be at least 2" or more. Coulde it be some kind of industrial glitter tape. Thank you so much for helping me. I think you can see the convenience of a wider tape that can also take the decoupage. Can you jusy ask Savannah where it comes from??? Hope so...bobbyb

@bobbyb Great question! You can find Glitter Tape at almost any hobby store. I'd recommend checking Michael's and Hobby Lobby. Otherwise Archiver's or Amazon.com might have it as well. Hope that helps!

Fox grabs 'End,' Artisan bites 'Raw'
|Visit the Sundance Online Resource Center.
From ReporterTV: Co-founders and CEOs of Sidekick Entertainment Gary Barkin and Marla Grossman wear two hats on Allison Anders latest film "Things Behind The Sun"; director / screenwriter Richard Kelly makes his feature debut with "Donnie Darko." Also, director / screenwriter, Bruce Wagner brings the digital project, "Women In Film" to Sundance. View streaming video from the Sundance Festival.
PARK CITY, Utah — Sundance 2001 may be nearly in the books, but a frenzy of acquisitions interest surrounding a dozen films is ongoing. Late Friday, Fox Searchlight Pictures acquired North American distribution rights to Scott McGehee and David Siegel's "The Deep End" for roughly $4 million.
Earlier in the week, the company grabbed Jay Chandrasekhar's "Super Troopers" for roughly $3 million.
Meanwhile, Artisan Entertainment has closed a North American distribution pact for the controversial doc "Raw Deal: A Question of Consent." Both pacts were handled by John Sloss of Sloss Special Projects.
"Raw Deal," which has generated buzz all week, probes a string of events beginning in February of 1999 when an exotic dancer named Lisa Gier King was hired by the Delta Chi fraternity house on the University of Florida campus in Gainesville.
The next morning, King ran from the house half-naked and distraught, claiming that frat brother Michael Yahraus had raped her. In their investigation, police discovered hours of video footage taken by Yahraus and his frat brothers depicting the events of that night. But the footage turned the case on its head, causing King herself to be arrested and charged with filing a false report.
Pic was helmed by 22-year-old Billy Corben, who shared producing duties with Alfred Spellman.
"Sundance continues as fertile ground for out of the box filmmaking that fits well with Artisan's sensibilities," said Patrick Gunn, executive veep of Artisan. "'Raw Deal: A Question of Consent' is one of the most talked about films of the festival with good reason. This is a provocative film with great social importance that's sure to inspire meaningful dialogue among viewers. The video footage in the film shows all sides of the story but ultimately reveals nothing, leaving it to the viewer to continue the speculation of what really happened the night in question and why the events occurred the way they did afterward."
Added Corben and Spellman: "We are very pleased to be working with Artisan on the release of 'Raw Deal.' The company has shown a great talent for aggressively marketing films that generate a lot of talk, and we are excited to begin this collaboration."
"The Deep End," which screened in the fest's dramatic section, is a noir thriller centering on a tragedy about a teenage boy and a tortured mother's efforts to protect her young.
Adapted by McGehee and Siegel from the Elizabeth Sanxay Holding novel "A Blank Wall," pic was exec produced by Robert Nathan and coproduced by Laura Greenlee, with McGehee and Siegel producers.

Need awesome gift ideas for a girlfriend who is upset with me
I bought my girlfriend an accessory for her phone on amazon a few days ago and it came in the mail yesterday. So this morning, I say "I have a surprise for you!" to which she replies "is it my accessory?" I said in a sarcastic fashion naaaah of course not! I joke like this all the time. Now she had a particularly awful day today. And when I saw her this evening, I gave her the accessory and said surprise! Normally when I do this I get "the look" and she teases me. But she was really upset. Perhaps she thought my surprise was something that would make her feel better from her particularly awful day. Now it wasn't the immature upset, but more of a disappointed, you're not in touch with my feelings upset. So I'd like to do something really sweet for her and/or give her a real surprise. Something out of the box. Ideas?

Surprised With Being Let Go, Networking/Job Search 101 plz?
I was let go from my job last week - it was kind of a surprise, but I'm bouncing back and I was looking to leave the company anyway, so I'm not too broken up about that. I am not thrilled about the prospect of job hunting while unemployed (would have preferred to have landed a new job first) and am trying to get a handle on my next steps. I have some Networking 101-type questions that I need help with, as well as some questions about how best to frame what happened at the last job to recruiters/prospective new leads/interviewers, and how to best avoid ever being in this same situation ever again.

Why do I get the dry heaves when I get hungry?
Why do I get the dry heaves when I get hungry? I used to never had a problem getting hungry...if I couldn't eat for a little while. In the last couple of years I have an almost instantaneous reaction when I get hungry. All of a sudden I go into the dry heaves. I have to desperately search for something to eat or eat a Tums.

It's July, the heart of growing season. Many residents who live in houses on small lots or in apartments turn to community gardens to grow healthy food and beautiful plants and flowers.
There are several types and styles of community gardens from traditional rented plots to u-picks and weekly shares of in-season fruits and vegetables. The key to the success of these places, according to many, is the volunteers, and West Michigan has been lucky with several dedicated people helping to organize and maintain local community gardens. There is often a waiting list to join, but the rewards can bear a lot of fruit as I quickly discovered during a little tour of the community gardens in our area.
At five acres and with125 gardeners, Hillcrest Community Garden is one of Michigan's largest. Loosely run by a garden committee and a lot of volunteers, according to committee member Norma Jansma, the garden is owned by the Fulton Heights Neighborhood Association and located on Lyon Street between E. Fulton Street and Michigan Street NE. It has been organic for the past five years with some of the more unusual or interesting plants including gooseberries, fig, kiwi and artichokes, Jansma said, adding peppers and heirloom tomatoes are also popular.
"Our neighbors really like collard greens, tomatoes and peppers. Those are our top three that go really well," Matthew Fowler said about Treehouse Community Garden.
Located on a previously vacant lot on Logan Street south of Wealthy Street in the Baxter neighborhood Treehouse Community Garden is in its third season, having recently switched from rented raised beds to a fee-based system. "Mostly people pay into it and get a share of vegetables that are in season each week," said Fowler who lives next door to the market with his wife Kristin.
Tomatoes are popular at the Eastown Community Association's community garden as well. So much so, that one local restaurant, Harmony Brewing Company, has grown a lot of tomatoes and herbs for its pizzas and sandwiches according to Eastown Community Association Director Lindsey Ruffin. "The tomatoes do really well and get that perfect afternoon sun," Ruffin said, adding that gardeners also grow a lot of lettuce, cilantro, herbs and Swiss chard at the garden, located at 415 Ethel Ave. SE.
Many community gardens team up with area schools and non-profits. Eastown is paired with Harrison Park Elementary, Creative Use Center and AmeriCorps members. "It's fun obviously to grow food and nice to include some other organizations," Ruffin said.
Recently, the Ottawa County Food Policy Council launched "Plant a Row for the Hungry" in Holland and Zeeland, a program created to provide fresh fruits and vegetables to local food pantries and group homes. Community gardeners place a marker in their gardens as a reminder to donate the items upon harvesting. For more on the program, email email@example.com.

We getting ready to set up our new garden too! We're doing a raised bed with some timbers that didn't get used on the pergola. It will be 18" high and 5x20' Not settled on what we'll grow yet - for sure, several kinds of squash, some red peppers, a few red onions and maybe broc and cauliflower. Oh and carrots. Not sure if I'll have room for all that or not. Squash take a LOT of space!
Good luck with your detox and EMF month! I'm working on staying focused on the goal!
Yeah for union reps! Fridays off will be wonderful during the summer!

text: Share your Story: Eric Sarno by Jason H. on Monday, December 9, 2013 Eric Sarno Wisconsin On July 3rd 2007, I experienced a hemorrhagic stroke at the age of 37. I developed a sagittal sinus thrombosis (blood clot in my brain). The clot was about the size of your pinky finger. Initially my blood clot was treated with a blood thinning medication called Heparin. The hope was to thin my blood so that the blood could travel through the clot and hopefully break it up....But my body was allergic to the Heparin, and I developed H.I.T., Heparin induced thrombocytopenia. So, my body was developing antibodies that started to destroy my platelets. Platelets are essential cells in the blood stream to help regulate the thickness or viscosity of the blood. I was hemorrhaging and now because of my allergy to Heparin, there was little hope to stop the bleeding in my brain. The hemorrhaging eventually subsided, but not until about a 1/2 cup of blood spilled-out onto my brain. As a result, I have experienced the following events: 5 Neurosurgeries (removal of a portion of my skull (bone-flap), to allow my brain room to swell and heal. My original bone-flap was replaced after a few months of being removed and stored. Shortly after it was replaced, it became infected, requiring me to be treated with a powerful antibiotic called Vancomyacin, which I had to to self administer through an intravenous pic-line for a few weeks while a new bone-flap was created. When the infection cleared-up the synthetic bone flap was installed. Then, fluid started to form in the ventricles inside my brain, a condition referred to as Hydrocephalus. Upon developing hydrocephalus, I needed to have a shunt installed into my brain to drain the fluid. Shortly after a shunt was placed, it malfunctioned, so it had to be removed. I was able to have the original shunt replaced with a Medtronic VP adjustable shunt, which allows for adjustments to be made without operating. I spent about 3 weeks in the ICU. It took about 11 months of In-patient and out-patient rehabilitation to help me recover and compensate from left neglect(proprioception) and left-side paralysis. Essentially, I had to learn how to walk, eat, write, bathe, drive, and dress myself, all over again. I returned to work about 12 months after my stroke. I also was able to return to direct the Quad Cities Triathlon, the non-profit event/organization that I created and have run, since 1999. Proceeds from our non-profit organization are donated to Stroke rehabilitation and the American Red Cross. I competed in my first triathlon about 2 years after my stroke. I shouldn't forget to mention that I have developed epilepsy since having my stroke. Throughout all of my experience I am most fortunate to have been able to get back to raising my two daughters as a single father, Madeline 13 and Olivia 11. In addition to being a father, competing in triathlons, and working full-time, I have had the honor to advocate for stroke survivors at the state and national level. I serve as a board member for the National Stroke Association's advocacy steering committee, as well as serving on the advocacy board for the American Heart Association in the state of Wisconsin. I also enjoy traveling around the country presenting my story and advocacy message to stroke survivors and healthcare professionals. « Now share your story Share This

Corporations should get ready to dish the details about their directors and officers in this year's proxy statement; thanks to additional disclosures newly required by the Securities and Exchange Commission, it won't be easy.
The new disclosures—of directors' experience and qualifications, the board's overall diversity, and more—are part of a sweeping new rule adopted by the SEC in December to provide investors with more useful information. So far the spotlight has been on the new disclosures about executive compensation and risk management, but experts warn that the "D&O" disclosures will require more attention as well.
"It seems like it should be easy, but given the sensitivity of the disclosure and the number of bases internally that have to be touched, companies should allow plenty of lead time to draft this disclosure,"... To get the full story, subscribe now.

By Mike Tung, CEO of Diffbot
Many high-tech entrepreneurs think of online staffing as a bootstrapping technique—something used only in the early days of the startup, when headcounts are low and funding is tight, to get a first prototype built. Surely, as conventional wisdom goes, in-house staff need to take over the engineering reins as the company grows up.
I know I used to think that way. But now, I'm convinced that online workplaces represent something much more: an essential tool in an entrepreneur's arsenal.
Online staffing is akin to elastic computing or crowdfunding—it's a resource that doesn't just make things more efficient, but also adds a fundamental new capability to the modern company.
Take our startup as an example.
Diffbot is a VC-funded startup on a mission to build a robot that can read and understand web pages. Our company's ranks include world-class creators of artificial intelligence, natural language processing, and web search systems, and our customers include some of the world's largest Internet companies.
Last month we were presented with a compelling challenge. Our customers reported that many of the third-party contributed software libraries they had been using to access Diffbot were broken, outdated, and unmaintained. We needed to fix all of those software libraries to ensure our customers have a tested, supported way to connect with our service.
This task would have been impossible for us to do alone; we simply didn't have engineers within the company that knew all of the countless programming languages Diffbot can integrate with. Luckily, we thought to use oDesk for this. Not only would we patch up all the existing third-party software libraries, but we could create our own software libraries for every programming language under the sun.
In a matter of days, we ended up creating software libraries for more than 36 programming languages, and in the process, added thousands of developers to our customer base. We now have libraries for general purpose languages (like Ruby, Python, Java), systems languages (Go. C), scripting languages (Bash, Perl), and even esoteric ones (x86, FORTRAN, PROLOG).
In this increasingly global economy, we entrepreneurs need to think not only about selling our products and services globally, but also about leveraging global talent as a key competitive advantage in building those offerings.
Want more specifics on how to do that? Read on.
Our 3 best practices for hiring (& retaining) great remote developers
1. Qualify your candidates
Just as you would interview engineering applicants for a local job, maximize your chances of project success by making sure your remote applicants fully understand the project and have the skills needed to execute on it. The difference between hiring online and hiring locally is the sheer diversity of talent available in the global pool. We had thousands of applicants for each of our 36 posted jobs.
The key to avoid being overwhelmed by the interview process is to ask screening questions that can be evaluated succinctly and that only a qualified candidate would be able to answer. We asked each applicant to write a one-liner code snippet for making an HTTP request in the specified programming language. The one-line response (a) makes it easy for us to evaluate its correctness and (b) demonstrates that they have working knowledge of the programming language and understand the basic nature of the request, while also showing us a bit of their personal coding style. Fortunately, the oDesk job submission interface makes it trivially easy to attach a screening question to all applications.
2. Write a detailed job description
The more information you can give candidates about the project, the better they can self-select as to whether they can perform the job, resulting in higher quality applications. Giving them the big picture of the product you are trying to build and what it does also helps them evaluate whether they would enjoy working on this job, which makes a huge difference in the quality of the deliverable.
It also doesn't hurt to tell them what you are trying to do with this project, and why. In our job description, we explained why this project was important to our company. Many curious candidates checked out our website, and as a side benefit, some even signed up for our service as customers!
3. Give your workers credit
Make your remote workers feel like they are part of the extended team by acknowledging their efforts. We made a photo collage for them in our follow-up blog post to thank them and show how their work fit into the greater whole. (By the way, if you can find them on oDesk, each developer was the top person in his or her programming language and I highly recommend them!) Not only will doing so help you retain great developers, but it can also help you build your brand and attract more clients, as your remote workers can become great international evangelists for your company.
Any other tips for hiring and retaining great remote developers? Share them in the comments section below!

very cool
by Jager from North East | July 21, 2010
Even the ricers look twice at my Probe. Loads of aftermarket goodies to be had including some very cool exotic body panels. This is my second Probe GT, the first was a black GTS, very cool. Holds it own against just about anything else out there in its class, new or old. The styling never gets old... FORD should build a new version w/ a 300hp twin turbo V something in it. At 30MPG even the newest econo box is envious of this car.. problem being it sips premium fuel. You can up grade the motor to a J-spec KLZ @ 200hp, add a turbo and your pushing 250hp. Great grand touring car for long trips, comfy, fast and with a good sound system your there in style.

I bought this car new 11 years ago and it now has 91,000 miles on it. It runs like a champ and is a joy to drive. The cargo capacity is awesome and it gets better gas mileage than a lot of new cars on the market (manual). However, if you are over 5' 10" you may need a car with more head room.

Watch: Explosive 30-second teaser for 'Total Recall'
In the latest example of a somewhat annoying trend that regularly sees studios releasing teasers of freakin' trailers for highly-anticipated movies, Sony has just put out a 30-second preview of the forthcoming trailer for their forthcoming "Total Recall" remake. I know, lame.
But hey, at least it looks cool. Colin Farrell steps into the role originated by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1990 Paul Verhoeven version, starring as a factory worker who begins to suspect he was formerly a spy whose memories were "erased and replaced" as part of a larger war between "Euroamerica" and "New Shanghai" for world domination. (In case you hadn't heard, no, Mars won't playing a role in this one.)
The new film (based, as the Schwarzenegger iteration was, on a 1966 Philip K. Dick short story entitled "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale") also stars Jessica Biel, Kate Beckinsale (who will not be mimicking Sharon Stone, as she told me a couple months ago), Bill Nighy, Bryan Cranston (as the corrupt President of Euroamerica), John Cho, Bokeem Woodbine and Ethan Hawke.
So what exactly do we see in this limited sneak peek? Not a whole heck of a lot - though the futuristic, action-heavy imagery on hand does provide a stunning glimpse of the visual flair brought to the film by director Len Wiseman ("Underworld") and his collaborators. And yes, we do get to see Farrell settling into the implant machine...
Check out the teaser below and let us know what you think!
Follow me on Twitter @HitFixChris
"Total Recall" is slated for release on August 3.

Thunderstorms force officials to cancel 2nd day of Erie County Classic
The two-day Erie County Classic track and field meet at Harbor Creek's Paul J. Weitz Stadium was shortened to one day when thunderstorms and lightning led to the cancellation of Friday's competition shortly before it was supposed to start.
Huskies athletic director Andy Krahe said there will be no makeup day scheduled.
Thursday's completed action saw an individual meet record set in boys and girls events.
Sophie Mazza of the host Huskies was responsible for the girls' record. The junior's time of 15.51 seconds in the 100-meter hurdles erased the previous mark of 15.55, established by Northwestern's Amanda Seigworth in 2007.
Bethany Evankovich was a double winner for General McLane. The Lancers' freshman crossed the finish line first in the 200 dash (26.31) and joined Christina Fair, Vicky Evankovich and anchor Morgan Price to take the gold medal in the 3,200 relay (10:17.87).
Corry accounted for two victorsin field events. The Beavers' Jaynee Corbett heaved the shot put 40 feet, 8 inches, while teammate Brooklyn Goodsel cleared an even 5 feet in the high jump.
Kyle McKeen and Brandon Reiser continued a stellar season for the Northwestern boys.
McKeen set the meet record in the triple jump with his successful attempt of 45-10¼. The senior obliterated his previous meet mark of 45-1, which he set in 2012.
McKeen also won the long jump when he landed at 21-11.
The Wildcats' Brandon Reiser swept the dash finals. Reiser claimed the 100 in 11.36 and the 200 in 23.03.
Like Mazza, Harbor Creek's Jacob Pound gave the home fans a reason to cheer after a hurdles final. The senior was timed at 15.91 in the 110 event.
The Classic's participants are among those who should learn early next week where they'll be seeded for the District 10 meets back at Weitz Stadium. The Class AAA competition will take place May 15 and the Class AA action May 18.
