Gracey gained national attention when she won Bissell's MVP Contest in 2010 and donated $10,000 to PurrEver Ranch Sanctuary — a donation which kept them in business. She worked tirelessly to purrmote big cat rescue through her Conservation Cub Club, a community of 50,000 fans of wild cat conservation.
I won't attempt to eulogize Gracey here, since her mom did so far more eloquently on Gracey's web site. Please drop by the Conservation Cub Club to add your remembrances of Gracey and send purrs to Joanne, Paul, and Bossy Blue Jay.

We know how hard it is to lose a beloved furry, so we were by the other day after reading about Gracey. We are very sad for her family.
We agree with Jan. Losing a beloved kitty is very sad.
We have left our purrs to Gracey's family.
Purrs Tillie and Georgia,
Treasure,Tiger,JJ and Julie
Oh no! I am just hearing of this. My thoughts are prayers are with Joanne. Loved Gracey.
We are all heartbroken. We love our sweet Gracey, as if she was one of our own family. Our thoughts and Prayers are with Joanne and Paul. xoxoxo
This is so sad. My thoughts and prayers are with Joanne and Paul. I know how hard it is to lose one of our beloved felines. I recently had to put down one of my community cats due to a mouth infection. I was heartbroken. My dear Lion King is in a better place now. No more suffering.
There were lots of tears at the award ceremony at Blog Paws when their blog nomination was listed…..she will be so missed.

The newly elected Conservative mayor of London, Boris Johnson, fired Sir Ian Blair, commissioner of the Metropolitan Police because he no longer had the confidence of the Mayor. There was great fear this firing meant political factors were now becoming a factor in deciding who will lead the London police. However, Sir Iran Blair finds himself in the midst of several conflicts, including charges from his own subordinates that he has been guilty of prejudice against Asians. This has been controversial questions raised about his administration of the police, but the antics of Mayor Johnson deal with issues that never should be allowed to enter questions of whether or not someone should serve in public office.
Mayor Johnson says it is time for a "clean break and a new start for policing in London. I have made it clear there comes a time in any organization that it is right to give new leadership." No one could argue with that statement, but without any specific charges being raised, one is left wondering what exactly has Blair done to warrant the firing.

The e-mails flooded into University of Maryland Police Chief David Mitchell's inbox — 20 or 30 in total — with virtually the same question: "Tell me what you're doing to keep my child safe."
In recent weeks, parents who signed up for the school's alert system have received five messages about robberies or attempted robberies on or near campus, punctuated by a bulletin about two indecent exposure incidents. Then a U-Md. graduate student shot two housemates, one fatally, before killing himself.
The spate of mayhem posed a problem for police and university officials, one they argue was mainly one of perception. Despite what students and their tuned-in parents think, crime at U-Md. has fallen in recent years, as it has on college campuses across the country. Some police officials blame the proliferation of systems that send out public safety alerts via e-mail, text and Twitter for fueling the false idea that universities are unsafe.
"The numbers, if you look at them, say this is one of the safest campuses in the United States," Mitchell said. "But when you have a string of incidents, yes, fear goes up."
Federal law has long required universities to alert their campuses of safety threats. But it wasn't until after the April 16, 2007, massacre at Virginia Tech — a mass killing some argue could have been mitigated by a more prompt alert — that legislators and government officials injected real urgency into that requirement.
In 2011, the Department of Education published a campus security guidebook that devotes a chapter to emergency notifications. It says that "a warning should be issued as soon as the pertinent information is available."
"This is critical; it's expected that even if you don't have all of the facts surrounding a criminal incident or incidents, you will issue a warning," the book says.
Most four-year residential colleges and universities have an emergency alert system in place that sends texts and e-mails. The University of Maryland allows anyone to sign up. At Georgetown and George Washington universities, relatives receive alerts only if students add them to their accounts.
That helps explain why the more than 131,000 people who signed up for U-Md. alerts have been inundated with messages about robberies and indecent exposures in recent weeks.
Then, about 1 a.m. Tuesday, 23-year-old engineering graduate student Dayvon Green set several fires in and around the off-campus house in College Park where he lived and shot two of his roommates.
As 22-year-old English major Stephen Rane lay dead in front of the house and a wounded housemate fled to a neighbor's, Green went around back and shot himself, police said.
Students and others took to Twitter to express their dismay. Some worried about their parents hearing the news via the text alerts.
"If my mom finds out whats been happening at umd she's going to try to make me come home :/," one wrote.
"The day that my mom signs up for the umd text alerts is the day that I will never go to college," said another.
It is unclear exactly how many U-Md. parents receive the notifications. About 5,800 who signed up for alerts indicated they are a "parent," said Maj. Marc Limansky, a U-Md. police spokesman. But the figure, he said, is low because users can get alerts without indicating their connection to the school.
Tracy Jennison of Potomac, whose son is a freshman at U-Md., said she does not subscribe to the university's crime alerts but called her son, Alec, as soon as she heard about the shooting on the news. Jennison said that and the other incidents made her wonder, "What is going on in College Park?"
"I am sure that every parent feels the way I do," she said. "I worry about it every day."
Experts say officials need to strike a balance — not over- or under-using their alert systems.
"When a text alert comes across to a student's cellphone, they need to take action immediately," perhaps avoiding campus or locking the dorm door, said S. Daniel Carter, who works for a campus safety advocacy group started by the families of victims and survivors of the Virginia Tech massacre. "If they get an alert about a situation that has already been resolved, they're going to take it less seriously."
That students will heed police warnings, after all, is not a given. When a gunman fled toward Ohio University after a robbery last month, officials canceled classes. But instead of holing up inside, some students went to the bars, tweeting about their revelry using the hashtags #FugitiveFest and #GundayFunday, according to reports in the student-run newspaper.
Georgetown Police Chief Jay Gruber said he believes that is one "unintended consequence" of a well-intentioned law.
"I would say that most colleges struggle with the same thing," he said.
Of the five recently reported robberies at Maryland, only one was on campus — a Feb. 8 incident in a parking lot in the heart of campus. Another robbery was determined to be a story fabricated by a student who owed a relative money. Police made arrests in two of the other cases.
Crime at Maryland has fallen in many categories in recent years. There were five robberies last year, including two off-campus cases in which U-Md. police arrested suspects. In 2005, there were 18 robberies. Overall crime on campus dropped by nearly 5 percent from 2011 to 2012, according to university police data.
And while some people believe crime has risen in the immediate off-campus area, crime rates have remained relatively flat there, according to data from Prince George's County police.
Mitchell said he sent a letter to the campus community Thursday highlighting some of his force's recent efforts to keep the campus safe, including beefed-up patrols. He said the university has allocated $500,000 to hire and equip five new officers to patrol off-campus areas — including the neighborhood where the shooting took place.
Mitchell said he plans to send out a similar message monthly that discusses crime on and off campus and efforts to stop it. That, he hoped, might put the worried parents who e-mailed him at ease.
"You would infer from those alerts that this huge crime wave is coming through campus," he said. "There needs to be, though, a balance here where we look at a bigger picture."

Discussion in 'Fantasy Sports Central' started by jammertime, Oct 5, 2007.
Since conception. We're identical twins (but I'm the good looking one).
Actually, they are siamese twins.
Siamese, identical, whatever. Either way, I'm still the good looking one.
Some good smack in this thread now. But how come all of you ladies waited until after the season to talk junk?
We were waitin' on Bezeach Good point though. We should continue pummeling each other in the baseball thread now. We're all in there anyhow.
I took a trip to Canada right before the fantasy hockey season started. I had my computer in the trunk of my car. As soon as I crossed the border, it froze. I searched around looking for a new computer, but all I found was trading posts trading moose meat. I had to wait six months before I got a new computer (because of the "survival season" in Canada, where people just stay inside and watch hockey all day because it is so cold outside, and thermometers don't even work because of the frigid temperatures.) Then as soon as it got warm enough, I came back (by snowmobile, because nobody owns cars). Then I bought a new computer and found the fantasy hockey season was over. That's why I didn't/couldn't talk smack.
LMAO. Bezeach has arrived!!!!
WORD I ALMOST feel sorry for the Cannuckians.
since you all havn't swapped the trash talk to the baseball line yet.... why couldn't he wait another week or two to show up so i could have won my first week..... on pace to match the tigers winnless season.
That's why you need to be a commissioner, round. As the baseball commissioner, I just scheduled myself to play a Canuckian (Jammertime) in the first round so that I could automatically get off to a great start.
What? I thought that was our spring training? I was resting my starters to save them for the season. Oh well, I'll have to get you next time.
Hold on a sec, the spring training already started??? My gosh, I thought the players are still at their camps.
Actually, 29 of the 30 MLB teams have started their season already. The Tigers will be starting up tomorrow. They are spotting everyone else 7 games just to make things more competitive.
That's kind of what I'm thinking too. Why just go out there and dominate when you can make it that much more interesting?

I am getting ready to chop the top on a 47 chevy 2dr sedan, it will be my first top chop. I know that it will be a real challenge, but I am up for it. I would like any advice from any one who has successfully done a chop on a 47 tudor sedan, it is a fleetmaster not a fleetline. I believe that the biggest challenge is going to be the back window area. I am open to advice and hopefully some pictures. Thank you.
Bill Corum
Bill you correct that one is going to be a big task. LOL Get some masking tape and try to lay it out first to see what you can do.I have also taken pix of the car and printed them on the printer and cut the pix just to see what wont fit and were things line up. I think you biggest challeng is in the rear window trunk area. I have seen guys cut and move the trunk area ahead but man its a lot of work.Try to keep the windsheild straight up is another bigg deal.You will see on a car that was not thought out well a windsheild that is layed back to far. If i were you i would also look for another (maybe really rotten)47 for roof parts.Its easer to mate 2 roofs than to piece the roof together with filler parts.(cause when you chop those the roof get bigger). I have also seen guys cut the top of the roof out of those cars around the rain gutter than cut the windows and fab up strip to make the roof bigger around the edges. Sorry this is so long but there are so many ways to do a chop.
I did my first Chop 30+ years ago. All I can say to you is, Measure, Mark, Plan then do it 3 more times B4 you touch any cutting device. Phil :nono:
I am working on a 35 Ford Sedan Delivery and getting ready to start a chop. I will keep you updated. Good Luck. Phil

One of the major themes at this and last year's NRF show might be summed up as "the return of the store" — the idea that recent years have seen retail come full circle, from decades of physical stores (and catalogs) only, to several years of beating the e-commerce-only drum ("stores are dead"), to a smart balance across all channels. The omnichannel approach — backed by smart technology and processes that allow for cross-channel inventory visibility, fulfill-from-anywhere, return-to anywhere, etc. — is now considered the ultimate in retailing, because it allows you to serve the customer wherever she wants to shop.
While it is important to offer your customers the opportunity to shop in any channel, it is also important not to take a one-size-fits-all approach to them. It's a tricky balance. You want to provide a seamless brand experience across channels, but you also need to understand what each channel offers that is different, and why customers choose to shop online at some times and at brick and mortar at others. Some of the reasons are obvious — time savings surely account for many online sales — but some are not.
In an article entitled "The Insourcing Boom" in the December 2012 issue of The Atlantic Monthly, Charles Fishman writes about the "just-getting-started return of industry to the United States." Fishman details a story we're all familiar with in the apparel industry: where once design and manufacturing took place close together on American shores, today, most of those functions are separated by thousands of miles. We're also familiar with the reasons for the much-heralded return of some manufacturing to our shores: rising labor costs in Asia, and increased U.S. labor productivity; customers that want more innovative products, faster; the rising cost of oil; political instability in other parts of the world; and less fractious labor unions.
While all of these conditions are driving manufacturing back home, there is yet another, and it may be the most crucial of all. Fishman's article focuses more specifically on GE, and its reopening of one of its long-shuttered factories in Louisville, Ky. What GE discovered, in short, is that when design and manufacturing first split, designers retain enough knowledge of the manufacturing process to design for it. After all, they'd previously been working hand in hand with manufacturers. Over time, however, an inherent understanding of how things are put together is lost. Technology changes, products change and factories change and designers eventually lose sight entirely of how best to manufacture the products they conceive. Eventually, Fishman writes, "the gap between the people imagining the products and the people making them becomes as wide as the Pacific."
The separation of design and manufacturing and the loss that accompanies it not only applies to apparel sourcing but I think provides a good analogy to the relationship of the brick-and-mortar store to the customer. While there's no denying the deep insights we gain into the consumer from online interactions — and vice versa — it's also true that the online experience, as wonderful as it can be, cannot replicate the experience of being in the store, and experiencing your brand in a physical space. Like listening to Springsteen on your iPod vs. having stage-side tickets, like watching Rick Steves' travel shows vs. backpacking around Europe, like checking a scorecard vs. walking the factory floor — there is no substitute for being there.
Without a brick-and-mortar presence that engages your customer in a compelling way, you will eventually lose sight of your customer, and they will lose sight of you. It may not happen immediately, but like GE designers who eventually had no clue how difficult it was to put together the dishwashers they designed, your brand will, over time, begin to lose sight of the customer. When there are not salespeople noticing the subtle changes in customer demands, when there are not fabrics and garments to touch and feel, when there is not a live vibe that shouts out your brand personality, it will eventually fade. Intimacy and loyalty will be lost, and customers will shop price, instead of product.
Your brick-and-mortar store is the heart of your omnichannel enterprise. Be sure to give it the love and care it needs to keep beating.

IACUC MISSION RWU's Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) will continue during disaster situations, natural or human, to oversee and monitor all research projects and laboratory classes utilizing vertebrates with the same integrity and dedication as regulated by OLAW and USDA.
BACKGROUND Institutions must adhere to provisions of the PHS Policy, the Guide, and the commitments detailed in their Animal Welfare Assurance with OLAW. This includes advance planning for conditions that could arise as a result of a disaster situation (e.g. human pandemic such as influenza, hurricanes and other natural disasters) that could jeopardize the health and wellbeing of animals because of a lack of personnel to care for the animals and/or to conduct IACUC official business.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has suggested institutions should plan for absenteeism of ~40% if a contagion such as the H1:N1 influenza virus should reach pandemic status. Regardless of external events, the Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare at NIH (OLAW) expects each institution's IACUC to continue to conduct business according to requirements found in the PHS Policy, the Animal Welfare Act and Regulations, and the Guide (OLAW 2009).
The IACUC:
RWU Plan for Conducting IACUC Business
The RWU IACUC will adopt the PHS policy provisions for social distancing measures to prevent the spread of disease, including:
OLAW Reporting Responsibilities
PHS Policy (IV.F.3) describes three rather specific circumstances that require a prompt report to OLAW: "The IACUC, through the Institutional Official, shall promptly provide OLAW with a full explanation of the circumstances and actions taken with respect to: a. any serious or continuing noncompliance with this Policy; b. any serious deviation from the provisions of the Guide; or c. any suspension of an activity by the IACUC1."
It should be apparent to most that there will likely be significant deficiencies and serious deviations from the Guide after a natural disaster. OLAW has published guidance on what constitutes "significant" and "serious" in the two slightly different contexts of semiannual reporting and prompt reporting5. "The term 'significant deficiency,' used in the PHS Policy and the USDA Animal Welfare Regulations, refers to any facility or program deficiency that is or may be a threat to the health or safety of animals. Program or facility deficiencies, including accidents and natural disasters, which cause injury, death, or severe distress to animals, are, by definition, 'significant'. Although it is not possible to provide an exhaustive listing of examples, some illustrations of significant facility deficiencies include failures in heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems and their associated electrical systems; inoperative watering systems; and general power failures of sufficient duration to affect critical areas such as isolators, barriers, surgical suites, and intensive care units…. When deficiencies involve serious or continuing noncompliance with the PHS Policy, serious deviations from the [Guide], or the IACUC suspension of any activity, the circumstances and actions taken must be reported promptly to OPRR [now OLAW] as required in section IV.F.3.a–c. of the PHS Policy. Reporting of such deficiencies should not be deferred for inclusion in the institutional annual report5."
Answers to the question of when to report will vary depending on the circumstances, but OLAW would like to hear from institutions as soon as possible after the acute crisis phase, and before the inevitable inquiries start coming in from other sources. One of those other sources may be the NIH director asking OLAW about how all those NIH-funded animals at (insert name of your institution) are doing. Animal rights activists may take such an opportunity to initiate complaints, as we saw immediately after Tropical Storm Allison. It is extremely important for us to be able to reassure ourselves and other interested parties that we know what is happening and that everything possible is being done to take care of the animals. The most common way for you to report promptly to OLAW is by telephone; however, fax, email, and other forms of communication all qualify as a "prompt report." Other reasons to call, aside from being a requirement, include the possibility that we can be of assistance; we may have access to resources or contacts that can help your institution deal with the problems.
As institutions begin to emerge from the acute crisis phase, there will undoubtedly be actions that take immediate priority because of the need to mitigate or prevent further losses. Such priorities include relocating animals, saving frozen tissues and samples, and recovering essential computer files and other records. Although this article does not attempt to elaborate on the disaster preparation phase, an institution's ability to minimize secondary losses will depend substantially on the effectiveness of that preparation. For example, accurate risk assessment and appropriate prevention strategies may keep animals and other critical assets out of harm's way for certain types of emergencies.
Next is the difficult task of rebuilding. At this stage, OLAW really does need to know more about the institution's "reasonable and specific plan and schedule1" to get back to a fully compliant state. PHS Policy does allow for certain deficiencies to exist at Assured institutions provided that they have been identified, along with credible correction plans. These plans are often negotiated with OLAW through the prompt and annual reporting processes and become an integral part of the institutional Assurance. Longer-term disaster recovery efforts may be viewed in the same context as correction of other more routine facility or program deficiencies. Though often on a different scale of importance, the semiannual facility inspection and program review process provides a good model for addressing the disaster recovery phase, which should include establishing specific target dates for correction and should monitor progress on an ongoing basis until completion.
Sometimes a recovery plan requires the development of interim plans. While some damaged facilities may not be suitable for their original design function, they may still be satisfactory to support a more limited role. For example, a damaged building HVAC system may not provide adequate ventilation for animal housing at full capacity, yet it may be acceptable for reduced population loads or lower levels of isolation or containment (OLAW 2009).[1]

Seattle Police take precautions at home after Boston bombing
In response to the still-developing tragedy with at least two dead and scores wounded when bombs were detonated at the Boston Marathon finish line today, Seattle Police issued the following statement with regards to increased security locally:
With Thoughts Towards Boston, Precautions at Home

Choosing to become a 'lost cause': the perverse effects of benefit preconditions
Farrell, Lisa & Frijters, Paul (2008) Choosing to become a 'lost cause': the perverse effects of benefit preconditions. Oxford Economic Papers, 60(1), pp. 1-19.
This paper argues that preconditions for welfare benefit entitlements based on labour market prospects can be counterproductive when they create an incentive for individuals to abstain from any investment earlier in life that could improve future prospects. Benefit entitlements based partly on investments made prior to labour market entry are then Pareto-improving.

Dallas Morning News classical critic Scott Cantrell gets mooney about the past when… Once upon a time, high art ruled. He hearkens back to a time when a mass audience embraced the likes of Copeland, Britten, and Shostakovich. Sad to say, Bernstein and Stokowski don't make the cut 'cause they're just conductors (poor devils though Lennie was known to pen a tune or two). As interesting as Cantrell's article is, he somehow forgets about the Three Tenors or Il Divo (which is fortunate in the later case). Even then, what he yearns for is a time when the general public could take classical figures seriously and embrace them. Of course, it's easy to blame the public for turning their backs on high culture but surely the ivory tower is a bit daunting to many of the great unwashed out there.
Maybe the real problem is that none of the great composers out there now (say Adams or Reich) write populist material and even more importantly, they're not great commuicators outside of their own works. Both propositions might seem beneath such artists but it also keeps the classical world walled off from the rest of culture. Much as he's loathed for spitting on anything post-bop, Wynton Marsalis has carried out this mission for jazz, keeping it in profile outside its usual realm but not selling out its past (though certainly overselling it).
Until you have larger-than-life characters who break out of the usual "dignified" mode and make an attempt to reach out to the larger culture, this is going to be an ongoing problem, not just for the artists themselves but also for the classical world. One indication of this is a seeming distaste by conductors to do fundraising, which in these troubling times for orchestras should be vital and second-nature. But it isn't as witnessed in this New York Sun article: The Conductor Crisis. If overpaid maestros can't bother to raise money to support their own paycheck, not to mention their orchestra, is it any wonder that many of them are feeling the financial crunch nowadays? And if it's beneath them to ask for donor money, surely they're not compelled to ask the greater public to meet them half-way. That's a shame because there's plenty of middle ground to be exploited as Lincoln Center and other institutions are finding ways to bridge the gap with rock and electronica audiences. Now they just need a great spokesman or spokeswoman to take up the mantle and become a public figure who makes the classical world look less daunting.

Hunters Share Blame With Anglers for Spreading Hydrilla
For years, anglers have been blamed for the illegal introduction of hydrilla, and much of that blame has been deserved.
Shortsighted fishermen certainly have spread the exotic plant, focusing only on its benefits as fish habitat and not the damage it does.
But others also are guilty of this practice, and, for years, they have done so without being held accountable.
"The issue of hunters moving hydrilla has not been on the radar much. Anglers have been getting all the blame," said Gene Gilliland, B.A.S.S. National Conservation Director. "
Finally, that's changed, as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has acknowledged that waterfowl hunters also are introducing the fast-growing, invasive plant.
During a stakeholder meeting for Kerr Reservoir (Buggs Island) last summer, Corps project manager Mike Womack specifically mentioned hunters, as well as anglers, as the culprits. Online research, he explained, revealed comments on hunting blogs about how hydrilla benefits waterfowl hunters.
"This view is shortsighted," Womack said, adding that hydrilla crowds out native plants, diminishes oxygen levels, and can carry diseases that are deadly to waterfowl and predatory birds that might eat them, including eagles.
For years, Bill Frazier, North Carolina conservation director, has suspected hunter involvement, as he noted infestations showing up in places far removed from ramps, where anglers most often introduce it. More recently, duck hunters at Kerr, who didn't know his identity, told him that they spread hydrilla into upstream locations. And he saw someone on a North Carolina hunting website ask about how to introduce the plant.
"At the annual meeting of weed managers for North Carolina, I confronted the state weed manager," Frazier said. "His comment was 'Now that you mentioned it, I wondered why I always found hydrilla around duck blinds.'"
Whether the offender is an angler or hunter, he can be arrested and prosecuted for spreading hydrilla in a Corps impoundment. Additionally, the agency offers a reward of up to $1,000 under its Corps Watch program for information about vandalism, larceny, arson, and environmental and cultural degradation.
"This includes the intentional spread of federally listed noxious weeds including hydrilla, unauthorized applications of pesticides, and unauthorized release of fish, including grass carp," the Corps said.

Congressman Conyers May Learn His Fate Today
Longtime Michigan Congressman John Conyers will learn two critical decisions today in his quest to be on the ballot this year despite problems the Wayne County Clerk's Office found with the petitions his campaign circulated.
Secretary of State Ruth Johnson will announce before noon her decision on Conyers' appeal of the clerk's office decision to disqualify him from the ballot.
Clerk's office staffers determined that Conyers only collected 600 valid signatures - 400 short of the 1,000 required.
Later in the day, a U.S. District judge is expected to rule on key aspects of the Detroit Democrat's lawsuit challenging the legality of Michigan law requiring petition circulators to be registered voters in Michigan.
The 85-year old Conyers is one of the longest-serving members of the U.S .Congress, first elected to the House 50 years ago in 1964. He represents Michigan's 13th district, including Detroit and several suburbs.

Hopefully this doesn't turn into a jump shoot type argument or mojo jerk string debate thts not why I'm posting this, my buddy brought it up at the bar tonight and were curious. I know the concept, I've heard it works, and he wants to try it for quick local hunts while birds are around before we hafta start driving at least an hr for every hunt. The number of birds around my area is awesome right now, well for this area considering the isn't any large bodies of open water in the immediate area. Everything's frozen though except the local creek with houses along it, as always its loaded with birds. I have permission to hunt just about every local field and farm pond but everything but the local creek frozen over so they just want to go there.
but what I'm getting to, we all know pa's long standing opinions on doing anything other than hunting over standard deeks in cut corn or on water with normal calls. Has anyone talked to wardens about plonds. I talked to my uncle, he's a warden and said he doesn't see why you couldn't he wouldnt consider it baiting, than again one wardens opinion on a law in this state can be the complete opposite of other wardens and half of them probably couldn't id a black duck from a mallard hen, theyr just worried about deer season.
I'm going to give the regional office a call next week if I get a chance but I figured maybe someone here has talked to someone and knows more than I. So if anyone knows anything let me know I have a beer riding on the legality of it in pa.

Vermaelen, who have played just 10 minutes in the Premier League this season, is ready to leave the Gunners if his World Cup chances are affected by a lack of playing time.
"I'll have to think about that when it's necessary. January is still a few months ahead. Of course, never playing will not be the ideal situation for me to go to the World Cup, that's for sure," Vermaelen told the Daily Mail.
"People ask me if I panic because I'm not playing a lot but I'm not.
"I have spoken to the manager but it will remain private between us. Things can happen in a split second and change my situation. That can happen tomorrow or next weekend.
"In that case, we will speak differently in January. I have to be ready for that."

911 Service Restored After Widespread Outages
Emergency 911 service was down in most of the state of Washington Thursday morning.
A spokeswoman for CenturyLink, Kerry Zimmer, said the problem began about 1:30 a.m. Thursday at Sheridan, Ore., and Oregon was affected for several hours. Service was completely restored around 8 a.m. in Washington state, according to CenturyLink.
CenturyLink provides the service statewide because the dispatch centers are all tied together.
Anna Pendergrass, head of the Clark Regional Emergency Services, said she was told that a network card in the system was faulty. When CenturyLink went to replace it, the system crashed.
She said there have been outages in the past but none this long. She said she would be asking state officials later Thursday why no backup system kicked into place.

Did you know?
Knit: knitting is an extremely versatile method which can create various structures and patterns. The resulting look can range from extremely fine to elegant, extravagant or even coarse and casual fabrics.
Alpaca: alpaca fleece comes from the South American alpaca which is shorn every two years. The fibre is fine, soft and slightly curly and is excellent for providing insulation.
Viscose: used to be known as 'artificial silk' because like silk it has superb drape, is soft to the skin and can be dyed in rich colours. A man-made fabric, it's made from wood pulp and blends easily. You will often find it blended with other fabrics to add softness, lustre or absorbency (it's highly absorbent and so cool to wear in the summer).
Wool: A natural fibre, wool is an insulator which means it is very warm to wear. It's resilient and elastic and so garments can stretch comfortably with you, then easily return to their natural shape. It's non-allergenic, so good for people with skin sensitivity, is flame retardant and even dirt and stain resistant. What's more, it's very biodegradable, so at the end of its life you can happily dispose of your garment knowing it won't have an environmental impact.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 29/1/2014 (1243 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Looking for a winter getaway? You might want to try Melita.
While most Westman residents have been kicked squarely in the midsection by Mother Nature this year, Melita has been basking in the glow of winter's warmth.
It's Manitoba's Mazatlán — well, somewhat — and the numbers don't lie.
In January the average low temperature in Brandon, Souris and Minnedosa was -25 C.
In Pilot Mound, it's colder still, -25.1 C.
Carberry, worse yet, -26 C.
Then there's Melita, sitting with a balmy, average-low temperature of -22.3 C through the first 28 days of January.
Camiel Serruys, who runs a restaurant in Melita, said there are no local legends or theories why they're warmer than other parts of Westman, except maybe one.
"It must be the people," Serruys said. "Our lovely, warm-hearted community."
Looking at 30 years of data, provided by Environment Canada, the warmer temperatures are more than a passing fad. It is important to note, however, the Melita weather station used to be located in Pierson, about 20 kilometres to the southwest.
On average, the Pierson/Melita area is one of the warmest spots in Manitoba, rivaled only by the southern Red River Valley in the Altona, Morden and Emerson areas.
On an annual basis, Melita is warmer than the Red River Valley when it comes to maximum temperatures. However, it is slightly more frigid than the same area when looking at the coldest temperatures.
But don't tell a Melitan that, unless you're prepared to face the wrath of Sunny, a nine-metre-tall banana sporting a large belt and buckle, a fashionable reminder that the community is the "Banana Belt" or warm spot in the province.
"We are the hot spot," Serruys said.
This year, Melita will celebrate its fifth annual Banana Days celebrations, which honours the mercury spike. At the heart of it all will be Sunny.
"There are still a few people that have a negative opinion about (Sunny), but I know that the event we host every year has grown so much and brings in thousands of people," said Serruys, who is president of the festival's board.
"Some people still say, 'Why choose a stupid cartoon character banana?' And that's the whole reason. The whole point is to attract people and that's definitely what's happened."
The tourist attraction's guest book backs up his claim. With families from across Canada, the United States and even China checking in to catch a glimpse of the larger than life statue, which also features a Blue Jay perched on one of it's arms and two large fluffy white gloves like Mickey Mouse.
"Little kids love it," said Tara Cameron-Tilokani, who also helps run Banana Days. "There are people from all over the world that have signed the guest book and when you're on your way to work and you see someone stop with their family to take to a picture — it's special."
And they stopped, which is a good thing.
Cameron-Tilokani surmised it might be Melita's location that leads to the warmer climate. Environment Canada meteorologist Dale Marciski said she might be on to something.
"They are situated in the extreme southern part of the province, so along with other areas like the Southern Red River Valley, they get influenced more frequently by warmer air masses moving up from the U.S.," Marciski said.
And it's not just southern air flow that affects the area.
"They are in the western part of the province, so in the winter, milder Pacific air masses will reach them more frequently and/or remain over them longer than areas farther to the east."

Randy Moore's thoughts
Some teams find a way to win. Mississippi State (6-0 overall, 3-0 SEC), for instance. Other teams find a way to lose. Tennessee (3-3, 0-3), for instance.
After surviving a horrendous start, the Vols whittled a 27-14 halftime deficit to 27-24 and had all of the momentum on their side. Then, as losing teams are wont to do, the Vols imploded. Safety Byron Moore dropped an interception that would've given Tennessee the ball near midfield. The Vols eventually got the ball with a chance to go ahead but had a three-and-out. Tennessee got another chance to pull ahead but Devrin Young fumbled at the Vol 30-yard line. Mississippi State scored three plays later to go up 34-24. Tennessee scored in five plays to pull within 34-31 with 5:22 left but this time it was the Vol defense that couldn't make a play, giving up a 75-yard drive that pushed the lead to 41-31 with just nine seconds left.
In spite of Young's fumble, Tennessee's offense played well enough to win. Except for MSU's final drive, the Vol defense played reasonably well in the second half. The first half, however, was about as bad as it gets. Cordarrelle Patterson's 98-yard kickoff return was a bright spot on special teams but Michael Palardy booted a kickoff out of bounds, Young muffed a punt (UT recovered), Matt Darr had a 14-yard punt and Tennessee was flagged twice for illegal formation on punts.
Offense: B-
Defense: D
Special Teams: C-
Chris Price's thoughts
Tennessee came out like a team on a short week and they were coming off a open date. The first half play, especially by the defense, was inexcusable. The Vols surrendered 450 total yards and gave up the majority shortly after kickoff.
The Vols offense sputtered much of the first half as well leaving the defense on the field much more than they could handle.
Michael Palardy kicked another kickoff out of bounds, which is inexcusable. He did hit a field goal from 38 yards, but the Vols managed two illegal formation penalties on punts, one on a 55-yard punt and another that netted eight yards.
Perhaps the only positive on the night was Cordarrelle Patterson who was a monster almost every time he touched the football. Enjoy him while you can Vol fans.
Offense: C+
Defense: D+
Special Teams: D
Josh Woodward's thoughts
Well it isn't easy to get to Starkville, Miss., from Knoxville, but we made the drive and it was just as hard to watch Tennessee. The Vols just can't get out of that SEC rut. The offense played well enough to win, but you can't give up 450 yards on defense and expect to win.
Offensively, the Big Orange can move the ball, Tyler Bray managed the game well, but with Rajion Neal going down with an injury as well as Marlin Lane, you can't win with Devrin Young as your lone back. Justin Hunter keeps getting taken out of games by teams doubling him, but he heard footsteps on a deep ball he should have caught.
Defensively they were awful, with the exception of A.J. Johnson whom accounted for 25 percent of the tackles. Mississippi State had 80 offensive plays and AJ had 21 tackles. That boy needs some help on defense. He can't do it all.
Special Teams is Jeckyl and Hyde, one minute you are like, damn, with the Cordarrelle Patterson touchdown run, then Palardy kicks it out of bounds on the kickoff. Matt Darr had a 13 yard punt, then you bring in Palardy and he boots one 54 yards. I just don't understand the inconsistency.
Offense: B
Defense: F
Special Teams: C
Danny Parker's thoughts
Going to go ahead and tell you, I'm in one atrocious mood. Cowbells, wrinkly dogs, poor media conditions, long trip, ignorant people, etc. If you're looking for a bright light at the end of the tunnel, scroll to the next staff member.
Tennessee absolutely had to have this game. Our staff has pointed at this one for some time and taking down Mississippi State took on even greater importance after losing to both Florida and Georgia. I don't care about streaks, goose eggs or rankings. At some point, the Volunteers have to step up and start beating people.
If this team can put together four straight solid, consistent quarters, it will be just fine. The problem is, no one has an answer on how to do that.
Newcomers Alton Howard and Cordarrelle Patterson gave the running game a lift, and Tennessee netted over 6 yards a carry. As I tweeted during the contest, when the Vols set up their offense with the run, they are formidable. When the inverse takes place, the team self destructs. I say run it and keep running it until you have to throw it.
The second-quarter performance by the defense drops it a pair of letters in my book. The secondary rebounded in a major way for much of the second half, but the last offensive play for the Bulldogs made a bad evening even worse. Simple draw plays gashed the Big Orange throughout the rowdy night. Allowing 450 yards of total offense to anyone is unacceptable.
Patterson's kickoff return for a touchdowns breathed life into the Tennessee bench. With the team reeling, the return unit completely botched a pooch kick to give State the football right back in prime real estate just seconds after toggling the scoreboard. Michael Palardy had one of his best games (definitely behind Tuscaloosa 2011) with a field goal and four extra points.
Offense: B-
Defense: D+

Hi guys,
My current PC: Core 2 Q6600 @ 3.0Ghz, HIS HD4850 512MB fully stock GPU, HP ZR24W monitor + 37" Samsung LCD TV, 450W Thermaltake TR2 QFan PSU with only one 6-pin connector ( http://www.anandtech.com/show/2670 ), Gigabyte MB with P41T chipset.
There are some deals for AMD cards at the moment, and I was thinking of getting a HD7850 2GB. The model I would like to get is a Sapphire Radeon HD7850 Dual-X 2GB (11200-07-20G) because it has the output connections I want (DVI-D, DVI-VGA, HDMI, full size Display Port), and it fits inside my case. But after reading user reviews and searching the net for problems I might face, it seems that many people are complaining about some issues, most worrying beeing flicker when running on a DVI-VGA analogue connection (flicker may not be the best way to describe it, but my english is not that good and I can't think of a better word right now...) and black screens / computer freeze after some time running games. I really need the VGA connection to work properly for my Samsung TV (on my TV, VGA simply works better than HDMI - lower input lag, better image quality, better settings available when in VGA/PC mode, and the panel doesn't turn off when showing a full black image like it does when connected through HDMI, which is VERY annoying considering it's a CCFL LCD panel and I can't turn this "feature" off). My current HD4850 doesn't have any issues when I use a DVI to VGA adapter.
Also, from what I was able to find out, the HD7850 needs 2 x 6-pin power connections, my PSU only has one available and I would have to use an extra molex to 6pin adapter.
My questions:
- Do you guys think my PSU can handle a HD7850 and a Q6600 @ 3.0GHz?
- Is anyone with a HD7850 using a DVI-VGA analogue connection and has no issues with it? Could the problem some users are experiencing be due to poor cables or some misconfiguration?

Soccer Cookies
These are cookies for my daughters soccer team. All the girls have pink balls and their name is the Roses and uniforms are red. It was my first attempt at a soccer cookie so I think they turned out pretty good. Was definitely a learning process and feel I will do better next time. Thanks to Jen Whitlock for the inspiration.
