MINNEAPOLIS - The Minnesota women's track and field team is pleased to host the 2014 Northwest Open at the University of Minnesota Fieldhouse to kick off its 2014 season this Saturday, Jan. 18. Field events begin at 11 a.m. with running events set to start at 11:30 a.m.
Distance Preview
Women's cross country head coach and track and field assistant coach Sarah Hopkins expects the distance crew to carry over much of its success from the cross country season into the indoor track season. Not only can the team rely on the physical base of mileage and fitness they built during the fall, but Hopkins expects they will carry over their confidence as well.
"They know what they've got coming out of cross country is going to carry them through the indoor season. They don't need to start over," Hopkins said. "You're building on what you did in the summer, what you did in the fall, as evidenced by our mile time trial at the end of the cross country season. They ran really fast - and they hadn't done any speed work."

Director of women's cross country and track and field Matt Bingle, who coaches the Gophers' sprinters, jumpers and multi-event athletes, took a look at the Golden Gophers' line-up heading into the 2014 campaign.
"I'm very excited about the season," Bingle said. "We're ready to compete... I'm always cautious about how good we can be. I'm more work-centered, but I'm very optimistic. The team goal is to be in the top three at the Big Ten meet indoors and outdoors."

SunTrust Sponsors Etiquette Workshops for Students in Douglas County
Douglas County students who serve on the Superintendent's Forum learned etiquette in addition to advising the superintendent on issues and activities in their schools. Ms. Nia Brown from Polished for Purpose instructed students in the finer points of dining etiquette as part of their meetings. The sessions took place in November at the Board of Education Central Office and included lunch. The students were divided into elementary, middle, and high school groups of 16-22 students each. SunTrust sponsored the etiquette lessons.
"I value the importance of etiquette in social and business situations," said Superintendent Trent North. "I am grateful that we can provide these soft skills that will benefit the students for the rest of their lives. We appreciate SunTrust for making this possible."
"SunTrust's purpose is to Light the Way to Financial Well-Being for the clients and communities we serve," said Jenna Kelly, President, Georgia Division, SunTrust Bank. "Part of that is investing in our community's youth and helping to prepare them for their future roles as citizens and professionals. We're proud to partner with the Douglas County School System and support their efforts to ensure our youngest community members are well rounded and ready for any situation they may experience in life."
Some students were chosen to represent their schools on the Superintendent's Forum based upon recommendations by administrators and other students volunteered. They will meet with Superintendent North twice this school year to discuss pertinent issues in education. The first round of meetings were scheduled for the following dates: November 1 for elementary; November 9 for high school; and November 13 for middle school.
Ms. Brown is a Certified Etiquette Consultant from Douglasville. She has worked with students of all ages as well as elected officials and business professionals. "Etiquette is important because it helps people engage with others by making them feel comfortable," said Ms. Brown. "In a world where we are all busy and preoccupied with electronic devices, I believe that the personal touch is more important than ever."

Notre Dame survived an upset bid by Pittsburgh last week, winning 29-26 in triple overtime, to remain unbeaten at 9-0. The win kept ND in the top five in the nation but it also showed that the Irish have some issues to resolve on offense and that the potent defense showed some cracks for the first time this year. Hopefully, it was a wakeup call of the Irish.
Everett Golson was headed as the goat of the game but rallied the team back and became the hero. His overall play had to be rated "poor" for the entire game, but his gutty performance in the fourth quarter and the overtimes saved the day.
If one just looked at the total game statistics without knowing the score, you would believe that ND had won by a wide margin, not winning in overtime. But the Irish offense had issues in the game. Pushing the ball all over the field but not finishing Pitt off by failing to cash in on many opportunties.
The Irish have won this year because their turnover ratio is way down from a year ago. When the Irish turn the ball over they struggle. They turned the ball over against Pitt twice in the red zone and that kept the Panthers in the game.
Head coach Brian Kelly and staff must address the inconsistency of the offense. Entering the 10th game of the season, this problem should be solved by now. You can't keep using the inexperience of Golson any more as an excuse. He has weathered nine tough games now so inexperience can't be an excuse any more.
More on the game later.
Today the Irish face an old nemesis in Boston College. The Eagles enter the game with a very unimpressive 2-7 record. But BC having a poor record entering a game against the Irish means little. The Eagles play the Notre Dame game like its a bowl game. In fact, from 2001 to 2008 the Eagles racked up six straight wins over the Irish. And in the past the Eagles have cost the Irish a shot at the national championship.
BC's two wins have been over Maine, 34-3, and Maryland, 20-17. The losses have been to Miami, 41-32; Northwestern, 22-13; Clemson, 45-31; Army, 34-31; Florida State, 51-7; Georgia Tech, 37-17; and last week Wake Forest, 28-14.
The Eagles offense is led by Quarterback Chase Rettig, who has compelted 197 of 349 passes for 16 touchdowns, but has eight interceptions. Rushing is led by Andres Williams, who has rushed for 635 yards on 130 carries and four TDs. Top receivers are Alex Amidon, 1,073 yards on 67 receptions with six TDs, and Johnathan Coleman, 434 yards on 29 catches and four TDs.
ND leads the series, 12-9, and has won the last three. The Irish won in 2009, 20-16; 2010, 31-13; and last year, 16-14. It has never been easy for the Irish to beat BC.
The game will be televised nationally by ABC-TV with an 8:10 p.m. kickoff.
IRISH NOTES:This series is another that will not continue on a regular basis due to the Irish entering the ACC. ND will play BC, as the Eagles are members of the ACC, but not on a yearly basis....Some Pitt stats. Golson finished 23 of 42 passing for 227 yards with two TDs, and one interception, in the endzone. Tommy Rees was six of 11 for 64 yards and an interception. He was not as sharp as other relief appearances. Theo Riddick rushed 22 times for 75 yards. Golson 15 for 74 and a score, and Cierre Wood 13 for 70, but had that big fumble at the goal line in the second overtime period....Receiving, DaVaris Daniels had seven catches for 86 yards, Tyler Eifert six for 62, TJ Jones five for 53 and a score, and Riddick, four for 35 and a score. Defensively Dan Fox led in tackels with nine, followed by Prince Shembo with eight. Manti Te'o had seven. Kyle Brindza hit three of four fields goals and missed a key extra point. Still not consistent enough for me....The flu bug continues to hit the team. This week several more players have missed practice or have felt the affects of the bug....Kelly is now 24-3 in his last 27 games in November/December regular season dating back to the 2005 season at Central Michigan....ND dropped in the BCS standings from third to fourth. Irish fans should not worry about the BCS standings and the national title. If the Irish get there they have to depend on two things, keep winning and hope Alabama, Oregon, or Kansas State lose. ND can't decide its own fate....NBC cointinues to be happy with the ratings ND has been providing. The Pitt game drew a 4.3 rating making it the most watched game on NBC this season....The rally from 14 down Saturday is believed to be the largest comeback by an Irish team in the 82-year history of ND stadium. It matched a 14 point rally in 1999 against USC....Ten of the 11 turnovers ND has committed this year have been at home....The USC game will have a 8 p.m. start and televised nationally by ABC-TV....Two red zone turnovers last week caused the Irish to drop to 89th nationally among 120 FBS teams....Tyler Eifert needs 11 receptions to pass former All-American Ken MacAfee, who has 128, and become ND's all-time career leader in receptions by a tight end....Bovada.Iv, which rates the odds of a team winning the national title, has put ND's chances at 15-2. Alabama is rated first at 2-3 and Oregon second, 3-1....ND continues to lead the nation in the fewest rushing touchdowns allowed, despite giving up one last week against Pitt. ND's has given up two....I hope last week's close game is a wakeup call for the Irish, who may have started reading their own headlines about the great season they are having. The defense showed cracks and the offense turned the ball over at critical times and the penalties were up. Tonight the Irish must be ready because Boston College has spoiled ND runs for a national title in the past. The Eagles consider this their redemption game for a dismal year so far. In my preseason picks I had the Irish winning this one. As 19 point favorites they should. They also should be focused strictly on the Eagles, remembering what happened last week.

Boy Overcomes Stutter with a Tip from 'The King's Speech'
This is amazing. Stuttering can cause such pain and embarrassment, but this boy overcame it with a trick learned in the movie "The King's Speech" starring Colin Firth.
Kudos to the teacher who decided to help the student. Get the tissues out for this video.


text: Once Al is gone I see his pay scale going way up. I also hope he is put back into the starting lineup so he can at least get 30 min's consistently. I want him to have more reasons to stay loyal and can see him taking a little less to stay in Utah. But Foy consistently getting more minutes is so stupid!! TyCo needs to wake his ass up and realize Foye is nothing mor then a three point specialist playing 15-18 minutes a game.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Nice typical casual italian restaurant which is easy to get to as it sits right on the busy intersection of wildwood road and route 8. The sampler beer deal is a must do. You get 8 6 oz samples for $9, thus you can try everything and have a total of 4 full beers for a relatively low cost. Food comes in big portions. My wife and I were hungry and definitely overordered. The pizza is very very good. Big slices, not too heavy on anything, crust perfectly cooked. Thought the beers were a bit watery, but a few were decent.

I happened to be in the area on business and stopped in for dinner. Just in time for happy hour, which is 4-7. Happy hour is $2 20oz drafts and $5 appetizers and pizza. Great deal! The inside is clean, but somewhat generic and obviously designed for family dining. I guess this used to be a Hoss's, and it still looks like one on the inside. The service at the bar was excellent. The bartender informed me of the happy hour specials before I ordered something more expensive. The assistant brewer gave me some free samples, including stuff before it was on line. I ordered wings and pizza. The wings were average (a bit overcooked for my tastes). The pizza was good. The beers range from average to good. They also serve wine, BMC, and mixed drinks. Worth a visit if you are north of town. If you are a snooty beer hunter limited on time, there are other places I would hit first.

One of the better brewpubs I've been to. The beer was decent, the food was bar quality but on the top end. The waitress was hot AND knew a bit about beer. I ordered the 66 sampler and she asked me if I needed descriptions on which beer was which. When I told her I would figure it out, she pointed each one out and told me what to expect from each. Great job! Wings were good as well. I will go back if I have some free time.

As described friendly clean and brand new. Was filled with families enjoying their meal when I was there. Had Franky Sinatra playing in the background, next was a song softly playing in Italian. The beers served here are from the original Marzoni's. They carry a different name to appeal to the locals, but these are the same quality brews that are brewed and served at the original brewpub. BIG samples of all eight beers for $9, can't beat that. Overall a great place to sample the different styles of beers, nice time. I didn't have food this time but certainly will when I come back with my family. However, I did hear the patrons commenting about the high quality and quantity of their food. Glad I was introduced to this beer place. Thanks Nate.

Helen Clark at the 11th Meeting of State Parties (MSP) to the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention Opening Ceremony in Phnom PenhNov 27, 2011
It is my pleasure to participate in this opening ceremony for the Eleventh Meeting of the States Parties to the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention. My thanks go to the Government of Cambodia for hosting this meeting.
In 1997, the UN Secretary-General hailed this Mine Ban Convention as "a landmark step in the history of disarmament", and "an historic victory for the weak and vulnerable of our world". Civil society and like-minded states campaigned for the convention, with the aim of putting an end for all time to the deaths and injuries caused by anti-personnel mines.
Cambodia is among the many countries where people have suffered terribly from these devastating weapons. Indeed, recognizing the plight of Cambodia was a driving force for the adoption of this convention in Oslo in 1997.
This meeting here in Phnom Penh is an opportunity both to celebrate progress to date in overcoming the menace of anti-personnel mines, and to acknowledge that much work still remains to be done to rid the world of them.
Having recently witnessed the adoption and entry into force of the Convention on Cluster Munitions in record time, this meeting is also an opportunity to acknowledge the power of partnerships between states, civil society, and international organizations in pursuing humanitarian diplomacy which is preventive in nature and helps build a more peaceful and secure world.
While it is difficult to quantify exact numbers of victims and survivors, the International Campaign to Ban Landmines has estimated that these weapons have killed and maimed over a million people in the last thirty years. Seventy-one percent of these were estimated to be civilians, and thirty-two percent children.
In 2001 the Landmine Monitor listed ninety countries around the world affected by landmines and explosive remnants of war. Many of them are least developed countries, whose development is severely hindered by this explosive legacy of conflict and who are the least able to fund weapons clearance.
In countries emerging from conflict, these weapons slow the repatriation of refugees and the return of other displaced persons. They hamper the provision of aid and relief. They deprive communities of the productive and safe use of land and natural resources. Their persistent threat impedes the use of traditional hunting grounds, the development of livelihoods, and access to places of cultural and religious significance. The overall impact on human security and basic freedom of movement is huge.
The majority of the countries affected by anti-personnel mines now have Mine Action Programmes in place, and are committed to the comprehensive eradication of these weapons from their territory. The primary responsibility for doing that rests with the governments of affected states and territories, but the scale of the problem requires international partners to be part of the solution.
After two decades of Mine Action activities, capacity development, and with the framework for partnership and strategic work provided by the Treaty, many states are well on the way to completing the clearance of landmines and unexploded ordnance from their territories. In addition, numerous civilian service providers now provide land release operations and risk education – little of this existed prior to the 1990s.
But much work remains to be done. The United Nations currently supports national Mine Action Programmes in nearly fifty countries and territories. In partnership with Governments and NGOs, we have been successful in strengthening the capacity of national authorities to plan and implement these programmes.
At the UN, we continue to advocate the universal ratification of the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention, the Convention on Cluster Munitions, and Protocol V of the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons. We applaud the recent accession of Tuvalu to the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention, and also South Sudan's expression of consent to be bound by it.
Among UN agencies, UNDP, UNICEF, and the UN Mine Action Service (UNMAS) within the Department for Peace Keeping Operations (DPKO) provide technical and co-ordination support, assist with capacity building, and help mobilise funding for affected states around the world. Other United Nations' departments and agencies are also involved in mine action activities in accordance with their own mandates and areas of expertise.
UNDP itself currently works in support of national mine action programmes in close to forty countries. The framework provided by the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention, now accompanied by the Convention on Cluster Munitions and Protocol V of the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons, helps facilitate our work and mobilize the partnerships and resources needed. Each year, more and more states are reporting on the destruction of stockpiled munitions, the clearance of contaminated areas, and the assistance provided to landmine survivors, other victims, and affected communities.
At the beginning of this year, I visited Yemen, which over the past fifteen years has developed, with the support of many present here today, a national mine action institution. Despite recent setbacks, Yemen continues to target fulfillment of its obligations under the Convention by achieving complete clearance of landmines by 1 March 2015. It now has the oversight, management, and knowledge locally to do this, but, as in many other affected states, it continues to require technical and financial support to complete the task. Yemen's programme for land mine clearance is some $10 million underfunded for the next four years – and it is only one of many countries needing more international support.
There is a strong link between effective mine action and progress on the Millennium Development Goals. With the legacy of decades of conflict, our hosts here in Cambodia understand this well. The contamination of so much land in this country with landmines has resulted in more than 63,900 deaths and injuries over the past three decades.
The Government of Cambodia has added demining, removing the explosive remnants of war, and victim assistance as its ninth Millennium Development Goal, recognizing that their continued presence is a significant constraint on development. In partnership with UNDP and other development partners, the Government has strengthened the capacities of its mine action sector. In 2010 it adopted a ten-year National Mine Action Strategy to achieve the objectives set by the AP Mine Ban Convention and its ninth Millennium Development Goal.
Overall, the progress over the last two decades of mine action in Cambodia has been impressive – with a reduction in the number of victims from 4,320 in 1996 to 286 in 2010. The invaluable experience gained here is now being shared with other countries through South-South knowledge exchanges.
Demining operators here have cleared some 700 square kilometers of contaminated land from mines and explosive remnants of war. That has provided hundreds of thousands of Cambodians with safe land for resettlement, agriculture, and infrastructure development. Allow me to congratulate you, Prime Minister, on the leadership of your government on this programme, which has been pivotal to its success.
To broaden the development impact of mine action, it needs to be integrated into national development strategies. In Mozambique, for example, the national Mine Action Plan for 2008-2014 supports the national poverty reduction plan as a cross-cutting issue with impact across development sectors. The challenge is to ensure that all relevant ministries and local authorities take account of mine action issues in the development and implementation of their respective development plans.
Our shared goal of achieving a world free of mines requires continued commitment. UNDP has developed a completion initiative programme to address the remaining threats posed by both landmines and cluster munitions. Sustained and predictable funding from both international and national sources will enable all states to reach their mine clearance commitments.
The sustainability and cost-effectiveness of our efforts will require strong national leadership to steer the implementation of the treaty's provisions: to clear mined areas, to destroy stockpiles, and to enable life with dignity for victims.
I wish all present a successful conference which contributes to achieving the complete clearance of landmines.

This unique dish pulls together ingredients you wouldn't expect. The result is a harmonious, super-flavorful, and refreshing salad.
Slice the tops and bottoms off of grapefruits. Stand each one on its end on a cutting board, and slice off the peel, cutting from top to bottom to expose the flesh. Cut along the edge of each segment to separate the segments from the membrane, and place the segments in a large bowl, along with any juice that remains.
In a small bowl, combine the oil, lime juice, a pinch of salt, and 2-3 tablespoons of juice from the bowl of grapefruit segments. Whisk well to incorporate.
Add the fennel and mint to the bowl of grapefruit and toss to combine. Drizzle with the dressing, and toss well. Gently fold in the sliced avocado and sprinkle with cracked coriander, if using. Season to taste with salt and pepper, garnish with fennel fronds, and serve.

Congresswoman claims a Filner groping (years ago)
Former San Diego mayor allegedly went in for a kiss

Fresno, California, is a Class B drive-through town. Class A drive-through towns are located on an interstate highway. Think Gallup, New Mexico. Gallup, and all other cities in the Class A category, offer the innocent pilgrim an easy, undisturbed passage through their dominion. To get to Fresno, traveling north to south, requires the driver to exit I-5, turn east, travel over farm roads until reaching the outskirts of the aforementioned metropolitan area where one is forced to crawl, stoplight to stoplight, until downtown is reached, assuming downtown is where you want to go. From the south, merely exit I-5 at the bottom of the Grapevine Grade onto crowded, potholed Highway 99, and do your best from there.
Last month the Brookings Institution published a report, based on the 2000 census, that said Fresno has the poorest neighborhoods in the nation. In other words, there are more neighborhoods in Fresno where 40 percent or more of its residents have incomes below the federal poverty line than any other city in the nation. To give you an idea how bad that is, city number 2 is New Orleans.
Fresno is big for a Class B drive-through town: 460,000 municipal population, 1,000,000 metro, yet no one you've heard of was born there or lives there now. Fresno's major university, officially known as California State University, Fresno, plays Division 1-A football in the Western Athletic Conference, a Class B athletic conference.
And yet, from this improbable place, comes a team that has a chance to change its world in one afternoon. I'm talking about the Fresno State Bulldogs versus the No. 1 ranked defending national champion USC Trojans, this Saturday at the Los Angeles Coliseum.
It's all been going along so smoothly for college football. Undefeated USC. Undefeated Texas. Two undefeated teams, ranked No. 1 and 2 all year, playing each other in the Rose Bowl for the national championship.
It will be cliché heaven. Media loves cliché heaven, as do corporations and consumers. "Match-up of the century." "Collision Course." "The Granddaddy of them all." The despised Bowl Championship Series (BCS), is rehabilitated, the status quo is reinforced, and best of all, everybody keeps their job for another year. Go TroHorns!
But, there is, if you squint and look to the north, a diminutive rain cloud on the horizon. By golly, it's a class-B-drive-through-town kind of a rain cloud. The malcontents at Fresno State, led by head coach Pat Hill, have built a national football program that has a chance, on any game day, to beat any other team in the country. Let us break for a moment and consider how hard it is to belly up to the bar and drink with the likes of Ohio State, Miami-Florida, Okalahoma, Notre Dame, Michigan, Florida State, and Alabama.
In order to hang with those programs, you have to recruit the best high school players in North America and do it year after year, decade after decade. The upper ranks, say the top 15 college football programs, play semi-pro ball. No freshman quarterback, running back, or wide receiver is attending that college in order to become a doctor; they're coming on board to try out for the NFL. This is a bonus in some ways because once your college is in the fraternity, no matter how obscure your location, you'll stay a member until things change. Which explains why Norman, Okalahoma, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Tallahassee, Florida, and Columbus, Ohio, are home to top-tier collegiate football programs. Once you're in the fellowship, prospects are eager to sign because you're a known NFL farm team.
But getting there, that's the rub. It must have been fun, back in the beginning, to watch Coach Hill sell, say, the top high school quarterback in Los Angeles. "Come to Fresno and enjoy our wide boulevards and urban nightlife. Proudly tell future employers that you've earned a degree from California State University, Fresno! Glory in competitive college football with yearly match-ups against the likes of San Jose State and Idaho. Get noticed by NFL scouts by way of Fresno community access cable television!"
But, the Bulldogs have arrived. Fresno State is ranked 16th by the AP and USA Today. They're 8--1 this year, their sole loss, by three points, was to No. 10 Oregon. By the way, being ranked is not a new thing. Last year Fresno reached No. 17 and they climbed to No. 8 in 2001. They've been in or near the top 20 long enough so they can recruit by saying they're a top-20 program. A virtuous circle.
USC is favored by 24 points, but Fresno has absolutely nothing to lose. They play, and beat, nationally ranked teams every year. They could flat-out win this one. Or, perhaps, USC will look toward the Rose Bowl and ignore a Class B drive-through town's state college to the point of defeat? I wouldn't bet on either proposition, but you gotta watch.

I noticed that my breasts were sore and nipples were really sensitive about 5 weeks into the pregnancy. Everyone is different and everyone will experience these symptoms at different stages, some may not experience them at all.
Good luck.

My breasts were swollen and tender right from the beginning. I didn't find out I was pregnant until I was about 4 or 5 weeks and my breasts had already gotten larger prior to that.
Some women don't even experience these symptoms. Everyone is different.

No swollen breasts and tenderness
I am pregnant but I have no signs of pregnancy. But with my previous pregnancies I had swollen and tender breast from the start and miscarried those times and now I dont even have a swollen belly.
I am concerned that I might miscarry again and too scared to go see the gynae.

Still undecided as who to go dressed as this Halloween? Looking for the best way to show off that you are the ultimate gamer geek? Then how about dressing up as everyone's favorite SPARTAN from the Halo series? Available now, you can own your own fully licensed Master Chief costume. Be warned, however. This costume will set you back a few dineros. Actually – this costume will set you back a lot.{ad}
But look at it this way. This isn't some cheesy flimsy plastic costume mask held on with a rubber band along with matching plastic apron and a picture of Master Chief on it. Oh no. This is a bona fied Master Chief costume that has a quilted jumpsuit with EVA armor and comes with a two-piece helmet, gauntlets, and boot tops. It comes in one size which which will fit a 42-44 inch chest. Sorry – no weapons included.
So even if you have trouble kicking some Covenant backside in the videogame series, at least this Halloween you can dress up like like you are ready to rumble. Unfortunately the rumble will also be felt in your wallet when this costume sets you back US$629.99. But hey – this Master Chief costume was originally priced at US$849.99, so you are getting $220 price break in time for Halloween.
Just remember, Halloween is in a few days, so if interested you better order one overnight soon.

LL Cool J ft. J Lo All I have Lyrics
(Love is life,
And Life Is Living,
It's Very Special)
(LL Cool J): Baby don't go...baby don't go
(J.Lo): Yeah...
(LL Cool J): Baby don't go...baby don't go
(J.Lo): Yeah...
(LL Cool J): Baby don't go...baby don't go
(J.Lo): Yeah yeah...
(J.Lo) Its such a shame but I'm leaving
Can't take the way you mistreating me
And it's crazy, but oh baby
it don't matter whatever don't faze me
(LL Cool J) I don't believe you wanna leave like this
I don't believe I just had my last real kiss
I do believe we'll laugh and reminisce
Wait a minute don't bounce baby
Let's talk about this, man
(J.Lo) Well I'm bouncing and I'm out son
I gotta leave you alone
'Cause I'm good
Holding down my spot
And I'm good
Reppin' the girls on the block
And I'm good
I got this thing on lock
So without me you'll be fine, right?
(J.Lo): All my pride is all I have
(LL Cool J): Pride is what you had, baby girl I'm what you have
(J.Lo): You'll be needing me but too bad
(LL Cool J): Be easy, don't make decisions when you're mad
(J.Lo): The path you chose to run alone
(LL Cool J): I know you're independent you can make it on your own
(J.Lo): Here with me you had a home
(LL Cool J): Time is of the essence, why spend it alone?
(J.Lo) The nights I've waited up for you
Promises you made about coming through
So much time you wasted,
That's why I had to replace you
(LL Cool J) It makes a cat nervous the thought of settling down
Especially me, I was creeping all over town
I thought my tender touch could lock you down
I knew I had you as c___y as it sounds
The way you used to giggle right before I put it down
It's better when you're angry come here I'll prove it now (come here)
(J.Lo) Stop playing, you gaming, I got to leave you alone
'Cause im good
Holding down my spot
And I'm good
Reppin' the girls on the block
And I'm good
I got this thing on lock
So without me you'll be fine, right?
(LL Cool J) People make mistakes, to make up, to break up
To wake up cold and lonely
And chill baby you know me, you love me, I'm like your homie
Instead of beefing come hold me, I promise I'm not a phony
Don't bounce baby, console me...come here
(J.Lo) Ain't nothin' you can say to me that can change my mind
I gotta let you go now
Nothin' will ever be the same
So just be on your way, go ahead and do your thing now
And there's no more to explain to me, you know
I know you're game I'm not feelin' what you do (and I'm good)
So I'm bouncing and I'm out son (and I'm good)
I gotta leave you alone, yeah yeah...
(Chorus x 2)

Shelter from the economic storm
While the nation felt an economic chill, the veterinary community in California recently found itself under a particularly ominous cloud. A proposed veterinary service tax in the state budget threatened to add pressure on veterinarians already struggling to charge fair prices. Everyone's first reaction was pretty unanimous—eyes widened and nostrils flared. Then, a knee-jerk reaction followed: "My clients can't absorb that. I'll have to lower prices!"
Fortunately, as the consequences of the proposed tax became clearer, the impulse to duck and cover was replaced by a groundswell of determination. Drs. Amy Nagy, MRCVS, and Laura Werner, DACVS, saw the opportunity to reach out to their community. Armed with information provided by the California Veterinary Medical Association, they encouraged their team to learn about the proposed tax. Together, they e-mailed clients a Web link where they could voice their opposition. The veterinarians visited farms and stables and passed out flyers they printed at the clinic.
Their voices, and the voices of so many people like them, were heard. The proposed tax was withdrawn and the position of the local veterinarian as a reference point for horse- and pet-owning communities was further confirmed. Drs. Nagy and Werner and the entire staff of The Equine Center in San Luis Obispo, Calif., took a potential morale-killer and used it to create a powerful team-building experience.Here's the beauty of this story: In most instances, the larger the problem, the more paralyzed or helpless we feel. But rather than freeze up, California veterinarians took an impending crisis and responded by doing what they do best: educating people about options and opportunities and helping to make a difference.
When wicked economic weather whips your practice, it's time for the leader within you to rise up. If you manage, own, or oversee any part of an equine practice, now is not the time to sit on the bench. News of the recession, layoffs, and plummeting financial numbers is bumming out your team members. Take heart, veterinarians and practice managers: You may not be able to control the country's collective anxiety, but you can start shoring up team member morale right now. Here are some tips to maintain a positive atmosphere inside even when it's a rainy day outside.
Even during good times, you work long hours, juggle multiple responsibilities, deal with unexpected circumstances, and face the challenge of leading free-willed individuals toward a common goal. The same holds true for bad times. All practices go through tough times and growing pains.
A few years ago, The Equine Center underwent a transition from a general practice to a surgical and critical care facility. The staff was committed, but change brings turbulence. The ICU schedule combined with a new level of training was daunting.
On a day when confidence was faltering, a client called to say he was bringing in a "dummy foal." The client didn't have much hope. Most of the center's staff had never treated an NMS (neonatal maladjustment syndrome) foal, while others had never seen one survive. As they unloaded the filly from the van, the team's discouragement was hard to ignore.
Dr. Olivia Inoue, DACVS, on the other hand, was in full swing. She quickly got the team so involved in treatment that they were too busy to form conclusions about their patient's fate. To an observer, the scene looked like a high-speed blur. Medications and catheter in, fluids started, seizures controlled, extra bedding added, mare milked out, more medications, eyes taped, and so on.
Later, as the filly lay quietly and the team stood by catching its breath, Dr. Inoue called the farm with an update. The manager was surprised to hear that the foal was alive and he was curious. "So what drugs did you give her?" he asked. Caught off guard by the question, the doctor said, "What drugs did I give her?" She looked around at the windblown staff and the aftermath of the last two hours and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Well ... all of them." The staff and the client cracked up.
The real wonder unfolded over the next couple of weeks as the foal slowly woke up to the world. One of the technicians took photos of the foal's progress and created a PowerPoint presentation for the hospital's library. Toward the end of the slide show, a perfectly normal, mischievous foal musses up a technician's hair. Then there's a final picture of her following the doctor up a trailer ramp. The entire staff is there to see her off.
This patient had a unifying effect on the whole team. The team was proud of each other, proud of themselves, and more confident that regardless of what came their way, they could pull together and give it their best.

ChoiceNet: Network Innovation Through Choice
Computer networks, in particular the Internet, represent essential infrastructure for business, government, military, and personal communication. Several recent trends in technology and network use have pushed the capabilities required of the Internet beyond what can be provided by the currently deployed infrastructure. To address these limitations, the network community has developed a variety of technologies to adapt the functionality of network protocols and services. A critical question that remains unanswered is how to integrate these technologies into an ecosystem that involves users, service providers, and developers in such a way that new ideas can be deployed and used in practice.

A water main break caused a small sinkhole in Hartford early Sunday morning.
According to MDC, crews responded to a 6-inch water main break at 25 Harper Street around 3 a.m.
Nine multi-family homes located between 34 Harper Street and Love Lane were without water while crews worked to repair the break. Water service was fully restored by 7:30 a.m., according to MDC.
The water from the break washed out some of the subsurface material on Harper Street, causing a small sinkhole. The front passenger tire of a car parked there sunk into the hole and was towed away by Hartford police.
Authorities worked throughout the morning to repair the road. MDC said the project was expected to be finished by 9 a.m.

Stable owners accused of causing the death of a horse-lover must have their cases heard at crown court.
Fifty-four-year-old Stephen Hill and his 53-year-old wife Carol Hill were bailed to appear at Preston Crown Court on October 17 by District Judge Jeff Brailsford sitting at Blackpool Magistrates' Court, Lancs, today.
The couple who live on Coastal Road, Bolton-le-Sands, near Carnforth, run the Beaumont Farm Equitation Centre, Beaumont Grange Farm, Slyne-with-Hest, Lancaster.
It was at their equitation centre that 45 year old Charlotte Louise Conroy-Taylor died after a one ton hay bale fell on her.
She was preparing the stable used by her daughter's horse, Flash, as the 13-year-old girl rode the animal. Mrs Conroy-Taylor worked for the Youth Offending Team in Lancaster before her death.
The Hills face two charges brought under the Health and Safety Act. They are accused of exposing Mrs Conroy-Taylor to risk by failing to make sure the stack of hay bales in the livery yard was safe and stable on May 31 2011.
They are also alleged to have failed in their duty of care by failing to check the safety of the stack, that it was not too high , it was properly supported and regularly checked.
They are further accused of failing to provide safety warnings to prevent unauthorised people climbing on the stack and failing to make a risk assessment of the stack.
Barry Berlin, prosecuting for Lancashire CIty Council, outlined the prosecution's case to the judge. Lawyers for the defendants said their clients would not indicate a plea at this stage.
Members of Mrs Conroy-Taylor's family, including her teenage daughter, Zara, were in the public gallery to hear the case.

we can start fondly looking back on Global Warming as one of those wacky 80s and 90s trends that just didn't carry over to this century.
1996 was a good year. Al Gore was a Vice President dreaming of one day sitting in the big chair. Celine Dion topped the music charts and Global Warming came to an end.
The figures, which have triggered debate among climate scientists, reveal that from the beginning of 1997 until August 2012, there was no discernible rise in aggregate global temperatures. This means that the 'plateau' or 'pause' in global warming has now lasted for about the same time as the previous period when temperatures rose, 1980 to 1996. Before that, temperatures had been stable or declining for about 40 years.
Human-caused global warming is dead as a doornail. China's industrialization since 1996 alone disproves the connection between production and rising temperatures.
But the good news is that we can start fondly looking back on Global Warming as one of those wacky 80s and 90s trends that just didn't carry over to this century. Global Warming has become the relic of a quaint time of big hair and big dreams when children that picking up litter off the beach would save the planet from some unspecified evil and that the ozone layer was about to break open like some giant space-zit and cover the earth in radioactive mutants.
We know better now. It's time for all the people making millions and billions from a dated 90s scam to come clean and cut out this nonsense.
Doesn't Al Gore have enough money already?

Do I need some kind of special bios version, or do I have to disable some bios settings? I tried everything from deactivting SpeedStep, AHCI - first each, and then together.
Since so many of you have successfully installed SL - care to help?
BTW: I got a MSI Wind U90 (should be hardware-wise the same) with 2GB RAM, Bios-Version "EN011IMS Ver. 10E" (from 09/01/2009). I used my Snow Leopard upgrade disc for the third step.

Slouching Towards Fogeyville
Last month I wrote about digital immigrants and digital natives. The immigrants are the adults – teachers and administrators – who have had to learn technology piece by piece with each advancement. The natives have never known a world without technology and are often far more proficient than the adults in their lives.
As an immigrant I have to admit to being a little discouraged trying to keep up with it all. But it turns out that technology advances so swiftly that even the natives have generation gaps spanning just a few years. Larry Rosen, a professor of psychology at California State University, Dominguez Hills, has written a book about these gaps. It's called, Rewired: Understanding the iGeneration and the Way They Learn.
The Net Generation, born in the 1980s, says Rosen, spends a couple of hours talking on the phone and still uses email frequently. The iGeneration, born in the 90s and 2000s, spends more time texting than talking on the phone and communicates over instant messaging networks.There are other differences too, but of particular interest is that according to Rosen, the iGeneration expects instant responses and is impatient with anything less. You have to wonder how this is going to play out in school.
Except at the elementary level, schools are not exactly "instant" responders. That paper you wrote? Back in three weeks. Results from those state tests? Maybe in a few months. Application to college? Some time late spring. But imagine how much quicker kids could learn with faster feedback. Instead of practicing errors, they could adjust and correct quickly before those errors are ingrained.
Of course, some delays are inevitable and patience is a virtue. But the simple lesson here is to give kids feedback in a timely fashion so they still recall the point of instruction. The days of the teacher who collected homework, "seasoned it" for a few weeks, and then pitched it when kids had forgotten about it are long gone. The iGeneration isn't the end of the line; just the latest iteration.

ISP: Parking Spot Smackdown
Are you a fan of the Rihanna song "Umbrella?" It was one of those songs I listened to on repeat for about two weeks and then forgot about, like most top 40 hits.
But then I found this cover by Mandy Moore. I know, I know. But give it a listen. It's actually pretty good and completely changes the feeling of the song. Plus, it has more chutzpah than the cover by Marie Digby, whose voice doesn't quite have the maturity a song like "Umbrella" merits.
That was my VH1 moment, now back to "Irregularly Scheduled Programming."
WCBS-TV in New York City captured this amazing video of a dentist losing his cool over a parking spot. Frankly, he went a lot further than losing some cool. He's to be charged with assault and harassment according to the reporter.
Check out our show today for two great pieces of video from the Clinton campaign trail. First, a little mishap in Iowa when a row of flags toppled over as Sen. Clinton made her exit.
The second video is from a Q&A at an Iowa town hall. A Grinnell College student says she was told by a Clinton staffer to ask a question about global warming. She did so, and then went and reported the "planted" question incident to the college newspaper.
How often has the campaign done this? They're responding to the story today.

Microsoft officially announced today that they would be dropping the retail price of their 360 Core pack. UK gamers will save £10 (18USD) on each console, which is now priced at £199. The price drop is not surprising considering that retails stores in the UK have been selling the Core pack at this price for the past few weeks.
The Premium version of the 360, which includes a hard drive still has a RRP of GBP 279, and Microsoft refused to comment on whether a price drop for the premium package would come before Christmas. The price drop for the core system sees it close the gap between its American priced counterpart, with the difference now standing at £41 (77USD).
So, while British gamers are still being charged less, they can sleep safely tonight with the knowledge that at least Microsoft (sort of) loves them.

This psu is an unfortunate one. Its top performing with a 25A combined 12V rail, enough SATA and molex connectors. Its also quiet - effectively silent in even quiet pcs. Voltage stability is passable though the 12V rail runs a bit high at 12.5V in lighter systems. Its reasonably efficient. The cables aren't sleaved but it is a budget designated PSU. However this doesn't save it from its defective design.
This big issue here is the cheap fuhhjyya capacitors employed, combined with a low noise design, which therefore means less airflow, and therefore it runs hot even on a light computer. So while it runs fine for 6 months, once the cheap capacitors can't handle the 50deg celcius interior typical of it - since the rear fan doesn't even spin when idling, so heat builds up. They start to fail, leaking out electrolyte, ripple on the voltage rails increase until the psu fails. If your unlucky it will have damaged some computer components with it. The chance of failure is influenced by where its position - ones mate who had one failed in only 3 months because it was in a cramped case with no case fans providing airflow. Still any decent psu would handle that situation fine. The one I've got is going ok until recently when random crashes are starting to occur. So unfortunate since its a solid design otherwise. Anyone looking at Antec psu's should stear clear of this model, grab a newer earthwatts instead as they have better quality capacitors that wont fail in as little as 6 months.
For anyone interested, heres some example pictures of leaky failed fuhhjyya caps that plague all the antec smartpower and truepower psu's (except newer truepower trio)

Shares of Parker-Hannifin Corporation (PH - Free Report) reached a 52-week high of $122.52 on Monday, Dec 9, 2013. However, the stock closed at $120.79, representing a one-year return of about 43.9% and a decent year-to-date return of about 37.8%. Average volume of shares traded over the last three months stands at approximately 978,306.
Strong balance sheet, strong acquisitions and the company's ability to consistently raise dividends are some of the growth catalysts for the company. In addition, the company reported improved results for the first quarter of 2014.
Parker delivered positive earnings surprises in the last four quarters with an average beat of 2.94%. This Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) company has a market cap of $18.03 billion and a long-term expected earnings growth rate of 9.5%.
Parker's Strengths
Parker has a strong balance sheet and generates a strong cash flow. Over the past decade, Parker Hannifin has increased its operating cash flow from just $0.5 billion in 2001 to $1.8 billion in 2013. At the end of the first quarter, Parker's cash and cash equivalents were $1.94 billion with long-term debt of $1.5 billion and a debt to capitalization ratio of 19.8% compared with 20.7% in the last quarter.
The company gives good dividend hikes, reflecting its commitment to return value to shareholders. For fiscal 2013, the company has consecutively raised its dividend four times by 5%, reflecting a yield of 1.5%.
In addition, Parker follows a Win Strategy that primarily aims to measure customer service excellence through efficient business and cash management strategies.
Improved 1Q14 Earnings
Parker-Hannifin reported first-quarter fiscal 2014 earnings per share of $1.61, which was 9.5% above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.47. Earnings also grew 2.5% year over year driven by incremental orders in the quarter.
Total revenue in the first quarter increased marginally by 0.6% year over year to $3.23 billion from $3.21 billion in the year-ago quarter. Weak performance in the American market continued to affect the company's revenues. However, this was offset by strong operational performance during the quarter. Revenues fell marginally short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.24 billion.
Further, following the first quarter earnings release, the company increased its fiscal 2014 guidance. Earnings from continuing operations for fiscal 2014 are currently expected to be in the range of $7.78 to $8.38 per share, up from its earlier guidance of $7.35 to $8.15 per share.
The guidance includes an expected gain of approximately $1.68 per share associated with a previously-announced joint venture agreement between Parker Aerospace and GE Aviation, an operating unit of General Electric Company (GE - Free Report) , and restructuring expenses of approximately $100 million or 47 cents per share.
Estimate Revisions
Over the last 60 days, 4 out of 8 estimates for 2014 have been revised upward while none moved lower. Thus, the Zacks Consensus Estimate improved 1.9% to $6.53 per share. For 2015, 4 out of 10 estimates moved upward, helping the Zacks Consensus Estimate advance 1.7% to $8.18 per share.
The company is confident of delivering a better fiscal 2014. The company is upbeat about its accretive acquisitions and its strong balance sheet. Further, the order trends for the company are also improving. In addition, the company's consistently strong performance in its Aerospace segment is giving it a good momentum in that industry with improvement in orders.
Other Stocks to Consider
Other stocks in the machinery and motion control industry that are currently performing well and have a good visibility include Xylem Inc. (XYL - Free Report) with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and DXP Enterprises, Inc. (DXPE - Free Report) that carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

Over at ch00ftech they have a neat way to build a business card. Open up a simple paint program on your computer, plug in the business card, and watch your logo drawn in real time.
If you've been following my blog, you probably read up on my last attempt at creating a cooler business card. The basic concept was to design a small circuit that when connected to a computer via USB will emulate a mouse and draw out a design. This utilized the ATTiny85 and VUSB platform which makes writing USB peripherals very easy.
The problem with the original design was that I was controlling the mouse in an open loop manner. I was telling the mouse cursor which way to go, but I had no way to read back the cursor's position. I couldn't account for minor inaccuracies brought about by things like mouse acceleration settings, and the design ended up getting distorted.
After writing that post, I realized that it's possible to configure a mouse to be an absolute input device. An absolute input device is something like a graphics tablet where the device selects precisely where the mouse cursor should go.

Best Australian police show.
Posted by Wayne on 9/10/2017
Thanks Crawfords for bringing this great Australian show on DVD.Top quality DVD.Still stands up well today.A+++.
Posted by David on 18/07/2017
Love Division 4. Real actors portraying real people that you can relate to. Oh and Frank Banner drives a HK Holden Cop Car with a Column Gear Change. Takes me back as this was my first car. Great car, Great Show ! What more can I say ?
Posted by Bruce on 15/02/2017
I ordered Volume 1 of Division 4, along with Volume 1 of Homicide on Monday morning.
Both DVD's arrived 2 days later.
Excellent quality and 5 Star service from Crawfords.
Highly recommended and I will be ordering more.
Takes me back to my younger days
Posted by Tim Donahoo on 14/02/2017
It's excellent that iconic Aussie TV drama is available for viewing 50 years after it first aired. Well done to Crawfords for having the foresight to package great memories and also key examples of popular culture in these collections. They are well presented and video quality is excellent. I watched Division 4 keenly as a youngster, especially with my grandparents who loved it so it's great I can now share this with my family.
The best of Australian Television
Posted by Trevor Dunen on 14/02/2017
I grew up with Division Four. It was mandatory viewing for all us kids in the late sixities and the seventies.
My brother Ashley Dunen was lucky enough one day to meet Gerard Kennedy on set on location in Yarraville.
I loved the show, the brilliant cast and the excellent acting, or over acting by today's standards. I hope to watch every episode, it brings back a lot of happy memories, but also a few sad ones. Rest in Peace my old Yarraville State School buddy Peter McNay. We used to watch the show together as kids. The other big plus is that you have a snapshot of what the Streets and Suburbs of Melbourne looked like back then. Also the clothing they wore and the language they used is living history. You won't find them on Face book or using mobile phones on Division 4!! This is raw and real Australian TV at it's best. I actually wondered when Crawfords would show their business acumen and start releasing their back catalogue. Hunter, Matlock Police and Homicide and many others. Well done Crawfords.
Posted by Jeanette on 14/02/2017
Bought for Dad for Fathers Day. He loves it. Will get the rest of the volumes for him.
Great for Collectors
Posted by Unknown on 14/02/2017
These early TV shows will certainly bring me memories.
Good old fashioned tv
Posted by Unknown on 14/02/2017
Both this and homicide are the only tv series that I watch whilst not doing anything else. A bit corny but lots of local street scenery and old fashioned values.
Truly Great Show
Posted by Gordon Proctor on 14/02/2017
Great memories of one of my favorite shows, it is really great to be finally able to see so many early episodes that I missed of Division 4, do yourself a favor and buy Divison 4 for yourself, you won't regret it.
I hope that you also release both Matlock Police and Hunter on DVD soon also.
Ps keep up the good work Crawfords and keep releasing the whole series please.
Love Division 4
Posted by Dave on 14/02/2017
Love Division 4, as a kid it was my favorite show. Well done Crawfords. Arrived in excellent condition and promptly.
Great Memories
Posted by Phil on 14/02/2017
Great show with excellent story lines, each episode one whole hour with no commercials. Absolute bliss.

Great Show
Posted by Peter on 14/02/2017
I remember watching Homicide & Division 4 as a kid in the 1970s & was amazed I could still get these TV series. It's brilliant especially as I moved to Melbourne & was filmed here. Love the tackiness of the sets & the acting. I'm working my way through the whole lot eventually.

Porsche Design Hammer Drill
A Porsche drill? And not just a normal power drill, but a hammer drill. Prosche design has teamed up with Metabo to create this new take on the hammer drill. Made of carbon fiber, aluminum and a unique ergonomic handle it would seem that this would be a great tool. So what's not to love?
Well, it is a tool after all, and one that is likely to take a pretty good beating. That aluminum and carbon fiber exterior may not look quite as nice after being dropped a few (or more) times. You also risk recreating that scene in Zoolander where he quits modeling and goes back to work with his brothers at the coal pits. Pretty tools plus a dirty work site equals merman, merman.
