eh? His 21 catches dont real make him a stellar pass catcher. He could probably be pretty good on bubble screens, but he has very little experience as a receiver[/quote]
We can coach him up on that []

even though we can, i don't want to go through another year where we throw the ball that much ever again.
i honestly think reese picked what he thought was BPA.
you may disagree with his board, but his track record is so strong that frankly you have to consider what you're missing instead of what he's missing.

You could be right, lol.
But I also didn't like the Sintim pick.
why can't nicks and cruz both be signed? them two and jpp is our next generation of greats - we need to keep them.
[quote user="TuckYou"]
I am not thrilled with this pick at all. I wasn't thrilled with JPP though either, so, really it doesnt mean much.
Running backs are a dime a dozen. The only one I would of taken is Richardson. After that, it is too deep to get one in the first.
Im not saying Wilson will be bad or a bust by anymeans, but I feel we reached. I feel we were hoping Doug Martin was thereand the Bucs straight up smacked us in the nose by trading right in front of us and snagging him.
And I want to go on record and say that Courtney Upshaw is going to be a probowler for years to come. Watching this guy play, he could do it all. Rush the passer, play LB, ect. Reminds me of when DeMeco Ryans slipped. Upshaw will be better then Ryans, who won the DROY and has been to multiple probowls.
I would of rather taken someone to replace MM like Stephan Hill. It's a passing league now. We dont run the ball as much as we used to. And it netted us a 2nd SB in 4 years. Nicks and Cruz willnot both be resigned.
Our Oline was one of the worst for run blocking in the NFL. That isnt going to change much. Id almost rather we rebuild the Oline. Cordy Glenn, Konz, Adams...The trenches.
Anyway, I dont agree with the pick, but Reese is the man so I guess we will see what his game plan is. I guess I am just a little sour because the Bucs made us look bad too.
This is another myth in the NFL. And it so cliche its getting boring.
MOST RB's are a dime a dozen. But great RB's are game changers and can improve the productivity of almost every aspect of your football team.
If JR thought he had a chance to get a player like that he was right to take it.
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
[quote user="DJloves"]why can't nicks and cruz both be signed? them two and jpp is our next generation of greats - we need to keep them.[/quote]
I would love it, but think about how much money these 2 will command. Then add in top DE money to JPP. I hope Reese can figure it out, but it reminds me of the T2 vs Ross situation. We could only keep one.
[quote user="RoanokeFan"][quote user="slipknottin"]Giants felt there will be a run on HBs in the 2nd round, and by the time they were on the clock again the quality at the position would be subpar[/quote]
This makes the most sense to me.* How could they let him go for another BPA knowing Wilson would be long gone at pick 64.** I thunk it was a good move for now and the future.* I'd like to see them get another TE and OT on offense and a DT/DE on defense.
Do you think they would consider trading up for Fleener offering Osi and a 7th round pick?* Fleener will never make it to 64.
Do NOT see them trading up for Fleener but possibly trade up to take someone high on their board that will not reach them at bottom of second. (Like Massie, Jonathan Martin, Randle possibly) then hopefully take dwayne allen at bottom of second. Then for 3rd round- maybe pick up Mike Martin if he lasts.
[quote user="TuckYou"][quote user="Firenugget"]I'm tired of hearing that. No offense to you personally, just in general. RB's are definitely not a dime a dozen. Unless of course you mean 3rd/4th string RB's...
As far as the Bucs go I like Wilson better than Martin myself.
No, RBs are a dime a dozen. Bradshaw is a perfect example. 7th round. Jacobs was a 4th round. Only time will tell though.
For now, I trust Reese and will root hard for David Wilson. I just see this as a need pick, not a BPA.[/quote]
Brady was drafted in the 6th round, I guess QB's are a dime a dozen too. And Im beginning to think most of you dont actually know what dime a dozen means, either that or you actually think that running backs are so common that they have 0 value.
I get a kick out of the reaching comments too, its not reaching if you think the guy is going to be good. If you like him, you take him.
I guess youd just rather watch shotgun draws to Ware all season long.

U.S. Companies Increase Dividends By $14.5B in Q1 – S&P
The first quarter brought investors $14.5 billion in U.S. common stock net dividend increases, S&P Dow Jones Indices said today.
"If you look at dividends as your paycheck, the increase translates into a 3.4% pay raise for the quarter," writes Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst at S&P DJI. "At this point, 2013 will easily surpass the 2012 record dividend payment, which speaks to the growth of dividends since 2012 payments included accelerated payments from 2013."
The quarter saw 944 dividend increases, a 39.4% gain over the 677 dividend increases reported during Q1 2012. By percentage, some of the quarter's biggest dividend hikes came from Ford Motor (F), which doubled its dividend in January; Wynn Resorts (WYNN), which also doubled its dividend in February; Qualcomm (QCOM), which boosted its dividend by 40% last month; Haliburton Co. (HAL), which hiked its dividend by 39% in February; and Home Depot (HD), which boosted its dividend by 34% in February.
S&P DJI said actual cash payments increased 12% and the forward indicated dividend rate reached a new all-time high. The indicated dividend rate excludes special and extra one-time dividend payments, and was therefore not impacted by the massive late-year rush to avoid potential higher taxes.
Meanwhile, payout rates, which historically average 52%, continue to remain near their lows at 36%.
The weighted dividend yield was 2.61% at the end of the quarter, down from 2.80% at year-end, and slightly up from the 2.58% yield at the end of Q1 2012. "The lower yield is the result of the strong 10% equity increase in the first quarter," silverblatt said. "Dividend yields remain relatively attractive compared to other instruments such as corporate bonds, treasuries, and bank CDs, especially considering the new 'permanent' tax rate, which, while higher than last year, maintains preferential treatment for dividends."
Of the roughly 10,000 U.S. traded issues, 139 companies decreased dividends in Q1 2013 compared to 35 companies in the Q1 2012.

An enthusiastic throng of over (100) U-11, U-12, and U-13 Colorado Rush players, siblings, and parents gathered this past Sunday to cheer on Barcelona and Real Madrid in the 2014 El Clasico!
Passions ran deep as Barca tallied the opening goal- so much so that a very partisan Alex Robredo (Barcelona native and Rush Soccer Director of International Affairs) managed to dislocate his shoulder with his excessive fist pumping! The action was riveting all afternoon, both on the pitch and at the Clubhouse.
This was much more than just an average "watch party". These Rush players can tell their grandchildren they were there for the first official INAUGURAL RUSH CLUBHOUSE PARTY, ushering in both a new era and home for the Colorado Rush. Enjoying a lavish pot-luck spread, friendly banter and good cheer was abundant as kids enjoyed playing soccer, fusbal, soccer tennis, ping-pong, and even tried their hand on the impromptu archery range throughout the sun-splashed afternoon.
The Rush clubhouse is the vision of Rush President Tim Schulz, who gathered all the attendees at halftime to share the master plan of the facility, of which the clubhouse is only the tip of the iceberg. Centered on 58 acres, south of Chatfield reservoir off Titan Road, the clubhouse has been designed to house visiting international and domestic soccer exchange players during their Colorado stays, and also to serve as a "home away from home" for all Rush players; a sanctuary to call their own. It is place to chill, be a kid, hang out, bond with clubmates, and create the indelible memories that should make up their youth. The clubhouse was founded on a common love for the game, but should serve as so much more- a family gathering spot, welcoming to all, a place for children to be raised with a strong sense of the special community they belong to. Pride in their surroundings, respect for others and accountability for their actions are the real price of admission here.
The property opens to expansive views of the foothills, giving it a special Colorado signature. Surrounding the clubhouse will be multiple soccer fields (upwards of 10), including both natural grass fields and artificial turf fields to facilitate training year round. Ultimately, a premier pitch in a stadium bowl, training facilities, and even an Academy building are envisioned. Tim even mentioned some appropriate adjacent retail development to accommodate the game day families attending the Rush home fields. The vision aims to create a facility that any player would be thrilled to play upon.
(One of the future fields at the home of Colorado Rush and Rush Soccer.)
Erin Moorehead, a U-11 Rush Player loved her afternoon at the clubhouse, especially the idea that the clubhouse might be rented out for her private team party. Although the clubhouse has many of the comforts of home, it has been built very much with an eye to economy and frugality, befitting the home of a non-profit club.
Since the work is far from complete, if you have any interest, please talk to your coach and explore the website for ways to help contribute to this intriguing venture, as it is a HOME for all Rush members. Any labor, materials, or insight are all greatly appreciated. Please feel free to contact the Director of Training Nick Blanco if you are interested in renting out Titan as well.
Oh yeah, Barca squeaked out a 4-3 victory, much to the delight of the unofficial jersey poll, as 11 Barca jerseys were counted to only 3 Real jerseys amongst the kids.

What if you built a 'funnel' out of aluminum? I'm thinking a piece of flat stock slightly narrower than your entrance and long enough to reach almost to the back. Then just pour dry sugar on it. Just a thought
What if you built a 'funnel' out of aluminum? I'm thinking a piece of flat stock slightly narrower than your entrance and long enough to reach almost to the back. Then just pour dry sugar on it. Just a thought
Ideally dry sugar is placed just above and as near to the cluster as possible. Bees may take dry sugar on a bottom board well if the cluster is very low but there are also scenarios, oddly enough, where bees will begin to haul it out of the entrance like so much garbage.
"People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe."- Andy Rooney
A local beek here told me to close off the lower entrance up to 90% to help alleviate them kicking out the sugar as trash. He told me they will finally get it and eat it.
I personally have never done this as I bring all my bees south for the winter. I suppose if I was inclined to keep them in NY I might consider putting my previous summer NUCs in an insulated building with fans.
Certainly it would be better if you could get the lid off but since that isn't an option I guess you could try sugar on the bottom boards for a few and do more if it works? I've tried boardman feeders before and they're a ton of work... You'll probably pay more than 50 cents for a mason jar to put in that feeder plus no matter how careful you are the Jars will eventually turn green with mold which can't be good for the bees. Best of luck whatever way you go with
[QUOTE=Allen Martens;896828]Nick, interesting your experience is 40 F as to when difficulties arise in the wintering shed. I very comfortable with temperature up to about 50 F and not too concerned if temperatures reach mid 50's F in spring for a couple of hours. If I want to work in the wintering shed, I normally drop the temperature down to 35 F or so.
We try and hold our shed at 40 F. The problem is when the lights are on they want to leave the box. I don't want them out of the box until we haul them to California. I don't sweep or turn the main red lights on at all once they are in. I check the temp. every day and make sure the fans are working and leave them alone. This past winter was the easiest we have had it for controlling temps as it was colder outside.
We are only in storage for about 60 days, so its not really the same program you guys have up north. How many pounds do you figure a good hive (8-10 frames bees) loses over a normal winter? Also do see much bee population losses?
Ya the trick to wintering indoors is having consistent COLD weather outside to help regulate the indoor temp. Rairly would there be a chance for hives to fly throughout the entire winter period, if they sat outside, maybe once or twice throughout the entire wintering period. We have a consistent cold winter here in Manitoba,
Hard to tell what the bee loss would be over the winter, Ill sweep up 5-6 barrels of bees from 1000 single hives through the winter. So I guess the bee loss would be something like 1/2 - 1 1/2 lbs of bees per hives.
I always wondered how beekeepers saw what they were doing inside the buildings where they kept the bees .
If the bees are bothered by the red lights , if you could find night vision binoculars or a monoculars , that would be a neat way to avoid the lights ?? i don't know if that is stupid or not to suggest : )
I know i'm a little nutty : p
You have a nice setup Ian !
I can work in the shed with red lighting and very will see very little disturbance from the hives.
I made the mistake a while ago of wearing a head lamp, with white light. Not to long before I had a FACE FULL OF BEES !
I'm sure that was a fun experience .
Ian I made the mistake of wearing a headlamp under my veil when moving bees at night by hand once. ...and I say ONCE!
Did not have anyway to shut headlamp off as switch is on headlamp and I did not want to lift up my veil with 80,000 bees bouncing off and clinging to it trying to sting me anyway they could. That was the most stings I ever received and it was not fun! But funny now when I think back at my learning curve!
Hugus Creek Honey Farm: St. Maries, ID / Lewiston, ID
Like us on Facebook
ha ha ha, learning curve is right ! lol
Nick as far as bee loss per hive, Ian's number of 1/2 to 1 1/2 pounds per hive is probably a good one. This number can vary greatly from year to year. Hives that have lost most of their summer bees during the fall before move in will drop fewer bees in winter. Most times a heavier drop points to stronger hives and better survival because this usually means the hives are bigger to begin with. (Of course if disease is not under control, then the hives may just be dying.) No bee drop is a really bad thing.
I used to use a headlamp that had a red light option but lost it during a bee move last year. So, this year I have only been using a white light headlamp and have gotten away with it so far. However, as I said before, I do drop the temp down to just above freezing if I am going to work in the wintering room.
took a peak into the nucs the other day, they seem to be holding a larger cluster than I thought when I brought them in.
Five weeks ! The time will fly!
Do you see any difference in winter survival of the singles versus the doubles? Seems like I always have up to 40 or so hives I can't seem to fit on the semi headed to almonds and I always have a mixture of singles and doubles to choose from. My building is a bit larger and I'd have fewer bees to help heat it so I'd have to supplement the heat a bit to keep it at 5 degrees C or so. Also interested in the genetics of the bees you have the best luck with for wintering indoors--that would factor into who stays and who goes to CA in the fall.
ya, indoor wintering will work for you, we are basically neighbours ! Cheers!
As for the question about singles and doubles, I see a bit of a larger population from the doubles, but as for wintering losses, I see no difference. I have both double and single arrangement as well as 5 frame nucs. I use alot of Cali queens, carni, they work great !
Thanks Ian; I'll give this a try next fall!
sure beats wrapping
ha ha ha, probably would of sent me to Cali also ! , hmmmm

This apartment is five minutes from the Avenida da Liberdade / Restauradores / Rossio. Even in central Lisbon with access to the entire network of transportation - subway, bus, taxi, train and all trade: supermarket, grocery store, fruit store, restaurants, bars, hairdressers and gyms.
Bus: Campo Mártires da Pátria, Marquês de Pombal/Duque de Loulé. Subway station: Intendente. To go up from da "Baixa" to "Santana's Hill": "Elevador do Lavra" / Bus: 760
Lisbon has been the capital of Portugal since the 12th century. It has a long history that can be experienced in the old neighborhoods, which may be visited by foot or tram. The Atlantic climate offers wonderful conditions to travel all year round. The main feature of Pena is that it is a plateau, from which two main slopes descend, facing Martin Moniz and Avenida da Liberdade. It begins at the north-east of Rossio and extends to Campo dos Mártires da Pátria, commonly known by Campo de Santana. The streets on the two slopes are twisting and irregular, leading to many beautiful alleys and side streets.
Being one of the oldest districts in Lisbon, one is overwhelmed by the diversity of its buildings, constructed in accordance with the successive types of architecture through centuries. Wrought iron balconies from the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries can be seen everywhere. In constant dialogue with the wrought iron are the glazed tiles of the façades - a style reportedly brought from Brazil after the 16th century.
It is very close to the famous Bairro Alto, a nightlife area, which can be reached after walking down Rossio or by taking the Elevador do Lavra, the oldest funicular in Lisbon. This 120 year old elevator goes every 15 minutes down to Rua das Portas de Santo Antão, the location of many excellent fish restaurants as recommended by many city guides.

Reviews for this host's other properties
The Flat is very nice,confortable and very close to city center and metro station.All around there are a lot of nice restaurantes.
If i will come back to Lisboa i will choose margarida's flat for sure.
Nice appartment, very friendly and helpful reception.
Locationwise also perfect.
Less appealing were the low amount of natural light, the ants and noise when raining.
Lovely little apartment within easy walking distance of the city.
If you're not keen on the walking then the metro is 2 minutes away which gives great access to the rest of the city and the airport.
We were greeted a little later than planned (our flight was late) but this was no issue and we were provided extremely helpful hints and tips of where to go and what to see while we were staying in Lisbon.
There's a small narrow flight of stairs up to the apartment, but the apartment is well equipped, quiet and would love to stay there again if we get the chance to visit.
This is a very beautiful and very clean Appartment in the middle of the nightlife in Lisboa!
Also the house keeper and all comunication is very fast and friendly!
Next time we get to Lisboa we like to get back here!
What a great apartment! The view is amazing! The location perfectly suited in the old part of Lisbon. You can walk in a few minutes into the city centre. The flat was very clean! We really enjoyed our stay here and I wish I could have taken the comfortable bed with me. The bed is more than big enough for two persons. Apartment is equiped with everything you need. (Towels, kitchen equipment,..) Absolutely recommendable.
Everything was fine !!!
Very nice and comfortable Appartement. It is near the "nightlife" of lisbon, the Bairro Alto, with lots of bars and places. Very friendly and helpful owners. We (group of 6) enjoyed our trip to lisbon.
We had a great time in a very nice, clean and renovated apartment in a lively neighborhood. Everything we needed was in the apartment and we had good communication with Margarida. The only minor thing: the noise of the street at night. So if you are not used to that, make sure to have some earplugs with you.
Great, beautiful and clean apartment in perfect location, super nice and helpful host - recommended us where to go, what to do and where to eat - we took the advice and were 100% happy with that!!! We totally recomment that apartment :)
Great stay with a very accommodating host. We had a great time in the heart of Lisbon. Lots of action in the neighborhood. Loads of restaurants, cafes and interesting points of interest. Highly recommended.

"A Worn Path" Welty, Eudora
The following entry presents criticism on Welty's short story "A Worn Path," first published in The Atlantic Monthly in February 1940, and later in A Curtain of Green, 1941. See also Eudora Welty Short Story Criticism.
"A Worn Path" is considered one of Welty's most distinguished and frequently studied works of short fiction. Deceptively simple in tone and scope, the story is structured upon a journey motif that incorporates a rich texture of symbolic meaning. According to Alfred Appel, "'A Worn Path' passes far beyond its regionalism because of its remarkable fusion of various elements of myth and legend, which invest the story with a religious meaning that can be universally felt."
Plot and Major Characters"A Worn Path" describes the journey of an elderly black woman named Phoenix Jackson who walks from her home to the city of Natchez to get medicine for her sick grandson. The landscape as Phoenix perceives it becomes a primary focus of the vividly evoked narrative; nature is depicted as alternately beautiful and as an impediment to Phoenix's progress. As she walks, she struggles against intense fatigue and poor eyesight, as well as such obstacles as thorn bushes and barbed wire. The combined effects of her old age, her poor vision, and her poetic view of the world heighten the lyricism and symbolism of the narrative. For example, she mistakes a scarecrow for a dancing "ghost" until she draws close enough to touch its empty sleeve. A particularly tense episode occurs when she encounters a white hunter who appears friendly at first, but then makes a condescending suggestion that she is probably "going to town to see Santa Claus." When he inadvertently drops a nickel, Phoenix distracts him and manages to pick it up, feeling that she is stealing as she does so. The hunter suddenly points his gun at her, and while he may have seen her pick up the nickel, it is unclear what his actual motivation is for this threatening gesture. Phoenix, however, does not appear afraid; the hunter lowers his gun and she manages to continue on her way unharmed and without returning the nickel. Finally reaching the "shining" city of Natchez, Phoenix enters the "big building"—presumably a hospital—where a nurse questions her about her grandson, asking if he has died. Phoenix remains strangely quiet at first, as if deaf to the nurse's questions. She then apologizes, claiming that her memory had suddenly failed her—that for a moment, she could not remember why she had made her long journey. The story concludes with Phoenix's heartfelt description of her grandson, whose throat was injured several years ago when he swallowed lye. She declares that he is not dead, receives the medicine for him, along with another nickel, with which she decides to buy him a Christmas present—a "little windmill."
Major Themes
Phoenix Jackson emerges in "A Worn Path" as a character who endures; she is the symbol of perseverance, stamina, and life in the face of hardship and death. Commentators have noted that her sheer fortitude in making the long journey on foot and alone points to these qualities, as does the mythological significance of her name, Phoenix—an Egyptian bird symbolizing resurrection. Christian symbolism is also apparent in the narrative. For example, the fact that the story is set during the Christmas season has led some critics to associate Phoenix's journey with that of a religious pilgrimage; her selfless concern for her grandson is interpreted as representing the true spirit of giving and self-sacrifice. While much of the story's substance rests on the imagistic and symbolic use of language, the action of the plot also shows Phoenix in direct conflict with the outside world—a society run by white people who have little respect or understanding for her situation. A man hunting in the forest assumes that she is going to town merely "to see Santa Claus," while a nurse dismisses her as a "charity" case and offers little sympathy for the plight of Phoenix's sick grandson. Because the story is completely free of authorial intrusion or explanatory commentary, the images and events that occur in the narrative remain open to a variety of reader interpretations.
Critical Reception
Critical discussion of "A Worn Path" largely has been concerned with thematic interpretation of the work, particularly the story's racial, mythological, and Christian motifs. Focusing predominantly on the story's Christian motifs, Neil D. Isaacs viewed Phoenix's Christmas journey as a "religious pilgrimage" with an ironic end that suggests "greed, corruption, cynicism." Also emphasizing Christian themes in the work, Sara Treeman pointed to story's theme of self-sacrifice, noting that the worn path "is worn because this is the symbolic journey made by all who are capable of self-sacrifice, of whom Christ is the archetype." The presence of secular mythology in the text has also been the subject of discussion by such critics as Dan Donlan, who perceived the prominence of the Egyptian myth of the Phoenix in the structure and symbolism of the story. Frank Ardolino argued for a conflation of mythological and Christian interpretations of the work, showing how "along with the Christian motifs of rebirth, the cycles of natural imagery presented create the theme of life emerging from death." The racial element of "A Worn Path" has also been a subject of critical discussion. William Jones commented in 1957 that "[t]he main reason that Miss Welty chose a Negro seems to be that only a relatively simple, uncivilized individual is worthy of representing the powerful forces which inspires such love as hers for her grandchild." John R. Cooley, in contrast, argued for a broader social reading of the story, criticizing the sentiment of the work and accusing Welty of failing to "develop her racial portraits with sufficient sensitivity or depth." Nancy K. Butterworth responded to Cooley's assessment and others with the observation that "[s]uch polemical demythologizings conflict with Welty's persistent refusal to use fiction as a platform, particularly for political or sociological issues, as well as her downplaying and even disavowal of racial implications in her stories."

[In the following review, Jones examines the ways in which "deeper meaning" is contained in the apparently simple language and structure of "A Worn Path. "]
Unlike many of Eudora Welty's stories, "A Worn Path" has a deceptively uncomplex organization. The major portion of the story simply recounts the journey of an old Negro woman into Natchez at Christmas time to obtain medicine for her grandson. Underneath this seemingly naive account lies a persistently annoying suggestion that there is more to the story than appears at a casual reading.

In his discussion of Eudora Welty's "A Worn Path," (Explicator, June, 1957), William Jones identifies the central character, Old Phoenix, with the legendary bird of Egyptian folklore.

"A Worn Path" has received a fair amount of critical attention, most of it presuming that Eudora Welty intended her protagonist, Aunt Phoenix Jackson, to be "a symbol of the immortality of the Negro's spirit of endurance," as Alfred Appel puts it [in A Season of Dreams: The Fiction of Eudora Welty, 1965].

It is not nature that is the spirit of healing in "A Worn Path," but human love and endurance, in spite of a world that might seem Gothic to those less grounded in reality than is Phoenix Jackson.

Gisborne Hospital can not rule out that more human body parts have been thrown in the garbage, after shocked rubbish workers discovered bone fragments at the dump.
It is believed the body parts, found in two separate rubbish bags, had come from two patients who underwent minor surgery at the hospital.
Hospital policy dictates that all body parts must either be returned to the patient or incinerated, and the incident has prompted a review of the hospital's systems.
Tairawhiti District Health chief executive Jim Green could not rule out that this had happened before.
"There's no way of of saying there's perfection and this has never happened in the past,'' he said.
The remains were believed to be part of a knee and a hip, indicating they had been removed during minor surgery and that the patients were most likely still alive.
The first fragments were discovered when a bag marked "hospital supply'' fell onto the ground and split open at Transpacific AllBrite's waste recycling centre.
Workers from companies Transpacific Recycling and Regal Haulage were shocked when they saw small pieces of bone which had spilled out.
This prompted the hospital to order the entire week's worth of hospital rubbish to be checked, and a second bag with more pieces of bone was found.
Mr Green had seen one of the fragments, which he said was a 2 - 3cm piece of what appeared to be a knee joint.
"It is disturbing when you come across something like that, especially if you don't work with that sort of thing on a day to day basis,'' he said.
If the patients had not indicated they wanted their body parts back, the items should have been placed into yellow bags following surgery, signalling they were to be incinerated.
Hospital staff responsible for cleaning the theatre following surgery must have accidentally placed the fragments into a white bag, bound for the general rubbish.
The hospital had not been able to ascertain which patients the bone fragments were from, but Mr Green believed the patients would eventually be located by analysing surgery times over the past few weeks.
DNA analysis would not be necessary.
"We'd like to tell these people what has happened and apologise to them,'' he said.
For Maori patients, the return of all body parts was a particularly important issue.
Transpacific Recycling Managing Director Tom Nickels said waste had come from Gisborne Hospital in a regular delivery.
The site had been closed after the discovery, and blessed by a chaplain, while staff were offered counselling.
Police and the Gisborne District Council had also been notified.

A million patients across New Mexico will have their health records transferred to an electronic platform developed by New Zealand's Orion Health after the company's technology was chosen to power a new health information exchange in the southwestern US state.
The Auckland-based company, which has developed systems that allow doctors and specialists to store and look up patient records online, has been expanding rapidly in the US in recent years.
Orion Health said the New Mexico Health Information Collaborative, the state's health information exchange, would expand the capabilities it offered to healthcare providers through the use of its technology.
The exchange planned to use the new platform to develop a long-term community health record for each patient, partly aimed at reducing the burden of chronic diseases throughout the state, which is sandwiched between Texas and Arizona and has a population of just over two million.
Orion Health said its technology would empower clinicians within the exchange through providing them with easy, secure access to the most up-to-date patient information.
"With the enhanced features that Orion Health ... offers, users will not only have access to the latest patient information, they'll have the tools needed to drive improvements in care throughout New Mexico," said Craig Hewitt, the exchange's chief information officer.
Paul Viskovich, president of Orion Health North America, said the company was proud to be a strategic partner in such an important project.
Orion Health's technology now provided the "backbone" of health information exchanges across the US, the company said.
The latest Tin100 report on New Zealand's biggest technology companies said Orion Health earned revenue of $100 million last year.

This team can only blame itself. It's too easy to say the Cowboys choked, because it implies they couldn't handle the pressure of holding a fourth-quarter lead against the Giants.
That's not what happened.
The Cowboys gave this one away. That's right, they gift-wrapped it and handed it over to the loudmouths from New York with a series of dumb mistakes and mind-numbing plays that gave the Giants no choice but to win the game.
Yep, this team and their mediatic press are full of it. Overrated and of course always excusing themselves of years and years of failure.
Loudmouths ???? LMAO ! Priceless !!!![/quote]
they handed our offense 37 points and eli 400 yards
The only thing that got handed here was their butts to themselves. You got beat , plain and simple, move on , no excuses.

Rush Soccer is very pleased to announce it has continued its international expansion with 2 clubs joining from Trinidad and Tobago!
"This is a very exciting move for us, as now we have reached the most southern part of the Caribbean," said Technical Director Brian Lux. "These two clubs reach across the island and will surely be a great addition to our REACH program and provide a wonderful new pool of talent for our academy clubs."
Joining the Rush will be SPC Football Club, headed by Peter Pierre and Colin Roach, and Stephan De Four, and the Football IQ Academy, headed by Caleb de Souza.
"SPC is very delighted by the fact the we have been embraced by such an esteemed organization- Rush Soccer," said Peter. "That this opportunity has been given to us is testament to our hard work in keeping with international best practice and standards. This partnership now raises our profile tremendously and will give our players and coaches further inspiration to work even harder. We thank Mr. Brian Lux for making this all possible and look forward to working to make this relationship something that we can be all proud of! Many, many thanks as well to Don Gemmell, Dave Dengerink and Stephan De Four for giving me the opportunity to get first hand experience of a truly organized and professional organization Rush Soccer is and to enjoy the culture that is warm, receptive and rewarding. It was very easy therefore to enter this partnership."
Peter was able to work with Texas Rush for several weeks leading up to the formation of this partnership, and his experience there made the move to Rush Soccer an easy one.
"We are very excited for the Football IQ Academy to be in partnership with Rush Soccer," said Caleb. "Not only will it provide our players with international exposure, our coaches can benefit from the exchange of best practices and advanced coaching education. Often in Trinidad and Tobago, we are faced with a lack of resources at the grassroots level to develop talented players to the required level where they can eventually compete in the modern game. I am looking forward to working with our Rush partners globally to provide this bridge for many of our young aspiring players. With our Rush partnership, what was a dream for many young players is now becoming a reality! Every player in this country deserves the opportunity to realize their fullest potential and I am thankful that the Rush international staff has taken the time to meet with us to discuss a suitable approach to moving forward. My key objective now is to start collaborating with several of the local grassroots clubs to establish an administrative and technical support system so they too can benefit from our partnership. For instance, through the REACH Program (Rush Equipment Assisting Children), Rush can support disadvantaged youth in developing countries through its partnership network to provide football uniforms and gear. I am also thankful to Dion La Foucade (currently based in the United States) who was essential in initiating this partnership."
A warm welcome to our two newest Rush clubs and best of luck for the future!

He is now unable to walk without assistance and uses a wheelchair most times. He is a young man (mid 30's) with young kids at home. We desperately want to help and have read books, but what I ask today is from those who have direct experience with MS and using BVT. Please no hype, I'm looking for advice from someone with first hand experience.
1. What is the likelihood that a properly administerd BVT regiment will help improve his condition.
2. What are the most effective areas to focus the stings.

Rare sports car crashes on Interstate 26
Crash destroys Ford GT 40
UNICOI COUNTY, Tenn. - An antique sports car crashed in on the Interstate in Unicoi County Saturday afternoon.
The Tennessee Highway Patrol says the car involved is a 1966 Ford GT-40. According to highway patrol officials, the rare sports car crashed just after 2 p.m. Saturday near mile marker 37.
Troopers say car is valued at roughly $150,000.
The owner is from North Carolina. He was not hurt.
The highway patrol says a second crash happened around the same time in the same area while traffic was slowing due to the first crash. Three cars were involved in the second wreck.
Two people were taken to the hospital and one person was cited for failure to exercise due care.
Heavy rain is believed to be a factor in both crashes.

Playing short-handed is not a foreign concept in soccer or hockey. When it comes to football, though, it's not exactly the norm.
While Lamar didn't take the field with 10 men against Nicholls State last Saturday, the sidelines were a lot less crowded than usual at kickoff because Cardinals head coach Ray Woodard suspended 20 players for the first half due to "conduct detrimental to the team."
Many of the missing were starters, forcing a bevy of reserves to step up and lead the Cardinals to their first Southland Conference win. Improbably, that's precisely what they did. Though the suspended players returned for the second half, their replacements set the tone for the 56-34 win.
"I had a choice to make — maybe sacrifice a win in order to keep discipline and rules intact," Woodard said. "I've done it in the past with a player or two, but never this many. With that large a number it could have cost us the game."
Whether it was some case of karma paying off for doing the right thing, or just a mad scientist bit of genius, Woodard could not have asked for a better result.
"It energized us," Woodard said. "A number of players that hadn't played made contributions. I was very proud of the way we played. It could do wonders for us … it really strengthened us. It always makes you look good when it turns out this way. I'm glad it worked out."
• NO LOSERS: With Lamar and Northwestern State both winning last week, no team will go winless in conference play, the first time that has happened in three years.
The last time the league was balanced enough to have multiple playoff teams and no one winless at the bottom was 2005, when Texas State and Nicholls reached the postseason.
• EVERYTHING'S COMING UP SLU: Southeastern Louisiana finds itself sitting in pretty good shape in the race for its first Southland title and the league's automatic bid to the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs.
Should the Lions lose to Sam Houston State in two weeks and end up in a three-way tie with the Bearkats and McNeese at 6-1, SLU would win the three-way tiebreaker because it has gone the longest since earning the league's auto bid — in this case, never.
The only path to the automatic berth for McNeese is to have SLU lose two of its three remaining games while the Cowboys win out.
Multiple human projections and computer models indicate the Cowboys are safely an at-large team if they win out regardless of how SLU fares.
The Lions travel to Central Arkansas this week.
• BLACK JACK? Sam Houston State is going for its 21st consecutive home victory Saturday when it hosts Nicholls. The Bearkats' streak is the longest in Division I, one game ahead of Michigan.
It will be senior day for the Bearkats, who will spend the final two weeks on the road.
• WELL, IT'S SOMETHING: Sometimes it's the little things in life that get you through the day. And after a third consecutive loss, Nicholls coach Charlie Stubbs found one of those things.
"It's the first time this year we've made all our PATs and field goal attempts here at Nicholls, so that's an accomplishment," Stubbs said.

Always, ALWAYS, care about the children, yours, ours, or their's. Children always count, period.
I will entertain arguments that che dhildren of illegals should be deported in the company of their parents, or that they should be allowed to stay here with their parents, or whatever. But never, ever, stop caring about what happens to children. Just don't go there.

it's too bad whenever children are traumatized, but that isn't the main point. Parents shouldn't put their children in this situation. THEY are taking the chance.
also, some of us went through the system legally and became citizens the legal way, and it is ridiculous that huge numbers of people feel they have the "right" to bypass this entirely.

on Mar 6, 2007 at 10:50 pm
As I said, I am not going to get into the rights and wrongs of the illegal immigration issue, that's a sticky wicket and I will stay out of it for now.
All I am saying is that it is right that we should care about the children. They often find themselves in situatoins that are not of thier making, and regardless of what their parents may or may not have done, we HAVE to give the children consideration. I was merely protesting the first comment, now removed, that basically said "Wh cares about the children." I was answering with "I care."

Lets see if this is considered offensive - if you murder someone, should the court consider the hardship on your wife and kids when calculating your sentence? Isn't that the same as worrying about the hardship of children of deported illegals? A crime is a crime.

I firmly stand behind the right of the PA Online to edit and remove posts. That being said, I read Citizen's original post (3/6/07), and although it was maybe a tad bit harsh, I didn't read it as trying to create a "flame war." It is an emotional issue, so I'm not surprised the post reflected some emotion.
Now, it is off topic, but Citizen mentioned a couple of users and their postings, and I completely agree with the fact that those postings are MUCH more inflamatory. I've mostly given up participating in threads that they post on, because what they say is pretty outrageous and tends to repeatedly and offensively target and frankly attack members of a particular religious group - the one that rhymes with "you-wish."

Silver, you are quite right. There does some to be some inconsistency in posts that are removed. I have read posts that are seemingly innocuous that later are removed, while those that don't seem to contribute anything to a reasoned debate - and might by some lights be considered racist - remain up (forever as you point out). I guess offensiveness is in the eye of the beholder - making me think that censorship should be done with a light touch.
Nonetheless, they have the right to do what they want, and overall this is a great resource and forum for Palo Alto, and a wonderful contribution to the community. Thank you for that, Mr. Johnson. Palo Alto is in your debt.

In an interview with ICE today, it was stated that detainees are asked if they are the sole caretaker of children, and if they say they are they are released. If this is true, perhaps someone can find out why they are not given credit for that.

The immigration authorities enforce U.S. immigration laws. All actions on the part of those authorities are legal and necessary in order to deter those individuals, some unfortunately with kids, who are planning on entering the U.S. illegally. It is not OK to do so and it is the parents of all the negatively impacted kids, not the immigration authorities, who should be blamed for any and all trauma that their own kids may experience. Perhaps all the illegals should take heed and return to their country of origin, apply for legal immigration status and end the chaos they haved caused their kids and this great country. There are avenues that allow them to immigrate legally and they should be required to follow those laws just like everybody else.
a resident of Charleston Meadows

Just because something is a law doesn't make it right. There was a time it was legal for people in America to enslave other people. There was a time it was legal to round up Jews and put them into concentration camps. There was a time it was legal to bind women's feet and to throw wives onto funeral pyres to burn with their deceased husbands. Laws are enacted by people in power to protect what they consider their self interest.
We need to constantly examine our country's laws to make sure they are in the interest of the public's welfare, to make sure they support the rights of children and families – not just the rights of select American citizens only. This was a country founded on the proposition that people were entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This is a right that should be extended to all people. If this government claims that it is fighting around the world to spread democracy, then it should be assumed that these ideals are what the government is spreading – laws that respect and honor the dignity of all people. As a minimum one would expect that they should at least be ideals given to those who live in this country.
Letting people live in this country for years, then taking away the property that they have worked hard for, putting children that they love and properly care for into foster homes and deporting them under cruel and inhumane circumstances does not reflect the enactment of just and humane laws, certainly not laws that are worthy of what America is supposed to stand for. Laws can be changed and some laws should be.

Two days ago I went into my best hive (production and gentleness) to collect the existing queen and use her to requeen an aggressive hive and then let the 1st hive build queen cells.
Well, too late. I knew one of my hives had recently swarmed but wasn't sure which one. It was this one. I found frames that have capped queen cells on them, couldn't find any queen. I quick got my new Brushy Mnt queen castle set up and put a frame of capped queen cells (2 cells were on each frame) and a frame of honey/pollen and it's adhering bees into 2 sections. None of the frames were as packed with bees as I'd like. I set up two sections of the castle this way.
Later I put a piece of tape over the entrances and have the box on bricks for ventilation. Yesterday I tried shaking bees from a different hive into one of the castles after misting with sugar syrup. That narrow area, seems more bees flew out or missed than went in.
As the cells are already capped, do I need to be concerned about amount of bees in there at this point?
Can I remove the tape today?
Any easier way of adding bees in the future?
I'm expecting some failure with this being my first try at my own queen rearing. Any advice is appreciated.
My area has a very good flow on right now and it should continue for another couple weeks if a storm doesn't ruin it. My strong hives have drawn and half filled medium supers in about 1 week time. All my hives have plenty of drones.

A Washington County, Tennessee judge dismissed a charge against a man accused of raping a woman.
Police accused Carlos Enrique Alegria of aggravated rape after the woman he was accused of attacking called 911 during the incident.
However, the alleged victim changed her story twice while on the witness stand during a preliminary hearing.
Assistant District Attorney General Justin Irick says that left the prosecution with few options. "Those statements did indeed, if they are true, absolve Mr. Alegria of being responsible for or guilty of aggravated rape, which is why the judge decided there was no choice but to dismiss the charges," he told us.
Alegria is still charged with resisting arrest. He's being held on a $1000 bond.

Oni is a new kind of third person action game that for the first time combines hand to hand combat and gunplay into a single, intense experience. Oni tells the story of Konoko, an elite cop and one-woman SWAT team whose approach to fighting crime is a devastating combination of rational calculation and fighting fury. She is an agent of the Tech Crimes Task Force - a woman whose tough exterior hides a soul haunted by dark secrets from her past called "oni" ("ghosts" or "demons" in Japanese). Oni's gameplay transports the player into the midst of an intense anime action thriller. Massive, futuristic cityscapes, indoor/outdoor environments and a huge variety of characters give it the sweeping scale of an adventure game, but the gameplay is pure action.
Interpolation allows one animation sequence to blend smoothly and instantaneously into other ones. In other third-person games, for example, a "run" animation must progress through its whole sequence before a "jump" can be executed, creating a delay between the player hitting the jump key and the character actually jumping. With interpolation, a run can turn into a jump at any time, making the character instantly responsive to player commands. Konoko can spring forward, tuck into a dive roll, and then pop up into a flying kick, all in one smooth, continuous movement with no delays or "popping" between animations.
Radiosity lighting effects paint the setting with natural light by modeling the complex way in which light bounces off of surfaces and creates natural luminosity gradations.
Oni features high polygon-count models. They range from about 800 polys for some of the more basic characters to around 1200 for the more central ones, like Konoko. Not only does this give the characters a greater range of possible

i need very URGENT help regarding one issue, i really hope you understand the situation and i guess you surely will.
i'm not trying to hack/break any privacy nor trying to have any fun with cracking things. trust me.
Someone has sent one controversial e-mail regarding one of my friends, to HUGE number of people on their email addresses.
The email ID from which the email was sent is a fake ID, probably only created for the purpose of mass mailing.
The letters of the email id contains the name of a person who is also a friend of us. and as he said, he didnot email anyone nor it is his email address.
We have managed to to get the headers and the ip address from which the mail was sent. but not been able to locate the place as ISP says it is a dynamic IP.
Need to ask you guys, How can you help me in finding the exact location of that IP, on the same date and time the mail was sent.
Please respond.
eagerly awaiting your reply.

Eastern District of Louisiana
August 24, 2011
KIM WILLIAMS, age 34, a resident of New Orleans, Louisiana; AMANDA JACKSON, age 55, and DANAY JACKSON, age 33, both residents of Harvey, Louisiana, each pled guilty today in federal court before U. S. District Judge Ivan L.R. Lemelle to one count of conspiring to commit federal program fraud while employed by Jefferson Parish Public School System (JPPSS). TRACY WALKER, age 41, a resident of Westwego, Louisiana, pled guilty to one count of misprision of a felony, announced U. S. Attorney Jim Letten. GISELLE SAVOY, a co-defendant, pled guilty to one count of conspiring to commit federal program fraud on July 14, 2011.
According to court documents, from February 2007 through September 2009, WILLIAMS and SAVOY submitted fraudulent payroll documents for themselves and co-defendants, AMANDA JACKSON, DANAY JACKSON and TRACY WALKER so that defendants received approximately $132,000.00 in supplemental pay and stipends from JPPSS' Louisiana Education Assessment Program (LEAP), Graduate Exit Examination (GEE) tutoring fund, Education Excellent (EE) fund as well as a general fund. The defendants were all employees of JPPSS but none were certified teachers or qualified to perform tutoring, testing, or remediation for JPPSS.
Speaking to today's convictions, United States Attorney Jim Letten stated:
"Today's convictions of four individuals who now stand convicted of involvement in the theft of funds from the Jefferson Parish Public School System is continuing, compelling evidence of our determination to fiercely protect the rights of our children to a quality public education free from corruption and abuse. As this investigation continues, we will continue on our course of zero tolerance for any public corruption, and for any abuses involving our educational system. My special thanks go out to our partners with the United States Secret Service, United States Department of Education, the Louisiana Electronic and Financial Crimes Task Force and the Jefferson Parish Sheriffs' Office."
Upon sentencing, scheduled for December 7, 2011 before Judge Ivan L.R. Lemelle, KIM WILLIAMS, AMANDA JACKSON and DANAY JACKSON, each face a maximum term of imprisonment of five (5) years, a $250,0000 fine, and three (3) years of supervised release following imprisonment.

The case was investigated by U. S. Secret Service, U.S. Department of Education, the Louisiana Electronic and Financial Crimes Task Force and the Jefferson Parish Sheriffs' Office. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U. S. Attorney Julia K. Evans.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees. (Associated Press)
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 02, 2013 7:15 PM
By Jim Gazzolo / American Press
The Saints now reportedly have the NFL's highest paid coach to go along with the highest paid quarterback.
If not, they are very close.
Not bad for a team that didn't make the playoffs this season and has never won a road postseason game.
Yet, their they are, the richest men in their professions.
The Saints rewarded both head coach Sean Payton and quarterback Drew Brees not for what they have won lately, but rather what they have done for the franchise.
In particular, how they not only saved a team but a city.
What would New Orleans look like had owner Tom Benson taken his team's talents to San Antonio, like many think he was going to do before Katrina hit town.
The Superdome itself might not even be standing. Or worse, it could be abandoned and looking a lot like the Houston Astrodome.
The eighth wonder of the world is now a wonder how it remains standing in Houston.
So for that, maybe the two are worth the cash. After all, it isn't our money.
But now, the two really are under the gun. If they thought there was pressure to win before, now it is multiplied about as much as their tax bracket.
It is true that money can't buy you happiness, but it should buy you a few wins in the world of sports.
Now the cash machine duo will be expected to lead the Saints back to the Super Bowl. It really comes down to that. When you ask for the big bucks, you have to expect even bigger expectations are going to follow.
And, after suffering through the bounty scandal, a 7-9 season and a host of other off-field issues, Saints fans want to return to where they were not so long ago: among the NFL elite.
When it comes to rubbing elbows with other pro football franchises that win, the Saints are new money. One Super Bowl title doesn't get you a table with the big boys, but at least it gets you in the front door.
But when Benson decided to pay both Payton and Brees, he told the NFL establishment that he was never willing to go to the days when the Saints were terrible and the fans wore bags over their heads to hide the shame.
He liked being important. He liked being in the room with the big boys. So he spent his money like a sailor on shore leave, hoping it does lead to more wins and does lead his franchise and city back to football's promised land.
Don't think for a minute that everybody else wasn't watching.
All the other quarterbacks were anxious to see just what one Super Bowl title was worth on the open market. Eli Manning has two and doesn't make what Brees makes. Same with Tom Brady who has three.
Then there are the other coaches, watching to see what Payton finished with. There are those out there now making less who have won more.
And the other owners, they watched as both Brees and Payton played chicken with Benson and won. This, despite the fact they never really tested the open market.
The pressure to re-sign the two didn't come from the outside world but rather Benson's own belief that he needed the two to keep himself important in New Orleans.
Without Payton and Brees the Saints are ... well, a lot closer to the Kansas City Chiefs than any New Orleans fan would dare to admit, or even want to think about.
So Benson kept the pressure off himself and put it back on the two who broke the bank.
It has been five years since the Saints won their Super Bowl. Few fans allow a team to play that long on credit.
Now, Saints fans have to hope Benson's bucks pay off before the club hits its own fiscal cliff.

After a first round bye, the Turlock National Little League Majors champion Rockies dominated the Mariposa Reds, 13-1, at Soderquist field on Thursday to advance to the championship game of the Tournament of Champions.
It was a blistering hot day last Saturday with temperatures reaching well over the triple digit mark in the Valley as the Turlock Seadogs placed first in the Oakdale Invitational with a score of 1,575, while the second place Ripon squad trailed by over 100 points. It is the second time this season that the Seadogs have won an invitational.
The American Little League majors champion Tigers defeated the National League champion Rockies 11-1 on Saturday at Julien Field for the Turlock Little League City Title.
The Rivercats from the Turlock American Little League Minors won their second consecutive city title after defeating the National League champion Thunder, 7-2, on Saturday at Julien Field.
The Tigers have won the Turlock American Little League Majors title after lighting up the scoreboard against the Indians, 22-10, at Julien field in a game that started on Tuesday night and was carried into Wednesday.
Turlock Youth Wrestling Club coaches Andy York and Lucas Solarez saw major successes and improvements this year in their athletes, who range in age from 5 to 13.
The Rockies have won the Turlock National Little League title for the second straight season after shutting out the Dodgers in the finals, 8-0, on Saturday at Soderquist Field.
There is still no champion for the American Little League Majors, after Tuesday night's final game of a doubleheader was continued due to time.
It was a typical warm summer day in the Valley, perfect for swimming as the Turlock Seadogs defeated the smaller and up and coming Modesto squad on Saturday by a score of 1,414 to 318 at Turlock High.
It was 1-1 until the final inning, when the mighty Twins did all they could and forced the Tigers pitching to walk five and allow eight unanswered runs to take the 9-1 victory in the first round of the American Little League Majors playoffs on Thursday.
The Dodgers of the Turlock National Little League Majors have another shot at the top seeded Rockies, after defeating the Marlins, 12-5, in the semi-finals. The Dodgers nailed Thursday's win after a hot fifth inning rally that saw five runs scored.
The Dodgers' late rally on Monday in the second round of the Turlock National Little League Majors playoffs was not enough to overcome their four run deficit as the defending champion Rockies kept their cool in the final inning to close out the 7-5 victory and move on to the championship game Saturday at Soderquist field.
The Turlock Seadogs summer swimming program placed first out of six teams at the Tracy Invitational, taking the tournament by storm and for the first time in the program's history coming home as victors. The Seadogs dominated the meet by 50 or more points, a tremendous feat in the swimming world. Swimmers ranged in age from 3 up to 18, and the Seadogs took 122 representatives out of its 180 strong squad.
The Turlock National Little League had a spectacular season this year with plenty of entertainment on both the offense and defensive sides of the ball.
The season began as it has concluded - with a ton of high powered offense coming from both the majors and also the minors side of the Turlock American Little League. With only one weekend left of action for the regular season, players are preparing for the postseason.

That's what I expected them to say. Others, however, said things like "oh, no thanks, we exterminate honey bees". I thought there were laws of some sort against exterminating them... something to do with the feral population being endangered. Did I make this up?
