Turns out Bishop's senior Tom Anderson was just warming up when he set one San Diego Section record in the Division II swim prelims.
In his return for the finals, Anderson broke his own mark in the 100-yard backstroke and set another record in the 200 individual medley Saturday at Granite Hills High.
Anderson established the tone for a blazing meet also highlighted by a record performance by West Hills senior Caleb Davies in the boys 50 free and debut wins in the girls 200 and 500 free by Wolf Pack freshman Sarah Nowaski.
The section's longest-standing boys record fell in Wednesday's prelims when Anderson (49.85) broke the 100 back mark first set in 1993. Then he improved by a second in the finals (48.94).
"I surprised myself (in the prelims), so I re-evaluated my goals," said Anderson, who is heading to Notre Dame. "I said, 'Now, let's go for it.' I have all this support from my family and friends. It's a great environment to swim in."
Anderson (1:49.13) also broke the record tied for next in longevity when he surpassed the 200 IM mark set in 1998 by San Marcos' Tim Siciliano (1:49.47). After placing second last year (1:52.60), Anderson improved by three seconds this season.
"I went out a little too fast, but I was just excited," Anderson said. "That's an important race for me, too."
Davies (20.39) broke the 50 free mark established last year (20.42) by El Centro Southwest's Brandon Crabtree, unable to compete this season because of a leg injury. In doing so, Davies compensated for disappointment at the junior nationals last winter.
"I got sick then and had to stay in my hotel room," said Davies, who moved up from second place last year (20.94). "So I really wanted to do well in this (section) meet."
Davies also placed second in the 100 free (45.57) in a side-by-side duel taken by Steele Canyon senior Marco Russo (45.17), who came close to the mark set by Rancho Bernardo's Trent Williams last year (44.48).
"I've wanted to be a (section) champion ever since I was a freshman," said Russo, who also took the 200 free (1:38.65). "It's great to get one."
In the girls 200 free, Nowaski (1:49.92) prevailed ahead of defending two-time champion Ros Kackman of Cathedral Catholic (1:50.95). Then Nowaski added a three-second victory in the 500 free (4:53.94).
"I was excited (coming into the day)," said Nowaski, who favors the 200 butterfly not offered in high school. "It was really nerve racking. But it was very good."
Kackman won the 100 fly (56.20) to help the Dons take their sixth straight team title and break the record first set by Torrey Pines (1998-2002). Cathedral Catholic (232 points) placed ahead of Mt. Carmel (162) and Canyon Crest (158).
The boys team title went to Mt. Carmel (193) for the third time in four years. Next were Steele Canyon (117) and Bishop's (112).

Escobar sits out with sore left wrist
By Gregor Chisholm / MLB.com
Escobar was injured during the fourth inning when New York's Francisco Cervelli slid into his glove during a stolen-base attempt.
The 28-year-old Escobar is currently listed as day to day. The injury had drawn comparisons to the one suffered by outfielder Colby Rasmus, which required a stint on the 15-day disabled list, but that's not expected to be the case with Escobar.
"[Escobar] said it doesn't feel too bad today, but we'll re-evaluate it tomorrow," Blue Jays acting manager Don Wakamatsu told reporters on Sunday.
"Initially, we don't think it's near what Rasmus' was. I think Rasmus knew the two incidents that happened were a little bit more severe."
Toronto recalled veteran Chris Woodward from Triple-A Las Vegas to provide more depth around the infield during Escobar's absence. The club was not required to make a corresponding move because rosters were expanded on Sept. 1.
Woodward hit .296 with 13 home runs and 65 RBIs in 108 games for the 51s. He also spent four games with Toronto earlier this season but didn't record a hit in four at-bats.
Left fielder Eric Thames also was left out of the Blue Jays starting lineup because of flu-like symptoms. He eventually did get into Sunday's 9-3 loss to the Yankees in the ninth inning as a pinch-hitter but struck out.
"The report I got at the end of the game [on Saturday] was kind of viral," Wakamatsu said. "Just felt sick and still a little weak today, so we'll re-evaluate him again tomorrow, too."
Johnson thriving with his new club
NEW YORK -- Second baseman Kelly Johnson appears to be thriving in his new surroundings with the Blue Jays.
The veteran infielder was suffering through a down year in Arizona before getting traded to the Blue Jays for Aaron Hill and John McDonald on Aug. 23.
The sample size is still small, but Johnson has begun to turn his year around and the Blue Jays' brass has been impressed.
"He's had some great at-bats," Toronto acting manager Don Wakamatsu told reporters Sunday morning. "Driven the ball, almost hit the ball out to left field, so he's using all fields. He made a nice adjustment on a breaking ball for a base hit yesterday. Just having good plate appearances."
Johnson began his tenure in Toronto by going 2-for-13 in four games. Since that time, though, he has been on fire. The native of Texas entered play Sunday batting .435 (10-for-23) with one double, two triples, two homers and four RBIs in five games.
Wakamatsu believes most of the newfound success has to do with a fresh start and Johnson's working relationship with hitting coach Dwayne Murphy.
"He mentioned a couple of different times, how excited he is to work with Murph," Wakamatsu said. "Right away, when they had their initial discussions, they were on the same page.
"I think a lot of times a change of scenery, as we've seen in so many players [can be beneficial], but more importantly the relationship and the environment you create."
Despite a low average this season, Johnson ranks second in triples (7), tied for third in homers (20), and tied for fourth in walks (49) among Major League second basemen.
Bautista back in right field in finale
NEW YORK -- Jose Bautista was originally scheduled to start at designated hitter on Sunday afternoon, but he was forced to play the field because of a series of injuries on the Blue Jays roster.
Bautista has been playing through a sore left calf, and although he likely won't be required to miss a game, the club would prefer to give him a day off from the field.
An injury to shortstop Yunel Escobar and flu-like symptoms to outfielder Eric Thames had Toronto playing with a short bench on Sunday in New York, and as a result, Bautista got the start in right field.
"We talked about maybe the next couple of days, whether it's tomorrow or the next day," Blue Jays acting manager Don Wakamatsu said. "We haven't looked at it yet, but [we want to] try to get him off his feet."
Bautista entered play Sunday hitting .309 with 39 home runs and 91 RBIs in 126 games. He is one homer away from becoming just the second player in franchise history to record back-to-back 40 home run seasons.
Worth mentioning
Center fielder Colby Rasmus has yet to take batting practice since suffering a right wrist injury on Aug. 23. The 25-year-old is expected to do so within the next couple of days, but there's no immediate timetable for his return.
"No idea," Blue Jays acting manager Don Wakamatsu said. "You just hope he progresses and continues to get better. You want to see that he's ready before you put him back in that environment."
Rajai Davis went 1-for-3 with a home run during his first rehab appearance for Class A Dunedin on Saturday. Davis got the start at designated hitter and hit leadoff.
Davis has been out since tearing his left hamstring during a game against the Angels on Aug. 14. He is batting .237 with one home run and 29 RBIs this season.

When considering a home purchase, or a refinance for that matter, knowing the value of the associated property is paramount.
Getting a precise assessment of what a property is worth is one of the most important aspects of real estate, and especially critical to the bank or lender providing financing.
After all, it is the bank that owns your home until the mortgage is paid off, so they too have a financial interest in the property in question, often a far bigger one than the borrower.
For example, if you only put 3% down on the purchase, the bank is on the hook for the remaining 97% of the value. That's a big chunk of change.
From the lender's standpoint, the house itself acts as collateral, so it is imperative to have an accurate appraised value when providing financing.
This is also obviously very important to the seller, who will want to list for the highest price possible, but also to the buyer who will want to acquire the home for the lowest price.
And while a buyer and seller can agree to any market price, an appraisal is often used to substantiate the value agreed upon. An appraisal is conducted by an objective third-party to provide an accurate market price based on the attributes of the home, its location, comparable sales, and so on.
To summarize, if you're curious what your home is worth, it's essentially what someone is willing to pay for it, but if the buyer needs a mortgage to finance it, the bank will also have to agree on that valuation.
Getting an Online Home Value Estimate in Seconds
Appraisals used to be hard to come by unless you hired a professional, but thanks to the advent of the Internet and related technologies you can now pull up a valuation in seconds.
Nowadays, several real estate websites, like Zillow, Redfin, and Trulia (to name just three) offer a great deal of information on virtually every residential property in the United States.
Zillow is probably the frontrunner in the automated appraisal business, with its Zestimate now a household name. I've written about those at length. There's also a smaller company called eppraisal.com, but their estimates seem pretty weak and unexceptional.
In short, the estimate or value Zillow comes up with might be far off or spot on, depending on the local market and recent comparable sales.
From what I've seen, the data always seems to be delayed though, and thus the values tend to lag reality. If anything, you get a quick little ballpark figure, and you can track it over time to see which way the market is headed.
But you can't actually use these estimates for anything more than entertainment value. A lender won't take them seriously, and they're often susceptible to massive swings in value.
However, these websites also provide a lot of other useful information such as recent sales nearby the property and the all-important transaction history for the subject property. It's good to know what the property sold for in the past before you go overpaying for it…
If you aren't ready to pay for a full home appraisal, try the free appraisal tool from Zillow.com below to get a quick, ballpark estimate of the value of your home. It's far from perfect, but you get what you pay for.
Recently, the Redfin Estimate was launched to rival the Zestimate, with the former boasting a lower error rate because it is apparently more data-driven. You can check out both to get a better range of value.
Figuring Out Which Way Home Prices Are Headed
The Pending Home Sales Index: this is NAR's forward-looking indicator based on contract signings. It tells us what we might expect in coming months, as signed contracts typically translate into sales within one to two months.
Existing Home Sales: this is NAR's measure of completed transactions that includes single-family homes, townhomes, condos, and co-ops. It tells us what homes actually sold for, how long they took to sell, and whether inventory is contracting or growing.
New Home Sales: this is the Commerce Department's measure of newly-built home sales. Their numbers are based on contracts or the acceptance of a deposit, which economists argue provides a more current gauge of real estate activity. They also report median prices of new homes.
S&P/Case Shiller Home Price Indices: these popular home price indexes track single-family home prices and are calculated each month using a three-month moving average. They track both national both home prices and 20 metropolitan regions. The index levels are published with a two-month lag and released on the final Tuesday of every month.
Freddie Mac's MiMi: if you want a local gauge, check out the new housing market health tool from Freddie Mac, which calculates whether housing conditions are weak, in range, or elevated, on both the national and state level, along with the metro level. This can help you determine if homes prices in your area are on the rise, flat, or declining.
Tip: If you want a quick estimate of what your home might sell for, look at the most recent comparable sales in your area using Redfin. For example, if you own a 3-bedroom, 2-bath house, filter similar results. Then determine the average price per square foot paid and multiply it by your square footage. It's not perfect, but it'll give you a decent idea in no time at all.

Pinner is so busy gobbling down some American cheese, she doesn't seem to notice Stephanie Dean of Happy Pet Vet in North Ridgeville placing another needle in her foot.
Reggie, Pinner's chocolate Lab littermate and faithful sidekick, watches from his usual spot on the floor with an eye on the cheese treat.
That last needle joined 35 others that Dean has strategically placed in Pinner during her half-hour canine acupuncture session. That's down from the 44 that Pinner had placed during her first visit. Pinner is more bothered by standing still than she is by the thin metallic needles.
Dean pays special attention to her four-legged patient's feet and between the toes.
"It's like a reset button for the liver," Dean said.
Newburgh Heights neighbors Kathy Edwards and Carol Ruzicka were themselves on pins and needles when it came to Pinner's health.
The adopted dog had experienced deteriorating health due to advanced liver disease since coming to live with the co-owners a little over a year ago. She had gained 20 pounds — almost all of it abdominal fluid — and her epileptic seizures had gotten worse with as many as eight to 10 episodes a day.
The adopters were losing hope, and money, after trying different medications, regimens and diets with their regular veterinarian — all with no success. Then a friend was doing some research for them on the Internet and suggested they try acupuncture.
Edwards, a Cleveland Clinic nurse, and Ruzicka, a concert master violinist with the Cleveland Pops Orchestra who also teaches at the Cleveland Institute of Music, were open-minded to the suggestion.
They had both personally tried acupuncture and had success with it. Edwards had even sought acupuncture for her since-deceased Lab/English springer spaniel mix Otis more than 20 years ago when he lost the use of his back legs. After a few sessions, he was jumping in and out of the car.
After thousands of dollars spent on traditional Western veterinary medicine, the co-owners and longtime family friends were financially stretched, but not ready to give up on their fur kid. They decided to call Dean, one of a handful of veterinarians in Northeast Ohio certified in pet acupuncture.
Edwards and Ruzicka aren't alone.
According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, pet owners will spend $24 billion dollars this year on their pets' medical care. That's billion with a "b," and it's an amount greater than the gross domestic product of more than half the world's countries.
And part of that $24 billion is spent on alternative medical treatments such as acupuncture. The Eastern medicine treatment of sticking needles into the skin to stimulate or unblock channels of energy within the body is used to aid in everything from dermatological disorders to incontinence to hip dysplasia in pets.
"We basically had nothing to lose," said Dean, who sees an average of two acupuncture patients a day. "Pinner was a barrel with legs and her quality of life was poor. Her appetite was poor and the fluid accumulation and constant seizures meant that Pinner couldn't play or go for walks. I expressed concern to the client that we were very late in the course of Pinner's disease. We started intensely, doing acupuncture every four days."
According to the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, acupuncture is among the oldest healing practices in the world. As part of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is used to restore and maintain health through the stimulation of specific points on the body. It's more than 3,000 years old.
Pinner's treatment combines Eastern and Western medicine. Dean has kept her on her traditional Western prescription medications, but she's also added the acupuncture, Chinese herbs and a little extra milk thistle for good measure — something her co-owners came up with.
After about three months of acupuncture sessions, Pinner is the picture of health, sleek and svelte with a beautiful, shiny coat. She is playful and active, and you'd never guess she was a dog on her deathbed a few months before.
Dean said Pinner has gone from a 39½-inch belly circumference to 27 inches and is down to a normal 78 pounds from the fluid-filled 100. She is only seeing Dean once a month now.
"I'm an optimist, but Pinner's progress is impressive," Dean said. "She is doing phenomenally well."
At about $50 per session, Edwards and Ruzicka feel the money is well spent. And actually cheaper and more effective than some of the other more traditional treatments they tried, they said.
"We don't have kids, so these are our babies," said Ruzicka, looking at Pinner and Reggie. "It's money well spent."
"She (Pinner) looks great and is doing well," Edwards said. "In fact, we're so happy with the results that we've started Reggie on acupuncture now with Dr. Dean, too, for his allergies and arthritis. He just went around the block for the first time in a long time and his allergies are better."

Darren ASKED THE GUIDE
The speedo in my 2011 Holden Colorado shows 110 km/h when the actual speed is 102 km/h. Apparently this is within the law, but makes it very annoying to drive. According to the dealer nothing can be done to correct the problem, and, as they have parted ways with Isuzu, Isuzu have washed their hands of it. Can the speedo be adjusted at all, or do I have to just put up with it? I have read that some owners are fitting larger diameter tyres to minimise the problem, but this seems an expensive option for a small gain. As a side to this, it could lead to road rage problems, where a driver thinks they are doing the speed limit, but is actually doing well under the shown speed.
Yes, it is within the law, and no, there's not a lot you can do about it. If it's any consolation everyone else is in the same, or a similar boat. The best solution is to estimate the actual speed using the GPS results and drive accordingly.

Santana making strides with retooled slider
Santana making strides with retooled slider
That pitch is appreciably slower these days, and that's a good thing. While pitching seven innings of one-run ball in his most recent outing, Santana's average slider velocity was 81.7 mph. His previous start against the Mariners, it was 81.3. Prior to that, though, it's been mostly at 83-85 mph this season.
That subtle dip in velocity has seemingly given the pitch more break and better results.
On Wednesday night, only one Indians hitter -- Asdrubal Cabrera in the fourth -- reached base against Santana's slider. He threw it 40.4 percent of the time, representing the highest rate since June 23, while using it to record a third of his outs and notch three of his four strikeouts.
Indians manager Manny Acta noted it postgame as the main reason why Santana had success, and Angels skipper Mike Scioscia believes it's a pitch Santana is throwing much better lately.
"As he's found his release point with his slider, it's created more depth in the pitch, whereas earlier it was horizontal when he wasn't able to find his release point," Scioscia said. "That is a power breaking ball. He's thrown that thing anywhere from 81 to 85 mph. That's a power breaking ball, and it has depth. And you're starting to see some of those ugly swings that we haven't seen for a long time."

England's series victory over India has seen them move up to third in the Reliance International Cricket Council Test rankings.
Alastair Cook's men wrapped up a 3-1 victory in the five-match Investec Test series with a comprehensive victory at The Oval and have moved up two places in the ICC's rankings as a result.
A 1-0 defeat to Sri Lanka earlier in the summer had seen them drop to fifth, but they are now just behind South Africa and Australia, albeit some way adrift.
India have slipped one place to fifth with Sri Lanka's series win over Pakistan moving them into fourth, with Pakistan dropping to sixth.
England's Joe Root, meanwhile, has continued his surge up the batting rankings after breaking into the top 10 for the first time.
The Yorkshireman is England's highest-ranked batsman and he now sits in ninth place following his 149 not out in London over the weekend.
His innings was the fifth time he had registered at least a half-century in the series, one in every match to replicate a feat achieved previously by only two Englishmen.
Captain Alastair Cook ended his slump in form to move up to 21st, while Gary Ballance's excellent summer has helped him to 24th.
Stuart Broad has risen to eighth in the bowling rankings, while Moeen Ali has also moved up one place to 32nd.

September 19, 2006
Washington's Enron-style accounting is now so widespread and so deeply ingrained, the nation could be bankrupt and not even know it, says investment writer Martin Weiss.
- The official 2005 budget listed the U.S. federal deficit at $319 billion.
- But according to the Government Accountability Office (GAO), if the government followed the same generally accepted accounting principles it demands of corporations, the real 2005 deficit would have been $760 billion -- or more than double the official number.
And that's just one year of new debt the government has to take on to make ends meet. If you take a look at the total debts and obligations the government has accumulated over the years, the picture gets much worse, says Weiss:
- At the end of the first quarter, the total federal debt, including government agencies and government-sponsored enterprises, stood at $10.2 trillion.
- But if you also include the estimated unfunded liabilities for Social Security, Medicare and other programs, the total federal debt is at least $54 trillion, based on three separate studies -- by the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), the National Center for Policy Analysis (NCPA) and the Brookings Institution.

Something special is going on.
How else to explain the Detroit Lions past two victories?
The latest, a 34-30 road stunner over the Dallas Cowboys was even more improbable than last weeks rally from a 20-0 halftime deficit against the Minnesota Vikings, a game that saw the Lions outscore the Vikings 26-3 in the final two quarters and overtime.
With Tony Romo and the Cowboys rolling against an invisible Detroit defence and Matthew Stafford sleep-walking through the first half, nobody believed the Lions would end the day at 4-0 for the first time since 1980.
But the mercurial Romo again turned into a pumpkin, the best receiver in the NFL Calvin Johnson surely converted a couple more of his few remaining critics with a pair of pretty touchdown catches and the most unexpected story of this young football season continues.
Coming off a poor effort against Washington an 18-16 win nonetheless Romo started brilliantly, leading his club to a 17-0 lead going 23-for-28 with three touchdowns.
Meanwhile, Stafford, playing where he grew up in front of dozens of family and friends was seemingly unaware that the game had started, passing for just 88 yards through two quarters.
The Lions were held to a field goal in the first half and went to the break trailing 20-3. Romo then hit Jason Witten in the end zone to start the second half Dallas fifth drive for points on seven possessions and the blowout was on.
Except, it wasnt. Romo, who has alternated between brilliant and shockingly awful so far this season, completed just six of his next 13 passes, with three of the incompletions being interceptions.
How Romo went from pinpoint accurate throwing a pair of touchdowns to Dez Bryant and picking out Witten and Laurent Robinson consistently to all over the place is a big mystery, though the fact that the Lions vaunted defence finally started to put some pressure on Romo had something to do with it.
Romos first pick was taken into the end zone by ex-Cowboy and Romo chum though perhaps not anymore Bobby Carpenter and not five minutes later, Chris Houston returned another miscue 56 yards for a touchdown.
At that point, Johnson went to work, ironically tying a record set by one of his most vocal critics, ex-Viking Cris Carter. Johnson and Carter are now the only players ever to haul in two touchdown receptions in four consecutive games. Johnson is the first to do it to open a season.
Already the owner of the undisputed catch of the season, Johnsons first touchdown was another doozy. Megatron made two defenders look silly taking to the air to haul in the bomb.
Lions kicker Jason Hanson cut the lead to three with a 51-yard field goal with 4:22 remaining and then things got even crazier.
Instead of choosing the ground game to run off some clock, Romo hurled a pass on first and 10 and Lions linebacker Stephen Tulloch stepped in front of Witten for another interception.
Johnson completed the comeback, hauling in another tough touchdown reception on first and goal with 1:39 remaining.
It was the largest blown lead in a loss in Dallas history.
Today and over the next week or two, its going to be difficult to look back at it, but at some point here, were going to move on, admitted Romo.
Cowboys defensive coordinator Rob Ryan had made the mistake of taking a shot at Johnson earlier in the week, stating that Dallas receivers Miles Austin (out with an injury) and Bryant were better.
We (Dallas defence) work against better receivers, Ryan had said.
It seems the more people try to knock Johnson down, the more ridiculously he performs.
He got a lot of respect for him for not being the best receiver on their team, Stafford joked afterwards about Johnson.
(Ryan) throws a couple of guys on him here and there. Johnson was double-covered for much of the game.
So, blame Romos ailing ribs or questionable decision making. Blame Ryan if you want.
Or maybe just give Johnson and these Lions credit.
It appears they are for real, though that offensive line still could use some work.
The Lions made a bit of history, becoming the first team to win consecutive games after trailing by 20 or more points in both games. They also became the fifth team since 1990 to start 4-0 a year after beginning 0-4 Romo had his 20th career game with at least three touchdown passes, which tied Dallas team record, previously held by Danny White Dallas lost safety Gerald Sensabaugh with a concussion, Detroit counterpart Amari Spievey exited with a sore hamstring and backup Erik Coleman injured his ankle Jacksonville rookie quarterback Blaine Gabbert struggled, completing just 16-of-42 passes against New Orleans Drew Brees has thrown a touchdown pass in 31-straight game, passing Dan Marino for third-longest ever Minnesota has been outscored 67-6 in the second half and overtime this season Cleveland lost cornerback Joe Haden to a sprained knee and receiver Mohamed Massaquoi to a banged up shoulder Browns quarterback Colt McCoy completed 40 passes, five fewer than Drew Bledsoes NFL record Tennessee safety Chris Hope broke his arm Matt Forte joined Walter Payton and Gale Sayers as the only Chicago Bears to rush for 200 yards in a game.

A hard disk drive (HDD), hard disk, hard drive or fixed disk is a data storage device used for storing and retrieving digital information using one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. The platters are paired with magnetic heads arranged on a moving actuator arm, which read and write data to the platter surfaces. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order rather than sequentially. HDDs retain stored data even when powered off.
When you format a hard drive, the operating system erases all book keeping information on the hard drive. Note that reformatting a disk does not erase the data on the disk, only the data on the address tables. Do not be worry, if you accidentally reformat a hard drive that has useful data.

Top 8 Hatfields and McCoys of Politics
When it comes to violence, pettiness, and feuding, the Hatfields and McCoys don't have anything on some of the biggest names in American history. Here's a look at eight big feuds since 1787. Read our list and tell us which dispute had the biggest impact on our country.
Alexander Hamilton v. Aaron Burr
The most famous of all political feuds was one of the earliest. Alexander Hamilton was a Founding Father, while Aaron Burr was the vice president of the United States.
The bad blood between the two men might have dated back to the Revolutionary War, when Hamilton received a field promotion, while Burr didn't. Burr then defeated Hamilton's father-in-law in a U.S. Senate election. Then Hamilton helped defeat Burr in the 1800 presidential election after Thomas Jefferson and Burr tied in the general presidential election.
After Hamilton made insulting remarks about Burr that were published, the two men agreed to terms for a duel.
On July 11, 1804, Burr fatally wounded Hamilton in their duel. The vice president wasn't tried, but he was charged with murder in two states.
Aaron Burr v. Thomas Jefferson
That's right, Burr again--the man was a prolific feuder.
President Thomas Jefferson wasn't fond of Burr before the Hamilton duel, and he had already dropped Burr from the presidential ticket in 1804.
Burr eventually became involved in some schemes in the Deep South that involved Spain and Mexico and Burr's possession of a large amount of land.
In 1807, Jefferson ordered Burr's arrest on treason charges. But in a trial supervised by the chief justice of the Supreme Court, John Marshall, Burr was found not guilty.
Burr then became a non-factor in American politics, while Jefferson remained irate at Marshall.
Andrew Jackson v. John Quincy Adams
In one of the nastiest electoral feuds in U.S. history, both men used hand-to-hand campaign tactics that would shock modern political operatives.
Adams defeated Jackson in a House runoff election in 1824, even though Jackson had received much more of the popular and electoral vote.
The rematch in 1828 was especially bitter, as Adams operatives claimed Jackson was a bigamist and called his wife a prostitute, while Jackson's campaign said Adams had offered women as concubines as part of his diplomatic career.
Jackson won the election, but his wife died of a heart attack before his inauguration. He blamed her death on the Adams campaign. Both men wouldn't speak to each other at Jackson's inauguration.
Preston Brooks v. Charles Sumner
In an attack that further divided the North and South, Preston Brooks attacked Charles Sumner on the U.S. Senate floor with a metal-tipped cane in 1856, leaving Sumner seriously injured. Brooks received a $300 fine.
The incident started when Senator Sumner, an abolitionist, went on a two-day rant on the Senate floor after an incident in Kansas.
Sumner made fun of Brooks' relative, Senator Andrew Butler, who had suffered from a stroke, and he used language that compared the South's use of slavery to prostitution.
An irate Representative Brooks sought advice from fellow South Carolina Representative Laurence M. Keitt, who talked Brooks out of a duel. Instead, Brooks confronted Sumner on a nearly empty Senate floor, and beat the defenseless Sumner to a pulp as Keitt stood by with a drawn gun.
Sumner survived but didn't return to the Senate for three years. Brooks was later challenged to a duel by another politician but backed out at the last moment. Brooks died in 1857 from the croup.
James Buchanan v. Stephen Douglas
A long-forgotten feud that led to Abraham Lincoln's election as president in 1860 was the split between President James Buchanan and Senator Stephen Douglas in the run-up to the election.
Buchanan long had presidential ambitions, but he inherited a nation in 1856 that was on the path to Civil War. He defeated Douglas for the Democratic presidential nomination prior to the election.
Douglas was an esteemed member of the Senate who defeated Lincoln in the 1858 Senate campaign in Illinois.
Douglas was also a powerful member of Congress, but he split from Buchanan over issues related to the Kansas situation.
The bitter feud between Douglas (as the leader of the northern states of the Democratic party) and Buchanan (who was favored by the South) opened the door for the little-known Lincoln to become president.
The South knew where Lincoln stood, and the succession began as Buchanan ended his presidency.
Grover Cleveland v. James Blaine
James Blaine was a top leader in the Republican party who had twice been denied the presidential nomination, and forced out as secretary of state in 1881, after President James Garfield died.
Grover Cleveland was a national political newcomer from New York with a reputation as a reformer.
But as their parties' respective nominees in 1884, Blaine and Cleveland engaged in the most mudslinging since the 1828 Jackson-Adams election.
The Democrats called Blaine "the continental liar" after documents surfaced that seemed to tie Blaine to railroad interests.
The Republicans dug up claims that Cleveland had a child out of wedlock, and used the slogan, "Ma, Ma, where's my Pa?" to target Cleveland.
Cleveland's supporters countered with claims that Blaine, like Andrew Jackson, might not have been legally married when he had his first child.
The final straw was when a Blaine supporter insulted Catholics just before the election--costing Blaine the vote in New York City and the margin of victory in a narrow race.
Cleveland probably had the last laugh: once he ascended to the presidency, his supporters responded to the Republican's taunt of "Ma, Ma, where's my Pa?"--"Gone to the White House. Ha! Ha! Ha!"
FDR v. Supreme Court
The president had feuded with the Supreme Court before, with the struggles between Jefferson and Marshall, and Lincoln and Roger Taney, as prime examples.
But what about a president who sought to change the number of Supreme Court justices to ensure a favorable outcome in cases?
In the 1930s, President Franklin D. Roosevelt tried to "pack the court," as his opponents claimed, as FDR battled to enact widespread government programs.
The court had ruled against several Roosevelt initiatives and the president used a radio fireside chat in 1937 to tell the public about a bill to give him the power to expand the court.
The measure met a lot of public opposition, and then Roosevelt ran into barriers among his own Democratic Party in the U.S. Senate.
When Senate Majority Leader Joseph T. Robinson died, Roosevelt lost his chief supporter of the Judicial Procedures Reform Bill of 1937.
Eventually, Roosevelt got his friendly court, as most of the justices he inherited in 1933 retired or passed away.
George Bush v. Al Gore
The 2000 general election was settled by a Supreme Court decision involving a small number of votes in Florida.
Gore and Bush had been locked in a tight race that actually started as the Bill Clinton impeachment case was winding down in 1999.
The Republicans campaigned as agents of social and political change in Washington, while Gore touted his experience.
But in many ways, the bitterest part of the campaign happened after he polls closed, when both sides discovered that Florida's 25 electoral votes would decide the election, and all the votes there hadn't been counted yet.
At one point, TV networks declared both candidates as winners of the election. Gore conceded to Bush and then retracted his concession.
After a series of legal appeals, the original vote count in Florida stood and on December 12, the Supreme Court overturned a Florida ruling permitting a wider recount.
Bush had taken Florida by a little over 500 votes, but it was enough to win the election.
A New York Times analysis right after the election showed that Bush would have taken Florida under the recount rules proposed by the Gore camp.
But in subsequent years, there were reports of some scenarios that might have given Gore the 25 electoral votes he needed.

We have updated our Privacy Policy and encourage you to read it by clicking here.
Recently, openSUSE announced that it would be adding two alternative options to its community based systems, a "Long Term Support" version, similar to the Canonical Ubuntu LTS releases, and a rolling release model, similar to the approach used in Debian Testing and Debian Sid.
In the case of openSUSE, a variation called "Tumbleweed" has been established in order to create a reasonably stable implementation, which allows users to install once, then upgrade in a perpetual, "rolling release" manner, that is, keep the same base system, but install updated applications and system tools as they become available.
The technique to create this "rolling release" from the existing current release, openSUSE 11.4, was fairly straightforward. All it took was to ensure that no other "Packman" or extraneous repositories were added to the core 11.4 repositories, and if so, to remove them, then simply add the Tumbleweed repository and the Tumbleweed "Packman" repository.
I did this, and now I will simply upgrade packages as they change, and see how well this approach works.
As I started to write this paragraph, I initiated a system upgrade once the Tumbleweed repositories were configured. When I started the upgrade, in order to install the packages that were recognized, some conflicting packages existed in the current system. I was given anywhere from two to four alternatives for each of the conflicting packages. I took the approach to remove the packages that were in conflict, allowing the new "rolling release" packages to provide the replacements (and if they don't, I will install the replacements later myself).
There are already over 300 packages in the new Tumbleweed release that were not in the openSUSE 11.4 release, so I think that this is going to work out very well.
The openSUSE 11.4 release is an outstanding stable release, and it was exceptional, not only during the six milestone builds during the testing phase of the release, but it has been a model of stability after the release, but it has been pretty static since release.
I have a number of other distributions available to me, so I am not concerned about potentially affecting the stability of this openSUSE installation. In this case, I am more interested in testing something new than I am in having another stable system - I have several of them. I want to explore the latest developments in the SUSE infrastructure. Over the past year, I have become increasingly impressed with the work that they are doing, and I am especially interested in this Tumbleweed development, so off I go to explore the possibilities and assess how well it works!

Yoga Rockford: The experiment of yoga
By Jennie Williford
Pranayama Yoga Studio
B.K.S, Iyengar is quoted as saying that "for a yogi, the body is the laboratory for perpetual experiment and research," and I would have to agree. I am a scientist, a biologist and anthropologist by schooling. And for me, yoga has turned out to be a path of endless fascination, depth and amazement, giving me the ability to observe experiments within my own being on so many levels.
When treated like any other physical exercise, we fail to see the depth that yoga has to offer. And when the major "goals" of the practice begin to outweigh the small miracles it creates, we lose sight of the full effects yoga can bring to life.
I began yoga as a lark with some girlfriends after years and years of doing many other forms of exercise, punishing my body in numerous ways to stay "healthy" and battle lifelong weight issues. I was stiff from never stretching, had bad knees, bad ankles, and ultimately just got bored or injured by most other physical work. Then, yoga challenged my stiff body to move in new ways and encouraged my agitated mind to find focus and quiet. It was horrible at first, and I had no interest in standing on my head or bending into strange and unusual shapes. So why did I stay?
I thank my inquisitive, scientific mind for keeping me with the practice. Slowly and subtly, I began to feel changes taking place, like none I had ever experienced before. The awareness and knowledge of my body went from the bulk outer muscles to the internal subtle movements. My mind began to turn from an agitated state to a more focused one. Beyond common explanation, I felt healthier and stronger than I ever had with conventional exercise. I began to realize that the practice of yoga is one grand experiment to live by, moment to moment, experiencing real change and improvement with each and every breath.
Iyengar Yoga specifically is the perfect outlet for the experiment of yoga. It is a true representation of the definition of Hatha Yoga, the uniting of the physical self to the spiritual self through determined effort to know your own body and mind. Through detailed focus on alignment in the poses, you are able to slowly and methodically come to an understanding of every level of your being, from the surface to the core. You are challenged to stillness to "see" and experience what is really happening. And, with the use of props, you are able to focus the mind away from distractions that occur knowingly or unknowingly within a non-aligned or quickly performed pose.
All yoga poses, when done well, are designed to activate and regulate every system of the body, and through that balance, create a vessel that is fit and able to channel energy better and more efficiently. As in any scientific experiment that must show tangible results or be thrown out, the experiment of yoga brings clear and practical benefits to each individual. Thorough knowledge of every aspect of the self brings palpable change in every aspect of living: physically, mentally and spiritually.
You can always find and read the lists of benefits and by-products of yoga, but truly there are no perfect words to describe the real changes that practice brings. I can share the results of my own experiment with knowledge that every practitioner will have differing results; we each start yoga for different reasons, and stay in yoga for even differing ones. You just have to make the choice to take charge of your own laboratory, to explore the mysteries that lie within your individual test-tube, and no matter what, ultimately enjoy the fascinating results.

Nice detective work, indeed. I don't look in for two days and this thread has exploded into life. Having nothing to add, and only having EP's The Silmarillion (why would I buy anything else! ) --all I will say is: their Silmarillion appears to have all the textual errors from the first impression present; presumably because they used this text (photographically) for their edition.

ApproachOn June 6th, 2002, I left my house just North of Denver for the extraordinarily beautiful drive across I-70 in Colorado. Driving early in the morning, I could see the sun coming up shining a mild light on the lofty peaks. I could see the slimmers of snow as I reached high country. My car struggling to get through the Eisenhower Tunnel, crested the great incline and I descended down the other side until I reached exit 195(rt. 91).
Rt. 91 is another gorgeous road which leads to Leadville. Leadville is an interesting town that reaches about 10,150 feet at its center. It sits in a high plateau, wide on all sides. In Leadville, I took Highway 24 for a few miles until I took a right on State Road 300. After a mile or so, I took a left at a sign that pointed to the Halfmoon Campground. I took that road for a mile or so, and took a right on a dirt road which leads directly towards the mountains. On these roads you will see two mountains. Mt. Massive on the right, and Mt. Elbert on the left. I drove down the dirt road for about 5 miles until I hit the Mt. Elbert trailhead.
The HikeAt the trailhead, I listened to some music, in this instance, System of a Down, as I got ready, putting on my warm clothes and filling my pack with water and food for the trip. I knew the distance was only 9 miles round trip, but with nearly 4,500 feet to climb my work was cut out for me. It was a good thing I was in great physical condition.
The weather was mild. Not warm, but not too cold. Now on the trail, I walked for only a few minutes until I hit the South Colorado trail which quickly goes over Elbert Creek. From there the trail was steep. It took me about an hour to get above tree line.
When I got out of the trees I started hiking the alpine tundra. From the moment I got out of the trees, there was the steepest incline I had yet to see. It looked like an escalator to the sun...without the steps or the ground moving for me.
By the time I topped out, I was over 12,000 feet high. I could see Mount Massive's summits to the right.
Not that the steepness stopped at this point, but it was more gradual. The reason is that the trail ceased to be a straight up climb, and became a series of switchbacks. Zig zagging up the trail with Pikas running all over the place, I finally got to another steep part of the hike. This time the hike was up towards the false summit. Once I crested this, there was not much more elevation to gain or distance to go to the summit. 20 minutes or so later I was on top of Colorado at 14,440 feet. It took me just 2 hours and 37 minutes to reach this point. Now on the summit, strong winds and cold temperatures caused me to shiver, so I ate my food, got my photo taken by a nice couple at the top, and headed down 15 minutes after I arrived.
ConclusionThe mountain was not too crowded this day. There were only 3 or 4 people at the summit. I started the climb around 6:30am, summited a little after 9:00am, and got down before noon.
This mountain may seem easy for it's height, but never forget just how steep it is from the trailhead. No mountain requiring over 4,400 feet of elevation gain is going to be easy! Perhaps the reason I made it to the summit in a quick 2 hours 37 minutes, was that I was doing it partly as a workout, so I only took 10 minutes worth of break time the entire trip up to the summit.
I enjoyed hiking Mt. Elbert. I had moved to Colorado a few months before this hike, and this was my first fourteener. Perhaps Elbert is not as exciting as mountains where you have to find your own trail, but it is remote enough to keep out huge crowds, and the views of the area are fantastic. This is the highest Colorado has to offer, and that alone makes Elbert a worthwhile climb.

Shave More, Get More: New Research Finds Men Who Shave Regularly Have More Sex, Are More Confident and Are Generally More Satisfied.
Schick(R) Skin-dex Explores Shave Trends and Correlating Behaviors Nationally and Across Major U.S. Cities.
Apr 06, 2010, 08:03 ET from Schick
SHELTON, Conn., April 6 /PRNewswire/ --
Shave More
Get More:
According to the Schick Skin-dex survey, a national research poll conducted by StrategyOne, men who shave regularly (5 times a week or more) have twice as much sex (15.5 vs. 7.8 times per month). They're also happier (89% vs. 82%), more outgoing (41% vs. 32%), more social (42% vs. 34%), more likely to report they are living their dreams (76% vs. 64%) and more likely to report more attractive significant others.
Emotional and Romantic Satisfaction:
The Skin-dex survey also shows a clear link between material, emotional and romantic satisfaction and the frequency of men's shaves. In fact, men who shave five days a week or more are more confident, twice as likely to be employed as those who shave two days a week and are much less likely to live with their parents. On average, they earn $15,100 more per year than infrequent shavers and are more likely to own luxury items.
Women and Shaving:
According to the Skin-dex survey, women ranked "irritated skin" among the top three biggest turn-offs in a man -- right after body odor and dandruff. In fact, irritated skin is more of a turn-off than baldness and gray hair.
Sixty-six percent of women associate men who shave regularly with a variety of positive qualities, including higher self awareness, deeper commitment and greater comfort with themselves. Eighty-two percent report a preference for cleanly shaven men and another 83% say it's sexy when a man has a smooth touchable face. Additionally:
Regional Differences:
Men in Los Angeles and DC may have reason to celebrate with these localities reporting the greatest number of shaves per year (198). Philadelphians and Atlantans shave the least, with only 161 shaves a year. Yet Los Angeles men, along with Philly and New York men are the most likely to report having a full beard. Most shaves by region:
Meanwhile, men in Dallas report the highest number of soul-patches per capita (14%). Atlanta takes the sideburns (27%) and goatee (32%) titles, while Boston and Washington are the clean shave capitals (31% and 29% respectively). Atlanta (26%), New York (24%), LA (24%) and Dallas (23%) own the mustache crowns while Philadelphia (21%) New York (19%) and LA (19%) are the most bearded cities.
Schick Hydro Refreshes Men's Shaves
After years of development, Schick announces today that its revolutionary Schick Hydro razor is available for purchase nationwide. Schick Hydro razors combine many first to market technologies like skin guards, innovative skin protectors that smooth out skin between blade tips; an advanced hydrating gel reservoir that lubricates throughout the shave process; a convenient flip trimmer (Schick Hydro 5 only); and an effortless ergonomic handle. Officials say that these technologies combine to deliver outstanding skin comfort, while providing one of the closest shaves available. They also address the number one reason men avoid shaving, irritation. Along with a new line of Schick Hydro™ Shave Gels, Schick Hydro is a complete skin comfort system that goes beyond hair removal to actually care for men's skin.

Epilepsy Therapy Project and Milken Family Foundation Announce Recipients of Inaugural Young Investigator Awards
Nov 10, 2011, 08:50 ET from Epilepsy Therapy Project
Grant New UCLA Fellowships for Groundbreaking Pediatric and Adult Epilepsy Research
WASHINGTON and SANTA MONICA, Calif., Nov. 10, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Epilepsy Therapy Project (ETP), a non-profit organization whose mission is to accelerate new therapies for people living with epilepsy and seizures, and the Milken Family Foundation, which helps to support basic and applied medical research especially in the areas of epilepsy and cancer, today announced the recipients of the organizations' new Young Investigator Awards, two three-year fellowships for pediatric and adult epilepsy research programs at the UCLA Department of Neurology.
Shaun Hussain, M.D., M.S., Pediatric Epilepsy Fellow, Division of Pediatric Neurology, Mattel Children's Hospital at UCLA, will conduct the Pediatric Epilepsy Fellowship for his research in causes and optimal treatments for uncontrolled seizures in children. Rohit Ajay Marawar M.D., M.S., fellow in Epilepsy and Clinical Neurophysiology at the Seizure Disorder Center, UCLA, will hold the Adult Epilepsy Fellowship for his research in mapping and classifying the physiological characteristics of epilepsy conditions.
"As the first recipients of the ETP and Milken Family Foundation Young Investigator Awards, Drs. Marawar and Hussain are undertaking important research with the potential to open up new frontiers in our understanding of how to treat and even prevent the onset of seizures in adults and children. The ability to identify and characterize epileptic networks in the entire brain exemplifies new directions in the field," said Jerome Engel, Jr., M.D., Ph.D., Director, Seizure Disorder Center, Reed Neurological Research Center, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.
Dr. Hussain's research focuses on the use of electroencephalography and electrocorticography (techniques for measuring brain waves) to determine the causes and optimal treatments for uncontrolled seizures in children. Among his current research endeavors are: (1) a trial of oral diazepam for treatment of electrical status epilepticus in sleep among children with Landau Kleffner Syndrome; (2) a comparison of high-dose prednisolone and corticotropin for treatment of infantile spasms; and (3) an observational study to determine whether the presence of fast ripples, a pattern seen with electroencephalography and electrocorticography, predicts seizure-freedom after epilepsy surgery in children.
Dr. Hussain attended the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York where he earned a medical degree with distinction for epilepsy research, and received additional training in biostatistics and epidemiology. His interest in pediatric epilepsy care and research led him to University of California, Los Angeles, where he completed residency and fellowship training in general pediatrics, adult neurology, pediatric neurology and clinical neurophysiology.
Dr. Marawar is participating in a project based in the UCLA Seizure Disorder Center and Brain Mapping Center that is investigating the essential anatomy of epilepsy to allow more accurate classification and thereby more precise therapy trials and more effective surgical treatments. The conventional approach to epilepsy and seizure classification is to divide both into either focal (partial) or generalized seizures and then localize the focal seizures to one brain region whenever possible. New methodologies for brain imaging are now providing us an opportunity to move this understanding of both epilepsy and seizures to an entirely new level. With resting state functional MRI, three dimensional maps of brain activity may be generated repeatedly and without risk. These maps can complement EEG results and provide radical new insights into the regions involved in both seizure occurrence and the epileptic state between seizures.
Dr. Marawar's past projects in this field have looked into utility of repeat admissions for long-term video EEG monitoring, psychiatric complications in pediatric seizures and pharmacokinetics of anti-seizure drugs. Dr. Marawar came to UCLA after completing his residency in Neurology at Albany Medical Center, Albany, New York, M.S. in Biomedical Engineering from Vanderbilt University, and MBBS from Government Medical College and Hospital, Nagpur, India.
"Drs. Hussain and Marawar are representative of a new cadre of distinguished academic researchers and investigators who are furthering our understanding of the science and novel approaches to addressing epilepsy," said Howard Soule, Ph.D., Executive Vice President, Chief Science Officer, Milken Family Foundation. "The Milken Family Foundation is proud to contribute critical resources for the training of bright and creative physicians who have great potential to improve the lives of people with epilepsy."
"This new fellowship program furthers the Epilepsy Therapy Project's collaboration with The Milken Family Foundation and embodies our mutual mission of investing in the future of epilepsy care," said Warren Lammert, ETP Founder and Chairman. "These fellowships recognize the grave need to speed research and important discoveries in the treatment of epilepsy. Side-effects of existing medications including fatigue, nausea and other complications are unacceptable, and more than 30% of people with epilepsy live with uncontrolled seizures."
About the Milken Family Foundation
The purpose of the Milken Family Foundation is to discover and advance inventive and effective ways of helping people help themselves and those around them lead productive and satisfying lives. The Foundation advances this mission primarily through its work in education and medical research. In medical research, the Foundation is committed to:
- Advancing and supporting basic and applied medical research–especially in the areas of epilepsy and cancer–and recognizing and rewarding outstanding scientists in these areas.
- Supporting basic health care programs to assure the well-being of community members of all ages.
About the Epilepsy Therapy Project
The Epilepsy Therapy Project is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization whose mission is to accelerate ideas into therapies for people living with epilepsy and seizures. Founded in 2002 by a group of parents, distinguished physicians, and researchers, the Epilepsy Therapy Project supports the commercialization of new therapies through direct grants and investments in promising academic and commercial projects.

Title: Are all high mass white dwarf stars magnetic? A test via GMOS Spectroscopy.
Abstract: We propose a pilot study to address the mystery of the origin of magnetic fields in white dwarf stars. One telling clue in this mystery is that spectroscopic mass determinations for magnetic white dwarf stars are consistently higher (averaging 0.93Msun) than for non-magnetic white dwarf stars (approximately 0.6Msun). Through our new white dwarf catalog from Data Release 7 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), we have, for the first time ever, a statistically significant estimate of the distribution of over 1000 magnetic white dwarf stars of different field strengths versus mass and temperature. The low S/N SDSS spectra, however, leave some uncertainty in our identifications of magnetic fields and hamper our ability to simultaneously measure both the Zeeman-splitting and the Stark pressure broadening in these stars, meaning we cannot reliably measure both B and log(g). Obtaining S/N>70 spectra for a sample of low field massive magnetic white dwarf stars, we will test our low S/N determinations of magnetic fields, search for ways to measure B and log(g) simultaneously, and ultimately determine if these magnetic fields are likely developed through the star's own surface convection zone, or inherited from massive Ap/Bp progenitors.

What is the best way to care for your gums?
The best way to care for gums is to develop a routine of good oral hygiene at home and regular visits to your dental professional. Seek specific advice about how to properly clean around the teeth. As a general rule, it is recommended to brush twice a day and floss daily. More care and attention is especially important for those with dental braces and dental work such as dental crowns because dental plaque is often retained around these areas. Address any changed areas such as sores or discolored areas that persist in the mouth so that early treatment is possible if needed. During pregnancy, hormonal changes make the gums more sensitive and easily prone to inflammation. Good dental hygiene is essential at this time to prevent a quick progression of gum problems.
Is it possible to prevent gum problems?
Most gum problems are preventable or, at the very least, can be controlled. For some individuals with inherited gum disease, it can be a lifelong effort to keep the gum disease in check. Identifying problems at an early stage with self-monitoring and regular dental exams is key to avoid potentially bigger problems down the line. Finally, good dental care is essential at home and with your routine dental professional visits.

July is summer in Calgary. Average daytime temperatures are from 20° - 22° C
(68° - 72° degrees F). The weather in Calgary can be very changeable, so you
might encounter lower or higher temperatures as well as wet and dry days. We
recommend that you bring a variety of clothing, including a sweater and a
raincoat (although it is less likely you will need a raincoat). Remember,
Calgary is near the Canadian Rockies, so snow is even possible in July, but does
not happen very often
