Denison gets third NCAC title in a row
Denison Athletics
The Big Red set a new conference record with 19 victories en route to the program's third consecutive win at the North Coast Athletic Conference Championship from C.T. Branin Natatorium in Canton, Ohio. Not only did Denison walk away with their fourth overall conference title, they did it in style. DU piled up six meet records while defeating second-place Kenyon by 347 points. That's the largest margin of victory at a conference championship since 1987-88 and it's the fifth-largest margin in the 27-year history of the conference.
Denison senior Ksenia Golovkina was named the women's Swimmer of the Year after an eye-popping swim in tonight's 200 breaststroke. Golovkina totaled five conference titles over the weekend and set new conference marks in both breaststroke events. Tonight, Golovkina shattered the school record, and meet record by three seconds. The previous DU record belonged to Lauren Smith (2:19.59) and had stood since 1999.
Denison's consecutive win streak came to an end in the 200 butterfly when Kenyon's Hannah Saiz broke the NCAC record with a time of 2:01.80. Coming in second was Laurel Brabson in 2:05.35. In prelims, Brabson posted a strong 'B' cut time of 2:03.35.
Despite the loss, Denison recovered quickly and won the 400 free relay for the third consecutive year and the sixth time overall. Tully Bradford started things off and Alyssa Swanson followed with a 50.19 split to hold the Big Red's lead. The relay was closed out by Victoria Masney and Marit Wangstad as DU ended with an 'A' cut time of 3:25.40.
Swanson, who won six championships this year to run her career title to 12, led a group of eight DU swimmers in the 100 freestyle. Swanson defended her crown in the event with a season-best and 'A' cut time of 51.10. Denison's seven other swimmers in the event all placed in the top-10. Earning 'B' cuts from that group were Wangstad, Masney, Morgan Nuess and Maddie Armitage.
Three-peats seemed to be the theme of the evening for the Big Red and two swimmers that didn't break the trend were Hilary Callen and Emily Schroeder. Both won their respective events for the third consecutive year and both posted season-best swims in the events. For Callen, it came in the 1650 freestyle where she pulled away from Kenyon's Caitlin Meirs over the final 200 yards for an 'A' cut time of 16:59.25. This was also Callen's third win of the championship and her ninth NCAC title, overall.
For Schroeder, the 200 backstroke crown was hers for the third time. She touched in 2:00.99, just missing her own NCAC record of 2:00.88 set last year. Second-place was taken by Lindsay Zeberlein who picked up another 'A' cut with a swim of 2:02.54. Sarah Yu and Cari Martin posted provisional times in fourth and fifth place, respectively.
In addition to Golovkina's Swimmer of the Year award, DU took two other awards in the post-meet ceremony. Second-year diving coach Jason Glorius won his second consecutive Coach of the Year award and senior Lizzie Litwak earned her first NCAC Diver of the Year plaque after her victory in Friday's three-meter dive.

A forthcoming connected device — a onesie shirt that monitors a baby's position, breathing, temperature and sound — poses the dilemma of how to make one's little data open to collaboration with other systems developed for the internet of things.
Each washable Peeko Monitor shirt from Rest Devices contains a strip that detects information and then connects to a thumb-sized data logger, which wirelessly sends data to a Wi-Fi Station. From that point, it's relayed to Amazon (s amzn) Web Services, which normalizes the data and directs it to smartphone apps.
A package of three shirts, the logger, the Wi-Fi station and the smartphone app will be available in stores for $199 following a planned July launch, Rest Co-founder and CEO Carson Darling told me at the Strata conference in Santa Clara, Calif., on Thursday. The company is also testing a shirt for adults that can monitor for sleep apnea.
The Boston-based company, which has taken on around $500,000 in seed funding, has a few interesting question to wrestle with, including:
- How can Rest minimize incorrect alerts that unnecessarily wake up parents if a baby's breathing changes in a normal way while also giving alerts that prove the device is working? The company is already getting feedback from parents using the product in beta tests to improve algorithms.
- Should Rest partner with health systems to make sure babies can continue to be monitored even after they leave hospitals? Customers might be able to compare their babies' live patterns with aggregate normal information or the babies' individual tendencies, depending on how the product evolves.
- Should Rest set off on the journey of getting regulatory approval as a medical device that can help diagnosis and treatment? For now, Rest will release the Peeko Monitor as a non-regulated product such as a camera and microphone for baby-watching. But perhaps the Food and Drug Administration might want to regulate it, as it did for a connected toothbrush.
- Perhaps most importantly, how open should the data gathered about babies be? Darling recognized the value of tying such data in with other connected devices, such as a thermostat, which could be automatically lowered should that help parents and their baby get some sleep. And he knows the data could help people learn more about babies' sleeping patterns, which could be valuable for the medical community. But Darling also said he wants to provide data where it's useful.
Whether or not the product will be able to push data into a larger system for many connected devices, such as Qualcomm's (s qcom) AllJoyn peer-to-peer network, appears to be an important issue as more such devices are emerging, and managing all the data could become a hassle. My colleague Stacey Higginbotham has noted that as people adopt more and more connected devices, developers would be wise to think about ways for computers to make decisions on all the incoming data, rather than relying on humans to do it all on their own. And that means it would be best for the data to be open.
Those questions aside, selling the Peeko Monitor to parents who are nervous as it is could be a challenge in itself.

Good experience during a first-time visit to my new primary care doctor, a 2-hour visit with lots of staff and other patients around.
For you locals, it's the Rainbow Medical Center (1302 W Craig Rd) across from Home Depot. This is one of those medical buildings with a half-dozen doctors.
Spent about 1 hour in the open waiting area filling out all those first time patient forms (OMG, I hate those places, all sorts of sick people hanging around). Never less than eight or ten people with nobody seeming to notice.
Spent about 1 hour in the scary parts of the place. Everybody noticed, but no adverse reactions. Almost blew it when the med tech took my weight. I carry bandolier style due to my weight so I slipped the strap over my head. Just for an instant, I started to hand it to the tech to hold for me before I thought to myself .... :sign07: dumb $h#t!! Just laid it on a nearby cart within arms reach; only took a moment.
Might have made a convert. While waiting for the doctor in one of those teeny back rooms, the med tech brought in another tech, who was fascinated by guns, for a chat. Neither of them knew that NV was an open carry state. I educated for a while about why I carry -- self defense needed, better deterrence IMO of OC v. CC, places banning guns, etc. The guy left with a really big grin.
Doctor didn't seem to care. I took off the bandolier rig and laid it on the examining table while he listened to my lungs, so he couldn't have missed seeing it.
I hope this was another example that citizens are desensitizing to OC, and not just that nobody sees much of a threat from the overweight seasoned citizen.
Be safe out there. :wave:

Anal Furunculosis Questions
Hey everyone,
So I recently adopted a 3 year old GSD named Mac. He is diagnosed with this condition and I'm not sure what to do. I've had multiple shepherds so far and none have had this problem until now.
I have an appointment scheduled with a veterinary dermatologist tomorrow but I would like to know if anyone has had a dog with this before. He has lots of constipation and most times cannot pass stool. Lots of grunting and straining which is very hard to watch.
Any suggestions?
Anal furunculosis is more commonly known as perianal fistula in Canada/US and we have lots of members who have had PF dogs. Bumping your thread so it can get noticed today. You can do a search on this site for perianal fistulas and there will be lots of threads.
There is also a yahoo group called PF-L with a lot of members. Don't normally mention other forums but that is a very specific condition that crosses many breed lines.
Been through it. I know it is immune system related. My last dog who was PF passed away in 2008 so I am sure much more info since then. I will say that we gave him a fiber supplement that really seemed to help keep things soft.........
It is a tough road.
Been there down this twice.. The above link is the main PF site, there is also a listing of vets by state that are experienced in the condition.
Not sure a dermatologist will do much good, but it's worth a try..And yes it can be a tough road.
You want to find out/figure out 'why', is it an anal gland issue? Or otherwise. IF it's an anal gland issue, I'd have the glands removed.
Alot of dogs that have PF's if it's other than a gland issue, usually have other issues going on, allergies, ibd, epi, etc..
Check out the website and I encourage you to join the group/email list, you'll get tons of advice/suggestions and support
My Riley had perianal fistulas and the Yahoo group was a great support. The treatments are many and varied and I am not up to date on it. Riley was last treated with a topical ointment but went thru laser surgery, all the various medications, etc. She lived with the condition in relative comfort and died in March 2001 of a stroke - age unknown as she was a rescue.

By Dianne Cornish, REVIEW STAFF

Cassandra Pearse is counting the days to Friday, Nov. 16. That's when she'll climb on stage at the Milton Centre for the Arts to perform in the opening night presentation of The Music Man, a musical that will allow the Waterdown teen to showcase her talents as a dancer, singer and actor.

"I'm getting really excited about it," said the 14-year-old student of Waterdown Dancers Inc. "I can't wait to get to the theatre to actually perform on stage."

Pearse landed the role of Amaryllis, a young piano student to the female lead in the musical, after auditioning with several other teens for the role.

"Up until now, Cassandra has played a lot of roles as part of an ensemble, but this is like her own part" explained her mom, Elizabeth, adding that her daughter's training in competitive dancing helped prepare her for the role. Being a real-life piano student also helped.

"It's a fun role," said the Grade 9 student at Waterdown District High School (WDHS) who has also been a carrier for the Flamborough Review for the past four years.

"I play a kind of cheeky character who makes fun of others." That's a bit of challenge as she explains, "That's not really my character (in everyday life)."

For the past month, Pearse has been travelling to the Georgetown Armouries to rehearse for the show, three times a week. She also practices dancing three times weekly at the Waterdown Dancers Inc. studio on Mill Street.

Despite a busy schedule, she continues to maintain her standing as a straight 'A' student. She has aspirations of being a marine biologist, but also dreams of performing on Broadway someday. "I just love being on stage," she confided.

The Music Man, being presented by Globe Productions of Milton, tells the story of a con man who poses as a boys' marching band organizer and leader in River City, Iowa, where he sells band instruments and uniforms to naïve townsfolk with the intent of skipping town with the cash. But his plans go awry when he meets and falls in love with the

town's librarian and piano teacher.

The show, featuring music and lyrics by Meredith Willson, was a Broadway hit in 1957 and won five Tony Awards. Its success led to a popular 1962 film adaptation, starring Robert Preston as the manipulative but charming con man.

The Milton production features a large cast of children and adults, including a barbershop quartet with singers from Hamilton's Harbourtown Sound group that rehearses every week in Millgrove.

It will be presented Nov. 16-18, with evening performances beginning at 8 p.m. and matinees, Nov. 17 and 18, beginning at 2 p.m. Tickets are $27 for adults, $25 for students and $16 for youth, 12 and under; they can be obtained online at www.miltoncentreforthearts.ca or by contacting Chudleigh's Box Office at 1010 Main Street East in Milton at 905-878-6000 or 1-866-957-0004.

Despite her youth, Pearse has performed widely in theatre and dance productions. In 2009, she played young Cosette in the WDHS production of Les Misérables and in 2010 she appeared as part of the children's ensemble in Theatre Aquarius's A Christmas Carol. Last year, she appeared in The Rose Theatre's production of A Christmas Carol in Brampton and also appeared with performers in the opening act at the 2011 IIFA (International Indian Film Academy) Awards at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto.

Pearse said a lot of preparation work is required for her role as Amaryllis in the upcoming Music Man production. "I've got a lot of lines, I sing with the main character and I also play the piano." In addition, she's featured in all the dance routines and is busily learning a new skill, baton twirling.

She started her dance instruction at the age of three at the former Linda Collins Dance Studio in Waterdown. Later, she began taking dance instruction at Waterdown Dancers Inc., leaving there for a couple of years before returning to the Mill Street studio this year because she "likes it best."

Pearse finds dancing to be "a lot of fun" and is eager to expand her skills as a dancer, singer and actor on stage. The Music Man will help her meet that goal and she's genuinely looking forward to her time in the spotlight.

I highly recommend Juvederm! I have a problem with volume underneath my eyes from rapid weightloss, harsh diets and aging. This is my 2nd time going getting it done and I have to say that I am officially addicted. The key is to find a skilled injector. Afterall, this is your face and you don't want to just get something of Groupon for your first time. I am 34 years old and people are always surprised when I tell them my age. They could be just being nice, but I have a feeling it's the Juvederm (and chemical peels too). My only disclaimer is the first time can be very scary. It kind of painful the first time and I bruised pretty badly. You can also hear the product being put in and it makes kind of crunchy sound. Don't worry , this is all normal and very very worth it! The 2nd time was a peice of cake.

Monday marked the end of the season for most of the Reds affiliates. Louisville, Pensacola, and Dayton completed their schedules. Bakersfield played their last regular season game and await the California League playoffs after winning its North Division first half of the season. Rookie league Billings has three games remaining and currently holds a one-game lead for the Pioneer League north division second half championship.
Louisville ended their finale with a 2-0 home loss to Indianapolis in a game shortened by rain in the eighth inning. The Bats' offense was limited to only three hits on the evening. Joey Votto got another rehab appearance and struck out twice before lining out to the shortstop. Tim Gustafson got the start and allowed four hits/two walks in four innings. He only gave up one run, but that was enough to hang the loss on him, finishing his AAA record at 5-7 this season.
In some on-the-field antics, Indianapolis player Jeff Larish was supposed to play all nine positions. He only got eight of them in before the rain ended the game. The Indians 316# reliever Jose Diaz ultimately stole the show. In a rare at-bat he hit a ground ball and advanced to second on an errant throw. Not satisfied to stay there, he then stole third before scoring one of the game's two runs on a single. The Bats finished their season at 51-93.
Pensacola ended their season with a 8-1 home loss to Tennessee. Brodie Greene went 3-4 and drove in their only run. Billy Hamilton and Josh Fellhauer added two hits apiece. Wirfin Obispo allowed only a single unearned run on two hits in four innings, but that was enough for the loss. He had a 2.23 ERA for the Wahoos this season. There was high turnover on the fish roster this season from promoting players to last-place Louisville and inheriting new ones from a strong first-half at Bakersfield. They finished the with an overall record of 68-70.
Billy Hamilton Theft Watch:
Hamilton doubled to lead off the first and was picked-off second. He led off the sixth with a single and came around to score the Blue Wahoo's only run without stealing a base in the inning. He finished the minor league season with 155 stolen bases in 192 attempts in 132 games split between Bakersfield and Pensacola. He is high on the list of candidates for Reds minor league player of the year after hitting .311/.410 OB% overall and setting the minor league SB record.
Bakersfield ended their regular season finale with a win over Rancho Cucamonga at Sam Lynn Field. The Blaze broke a 1-1 tie with two runs in the bottom of the fifth and pulled away for a 7-4 final score. Travis Mattair was moved to ninth in the lineup and responded with three hits including his nineteenth home run. Dominic D'Anna added two hits with a homer. Steve Selsky broke the fifth inning tie with a two-run homer which was his fifteenth in 69 Cal League games. Tim Crabbe allowed one run on four hits/one walk while striking out five over five innings for the win. Michael Dennhardt came in to retire the final batter of the game for his first save.
The Blaze will next play in the California League playoffs as the first-half North Division champions. Their roster has been overhauled as many of the top first-half performers have since received promotions to Pensacola. They finished with an overall mark of 72-68 including a 31-39 second half.
Dayton ended their season with a 7-3 win at West Michigan. Jefry Siera had three hits and drove in a run. Sean Buckley had two hits including his fourteenth home run. Four other Dragons added two hits each: Sammy Diaz, Taylor Wrenn, Junior Arias, and Yovan Gonzalez. Ismael Guillon got the win by allowing three runs (two earned) on six hits/one walk with nine strikeouts. He finished at 2-0/2.55 with Dayton and 6-1/2.38 overall in fifteen games split between them and Billings. The Dragons finished the year with an overall record of 60-78.
Billings moved a step closer to the Pioneer League second half north division championship with a 5-2 win at Helena. The run differential came from a Mustang rally in the ninth for three which capped off with a two-run double by Jon Matthews. Beau Amaral was 2-4 with a walk and scored twice. Robert Maddox was 2-2 with two walks and an RBI. Robert Ramirez added two hits and Jesse Winker drove in the go-ahead run. Dan Langfield allowed two runs on five hits/two walks/two strikeouts in four innings for no decision. Jose Amezcua relieved him with four scoreless, one-hit innings with seven strikeouts for the win. Jesus Adames tossed a scoreless ninth for the save.

Channel Nine is standing by The Block contestant Dani Bacha although he has been exposed as a convicted drug manufacturer.
Sydney newspaper The Daily Telegraph revealed the former stripper's jailbird past on Saturday. They reported the 29-year-old spent six months in Parklea prison after being charged with drug offences.
Bacha was reportedly charged with being an accessory before the fact of knowingly taking part in the manufacture of speed. He pleaded guilty in November 2002 and was released on a twelve-month good behaviour bond - having already served six months in custody at this stage.
His past also includes a stint as a stripper and owner of Playboys Afloat. His wife of six months, Monique Koryzma is a Star City casino staffer and has appeared in television advertisements.
The Parramatta couple had been considered the favourites to win - although the contestants are only one week into the 12-week series.
Channel Nine told the newspaper they don't run background checks on the 4000 hopeful couples who applied to star in the latest series.
"Where appropriate we require network [contestants] to disclose any criminal convictions to us and if necessary we seek confirmation of the accuracy of the information they provide us," a channel spokeswoman said.
"It's not appropriate to comment on any particular contestant at this stage because everything is confidential regarding the program until it goes to air."
The revelations are guaranteed to put the residents of Whistler Street in Manly, where the series is being filmed, further offside.
One next-door neighbour, Tim Sharp, was worried about nocturnal emissions from the building, upon learning of the building's selection for The Block.
"Because the contestants have to continue to work, they do all their renovations overnight. I will be deeply aggrieved if there's hammering and power tools outside my windows," he told the Herald in December.
Amongst complaints about noise and increased traffic, other residents aren't too impressed at the level of renovation required of the competing couples.
"It seems a bit of a farce," Eric Pickles, who lives a few doors from the unit block, said. "The builders have been there for three weeks already. They're doing all the work before the contestants move in."
Council documents show Nine spent $350,000 to restore the building into four empty units after its previous life as a backpacker hostel.

If there's one sore spot with a certain segment of users it was how the release of Windows Phone 8 lacked FM radio support—something which had been around since the Zune player days. No reason was ever stated, though it's a safe guess that it was something Microsoft simply did not have time to complete by October's release schedule.
Now, according to sources at the Verge, that situation will change with the expected GDR2 update coming out later this summer. That addition will allow users, when headphones are plugged in, to use their Windows Phone as an FM radio—an important source of news and entertainment for many in emerging markets who can't afford streaming data plans.

Young breast cancer patients fight a lonely battle
INDIANAPOLIS -- When Lisa Osterman needed advice in her 20s, she'd turn to her girlfriends. They helped one another through the challenges of finding a job, the ups and downs of dating, the joys of marriage and childbirth, the laughs and laments of parenting.
But when Osterman discovered she had breast cancer two years ago at age 31, none of her friends could relate to her feelings and fears. They couldn't advise her on the toughest of questions. They couldn't suggest what treatments to have or how to tell her kids.
The mother of two young children felt afraid and alone.
"For me it's a very isolating experience," Osterman said. "When older women are diagnosed with breast cancer, they have a girlfriend, cousin or sister who has had that experience. . . . But when a young woman is diagnosed with breast cancer they only know older women."
The vast majority of women diagnosed with breast cancer are over 50. But women younger than 40 who develop the disease face additional challenges.
They may have young children who they want to see grow into adulthood. They face infertility from chemotherapy treatments. They may have high-powered jobs that do not lend themselves to sick leave. They are also more likely to have an aggressive form of cancer, which doesn't respond to the less toxic treatments doctors offer.
"There's no time at which breast cancer is a fun disease to have," said Dr. George Sledge, a medical oncologist at Indiana University Simon Cancer Center, "but it can be awfuller in the youngest group of women."
When Osterman was diagnosed in June 2009, the only breast cancer survivor younger than 40 she knew was her children's preschool teacher. The teacher told Osterman about the Young Survival Coalition, a support and advocacy group for young women with breast cancer. The next weekend Osterman attended a coalition panel on breast reconstruction.
Osterman has stayed involved during the past two years, because successful treatment does not eliminate the need for moral support.
"Everybody thinks because you are alive and don't have cancer, it's this thing in the past," she said. "You have physical reminders every day, when you look in the mirror."
The isolation of breast cancer hit Jen Will hard when she was diagnosed in April at age 31. Living in a small community near LaGrange, Ind., Will had no family history of the disease and knew no young women who had had it. She at first thought the lump in her breast was a clogged milk duct because she had only recently stopped breast feeding her infant son.
After her diagnosis, Will spent days crying and praying. She asked herself, "Why me?" But then she realized, "Why not me?" Better she should endure this than have her children face cancer, she consoled herself.
Still, she wished someone could understand. She didn't want to burden her husband or parents. She hated when her cancer prevented her from pulling her weight in the family. And the other women she met with breast cancer couldn't understand.
"I felt like the 50-year-olds who had breast cancer couldn't quite relate to me," she said. "I just felt like I wanted to find other women who have been through this. That's been hard to do."
Whenever Will was preparing to have chemotherapy, her 2 1/2-year-old daughter would ask if she would be sick when she came home. The little girl also knows that Will is going to have an operation at the end of the month that will leave her with "an owie where her boobies were," Will said.
Coming to grips with the prospect of chemo-induced infertility was also hard.
"At first I was really upset, even angry," she said. "I didn't want to lose my right to choose if I had additional children."
Throughout her treatment, Will's parents helped out with her two young children.
Not every young mother has that luxury.
Laurie Annan was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year, shortly after her mother learned she had the disease. The mother of four never thought she'd be at risk. Still, after her 61-year-old mother was diagnosed, Annan, 38, decided to have a mammogram. To her surprise, the scan came back positive.
"I was extremely shocked," the Westfield resident said. "All I cried for and begged for was to live. I was ready to take chemo, ready to take radiation, anything I needed to do to live."
Both she and her mother who lives in LaPorte are going through breast cancer treatment now, each one yearning to be able to help the other out.
But her mother has already given her the best gift she could.
"My mother really is my guardian angel," she said. "She saved my life."
Jennifer Merschdorf, the Young Survival Coalition's chief executive officer, said doctors wonder if breast cancer is becoming more prevalent in younger generations.
An estimated 18,600 women younger than 45 develop breast cancer each year, according to the coalition. It is the leading cancer killer for women under 40.
An increased incidence of breast cancer makes sense biologically, said Dr. Erika Rager, a breast cancer surgeon with the Franciscan St. Francis Breast Surgery Program. The population has grown fatter and girls are menstruating earlier, factors that raise one's cancer risk.
Or, such cases may stand out in doctors' minds because the patients have more dramatic stories, said Rager, also medical director of the hospital's Cancer Quality of Life program.
That's how Dr. Kandice Ludwig, a breast cancer surgeon with Indiana University Health, views the situation.
"With a woman who's 30, you're doing a lot of coordinating in the beginning, whereas with a woman who's 65, we start with surgery. Then the cancer's out and they're good to go," she said. "I don't necessarily think that something's going on (with younger women). I think we're so much more aware of it."
When a younger woman is diagnosed with breast cancer she has lengthy conversations with her doctors. She may be pondering a full mastectomy. Another set of conversations and doctor's visits will arise if a woman needs chemotherapy but plans to have more children. She'll need to consider freezing her eggs because chemotherapy could leave her infertile.
Younger women are also more likely to have mastectomies or even bilateral mastectomies to be cautious, Rager said.
A woman in her 30s hopes to live another 50 years and does not want to risk a recurrence in 10 or 20 years. A breast cancer patient in her 70s may be comfortable with the risk of a recurrence in 20 years.
"You have 45 years to live; we want to make sure that we do everything possible and we keep a very close eye on you," Ludwig said. "We don't know honestly what's going to happen with these women because years ago, they didn't live long enough."
Living long figures large in Will's plans. While she would never have opted to travel this path, she said she will never again complain about a bad day.
Since she learned she had cancer, Will started a blog, www.notbywillalone.com, about her experiences. She hopes that it may help others grapple with their own illnesses. Still, she won't regret when this episode in her life comes to a close.
At the end of this month, she will have a bilateral mastectomy.
"I would never forgive myself if it (the cancer) recurred," she said. "I want to make sure I have the best shot of not having to deal with this again."

Discussion in 'Football, Baseball, and Hockey' started by #1Pistonfan, Jun 16, 2006.
I'll trade you Drew Brees and another player for Houshdmandzeda.
Vick did really good for you Jammer.
WoW! Jamm upset the mighty Himat! P. Rivers is available.
Man, I HATE it when one of my fantasy players plays against my favourite team. Who do I chear for? This week it was Frank Gore against the Lions. I decided to sit him even though the Lions D sucks and both started DTs are out, just because I couldn't bring myself to hope that he had a good game. So Gore decided to take advantage of my loyalty and rush for 159 yards and a TD in less than 3 quarters of play.
Come on Steve, I need 10.10 points from you.
Philly D came through for me and I got my 3 win. I'm doing better than the Lions!
I'm very proud of you TFD!
Hey Cro, do you know of a good reg. cleaner, as a lot of my dll's are bad.
No, I'm sorry pal. Backup and clean install is the way to go. I don't waste much time trying to fix Windows anymore.
Wow. My man crush on LT just keeps growing. They guy is UNSTOPPABLE! He just scored 4 TDs for the 3rd time in 6 weeks. He has 6 multi TD games this season. He has gone over 100 combo yards (rushing and receiving) all but 1 week this season. He just became the youngest player ever to go over 100 TDs. Oh, and he also threw for a TD this season. The guy is amazing.
How do you like my new QB...Cowboys T. Romo. 42 fanstasy pt. yesterday!
Actually only 35. I had to use Jim Leyland for my 4th victory. Hire Millen is up next, he don't want none of this: Brady and 3 of his receivers vs Detroit. I'm trying to get Cory Dillion. I'm very weak at RB.
A really funny article on how Fantasy Football is taking over and changing the game itself. ESPN.com - NFL - Garber: Fantasy craze produces awkward moments for real players A great quote from Cato June, LB for the Colts on having Tom Brady on his fantasy team:
Are you concerned anymore?
Jammer might pull an upset. Vick and LT can give him really good stats.
The only upset is that my guys have been injured all season, otherwise I'd be in first place by now. Oh well, I guess I can wait an extra 2 weeks.
You're season will end this week.
Why, are the other 3 teams planning on quitting?
I've ended up facing Starov. Me blowing you out will just be posponed.

The App That Allows Women to Rate Men Has Just Become A Lot More Man-Friendly
On the seventh episode of TLDR, PJ interviewed Maureen O'Connor about Lulu, an app which allows women to rate men based on a set of prescribed hashtags as innocuous as #loveshisfamily and #perfectgrammar, to those a little more...well, evocative, like #f**kedmeandchucked me, or #sleepsinthewetspot.
The idea was mortifying to my charming co-host, who was unhappy about the lack of agency he had with the app, because it allows users to make a profile for him without his consent.
PJ: I find it so aggravating that someone would make a profile for me that I can't access or change.
MAUREEN O'CONNOR: This is what makes people like James Franco go insane, right? We're all little celebrities and cannot control what is said about us.
Well, PJ can relax. Lulu has announced that its app will now be opt-in, meaning you have to agree to have an account created for you. A lulu spokeswoman gave me this statement:
"Our vision has always been to be a private place for girls to share their experiences and make smarter decisions -- starting with guys and relationships. Millions of guys have signed up for Lulu and love getting feedback from the Lulu community. Some guys don't want to be on Lulu, and we respect that. We've decided to be the better woman and only have guys on Lulu who are open to feedback."
I honestly think this is a little sad. Assessing women based on their looks is so baked into our culture that an app which reversed those roles felt refresing. It appealed to my sense of the internet as this lawless frontier where no one was completely safe, but everyone is completely empowered. But then again, I'm married, and I don't have to worry about what might be said about me on an app like that.

Come Out, Come Out, Wherever You Are
Sound familiar?
Does it bring to mind the childhood game of searching for someone hiding? Or perhaps it brings to mind a common problem…
A file so massive that you pretty much felt like you were playing hide and seek every time you needed to find a particular part of the file.
Unfortunately, "come out, come out, wherever you are" doesn't really do much when you're looking for something in a file. So what is the answer? Is there a computer equivalent?
Happily for all of us, there is. It's known as the "Find" function and it certainly beats searching a file line by line.
To access the Find function you can either go to the Edit menu, Find choice or use Ctrl+F on the keyboard.
The Find window will open. (The look slightly different for each program.)
It can be a pretty easy window to use. Simply type in the word or words for which you are searching and click on the Find Next button.
The program will then begin to search the file for a match of the data you typed in.
When it finds a match, it will be highlighted in the document.
If it is the item you were searching for, click on the Cancel button. The Find window will close and you're finished!
If it wasn't the exact spot you were searching for, click the Find Next button and the program will continue the search.
When the program has searched the entire file, it will let you know with a pop-up information window. Click OK in the pop-up window and it will close. This leaves the Find window open and you can alter and/or start your search over again if necessary.
OK, so that's your basic search of a file using the Find window in its simplest form.
Each program has a Find window that's slightly different.
For example, in MS Word you can click on the More button to see additional options for search location and criteria. In MS Excel, the Find window allows you to choose where exactly to search along with some other search options and PowerPoint has a couple of its own choices.
The choices are pretty easy to understand. Take a few minutes to look them through. They can be a great help.
Well, there's the Find tip. Are you ready for a bonus?

Very nice TV for a good price
Have had this TV for about a month now, and am extremely happy with it. Picture quality is excellent, after you tweak it to your taste. Lots of people have posted their favorite settings on the internet in various forums. I find the VUDU an Netflix apps to work very well with a wired ethernet connection. We can stream high def movies and TV with no buffering and no picture degredation. As others have said, you absolutely must have an audio system to enjoy this TV, as the built in speakers are very poor. We use the optical audio out port to get audio to our A/V system. There are no problems with audio/video sync. My only complaint is with the screen reflectivity. It is not a glossy screen, so reflections are not terribly bad, but it is a semi-gloss surface that definitely shows reflections of bright lights and windows. My previous TV had a non-reflective screen, and I sure miss that (and only that).

My 15 week baby has a piddling habit. We've had him for about a week and a half. He piddles when he's happy to see you. He piddles when you pet him. He piddles when you put on his collar. He does not piddle when meeting new people. When getting in trouble and when were doing anything such as car rides and vet visits. What's going on?!

Lots of puppies this age are "excited pee-ers", my own included. Rule out a UTI or any medical reason, but beyond that all you can really do is be consistent with the potty training (weak bladder muscles at a young age plays a role), don't make a big deal of it, avoid over-excitement (we hate the "OMG PUPPY!!!!!" talk in our house... instant puddle)... just carry on business as usual. It's not really something you can correct them for... most will outgrow it.

Is it possible to use 5.1 channel surround sound with samsung nc10? I searched about eeepc 1000h, and it is possible to use surround sound with a S/PDIF connector. What about NC10?

A 36-year-old mother of two teenage girls has been given a suspended jail term for having sex with a 15-year-old boy.
The woman admitted to taking part in sexual activity with the boy in June last year.
Magistrate Jacqueline Padovani jailed the woman for two years suspended for four. She also placed her under a supervision order for three years and placed the minor under a protection order for three years.
The magistrate took into consideration the fact that the accused was a first time offender, had pleaded guilty at an early stage and was a single mother of two teenage daughters.
The court banned publication names.

Yingluck proposes reform body
BANGKOK — Thailand's caretaker Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra yesterday proposed a council to consider political reforms as she tried to quash huge protests in the capital demanding her resignation and the suspension of an election she has called for February.
The proposal, which comes after weeks of anti-government protests that have rallied more than 200,000 people at their peak, could be put into play soon and would be free of government interference, Ms Yingluck said in a televised address.
"We have considered and concluded a process can take place without disrupting the next election on Feb 2," she said. "I completely agree it is now time to come up with a new mechanism to really reform Thailand."
Ms Yingluck had called the snap election in a bid to deflate the protests, but her compromise offer was immediately rejected by the protesters, who draw strength from Bangkok's middle class and elite and who dismiss her as a puppet of her self-exiled brother and former Premier Thaksin Shinawatra.
The new plan calls for a council of 499 eminent Thais, chosen by a wider group of 2,000 people, to examine reform of Thailand's political system. It looks similar to the unelected "people's council" protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban has proposed to replace the government, with one crucial difference: Under the proposal, the reform council would operate alongside an elected government, not an appointed one.
"I insist that the new elected government will take this and implement what the council decides on how to reform the nation," Ms Yingluck said.
Mr Tavorn Seniem, a protest leader, dismissed the proposal and said there are no guarantees the government will listen to the council's recommendations.
"This council would work for the benefit of the government's side, not for all Thai people," he said.
A lawmaker from the main opposition Democrat party, which has backed the protests, called the plan unacceptable. Mr Thavorn Senneam, who resigned his parliamentary seat to join the protests, said: "I believe this is just to buy time to proceed with the election on Feb 2. Real change isn't going to happen."
The demonstrators still want to derail the election because they know Thaksin's populist political juggernaut is almost certain to win the vote, as it has at every ballot since 2001.
