June 2013
The Dodgers Sweep the Giants! The Dodgers Sweep the Giants!
The Dodgers Sweep the Giants! The Dodgers Sweep the Giants!
El Maestro Jaime Jarrin mentioned yesterday that the last time the Dodgers swept the Giants was in 2009! April 13, 15, 16. Hmm no game on April 14?
The winning pitchers then were Billingsley 4/13, Broxton on 4/15 and Stults on 4/16.
This homestand the winning pitchers: 6/24, Paco Rodriguez! Anyone remembers this "Nobody says no to Paco" in the movie definitely Maybe? Stephen Fife won the game 6/25 and last night the Golden Boy Clayton Kershaw won his 6th game. It was a long time waiting for #6 but Kershaw finally won to complete the sweep and continue the winning streak at 5.
Now the Phillies are in town for a four game series. It is going to be crazy at Dodger Stadium today with Sandy Koufax bobblehead giveaway.
So off to the stadium I go! for game #43! I have not missed a game this year.
On the mound tonight: Zack Greinke against Pettibone. Let's Go Dodgers! Let's Go!
Tomorrow June 28, is my birthday! so an early birthday present for tonight is a W
Brooklyn Dodgers. Then and Now. Wayne Terwilliger
Wayne Terwilliger then and now.
Wayne Terwilliger then.
I love that picture with Maury Wills!
He signed his first professional baseball contract, with the Cubs, in September, 1948, one month after Babe Ruth died. He reported to Des Moines Cubs.
In 1949, Twig reported to spring training with the Los Angeles Cubs of the Triple A Pacific Coast League. By August he was the Chicago Cubs starting second baseman.
Terwilliger played nine seasons with five major league teams, mostly as a second baseman. He also played for six minor league teams, and managed 11 minor league teams. During his 12 years as a coach in the majors, he received World Series rings from the Minnesota Twins in 1987 and 1991.
When Terwilliger was 18, he saw action with the Marines in the Pacific during World War II.
Wayne Terwilliger now
Wayne Terwilliger now (as of 2005)
In 2005, Twig became the second man ever to manage at age 80, led the Ft Worth Cats to a league championship, posted a franchise record for wins, was Manager of the Year, got an earring (really?), and published his autobiography "Terwilliger Bunts One"
Player: Cubs (1949-51), Dodgers (1951), Senators (1953-54), Giants (1955-56), KC Athletics (1959-60), and 6 teams in the minors. DETAILS
Coach: Senators (1969-71), Rangers (1972, 1981-85), Twins (1986-94), St. Paul Saints (1995-2002), Ft. Worth Cats (2006-2010). DETAILS
Manager: Managed 12 minor-league teams; 1,224-1,089 record including 2005 Central League championship
As with all the living Brooklyn Dodger players that I have been researching and writing the Then and Now, this was also lots of fun reading about Twig. At the same time I learning about our Boys of Summer.
Twig make a pact with Jim Hollars -the Cats' chaplain, that if they won the championship, they'd both have their ears pierced. Well Jim's wife said "Not on your life" but Twig said his wife (Lin) had always joked about him getting his ear pierced.
If you like to get his book look on online or for an autographed copy, send $20 to Terwilliger Bunts One, 1909 Clear Creek Drive, Weatherford, TX 76087

Pictures from New York
I had a wonderful time in New York in our Baseball trip. There was five of us in our group, four women and a guy. At Yankee Stadium we ran into friends
Here in the picture, George, Rosie, Lorena & me. Natalie that we run into her in New York and Trinidad.
Everywhere we go, Yankee fans were saying how much they love Mattingly.
I love this picture taken by Jon SooHoo of Mattingly and Mariano Rivera.
Joe from Brooklyn in the white Dodgers shirt with his Brooklyn hat and his umbrella. Also in the picture Turtledip & her boyfriend, Bob Bacon, Serena and her dad Joe, Lorena. If you know anyone else, please ID. We saw Dodger fans walking by and we asked them to be in the picture like the guy with the sombrero.
We visited Jackie Robinson's grave. At the entrance we met Mr. T who when we asked him where Jackie Robinson's grave he said "Is a long way up there…I can give you a ride there so we squeeze the five of us plus Mr. T in his Jeep Cherokee.
We lid a candle for the Dodgers at the Cathedral of St Patrick. I bought a St. Christopher's medallion and a chain for me plus some other souvenirs. I looked for St. Rita's medallion but they did not have it.
We visited the statue of Jackie Robinson and Pee Wee Reese at the site where the Brooklyn Cyclones play
We went to visit the former site of Ebbets Field.
I had to take a picture with Hilda Chester, the original Dodger fan.
Met a Giant fan that wanted for us to take a picture putting up our dukes.
I became a member of the Hall of Fame museum so I got my ticket free after paying $40 for membership, a $10 discount offered while we there.
We visited Citi Field where the Mets were playing the Cubs.
In the picture is Miss Puiggy who is traveling with me now. She has visited Citi Field, Yankee Stadium and now Petco Park and of course Dodger Stadium is her home stadium.
I was going to include the pictures of San Diego but I'll wait for more pictures from Sunday and besides I forgot my camera at home but I do have my i-phone. Lorena will share some pictures.
Dodger Road Trip! Cooperstown then Dodgers and Yankee Series
I arrived at 7 a.m. in the Big Apple. I have done plenty of walking and with lack of sleep I just waiting for Lorena to show up so that I can go to the room and rest. Oh, I also forgot the laptop power adapter. I was able to find one at Staples. I do need it as although I am on vacation, I am also on call and will be doing some work from here.
I ran into one of the MLB Big Apples statues for the upcoming MLB All-Star game here in New York. Funny that it happened to be the Red Sox apple I ran into. It is located at the Party City store. I forget exactly where, 33rd street?
Now I want to see where the Dodger apple is located.
Here is a picture I found online of the Dodger apple
Pretty, pretty, pretty.
Tomorrow: Cooperstown. We stay a night and then is back to New York City.
I am waiting waiting for Lorena and Maria who arrived yesterday morning and headed to Atlantic City. Tonight Rosie and her brother George arrive. Yay! Lorena and Maria are here! Bye!
MLB NL Player of the Week in his first week: Yasiel Puig
Yasiel Puig had an unbelievable week! In his first week in the Majors, he batted .464 (13 for 28), hit four homeruns which included a grand slam, and got 10 RBI in the leadoff spot. Oh and what can we say of that cannon of an arm? It is just incredible! We don't expect him to do that every week but what a joy to watch this 22 year old Cuban!
Yasiel Puig's 13 hits through his first seven games are the most for any Dodger player since 1916. Even in the 8-1 Dodger loss to the Braves on Sunday he managed to go 3 for 5 and make another rocket throw from the outfield. I was at the stadium just saying "WOW!" "Amazing!"
The minute the Puig shirts were in the Dodger stores, people were buying them and you could see them everywhere at the stadium. The Puig jersey hit the store on Sunday or at least is when I saw them in the club level store. Puigmania is in full force at Dodger Stadium.

Brooklyn Dodger Players Alive. Updated List with new data
Thankfully the list of Brooklyn players alive is still the same number as when I updated the list as of January 2013. The only thing is that I updated the list to include the years the players played for the Dodgers. I got a comment asking me if I knew who of the Dodger players that are alive played with Jackie Robinson in 1947. Robert knew Ralph Branca did, but he wanted to know who else. The other two are Don Lund and Marv Rackley.
So here is the updated list with what years each of these players played for the Dodgers.
Clike on the following link to open the worksheet.

Fun Times have returned to Dodger Stadium
Oh is so much fun being at Dodger Stadium with Yasiel Puig there. I know we have to be cautious but the last two days have been fun fun fun with Cuban missile Yasiel Puig.
Monday 6/3/13 – I was so looking forward to his debut. He got two hits in the first game and in the 9th inning he used his powerful and accurate right arm to complete a game-ending double play, catching the San Diego Padres off guard in a 2-1 victory at Dodger Stadium. He sent us fans happy.
The catch
and the throw
Tuesday 6/4/13- What did he do for an uncore for this second start? He hit not one but TWO homeruns! Here is Yasiel Puig showing off his two homerun balls.
We want to see more of these balls and this
and this
How sweet to see Quentin making the last out! We dd not want to leave the stadium after the game so we hang around watching the highlights on the big screens THEN we exited the stadium. Fun fun times at Dodger Stadium. Let the party continue! Clayton Kershaw on the mound tonight!

"You know, he don't have a straight angle in that whole god-damned porch, or the whole house for that matter. He is the worst damn carpenter."
That is how Clyde, from the movie Unforgiven, described his boss – the town's sheriff, who dutifully worked on building his house in his spare time. It didn't matter to Little Bill that he needed several containers to catch the rain dribbling through his roof. He was going to finish that house by himself.
Little Bill was a bad man in the movie, but when it comes to the type of bull-headed determination that he displayed with a hammer in hand, I get him.
He never finished that house, but it wasn't from a lack of trying. Some do-it-yourselfers possess the talent to get things done the right way. The rest of us muddle through by doing the best that we can, which often isn't very good at all. My pitiful looking lawn is just one example of where that kind of thinking has gotten me.
"Just hire a lawn guy," my daughter implores.
"No, I can do it myself!"
I've proven that I can't, of course, but I won't let that stop me from trying again next year.
My latest project involved moving my subscription feed and Email subscribers from Feedburner to Feedblitz. The most recent issues with Feedburner (no updates to statistics for three days) prompted me to finally make the change. With a 32-page migration manual in hand, I migrated my small, but important, list of Email subscribers, and then I set-up notifications for my RSS subscribers, who are also important, of course, to adjust their Feed Readers. Finally, I placed the Feedblitz subscription form in the sidebar.
I didn't like the way that it looked, so hours of searching for tutorials on how to customize the form followed. I found lots of solutions for customizing the forms of other service providers, but none that helped me.
Like many bloggers, I've spent a lot of time over the years trying to get my blog to look just right. You sit down intending to make a small tweak and before you know it the sun is going down and you may have even made a mess of things. I'm a CSS novice, but I'm going to keep trying.
Mine is an unimportant, first-world problem, I know, but it bothers me anyway.
I've chosen to do things the hard way for as long as I can remember. It can be frustrating for those around me, but sometimes I do get it right. And when that happens, they get to hear me brag about it…
… forever.

Days Of Our Lives Poll: Salem Without Sami.
Although it may be hard to imagine, after several decades, Salem will once again be a Sami free zone. What could this possibly lead to, or will it make a difference at all? Without her to stir up trouble, the town may be different, but will it be any less chaotic, less filled with drama? Could anyone in town step up to the plate and take over where she left off?

Ninety-nine percent of the crazy stories Ke$ha spits out sound utterly ludicrous. One minute she's telling you about the time she infamously threw up in Paris Hilton's closet. The next, she's extolling the remarkable virtues of glitter (which somehow cures her all-too-frequent hangovers) and the necklace with the placenta from her birth that she always wears (it supposedly amps up her psychic powers).
The most fascinating aspect of the 22-year-old singer's stories, however, is that she dashes them off with such earnest verve, as if sneaking into Prince's house — don't worry, we'll circle back there in a second — were totally normal. "It's all real!" says Ke$ha (rhymes with John Tesh-a) several times during an interview over drinks at a Manhattan restaurant. "It's all honest to a f—ing fault."
Real or not, her over-the-top persona seems to be connecting. Last month, her No. 1 single, "TiK ToK," set a record for the most digital tracks sold in a seven-day period by a female artist, and it has moved more than 2.7 million downloads to date. Her album, Animal, recently knocked Susan Boyle's blockbuster debut out of the No. 1 spot after a six-week reign. "I feel kind of bad," says Ke$ha of bumping Boyle, just before randomly challenging her to a mud-wrestling match. "But it's my turn. She had six weeks! That's a really long time."
The tale of how Kesha Rose Sebert transformed herself into budding superstar Ke$ha is, as you might guess, also quite a doozy. She was born in L.A. and grew up in Nashville, where her mother, country songwriter Pebe Sebert, penned tunes for Johnny Cash and Dolly Parton, among others. When the self-avowed "marching-band dork" was 17, she got a call from Dr. Luke, the man behind such pop anthems as "Since U Been Gone" and "I Kissed a Girl," who had heard her demo. "I thought her voice was distinctive, and I fell in love with her personality," says the producer. "She had the same sass and irreverence she has now." Ke$ha decided to move to L.A., which meant turning down a scholarship to Barnard. At first, nothing came from the Dr. Luke deal, and she spent a couple of years doing backup vocals for the likes of Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, while sometimes living out of a Lincoln Town Car she'd inherited from her grandfather. One day, Ke$ha claims, she paid a gardener $5 to let her into Prince's L.A. mansion, where she left her demo (cleverly wrapped in a big purple bow). Prince never called.

Alum Provides Space for Questions and Conversation
By Margaret L. Farnham
Anna Madsen's new venture, the OMG: Center for Theological Conversation, might sound like an invitation to exchange "tweets" on a complex theological query, but the 1996 Trinity alum prefers to meet with her clients F2F.
"Theology is contextual, and what people think cannot be isolated from who they are. Although I love the rich questions I get submitted on my website, when we're able to meet face-to-face we can better think through the questions along with their context, and with what gave rise to them," she said.
Madsen is not a counselor or a spiritual director, though she has great admiration for both. "When people come in here I don't intend to make them stronger in their faith—or weaker! I just want to provide a space that is open and free, where they can ask questions even over a period of time if necessary," she said.
That space is a book-lined study in a quaint old building in downtown Sioux Falls, South Dakota. She opened the office and launched her new vocation last January, three years after leaving behind a teaching career at Augustana College and nearly six years after a tragic accident killed her husband, Bill Coning ('96), and severely injured the couple's son, Karl.
Bill died June 19, 2004, when he was struck by a car while crossing a street in Regensburg, Germany, where the family lived while Anna completed her doctoral work at the University of Regensburg. Karl, then almost 3, sustained a brain injury and spent weeks in rehabilitation. Though doctors predicted he would never walk or talk, he manages to do both, though with difficulty. He entered the third grade this fall and daughter Else, 7, entered the first.
The accident and Madsen's experiences in the years following ultimately led to the development of OMG. She said, in hindsight, she probably shouldn't have started teaching so soon after her husband's death and her move to Sioux Falls from Germany.
"I was dealing with the death of a spouse, a traumatic injury to my child, and moving to a new home," she said. She commends Augustana for their support while she made the adjustment, but the demands of teaching in the midst of grief and childcare took its toll.
"Nothing bad had ever happened to me before. Suddenly, that context of grief and exhaustion and isolation began to catch up with me," she said. She reduced her teaching load to adjunct status until 2007, when she left Augustana to work for her synod as "resident theologian." While working for the synod she found that people often sought her out with questions about God and grief and the meaning of faith.
"I think because of the tragedy and the way it took shape, and because I was a theologian, people gravitated to me. They wondered about things, and felt that I was a safe person to wonder with," she said.
"Christians aren't sure about what to do with wondering. We tend to worry (whether we realize it or not) that questions might lead to doubt which might lead to disbelief—and then what if you die? At the very least, wondering might confuse everything we thought to be 'true.' But still, people were coming to me with questions, sometimes apprehensively, sometimes excitedly…but they came. That got me thinking, something is going on here…There is no place for people to go without an agenda to promote the faith or the denomination," she said.
She initially thought about making OMG a non-profit center, but did not want to compete for grants with other important ministries in her area. Instead, she became a corporation of sorts that provides space for theological conversation or 'mentoring,' as her website explains, and workshops.
Madsen's marketers came up with the OMG moniker. "They figured out after listening to me that it is possible to have humor and whimsy and still think seriously about theology," she said. In addition, she created a website and joined Facebook and Twitter, where entries ruminate about things like the meaning of hope and the care of creation.
Since moving into her new office in January she has met with local pastors to explain her purpose. Most importantly, she wants them to know she is not out to steal their "sheep" or "screw up" their parishioners. She merely wants to serve as another resource for them.
"One pastor said, 'When I first heard about OMG I was a little annoyed. I thought, this is what I should be doing.' I said, 'You should, and write sermons and make hospital visits. But here is a way to say, I value this so much that I am going to give you the name of someone,'" she said.
"There are pastors who are really good at this, and there are pastors who are good and just overwhelmed. There are others who are not so good at it, but are better at other things."
The realization for such a service came to light in the months following Bill's death and Karl's need for constant, specialized care. Madsen said that prior to the accident, she understood pain intellectually. She would offer Easter words of hope, and then return to "Easter," her home with Bill. But she didn't realize that these people whom she visited still sat in Good Friday, and sometimes for a long, long time.
Then she found herself in the midst of real pain, not as a pastor, but as a parishioner in need of consolation and answers and room to lament. OMG started from that perspective of the parishioner, from the realization that there are people who need persistent presence, lasting long after the well-intentioned hotdishes and pastoral home visits.
Her conversation is infused with quotes and comments from mentors like former Trinity professors Don Luck, who referred to pastors as "resident rabbis"; the late Walter Bouman, who helped her to understand Easter as "an announcement that death doesn't win, based on an event of an empty tomb"; and the late Leland Elhard, of whom she said, "I now 'get' so much more than I ever could have realized in his classroom."
"Trinity helped me figure out that there was this conversation between the disciplines, and to recognize relevance, reverence and renewal, which is now OMG's tagline! Trinity did a good job of demonstrating that what we're doing here has relevance," she said.
The clients have trickled in to OMG. "One woman came and said, 'I believe in God, but I don't feel like I have a relationship or affection for God.' We were able to trace it back to her reading the Left Behind series. She was an intellectual, and so I gave her books and other commentaries to help her think differently about Revelation," Madsen said.
Another woman spoke of yearning for clarity about God's plan for her life, and Madsen shifted the conversation about God's vision instead, leading to a conversation about the nature of God. Other conversations tackle what it means to be Lutheran or faithful or divorced or political or rich, and so on.
She is slated to be the keynote speaker at the South Dakota Spring Pastor's Retreat, and she looks forward to the possibility of more opportunities like that.
In another turn of events, last spring Madsen married Reynold Nesiba, a professor of economics at Augustana. In July, the family returned to Germany where 9-year-old Karl underwent experimental stem cell therapy to hopefully improve his mobility. The doctors harvested 11 million of Karl's stem cells, and using his MRI as a map, implanted them in the wounded parts of his brain. Almost immediately, the stiffness as a result of the brain injury lessened. His speech is improving too.
The greatest advantage of OMG is the time it now allows Madsen to spend with her children.
"When you're sitting in Easter with healthy kids and a good job it is so easy to believe. But my world was turned upside down: personally, vocationally, and theologically. I get disbelief. For those who want to think about things from the perspective of disbelief or unbelief, I hope they find a resonant and non-judgmental ear. For those who do have a robust faith, I hope to invite them into the fun that one has being a Christian who thinks."

We went back to our resort and decided to find Estatoah Falls. Our resort provided us with written instructions about finding it. On the way we saw no trespassing signs. We stayed on the proper side of those signs. However, Estatoah Falls are on private property, according to some books I read. I don't know if I would recommend going there, then. The snow had melted on Mud Creek Trail. The creek is full of water. Estatoah Falls has a lot of water rushing past us. It was 2 miles round trip for us.

There is a reason for Nvidia's domination on the market of professional graphics cards. As we have made sure in our today's tests, this manufacturer can adapt its graphics architectures well to the needs of 3D CAD/CAM application users. By optimizing both the graphics hardware and the driver, Nvidia offers a well-balanced series of professional cards that provide different levels of performance for different money.
AMD doesn't have such a comprehensive strategy as yet. We couldn't get the midrange FirePro W5000 model, but the FirePro W7000 and W8000 leave us rather perplexed. Their prices differ by almost 100%, yet they often show similar results in real-life professional applications. So, the FirePro W8000, which is supposed to compete with the Quadro K5000 according to its pricing, fails to do so. The FirePro W7000, on the contrary, is often faster than the comparably priced Quadro K4000, which makes the AMD product preferable as a midrange professional graphics card, especially for such applications as Creo, NX or Solidworks. If you want higher performance and choose from top-end products, the Quadro K5000 will be the best choice almost everywhere. The FirePro W8000 should only be considered for specific situations, for example for processing complex models in 3ds Max and NX.
Of course, AMD should be given credit for trying to improve its standing on the professional graphics card market. The company seems to be going in the right direction. The transition of the FirePro series to the GCN architecture and the close collaboration with developers of professional applications are highly positive trends. However, it is going to take more effort on AMD's part to promote its FirePro products for graphics workstations of various levels. The overall OpenGL optimization of AMD's professional graphics driver is far from perfect yet as we could see in our synthetic benchmarks. Moreover, AMD pays little attention to the heat dissipation and power consumption of its cards, so the FirePro series are inferior to their Quadro opponents in this respect.
One more advantage of Nvidia's strategy is that the company's model range includes inexpensive professional cards based on the modern Kepler architecture. They support all the latest graphics technologies. While AMD offers marked-down graphics cards of previous generations in the low price segment, Nvidia releases completely new solutions like the Quadro K2000 or Quadro K600 which offer a highly attractive price/performance ratio.
Summing everything up, we should say that Nvidia's Quadro series of the 2013 model year, which features the modern Kepler architecture, remains the preferable choice for professional graphics workstations. The FirePro W series that AMD wants to improve its market standing with is only good in the middle price segment. We mean the FirePro W7000 model specifically. This graphics card offers high performance at an average price and looks good in a number of CAD/CAM applications, making it a worthy alternative to the Quadro K4000. It is clear, however, that one graphics card model is not enough for a good fight for the whole market.


text: "When NOT to Take Your Multivitamin…" If you take your multivitamin at this particular time, you could be losing impact and throwing your money away. The quality of your health could very well depend on taking the right kind of multi – at the right time… If you're currently taking or considering taking a multivitamin with a recommended serving size of only one pill a day, you're pretty much wasting your time. Why? It's very doubtful that any single pill can pack enough vitamins and minerals to truly make any real difference in complementing your healthy diet. Producers of multivitamins have come up with some pretty amazing ways to compress ingredients, but not to this extreme… not down to where a single tablet provides you the vitamin and mineral levels you need. And speaking of minerals, many producers of one-per-day vitamins don't even bother including essential minerals like potassium or magnesium in adequate enough amounts to really make a difference. What about other nutrients from sources like vegetables, fruits, and herbs? Shouldn't they be blended into your multi as well? I certainly think so. But it's also vitally important to know when to take your multivitamin. To maximize your multivitamin's benefits, you should take a few tablets first thing in the morning and with lunch, or with an early dinner to help optimize your nutrient absorption. Before we jump further into all the nutrients I believe should go into a multi, let's first take a closer look at why all multivitamins are not created equal. Some may in fact have little impact on your health. So remember, you must be very cautious when choosing a product to ensure that your multivitamin benefits and does not harm your health. Why You Should Avoid Certain Synthetic Forms of Vitamins Like the Plague… In my opinion, if you shop for your supplements at discount stores, you may be seriously shortchanging yourself because many of those products typically use cheap synthetic isolate forms. Instead of seeking a good multivitamin, millions of people take certain forms of synthetic vitamins, which do very little to support their optimal health. You see, certain synthetic forms of vitamins are partial vitamins, combined with other chemicals. They're completely different than vitamins from whole, real food. When you remove a part from the whole, you get "synthetic," "isolated," or "fractionated" pieces of the whole, but it's simply not the same. Here are four major problems with these synthetic-only vitamins… Nature intended for you to consume food in WHOLE form because all the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and enzymes are together in one package. They work synergistically to give your body the nutrition it requires for optimal health. Your body only absorbs a percentage of these synthetic forms of vitamins and minerals - and it utilizes even less. You get the best bioavailability in combination whole food form. Synthetic vitamins often give you massive quantities of some nutrients (usually the most inexpensive ones) and insufficient quantities of others. You may experience side effects of certain synthetic vitamins because the form of the vitamin is not the natural form. You've heard me say it before… Fast food and a sedentary lifestyle can be a disaster for your health. Don't let your multivitamin add to the collateral damage. In fact, you want to be sure your multivitamin benefits you and offers a real and significant contribution to your health, especially if you've already adopted healthy lifestyle practices. Who Doesn't Want to Feel Great All the Time? One thing you can do to optimize your health and feel great is to maximize your immune system's capabilities. Because face it – everybody wants to feel good all the time, don't they? Now is the time to start moving toward a healthier diet and lifestyle. Start today, by adding just one raw vegetable per day to your diet… a small, doable step toward your better health. Why make these changes today? Because, ideally, it is best to receive all your nutrition from high-quality unprocessed foods. In fact, before focusing on finding a good multivitamin, I highly recommend evaluating your diet and your lifestyle first. If you are eating a wholesome diet composed of raw fruits and vegetables, grass-fed meats, and raw dairy from reliable sources, then you may have little need for a multivitamin. Unfortunately, if you're like most people, you may find it impractical or impossible to eat right all the time. Therefore, even when you take the steps of adding raw veggies to your diet and getting some exercise and vitamin D from sunshine, you still might want to supplement with a high-quality multivitamin every day – just to be sure you're getting well-balanced and optimal nutrition. Plus, even if you do well with your diet choices, there is another important factor that involves the actual food supply itself… Up to 50% of the Nutrient Value of Your Food May Be Lost From the Start A number of carefully controlled studies have provided startling evidence that by the time food reaches your table, serious nutrient content could already be lost. Some estimates report the nutrient value lost at over 50%! This is largely the result of conventional farming methods that rely heavily on chemical fertilizers and pesticides, which deplete the soil of nutrients… nutrients that must be absorbed by plants in order to be passed on to you. And it does not necessarily end there. In many cases, it's likely you unknowingly further deplete the nutrients in your food – just by the way you prepare it. For most food, cooking it will seriously impair its nutritional value. So, realizing that you cannot always obtain the whole unprocessed foods you need – and knowing how easy it is for valuable nutrients to be destroyed – you now know why I believe adding a good multivitamin to complement your diet is a sound move. What Can a High-Quality Multivitamin Do for You? While I cannot endorse taking a supplement in place of living a healthy lifestyle, it is true that a good multivitamin benefits your optimal health. A high-quality multivitamin helps promote your strong immune system, building up your body's defenses.* Here's the stringent criteria I used to find you a high-quality, high-potency multivitamin: Must be produced by a highly reputable company with the highest-quality control manufacturing practices in place – I focused on quality as a higher priority than quantity. Must go beyond RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) and RDI (Recommended Daily Intake) guidelines for certain vitamins – In my opinion, RDA/RDI amounts define the lower limits of daily nutrient intake. I wanted the best nutrient formula to promote your optimal nutrition. Must include the added bonus of essential minerals – Minerals add their unique layer of nutritional support.* Many high-potency multivitamins with rich vitamin concentrations lack important minerals. Why You Shouldn't Settle for Inferior Quality Multivitamins When I first started my investigation, I was absolutely shocked at the low quality demonstrated by so many companies. That's why I researched for many months to identify what I believe are the absolute best supplement manufacturers in the U.S. today. The lab I chose has won outstanding awards on numerous occasions: One of the awards received by this lab was the 5-Star Gold Medal of Achievement for several of its supplements. The independent research firm, NutriSearch Corporation, issued this top award to the lab in its Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements. Of the over 1,500 products evaluated, only 4 laboratories received this top award. Why Multivitamin Plus Vital Minerals Stands Out From the Rest Let's take a closer look at some key nutrients in Multivitamin Plus Vital Minerals that are often missing from other multivitamins (or found in such low amounts that their effectiveness is highly limited): Calcium – To provide a high-level of support for your skeletal system, I chose to include an optimum amount of calcium in the formula.* My main reason for doing this was that, as you age, your need for calcium becomes more and more important to promote healthy bones.* But too much calcium also can lead to bone and joint problems as well. My Multivitamin Plus Vital Minerals formula provides 250 mg of calcium to complement your healthy diet. Magnesium – Scientific studies have reported that magnesium is helpful in supporting your lungs and overall pulmonary system.* But some lower-potency multivitamins don't include this critical ingredient. Other research shows that magnesium intake promotes bone density health.* It also helps maintain your muscular and nervous systems.* And it helps support a healthy heart, and your energy needs.* Potassium – This important mineral helps regulate your circulatory system and promotes your heart health.* In addition, research has shown that potassium is another important element in your bone density health.* As you age, bone density becomes an important element in your overall health.* These minerals provide you with significant health-supporting value in complementing your diet.* They're part of the added formula that clearly makes Multivitamin Plus Vital Minerals the optimum combination for you. High-Potency Antioxidant Formula to Help You Balance Out Free Radicals* First of all, I made every effort working with the award-winning lab to ensure that as many nutrients as possible ended up directly linked to their whole food source. To me, this became crucial in providing you a top-notch supplement. Multivitamin Plus provides you with a highly concentrated daily supplement containing more than 50 nutritional ingredients... all in a special herbal food base. One of the challenges your body faces every day is combating free radicals. Free radicals are highly reactive molecules and fragments of molecules that may impact your body at your cellular level. Free radicals constantly attack your body proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and DNA, and can cause potentially serious health concerns unless they are kept in check. Every cell in your body suffers an estimated 10,000 free radical hits each day. Your body does its best to fight back – in what is an actual battlefield at the cellular level. To help balance the effects of free radicals, Multivitamin Plus Vital Minerals provides you with high-potency amounts of an exclusive antioxidant formula that includes:* Beta-carotene – healthy vision and immune system support* Vitamin C – promotes tissue growth and repair, and healthy gums* Vitamin D3 – supports heart, bone, vascular, and immune system health* Vitamin E – helps support your muscular system* Selenium – bolsters your healthy immune system* L-cysteine – supports your immune and respiratory systems* Lutein – helps promote your healthy vision* Lycopene – supports your immune system* Red wine proanthocyanidins – provides cardiovascular support* And select extracts and powders from over 25 fruits, vegetables, and herbs Plus, there is even more… Multivitamin Plus Vital Minerals Provides You an Incredible Formula Based on Vegetables, Fruits, Herbs, and Green Foods In addition to the outstanding nutrients already discussed, the Multivitamin Plus Vital Minerals formula includes a health-promoting blend of vegetables, fruits, herbs, and green foods… Plus, a highly bioavailable form was used to ensure you could take full advantage of these nutrients.* Now you can see for yourself the highly beneficial ingredients included in the total Multivitamin Plus Vital Minerals formula. Over 2,000 mg of nutrients based on vegetables, fruits, herbs and green foods are intentionally included in the Multivitamin Plus Vital Minerals formula... nutrients that promote your optimal health in the following ways:* Nutrients Your Body Systems Supported and Promoted* Red wine proanthocyanidins Cardiovascular Blueberry Urinary tract and immune Garlic Digestive and immune Green tea extract Immune Sprouted barley juice Cardiovascular/heart Wheatgrass juice Immune and anti-aging Broccoli Prostate and immune Cauliflower Circulation and immune Spirulina Nervous and tissue Chlorella Cardiovascular and immune Green papaya extract Digestive and skin Beet extract Immune Apple pectin Immune and lungs Bromelain Respiratory and digestive Rose hips Skeletal Lemon bioflavonoids Immune Rutin Circulatory and immune Hesperidin Vascular and immune And there's an additional 700 mg of my vegetable and fruit base, further promoting your optimal health, including: Kale – provides healthy prostate support* Spinach – helps support your cardiovascular and immune systems* Carrot – assists optimal vision and cholesterol level* Radish – supports your digestive, respiratory, and nervous systems* Celery – provides you with skeletal and nervous system support* Apricot – promotes your respiratory and immune systems* Blackberry – helps support your digestive and immune systems* Cranberry – supports your urinary tract and cardiovascular system* Grape – promotes healthy circulation and cholesterol level* Pineapple – provides healthy respiratory and digestive support* And now we've added a significant enhancement to our Multivitamin Plus Vital Minerals... We've Added What I Consider a Superior Form of Folic Acid to Help Ensure You Don't Get Cheated Folic acid, or folate, an important member of the B-vitamin family, plays many important roles in your body. Folic acid: Helps maintain normal blood homocysteine levels* Helps nourish the brain and supports mood* Supports protein metabolism* Supports energy production* Promotes normal formation and functioning of red and white blood cells* For folic acid to perform all of these crucial duties in your body, it must first be activated into the biologically active form – L-5-MTHF. This is the form that's most usable by your body and the form that's able to cross the blood-brain barrier to carry out important brain functions.* However, the form most commonly added to nutritional supplements is folic acid. And here's the problem: nearly half of the population has difficulty converting folic acid to the bioactive 5-MTHF form because of a genetic reduction in enzyme activity. So if you have a reduced ability to metabolize folic acid, you may have less-than-optimal cardiovascular health. Using a 5-MTHF form of folic acid may help.* Metafolin®, a patented form of 5-MTHF, is: The form of folate that's preferred by your body More reliably bioavailable and biologically active than folic acid The only folate that can cross the blood-brain barrier And now you'll find Metafolin® – instead of folic acid – in Multivitamin Plus Vital Minerals. Warning: A Multivitamin Overloaded With Nutrients May Do You More Harm Than Good Now, I'll be the first to admit that coming up with my own special high-potency formula was a major challenge – and took quite a bit of time. This was necessary because indiscriminately throwing a number of nutrients together could actually cause more harm than good. How could that be? Well, certain amounts and types of nutrients need to be carefully measured to avoid any potential toxic buildup once they are consumed. The bottom line... not all nutrients in certain amounts work all that well together. In fact, a sort of competition can occur between some nutrients. So, much attention was directed to prevent this from occurring in Multivitamin Plus Vital Minerals. Multivitamin Plus Vital Minerals has been carefully evaluated and selected, each ingredient has been chosen for its:* Proper nutrient balance – just like too little of a nutrient does not provide you any real benefits, too much can potentially do you more harm than good Absorbability – the key to promoting your health is absorbing as much of the nutrient as possible Competitive relationship with other nutrients – a complex evaluation is performed by the scientists to make sure the amounts and types of nutrients work well together to benefit you Allergenic potential – careful selection and measurement of the nutrient to investigate potential allergy issues Long-term safety – any potential toxic buildup balanced out Order the High-Potency Multivitamin That I Designed With Your Needs in Mind Remember, don't be fooled by the nutrient amounts, or an unusually low cost (could mean synthetic nutrients used), or RDA (required daily allowance) claims by the manufacturer. This information may be totally misleading. You could be not only wasting your time and hard-earned money, but not taking proper control of your health as well. By now, I'm hoping you are as convinced as I am that Multivitamin Plus Vital Minerals is the ideal high-potency multivitamin available today. Not only is Multivitamin Plus Vital Minerals rich in balanced vitamins and essential minerals, the manufacturer that produces it adheres to the strictest quality standards. This is a winning combination like no other I've seen. Remember, I am always striving to produce the best possible products for you. There's simply no reason to settle for second best. Multivitamin Plus Vital Minerals is an exclusive formula offered through my site—and I worked hard to deliver all the high-potency vitamins and essential minerals you need while keeping the price reasonable at the same time. Compare a single bottle of Multivitamin Plus Vital Minerals to all the different supplements you'd have to purchase separately to get all the ingredients you'll get in this one convenient high-potency product. The cost of all those separate supplements could be more than double your investment in my formula! Plus, you really should consider Multivitamin Plus Vital Minerals part of your healthy food budget, not a separate supplement. After all, I worked closely with the lab to have this formula specifically designed to complement your healthy diet... not to be separated from it. Perhaps there are some processed foods you're buying that you could phase out to help better balance your healthy diet. I also now offer special multivitamin packs designed specifically for men's and women's individual needs. Each pack comes with two additional supplements that I believe truly complement Multivitamin Plus Vital Minerals. Since heart disease is one of the leading health concerns among men, I've added L-Arginine for cardiovascular health support to the men's pack. I've also added Saw Palmetto with Lycopene for men's prostate health.* In the women's pack, I included Lignans with Lycopene, a hormonal balance support supplement that not only provides nutrients to help protect breasts against normal everyday stressors, but is also clinically proven to reduce the frequency and severity of hot flashes.* And for women's thyroid health, the pack includes Iodine, which supports thyroid function, since women are at a greater risk for thyroid disease than men.* Whichever pack is best for you, when you take Multivitamin Plus Vital Minerals, I sincerely believe that you're taking an important step in complementing and optimizing your diet – so order yours now and start to Take Control of Your Health.

Q: I don't want to take 8 tablets per day. A: Totally understandable… But it's unlikely that one single tablet could hold enough vitamins and minerals to support your health.* This may be possible with synthetic ingredients made in a lab, but synthetic vitamins may not be absorbed as well as nutrients from whole foods. We can compress ingredients to some extent, but not to the point where everything you need is in one pill. "One-a-day" pills are generally missing essential ingredients or rely on lab-made synthetics. 2. Q: I already take so many supplements and have a healthy diet. Do I still need multivitamins? A: Multivitamins help support your optimal health.* They provide a broad base of nutrients needed for a strong and active lifestyle.* Taking other supplements is great, but it's doubtful that you will get a full spectrum of the nutrients you need from them. To get all the nutrients supplied by multivitamins separately, you would end up taking many more supplements. 3. Q: Why do I need all these vitamins and minerals? A: Many people today don't consume the nutrients they need. Even if you eat whole organic foods, up to 50% of their nutritional value may be lost through the cooking and preparation process. Plus, soil nutrients are not what they were 50 or 100 years ago, so it is difficult to get all your nutrients from the food you eat. A good multivitamin can help you get some of these nutrients that are missing from your diet. 4. Q: Are all of these ingredients from whole foods? A: Our Multivitamin Plus Vital Minerals includes a blend of veggies, fruits, herbs, and green foods designed to support your health.* More than 2000 mg of nutrients support your body systems.* Since this was impractical with certain nutrients, we used a bioavailable form that is easily absorbed instead.

Shane, meanwhile, has a son he only occasionally gets to see, while David doesn't know much about parenting and not much more about God and religion, something the guys talk about often. That includes Nathan who is also married, and is raising their three kids -- including 15-year-old Jade (TAYLOR HUTCHERSON) -- with his wife, Kayla (ELEANOR BROWN). Having never known his biological father, Nathan wants to be a great dad, even if that means keeping her away from older teenager Derrick (DONALD HOWZE). And that's a good thing, because -- unbeknownst to them -- Derrick has just been initiated into a drug-dealing gang run by the ruthless T.J. (T.C. STALLINGS).
At the same time, construction worker Javier Martinez (ROBERT AMAYA) has been laid off from his job, something that worries his wife, Carmen (ANGELITA NELSON), as they have bills to pay and two young kids to raise and feed. After praying to God for an answer, and thanks to a case of mistaken identity, Adam ends up hiring Javier to do some work around his house, and he soon becomes one of the deputies' close friends. But when tragedy strikes, the various men end up rethinking their roles as dads and contemplate the effect that absent or uninvolved fathers has on crime in their community.
Any time reviewers are not allowed to see movies before they open, that usually raises the red flag that a real stinker awaits our opening day paid viewing and critique. Considering that Sherwood Pictures (part of Sherwood Baptist Church) didn't show us "Fireproof" before it opened back in 2006, it's not surprising that "Courageous" was similarly withheld from any sort of advance press screening.
Pretty much the same picture (with deputies replacing firemen as the chosen occupation while similar themes are addressed), the film shows improvements in terms of technical skills, much of the acting and actually hitting believable emotional notes (both funny and heartfelt).
Yet, it similarly suffers from the "preaching to the choir" syndrome that bedevils many a religious film (subtlety isn't their strong suit and will likely once again prevent this from being any sort of crossover hit), has some occasional rough acting, is too episodic for its own good, and could and should have been trimmed by a good 30 minutes or more. Even so, it's the group's most accomplished offering to date and that's saying something. "Courageous" rates as a 5 out of 10.

Judge denies delay in Mason City murder trial
Published On: Jan 03 2013 05:42:29 AM CST Updated On: Jan 03 2013 05:42:00 AM CST
A judge in northern Iowa has denied a man's request to delay his upcoming murder trial.
The Mason City Globe Gazette reports James Farnsworth II will stand trial starting Jan. 14 in Cerro Gordo County District Court.
Judge Colleen Weiland made her ruling Wednesday after reviewing the various trial and time commitments of the court and counsel.
Farnsworth is charged with first-degree murder in the April 14 slaying of 23-year-old Ian Decker.
Farnsworth is free on a $200,000 cash bond.

July/August 2002
The Pecan Tree
The Pecan Tree, veteran keyboardist Joe Sample's first Verve release, honors and celebrates the indigenous music of his East Texas homeland. Naturally, then, expectations are of a recording dripping of bodacious BBQ sauce, tantalizing salsa and killer gumbo. But Sample, who typically intertwines ragtime, blues, Latin, gospel and bebop into his evocative contemporary compositions, forgot about that good ol' hometown cooking. Sample's heart is in the right place, but his memories must have been influenced by bland franchise food.
The CD features synth player Peter Wolf, guitarist Dean Parks, bassist Jay Anderson, drummers Larry Aberman and James Gadson and percussionists Lenny Castro and Paulinho da Costa, but despite all that talent The Pecan Tree has a generic, toned-down quality. Vocalist Lizz Wright, a new addition to Verve, and R&B crooner Howard Hewett are also incorporated into the recording. "Fool's Gold," embellished by Wright's brawny singing and Sample's Fender Rhodes treatment, has a vintage Michael Franks aura; it's a cinch for smooth-jazz radio.
Anyone who's ever seen Sample in concert will concur that he burns with the best of them. That breathtaking skill doesn't convey on The Pecan Tree except for on "The Texas Two Step," where he cuts loose and displays his trademark nimbleness, and on "X Marks the Spot," a nonoriginal by Marie Laveau, a sassy shuffle, buoyantly accentuated by Castro and Aberman. Too bad the rest of The Pecan Tree doesn't cook as much as those two tracks.

This class is highlighted, not by defensive stars, but by four likely early-round selections on offense.
Leading the way is first-round talent Odell Beckham Jr. at receiver. He is joined by fellow receiver Jarvis Landry and running back Jeremy Hill.
Running that offense last year was quarterback Zach Mettenberger, and while he probably won't be a first-round pick, he won't last on the board too much longer.
We'll break down the prospects of the big four, as well as the rest of LSU's draft hopefuls. Then check back on draft day for updates on where these players were drafted and how they'll fit in with their new teams.

The Kilmarnock Museum's latest exhibit will highlight artifacts, photos and other memorabilia from past Kilmarnock carnivals. Included are handmade "Wheel of Fortune" wheels, Bingo prizes and raffle tickets dating from 1941 when the prize was a 1941 Ford sedan.
Exhibits also include 1936 Bingo cards with corn for markers like those used at the Bingo stand for many years, nostalgic news clippings and posters. The display will continue through August 31.
Museum volunteers will man a table at the carnival each night with displays and books, postcards and DVDs for sale including "The Good Old Northern Neck," the museum's newest production. Taken from 8mm silent film, the DVD depicts scenes of the 1952 Kilmarnock fire and of Lancaster County's Tri-Centennial events, including the crowing of the queen and the parade.

Game Boy
"Now you're playing with power. Portable power."
The Game Boy has the , , and buttons and the which make the controls similar to that on the NES. In 1995 a new version of the Game Boy, as part of Nintendo's "Play It Loud!" campaign, was released. This version is exactly the same as the original; the only difference is the color of the system. Game Boy games are also avalable on the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console.
Hardware Specifications[edit]
Super Game Boy[edit]
The Super Game Boy is not an actual system; rather, it is a Super Nintendo cartridge that one could insert Game Boy cartridges into, thus enabling people to play Game Boy games on their television screens through the Super Nintendo. Certain games have additional colors that can only be seen while played on a Super Game Boy. Donkey Kong has a special color palette designed for the Super Game Boy, as well as a special border designed to resemble the original arcade cabinet. Game Boy Color games with black cartridges can be played on the Super Game Boy. These features are not avalible on the 3DS versions due to using a Game Boy emulator rather then a SNES emulator.
Game Boy Pocket[edit]
The Game Boy Pocket is the second system of the Game Boy line. As the name implies, it is a pocket-sized Game Boy with its same features, and it was lighter in weight, with a clearer screen and a longer battery life. It requires two AAA batteries rather than four AA batteries in order to play games. The first release had no battery light indicator and it was rapidly replaced with a second release with the battery light due to customer complaints. The second release made its way into markets in several different colors (red, blue, green, yellow, black, etc.).
Game Boy Light[edit]
The Game Boy Light is the third system in the Game Boy line. It was released only in Japan in April 14, 1998 because Nintendo decided to make the Game Boy Color as Western gamers wanted color, not light, but said system was also released in Japan. The system is slightly bigger than a Game Boy Pocket and came only in two colors, gold and silver. Its main function, as the name implies, is the ability to produce backlight in order to play games in low light conditions. There were several special editions such as the Astro Boy edition.
At the time, it was the rarest Game Boy system only available in Japan, but due to websites such as eBay the system became widely available in the entire world.
It was the only Game Boy system to have proper backlight until the release of the Game Boy Advance SP.
The Game Boy has had a number of remakes.
Appearances in the Mario series[edit]
In the Game Boy comics mini-series by Valiant, Game Boys acted as gateways between the Mushroom World and Earth.
The Club Nintendo comic "Wart steht unter Strom" is about Wart (who is Bowser erroneously labeled as "Wart") who is playing Game Boy. The power of the batteries expires, so Wart carelessly throws the batteries away. Mario reminds him that they should be disposed of in containers instead.
In the Nintendo Adventure Book Doors to Doom, Mario and Luigi can encounter Wart, who is relaxing in his lair and playing a Game Boy, having mellowed out and become a skateboarder since his last encounter with the heroes.
In Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Mario is able to buy a Game Boy from a Toad in the Mushroom Kingdom.
In Luigi's Mansion, there is a Boo called Game Boo, which is probably a pun on Game Boy or its series.
In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, there is an oversized Game Boy as the scoreboard in the Pianta Parlor.
In WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!, 9 Volt has a giant Game Boy in his house.
A stage that takes place in a Game Boy system, Dream Land (based on Kirby's Dream Land), appears in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. Additionally, during the Classic mode credits minigame, hitting the Nintendo logo towards the end plays the Game Boy start-up sound.

Other videos put out by Arcade:
The Trip features the Arcade Team as they traveled to the four corners of America in an RV filled with tequila, packs of ramen noodles, boxes of condoms, a bunch of white guys, and two black guys. Much of the video is spent watching the month long hjinx of the team on the road, in hotels, and in various cities. Much of the skating is what to be expected of a tour video, an enormous amount of park footage with 10 year olds begging for autographs and free Arcade product in the background. The little skate footage inside makes up about 13 minutes of this 48-minute video.
Going out on the open road with friends is the greatest trip anyone can ever have. Unfortunately, no video will ever do justice for how good the road trip was in reality. I'm sure that the folks from Arcade had the greatest times of their lives but unless you were in the RV with them or knew the team personally, watching this video licks ass. Tour videos can get pretty old. There are always tons of crappy demo footage followed by pranks on sleeping homies, lots of dudes failing to get laid, and plenty of boozin' and pukin', blah, blah! Haven't we seen this shit in skateboarding videos before? The Trip is probably a dream for kids discovering zits on their face for the first time but a bore for folks getting their first wrinkles.
Slanty Slits
I'm not sure who makes the target market for tour videos, but it only makes sense that the team involved and anyone who attended one of the demos would get the biggest kicks. Other than that, I don't know why anyone wouldn't just wait for the company to release their next non-tour video. The Trip kind of plays like an episode of The Real World, except with a lower production budget. I never got into the whole reality television thing, so needless to say this video isn't really high up on my list. There's a whole lot of footage of the team hanging out, partying, drinking, goofing off, and even some "Girls Gone Wild" moments, but not much skating. And when you do see skating, it's good, but it's a lot of the same tricks repeated over and over at different skateparks. Due to its length and general lack of skating, The Trip doesn't really lend itself to repeated viewings.

November Data is Now Live – BET.com, Hallmark.com, Black Friday and more…
Happy holidays! To ring in the holiday season, November data is live and available in Compete PRO! Speaking of the holidays, Black Friday dominated the Monthly Fast Movers this time around. Beyond discount aggregator sites like BlackFriday.fm, TheBlackFriday.com, NoMoreRack.com, and BlackFriday.com, several brands also made it into the top Fast Movers like Hallmark.com and Express.com.
Sunday Series: Hockey Picks Up Early in the Season
If you are a hockey fan, you are used to the ups and downs that the sport can put you through—both by your favorite team and the league itself. This year seems to be the start of a very good for hockey. This is assumed by the uncharacteristic multi-month rise in traffic when traffic numbbers are normally flat. In the past, the category didn't see a lift until January, when many of the casual fans may begin to watch after their favorite football team didn't make or lost in the playoffs.
Sunday Series: Boeing Helps Travel Category Get Going
October was a great month for the "Corporate Travel" category. In fact, it was the best month that the category has had in the past two years. After a record 25% month-over-month (MoM) increase, the category saw a little over three million unique visitors (UVs). This is one of the first times that the category made it to our list of fast movers and is quite impressive for the relatively small category. But what exactly helped the category perform so well?
Sunday Series: Fashion & Style Among October's Fast Movers
For this week's Sunday Series, we have a category that hasn't made the fast movers list for some time now, the "Fashion and Style" category. As a whole the category saw a 15.6% month-over-month (MoM) increase in unique visitors (UVs). This brought the total category UVs up to 15.9 million for the month of October – the highest that it has been in over a year.
Sunday Series: Healthcare.gov Traffic Gives Large Boost to Insurance Category
If you were following current events during the month of October then you are probably aware of one of the top stories – the government shutdown and the launch of healthcare.gov, the acting portal of the Affordable Care Act. Knowing this, it's not surprising that the "Insurance & Physicians" category made our list of fast moving categories.
Sunday Series: Fantasy Football Fast Movers
As the football season moves along and your home team playoff hopes begin to crash and burn or rise at a worrisome pace (I'm an Eagles fan, a city where hope is poisonous and it is foolish to be too optimistic), many of us have turned to our fantasy football teams for solace. The category as a whole is doing the best it has in at least two years. After a 34% month-over-month (MoM) increase in unique visitors (UVs), the category is now seeing over 25 million UVs.
Sunday Series: Academic Resources See Boost With School Commencement
Now that September's data is live, our list of fast moving categories is full of academic related sites. Everything from academic-related textbook publishers to citation and formatting related sites have seen double-digit growth. One of the most interesting categories is the "Academic Associations & Resources" category which saw a 40% month-over-month (MoM) lift to 23.2 million unique visitors (UVs).
September Data is Now Live at Compete
It's that time of the month again, and September's data is now live in Compete PRO. Many of you have taken time to email or tweet your appreciation for the data going live. Thank you! We really appreciate it. It is a big effort to get the data ready. It involves working with 500 million database records every day that we receive from 2 million panelists, extracting and transforming that data, normalizing and projecting that data, creating metrics from that data, and ensuring the quality of the data.
Sunday Series: As the Summer Ends, the Job Search Begins
Image from: Job Search / Shutterstock For the second month in a row, the "Job Search" category is a fast mover. I'm not sure how I fell about this fact. It could mean that people are relying more and more on the internet to find a job or it could mean that more and more people are looking for a job. Either way, the category is up 8.9% month-over-month (MoM)
Sunday Series: Textbook Sales Helping to Save Book Category
This summer has been rough to the book industry. After a two-year low in June and a slight recovery during July, the start of the school year is finally getting the category back to it's normal levels. Although the 15% month over month (MoM) increase in traffic seems high, it still lower than last year's 23% July to August MoM increase.
Sunday Series: Football Category Scores as Season Begins
Making the fast mover list before the pre-season began, the Football category was bound to move to the top of the list in August. Yes, football season has started and with it the flood of traffic to the various football oriented sites.

New Mexico State Parks invites public comment on a draft feasibility study evaluating possible long-term partnerships between Eastern New Mexico University and New Mexico State Parks at the Blackwater Draw site. Senate Memorial 42, passed by the Legislature in 2007, requested State Parks to complete a feasibility study to consider long-term partnerships, including the possible designation of Blackwater Draw as a state park.
"Blackwater Draw is a tremendously significant cultural and educational resource," said State Parks Director David Simon. "The site is worthy of our respect and protection and some form of long-term partnership seems feasible and appropriate."
The Blackwater Draw site is an internationally-significant prehistoric site that currently is owned and managed by Eastern New Mexico University. While the University does open the facility to visitors, the University is limited in their ability to provide educational and interpretive opportunities, as well as to manage tourists and other visitors.
The draft study lays out four alternatives:
• Alternative 1 is for no action. Eastern New Mexico University would continue to operate the site without assistance from State Parks;
• Alternative 2 is for State Parks to provide an interpretive ranger and educational assistance at the site;
• Alternative 3 is for State Parks to upgrade the existing facilities, including the visitor center, trails, and interpretive signs;
• Alternative 4 is a combination of Alternatives 2 and 3, formally establishing a state park at the site and incorporating all the actions under Alternatives 2 and 3.
In all of the alternatives, Eastern New Mexico University would retain direct involvement and responsibilities for research.
The feasibility study concludes that Blackwater Draw does meet the criteria as a state park laid out in state law. Those criteria are: (1) the park should contain a diversity of resources of scientific, aesthetic, geologic, natural or historic value; (2) the park should provide recreation opportunities to assure visitation; and (3) the park is required to conform to the Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan, or SCORP.
New Mexico State Parks and Eastern New Mexico University will host a public meeting about the study at 6 p.m. Feb. 26 in the Sandia Room of the Campus Union Building in Portales. Staff will be available to answer questions and accept comments on the study.
The feasibility study will be available for public review and comment for 30 days. The study is available at www.nmparks.com or the State Parks Division main office, located at 1220 S. St. Francis Drive, Santa Fe or by calling 505-476-3355. Copies also are available at Eastern New Mexico University in Portales, 575-562-1011; Lea Hall Anthropology and Applied Archaeology office, 575-562-2206; the Blackwater Draw site on Highway 467 and the Blackwater Draw Museum on Highway 70; and at Oasis State Park, 575-356-5331.
Public documents can be provided in various accessible formats. Individuals requiring additional assistance may also contact New Mexico voice relay at 800-659-1779 or TTD 800-659-8331.
Public comments on the study will be accepted until 5:00 p.m. on March 2. All comments must be submitted by mail, fax, or e-mail to: New Mexico State Parks, P.O. Box 1147, Santa Fe, NM 87504-1147; Fax: 505-476-3361; e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com.

HOLLAND, N.Y. – John Grandits was the big winner of round one of Carwarz Crash-A-Rama fueled by Kwik-Fill on Saturday night in front of a packed house at the Holland NASCAR Motorsports Complex.
Donald Dillenburg won the School Bus Figure 8 race. Jason Eck won the Boat-Trailer Race. Matt Serafin collected the win in the Flag Pole race. Demolition Derby specialist Tim Haniszewski out dueled his brother Tyler to pick up the win in the Demo while Eck's team was awarded the win in the Roller Derby.
The Enduro saw 65 entries take the initial green flag with Jonathan Martinez and Jeff Szafraniec leading the opening circuits. After the first red flag of the event, 4 Cylinder Hornet competitors Jeff Szafraniec and Kenny Hejna were leading the way. With Szafraniec, Hejna showing the way, Grandits raced his way into third. Off a lap 13 red flag, Grandits was able to move into the lead with past race winner Bob Wodzinski moving into second and then into the lead unofficially on lap 15.
Grandits would pass Wodzinski for the lead on lap 24. Wodzinski suffered a flat tire and pulled into the infield. With Wodzinski out of action, Jeff Szafraniec and Kenny Hejna moved back into the second and third. Jeff Joy took a hard hit in the turn one fence on lap 39. He was alert and talking to the medical personnel on site and was taken to an area hospital for observation. Once the race went green, John Grandits went on to pick up the victory.
Dave Warner and Jason Eck led the School Bus Figure 8 race to the green flag for their 15 lap A-Main with Warner showing the way. Dillenburg raced his way into second and then Dillenburg took over the race lead on lap five over Warner in second and Kevin Becker in third. Becker moved into second at the cross-flags and began his chase of Dillenburg. Qualifying winner Dave Beyea raced his way into third and then after Becker blew a tire, Beyea moved into second. Beyea, a race rookie, moved in quickly on Dillenburg but Dillenburg was able to pick up the win.
Nearly 20 entries competed in the popular Boat-Trailer Race saw Eck showing the way early and Eck was able to avoid the mayhem and picked up his third Boat-Trailer race victory. Eck also won the event at Lake Erie and at Columbus Motor Speedway in Ohio earlier this season.
Twenty entries took part in the Flag Pole Race and it was Grandits showing the way early. Serafin raced in second and the battle was on for third between Eck and Darren Lenhardt with Eck getting the advantage coming out of the flag pole turn. Serafin passed Grandits for the race lead at the two to go signal and Serafin was able to go on to score the win over Grandits.
Eck's Roller Derby team, which also included Hejna, won the competitive Roller Derby after ousting 10 other teams. For the Demolition Derby, Tim Haniszewski Jr. picked up the win. Clint Riegle flipped during the Derby but walked away under his own power.

Assessment in hands of voters
On June 26, Paxton will be conducting a general election to consider implementing a Proposition 2½ override to fund the town's Wachusett Regional School District assessment. Confusion appears to exist over the meaning of this election due to the "super majority rule" of the regional agreement, i.e., the requirement that four out of five towns must approve their WRSD assessments for the district school budget to pass.
At the recent town meeting in Rutland, town officials presented, and the residents subsequently approved, an assessment that was less than that requested by the school committee. Therefore, the WRSD budget was rejected by Rutland. Because Holden, Princeton and Sterling have already approved their district assessments, it is now up to Paxton, as the fifth town, to either approve or reject Paxton's assessment and, therefore, the WRSD budget. An approval of the override at the polls next Tuesday would result in a four-town approval of the WRSD budget and an increase in Paxton resident property taxes to pay for the town's share of that budget. Rutland, as the only town that did not approve the requested assessment, would be required to cover the amount voted by the school committee.
Why are we required to pay for our schools with an override? During the budget process, it was found that the operating budget (OB) of the town increased by 1.2 percent above the FY2012 value. All discretionary budgets were level funded to FY2012 amounts by reducing departmental requests by $252,000. In contrast to the OB, the initial WRSD assessment for Paxton was 7.4 percent above FY2012. Although this percentage has since been reduced to 4.6 percent, it is still significantly above the 0.8 percent increase that Paxton was able to offer the school without further lowering the OB. It was decided that because the budget deficit derived from the WRSD assessment, Paxton residents should be given the opportunity to either pay for, or reject, the excess increase in school assessment.
At present, as a result of the school assessment, the budget deficit in Paxton is $181,546, representing a property tax of approximately $39/ year/$100,000 assessed value. On Tuesday, if the override passes, the property tax will rise and the deficit will be erased. If it fails, the school board will most likely in late June or early July reduce the assessments to all five towns by an unknown amount. If the school board reduces the overall budget to allow for a Rutland assessment equal to that which the Rutland residents approved at their last town meeting, a reduction in Paxton's deficit from $181,546 to $142,000 would result. The latter value would be covered by a property tax increase of approximately $31/year/$100,000 assessed value.
In July, if Rutland residents approve their new school assessment, Paxton will be required to accept its WRSD assessment and the assessment won't be reduced any further. Paxton will have another town meeting in July to choose between either paying for the school assessment contingent on an override or accepting a reduction to the town OB. If they again choose an override over budget reductions, there may be another general election in August.
In conclusion, one needs to approach the election Tuesday as just one step in what is turning out to be a rather slow process. Approval of the override will increase property taxes, thereby eliminating further cuts to town services. Disapproval of the override should result in a reduced WRSD assessment and the need for another town meeting to consider it. At this point, it's all in the hands of the voters.
