DALLAS (AP) Valero Energy Corp. said Monday it has agreed to buy rival Ultramar Diamond Shamrock Corp. for $4 billion in cash and stock in a deal that would create the nation's second-largest oil refiner.
The combination of San Antonio-based refiners would create a company with $32 billion in annual sales, 23,000 employees, 5,000 service stations and 13 refineries.
Valero's move is just the latest in a gusher of mergers and acquisitions that have transformed the energy industry over the past two years.
Valero owns six refineries with a capacity to handle more than 1 million barrels of crude oil per day. It entered gasoline retailing only last year, however, when it picked up 350 California service stations along with an Exxon Mobil Corp. refinery.
Ultramar, slightly bigger in sales, has seven refineries and nearly 5,000 stations and convenience stores, most of which carry the flag of Diamond Shamrock, Ultramar, Beacon or Total.
Despite its new size, Valero will continue to be viewed as an independent refiner because it doesn't drill for oil like the integrated oil companies such as Exxon Mobil, BP Amoco and Chevron.
Executives of both Valero and Ultramar said no layoffs were planned but that some employees would be offered early-retirement incentives.
For Valero, Monday marked the boldest step yet since the company got out of the natural gas business three years ago to concentrate on refining. Valero went on an acquisition binge, buying Basis refineries on the Gulf Coast and a Mobil refinery in New Jersey before picking up the Exxon Mobil facility in Benicia, Calif., which the oil giant had to sell as a condition for merging Exxon and Mobil.
Valero executives have said the company earned margins as high as $22 per barrel on Alaskan crude oil turned into specially formulated gasoline for California.
Chairman and chief executive Bill Greehey told analysts last year the conditions amounted to ''the perfect refining cycle'' the price of the gasoline that the company sells has risen faster than the cost of the crude oil it buys and refines.
''In the past when margins were good, you'd crank up the refinery and margins would go down,'' Greehey said then. ''Now, we're running at full capacity, and it's not having an impact on margins.''
Dennis O'Brien, director of the Institute for Energy Economics and Policy at the University of Oklahoma, said Valero has prospered by buying refineries when others are leery of the environmental headaches of ownership.
''They've been entering part of the business all the major oil companies are trying to get out of, and it puts them in a very strong position,'' O'Brien said.
With the addition of the Ultramar refineries, Valero said it would trail only Irving-based Exxon Mobil Corp. in refining capacity among U.S. oil companies.
Valero has about 3,100 employees and last year earned $339 million on sales of $14.67 billion. Earlier this year, former U.S. Energy Secretary Bill Richardson joined its board of directors.
Ultramar has more than 20,000 employees and earned $444 million last year on sales of $17.06 billion. Most of its service stations and convenience stores carry the flag of Diamond Shamrock, Ultramar, Beacon or Total.
The purchase would increase Valero's presence in Texas and California and take it into Colorado, Oklahoma and Quebec, Canada. Both companies' boards of directors have approved the deal, which still needs approval from both groups of shareholders and from federal regulators.
Valero would exchange 1.228 shares of its common stock for about half of the outstanding shares of Ultramar Diamond Shamrock common stock and pay $55 cash per share for the remaining shares.
Valero also would assume $2 billion in debt by Ultramar, whose chairman and chief executive, Jean Gaulin, would retire when the sale is closed.

Im on a mission to try all the authentic Tex-Mex taquerias, taco stands, panaderias, take-out counters, and restaurants in the predominantly Hispanic East and Southeast sides of Austin, particularly the places that are under the radar for me and maybe for other chowhounds as well. Ive covered a few more well-known places, but I will concentrate on the area around Pleasant Valley, East Oltorf, East Riverside, and Burleson Road. Im primarily on a search for good Tex-Mex, though Ill report on other interesting regional or Central and South American finds as I happen upon them.
Im starting with Part 2 because Im counting an earlier message (see link below) as Part 1.
I have one correction to Part 1: Tex-Mex barbacoa is made of steam-roasted cerveza de res, or cows head, not hogs head. Traditional pork tamales are made with hogs head. (One of the reasons why theyre only made once a year.) I switched these barn animals in my earlier description of barbacoa.
Now, on to Part 2. In this report Im starting a bit slow in terms of under-the-radar eateries. Im including two relatively well-known stops and one less well-known one on East 7th Street along with a small place on Springdale Road near Lyons. Since much of East 7th is well documented, Im skipping the rest of it. However, l may come back to this part of town after checking out what else is out there.
Joes Bakery, 2305 E. 7th Street
Joes Bakery is comforting because it is reminds me of the family-owned taquerias and restaurants Ive known and loved in San Antonio. They sell pan dulce in the front; they make flour tortillas in house. The lines are out the door early on Sunday morning with families waiting to buy barbacoa by the pound and menudo.
Their carne guisada was recommended to me by a San Antonio transplant with whom I was discussing Austins relatively expensive Tex-Mex. It was one of the first things I checked out. Ive had a breakfast taco and also a lunch plate with carne guisada. (Tacos are around $2 each and lunch plates are $4.95, if I remember correctly). The plate came with rice, beans, a salad (lettuce, tomato, and hamburger dills), and 2 tortillas. The carne guisada is tasty. I liked their refried beans-good texture and flavor. Even the rice is a nice mixture of tomato and spices, though its perhaps more liquidy than usual. A side of guacamole was not good: It consisted of an overripe avocado mashed up with some of their table salsa. Since it cost $4 for a small order, this was hard to swallow in more ways than one. Ive also had the barbacoa plate and bought it by the pound on weekends. If its not made with cabeza, barbacoa just tastes like roast beef. I like the barbacoa at Joes, but its too lean for my taste. I dont get carried away by it like I do when its really, decadently rich.
Ive had mixed luck with other breakfast items. I tried the generously-portioned taco of migas with everything. The eggs were too hard-scrambled the two times Ive had this taco, and I think they over-do it with the jalapeño. I wonder what their plain migas are like. Part of the problem is that I dont care for the brand of packaged chips they serve with salsa and also crumble up in the migas. The chorizo-and-egg taco was well prepared-soft scrambled with lots of chorizo so that the mixture was darkly speckled and the texture was like cheese curds. The chorizo itself, however, had too much dried-chile-powder flavor. This doesnt mean it was spicy. It wasnt. A blast of concentrated powder hits the palate with every bite, which makes the chorizo-egg-filling taste acrid. I couldnt finish the taco. This says more about the local chorizo supply than anything Joes does, since I doubt they grind their own sausage. And I know I havent found a good local source for chorizo, other than the packaged varieties at HEB. [Ive been using Garcias brand since my old stand-by APCO started getting too salty a couple of years ago.]
Of their pan dulce, Ive tried a marranito (a spiced ginger cookie shaped like a pig) and a cuerno (a horn: it kind of looks like a sugar-topped, curved croissant). It was serviceable. Ive purchased a dozen flour tortillas from Joes, along with ones from El Milagro and La Victoria. The thin, dry-textured, almost crisp ones from Joes are the best of the three, but I find them a bit bland due to the kind of shortening theyre using. I like the kind of handmade flour tortillas that are common in San Antonio. Theyre thicker and more tender than what Ive found here in Austin, with more air bubbles, due to the fact that they add baking powder to the masa. They might use a lower-gluten flower as well. Thick or thin, the best flour tortillas are made with some lard or butter, and not just Crisco or, worse still, vegetable oil. My search continues for truly amazing ones here in Austin.
Joes serves menudo (its okay, not spectacular) and eggs scrambled with chicharrones. Other than that, their menu doesnt include a very wide range of Tex-Mex basics. I like the feel of this place. But, of the authentic taquerias that Ive tried, Joes plays it the safest.
La Michoacana Meat Market, 1917 E. 7th Street
Speaking of chorizo sources, La Michoacana Meat Market is an obvious one. I bought a pound of their in-house bulk chorizo a few weekends ago to make my own chorizo con huevo. It was the oddest-tasting chorizo Ive ever had. Totally sweet. This is not normal for Tex-Mex chorizo. Like any sausage, chorizo has a lot of seasonings, including garlic, vinegar, and chiles. In La Michoacanas utterly mild chorizo, the most noticeable flavoring was canela (Mexican cinnamon) and nutmeg. These are just subtle undertones in most versions.
Ive only tried a couple of tacos while shopping at La Michoacana. One was barbacoa that was on the lean side. It was good, but most of the flavor came from the onions (they added onions and cilantro before I could stop them). The other was lengua guisada. It wasnt bad, though a bit underseasoned the day I tried it. Its hard to mess up this cut of meat, however. One word to the cook: One-inch cubes of tongue do not make for easy taco-eating! Unless the lengua just melts in your mouth, you end up with a shirt full of sauce. These tacos work much better when the meat is cut in thin strips. The doubled-up corn tortillas they use at La Michoacana were quite good. I wish Id seen what brand they used. All in all, the tacos were satisfying, but the ones at Abarrotes Mexicanos and Taqueria Piedras Negras are better. I believe the price at La Michoacana was about $2 a taco.
They sell some pan dulce at La Michoacana. I dont know who bakes it, but it was much better than I expected. I liked the pan de huevo (these are sometimes called conchas, due to the shell-like shape). Their cookies were also good, including the Mexican version of a palmier. The marranito was too hard for my liking (this is one of my favorite pieces, so I have a very particular thing Im looking for). Only the yo-yo (red filling between two golden halves) was too dry and crumbly. Ive also tried their bolillos. They were super soft and oddly salty. The baker must have had an off day. But, at 4 for 99 cents, I could afford to experiment.
Ill certainly be back when Im in the area and need Mexican groceries. They sell cuts of meat that are hard to find at regular grocery stores, though prices seem better at La Hacienda Meat Market. More on the latter at a future date.
La Monita, 2200 E. 7th Street
La Monita didnt look like a place of business when I walked in late one Saturday afternoon-few tables, no lights, no visible printed menus. Just a long room with a table full of regulars talking amongst themselves in the far corner.
Walk up to the counter, though, to order authentic cows head barbacoa! Because this dish can be greasy, I sometimes ask for half lean and half fattier pieces. I forgot this time. Cows cheeks may have become a hot gourmet item, but fortunately barbacoa is still affordable. La Monita is my new favorite source for barbacoa by the pound.
La Monita also serves the central Mexican staple of lamb barbacoa, made here with lambs head. If you like the strong taste of mutton, you might want to try this. They offer menudo (which I didnt order), carnitas, and tripitas (tripe). The carnitas were very flavorful; I enjoyed them. Same with the tripe. You get salsa and the option of adding cilantro and onions to your tacos ($1.95 each, I believe). The corn tortillas that came with the tacos were fine.
LM also sells various packaged tortillas. I bought the flour ones in a clear unmarked plastic bag because they seemed most likely to be made in-house. They werent bad texturally, if you like the thin kind of flour tortillas, but they lacked depth of flavor.
Seis Mesas, 917 Springdale Road
This small storefront restaurant (the name means six tables, which is what they have) on Springdale Road at Lyons does a brisk take-out business for breakfast and lunch. Ive been trying to check it out for weeks, but I always arrived when they were closed. (FYI: They stop serving food at 2 P.M.) I finally timed things just right. There isnt much in terms of decor, but I felt at home from the moment the friendly waitress greeted us and quickly brought our drinks and chips with salsa. The breakfast and lunch items are posted near the take-out counter. Other items (like caldo or menudo) you have to ask about.
For comparison purposes, I ordered my usual lunch: the carne guisada plate (all plates are $4.99). The tender meat was very good. It was reddish-brown from a judicious use of tomatoes in the sauce, nicely stewed, and quite savory. Plates come with the standard rice, beans, lettuce-and-tomato salad, and 2 tortillas. The rice had a nice, fluffy texture and good flavor. The refried beans that came with the plate were delicious. When I asked for an extra side-order, they brought me a very large serving: The beans spread over the whole plate. The waitress told me that the cook had given me the rest of them when she told her how much I liked them. And darned if I didnt scrape up every last bit.
My friend ordered three tacos-beef fajitas, al pastor, and barbacoa (tacos are $1.45 each, the best à la carte price Ive seen for them). They were all very flavorful. Beef fajitas can be pretty boring, but their meat had excellent flavor all on its own (you get the option of lettuce, tomato, and cheese with fajitas). The al pastor was nicely seasoned with dried chiles and citrus juice. And the barbacoa! It was the real deal, rich and tender, just like the kind I got at La Monita. Delicious. Pico de gallo is an optional addition for tacos.
The salsa they serve with chips was a deep brownish-red, which should have warned me that it wasnt as mild as it initially tasted. A distinct back-of-the-throat burn followed quickly upon my rapid consumption of it with chips. The chips themselves, as well as the tortillas, are store-bought. This seems typical of smaller places. The corn tortillas were better than the flour ones.
And the menudo! Its quite good. I had to return to sample some after I noticed on my initial visit that a party of four were spooning up every last drop from their huge bowls of it. Their caldo de res looked appealing, too, chock-full of veggies. It was too hot outside to eat soup, though. I havent yet tried their hamburgers, but I wanted to taste one of six I saw the cook making for a take-out order. At $3.25 for a hamburger with hot, crispy fries, it seems like a good deal, too.
Seis Mesas serves pretty much the same menu that Joes Bakery does, minus Joes American-style breakfast plates. At lunch Seis Mesas serves plates or tacos with fajitas, puerco al pastor, barbacoa, carne guisada, chicharrones, plus plates of enchiladas, chalupas, and crispy tacos. For breakfast they serve tacos of chorizo and egg or migas, along with various U.S. breakfast meats (ham, bacon, sausage) scrambled with eggs. They also have plates of huevos rancheros, papas rancheras (that sounds really good right now), huevos mexicanos, and migas.
Everyone seemed happy to be working and eating there, and they appeared to have quite a few regulars. The reason is simple--their food is excellent. And, its a really friendly place. Everyone thanked us and asked us to come again on our first visit. Plus, given that we paid less than $12 for two people [excluding the menudo, which I had on a subsequent solo visit], I figured out after the fact that they probably didnt charge me for the extra order of beans or the extra tortillas. All in all, I liked the food better here than at Joes Bakery because it tastes more like good home-cooking. I plan on becoming one of their regulars.

Group size in wedge-capped capuchin monkeys Cebus olivaceus and the reproductive success of males and females
- 194 Downloads
- Citations
The effect of variation in group size on age-specific survivorship and fecundity rates were examined in a population of wedge-capped capuchin monkeys Cebus olivaceus during a 10 year study. Life tables were constructed separately for four large (≥15 individuals) and four small groups (<15 individuals). Female reproductive success, and its relative contribution to population growth, was much higher in large groups, primarily through higher age-specific fecundity. Age-specific survivorship was similar in groups of different sizes. The reproductive success of the single breeding male in a group was much higher in large than small groups. Compared to small groups, breeding males in large groups had a longer breeding tenure, and access to greater numbers of reproductive females with a higher average fecundity. Differences in female reproductive success apparently resulted from variation in access to monopolizable fruit trees. Large groups predictably displaced small groups during intergroup encounters. Group rank depended on the number of males resident in groups. The large number of non-breeding males in large groups results from their longer average residency time. I explain the longer residency of males in large groups by the higher average reproductive success of breeding males in these groups.

Wells finds contentment in new role
Wells finds contentment in new role
How has this new life been?
"Good, actually," Wells said on Friday. "The only thing I'm focused on is us winning games. I'm at the point now where I'm not really concerned with when I'm not in the lineup. I'm more concerned at what the outcome of each game is. When I'm on the bench, it's trying to help out as much as you can. If you see something, communicating with guys when they're playing, trying to do what you can to help the team win. The adjustment, at first, was difficult. But now, I'm enjoying it as much as I can."
The Angels have played 21 games since Wells' July 27 return, and the much-maligned player has started eight of them, getting playing time ahead of Peter Bourjos on nights when the opposing starter throws left-handed. He started off 0-for-16, then went 3-for-3 with a homer last Saturday and has gone 0-for-8 since.
That's life on baseball's bench, where hot streaks die fast and rhythm is almost impossible to attain.
No complaints from Wells, though.
"I know this is what this time is," said Wells, out of the lineup against the Rays' James Shields on Friday. "This is a unique opportunity to be on a very good team, and you have to take advantage of it no matter what your role is. For the next, hopefully 2 1/2, three months, this is what this is. You just worry about the here and now. You can't control what's going to happen in the offseason, or what's going to happen next year. But I think everyone knows I can still play every day. There's just no room right now."

text: Hey guys looking for some advice. I need to run a minimum of 1/4" spacers in the front and maybe even more in the rear. I got 1/8" universal spacers and on the box they say to make sure at least 1/2" threads are showing. When I put two of them on to equal 1/4" there is exactly 1/2" of thread sticking out, is that safe or will I need longer studs? Right now when turning my 9" wheels dont clear my coilovers with the 1/8" spacers. Now question on the rear, If I need to run longer studs I know ARP sells the 3" studs, is there anyway to get these in without removing the axle? And if not whats the easiest way to get this done? I am hoping 1/4" will be enough in the rear as well.

County finally resolves waste site ownership issue
By MEGAN COOPER
Mt. Pleasant News
Finally, Henry County has a solid waste site it can call its own.
Henry County Board of Supervisors, during its regular meeting, reported the county received news via email that they will be able to keep their solid waste site. In previous years, the board has had issues concerning this site.
Four or five years ago, the board obtained the Army Reserve site when it closed. At this time, the board agreed that they could "utilize for county as long as emergency management remained there," said Shelly Barber, Henry County Auditor.
Soon afterward, the county also obtained the waste site used by a sanitation firm that was going out of business.
The former Army Reserve site, now used by county emergency management also would house old clerk of court documents and those documents would be stored in the basement, but emergency management would remain there as well. These sites were to be used as storage sites and the board was told that this was okay.
FEMA then sent a representative to do an inspection, because FEMA was told that the site wasn't being used properly. According to FEMA, the county couldn't use the site for solid waste if emergency management was there. Then, the Government Service Agency (GSA) stated the board could continue to use the site for storage.
Consequently, the board checked into the situation and they found that they might be able to keep the site without purchasing it if they would get it through Public Health, which would satisfy the government's requirement that the site be used for waste and storage of mental health or health records.
The confirmation received on Thursday, Aug. 15, stated that all the paperwork FEMA has received was accepted and now the board is waiting on the call to say this issue has been cleared up. FEMA's legal counsel is "happy with final documents," Barber stated.
The reason the board has been so adamant about this site is because they want to add "power, in order to install compactors, instead of using garbage truck compactors," Barber said.
The confirmation has been sent to board supervisor Chairman Gary See. If everything goes according to plan, the county will own both pieces of the site, part will be owned by FEMA and the Deparatment of Human Health Services (DHS) will own the other.
Barber made it apparent that the board was quite "happy" about this situation and they are hopeful for this issue to be solved. The board wants to use this site for storage, as it is a huge site with lots of unused space the additional space could be utilized as well.
In other board news, board Vice Chairman, Marc Lindeen, said that for the county, "all annual dues to RUSS are due on Oct. 1. Any payments received after that date will result in a penalty." Some counties have been paying late, so this date should allow for payments to be received on time. RUSS serves 10 counties in the area.
The state auditor, in order to save money, has deemed that board announcements will only be in one paper from now on, which will be the Mt. Pleasant News.
The board meets again Tuesday, Aug. 20 at 9 a.m.

The planners of the 2009 United Nations Durban II Review Conference, which is purportedly aimed at combating racism, have been busy crafting their anti-Semitic and anti-Western agenda.
Their latest manifesto is an intergovernmental working group report, issued by the Durban Review Conference Preparatory Committee on September 29, 2008. It includes regional annexes from Latin America, Africa, and the Organization of the Islamic Conference. The report and annex materials will all become part of the Durban II Conferences final outcome document.
The new UN human rights chief, Navanethem Pillay, cannot understand why the United States, Canada, and Israel have already decided to withdraw their support for this hatefest, and why other Western countries are considering boycotting the conference, as well. She gives the benefit of the doubt to the conference planners, even though their documents in preparation for Durban II associate racism and xenophobia solely with Western democracies while they give a free pass to regimes who commit crimes against humanity in the planners backyard.
The American historian and author Dr. Richard Landes has coined the term demopaths to describe the characteristics we find in those who are responsible for the Durban II agenda.[1]
Dr. Landes points out the demopaths most salient traits:
Radical imbalance between their insistence on asserting their own rights, and their lack of interest in defending the rights of others.
Moral rhetoric expressing great indignation when appealing for personal rights.
Tendency to tell demonizing tales of whom they brand the enemies of human rights.
Tendency to think in conspiratorial terms (they are conspirators themselves), and to project ill will onto opponents/enemies.
Do minimal (required) work protecting the rights of others, especially opponents/enemies.
Dr. Landes goes on to say that a demopathic organization would protest the media portraying its ethnic/religious affiliates as terrorists (inadmissible negative stereotyping), but would not protest the terrorist acts perpetrated by members of their ethnic/religious group (permissible wanton murder of civilians)."
The planning documents coming out of the Durban Review Conference Preparatory Committee so far, including the latest working group report, are the product of such demopathic organizations, including the Organization of the Islamic Conference, authoritarian regimes in Africa and Latin America and radical leftist non-governmental organizations (NGOs) accredited by the United Nations to participate in Durban II.
Thus, it is no surprise that the symptoms of demopathology which Landes describes are manifested so clearly in the demonization of Israel and in the obsession with Islamophobia. They are the key organizing principles that will animate Durban II.
It is also no surprise that the Durban II planners talk abstractly about the virtues of cultural diversity but want to legislate against a fulsome diversity of ideas that come from anyone whom they perceive as their enemies. Their latest working group report states, for example, that freedom of expression may be subject to restrictions provided by law and necessary for respect of the rights or reputations of others, the promotion of national security or public order, or of public health and morals.
The report lashes out in particular against what it calls the ideologies of extremist right-wing groups. Of course, nothing is said about the hateful ideologies of the extreme Left or of the Islamic fanatics since they are the driving force behind Durban II and are incapable of self-criticism or self-restraint. We see in action the radical imbalance between their insistence on asserting their own rights, and their lack of interest in defending the rights of others, which Dr. Landes so astutely observed to be a characteristic typical of demopaths.
Consequently, writing the truth about how self-described practitioners of Islam are responsible for the vast majority of terrorist killings around the world today is considered hate speech that must be banned, according to the demopaths running Durban II. Yet, these same demopaths believe that Muslim clerics are entitled to incite violence against infidels and to make death threats against authors of materials critical of Islam with impunity. Cartoons like those published in the Danish press mocking Islamic fanatics exploitation of their prophets teachings are an abuse of free expression, which deserves death for their publishers. Yet a book published by members of Iran's Islamist Basij militia featuring dozens of cartoons cruelly mocking Jewish victims of the Holocaust and school books used in Saudi Arabian schools referring to Jews and Christians as apes and pigs are perfectly alright.
In addition to their assault on their enemies right of free expression, the planners of Durban II are calling for current and future generations of Westerners to bear the burden of the sins of long ago generations. The planners demand formal apologies and collective compensation for the victims of historic injustices. This continues on a path set during the Durban I Conference in 2001, where the final declaration stated that "Slavery and the slave trade were appalling tragedies...a crime against humanity, and should always have been so."
Now the Durban II planners intend to make sure that we pay reparations to people who may not even be descended from the victims of crimes that were committed by other people who profited from slavery more than 140 years ago -- and who may not be our ancestors. At the same time, the planners gloss over the enslavement of black Sudanese women and children occurring in Africa today. They also ignore the fact that slaves were used by Arabs for more than 1,000 years (far more than in the West) and that there is still slavery in the Arab world today. The demopaths are incapable of introspection, only demonization.
For good measure, the Durban II intergovernmental working group report makes a conspiratorial reference to the victims of racism who are infected or presumably infected with pandemic diseases such as HIV/AIDS. No doubt compensation for the victims of an imaginary racist conspiracy to spread these diseases to black Africans will be added to the reparations bill.
Reparations, of course, are nothing more than another crass attempt to bring about massive wealth redistribution from the prosperous democratic societies of the West to corrupt, anti-democratic regimes in the under-developed world, some of which enslave their own people today. Depending on how they would be calculated, the total of reparations due could be over 100 trillion dollars, according to one estimate published in Harpers Magazine.
The next president of the United States may be tempted to make some symbolic gestures of compromise in the United Nations in order to improve our countrys image in the eyes of the world. Deciding to participate in Durban II may turn out to be one of those symbolic gestures, which would be a tragic mistake.
We should not care about being popular so long as we are doing the right thing and living up to our best ideals. Participating in Durban II in order to curry some favor in the United Nations would symbolize surrender to the demopaths who want to destroy us because of our core beliefs in freedom.

The Right Side of the Fence
"Car with 400 kilograms of explosives captured" screamed the headlines. The report told about the alertness of Border Policemen who prevented a horrible terror attack as planned for the center of a large city.
"Car with 400 kilograms of explosives captured" screamed the newspaper headlines on Wednesday this week, and the report told about the alertness of a few Border Policemen who prevented a horrible terror attack that was planned for the center of a large city. The car bomb was located and stopped within Israel, in the area of Wadi Ara, and this yet again placed the issue of the separation fence between Israel and the West Bank high on the agenda.
In the National Union campaign broadcasts, singer Ariel Zilber appears, sings the national anthem, "Hatikva," and declares that he does not want any separation fence that would divide the Land of Israel. Prime Minister Ariel Sharon informs voters, as if he had been forced to by an evil spirit, that he is building the fence. The Labor Party candidate for prime minister, Amram Mitzna, announces outright that he will build the fence quickly - if only they let him. And among the Jewish settlers in the territories, there is a dispute: The Yesha (Judea, Samaria and Gaza) Council agrees to an "eastern" fence while Daniella Weiss, the head of the Kedumim local council, is opposed to any fence at all.
Sharon has declared several times that he sees the erection of a fence only as a security measure, and not as the determination of a political border, but in the Yesha Council, they have begun to be suspicious. They have realized the psychological significance of the move. Elyakim Haetzni has said: "We are not prepared to have on our consciences the killing of even one Jew because there was no fence," and the head of the Binyamin local council, Pinhas Wallerstein, has proposed constructing the fence along a line that would run deep inside the territory, east of the Green Line (1967 border), and would take in the maximum amount of territory and Jewish population, and the minimum Palestinian population, and all this in order to prevent the erection of the fence along the Green Line itself.
After two years of serious terror attacks in the heart of the country, a consensus is forming that the fence is inevitable as long as it is not possible to reach a peace agreement in the foreseeable future. This is because not building the fence means abandoning the inhabitants of the country to the whims of terror. The fence has proved its efficacy well in Gaza, with dozens of attempted attacks prevented. It has also proved itself well on the Lebanese border.
But apart from the important security aspect, the fence is also the most significant political act here since the Oslo agreements. Anyone who is outside the fence will not be in the State of Israel. The inhabitants of the Jewish settlements that are beyond the fence will not be in the State of Israel. The fence will make it clear who is on the right side and who is not. The inhabitants of the Jewish settlements beyond the fence will feel increasing psychological pressure to evacuate. They will feel that Israel has left them "beyond the fence," alone, to their bitter fate.
When the fence goes up, terror attacks in the West Bank, on the roads and in the settlements, will be easier to carry out than attacks inside Israel, because the fence will constitute a barrier. The car bomb that entered Israel so easily this week will no longer be able to get through. It will be stopped at the border crossings. This is exactly the process now being experienced by the Jewish settlements that remain inside Gaza, which is surrounded by a fence. The inhabitants of these settlements feel that they are living on borrowed time, that it is only a matter of time before they are evacuated, because they are slipping out of the consensus.
Sharon is indeed not interested in building a complete fence that would surround the West Bank along the borders of the Green Line (with certain adjustments). He realizes that by doing this, he would be drawing Israel's political border. Therefore, for the moment, he is talking only about three sections of the fence, a northern section along a 42-kilometer stretch, a central section along 132 kilometers, and the fence of 22 kilometers around Jerusalem. Meanwhile, work is moving along sluggishly and only five kilometers of electronic fence have been erected in the central section, and one additional kilometer near Jerusalem.
But life is even stronger than Sharon. When the public realizes that an electronic fence, like the one that is now separating us from Lebanon, can protect our lives within the borders of the Green Line, the pressure on Sharon will increase to complete the construction of the entire fence around the West Bank, from Beit She'an to the Dead Sea.
This week, Prof. Zvi Eckstein and Prof. Danny Tsiddon of Tel Aviv University completed a study on the subject of the influence of a separation fence on the economy. They say that we are in the midst of a cruel, downward adjustment of the economy because of the fact that the main population centers are under an onslaught of terror, which is causing a decline in personal consumption, a decline in local and international investments, and therefore a loss in annual production of 3 to 4 percent during an adjustment period of about five years.
Such a process could lead to emigration from the country, write Eckstein and Tsiddon, and harm its military strength. It is likely to lead to a profound social crisis as a result of the damage to the weaker segments of Israeli society, the ultra-Orthodox, the Arabs and the inhabitants of peripheral areas and the poor neighborhoods. They recommend the erection of a separation fence in order to eliminate the problem of terror and thus allow the economy to grow - while not at the pace of "full peace," but rather at the pace of a country that is not threatened by terror.
"In conditions of the continuation of the violent conflict with the Palestinians, a separation fence without a doubt can be the most important infrastructure project for the Israeli economy," they say in conclusion to their study.

Never-Before-Seen Concept Art from 'Lion King'
From the day we arrive on the planet, and—blinking—step into the sun, there is more to see than can ever be seen. And included in that heap of things seeable is new The Lion King 3D concept art!
For fans of the childhood staple The Lion King (a group that you must be evil incarnate to not be part of), it's interesting to see original designs for characters like Simba (Jonathan Taylor Thomas/Matthew Broderick), Mufasa (James Earl Jones), Nala (Niketa Calame/Moira Kelly) Timon (Nathan Lane), Pumbaa (Ernie Sabella) and Zazu (Rowan Atkinson).
Varying from sketches to complete illustrations, the below images give us some fun insight into who these characters might have originally been conceived to be. Simba looks more impish and wily. Timon looks a little more conniving and sly. Pumbaa just looks sad.
The Lion King 3D will reach theaters this Friday, September 16.

Lady Gaga The Godmother To Elton Johns Son
When it comes to asking someone to be a godparent of your child, a lot of things are important to keep in mind. Who will take care of your child if something happens to you is a big decision. Elton John – well he thinks that role should go to Lady Gaga!
Elton John has confirmed that Lady Gaga is the godmother of his son.
In his appearance on 'Saturday Night Live' this past weekend, the 'Rocket Man' joked about parenthood during the opening monologue, saying he still hasn't "lost the baby weight" and let it slip that Gaga was godmother. John and partner David Furnish recently became parents to son Zachary, who was born this past Christmas.
"For those of you concerned that we are unusual parents, don't worry," said John. "It's not like we are the only two people involved in the child's life. His godmother is Lady Gaga. That is true. It's not a joke. Lady Gaga is his actual godmother, which is ironic, because I've always said that Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids. And Gaga loves Mars. She says Mars has good schools and great discos."

Income property is an investment. You attempt to derive an income from the asset for a certain period of time prior to capitalizing on a sale. Although income may be derived immediately, the final return on the project may not be known until it is sold in the distant future. In fact, in many projects the bulk of the investment return is tied to the future sales value. Until the project is sold, you technically haven't made a profit.
"I don't make a profit until the sale? What do you mean? If I make more income than expenses - it's a profit." Technically, you have not made a profit. Your project has positive cash flow. Although it seems like splitting hairs right now, this technicality will become apparent when you put your pro forma together. For now just accept that positive cash flow is great, and your profit is unrealized until sale.
Although you have a longer exposure to the market, income property has some advantages over flipping. First, you have considered the income potential of the area and bought a project that is supported by the local rents. Second, because the project is cash flowing, you have a high probability of being able to wait out economic down times. You may need to adjust your rental rates, but your chances of defaulting on the property are much lower than somebody needing to sell in three months. Finally, there are tax advantages to owning income property. You are able to depreciate the project and keep more of the income. Just bear in mind, all of those tax depreciations are recaptured at sale; albeit at a further reduced price when considering the time value of money.
There are some good books out there on many different types of income property. Believe it or not, almost all real property (there are a few exceptions) is income property. You just need to understand the ins, outs, and whys regarding income and expenses - not always a simple task. For instance, a residential project has different revenue and expenses than say a hotel or retail project. Needless to say supply and demand are also significant factors on your projects viability, not to mention market forces.
If you are just getting started, it is probably best to stick with smaller projects. One reason for this is that it is difficult to get financing in a project type that you have no experience, and we're talking about in good times. Also, any mistakes you may make on a smaller project will probably not wipe you out financially. On this site, we are going to concentrate on fundamentals of income property and focus on a single unit residential property; a house. Using what you learn here as a basis, you will be able to expand your knowledge in other building types as you do further research. The Urban Land Institute has a diverse selection of books on virtually every type of property. Unfortunately in the real estate category, there are as many inferior references as there are good ones. Avoid any materials promising instant riches or huge riskless returns.
"So how do I get started" First, you need to learn some fundamentals. Before you can run, you have to learn to crawl and then to walk.
Both speculative and income property investment consider the sale of the property in their profit calculations. A speculator though, is attempting to cash in quickly on a bump in the projects capital value. In laymen's terms, they are trying to take advantage of the market mispricing an asset; an arbitrage of sorts. For income property, the primary concern is that the income generated is sufficient to cover the expenses and provide some profit. Here you need to speculate on future values, but you have the ability to wait out negative market swings.
" So why do you consider income property an investment instead of speculation?" In all honesty, any investment in real estate is speculation of one degree or another. When investing in income property, you are speculating that your assumptions regarding demand are correct and that income will actually exceed expenses. If you are way off in your projections, you could incur heavy losses and potentially face foreclosure. What makes us consider the deal an investment is the project time line. With income property it is generally assumed that you'll hold it for at least a year or more. In the investment analysis the holding period is modeled at five years. In fact, many lenders would prefer that the project is modeled at least five years. So by most definitions, a long term hold is considered an investment, whilst a quick turnaround requirement is speculation. Perhaps it really is just semantics.
"How do I avoid a disaster?" Unfortunately, there are no guarantees of success in any investment. What you can do is reduce your risk of failure by analyzing each deal and choosing the one with the least known risk. If nothing else, you will be able to eliminate many projects that were doomed from the start. You see, many major problems with income property are made at the purchase due to a miscalculation of the future market. One could say there were unrealistic expectations, but in most cases those expectations were supported by independent (and expensive) experts. So our goal is to review the fundamental of how to adequately analyze an income property.
The following sections are mostly concerned with the "upfront" work and analysis to select an income property. While management of the property is very important, there are plenty of other books out there on how to manage the property. Our focus is on helping you choose the right property to manage. If you read the Flipping material you will notice much of the information is relatively similar. In fact, the process of choosing either a flip or income property is similar, but with a few important differences. By the end of the material, you should have a reasonable understanding of basic modeling of income properties. Also, you will have drastically improved your odds of success - for free (the best things in life are free - so they say).
Don't sweat the concept of modeling. You only need a simple spreadsheet. You can do this - let's get started.

In your GoodData trial, you can upload a Comma Separated Values (CSV) file using our sample uploader to quickly explore GoodData's reporting and visualization capabilities. Follow the format guidelines below to successfully upload a CSV file. If you have trouble with your upload, please email firstname.lastname@example.com and attach your CSV file.
General Requirements and Tips
Creating a CSV File
You can easily create a CSV file by opening a file in a spreadsheet program, such as Microsoft® Excel®, selecting "Save As," and setting the file format to "comma separated values .csv"
You can also export reports from Salesforce, Marketo, and other systems directly to CSV format.
Formatting Tips
- Ensure your file has a header row at the top containing the name of each column
- All rows in a column should be formatted consistently
- Each field in a row should contain a value – avoid blank cells
- Each record, including the header, must contain the same number of fields.
- Commas, semicolons, pipes or other standard delimiters must be used to separate all fields.
- The last field in the row should not contain a comma or other field delimiter
- There should be no empty rows at the end of the file
Number Formatting
- Use the plain #######.## format for numbers – remove thousand separator commas (,) currency symbols ($), percentage signs (%), and scientific notation (12E3) .
Dates Formatting
- Ensure your date values are between the years 1900 and 2050 – GoodData's supported range.
- Make sure your dates follow a yyyy/mm/dd or dd/mm/yyyy format.
Text Formatting
- Text strings should be surrounded by quotation marks ("Bob Smith")
Please feel free to review our more detailed guidelines.
Common Problems
Wherever possible, use a tool or a library to generate your CSV files. Avoid generating them manually.
All strings should be wrapped in quote marks ("), as in the following example:
"This is a string."
- Remove the thousand separator commas from all numbers (use the plain #######.## format)
- Don't use the scientific number format (e.g. 12E3)
- Remove all currency or percent characters from your numbers
- For date values, verify that no date is out of range (before 1900 or after 2050)
- Remove all empty trailing rows from your CSV file
- Verify that there are no End of File (EOF) delimiters in your CSV. Open the file and check that there are no delimiters at the end of the last line, including tabs or newlines.
- Bad quotes - a non-matching set of quotes in the file can cause the upload to fail
- Save your CSVs as "Windows CSVs" on Mac (Macs may use an unsupported end of line character)
- Don't use the Finder's "Compress File" on Mac to create a ZIP file for upload as it adds some hidden files to the archive. Use command line utilities on a Mac or avoid compression
Additional Hints
Using a double quote ("") symbol to escape a quotation mark (") inside a given field
This situation occurs when a value inside a field contains quotation marks, which are meant to be entered into the application, such as "Large" Fountain Drink.
Attempting to escape the quotation marks ("Large" Fountain Drink) causes the parser to fail. To properly insert this value with the quotes, use double quotation marks instead (""Large"" Fountain Drink).
Redundant spaces in a CSV file
Make sure to remove extra spaces between values in your CSV file. Commas used to separate values shouldn't be followed by an additional space. For example:
Doesn't work (Note the extra space):
["User_ID", "Name"]
Thanks to your feedback, we have identified these trouble spots, and we are working hard to remove them from the application. Thank you for your patience and support.

Empowering deserving military families with educational support and opportunities.
A case can be made for several players but, it's hard to argue with Rory with his wins including the PGA Championship.
I would certainly agree. In addition the wins where HUGE ones. One Major, and Two Fed Ex PlayOff wins.
I'm going with Rors based on his win at the Honda, PGA win and his performance in the FedEx Cup. With the exception of the four poor starts in July(ish) he had the most consistent year.
Ryan :)
And he has a pretty hot girlfriend !
19holeAnd he has a pretty hot girlfriend !
Really? You're going there Rick?
POY is Rory. TW did nothing in the FedEx Cup of note (no wins). Also zero majors this year. So he falls into the "everybody else category behind Rory.
And we don't know if TW has a hot girlfriend anymore, so we can't do a tie breaker for that one!
Oh no he didn't!
Rory for sure. a major, 2 FedEX cup wins, and a lights out spring. he struggled in the summer, but came back at the end to (in my mind) secure the award for him.

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
As for what I did for this costume... not much unfortunately. I didn't have time to make it, only put it together. I bought the uniform, wig, and hat, but everything else I either put together or had to search for on my own.
I made the sword using a pre-style fake one that I modified. I changed the hilt with clay and paint, made the sheath and then with the help of one of my friends spray painted the sword to give it a nicer, sharper look to it. I found the shoes at my local mall and I loved how they worked with the outfit; totally met his serious nature right on. I used a button down shirt for the inside of the outfit and found gloves for it as well. I also used purple contacts and used make up to make myself appear pale.
Overall, I was really pleased with how this came out.
- Personal Thoughts:
- So... Ayanami... Man, I love this character. It was such a blast to Cosplay as him. I took a ton of photos as him with a good friend of mine and she's going to send me the pictures when she's done with them (she's such an awesome photographer, like, to no end does she rock like that). I also went with a group of 07 Ghost cosplayers (that included Hyuuga, Kuroyuri, and Teito) and we had fun with a photoshoot as well.

First thing that will come to your mind when you see Creme De Menthe is mouthwash. You will think the same when you taste it too, and you're right to do so. It is instantly recognisable, whether it's in or out the bottle given it's distinctive bright like green colour.
Often sold as shots in bars, clubs and pubs, at 25 ABV% it isn't too bad to the taste and is bearable to drink straight. It has a very distinctive mint flavour which is ideal for those who don't like the actual taste of alcohol with whatever they're drinking.
Despite being considered a spirit, it's a drink that you can shot and not have a too horrible an after feeling in your throat. It tastes great when mixed with lemonade. It's appearance is very appealing to those who don't know what it is, often inclining them to give it a go, and very often they are satisfied with their curiosity. I have seen this happen many a time in pubs.
Pricewise, like many alcoholic beverages it varies wherever you go. If you were to buy a shot or a measure from a pub or club, it will probably be slightly cheaper than a shot of say vodka or whisky, only by about 30p or so. The cheapest I've paid for a shot is £2 but I have paid as much as £3 in the more expensive pubs. For a bottle, well if you were to go for mint creme de menthe, 50cl would cost you about around the £10 mark, with prices literaly varying from as low as £8.99 to as much as £12.
My personal opinion of Creme de Menthe is positive. I like the minty mouthwash-like taste. I also like the aftertaste in my mouth afterwards. I'm not a fan of shots et cetera but this is one of those drinks that you can shot no problem. Therefore if you're looking for something different to try, give Creme de Menthe ago, after all it isn't all that bad.

I recently offered a friend a long list of potential eateries we should visit on our next trip to London, out of the list these two were picked out as the ones we should most consider. I have been to Arbutus before, and Pied a Terre but not L'Autre. There wil be four of us attending on a Friday Lunch, and I suspect aiming for the set menus. Now both seem to offer two choices, and while Arbutus is a little cheaper I wonder if Autre may be slightly more relaxed and lend itself to a quieter lunch (I remember Arbutus being very noisy)? one in the party would like fish, either particularly good at cooking this?
Any thoughts greatly appreciated

Now Reading
CFL.ca Staff#CFLKickoff
WINNIPEG — With over two decades of both playing and coaching under his belt, Mike O'Shea will finally get his chance to run his own football team.
Thanks to his reputation as being a tough, sturdy, hard-nosed player, O'Shea has garnered the respect of both his teammates and his opponents over the span of his lengthy CFL career.
Today, with just hours until he makes his debut as head coach of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, some of those teammates, colleagues and opponents explain why O'Shea should be a successful CFL sideline boss, with their words often pointing to his character, and respected off-field demeanor.
"Mike O'Shea is one of the few people in the world that I would really love to have as a son. He's one of those guys that does all the things that you want to, plus five more things. He's one of the special people in the world that I've had the privilege of coaching."– Rich Stubler, Former Defensive Coordinator (2004-08)
"Mike O'Shea is going to lead by example. He expected the best from himself as a player, and it's going to be the same thing as a coach. I think he's going to hold everyone accountable for what they're supposed to do, because that's exactly how he played. Best of wishes to him, he's a special special man."– Don Matthews, Head Coach (1996-98, 2008)
"No nonsense player that always gave his best both on and off the field a professional, a natural leader, people follow him. He will be a asset to his team, community and the CFL…I loved working with Mike." – Adam Rita, General Manager (2003-10)
"Mike lead by example. He never had to say much because all you had to do was see him practice and play the game and you just knew you had to raise your level. Certain players played with heart and he was one of them and from the time he got to Toronto it was always about getting to the Grey cup and winning."– Robert Drummond, Teammate (1996-1997)
"Mike O'shea was the most genuine and authentic teammate I've played with and Im sure I speak for many others as well who's been on the same roster as Osh. He understood his strengths and areas that need to be improved as a player, assistant Coach and most importantly within the scheme role on the team in general and wasn't afraid to share that.
"Osh is 100% dialed in on the smallest of details that later leads to big results. His toughness and feistiness is that of a great Hockey defenseman. It's without question that Osh will succeed in Winnepeg; he doesn't know any better and he will only surround himself around people that rival his desire to constantly seek perfection. Me knowing Osh and lining up alongside of him for 7 years; I know he will shrug off the comments and stay in the moment because thats whats important to him.– Michael Fletcher, Teammate (2003-2008)
"I don't know if there are many people that I know that are as intense and have that fierce competitive fire that Mike O'Shea has. On the field and off the field, he wants to win. And when you couple that with the intelligence and the understanding of the game, you're goiong to win football games. He understands what it takes, he's always had a comprehensive approach to the game. And he carried that forward to his coordinating position, and no question he'll coninue to carry that forward as a head coach…because of that, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers will win football games.– Jeff Johnson, Teammate (2002-08), Coached (2009-13)"Mike O'Shea was the most selfless athlete I have played with at any level. He was willing at any moment to sacrifice fame, personal statistics and even his health if it would help our special teams or defence make the most routine plays. In turn he helped me to become a more selfless player which is the ultimate example of leadership." – Jordan Younger, Teammate (2004-08), Coached (2009-12)
"Mike knows what it takes to win in this league, and he has done that as both a player and as a coach. He is highly respected by his peers, and someone we feel is the right fit for what we are trying to build here. We're thrilled to have Coach O'Shea on board."– Kyle Walters, General Manager (Current)
"Knowing Osh, he'll have those guys ready to play. It was sad to see him go but we're all happy for his opportunity. They're going to want to play for him, they're going to want to win for him so we've got to bring our best."– Chad Owens, Coached, (2010-13)
"Coach O'Shea is a great player's coach and guys play hard for him. They're going to come out physical, they're going to come out fast, they're going to come out playing great teams." – Shane Horton, Coached (2013) With files from The Canadian Press

BELLINGHAM, Wash., Nov. 17 (UPI) -- Having a supportive teacher can make all the difference for a student who has transferred to a new school, U.S. researchers said.
Researchers at Western Washington University in Bellingham, Wash., and the University of Washington in Seattle said moving during the elementary school years may contribute to disengagement with school just before the significant changes of adolescence.
"Our findings support the notion that school changes can negatively affect children, but we also show that supportive social contact with a teacher and peers can influence both academic and behavioral outcomes," lead author Diana H. Gruman of Western Washington University said in the statement. "We suggest that teachers can play a critical role in mitigating the negative effects of mobility through their own caring response and by addressing the peer acceptance of newcomers in the classroom."
The researchers tracked 1,040 elementary school students for four years to determine how moving disrupts children's attitudes toward school and their classroom behavior.
The study, published in the journal Child Development, found that not all mobile students suffer negative consequences. Teachers who were supportive of mobile students had an especially strong influence on their attitudes toward school, the study said.
In addition, teacher support had a positive influence on children's behavior in the classroom.

OLYMPIA FIELDS, Ill. - It doesn't matter if Tom Watson doesn't win this U.S. Open.
At 53 years old, everybody knows it is unlikely, and even with his 72 on Friday, reality moves front and center with confirmation that it would be unthinkable for a man who has seen as many birthdays as he has could win. Yet, he remains in contention.
Whatever, it is extraordinary fun while it lasts. To see his name atop the leaderboard caused recall of inspirational images from the past. It makes you revisit his remarkable moments on the PGA Tour, winning, in addition to the U.S. Open, two Masters and five British Opens.
more Smith columns
For those following him as he scored a 5-under 65 on opening day and again in the second round, there was as much sentiment for his ailing caddy, Bruce Edwards, as there was for a man who now plies his trade on the Champions Tour.
Edwards is up to his caddy assignment in what may well be his last major. Stricken with Lou Gehrig's disease, Edwards has been with Watson for all of the champion's great moments. Watson is paying the cost of Edwards' medical expenses. Their bond has never been stronger.
It would take a miracle for Edwards to find a cure for his illness, a far greater challenge than it would be for Watson to claim victory.
Even so, we can dream on. Medical science can do so much. Let it be, not just for Bruce but for all who have Lou Gehrig's disease.
As they headed out for the second round, memories of Watson's sterling career came poignantly in focus.
In all probability Watson failed to win the Open more than once due to a lack of accuracy often the tee. That didn't matter so much in his prime in that he could make up for stray drives with his deadly putter. When advancing age robbed him of that remarkable touch, winning became much more difficult.
His great moment in the Open came at Pebble Beach in 1982.
In the final round, Jack Nicklaus played just ahead of Watson and had finished. It certainly appeared that Nicklaus would become the first man to win the Open five times.
It became more likely when Watson, on the 17th, hit his shot long into the rough.
Bogey or worse seemed likely, but he chipped in for birdie, the ball hitting the flagstick squarely and dropping down into the hole.
Watson began dancing on the green. It wasn't until he reached the press tent that he revealed what had taken place after the ball fell into the cup.
Prior to the shot, he had told ABC he would chip the ball in and was in a moment of ecstasy, said to his caddy, ''I told you.''
Nicklaus waited at the hole, which Watson also birdied, and said, ''I'm going to get you yet.''
Tom Watson is not likely to take first place this weekend, but it was an uplifting experience to see him in the company of his failing caddy, taking bows for a couple of days.

You just need a freshly formatted SD card and the app pack from the guide.
As the title says, I lost my white SD card after finishing mauifrogs tutorial that worked great. Now trying to figure out if I have to completely re-do the tutorial with a new SD card, or if I can buy a blank SD card and just download certain files (most of which I still have on my computers hard drive). Does anyone have experience with this????
You just need a freshly formatted SD card and the app pack from the guide.
I had to do this yesterday actually, because mine went corrupt. You can just download the App Pack like nightstah said and be good to go. If you plan on using BootMii after this then I would rerun the HackMii installer and have it set up the SD card for BootMii. There might be an easier way to do it, but I haven't found it yet.

Go Amazon Prime (free 2 day shipping regardless of dollar amount and access to the library for streaming).
no way? sweet i didnt know what that prime was..thanks i hope it works i'm about to dowload the files and try it out. is it the modpack.zip or is there several different downloads I need? I remember all the files i downloaded during softmod but I didn't know which ones went on the wii and which ones i just needed on the card lol
After looking again, I can't tell, but I think I was wrong in my last post. Now, it seems like I might need to download the app pack called ap-v5.zip, because right underneath that it says "none of which will work if you don't extract these files to your sd card". So am I getting hotter or colder? haha
Yep that's the one.

HENDERSON CO. (KYTX) - A Henderson County 11-year-old is recovering in a Dallas hospital after accidentally being shot by another child.
The shooting happened around 1:30 Thursday afternoon just off FM 59 in the Cross Roads Community.
Law enforcement isn't releasing the child's name, however they are saying the child was shot by another child who lived at the home. It's not clear how or if the two have family relation.
Sheriff Ray Nutt said the child is in stable condition. In the meantime, as with any child involved shootings, CPS is also investigating. There is no word on whether or not the child's parents/guardians will face any charges.

With five goals and four assists, Lamar Neagle is having a good start to the 2014 season. On Saturday, he scored the game-winner as Sounders FC topped the Chicago Fire 3-2, earning Neagle a spot on the MLSsoccer.com Team of the Week for the first time this season.
Neagle is fast-approaching his career-best stats from 2013 when he tallied eight goals and four assists, as he helped Seattle go into the World Cup break with a league-best 10-3-2 record.
He was joined on Team of the Week by goalkeeper Luis Robles (New York Red Bulls); defenders Carlos Bocanegra (Chivas USA), Michael Parkhurst (Columbus Crew), Kevin Ellis (Sporting Kansas City) and Nick Hagglund (Toronto FC); midfielders Fabian Castillo (FC Dallas), Cristian Maidana (Philadelphia Union) and Harrison Shipp (Chicago Fire); and forwards Fanendo Adi (Portland Timbers) and Erik Hurtado (Vancouver Whitecaps FC).
Neagle is the seventh Sounders FC player to earn Team of the Week honors.
Sounders FC's representatives on Team of the Week have been:
Week 1: DeAndre Yedlin.
Week 3: Djimi Traore.
Week 5: Clint Dempsey.
Week 6: Clint Dempsey, Sigi Schmid.
Week 7: Obafemi Martins, Chad Marshall.
Week 8: Clint Dempsey, Sigi Schmid.
Week 9: Chad Marshall.
Week 11: Obafemi Martins.
Week 13: Marco Pappa, Sigi Schmid.
Week 14: Lamar Neagle.
Last year, Neagle played in the United Way of King County's All-Star Softball Classic for Homeless Youth and this year he is bringing along Osvaldo Alonso. However, the Sounders FC teammates will be on opposite sides of the diamond for the June 21 game at Safeco Field.
Neagle will play alongside former Sonics All-Star Shawn Kemp, longtime Mariners first baseman Alvin Davis and Seahawks Super Bowl champion defensive lineman Cliff Avril on a team led by Mariners legends Jay Buhner and Edgar Martinez. Alonso, meanwhile, is on Dan Wilson's team along with NBA Hall of Famer Gary Payton, Seahawks wide receiver and Super Bowl champion Jermaine Kearse as well as former Mariner Julio Cruz and former Sonic Slick Watts.
For tickets to the game, visit www.uwkc.org.
It was an emotional night for Obafemi Martins on Saturday and Sounders FC saw the best and worst of those emotions, as Martins scored two goals, but was also shown a red card.
After he was left off Nigeria's World Cup roster, Martins declared that he would play his own World Cup with the Sounders. However, a friendly on Saturday between the U.S. and Nigeria may have opened the wounds of being left off the squad and Martins came out on fire against Chicago.
By the 38th minute he had two goals and nearly scored on one earlier opportunity. However, he was shown a red card in the 42nd minute for what referee Chris Penso deemed violent conduct.
"Martins was sent off after striking an opponent in the head," Penso said in a statement after the match.
"I thought Oba was playing well. I thought he was upset with himself for missing the first breakaway that he had and maybe that carried over into a boiling point with him," Sounders FC Head Coach Sigi Schmid said. "It was probably an emotional day for him watching Nigeria play without him and I know that impacted him. He always wants to play well and he always wants to help us win and he does that with his goal scoring. Unfortunately now we're going to miss him in the D.C. game."
Since the announcement of Nigeria's roster, Martins had four goals and two assists in six matches.
This week on Seattle Soccer Talk on Sports Radio 950 KJR, Mike Gastineau will be joined by Marcus Hahnemann and Ross Fletcher. The weekly show will broadcast from the Market Arms in Ballard and can be heard on Sports Radio 950 KJR from 7-8 pm on Monday, rescheduling because of a conflict with the NBA Finals on KJR on Tuesday. It will also be available to hear via podcast after the conclusion of the show at www.sportsradiokjr.com/sst.
Rave Report - Neagle makes Team of the Week
