COLUMBUS, Miss. (WCBI) — Thousands flooded Columbus Air Force Base this weekend for the Wings Over Columbus Air Show, and local business owners say they're pleased to have the extra customers.
High-flying acrobatics from the Air Force Thunderbirds and others drew big crowds. Unofficial counts showed cars from 40 counties in Mississippi and at least 18 different states.
"It's just been a huge success," said Lt. Tom Laitinen, Air Show Director.
It was the first time since 2010 that the Thunderbirds have appeared at Columbus Air Force Base. The show also offered a chance to show off the base, many of the military's top aircraft, and special features from the Tuskegee Airmen to the Disabled American Veterans.
"Specifically here in Mississippi, we had several of these large aircraft that you see, around here right from Mississippi, so we got quite a bit of local flavor," Lt. Laitinen said.
With a full cslendar of events, area businesses noticed.
"I would love to be this busy every weekend, this has been great for us," Dow Ford, general manager at The Grill in Columbus, said.
Ford says the impact of the air show is huge.
"From a food service or retail standpoint, absolutely, the more people who can see your sign, see your business, be exposed to it, the better. It's been great for us," he said.
Columbus was one of only 14 bases to host the Thunderbirds this year.
The base also hosted a pilot graduation Friday.
Rain moved up Sunday's performance schedule, but an estimated 45,000 people attended Saturday's show alone.
3,000 were there, Sunday.

Tagged: aviaCordion slidehow, video embeding
At first i want to thank you all for a such a great theme – really blowed our mind already!
However we have set aviaslider on our frontpage, images are displaying correctly. We uploaded from computer this 1,4mb sized MP4 video with resollution 896 x 360. We see play button and hear sounds after clicking the button but everything else is black – no video?
By the way is it possible to add videos from youtube to portfolio that they would be automatically as HD quality?
the video player supports mp4 videos however I don't know why it doesn't work in your case. Maybe try to use a different encoding tool. Maybe you can post a link?
2) We use the embed function: http://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds to embed videos. As far as I know it doesn't provide a youtube hd parameter at the moment.
I'm having a similar issue with videos embeded in the aviaCoridion slideshow. The video is playing way off to the right almost off the panel (behind other featured images). I thought it was the size of the video, but I tried different sizes and it still didn't work. If I use the same video and switch to another slideshow (ie. aviaslider), the video is centered nicely.
Also, where and how do I find and get updates to the Corona theme or any of the avia framework updates that may get released(are they released by theme)?
You can download the update at http://themeforest.net (log in and go the the download area). Replace the old theme files with the new ones (make a backup first though). If you've made customizations you can use version.rtf (the changelog) to replace the updated files only.
Maybe the newest update (Corona 1.1) will fix the video problem (some framework bug fixes are included in this update).
The topic 'Aviaslider and MP4 video' is closed to new replies.

text: July 10, 2013 SHARE Jim Ross has posted a new blog over at JRsBarBQ.com. Below are some highlights: The John Cena-Mark Henry segment was text book stuff and I felt helped add some steam to the WWE Title bout at MITB this Sunday. Cena not being able to control Henry's size and girth adds to the intrigue come Sunday. Brad Maddox being named the new, RAW GM provides for some interesting creative opportunities in the future. I'm curious to see where this matter goes and the political agenda that Maddox' TV persona establishes. Brad certainly doesn't have the support of the announce trio based on their comments Monday night which could provide some entertaining interaction in future weeks. Maddox reminds me somewhat of the late, Eddie Gilbert. Maddox' upside is viable. The overall build for the Wyatt Family from the beginning of the show including their entrance was well done. I'm curious to see what their next move will be. Smackdown? MITB? Next week on RAW? All of the above?

Activated carbon (AC) has recently been shown to be effective in sequestering persistent organic pollutants (POPs) from aquatic sediments. Most studies have demonstrated significant reductions of POP concentrations in water and in aquatic organisms; however, limited data exist on the possibility of using AC to immobilize remaining POPs at terrestrial contaminated sites. Under greenhouse conditions, pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo ssp pepo cv. Howden) were grown, and red wiggler worms (Eisenia fetida) were exposed to an industrial contaminated soil containing a mixture of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), i.e., Aroclors 1254 and 1260) treated with one of four concentrations of AC (0.2, 0.8, 3.1, and 12.5%) for 2 mo. The addition of AC to contaminated soils virtually eliminated the bioavailability of PCBs to the plant and invertebrate species. There were reductions in PCB concentrations of more than 67% in C. pepo ssp pepo and 95% in E. fetida. These data suggest that AC could be included as part of comprehensive site closure strategy at PCB-contaminated sites.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

Review for Pulmonary Hypertension Association, Silver Spring, MD, USA
This organization is a godsend for me. Pulmonary hypertension is a very rare disease, and most doctors know very little about it. I have had tips and suggestions from other members which have made a huge difference for me. It is somewhere I can go and get accurate, easy to understand answers. Without this help, I don't know what I would have done.

Pivot Tables/ V-look ups
What are the main purposes of pivot tables?
Are v-lookups related to pivot tables?
How can additional information be added to an existing pivot table?
For upcoming training course dates see: Pricing & availability
RE: Pivot Tables/ V-look ups
Hi Safder,
Thanks for using the forum.
A pivot table is created from a large amount of data which has been prepared as a list. To create a Pivot Table from this list you must first select a cell from within the list, go to the Menu command, Data and Select the ladder option Pivot Table and Pivot Chart Report. Follow the steps in the Wizard, when the Pivot Table blank appears, drag and drop your fields as required onto the four areas and your Pivot Table will appear.
The main purpose of pivot tables is to be able to look at your data in a more dynamic way, as opposed to a static list. V lookups are simply functions which allow you to state the look up value and the computer will look down the first row and across to the column you have stated and return the answer.
V-look ups and pivot tables are both analytical tools. To add additional data to your pivot table simply enter the data and ensure you range has been adjusted.
Hope that helps

According to biographer Fred Lawrence Guiles, her grandmother, Della Monroe Grainger, had her baptised Norma Jeane Baker by Aimee Semple McPherson. She obtained an order from the City Court of the State of New York and legally changed her name to Marilyn Monroe on February 23, 1956.
Here is what appears to be a birth certificate of Marilyn Monroe, born Norma Jeane Mortenson on June 1, 1926. The birth record was created by a local registrar on June 5, 1926, and this certified copy of that information was issued by a Health Officer & Registrar on October 24, 1955. It was photographed and then used for the 1981 article about the death of her father, Edward Mortenson, as depicted on the certificate. Mother was Gladys Monroe; Monroe was a surname that Marilyn Monroe officially used.
According to the original caption: Monroe's film studio, 20th Century Fox, stated that her father passed away when she was a baby but this certificate reveals that Edward Mortenson, who had claimed to be her father, was alive until 1981.

Team of the Week
|Thomas Sorensen
Sol Campbell
|Jonathan Woodgate
|Paul Scharner
|Cesc Fabregas
|Steve Sidwell
|Morten Gamst Pedersen
Didier Drogba
|Kevin Kilbane
|Andrew Johnson
|Obafemi Martins
|Arsene Wenger
All the doomsayers who had Arsenal written off as midtable fodder this season were forced to eat their words this weekend as Arsenal proved they can still live with the best.
The credit must go to manager Arsene Wenger, who has manage to rid his players of those lingering doubts and, without talisman Thierry Henry, mastermind a victory at once-rampant Manchester United. It was the Red Devils who had earned the tag as Chelsea's main challengers but after Arsenal's performance at Old Trafford those without prior knowledge would have thought the Gunners were the danger to the 'Special One'.
That quite rightly earns Arsene the honour of ESPNsoccernet's Manager of the Week. And he is joined by Cesc Fabregas, the 19-year-old Spanish midfielder who ran the show in the centre of the park with a calm head and a footballing brain.
Aston Villa goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen may have had his critics in the past, but his second half performance at Watford helped preserve Martin O'Neill's unbeaten return to the Premiership.
Another returning name is Jonathan Woodgate, handed the captain's armband at Middlesbrough with George Boateng suspended. And he was again a rock at the back at Bolton with the Boro fans baying for an England recall.
There may well be fans at Portsmouth saying the same about Sol Campbell. The central defender has banished the demons of his final season at Arsenal with outstanding performances, another coming as Pompey made it five clean sheets out of five in winning at Charlton.
The final name in defence is Wigan's Paul Scharner, a player who has featured as much in midfield as at the back for the Latics. And he showed his penchant for notching goals by getting up to twice bag levellers at Everton.
Both Scharner's goals came from Kevin Kilbane crosses as he came back to haunt Everton boss David Moyes just 16 days after being sold to Wigan.
But Moyes will not be haunted by the presence of Andrew Johnson, who now looks at snip at £8.5million and showed all his predatory instincts in giving Everton the lead against Wigan.
Reading now sit up in sixth place - though tough times lay around the corner with a frightening run of fixtures on the way - and much owes to the superb midfield displays of former Arsenal trainee Steven Sidwell. He was again pulling the strings as the Royals piled more agony on fellow newboys Sheffield United.
The final place in midfield goes to Blackburn's Morten Gamst Pedersen - who scored and created in the 4-2 home win over Manchester City.
African strikers fill the final two berths. Didier Drogba is hardly the best-loved player in the Premiership but when he produces pieces of skill like he did for the winner against Liverpool few can touch him.
And last, but not least, we come to Obafemi Martins. The forward finally got off the mark as a Newcastle player to complete the Magpies' 2-0 win at stuttering West Ham United.

Senator Golden to Lead Community Memorials to Remember September 11, 2001
Brooklyn - State Senator Marty Golden (R-C-I, Brooklyn) is announcing his plans to host two community memorials to commemorate the 9th Anniversary of the attacks of September 11, 2001, on Saturday, September 11, 2010.
The first memorial will take place at 6:00 p.m. in Marine Park, entrance at Fillmore Avenue and Marine Parkway and at 8:00 p.m., Senator Golden will lead a memorial ceremony at the American Veteran's Memorial Pier, 69th Street and Shore Road. The events will both feature a candlelight vigil and a special patriotic musical performance at the conclusion. (Please note that the mailing for the September 11th Memorial on the American Veterans Pier at 69th Street and Shore Road stated the event is at 6:00 p.m. That is incorrect. The event starts at 8:00 p.m.)
"As we approach the 9th Anniversary of the attacks of September 11, 2001, we remember the tragic events that took the lives of so many of our relatives, our neighbors and our fellow citizens. We can never forget those we lost that fateful morning, and we must continue to stand as strong citizens who survive them and live in the greatest nation in the world, the United States of America," said Senator Marty Golden.
Golden continued, "Over the past nine years, we have always been together as a community at these events, because being together helps us to mourn and heal at the same time. We will join together to remember the victims and pray for them. This year, our ceremonies will be followed by a patriotic musical performance to be offered in the memory of those lost, and to support those who survive them."
All are invited to join with Senator Golden at the memorials. American Flags and candles will be distributed to those in attendance. For additional information, please contact Senator Golden's office (718) 238-6044.

Southwest Gas Corp. Reports Operating Results (10-Q)
Posted by: gurufocus (IP Logged)
Date: November 8, 2011 02:28PM
Southwest Gas Corp. (SWX) filed Quarterly Report for the period ended 2011-09-30. Southwest Gas Corp. has a market cap of $1.84 billion; its shares were traded at around $40.02 with a P/E ratio of 15.4 and P/S ratio of 1. The dividend yield of Southwest Gas Corp. stocks is 2.6%. Southwest Gas Corp. had an annual average earning growth of 1.9% over the past 10 years.
Highlight of Business Operations:On a seasonally adjusted basis as of September 30, 2011, Southwest had 1,836,000 residential, commercial, industrial, and other natural gas customers, of which 987,000 customers were located in Arizona, 667,000 in Nevada, and 182,000 in California. Residential and commercial customers represented over 99% of the total customer base. During the twelve months ended September 30, 2011, 54% of operating margin was earned in Arizona, 35% in Nevada, and 11% in California. During this same period, Southwest earned 86% of its operating margin from residential and small commercial customers, 4% from other sales customers, and 10% from transportation customers. These general patterns are expected to remain materially consistent for the foreseeable future.
The items discussed in this Executive Summary are intended to provide an overview of the results of the Companys operations. As needed, certain items are covered in greater detail in later sections of managements discussion and analysis. As reflected in the table below, the natural gas operations segment accounted for an average of 86% of twelve-month-to-date consolidated net income over the past two years. As such, managements discussion and analysis is primarily focused on that segment. Natural gas sales are seasonal, peaking during the winter months; therefore, results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.
After several weeks of negotiations, a majority of the parties agreed to a settlement, which was filed with the ACC in July 2011. In addition to Southwest, parties supporting the settlement include the ACC Staff, the Arizona Community Action Association, the Arizona Investment Council, the Natural Resources Defense Council, and the Southwest Energy Efficiency Project. The Residential Utility Consumer Office and Tucson Electric Power Company are not parties to the agreement. Two options were presented in the settlement: one providing for partial decoupling (Alternative A) and one with a full decoupling provision (Alternative B). Alternative A would include a $54.9 million revenue increase, or 6.95%, with a 9.75% return on common equity. Rate design improvements would include adoption of a weather normalization provision along with a lost fixed-cost recovery mechanism which would hold the Company financially harmless from reduced sales associated with conservation and energy efficiency programs. Alternative B would include a $52.6 million revenue increase, or 6.66%, with a 9.5% return on common equity. This option would allow for monthly weather normalization and an annual true-up for any non-weather margin variances from authorized amounts per customer. If approved, Alternative B would also require a rate case moratorium, preventing Southwest from filing a general rate case prior to April 2016. Hearings on the proposed settlement were held during the summer and a decision from the ACC is expected by the end of the year. The settlement recommends that new rates be placed in effect by January 2012. Management cannot predict whether either settlement alternative will be approved by the ACC or the timing of rate relief.
Investing Cash Flows. Net cash used in consolidated investing activities increased $128 million in the first nine months of 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010. The increase was primarily due to additional construction expenditures, including routine and accelerated (to take advantage of bonus depreciation tax incentives) pipe replacement, and equipment purchases by NPL due to increased replacement construction work of its customers. In addition, 2010 included a draw-down of funds, restricted for construction activities, associated with an industrial development revenue bond issuance in 2009. Similar draw-downs to fund construction did not occur in 2011.
The following table sets forth the ratios of earnings to fixed charges for the Company. Due to the seasonal nature of the Companys business, these ratios are computed on a twelve-month basis:

If you live in Chicago like this writer, or even just visiting every once in a while, you're probably constantly saying to yourself, "I should really get out and see architecture stuff." There's so many tours and exhibits here, but unfortunately one always returns to, "But who has the time?" The answer to that question is Jennifer Lucente, who works for the Chicago Architecture Foundation and has decided to attempt to take all 85 of the tours offered by her organization within the year. It all falls under the banner, "Around Chicago in 85 Tours Challenge," and Lucente will be documenting all of it on all the major outlets, from a (not yet very busy) blog to her (thus far very active) Twitter feed. Here's a quick description:
From January through December 2010, I have challenged myself to take all of the Chicago Architecture Foundation's 85 tours. I'll be walking, biking, busing, boating, and Segway-ing all around the city and surrounding areas learning about the rich architectural history of Chicago. All of the tours I'm taking are open to the public so come on out and join me!

Boys Names Blues
Why can't boys names be as easy as girls names? My husband and I decided on our girls names SO quickly, it was ridiculous! And neither of us has second guessed any of them. Boys names are always on my mind though. Yes, we have some picked out. And looking at just the boys list, I do like the names! But when I compare to the girls list, they just don't seem to match up!
Here are our girls options-
Cora Anneliese (LOVE Cora, not set on Anneliese though.)
Ivy Louisa (Ivy Lou) Melts my heart when I say it!
Lily Sophia (This is my least favorite, though I still really like it.)
Here is our mish mosh of a boys list-
Merrick Liam (nn Merri) My husband and I love the nn. He loves it becasue it reminds him of Kelly Slater (kind of a girls first name but used on a boy). Also it is part of the name of a surfboard company. I picked the middle name. Love Liam.
Callen Thomas- We both really like Callen, just not sure we LOVE Callen. I love the nickname Cal or Calli. I think Brothers nicknamed Calli and Merri is ADORABLE. So surfer and unusual yet usable. Again, I picked Thomas. It is a family name. Kind of boring though, I know.
We like these names as well, but would probably only use them as middle names-
Also, my dear husband would never use these names as first names (too boring for him) But I love them so much, that if they sounded perfect with a first name, he may agree to use them (That is how I got him to agree to Liam and Thomas!)
Let me know what you guys come up with! Thanks!

The big fire and explosion at Chevron Oil Co.'s Platform Charlie, 30 miles off the Louisiana coast (TIME, April 13), caused the worst offshore oil-well spill in history. For three weeks, a dozen underwater wells spewed up to 1,000 bbl. a day of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico, creating a 50-sq.-mi. slick. The Government accused Chevron, a subsidiary of Standard Oil of California, of failing to install legally mandatory storm chokes and other safety gear that would have shut off the wells when the platform exploded. Last week, in U.S. district court in New Orleans, Chevron pleaded no...

text: While makeup is not the primary focus of my blog posts, I do wear lipstick for almost all my posts. And my previous try at a beauty post is actually what sparked the idea to do this one! I had many questions and comments about the lipstick I was wearing in my eyelash extension post. I also had a friend reach out to suggest I try a lipstick called LipSense. So, this post will be taking a look at all… Read more »

Tom Cruise remains close to his daughter Suri despite his hectic film schedule and being divorced from her mother, according to papers filed Tuesday in the actor's defamation lawsuit against Bauer Publishing Co.
Cruise is suing Bauer over a pair of 2012 stories in Life & Style and In Touch magazines claiming he "abandoned" his daughter due to film shoots overseas.
"I have in no way cut Suri out of my life — whether physically, emotionally, financially or otherwise," Cruise wrote, according to the Associated Press. Despite filming back-to-back movies that year, Cruise said he spoke to his daughter nearly every day and got frequent updates from her mother, actress Katie Holmes.
That's pretty good. Some people live with their kids full-time and don't talk to them every day.
Cruise's lawyers want a judge to order Bauer to declare it had no sources to support its accusations.
Bauer's lawyers cite files they gave Cruise's legal team describing the magazines' reporting and statements from confidential sources, saying Cruise missed Suri's first day of school and could have flown to New York to see her.
Cruise filed the suit in October 2012. His lawyer Bert Fields called the accusation that Cruise abandoned Suri a "vicious lie."

"Very friendly and teaching method is very fun and easy to understand. Thanks Tu! After spending time practicing what we have learnt in this class, I'd love to sign up to the next course" (Brent, Vietnamese Beg 1, April 2017 Intake)
"Being a second generation Vietnamese-Australian, joining Sydney Language Solutions has allowed me to speak to my parents, relatives and other Vietnamese people with more confidence and ease.
Topics studied in the classes relate to every day activities and situations which I can apply in real life.

(Marc Cara, Vietnamese Student)
Na's classes have been invaluable for me in a personal and professional sense.
The weekly language learning and practice have helped me to further my research on environmental change in Vietnam, by expanding my Vietnamese vocab as well as 'thinking' in a Vietnamese way! I joined Na's classes in order to improve my spoken Vietnamese and thus improve my in-country research in Vietnam.
The resulting benefit has been much greater as I have the opportunity to improve my language skills in a continually adaptive teaching environment that is also a lot of fun! We all enjoy Vietnamese celebration nights where we discuss culturally relevant words and events over culinary specialties!

Is Vietnamese taught at SLS in Northern or Southern dialect?
Sydney Language Solutions teaches both dialects. Our teachers will also demonstrate the differences between the two dialects in the class. Please be advised that Vietnamese people from North and South are able to understand each other.
Which one is the official language used for national administrative purpose?
There is only one language used in the whole country, which is Vietnamese language. It is used for national administrative purpose, TV, newspaper, school and everywhere where the language is used. There are, however, two accents associated with the languages: Northern Accent and Southern Accent. The difference in these two accents is only reflected in the way the speakers pronounced some initial consonants (gi, d, tr, r) of the words.
In terms of vocabulary use, Northerners and Southerners may occasionally use different words to refer to the same objects but this only accounts for about 5% of the language's vocabulary. Northerners and Southerners' Vietnamese share exactly the same rule in grammar, syntax and sentence structure.
At SLS, we provide both teachers from both regions and we did provide a glossary of vocabulary to explain the difference between two regions
Which one is used in Hanoi and which one for Ho Chi Minh?
Northern accent is the most popularly spoken in Hanoi and Southern accent is in Saigon. Most students who learn to communicate with their in-laws or relative in Sydney are, however, recommended to learn Southerner accent as that is the popular accent in Vietnamese community in Australia

Well it seems that the government has hired an international academic to advise them. Is that unusual? No. Do all governments seek the advice of like minded individuals to bolster their position? Of course. Some also seek the comments of those with a contrarian view. This government... not so much.
So what is so special about this particular hiring? Well, I guess it gives us a glimpse at the talking points that will be put forward about the treatment of prisoners taken in Afghanistan. The government has obviously tried to come up with rationale for ignoring International treaties, (once again), this time concerning human rights.
Christopher Greenwood, a professor of international law at the London School of Economics, submitted an opinion in mid-August to the Federal Court, which is hearing an application by Amnesty International to halt all prisoner transfers by Canadian soldiers to Afghan authorities.
Prof. Greenwood has also been called as witness for Bush, but, full disclosure, he was also a witness for the Lib's and I disagree with his opinion there too.
So we now know what position the con's are going to take. Presumably, they feel that they will be insulated, because the Lib's used him too. Wrong, they had Axworthy coming out against him.
Here is what disturbs me though:
Greenwood's 34-page opinion for Canada's Federal Court, dated Aug. 14, says it was prepared at the request of Gen. Rick Hillier, the chief of defence staff.
Why didn't MacKay make the request? Well, it could be argued he's too high in the pecking order to do such a thing. Fair enough. But what about the Deputy Minister or others in the department? Obviously, the government is seeking "sound bite" moments and a defense to their position. Why is Hillier directing this? Aren't the Armed Forces beholding to "we the people"? Don't they take their orders through the government, supposedly directed by us?
How is it that the Military is developing, perhaps not policy, but guidelines to defend that policy?
I don't know if this is right or wrong to be honest. I don't know Hillier's job description, but I'm uncomfortable with this.
What say you?

Well this academic certainly shares the same opinion as the Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party!

Fantasy Football Week 5 Rankings: Matt Forte and Top 3 RBsOctober 6, 2011
A number of running backs are set to have major days for your fantasy football team this week. Here, I will detail three of them set to make big contributions should you have them on your roster.
Matt Forte, Chicago Bears (at Detroit Lions)
Matt Forte has single-handedly given life to the Bears offense, and that should continue this week. Though he fell relatively flat in Week 2 and 3, he dominated in his team's Week 4 win over the Carolina Panthers, running for 205 yards and a touchdown.
On the season, he has 324 yards on 60 rushes and one touchdown. He's an asset in the Bears' otherwise underwhelming passing game as well, with 26 receptions for 310 yards and a touchdown.
It goes without saying that he's tremendously valuable in PPR leagues, especially this week; while he won't likely have another 200-yard game against the tough Detroit Lions defense, he will be heavily involved in pass plays.
The Lions defense is tough against both the rush and the pass, and it's a long shot that the Bears can win on Monday night. However, Forte is the Bears' best offensive weapon and will have as good a day as he can while facing such a difficult squad.
Adrian Peterson, Minnesota Vikings (vs. Arizona Cardinals)
Another player carrying his team's poor offense on his shoulders is Vikings running back Adrian Peterson. It says a lot about his skills that no matter how well or poorly the team around him performs, he remains a No. 1 overall fantasy draft pick year after year.
Age and overuse have yet to catch up with him, which is good news for his fantasy owners; even better is the matchup he faces this week against the 25th-ranked Cardinals run defense.
While the similarly poor Kansas City Chiefs run defense had a bit of success stopping him last week, with 23 rushes for just 80 yards, one three-yard reception and no touchdowns, I don't see the Cardinals coming to town and repeating that performance this week.
One hundred yards and a score or two is not out of the question from Peterson, while his team continues on its quest to notch its first win of the season.
Cedric Benson, Cincinnati Bengals (at Jacksonville Jaguars)
Cedric Benson might begin serving his three-game suspension as soon as Week 6, but this week he will take the field with his team against a struggling Jaguars squad that's allowing an average of 107 rushing yards per game.
The Bengals have been surprisingly competent and balanced this year, which means the entire offense doesn't hinge on Benson's production to keep them in games. While this isn't a liability for Forte or Peterson, Benson benefits more from a balanced offense and a well-timed play to make an impact.
On the season, Benson has 77 rushes for 348 yards and a touchdown, and is averaging 87 yards per game. I would not be surprised if he meets or exceeds those 107 average rushing yards put upon the Jaguars this Sunday, with another touchdown.
His owners should try to get value out of him while they can, since they are likely to be without him for the next three weeks of the season.

Union Square Park
Dog Fountain Unveiled In Union Square ParkIMMEDIATE
Thursday, April 10, 2008
No. 28
Parks & Recreation, the Union Square Partnership and the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) today unveiled a brand new fountain at the dog run in Union Square Park. The ASPCA donated $30,000 to the Union Square Partnership for the creation, installation, and future maintenance of the fountain, which can be used by both dogs and their owners.
"This beautiful new fountain will provide much-need respite for pooches and their owners during the approaching 'dog' days of summer," said Commissioner Benepe. "Thanks to the ASPCA and the Union Square Partnership for bringing this amenity to the Union Square Park Dog Run. The renovation of Union Square Park is sure to make this popular urban oasis even more enjoyable for all users—including our four-legged friends."
"We are enormously grateful to the ASPCA for bringing the idea to the Partnership's attention and partnering with us to bring this beautiful dog fountain to Union Square Park," said Jennifer Falk, Executive Director, Union Square Partnership. "This new fountain will enhance the experience for dog run users and their owners, and is truly another great feature in our beloved park."
"The ASPCA is thrilled to continue our long standing tradition of quenching the thirst of New York City's animals by providing clean, cool drinking water in public parks," said ASPCA Senior Director of Special Projects Valerie K. Angeli. "Since 1866, the ASPCA's mission has been to provide comfort and compassion to living creatures who cannot speak for themselves. It is our hope that this new doggie-friendly drinking fountain will be enjoyed by many canines for years to come. We also hope that those use it, or even just pass it by on their way through Union Square Park, will see the ASPCA name on the plaque and be inspired to be just a little bit kinder to all living things throughout their day."
The fountain was designed by Parks & Recreation and contains a drinking fountain at the top for humans and a water bowl at its base for dogs. The bowl has moving water tray that allows the water to empty into a drain. The bowl can then be refilled with fresh water by an attached spigot.
Founded in 1866, the ASPCA was the first humane organization established in the Americas, and today has more than one million supporters throughout North America. A 501 [c] [3] not-for-profit corporation, the ASPCA's mission is to provide effective means for the prevention of cruelty to animals throughout the United States. The ASPCA has a long history of providing drinking fountains for animals since its founding in 1866, primarily for working horses that were the source of transportation during that time. In 2000, the ASPCA donated a historic horse water trough to Central Park for its carriage horses.

Terrorism Prevention and Eastern Africa
Terrorism undermines the core values of the United Nations - the rule of law, respect for human rights, protection of civilians, tolerance among people and nations, and overall development.
Confronted by the operations of Al-Shabaab and other terrorist groups, Eastern African countries - especially those in the Horn of Africa - face major counter-terrorism challenges. Significantly increased concerted efforts are necessary to overcome those challenges. Rule of law-based and human rights-compliant criminal justice measures are an essential element of an effective counter-terrorism strategy.
Since 2003, UNODC has been a key provider of specialized expertise in counter-terrorism and has been assisting Eastern African countries in this regard. Through this Sub-Programme, UNODC seeks to reinforce its counter-terrorism assistance to the countries in Eastern Africa, under the framework of UNODC's Thematic Programme on Terrorism Prevention, and delivered jointly by the Regional Office and the Terrorism Prevention Branch.

New categories
- May 26, 2009 02:09 PM (GMT)
I've made some changes to the Chit Chat section. First, it can now only be viewed by full members and senior members so it is semi-private. The Chit Chat section is only for topics not related to animals, fish, ponds, or the forum. Forum-related topics should go in the notices section.
I made four new categories in the Chit Chat. Please put your topic in the appropriate location. I have yet to move all the old Chit Chat topics to the new forums but will be doing so as I have some time. There are 8 pages of topics to go through, and I have to do it one post at a time! I will move some Chit Chat topics to the animal forums if appropriate. I'm not deleting any topics, just moving them and not leaving a moved icon behind.

Frazee looking to restock shelves for 2010 season
With a talented and larger senior class graduating off of last year's Frazee boys' track and field team, the Hornets will be in sort of a rebuilding mode for the 2010 season.
But there still will be experience and skilled athletes returning for the Hornets.
"We lost a lot and will not be too deep this year," said Frazee head coach Brian Tangen. "We may take some lumps (with only 17 out seventh through 12th grade), but we will be gaining experience along the way."
The sprints and throws will be the strength of the Frazee squad, with senior Clint Johnson leading the way in discus and shot put throws.
Johnson will not be available until about May, due to a knee injury he suffered in basketball this past winter, though.
Junior Forrest Jackson will be replacing his brother, Skyler's, production in the sprints.
Jackson had a solid year in 2009, but was the third sprinter. This year, he takes over as one of the faster Hornets on the track.
"He will be one of the top sprinters in each meet," Tangen said. "I think he's pretty excited because he won't be sprinting behind two other sprinters on his own team. He's definitely looking strong."
Sophomore Dakota Zick was on the state 4x400 relay team from last year and will also be running sprints and mid-distance races.
Cody Nordquist will also be a key contributor in hurdles and sprints.
Relays will not be as strong as last season, just because of the numbers issue, but Tangen is hoping to see some of his younger athletes step up and fill holes in the lineup.
"We won't be able to fill every event, so that's a downer (for the team score), but it does open up opportunities for our younger guys," Tangen noted.

With all sorts of national media in town for the tournament, Mark and Dale Hunter are answering more questions about the rumoured sale of the London Knights for about $6 million.
"Totally untrue," Dale Hunter told the Toronto Star. "That's a story that somebody started and it hasn't been right from the beginning."
The Free Press reported more than two weeks ago that former NHLer Dave Gagner has received an assurance from Hunter that he'll coach the Knights next season as they try to lure draft pick Sam Gagner to the OHL.
Gagner is considering playing in the United States Hockey League for two years while he awaits U.S. scholarship offers.
Speedster off the ice, too
Patrons paying $110 a ticket to attend the Canadian Hockey League awards luncheon yesterday at the Hilton Hotel got to see Sidney Crosby at the head table for 21 minutes. He wasn't around when he was named player of the year two hours later.
Crosby left early because his Rimouski Oceanic were playing the Ottawa 67's last night and he was given the option to be with his teammates for their pregame meal, then rest up for the game.
"We think on a game day, we put the Oceanic and Sidney in maybe a situation that isn't totally fair to the tournament and the goals and aspirations of the Oceanic. And, of course, Sidney himself," CHL president David Branch said before the luncheon began.
"Sidney was gracious as always and said, 'Maybe I should stay for the whole thing' and we don't think that's right."
Mayor to do colour commentary
Mayor Anne Marie De Cicco will go back to her broadcast roots tomorrow night when she takes over from Pete James for a short bit of colour commentary for the Knights-Ottawa 67's game during their CJBK radio broadcast. She used to cover the city hall beat prior to entering politics and has promised to do four or five minutes of colour.

Iranian-made cars to be imported to Dubai
Iran's automobile industry is making further inroads into the Gulf market, with the launch of the Iranian-made Saipa in Bahrain, through the A.A. Bin Hindi dealership, reported Gulf News.
The 1.3-liter Saipa comes in two versions. These are the Saba, a four-door hatchback, and the Nasim, a five-door hatchback. The Saipa has been available in the UAE since 1996, and is also sold in Saudi Arabia.
The Iranian automobile industry currently produces more than 300,000 cars per annum, 60 percent of local demand. But the government aims to increase the production by two-thirds over a two-year period.
In 1999, Iran produced 221,000 passenger cars, 44,000 pick-up trucks, 3,400 minibuses, 5,182 buses, 8,500 four-wheel drives and 7,380 trucks.
Following the Islamic revolution in 1979, the Iranian government banned car imports. However, certain state bodies were permitted to import a small number of cars for special purposes, as could foreign embassies. Today, 35 percent of foreign cars are imported through Dubai and 15 per cent through Sharjah. ¯ (Albawaba-MEBG)

Taxes are crippling our economy and closing our businesses
Tax time always causes me heartburn. I believe that as you earn, you should be taxed, within limits. The challenge for many small businesses over the last 18 months has been to keep the doors open and employees on the payroll as the economy slid into the dumpster. My tax accountant told me that increases in taxes, fees, Medicare and Social Security will add an additional 11 cents on every dollar I earn next year. This level of taxation goes beyond income redistribution (stealing from the working to give to those who refuse to work). To me and other small businesspersons, the anticipated level of taxation confiscates funds from the people who create jobs. Small business owners are asking themselves if they should hire new staff? Should they expand their business? Should they struggle to keep the doors open? Taxes are a deathblow to business just as the recovery sets in.
As I write this, there are new attempts to raise revenue at the federal and state levels. Most people focus on the income tax rate, retail sales taxes, tobacco and liquor taxes yet are unaware of the "hidden" taxes, such as the gas tax. Our economy runs on fuel and the government knows it. The federal gas tax is 18.4 cents per gallon across the nation. Here in Pennsylvania, the state gas tax adds another 31.1 cents per gallon. Together, the tax on a gallon of gasoline is 49.5 cents (http://www.gaspricewatch.com/usgastaxes.asp). This tax is easily paid by the rich but it truly hurts the poor who must commute to low paying jobs in older gas guzzling cars.
I just paid "additional taxes and fees" on an airline ticket of $42.80. The fees and taxes on my phone bill was $19.81. Everywhere I look I find taxes buried on our everyday wants and needs. Clearly, our elected representatives have been very creative in burying taxes. I have heard the call for flat taxes (a straight percentage of what you earn) or fair taxes (a value added or sales tax on the purchase of goods) and a combination of the two. What we need is a complete revamping of taxes. Let's put all taxes on the table for everyone to see along with the cost of collecting and administering the taxes. Don't forget the taxpayer time and aggravation in preparing and submitting taxes and the required paperwork. The tax burden is bad, the labor cost to compile and submit the taxes is a burden on all taxpayers.
The current federal tax code is too complex. Special interests have lobbied for and obtained special exemptions and deductions. The Alternative Minimum Tax, originally implemented in 1970 to capture taxes from 155 of the wealthiest families paying little or no tax. Since then, it has expanded until most of the middle class is crippled by this tax. I cannot condone the government sucking the money from the pockets of struggling middle class families who are trying to raise and educate their children.
Since the income tax was first implemented in 1913 as a "temporary" tax, it has grown in both the amount of tax and the number of people who pay at the maximum tax rate. It now confiscates the income of small business owners, resulting in the closures and job losses. Just look round at the many closed stores in your hometown. Wherever I go, I see boarded up businesses, for lease or sale signs and empty parking lots. Each of these empty buildings used to employ people, sell products or services and pay taxes. Now the employees are on unemployment insurances and face the treat of being permanently unemployable. They went from paying taxes to requiring government aid. No wonder the deficit is huge and growing every second (http://www.usdebtclock.org/).
Yes, we are Taxed Enough Already! It is time to throw out the current tax code and replace it with something simpler. I like a flat tax. I could accept a value added or sales tax if it is in place of an income tax. I want all special interest benefits in the tax code eliminated. While I prefer a mortgage and education tax deduction in any future tax program, I would give these up to get the flat tax implemented. It is time to flood our elected representatives with emails, letters, and faxes to ensure that they work on simplifying taxes and ensuring that everyone pays some tax.
As always, I invite your comments, positive and negative. Please email them to firstname.lastname@example.com.
