Be seeing 39 again for a long time - 34 before 39
I have been hearing this "junk" talk from when the stock was 24$ and all the way up to 40.
Set backs happen, that is when the smart investors move in and pick up bargains.
The big operators in this game know how to manipulate the scared people and drive prices down so they
can pick up bargains. Do your own DD and act accordingly.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
I'll just get more shares with my DRIP account. Hope it does drop along with several others that I hold.
Yes! Let's hope it drops 50% along with all stocks!
Only an idiot hopes that all the stocks they own go down in price.
Aio .. a (new) subsidiary of AT&T announces new markets, on voice & data.
No contracts & varied plans are offered. This is reported not to have any affect on T's current projected forecast
Sentiment: Buy
Today#$%$ is just a reaction to the excellent report from TU that caused institutions to move funds to them. The recovery has already started and we will likely see $38 next week.

Spadafora Defeats Hernandez
Ringside by Scott Ploof
Photos by Emily Harney
Unbeaten junior welterweight Paul Spadafora (45-0-1, 19 KOs) stopped Alain Hernandez (18-9-2, 10 KOs) with powerful hooks and combinations over five exciting rounds. Unfortunately the punishment to the body and head of Hernandez was too much for the Tijuana, MX fighter as he was unable to come off his stool in the corner to battle in round six. The seven bout fight card at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT was promoted by Michael Acri Boxing.
NABO and NABF featherweight champion Matt "Sharpshooter" Remillard (23-0, 13 KOs) won a hard fought eight round unanimous decision over a game challenge from Oscar Cuero (13-4, 10 KOs). Scores of the bout all in favor of Remillard read 80-72 twice and 79-73. Remillard picked his spots and kept on the move as Cuero charged at him and kept the fight in close throughout. Cuero kept firing punches at Remillard, however he also kept leading with his head, which frustrated Remillard during the bout. Remillard adjusted his attack and in the end was able to outbox Cuero.
Undefeated junior welterweight prospect Danny O'Connor (14-0, 3 KO's) won a very workmanlike eight round unanimous decision over Humberto Tapia (15-16-1, 8 KOs). O'Connor landed combinations off of his jab which frustrated Tapia throughout. O'Connor won by scores of 80-72 twice and 80-71. For more details and photos click here…

Stieglitz retains WBO title
By Karl Freitag
WBO super middleweight champion Robert Stieglitz (39-2, 23 KOs) scored a clear twelve round unanimous decision over Enrique Ornelas (30-7, 20 KOs) on Saturday night at the Freiberger Arena in Dresden, Germany. Stieglitz brought the fight to Ornelas early, but Ornelas got untracked as the bout progressed. In round seven, Ornelas had his best round as he punished the champion, who was starting to get busted up. However, Stieglitz adjusted in round eight and was completely back in control by round nine. The fighters went toe-to-toe in an exciting twelfth round. Scores were 117-111 on all cards.
The win was a measure of revenge for Stieglitz, who suffered one of his two losses to Ornelas' brother Librado Andrade. It was also Stieglitz' first fight under trainer Dirk Dzemski, after longtime trainer Torsten Schmitz signed with the rival Sauerland stall.
WBO/WIBF/WBF world champion Ramona Kühne (17-1, 5 KOs) impressively defended her female super featherweight belts by lopsided ten round unanimous decision over previously unbeaten Irma Balijagic (12-1, 5 KOs) . Scores were 100-90, 100-90, 97-94.

By Gabriel F. Cordero
At its annual convention, the WBA will analyze a protest made by the managers of Panamanian boxer Ricardo Cordoba, who lost a split decision on November 13 against Cuban Guillermo Rigondeaux for the WBA interim super bantamweight world title. Cordoba's managers hope to get a direct rematch. A group of experts may also review the fight video . "That type of fighting generated many comments," said WBA vice president Gilberto Jesus Mendoza. "The championships committee will analyze them, but everything is a process." Judges Nelson Vasquez, Puerto Rico (117-109) and Ruben Garcia U.S (114-112) scored it for Rigondeaux. Raul Caiz U.S (114-112) had Cordoba winning. The WBA will hold its annual convention from November 22 to 27 in Managua, Nicaragua.

Fonfara comments on quick KO
By Przemek Garczarczyk
Andrzej Fonfara (15-2, 6 KO), the 23-years old Polish WBC Youth light heavyweight title holder, needed only 23 seconds to knock out Anthony Doughty (9-2, 8 KO) in the main event of Fight Night 13 staged in UIC Pavilion in Chicago. "I don't care who you put in front of him in the 175 pound division – if Andrzej connect with his right, you are going down hard," said Fonfara's trainer Sam Colonna. Colonna, who also trained other notable Polish fighters like WBC light heavyweight champion Tomasz Adamek and heavyweight contender Andrzej Golota must be pleased with his young fighter's performance, who in his new weight class won three straight fights by KO.
Doughty, who won 8 of 9 his fights by knockout, wanted to engage Fonfara in the slugfest, but fight was over in just 23 seconds when Fonfara connected with the left hood and devastating right. Doughty spend almost five minutes in the ring motionless, before he was able to leave canvas on his own power. "I want to defend my WBC Youth title in January or February of 2011 and steady climb in the rankings. I was surprised that fight ended so quickly, but I did see the opening and just did what we practiced in the gym," said Fonfara.

Flores wants rematch
By Ray Wheatley — World of Boxing
B.J. Flores gave IBO cruiserweight champion Danny Green one of his toughest fights and revealed that the Australian did not hurt him at any stage during the fight at the Challenge Stadium Perth, Western Australia last Wednesday – and he's confident he can defeat "The Green Machine" in a rematch. Most of the boxing writers at ringside had the fight was much closer than scores of the IBO judges who had it 116-112, 117-111 and 116-112. Flores said "I know Markus Beyer gave him a rematch so, having made so many fans here in Australia, maybe Team Green could do the same with me. You only had to see Danny after the bout to know what sort of fight I gave him. Check out his eye, his cheek, his jaw. I'm keen to get us fighting again and if, as part of our contract, that means me fighting on one of his undercards, I'd love to do it. But it just wasn't enough to win in his home town." (more…)
Albert triumphs in Miami
By Phil Doherty at ringside
The recent return of Pugilistic Promotions to Miami demonstrates a commitment to help rebuild local boxing from the ground up. Tonight that building process went a step further as the boxing ring needed to be assembled while fans waited and watched. Once the ring was completed the fights themselves proved compelling and competitive.

Moreno defended his belt successfully twice this year against Nehomar Cermeño, managing to win both encounters by split decision. He has been world champion since May 31, 2008, when he dethroned Wladimir Sidorenko in Germany. With the WBA regular world title now vacant, the organization is looking a possible candidates to fight for that belt.

Flower Design
A flower transmits emotions that are quintessential universal messages. Love, passion and friendship, fidelity, joy, wealth. Everything can be said with a flower, a natural element that completes preparations of all kinds and must be found in all special events. Whatever style you choose for your big day, the floral arrangements will be the frame for the memories of your most beautiful image. Caution, therefore, and patience are required in the choice of the Mother Nature's gown at your wedding.
Let yourself be guided by skilled Italian flower stylists, true masters of an ancient art that will translate your emotions into a delicate and fragrant floral language.
From the bouquet to the buttonhole, centerpieces for your reception or for the church you have chosen for the ceremony, everything must be co-ordinated, a flowing theme that will make your wedding unique and unforgettable. Impress with a purely Italian artist's touch and offer your guests a welcome surprise, as they exclaim in wonder, as you have always dreamed, and you see the faces of your nearest and dearest delight in the colour, fragrance and life with which you have surrounded them.
Creative staff with an emphasis on new experiments, a flower workshop with a unique style achieved with creativity, technique and expertise. Designs providing colour and love at every event, with the same attention afforded to large-scale projects and simple but important details.
There are many ways to say 'I do'. Speaking it is just one of those. A flower arrangement is another 'I do', one that resonates more than a voice. Each flower can reveal something and each couple, through a gallery of scents and colours, can tell their own story. So that saying 'I do' is an allencompassing experience of sound, of essence,
of light.
Creativity, technique and experience are the clues of Elisabetta Cardani floral laboratory. A floral design close to the new style experimentations, where the thousand shades of the flowers meet innovative materials, in a spirit of continuous research of the new trends.
Here is how our floral designer Elisabetta Cardani imagines a party "Wine&Wedding Style": "An Italian sunny day at the end of summer, the light is magical and the garden gives the ideal temperature for a wedding party. Tall vases with Amaryllis Belladonna, fragrant Tuberose, Dahlias, Lotus and Papyrus leaves merge with Hortenses bushes and adorn the buffet. The table is a riot of colors: roses in ancient tones, the grey of the Astrantias, Symphoricarpos, ivy, obviously grapes and many many candles; the hortenses and the ribbons around the napkins give a touch of peacock blue. An alluring picture showing beauty and elegance. The right interpretation for places full of experiences, where everything is addressed to your shining dream to live".

My enduring memory of Domanick Davis is from two seasons ago when he had a problem with fumbles. He never ducked reporters after games, and in practice, he was relentless in working to correct it, which he eventually did. He was a professional in every sense of the word.
He was productive, too. He had 1,000 yards in two of his three seasons and averaged 4.1 yards per carry. At one time, the Texans believed they'd build their offense around Andre Johnson, David Carr and Davis. Davis is gone, probably for good, and there are lingering questions about Carr.
His problem was that he got hurt in two of his three seasons. And during this training camp, there seemed to be little doubt his football career was over Even when he walked across the practice field–and he never did much more than that–he seemed to be dragging his left leg along. He never looked comfortable in the few running drills I saw him do.
Coaches didn't really have a decision because they'd never seen much of him. They're not sure what they have in Walli Lundy, Vernando Morency and Chris Taylor, but they know they're faster and younger and healthier.
Seth Wand was cut on Saturday. Two years ago, it looked for a brief time that he would solve the Texans' problems at left tackle. He started that season when the team won seven games and seemed to be getting better.
He had a famously bad game against Dwight Freeney, but a lot of established tackles, including Jonathan Ogden, have had bad days against Freeney. It's incredible that the coaching staff was too dumb to give him consistent help from a tight end or running back.
The previous coaching staff soured on Wand and pretty much had him out of their plans by last season. That decision was one of many Charley Casserly disagree with that staff about. Once it became clear that rookie left tackle Charles Spencer could play left tackle there was no place on the roster for Wand.
The Texans have drafted 19 players in the first four rounds of their first four drafts. Seven of those players are now gone, including three third-rounders: Seth Wand, Dave Ragone and Charles Hill. They no longer have two second rounders (Tony Hollings and Jabar Gaffney) and two fourth rounders (Jonathan Wells and Davis).

Regional News Briefs
Police kill man who refuses to drop knife
Police shot and killed a 45-year-old man wielding a knife and threatening suicide Wednesday night.
The man was shot when he refused to drop his weapon, police said.
Officers were called to a home in the 7200 block of W. Mill Road for a report of a man armed with a weapon about 8:15 p.m., police said. Officers encountered the man in a living room, and when he refused several demands to drop his knife, a 29-year-old officer with three years on the force shot him.
The officer has been placed on administrative duty pending an investigation, which is standard procedure in officer-involved shootings. No officers were hurt.
Man shot in back on north side
A 29-year-old man was shot once in the back about 1:40 a.m. Wednesday near N. 5th and W. Center streets, police said.
Police said the shooting was related to a group of people who were fighting nearby, outside Ed's Lounge.
The man is expected to fully recover, police said.
A 28-year-old man in the fight was treated at a hospital for minor injuries. Four men are in custody, and police also found a handgun and suspected marijuana.
Grievance filed over SDC election
Resident representative Virgie Wynn, who was defeated in the April 12 Social Development Commission election for another term on the governing board of the anti-poverty agency, has filed a grievance for the way the election was handled.
She lost by a vote of 43 to 35 to businessman Delta Triplett.
In a letter to SDC officials, Wynn complained that the voting site for District 2, Parklawn Assembly of God Church, was listed as 3725 N. Sherman Blvd. But the doors at that address were locked, she said.
There also were no signs directing voters to go around to the back to enter the church and vote, she said.
She's asking that the matter be investigated and that another election in District 2 be held.
$1.17 billion budget proposed for MPS
Milwaukee Public Schools would spend a total of $1.17 billion next school year to educate children, down 2% overall from this year's $1.19 billion budget, according to a proposal presented to the School Board this week.
Despite federal sequestration that endangers millions in grant money for MPS and a statewide budget proposal that would keep spending on public schools flat, Superintendent Gregory Thornton is calling for a slight increase in school-based spending for teachers and food service, even though overall spending would decrease.
Thornton's proposal also would give elementary schools more money for art, music and physical education teachers.
Change backed in how city funds pensions
The Common Council's Finance and Personnel Committee endorsed a proposed ordinance Wednesday that would change the way the city contributes to the combined fund of the Employees' Retirement System.
City contributions to the fund, now estimated at $4.5 billion, are based on an annual valuation. The calculation in recent years has been subject to wide swings. For 2013, the city had to contribute $59.3 million to the fund; in 2011 and 2012 there were no contributions.
The proposed ordinance would change that and require the contribution rate to be applicable for five years, not one year. The ordinance also would require annual contributions regardless of whether the fund reaches 100% funding status.
The city's actuary has estimated the percentage of covered wages needed to make a sound contribution to be between 16% and 18%.
Cornwall a 2014 candidate for judge
Cedric S. Cornwall, a judicial court commissioner for the past seven-plus years, announced Wednesday that he is running for the seat in Branch 32 held by Circuit Judge Michael Goulee, who plans to retire at his term's end in August 2014. That means Cornwell will be on the ballot in April 2014, assuming he survives any primary that might be necessary.
In November 2008, Cornwall announced his candidacy for a Branch 25 election that wasn't held until April 2010, but then never officially registered as a candidate. Instead, he was twice considered for judicial appointments by former Gov. Jim Doyle, but each time others got the jobs.
Sex offender sought after car abandoned
Hikers and residents near Kettle Moraine State Forest are being alerted about a 38-year-old sex offender last seen in the forest and who has warrants for his arrest.
Larry James Arnold was reported missing Saturday evening when a vehicle was found abandoned on a snowmobile trail in the state forest about 100 yards south of E. Moraine Drive in the Town of Kewaskum, the Washington County sheriff's office said.
Arnold had permission from the vehicle's owner to use it, but the owner with whom Arnold resides in the Boltonville area did not know why it was abandoned.
Tracking and cadaver sniffing dogs have been used this week to search the area. Officials say they have no evidence that Arnold is still in the state forest. Arnold is wanted on outstanding felony warrants issued in 2010 in Wood County for bail jumping and contempt of court after he failed to appear in court in a disorderly conduct case. He is registered as a sex offender and was convicted of second-degree sexual assault of a child in 1995.
Fire at Kenosha house kills woman, 67
A 67-year-old woman was killed in a fire that swept through a Kenosha house Wednesday.
Three people were inside a home in the 6300 block of 28th Ave. when the fire ignited around 9 a.m., the Kenosha Fire Department said. The victim was taken to Kenosha Hospital Medical Center and then by Flight for Life to the Milwaukee Burn Center, where she died at 2 p.m.
Kenosha fire officials did not release the name of the victim. Investigators are trying to determine the origin and cause of the blaze.
Woodchuck hunting gets cold reception
Madison - A handful of animal lovers tore into a bill that would establish a woodchuck hunting season, blasting the measure as unnecessary during a hearing Wednesday and calling it another sign that legislators are obsessed with killing wildlife.
Eight people addressed the Assembly Natural Resources and Sporting Heritage Committee about the bill. One was the measure's author, Rep. Andre Jacque (R-De Pere). Another was a Department of Natural Resources wildlife ecologist. The others all spoke against it.
"I think the primary (motivation) here is thrill kill," said Randy O'Connell, 59, of Omro, who described himself after the hearing as a recovering hunter. "This culture, not a heritage, needs to come to an end."
Woodchucks, also known as groundhogs or whistle-pigs, are beaver-like creatures known for burrowing and gobbling up plants at a manic pace. They've been on the state's protected species list for decades. Property owners can kill nuisance woodchucks, but anyone else needs a license.
DNR ecologists don't have any estimates on how many woodchucks live in Wisconsin, but they say they're abundant and it's not clear why they were ever placed on the protected species list. Some experts have speculated wildlife officials wanted to ensure woodchucks continued to burrow because the holes can provide shelter for other animals.
Jacque introduced a bill earlier this month that would remove woodchucks from the protected species list and establish a hunting and trapping season from March 1 through Dec. 31. The bill would prohibit the DNR from setting any bag limits.
Hunters already can kill a range of animals in Wisconsin, including deer, bears, wolves, mourning doves, coyotes, squirrels, rabbits and wild pigs. Legislators also have contemplated feral cat and sandhill crane seasons in recent years.
Marathon County Jail's searches are limited
Wausau - The Marathon County Jail where two corrections officers were attacked last month does only limited searches of inmates returning to jail from work-release programs, despite a recommendation to beef up searches.
A Wausau Daily Herald report said 79 of the jail's 279 inmates are in the facility's Huber section, meaning they're eligible for work release.
When they return to jail, they go through a metal detector and are patted down for weapons, but the jail doesn't have enough staff to do strip-searches. In theory, that could mean inmates are sneaking in weapons or contraband.
The state Department of Corrections says strip searches are authorized for inmates convicted of felonies. A 2011 independent report recommended the Marathon County Jail implement those searches, but authorities say their resources are too limited.
Not guilty plea entered in 1998 homicide
Oconto - A former Oconto Falls man pleaded not guilty Wednesday in a cold-case homicide.
Prosecutors charged Peter Hanson, 52, last month with being party to first-degree intentional homicide.
Hanson is accused in the death of Chad McLean, 19, of Green Bay, who disappeared in 1998 after a night of partying. His body was found a month later beneath a bridge.
Hanson is being held on $500,000 bond. He has been in the Oconto County Jail since November on unrelated charges.
Homicide charges sought in fatal crash
Eau Claire - The driver of a semi has been arrested in a crash that killed a passenger in Eau Claire County.
Nicholas Neuenfeldt, 40, of Boyd died Friday when the semi hit a power pole near Augusta. The driver was injured in the crash, which temporarily knocked out power in the area.
Sheriff's officials are recommending charges of homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle and homicide by negligent use of a vehicle.
Priebus to speak at state GOP convention
Madison - Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus will be the featured speaker at the state GOP convention May 4 in Wausau.
Gov. Scott Walker and U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, both frequently mentioned as 2016 presidential contenders, are also scheduled to speak at the convention on Saturday.
Employee falls at warehouse, dies
Beloit - An employee of Woodman's Food Market has died of injuries suffered in a fall at its warehouse.
Bradley Olson, 21, died Tuesday from head injuries, the Beloit Daily News reported.

29K without power in Amador, Calaveras counties
Power expected to be restored by 9 p.m., PG&E says
Some power has been restored to customers in Amador and Calaveras counties after PG&E reported an outage affecting 35,000 customers Monday.
About 29,000 in communities of Ione, Jackson, Sutter Creek and San Andreas are impacted.
Most of those outages took place about 12:30 p.m., the power company said. Power is expected to be restored to all customers by 9 p.m.
Several of them are related, but PG&E officials haven't solidified many details yet on what's causing the outages.
Spokeswoman Brandi Ehlers says the cause of the outage is still being investigated, but it's believed to have originated in the utility's transmission lines.
PG&E crews on the ground and a helicopter crew are working on trying to find the source of the problem.

Interesting information about Reality TV
Facts you never needed to know about reality TV but you're here so might as well read on.
True, there's no script, but writers like me do craft plot lines, twist and tweak footage to create conflict and of course, shape those stories. Oh, and we redo things all the time.

Show Me All Your Scars
True Stories of Living with Mental Illness

True Stories About Conception, Adoption, Surrogacy, Pregnancy, Labor, and Love
In these 23 original stories, mothers and fathers from all walks of life--straight, gay, single, surrogate, biological, adoptive--explore the challenges and rewards of parenthood.
Here, among other adventures, they fall hopelessly in love with newborns, secretly fear having made huge mistakes, race to finish birthing at home before the paramedics arrive, struggle with the bureaucracy of international adoption, despair of ever getting a one-year-old to nap, are nearly broken by colic, encounter other judge-y parents in birthing class, learn how to parent children with special needs, and more.

Same Time Next Week
True Stories of Working Through Mental Illness

The 18 frank, often intimate true stories collected in Same Time Next Week highlight the need for empathy and compassion between therapist and patient, and argues for a system that encourages human connection rather than diagnosis by checklist.

True Stories About How We Die
The modern healthcare system has become proficient at staving off death with aggressive interventions.

These twenty-two compelling personal-medical narratives explore death, dying and palliative care, and reveal the inner workings of a system in which doctors, patients and their loved ones battle to hang on—and to let go.

Foam isn't a substance so much as a state of being. When pockets of gas are caught in a liquid or solid, you get foam.

Robert Harris Zimmerman, 81, of Bala Cynwyd, a lawyer and music lover, died Monday, Aug. 11, of multiple myeloma at Penn Hospice at Rittenhouse.
Mr. Zimmerman was the son of an immigrant Lithuanian father and an American mother. He and his brothers, Mark and Barry, were raised in Pottsville, Schuylkill County.
Though neither parent had attended high school, the Zimmerman boys excelled academically. His brothers earned advanced engineering degrees; Mr. Zimmerman graduated from Amherst College and the University of Pennsylvania School of Law.
While at Amherst, he pledged Phi Delta Theta despite the fraternity's prohibition on Jewish members. As a result, the national organization expelled the local fraternity from its ranks, but the local group figured it was worth it to keep Mr. Zimmerman, his family said.

Shortly after graduating from the University at Buffalo, Jajean Rose-Burney and his wife, Ana Hernández Balzac, joined the Peace Corps. They were assigned to Puebla, Mexico, a city whose metropolitan population is 2.6 million. During their 30-month stay there, Jajean and Ana helped change the direction of urban sprawl, reinterpreted the highly polluted 90-square-mile Valsequillo Reservoir from a "dead" lake to an important wildlife region, nominated the area as an international Important Bird Area, established it as a Ramsar Convention wetland of global importance and gained state park status for part of the region. In the process, they gained recognition for their work from Felipe Calderon, then president of Mexico, and won the American Planning Association's Pierre L'Enfant International Planning Award.
During that same period they also established a regional society of bird watchers, led trips to birding sites throughout central Mexico and wrote, edited and published two bird books.
Anyone who has reservations about our young men and women today has only to look at these accomplishments to be encouraged. We can only hope that Jajean can continue them in his new role as development coordinator for the Western New York Land Conservancy.
How did all of this come about? When the Peace Corps assigned the couple to a government planning office in Puebla, Jajean was not at all enthusiastic. A birdwatcher by avocation, mentored by local senior ornithologists Dave Junkin and Bob Andrle, Jajean had hoped to be assigned to a tropical forest rich in bird species. Instead, he and his wife were sent to work in urban Puebla leading environmental education projects, preparing a temporary employment program for rural communities and designing a training center for low-tech sustainable technologies.
Checking a map of the region looking for birding opportunities, Jajean noticed the 11-square-mile Valsequillo Reservoir. When he asked about it, he was told it was "too polluted to drink from, swim in or even boat on. No fish and no birds. The reservoir is nothing more than a smelly, toxic mud hole."
But Jajean visited the reservoir himself. What he found surprised him:
"Yes, the water is used as a dump for nearby industry. Yes, the fifth-largest city in Mexico pumps its untreated sewage into the reservoir. Yes, half of the reservoir is covered with invasive water hyacinth. But still, the water was clear and blue. Huge rafts of ducks were floating on its surface. Flocks of herons were wading in its shallows. Fishermen were pulling in the day's catch. Farmers were collecting the last of the season's harvest along its shores. No, the reservoir wasn't dead; it was teeming with life."
Excited by this discovery, the couple convinced their boss that they could submit the reservoir area as a Ramsar conservation site and Jajean went to work collecting data.
His own yearlong survey listed 169 birds, eight of them protected or threatened and 20 particular to that region. He gained support from Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla biologists and their students to inventory reptiles and amphibians, and colleagues to do the same for plants. His final wetland proposal was for a 96-square-mile area – twice the size of Buffalo.
In doing this he helped head off plans to develop urban Puebla to the shore of the reservoir. Working with the federal environmental agency and Valsequillo area zoo Director Amy Camacho, who fortunately had been appointed state environmental director, they gained support for the designation of part of the Valsequillo borderlands as a state park, thus changing the vision for the area from urban development to an ecologically sustainable region.
Building upon the interests of university students who had helped with the bird inventory, Jajean and Ana then organized a club that sponsored monthly field trips and promoted Puebla birding. And with local colleagues they prepared an identification guidebook, "Las Aves del Municipio de Puebla," which includes information in Spanish about 80 of the most common birds of the state.
Jajean, Ana and others also prepared the guide, "The Birdwatching Hotspots of the State of Puebla, Mexico."

text: Punit Dhillon, OncoSec's President and CEO, commented, "The issuance of this patent is significant, because the Chinese authorities have given the company patent approval for our claims regarding the OMS electroporation device itself, as well as the method of use. These are broad claims, wherein OncoSec now has the ability to deliver various therapeutic agents through its electroporation device, including bleomycin and DNA IL-12, as well as to treat tumors with these agents following surgical resection. Thus, this patent will act as a part of the company's core strategy as we continue to develop and build our commercialization strategy in China, one of the largest emerging oncology markets..(would love to see something happen here.)

Find all that you need to research Toyota SUVs.
Toyota Motor Corporation, a Japanese auto manufacturer that is part of one of the largest companies in the world, has an extensive portfolio of automobile models. And a with a fine-tuned lineup of passenger vehicles, at least some of which are suitable for the automotive needs of nearly every country in the world, there is also an extensive and historical list of Toyota sport utility vehicle models. Toyota Motor Company was founded in 1937, even though it produced its first automobile a year earlier, in 1936. Toyota Motor Company is the parent company of several other vehicle brands, including the sporty Scion brand and the premium Lexus brand, and Toyota has stakes in several other automotive manufacturers, as well. Toyota's extensive experience in the automotive industry has led to the development of many models of Toyota sport utility vehicles, some of which have been sold continuously for decades.
The Toyota Land Cruiser is one of the most popular Toyota sport utility vehicles, and it is the longest running model in the history of the Toyota Motor Company. The Land Cruiser, a full size, four-wheel-drive sport utility vehicle inspired by military trucks, entered production in 1951. Primarily known as an SUV, the Land Cruiser has also been available in various forms such as utility trucks, convertibles, and station wagons. The strength and longevity of the Toyota Land Cruiser has made it a target of competing sport utility vehicle manufacturers. Another long-running vehicle in the Toyota SUV range is the 4Runner, a mid size sport utility vehicle that Toyota introduced in 1984. The first generation of the 4Runner was basically a Toyota pickup truck with a fiberglass body, but the 4Runner has come a long way. The Toyota 4Runner is still built at Toyota assembly facilities in Japan and Brazil. There are other full size and mid size Toyota sport utility vehicles that have rounded out the lineup over the years, including the Venza, Highlander, FJ Cruiser, and Sequoia.
The Toyota sport utility vehicle range is also supplemented by a few crossover SUV models. The Toyota RAV4 is one such option, and it is recognized as the first compact crossover. Toyota introduced the RAV4 in its domestic market of Japan, as well as in Europe, in 1994. Export to North America followed in 1995. Not all examples of the RAV4 are equipped with four-wheel drive, which was actually one of the model's early selling points, because the RAV4 offered potential customers the choice. The Toyota RAV4 is often considered a catalyst for the crossover SUV category, paving the way for healthy competition.

Gaudreauby Bakers Shirts Have Arrived
Kent Wilson
December 21 2012 11:37AM
So after a couple long weeks of waiting, I finally got a knock on my door from Purolator this morning. The big box of yellow shirts are here.
I'll try my best to get these things out to everyone who ordered them ASAP. There are a couple of options here:
1.) Mail 'em. This is unfortunately the only option for anyone outside of Calgary.
2.) In you're in Calgary and live somewhere on the south side, I may be able to deliver them right into your mailbox for you. Alternatively, I may meet with a couple of the site's writers who ordered shirts this weekend for a beer or two. If you want to come by a pub and pick up your shirt(s) in person, we could probably arrange it for saturday or Sunday.
I'll get busy putting everything together this afternoon. If you're in Calgary and prefer the straight mail option, no worries. Otherwise let me know via email or comment if you want your shirt(s) delivered or if you want to go the pick-up route (with beers or at my house if you're really desperate).

1. Interesting about this European disquiet
The thing we always heard about guys going over to Europe during the lockout is that while they wouldn't exactly be able to make the kind of living they were used to in the NHL, they could do well enough, and play hockey at a high level.
And that may very well be true.
What's Happening to the Heat?
Kent Wilson
December 20 2012 11:34AM
When I previously wrote about the Abbotsford Heat's uncanny success through the early going, the team had suffered just one regulation loss through it's first 10 games and was a league leader in just about every category. Much of that success carried through the month of November, which is why they remain on top of the Western Conference standings with 36 points.
Unfortunately, the Heat have hit the inevitable wall in December, having managed just two wins in their last eight contests and just nine goals over that span. So what happened?
