Just a little help staying ahead of the sports world learning curve heading back into the work week:
1. Arte Moreno still wants to party. Coming up on 10 years as the Angels' owner, he says he wants both his team, and the Dodgers, to be competitive, share in the wealth of Southern California baseball. There's enough room for the two of them to thrive. It's not a competition. Until they get on the field. "I think it's great," he said of the rivalry during Saturday's grand announcement about the team's signing of Josh Hamilton, which still leaves the Angels' payroll for 2013 about $60 million short of the Dodgers. "Those fans have invested themselves (in the Dodgers), some going back to 1958. They've had great success. Mattingly has done a great job. I can't wait to play 'em. You know how much fun that's going to be, for fans to argue over who's stronger? It'll start in the spring when we play them the first time (in Arizona). I can't wait." Likewise.
2. The headline looks sexy: "Kobe stunted my growth, says Bynum." Thing is, Kobe Bryant seemed to agree, not even sarcastically, with the assessment of former teammate Andrew Bynum, who has yet to play a game yet with his new team, the Philadelphia 76ers, because his health continues to be stunted. The real curious quote from Bynum, however, came later, when making a comparison about how the trade that sent him to Philly also brought Dwight Howard to the Lakers in a swap of high-profile centers. "Personally, I think they traded No. 1 for No. 2," Bynum said. One writer in his story chronicling that quote added that Bynum indicated that Howard was No. 1, not him. Another couple of writers (including the Daily News' Mark Medina) called it "a clear suggestions he believes he's better than Howard." Either way, one is playing, the other isn't. Which one would you rather be?
3.The NHL's players union is invested in voting on whether to decertify, call in for some lunch or take another break from talks with the owners over a labor dispute that has reached 92 days and can't be much closer to calling it a season than ever before. Skate around the issues even long and see how that works for getting a paycheck. Unions can be useful if there's a huge moral or ethical issue involved. Splitting hairs over the detrement of the entire existence of professional hockey in North America isn't the solution. There's already a shortage of Twinkies and Ding Dongs thanks, in a small part, to misguided corporate ownership and mismanaged employees. Dang it, just drop the egos and drop the puck.
4. Adrian Petersen needs 294 yards in the last two games of the regular season to break Eric Dickerson's 16-game mark of 2,105 with the L.A. Rams in 1984. The Minnesota Vikings star could have had that alone Sunday against St. Louis but settled for 212 on 24 carries, one of which was an 82-yard TD sprint on a knee that was put together a year ago after he tore two ligaments. Dickerson has gone on record as saying he didn''t want Petersen to break his record. "I don't watch football anymore," said Dickerson, lying. "I don't watch sports. I just see the highlights. I see his highlights and he's a great player. I don't want him to break my record, but I wish him the best. . . . I like having the record. I don't think it's going to be broken." Keep repeating that, Dick, and you're going to sound like a broken record.
5. At least we didn't need another Bob Costas mini-commentary on gun safety to get a better grasp of what happened this weekend in Newtown, Conn.

Aftermath of 9/11: Study Shows Firefighters' Breathing Problems Never Went Away
Study Finds Rescue Workers from Sept. 11 Had Lung Problems Seven Years Later
More than seven years after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, rescue workers still had trouble breathing after they inhaled from the cloud of dust that enveloped southern Manhattan, a new study concludes.
[See video available at source, http://abcnews.go.com/Health/Asthma/firefighters-911-lung-problems-study-finds/story?id=10313156 , "Study shows no recovery for 9/11 rescue workers who suffered acute lung damage".
Doctors conducted a seven-year study of members of the New York City Fire Department who responded to the World Trade Center attacks between Sept. 11 and Sept. 24, 2001. The researchers were able to include 91 percent of the responding workers -- a total of 10,870 firefighters and 1,911 EMS workers.
By 2008, the rescuers who had significant declines in lung function a year after the attack had still not recovered, and the recorded drop in lung function was about 12 times the rate seen in normal aging. The research was published Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine.
"Exposed people want to have answers. Not just for themselves but for entire group," said Dr. David Prezant, senior author of the study and Chief Medical Officer of the Office of Medical Affairs, for the New York City Fire Department (FDNY). "I was at 9/11 and was exposed myself."
Prezant teamed up with doctors from New York University, Montefiore Medical Center and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, among others, to track the workers exposed during the 9/11 attacks.
He said the partnership between the fire department, management and doctors in New York gave the study advantages over other research that has tried to assess health problems caused Sept. 11, attacks.
"Every worker in our study is a proven exposed worker," said Prezant.
Fire departments often use the same lung-function test from Prezant's study in physicals firefighters need to pass to stay on the job -- so unlike many other studies on the topic, these researchers had access to lung-function tests given to firefighters before 9/11 to compare to the tests after the attack.
Prezant also didn't have to recruit for study subjects from the general public, which might have skewed the results.

Florida Paleontologist Arrested, Charged for Stealing Dinosaur Bones
Tiffany Kaiser
October 18, 2012 8:01 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
He was charged with smuggling goods into the U.S. and interstate sale and receipt of stolen goods
A man from the state of Florida has given a whole new meaning to the term "grave robbing" after getting caught smuggling
dinosaur bones
from Mongolia to the United States.
Eric Prokopi, 38, a commercial paleontologist from Gainesville, Florida, was arrested in his home today for stealing the skeleton of a Tyrannosaurus bataar -- an Asian
cousin of the Tyrannosaurus Rex
-- from the Gobi Desert in Mongolia and smuggling it into the United States.
Prokopi then auctioned the skeleton in Manhattan, New York for $1.05 million in May of this year. According to Mongolian law, dinosaur remains cannot be removed for personal gain. A Mongolian citizen took a picture of Prokopi physically pulling the bones out of the ground in the Gobi Desert. Mongolia is asking that the remains be returned.
Not long after the Manhattan auction, the U.S. government seized the skeleton and launched an investigation. What they found was shocking: not only did Prokopi steal the Tyrannosaurus bataar skeleton, but he also hoarded the remains of other dinosaur fossils.
"Our recent seizure of the Tyrannosaurus bataar skeleton from Eric Prokopi was merely the tip of the iceberg, said Preet Bharara, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. "Our investigation uncovered a one-man black market in prehistoric fossils."
The other dino bones found in Prokopi's possession were a Saurolophus angustirostris, which resided in what is considered Mongolia today 68 million years ago; a Microraptor, which resided in what is considered China today 65 million years ago, a Gallimimus and a Oviraptor, which both lived 65 million years ago.
Prokopi was charged with smuggling goods into the U.S. and interstate sale and receipt of stolen goods. He also faces one count of conspiracy to smuggle illegal goods, making false statements and possessing stolen property. If he is convicted of these charges, he faces up to 35 years in prison.
"We want to make this illegal business practice
extinct in the U.S.
," said James Hayes of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations (HSI). "This fossil is a symbol of the rich cultural heritage of the Mongolian people. HSI will preserve the fossil and return it to its rightful owner."

POMONA - Ontario resident Jonathan Crispin said a ticket for roughly $300 to see his favorite indie rock band the Arctic Monkeys play the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival was "too expensive."
So Crispin spent a little more than $35 to see them at the Glass House on Wednesday night after the band was announced to play in mid-March.
"I was ecstatic," Crispin, 19, said as he stood in line with hundreds of fans outside the venue before its doors opened.
Downey fan Mariah Bleak, 20, said she had seen the band twice in Hollywood. Was Pomona too far to travel?
"Not at all," Bleak said as she stood in line waiting for the doors to open. Work conflicted with her attending Coachella, so she was "most definitely" happy to see the Arctic Monkeys on Wednesday.
The sold-out Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, which has more than 150 musical acts over two weekends, has multiple connections locally.
Perry and Paul Tollett co-founded the Glass House, 200 W. Second St., in a former Thrifty drugstore in 1996. The venue holds 800 people.
The Tolletts partnered with Ed and Jerry Tessier to make the Pomona Fox Theater, 301 S. Garey Ave., restoration a success, beginning in April 2009.
Paul Tollett is president of Goldenvoice, the promoter that puts together the popular Indio festival.
"All the credit goes to Goldenvoice (for booking the acts)," said Ed Tessier in a Thursday interview. "We're always flattered in Pomona that Coachella bands like warming up locally or giving their fans something extra special during festival time."
In February 2007, the Tessiers and the Tolletts purchased the Fox from the city for $1.6 million, with part of the cost to be paid for with future revenue generated by the 2,000-seat theater.
Ed Tessier said the Fox Theater's best weeks have been during the run-up to the Coachella Festival.
"Coachella is a phenomena, and the musicians it attracts are coming from all over the world," Ed Tessier said. "So that's nothing but good news for the Fox and the Glass House."
Besides the appearance of the Arctic Monkeys, the Glass House on Thursday attracted Coachella act punk band Refused while experimental act M83 performed at the nearby Fox the same night.
Dennis Callaci, general manager of Rhino Records in Claremont, said foot traffic came to his store from the acts performing in Pomona before the festival.
"It depends on the show," Callaci said, adding a show by Refused on Thursday night would not bring additional foot traffic in because fans would be "lining up to try to get in front of the stage."
Next week, Coachella acts at the Glass House feature The Hives and The Rapture on Monday, A$AP Rockey on Tuesday, Explosions in the Sky on Wednesday and tUnE-yArDs and St. Vincent on Thursday.
The Coachella acts at the Fox Theater next week are Bon Iver on Monday, Porter Robinson and Madeon on Wednesdayand Pulp on Thursday.
The music keeps downtown Pomona viable, Ed Tessier said.
"Few things energize customers the way music does," Ed Tessier said. "In fact, we get visitors from out of state on a regular basis. They definitely keep the downtown populated and fresh.
"It's just as true with the performers. It's so flattering bands come back again and again and again to both venues. They really like it. It's an authentic music and neighborhood experience. So look at our calendars, and there's more (musical acts like) Morrissey or Girl Talk or Aquabats.
"The folks at Goldenvoice do a great job of making musicians feel appreciated and motivated to come back."

The P.E.I. Liquor Control Commission is hoping to create a buzz about Island-made alcohol.
It recently made changes to the Liquor Control Act to allow people who eat at restaurants to purchase locally-made booze.
The catch is, people must eat a full meal at the restaurant in order to place a take-out order for a bottle of wine, spirits or beer. Finger foods don't count.
"It's still a very young industry here on P.E.I.,'' said Jamie MacLeod, director of corporate services with the liquor commission, referring to those on P.E.I. who manufacture alcohol. "The commission was looking at ways to hopefully support local manufacturers.''
The commission also had tourists in mind when it made the change.
"Tourists are in having a meal and happen to buy an Island product. There is an opportunity for them right there on the spot to hopefully purchase the product and take it home with them and pass the good word around.''
Restaurants will require a special licence from the commission. Of the 485 licences across the province, between 200 and 225 will be eligible to apply for the special licence.
MacLeod said a similar, but not identical, licence is available in about five other provinces or territories but the rules are more relaxed elsewhere. In Alberta, for example, there is no restriction on what can be purchased in terms of the type of product or amount.
The restrictions on P.E.I. are — a maximum of two 750-ml bottles of wine, two 750-ml bottles of spirits and the equivalent of up to 12 355-ml cans/bottles of beer.
Sales on P.E.I. are also restricted to 9 a.m. to midnight.
Other provinces also don't require patrons to eat before they purchase take-out alcohol.
"We added the social responsibility element that there has to be a sit-down meal. It can't be finger food. It has to be a legitimate meal from a menu that we would approve of.''
Liam Dolan, who owns three restaurants in Charlottetown and was recently elected chairman of the board of Restaurants Canada, gives the move a thumbs-up.
"I think it's great for the manufacturer, for the little wineries and the little breweries,'' Dolan said. "Is anybody going to sell a whole lot of it? I don't think so but I think it's a great convenience for tourists coming in.''

Using a fabric developed for NASA to help astronauts adapt to extreme temperature fluctuations, this comforter prevents overheating and eliminates chills to create an optimal sleeping climate. Embedded in the comforter's shell are millions of invisible microcapsules that absorb excess heat when you are hot and release the stored heat when you are cold, ensuring a comfortable bed temperature and humidity. Unlike an electric blanket, the microcapsules adjust independently to an individual's climate, allowing two sleepers with different temperature preferences to remain comfortable throughout the night. The 350-thread count exterior is made from 100% cotton and the comforter has 31 oz. to 54 oz. of polyester fiberfill, depending upon size. Twin. 86" L x 70" W. (4 1/2 lbs.)

Best Uses
Bought the first one for my wife and I - was waking a couple times a night and suspected it was either from being to cold or hot - this comforter solved that problem! One of our kids was also constantly waking in the middle of the night so we decided to buy another (for her) to see if it would help - again, solved the problem and she sleeps through the night :)Would recommend if you suspect you might be experiencing similar issues. Even if your a sleeper that can sleep on a log, it is still a very nice comforter.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

My Carolina Alumni Association names new executive director
By Wes Hickman, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-3478
My Carolina Alumni Association has named Jack W. Claypoole, '87, executive director, effective July 18.
Claypoole, a native of Clinton, S.C., graduated from the University of South Carolina in 1987 with a degree in journalism. He was chosen after a national search.
"This is an incredibly exciting time to come home to Carolina and serve our alumni," Claypoole said. "Our Board of Governors has established a clear and aggressive vision for growth, we have a talented staff working to improve alumni programming and we have university leadership committed to supporting the association's plan to build a new alumni center that will connect our alumni to learning and networking activities in Columbia and around the country. Whether it's our flagship status in South Carolina or the national recognition earned in both academics and athletics, today's USC is a great 'home base' for our alumni, and I'm looking forward to serving and supporting My Carolina."
Claypoole is currently the associate deputy director of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy and most recently was president and CEO of LRADAC, the Behavioral Health Center of the Midlands.
"We are thrilled that Jack will be joining us," said My Carolina President Lee Bussell. "We believe he brings the energy and creativity to help us build an alumni center and broaden our engagement programs such as advocacy, lifelong learning and career networking."
Claypoole will succeed Marsha A. Cole, who stepped down as executive director in 2011 to focus on the alumni center project. Cole, who will retire on June 30, 2012, has earned praise for her dedication to and work for the association.
"Because of Marsha's hard work and tenacity, the new alumni center will be built," Bussell said. "She is a true Gamecock, and what she did to improve the association is deeply appreciated."

WG201WG0412BX12: WetFire Fire Starting Tinder, 12 Pack
Ultimate Survival Technologies
You've probably never seen anything like this! The perfect accompaniment to any fire starter, WetFire™ tinder can help you get a blaze going even in a downpour. In fact you will find, these amazing cubes actually burn longer when wet!
WetFire™ tinder was born from the need for a universal lighting material that was safe, easy-to-carry, and unaffected by wind or water. You might not be like the elite military troops for whom is was designed, but you can be prepared like them. If you are into the outdoors and find yourself hiking, camping, or backpacking, you never know where you might end up and in what kind of weather. You need something that will light a fire in a rainstorm, if needed, and that will extinguish instantly.
Ultimate Survival Technologies' WetFire™ tinder is hands-down the best fire-starting tinder material available anywhere in the world. It is individually packaged in a lightweight solid cube form that can't leak or foul up your other gear. It leaves none of the residue of other petroleum-based products and has virtually no odor. The tinder cubes burn with almost no smoke and can be started even in high winds and nasty weather. In fact, the tinder burns while floating in water, and burns longer when wet.
WetFire™ tinder burns at over 1,300 degrees yet cools almost instantly when you snuff it out. A small pile of shavings is enough to start a campfire, warm your hands, or pre-heat a backpacking stove. You will always want to have some of these cubes available when you go outdoors.
While WetFire™ was developed for military personnel, but now you can benefit from this amazing fire starting tinder. For decades, mountain climbing meant struggling with gooey fire starting gels trying to light your stove at high altitude. Not only messy, these gels are hard to use. At high altitude you have enough to worry about without wasting energy trying to light an uncooperative stove. With WetFire™ tinder, you won't ever have this problem again. Just sprinkle a small amount of tinder shavings around the backpacker stove, and it lights instantly.
Even if you're not in the military, and don't plan to climb Everest, WetFire™ tinder will help you start any fire. Use it to light your backyard barbecue, or to start a fire in your living room fireplace. Be the envy of your friends when only you can start the late night beach bonfire.

Same question! Accoding to Netstumbler, internal antenna which is mounted to the laptop's lid gives better reception over USB Netgear and Ralink which I recently tried.
Who got a suggestion on a mini-PCI card to install? Many thanks!
After buying a WG511T for my E1505 and realizing it wouldn't fit I want to replace the internal wifi in my laptop. I was wondering if this is possible what card would you prefer?
Thanks for the suggestions,

I want to replace my BCM4311 in my f572us... What factors are involved in doing this? I understand some cards will be bigger than stock, anything else?
Be very careful when trading out wifi internal cards. I believe Dell and Compaq have some BIOS hack that will only work for broadcoms or their cards.
Like my wifes Compaq.......You have to use a hex editor on the BIOS just to take out her broadCRAP if you want to replace it with an Atheros chipped Internal Wi-Fi and have your laptop recognize it!
So be very careful...our Admin Re@lity can tell you some personal experiences he had with editing the BIOS with a Hex editor.
You could f-up your laptop trying it.

I have a dell insprin 1405 laptop and replaced the internal broadcom card with a gigabyte GN-WI07HT. It works fine in a few different linux distributions ive tried and Windows xp. it does work, but as long as i have that card in the system it locks up the machine after 5 or ten minutes. Was gonna try the card on a dell latitude d620 and see if that machine locks up with that card.
I did try the same card in a friends compaq and on post it lists a message, "unsupported network card detected system haulted". Was gonna try a new windows install with the card again to see if its just the windows xp install i have running.
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69

By Mike Benbow Special to The Herald
The Reifel sanctuary just across the border in Canada is a bit like a giant zoo for birds.
There are no bars, cages or nets, but the 850-acre sanctuary on the Fraser River estuary manages to attract and hold an enormous number of birds, especially in winter.
There are some 250 species, with 40 or more moving through in the fall and spring.
Officially named the George C. Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary, the area is on Westham Island at a former family retreat for the late Reifel, a real estate investor and brewer who purchased the land in 1927.
It's now an area protected by the government and managed for migratory species like sandhill cranes, trumpeter Swans, snow geese, ducks and sandpipers. Like most areas along the coastal United States, Reifel gets a lot of bird visitors that fly south for the winter, then head back north in spring to breed.
It's been designated an area of international significance by the Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network because of the thousands of shorebirds wintering there.
What makes Reifel a little different from other sanctuaries — more zoolike, if you will — is that it offers handouts to the birds, either from the feeders located around the property or from visitors who buy food at the entrance.
That makes a lot of the birds you see more tolerant of people, again making the sanctuary more like a zoo than a wilderness.
The area is particularly family friendly, with an extensive system of easily walkable trails throughout the estuary. There are also a number of bird blinds and lookouts as well as a several-stories tower that provides special looks.
I visited the sanctuary in late February to see sandhill cranes, an endangered species in Washington state. I went last year to the Othello Sandhill Crane Festival, but didn't have a lot of success finding them. So I was attracted by the idea of going to Reifel, which is a shorter trip than central or Eastern Washington even though it's in another country.
I've always been interested in sandhills because they're the oldest known species of birds that are still surviving pretty much as they began. A fossil found in Nebraska that was estimated to be 10 million years old was structurally identical to modern sandhills, meaning they're essentially a living dinosaur.
I heard them at Reifel before I saw them: trumpeting a stacotto har-r-r-r-o-o-o, har-r-r-o-o-o sound. Eventually a group of four greeted me on the path to the observation tower, posing for pictures closeby as they stabbed their substantial beaks into the ground searching for something to eat.
The cranes were a lot more friendly than I expected, and I soon found out why. When John and Margaret Vogt of New Westminster, B.C., arrived with a young daughter who was scattering birdseed, the cranes dropped me like a bad habit to go see their new BFFs.
There were a dozen or so cranes in the sanctuary, but there's only one pair that stays year-round. They chase the other cranes away in spring when it's time to breed again.
I didn't see snow geese on the visit last month, although lots of them visit the area in winter, just as they do in Snohomish and Skagit counties. The geese in the Reifel area breed on Wrangel Island in Russia, just like the ones we see here. I don't think the geese wintering around Reifel have left the area yet to head north, but they typically do in April.
That means if you want to see the geese, the swans, the cranes and other migratory species, you should plan a trip to Reifel pretty soon. An added bonus is that Reifel, which is about a two- to two-and-a-half-hour drive, is only a few minutes from Boundary Bay, an area where you can see snowy owls, a visitor from the Arctic that doesn't regularly come this far south. The owls will also be leaving in April and may not come back again for years.
But even if you can't make the trip to Reifel within the next few weeks, it's a wonderful place to visit any time; there are plenty of birds there year-round.
Just remember that while it's in a beautiful and important estuary, Reifel is not to be confused with a wilderness experience. That's a good thing if you have kids or if you just want to go for an easy stroll and look at a lot of wildlife.
George C. Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary
Hours: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.
Cost: $5 for adults; $3 for children ages 2 to 14; $3 for seniors.

Turn right onto the narrow bridge and follow the road to the end, which is the sanctuary's parking lot.
Boundary Bay directions: If you want to add a visit to Boundary Bay after you've been to Reifel, go back to River Road and head back into the Ladner commercial area. Turn right onto 72nd Street and drive to the end of the road. Park and head to your right onto a dike.
Bring: Don't forget your passport or enhanced driver's license for the border crossing. If you want to stay at Reifel through lunch, bring it with you.

Last month I wrote about the structural challenges that the vending and coin-operated amusement industries are striving to address, and how if we are to succeed, we must all learn to reinvent ourselves and to communicate with customers in a way that's meaningful to them. Operators cannot forget that we now are in a new relationship with the location and the consumer; we have become, in effect, social directors and are in the business of entertainment.
If consumers are attracted by state-of-the-art equipment and crave opportunities to express themselves interactively, then this is the type of experience we must provide for them. One way to stay connected with the consumer is through the use of social media, loyalty-rewards applications and electronic promotions. The good news is that we now have affordable platforms to make this connectivity a reality. Even more promising is that new payment systems are broadening the interface between vending machines and customers, allowing consumers to pay with whatever they have in their pockets. Vendors now have access to the same technology as other retailers do, which (as we have heard, over and over again) has leveled the playing-field and given us a whole new ball game.
For the past several years, we seem to have been pushing a rock up a steep slope. At the NAMA OneShow, it became evident that we have passed a tipping-point; the rock has started to roll down the far side, and we are trying to keep up with it.
This made the convention more upbeat and exciting than it has been in a decade and a half. It was very enjoyable to watch the latest technology in action, and more importantly, to observe operators eager to implement these enhancements. This change in attitude was apparent by the positive energy on the show floor. Everyone appeared to be excited, and it has been a long time coming.
Technology is clearly working in vending's favor. Mobile payment options, interactive touchscreen displays, enhanced remote monitoring technology and the latest generations of route management software are the technological advancements that enable the operator to compete with other convenience outlets by providing a more attractive, engaging and personalized experience to the consumer. Another important change is that today's vending machines impose fewer limits on the customer's options. This, of course, is more of a continuing development than a revolution; machines have become steadily more flexible in accommodating diverse package sizes and shapes. And that flexibility is available to accept whatever variety of snack and drink selections customers want and operators are prepared to offer. These include organic and "healthy" food choices that address the growing nutritional awareness on the part of consumers.
Packaging and pricing obstacles also are being overcome by the emergence of micromarkets. I spoke with several enthusiastic candy suppliers at NAMA who have observed a trend toward operators selling bigger bags of candy through self-checkout systems, which they believe are opening doors to many more opportunities.
If today's Generation Y consumers demand convenience, variety and value and are looking for a different experience, then the vending industry has answered their call. We are limited only by our imagination. As NAMA chairman Brad Ellis, Crane Merchandising Systems, observed in his opening address, "vending has the potential to be the ultimate in convenience in a society focused on immediate gratification. One key advantage is that Gen Y loves to interact with machines; they prefer it over waiting in line. They love technology and convenience. You need to engage them, and keep them engaged."
For well over a decade, forward-thinking observers in the industry and outside it have been urging vendors to study the marketing practices of convenience stores and fast-food restaurants (and coffee shops), which are our principal competitors. From the earliest days of full-line vending, alert operators have been aware of the value of promotion, and suppliers have been eager to assist them with programs whose conduct and results can be tracked. The obstacles imposed by dispersed, remote points of sale, pricing in nickel increments (at best), the need to vend items one at a time, as separate transactions, and the time involved in applying – and removing – signage always imposed severe constraints on our ability to conduct the kind of promotions that are common in other retailing channels.
But not any more. Networked machines, affordable consumer-responsive displays and pricing systems of unprecedented flexibility and sophistication have, indeed, leveled the playing field. It really is a whole new ball game, and the vending industry is coming to bat.
Game on. The reinvention is accelerating. What are you waiting for?

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the Indian trust or restricted lands within the limits of the Lummi Indian diking project as established by the Act of March 18, 1926 (44 Stat. 211), may be included in, and may be assessed for operation and maintenance, betterment, and construction by, any diking and drainage district that may be formed under the diking and drainage laws of the State of Washington: Provided, That such Indian lands shall be assessed on the same basis that all other lands within the district are assessed. Such assessment may be collected in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington, except that no Indian trust or restricted lands shall be sold for the collection of an assessment without the consent of the Secretary of the Interior. If the Secretary refuses to consent to such sale, he shall pay the assessment out of any appropriation or fund available therefor. Any portion of such payment which the Secretary determines to be within the ability of the Indian owner to pay shall become a lien against the land, subject to the provisions of the Act of July 1, 1932 (47 Stat. 564).
(a) The Secretary of the Interior shall cancel all outstanding charges for construction, operation, and maintenance, including any interest or penalties, outstanding on the date this section becomes effective.
(b) All assessments against each tract of land within the project which on the date of this Act is in a trust or restricted status and which have heretofore been collected for construction, operation, and maintenance, including interest and penalties, and deposited in the Treasury shall be transferred on the books of the Treasury into an account that shall be available to the Secretary of the Interior to pay any assessments hereafter made against each such tract pursuant to this Act.
(c) The provisions of subsections (a) and (b) of this section shall become effective on the date of approval of the organization by the Whatcom County commissioners of the new diking and drainage district.
(d) Operation and maintenance assessments shall continue to be made but their collection shall be suspended for not to exceed two years until the new diking and drainage district is formed. If the new

district is formed within such two-year period such assessments shall be canceled. If the new district is not formed within such period the assessments shall be collected with interest and penalties thereafter accruing.
At such time as the diking drainage district covering the Indian trust and restricted lands within the Lummi diking project shall be established under the laws of Washington and shall be in operation, the Government shall thereupon be relieved of any further responsibility of whatever nature in connection with the operation and maintenance, betterment, or construction of any dikes, structures, drains, or any appurtenant works existing on the Lummi diking project, including any responsibility for damages that may result from the failure of any dikes, drains, structures, or appurtenant works heretofore or hereafter constructed. Any equipment and funds standing to the credit of the Lummi diking project on the books of the Secretary of the Interior at such time shall be paid and turned over to such diking and drainage district if the owners of nonrestricted lands in the new district contribute an amount equal to the value of such equipment and funds. Any right, title, or interest of the United States in and to any of the dikes or other structures erected as part of the Lummi diking project, and the lands on which they are located, shall be deemed to be conveyed to the county of Whatcom, State of Washington, for the use and benefit of such diking and drainage district on the date the district is organized. The Bureau of Indian Affairs is directed to make available to such diking and drainage district or to the county of Whatcom any information, data, or documents which may assist in its organization or operation.
Nothing in this Act shall be construed to affect the Lummi Indians' hunting or fishing rights.
Approved, September 17, 1965.

Discussion in 'Sports Zone' started by TheCowboy, Feb 26, 2012.
They just started qualifying. So I have no idea what you're talking about.
Oops, I think I read the wrong link haha. My bad. Looks like Mark Martin won the pole.
Maybe you were looking at the qualifying order or practice speeds or something.
Probably. I thought the race today was OK. Congrats to Denny Hamlin.
I got Greg Biffle today in Bristol. What's your pick?
Kyle Busch
The tow trucks will be busy.
I think Smoke has the car if he can keep the tires on it. Edwards could do well too.
Don't think they get 10 laps in before the first yellow. The track has changes since the rain so the set up is going to be off a bit for the first part of the race.
Well so much for Kyle
If I don't pull for Jr it is a sin
It just means you aren't rooting for the winner
I pull for you all the time. :laugh2:
So much for Edwards as well. I thought ten laps but made it all the way to twenty. It's a short track. Twenty laps of racing, thirty laps of caution.
Well stop it :laugh1:
I can't help it something about the underdog. :laugh2:
Great race today! Not as many cautions as I thought.
never thought I'd see the day that the stands at Bristol would be half empty.
Had 3 of 4 drives in my fantasy team finish top 10 including Newman. Also, Jr. finished 3rd, so its a good day for me.
David Reutimann looked like he was going to cry after the race. I don't know if he purposely stayed out too long or not. He sounded sincere after the race and yes, I know all the Hendrick drivers wanted to pretty much beat him up.
I do think Johnson or Gordon would have won if not for that last caution. Which was good for me as I had Harvick today in Fantasy and well he just sucked today! Almost everyone else had Gordon or Hamlin, so the crash helped me a little bit.
Still waiting for that Jr. win!!!

Just order the shit, and when/if your parents see it just tell them you write.
Markers shouldnt be a big deal, if your young enough to be worrying about being caught by your parents then your young enough to own marker pens without arousing suspicion. At the end of the day graff is like smoking and drinking, as much as they might hate it theres not much your parents can do to stop you doing it.

Only Fuck Fat Bitches Crew !!
I know that there is a markers thread but I felt like this was a better place to ask this. I have tons of sharpies and draw in my blackbook, dhl stickers, and label 228's. I also have a sharpie king size and some sharpie paint markers (gold and white). I really like the paint markers, what brand do you recommend for paint markers that are good on stickers? Also, a lot of people say to also get some prismas. Should I get some or are the sharpies good enough? My supplies aren't gonna make me write better but at the same time I hate how sharpies fade in the rain and everything. Should i just clearcoat it?
Cool will do just left my cap stash last time I painted just gonna try and get by until I order some more caps.
Only Fuck Fat Bitches Crew !!
stock tipping's the best way to gain outstanding can control man... there ain't no better practice. I've done well over 60 full color piece with stock tips, and I can safely say they're the reason I got my can control down.
when you're a pro with stocks, everything else that supports interchangeable caps (ironlak, montana, belton...) is a piece of cake to handle.

Those art primo female fats do wonders too, so you could fill with those and then use the stock to cut the lines to save you some time.
yo, how much area does 1 can usually cover, i've only done paper stuff really and some tags so i need to know how many cans i'd need to do something well
i was thinking about like a 3 foot tall by about 5 foot piece, prolly three colors(fill, then edge, then background stuff)
bring 4 or 5 cans, depends on your control you'll have some left over
whats the difference between a throw and a simp? I know what a throw is but not a simp...
a simp is like a straight letter with 3d something than can be done quicker than a piece but not as quick as a throw

Maple Leafs' Phil Kessel is stopped by Canadiens goalie Carey Price and Hal Gill during the second period on Thursday night. Dave Sidaway, The Gazette
Preview | Matchups | Thursday's
NHL schedule | Boone's
Blog, Quick
Hits and About last night …
| Stubbs on Twitter | Hickey's game story
AUDIO: Mike Cammalleri I and II | Carey Price | Alex Auld | Jacques Martin
• At a Glance: Alex Auld didn't last long in his start against the Maple Leafs on Thursday night, giving up three goals before being pulled in 5-4 loss to the Maple Leafs. The Canadiens opened the scoring when Jeff Halpern redirected a Roman Hamrlik shot 5:43 into the period. But the Leafs scored three before the period was over, chasing Auld. Phil Kessel scored the first two goals, both on the power play. Brett Lebda scored at 13:02, ending Auld's night after allowing three goals on nine shots. The Canadiens would tie the game early in the second with a pair of power-play goals of their own. Michael Cammalleri beat James Reimer with an accurate wrist shot 3:42 into the period. Only 20 seconds late, James Wisniewski blasted a point shot beyond Reimer to make it 3-3. Tyler Bozak put the Leafs back in the lead with another power-play goal. His shot pinballed behind Carey Price with only two seconds remaining on a questionable call on Wiesniewski. Bozak scored his second of the game 4:26 into the second period not long after the Maple Leafs killed off a penalty, putting the game out of reach. Max Pacioretty made it 5-4 for the Leafs with 2:37 to play when his shot from in front of Reimer found its way behind the Leafs goaltender.
• What It Means: Montreal has lost four of its last five games and falls to 32-23-7 to remain at 71 points, three ahead of the New York Rangers for sixth place in the Eastern Conference.
• What's Next: The Hurricanes come to the Bell Centre on Saturday night before the Canadiens hit the road for three games starting March 1 in Atlanta, then on to Florida and Tampa Bay.

Frequently Asked Questions
What impact will the Kennedy gift have on the South Carolina College of Pharmacy?
The Kennedy Pharmacy Innovation Center will enable the South Carolina College of Pharmacy to transform pharmacy practice in South Carolina and serve as a model for the country. It will promote faculty development and innovation through student training in unique settings, as well.
How will it change the way pharmacy is taught?
The pharmacy profession is in the midst of great change, and future pharmacists need innovative approaches to meet new challenges of health care to maximize their quality of service. The Kennedy Center will enable students to tap into a collaborative, inter-disciplinary environment of pharmacy practice ingenuity that will prepare them to be regional and national leaders in the profession.
What does 'pharmacy practice innovation' really mean?
Today's pharmacist has to be an astute business entrepreneur as well as a trusted healthcare provider. Rapid and fundamental changes to the healthcare system will emphasize this need. Teaching innovation in pharmacy practice means preparing students with the intellectual agility to adapt, anticipate and succeed in an ever changing practice environment and to create new businesses and services that are needed in health care.
Why is a center like this necessary?
Healthcare is in a dynamic state of change. Pharmacy leaders within the healthcare community are playing an increasingly important role in disease prevention and management. As healthcare delivery strategies and methods change, pharmacists must be prepared to meet new challenges with solutions that maximize the quality of service.
What specific programs will the center have?
The program will have components of education, enrichment and discovery. The Kennedy Center will combine the nation's top minds in health care entrepreneurship, health sciences, communications and other disciplines with leading pharmacy practice faculty. The SCCP is putting together the team of faculty and advisers who will design the specific program content. Likely specifics may include scholarships for students, an endowed chair, fellowships, a Kennedy lecture series, specialized training and additional entrepreneurial courses and certifications.
How does the gift offset the state's recent budget cuts?
It doesn't. The gift is intended solely for developing new programs in pharmacy innovation.
How much is allocated to each of the programs?
Exact amounts have not been set for each component of the program.
Will USC be building a new facility to house the center?
No, but the Center will be housed on the USC campus at the Coker Life Sciences Building and Discovery I in Innovista. The Kennedy gift is to establish the programmatic elements of the center. The SCCP's curriculum and distance education technology bind the campuses in Columbia, Charleston and Greenville into one statewide entity so every pharmacy student will benefit from the Kennedy Center's entrepreneurial education.
Is this the largest gift ever to the College of Pharmacy?
How will USC students be able to participate in the programs?
The Kennedy Center will meld pharmaceutical, business and management principles to provide resources for students, faculty and researchers. Students in collaborating programs such as the Darla Moore School of Business, USC health sciences schools and Mass Communications and Information Studies will have exciting new educational opportunities through the center.
How will students at colleges outside of USC be able to participate in the programs?
Through the college's distance education program, SCCP students in Charleston and at Greenville Hospital System University Medical Center will have the same opportunities as students located at USC. The SCCP is putting together the team of faculty and advisers who will design the specific program content.

Has the Great Rotation already started? A couple of startling data points from the last month, covering treasury yields and flows into equity funds, certainly suggest so. But the picture is maddeningly unclear under closer examination.
First, there is the treasury bond market, as discussed in last week's video with Mike Mackenzie, before 10-year yields had risen above 2 per cent (they're back below today). Significant rises in yields would be an obvious sign of a rotation. You can see that video, and Mike's emphatic argument that if the equity rally makes any sense at all then the rotation out of bonds must be coming, here:
Note that even with the brief move above 2 per cent, there is still a way to go before the inexorable downward trend in yields that has now lasted more than a quarter of a century is breached.
The other obvious data to look at concerns flows into equity mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. Until very recently, the trend to pull money from equities and transfer it to stocks has continued unabated. Stephane Deo of UBS discussed this with Ralph Atkins in the Note video available here:
Again there are signs of change, but not enough to make the call that the "Great Rotation" has already begun. Most startlingly, TrimTabs, which can publish flow data quickly because it uses algorithms to derive estimated flows from funds' performance, found that inflows to all equity mutual funds and ETFs this month have already topped $55bn. That beats the previous monthly record, set ominously in February 2000 on the eve of the dotcom crash. Read more

Long before pedigree files populated the internet, printed family histories gathered and preserved the stories of your ancestors. Finding such a book with your surname on it can feel like winning the genealogical lottery.
But consulting published genealogies isn't without risk. Like online family trees, they need to be taken with a grain (or fistful) of salt. Just because something about your ancestors has been printed in a book doesn't make it fact. While published genealogies can lead you down the research path to success, they could also pull you into a research quagmire full of false information. We'll help you navigate these potentially perilous guides and gather the good information while rejecting the bad.

Paul Stanley on Rock Hall members & KISS' chances for induction
KISS' Paul Stanley doesn't hold out much hope of his band ever getting inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The rocker tells "The Huffington Post" the group's chances depend on "who lives longer" - them or Rock Hall co-founder Jann Wenner, who has been accused of being biased against KISS.
But he's not the only one. Rock Hall nominating committee member Dave Marsh has admitted that he doesn't want KISS on the ballot. Stanley calls it "absurd," given the lengthy list of artists - many of whom have been inducted - that call KISS an influence. He also objects to some of the people who have been inducted, citing 2012 inductee Laura Nyro to prove his point.
Paul calls himself "one of the biggest Laura Nyro fans," and says he still listens to her music "incessantly." He explains that Nyro "absolutely" fits in the Songwriters Hall of Fame, but she "does not belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame."
Stanley says he's not lobbying for KISS' induction. He says he would "certainly accept" if given the nod because it's important to the fans but he's not missing the "adoration" of "the people who choose not to see things."
Rush, Heart, and Randy Newman were among this year's Rock Hall inductees. An HBO special of last month's ceremony aired on Saturday.
