It's kind of begging for recognition.
This blog has documented my second child (coming in the midst of my Masters coursework), my reemergence into society after becoming a hermit of motherhood, horrific social skills, my joining of MamaPop and The Mouthy Housewives, my first two BlogHers, our frickin' EPIC move from NY to TX, and, of course, the very many and terrifying ways Texas has tried to kill both myself and my family.
Ain't that somethin'
Anyway, I thought we'd take a look back at the images from the past year or so. See all gajillion of the photos after the jump...
|This was the time I got an enema in front of my new neighbors.
|And the time we had cute bunnies in the backyard until T9 started finding and PLAYING WITH rabbit poop.
|The delivery of a snake to our front door by an asshole bird.
|Buying a house triggered my newborn PTSD.
|Wall-E is from Texas.
|The start of my most favorite Twitter exchange EVER...see below.
HAHAHAHHA.Ahhh, vaginas.
|Then I finally found a Texas hairstylist...
|And I totally hated it.
|And then I went to San Diego for BlogHer and this was the only picture I took.
|Who can forget the day I was maybe almost in a porno movie?
|Or the Fort Worth Zoo that comes with THOUSANDS of aggressive, killer bee hybrids!
|Then I got to meet Ms. Yvonne of Yo Mama's Blog. We went to see Duran Duran. It was hot.
|And the Internet tried to tell me a freak show.
|Which...my husband seemed to agree with when he told me my freckles make me look like a member of this family.
|And, look! We got to wear long sleeves in Texas once!
|And I got dressed up and went out in public once!
|At Christmastime, we unwittingly drove to the rich area of North Texas to buy a Christmas tree.
|We thought that maybe Texas imported them from the Alps.
|Forever Lazy. 'Nuff said.
|Then there was my infatuation with skinny jeans.
|They still don't make me look like this.
|Followed by the time I began to wonder if my home was haunted.
|Which T9 seemed to confirm.
|So I did the only logical thing and bought...ridiculous sneakers.
|Which is around the time the nightmares started.
|The I'VE LOST MY PASSPORT nightmares.
|Which was obviously my self-conscious telling me that I'd never make it out of Texas alive.
|Hey! Remember when I got kicked out of a contest! THAT WAS SO FUNNY!
|Then I had a birthday and forgot my age.
|And my cat came down with an emotional problem.
|And I witnessed UFOs SHUT UP YOU WEREN'T THERE.
|And we had to fire our bug man.
|And this was spotted nearby.
|Then my husband nearly made us millionaires.
|But it didn't work out.
|And OMFG toddler soccer.
|We basically dressed up to go sit on the sidelines in the blistering heat.
|And then I'm reminded that my house may be haunted.
|Oh, and, HEY! I still have Dr. Bill Sears' frickin' PHONE NUMBER!
|Oh, and I converted to a Texas Rangers fan...and appear to be getting cancer on my nose.
|And one time I went to Anthropologie and realized I am way old.
|Which wasn't worse than the time my boys and I were ABDUCTED, for like, 3 minutes.
|And Plus One revealed he likes the smell of toxins.
|Then there was the wasp confrontation.
|And, um, the demon bug. Ahem.
|Which may or may not have left an egg sac behind for us.
|And this Butterfly of Death paid us a visit, which was nice and foreboding.
|But then some Texan threw a donut at my husband, and all seems right with the world again.
Thanks for reading, friends! Here's to another 500 posts. (If Texas doesn't kill us first.)

188 miners to be laid off in Buchanan County
BUCHANAN COUNTY, Va. - CONSOL Energy announced in a press release Friday that they will be reducing the operating schedule at the Buchanan Mine, resulting in the lay-offs of 188 employees.
We're following this story closely and will have more information online and this evening on News 5 WCYB.
The full press release is as follows:
"CONSOL Energy has announced it will reduce the operating schedule at its Buchanan Mine in southwest Virginia to two production shifts per day effective immediately.
The announcement is in keeping with first quarter earnings results reported earlier this week, and previous guidance issued which noted that the company was prepared to exert continued production discipline, as needed, to align with current global met coal market conditions. The action will result in the lay-off of 188 employees, including 39 salaried employees and 149 hourly employees. Employees were notified of the operating schedule change earlier today. The mine will operate with two production shifts per day, down from three. Third shift operations will be limited to maintenance activities.
"Earlier this year, we completed work on a $24 million hoist upgrade project to increase efficiency at our Buchanan Mine," commented CONSOL Energy Chief Operating Officer – Coal Division Jimmy Brock. "The mine is well-positioned for a return to higher production levels when market demand and pricing rebound."
Buchanan's longwall mine typically produces approximately 400,000 tons per month of metallurgical grade coal used in steelmaking. Buchanan shipped 1.1 million tons in the first quarter, 489,000 tons of which were distributed to Chinese customers. Production at the mine will be adjusted as a result of the operating schedule changes.
While on the demand side, thermal coal demand has improved, met coal demand, particularly in Asia, has been slower to recover. The scheduling change is being made to control inventories and to align with metallurgical coal demand. The company will continue to monitor market conditions and respond accordingly."

Date of Stay: September, 2016
This is a older campground in need of some updates. The main bathroom is at the front entrance and midway in the campground is two separate single unit shower/toilet bathrooms. There is a train that right by the campground which woke us all up in the middle of the night. But the bright side is it's a good place for kids.
Date of Stay: July, 2016
Good park but the price was a bit pricey for this campground.
Date of Stay: July, 2016
This is a very clean and top notch campground. The service was excellant. They even let you use the grills.
Date of Stay: July, 2016
This campground is fabulous. Very well shaded nice layout and the rangers are very helpful. I was that a neighbor was going to take his dog for a walk about 7:00 am in the mourning when he looked out the front of his motorhome when a black bear was walking right down the road in the middle of the campground...YIKES!!!!
Date of Stay: June, 2016
This is a great family campground with lots of activities for kids. I would have gave better reviews but the sites are small and some of the sites have aging electrical pedestals. My electrical prong was arching in the box and they told me I was drawing to much amperage...well if that was the case it seems like it would have tripped there 30 amp breaker which it did not. Also no firepits at sites.
Date of Stay: August, 2014
We just stayed at this campground and were happy with it. Close to town which is a plus for us because have friends who live there. We stayed on the west side campground which had plenty of shade. The campsite was a little on the small side but we squeezed in there. I would have gave a better rating but the water has tremendous amount of iron in it which they told us it was safe. Bring a lot of bottled water with you if you stay here.
Date of Stay: July, 2014
This was our first time we stayed here and probably will not return. The owners are constantly hounding you about the rules. She told us about the speed limit at 5 mph and when you see her on her golf cart she exceeding that. Heck even the hay wagon was going faster than that. When I checked in she told me I had to leave at 12 noon because someone was renting the site...they down make you feel welcome. The park was clean and well kept up though.
Date of Stay: April, 2014
We thought it would be a good idea to check this campground out before we reserved a site and I'm glad we did just that. This is a older campground which could use a lot of updating. Yes, it looks and sounds great for the younger families with smaller trailers but that's about it. The roads are dirt so when it rains it gets mucky. They were working on the campgrounds and I do admit that when we visited it was there first day after a ruff winter. Also, there was a faint smell of cow manure in the air.
Date of Stay: August, 2012
We stayed here for Labor Day weekend and the internet was down for the weekend we were there. I guess they ordered a part two weeks ago. The pinball machines weren't working and the campground will not refund your lost money. The roads are all gravel and dusty. It is on a busy road with road noise.
Date of Stay: August, 2012
This was a well kept up campground...the workers that run the place are very helpful about the local area. Lots of shade. The only bad I can see about this place is poor reception on the TV and the water pressure is a little weak. I would most definitely stay again. We stayed here for eight nights.
Date of Stay: May, 2012
Nice park but you'll need leveling blocks here. The playgrounds needs updating...the swimming pool is average and most of the sites are small with alot of fireplace ashes mixed in with the dirt. would I stay here again?...probably not
Date of Stay: March, 2012
This is a good campground but quite aways from Gatliburg. Overall it's a good value for the money. I would have said it's a great campground but like all the other campgrounds that are along Highway 321 the road noise is terrible and all the locals need a new muffler
Date of Stay: September, 2011
Good place to camp if your visiting Frankenmuth or to go shopping at Birch Run Outlets.

Dear PoPville,
I find a major flaw with the AlertDC email notices is that my gmail will only recognize them as spam. I've tried filtering the messages but can't find a reasonable way to make never send them to spam. It looks like they all come from a different email address. I'm assuming others might have this issue and I'm wondering if anyone has found a way around this?

Originally posted on NESN.com | Last updated 2/20/13
The arc on Paul Pierce's jump shot flattened out and the bounce in Kevin Garnett's legs on second efforts disappeared as the second half wore on. By the end, when the two proud Celtics combined to shoot 1-for-7 from the field in the fourth quarter of an arduous loss to the Nuggets, almost nobody in a green jersey had anything left to give. The fact that every Celtic save Garnett had a five-day break thanks to last weekend's All-Star festivities was meaningless. The thin air of the Rocky Mountains tests the lungs of even the fittest athletes if they are not accustomed to the altitude. When the Celtics were unable to pull away early despite clearly coming out of the gate as the sharper team, it became inherently obvious that they were headed for something resembling the eventual 97-90 outcome. This is how it will be for the Celtics the rest of the season. Prior to the All-Star break, Celtics coach Doc Rivers referenced this five-day western road trip that opens the unofficial second half of the season, but that may only have been a distraction from the bigger challenge that lies ahead. The Celtics play 18 of their final 30 games on the road. That road-heavy schedule might be the Celtics' biggest obstacle in continuing their run of success in the wake of season-ending injuries to Rajon Rondo, Jared Sullinger and Leandro Barbosa. Playing on the road presents its natural problems, not all of which are obvious to the general public. The travel in itself can be grueling, especially when there are quick turnarounds like matchups in Denver and Los Angeles on consecutive nights or a string of five games in five cities in just a seven-day span. The itinerant existence leads to further fallout with an impact that can be more subtle, but just as critical. Between red-eye flights and early-morning check-ins at hotels, there is little time if any for practice, meaning the execution gets duller. The environmental shifts cannot be discounted, either. After leaving Denver on Tuesday, the Celtics spend five days getting accustomed to the air at sea level or below before heading back into the mountains with a trip to Salt Lake City. If you think shuffling between altitudes should not be hard on a person's cardiovascular system, we invite you to try it some time. Just play it safe and bring a defibrillator. Most teams prefer to play at home, but some teams are equipped to have the same level of success anywhere. The Celtics are not one of those teams. They have not been so far, anyway, going 8-16 on the road this season. That mark puts them dead in the center of the Eastern Conference in terms of road record, but among presumptive playoff teams it is dead last. The explanation for those road woes seem to be psychological more than anything. These Celtics thrive on the passion of "The Jungle," as Garnett affectionately refers to TD Garden, and some of their most inexplicable losses — Detroit, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Charlotte — have come in arenas not known for their energy. Generating excitement should be no problem at the Staples Center on Wednesday or in trips to Portland or Utah early next week, but not every setting comes with built-in oomph. To continue the run of success they have had since Rondo's injury, the Celtics will have to find a way to manufacture energy even in buildings without any buzz. If they cannot be in the atmosphere of the Garden, they will have to carry the atmosphere of the Garden in them. Have a question for Ben Watanabe?

Reviews for Mocha Cinnamon Coffee
Reviewed Jan. 11, 2011
"My husband and I love to get gourmet coffees from the coffee shop but the price keeps it from being a regular treat. This recipe is an easy at home alternative. We both really loved it!"
Reviewed Mar. 8, 2010
"I really enjoyed this coffee, but when making the coffee, I used a "medium roasted" coffee rather than dark roasted, and the brand I used was, Folger's Gourmet Selections Lively Columbian Medium Roast. I also cut therecipe in half, but did add about 3/4 to 1 tsp of the vanilla extract. Be sure this coffee is good and hot when serving, as the whipped cream does cool down the coffee somewhat.For all those coffee lovers out there, I highly recommend this recipe. This is one coffee others will certainly enjoy. "Thank you" Bernice for sharing this recipe. It's a keeper!!"

Marshawn Lynch returned to his Berkeley roots on Saturday to attend Cal's spring football game. But Lynch didn't just watch the game as a spectator — he actually participated. Lynch suited up with a helmet and pads and actually rushed for a touchdown during the game. He told the Pac-12 Network's Mike Yam that he was asked if he would play in the game, and he said yes. "It was a little mix. My boy KP asked me if I would do it, I got his back," Lynch told Yam. Lynch may have been referring to Kevin Parker when he said "KP." Parker is the program's assistant director of player personnel and has been with the program for over a decade. "I actually kinda felt pretty good out there knowing that this is home," said Lynch. Lynch was a two-year starter at Cal. He scored 10 touchdowns and rushed for 628 yards backing up J.J. Arrington during his freshman season in 2004. He had 1,371 yards from scrimmage and 10 touchdowns in 2005, and 1,684 yards and 15 touchdowns in 2006, when he was named the conference offensive player of the year. Cal had its best three-year stretch in over 50 years during Lynch's career. They went 28-9 those three seasons, and they have gone 39-37 since. His coach at Cal, Jeff Tedford, was fired after the program's downward spiral culminated with a 3-9 season last year. Lynch is hoping the program can turn it around under new coach Sonny Dykes. "They were struggling, but I hope this regime turns it back into what it was when I was here," said Lynch. Lynch, along with former Cal teammate Aaron Rodgers, has gone on to have a successful NFL career. After being drafted by the Bills in 2006 and spending three and a half seasons in Buffalo, he was traded to the Seattle Seahawks where he has blossomed and reached consecutive Pro Bowls. Another nice aspect of Lynch's appearance in the spring game is that they had him wear jersey No. 10 like he did in college. Lynch also wore jersey No. 24 during his freshman season, which has been his number most of his pro career.

Canadian auto sales may be record high in 2013: industry
By Solarina Ho
TORONTO (Reuters) - Canadian vehicle sales could reach an all-time high this year, topping the near-record 1.7 million vehicles the industry sold in 2012, automotive executives said on Thursday.
Pent-up demand from the recent recession, rising employment and a wave of new models are driving sales for the Canadian units of the Detroit Three as well as other foreign-based automakers, analysts have said.
"The Canadian industry is a very mature market, but I think we believe it will top 1.7 million for the next two to three years," Dave Gardner, vice president of sales and marketing at Honda, told Reuters at Canadian International Auto Show. "That's a pretty robust market."
General Motors of Canada, a subsidiary of General Motors Co (GM.N: Quote), forecast industry growth of 2 to 3 percent, while Chrysler, a unit of Fiat SpA's Chrysler LLC FIA.MI, expects growth to be "plus or minus 2 to 3 percent" for the full year.
The Canadian market is fairly stable relative to 2012, said Reid Bigland, Chrysler's Canadian chief executive.
Ford of Canada, a unit of Ford Motor Co (F.N: Quote), is expecting the industry to exceed the record 1.73 million units sold in 2002 and could reach 1.76 million in 2013, said Dianne Craig, the unit's chief executive.
Ford was the top-selling automaker in Canada for the third year in a row in 2012 while Chrysler, which was in third place in 2011, knocked GM from the No. 2 spot.
The bullish comments follow strong January sales for the Detroit Three, both in Canada and in the United States. Sales south of the border outpaced the broader U.S. economic recovery as a growing number of consumers replace their aging cars and trucks. Continued...

Aussie journo critically ill
The brother of one of Australia's most promising young racecallers, Matthew Hill, has flown out of Melbourne to be with the critically ill journalist who has been struck down with "aggressive pneumonia" while covering the Beijing Olympics.
Hill's brother Tim flew out this afternoon as a specially chartered aircraft, with a medical team engaged by the Australian Embassy and Australian Olympic Committee and the Macquarie Network, arrived in Beijing to evacuate Matthew to a Hong Kong hospital, Radio 2GB spokeswoman Antonia O'Neill said.
Hill, 27, of Melbourne, fell ill with heat stress soon after the blistering conditions of the opening days of Olympic competition while working for the accredited broadcasters Macquarie Network.
Ms O'Neill said Hill, a race caller employed by Sky Channel, had been contracted by Radio 2GB to call some of the events during the Olympics.
While he appeared to recover after being rehydrated, Hill's condition rapidly deteriorated last night.
Ms O'Neill said Hill had been placed in an induced coma and had been diagnosed with "aggressive pneunomia" in both lungs.
Australian Olympic team doctor Peter Baquie and experts from St Vincents Hospital in Sydney have been working with local Chinese doctors to help Hill. Ms O'Neill said that with the assistance of the Australian Embassy the Chinese Government had given special clearance for the specially equiped medical evacuation aircraft to land and fly Hill to Hong Kong.
Australian chef de mission John Coates said: "This is not because of the quality of treatment in Beijing, far from it, but because the hospital in Hong Kong has specialised equipment Hill may need.''
"We hope he pulls through, he is an Australian, we are giving him as much assistance as possible."
In 1999 Hill was the inaugural winner of the John Tapp Racecalling Scholarship.
Sky Channel said he is regarded as a key presenter and "an exciting, accurate young racecaller".
Prime News sports journalist Nat Wallace said Hill had risen quickly to become one of Australia's most respected race callers.
"He is not only good at his job, he is well respected and well liked from the stewards, to the jockeys, to the trainers and that's something he's achieved in a short space of time," Wallace said.
Wallace said he met Hill when both journalists were in their late teens and breaking into the industry.
He said Hill had worked with Sky Racing since 2000 after being awarded a scholarship with the station.
"He's always been that sort of guy that you knew would make it to the top in race calling and sports broadcasting in general," he said.
Wallace said Hill had been excited to follow in the footsteps of his hero Bruce McAvaney and have the opportunity to commentate at the Olympics.
"It was a big step for him and he was really looking forward to it, especially the equestrian events, it's just really unfortunate what's happened," he said.
About a year ago, Wallace said he had filled in for Hill at a Broadmeadows race meet after he collapsed before the last two races ran.
He said he understood Hill may have been affected by Beijing's stifling heat.
"He always tried so hard and it seems the conditions over there have affected some of the athletes as well as some of the commentators," Wallace said.
"I spoke to him in the lead-up to the Olympics and he was really excited about it and wide-eyed. He couldn't wait for the opportunity."

Looking for breeder(s) in Michigan
I am thinking of adding a new GSD to my family over the summer. I have owned several GSDs previously. The breeder I am most familiar with will not have pups avail this summer, any ideas? Looking for solid build and stable temperament. Will be doing tracking, obedience, rally, agility, and therapy dog work. No IPO or Schutzhund, so no high drive. I really love the dark red & black coloring of the East German lines. Any ideas?? Thanks!
Black and Red is the hallmark of West German Show Lines, not East German lines. East German/DDR dogs do occasionally come in black/tan, but not the sort of coloring you are probably picturing and sable, black and bi-color are far more common in those lines. So if black/red is the coloring you prefer you are probably going to be looking at show lines, not DDR lines. As far as temperament and the activities you wish to pursue, a good dog from a good breeder of either bloodline type can work nicely.
I bet if you followed some of these links you could get ideas. I'd also do email & phone calls.

Isn't Julie in Michigan? Alta-Tollhaus German Shepherd Dogs
Julie is in Michigan. I love my alta tollhaus puppy. Julie was great to work with as well. Defiantly worth checking out.
I'm not sure what their plans are, but I had a breeder friend that I really trust suggest this kennel to me awhile back:
Royale Shepherds - Home
This was YEARS ago when she mentioned them, but the woman I know is really in to West German dogs and is really passionate about health testing and temperament, so I know she wouldn't suggest someone she didn't trust to produce stable, healthy dogs. Good luck! :)
Thanks for the tips, guys. Yes, I mis-typed East German when I meant West German (old lady typing, sorry!). I did check out Alta-Tollhaus, and I do have a Royale Shepherd at home now (who is wonderful, I would recommend Royale to anyone!). Gail's spring pups look awfully nice, but I might not be ready that early. Haven't heard back yet on a later litter from her.

3 Days in Rio de Janeiro
Rio for Begginers
One Day in Rio de Janeiro
Had breakfast 3 days in a row. Great food, good place to read the paper or plan the day's activities
Enjoyed breakfast here on a sunny Sunday. Very busy indeed but I think that's a positive, we had to wait a while, but it was worth it and we had great omelettes and coffee! I can't enjoy all the delicious looking breads but I would have like to. Very tricky to get GF options in Brazil.
This restaurant is directly across from the General Osario subway stop (exit A or B) and on the corner of Visconde Paraja, not far from where we were staying. So, of course we tried it one evening. It is small and they were quite full but after about 10 minutes they seated us on their small but nice patio. Service...
We at here three times on our recent trip to Rio - once for lunch and twice for dinner. The good food at reasonable prices and friendly service kept us coming back.
We really enjoyed their pasta dishes and the profiteroles were delicious. The cafe/restaurant is small so not a good place if you have a large group. Best for...
Just a little hole in the wall corner cafe right across the street from the open air market we stopped in for lunch. It was the best food we had in our two weeks in Brazil. We were lucky to get in before the crowds, but be prepared for a wait. It's worth it!
Wonderful little gem in Ipanema. The restaurant is small, but bright and friendly. The food is excellent! I've been twice. The first time I had an omelette and it was great. The second time I had the dourado fish and it was really good. The only catch is that the restaurant is small and fills up quickly.
The best cost benefit in the neighborhood. The salads, dishes and pastries are excellent and exquisite, and the prices are very reasonable. My favorite are squid and octopus salads, the lobster, and the fish made in a salt crust. The place also serves breakfast up to 11 a.m. and my favorites are the open omelets and the pancakes.
For three weeks we walked from our hotel in Copacabana to Ipanema, following the beach. Invariably, we ended in Terzetto by 5PM. We went to the counter and chose a selection of snacks, like octopus, mussels, grilled eggplant and caponata, all marinated in olive oil, all exquisitely prepared. We accompanied this with a glass of 8 years-old Johnny Walker (me)...
This is a good place to stop and have some coffee or juice. The place looks pretty generic but it did have one of the better cups of coffee that I had in Rio. That might be more of a comment on the coffee you can get in Rio more than anything else. The juice and panini I had there...
My mom and I went to this place for lunch because it was on our way. We ordered risotto with sea food and pasta. First, it's a very overpriced place especially for the quality of food they offer. Risotto looked like porridge, as if they cooked the rice several hours. No decoration on the plate, no basil leaf of any...

Some quotes from hallway and locker room interviews:
Sean Miller:
"Losing in this tournament is hard," Miller said. "When you lose a game to go to the Final Four…it's a different feeling than if we were going to Houston right now. We had a shot to do it.
"But in time, we'll reflect back to our great times, great moments, a Pac-10 regular season championship. It's hard to win a championship. If our season had ended right after that we'd feel really good about our efforts."
Jamelle Horne:
"I'm just disappointed that last one didn't go down," Horne said. "It didn't work out. It doesn't always work out and it's unfortunate."
Arizona is planning to hold a http://www.arizonawildcats.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/032611aab.html" target="_blank">welcome back celebration at 11 p.m. at McKale. The Wildcats are expected to return via charter flight at about 9:30 or 10 p.m.
Here's a link to an http://www.arizonawildcats.com/sports/m-baskbl/stats/2010-2011/arizuconn.html" target="_blank">HTML version of the box score. I've also attached a PDF version to this thread.
Derrick Williams did not break Steve Kerr's single season three-point percentage record, after all -- because he missed his last shot. Williams finished at 56.8 percent, shy of Kerr's 57.3 mark, and if he had hit his final three, he would have been at 58.3 -- although he'd have to stay above Kerr's mark in the Final Four to take the record.
Here are is the http://www.asapsports.com/show_interview.php?id=70246" target= "_blank">transcript of podium interviews with Sean Miller, MoMo Jones and Derrick Williams.
Here's what http://www.asapsports.com/show_interview.php?id=70249" target= "_blank">UConn had to say.
Final: UConn 65, Arizona 63.
Jamelle Horne and Derrick Williams both missed three-pointers on UA's final possession.
Jesse Perry slammed down a dunk on an assist from Kyle Fogg on the left side with 7:17 to go, giving UA a 53-52 lead.
MoMo Jones was so wired into Derrick Williams' face after that one that he practically had to be pulled off the court and into a timeout huddle.
After Shabazz Napier gave the Huskies their biggest lead of the game, 50-41, UA scored six straight points, getting a reverse layin from MoMo Jones, a steal-and-dunk from Jesse Perry and another dunk from Williams.
Arizona made it a 9-0 run when Kyle Fogg tied the game briefly with a three-pointer with 15:25 left, while Derrick Williams later scored on the baseline to give UA a 37-36 lead.
But UConn came back with a 7-0 run of its own, capped by a three-pointer from Jeremy Lamb that made it 43-37.
Jesse Perry and his teammates took advantage of a couple of nice openings inside. Williams passed him the ball from the perimeter for a dunk that made it 34-29 and then Solomon Hill did a short flip to Perry from the left of the basket, and Perry put it in to cut UConn's lead to 34-31 with 17:16 to go.
Some first-half stats: UA shot 29.7 percent from the field and made only 1 of 11 three-pointers but outrebounded UConn 25-19. Nine Wildcats attempted three-pointers but only (guess who) Derrick Williams made one.
UConn blocked six shots.
Solomon Hill had seven rebounds, six over the first five minutes.
Arizona outscored UConn 16-6 in the paint and had eight second-chance points to UConn's three.
But the stats that hurt the most: Derrick Williams had three fouls and UA had only four bench points.
Halftime: UConn 32, Arizona 25. Superman is stuck in the booth.
Williams picks up foul No. 3 in almost no time, whistled for what appeared to be unnecessary contact. He's back on the bench, probably for the rest of the half.
Derrick Williams is checking back in with 6:19 to go, having sat out just over four minutes after picking up his second foul midway through the half.
UConn's Shabazz Napier gave the Huskies their first lead, 19-18 with 7:43 to go after he nailed a three-pointer and then, on UA's ensuing possession, stole the ball near midcourt from MoMo Jones and took it in for a layup.
Arizona had led by up to eight points earlier in the half.
Jordin Mayes broke a string of 10 straight three-pointers made with a miss at the 13:29 mark.
UA is making only 35 percent of its shots through the first nine minutes but UConn is just 2 of 10 and UA is still hammering the Huskies on the boards with a 15-7 advantage.
UA held UConn without a field goal for the first four and half minutes and held a 11-5 lead at the first media timeout (15:00).
UA has a 10-4 rebounding edge, with Solomon Hill grabbing six of them.
That's more than a rebound per minute...
Probably 75-80 percent UA fans in the house. The restaurants leading up Katella en route to the Honda Center were packed with red and blue.
Arizona entered the game 0-4 against Connecticut and has lost its last two NCAA regional finals: To Illinois in 2005 and to Kansas in 2003. The 78-75 loss to Kansas came in the same Anaheim arena, then known as the Pond.

Police Show Video Of Cussing Baby To Highlight "Thug Culture"
The Omaha Police Officers Association is facing criticism and backlash over the recent posting of a video that contains footage of a black toddler using profanity. The officers evidently used this video as an example of what they refer to as, "the thug cycle." The footage appears to have been shot using a cell phone, and it appears that the officers came into possession of the footage after it was posted on Facebook by the toddlers Uncle.
The video contains two relatives of the toddler who are cursing at each other as well as toddler in an attempt to teach him to curse back at them. Once the video was posted on the Omaha Police Officers Association website, a statement was posted to accompany the video that stated that the Association had an, "obligation," to share the video to illustrate the, "cycle of violence and thuggery that some young innocent children find themselves helplessly trapped in." Statements on the website go on to infer that the video is an example of the cycle of violence in their community is perpetuated and that stopping this cycle requires help from the entire community, not just from police officers.
An article posted by the Dailymail says that Omaha residents are angry about the footage being posted due to the fact that while the cursing toddler may be offensive and reflect poor parenting that there is not anything illegal actually taking place in the video. There is also a comment on the Associations website by a member of the law enforcement union that states that the user is ashamed that the video was posted due to the racist fashion in which the footage was used.
Members of the Omaha Police Officers Association believe that they had the leeway to make such a post due to the fact that they consider themselves separate from the police department. Regardless of their exact affiliation, the fact that the Association represents law enforcement officers means that they should not be allowed to make such racist inferences about a minor child who is simply mimicking behavior. A child could learn similar distasteful behavior by being exposed to certain television shows and other forms of media. Also, I am sure that there are children of all races who learn curse words by mimicking behavior that they have seen. For these law enforcement officers to make the racist assumption that this child will grow up to be a thug is completely inappropriate on their behalf, and this community should be outraged that they are being allowed to get away with making such racist and derogatory assumptions about a minor child simply because he is black.

He'll be on a different continent, but Oldham County junior Mikey Caudill won't have to wrestle any koala bears or kangaroos.
Caudill will represent Team USA as a 285-pound heavyweight in the Down Under Sports Wrestling Tournament July 2-10 in Surfers Paradise, Australia, after being selected to wrestle this fall.
Chris Pella, recruiting coordinator for Down Under Sports, describes the event as a goodwill tournament between the U.S., Australia and New Zealand to build up the wrestling programs in the latter two countries.
After 28 years in the Oldham County school district, Superintendent Paul Upchurch has announced he will retire in June.
Upchurch announced his decision Monday during the board of education meeting.
Upchurch became superintendent in 2005 after seven years leading the Elizabethtown Independent School District. Prior to Elizabethtown, Uphurch was both a teacher and principal for Oldham County Schools.
One major factor in the timing of his retirement are the changes coming with Kentucky Senate Bill 1, Upchurch said.

James Hooten, a service manager with Hargis Electric, LLC in Paris, Texas, found this mess at one of the local churches in his area of the country.
These exposed wires and connections and lack of a junction box lead me to believe this work was performed by an "unqualified" installer. We should consider the following basic rules in reviewing this installation.
As noted in 314.16 [Number of Conductors in Outlet, Device, and Junction Boxes, and Conduit Bodies], "Boxes and conduit bodies shall be of sufficient size to provide free space for all enclosed conductors. In no case shall the volume of the box, as calculated in 314.16(A), be less than the fill calculation as calculated in 314.16(B). The minimum volume for conduit bodies shall be as calculated in 314.16(C). The provisions of this section shall not apply to terminal housings supplied with motors or generators." An Informational Note at the end of this section directs us to 430.12 for volume requirements of motor or generator terminal housings.
In addition, the requirements in this section also note that "boxes and conduit bodies enclosing conductors 4 AWG or larger shall also comply with the provisions of 314.28."

Elton John Music On American Idol
Music from Legendary artist Elton John was chosen as the theme on American Idol last night. Elton has tons of great music and it seems the Idol contestants were up for the challenge! More after the Jump.
Scotty McCreery chose an obvious song for his performance: 'Country Comfort.' With his acoustic guitar, named Scarlet, in hand, McCreery performed with a pianist and a pedal-steel player. McCreery, like any seasoned veteran performer, gave his grandmother in the audience a shout out from the stage. Aw, how sweet, right?
Goodbye, bushy beard. Hello, reborn Casey. If there were one singer to nail the emotional aspects of Elton's music, it was Casey. Casey hit all the right notes with 'Your Song.' Haley Reinhart rose to the occasion with her rendition of 'Bennie and the Jets.' Side note- ( My first 45 was 'Bennie and The Jets.' )
Who will be voted off tonight? This will be a tough one!

Brad Anassis - 6 x SA Drag Champion
As usual I thought it was a sales pitch, but when my Dad said this is good sh&%t I took another look at the product. I ran the product on my Suzuki Hyabusa Drag bike to see if it would come off before trying it on my teams road racing superbikes. It did not come off and seems to keep the rear wheel spinning a lot longer on the rear stand. We will definitely be treating all our team motorcycles with GO at the start of the 09 season.
Jeff Ware: Editor Rapid Bikes Australia www.rapidbikes.com.au
A few things I noticed about the GO chain wax are listed below. I ran the the wax on our R1, ZX-10R, Hayabusa and FZ6 race bike. The ZX-10R is used to commute 250km per day and we ran the wax for two weeks. The R1 we used on the racetrack for a day and on the road ride of our comparo. The Hayabusa I used the wax at the Sport Compack Attack drag race meeting and the FZ6 cup bike raced at Winton Raceway.
We really gave the lube a good test and went through one and a half test bottles. Before application, the chains were cleaned using aerosol brake cleaner (same as contact cleaner or white spirits) so they were spotless.
No flick off at all really, so fantastic for clean wheels. I've never seen a lube that lives up to its claims of low fling off so that alone would be enough for most riders to buy it as cleaning wheels sucks. It is also much safer on the racetrack as it does not contaminate the rear tyre.
Although we did over 2000km in total over two weeks, the chain did not need adjusting on the ZX-10R nor on the Hayabusa after a day of drag racing
Virtually none. This is also amazing as most lubes are a pain, they attract sand and grit. We rode some back country road and a dirt section at Wollombi on the ZX-10R and no dirt stuck to the chain.
When applying using the squeeze bottle I dropped a fair bit of the lube on my brand new garage floor. Wiped off easy, most lubes need brake cleaner to get them off the concrete.
Branon White - USA Drag Racer (AHDRA National Number 7)
I wanted to drop a line and let you know that I received the lube and its great! No mess! Thanks again. "At 140 MPH I would not trust any other chain lube on my bike."
Deon Meyer - International novelist and passionate motorcyclist
We have tested the lube, and we're pretty impressed. By 'we', I mean the small Loxton enduro riding community – a KTM 450, a KTM 530, and my little KDX 220. What we really like about it, is the fact that the chain and sprockets stay free of grit (always a problem in the dusty Karoo), which not only cuts down on wear and tear, but on cleaning and maintenance as well. And, for my money, the application – getting the stuff on the chain - is a lot easier and cleaner than most other products too.
Dave Tindall - UK (www.mxcam.co.uk)
I raced on Sunday in deep mud, I applied the lube as directed and it worked really well. I applied it as directed and didn't need to re-apply for the rest of the races. I cleaned the bike up yesterday, and the chain has come up much cleaner as claimed.
The testing I have done so far includes mx in a variety of conditions from bone dry dusty conditions, through to heavy sandy mud. GO chain wax proved fantastic on all occasions. One point to note was; I put a brand new chain on two rides ago and applied the product, and still have not had to tighten the chain due to it stretching.
Went riding again yesterday and I was talking to a motorcycle shop manager who was also riding. We were speaking about lubes; he was using Putoline Aerosol lube and I was telling him about GO chain wax. Not convinced, he sprayed his chain with Putoline and I applied GO to my friend's bike. After the session:
Putoline lube was: a) all over the rim of his bike, b) all over the tyre, c) all over the swinging arm, d) a paste had formed on the rear sprocket full of dirt, e) the chain was bone dry.
Go Wax was: a) still lube on the chain, b) no paste on rear sprocket, c) no fling off whatsoever, d) now going in his shop.
It really blew him away with how well it performed.
Rocco Bonsma - Former Motocross racer and avid motorcyclist
I recently rode from the Western Cape to Underberg in KwaZulu-Natal on my Honda TransAlp – a seven day ride covering a distance of just short of 3000km and was mightily impressed with the performance of Go Chain Wax. The route comprised of about 70 percent dirt, 30 percent tar and included a variety of terrain, dry and wet conditions, and river crossings. Before leaving I lubed the chain with GO, and then at about the midway point at the beginning of day five I simply reapplied a little more as per the instructions. The chain remained well lubed and superbly clean throughout the trip all the way to the end, unlike anything else I have ever used in many years of riding motorcycles and unlike the chains of the other bikes on the ride with us. What impressed me further was that through the multiple river crossings there was no wash off of the lube and when I got home in addition to the chain being clean, there was minimal fling off leaving the wheel, swing arm and frame free of the muck that is so prevalent with other lubes I have used in the past.

Open and shut case
Here is a different kind of lost luggage story. We had just arrived back at Greenwich station, London, from a trip to Ireland. We were waiting for our son-in-law to pick us up with our luggage stacked in a bus stop shelter. When he arrived we loaded up our car and took off unaware we had left one bag behind. We had been home an hour when the phone rang. The gentleman on the phone asked if we were aware of a lost bag. We had a look and realised the bag was missing. Half an hour later he arrived with the bag, accepted our thanks, refused to take a reward and took off.
That bag contained two digital cameras and a movie camera, our passports and return tickets to Australia, some cash and a spare credit card! How lucky we were an honest person found it.

Don't drive like a flake
My advice to Graeme Miller (Traveller Letters, April 13-14) about driving in northern European winter conditions is that driving in freshly fallen snow is similar to driving in heavy rain - slow down and allow 10 times the distance for stopping; more dangerous is when snow has melted to slush and then freezes, usually overnight, creating an irregular, slippery surface - travel slowly.
Most dangerous of all conditions is black ice. This forms when a thin film of moisture on the road surface freezes and is virtually invisible. It is very slippery and, when encountered or if suspected, the best action is put the car in neutral, do not apply the brakes and coast to a very slow speed.
In slippery conditions be wary of roads with a steep camber. Studded tyres will give more traction and adhesion but can be a bit noisy on clear roads.
-Michael Plutte
Birthday blues
In response to Vicki Powell (Traveller Letters, April 20-21), I'd like to assure her that, in selecting Le Train Bleu in Paris as her birthday venue, she has chosen the perfect location. I have had two wonderful birthdays there and everything about the restaurant spells "celebration". It is a visual delight, transporting one back to La Belle Epoque, the food is "splendide" and the service is "par excellence".
-Sally Holt
We have dined at Le Train Bleu on two occasions and it is one of the best restaurants in Paris. The interior has to be seen to be believed while the food, the wine list and the service are all outstanding. My wife enjoyed her 40th birthday there and recommends that you try the smoked salmon as an entree. There are innumerable fine restaurants in Paris but no other has the ambience of Le Train Bleu.
-Philip Howe
In response to Vicki Powell's letter regarding restaurants in Paris, I would recommend Restaurant Le Taillevent, 15 rue Lamennais, 75008 Paris. The food, the service and the setting are amazing and it is a great place to celebrate a special occasion.
-David Loader
Advice to bank on
On a recent trip to South America I made two "discoveries" that might be of interest to readers planning a trip to Brazil and/or Argentina.
A) Brazilian banks will apparently not cash AMEX $US travellers' cheques. I tried to do so at one of the bank outlets at Rio's international airport and was referred to an AMEX exchange bureau at the far end of the domestic terminal, where I managed to cash my cheques for a fee of about $20.
B) Try to avoid changing money at an Argentinian bank, which will give you 5.1 pesos for $US1. In the streets of Buenos Aires, particularly Florida and Lavalle, listen out for murmurs of "Cambio, cambio, cambio" and you will get 8 pesos for your dollar.
You should also be aware that half of central Buenos Aires is currently being dug up and there are holes in the ground in many streets frequented by tourists.

text: Just got my 02 wrx a few months ago..when I first got it it felt like it wasnt boosting like it should was laggy and wouldnt maintain boosting as i was driving. after a month or so it stopped giving me problems and then another month goes by and it threw me a check engine light. i never got to get it read and the CEL went away eventually..which is REALLY strange to me because Ive owned volkswagens and a CEL is almost always a staple on them and they dont just GO away,and i didnt disconnect the battery or anything. car started lagging again, went off, drove fine, and now I did an oil change and oil filter change a few weeks ago and since then its been lagging again and the CEL came back on, went off for a day, drove about 30 miles, and came back on and has been on since. it also starts shaking after i hit 60 mph but then it stops eventually. Me and my boyfriend know NOTHING about subarus and was wondering if this was a common issue or if anyones had similar issues and what the deal was? the cars got HIGHHH mileage (200xxx) on it and Im pretty sure it had/has all sorts of mods, I dont know whats still on it and whats not, it has STI stickers all over it and two boost gauges. it also has aftermarket switches all over it and a a long rubber tube coming from by my windshield wipers which falls down to the left side of my motor. other than that the car runs amazing and handles like a dream. I really wish I knew the guy who had this car before me because I just want to know whats up with the car and I dont trust a word from the dealership I got it from. So if anyone can give some advice or maybe what they think is up before I can get the code read thatd be awesome. :-D

Valentine's Day Films: We're That Into Catherine Deneuve
When the best Hollywood can offer as a VDay-themed date movie is He's Just Not That Into You , the work of a true dreamer like Jacques Demy tugs at the heart even more. Demy's extraordinary The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964) is a heartbreaking love story in which every syllable is sung, with the director's dialogue set to the music of frequent collaborator Michel Legrand. This opulent feast for the eyes and ears -- romantic but never maudlin -- might be best described as a lollipop-hued melodrama darkened by the loss of youthful ideals. The hopeful lovers of the story are Guy (Nino Castelnuovo), a mechanic who lives with his ailing godmother, and Genevieve (Catherine Deneuve), a proper jeune fille, who helps her widowed mother run her pastel-striped-umbrella shop. When their plans for marriage are thwarted by Guy's summons for military duty in Algeria, Genevieve croons the film's best-known song, "I Will Wait for You," one of the most wrenching accounts of heartache set to music. But she can wait only so long: Pregnant with Guy's child but feeling forgotten by him, Genevieve succumbs to her mother's wishes and marries a financially secure merchant. Guy returns to Cherbourg bitter and angry, but finds some happiness with his aunt's caretaker. Years later, Guy and Genevieve see each other by chance at his snow-blanketed Esso station, their youthful exuberance now supplanted by adult resignation. Cherbourg was Demy's greatest success: It won the Grand Prix at Cannes in 1964 and made Catherine Deneuve, only 20 at the time of the film's release, an international star. "He was the first real filmmaker that I met," Deneuve once said of Demy, who would make three more films with the actress. But Demy was more than a filmmaker -- he was a creator of an inimitable cinematic world of sumptuous colors, exquisite music and ever-flowing tears. For those who prefer to remain dry-eyed on St. Valentine's Day, check out the Thelma Ritter comedy double-bill at the UCLA Film and Television Archive: George Cukor's The Model and the Marriage Broker and Mitchell Leisen's The Mating Season (both from 1951). One year after her indelible performance as the wisecracking Birdie in All About Eve , Ritter shows in both films why she's one of American cinema's greatest character actresses, delivering zingers that pierce like Cupid's arrow. The Umbrellas of Cherbourg : New Beverly, 7156 Beverly Blvd., L.A.; Fri.-Sat., Feb. 13-14; $7, $6 students; $4 seniors & children; www.newbevcinema.com; Thelma Ritter films: Billy Wilder Theater, Courtyard Level, Hammer Museum, 10899 Wilshire Blvd., Westwood; Sat., Feb. 14, 7:30 p.m.; $9.

Driving Under the Influence
Driving Under the Influence of alcohol or drugs is a very serious offense. When you commit a DUI, you not only put yourself and others in danger, but also open up the floodgates for a world of financial and legal hardship.
According to the Department of Motor Vehicles website, the limit for Blood Alcohol Content level is 0.08% for adults 21 and over. If you are driving a commercial vehicle, the BAC is 0.04%. If you are under 21, the BAC is 0.02%.
The Georgia Governor's Office of Highway Safety lists possible outcomes of DUI charges. The penalties that accompany a DUI charge are hefty. Even for a first offense, possible punishments include fines, jail time, safe driving courses, and increased car insurance rates. Second, third and fourth DUI charges become increasingly grave with a fourth DUI counting as a felony.
The best advice for avoiding a DUI is simple: don't drive while under the influence of alcohol or other substances. Getting behind the wheel with impaired judgment is a careless decision with deadly consequences.

ECOmove, which started work on the first Qbeak prototype in 2009, received the 'European Electric Vehicles Early Stage Investment Opportunity Award' from UK-based Frost & Sullivan in March. The company said at the time that the Qbeak would include a number of models with single-charge ranges of anywhere from 125 miles to 190 miles. The previous prototype weighed about 900 pounds and was about 10 feet long, or about a foot longer than a Smart Fortwo.
For a long, ECOmove has been pitching the Qbeak's lightweight advancements, a body made out of aluminum and Kevlar composites, for example. Check out ECOmove's press release below.
The Danish company ECOmove is now ready with the third prototype of their electric vehicle QBEAK, thus taking a step closer towards the realisation of a lightweight concept for the EV industry. QBEAK III demonstrates a series of ground-breaking lightweight technologies, which, in addition to reducing the weight of the car, increases its range and makes it more affordable to drive an EV.
ECOmove took the first steps towards developing a lightweight electric vehicle in 2009. Now, QBEAK III is being introduced, and even though it is still a prototype, the car is very close to the end result.
- The new QBEAK is a much more finished version than number two. For example, the car now has charging structure and instrumentation, and its technologies are so far advanced that we are ready to mature them for production, says Mogens Løkke, CEO at ECOmove.
The developers at ECOmove have just conducted the first official test run of the QBEAK III for specially invited guests. This resulted in a great deal of positive feedback about the EV concept as well as the revolutionary lightweight technologies, which have been developed as part of the QBEAK.
ECOmove originally aimed at a launch of the EV in 2012. However, along the way, challenges appeared, which – along with the complexity of developing the most environmentally-, energy- and city-friendly car in the world without compromising the safety and design – have delayed the original time schedule.
- One of the major challenges has been long lead times, which has cost precious time. But we stuck to our concept and criteria for both the development and the quality. We are now very pleased to present an even more complete version of QBEAK, says Mogens Løkke.
Ready for partnerships
In order to ensure a successful market introduction, ECOmove has made a strategic decision to form partnerships with experienced players in manufacturing and supply chain management regarding mass production of the QBEAK. Currently, there are discussions in progress with foreign and domestic companies, who will be able to assemble and deliver cars for the major markets such as Europe, America and Asia, including China.
- By entering into partnerships with manufacturers who have well-established supplier networks, we are convinced that the first QBEAK will be ready to leave the factory in 2014, says Mogens Løkke.
Other e-car manufacturers have also shown interest in ECOmove's lightweight technologies, such as the composite suspension system, the sustainable bodywork, and the in-wheel motor unit. As a result, ECOmove is now actively entering partnerships to help others develop lighter, smarter and more sustainable cars. This business area is called 'ECOmove Engineering'.
ECOmove is owned by the management, Insero Horsens and Østjysk Innovation.
About Insero Horsens:
Insero Horsens is a Danish association that invests in enterprises, entrepreneurs and projects within innovation, energy and communication technology. Their goal is to expand and strengthen the area between Horsens, Hedensted, Vejle and Juelsminde. Insero Horsens has, among other things, been involved in gathering an electric car cluster in eastern Jutland. Read more at www.insero.dk
About Østjysk Innovation:

Ore. agencies offer Super Bowl safety reminders
SALEM, Ore. - For the 48th year, Oregonians will join football fans across the country developing their 'game plan' to gather and watch one of America's most highly anticipated sports events, the Super Bowl XLVIII football game on Sunday, February 2.
As game day approaches and football fans finalize plans, Oregon State Police (OSP), Oregon State Sheriffs' Association (OSSA), Oregon Association Chiefs of Police (OACP) and Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) join the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the National Football League and other partners in spreading the message about designating a sober driver because - Fans Don't Let Fans Drive Drunk.
OSP, OSSA, OACP and ODOT urge fans to avoid the penalties associated with wrong choices to get behind the wheel of a vehicle and drive impaired.
"One of the safest ways to get home if you are out somewhere watching the game is to choose a sober, designated driver before the drinking starts or handing off your keys so you won't have them in your hands after the game," said Captain Ted Phillips, director of the OSP Patrol Services Division.
According to NHTSA, impaired drivers contribute to Super Bowl Sunday becoming one of the most dangerous days on the road. Nationwide, approximately 48 percent of traffic fatalities on Super Bowl Sunday involve a driver or motorcycle operator with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 percent or higher.
Last year on Oregon roads during Super Bowl weekend (12:01 a.m., Saturday, February 2, through 5:59 a.m., Monday, February 4), two people died in two separate fatal traffic crashes in Oregon. Both crashes were investigated by OSP, one of which was alcohol-involved. Over the last seven years, 16 people have died in traffic crashes on Oregon roads during Super Bowl weekend.
During those seven previous Super Bowl weekends, OSP troopers reported over 300 DUII arrests, including 31 arrests last year. OSP, local sheriffs and police departments will be on the lookout for impaired drivers and encourage everyone to place the designation of a sober driver at the top of their Super Bowl game plan.
Before choosing to drink, choose your MVP - a sober, designated driver. OSP, OSSA, OACP and ODOT offer these additional safety reminders:
If you're attending a Super Bowl party or watching the game at a sports bar or restaurant:
* Designate your sober driver before the party begins.
* Avoid drinking too much alcohol too fast. Pace yourself. Eat plenty of food, take breaks, and alternate with non-alcoholic drinks.
* Make sure your ride is sober before letting him/her drive you.
* If you don't have a designated driver, ask a sober friend for a ride home; call a cab, friend, or family member to come and get you; or if possible stay where you are for the night and don't drive until you are sober.
* Use your community's sober ride program.
* Never let a friend drive drunk. Arrange a safe way for them to get home.
* Always buckle up. It's still your best defense against other drunk drivers.
If you're hosting a Super Bowl party:
* Make sure all of your guests designate their sober drivers in advance, or help arrange ride-sharing with sober drivers.
* Serve plenty of food and non-alcoholic beverages at the party.
* If you plan to stay sober, offer to drive guests home.
* Encourage guests to pace themselves.
* Host your party like they do at the stadium. Stop serving alcohol at the end of the third quarter of the game. The fourth quarter is perfect for serving coffee and dessert.
* Keep the phone numbers of local cab companies on hand and take the keys away from anyone who is thinking of driving drunk.
* Remember, you can be held liable and prosecuted if someone you served ends up in a drunk-driving crash.
Support zero tolerance for impaired driving by reporting impaired drivers to 9-1-1 or OSP at 1-800-24DRUNK (1-800-243-7865).
OSP and ODOT understand that not everyone will be in front of a TV watching the game, so those traveling are urged to "Know Before You Go," monitoring media reports for weather forecasts and keeping up-to-date on road conditions at www.TripCheck.com.
In addition to road and weather conditions, winter driving safety information and tips are also there for those who may head out on the road to help keep you informed and safe during winter season travels.

India needs huge energy import to sustain growth: Khurshid
Salman Khurshid said India imports 80 per cent of its oil and 25 per cent of its gas requirements.
New Delhi: External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid on Thursday said India will need to import a large percentage of its energy needs if it has to grow at 8-9 per cent.
Speaking at the Energy Security Conference in New Delhi, Khurshid said India was "importing 80 per cent of our oil and 25 per cent of our gas requirements".
"We will have to import 35-57 per cent of coal by 2030-3, 90-94 per cent of our oil and 57 per cent of natural gas if we continue to grow at 8-9 per cent... There is no option but to grow at 8-9 per cent if we have to provide for employment for the vast emerging numbers in the country comprising 65 per cent of youth," the minister said at the conference organised by his ministry and Confederation of Indian Industry (CII).
He said India has made progress in linking the country's electricity grid, the second largest in the world, with Nepal, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
"In addition, we plan to put in place additional gas pipeline network of 15,000 km and are in the process of increasing our LNG capacity to 45 million metric tonnes per annum from the current 13.5 mmtpa, and have put in place a roadmap for the ambitions TAPI gas pipeline to be commissioned by 2017."
Adi Godrej, CII president and Godrej Group chairman, stressed on the need for strong focus on strengthening domestic energy sources as well as acquisition of energy assets overseas.
He added that strategic alliances and joint ventures as well as establishment of a sovereign energy fund will help in successful acquisition of energy assets overseas.
Chandrajit Banerjee, director general, CII, said: "Energy security has clearly emerged as a key concern for India. To succeed in winning international energy assets, India urgently needs a value added strategic road map towards acquisition of overseas."

Where I stayed
Pappajohn Sculpture Park
When you are traveling like this, it's easy to get caught up and forget the days of the week, so now it's Sunday around 9 o'clock and there isn't that much open for dinner. As we were driving around thinking of what to do, we were drawn to the Capitol building glinting off in the sunlight, so we re-directed ourselves in that direction. Turns out that there was a "Jazz in July" concert going on at the steps of the Capitol
Of course, we still hadn't found anything for dinner so we set the GPS to lead us to a Panera back near the hotel. We never actually found the Panera but we did come across the illogically-named restaurant "Marco O'Kelly's Mexican Cafe" which sounded too odd to pass up. Mom and I split a spinach and mushroom enchilada, a frozen Pomegranate Margarita, and a cheesecake empanada dessert. Not bad, but a good late dinner -- we were the only ones in the place. Now we're back in our hotel, relaxing and trying to plan the last few days of our trip. I'll keep you updated on which route we are going to take back.

Is the small form factor netbook an evolution of the notebook computer - or a new product entirely? Here's an interesting moment from Intel's 4Q08 earnings conference call last night, addressing the issue, along with an explanation of notebook vs. PC supply chain (emphasis added):
Glen Yeung - Citigroup
Thanks. I guess I first wanted to just look at the notebook in the fourth quarter that you have just pointed. It was down considerably in your numbers, and yet, when I think about the end market, it wasn't down that much. I wonder if you could address how much of that notebook reduction you guys saw was a function of inventory decline and how much of it you think was cannibalization from netbook.
Paul Otellini - Intel President and CEO
I think very little of it was cannibalization from netbook, Glen. And we've done surveys now of buyers to try to triangulate on that. And while there is some cannibalization, the data suggests that the vast majority of netbook sales are incremental, and by the time we get to the analyst meeting, we'll share that data with you.
On the notebook side, I think what you see is that it takes longer to slow it down. Much of our desktop business is through the channel, which is the configured to order model. And so the channel adapts very rapidly. They have little inventories to begin with. It adapts very rapidly to demand changes, and in fact, if anything, our channel inventories and desktop products are a little light right now as channel sales stabilize in the second half of December.
Notebooks for the most part are assembled in China and Taiwan and then shipped, most recently, in the last six months or so, on boats. So the supply line actually lengthened as people fought to save money on shipping as the air transit prices went up with the gas going up. So, that all started to contract.
And I think that there probably was more inventory contraction in classic notebooks than in desktops as a result. And we'll know a little bit more as we go into the quarter, but that seems to be the picture.
You can find out what all companies are saying about netbooks - or anything else - with a search across earnings call transcripts from our transcripts center.
