The time has come to sell off some of my rare OEM parts. I hate to do it, especially since I never got to see it installed in my car, but I'm selling my North American R32 instrument cluster. I bought this about 2 years ago from a fellow Vortexer out in California who was parting out an R32. It has the MFA screen, so in the top third of the screen it shows fuel economy (instantaneous and average), average speed, distance traveled, elapsed time, and (when enabled) distance remaining until the tank is empty. In addition, there are two separate sets of data. The first set of data resets after your car has been turned off for about two hours. The second set will continue to accumulate miles, time, etc., until you reset it manually or you reach 9999 miles or 99 hours. You toggle between the two sets with a button on the wiper stalk. (not included, but easily sourced online)
In the middle third of the screen, it shows the outside temperature, as read by the outside temperature sensor behind the drivers side front bumper grille. If the cluster is installed in an automatic or tiptronic, the bottom third of the screen will show the gear the car is in.
When I bought this cluster about 2 years ago I had it shipped to Nihilator (Check the 2nd link), to have him set it to "new" mode (meaning it has 0 miles on it) in order to make the adaptation process easier. If you're going to install this into an IMMO-III car (2002+) then you just need the SKC from your current cluster (for which you would need VagTacho or someone who has the appropriate program to retrieve it) and a licensed copy of VagCom. Here's a link to RossTech's site that explains about the Immobilizer and how to swap clusters:http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/Immobilizer
For those looking to upgrade to this cluster, please don't ask me a bunch of questions about how you can make this work, what else will I need, does it come with everything needed, etc. Just click the link to find out all you need to know:http://forums.thecarlounge.net/showt...UMENT CLUSTERS
**UPDATE 11-9: I recently came across old e-mails to/from Nihilator (G-mail backups from an old Hotmail account, tons to sift through), and in them he explains that the center LCD screen is faded and the light output in not very good. He mentions that he had performed a light output test on the cluster, testing horizontal and vertical lines of the center screen and he said it wasn't very bright and would be hard to read in warm weather, slightly better in cold weather. However, after MUCH research, I have found the following online vendor (Rick@lcdautotech) http://lcdautotech.com/ to take care of the repair. I've spoken with Rick and he strikes me as a straight shooter that knows what he's doing. He removes/replaces the original lcd screens with an OEM quality (not chinese Ebay crap) center lcd screen that is less prone to having this problem occur (I won't say resistant because I don't honestly know that). Anybody that has either a half-size MFA screen or full size FIS cluster that is fading out on them or giving them headaches, I would recommend checking them out
The cluster WAS removed from a California R32, and from my research the cars that suffer from the faded screens tend to have lived most their lives in warmer climates. Apparently the contacts on the back of the ribbon cable for the center screen get fried and cause the pixelation/missing lines/faded screen. It's also a common problem on the full size Audi screens (my brother's A4 for example). I realize that the repair costs around $100-$150, or more depending on where you choose to get it done, so I am a little more flexible on the price than I was before.***
I'm asking $225/shipped/Paypal'd or best reasonable offer. Lowballers will still be ignored, as will questions that have already been answered in the thread. Please use the links I have provided to learn a little about the instrument clusters, programs, parts, and labor associated with performing a swap like this before contacting me. If you have additional questions, would like more pictures or want to discuss price then send me a private message and I will respond quickly. For those that are serious about buying I will exchange more information about the repairs, a D.I.Y. alternative and the websites I have found that can do the repair. Check my signature for some other parts I'm selling as well, as I will do package deals and still have a few parts lying around from recent swaps. Thanks for looking.

Wedding Reception Party Ch. 05bybi_blk_slut©
I follow behind Katie as she leads the way to the elevator.
"You okay?" she asks as we made our way to her condo.
"I'm okay. It's just... Tisha and I got into some thing a little while ago and she's been super quiet ever since." I don't want to tell her we were made into her husband's friend's sluts. "But, anyway, enough about that. How about you? I'm surprised you and Trent aren't going out for his birthday."
She just smiles.
When we got upstairs Trent and Kyle were sitting on the couch watching a porno. They each gave me a hug—Trent then Kyle.
"Where's Kevin?" I asked Kyle, a bit nervous and excited.
"I don't know. He's been talking to some mystery girl on the phone the past week."
I run my hand down Kyle's chest. I can feel his abs through his shirt. "Football did you well."
He smacks my butt and grins.
"What about me?" Trent asks with a fake whine.
"You know the dark, mysterious, artist is a turn on," I say with a smile.
"How much of a turn on?" he asks, stepping into me, placing one hand around my waist.
I turn and look at Katie who is sitting on the couch now with her legs crossed seductively, sipping a Martini in a red lingerie nightie, the hints of which can bee seen beneath her black silk robe.
I turn my attention back to Trent and smile. "A huge turn on," I reply, grabbing his cock through his pants; he leans in and kisses me.
I feel Kyle press up against me from behind. His cock stiffening in his pants as it pokes against the thin fabric of my strapless, mini dress. He grips my waist and moans in my ear before nibbling on it.
"Not going to join?" I ask Katie when her husband removes his tongue from down my throat.
"I will later. For now, I just want to watch. Trent wants this. Make sure you please and service my husband well."
"You want this?" I ask Trent, stroking his cock beneath his pants.
"I wanted a threesome and since Katie's my wife, I'm not about to let another man to do her what me and Kyle are going to do to you. But you, you're just a slut."
Kyle unzips my dress from the back. He pushes the bottom of the dress up and exposes my lace panties that cover only half my ass. Trent pushes the top of the dress down so that it's bunched around my waist. The strapless lace bra is too tight and pushes my tits up and together. Trent runs his hands over the top of my smushed breasts. He glides his tongue over my chocolate tits.
I feel Kyle kissing and biting my ass cheeks as I hear him unzipping his zipper. I undo Trent's pants and begin to stroke his cock with my hand.
"Fuck yes, stroke my dick. Make my cock grow," Trent groans.
"Look at this big black booty," Kyle palms and rubs my ass. SMACK!
"Oooh," I whine.
"Oh, Kyle," I whimper.
"Yes." He makes them shake. "Bounce your ass on my face. Jiggle those ass cheeks. Bounce it. Make it shake." He moves my panties to the side and flicks his tongue against my pussy. He squeezes and bites my thighs before standing again.
I push Trent's pants and underwear down. I come to my knees and take his cock in my mouth.
"On your back," he commands.
I lay on my back. Kyle pulls my legs apart and attacks my clit with his tongue. Trent steps out of his pants and then kneels in front of my face. He pulls my head up by my hair. "Here, suck it!"
"Make her suck it," says Katie, who's gently playing with her pussy beneath the nightie on the couch.
I wrap my lips around Trent's cock, supporting myself with my forearm I start to suck his dick.
"Yes, that's it," Katie moans. "Suck him off! Fuck!"
Kyle puts my leg on shoulder, his cock pressing against my pussy with Trent's cock in my mouth and his hands mauling my tits. Kyle grabs my thigh with one hand and then grips it with both as he slides his cock in my pussy.
"Give it to me slut," Kyle demands as he rocks his cock back and forth in my tight, wet pussy, palming and squeezing my ass. "Give it to me!"
I moan over Trent's cock as it's lodged down my throat.
"Yeah, bitch. Blow me you whore. Suck that shit."
"Suck the cum out of his cock!" Katie groans. "Do her, Kyle. Fuck her. You like that pussy?"
"Work it! Take it!" she tells me.
His cock feels great stretching my pussy. I start to fuck his cock, grinding my hips against it, squeezing his dick with my pussy as it oozes juice all over his thick, rock hard cock.
Trent grabs the back of my head. "Take it long and deep. Take it in your throat! Choke on it! Gag bitch! Gag! Take it deep in your throat. Deep throat that dick. Suck it! Suck it! SUCK!"
"Don't you like it?" Katie moans out to me. "Don't you like that cock buried in both your holes?"
"Yes! Fuck my pussy! I can't stop. I need it. I love sucking this cock."
"I want that ass," Trent says and pulls his cock out of my mouth.
"Come suck your pussy off my cock," Kyle tells me. He sits back and I quickly crawl around and take him in my mouth. "Bring me that pussy. I wanna taste that wet cunt again. 69 with me bitch. Yes, put it on my face."
Trent gets behind me, his cock wet with my slob.
"Do her!" Katie demands her husband. "Fuck her Trent. Fuck her up the ass."
"Tell me you want it." Trent demands of me.
"Please put it inside of me. Yes, do it! Take this ass! Yes! That's it! It feels so fucking good. Yes!"
"Fuck her up!" Katie screams as they ram into me.
"Give up that big black ass!" Trent hollers as he smacks my ass. SMACK! "All of it! All of it, bitch!" SMACK. "I want it. Give me that hot ass. Tell me you need it! Work that ass." SMACK.
Kyle pries my ass cheeks apart as Trent grips my waist and plows deeper and harder into my tight black asshole. "This pussy is so fucking wet. You like it don't you bitch?"
"Work my fucking prick. Make me bust this nut. Do me you whore. Your ass feels so fucking good." Trent pushes my head down into Kyle's cock as he blasts away deep in my ass.
"Balls deep you cum bucket!" Kyle taunts. "BALLS DEEP! Swallow my dick! Oh god yes! Your mouth feels amazing.
"I can't get enough," I shout in my mind as Trent bangs into my ass like a mad man. Pile driving deep into my big black butt while Kyle's cock is shoved deep in my throat. "More. Give me more! Deeper. Fuck me deeper. Give it to me harder! Fuck yeah, smack my ass. Smack that fat ass. More, dammit! I need those big fucking dicks."
"Suck him off!" Katie instructs as I'm forced to choke and gag on Kyle's thick dick. "I wish your mother could see this. I wish she could see her daughter being a whore. I wish she could watch you taking that cock, that big black ass in the air getting drilled by white dick. I wish she could see you sucking white meat. You've got my pussy so wet servicing those pricks. So fucking sexy! Fuck my husband!"
"I'm about to cum," Trent tells me as he rocks into my ass harder and harder. "Where do you want my cum? Tell me where you want it, slut."
"My ass... cover my ass," I manage to say before Kyle's dick is once again buried in my mouth.
"That ass?"
"MMMMMM," I moan.
"Tell me!" he demands, smacking my ass again.
"Cover my ass with your cum," I tell Trent as I wrap my big black tits around Kyle's thick, long, hard white dick. "Cum all over my black ass. Paint that ass with your cum."
"You want it?"
"Yes! I need your cum."
"Fuck bitch! I'm gonna blast on your tits. Take it all over those tits and that pretty black face."
"Yes! Cover me with cum! Spray your nut all over me. Give it to me! I need it," I beg. "I want it. I want that sperm. Give me your juice."
"FUCK!" they scream as they both cum all over my ass, mouth, face, and tits at the same time.
Trent collapses over my back. "God, I wanna fuck that wet pussy," he whispers in my ear. He pulls out of my ass and I roll off of Kyle.
"Don't move," Katie tells me. She slides off the couch and makes her way to me in the middle of the floor. I sit on my heels and she pushes my tits together and licks Kyle's cum off my tits.
Kyle and Trent watch as she meticulously cleans Kyle's cum from my tits. I look at Trent and Kyle biting my lips as Katie's tongue dances around my tits. She sucks my nipple into her mouth and I moan. She has me bend over once my tits are clean. With my ass in the air she licks her husbands cum from my ass. Trent stands to the side of us, in front of the TV, across from Kyle, stroking his cock. I look over to the couch to see Kyle with his cock in his hand as well.
When my tits and ass are clean Katie pulls me to my knees.
"Get naked," Trent says flatly to Katie, and within seconds she and I are both naked.
"Look who's a fuckin slut," I say to Katie, pushing her on her back.
She slaps my tits as I fall on top of her. "Don't speak to me like that you fucking black whore."
"C'mon bitch," I squeeze her tits. I push them together, suck her nipples, and bite on them.
"Mmmmmm, you fucking whore."
"Turn around, get under her ass," Trent says to me.
"Wait," Kyle says and lies on the floor. "Come bring me that pussy."
I straddle Kyle's cock, slowly easing the head of his cock into my wet, eager pussy. I fall forward, my tits pressing against his chest. Before I can ease myself onto his cock, Trent throws Katie on top of me, forcing all of Kyle's dick in my pussy. Katie is straddling my ass. Her weight pins me down, while my size under her makes it so her knees barely touch the floor.
Trent pushes his stiff dick into my ass.
"Spread those asses," Trent commands.
Katie spreads her ass cheeks.
"Spread your ass so my best friend can pump his dick in it," Kyle says in my ear.
I reach beneath Katie's thighs and spread my ass.
Katie slides forward so my asshole is available to her husband.
"Beg me for my cock. Beg sluts!"
"Please fuck me, Trent," says Katie.
"I want it to hear it nasty. Slutty. Both of you. NOW!"
"Fuck my tight, slutty ass baby."
"Fuck my nasty black ass," I groan as Kyle starts to pump his dick into me.
"You want me to fuck that black ass with this white cock?"
"Yes, fuck my black ass with your white cock."
"Fuck it good." He shoves his cock in Katie's ass.
"Keep that ass open," Kyle tells me. "Let him see that stretched hole."
Trent grabs Katie's hair as he slams into her ass. The sound of him slapping against her is loud.
"Yes, Trent," she whimpers and chokes out. "Fuck me. Fuck my ass."
"C'mon Katie fuck his cock!"
"Shut up bitch," he pushes his stiff dick into my ass.
"Fuck his cock slut," she says to me. "Take it up your black ass."
He works up a rhythm and then pushes his cock into Katie's ass.
"Yes, Trent, yes!" she backs her ass into him as he fucks her.
"Fuck him. Fuck his cock," I tell Katie.
"Fuck," Kyle moans in my ear."
"This feels so fucking good," Trent groans. "Spread those asses. I'm gonna cum down your asses, nasty fuck toys."
"Oh, baby, I can feel her ass against my clit," Katie whines.
"You like it?"
"Yes! Yes! It feels so fucking good."
"Fuck her ass. Fuck that big black ass with your clit. Grind on it."
"You feel her wet pussy on your ass?" Kyle asks me.
"Yes!" I scream.
"You like that wet white cunt on your black ass?"
"Fuck yes! Keep fucking my ass Katie."
"How about I fuck your ass. Yeah, that's it. Right up that black butt. Fuck my dick in front on my wife."
"Oh fuck, Shay, be our black whore again. Let them DP that ass."
"OH FUCK! YES! Two cocks in me. Fuck me! Fuck me!"
"Give it to her! UNH! Yes Trent, slam into my ass baby. Take turns fucking those big round asses. Yes! Grip my tits. Squeeze my fucking tits. You know that turns me on. Oh Trent! Fuck me! Give it to me! I want your cock. Yes! I need it."
"Fuck this black pussy feels so good! Fuck me slut!"
"Yes. Pinch those nipples! Fuck my tight wet pussy. I'm your ghetto whore. Fuck yes, turn me out. Use me. Give me that dick deep in my pussy."
"Who's is it?" Kyle demands as he squeezes my tits.
"It's yours!" I scream.
"Then give it to me! Give it to Daddy!"
"Katie, make Daddy cum!" Trent says as he starts to fuck her harder.
"Fuck! Trent! Daddy!"
"Oh shit, Daddy yes!"
"Yes. Fuck, you want this cum, baby?"
"You want this cum bitch? You want it?"
I feel Trent's cum trickle down my ass as Kyle's shoots deep in my pussy, filling me up. Katie and I pant like dogs as they blast their cum into us.
When I feel Katie roll off of me I peel myself off of Kyle, standing up and then collapse onto the couch. I laugh. "Happy birthday, Trent."
Everyone smiles and chuckles. Katie and Trent kiss each other passionately. Kyle and I look at each other and shrug and then laugh a bit.
"How'd you get here?" he asks as I pass him his clothes and he passes me mine.
"My sister dropped me off. I let her use my car for the night," I tell him as we quickly dress—Trent and Katie are lost in their own lover's world.
"Want a ride?"

Queens Restaurant Pays $25k to Lambda Legal Client After Antigay Attack
Find Your State
Legal Help Desk
Our Sponsors
(New York, June 13, 2012) —Lambda Legal client Liza Friedlander, who was violently attacked while trying to dine with friends at a Forest Hills restaurant owned by Defendant Waroge Met, Ltd., doing business as Sizzler Restaurant 0489, recently recovered $25,000 in a lawsuit filed in Queens County in 2011. The court entered a judgment against the defendant Sizzler Restaurant 0489 and its manager, defendant Edgar Orellana, after those defendants offered to allow judgment to be taken against them.
"Liza Friedlander experienced violence, discrimination, and degradation at this restaurant because she did not conform to the stereotypes of how a woman should look. This intolerable behavior is prohibited under the New York State and City human rights laws," said Natalie Chin, Staff Attorney for Lambda Legal. "The result sends a strong message: violent and discriminatory behavior motivated by bias against lesbians, gay men, bisexuals or transgender people will not be tolerated. Businesses are not exempt from treating LGBT people with dignity and respect."
Under New York case law, there is "no distinction" between a "judgment on consent," entered against defendants here, "and a judgment rendered after trial and entered upon a verdict or a decision."
"I was attacked and threatened by people yelling terrible anti-LGBT slurs, throwing things at me and threatening to sexually assault me," said Lambda Legal client Liza Friedlander. "On that day, I felt helpless, humiliated and frightened, but today I'm so proud that I stood up and did something about it. No one should have to go through a nightmare like that."
On September 18, 2010, Liza Friedlander and two friends went to Sizzler Restaurant 0489 in Forest Hills, Queens for the breakfast buffet. What was intended as a relaxing, enjoyable meal turned into a horrifying ordeal of discrimination, violence and degradation. Defendant Edgar Orellana, in front of other restaurant patrons, shoved Ms. Friedlander in the chest, causing her to fall backward, and kicked her while yelling for her to get out of the restaurant and calling her a "fucking dyke."
The dining room quickly devolved into a threatening scene when patrons began terrorizing Ms. Friedlander, screaming at her, and spewing homophobic and hate-filled epithets. A male diner yelled at her, called her a "he-she freak" and demanded that she leave the restaurant. Another man threw objects at Ms. Friedlander. He threatened to take Ms. Friedlander outside and sexually assault her, threatening that he would show her "what a dick is." Fearful for Ms. Friedlander's safety, her friends frantically called 911, as did others at the restaurant during this terrifying ordeal. Police arrived, and a bruised and battered Friedlander was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital.
The complaint filed by Lambda Legal stated that Defendants Waroge Met, Ltd., doing business as Sizzler Restaurant 0489, and Edgar Orellana violated the New York City and State Civil and Human Rights Laws because Ms. Friedlander was violently attacked and discriminated against in a place of public accommodation based on her actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, and sex.
The case is Friedlander v. Waroge Met, Ltd. d/b/a Sizzler Restaurant 0489, Edgar Orellana , et al.
Natalie Chin, Lambda Legal Staff Attorney, is handling the case. Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP is co-counsel.

Renovating a bathroom is somewhat like surgery. First, you must do no harm. Working around existing plumbing, wiring, and venting, architect Alex Harrow skillfully inserted a new, more vigorous heart into this master bath: a custom solid granite tub weighing 2,500 pounds—empty.
To hold the heft, floors were gutted to their 19th-century support system of columns and terra-cotta arches, and a reinforced concrete slab was poured. A crane slotted the bathing behemoth through the window and into the waiting arms of seven men, who guided it to its resting place over the drain. "We had to jump through hoops to make it work," says Harrow, "but we wanted the focus to be this sculptural piece, with the room as just a backdrop." The pale limestone floors and walls recede to showcase the tub's hammered granite exterior and polished black interior. The bathtub is both beautiful and functional. Harrow spent weeks researching tub design until he was sure that soaking in this one would be relaxing and comfortable. "The angles of the inside slope and the thickness of the sides had to work," he says. "It was a risk, but the clients tell me it's comfortable."
A glass wall separates the shower and reflects natural light; shoji screens between the bath and bedroom withdraw into the walls to give the bather room to breathe. The overall effect is dramatic yet understated—and a fitting complement to the clients' collection of Asian art and antiques.

Each "book" contains 300 individual pages made from a groundbreaking type of paper that can filter water for 30 days. Because of the high-tech chemistry on each page—that also contain messages promoting the use of clean water—the books provide a cheap way to give a family clean water for nearly four years.

Meet Annmaire Richards, a woman in Jamaica who takes in street children and raises them in her own family. Richards says that she "saw herself" in the children who are "fearfully, and wonderfully made," and her story is a powerful reminder of the average person's capability to change the lives of those in need. The video was produced by GoBoka Play in partnership with the Make Life Better Foundation, who will donate a computer lab for the children's education if the video receives 50,000 views by April 10.

Here's a look at an invention one group believes can change the lives of millions of people who don't have easy access to clean water. The idea behind the WaterWheel is a simple one—inventors wanted to find a way for people in rural India to be able to easily and safely transport water. According to research from Wello, the social venture behind the invention that began working in India in 2011, women in remote parts of the country spend up to 25 percent of their day transporting water for their families. And currently, there are more than 1 billion people globally who must travel more than half a mile to reach a clean water source. With the aid of the WaterWheel, they can transport five times the amount of water that they can carry by hand, and travel much more quickly. The device even has a specially designed cap to prevent contamination. The group is currently seeking supporters to help make the WaterWheel available to more people throughout India ... Discuss
A few weeks ago, Chinese officials made international headlines when they announced that they would formally end the policy of "re-education through labor", which force inmates to work long hours in factories under terrible conditions. But according to this report, many of the forced labor camps will remain open, and simply change their name to drug rehab centers. Though many inmates—whose crimes range from petitioning the government to being a part of banned religious groups—have been freed since the announcement, tens of thousands of drug offenders remained subject to forced labor. Most of them, have never received a trial. Human Rights Watch estimated that this year, about 60 percent of prisoners within China's labor camp system were there because of crimes related to drugs. And though the prisons do technically have drug detox programs, the inmates are still forced to work in factories for up to 15 hours a day making products, some which are bound for the United States ...

RADNOR, PA—Sometimes a good shove can be a good thing. It tests the mettle and wherewithal of great teams, special teams that show that they can come from behind and win. Teams like the 2011 Haverford School Fords, a team that has withstood every challenge presented this year.
Though Saturday at Cabrini College, it was a little different. The Fords' defense at times was breached. Haverford School looked somewhat hesitant on offense. Lawrenceville School was giving the best team in the nation all it could handle, and was even leading in the third quarter.
But above all its talent and unique camaraderie, what really sets this Haverford School team apart from all others in the country is its collective mental toughness. The Fords gathered themselves and finished what was a very stubborn Lawrenceville team, 13-11, in the semifinals of the Inter-Ac Invitational, moving to a pristine 22-0 overall and setting up a fantastic showdown with Inter-Academic League rival Malvern Prep at 7 p.m. Wednesday night at Cabrini College.
The Fords won with great offensive balance, getting two goals each from Sam Rohr, Gavin McBride, Brendan McGrath, Hup Hupfeldt and Matt Walters, the game's MVP. Cornell-bound Matt Donovan was brilliant, scoring a game-high 4 goals, followed by three from Adam Fishman for Lawrenceville.
It was Walter's two third-quarter goals that was the difference, along with the typically stellar work done by Fords' goalie Conor Kelly, who when the Big Red got by the usually sturdy Haverford School defense, it was Kelly that served as a human wall.
The Fords have been sticking with the script—playing this season in one-game increments.
"I don't think we've ever panicked this year, and we've been in a lot of big games," Kelly said. "We've been sticking to the one-game-at-a-time approach. But we know now, especially with everything we've done, we can't have a letdown."
Walters wasn't about to let that happen. The rangy senior attack cleaved the Big Red defense for a pair of crucial goals at an important time of the game, when the momentum seemed to be swaying towards Lawrenceville in the third quarter.
"This was a dogfight, but we knew what we were coming into," Walters said. "That's a very good team, and we know we're getting everyone's best game. We hold team meetings and we talk about what a special year and what a special team this is. We need to get up mentally."
As Lawrenceville did for the Fords. Big Red coach Allen Fitzpatrick felt like he was watching a college game, with the frenetic pace the game was played. He also incorporated an effective gameplan, mixing his defense from zone to man, attempting to confuse the Fords' offense. On offense, the Big Red worked the ball nicely and spread the field, using isolation to take the Fords out of their slides.
"We thought they'd fold under the pressure, they didn't," Fitzpatrick said. "They're seasoned kids. We played really well. It's no surprise [Haverford School] is the best team in the country. But I have to say I was really, really proud of my kids."
Donovan was scary with the ball. He scored four times and his presence kept the Fords' edgy.
"Our ball movement was crucial," Donovan said. "We wanted to go a lot of one-on-one and get them ball looking."
Big Red goalie Matt O'Connor kept Lawrenceville in the game with a couple of amazing fourth-quarter saves. He's around 6-foot-3, and an imposing figure to get the ball around. "We stressed to keep things simple on defense, because [Haverford School] can come from behind or on top," O'Connor said. "All their middies and attack are capable of scoring. To us, this was like our Super Bowl."
Now it's down to one game for the Fords and the possibility of something special.
"We've worked our whole season for this, this means everything," Fords' senior defender Goran Murray said. "We can't play in the state championship, so this is out state championship. We all spoke together after the first half of this game about keeping it together and going out winners."
The Fords are a game away from doing it.
Recruit Watch: Donovan has a smooth style, and an accurate shot. He's going from one Big Red to another, Cornell. He'll fit in nicely there.
The Fords' Kelly continues to impress. When the Big Red was swarming and a goal from tying it, it was Kelly that staunched the flame with a offensive-deflating save.
Carl Walrath stirs the Fords' offense. He's the quintessential team leader, always making his teammates better. The stat sheet only shows two assists, but Walrath's movement and passing tilts defenses.
Speaking of defense, Murray does it all. The Maryland-bound Haverford School long-stick took a ground ball and went coast-to-coast, scoring an insurance goal for the Fords with the game still in the balance.

February marks Heart Health Awareness Month, and Hampstead Academy students, in an effort to raise awareness of heart health among students and to contribute to the American Heart Association's research into the battle against cardiovascular disease, participated in a fun filled, educational, and fundraising week of "Hoops for Heart!" The kids played basketball and raised funds for the American Heart Association.
Upper School students formed the "Hoops for Heart" Club, where they learned about promoting heart health and then created lesson plans for their schoolmates. The club members taught their lessons during physical education class. Additionally, all week the students promoted heart health awareness through activities such as a "Nail and Face Painting" fundraiser, a bake sale featuring heart healthy snacks, a "Special Hat Day" fundraiser, a "PJ Day" fundraiser, and a "Be a Super Hero" fundraiser. The students raised over $1,000 for the American Heart Association while simultaneously raising awareness about the importance of heart health.

Mobile TeleSystems Touches Six-Week Low as Profit Declines 25%
OAO Mobile TeleSystems, Russia's largest mobile-phone operator, reached the lowest level in six weeks in New York after reporting third-quarter earnings fell on increased market competition.
American depositary receipts of Moscow-based MTS fell 0.3 percent to $13.91 at the close of trading in New York after declining as much as 4.9 percent to $13.27, the lowest intraday level since Oct. 7. The company said today net income in the three months to Sept. 30 slid 25 percent to $362 million.
If competition stabilizes, the entire market will benefit, Alexey Kornya, MTS' chief financial officer, said in a statement issued by PR Newswire.
"The main concern is tough market competition," Anna Lepetukhina, an analyst at Troika Dialog, which has a "buy" recommendation on MTS shares, said in a phone interview today from Moscow. "Due to the competitive market landscape among Russian mobile service providers, over several quarters we've been seeing deteriorating financial results among mobile service operators."

TAMPA — The collapse in Carrollwood was 5 yards from fruition.
The Gaither Cowboys appeared on the brink of losing on the final play for the second Friday in a row. With the Ron Allen Field crowd on its feet, the Cowboys defense was on its heels.
Tampa Bay Tech had scored 22 points in a row and was 5 yards from scoring the go-ahead touchdown. That's when a 185-pound junior outside linebacker named Matthew Williams stopped the bleeding — and started the euphoria.
Williams' backfield hit on Titans running back Deon Thompson jarred the ball loose with 14 seconds to play. The Cowboys (7-2, 4-1) recovered, preserving a surreal 35-32 triumph and clinching the Class 7A, District 7 title.
A loss, and Gaither would've been eliminated from playoff contention.
"We've got to drag them across the coals to get a 'W,' " said Cowboys coach Jason Stokes, oozing equal parts elation and exasperation. "These kids are something else, but they found a way, God bless 'em."
The fumble squelched what would've certainly gone down as the greatest rally in Titans history.
Down 35-10 after Cowboys quarterback Alex McGough exploited a blown coverage for a 73-yard touchdown pass to Shug Oyegunle on the fourth quarter's first play, TBT (6-3, 4-1) scored on its next three possessions.
A 1-yard scoring sneak by sophomore quarterback Deon Cain (23-for-41, 186 yards) with 3:52 to go cut Gaither's lead to 35-32.
Thompson, held to minus-2 yards in the first half, finished with 135 including an 11-yard touchdown midway through the fourth.
"I can't express how proud I am of the effort," said Titans coach Jayson Roberts, whose squad now must travel to undefeated Durant for the first round of the playoffs.
"Like I told the guys, being down 28-3 in the second half … a lesser team would've folded and probably allowed themselves to get blown out. These kids put it together, they never stopped believing that they weren't out of the game."
Preceding TBT's comeback was a veritable clinic by McGough on exploiting a flawed zone defense. McGough (14-for-31, 295 yards, five TDs, two INTs) threw touchdown strikes on four consecutive second-half possessions to give Gaither a 28-10 lead.
His fourth may have been his finest. The 6-foot-3 junior rolled right against a furious rush and threw back to his left to Vu Le (five catches, 144 yards), who had no Titan within 15 yards of him. Le caught it and turned around for an 80-yard touchdown.
Oyegunle added 135 yards and three TDs on five catches.
"Oh man, I'm so proud of the kid," Stokes said of McGough.
"He made his mistakes, but I tell you what man, his guts, man. Staying in that pocket with everything around him, he kept his eyes downfield. I'm so, so proud of that kid, so proud of him. He grew up."

Major Surgery - but a wonderful experience! Thanks to Dr. Tattelbaum
- OnTheFlatSide78
- Last updated: 4 years ago
I did my research and like anyone considering this procedure, I knew there would be a lot of pain involved. Now that I'm "on the flat side" I have to say that considering the benefits, it is totally worth it. (And to be honest, the pain is manageable with medication and is not intolerable). I hear a lot of ladies say that it's worse than childbirth or c-sections. I have to say that for me it's not really something I would compare with other procedures. As long as you do your research, listen to your doctor and stay on top of your meds it is really not that bad. The only hard part for me is waking up in the morning - you are stiff, sore, and you have to wake someone up to help you out of bed. I am not yet a fully functioning member of the "world of the living" yet, but I'm getting there slowly. It's kind of nice to be forced to take things slowly for a change anyhow ;-) Wow - and the scars - I thought I wouldn't be able to handle looking at them (especially my belly button), but it's really not that horrifying! lol It is a lot of incision to look at, but I can handle it. And I can't say enough good things about Dr. Tattelbaum and his staff. Wow. His bedside manner is outstanding and his staff take very good care of you. I think 90% of my positive recovery attitude can be attributed to how well I was treated. The coolest thing - is how slim my profile is! I have always worked very hard to improve my weight/shape but having 3 big baby girls took a permanent toll. The doctor really did a remarkable job in reshaping my midsection, and my swelling isn't even all gone yet! That is the best part. I just want to be able to see the results of my hard work, and have clothes that fit right again. :-) Good luck to those of you still scheduled or just considering the procedure. I wish I'd done it sooner! :-)

Offensive LinemenThe Irish front five struggled over the first 30 minutes, their first poor showing since Week Four vs. Stanford.
Chris Stewart was likely the team's top performing lineman during an uneven (poor in the first half) day for the front line. Chris Watt and Mike Golic both showed well in late relief.
Right Tackle Zack Martin: Showed quick feet to get outside his defender, then sealed him inside on a sweep to the right early (Armando Allen fell)…Keyed front side protection on a Dayne Crist roll to the right; the QB hit Michael Floyd for a 12-yard gain on 3d and 11 and an Irish first down…Whiffed on a Paul Hazel spin move inside that forced Crist out of the pocket and resulted in 4-yard gain on 3rd and 13. Back-to-back punts for the Irish on the third and fourth series. Hazel had a major impact on the first half…Along with Trevor Robinson, threw one of two key blocks that afforded wide receiver John Goodman time on the Irish trick play touchdown to begin the second half: Goodman took a misdirection backfield pitch from Crist, pulled up and fired downfield to a well-covered Michael Floyd for a 32-yard post route touchdown. Martin controlled from snap to whistle.
Whiffed badly (terrible footwork) on Hazel's inside rush and Crist gets popped on a 3-yard screen to Floyd…Poor effort to deter Hazel one series later and the 205-pound DE then burned Robinson to sack Crist (explained below)…Chose (correctly, I think) not to block Hazel two plays later and the pass-rusher again influenced a sack, notching half-credit as the Broncos came with a heavy blitz. Martin took on a looping outside linebacker instead so the Irish could have been in trouble due to the design of the protection and Crist's decision to hold onto the ball too long…Good backside protection to stone Hazel one series later…Again controlled Hazel on a speed rush two plays later…Took on Hazel and shoved him to the ground while also knocking out another edge rusher (credit to Crist for this instance of pocket mobility) and allowed the QB to escape outside right to find a wide open Tyler Eifert for a 39-yard crossing TD. (ND 27 WMU 10).
2nd Half: Good block in space to open the half vs. Hazel, then easily sealed his defender on a 39-yard touchdown down the right sideline for Cierre Wood…Another great block to begin the next series, this time driving Hazel backward on Wood's eye-popping 14-yard gain (described in Wood's review below)…Completely dominated the outside linebacker, pancaking him in space to afford Wood room on a stretch run to the right side (negated by a hold on Braxston Cave)…Nice effort on a missed TD (no interference call vs. Floyd) as he held a seal block from snap to whistle…
Right Guard Trevor Robinson: Irrelevant in the end, but was the only player to lose his block on the first-play 80-yard TD pass to Michael Floyd…Beaten badly on a rolling pocket play as Crist was sacked by his assigned defender (Dex Jones) and Chris Prom who hustled across the field to help on the play: an 8-yard loss that forced the first Irish punt…Took his defender completely out of the play on the Goodman-to-Floyd TD pass (described above)…Helped Martin with Hazell to allow Crist time on a crossing route throw to Riddick to set up first and goal at the Broncos 9-yard line (Crist scored on the ensuing play).
Worked over by Paul Hazel on an inside rush by Paul Hazel to sack Crist inside the Irish 15-yard line. Terrible non-effort by Robinson who had an initial chip to work with (not a good one) by Martin on the snap…Executed a 5-second block to allow a scrambling Crist time to find Eifert for a 39-yard TD (also described above). Great effort on the final offensive play of the half by Robinson who had previously played poorly on the afternoon.
Center Braxston Cave: Nice pulling cut block in space to give Allen room on the second series but the hobbled Irish senior slipped down…Double whammy when he lost hit block (and held, but got away with it) as nose guard Drew Nowack whipped him to stop Wood short of the marker on a 3rd and 1 run over left tackle (ND called for a formation penalty as well)…Impressive hustle (and toughness) to bail out Tyler Eifert after the sophomore fumbled following a 15-yard gain…Caught up in traffic (bailed out TE Mike Ragone on a missed block) but then never got to his assigned defender in space and Chris Prom corralled Allen for a 3-yard gain…Gave up too much ground on a 3-step drop and Crist's pass was deflected at the line as a result.
Only lineman not to execute his block (10-yard holding call that negates another impressive run by Wood).
Left Guard Chris Stewart: Found a solid block on a pull to the right but Allen failed to gain…Buried the right outside linebacker on a stretch run with Allen to the left side but teammate Cave never executed his second (key) block…Along with a pulling Robinson, executed one of two key blocks to allow Crist, on a semi-roll to his left, room to find Tyler Eifert in the left flat for a 13-yard gain and Irish first down. ND scored a go-ahead touchdown (14-7) three plays later…Executed a pulling block to give Crist time to find Eifert on a semi-roll to his right but Crist found pressure rather than escaped it, then threw woefully short to the open tight end. But hey, Stewart found his man.
2nd Half: Strong point-of-attack block for Wood to open a gaping hole on the left side but the sophomore 'back slipped…Never executed a block (first opportunity was a solid 20 yards downfield) as Wood gained 18 on a screen. Long run for the big man…Flipped to right guard late in the 3rd Quarter with Chris Watt taking his place on the left side. Teamed with Cave for a nice pull block late giving Wood a running lane for a spinning 24-yard gain…
Left Tackle Matt Romine: Strong lead block on Cierre Wood's first carry…Beaten around the edge by the speedy Chris Prom but recovered to get enough of the pass rusher as Crist threw complete to Tyler Eifert on 3rd and 6 for an Irish first down…Gave up too much ground, too quickly, on a 3rd and 7 middle screen early in the 2nd Quarter. Crist was buried as he threw low to Allen who would have had room to roam.
2nd half: Pulled to bury a blitzing linebacker, thus allowing Wood room at the line of scrimmage to begin his nifty 14-yard run on the second series. Without that block, Wood gains zero and doesn't have the chance to pull off the move of the season downfield…Took his man 5-yards downfield but Wood slipped on a minimal gain…Found his block in the left flat to pave the way for an 18-yard screen pass to Wood on the following play…Executed a cut-block seven yards downfield to give Wood a gain of eight yards early in the final period…
Left Guard Chris Watt: First action was a pull in space for Hughes on a 5-yard gain. I'm looking forward to Watt on similar plays in the future…Solid strike in space on a tunnel screen to T.J. Jones later in the drive…After moving to right guard, executed a pulling block (right to left) to give Wood room but Toma was able to secure his defender in space and Wood was limited to a minimal gain…A bit off balance on a pull to the right leading Nate Montana for a one-yard first down…
Left Tackle Andrew Nuss: Won on his first seal block to afford Hughes room over the left side on a 5-yard gain…Beaten badly, then held, on the following run to his side. Sloppy effort by Nuss outside…Responded on the next play with a seal to allow Hughes a lane off left tackle (limited to 4 yards)…
Running BacksTough to critique four handoffs and a couple of dump passes in a 30-minute first half...Allen wasn't close to 100 percent and Wood has to stop putting the ball on the ground (recovered his own error).
Wood owned the second half, looking intermittently spectacular en route to a career best 94-yards.
Armando Allen: Couldn't handle a poorly thrown swing pass from Crist (behind him) to begin the second series…Slipped in the open field when making a cut on the edge (near the line of scrimmage) on the following play…Ran into traffic inside and couldn't break free on his next carry two plays later…Fought and spun for three yards on a stretch run to the left. Allen did not benefit from quality blocking on the play…
2nd Half: DNP
Cierre Wood: Received a nice push on the left side but didn't get the second level block he needed from a cracking Theo Riddick and was thus limited to three yards on his first carry (third series)…Two nice moves on a middle screen to navigate traffic in a 6-yard gain. Wood could have had more if Romine had found anyone to block in space…technically executed his cut-block on a 3-step drop by Crist that was deflected on the other side of scrimmage…Caught a dump pass to set up 4th and 5 (which became Notre Dame's fourth TD of the first half one play later). Wood fumbled but recovered on the catch.
2nd Half: Found five yards behind Martin and a pulling Cave as the Irish decide to test 200-pound pass rusher Paul Hazel in the run game on the opening play of the second half (Eureka!)…Wood took the ensuing handoff untouched for a 39-yard score down the same sideline and the rout was finally on (ND 34 WMU 17).
In his seventh career contest, Cierre Wood recorded the program's longest touchdown run since Thanksgiving Weekend 2003. Draw your own conclusions…
Gains 14 yards due largely to the best move by a Notre Dame running back in several years (maybe more than a decade), bouncing backwards to deke a second level defender after already running through two arm tackles with a spin move in space. Holy Cow…Showed tremendous vision and balance on a 9-yard run negated by a hold on Braxston Cave…Lost his footing on a cutback (had a pretty big hole) and was limited to two yards…Showed excellent patience, vision and balance on a 24-yard gain early in the final period. Wood's "suddenness" is rivaled only by Theo Riddick (who I still think is quicker) on the current roster.
Robert Hughes: His first snap occurred on ND's final first half drive: Hughes lowered his head and appeared to have his neck snapped to the side on a pass block attempt. The senior was down for more than a minute but returned in the second half.
2nd Half:Lowered his head to finish a 5-yard gain over the left side with under 5:00 remaining in the 3rd Quarter…Upended and fumbled but down by contact after four yards on a left tackle run (Rule of thumb: don't jump when you outweigh the defender by 50 pounds)…
Carried six consecutive for 54 yards to complete the contest:
- A left side push for five yards behind a solid block from Watt
- Limited to two yards over the same side though he appeared to have a lane behind Junior Mike Golic who pulled from center over the right side
- An 8-yard gain up the gut thanks to Golic again. Hughes finished with a brutal blow (low man wins) vs. safety Demetrius Pettaway
- Found little room over the left side but carried the pile for five yards; then burst for 30 on the following snap, following a pull and seal by Golic over the right side as well as a solid block at the point by right guard Alex Bullard seeing his first action. Hughes spun twice to elude two second-level tackles, then broke through arm tackles for the game's second longest run. Jake Golic through a late block to spring Hughes for the final sprint downfield. Hughes finished with a four-yard gain before QB Tommy Rees took a knee to end the proceedings.
Final Thoughts: A star was (re)born in Wood, who hadn't looked the part since the season opener vs. Purdue. Hughes broke off his second late-game run in excess of 30 yards on the season while Allen struggled to play through the hip flexor injury and with what we assume was less than a full day of practice over the course of the week.

Last year, it parlayed a sensational home record (10-1-4) and a stingy defense (13 shutouts, 28 goals conceded) into the Western Conference title. Its offseason losses have been minor, and in addition to the players named above Chivas USA has brought in a foreign import, but not from parent club Guadalajara.
The acquisition of former Swiss international Raphael Wicky has been made official, and he has to play somewhere. Central incumbents Jesse Marsch and Paulo Nagamura are back, as are left-sided Francisco Mendoza and right mid Sacha Kljestan. Yet the fact is, along with a well-publicized lack of depth up front last season, the Red-and-White wasn't all that deep in midfield either. Its preferred quartet stayed healthy for the most part, but with the club obligated to play in the SuperLiga and (perhaps) CONCACAF Champions League, reinforcements are desperately needed.
Wicky, who has played for more than a decade with clubs in Germany, Switzerland and Spain, can push Mendoza for a place on the left side and can also be slotted at left back, depending on the availability - and form - of Jonathan Bornstein. Wicky is not a DP; Chivas USA doesn't have a slot, having traded it away last year for Amado Guevara, who left the team high and dry when he bolted rather than accept a trade to Toronto.
Bornstein and Kljestan potentially face a busy season of international callups; Bornstein with the national team, and Kljestan for the under-23s, who in March will attempt to qualify for the 2008 Olympic men's soccer tournament. Wicky is getting back into shape following ankle surgery after training impressively for a week with Chivas USA last season.
"Raphael is a talented guy who can play in central midfield or on the left wing, and who has also played in defense," says Chivas USA head coach Preki. "Not only does he bring valuable experience to our locker room, he helps provide important depth to Chivas USA as we look forward to a busy MLS and international calendar in 2008."
Chivas USA faces that calendar much stronger than it was in 2007, especially up front.
Late-season injuries to Ante Razov and Cuban Maykel Galindo, who scored a combined 23 goals, defused the attack. Harris seemed lost after being moved to midfield by Real Salt Lake and should regain his attacking punch up front. Eskandarian, joining his fourth club since being taken with the No. 1 SuperDraft pick in 2004, will be closely watched in preseason to see if there are any effects of the multiple concussions he's suffered.
Working out as trialists are two strikers with remarkable backgrounds: Former Japanese international Takayuki Suzuki, who played in all four of Japan's matches at the 2002 World Cup, and longtime Paraguay and Toluca star Jose Cardozo. Yet the team starts preseason with 17 players on its regular 18-man roster, and one of those - you'd think - would be the backup keeper, so if Suzuki and/or Cardozo shows well, moves need to be made.
Also on the list of likely U.S. callups in Guzan, who could be summoned for as many as eight qualifiers this year. San Jose picked backup Preston Burpo in the expansion draft, and the team is holding auditions to replace him.
Three keepers are in camp with Chivas USA: Josh Saunders, Eric Reed and Sam Reynolds. The Fire waived Saunders last spring; he's been on the rosters of San Jose and Los Angles but hasn't played a league match despite a solid career in the USL with Portland and a callup to play for Puerto Rico in World Cup qualifying. Reynolds played a match for Toronto last season as an emergency callup.
Chivas USA will travel to San Antonio in March to play Toronto, D.C. United, and Houston in the Texas Pro Soccer Festival, but has no other preseason travel plans. Many MLS teams will be passing through Southern California during preseason. New York is there right now.
To replace former assistant coach Martin Vasquez, who left to work with Juergen Klinsmann at Bayern Munich, Preki has hired former Rapids goalkeeping coach Leo Percovich. He also replaces Zak Abdel, who left Chivas USA to coach the keepers for U.S. Soccer.

I've accumulated a lot of ridiculous books over the years - from thrift stores, flea markets, yard sales, and dumpsters - and I can no longer bear to hoard their weirdness for myself. Presenting the fourth in an occasional series of book reviews exploring the far corners of the Toon library...because the world must know!
I'm the father of three daughters. I've shared my home with a lot of Barbie-oriented material over the years. No matter how much we nudge the girls toward the little toy carpentry sets and the Green Lantern action figures, they still gravitate toward the leggy plastic blonde in the pink box. In all that time, believe me, I have never seen anything like this. Believe it or not, Barbie: Voyage to Rados is an honest-to-Ken licensed Barbie product, not some kind of Internet art prank.
After I got over the slackjawed, stammering shock of the cover, I cracked it open and found out that the hovering, pink-Afro'd starchild is a native of Moda-5. That's the planet that Barbie and her ever-youthful sister Stacy live on in the year 2190, for Barbie is eternal. Man is still alive, and woman did survive, but many of us emigrated to Moda-5 a century earlier hoping to learn the secrets of Modan telekinesis. Turns out we're not very good at it. But the Earthling expat community endured despite mutual animosity between humans and Modans. Don't let the smiles fool you - they're just laughing at each other's accents.
A water shortage on Moda-5 necessitates Barbie (a renowned geologist, of course) and Stacy (pride of the Junior Star Catchers) taking a trip to an unexplored planet, Rados, in search of the wet stuff. They're taking along an R2-D2 knockoff named Dork (for real) who speaks in rhyme due to a faulty language chip. Oh, and they have to bring a few of those creepy Modans along. Stacy's reaction is hardly a model of interstellar brotherhood: "Double yuck!"
Sure enough, the seething, purple surface of Rados yields some crystals that just might be "compressed water". After an argument between Barbie and head Moda-dude Thorba over the risks of transporting the crystals telekinetically, they take some samples back to the ship to run some tests. Barbie and Stacy learn a thing or two about the crystals of Rados...and about the emotions those Modans conceal behind their gilded gasmasks and bedazzled cloaks.
Danger strikes! On the trip home, proximity to a black hole sends Thorba and Modan child Franka into a catatonic state. Barbie's diagnosis is "energy shock". What's worse, Rados itself is being pulled into the black hole, with all its precious compressed water! Barbie springs into action. Initiate healing sequins!
Not only do the Modans wake up feeling refreshed, but the involuntary nap did their telekinetic powers good. They use their enhanced mental strength to pull Rados out of danger. Now if they could just do something about those hairdos...
Ten thousand humans and Modans crowd into Cosmos Plaza to welcome the returning water-carriers. "The Modans were chatting out loud with the humans. No one seemed to notice anyone's accent. 'They sound like old friends,' Barbie thought. 'Mission accomplished.'" Take heart, persecuted ethnic minorities: to be accepted as equals, all you have to do is save your entire planet from dying a slow death of thirst.
I have no idea who Mattel thought would buy this book. But I'm glad some frustrated SF writer got to pay the rent with her own mini-Dune. I'm glad Barbie never once talks about clothes or boyfriends. I'm glad some budding nerd girl out there may have gotten her hands on this and realized there are a lot of toys outside the pink aisle. And I'm glad that these photos exist - because somewhere, if they haven't been destroyed, there's a cache of colored Barbie heads with pink curls and jeweled robes. Anybody got a Modan-modded Barbie they'd be willing to part with?
For more book-scavenging fun, see:
That is the most awesome Barbie book I've ever seen!
I don't really know how to respond to this. I am horrified and fascinated at the same time...I feel like I just drove past a very bad car accident.
This is fantastic. I never dreamed the universe of Barbie contained such wonders.
Thank you for last bit about Barbie not talking about clothes. And for the scans. I'm still not quite sure I believe it, but I definitely would not have without them.
I am blown away.
Utterly bizarre and wonderful.
Amazon has copies for $0.01 plus $3.99 S&H.
I'm in for one.
Probably the only Barbie book this 38 year old male is going to ever own.
So this is like a happy version of "The Man Who Fell To Earth"?
As a Barbie collector the book sounds suspicious.
Maybe the author got a fat government grant to help bend young minds to prepare for when our water source here at home gets too many pollutants, lead, nitrates, female hormones, drugs and other stuff in it that is completely un-filterable(Woops, too late!)and so, in the future we will need willing tax funders to back more expensive space exploration as they become adults.
It is normal to prepare the young to part with their money freely as exploration taxes later.
I'm not even going to touch on the few normal and the oddly grouping of skin tones in this tale of adventure but, I am curious as to why the Hispanics, Asians, Indis and European breeds are missing from this story....unless of course, there are secret plans that they won't be surviving in 2190 or else possibly still employed as maintenance, ground and Indi tech support.
I know, I know....I am probably way too far out there but as I hear it, so is the truth.
We can que the Skuller and Muldy theme song now.
As a woman who grew up feeling inferior thanks to Barbie, and who hid in SciFi as a safe zone where guys would like me for my brains, I feel betrayed. But it's nice to know that Barbie agrees that in the future we will all wear aluminum jumpsuits. That seems to be a pretty uniform fashion hypothesis.
That's all well and good, but you've all missed what's really important here: in picture 5, Barbie's sick-bay equipment is made of Robotix.
Robotix is awesome.
So in the future, Ken's black, and the only human male Barbie hangs out with. Sweet.
On top of that, shiny mini dresses, tights and ankle boots are the outfit of choice for all women. Again, sweet.
Only two problems that I can see.
1) Since we never reall see Ken's legs outside of the space suit, he too could be sporting a shiny mini dress, tights and ankle boots. Still, a small price to pay for being the most well known boy-toy in the universe. and they're at least black tights.
2) If the Modans just need a gas mask on Rados (not even some goggles!), but humans need the full spacesuit, just what the heck are the Modans are not telling us about themselves? Telekinesis alone isn't going to protect your skin from an atmosphere you can't breathe.
Just the fact that this book inspired the above train of though proves that it's comprised, at the tiniest level (take the smallest known particle with a silly name and cut that in half) of 100% pure awesome.
I don't have one of these dolls, but one wouldn't be too hard to make. The only thing I wouldn't be able to make would be the robe.
My 5 year old daughter was surfing the web with me when she saw this post on the sidebar this morning. She's a barbie fanatic and now wants the book. Thanks a lot woot! Grrrr.....
That wasn't Ken. it was.... BARACK OBAMA!!!!!!
I had the joy of reading this book--TWICE--to my then 3 year-old daughter during an extended doctor's office waiting room visit. She decided at that time that she was a Barbie fan and wanted to go buy one after the trip to the doc. Fortunately, being only 3, she forgot about it by the time the appointment was over.
A hot pink fro-mullet? Awesome.
Dang, I was so going to buy this for a penny from Amazon but all the cheap ones are gone.
We have a few Barbie books and an impressive collection of Barbies in our house, my wife never tossed hers.
What impresses me most about all these book is the dioramas they have to build. Where do they find all this Barbie sized stuff anyway.
if this is what the future looks like..I want nothing of it...unless there are G.I Joes...I wanna live in world of G.I Joes and Barbies in space...

Jefferies Ups Chicago Merc Exchange to 'Buy'
Jefferies upgraded Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME ) to buy from hold.
Analyst Charlotte Chamberlain says the upgrade is based on valuation. She says Chicago Mercantile Exchange plunged 15% since the market close on Aug. 18, the evening before the company announced the yearend departure of CEO James McNulty.
Chamberlain says the replacement CEO Craig Donohue is a seasoned, dynamic executive who is fully capable of enhancing shareholder value. She maintains her $3.63 2003 earnings per share (GAAP) estimate, and the $3.53 2004 earnings per share estimate. Chamberlain also reiterates her $75 target.

Buffalo, N.Y. - The Canisius College men's swimming and diving team opened conference action by defeating Marist, 165-135, on Sunday morning at the Burt Flickinger Center. In the dual, the Canisius women fell to the reigning MAAC women's champion Marist, 179-118. Senior Steve Pochatko, juniors Matt Moessinger and Shawn Parkhurst, and Tyler Carver each captured first-place finishes to lead the Griffin men to victory. In addition, Moessinger set the school record in the 100 fly with a time of 51.22.
"As a team we stepped up against one of the top teams in the MAAC and competed," said head swimming and diving coach Scott Vanderzell. "In each event, a different swimmer stepped up."
For the men, the 200 medley relay team of Pochatko, Carver, Moessinger, and Parkhurst opened the Golden Griffins' scoring with a first-place finish in the men's first event of the day in a time of 1:36.50.
In his first-place performance in the 100 fly, Moessinger set the school record in a time of 51.22, taking close to a second off the previous record held by Parkhurst.
In addition to their first-place finishes as a part of the 200 medley relay, Pochatko, Moessinger, and Parkhurst captured a pair of individual top-finishes. Pochatko took first in the 100 backstroke (51.55) and in the 200 backstroke (1:55.75), while Parkhurst finished first in the 500 freestyle (4:47.95) and in the 200 fly (1:53.19). Besides taking first in the 100 fly, Moessinger also finished first in the 200 IM (1:57.77).
Out of the 200 medley relay team, Carver also took the top place in an event with the top spot in the 100 breaststroke (59.72).
On the diving boards for the Canisius men, freshman Eddie Quarantillo finished second in both the 1-meter (219.45) and 3-meter (207.68) events.
"The men's team is very determined and a meet like this adds to their confidence," said Vanderzell.
Freshman Marissa Oakey led the way for the Golden Griffin women, capturing first place in the 1000 freestyle (10:26.77). In the race, she set the school record for the 1000 freestyle and 500 freestyle, mid-race. As if breaking the 500 freestyle record once wasn't enough, Oakey broke the record again in the actual race in a time of 5:07.02 for first place.
On the diving board, freshman Taylor Epstein completed the sweep of both the 1-meter and 3-meter boards. In the 1-meter event, Epstein finished with a total score of 187.80 with only four points separating her from Marist's Kimberly Tobias (183.60). Epstein recorded a score of 198.90 to finish with top honors in the 3-meter portion.
The first three spots in the 50 freestyle were separated by nine mili-seconds, as Marist's Madeline Arciello (24.95) came in first followed by the Griffs' Oakey (25.02) in second and Kelli Graber (25.04) in third.
"I was very proud of how our womens team has progressed over the last month and the young team is starting to come together," stated Vanderzell.
The Golden Griffins will return to the pool on the road when they travel to Pittsburgh, Pa. to face Duquesne in a dual on Friday, November 18 at 5:00 p.m.
NOTES: Marked the first time Marist has come to Buffalo, N.Y. for a dual meet with the Golden Griffins... Also marked the first dual between the two teams... The Canisius women faced the reigning MAAC champion Red Foxes, who have captured seven of the last eight conference titles... The Marist men have also finished as one of the top three teams since they joined in 1996, claiming 12 titles in that span.


text: SEATTLE, April 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Cell Therapeutics, Inc. (CTI) (NASDAQ and MTA: CTIC) today announced that the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), a non-departmental public body of the Department of Health in the United Kingdom, issued draft guidance on PIXUVRI ® (pixantrone) as a monotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with multiply relapsed or refractory aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (aggressive B-cell NHL). The draft guidance does not recommend funding of pixantrone (PIXUVRI) by the UK's National Health Service (NHS) and requests that consultees, including CTI, healthcare professionals and members of the public, comment on the preliminary recommendations, which are available to view on the NICE website. The consultation will be open until May 1, 2013, and any comments received will be fully considered by the independent committee of experts during the next stage of guidance development. In May 2012, the European Commission (EC) granted conditional marketing authorization in the European Union (E.U.) for PIXUVRI as a monotherapy for adult patients with multiply relapsed or refractory aggressive B-cell NHL based on the results of the EXTEND, or PIX301, pivotal randomized Phase 3 clinical trial. PIXUVRI was made available to patients in eight countries in the European Union in the fourth quarter of 2012, and some patients in other countries have already started to receive the treatment. Prior to the approval of PIXUVRI in the E.U., there were no approved agents or standard of care in this disease. The PIX301 trial was designed utilizing agents in the comparator arm that have anti-tumor activity in relapsed disease and are typically employed as palliative therapy for these patients. "We look forward to working with NICE to bring PIXUVRI to what we believe is an unserved patient population for whom PIXUVRI represents the first pharmaceutical product approved for patients with aggressive B-cell NHL in the E.U. in over 25 years," said James A. Bianco, M.D., President and CEO of CTI. "The overall data from the Phase 3 PIX301 clinical trial demonstrated a favorable benefit-to-risk ratio for a disease where there is a clear unmet medical need and we believe this was confirmed by the European Commission in May 2012 with its decision to grant conditional marketing authorization in the E.U. for PIXUVRI. We believe strong support among UK lymphoma experts and the data in the labeled population of patients with aggressive B-cell NHL who failed 2 or 3 prior lines of therapy demonstrates PIXUVRI is a cost-effective therapy for this end-of-life disease population." About PIXUVRI (pixantrone) PIXUVRI is a novel aza-anthracenedione with unique structural and physiochemical properties. Unlike related compounds, PIXUVRI forms stable DNA adducts and in preclinical models has superior anti-lymphoma activity compared to related compounds. PIXUVRI was structurally designed so that it cannot bind iron and perpetuate oxygen radical production or form a long-lived hydroxyl metabolite -- both of which are the putative mechanisms for anthracycline induced acute and chronic cardiotoxicity. These novel pharmacologic properties allow PIXUVRI to be administered to patients with near maximal lifetime exposure to anthracyclines without unacceptable rates of cardiotoxicity.


text: I do billing for a chiropractor's office and have a situation. A patient was seen back in March of this year for a worker's comp accident. However, on 5/27/07, she was involved in a MVA and has a new set of injuries. We billed out a 99203 to the auto insurance on 6/1/07 and the patient is no longer being treated under the w/c accident. The auto insurance is stating that the are aware the patient was seen before for a different accident and will not pay for a new office visit. I was under the impression that if it is a new accident and new injury that it would warrant a 99203 because you would need to have an initial report done for that accident. Or is this wrong? Please help!! Thank you!

LOS ANGELES -- Finally, in his team's 129th game of the season, home was truly sweet for Chan Ho Park.
But not without a few anxious moments.
Park pitched eight strong innings to earn his first win at Dodger Stadium this season, and Eric Karros and Gary Sheffield homered as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Chicago Cubs 4-3 Saturday.
The loss was the 17th in 20 games for the Cubs, assuring them of their worst August in franchise history. They are 5-22 with three games left this month; their previous worst August was 8-21 in 1921.
The Dodgers, meanwhile, won for the seventh time in nine games.
Sammy Sosa, who leads the majors with 53 homers, had one hit in four at-bats and drove in two runs. His RBI single in the eighth drew the Cubs within one run, but Park then pitched out of a bases-loaded, one-out jam.
Rockies 11, Phillies 6, 1st game
DENVER -- Neifi Perez and Todd Helton will figure prominently in Colorado's rebuilding.
Perez and Helton, tabbed the cornerstone players of the club's future had three hits and two RBIs each to go along with several sparkling defensive plays as Colorado beat Philadelphia in the first game of a day-night doubleheader.
''Those two were involved in three key double plays and had some big hits for us,'' Colorado manager Jim Leyland said of Perez and Helton, who replaced veterans Walt Weiss and Andres Galarraga at the start of last season. ''Neifi continues to make plays and improve as a hitter. I can't imagine anyone playing a better shortstop in the National League.''
Giants 6, Pirates 2
SAN FRANCISCO -- Spot starter Mark Gardner allowed just two hits in seven scoreless innings for his first victory since July 3, leading San Francisco past Pittsburgh.
Gardner (4-9) was recently dropped from the rotation in favor of rookie Joe Nathan, but a rainout in Chicago earlier this week forced him to start.
Last season, Gardner went 2-0 with a 2.12 ERA against Pittsburgh, and he picked up right where he left off.
For the first time in six games, the Pirates did not score in the first inning. Al Martin's two-out single in the third and Brant Brown's one-out double in the fifth were the only hits Gardner allowed.
Gardner had gone 0-3 with a 7.88 ERA in five starts since defeating Los Angeles 9-1 on July 3. Gardner struck out five without a walk.
The Giants scored in four of the six innings pitched by Francisco Cordova (8-7). Leadoff hitter Marvin Benard had four of the Giants' 13 hits and scored three runs.
