Thomas Vermaelen believes Arsenal had the chances to at least avoid defeat at Manchester City on Sunday.
David Silva scored the only goal of the game in the second half to claim all three points for Roberto Mancini's side, who remain at the top of the Premier League.
But Vermaelen twice went close himself near the end and insists the match could have gone either way.
"I think Man City played a good game to be honest and after all they got the three points," Vermaelen told Arsenal Player.
"They had a few chances but I felt we could have scored as well. It doesn't matter how much possession of the ball you have, it's about the three points.
"I always had the belief we could score and you could see that at the end with the chances. But importantly we couldn't score today.
"I think what you can say is that we worked hard today and you cannot blame the team because we gave 100 per cent. We wanted to win this game but they scored and we couldn't, so they had the three points."
You can watch the full interview with Thomas on Arsenal Player now.

Score another one for the Arblogger
As noted previously, FOIA and conservative activist Chetly "Chet" Zarko passed away suddenly, see, e.g., Publius' Forum, 7/20/10, Chet Zarko, RIP.
We didn't agree on everything (e.g., affirmative action), but we did agree that government could get secretive and out of control at times. He was a valuable source of information about Freedom of Information Act issues to many people all over the political spectrum. (See, e.g., Mackinac Center, Chetly Zarko, RIP: Tributes From Mackinac Center Staff, for more about his past and more recent FOIA exploits)
Once, at a U.of Mich. Regents' meeting where he (and I) were scheduled as public commenters, he didn't show up, so that I myself spoke in support of the topic he was going to speak for! (About not having the campus police harass the homeless too much when the homeless visited campus lounges, as I remember)
RIP CZ. Hopefully in Heaven the government is run right, for a change.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by LA Dre, Mar 11, 2008.
The Hawks gave the Rockets all they handle before pulling it out. 21 anyone?
McGrady predicted the win against Atlanta. Since the Hawks have had their number recently, delivering on this prediction will help the team build confidence against the looming stronger teams........Lakers Record anyone ?
Your consistent POV is impressive, or the win streak? I'm tired of getting beat up for the luck comment by you and Ladies Coach. There is an element of luck, good fortune, divine providence, karma, what-have-you, and obviously the undermanned Rockets would not be pulling off a streak this impressive without that intangible element being in their favor. Good teams once in a generation pull of a streak like this. Not Cookie Monster and T-Choke. Leave it to the statman to argue for averages.
yall know i used to live in Houston and all you have to do is REALLY THINK about it: 21 WINS IN A ROW!!!?? THATS KRAZEE...but I cant think of a better city for it: I MISS Houston! and the women?// U CAN trust a big butt and a smile. LOL
That is priceless!
21 in a row is nothing to sneeze at, however, the New England Patriots proved to us - it doesn`t matter how many reg season wins you get in a row, can you bring it all home???
Pistons proved that, too, a couple seasons ago.
21 in a row is a NBA media feel good story. Enough to move games around the schedule on ABC to see if they can bring in more of the curious and up the ratings. Kobe vs[STRIKE] Yaoless [/STRIKE] T-Mac ... Battle for # 1 in the conference as both teams will enter the game with identical 45-20 records Oh yeah, once again the Pistons have been relegated to the JV/consolation game with the Hornets who by the way are just a half game by the Rockets/Lakers at 44-20.
Still confidence is a good thing, Zoo. We've all been waiting and knowing this could happen. T-mac getting his with a little help now. Whatever happens it's going to be devastating.
Millen used to say that about Shaun Rogers !!
A+ stuff Nemo. Brilliant!
Being out here in Montana, I learned that a "stable relationship" can also happen inside the barn. It's a shame that Rogers couldn't live up to his potential and enjoy a stable relationship with the Lions.
Since I didn`t get the Pistons game, I watched all of the Rockets/Lakers game on ABC. I don`t think the Rockets are going to take the west, but they are fun to watch right now. You get caught up in what they are doing and find yourself rooting for them. They are playing hard, and surprisingly are right there with the Pistons and Spurs, playing the best defense in the league. If this streak gets to 25-26 games will they throw Adelmans` name out there for Coach of the Year?
I particularly enjoyed seeing Battier with his hand right in Kobe's face on a number of shots. I'd like to see him in a Piston uni one of these years.
Best fan signs at the Lakers-Rockets game: "T-Mac for President" and right beside it, "Kobe for Governor of New York." Off the hook!
15 point halftime lead without T-Mac scoring a point. Talk about no name team effort. Who was the star of the day Jarvis Hayes' 29 pts on seven 3's or Rafer Alston's 31 pts and eight 3's?, and which team needed those 3's the most??
Yall hear that rumble last night around 8PMEST??? That was the 'bigbutts' bumpin in H-town! 22 and counting!!! AH-ah-ahhh! Seriously, take your next vacation to Houston around Rodeo time. Oh...my...God! Blue jean heaven....mmm sigh
The streak is over and Susan Lucci wins!!! You know what mean... The Boston D took over this game right before the half and shot the Rockets down after that. Tmac dished out 8 assists, but they held him to 11 shots so he only scored 8 pts. They beat the Lakers the other night, but the next three games at New Orleans, Golden State and Phoenix could take them from first to sixth and before you know it the streak is all but forgotten..... hey where da big butt women at?
Damn Dre, They lose one game and you callin' out da Big Butt Women? I see potential for victory against GS, Phoenix, and NOLA.

CSCO: Bulls Cheer Stability in a Gloomy Neighborhood
Shares of Cisco Systems (CSCO) today closed up $2.68, or almost 13%, at $23.89, and went as high as $24.24, following better-than-expected fiscal Q3 revenue and profit per share last night, and a more-or-less in-line outlook for revenue.
Analysts are impressed with the company's ability to hang onto gross margin, and the ability to beat, if only slightly, in a market that has seen multiple warnings of late from competitors struggling to deliver.
Many today were also heartened by the company raising its quarterly dividend payout by 21% in the quarter, and by comments by CEO John Chambers on last night's conference call to the effect that he is listening to what large investors in the stock have to say.
The results stand in contrast to worse-than-expected fiscal Q3 results this afternoon from Aruba Networks (ARUN), and a worse-than-expected Q4 outlook from that company.
Simon Leopold, Raymond James: Reiterates an Outperform rating and raises his price target a buck to $26. "Expectations were low ahead of this report, so upside to April along with q/q growth in July in line with consensus comes as good news. N. American enterprises excluding federal sound better and 10% q/q router growth reflects carrier spending. The biggest surprise vs. our segment model came from a 6% q/q rise in service provider video.
The strong gross margin won't dissuade the long term worry about the threat from SDN (we are less worried than most and think Cisco is engaged in this evolution), but it highlights a more software centric and disciplined model than the Cisco bears appreciate [...] Continued improvements in manufacturing efficiencies, a better mix (sequential declines in lower margin Data Center sales), and continued revenue contribution from the higher margin recent software acquisitions (near 80%) all drove upside to margins relative to our estimate."
Mark Sue, RBC Capital: Reiterates an Outperform rating, and raises his price target a dollar to $25. Sue trims his 2013 revenue estimate to $48.58 billion, while maintaining a $2.02 EPS estimate for the year. "Cisco's results show another positive turn in its business with improving execution, better margins and higher FCF generation [...] Cisco is diligently managing its gross margins with a focus on profitability vs. top-line growth and we're seeing better discipline on pricing. Gross margins of 63.0% were above the 61% to 62% outlook and F2Q13 levels of 62.3% [...] UCS and Nexus (2k, 5k, 7k) combined grew +35% YoY at a $5.5B run-rate, while Wireless increased +27% YoY with Service Provider Wi-Fi up +100% YoY, growing faster than Aruba's +10% YoY and Ruckus Wireless' (RKUS) +27% YoY."
Jess Lubert, Wells Fargo: Reiterates an Outperform rating, and raises his "valuation range" from $23 to $24 to $24 to $26. Lubert sticks with this year's revenue projection of $48.6 billion, while raising his EPS estimate a penny to $2.01. "There were a number of positive developments in the quarter, as order
trends improved across customer segments and geographies, and Cisco appeared to gain share in a number of key markets. Margins were also better than expected due to a combination of mix and expense discipline. While Cisco's FQ4 sales outlook was slightly below consensus (EPS was in line), strengthening trends in the US, signs of stabilization in Europe and improved momentum in several emerging markets lead us to view the outlook as conservative and present a reason for optimism approaching the second half of CY2013."
Simona Jankowski, Goldman Sachs: Reiterates a Buy rating and raises her price target to $28 from $25. Jankowski leaves her estimates mostly in tact, oprojecting $48.77 billion in revenue this year and $2.01 per share versus a prior $48.67 billion and $2.01. "We believe this quarter will go a long way in catalyzing the re-rating process for Cisco stock. Multiple expansion is a key part of our thesis, as Cisco trades at a 30%+ discount to the S&P500 despite similar growth and better balance sheet and dividend yield characteristics. We believe this discount has developed as a function of Cisco being lumped in with other large-cap tech companies that are viewed as being technologically disrupted by trends in cloud computing and mobility. In Cisco's case specifically, the secular concerns over its future have been magnified by the recent hype around software-defined networking (SDN) [...] Cisco is out-growing its large-cap IT peers by about 9%, yet it is receiving the same "broken tech" multiple. With the significant divergence in performance evident this quarter, we expect the market will begin rewarding Cisco for its outsized growth."
Stuart Jeffrey, Nomura Equity Research: Reiterates a Buy rating and raised his price target to $26.50 from $25. He cut his estimate for this fiscal year to $48.81 billion and $2.02 per share from a prior $48.99 billion and $2.04, and trims next year to $52.2 billion and $2.23 from $52.72 billion and $2.28 to reflect macroeconomic outlook and less in the way of buybacks. "While many rivals missed and guided down in their recent earnings reports, Cisco hit expectations and guided in-line with consensus. We believe that this is largely due to sustained share gains and strong sales execution; both factors that we believe are sustainable for some time yet [...] Cash distributions could be increasingly weighted towards dividends rather than share buy backs."
Michael Genovese, MKM Parnters: Reiterates a Buy rating and raises his price target to $28 from $25. Genovese raised this year's estimates to $48.59 billion and $2.01 per share from a prior $48.36 billion and $1.98 per share. "Importantly, the year-over-year product order growth rate accelerated to 4% in the April quarter, from 0% in January, marking the first positive change in this key metric in six quarters. The product order rate meaningfully improved in most geographies, with APJC the only exception and it was only a slight down tick there. Switching and Routing sales remain flattish but Cisco is putting up strong growth in Datacenter, Wireless LAN and Service Provider Wi-Fi and
Video. We expect the stock's multiple to expand as orders likely continue to improve, and the company keeps returning cash ($1.8bn returned via dividend and buy backs in 3QFY13)."
Scott Thompson, FBR Capital Markets: Reiterates a Market Perform rating, and a $19 price target. Thompson trims his 2013 estimate to $8.64 billion from $48.74 billion in revenue, while raising his EPS estimate to $2.01 from $1.98. "Cisco Systems investors may have finally received the performance they needed to see shares move higher [...] Over the next four to eight weeks, we see several catalysts that could move shares higher: New product announcements (Inseime and others), announcements of carrier SDN wins, and the scheduled analyst day at CiscoLive! (6/23 to 6/27) could all be positive for shares. However, we continue to believe that Cisco is likely to struggle through significant longer-term headwinds over the next 18 to 36 months as networking continues to become increasingly disaggregated from the compute process. Our calculations show that, if Cisco is able to execute against its lofty $12B software revenue target (without a significant acquisition) over the next 2.5 to 4.5 years, it could offset as much as a 30%–40% decline in Cisco's net new core routing, switching, and specific-purpose hardware businesses. Our checks indicate that the decline, particularly in the service provider and large enterprise verticals, could be more severe than Cisco's software revenue target will be able to offset."
Ryan Hutchinson, Lazard Capital Markets: reiterates a Neutral rating. Hutchinson trimmed his 2013 revenue estimates to $48.57 billion in revenue from $48.65 billion, while raising his EPS view a penny to $2. "With what has been a tough start to the year for the broader networking group, we think it is evident that continued execution and improved operational efficiencies
have allowed Cisco to navigate through a challenging macro environment. That said, we remain NEUTRAL as we look for sustainable long-term demand/pricing trends."
Rod Hall, J.P. Morgan: Reiterates an Underweight rating, and an $18 price target. Hall raised his 2013 estimates to $48.52 billion and $1.99 per share from a prior $48.48 billion and $1.97. "The FQ3 earnings report from Cisco challenges our negative enterprise spending thesis point for the stock. At the same time execution at the company continues to be exceptional. Given the weak Q1 enterprise reporting season the question now is whether the numbers are mainly due to solid execution from Cisco or improving macro trends. The company's cautious revenue guidance for FQ4 muddies the water further. We stick with our negative stance on the stock based on weak macro and SDN but believe this earnings report forces us back to the drawing board on the enterprise environment."

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by mikhail1973, Jan 30, 2013.
Just go with Stuckey......kinda fits the tank collision theme.
Wow, looks like we got a pretty good point guard.
Pretty good? 19.37 PER Top 10 in assists. #1 in ASS/TOV He is great point guard, even at his age. This is closest to Steve Nash we will get. But his defense is just awful. Expect to see a lot more Drummond with this guy around - could be why Frank gave him an extended run yesterday. To see how he can hold up.
It's not for lack of effort though. He's a very hardworking player. He can be helped with a better scheme.
Wow, Calderon was very emotional. I can't wait to see him wearing a Pistons uni.
I didn't realize that Ed Davis was part of the trade until I watched the game tonight. Toronto got hosed in this. I feel like the Grizz did exceptionally well in a force trade scenario and the Pistons did something that was essential to putting us back on track to pounce in the next 3 years. How does TOR give us one of the most efficient vet PG's and a starting big man for Gay? Not sure what they are thinking. Trading with Hollinger is like playing chess against the computer.
He is very emotional and extremely intense player...I really hope he brings some of that to the Pistons who usually seem way too lackadazical(sp?)
Pretty sure Davis is going to Memphis.
He is. That's why I think that Memphis did really well. I thought initially they were only getting Tay and Daye.
A friend of mine, upon hearing about Hollinger going to Memphis, said that they would trade Gay very soon after that. At the time, Memphis was crushing opponents left and right, and despite Pera taking over, I thought that he would be wrong. Turns out he was spot on. Memphis absolutely won in this trade. Dominated it. Prince is a good defender still (better than Gay), and is pretty damn efficient. They got rid of a bad fit player (extremely talented though). I actually think Daye will thrive in Memphis too. Hollinger will ensure that they are running corner 3 after corner 3 for the guy. Prince is also good from the corners. Ed Davis is also doing very well and will provide great minutes off the bench. Toronto got pumped. We gave up a great SF, despite his slow decline, and a good 3pt shooter/prospect. In Calderon we did extremely well. I hope to see him playing at least 25mpg. Anything less and Frank deserves to be fired because he is no longer playing to win. Jose actually gives us a decent shot at sneaking into the playoffs. Him, Drum and Monroe will absolutely mesh and create quite a scary trio. He also gives us a really good shooter who might be able to spur production in the 4th, where we so desperately need it.
Bynum better start practicing his lobs to Maxiell in practice.
Well, I'm glad to get Tay's contract off the books, point-blank-period. That said, I feel like we got HOSED! I think Gay should've been a Piston. It's essentially a Tayshaun Prince for Rudy Gay deal with fillers (Calderon and Daye) and a sweetener (Davis), but at the core this is Tay for Gay-PERIOD and we should have been the one who landed a 20 ppg SF in the deal. But it appears that Joe is FINALLY conceding that it's time to start over, freed up $7M More dollars in cap space, that can be spread over two years. We'll Have $25M this summer, $33M if we amnesty BoT and $37M if we cut Rodney. We should be targeting Josh Smith and going after him HARD!
There is nothing like a good three way to get you back in the forum mood.
welcome back lady
KG, I am happy we didn't get Gay. He's not worth his contract. We want the cap space.
We didn't get hosed. We get to test drive the pointiest point guard for the rest of the season and then we get the flexibility to add that star player you're looking for. Hollinger's own model shows us picking up 3 wins due to the dynamics of his, and that is probably understated because we are desperately in need of his specific skill set. Testing Calderon not only gives us a look at him, but it gives us a look at everybody else on the roster- how they perform with a real facilitator. We'll know if BK can be a SG. We'll see how Drummond survives against starters when he's getting great setups. We'll see how good of a coach Frank is (can he utilize Calderon and Monroe's passing by implementing a complex offense). If nothing else, it should make the games a little more tolerable to watch. This is entertainment after all. Not much is entertaining about watching Prince. And while I found some enjoyment in watching Daye's weak sauce Euro game, I sensed that I was in a very small minority populated by bball perverts.
It's not that bad, he only has 2 years after this one and we'd still have the flexibility to pursue a 2nd top tier free agent, also, there aren't very many Free Agent targets becoming available in the next year or 2 anyway.........I acknowledge a guy like Josh Smith can really help this franchise but is he a franchise player?
With this trade I think Joe is demonstrating that he is committed to Dre, Moose and Brandon, meaning he's committed to building with guys under the age of 25 who will approach their peak when guys like LeBron and Melo start their decline. I think Joe looks at Philly, Indy, and Milw as our competition and is trying to build a team to compete with those teams.

Hi Everybody,
We received our first hive last fall, full of bees that needed to be moved. A single shanty brooder with tape around it and such, but a hive none the less. Not much was done for them over the winter as I wasn't expecting them or ready to keep bees, but they made it through to the spring, apparently strong enough to swarm twice! With a little luck, some traded boxes and borrowed frames we were able to catch both of the swarms and now have three hives ready to grow this year. We just received our last packages from Dadant and will soon be outfitting the hives with their new SBB's, covers, frames and foundation. Looking forward to all of the help here, thanks in advance for the advice.

New Rowdy Dollars express lane opens in JPL
By Tim Brownlee
Assistant Director of Public Affairs
(March 16, 2007)--UTSA dining service provider Chartwells will offer a speedier checkout option beginning Monday, March 19 in the John Peace Library Building food court on the 1604 Campus. To speed up checkout, only cash and the UTSACard will be accepted in the new Fast Track express lane.
Marked with a sign and a flashing light, the express lane will open at 11:45 a.m., Monday, and the first student to go through will win a prize.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy

According to newly hired Chartwells Marketing Director Shelly Gonzales, Fast Track was established in response to student requests. Only cash, Meal Trades and Rowdy Dollars on the UTSACard will be accepted in the special lane, while all other lanes will accept these modes of payment plus credit and debit cards.
"Because credit cards can take longer to process, it can slow down the line," said Gonzales. "Many times you might have just one or two items, and the express lane will keep the line moving. I want to thank Chartwells retail director Gregorio Gutierrez and food services director Jon Spellman for helping to set up this new service."
Meal Trades is a meal program for students, faculty and staff. An account is purchased and added to the UTSACard, which is used to redeem meals at all UTSA dining locations. To check the balance, you can call the UTSACard office at (210) 458-4639.
Rowdy Dollars is a debit declining-balance program that also uses the UTSACard. An account is activated by adding funds to the card, and purchases can be made on campus at dining services, vending machines and many other locations that accept cards. With no fees for the account and no minimum balance required, Rowdy Dollars are added to the card at the UTSACard office.
Rowdy Dollars also are accepted at the Chaparral Village laundry, student copiers, PrintSmart in the labs and libraries, UTSA bookstores, Student Health Services, Campus Recreation, Testing Services, University Center information desk, University Center Copy Express and for rent payments at University Oaks apartments and the Chisholm Hall student residence.
For more information, call Shelly Gonzales at (210) 458-4209 or visit the UTSACard Web site.

What I love it more is that the camera gave it a spectator's view of the entire performance. Plus Tan & Ben kept quiet just before the "Phantom Lift".
Interesting thing is that in the end, I was able to see Tessa & Scott drinking water and chatting in the background before the end of the performance.
Season's best, better than Tessa and Scott's previous PB.. this is getting interesting
Marvellous D/W! I have no words to describe how awsome they are.
223.03 for Merlie... what will Tessa & Scott will do?!
LOL, Meryl even left her blood on the ice. What more could they have done?
Wowwowwowwow at that score!
(BTW, Charlie White is so adorable! :P)
Let's see how Tessa and Scott skate, following that. (And I love Tessa's dress...)
I think V&M were a bit better. But just a bit.
Tessa and Scott....beautiful as well. But, he did have a (slight) mistake....we will see what happens here.
Scott blew the first twizzle set
Bobble on the twizzles from V&M.
If D/W win, will they be the first Americans ever?
And I thought they were fantastic!
M/D were really good but thought their twizzles may have been slightly off, would have to catch again. V/M were wonderful, classic elegance.


text: I'm not sure if Kim Zolciak thinks that if things get too bad if she can call Big Poppa for some cash but I heard she already owes him money so that might not work out so well. Radar is reporting that Kim and her husband have been hit with tax liens totaling $12K. In the whole scheme of things it is not a lot of money, but that is what is worrisome. If you bought a house for almost $1M and sunk another $1M into renovations and took out a line of credit of $300K to finish the renovations and don't have $12K to pay the tax man then you probably don't have much money. Maybe Kim thinks Kroy Biermann will keep playing forever and they can make up all their losses on his next contract. Maybe. There is also a chance he gets hurt again next season and never plays again and doesn't make much more money as an NFL player. Then what is he going to do? Oh, I'm sure he can get a real job. I think he might even make six figures in that job but it probably won't be NFL type money and it sure won't be enough to pay back the massive loans they have taken out or to pay their monthly expenses. Even if Kim lands a couple of seasons of a reality show. Lets be generous and give her five more years on reality television. With her expenses she will be paying off her bills fine but won't be saving anything. Within five years they will have to sell off their house and be living in a much smaller place and Kroy will be working two jobs while Kim will be traveling to any place that can give her a check while she tries to find someone who has a more consistent level of very high income.


text: I need to add a frame with newly laid eggs from one hive into one that does not have a queen. From what I've read on here, you need to add the nurse bees also. My question is, the one hive won't harm the nurse bees if they've come from another hive? Thank you to everyone on here who responds to all of us new beekeepers with lots of questions. Everyone is so helpful with all there information. It nice to know that the experienced beekeepers are willing to help all of us out. Thanks again

And if anyone wants to wear a costume, that is cool- I guess so long as the exhibit allows it. I'll be in a TDH shirt and ummm, I'm a brunette now too

Paul's electability is a myth. He can't even win a single fricking primary. He's never won a single primary. Say that to yourself. A guy who can't win a single primary in his own party is supposed to defeat a sitting president of middling popularity?
please. the MSM is the reason that romney and the rest are in contention. morons will vote the way their masters tell them to vote.
Again, no in depth analysis is necessary here. Paul has never won a single primary state. Keep saying that to yourself. He's obviously missing something that winning candidates possess.
Sure, Obama will begin to float more left as election day approaches, but his record isn't that different from bushie's. Horrible. But I can't expect voters raised to believe that the MSM is the truth to see that.
Alas. More ever encroaching statism is ahead, no matter where we turn.
Every other candidate has won at least two primaries. He has none. The media can't be entirely responsible for that.
Bull shite. The main stream media controls so much of the voting populace's minds it's insane. Until the voters that rely on the MSM die off, we won't have a chance for any real candidate that will diminish the Fed'l gov't because that hurts the bottom line of those in control.
But eventually the day will come when the citizenry wake up and realize the enemy is the Fed'l gov't, unless their plan to get enough voters on the dole to overwhelm any actual interest in freedom succeeds.
Bull shite. The main stream media controls so much of the voting populace's minds it's insane.
That is a disaster....Obama is going to smash whoever the nominee is if they only have a few months to campaign as the nominee.
The GOP needs this fight in my opinion. Romney has EVERY advantage and still cannot close this thing out. The average voter does not want him and who can blame them. Nobody trust him! If the party gets to a brokered convention and Jeb, Daniels or Christie are the nominee then 90% of the party will jump on board.
Romney, Santorum and Newt are ALL polling @ 14% with Hispanics. Obama is at 53% with women while Romney is 37%. Independents have an unfavorable overall negative view of all the GOP candidates. My point is this has become the worst campaign in memory and Obama has not even started on the nominee. The GOP is treading on a 5-8% loss and may not pick up the Senate or could even lose the House. That's how bad these candidates look to Hispanics, Women and Independents.
Paul's what we need, but Romney's what we're getting. Actually, 4 more years of Obama is what we're getting. If Romney is nominated, republicans will stay home in Droves and Obama will cruise to an easy reelection.
I'm just saying that the damage these 3 have caused may lead to the party losing all 3 branches of government. That's how bad this is getting.
Romney and Republicans are so pathetic that I'm actually pulling for Obama just to watch them all cry in November.
Let me get this straight: Republicans hate Obama and want a change and want smaller, more conservative government so they nominate Mitt Romney. Really?
But...but...he's going to attract moderates and independents like John McCain did!
Four more years of Obama might be the wake up call that America needs.

Definitely take Ahri. She is really viable IMHO. If u can hit at least 3/4 of your skills ur dmg is pretty high, because every spell, expect taunt, is AOE. Ulti is giving her really great mobility and roaming power, so she can basicallly gank 24/7 after lvl 6. But she falls of quiet well if you cant land your skills. But she is a champ with high risk-high reward and she is far better then fiora.
Fiora must be really ahead to do some decent damage after her ulti was nerfed. She has no CC which is IMHO the most important part of current meta. And her dodge isnt at much use at all. At all she isnt brining any utility to team and there are many bruisers which are doing her work better.

THE MAP OF MY DEAD PILOTS by Colleen Mondor 0
I know that the first two letters of "memoir" spell "me," but the kind of memoir I like best is one that goes beyond being simply a personal account but rather tells a larger story. The Map of My Dead Pilots by Colleen Mondor (Lyons Press, 2012) does exactly that. From 1993 to 1997 the author worked as the dispatch coordinator for an air transport company headquartered in Fairbanks, Alaska. This isn't a neatly narrated, chronological account with a clean beginning and a clear end. Rather, in lyrical, impressionistic prose she relates the stories she tells of the pilots she knew—some still living and some now dead—to the myth and the reality of Alaska. It's a story of danger, of loss, of courage of unsavory landing strips and forbidding mountains, of delivering mail and making mercy flights, of adrenaline and prayer, of unpredictably changeable winds and oncoming storms, of snow, of difficult decisions, of good fortune and bad luck, and, always, of the unbelievable cold. But it's also about why we choose the lives we do, how we rewrite our pasts to make sense of ourselves to the person we've become, what we choose to remember and how and why we forget what we do: it's about mythmaking, storytelling, and memory. Mondor says: "If I remember the stories, then I know the life I lived was true; I know it happened; I know that once upon a time this is was who we were and how we lived."

Saying California officials "divorced themselves from reality" when they recently claimed mental health care is up to par in state prisons, a Sacramento judge has ordered an immediate investigation of Salinas Valley State Prison's psychiatric unit.
U.S. District Judge Lawrence Karlton ruled late Thursday that due to the "urgency of the issues at hand," a federal special master must investigate allegations that mental health staffing levels are dangerously low in the Soledad unit, which is operated by the Department of State Hospitals.
Karlton also ordered the special master to look at the unit's practice of keeping new patients on "cuff status" — in shackles and isolation — for up to 10 working days before they can take part in regular treatment activities.
In an emailed statement Friday, the state hospitals department said it was "currently evaluating the decision by the court." It declined further comment.
The order came out of a 23-year-old federal lawsuit citing unconstitutionally poor treatment for the state's more than 30,000 mentally ill inmates, most of whom will be returning to their communities after serving their prison terms.
A special master was appointed in 1995 ensure the state was complying with judges' orders.
"Judge Karlton saw that this was an emergency and that's why he ordered the special master to immediately get out to Salinas Valley and see what's going on," said Michael Bien, attorney for various inmates.
The judge said the orders were necessary because a four-day hearing last month focusing largely on the Salinas Valley prison uncovered "significant and troubling evidence of severe staffing shortages, apparently redundant custodial policies that delay the start of necessary inpatient care and may in fact cause additional harm to class members transferred for such care, denial of basic necessities including clean underwear, failure to follow established timelines for transfer of patients to inpatient care, and perhaps premature discharges of patients from inpatient care, all of which call into question the adequacy of the inpatient care that is being provided."
Department of State Hospitals officials told the judge that their agency has never been found by the court to have provided inadequate care to inmate patients — a contention that Karlton said "misses the mark." He quoted a 2006 court finding that the department was "failing to address specific court-ordered remedies" to improve prisoners' psychiatric care.
He said the evidence showed "a continuing inability of defendants to identify and remedy on their own, without court supervision, critical staffing shortages and other impediments to constitutionally adequate mental health care."
At the hearing, state hospital officials denied claims the department failed to provide clean underwear, sheets and soap to its patients at Salinas Valley. But documents provided to The Herald show nurses and social workers there have complained that at times only half the sheets and clothing sent from the prison to be laundered at a women's prison in Chowchilla were returned to Monterey County.
This practice has created extreme shortages of clean clothes and sheets for the unit's patients, the program staffers said.
The staff members said the laundry is trucked 127 miles from Soledad to Chowchilla under a contract with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
Karlton's ruling follows months of disturbing revelations about the Soledad prison's psychiatric unit, including the suicide of a newly arrived patient last year whose treatment was delayed for weeks. According to testimony, the patient had scrawled on his cell wall, "I came here slightly depressed. Now I am severely depressed. This place is hopeless."
Then in March, patient Desmond Watkins, 36, died of water intoxication due to a mental condition that causes unquenchable thirst, months after he had been treated at a Salinas hospital for the same life-threatening condition, as first reported by The Herald.
"To a great extent what was uncovered in this trial was shocking to the judge but also to the plaintiffs," Bien said. "We did not know things were as terrible as they turned out to be."
Once the investigation of the mental health unit at Salinas Valley is conducted, the special master is ordered to follow with oversight of all of the hospital department's facilities, including a new prison hospital in Stockton that opens this month. More than 200 of Salinas Valley's 340 patients are expected to be transferred there.
The order also extends to oversight of Atascadero and Coalinga State Hospitals.
The special master has 75 days to produce a report on the Salinas Valley unit's conditions. Besides looking at staffing and cuff status concerns, Karlton directed the special master to include in his report any other matters that might require "urgent attention by the court."

Veterans Day is on November 11. It is a time to honor people who have served in the military. That is what Cody Jackson, 10, from Alpharetta, Georgia, does throughout the year. Cody visits airports to greet troops and has sent nearly 5,000 pounds of care packages to military members. He also wrote books to teach kids about patriotism, and sells the books on his website, 1boyuso.com, to pay for his package supplies.
For all his work, Cody was chosen as a 2013 Build-A-Bear Workshop Huggable Hero. The 10 Huggable Heroes chosen each received $10,000, which includes an educational scholarship, a donation to a charity of their choice and a mentorship opportunity with the Jefferson Awards for Public Service.
Cody and his mom, Kelly, talked to TFK about his project and his feelings about being honored for it.
When and why did you decide to start your projects to thank members of the military?
It was when I was four years old. I was at the airport and it was taking so long [to get through the airport] and I saw soldiers. I asked my mom and dad why it was taking us so long and they told me about 9/11 and what the soldiers did that day. [They explained the soldiers were providing extra security to help keep us safe.] That is when I started to thank the troops.
You've sent more than 4,500 pounds of care packages to soldiers. How does sending them make you feel? How do you hope your packages make the soldiers feel?
Sending them makes me feel good. I hope [the packages make] the soldiers feel at home. I hope they show [the soldiers] that they are not forgotten.
How did it feel to be selected as a Huggable Hero?
It was really exciting and it felt really good that I won that money so I could send more packages to the troops and get more things.
What can kids do to help support the troops?
They can send [care] packages and thank the troops for risking their lives. If they want to help me or if they need some information they can go to my website [[or Facebook at One Boy USO]].
USO stands for United Service Organizations. It is a group that provides programs and services to lift the spirits of the military and their families. How did you get the nickname "One Boy USO"?
Cody had been going to the airport [visiting troops] for a couple of years and always asking the USO if he could volunteer. He was 7 and 8 years old and was always told no because you have to be 18. A soldier heard this and said "don't worry about it, you're your own USO!"


text: This popped up on the local CL a couple days ago and sweet lady gave me what I feel was a pretty good deal on it. Its an attractive frame and being made out of aluminum, its feather light. Being that I'm 6'3 and its a 19 inch frame, I really only bought it for the 3speed alloy wheelset. Call me crazy, but I think I prefer the heaviness of the steel frame as well... I'll probably end up just throwing another set of wheels on and try to send her on down the line to someone in the market for a well built feather light cruise.

TFK talks to Olympian Dominique Dawes about hosting a webcast about Let's Move! Active Schools
Gymnast Dominique Dawes flipped her way into the history books when she became the first African-American gymnast to win an individual medal at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games. That year, she also picked up a gold medal as a member of the "Magnificent Seven" team. Since retiring from the sport in 2000, Dawes has devoted her time to helping people live a healthier lifestyle.
In 2010, President Obama named Dawes co-chair of the President's Council on Fitness Sports and Nutrition (PCFSN). Earlier this year, Dawes helped First Lady Michelle Obama launch the Let's Move! Active Schools campaign, a program designed to help school leaders get students moving before, during and after school. "Everyone [on PCFSN] is passionate about this cause," Dawes told TFK. "They want the nation to be healthier."
Today, Dawes is hosting in a live webcast for students and teachers on how schools can get involved in the new campaign. Through a partnership with Discovery Education, the webcast will broadcast live from Capitol Hill Montessori School, in Washington, D.C., from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00p.m. Eastern Time. It will feature a special message from PCFSN co-chair and NFL Quarterback Drew Brees and a physical activity break from Olympic gold medalist Allyson Felix. Classrooms can register for the free webcast at Discovery Education Live. A video will also be available to view after the event.
Recently, TFK caught up with Dawes to learn about her work on the PCFSN.
May is National Physical Fitness and Sports Month. What is the goal of this month?
Physical activity is important to have at the top of your mind all the time, not just for this month. We want to educate people about the importance of physical activity and make it easy to understand what physical activity looks and sounds like, and also the benefits of being active. That's why I'm so excited to take part in Discovery Communications webcast because I'm going to have an opportunity to really get kids up and moving and active and help them understand that physical activity doesn't have to be work, it can be fun.
Why should classrooms tune in to the webcast?
It's an opportunity for young people to learn from some of their sports heroes. Also, we have a chef, the First Family's personal trainer and a pediatrician [participating]. There are so many people that have dedicated their lives to helping the nation get healthier. I want more schools to sign up and be a part of this.
Can you talk about Let's Move! Active Schools?
It's really a comprehensive program that's going to help kids as well as teachers, principals, administrators and parents work together as a team to get our kids moving again. The amount of physical activity [kids should be getting] is 60 minutes a day, five days a week. This is going to be another great way that kids can get engaged and get those wonderful benefits of being physically active.
Why is it so important for kids to be active during the school day?
Kids are naturally equipped to move. Not a lot of kids can sit still [for hours], and kids are in school on average seven hours a day. So if they get out and get moving and burn some of that energy that they have all balled up in them, they will be able to focus and concentrate a lot better in the classroom. Statistics have shown that kids who are physically active or participating in competitive sports tend to do better academically, have a higher self-esteem and more self-confidence.
What is your favorite way to get active?
Jumping rope is one of my favorite activities. It's something that I did when I was training for all three of my Olympics. I traveled many times with a jump rope because I can jump rope anywhere. It's a great way to get my heart pumping, and oddly enough, exerting and using all that energy somehow gives me more energy.
I always tell parents to put your kids in a number of different sports and find out what your kid loves to do and where they might have some talent. You have to experiment with a number of different sports. But gymnastics is a beautiful sport that will help kids with whatever sport that they may choose to pursue later on in life, and it's great to help them work on their flexibility coordination and strength.
What has been the highlight of your experience as co-chair on the President's Council so far?
Hearing success stories. There have been a number of schools that have already signed up for Let's Move! Active Schools. Hearing how so many teachers, administrators and physical educators are being creative in finding ways to get their kids physically active is very exciting. Some schools don't have gyms, yet teachers have created breaks during the school day to get kids up and moving. Those are people that are thinking outside the box, which is what we definitely need.

River Living on the McKenzie
McKenzie River Inn • Vida, OR
Escape Kit

- Or, a Two-Night Stay for Two in a Cabin, Sundays through Thursdays ($138) or Fridays and Saturdays ($158) and One Bottle of Red or White Wine
- Combine Vouchers to Stay Up to Four Nights
The Destination
Never mind that the town of Vida—about 30 minutes east of Eugene on the edge of the Willamette National Forest—is pronounced with a long "i"; it's spelled like the Spanish word for "life," and that's exactly what you'll get in this rustic Lane County town: bountiful orchards, never-ending hiking trails, nesting osprey, and the slow-flowing McKenzie River just steps from your door. This place is nothing if not alive.
The Digs
Hidden away among old-growth forest, the McKenzie River Inn is a small slice of getaway heaven. Built in 1929, this European-style inn is the oldest B&B on the river. The West Room boasts an en suite hot tub, the East Room features a panoramic view of the river, and the Romantic Suite is outfitted with an antique hundred-year-old bed frame. Breakfast in the morning might include French toast, salmon omelets, or a garden-medley quiche made with fruits and veggies grown in the orchard.
Meanwhile, a cabin stay nets you a bottle of red or white wine upon arrival. Each cabin is a secluded nook ideal for romance, and every one is equipped with a kitchenette and a private deck with a view of the water.
The Diversions
Inquire with innkeeper Bert about guided fly fishing, rafting, and scenic float trips
"I'm a regular traveler throughout the Pacific Northwest, and it's simply wonderful to catch my breath at this B&B on the river and enjoy the fishing, the splendid views, the excellent breakfast, the clean and comfortable rooms, and the pleasant service."-- iLoveInns

To be healthy, not only a good diet plan should be followed but also a good exercise schedule needs to be followed. During pregnancy a woman undergoes not only physical but mental and psychological changes too. To maintain a balance between all these changes it is very important for the pregnant women to go for yoga and meditation as it not only helps you to keep fit but also calms you down mentally.

Hi everyone I'm still sort of new here but I thought I would post some progress pics of my Fett Blaster. The base revolver is a denix replica revolver so its real metal and feels like a real gun. (I'm probably going to regret this when trooping but for now its cool). And I'm going the PVC route, and sink piece for the barrel. The scope is a Daisy 6x9 scope for a BB gun and the stock is something I found at an Antique store. Still not sure I'm going to use the stock or make my own. My only main complaints so far is that I had to cut the bracket to make it fit my revolver so it juts upward instead of smoothly transitioning into the stock. and that the trigger is a bit smaller than the webly's Other than that what do you all think so far.
I'll continue updating this thread with pics as I put it together and paint. (I also have the greeblies.)

You get the idea at Trattoria Romana South that the restaurant is the expression of a particular personality, even if you don't know that it was established by Luciano Canova. He signaled that directly with the popular Luciano's in Wrentham, Massaschusetts, and in other ways with the original Trattoria Romana in Lincoln.
Ah, families. Prominently displayed is a black-and-white photograph of a boy with his mother, Corrina, her hand resting protectively on young Luciano's shoulder. He was born and raised in a small village outside of Rome, and many of the photographs of people and landmarks lining the walls were taken by him on his numerous visits to Italy.
The restaurant establishes an easy balance between plain (sturdy wine glasses rather than crystal providing a comfortable informality) and fancy (tablecloths not hidden under bistro butcher paper). The waitstaff all wear burgundy shirts atop black pants or skirts, smartly complementing the light rose walls.
A complementary bowl of mixed vegetables was brought to the table. Nice. Unfortunately, they were steamed to death, so only Johnnie, jonesing for broccoli, more than sampled them.
Frequently, there's a long list of pizzas at Italian restaurants, appealing to as wide a spectrum of diners as possible. Here, as though trying to coax customers further into the menu, only one is offered. The simplest of versions, pizza margherita ($9.95) is buried among the appetizers, thoughtfully revised with fresh tomato slices instead of sauce. Other appetizers ($8.95-$10.95) range from fried calamari in a variation of the locally standard preparation (with hot cherry peppers) to lobster- and asparagus-filled ravioli. But nearly all of the starters are traditional southern Italian antipasti, such as pan-fried eggplant wrapped around ham and ricotta, and mozzarella with prosciutto. There is even an oversized meatball — composed of ground beef, veal, and sausage pork — proffered upon vinegared mixed greens. That last item is polpetta alla Corinna, revealing it to be Luciano's nostalgic, high-protein comfort food.
Our table shared the mixed antipasto platter ($10.95), enough for four to taste a standard assortment, from buffalo mozza-rella and provolone to prosciutto and Genoa salami. It contained the traditional fat-spotted mortadella instead of a more widely acceptable substitution. There were two soups ($4.95), but instead of trying their classic pasta e fagioli, a bean soup impossible to ruin, I chose zuppa de cipolle, to see if their version of baked onion soup, with many ways to go wrong, was acceptable. The broth was rich enough, but the Swiss cheese topping, not Gruyere, wasn't browned as is preferable for a bonus taste.
For main courses, there are many interesting choices of veal and seafood, chicken and pasta, and not just cacciatores and spaghettis. Among them, less common offerings are salmon with Maine lobster ($19.95) and Provimi veal T-bone steak. My dish was the vitello arragosta ($19.95). There were several lightly floured and sautéed veal medallions under a tasty sherry cream sauce plus a smidgen of béarnaise, over cappellini that didn't quite hang onto its bite, though it wasn't terribly overcooked. There was not much lobster on top, but it was, after all, described as a garnish.
Johnnie chose the stuffed chicken breast ($16.95), leisurely named bocconcini della nona al vin santo. Cooked with restraint and tastily glazed, it contained mozzarella and sage but also "imported baby porchetta," which sounded to us like a mushroom but actually was pork. The accompanying sautéed button mushrooms compensated, and the Parmesan risotto was nicely prepared.

Town Square
Stanford bowled over by historic response for postseason tickets

I can fathom reasons for calling it "the Rose Bowl Game presented by VISIO," but do you have to keep advertising the sponsorships of bowl games for the last three years?
a resident of Gunn High School

It's great that Stanford is having such a strong showing of fans for the Rose Bowl. There's very little demand for tickets outside of the Stanford community as this is the third year in a row that Wisconsin is playing and it's normally the fans from the midwest that drive up the price. If you want to get tickets, just go to Stub Hub and there are many tickets below face value. I bought two last night in the Stanford Section on the corner of the end zone last night at face value. There are some tickets right behind the goal posts that are selling for under $100.

Reviews for this host's other properties
It was great, our host and hostess were very kind and helpfull. The appartement was clean and well equiped. The location fine and the swimming pool very nice with a wonderful view over the sea!
We would very much like to come back, maybe with our whole family!
xxx Conny and Helma from the Netherlands
We stayed a week in one of José and Carmen apartments. We were given a detailed description of the road to the site and our hosts were very welcoming. The place was fantastic with a nice view to the mountains and the Mediterranean. It is necessary to have a car to arrive. It is a peaceful and quiet place, just as we wanted. Lovely pool which we used every day. There is the opportunity to trade in large supermarket about 5 km away. Not far to Malaga city and the airport (about 20 km) is the opportunity to shop and eat in restaurants in Malaga, while you can enjoy the quiet life outside the city. It was certainly José and Carmen's profits that it was a fantastic week.
Vi har boet en uge i en af José og Carmens lejligheder . Vi fik en udførlig beskrivelse af vejen til stedet og vores værter var meget imødekommende. Stedet var fantastisk med en flot udsigt til bjerge og Middelhavet. Det er nødvendigt med en bil for at komme frem. Det er et fredeligt og stille sted, lige som vi ønskede os. Dejligt med swimmingpool som vi benyttede hver dag. Der er mulighed for at handle i stort supermarked ca. 5 km væk. Ikke langt til Malaga by og lufthavn (ca. 20 km) Der er derfor mulighed for at shoppe og spise på restauranter i Malaga, samtidig med at man kan nyde det stille liv udenfor byen. Det var bestemt José og Carmens fortjeneste at det blev en helt fantastisk uge.
In an email correspondence with the host I asked whether it is possible our arrival at 1 am (night) for 7 days. The host replied - yes you can fix. Wimdu has levied a charge on my credit card for 7 days.
Why Wimdu gets the money in advance two months before your arrival?
That's unheard of!
Upon arrival in the middle of the night it turned out that our hut was not ready.
The host said that this night is extra and that can make us sleep in another apartment at an additional cost of 50 E. If it does not fit us, we can go and look for the hotel !!! (after traveling in the middle of the night !!!)
We agreed in thinking that the situation will become clear.
The next morning we moved to our cottage. The accommodation was consistent with the description on the website and from our expectations.
Only after a few days we met with the owner who brought wine ...
He apologized for the oversight of our arrival date. Unfortunately, not feeling up for the return of money for one night. He said that this is my problem and Wimdu.
We stayed 7 nights and we paid for 8 nights.
The whole behavior of the host was arrogant and unfair.
I do not recommend.
We have had a fantastic stay in Finca Buenavista, appartement Cadiz. A large, clean en well equipped appartement. Ideal for those who prefer a calm holiday far away from the touristic crowd and who want to enjoy the Spanish culture. The view on the Andalusian hills and ocean is fabulous. A car is necessary because supermarket and interesting places to visit aren't close.
José Louis and Carmen are very friendly, welcoming and helpfull! Thanks for everything!
great welcome and logistics José Luis & Carmen rentals and beautiful (quiet, scenery, outdoor pool, layout of the apartment).
Ideally placed to visit Andalusia (highway qq kms).
super accueil et logistique de José Luis & Carmen et magnifique location (calme, paysage, piscine extérieure, agencement de l'appartement).
Idéalement placé pour visiter l'Andalousie (autoroute à qq kms).
Great house for 2 persons with a private pool, stunning views !. Well kept interior. We would definitely go again.
Geweldig huisje voor 2 personen met een privé zwembad, schitterend uitzicht!. Nette en verzorgde inrichting. Wij willen er zeker nog een keer heen.

[3/3/2010 Update]
There's a issue of using 4Gb sticks on T410 currently that results in video output artifacts and aero interface problems when using Lenovo supplied drivers v18.104.22.16825. I think I can call it confirmed (Three people including me face this issue).
Possible workaround is to install modified EliteBook 8440p video driver (read along this thread) comes with a BIG drawback of not being able to change brightness level within Windows 7. To sweeten it a little bit - you can set luminance level at POST screen, when computer boots up.
[Original Message]
Encountered strange behavoir of my T410.
I have a T410 with 256Mb of Video Memory and 1440x900 display, a T61 with 128Mb of Video Memory and 1400x1050 dsplay and external monitor HP w2338h with 1920x1080 resolution.
If I connect external monitor to my T410 and launch Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 - image blinks and comes back with Aero disabled. Looking through event logs reveals the lack of memory. Entry information can be found further.
Now If I do the same with my old Thinkpad T61, connect the same monitor using the same cable - I can open as many Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 instances I like (tried 5) and nothing blinks and Aero stays enabled.
Actually I find ridiculous, a notebook with more VRAM cannot archive the same performance as notebooks with less.
Does anyone know what path should I pursue to solve this issue?
UPDATE: Simply running multiple instances of Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 without external monitor causes Aero disabled as well.

Solved! Go to Solution.
have you ensured that you have the latest Intel AMT and NVIDIA drivers?
I would say you are running Beta software, perhaps it would be best to raise this conern with MS since it is quite likely that this is a bug in their software which presents itself on your hardware, assuming that it is the only application which exhibits this behavior.
Download newer video drivers from www.laptopvideo2go.com or www.nvidia.com.. Your video card is aka Quadro NVS 140M.
Yes I did reinstall all the drivers I could find off the Lenovo site, with no success. Then I tried Nvidia (WHQL and Beta) packages (modified .inf file that came along). That resulted in less natural colors of the video output, but didn't solve the problem.
That what I'm leaning toward too. Everything else is working as expected, it's only Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 that gives me the troubles only on this particular computer.
NVS140M is a T61 video card I have no problems with.
NVS3100M is the card giving me troubles.
I'm still in process of collecting information to make my judgements of the my problem. So far I can only reproduce it with Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2.
I have the same problem with T410 and aero disabled. I am not using VS and I get this error anyway.
The Desktop Window Manager has encountered a fatal error (0x8007000e).
This must be buggy drivers, on Lenovo download site is just the one and the only initial driver for T410 graphics card.
Welcome to the boat, I started to think that I'm the only one with this problem. But given you're having the same problem, I'm leaning toward contacting support service and open up a case.

What software were you actively using when this error occured?
When I tried to switch between applications with Alt+Tab. Sometimes if I stop and then start Desktop Windows Manager, Aero start working again but in most times it does not.
Are you using the latest drivers found here:

The Alaska Rush have captured the first State Cup titles of the 2012-2013 season for Rush as the U14 girls and U17 Boys won their respective age groups in the recent Cup competition.
'I'm very proud of our girls and honored to be their coach,' said 99G Nike team Head Coach and Alaska Rush Technical Director Jason Leonardis. 'We set out with a singular goal last year of winning State Cup and we worked extremely hard and smart as a group to achieve that goal. It's a great accomplishment and we look forward to fairing well in Hawaii next year.'
With regards to the 96B Nike team's win, Head Coach Mike Montgomery said, 'The boys are extremely excited about going to Hawaii and are looking forward to representing Alaska soccer in a good light.'
Alaska Rush also had two teams make it to the finals - 00G Nike and 97G Nike - and as runners-up, those sides will represent the Club in the Region IV President's Cup in Idaho next June.
Congratulations Alaska Rush!
Last summer a record 28 Rush teams won State Cup titles across the country with the U18 boys from Florida Rush going on to win Regionals and then the clubs First National Championship.

Any other SETX or gulf coast beeks on here know what might be blooming right now? I'm seeing lots of light yellow-gray pollen coming in. Not sure how much associated nectar there is, as I've been feeding, but it's definitely no honey flow. My potted citrus trees are blooming now, but the volume of pollen coming in is far more than just mine. Unless there is a huge citrus grove tucked in the suburbs nearby that I don't know of. I have 14 colonies in my yard right now and all are bringing in a steady run of this pollen.
I think we are still too early for pine and it's not as green as the pine I'm used to either. I'm thinking it must be some sort of native tree species but I just don't know what. Any ideas?

I was planning on making several TBH swarm traps with the same width and depth of my TBH's and was wondering if any of you had any advice on how many bars it should be to make it big enough to be attractive yet small enough to be manageable.
My hives are Kenyan TBH with the available are for the bees as follows:
17 1/8 inches wide below the top bar
8 1/2 inches deep
6 5/8 wide at the bottom
With those dimensions one 1 1/4 top bar would give about 195 cubic inches of space. How many bars would be best to use to make it large enough but not too large. Thanks for the imput.
