The 2002 ladies event is one of those which will be debated endlessly forever (with the only things most seem to agree on is Hughes winning the LP and that Slutskaya probably should have won the SP, but even those have a minority who dispute). Personally I think Cohen and Suguri were both underscored compared to both Kwan and Slutskaya in the LP that night, but that is just me. I do know Cohen had some issues in her skating at the time, but her fall was on the end of a very good attempt of one of the hardest triple-triples in skating. Her spins were also so much better than Kwans or that particular night Slutskayas. Kwan by contrast two footed the simplest triple-double, then fell on a triple flip, and it was one of her worst choreographed programs ever, even though she skated it well overall. Slutskaya was weak in so many ways that night I felt, as I already broke down. Suguri was wonderful except for a doubled triple loop, and it was by far her best program ever. I could honestly see the LP standings having gone:
2. Cohen
3. Kwan or Suguri
5. Slutskaya
Although realistically given the rep value of these skaters the judges were never going to score it that way. Then again I would have had Hughes no higher than 6th in the short program.
My last post on this topic:
No, the rules under 6.0 were quite clear that underrotation is a mistake. In the SP, it was a deduction smilar to a step out. The fact that the judges often didn't notice, chose not to notice or simly didn't care about underrotation is a different thing of course.
At the time, many people raved about Irina's "big" jumps. There was spring to her jumping, and her jumps covered more ice than, say, Michelle or others.
Many people argued that Irina should have won the OGM in 2002, not because of her LP which was precariously performed but still technically clean. People argued that either Irina and/or Sasha should have been 1-2 in the SP, and Michelle should only have been 2nd or 3rd. Irina had a one-foot footwork sequence with huge jumps, and a 3lutz-2loop. Michelle under-rotated a jump. If Irina and/or Sasha were above Michelle, Hughes wouldn't have been able to come up from 4th after the SP to 1st under the old system. Irina would still have won the gold even if she was 2nd in the LP. Back then, Sasha was a 17 year-old newcomer, and not having paid her dues, she didn't have the cachet yet. But the judges loved her. She had best layback, overall spins, spirals, etc. out of the bunch, and her only weakness was flutzing which wasn't that big of a deal since many of her rivals had the same problem as well. I actually thought Schubert was Irina's best program, possibly ever. It was actually very polished and disguised her supposed lack of artistry.
Till this day, nobody knows why Michelle left Frank. It was heartbreaking for him. They still love each other very much. It is obvious she was his favorite pupil.
Sasha's scores could have been higher considering the lesser performances of her rivals. There could have been a deduction somewhere, but you wouldn't know it in the 6.0 system. Her only actual flaws would be the shallower footwork sequence and the flutzing. Even the finest skaters at that time flutzed frequently or at best took off from a flat blade.
In 2002 Olympics, Irina should have been 1st after the SP based on her superior technical execution of the elements.

Stock Futures Mixed as Cisco, Tesla Jump
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Stock futures were mostly pointing down Thursday as disappointing housing and jobs numbers were offset by the support of global stimulus measures. Nasdaq futures were gaining as Tesla Motors
"As long as central banks are money printing, the market will continue higher through May and the summer months," said Drew Nordlicht, managing partner and director of HighTower San Diego. "This is dependent on muted economic growth and inflation expectations. Should the economy reach escape velocity and the Fed pulls back on its asset purchases, we think that will precipitate the correction some have been suggesting is on the horizon."
Futures for the S&P 500 were down 2.75 points, or 4.68 points below fair value, to 1,651.5. The benchmark indices pushed to fresh highs Wednesday amid mixed economic data as Google
Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average were down 13 points, or 25.69 points below fair value, to 15,222.
Futures for the Nasdaq were up 3.75 points, or 3.78 points above fair value, to 3,004.75 as Tesla Motors and Cisco jumped.
Tesla Motors was popping 11.68% to $94.75. The electric car maker said that cofounder Elon Musk is investing $100 million in the company's stock as the electric car maker uses a sharp rise in its shares to issue stock and repay government loans. In total, Tesla expects to raise about $830 million through the stock issuance.
Cisco was surging 10.61% to $23.44 in premarket trading after the biggest maker of computer-networking equipment beat on both top and bottom lines for its fiscal third quarter.
The Labor Department reported that initial jobless claims rose 32,000 to a higher-than-expected 360,000 in the week ended May 11, while the four-week moving average increased 1,250. Economists, on average, were expecting initial jobless claims of 330,000, according to Thomson Reuters . Continuing claims in the week ended May 4 fell 4,000 to 3.009 million, which was still a higher-than-expected level. Economists were expecting a dip to 3 million.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics said that the consumer price index fell a bigger-than-expected 0.4% in April and that the core CPI, which excludes food and energy prices, edged up by a less than expected 0.1%. The consensus estimate was for a 0.2% fall in the CPI and 0.2% rise in the core CPI.

text: Nibiru = Nemesis? 0x6a656666 posted:3/13/2010 12:56:24 PM Read more: www.telegraph.co.uk/science/space/7429335/Search-on-for-Death-Star-that-throws-out-deadly-comets.htmlFrom the article:The star, also known as Nemesis, is five times the size of Jupiter and could be to blame for the impact that wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.The bombardment of icy missiles is being blamed by some scientists for mass extinctions of life that they say happen every 26 million years.Nemesis is predicted to lie at a distance equal to 25,000 times that of the Earth from the Sun, or a third of a light-year.Astronomers believe it is of a type called a red or brown dwarf – a "failed star" that has not managed to generate enough energy to burn like the Sun.But it should be detectable by a heat-sensitive space telescope called WISE, the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer.Launched last year, WISE began surveying the skies in January. It is expected to discover a 1000 brown dwarfs within 25 light-years of the Sun – right on our cosmic doorstep – before its coolant runs out in October.The nearest normal star to us is around 4.5 light-year away.Our solar system is thought to be surrounded by a vast sphere of icy bodies, twice as far away as Nemesis, called the Oort Cloud.Some get kicked in towards the planets as comets – giant snowballs of ice, dust and rock – and the suggestion is that the Death Star's gravitational influence is to blame.The paleontologists David Raup and Jack Sepkoski discovered that, over the last 250 million years, life on Earth has been devastated on a 26-million-year cycle. Comet impacts are suggested as a likely cause for these catastrophes.A similar impact by an asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, a major inquest by scientists concluded last week, though that is not being blamed on Nemesis.Most stars have one or more companion stars orbiting around each other, which would make the sun's single status unusual.A major clue to Nemesis's existence is a mysterious dwarf planet called Sedna that was spotted on an elongated 12,000-year-long orbit around the sun.Mike Brown, who discovered Sedna in 2003, said: "Sedna is a very odd object – it shouldn't be there! It never comes anywhere close to any of the giant planets or the sun. It's way, way out there on this incredibly eccentric orbit.The only way to get on an eccentric orbit is to have some giant body kick you – so what is out there?"Professor John Matese, of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, says most comets in the inner solar system seem to come from the same region of the Oort Cloud – launched by the pull of a companion star to the sun that scatters comets in its wake.He suggests it is up to five times the size of Jupiter or 7,000 times the size of Earth.He said: "There is statistically significant evidence that this concentration of comets could be caused by a companion to the Sun."0x6a656666 posted:3/13/2010 1:02:39 PM And here comes a couple comets on March 10...rare, event, I guess, for more than one to hit the sun on the same day.tapuout4985 posted:3/14/2010 12:38:40 AM Well, that's disconcerting.

text: I have a 8 week old son at home that I am bf'ing. For the last few weeks he has been really fussy half way through a feeding by arching his back, kicking his legs and pulling away from me with the nipple still in his month. Also I feed him 2-3x at night and each time we are done it takes him 10-15 mins to settle back down and fall asleep. During this time he thrashes around and straigthens his legs until he passes gas. I do burp him after each feeding and generally get a burp from him. Could he be allergic to my milk or could something else be wrong? I did talk to a LLL leader and she told me that I have over active letdown. when this happens he generlly pulls off but than relatches with no problems. So what else could be happening? He is gaining weight fast.:confused:

Saturday, Dec 31, 2016 4:00 PM - Sunday, Jan 1, 2017 11:00 PM
Tuesday, Feb 14, 2017 at 12:00 AM
I first met Fred when I was on my way home from a night out. He was friends with my brother for a while, and when I came home, the guys were having poker night. I was briefly introduced to him and the next day my brother told me that Fred was very interested in spending time with me. My first thought was that he was too short for me, being that I only saw him sitting down. Little did I know he was 6'5"! So, my brother set us up and we went on our first date.Fred was endearingly shy and nervous when we first started dating. After a short while, I started to fall in love with his good heart and caring nature. He was the last of a dying breed of chivalrous gentleman. I would come out of work or school at the time to find roses left on the windshield of my car, or a love note left for me. He sure knew how to woo a lady, and little by little, I could see our future unfolding before us. We started dating officially in December of 2004.We vacationed a lot, tried new restaurants, went new places, and built up a strong network of friends together. We spent our first of many Valentine's days at Stroudsmoor Country Inn. I used to vacation at Stroudsmoor every summer when I was a growing up, so it was always a very special place for me. We quickly became each other's best friends, and most importantly, we became a family. We moved in together a couple of years later, and there was nothing more satisfying to us than being the only people left when our day was done. We had a nice flow to our lives, and I made a home for him the best way I knew how. He taught me about stability and made me feel safe, and I brought him out of his shell and introduced him to new things. We knew this was something we both wanted to hold on to, because we made perfect sense. And absolutely nothing was going to stand in our way!We were dating for 7 years, when on Valentine's Day 2011, Fred took me to Stroudsmoor overnight. I remember at dinner, how distracted he had seemed. I had no idea at the time that he was planning a surprise for me! When we got back to our cottage, there were roses everywhere and music playing softly. And it was then that he asked me to be his wife. I said yes, of course, because I couldn't imagine ever loving anyone else.Our family and friends could not have been happier for us! Being together for 7 years, our respective families loved us together, and everyone was so excited to celebrate. We decided, of course, to get married at Stroudsmoor. I wouldn't have had it any other way. The place means so much to us, and we have celebrated so many other milestones there. It was a perfect fit.We were married on September 14, 2012 in front of all the people we love. To be able to stand up in front of everyone and proclaim our love and promise to each other was magical. The grounds, the staff, the food, the decorations…everything Stroudsmoor touches is charming and elegant.As for Fred and I, we are as excited about our future today as we were 8 years ago. He is still the shy, thoughtful boy I met all those years ago, and I am still the only girl he ever notices. And when it rains, he takes out his umbrella big enough for two, and keeps me safe and warm.

Players and coaches from Sullivan County Community College, Sullivan West, Tri-Valley, Monticello and Liberty presented a check for $3,480.33 to the Catskill Regional Oncology Department as the proceeds from this year's Coaches Vs. Cancer Classic, staged at Sullivan County Community College on February 11. Monticello's boys and Tri-Valley's girls prevailed in the high school segment of the tournament as did Sullivan County Community College's men's and women's teams.
In opening week baseball action this week, Fallsburg swept Eldred 3-0 in a Division V league series, while Tri-Valley held sway two games to one in its opening-league encounter with Tuxedo. Monticello fell to Burke 8-6 on a late-inning comeback rally by the Eagles in a non-league opener. In softball, Liberty lost its two opening games as it fell to Livingston Manor 7-4 and then to Port Jervis 15-0. Sullivan West also began its season at 0-2 with a 5-0 loss to Port Jervis and 15-0 defeat to Goshen. Fallsburg was the victim of a perfect game hurled by Tuxedo's Kelly Ross as the Lady Tornadoes beat the Lady Comets 17-0. Schools are on spring break, but action will resume on April 14 with the Benny Chesnick Softball tournament staged in Tri-Valley and Liberty. Monticello baseball will host Saugerties as well.

Sony recently started offering pre-orders for the NWZ-A820 in Europe. This player is now confirmed to hit the US in March along with two new models, the S710 and A720 Walkman players.
The NWZ-A720 is essentially the same player as the NWZ-A820, but lacks bluetooth support. It's also available in 4GB, 8GB and 16GB, while the A820 only comes in 8Gb and 16GB. The A720 is priced at $150 (4GB), $200 (8GB) and $300 (16GB) and comes in black or pink, while the A820 will cost you $270 (8GB) and $320 (16GB) and only comes in black.
The NWZ-S710 is good news for those who commented on the lack of noise cancelling in the NWZ-A820. While this feature was removed from the US and European versions of the A820, it is in place in the smaller S710 series, and Sony claims it will help reduce outside noise by up to 75%. It will however not have the same design as the A720 and A820, and will only have a 1.8″ screen compared to the 2.4″ screen on the A720 and A820. It will be available in a $150 4GB version with 3 different colors, and a $200 8GB version which comes only in black. No 16GB version is announced.

I prefer to say I'm a non-sleeper. had it for years, developed a sleeping pill addiction, went to a psycho-hypnotherapist in Berkeley (not effective), eventually took myself off the sleeping pills (took a year)and settled into sleeping a full night maybe twice a week, max.
Oddly, the single thing that stuck with me was an Elizabeth Taylor quote about being in Betty Ford. The phrase I hung onto was "No one dies from being awake all night". Meaningless, but everyone has different chords to be struck.
I will live through this sleepless night – and not only that…all the sleeping people don't give a rat's ass if I'm awake. Bastards.
Just for that, I'll ruin Beethovens Ode to Joy. The words to Clementine fit PERFECTLY to the tune. "In a canyon in a cavern excavating FOR a mine…"ReplyCancel
It HAS!!! Been lurking, tho 😉ReplyCancel
Insomnia. Sigh…I want to sleep but I've been worrying and fretting over my Lil Puddin' (my roomie's cat but I steal kitties, so they're mine now). She's a feisty old girlie, though…just have been staying up holding her and cooing at her.ReplyCancel
I like my beauty sleep. hmmm mhhh honey.ReplyCancel
Reddit under the influence is never a good idea, those dudes on LBGW are always checking their commentsReplyCancel
Apparently the cumulative effect of insomnia is detrimental to your health for various reasons. As someone who suffers from it, I was pretty shocked to find this out a few years ago. For example, I just read that studies show that the brain produces a chemical that repairs your brain cells whilst sleeping, and only when you in REM sleep – so then your brain cells are ready to blast on full cylinders the next day. These scientists said that they think this chemical helps to keep the plaque from forming in your brain that is a factor in Alzheimer disease. Another article I read said you can never catch up for your lost sleep, it is all cumulative in terms of damage to your overall health and sleeping in too long to make up for the lost sleep doesn't help either. I imagine not everyone needs 7 – 8 hours sleep if the sleep you have is deep sleep.ReplyCancel
Indeed it is, Enty.
I've had insomnia every night of my life, including as an infant. I'm told that I never even napped. When I was in my 30's the struggle to function with nearly no sleep finally became too great. I had tried all kinds of things but nothing helped, ie melatonin, valerian root, soothing teas. I resorted to medication and I thank God every day that it's out there to help people. Ambien is the only med that's been able to drowsy me. But it only keeps me asleep for about 4 hrs, so I was prescribed Trazadone to help sustain sleep. The 2 meds combined has made me stop fearing the act of trying to fall asleep. I'm sure I would have wound up jumping off a bridge had I not been able to find something to help my whacko nervous system.
Forget Milli Vanilli, now all i hear is
Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy
Diggy, said the boogy, said, up jump the boogy
I'm a long time insomniac myself. I've had a sleep study done, which showed I don't enter REM sleep. I'm notorious for going 2-3 days without sleep, then I will eventually crash for maybe 8 blissful hrs.
When it comes to meds I've tried them all, some work for a month or so then it doesn't work. I've woken up with bruises from walking into walls, I've turned on faucets and left them running, left the fridge open, all because of insomnia or the meds.
Trazodone. Safe, effective and non-habit-forming.ReplyCancel
I go through periods where I can't stay asleep. I'll fall asleep but wake up 3 hours later and can't get back to sleep at all. Ambien CR has worked out well for me but I only take it after I've had a couple of days with no sleep, And I *know* it's not safe, but I wash it down with one 12oz lone star. Works every time. I do that for a couple of days and usually get right back on track. A 30 pill script can last me a year.ReplyCancel
My family suffers from a genetic circadian rhythm dysfunction called Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome/Disorder (we don't sleep at night). My mother and those of us related to her have it (the step-siblings do not). I have pretty much heard every vampire joke possible, but eventually I just gave up and started working third shift.
It's not technically "insomnia", it's just a different sleep cycle, and I suspect that many people who struggle with insomnia actually have it.
So sorry to hear this. What a terrible struggle! Don't given up hope; they're inventing new meds every day!! There WILL be relief in your future. 🙂ReplyCancel
I used to sleep great.
Then Enty started talking about Adderall all the time and now I'm up 'round the clock.
Skinny and black circles under my eyes.
Love the look!
You are welcome!
Are you sure you only look like an addict when picking up your medication?
Might want to check in to that.
Allis, I'm also on adderall and for those of us that neeeedddd it to function, we know that it doesn't make us lose the weight and also can sleep after taking it. That is, if taking it properly.
I'm actually a borderline narcoleptic I think. I sleep too much once I'm asleep and there are many days that I cannot wake up, like in a coma. I need to see a doc bc it's just developed within the past few years. Two weeks ago, I fell asleep at 6pm and despite my hubs efforts I couldn't wake up until the next afternoon.ReplyCancel
I've been having all kinds of trouble sleeping lately, between stress over being out of work, my sister coming to visit for the 1st time in years, and oh, yeah, probably menopause smacking me upside the head, too. 🙁 I'm feeling way too hot all the time, and couldn't sleep last night because of it; this waking up all soggy needs to stop, and soon, because I'm really fed up with it. *sigh*ReplyCancel
Reddit is a black hole! I have been caught at work, huddled over my laptop, crying from laughing so hard. But the gross-outs over there would haunt my dreams if I could sleep long enough to have them. Today's lovely was a photo of a woman who had injected heroin into an infected arm for so long that the arm just sort of rotted, with visible bone. Actually, it was a appetite suppressant for me today-no lunch after that!ReplyCancel
I go through bouts of insomnia, especially when I'm stressed or have a ton on my mind. I was up all night last night. My parents sold their house and are moving to Florida. I'm a roller-coaster of emotions. Plus, my husband was away for work in Chicago for five days so I had no one to share my grief with besides one lonely text to him. So sad to see them go. On a side note I watched Ladies of London, which rocked. Then I cried in bed until a bleary 2 or 2:30 a.m. Awesome. And my sleep was like really awful bad airplane sleep. Gah. Honestly, I don't know how I'm not asleep right now.
I had mad crazy insomnia when I was pregnant. Like really bad.
I've worked weird hours my whole life, too, and I definitely think I'm just made to do that. I am not programmed to wake at 6 and work 9 to 5.
I've never taken prescription meds but I did have a love affair with Tylenol PM during my college girl party years.
I have totally functioned on days straight of like 4 hours of sleep when working retail and my newspaper gig. But then I crashed and burned and couldn't deal anymore. I also weighed like 10 pounds.
My advice about sleeping well in case it helps any of you: Eat a late-night snacky poof (especially if you have the pregnancy insomnia), exercise if you can during the day or take a late-night walk, make your sleeping space sacred: no tv or internets in your bed. I also need to have the fan on with the proper ratio of blankets and pillows, completely dark, door slightly ajar to hear my toddler just in case, and all closets and drawers must be closed to prevent monsters from getting me (not really, but I've done this since childhood, so.) Also, if you can't wind down and just feel really overwhelmed by thoughts read a bit of a book or magazine. I also find a good bout of sex helps me sleep, except for when I was obsessing about becoming pregnant in which case I was up all night being a spaz and worrying about not being pregnant.
I also stopped drinking caffeine after noon.
I don't know. I just suggest trying to make lifestyle changes if you can before resorting to drugs. That's all I got.ReplyCancel
Awwww, you guuuuys!!! Feels good to be back 🙂ReplyCancel
Insomnia, yep. I gotta start smoking weed regularly again.ReplyCancel

"This is perfect!! I can't wait to get started on my own cute little kitchen herb garden...when I get my own place, that is"
"Very intresting of what projects can be done with tp. We use them a lot for projects with children and this one will be this week project. Though, i think the colors can be more traditional with green and red or maybe golden colors with the green tree. I am sure the children will chose the traditional, but personally i like this one. Can be placed in any wall and every season."
"How cute are these fun and colorful little birds! I really like how easy they are to make. Can you really make a flamingo like mulberrygalprinces s says you can? That would be so cute to make. I love the idea of making several kinds of birds. My stepdad loves birds, so I can see making all kinds of these for him to add to the christmas tree or just to decorate the house."
"What a fun and festive way to use up a pile of paper clips that you never use! I love that you made them in various colors. I think it is so neat to use magnets on them too. You could use them to hang pictures from on a refrigerator or file cabinet."

Freedom Newspapers
ALBUQUERQUE — For the second consecutive year, the Portales Rams made it to the final four of New Mexico Class 3A baseball — and once again, they're coming home one game shy of the finals.
The top-seeded Cobre Indians jumped on top early and never lost their lead in a 10-7 win against Portales Friday morning in the 3A semifinals at the University of New Mexico's Lobo Field.
"Our kids deserve a shot and it would have been nice for us to come out on top," Portales coach Arturo Ontiveros said. "Baseball's funny that way sometimes."
The Rams committed three errors, but each one came with runners in scoring position and accounted for the majority of Cobre's runs.
"We gave up too many unearned runs," Ontiveros said. "Our errors came at costly times with runners in scoring position."
Portales senior pitcher Phillip Danbom allowed eight runs on three hits in four-plus innings of work.
"I was confident, but I just didn't have my best stuff today," Danbom said. "I didn't locate like I normally do. My curveball was all right, but I couldn't throw for strikes every time when I needed to."
While Danbom wasn't happy with his work from the mound, he did well at the plate, going 2-for-3 with a triple and a single and bringing home two runs.
Fellow senior Mario Salazar went 2-for-4 with two singles and an RBI.
"Our kids swung the bat pretty well," Ontiveros said. "We hit the ball hard right at people. Even the outs that we made were hit pretty well. It was a pretty good day at the plate; we just didn't get too many breaks today.
"We had a chance to come back, and the attitude in the dugout was great. We never got down."
Cobre took advantage of two Portales errors in the first to take a 5-2 lead. The Indians made it 6-2 with another run in the third.
The Rams outhit the Indians 10-5, but couldn't overcome the early deficit.
"We've got pretty confident kids," Ontiveros said. "Even though they're young and we have a lot of inexperienced kids, they still battle. I don't think they know any better than just to play hard and try and fight until the game is over."
The Rams have several key contributors returning next year, including junior catcher Ricky Lovato and sophomores Brandon Adkins and Joe Sandoval, but they'll need to start from scratch on their pitching staff with the loss to graduation of Danbom and Salazar.
"We only have four seniors," Ontiveros said. "We're very young in a lot of respects, but we're losing our two pitchers.
"We're looking for some great things from those younger kids but we're just going to have to develop some arms and some pitching to help us get through the next few years."

I think of all the babies that were weaned before they were ready and I can't for the life of me understand why my DD is weaning. I mean seriously, it isn't fair! For two days now, she has hardly nursed at all. I offer so many times during the day that it's almost humorous. She'll laugh and run over, suck once or twice, and be gone. She doesn't come back to nurse no matter how long I keep my breasts available. I have tried nursing when she is tired, nursing while she's playing, nursing when she's frustrated... She has stopped nursing before naps all together and tonight as I was getting her pajamas out of her drawer, she walked over to her crib, grabbed her blankie and curled up on the floor. Like she didn't even need me. It really broke my heart. I know you ladies have recommended not forcing her to nurse so instead of offering I cuddled her in the rocking chair before bed ... kissing her head over and over and shaking my head in disbelief.
It's just not fair. I'm not ready for her to be done. I'm not ready to be finished.

Severe Flooding Delays Nikon D800 Reveal
Massive floods in Thailand have submerged many industrial sites, including the Bangkadi Industrial Estate, which is home to Sony and Toshiba. Thailand produces 40 percent of global hard drive supplies, second only to China, and digital camera manufacturers are also looking at production bottlenecks until the factories can be rehabilitated over at least the next three months.
The Sony plant is of special concern to those waiting for a replacement for the Nikon D700 digital SLR. The D800 announcement was expected on October 26 according to Nikon Rumors but it looks as if production is delayed due to the disaster. It's not entirely clear if the 36 megapixel image sensor for the D800 is manufactured by Sony, but Nikon probably needs other components produced in Thailand for assembly of the camera in Japan.
Apple and Canon are among the tech companies besides Sony, Nikon, Toshiba and others facing supply shortages due to the flooding and damage in Thailand. Over 1,000 factories are said to be damaged by the incoming water, and 400 people have lost their lives. Floods pushing over 10 feet have reached levels not seen in 50 years.
When it comes to the Nikon D800, the camera is expected to sport a 36MP full frame FX image sensor, 51-point auto-focus, dual memory card slots, and a display larger than three inches. Standard ISO sensitivity will range from 100-6400 and the EXPEED 3 processor will be on board. Two different models are expected, one with an antialiasing filter and one without. The Nikon D800 is rumored to retail at launch for around $4,000 US. Nikon fans will have to wait for more news.Tag: News, Nikon D700, Nikon D800

"They just stole this project from us. It's called fraud," said attorney Michael Green, who is representing developer Ed Bushor who still holds a 20-percent stake in Aloha Tower Marketplace.
That claim threw a big wrench into hopes the state's Aloha Tower Redevelopment Corporation would finally give its consent on Thursday, allowing Hawaii Pacific University to begin redeveloping the marketplace.
Green said his client never wanted to be bought out by HPU, or bumped out as the marketplace's manager.
It is a claim HPU denies, saying Bushor knew, or at least should have known, that was their intention all along.
"My only comment is Mr Green is, as usual, highly entertaining. He's presented allegations, none of which he's bothered to substantiate," said attorney Alan Goda, who's representing HPU.
"The frustration is really the frustration of not being able to provide the tenants and the community and the potential tenants with the ability to move forward," said Janet Kloenhamer, who is the vice president of legal counsel for HPU.
"I have a lot riding on it as are a lot of people that have a lot riding on it," testified one businessman named Carl, who told the board on Thursday he was working with Bushor to start a sports bar at the marketplace as part of redevelopment plans.
HPU has already hired new management to handle the marketplace. His first day on the job was Thursday.
It is yet another move that has current and potential businesses at Aloha Tower nervous.
"I only have 4 months lease left," said Youfeun Lieu who owns Mag-neat-O.
"We are month to month," said Agatha Kim next door at Daniella.
"It's been a holding pattern," said Alfred Hawley, who's owned and operated a candy store at the marketplace for more than a decade.
"I think these people are out! What HPU plan is, is to make that a second campus," said Green at his Bishop Street office overlooking Aloha Tower.
Green said Bushor planned to include theaters, a recreational center, hotels, and even a place for the New Hope Church to gather.
HPU plans to add 200 student lofts, but maintains the rest will be a mix of retail and restaurants.
Whatever happens, businesses still at the marketplace are hoping they've held on for good reason.
"I know they can do a better job than what's been going on here in the past few years. It can't get any worse," said Hawley.
It gets even messier.
Green said HPU locked Bushor out of his office a few weeks ago on purpose.
HPU said it simply changed the locks when it took over management.
Green also claimed HPU engaged in "side agreements" meant to close the deal.
After a closed-door session on Thursday, ATDC general counsel Greg Kinkley announced the state would delay its decision on whether to allow HPU to move ahead with buying out Bushor and replacing him as marketplace manager until the week of Jan. 14th.
The state agreed to allow Green more time to produce evidence of any questionable "side agreements" by HPU.

Hello all!
i'll start with a little background on where we are:
My LO is 6 mos this week and has been showing signs of interest in solids for almost 2 mos. he can sit up now and has been able to hold his head steady practically from birth! he watches me eat and grabs at my utensils and plate and even opens and closes his mouth as he watches me eat. i started sharing applesauce with him about a month ago, mostly offering him a few bites and finishing it off and how daddy feeds him a couple of ounces of fruit puree mid morning each day (which is great, because daddy has been waiting for the opportunity to be more involved with feedings).
So the questions I have as we begin this journey are:
how often should he be eating solids? and how much? as he was young to begin, i just offered them once per day (and not even daily in the begining). now i feel bad eating in front of him and daddy wants to offer him solids with all of our meals. is this ok? I am wary because i dont want to offer too many new things and bog down his system, but i dont want to deny him if he is ready, able and hungry for more!
also, should i be consistent? ie. once i offer solids throughout the day, should i offer them every day and at the same times?
and finally; i personally feel best when my diet is partially raw (which for me, means lots of raw fruit and veggies and separating food groups as much as possible so that for most meals, i am not mixing starches with proteins, etc, etc.). I also eat very little meat (pretty much only when someone else in the household wants and prepares it). I am not particularly morally attached to these food principles and i dont want to raise my son vegetarian or 'raw' by definition however i definitely feel better (more energized, regular, etc) when i eat this way and would like to feed my son in a way that makes him feel his best as well. do you recommend mixing fruits or proteins with grains for nutritional purposes or is it done just to fill him for longer? should i even be considering meats yet?!
sorry for all of the info and questions but i didnt realize how naiive i am on the topic! i guess i thought it was just so far away...

Stocks Climb Higher on Facebook's Wall of Good Feeling
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- U.S. stocks accelerated gains late on Thursday as Facebook
The S&P 500 added 0.3% to 1,690.25 while the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.1 to 15,555.61. The Nasdaq zipped past the other indices on a 0.7% rise to 3,605.19 as Facebook soared 30% to $34.36 after beating second-quarter earnings estimates on Wednesday, led by strength in mobile revenue.
Facebook posted its highest price since May 21, 2012, its second day of trading, as the Menlo Park, Calif.-based social network earned 19 cents a share on $1.813 billion in revenue for the quarter. Analysts were looking for 14 cents a share on $1.62 billion in revenue for the quarter. Facebook's mobile advertising revenue accounted for 41% of advertising revenue during the quarter ended June 30. Total advertising revenue was $1.6 billion, 88% of total revenue, and up 61% year-over-year.

Signs of a strengthening U.S. economy could be found in a report that showed durable goods orders rose by a greater-than-expected 4.2% in June, after increasing by an upwardly revised 5.2% in May, according to the Census Bureau. Economists were forecasting a 1.3% rise.
Meanwhile initial jobless claims increased by 7,000 to a higher than expected 343,000 in the week ended July 20, the Labor Department reported Thursday. Economists on average were expected a gain to 340,000. However, the four-week moving average, which irons out week-to-week volatility, decreased 1,250 to 345,250.
The benchmark 10-year Treasury was rising 4/32, diluting the yield to 2.577%.

Subject: Before Disaster Strikes: Rate and Raise Public Preparedness Now
Summary: The American public is not prepared for major disasters. That will prove costly, including to the federal government, as more and new types of disasters are expected to occur. The new Security Council Resilience Directorate - Preparedness, as one of its first initiatives, should task the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to work with federal and non-federal stakeholders and independent experts to:
- Develop agreed measures of public preparedness, and
- Develop and execute cost-effective, innovative approaches for ensuring timely progress in preparedness.
In the revamped federal agency performance measurement system, public preparedness should be deemed a high priority measure for DHS, as well as for selected other departments who need to be made federal partners in this effort. The new Directorate should monitor the establishment of and progress in these measures.
Background: More, more severe, and new types of disasters can be expected to occur as a result of new types of threats (e.g., biological, cyber, nuclear/radiological) and more as well as more severe threats due to increased global interconnectedness and climate change. Yet, most Americans are not adequately prepared to respond to or recover from a catastrophic disaster, and many expect the government to take care of them. Even those who have experienced many common disasters such as earthquakes and hurricanes may not make appropriate preparations or exercise proper judgment in responding to new disasters that may require different responses. Although community disaster preparation is considered the purview of state and local governments, when a disaster strikes, the federal government is often called in to respond or to help with recovery. For example, New Orleans estimates that the federal government role in rebuilding that city will be $15 billion. Although all rebuilding costs cannot be averted, better citizen preparation and community standards have been shown to reduce the costs of catastrophes.
Preparedness not only reduces response and recovery requirements but also increases American resilience, which could help deter intentional attacks. Indeed, many commissions and studies have noted the importance of effectively engaging the public in prevention and preparedness, for members of the public are the first responders.
Nonetheless, American preparedness is neither formally measured nor officially monitored and is believed to lag behind that of other countries. One reason for this is confusion over responsibilities. Although the federal government has an important role to play in ensuring preparedness, it has generally pursued this role through state and local governments rather than directly, as the federal government has no constitutional authority to regulate public health and safety. The federal government does provide grants to encourage states and communities to achieve broad emergency management goals; however, outcome measures related to the public's preparedness are missing. The federal National Preparedness Guidelines do include "Community Preparedness and Preparation" as a target capability, but the National Response Framework does not focus to any significant degree on the general public. And state and local governments in turn often consider themselves service providers rather than aggressive public enablers.
The attempts of the federal government itself to increase public preparedness have been generally limited to its ready.gov campaign and its support for efforts such as the Community Emergency Response Teams (CERTs). Most recently, however, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has committed to a new attitude toward public engagement that includes an enhanced online approach.
These efforts may be necessary but not sufficient. Thus far, these have been relatively passive efforts to engage the public, and their effectiveness is unknown as no measures of public resilience have been agreed and utilized. In 2005, the American Red Cross and the Council for Excellence in Government, working with others, did devise some agreed but straightforward measures of what people need to know and to have done to be prepared; on the most recent "Readiness Quotient" (RQ) survey, the country still did not score well. The Emergency Preparedness Institute, a private corporation primarily of media and insurers, using RQ and other indicators developed a "preparedness clock," noted the problems with the lack of consistent surveys but also noted time was running out to prepare for the next catastrophe. Government, private sector, and public agreement needs to be forged on what constitutes proper public preparedness for multiple threat scenarios based on specific geographic and population vulnerabilities.
The DHS Strategic Plan rightly states the importance of public readiness to ensuring homeland security but omits any survey measures to report on this goal or major programs to achieve it. Having goals without measures is like sending your child to school and not getting a report card: you hope progress is being made, but you can never be sure. Past DHS leaders have bemoaned the public's unwillingness to prepare despite its efforts. However, more than cajoling is needed: better public preparedness may be accomplished if new innovative techniques are used to attract and engage the public and if specific goals with clear accountability measures are established.
- Task DHS to work with stakeholders to develop well-considered measures of public preparedness and then to be responsible with those stakeholders for establishing and achieving target levels of preparedness, with regular reporting to the public and to the new Security Council Resilience Directorate (Preparedness), which should monitor outcomes.
- Make public preparedness a high-priority measure for selected agencies in the new federal performance system.
Next Steps: The new White House Preparedness Directorate should direct DHS to lead this effort and other federal stakeholders to participate and should monitor progress, including by ensuring that public preparedness is part of target agencies' and departments' performance evaluation. DHS should designate an individual/office responsible for the public preparedness effort and its outcomes. The office would:
- Establish an initial process plan to effect the effort
- Identify the key stakeholders that need to participate at different points and how
- Determine some initial broad preparedness baselines with available measures and establish interim goals for process implementation and for desired outcomes
- Ensure qualified public affairs and emergency preparedness staff lead the efforts
- Consider establishing a Program Management Office (PMO) to work across departments, levels of government and projects, including related projects such as the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System
- Coordinate the development of agreed measures of levels of public preparedness, with attention given to the different needs of populations and of regions at different times, and to the desirability of the approaches
- Review past and current efforts to establish measures
- Consider lessons learned from other countries' and U.S. historic and regional efforts at public preparedness, including performance and costs
- Involve emergency preparedness specialists in and out of government in developing a range of target capabilities that individuals and families should have (building off of the approaches of the Target Capabilities List for communities and the Cost-to-Capability initiative)
- Involve communities and the private sector in the discussions at different levels of government, including with elected officials, to gain insight into current baseline capabilities and potential desirable levels
- Develop, evaluate, and execute agreed approaches for ensuring timely progress in these measures, with agreed milestones for different stakeholders' contributions and for public preparedness target outcomes based on community requirements
- Brainstorm innovative approaches for achieving ranges of target capabilities. Can the private sector be leveraged, e.g., through the sale of pre-packaged disaster supplies and instruction manuals? Should DHS underwrite disaster preparedness programming on cable television with private industry producers who could make it into a compelling view and/or support the development of educational video games? What roles should schools and workplaces have in the plan? How can Web 2.0 and community organizers best be utilized?
- Evaluate the alternative approaches for potential costs, benefits, and risks
- Gain agreement on stakeholder roles and timetables for program execution
- Monitor progress, review program needs, and report back to the Security Council and the public.
This need not be an overly complex effort. Establishing initial basic measures and targeting some simple gains may greatly reduce risks.

In 1992, Congress passed the Clean Vessel Act to help reduce pollution from vessel sewage discharges into U.S. waters. The grant program established by the Act funds the construction, renovation, operation and maintenance of pumpout and dump stations for use by recreational boaters. As part of its commitment to provide clean, safe and enjoyable recreational boating in California, the Division of Boating and Waterways (DBW) serves as the grant coordinator for the state. The Clean Vessel Program also provides boater education programs to promote public awareness about boat sewage and its proper disposal.
Recreational boaters can look for the following universal symbol, which directs boaters to public pumpout stations:
Always use pumpout stations; inform other boaters of the need to use them.

I'm writing this letter to say I'm really furious at the situation that occurred with Stanley Tuttle and Elaine Henning.
I feel their freedom of speech and freedom of the right to vote has been violated and discriminated upon.
The election code section 162.015 is a violation itself and a discrimination act toward elected official.
How can the people vote on any ballot, be it Democrat, Republican, Conservative, Liberal, etc. and an elected official cannot do the same.
That is as dumb as dumb can get.
This should be taken to the Supreme Court and investigated under an act of discrimination.
Because as far as I see it is discrimination, and I hope something can and will be done about it.

We love the way this monochromatic felt & yarn wreath gets so much of its visual interest from the different shapes and textures at play. Christine says you can expect to spend about 10 to 12 hours from start to finish, and it's a perfect project to work on by the fire or in front of the TV. To cover a 16-inch wreath, you'll need approximately 60 pompoms and 20 flowers. For a 12-inch wreath, you'll need about 45 pompoms and 15 flowers.
Materials to Make a Felt & Yarn Wreath
- large (12- to 16-inch) Styrofoam or straw wreath form
- quilt batting
- extra-long straight pins
- 2 skeins white or off-white yarn
- scissors
- 2 yards white or off-white wool felt
- sewing needle
- white or off-white thread
- 15 to 20 white or off-white small felt balls, 1.5-2 cm wide
Instructions to Make a Felt & Yarn Wreath
First, create a neutral surface: Wrap the wreath form with a layer of quilt batting; secure it with pins.
Make the pompoms (see top photo): Wrap the yarn around four fingers (excluding your thumb) about 24 times, until you have a thick set of loops. Tie it off in the middle with a short piece of yarn. Using scissors, cut through each loop on both sides, so that all of the ends are loose. Once they're cut, you may need to trim your pom-pom so that all of the ends are even.
Make the daisies (see middle photo): Cut a piece of felt about 1 inch wide and 12 inches long, trimming the long edges so that one side is straight and the other is slightly wavy. With a needle and thread, sew loosely (use a basting stitch) along the straight edge. When done, tie a knot at one end of the thread; then carefully pull the other end of the thread to gather the flower into a loop, with the ruffled edge on the outside. Stitch to secure the two ends together. With a needle and thread, use several stitches to attach a felt ball so that it fills the hole in the center of the flower.
Make the mums (see bottom photo): Cut a piece of felt about 2 inches wide and 12 inches long. Fold it lengthwise. Snip into the folded edge to create a fringe. Now, with the fringed side on top, begin rolling the felt, jellyroll style, from right to left. Separate and flare the petals. Then stitch the outer end of the roll to secure it in place.
Using straight pins, arrange the pompoms, daisies, and mums on the wreath in any attractive combination, covering the surface completely.

Charge brought in rabbit hunting altercationBy Brent Curtis
STAFF WRITER | March 07,2013An argument between two men hunting rabbits in West Rutland resulted in a criminal charge after one of the men allegedly swung his loaded shotgun at the other man.
John S. Jones, 57, of Proctor, pleaded innocent in Rutland criminal court last week to a misdemeanor charge of reckless endangerment. He was released on a number of court-ordered conditions.
Jones was arrested following an incident that took place Dec. 23 near the power station off Pleasant Street in West Rutland, according to the Rutland County Sheriff's Department.
Jones was hunting for rabbits in that area when he met another hunter — 28-year-old Jake Duprey and his 10-year-old son. After a brief discussion, Jones decided to leave the area to Duprey and his son, according to court records.
But less than an hour later he returned with his dogs. Duprey told police when he approached Jones, he swore at him and called him a liar.
"I told him to calm down, I have my son with me. He kept on saying he was there first," Duprey told police in a statement.
As the argument became heated, Duprey said the older man swung his pump shotgun at his chest. The two men struggled for the gun — Duprey told police he wrestled it away from Jones but Jones said he overpowered Duprey.
Duprey told police he was unsure whether Jones was trying to shoot him or just hit him with the gun — Jones told police he "smacked him on the side of his head ... with the forestock."
"At that point he grabbed the gun and we grappled for the gun," Jones wrote in a statement to police. "I told him to turn it loose or that was gonna be it and he did."
Sheriff's Deputy James Bennick asked Jones if he felt like he had to defend himself to which Jones said he did because Duprey was half his age.
Bennick said when he issued Jones a citation to reckless endangerment Jones told him that if he had to do it all over again he would have done the same thing.MORE IN This Just InBARRE TOWN One person was displaced in an apartment fire in Graniteville Saturday morning.

Maker Faire Detroit returns to The Henry Ford later this month! Lish Dorset, social media manager for The Henry Ford, fills us in on what you can expect this year at the popular event.
It feels like 2013 has been flying by so far, especially when you think that Maker Faire Detroit is right around the corner. For our fourth installment of the popular DIY festival, we're mixing a bit of the old with a lot of the new for our guests to enjoy July 27-28.
We received some truly fantastic applications this year from makers both from Michigan and across the country. More than 400 creative individuals will take to Henry Ford Museum and our specially-constructed outdoor midway for two days of hands-on fun and learning. Crowd favorites, like EepyBird (the Coke and Mentos guys) and Life-Size Mousetrap (a 25-ton Rube Goldberg machine) will return along with Gon KiRin, a 64- by 26-foot fire breathing dragon for one final appearance at Maker Faire Detroit. It's always exciting to see fans ask for some of their favorite makers and exhibits year after year.
Joining our tried-and-true favorites are a crop of new-to-us Maker Faire Detroit participants. We're pleased to have makers from all corners of the state come to The Henry Ford this month for Maker Faire. Cities, such as Lansing and Grand Rapids, will have representation as they show off their projects to a whole new audience.
Inside, the area's best computer thinkers will be trying to "hack" Henry Ford Museum thanks to Compuware's programming-themed "Hack the Museum" hackathon going on both days. Keep up to date with Maker Faire Detroit news and scheduling information with Compuware's app, too. (Visit iTunes and search for Maker Faire Detroit 2013 to download this free app to start planning your visit.)
This year's event will also honor our institution's founder, Henry Ford, as we celebrate what would have been his 150th birthday just a few days after the big event.
As Maker Faires, both big and mini, continue to gain popularity and draw bigger and bigger crowds, it's important to us to see groups recognize the power of the making movement. Recently the Michigan House and Senate passed a resolution recognizing the contributions Maker Faire Detroit has made to the state of Michigan. We're honored to say that July 27-28, 2013 is officially recognized as Maker Faire Detroit Weekend in Michigan. It's a wonderful honor and once again reinforces that the maker movement is hear to stay.
If you come to The Henry Ford for Maker Faire Detroit, make sure to share your experiences with us by tagging your posts, tweets, and photos with #MakerFaireDetroit. We can't wait to see what inspires you.
Lish Dorset is the social media manager for The Henry Ford in Dearborn. She lives in Royal Oak with her family. When she's not sharing some of her favorite artifacts from the collections of The Henry Ford with fans on Facebook, she's at home crafting and thinking of new project ideas for Maker Faire Detroit.

Implications for Study of Diseases of Dementia
PHILADELPHIA - The entire January issue of NeuroSignals is devoted to describing neurodegenerative disease research at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and Health System (See www.karger.com/nsg for a Table of Contents and Abstracts).
"Neurodegenerative diseases are a public health problem and we are doing the basic and translational science to improve how we care for people with these diseases," says John Trojanowski, MD, PhD, Director of the PENN Institute on Aging, who wrote the introductory paper, entitled, "PENN Neurodegenerative Disease Research – In The Spirit of Benjamin Franklin" for the issue.
The United States and nations across the globe are experiencing a seismic demographic shift due to the rapidly growing segment of the population 65 and older. These demographic changes reflect astonishing increases in life expectancy in the last millennium. For example, life expectancy has increased by about 27 years from 1900 to 1990, while a similar increase has occurred over the prior 5 millennia extending from the Bronze Age to 1900.
Neuro-Signals Cover
January, 2008
"The good news about this longevity revolution is that Americans are not only living longer, but their disabilities continue to decline," says Trojanowski. "However, if action is not taken immediately to plan for this demographic 'sea change', aging-related disorders like Alzheimer's disease will have ominous consequences. Significantly, the costs to Medicare for treating Alzheimer's and related dementias were $62 billion in 2000 but will increase to $1 trillion by 2050 if no effective treatments are developed.
"Although demography is the history of the future as written today, it is still possible to change the future now. For example, the burden of Alzheimer's and its costs could be reduced by half in the coming years if interventions can be developed that delay the onset of the disease by five years. This realization motivated Penn scientists to pursue research to enhance healthy brain aging and reduce the burden of Alzheimer's and other aging-related neurodegenerative diseases globally as well as nationally in our lifetime."

I have a bit of an issue... I don't sleep with baby since it has never worked out well for me or baby getting much sleep... (this is my seventh)
Yet by looking through these threads I see that I have TOO much milk many times... and my breasts REALLY let down when they let down... to the point that the baby is gulping and struggling for breath during let down. So all of the suggestions suggest LOWERING my milk supply... which is fine... but my baby (6wks) sleeps pretty well during the night and occasionally during the day, sometimes going from about midnight until 7 or 8 am until they nurse... so this cuts down my milk supply for them during the day... so I have a tendency to constantly nurse or pump during the day to keep my milk production up... otherwise I find that by two, two and a half months they aren't getting enough milk, my body is kicking back into fertility mode, and it's near impossible to increase my milk supply, which leads to me finally giving them solids early, them losing interest in breastfeeding, you name it. Mine have all been weaned by 8 months on their own... I've never had to "wean" one of them.
Any suggestions? I would love to have a baby that latches on and nurses for the pure joy of it, not just because they are hungry, which would probably mean a more laid back, less fussy, happy baby when they are awake.
Is it possible to have one breast that I can use for supply and one for "comfort"? LOL! Other than being lopsided, I don't have an issue with that! LOL!

New Year's Day fire damages Onalaska residence
A family comes home to find smoke coming from their attic on New Year's Day in Onalaska.
Onalaska Fire Chief Don Dominick said the fire happened just after 3 p.m. on the 400 block of Court Road.
Seventeen firefighters from Onalaska responded and had the fire under control in about 40 minutes.
No one was injured, but there is severe fire and water damage to parts of the home. Chief Dominic said the cause of the fire is something electrical.
"Take a look at being safe around the home when using heating appliances, just as a safety measure," Chief Dominic said. "The overwhelming majority of fires in the wintertime are from cooking."
The chief says electrical causes only account for 7-percent of fires nationwide.

3-19-10 Champion Stadium
My dad and I left Osceola County Ballpark early to attend the Tigers vs Braves game at Champion Stadium at 6:05. I figured that the gates would open at 4. We arrived a little after 3:30.
The gates were already open.
Meaning all of the Easter Eggs were gone.
There were already several ballhawks patrolling the outfield grass. The gates must have opened at 3 or 3:30.
I ended up snagging fourteen balls today, which isn't bad. It was one short of my career one day record of 15 set on 9-24-09 between Progressive Field and PNC Park.
Game: 2 Balls
Spring Training Career: 22 balls in 5 games.

Wow! Is incredible how many balls you already have! Is interesting seeing how you retrive them. I ended up with one in my four days at Arizona (the Cubs/Dodger game cancelled) only because Manny Mota threw it to me.
harassed by the kids huh, looks like there were alot to go around there, maybe not as many as pnc on a regular weeknight, two weeks til pnc, i was running on the north shore today and wanted to check out the field but the gate wasnt open, good luck the rest of the way at spring training,, i still have gotten no spring training in, my brother blew me off today to hang with his friends, i would like to get at least two sessions of practice catching hit pop ups, let me know when you can when you get back
This brought back some great memories. I was there (at Champion) for the Rays/Jays regular-season series in 2008. It's hard to snag when there are so many people in an open area. I do much better when there are actual seats.
