July 2010
The Wisconsin Bureau of Consumer Protection has released its Top 10 Consumer Complaint List for 2009. Leading the list for the third straight year are consumer complaints about telemarketers violating the state's "Do-Not-Call" law. Your calls and letters make clear that many of you are seriously annoyed when telemarketers call you, particularly if you are on that list.
Coming in at #2 are complaints against landlords for violations of the state's landlord/tenant code that works to ensure fair treatment of tenants by landlords.
Telecommunications comes in at #3 followed closely by complaints against satellite dish companies. Satellite dish complaints have increased dramatically over the past three years and weren't even in the Top 10 List as recently as 2007. Billing disputes and misleading advertising tend to be the primary areas of complaint against both telecommunications and satellite dish companies.
Home improvement complaints continue to rank high, coming in at #5. These complaints tend to focus on the contractor either not performing the work where payment has been made or for "poor workmanship."
Motor vehicle sales complaints come in at #6 and are increasing rapidly. Many of these complaints are made against dealers and are mediated by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. However, a number of the complaints involve sales over the Internet where the "buyer" scams the seller by sending a cashier's check that turns out to be false.
Coming in at a consistent #7 are credit card complaints followed by motor vehicle repair. The credit card complaints often are about disputed interest charges or unauthorized charges. Complaints against motor vehicle repairs focus mostly on poorly made repairs or charges for unnecessary repairs.
Rounding out the Top 10 List are complaints against travel companies coming in at #9 and against Internet service providers coming in at #10.
The Consumer Protection Bureau handled a total of 397,257 consumer contacts in 2009, either by phone, mail, or over the Internet, and the bureau's Weight and Measures staff checked 178,844 scales and packages.
Bureau staff returned a total of $9,585,014.49 to consumers and the State School Fund through restitution to consumers, money returned to consumers through mediation, as fines or forfeitures to the state, or through other settlements. This is up considerably from 2008 and is more consistent with prior years.
Finally, Dane County led the state in complaints, followed by Milwaukee, Waukesha, Brown, and Outagamie counties. It will be interesting to see how the complaint totals change following the closing the of the Wauwatosa, Green Bay, and Eau Claire consumer protection offices late last year.

PHOTOS: The World's 10 Best Gay Beaches 2013
It's been an especially long winter this year, but those screams of "Keep those carbs away from me!" heard echoing from gay haunts across the northern hemisphere can mean only one thing: Summer 2013 is finally on its way.
Just in time, we've compiled our annual spring list of the world's top gay beaches, complete with visuals sure to put you in your best sunny seaside mood.
It's a big world, so if your favorite gay beach didn't make the cut, we'd love to hear about it in the comments.
We'll be back next week with our naked picks for the world's best nude beaches.
Meanwhile, enjoy the view.
Photo by Ernesto Sarezale.
Click through to our sister site Gay Cities to see our 2013 picks for the world's best gay beaches.
First up: Rio's Ipanema
LOL. Isn't that Andy Towle in Mykonos?
You left out one of the beast beaches in the world. Little Beach on Maui.
@Vince Smetana: I thought the same thing when I first saw that photo, Vince! But it's actually a guy called Matt: http://www.flickr.com/photos/matthead/
Certainly think that the gay beach at Sitges deserves a strong mention. And then there's the gay beach at Ibiza …
But I do believe that Sebastian Beach in Ft. Lauderdale wins first prize.
Love this article content about beaches. Just one request to Queerty — Please think more about diversity. People of color love the beach as well. :-)I laughed when we got to South Africa and there were no people of color — even there! Thanks for hearing this. Otherwise great article. If I have missed a person of color here or there, it's the gestalt that matters. Let's strive to make the world a better place by practicing and expanding the vision of equality in everything that we as a community present.
Oof, I want to go to Tel Aviv
What about Little Congwong, Botany Bay, La Perouse in Sydney Australia or Little Beach, Makena, in Maui?
I laughed when Cape Town, South Africa, and Ipanema, Rio de Janero, Brazil, were lumped into an article on Northern Hemisphere Beaches!
Nice pics, tho.
@rlbuford: I hear you, and agree. There are indeed a few people of color in the mix here, but not as many as I would've liked. Will try to change that next week for the nude beaches. :-)
@Gregg: You forgot Sydney, Australia. But the article never claimed to be about northern hemisphere beaches.
I would cast a vote for Queen's Beach in Honolulu and the San Gregorio nude beach (the gay end, not the straight end)south of San Francisco.
What is this? How could you possibly miss the best of the best gay beaches, Haulover near North Miami. It's where all the in the know tourists and in the know residents of Miami and Fort Lauderdale go.
Not only gay but "clothing optional." That alone puts it far ahead of most of the other beaches mentioned.
Rehoboth Beach, DL is pretty nice place as well.
@Dan Allen: YAYY!
What happened to Miami's 9th Street Beach? My God, what a collection or gorgeous men of all races (especially those luscious Latinos). I call it my lucky spot
only 1 U.S. Beach really?
This is a terrible thing to confess, but I have never been comfortable at a gay beach. I know, you're thinking he must be ugly or something, but that doesn't and shouldn't matter.
There is a thing that gay men do, call it constant appraisal where one is sized up and should one possess the fault of a weak chin, a minor stomach, an undeveloped crouch, you are dismissed. I suspect many people feel this, but it appears to be bitter to mention it. There is a harshness to all this, so while it's sweet to celebrate the little patches of sand where we can freely frolic, i generally head for the mote integrated territory where people of all colors, all persuasions, looks, desires and longings are hanging out.
Another vote for Rehoboth, one of the first gay beaches in the US, Lets hear it for Poodle Beach & North Shores
you missed the best nude beach that's only half an hour from my home but I'm not saying its name because all of us who go there understand it's a secret.

With most of the NBA business talk drowning in NBA lockout water, Under Armour made a couple of big, and positive, splashes this Summer with the signings of Derrick Williams and Kemba Walker. Walker, an NYC native, college standout, and NCAA National Champion, was signed earlier this Summer and joins UA as their second point guard alongside Brandon Jennings. While Jennings will be rocking his Bloodline signature sneaker during the next NBA season, Walker will be rocking the Micro G Juke. The Micro G Juke was designed with speed in mind and features:
*Internal CompFit sleeve with padded tongue for perfect fit & ultimate support
*Exclusive Micro G foam cushioning is light, bouncy & super-responsive
*Mid-foot TPU shank for torsional rigidity & lateral stability
*Full-length molded Micro G internal footbed for extra bounce
Before Kemba gets to flash his on the NBA court, UA cooked up a couple of PE colorways for this weekend's Boost Mobile Elite 24 tournament going down at Venice Beach. While there is no word on a release for the Elite 24 PEs, colorways of the Juke will hit retail this fall at a pricepoint of $100.

MT. MORRIS, Michigan - It may be a little early for Flag Day, which is typically honored on June 14th, but fourth-graders at Moore Elementary took time out this week to learn about the history and proper care of the American flag.
It's an annual tradition for the school, said fourth-grade teacher Michele Paquet, who organized the event. Paquet, also the founder of the school's yearly tea to honor veterans, said the American Legion and its Auxiliary comes in each year to talk to students.
"They teach proper flag protocol and tell a little bit about its history," she said.
After viewing a film discussing the importance of the flag, American Legion members demonstrated how to properly fold the flag, and shared some of their own military experiences with students.

Eleven years and billions of dollars later, Itanium serves instead as a cautionary tale of how complex, long-term development plans can go drastically wrong in a fast-moving industry.
Despite years of marketing and product partnerships, Itanium remains a relative rarity among servers. In the third quarter of this year, 7,845 Itanium servers were sold, according to research by Gartner. That compares with 62,776 machines with Sun Microsystems' UltraSparc, 31,648 with IBM's Power, and 9,147 with HP's PA-RISC.
What's new:
The recent delay in the release date for the first dual-core Itanium underlines the shrinking ambitions and scope of the Intel processor, once vaunted as an industry-changing chip.
Bottom line:
The chip's story serves as a cautionary tale of how complex, long-term development plans can go drastically wrong in a fast-moving industry.
But perhaps most significant, it compares with 1.7 million servers with x86 chips, based on an architecture Itanium was intended to replace.
"At the original launch, the claims from HP and Intel were essentially saying, 'If you're not with us, you're going to die. We're going to be the chip that runs everything,'" said Illuminata analyst Jonathan Eunice. "It so happens that promise has largely been achieved, but with x86."
The saga illustrates the risks of such sweeping strategies. While grand plans offer the promise of major rewards, long development cycles mean many more chances to stumble or be overtaken by unanticipated events--such as x86's longevity. Itanium isn't a unique example; Microsoft's ambitious "Longhorn" version of Windows has been delayed and pared back several times, meaning that some technology the company hoped to release in the 1990s won't show up until 2006 or later.
Itanium did vanquish two rival chip families: Compaq's Alpha and Silicon Graphics' MIPS. It also has respectable performance and is gradually replacing the PA-RISC family from HP, which sold 79 percent of all Itanium servers in the third quarter of 2005, according to Gartner figures.
But the processor's long history has more notably been marked by a series of missteps that undermined its heir-apparent status.
The latest problem cropped up in late October, when Intel announced that the release of the first dual-core Itanium, code-named Montecito, would be delayed from 2005 until mid-2006. Earlier problems included other delays, poor initial performance and software incompatibility with the processors it was designed to replace.
Moreover, throughout Itanium's inglorious debut, Intel was dramatically improving x86 chips, and IBM, Sun and Advanced Micro Devices poured more resources into their rival chips.
The future looks unlikely to get better, said Kevin Krewell, editor-in-chief of industry newsletter Microprocessor Report. "It's not promising. It has a space that will be there for a number of years, but it's been marginalized," Krewell said. "It's not hard to see that Itanium is not going to go much beyond the niche of replacing Alpha and PA-RISC."
Billions invested
Intel and HP are mum about how much money has been invested in the project. But some data points are clear. Albert Yu, general manager of Intel's microprocessor products group, was quoted in Electronic Engineering Times in 1994 as saying the joint development effort for Itanium would entail an investment of $400 million to $500 million over several years.
But the project grew well beyond that price tag as it slipped and backers had to pump funding into a massive effort to get third parties to revamp software for the new chip family. Several analysts estimate the cost as multiple billions of dollars, and the spending hasn't stopped: In December 2004, HP pledged to spend a further $3 billion to fund Itanium-related software, hardware and marketing work.
"The fact that they spent so much money to develop Itanium implies to me they expected an equally huge return on that investment," said Linley Group analyst Linley Gwennap, who followed Itanium closely for years for Microprocessor Report.
Intel and HP acknowledge they've had challenges with Itanium but staunchly defend the effort. "I think it's doing very well," said Lisa Graff, general manager of Intel's high-end server group. She points to gains in Itanium's scaled-back mission of replacing Power, UltraSparc and other reduced instruction set computing (RISC) chips and observes that half of the world's 100 biggest companies use Itanium systems.
"I think Itanium is still the architecture for the next 20 years," Graff said. "It's the newest architecture that has come out. It has the headroom. I think the RISC architectures will run out of steam."

An influx of Perry and Cumberland county roadwork projects has led PennDOT to postpone a planned Marysville area rock slope project.
The rock slope work, originally slated for 2015, was to address two potential rock-slide areas along Route 11/15, directly south of Marysville. Vegetation would be removed from the rock face, followed by wire mesh installation and possibly the addition of a fence and wall to increase driver safety. Work below the Rockville Center and at the Perry and Cumberland county line would have closed a portion of Route 11/15 up to eight weeks.
That posed a problem for Marysville because another portion of 11/15, known as "the subway," a bridge over Marysville's N. Main Street, also is scheduled for repairs in 2015. Working on both project simultaneously could have had motorists going on several detours.
Marysville Borough Manager Scott Weaver said PennDOT moved the rock slope project to 2016 to avoid driver confusion. However, Weaver said the borough hopes to address another roadwork issue before the rock slope project begins. Marysville's S. Main Street bridge is slowly becoming structurally deficient. And, council president Stephen Copp said it's an obvious detour for motorists who are looking to avoid 11/15 closures.
"It's an unadvertised detour," Copp said. "Local people know it. We figure (traffic is) going to increase tenfold."
Marysville already has seen increased traffic due to the construction of a roundabout at Sterretts Gap on the Cumberland and Perry county line -- the intersection of state Route 34, Sunnyside Drive and Mountain Road -- which resulted in a lengthy closure of Sunnyside Drive.
Potential for increased traffic traveling the S. Main Street bridge worries Weaver, who said the bridge's railings are degrading quickly. "All you see is rebar and a little bit of concrete left."
The county's engineer normally inspects the bridge once every two years, but, because of S. Main Street's declining condition, inspections now are conducted yearly. A weight limit has not been established.
Copp and Weaver attended a Harrisburg Area Transportation Study meeting, and others shared their concern. "We opened some eyes," Copp said.
"I think it was a big concern because they have so many projects going on around here," Weaver added. "They were chatting back and forth. They want to get this done like tomorrow."
Weaver said PennDOT representatives are to inspect the bridge soon. "We just need to do something."

The views expressed are his own.
The crisis at the News of the World broke in July 2011. It had been gathering for five years, since the first public intimations surfaced in 2006 of a culture of using private investigators to hack into the mobile phones of those the newspaper wished to investigate. Two 'rotten apples' were thrown out by News International, the parent company: these were Glen Mulcaire, the private investigator employed by a number of papers to find out secrets of the objects of their investigations; and Clive Goodman, the News of the World (NotW ) reporter who covered the royal family and whose stories had used material gleaned by Mulcaire from interceptions of the royal princes' phones. The rest of the barrel, the paper and the company said, was unblemished: as evidence of purity of soul, the then editor, Andy Coulson, resigned, disavowing all knowledge of the hacking but shouldering responsibility as the one on whose watch this had happened. A few months later, he was employed as director of communications by David Cameron, the leader of the Conservative Party and of the opposition; when Cameron moved, in May 2010, into Number 10 as prime minister, Coulson retained his post and moved with him. It was reported that several of those who met Cameron at this time warned him against employing Coulson. The latter's claim, that he had not asked a senior reporter about the source of stories which would be among the most important published in any given week, astonished those who had any acquaintance with journalism. However, Cameron said he accepted his word, that Coulson deserved a 'second chance' and that he had skills which the leader of the opposition needed.

Julie Hermann's role in helping build Louisville into a powerhouse college program over the past 15 years helped make her the eventual choice to take the top job in the Rutgers athletic department earlier this month.
While much of the attention in the past couple of days has been on Hermann's alleged past at Tennessee and whether that might impact her future at Rutgers, Louisville Courier-Journal sports columnist Tim Sullivan just tweeted out this nugget:
If Julie Hermann can't salvage #Rutgers situation, #Louisville would likely take her back. Interesting days ahead.— Tim Sullivan (@TimSullivan714) May 27, 2013
Tom Jurich has been a steadfast supporter of Hermann's -- first hiring her to be the women's volleyball coach at Northern Arizona and, in 1998, bringing her on board as one of his top deputies in the Louisville athletic department.
"I've never seen anything but impeccable behavior," Jurich told The Star-Ledger last week.
"I knew things didn't end well (at Tennessee)," he later said, "but that happens to a lot of coaches at a lot of places."

Muslim-Jewish-Christian Alliance for 9/11 Truth
"The Important Thing is, Not to Stop Questioning" –
Albert Einstein
|Contact | Home
By George Washington
Anti-semitism is one of the most frequent allegations levied by defenders of the government's version of 9/11 against people questioning that account.
Is it true? Are 9/11 activists really anti-semites?
Well, prominent Rabbi Michael Lerner and other Jewish leaders are calling for 9/11 truth. Indeed, Rabbi Lerner says that uncovering the truth of 9/11 has the power to bring positive, lasting change to our nation and to our world <http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1566566606/104-4302294-7530306?v=glance&n=283155> .
And some of the leading members of Scholars for 9/11 Truth, Scholars for 9/11 Truth and Justice <http://www.scholarsfor911truth.org/WhoAreWe.html> , Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth <http://www.ae911truth.org/> , and other groups questioning 9/11 are Jewish.
As are some of the other prominent individuals <http://www.911truth.org/article.php?story=20041026093059633> who have called for a deeper investigation into the events of 9/11. Indeed, some of the most committed and hard-working 9/11 activists, such as Jon Gold <http://www.yourbbsucks.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=&f=14> and many others, are Jewish.
Moreover, the charges of anti-semitism are clearly illogical. For example, a book has been labelled as anti-semitic <http://www.911blogger.com/node/3614> even though its co-editor is Jewish and it contains contributions from 4 Jewish writers <http://www.911blogger.com/node/3601> .
So that must mean that these are "self-loathing" Jews, right? No, actually. I know many of these people quite well, and they are wholly comfortable being Jewish. Many are proud of their heritage and their faith.
As former Secretary of State Colin Powell once stated, "It is not anti-Semitic to criticize the policies of the state of Israel." Presumably, criticizing illegal acts by Mossad or other Israeli services would also be acceptable.
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with having a debate based upon whether or not there are credible facts justifying the hypothesis that portions of the 9/11 attacks were subcontracted out by rogue elements within the U.S. government to people associated with Mossad or other Israeli intelligence services, just as it is reasonable to discuss whether or not there are facts implicating British or other allied intelligence services in aiding and abetting the attacks.
There are admittedly a very small number of people claiming that they are for 9/11 truth but making anti-semitic remarks. However, they are shunned by the overwhelming majority of 9/11 activists who abhor anti-semitism. People who say "the Jews did it" are probably government infiltrators <http://www.icdc.com/%7Epaulwolf/cointelpro/cointel.htm> . Again, however, debating factual evidence one way or the other of involvement of people affiliated with Mossad is not anti-semitic . . . it is called testing a hypothesis and is Constitutionally-protected free speech.

There are two types of novels that deal with evil in circulation today, and both are widely read.
Perhaps reading one occasionally will not upset the reader — though in some cases it might — but a diet of them could possibly alter one's outlook and attitudes for the worse.
The books in question today are Grist by Linda Little (Roseway Publishing, Fernwood, no price given), and The Spartak Trigger by Bryce Allen (Bedlam Press, Necro Publications, Fla.). The author is a Maritimer living in the mid-western states.
These books represent two types of evil addressed to two types of readers. Under the guise of a three-generation family narrative, Grist depicts several types of evil which can take hold of a person and ruin him, such as depression, the after-effects of war and rigidity of belief.
In The Spartak Trigger, the whole world and everyone in it are soaked in violence and hatred. The characters, for the most part, hate themselves and everyone else.
Grist and its like are aimed at educated readers — even intellectuals — and are written in a conventional manner. The Spartak Trigger is, on the whole, aimed at younger generations. The book seems to rush along without stopping or slowing until it's done. The use of the present tense throughout is of great assistance.
The story of Grist begins with the strange courtship of Penelope, a teacher, to Ewan MacLaughlin, a hardworking solitary, mill owner. They marry, but soon she discovers "Ewan was not a kind man." Nevertheless, she stays with him, in spite of his becoming stranger and even more rigid in his ideas. The next generation suffers in different ways, from being very badly brought up, and severe depression — eventually to the point of suicide. Penelope's grandsons, after a hard upbringing, have a better fate, they go West — the time is about 1930 — probably to find a better life in every way then. This is the barest outline of a novel which is finely written, but ultimately is dangerously depressing.
The Spartak Trigger is harder to comment on because the pace is so fast and the characters have little personality, they are but puppets set up to cheat, kill and be killed. Paradoxically, the book is an easier read than Grist, although by no means to be recommended.

PARCHMENT, MI — Don't go to the Parchment Community Library on Saturday, Oct. 19, for a little peaceful reading.
The library, at 401 S. Riverview Drive, will be celebrating its 50th anniversary from 1 to 3 p.m. with a jazz band, birthday cake and the unveiling of a dozen 4-foot by 6-foot photos representing Parchment's history.
Former Parchment resident Tom Maas selected photos for the permanent display and Bob Cox, of SignCrafters in Parchment, is doing the enlarging, mounting and installation, library director Teresa Stannard said.
The library launched its golden anniversary celebration with a float in the Kindleberger Summer Festival parade in July and will continue it the week of Oct. 14 with surprise giveaways to patrons.
Current and former library board members and Friends of the Parchment Community Library have received special invitations to Saturday's public celebration, including Bob Wagner, who served as the first president of the library board.
Veva Abrahamson was the first Parchment librarian in 1963 and served in that capacity for 20 years, the first six as a volunteer, before her retirement.
Abrahamson's involvement began when she, Lorna Gibson and other community members representing the Parent-Teacher Association and Mothers Study groups urged the local school board to leave the school libraries open during the summer. The school board complied at the high school in 1960 and at all local schools the following year, with mothers volunteering to serve as the librarians.
In 1962, Abrahamson hosted a group of local residents interested in starting a community library, and the year after that the library became a reality.
To legitimize her new career as a librarian, Abrahamson, who died in 2004, went back to school, eventually earning bachelor's and master's degrees in library science from Western Michigan University.
Stannard, library director since 2001, said the library had four temporary locations — in an office, two homes and a school — before a permanent building was constructed in 1989.
Others who have held the position of library director are Susan McIntire, Karen Moening and Lynne Bridges Meek, who was co-director with Stannard until Meek's retirement about a half-dozen years ago.
In addition to the open house on Saturday, there will be a book sale at the library from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. An early-bird sale, with a $1 admission, will begin at 9 a.m.
For those interested in more details about the library, a DVD of "The Library Story," produced by Parchment area resident Steve Gibson in 2002, is available to be checked out, Stannard said. The DVD includes interviews with people who were instrumental in the founding of the library.

Media mogul Rupert Murdoch is adding Harlequin to his empire. Today, News Corp. announced a plan to acquire romance novel publisher Harlequin Enterprises from Canadian newspaper company Torstar Corp., for $415 million in cash. Murdoch photo: Bloomberg
The UpTake: News Corp. is acquiring Harlequin Enterprises, the Canadian romance novel publisher whose audience is women, but which has a history of male owners. Now, it will be newly divorced Rupert Murdoch's baby.
Harlequin Enterprises has been in the business of getting female readers to tear through the pages of its romance novels for more than 60 years. Today, the publisher of titles such as Expecting the CEO's Child and A Merger by Marriage, announced its improbable new owner: 83-year-old media mogul Rupert Murdoch.
News Corp., the media empire founded by Murdoch, announced that it is acquiring romance novel publisher Harlequin Enterprises from Canadian newspaper company Torstar Corp., which also owns the Toronto Star newspaper, for $415 million in cash in an effort to boost its global book publishing. The Toronto-based company, which has published more than 6 billion books since it was founded in 1949, has gone digital in recent years, moving into e-books, downloadable audio and smartphone apps.
Given its feminine reader focus, you might suspect that there was a woman behind the company at the start, but not exactly. When Canadian publishing executive Richard Bonnycastle started Harlequin in 1949 the company initially published a wide range of American and British paperbacks, including mysteries, Westerns, and cookbooks.
It was not until 1957 that Harlequin began buying rights from Mills & Boon, a British publisher of romance fiction that had been around since 1909. Here's where a woman stepped into the picture with what turned out to be a smart business suggestion: Mary Bonnycastle, wife of the founder, was filling in after the chief copy editor died. She noticed the enormous popularity of "these nice little books with happy endings," according to the company's website, and suggested the company concentrate on them. By 1964 Harlequin was publishing romance fiction exclusively, and in 1971, Harlequin bought Mills & Boon outright, including the romantic talents of more than 100 British authors.
After getting an MA in journalism from Syracuse University, Teresa worked as a general assignment newspaper reporter—general on purpose because besides the usual city hall and police articles, there was the chance to fly an F-18 with the Blue Angels and tag along with bounty hunters on a stakeout—all good preparation for covering entrepreneurs.

LAWRENCE — A 26-year-old Lawrence woman gave birth to a baby boy Sunday in the back of an ambulance in the Quaker Bridge Mall parking lot, police said.
Police Lt. Mark Ubry said paramedics were transporting the mother-to-be from her Town Court home when they realized they could not make it to the hospital before she went into labor. The crew stopped in the parking lot less than a mile from her home, and EMTs Joseph Horn and Dee Clark assisted with the successful delivery.
Mother and baby were then transported to Capital Health Regional Medical Center, Hopewell, where Ubry said they were both in good health.

Microblogging giant Twitter this week announced the launch of Twitter #music, a new service that will change the way people find music, based on Twitter.
According to an entry posted to the official Twitter blog:
The service uses Twitter activity, including Tweets and engagement, to detect and surface the most popular tracks and emerging artists. It also brings artists' music-related Twitter activity front and center: go to their profiles to see which music artists they follow and listen to songs by those artists. And, of course, you can tweet songs right from the app.
The songs on Twitter #music currently come from three sources: iTunes, Spotify or Rdio. By default, users will hear previews from iTunes when exploring music in the app. Subscribers to Rdio and Spotify can log in to their accounts to enjoy full tracks that are available in those respective catalogs. Twitter said it will continue to explore and add other music service providers.

One could argue that I'm the queen of the jabs.
attempt to work from home with the kids while my husband works his 9-5. Most days are OK, but every so often there are those really tough parenting days that fry my brain and zap my every last will to live.
I have this adorable habit of allowing my frustration simmer on low until it comes to a rolling boil. I then release tension by tossing out a good parenting jab at my poor, unsuspecting husband. I know it's not mature. I know it's not fair. I also know it's not good for our marriage and yet, I do it anyway. Thirteen years of marriage and I'm still jabbing.
I know I'm not the only jabber out there; we all do it at some point. Whether under our breath or right out in the open, we moms say these things almost begging for a fight.
1. "You just don't get it!"
Poor Dads. They really get the poo slung at 'em sometimes (and not just by the kids). Dads know how hard we work even if it doesn't feel like it sometimes.
2. "At least you get to pee in peace!"
Kids don't storm the bathroom with Dad the way they do with Mom. Do our kids think we're relaxing or planning to stay awhile because we pee seated?
3. "I do everything around here!"
I know it sure feels that way but let me ask you this: Are you the one unclogging the garbage disposal or mowing the lawn? If you answered yes then you're allowed to use this phrase forever and ever.
4. "You're never here!"
He's probably never there because he's busy providing for his family. Give Dad a break.
5. "They're your kids too!"
Tell him something he doesn't already know. He was there when his kids were made and there when his kids were born. He also spends the majority of his day worrying about paying for their college education.
6. "Watching your own kids isn't babysitting!"
Dads might call their opportunity to watch the kids unsupervised "babysitting". I know it totally drives us batty but they don't mean it the way it sounds (I swear).
7. "Stop! You're doing it wrong!"
Dads are damned if they do and damned if they don't. So what if he's doing wrong? At least he's doing it.
8. "Why do I always have to ask for your help?"
Because you do. The end.
9. "I'm not your mother!"
Your husband may need some caring for but guess what? He's a happier and better man because of you.
10. "I can't take it anymore!"
Dads don't know what to do with this information. Do they hug you? Run and hide? Fart to ease the tension? Deep breath. Calm down. Be specific. (And Dads, please don't fart.)
You know as well as I that your kids have a damn great dad. You also know how hard you're both working to raise happy, confident children. Since the blessings far outweigh the crap, let's say we focus on the good in each other and burn off the frustration in more productive ways. Easier said than done? You betcha my friends.
Have you ever caught yourself uttering these phrases?

EWING — For 12 years, Gregory and Christine Parr's trusty van has been a valuable part of their family. The vehicle, instrumental in transporting their daughter, Catherine, and her wheelchair to doctor's appointments and physical therapy, was wrecked in an accident earlier this year, and the family is struggling to adapt.
The Parrs were driving to yet another therapy appointment when they were suddenly rear-ended, and the van, though cosmetically intact, has irreparable damage.
To add insult to injury, Christine has surgery this week for a hernia incurred while lifting Catherine's chair into the van, and Gregory will go under the knife to repair an injury to his rotator cuff.
Needless to say, the Parrs need a miracle, and they're hoping their entry into a national contest through the National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association will give them one. Through the contest, the association will award three families a brand new, handicapped-accessible van.
The contest takes place in conjunction with National Mobility Awareness Month. Participants were asked to submit an essay talking about their own "local hero," and Christine wrote about Catherine, who was born with an undiagnosed lysosome storage syndrome. Catherine is unable to walk, and she has the mental capacity of a 2-year-old, yet she is an active student at Mercer Elementary School, where she gets physical and occupational therapy.
"Just the other day, they fixed her hair up," Christine said, noting how happy and excited her daughter was to show it off.
"I wish people who were healthy were happy like her," said her mother. "She is a very simple person who just wants to be loved and cared for. People could learn from someone like her."
Recently, the Parrs discovered the exact nature of Catherine's condition — Sanfillippo syndrome, a rare metabolism disorder that makes the body unable to properly break down long chains of sugar molecules.
Before the accident, the Parrs learned Catherine is eligible for an experimental drug trial that will aid in fighting the disease, but without a van, Christine wonders how they will get her to a doctor's appointment.
Lifting Catherine, who weighs 65 pounds before adding her scoliosis and leg braces, has become difficult for the Parrs. The weight of the wheelchair has also become too much for the Ewing couple and Catherine's 85-year-old grandmother to lift.
"We have to transfer her from a wheelchair to the seat of the van," Christine wrote in her contest entry. "My husband is undergoing rotator cuff surgery and I am under doctor's orders not to lift anything over 10 pounds."
Their teenage son, William, valiantly offers help, but Christine said, "it's not fair for him to be our Hoyer lift," in reference to a brand of handicap-assistance equipment.
The Parrs did receive a small settlement for the accident, but it isn't nearly enough to cover a modified van. The cost for the type of van the family needs is $60,000, and that will be tough to cover. Gregory is unemployed, devoting all of his time to caring for Catherine. Christine works during the day at Rossmoor, an adult community. The staff, whom she describes as "wonderful people … like a family to me," have been circulating fliers urging people to vote for the Parrs in the online contest.
Win or lose, Christine hopes her story will help others who are in the same situation as her family.
"God is always looking out for me and my family," she said. "All I can do is have faith."

OMG!!! I went to change my LO diaper today and she had a rash all over her stomach, like hives. It was around 3pm, It was only on her stomach! I called the doctor to see what or if we should do anything.
I told her I did have crab yesterday (for the 1st time since EBF) around 7pm and also that I changed the detergent I was using, she has worn other cloths that were washed in it. She stated that if it was from my milk that it would take 24 hours for it to affect LO. She also stated that if it was from food or detergent that it would be all over her body. She told me that most likely it was her cloths rubbing???!!!???!!!
I was hoping that you ladies could be of some help, not that I don't trust my doctor, but you ladies have the experience!!!! How would I know if my LO had a allergic reaction from my milk. I read that it takes anywhere from 4-6 hours for food to go through my milk. SO if it was from my milk the rash would have start at her night feeding at 3 and 6.
Or is the doctor right in saying that it will take 24 hours for it to react with my LO.
I am confused, please HELP!!!! I love Crab and I would hate to give it up if she really is not affected by it.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The House Ethics Committee has established an investigative subcommittee to determine whether Rep. Michael Grimm (R-Staten Island/Brooklyn) violated the Code of Official Conduct in connection with his recent federal indictment, according to a statement from the committee.
But the subcommittee will defer action at the request of the Department of Justice.
A statement from Ethics said the subcommittee will examine whether Grimm broke "any law, rule, regulation, or other applicable standard of conduct in the performance of his duties or the discharge of his responsibilities" having to do with the 20-count indictment that charges Grimm with tax evasion, perjury, obstruction and other charges.
"Under the House Rules, today's routine announcement by the Committee on Ethics was fully expected," said William McGinley, one of Grimm's attorneys.
It is standard for an investigative subcommittee to be formed following a member's indictment.
The full release is below.
The Department of Justice has asked the committee to defer consideration of the matters in the subcommittee's jurisdiction until Justice's investigation of Grimm is complete.
The committee, following precedent, unanimously voted to recommend to the subcommittee that it defer action on its investigation at this time.
The committee voted to form the subcommittee on May 8.
Rep. K. Michael Conaway (R-Texas) will serve as the chair of the subcommittee, and Rep. Linda T. Sanchez (D-Calif.) will serve as the ranking member.
The other two members of the subcommittee are Reps. Charles W. Dent (R-Pa.) and Ted Deutch (D-Fla.).
There was no further comment from Ethics.

All lanes of Interstate 205 south have been reopened after a truck fire blocked traffic earlier today at the Oregon 213 south exit.
Traffic temporarily was stopped while firefighters responded to the burning truck -- an Oregon Department of Transportation incident-response vehicle that caught on fire. The truck's driver got out safely and was not injured.
The fire burned so hot that the right lane of the exit ramp from I-205 to Oregon 213 was damaged. ODOT road crews inspected the road bed and made emergency repairs before reopening the road.
Meanwhile, southbound traffic on I-205 remains backed up and delays are expected.

Two manufacturers of test-and-measurement equipmentAgilent Technologies (Palo Alto, CA) and VXI Technology (Irvine, CA)recently joined efforts to introduce the LAN-based eXtensions for Instrumentation, or LXI. This open standard, maintained by the LXI Consortium (San Diego, CA), will simplify instrumentation communications by adopting standard Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) LAN hardware and software. Twelve other companies joined the LXI group in December.
A typical LXI module provides its own processor, LAN connection, trigger inputs, and power. Developers can start an LXI-based system with one module and add others as needed. And as a system grows, engineers need not calculate new cooling and power requirements, buy a larger backplane or enclosure, nor switch to a new system architecture. LXI-based modules add another benefit: They readily work with other LAN-based or IEEE 488-based instruments.
Why develop another standard when VXI, PXI, USB, and others already exist? According to the LXI Consortium, for one reason or another, those buses have not gained broad acceptance within the T&M industry. Also, the widespread use of LANs will work in favor of LXI-based systems: Even inexpensive desktop PCs include Ethernet ports, so engineers can quickly get LXI modules and test systems up and running.
LXI modules use standard Interchangeable Virtual Instrument (IVI) drivers to communicate with each other and host computers. These drivers simplify test-system development and programming and make it easy to substitute one instrument for another without requiring code revisions. (PXI and VXI systems use these drivers, too.)
The Ethernet community has already addressed engineering issues that surround high-speed communications, and IC and module manufacturers offer a wide variety of products that simplify adding Ethernet ports and circuitry to existing designs. In addition, software suppliers produce ready-to-go TCP/IP stacks that simplify the software interface between existing applications and firmware code. This existing level of support makes the adoption of Ethernetand LXIa logical choice for instrument manufacturers and users in the years ahead.

Heard that she sunk on the way to Mobile. Had a friend on there. I have heard every one is ok but I would like to hear any kind of news. Anyone know or hear anything?
The mate on board came over yesterday and told me the story. Quite a scary ordeal. Very very happy everyone made it out of there alive.
Can you share any of the details, or was it told in confidentiality?
I'm glad everyone's ok. Best wishes to all!

That was a miserable 40 year old POS ex supply boat. I bet some big seawater line was all rotted out and blew up flooding the engineroom and if the door at the forward bulkhead wasn't closed the entire hull then probably flooded.
too old even for Nigeria I guess

After a stirring comeback victory Friday night at Yost Ice Arena, the Penn State men's hockey team couldn't repeat the feat 24 hours later.
Alex Kile and Phil Di Giuseppe scored two goals apiece Saturday night, and No. 10 Michigan beat the Nittany Lions 5-2 in Ann Arbor, Mich., for a split of their Big Ten Conference weekend set.
Goalie Steve Racine stopped 18 of 20 shots for the Wolverines (15-9-4, 7-5-2-1), who jumped out to a 3-0 lead after 40 minutes and cruised to victory, halting a four-game losing skid. Tyler Motte also scored for Michigan.
Curtis Loik and Taylor Holstrom scored third-period goals for the Lions (6-20-2, 2-11-1-0). Starting goalie Matthew Skoff finished turned aside 29 of the 33 shots he faced in 48 minutes and 16 seconds of action. P.J. Musico stopped all five shots he saw in 11:19 of play.
Friday night, PSU rallied from 3-1 and 4-3 deficits to beat Michigan 5-4 in overtime. This time, the Wolverines never let the visitors gain momentum.
Motte's goal 7:48 into the contest staked Michigan to 1-0 lead. Second-period scores from Kile (at 6:58) and Di Giuseppe (on the power play at 13:07) made it 3-0.
Another man-up goal from Kile 8:23 into the third ended Skoff's night and brought Musico off the bench for only his fourth appearance this season.
Loik ended Racine's shutout bid at 12:24, converting a partial breakaway after a pass from captain Tommy Olczyk.
Holstrom trimmed the Wolverines' lead to 4-2 at 18:15, but with Musico on the bench for an extra attacker, Di Giuseppe's empty net goal at 19:05 set the final score.
Next up for Penn State is a pair of games against second-ranked Minnesota next Friday and Saturday nights at Mariucci Arena in Minneapolis.

Aching with Arthritis?
What is polyarthritis, and what tests are needed to diagnose it?
Answer (Published 2/24/2005)
Polyarthritis means inflammation of more than one joint and is most often associated with rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease (one that occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues). Polyarthritis is also associated with lupus, polymyalgia rheumatica, and sarcoidosis. All of these autoimmune disorders can be triggered by infection, tissue injury, or emotional trauma in people who are genetically predisposed to these conditions.

Polyarthritis, as well as its underlying cause, can be diagnosed by physical exam (the affected joints are swollen, stiff, painful or tender, and may feel warm and appear reddened) as well as by a variety of blood tests. These would include a measure of your erythocyte sedimentation rate (sed rate). A high sed rate suggests the presence of acute inflammation and occurs with rheumatoid arthritis and other immune-mediated connective tissue diseases such as lupus.
Conventional medicine treats autoimmune diseases including rheumatoid arthritis with steroids and other immunosuppressive medications, most of which are toxic when used long-term. Patients dependent on these strong drugs are less likely to respond to natural treatments, which can moderate autoimmunity and help control symptoms. Here are my recommendations:

Random thoughts about the General Motors and Chrysler viability plans:
--Chrysler and GM have long said that a Chapter 11 bankruptcy would be disastrous because consumers won't buy vehicles from a bankrupt automaker. They're still saying that, but they've developed a second talking point: The federal government can't afford an auto bankruptcy.
GM said if it filed for Chapter 11 reorganization, Washington would need to provide operating loans to the automaker because no bank would lend it the money. That could cost the federal government as much as $100 billion.
Chrysler Chief Executive Officer Bob Nardelli estimated that his company would need as much as $25 billion to finance a Chapter 11, which he said would put "unbearable stress" on its suppliers.
GM and Chrysler's message to the feds: Give us $14 billion more in bailout money now or as much as $125 billion later in bankruptcy court.
Yes, the federal government could pull the plug next month on Chrysler and GM and call in the $17.4 billion it has already lent them. But you might as well put a giant "for sale" sign on Michigan if that happens.
--Several analysts complained to me on Tuesday that the Obama administration's automotive task force essentially punts the hard decisions about the automakers' restructuring plans to a bureaucratic committee. Some were hoping the president would appoint a strong "car czar," who would have broad powers to make fast decisions about GM and Chrysler.
But a few knowledgeable people I've spoken to wonder if the president has been unable to find anyone willing to take a thankless and possibly risky job. As my friend John McElroy, host of "Autoline Detroit" television show, said on Tuesday, no one wants to be known as the person who presided over the failure of the domestic auto industry.
--In announcing the elimination of the Hummer, Saab and Saturn brands, GM finally is acknowledging what analysts have said for years: The automaker has too many brands and not enough resources to keep them fresh in a highly competitive market.
GM has long insisted that its eight brands are a competitive advantage, giving GM the ability to serve a broader range of consumer interests than any other automaker. But GM has more brands now than it did it 1960s, when it controlled 50 percent of the U.S. market. GM's market share is now down to around 20 percent.
No other automaker sells more than three brands in the United States. GM probably could do just fine with only two brands, Chevrolet to serve the mass market and Cadillac for luxury buyers.
--Chrysler and GM's chances for survival would be greatly enhanced if consumers would start buying cars and trucks again. With U.S. sales this year expected to only total about 10.5 million vehicles, there are just too many car companies chasing too few consumers.
--At a news conference Tuesday, GM Chairman Rick Wagoner said almost everything is under consideration as the automaker restructures its far-flung global operations that also are suffering in a worldwide economic crisis.He refused, for instance, to rule out a possible sale of its Adam Opel Germany automaking subsidiary, which GM has owned since 1929. But Wagoner said it won't consider selling its Chinese auto operations.
"We think China is really fundamental to our future," Wagoner said.
--There was one light moment in what was an otherwise gloomy rolling out of the automakers' viability plans.
About 375 reporters and analysts dialed into Chrysler's conference call late Tuesday. Our phones were supposed to be in a listen-only mode, but as Nardelli laid out Chrysler's plan, I heard someone on the line say, "Holy crap." Holy crap, indeed.

Syracuse, NY – Word of George Steinbrenner's death brought sadness to a Syracuse baseball executive with whom he worked closely, Tex Simone.
"We were so close, once he bought the Yankees and we got acquainted and everything," Simone, executive vice president of the Syracuse Chiefs, said this morning. "I feel bad."
Steinbrenner's relationship with Simone began in 1973, when he bought the Yankees from CBS. The Triple-A Chiefs had been the Yankees' top farm club since 1967 and Simone then was the Chiefs' general manager.
The Boss's legendary headstrong manner made itself apparent right away.
"When he bought the New York Yankees he thought he bought the Syracuse Chiefs with it," Simone said. Not so – the Chiefs, then and now, are a community-owned baseball club.
"I had to explain it all to him and he didn't believe me, that we owned it and he didn't own it," Simone said. "I had to convince him and he believed me, finally."
Steinbrenner's philosophy was to use farm teams not to develop talent for the big club, but to store talent that he could trade to major league teams for established players. He traded more than 40 Chiefs between 1973 and 1977, sometimes giving the receiving teams their pick from the Syracuse dugout.
"He made some big trades, like six to one. Seven to two," Simone said. "There were all kinds of trades."

SYDNEY - Matthew Moore knows the value of the celtic music industry to Cape Breton from summers working with a Gaelic concert series, Féis an Eilein, in Christmas Island.
Matthew Moore
But when he started attending Cape Breton University and saw first-hand just how wide the diversity of culture was on the island, he thought music might be the best way to bring all the cultural communities together.
So when he had to create a self-directed project to complete his Community Studies program at the university, everything started to fall into place.
"The idea of the project is you're suppose to find an issue in the community, or it doesn't even have to be an issue, just something you want to tackle in the community to make a difference with it," said Moore. "I decided I have a huge love for working with music - it's keeps me employed in the summertime and it keeps me sane in the wintertime - I knew I wanted to work with music for my project. I decided I wanted to organize a musical diversity concert here at CBU."
Although he's personally involved in the Celtic music industry and appreciates it, he felt other diverse forms of music weren't being heard enough and thought a special concert might be a way to work towards solving that issue.
"I thought it would be interesting to have a concert that highlights many different aspects of music that we have around the island as possible and by doing that, you're increasing people's ability to take in different forms of music and accept it," said Moore.
Many of the acts include members of the university's faculty, staff and student body. Chris MacDonald and Carl Getto will perform jazz selections on guitar and piano, Geoffrey Lee-Dadswell will perform on cello, a group from the Unama'ki College will sing and the Feisty Fiddlers, under the direction of Kyle MacNeil, will play a few tunes. There will also be performers from China and Egypt, an a cappella group, and the fiddler Hannah Stockley from Sydney.
The concert will be held at Room CS 104 in CBU's Verschuren Centre on Thursday, Feb. 13, starting at 7 p.m. The room can only hold 125 and it's free admission so you might want to get there early, advises Moore.
WHO: Performers from various parts of Cape Breton's cultural community are getting together for a concert, including the Feisty Fiddlers, Hannah Stockley, Geoffrey Lee-Dadswell, Endnotes, Carl Getto and Chris MacDonald.
WHAT: Concert that features all types of music.
WHERE: CBU's Verschuren Centre, Room CS 104
WHEN: Thursday, Feb. 13, 7 p.m.
WHY: To celebrate Cape Breton's cultural diversity

DEERFIELD, Mass. (AP) - The woman who died while tubing down the Deerfield River in western Massachusetts last weekend has been identified as Vermont resident.
Authorities say the woman who went missing while tubing with friends in Conway on Sunday and whose body was recovered downstream in Deerfield on Tuesday was 24-year-old Molly Dowd of Brattleboro, Vt.
The Northwestern district attorney's office says the state medical examiner confirmed the body's identity.
The cause of death remains under investigation, but is not considered suspicious.
Dowd was a 2007 graduate of Brattleboro Union High School and coordinator of the gardens at Green Street School and Holton Home.
Although using inner tubes to float down the Franklin County river is a popular summertime activity, Conway Fire Chief Robert Baker said the area where Dowd went missing is just downstream from a dam where there are strong currents and turbulent waters.
We will update this story as more information becomes available.

American Anthem
I don't care who you are--if you watched the Olympic gymnastic competition you wanted to squash He Kexin like a bug when Nastia Liukin got silver after tying on uneven bars. And your eyes welled up with happy tears when Luikin and Shawn Johnson went one-two in the all-around competition. No? OK, well maybe the latter was just me, and maybe I was watching after a couple of Vodka Red Bulls and the smoky bar was screwing with my eyeballs...yeah, that's it. Also, let's not forget that death-defying--in my book anything that involves somersaulting over and then catching a bar less than an inch thick can lead to death--silver-medal high bar routine from OU Sooner Jonathan Horton. The Olympics may be over, but the gymnastics champions are still flipping and flying for their fans in this year's Tour of Gymnastic Superstars. Nastia, Shawn, Jonathan and the whole gang will be at the American Airlines Center Saturday, along with Shannon Miller, America's most decorated gymnast, and Paul Hamm, the only American male to win all-around gold. Go watch the guys and gals do some fancy acrobatics without the judges or those pesky Chinese gymnasts. Get tickets from ticketmaster.com ($24.50 to $79.50) or for more info go to gymnasticssuperstars.com.

JACKSON, MI -- Surrounded by the grease and glamour of the Jackson County Fair, two combatants met this week in a battle of digestive proportions.
In one corner was Zeke Jennings, Citizen Patriot entertainment guru. In the other corner was me. Our mission: Out-eat the other guy with delicious fair food. At stake was nothing except everlasting glory.
Here is the story in our own moving words.
Jennings: I'd been out to lunch with Brad numerous times and watched him eat unusual things. To put it mildly, I didn't like my odds in an all-you-can-eat challenge, but I wasn't about to let him know that. At the very least, I was hoping to make it interesting.
We hit the fair Aug. 6, and the rules were simple: Each man picks an item, in turn, and both must eat it. We would go back and forth until someone cried "uncle."
Brad won the coin toss.
Flory: Surveying the arena of competition, it was gratifying to see midway food innovation remains vibrant. One booth, for example, sold fried frog legs and fried squid.
"Does anyone eat frog legs at the fair?" I asked the chef. "We ran out last night," he said with pride.
For my first pick, I honored traditional fair-food excellence instead of new delights. I chose Fiske Fries. Some call them potatoes cooked in oil. I call them rapture in a cup. Fiske makes the world's best French fries.
Jennings: Brad is right. The fries were delicious – the taste of fresh potatoes with the right amount of grease and salt. I wasn't as quick eating them as Brad, but I wasn't far behind.
In prepping for this contest, I saw an old Flory column expressing his un-American distaste for apple pie and apples in general. So, my first choice was candied apples.
I thought I ordered caramel-covered apples. Nope. They were apples covered in hard, red candy that tasted like bad Kool-Aid. I probably enjoyed mine even less than my counterpart, who scarfed his down after being energized by the fries.
Flory: Using intimidation as a weapon, I ate the apple core as Zeke watched in revulsion. It was a show of pure bravado. Someone must like those rock-hard apples, but not me.
To cleanse the palate, I switched to Mexican food, figuring Zeke might adjust poorly switching from sweet to spicy. We ate two tamales each from a booth run by Maria's Sunnyside Café in Adrian. Maria knows her tamales. They were so good I didn't mind, or even move, when I soaked my butt by sitting on a wet picnic table.
Jennings: And cleanse the palate, they did. Two bites into a tamale and I'd forgotten that dreadful apple. If Brad thought Mexican food would throw me off, he was mistaken.
I abandoned my apple strategy and decided to go with what sounded good. I thought about pizza because I can almost always eat more pizza, but opted to keep that card in my hand.
A classic fair item? A corndog! Of course. But wait, they have bacon corndogs now. That's even better. A hot dog wrapped in bacon and then coated in batter and fried.
It was good, but the thick layer of batter and chewy, stringy piece of bacon – I like mine crispy – took their toll. I was suddenly feeling full and hoping Brad would pick something simple, but I knew better. He eyed some gluttonous goodies from Randy's Roadside BBQ. I was toast.
Flory: Like Frazier stung by an Ali roundhouse, Zeke wobbled. He broke off tiny chunks of corn dog with his fingers and forced them down his reluctant gullet.
"Now the hammer comes down!" I announced loudly.
Zeke turned greener than the GEICO gecko when he saw me sizing up Randy's mouthwatering innovation called "Pulled Pork Sundae." It's built to resemble an ice cream treat – but with meat, potatoes and gravy! What could be better?
Jennings: In the spirit of Roberto Duran, I was a man still on his feet but well aware he is beaten, I waved my hand and said, "No mas."
Flory: I felt so sad for Zeke, I ate a delicious Pulled Pork Sundae, anyway. That cheered me up.
Jennings: It cheered me to hear you were too full for dessert after that pork sundae. I took solace in thinking maybe I didn't lose as badly as I first thought, although something tells me you would have made room for more.
When it comes to consuming fair food, Mr. Flory is still the king of the newsroom.
Flory: Being king is good, but don't tell my cardiologist. It's all a lie, Dr. Patel.

Today, the girls from Woods Lake Elementary School Team C now call her the "old coach."
"They're just silly," said McDowell, 30.
McDowell is one of the 500 coaches who will be leading 2,200 girls during Thursday's Girls on the Run 5k.
The event is the culmination of the 10-week character development program for girls in third through fifth grades.
The girls will gather at Waldo Stadium at 5:30 p.m. and the run will begin at 6:30. The route will take runners through downtown Kalamazoo and back to Waldo Stadium.
About 1,500 community runners are expected to join the girls and the coaches.
Community runners can sign up from 4 to 6 p.m. at Waldo Stadium. Registration is $30 per person and $70 per family. Alumni of the program can run for a $15 fee.
In her 13 years of coaching, McDowell has found that Girls on the Run teaches many lessons beyond fitness. One important lesson that she emphasized this year was teamwork.
At one point, some of the girls on her team started to form a clique, and McDowell stepped in and reminded them of what the program was all about.
"We don't have to like each other, but when we're there as Girls on the Run, we're helping each other," she said. "The point is to bring everyone as a team together."
Throughout the 10 weeks, McDowell said she also taught the girls about inner beauty, healthy eating, self-motivation, peer pressure, the importance of getting good grades and being thankful.
McDowell said one lesson in particular that resonated with the girls was one when she talked to them about how about how young women and their bodies are portrayed in the mass media.
"Those shoes aren't going to make you skinny," she told the girls as she showed them a magazine ad of a skinny runner in brand-name shoes. "That was the lesson my girls really stuck with."
Girls on the Run served as a safe haven for the girls to talk to someone about issues such as peer pressure, self-confidence and body image, McDowell said.
"It gives them their own little club."

The National Theatre Production of The Magistrate is broadcast live to the big screen in the auditorium of the De La Warr Pavilion
The Magistrate
Academy Award nominee and Tony Award-winner John Lithgow (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Shrek, 3rd Rock from the Sun) takes the title role in Arthur Wing Pinero's uproarious Victorian farce, directed by Olivier Award-winner Timothy Sheader (Crazy for You and Into the Woods, Regent's Park Open Air Theatre, London).
In a similar vein to the National Theatre's smash-hit classic comedies, She Stoops to Conquer and London Assurance, The Magistrate is sure to have audiences doubled up with laughter. When amiable magistrate Posket (John Lithgow) marries Agatha (Olivier Award-winner Nancy Carroll, After the Dance), little does he realise she's dropped five years from her age – and her son's. When her deception looks set to be revealed, it sparks a series of hilarious indignities and outrageous mishaps.
Doors open at 6.30pm. Everyone to be seated by 7pm. Full bar will be available from door time prior to screen times.

NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana -- Nine people were wounded in gunfire on Bourbon Street early Sunday, New Orleans police said in a nola.com report.
The most seriously wounded victim, a woman whose age was not provided, was in critical condition after the shooting around 2:45 a.m. in the 700 block of Bourbon Street, two blocks from Jackson Square and just around the corner from Pat O'Brien's and Preservation Hall.
The shooting victims were taken to nearby hospitals, and the NOPD was gathering details at 4:30 a.m. Sunday, a police spokesman said.
Because of its iconic New Orleans location, the Bourbon Street shooting quickly generated national news.
Michael Tilbury, who lives on Pirate Alley, a few blocks from the shooting, said he heard the early-morning shots and hopes "the city takes this as a wake-up call."
"The shots woke us up," Tilbury said. "We've lived here for two years, never heard or seen anything like this."
He said he would like more NOPD staffing in his district. He added that he hopes the Bourbon Street shooters had been caught on one of the many cameras in the French Quarter.
"I hope we catch him and make a total example out how stupid and reckless this is," Tilbury said.
