Tim Carman/The Washington Post
The Chick-fil-A sandwich doesn't come these days without a healthy heaping of the culture wars.
When is a chicken sandwich more than a piece of protein on a bun? When it's a culinary weapon in the culture wars.
After Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy's comments on marriage launched a national "Eat Mor Chikin" backlash, another cultural bigwig, former Arkansas governor and Baptist preacher Mike Huckabee, announced Sunday that he was coordinating a campaign in support of the "company run by Christian principles."
"Chick Fil-A Appreciation Day," Huckabee wrote on his Facebook page, has a simple goal: "Let's affirm a business that operates on Christian principles and whose executives are willing to take a stand for the Godly values we espouse by simply showing up and eating at Chick Fil-A on Wednesday, August 1."
Huckabee continued: "Too often, those on the left make corporate statements to show support for same sex marriage, abortion, or profanity, but if Christians affirm traditional values, we're considered homophobic, fundamentalists, hate-mongers, and intolerant."
More than 95,000 have agreed via the event's page to participate. (Updated.)
Eat Mor Chikin, take a stand against gay marriage?
The company, which the Cathy family proudly claims to operate by biblical principles, including famously keeping its restaurants closed on Sundays in observance of the Sabbath, may be feeling the heat. It wrote on its Facebook page July 19: "Going forward, our intent is to leave the policy debate over same-sex marriage to the government and political arena."
A July 16 article in the Baptist Press drew attention to Cathy's beliefs about marriage. "Some have opposed the company's support of the traditional family," wrote K. Allan Blume, the article's author. " 'Well, guilty as charged,' said Cathy when asked about the company's position."
Cathy continued: "We are very much supportive of the family — the biblical definition of the family unit. We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God thanks for that."
The attention focused by Cathy's comments to the Baptist Press also pointed people to statements the businessman made on "The Ken Coleman Show,"a syndicated radio show.
On the June 16 episode, Cathy said (listen here):
In response to Cathy's comments, Boston Mayor Thomas Menino told the Boston Herald that he would act to block the company from opening in his city: "Chick-fil-A doesn't belong in Boston. You can't have a business in the city of Boston that discriminates against a population." The Jim Henson Co. promised to avoid future partnerships with the eatery, and thousands tweeted, blogged and took to Facebook in opposition to Cathy's statements on marriage.
On the other side of the food-as-political-fight, Oreo found its popular cookie in the center of the gay rights debate in June, when a rainbow-colored Oreo was posted to its Facebook page on Pride Day "with accompanying text that read 'Proudly support love!' "
Your Take: Have you taken a stand on Chick-fil-A's marriage controversy? Will you take up Huckabee's case on Aug. 1, or are you more likely to stay away from the sandwich shop in protest? Is the gay rights cause now a food fight?

ONCE again, the weather has had its impact and many meetings, unsurprisingly, have been called off but Catterick did go ahead on Monday and the Grand National-winning combination of Sue Smith and Ryan Mania teamed up for a double.
Herdsman and Pinerolo were their two winners, with Mania donning Festival-winning silks on both occasions as Herdsman is owned by Trevor Hemmings and Pinerolo runs in the old Mister McGoldrick colours.
Herdsman won the £12,000 Weatherbys Private Banking Handicap Chase by two and a quarter lengths from the staying- on Everaard and could be Eider Chase-bound.
"I think he's best in small fields, he sulked a bit at Haydock last time out," said Mania. "He's got loads of scope and stays all day, but he's had plenty of problems.
Hemmings' racing manager Mick Meagher said: "We'll think of something like the Eider Chase but you'd have to worry about that being on, it's only a week on Saturday at Newcastle.
"He's in the four-miler at Cheltenham but we'll have to see, he stays very well."
Pinerolo, the well backed 13/8 favourite, justified strong support in the market to win the Weatherbys Hamilton Insurance Handicap Chase in fine style.
Last of three behind two classy types at Wetherby, he was far from disgraced and with the winner of that contest Many Clouds heading for the Reynoldstown and the runnerup, Indian Castle, subsequently winning at Cheltenham, the form is clearly useful.
Smith said: "I think the step up to three miles has helped him, but I was concerned about the ground, it is very sticky out there.
"I'm pleased for the owners, it's been a long time since Mister McGoldrick was winning races for them. He wasn't disgraced at Wetherby, I suppose, but he was beaten a fair way."
Smith's husband Harvey said: "I think the others just stopped, hopefully the handicapper will take that into consideration."
Smith and Mania were denied a treble when top weight The Clock Leary wore down long-time leader Blake Dean in the yorkshireoutdoors.
co.uk Handicap Hurdle.
Hailing from the red-hot yard of Venetia Williams, The Clock Leary was only fourth at Southwell when well-fancied.
As with so many from his stable he showed endless reserves of stamina to just get the better of Blake Dean by half a length after a terrific tussle on the run-in.
Aidan Coleman was once again seen to good effect on the 100/30 chance as he took his strike-rate for February to over 30 per cent.
"I think I rode him wrong the last day at Southwell, I tried to make the running,"
said Coleman. "He's only a novice still, so to win a handicap off top weight is a good effort."
Champion jockey Tony McCoy has been a regular visitor to Catterick of late and was also rewarded with a double.
His first win came as a surprise in the racinguk.com Novices' Hurdle when Jonjo O'Neill's Capote got the better of the long odds-on favourite I Need Gold.
McCoy had done his homework and kept a wide passage throughout, whereas Jason Maguire stuck tight to the rail and while the favourite drew level again at the last, Capote, also owned by Hemmings, pulled out more to win by a length and three-quarters.
Meagher said: "That was nice, Tony said he did everything right and he'll make a nice chaser."
It was McCoy and Maguire who dominated the finish to the Cheltenham Preview Evening February 28th Handicap Hurdle, with McCoy coming out on top again on Hawaii Five Nil.
This time McCoy was on the favourite as O'Neill's six-yearold was sent off at 11/4, but Maguire changed his tactics and also took the wide route.
Hartside still had claims at the last, too, and while Maguire forced Short Takes up to challenge McCoy after the final flight, Hawaii Five Nil eventually prevailed by a length and a quarter.
Alan Swinbank's Georgian Firebird was an impressive nine-length winner of the bumper under Paddy Brennan.
The in-form Swinbank was also on the mark at Ayr on Tuesday with Tiny Dancer in the novices' Chase under Brian Hughes, who said afterwards: Tiny Dancer is a big lad and was never going to be a hurdler. He missed a couple out but it was tacky ground and was his first run over fences and though he didn't beat a lot he'll improve on that."
Musselburgh staged a good card on Wednesday and there was a dramatic conclusion to the Edinburgh Evening News Handicap Chase.
The 3-1 favourite Brieryhill Boy had jumped his rivals silly and had the race in the bag for Willie Amos and Brian Harding only to fall at the last.
That left Civil Unrest in front, but he was running on empty and Chris Grant's Alpha One (8-1) stayed on grimly to win by a length in the hands of O'Regan, providing Grant with the second leg of a treble.
The opening Rural Insurance Amateur Riders' Handicap Chase was won in good style by the 4-1 joint-favourite Tears From Heaven, the first of Grant's three winners.
He was ridden by Richard Smith, grandson of Denys Smith who trained the 1968 Grand National winner Red Alligator.
"When the snow was coming in your face it was quite hard, but to be fair to the horse, he dug deep and kept galloping," said Smith.
"I just wanted to be in a handy position when we turned in as I knew he was just a galloper, he needed every yard of that.
"Chris has been good to me, he has a few point-to-pointers and he lets me ride them. I use his gallop as well for my pointers.
"My granddad still goes racing at Catterick and Sedgefield and still keeps an eye on things."
Grant round off his threetimer with Donna's Diamond in the closing bumper, ridden by O'Regan's younger brother Diarmuid.

PORT WASHINGTON, N.Y. The NPD Group reported that aside from high-definition televisions and laptops, usage of consumer electronics by children ages four to 14 is stable or down from last year. Televisions (both standard and high definition) remain the most widely used consumer devices among kids with 74%of kids in this age group watching TV, while computers (both desktop and laptop) are second at 70%.
"Computers are really the hub for many kids' digital lives, simply due to the sheer variety of activities that can be accessed online," said Anita Frazier, industry analyst, The NPD Group. "Over the last year, there has been a notable increase in the percent of kids going online to visit social networking sites. However, the percentage of kids who use a computer to play a CD-ROM game, or to download or stream music has declined."
Kids who are using other devices are expanding the range of activities they do on them. For example, there's a noticeable increase in the percent of kids using cell phones for imaging and music, and portable digital music players (PDMPs) for gaming and viewing videos, NPD reported.
According to the report, HDTVs and laptop computers surpassed digital cameras last year in the percent of households that acquired one in the past 12 months, although cell phones remained the most acquired CE device with 30% of households with kids ages four to 14 purchasing in the past year.
Thanks in part to lower price points for HDTVs, when asked about their future purchase intent in the next 12 months, parents are just as likely to purchase HDTVs for their kids as they are to purchase cell phones or digital cameras, showing the increasing popularity of this CE device, NPD reported. In fact, 18% of parents surveyed stated they plan on purchasing an HDTV for their kid in the coming year, while only 17% plan on purchasing a cell phone or digital camera.
According to the report, four of the top five CE devices owned by kids are all portable. Portable video game systems, PDMPs, digital cameras and cell phones all rank in the top five CE devices personally owned by kids ages four to 14. Console video game systems are the only non-portable device to rank in the top five.
New to this year's study is the ownership of accessories for cell phones, PDMPs and portable video game systems. With 61% of cell phone owners, 66% of PDMP owners, and 88% of portable video game system owners having at least one non-essential accessory, accessories are a source of revenue in the CE market that cannot be understated, according to NPD.

I own several two letter domain names under the TLD .tc so (xx.tc for example).I registered them originally in March 2007.
When I registered them, and at the time the pricing was $59.00USD per year.
However, they have just announced that from now (without even a notice period by the sounds of it!) renewals will cost £3000+VAT. This is a price hike of well over 1000%!
See: http://iwantmyname.com/blog/2012/08/3-easy-steps-to-ruin-the-reputation-of-a-countrys-domain-extension.html for more info.
Now this wouldn't be much of a problem (Although, frustrating!) but for the past five years my primary email address, the one I use for pretty much everything has been on a two letter .tc domain because it's quick to type as well as the one ALL my contacts have.
The domain will need to be renewed in march next year at a cost of £3600. Obviously I cannot afford that, let alone every year!
Is there any legal basis for me to challenge this?!
I can see how they would be allowed to start charging new registrations at any price they want... but renewal of existing ones? That can't be right, surely?!
I don't mind paying more, but to go from under £50 a year to £3600 is just plain wrong.
Any advice? Is there any other TLD that has done this in the past and set a similar precedent? I imagine if ICANN or Nominet suddenly did this they wouldn't be allowed!
The two character TLDs all belong to specific countries and so the countries can do whatever they like with their TLD as they own it. The .tc domain belongs to Turks and Caicos Islands and so whatever is being done with it would require their permission. Presumably either they have decided to really cash in on the leasing out sub-domains or one of the domain registrars they have authorised to lease them out has decided to cash in. You might see if there is an alternate domain registrar you can move the domains to that doesn't charge as much.
Unfortunately the price rise is coming from the people who have total control of the TLD (at the same level as ICANN or Nominet) so it will affect every registrar
I'm in the same situation, but it looks like we may be in luck!
They just changed the pricing on their website to now be $45GBP for 2-letter domains! (~$75 USD)
Reference [Google Cache of the same page, showing the pricing you and I were aware of. (and [URL="http://cl.ly/image/0U3y1N093k3k"]screenshot](http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:1ymX08XQyb8J:https://adamsnames.com/pricing/+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us) in the event it updates)
Now my problem is that they only extended domain til November 13th, but their latest announcement is that everything is frozen through December 4th. Hopefully they take action today -- and not the case that my domain is dead for 3 weeks!
Not impressed with their management so far.
Nope - they didn't extend the domains. Mine is now expired, with no way to renew. Just sent them a message through their contact us form.
Buying an international domain or one from your own country would have avoided this type of problem. Those countries that sell their country specific domains internationally can decide to make changes like this at any time.
Never heard of .tc, what is it for?

Expert Advice
HOW TO: Guarantee Even Color Uptake
"Getting even color presents challenges to so many colorists," says Deb Gavin, Keratin Complex platform artist. At a recent photo session for Modern Salon, Gavin demonstrated HOW TO use foils properly to prevent haircolor from "uptaking" unevenly. "Whenever I am doing all over color I've learned to either roll or layer foil instead of folding. Folding can actually 'push' the color around and may alter the end result."
In this short video, Gavin shows how to use foils to guarantee even color uptake.

Estrogen Depletion and ADHD Worsening
I am a 51 year old female with lifelong ADHD. I have taken stimulant medication(Adderall) for eight years, and it has been mostly effective for me. For the past year, I have been in perimenopause and have noticed my ADD symptoms (attention and impulse control especially)are getting more frequent, severe and frustrating. What can help with this? Would hormone supplementation therapy(specific to the ADD brain`s needs) be helpful? If not, what has research found to be helpful??
I'm not aware of any studies specifically looking at ADHD during menopause. Depression is more common during that time, and needs to be treated with antidepressants. Hormone therapy is not effective. I would see your psychiatrist for an adjustment of your medications.

Here at Bob's Red Mill, we love good bread, especially when it's made with whole grains. Do you know what we love even more? Good whole grain bread that has flavor, loft, chewy crumb and hearty crust. Sure, you can throw together some flour, water, salt and yeast and make a perfectly acceptable loaf. But with a little bit of natural action (known as fermentation) your loaf can go from good to extraordinary!
In this series, we'll explore the different types of starters and how to use them, incorporating whole grains, to produce the best bread you've ever made. Once you go starter, you'll never go back!
You may ask yourself: what is a starter? Answer: magic. Kinda. Starters are fermented cultures much like beer, wine, yogurt, kombucha, coffee and chocolate (betcha didn't know about those last two, huh?). The natural yeasts and bacteria that surround us in the air and on the surface of grains are allowed to grow and multiply and create a bubbly little environment that, due to their carbon dioxide output, will give your bread strength, moisture, extended shelf life, color, chewier crumb and fabulously complex flavors.
If starters seem a bit intimidating, using a preferment will be a great big baby step into the world of natural yeast cultures. Preferments are similar to sours and levains and provide many of the same benefits. They also have a limited life, so there is no obligation to remember to feed them and keep them alive. Essentially, a portion of the flour, water and yeast are mixed and allowed to ferment for up to 48 hours before tossing it in with your bread dough.
Let's begin with two of the easiest preferments: pâte fermentée and sponges.
Pâte Fermentée, which sounds so fancy and sophisticated, is essentially old dough. That's right, old dough. And it's so easy! If you bake bread daily or every-other-day simply pinch off 1 – 2 oz of dough per loaf and save it in the refrigerator. The next day, toss that same ratio of dough into the fresh batch you're currently mixing. You are not going to notice a huge flavor boost but the gluten strength, moisture and crumb will definitely benefit.
A sponge is another super easy and approachable preferment. With the sponge method, a portion of the flour, water and yeast are mixed together and allowed to sit at room temperature for 30 – 60 minutes. This mixture will begin to rise just like bread dough and you will see a marked difference in the height of the final baked bread. To use a sponge, follow this formula: from your bread recipe use 30% of the total flour for the sponge. Add an equal amount (by weight) of water and all or half of the yeast. You'll know your sponge is ripe and ready to use when the batter is slightly bubbly. Add this sponge with your remaining liquid ingredients and proceed with your recipe as usual.
Bob's Red Mill Rye Bread Mix made with the standard method (L) compared to the mix made with the sponge method (R). The sponge method has more height, an even crust and a more open crumb.
Prepare 30 – 60 minutes before baking.
Flour 30% of the total flour from your bread recipe
Water equal weight as 30% of total flour
Yeast 50 – 100% of total yeast

Detailed Description:
Dental implants are a valid and reliable method to replace missing teeth. The major requirement for their success is an adequate volume of bone into which they can be placed. One widely used method to augment bone at the time of placing the implant is to use a bone substitute rather than taking a block bone graft from the patient. Successful augmentation in the vertical direction has often proved difficult, however, the investigators have developed a technique to achieve this in the investigators patients using a synthetic bone substitute, Osteon (Implantium, CE0120) in an attempt to avoid patients having to undergo another unnecessary surgical procedure.

Further study details as provided by Research and Education in Dentistry:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- The success of dental implants in alveolar bone augmented in the vertical direction with Osteon [ Time Frame: 3 years ]The implants will be deemed successful at each time point if the radiographic bone level remains at 2 mm above the level of the implant, i.e. at the same height as when placed. Given that we know precisely the dimensions of the abutments placed in the implant, this provides the necessary calibration in order to undertake this assessment. If the bone level is lost, the procedure will be deemed to have failed.

A lack of trust continues between the former team-mates after Bond's inflammatory letter to New Zealand Cricket regarding the handling of the Ross Taylor captaincy saga and his assessment of the general team culture.
The Herald on Sunday understands the situation is simmering because McCullum values loyalty as the most important quality in a team and Bond broke what he considered a cardinal rule by drafting his letter.
One source described their relationship euphemistically as "professional"; another, perhaps a touch dramatically, said it was "an almost untenable situation".
Exacerbating the Bond/McCullum scenario is the prior depth of their relationship. Their first New Zealand tours (to Australia) coincided during the halcyon summer of 2001-02.
Both lived in Christchurch and apparently used to have net sessions in the downtime between tours and during Bond's periods of injury rehabilitation. Yet their outlooks on life appear to have driven them apart. McCullum is more gregarious, his spirits buoyed by company; Bond is no hermit but part of his professionalism comes from enjoying solitude.
The Bond/McCullum difficulties contrast with the repaired relationship between Bond and coach Mike Hesson after Bond's letter landed on NZC desks more than seven weeks ago.
Bond is hardly a villain. He regarded what he wrote as for the betterment of the team and stuck to his principles. However, there is a feeling within the team it was premature to issue such a decree when he had not been in the job two months at that point.
His actions surprised a number within the New Zealand set-up for what has been deemed a lack of political savvy. One former team-mate said: "He was one of the most honest guys I ever played with but he might've been a bit naive here." Another former New Zealand cricketer said: "Bond has integrity and calls it as he sees it."
Another insider said Bond had shown loyalty to Taylor but "as far as being a member of a coaching staff goes, you don't write letters because it makes it look like you're looking after yourself rather than working together as a team."
Bond is understood to have been advised to start forming better relationships within the team. However, his bowling charges have had a sound impact during his brief tenure.
His exemplary discipline and demands for training accuracy have been evident. The New Zealand bowlers snared 20 wickets (in addition to Taylor's runs) to beat Sri Lanka in the Colombo test. They also took 20 wickets to enable New Zealand to win the first two one-dayers (and the series) in South Africa. Mitchell McClenaghan was successfully eased into the international ranks in South Africa in the absence of Tim Southee.
One cross against Bond's name was the inability to dismiss South Africa during the test series.
Whispers also regularly float through cricket circles of Bond's dedication to working with promising pace bowlers, especially in the CD nursery boasting Adam Milne, Ben Wheeler and Bevan Small.
Bond has helped re-model former New Zealand player Hamish Bennett's action and mentored Wellington bowler Tipene Friday.
Before Bond took the job, he was aware exceptional players rarely make exceptional coaches and acknowledged he was prepared to work at it.
"I know there are guys in the team I played with, so that presents a challenge being in a different role but it's a problem I'm prepared to deal with."
Bond has a wealth of practical experience in wicket-taking, injury recovery and courage which could be useful team. Re-building trust and passing on that knowledge is paramount right now.

Evolution Hoax
(Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's live interview dated September 2, 2010)
When they meet those who have faith, they say, 'We have faith.' But then when they go apart with their satan, they say, 'We are really with you. We were only mocking.' (Surat al-Baqara, 14)
Hypocrites tell everyone that they are Muslims. With a guilty conscience, they try to make others feel that they are Muslims. ' But then when they go apart with their satan: " We talk about religion, about the Qur'an when we are with them but this is not our purpose," they say. To whom are they speaking? They tell it to the satan in their hearts. Hypocrites are always mad. They say, "We are together with the followers of satan. We criticize them, we slander them and our purpose is their well-being. We do not criticize them because we see a deficiency in them but only because we want to mess with them."

Intense physical exercise has been shown to be associated with immunosuppression and increased rate of infection. The immunosuppressive effect of exhaustive exercise has been attributed to low salivary levels of immunoglobulin-A, decreased lymphocyte response and elevation of stress hormones. Yet some athletes can withstand intense training periods without health problems while others are prone to infections. Thus it has been postulated that other factors may interfere with immunoregulation.
The notion that macro- and micronutrients are involved in the regulation of immunological processes and the ability to cope with muscular and systemic exercise stress has been gaining attention. Particularly trace minerals have been shown to be related to cell mediated and humoral immunity function. Many investigations have reported decreased concentrations of trace elements in blood and tissues after training and competition.
A review in Exercise Immunology Review reported the data on zinc, iron and magneium status in athletes and reported on the consequences of deficiencies in these trace elements regarding exercise tolerance and immune function.
Dosage: To help support your immune system, both men and women should supplement daily with 250 to 500 mg of magnesium, up to 15 mg of zinc, and women should only supplement with 15 mg of iron per day.

Stickers and rock buttons are seriously important for any band to have. These are the classic promotional items because they are cheap to make and when displayed promote your name. What's more important to you: The latest X-Box game or 250 4.25″ square stickers to give away? Both will run you about $60.
I like to keep my my stickers and rock buttons black with white printing. Besides keeping the cost low it stands out the most.
For rock buttons (or pins as I like to call them) I use the popular RockButtons.com. The size you want is 1 inch. At least thats the standard size you see on every punk rockers jacket. 250 pins will cost you $65 and you can have 2 designs in that bunch. For $115 you can have 500 pins and 3 designs. For the rock buttons color doesn't cost more. You can also add your website URL or slogan printed along the edge of the pin at no extra charge.
You can also make your own rock buttons. You need to buy a button making machine and the button parts. Check out buttonmakers.net for everything you need to know.
When it comes to stickers your going to want to check out stickerguy.com. I discovered them when watching the video below by a guy named "Brian Botkiller". You want stickers that are each on a separate cut. If you get them on a roll you will have to cut each sticker from the roll. This doesn't really work in practice (I've tried it). You think to yourself I'll just cut them in advance but stickers cut from a roll are bent and don't hold their shape in a stack… it's messy. Luckily stickerguy is so freakin inexpensive you can afford their cut stickers. Orders from stickerguy take up to 8 weeks so order well in advance of when you need them.
With both rockbuttons.com and stickerguy.com you upload your designs via a web interface. They offer templates for Photoshop and Illustrator you can download.
The best time to hand out your free gifts is during any low in your live set. In between songs or any long breakdown. If you have any technical problems hand stuff out to buy some love! Remember to keep a few extra giveaways for the promoter and any nice looking ladies that you meet after the show.
By the way both the places I mention in this post are in the USA. If anyone knows any rock bottom cheap places to manufacture this stuff in Berlin please let me know in the comments.

Thursday morning news that China had cancelled private sales of 315,000 tonnes of soybeans scheduled to be shipped in the coming weeks depressed the grain and soybean complexes. The strong advance by the U.S. dollar probably weighed upon prices as well, since such moves increase the cost of American goods faced by export buyers. Prospects for persistent corn market tightness over the short run seems to be supporting the nearby March contracts somewhat, whereas the industry is expecting a large South American harvest early in the second quarter and a big U.S. crop this fall. Traders are unlikely to push the agricultural markets very far in either direction before the release of the weekly Export Sales reports later this morning. March corn slipped 1 1/2 cents to $6.87 3/4 in early morning trading, while December dipped 2 cents to $5.85 1/2 per bushel.
The USDA announced Thursday morning that China had cancelled delivery of 315,000 tonnes of soybeans previously scheduled for the 2012-13 crop year. As one would expect, CBOT futures reacted poorly. Futures actually bounced substantially around midsession despite that news, but ended the day having fallen moderately. Still, the recovery from intra-day lows might be interpreted as signaling a forthcoming technical bounce. That may be a big reason the soy complex was decidedly mixed in overnight trading. We wouldn't be particularly surprised by a strong positive reaction if the USDA Export Sales data proves supportive. March beans edged 1/4 cent higher, to $13.86 3/4 in overnight activity, whereas March soyoil fell 0.26 cents to 50.44 cents/pound and March meal advanced $1.2 to $405.4/ton.
The wheat markets proved even more amenable to a Thursday rebound than did their counterparts in the corn and soybean pits. The fact that current circumstances do not appear very conducive to wheat gains rendered the rise that much more impressive. Ultimately, traders seemingly concluded the recent drop was overdone and the market is now due for a significant rebound. Prices were mixed in Thursday night trading, thereby suggesting the results of the weekly Export Sales report will set the tone of trading for the balance of the week. March CBOT wheat slid 1 cent to $7.54 1/2 in early morning trade, but March KCBT wheat rose 1 cent to $8.12 ¼ and March MGE futures advanced 2 3/4 cents to $8.49 1/4 per bushel.
Cattle futures surged to fresh highs Thursday in apparent response to strong wholesale gains and to widespread anticipation of another jump in country prices for fed cattle before the weekend. Prices rose farther in overnight action despite a modest afternoon setback in beef cutout. Again, the traditional first quarter cattle rally will probably be exaggerated by extreme tightness in feedlot holdings of fed cattle, especially if Great Plains weather deteriorates during the coming weeks. February cattle seem set to begin the Friday pit session 0.12 cents higher, at 133.97 cents/pound, while the April future was last quoted 0.15 cents higher at 137.47 cents/pound.
CME lean hog futures tried to follow their live cattle counterparts sharply higher Thursday, but ended the day posting much less impressive gains. Still, the situation seems quite supportive of short-term swine prospects, especially after pork cutout jumped 1.71 cents Thursday afternoon. Cash quotes also proved quite firm. Bulls are rather obviously banking upon a sizeable seasonal advance over the next six weeks, as well hog price history implying a strong historical tendency to jump to annual highs in late spring and/or early summer. Still, the hog/pork situation isn't nearly as tight as that for cattle and beef. February hogs gained 0.10 cents to 86.50 cents/pound overnight, while June futures inched 0.05 cents to 99.00 before the Chicago opening.
Cotton futures apparently moved in opposition to developments in the grain and soy markets Thursday and eventually closed moderately higher on the day. Ultimately, recent news has been much more supportive of the white fiber market than for its crop counterparts, which has been reflected in a moderate upward trend versus their general declines. Still, a short-term test of major support at moderately lower levels seems rather likely at this point, especially if the result of the weekly USDA Export Sales report disappoint the domestic industry. March futures slipped 0.07 cents to 75.32 cents/pound in overnight action, while December fell 0.56 cents to 78.91 cents/pound.

Standing tall and thin, 17-year-old David Willig leads his fellow Scouts in completing his Eagle Scout project at Safety Village, an educational playground that teaches youth about safety. Miniature houses and businesses fill the space, along with a single, white church.
Earning Eagle Scout has been Willig's goal since he joined Boy Scouts 10 years ago. The home-school student has until his 18th birthday to finish the long list of requirements, and barring any major hiccups, he should achieve the rank by year's end.
But that's time the other Scouts don't have.
Heartland Church, 1025 Vance Ave., has chartered Troop 442 since 1999. Once a large group, the troop now has about 20 youth, about three of whom worship at Heartland.
Leaders of Troop 442 are choosing to not continue with Scouting when their charter expires at the end of the year.
The Boy Scouts of America was no longer a good fit, troop leaders say, when the national body changed its membership standards to not deny membership "on the basis of sexual orientation or preference alone." National delegates voted 757-475 in May to adopt the new membership policy.
Troop leaders met the Monday after the national vote to decide how it would affect their troop. It was a fairly clear-cut decision, committee member Gary Willig, David's father, said.
"The principle is why," Gary Willig said. "It's just in direct conflict with biblical view of practicing homosexuality and calling it OK."
BSA is still working out policy and procedural details in light of the resolution, ahead of the Jan. 1 implementation.
Scout executive John Gliot said three chartering organizations in the Anthony Wayne Area Council – which works with more than 100 charter partners in 11 counties – have expressed interest in leaving Scouting, with only one making a firm decision to do so.
"Our primary message is the Boy Scouts of America is here to provide the program to young people," Gliot said. "We were doing that before the change, and we're doing it after."
For Troop 442, whose leaders — supported by Heartland— decided to not continue Scouting after this year, much will remain the same, with a few changes. There will be no more popcorn sales, because part of the proceeds goes to the national body. No summer camp with other troops.
But the boys of Troop 442 will still work toward their badges and rankings until the end of the year. They'll still go on camping trips, like the one the Scouts are on this week at Turkey Run State Park in Bloomingdale, Ind.
Fifteen of the troop's Scouts are on the weeklong trip filled with hiking, canoeing and horseback riding. It's in lieu of the summer camp that Troop 442 usually attends along with many other area troops. It also is the last big camping trip the boys will take together.
Troop leadership will meet in October to determine the next step for the Scouts of Troop 442. What happens to the Scouts' bond after that remains unknown.
David Willig says the national ruling conflicts with the pledge the Scouts make to be "morally straight."
"Most of the guys in this troop think the new resolution is complete bullcrap," Willig said.
He helped the boys as they sawed down overgrowth and dragged dead branches to the back of a flatbed. He moved them along from project to project, keeping them on task.
Scouting's highest rank is also on the minds of some of the younger Scouts. They want to follow the path defined by their older brothers who have already ascended to Eagle Scout.
Mark Spaulding, 11, stands beside his friend Thomas Wegmann, 12.
They've been in Scouting for just more than a year and often are paired as "buddies" in group activities. They looked forward to summer camp, especially free shooting. Less so: today's manual labor.
They want to achieve the star rank by the end of the year, which means more service hours and more badges.
"You just have to keep working up to the end," Wegmann, Boy Scout First Class, said. Neither plans to join another troop when Troop 442 disbands.
As Scouting buddies, the two boys will often pair up and share a tent. Spaulding, Boy Scout Second Class, recalled a wilderness survival trip where the Scouts had to build their own shelter. A strong storm collapsed a fellow Scout's structure and forced four boys into the same tent.
"If you were like a buddy, and he's gay, how could you sleep with him?" Spaulding said. "But you couldn't leave him by himself. That would be wrong. What are you supposed to do with him?"
Spaulding looks down, silent, running his foot over the wood chips beneath him. He has no answer.
It's an issue that his father, Craig, said remains unresolved. He's been an assistant Scoutmaster for 12 years and is the proud parent of two Eagle Scouts. He and Gary Willig joined the boys on Willig's Eagle Scout project, installing white window trim on a few of the miniature houses.
"You'd never put a boy and a girl in a tent, so why would you put a (straight) boy and a gay boy in a tent?" he said.
The idea that he or the troop is gay bashing is false, he said. Craig, who himself has a gay brother, said it's a lifestyle he doesn't agree with. He doesn't take issue with gays living the way they want, only with BSA changing its values.
"They're redefining what morally straight is. You just can't just redefine morality."
* * *
"I've done more work than you've done in your entire life," Wegmann jabs at Spaulding.
"Yeah, right."
Spaulding scrubs out a blue work bucket. "All right, I did this half. You do the other."
Wegmann makes his way over, motioning for the bucket.
It's part of the back of forth between the two boys, between most members of the group really. Earlier, they laughed about the television character Dora the Explorer. They took a moment to watch a hatchling hop from branch to branch. Together, they helped push Willig closer to achieving his final rank.
Spaulding knows he won't make it there, though he has no plans to seek another troop.
Gliot said the council will aid those wanting to continue with Scouting, matching Scouts with new troops and troops with new chartering organizations.
Troop 442 leaders continue the search for an organization more in line with their beliefs, Gary said, one that keeps moral and ethical standards high.
"You have to have standards some place," he said. "You have to know God's word has a say. You have to take a moral stand."
Mark and his father will see what new options develop in the new year. In the meantime, Mark will be lucky to jump two ranks by the end of the year.
He can't help but wonder as he presses the wood chips beneath his feet.
"What's the point anymore?"

DALLAS A former Dallas Cowboys player, a current Indianapolis Colts player and a former TCU player were arrested early Sunday morning at a downtown Dallas club.
They have been identified as former Cowboys linebacker Stephen Hodge, Colts defensive end Jerry Hughes and former TCU defensive tackle Cory Grant.
The three athletes were taken into custody at The Bank nightclub, 1313 Main Street, for public intoxication at around 2:30 a.m.
Police say officers working nearby noticed a disturbance in the nearby nightclub and saw it continue outside on the sidewalk. The men were taken to the City Detention Center.
All three players attended Texas Christian University. Sunday is Hodge's 24th birthday.
Hughes was drafted by the Colts in the first round of the NFL draft in 2010.
Hodge was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in 2009 but was injured his first two seasons and released by the team last November. He never appeared in a game.
As a TCU senior, Grant started all 13 games for the Horned Frogs last season and was named Second-team All-Mountain West Conference for the second year.

"She's probably one of the most complete athletes I've ever coached."Godwin was named captain of the Class AAA all-state first team, as selected by the West Virginia Sports Writers Association.A lot of the state's top players now participate in club soccer - teams that travel from November through July and play in tournaments around the country as they hone their skills to play at the next level. Such is not the case with Godwin. She's just a natural talent, Hasbrouck said."She doesn't play year-round," the coach said. "She's never been involved with club soccer, which I think is amazing."Godwin is a star on the Buccaneers track and field team, which Hasbrouck believes has been a factor in her success on the pitch during soccer season. Godwin will be attending the University of North Carolina on a track scholarship in the fall.Still, Hasbrouck has no explanation for the raw talent she exhibits in matches."Left foot, right foot, she strikes the ball equally well without even thinking about it," he said. "The biggest thing I can say about her is how humble she is with her teammates, and I think that's evident in the 30 assists." In fact, Hasbrouck said he has sometimes had to get in Godwin's face to get her to start taking shots."I would have to yell at her, 'Just take them on,'" Hasbrouck said with a laugh. "Go at the person, knock it by her, and then run downfield. In a 30- to 40-yard dash, no one is going to catch her." The coach said in those instances, Godwin would crack a grin, and do what Hasbrouck asked, which typically resulted in a goal."Then the next time down she'd be passing it around again," he said.Godwin is joined on the first team by teammate and senior defender Lauren Cvechko. Buccaneer forward Brooklyn Waddell, who also scored more than 30 goals, was named to the second team as a forward, along with Buckhannon-Upshur senior keeper Kelsey Hinzman, who had a 0.61 goals against average for the season while completing 15 shutouts in 24 matches.The Buccaneers lost in the semifinals to eventual state champion Winfield, and the Generals are also well-represented on the all-state team.Jayne Lawman made first team forward as a sophomore, scoring 31 goals, including the game-winner to beat Huntington High in the regional final, and the game-winner in the state title match against George Washington.Winfield senior Erin Midkiff also made the first team as a defender while senior forward Emily Cole was named captain of the second team after tallying 32 goals. Other first-team forwards include Charlie Lucente of George Washington and Maggie Snively of Morgantown.In the midfield, first team selections included Lindsey Thompson - a junior from Shady Spring who scored 40 goals and had 10 assists while surpassing 100 goals for her career - along with Makayla Schmidt from Morgantown and Haley Claudio of George Washington.The Huntington tri-captains - seniors Kelsie Burns, Braddick Price and Summer Wheatley - are also included. Price was named to the first team as a defender, while Burns and Wheatley made the second team.The remaining first-team defender is Savannah Barajas of Woodrow Wilson.Michelle Newhouse of Capital and Erica Yohn of Morgantown represent the keepers on the first team. Newhouse was also named player of the year by the West Virginia Coaches Association, while Yohn was named keeper of the year.

Sun Press Newspapers
"Join us in bringing the spirit of Main Street to Washington," said Delano attorney Tom Emmer, as he announced that he is running to represent the Sixth District in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Emmer, a Republican, chose a location for his announcement that is keeping with this theme — Lions Park on River Street, one of the main streets of Delano. He took a risk in choosing an outdoor site for unveiling his candidacy and won. Rain stopped just in time for press and the crowd to gather.
He said he was surprised by the decision of current Republican Representative Michele Bachmann to not seek another term. "Michele has served the citizens of the Sixth District well," Emmer said.
After discussing the possibility of running for Bachmann's seat with his wife Jackie and his children, he decided to run once again for public office.
His most recent campaign for public office ended with his narrow loss to Mark Dayton in the race for Minnesota governor in 2010. Emmer served on city councils in Independence and Delano and went on to serve for six years as a state representative from Wright County.
"I have to tell you that I have never felt more compelled in my life to serve," Emmer said about running in the Sixth District. "It seems like every day we hear about another out of control Washington power grab. The IRS has targeted grass roots groups based upon their political leanings."
He also mentioned the Justice Department obtaining telephone records of reporters and trying to tell Congress that this was legal. Then he talked about Americans paying for bureaucrats staying at $3,500 a night hotel rooms and spending thousands for portraits of Michael Jordan and a happiness expert.
Emmer said that, according to recent polls, one in five of Americans "do not trust their government to do what's right and a clear majority of Americans believe our country is headed in the wrong direction."
"I'm running for Congress to change the culture in Washington and restore Americans' trust in our government," he said.
The partisan crowd cheered many of his comments during his speech.

Prior Learning From Experience (PLE)
At Evergreen we know that vital learning takes place outside of the classroom. With the Prior Learning from Experience program, you can get credit for what you've learned in the workplace or the community.
Types of Experience
Credit may be offered for learning experiences that are equivalent to college level. Past participants have received credit for:
- Developing plans for wetlands remediation
- Union administration and organizing
- Human resources management
- Developing and managing a domestic violence program
- Marketing and graphic design
- Running a small business
- Grantwriting and nonprofit management
PLE credit is not available for vocational or craft skills, self-improvement, or any experience accepted through Prior Learning Assessment.
Cost and Number of Credits
You can receive up to 30 credits via Prior Learning from Experience. PLE credits are treated as transfer credits for graduation requirements.
Instead of paying tuition, you'll pay a $651 non-refundable assessment fee for each 10 credits earned, approximately one third the cost of tuition.
How It Works
In order to get Prior Learning from Experience credit, you write essays documenting your learning that will be evaluated. Two courses are required; they will support you in this process. You may register for other offerings while you take the PLE support offerings.
I wanted to figure out how my professional training and experience equates to college learning. I always regretted not getting my degree, and the time bonus through PLE was fantastic. Read about our students.
Apply and be admitted to Evergreen
You can take Writing from Life as a special student, but you must be admitted to Evergreen in order to take PLE Document Writing and to receive PLE credit.
Take Writing from Life
Writing from Life is a four credit course offered every quarter. In this class, you'll learn how to develop and write about your life experiences. You'll gain experience in clear and persuasive non-fiction writing in a close partnership with faculty and other students. This gives you this practice to write documentation of the life experience you want credit for.
Before you can register, you'll need to talk to the faculty and get a signature. They'll talk to you about your experience and interests, so you come to the class with ideas for your PLE documentation.
Take PLE Document Writing and create a PLE Document
You must take at least 8 credits in Prior Learning from Experience Document Writing before you can have your credits evaluated. You'll learn how to connect your professional and community experience into the equivalent college learning. You and your peers will review each other's PLE Documents and help each other improve them.
Your PLE Document is a collection of essays, research, and supporting materials to demonstrate college-level learning gained from life experiences. You can request up to 10 credits for each PLE Document. Faculty members with relevant expertise will evaluate your document, determine how much credit you've earned, and in what areas.

So you pick a design - say, a small candlestick or vase that would make an eye-catching feature on your entry-hall table. You modify the image to your liking on a laptop, then push a button on your 3-D printer - which is as easy to work as a microwave oven.
Ta-da! - there it is, your candlestick, magically emerging in three glorious, tangible dimensions.
Granted, there's a little more to it than that. But this crazy, sci-fi-sounding technology called 3-D printing - increasingly used in the aerospace, automotive and even medical industries - has now become a reality for everyday home projects. It's popping up in craft shops around the Bay Area and on TV shows like "Project Runway" (creating jewelry and accessories) and on "Grey's Anatomy" (they tried to print a liver!).
There were even 3-D-printed snowflakes strategically placed on Victoria's Secret lingerie models this season.
"That's been my favorite implementation of 3-D printing so far," jokes Mike Schierberl, product manager for Brit + Co., an online DIY crafting and home decor community that recently opened its first brick-and-mortar pop-up craft workshop, dubbed MakeShop, in a San Francisco storefront off Union Square. Just before the holidays, amid clusters of people at various tables doing "regular" crafts like folding origami trees and painting wooden nutcrackers, Schierberl led a class on 3-D printing for home design. He demonstrated how to download projects from various websites such as Thingiverse.com, or create your own designs with a computer program. He then helped the class of a dozen people "print" small Christmas tree ornaments on the boxy MakerBot Replicator 2, sitting in the middle of a long work table. Student Melissa Leebove, of Oakland, was delighted to have the honor of pushing the machine's start button. "Really? You just push this button?" she said, as the printer jolted to life, pulling a cord of plastic off a large reel, heating and melting it, then dropping it down onto a Plexiglas plate, stacking it in precision layers - back and forth, back and forth - almost like an old dot-matrix printer - building the small tree in about 15 minutes. "I love DIY projects, especially really modern ideas," Leebove said. "And to be able to have this be so accessible to everyday people, and use it for something so basic in your home - I can't buy my own printer right now - but it's really exciting."
Indeed, the printer used in this class cost around $2,000. But as with all tech devices (didn't first-generation VCRs cost that much?), prices quickly drop for various models, and you can get a basic home model for a few hundred dollars.
Plus, if you don't want to buy a machine, you can download projects and take the files to 3-D printing shops such as HoneyBee3D in Oakland, or to public-access work spaces like the TechShop centers around, or to the Brit + Co. MakeShop, which will print the items for you, for a fee, of course.
In the Brit + Co. class, the material used in the printer was a corn plant-derived plastic, a renewable resource that's potentially recyclable too, Schierberl said. But any material that can be liquefied - from chocolate to gold - can be used in high-end printers designed for such materials, said Liza Wallach, co-owner of HoneyBee3D.
In her small storefront shop next to a used bookstore in Oakland's Montclair district, passers-by check out small 3-D-printed vases, plant pots and toys displayed in the window. One man's eyes widened in amazement as he examined what looked like a hand-thrown clay pot.
The store - which opened in October, billed as the only dedicated 3-D printing shop in Northern California - offers classes in printing and use of 3-D scanners to capture the dimensions of existing items and replicate them with the printers.
While these processes may be a few iterations away from the instantaneous "Earl Grey, hot" replicators on "Star Trek," they're moving in that direction, and they're on the cutting edge in the realms of home design and crafts.
Wallach, wearing a delicate deep-blue, 3-D-printed necklace (even the chain links were printed, with no assembly required), said she's excited about the possibilities this technology makes possible.
"I came from a background of product design, specifically jewelry design," she said. "So I'm always looking at functional ways to beautify the home, to use this technology in home and garden applications, among other things. I want people to feel they can personalize items to a level they were not able to do before." It's not just for making purely decorative items, she said, but practical ones too.
"We've had people from bakeries come in to make molds for special pastries," she said. "One man came in with a refrigerator part that's not manufactured anymore - the plastic tray under the water/ice spout. He said he couldn't glue it back together. We scanned it and printed it out for him. "If you have a latch break on your baby stroller," she continued, "you can replicate the item and save the stroller, rather than have the whole thing end up in a landfill because you couldn't get a crucial part." The technology won't replace manufacturing or the arts, won't eliminate the crafter's hands-on pleasure of using scissors and Elmer's glue, said Wallach's partner, Nick Kloski. "But it'll be a hybrid. It'll enable the artist and hobbyist and handy person to create solutions to everyday problems.
"You don't have to ask yourself, 'Can I make this? Are my skills there?'" Kloski said. "This will do it for you."

TPWD Schedules Public Meetings About Golden Alga
AUSTIN, Texas — The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is holding six public meetings during May near areas hit hardest by golden alga. Agency officials will provide updates on golden alga research projects and discuss fisheries management strategies, as well as solicit public input.
Golden alga blooms during the last six months have caused fish kills in more than a dozen water bodies in north-central Texas. None of the occurrences have resulted in serious impacts to the fisheries, but they have provided researchers with opportunities to study actual events in hopes of finding solutions to this naturally-occurring threat.
Since 2001, golden alga fish kills have occurred on two dozen reservoirs in Texas. About 18 million fish have been killed by golden alga during the last 20 years, most of which were either forage or rough fish species.
This alga releases a toxin that kills gill-breathing organisms such as fish and clams. There is no known evidence of human health risks.
First discovered in Texas in 1985, golden alga (Prymnesium parvum) was identified in a fish kill in the Pecos River and has since been responsible for fish kills in the Colorado, Canadian, Wichita, Red and Brazos River systems as well.
Public meetings are slated for the following dates and locations. All meetings start at 7 p.m.
- May 10 — Texas Workforce Commission, 218 14th St., Lubbock.
- May 11 — Civic Center, 157 W. 2nd St., Colorado City.
- May 17 — Possum Kingdom Lion's Club, 142 LaVilla Road, Lake Possum Kingdom.
- May 18 — Baylor County Extension Office, 500 N. Main, Seymour.
- May 24 — Annex 3 Building, 200 N. Gordon, Granbury.
- May 25 — Lake Whitney State Park Reunion Center, 433 FM 1244, Whitney.

In the New Testament there is a parable of the Wedding Banquet(Matt22.1-14). The wedding banquet for the king's son was open to all. But one guest despite of being provided with the wedding clothes could not be counted among those who assembled or partake the joy offered. When I think of China's achievements I see how apt this parable is. China has emerged from bamboo curtain for what? China has great pretensions to play on the world stage. In order to be counted a major player it is ready to sacrifice everything in terms of people,morality and many qualities that make the joy of being humans. The authoritaian regime wants opposition silenced and dissidents jailed. China may stand in the international forum and preen like a peacock. Little does the silly bird know that he is devoid of all human values and looks naked, like the wedding guest who must be thrown out from the general merriment.
Liu Xiaobo is serving a 11 year jail sentence and his wife is put under house arrest for what? They protested at the human abuses perpetrated by the Powers that be. The best in China are put away to rot in jail and only what is freely circulated are their shoddy goods, tainted milk and cough syrups that kill the innocents at home and abroad.

Puma is about to open a huge new concept store in Osaka, Japan with over an acre of floor space. And on the flip side of that spacious location, a limited run of Puma Suedes to honor local soccer hero Kazuyoshi 'King Kazu' Miura. Three new Suedes feature the King Kazu crown on the lateral ankle area, with 111 pairs each for the black/gold and crimson/gold and a super-limited 11-pair run on the 'Rio Red' edition that's a few shades brighter. Rounding out the pack are more widely available panther, zebra, tiger and giraffe print editions with black detailing, and you can see all seven in more images below.

Doesn't seem like long ago that the epicenter of the NBA was located in hotel conference rooms around Manhattan, where league officials and union reps were grappling over BRI and so-called system issues. The lockout ended, thankfully, but what we have been left with is a very bizarre and unpredictable regular season that is, suddenly, halfway over. Here's what's stood out so far:
Three first-half surprises
1. Jeremy Lin can play. The emergence of Lin has become a story that has extended well beyond the NBA. We can parse the state of the Knicks all we want, comment on whether Lin saved Mike D'Antoni's job, debate whether Carmelo Anthony can fit into the offense or even put Lin into a wider cultural context, but we should not lose sight of the sheer unlikelihood of Lin's story—undrafted signee out of Harvard, cut by the Warriors, cut by the Rockets, nearly cut by the floundering Knicks. And of course, given an opportunity out of New York's desperation, he became one of the NBA's most recognizable players over a two-week span.
"What else can you say?" guard Landry Fields said. "He is doing a phenomenal job."
2. The Spurs are still relevant. After last season's first-round playoff ouster by the eighth-seeded Grizzlies, it looked like the aging Spurs were heading into the sunset. The early January injury to Manu Ginobili seemed to reinforce that. But, credit general manager R.C. Buford and coach Gregg Popovich—they just have a way of identifying players who can help them, guys like Tiago Splitter, Danny Green, Kawhi Leonard, DeJuan Blair, Gary Neal, Matt Bonner.
"I don't think anyone could have predicted they would be where they are," TNT analyst Steve Kerr said. "It is just a testament to how strong that organization is."
3. Dwight Howard is still in Orlando. Shortly after the Hornets shipped Chris Paul to the Clippers in December, it seemed only a matter of days until the Magic found a trade for their own disgruntled star. But Howard has not gone anywhere, and the Magic now are holding out the possibility of keeping him, especially with the team playing better lately and looking like one of the top three teams in the East.
Three first-half disappointments
1. The Celtics. Given their age and the preseason news that forward Jeff Green would require heart surgery, the Celtics were expected to take a step backward. But they've taken more than one step backward and, at times, have simply looked awful. The defense has been inconsistent, and the offense has been disjointed and plagued by turnovers.
This puts team president Danny Ainge in a tough predicament. It may be time to ship out some combination of the Celtics' Big Three—Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett or Paul Pierce—but Ainge wants to protect the team's cap space and probably would not get much of a return for his aging veterans. He would get a return on point guard Rajon Rondo, but Rondo is an All-Star caliber point guard around whom the Celtics would like to build.
The team is suffering in the short term, and the long term is not looking much better.
2. Lockoutball. Scoring is down significantly. Shooting is down, too. Injuries are up.
When the league announced its compressed 66-game schedule in the wake of the resolution of the lockout, it was clear that coaches would have to reach deep into their benches and that the stress of the schedule would put pressure on players, mentally and physically. But the level of play has been far worse than expected, and several star players—Dirk Nowitzki, Dwyane Wade, Manu Ginobili, Derrick Rose, Zach Randolph—have missed significant time for health reasons.
3. Brooklynites-to-be. The Nets are ramping up for their long-awaited move from New Jersey to Brooklyn, backed by billionaire Russian Mikhail Prokhorov and music mogul Jay-Z. Everything is in place for a franchise revitalization—except, of course, a decent roster.
The Nets hoped to begin building up to their move by pairing another star player (Howard being the obvious preference) with point guard Deron Williams. But Brook Lopez, expected to be one of the lynchpins to a Howard deal, got hurt, Howard has been taken off the trade block, and Williams is heading toward free agency with a team that is 10-24 and bound for the lottery.
The Nets need someone to put on their Brooklyn billboards. It might wind up being Anthony Morrow.
Three contenders update
1. Miami. The Heat had a few early blips. First was health, but by sitting Dwyane Wade for two weeks in January, they got themselves back to full strength. Second was zone defenses, but the more Miami has seen teams take this tack, the better they've become at attacking it.
2. Oklahoma City. The Thunder have had a pretty consistent problem—their interior defenders are very good individually but have struggled to play team defense, and the big guys offer very little offensively. Kendrick Perkins, Serge Ibaka, Nick Collison and Nazr Mohammed average fewer than 20 points per game combined, and the Thunder allow 42.6 points in the paint per game, 25th in the league.
3. Chicago. Coach Tom Thibodeau remains among the best at ensuring that his entire roster is ready no matter what injuries come up. But the Bulls have had some important ones—Rose, who has dealt with toe and back issues, and shooting guard Richard Hamilton, who has played just 11 games because of a groin injury. Getting some chemistry together with Hamilton, who could be the key to the Bulls' title hopes, is an issue for Thibodeau.

The Marketplace Fairness Act has put a big target on goods purchased out of state or online as a new revenue source for government.
Though it appears to have stalled in the House, the Marketplace Fairness Act has put an even bigger target on goods purchased out of state or online as a new revenue source for government. Most experts agree that taxation of online goods is no longer a question of if, but when. But what many businesses don't know is that even if the Marketplace Fairness Act does not pass, most states already have a back-up plan in which they can impose a "use tax" for items purchased out of state or online and brought into the state.
What exactly is a use tax? Essentially, if your business makes out-of-state purchases (e.g., furniture, office supplies, electronics, or equipment) without paying state sales tax on them, it is supposed to track such sales and cut the state a check for an amount equivalent to the unpaid tax. Of course, very few individuals pay the tax and most have never even heard of it. Businesses that have not been audited for sales/use tax may also not be aware of their liability. But with states still facing massive budget deficits, the once forgotten "use tax" is making a comeback.
Here are some of the steps states are taking to leave no use tax stone unturned:
1. If you fail to charge one of your customers the proper sales or use tax, and that customer gets audited, then you may also get audited in turn. Current audits provide the best sources and leads for future audits.
2. Some states, such as California and New York, are designing new use tax look-up tables, enabling you pay a safe harbor amount based on taxable income for purchases under a specific dollar threshold.
3. More and more states, such as California, are conducting door-to-door audits to ensure compliance with sales and use tax regulations.
Earlier this year, the California Board of Equalization (BOE) announced it will continue its door-to-door visits. As part of this program, the BOE sent letters to 12,342 business owners notifying them of upcoming visits from Statewide Compliance and Outreach Program (SCOP) teams. The visits are intended to educate retailers about properly reporting sales and use tax.
The program started in 2008 and in that time SCOP teams have visited more than 353,000 business verifying that they are registered and remitting the appropriate sales and use tax. Through this effort (as of February 2013), the BOE has identified more than $2 billion in uncollected taxes contributing to the state's "tax gap"—the difference between the amount of taxes owed and the amount paid, negatively impacting all state taxpayers.
The bottom line is that whether your business is still looking the other way or simply is not aware of the use tax compliance obligation, the risk of being retroactively assessed taxes and penalties is greater than ever. Plus, the more locations a business operates in, the more complex use tax becomes, so getting in compliance is even more important for larger companies. The only real way to ensure use tax compliance is to maintain domain expertise in determining use tax applicability—either in-house or through an outsourced third party.

Now why would anyone be covered in bandages right before being impaled on a wooden spike?
Cuz he was recovering from the injury!

Woop Woop Woop...
Did anyone ever say he died?
damned, garrosh just kill your fricking enemies.
first anduin, now taran zhu.
heck i doubt you can even wipe on him with such a track record.
garrosh: HAHA i see your down wounded, so now im gonna walk away so you can heal up and return too fight me once more! HAHA im so brilliant.
Also, it wasn't Gorehowl, but a replica.
But even if he died, what would stop Garrosh from impaling him in Stormwind anyways?
Garrosh stabbed him with the flat 'Head' of Gorehowl. Some blade undoubtedly cut in, but the wound wouldn't be lethal.
Garrosh actually improperly using a frickin' axe should be more of a scandal.
"It's 2013 and I still view the internet on a 560x192 resolution monitor!"
I imagine the Shasplosion probably did more than the axe.
Even if he died, any priest, druid, shaman, pala or dk could have just resurrected him... Or he might have had a soulstone from a warlock friend. Or anyone in a level 25 guild could have just spare several seconds to bring him back from the dead...
meh, can't the damn panda just die???
Garrish, I am disapoint!!

Rule of thumb in storytelling: Do not assume someone is dead until you see a corpse, or a severed head. If they are breathing in the last shot you see of them, they survived.
I actually called this on facebook when I saw the trailer.
That said, can I just say how stupid Garrosh AND Taran Zhu were in that trailer? Why confront a whole Kor'kron regiment on your own? Why not bring the ENTIRE Shado-Pan? Why not ask the Alliance to show up as well?
And in case of Garrosh, why not ignore him while your Kor'kron guards dogpile him? Why engage him in single combat? Because he insulted your daddy? Dude needs anger management training. (by which I mean an axe to the brains)
Strong is plot armor with this one.

Wharfedale's injury crisis appears to be over as they bid to bring an end to their dismal run of four successive home defeats against Richmond at The Avenue on Saturday.
The two-week break from SSE National League One action has certainly helped.
Captain Chris Steel, Ian Larkin, and Richard Rhodes are all fit to bolster the pack, while Christian Georgiou, Tom Davidson, Josh Prell and Scott Jordan return to the backs.
Front-rowers Adam Howard and Dan Stockdale have recovered from injury and illness to take their places on the replacements' bench.
Wharfedale's only injury concern centres on the versatile Phil Woodhead, who has been provisionally named as a replacement.
The presence of prop Steel and Rhodes should improve the performance at the scrum and line-out.
The Wharfedale pack has struggled in recent outings, and the absence of second row Rhodes has seen the club having to use back-row forwards as makeshift replacements for him.
Coach Jon Feeley saw Larkin, Georgiou, Howard and Prell have run outs for the Foresters last weekend and is relieved to be able to field a side that is almost back to full strength.
"In recent weeks it seems I have been talking to the medical team endlessly. Thankfully the break from league action has helped to reduce the injury list," said Feeley.
The coach is aware that his team face a tough test. While Wharfedale's form has tailed off, Richmond have won six of their last nine matches - a sequence which includes a victory at Blaydon.
Last Saturday, they lost very narrowly at high-flying Coventry, despite outscoring their hosts by three tries to one.
Wharfedale won 18-13 at Richmond in November and would love to repeat that result to end the dismal run that has taken some of the shone away from their pre-Christmas performances.
Feeley said: "I am telling the players that we are starting the season again.
"We must forget what has gone before but learn the lessons from those matches."
He added: "In recent matches we have had an array of experienced players sat in the stand while we have been forced to field young, inexperienced and lightweight teams.
"In the long term, the experience gained by the younger players will put them and the club in good stead, but it has been a tough time.
"The heavy ground hasn't helped either and our opponents have adapted their tactics to counter our fast-running style.
"Hopefully, now that we have a much more experienced pack available, we can establish the platform which will enable us to play the type of rugby that has served us so well."
Car parking for the match, which kicks off at 3pm, could be problematic, as the local school is unavailable and whether the adjacent field can be used will depend on conditions.
Wharfedale (home to Richmond): Christian Georgiou; Scott Jordan, Joe Donkin, Tom Davidson, Josh Prell; Tom Barrett, Matt Dudman; Chris Steel (c), Ian Larkin, Jake Armstrong, Richard Brown, Richard Rhodes, Jack Barnard, Aaron Myers, Rob Baldwin. Replacements: Adam Howard, Dan Stockdale, Josh Burridge, Alex Powell, Nick Taylor, Philip Woodhead.

Description of Incident:
When an astute Broward Sheriff's Office deputy stopped a suspicious vehicle Friday night in Southwest Ranches, he likely also stopped four criminals with devious plans.
BSO received a call about a residential alarm at 11:12 p.m. at 16705 Berkshire Court, but deputies found nothing amiss at the home. Less than an hour later, Deputy Paul Sada returned to the area and noticed a red Dodge Charger leaving the area. The car matched the description of one that had been linked to a previous burglary in Southwest Ranches. The adult and juvenile inside the car couldn't explain why they were in the area and eventually admitted they were acting as lookouts for two accomplices who were in the process of breaking into a house. Deputies from neighboring districts helped set up a perimeter and determined that a bedroom window at the house where the alarm had gone off had been smashed. No one was home at the time. As BSO's helicopter searched for the burglars by air, K-9 deputies tracked by ground. K-9s eventually found the two criminals hiding in a fenced yard. The two initially ignored deputies' orders to show their hands and surrender, and one was bitten on the arm by a K-9 but was not seriously injured. Both were taken into custody.
Deputies found a loaded 9 mm handgun under the driver's seat of the Charger. There were also gloves, a screwdriver, a small saw and a flashlight in the car. The two adults and two juveniles were charged with armed burglary and resisting arrest without violence. Campblin and Diaz were transported to BSO's Main Jail. The two juveniles were taken to the Juvenile Assessment Center and then to the Juvenile Detention Center.

We are entering the end of the active period of the Atlantic Hurricane season.
As shown in the graph, the middle of October stays pretty active. After the 20th, development drops off rapidly.
While October hurricanes are a rare event for the Texas coast, they're not so in the Caribbean. Some of the strongest and deadliest Atlantic hurricanes on record have been in October. Most recently, Hurricane Wilma in 2005 recorded the lowest pressure ever for an Atlantic hurricane. Hurricane Mitch, Oct. 22 through Nov. 3, 1998, was devastating in Central America with over 11,000 lives lost mainly due to flash flooding and mudslides. Mitch is the second deadliest Atlantic Hurricane we know of.
The 1780 hurricane season was marked by three of the deadliest storms ever, all in October and all in the Caribbean.
The first one that deadly October killed upwards of 3,000 people when it passed over Jamaica.
The worst of these was simply called the Great Hurricane and is the deadliest known Atlantic hurricane. This storm likely formed east of the island of Barbados and moved slowly through the islands of the eastern Caribbean. At the time, a sizeable population had been established in the region by the French and British. Both nations had large naval fleets in the area, partly due to their role in the American Revolution. These colonial developments provide us with a pretty good documentation of the impacts of hurricanes of that period as they crossed the islands. The Great Hurricane completely wiped out the island of Barbados with wind gusts estimated up to 200 mph. The loss of life on Barbados through Puerto Rico exceeded 15,000. Another 5,000 or more men were lost at sea as the ships of the fleets were destroyed.
The third deadly 1780 October hurricane was called Solano's Hurricane. Solano was in charge of a Spanish war fleet sailing in the eastern Gulf of Mexico. The hurricane struck the fleet causing many to sink and resulting in the loss of 2000 soldiers and sailors. The commander of the soldiers on board was one Bernado de Galvez.
I shudder to think of the impacts of three such storms occurring today.
