text: I'm on the fence with this. Recently I've been wanting to really get back into competitive battling - I was all about it in gen IV and did clans, tourneys, all of that. I never even attempted to get into gen V though so I feel pretty behind on it.

Amanda Baumgarten has a question for her fellow Top Chef contestant Ed Cotton.
The Los Angeles sous chef doesn't understand why Ed had to publicly trash her on the show…
We caught up with Amanda earlier today to talk about being booted on last night's episode, the pea puree controversy, her weird fan and Ed's not-so-nice commentary.
Do you think you deserved to be sent home last night?
I don't know if I deserved it, but I know that I was fine with the decision.
Was it hard to hear some of the criticism from the other contestants? Some of them got really harsh.
They did get harsh. I made the decision before I got there that I would take the high road. I found it very interesting that some of the other people didn't do that—I think Ed in particular…I was like, 'Why would you go there? Horrible jabbing comment.' It's like, You've been cooking longer than me. What do you gain out of saying I'm no good?'
Do you think Angelo sabotaged you by not telling you how to properly prepare the tuna?
I don't know. Maybe. I wasn't thinking about it at the time. But whatever.
Did Alex steal Ed's pea puree?
Oh, my god, no! He didn't. He made it right next to me. He didn't steal it.
What are you hoping to get out of being on Top Chef?
I think I've gotten a lot out of it already. I have fans! I think that's really cool…I go out to the dining room of my restaurant and shake hands and take pictures with people. That's been so much fun.
Any weird fan mail?
Yeah! I've gotten one explicit photo. I was like, I must be famous if someone is going to send me a naked picture of himself. How rad is that?

What I want to do now is to make a loop so that it asks if the user wants another transaction, and if they enter yes, it should ask how much cash they need. And then to subtract that from the remaining balance (In the example would be 440). And that at the end I want it to print out how many transactions there were.Code:Enter your 4-digit personal identification (PIN) >> 2424 Enter the opening balance of your account $500 Enter how much cash you need? $60 The amount you are withdrawing = 60 Remaining Balance in your account = 440 *** Take your cash as $$$ bills *** 1 fifty 0 twenties and 1 tens
Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance!

The Virginia Crump Award for Outstanding Female Student in Community Service is given annually to a current Baylor female student to provide special recognition for her individual contribution of time, talent, and effort in the Waco community.
The Virginia Crump Award was initiated in 1988. The late Ms. Virginia Crump served the students of Baylor in many capacities during her years as a university administrator. After graduating from Baylor with her Bachelor's Degree in 1946, Ms Crump worked in the university library. She went on to receive her Master's Degree in Educational Psychology and served as Assistant Dean of Students from 1961-1982. Ms Crump led the task force that brought Mortar Board and national sororities to Baylor. She served on the board for the Girl Scout Council, YWCA, and the Waco symphony. Ms Crump retired from Baylor in 1982. This award continues to honor the service and volunteerism that Ms. Crump demonstrated, and is awarded annually to an undergraduate female Baylor student who has exhibited an exemplary dedication to community service.

San Jose credit union and its members reap benefits of its Global Members Program.
SAN FRANCISCO — Nobody is in a rush to toss out their leather wallet and replace it with a digital wallet on their phone.
Earlier today, I opened an email window, typed in my boss's name, cc'd firstname.lastname@example.com, and entered $5 in the subject line. I sent the email, and Square sent back a simple request for my debit card number. My boss received a similar request, he entered his debit information, and the...
Financial institutions still in the mix as digital wallet uptake evolves in fits and maybe starts.
Carrier-backed NFC wallet gets national rollout. No credit union involvement.
LAS VEGAS—Last year, 1,500 attended the first Money2020 innovation in payments conference. This year, 4,000 stuffed into the Aria Hotel's meeting rooms Oct. 6-10.
LAS VEGAS —For mobile commerce to happen on smartphones it almost certainly will require one-click buying, panelists say.
Fifteen credit unions are betting the time is right for a credit union centric digital wallet. That's why they threw their weight behind startup CU Wallet, the brainchild of Paul Fiore, founder of Digital Insight, and Kirk Drake, CEO of the Hagerstown, Md.-based CUSO Ongoing Operations.
These credit union leaders are taking a byte out of the stereotypes and making their mark in the credit union technology space.
Report disputes industry belief that consumers aren't interested in mobile wallets.

-Predator Press
Statistically eliminated from the playoffs, our beloved Preds have only two weeks left in our season.
Nonetheless, we suit up. We fire up. Week 13 [Future Ex-Cons] and 14 [Renal Failure] will find the mighty Preds undefeated in spirit.
We, the Preds, have something rare and precious on our side, something that makes us impervious to doubt. Something special, that makes us play harder when there is nothing to gain. Something that chases away the creeping, cloying darkness of surrendered hearts. Something that transcends the statistics and scorecards, innate and priceless, burned into our very souls, that cannot be stolen, bought, found, or taught. Something that drives us to stand and deliver against all odds, and play the best damn football we ever have. Something that could potentially send either or both of two 2014 playoff hopefuls sprawling to obscurity.
And that something is spite.
(Plus I'll bench my starters for 2015 draft picks)

No Fuss, No Muss Lasagna
So I saw this recipe for lasagna on the net the other day and enjoyed the author�s comments about how she developed it. I like to read recipes like some people read novels, and the mark of a good cookbook (or blog) to me is one that has a detailed commentary or history about the genesis of the dish. This lasagna looked delicious; the post was full of photos taken throughout the development of the recipe. The problem is, she admitted that it took her an entire day to make this beast. Not only did she make her pasta from scratch (we have all done that�once), but her sauce was from fresh tomatoes (the dude lives in New York. Where did she find �fresh� tomatoes in March?). And it was one of those slow-simmer-for-hours sauces that need frequent attending.
Clearly, this would be an outlier in someone�s cooking adventures for the week. Not one of us has time to devote to a day-long recipe on a frequent basis. But this lasagna recipe did make me think about mine�one that is the polar opposite of the one I just read. You know how with �normal� lasagna you pre-boil the noodles, make a b�chamel to go along with the meat sauce, slather it with lots of cheese and bake. It still takes at least an hour of prep, and quite frankly, I find boiling the noodles to be a royal pain. Even if you boil them just a few minutes, they still break and then you have to puzzle together the pieces in the pan and hope it doesn�t fall apart when you slice it in the end.
My recipe uses regular noodles, but I don�t pre-boil. (And yes, I�ve tried the no-boil noodles�they just don�t have the �tooth� I like in my lasagna. I like the rippled edges you get with the regular ones.) So rather than deal with the fuss of precooking, I just make it a day ahead and let time (and the sauciness of the dish) soften them. And yes, I use jarred sauce. (Alas, by March I have used all of my garden tomatoes from my freezer.) When we get a yen for lasagna, my usual M.O. is to make a pan on a Sunday when I�m prepping lunch, cover it well with plastic wrap, and then it�s ready to go into the oven on Monday night when we get home from work. Then all I have to do is make a quick stop at Italian House for some of their great bread, put together a salad and we are good to go.
Are you old school when it comes to lasagna? Make it all from scratch? Please tell me you don�t buy it frozen!
Lisa�s No Fuss Lasagna
1 medium onion, finely minced
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 pound ground beef
� pound bulk Italian sausage
Pinch of red pepper flakes
1-15 oz container of ricotta cheese (whole milk or part-skim)
1 egg
1-45 oz jar of your favorite marinara sauce (we like Prego Fresh Mushroom)
1-16 oz package of lasagna noodles
8 oz shredded mozzarella
Saut� the onions in the olive oil with a pinch of salt over medium heat until soft and translucent, about 8 minutes.
Add the beef and sausage and red pepper flakes, and brown the meat breaking it up into small pieces, no larger than � inch.
Meanwhile, beat an egg into the ricotta cheese in a small bowl. Set aside.
Reserve 1 cup of the marinara sauce and set aside. When the meat is brown, drain the fat as thoroughly as possible. Return pan to heat and add remaining marinara from the jar. Stir the sauce into the meat�no need to heat through.
Line your pan with parchment paper to make cleanup really easy. (Note about lasagna pans. Lasagna noodles do not fit very well in a 9 x 13 standard pan. They are too long for the 9 inch side and too short for the 13. Ugh! I am lucky that I have a 8x10 pan which is perfect. If you don�t, do your best fitting the noodles in the pan you have.)
Spread the one cup of reserved sauce in the bottom of the pan. Then, using a rubber or an offset spatula �butter� one of the dry lasagna noodle with the ricotta mixture until completely covered. Lay down in the pan and repeat with the noodles until you have a single layer. Spoon over approximately a cup of meat sauce to cover the noodles, then top with about a quarter of the mozzarella cheese.
Repeat these steps, building the layers of the lasagna. The number of layers depends on the size of your pan. Reserve the last quarter of mozzarella for the top, to be added just prior to baking. So the top layer of your lasagna at the end of the prep state should be the sauce.
Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 24 hours.
To bake: preheat oven to 350 degrees, remove plastic wrap on the pan and replace it with aluminum foil. Bake for 45 minutes. Then, remove the foil, add the reserved cheese to the top and bake for an additional 30 minutes. Let sit for about 5 minutes before slicing.

Is your child being bullied? The signs
Children and young people often put a huge amount of effort into hiding the fact that they are being bullied, says Claude Knights, the director of the anti-bullying children's charity, Kidscape. "They may want to protect their parents; feel ashamed; worry that they won't be believed; or that their parents will react angrily and do the wrong thing."
But, she says, there are subtle signs that something is wrong, which parents can look out for before something more radical happens, such as physical injuries from a bully, truancy or obvious depression.
"The best defence is to know your children and what is usual for them — to know their patterns. If they are usually shy, for example, it is not unusual for them to want to…

VERNON - When Shawn and Jessica show their wedding album to grandkids, they won't be able to name all the guests in the photos.
That's because the couple is getting married in front of a bunch of strangers this weekend after winning an all expenses paid shotgun wedding from Lone Pine Ranch Event Centre in Vernon.
"It'll be a great story to tell our grandkids," bride-to-be Jessica Taylor says.
She and fiancé Shawn Cardinal got together 15 years ago while living in Prince George. Cardinal proposed to her roughly 13 years ago on Christmas Eve.
"He actually bought me two engagement rings because he didn't know which one I would like," Taylor says.
The couple always planned on a small wedding with close friends and family, followed by a barbecue, but life got in the way.
"We've thought about it and tried saving up for it but had lots of things come up in our lives with vehicles breaking down, having children. Since we came to Vernon, we've had to move ten times in 11 years because the houses we rented were put up for sale," Taylor says.
On a whim, Taylor entered a contest for a wedding at Lone Pine Ranch which includes a commissionaire, photographer, and a one-night stay at Predator Ridge. Out of 74 entries, she and Cardinal won.
"It was unbelievable. I started bawling right away," Taylor says.
Over the next few days, the couple will be welcoming family from out of town and finalizing a few details, but the big tasks are all taken care of.
"All the major details when it comes down to the wedding part, I have to let it go because it's all taken care of, which is nice," Taylor says.
The ceremony is set for 3 p.m. this Sunday and will coincide with a Mother's Day Event at the ranch from noon to 4 p.m. featuring music by OK Corral, line dancing demonstrations, games, face painting and a complimentary glass of wine for moms.
The ranch is located at 315 Commonage Rd., near Predator Ridge Golf Course and Sparkling Hill Resort.
"Everybody is like 'you'll never forget your anniversary'," Taylor says of getting married on Mother's Day.

A second season of "Oddities: San Francisco" (Sat. at 9:00 p.m. on Science Channel) kicks off with two new episodes back-to-back, plus mechanical hands, dead skunks and all sorts of other awesome stuff. I mean, dead skunks, people. That's must-see TV, if you ask me.
The store"s owner Audra and her employee Wednesday are joined by newcomer Lincoln to take on the eclectic customers and bizarre antiques that enter the Haight Street store. From germaphobes to ancient artifacts, the ten brand new episodes of the show delve into the weird and wacky world of antique stuff that's just too weird to ignore.
In the first episode, "Take This Job and Skunk It!," Audra decides what to do with a deceased skunk (thus the title), while Wednesday works on selling a mechanical hand. Lincoln meets an expert who has pierced everything imaginable. We may just have to watch for that part.
Later, in "One Bot, Two Bot," the ladies meet twins searching for a robot to join their daily duo. After, Lincoln is tasked with finding something to commemorate a customer"s anniversary — but wants to do so with an unusual body part. Um, ew. And yes, count me in.
Do you plan to watch "Oddities: San Francisco"?

Robert Davis Lowrie
Robert 'Rob' Davis Lowrie was born in Hawaii 1918.He died in Germany in 1961.My husband Peter is a son of Robert.Robert does have otherchildren,but we are not sure of who or where. Rob was married several times and lived in many different places.Highly intelligent he has a long list of endeavors that he was involved in.
Some states he lived in are:
Ha, Ca, Az, NJ, Pa.
He also lived for a time in the countries of Turkey and Germany where he dies in Freising.
I am searching for Rob's other children, or,other Lowries simplyresearching this families history.His family line is from North Carolinia going back through South Carolina, Delaware, Ireland, Scotland. His Delaware line is the Robert/Elizabeth line mentioned on this board. Like virtually all other Delaware Lowries posting online I also am 'stuck' on Robert and Elizabeth at the point of their marriage.Time and other more active family lines keep my attention. But I am always willing redirect my time and attention to 'Rob' for a new lead to fill in any voids of time in his life. I just located a copy of the State Departments record of his death as 'an american citizen dieing overseas'. Hoping to connect with anyone about "Rob".

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for United States Humane Charities, Phoenix, AZ, USA
I have concerns about this charity. They have been soliciting my elderly mother and, because she cares deeply about the welfare of native Americans, she has made donations. I went to guidestar.org and looked at the organization's Form 990s from 2006 to 2010. Revenues are very modest from a high of $224,000 in 2006 to $75,000 in 2010. Clearly, the organization is financially weak.
I would like to believe funds are reaching Native Americans in need, but there is no clear evidence that that is happening.
There are other stronger charities serving Native Americans. Better to donate to them.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
I've been present when my mother received aggressive telephone solicitations from this charity. The caller says she is with South Dakota Indian Relief. The organization is, in fact, United States Humane Charities. The organization is listed at a P.O. address in Arizona.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Close it.

Police start pilot drug tests
Four British police forces are preparing to start testing drivers for drugs in a voluntary trial scheme.
No prosecutions for driving under the influence of drugs will arise from the roadside pilot schemes, which begin on Monday.
Motorists will be asked to consent to a simple test - an impregnated swab rubbed across their forehead which shows whether they have taken drugs.
Recent figures released in the UK show one in five drivers who die in road crashes has taken drugs.
Later tests will try a saliva-based system. The aim is to determine which is the most reliable means of checking whether a driver is on drugs.
The forehead test, called Drugwipe, is made in Germany while the saliva check is manufactured by a British firm.
Both claim to detect cannabis, cocaine, ecstasy, amphetamines and heroin, with an accuracy rate of about 95%.
But other problems remain before drug testing can become as common as the breathalyser.
Police do not yet have the power to force people to give a sample for a roadside drug test.
Prescription drugs could also pose a problem and people might need more advice on when it was safe to drive on medication.
The Roads Minister, Baroness Hayman, said the UK Government would introduce legislation if the equipment worked and it believed it could reduce the problem.
Figures from a three-year study by the Department of Transport show driving under the influence of drugs increased fourfold in the past 10 years. Drink-driving fell in the same period.
A recent survey also found 85% of 22- to 25-year-olds said drug-driving was "common" among their peers.

The cover tunes are performed with grand gestures, "Over The Rainbow" is given a fresh coat of water colours with touching statements that mimic the original. The song features a high end bass interlude where Ousley plays the melody line with flowing lyrical beauty. Davidian rains down piano runs that paint the sky, a very broad pallet to work from he lets fly with all manner of colour. The closer and another cover tune, "Imagine" by John Lennon is treated to the trios tender mercy. With loving care they take the haunting melody and build a priceless masterpiece. In Davidian's playing the strength of a Keith Jarrett comes through clearly, especially in his rendition of this Lennon classic.
The original tunes are very good, on the Ousley composition "Someone" an excellent ballad with an open feel to it, that allows Davidian to explore the melody in an unrestrained manner, he gives his all. The drummer Austin McMahon creates a pure post bop tune in "Study Steady". On this tune bassist Jamie Ousley gets to roam with care free abandon. The other members of the trio are in solid support, giving a full and powerful sound. Joe Davidian's songs swing, "Just Like That" is a prime example. A fiery tune that takes flight from the start and does not look back.

Though Universal Music Group's acquisition of EMI Music's labels was still pending late last week, UMG has now paid much of the $1.9 billion purchase price, as mandated in the company's agreement with seller Citigroup, a source with knowledge of the transaction confirmed Monday.
Late last week, as representatives of the European Union convened in Brussels to vote on the deal, UMG paid $1.6 billion to Citigroup, which assumed control of EMI late last year after previous owner Terra Firma Equity Partners defaulted on its loan.
As part of its agreement to buy EMI's labels, UMG had agreed to assume regulatory risk in the transaction and to pay most of the purchase price by Sept. 9.

2011-09-02 - Rude shock for Doro Pesch. Yesterday morning the rock singer took the plane from Düsseldorf to her second home New York. When she arrived at her domicile on Long Island, instead of her neat house on the beach DORO only came upon a heap of ruins – the results of hurricane "Irene" which had been raging over New York on last weekend and had brought big floodings to the east coast of the US.
"The damage is disastrous", DORO states mournfully. "The whole ground-floor was flooded. It stinks, electricity failed and everything's wrecked inside of the house. From the TV to the fridge to the furniture. Everything's grime-stained, defective, unusable."
DORO continues: "The worst thing is that pieces of my stage costumes and lots of my souvenirs and presents from fans from all around the world are lost forever now."
Actually the rock queen wanted to prepare for her two live shows in New York and Chicago on Long Island calmly, which she'll play next week over the course of her jubilee DVD's release "DORO – 25 Years in Rock".
DORO: "The shows will take place of course. For now, I've found accommodation in an hotel in New York and will have to see where things will go from here. I saw the pictures of "Irene" on TV when I visited my mother in Germany on the weekend. When a red rubber raft appeared canoeing through a road on Long Island, I've already assumed the worst."
And the fears were even surpassed. In spring, Doro Pesch had sat by the pier in front of her house to make use of the idyllic atmosphere for writing songs for her new album that will be released in 2012.

Gangs of youths attacked banks across Athens on Saturday as the violence that has engulfed Greece looks set to enter a second week.
Greece's prime minister, Costas Karamanlis, was battling against demands that he step down after a week of violent protests. The opposition Socialist party called for him to quit and call an early election after his government failed to contain rioters protesting at the death of a teenage boy shot dead by a policeman last weekend.
After another night of violence, in which cars were torched and five banks and an office of the ruling conservative party were attacked and set on fire by mobs of youths, thousands gathered for peaceful protests yesterday in the capital and in the city of Thessaloniki to remember 15-year-old Alexis Grigoropoulos.
Banners carrying his name were held aloft outside the Athens parliament, while many of the students wore white as a sign of peace, and carried flowers.
Militants among the protesters continued to occupy nearby university buildings, many of them wearing masks. More violence was expected last night as those behind the worst of the looting and riots – which have seen fierce clashes with police – were thought likely to renew their street battles with security forces to mark the passing of the first week since the schoolboy died.

Iranian state TV denied claims Saturday that the country had banned extending letters of credit to finance imports from the UAE. The Mehr news agency had reported on Friday an announcement from Parliamentarian Gholam-Reza Mesbahi-Moghaddam that such financing had been banned. Additionally, the Iranian media had reported Tuesday that all trade between the two countries would be suspended. The UAE has been a conduit of goods to Iran over the course of the sanctions against it.
Mesbahi-Moghaddam had been quoted as saying, "Iran's neighboring countries such as the UAE should resist the meaningless pressure imposed by arrogant powers so that they can continue their economic relations with the Islamic state." Despite the contradiction of Meshabi-Moghaddam's statement, it is clear that sanctions are having an impact on Iranian merchants operating out of the UAE.
According to Morteza Masoumzadeh, executive committee of local Iranian Business Council and managing director of Jumbo Line Shipping Agency, there are over 8,000 registered Iranian traders and trading firms in Dubai. He estimated that the latest round of sanctions against Iran would drive most merchants out of business within a year or two, including those handling permitted items.
US-led sanctions against Iranian banks have led banks from countries that permit financial ties with the Islamic Republic to avoid providing financing for fear of jeopardizing US business or being exposed if sanctions are expanded. "We cannot establish letters of credit to our suppliers in Europe or the Far East. They cannot send the goods to us, and we cannot do the trade. Therefore, our trade department has lost at least 70 percent of its business during the last two years," said Masoumzadeh.
The latest data from UAE customs indicates that re-export accounted for AED19.5 billion ($5.32 billion) in trade between the two the countries. This represents a significant portion of Iran's non-oil foreign trade. Goods exported by dhow to Iran include household goods, rice, sugar, cooking oil, tubes, tires, and limber. Although Iran accounts for a quarter of the UAE's re-export trade, the impact of the sanctions are limited on the UAE, which exports nearly $300 billion in oil and gas. The financing issue has shifted some of Iranian trade to Asia, including to Pakistan. (Source: english.nuqudy.com [1])

Patriots Point Earns Top Honors from TripAdvisorpatriotspoint Jun 22, 2012
In recognition of its exceptional traveler ratings over the past year, Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum has been awarded a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence – with an overall rating of 4.5 out of 5. As of June 18, Patriots Point received an exceptional 208 'excellent' ratings and 73 'very good' ratings out of a total 301 received.
"We are honored to be recognized by such a prestigious travel website," said Patriots Point Executive Director Mac Burdette, noting that the recognition is made all the more significant because it was voted on by visitors to the museum. "Our staff is hard at work every day, searching for new and exciting ways to share our nation's naval history with visitors. We are proud of all that we've accomplished and we're continually building on this success. I hope visitors and Lowcountry residents will visit Patriots Point and the USS YORKTOWN and experience history in a whole new way."
A visitor to Patriots Point in May called the museum "a must for military enthusiasts" and said it was "a good time for a family trip." In a review online, this visitor stated: "The dominant attraction is the Yorktown, an [Essex] class aircraft carrier converted into a museum ship. One of the best museums of its kind, it allows tours of the interior of the ship, has dozens of period aircraft, the Apollo 8 capsule, and the official Medal of Honor museum. There's also a theater showing historical pieces including 'The Fighting Lady', a WWII documentary shot onboard, and a nice little snack area directly underneath a suspended B-25 bomber.
"There's also several other ships nearby including a submarine and the Laffey, a WWII destroyer, as well as monuments to the cold war submariners and a recreation of a Vietnam helicopter base. The gift shop is large and well fitted, and tours of Fort Sumter leave every two hours from a nearby pier. Very nice location. Compares well with any military museum I've seen, including the Air and Space in DC."

Rinaldo Cantabilewrote a review of Santini Spanish National Team Bib Short - Men's on September 23, 2010
great fit, no frills, excellent
I like Santini and Nalini bibs for the value. They always fit great, workmanship is excellent, and the chamois pad -- though basic in design -- works well for me. These Santini bibs fit the bill as usual but they also look great in Spanish National Team colors. I am 5' 9" 145 lbs and the Medium fits perfectly.

Franklin Graham spoke out in an interview with CBN News this week, encouraging every evangelical Christian to vote in the general election, even if that means holding their noses and opting for "the least heathen of the two heathen."
Graham said during a sit-down interview with the outlet in Denver, Colorado, that he believes that there is a liberal wing of the evangelical community that is telling people, "If so-and-so wins or this person wins, don't vote'" — a sentiment that he flatly rejects.
"I'm just saying, I don't care who wins and who's out there, you have to vote," he told CBN News. "And I'm not going to tell people who to vote for, I'm not going to do that — let God tell you who to vote for."
Graham continued, "You may have to hold your nose, you may have to decide which is the least heathen of the two heathen."
Watch his remarks, during which he said that both the Republican and Democratic parties are "broken," below:
Graham made these comments as he was in Denver on his "Decision America Tour" — an effort that brings him to state capitols around the country to speak to large crowds about faith and politics.
As TheBlaze previously reported, Graham said during his address at Colorado's state capital on Tuesday that America "is really at a moral tipping point" and warned of what will happen if people refuse to turn out and vote.
"Today I stood on the Capitol steps in Denver, Colorado, and over 4,200 people came out – energized and ready to see change come to America by praying and by voting," Graham wrote in a Facebook post earlier this week. "Our nation is really at a moral tipping point."
He continued, "If we just stay home, we're going to lose this country and we will only have ourselves to blame."

Just five days earlier, Bekele had won the 10,000 in a championship record 26:46.31. Each win was a battle, underscoring Bekele's uncanny ability to sense his own strength and that of his opponents, controlling the pace, hurting them more than himself, rolling along with that riveting stride, waiting to launch his devastating kick.
With this unprecedented World Championship golden double, which came a year after winning both events at the Beijing Olympics, there is a growing chorus calling Bekele the finest distance runner in history. His record includes five world track championships, three Olympic gold medals, 10 world cross-country championships, and five world records.
It's speculated that the marathon, whose record (2:03:59) is currently held by fellow Ethiopian Haile Gebrselassie, may be his next move. The world has wondered what it would take to break two hours. The answer may be Bekele.

Released: October 4, 2012

OAK BROOK, Ill. (October 4, 2012) — The Academy of Radiology Leadership and Management (ARLM) has awarded its first Certificates of Achievement to Amilcare Gentili, M.D., and Lisa H. Lowe, M.D.
ARLM was launched in 2011 to give radiology practitioners the opportunity to develop professionally. As the field of radiology continues to evolve, and healthcare faces mounting financial challenges, leadership skills are becoming even more critical. ARLM combines existing leadership and management courses under one umbrella.
"Although we gain a vast amount of medical knowledge through residency, fellowship and clinical experience over time, opportunities for radiologists to learn how to be effective managers, administrators and leaders have been few and far between," said Dr. Lowe, professor of radiology at University of Missouri-Kansas City and Radiology Residency Program Director at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine. "The courses offered through ARLM are practical and useful to all. Receiving a Certificate of Achievement means a great deal to me, as it allows me to demonstrate my commitment to improving my leadership and management skills."
ARLM courses are offered by the five sponsoring organizations: RSNA, the Association of University Radiologists (AUR), American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS), the Society of Chairs of Academic Radiology Departments (SCARD), and the Association of Administrators in Academic Radiology Departments (AAARAD).
ARLM builds on educational programs and resources offered by the sponsoring societies online and at their annual meetings. The goal of ARLM is to organize the educational pursuits of radiology professionals to ensure that they are exposed to content across the critical domains of leadership and management.
"During medical school, residency, fellowship, and years in practice I did not have any formal leadership or management training," said Dr. Gentili, clinical professor of radiology at University of California — San Diego and service chief of radiology at San Diego VA Medical Center. "Once I became service chief, I found many new challenges that my clinical training did not prepare me for. I signed up for ARLM to improve my leadership and management skills. The Certificate of Achievement signifies that I am committed to excellence, professional development and radiology leadership and management."
Medical imaging professionals can earn a Certificate of Achievement from ARLM by participating in 50 hours of education—including at least 30 hours in person—across a spectrum of core learning domains, including financial skills, human resources, professionalism, legal/contracting, academic mission and more. A minimum of three credits in each domain is required.
Course curriculum includes important issues facing medical imaging professionals, such as Quality Assessment and Improvement in Radiology, Ethics and Professionalism in Research, Conflict of Interest, Critical Issues Facing the Profession of Radiology, and Clinical Portfolios, among others.
There are no fees beyond costs associated with the courses—and many of those are free to members of the respective sponsoring societies. Additional information on the program is available at www.radleaders.org.

RSNA is an association of more than 50,000 radiologists, radiation oncologists, medical physicists and related scientists promoting excellence in patient care and health care delivery through education, research and technologic innovation. The Society is based in Oak Brook, Ill. (RSNA.org)

No longer the ugly stepchild of the automotive world, many hybrids have also arrived in the department of style. Previously, you had to be (and look like) an automotive lab rat of sorts in order to helm one — you know, weird European-style eyeglasses, Birkenstocks, probably an environmental activist t-shirt of some kind. But hybrids now push the envelope of style and even take the kind of risks manufacturers wouldn't dare impute to their gas-powered children. We've helmed three stylish hybrids that run the range of prices and designs. They're all pleasing to the eye as well as to the environment and give us hope for the future: one without hybrids that look like lozenges on wheels.

Re: INGLIS, SHEWAN, SANDILANDS, CUMMINGS - Lothian, Scotland
Valerie Davidge 10/16/07
Sorry, I meant to say that I think this John Inglis born of Ann Taylor was my Great Grandfather.
I am still trying to track this down so any information would be valuable.
When Ann Taylor married Joseph Drummie in 1862, she took young John with her and he shows in later census records although sometimes spelled as Ingels.
I have actually tracked down John Inglis in Leith who was my Great Grandfather.Two of his children Joseph (my Grandfather) and Margaret carry the second name Drummie which would indicate a familiarity with someone called Drummie.In the 1901 Census, the family has a visitor - Robert Drummie - who was born in the Edzell area and was probably another son of Joseph Drummie and Ann Taylor.
Therefore, he would have been John Inglis younger half brother.
John Inglis and Robert Drummie were both pall bearers at Joseph Drummie's funeral.
I cannot see how this can all be coincidence.I'd like to track further records of John Inglis to see if Ann Taylor was actually his mother.
I guess getting in touch with Angus records is the best way!

A fire at a Leucadia eatery Monday night caused $250,000 in damage and left one man with an injured ankle.
The blaze at the Calypso Cafe on North Coast Highway 101 near Basil Street was reported about 9:20 p.m. and was out about 30 minutes later, Division Chief Scott Henry said.
Investigators determined that the blaze originated as a grease fire in the kitchen, Henry said.
The restaurant, which was open and had a band playing, was evacuated, Henry said. "Employees did a great job getting everyone out," he said.
One man who was fighting the flames from the roof with a fire extinguisher was injured after he jumped to the ground. He was taken to a hospital, Henry said.
Damage was contained to the restaurant's kitchen and roof and did not spread to other buildings. The loss was estimated at $175,000 to the building and $75,000 to its contents.

(WNS) -- For the first time in American history, more than half of all births to American women under 30 are occurring outside of marriage.
That's what Child Trends, analyzing data from the National Center for Health Statistics, found out. The New York Times reported this news with an apt lead: "It used to be called illegitimacy. Now it is the new normal."
This is more important than a trend, because trends are easy to reverse. This is an ooze, a sociological horror film that could be titled The Blob That Ate America. Ask no more why the lives of the next generation, on average, are likely to be more difficult economically (and in many other ways) than that of the baby boomers.
As Bowling Green State University researcher Susan L. Brown (and many others) have found, children born to married couples, on average, "experience better education, social, cognitive and behavioral outcomes" than others.
Many single moms try hard and are overwhelmed. The Times article ends with a vignette about one of them, Lisa Mercado, who is taking a nursing course and working an all-night job at a gas station, so she rarely sees her 6-year-old: "I want to do things with her, but I end up falling asleep."
The sins of the fathers affect their children. The Times, explaining why some women don't get married, noted, "Some unwed mothers cite the failures of their parents' marriages as reasons to wait. Brittany Kidd was 13 when her father ran off with one of her mother's friends, plunging her mother into depression and leaving the family financially unstable.
"Our family life was pretty perfect: a nice house, two cars, a dog and a cat," she told the Times. "That stability just got knocked out like a window; it shattered." Kidd, 21, added that she wouldn't think of marrying her son's father, who she said she loves: "I don't want to wind up like my mom."

The Independent Trader
- 13
- October
Independent traders require smart technology to obtain the bleeding edge over the markets how ever that may be defined. Even the independent trader in a trading boutique or from home can not afford to make common mistakes. Some of these mistakes can include:
- Trading over a cable modem or other non-business class Internet service. This can create latency or an unknown amount of hops between you, your public network and your exchange. I've just seen it too many times. When you're using a non-dedicated ISP, you have no control over how many networks you need to pass through before reaching your destination and back.
- All hardware is not created equal. A standard desktop with 1-2 video cards will not do. Depending on your trading platform you could be creating latency just by miss use of your screens. Even a slight overlap of a window can crunch a video processor to the extend that you're looking at 3-4 second lag-time.
- Wireless trading is never a good idea. A good old ethernet connection into a business class router is always more stable. If you have to make sure you're using business class equipment and someone who knows what they're doing. It could cost you!
Larger environments need even more careful planning. Many complexities can arise as soon as you add multiple markets and or execution platforms. They all work on very different technology. Each has its benefits as well as concerns. Knowing these applications and understanding the demand on properly engineered and implemented technology is key. This brings me to my next point. Not all consulting firms, professional services companies or other IT support vendors are created equal.
I wanted to touch on the independent trader since we have so many as valued clients. Next month I'm going to talk a little more about the larger environments that we support. In the meantime I wanted to share a story depicting yet another different between AMRCON on other support vendors.
For close to 2 years a trading floor in lower Manhattan struggled with problems with a software trading platform. Each time the firm would experience the issue it cost them money. Each time they had the issue they would report the problem to their IT support company who we will call ACME for the purposes of this article. They were a professional services company as apposed to AMRCON's Manged services model of real-time preventative support. Thus the trading firm had to waite for them to respond on site to troubleshoot the issue. Both ACME and the trading firm played a serious game of cat and mouse. The client being upset that ACME could not pin-point the issue and fix it and the software vendor pointing fingers at the client network as the problem. Finally ACME stated that it was an outside issue that they did not support and the issue continued. Eventually ACME lost the firm as a client to AMRCON due to various support related and other issues. AMRCON was pleased to take charge.
AMRCON deployed its managed services model of support through its start up process which corrected many outstanding issues. Later the firm began to experience the issue with the software and AMRCON was able to capture real-time data about the problem. Now it was the first time the issue had happened while under our support model and in fact the first time we heard of the issue. Needless to say we were shocked to hear it was going on for years and was an accepted reoccurring issue. AMRCON quickly compiled the data and began aggressively monitoring all aspects of the internal network all the way through the connection to the host provider. Come to find out there was an issue with the configuration of the 3rd party software vendor. AMRCON was able to prove the issue through hard documentation, statistics, and reports. This made the vendor step up and fix the issue. Our client is no longer being represented by a support vendor who even thinks about not owning each and every issue as their own.
I'm pleased to say the that we have repaired many other fixes to their network. We've reduced their IT budget and AMRCON has received calls from their executives personally thanking us for the diligent work we have provided.

ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — The Detroit Lions claimed quarterback Thaddeus Lewis off waivers Wednesday and released quarterback Alex Carder.
Lewis started last season as an undrafted free agent in St. Louis but spent most of the year on Cleveland's practice squad. He started the Browns' final game last season and threw for 204 yards with a touchdown and interception.
Lewis, Shaun Hill and Kellen Moore are behind starter Matthew Stafford.
Carder was an undrafted free agent from Western Michigan.
