text: [[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mopping.jpg]]''Nab him! Jab him! Tab him! Grab him! Stop that pigeon, now!''One of [[WesternAnimation/ThePerilsOfPenelopePitstop two]] {{Spin Off}}s from ''WesternAnimation/WackyRaces'', this series is best remembered for its bizarre aircraft designs. Dick Dastardly led the Vulture Squadron in pursuit of the courier Yankee Doodle Pigeon. The squadron's other members were Muttley, the snickering dog who was always begging for a medal; Klunk, the aircraft mechanic who spoke mainly in vocal sound effects, and Zilly, the nervous coward whose only redeeming virtue was his ability to translate Klunk's speech for Dastardly. The Mean Machine, Dastardly's car from the Wacky Races, could be seen frequently in this series as well.Although this cartoon was set during UsefulNotes/WorldWarI, Dastardly always had access to a telephone, even in flight, over which the general communicated with him. Just as Dastardly never won a Wacky Race, he never caught the pigeon. There were two Dastardly & Muttley cartoons along with "Wing Dings," which were short comedy blackouts. A supporting segment, ''Magnificent Muttley'', concerned Muttley's [[MrImagination flights of heroic fantasy]]. The series' [[TalkingToHimself entire voice cast]] consisted of Creator/DonMessick and Creator/PaulWinchell. Messick even provided the falsetto voices of Muttley's girlfriends in the ''Magnificent Muttley'' segments.----!!This series provides examples of:* AbhorrentAdmirer: The Swedish farm maiden who takes a shining to Zilly in "Barnstormers."* AgelessBirthdayEpisode: Two of them. One involves Muttley's birthday, and in the other, Dick Dastardly thinks it's the general who is having a birthday.* AlliterativeName: Dick Dastardly. In the comic adaptation of the episode "Camouflage Hoparoo" (Gold Key, Hanna-Barbera Fun-In #2 as "It's Flop and Go-Go"), The General is identified as General Gibberish.* {{Angrish}}: Muttley's "sanafrazzin rasafrassin." Dastardly has done this a couple of times as well as a lampshade.* AnimatedSeries* AntiSneezeFinger: One episode featured the Anti-Sneeze missile, which would hit anyone who sneezes. A misfired pepper shot forced the Vulture Squadron members to use the Anti-Sneeze Finger technique to avoid being targeted. [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption It ended as well as expected in that cartoon]].* BadassMustache: Dick Dastardly* BambooTechnology: In "Have Plane Will Travel", the General transfers the Vulture Squadron to an island where Klunk makes planes out of whatever they can find.* BerserkButton: Never try to confiscate a medal from Muttley - he has plenty of teeth.** On one occasion, Dastardly's is having his crew call him "D-D". However, this nickname is used countless times in the series, and most of the time he doesn't seem to mind.* BirthdayEpisode: Two.** One episode was where they celebrated Muttley's birthday.** The other was where they tried to celebrate the general's birthday but found out that it was actually Dick's birthday.* BlindingBangs: Klunk.* BlindingCameraFlash: Muttley does this to Dastardly in "Lens a Hand".* BrokeEpisode: In "A Plain Shortage of Planes", after the Vulture Squadron's regular planes are destroyed during the team's first attempt to catch the pigeon, the General informs Dastardly there are no new planes available for them. The squadron's attempts to catch the pigeon for the rest of the episode include a plane bought from [[HonestJohnsDealership Bargain Bill's Used Plane Lot]] and whatever Klunk can build from the remaining parts of planes used in past attempts.* BunglingInventor: Klunk.* CatchThatPigeon: the TropeNamer.* CatchPhrase: Dastardly's "Drat and double drat!" Also:--> '''Dastardly:''' (''plummeting to the ground'') "MUTTLEY! DO SOMETHING!"--> '''Zilly:''' [[OhCrap "Oh my! Oh dear!"]]--> '''Muttley:''' (''when demanding a medal'') "Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme!"* ChestOfMedals: Muttley imagines himself this way in "Sky-Hi I.Q."* CircusEpisode: The ''Magnificent Muttley'' short "The Big Topper" has Muttley imagining himself and Dick Dastardly as rival circus performers.* ComicBookAdaptation: ''Dastardly and Muttley'' appeared in nine issues of Creator/GoldKeyComics' ''Hanna-Barbera Fun-In'' (first series, February 1970 - January 1972) and two issues of ''Golden Comics Digest'' (''Hanna-Barbera TV Fun Favorites'' issues #7 and #10). In many stories not distilled from TV episodes, gunfire is used quite a bit. Also, the General--always heard but never seen on the show--is shown in two stories but in different designs, by Mike Arens ("Heroic Dum-Dums", issue #4) and Jack Manning ("Bug Brained", issue #7).* CoolCar: The Mean Machine.* {{Cool Plane}}s* CrashCourseLanding: Four more inept pilots you will never find.** Although in "Sky-Hi I.Q.," it's shown that Dick Dastardly is the only pilot with some semblance of competency. * CrashingDreams: This happens to Muttley at the end of every ''Magnificent Muttley'' short.* DastardlyWhiplash: Dick Dastardly, the first TropeNamer.* DirtyCoward: Zilly* DisproportionateRetribution: In "Sky-Hi I.Q.," Muttley becomes leader of the Vulture Squadron and is subjected to the same HumiliationConga that Dastardly usually goes through. When Dastardly has command reassigned to him (thanks to a screw-up by the efficiency expert who issued aptitude tests to the squadron), he consigns Muttley to 60 days in the dog house (literally).* DitzyGenius: Dastardly* TheDragAlong: Zilly* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: The General* EvilDebtCollector: In a "Magnificent Muttley" segment, Muttley found a treasure chest and Dick Dastardly disguised himself as a tax collector to "seize" the treasure as payment for back taxes. [[spoiler:The joke was on Dastardly, as the chest contained nothing but dog biscuits.]]* {{Expy}}: Muttley is an expy of two Hanna-Barbera dogs--Mugger from the movie ''Hey, There...It's WesternAnimation/YogiBear'' and Precious Pupp from ''WesternAnimation/TheAtomAntShow''. When he was developed for ''Wacky Races'', his initial model sheets gave his name as "Sniffer." His wheezing snicker was first used by a smart-aleck dog that gave Huckleberry Hound a hard time some 10 years prior.** The laugh may be even older than that, as the evil bulldog in Creator/TexAvery's ''WesternAnimation/BadLuckBlackie'' also does one (when he isn't giving with a belly laugh).* EyebrowWaggle: Muttley.* TheFaceless: The General. Given his nature of contact with Dick Dastardly in the show, it's no surprise.* TheFantasticTropeOfWonderousTitles: Probably a reference to ''Film/ThoseMagnificentMenInTheirFlyingMachines''.* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: A given for Dick Dastardly's antics.* FileMixup: In "Shy-Hi IQ", the General sends an efficiency expert to evaluate the Vulture Squadron. The expert deems Muttley the only squadron member to be a competent pilot and makes him the squadron's new leader. He eventually finds out he mixed up Muttley's test with Dick Dastardly's.* {{Foreshadowing}}: In "Fur Out Furlough", Dick Dastardly comments that the 30-day furlough will be all his, prompting Muttley to growl at him until he adds the furlough will be Muttley's as well. That foreshadows a RunningGag between the two characters in ''WesternAnimation/YogisTreasureHunt''.* ForgotICouldFly: Normally, Muttley uses his tail as a propellor to keep him airborne after the Squadron crashes their planes out, but in some cases submits to the same AmusingInjuries as his comrades. In "Sky-Hi I.Q." in particular, Muttley is assigned as Squadron leader, and after he loses ''his'' plane to a botched operation, he plummets to the ground (but is rescued by Dastardly and then sent groundward after Muttley gives him a dinky medal).* ForgottenBirthday: One episode has the Vulture Squadron thinking they forgot the General's birthday and trying to surprise him. It turned out it was actually Dick's birthday and he forgot.* FourPhilosophyEnsemble: Dick Dastardly (Cynic), Muttley (Conflicted), Klunk (Optimist), Zilly (Realist).* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Muttley (Sanguine), Dick Dastardly (Choleric), Zilly (Melancholic), and Klunk (Phlegmatic).* GenreBlind: ''Everybody'' in Vulture Squadron, except for Zilly.* GogglesDoNothing: All five principal characters wear flying hemlets with goggles, but at no time are the goggles seen covering their eyes.* GotVolunteered: In "Too Many Kooks", Dick Dastardly is tired of Klunk's failed plans to capture Yankee-Doodle Pigeon and "volunteers" Zilly then Muttley to come up with their next plan. When those fail, Dastardly comes up with his own.* GravityIsAHarshMistress* HonestJohnsDealership: The episode "A Plain Shortage Of Planes" has the Squadron getting a beat-up run-down plane at Bargain Bill's Used Plane Lot. Dastardly offers to pony up $10 for it (Bargain Bill asked for $1000, but he took the sawbuck if Dastardly threw in Muttley's medal).* HypocriticalHumor: In "Home Sweet Homing Pigeon," Dastardly's mouth gets stuck in a rope ladder and when he tries to talk, Klunk says, "Talk about me. You're the one who sounds funny!"* IndulgentFantasySegue: The ''Magnificent Muttley'' segments.* InstantIceJustAddCold: An example from "Vacation Trip Trap" provides the page image.* [[JustEatGilligan Just Shoot the Pigeon]]** Played straight in several Gold Key comics stories, where artillery is used against Yankee Doodle quite often.** Klunk 'invented' quite a few gunships. [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption Guess how that turned out.]]* LeeroyJenkins: In "Zilly's a Dilly", Dick Dastardly hires a hypnotist to make Zilly brave. Unfortunately, Zilly becomes too reckless to follow plans and Dastardly decides to turn Zilly back into a coward.* {{Leitmotif}}: Several, but a piece using a rink-tink piano during climactic action scenes would be used on Hanna-Barbera shows up to 1980. On ''WesternAnimation/TheNewScoobyDooMovies'', the episode "The Ghost of the Red Baron" uses it four times.* LiteralMinded: In "Camouflage Hoparoo," Dastardly's desk-plane plummets to the ground, then Muttley emerges from a drawer. Dastardly tells him to do something and [[ExactWords he does]]--he spins his tail as a propellor and floats away from the impending crash.-->'''Dastardly:''' I meant do something for ''all'' of us, you...you deserter!!** A Wing Dings blackout has Dastardly ordering Muttley to find an empty hanger for his coat. Muttley tows in an empty plane hangar and tosses Dastardly's coat in it.-->'''Dastardly:''' I'm sure glad I didn't ask for two shoe trees!* ThoseMagnificentFlyingMachines: They were a key component of the show, of course.* MeaningfulName: General Gibberish.* MidairCollision: The Vulture Squadron does this on a regular basis.* MotionlessChin* MythologyGag: Dastardly's ''Wacky Races'' car, the Mean Machine, can be seen in several installments of the ''Magnificent Muttley'' segment.** The name Vulture Squadron is possibly derived from the ''WesternAnimation/JonnyQuest'' episode "Shadow of the Condor," where the Quest party meet a reclusive German WWI ace in the Andes mountains, who was a member of a flying group called the Condor Squadron.** The name Klunk was first possessed by the lab assistant in the WesternAnimation/MagillaGorilla cartoon "Mad Scientist."* TheNeidermeyer: Dick Dastardly, obviously. The General might also count.* NervousWreck: Zilly. * NoFourthWall: In "Ceiling Zero Zero", after Don Messick as the narrator plays the "umpteenth time" card over and over:-->'''Dastardly:''' (''to narrator'') Oh, dry up! Who's keeping score?* NonFatalExplosions* OnlySaneMan: Zilly in Vulture Squadron.* OfficerAndAGentleman: Near the end of episode "Medal Muddle", Dick Dastardly was falling and had no medal to offer Muttley so, in order to persuade the dog to save him, Dastardly invoked the trope and promised to help Muttley find his lost medals. Dastardly kept good on his promise.** Yankee Doodle Pigeon pleads this of Dastardly in the comic book story "Truce Or Consequences" (see Team Rocket Wins below.)* OffscreenCrash* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Klunk and Zilly.** Zilly is actually a male proper name.* [[PackedHero Packed Villain]]: In one episode, Dick Dastardly gets caught in Klunk's pigeon-packing machine and ends up stuffed in a can labeled "sauerkraut".* PepperSneeze[=/=]SneezeOfDoom* PetTheDog: One one occasion, Dastardly feels guilty for the pressure he has put on Klunk, thinking his inventor has finally lost his marbles when he starts on a particularly crazy invention. * PlagiarismInFiction: ''Magnificent Muttley'' episode [[Creator/LeonardoDaVinci "Leonardo De Muttley"]] featured a King offering a reward to whoever invented a flying machine. Dastardly stole two of Muttley's designs, but both resulted in Dastardly believing he should suggest Leonardo to invent the parachute.* PoliticallyCorrectHistory: It's never said what country the Vulture Squadron is working for.** Given that we can conclude that Yankee Doodle Pigeon is [[CaptainObvious American]], it is almost certain that Vulture Squadron fight for UsefulNotes/ImperialGermany. Of course, the fact that we can only come to this conclusion via indirect deduction (as Vulture Squadron has very little that would mark them as being German) should tell you something. The most telling indication is the StealthPun in the "Packed Villain" example above.*** However, in "Fur Out Furlough", when the General offered a 30-day furlough to whoever caught Yankee Doodle Pigeon, Zilly planned to spend it in Miami and Klunk planned to spend it in Hawaii.* ThePoliticalOfficer: Muttley fits into this role, as much of his job includes being tasked to stop desertion attempts (usually by Zilly).** In "Sky-Hi [=IQ=]", Muttley temporarily became the squadron's leader and Dastardly was the one tasked to stop Zilly's desertion attempt.** In "Who's Who?", when Dick Dastardly lost his memory and nobody else was officially assigned to take over, it was revealed that Muttley won't act the role without being ordered by someone of higher rank than his or offered a medal. Klunk once entered the trope's territory by forcing Zilly (and Muttley) into the plane.* PunchClockVillain: All members of the Vulture Squadron could be considered this. They do not even know why the messages are important, they just follow the orders. Zilly, Klunk and Muttley are ready to leave when their dischargement papers arrive and have to be promised a reward to participate willingly. Even Dick is mostly in it for the money and the medals since he was happy when he got one without having caught the pigeon.* RoadRunnerVsCoyote: Appropriately enough, since one of the writers, Mike Maltese, had previously worked under Creator/ChuckJones on various ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' shorts...including, yes, the Road Runner and Coyote.* ScoobySnacks: Medals act like this for Muttley.* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: In "Home Sweet Homing Pigeon", Zilly attempts to leave after finding out they're doing an operation called Operation Tar and Feathers by rowing away in the air. He's forced to come back when Dastardly threatens to cry if he doesn't get back into formation.* TheSoCalledCoward: In "Windy Windmill", when Zilly's plane becomes the last one available, Dastardly wants the whole squadron to use it and Zilly is concerned that the plane will be overloaded. Dastardly doesn't take it seriously and Zilly's worries about his plane turn out to be well-founded.* SpeechImpairedAnimal: Muttley* StatusQuoIsGod: [[SarcasmMode Spoiler alert]]: they don't catch the pigeon. Ever.* SuddenlyVoiced: Yankee Doodle Pigeon in the comic books. Also Muttley, whose speech impediment is cleared up in a few comics stories.* SuperCellReception: The candlestick phone Dick Dastardly used to communicate with the General had to be cellular. It appeared in the air sans landline and even as far away as Arabia. * SuperheroEpisode: The Magnificent Muttley installment "Super Muttley."* TarAndFeathers: The Vulture Squadron's first attempt to stop the pigeon in "Home Sweet Homing Pigeon" consists on this. Klunk drops the tar and Zilly and Muttley drop the feathers. They miss the target and Dastardly and his plane are hit instead.* TeamRocketWins: Dastardly actually wins one, though not against the pigeon. In "Home Sweet Homing Pigeon", he tricks Muttley, Zilly and Klunk, whose discharges are imminent, into re-enlisting. It ends with Dastardly doing a Muttley snicker.** Subverted in "Stop Which Pigeon?": Dastardly nabs the pigeon after diving into an aerial swimming pool created by Klunk. He then releases the pigeon when he [Dastardly] remembers that he can't swim.** Subverted: The comic book story "Truce or Consequences" (Gold Key, ''Fun-In'' #10, January 1972) has Dick and Muttley luring Yankee Doodle Pigeon over to their side during a 24-hour truce, hypnotizing him and making him pose for photos depicting him as a traitor. With 30 seconds left in the truce and finding himself AWOL, Yankee Doodle consigns himself to the ultimate journey. But his [[AnyLastWords final words]]--"ABOUT FACE!!"--cause Muttley to turn the cannon aimed at him towards Dastardly.** They do catch Yankee Doodle Pigeon in "Heroic Dum-Dums" (''Fun-In'' #4, November 1970) by salting his tail (an old wives' tale). Dastardly and Muttley's assignment was to obtain Yankee Doodle's message satchel, which they do and then they turn him loose, figuring that he'll be humiliated for not completing his mission. The satchel was bogus--it contained a jigsaw puzzle which simply read "Sucker!" while Yankee Doodle kept his ''real'' satchel under his flying helmet. Cue the General relieving Dastardly of his medals.** In ''Magnificent Muttley'', Dastardly manages to make Muttley's dream a nightmare in [[spoiler:''Movie Stuntman'']].** Technically, the whole series may count as a Team Rocket Wins as it was the first cartoon show where the stars of the show are the villains.* ThreeShorts: Plus the "Wing Dings" blackouts.* TheUnintelligible: Klunk, although you can hear him say words between his babbling that clues you in on what he means to say.** Subverted with the General, as if you listen closely, you can tell he's just talking very fast.* TitleConfusion: Due to its EarWorm theme song, the series is often called ''Stop That Pigeon'' or ''Stop the Pigeon.''** Lampshaded in a 1986 episode of ''WesternAnimation/YogisTreasureHunt''. Dick and Muttley capture Snooper and Blabber and tortures them by making them watch episodes of ''Dastardly & Muttley.''-->'''Snooper:''' Oh, no...not "Stop That Pigeon"-type cartoons!-->'''Blabber:''' [[SuckinessIsPainful Our brains will turn to mush!]]** ''Stop That Pigeon'' was the show's original name. The premise initially had Klunk and Zilly with a jolly, jelly-bellied Red Baron-type figure and an orange dachshund in pilot's goggles. Dick and Muttley were originally slated to be good guys (!) in ''WesternAnimation/{{The Perils of Penelope Pitstop}}'' but wound up in this series.* ToiletHumor: An extremely mild version for 1969. In the ''Magnificent Muttley'' installment "Admiral Bird Dog" (with Muttley as the Admiral trekking to the North Pole), Dastardly doesn't see any justification of a dog trying to get to the North Pole: "Now, if it was the North Fire Hydrant, I could understand it!"* TooDumbToLive: Seriously, Muttley, you never thought to consider using your ''other'' finger to [[AntiSneezeFinger stop that sneeze]]...* TranslatorBuddy: Zilly translates Klunk's babbling to the rest of the Squadron.* VictoryByEndurance: The episode "There's no Fuel Like a Re-Fool" starts in the middle of an endurance hunt with the Vulture Squadron waiting until the pigeon is too tired to properly escape. By the time the pigeon is about to be captured, the planes run out of fuel, making it the pigeon's victory. The rest of the episode is centered about the squadron's attempts to make sure fuel won't be a problem anymore.* VillainProtagonist: Dick Dastardly.* TheVoice: The General* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: ** In Gold Key Comics' ''Fun-In'' issues #7 and 10 and the two Golden Comics Digest stories, Klunk and Zilly are conspicuously absent. (Zilly does turn up in the last panel of the issue #7 story.)** At the beginning of "A Plain Shortage of Planes", Dastardly's and Klunk's planes are destroyed when Muttley makes Zilly's crash into them and it kickstarts a plot about the lack of available planes for the Vulture Squadron. However, Muttley's plane wasn't damaged and it's never been confirmed Zilly's was. Neither plane has even been mentioned for the rest of the episode.* UsefulNotes/WorldWarI: InNameOnly, though. The basic look is roughly that, but it doesn't exactly bring up much of anything else. Made [[AnachronismStew completely anachronistic]] in the ''Magnificent Muttley'' short "The Masked Muttley", which starts off showing Dastardly watching a television set.** ''TV Guide'''s synopsis of the show upon its debut from the Sept. 13-19, 1969, issue: "Animated aerial adventures circa World War I."* WrongTurnAtAlbuquerque: The ending of "Ceiling Zero Zero".----

So on my personal phone I always use the gmail App for my accounts.
I just recently started working for a company that doesn't issue cell phones, but will set up your exchange account on your personal phone, so i've gone and done that.
Everything works fine, accept the Exchange account is accessed through the Stock Email app, and it is also synching my 2 gmail accounts. Is it possible to remove the gmail accounts from the Stock email app? I've gone into the app's settings and I can't see anything to remove them. I can see the option to stop the sync, but that does me no good for whats already been synced.
Any tips?

A HOLYROOD politician has taken his concerns about the arming of specialist police in the Highlands to the assistant chief constable of the single force.
John Finnie, the Highlands & Islands MSP, met with Bernard Higgins yesterday after it was revealed officers in the Strathclyde, Tayside and Northern policing areas have been routinely carrying guns for more than a year. Mr Higgins said he outlined the reasons behind the decision during a 'productive' discussion: "While there was not a wholehearted agreement between us there was mutual acknowledgement, respect and understanding for each other's position.
"We are committed to keeping people safe and this includes ensuring that those living in the Highlands and Islands have access to our specialist services when they are needed."

'Open for Business' signs irritant for some Minnesotans
Wisconsin's new Republican governor is taking the same tactic as Minnesota GOP legislators to help the economy: finding ways to help businesses so they can create more jobs.
Gov. Scott Walker toured his state Tuesday, including stops in Hudson and Superior next to Minnesota, touting that Wisconsin is "open for business." Twenty-three signs saying that are being posted at entrances to the state.
Walker pointed out Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton's support for a tax increase on the wealthy as evidence businesses should move to Wisconsin.
"Not only am I working hard to attract business to the state, but the new state Assembly and Senate is already working on legislation in many areas to make the state more business-friendly," Walker said in Hudson. "That will include lowering taxes for businesses and farmers, improvements in access to health care -- we will make sure that our message is more than just a sign. We are serious about improving the business climate and ultimately balancing the budget."
Talking to reporters later, Dayton would not criticize Walker for trying to lure away Minnesota businesses. He said he wants to cooperate with his neighbor to the east.
Minnesota state Rep. Pat Garofalo, R-Farmington, quipped that if Walker has money to erect those signs, he should pay off a $58 million tax bill Wisconsin owes Minnesota. Walker said the new signs cost less than $1,500, but he did not say how much he spent flying around the state announcing the signs.

Kevin Lefsrud's football career will end if he suffers another concussion this season.
After suffering his second concussion of this football season on Saturday night, the Edmonton Eskimos guard has implemented a three-strikes-and-he's-out policy.
"If I get a third concussion (this season) that will be it," said Lefsrud on the phone yesterday.
"It is my own self-preservation."
The 30-year-old Alberta native came out of retirement this year to start on the Eskimo offensive line.
But he was dealt his second concussion in five weeks in the first offensive series against Hamilton on Saturday evening.
"And it wasn't much of a hit," continued Lefsrud.
The contact came against Clinton Wayne. Lefsrud continued with the play, trying to throw a block for Ricky Ray but badly missed the target.
And from there, he doesn't remember actually walking back to the Eskimo bench.
His memory picks up once he was on the sidelines.
"It was a light show going off in my eyes," he recalled.
The good news is that his recovery from this blow to the head is going a lot faster than his last concussion in Vancouver. The seven-year CFL veteran just had a headache yesterday, with no vision problems.
Still, Edmonton head coach Danny Maciocia is listing his valuable guard as "doubtful" for this Saturday's game in Regina.
That means he would be off until at least Labour Day because the Esks have their bye week after the trip to Saskatchewan.
But Maciocia's words might not be as important to Lefsrud as those coming from his three-year-old daughter Kelby.
"The fact my daughter says: 'My dad hurt his head,'" relayed Lefsrud. "That sucks."
Fellow offensive lineman Dan Comiskey completely agrees with Lefsrud's three strike policy of leaving the game.
"That's your life," said Comiskey, referring to the head. "It's everything you are and everything you are going to be."
But Lefsrud is taking solace in the fact he's not afraid to come back to the game right now.
"The nice thing is that it is not making me gun shy," remarked the farmer from Viking. "I'm not going to lose my edge."
But one more concussion in 2007 and the football part of his life is done.
That would leave a big hole for the Esks to fill - especially because Lefsrud is a non-import - but life with a young family and plenty of promise away from the sport is much more important.

Ulster's European Cup hero Bryn Cunningham retires
Bryn Cunningham — the last still-playing member of Ulster's 1999 European Cup-winning side — has announced his retirement.
The full-back, now 32, said it was the hardest thing he has ever had to do.
Cunningham has been plagued by a series of persistent injuries for the past 15 months and having tried and failed to make a full recovery, yesterday he announced his decision to call it a day.
An elbow injury gave way to a ruptured hamstring followed by a knee problem, which required surgery. That failed to solve the problem.
Until very recently the hugely popular Cunningham continued to believe that he could make a full recovery. Indeed, as recently as late August he travelled to Cardiff's Millennium Stadium as the Ulster players' representative at the launch of the 2010/11 Magners League series.
Nor did Ulster give up on him, a point they proved by naming Cunningham in their Magners League panel for the current season.
Significantly, however, when the names for the 2010/11 Heineken Cup squads were submitted, Cunningham was not one of them. It was beginning to look like his career was over.
In Cardiff back on August 24 he was philosophical about his prospects.
"I've been struggling for about a season and a half now and it's been highly frustrating," he said.
"I've been working hard but if I don't make it, then so be it.
"I've had a relatively serious operation and a decision will have to be made at some stage but I'm remaining focused and positive.
"I'm trying to get there but I may have a bit to go yet before I am fully fit.
"Hopefully I will get there eventually but if I can't make it...well, that's a decision that's out of my control."
At yesterday's Heineken Cup launch in Dublin, a journalist — unaware of the full back's imminent announcement — asked Ulster captain Rory Best if Cunningham ever teased the others in the Ravenhill camp about being the only European Cup winner amongst them.
"Bryn's too good a guy to be reminding you of that," Best replied.
"He's a great guy and a great guy to have around the squad because he is such a genuinely nice fella. To have someone who has the experience of having won a European Cup around is invaluable."
The last of Cunningham's 150 appearances for Ulster in a competitive match was against Newport Gwent Dragons at Rodney Parade on September 6, 2009. Just short of the half-hour he picked up what now has proved to be a career-ending injury.
As well as making the grade as a professional rugby player the Bangor Grammar School and Trinity College Dublin-educated Cunningham played tennis, squash and cricket at representative level.
And having decided to major on rugby, he was just 19 when he made his Ulster debut against Wasps in 1997.

Residents in the Town of Batavia whose water wells have become contaminated with harmful bacteria, are learning that their only viable option will be expensive.
That option is building a public water supply.
Just over a hundred town residents met with officials last night to hear the latest results of water well testing.
Of the wells tested by the health department, 25-percent are contaminated with either human or bovine fecal bacteria while half the wells have unacceptable level of nitrates.
The town has designated five potential water districts with the largest north of the thruway, east and west of Route 98.
Town Engineer Steve Mountain talks about the timeline of the project and estimates the cost to the average homeowner at $750 per year
The last water district project in the town was along Ellicott Street and Townline Road. That project took just over 8 months start to finish.
The Genesee County Legislature has gone on record opposed to the state's new DWI law, dubbed, Leandra's law.
County lawmakers are quick to point out that it is not the provision of the law making it a felony to drive drunk while children are in the car,…but another provision that mandates breath interlock devices.
The legislature wants the courts to decide whether or not an offender should be required to use the interlock device. As the law is written now, use of the device would be mandated for all DWI offenders and the costs would be borne by individual counties.
An Orleans County man is facing charges of robbery and assault for allegedly stealing three long guns from a man in Byron.
Deputies said 45-year-old Darrell Reid of Holley used force to steal the guns from the unidentified victims, and during the robbery, Reid allegedly broke the nose of his victim and cut him above the eye.
All of this happened on North Bergen Road in Byron early last Saturday morning.

June 28, 2006 - After last year's relocation of its Fourth of July Celebration, the Greater Oro Valley Arts Council will move the event back to its old stomping grounds.
The celebration begins at 5 p.m. at Cañada del Oro Riverfront Park, 551 W. Lambert Lane.
The Tucson Symphony Orchestra will play patriotic and popular classical music and conclude with the 1812 Overture as the night sky lights up with fireworks from the Hilton El Conquistador Golf and Tennis Resort
Albert George-Schram will guest conduct the orchestra.
The Civic Orchestra of Tucson even will let children handle various instruments.
The civic orchestra is a 60-piece volunteer community orchestra founded in 1975 that provides free symphonic concerts.
The group holds most performances at facilities easily accessible to the elderly and physically challenged and features elementary, high school and college students as guest artists.
Starting at 5:15 p.m., children can visit the orchestra's "musical petting zoo" and various play games.
Visitors may bring picnic blankets and alcohol-free beverages and purchase a variety of food and drinks from vendors at the park.
Attendees are asked to bring one non-perishable food item per adult.
Parking costs $1 at the park, however, the town of Oro Valley will provide bus transportation starting at 5 p.m. from the Home Depot, 10855 N. Oracle Road, and Casas Church, 10801 N. La Cholla Blvd.
The arts council moved its event last year to Canyon Del Oro High School because parking spaces at Riverfront Park were blocked during bridge construction from Lambert Lane to Pusch View Lane.
Organizers recommend visitors arrive as early as possible because the event typically draws thousands of people.
No smoking or alcoholic beverages are allowed.
The Hilton El Conquistador, 10000 N. Oracle Road, will present a separate Fourth of July Celebration that features live music by Jason Mraz and Mat Kearney, prizes and food.
Visitors can buy hot dogs, hamburgers, cotton candy, ice cream, barbecue beef and snow cones, as well as alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.
The activities, which also include a jumping castle, volleyball tournament, carnival-style games, a hole-in-one competition and hot dog- and apple pie-eating contests, will begin at 5 p.m. Tickets cost $15 for adults, $8 for children 6 through 12 and free for children 5 and younger. Parking costs $5.
For more information about the Hilton's fireworks festival, call 544-5000. For more information about the Oro Valley Independence Day event, call 797-3959.

Farmer secures book deal
A farmer who writes supernatural crime thrillers is in a field of his own — after securing a publishing deal with Penguin Books.
By day James Oswald, 45, tends his Highland cows and Romney sheep on his farm in Newburgh, Fife. But by night he composes his stories in the static caravan where he lives. Now, after years of rejections from publishers, his hobby has paid off.
Alex Clarke, publishing director at Penguin, said: "We were delighted to acquire James Oswald's Inspector McLean thrillers. James is set to be a household name in the crime thriller arena."

My parents invited us over for dinner on Saturday and since the weather is decidedly fall these days my mom thought a roast chicken dinner with all the fixings sounded like a great idea. Here are the two beautiful birds she stuffed and roasted:
But I'm getting ahead of myself. We started with some snacks while we had drinks, including sundried tomatoes and mozzarella on little toasts:
I really love these tomatoes and mozzarella.
In addition to the chickens my mom roasted carrots, steamed green beans and sliced some cranberry sauce:
Yes, we like the jellied cranberry sauce from a can. Don't hate us. She also made creamy, buttery mashed potatoes and gravy from the pan drippings:
SP made his amazing, buttery biscuits:
Here's the table all laid out for dinner:
My plate, with a little bit of everything:
This was one fantastic meal! The chicken couldn't have been more tender or juicy and all the sides were delicious. This was a good trial run for Thanksgiving since we have pretty much the same meal on that day as well.
After dinner we played Scrabble (I won, yay!) and then everyone enjoyed the pumpkin cupcakes with cream cheese frosting I'd made earlier that day.

Freeze Dried Açai – Euterpe Precatoria
Besides juices and pulps, Saborama has just launched Freeze Dried Açaí into the market. This product is increasingly being demanded in several countries. Since heat isn´t applied, the process of lyophilization also known as Freeze Dried wholly extracts water from the pulp keeping all its nutritional qualities. Held in its original packaging, kept at a medium temperature, in a clean aired dry place, it offers a shelf life of over 18 months. It also should be kept out of sunlight.
Freeze Dried avoids importing huge quantities of water. You only get dry matter. You don´t need frozen facilities for its storage. It can be easily exported by plane thus gaining delivery time.
It offers the exact same applications as pulp does, such as juices, smoothies, shakes, amongst other products, but it also can be marketed as a supplement or in capsules. Our Açai´s quality All our Açaí is wildly collected and free of any fertilizers, herbicides and other chemical substances. That´s why we have been granted our Organic Certification.
Our fruits´selection begins the very first moment in which Euterpe Precatoria palm trees should be collected, giving priority to ripest Açaí berries thus offering a higher antocyanin concentration.
A research recently performed by Dr. Stephen Talcott and other colleagues, from Texas A&M University, has shown that Euterpe Precatoria offers higher nutritional contents and a superior amount of antocyanines than its Oleracea counterpart, which grows in eastern Amazonas. Its ORAC values exceed 75,000 Trolox every 100 grams of powder. On the other hand, its antioxidants resist much better heat applied during pasteurization.
Thus, any Euterpe Precatoria product will offer a neat superior amount of antocianines.
Freeze Dried Açaí Powder
The freeze drying process retains all the nutritional properties of Açaí through reducing the pulp into a fine powder at very low temperatures. Unlike extracts, freeze dried Açaí completely captures the unique synergy of nutritional benefits found in Açaí and it is completely pure with neither carrying agents nor additives. Saborama performs its lyophilization, or freeze drying process, in one of Latin America´s most modern facilities. Its modern technology offers a product with a humidity lower than 2 per cent. This factory offers a GMP certification and it´s close to obtain its HACCP.
Freeze Dried Advantages
Euterpe Precatoria´s ORAC offers over 750 units of that measure per gram. ORAC is a pattern that measures antioxidant capacity. Oleracea doesn´t even reach 500 units. Daily allowance recommended is of 3,000 units, obtained by 4 grams of Saborama´s Freeze Dried. -18 month shelf life -100% Pure -No carrying agents, additives or preservatives
Difference between freeze dried Powder and Extracts
Extracts are normally made from spray dried acai powder and are often found in Açaí capsules. Spray drying is performed at very high temperatures and through this method Açaí tends to loose over 40% of its nutritional qualities. In addition they require large amounts of carrying agents (40-50%) such as starch or maltodextrin to help aid its shelf life. Many of those products offer less than 25% of pure Açaí. Dr. Stephen Talcott explains that one gram of Precatoria pulp offers 108 ORAC, thus 7 grams offer 756. Since powder multiplies by 7 due to its concentration, 100 grams will offer 75,600 ORAC, which is over 50% what Oleracea has to offer. On top, it resists heat much better.
Packaging: 20 kg. Boxes Our Freeze Dried Açaí is packed in 10 kg. 120 micron triple coated bags. Two bags are packed inside a thickened pilable cardboard box. This ensures its shelf life over 18 months and it resists any manipulation during freight. One ton of this powder has a volume of 6 cubic meters or 162 cubic feet approximately.

Construction updates | D.C. area travel tips | Going Out Guide
It's your last weekend to test drive Maryland's new Intercounty Connector for free. Transit riders should review Metro's plan to shut parts of the Orange and Blue lines starting at 10 p.m. Friday. History buffs might go see President Lincoln's inauguration reenacted by Sam Waterson at 10 a.m. Saturday in the Capitol Hill Visitor Center Auditorium.
The Capital Weather Gang says Saturday will be the best weekend day for travel and outdoor activity, with rain very likely on Sunday. Temperatures will be in the 50s both days.
Metro weekend delays
From 10 p.m. Friday through the rail system's midnight closing Sunday, the eastern side of the Orange Line between Stadium-Armory and New Carrollton will be shut for maintenance projects. During the same period, there will be no Blue Line service between Stadium-Armory and Benning Road.
See more details on our Commuter page. Also, get the late-train times for the weekend
Tips for riders: Metro did a similar shutdown the first weekend in November. If you experienced that one, you pretty much know the drill this time around, too.
The most difficult time for riders is likely to be Friday night. Some who came into town via the normal train service will find they can't get back the same way, once the shutdown begins at 10 p.m. (Check those late-train listings.) The shuttle bus service for the planned weekend maintenance operates pretty well, but it might get off to a slow start right at the beginning, as the operation gets organized.
There's no really good bus or train alternative to the free shuttles for transit riders. They could drive to the ends of the Green Line at either Greenbelt or Branch Avenue, but that's a haul, and there's no regular bus route that would get to and from downtown any faster.
If you're on one of the disrupted routes, don't use Metro's Trip Planner as an aid. It's normally very helpful, but it's computer brain doesn't take into account these weekend disruptions.
Intercounty Connector
The ICC remains free this weekend, but the electronic tolls will be imposed starting Monday. When I went for a Sunday drive last weekend, there was very little traffic on the connector or near the entrances and exits. Another Sunday driver, Jim WIngo of Woodbine, wrote in to report seeing a small group of deer in the eastbound lanes on the Olney side of the new highway, despite the project managers' efforts to keep wildlife away from the travel lanes, so use caution. The speed limit is 55 mph.
Tysons Corner/Beltway
The Dulles Metrorail project has changed its schedule of lane closings. The triple lane closings on the Beltway's inner loop at Route 123 in Tysons that were scheduled for tonight and Sunday night have been canceled. Also canceled was the planned overnight closing of westbound I-66 at the Dulles Connector Road (Route 267).
The Beltway lane closings are scheduled to resume Monday through Friday, from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. each night. This work is likely to continue through March. It leaves only one lane open on the inner loop, so congestion is likely.
Workers are using these overnight hours to build the bridges that will take the new Metrorail line over the Beltway. When the lanes are closed overnights, crews also close , the exit ramps from the outer loop to Route 123.
This is the closing pattern:
9:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. Crews begin tapering for the closing of the right lane, about a half mile before the Route 7 exit. The exit ramps at Route 7 are not affected by the rail project work.
10:30 p.m. Workers begin to close the second right lane near the Route 7 bridge and the third lane before the Route 123 interchange. The ramps to and from Route 123 also will close at this time.
5 a.m. All lanes and exits to Route 123 will be reopened to through traffic.
The closings of the ramps to Route 123 results in this detour for Beltway drivers:
Continue north, exit at Georgetown Pike (Route 193), turn around at Georgetown Pike and enter the outer loop (southbound I-495), then use the Route 123 exits from the outer loop.
Free buses on ICC
There's one more free week to go for the two new commuter buses that the Maryland Transit Administration launched this week on the Intercounty Connector. After next week, a one-way trip will be $5. These are the two routes.
Route 201. The line will operate seven days a week, with 14 daily round trips between Gaithersburg and BWI Marshall Airport. The Maryland Transit Administration says the 47-mile trip should take about 75 minutes. The stops along the way are:
* Gaithersburg Park and Ride

* Norbeck Park and Ride
* Burtonsville Park and Ride
* BWI Southwest Terminal
* BWI International Terminal
* BWI MARC/Amtrak Rail Station
Route 202. The line will operate weekdays, with three morning trips, three afternoon trips and one midday trip between Gaithersburg and the NSA and Fort Meade. The MTA says the 46-mile trip should take about 75 minutes. The stops along the way are:
* Gaithersburg Park and Ride
* Shady Grove Metro Station

More information about the routes, schedules and fares is posted on a new MTA Web page: www.mtaiccbus.com.
Weekend I-95 shoulder closing
The Virginia Department of Transportation plans to close the east shoulder on the I-95 High Occupancy lanes between the Occoquan River bridge and the Gordon Boulevard (Route 123) overpass at noon today for utility work. No travel lanes will be affected. The shoulder will reopen by 5 a.m. Monday.
This work is for the I-95 widening project, scheduled to be done this fall.
Maryland lane closings
Highway crews will be on doing their routine bridge inspections on Saturday, and that will close some lanes: Look for alternating double left and double right lane closings on southbound I-270 at Falls Road from 4:30 to 11:30 a.m. Also, watch for similar lane closings on the Beltway's inner loop at Riggs Road from 5 a.m. to noon.
Route 202 road work
The Maryland State Highway Administration will be working on the Route 202 bridge over the Beltway from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekdays. Expect single lane closings there.
Beltway HOT lanes work
Workers on the High Occupancy Toll lanes project are rebuilding interchanges and bridges along 14 miles on the western side of the Beltway between Springfield and the Dulles Toll Road. Most of the lane closings are done overnight, but watch for single lane closings from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on weekdays.
11th Street Bridge project
Overnights Monday through Thursday, the District Department of Transportation plans to close lanes and periodically stop traffic in one direction at a time on Interstate 295/DC 295 (Anacostia Freeway) between Pennsylvania Avenue and the 11th Street Bridge to set new bridge girders over the highway.
Most of the activity will occur between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m., but single lane closings could begin as early as 8 p.m. The traffic stoppages could last up to 40 minutes at a time. If either side of the highway is closed, signed detours will be posted.

The International Monetary Fund is sponsoring a project on "Global Linkages" that will include a series of conferences in Washington, DC. This project is aimed at bringing together researchers from academia, the IMF, and other policy institutions to present and discuss new empirical research exploring how economic linkages between countries have changed over time. The project is also designed to explore the implications of changing global linkages for policy makers in developed and emerging markets.
An initial pre-conference to discuss the project was held on April 25-26, 2002, and a larger conference including a series of new research papers was held on January 30-31, 2003.
Organizers: Robin Brooks (IMF), Kristin Forbes (MIT) and Ashoka Mody (IMF)
Key questions addressed by the project include:
What are the linkages by which country- and region-specific shocks are transmitted globally? Have these linkages become more important in recent years or have the underlying shock themselves become more global?
How has the balance shifted among cross-country linkages between real linkages (e.g. international trade) and financial linkages (e.g. capital flows)?
To what extent does the rise in comovement of real and financial series across countries reflect a long-term trend towards closer integration, a process that can be explained from fundamentals, and to what extent does it reflect short-term factors? In particular, has there been a rise in financial linkages that cannot be explained in terms of real (e.g. trade liberalization) and financial shocks (e.g. capital account liberalization)?
What is the role of firms (e.g. multinationals, FDI, mutual funds) versus individuals (e.g. falling transaction and information costs in portfolio diversification) in promoting the change in cross-border linkages?
What role have government policies played in the evolution of cross-border linkages and what policies should governments pursue going forward? Are short- and medium-run isolation strategies effective, given the changing nature of cross-country linkages? Do exchange rate regimes interact with real and financial linkages? Are there benefits to diversification across industries and commodities? Should policy coordination among the G-3 be enhanced to promote exchange rate stability and what would be the implications for emerging markets?

text: OverviewWindow Rock has a nice selection of very moderate difficulty climbs on it's East side: From right to left, Juniper Jam, at 5.6; Drunken Cowboy (or Drunken Climber), at 5.7, and the twins of Pure Pleasure and Good times, both at 5.6. Getting ThereReach the East face of Window Rock from the Parking Lot Rock parking area, and follow a signed trail around the North end of Parking Lot Rock. On the East side of Window Rock, towards it's North end, there are several vertical cracks, and only one of which reach the ground. The most northerly of these has a Juniper tree growing from it, and hence is Juniper Jam. About 50 feet to the left , beneath two very prominent cracks, a bolt may be seen about 15 feet off the deck below and between these cracks. The right crack is Pure Pleasure. The left crack is Good Times.Route DescriptionStarting between the two previously described cracks, climb a short slab up to a slightly overhanging lip. Surmount the lip and climb to the bolt, being sure to use a longer runner to reduce rope drag. head towards the right crack on good holds, passing several horizintal slits which can accept some very small cams for protection. Once the crack itself is reached, protection is no longer a problem. Size # 1 and # 2 Camalots work fine, and the climbing is primarily on huecos right of the crack itself. An occasional hand jam in the crack facilitates upward progress. Belay from a nice ledge using protection obtained using cams in a horizontal crack. Essential GearCams from # 00 Metolius tricams to # 2 Camalots. Runners and quickdraws.External LinksAdd External Links text here.

ForYouDesign's Profile
Hello and thank you for visiting ForYouDesign!
I am a passionate crafter living in Istanbul, Turkey. My journey to the world of yarns and colors started as a little girl when my dearest grandmother taught me how to knit and crochet wonderful dresses for my dolls. Now as a mother of two beautiful kids, this journey still continues with love, care, and even much more passion.
After graduating from university, I worked abroad and even then my yarns and needles were always with me to create for friends. I quitted my teaching job after the birth of my first child and have become a stay-at-home mom. This has made it much more possible for me to create my own designs.
I use the best quality yarns for all my products. Each and every item is made by me in a smoke-free and pet-free…

bentbottle is a collection of uniquely modern, dishes, bowls, lighting and jewelry made exclusively from recycled bottle glass by Bryan Northup.
"I enjoy the challenge of creating something out of common bottle glass that is functional, as well as intriguing and beautiful to the eye. Exploring a free source of raw material such as post-consumer bottle glass provides an endless array of forms and possibilities for transforming the ordinary and necessary glass bottle into an oddly modern, yet earthy, and even whimsical art object.
My "bentbottle" work possess a "lost in time" aesthetic, both ancient and modern, if not futuristic artifacts made from discarded everyday materials.
Enhancing the organic qualities of glass by transforming it in the kiln is what keeps me excited and inspired to keep working with recycled glass. There is the promise of an unseen frontier each time the kiln is fired. The ultimate goal of my work with recycled glass is to create artifacts for the future, made from material discarded today.

NASA, along with other international space agencies, seem to be pretty good at putting things into Earth's orbit, but they are not so good when it comes to bringing things down. As a result, Earth's orbit has been cluttered with space junk which has put other spacecraft, include those which are manned, in danger of a possible catastrophic collision. The solution may be in the form of technology called a solar sail.
A solar sail is a form of spacecraft propulsion system which uses radiation pressure, which can come from a star like our own Sun, or from an artificial source like a laser. It also has the ability to act as a parking brake to slow down spacecraft for de-orbit by skimming the top of our atmosphere.
Such technology has been successfully tested by NASA this month on board a small spacecraft called NanoSail-D. At first, NASA believed the mission was a failure before it even began. That's because the small spacecraft was stuck inside its mothership called the Fast, Affordable, Science and Technology SATellite (FASTSAT), which was launched in November. Luckily, and for an unknown reason, the NanoSail-D spacecraft ejected from its mothership on January 17. A few days later, on January 20, the NanoSail-D unfurled its solar sail. The sail consists of a thin polymer sheet of reflective material which covers a 10 m2 area.
The solar sail will provide enough aerodynamic drag to allow the NanoSail-D to de-orbit within 70 to 120 days. This will test the possibility of including solar sails on future NASA satellites to allow them to return to Earth and harmlessly disintegrate in the atmosphere. Such a technique could prevent the build-up of future space junk. Of course, a solar sail does have an accelerator pedal in addition to a brake which is why NASA engineers will be measuring the pressure of sunlight on the sail as well.

In an effort to make Singapore the company's third "centre of excellence" in Asia, Deloitte & Touche announced plans to double its staff there to 2,200 in the next few years, which would take the company from the smallest to the largest of the Big Four accounting firms in Singapore.
At 1,100 staff currently, Deloitte plans to add Singapore to Tokyo and Hong Kong as one of it is centres of excellence, William Parrett, global chief executive of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, told The Business Times.
The Times reported that Deloitte's plans took the industry by surprise as the trend has been to increase hiring in the respective domestic markets when there is growth as cost is much lower there than having more staff based in Singapore.
Parrett told the media recently that Singapore is a magnet for global and regional multinational headquarters and it makes sense to further develop Deloitte Singapore's expertise to meet clients' business.
"As a centre of excellence, we will be strategically expanding our current recruitment of global and local professionals into our key service areas," Parrett said.
Commenting on the staff expansion, Chaly Mah, managing partner of Deloitte Singapore said: 'The objective is to use Singapore to support the region." Specifically, "The growth rate is much faster in non-audit areas such as tax, risk management, asset management, mergers and acquisition and forensics."
Deloitte & Touche Singapore will combine with Deloitte Consulting to help build the firm's capacity in Singapore.
Parrett said Deloitte is making a big push in China and will invest US$150 million over the next five years in that country.
The Big Four audit firms are scrambling to establish themselves in China to be part of that country's booming economy. Deloitte will rely on its offices in Singapore, Taiwan and Hong Kong to build its presence in the region, Mah said.

The Next Crisis for the Dallas Morning News
This time it's the U.S. Postal Service that is kicking the Morning News — and every other American newspaper — square in the jeans. This announcement was made a couple of days ago. The USPS is proposing to cut the rates it charges one of America's largest direct-marketing companies, Valassis Communications. That would mean more junk mail for you and me, and it would mean a smaller advertising bundle in the Sunday Morning News. The newspaper industry says the move could rob it of $1 billion in annual revenue from Sunday inserts and advertising fliers it sends to non-subscribers.
Time to do some math. Last year, the newspaper industry as a whole did $20.7 billion in revenue. A.H. Belo did $461 million. So Belo accounts for 2.2 percent of the entire industry. And 2.2 percent of $1 billion is, yes, $22 million. That's nearly 5 percent of Belo's revenue. Gone.
Sometimes you just can't catch a break.

Residents desperate to get a tan at a Spalding salon have been known to "throw stuff" when refused treatment.
The shocking statement comes as latest statistics show the number of people diagnosed with malignant melanoma in the East Midlands is five times higher than the 1970s.
This rise is being blamed on an increased use of sun beds and holidays abroad. An estimated 86 per cent of cases in 2010 linked to UV exposure .
The Electric Beach, Spalding, advertise sun beds from 37p a minute but inside the store is a sign reminding customers to check their skin type and risks before tanning.
Jess Parkinson, who works there, said: "We see a mix of people everyday, from 18-70 year olds, men come in too, even builders."
The salon restricts who uses sun beds and the length and regularity of visits but Jess says that doesn't stop people going to another salon and still overdosing on UV rays.
Among the restrictions they refuse under 18s usage but Jess said others are not so strict and turning people away is hard: "I've had people throw stuff at me and had to force them out the door."
Many customers use the beds to build a resistance before going on holiday.
Ana Pintor (19) was visiting for the first time ahead of a trip to Portugal. She said she feels beds are more controlled than laying in the sun.
"I wanted to make sure my body was used to it before going out in the direct sun. I don't want to burn and not be able to enjoy my holiday."
Eight out of ten people recover from malignant melanoma, among the highest survival rate for any cancer.

Jon Stewart – host of The Daily Show, a comedy show lampooning the latest in political developments – poked fun at Obama's latest Google+ Hangout and wondering what exactly Obama was thinking when he accepted a woman's resume live on the Hangout. Jon Stewart referred to Google+ as the 'What the F— is that thing up there? Is there any way I turn that off?'
Being mentioned on the Jon Stewart show is a watershed moment for the network, I imagine. I could picture a few Google executives giving each other high fives this morning after realizing that their fledgling (although 90m+ is pretty large, already) network is being name-dropped by the funniest satirist on television. I still think that Facebook is only one big privacy or network mistake away from having a mass exodus. Now is the time for them to be more careful than ever.
The video of Stewart making fun of the President and the Hangout is below (and only available in the United States).
