Wohl's Letter Libelous
Dear Editor,
I am writing in direct response to a letter published in your paper, Friday, October 1, 2010 by STEPHEN WOHL, a resident of Dayton Beach Park, a cooperative community here in Rockaway Beach.
Currently, I serve as a Board Member and President of the Board of Directors of Dayton Beach. On several occasions THE WAVE has elected to publish letters from Mr. Wohl to its print readership of thousands and millions online which are libelous in nature, accusing me of corruption (specifically theft of Shareholder resources as part of a large governmental conspiracy of elected officials), that would, if it were true, constitute a serious crime. As THE WAVE continues to publish these false allegations from Mr. Wohl without doing its own investigation of his claims, I have no choice but to address Mr. WOHL here in THE WAVE Letters section, as I will to the Stockholders, and eventually in person to Mr. Wohl and others directly concerned in these acts as I am supremely sincere in receiving definitive binding remedy:
1. The removal of the underground oil tanks at Dayton Beach has been scheduled for nearly TEN YEARS and is a requirement under the terms of its mortgage. When discussion on tank removal began, I was still in college, at home with my parents, not a Stockholder and most certainly not a Board Member. Time and new technologies have opened the pathway for smaller tanks to be used for heating purposes.
By removing the large underground tanks, Dayton Beach abandons the old worn cracked tanks that are associated with filing of yearly expensive Title V emission reports to the State.
The same old worn cracked tanks that led to Dayton Beach being fined $429,785.74 for the failure of the prior Board (the Board Mr. Wohl touts as being great) to file those Title V reports that documents #6 oil usage.
Fines were doubled when leakage was found in the surrounding soils.
The same fines that the current Board vigorously fought on behalf of the Stockholders to prevent ANOTHER large maintenance increase. The fines were only settled with a $400,000+ reduction with help of Assemblywoman Audrey Pheffer, another person often unfairly attacked in your publication by Mr. WOHL.
2. NO Stockholder displaced by the removal of the oil tanks will have to pay for rental of their parking spots.
As no Stockholder is required to pay when the co-op takes action on necessary LONG AWAITED and neglected repairs to the buildings.
3. Mr. Wohl writes so passionately (and fraudulently) about all that is wrong in Dayton Beach as if he is a true patriot standing up for sound Democratic Right. Only those of us who are familiar Mr. Wohl's true history (OH CANADA!) realize this is not the case. In his letters he fails to mention that in two years Dayton Beach went from being over million plus in deficit to its first SURPLUS in ten years. That Dayton Beach completely paid off every dime owed of the $1.4 million three-year-old water bills that caused it to be named the number two largest non-payer in the city.
That it has substantially repaved most of its parking lots from the crater city it once was with more paving to come, that Dayton Beach has new elevators, new laundry rooms, painted every common hallway, stairwell, retiled every common area floor, completed large portions of the renovations to Building 8400 saving the Stockholders $1,595,000. Not to mention new plants, trees, signage, cleanness and a renewed dedication that most of the hardworking Stockholders here have deserved and didn't get until new Board Members were elected.
As independent thinker I strongly support freedom of expression and speech in all forms. However, what I have always been and always will be is a fierce opponent of Lies and the Lying Liars who tell them. For far too long, people like Mr. Wohl have used THE WAVE to strike fear into the hearts of Dayton Beach Stockholders to stall or sway voting in Dayton Beach Board elections. In 2004, Dayton Beach Stockholders relented what they got in return was a BIG maintenance increase, fines, more debt and dirty worn buildings to show for it. Letting the small, loud, ignorant few win caused our homes great harm. I for one am committed for the duration to ensure it never happens again. I didn't let personal attacks, vandalism, and offensive racist threats halt the work to make Dayton Beach better and I won't allow Mr. Wohl's baseless rants in the letters section of THE WAVE stop Dayton Beach Park either.

Eagle County An estate auction today in Routt County is drawing attention across the state. The interest comes from what's up for bid and who might be bidding.
The auction features 26 horses and donkeys of various ages from the estate of Patsy Wilhelm. Most of the animals used to work in Wilhelm's outfitting business.
What's drawn the real attention to the auction from the Western Slope's horse enthusiasts is word that there will be "kill buyers" bidding on the animals.
Those buyers pick up horses for bargain prices at auction, then ship the animals to slaughterhouses, usually in Mexico.
The possibility of horses being sent to slaughter has caught the attention of several groups, including Mountain Valley Horse Rescue. During the past couple of weeks, group President Shana Devins has been working the phones and her email lists, trying to round up support for heading to the auction.
Those efforts have paid off, at least to a degree. Devins said she's gotten donations of cash, as well as pledges of feed and pasture space.
"We've had an amazing response so far," Devins said.
That response has been gratifying to Liza Jackson, who until recently lived near Steamboat Springs. Jackson and Steamboat veterinarian Dr. Courtney Diehl for the past three weeks have drummed up support to save as many horses as possible from the auction.
"One rancher here said he can give homes to two horses, but someone else has to buy them," Jackson said, adding that another Routt County rancher has said he has enough extra hay to feed two horses through the winter.
Devins said she hopes the 10 a.m. auction at Sunset Ranch on Elk River Road draws a good audience of people willing to bid on the horses. The trick, she said, will be finding bidders to bid up the prices on the animals to the point it's unprofitable for the "kill buyers" to buy the horses. At the moment, that's about 30 cents per pound, or $300 for a 1,000-pound horse.
But Jackson said with limited funds, it's going to be tough to save all the horses from a trip to the slaughterhouse.
"We know these guys' names, but we don't know what they look like," Jackson said. "We don't want to bid up the prices for legitimate buyers."
The horse-rescue bidders may not be able to save all the horses, but they're going to try.
"These horses have spent their lives taking people up into the mountains," Devins said. "They've earned better than a trip to the slaughterhouse."

News / Search news / Chicago Pneumatic Introduces Two New Industrial T-Handle High Torque Impact Wrenches
Chicago Pneumatic Introduces Two New Industrial T-Handle High Torque Impact Wrenches
The CP6130-T70 and CP6240-T120 provide power, durability, and operator comfort in extremely demanding industrial applications
Chicago Pneumatic, a quality leader in performance air tools since 1901, is announcing its new CP6130-T70 (1-1/2" drive) and CP6240-T120 (2-1/2" drive) high torque industrial T-handle impact wrenches. These new additions, to CP's already extensive line of industrial tools, have been designed to withstand extreme high torque demands while maximizing operator comfort and increasing return on investment.
Whether performing heavy duty maintenance in the energy, heavy machinery, or industrial production sectors, these new high torque impacts provide up to 18,440 ft.-lbs. in less than 10 seconds. In addition, their nutbusting performances, such as 900 powerful blows per minute and a free speed of 4,000 rpm, enable reducing fastener removal and rundown time, inturn increasing operator's efficiency and productivity.
Composed of the highest quality plain steel available (SCM415), the precisely finished rotor and end-plates of the air motor provide these new impacts with the durability and long life expected from Chicago Pneumatic. Complimenting this powerful motor is a robust Double Rocking Dog clutch engineered for high reliability and performance. This fast acting clutch rapidly and smoothly transfers power to these critical and intense applications while lowering vibration levels (4.5 m/s² according to ISO28927-2) which reduces operator fatigue. The Aluminum body and clutch housings provide exceptional tool durability and protect the motor and clutch mechanism for years of service.
Both the CP6130-T70 and CP6240-T120 anvils feature hole-style socket retention for ultimate operator safety. Robust suspension bails included with both models (supporting up to 132 lbs. / 60 kg), assist the operator and greatly reduce fatigue during the extended and repetitive use required in many maintenance applications. The ergonomic grips, removable dead-handle, lower vibration, and easy to operate controls increase operator comfort and performance while in use.
"Chicago Pneumatic is one of the very few industry players who can offer such reliable high-torque impact wrenches. These new impacts were designed with the end-user in mind" said Luis Clement, Vice President Chicago Pneumatic Tools. "Maximizing durability, performance, ergonomics and ROI are critical when investing in these types of tools. We know our customers expect it and we are delivering it with competitive pricing and shorter lead-times"

"Beat the Director" 5K Race to raise money for library teen area
Last year's Collingswood Book Festival kicked off with the Friends of the Library-sponsored "Meet the Director," a discussion with new library director, Brett Bonfield. To kick off this year's Book Festival, the Friends are sponsoring a 5K race around Knight Park at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, September 26.
Registration is $25 and the proceeds from the race will be used to set up a new teen area in the Library. However, if runners finish ahead of Brett—if they "Beat the Director"—they'll be given $10 back.
The event is being hosted by the Collingswood Book Festival and the Borough of Collingswood, and TNT Event Management is handling the timing, scoring, and course setup. Jerry Chambers and others who organized the races that used to be held as part of the May Fair are lending their expertise, helping to ensure that the first ever Collingswood Book Festival 5K will be a success—and that Collingswood's teens will have a great new place to hang out at the Library.
Trophies will be awarded to the top male and female overall finishers and medallions will be awarded to the top three male and female finishers in the following categories: 14 & under, 15-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70 (no duplicate awards). Amenities include t-shirts, an awards ceremony, giveaways, and refreshments.

They say St. Valentine's Day is for love and happiness. But it is not truth. My Valentine's Day is just pain and tears. Not only I broke up with my true love, but my dearest Marquis was put asleep.... He left this world today. And even if I'm professioanl writer, I cannot find any words to describe such deep emotions.
Marquis was so sick for all month. Putting asleep was only one way to stop him suffering. Who knows? Maybe he wanted to die betetr than suffer such pain. Maybe he is happy now with angels. I hope per heaven exist. I really would wish that pet cementary would exist in my town or near it. He deserves a nice monument and flower and candles.
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.
No one loves you unconditionally as your beloved pet.
If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans. ~ James Herriot
You fought hard to stay alive, my friend.
In the end, though, you couldn't conquer death.
But neither did death conquer you.
Death cures all diseases, mends all broken bones,
Breaks all chains.
And made you free at last.
And now we lay you down to sleep
You're finally at rest
Our love for you we'll always keep
You were the very best
You gave us joy for all those years
A memory for each new day
Then came the day of all my fears
The day you passed away
A part of us you took with you
And I can't stand the pain
But when this life on earth is through
I know we'll meet again.
For few days I was suffering so much... All started because somehow my poops got hard and I couldn't do natural "thing" easy. So poops hurt my anus and it started bleeding...
I licked it very very hard and suddenly lost hair on my private parts. But it hurt so much, I had to lick it. But I did bad thing... I licked too much with my sharp tongue and my naked anus got rashes, itched more- I licked more. My owners used good oil on it, but it hurt too much any way... They went to one bad doctor who gave me bad medicine to make my poops liquid, I got diarrea.... I was just laying in my box because my belly hurt so much. These medicines damaged my stomach and all body inside. I stopped eating and just meowed from pain. My owners were crying and went to other city to vet, but it was too many people and they asked a nurse what to do. She said to give me antibiotics, use antibiotic cream on my wounds and put...pants on me. They did this. But I hate being dressed. So I was very angry and bit them all to leave me alone with my pain.
But I calmed down after some hours and my owners went to sleep. I just waited for this. I took off these baby clothes and started licking my anu again.... But what I did was even more painful...and even more horrible to watch. Skin of my all anus and around it...TEARED OFF. It was so bleeding, hurt that I cannot even tell how. And it had such rotting smell. I meowed like mad in a middle of night, my oldest owner was crying like mad and holding me, but that holding hurt me even more. Probably all neighbours thought what wild animal my owners have.
It is very hard to explain how that wound looks now. Very very bad.... ugly.... But today my owners took to new vet in other city. I was so scared to be in a car and see these two young men vets, but I was brave and meowed silently just few times. They gave me box of cream for wounds, they injected me three times in back and......... OMG they put a huge plastic collar on my head.... I so hate it. When I got home, I tried to tke it off, but couldn't. I walked back, shook head- nothing worked. I tried to hide in my favorite holes rom everyone, but I couldn't, because that thing on head didn't let me. So I laid on table in kitchen...and right now I calmly sleep. Now I know I will survive, but day ago, I thought I will die....
Last day, when owners were at work, I hit and somehow opened bottle of washing softening liquid...I got scared of that smell that I got all filthy from that stinky liquid, my mouth was full of it, my all fur was messed up, stinky, all wet like grease. I started to vomit with white liquid, my eyes started to hurt so much from all that greasy liquid on my eyeballs. My owners tried to help me, but I was too scared and ran away from them. When older owner came home, she put me inbath.... It was my first bath ever, but I was quite calm, just few times meowed REALLY LOUD, but I didn't hurt her, I liked water, because I wanted to wash out all that stink from my fur and mouth. They even gave me black ugly water with medicine, after bath they put me in towel and put in bed, put warm bottle that I would be warm, but I was scared, so sick, I shook like leaf all evening....
Today I just sit next to bowl of fresh water, but I am scared to eat and drink, I'm scared it can be again these chamicals, and my tongue hurts very much, my eyes. But at least I'm clean again. I hope I will get better, because I hate vets, they always torture me and never understand that I hate strange people, strange smells. I love just my owners and nobody else.
So that's my sad and tragic birthday. I hope I won't die...

Excuse me if there is a thread that has addressed this topic but as far as I researched I couldn't find it.
Onward to the problem, with all the 3 series I've owned all e46 sedan and coupe they were all lowered and for some reason depending on the road the car steers itself. It's not with tremendous force but it's a nuisance. You have to quickly correct it or you'll be all over. Now since I have put my PSS's on they are at the lowest level and I have Miro 111 18x8.5 et35 in the front the problem is more pronounced where you have to snatch the wheel at sometimes. Makes you feel as if your all over the road fighting the car. What could contribute to this? I have stock strut mounts on maybe camber plates are needed? The car has had a full four wheel alignment still same problem. Any thoughts?

Pomona College has appointed Pamela Besnard, currently vice president for development and alumni relations at The New School in New York City, as its new vice president for advancement.
At Pomona, Besnard will oversee the College's fundraising operations as well as outreach programs for alumni, parents and other constituents. Among her responsibilities will be the successful completion of the College's $250 million Campaign Pomona: Daring Minds and overseeing a team of nearly 50 professionals and support staff. As a member of the College's executive staff, she will also play a leading role on the full range of issues that affect the life of the College. She will begin her new position on Aug. 5.
"This is a very important appointment for the future of Pomona College," said President David Oxtoby, "Throughout her advancement career, Pam's focus has been on building strong relationships between institutions and the people who care about them. She has a passion for the liberal arts, and as a leader, she has shown a remarkable capacity to build effective teams and to inspire the people with whom she works. I look forward to working with her to bring Pomona's Daring Minds campaign to a successful conclusion and to keep this college at the forefront of American higher education."
Besnard graduated from Williams College in Williamstown, Mass., and established a successful career in publishing, working in advertising and management at such publications as Money Magazine and Newsweek before returning to her alma mater to begin a new career in advancement. Rising to director of major gifts at Williams College, she managed a development team that played a key role in completing a campaign that outstripped its own goal of $400 million by a wide margin, securing gifts and pledges totaling more than $500 million. After accepting the position of vice president for development and alumni relations at The New School—a private university in New York City comprising seven schools specializing in the arts, design, humanities and social sciences—she led a reorganization of the development operation to increase productivity and more closely align fundraising efforts with the strategic mission of the university.
"I am excited and honored to have the opportunity to lead Pomona's dedicated advancement team," Besnard said, "most immediately in successfully completing the Daring Minds campaign and working with the entire Pomona College community to ensure that a diverse student population continues to benefit from an exceptional educational experience."
Pomona has a storied history of fundraising, starting with the Pomona Plan, one of the very first broad efforts to market life income gifts to a broad audience. The College launched Campaign Pomona: Daring Minds in 2010 and has raised more than $180 million of its $250 million goal with more than two years remaining. The aim of the campaign is to ensure that talented, venturesome students will always be able to afford a Pomona education and that Pomona College will be able to provide them with a learning environment even stronger in the creative and experiential opportunities that play a role in making our graduates leaders in their fields.

Jeremy Lin Had Rockets Teammates Shave the Adidas Logo On His Head
Jeremy Lin's contract with Nike expired recently, and when Adidas offered Lin a contract, Nike chose not to match—eerily reminiscent of the Knicks choosing not to match the Rockets' contract for Lin a year and half ago. So now Lin is an Adidas man.
To celebrate—and to perhaps show his new sponsors some marketing love—Lin had Rockets teammates Dwight Howard, Patrick Beverley, and Omri Casspi—all under Adidas themselves—shave three stripes into the side of his head. The result was the touching, heartfelt video above. It's interesting that Nike chose not to match Lin's offer. Though Lin is not the sensation he was during the Linsanity heyday, he has proven to be a solid NBA player (he's averaging 14 points, 4 assists, and a very respectable 47% shooting percentage), and he's clearly a big draw in Asia, a region of emphasis for Nike. According to Bloomberg, the new Adidas contract (Lin didn't disclose the value), will include public appearances in Asia in the offseason, which is pretty much the norm for all basketball sneaker deals these days.

The media reported some very sad news today. A study by economists indicate our wonderful top 3% of people ONLY control 54% of our wealth. Sorry, I just made mistake. They do NOT control 54% of wealth, they control 54.4% of our wealth. Sorry, for that slip of the finger. In 1989 this wonderful group of people only controlled 44.8% of the wealth of America. I gather pundits on Fox News are quite upset. These figures are another example of how Barack Obama SOCIALISM is destroying our free enterprise system. Any Fox News pundit understands that as those with wealth gain more and more money, they then share this money with those on the bottom. It is called, the "trickle down theory" of economics. If only the top 3% could control 90% of our wealth, consider the enormous amount of this money that would shortly be in the hands of our middle class. Consider how many new Nanny jobs would be created for the middle class? Consider how many new jobs would be created for those working on yachts?
Instead of creating wealth our wealthy folks are so upset at only being in possession of 54.4% of the wealth, they spend their days angry and refusing to create wealth for the middle class. Please vote this year for US Senators who are committed to the proposition that our top 3% are entitled to 97%. Once we have reached this level, then we have a new 3% group– our middle class! They will then possess 3% of our wealth! God Bless the Wealthy, they are truly the children of Jesus Christ!

Think you're bored with burgers?
Yes, I too have declared that I am going to join this burger backlash. But then another interesting one comes along and it's time to go back in my box. Daniel Young, from food blog Young and Foodish, runs what I think are some of the best pop-ups in town. His BurgerMonday events — where a different chef cooks a burger whichever way they like for one evening only — have previously sold out in 15 minutes. This time he hosts the BurgerMonday #LondonBurgerBash at Camden Town Brewery, where six chefs battle for the Golden Patty Award. The line-up includes Master Chef winner Tim Anderson, Hawksmoor's Richard Turner and Patty & Bun's Joe Grossman. Let the munching begin.

Things tighten up for B's in weekend sweep
|12.28.08 at 8:36 pm ET
The intensity level and heart-thumping pulse of NHL games traditionally rises as the season marches forward, and things begin to tighten up a bit both offensively and defensively — a puck phenomenon that's coming to life right before the eyes of Bruins' followers.
Both the Carolina Hurricanes and the Atlanta Thrashers forced the Black and Gold to work extensively in back-to-back efforts in order to take a sweep of the weekend games — including Sunday night's 2-1 win over Atlanta at Phillips Arena — and put their overall winning streak at eight games.
The B's have handled the Trashers, out of that hockey hotbed deep in the heart of Atlanta, all season long, but Sunday's taut triumph was most hotly contested of the season against the Thrash. It's also indicative of the kind of tooth and nail games that await the Boston Golden Bears over their next 40 plus games.
NHL hockey is a much different animal in January, February, March and April — with teams jostling for playoff pole position as the NHL standings begin to settle — than it is in the opening months of October and November, and things certainly won't be as swimmingly easy as they seemed for Boston over the season's first few months. Add the tricked-out intensity to the host of injuries the B's continue to battle through, and you have a pretty impressive effort for the weekend. A Tuesday night tilt against the Pittsburgh Penguins is all that's standing between the Black and Gold and a five game sweep during their current holiday road trip.
Not to be confused, of course, with the Griswold theme song otherwise known as Lindsay Buckingham's "Holiday Road".
The B's are the King of the Eastern Conference Hill right now, and they're going to get everybody's best from here on out. With that in mind, here's a few observations from the solid victory over the Thrashers:
–Now may be the time for everybody to stow away those Manny Fernandez trade proposals. There's no way the Bruins are a better team this season without hockey's version of Manny Being Manny splitting time with Tim Thomas between the pipes.
They've formed the best Boston goaltending duo since the unforgettable Andy Moog/Reggie Lemelinteam in the 80's and 90's, and they still lead the NHL in team save percentage this season. Thomas and Fernandez have put together a .930 save percentage thus far, which puts them .06 percentage points ahead of both the Minnesota Wild and the Florida Panthers for NHL bragging rights.
Last night was a game the Bruins likely wouldn't have won if not for the 34-year-old Fernandez, and the graceful butterfly style he used to make 32 saves Sunday night. His successive saves on Thrashers forwards Erik Christensen and Bryan Little with less than a minute to go in the third period were things of beauty, and were among a handful of saves that preserved the 'W' for the Bruins. Fernandez is now 12-2-1 on the season, and has pushed himself into a vital, irreplaceable role on this Bruins' team.
It would be the worst kind of hockey karma to break this Killer B's tandem up — a notion that all the hockey krishnas outthere should be nodding in harmonious agreement with.
Ryder equals Mr. Clutch
The game-winning third period goal was obviously hatched by the breathtaking David Krejci-authored saucer pass to a streaking Michael Ryder while he crashed the Atlanta net, but it also highlighted an interesting piece of Ryder trivia. The score — a quick redirect of the skidding puck through Thrashers goalie Keri Lehtonen's pads — was Ryder's team-leading seventh game-winning goal of the season thus far.
Ryder also leads the NHL with his collection of seven game-winning tallies, and sits two GWG's ahead of fellow NHL luminaries Jeff Carter, Patrick Marleau, Daniel Sedin, Johan Franzen and Petr Sykora this season. It seemed symbolic that his seventh game-winner of the season was also his 14thoverall lamp lighter — the exact same goal-production total he managed in 70 restless, unhappy games with the Montreal Canadiens last season.
Congrats to Coach Julien
A tip of the PWH chapeau to Bruins coach Claude Julien, who has seemingly wrapped up the Eastern Conference coaching honors at the NHL All-Star Game after leading his Bruins squad to such a commanding lead during the first three months of the season. According to the fountain of first-hand knowledge known as wikipedia, since 1996 the head coaches for the two All-Star Game have been the coaches of the two teams that are leading their respective conferences in point percentage (i.e. fraction of points obtained out of total possible points) as of January 1.
With a commanding point lead over everyone else in the Eastern Conference, that would leave Julien to man the bench at the Bell Centre — a building that was once the coach's home turf while he ran the show with the Montreal Canadiens from 2002-06. For a hockey building that's housed some pretty high-intensity Bruins/Habs moments over the last two years, it will certainly be a proud moment for the Quebec native to play a prominent role in one of the Canadiens' showpiece events during their 2008-09 Centennial celebration.

Clearly, Cindy Sheehan has struck a nerve in this country, and her willingness to speak truth to power resonates as a model of courage and dedication to us all. One way I believe all of us can help her cause -- even those who cannot travel to Crawford, Texas -- is by writing our local papers to support her and her efforts to meet with the president.
I have written a letter to my local newspaper, and set up a form on my web site that will allow readers to submit their own words simultaneously to all the papers in their region. I will be able to keep track of the number of letters submitted through the site, and have set an initial goal of 1,000 letters and/or guest editorials.
I have also transformed the home page of my website, http://johnconyers.com, into a Crawford Action Center to assist in writing letters, and generally in organizing support and donations for Cindy. It is an online resource where you can easily find the latest information about events in Crawford through news reports, pictures, video, audio, and talking points.
I believe it is crucial that all of our local newspapers hear from us and know that support for Cindy is widespread, particularly given the smear campaign the right wing is waging against her. While Cindy has the nation's attention, we need to buttress her press coverage with personal stories from others who share her grief and outrage at the Administration's conduct in getting us into this war.

USDA Aims to Find Market Niches for Appalachian Small FarmsBy Don Comis
October 5, 1999
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5--U.S. Department of Agriculture scientists are helping small Appalachian farms find new markets and niche products, Agricultural Research Service Administrator Floyd Horn announced today.
"The scientists are looking at products like grass-fed beef and chevon, which is goat meat," Horn said. "Cattle that graze grass have leaner meat than those shipped out to be fattened on corn in midwestern feedlots. It will command a premium price in the health food market. Farmers could save shipping costs and build a niche market on the East Coast for pasture-fed beef that doesn't compete with conventional beef."
"The Great Savannah" of the Appalachian Region can raise grass-fed lean beef to compete with that from the Argentine Pampas, which currently supplies the East Coast, Horn noted. The Appalachian beef could be sold to restaurants or packaged fresh for supermarkets, he added.
To explore these and many other options, USDA's Appalachian Farming Systems Research Center near Beaver, W.Va., is organizing "market niche" research partnerships with farmers, experiment stations and agencies in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia.
The research center is part of the Agricultural Research Service, USDA's chief scientific agency.
As one objective of these partnerships, goats will be evaluated to see how well they can clear abandoned fields of unwanted weeds and shrubs. "We also want to see if we can raise these goats for chevon, alongside cattle and sheep," said William M. Clapham, research leader at the ARS center.
The goats, cattle and sheep might eventually graze in the shade of trees that could later be sold for lumber, Clapham said. The scientists are exploring a variety of options, with a focus on agroforestry. Agroforestry means growing trees as perennial crops on farms or growing crops in existing woods.
For example, ARS soil scientist Charles M. Feldhake planted 1,200 black locust trees in a steep hillside pasture where sheep graze. The trees will provide shade for livestock and grass. In addition, their deep roots might extract excess nutrients from livestock urine and manure before the nutrients can reach groundwater. The locust can be sold for firewood or fenceposts, and its flowers provide nectar for honey.
Feldhake and ARS horticulturist Carol M. Schumann are also testing honey locust trees. Other crops with potential include:
Horn said that with a team effort, the Appalachian name will one day bestow the same cachet on its products as do the lush grassy regions of the Argentine Pampas and New Zealand.
An in-depth article on the Appalachian center's research appears in the October issue of ARS' Agricultural Research magazine and on the web at:

Location-based social network Whrrl has forged a rather odd partnership with content provider HBO to place various fictional characters from the show Entourage as real users on its network.
Events from the television show will end up as annotated items on Whrrl's user-generated map. You can subscribe to whichever of the characters you want, and each of their items go into your central friends feed along with regular users who are providing "real" ratings and locational bookmarks. As the series progresses, locations seen on the show will continue to be placed on the map.
This is a novel move in a time when content is getting its own community-made fan characters. Some of the first signs of this were on Facebook with fake user accounts, then later fan pages administrated by fans once Facebook began to clamp down. Most recently, the trend has ended up on Twitter with characters from AMC's Mad Men and Marvel comics getting taken down by the parent companies who own that intellectual property.
You can find the various characters from the show on this page. If this ends up being a hit, expect it to leech out into other social networks and shows.

Site: Oklahoma City, Okla. (ASA Hall of Fame Stadium)
Event: Women's College World Series (Day 3)
Score: #11 Washington 4, #7 Michigan 1
Records: U-M (51-13), Washington (45-16)
Next U-M Event: Season Complete
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. -- The No. 7-ranked University of Michigan softball team was upended by a four-run sixth inning from the No. 11-ranked Washington Huskies that started with a deflected ball off sophomore starting pitcher Sara Driesenga (Hudsonville, Mich./Hudsonville) and went on to drop the game, 4-1, today (Sunday, June 2) at the Women's College World Series held at the ASA Hall of Fame Stadium. The loss eliminates the Wolverines from the WCWS and ends their season with a 51-13 record.
With two runners on in the sixth, an infield single by UW's Kimberlee Souza ricocheted off Driesenga's leg and turned the tide of a game that Michigan was leading 1-0. Souza's scorcher bounced off Driesenga and went into no-man's land in shallow leftfield. One run came around to score, followed by a second on a Michigan throwing error. The Huskies scored twice more on two more hits in the frame to take a 4-1 lead.
Until that point, Driesenga had put together a stretch of 13 straight scoreless innings in the WCWS. The righty pitched her seventh complete game of the NCAA tournament and third straight in the WCWS. She struck out three, walked two and yielded seven hits. She finshed the season with a 31-9 record.
Speed was a huge factor for Michigan's run in the fifth inning. With freshman Sierra Lawrence (Norcross, Ga./Greater Atlanta Christian) on third following a steal of second and a wild pitch, senior Jaclyn Crummey (Macomb, Mi./Dakota) pounded a pitch into the dirt and raced up the first-base line. She beat the throw, and Lawrence scored for the first run of the game. Crummey finished the game with two hits.
Michigan could not come up with any more runs to equalize Washington's sixth inning.
Today's game was the final one for seniors Crummey, Amy Knapp (St. Joseph, Mich./Lakeshore), Ashley Lane (Escondido, Calif./Escondido) and Stephanie Speierman (Columbia, Md./Hammond). The quartet finished with an overall record of 195-74 and was a part of four straight Big Ten championships, three Regional titles (2010, '12, '13) and one World Series appearance (2013).
This Michigan squad ends the year with a 51-13 record, a Big Ten championship and the 10th WCWS appearance in program history, which ranks seventh among Division 1 programs.

LOL, i bet that would make a trooper laugh!
Just recieved this via e-mail (with no comment) from a friend.
A very senior citizen in Florida bought a brand new Mercedes convertible. He took off down the road, flooring it to 80 mph and enjoyed the wind blowing through what little hair he had left on his head.
"This is great!" he thought as he roared down I-75, and he pushed the pedal to the metal even more.
Then he looked in his rear view mirror and saw a highway patrol trooper behind him, blue lights flashing and siren blaring.
"I can get away from him with no problem" thought the man and he gunned it still more and flew down the road at over 100 mph, then 110 mph, then 120 mph.
Then he thought, "What am I doing? I'm too old for this kind of thing."
He pulled over to the side of the road and waited for the trooper to catch up with him.
The trooper pulled in behind the Mercedes and walked up to the man.
"Sir," he said, looking at his watch, "my shift ends in 15 minutes and today is Friday. If you can give me a reason why you were speeding that I've never heard before, I'll let you go."
The man looked at the trooper and said ...
"Well officer, eighteen years ago my wife ran off with a Florida state trooper, and I thought you were bringing her back."
"Slow down and have a nice day, sir."
We stole the eagle from the Air Force
The anchor from the Navy
The rope from the Army
And on the seventh day when God was resting
We overran his perimeter and stole the globe
And we have been guarding it ever since!
LOL, i bet that would make a trooper laugh!
Good one.
You only have the rights you are willing to fight for.I Like 1911's.

By Kate Elizabeth Queram Wisconsin Reporter
MADISON — The statewide recount of ballots in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race will cost taxpayers more than $400,000, according to financial data gathered by Wisconsin Reporter.
Final recount estimates from 70 of the state's 72 counties total $400,525, county officials said.
Figures for Pierce and Adams counties were unavailable. County clerks there could not be reached for comment Friday afternoon.
The estimated total is roughly 20 percent less than the Government Accountability Board's initial cost projection of $500,000, which county clerks said was largely due to overestimating how long the recount process would take and underestimating how many volunteer workers they would have.
"I didn't really know what to expect. It came on so fast," said Bayfield County Clerk Scott Fibert, whose staff completed the recount in less than two days at a final cost of about $1,750. "We did it in a day and a half, so I guess it's about as reasonable as we could have got. Anything more, and I probably would have had budget issues, and I'm sure a lot of people are going to have budget."
Eight of those 70 counties said recount costs were higher than expected. Clerks in most of those counties said the extra money went to reprogramming databases or renting additional memory packs for vote tabulating machines.
Final cost estimates varied widely, because clerks tabulated their expenses in different ways.
For example, county clerk staff assisted with recount duties in virtually every county. But those employees would have been paid on those days anyway, leaving clerks confused as to whether those costs should be tabulated in final estimates.
"I could have calculated it in a lot of different ways," said Walworth County Clerk Kimberly Bushey. "Because the people were here already and they would have been paid already, is that a cost of the recount or not? And I don't know how to answer that."
Including staff time, Bushey said, Walworth County recount costs totaled roughly $8,700. Excluding those expenses, the county's final tally is about $2,800.
The statewide recount was called at the request of challenger JoAnne Kloppenburg, Wisconsin's assistant attorney general who trailed incumbent Supreme Court Justice David Prosser by 7,316 votes after the initial April 5 canvassing of ballots.
Seventy-one of the state's 72 counties completed the recount by the initial May 9 deadline. After receiving an extension from Dane County Circuit Court Judge Richard Niess, Waukesha County finished its recount May 19, at a final cost of $129,200, said Ellen Nowak, chief of staff to Waukesha County Executive Dan Vrakas.
A total of 1,500,113 votes were counted during the three-week recount process, according to GAB data. Statewide, Kloppenburg gained a total of 693 votes, while Prosser gained an additional 371.
But Prosser retained his initial overall lead, winning the recount with a total of 752,694 votes, 7,004 more than Kloppenburg's vote total of 745,690. Kloppenburg elected not to challenge the results of the recount, so Prosser retained his seat on the state's high court.

Tack onto to that having an injury that is not allowing you to practice enough during the week or perform during the game up to your full capabilities. And imagine that those performances may be hampering your chances of getting a shot at the NFL, as you fight against the top athletes the nation has to offer in the Southeastern Conference.
It is time to shut it down, close the book on your Vanderbilt career and heal up for the NFL workouts in the offseason, right?
Ladies and gentlemen, meet Justin Geisinger. If Commodores fans are looking for heart, determination, commitment and attitude, they need to look no further than the senior left tackle who has more fight in him than a starving pack of wolves.
Playing on what coach Bobby Johnson calls "one and a half legs," Geisinger has still managed to get nominated for All-SEC consideration this year. The 6-foot-4, 330-pound tackle has been fighting through a Grade 2 MCL sprain on his left knee since the Ole Miss game, which basically means his knee hurts all the time.
How much?
"It is a considerable amount, but I can't let that bother me," Geisinger says. "The trainers do a good job resting me up during the week and with their treatment."
The solution, of course, is rest, something Geisinger simply is not willing to try.
"It wears down as the game goes on," Geisinger says. "That is to be expected. It is an injury that needs recovery. It is just something that is going to take a few weeks to heal."
But as a captain, Geisinger feels it is his duty and obligation to make sure he plays every snap he can for the black and gold, pain, suffering and NFL prospects be damned.
"There is no question I am going to play this season," he says. "I've committed myself to this team and I've been dedicated to this team. Regardless of the situation, I'm going to finish with this team. These guys are my brothers. I've put in a lot of time and sweat and hard work with them and I'm going to finish it out with them."
Against Georgia, in a 33-3 Commodores loss, Johnson said Geisinger gave up a sack of Cutler and acted as if "he had just lost the Super Bowl, he was so upset. He is great captain and role model and I appreciate him very much."
Geisinger does not practice on Tuesdays and has limited time on Wednesdays, which are the two main workout days during the week. Johnson said even if a lineman were 100 percent healthy, missing that much practice would hurt his performance on Saturday.
"It is tough (not practicing)," Geisinger says. "Luckily I've been in the system a long time, so mentally I feel like I have the system down. Experience definitely helps me, but obviously it is not the best thing not to get a full week of practice. But in order to play, that's what I have to do."
Don't go looking for an excuse from Mr. Geisinger, because you are not going to get one. And you are also not going to tell him the rest of the season does not matter.
"(The injury) is definitely hindering me," he says. "It's a little bit frustrating and disappointing, but at the same time, I need to step up and pick up my game regardless of injury. I have to push through it and I've been trying to do that to the best of my ability. As a captain on the team, I can't let that slow me down. I need to step up and help lead this team, especially through these last three SEC games. We have a chance to really do something."
Vanderbilt (2-6, 1-4) hosts Florida (4-4, 2-4) Saturday at 1 p.m. at Vanderbilt Stadium.

Camping with cats?
I'm going to be going camping next month and I'm deciding on whether or not to take my cat. My cat has never been alone so I don't want to leave her in the house by herself. My only two options are to take her with me or have someone else watch her.
I'd prefer to take her with me, but I'm not sure if she would find it too stressful. Has anyone taken their cats camping? Was it a good or bad idea?

In my honest opinion, I would not take your cat camping, and definitely not in a tent. There are too many bigger, meaner creatures that could hurt her or make her sick. Or, she could get lost. It's a big, scary world out there and a frightened cat can be really hard to find. Especially if she has not been outdoors at all.
Your best bet would be to find a trusted friend to visit her once or twice a day, or board her at a kennel. You would have the peace of mind that she will be safe and taken care of, so you can enjoy your camping trip :)
Cleopatra 8/4/96-7/18/13 answered on 4/11/09. Helpful? / 2
I agree with Cleopatra. I would not do it. There is far too much risk of losing her in an unfamiliar place and no real benefit for Matilda. She will be much better off at home with someone to check on her. When I travel, I have professional pet sitters that come in once a day for feeding, litterbox scooping and cuddles. And then, just to be sure, I have a friend that stops by once or twice to make sure the sitters are doing their job. (paranoid Mom) But I know my babies are safe in the home they are familiar with and that nothing can happen to them.
Allie answered on 4/11/09. Helpful? / 0
I know it's hard to leave your kitty behind but I agree with the other posters. Matilda will feel much more comfortable in her own home with a pet sitter or friend checking on her rather than going camping. Safety is definitely the biggest reason not to bring her as the other posters stated. She could get lost and there are very scary predators out there who would be very interested in a kitty. There was a story about a kitty getting lost on a family camping trip in the Cat's Meow blog not too long ago blogs.catster.com
I have a really hard time leaving Lucy behing when I go out of town. To ease my mind, I have a petsitter come twice a day to feed her and give her love. The truth is, as much as I worry about her, she spends most of her time sleeping : )
Lucy Nooner answered on 4/11/09. Helpful? / 0
I agree with the other posters. Don't take your cat camping, and use the services of a pet sitter if possible. Depending on how long your trip is and what you feed your cat, you could also consider leaving her at home alone. I used to do this with my brother/sister duo, for up to five days; they ate dry food, so I'd just load up on food and water for them, and they were so close that they never seemed terribly lonely. This weekend, i went out of town with Harvey for a cat show, and I left the other five alone with dry food and water. My biggest worry was that the three kittens, who are Maine Coons who are big on splashing water all over the place, would deplete the water supply, but everything was fine when I got back. However, for a single kitty, it might get lonesome, and having someone check your cat regularly is, obviously, the better idea.
Harvey answered on 4/12/09. Helpful? / 0
Go the petsitting route, definitely. A good professional petsitter will answer all the questions and concerns you have free of charge, and will also ask you questions about your kitty, and will do a consulting visit for free before you contract him or her. We (humans and the cats) love our pet sitter. We usually try to have the first visit during a new trip happen while we're still packing to leave, so that the cats can get reacquainted with her with their humans around.
Another option is to ask a friend or relative that Matilda already knows and trusts to look in on her. We've done that too, when we've been able to arrange it.
My cats are ok with traveling with me, and sometimes have, but I would never dream of taking them camping. Like Cleopatra mentioned, there are all sorts of wildlife out there that could be a danger to your cat, plus she might get frightened and lost. I'd keep Matilda where it's safest for her, and just give her extra snuggles when you come back.

I think its according to how old and how well your cat is attached to you. We took out kitten camping with us in a tent. He had a litter box, food and water. During the day we let him go with us out side the tent. He never wondered off but then again he was a total mommas boy and scared of everything. he loved it when it was cool at night. He was an indoor kitty and this was the only time he got to spend out side. If you cat is an outside cat, there is no way i'd take the kitty camping. When they are outside cats they are used to having to watch for danger. So it makes em bolder. Bold in a camping area isnt good. He will run away and be scared. If you have to leave her home. Let the neighbor or family come check on her in her home. Leave the T.V on it will give her company. I think she will be just fine by herself but if you want to leave her with someone thats fine too. its up to what you thinks best for your baby.

Princess goes camping with us all the time in our holiday trailer. I have her in a harness and on a leash when she is outside with us, and she truly does love it. Her dog friend, Tobi, and her share the back seat of the truck while we drive and they are both harnessed and seatbelted. She loves to go in the car or truck as long as she is not confined to a kennel.

I think it starts with the right cat. We had a cat years ago, Niles. He was an indoor/outdoor cat (all current cats are indoor). He loved to go with us to visit a friend's trailer. Of course he considered every domain his. I would suggest an overnight practice camping trip in your own yard or area. We have had great success finding out which cat would be best with a sitter & which would be best to travel with us. We have always 'trained' or conditioned cats to respond to the Italian for 'let's go' since they were kittens. It's helpful when we try to round them up and they have all responded to it knowing cuddling or a treat or a ration of food is the reward. We started that after Niles was killed, so every kitten since then has been trained to the command. We have had the odd escape from home. Calling their name didn't do it. As soon as we say the 'let's go' command, they come running.
We have 2 cats. One I would take camping & the other not. Since they get along, we don't take either

I've taken Fred camping since he was 4 mo. old he's now 6 mo. He loves it. I have an rv so he is mostly inside. I have a lg. dog encloser I put him in on the deck for short times and only if I'm out with him. He doesn't try to get out when he's home or at the camper but asks to go in the enclosure at the camper.

The San Antonio Spurs (3-0) have now won three games in a row to kickoff the 2012-13 NBA season with a 110-100 win over the Utah Jazz. Danny Green paced the Spurs with 21 points, going 3-3 from the three-point line, 8-9 from the field, three assists and one steal in 32:30 minutes. The Jazz were led by Mo Williams who scored a game-high 29 points in 38:32 minutes. Here is a quarter-by-quarter recap of tonight's Spurs' win. First quarter: Spurs Stat Leader - Danny Green with 10 points, shooting 4-4 from the field, and 2-2 from the three-point line. Recap - It was an inside-out game with Danny Green and Tony Parker doing most of the damage. Green knocking down shots and TP was getting into the paint and nailing outside shots as well. The Spurs defense was in full effect as well as the rim was shut for Utah early in the game. However, the Jazz started to get to the paint including a monster dunk on Tim Duncan by Derrick Favors to close the gap. But the Spurs defense was just too much for the Jazz early in the game as San Antonio held Utah to 31.8% shooting (7-22). The Spurs shot a blistering 66.7%. Score - Spurs 28, Jazz 17. Second quarter: Spurs Stat Leader - Tony Parker with 14 points, five assists, 6-8 shooting. Recap - Gary Neal got the Spurs scoring going with a bucket to start the second with Manu Ginobili showing no signs of any back spasm issues which kept him out of the first two games of the season. San Antonio's defense was still firing on all cylinders, keeping the Jazz at bay, including Tiago Splitter showing much aggressiveness on both ends of the court. San Antonio got balanced scoring during the quarter including a few long distance bombs from Matt Bonner. Though Utah's Gordon Hayward would have a nice quarter (six points) but much like the first quarter, Spurs' defense was just too much for the Jazz. Utah shot 45.2% while San Antonio shot 74.3%. Green continued to perform well scoring 13 points and going 3-3 from three-point line. Score - Spurs 60, Jazz 46. Third quarter: Spurs Stat Leader - Tony Parker with 18 points, six assists, two steals, shooting 7-16. Recap - Utah came out firing hitting outside shots and scoring in the paint. Mo Williams got called for a flagrant one foul when he horse-collared Parker early in the second. The game got a little sloppy as Green coughed the ball up and TP got called for traveling. San Antonio cooled off from the field in the quarter after a hot-shooting first half. After a big lead of 19 in the first-half, Utah began chipping away at the lead as the Spurs' defense relaxed which allowed the Jazz to close the gap and head into the third quarter tied at 79. Utah went on a 13-0 run to end the third with Mo Williams hitting 11 points in that run. Score - Spurs 79, Jazz 79 Fourth quarter: Spurs Stat Leader - Recap - Nando De Colo started the final quarter in place of Neal. Utah's Williams continued his hot -shooting keeping the Jazz in the game. More calls were made on the Spurs frustrating Splitter on the defensive end. He was much more aggressive defensively but the refs were quick with the whistle. Kawhi Leonard picked up up the defense for San Antonio which kept Utah at arms-length including key defensive rebounds. Green continued his hot play for the Spurs as he was driving to the rim, passing to TD for easy buckets, moving without the ball for easy scoring opportunities, and hitting his outside shots. Final Score - Spurs 110, Jazz 100 Quotes: Jazz coach Ty Corbin on the Spurs: "They're a great team in their home building. You've got to believe you can beat them." Tim Duncan on facing Al Jefferson: "He's a load. He's very skilled. I like the way he plays. I got to work the entire game to keep him out of his sweet spots." Duncan on Kawhi Leonard's improved defense: "Pop is trying to turn him into that defender we need on the perimeter." Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich on stemming Utah's late run: "I thought our guys executed well in the fourth quarter. Kawhi (Leonard) and Danny (Green) obviously were big offensively." Gordon Hayward on the Spurs: "I think we just realized we've got to fight these guys." Mo Williams on the Spurs: "San Antonio is a great team. I felt like we gave them too much respect when we came out." Coach Pop on Tiago Splitter: "He's starting to feel comfortable playing basketball again." Popovich on the return of Manu Ginobili: "He looked fine. He could have gone back into the game. He felt pretty good. I just opted not to do that." Jazz Paul Milsap on the Spurs' win: "We put ourselves within reach to win the game, but their veterans came through." Jazz Mo Williams on the Spurs: "I felt like we gave them too much respect coming out." Miscellaneous: Jazz are now 2-18 all time in the AT&T Center. Spurs are now 3-0 when outscoring their opponents in the paint. Spurs 44, Jazz 38 points in the paint.

Today we tackle four topics revolving around the 'blame game' in sports, and who should and should not receive the credit for a team winning.
Transcript - Not for consumer use. Robot overlords only. Will not be accurate.
But now our Silicon Valley school. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Fun game. -- -- Well we've solved it finally -- -- sports radio and W -- and I can't do agree about. You've worked on. This in honor of him speaking like a different human being on Seth Meyers they're telling him at all. He is really strange -- of course featuring John Legend could. Or force for occupancy beyond your technology ally in business to manage -- now let's see beyond manager technology MI integrity windows and doors why Kanye. She stands on is the blame. Game all the blame game we're playing them the day. Day. Who we blame report that a lot of people bet right now I'm very. Absolutely or question who do you blame -- there Jessica Parker being so ugly -- is not ugly. -- you for thinking Robert Byrd Phillies a beautiful we should not stop it. It -- so it probably try to Auburn person Andy who will get down on -- -- would -- -- I would get I think they make a change and be with you use our current person. You would be blown away I'll take that -- Well. Product and I will center on a fellow cup car. York and fear. At Auburn person that you knew her. You would be obsessed. Which sweltering is that teachers so what's more active than you'd ever shot right about it yet. Now. To close them cover -- sure this is quick for more attractive -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- While I -- saying. Whatever what it. All right the patriots have been to three AFC championship game in a row and I'm not on the super couple who deserves more blame for the pats post season failures Brady. -- -- -- Her name. Game we -- that. Brady. -- Tom Brady to Obama steal my team but you're gonna get you look at. In the first -- You know 07 hired high scoring -- highest score profits at that time FL history. He did not play well along with many of his teammates let the quarterback gets the blame. As we saw this last Super Bowl Peyton Manning it's always comes back and quarterbacks don't blame him for that. Not playing well I blame them for not playing well -- these giant. In the second -- Including not being prepared very early in the game giving up points giving up that statement so -- urged. Other -- Wales it's Bill Belichick because of that too tight and dolphins Michael you know will never work for any team to a tight ends. I'll start to gimmick that's the collar right that gimmicky too tight end offense. -- ST from Fall River today I won't give you that but I do think that probably Belichick more than radio although both need to share and it is because. -- what's around the -- both with Jared earlier and who to blame or by Gary question I'm saying Belichick I think I've given you the answer I said Bill Belichick. I blame Bill Belichick more. I just think if there was more around rating in more on the defensive side of the football the patriots would have faired better -- -- -- when someone else yes. I don't know let me just let them any. And combat Pakistan out of there and my man Pakistan out of there. The person just. You'd think because he's been injured they've lost to view those games that's the problem. Since you started that state they're back in 2006 Brady started to grow up in the downhill from each other quick -- would Yoko I kind of agree so we -- umbrella and are -- tiger and and it. -- -- Carmichael tanking has been a hot story across the NBA this season the box 76ers and Celtics are -- tank Mota who deserves the most blame. But the phenomenon of tanking in the NBA I don't blame anybody for this this is just the nature of. Basketball unfortunately. Is the one game played with -- only twelve guys really on your roster only five guys out there once star players may. Basketball -- the way it is that's not anybody's ball I guess lame doctor James Nate Smith. -- creating the game that way that's the NBA. You need to have star players in order to win in that sport and tanking helps get to the star players blame that's the way -- Muslim David Stern were changing the lottery system. I don't know he was trying to stop thinking. With two or three teams so you don't have -- with two or three teams now you have up to ten. Go back to that original system where there is no pale there's no payoff. For tanking you may get the number one pick for being the worst team. You may get the campaign. And I don't think it should be anything like -- waited for this team is that bad so its way to have a better shot here picked lower than that whenever now -- go to a flat out. Lottery system. You -- red baron. You have heard -- young parent there you know overseeing the entire process and you just draw -- -- about the perception that wanna miss shielded. But David Stern wanted Patrick Ewing in New York to go back little old lottery system. Factory. Jerry Jones Dan Snyder Donald Sterling Jeffrey -- all deserve blame for their team's failures. So which owner in sports deserves the most blame for their teams socket are you just mentioned. Jeffrey -- is definitely the answer. I mean Jerry jones' teams don't stink right I mean that they have a whining for the most -- and -- had just trying to describe we have made I don't know what do doorway trying -- sterling that terrible owner he could be on the meat -- number two the -- wells are awful and Arizona and sometimes -- won despite themselves are yet they went went to -- -- Jeffrey -- is like the worst human being in sports who owns the team. My hatred for Jeffrey -- knows no bounds and it's all because of the way he steals from the revenue sharing system. I think it's the most filthy disgusting thing in sports here's a revenue system revenue sharing system set up. To help teams like the Florida Marlins compete with the Red Sox yankees -- that are -- which I think is a good thing. You are good they'll -- a lot of money takes -- pockets it uses it for himself. And that doesn't spend the money and his team I think that is this -- it gets an ownership should be about owning a team in the public interest and he doesn't do that at all he -- it in his own interest and nothing else. Different look okay that's a really go once -- I'm gonna give you a contender for Jeffrey -- Well -- it affords in Detroit you mentioned Matthew Stafford how. You know he's not gonna win a super ball nobody's gonna win the super folder for a long time have won a championship -- he gets he gets here. Elvis was doing his thing but let's call it 1957. Ever want an NFL championships since 1957. They have never ever been to a Super Bowl. They hired Matt Millen -- allowed him to drive draft a receiver every freaking years bid. When they moved on from Matt Millen. The public and M and thing if they went up from Matt Millen to Martin Mayhew who also sucks as a general manager. And it keeps making the same mistakes over and over they fired Jim short break it -- short ever get a real coach but again. Jim Kolbe. This is a bad organization so. It is it is all it all starts with that -- I don't know that a door was taking Kabul and support are taking competence over evil before -- carnival Jeffrey -- is are -- incompetent and -- -- Tony Romo take a lot of blame for the cowboys stink -- over the last couple years Terry Jones came on defended him and said don't blame him blame me. Many players have been assigned blame for their team's failures which player in recent history least deserve blame for their team -- Well you just mentioned them younger and -- talked about Tony Romo. Who has taken the brunt of the criticism. For the cowboys failures you say 88 cowboys in the conversation always goes back Tony Romo I've been here when it was glory hole days and I've been here when it was. And so head and said that. I won't Mason -- get -- through now. The probably blaming Romo is it that catalyst this guy. Off the hook the guy just spoke about glory hole once Gordon and Jerry Jones you want to some glory hole it's what you should. Like -- -- got a lot of money but you know what NFL glory hole step away from being the general manager of your team. Allow somebody else to come in and may cool measured. Mark decisions about the future of the Dallas job I totally agree you you know that person should do first things get rid of Tony Romo it's all his fault -- Limited under the I'm trying to think of somebody or I don't extra ambulance department -- a Carmelo that's -- Carmelo Anthony the next. You take from the knicks right now all the benefits of Carmelo pick Carmelo -- the next coaching staff included. What's your -- from the New York Knicks. What are your talent level they sock. Today thought gen art to let it all -- -- all products. Playing golf for Carmelo Anthony and getting a good job of coaching last year from Mike Woodson this year not so much but get a nice job -- -- Don't have anybody that you would want on your team right I think Chandler now that now. And the -- -- are not about now. Certainly not Raymond Felton. So Carmelo destination bring -- back to run that thing. You get the -- get the move into their direction is still doing it a true I don't have an undisputed he must have been looking for one and I have come up with a good. About the brawl on -- before they started winning but I think he was very much at fault for another -- -- pieces -- good guys are priceless art. Miguel Cabrera and Josh Beckett from 2012 doesn't deserve the blame. -- -- but the entire opera doesn't deserve all I don't blame now I needed to Terry Francona nobody deserves to 201269. Wins his next year for. I think I got hurt. A-Rod body's down times terrible. They registers every -- guests it was a match if most of these people deserve the blame but I think best players when they don't win generally deserve the blame. Thought I don't I don't really buy into the question. I think all of these people deserve the plan to do the best player and your team and your team stinks. That's your -- some of the blame shortly don't win it now okay now now street. He generally deserve the play -- you just -- I'm not I'm not saying there -- got our world in this that you have to continue. To tell me about your theory. Here's your theory kind of back you know vast lakes. -- -- -- Now because mostly it's the coach of the or the yeah yeah you always -- GM budget for Bernard for bringing in that got off.

Facebook is testing two new features this week, in hopes of making it a bit easier to navigate the sea of comments usually found on popular posts.
The first addition is the ability to reply to specific comments – a change that improves the way users interact in discussions, or at least in theory. This feature can potentially save a lot of scrolling for individuals absolutely bent on following a conversation in the comments section, but some users say that it generates unnecessary clutter.
The reply capability is currently limited to News Feeds and threaded discussions, the second enhancement that rolled out this week.
"This current test sorts comments by Likes and replies, but it is not personalized for each user as it is with the comments plugin. With the plugin, Facebook will show comments from a user's friend or friend of friend first. This would be useful for page comments as well, so we'll see if it makes it into another iteration of the test."
In recent years Facebook has funneled a lot of resources into making ads more relevant to the user, in hopes of boosting low click-through rates that still draw criticism from marketers. It invested considerably less in making the content people actually care about more accessible, but this latest update seems to be a step in the right direction.
Building smarter social tech
Facebook, which operates one of the largest Hadoop clusters in the world, is lagging behind the industry in terms of its targeting capability, in spite of an apparent technological advantage over many of its peers. And vendors such as the recently funded DataSift are quickly filling in the gaps.
The social media analytics startup raised $15.25 million in a second round of funding announced yesterday, not long after an equally significant update from the mobile space: Millennial Media entered into a data alliance with MediaVault. Meanwhile in the Google camp, Viralheat added G+ support to its social sharing extension for Chrome after "roughly 30 percent [of its users] inquired about Google+ integration."

Glam And Elegant
This cake was a lot of fun. Originally when the bride ordered this cake and wanted the colors to be peach and grey I didnt think it was going to look good. But when it was done it turned into one of my favorites. The sash around the top and bottom tiers matched the sash around her dress. The piping on the three mini tiers matched her invitations. And the quilting matched the linens and table cloths at the reception. I included hand made broaches to match the crystal jewelry that was in her flower bouquets. All in all I really thought this cake went together wonderfully.

Dustin Pedroia said after the Red Sox' 6-3 win over the Tigers Tuesday night at Fenway Park that he has been diagnosed with having a slight tear in the adductor muscle in his right thumb. The second baseman explained the injury first occurred while hitting three weeks ago, and was aggravated during Monday's game.
The most recent diagnosis came after Dr. Donald Sheridan, whom performed surgery on Pedroia's hamate bone following the 2007 season, viewed an MRI of the thumb after the team and player sought a second opinion.
Pedroia and the Red Sox will wait until Wednesday to determine if a trip to the 15-day disabled list is needed, with the 28-year-old saying the plan was for him to see how much the swelling went down and then gauging if he could hit with a specially-made brace. Pedroia surmised that if he wasn't able to play, or if it was decided that continued activity would risk further damage, the recovery time would be between 3-4 weeks.
"I'm optimistic," Pedroia said. "We're still talking about it. Hopefully the swelling and stuff goes down and I won't miss that much time." He later added when asked what was needed to be shown Wednesday to stay away from the disabled list. "I don't have to show them anything. I've played with injuries before. It's just a matter of me being able to swing with a brace on it or something. So I'm going to go get something made, see how it feels and if I can't do it then I think it's 3-4 weeks. Hopefully it's not that."
Both Pedroia and Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington said the prospect of surgery was never mentioned. Cherington also said that the injury only appears to bother Pedroia when he is hitting, and doesn't appear to affect his throwing.
"Well, I think he would do everything tomorrow if we ask him to do it, it's not so much seeing what he can do, it's listening to him, seeing how he's feeling, he felt a lot better today," Cherington said. "Factoring in the opinions of the medical staff and how much we can protect it, how that risk-reward balance shifts. As far as playing short that's never what you want to do. Sometimes we are willing to do it in the right situation and when you have one of your best players there's a chance that you're going to go on the DL, sometimes you have to make that compromise on that roster. We're not there yet."
"We've been talking about, but I heal quick so I guess that's a good thing," said Pedroia when asked about the chance of going on the disabled list. "So hopefully I don't have to go on the DL and I can help the team as fast as I can."
Cherington reiterated that the injury was not nearly as severe as the one sustained by Kevin Youkilis in 2010, when the Red Sox infielder was forced to have surgery due to a tear in his adductor muscle. The difference, he explained, was that with Youkilis there was a tendon which pulled off a bone.
"Youk's was a lot worse," Pedroia added. "Youk had some other things. Actually I lucked out because where I did mine was in the meatiest part of my thumb. So there is some good news."

What dog breed is this?
I saw a wild or stray dog running around in Tennessee. It had a black and white spotted coat, greyish in color, had big ears, and looked very carnivorous. It looked like an African Wild Dog, but that theory is improbable. What is it?

Was it bald? It could hae been a Xoloitzcuintle (AKA Mexican Hairless Dog) or just a regular mutt.

It could have been a catahoula leopard dog. They look a bit like wild dogs, and are a southern breed.

Category: Top 100 boys' names
George vaulted halfway up our boys' popularity list for 2013, thanks to the naming of the little British Prince George Alexander Louis. George went from Number 92 for the first half of the year all the way up to Number 56 at the year's three-quarter mark.
At the same point last year, George did not even rank in the Top 100.
The other boys' name in the news making a strong showing on our list is Kieran, which attracted some controversy after it was chosen for the newly-adopted African-American grandson of Mitt Romney. The Irish Kieran means "little dark one."
But most names make our popularity list thanks to the interest of parents considering them for their babies. The list tallies which boys' names attracted the most views among the 14 million visits to our name pages for the first nine months of 2013.
by Pamela Redmond Satran and Linda Rosenkrantz
It was the Case of the Great Missing Baby Names Blog.
One of our most-read blogs of all time, a makeover of the top 100 most popular boys' names, disappeared from our archive. We didn't even notice it was gone until a Berry wrote wondering where it was. The girls' makeover, also written by Elisabeth Wilborn of You Can't Call It It, is still there. But the boys': stolen, zapped, vanished into thin air.
So we set out to fashion a new version, using the current popular boys' names list of 2012.
These are our suggestions of similar-but-different names you might substitute if you like the original boys' name, but it's just too popular.
On the boys' side of nameberry's Most Popular Names 2010, Henry edged out Finn to hang onto the Number 1 place that it's held for most of the year. If you count related names such as Finnian and Finnegan, however, the Finn family would be Number 1.
Oliver, the Number 1 boys' name in England but only Number 98 on the U.S. list, is in third place on the nameberry count and Jasper and Milo are the fastest risers in the boys' Top 10.
Nameberry's Most Popular Names 2010 list counts the number of times visitors to our site searched each name throughout the year, which we like to think gives the discerning baby namer an excellent insight into which names are attracting the most buzz. Our individual name pages received 4.5 million views in 2010, with top name Henry garnering nearly 10,000 searches. About two-thirds of our visitors are from the U.S., with another 20 percent from Canada, Australia, and the U.K.
None of our boys' Top 10 are on the national Top 10. The fashionable classic James is Number 11 on our list but only 18 on the U.S. popularity list.
The fastest rising boys' names are marked with an asterisk and include Sebastian, Sawyer, Declan, Silas, and Beckett.
