Diet/Training Help for a friend
A female friend of mine just got engaged and she has asked me to help her with her diet and training to get into shape before her wedding in october. She has a desk job, and also goes to school, so her activity level is not great right now. Her stats are
Ht: 5 ft 2
Wght: 160
Age: 25
She has access to a gym, and I've been leaning toward getting her started with 20 minutes solid state cardio every other day, and slowly working into alternating between solid state and hiit eventually. I also want to incorperate resistance training, but I may hold off on that untill her cardio vascular system gets used to the running.
My biggest concern is diet, I have no idea how to calculate BMR or caloric needs for a female, all the formulas I have are for males only. I also was leaning toward a cyclical ketonic type diet, as she has commented that her doctor thinks she is carb sensitive.
Any and all advice is certanly appreciated.
I think it would be more beneficial to get her into a little lifting right away along with the SS. Nothing too strenuous to start. Some full body stuff 3 days a week, compound movements. And since she's new to it all, she could do it circuit style which would help to build up her cardio endurance a little faster so that she could work into some HIIT earlier than if she were just doing SS.
Full body circuits should only take about 20-30 minutes. Then, if she wanted to do a little SS afterwards, she'll still be at the gym for less than an hour all together.
Calculating BMR... I use a basic formula:
Generally, for most active women (which she WILL be), 14-16xBW is a great range to start in. 14xBW is what to start with for a cut, 15xBW is maintenance, 16xBW is a start for a bulk. Not everyone falls in this range (of course) and individual BMR can never be pegged with just a simple formula. But it's a starting point. Some women will need to drop to 12xBW to be able to start dropping fat. So it's important that she keep good track of her progress on a weekly or biweekly basis. Measurements (I'd say at least 5 points of measurement) and weight first thing in the morning. If she's not dropping at a decent rate, scale the cals back a little.
And remind her that it's not all about what the scale says. If her weight hasn't moved much, but her measurements are dopping, she needs to remember that it's still a good thing!! Women get so hooked up on what the scale says, that they need some reinforcement sometimes that no matter what the scale says, you can still be making progress.
Awesome, thanks so much IK, your the best.
I will keep things simple to start with, full body machine work is prob going to be the best thing as far as wieghts go for her. she is not familiar with free wieghts at all, and I'm too far away to go teach her.
I'm going to come up with a general plan for everything today, and I'll post up exactly what I'm going to send her, so you can crique before she sees it, if thats ok.
The best thing would be to get her to write down what she is eating everyday for 3-5 days. That way you can tell how many calories she is taking in now.
If she is slowly putting on weight, then you know her calories have to be lowered. If she is maintaining weight, then you know how many calories to give her, just make it the right food..
^^good call Talo, will do.
Jessica, anything that keeps your heart rate up is pretty dam good for fatloss. Circuit training is no different, it isnt optimal for strength or mass gains, but its great for endurance and cardio like effects.
thanks hrdgain81!

When The Simpsons took aim at Apple and the company's cult-like following, it resonated in a "it's funny 'cause it's true" sort of way. But the fact that Matt Groening and co. even decided to focus on how big Apple had become over the years is a testament to, well, how big Apple had become over the years. It made us want to shout, "If they hate, then let 'em hate and watch the money pile up!"

Abraxis' Abraxane meets lung cancer study goal
Abraxis BioScience Inc. said Wednesday its drug Abraxane met key treatment goals in a late-stage lung cancer study.
The company said Abraxane with Taxol, in combination with chemotherapy, improved the overall response rate of patients in the 1,052 patient study. The study focused on patients receiving initial treatment for lung cancer and compared the Abraxane combination with patients only receiving Taxol and another chemotherapy, carboplatin.
Abraxane is already approved as a breast cancer treatment. The company expects to ask for FDA approval as a lung cancer treatment in 2011.
Shares of Abraxis jumped $12.77, or 32.1 percent, to $52.62 in morning trading. The stock has traded between $24.52 and $57.60 over the last 52 weeks.

Etowah's Ashleigh Whisenant won the Gadsden Area Girls High School Golf Tournament on Monday for the third straight year.
Etowah's Ashleigh Whisenant won the Gadsden Area Girls High School Golf Tournament on Monday for the third straight year.
The senior fired a 3-under 69 with five birdies and two bogeys on what she described as a difficult day at Twin Bridges Golf Club in Gadsden.
"The wind was pretty rough all day long," said Whisenant, who will be attending the University of Memphis to play golf in the fall. "The course was playing a lot tougher than it was last year. It wasn't an easy day at all."
While Whisenant took home the individual title, Glencoe won the team championship with a three-person total of 268. Whitney Gray carded an 85 to lead the team and was second in the individual competition. Jordyn Clowdus finished with a 91 and Hope Bishop was at 92 for the Yellow Jackets.
Westbrook Christian finished second with a team total of 284. Jesse Lawley recorded a team-low 88, followed by Ella Lawley (97) and Ali Porter (99).
Southside came in third, finishing with a total of 353. Reilly McGowan was the low Panther with a 99, while Sarah Williams carded a 123 and Bailey Wise had a 131.
Glencoe coach Wes Weems said it was good for his team to get an 18-hole win.
"Our performance was very consistent," Weems said. "It's basically what I've been looking for all season."
The problem has been being able to play matches. Glencoe has played just four times and six matches have been rained out.
"We haven't been able to get into the rhythm of the season," Weems said. "It's been tough for us. But now that we're starting to play a little bit, I'm feeling good about it."
Whisenant is feeling good, too. She settled for a bogey on her third hole of the day, but birdied three of her last five holes Monday and nearly equaled her tournament-record round of 68 from a year ago.
"I settled down," Whisenant said. "I played pretty steady until the end and just turned it up the last few holes."
It was Whisenant's second tournament win of the season. She won the Grissom High School Invitational last month and will compete Friday in the Scottsboro Invitational.
"I hope I can just keep up the good play and then on to state," she said.

SAN DIEGO -- Phillies officials will have one more start to evaluate Carlos Zambrano before determining whether to bring him to the majors.
Zambrano can walk away from his minor-league deal on Monday if he is not promoted to the big club.
"He has one more scheduled start then obviously it will be time to make a decision," GM Ruben Amaro Jr. said Monday night.
That start will likely come Friday night for Triple A Lehigh Valley. Zambrano, 32, has already made three starts for Lehigh Valley. He has pitched 17 innings in those games, allowed 16 hits and six earned runs while walking nine and striking out 17.
Listening to Amaro talk, it sounds like Zambrano has a ways to go.
"If we thought he could help us he'd already be here," Amaro said.
While the bullpen remains a possibility for Zambrano, Amaro said, "We still view him as starting pitching depth for us."
Halladay's rehab
Roy Halladay, who had shoulder surgery on May 15, is playing catch at about 60 feet.
"Tossing is the key word," said Halladay, who said he feels good.
Halladay still has miles upon miles to go in his rehab -- he hopes to pitch late in the season -- but pitching coach Rich Dubee likes what he sees so far.
"It looks very, very good," Dubee said. "The arm action is good. He's able to get his arm up where before he couldn't do that on a consistent basis. He's a long way from pitching, but everything is going according to plan."
Halladay will have a checkup with surgeon Neal ElAttrache on Thursday in Los Angeles.
No issues for Pettibone
Jonathan Pettibone, who experienced back stiffness in his last start, had no problems in his regular between-starts bullpen session Monday and is a go for Thursday in Los Angeles.

Telepath Tactics - May Update
by Myrthos, 2013-06-03 13:03:01
Craig Stern has provided us with a new update on the status of the development for Telepath: Tactics. It lists a whole range of changes that have been made to the game.
Welcome to another monthly update on Telepath Tactics! Today, we'll be summing up everything that happened in May. First and perhaps most importantly, I just submitted Telepath Tactics to Indiecade. Most of the past few weeks have been spent polishing the game and stamping out bugs in anticipation of that submission, but I've continued adding new content and features to the game as well.
The changes:
- There is now an exploration mode in the game! This turns off player turns and allows the player to move characters freely around the map. (This can be used to create freely explorable towns and puzzle areas.)
- There's a new dialog trigger, OnTalk, which allows player-initiated conversations (via the "Talk" command) when two particular characters are adjacent. In battle, this works just like the Talk command in Fire Emblem; and in exploration mode, it works just like talking in your standard-issue jRPG or wRPG.
- We've got a bunch of great new art assets! Both the Castle and Town tilesets have been significantly expanded by Lorne Whiting, there are a lot of item graphics in progress by Julia Buge, and there are a bunch of great new attack animations from Tyvon Thomas
Check out the link for a complete list of changes.

Sherwood in rage over fine for 'schooling' at Hereford
Trainer Oliver Sherwood feels like "packing it up" after after being fined £3,000 over the running and riding of Furrows in the novice chase at Hereford.
Irish jockey Leighton Aspell was hit with a 14-day ban, while the horse was suspended from running for 40 days after stewards felt Furrows appeared to be tenderly handled when fourth on his debut over fences to Vulcanite and beaten by almost 12 lengths.
The stewards found Sherwood guilty of schooling/conditioning the horse on the racecourse. In his defence, the Upper Lambourn man said the horse had a history of leg problems, was an average jumper at home, and suffered a nasty fall at Sandown earlier in his career.
"I'm absolutely mortified," he fumed. "I've never been accused of anything in 27 years of training. I will be appealing, I don't know how you go about it. I've spoken to the National Trainers Federation.
"I know it didn't look particularly good. My number one priority is horse welfare as the horse nearly died last year at Sandown. It was his first run over fences. The priority was to get round in one piece – I feel like packing it up."
Meanwhile, Tom Mullins is considering a trip across the Irish Sea later this month for King Of Queens. His lightly raced charge is in the shake-up for the valuable Ladbroke Hurdle at Ascot on December 22. The seven-year-old made it two from two over hurdles this season with a fine performance at Fairyhouse last Saturday.

Microsoft's E3 conference to show off Xbox integration with Windows 8
It looks like the majority of Microsoft's E3 press conference next week will focus on how the company will merge Xbox entertainment with Windows 8 devices.
"To date, our success with Xbox has been led by a box in the living room," Microsoft chief marketing officer Yusuf Mehdi wrote on the company blog. "Moving forward, Xbox will go beyond the box to reach all new families of devices."
"Just as Xbox has grown to mean more than just games, it also is more than just a console. This year, Xbox becomes the premium entertainment service for Microsoft. Whether on your PC, tablet, TV or phone, Xbox will be a gateway to the best in music and video, your favorite games and instant access to your friends. With the launch of Windows 8, we'll bring Xbox entertainment to everyone. With Xbox on Windows 8 devices, we rapidly accelerate the reach of Xbox entertainment from more than 60 million people to hundreds of millions of people worldwide."
Mehdi acknowledged Microsoft's understanding that "entertainment has become a multi-screen experience".
"We've got ideas for making all the entertainment you love more personal, interactive and social across the devices you love—and on the phenomenal Windows 8 devices that are to come."
"You'll see the first of that next week at E3 where we will showcase the very best of Xbox," he promised.
While Xbox integration with Windows 8 seems to be their primary focus, Mehdi did say Microsoft will unveil new games along with a "few surprises". We'll probably see Halo 4 and Fable: The Journey, but aside from that I'm really hoping Microsoft does surprise us - and hopefully not with more Kinect shovelware.
Microsoft's E3 press conference is set to take place on Monday, June 4 at 9:00 a.m. PT. While we'll be there taking note of everything Microsoft shows off, you can watch the conference live with Spike TV, on Xbox.com, or on Xbox LIVE.
Meanwhile, Microsoft also announced that Xbox 360 console sales have reached 67 million worldwide while generating more than $67 billion at retail.

Last month the University of Notre Dame registered as a lobbying organization for the first time. The Fighting Irish had hired outside lobbyists since 1999 at least, but this fall is the first time they employed an in-house lobbyist — John F. Sturm, former head of the Newspaper Association of America.
Notre Dame's disclosure form states that Sturm will lobby on budget and education matters in general, and under "specific lobbying issues" lists only "higher education related issues and initiatives."
One issue might be religious liberty — Notre Dame is suing the Department of Health and Human Services because the Catholic college doesn't want to be forced to pay its employees in birth control.
But it's also about federal aid. Student Nate Balmert, writing athe Irish Rover (the conservative student paper at Notre Dame) has a pretty sharp take on this matter:
As an expensive private institution the University of Notre Dame has a vested interest in maintaining government-subsidized, low interest rate loans. Loans of this nature were recently extended by both parties in Congress.
You see what's going on. Student loan subsidies don't accrue simply to students — they also make it easier for colleges to remain very expensive, thus pay administrators well and have really nice amenities.
Balmert has this point in his conclusion:
It seems strange that taxpayer-funded institutions can spend money to lobby in Washington. Lobbying is important for both research interests and public policy decisions affecting all institutions of higher education.

Janesville City Council may decide on historic preservation plan
The rules can keep neighbors from turning their homes into bars or pig farms or junkyards, for example.
It�s all the name of orderly development, safety, keeping the peace and other reasons that are supposed to be good for everyone but don�t always please everyone.
One of those reasons is historic preservation. A city�s historic buildings might be privately owned, but they�re also a part of the city�s charm and heritage. Some would argue, however, that government can go too far in telling a landowner what he can or cannot do with his own building.
That�s where the public good and private rights clash, and they�re likely to clash when the Janesville City Council meets Monday.
The council will hear public comments and then vote on a proposed historic overlay district that could restrict what downtown property owners could to when making changes to their buildings� exteriors.
The city�s historic and plan commissions don�t agree on how far the city should go.
The historic commission favors a more restrictive version. It wants to be able to tell property owners what they can do.
The plan commission in July asked the historic commission to soften the rules so the historic commission�s wishes would not be binding.
The historic commission rejected that approach and listed reasons:
-- The city�s only other historic overlay district, the Courthouse Hill District, has issued 187 certificates in its 20 years but only a few have been controversial. This shows a good track record in working with residents, the commission said.
-- The proposed overlay district includes the 145 parcels in existing historic districts and adds only about 55 more. A historic district differs from a historic overlay district in that the former makes buildings eligible for tax-credit programs and building-code variances, while the latter requires the historic commission approval for exterior building changes.
-- Landowners can appeal historic commission decisions to the plan commission or city council.
The city�s Community Development Department sides with the historic commission. At least some property owners do not. The owners of one building in the proposed district tore the building down this week, saying they didn�t want to be subject to the proposed rules.
�I understand the concerns from both sides of the issue,� said council member Tom McDonald. �On one hand we definitely want do what we can to save our historic structures in the downtown and in the city. On the other hand I�m extremely wary about taking away people�s property rights or having too much government intervention or control over people�s property rights �
�We�ve really got to balance and weigh those two factors,� McDonald said.
The council on Monday will hold a public hearing on an ordinance that establishes the district�s boundaries and could then vote on that. Council action also will follow a second public hearing on the plan, which includes rules to be applied in the district.
Council President George Brunner said the council could vote yes or no, but there�s a �good possibility� of a third option: The council could send the controversy back to the plan and historic commissions for more work.
City manager Eric Levitt favors the third option.
On the agenda
The Janesville City Council meets at 7 p.m. Monday at the Janesville Municipal Building, 18 N. Jackson St., Janesville. The agenda includes:
-- Allowing outdoor lighting and an extension of nighttime volleyball hours from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. at Sneakers Bar & Grill, 1221 Woodman Road.
-- A request to waive fees for park usage for Partners in Prevention�s annual Family Fun Fest.
-- Introduction and scheduling a public hearing for a request to annex property that includes Wedges bar/restaurant at 2006 N. County E in Janesville Township. The owners want to connect to city water and sewer after the building�s septic system failed.
-- A closed session to consider selling two undeveloped lots, at 3207 and 3201 Rockport Park Drive, to Jeremy Jorgenson, for $15,000 each.
-- Allowing Class B beer and Class C wine licenses for the Italian House restaurant, 1603 E. Racine St.

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 20 (UPI) -- U.S. District Judge Thelton Henderson issued a court order saying California corrections officers may force feed hunger-striking inmates to keep them alive.
The state argued in a filing Monday that there is a "risk that inmates may be or have been coerced into participating in the hunger strike" and they should therefor be force fed against their will to keep them alive, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Henderson said even those prisoners who signed a do not resuscitate directive may be force fed. Additionally, those who have "become incompetent to give consent or make medical decisions" may be force fed.
"It's all based on a doctor's best medical judgment at the time," said Joyce Hayhoe, a spokeswoman for the prison medical office.
Jules Lobel, who represents many of the prisoners in their lawsuit over solitary confinement conditions said force feeding "violates international law and generally accepted medical ethics" and "should only be used as a last resort. But here there are a number of reasonable alternatives."
Inmates in the California prison system have been on hunger strike since July 8 over conditions in solitary confinement. At least 69 inmates have refused food since the beginning and 67 have fasted for shorter periods of time, corrections officials said.
An report from the Times earlier in the month said there have been about 500 total participants in the protest.

Ogema teens face arson, burglary charges
Thomas Allen Mulholland, 17, and Matthew Silas Dodd, 17, both of Ogema, have been charged in Becker County Juvenile Court with three counts of first-degree arson, two counts of third-degree burglary, felony theft of a motor vehicle and misdemeanor minor consumption.
They allegedly set several structure fires, including the Aug. 18 fire of an unoccupied residence at Strawberry Lake access road.
They are also charged with an early morning fire at an empty structure on County Road 143, (about a mile from the first fire).
And they are accused of setting a 5 a.m. garage fire at 355th Street. A boat motor and trolling motor were allegedly taken from the garage prior to the fire, according to court records.
They were arrested by deputies who responded to a call from Three Bears Golf Course from owners who said several teens were apparently trying to steal an ATV. The teens put shirts over their heads to avoid identification and ran into the woods, but were later found in the area with wet shoes, torn clothing, and scratches. Mulholland allegedly admitted involvement in the arsons, and said the first one was done to cover extensive damage inside the house, according to court records.
Extended juvenile jurisdiction is being sought in both cases, meaning an adult sentence would be handed down along with the juvenile sentence, and could be imposed if the two don't remain law abiding.
Their next court appearances are Monday before Judge Jack Pearson.

- Consumers EnergyCEO
Consumers Energy, Please Invest in Clean Energy NOT Another Coal Plant!
The Health Effects
Consumers Energy's proposed power plant, which the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality recently approved an air permit for, is located within 3 miles of 47 schools and 13,219 children. According to its own Draft Permit to Install, Consumers Energy proposes to emit 64 more pounds of mercury every year for the next 50 years - this is on top of the nearly 2,000 pounds already emitted by coal-fired power plants in the state. This plant will also add 20,437 tons per year (tpy) of particulate matter or soot, 2,152 tpy of sulfur dioxide, 1,820 tpy of nitrous oxides, and more than 4,532 tpy of carbon monoxide to our air each year for 50 years.
Medical studies estimate that existing Michigan coal plant pollution already results in over 850 deaths and more than 18,500 asthma attacks each year.
See video: Dr. Ken Rosenman, Chief of MSU's Division of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, discusses the health effects of additional coal-fired plants in Michigan
The Economics
According to a September report by the Natural Resources Defense Council, Michigan can meet its energy needs through a combination of wind power, biomass, and other renewable energy sources coupled with aggressive energy efficiency programs. Among the NRDC's findings:
* Energy efficiency programs could save Michigan $3 billion in electricity costs over the next 20 years.
* Michigan's previous energy plan, written in 2007, is out of date, with unrealistic projections of future electrical demand, limited implementation of energy efficiency and renewable energy, and reliance on outdated 20th century coal technologies.
* Clean renewable energy is less expensive, cleaner, faster, more economically robust, and creates more jobs in Michigan than a 20th century plan based on new but obsolete large power plants driven by fossil fuels.
Consumers Energy
As ratepayers and concerned citizens, we strongly urge you to stop your plans to build a new unneeded coal plant in Michigan that will cost us ratepayers billions of dollars and our state thousands of clean energy jobs.
Moving beyond coal is one of the most important steps in the fight against global warming. Coal plants are major contributors to climate change, mercury contamination of our waterways and food supply, and highly destructive coal mining practices like mountaintop removal.
To benefit your customers, shareholders, and the environment, we urge you to stop your plans to build new coal plants and instead dramatically increase investments in renewable energy and increased energy efficiency. Wind and solar power, combined with energy efficiency programs, can provide clean energy to meet our needs while reducing Consumers Energy's role in the destruction of people's lives and livelihoods.
You have an opportunity to be a leader and to provide thousands of good-paying clean energy jobs for Michigan's workers. Put an end to your proposed coal plant today.

Car factory plan rolls on
Rolls-Royce has been given approval for plans to build a new assembly plant in West Sussex, creating up to 350 jobs.
Councillors in Chichester passed the scheme, which will now be considered by the Department for the Environment, Transport and the Regions.
The factory near the old Goodwood motor racing track will make 1,000 cars a year.
It is being built by the German company BMW, which is taking over the Rolls-Royce brand from Volkswagen.
To help merge in with the countryside, the plant will be partly sunk below ground level and its roof will be covered with moss.
Councillors were recommended by officials to approve the application for planning permission. They voted 33-six in favour of the move.
Rolls-Royce cars have been built at Crewe in Cheshire for 50 years.
The 2,500 workers there are to continue making Bentleys for the owners Volkswagen and their jobs are considered safe.
It is only the Rolls-Royce name which is being transferred from Volkswagen to BMW.
Goodwood will be Rolls Royce's new headquarters and will produce a new model to be launched in 2003.
The Goodwood site was chosen ahead of other locations near the M40 including Cowley in Oxford.

Do not solicit
Call them up and request to be put on their Do Not Solicit list - the larger banks (Cap One is one) should have that option and will honor it.
Something my wife used to do when we kept getting bothered to no end - though I am not necessarily suggesting this - was write "Do Not Solicit" on the offer and mail it back in their pre-paid envelope. They eventually stop because they are paying to create the documents and mail then, pay for return postage and then pay for someone to open and read the documents. :-)

Republicans lose bid to block some Democratic candidates
The Court of Appeals has refused to hear the appeal of Erie County Republicans challenging the candidacies of several non-Democrats seeking to run this year on the Democratic Party line.
The result is that William C. Conrad III will run against Republican incumbent Kevin R. Hardwick in District 4 of the County Legislature, and Alan K. Getter will challenge Republican incumbent Edward A. Rath III in District 6. The case also involved 16 candidates on the town level.
Republicans claimed Democrats had failed to postmark their authorizations allowing candidates registered with another party to run on their line by the July 15 deadline, while Democrats submitted a Postal Service affidavit pointing to post office error as the reason.
The Appellate Division rejected the GOP appeal, and the state's high court announced later that it would not hear an appeal to the original ruling of State Supreme Court Justice Henry J. Nowak. He ruled that a "timely mailing can be demonstrated absent a timely postmark."

A Capitol Heights woman pleaded guilty Tuesday to embezzling more than $140,000 from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, U.S. Attorneys announced.
Sheila Howard, 56, worked for FEMA since 1986 and took a position with the agency as a human resources specialist in June 2008. Using her access to FEMA's payroll processing system, Howard processed 28 fraudulent payments for overtime, cash bonuses and other compensation for 18 former agency employees, as well as one current employee, according to prosecutors.
Those payments were deposited in any one of four bank accounts associated with Howard, totaling $143,414.39 between Dec. 7, 2009 and March 31, 2011, according to prosecutors.
None of the employees were aware Howard was misusing their information in the scheme.
Howards sentencing is scheduled for Feb. 1. She faces a maximum of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

The Thunder have recalled DeAndre Liggins from the D-League, reports Darnell Mayberry of The Oklahoman (Twitter link). The 6'6" swingman is with the team in New Orleans for the game against the Hornets tonight.
Liggins was sent down on November 22nd, along with fellow University of Kentucky product Daniel Orton. We heard on Thursday that the team had also assigned rookie Jeremy Lamb to the D-League, so Liggins' promotion seems to be a corresponding move, since the limit on the number of players a team may have at its D-League affiliate at a single time is believed to be two.
In three games with the Tulsa 66ers, Liggins averaged 11.7 points, 8.0 rebounds and 7.0 assists in 38.7 minutes per contest. He's seen just 11 total minutes over four games with Oklahoma City this year. Liggins signed a minimum-salary deal that's partially guaranteed for $25K with the Thunder before the season, after having spent his rookie year with the Magic.

The final hostages to die in the terrorist attack on the BP joint-operated gas plant in Algeria were strapped to machinery as a huge bomb was detonated, managers at the plant said Thursday.
Western media visiting the remote plant at In Amenas for the first time heard detailed accounts of the terrifying end met by a group of eight to 10 expatriate workers.
Lufti Benadouda, the site's Algerian general manager, said there was a major explosion on the night of Thursday, Jan. 17, at the central production facility, where the hostage takers had gathered for a final stand.
Western hostages had been tied to parts of the gas construction complex, some at ground level, some a bit higher up, while the terrorists built a bomb in one of their vehicles. Many of their captors had been wearing suicide vests.
There was one big explosion and we saw the fire burning all night
"There was one big explosion and we saw the fire burning all night," said Mr. Benadouda.
"We found the hostages had been tied to the structure and put close to each other …
"The terrorists wanted a big explosion. They wanted to destroy the plant and make a big impression. They didn't destroy the plant."
"The next day we arrived at the plant," he went on. "It was my job to identify the bodies of my colleagues, but I could not, except one, an American."
Among the dead were a Norwegian, and, he thinks, a Briton. He added he saw the remains of three terrorists that suggested they had detonated suicide vests. Salim, who did not want to give his surname, recalled helping Gary Roberts, a Briton, to hide in the false ceiling of the cafeteria with a few other foreigners as they heard the first shots.
With the Algerian army, he returned the next day to retrieve Mr. Roberts, whom he said lives in Thailand.
"We have spoken, he is doing OK," Salim said.
Thursday, evidence of the carnage remained on view, with parts of the plant's infrastructure showing signs of considerable blast damage.
The attackers, who called themselves the Signatories in Blood Battalion, appeared out of the desert at dawn on Wednesday Jan. 16, and stormed through the gates of the accommodation compound. They quickly identified Mr. Benadouda as a senior figure and used him to relay messages to Algerian forces.
Having missed the initial attack, the army quickly encircled the sprawling 15-hectare facility, which is enclosed by a 3.6-metre barbed-wire fence and surrounded by sand and scrub.
At first, Mr. Benadouda said, the terrorists' mood was "quite calm," but they soon demanded the plant be restarted. It had been closed after a security guard sounded the alarm. Moments later he was shot in the head.
"After some time they realized they were not getting out alive, and they wanted to blow up the plant," he said. "They asked me to start it again, but I said it was too difficult."
His defiance may have saved the plant from much greater destruction.
Expatriates have yet to return, but 120 Algerians are preparing for the day when the plant, run by BP with Norway's Statoil and Algeria's Sonatrach, can resume producing gas with a daily average output worth US$14-million.
The attack that killed 38 foreign workers, including six Britons, has stunned Algeria, which thought it had contained the internal threat posed by al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb.
Instead, it finds itself on a new front line of the war on terrorism that spreads west to Mali, where the French intervened to quell an Islamist advance, south to Niger and east to Libya, the source of the weapons for the attack and from where it was launched.

Rock veterans Wilco recently left Nonesuch Records to start their own label, and with that comes, of course, another new Wilco release. "I Might" is the first single off it, initially available only to those who picked up a copy at the band's Solid Sound Music Festival in Massachusetts but thanks to the magic of the Internet now available here online for everyone. The band's eighth proper album, tentatively titled The Whole Love is set for a September release.
The track itself has a driving acoustic melody with a thick bass that reminds me a bit of "I Am A Wheel's" hook minus the adrenaline, but the track is about what you'd expect from Wilco at this stage in their career: enjoyable, light, dare I say happy. It may veer a bit closely towards "dad-rock" for those who didn't really enjoy Wilco (The Album) but if you like joyful Jeff Tweedy over depressed, pill-popping Jeff Tweedy, than you'll be even more excited for the upcoming record.

From the Dept. of Eager Actors: Casting has not yet been officially announced for "Hands on a Hardbody," the quirky musical project that'll have its much-anticipated world premiere at La Jolla Playhouse next month.
But Jon Rua will be a part of that cast, according to a well-placed source - namely, Rua himself.
According to a post on his website, Rua - who had an excellent turn in last fall's Old Globe production of the new play "Somewhere" - will play the role of Jesus Pena in "Hardbody."
The actor is not completely new to the Playhouse-commissioned project; he was part of a workshop version in New York last summer. Rua also originated a role in the movie-based show "Bring It On: The Musical," whose co-lyricist, Amanda Green, is the lyricist and co-composer of "Hardbody."
It's typical, though, for actors to drop in and out of developmental versions of musicals. Previous workshops of "Hardbody" also included such names as Brian D'Arcy James (a Broadway veteran and now a cast member of the NBC-TV series "Smash") and the TV/film actor Keith Carradine; there's no indication they'll be part of the final lineup that the Playhouse will announce as soon as next week.
"Hardbody" is based on the 1997 documentary film of the same name about an endurance contest once run by a Texas auto dealership. The competition required entrants to keep their hands affixed to a truck; the one who did so longest won the vehicle.
The musical's creative team makes for an unusual mix; besides Green, it includes the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Doug Wright ("I Am My Own Wife," "Grey Gardens"); director Neil Pepe of New York's Atlantic Theatre Co. (doing his first musical); choreographer Benjamin Millepied of the movie "Black Swan"; and (maybe most intriguingly) singer-guitarist and composer Trey Anastasio of the massively popular Vermont jam band Phish.
In a U-T interview last week, Wright filled in some fascinating back story on the musical project. He revealed, among other things, that when he and Green first approached the documentary's creators about acquiring rights to do a stage version, it turned out the filmmakers had never thought to have their real-life subjects sign releases.
So on Green's suggestion, she and Wright hired a private investigator in Texas to track down the contestants, 15 years after the fact. The P.I. managed to find them all. Green and Wright then visited each of those people to learn more about their stories and get their blessings for the musical. (All agreed.)
As Wright, a native Texan, puts it: Not only do the characters in "Hardbody" resemble some of the people he used to know back home, but now they actually are people he knows.

Shay to give in
Shay Given has admitted he is ready to quit international football after Euro 2012.
Last Updated: 16/06/12 11:51am
Shay Given has admitted he is ready to quit international football after Euro 2012.
Given is Republic of Ireland's most capped player with 124 caps to date, but he has now confirmed that Monday's game with Italy will likely be his last.
The Aston Villa keeper has come in for some criticism for his performances in Poland, with Ireland already out before their final group game.
"I think it might be time to step aside and let somebody else come into the side," he said.
"It's all a bit raw at the moment because we've lost an important game but at some point I'm going to have to make a decision."
Given was speaking in the aftermath of their 4-0 drubbing at the hands of Spain and he admits they have never come across a side as good before.
"I don't think any team has ripped us apart like Spain have," he continued.
"It's a credit to the way they play, the system, the way they pass and move and the mobility.
"They're a fantastic team. We said before the game that we knew what was coming. It's all very well having a gameplan but you've got to implement it and we didn't do that well enough.
"Spain are a great side, they have so much movement off the ball, pulling you one way to create space for someone else to come into.
"They're incredibly hard to defend against. I think they showed in the second half why they are the defending champions and they're going to be hard to beat again."
Not Keane
Meanwhile, Given has also hit back at former Ireland captain Roy Keane who condemned their performance at the Euros claiming they had turned up 'just for a sing-song'.
"I'm sure the fans have come for a sing-song, but the players certainly haven't. Why shouldn't the fans enjoy themselves? They've waited a long time to get to this stage," he said.
"But we certainly haven't come along for a sing-song.
"We didn't come here just to have a good time, we came here to try and get out of the group stage and progress in the competition.
"Unfortunately, we weren't good enough but you can't say we weren't trying or that we didn't take it seriously.
"Any 4-0 defeat is tough to take, no matter who the opposition are - and this hurts. They're a fantastic team, we said before the game that we knew what was coming."

I picked up this lovely little wooden vintage-inspired tool box (I call it a tool box) from Michael's for 70% off. Only problem was, it was pink. And it said "Spring" on the side of it. It was screaming out to me, "Love me, take me home." So I did.
Since I was going for more of a farmhouse feel, I decided to paint it ~ wait for it~ you guessed it, white. (I know, not a lot of surprises there.)
I also even distressed it a bit but you can't really tell from the photos.
I do love being able to fill it with jelly jars, cutlery and flowers from the yard.
Well worth the $2.00 plus paint, don't you think?

Real trading patterns and prices in spot foreign exchange markets
Most of the existing empirical literature on FX market microstructure uses indicative quote data derived from Reuters EFX Screens. This paper examines the adequacy of such data as proxies for firm, tradeable quotes. We present a comparison of prices (and volumes) derived from Reuters D2000-2 electronic inter-dealer broking system with contemporaneous data from EFX. Tick-by-tick data is available from both sources, covering October 6-10, 1997. Our main comparative results are as follows. EFX midquote returns are consistently more volatile than their D2000-2 counterparts and display strong moving average effects which are not present in the D2000-2 returns. EFX spreads bear little or no relation to the inside spreads derived from D2000-2. In terms on information flows, D2000-2 returns lead those on EFX by up to 3 minutes and, further contribute around 90% of all information impounded in quotes. A bivariate GARCH analysis also indicates a dominant role for D2000-2 in price discovery. On the positive side, however, EFX quotation frequency correlates well with D2000-2 transaction frequency.

Daily Slice gives a quick snapshot each weekday of a different slice or pie that the folks at the Serious Eats empire have enjoyed lately.
The plain slice ($2.75) at Domenick's on Allerton in the Bronx is pretty average. A prodigious amount of grease gathers on top of the mozzarella, which isn't quite as creamy as we'd like. The sauce is a bit bland and lacking bright tomato flavor. But the slightly thicker-than-average crust is bubbly and browned, with a nicely puffy end crust.
Domenick's chicken and fresh tomato slice ($4.00) is far better. It's late-night-snack greasy, but not overly so. Unlike the shriveled cutlets on most chicken pizzas, the lemony chicken bites retain quite a bit of moisture and herby flavor. The crust is crisp across the bottom but slightly doughy inside, just hefty enough to balance the toppings.

Re: Unborn Val'kyr
Just wanted to say, this is one of the reasons I actually made a profile on this site. The information I found here was helpful enough to help me catch this pet on an alt during my first scan. Not to mention it was on an alt at minimum flying speed ( it was about 3am server time but I do not think that is relevant ) I honestly thought this was a pet I was not going to be able to get considering I thought it was a raid mount, and I am not a raider or something...

It would not be legal for them to be reported for another seven years. Many mortgage companies will not issue loans if you have open collections. I guess try a "pay for delete" offer a couple more times and if it doesn't work, then just pay them so they are paid and closed. Did you try to contact the original creditor and ask them to pull the account back from collections in exchange for your payment? You may want to attempt that if you haven't yet. If you are going to pay these without a "pfd agreement" I would do it before too long because if the accounts have not updated for a while it will cause a score decrease when you pay them because they will update and look fresh, that's why I say to do it long before you are getting ready to apply for a mortgage.

More outside forces playing role in today's ag
Agriculture today is subject to more influences than ever before, both domestically and globally making the industry more challenging for those working in the field.
"Agricultural is more export dependent than ever before, and the U.S is exposed to a lot more competition than in the past," said Terry Barr, senior director for CoBank's Knowledge Exchange Division. "We see China be aggressive in grain production and the rest of the world has also moved up its grain production. I don't think we'll see that go down, which could cause a grain buildup if we get as large of a corn crop as is predicted."
Earlier this year, Woody Barth, president of the North Dakota Farmers Union, expected corn to be a popular crop in North Dakota for 2013 -- especially in the north and northwestern areas of the state.
Then, there is the demand for soybeans.
"I think they'll be a little pick up in the acreage on the soybean side," Barr said. "But we will see China go to multiple destinations around the world to get commodities like soybeans and cotton."
Barr -- whose work with CoBank's KED identifies and analyzes key industry trends, structural changes and policy initiatives that have the potential to affect agricultural markets and rural infrastructure -- said during the Sunflower Summer Seminar in Medora last month that the challenge for those working in agriculture today is that people must be prepared for changes that will occur on a global basis.
Luckily, he said, agriculture has been able to sustain itself after the 2008 financial crash that hit many industries hard.
"Agriculture has been mostly insulated from a lot of it, making it the one place that people wanted to be in during the last few years," Barr said. "That is especially true as the middle-class in both China and India grows, increasing their meat consumption. The long-term demand looks positive for our agricultural industry in those markets."
But, he said, there is still the impact of governmental influences that could play a big part in how the agricultural industry will grow in the upcoming years.
"Governments across the globe keep cutting their budgets, and if governments continue to keep cutting their budgets, it could eventually impact consumer demand," he said. "Over the next few years or so, an increase in interest rates may also change cost structures for producers."
One thing Barr could guarantee is that there will be global factors that play into the market for agricultural goods, including new energy, Mother Nature and the leadership of countries around the world.
"I assure you that we will see disruptions to the market over the next five years," he said. "Even the U.S economy is not quite on track yet either. There are a lot of issues with the economy that are unresolved, on top of issues with drought and flooding in different parts of the country."
Barr said he believes that lawmakers will eventually help bring a little more certainty back in the agricultural market by passing a farm bill.
"But I don't think it will happen without a lot of political theatre and figuring out issues with crop insurance," he said. "And that could be what tempers growth and demand for commodities in the market."
Likewise, Barr said the U.S. economy may not expand at as fast of a pace as farmers and ranchers would hope for until some other government policies become clearer, like with tax and energy policies.

The Meeting of Family
(Melissa's P.O.V.) I was deep in my thoughts, staring at the news paper in front of me.
Portgas D. Ace was set to be executed just three days from now. I also knew that Luffy
would try to do something to prevent it. I was brought out of my thoughts as the ship
jolted. "What the hell?! We just got this ship! You would think that they would be more
careful." Slamming my fist down on my desk, I made my way to the deck. Upon my arrival on
deck, everyone on deck was frozen in their place. "Miyoko, what the hell is going on?!
What the hell happened?!" I growled, my temper getting the best of me. "W..we
got plowed into
" Miyoko's voice was a little nervous, not like her. Someone almost hit
MY new ship?! "Who? Their ass is mine! We just got this ship!" I was seeing red. A
tapping on my right shoulder brought me out of my infuriated ranting. Looking behind me,
I saw Koto, she too was nervous and at a loss for words. She pointed as a response to my
question. My eyes followed her pointed finger, and what I saw was definatly not 'who' I
expected to see. Miyoko finally found her voice. "Melissa, I think we are in some deep
shit." There before us was a massive ship, with a white whale for a figurehead. The black
flag flying at the top of its mast. "The Moby Dick." We all heard some shouting of orders
and feet running around on the deck of the Whitebeard Pirates ship. A few men had leaned
over the railing of the ship to get a good look as to who had crossed their path. I knew
they had seen us, and the faces I saw didn't look to happy.
(Haven's P.O.V.) "Oyaji! A small ship has just crossed our path! We just managed to
miss hitting it." I opened one eye to see what all of this commotion was about. I was
having a nice nap, until all of this shit broke loose. Looking up at Oyaji, he seemed a
little pissed that this has happened while on our way to take back Ace. "What do you want
us to do, Oyaji?" I noticed the one making the report to Oyaji was Taku. He was the
newest edition to my division, and he was also easily worked up. It never did take much
to set him off. I felt eyes on my back. Looking over my shoulder, my green eyes met with
blue. Marco gave me a nod. Heaving an annoyed sigh, I got up. Taku was still blabbering
on about the 'damn ship' that had almost collided with us. I was beginning to get very
annoyed with it. "Taku! Shut the fuck up!" Oyaji chuckled at my shortness of temper,
however it worked, as always. The newest member of the First Division shut his mouth.
Giving the youngster a stern glare; he mumbled an apology. "Sorry, Vice Commander." Marco
came to stand on my left. I felt an arm snake it's way around my waist. I knew that Marco
was just trying to calm me down. "Taku," All eyes went to the man we saw as our father.
"Take 10 other men and see what their case is." Nodding, Taku did as told, but he
approached me before he left. "Vice Commander, I
" "Go. Do as you were told." My voice
was void of all emotion. Nodding to Marco and I he gathered 10 men from other divisions
and began to carry out Oyaji's orders. I decided I wanted to have a look at this group.
Reaching the side railing; I looked over at the ship and her crew; just as Taku and his
group went over the edge and down to the ship below. Someone on the ship caught my eye; a
young redhead. She seemed feisty and reminded me a lot of my brother. She looked up at
me, and her eyes, face, and hair
she looked just like my brother. "Ahh shit."
(Melissa P.O.V.) We are in some seriously deep shit I thought. Eleven men of
the Whitebeard Pirate crew landed on the deck of the 'Rose Bride'. I felt eyes on me, but
I didn't want to take my eyes off of the men in front of me. Looking up; I saw a woman.
She had the same bright red hair as me, but she had green eyes. She also, had two scars,
one over each eye crossing in an 'X' shaped pattern on her forehead. I felt her harsh
stare; as though she wasn't looking at me, but rather through me. She disappeared from
the side of the ship, and I my attention was directed back to the threat on board the
'Rose Bride'. "Who are you brats? Who is your captain?" Glaring at the man my temper
peeked. "I am. What do you want?" The man glared right back at me. "Do you have any clue
as to who you're dealing with kid?" I noticed the men began to circle me and my crew
like a pack of hungry wolves. I tried to keep an eye one everyone. One of the larger men
of the group made a reach for Hikari. She kicked his hand away, pissing him off in the
process. He lunged at Hikari, and I lunged at him. "Don't
MY CREW!!!" Colliding
with him was like colliding with a mountain. I tried to keep a grip on him to keep the
ass away from the others, but I was thrown towards my crew. I heard the others calling my
name; from behind me. All 11 of the men closed the circle around us. "That was a stupid
move, kid. A move you won't live to regret." I paled as he leveled his pistol with my
head. I didn't want it to end this way. I had to help Ace! No. Not like this. I want
to help get Ace back! I have to help the others end this! A loud thud on the deck of
the 'Rose Bride' caught my attention, as well as the attention of everyone else on board.
I could not believe what I was seeing. Making her way through the ring of Whitebeard
Pirates was the same red head I saw just moments before. "Haven, what are you doing,
oi?!" My eyes met with hers, and her stare was even more harsh then it was before. Her
attention went from me to her nakama, who's pistol was still trained on my head. "Vice-
Commander." I continued to watch as she walked over to the man, but it was her actions
that stunned not only me, but her own crew as well. Grabbing him by his shirt collar she
yanked him down to her level. "Don't
her." She then shoved him back. Her voice was
harsh, and unforgiving as she spoke her orders to the men. "Don't
any of them."
"But Vice-Commander
" She shot her nakama a glare; silencing him instantly. She looked
back at me; grabbing my arm, and yanking me up. "Get the captain and her crew, on the
Moby Dick. Then secure their ship to ours." I didn't understand. Why?
(Haven's P.O.V.) I watched as the young red head and her crew were escorted aboard the
Moby Dick. We had 3 days until Ace's execution, and now we had to deal with this. I
continued to study her features; as she was brought before Oyaji. A hand on my shoulder
brought me out of my thoughts. Rudy red eyes greeted me, my face still held no emotions.
"You know her." It was more of a statement then a question. "No, Isis. I don't," looking
back towards the small group now standing in front of the old man. "But I know her
family." I walked towards the group. I was already in a pissy mood due to the upcoming
events, and this was making my day a whole lot fucking better. I just took my place next
to Marco, and Isis took hers next to Vista.
"What is your name, brat?" Oyaji seemed quite pissed as to how things were
turning out. Of course, how could I blame him. "Melissa." Short and to the point, but it
wasn't the information that Oyaji was looking for. The kid held herself well, considering
her situation. Marco walked towards her, preparing to interrogate her further. "Your
crew. You're obviously pirates, oi. I remember hearing a little about you, 'Rose
Princess' Melissa." The look she gave Marco answered all of my question. Just that
'warning' look, and I knew, she was his daughter. I decided if anyone was going to be
asking this kid questions it was going to be me. Walking towards the girl; I cut Marco
off. "What the hell are you doing out here kid?" She gave me that same darting glare that
He would give if I had ever crossed the line when I was younger. Too bad for her;
it never worked. Even back then. "Don't give me that look, ya little shit. You're father
tried it on me all the time when we were kids," I leaned in close to her as I growled,
"and it never worked." Her eyes widened, as did the few members of her crew that had
heard the comment. "You know my father?!" I was about to answer her question when Grune,
Taku, and a small group of others started flapping their damn mouths. "We don't have time
for these little shits, Oyaji! We have to get to Marineford to get Ace. Not waist out
breaths on these little pains." More agreeing comments started to flow openly among the
crew. "Grune." The man in question looked at me. "I spared your life when I first met
you. Don't tempt me to rectify my decision." All chatter ceased. "Brat!" Letting out a
heavy sigh, I faced Oyaji. "You're brothers make a very valid point. Ace is our main
concern. We don't have time to waist with these little snot-nosed brat!" "SCREW YOU!" Not
once have I ever lashed out at the man who took me in as his daughter; accepted me, my
dog, and my best friend for who and what we were. Marco, as well as the others stared at
me in shock. In the year and a half that I have been a part of this crew, they have never
seen me like this. Marco, on the other hand has, and he knew damn well what was coming.
"GET THESE BRATS OFF MY SHIP! And, you
" The golden eyes of Edward Newgate stared down at
me with complete disappointment, "below deck. NOW! I will deal with you later." I had no
choice had I to make one last ditch effort to keep her safe. He would never
forgive me if I didn't, and I would never forgive myself. I made my decision just as Jozu
grabbed a hold of Melissa's upper arm. I felt my body shift, the feathers, my tail, my
wings. I would defend my family at any cost. Ace was my family by crew. This girl was my
family by blood. I let a vengeful scream rip through the air before lunging and wrapping
my talons around Jozu's head. Slamming his head to the deck. By this time Whitebeard
himself had made his way towards us. I placed myself in between my him and the young girl
I would die defending. "DON'T TOUCH MY NIECE!"
(Melissa's P.O.V.) N
niece? Did she just call me her niece? Whitebeard stopped
in his tracks, and everyone else fell silent. I looked at the massive griffin standing in
front of me, and then at the Towering captain. The look of anger and disappointment had
been replaced. Replaced by a look of understanding and acceptance. The First Division
Commander Marco the 'Phoenix' walked slowly to mythical beast. She on the other hand
still had protecting me and my crew in mind. She let out a loud screech; before walking
in a protective circle around me and my crew. Almost as to show the invisible line that
no one was to cross. "Oi. Haven, take it easy. Calm down, oi." Slowly, I watched as she
shifted back to her human form. "Haven." The way I heard Whitebeard call to the older red
head, I would have never thought that the legendary 'Strongest Man in the World' could
have such a gentle tone to him. Her green eyes darted over to me, almost as if she was
asking in her own way if we
I was ok. Nodding was the only response I could give, and she
accepted my answer. "I am sorry, child. I, we had no clue that this young one was your
niece. Please
" She looked away from him, and sighed. "We are all under a great deal of
stress right now. Our main objective is to retrieve Ace. We can settle other matters
after our objective has been accomplished." I wanted to help Ace, too. But I also wanted
to know who this woman was, and why she was calling me her niece. Walking up to her, I
cleared my throat to get her attention. Turning around it was almost like looking at a
somewhat older version of myself. "I have some question. Who are you? How do you know my
dad? And why are you calling me your niece?" I heard Koto behind me mumbling something
about too many questions. I didn't care I wanted answers. Signing, she looked me directly
in the eyes. "My name is Netsuke D. Haven. You're father, Shanks Le Roux is my older

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — President Barack Obama pronounced himself eager to go before the Democratic National Convention and the nation Thursday to share his vision for the future in a capstone speech designed not just to persuade undecided voters but to put fire in the belly of his supporters.
"I'm looking forward to laying out what's at stake in this election," Obama said in an afternoon conference call to supporters.
After a rousing warm-up act from former President Bill Clinton on Wednesday, delegates were keen to see some spirit from Obama himself.
"His job is about passion," said Minnesota delegate Roxanne Mindeman. "He's preaching to the choir, but he needs the choir to be motivated."
The president, for his part, insisted there was no excitement deficit for his re-election bid, even if it lacks some of the verve that surrounded his historic election campaign in 2008.
"There's plenty of enthusiasm out there," he said. "The issue in this election is not going to be enthusiasm."
In the lead-up to Obama's big speech, senior adviser David Plouffe cautioned that no one should expect the president to slingshot out of the convention with a huge boost in polls that have long signaled a close race.
"You're not going to see big bounces in this election," said Plouffe, previewing the president's speech on morning talk shows. He added: "For the next 61 days, it's going to remain tight as a tick."
GOP nominee Mitt Romney said he didn't plan to watch the president's address, but he weighed in from New England with some free speechmaking advice.
"What I'd like him to do is report on his promises, but there are forgotten promises and forgotten people," Romney said. "Over the last four years, the president has said he was going to create jobs for the American people and that hasn't happened."
Citing a chance of thunderstorms, convention organizers scrapped plans for Obama to speak to an enormous crowd in a 74,000-seat outdoor stadium and decided to shoehorn the event into the convention arena, which accommodates 15,000. By late afternoon, the skies were delivering a steady downpour.
That means no reprise of the massive show of support, excitement — and on-scene voter registration — from Obama's 2008 acceptance speech before 84,000 in Denver. Republicans said Democrats made the switch because they feared the sight of empty seats.
Obama spoke to some of those bumped from the guest list during the afternoon call and said campaign officials would try to get them into other campaign events before Election Day.
"I know it's disappointing," the president said. But he asked supporters not to let their energy flag.
"This is still going to be a really close election, and the other side is preparing to release just a barrage of negative ads," he said. "They are getting massive checks from wealthy donors. The good thing is, I've got you. So I really need your help, guys."
In an election in which the economy is the top issue for voters, the president got some encouraging news from new reports that the number of people seeking unemployment benefits fell by 12,000 last week and that businesses stepped up hiring last month. Next up: The August jobless report, due Friday morning.
Even as the president asks voters to stick with him, Romney and the Republicans keep nudging Obama's supporters to rethink their allegiance to a president seeking re-election in a time of weak economic growth.
The GOP nominee dropped in on a phone bank operation in Concord, N.H., where veterans in a campaign bus were calling other veterans to urge them to vote for Romney.
"We're going to make sure that veterans have jobs when they come home from Afghanistan," Romney said. The GOP nominee had been preparing for the fall debates at a private home in Vermont but headed back to his vacation home in New Hampshire on Thursday afternoon.
His party released a new ad Thursday, called "The Breakup," in which a woman tells the president: "This just isn't working ... You're not the person I thought you were. ... I think we should just be friends."
Anticipating a strong speech from the president, Republicans diminished the importance of Obama's performance in advance.
"Great speeches do not make great policy," Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, R-Fla., said at an event organized by the Republicans in Charlotte.
Among those giving warm-up speeches for the president Thursday night: Vice President Joe Biden and actress Eva Longoria.
Longoria, appearing on NBC's "Today," said she's "been in the trenches" for Obama defending his record and promised her speech will be very different from Clint Eastwood's meandering remarks to the Republicans a week earlier.
"No empty chairs," she promised, referring to Eastwood's conversation with an empty chair representing Obama.
Others adding to the celebrity quotient in Thursday's convention lineup were performers James Taylor, Marc Anthony, Mary J. Blige and the Foo Fighters. Actresses Scarlett Johansson and Kerry Washington both had speaking slots.
Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., was speaking too, and he gave voice to the Democrats' nervousness about the GOP advantage in fundraising during a morning interview on CNN, citing the dollars pouring in from Republican-leaning super PACs.
"We've got 17 angry, old, white men who are pouring in millions of dollars, carpet bombing every candidate in sight," Durbin said.
First lady Michelle Obama aimed to help the Democrats catch up, appearing at a private meeting of Obama's national finance committee. And Clinton popped out his second fundraising email in as many days.
Underscoring the importance of a turn of phrase, the president said in a TV interview that he had "regrets for my syntax" when he told a campaign crowd last month that people who had a business "didn't build that." Romney turned the president's line into a rallying cry, claiming Obama overstated the importance of government's role.1 comment on this story
But Obama said he stands by his point that the government has provided strong support to small businesses. "Everyone who was there watching knows exactly what I was saying," he said in the interview with WWBT in Norfolk, Va.
GOP running mate Paul Ryan, campaigning in Colorado, needled Obama about the phrase anew on Thursday, saying government shouldn't get the credit for business owners' achievements. He lamented "the most partisan president, the most acrimonious climate, the bitter partisan environment."
Woodward reported from Washington. Associated Press writers Ben Feller, Ken Thomas, Matt Michaels, Jim Kuhnhenn and Leo Buckle in Charlotte; Jennifer Agiesta, Jack Gillum and Josh Lederman in Washington; Kasie Hunt in New Hampshire and Thomas Beaumont and Steve Peoples in Colorado contributed to this report.

Last time Tony Romo and Mark Walker won the Adams Golf Pro-Scratch Championship, the Dallas Cowboys went on, in the following season, to their first playoff victory in over 13 years. Which, for the superstitious type, makes the latest out of TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney an encouraging bit of news prior to the 2011 season--if there is a 2011 season, we mean.
Romo and Walker won the 2011 Pro-Scratch Championship easily, shooting a 62 in the final round on Tuesday to finish at 18-under, five strokes ahead of Phillip Bleakney and Greg Boots, the second-place team.
The team of Romo and Walker is on the cusp of being a sort of dynasty with respect to the annual tournament; they won in 2009, finished second last season, and, as you've read here, took the crown once more Tuesday.
As David Moore of the Dallas Morning News points out, at the very least, this is a good indicator that Romo is at least nearing full health, after a fractured clavicle suffered in week seven against the Giants forced him to miss the rest of the season (ten games).
We imagine it's been a busy off-season for the Cowboys' starter. Aside from winning golf tournaments, he has wedding plans to tend to and, according to backup quarterback Stephen McGee, Romo and tight end Jason Witten will lead the team in organized, players-only practices during the lockout.

|Re: Alpingloin Ebay Auctions
Subject: Re: Alpingloin Ebay Auctions

Sorry to keep bumping this, but I have been forced to change my listings. I have had a few things listed with a "buy-it-now or best offer" format lately and have had two undesirable incidents in the past week alone. I had set the auctions to automatically accept best offers within 85% of the asking price and posted on the TCG forum that this was the case. Essentially, I wanted readers of this post to have 15% off my items. However, I had one person make an offer (which was accepted automatically, thus ending the auction), only to find out afterwards that his parents could not afford to pay for it. I had a second person claim to leave their ebay account open at a public library, and someone came along and purchased one of my items with their account. So in order to avoid having to relist items and file cases with ebay to be reimbursed final value fees, I have removed the "best offer" feature and am requiring immediate payment if someone chooses "buy-it-now." I do still want to extend the best offer feature to anyone on this forum. If anyone here is interested, either PM me or send a message through ebay and mention TCG. Thanks.

Dravid praises England duo
Rahul Dravid was full of praise for England's batting heroes at Old Trafford.
Last Updated: 30/08/07 11:10pm
India captain Rahul Dravid paid tribute to the batting exploits of Ravi Bopara and Stuart Broad after they led England to victory in the fourth game of the NatWest series at Old Trafford.
England, in response to India's 212 all out, were in deep trouble after losing seven wickets with just 114 runs on the board, but Bopara and Broad put on an unbeaten 99 to lead them to a remarkable win and a 3-1 series lead.
Dravid said he had no complaints about the way his side had bowled, even though they let a winning position slip away.
"It's very disappointing but you have to give credit to the two boys they played beautifully. We needed a wicket but credit to them, they played well," he told Sky Sports.
"We tried to keep getting wickets, we tried to change it round but to be fair they didn't give us a chance. Probably we were 25 runs light to start off with.
"I thought we bowled well today. It was just that one wicket at that stage that we didn't get."
