"I'm pretty satisfied about the way I play. I went forward, I went to the net, I came in, and that's what I wanted to do." Tennis is simple once you've mastered the basics - just ask Amelie Mauresmo.
"She makes you play. She puts the ball back in many times." Chapter two from the Mauresmo guide to good tennis - "What to expect from your opponent".
"My coach told me I had to expect, you know, some long rallies and stuff. So, you know, I was ready for this."An insight into the technical nature of the sport - Mauresmo again.
"I was happier today with my game than during my last match, because I made less unforced errors." Svetlana Kuznetsova clearly subscribes to a similar school of thought as Mauresmo.
"I think she's all right. She's a bit different, like each of us, we are all different." Kuznetsova isn't exactly warming to fellow Russian Maria Sharapova ahead of their quarter-final clash.

"You've got to remember, there's A$100 to inner-city tennis in Australia for every ace - I'm a team player, that's all I'm saying. I won't undermine his efforts and say I let a lot of them go by.

"He's not as good as he was when he was at the top of the rankings, otherwise he would be there. I think he has to raise his game, not me." Roger Federer clearly isn't that impressed with the efforts of Agassi, his next opponent.
"I'm really excited and looking forward to the challenge and opportunity of playing Roger. I mean, somebody has to beat him sooner or later, right? I hope it's Tuesday night."
An upbeat Agassi refuses to be intimidated by the world number one.
"I had so many chances to break him and I couldn't and I was a little bit upset at that."

Eating Animals: Jonathan Safran Foer
3 Recommendations
kryz's recommendation
Just saw JSF speak about this book, and while I was genuinely worried that my beloved favorite writer had become an environmentalist overnight and given up his genius literary ways, that is not the case. The book actually takes a very interesting perspective- it's a conversation, rather than an argument, using brilliant, heart-wrenching anecdotes from JSF's grandmother's life that many are familiar with from his most famous book Everything Is Illuminated...and I have to say, well done. JSF definitely did his research.
fatpinkchicken's recommendation
Read the book that turned Natalie Portman from a vegetarian into a vegan teen activist.
My Collections:
arcticwarbler's recommendation
A good read for omnivores curious about the origins of food,..(with humor.) A good gift for someone that is not already vegan. "Eating Animals explores the many fictions we use to justify our eating habits-from folklore to pop culture to family traditions and national myth-and how such tales can lull us into a brutal forgetting. Marked by Foer's profound moral ferocity and unvarying generosity, as well as the vibrant style and creativity that made his previous books, Everything is Illuminated and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, widely loved, Eating Animals is a celebration and a reckoning, a story about the stories we've told-and the stories we now need to tell.

Judge sends Langley mayor to jail for 15 days SWR code
BY JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter Langley Mayor Larry Kwarsick will have to spend more than two weeks in jail and will likely resign from office after pleading guilty to a gross misdemeanor charge for falsifying a city record. Island County Superior Court Judge Vickie Churchill shocked many in the courtroom Monday by sentencing Kwarsick to 15 days in jail after both the prosecutor and defense recommended that he serve no jail time. In fact, several of Kwarsick's supporters were noticeably outraged. Churchill scolded Kwarsick for breaking the public trust after a 40-year career as a public servant. In addition to being a popular mayor, Kwarsick is currently the planning director in Coupeville and previously worked as the planning director in Langley and Island County. "What you did was to betray that public confidence," Churchill said. "I'm sorry, I don't think anyone who does that should remain in office." Kwarsick pleaded guilty to one count of false report of a public official for falsifying a document when he was Langley's contracted community planning director in 2011. He admitted to backdating a document related to his stepdaughter's home construction project to make it look like his predecessor

Langley Mayor Larry Kwarsick listens as City Councilman Jim Sundberg, right, stands and asks the judge for a lighter sentence. Sitting behind Kwarsick just over his right shoulder is Councilwoman Rene Neff. Kwarsick will spend 15 days in jail in February.

Santa brings joy to folks of all ages BY MICHAELA MARX WHEATLEY Staff reporter
Michaela Marx Wheatley / The Record
Maple Ridge resident Anne Gnozzo and Penelope Bruder, with mom Erica, frame Santa during his visit to Maple Ridge Monday. Santa has been spending this week with South Whidbey Fire/EMS, visiting all areas of South Whidbey.
A visit by Santa Claus at Maple Ridge in Freeland proved Monday that people are never too old to get caught up in the magic of the season. There was 100-year-old Eileen Wilson waiting in anticipation for the man in red to arrive, side-by-side with first-timer Penelope Bruder, the 10-month old daughter of a Maple Ridge employee. "We're waiting for Santa," Wilson said. "It's fun at any age."
Santa arrived on his brightly lit sleigh just after dinner at the retirement and assisted living community, accompanied by a court of young elves and firefighters. Baby Penelope looked on somewhat suspicious of the visitor, yet bravely waved hello to Santa when he approached her. Wilson said she remembers the first time she encountered Santa. "It was back home in Davenport, Iowa. You don't forget something like that. I remember seeing Santa. It was something," she said. Santa greeted about 20 residents that gathered in
the lobby and earned chuckles when he asked one of the residents if she had been a good girl all year. She assured him she had been. Following the visit the residents sang some Christmas songs before they continued their evening. "It's wonderful. You never get too old for that," said Florence Corapine, another Maple Ridge resident. Maple Ridge employee Erica Bruder said that events like this make her work special and bring so much joy to residents and employees. South Whidbey Fire and EMS has been guiding Santa's sleigh for pre-Christ-
mas visits through South Whidbey neighborhoods since 1995. All of the elves, the organizers, drivers, those scheduling the route and Santa himself are volunteers. "The department does this as a gift to our local community," said Sherrye Wyatt, spokeswoman for the department. "It's fun to see how excited everyone gets when Santa arrives, not only young children but the adults too." Santa will continue his tour of South Whidbey through Friday. See the calendar on page 12 for other stops he'll be making.

Submitted to: Journal of Parasitology
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 11/30/1997
Publication Date: N/A
Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: The biodiversity of marine parasites capable of infecting humans is still not well defined. Gnathostomatid nematodes have the potential to infect humans when raw or undercooked mollusks are consmed, as larvae of some species of the genus Echinocephalus are parasites of oysters and abalone. In this study we describe a previously unknown species of Echinocephalus. The nematode, E. janzeni, is a parasite in marine stingrays from Central America. Basic information on the comparative morphology and geographic distribution of the parasite are outlined. These are critical in providing information on the identification and diagnostics for species of Echinocephalus.
Technical Abstract: Echinocephalus janzeni sp n. in the stringray, Himantura pacifica, is described from the eastern Pacific Ocean off the coasts of Costa Rica and southern Mexico. Based on the presence of 6 postanal caudal papillae, and modified annules anterior to the caudal alae in males, E. janzeni is most similar to E. daileyi and E. diazi. Specimens of E. janzeni are distinguished from those of E. daileyi by bilobed caudal alae and long cervical sacs which extend up to 65% of the length of the esophagus; E. janzeni is differentiated from E. diazi by the number of rows of cephalic spines (30-38 versus 26-27), arrangement of the postanal caudal papillae, 3 rather than 2 preanal papillae, relative position and distance between the anus and vulva (395-460) #m). Cladistic analysis of the 10 Echinocephalus spp. places E. janzeni in a highly derived sub-clade where E. daileyi is the sister species of E. diazi + E. janzeni. Historical biogeographic analysis for hosts and parasites provides support for origins in the Pacific rather than the Atlantic for the potamotrygonid stringrays.

Egg nutrition research reveals positive impact on metabolic syndrome and satietyApril 25, 2012
This week at Experimental Biology (EB) 2012 in San Diego, experts are convening to discuss the latest science in a variety of health and disease-related areas, including nutrition. Research on whole egg consumption in individuals with metabolic syndrome as well as the positive effects of a higher-protein breakfast is further revealing the potential benefits of including eggs in the diet.
Whole Egg Consumption May Improve Markers of Metabolic Syndrome
A University of Connecticut study presented this week suggests that eating eggs may actually have favorable effects on HDL metabolism in men and women with metabolic syndrome.(i) Participants in the study followed a carbohydrate-restricted diet with some individuals eating three whole eggs per day and others eating an equivalent amount of egg substitute. After 12 weeks, the group eating whole eggs experienced an improvement in HDL measures showing significantly greater increases in the number and size of HDL particles. HDL or "good" cholesterol scavenges for fat throughout the bloodstream and returns it to the liver, making it less likely that fatty deposits will build up in the blood vessels and lead to atherosclerosis.
Related findings were also presented in separate sessions that suggest that consuming whole eggs as part of a carbohydrate-restricted diet may help to further improve markers indicative of inflammation, such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha, in individuals with metabolic syndrome.(ii)
Higher-Protein Breakfast Reduces High-Fat Snacking
A study by researchers at the University of Missouri found that teen girls reported greater feelings of satiety and experienced improved hormone responses related to hunger and satiety after consuming a higher-protein breakfast, containing about 35 grams of protein from egg or beef-based foods. Teen girls who consumed a high-protein breakfast also ate fewer snacks, especially those higher in fat, later in the day.(iii) These findings build on past research showing the benefits of high-quality protein on satiety, further supporting the science behind what makes eggs such a satisfying breakfast choice.(iv)
Clarifying Cholesterol Confusion
Many Americans avoid the dietary cholesterol found in eggs for fear of raising their risk of heart disease, but more than 40 years of research has shown that healthy adults can enjoy eggs without concern for increasing their risk for heart disease. Additionally, an analysis from the United States Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service showed that eggs have 14 percent less cholesterol (down from 215 mg to 185 mg) than previously measured.(v) Established research also has shown that saturated fat intake may be more likely to raise a person's blood cholesterol than dietary cholesterol intake and eggs contain relatively little saturated fat.(vi) The findings presented at this week's meeting in combination with the decades of science demonstrating the health benefits of eating eggs further support the role of eggs in a nutritious diet.

3/12 pitch roof leak
I recently had my shingles replaced with similar asphalt shingles. Since that I am having leaks at the valleys especially. I contacted the contractor and he said he installed the ice guard 4 ft up from the roof edge. Prior to replacement I had no or very little leaks. Is there a solution to my problem? I have read about the rubber membrane but not sure that will solve this problem.
I always have fear installing shingles on a low pitch like yours.When installing on a low pitch as yours I ALWAYS spend the extra money and put Ice and water on the entire roof.I have never had a call back utilizing this practice.Also depending on the manufacture restrictions for 3/12 application I lower the exposure.Exposure being the amount of the shingle exposed.For 3 tabs exposure being 5" I will lower to 4".For arch's exposure being 5-5/8" I lower to 4-5/8".Since your roof is already installed and a complete reroof is not realistic then a proper repair is now the issue.If its not leaking everywhere but the valleys then this is my remedy.Florida requires a technique for high velocity winds that I feel in your case would prove successful.1st)Remove the valley and install Ice/Water.2nd)Apply 1 coat of fibrated asphalt roofing cement.3rd)Install a 90lb Awa plan.4th)Seal each individual shingle to the valley.It maybe extreme to some but your problem lies with pooling and back up due to such a low slope in the valleys.
Sounds like an installation issue with your shingles.
Don't keep focusing on ice/water shield as that is not your problem nor your solution.
Millions of roofs like yours have been installed without any issues long before ice/water was invented. It's not a magic bullet but rather an excuse for lazy roofing. Your contractor should be focusing on why his ROOF is leaking, not why his underlayment is.
The leak could be coming from a penetration through the roof like a gas flue or vent stack.
True these are installed daily without problems.It does sound like the roofer is relying on the materials versus common logic and experience with roofing.:)

Monday, TV5's Caitlin Burchill introduced us to Amy Blackstone, a sociology professor at UMaine who is a leading childfree scholar. (To watch: "Baby? Maybe?" Part 1)
She explained whether you have no kids or have lots of kids, there is still a stigma attached.
For part 2, Amy Blackstone and another Amy, Amy Howard, let Burchill into their very different households.
"So I think one surprise for people is to realize that the childfree don't hate kids. I had a great time babysitting. I was a nanny in college," said Amy Blackstone.
Amy and Lance Blackstone live a childfree lifestyle.
When they tell people…
"It's kind of a conversation killer and from my perspective it's kind of weird because I don't want kids, I'm happy not having kids, I'm happy if you have kids, if you want kids," said her husband, Lance Blackstone.
"I just enjoy my life without them and I'm fine with the decision not to have them," said Amy Blackstone.
Without lots of mouths to feed, Lance quit his job last year.
"I'd assume there's less stress because I don't have kids, so I don't really know. But I would imagine there's a lot less stress," he said.
Now, one of his focuses is on the couple's blog, We're {Not} Having A Baby.
"We're fortunate that we have families that are supportive of our choice, but we wanted to be a part of the positive part of that community and help spark discussion within the community and with parents as well about the reality that having a child is a choice and it's an important choice," said Amy Blackstone.
One of the most popular sections, "Lance's Rants."
"Nobody apparently chooses to have children. They just have children. It's an active choice to choose not to have children which seems really, really weird to me," he said.
They have interviewed famous comedians and others who have made the same decision.
"Having discussions about choosing whether or not to have kids, I think it's very important and making that a conscious choice either to have them or to not have them is important. Every kid deserves to be wanted," said Amy Blackstone.
Life is quite different at another Amy's home in Old Town.
"(We got married) and then our first one came and then 16 months later the second one came, and 11 months later the third one came," said Justin Howard.
Justin and Amy Howard have 5 kids.
While Amy says it was hard enough for her to go from a professional world to being a mom, she now faces another stigma: she's a mother of a lot of kids.
"I spend a lot of time thinking about what do you respond to people who ask if you want to be like the Duggers because that's easier than kind of punching somebody," said Amy Howard laughing.
The couple is constantly questioned about contraception, their IQ, their environmental responsibility, but they wouldn't have it any other way.
Living for someone outside of themselves serves as a foundation for why they have so many kids.
Justin is an Anglican priest in Orono. Amy is also a pastor at the church.
"A God who creates has fashioned us to create as well, so we bring forth life as well and we've really embraced that,' said Justin Howard.
"It doesn't mean you have as many kids as you can possibly have or that everybody has to, but that we're open to life," said Amy Howard.
And while things are generally a bit quieter at the Blackstone's….
"I mean the assumption was the family is the couple that has kids," said Amy Blackstone.
"You're at a family," said Caitlin Burchill.
"We are a family," said Amy Blackstone.
Proving families come in all shapes and sizes.
To check out Amy and Lance Blackstone's blog, visit their website.
They also have a group for child free families in the Bangor area. It's a place to talk about their experiences. The group is a closed Facebook page, we're {not} having a baby-Central Maine.
As for Amy and Justin Howard, they hope to welcome more kids into their family in the near future.

WAAS Filesystem_size_mismatch alarm
We have 5 waas appliances including the CM (4 wae-512, 1 wae-674.) Starting with the CM, I upgraded all devices to SW version 4.3.1. After the upgrade and the devices came back online, one of the wae-512s reports an alarm "filesystem_size_mismatch, one or more filesystems have got invalid size."
The alarm book codes indicate possible causes as recent memory change or wrong manufacturing procedure. No hardware changes have happened on any of the devices so I'm curious if anyone else has run into this message or what may be causing it?
I tried reloading the SW image once more (No effect) and the show hardware statement from the command line seems to indicate all hardware is ok. Device seems to be functioning other than the alarm that keeps showing up. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Cool. Please mark this as Answered as this addresses your issue.

ST. JOHN'S — Canada's doctors are condemning the Harper government for its "shameful" decision to block listing asbestos as a hazardous product.
Delegates to the Canadian Medical Association's general assembly voted nearly unanimously — 99 per cent — in support of a motion Wednesday opposing the federal government for contesting the international designation of chrysotile asbestos as a hazardous substance.
"This is an important health care issue and a product that causes significant illness — even death," Dr. Jeff Turnbull, outgoing president of the CMA, told reporters. "Canada should not be in the business of exporting such a dangerous product."
In June Canada told the world it opposes placing limits on the export of asbestos. The head of the Canadian delegation at a United Nations summit in Geneva made the statement after a consensus was emerging to label the known carcinogen mined in Quebec as hazardous.
Consensus among countries is needed to list the substance as a hazardous material under the United Nations' Rotterdam Convention.
"The time for the CMA is now to go beyond calling on the federal government and begging it to take action, as it clearly has no intention of doing so," said Dr. Barry Turchen of Abbotsford, B.C.
The motion "sends a strong message to the federal government that their unethical and shameful behaviour will not be tolerated by the physicians of Canada," Turchen said, to applause.
Sarnia, Ont.'s asbestos legacy is still being felt, one doctor told the assembled delegates.
"Sarnia, Ont. is considered the mesothelioma capital of Canada — we are still seeing the effects of asbestos," said Dr. Deborah Hillier, an occupational physician.
Mesothelioma is a rare cancer of the lining of the chest or abdominal cavity.
"We are sending our asbestos to Third World countries where it is not used appropriately", exposing workers in those countries to risks, Hillier said. Meanwhile, products made with asbestos are coming back into Canada, she said.
"The government is actually paying for another mine in Quebec to be opened, and it's unconscionable that we're allowing this to happen," Hillier said "It's a cancer producing agent, its effects occur over a period of 20 to 30 years and we have not seen the peak yet from mesothelioma."
The doctors' group ended four days of meetings with a passionate reaffirmation from Turnbull that Canada's "parliament of medicine" is committed to a publicly-funded system — after an advisory panel lobbed the politically charged issue of funding options back into the public-versus-private health-care divide.
The panel made 10 recommendations, but it was its first — that the CMA be open to discussing a range of ways of funding services, including user fees, franchises and other measures — that provoked the most debate.
"No. 1, this was an advisory panel report to the CMA and not CMA policy," Turnbull said.
"Number two the CMA policy is that we support the Canada Health Act and its principles, we support the concept that no Canadian should be denied access to care based on their ability to pay and we support a strong, publicly-funded health care system."
Most importantly, Turnbull said, "it is CMA policy that we do not support user fees."
Some delegates criticized the media's coverage of the controversial report, while others criticized the report's "unacceptable lax and open language." Still others said doctors need to "bravely" explore all funding options.
In his inaugural address, incoming president Dr. John Haggie, a rural surgeon from Gander, N.L., said Canadians are growing increasingly concerned that they won't be able to get the care they need, when they need it.
Haggie said the fast-approaching end of the 2004 federal-provincial health accord — due to expire in 2014 — "cries out" for a first ministers conference.
He said Canadians need to decide what they need, and what they want in their heath care system.
"That seamless access from cradle to grave, with no great big pitfalls in the middle is crucial," Haggie told reporters.
"But it can't be all things to everybody all the time," he said. "At some point, (Canadians) may want to decide on what things they value so much that cannot possibly be left out" of a publicly-funded, publicly-run system, he said — and what can.

542-MGE-ES Antique Brass Finish Mission Style Gas & Electric Combination Wall Sconce
542-ES-NP Nickel Plated Mission Style Gas & Electric Combination Wall Sconce
542-ES-OB Oil Rubbed Bronze Finish Mission Style Gas & Electric Combination Wall Sconce
Charming, simple fixture in the Mission or Stickley style. Transitional lighting was produced over 20 years, as the new-fangled electricity wasn't always reliable - or trusted. Homeowners kept their gas light (shade facing up, 4" fitter size), as well as adding electric light, which could face down.
This would be an ideal fixture for plenty of light in a modern bathroom or hallway. Now offered in a nickel plated finish, to resemble chrome, to match your bathroom or kitchen faucets.
Shades are sold separately. You may of course match the shades. We show our frosted white mission shade 082G as the gas shade, although we have 27 4" fitter glass shades from which to choose in this size. For a true Mission effect, we chose to picture our leaded art glass shade 093G. We offer other styles of glass electric shades in the 2 ¼" fitter size, and there are plenty to choose from.
If you'd like to add an on/off switch to the mounting canopy, we offer custom installation of the switch for only $25.00. Please click the "Yes" option in the "Add Switch?" menu to add the switch to your cart.
We offer a wide range of Mission style lighting, from table lamps to ceiling fixtures. Any Mission style fixture can match this sconce by using the 093G shade on all, or our 082G white Mission shade.

Green Bay Continues Strong Showing at Horizon League Championships
By: Ryan Hartwig (@GBHartwig)
CLEVELAND (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Three more school records went down and junior Ryan Korslin (Rudolph, Wis.) won an individual championship on Friday as the Green Bay men's and women's swimming and diving teams wrapped up day three of the 2014 Horizon League Championships at the Busbey Natatorium.
The Phoenix women are in third place in the eight-team field, while the men's squad is fifth with one day remaining in the meet.
Korslin continued his impressive week at the conference championships by successfully defending his title in the 100-yard breaststroke while securing his third school record in as many days. Korslin broke his own Phoenix standard twice on Friday, first registering the fastest preliminary time (53.71) before winning the finals with a blistering 53.52 – which was also a new Busbey Natatorium record. Korslin was also part of Green Bay's record-breaking 200 and 400 medley relays on the first two days of competition.
Sophomore Willem Poelmans (Hasselt, Belgium) also earned his third school record of the meet on Friday, racing to a runner-up finish in the 400 IM. The 2013 champion touched in at 3:52.35, edging his previous mark of 3:52.85, set last season. Poelmans had a pair of record-breaking performances on Thursday in the 200 IM and 400 medley relay.
Sophomore diver Tanner Nordlund (Rice, Minn.) had an outstanding day on the boards for the Phoenix men, finishing fourth in the 1-meter competition. Nordlund's score of 315.95 represented a career best and an NCAA Zone cut, and put him just 13 points behind first-place Danny Roberts of Cleveland State (333.20). The score was also the third-highest total on the 1-meter in Phoenix history.
On the women's side, Green Bay's 800 freestyle relay team of Racheal Weiland (Wisconsin Rapids, Wis.), Claire Walters (Northfield, Minn.), Anna Gomez (Burlington, Wis.) and Natalie Neuwirth (Stevens Point, Wis.) earned a second-place finish while setting a new school record of their own. The quartet finished in 7:25.67, beating the old mark of 7:27.18 from 2012 (Walker, Rottier, Bodin, Wolf).
The Green Bay women were a model of consistency in the 200 freestyle, as all three Phoenix finalists registered identical times and tied for fourth place. Parker Wolf (Kohler, Wis.), Weiland and Walters each finished in 1:51.54, earning 14 points apiece.
Neuwirth also had a fourth-place showing in the 400 IM, finishing with a time of 4:26.50. Senior Kendra Rottier (Green Bay, Wis.) was seventh in the race in 4:30.07.
Freshmen Janna Check (Stevens Point, Wis.) and Haley Lucas (Menomonee Falls, Wis.) were also finalists for the Phoenix women on Friday, finishing seventh and eighth, respectively, in the 100 butterfly. Emily Gomez (Burlington, Wis.) was seventh in the 100 backstroke, touching in at 57.48.
Other top-eight finishers on the men's side were Connor Huff (Dubuque, Iowa) in the 400 IM (sixth, 3:58.34), Cole Hackney (Highlands Ranch, Colo.) in the 100 butterfly (sixth, 49.25), Colin Morgan (McFarland, Wis.) in the 100 breast (sixth, 56.29) and Evan Hill (Jefferson, Wis.) in the 100 backstroke (eighth, 51. 61).
Green Bay is back in action on Saturday for the fourth and final day of competition with prelims beginning at 9 a.m. CT and finals starting at 4:30 p.m. CT. Visit the Horizon League Championship Central Page for a complete schedule and live video links.

Feel the need for digital music in your car? Having a heck of a time hooking up your iPod to do the trick? Well then, check out the Sony Xplod MEX-1GP CD receiver. Not only does the name roll off the tongue, but this unit does a neat trick. You can remove the faceplate, hook it up to your PC with a USB cable and download your music right onto it because your computer will recognize it as an external drive. The Giga Panel Drive-S has 1GB of storage, so you will have more than enough tunes to head to the store and back, even if you hit traffic.
Of course, this CD player also plays CDs, as well as CD-R/RW discs with regular or compressed files burned onto them. Shockingly, it very happily plays any content purchased online from the Sony CONNECT site to. It has a built-in 208-watt power amplifier and a three-band equalizer, so hearing it shouldn't be a problem.
The LCD screen promises to make it easy to manage your playlist and it will display all the vital info for the downloaded music it's playing. It even has a wireless remote like so many car stereos do now, because sometimes the dashboard is just too far away.
This unit is expected to ship in February and will cost you about US $350.

CHAPEL HILL --- North Carolina lost its first home wrestling match of 2014 Saturday as the Tar Heels fell to No. 24 Stanford, 28-12, at Carmichael Arena. Evan Henderson, Christian Barber and Alex Utley were victorious for the hosts, who will welcome Maryland next Friday, Jan. 24.
Stanford (11-4) opened the dual with an overtime win at 125 as No. 13 Evan Silver rallied from a 6-3 deficit to knock off No. 16 Nathan Kraisser. Silver got a takedown late in the third period to force overtime and then scored another in the first overtime period to win, 8-6.
No. 10 Ryan Mango made it 6-0 Stanford with an 8-3 win over Troy Heilmann at 133. The redshirt senior was in command early and, despite some strong wrestling from Heilmann late in the bout, took the decision.
Henderson improved to 25-3 with his fastest pin of 2013-14 when he topped Peter Russo 55 seconds into their match at 141. The New Florence, Pa., junior now has 12 pins this season and is 10-1 in duals.
Barber gave Carolina its only lead of the night with a gritty win over Donovan Halpin at 149. The redshirt sophomore from Westfield, N.J., scored three points in a dominant second period and held on to win, 4-1, and give the Tar Heels a 9-6 lead in the dual.
Stanford quickly regained the lead at 157, however, as Bret Baumbach banked 5:26 of riding time en route to an 8-0 major decision over Jake Crawford. No. 19 Jim Wilson extended the Cardinal lead with a 2-1 win over John Michael Staudenmayer at 165. The bout was tied after the sudden victory overtime period and Wilson's escape gave him a 2-1 win.
Kyle Meyer rebounded from an injury timeout to knock off Scott Marmoll at 174. Marmoll led 3-2 after two periods, but Meyer got a reversal and a near fall late to post a 7-3 victory.
Utley scored his 16th win of the season at 184 with a 5-2 decision over Zach Nevills. The Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, junior led 2-1 after two and sealed it with a late takedown to pull the Tar Heels within four at 16-12.
But the Cardinal posted a pair of falls in the final two bouts of the night to clinch the dual. No. 20 Dan Scherer pinned Frank Abbondanza in the third period at 197 and Josh Marchok got the fall against Bob Coe at 285.
Carolina is now 5-6 on the year heading into next weekend's ACC dual against Maryland.

Dec. 27, 2013
- • Tar Heels are now 9-3 overall and 6-2 at home this year
- • Tonight's win is Carolina's 2,099th. The next win will make UNC the third school with at least 2,100 wins (Kentucky and Kansas).
- • Sophomore guard Marcus Paige had a game-high and career-best nine rebounds. It was the second time in his career that he led UNC in rebounding.
- • Paige hit three three-pointers and finished with 11 points. He is the only Tar Heel to score in double figures in each of the first 12 games.
- • Carolina blocked 15 shots, tying the second-highest figure in UNC history. It is the most since blocking 15 at Duke on March 8, 2008.
- • Brice Johnson (3) and Isaiah Hicks (3) both had career highs in blocks. Seven different Tar Heels blocked shots.
- • Leslie McDonald made three three-pointers, all in the first half. He has eight in his first three games this season. UNC players other than Marcus Paige had combined to make four three-pointers in the first nine games that McDonald sat out.
- • Carolina forced a season-low eight turnovers (previous low by opponents was 12 by UAB and Texas) and scored just three points off those miscues.
- • The Tar Heels shot 50 percent from the floor in the second half. That is the eighth time in 12 games this season that UNC shot 50 percent or better in the second half. And it was the seventh time UNC shot 50 percent or better in the second half after shooting less than 50 percent from the floor in the opening half.

For everything Microsoft does to frustrate me, I have to give the company credit that occasionally it does something smart. Microsoft 'Fix it' is under the later category and reading the press release was a real "why hasn't this been done before?" moment.
The premise is simple: Microsoft will be adding the Fix it button pictured above to various knowledge board articles, enabling users to download an executable file in order to solve common problems. I can't imagine I'm alone in considering that a real stroke of genius.
As well as appearing on Microsoft's website, these Fix it download will even show up in Windows Error Reporting solution pop-ups, which any Vista user should be familiar with by now. Seeing "click here to fix your problem" rather than "this problem is caused by Windows, please contact Microsoft to see if there is a solution" - with no clue as to the problem itself - will almost certainly result in a noticeable drop in the average blood pressure of Windows users globally.
Better still, users can submit requests for problems they wish to see 'Fix it' solutions for, if there isn't one already. Hopefully given enough time I'll never have to dive into the bloody registry ever again to, for example, make so simple a change as having Windows remember my customised folder views!
Before anyone asks: no, there is not a quick fix for "Windows Vista" which makes the OS good. I refuse to entertain such archaic jokes.

With this week's second inauguration of President Obama, and the announcement of the new Organizing for Action nonprofit, the world has seen first-hand that the future of advocacy is data, data, and data. As the President begins his second term, we're likely to see the debate over important social issues of our time become even more competitive than before. Now is the time for organizations to gear up for the next wave of advocacy.
Earlier today, we covered how the Obama campaign successfully utilized it's strong database tools to run important A/B communication testing to determine message effectiveness. While it's going to be rare for an advocacy group to have the war chest of funds that the presidential campaigns had this year, there's a powerful database tool that we believe is about to see a significant uptick in the advocacy world in 2013: Salesforce.com.
The question: how can your advocacy group get started using Salesforce, and even the open source Nonprofit Starter Pack (NPSP), to build a successful campaign database and platform?
Here's three ideas you can implement right away to start using Salesforce for your advocacy work.
Every organization needs the lifeblood of financial funding running through it to keep up operations. Using Salesforce and the NPSP is an easy first step for organizations to manage their fundraising efforts. With the ability to track payments, both as credit card and checks, advocacy groups to can ensure they have an audit trail for all their incoming funds.
Using the Campaigns object in Salesforce, and maybe with the help of a few custom fields. an organization can create a petition tracking system. Pairing your Salesforce org with a form building tool (we prefer our Soapbox Engage service!), you can start collecting message of support from your constituents. If you have the right Web tools, you can even display the signatures of your petition campaign on your website, without needing to buy the contacts information of your supporters from a third party. Finally, simply build a report that enables you easily send the petitioners' contact information to their intended targets.
May 2014 update: In November 2013, we released Soapbox Petitions, a powerful, mobile-friendly online petitions tool integrating with Salesforce.
E-mail Alerts
Out of the box, Salesforce doesn't make it easy to send mass email, which can definitely put a crimp in the style of any online organizer's outbound communication campaign. So, as a first step, you'll want to find the right mass marketing service to integrate with or work natively within Salesforce. I've covered the topic of choosing the right mass email tool for Salesforce on the Salesforce Foundation's blog last week, so you'll have plenty of direction to get you started there. If you're looking for a tool that's native to Salesforce, we'd definitely recommend checking out our Soapbox Mailer service, which is both easy to use and affordable for even the smallest budgets.
This is just the tip of the iceberg of how advocacy groups can use Salesforce. In 2013, we at PICnet are excited to roll out new advocacy features within our Soapbox Engage service, and we're always interested in hearing how others would like to use Salesforce to meet their advocacy needs. What are some of the functionalities you see missing in Salesforce that could make it better for your advocacy group?

He takes time to provide more than quality clothing - he gets to know you. He wants to understand your needs and passions. Before I discovered Tom James, I owned suits. Now, I experience a suit. There is nothing like the feeling you get when you first put on a suit tailored for you. It feels and looks great. It feels natural. Ben takes that feeling seriously. I don't regret getting my suits from Tom James; I only regret not getting one sooner."

The Rays will have only a few spots up for grabs during their month of exhibition games: starting shortstop, between Reid Brignac and Sean Rodriguez, who split the spot last year; the other catcher's spot, a three-way derby between Jose Lobaton, Robinson Chirinos and Chris Gimenez to share time with Jose Molina; and the final spot in the bullpen.
But one of the primary topics of discussion and debate will be in setting up the batting order for their improved offense.
With the addition of left-handed sluggers Carlos Pena and Luke Scott, plus the strong finish by B.J. Upton in the No. 2 spot, the Rays have some interesting decisions, with about the only sure thing being Desmond Jennings in the leadoff spot.
Manager Joe Maddon called it "a little funky" and executive vice president Andrew Friedman said, "It's not incredibly intuitive."
The most interesting question involves the No. 2 spot, where the Rays have to decide whether to stray from their usual preference of alternating left- and right-handed hitters by sticking with Upton, switch-hitting Ben Zobrist or Scott, who has a high on-base percentage.
Upton batted .356 with 14 RBI and a 1.106 OPS in 23 September games in the second slot.
Also of some debate is how best to deploy lefties Pena, Scott and Matt Joyce, who seem likely to slot into the 4-7 spots. Third baseman Evan Longoria prefers the third spot, and the catcher and shortstop will be at the bottom of the order.
|Third Baseman Evan Longoria, seen here in a game against the Toronto Blue Jays last season, survived a scare after being hit in the wrist by teammate Matt Bush earlier this week in an intra-squad game.
--3B Evan Longoria is slated to make his exhibition debut on March 5 after sustaining a bruised right hand when he was hit by Matt Bush's pitch in a Thursday intrasquad game. The discoloration and pain had the Rays and Longoria worried, but X-rays showed nothing was broken. "Once that worry's out of your head, you just let the swelling go down and go from there," Longoria said.
--LHP Matt Moore's chances to make the rotation at the start of the season won't be impacted by the time he missed due to a mild lower abdominal strain, manager Joe Maddon said. Moore felt discomfort during a Feb. 24 bullpen session and was limited to playing catch for more than a week, with a return to the mound expected March 4 or 5.
--OF Matt Joyce's biggest goal for this season is obvious. "The biggest thing is being consistent, finding that consistency to go out there every week, every month, every day and have consistent at-bats and play consistent baseball," Joyce said. "And when you do that, you're able to help your team a lot."
--CF B.J. Upton said the Rays don't hold anything against Manny Ramirez, who left them and "retired" last season rather than serve a drug suspension and now has returned with Oakland. "He's a great guy and I'm glad he came back," Upton said. "Sometimes there's stuff that goes on outside of baseball that needs to be handled first. If he had to walk away at that time, if he felt like that's what he needed to do, he's played this game long enough that if he felt he had to go, then he had to go. It says a lot about a guy to go through when he went through and deal with all the criticism, and still be able to look people in the eye and say, 'Yes I was wrong but, you know what, I'm going to come back.'"
--DH Luke Scott was scheduled to miss the first five or six exhibitions to give him extra time to recover from right shoulder surgery, as the Rays are more focused on having him ready for the April 6 season opener. Scott said he has felt soreness after swinging but overall is ahead of schedule.
BY THE NUMBERS: 12 -- Major leaguers besides 3B Evan Longoria to have 100 home runs and 400 RBI in their first four seasons. The others were Ryan Braun, Miguel Cabrera, Mark Teixeira, Albert Pujols, Orlando Cepeda, Ralph Kiner, Ted Williams, Joe DiMaggio, Bob Johnson, Hal Trosky, Earl Averill and Chuck Klein.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "There's no on-and-off switch. I think there's a dimmer switch sometimes, but never an on-and-off switch for us." -- Manager Joe Maddon, on his preference for intense play in spring training.

"You have a Benelli"
"I have a what?"
"That box over there?"
"Oh, what's it for? Some _______ came in that as a Christmas present from my brother."
I understand the precautions that some people have about letting strangers into their home, but sometimes you have to sell something big and there is no way around it. In college, I sold some stuff on craigslist and there weren't any problems. Keep your head on a swivel.
Bought a new leather sofa to put in my bedroom. When it was delivered, three guys brought it up the stairs and into my bedroom. I had completely forgotten that I keep three rifles on my bedroom gun rack above the bed...an AR-15, a shotgun, and a .22 rifle. These guys had been eyeing the house as they moved through it and I could immediately see that their three sets of eyes all found my artillery at the same time. One asked, "Are you a hunter?" I replied, "No." "Then what are those guns for?" What out missing a beat, I blurted out, "Those are my anti-theft devices." Unless I buy more furniture, I don't believe I will have to worry about seeing those guys show up uninvited.
I wouldn't worry about it. The fact that he's a teacher, should give you some peace of mind. Also that the little girl knew what a Benelli was is a good sign to me (he's teaching his kids right) I probably would have tried to put together a trip to shoot some clays, I'm always looking for someone to shoot/hunt with.
Hey, you learned a lesson via a little girl and her teacher daddy. Next time you'll know to be more cautious, but I'm 99 & 44/100th sure you got away clean on this one. Sleep well...
ret has it spot on. They even named the family pooch Benelli.......gotta love it.
Yes, be a little more careful in your forethought as to who comes over to your home, but a middle-skool teacher with two young'uns in tow isn't a red-flag IMO.
Thats funny
Pretty much anyone can find out for example that I am an instructor for the MN carry permit. After all I advertise to drum up busniess. That said it pretty much means I own and probably carry guns. It goes with the territory and I don't spend a lot of time worrying about it. It's never been an issue.
But, you know he has a NOVA. LOL.
But then, we all know now too.
uhmmmmboy a benelli where abouts do you live bubububuuuuu-deeeeee?

Wheeler's Back in Business Following Assets Auction
August 27, 2008
Six months after filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, Wheeler's Building Materials has emerged as a new company, according to media reports, although all senior staff, logos and the company name remain unchanged. An article in The Newnan Times-Herald reports that the Rome, Ga.-based company has hung a "We're back!" banner outside of its supply facility after owners Jim and Mark Manis purchased the company's assets at auction following the bankruptcy filing. The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in February, citing a severe downturn in demand with the woes of the housing market. The article reports that a number of the 246 employees who were downsized in January were brought back, although the company has not announced specifics. The Manis brothers did not immediately return calls for comment. The company reopened its location in Newnan, Ga.; as well as state locations in Rome, Cartersville and Jasper. The 59-year-old company will still maintain manufacturing operations, although they are scaled back significantly. The article reports that the window plant that formerly employed 150 is down to about 10 employees. Wheeler's also continues operation of a truss plant and a door plant.
