Today is Tuesday, November 21, 2017
News Release — 15 February 2010
Media contact: Kristin Sullivan, (817) 272-5364, firstname.lastname@example.com
ARLINGTON - The University of Texas at Arlington has hit a new high mark with a spring 2010 enrollment of nearly 29,000, up 19.4 percent over spring 2009. And, for the first time ever, spring enrollment has exceeded the fall number.
Among the trends:
The School of Social Work and the College of Liberal Arts also saw strong growth. Additionally, a new University Studies degree plan is helping boost University retention and giving undergraduates another path toward their college degree. A broader array of undergraduate dual credit courses is helping more high school students than ever before get a head start on their college education.
"We're becoming a regional institution of choice because of the number and quality of our programs, particularly in high-demand fields,'' said Donald R. Bobbitt, UT Arlington Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs. "Our graduates have excellent economic prospects, and that message is resonating with parents and students, particularly in light of the current economic conditions."
UT Arlington remains one of the nation's best universities for ethnic diversity, as noted by U.S. News & World Report's Best Colleges 2010. More than 16 percent of UT Arlington students are Hispanic, and 14.4 percent black - figures that reflect the University's strong recruiting and retention efforts and a desire to help Texas close the gaps between the number of whites and ethnic minorities who attain degrees in higher education.
As of Feb. 3, spring census day for Texas public higher education institutions, UT Arlington enrollment totaled 28,826. The College of Nursing accounted for the majority of the growth, with 4,136 students, up from 2,040 students in spring 2009. Several factors are fueling the dramatic increase, including the increasing demand for registered nurses and advanced practice nurses across the United States.
To meet that demand, the College of Nursing has added faculty and increased teaching capacity in the high-tech Smart Hospital. The College of Nursing also is building a network of partnerships with hospitals across the state through which nurses may earn bachelor's and master's of science in nursing degrees, giving them additional expertise and career opportunities.
"Students clearly are responding to the quality of a curriculum developed by our top-ranked nursing program," said Elizabeth Poster, dean of the UT Arlington College of Nursing. "We are committed to making our curriculum available to new nursing students and nurses returning to school across Texas and beyond through our state-of-the-science, online learning platform."
Similar hybrid learning programs have boosted enrollment in the College of Education and Health Professions, which offers graduate students the opportunity to earn a master's of education through online platforms in addition to campus-based curriculum.
The College of Education and Health Professions also is seeing increased demand in Kinesiology studies and in its Ph.D program in K-16 educational policy and leadership studies, the only such doctoral program in the nation.
Bobbitt said UT Arlington is committed to "meeting Texas students where they are."
"For many students, it's face-to-face instruction. For others, it's a hybrid, online learning environment. And for others, it's a combination of both," he said.

Hi I am in the process of validating my post data and have come to the phone number field.
I'm not quite sure how to approach this.
When I get to that part of my switch, I send it through the
intval()function. This seems to take of the 0 on the beginning of the string.
I decided to leave it as a string, and then use
settype()just before doing my database stuff.
Here is my code relating to the phone number:
I also did a bit of research and found UK landline and mobile numbers contain 11 digits, and the landlines range from 01200 up to 01997 (with the exception of around 50 which are 'not in use' (according to wikipedia)).PHP Code:
case "phone":
$num_len = strlen($value);
$errors[] = "You can only enter digits into the phone field.";
if($num_len != 11){
$errors[] = "Your telephone number must be 11 digits.";
Anyone got any suggestions on how to tackle this?
Thank you for any feedback.
Kind regards,

POLICE are investigating a customer's allegation that he was threatened by a controversial car dealer yesterday after he demanded a refund.
Hampshire Constabulary last night confirmed they were probing claims of a nuisance call made by Richard Burbage – something that the 40-year-old car dealer adamantly refutes.
It comes after this newspaper revealed Mr Burbage and Stan Rudgley are believed to be back in business, trading as Valley Cars in the same premises as a dress and lingerie store called Ophelia's Boutique in Botley Mills that belongs to Mr Burbage's wife Lorraine.
Richard Burbage
Mr Rudgley and Mr Burbage have been connected to a number of firms that closed down amid mounting fury over faulty cars they were selling.
Scores of angry customers are demanding tens of thousands of pounds from them after they claim they were sold defective cars and handed refund cheques that bounced.
Among them is Mark Randall, from Southampton, who yesterday visited the Botley store in an attempt to speak to the dealers. He told the Daily Echo he wanted to ask for a refund for money he was owed regarding his car.
After being told they were not available he left the premises and shortly after he claims he received the threats during a conversation with Mr Burbage on his mobile phone.
A Hampshire Police spokesman said last night: "I can confirm that we have an ongoing investigation into a report of nuisance communication."
Trading Standards are continuing to investigate in what has been described as one of the biggest cases of its kind for decades.
Stan Rudgley
They are dealing with complaints from at least 60 customers that centre around the activities of Hampshire Vehicle Sales and Woolston Car Supermarket in Hazel Road.
Mr Burbage last night strongly refuted the allegations and insisted he did not make any threats. He said: "I have not spoken to the guy, I have not spoken to anyone."

Well, changed the default WM to gnome and then restarted.
Logged in and up comes gnome. Went back to the login
screen and chose kde from the menu. Clicked on "Go", and...
up comes gnome.........sigh.
So, no matter what default WM I choose in susewm, it will be
the ONLY WM I can start from the graphical login screen.
It did not used to be this way and I don't know how I broke it.
Any idea what config file to fix? SuSE guys - any help?

Sorry, don't know about config settings being saved. I would guess that
htey would be.
It probably is in your .kderc (?) file or .gnomerc. I know my .fvwm2rc
is unchanged if I run kde or gnome.
To avoid all these problems I use plain old fvwm2, the time I save on
window manager config problems more than makes up for the clunkiness
of fvwm2. :-)

A judge on Tuesday ordered that the 14-month-old sibling of two boys who authorities say were drowned last month by their father remain in foster care.
The father, Naim Rasool Muhammad, 32, remains in the Dallas County Jail on bail totaling $2.1 million. He is charged with two counts of capital murder and probation violation on an aggravated assault case.
Police say Muhammad confessed to drowning his sons, Naim, 5, and Elijah, 3, in a Glenn Heights creek Aug. 22. Authorities say he also tried to abduct the 14-month-old child but a relative stopped him and the boy was unharmed.
The toddler's mother, Kametra Sampson, appeared in court at Tuesday's brief hearing before Associate Judge Graciela Olvera. Although the hearing was open to the public, all the testimony occurred quietly at the judge's bench and out of earshot of spectators. Sampson declined to talk to reporters after the meeting.
"She's still mourning and grieving the death of her children," Sampson's attorney, Linda Sorrells, said later. "If people want to pray for her family, that would be appreciated."
Child Protective Services spokeswoman Marissa Gonzales said an agreement was reached to allow Sampson to continue supervised visitation with her son. Officials are looking for a relative who might be able to care for the child, Gonzales said.
"We will continue working with the mom and the family going forward," Gonzales said, adding that the judge will decide if the mother will be able to regain custody of the child.

Dickinson man injured, oil spills in semi rollover
A Dickinson man was injured when the semi he was using to haul a tank trailer of crude oil rolled over Monday on a Mercer County highway.
According to the North Dakota Highway Patrol, Gary A. Casper, of Dickinson, was driving northbound around 1 p.m. CDT on Highway 49 in a white 2012 Kenworth truck with an attached 2012 Dragon tank trailer loaded with crude oil and owned by Southern Energy Transportation when he attempted to slow down for an enclosed straight truck ahead of him that was making a left-hand turn onto County Road 25.
Casper swerved to the left to avoid a rear-end collision and his vehicle entered the west ditch, crossed County Road 25 and rolled over in the north ditch of County Road 25.
Casper was transported by the Mercer County Ambulance to Sakakawea Medical Center in Hazen with unspecified injuries.
An unknown amount of crude oil spilled out of the top of the trailer as a result of the accident. Beulah and Hazen fire departments dammed up the leaking crude oil to avoid contamination of a nearby stream and pond.
The North Dakota Highway Patrol and the Mercer County Sheriff's Department responded to the accident.

Jat quota stir: 14 held for rioting, damaging property
Chandigarh: Fourteen people were arrested from Jind district yesterday for allegedly damaging government property and indulging in rioting during the Jat agitation. "We have arrested 14 people for rioting and damaging government properties during the Jat agitation," Jind SP Abhishek Jorwel said.

Nine persons were arrested from Uchana, three from Julana and one each from Safidon and Sadar Jind, he said. However, no fresh complaint was received by the team of three women officers set up to go into alleged incidents of rape and molestation of several women by Jat protesters near
Murthal. "We have not received any complaint today," DIG (Haryana Police) Rajshree Singh said. A woman had registered a case of gangrape against seven people on Monday, including her brother-in-law, in
connection with the incident at Murthal's women police station.
'Initiate judicial probe'
Congress member Kumari Selja yesterday sought a judicial inquiry into the reports of rape of several women in Haryana during the Jat agitation. Raising the issue during Zero Hour in Rajya Sabha, she said there is 'jungle raj' in Haryana and the government has been a 'mute spectator' to the large-scale violence during the agitation in the state.
Power dues waived off
The Haryana government yesterday waived electricity dues of those consumers whose properties were damaged during Jat quota agitation. Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar said, "Electricity dues for the current and next billing cycles will be exempted for the consumers whose houses or commercial properties have been damaged or looted during the agitation throughout the state from February 15 to 22, 2016."

XIU XIU - Yellow Rasberry Lyrics
No one will eat him
a yellow raspberry
perched on top of the thorn bush
up high and ugly
up high and weird
this minute 20 years ago
your hair looked just as bad
talking nonstop to a little rubber pixie
what has changed when you tell
your doll hello?
more indignant, less recognizable
you became a bag lady's son
beating off nonstop
to the escort pages
what has changed when you tell
the cross hello?
you left with some money
more self righteous, less hopeful
up high and ugly up high and ZORP
this minute 20 seconds ago
your face looks just as dumb
singing nonsense to your voice mail
what has changed as you tell
your cactus hello?
more fixated, less relief
you became a faggot
dressed like a bunny
beating off nonstop
to the escort pages
what has changed as you tell
the mirror hello?
(Thanks to Judit for these lyrics)

Shakira has become a member of US President Barack Obama's Advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanics.
Shakira has joined US President Barack Obama's education advisory board.
The Colombian popstar was praised by Obama after he made her a member of his Advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanics along with community activist Adrian Pedroza and Arizona's School District Superintendent Kent P. Scribner.
At a ceremony in Washington today (06.10.11), he said: "I am grateful that these impressive individuals have chosen to dedicate their talents to serving the American people at this important time for our country. I look forward to working with them in the months and years ahead."
This is not Shakira's only charitable endeavour, she is involved with educational issues in her homeland through her Barefoot Foundation, and has worked to ensure students in Haiti and South Africa have access to nutritious meals as well as educational and psychological support services.
The commission has been active since May. The addition of Shakira comes as the president - who earlier this year met with stars including Eva Longoria and Rosario Dawson - Steps up outreach to the Hispanic community and its celebrities.
The filmmakers behind Tangled and Wreck-it Ralph join forces for this entertaining animated action comedy,...

Jason Kidd made the quickest transition possible from NBA player to coach, as the surefire Hall of Famer rejoined the team he took to the NBA Finals in back to back seasons. Going back a bit further into Kidd's playing career, we see the first shoe he had while playing for the Phoenix Suns once again released in the AP market, as the Nike Zoom Uptempo V Premium hits the scene with a white, black, grey and pink colorway. It's a striking colorway without too many direct analogs in the Nike Basketball or Sportswear catalogs, so how do they compare to the various 'Think Pink' releases? Let us know what you think and take a closer look at these after the jump because unless you have the right connections, that's the closest you're likely to be to seeing these in person.

The relationship between the commercial cinema and home movie-watching (and later home theater) experience has been a Red Queen's race for decades now. Widescreen movies were Hollywood's first attempt to offer something in cinemas that couldn't be replicated in the living room. Then came 3D, surround sound, 3D again… you get the picture. But one cinematic innovation that still hasn't made its way into the home is Dolby Atmos, a sound system that opens up a whole new aural world for filmmakers who felt limited by the 2D plane of sound found in conventional 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound systems. Atmos is unique in that it not only contains the standard left, right, center, surround, and height channels, but adds ceiling speakers to the mix to deliver a full 360 degrees of audio via up to 62.2 channels.
And if you're lucky enough to have seen Alfonso Cuarón's Gravity in Dolby Atmos, you know that it's an extremely experimental film in nearly every way, including its use of that extra dimension of sound.
Cuaron explains in the video below how Atmos freed him up to create his ideal experience for Gravity. In the soundless environment of space, he chose to instead use the score to explain the world, and when that world is spinning around out of control, the dizzying array of sound spins with it.
So how long before we can experience Gravity like this at home? It's actually an iffy maybe as to whether or not we will in the foreseeable future at all. There are certainly people who want it, but aside from DTS's experiment with Expendables 2, we haven't seen a lot of motion in the upward direction with home video release soundtracks. The big problem is that while 5.1- and 7.2-channel sound systems are so easy to set up that virtually anyone with a den or living room can do it (not properly, mind you, but that's another story), when you add at least another seven speakers to that mix (14.2 would be the minimum number of channels required to bring Gravity's Atmos mix home properly), and consider that some of them either have to be mounted on or in the ceiling, it's safe to assume that Atmos Home would be a largely custom-installed affair.
And then there's the problem of amplification. Most receivers capable of 11.2-channel processing actually only contain nine channels of amplification, and they're absolute beasts. Can you imagine how big your average 14.2-channel receiver would be? (You can look at Yamaha's MX-A5000BL AVENTAGE 11-Channel Power Amplifier and extrapolate from there). For now, at least, it seems that the select few cinemas with Dolby Atmos installed have the advantage when it comes to films like Gravity.

Celtics Rebound to Defeat Knicks: 96-82October 10, 2009
Fifty-four times to be exact...rebound that is.
The Celtics' defense looked better than their offense tonight as you can tell that they are still getting comfortable with each other on the scoring end of the court.
They held the Knicks to eight first quarter points on 3-of-22 shooting and never relinquished the lead.
Kendrick Perkins was supposed to be the defensive force, which he was, but he also came out offensive minded, scoring seven first quarter points, mostly against David Lee, to lead the team. Putting that little jump shot to good use, KP finished 5-of-7 overall for 14 points and game honors.
Perkins was so good that an alley oop meant for Garnett went right in. It was a good thing, as I don't think KG would have converted it otherwise.
The Rasheed Wallace show debuted as a Celtic. He rained three pointers, unpacked a few post moves, led the game in rebounding with 12, played with starters and the second unit., and finished with 13 points to tie with Ray Allen for second honors on the team.
How did Rasheed described his game?
It was okay. Mediocre. You know just trying to do things defensively. I'm not worried about no offense, you know, because shots will fall. Even though I missed my first few, that's alright.
Kevin Garnett
The Kevin Garnett watch will be on for a while. He looked okay tonight, except he got kicked in the calf at one point. He finished with 10 points on 4-of-8 shooting, and 8 rebounds. His 18-foot jumper is still there. He looks okay but not very smooth on the court yet.
Yeah, he (Jared Jeffries, I think) kicked me in the calf. That didn't help things. A little hot pack and some ice. I thought I finished the game pretty well.
The Knee
"No, I'm not back to where I want to be. But I don't have any worries when I go out and play. You know, I'm putting in the time. I'm putting in the work, and I'm doing everything they ask me to do, and then some.And on top of things, I'm just getting stronger. It's about time and duration at this point. I'm not even thinking about (my knee). "
This should be a headline...Ray Allen missed three foul shots...in the first quarter. I don't know when that last happened. Maybe high school.
Ray was active all night, and handled bringing the ball up court at times. He had six first quarter points to go with two steals and two rebounds.
Rajon Rondo had trouble with fouls all night. Doc kept him in there with 5 fouls at one point, but put Lester Hudson in with him and Paul Pierce brought the ball up. Rondo finished with 6 points, 3 assists and 2 steals.
He looked for his jump shot early and missed a wide open "dare" three pointer. Over all, he was active defensively, and the team was +16 when he was in the game.
Paul Pierce's shooting rhythm was off early, starting 1-7, but he finished 4 of 12 for 9 points including an emphatic, crowd pleasing reverse dunk off a pass from Garnett .
Oh man. I don't know where that came from.You know, I'm good for one of those like every 20 games. So about four times a year. My legs feel fresh right now, feel pretty good. Trying to get the fans into it.
Thanks to Brian Scalabrine's 3-for-4 from downtown, the Celtics shot as well from the arc (42.9% on 9 of 21) as from the field generally (43.9%).
Playing more around the middle with Rasheed on the team, Glen Davis had a productive game in 16 minutes, scoring 7 points to go with 8 rebounds, and a block.
Marquis Daniels was quiet offensively shooting just 1-of-5 but looked comfortable out there for the most part. There were times when he and Rasheed weren't quite sure what to do with ball and ended up with difficult last second shot clock attempts. That will improve with time.
Both teams ended up with 9 steals and 18 turnovers. The Celtics held the Knicks to 37.7 percent shooting and the Knicks shot just 5 for 31 from the three point line, some of them were wide open looks. David Lee played center and was in foul trouble from early on, but finished with 13 points and 6 rebounds in 27 minutes.
So the Celtics generally looked pretty good, especially defensively. Brian Scalabrine was not used at the three tonight and he was more effective filling the same role he did last season, drilling the open three and playing the power forward.
But until Bill Walker returns, Scal may be asked to slide over to the small forward position from time to time, he said, especially in practice.
Dov Rivers on the value of Rasheed Wallace...
He just spreads the floor and he has a post game. And he's a terrific passer, too, so he does a lot for us, obviously.g Gives great spacing for our team.
I did get a lot out of…the starters got a lot of minutes and good rhythm and they handled it very well.
So far things are looking good getting Wallace and Daniels folded into the team. Doc said they are going with a greatly simplified playbook right now and are just letting the veterans play fundamental basketball with about five different offensive sets (which each have variations). The starting five will come together soon enough.

Hello, friends!
Spring is here and I lie here typing from a horizontal position because I have survived (barely) the Smithsonian Museum field trip for the second grade. Yellow school buses, picnic sack lunches and 8-year-old girls squealing and laughing at every single thing have worn me out. I deserve a reward and I've got one on my Kindle and I can't wait to read it. Covet Thy Neighbor by L.A. Witt is my prize, and I'll tell you all about it next week!
A hot Russian prince, and undercover agent, a missing casino hostess and Atlantic City — all the ingredients you need for a sexy, intriguing story of murder, Mob and making love. The trailer for Caridad Piñeiro's book The Prince's Gamble has the feel of a full-length movie with a great soundtrack and images that take you deep into the heart of this romantic suspense. And all of Caridad's proceeds will be donated to the Hurricane Sandy New Jersey Relief Fund! A winner all around.
"I dare you to break curfew" is the last line in the trailer for Kate Evangelista's paranormal YA trailer for her book Taste. Through the captivating script and images, you learn that the heroine has broken curfew — a fatal error — and fallen into a dangerous world of flesh eaters. She is also torn between her attraction for two young men — one light and one dark — who test her heart as well as her mind. The wonderful song Hunger// was written specifically for this book by Noelle Pico and adds a haunting edge to the video.
Dear Cassie by Lisa Burstein is a poignant YA about a young woman who has made mistakes and is trying to pick herself up and move on. The simplicity of this story, the raw edge with a mysterious twist that is the script and the driving rhythm of the soundtrack song (by Fiona Apple — excellent choice) all tie this up and compel you to pick up the book.
Remember: You can refer book trailers for a feature spot in the column. They need to be romances (any genre is OK), and I will take a look. You can send your suggestions to email@example.com.
See you next Thursday!

By Philip Baillie
LONDON — British Prime Minister David Cameron has criticized comments made by "Top Gear" television show presenter Jeremy Clarkson after he said the country's striking public sector workers should be "shot in front of their families."
Clarkson, whose mocking personality helped make the Top Gear automobile show a popular broadcast around the world, was speaking on Wednesday as state workers like nurses, teachers and civil servants were staging a 24-hour strike against government plans to make them pay more and work longer for their pensions.
"I'd have them all shot," the 51-year-old said on the BBC's prime-time One Show."I would take them outside and execute them in front of their families," he added. "I mean how dare they go on strike when they have got these gilt-edged pensions that are going to be guaranteed while the rest of us have to work for a living?"
After a media furore, Clarkson apologized on Thursday for his comments, while a BBC spokesman noted the One Show had apologized at the end of the show to viewers who may have been offended.
"I didn't for a moment intend these remarks to be taken seriously — as I believe is clear if they're seen in context. If the BBC and I have caused any offence, I'm quite happy to apologize for it alongside them," Clarkson said in comments carried by BBC news.
Cameron who is a friend of the presenter, said on the ITV's Good Morning program the comments were a "silly thing to say".
"I'm sure he didn't mean it," he added.
Unison, the public service trade union, initially said it would consider taking legal action against the presenter over his "appalling" comments, but later welcomed Clarkson's apology and dropped plans for litigation and calls for his resignation.
"We are pleased Jeremy Clarkson has seen the error of his ways. It is only right the he apologizes for the huge offence he caused to public sector workers and their families," said Dave Prentis, UNISON General Secretary, in a statement.
"We would like to invite him to spend a day on a hospital ward, with one of our health-care assistants. They do vital work caring for patients – cleaning up sick, bathing patients, and wiping bottoms. We think he has many of the personal skills necessary for the job," he added.
Unions estimated more than 2 million public sector workers in the UK went on strike over changes to their pensions on Wednesday, though polls showed not all Britons supported them.
Critics of the strike say state pensions compare very favourably with those in the private sector and that public workers should share the pain of belt-tightening measures.
Columnist James Delingpole wrote in right-leaning British newspaper the Telegraph that Clarkson's critics should be "taken out and shot" for castigating the broadcaster over the employment of an acceptable and commonly used figure of speech.
"For at least the last fifty years 'they should be taken out and shot,' has been a socially acceptable, perfectly unexceptionable way of expressing colourfully and vehemently one's distaste towards a particular category of unpleasantness, be it striking Unison workers, revolting students, poorly performing members of your football team or the Lib Dem members of Cameron's cabinet. Context is all," Delingpole wrote.
Clarkson is known for his outspokenness. He aroused public anger over comments about former Prime Minister Gordon Brown's partial blindness and over an article in which he said the Welsh language should be abolished.
In February, he was at the centre of a diplomatic row after making offensive remarks about Mexico, suggesting the country didn't have an Olympic team, "because anyone who can run jump or swim is already across the (U.S.) border."

You all may remember Josh Gross' hamfisted attack against Dana White in the wake of the Sean Sherk / Hermes Franca steroid debacle. It seems so long ago … I'm actually surprised that it was a meer two and a half weeks ago. Well, one thing worth noting is that since that article hit the front page of Sherdog.com, there hasn't been one UFC fighter interviewed on any of Sherdog's many radio shows. In fact, the only Zuffa-signed fighters to appear on the Sherdog Radio network since July 20th have been WEC fighters Jeff Curran and Tiki Ghosn.
So this begs the question: has Dana White officially asked his fighters not to interact with Sherdog any more? While I doubt there's a mandate carved in stone (yet), it wouldn't surprise me to hear that Dana has sent word to his fighters 'requesting' they not support his "mortal enemies".
Only time will tell, and this may merely be because no fucking UFC events = no UFC guests. But still … two and a half weeks with no UFC guys on any of the Sherdog radio shows? And I thought our radio show was having troubles!

Sean is meeting real celebrities, producers and executives... but, others from the Bachelor have done DWTS, and didn't get careers in Hollywood. I think Sean will likely just briefly extend his fifteen minutes of fame.

Sean is meeting real celebrities, producers and executives... but, others from the Bachelor have done DWTS, and didn't get careers in Hollywood. I think Sean will likely just briefly extend his fifteen minutes of fame.
It's pretty funny how we get aggravated about reality "stars" doing this show and forget that the VERY FIRST SEASON DWTS featured none other than Trista Rhen Sutter (of Bachelor and Bachelorette noteriety) as a first contestant. Interestingly, no one said "Boo!" about it then. It was no big deal.
Yes, it would be fun to watch Brad Pitt, Diane Sawyer and Ryan Gossling on DWTS, but that just "ain't happening," so I guess we have to be satisfied with the people they give us. Many of the contestants are people that I've never heard of before. As the season progresses, I find people to root for as I enjoy their progression in dance and what they have learned from the experience. I like seeing how they cope wth being thrown into unfamiliar circumstances. They don't have to be famous for me to appreciate and enjoy them.
As far as being a diva, I think he truth will come out, one way or the other. I doubt it's true, but if it is, the show can throw him under the bus quickly, if they choose. (Remember Jake? They didn't sugar coat him, even though he had been on the same network's reality show.) And to make one more point, the reality show that he was previously on has a way of making people feel strongly about the lead. Some start out popular with fans and soon become the guy most everyone bashes and hates by the end. Sean started out, in my mind, one of the less popular leads. By the end of the show, he had won many people over and the ratings for his season were quite high. It seems unlikely that a diva would be able to accomplish that. Plus the host of his reality show has been known to throw ut snarky comments about the lead in his blog, when he chooses. None of that ever came out with Sean. So for now, I'm going with "innocent till proven guilty."
And as far as Sean making a fool of himself, if they offered me the kind of money he is rumored to receive for this short experience - which is more than I earn in a YEAR - I'd gladly risk "making a fool of myself" while laughing all the way to the bank.
I'm sorry, I don't get it. When there is someone on this show who has dance experience we get lots of complaints about ringers. Now that there is someone with no dance experience, there are complaints about a lack of dignity? Wow, just wow.
That's exactly the point of these rumors ... there are huge fans and then there are some like me who has never really cared for Sean ... but at this point have been somewhat positively impressed, and then there are those who don't know who he is. "They" are trying to turn folks like all of us against him and keep us from voting for him.Quote:
ness said:
In the meantime, I myself plan to keep on watching and rooting for him to see how far he can go and improve from his foxtrot debut, which I liked.
Remember ... right now there are some viewer votes "in the bank" for Sean (perhaps a lot) and there will be more from tonight, so maybe someone is trying to facilitate a decrease?
Hey ... maybe that's why Ryan Gossling is taking a break .... so he can go on DWTS, :roflQuote:
Yes, it would be fun to watch Brad Pitt, Diane Sawyer and Ryan Gossling on DWTS, but that just "ain't happening,"
Who actually does the dance assignments? The producers?

We are getting into some cool weather now, perfect for running. This column will share a good alternative to the usual "more is better" training philosophy of running and highlight a couple of the best upcoming races in the area.
In a perfect world you would run with gazelle-like grace, fluid strides, propelling you effortlessly while your well-formed physique speeds down the path in perfect symmetry and alignment. You are smooth, strong, and as flexible as an Olympic gymnast. You run more miles per week than many people drive, yet training injuries are things that happen only to other people.
In the real world, our physiques, well-formed or not, are usually not in perfect biomechanical alignment and there is some imperfection in our muscle groups. Most of us will experience an overuse injury at weekly mileage totals well shy of triple digits. There is a definite correlation between the number of miles run per week and injury rates. Nothing will ruin your fitness or ability to achieve a fitness goal faster than having to take time off due to an injury. If you find that weekly mileage in your current running plan has you on the injured reserve list too often, or if you just want to include more variety in your fitness training, I have a plan worth considering.
The good folks at the Furman Institute of Running and Scientific Training, or FIRST, have found that three days a week of quality running is enough to not only run well, but perhaps even better than with more frequency. Their training program also includes cross-training two or three days a week (swimming, cycling, rowing, elliptical training for example.) While you may be running only three days a week on the FIRST program, the "quality" part means that the intensity of those runs is north of a pleasure cruise, though still south of the "kill me now" exertion level.
The three workouts are specifically an interval workout day, typically done on a track or measured course, a tempo day, and a long run day. You can pick any three days that fit your schedule as long as there is always at least one day in between the running days. The cross training or rest days are in between the running days to let your legs recover while still enhancing your cardiovascular fitness.
There are FIRST programs for distances from the 5K to the marathon, but even the marathon programs keep you below the mid-30s in your weekly totals. The pace of each workout is specific and directly tied to your most recent 5K race pace. The FIRST marathon study following real people, both first time and experienced marathoners, resulted in very good race performances and an injury rate several times less than expected for this distance.
By "good performance" I mean that the runners were recording personal records or, at least, better than recent marathon performances. If this sounds like a plan that would work well in your life then check out the details at the Furman Web site: www.furman.edu/first/fmtp.htm. The origins of the program and details of their original marathon study were found in the August 2005 issue of Runners World.
November brings two great runs whether your goal is fun, fitness or, hopefully, both. If you want to raise the fun factor in your running, head down to an old fashioned cross-country 5K, right here in Clay County, the Hog Jog 5K & One Mile Fun Run at Ronnie Van Zant Park on Saturday, Nov. 11, at 9 a.m. Van Zant Park is located just south of Lake Asbury. Detailed directions and all the registration information is at www.FloridaStriders.com or call race director Steve Bruce at 728-7759. You will park among the pine and oak trees and your feet will not touch asphalt during the entire event. You will pick up your race packet from the friendly volunteer but there will be no need to stop by and pick up or strap on your ChampionChip as they won't be used. Not to worry, a big digital clock will proudly proclaim your finish time after two scenic laps about the lake path. You will be provided with a finish place card, just like back in the "good old" days before computers timed each event. The awards are guaranteed to commemorate the "Hog Jog" and have a long tradition of being unique and sentimental favorites of the winners. Even the 9 a.m. starting time is kinder and gentler than most morning races. If anyone in the family wants to take part in a scenic and free One Mile Fun Run at 10 a.m. you will be treated to a finisher award to acknowledge your accomplishment.
A Thanksgiving tradition for many area runners is the Outback Distance Classic Half Marathon on Nov. 23 at 8 a.m. on San Jose Boulevard. If the "less is more" philosophy works for you then there is also a 6K event at the same location (and will let you get to the Thanksgiving feast sooner). Whether you enjoy the 6K or the half-marathon, you will have started your holiday on a healthy note and can then enjoy some dining decadence the rest of the day without guilt. Race details can be found at www.1stPlaceSports.com or at 731-1900.
Your questions and comments about running in the area or this column are always welcome at 272-1770 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Edit Article
wikiHow to Make Glazed Apples
Two Methods:Skillet versionMicrowave versionCommunity Q&A
Glazed apples are a delicious way to present apples for dessert or as a supper treat. You can either make them using a skillet or in the microwave, depending on your preference––this article offers both choices.
Servings: Approximately 4
Skillet version:
- 4 large apples (Granny Smiths are a good choice), cored and cut into thin rings
- 1/2 cup apple juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon ginger, ground (if preferred, use thinly minced fresh ginger)
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
- 1/4 cup butter or preferred fat
- 1/2 cup raw or brown sugar
- Whipped cream (optional)
Microwave version:
- 4 green cooking apples
- 2 tablespoons sultanas
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 30g/1 oz butter, cut into four even pieces
- 1 tablespoon golden syrup (this syrup can be substituted with honey, corn syrup or similar syrup, or you can make your own sugar syrup)
- 2 tablespoons water
- Whipped cream (your choice)
Skillet version
1In a small bowl, mix together the juice, ginger and cinnamon.
2Melt the butter in the skillet over medium heat.
3Add the apple rings, in batches. Cook until each side is browned and remove each browned batch and set aside.
4When all of the apple rings have been cooked, place all of them back in the skillet. Pour the juice mixture over the top, then sprinkle with sugar.
5Place a lid over the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes over medium heat or until the apples appear softened and glazed.
6Serve. These are perfect on their own but if you love ice cream or whipped cream, these make great additions.
Microwave version
1Carefully cut the core from the apples. Leave the bases intact.
2Peel a thin strip of skin from around the center of the apple.
3Mix sultanas, brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.
4Press this mixture firmly into the center holes in the apples.
5Put a dab of butter on top of each apple.
6Put the apples in a microwave-safe baking dish. Add the golden syrup and water.
7Cook in the microwave on high for 5 minutes.
8Remove the apples from the microwave and pour the melted syrup over the apples. Do this carefully, as it will now be very hot.
9Return to the microwave. Cook on high for 5 minutes.

Hands down, it's Gelato Benissimo. Light & fluffy, flavorful and handmade daily--I love it! The gelato is made from organic milk. Flavors range from stracciatella, vanilla, mint chip, cappuchino, lavender, to strawberry, passionfruit, and guava. Yum. Different flavors every day, depending on what's in season/available. 328 Montezuma Ave, Santa Fe, NM 87501 (505) 984-9104. It is kind of hidden from the street, behind Fatso (bar, I think). The place is a gem & I think it would be more popular if it weren't so hidden. Regulars frequent it, though.
By the way, I went to Ecco Espresso & Gelato from other reviews & it was horrible. Super sweet and not much flavor. I was rather disappointed. I have been very selective about my gelato since I've traveled to Italy.

LARNED — There is a lot of talk by the "smarties" as to whether or not the Wichita State Shockers should get a No. 1 seed in the upcoming NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament.
Of course they should.
In fact, give them the overall No. 1 seed.
The most often heard criticism of Wichita State is "they don't play anybody."
Hey, they played, and beat, everybody on their schedule.
If the "name" schools and conferences are unwilling to travel to Wichita you cannot use that against them.
Besides, the Missouri Valley Conference IS NOT a weak basketball conference. It is ...

text: I posted this in the All Things Root forum as well, but I don;t think it is a root issue so I am going to post it here too... After the Verizon Froyo update screwed up my phone, I downgraded, rooted and installed the Virtuous v2.6 ROM. Phone works great now except for one thing and I am not sure if it is a google contacts problem or because I rooted the phone. My GTalk doesn't work right. I can send messages and the other person will receive them but I cannot receive any messages. I have removed contacts and reinvited them and have had my friends do the same. I can get the invite OK but no messages. I can't figure it out. I thought it might have something to do with my contacts. After rooting and installing the custom ROM, I accidentally deleted my user info/backup on my SD card so I had to reinstall all my apps and data, which is OK with me. I did an HTC Sync with my Outlook and imported all my contacts. I then tried to sync with Gmail contacts but the contacts would not sync. I got a red ! and an error that says "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly". I can sync Gmail and the Google Calendar fine. since I wasn't able to sync my Gmail contacts, I went to Gmail and deleted ALL my contacts there and I still couldnt sync. BUT- I did notice that all my GTalk contacts disappeared except for a few... So I deleted them as well and exported my contacts from Outlook to a CVS file and imported them to Gmail. The GTalk contacts did not reappear. On my phone, only a few GTalk contacts were there but I couldn't talk to them. I really don't think it is the root and ROM but I don't know. Can anyone help please? I have a HTC Incredible Jim

Pretoria - An irate director in the Tshwane metro police apparently threatened to have her own officials locked up during a bizarre incident on Wednesday.This resulted in Tshwane confiscating its own motorcycles on Wednesday morning.The drama played out at the municipality's Rondalia building in the Pretoria CBD when Pinkie Mathabathe "cracked down" on Tshwane's motorcycle task team.It was apparently the officials' firearm licences, which expired at the end of last year and have not since been renewed, which led to the incident.According to legislation, metro police officials may not serve without a legal firearm.Tongue-lashingMathabathe, who acted as Tshwane's interim chief for community safety for a while last year, reportedly went on a mission against the 11 officials at this building."She gave us quite the tongue lashing, told us we're too lazy to work and threatened to have us locked up," one of the officials involved told Beeld confidentially.He and his colleagues apparently tried in vain in December to get appointments at Tshwane's Premos training college, where the licences are renewed annually."We have to work, but we can't do so without licences. What do they expect from us?"Mathabathe ordered that the officials' motorcycles be confiscated and they were loaded onto a trailer."She also threatened to disband the unit and now we don't have motorcycles. There's a great amount of uncertainty."UnacceptableMathabathe summarily dismissed Beeld on Wednesday afternoon when asked for comment by saying she's in a meeting."Call me later," she said. She could not be reached again.William Baloyi, metro police spokesperson, did not respond to a message.Karen Meyer, the DA's spokesperson for community safety in Tshwane, said the situation is unacceptable since the public pays these officials' salaries."The DA can't take exception to Mathabathe's behaviour. The question is who was responsible for seeing to it that the licences were renewed on time?"Officials who are stranded at work are badly managed," Meyer said.
Someone once told me that the workers only work or rather are as good as their managers are. He turned out to be correct.
Stupid, you must abide to the rules and regulations two wrongs is not equal to right. Failure to comply with safety measures at work is a dismissible offence. What do you think if you work without a fire arm in this crime haven province? Do you want to charge somebody with an unlicensed fire arm when yours too is not licenced? IDIOT
James you tosser - the British police work without firearms, why can't ours? Smaal - reckon you hit the nail on the head! These blokes ate only reflecting the rot that starts at the top with old stinkie pinkie!
Well this says it all!!
The police weren't told there gun licences
had expired?
SAA didn't realise two of there planes
leases had expired?
Hey maybe thats why our country is going
to the dogs, somebody forgot to tell all our
politicians that there brain cells have expired.
Well done Mathabathe
They want drivers to drive with licences and with car that have valid registrations discs yet they fail to comply with their safety measures. They should be fired because they are setting a really bad presidency. They should be setting a good example to the community. Police must understand that the community is its customers that need to be treated with professionalism. They must be fired!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The issue has to do with firearm licences and NOT with vehicle licenses. There is no logic in your statement.
This is what you will get an expct when the country is runne by a bunch of clowns, and ass Holes!! Now this is so funny this story now i carry on, on my bony speeding cutting throw cars and breaking traffic law's there goes the only hope that could have cought me.
Confiscated bikes because task teams's firearm licences had expired...... Did i miss somthing now? There is nothing right in the left brain and nothing left in the right brain of these people....
They cannot SERVE without a licenced firearm. So if they cannot serve, why should they be able to use the bikes??
The bikes are official vehicles if they use them then they will be presumed to be on duty, to ensure the dept does not become liable for a law suit should an incident occur the manager acted correctly.
Wait till one VIKING needs a motorbike parade into town and all the bikes are confiscated. Vikings are funny creatures
Viva Pinkie - it's not your problem others in the chain have let these guys down. Nice to see someone simply enforcing the law, using their authority visibly in accordance with the law, regardless of who they are acting against.
I agree AJ>Take a stand.Well done.
Hello AJ, I am on you with this one. At last somebody in authority who seems to be doing things the right way.
Pinkie Mathabathe I applaud you if the above article is correct and fairly represents the facts.
A round of applause for Mathabathe. Someone needs to take charge and DO something. Well done!
Agreed! When people cruise along doing what they like with no fear of consequence, things deterriorate rapidly. Good to see these cops getting a good proper wake-up-call!
They know when the licences expire, are they still children that they must be told to please go and renew your licence. If I know at work that a licence or password expires I don't wait for someone to tell me to it, I do it myself because I'm and adult and I know my it's my responsebility to do it, and not at the last minute as well.
Do you want a badge or maybe a certificate?
Give her a Noddy Badge!
In fairness to the cops the licences for the firearms have probably hit the same cul de sac that all other civilian gun licencees have been struggling with. Surely it is the job of the administrators to issue licences and keep tabs on what datre they expire and send off for renewal in time. The traffic officers shouldn't be standing in queues of civil servants who o on strike at the drop of a hat or simply ignore you while you stand in front of them when they are on their cell phones. I'm sure that this is all down to cadres being deployed who haven't passed matric and never seen let alone operated computers etc expected to do a vital job which they are not trained for. Where have the senior officials been who should be monitoring this sort of thing day to day? On holiday, watching sport who knows? Pinkie I am sure the officers concerned are relieved to have been relieved of their bikes if they didn't have licensed guns. They most likely had no amoo for the guns either as the clerk meant to order it didn'y understand a word that was written on the order. I am tempted to use a very politically incorrect word her to describe a collective of clowns. Big mouths full of hot air unable to run a brothel never mind a civil service. Well Pinkie! You've shown everyone how things ought to be DONE, but how did it reach this pass to start with? HAHAHA
What are they gonna do now that the 'CHiPS'are down or is it 'CHiMPS'
So, Tshepo - you then go and do the same thing. The idiot Vernon might not even BE a "flat foot Dutchman" as you put it. Does this then justify me flinging some dung in your direction? Didn't think so.
Did they at least get to keep their blue lights and sirens? The motorcycle task team would look silly without those.
LOL! This is what you get when you have a corrupt, racist ANC-PF government in power. Bad management, bad attitudes & all round bad service.
good stuff those bastads must spend a night in jail as well, we cannot have cops with guns running around like wild cowboys this is not the wild west....
Holy crap! I actually agree with tshepo...well, almost.
Jail is a bit harsh. Suspension without pay is probably more appropriate.
You've obviously run foul of the law previously...hence your tyranical outburst is not targeted at us so called racists this time!!!!
Waaahahaha!oh wow! Obviously you did not know that your license was expiring and therefore could only go and renew in December !! Thats responsible! Now you dont have a bike, shame see, and we must all feel sorry for you because you cant work .. NOT. Well done sista!
Oh my word you guys are blithering idiots.
The officers did try to renew their licenses, but were unable to get the college to give them a date in time.
Pinky Mathabathe should have used her position of power to get the guys an appointment to renew their licenses in stead of trying to look all important and tough by confiscating their bikes and threatening to close the unit.
They cannot go out in uniform without guns. It's time the management of the Metro Police start looking after and backing it's members, in stead of fighting them every step of the way.
No wonder the moral is as low as it is.
Okay - so they tried. I'm wondering if they let anybody know that they can't get an appointment? Did they attempt to escalate the situation? Did they even go as far as letting Mathabathe know they can't get in? Or did they just sit back and wait for the thing to expire?
In the end we are all responsible for our own jobs, and if you cannot do it, then you must let the powers that be know that you are having problems to do your job. Well, that's how it works in most companies i've worked at.
Ah come onnnn. From all that's been said it clearly wasn't brought to her attention. They are a bunch of useless assholes at the best of times. The morale is so low because they are a bunch of lazy, bribe taking or bribe enforcing thieves. This doesn't exactly lend itself to high morale, does it?
Zactly, Karen.
Pitiful!Africa at its best!
Well done! Not checking something as important as the expire date! Well Done!!
FINALLY, an official actually being proactive and doing something instead of turning a blind eye, just a pity she's local gov and not national. I seriously doubt the other fat cats further up the chain will actually sit up and decide to do something constructive instead of use parliment to catch up on sleep. But then again local elections are coming up, maybe this is why she's doing it!
She probably never will make national because she is not crooked enough.
ANC couldn't run a BATH..let alone a Dept...
give her a KFC rounder !
where can we collect the bikes? We sure need them for the work we do!!!
Why were they not charged with possesion of an unlicenced fire arm like anybody else?
Exactly d54, EXACTLY !!!!!
Well done to Mathabathe. Really. You make a plan and do the minimum requirements. There's no excuse in our company for not complying, so why should there be for metros?
Also, to Barry M........there's a reason our cops have guns. You actually asked that question? Are you for real? If an armed hijacker shoots you, do you want the police to tazer him?
Depends on the charge the tazer carries, and where it's put
Deirdre - good point! :)
How about this: Your employee must at all times ensure that you have the correct tools for job? The buck stops with Mathabathe as the manager. If they did try and get it and had problems then she should have acted earlier. Is this just another case of somebody being placed for the sake of AA? If they did indeed fail to do anything they should be taken to task.
As per the DA's comment, if it was the officers responsibility to renew their own licences, then they should have been given time off to do this. If they were not then the police management are at fault. Let the facts come to the fore before we verbally abuse anyone guys...
why then hell do they need time off?? All they ever do is sit around anyway - usually at petrol stations drinking bloody coffee!!
You have to admit that if it wasn't so serious it would be hysterically funny! And they wonder where pur cartoonists find their material. You can't make this stuff up (pardon the gun; sorry I mean pun)
Gestremde pigmente kan niks reg doen nie .weet net hoe om geld te steel , en om oneerlik te wees
Gestremde pigmente? Are you for real? In my experience most embezzlers are white my pigmently challenged friend...not that that has jack squat to do with this article. Nobody was stealing nay money. Idiot.
@colourblind...are their still white traffic cops around these days???
Didn't you read about Odendaal and Winnie's run in then? Maybe his gun was also unlicensed which is why he poked the chauffeur in the chest with his finger instead...
What should have happened: When the record[ there should be one ] in the offices stated the expiring date is due, the guns should have been confiscated and the cops should have work without of them. If refuse, take action against them. If the cops talking the truth, they should have handed there guns in to their person in charge and said that they need assistance with appointments.[ They should have done this even before the expiring date] While there authorization/licences pending they could refused to work the dangerous areas and just do the areas where they feel safe in. It would have brought this problem up in the begin, shown who the guilty ones were and a possible solution could h'v been found. Now it is the public that suffers.
what about the firearms? Are they still carrying the firearms? I would have thought the firearms should be confiscated, not the motorbikes...
you can't make this crap up...
They should have confiscated the fire arms not the bikes. Bad or failure to plan strikes once again.
Of COURSE they should've bloody taken the bikes - why the hell should they use something WE pay for when they are breaking the law? Do they also fill-up the bikes with petrol WE pay for? Right now they committed a crime i.e. they are CRIMINALS!! Carrying unlicenced firearms is a crime. Why should they still have use of the bikes?
Well this says it all!!
The police weren't told there gun licences
had expired?
SAA didn't realise two of there planes
leases had expired?
Hey maybe thats why our country is going
to the dogs, somebody forgot to tell all our
politicians that there brain cells have expired.
I like the fact that action was taken for non-compliance of regulations, although I may not agree with the course these actions took. Ultimately Management is responsible for the infractions but hats off to the Director for taking action. Now if our country's Leaders would be so bold as to start laying down the law to errant civil servants...wouldn't that be something ?
she'll probably be deported or transfered to some clerks position...how dare she buck the system (waht system)!!!!
Pinkie winkie,she should go and play with the rest of the teletubbies.She should support her staff if they are having problems getting relicensed.She is now working against her own mandate.

Florida High Court Rejects Hospital Governance Law
TALLAHASSEE—The Florida Supreme Court has struck down as unconstitutional a narrowly drawn state statute that allows the board of a private, for-profit hospital operating in St. Lucie County to supercede medical staff bylaws. In Lawnwood Medical Center v. Randall Seeger, MD (as president of the Lawnwood medical staff), the state's highest court agreed with a trial court and an appeals court that the so-called St. Lucie County Hospital Governance Law violated the Florida Constitution because it "granted privilege to a private corporation."
In a 31-page ruling, and with no dissent, the court says the Hospital Governance Law gives the 331-bed Lawnwood "almost absolute power in running the affairs of the hospital, essentially without meaningful regard for the recommendations or actions of the medical staff."
The law applies only to the two private hospitals in St. Lucie County, which is located on Florida's East Coast, about 100 miles north of Miami. Both hospitals are owned by HCA. Nashville-based HCA referred calls to Lawnwood; Lawnwood officials did not immediately return calls seeking comment.
Lawnwood successfully pushed the Hospital Governance Law through the Florida Legislature in 2003 after years of fighting with staff physicians on points ranging from privileging physicians to quality-of-care issues. The issue came to a head in 1999 when Lawnwood removed physicians from its Medical Executive Committee after they declined to recommend disciplinary actions against two staff pathologists that the hospital claimed threatened patient safety.
The Florida Medical Association, which had vigorously lobbied against the law in the legislature, praised the high court's Aug. 28 ruling.
"Physicians who comprise medical staffs are in the best position to make decisions on medical issues that affect patients' well-being, not hospital trustees," says FMA President Steven R. West, MD, a Fort Myers cardiologist.
West called the ruling "an important legal victory" because it will "prevent hospitals from encroaching on medical staff autonomy and becoming embroiled in a legal tug of war over the division of responsibilities within the hospital."
FMA, and the Litigation Center of the American Medical Association, filed friend of the court briefs in both the appellate and supreme courts on behalf of the Lawnwood physicians and helped pay their legal fees.

Since CV remains weak in both the S&P 500 index and the S&P Emini contract with the latter below its March 2009 lows by a wide margin, the odds are good that if it turns out recent strength has merely been a reflex rally in a bear move, CV will make new lows in both the Cash S&P and the S&P Emini.
In addition, our Call/Put Dollar Value Flow Line (CPFL) has confirmed NONE of the strength in the retracement short-term rally. NONE. In fact Daily CPFL data have remained net negative for the past 22 sessions while continuing to underscore the notion that options players haven't believed in any of the strength of the recent rally. Last Friday Put Dollar Volume exceeded Call data by nearly 2.4 to 1. Last week Put Dollar Volume exceeded Call Dollar Volume by 5.2 to 1. Such negativity on the heels of a downside break in CPFL below its long-term uptrend stretching back to March 2009 is decidedly not a bullish sign.
Daily S&P 500 Index with Cumulative Volume
Weekly S&P 500 Index with Cumulative Volume
Then we have our Most Actives Advance/Decline Line (MAAD). MAAD which has also fractured its major uptrend line also stretching back to March 2009. But what is most worrisome about MAAD is the fact this bellwether "liked" little of the long-term move since March 2009. In fact, Smart Money has been skeptical to the extent MAAD was unable to recover even 50% of its losses following the October 2007 to March 2009 bear market. Put another way, if renewed selling develops MAAD could easily make new long-term lows while highlighting the fact Smart Money continues to exit this market.

CHESTER, Pa. – The good news for the Philadelphia Union is that Maurice Edu is returning earlier than expected from US national team camp and will be available for Sunday's game against the LA Galaxy at the StubHub Center (8 pm ET; Univision Deportes).
The bad news is that so is Landon Donovan.
Donovan and Edu were among the seven players cut from US national team coach Jurgen Klinsmann's World Cup squad on Thursday – and could now square off against each other this weekend.
"The first thought when I saw it was that I couldn't believe [Donovan] didn't make the World Cup team," Union manager John Hackworth said before the team boarded a flight to Los Angeles on Friday. "And the second thought was that I can't believe we have to play him this weekend."
Because the US national team's roster wasn't expected to be trimmed down from 30 to 23 until later in the month, Hackworth set up a gameplan that didn't involve tying to stop Donovan and also didn't involve using Edu.
Even now, the Union manager is unsure if Edu will start or even get on the field after he meets up with the team in Southern California.
"We'll evaluate it to see how Maurice is doing both physically and mentally," Hackworth said. "And then we'll make a decision on how to proceed for Sunday."
Considering Cristian Maidana is suspended and Brian Carroll is coming off a groin injury, the Union could certainly use Edu during their two-game road trip in California, which concludes with a match against Chivas USA next Saturday.
- Get the latest Union headlines at PhiladelphiaUnion.com
But Hackworth tried to toe the line between excitement for the club and disappointment for Edu, who missed out on the chance to play in his second World Cup.
"We're glad he is going to be with us in Los Angeles," the Union manager said. "It's unfortunate for him that he didn't make the 23 – we thought he deserved that opportunity. But we welcome him back because we're a better team with him."
The Galaxy, of course, are a better team with Donovan, too. And his possible inclusion in the LA lineup immediately after a shocking snub is something that has Hackworth very wary.
"Landon is one of the best players this country has ever known," the Union manager said. "Obviously, we've been preparing to play LA with him not being a part of the team and we have to change gears in a dramatic way to deal with Landon on Sunday."

I know this isn't really a car story, but we also know that lots of us eat lots of burgers are car show, bike, boat, and plane shows and more.....so we thought we would comment a bit on the odd..at least to us.
In Dubai (the place with the big building and other things) you can order a one or two pattie Camel Burger.
The folks says it is low fat and good for you.
So next time you go to the Dubai Auto Show...enjoy, I guess.

Soothin', Groovin' Musical Roads
Oct 24, 2008 | Views: 1,697
An interesting report this morning in the Wall Street Journal about a singing road; and the William Tell Overture no less.
It seems that the Honda Motor company wanted a road to sing so it worked with the city of Lancaster, California to turn black asphalt into, well, a sort of road and track version of a xyzlaphone.
The length of road is not without controversy in this California city, but you gotta say; in these days of social breakdown, financial ruin on Wall Street, and constant acrimony between the politicians; a little music on the road could be a good thing.
Hey, with all the tax dollars we spend, maybe we could get Arrowsmith on I-80? What song would you like to see notched in your local roads?

It was today in 1789 that our first president, George Washington, took the oath of office. Very important. A great leader.
It was today in 1945 that Hitler shot and killed himself. Very important. Not a great leader. A killer.
Thank god for the freedoms we have and the leaders who helped us secure them. We must keep every vigilant to avoid nuts like Hitler from ever gaining power in any sane nation.

McCain Quits. Romney will Be President. Rambler to become Official U.S. Car.
Apr 1, 2008 | Views: 1,157
Replacing McCain will be Mitt Romney, who was running a very strenuous campaign until he quit in favor of McCain earlier this year.
It is reported that Romney, who now drives a Gremlin - retooled with a Hydrogen Fuel Cell, will announce that the Rambler will become the official car of the United States and that production on reproductions will start immediately.
Romeny is confident of victory. He has received the endorsement of the RSL AMC (Retired and Still Living American Motor Company employees) now based in Boca Raton, FL.
P.S. George Romney, Mitt's Father, was President of AMC (American Motor Company) which produced the Rambler, followed by the initial success of the Gremlin. The Gremlin was introduced on April 1, 1970. John McCain's father and grandfather were both admirals.
Today is April Fools Day. !!!! :-)

Oh Man o Man. What a Week. CyberHeadache and all!
Feb 1, 2008 | Views: 1,110
But, I could only stand back as our brilliant engineers worked to find the cyberproblem that was keeping Motortopia from loading up for many of you around the world. I just had to stand back and let them work.
We did a lot this week to upgrade the Motortopia data center. In our new world class location, we are getting ready for new developments at Motortopia. But, the last week, well, gave us all a cyberheadache.
The new data center is working great! But the gettin' there was a bit of a challenge.
My usual approach is NOT to blame other. We should all look at our own actions first, and take responsible action to fix the problems. But, I must say, that our team did a great job. Upgraded a data center in record time, and got things all hooked up with multiple backbone providers. And most things worked, but may of you could still not get to Motortopia.
We discovered some problems with a large upstream internet backbone provider. Someone there finally cared and we go this fixed.
We're back, but, oh what cyberheadache.

f you would like to read more, read this piece from KU History.
