If the Bucks play their 2011-'12 schedule as it stands now, they would set a franchise record by playing 12 road games next January.
The schedule that was released earlier this week has the Bucks taking a five-game Western trip in early January and then playing a home game against San Antonio. The Bucks are then scheduled to take a three-game trip to Houston, Dallas and New Orleans before returning to the Bradley Center to play Golden State. Milwaukee would then face consecutive road games against Orlando, Miami, Oklahoma City and Chicago.
The Bucks have played 11 road games in a month in their history, going 4-7 in March of 2003, 7-4 in November of 1986, and 9-2 in February of 1971. They have also played 10 road games in a month several times, including last January.
The Bucks aren't the only team that would face challenging stretches in the schedule.
The 76ers are scheduled to play nine straight road games in December and early January.
The Knicks will play 10 of 12 games on the road in November.
New Orleans is scheduled to play 11 of 14 games away from home in November and December.
San Antonio will play 18 of 24 on the road, including nine straight during one stretch, in January and February.
The Lakers will be on the road for 11 of 16 games in December, and 11 of 14 in January and February.
The Clippers are scheduled to play 8 of 11 on the road in December, and 16 of 20 on the road in February and March.
The current schedule, though, may have to be revised or scrapped completely due to the lockout.

Four white-rot fungi isolated in Pakistan were used for decolorization of widely used reactive textile dyestuffs. Phanerochaete chrysosporium, Coriolus versicolor, Ganoderma lucidum and Pleurotus ostreatus were grown in defined nutrient media for decolorization of Drimarene Orange K-GL, Remazol Brilliant Yellow 3GL, Procion BluePX-5R and Cibacron Blue P-3RGR for 10 days in shake flasks. Samples were removed every day, centrifuged and the absorbances of the supernatants were read to determine percentage decolorization. It was observed that P. chrysosporium and C. versicolor could effectively decolorize Remazol Brilliant Yellow 3GL, Procion BluePX-5R and Cibacron Blue P-3RGR. Drimarene Orange K-GL was completely decolorized (0.2 g/l after 8 days) only by P.chrysosporium, followed by P. ostreatus (0.17 g/l after 10 days). P. ostreatus also showed good decolorization efficiencies (0.19–0.2 g/l) on all dyes except Remazol Brilliant Yellow (0.07 g/l after 10 days). G. lucidum did not decolorize any of the dyestuffs to an appreciable extent except Remazol Brilliant Yellow (0.2 g/l after 8 days).

Mina's Song is a song that was play by the Forget Me Knots, and sung by Mina Mongoose at a concert. It was first brought up when Ash Mongoose suggested to send a message telling the people of New Mobotropolis about why they should take action against NICOLE. When Geoffery St. John and Ixis Naugus heard the concert, Naugus used his magic to influence the crowd. Sonic the Hedgehog, Sally Acorn, and NICOLE, who were in the crowd at the concert, knew what Mina was up to and decided to talk to her about it. (STH #221)

- In the day

- why won't anyone listen?
- I can't always be jumping at shadows!
- I can't always be running away!
- I won't be afraid!
- I'll save myself!

- it's up to us
- we won't live in fear of the city!

Background Information
- The song has been dubbed "Swan Song" by many because that was the original name of the issue it debutted in.
- This song's lyrics and feelings bear similarities to Panic Attack by the band Dream Theatre

Jim Perdue
Philippians 2:12-18
*The other day I got a crazy idea so I went on the web and typed in the word ''diet'' on Google's search engine site. I was amazed! I got over 605 million hits off that one word. I mean, there was more there than you could ever imagine. If I decided to take the time and look through all of the responses, I'd still be looking right now. It had everything from the Atkins Diet, to the South Beach Diet, from e-diet to the cyber-diet, from the Diet Channel to Diet Coke. I mean, come on. How many of you guys have heard of Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig. I know Sarah Lee and Betty Crocker a lot better than I know Jenny Craig! Take a moment sometime and begin to read and compare the different promises of diet companies. It's amazing what these diets offer. Raw Food Diet… So now there's this magic pill that I can take to lose 50 or 60 pounds in a few days. You now, the Diet Industry is a multi-billion dollar industry. They've got everything from plans to pills; from the ThighMaster to ''Buns of Steel.''*
But here's my conclusion after all of the hype. There are still NO SHORTCUTS to being healthy and in shape. Reputable doctors still say that if you want to lose weight, the best way to do it is to watch what you eat and exercise regularly. Now, I know that's not really what we want to hear. We like the easy way out…we like the fast-food/drive-through answer. But the truth is, there's no miracle cure. It takes hard work.
That's why love playing racquetball! I realize that the only way to get in shape and to stay in shape is hard work. And I have to be in shape if I'm going to be able keep up with four small children! It hit me the other day…if I work so hard every day to keep in shape physically, what am I doing to keep myself in shape spiritually. READ TEXT

Hey! A while ago I went to Lido with my friend from Luxembourg. Of course we ate so much and got a lido typical food baby. Charming. I love the water zorbing activity. I always go to it, no matter what I'm wearing and no matter how hot it is in there.
It's not as easy as it looks.

The list is replete with hedge fund names one might expect to see – Ray Dalio, James Simons, David Tepper, Ken Griffin.

At the same time, they are doubling down on risk management to better balance long-term growth objectives and liquidity needs, but say they need better ways of identifying risk across their portfolios. Sixty-two percent of institutional managers feel they can handle near-term market risk despite greater volatility, which they say poses the biggest risk to their performance. Their top organizational concern, however, is low yield. Given the prospect for greater volatility and persistence of low interest rates, few institutions are relying on traditional portfolio strategies to meet their performance goals. Instead they are increasing their exposure to equities and alternatives and turning to illiquid assets and the private markets for risk-managed return generation and yield replacement.

But Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, is starting to look like the Steve Jobs of hedge funds: exacting, infuriating and -- there's no way to sugarcoat it -- kind of odd. The singular culture Dalio has fostered inside Bridgewater, the world's largest hedge fund, was on full display Wednesday, when he announced that the man he'd hired to help run his $160 billion firm, and presumably set the stage for a smooth succession, had abruptly departed. That executive, Jon Rubinstein, knew from tough bosses: he'd worked for Jobs...

Endowments with assets under $25 million lost an average 0.5 percent on hedged strategies in the year ended June 30, according to a survey by a trade group that represents college business officers. Overall these funds gained 2.3 percent, just below the average for endowments of all sizes. The Standard & Poor's 500-Stock Index gained 4.6 percent in that time. These returns, along with high fees, are of concern to Hedge Clippers, a group that says pension funds and endowments aren't getting their money's worth by investing with these managers. Shifting assets away from such high-fee investments means an endowment could pay out more money to lower tuition costs, according to a separate report set for release Monday.

While a handful of big name traders have profited from some of oil's 35 percent plunge, it has been computer-based or "systematic" funds which have captured much of the spoils. These black box funds use programs to follow various asset classes and look to latch on to market trends.

But as just the consideration of the withdrawal of quantitative stimulus caused a degree of volatility in stocks, most recently witnessed in August through September's double bottoming formation, the need to hedge a portfolio against what several government-related sources had warned could be a volatility-laced market environment is upon fund managers like it or not.

Christine Black
put my 7yr old saluki/greyhound on this as I thought she was too ribby looking and thin. She works hard keeping my springer spaniels fit. since being on this for 1month she has got very good condition without putting on weight. would recommend.

Pam Anderson
My fussy greyhound loves this food. After a long struggle I have final found something that she wants to eat.
Sam Haughton
I was worried when I first purchased my product was it the right decision for my dog and would I regret my purchase. No is the answer A cheeper alternative to my usual food and my dog is happy and healthy. Well done VetUK
Miss S Milliner
I fed my pet lurchers this on its own, but they prefer it mixed 75:50 with Burgess greyhound/lurcher food. Cheaper than the other brand, that's why I changed, so am glad they like it as a mixed ratio.
Carol Burton
I first bought this product when my usual one was out of stock but I am glad I did as it suits my greyhound much better than the old one, he enjoys it and his poo's are nice and firm :)

Phone and tablet sales will continue to rise in 2014 and 2015 as PC shipments remain on a downward trend, according to the latest predictions from Gartner. By 2015, the research firm estimates that one out of every two devices shipped will be an Android device.
Tablet sales are expected to climb by 38.5 % in 2014 and by 29 % in 2015. In the phone market, where overall sales volumes are much higher, shipments rise by a more modest 4.8 % and 3 % respectively in the two years in question. Things are looking less rosy for the PC market, where Gartner estimates shipments will decline by 6.5 % in 2014 and 4.9 % in the following year. However, both of these figures indicate a slower drop in sales than the estimated 11.3 % decline in 2013, reported by the research firm last October.
In terms of volume, Gartner predicts the sale of 1.89 billion mobile phones, 276 million PCs and 270 million tablets in 2014. Gartner estimates that a total 2.48 billion devices will be sold over the current year, representing a 6.9 % increase over 2013.
Among operating systems, sales will increase for Windows, iOS/OS and Android alike over the coming two years, but Android is poised to strengthen its leading market share. Gartner forecasts that Google's operating system will be present on 51 % of devices sold worldwide in 2015 (compared to 38% in 2013 and 47% in 2014).

The world's "fastest" electric bicycle is to go on sale in London next month, with some hailing it the answer to lazy commuters' dreams.
The push bike with an electric motor also has a "rocket boost" button for added speed during off-road riding. There are two versions, the A2B Metro and the A2B Hybrid, which means the rider can motor along or get an added boost as they pedal.
The batteries run for up to 20 miles and can be charged using a mains plug, which costs from 7p and takes about five hours.
As the motors cut out at the legal limit of 15mph, manufacturers claim riders do not need a licence or pay road tax, insurance or the congestion charge. With more torque and greater acceleration than any other electric bicycle, its creators believe the machine can convert London's commuters to a "greener" mode of transport.
Julie Farrington, from manufacturer Ultra Motor, said: "It is a product people are really excited by because of its quality. In the past, electric bikes have been prototypes because the technology has not really been there — but now the technology has progressed enough to mean it is a more viable option."
The popularity of electric bicycles has been growing, with 21 million sold in China last year. In Germany powerassisted bicycles are the single largest category of bikes sold.
But Charlie Lloyd, cycling development officer from the London Cycling Campaign, was sceptical about whether Londoners would follow the trend.
He said: "The disadvantage is that you have to charge it and the battery tends not to last very long if you go fast and push them hard. Plus they are much heavier than a bike and three or four times as expensive."
The bikes will be available from The Electric Transport Shop in Holloway, north London, or Digital Toys in Brentford, Middlesex, and cost £1,999.
There was confusion over whether the new bicycle would comply with UK legislation because of the "boost" button — giving it a top speed of 20mph.
The Driver and Vehicle and Licensing Agency said bikes over that speed needed licences.
However, the Department for Transport said as long as the bicycle was not ridden faster than 15mph on a public road, no law would be broken. A spokesman said: "An electric motor on a bicycle must not be able to propel the machine when it is travelling at more than 15mph.
"If it does not comply to this restriction it will need to be registered, insured and is subject to Vehicle Excise Duty and so must display a tax disc. "The rider will need an appropriate driving licence and will have to wear an approved motorcycle safety helmet."

Commemorate one of the most important days of your life with fashionable wedding jewelry. Wedding rings and engagement rings are available in a variety of styles, making the shopping process quite involved. You have a several options for making sure that your wedding ring matches your engagement ring in a sleek and modern way. Consider the metals and stones when shopping for a wedding band and don't forget about bridal sets. Use these tips to match your wedding band to your engagement ring.
Metals: Shopping by metal is one of the easiest ways to choose matching wedding jewelry. If your engagement ring is made of white gold, then be sure to look at white gold wedding bands. Yellow gold wedding rings look best with yellow gold engagement rings. Some two-tone wedding jewelry is available. Two-tone jewelry incorporates both yellow gold and white gold into one cool design. Two-tone wedding rings are great for brides and grooms who like to accessorize with a wide variety of jewelry styles.
Stone shape: Some wedding bands are plain, but others incorporate diamonds or colorful gemstones into the design. If you choose a wedding band with stones, consider the shapes of the stones in your engagement ring to find a matching wedding ring. Stone shapes don't have to match exactly, but an engagement solitaire with a round stone may look best with an eternity band that has channel-set round diamonds.
Modern vs. contemporary: In most cases, vintage engagement rings look best with antique wedding bands and modern engagement solitaires look with best with contemporary wedding rings. Isolate the wedding band designs that best mimic the style of your engagement ring to make the shopping process simple.
Bridal sets: Bridal sets make choosing matching wedding jewelry very simple. Bridal sets incorporate both the engagement ring and wedding band into one lovely piece. The engagement ring can be worn on its own, as can the wedding ring, but the pieces fit together like a puzzle when you want to wear both. Bridal sets are available in a range of styles to suit your personal taste.

"As Wurstfest's goodwill ambassador it is my job to make sure everyone attending Wurstfest has a good time," said 1997 Grosse Opa Tart Mund. Each year die Wurstfest Association selects one of its 200-plus members to serve as "Grosse Opa." This honorary title, meaning "Big Gtanddaddy," is bestowed upon a mem ber for his loyalty, dedication and willingness to participate. The "Grosse Opa" serves as the official "Spass Moister" (fin master) and is responsible for demonstrating "Gemuetlichkeit" (fan and fellowship in the German tradition). Mund formally was elected to his position in April 1997. CAkA#laiU scneauw — Page9A Mund and his wife, Wallie, have made Wurstfest a family tradition since the 1960s. "As an Opa I have worked in many different areas. My favorite, though, is greeting people at the gate," he said. "I love to live and have fan." Mund, who had been an Opa since the late 1960s, said he volunteered as much time as he could each year to Wurstfest. "Wurstfest is an organization drat does so much for our community," he said.

A huge bonfire bums on a hill in Ireland. No "trick or treat" is heard. Instead, the hunters and farmers who worship die natural forces on which they depend recite an old Gaelic verse something like this: "Bide the Wic-can law ye must. In perfect love. in perfect trust. Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill; An ye harm none, do what ye will What yt send forth comes bach lo thee, So ever mind the Rule of Three. Follow this with mind and heart. And merry ye meet, and merry ye part. " Before ghosts, goblins, ghouls or any other creatures that go bump on Halloween night — before Halloween was called Halloween — Oct. 31 was "Samhain," the tire feast of "Summer's End." Pre-Christian Celtic people celebrated the last harvest of the year and recommitted themselves to their communities by building a huge communal bonfire, said the Rev. Paul Kelly of Hunter, ordained minister of Ancient Ways. Kelly spoke to the New Braunfels Unitarian Universalist Society Wednesday about the origins of Halloween traditions, especially the festival as it was celebrated in Britain before the coming of Christianity. "People would extinguish their individual hearth fires and relight them with an ember from the communal fire," he said. "Sharing the fire brought them together in a very special way — unity of fire, unity of community" At Samhain (Gaelic for "summer's end," pronounced SOW-in), the ancients believed the veil between the spirit world and the physical world was thinnest, Kelly said. People would honor the beloved dead, as modem Christians do on All Saint's Day. "Many would erect an altar to honor the dead," hie said. 'it would be a thing of joyful remembering" A family might set an extra place at the dinner table for a favorite ancestor. Pumpkins were not known to ancient Celts, r .y4^. I batta during Thursday night's Naef: Lamb killed friend, then himself Trial could end today By DAVID DEKUNDER Staff Writer Defendant John Charles Naef took the stand Thursday in his trial for the murders of John Patrick Lamb, 44. and Kelly Dougherty, 33, at Lamb's Spring Branch home in March 1996. Naef testified that Lamb shot his girlfriend to death then pointed the gun on himself and committed suicide. Naef said he heard gunshots after he heard Lamb and Dougherty arguing outside Lamb's trailer. Naef said Lamb asked him to stay at Lamb's house the night of March 26, so he could collect money he said Lamb owned him for w ork he had done. By 11 to 11:30 p.m. that night Lamb was getting nervous, he said, because he had been unable to get the money from a drug deal he was arranging with an acquaintance. At that time Dougherty came to the front door of1 the trailer and tried to get in, but Lamb had locked foe front door, Naef said. "She knocked at the front door," Naef said "Pat had put the deadbolt lock on. Kelly started to holler. She started to get madder and threatened to throw something at foe window." Naef said Lamb stepped outside to confront Dougherty. 'They were talking and arguing," Naef said. "I heard two quick shots." "What did you do?" defense attorney Jim Pape said. "I sat there for a little bit," Naef said. "Pat then came back and set the flashlight down and said something to the effect, 'I did it. I did it.'" Naef said while he was trying to leave, he heard gun shots. He said when he looked back, he saw Lamb slumped on his couch after shooting himself with the gun the prosecution said Turn to Naef, Page 2A NBU authorizes legal help with GAA rules but people hollowed out huge turnips to carry as lanterns to the fire feast, Kelly said. Rather than the jack-o-lantcm faces of today, a design symbolizing each family was carved in a turnip. The word "witch" comes from foe Gaelic "wicca," or wise one. Wiccas were wise women and men, sages of the ancient pagan religion. They did not, however, invoke spirits, make "magic" or cast spells, Kelly said.

The connotation of evil beings associated with Halloween was imposed by early Christians, he jaid, seeking lo replace pagan beliefs with Christianity, using fear to drive people from foe old to the new religions. Evil ghosts, witches and the devil as we think of them today were not part of the Wiccan belief system, Kelly said. Turn to Hattowaan, Page 3A By SUSAN JAKOBSEN Staff Writer On the same evening the Edwards Aquifer Authonty met in San Antonio to approve new aquifer permitting and transfer rules. New Braunfels Utilities officials authorized lawyers to continue representing their interests in foe formulation of those rules. Both permit and transfer rules can affect Comal Springs in Lamia Park and NBU's ability to provide future utility serv ices. NBU trustees authorized Thurs- day the Austin law firm of Hutcheson and Grundy to continue representing NBU. Some 40 miles away, EAA officials voted Thursday to publish the final draft of rules and permits for aquifer use. The collection of regulations had been revised heavily since July prior to publication. "The EAA board received 200 some odd pages of rules at noon Thursday to digest and make a decision on tonight," Roger Biggers.

The plan went well. The fight was massive bigger than planned. But with slight delay the group got away. Only to find that when they got out no one knew where they were.
"We've never been out before" Peg says becoming scitterish at almost every movement.
"I've been out a bit only to eat though" Lopez says. He flicks a look at Life who squels and hide next to Drake.
"Son stop it" Drake snaps baring his teeth. Lopez bares his teeth back but weilds. Weather he likes it or not Drake's the alpha shifter.
"Except her Lopez. Dad loves her" Peg says standing sternly in front of him. Lopez looks at Life.
"Never" he growls then stawks off ahead.
"I'm sorry" Drake whispers trailing a hand through Life's hairs. Life cuddles into it hiding her tears.
"Me too. Lopez is just being stubborn cause he's upset" Peg says taking Life's hands in hers. "He will learn to except you"
Life nods then they continue on across the desert landscape. With occasional stops and Lopez staying with but away from the group.

Federal IT projects always seem to be ineffective, expensive, and slowly done. On the other hand, projects using new software development tools and approaches seem to get the job done fast and cheap.
Part of the approach is to separate code and data, and to do the software using private/public partnerships, maybe informal ones like AppsForDemocracy and Hackathons.
For example, the Coburn-Obama bill mandated that the OMB build a database of government grants and contracts. Sunlight Foundation funded a nonprofit, OMB Watch, to build a similiar database, took 'em eight months and $320,000.
The Coburn-Obama bill allocated $12 million for it.
Turns out OMB purchased the OMB Watch software, which is the basis for USASpending.gov.

Burnt Hot Dogs?
Cooking tips for the caring cook.
Oops! Burned those dogs??
- Here's a tip: Pick up a foil-roasting pan ahead of time. Grill your hot dogs until the skin turns a light brown. Then turn the heat to low and cover the hot dogs with the upside down pan. Leave it on until steam builds up -- about five minutes -- to finish cooking the hot dogs.
- Some people love blackened, cracked hotdogs off a grill. Add some A1 sauce and your hot dogs could taste like tube steak.
- Pile toppings on your hotdogs for a whole meal on a bun. Try some chili for a thick coney dog, but don't forget the Chedder cheese! Beans and more (beef chunks AND dairy) are excellent compliments to your hot dogs as are sauerkraut, ketchup mustard, onions and pickles.
Hot Dog Health Tip
Mound sauerkraut on your low fat hot dog to add cancer protection. Fermenting cabbage - already rich in cruciferous phytochemicals - releases isothiocyanates. These compounds are thought to protect cells from cancer.
