Dasha Kornienko 12.07.2009
Place: Toronto(Canada)
e-mail email@example.com
After being a ski instructor for 7 years, Dasha became involved in the Toronto longboarding community in 2006. She became interested in exploring all facets of skateboarding--downhill, slalom, long-distance pushing, and miniramp. Downhill skateboarding became her passion and she went on to compete in Eastern and Western Canada, the U.S., as well as World Cup races in Europe. Currently, she is ranked 1st in the women's category of the IGSA (International Gravity Sports Assocation) world ranking. Skateboarding has allowed her the chance to go places she would never have gone before and make friends all over the globe. Apart from her need for speed, Dasha's passion is working with kids. With a Bachelors of Health degree in Kinesiology from York University, she is a strong believer that physical activity in childhood directly affects one's well-being in adult life. As a female instructor at C.J. Skateboard Park & School (in Toronto), she strives to encourage girls and women to discover the amazing potential of their bodies and to experience the joy of skilled movement. The physical empowerment of more women and the entry into skateboarding of greater numbers of females will help to break down the connotations of skateboarding as a male-dominated sport. She is proud to be a part of the Airflow team and look for her interview in the Spring issue of Concrete Wave magazine which is on newsstands now.

How late is too late when sealing grout?January 26,2013
Q. My shower stall was renovated with ceramic tile three years ago. Is it too late to seal the grout? Also, one grout joint in a corner has cracked, from the floor to the ceiling. How can I fix it so it wont crack again?
A. You can seal the grout the day after you applied it or 100 years later. If it isnt dirty, seal all three sides of the shower with a tile sealer or masonry sealer. That will make the grout water-resistant, if not waterproof, and help prevent the growth of mold and dirt. If it is dirty, clean thoroughly with bleach and water, rinse, and seal. Any of the clear masonry or tile sealers will work; resealing will be necessary.
As for the grout in the corner, it cracked because it was not compacted heavily enough. The corner is a bigger pain than the flat surfaces because there is often a bigger empty space behind. Dig out all the old grout with a utility knife or any sharp instrument. Buy unsanded grout and insert it in the crack with a squeegee; press it in so that it is completely compact. Then smooth off and forget about it until a day or two later when you can seal it.
I am not a big fan of using caulking with ceramic tile, but this particular corner may be just the place for it. You can try it, anyway; put a bead of adhesive caulk (Phenoseal and Polyseamseal are two good brands) in the corner, then press it in and smooth it off.
Q. The apartments in my building have very big windows, and wide sills too. The sills are covered by two rows of ceramic tiles, and they get mortal cold. How can I insulate those tiles in my apartment?
A. Those cold tiles might be pulling air right down the windows and sill, and can actually create a draft, even in a tight house. Try this: Buy several carpet tiles, the thicker the better, and cut them to fit on the sills, then glue the parts on the sill with an adhesive caulk. Tell your neighbor how to do it and you will come out a hero.
Q. I have steam heat, and my cellar is really, really hot. How can I cool it off and/or utilize that wasted heat?
A. If all the pipes leading to and from the boiler are bare, you can insulate them with a special compressed fiberglass insulation. Check the boiler as well. It may be insulated, but if the insulation is white and sort of hanging off the boiler, leave it alone; that is asbestos and it can be a serious hazard to occupants if loose and friable, but it can be encapsulated by an asbestos specialist. A well-insulated boiler and pipes will save you a lot of heat, keeping it in the pipes and radiators upstairs. If the pipes are asbestos wrapped, and the wrap looks in bad shape, it must be encapsulated or removed by a specialist, then reinsulated with the aforementioned compressed fiberglass. Also, check all valves at the top end of all radiators, to make sure they are working right.
Sometimes you can utilize the heat by installing vents in the first floor, but if there is any free asbestos in the cellar, this is not a good idea. Insulating all the pipes and the boiler is your best bet.MORE IN Central VermontBRATTLEBORO Brooke Shields gift list is sweetening a Vermont family farms sale of maple syrup.

Marion T. GuazzoniOctober 02,2012
Marion Guazzoni
Marion T. Guazzoni
SOUTH BARRE Marion Townsend Guazzoni, age 95, of South Barre, Vt., died peacefully Saturday, Sept. 29, 2012, after a brief illness. She was surrounded by loving family and friends. She had three siblings, Vena Pike, Lila Colby and Maurice Townsend, who predeceased her.
Marion graduated from Plainfield High School in 1936. She worked as a nurse at the Barre City Hospital, the Gary Home in Montpelier and at various local nursing homes.
On Sept. 23, 1939, she married Geno L. Guazzoni. They raised four children as they resided in Barre then moved to South Barre and later Plainfield. Marion and Geno enjoyed cooking together, spending time with their children and grandchildren and gardening. Marion loved singing and was a talented organ and piano player. She was also a lifetime member of the Order of the Eastern Star, Ruth Chapter in Barre, and was active in the Barre Universalist Church. Geno died in 1986.
Marion became reacquainted with her high school friend Stanley Christiansen in the 1990s. Over long lunches planning class reunions, Marion and Stanley discovered that they had much in common, such as their love and devotion to their children and enjoyment of friends. They got married on Oct. 9, 2004, and enjoyed spending winters together in Florida until he passed away in 2008.
Marion loved to cook especially for family get-togethers as well as play music, read, solve word puzzles and visit with friends and loved ones. She had fond memories of playing the piano in the annual womens club show in Lake Worth, Fla.
Marion is survived by her sisters-in-law, Eleanor Guazzoni Bailey and Mabel Christiansen Wright; her four children, Beverly and her husband, Harry Brown, of East Randolph, Alan Guazzoni and his wife, Stephanie Taylor, of Stowe, Eric Guazzoni, of South Barre, and Julie and her husband Karl Moody, of Essex Junction. She also leaves her two dear former daughters-in-law, Suzanne and Ronda; stepchildren Andrew and Jennifer Christiansen, Peter and Lilla Christiansen, Kris Christiansen; eight grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren; several generations of nieces and nephews; her loyal companions, Duncan (dog), Charlie (cat); and landlords who became family, Tom and Holly Anderson. She had many dear friends, including Margaret and Maurice Vercoe, Yvette Roy, Evelyn Webler, Phyllis Bullard, and Chris and Patricia Beltrami.
Marion is very thankful to her children and extended family for their loving care and devotion over the years.
Her life will be honored and celebrated Thursday, Oct. 4, at 11 a.m. in the Hooker and Whitcomb Funeral Home, 7 Academy St., Barre. Interment will follow in the Plainmont Cemetery in East Montpelier. There are no calling hours.

Clustering has become one of the most common and most emphasized features of J2EE application servers, because, along with load balancing, it is the fundamental element on which the scalability and reliability of an application server rely.
Nowadays, J2EE clustering is generally associated with the mechanism used to replicate the information stored in a session across different instances of an application server. Whenever a failure happens in a stateful application, a cluster allows the failover to occur in a way that is transparent to the incoming requests: application servers take care of replicating the session information to the participants in the cluster.
Each application server allows you to customize different aspects of a cluster. Two examples are the replication scope ("How many nodes do I want to share my session across?") and the replication trigger ("When do I want to replicate the information?"). However, once a cluster is up and running, it is usually difficult to analyze its behavior. The reason for this is that application servers use low-level APIs to implement their clusters and do not expose any metrics about what's going on underneath the application's code.
This lack of information becomes particularly relevant when the environment around a deployment changes. There are different alterations that can jeopardize the correct behavior of a J2EE cluster. A very common example: we may have done a great job configuring and tuning our cluster, but find out that everything stops working correctly as soon as other stateful applications are deployed on the same resources.
This article provides a tool for obtaining metrics for the most-common processes involved in an application server cluster: serialization and IP multicast. It also shows how to interpret those metrics and identify potential issues in a cluster. Finally, it briefly presents some hints for solving those problems.
Three main processes are involved in synchronizing a session among the nodes in a cluster:
The "flattening" and restoration are done the same way in all application servers through a specific standard API called Object Serialization. Object serialization is the process of saving an object's state to a sequence of bytes. Deserialization is the process of rebuilding those bytes into a live object at some future time. The Java Serialization API provides a standard mechanism for developers to handle object serialization. As required in the Servlet 2.3 specification, the "container" (the application server) must, within an application marked as distributable, be able to handle all objects placed into instances of the
HttpSession and accept all objects that implement the serializable interface. This sequence of bytes into which objects are transformed is what the application server instances send to each other.
As for the way objects travel across the network, most J2EE application servers (such as JBoss, Oracle, and Borland) use IP multicast communication. Multicast is based on the concept of a network group. An arbitrary group of receivers expresses an interest in receiving a particular data stream. Nodes that are interested in receiving data flowing to a particular group must use a common multicast address. This enables application servers to extend and diminish their clusters in a decoupled manner (without a requirement to maintain a list of nodes in their cluster): "If you want to have my state, this is my multicast address." Figure 1 shows several servers participating in such a multicasting arrangement.
Figure 1. Session replication process in application servers
After the previous explanation, you soon realize that the replication process affects your environment in two ways:
The severity of the impact on your network depends on:
HTTPSession object, the more bandwidth
that is required to synchronize the nodes).
The serialization and deserialization process is an I/O operation and, as such, involves the consumption of resources in every application server instance where it takes place. Fortunately, the application server takes care of making it as efficient as possible. However, depending on the size of the session objects, this I/O operation needs more or less RAM.
To minimize both issues, most application servers do not replicate the entire session in every request and they send only deltas (changes between each session modification). However, the first replication always involves a complete serialization-deserialization and a complete network trip for the objects in the session. Wouldn't it be nice to have a tool to analyze the possible effects of this overhead?
To monitor the overhead created by session replication, I've written a Java application, the Replication Latency Tester, that measures the latency between two multicast nodes. It can provide you with some basic information (whenever multicast is used) for verifying that things are working properly.
Here is how the application works: it sends and receives serialized objects across the network, using IP multicast, and measures the time spent in this operation (the latency between nodes plus the overhead in the serialization/deserialization). It uses two threads, one for sending information (
Node.class) and another for receiving (
Client.class). The reason why the logic isn't separated in two programs (which may have been more clear) is that by using a single JVM for both processes, we are simulating a more realistic scenario. After all, application servers have to take care of the following in a single JVM:
The server thread sends a configurable number of objects of the type
NodeInfo (
NodeInfo.class). The larger the number of objects being sent by the server, the more meaningful the obtained metrics are. This is not only because, statistically, the average values are more representative, but also because, by adding more iterations, we expand the runtime period to a larger lapse of time and analyze the state of our cluster under different conditions.
The size of each object being sent through the network is randomized by the addition of a random
StringBuffer attribute. Here is how the random-size attribute is built:
public StringBuffer createRandomSizeAttribute(){
Random rnd = new Random(System.currentTimeMillis());
int randInt = Math.abs(rnd.nextInt()) % 100;
StringBuffer dev=new StringBuffer("big");
for(int i=0;i<randInt;i++){
return dev;
Random-size objects ensure that we cover different session scenarios: from small amounts of information per session (such as in an Internet bookstore where purchases rarely exceed a couple of items) to large amounts (such as in an Internet supermarket, where a whole shopping cart is maintained in memory).
Additionally, each random-size object contains other important attributes:
The creation time stamp is the base upon which the latency metrics are built. The server marks each object with its creation time and then sends it through IP multicast. When the object is rebuilt (on the client thread), this time stamp is used to calculate the delay in the operation. The time stamp plus the delay between each send operation and the next one are subtracted from the current time. Here is the code used to read the objects and to calculate the latency (the deserialization is done in a separate method). This code is run as a separate thread, thus the
run signature.
public void run() {
// Create the multicast elements
MulticastSocket socket=new MulticastSocket(getPORT());
InetAddress address=InetAddress.getByName(getMCAST());
byte[] data = new byte[100000];
DatagramPacket packet=new DatagramPacket(data, data.length);
// Join the socket to the multicast adddress group
Vector received= new Vector();
// Loop on the socket and receive data
//Variable definitions
// Receive info
// Deserialize object, cast to NodeInfo and calculate
byte[] indata = packet.getData();
NodeInfo receivedNodeInfo=(NodeInfo)deserializer(indata);
statistics= new Statistics((double)totaldelay,ratio);
Figure 2 describes the architecture of the Replication Latency Tester.
Figure 2. Replication Latency Tester architecture
You can download the complete tester program.
To use the Replication Latency Tester, simply execute
java -jar ReplicationLatencyTester.jar in one of your nodes. The server thread and the client thread of the program will start to work with default values for the IP multicast address and IP multicast port. The server side of the program will start sending serialized objects, and the client side will start obtaining metrics based on the latency of the multicast network and the size of the object being sent.
An even more realistic scenario will be simulated if you start the tester on several nodes of your network. This will reproduce an architecture in which you have various application server instances running in different nodes and sending information to each other, using IP multicast. One Replication Latency Tester alone is not very significant; nor does it reflect a real-case scenario. (Replication shouldn't be activated when running a single instance of an application server; that would imply overhead without providing any higher availability.)
For each object received, these are the calculated values:
For each battery of tests:
You can persist these average metrics to a file simply by specifying the corresponding configuration parameter. The information will be stored in a file called lateststatistics.trc. Persisting this information will affect the average figures in a multi-node test, because this operation is done in the same thread as the serialization and deserialization and hence can introduce some time lag.
Both the server thread and the client thread can be configured with different parameters:
These files need to be placed in the directory where the tester is run. If these files are not found, the default values are used. These default values are specified in the class
These are the configurable parameters for the server thread:
|Default Values
|Multicast address to be used to send information
|Port to be used to send information
|Text message to be included in the object that will be serialized
Hi there!
Delay applied between each send operation and the next one (msecs)
|Number of operations to be performed
And these are the configurable parameters for the client thread:
|Default Values
|Multicast address to be used to send information
|Port to be used to send information
|Print on standard error the detailed information for each object received
|Write to the lateststatistics.trc file the statistics for each series of objects
Without verbose output activation, the result should look something like the display in Figure 3:
Figure 3. Non-verbose output
With verbose output active, the standard output shows more detailed information as objects are being received, as seen in Figure 4:
Figure 4. Verbose output
Several things need to be considered when you are analyzing the results obtained with the tester:
Durations are measured using
System.currentTimeMillis() and this approach may include much more in the metrics than just the code's execution time. Time taken by other processes on the system or time spent waiting for I/O can result in inaccurately high timing numbers. However, since this is only a two-thread program, this shouldn't affect our statistics much.
The measurements of the latency between the client and the server assume that the clocks are set to the same values in every node in the test.
In order to make the metrics as accurate as possible, the default behavior of the program is to show as little information as possible on the standard output (console). It is well known how
System.out.println("") can affect the performance of a Java application.
The size of the object is calculated by first serializing the object and then obtaining the size of the byte array created. Different approaches for obtaining the size of an object use the memory state by invoking
Runtime.getRuntime().freeMemory(). I am not in favor of this approach, because different threads and the behavior of the garbage collector may affect this type of measurement.
The sizes of the objects being serialized in the tester are a good approximation of real session objects (sizes between 3Kb and 5Kb). Any objects that are much larger than that will imply considerable overhead.
As a rule of thumb, any average ratios that exceed 30 to 40 msecs/kb indicate that the nodes and the multicast network might be overloaded. You can extrapolate from these metrics and apply them to your application: If your session objects are 10Kb in size, you can expect that your application server will take more than 300 msecs (30 msecs/Kb*10Kb) to make the object available in other nodes (application servers do many more things simultaneously than what my application does, such as identifying the application, servlet and session for the object, of course). This implies that whenever your servlet/JSP engine is using multicast for replicating objects across application server instances, the objects will not appear on other nodes before 300 msecs have passed. Consequently, if a failover happens and the load balancing takes place in less than 300 msecs (which you can expect from most application servers), your client request will find an older version of the object in the new node and the application will become inconsistent.
As mentioned at the beginning of the article, most application servers do not replicate the entire session in every request and they send only deltas (they replicate changes to the session instead of the entire session). That saves time and resources for the subsequent modifications to become available in other application server instances. However, you always have to consider the worst-case scenario: a crash after the first serialization.
You can do various things to solve a performance problem detected with the Replication Latency Tester tool. Each applies to a specific deployment, depending on the application involved and the resources available. Covering each one of them and when it is applicable is beyond the scope of this article. However as brief introduction to future analysis, here are the main possible solutions:
Obviously, all of these will affect your J2EE system (requiring either changes in code/configuration or additional resources) and need to be analyzed in detail before you decide which one applies to your case.
There are many reasons why the environment of a cluster may change through the lifecycle of an application. Thus, it is necessary to regularly monitor the cluster's proper functioning and prevent performance and stability issues. This article showed how to use a simple Java tool to obtain various metrics related to correct cluster behavior. It also discussed why it is important that serialization and IP multicast take place rapidly and covered how to monitor both. The next step: apply the necessary corrections once the problem is detected. But that's a subject that's sufficiently complex to merit its own article.

Sometimes you need to perform certain tasks that are only doable on a specific operating system, like running a particular program for example. One of the ways to do it is through Dual Boot, which basically installs two (or possibly more) operating systems on your computer. You then get to choose which operating system to run when the computer starts.
When Dual Boot is installed, you will be prompted to select the operating system you wish to use every time you turn on your machine. So switching from an operating system to the other will require you to restart your machine.
Your hard drive is divided into partitions, typically one for every operating system installed on it (if you happen to have more than one). How does the computer know where the operating system is? In fact, you could have multiple hard drives or other storage media. Your computer needs to know where exactly to find the operating system kernel in order to run it.
Let us see how booting works, so that we can understand what Dual Boot does.
The booting process starts when you turn on your machine. The first thing that happens is that there is a small program built onto your motherboard called a BIOS (Basic Input/Output System). The BIOS can be configured to launch the next step from a particular storage media, typically the hard drive (this is how you install/format your operating system - you tell the BIOS to launch from a CD (or some other device) and this CD will install the operating system on some storage device such as your hard drive).
Once the BIOS decides which storage device to launch from, it will go to a section called the MBR (Master Boot Record). The MBR is located at the first portion of a partition of a storage device. The MBR is specific to one (or more) operating system(s), so it knows where the operating systems' kernels are located on the storage device and can thus jump to them and run them. The kernels are essentially the cores of operating systems, so once control has been passed to a kernel, the operating system takes control from that point on.
As mentioned earlier, an MBR is specific to an operating system. MBRs contain information about the data in the partition, and most importantly, some code that knows how to launch the kernel of that particular operating system (e.g. Windows). This piece of code is called a bootloader or a bootstrap. Since the code is specific to a particular operating system, it cannot possibly run, or point to more than one.
However, we don't have to be bounded by the default bootloader that is given when we install Windows or Linux. In fact, there is a very popular bootloader called GRUB (which we will show how to install). This bootloader can be configured to prompt the user and launch an operating system from a list of pre-defined operating systems available on the machine. The idea is that this initial bootloader will give execution to the actual, default bootloader of an installed operating system as a second stage so that we can pick an operating system instead of running the only installed one.
Some people prefer certain operating systems more than others, so they tend to use one primary operating system for daily work. However, some functionalities may only be available on one operating system, different than one might use in his daily life. For that reason, Dual Boot is helpful to allow users to have the best of both worlds, or both operating systems.
For example, some people highly prefer Linux over Windows. But there are not many games available for Linux users. So Dual Booting Windows with Linux is a good option in that case since one can do all his work on Linux, and switch to Windows when he decides he wants to play games.
There are many cases in which Dual Boot may be useful. Sometimes it is just done to experiment and try new operating systems. Other times it is necessary to perform daily tasks.
The instructions below are mainly aimed at Linux Ubuntu installation from an existing Windows operating system installed. However, the differences between Ubuntu and other Linux distributions are subtle and we will provide brief information about how to install other distributions.
To install dual boot, you will need the following:
Linux has many distributions. Each one has pros and cons. You may want to check out their websites, or see some videos to see which one you may need.
We will mainly show how Ubuntu is installed, which can be obtained from their website here. You can get either the 64 or the 32 bit version.
To install a different distribution, go to their main website and you should find a download link (depending on the distribution).
This step requires shutting down your computer. Make sure you have access to this page from another device, or print the document.
Installation steps depend on the Linux distribution you chose. The following instructions assume Ubuntu. If you chose a different distribution, go here.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Dual Boot!
Every time your computer starts, you will be prompted (by GRUB) to select an operating system. You should see Windows and Ubuntu (or whichever distribution you selected). You can select either and your computer will launch the selected operating system.
You don't need to repair anything, avoid repairing and try to run Windows again. Windows is basically complaining that you installed GRUB overriding its' default bootloader.
You need to have a Windows CD or ISO image. You should install Windows first and then go here. Installing Windows on top of Linux is much more difficult than installing Linux on top of Windows. So it is easiest if you install Windows first.

As a follow up to my blog post last month regarding the new pit road regulations (see it here), I wanted to post a quick update. Lee Spencer from Motorsport.com posted a story yesterday that includes a complete rundown of the system, including specifics on how it will work and photos of the system in use. Click here to see her full piece.
A Quick Update on New Pit Road Technology
Lugnuts Only Part of New Pit Road Regulation
There was a meeting this week between NASCAR and the sport's various pit crew coaches regarding the new pit road rules for 2015. The main story line we've seen emphasized this week is the fact that NASCAR is no longer going to enforce a lug nut rule. But that isn't the only thing to come out of that meeting. There are other new rules and ways of enforcement that could have much more drastic impacts on races.
Before I jump into those other areas, let me first talk briefly about the lugnut situation. In the past, the NASCAR rule said lugnuts had to be "installed" to be legal. What exactly the interpretation of "installed" is, was up to the officials. As long as a lugnut was on the stud, most officials would usually let that ride. Only lugnuts that were on the ground were called. So this notion that every tire changer is only going to try and get three or four nuts tight now is a little over-exaggerated. This was happening before, and while you might see more chances taken with the new enforcement, it won't be that drastic. You will see more loose wheels, but that is self-policing. Drivers will be forced back to pit road during these situations, and often under green.
Now, as for the rest of what was discussed. The big move for next season is the removal of more officials from pit road. Starting at Daytona, a new video system will monitor pit road, and penalties will be called from a central video-review location. That means far fewer "judgement" calls by officials. Cut and dry video evidence will rule. And the one area that nobody in the media has mentioned that will be affected the most is crews jumping from the wall early.
The rule for when crews can leave the wall goes like this: teams are allowed to be on the ground in their pit stall as soon as their car crosses the back line of the stall directly behind their own. You didn't see this rule enforced all that often, because it had to be fairly blatant for an official to even notice it. Now, if a crew member is down even a split second early, the penalty will be called. Supposedly once NASCAR started testing this video system late in 2014, they were hundreds of "jumping early" penalties flagged by the system.
What this means, is that you could potentially see a lot of these penalties called early in the season until pit crews figure out what they can and can't get away with. All coaches are emphasizing this point to their teams this offseason, but it will be an issue in 2015.
Another rule that will be more actively enforced with this video system is the drivers rolling through too many pit boxes before their own on entry. Drivers are only allowed to drive through three (I think) pit boxes before they enter their own. This was also a judgement call in the past, but this new video system will catch more of these in the future.
Other smaller points of emphasis for NASCAR included the elimination of helping your neighbor on pit road gather up his tires by being over the wall (i.e. the 27 &24 pit crews at Kansas). You would often see a member of another pit crew over the wall helping a team corral it's tires. Now, if a crewman wants to help, they have to stay behind the wall. NASCAR is also going to pay closer attention to tire control by the pit crews. If tires aren't in control of a crewman at least half way back to the wall, NASCAR will call a penalty. This rule isn't new, but will be more actively enforced.
A lot of changes are coming to NASCAR for 2015, but these new pit road rules could be sneaky important to the outcomes next season. And even though the lugnut situation will be important, these other areas will be big as well.
NASCAR Closes Fueling Loophole
NASCAR issued a technical bulletin to teams this week with some new language regarding where fuel filler cans could be filled at the track. The new rule basically states that fuel cans can only be filled at the designated Sunoco fueling stations in the infield. This move by NASCAR closes a loophole that some teams were exploiting on pit road to get an advantage with fueling during pit stops.
These days, when discussing fueling during pit stops, teams talk about things like head pressure and flow rates. It's all fancy terminology used to describe how teams can get the fuel out of the cans and into the cars faster. What teams discovered, is that filling cans as full as possible allows the fuel to flow faster from them. But when cans get filled at the Sunoco stations at the track, they aren't filled to capacity. The Sunoco workers put approximately the same amount of fuel in each can, which leaves a little extra space. Crew members were then taking these cans to pit road, and adding extra fuel to them from storage cans.
In doing so, and getting better flow rates from the cans, teams can have faster pit stops and get cars fuller, which creates a competitive advantage. Especially at tracks where tires aren't an important factor, like Daytona and Talladega. Having cans that dump faster allows fuel only stops to be quicker, the now popular two tire/two can stops to be quicker, and for cars to be completely full on standard four tire stops.
Some teams have been getting away with this all season, but in recent weeks NASCAR has become vigilant in their efforts to stop the practice. Officials have been walking pit road during the race and forcing teams to remove extra storage cans from pit stalls. There was not a rule in the rule book prohibiting it per se, but NASCAR has been letting teams know all season they didn't want it to happen. Now this bulletin makes it official.

The Future For Edwards & Biffle
As has been reported nearly everywhere, both Carl Edwards and Greg Biffle are in play on the free agent market. Nobody on either side is saying much, and that silence is deafening. What Biffle does will likely be dictated by the move Edwards makes, but make no mistake, Roush Fenway Racing could be about to lose their top two drivers.
During the last free agent year for Edwards, it took a monster deal put together by RFR and Ford to keep Edwards in the 99. After nearly winning the championship in 2011, Edwards missed the Chase in 2012, and was a non-factor in the 2013 Chase. This combined with a shortage of wins is why Edwards is again looking for a new ride. He wants to compete for wins and championships, and he wants to do it now.
The focus and speculation by many seems to be that Edwards is on his way to a potential fourth Gibbs car, but don't bet on that just yet. Edwards is rumored to have been spotted in the Team Penske shop in recent weeks, and he would make a potent addition to the Penske lineup. Ford doesn't want to lose Edwards, and a move to Penske would at least keep him in the family.
For Biffle, any move he makes will most likely be made after a resolution comes for Edwards. Edwards is ten years younger than Biffle, and clearly the more sought after free agent. An Edwards departure from RFR would leave Biffle in a very strong position to negotiate a nice extension with his current employer but we've also heard that Biffle could be in the mix for that potential fourth car at JGR, or in a third car for Michael Waltrip Racing.
With a lot of the season still to play out, my gut right now says Edwards is gone and Biffle stays. The promotion of Trevor Bayne feels like RFR expects to lose at least one of them, and I think that is Edwards. Biffle would be the top dog at RFR if he stays, which isn't true if he moves to JGR or MWR.
Pit Gun Technology Speeding Up Pit Stops
It's been a common thread this year; a driver has a shot to win, but a bad pit stop or two derails the whole day and somebody ends up getting called out on the radio or national television. Yes, the pressure is as high as it's ever been on the pit crews with track position being at a premium, but some teams are at a disadvantage before they even step off the wall.
One area many teams have spent time and a great deal of money improving recently is the equipment used by the pit crews. The impacts (pit gun, gun, whatever you want to call it) specifically have seen a big jump forward in the last few seasons. If tire changers can get the lugnuts off and on faster, the entire stop can be sped up dramatically.
For a basic description of how an impact works, click here. One of the main innovations has been the removal of the traditional hammer system in the impacts. The hammers have been replaced with a clutch mechanism that improves the gun performance in a few ways. First, the removal of the hammers has reduced the rotating mass inside the gun which makes it smoother to operate and allows it to spin at higher RPMs than ever before. Also, the clutch keeps the lugnuts from being over-tightened in the event the tire changer stays on one nut too long. The guns effectively shut themselves off once the lugnuts reach a certain torque setting. These changes have resulted in some pit crews being able to do pit stops in the low 11 second range, or under.
Most of the top level organizations have the new style guns in some form or another. Some, like Joe Gibbs Racing and Hendrick Motorsports, seem to have a little better handle on them than the others. And in the hands of the right tire changers, the results can be pretty amazing.
The problem with these changes, and one of the reasons we've seen mistakes, is not everyone has these new style guns. And even among the teams that do, not all are equal. The pit crews that are at a disadvantage know they must push the envelope to keep up with the haves, and that can easily result in mistakes.
After what we saw at Charlotte, don't be surprised if you hear this week about some changes to a few teams. Drivers that are trying to contend for wins and the championship will not stay quiet for long about slow pit stops.
These. Kids. Are. Good.
I really, really, really hope you've been paying attention this season to what is happening in the lower series and with a few upcoming young drivers. Kyle Larson, Chase Elliott, and Ryan Blaney may be three of the best young drivers we've had come up in a long time. There are a few others who will make their marks before the year is over, but these three in particular are the future of the sport.
The influx of "funded" drivers into the sport is something we've discussed on this site ad nauseam in the past (some of you might say ancient past). It's easier for team owners to bring in a kid with his own money, than it is to take a chance on a young driver with no big time backer behind him. Because of this, some really good drivers never got legitimate shots to prosper. These three are an exception.
Blaney and Elliott definitely had a leg up because of their name recognition, but both are in the seats they're in because they are very talented. Race wins in the Nationwide Series and Truck Series for both prove that.
Larson is a different story. He came up how guys used to come up, and how we wish they would all come up. No famous family members, and no rich benefactor writing checks to get him in seats. He earned every ride by winning, and winning a lot. Larson is a throwback to a different time, when all drivers wanted to do was drive. If Chip Ganassi would let him, Larson would still be running mid-week sprint car shows all over the country.
Blaney is running a limited Nationwide and Cup schedule this season, but don't expect him to be without a full time ride in an upper series for long. If Penske can't hang on to him, somebody else will give him that chance in the next year or two.
At this point, the future for Elliott would seem to be behind the wheel of a Hendrick Motorsports Cup car. It might be a few years away, and will probably depend on how much longer Jeff Gordon wants to drive, but make no mistake, Mr. H. won't let young Chase get away.
As for Larson, he's obviously found a home in the Cup Series with Chip Ganassi and the Target ride. Going forward, Ganassi will have his work cut out to keep Larson in the fold. There have already been rumors of other teams making offers to Ganassi for "Young Money," and his growing popularity and early success will make him a target for bigger teams (no pun intended).
Keep an eye out as the season progresses, because there are probably two or three other drivers in the Nationwide and Truck Series who could become household names very quickly. They have the talent and the backing to succeed, they just need that one break through performance.
Iowa Rain Out Causes Pit Crew Problems
On a normal NASCAR weekend when the Truck Series and/or Nationwide Series run companion to the Cup cars, there are a lot of pit crew members who double or triple dip. Crew members make some extra cash and get more reps, and the teams get top talent pitting their cars. But this last weekend presented a unique challenge for teams with the trucks in Texas, NNS cars in Iowa, and Cup cars in Pocono. With good weather, there were many guys who could have pitted two, or all three races. A rainout in Iowa threw a wrench into those plans.
Once it became official that Saturday night's NNS race was postponed, the race was on for teams to get essential people from Iowa to Pocono, and for those teams with holes to fill in Iowa to find replacements. Most crew members are committed to their Cup teams first, so none of the big Cup teams were affected. But there were also some smaller Cup teams like BK Racing and Front Row Motorsports that had to scramble for fill-ins.
Because so many Nationwide teams rely on Cup crew members, there were holes to fill up and down Iowa's pit road. Teams used backups, crew members from teams in other series, and some retired over-the-wall veterans made comebacks.
If you watched the race, it was probably pretty evident who was using replacements. The race was dominated by Austin Dillon, and that was helped in part by the fact that his team was fully intact. The same was true for teammate Brian Scott. Sam Hornish got most of the #22 crew, because his team is made up of a lot of Cup guys, and the #22 was pitted by replacements. All three Gibbs cars are usually pitted by Cup guys, so all three had mostly new teams. Even race winner Trevor Bayne didn't have his full usual crew.
Two drivers who were victims of bad stops by fill-in crews were Ryan Blaney and Brian Vickers. After starting in the back, Blaney had to come from the rear of the field a second time in the race after there was confusion on an early pit stop. And later, confusion during a two tire stop for Vickers put him deep in the field, and ultimately led to him being involved in a wreck with Alex Bowman and Travis Pastrana.
When crews are thrown together at the last minute, it can be difficult to get everyone on the same page. Different teams use different methods, and any breakdown in communication can lead to disastrous stops. It's vital for crew members who are thrown into these situations to back the pace down, make sure they know the calls, and just do the job right.
It will be back to business as usual this weekend with both the Nationwide and Cup cars at Michigan. But teams will again be looking for replacements the following weekend, with the NNS teams tackling Road America in Wisconsin, and the Cup Series heading out west to Sonoma.
There's Nothing Wrong With Restarts
I've got to be honest, I don't understand why there has been so much discussion this week about restarts. The rules are really pretty clear. The green flag waves, the leader can go between the two lines, you can't beat the leader to the line, and don't change lanes before the start/finish line. Seems pretty simple to me. And regardless of whether you think Montoya had a bad restart or not, Jimmie Johnson broke the rule and was penalized in accordance. It was an open and shut case.
But today at Pocono, the discussion continued as both drivers involved made comments regarding the situation. In a nutshell, Montoya says he did what he was supposed to do, and Johnson called Montoya out for "flopping." Johnson also called NASCAR out for not doing anything about Montoya's flopping, and wants NASCAR to make it clear what is and isn't allowed.
I don't know about you, but JJ's comments sound like sour grapes to me. He broke the rules, got busted, and just doesn't want to admit fault. It's difficult to feel sorry for him.
Going forward, I don't expect NASCAR to make any changes to the restart policy. The rules are not difficult to understand, and we have plenty of restarts every week that are executed without incident.
As a side note, this whole situation was evidence that NASCAR does not indeed favor and want the #48 to win.

Please fire Mike D'Antoni. That is all.
Good thread, Sly. Did I mention I want D'Antoni to get fired?
Hell yea!!!
**** no!!!
They should get Chris Bosh instead
Who cares! just fire D'antoni!!!
The N.Y. Knicks
The Phoenix Suns
Knicks-Suns Preview by ESPN.com:
Amar'e Stoudemire is a big reason why the Phoenix Suns are in position to match their longest winning streak in just over a year while getting closer to returning to the playoffs.
A visit from the New York Knicks should keep Stoudemire and the Suns rolling.
Phoenix looks to win its sixth straight game while continuing home dominance over the Knicks on Friday night.
Stoudemire is connecting on 58.7 percent of his shots to average 30.8 points while adding 10.0 rebounds over the last 11 games, helping the Suns (45-26) to eight victories.
"He's been great," coach Alvin Gentry said of the forward, who leads the team with 22.9 points and 8.8 boards per game. "We try to take advantage of situations where they try to put undersized guys on him.
"He's come through for us big time. He's played great.The last month and a half, I think he's been the best player in the NBA."
Stoudemire backed up that praise Monday, hitting 12 of 15 shots from the field for 37 points while pulling down eight rebounds in a 133-131 win at Golden State that extended the Suns' winning streak to five.
Phoenix, the league leader in scoring with 110.1 points per game, hasn't won six straight since March 14-25, 2009.
The Suns, also winners of 10 of 12 at home, appear to be on their way to returning to the playoffs after a one-year absence. They're fifth in the Western Conference, 7 1/2 games ahead of ninth-place Memphis with 11 to play.
Phoenix trails fourth-place Utah by 1 1/2 games for home-court advantage in the opening round of the playoffs.
The Suns could gain ground with a seventh consecutive home win over New York (26-45). They've won 15 of the last 19 home meetings with the Knicks, including a 111-103 victory on Dec. 15, 2008 when Stoudemire had 21 points and 14 rebounds.
However, he was held to 14 points and five boards in a 126-99 loss at New York on Dec. 1.
The Knicks need to complete their first season sweep of the Suns since 2002-03 and get plenty of help the rest of the way to avoid being eliminated from postseason contention.
They're 9 1/2 games behind eighth-place Toronto with 11 games left. A loss to Phoenix combined with a Raptors' win against Denver will keep New York from reaching the playoffs for a sixth consecutive season.
The Knicks have won four of six after beating Denver 109-104 on Tuesday. However, they've dropped 11 of 14 on the road and are opening a five-game trip.
Danilo Gallinari will try to continue his strong stretch. The forward is averaging 26.3 points over the last three games after getting 28 against the Nuggets.
Coach Mike D'Antoni is also impressed with Gallinari's strong defensive game.
"He's a good perimeter defender and he takes pressure or whatever," D'Antoni told the team's official Web site. "He's 6-foot-10, he keeps his feet in front of guys and he does a good job on point guards, guards and (small forwards). He works at it."
Gallinari had 27 points and 10 rebounds against Phoenix in December.

Jeremon Linbury
This should be ether an Awesome game or a blow out. D'Assholio will probley be to distracted and will be sitting on the bench starring at Steve Nash.
Game in a couple minutes....
Toney Douglas and NUEVA YORK are in the mutha****in house!!!!!!!!!!!
Once again the Knicks demonstrate to us the problem of having no defense in the paint, as Robin Lopez comes and burns us...
How come every team has a center that could rebound and block shots except for the Knicks?
Voted F no, althought I would like Bosh so I agree with that vote, I am adament on not wanting Amare. I realize he's played well but think he's the most overrated FA possibility out there and think he shouldn't pass on 17 mill guarunteed or whatever he's got on option. I think Nash helped greatly to make him, he's a high fly guy with sick dunks, average jumper and equally pisspoor defense as Lee for a guy with better athletic ability. If he'd take a 7 mill paycut I'd take him otherwise no thanks lol. He's good but not close to max guy IMO, and would kill our hopes at 15 mill +. Anyhow thoughts on game, halftime down quite a bit but feel we're not playing well, could come back but most defend well because all we normally need is shot making, but against Suns getting hot won't cut it down as we are, will need a decent string of stops too cuz even if we light it up they still score. I killed Gallinari a few weeks back but I say now he needs to be featured more and I think McGrady as well but we'll see. Chuckington... I share a love as I think he truly has heart and wants to be here which I respect, but everytime he gets ball I get nervous as I expect a bad shot... idk maybe just me. We're going nowhere but if we could stay semi hot and hit 34-35 wins I'd be able to temporarily flex like I was Metro
"Tough times don't last forever, tough people do"
Gallo defending Nash is why this Knick team has become a JOKE (20 point lead all game).
6.10 Gallo suppose to be defending 6.10 Amare, or 6.11 Lopez, or 6.11 Frye.
Damntoni & Gallo has made this Knick Team a JOKE of the NBA
One minute left in the 3rd qtr.
Knicks 64
Suns 94
So NOW D'Antoni decides to play McGrady in the fourth quarter, in a blowout?
Ladies and gentleman, these are the bi-polar Knicks.They blow out the Mavericks, nearly beat the Rockets, beat the Denver Nuggets but get blown out by a team that plays slightly better defense than the Phoenix Mercury.

Team India Worried Despite Motera Win?
Despite a convincing win at the Motera Test, Team India is worried. Here is why...
1. Pressure Stacking Up
With talks of revenge against England growing louder, pressure is mounting on Team India to win the series nothing less than 4-0. Though no one in the team is openly saying about it, the body language and statements made by Dhoni during the post-match press conference made it amply clear. Talking to the media, he strongly advocated rank turners.
2. Biggies Slump
Team India boasts of an enviable batting line-up. However, the big stars have failed again in Ahmedabad. Sachin Tendulkar was out for 13 (18 balls), Virat Kohli for 19 (67 balls) and skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni scored just 5 (37 balls) in India's mammoth total of 521. The worrying part is that Tendulkar has failed to score even a half century (apart from the 137 for Mumbai versus Railways in the Ranji Trophy match early this month) in the last 10 innings he played. The same is with Dhoni.
3. Bowling Imbalance
India's bowling was a combination of 2 pacers and 2 spinners. However, the two spinners were left with much bigger role to play, as the pacers were mostly ineffective, apart from Umesh Yadav's fine show in the England second innings. Out of the 228.5 overs bowled by India in the match, pacers bowled just 72.3 overs, while the two frontline spinners bowled 147.2 overs, which is more than double in overs. In taking wickets, the pacers took just 7 wickets together, while the spinners took 13 wickets. Now the biggest question is should India go with a three-pronged spin attack, by including Harbhajan Singh in the second Test at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
4. No 5th bowler?
India went into the match with four frontline bowlers - Zaheer Khan, Umesh Yadav, Ravichandran Ashwin and Pragyan Ojha - and relying heavily on the part-timers to filling the slot for the fifth bowler. However, in the total 228.5 overs bowled by India in the match, only 9 overs were bowled by the part-timers- Yuvraj Singh, Virender Sehwag and Sachin Tendulkar.
5. Unfriendly wickets?
When India tours abroad, it get wickets that suit only the home team. However, in India, despite repeated requests, Team India doesn't get a pitch suiting its strength. The flat pitch at Ahmedabad has left Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni fuming and he has called for rank turners.

I just started back to work this past Thursday and after reading a bit in WAoB, Kellymom.com and Work & Pump....I am totally confused as to how much to put in each bottle for a feeding? My son is 3 1/2 months, about 15lbs, and eats around 7 times a day. I pumped at work each day 15 oz at 9:00 and 12:30ish. I have read so many different amounts to give that I am so confused. Right now I leave him with 3 bottles filled about 4 1/2 oz each and also leave some frozen just in case. I feed him right before he is dropped off at 7:15 and I pick him up at 4:30. I told her that if he is hungry around the time (or before) I pick him up to give him less because I want to feed him when we get home.
Can anyone help me out with an amount? She said that he finishes the bottles easily. Am I giving him too much? I know that BF babies don't increase much more in amount.
Thanks in advance.

The School District of La Crosse received more than 80 submissions from the public who shared their ideas of what to name of the city's new elementary school.
Two of the more popular were Northside Elementary and Logan Elementary, but Superintendent Randy Nelson said there were many others.
"Rustic River Elementary; Margaret Miller Elementary was another one. Also, Ray Bice Elementary came through pretty popular, as well as George Poge Elementary. So those are some of the more popular ones that came through," Nelson said.
A list of names will be given to a group of Northside parents and residents to get their input. The list will then be narrowed down to three names and pass that along to the La Crosse School Board. The School Board could decide on a name by mid-November.

A sneeze sent a garbage truck barreling into a home in New Jersey on Tuesday.
According to police, the truck driver lost control of the vehicle and crossed several lawns before crashing into a home in East Hanover and bursting into flames, New York TV station WCBS reported.
The family inside the house made it out safely.
The truck driver was taken to an area hospital with non-life threatening injuries, police said.
According to WCBS, the crash caused so much damage that the home had to be demolished.
The driver told police he sneezed before the accident, causing a water bottle to roll under the brake.

Solid Baseball
Today's game was sooo good! It was just what we needed: a win!
I can't say enough about Mat Latos. This kid is a stud. He's doing amazing things for this organization right now, and I know he's only going to get better. I can't wait to see him pitch in the upcoming years. I can honestly say that he is becoming our next Jake Peavy.
Today he threw seven innings of shutout ball. He only allowed five hits while striking out eight. Plus, he went 2-for-3 with his first major league homer. We needed a solid outing, and you can't ask for much more than that. Amazing outing by Matty.
We had some great offense today. We hit four home runs: Mat, Chris Denorfia, Chase Headley, and Jerry Hairston. Yorvit Torrealba also drove in a run.
Luke Gregerson has been struggling his last few outings, so I'm really glad that he's going to get a break next week. Today he gave up the only run the Nationals got, but it was okay since we were up by a lot. Still, I'm a little worried about him right now. Hopefully he'll be able to have a nice relaxing break and will be ready to get back into things after the break.
It was a really great game. I was so happy that we were able to get the third game of the series at least. We're okay. Still have a substantial lead in the NL West, one more series till the break, we're good.
So, how are we doing going into the All-Star break? I'd say we're doing excellent. I know that we're a ton better than a lot of people thought we would be by now. I didn't know where we were going to be by the second half of the season. I honestly had no idea. I was content to take it one game at a time and see where we went. And here we are, top of the NL West.
The big question is, are we going to be able to continue this through a whole second half? Is our pitching strong enough? Will our bats stay hot? We've been relatively injury-free so far. Will that continue? Will we been as good as we are now?
In my mind, I have no doubt that we will sustain our first-place lead. I don't see any reason at all for us to suddenly go bad in the second half. We can do this. I think this team is going to do great things. There's been an atmosphere around this team that I have never felt before. It's exciting, not knowing what this team is going to do. They've played well above expectations this year, and I think it will continue.
Rockies and Jorge De La Rosa tomorrow. But we've got Kevin Correia going for us. No sweat.

Your First Place Pads are something to talk about! I swear you all need more attention! Media NEVER gives love to the west coast! It's so annoying😦 And you all got snubbed big time in the all star game. Such a disgrace😦
best of luck!
I would agree with you that your NL West lead is very sustainable. You have a tough division, but you guys are tough as well. It is funny how everybody talks about Mat Latos. Every time I visit this blog or another Padres blog it seems he is always mentioned. Then he shows up on every sports show…wow. The guy is great. You are lucky to have him!
Kaybee: I think the All-Star break game at a good time for the Padres. Their young-gun pitchers needed this break. I don't see any reason why they can't keep up the good baseball. It must be so exciting for you!

I wonder if Ray got a grammy for this song. I've never heard him sing it but I'll bet it's 100% Ray Stevens.

Thanks HH for the link. If I had had known what kind of song it was I wouldn't have made the grammy slight. The song was depressing and sad and I'm not used to Ray Stevens singing anything but his take off music.

Hello! I stopped bfing at 2 months (ds did fine for the first month, but per dr's orders needed supplementing and by the end of the second would just scream at me when I tried to nurse). I pumped for another 3 months but my supply just got lower and lower until it wasn't worth it anymore (only 2-3 ounces a day).
I haven't pumped since December 5th and now out of the blue I'm producing a little milk! I'm not leaking in general, but I notice in the shower when I clean my nipples, a little milk comes out. I don't know what to make of it!! I first noticed it when ds and I went on a trip and I thought it was because we were sleeping in the same bed again - the closeness was making my hormones surge? But it hasn't stopped.
I wonder if this is something to be worried about (time to call the doctor?) or should I get the pump out of the closet?? I think I'd be willing to try pumping again... any thoughts or experience with this?

Congrats! You have a valentine this year, so instead of just enjoying candy from your mom, now you're stressing about what to get him. Here's a list of awesome Valentine's Day gifts for your guy depending on how long you've been together. When in doubt, just remember: sports, gadgets, food, repeat.
Less Than 3 Months:
If you've only been seeing the guy for a few months, you can probably get away with not giving a gift, but you risk an awkward moment if he showers you with rose petals and teddy bears and you give him nothing. So if you want to keep something on hand, go with a classic, cool gift that says,"Thanks for giving me something to do this Valentine's Day so I didn't have to sit at home by myself." Trendy shirts, ties, or socks are always a win, and seasons of his favorite TV show or books you think he might like are harmless yet amazing gifts for a guy. And of course, it wouldn't be Valentine's Day without candy, and chocolate cigars are definitely dude-friendly.
Six Months:
All right, after 6 months, you can kind of loosen up a bit. You know for sure his middle name now, you can make jokes about his weird big toe, and you've got a good grasp on what his interests are. This is the perfect time to get him a quirky gift, such as vouchers for lovers, or write little inside jokes inside a funny card you got him. If he has any hobbies like poker or drinking beer (what guy doesn't?), get him a poker set or a beer making kit. A nice leather wallet or a shaving kit are also nice touches.
Love Vouchers, KNOCK KNOCK, $7; "I'm Glad We're A Thing" Card, EMILY MCDOWELL DRAWS, $5; Valentine's Shaving Kit, HARRY'S, $40; Beer Making Kit, BROOKLYN BREW SHOP, $35; Brown Leather Wallet, JACK SPADE, $88; Poker Set, MARSHALLS, $99
Nine Months:
Nine months in is probably a good time to spend a little more money on gifts than you have before. Guys who love sports love authentic jerseys, and if you get him tickets to a game too, even better. Or wrap up a set of personalized golf balls and offer to buy him a round of golf at a nearby course. Usually guys like to take their girlfriends out to dinner for Valentine's Day, but this year, offer to take him to dinner, or if you like to cook, make him his favorite meal and watch a movie on the new Apple TV you got him. Cologne is another good, classic idea.
One Year:
Honestly, a guy would probably love at any point of the relationship if you pulled out some lingerie and massage oil. Or instead of the oil, book a couples' massage for the both of you during a weekend trip inspired by a travel book you got him. Accessories like headphones or a timeless watch are also a great choice for any type of guy.
Massage Oil, COWSHED, $31; Headphones, BEATS BY DRE, $150; Black Lace Bra, VICTORIA'S SECRET, $65; Lace Thong, VICTORIA'S SECRET, $19; Garter Belt, VICTORIA'S SECRET, $36; Leather Band Watch, TIMEX, $70; USA's Best Trips: 99 Themed Itineraries Across America, LONELY PLANET PUBLICATIONS, $25; The New York Times 36 Hours: 150 Weekends in the USA & Canada, TASCHEN, $32
Two Years or Longer:
By this point, you've done the whole Valentine's Day hoopla before, so you've really got to get creative. Sentimental gifts, such as a handmade card, a journal of little love notes, or a picture of you two in a rustic, manly frame show you care without having to spend too much money. Or if you feel like spoiling him, splurge on gadget he's been eyeing or passes to a music or movie festival that you both can enjoy.

A close associate of Gov. Scott Walker is due to be sentenced after he was convicted of felony theft.
Timothy D. Russell pleaded guilty in November to stealing more than $20,000 from a nonprofit group. The 49-year-old is scheduled to be sentenced Tuesday morning.
The charge carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison. But as part of a plea agreement, prosecutors have agreed to recommend a sentence of two years. Defense attorney Parker Mathers has said he'll request a sentence of probation only.
Russell was one of six people charged in a secret investigation of Milwaukee County executive's office back when Walker held that office. Russell and four others have been convicted. The trial for the sixth begins later this month.
MILWAUKEEWalker has not been charged with wrongdoing.

The cat population at SCRAPS has exploded in the last two weeks. Since June 1, 108 cats have been brought to the shelter, an average of eight a day, which prompted SCRAPS to hold a two-day adoption event.
No cat wants to spend time in a cage so now it's up to you to find these fur balls a loving home.
"Short hair, long hair, young, older, black striped, anything you want we probably have today," SCRAPS director Nancy Hill said.
This time of year is busy cat season but something about June this year is different.
"We've had an explosion of cats," Hill said. "May was kind of calm and then all of a sudden June came and we are full."
To get these cats moving SCRAPS is holding a cat adoption event Friday and Saturday. Cats will only cost you the licensing fee of $15. Each one will come spayed or neutered, microchipped and vaccinated.
"It's a very good deal and we're hoping that we'll place a lot of cats this weekend because we are overflowing and we want to make sure they all get loving homes," Hill said.
SCRAPS is located at 2521 N. Flora Rd. and is open from noon to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

Tony Stewart vs Goodyear Director of Racing Greg Stucker
By Todd Jacobs (Featured Columnist) on March 30, 2011 561
Tony was #9
. Tony Stewart vs Goodyear Director of Racing Greg Stucker
Rusty Jarrett/Getty Images Greg Stucker is the man that has to listen to Tony Stewart's comments when he shows his displeasure of the latest Goodyear tire.
Stewart has calmed down since assuming ownership of Stewart Haas Racing, but he does let out an occasional grumbled comment regarding the Goodyear tire program when it comes to NASCAR.
If these two entered the cage it may be a toss up. Greg Stucker could take out years of frustration directed at Tony Stewart and his derogatory comments about Goodyear and Stewart could pound Stucker for all of the times he felt compromised by a blown Goodyear tire. I would make Stewart a -120 favorite in this match.

Hi! My name is Lisa, I'm 28, married and live in Illinois. I lost my first baby, a boy, in September 2003 due to severe preeclampsia. I was at 22 wks and I was approaching seizures and possibly a stroke. I was told I had to make a choice.[V] I will carry guilt for that the rest of my life. The doctors told me the baby was already showing signs of trauma at that point. I don't really understand why this happened to me. Hubby and I would like to try again but I'm so so scared. I've been told I have a 60-65% chance of developing it again. I don't know if I'm doing the right thing by trying again but I feel I should atleast give it one more chance. I've read a little on here about what my chances are. I'd love to hear some success stories if anyone has any...It would sure bring my hopes up a little.

I have an 8-month old baby boy, doing fine with weight & nursing, and I work full time. I've been pumping at work 2x/day, and nursing when I'm with baby. Recently, two weeks ago he had his first cold & ear infection, nursed ok maybe not as much. Up until then I was pumping pretty well, with at least 6-8 oz. per session.I also have started my period about 2 months ago too. Last week, my pumping output has significantly decreased to 3 oz. total. Is this due to his cold? I know from reading and info from LC or local LLL that babies are far better than pumps with removing milk, but this makes me nervous and I'm feeling stressed about it.
My husband is home taking care of babe for these two months (before we start daycare) and we are using my freezer stash (I know I need to add to my stash when we use it, but haven't done so thus far due to a variety of factors *sigh*). Either way I'm feeling nervous. I want to nurse as long as possible, have been doing very well, and babe appears to be ok when we're nursing.
What have others done to increase milk amounts from pump sessions? I plan to add a third pumping session, I'm feeding baby before leaving for work, I'm considering herbal supplements- but should I talk with my local LC first? for me? I'm trying to eat more foods that support lactation, I'm working on my hydration--that is what I thought it was that affected me due to a heat wave here--..Any words of wisdom?
