The NSW five-eighth spot has become the most contentious State of Origin selection for years, two weeks before coach Laurie Daley names his team for the interstate opener.
Incumbent James Maloney, Josh Reynolds, Jarrod Mullen and John Sutton have two NRL rounds to impress Daley before this year's first interstate clash in Brisbane on May 28.
Daley has kept quiet about who has the front running to partner Mitchell Pearce in the Blues' halves, but on Wednesday NSW back-rower Greg Bird said he would like to see Canterbury playmaker Josh Reynolds get the nod.
"The standout five-eighth of the year is Joshie Reynolds," Bird said.
"He's topping every stat and he's a rugby league player. He's not all about skill, speed, strength and size.
"He's tenacious, aggressive and that's what you love to see in those sorts of arenas."
Reynolds has been a key figure in the Bulldogs' outstanding start to the season, while Daley said he couldn't split the tough No.6 and Canterbury five-eighth Jarrod Mullen in their head-to-head battle in City-Country in Dubbo on Saturday.
Sydney Roosters premiership winner James Maloney's form improved markedly in the past two games after a slow start to the season.
But the former Warriors pivot suffered a shoulder injury in the Roosters' Anzac Day win over St George Illawarra and remains in doubt for the tricolours' round nine fixture with Wests Tigers on Friday.
Daley said he was happy for Sutton to sit out City-Country with a slight quad strain, saying he had seen enough of the South Sydney veteran.
Sutton missed out on a spot on the Blues bench for Origin I last year, after losing a "train-off" to Reynolds.
Reynolds didn't play a minute in NSW's win, but played off the bench in the game one loss before being overlooked for the decider.
Sutton has impressed at five-eighth for Souths after starting the season in the back row.
"To be honest, I haven't been thinking about (Origin) at all. I've just been enjoying playing at six," Sutton said.
"I'm happy with my form at the moment. I'm happy with the way things are going. There are definitely things I can improve on.
"It was a little bit disappointing, but that was last year. That is long gone now.
"There are a lot of good five-eighths running around at the moment. For me to get picked, I have to be playing my best footy every week."

Topic: Pinpoint radiation for inoperable klatskins???
Hi to all of you. I've been reading on and off with my sister being in and out of the hospital. Just to refresh, she has a klatskin's tumor in her bile ducts with tumors in the gall bladder and liver as well. The drs thought they could resect, but they couldn't. They put stents in which were fine for about 5 weeks but now are clogged/infected. They cleaned them but said this is going to be the norm for now.
Here's the question. Some radiologist/oncologists are suggesting pinpoint radiation for the bile duct tumors. Does anyone have any experience with that? How effective? How brutal are the side effects? She really isn't a chemo candidate at all. This seems to be the only hopeful option Thanks for reading and listening. Belle

Medical Needs Registry Materials Available in 8 Languages
March 30, 2009
News Highlights
More Information
Fairfax County's Medical Needs Registry Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) is now available in eight languages – English, Arabic, Chinese, Farsi, Korean, Spanish, Vietnamese and Urdu. The FAQs provide an overview of the program and explain eligibility requirements.
"The Medical Needs Registry is a valuable resource for Fairfax County residents and we want to reach as many people as possible," said John Hudson, special needs planner with the Fairfax County Office of Emergency Management.
The Fairfax County Medical Needs Registry will be used during any emergency requiring evacuation, such as flooding, hurricanes, hazardous material spills and gas leaks. It contains the names and addresses of individuals with medical needs who have a high-risk health condition, temporary or chronic, and who cannot manage for themselves in a shelter or evacuation center.
"People who require assistance in performing the activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing and feeding, and/or those who will require care for and monitoring of a health condition should sign up with the registry," added Hudson. "The information will help emergency planners better prepare the county's response and recovery efforts."
Information within the registry will be used by first responders, shelter managers and transportation professionals to assist people with medical needs during an emergency. Registry information also will be used to identify and coordinate the location of medical needs shelters and transportation routes. Hudson added that the Medical Needs Registry is voluntary and that all information collected is confidential and will be stored on secure Fairfax County servers.
Individuals with medical needs and their caregivers can apply using the online form or by completing and mailing in a Medical Needs Registry form. If an applicant is eligible, their information will be entered into the registry's database.
Caregivers may also register individuals and both caregivers and the families of people with medical needs will be provided transportation and shelter during an emergency should the county open a medical shelter.
Register or download any of the Medical Needs Registry FAQs online. Registration forms also can be downloaded and mailed in. Residents also may request registration materials and more information by phone or mail: call 703-324-9000; TTY 703-324-9001, or write to the Fairfax County Office of Emergency Management, 4890 Alliance Drive, Suite 2200, Fairfax, VA 22030 for more information.
During a major crisis or emergency, Fairfax County uses the
award-winning Community Emergency Alert Network (CEAN) to deliver
important emergency alerts, notifications and updates. Fairfax County
Government offers the Medical Needs Registry and the CEAN as a public
service. The registry and CEAN will be used in conjunction with other
public notification methods such as Fairfax County Government Channel 16,
the Fairfax County Web site, the Fairfax County Emergency Information
Line (703-817-7771, TTY 711) and area media to keep residents informed
during emergencies.

In-Game Blog/Box Score
VILLANOVA, Pa. - No. 16 Penn State men's lacrosse used a four-goal second quarter and 16 saves from Austin Kaut (Morton, Pa.) in a 7-6 win at Villanova on Saturday in front of 2,578 fans. Junior midfielder Tom LaCrosse (Canandaigua, N.Y.) tallied his second hat trick in as many games to lead Penn State to its fifth straight win and 10th straight true road contest.tallied his second hat trick in as many games to lead Penn State to its fifth straight win and 10th straight true road contest. Penn State has held each opponent to seven of fewer goals during the winning streak.
"I thought [Villanova] played a lot better than us in our offensive end," head coach Jeff Tambroni said. "I was thankful that our goalie and our defense did enough tonight to give us a win...Our defense had to answer the bell a little bit more than they should have. I thought Tommy LaCrosse, in particular, played really well and was just really aggressive in his dodging. I think (the offense) should've taken a page out of his book tonight."
Penn State (7-3, 2-0 CAA) out-scored Villanova (2-6, 1-0 Big East) 4-2 in the second quarter, including the last three goals of the frame to take a 5-3 lead. Fueling the three-goal spurt was Jack Forster (Jenkintown, Pa.) and LaCrosse, two scored twice. Shane Sturgis (Downingtown, Pa.) assisted on Forster's tally and LaCrosse's first marker. The second LaCrosse goal was a dash down the middle of the field as the junior was hit with 15 seconds left in the half.
PSU extended the run to four goals and a 6-3 lead as Forster's second goal of the game was assisted by Sturgis just 3:13 into the third period. Sturgis fed Forster from behind the cage with the timer on for Penn State's largest lead of the game.
Villanova's Nick Doherty tallied an extra-man goal and John Kluh's early fourth-period rocket with 12:04 remaining cut the Penn State lead to one at 6-5.
Midfielder Kyle VanThof (Penfield, N.Y.) scored the eventual game winner with 9:34 to go on a curl around the cage as he bounced it in for a 7-5 lead. The game-winner was VanThof's second of the year.
Villanova's defense forced Penn State into four turnovers in the fourth period, setting up several tense moments down the stretch. Max Hart's goal with 3:04 left in the game cut the lead again to one, but Danny Henneghan (Beverly Hills, Mich.) won the ensuing faceoff to stave off a quick Villanova run.
Henneghan won 11-of-17 faceoffs against Thomas Croonquist, who won 22-of-24 last week in an upset over No. 4 Syracuse last week. Henneghan had a game-high seven ground balls. Steven Bogert (Carlsbad, Calif.) pitched in with four ground balls and James Burke (Duxbury, Mass.) had three collections and Penn State's lone caused turnover.
Penn State would commit a shot clock violation with 1:45 remaining as Villanova looked for the equalizer. Kluh looked for his second goal of the game from the right wing with a minute left was saved by Kaut and cleared successfully as Penn State ran out the clock and beat Villanova for a second straight meeting. Penn State is 16-3 all-time against the Wildcats.
Gavin Ahern (Rockville Centre, N.Y.) opened the scoring for Penn State in the first period with his second tally of the year, an unassisted goal.
Villanova was the aggressor on defense, forcing 11 of Penn State's 17 turnovers, while the Wildcats committed just six turnovers of their own. VU out-shot Penn State 37-24. Penn State's best quarter was the second, out-shooting the Wildcats, 11-8.
Penn State won the ground ball battle 23-19, the eighth time in 10 games PSU has won that statistic. The Nittany Lions fared well against Villanova's aggressive ride, clearing 20-of-21 times, the lone failed clear coming at the end of the second quarter looking for a last-second goal. Villanova was 18-of-20 on the clear. PSU went 0-for-2 in man-up opportunities, while Villanova was 1-for-2.
"I give Villanova a lot of credit," Head coach Jeff Tambroni said. "You look at their record, which is one thing, but you look at them play on film and you see them play tonight and that's a very good lacrosse team, I thought they were very athletic defensively. I thought they stretched out a little bit on our guys. I thought their goalie played very well. I thought we missed a couple opportunities that would've probably made us feel a little bit better.
Forster extended his point streak to 22 games on Saturday night. During the streak, Forster has 63 points on 44 goals and 19 assists. LaCrosse's hat trick is the fourth of his career, three of which have come this season. Sturgis matched his career high with three assists on the night.
Forster is creeping up on Bill Hess (1956-58) on the all-time goals list at Penn State as Forster has 85, just eight behind Hess for 11th. On the PSU points list, Forster (123) is eight behind Tom Lion (1981-84) for 11th.
Kaut has been a beast in net during Penn State's five-game winning streak. The junior has a 4.44 goals-against average with a .763 save percentage. Kaut has seen 93 shots and saved 71 in that span, playing nearly 30 0minutes. Kaut has 119 saves this season with a 7.16 GAA and .623 save percentage. For his career, he has 477 saves and is 33 shy of Rich Caravella's 510 for sixth all-time at Penn State.
The Nittany Lions return to action on Saturday when No. 14 Drexel visits Penn State Lacrosse Field at 1 p.m. The Dragons defeated Delaware 11-10 at home today, moving to 3-0 in the CAA. Drexel is in first, while Penn State and Towson sit a half-game back at 2-0.
Saturday's game against Drexel will be Penn State's 100th Season Celebration. Alumni are invited back to participate in the celebration and will be honored at halftime of the game.

To anyone who saw AP McCoy on St Patrick's Thursday, they would have seen a man limping in pain, but also a true professional riding through it.
McCoy is not averse to riding injured, he has done it plenty of times before, but it was clear the 39-year-old was heavily bruised from his fall on Wednesday.
The Northern Irishman put pain to one side as he rode Taquin De Seuil to victory in the opening race of the day.
A lesser jockey may not have ridden the finish he did up the hill, coaxing every last bit of energy and focus out of his mount to sneak past the Alan King-trained outsider Uxizandre, who had run a brilliant race.
The Champion Jockey, recording his first winner of this year's Festival, and the 30th Festival win of his career, felt guilty for denying his boss JP McManus, who owns Uxizandre, the victory but was pleased for trainer Jonjo O'Neill.
"I'm very pleased to ride this winner for Jonjo, and disappointed to have beaten my boss [McManus]. He very kindly let me off to ride this fellow because we thought he had a very good chance," he said.
"I was very sore last night and was struggling earlier today, but not as sore as Bryan Cooper [who broke his leg on Wednesday].
"He [Taquin De Seuil] is tough and has lots of experience. He had a bit of luck on the way round because other horses fell around him. I knew he might idle in front so I was mindful of that, but he battled well."
Besides the physical pain, also playing on McCoy's mind would have been the memory that exactly one year previously his good friend JT McNamara had suffered a serious fall, in the Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Challenge Cup.
McCoy may not have had the Festival he has hoped for, with just one winner and passing up the opportunity to ride the winners in the Champion Hurdle and World Hurdle.
However, he will count himself lucky that he was even able to attend the racecourse today, unlike JT who is still paralysed a year on.
Current Champion Trainer, Nicky Henderson has also not had as many winners as he would have hoped for.
Coming close on the opening day with three seconds, and bagging one victory on Wednesday, Henderson was to have nothing better than two third-places on Thursday. Both of those came from amateur jockey Sam Waley-Cohen, aboard Rajdhani Express and Roberto Goldback.
The feature race of the day, The Ladbrokes World Hurdle, was mostly billed as a two-horse race, between Big Buck's and Annie Power.
However, it was to be the Jonjo O'Neill-trained More Of That who maintained his unbeaten run, storming home to a surprise win.
Once a superb horse, and winner of the race on four occasions, Big Buck's could only manage fifth place this time, and was subsequently retired by trainer Paul Nicholls.
The favourite, Annie Power, ran a good race, but was beaten by a better horse, and finished second.
David Pipe also had notable success on day three, scoring a double with Dynaste and Ballynagour.
The final day of the Festival will attract the biggest crowds, and excitement is building ahead of the Betfred Gold Cup. Nicky Henderson trains the favourite, Bobs Worth, who won the race last year, and Grand National hopeful Triolo D'Alene.
The Seven Barrows' trainer will be hoping that his time will come on day four, and with those two horses representing him, among other well-fancied contenders in the racecard, it is more than likely.

Cabo 52 Express — By Capt. Patrick Sciacca
— March 2006
The Afishionado
Cabo Yachts' latest flagship solidifies its reputation for outstanding fit and finish, performance, and fishability.
I'm going to take her from the tower, okay?" I enthusiastically inquired with Cabo Yachts' international sales manager Steve Boerma. I'm a certified tuna-tower nut, although I don't entirely know why. Perhaps it's because I grew up with one on my dad's boat, run my own boat from her tower, or just enjoy the solitude up top. Maybe it's all of the above. I do know that when I saw the optional Pipewelders tower onboard Cabo's 52 Express shining in the midmorning South Florida sun, I had to check it out.
This article originally appeared in the March 2006 issue of Power & Motoryacht magazine.

However, it will take about five times longer than the total life of the Sun at the Earth's present rate of matter loss (at most 3 kg per second.) for the atmosphere to be used up.31That is because, thanks to the powerful magnetic field formed by the magnetosphere in the atmosphere, the Earth is to some extent protected from this powerful erosion. The loss of ions-oxygen, helium and hydrogen-dispersed over the Earth's ionosphere layer into the depths of space is of much smaller dimensions than the vast layer of air surrounding the Earth. Even so, the amount leaking into space is nevertheless of a significant size.32
Thanks to NASA spacecraft, researchers have obtained concrete evidence that energy explosions on the Sun cause oxygen and other gases to disperse into space from the outer layer of the Earth's atmosphere. Scientists first observed that the Earth experiences a loss of matter from its outer layers on September 24-25, 1998.33
However, the above verses may also be referring to the loss of land on Earth in another regard.
At the present time, the polar ice caps are melting and the water level in the oceans is rising. The increasing quantity of water is covering ever more land. As coastal areas come under water, the land surface or total amount of land is decreasing.34The expression "eroding it from its extremities" in the above verses may well be pointing to coastal areas being covered by water.
A New York Times report on this subject reads:
Over the last century, the average surface temperature of the globe has risen by about 1 degree Fahrenheit, and the rate of warming has accelerated in the last quarter-century. That is a significant amount… Previous studies of satellite and submarine observations have seemed to establish a warming trend in the northern polar region and raise the possibility of a melting icecap. Scientists at the Goddard Space Science Institute, a NASA research center in Manhattan, compared data from submarines in the 1950's and 1960's with 1990's observations, demonstrating that the ice cover over the entire Arctic basin has thinned by 45 percent. Satellite images have revealed that the extent of ice coverage has significantly shrunk in recent years.35
The findings made towards the end of the 20th century help us to understand the wisdom of Surat ar-Ra'd 41, and Surat al-Anbiya' 44.
2. 8 minutes : Ultraviolet and x-ray emissions travelling at the speed of light can block out radio broadcasts.
3. 30 minutes: Charged particles at a high energy level can threaten satellites and high-flying jets.
4. Between 48 minutes and 96 hours: The Earth's magnetic field is disrupted by mass solar particles. The effect of this is to endanger electricity networks.
5. THE MAGNETOSPHERE is a region in space occupied by the Earth's magnetic field. It usually extends for 64,000 kilometres (40,000 miles) towards the Sun, although powerful solar storms can compress the magnetosphere to a mere 42,000 kilometres (26,000 miles), leaving satellites outside exposed to solar winds.
This loss at the extremities, as revealed by Allah, may be understood in light of another scientific fact revealed in the Qur'an. The fact that the Earth, which revolves around its own axis, has a geoid shape, is a fact that has gained acceptance in recent centuries.
Research has revealed that the Earth keeps bulging at the equator.
Research has revealed that the equatorial diameter of the Earth expands under the effect of the force stemming from this rotation, and that it is compressed at its extremities, in other words the poles. Furthermore, since the Earth is in constant rotation this change continues to occur. Indeed, the term "nanqusu" in Surat ar-Ra'd 41, translated as "eroding," shows that this process of erosion is an ongoing one.
It is the force of gravity that has given such celestial bodies as the Earth their spherical form. However, that shape is not exactly spherical; it flattens out somewhat at the poles and thickens at the equator. According to NASA figures, the radius of the Earth is 6,378.1 km (3,963.2 miles) at the equator but only 6,356.8 km (3,949.9 miles) from pole to pole.36 This is a difference of some 0.3%.
This model of the shape of the Earth was suggested by Sir Isaac Newton in 1687. This fact, revealed in the Qur'an 1,400 years ago, is another of its scientific miracles.

Allah created the heavens and the earth with truth. There is certainly a Sign in that for the believers.

Reds end skid at seven behind strong Leake
Righty throws 6 2/3 scoreless innings, scores run on Phillips' single
CINCINNATI -- Finally, after more than a week, Reds manager Bryan Price could exhale.
"I kept trying to remind myself to breathe," Price said Saturday night after Cincinnati snapped a seven-game losing streak by outlasting Atlanta, 1-0, at Great American Ball Park. "Our last win was on [Aug. 15]. And it was not just the seven losses, it was the fashion in which we did it -- the gut-wrenching losses.
"But tonight we pitched well, we defended well and we got timely hitting. It was good to see."
It was especially good for the Reds to see right-hander Mike Leake (10-11) work 6 2/3 shutout innings and score the game's only run. Leake had only three wins in his previous 10 starts and had given up nine earned runs over 12 innings during his two most recent outings.
Leake wasn't available for comment after the game, but he was the player everyone was talking about.
"He was unbelievable," Reds catcher Brayan Pena said.
"He had A-grade stuff," Price said.
"He was actually throwing a lot of fastballs," Atlanta left fielder Justin Upton said. "He threw a lot of two-seamers and cutters and mixed in his slider. He kept the ball down and was getting some calls down. That gave him some confidence throwing the ball down in the zone, and he just located really well."
Atlanta's Emilio Bonifacio led off the game with a single through the right side, but Leake retired 17 of the next 18, striking out the side in the fifth inning. During the seventh inning, however, the Braves appeared ready to ruin Leake's evening and extend Cincinnati's losing streak.
Andrelton Simmons led off with a double. Leake struck out the next two batters, then issued two walks. Price, with Leake having thrown 110 pitches, summoned Jumbo Diaz from the bullpen.
"[Leake] said, 'I can get [Tommy La Stella] out, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't running out of gas a little bit,'" Price said. "I appreciated his honesty. I would have hated for him to say it after a two-run single."
Cincinnati shortstop Zack Cozart was able to hang tough on La Stella's laser-beam ground ball and complete the forceout, extinguishing the threat.
"I wasn't trying to catch it; I was trying to body it up," Cozart said. "I figured if I knocked it down I could still get it to [second baseman Brandon Phillips] on time."
Jonathan Broxton worked a scoreless eighth and Aroldis Chapman struck out the side in the ninth for his 27th save.
The start of the game was delayed 1 hour, 56 minutes by rain. When play finally did begin, however, it moved quickly. Leake and Braves right-hander Ervin Santana (13-7) matched zeros until the Reds finally broke through in the sixth.
Leake led off the inning with a first-pitch double down the left-field line and was sacrificed to third by Billy Hamilton. Leake's 67 career hits since his 2010 debut are the most of any Major League pitcher.
Phillips worked the count full with two outs, fouled off a pitch, then drove an RBI single into the gap in left-center to give the Reds a 1-0 lead.
Santana allowed one hit through the first five innings, a Jack Hannahan single.
"Our pitching was outstanding and their pitching was a little better," Atlanta manager Fredi Gonzalez said.
The Reds had lost 10 of 11 before Saturday's win. Cincinnati avoided falling eight games under .500 for the first time since 2009.
"We really needed that, especially against the Braves, a team playing pretty good baseball," Pena said.

Letters indicate troubled frat was accused of theft, hazing, underage drinking
Published: Sunday, January 6, 2013 at 7:48 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, January 6, 2013 at 7:48 p.m.
The University of Florida Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity has been accused of involvement in theft, hazing and underage drinking, according to a series of letters sent to the fraternity by the dean of students' office during the fall.
The fraternity, commonly known as "SigEp," was shut down by its national board of directors last month amid university investigations into numerous conduct violations.
After a hearing held in early November based on a report of an incident of underage drinking in September at the fraternity's house, the chapter was placed on probation, according to the letters.
In the following weeks, more letters were sent regarding accusations of hazing, theft and underage drinking. In each case, law enforcement notified the university of the potential violations of the student conduct code.
Officials have not given specifics on any of the incidents, although the fraternity made headlines when two of its members were arrested and charged with theft in March after getting caught walking out of a local home improvement store with nearly $600 worth of plastic sheeting to be used for a pool party at the chapter's house.
Chris Loschiavo, assistant dean of students and director of student conduct and conflict resolution, said a hearing to address the second set of charges has yet to be scheduled. He said a representative from the fraternity, such as the president at the time of the incidents, must be present for the hearing.
"It has to be a student representative," he said.
Mark Warner, a local member of the chapter's alumni board and a 1974 UF graduate, said he felt the university has been too harsh with the fraternity and that the national organization is being forced to punish UF's chapter in order to avoid a harsher penalty from UF.
"We were worried if we didn't make a decision, then the university could do the worst-case scenario," he said, implying that UF would ban the fraternity for four years.
Warner, who has helped vacate the fraternity's house at 5 Fraternity Row, said most of the almost 50 students who were living in the house have since moved into off-campus apartments.
Michael Lewis, another '74 grad on the chapter's alumni board who has assisted with the move, also said he felt like the university was being too harsh.
"Boys are going to be boys," he said. "They're going to have problems. They're going to grow up."
Dave Kratzer, vice president of student affairs, said he felt it was shame that the doors of a fraternity that has been on campus since 1925 has closed.
"I think everybody involved feels like it was a very sad situation," he said.

A BOY could be scarred for life after a dog attacked him while he was at a pub with his family.
Six-year-old Mckinley Worthington had to spend two nights in hospital after the dog bit his face while he was in The Oddfellows Arms in St Helens Road, Daubhill.
The dog, thought to be a Staffordshire bull terrier crossed with a Rhodesian ridgeback, is owned by the landlady of the pub.
Sammy Gledhill, Mckinley's mother, aged 24, of Aldercroft Avenue, Breightmet, said: "My little lad stroked the dog and it attacked him. There was a lot of blood, it was awful. I was in so much shock.
"Somebody picked up the dog and threw it across the room. It is a family pub. I had my three-year-old daughter with me too. If she had been bitten I think the injuries would have been much worse."
The attack happened on Friday at about 7pm.
Mckinley, a pupil at Red Lane School in Breightmet, was taken to Royal Bolton Hospital by ambulance and later transferred to Manchester Children's Hospital.
He suffered a bite below his right eyebrow, along with cuts and bruising to his eye and forehead.
Miss Gledhill said her son spent two nights in hospital where he had his eye washed while under general anaesthetic and received antibiotics under a drip.
The incident comes weeks after the first anniversary of the death of 14-year-old Jade Lomas-Anderson, who was mauled to death by a pack of dogs at a friend's home in Atherton on March 26, last year.
Miss Gledhill said that since being discharged from hospital on Sunday evening, Mckinley has lost confidence.
She said: "Mckinley keeps looking in the mirror and telling me he is ugly. I have had to give our Jack Russell dog away as he is now absolutely terrified of it."
She is worried the dog will bite again and called for action to be taken.
Landlady Margaret Wilson, from The Oddfellows Arms, said: "The dog isn't vicious. He has been in the pub for seven years, including when we have had busy parties and has never done anything before but under provocation a dog cannot say "please stop it".
"I would not have the dog in the pub if I thought people were in danger."
CCTV footage of the incident shows Mckinley stroking and patting or pushing the dog towards a wall before he was bitten.
A North West Ambulance Service spokesman said: "We received a call at 7.21pm to a six-year-old male with a dog bite. The boy was completely alert. He had an injury to the eyebrow and cheek. He was fully conscious and was taken to Royal Bolton Hospital."
A police spokesman confirmed the incident was reported to police on Friday at 8.50pm and that inquiries will take place into the breed of the dog along.

Streatham-Croydon continued their formidable start to life in Surrey 2 with a comprehensive, if at times rather fraught, 33-19 victory over Old Emanuel.
Fraught because at one point Streatham were reduced to 13 men after full back George Shaw and No. 8 Maika Baleilovu had been given 10 minutes on the side-lines to think about what they had done.
Streatham's second consecutive victory was also bittersweet as Aaron Brown suffered a broken hand and will be out of action for the first half of the season.
However, it is testament to a side that have scored with some abandon in their first two games that through outside centre Wes Baron, Streatham rallied against the numerical disadvantage and scored a try of some class.
It had begun so well for Streatham. Following a turn-over in the opposition 22, influential fly-half Chris Geary arched his way beneath the posts.
Winger Brown and Baleilovu added a try apeice and Streatham found themselves 21 points to the good.
From this point onward, Streatham gave away far too many penalties allowing the hosts back into the proceedings.
However, Geary still managed to score a brilliant second try, this time created with wonderful verve by winger Andrew Daniels.
Repeated warnings from the games' excellent referee about Streatham's indiscipline at break-down fell on deaf ears as Old Emanuel capitalised with two late tries.
Streatham-Croydon face Old Tonbridgians at home this Saturday (KO 3pm).

Technology Alone is Never Enough: What it Takes to Build a Medical Products Company
Wes Chapman, President and CEO, PCD Partners LLC
Friday, October 8, 2010, 3:30pm
This seminar is part of the Jones Seminars on Science, Technology, and Society series
In December of 1999, Medical Media Systems (MMS) had a proprietary technology which was patented and FDA cleared for 3D imaging and treatment planning for endovascular repair of aortic aneurysms. It had a major partner who paid for the technology development and could help with launching the product into the market. Over a dozen peer reviewed papers from top journals supported the technology as a "must have" product. The product, Preview, had no competition and was being used in clinical trials as a key aid in determining success or failure of aortic stent-grafts. But MMS had been in and out of bankruptcy once, had over $500,000 in unpaid bills, and only $17 in liquid resources. The company missed the Christmas payroll, and employees were walking out the door. Clearly, it takes more than technology to make a company work. The presentation takes a hard look at what went wrong, and what was done to make it right with investors, employees, regulators, clinical partners, and customers. By 2006, when the company was sold for 5.5X net invested capital, it enjoyed 80% annual sales growth, 40% operating margins, and 80% market share in its niche market.
About the Speaker
Mark 'Wes' Chapman was CEO of MMS and its successor, M2S, from 2000 through January 2010. Wes is an experienced investor and operator, with over a dozen companies he has helped form and run in the last 30 years. He started his first company at age 16, and paid his way through Dartmouth and Tuck School of Business with his second company formed at age 18. Wes spent twenty years in investment and merchant banking prior to taking over MMS. He recently started a medical quality systems company PCD Partners. He lives in Hanover, and has a passion for the outdoors, having climbed all 100 highest mountains in New England, Kilimanjaro, Whitney, Rainier and is headed to Russia to climb Elbrus next summer.

As we drove onto the former property of successful gold miners Mr. and Mrs. William Bourn, we knew it was a special place. The silvery foliage of the mature Olea europaea (olive) trees that line the parking lot were our first impressive clue to the experience that would unfold as the day continued. These trees were planted around 1918, and are part of the original plantings on Filoli property.
Mr. and Mrs. Bourn died in 1936, and the land and house were bought by Mr. and Mrs. William Roth. In 1975, Mrs. Roth donated her home and some of the land to the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and the rest of the 650 acres was donated to the entirely volunteer-run Filoli Center. The house and garden now have paid staff, but the volunteers are intensively trained and still play an important and critical role in the stewardship of the property.
We first met with our gracious hosts for the day: Alex Fernandez, Manager of Horticultural Operations, and Jim Salyards, Manager of Horticultural Collections and Education. Alex and Jim soon led us to a room where each half-hour a new staff member came in to talk to us aspiring garden administrators about their roles at Filoli. It was a very interesting morning, and their enthusiasm for the house and garden was so evident that after lunch, we were eager to explore.
The greenhouses, 17 acres of formal gardens, and 8 orchards are meticulously managed by 14 full-time garden staff. We ran into former Longwood Gardens Intern Doug Sederholm, now a gardener in Filoli's cut flower garden. His area is bursting with continuous color during growing seasons so that the 24 flower arrangements throughout the house can be refreshed weekly.
Filoli also has a strong education component; with approximately 6,000 student visitors per year and 2,500 adult learners attending their 200 programs. They concentrate on horticulture, art, history, and preservation, with certificates in a very prestigious botanical art program (learn more about the Filoli's Florilegium), floral design, and horticulture.
And the house! Designed by architect Willis Polk and built between 1915-1917, the house is an eclectic mix of architectural styles, and currently serves as a museum for 17th and 18th century English antiques. Detailed scenes of Muckross, an Irish estate, are painted directly onto the giant walls of he ballroom. Much of the furniture is carved with curves, or intricately inlaid with several types of wood. Fireplaces, floors, and the elegant stairway were carved out of marble.
As the garden closed for the day, we were grateful for the time the staff spent with us and for the chance to see a quality garden in action. Our drive down the coast continued as we anticipated the next day's adventure: Monterey Bay Aquarium.

Here is a short summation from TetraMedia of just how the online world is changing and what events need to consider.
Internet images sizes - Resolution is the measure of pixels (or dots) on the computer monitor screen, a higher resolution (or more pixels) is recommended for large screens sizes or when much detail is desired. Currently for 15 - 17 - 19 monitors the resolution is usually 1280 x 1024. This resolution is suitable for the vast majority of uses.
While colour magazines typically print at 300 dots per inch (dpi,) early computer monitors had a dot pitch of around 0.35 mm – which translated as 72dpi, now larger desktop monitors are usually around 0.270mm – approximately 96 dpi.
But now good laptops have leapt to 147dpi equivalent, iPhones are 300+dpi equivalent and beyond and the day of iPads and laptops at 300 dpi equivalent and desk top monitors two or even three A4 pages wide with 300dpi images is approaching fast.
In the early days of the internet, when dial up was the standard connection method, images used on the internet were commonly tiny images stuck in the corner of a picture, just 300 pixels wide.
Now with broadband line speeds of 5mbps are modern base line and the consumer is seeking higher quality images, because he can really see the difference on his computer screen.
So what does this mean for Marine Events, Sponsors and Marine Event Photographers?
Much larger Internet quality images are needed by online media– for many years events have distributed 'internet quality' images of 500 pixels now. Please do NOT send images out at that size for media use.
The new standard is 1280 pixels (this will continue to drive upwards in coming years. ) - it's the new mobile phone and tablet size after all.
That is unless event organisers really want to keep the sponsors logos small on the screen? If you really think that might be the case… events and the photographers can always ask the sponsors, if they can't figure out the answer for themselves.
Image editing
Horizon correction is essential. While a crooked horizon was hardly noticeable to a casual glance on a 300 pixel wide image, it's very visible when the image is full screen. The world's top marine photographers never ever send out an image with a 1, 2 or 3 degree slant on the horizon, unless they are being arty and then 10 or 20 degrees is fine. All photographers need to follow their example.
Portrait or Landscape? While newspapers are portrait format, digital media is landscape. So make sure you are providing images for both mediums.
Digital images need sharpening. Digital photographs, by their very nature, appear somewhat soft focus. Some cameras sharpen the image as part of their software, and some cameras let you specify how much sharpening (if any) you want the camera to do, but usually as part of your processing you'll want to fine tune this process in your imaging program.
Colour correction is important. Contrary to popular belief sailing does occur on dull and overcast days. That does not mean images need to be dull too. Professional marine photographers always look carefully to see if images need colour or brightness correction. If it's good enough for them it's good enough for all events.
Image captioning. Sending out a slew of pictures or posting on event photo galleries with file names like DSC4756812, with no caption information beyond the Event Name is unforgivable.
It's fine for fleet shots but not one boat shots.
All too often that image contains no bow number of sail number, its exciting close up action. The photographer looking at the lead up full boat shots for instance can easily see that information and can identify the boat and sailor.
The media seeing the one image has no chance unless he can recognise a face or a crew uniform. That would general count out the mainstream media and almost always the sailing media, unless you just want photos of Ben Ainslie or Tom Slingsby and other instantly recognisable sailors.
There is no event that can allow photographers to not provide this critical information. Rolex, Volvo, America's Cup and most small events around the world know that captioned images get used in newspapers, large and small do not. All news is local. A coast newspaper will print an event story with the lead picture of the local sailor who might be coming fifth. Sending out images with no sailors names means this cannot happen.
Why would an event or photographer do that?? To make it hard for the media?? To reduce the chance of the image being used?
Yet we routinely are told by the Event PR that there is no budget to put sailors names on images, or the photographers are too busy or they thought they were captioned but did not check. These are sponsored events!!!
Is this helping to deliver value for sponsors and the event? You can draw your own conclusions about this.
Metadata - a method of storing textual information in images defined by the International Press Telecommunications Council. Sending out four images with the same DSC47568… series of image with text in the email that say Image 1 is Bill Bloggs approaching the top mark, is hardly less unforgivable. The image one you loaded into the email may be image four in a numerically sorted computer file, this a road beset by tears (at the very least rename the images XYZ event Bill Bloggs approaching the top mark.jpg).
Professional photographers populate the Metadata set with an image caption, the full event name, their name, creation date etc. – If your event photographer is not using Metadata – ask him to start using it TODAY. TOMORROW ask him to show you the Metadata he is putting on each image.
File sizes and emails. Every now again an event attempts to distribute medium and high resolution images by email. They send seven 5 meg images attached to the one email and wonder why, it takes so long to send and routinely bounces. Many internet accounts are limited in file sizes to 5-7 meg.
Alternatively they send seven emails each with a 5 meg file. Now that's fine if they are requested, but to do it uninvited is just unprofessional.
Professionally run events like Rolex and Volvo have high res image galleries, so media can download the images they want.
Image Mode . Online images are displayed in RGB (Red Green Blue) format. There is NO internet browser or monitor that can display images in the print CMYK format, so don't ever send images in that format to any media. (Print publications custom calibrate CMYK for their particular print process.)
Compression quality settings for JPEG's. Compressing an image in a JPEG format selectively discards data.
When saving a JPG images graphics program users are presented with a choice on image quality 1-12 with a default of 10.
The higher the Quality setting, the more detail is preserved in the image, however that means a large file size.
Generally unless the image is destined for large format poster printing a quality setting of 10 for print use and 8 for online.
In summary – to produce good quality images for media use.
1. Straighten images and crop
2. Sharpen and colour correct.
3. Caption images in detail
4. Reduce file size and compress
A 1280 pixel image, edited as above will be less than 150k in file size. So there is no need to attempt to load 10 images each of 5meg, which will stop your computer cold while it tried valiantly to send out 50meg of files.'
The TetraMedia Group makes it easy for events and PR groups to load their images (and stories) to the Sail-World.com, Powerboat-world.com and MarineBusiness-World.com sites with its direct upload system.
We recommend events use that process. You will see our Submit News, Events & Pix button on the first newsline on the site on the top of every page. Note if you attempt to upload ten five meg images, total 50 meg, you will tie up your own internet connection, maybe not receiving an email for an hour and in all likelyhood timing out your internet connection. If you reduce images down to say a meg each, life will be much much easier.
If you've not bought a desktop PC monitor recently, you should know the sweet spot of size value is now 22' – which has a screen display 1920x1080 at 0.27mm pitch (94dpi equivalent) and can be purchased for around AUD$220 (U$200) NZ$290, UKGBP130.
15' Laptop generally have a screen which is 1280 pixels wide and the drive there is for finer and finer pitches. Forget dot pitch of 0.27 hello 0.1728' that is equivalent to 147dpi.
iPhones and iPads are retina display 326 dpi equivalent. Android 4 tablets and phones are 306 dpi equivalent.
(*To convert dot pitch to dpi equivalent, divide an inch (25.4mm) by the dot pitch in mm so 0.1728 laptop dot pitch calculates as 254/0.1728 =147 dpi)

That's my favourite of the ideas discussed in the article, and now I'm going through my bookshelf trying to imagine them gender-switched. I recently read Tender Is The Night and think that would be quite interesting, particularly because the author makes glaringly sexist and homophobic comments throughout. They're in a way even more glaring than the normal attitudes you get in these things because they don't match up with what's happening - so the character of Nicola Diver is repeatedly shown by her actions and in conversation to be very intelligent and then the author dismisses the idea she is intelligent by making comments about the way the minds of women work. If this was done to a male character instead I think it could be really quite subversive."She was a tight-fisted hand at the grindstone, Miss Scrooge! a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous, old sinner! Hard and sharp as flint, from which no steel had ever struck out generous fire; secret, and self-contained, and solitary as an oyster. The cold within her froze her old features, nipped her pointed nose, shrivelled her cheek, stiffened her gait; made her eyes red, her thin lips blue; and spoke out shrewdly in her grating voice."
Any novels on your bookshelf that could use a full gender-switch?

WORCESTERSHIRE Wildlife Trust will be raising a glass or two to local brew Nightjar which could prove a welcome money-spinner for the organisation.
Bromsgrove based Bird's Brewery have promised to donate 2p for every bottle and 2.8p from every pint sold to help fund the Trust's conservation work across the county.
Trust volunteer Matthew Lissimore from Brierley Hill designed the label for the beer's pump-clip and bottles which launched earlier this month.
Already the brew has been hailed a huge success and the Trust's communications manager Wendy Carter said: "They've already sold out their first batch, but there's no end date to the deal. As long as people keep buying Nightjar, they'll keep brewing it."
Beer drinkers can enjoy a taste of Nightjar at two of the brewery pubs, the Admiral Rodney in Berrow Green or the Ladybird Inn at Bromsgrove.
They can also obtain bottles from the brewery's own shop in Old Burcott Lane.
Wendy Carter added: "Our Business Development officer Delia Shannon approached a number of local breweries and Bird's proved to be brilliant. It also helps that the name goes down well with the Wildlife Trust."

"These invitations are of very nice quality, the design is very stunning. I like that the invitations are printed on good and firm material, not flimsy or thin in the least. Loved the coordinating print on the back of invitation.They were perfect! I was even more delighted that when they were received, I started getting texts and phone calls about how beautiful the invitations were, stating stunning, beautiful, sophisticated, and very classy!"
"I was very happy with my purchase of the Garden Gowned invitations for my daughter's Bridal Shower. Although they were smaller than I thought them to be (I didn't pay attention to the size measurements) I was very happy with how lovely they are. The design is beautiful on both the front and the back. Service and delivery were prompt and professional. I was sorry I did not order any of the matching extras, so I think I will go back and place another order, it's a lovely set!"
"I ordered these along with the recipe cards for my sister's bridal shower. I like size, and colors. I ended up using the chat line to discover the fitted rectangular envelopes so I wouldn't have to pay for extra postage (only wished they came in different colors besides white) Only problem I had was with putting my return address on envelopes, vs. address on invitations, site kept wanting to make it the same which it wasn't, which is why I'm glad I used the professional review. She called me and emailed me since she found the error! Which made me very happy."
"The design is beautiful, and the designer worked with me to personalize the colors and appearance of the text. I love it!"
"This shower invite is perfect....vey attractive! I did it in pink with the back of the invite in the same pattern as the dress. The background color looks more like a dark grey than black, and that goes extremely well with the pink. The invite also had a nice weight to it and it was not necessary to use the heavier paper."

- "Ripper just pines when I'm away."
- —Marjorie Dursley[src]
Ripper was one of Marjorie Dursley's twelve bulldogs. The dog whined while Marjorie was away, resulting in her taking him if she went away on trips (for example, to visit her brother at Privet Drive), while leaving the others to be cared for by Colonel Fubster.
The dog had at one time chased Harry Potter up a tree in the Dursley's yard after Harry had trodden on his paw. Harry was stuck there until Marjorie called him off after midnight.
Marjorie also has the habit of sharing table scraps with him, such as licking the plate or licking brandy or wine off of her glass during mealtimes. In 1993, Marjorie brought Ripper with her when paying a visit to the Dursleys. His growling directed Marjorie's attention to Harry, but he later sank his teeth into Vernon's leg when she started to float away after being blown up by Harry.[1]
Author's comments
In December 2012 comments written for Pottermore, Rowling stated that she regretted making Marge a breeder of bulldogs, as she now knows them to be a non-aggressive breed, and her sister owns one. She does note, however, that they do look grumpy, and thus suited Marge.[2]
Behind the scenes
- In the American version, Harry treads on Ripper's tail, but in the British version he treads on his paw.
- Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (First appearance)

By Arthur Kroeber
Is China turning into Russia? After last month's arrest of the head of Rio Tinto's iron ore business in China, reportedly on suspicion of spying, one could be forgiven for thinking so.
By Russia, we mean a country in which ordinary commercial negotiations are routinely subject to interference by state security forces, where foreign companies face constant risk of arbitrary abrogation of contracts and expropriation of assets, and business executives quite rationally fear for their liberty and occasionally their lives.
Fortunately, it appears that a lot of people within the Chinese government were asking exactly the same question, and desperately trying to convince their superiors that the correct answer ought to be "No."

Sneak Peak: Juno Temple in the October Isssue of ASOS Magazine
Juno Temple is the UK's magazine cover girl, getting you ready for a chic fall–courtesy of ASOS.
-Anisa Young
You may have noticed her in The Three Musketeers, Atonement and Notes on a Scandal, but UK actress Juno Temple really made audiences sit up and pay notice with her appearance in The Dark Knight Rises.
The 23-year-old actress graces the cover of October's ASOS magazine. The accompanying interview sheds a lot of light on this up-and-comer. "I've had extraordinary experiences… you walk on that set (The Dark Knight Rises) and your mind is blown–-but then I did a tiny independent film called Little Birds with Kate Bosworth and we made it in 17 days and that blows my mind, too. I love it." We're going to see a lot more of Juno: she's got 7 films in the works, including Jack and Diane with Riley Kough.
Read Get Taylor Swift's New Album Photo Shoot Look for Less
Juno's fashion sense is like her movie choices: she loves both big budget items and great low-priced finds. Juno owns well over 80 pairs of Agent Provocateur underwear. It's her favorite indulgence. As Juno revealed in the issue, "I think lingerie is a really powerful thing for a woman… underneath, it makes me fee like a woman and I love being a woman. I think you should secretly indulge in that every day." However, when Oscar time came, she when thrift-vintage. "I went to Squaresville, this vintage store in Los Feliz. They had this beautiful bias cut, electric blue, floor-length gown, with a zip up the front and a big sash. I was in the room wearing a dress worth $17. That was cool."
Grounded and focused, Juno is adjusting well to LA. She told the magazine, "and I never thought I'd say this, because I love rain, but actually waking up to the sunshine does wonders for your brain."
Good thing she loves her new home because it's obvious that Hollywood loves her right back. Read the rest of the issue online and get ready to fall completely in love Juno!

A CONVICTED conman who preyed on elderly people Dudley by hitting them with massive bills for routine plumbing work has been locked up for 16 months.
Steven Greenaway charged one woman £1,527 for work and materials an expert estimated should have cost no more than £164 while another woman had an invoice for £787 for 40 minutes work.
Greenaway, who was spared a prison sentence in 2012 after he charged a vulnerable 78-year-old Oldbury man £2,000 to repair a leaking tap, wiped away a tear as he was led away to begin his spell behind bars.
Judge Michael Challinor told the 41-year- old his seven victims had been "seriously overcharged for something inadequately carried out or unnecessarily carried out."
He said Greenaway, of Marlpool Lane Kidderminster, had clearly selected his victims because he believed they would be susceptible to the exaggerated bills he was handing out for his plumbing work.
The judge said there had been financial harm but he had left his victims "shocked and dismayed at being deceived in their own homes."
Greenaway used his status as a self-employed plumber responding to emergency calls to defraud his customers by grossly overcharging for work and materials.
He pleaded guilty to 13 fraud charges and asked for one other similar offence involving a Dudley woman to be taken into consideration.
A toilet in the woman's downstairs bathroom was blocked and Greenaway gave her an invoice for £489 before saying he needed a further £780 for materials which he was given in cash.
Mark Jackson, prosecuting, said a woman living in Barrs Road, Cradley Heath, was given the bill for £1,527 after discovering a leak in an outside toilet while a woman in Meres Road, Halesowen, was charged £787 for fixing a leak.
Christopher O'Gorman, defending, said Greenaway had been struggling financially at and was now employed as a despatch rider.

Post-Christmas Gift Return Rush Begins [AUDIO]
Whether it's a DVD they already owned, or a sweater that's way too big, the day after Christmas is when people flock to stores to make their returns.
Edgar Dworsky of ConsumerWorld.org suggests three things you can do Thursday, to ensure a smooth return experience: be familiar with stores' return policies, do not open the product or products you plan to return, and make sure any receipts are kept handy.
If you don't have a receipt, you could find yourself at the mercy of the store. In that case, Dworsky said a little extra politeness is always helpful.
"If you do that, you should do fairly well but don't expect that you're going to get cash back," Dworsky said. "In most cases, even with a gift receipt you're going to get an even exchange, a gift card, or you're going to get a merchandise credit for the amount that was paid."
Without a receipt, the store credit might not be worth the amount you would expect, but rather the lowest price at which the item was sold within the previous 90 days.
Knowledge of return policies is also very important, according to Dworsky. While you're waiting in line at any particular store, he suggests you familiarize yourself with that store's policy, and make sure you fall within its parameters.
Dworsky also said many retailers have special "holiday return" policies that can give you more time to head back to the store.
"But they're kind of cheap, and they don't put up signs all over the store," Dworsky said, "so you do not realize you might have some return rights into January."
Both Walmart and Best Buy have holiday return policies that extend into the middle of next month.
Ultimately, Dworsky suggests customers put off doing returns the day after Christmas and instead take advantage of post-Christmas sales — which tend to be some of the best.
"There's going to be a lot of long lines with a lot of crazy people on them, tempers might be short, as the day goes on, of people working behind the counter," Dworsky said. "I would only go back the day after Christmas to wait in the return line if you know they only have one sweater left in large, and you were given a medium."

You may have noted the mock horror from Labour about IDS's comments to the Sunday Telegraph yesterday that those on benefits may need to travel to work. It's described by the Labour-supporting Mirror as an "extreme Norman Tebbit-style 'on yer bike' policy".
Here is a link to the interview when Caroline Flint two years ago suggested that unemployed people getting housing benefit should, in effect, be turfed out. She was, of course, the Labour housing minister. It appears to be exactly the same policy. What goes around comes around. Read more

Topic: TEDDY's PET Results
Doctor just called and from this 1st PET Scan after having cyber knife in December, the Miracle Man has again come through with flying colors! The scan showed only a small soft tissue left and the Radiologist, Dr. Kresl is extremely happy with the results. Another PET in 3 months to check again. Teddy has a hard "lump" near where the deed was done and the doc wants to check that out in person. We are sure if it was anything to worry about it would have shown up on the PET. Next will be the stent exchange again for his right ureter. And just MAYBE we are going to be able to plan for a summer trip to Milwaukee the end of July to see all the kids. And with this our biggest wish is to hear good news from all of you!!!!

So...I got access to the server today.
You guys will probably be happy to hear that I've(somewhat and temporarily) fixed the moderation panel.
So that thing should be usable again.
A "real" fix would probably require updating the phpbb version and messing with some php scripts(which I can do, and probably will soon).
There will probably be some downtime(not too much) while I'm doing that, but I'll notify everyone before I do anything like that.
If you have any ideas of stuff that needs to be changed/fixed, let me know, and I'll see what I can do about it.

ORLANDO - An armed carjacking in Orlando was foiled when the two suspects couldn't drive a stick shift, according to the victim.
The incident occurred outside the Orlando Regional Medical Center as the victim, Randolph Bean, was sitting in his 2002 Millennium Yellow Z06 Corvette around 11:20 pm on Sunday.
At the time, Bean said he was waiting for his wife to get off work and the car's ignition was off. He said he saw two men approaching in his rear view mirror as he waited.
"With the gun drawn and pointing at me," said Bean. "The guy finally yanked the door open and kind of half dragged me out, and demanded that I get on the ground."
Bean said while he was held at gunpoint, the second suspect hopped in the driver's seat hoping to make a getaway. However, his high-performance sports car wouldn't start.
"The guy started screaming at me, 'How do I start the car?,'" said Bean. "It's got a standard transmission, so you have to push in the clutch when you start it. I told the guy that."
But Bean said the man didn't understand how to and was only getting more enraged.
"Four times the guy screamed at me, cussed at me about 'How do I start the car?' and finally, the other fella goes 'It's a stick!,' said Bean.
Bean said at that point, the men took his keys, wallet and phone, and then ran off. He said he is now worried the thieves may come to his house and try again.
"Well, if they can't drive a stick, they might have a buddy that can," said Bean.
For now, Bean said his yellow Corvette is in hiding at an undisclosed location.
If police are unable to find these two men, Bean said he'll have to change the Corvette's locks, ignition and keys. He estimates it will cost as much as $800.
Bean describes both carjackers as black males between 17 and 25 years old. He said police dusted the Corvette for fingerprints, but as of Monday night, the two are still on the run.

What are the dimensions??
what size is it ?????
The box is more than I expected, was very good deal. Comes with four holes in the bottom, plus lag screws and bolts to allow fastening the safe to floor or furniture. Holes come plugged, presumably to block moisture.
Very easy to set and reset code for digital lock. Keys are provided to use in well-hidden lock when necessary. LEDs on door indicate when correct code has been entered and when batteries are dying. Adjustable shelf allows for weapons on one level and accessories on another level. I will buy another when necessary.
I like the portability and lock features on this. Can be moved easily to different locations as you see fit.
Have had this model about a month now and so far so good. It was heavier than I thought it would, what a pleasant suprize that was.I bought my son the next size down and he loves it. The key pad is smooth and not too stiff nor is it too senitive. easy too program in your own personal code, and 2 back up keys are suplied so you can replace the batteries. Over all my family loves it. At $100 it is well worth the protection.

The New York Jets, including head coach Rex Ryan, are reportedly under investigation for unsportsman like conduct after Mexican reporter Ines Sainz (above) was subjected to suggestive comments including "hoots" and "hollers" in the team's locker room Sunday, according to the New York Post:
Red-faced team execs said in a statement, "The New York Jets believe that reporters have a job to do, and it is our obligation to provide them with proper and professional access.
"[Team owner] Woody Johnson spoke with Ines Sainz of TV Azteca today to discuss the time she spent covering the team yesterday. He stressed to Ines that he expects all members of the Jets organization to conduct themselves in a professional manner at all times."
And here's where the story gets hilarious like any good tale involving sexual harassment:
Sainz posted a picture on Twitter of herself at the practice and, apparently to silence any critics, said she was not "inappropriately dressed."
She had roamed the sidelines in tight jeans, high heels and a low-cut blouse as footballs spiraled in her direction.
I included the picture here, and I'm not condoning the Jets' actions (explicitly), but anyone who brought that ass in those jeans into an NFL locker room was looking for one specific reaction and that reaction only: "Mamacita, quiero convertir esa cosa en un buffet y invitar a mis amigos a cenar revelado de salsas diversas y quacamoles. Entonces, tal vez más tarde, charadas." Don't play innocent with me!
(Thanks to Ryan who's suddenly hungry for empanadas.)

Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College promotes academic success among military service members and veterans
August 9th, 2011 | SMWC
Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College (SMWC) will use a nearly $23,000 grant from Operation Diploma, an initiative of the Military Family Research Institute (MFRI) at Purdue University, to develop programs and policies designed to boost academic success of student servicemembers and veterans on campus. The grant was part of more than $1 million that MFRI awarded, through its Operation Diploma initiative, to 25 Indiana post-secondary institutions of higher education. The colleges and universities all proposed ways to enhance services at their campuses for the state's student service members, veterans and their families.
The award to SMWC will primarily be used to create a virtual distance learning course for service members. This interdisciplinary course will benefit all service members by offering a common ground to develop the necessary skills that will empower them in future coursework, career, and life situations. The primary goals of the course are to
- provide support in a successful transition from military to higher education through evaluating servant leadership experiences and continued leadership opportunities,
- apply military established organizational, critical reading, and cognitive thinking skills to the classroom,
- utilize self experiences and the experiences of others within the course as it pertains to culture, community, faith, and the individual in an effective way to advance academic ability, and
- examine the relationship between military and civilian college life and the needed balance with accompanying life obligations and goals.
"Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College appreciates the sacrifices that our military personnel make as they serve our country. It is our honor to continue to offer an opportunity for military personnel andtheir families worldwide to earn a quality education online. We provide support services such as online tutoring to assist students every step of the way because at The Woods online doesn't mean you're alone," said Dottie King, Ph.D., president of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College.
SMWC is the oldest Catholic liberal arts college for women in the United States. For almost two centuries, the College has been enabling students to develop their abilities, think critically, communicate responsibly, engage in lifelong learning and effectpositive change in a global society. SMWC offers these opportunities to both men and women in the distance and graduate programs.
Launched with a $5.8 million gift from Lilly Endowment Inc., Operation Diploma empowers Indiana's post-secondary institutions and student veterans organizations to better serve student service members and veterans entering college for the first time, and those re-entering college after extended service or deployment.
Since 2009, Operation Diploma has awarded more than $2.4 million to Indiana colleges and universities, who have used the funds to produce more effective and supportive services or expand them for these students. This year, institutions submitted competitive proposals for grants of up $100,000.
"This year's proposals demonstrate that we are entering a new phase of campus recognition and support," said Shelley MacDermid Wadsworth, director of MFRI. "Schools are building on their successes to reach for even higher goals and attracting the attention of their neighbor and peer institutions in the process."
In addition to SMWC, MFRI funded grants at the following institutions:
- Ball State University
- Franklin College
- Indiana State University
- Indiana University
- Indiana University Purdue University Ft. Wayne
- Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis
- Ivy Tech Community College Central Administration (14 regional campuses)
