NEW YORK, July 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved BOOSTRIX® [Tetanus Toxoid, Reduced Diphtheria Toxoid, and Acellular Pertussis Vaccine, Adsorbed (Tdap)] for use in adults 65 years of age and older for active booster immunization against tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (whooping cough). This approval makes BOOSTRIX the first Tdap vaccine approved for use in this age group. With this expanded indication, BOOSTRIX is now approved for use as a single dose in individuals 10 years of age and older – the broadest age range for any Tdap vaccine.
See content from GlaxoSmithKline at: http://inr.synapticdigital.com/gsk/boostrix/ [1]
The approval of BOOSTRIX for use in adults 65 years of age and older was based on two clinical trials in which more than 1,100 U.S. subjects received BOOSTRIX.
"A growing segment of our population, adults aged 65 and older, can now help protect themselves from whooping cough, a serious and highly contagious respiratory disease," said Leonard Friedland, Vice President, Clinical and Medical Affairs, North America, GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals. "Although many people may have been vaccinated against whooping cough as children, immunity can wear off over time. Adults, including those aged 65 and older, should speak with their health-care providers to make sure their vaccinations are up to date and to discuss the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) recommendations for preventing tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis."
Whooping cough is one of the most commonly occurring vaccine-preventable diseases in the U.S.
In 2010, the State of California declared a whooping cough epidemic. Several other states, including Michigan, Ohio, New York and Pennsylvania, reported increases in cases in 2010 compared to 2009. One study estimates that pertussis may affect as many

Central Missouri Foster Care and Adoption Association (CMFCAA) is hosting a Big Surf swimwear drive event Saturday, June 22, to benefit foster children. For more information about purchasing tickets, people can call CMFCAA's Resource Center at 573-298-0258.
CMFCAA facilitates a clothing closet where foster families may find gently used items. However, they are not allowed to accept used swimwear.
"The need for swimwear is not a need people often identify with foster care," says DeAnna Alonso, executive director of CMFCAA, "When these kids receive a gift, such as a new swimsuit, it means a lot to them. They know someone thought about them, and it's something they can call their own."
StorageMart will collect new swimwear during the month of May at any self storage location in Columbia or Jefferson City. Swim-wear may be dropped off during office hours.
CMFCAA encourages donation of new swimwear in all sizes from infant to toddler to teen, for boys and girls.

- Contents: iPad mini with Retina display, Lightning to USB Cable & USB Power Adapter
Wi-Fi model:
Uses high-speed Wi-Fi networking to connect to the Internet. It's ideal if you have a wireless Internet router in your home or if you'll be using your iPad mini near a wireless hotspot in a coffee shop or school library, for example. There are Wi-Fi hotspots nearly everywhere around the world — iPad mini with Wi-Fi finds them automatically.
Every little bit as amazing.
Any way you look at it, iPad mini is just incredible. And the stunning Retina display is only the beginning. With a new A7 chip, advanced wireless and powerful apps - all beautifully integrated with iOS 7 - iPad mini with Retina display lets you do more than you ever imagined. Feature for feature, it's identical to iPad Air in every way. Except for its super-portable, hold-it-in-one-hand, still-just-right mini size.
7.9-inch Retina display. 4x the pixels. 1x the size.
Now iPad mini looks even more brilliant in your hand. The Retina display has over 3.1 million pixels - a million more than an HDTV. That's a 2048x1536 resolution, four times the resolution of the previous-generation iPad mini. In fact, the pixels are so close together, your eyes can't distinguish them. So photos and videos show incredible detail and text is razor sharp. Because the best pixels are the ones you never see.
Thin and light design. We fitted more in, but it still sits perfectly in your hand.
We packed so many incredible new features inside iPad mini. It has a stunning Retina display, the incredibly powerful A7 chip, advanced wireless technologies and more. Yet it's still thin and light (and mini). It's just 7.5mm thin and weighs less than 350g. So while you can do even more, you won't feel like you're holding any more.
Incredible performance. Mini is even mightier.
The new Apple-designed A7 chip brings 64-bit desktop-class architecture to iPad. That means up to 4x the CPU speed and up to 8x the graphics performance for everything you do. And still up to 10 hours of battery life to study, play, build and create whatever you want, whenever you want. *1
A7 chip
The A7 chip takes iPad to new heights of power and speed. Thanks to the A7 chip, apps run faster. Games are more responsive. And everything you do with iPad mini feels quicker, because it is quicker. Up to four times as quick, in fact. But that's just the start. It also supports OpenGL ES version 3.0, enabling detailed graphics and visual effects once possible only on desktop computers and games consoles. And the A7 chip features 64-bit architecture, opening the door for even more robust and powerful apps. Which means even more possibilities for what you can do with iPad mini.
M7 motion coprocessor
iPad mini was designed to be on the move. That's why the M7 coprocessor makes so much sense. It measures motion from your iPad mini by pulling data from the accelerometer, gyroscope and compass. So your apps can give you a better experience based on the movement of your iPad mini. It's a task that would normally fall to the A7 chip. But M7 is more efficient at it, which saves on power.
Same great battery life
iPad mini is powerful, but not power hungry. Even though it's up to four times as fast as the previous-generation iPad mini, it still gives you the same incredible 10-hour battery life.*1 That's because the A7 chip isn't just more powerful, it's also more efficient. So no matter where you go with iPad mini, you'll have the battery power to go even further.
Ultra-fast Wi-Fi
iPad mini gives you up to twice the Wi-Fi performance thanks to two antennas and MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) technology. With dual-band (2.4GHz and 5GHz) 802.11n Wi-Fi and MIMO, download speeds can reach up to 300 Mbps - double the data rate of the previous-generation iPad mini. So now when you want to download a film, share photos or documents with AirDrop, or just browse the web, your connection is even faster than before.
Great apps included. Comes ready to work. And play.
iPad mini is the perfect everyday companion. Because it comes with apps that help you do the everyday things you love to do, like check your email, talk to Mum over FaceTime or consult Siri to settle a bet. And now iPhoto, iMovie, GarageBand, Pages, Numbers and Keynote are free with iPad mini.*3 So you can write the next great novel, nail your presentation and compose a score for your home movie - all from your iPad mini. And all these apps are optimised for 64-bit architecture. So they run smoothly and powerfully and make iPad mini - and you - more capable than ever. From the moment you turn it on.
App Store. Over 475,000 adventures await.
Plan a road trip. Study whale migration. Draw blueprints for a building. Or repel a zombie invasion. For anything and everything you do, there's an iPad app. And new ones are always being added in the App Store. iPad apps are so much easier to use and love, because they aren't just stretched-out phone apps. They feel like they're made for iPad - because they are made for iPad. They take advantage of every pixel on the Retina display and leverage technologies like the gyroscope, accelerometer and compass. And with the incredible potential of 64-bit architecture, this is just the beginning for what you'll be able to do (and explore, and study, and draw, and zap) with iPad mini.
FaceTime HD camera
Sometimes it's nice to put a face to the conversation. And with FaceTime video calls on iPad mini, your conversations never looked better. Make a video call over Wi-Fi or a mobile network and see (or show) every expression on the beautiful display.*4 And now the FaceTime HD camera features a next-generation backside illumination sensor with bigger pixels. Which brightens up all your FaceTime chats, selfies and group Photo Booth shots, even in low-light situations.
5MP iSight camera
We think about what goes into a great shot, so you don't have to. The 5-megapixel iSight camera on iPad mini was designed to help you capture all of life's moments at a moment's notice. Use the Retina display as an easy viewfinder to frame the perfect shot. And quickly swipe between capturing stills or 1080p HD video. Every time you shoot, the image signal processor in the A7 chip works with the camera to make a ton of adjustments and deliver a great picture or video - automatically. You don't have to think about anything other than who you're going to share the moment with.
iPad mini and iOS 7. Designed to bring out the best in each other.
Because iOS 7 was designed for iPad mini, everything not only looks beautiful, it runs beautifully. And iOS 7 introduces great new features, such as smarter multitasking, AirDrop and Control Centre, that make the things you do every day even easier, faster and more enjoyable. It's everything you love about iOS. Made even easier to love.

Jacksonville left no doubt Wednesday night why it is the top-ranked 3-A team in the state.
Jacksonville left no doubt Wednesday night why it is the top-ranked 3-A team in the state.
Sophomore C.J. Sparks scored 3 goals to help the Cardinals pull away for a 7-2 victory over White Oak in a game featuring the top two teams in the N.C. Soccer Coaches Association 3-A ranking.
As if this game between the Coastal 3-A Conference rivals needed any extra incentive, Jacksonville entered No. 1 and White Oak No. 2 in the poll, which was released Sunday.
However, the Cardinals (12-1, 7-0) managed to weather the Vikings� early possession advantage to extend its 15-game unbeaten streak over White Oak (12-1, 6-1), dating back to the 2005 regular-season finale.
�I thought, overall, the opportunities we had, we took advantage of tonight,� Jacksonville coach Dave Miller said. �That�s the difference in the score.�
Sparks, a forward, once again led the Cardinals� attack, scoring both of Jacksonville�s first-half goals. He now has 13 goals in the last four games.
�I think our counter attack was pretty important today,� Sparks said. �After we won the ball, defensively we would attack as quickly as possible and get down the line and finish.�
Junior Tyler Moore added a pair of goals and senior Aaron Sparks had a goal along with 2 assists to C.J. Sparks, his little brother. The Cardinals� Cormick Brennan added a penalty kick goal to give his squad a 7-1 lead.
�Jacksonville is very technically sound and they played well. They were the better team,� White Oak coach Buddy Carroll said. �We didn�t show up to play the way I know we can play. We didn�t do a great job possessing the ball in this game. The difference in this game is that they capitalized on the opportunities they had and we didn�t.�
Jacksonville struck first with 16:39 left in the first half, going up 1-0 when C.J. Sparks played a short diagonal pass from Aaron Sparks and delivered a shot from the right side of the 18-yard box over White Oak goalkeeper Josh Helms.
Nearly 10 minutes later, C.J. Sparks scored his second goal, this one off a long diagonal pass from Aaron Sparks.
From there it was all Jacksonville, not only on the scoreboard, but also in possession.
�We moved the ball and I thought we did a decent job of changing the point of attack,� Miller said. �We really found the seams and played up top to get combinations to get behind.�
Already leading 3-1, the Cardinals put the game away with three goals in a seven-minute span early in the second half. Moore booted the first two goals in the stretch, with both scores coming after Jacksonville free kicks were blocked by Helms.
Aaron Sparks later scored off an assist from Warren Washington.
�We felt if we put them away early then we could keep scoring,� Jacksonville senior defender Blake Heatherly said. �That�s what we did.�
Despite being allowing two goals in the first 40 minutes, the Vikings had the better play in the first 15 minutes and had their chances to score.
In the eighth minute, White Oak�s Troy Jurney had a point-blank shot with Jacksonville goalie Zach McCracken out of position, but pushed it wide right. About five minutes later, the Vikings� Victor Bernard had a 1v1 shot blocked by McCracken.
Then with Jacksonville leading 2-0 with six minutes left in the opening half, Jurney had a 1-on-1 shot blocked by McCracken, who ended with 3 saves.
�It�s a different game if we don�t miss those three opportunities early on,� Carroll said. �I think it did (deflate White Oak) a little bit. I said it before that we needed to make sure we didn�t miss quality opportunities early. It came back to bite us.�
Miller called McCracken�s save on Jurney�s second point-blank look was big.
�Zach came up with a big save,� he said. �A goal makes it 1-1 and we are back in a battle and they (Vikings) ride the emotion again. And who knows what happens?�
White Oak did find the net twice as senior Gabe Aquino scored to cut Jacksonville�s lead to 3-1 with 36:45 left after a corner kick from Gabe Krueger. The score came just 1:05 after Moore�s first goal. The Vikings� Kevin Gonzalez scored his team�s final goal with two seconds left after another corner kick.
Still, White Oak was unable to score on the attack.
�The pressure was a lot better and our composure in the back (was key),� Heatherly said. �We kept our shape in the back well, which is something we�ve had trouble with.�
Limiting the touches from White Oak�s forwards played in Jacksonville�s favor.
�We just did a good job of keeping them in front,� Miller said. �We limited their opportunities to get behind. We did a good job on defense really staying with our game plan.�
But while pleased with his team�s overall performance, Miller didn�t get took overly excited about the big victory. He understands round two of the Cardinals-Vikings series this season will be Oct. 25 at Jacksonville, with a third meeting in the playoffs always a possibility.
Jacksonville went 2-0-1 last year against White Oak with the second win coming in the second round of the NCHSAA 3-A playoffs.
�We will see them again in the last game of the season and more likely we will end up playing each other in the playoffs,� Miller said. �But I hope there�s a message here. You got to come to play.�

Andy Warhol Portraits
London : Phaidon Press Limited, 2007
To the general public, Andy Warhol is known as a painter of famous faces - from Liz and Marilyn to his own ever-changing self-portrait. Less familiar are the portraits Warhol made through his career of socialites, art dealers, collectors, politicians, and a variety of contemporary cult figures, mostly commissioned work that helped finance his other wide-ranging artistic activities.
Featuring more than 300 portraits made from the early 1960s until the artist's death in 1987 Andy Warhol Portraits is the first book to provide a comprehensive view of this overlooked body of work, which includes such well-known twentieth-century icons as Jackie Kennedy, Mick Jagger, Liza Minelli, and Queen Elizabeth, as well as many paintings largely unknown even to avid Warhol followers. With contextualizing essays by longtime Warhol collaborator Tony Shafrazi and art critics Carter Ratcliff and Robert Rosenblum, Andy Warhol Portraits is a facebook of the amazing cast of characters that populated Warhol's fascinating, star-studded, and, at times, sordid world.

Location & Directions
Udaipur, Rajasthan, India
The Oberoi Udaivilas, is located on the banks of Lake Pichola in Udaipur, Rajasthan, a Northwest province of India. Udaipur is surrounded by the ancient Aravalli Mountains and set on the edge of three lakes. The resort is about 4 kilometers from the city center (Court Square).
When to go
Rajasthan is known as the desert state. It is largely hot and dry throughout the year, making it a great destination to get away from European winters.
Summer in Rajasthan extends from April to June. It is s the hottest season, with temperatures ranging from 32 degree C to 45 degree C, so not ideal for travel, although early April is a good time to get cheaper rates if you dont mind the temperature in the high 30s. In western Rajasthan the temperature may reach at high as 45 degree C, particularly in May and June so we'd suggest avoiding Jaisalmer and the Thar Desert at this time.
The second season - technically the "Monsoon" (although in reality Rajasthan never receives much rainfall) extends from July to September. The temperature drops slightly, and humidity increases. 90% of the rain Rajasthan can expect occurs during this period. Lakes and rivers will be higher from mountain run-off and flowers and grasses come to life, bringing added color to the landscape.
The Post-monsoon period is from October to November. The average maximum temperature is 33 degree C to 38 degree C, and the minimum is between 18 degree C and 20 degree C. The official "season" for hotels in Rajasthan starts in October. It's a great time to travel - warm and sunny during and perfect for exploring and relaxing.
The fourth season is "winter", and runs from December to March. With day time temperatures still in the high 20's during the day this a very popular time to travel. Hotels are at the their busiest over the Christmas and new year period. Be aware though that December and January can have very cool mornings and evening and we suggest taking some warm clothing. Whilst temperatures in the desert areas are always hot in the daytime, they become some of the coolest areas of the state once the sun goes down. It's also fairly standard to expect some fog in the major cities of Northern Rajstasthan and Delhi in December and January.

AT LEAST three murder investigations are in line to be reopened after the State Government overhauled its double jeopardy laws.
Police revealed they would examine the cases as Faye Kennedy, whose infant daughter Deidre was abducted and murdered at Ipswich 41 years ago, said she had renewed hope for justice in the unsolved case.
Deidre's law promises justice at last
Mother fights for four decades
Ms Kennedy said she was elated the changes had been dubbed "Deidre's Law".
"We said from the start this would be her law," she told The Courier-Mail.
Queensland previously changed double jeopardy to allow people to be charged again after acquittal if there was new and compelling evidence, but only for cases after October 2007.
Attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie will now make the changes retrospective, allowing police to recharge suspects in historic cases such as Deidre's murder. Homicide squad Detective Inspector Damien Hansen said the changes could prompt several cases to be reopened initially.
"We continually review all cold cases. They continue to be investigated," he said.
"We look at what new evidence is available. Advances in technology, advances in forensics, give us new evidence.
"We will then look at it in light of the new legislation and work out whether we can use this legislation to reopen cases.
"There is probably at least three at this stage."
He declined to say if the murder of 17-month-old Deidre in 1973 was one, but said police could take a new look at cases from the era.
"When you look at cases in the '70s you're looking at prior to DNA, prior to a lot of things we really rely upon now for a conviction," he said.
Former RAAF recruit Raymond Carroll, 59, who maintains his innocence, was convicted in 1985 of Deidre's murder but it was overturned on appeal.
In 2000, a jury jailed him for perjury after finding he lied when he denied murdering Deidre, but the Court of Appeal overturned the conviction on the grounds it was an abuse of process and the verdict was unsafe.
The High Court rejected a State Government appeal, finding there was a breach of double jeopardy protections which prevents a person being tried again for the same crime after acquittal.
Queensland Bar Association president Peter Davis, QC, said double jeopardy protections were designed to prevent the state wielding its power unfairly against lesser resourced defendants. "As you continue to erode it the opportunities for oppression enlargen," he said.
Mr Davis, who represented Carroll in his perjury trial and appeals, said the Court of Appeal found the perjury trial evidence was insufficient. "I know of no evidence beyond what was run in his perjury trial," he said.
Homicide Victims' Support Group manager Ross Thompson said he had "several members this will apply to".

Around the Rink
Wouldn't it be ironic if the weather in Calgary was too cold for the Heritage Classic on Sunday after being too warm for the Winter Classic on New Year's Day? Crazy.
-- The Maple Leafs got a great haul for Tomas Kaberle, but if I'm a Joe Colborne fantasy owner I have to be disappointed he's going to Toronto – and I know at least one Colborne owner.
-- Erik Johnson proves that not even No. 1 overall defensemen project linearly. He's slumped this year, but he's just 22. It almost always takes a while for blueliners to break out, just so happens it won't be with St. Louis for this ex-Bluesliner.
-- It's hard to make heads or tails out of the Craig Anderson/Brian Elliott trade. There's little reason to pick up either goalie, given the uncertainty surrounding both teams. Neither Anderson nor Elliott has played well this year, though both could be capable netminders on decent teams.
-- Peter Mueller is owned in 33 percent of Yahoo! leagues. Whether that's a relevant number based on his chances of coming back in the final eight weeks is hard to say, but the number is too high, in my opinion. Part of that 33 percent probably comes from fantasy team owners who haven't looked at their team since October.
-- Fellow Daily Puck writer, Anthony Fiorentino, doesn't think his Devils have a chance in hell of making the playoffs. Here's the breakdown. If New Jersey gains 36 points in its last 24 games, then they'll match the final 88-point totals of last year's seventh and eighth seeds. That means the Devils have to go 18-6 or 16-4-4, for example, to reach the magic number. They're 14-1-2 in their last 17, so we'll see what happens.
-- Wonder if Vancouver will wait out its injuries on the blue line or make a move? Pittsburgh has a healthy, offensive defenseman in Alex Goligoski to dangle.
-- Speaking of the Penguins, GM Ray Shero must factor in Sidney Crosby when considering trades. Does he think Crosby will come back this year? Conventional wisdom dictates he'll sit tight if he doesn't think No. 87's coming back. The team would have a tough time making a deep run without both Crosby and Malkin, especially with Boston and Philadelphia strengthening their squads.
Who's Hot
Anton Stralman – He's got four points and a plus-5 rating in his last six games. Stralman has more hits (16) during that span than in his prior 33 contests and makes for a nice pump-and-dump pickup.
Niklas Backstrom – He has five wins, a 1.75 GAA and a .941 save percentage since late January. Looks like the games off to rest his knee has paid dividends.
Who's Not
Dwayne Roloson continues to pile up wins, but when he's bad, he's really bad. Rolly's got a 2.84 GAA and a .904 save percentage over the last 30 days, neither of which helps.
Henrik Lundqvist is another netminder not helping out much. He's got a 2.97 GAA and a .890 save percentage the last month. Of course, he's too good to sit, and he played well Friday. No suggestion to cut him, just pointing out he isn't playing well.
Cam Fowler's a great rookie, but is it possible that he can be a minus-7 in the two games since I traded for him?
Recommended Pickup
Provided Rich Peverley keeps up his scoring pace he should be usable in fantasy formats. Peverley has 14 goals and 34 points in 59 games but carries a minus-16 rating. The former Thrasher figures to drop the porous plus-minus tag with the Bruins.
Probable Starting Goalies
Atlanta (Ondrej Pavelec) vs. Edmonton (Nikolai Khabibulin), 3:30 p.m.
New Jersey (Johan Hedberg) vs. Carolina (Cam Ward), 7 p.m.

text: I feel so bad for this kid. After all he's been through the past three seasons with one of the worst O-lines in history, he continues to see his GM pass-up any quality OT or OG position players. Carr now has to go into camp, knowing that he will be playing with the same exact line that almost killed him last year. Where is the love CC? Why are the brass of the Texans not trying to save the life of their franchise QB? Are they taking for granted that the kid will continue to rise after each blow? Sooner or later, poor Carr will not be getting up and we can thank CC for that. I love the man, but why haven't they drafted a franchise LT yet?

Update: Shimmer Sheers appear to be out of production. I suggest trying the Lorac product listed, which is not as shimmery, but is a nice luninizer.
I mentioned Neutrogena Shimmer Sheers in my review of Revlon's Cream Blush, so I thought I would post a bit more about it.I find the shimmer sheers to be a pretty good way to add a subtle shimmer anywhere on the face without going overboard. The product is more than a highlighter or luminizing cream, such as LORAC Luminizer because it has some definite color to it. But it is still quite sheer and subtle. I like to use mesmerized, a very light pink shade, on my cheek bones under a generally matte blush. I also have used it on my brow bones. I haven't tried on my lips, but it could work for shimmer there too. I suggest trying it over a lip stain. Overall, it is a fun and inexpensive way to add just a bit of subtle shimmer anywhere you want it.

Padres, Stand Up To Cancer now partners
Padres, Stand Up To Cancer now partners
SAN DIEGO -- The San Diego Padres, who are in first place in the National League West, are also at the forefront of Major League Baseball's fight against cancer. On Friday, the Padres announced their partnership with Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C), an initiative to raise awareness and funds for cancer research. The Padres have set a goal to raise $500,000 for SU2C during the 2010 season. MLB is a founding donor for the initiative, having donated more than $10 million. However, the Padres became the first team to have its own fundraising initiative.
Celebrity ambassador Ray Liotta, star of "Goodfellas" and "Field of Dreams," joined Padres manager Bud Black, Dodgers manager Joe Torre, Padres president Tom Garfinkel, a host of players and SU2C co-founder Laura Ziskin in unveiling the signing walls at PETCO Park on Friday. All fans will be encouraged to sign the wall panels -- located near the home-plate and east-village entrances -- in tribute to friends or family members who have been impacted by cancer. During the final homestand of the season, the outfield wall at PETCO Park will be replaced with this honorary wall. In addition, fans can donate money at the site. "I lost my mother to cancer while I was shooting Goodfellas," said Liotta in addressing the crowd at the Stand Up To Cancer press conference prior to Friday night's matchup with the Dodgers. "It means a lot to me to be part of this cause. I met Laura [Ziskin] at some silly celebrity party. I got to talking to her and she told me what happened to her, and knowing what I had been through, and this was something I wanted to be involved in. "I usually don't do things like this. But now I'm calling myself out on it. Major League Baseball is a part of this, but the San Diego Padres are the first team to give money. This being a competitive field that you are all into, I would like to throw down a challenge to all the other Major League teams to stand up and do the same thing that the San Diego Padres are doing." "When you sign this wall, you're making a statement who you're standing up for and why you're standing up," said Ziskin, who is a Hollywood producer (Spiderman trilogy). "If you choose to also make a donation, 100 percent of donations from the public go to fund and accelerate cancer research. "What we do that is different from any other cancer organization is really two-fold," said Ziskin, who co-founded SU2C with Lisa Paulsen and Sherry Lansing. "One, we make scientists work together. We make them compete against the disease of cancer instead of against each other. So we fund dream teams of scientists across institutions and across disciplines and impacting all kinds of cancer. That research is under way. We've already raised over $100 million and we're spending it, and we also fund innovative research. "And secondly, we will tell you where you're money goes," Ziskin said. "You put a dollar in that box, you will hear from us through our website and through the media what your money is going to pay for." "Today is a special day, a special day for the San Diego Padres and the community," said Garfinkel. "Cancer affects everybody. And what Stand Up To Cancer has done is create dream teams from around the world. One of the members of the pancreatic cancer dream team got up at the owners meeting and said, 'For the first time, we're not competing against each other. We're competing against the disease.' It was just too compelling not to get involved. "Our mission is focused on three things. Winning, first of all, creating a great fan experience and being involved in the community. With this initiative, it shows what we are trying to do in this community for our Live, Learn and Play initiative. And certainly this falls under our 'live' category. "The reality is that cancer hits everybody, it hit home for us recently when one of our own, Dave Roberts, was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. He couldn't be here today, but all of our thoughts are with Dave and his wife, Tricia. They have been an inspiration to all of us with their determination and positive attitude, and Dave is going to fight through this and be fine." Garfinkel also acknowledged another cancer survivor on the Padres in former bullpen coach Mark Merila, who is a part-time aide to third-base coach Glenn Hoffman. "It's unbelievable to be part of this thing," said Merila, who has battled through a brain tumor. "Everyone is affected by this, family or baseball players. It's so great that the Padres are the ones upfront and hopefully the other teams will follow their lead."

Ave of escape, media....
I agree with the last few posts. If your employment causes you to come into direct contact with violent groups or confrontations: EMTs, media, firefighters, unarmed security, etc then you should avoid the scene or relocate to a safe distance.
You shouldn't take risks or put yourself into places where you might get hurt.
The legal or civil issues in these incidents can lead to a lot of problems.
I'd also state that any sworn LE officers who respond will question your motives or actions if you used force(weapons) on a group of people. I've seen many, many altercations where LE officers only listened to the "crowd" or bystanders who may or may not be honest.
In my metro area, a plainclothes LE officer was shot & killed by a bike patrol officer from another large police department during a college sporting event.
The young cop had no other weapons but his issued sidearm. He got into a struggle with several intoxicated college students and drew his Glock pistol.
A bike patrol officer saw the plainclothes police officer & shot him.
The bike officer was cleared of any wrong-doing & the young police officer's widow lost her wrongful death lawsuit against the large city.

Sapne Suhane Ladakpan Ke: Gunjan and Mayank's Honeymoon in the Goa In Mumbai.
On June 26, 2013, 11:13
On June 26, 2013, 11:13
Zee Tv's Sapne Suhane Ladakpann Ke recently concluded their wedding sequence which was one without much drama or fanfare; a pleasant change that. Now that newly-wed couple Gunjan and Mayank are tied in holy matrimony, viewers should expect some romance filled moments between them.
The couple is headed for their honeymoon in Goa. But the rains have proven to be a huge spoilt sport as obviously shooting isn't possible in the torrential Goa rains. Our source close to the channel tells us "We are planning to recreate Goa in Mumbai itself. Manori, Uttan, Aksa Beach and Madh Island will be the Goa-like backdrops to our shoot. Due to the heavy rains in Goa, we cannot go there."
We'd think that this news would be quite a disappointment to the cast and crew but Ankit gera who plays Mayank in the show says "It will be great fun shooting in outdoor locations. I'm looking forward to it. In fact I'm already having a blast."
In the upcoming episodes, apart from the romance between Gunjan and Mayank, there'd be drama on the show too because their family members will go through a huge trauma as their shop will catch fire. Meanwhile, Charu will obviously be plotting to create ruckus in the lives of our new couple.
Looks like there's a lot to look forward to.

The Tampa Bay Lightning (5-2-0 ) take on the Boston Bruins (4-2-0) tonight at the Tampa Bay Times Forum. The Lightnings and Bruins opened the season in Boston on October 3rd and the Bruins skated away with the 3-1 victory.
It marked the Lightnings 6th consecutive loss against the Bruins dating back to a 6-1 Lightning victory at home on March 13,2012. Despite their recent struggles against the Bruins the Lightning have defeated them in three of five and five of their past eight games in Tampa.
Since the opening night loss to the Bruins the Lightning have gone on to win 5 of their last 6 games and a lot of that has to do with the play of goalie Ben Bishop who will be in net when the puck drops tonight.
Of Bishop's play coach Jon Cooper told the Tampa Bay Times,
"I like that he's calm in the net. He's stopping the ones he should, and some of the ones he probably shouldn't. I think in that moment, he let everybody know, he's feeling it, and it's fun to watch. You want your team to be like that, to have a little swag going, I'm a big fan of it."
Cooper has been happy with the first seven games of the season. "If we go 5-2 for every seven games, this is going to be a pretty good year for us." He breaks down the season thus far saying, "our goal tending has been solid, both of them [Bishop and Lindback] have been solid. Our "D" has jumped in the rush for the most part when we've needed them to. Their gaps, their time and space, their giving players for the most part has been excellent. Our neutral zone play we haven't been giving up the odd man rushes as we have in the past and we've been scoring the big goals when we needed them."
Cooper admits that he and the coaches could pick apart the negatives and the team does have holes "but for the most part the guys and their work ethic, their commitment, and their desire kind of has put us to where we are right now. Ultimately, in the end if the guys are laying it on the line for you, you might not win every game but you're going to win a lot more than you lose."

The new Milk Tray Man talks about his favourite holiday destinations
PATRICK McBride is the new Milk Tray Man. Chosen from 20,000 applicants to don the iconic black polo neck, the 39-year-old firefighter from Liverpool is married to Elaine and has a son Will, three.
The new Milk Tray Man Patrick McBride talks about his favourite holidays
What is your Most Memorable Holiday?
I married Elaine in 2010 and at the end of that year we went to the USA for three weeks and spent four days in Las Vegas enjoying the casino lights and over-the-top entertainment.
The highlight was a helicopter trip over the Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon. The picnic we had at the base of the canyon was very peaceful, almost spiritual.
From Vegas we headed to Los Angeles, where we took in the music scene at Sunset Strip and Laurel Canyon.
We then stopped in Hawaii for 10 days, a beautiful contrast to LA with its laid-back style, amazing food and beautiful beaches.
Our last stop was San Francisco; again a city filled with history, from the Golden Gate Bridge to Alcatraz. We loved the people and atmosphere there.
Best holidays for McBride were in the US where he visited Las Vegas
And the Worst?
We chose to go to Fuerteventura for a week in November, It is well-known for being extremely windy at that time of year – and it really didn't disappoint.
At one point the hotel staff had to place sofas in front of the reception doors, because the storm was so violent. We didn't leave the hotel for almost a week and certainly didn't see the sun.
Best Souvenir?
On the big island of Hawaii the national and sacred symbol is the sea turtle and we bought two ornamental ones made from the lava of Mauna Loa, an active volcano on the island.
Having swum and shared the surf with these creatures, we thought they were incredibly peaceful and calming. Hopefully they have the same effect at home.
A helicopter trip over the Hoover Dam was definitely a high light for the Milk Tray Man
Getting to have some fun time with my family is perfect
Best holiday read?
One Day by David Nicholls, which I bought as a holiday read. It was great.
It's a fun, fast-paced emotional journey – great for when you're lounging by the pool or on the beach.
How do you spend your time on holiday?
I love relaxing for a few days somewhere but sometimes that feels like a waste. The world is so accessible now and I think it should be enjoyed.
Seeing and doing lots of things with Will is my idea of fun and activities are a must to keep him entertained.
Where would you revisit?
I would most definitely return to Hawaii but I also can't wait to return to Florida.
I went there before we had Will and it was amazing, especially as in many ways I'm still quite a child myself.
To return with my son and to see how he reacts when he comes face-to-face with his favourite characters would be priceless.
Patrick says he would love to visit Hawaii again
Where Next?
It's classified, as I'm receiving Cadbury Milk Tray missions daily!
I could find myself skiing down black runs in Whistler, swimming with great white sharks in South Africa or bungee-jumping off Kawarau Bridge in New Zealand – all because everyone loves my chocolates.
Other than that, I'd say anywhere with my family – getting to have some fun time with them is perfect.

May your life be filled with happiness Each hour of every day. Rejoice, reflect and remember the Reason for the season. Yes, Jesus was born on Christmas Day. Christ was born to save us. He came to us as a child. Resting in a stable stall. In life he was an example. Showing us how we must live. Telling stories to share with children Making promises of eternal life. Ask and you will be forgiven. Seek and you will find the love he gives so freely. Merry Christmas to each of you! Hope your holidays are filled with everything you desire!
I can handle the cold part of this winter thus far but I am hopeful that the snow and wind stay away for as long as possible. Since my husband injured his back in October, I have tried to assume a few of his chores around the house with the most recent one including the snow blowing. Initially I thought it was kind of fun but now I find myself listening to the forecasts and hoping that the storms stay away for several more weeks. I haven't taken on the challenge of starting the big tractor to blow snow. That just seems too monumental to me.
It is December and that means the busy holiday season has arrived. There is often so much to do and see that sometimes we get lost in activity and forget to enjoy what is all around us. Sometimes it just takes a little extra time and patience to appreciate the season. For example, as you put up those holiday decorations and are getting frustrated, tired and impatient with the results, take a moment to sit back and look around. Before you know it you may find a solution or just decide that you like the results despite the battle.
Watching our area children visit with Santa last night took me back in time a few decades. We had a wonderful turn-out for the yearly event with a line of children and parents stretched nearly out the door at the Community Center. As I looked at that line I remembered standing in a similar line at the Hancock town hall waiting to see Santa. The town hall was actually the former Hancock movie theatre. There were three levels. The theatre was on the main level and above that was a large open meeting room which often held private parties and special events.
I am so relieved to see that the weather is finally cooperating and some of the fall field work is being completed. I know it has been a big worry for many area farmers and those that rely on them for their livelihood. This season has been very unique in many ways. It was abnormally cool all summer and now in the fall it has been extremely wet. It is not only a struggle to harvest the crop but also to get it dry enough to store.
A few years ago, I ran a contest in the newspaper asking readers to submit as many uses for a newspaper that they could think of. We received a lot of great responses and quickly shared the long list of ideas as to how to use a newspaper. However, my daughter and granddaughter added one more to that list this weekend. In recent weeks, Jaedyn has expressed some interest in the potty chair my daughter and son-in-law purchased and placed strategically in their bathroom.
At some point in the mid-1970s, a new invention was hitting the market. The microwave oven, which was actually invented several years before, was finally being sold to private citizens and used in homes for daily cooking. The first microwaves were quite large, slow, expensive, and, in some ways, a bit intimidating. My husband and I were a newly married couple when we decided to take the plunge and invest in a microwave. Since we had limited counter space for the large appliance, we bought a range that had a regular oven on the botton and a microwave on the top.
Dealing with abandoned buildings and abandoned vehicles tends to be an ongoing problem for communities and was part of the discussion for the Hancock City Council on Monday night. After hearing a report from HEDA board member Bruce Malo about possibly replacing some buildings on main street, council went on to discuss another abandoned property, the former Blue Chip Feed elevator and storage shed. The owner of this property has neglected to pay the taxes for several years and thus it has gone back to the county.
Last week I took a couple days off from work and entertained my five year old grandson. My husband and I met our son and grandson midway from the cities on Wednesday night and Tristyn returned home with us to spend some time by the lake. Despite the nasty weather we were able to have a great time and even some big adventures. Thursday was cold and windy, but I had already devised a plan for entertaining Tristyn that day.
If a person loves something or someone enough in life could it be possible to pass on that love after death? To go beyond the grave, so to speak, and fulfill a dream? Through the love, admiration and desire of fourteen friends and family members, a strong commitment and passion has continued for Bonnie Jeitz even after her death on June 8, 2009. According to these friends Bonnie was a wonderful example, true friend, loving wife and mother and an excellent gardener.

action > contact your legislators and the Governor
To find your political district and legislators (who represents you), go to:
The above link is easy to use. Simply enter your address, city, state and zipcode and the site will give you your district and lists your State Representative (MN House) and State Senator (MN Senate). NOTE: The site also lists federal congressmen/women, which is not needed for Minnesota bills — Minnesota state legislators vote on state bills.
For further information, such as House and Senate maps, district information, voting precincts, and more, go to: Geospatial Information
General phone
Another option to find your legislators: If you're in the metro area, call 1-651-296-2146 (House Public Information Services) and asks who represents you based on your address/city/zip. Our of the metro area, call 1-800-657-3550. The '651' number is the House switchboard and they will connect you directly to your Representatives/ or Senator's office.
What to say or write
Legislators want to hear directly from constituents. All accept calls, emails or letters. (Calls work best because not all legislators respond to emails quickly.)
If you call a legislator about a particular bill or issue, the legislator may pick up the phone and you can speak with him or her directly. In most cases, you'll reach the legislator's voicemail (and you can leave a message) or you'll speak with a legislative aide. The aide will take your name and comments. If you haven't called before, just be yourself. Keep it short, yet personal. If you are a constituent of the legislator, it's important to state that fact with the legislator or aide.
IMPORTANT: Some legislators may have already expressed their support for a bill by signing on as the author or as a co-author. To check names of authors and co-authors, go to the MN Legislature website and type in the bill number. You will be lead to a description of that particular bill and details, including co-authors.
Legislator Responses
All legislators vary in how and when they respond to constituents.

AECI officers elected New officers were elected at the October meeting of the board of directors of Arkansas Electric Cooperatives, Inc., due to the retirement of chairman Ronald Moore of Hamburg. They are chairman: Jim Parrish, vice chairman of Craighead Electric; vice chairman: Mitchell Johnson, president/CEO of Ozarks Electric; secretary: Martha Pennington, a director of Ashley-Chicot Electric; and treasurer: Mel Coleman, CEO of North Arkansas Electric. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The 15-pound turkey is 70 percent white meat and 30 percent dark meat. White meat has fewer calories and less fat than dark meat. Only tom turkeys gobble. Hen turkeys make a clicking noise. Jim Parrish Mitchell Johnson Martha Pennington Mel Coleman Run exhaust fans sparingly It's a good idea to install an exhaust hood over your stove and an exhaust fan in every bathroom—before it's time to roast the Thanksgiving turkey or welcome houseguests for the holidays. Running the kitchen fan will help remove cooking smoke and odors. And the bathroom fans will remove steam, which can cause paint on walls and the ceiling to bubble and can even encourage mold growth. Still, you don't want to run those fans for any longer than they're needed. Along with the smoke, odors and steam, the fan whooshes your expensive, heated (or air conditioned) air right out of the house. So turn them on while you're cooking or showering, and turn them right off once the steam or smoke has cleared. Another tip: Check vent openings for grease buildup every couple of months, and have them cleaned if they're dirty. STATEMENT OF OWNERSHIP, MANAGEMENT AND CIRCULATION (Required by 39 U.S.C. 3685).

I just got back from town and the green leaves are already fading a bit and there are more leaves fallen. I might have to cut a new bunch for tomorrow.
They really look nice! Get some lacquer spray, we can sell these along with the rocks!
Hey chickie, I see you ran and left distant cousin 45 times removed for the pan!! Good thinking!
Good question morris. Don't have any lacquer spray on hand. If they fall off before tomorrow, I can just go out and cut some more.
Yep, turkey in the pan. ( :
Oh yeah, the Turkey is in the pan ?
Just a thought. Could you spray them with some kind of a lacquer tu make them last, chickie?
Not sure with the pear leaves chookies. There were 3 under the arrangement this morning. Sassafrass leaves last a long time.
Thank chookies, Celeste and Hanne.
A beautiful bouquet!! Thanks so very much Sandy!
What a cool idea with some branches.. Wonderful colors :)
How long will they last in the vase before the leaves start to drop, chickie? Makes for a perfect arrangement!!
Thank you punkie. Cheaper than flowers.
They make a beautiful bouquet.
Thank you Jack.
yeah, love it!
Thank you morris.
Looks very nice!!
Thank you morris. I was trying to take close-up pics of them and got the idea. Close-up didn't turn out. I have brought sassafras leaves in before.
Aren't you the creative one! Nice arrangement, chickie!
Interesting arrangement, and I like to bring them inside too. The Bradford Pear, as I've said before, is called a "trash tree", and is very short lived and just what Robbie said. They are beautiful in spring and fall, and are abundant around here. Probably because we don't get much ice. We do, however get a lot of wind, and the nurserymen here preach not to plant them.
Thank you so much Ank.
Well I don't know a thing about that Pears. I just know that I love their leaves and your puzzles.
Ya know roseheather, Cleveland Pear rings a bell. The tree I had in northern Illinois was a Bradford Pear and ice or snow knocked the top right out of it. I tried to look it up in my receipts, but couldn't find it. But I do remember going to the local nursery here and that is where I first learned of the Cleveland Pear.
Thank you for your comments roseheather and gemstone.
I had never heard of the Bradford Pear until someone mentioned it on a previous puzzle...guess there aren't too many in the "north". Interesting to read Robbie's research and I agree...beautiful foliage.
Robbiel and Chickiemama --
I just read Robbiel's post and the Bradford pear is not a good one for the northern parts of the US, however, there is another variety of the beautiful pear tree and it is the Cleveland Select.
My nephew put me wise to this one because it has been "engineered", so to speak, to withstand wind and weather better than the Brandford Pear. My nephew lives near Rochester, NY where there is usually a lot of snow and gusty winds. Our town, in the western Great Lakes area, is putting the Cleveland Select into our downtown area. Thought you might like this info too. ; )
Beautiful! Thank you.
Thank you snooker.
Thank you for your research Robbie. I appreciate all that I learn through you. I know what you are saying. The slightest amount of ice will knock out the middle. I will enjoy it as long as it survives. They are all over here and keep the show going when everything else has lost it's leaves in the Fall. I am happy for you to comment on my puzzles anytime you want.
Makes a lovely arrangement.
Hi chickie, I just spent the last 20 minutes reading about these trees again and most of it is negative. They do say that the fall leaves are spectacular, just as you are showing us today and the flowers are beautiful in the spring. However the average lifespan is about 15 years, up to 20 if you prune and use rope supports. They grow very fast and produce lots of foliage which in turn make them highly susceptible to wind damage and split the trees. I went on a bit, sorry, this is a gorgeous display, thanks.
These are all from the same tree.

SALT LAKE CITY — A little bit of magic seemed to be with Judge Memorial in the final minutes against two-time defending 3A champion Juan Diego.
The Bulldogs mounted their first scoring drive late in the fourth quarter to force overtime and kept their first possession of overtime alive with a double-pitch from James Delacenserie to Christian Weidle and from Weidle to Daniel Shiramizu to set up a 25-yard field goal attempt by Pat Gibbs.
Unfortunately for Judge, that luck ran dry too soon. Jeff Ika blocked Gibbs' field goal and the Soaring Eagles came through with a game-winning 10-yard pass from Brock Garn to Eric Heinz to clinch a 13-7 3A semifinal victory on Friday night at Rice-Eccles Stadium.
For Bulldogs' coach James Cordova, the late-game heroics were a case of doing too little, too late.
"We didn't do enough during the game to give ourselves an opportunity to win," Cordova said. "We really struggled offensively the entire game. We made some major mistakes. You can't do that against a good football team, and they're a hell of a football team."
Judge managed just 206 yards of total offense — 86 yards came through the air — with 59 of those coming on the Bulldogs' lone scoring drive. They converted only 1-of-10 third downs.
Defensive play was a different story entirely. The Bulldogs kept Juan Diego from running away with the game simply because they stopped the Soaring Eagles from running, period.
Juan Diego managed just 167 yards on 52 carries. Gaining only 3.2 yards per attempt forced the Soaring Eagles to go to the air at different times in an effort to move the chains.
"They defended us really well, no doubt," Soaring Eagle coach John Colosimo said. "It was a great defensive effort by them. Good game plan. They just took away everything we like to do."
Judge also excelled at making big stops to halt potential scoring drives.
The Bulldogs blocked a 32-yard field goal attempt by Skyler Doran to prevent Juan Diego from taking a 10-point halftime lead. Then, in the third quarter, the Soaring Eagle reached the Judge 1-yard line, only to see the drive end when Shiramizu picked off a pass by Garn at the 2.
Colosimo said Judge did a good job of exposing shortcomings in Juan Diego's offense, and he felt displeased with his team's inability to finish drives.
"My frustration is that we left points on the field more than anything else," Colosimo said. "I knew we weren't going to be great offensively. But, obviously we were (good) enough."
Cordova credited his defense with coming through with clutch plays to keep the Bulldogs in the game.
"Our defense has been solid all season," Cordova said. "They've really done an outstanding job. They're tough football players."Comment on this story
It was not the storybook ending Judge anticipated writing after beating the odds just to make it this far in the 3A tournament.
The Bulldogs needed to win a play-in game against Grantsville and then knocked off higher seeds Cedar and Wasatch on the road over consecutive weekends in order to just make it to Rice-Eccles Stadium.
Cordova said it was a testament to his players and their drive to finish the season out on as high a note as possible.
"They fought and they never quit," Cordova said. "We had the toughest road of anybody I think ever to make it this far. I don't know of anybody else that's done this."

For 60's style rock
Of those two, for the sound of the '60s?
you can't go wrong with either. if you want thicker top and bottom end thump i'd suggest pyramid. if you like lower tension, livelier E string, and a touch more sustain go TIs.
Both are excellent.
TI's, could never warm up to Pyramids.
Both are good for this purpose, but i prefer pyramid.

In depth analysis and discussion of the design and circuitry of a stereo integrated amplifier, including digital room correction and dual subwoofer bass management: evaluating the HK 990 Stereo Integrated Amplifier.
This 3-part series provides a detailed discussion of the electronics and design of the stereo integrated amplifier.
Part 1 provides an overview and covers room correction systems.
Part 2 considers the challenges of adding digital inputs and digital signal processing to a stereo integrated amplifier, using block diagrams as illustrations. This segment is a good read for those interested in the internal operation of an AVR at the block level. Since the HK is a stereo unit, the blocks are less complex. Once you have a handle of the operations at a block level, then the transition from two to seven, or even eleven, channels becomes more straightforward. The second segment also comments on the quality of the data converters in the HK 990 and additional performance data when the unit processes a high resolution file.
Part 3 turns to the design and construction of the HK 990 at the circuit level. The analysis starts with the analog circuits in the direct mode, which is equivalent to an analog integrated amplifier. The designs of the power amp and phono stage are in the spotlight, and we also look at the tape recorder output and monitor function in more detail.

|JAY HAAS Ryder Cup redemption
Haas will not forget this one
As Jay Haas approached the 18th tee with a one-shot lead during the final round of the 69th Senior PGA Championship yesterday in Rochester, N.Y., it felt eerily like the 1995 Ryder Cup all over again.
Same stingy East Course at Oak Hill Country Club, same familiar pressure. And here was Haas's opportunity not to rewrite history exactly, but to make up for a memory that has troubled him since.
"I kind of had a chuckle with myself on the 18th tee, like, 'Well, you've been talking about this. It's time to put up or shut up,' " Haas said. "You talk about ripping it and all that stuff and, damn, if I didn't do it."
Did he ever.
Haas hit a perfect drive into the middle of the fairway and closed with a 2-foot putt for par to clinch his second Senior PGA title in three years with a final-round 4-over 74. He finished at 7-over 287, one shot better than Bernhard Langer, to win his 11th Champions event and claim the $360,000 first prize.
Just as important, this was a finish that was far better than what happened 13 years ago, when Haas drove his tee shot into the trees and settled for bogey in losing the singles match to Philip Walton that gave up the decisive point in the European team's 14 1/2-13 1/2 win over the United States. "I exorcised some demons," Haas said. "If I could've played those two shots [today] in 1995 . . . we probably would've won the Cup that year, or tied it, or whatever."
Langer, the third-round leader, posted a 76 on a day which he began with a double bogey after striking a spectator with his opening tee shot. Scott Hoch, Joey Sindelar, and 1987 US Open winner Scott Simpson finished tied for third, two shots back.
LPGA - Leta Lindley's birdie on the first hole of a playoff with Jeong Jang in the LPGA
"I can't hardly believe it," said Lindley, who took two years off to give birth to her two children. "I've been dreaming about this day forever."
Jang drove first on the extra hole, No. 18 again, and hooked her tee shot into the left rough. Lindley, who will turn 36 June 1, followed with a drive down the right side and nailed her second shot within easy birdie range.
PGA - Phil Mickelson made a 9-foot birdie putt on the final hole for a one-stroke victory at the Crowne Plaza Invitational over Tim Clark and Rod Pampling, who led by two strokes going to the back nine in Fort Worth.
It was the 34th victory for Mickelson, who had a closing 2-under 68 to finish at 14-under 266.
Europe - Miguel Angel Jimenez won the BMW PGA Championship on the second playoff hole, sinking a 2-foot birdie to beat Oliver Wilson in Virginia Water, England.
Robert Karlsson, who led by four strokes overnight, had a 74 to finish third for the third straight tournament. He needed to make a 5-foot putt for birdie to join the playoff, but three-putted to finish tied with Luke Donald (65) at 279.
Nationwide - Jeff Klauk sank a 12-foot birdie putt on No. 18 for a one-shot win in the Prince George's County (Md.) Open.

The hype behind his debut album "Thank Me Later" was intense for Toronto, Canada's very own [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Drake[/lastfm] as he quickly became a heavyweight in the hip hop game. The pressure is now taken to new heights with the release of his highly anticipated sophomore album "Take Care".
It has been almost three years since the hip hop world was put on to the lyrical genius of Aubrey "[lastfm]Drake[/lastfm]" Graham after the release of his mixtape So Far Gone. The young actor turned rapper is one of the hottest artists in music today with still plenty to prove after a successful major label debut album last year.

One of his tracks garnered so much attention and sparked several remixes was Marvin's Room it was such a buzz worthy track that Drake decided to include on his second album Take Care.
Marvins Room
The buzz would not stop there are Drake wanted to prove his lyrical supremacy in this album with his official firs single Headlines. The track was a bold statement to the entire rap game that he was back to his "cold ways". The video was shot in his hometown Toronto, Canada further proving his loyalty to the city and efforts to put it on the hip hop map.
Drake reached out to his mentor Lil Wayne, Rihanna and other top talent for features on the album as well as new artists like The Weeknd and Kendrick Lamar. Each track is very emotional and lyrical as Drake holds nothing back when it comes to relationships and his place in the hip hop game. The songs are well put together and its extremely hard to skip through any of them further proving that Take Care is a certified classic that any true hip hop fan can enjoy.

Well I got a bit carried away since I took the last photos. I found that the colors that were recommended were not good. They recommend Olive green and Navy grey and the first time I painted the model I said yuk!!!

I found that Coach green and Flat Gull Grey really make the model pop. The Black trim sets it all off, and the brass accents really make the model.
