The pacers play of late is huge among my fellow sports bettors.
Final score 104-77No way on mothers earth Bucks can hang around with this Indiana roster, and no way they can do it in Indianapolis. First of all, did you guys see Bucks against the Orlando Magic? I have never seen such a poor offensive performance in the last 3 quarters by a team in the last 11 years maybe. HOW DO YOU THINK THIS HORRIBLE OFFENSE WILL MATCH UP AGAINST Pacers unstoppable Defense?! They will not be able to! Pacers D has many similarities to the Chiefs D if u have to compare them across the sports. The only difference between the two is the fact that Pacers O is 10 times better than Chiefs. I dont think i can find a much worse match up for this Bucks roster, they got blown away by the Miami Heat, and the Miami Heat are usually a team that is easier to ground and pound with, you can keep the game highscoring, you can push the pace offensively, you can use many tools to hang around the spread when you are going up against them - at least in the regular season where Miami Heat appearently do not give a garbage about dropping games left and right.
I'm just gonna go ahead and say this now: If this Pacers team do not manage to win by at least 25 points tonight, then this will be the biggest surprise to me all season.
Another thing that u simply just gotta love about this Pacers team is that they care. They care about the ball games. They wanna moove and groove and do anything they can do to win these ball games and they are fighting hard and they are grinding defensively as well as offensively; on both sides of the ball. AND THEY VALUE EACH PLAYER on their team. They do so many things to make sure everyone feels comfortable when they go out there on the field, and when things dont go well, they FIX THESE THINGS so that they do go well and then they make up for the bad plays they have made previously. They learn from mistakes, they move forward. I have always thought that this Pacers team is overrated and such, but when you sit down and watch them play basketball you cant have nothing but respect for these guys, they are sure as hell grinding their butt off to win ball games.
Please do not feed me off now by saying "Pacers have no motivation to win this huge". Ok, if players getting paid double digit millions are not motivated enough to win ball games, then maybe these wussies should find another sport. I am ranked top 500 in the world in table tennis (not that it matters at all, i am just trying to state an example here) and whenever i play a table tennis match with my brother, then i will give my right leg that i do not drop a single point against him, and i will do pretty much whatever it takes. And i get paid nothing. If these dogs comming from the street cannot set themselves up for playing a game worth millions, then they do not belong in this sport what so ever. So i am not gonna buy that argument, especially not when it comes to this Indiana roster, because you can sure as hell tell that they are hungry and that they want to keep the train rolling for as long as possible.
Their depth is outstanding too compared to Milwaukees, i wouldnt be surprised if Bucks lost the second half by 20 points as soon as subs enter the field. They have NO1 to rely on, they have NOTHING that can threaten Indiana. This is so far the biggest mismatch skillwise this season i have seen, and i have not seen a team match up this poorly against Indiana as Milwaukee do right now. And that goes for EVERY SINGLE aspect of this game. Indiana are gonna win this game straight up - and they are gonna win it huge.
I was gonna see if i could find Pacers -30.5 or -35.5 or something, but i wasnt able to. This was the highest possible line i could find, so here goes:
Indiana Pacers -21.5 @ Bet365 @ +175
Final Score: 109-72

A WINCHESTER businessman nominated as one of the top 200 independent financiers in the country has extolled the Winchester Business Excellence Awards.
Kit Finney, principal of JCF Financial Services Ltd, was voted in the top 200 independent financial advisors in an independent poll carried out by VouchedFor in October last year.
Now the chairman of this year's Winchester Business Excellence Awards is encouraging other businesses across the district to get involved by entering themselves in any one of the nine categories now open.
"After I resigned as the chairman for the Chamber of Commerce I was asked to stay on, which was a huge honour, because it's such a prestigious event and really very worthwhile," he said.
"The awards have grown from strength to strength and there are some real gems in Winchester. Whether you're a big business like the University or a much smaller business; it doesn't matter about the size."
Mr Finney, who has been working in the industry for 31 years, believes that their top 200 title was awarded because of the solid client base they've built up over the years accumulated through providing good service.
"I realised that the client is far better off having independent advice so I set up JCF in 1998 working from my back bedroom," he said. "We offer financial planning, investment advice, pension advice and retirement planning and we work with the client in accordance with what strategical risks they're willing to take as well as the finances available.
"If they put their money into a building society they will probably get a rate of about 1.5 per cent, less than that of the national rate of inflation, but we can work out how much they can put in, designing a strategy that works for them to see a better return on their investment at a much more competitive rate.
"I'm a great believer in what goes around comes around. I believe that if we deliver what our client has requested and do so to such a high standard then they will refer us to further clients and the circle begins again."

Bed Bath Looks Spiffy on the Long Side
By the time everyone is talking about what rotation is in progress, it's too late. The rotation may continue, but the process will be a bit more volatile, so at this point expect plenty of shaking of the tree leaves. I don't buy this as a lasting rotation, even on the Japanese yen. While I do think the yen will ultimately head lower, at the moment it's severely oversold, and approaching levels that have provided bounces in the past. Fellow Real Money contributor Helene Meisler has been bringing this to the forefront, so I have been chatting with her on it. I'm looking for a possible snapback trade here.
Meanwhile, Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY) is due to release earnings Wednesday after the bell. The last two reports have been tough on the stock, having sent shares down almost 20% over the last six months, but I am taking a long bias into the name Wednesday. Upside potential looks to be around $64, but above that level is a gap all the way to $68 -- which, on a good report, could very well be filled before the end of the year. The housing sector has been performing better of late, and at some point that will trickle down to this company. If you own a house, you want it to look nice. That means decorating. That means accessories. That means Bed Bath & Beyond....225 more words left in this article. To read them, just click below and try Real Money FREE for 14 days.

Sea turtle found on Oregon Coast to start journey back to wild
NEWPORT, Ore. - An endangered green sea turtle found "semicomatose" in the surf along the Oregon Coast in June will begin his journey back to the wild next week.
Libby Scott at the Oregon Coast Aquarium told KVAL News that the Navy in San Diego plans to fly to Eugene Tuesday, Aug. 21, to pick up the turtle. Aquarium staff plan to drive over that morning with the turtle.
The turtle was "semicomatose" when he arrived at the aquarium June 18, with an internal body temperature of 58. The turtle's natural temperature in more tropical waters is in the mid-70s, Clausen said.
Aquarium staff slowly warmed up the turtle with hopes to eventually return him to the wild.
"These are an endangered species," Stuart Clausen at the aquarium told KVAL News in June. "Any time we can keep especially a male who is in good shape and good size in the population, in the gene pool, it's going to help maintain that population of wild animals for future generations."

Cali is the forgotten mistress of Colombian cities: hot, sprawling, unruly, unforgiving and ultimately captivating in the chaos of its seductive embrace. It can offer a hedonistic salsa-inspired break for the visitor, but can also surprise and overwhelm. There is seemingly no order to the construction or layout of the various neighborhoods here and the first time visitor may find this a daunting prospect. But rest assured the Caleños, with their blend of African and Spanish heritage, have a different, more relaxed, outlook on life and ensure an unforgettable and all-embracing welcome to Colombia's second city.
Cali is both a geographically strategic and important economic hub, providing tourists with access to the Pacific ports of Buenaventura and Tumaco whilst being surrounded by immense cultivations of sugarcane that stretch out into the distance. Don't get the wrong idea though: work and economic drive come a distant second to the more hedonistic pleasures the city has to offer.
While Caleños are notoriously laid back, they take their salsa and partying seriously, as demonstrated by the numerous dance venues on Avenida Quinta, in the outlying barrio of Juanchito and, of course, during the notorious Feria de Cali every December.
For lazy days of sightseeing the colonial district of San Antonio is hard to beat. Gently inclining streets take the visitor to a shady area of town free from the congestion seen elsewhere. Bohemian in style, benefitting from a gentle afternoon breeze and with fantastic views over the sprawling urban area, it is a great place to enjoy some traditional food from the Valle de Cauca.
Given its proximity to the Pacific coast it will come as no surprise that seafood features heavily on the Caleño menu, but opt for something different, perhaps the piangua clam that is harvested by hand from the roots of the mangrove trees, and wash it down with local juices with exotic sounding names such as of the chontaduro or borojo fruits. Even more traditional is champus, a drink made from a base of maize and blended with cinnamon, pineapple and lulo.
If you fancy escaping the cacophony of car horns and diesel emitting buses, then take a day trip out to San Cipriano where the locals have constructed motorbike powered trams on a disused railway line to transport locals, goods and now tourists to their isolated town. Here, after an adventurous journey, you can swim in crystalline green pools. Alternatively, head to the holiday destinations of Juanchaco and Ladrilleros for beautiful beaches and whale-watching.

Ok here is my dilemma, football for next year starts April 15th. I am a avid bowhunter and haven't killed a animal yet. And my grandpa had cancer again for the third time and who knows how long he will have left. I want him to see me kill my first deer/pronghorn with a bow. So my dilemma is if I do football, hunting is cut down alot but won't know what I draw until June. I want to try and play football but its one week football, next no football. So I need your guys input. All of it is appreciated. I just can't figure out what to do!

Designed to work with the 1.5ft 4-pole A/V adapter cables (see 24-9765, 24-9770, 24-9771 and 24-9772), these straight-thru extentions cables range from 1.5ft to 50ft, and feature durable construction, fully molded connectors, and excellect protection against EMI/RFI interference.

Just so you know, this does NOT allow you to use the built-in controls on iPhone headphones/mic if used as an extension between the headphones and the iPhone. I had thought it was a good way to route the Apple headphones/mic wire from my iPhone holder to a safe and out-of-the-way location I could easily access while driving. After getting that set up, the headphones and mic work fine but the pause/mute/volume buttons built into the headphones don't do anything.
Other that that it seems like a quality cable and I'd recommend it for other more traditional uses you might have in mind.
Great selections and prices

Coco returns Wednesday; Young likely to follow Friday
OAKLAND -- Coco Crisp is on track to be lifted off the disabled list for Wednesday's series finale with the Rangers, but Chris Young is not.
Young will rejoin the A's, but "there's probably not a good chance we activate him tomorrow," manager Bob Melvin said. That makes it more likely he returns Friday, following Thursday's off-day.
"I don't know that he feels that he's 100 percent," Melvin continued, "but until we talk to him tomorrow and see firsthand how he looks, I'm not really sure."
Young, dealing with a strained left quad, played in an extended spring training game for a second consecutive day Tuesday, picking up five at-bats while experiencing some "natural soreness," Melvin said.
Crisp, meanwhile, took part in full pregame workouts with the A's on Tuesday, and outfielder Michael Taylor was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento after the club's 6-5 loss to Texas, making roster room in advance of Crisp's likely return.
"I'm optimistic," said Melvin. "I think there's a great chance. Today he said he could have played. The plan is to play him tomorrow."
Taylor was recalled from Sacramento May 4 for his second stint with the A's this year and went 1-for-17 with two walks in six games, including five starts.

Small Nodule on CT Scan
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I have a ct scan once a year because of asbestos exposure years ago. Earlier this month a small spot- 2mm - showed up. My lung doctor wants to wait six months and take another ct scan. I am 60 years old and in fair shape. I did smoke but now have quit. What would you do?
Anil Vachani, MD, Pulmonologist & Assistant Professor at the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
Finding small spots (or nodules) on Chest CT is a very common event - approximately 20-40% of individuals will be found to have lung nodules on a Chest CT. Most of these nodules found by CT are benign, and not due to cancer. The risk of lung cancer very much depends on the size of the nodule. We know that nodules that are 2mm in size have a very low risk of lung cancer, but in individuals who are current or previous smokers, the nodule should be monitored to make sure the nodule is not growing. The formal recommendation for a nodule less than 5mm in size in a former or current smoker is to have a follow-up CT in 1 year. However, the timing of the next scan should be individualized for each patient based on an assessment by your physician.

November Celebrations
We have great things to celebrate in November:
November 4th is Wendy's birthday. I love this picture of her with her dad and two of her brothers.
November 16th Allan starts his new job. He is going to be working for the company that has the guys that run around in the brown shirts and brown shorts. The kids are very disappointed that their dad doesn't have to wear that uniform. You have to know there could have been blackmailing involved ; )
November 20th New Moon. I just don't think I can wait until the following week to go and see it with Heidi.
November 21st is the birthday of Joshua, one of my handsome grandsons--in this picture with his nephew, Xander.
November 26th Thanksgiving--sandwiched right in-between the birthdays of 3 of my sisters. (Actually Thanksgiving day would have been my mom's 92nd birthday--WOW.
I will be in sunny California visiting family. It's going to be GREAT. I'm very excited that Thanksgiving morning I will be able to run in a 5K race with Stephen and maybe one of my grandkids--that would make it a 3 generation event.
Of course, November means Christmas is just around the corner and I have barely started shopping. Daph and I will definitely be hitting the stores the day after Thanksgiving.
So, now I ask what will YOU be celebrating this November????
Sidenote: I did go last week to see "This Is It"--I LOVED IT.

My Mother was born November 13th... on a Friday. However six years ago she passed away two days after her birthday. I miss her so much.

We usually go to AZ every year for Thanksgiving but this will be the second time we haven't gone in 26 years. Therefore we also miss our OWN 5 mile run.
Good luck on your 5k!!! And enjoy the Cali sun.

A 48-year-old man has appeared before a special sitting of Ballina District Court in Co Mayo, charged with the murder of Sandra Collins.
He has been named as Martin Earley, with an address at Bannagher, Carrowmore-Lacken near Killala.
Mr Earley has been remanded in custody to appear before Harristown District Court on Friday, 4 January.
The family of Sandra Collins were in court today.
Ms Collins, 29, went missing on 4 December 2000.
She had left her aunt's house where she was living to go to a nearby takeaway.
An investigation was launched and there have been a number of appeals.
Gardaí renewed an appeal for information on the tenth anniversary of her disappearance and significant progress was made.
Martin Earley was arrested yesterday evening while was on a return home from Britain, where he was working.

A deadly serious game of hide-and-seek is on. The CIA's brilliant young analyst, Jack Ryan, thinks he knows the reason for the sudden Red Fleet operation: the Soviets' most valuable ship, the Red October, is attempting to defect to the United States.
The new ballistic-missile submarine's defection is high treason on an unprecedented scale, and nearly the entire Soviet Atlantic Fleet has been ordered to find and destroy her at all costs. If the U.S. fleet can locate her first and get her safely to port, it will be the intelligence coup of all time.
The nerve-wracking hunt goes on for 18 days as the Red October tries to elude her hunters across 4,000 miles of ocean. The rousing climax is one of the most thrilling underwater scenes ever written.
Please note: The original source for this digital production was audiocassette tape, which is the best available source audio from the publisher. The audio quality reproduces the analog format.

"Audio quality quite poor"
This book had poor audio quality with the words clipping off. If it weren't for that, I think this is a 4 star book. It was good and kept me listening, but they sped up the voice or tried to eliminate space between his words and they clipped quite often. If that kind of stuff doesn't bother you, get it...otherwise go to Amazon and order the actual book and read it, you'll like it better.

The recording seems like it was digitized from a cassette tape played of a machine that did not keep correct time. Much sounds clipped or slowed. It is a great book, and the reading is alright, but the sound quality is so bad that I want my money back. I have never had this sort of problem with Audible before.
"Very rough recording"
I love this story but this recording is quite a disappointment. I don't care for J. Charles narration, but I can live with that. It's the annoying skipping that makes the book almost impossible to listen to. At first I thought I had inadvertently changed my iPod playback to 'fast' but this was not the case. It's just a bad recording. I have downloaded a couple of dozen books from Audible and this is the first I have been so unhappy with, but if it had been my first attempt, I would not have made another.
"Audio screwed up!"
I don't really have a problem with the reader, but the audio of this format sounds like they ran it through some algorithm that deleted all pauses in the reader's speech, so there is basically no pauses for words, sentences, phrases or dramatic effect. The audio moves way too fast and a lot of the beginning and ending of words is cut short. It actually hurts to listen to the recording. I also believe I should get my money back. Audible needs to fix this and make sure no other audiobooks have the problem.
"Horrible audio"
Audio sounds like a computerized voice. Some instances the dialog sounds like the characters are in a fish tank. Loved the book, but stay away from this one.
"Why did they release this production?"
I love this book when narrated by Frank Muller, this book is awful, in fact, I cant find a word to encompass what a horrible job J. Charles did reading this. ITS ATROCIOUS!!!!! His accents are awful, almost every accent he does other than russian, which is awful too, comes across as deep south red-neck, including the british, and he often uses them interchangably, starts out southern and ends up british or vice-versa. I have never missed Frank Muller more. This rendition is so awful I will never listen to another book read by this person again. Accents aside, the pronunciations are also just plain terrible, in fact, saying they are terrible is like saying the ocean is a bit on the damp side, I could understand misspronouncing some of the russian, but most of the names, english, american and russian are botched, as well as common words in english. DID NO ONE LISTEN TO THIS BEFORE IT WAS PUBLISHED !?!?!?!? I cant believe anyone in literature, or Tom Clancy for that matter approved this reading. AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL, I cant stress this enough, it is the worst thing I have ever heard, a little part of me died listening to what this guy did to this great book. Audible, I am ashamed of you for putting this out there, where is the Frank Muller version??????
"Too fast, and..."
... this reader should NOT "do" voices! The accents are awful! And even at "Slower" on my iPod, he's still in too much of a hurry. The book is a favorite, but I wish I hadn't spent the money on this reading. I agree with the reviewer who's going to avoid other books performed by this reader.
"horrible audio"
The reader goes so fast I can barely understand him. It sounds like he is an auctioneer. Im going to try and get my money back. Very disappointed.
"Good Book - Bad Reader"
I am a great Clancy fan and Hunt is Clancy in the prime. Unfortunately, the reader mispronounces the occasional word and his accents are terrible. All those characters and only three of four accents and some of those incorrect for the character described by the author. The pacing is just a little off. The emphasise was wrong some times. The flaws were just enough to be grating and drop a 5 star listen down to 3.5. I will look for Mr. Charles as narrator and pass the book by, no matter how good a bargain.
"The two most important days of your life are the day you were born and the day you find out why" Mark Twain
"A serious book, but the narrator made me laugh..."
As everyone has said, this is the fantastic story of a rogue Russian submarine commander attempting to defect his nation's newest and most advanced submarine, the Red October, to the Americans. Top notch book and a great movie, to boot!
But the narrator J. Charles botches his reading about a thousand times during the course of the book. As someone mentioned, he makes every Russian character sound like Count Dracula and every American commander sound like a backwoods hillbilly. It was beyond ridiculous. And I'm not usually very nitpicky about pronunciation, but Charles mispronounces such common words that the narration almost became comical. Simple words like "known" are pronounced "know-when", or FLIR (forward looking infrared - usually pronounced "fleer") was pronounced "fluur" throughout the entire book. The list could go on.
Suffice it to say this is a great book with sub-par narration.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The mother of Florida Gov. Rick Scott has died.
The governor said that his mother died Tuesday afternoon in her hometown of Kansas City, Missouri. She was 84.
Esther Scott got introduced to Floridians as part of Scott's maverick bid in 2010 for governor.
She appeared in campaign commercials touting her son as a "good boy" at a time when Scott was under attack by his political rivals. She was also a constant on the trail and showed up at rallies and campaign events.
Gov. Scott said she had a great life and lived the American dream. He noted that she was able to travel extensively after Scott became a successful businessman.
Esther Scott became ill last month and had been confined to a hospital due to an infection.

FORMER England batsman Mike Gatting will roll up his sleeves and get stuck in to some DIY when he visits Pedmore Cricket Club next month.
The club is taking part in NatWest CricketForce, an annual initiative that runs from April 5-6 and encourages communities to chip in and prepare the country's cricket grounds for the season ahead.
This year, Pedmore has been chosen as one of the showcase clubs that will benefit from a helping hand from the well-known cricket personality, who will stop by on Sunday April 6.
Club chairman, Roger Price, said: "There's a whole host of jobs that he can get involved in. We are putting up new fencing, which will need painting and we will need to clean around the outskirts of the grounds, cut the hedges and erect safety nets."
Mr Price added: "Mike's visit has generated a huge amount of interest and we have had lots of offers from people willing to help out over the weekend.The club sees this as a once in a lifetime opportunity .
"It's a chance to make people aware of the club, raise the profile, increase membership and helpers and consequently ensure the future of the club for many years to come."

NEWPORT County AFC have announced that they will take on a West Ham United XI in a pre-season friendly on August 2, replacing the fixture at Salisbury City.
A statement from the club reads: "Further to the uncertainty over Salisbury City FC's future and level of football they may be playing next season we have cancelled the pre-season friendly with them which was arranged for Saturday 2nd August 2014.
"Newport County can confirm we will face West Ham United U21s/Development Squad in a pre-season friendly on Saturday 2nd August 2014.
"The fixture will be played at Little Heath Sports Ground, home to West Ham United Under 18s and kick off will be 3pm."
Meanwhile the Football League Attendance report for the 2013/14 season has been released, revealing the Exiles' attendance statistics.
The report shows that just under 80,000 fans visited Rodney Parade last season.
The average attendance at Rodney Parade was 3,453 and just under 10,000 away fans came to Newport throughout the campaign.
County had the 16th highest average attendance in League Two last season and finished 62nd out of the 72 Football League clubs in the average attendance league table.
Justin Edinburgh's men, in their first season in League Two, enjoyed bigger crowds than the likes of Coventry City, Cheltenham Town and promoted clubs Fleetwood Town and Rochdale.
The biggest crowd in League Two was 18,181 at Fratton Park, home of former Premier League club Portsmouth, followed by Plymouth Argyle on 13,442.
County's biggest gate was 5,387 against local rivals Bristol Rovers on August 17 last year.
On the road a total of 9,475 County fans followed the team away from home last season and the average for each away match was 412 County fans.
That average ranks the Exiles fans 14th in League Two and 57th in the Football League.
In terms of away fans as a percentage of average home fans County ranked fifth in League Two and 11th in the whole of the Football League.
The Amber Army made up an average of 13.6 per cent of the crowds at grounds around the country.

The Paradise Irrigation District Board of Directors will meet tonight and talk about their financial officer's contract.
Kevin Phillips has been the district's moneyman since 2007. In November 2013, Phillips requested a few changes to his contract, including extending his severance from three months to 12 months; an annual cost of living adjustment based on Social Security increases; paid travel and training expenses that coincide with his continued CPA education; and a change in title from Finance and Accounting Manager to Chief Financial Officer.
PID directors Bill Kellogg and Doug Flesher balked at the idea of extending the severance to 12 months. The two directors felt a six-month severance package was more appropriate. The argument was that, after seven years with the district, Phillips has become specialized in government finance. If terminated, Phillips would need to retrain to be able to do taxes for a CPA firm or in the private sector.
Phillips also wanted to detach himself from the management COLA because of a perceived conflict of interest. During negotiations, Phillips negotiates on behalf of the board, but because he is connected to the management contract he reaps any benefits negotiated for management.
The board will also hear possible changes to the district's business travel policy. Director Kellogg brought the issue to the board last month, after hearing some of his constituents complain that district manager George Barber was using district money to pay for his wife during PID related conferences.
Kellogg made it clear that Barber was not misusing district funds, but wanted the board to address the policy in the spirit of transparency. The board will also consider policies regarding roads owned by the district. Larry and Lucretia Klungtvet brought the matter to the board last year. The Klungtvets live on Shady Lane, which is owned by the district. The road is in disrepair and the fire department sent the Klungtvets a letter stating fire trucks cannot use the road, putting the area at risk.
The Klungtvets hoped the district would repair the road. There has been much wrangling about who is ultimately responsible for the road's maintenance, with legal codes seemingly putting the responsibility in the hands of the homeowners that live on the street. The district owns several miles of roads in Paradise, but doesn't maintain them. The district's delinquent account policy and an extension to the dam surveillance agreement are also on the agenda.
The meeting is at 6:30 p.m. in the board chambers located at 6332 Clark Road.

Keeping the residents of Murrieta safe is a high and oft-stated priority for city officials. But an important part of that effort, emergency medical services, falls under the control of Riverside County.
At times the friction between the city and the county, whose EMS contract for ambulance services is with American Medical Response, also known as AMR, has been impossible to ignore.
Ambulance response times on the western edge of the city -- including Bear Creek, Copper Canyon and Cole Canyon -- have frequently fallen below the contractually obligated standard of less than 10 minutes, 90 percent of the time, and the city has felt its hands were tied when it came to correcting the problem.
Now the county has decided to undertake a comprehensive review of the EMS system and brought in a consulting firm to evaluate it. Councilman Alan Long is cautiously optimistic that the city's concerns finally will be addressed.
Soon meetings between local officials from across the region, county representatives and the consulting firm, the Abaris Group, will start. Murrieta Fire Chief Matt Shobert said he will be representing the city at an initial steering committee meeting on Thursday.
"It's a small step, but it's a step in the right direction," Long said. "And it's a step that the county was never willing to take."
In 2008, the Riverside County Fire Chiefs Association commissioned a white paper addressing shortfalls in the county EMS system. Shobert, who was the Hemet fire chief at the time, said many of the concerns addressed in that white paper still exist today.
"The response times, the cross-training between the responding paramedics and the firefighters, the lack of proper radio communications between ambulances and the fire department," Shobert said, listing the issues, "and that (EMS) contract was extended three years ago based on that criteria being fixed. We sit here five years later, and again they're talking about wanting to get in there and fix this stuff."
The Murrieta Fire Department has had paramedics on its engines for the last 12 years. But if AMR arrives on the scene after the fire department, the fire department has to relinquish control of patient care to the AMR paramedics.
Growth in Southwest County over the last 10 to 15 years, Long said, has been a significant factor in the challenges the EMS system now faces.
Long is a fire department battalion chief in Anaheim and a trained paramedic. He said Anaheim is a mature city that experienced its growth years ago. There, historical data is a valuable tool is assessing the current needs of the community, he said.
This region is quite different.
"Where the majority of calls came in 10 years ago is not where the majority of calls come in today," he said during the Murrieta City Council meeting Tuesday night.
That white paper commissioned by the Riverside County Fire Chiefs Association, dated Aug. 22, 2008, began: "For a decade, Riverside County has operated ambulance services under a model that they have now outgrown."
Long said applying historical data to organize EMS response in a growing region such as Southwest County is problematic.
According to a chart that Long used during his presentation to the rest of the council on Tuesday, there has been a 14 percent increase in 9-1-1 call volume during the last three years in the area composed of Murrieta, Temecula, Wildomar, Lake Elsinore and Canyon Lake.
In a phone interview earlier in the week, Long said of the transformation in the region, "We have shopping centers and thousands of homes where goats used to be."
The Riverside County Board of Supervisors has called for an EMS plan based on the consultant's report to be completed by March 2014. The county's ambulance contract with American Medical Response expires in June 2015.

There's not much to say about NBC Sports analyst Mike Milbury that hasn't already been said. He's deserved the flak he caught for, among other things, referring to the Sedins as "Thelma and Louise," and beyond that, he does his thing—advocating old-time hockey in tough-guy, gender-normative, often-obnoxious terms. Generally, we try not to pay attention to him. This does not always work.
Mike Milbury: Old Man Yells at Cloud.— Sean Gentille (@seangentille) October 7, 2011
A few times a season, inevitably, he makes waves with his comments, and on Wednesday, he did it again by comparing Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin's to "crack addicts" for the way they play in the offensive zone.
"They're like crack addicts. They can't get enough of this offensive stuff. They want to go coast to coast and score goals, but it leads to some trouble," Milbury said after the second period of Pittsburgh's 6-5 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday night. It wasn't the first time he went in the Penguins, and specifically Crosby, who he called "a punk" last year.
In any case, he said what said, and the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review asked Crosby about it.
"I wasn't aware of it," Crosby said, with more than a hint of sarcasm in his voice. "He watches so much hockey, he must know. I'll try to do a better job of playing defensively."
One of Crosby's teammates also chimed in.
"It's a little irritating," Penguins defenseman Matt Niskanen said. "I try not to get too flustered by it. He always has a bonehead remark to make."
So, there you go. Matt Niskanen knows what's up. And for the record, the Penguins' next NBC game is Sunday against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Maybe, in the interest of fair time, Milbury will compare Steven Stamkos to an alcoholic.

Texas Hunting Accidents Continue Decline In 2007
AUSTIN, Texas — Hunting accidents and fatalities in Texas continued their long-term decline in 2007, still down below three accidents per 10,000 hunters in recent years. That compares to about 12 accidents per 10,000 hunters in 1966, the year records began.
Short-term, Texas had 26 injuries from hunting accidents in 2007, two less than the year before. The state had four fatalities in 2007, the same as the previous year.
Although any fatality is tragic, Texas accident numbers are small compared to the number of hunters. According to a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service national survey, 1,112,099 people hunted in Texas in 2007.
"The statistics show hunting is safe and getting safer in Texas," said Steve Hall, education director for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. "And we do believe that is directly related to hunter education."
The state's worst year on record for hunting accidents was 1968, when 105 accidents were reported, including 37 fatalities.
The steady decline in the number of accidents per 10,000 licensed hunters tracks the growing number of people who take hunter education in Texas. In 1972, 2,119 people were certified in hunter education. In 2007, more than 3,000 volunteer hunter education instructors trained more than 30,000 hunters across the state. In 1988, hunter education became mandatory in Texas for anyone born on or after Sept. 2, 1971.
Hall said even hunters who are not required to take the education course are more aware of basic safety principles than before.
"It's things like the '10 Commandments of Shooting Safety,' the very basic safety principles that are promoted a whole lot more now than 30 or even 20 years ago," Hall said. "Highlighting the accidents is an education in and of itself."
The 2007 hunter accident profile involved people who violated a cardinal rule of hunter safety, were usually Anglo males 29 years of age on average, were not under the influence of alcohol, had not taken hunter education, and did not wear hunter orange clothing. People involved in accidents exhibited behavior like swinging a shotgun on game outside of the safe zone of fire (if not self-inflicted), handling a firearm carelessly in a stand or vehicle (if self-inflicted), or carrying a loaded firearm in and around a vehicle. Victims were typically in light to open cover with clear weather visibility. Most accidents occurred towards dusk. Fatigue was a factor in most accidents.
According to Hall, all accidents were preventable if the hunters had followed basic safety principles like those taught in hunter education courses.
"You know you're not going to stop accidents altogether," he said. "But you're going to help people build knowledge and skills to avoid accidents."
The full report for 2007 is available on the TPWD web site.

Argentine soybean farmers are registering their lack of faith in the country's peso currency by hoarding beans even as the local futures market shows a clear drop in the price of the oilseed for delivery in the months ahead.
Argentina is the world's top exporter of soymeal and soyoil as well as its third biggest soybean and corn supplier at a time of booming international food demand. But for local farmers, a bean in the bag is better than a peso in the bank, as confidence declines in Latin America's No. 3 economy.
President Cristina Fernandez's policies, from harsh currency controls to heavy stimulus spending unencumbered by inflation targeting, has made Argentina a no-go zone for all but the most risk-hungry investors.
The spot price of soy in grains hub Rosario is $325 per tonne, way above the $288 for beans to be delivered in May.
Growers are nonetheless hoarding their stocks because, as low as prices may go this year due to heavy global supply, to sell would expose them to a currency ground down by high inflation, falling central bank reserves, and a lack of investor confidence.
"Normally, you would want to sell now at $325," said Leandro Pierbattisti, an analyst with Argentina's grains warehousing chamber. "But the market in Argentina is not normal because of the devaluation of the peso."
Argentina's black market peso has weakened 37 percent over the last year to 11.85 per U.S. dollar at the end of trade on Tuesday, 72 percent weaker than the official exchange rate.
The Fernandez administration has cracked down on access to U.S. dollars, forcing farmers to save in anemic pesos. This has all but dried up the local soybean market in recent weeks.
Pierbattisti estimates that Argentine farmers are holding onto about 8.4 million tonnes of soybeans, up from an estimated 1.6 million at this point last year.
Local factories that crush soybeans into meal and oil, used as livestock feed and in making biofuels, are working at 60 percent capacity, down from 65 percent a year ago, due to lower supply of raw beans as farmers hoard crops, Pierbattisti said.
"Farmers are not selling a single kilo of anything," said a Buenos Aires-based grains trader who asked not to be named. "There is no real commerce."
Growers are paid for their grains in pesos, which they are not allowed to swap for dollars under Argentina's foreign exchange rules. Lack of access to a stable currency has encouraged growers to pile beans into oblong white plastic bags that have come to dot the Pampas grains belt, each horizontal silo representing a makeshift unit of savings.
Export companies that sell Argentine soybeans overseas are paid in U.S. dollars. But they are required by Argentina to repatriate the greenbacks to be swapped for pesos at the official exchange rate.
Trucks For Raw Beans
This season's U.S. soybean harvest may be one of the largest ever at 89.5 million tonnes. So the world is likely to be awash in soy by the time South American growers start bringing in their crops next month.
Big harvests are expected in Brazil (89.0 million tonnes), Argentina (54.5 million) and Paraguay (9.4 million), according to estimates by the U.S. Departtment of Agriculture and private analysts. Demand is driven by China, where soymeal is needed to fatten up cattle served as beef steak to increasingly discerning middle class diners.
Argentina's interventionist policies, including a 35 percent export tax on soybeans and the 2012 nationalization of the country's main energy company, YPF, have joined with high inflation to scare off investment needed to take advantage of growing world food demand.
Private economists, rejecting official government data as lacking credibility, say consumer prices rose by more than 25 percent last year, one of the world's highest rates. The government said full-year 2013 inflation was 10.9 percent.
Consumer prices will rise about 30 percent in 2014, according to a Reuters poll of analysts last week. That would be the highest rate since 2002 when millions of middle class Argentines were pushed into poverty by a crisis punctuated by a sovereign bond default and 41 percent inflation.
"We feel safer holding onto our crops than we would holding the peso," said Santiago del Solar, who manages thousands of hectares in western Buenos Aires province. "That's not going to change as long as confidence remains so low, or until there is a change in policy that would allow us to save in dollars."
With two years to go before the end of her second term, Fernandez has shown no sign of making major policy changes.
Buenos Aires farmer Alvaro Tomas says he and his neighbors are meanwhile using raw beans to buy everything from pickup trucks to seeds. A good four-wheel-drive vehicle, for example, would cost you about 130 tonnes of beans.
"Any grower who has the alternative to save in soybeans is doing so because it the only way to protect yourself from inflation," Tomas said. "I don't know anyone who can save in any other way."

Topic: Extreme Gas - chemo
My mom(75 yrs old) was diagnosed back in July after they removed her Gallbladder. She took 12 weeks of Gemzar and did great on the treatments however the treatment turned out not shrink the area at all. The doctors said they thought she she just forget treatment and take a day at a time. I talked her into getting a second opinion and the second doctor said he didn't they treated her long enough and ordered 12 more weeks this time with Gemzar/ Cisplatin.
since she has started Chemo she has extreme painful gas and belches constantly, the doctors keep saying take OTC meds but they are not helping, has anyone else had this problem? What should we do? She is already taking about forgoing anymore treatment. This is breaking my heart,

When Moe Became MissingSituation puzzles (sometimes called lateral thinking puzzles) are ones where you need to ask lots of yes or no questions to figure out what happened in the situation. These are good puzzles for groups where one person knows the puzzle and answers the questions.
Moe was loved by all relatives. Whenever Moe was in trouble, people would always help. However, one day, Moe became missing. Everyone who knew Moe was very happy. Moe was happy too. Nobody looked for Moe, and everything was fine. The change was taken as a positive change. Why was everyone happy that Moe became missing?
HintNote the absence of the word "he" or "his".
AnswerMoe was a girl and it was her last name. She married a man with the last name of Missing. Therefore, she changed her name and Moe became Missing.

Today marks my third visit to Russia, the last being in 2006 when I had the privilege of meeting President Putin to talk about the freedoms with which NGOs can operate in this country. In a curious turn of events, and some six years later, both Putin and freedoms are still very much in the news.
You can take your pick from any number of scandals currently making headlines in Russia: planned legislation aimed at hampering NGO activity and the right to protest, draconian laws aimed at internet censorship – even the fallout from the recent performance by punk group Pussy Riot, which has garnered international attention.
What is different, between my last visit and now, however, is the scale and unbridled nature of the public's response. Russians have taken to the streets en masse to protest the shrinking democratic space in their country – up to 100,000 at various times in Moscow alone to speak out against Putin's rule. It's clear that Russians are no longer prepared to tolerate civil injustices and are increasingly prepared to speak up fearlessly in their own defense.
Amid this atmosphere, I am here to address the shrinking democratic space surrounding organisations like ours, but also to bring to people's attention an outrage of a different sort; one that goes beyond Russian borders to a plight much more epic – that of our shared Arctic.
I've said elsewhere that the quest to save the Arctic is one of the defining battles of our time, neatly bringing together the tensions between economy and ecology that exist in our modern world.
Russia today is a country in the midst of much welcomed growth and expansion – yet progress is happening at such a rapid rate that it has become reckless; short term interests are being vigorously pursued, yet the more pertinent question of longer term impacts is rarely addressed.
At Greenpeace we're campaigning for a halt to the senseless destruction of the Arctic in the quest for oil. We seek preservation of this pristine wilderness, and a focus instead on the many abundant sources of renewable energy that exist, and are viable alternatives, today.
When I confronted Arctic destruction by occupying the Leiv Eiriksson oil rig last year, I took with me 50,000 signatures in opposition. This year, we count well over 1.3 million voices from around the world (a great many of them Russian too); they are people who are prepared to be counted as they say No to the willful destruction of our planet.
I am here to say No to environmental destruction as much as I say No to limits on freedom of expression and assembly. History teaches us that in all major struggles, whether it's women's rights, apartheid, or the US civil rights movement, that it's only when people rise in peaceful acts of civil disobedience that the course of history changes.
Born in 1965 and hailing from South Africa, Kumi Naidoo was Greenpeace's International Executive Director from November 2009 until December 2015.

I think we will have to talk about freedom (of the Internet)...it will be on topic since Kumi just went to Russia to talk about freedom to his old friend Putin.
Question 7.) what does DUPLICATE mean...
I have get the impression all posts regarding Dr. Naidoo's past are being removed, now you call them duplicate...sorry, my english: what does it mean?
What am I doing? I am going to SAVE TUUTS...quite a simple task, correct? It is getting time since all attempts to stop global warming have failed in the last years - I do believe this is to an extend fault of Dr. Naidoo's strategy of appeasment where he gets to talk to all the important persons in the world, where he gets the chance to introduce himself to international diplomacy and make a name of himself...and which is leading Greenpeace into agony.
I am with Greenpeace since the age of 6. This is pretty much 35 years now.
I am watching Greenpeace in astonishment for the last 3 years...after you answered me question number 2 (why did Dr. Naidoo go to Russia for?) I will tell you what it looks to me why he went...as I have pointed out in previous blogs, caution: duplicate, I did get the impression he loves international flashpoints...Dr. Naidoo is living for a cause...
Unfortunately his cause has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do what Greenpeace used to be until 3 years ago!
'...Greenpeace is an environmental NGO which focuses its campaigning on world wide issues such as global warming, deforestation, overfishing, commercial whaling and anti-nuclear issues...'
He still does not seem to have noticed...
Worse, his causes, e.g. his actual trip to Russia, are making the work of Greenpeace (Russia) extremely difficult! Can you follow?
Thank you...
PS: Question 8.) who is Gerd Leipold? A little hint: during cold war he took a hot-air balloon to go from West to East Berlin to protest against nuclear testing...to me this is quite something to enter the restricted airspace of a totalitarian country during cold war.
I think you can call this a fact.
The claims of someone else are fertile grounds for doubts...although not knowing what you mean by calling any of my posts regarding Dr. Naidoo's past 'duplicate' ... I would love to quote Gandhi now:
' first they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win'

Question number 2: why did Dr. Naidoo go to Russia for?
Today, thirsday 16th at 15:45 I would like to make the following statement without knowing what Dr. Naidoo's next blog will be about:
I strongly belief Dr. Naidoo is trying to get his name Media-attention in relation to the process against Pussy Riot...
Dr. Naidoo, anti-apartheid activist from South Africa, talks to his friend Putin about the freedom to express yourself...meanwhile the Greenpeace-Website is being cleared by all comments regarding Dr. Naidoos's 'so said' biography, regarding ANC and political involvements of ANC...Robert Mugabe and the Zanu-party.
Greenpeace's moral authority used to be a direct result of its incredible credibility...serving as a stage for international career-building will destroy this immediately...

As Kumi says in this blog post, he is in Russia helping with our campaign to protect the Arctic. You can join in here...
This work (and visit) was planned some time ago. The timing is not related to Pussy Riot's trial. Kumi just felt he had to say something.
As I've said before, feel free to take a look at http://www.greenpeace.org/usa to see what Greenpeace is up to in the USA.
FYI - Your latest comment was cut off. I've removed a couple of your duplicate comments, but maybe you have a technical problem as well.
I still don't get why you are so hard on Kumi. Do we share the same cause? How do you feel about the threats to the Arctic and the need to protect it?

I tried to post 'the white savior Industrial complex...'
Also I said that Kumi must have forgotten to mention a few things when talking to his brothers and sisters of ANC, last time in April 2012...this is the type of posts you delete...if it was duplicate, pls show me where they are now!
Please do me one favor and do not try to make me look stupid.. technical problems...and Pussy Riot had nothing to do with Kumi's visit to Russia.
Of course not, as you just gave a danish nobody the chance to blog about a 'so-called' Arctic Indigenous Conference all of us here got the point - you guys enjoy dutch coffeeshop culture and seem to have fun.
Didn't I say why I am so hard to Kumi? Since you delete blogs of mine you must be reading me...I think I said it at least a thousand times...sorry, if I say it again you call it a duplicate....agony, wasnt there something... opening offices...and?
WHATEVER Greenpeace is doing now - please think twice. If Kumi decides to go back to Africa to join anti-poverty movement it would be fine with me, ...all his blogs including all the comments disappearing with him which would be fine with me aswell...

The condition of the wreckage recovered from that Air France A330-200 that plunged into the Atlantic Ocean on June 1 indicates that the airplane broke apart upon hitting the water, not while in flight as previously hypothesized, according to an interim report issued by the French civil aviation accident investigation bureau (BEA) today.
"The elements identified came from all areas of the airplane," said the report. "Visual examination showed that the airplane was not destroyed in flight; it appears to have struck the surface of the sea in a straight line with high vertical acceleration."
Other facts revealed today include the following: the last radio exchange between the crew and Brazilian ATC occurred at 1:35 a.m.; at 2:01 a.m., the crew tried, without success for the third time, to connect to the Dakar ATC ADS-C system; up to the last automatic position point, received at 2:10:35 a.m., the flight had followed the route indicated in the flight plan; AF447 encountered powerful cumulonimbus clusters, some of which could have been the center of "notable" turbulence; several airplanes that flew before or after AF447 at about the same altitude altered their routes to avoid cloud masses; the Air France A330-200's ACARS sent 24 automatic messages between 2:10 and 2:15 a.m.; and the messages show inconsistency between the measured speeds "as well as the associated consequences."
Search and rescue operations, involving Brazilian, French, U.S. and Spanish navies, ended their patrols on June 26, after not having found any bodies or airplane parts for nine days. Meanwhile, the first phase of the search for the flight's data recorders will continue until July 10, by which time it is expected that they will have stopped emitting acoustic signals. After that time, said the BEA, the French research vessel Pourquoi Pas? will begin a second phase of the search using diving equipment and towed sonar.
Search crews have recovered the bodies of 51 of the 228 people on board Flight 447. Plans call for authorities to send all the airplane wreckage so far recovered from Recife, Brazil to France for more thorough investigation.

Editor's note: This market commentary is provided by the Dairy Division at FCStone/Downes-O'Neill in Chicago, Ill.
To the confusion of many, spot cheese prices continue to hold at current levels and even push higher. The futures have built in a steep discount and an inverted curve already pricing in and guessing when a decline will occur. When another session holds, as it did yesterday, the market is compelled to bring futures prices up and admit error in judgment at least for the short-term. Cheese is that prevalent in the market, but from we hear it isn't all that tight either and over two bucks should zap demand pretty hard and fast.
Prices languished yesterday morning and then spiked upward after cheese. Some dairyman are taking advantage and locking in margins amidst a corn price collapse. Peter Ulrich spoke bearishly regarding milk prices at the Annual Outlook Conference, and was bearish in tone for commodities in general short/medium term and the equities as well. Expectations from a majority of speakers was that we'd see interest rates compelled to move higher, which would at least pause the decline in U.S. dollar valuations and make the commodity bull take a breather.
Cash cheese futures traded 12 times with prices moving upward in tandem with Class III prices, but in a more subdued fashion.
Sixty-two contracts traded in Class III overnight with the July contract garnering more than half of the volume in a mostly steady to firm trade. We look for Class III to open firm, for spot to be steady to slightly higher, and for futures to close with gains.
Corn prices continued to move lower yesterday, driven by the soaring dollar, improving weather and continued talk that ethanol subsidies would be slashed. For the time being, the ethanol subsidies shall remain in place, but it seems that the political will to end the subsidies and tariffs on imports is gaining traction. This gave the funds all the incentive they needed to continue liquidating their positions, sending corn settlements in July down 24.25 cents to 701.50, while the new crop December contract lost 13 cents to settle at 650. Beans also got lost grounds with the July contract settling down 17.50 cents to 1350.50 while November dropped 16.50 cent to 1350.25.
We look for corn to open 11to 12 cents higher; soybeans to open 5 to 7 higher.
