yeah an egg cream! I love sabretts with that crunch and garlic flavor. I eat about 10 when I go back home. I often think of doing a Jimmy Buff Italian Hot Dog (a real NJ thing like taylor ham) but working with boiling oil is too messy for me. I made about 30 Jimmy Buffs out here in OH last year-used pizza dough for the rolls and the staff at our school bought them up as fast as I could make them but it made such a mess. They still keep asking when am I going to do them again. I think if someone did those on a food truck they would make a killing! Walter
Jimmy Buffs is the king of hot dogs IMO and if you know where to go in NJ you can find food as good as most NYC places. Jersey got slammed everytime I ventured into NYC and said where I was from. It was like I was some kind of inferior being from a culturarl wasteland and I should get on my knees and worship NYC. I got tired of it to tell you the truth and haven't been back to NYC since the late 80's with my band. I hated playing NYC. You had the tolls, traffic, parking, problems, and on top of that it never paid enough to break even. Conversely, I was playing NJ clubs that were packed and wild and making a grand a week in my pocket as a teen. Taylor ham and Jimmy Buffs are Jersey originals. We use to walk to the original store and get one for a buck. Watching them being made was as much fun as eating them. It was a good 15 minute walk so we would park ourselves there for good while before heading out. Home made Italian lemon ice was the dessert stop at an Italian Bakery. Both Jimmy's and the bakery are long gone. I see they have franchised out and found this video. It has a different fryer system with ingredients being cooked seperately. The first video is the original set up. I know a food truck serving these would kill out here on the summer/fall festival circuit as well as parked in a good location in Columbus. A third generation NYC pizzeria owner I know that lives in Columbus has tried to get me to run a pizzeria for him. He is a big supporter of our program and was trying to buy a small shop here in my area but nothing turned up. He was even willing to buy a van and bus us all into Columbus everyday (40 miles each way). I would handpick a special needs staff but declined because my current gig is still going good. He and his wife come to get out pizza regularly as well as volunteer when we get big orders. I turned him on to Jimmy Buffs and he loved them. He had never heard of them. He was debating the food truck idea as well as another guy I know out here who I gave one to. The midwest likes large, greasy, potatoes, hot dogs, bread. It could be a goldmine and the equipment needed on the truck is minimual. We could make the pizza bread for them. Anyway, NJ got it all over NYC for me Walter
We use the same dough as the bagels- malt syrup...
Walter, I've been meaning to tell you something (because I was already pretty sure you use malt syrup or powder for bagels): I desperately need malt syrup!!! I've never used malt syrup and I have no idea where to get it, and I'm sure if I go to a place that carries it I'd have to buy a large quantity. So I'm hoping either: 1) I can buy some from you; or 2) You can let me know where I can get some.Someone with some inside information posted a while back that malt syrup or powder is kind of the magic ingredient for Tommy's dough, and his explanation added up. So I've been dying to get my hands on some of this stuff.
Another great video. It seems that they only have 2 locations and are keeping it in the family???That NYC vs. NJ thing is just silly bravado crapola that has been around forever. Like a crosstown rivalry. Anyone who can't see that NJ has its serious food scene is just nuts. You proved it alone just by mentioning Taylor Ham and Jimmy Buffs.What's involved in making that pizza bread for the Jimmy Buff Hot Dog? I haven't had a Taylor Ham in about forever. I don't think there is anyplace around here that has even heard of such a thing. I remember my Dad taking me to the Boardwalk in NJ and geting one for he and I. He put ketchup on it. Heaven.Barry
Ryan: Yes I buy it by the case in the large bottles. I have been buying from them for years. Great service. Walter
It's not as ridiculous as you might think. The square cut is also known as the "tavern cut", "party cut" and "family cut". Family pizza night is a long tradition in the mid-west. The square cut makes it more like a fried chicken dinner where every family member has their favorite pieces and order in which they'll eat them. Pizza eaters that don't eat crust (often kids) love the center pieces most. It's also like Bob says, the pizza gets enjoyed over the course of several hours with lots of great conversation. You eat until you're full and hang out and often times you decide you have room for a couple more squares or even to decide as a group to order another pizza.As for the style itself, compared to NY pizza it's very topping forward. The crust is a conduit for the fresh cheese, house made sausage and the individual restaurant's secret sauce. NY style pizza is more about balance and how all the textures and flavors come together in your mouth.
Well described. I also think of the square cuts as an "appetizer" pizza.

Vos: Wisconsin gas taxes 'probably' won't rise
Norway runners challenge
By BURT ANGELI
Sports Writer
NORWAY – Negaunee's girls, a dynasty when it comes to Mid-Peninsula Conference cross country, added a fifth straight league title Thursday at Strawberry Lake Park.
Negaunee's boys may be ready follow the girls to great heights.
"The girls did very well," Negaunee Coach Lisa Bigalk said. "We also had individual goals and most of them were met.
"They did what they needed to win the meet. That was most important."
The Miners registered 39 points to best Westwood, 70; Norway, 75; Ishpeming, 76, and Manistique, 91.
Negaunee's boys, with sophomore Grant Johnson and senior Keenan Gantz running one-two, chalked up 19 points in dominating the field. Runner-up Ishpeming posted 70 points, followed by Gwinn, 78; Norway, 108, and Westwood, 115.
"I think we were expected to win but sometimes you put a target on your back," Bigalk said. "They really performed above and beyond.
"Some of them really stepped it up."
Six Negaunee boys placed in the top 10, with just the top five counted for the team score. In addition to Johnson and Gantz, Mark Anderson took fourth; Ethan Wallner, fifth; Zach Carlson, seventh, and Kapin Fox, ninth.
"I have some young freshmen who are just incredible," Bigalk noted. "They really helped this varsity team."
Gantz seconded his coach.
"In my four years this is our best team," Ganzt said. "We have a lot of strong freshmen and Grant is a real good runner.
"The freshmen are really making this team. This is the best freshmen class we've had in a long time."
Wyleen Kniola, two-time defending MPC champ, led the Negaunee girls with a third (21:33). Melanie Kniola (fourth), Freddi Gjerrild (sixth) and Rachel Ring (11th) also medaled.
Manistique sophomore Holly Blowers led from start to finish, notching a personal best time of 20 minutes, 39 seconds, over the 3.1-mile course.
"I wanted to get a good start and get a good distance from everybody," Blowers said. "I wasn't expecting a PR today. I haven't been practicing and I was really surprised with my performance."
Conflicts with volleyball have limited her cross country workouts. This was her final event of the season with a cousin's wedding in Hawaii nixing her participation in the U.P. Finals.
"I was pretty happy altogether," said Blowers, who finished third last year. "This is probably one of my favorite courses. I was expecting something different because I've never run here before but I've heard stories about it's really hilly. There was one big hill but it evened out by going downhill."
Norway sophomore Kyra Johnson, second to Blowers, also clocked a personal best (20:46).
"I ran harder than I ever have in my life," said Johnson, who appreciated family and friends cheering her on. "I was thinking I had a chance to win this. I just booked it and started going crazy at the the end."
Johnson cited Blowers for the faster time.
"It was great to have her for competition," she said.
Westwood's Anni Bjork (22:28) wound up fifth. Coach David Langin's Knights also placed Alexis Kallenbach, seventh, and Sarah Bietila, 10th.
Norway's Justin Anderson held the lead over Johnson and Gantz until confronted with Borchardt's Hill.
"It was good until the big hill," Anderson said. "That's when they passed me and I tried to stay with them. But they kicked it in around the corner there.
"They sprinted up the hill and that's where I got tired a little."
Johnson (17:56), Gantz (17:59) and Anderson (18:38) claimed the top three spots.
"We kind of paced each other but the Norway kid was out front early," said Johnson, who ran a personal best. "We kind of let him peter out and took over. We were side by side until the last 50 meters and that's when I kicked it in."
This was Johnson's second first of the season.
"Marquette's not here so it's a lot easier," Johnson said with a smile.
Health problems, primarily wisdom teeth, have slowed Gantz in his final season.
"For this year, it's one of my better ones," Gantz said. "I'm getting better now.
"I wanted to stay with Grant. We work off each other and try to be one-two and see who comes out with the win."
Norway hosts a small cross country meet Monday in preparation for the U.P. meet Saturday, Oct. 19, in Marquette.

The launch if Nvidia Corp.'s GeForce GTX 400-series graphics boards is getting closer and it looks like ATI's add-in-board partners are gearing up for this launch just like Nvidia's allies. At least three manufacturers of graphics cards are preparing to release factory-overclocked ATI Radeon HD 5970 graphics boards with 4GB of memory, which will raise performance bar for high-end accelerators.
Asustek Computer seems to be the first company that decided to create a higher-performance version of the Radeon HD 5970 graphics board. Asus Ares graphics card features two ATI Radeon HD 5870 graphics processors (with 1600 stream processors) running at 850MHz with 256-bit bus and 4GB of GDDR5 memory running at 4800MHz. The graphics board may provide 20% higher performance compared to ATI's original Radeon HD 5970. The card features two one dual-link DVI-I connector, DisplayPort connector as well as mini-DisplayPort outputs. The card utilizes proprietary design with two 8-pin and one 6-pin PCI Express power connectors as well as a proprietary cooling system.
Sapphire Technology is another company planning to release enhanced ATI Radeon HD 5970 with 4GB memory. The board will carry two Cypress graphics processors with 850MHz clock-speed with 2GB of 4800MHz GDDR5 memory per chip. The card will also have proprietary design with two 8-pin PCIe power connectors, two dual-link DVI-I and a mini-DisplayPort connectors as well as ArticCooling cooling system with three fans.
XFX Radeon HD 5970 Black Edition Limited will also feature two fully-fledged ATI Radeon HD 5870 graphics chips with original clock-speeds, e.g. 850MHz for the GPU and 4800MHz for 4GB of memory. The most interesting thing about this graphics board is that it has a cooling system that looks very similar to that developed by ATI itself for the original model 5970, which implies that the Radeon HD 5970 Black Edition Limited will not be a proprietary product by XFX, but a solution offered by all partners of AMD's graphics business unit. The board has six mini-DisplayPort connectors, which seems excessive considering the fact that multi-GPU ATI CrossFireX technology that powers dual-chip graphics cards only supports simultaneous rendering to three monitors. The device requires two 8-pin PCIe power connectors.
Provided that the original ATI Radeon HD 5970 has higher performance compared to Nvidia GeForce GTX 480 graphics board and various enhanced versions of the model 5970 will be even speedier, then prices on such products may reach rather unprecedented values. Still, considering the fact that both Asustek and Sapphire decided to use their proprietary designs of print-circuit boards, it does not look like such graphics cards will become truly mass: they should be by definition very expensive and the manufacturers will try to make them somewhat exclusive as well.

Last week, entrepreneurs from across the United States and around the globe were celebrated and lauded for their efforts to promote growth, innovation, and job creation at more than 40,000 events in 130 countries during the fifth annual Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW). The White House and the State Department marked the week with the "Celebration of Global Entrepreneurship" event on November 15, which brought together an all-star cast of speakers to highlight the importance of global entrepreneurship; the role of government, youth, and diaspora in promoting entrepreneurship; skills building; enabling policy; and ensuring access to capital. Over 150 government, private sector, and diplomatic corps representatives joined the event at the White House and provided suggestions for how government can enhance and strengthen opportunities for entrepreneurship and help channel the creativity, innovation, and potential of millions of individuals around the world to create economic opportunity.
"Promoting entrepreneurship plays to America's strengths. Our entrepreneurship is admired around the world, even by people who dislike our politics," said Deputy Secretary of State Thomas Nides at the event. "Bringing innovative people together helps us bridge divides and build richer, stronger ties across borders."
The promotion of entrepreneurship, especially among youths, contributes to a culture of innovation and collaboration that creates opportunity and prosperity for the United States and the communities where we work. However, entrepreneurs need to have skills, networks, regulatory environments, and access to capital to make their best business ideas a reality. As Secretary Clinton has often emphasized, "Talent is universal, opportunity is not." One of the many ways in which the State Department is creating opportunity for entrepreneurs is through partnerships that provide young innovators with the support and resources necessary to get started.
Through efforts such as Partners for a New Beginning and the International diaspora Engagement Alliance, we are bringing together local partners in local communities to create an enabling environment that will help entrepreneurs succeed. As Secretary Madeleine Albright told the group at the White House event, "These partnerships take advantage of local initiatives and capture innovation on the ground to help play the role of matchmaker globally."
The White House event highlighted how partnerships can be particularly effective in the Middle East and North Africa region. Panelists such as Ossama Hassanein of TechWadi, Driss R. Temsamani of the Maghreb Economic Growth Fund, and Oltac Unsal of the World Bank's infoDev represented successful entrepreneurs and founders from across the Gulf, Levant, and Maghreb. Each speaker exemplified the talent, motivation, and ingenuity that the State Department works to support.
Entrepreneurs such as these partners drive prosperity and security across the region. Together they deliver products and services that enhance their communities while employing people. The experiences, insights, and stories shared last week are the reason to build entrepreneurship ecosystems around the world.
The "Celebration of Global Entrepreneurship" is only the starting point of a deeper conversation that will culminate in the Global Entrepreneurship Summit in Dubai next month. As the Summit's host Minister Mohammed al-Gergawi explained, the story of the United Arab Emirates is one of entrepreneurship that has made it a natural hub and convening spot for this year.
Entrepreneurship is the single most important driver of job creation in a country. Job growth, in turn, underpins long-term economic development and political stability. In regions with high youth unemployment, we've seen greater levels of dissatisfaction and unrest than in regions without unemployment issues. That's why the State Department is working worldwide to promote entrepreneurship as an alternative to traditional employment opportunities. Building broad coalitions and comprehensive partnerships -- including with foreign governments, multilateral organizations, civil society groups, universities, foundations, corporations, and others -- to address the challenges entrepreneurs face is a critical, ongoing theme for both the last week and the White House event. Yet this is only the beginning as the true power of entrepreneurship and partnerships are being unleashed globally.

Activates Peak Load Program On Second Day This Week; New York
City Customers to Cut Demand by Over 50,000 Kilowatts
Michael Saltzman
printer-friendly version
July 3, 2002
NEW YORK—For
the second consecutive day, the New York Power Authority (NYPA) has
activated its Peak Load Management (PLM) program to help reduce power use
during peak demand hours, from 11 a.m. through 5 p.m. The action will cut
electricity consumption in New York City by more than 50,000 kilowatts, or
an amount equal to the output of a small power plant.
NYPA customers
participating in the PLM program, including New York City government, the
Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the City and State Universities of
New York and Salomon Smith Barney, receive $40 for each kilowatt of
electricity they commit to save during the high-demand summer months. The
Power Authority may make cutback requests for up to 15 weekdays during those
In addition to
today and yesterday, the Authority activated the program two days last
participants achieve the power cutbacks by implementing energy-saving
measures such as turning off or adjusting non-essential appliances and using
their own generators.
The New York
Power Authority's Peak Load Management program is part of a statewide effort
to reduce the demand for electricity. The New York Independent System
Operator (NYISO), the New York State Energy Research & Development Authority
(NYSERDA), the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA), and the State Public
Service Commission (PSC) are coordinating efforts to sustain the reliability
of New York State's electricity supplies during the peak demand periods
caused by summer heat.
In addition to
the more than 50,000 kilowatts of demand reduction from NYPA's New York City
customers enrolled in the Peak Load Management Program, NYPA has enlisted
its customers throughout the state to commit to more than 360,000 kilowatts
of energy reductions under separate contract arrangements or though NYISO
demand reduction programs.

Grand Marais harbor finally receives due
Visitors to Grand Marais – whether arriving by land or water – are greeted by a wonderful harbor that features wide stretches of pristine sand beaches, a marina and plenty of open water for recreation.
However, the harbor has been less than inviting for many years, ever since a breakwater that protected the harbor from the ravages of Lake Superior deteriorated to the point of being useless.
Compounding this dilemma was the fact that shifting currents filled the harbor with a tremendous sand load, making it difficult for boats large enough to safely ply Superior's water to navigate through the harbor and access the marina.
This all changed recently, though, through the unrelenting efforts of the small community of Grand Marais, which has a tourism-based economy that centers around the harbor and Lake Superior.
Residents have been pushing for a replacement breakwater to keep the waves and sand of Lake Superior out of the harbor for several decades, and that effort paid off last fall.
Through a cooperative effort between the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, other federal, state and local officials, the funding was secured to build a 1,400-foot breakwater across the mouth of the harbor.
The $7-million project – which included more than a 1,000 semi tractor-trailer truckloads of rocks and armor stones each weighing 7 tons to 9 tons – was funded by $1.8 million secured by federal lawmakers, a one-time $4 million appropriation in the state's 2012 budget, $1 million from the Michigan Waterways Commission and $200,000 raised by the community.
One of the champions of the breakwater effort was Jack Hubbard, Grand Marais resident and longtime Supervisor of Burt Township, which the village is situated in. He commended the community for never giving up on its mission to protect its harbor, as well as politicians who also worked hard to make the project a reality.
Not all the work is done, though, with a major dredging project needed to make the marina once again serviceable for the boating community.
Thankfully, the marina is one of 12 in the Upper Peninsula scheduled to be dredged this year with emergency dredging funds the state appropriated.
The Grand Marais Harbor success story is one the community can be proud of.

Here's how RW members rated this race (156 votes).
In short: Good undulating off road run.In full: This race has to be one of my favorite off road events. I,ve done this race now for three years and each time the conditions vary. Date of review: June 5, 2005
In short: Excellent marshals, friendly people, very very very muddyIn full: The whole days rain the day before didn't help. A lot of this course is on bridlepaths/footpaths, ankle deep in places. In the summer, this is a lovely run but very muddy in Feb. No water left at the finish by the time I got back and I wasn't even last!!!Date of review: February 21, 2005
In short: Love it, especially cos the last mile is all downhill!Date of review: February 8, 2005
In short: Muddy and a bit more than 10 miles - but funDate of review: February 8, 2005
In short: Mud, mud and more mud - grat funIn full: Great marshalling - thanks. Will do it again next yearDate of review: February 7, 2005
In short: Challenging but great fun for a beginner. Now a convert to multi-terrain. Date of review: February 7, 2005
In short: Great race - shame about the poor water supply at the finishIn full: A lovely, if not rather muddy, course. Loads of hills and more stiles than could count!Date of review: February 7, 2005
In short: Super course if you know what to expect and wear the right shoesDate of review: February 6, 2005
In short: Dangerous race, many fell over due to very muddy conditions and narrow pathwaysIn full: Having only ever done the Kenilworth half Marathon last October, I was ready for this. However as a pre-Marathon run I found the course dishearting not due to the difficulty of it but the sheer madness of anyone wanting to enter this race. Narrow runways led to people slipping over on many occasions and many straight paths / slight slopes were un-runable.The course should be down as a heavy mucky cross country run with a few roads on the way. Anyone finishing without falling over did well.Date of review: February 6, 2005
In short: thoroughly enjoyable excellent marshallsDate of review: February 6, 2005

Vanessa Lowe from NCUA's Office of Small Credit Union Initiatives smiles while conducting a training at the Small Credit Union Workshop.
|Montana Senator Jon Tester dropped by the Small Credit Union Workshop and commend credit unions for the work they do for Montana's towns and people.
|Valley FCU President Mike Silvers gestures while making a point during his training on Meeting Members' Needs.
More than 78 people from 23 Montana Credit Unions recently spent three days in Helena at the fabulous Fall Forum, hosted by the Montana Credit Union Network.
The forum was a lovely mixture of networking, visiting and eating, and learning from a healthy list of knowledgeable and inspiring speakers. A few include Susan Fletcher, a psychologist, author, and speaker; Josh Allison, a passionate public speaker about relationship management and credit union philosophy; and Mike Silvers, president and CEO of Valley Federal Credit Union.
Fletcher said being a member of a credit union is about being in a relationship. She spoke about likeability and ways that managers, co-workers and board members can show they are supportive, kind, and willing to work cohesively even when personalities may clash.
Allison described credit unions as umbrellas that protect members as he spoke about how credit unions are digging down to their roots to utilize their historical and organizational uniqueness in the financial services industry.
Silvers gave a dynamic presentation about how to hire better employees, improve member services while increasing non-interest income and generating more loans.
Many attended the open house at the Montana Credit Union Network office the first night and a ghost tour fundraiser after the networking dinner the second night. The ghost tour was a big hit and those who attended heard a long list of spooky tales and hauntings from Ellen Baumler, known as Helena's queen of history and officially the interpretive historian at the Montana Historical Society. The event raised more than $2,000 for the Montana Credit Unions for Community Development.
The morning before the Fall Forum officially kicked off Vanessa Lowe, a community development specialist for the National Credit Union Administration, offered deep explanations at the Small Credit Union Workshop.
Lowe provides operational and strategic consulting services to help small credit unions thrive and serve their members effectively.
Right after a short break, Senator Jon Tester made a special appearance. Senator Tester stopped in after he reached out to Montana Credit Union Network President/CEO Tracie Kenyon asking if he could pay us a visit, which she immediately welcomed.
"Senator Jon Tester is a great friend of credit unions, cooperative businesses, and rural America," stated Kenyon. "He shares our people helping people values and understands the role that small, locally-operated businesses like credit unions hold in their communities."
Tester commended the group of small credit union representatives for their great communication skills and collaboration to make positive changes to the cooperative credit world.
"We can do some real positive things making sure the changes have real common sense," he said. Tester noted that this election will be close.
"Your support is critically important to me," he said. "We are grounded in rural America. Washington D.C. is a wonderful place, but it doesn't hold a candle to what we have here."
The Fall Forum always provides the credit union family a chance to learn together, network, and problem solve so mark your 2013 calendars for next year's event in Billings (October 22-24).

Sorry Folks...
The Volly Meeting tomorrow (Sun 5th) will have to be postponed since the cafe refurbishment has taken considerably longer than expected and it has to be the forest's priority to get the place up and running again as soon as possible. Every day the cafe is closed we lose money, and the less money we have the less cool shit we can do (cos then we struggle with bills, etc, NOT because cool shit intrinsically costs money)!
Anyhoo, I'm waffling. It's been a loooooong day/week.
Once we're back up and running I reckon we can get more people to the meeting as well, so doubly good. I will send out another post regarding this (new date, etc) once we're properly back on our feet.
In place of the meeting tomorrow, if any of you have even half an hour to spare tomorrow evening to help clean and tidy the place ready for reopening on Monday PLEASE PLEASE come along. It would really help make finishing up a lot easier for those who have been at the forest pretty much solidly since last Sunday workin their butts off to make the place nice. Plus, it's fun. And we can all stand about at the end of it and pat ourselves and each other on the back and appreciate how beautiful it all is! Yay!
Hope to see you tomorrow then, though not for the meeting.

(908) 527- 1166
TRENTON, N.J. - The County of Mercer has teamed up with UCEDC, a statewide small business lender and training provider, to offer an intensive six-week workshop for start-up businesses -- those in the idea/planning phase or in operation less than a year. The next session of Entrepreneurship 101 will run from July 23 through Aug. 27 at the Mercer County Connection, Route 33 at Paxson Avenue, in the Acme Shopping Center, Hamilton.
Participants will be guided through a real-world assessment of their business idea and market feasibility as well as their own ability to handle the demands of business ownership. The steps to opening a business in New Jersey, choosing a legal structure, developing a business plan and establishing cost, revenue and cash flow projections will be addressed in a variety of interactive exercises.
"Being a business owner is hard work and this workshop is equally demanding," said Erich Peter, UCEDC Director of Training. "But we're going to work with you both in and outside of the classroom to make sure that the class material is relevant to your specific needs. And, we stick with our graduates for 12 months, providing mentoring and counseling services."
Entrepreneurship 101 is a component of UCEDC's Entrepreneurial Training Initiative, an ongoing small-business training effort, offered in partnership with the New Jersey Economic Development Authority. Sessions for start-ups and established businesses are held throughout the state.
Registration is now open for Entrepreneurship 101. The program has a fee of $112 with a full reimbursement upon the completion of the six-week course. Complete information can be found on the UCEDC website at www.ucedc.com or by calling 908-527-1166.

Good league to join! Mention my name, Big Lu (Lucy Muttillo) so John knows you've been referred. League info below:
Drop me a line if you need something clarified. In the meantime, either mail your $50 to me, John Wineburg, 1046 Rafter Road, Norristown, PA 19403 or PayPal cash – sorry, no credit cards – to me at email@example.com. I'll email you instructions on how to join the group when I get your entry fee.
• Pool includes all NFL games.
• Margins provided by SportsLine.
• Ties go to player with closest total points for MNF game.
Deadline: • Picks must be submitted by one hour before week's first game.
• $50 entry fee.
The object of the Sunday Rumblers is to accumulate as many points as possible by correctly picking the winning team in each of the games played during the regular season.
Each of your wins will count as one point and the player finishing with the highest season total wins the group.
Please remember that with point spreads involved, picking the winning team may not result in a correct selection. If the team you select is favored by 10 points, they must win by at least 11 points for your pick to be accurate.
The deadline to submit your final picks is ONE HOUR before the start of the first game of the week. For almost all weeks, this will be 12 p.m. ET on Sunday, but will change if there are Thursday or Saturday games.
A point spread is the predicted scoring difference between a game's two opponents. If you choose the team that is favored, they must win by more than the spread number in order for you to get credit for a correct pick. If you choose the underdog team, they must lose by less than the spread number in order for you to get credit for the correct pick.
The Sunday Rumblers use the point spreads provided by SportsLine. These spreads will be updated each day. Unless there are Thursday games, Thursday's lines will serve as the game's official spread. In weeks with Thursday games, Wednesday's line will be the official spread.
In any week where two or more players finish with the same number of points, the Rumbler closest to the total points for Monday night's game will be declared the weekly winner. If a tie still exists, those Rumblers will equally split the $75 weekly prize.
Season-ending ties, as always, will equally split prizes.
•Each weekly winner will get $75.
•The Rumbler with the most weekly scores at or above 50% will get a $300 bonus at season's end. Ties share.
•The Rumbler with the highest single-week score of the season will get a $200 bonus at season's end. If two or more Rumblers are tied, the Rumbler with the highest percentage correct in his high week will win. [So if one Rumbler scores 13 in a 16-game week, he'll lose the tiebreaker to the Rumbler that scores 13 in a 14-game week, capisce?] If there is still a tie, however, the prize will be split equally.
•Payouts for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place will come from the remaining pot and be 70/20/10 with ties sharing

Skip to comments.Pet Food Recall: Vet poison control center suspects other toxins involved
Posted on 03/28/2007 1:49:48 PM PDT by sweetiepiezer
Weve seen reports coming in from all around the country that animals that were eating the contaminated foods are definitely suffering from renal failure, said Dr. Steven Hansen, veterinary toxicologist and senior vice president with the ASPCA, who manages the ASPCAs Midwest Office, including the APCC. But the data that weve been collecting do not conclusively prove this connection, which is why we strongly recommend that those involved in the investigation continue to search for additional contaminants.
(Excerpt) Read more at petconnection.com ...
You know the thing is..... it's bad to lose a pet. But how many years are we from something major like this happening in our own food supply?
Stuff came from china, china does not care about dogs. God only knows what they put in the stuff.
You know I'm not big on conspiracy theories, but it makes you wonder. What if......
I think it's a PETA plot!
I'm sure they complain when they're under- or over-cooked.
Hopefully it won't turn up in the dried food. :(
I've been using Nutro Dry.
I am so sorry. I can imagine how heartbroken you must be. This company was criminally careless in not thoroughly testing thie NEW SUPPLIER'S product BEFORE including in the food and selling it. That Chinese supplier and the manufacturer should be barred from the American market in perpetuity. I'd be looking around for a lawyer, preferably junkyard dog type lawyer, if you will pardon my pun. I feed my beloved Yorkie a special Yorkie food made by Royal Canin that is superb. Thank heavens they have nothing to do with Menu.
The trouble with toxicology, or any analysis, is that often when there are low concentrations involved, someone has to be looking for suspected compounds. Many have different analytical protocols and separation parameters. One cannot just squirt a sample into a GC MassSpec or do FTIR and have everything answered.
Just as an example, when kidney failure is mentioned, people might look for oxalic acid or glycols, and completely miss an inorganic nephrotoxin such as antimony.
It is possible everything about this incident may never be known completely.
After thinking about it I agree, what if it was planned, but I also don't think the dogfood industry is monolithic enough for that to work. Probably someone trying to get "discount" ingredients or mixing machine usage without proper cleaning, or atleast that's gonna be the official story..... But we'll know better won't we? ;o)
There were rumors last week. Then I didn't hear any more about it. I know Bil Jac is not part of the recall at all. I started mine on that when this started.
Hmmmm, sounds like PETA to me, don't they kill animals pretending to care for them?
We'll probably never know the truth. The companies are going to scramble to avoid the class action suit that's probably coming.
I'm surpised at how little mention of China's part in this has gotten in the news. We certainly wouldn't want to screw up a good deal even if it kills us.
Wheat gluten is used in people food too.
So very sorry about your loss.
Mine died 12-27 but the dumb vets here didn't know what it was. There were no blood tests done so I can't be sure what the problem was. He did have Cushings Disease and was elderly but went downhill in 24 hours.
What I would like to know from everyone what IS THE BEST dogfood {DRY} out there. One that we can be sure does not use wheat from China etc. I know some of the big ones have had problems over the years even with dry food getting mold.
"This is a terrorist practice run."
This is exactly what I thought. As far as I know there is still no knowledge of how the poison got into the mix.
Wheat gluten
Rats would surely be resident in facilities that process this from the grain......seems like rat poison (probably strychnine) would also be present, since they easily learn to avoid traps.
Wheat gluten is mostly an asian product, it appears:
This whole thing was handled so wrong. I order this food online and know that the company I bought from knew I had the recalled products......and the waited over 3 weeks to contact me. Now they are calling and emailing (afraid of lawsuits?) Luckily, I read FR and saw the report and went to the website to check. I now make their food myself. No more bought foods, no matter how expensive and 'wholesome'.
I think any chemist on here would be disgusted, embarrassed, and ashamed to ever make a statement to the effect,
"We have no idea how to run an analysis, because even though the sample preparation protocols are published all over the Web and available in minutes to a Google search performed by a Mongoloid Idiot, the most basic primary step in an analysis is just so far beyond us that we are helpless. We have no clue where to begin, because we did not particulary like Analtyic Chem - it was so tedious, and interfered with our drinking.
We were able to land these jobs, somehow, and now, it's all going to fall down."
I am ashamed to have majored in Chemistry. It just HAS to be the renormed SAT scores, it must be.....
Thank you for your concern.
Found this interesting blog where people were losing their pets before they did the testing.
It is very sad for all concerned.
Thank you kimmer.
To think I was treating him royally and here it was rat poison, unreal to me.
"What I would like to know from everyone what IS THE BEST dogfood {DRY} out there."
This is simply the best dry manufactured. - shipped direct from mfg.
You must keep unused pouches frozen - no preservatives.
For the best diet period - BARF your animal. http://www.barfworld.com/
Rocket fuel ... http://www.greentripe.com/
I find most "pet" owners too cheap to take total responsibility for their animals well being - this stuff is pricy compared to the junk most animals are fed.
Do you really love your animal or is it just a fashion statement?
Here is a link to a pic of my 10 1/2 year old GSD who had been on these 3 items most of his life. http://www.mysafetyofprincipal.com/ according to his vet @ 116 lbs he was the equivalent of a 110 year old human at this time.
I'm so sorry to hear that.
On the advice of our breeder, we switched our dogs from Nutro over to Abady seven years ago, thank goodness. It seems that feeding a BARF (raw food) diet may not be such a bad idea either.
What a sad, sad thing this has been for so many people and their beloved pets.
We have a cat who was throwing up blood several months ago ...we could find nothing wrong with her ....she seems better now ...how would I know if it was related to her food?
Yeah, you'd think since pet food manufacturers can figure out how to manage the "sticky, gummy" problem, chemists working in toxicology labs would be able to as well.
Were you feeding the cat any of the recalled foods.
The vomitting and blood is one of the symptoms.
go to http://www.petconnection.com/ and there on the blogs it tell you what all the symptoms are.
Even if the dog or cat gets bad breath, blood in stool, excess water drinking, etc.
Gee, you want to get wet flour into solution, hey, how about adding more solution.
What did he spend his degree on, making meth?
Thanks for all the info. I'm going to check it out.
I have a regular size freezer and keep it pretty full since I live in a small town.
Your dog is beautiful!
BTW, we signed on to FR on the same day. Small world. :)
American companies have such a burden on producing products but testing on the consumer seems to be the government position with imports from abroad.
Half to admit the same thought has crossed my mind.
I'm still wondering how the salmonella got into the Peter Pan peanut butter. What ever became of that?
Here's my theory.
It was deliberate.
Why kill cats and dogs?
As a test to see how difficult it would be to drop poisons into a food processing plant to kill people. If they can accomplish it with animals, then people won't be as difficult.
Thank you.
Ya think they would stop the outsourcing even then?
Good point.
"tinfoil hat on: This is a terrorist practice run. It they succeed in contaminating pet food, then they will go for people food. :tinfoil hat"
Those were my exact thoughts when recall came out, but everyone I talked to said, Oh you would think that.
Thanks for not leaving me out there by myself.
In early January, both my Manx cat and Siberian Husky began drinking more water than usual and were lethargic. The Manx started urinating in places other than his litter box. He's never done that before. Alyeska, the Husky, was dropping huge chunks of fur and vomiting. She does that shedding every spring, but never in January. I took them to our wonderful vet. After some blood work and urinalysis, she said, "Whatever you are feeding them, stop right now." I changed their diet to dry food and table scraps (they love that} and are fine now.
What were you feeding them?
Iams and Eukanuba.
Now that I think about, I believe our vet was suspicious of certain foods even then. Living where we do, we have few neighbors, but those we do have reported similar problems. Our nearest neighbor lost her Yorkie to a mountain lion last month and her kitty to renal failure. Our other neighbor to the west lost a yearling colt to a mountain lion a couple of weeks ago. Actually, we are more worried about the increasing lion problem.
This was from Feb. 16 in USA Today, and I haven't heard anything more about the peanut butter salmonella contamination. Has anyone heard any follow-ups about this investiagation?
"For the first time in U.S. history, salmonella has been linked to peanut butter, according to the CDC.
By Elizabeth Weise, USA TODAY
The source of a dangerous salmonella outbreak took six months to track down in part because the culprit peanut butter took health officials by surprise.
The outbreak has sickened at least 290 people in 39 states since August. It took until this week to identify the source because peanut butter has only once before been linked to the life-threatening disease, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says.
ON DEADLINE: Information from the FDA, ConAgra
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced Wednesday night that jars of Peter Pan and Wal-Mart's Great Value brand peanut butter beginning with the product code "2111" on the lid of the jar could be contaminated with the strain Salmonella Tennessee.
This variety of salmonella is so rare that the CDC normally sees only about 100 cases a year, says Robert Tauxe, chief of the CDC's Foodborne and Diarrheal Diseases Branch."
I am glad yours got better.
Three weeks ago, I let Scott take Little Bit, to a family he works with, they said it was a match made in heaven.
A few days later, her eyes were glazed and she died.
None of the other cats here are sick.
I have no idea what food they fed her, but when she was with me, she ate all that I did and cat food.
Sorry to hear about "Little Bit". What I find interesting is that my last cat, a little calico, was named "Little Bit".
Little Bit was one I raised by hand, after NO NO abandoned her, as she does with every litter.
It made me sad, as her new family loved her.
So goes life, we miss them, when they leave us.
Do you know where I could find a list of the recalled foods?
Here is where you can find them.
Be sure to click on the names of the pet foods for upc numbers.
"There were rumors last week. Then I didn't hear any more about it. I know Bil Jac is not part of the recall at all. I started mine on that when this started."
There were rumors?? I didn't know that. Were you feeding yours Nutro Dry before you switched? I don't know what to do. My dog seems perfectly fine though.
