BEREA: For the most part, Billy Cundiff can recall every field goal he has attempted since he entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2002.
"It's kind of like an episode of Seinfeld," Cundiff said Wednesday before practice. "If you give me enough details, I can probably tell you what it is."
He remembers the game-winning, 18-yard field goal he made as a member of the Browns in 2009, lifting them to a 6-3 win over the Buffalo Bills on a windy day at Ralph Wilson Stadium. And he'll never forget the 32-yard attempt he missed for the Baltimore Ravens in the final minute of their 23-20 loss to the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game in January 2012.
After winning a tryout Tuesday and signing with the Browns, Cundiff is hoping to create more positive memories in Cleveland. He'll get a chance Sunday when the Browns host the Miami Dolphins in the regular-season opener.
"It obviously restarted my career," Cundiff said of his first stint with the Browns. "For my wife and I, we have very fond memories here because for two years, I didn't play in the regular season. This was a team that took a chance.
"The next season I was playing in the Pro Bowl [as a member of the Ravens]. I felt like I really got on track toward reaching my potential as a kicker. I'm very grateful for what they did for me. That's why I'm so excited to come back because of all the memories I have here."
Cundiff made all six field goals in 2009 while filling in for former Browns kicker Phil Dawson, who was sidelined with a strained calf. Dawson, 38, had been with the organization since 1999 until the new regime let him depart in free agency this past March. After earning his first Pro Bowl selection, Dawson signed a one-year, $2.25 million deal with the San Francisco 49ers.
"Phil and I were going back and forth last night, just texting," Cundiff said. "I've stayed in touch with him every year since I left here. He's a great guy. There's obviously a lot to learn from what he's done. I think it's a good thing to come in after a guy who's played at such a high level. You've got to bring your game up."
Cundiff, 33, will need to step up if he's going to rebound from his infamous miss with the Ravens. He made only 7-of-12 field goals last season with the Washington Redskins.
"I think that's kind of a good way to put it — nothing really got back on track," Cundiff said. "But for me, I felt like I've continued to build on my skills. So obviously things didn't work out the way I wanted to in the AFC Championship Game, but I think there's a lot of things you can learn from that."
Cundiff said his tryout Tuesday against Giorgio Tavecchio, 23, was about the 30th audition he has gone through during his career. The duel was held in windy conditions outside at the team's training facility.
"He had a good workout," Chudzinski said of Cundiff, adding he will practice kicking at FirstEnergy Stadium before Sunday. "He knows the division, and he's played here. He's kicked well in the preseason thus far. He's outstanding as a kickoff guy. I think he is 60 percent on his touchback percentage, and he has been in the Pro Bowl. He is a resilient guy. He's on our football team, and I have the utmost faith in him."
The New York Jets cut Cundiff last week, even though he made all three of his field-goal attempts and all four of his extra-point tries in the preseason. Meanwhile, the Browns cut veteran Shayne Graham, 35, and waived/injured undrafted rookie Brandon Bogotay, 24, with a groin injury. Graham experienced tightness in his back during warm-ups before the preseason finale, but Chudzinski said that had nothing to do with him being released.
Cundiff has played regular-season games with five NFL teams and spent time with several others. Despite the letdowns he has experienced, he's still going.
"I'm either really persistent or just dumb, one of the two," Cundiff said. "I feel like I'm extremely persistent. I feel like I've got the talent to play in this league at a high level. I proved that in 2010. I've had other years where I've done extremely well. So I feel like it's just a matter of getting the right timing, and when you get an opportunity, you have to take advantage of it. That's why I'm here."
Injury updates
Browns rookie outside linebacker Barkevious Mingo was limited again during practice Wednesday as he continues to recover from a bruised lung.
Mingo, the sixth overall pick in this year's draft, participated in some non-contact drills with the linebackers, backpedaling, running around cones and catching passes. However, he sat out once they started hitting a blocking sled. He also watched punting drills from the sideline.
Reporters were allowed to watch about the first 30 minutes of practice.
Browns CEO Joe Banner told the Beacon Journal on Tuesday that Mingo would undergo further medical testing this week to determine whether he'll be able to play Sunday. He said the Browns expect to know Mingo's status by today or Friday.
When asked Tuesday whether Mingo will play in the opener, Chudzinski said, "We'll wait and see."
Mingo is the main backup to Jabaal Sheard, who will start at right outside linebacker opposite Paul Kruger. Because Mingo might be ruled out, Sheard said he and Kruger have been doing extra conditioning to prepare for more playing time.
"On the side, you'll see me and Krug doing a little extra running," Sheard said. "You really have to get more running. You've got to be in shape."
Right guard Shawn Lauvao (high ankle sprain) was the only player on the Browns' active roster who did not practice Wednesday and Chudzinski ruled him out for Sunday. But there is some encouraging news for Lauvao — he strolled through the locker room Wednesday without the walking boot he had been wearing for the past month.
In addition to Mingo, starting right defensive end Desmond Bryant (back) was limited for the Browns.
Dolphins rookie defensive end Dion Jordan (shoulder) fully participated in practice.
"We'll decide at the end of the week how much of a role he'll have," Dolphins coach Joe Philbin said of Jordan, the third overall pick in this year's draft.
Talking trash
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith took a shot at his former offensive coordinator, Chudzinski, during a conference call Wednesday with Seattle media.
"The prior offensive coordinator [Chudzinski] really was positioning himself to just apply for that head coaching job," Smith said. "I think our offense suffered a little bit because of that.
"At times, we got cute. We did things that weren't necessarily us, like the under-utilizing of [running back] Mike Tolbert. But we're out of that. The past is the past."
Extra points
Chudzinski named wide receivers Davone Bess and Travis Benjamin "co-starters" in place of Josh Gordon, the team's No. 1 receiver who is suspended for the first two games of the season because he violated the NFL's substance-abuse policy. "They'll play a lot," Chudzinski said of Bess and Benjamin. "We'll rotate those guys quite a bit." … Although free safety Johnson Bademosi is listed as the top kickoff returner on the depth chart, Chudzinski wouldn't commit to him filling that role Sunday. Chudzinski said the team will continue to experiment with Bademosi, Benjamin, running backs Bobby Rainey and Dennis Johnson and cornerback Buster Skrine as kickoff returners during practices this week. … Chudzinski said guard Jason Pinkston, who was placed on short-term injured reserve Tuesday with a high ankle sprain, doesn't need surgery.

Latrobe girls lacrosse grows from start-up program to section contender in 3 seasons
It was only a few years ago that Alexa Stynchula and Katie Stallings were fledgling lacrosse players doing their best to pick up the nuances of the game as they made the leap from never playing organized lacrosse to competing at the high school level.
Consider the crash course passed with flying colors.
The Wildcats have gone from a sub-.500 team to a threat to any team in the span of three seasons. They improved from 5-11 in 2012 to 10-6 in 2013 and this season they stand at 8-2 with six matches to go.
"We used to just pretty much go out to maybe win," Stynchula said. "Now we have a set goal of wanting to win. That was never a goal before."
There was no youth program at the time, so the girls joined the high school team and learned on the fly. As their knowledge and skill accumulated, so did their ambition.
"We all continued to grow as a team," said Stallings, a midfielder who will play at St. Vincent. "It went from 'We want to win this game' to 'We want to win our section.' "
The seventh-highest scoring team in the WPIAL according to www.laxpower.com, Latrobe, which returned eight starters from last season, uses a patient and balanced attack to average 13.20 goals per game.
Coach Kaytie Russo said one of her team's attributes she is most proud of is that despite the lack of a superstar scorer, the team has found the net 131 times. Ten players have contributed to the team's 50 assists.
"It's really a combined effort," said Russo, who played four years at Latrobe before graduating in 2007 and moving on to compete at St. Vincent. "Our main philosophy is to play our game. Once we get the ball on offense, we're not in any rush to score until the opportunity's there."
What makes those numbers more impressive is that the Wildcats compete in Division II, Section 1, which features two of the top five scoring teams — Ellis School (No. 1 with 15.14 goals per game) and Hempfield (No. 5 with 13.75 goals per game).
The Wildcats defeated Ellis School on April 8 but suffered their only section loss to undefeated section leader Hempfield on April 15. They rematch both in early May.
With a solid foundation built, the Wildcats are looking to establish a legacy.
Seniors like Stynchula and Stallings have a section championship in their crosshairs this year. Just as important is keeping the winning tradition alive, which in turn will help the sport grow.
"It's a good feeling, winning," Stynchula said. "Every year that we move on, Latrobe lacrosse gets better."

Rich Scanlon's back to doing what he wants most – winning
Rich Scanlon is finally back home. He's where he belongs. For too long he wallowed somewhere else – on the bench, at the wrong position or, worse yet, on a losing team.
No more, though. Now he has regained his spot, his niche on the Syracuse football team.
He's on the field. He's on a winning team. He's a captain. In sum, he's once again dominating the game which, for the first 17 years of his life, never benched him, never failed him and certainly never beat him. Scanlon, who's No. 3 in the nation with 13.8 tackles a game, is back on top. He's taken last season's defense, which allowed an NCAA-worst 303.8 passing yards a game, and transformed it into one which allowed seven points to pass-happy Toledo on Saturday in a 27-point win.
'Last year, we weren't one of the best defenses around,' Scanlon said before the season. 'We need to pick this up and return this program to where it's used to being. Me being captain, I feel that personal responsibility.'
Responsibility. It wasn't on his shoulders for his first three seasons at SU. For the most part, he could handle that. But not the losing. It infuriated him.
He always won in football. Scanlon took winning so seriously he would yell to his teammates at Bergen Catholic High School that they would win their game – or else he'd kill them.
Luckily, no one had to find out if he was serious. In Scanlon's senior year, Bergen Catholic finished 12-0 and won the New Jersey state championship.
'He's just not gonna let them lose,' Bergen Catholic high school coach Fred Stengel said. 'He's just not. He'd intimidate the hell out of his teammates. And we had other guys (Indiana quarterback Matt LoVecchio, Michigan offensive lineman Jeff Gaston) who played with him who are at the college level now.'
The championship marked the pinnacle of his football career at that point. He was the New Jersey Defensive Player of the Year. He was first team all-league, all-county, all-state, all-everything.
Fast-forward three years. Scanlon's starting nine games in his junior year at SU for a 4-8 Big East laughingstock.
'The losing killed him,' Stengel said. 'Every time I talked to him, I don't want to say he was suicidal, but he was damn-near close to it. He hated it.'
It wasn't like high school. Scanlon had no control, really. It wasn't his team. Linebacker Clifton Smith and cornerback Will Hunter were the captains.
Now, though, the team is his – he's responsible for leading Syracuse's once-porous defense.
He's comfortable again. He's at middle linebacker. It's his natural position. He hadn't always been there. For three seasons he played outside linebacker, a position more suited for a pass defender than a run stopper like Scanlon.
Following his junior year, he got a taste of middle linebacker at the Division I level. During spring practice in 2002, a pectorals-muscle injury sidelined Smith, and Scanlon stepped in only to be relegated back to the outside when the regular season started. In part, Scanlon's 15-practice sampling convinced coaches to move him to the inside for this year.
He's 250 pounds, up from the 206 he came to Syracuse weighing. He's stopping the run. He's winning. He's dominating.
'It's hard to fool him,' linebackers coach Steve Dunlap said. 'He's like an elephant, he don't forget anything. It's a pleasure coaching him. Things come easy to him.
'He's a real tough kid. That's the whole persona. That's the mentality you want out of a football player. He's a gentleman off the field, but when he puts that football helmet on, he's a different cat. He's worked awful hard to get where he's at.'
Where he's at? Where is that exactly?
He's on the field playing inside linebacker for a winning football team. He's home.

Two isolates of a novel babuvirus causing "bunchy top" symptoms were characterised, one from abaca (Musa textilis) from the Philippines and one from banana (Musa sp.) from Sarawak (Malaysia). The name abacá bunchy top virus (ABTV) is proposed. Both isolates have a genome of six circular DNA components, each ca. 1.0-1.1 kb, analogous to those of isolates of Banana bunchy top virus (BBTV). However, unlike BBTV, both ABTV isolates lack an internal ORF in DNA-R, and the ORF in DNA-U3 found in some BBTV isolates is also absent. In all phylogenetic analyses of nanovirid isolates, ABTV and BBTV fall in the same clade, but on separate branches. However, ABTV and BBTV isolates shared only 79-81% amino acid sequence identity for the putative coat protein and 54-76% overall nucleotide sequence identity across all components. Stem-loop and major common regions were present in ABTV, but there was less than 60% identity with the major common region of BBTV. ABTV and BBTV were also shown to be serologically distinct, with only two out of ten BBTV-specific monoclonal antibodies reacting with ABTV. The two ABTV isolates may represent distinct strains of the species as they are less closely related to each other than are isolates of the two geographic subgroups (Asian and South Pacific) of BBTV.

Prints by Albert E. Milliken.
Dickinson College
An early view of Dickinson College, in Carlisle, Pennsylvania from an unusual and scarce group of engravings for The Ladies' Repository. This mid-nineteenth century periodical was produced in Cincinnati by members of the Methodist Church. It was a magazine "Devoted To Literature and Religion," containing articles, poetry, fiction, and notes of interest to its readers. One of its most interesting aspects was the inclusion of engravings. Many had a religious or "genre" theme, but others were topographical views of different parts of the United States. The magazine had a limited circulation, and as a result these prints are more scarce than most engravings of the period. Some of the views are based on images by W.H. Bartlett, but others were taken either from some of the large folio views of the period or drawn first hand for The Ladies' Repository. Whatever their source, these are among the most interesting and hard-to-find American views of the middle of the 19th century. $125
Fisk University
Founded by D. Lafayette Musselman in 1870, this Quincy, Illinois, school boasted of combining "Actual Business Practice with Theory" as well as having a "Normal Penmanship Department," all for qualifying graduates for "the duties of our best business houses and banking institutions."
This collection contains a form letter printed from Musselman's own handwriting, a logo sheet, a reprint of a laudatory article from the Quincy Daily News, a small card encouraging enrollment, and another example of Musselman's own penmanship and signature. $95
Medical College of Georgia
A lovely architectural rendering, this view of the Harvard University Law School shows the building after 1845 when a long transverse ell was added. The architecture of the building is carefully depicted, and a horse drawn bus that ran from Cambridge to Boston is shown in the foreground. Evidently this is a very scarce print as described in Hamilton Vaughan Bail's Views of Harvard, page 232, plate 62. Perhaps for an album or portfolio. The Boston Athenaeum has this print in a curious book titled Hartshorn's Commercial Tables by John Hartshorn (Boston, 1852) with others by Engel. The Athenaeum also has a lithograph by Engel with the lithographed decorative border.
See Pierce and Slautterback, Boston Lithography, p. 171 for information on Engel. We find this lithographer absent from the usual sources, such as Peters, Deak, Stark, and Whitehill & Kennedy. A scarce city view. $575
University of Kentucky
Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg
Ohio Wesleyan University
Originally founded in 1847 by the Church of the United Brethren in Christ, Otterbein University was named after Reverend Phillip Otterbein who was founder of the religious group in the late 18th century. The university is the second oldest coeducational school in the United States and is not far from Columbus, Ohio. The four year liberal arts college is well known for it theatrical arts program. The building depicted in the print is an excellent example of Victorian Gothic architecture. Known today as Towers Hall it was built in 1871 following a fire that consumed the previous building. In 1982, Towers Hall was restored and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
This print was produced in Cincinnati by Strobridge & Company who can trace its roots to 1849, to the founding of Elijah Middleton's print publishing enterprise. Middleton began producing lithographs in the 1850s, shortly before Hines Strobridge joined the firm in 1855. Strobridge achieved partnership in 1859, and took over the company completely in 1861. Producing battle prints for national sale, the firm thrived during the Civil War. Suffering a devastating fire in 1865, the company rebounded by making its printing processes even more efficient for high-volume commercial production. Most well-known for their theatrical and circus posters, they also participated in printing and selling the sort of stock print that sustained many printing businesses. This print is a fine historical document and a colorful decorative image. $975
University of Pennsylvania
At the turn of the century, a small New York art publisher, Littig & Company commissioned various artists to create a series of watercolor paintings of some of the nations most prestigious colleges and schools. From these water colors, engravings in photogravure were made on copper plates and distriubuted, in limited number, to the various schools and to a few art dealers throughout the country. Many may still be seen in the Administration building and in the offices of the Deans in many of the region's finest schools. These prints differs widely from other college prints in their panoramic quality: indeed, in many cases, they offer the only panoramic views available today. Each artist visited a campus and conferred with the Administration about future buildings authorized for the school. He would then draw these projected buildings into the campus scene, which was projected from an apparent altitude of about 300 feet. In some cases, this gives the viewer the impression that the scene was painted perhaps ten years later. On a few occasions, building plans were subsequently altered which resulted in an inaccurate depiction of the college. Many find these minor alterations historically interesting and amusing. $750
Princeton University
Chartered in 1837, Rush Medical College was named in honor of Philadelphia physician and Declaration of Independence signer Benjamin Rush. One of the first medical colleges in Illinois, it today is the medical school of Rush University in Chicago.
With a nice image of the school on the front cover and one of Cook County Hospital on the back cover, this piece of ephemera provides a fascinating look at the faculty of the institution, the subjects taught, fees, and other details. $40

The Georgia Female College was founded in 1836 near Macon, Georgia and opened in January 1839 making it the oldest women's college in the world. Operated by the Methodist Episcopal Church, it survived the American Civil War, having suspended operations only once for two weeks during Sherman's march through Georgia. In 1917 it became Wesleyan College. $65
Wesleyan Female College
Widener University
Dedicated on April 21, 1868, as Whitewater Normal School, and graduating its first class of teachers in 1870, in 1927 the school would be authorized to grant bachelor's degrees in education with the new name of Whitewater Teachers College. With the addition of liberal arts programs in 1951 it became Wisconsin State College–Whitewater, and was later designated a Wisconsin State University in 1964. In 1971, after the merger of the former University of Wisconsin and the former Wisconsin State Universities, the school became part of the University of Wisconsin System and has had the name of University of Wisconsin - Whitewater since then.
This pamphlet lists the students, curriculum, rules, fees, alumni and other information. $30
As with the many magazines on the nineteenth century, The Port Folio contained numerous illustrations, including this print of Clermont Seminary. This school was located at Heart Lane and Nicetown Lane, between Germantown and Frankford. It was a noted boarding school for boys, built in 1804 by two brothers, John Thomas and Charles Carre, in 1804. The located their school on the highest point between Germantown and the Delaware, a spot commonly called 'Mount Clermont.' $125

Contrary to popular perception, not all of the money approved as part of the federal governments emergency effort to save the American financial system in the fall of 2008 went to the big banks.

text: It can be even worse than you think - the anti-bullying programs can themselves wind up targeting some socially awkward kids. That kid is baited until he or she lashes out, and is then taken to the teacher. Since the original baiting seems like normal childish behavior, and often the socially awkward child can't explain exactly what set them off, it can be the bullied child who actually gets punished. One of many reasons we are planning to homeschool is that our families both skip between merely geeky and mildly autistic, but wherever you are in that curve, you are bully bait.

Arctic Blend® Antifreeze & Engine CoolantArctic Blend® ethylene glycol based prediluted 50/50 antifreeze/coolants feature the precise balanced factory-fill blend used by major auto and truck manufacturers. Ready-to-use products ensure proper chemistry when used at top-off for ultimate convenience and protection all in one. These premium quality antifreeze products are inhibited with Fleetguard® technology and formulated with virgin and equivalent purity recycled glycols and deionized water.
What is the difference between ethylene glycol and propylene glycol?
Ethylene glycol and propylene glycol are chemically similar. Ethylene glycol has the chemical formula C2H6O2. Propylene has the chemical formula C3H8O2. Ethylene glycol has a slightly higher boiling point than propylene glycol. Ethylene glycol is less expensive to produce and is more widely used. Propylene glycol is less toxic.
How does antifreeze differ from engine coolant?
Engine coolant is a generic term used to describe fluids that remove heat from an engine. Antifreeze is a more specific term used to describe products used to provide protection against freezing. Many people use these terms interchangeably, as we also do in this FAQ.
Can I add propylene glycol based antifreeze to my existing ethylene glycol based antifreeze?
Ethylene glycol and propylene glycol are chemically very similar and can be mixed without harming the cooling system. Ethylene glycol does have better heat transfer properties than propylene glycol. Adding propylene glycol does not make the ethylene glycol less toxic.
Is it true that cooling system problems are the leading cause of engine failures? Can using the right antifreeze help?
Yes, cooling system neglect is the leading cause of premature engine failure. Using the right antifreeze is only part of the solution. Poor water quality and incorrect dilution are root causes for most cooling system problems.
How often do I need to change my antifreeze?
You should always follow the vehicle or engine manufacturer's recommendations for antifreeze change intervals and cooling system maintenance.

In the game of fashion telephone, by which a rumour gets whispered to someone on the benches, which gets passed on, and so on, we have reached a new level of nuttiness: over the weekend, the New York Post speculated that Donna Karan's tears as she took her bow at the end of her 30th anniversary show for her main line (left) — which they identified as her DKNY second line — somehow indicated she might be leaving, a rumour that was picked up by British Vogue's website, and applied only to the second line – which then got picked up and spread by businessoffashion.com, a taken-seriously-by-the-industry website, which gives the whole thing a certain sheen of corporate credibility (it brought it to my attention, anyway).

Sometimes – often when a new designer takes the reins at a brand, thereby drawing attention to it – a style inexplicably takes off in a viral way, running rampant throughout the fashion world.
This happened after former YSL designer Stefano Pilati's first collection for the house, when he introduced the high-waisted tulip skirt to widespread scepticism. By the next season, high-waisted tulip skirts were ubiquitous (remember that?), and judging by last week's New York ready-to-wear shows, it seems like it is happening now with Christian Dior designer Raf Simons's gown-over-cigarette-trousers style, introduced in his first couture show last July.

Broadband to Go
That 'Other' Wireless: What Happened to My WiMax?
So where is WiMax, the long-awaited technology that has promised hefty 70-mbps maximum download speeds anywhere within a range of up to 25 miles?
It's coming, says Mo Shakouri, the WiMax Forum's vice president of marketing. With 350 member companies, the group is now working on hardware interoperability and making sure that carriers have infrastructure ready. While 2006 deployments will likely be limited to Europe, testing should be complete by the time you read this, and consumers across the pond should be able to install fixed WiMax routers (priced at $300 or less) by the middle of the year.
As for mobile WiMax--with chips integrated into phones, PDAs, and PC Cards--prototypes exist in South Korea, where the mobile technology is likely to be launched by the end of 2006. The rest of us may see the technology in late 2007, but Shakouri admits that 2008 is more realistic.

About the conductor
Sarah Hicks
SARAH HICKS' versatile and vibrant musicianship has secured her place in "the next generation of up-and-coming American conductors." Noted in The New York Times as part of "a new wave of female conductors in their late 20s through early 40s," she was named Principal Conductor, Pops and Presentations, of the Minnesota Orchestra in October 2009; in addition to conducting most pops and special presentations, she is instrumental in creating new pops productions, while also heading the innovative series "Inside the Classics" and "Common Chords." Hicks concurrently holds the position of Staff Conductor at the Curtis Institute of Music.
Throughout her career she has collaborated with diverse soloists, from Jaime Laredo and Hilary Hahn to Smokey Robinson, Ben Folds, Chris Botti, Idina Menzel, Natalie Merchant, John Mayer, and Tiempo Libre, whom she led in the world premiere of Rumba Sinfónica. Last summer with the San Francisco Symphony, Hicks premiered Disney's Pixar in Concert, a production for symphony orchestra that she will also premiere in Europe this winter. In 2011 she conducted Sting's two-month European tour of Symphonicity.
Hicks has guest conducted extensively both in the U.S. and abroad, including the Chicago, San Francisco, Atlanta, National, Detroit, Milwaukee, Columbus, Vermont, North Carolina, Charleston, Richmond, Delaware, and Des Moines symphonies as well as the Los Angeles, Fort Wayne, Reno, and South Carolina philharmonics along with the Philadelphia Orchestra and the Florida Orchestra. Hicks appeared at the 2012 World Economic Forum in St. Petersburg conducting the St. Petersburg Philharmonic in concert with Dmitri Hvorostovsky, Sumi Jo, and Jackie Evancho.
She is a committed proponent of the performance of new music; the 2010/11 season marked the beginning of an innovative project conceived by Hicks: the Musical Microcommission Project, in conjunction with the "Inside the Classics" series of the Minnesota Orchestra, is an initiative to bring a major new work to the stage of Orchestra Hall with funding via hundreds of "micro" donations from music lovers across Minnesota and beyond.

Google Earth for IPhone
Stephen Shankland reports in CNET that Google has
dived headlong onto Apple's highly regarded mobile phone with a full-fledge application, a handheld version of its Google Earth geographical software.I just downloaded it. It is awesome!!. I just took a screen capture of Mt. Everest shown on the right. Some of the coolest feature (quoting from CNET)
When the iPhone is tilted a certain angle out of horizontal, Google Earth reads data from the phone's accelerometer and adjusts your view accordingly, so you can look up into the sky.I think I have used this app way too much!! Now I have to recharge the IPhone battery :)
Also handy for folks whizzing around foreign cities in buses, taxies, rental cars, or trains, the iPhone app can show your changing location on a map.
Here's a video from Google on how to get started with Google Earth on your IPhone (video found at Google Earth Blog)

The Lucas Oil Slick Mist Family of Car Care products are set to assist Merrittville Speedway's Reunion Committee in welcoming back many old friends Saturday July 13th when the Thorold track celebrates it's 62nd Anniversary Season.
Once again hosted by Merrittville Speedway's Reunion Committee headed by Chairmen Rick Kavanagh, the night salutes 62 years of dirt racing excitement at one of Canada's oldest race tracks in addition to the annual Inductions into the L. St. Amand Enterprises Wall of Fame.
"As we race towards the 65th Season and beyond," anticipates Committee Chairman Rick Kavanagh, "we look forward to meeting with our former drivers and alumni … to catch up and reminisce … we couldn't do it without L. St. Amand Enterprises … Lucas Oil and CAA Niagara."
The Reunion Committee is also made up of former drivers - Jeno

The Reunion Committee has made their selections for the 2013 Wall of Fame and like since the start – each year's honorees do not find out until Reunion night.
A huge part of the night is all the reminiscing that takes place in celebration of the track's now 62 consecutive seasons. The Drivers of the past enjoy meeting with the fans of today – many that can remember the early days of the sport. Just as drivers today can be second or third generation, so too are some fans.
Prior to race time race fans can look forward to meeting many of the families that have been integral in the success of the sport with a Generations Display along the L. St. Amand Enterprises Wall of Fame. Current generations will have their 2013 Race Cars on display next to their elder's Wall of Fame Induction Signs.
Up until November of last year, L. St. Amand Enterprises had 2
major divisions including Landscape Supply and the Auto & Truck
division that Bob St. Amand Jr. now owns as a stand alone
company and has became St. Amand Auto & Truck Repair
Specializing in all aspects of Landscape Supply & Service, L. St. Amand Enterprises offers an excavating, trucking and backhoe service and complete landscape installations. In addition to lawn maintenance programs they carry complete lines of specialty garden soils and mulches, stone, sand, natural stone, precast walls and interlocking brick in any quantity available for pick up or delivery.
A bulk material spreader service that allows the material to be
put where it is needed is available. Flatbed and forklift
services are also available.

Hey people sorry for the late reply.
Chelle thanks a lot for your help. I'll take all that on board.
Only got one question and that about getting the working holiday visa. There seems to be loads of places to get them but I'm not sure which would be the right one if you get me.

The New York Knicks have their biggest needs at point guard and in their frontcourt. However, they maintain that they will be targeting the best player available with the 24th pick in the 2013 NBA Draft. Could swingman Reggie Bullock from North Carolina be talented enough for the Knicks to ignore their needs and bring him to New York?
Reggie Bullock is a 6'7", 200 pound shooting guard/small forward who attended North Carolina. He was ranked the sixteenth best prospect in the nation and is the third best shooting guard in the nation coming out of high school in the class of 2010.
He was named the 2009-10 Associated Press Men's Prep Basketball Player of the Year, was a 2010 Jordan Brand Classic Team Selection, a 2010 McDonald's All-American Team Selection, named 2010 North Carolina Gatorade Player of the Year and named to the Second Team All-ACC in 2013.
The main weapon Bullock has on offense his as a three-point threat. He can stretch the floor with the threat and nail spot-up jumps from all around the perimeter. In fact, he's one of the top three-point shooting small forward prospects in this draft.
Jared Zwerling of ESPNNewYork reports Bullock could be a good fit for the Knicks at number 24.
Last season, the Knicks were sometimes missing a mobile shooter in half-court sets, like a Kyle Korver or J.J. Redick type, who could run baseline to baseline and come off screens quickly and shoot with range. A player like that would've sparked more movement at times in the Knicks' offense, giving them a different look from downtown instead of mostly stationary setups.
Not only is Bullock one of the best shooters in the draft — from deep and coming off midrange screens — but he's also a skilled defender, which appeals to Mike Woodson. Last season, as a junior, the 6-foot-7, 200-pound Bullock hit 43.6 percent of his 3s and he guarded the opposing team's top perimeter scorer nearly every game, averaging 1.3 steals.
"I just try to be there on the catch and contest all shots," Bullock said after his Knicks workout on Thursday. "If I was to come in and be a Knick, I know that coach is definitely defensive-minded and I like playing defense."
Bullock also runs the floor very well and can be dangerous in the transition offense. He also contributes on the offensive boards. He has good speed and finishes around the rim with good body control. He's only an average ball handler and lacks the burst to beat his man to the paint consistently in one-on-one situations and in the pick and roll.
He doesn't have great explosiveness but he has good size for a small forward and nearly a 6'10" wingspan. On top of that, he has trouble creating his own shot. He seems destined to play a Steve Novak role as a long-range spot-up shooter.
However, Bullock's size and high activity level makes him a solid defender. At North Carolina he was asked to stop the opposition's best perimeter scorers. However, his lateral quickness is a concern with quicker NBA players who could very beat him off the dribble. However, he has nice potential on the defensive end of the floor. He also does a nice job rebounding on the defensive end.
Bullock looks like he has a future as a glue player and role player off the bench at the NBA level. He's a very good three point shooter, has good size, a solid defender and does the little things teams need from their reserves.
"I like how Ray Allen shoots the ball, I like how Danny Green shoots the ball, I like Paul George," Bullock said. "He defends, he shoots 3s, he comes off screens, he puts the ball on the floor. I like how Kawhi Leonard rebounds at his position, so I just try to pick a lot of pieces from all their games and just try to be Reggie Bullock."
Moving forward, Bullock should be able to add some definition and size to his frame, work on his dribbling ability and improve his mid-range game. If so, he'll be a contributor at the NBA level off the bench. He's someone to look for as a selection late in the first round.
However, it should be noted that Greg Barnes of Inside Carolina reports Roy Williams is very concerned about Bullock leaving college early to enter the NBA.
"We've had 12 guys leave early and all of them have been with my blessing, but I was more concerned and am more concerned about Reggie," Williams told a Tar Heel Tour crowd at the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center on Thursday. "I deal with them straight forward. I don't mess around. I tell them exactly what I think. I didn't think that was the best thing for Reggie to do, but that's what he wanted to do."
That being said, if the Knicks did decide to bring Bullock to New York there's little doubt that fellow Tar Heal Raymond Felton would take Bullock under his wing and help him transition to the next level.

sub-domain or sub-directory
Okay, After trawling through as many of the posts as I could and still couldn't find the help I need, I have to add a new topic.
I want to create and "umbrella" (eg. http://www.mynewsite.com) site/blog using the WP MS, and will install this in the root of the site, I have read and watched as many tutorials as possible and should be all good to install MS.
The next question is sub-domain or sub-directory?
It seems easier to create sub directories over sub-domains but what is the real difference.
As I understand it, when and if I create sub-directories the URL becomes http://www.mynewsite.com/new_folder?
Can I then purchase a new domain and point it to the sub-directory?
and then each sub-directory will be a separate site, but controlled through a single install of WP MS.
Have I got this right?
Or maybe the sub-domain is the way forward?
Thanks in advance.
oh by the way I found this great video of Boone Gorges which sort of helped me
- The topic 'sub-domain or sub-directory' is closed to new replies.

The big surprise was Faris El-Hadi. US President George Bush, Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Vice-President Dick Cheney would fully expect this millionaire, who is Iraq's sole agent for Samsung and many other consumer goods, to believe there would be more for him in the post-Saddam economy and democracy promised by Washington.
But in his city office, he was a passionate advocate not so much for President Saddam, as for Iraq: "You will find people here who don't agree with what the Iraqi Government is doing, but you will not find people who will cooperate with invaders.
Mr El-Hadi argued the same case as others in Baghdad: the US will have great difficulty fighting a war in Iraq - there will be a great human and financial cost.
But he made a particular issue of what he said was Washington's under-estimation of Iraqi nationalism and loyalty.
He said: "This army that they send needs to remember that installing a new puppet regime here will not be as easy as it was to install (Hamid) Karzai in Afghanistan; we are not weakened like the Afghans were.
"And I tell you that even if the US withdraws the protection it now gives to the Kurds in the north, they too will not cooperate because they know that in the eyes of all Iraqis they will be seen as traitors.
"The Americans do not care about me. They care about our oil and our mineral resources, so it will be very difficult for them to find people here who will cooperate with them or accept this way of dealing with the Iraqi issue."
Dr Saad Jawad, a professor of politics at Baghdad University who also is a foreign affairs adviser to President Saddam, brushed off the words of Mr Cheney like a summer fly, saying: "The US would be better to come to terms with us, because we are not a threat to anyone, certainly not to the US.
"Look at what is happening in Britain, the churches and the media are speaking against an attack, but Tony Blair wants to do it.
"In the US, the Congress does not want to do it, and yet Mr Blair and Mr Bush say they want to bring democracy to Iraq?
"But why? We don't mind your weapons inspectors. All we are saying is that there must be a timetable and that the inspectors should not be spies for America. And there is nothing left to inspect - the US attacks in 1998 destroyed all the factories and the inspection cameras that had been placed in them.
"We feel that to give the inspectors carte blanche to go anywhere is a freeway to everywhere in our country. We are not about to give up everything and start from zero again."
In the thriving computer district, shop-keeper Ahmed Ezidien mocked the US: "We are used to it and we enjoy the challenge of getting past these sanctions. How many hundreds of dollars do you pay for your Windows XP? We had two pirated copies of the software in the country even before it was launched in New York and now we have copied it for anyone who needs it for the equivalent of just $2.
"The US and your sanctions make us stronger. Look around you - are people queueing for petrol or for money as though they are panicked?"
Dr Jawad went on: "You tell the Americans that car accidents in this country kill more people than they do. So we are not frightened of them."
Despite sitting on 20 per cent of the world's oil resources, a decade of sanctions in the face of President Saddam's refusal to cave in to unfettered international weapons inspections has reduced the Iraqi economy to a hospital case.
But when a senior economic adviser to the regime, Dr Hammam al Shamaa, is asked how he felt about the prospects of war he responded drily: "There has been no obvious impact on the economy yet."

Carl Icahn surprised almost everybody when he completed his $7 per share tender offer deadline with control of 32% of Lionsgate, shares. Hollywood immediately feared the indie studio would be unable to continue business as usual, because Lionsgate's $340 million credit facility with JP Morgan Chase Bank contained a covenant that allowed the lender could revoke the credit line once an outsider accrued more than 20% of shares in a takeover bid. Today, Lionsgate announced that it has amended its revolving credit facility with JP Morgan Chase. The trigger threshold for Change of Control has been upped from 20% to 50% control or ownership of the Company's equity securities. This gives Lionsgate brass the ability to spending money while the Icahn Group takeover attempt plays out. The company notes that it keeps the same interest rate it had before, which is 2.5% above the standard bank borrowing rate (which is currently around 1.175%).
Lionsgate Reworks Terms With JP Morgan To Keep Cash Flowing (As Long As Studio, And Not Icahn, Controls 50% Of Shares)
6 Comments
Good job Felty & Burns…continue to fight this animal with every move you can make
Even Cuban's shares and those minority who tendered to Icahn put him nowhere near 51%
This nibbling along take over has been going on so long that I do not recall what the prize is.
Isn't Icahn a money guy plain and simple? Why is he so stuck on getting control of a indie company?
He wants it for his son, who would "run" the studio – a nightmarish proposal. It's cheap enough for him to take a run at.
A good friend of mine is an equity analyst. He broke it down this way after reading Liongate's 10-K:
The company's top brass manages the firm very well — "the best ran studio in town", in his own words. Icahn realizes the company is dirt cheap at $7/share so he throws up red herrings — bitching about a Bentley driven by an exec — because he wants to get his hands on the massive cash flow thrown off by the dvd division.
He's counting on dumb bunnies like Cuban — I don't give a damn about his net worth — to buy into his charade so that he can affect his plans. Yet another firm he seeks to soak and destroy.
I really wish Icahn would fuck off and leave this company alone. Yes, they have stumbled in a number of ways, but they have generally managed their business well in a tough economy. If he is successful, I think it will mean the demise of a solid independent, and that would be a real shame.
Aaaaaaaaand he's done. Icahn is not so deep into this that he will fight a proxy fight out spite. He will get out gracefully and quietly.
Or will he?
