DETROIT - Designed, created and built by the talented artists at The Parade Company, this year's parade features four new floats and a new papier-mâché "Big Head."
Art Van Furniture "Be What You Dream To Be" - The new float's theme was inspired through an essay contest for Michigan high school students and will be one of the largest floats to appear in the Parade. The float is approximately 100 feet long with the most consecutive sections (4) of any float in the Parade.
- Compuware "iWish4Detroit" - The new technology-based float is designed as an interactive "iWish4Detroit" Command Center. The Compuware Elves, donning the historic papier-mâché Elf-faced Big Heads, will utilize the mock workroom float to share the hundreds of "iWish4Detroit" tweets and messages they gathered from metro Detroiters during this Parade season on two giant LED screens placed 14-feet in the air.
PNC "Grow Up Great" - The new float is the Parade's first bilingual float in English and Spanish focused on educational math, science, art and music activities. Spanning nearly 100 feet long, the float depicts children and popular Sesame StreetTM characters. It also includes an animated 20-foot-tall musical jack-in-the-box.
- Skillman Foundation "Community Garden" - Lesly Nuñez, a 7th grade student at Clippert Academy, a Detroit Public School, was the grand-prize winning artist for the 20th Annual Skillman Foundation Float Contest. Her drawing titled, "Community Garden," was transformed into a float representing her dream neighborhood, complete with giant sunflowers, carrots, pumpkins, strawberries and more.
- Magic Johnson "Big Head" - The winning smile of NBA legend and entrepreneur Earvin "Magic" Johnson will grace historic Woodward Avenue on Thanksgiving morning in the form of a new papier-mâché "Big Head" for the 85th America's Thanksgiving Parade®.

A DEVOTED mother-of-two who has dedicated years to helping her football-mad daughters enjoy the sport is to receive a major parenting award.
Diana Golding, aged 44, of Turks Road, Radcliffe, beat off stiff competition to be named Tesco Mum of the Year.
A star-studded ceremony in London next month will see Diana, who is deputy office manager at Bury Church High School, be presented with her Supportive Mum award.
She was nominated by 22-year-old daughter Lucy in honour of the support she has shown to her and 18-year-old sister Holly's development in women's football.
Diana said: "To be nominated was lovely, a fantastic gesture and I was thrilled to bits. I didn't expect it one bit.
"The girls are accompanying me to the glamourous red carpet ceremony and it will be a nice afternoon of meeting and greeting some celebrities – we're all very excited."
Diana's involvement with women's football begun with giving lifts on match days and washing kit when Lucy was eight and playing for Radcliffe Girls.
Lucy went on to trial at Manchester United's Centre of Excellence before playing for Bury, where she was soon joined by Holly.
After being asked to manage one of the teams, Diana completed qualifications in Football Association coaching, safeguarding and first aid.
In 2008, Diana became chairman of the then-struggling Bury Girls and Ladies FC and dedicated herself to raising funds so the club could invest in new kit and equipment and better training facilities.
Diana's hard work and determination saw the club's number of teams increase from five to 12 and Bury Girls and Ladies now have 200 women on their books.
She said: "There are hundreds of girls out there who want to play football, they just need to know where to go.
"I wanted to do something about it so I contacted the county's football associations and asked what I could do, where can I go and who can help me with getting this off the ground?
"Football boosts girls' confidence and their self-esteem. The younger girls get to spend time with the older girls, who are positive role models for them."
Diana's story touched the hearts of the Tesco Mum of the Year Awards judging panel, including Bolton-born radio DJ Sara Cox, TV presenter Gabby Logan and Olympic gold medallist Denise Lewis.

The US investigation into JP Morgan Chase having hired the children of well-connected officials in China is one of those events that threatens to up-end a business practice that is long-established and widespread, yet hard to justify when it is placed under a harsh spotlight.
The problem is at least as much for China itself as for the Wall Street banks and financial institutions that have followed the local practice by trying to get themselves some good connections. It speaks to the justified resentment of many Chinese at the way the elite "princeling" class accrues wealth.
As it happens, the investigation has emerged in the same week that Bo Xilai goes on formal trial on charges of bribery, corruption and abuse of power. Mr Bo's downfall was a catalyst in exposing the extreme internal strains within the Chinese leadership caused by such issues. Read more

Electronic Paper: A Midwinter Afternoon's Lost Dream?
Ian Morrison, Harvard University
Friday, January 17, 2014, 3:30pm
Spanos Auditorium
This seminar is part of the Jones Seminars on Science, Technology, and Society series.
Likely you are reading this abstract on an electronic surface, possibly portable, but also likely stiff as stone tablet. What happened to the promise of electronic paper? Where is the Tom Cruise reading USA Today suddenly updating with the news he is a wanted man? Or Neal Stephenson's mediatron in The Diamond Age? Have we lost interest? Is it too difficult? Are our engineering skills too poor?
Six questions — fewer answers.
About the Speaker

Administrative tribunals play a significant role in almost every aspect of
legal practice in the public sector, as evidenced by the scores of decisions
rendered weekly by administrative tribunals throughout the commonwealth.
While each administrative agency may have rules or practices that are particular
to that agency, there are common considerations that apply to all administrative
proceedings, and can make the difference between success and failure in your
practice before state administrative tribunals. This program will review
those common considerations, as well as challenging issues that confront
administrative law practitioners.
Intended for attorneys who have at least some experience with administrative
law procedures and practice, this program will include discussion of the
following topics:

Studies of Influenza Vaccine and Tetanus-Pneumococcal Vaccine in HIV-infected Patients Receiving Interleukin-2
- Full Text View

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
This investigation is a sub-study of the 6-year multinational ESPRIT (Evaluation of Subcutaneous Proleukin in a Randomized International Trial) protocol. It will compare the effectiveness of the influenza (FLUVAC) and tetanus-pneumococcal (TEPVAC) vaccines in HIV-infected patients receiving interleukin-2 (IL-2) plus anti-HIV drugs with those receiving only anti-HIV drugs. IL-2 is a protein naturally produced by immune cells called lymphocytes. Lymphocytes from patients with HIV do not produce IL-2 normally. The ESPRIT trial is evaluating whether HIV-infected patients treated with antiretroviral drugs plus IL-2 have fewer serious infections and improved survival than those receiving only anti-HIV drugs.
Participants in this sub-study will be drawn from patients enrolled in ESPRIT. They must be 18 years of age or older, have HIV infection with no symptoms of significant HIV illness. They will be vaccinated against either influenza or tetanus and pneumococcus, as follows:
Potentially eligible patients will be screened for the FLUVAC study during an ESPRIT follow-up visit. Those who are eligible and agree to participate will have 10 ml (1 tablespoon) of blood drawn to assess baseline antibody levels and then receive the vaccination. They will be vaccinated annually for 3 years. A blood sample (10 ml) will be drawn 1 month after each vaccination to measure the immune response. Some of the blood drawn for this study will be stored and used for research purposes.
Participants will have 10 ml of blood drawn to assess their baseline antibody levels. They will receive two vaccinations (tetanus and pneumococcus) 12 months after enrolling in ESPRIT and another two vaccinations 24 months after enrollment. A blood sample (10 ml) will be drawn 1 month after each vaccination to measure the immune response. Some of the blood drawn for this study will be stored and used for research purposes.

DETROIT - Police throughout southeast Michigan are on the lookout for whoever is responsible for a string of jewelry heists between March 8 and March 17.
Four department stores have been hit. In three of the incidents, the suspect used a sledge hammer to break the glass and gain entry. While in the store the suspect headed directly to the jewelry counters, smashed the glass and placed thousands of dollars worth of jewelry into a large black bag that he was carrying. The suspect was in the store for less than two minutes in each incident and exits the same way that he entered.
The first burglary was committed on Friday, March 8 just before 4 p.m. at a department store located on Lohr Road in the city of Ann Arbor. The second incident took place on March 11 at 5:0 a.m. at a department store located on Racho Road in the city of Taylor. The third burglary was committed on March 16 at 3 a.m.at a store located on Telegraph Road in the city of Frenchtown. The suspects attempt was unsuccessful on Sunday, March 17 at a store located on West Road in the city of Woodhaven.

Seattle halted Tigres's 13-match unbeaten streak with a come-from-behind win in the Champions League quarterfinals.
At halftime the result looked unlikely. Leading 1-0 from the first leg, a largely reserve Tigres side took the lead in CenturyLink Field. Elias Hernández finished off the chance created, in part, by U.S. international Jonathan Bornstein, who found Alberto Acosta down the left flank.
However, a second yellow to Manuel Viniegra for kicking the ball away gave the Sounders a lifeline, and the MLS club took advantage, notching three in the second half.
"We like to participate in this game, but the level of referee that we have in the CONCACAF zone doesn't really match the expectation that a tournament like this should have," Tigres coach Ricardo Ferretti said.
Rookie DeAndre Yedlin scored his first professional goal with an impressive one-time volley off a half-cleared corner early in the second stanza. Djimi Traore made it interesting on the hour mark by hitting a screamer from 30 yards out that clicked off the crossbeam on its way in.
Eventually Eddie Johnson scored the essential third to overcome the away goals rule, beating Jorge Diaz de León at the near post.
"Obviously you can't say anything but outstanding things about all three goals," Seattle coach Sigi Schmid said. "Those were some fantastic goals by DeAndre, but Djimi Traore, and by Eddie Johnson."
Liga MX-leading Tigres lost for the first time since October to bow out of the competition. Seattle will now face either Santos Laguna or the Houston Dynamo.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 23/2/2013 (1641 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Every time I enter St. Vital Park, I give a silent nod to those far sighted individuals who, back in 1929, purchased the land from farmers with the intention of establishing a city park. Somebody was thinking.
When I grew up in Norwood in the '60s and '70s, St. Vital Park represented the southern end of civilization as it was then known. It was a uniquely forested area, a long drive up a narrow road with few, if any, streetlights.
For the last 30 years or so, I've lived south of the park, as it gradually became surrounded by the urban landscape of today. Fortunately, the park has weathered the changes well and remains a special place for many of us.
The duck pond at St. Vital Park is, without any exaggeration, the greatest place in the world to go skating. The workers do a great job looking after it. It has slopes, bumps, curves, the odd rut -- in other words, it's a perfect pond ice.
Skating was meant to take place outdoors, with the sun and the crisp wind bouncing off of your face. The night sky is always a pleasure to behold as you glide along in the evenings. Bundle up and get out there; you'll always feel better for having gone out and gotten some exercise.
As part of my job, I have the pleasure of taking groups of kids to the park for skating, tobogganing and outdoor games in the forests every year. Even though most of them live nearby, for many of them it's the first time they've ever been there for winter activities. At the end of their day, the kids have that warm and happy glow that signifies time well spent.
Come spring, the duck pond becomes the focal point for nature lovers, who flock -- along with the ducks and geese -- to its shores. You're not really supposed to feed the birds, of course, but they are kind of hard to resist. They are awfully graceful and wonderfully calming and relaxing to watch as they scoot along the water. Moms and little ones, geese and human, help keep an eye out for one another on warm spring days.
Another spring park ritual is the dance of the teenagers of the species. Somehow, accidentally on purpose, that football or Frisbee launched by groups of young men just seems to end up landing near where the groups of young ladies are taking their first sun rays of the year. The object is slowly returned, just happens to fly back again, much banter is exchanged and the dance continues. It does bring back a deep inner smile and a thankfulness that those awkward days are long since gone.
An elderly couple used to stroll through the park early every morning. I'd see them when I'd cycle my laps around the quiet park roads before going off to work in the morning. On one of my laps, I'd noticed a bunch of empty beer bottles left on the grass by some late-night rowdies. On my next lap around the park, there was the couple quietly picking up the bottles and placing them in a nearby garbage bin. This simple, elegant act of stewardship spoke volumes to me of the reverence that some people hold for this special place.
Not far from the duck pond is one of the beautiful areas where new brides and grooms go to get their wedding pictures taken. Near that spot, on a warm day in April, many, many years ago, the most beautiful woman in the world said yes to me. Where else but in St. Vital Park?
If you're in search of a peaceful place, stroll the fitness trails through the forests. You'll see lots of birds and animals and you'll rarely be interrupted by anyone actually exercising. Take a walk in the park on a warm winter day after one of our long winter cold snaps has broken. People will smile and say hello, and you'll find yourself doing so in return.
The point of all this writing is simple. Just take the time to go to the park. It brings out the best in people. It will bring out the best in you.
Geoff Nuytten loves being active in the great outdoors. He has taught school for 33 years in Norwood, St. Boniface and St. Vital. If you happen to see him skating, walking or cycling in St. Vital Park, by all means, say "Hello."
Do you have a
favourite place in Winnipeg?
We'd like to hear about it. There are no prizes to be won, but if you're published, you get to bask in the admiration of your friends and feel the glow that comes from doing something nice for your city.

NEW YORK - Craig Biggio, Jeff Bagwell and Roger Clemens were on the ballot for the baseball Hall of Fame, but none of them made it in this year.
Steroid-tainted stars Barry Bonds and Sammy Sosa were also denied entry to baseball's Hall of Fame with voters failing to elect any candidates for only the second time in four decades.
Bonds received just 36.2 percent of the vote, Clemens 37.6 and Sosa 12.5 in totals announced Wednesday by the Hall and the Baseball Writers' Association of America. They were appearing on the ballot for the first time and have up to 14 more years to make it to Cooperstown.
Biggio, 20th on the career list with 3,060 hits, topped the 37 candidates with 68.2 percent of the 569 ballots, 39 shy of the 75 percent needed. Among other first-year eligibles, Mike Piazza received 57.8 percent and Curt Schilling 38.8.
Biggio's former teammate, Jeff Bagwell, slipped to 59.6 percent and third overall.
Jack Morris led holdovers with 67.7 percent. He will make his final ballot appearance next year, when Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine are eligible for the first time.
This was the first time since 1996 that no players on the ballot made it into the Hall of Fame.

Not all vitamin E is created equal. Most natural vitamin E on the market is the single isolated vitamer known as alpha-tocopherol. I use (and formulated) the broad spectrum form of vitamin E from Palm Fruit by Botanical Craft. It contains atleast 10 different vitamers from the vitamin E family and is associated with positive effects on cardiovascular, brain, and skin health. The same cannot be said for alpha-tocopherol alone, which is associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular disease, stroke, and cancer.
good for skin
Good for skin.
Good for skin.
Good changes so far This has definitely eased the number of lung infections i commonly get.. And believe it or not, gives me a big boost of energy. I really only felt the energy when taking 2000IU at once... Anything less then that and it's not as effective.
Beautiful Soft Skin My chiropractor mentioned that I try taking vitamin E for my nerves. After a week of taking it, I didn't notice any difference to my nerves but there was one big difference I noticed: My skin. It was so soft and smooth I couldn't beleive the difference. My chest has always been slightly oily with small pimples and after taking the vitamin E, it all disappeared. Being a man I kept it to my self, but WOW was there a big difference.
Vitamins and lupus These are the Vitamins that I have found to be effective in the treatment for lupus, Vitamin E-800mg, vitamin B12-1000mg, vitamin C-2000mg, vitamin Potassium Gluconate 595mg, vitamin Calcium with vitamin D-1200mg, one a day mult. vitamin cholesterol Plus-one a day-it has folic acid 400mcg works for heart. I have been in remission since May of 1999 when I started these vitamins- went off these vitamins for awhile-started having joint pain, burning in feet and toes, eye problems, and muscle cramping, fatigue, hearing loss problems, had heart attack in 2000, high blood pressure problems. Started back on the vitamins a week ago and now I am feeling much better, a lot better- my eyes are much better and can see now good, muscle pain is better, no joint pain, extreme fatigue is better, not near as tired, these vitamins work for me. I am truely greatful for these vitamins, they are Great. And are not that expense and well worth the money. You can research it for yourself on the computer as to what these vitamins are effective for-vitamin E natural-anti-inflamatory-and anti-oxidate and good for vascular problems also good for cartlege in bone joints from deterating, b12 good for proper heart function, vitamin C fights off infection-calcuim helps with the bones loss, potassium is for vascular problems (heart function) and muti-vit. folic acid, heart function and vascular problems.
Vitamin E. Figure it is helpful as a preventative measure to manage my asthma effectively.

A SUMMER soccer tournament exclusively for under-21 teams is set to be a sizzling success, according to organisers, writes Simon Parkinson.
The nine-week event, to be held on the new 3G pitch at Oaklands Park, is being staged to mark the return of the Bristol Under-21 Combination League at the start of September.
Tournament hosts Gloucestershire FA have teamed up with the new league's officials to put on the football fest, which will see a series of nine v nine games, lasting 50 minutes each, performed every Tuesday evening at the recently-revamped centre in Almondsbury, starting on Tuesday, June 3.
Many of the teams entering the under-21 league campaign are expected to take part, including sides associated with Longwell Green Sports, Nicholas Wanderers, Bradley Stoke, Mendip and Ashton and Backwell United, who have all expressed an interest in signing up along with others.
The GFA and 19-year-old Bristol U18 Combination League, which is overseeing the inclusion of a new under-21 section, spoke recently of the need to offer maturing teenage footballers a smoother pathway into full-blown adult football through the advent of under-21s competition.
The Combination League is optimistic at least ten teams will join up for the 2014-15 season and is issuing invitations to even more clubs to take part before the start.
League secretary Ken Howitt said: "We're extending our offers to any teams in the region within a sensible travelling distance, not just those within the GFA county confines. Clubs themselves have identified a need for such a league and we're looking to run it on Sundays with 2pm kick-offs, as we do with our under-18s.
"That said we're prepared to be flexible and if clubs agree with one another to kick off earlier, or maybe in midweek, we'll certainly cater for such changes.
"We're also looking to bring repeat (rolling) substitutions into the games, in order to give as many players a chance of being involved as possible."
GFA football development officer Joe Goulding added: "We're delighted with the response so far. This new league presents a great opportunity for clubs to retain their young players and members. It is essentially for players who have finished as under-18s but there's sure to be the occasional 16 and 17-year-old involved.
"Our summer tournament is designed to support the launch of the under-21 league and we're keen to hear from any team, irrespective of whether they have already signed up for it, wishing to take part."
Clubs eager to register for the tournament should call Joe Goulding at the GFA on 01454 615888, or email email@example.com.
For information about joining the under-21 league, contact Ken Howitt on 01454 314822 (email firstname.lastname@example.com).

AN INCREDIBLE 13-year-old who sheared her 3ft 4in long locks for Prospect Hospice has opened the way for many more to follow her example and shave their heads in aid of thousands of terminally-ill patients.
Carly Bohane, of Eldene, took the bold step in memory of her father Danny, who died at the age of 43 of bowel cancer at the Wroughton charity. She was just nine months old.
Danny, a well-respected Honda production co-ordinator, would have celebrated his 56th birthday on Friday.
Although overcome with tears as the hairdresser prepared to cut off her waist-length ponytail, the teenager did not allow her fear to overwhelm her.
Her determination paid off tenfold as she raised £1,541 for the hospice that cared for her father in his last moments – £1,000 more than her initial target.
"I wanted to do something for Prospect and what made me want to do this was seeing Jessie J shave her hair," she said. "Before it I was really terrified and I cried. When she cut off my ponytail I thought 'It's happening, I can't back out.' It was a shock to see all my hair fall.
"But it's actually not as scary as you think it will be. It felt nice when it was happening. I always had long hair and I had it trimmed but I never had a proper haircut so it felt different. Now I'm not really sure how I look. I think it's a bit weird but that's because I'm not used to it."
Carly before the big chop
Her head shave at Eldene Centre even prompted a club member to get a Mohawk in exchange for donations to Carly.
Her mother Sue, 46, was tremendously impressed with her daughter's resolve and courage.
"It was very emotional," she said. "Everybody was crying. There was a point where I thought she wouldn't do it. She was crying and shaking.
"My daughter Stevie works in Sunderland and said she couldn't come but she surprised us all by coming anyway. Stevie held her hand the whole time and she did it.
"I am mega proud of her especially because girls her age are really into their hair and makeup. When she told me she wanted to do it she said 'It's only hair, it's going to grow back'.
More residents inspired by Prospect's work are planning to have their heads shaved for the Adver's 160 Appeal in aid of the charity. Matt Doyle, of Stratton, will be one of the first fundraisers to step into JJ's salon in Havelock Square on July 1 to have his hair completely shaved.
"I'm going to miss my hair and my budgie will too because he sits on my head and he won't be able to do that anymore."
Zurich Community Trust will match every pound donated to Matt by 50 per cent. To sponsor him go on www.justgiving.com/matt-doyle1 or text veev82 with the amount you wish to donate to 70070.
- The Adver is inviting Swindonians to have their heads shaved for the 160 Appeal. To sign up or for more details contact Rachael Youd at email@example.com.

Surat Az-Zukhruf, Verse 63
And when Jesus came with the clear signs, he said, 'I have come to you with wisdom and to clarify for you some of the things about which you have differed. Therefore have piety of Allah and obey me.'
Jesus, the son of Mary, "...came with the clear signs", so he came with the commandments of Allah and said, "I have come to you with wisdom and to clarify for you some of the things about which you have differed." So people differ. The commandment of the Qur'an corrects people who have the wrong information. This doesn't mean that there is a commandment of the Qur'an, but then Allah dislikes it and changes it and then He dislikes it and changes it again; that is something out of question. If there is a commandment in the Qur'an then this is certain.
These people suspect that and say "Allah sends His command and then dislikes it – may Allah forbid -and sends another command." This is absolutely not true. Why would the commandment of Allah be cancelled? There is no commandment in the Qur'an which is not available. This is unbelievable. How dare you?
"The commandments that have been forgotten in the past" says Allah. "I will remind you of them or send you the better." says Allah. The explanation of the verse is; during the wars going on in those days, Allah continuously showed His methods. These were brutal people, they were merciless, they performed night raids, they put Muslims to the sword. Almighty Allah revealed to our Prophet (saas) about what they needed to do to cope with them. Our Prophet (saas) either made his decisions on his own or Allah sent His revelations to him. Of course, what he decided on his own was also inspired to him by Allah, but the other one was something entirely different; it was a direct revelation from Allah. Our Prophet (saas) was more relieved when Allah clarified things to him via revelation; Revelation is always clear. For example, one morning our Prophet (saas) was thinking what he needed to do and then the verse came to him from Allah, which commanded him as to what he needed to do. Then he obeyed the command. This verse was about the war going on at those days, but now people mistakenly think that they need to implement this verse everywhere.2013-05-28 21:29:16

Vilsack, King spar over Congress pay
Animated audience of 600 vocal during spirited Spencer debate
By DOUGLAS BURNS
, Staff Writer
Monday, September 10, 2012
SPENCER — Democratic congressional candidate Christie Vilsack Saturday said U.S. Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, should refrain from taking a pay raise until the national budget is balanced. What's more, she challenged King to return increases to his congressional compensation over the past decade.
"He has taken five pay raises during some of the worst economic times in this country," Vilsack said. "I have said I would not take a pay raise in Congress until the budget is balanced."
Since Jan. 1, 2009, the compensation for most U.S. representatives and senators has been $174,000, according to the non-partisan Congressional Research Service. In 2003, when King was sworn in as a representative for the current 5th District, members of Congress earned $154,700.
Vilsack raised the issue during a spirited debate in Spencer at the Clay County Fairgrounds. Held in the early evening in a convention center where the Iowa State-Iowa football game had just been broadcast, the 4th District debate showcased an often animated and boisterous crowd of about 600 people. King and Vilsack, of Ames, are running to represent a sweep of 39 counties in western and central Iowa, newly drawn post-census political territory.
King countered Vilsack's charge on congressional salaries by saying he had received only "cost-of-living" increases, not actual pay hikes.
"No member of Congress has received a pay raise since I've been there," King said. "There are adjustments because of cost-of-living formulas, just like Social Security, just like the private sector. The private sector has grown 3.45 percent a year. Social Security has grown 2.45 percent a year. Members of Congress pay has gone up 1.32 percent per year."
King said his pay has been frozen since 2009.
"I think you should give it back," Vilsack said.
Some of King's strongest comments in the debate came on the proposed farm bill, which is languishing in Congress. King said a responsible farm bill should include cuts to the food stamp program and improved monitoring of it.
"We had a fella that bailed himself out of jail with his EBT card, his electronic benefits transfer card," King said. "We have tattoo parlors advertising in neon lights saying they'll tattoo you, and you can pay for it with your food stamp card. We have to do something about this."
Vilsack said 93 percent of the people who receive food stamps are senior citizens, children and working poor.
Vilsack had a strong contingent of supporters, but conservative northwest Iowa is King's base, and the responses to answers showed King with a clear advantage in attendance. That said, Vilsack sought to use the debate to cast the race as one between two different styles of public service as much as substance.
"We have to have the temperament to be able to get to the room and compromise so we can move forward, and I don't think Congressman King is capable of that," Vilsack said.
She charged that King uses his position in Congress to seek national attention on outlets like FOX News where he talks about hot-button social issues, fleeting daily ideological scuffles, and not economic development in Iowa. Specifically, Vilsack wondered about King's ability to forge coalitions with a record of provocative statements.
"How can we expect in Iowa, when we have a disaster on the Missouri River, how can we except anyone else in this country to come to our aid, when the congressman from Iowa has said that his proudest vote is that he denied access to relief for the people who were affected by Katrina," Vilsack said.
She referenced a 2009 King comment.
"Some of the big votes that I've thought about, some of the jury's still out," King told The Hill, a Washington, D.C., political newspaper. "And at this point, maybe I'd answer that question another way, probably the singular vote that stands out that went against the grain, and it turns out to be the best vote that I cast, was my 'no; vote to the $51.5 billion to (Hurricane) Katrina. That probably was my best vote. But as far as doing something different again, I don't know."
King said many Iowans can provide testimony that his office is intensely engaged in constituent services, that staff members have both a "long leash" and "green light" to help people regardless of party.
"There are a lot of people in this room that have sat down in a room with me and talked business," King said. "We've done a lot of good things over the last years."
Vilsack repeatedly mentioned King in her answers to panelists' questions. King referred to Vilsack by name only a few times.
On Social Security, King said Congress should consider raising the eligibility age to 67.
What's more, means testing Social Security benefits based on one's wealth is "a discussion this nation should have," King said.
King said he doesn't want to see cost-of-living adjustments for Social Security lowered.
Vilsack said the best thing Congress can do for Social Security is to create jobs so more people are supporting the existing system. She has opposed raising the retirement age.
King and Vilsack differed in their opinions on President Barack Obama's recent issuance of an executive order providing work opportunities and protection from deportation for younger undocumented residents.
Vilsack called the move a good first step.
"If you're willing to fight and die for your country, then you should have an opportunity to live in this country," Vilsack said.
The nation needs comprehensive immigration reform, but King is clearly interested in using the issue for political ends, Vilsack said.
"There are people in this state every day who say that to me they're embarrassed when you go on national TV," Vilsack said. "It is not right to refer to other human beings as if they're animals and to talk about them in terms of cattle prods, and talk about them as stray cats and dogs. That's not acceptable. That's not how we act in Iowa."
At a May event in Pocahontas King talked of immigrants as being like dogs in a litter.
"You want a good bird dog? You want one that's going to be aggressive? Pick the one that's the friskiest, the one that's engaged the most and not the one that's over there sleeping in the corner," King said in Pocahontas.
"We've seen really how adept the people on the left are, haven't we," King said in the Saturday debate. "They can take a direct compliment and turn it into an insult and be offended. There are a lot of people across this country who get on their Internet each morning and they look around and they think, 'What can I be offended by?"
King said the left is peopled by "professional hyper-ventillators."
"We need to pull ourselves together, not divide ourselves," King said.
King, who started a construction company in the early 1970s, said he just doesn't buy the liberal line that undocumented workers are needed for the economy.
"It's hard to convince me that there's work Americans won't do," King said.

King is one of the Republican extremists in the House who have been holding the farm bill hostage to their demands for steep cuts in the supplemental nutrition assistance part of the bill. King has spouted wild charges about misuse of the program. The examples he cited have nothing to do with nutrition assistance or the farm bill. EBT SNAP cards can only be used to purchase food and non-alcoholic beverages.
The cards may also be used for temporary assistance to needy families. The cash can be used for anything. That's the source of King's misleading claims. The TANF program has nothing to do with the farm bill.

MARCOS Alonso has been centre of attention ever since news broke that Serie A giants Fiorentina had been thwarted in their attempts to lure him away from the Reebok.
Attention from Italy might well have been a distracting factor heading into the FA Cup clash with Everton, but Dougie Freedman paid tribute to his young full-back for pulling out a top-drawer display despite all the furore over the Viola's rejected bid.
The result may have gone against Wanderers as John Heitinga's late strike put them out of the competition in the most heartbreaking fashion.
But the 22-year-old, whose contract runs out in the summer, produced the performance of his Bolton career to raise hope that even if he is to leave, his mind is still squarely on the job at hand.
"He was fantastic," Freedman said of the Spaniard. "Marcos's contract, he had an offer (from Fiorentina) but we turned it down, but he looked me in the eye and said 'if I stay, then I'll give you 100 per cent'.
"I can't sing his praises enough because fair play to the kid, he's taken it the right way."
Alonso still has only 16 first team appearances to his name since signing from Real Madrid in July 2010 but is now enjoying the longest stretch of first team football since he arrived in England.
Freedman believes he is one of a handful of fringe players who are now ready to become regular contributors to the cause.
"When I arrived Marcos just needed an opportunity," he said. "I felt one or two of the fringe players were maybe not that fit but we've worked very hard for six weeks, giving them a pre-season really, and now we're getting the benefit of seeing these players play.
"When I get asked the question next week, why am I changing the team again? I'll tell you the answer – it's because we need to get these players in the team again."
Freedman rates his side's performance against Everton as one of the best in his four months at the club, even though his joy was obviously tempered by the Toffees' late winner.
"It was difficult to take, obviously," he said. "I feel for the fans a little bit for the fans because we'd put in a fantastic performance against a top-six Premier League side and we were unfortunate to lose the game.
"I felt we started nervously for the first 20 minutes and started nervously. We went behind deservedly.
"But that wasn't a setback and didn't affect us because it was possibly one of the best hours since I have been here. We created chances and got a goal back. We looked the more likely side to win but in the end, the small details that have been missing – possibly over the last couple of years – has let us down."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 16/11/2012 (1740 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Phoenix Sinclair began to fall through the cracks of Manitoba's child-welfare system mere months after she was born to parents with a history of violence and substance abuse and five years before she was beaten to death.
Social workers failed to monitor the family for months at a time and failed to investigate after the girl was brought to hospital with an infection from an object that had been embedded in her nose for three months, according to a document that was only fully disclosed on Friday.
The document is a 2006 internal review of Phoenix's death by Winnipeg Child and Family Services agency. The report has been kept secret, but some portions are now being discussed at a public inquiry into the case.
"From October 2000 to the last contact with this family, actual service was almost non-existent," the review says.
"There was no recorded contact between October 2000 and February 2001, even though the service agreement signed on Sept. 5, 2000, states 'meeting with the worker on a regular basis."'
The review notes other long periods of time when social workers had no direct contact with the family in 2002 and 2003. Sections of the review that deal with the following two years leading up to Phoenix's death in 2005 remain confidential.
The five-year-old girl was killed in June 2005 by her mother, Samantha Kematch, and her mother's common-law husband, Karl McKay. The couple were convicted of first-degree murder.
Phoenix died not long after she was removed from a foster care home and returned to Kematch.
The inquiry, which has heard five days of testimony so far, is examining how Phoenix was failed by child welfare despite numerous warning signs from the moment she was born in April 2000.
Her mother and biological father, Steve Sinclair, had both been in foster care and had a long list of troubles.
Kematch had stolen cars, had hung out with gang members and had run away from foster homes. Months after she turned 18 and became too old to fall under child welfare, she gave birth to Phoenix.
Sinclair was aggressive and addicted to alcohol.
Despite that, social workers tried to reunite the family after taking Phoenix from the couple days after her birth. They developed a plan that required Kematch and Sinclair to take parenting classes, visit Phoenix weekly and have an in-home support worker. Kematch was also to undergo a psychological assessment.
By Sept. 5, 2000, the girl was back with her parents on the condition that they have regular visits from social workers to ensure she was being properly cared for.
The review obtained by The Canadian Press says that didn't happen.
Starting in October, there was no recorded contact with the family for four months. A social worker did visit the family in February 2001, but that was followed by more inaction.
"There was no direct contact between Feb. 9, 2001, and July 4, 2001, even though the worker stated in a Feb. 9, 2001, meeting 'it is necessary to meet as they are an open file and we need to monitor and assess their family situation,' " the review states.
A social worker did meet with Sinclair on July 6, 2001, and committed to meet with him weekly. That plan fell by the wayside as "there appears to be no direct contact between July 6, 2001 and March 27, 2002 ... although two attempts were made," the review reads.
On Feb. 26, 2003, social workers were called by Children's Hospital. Phoenix had an object in her nose -- Kematch and McKay's murder trial was told it was Styrofoam. She had recently been handed to a family friend for care. According to the review, the object had been in the young girl's nose for three months and an infection had developed.

Lack of run support hurts Marcum, Mets
Contributions from Byrd, Ankiel not enough in series opener vs. Reds
NEW YORK -- Terry Collins' experiments require nothing more than a pen, a piece of paper and a healthy dose of faith. The Mets' manager goes to the ballpark every morning, places a blank lineup card on his desk and tries to construct an offensive machine out of the players at his disposal.
More often than not, his maneuvers have worked -- see Daniel Murphy's game-winning home run from the leadoff spot on Sunday for the latest bit of evidence. But shifting names on a card can only make so much difference, as the Mets demonstrated yet again on Monday in a 4-3 loss to the Reds at Citi Field.
Despite a key three-run homer from Marlon Byrd and a solid contribution from Rick Ankiel, the Mets could not score enough to back starter Shaun Marcum.
"Fortunately tonight, some of the things we thought about worked," Collins said. "But it has been difficult."
Even while winning three games in four tries to end their most recent road trip, the Mets averaged fewer than four runs per game. They entered Monday's contest averaging 4.2 runs per game over the season, a number that has decreased steadily since the early days of April.
With those stats in mind, Collins has done his best to maximize contributions up and down the lineup. His key move on Monday was shifting Ankiel into the two-hole and batting Byrd fifth, basing those decisions on their strong career numbers against Reds starter Johnny Cueto.
It worked about as well as he could have hoped. Ankiel finished 1-for-3 with a walk, sparking the Mets' only run-scoring rally, in the third. And Byrd came through with his game-tying homer, putting the Mets in position to win.
But the Mets, as Collins noted, have "got to play pretty perfect baseball" given their offensive deficiencies. And they continue to fall well short of that standard.
Marcum might have had an easier go of it had Ike Davis not committed a key obstruction infraction on defense in the first inning. With Shin-Soo Choo on first, Joey Votto lined a single to right field. Byrd corralled the ball and appeared to throw out Votto, who was attempting to extend his hit into a double, but first-base umpire Ron Kulpa ruled that Davis obstructed Votto's path around the bases, awarding Votto second base and charging Davis with an error.
The next batter, Brandon Phillips, ripped a two-run single to give the Reds their first lead. Jay Bruce followed with an RBI double before Marcum recovered to retire 10 in a row from there.
Marcum completed six innings, letting the Reds take the lead for good on Bruce's shot to lead off the sixth. He struck out seven, walked one and allowed six hits.
"We've been through this now for what, five starts?" Marcum said. "When I get hit, it's location. I made four or five mistakes today and they all got hit, so I've got to limit the mistakes."
More contention surfaced in the seventh inning, when home-plate umpire Tom Hallion ruled that a LaTroy Hawkins pitch hit Phillips on the hand -- not the knob of the bat, as replays suggested. After Hawkins escaped a bases-loaded jam unscathed, he and Hallion exchanged words. Hallion promptly ejected Hawkins and also tossed Collins, who went out to argue for the third time in the game.
In his first outing back from a five-week stay on the disabled list, Cueto pitched around trouble throughout the early innings until Byrd tagged him for the game-tying homer in the third inning. And that was that. Cueto responded to the homer by retiring the final eight batters he faced, sparking a run of 12 consecutive outs from Reds pitchers.
"I knew he couldn't keep getting into trouble walking guys without centering one," Reds manager Dusty Baker said of Cueto. "That's what happened to Byrd. He got that slider up. But he came back and pitched well after that."
Being locked down by Cueto and the Reds' bullpen caused the Mets to lament their early missed opportunities even more -- particularly in the first inning, when Davis grounded out to leave the bases loaded. Entering the game in a 1-for-30 funk, Davis finished 0-for-3 with two strikeouts and the obstruction error, and was double-switched out of the game after six.
Afterward, Collins once again staved off talk of demoting Davis to Triple-A Las Vegas, while Davis lamented that "either it happens or it doesn't -- I can't talk about it every day."
What's clear is that if the Mets do make a move, they will do so because their offense needs a jolt. Remember that stat of 4.2 runs per game this season? The Mets have averaged only 2.8 over their last 14 contests, which results in a demand for perfection in every other aspect of the game.
"You hope to have two, three guys hot at one time in the lineup," Byrd said. "We haven't had it. We're just going to keep searching."

Iwakuma handles A's as Mariners secure series win
Righty finishes first half of season with 2.98 ERA after eighth victory
SEATTLE -- Warm weather, excited crowds, great pitching and a pair of wins over their division rivals. What more could have gone better for the Mariners the past two nights at Safeco Field?
For Hisashi Iwakuma, just one more out Saturday would have been the perfect scenario, as he pitched 8 2/3 scoreless innings before a two-run homer by Brandon Moss prevented his first Major League complete game and shutout as Seattle topped the A's, 6-2, for their second straight win against the American League West leaders.
But Iwakuma and the Mariners aren't worried about perfection at this point, though they'd be thrilled to finish off a series sweep now as they close out the first half Sunday with their final game against the club they're chasing in the division standings.
Things are going about as well as could be imagined for a Seattle club whose 51 wins are tied for the fourth-most in franchise history before the All-Star break. Iwakuma even took the time to relish his standout performance on his first bobblehead day with the Mariners after allowing just the two runs on five hits with no walks and eight strikeouts in front of a crowd of 39,204.
"Just looking at the results today, I'm very happy with that," Iwakuma said through translator Antony Suzuki. "Having that being on the bobblehead day is special. We had a lot of fans out there, it was very electric, and [my] last game of the first half, I wanted to finish strong."
All-Stars Kyle Seager and Robinson Cano supplied the offensive support for Iwakuma, with Cano ripping a three-run homer in the eighth after Seager's two-run shot in the fifth.
The Mariners out-hit Oakland, 14-5, with Cano leading the way with a 3-for-5 night that lifted his average to .334 to go along with seven home runs and 56 RBIs. Cano is 14-for-25 on the current homestand.
"He hadn't really gotten hot yet," said manager Lloyd McClendon. "I think the weather is starting to warm up a little, he's starting to heat up, and you're starting to see the real Robbie Cano come out."
Seager now has 15 home runs and 63 RBIs on the season after totaling 22 home runs and 69 RBIs in 160 games in 2013. But the young third baseman is more worried about catching the A's than his own numbers.
"They're ahead of us, so any games you can win, you've got to continue to grind," he said. "These games are over now, tomorrow is a new day, and they're still ahead of us, so we need to keep catching up ground."
The Mariners improved to 51-43 with the win and are 7-5 against the A's, who own the best record in the Majors at 58-36 with one game remaining before the All-Star break. Seattle remains in third place in the tough AL West, but has reduced Oakland's lead to seven games and is now 2 1/2 games ahead of Toronto in positioning for the second Wild Card berth in the AL.
"This is a team you want to beat," Cano said. "They're in first place, and that's the team you want to catch. I don't want to say only myself, I'd say the whole team, is playing really well. Seager, Felix [Hernandez] yesterday, Kuma, [Jesus] Sucre did a great job behind the plate. It's the whole team."
Iwakuma isn't one of the four Mariners ticketed for Tuesday's All-Star Game in Minneapolis, but the 2013 All-Star certainly looked like one of the AL's premier hurlers as he improved to 8-4 with a 2.98 ERA despite missing the first month of the season with a torn finger tendon.
The 33-year-old from Japan is 3-0 with a 1.25 ERA over his last three starts, with 25 strikeouts and no walks. He's walked just eight batters in his 14 starts this season.
"I thought Iwakuma was as sharp as he's been all year," McClendon said. "He had a good fastball and was in and out, kept them off-balance all night except for one pitch in the ninth inning."
The Mariners pushed across the game's first run in the second inning, when Corey Hart doubled high off the wall in left-center, then scored on Dustin Ackley's single up the middle. Hart's double was his first extra-base hit in eight games since coming off the 15-day disabled list on July 4.
After a leadoff single by Cano, Seager added his two-run blast in the fifth. He added a double in the seventh in a 2-for-4 night, putting his average at .276. Seager has hit 12 of his 15 home runs and 42 of his 63 RBIs this season at Safeco Field, where he's batting .346, compared to .207 on the road.
But Seager knew this series has been about pitching -- and providing enough help for Hernandez and Iwakuma -- as Seattle's starters have allowed two runs or fewer in seven of their last eight games.
"It doesn't get too much better than that," Seager said. "Those guys at the top of the rotation are phenomenal. Any time you go into a series with those guys up front, you know if you get a few runs, you'll be on the top end of it."

In God (I will praise His word), In God I have put my trust; I will not fear. What can flesh do to me? Psalm 56:4
Painting With LightThis painting has been rendered with an amazing Painting with Light technique that paints the picture using the selected Bible verse text as the paintbrush.
The Painting With Light technique uses a time-intensive process that first analyzes the original artwork at a very high resolution and then creates a digital paintbrush from the Bible verse that inspired the art. The Painting With Light rendering process then digitally re-paints the artwork using only the words and text of the scripture as the brush strokes.
The process colorizes each letter and word of the verse to match the original artwork, and renders it in overlapping copies, millions of times across the canvas. Some works take up to two full days before the one-of-a-kind new canvas has been completely Painted With Light.
From a distance, the beautiful strokes of pigment and color blend together much like a Seurat painting. Some have commented that the words appear to cascade as rain across the canvas. Upon close examination, the millions of overlapping words reveal a scripture infused work of modern sacred art.
Prayerfully consider the bible verse that inspired this painting and know that the Mighty God of all the heavens has reached out to touch you this moment!
I Will Not Fear. Psalm 56:4-Painting With Light. VerseVisions Christian Modern Art. Painting With Light. Copyright by Mark Lawrence. All Rights Reserved.

HOUSTON - As the oldest civil rights organization in the country, NAACP leaders said they are convening in Houston at a historic and critical time for it's members.
More than 5,000 people are registered to attend the convention and will focus on issues like education, health care, voting and the November election.
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is scheduled to speak on Wednesday, followed by Vice President Joe Biden on Thursday.
The convention book clearly touts a keynote speech from President Barack Obama, but, according to organizers, he will not be able to attend the events.
Organizers said they continue to rally attendees to fight against voter suppression efforts across the country. They said legislation, like proposed voter identification laws, could keep some elderly and minority voters away from the polls.
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder is also scheduled to speak at the convention next week.

Topic: 1 year ct scan clear---need advice
Hi all! If you remember me, I am 32 yo. I had intrahepatic cc, underwent a resection may 2011 with clean margins at UPMC. Received adjuvant chemo and radiation. I just recently had an ovarian cyst removed that was an endometrioma. I had my 1 yr ct scan of chest, abd and pelvis and it was normal!
So, I saw my surgeon and he said I don't need another scan for 6 months. I have not seen my oncologist nor my radiation oncologist yet to see if they agree with this. What does everyone think of this? Am I ready to go to scans every 6 months? My main concern is, though I'm one yr cancer free, I have only been off chemo since the middle of February.
How often should I get bloodwork?
Should I get my port out??
I will discuss all of this and more with my Dr's but just looking for some opinions...
Take care!

HOUSTON - A 4-month-old girl who was believed to be abducted by her mother's boyfriend was found alone in a motel room a long way from home on Tuesday.
Galveston police said Stephanie Phillips was found at the Mariner Inn, 1602 Seawall Boulevard, late Tuesday.
Houston police said Byron Gee, 32, took Stephanie from the Brays Oaks Apartments at 6405 West Bellfort about 5 a.m. on Tuesday, after he argued with the baby's mother.
Police said Gee approached a woman in a white 1999 Ford Expedition and stole the vehicle and her purse. Relatives of the carjacking victim said the purse contained her paycheck and all the money she had saved.
The stolen vehicle was then found at a Red Carpet Inn in the 6100 block of the Gulf Freeway on Tuesday afternoon, but Gee and Stephanie were not there, investigators said.
The two were found in Galveston several hours later, police said. Police got a tip that Gee and Stephanie were at the Mariner Inn, so they and U.S. marshals went door-to-door looking for them. Investigators said they found the girl, but Gee wasn't there.
While Stephanie was taken to the University of Texas Medical Branch Hospital to be checked out, officers searched the area for Gee. They found him in the area of 19th and Avenue L and he was arrested.
Charges of kidnapping and robbery against Gee were pending on Wednesday morning.
Gee has a lengthy criminal record that dates back to 2006. He has been convicted of assault with a deadly weapon, assault causing bodily injury, evading arrest unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and driving with a suspended license.

LARAMIE, Wyo. -
2012 Rimington Trophy Fall Watch List
University of Wyoming senior center Nick Carlson will compete for the Rimington Trophy honor for the second consecutive season. He was one of 51 players nationally named to the 2012 Rimington Trophy Fall Watch List on Tuesday. Carlson is one of 21 student-athletes who returns this season after being selected to the 2011 Rimington Watch List.
From Monday, July 9 through Friday, July 20, the National Collegiate Football Awards Association (NCFAA) will be releasing their preseason watch lists for the upcoming 2012 season. On Tuesday, the Rimington Trophy committee released its updated Fall Watch List to honor the top collegiate center this coming season.
The Rimington Trophy is awarded each year to the most outstanding center in college football. It is named for former Nebraska All-America center Dave Rimington. The winner will be determined by the center who receives the most votes in balloting for four All-America teams at the conclusion of the 2012 season. Those four teams are: the American Football Coaches Association; the Walter Camp Football Foundation; the Sporting News; and the Football Writers Association of America.
Carlson earned Second Team All-Mountain West honors as a junior in 2011. He helped lead Wyoming to an 8-5 record, third-place finish in the Mountain West and a bid in the 2011 Gildan New Mexico Bowl. The senior from Arlington Heights, Ill., led an offensive line that allowed only 12 quarterback sacks in 13 games in 2011 to rank No. 11 in the nation in fewest sacks allowed. He also was a key contributor in Wyoming averaging 181.6 rushing yards per game to rank No. 33 in the nation.
Carlson will enter his senior season having started 33 of 34 career games, including the last 25 consecutive. This past spring, he was selected as one of four team captains for the 2012 Wyoming Cowboys. An outstanding student, he has earned Academic All-Conference honors twice during his career.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – Penn did everything it could in a double-overtime thriller at UC-Santa Barbara, but the final goal of the match went the Gauchos way in a 2-1 loss for the Quakers to complete its California swing.
Moments after Austin Kinn's heel shot on a corner kick was saved at the last second by UCSB keeper Josh McNeely, the Gauchos launched into transition. Ismaila Jome settled the ball 25 yards out and on the left flank, feeding a cross to the box with found the head of Charlie Miller as the forward knocked the game-winner inside the right post.
Penn had the better chances throughout the second overtime, including a shot from Duke Lacroix in the 103' minute following a pass from Matt Poplawski. Lacroix had a step on the left side, but his back-footed touch was just wide. On the ensuing corner, the serve found Kinn who was inches from the winner.
The first overtime saw both offenses unleashed. There were seven scoring chances combined, none more dangerous than a corner from UCSB in the 95'. The Gauchos served a ball into the box and it found the head of Achille Campion whose knock looked pure until Tyler Kinn got his right glove on the ball and steered it away.
In the final minute of the first session of extra time, Alec Neumann almost won it for the Red and Blue with a header but his diving attempt was slightly deflected by a UCSB defender. On the ensuing corner, Sam Hayward's entry feed found Louis Schott, but his shot with 15 seconds left was blocked.
Stephen Baker dribbled the Quakers to overtime with his second goal of the season. Moments after the Gauchos had taken the lead, Baker won a loose ball 25 yards out, and faked out one defender before stepping to the top of the 18 where he slipped a shot top left corner to knot that match, 1-1.
UC-Santa Barbara had gotten on the board first in the 76' when Adis Islamovic got a head on a ball following a serve from Ismalia Jome which Charlie Miller directed to goal.
Both sides had quality chances throughout the second half, none better than Sam Hayward's run down the middle of the park in the 65'. He slipped by a defender to attack goalkeeper Josh McNeely 1v1, the only thing denying Penn a 1-0 lead the feet of McNeely who slid his feet to his left to kick away Hayward's shot.
The Gauchos came right back down the field after Hayward's miss, Kinn going to his right to halt a Drew Murphy shot.
The stats reflect how even the match was. Total shots were 13-12 in favor of Penn, while the Gauchos held a 7-6 edge in corner kicks.
The Quakers return to Philadelphia for its first match at renovated Rhodes Field on Thursday against 2012 national finalist Georgetown at 7:30 p.m.

Have you ever made your own bologna? My parents had a meat locker when I was a little kid and didn't really pay attention to what was going on at the time. Now they are both deceased and I never got the recipe for Dad's bologna. I've tried adding commercial seasoning and following their instructions, but it didnt' turn out too well.

FLORENCE, Ala. – Taking to the court for the first time with their newly acquired No.17 ranking, the Saint Leo women's tennis team (7-3) bounced a pair of south region opponents as they downed North Alabama and Delta State, 7-2, in a rare road doubleheader, Saturday afternoon from the UNA Tennis Complex.
In the doubleheader, the women's tennis team controlled both contests from the beginning as they collected wins in 14 of 18 matches.
After taking two-of-three doubles matches against the No.44-ranked North Alabama Lions, both Adrianna Daszkiewicz and Jeanette McDonald forced their opponents to at least one set shutout win as the team solidified their sixth region win.
Later against the Lady Statesmen, the visiting Lions proved to be superior again as they downed Delta by the identical 7-2 score. Saint Leo swept through doubles action, which included an 8-2 conquest by McDonald and Daszkiewicz at No.3-flight doubles.
The Lions first four on the singles side secured the match for Saint Leo as they surrendered a mere 10 points over the course of the opening eight sets.
The Lions will continue their three-match road swing with a trip to Samford University where they will challenge Gulf South Conference opponents Alabama-Huntsville. First serve is set for 10 a.m.

Picture: Michelle Williams The Sony BMG post-Grammy party to celebrate the 50th Annual Grammy Awards held at The Beverly Hills Hotel Beverly Hills, California - 10.02.08
R&B trio Destiny's Child have reunited in the studio to release their first new music in eight years.
Frontwoman Beyonce announced the news to fans via a post on her website on Thursday (10Jan13), revealing that she and her bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams had put together new compilation album Destiny's Child Love Songs, featuring the trio's most romantic tracks.
The disc, due for release at the end of the month (Jan13), also includes at least one new tune from the Bootylicious hitmakers, titled Nuclear, produced by Pharrell Williams.
Under the headline 'Destiny's Child Love Songs', Beyonce writes, "I am so proud to announce the first original Destiny's Child music in eight years!"
The surprise news comes as Beyonce prepares to hit the stage for the Super Bowl Halftime show during the American football championship on 3 February (13), and rumours now suggest she will be joined by Rowland and Williams for the big gig.
Destiny's Child released its last new tracks in 2005 as part of greatest hits album #1's before the bandmates disbanded to pursue solo careers.
Thursday appeared to be a day of pop comebacks as Justin Timberlake also declared he was "ready" to return to the charts with his first new material since 2006.

>General Running>RWOL Refugees --
Man... I just checked back into the old place and it's still being overrun with spam. It's like Spam-a-lot there but without all the singing.
It's gotta be an ousted former forum member directing the attacks. I've never seen a forum so overrun with spam before.
Mark Remy must be pulling what's left of his his hair out.
Maybe, but prolly not. I'm an Admin at two sites. One of them, we fixed by disabling new users and the other we have new users on Mod Queue. The one with MQ, is pulling about 20 new users per hour since the beginning of the holiday season. I delete them all. it should quiet down after NY.
Just found this place. Thought I'd check it out after seeing what happened to RWOL. What a mess.

Was testing to see if my pic would save to my profile, then on the forum avatar. It failed. Not sure how I can screw up something so simple as attaching a pic to the avatar, but you guys can be spared seeing me, at least for a time anyway.
My overall Opinion of the runningahead forums so far on my first day here: Superior to the RW forums on several fronts. I am a refugee, but now applying for permanent citizenship here. So long RW.
Boy, what is up with this poor emoticon fella?
You need to load your avatar under "Forum Preferences" rather than "Profile." Then we'll be able to see you, which is good because a lot of us can't be bothered with reading names.
No act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted.

One day at a time
We had the same spammers (live streaming of sports events) on a college website I help moderate. We just had to be relentless. We banned them over and over again, until they gave up. It took several days for them to go away. They kept switching IP addresses, so we couldn't get rid of them that way.
I have been here for a few years as I was part of the CR migration - I have a question to RW Refugees: Are you not keeping your log on RA yet or do you have your logs hidden. The culture at RA is the vast majority of people leave their logs public.
I guess I am suprised at the number of people asking running related questions without open logs. The answer to a question is often crafted better with a frame of training reference.
RA is a generally supportive place, we tend to get a little snarky, but rarely mean - A lot of the OGs have a ton of knowledge they share pretty freely.
Welcome to all - Definately a transition for the new and old RA peope alike. Eventually we will all be RA and not RW refugees and
existing RA poeple. I hope that if RW ever gets their shit together that many of you decide to stay. Unless you have troll in you blood - then please leave.
good running to all!

Thanks for the welcome DoppleBock. And, just for the record (not that it much matters), I don't much care if RW gets their shit together. I'm staying.

Framed in the gas side while the ribs were smoking (see the Whats Grilling 8-23/8-24 thread).
It took a bit of tweaking to get it so the drip pan would fit underneath, but after cutting about 4 inches off the end of the pan and re-riveting the mounting bracket, it worked.
I drilled out the gas orifices for natural gas and am going to be under the house plumbing in the gas, H2O and electricity tomorrow.
