Problems with urine flow are the major symptoms of BPH. The symptoms occur when the enlarged prostate gland impinges on the outlet of the bladder and the urethra (the tube carrying urine from the bladder). Listed here are common signs and symptoms of BPH:
Herbal Prescriptions
Saw palmetto (lipophilic extract of saw palmetto berries)~20 milligrams daily, taken all at once or in two separate doses
Actions: Reduces the size of the prostate by inhibiting 5-a-reductase formation of dihydrotestosterone. Also has antiinflammatory properties. This should be your first choice for long-term treatment of BPH
Get to Know Your Prostate!
Problems related to the prostate account for billions
of health care dollars annually. Yet many of you males
out there don't know much about the location or workings
of the prostate! The March 26, 1995 London Times reports
the results of a survey that asked men about their
prostate glands. The survey found that 89 percent
of men did not know where the prostate gland is located.
Sixty-two percent of respondents mistook it for the bladder.
Only one-half of the men responding knew that only
men could suffer from prostate problems. Finally,
women were slightly better informed-only 41 percent
failed to identify the prostate correctly!
The prostate, which is the size of a walnut or chestnut
(they actually say that in medical texts!), lies below
the bladder and is wrapped around the urethra-the tube
that carries urine away from the bladder. In conjunction
with the Cowper's glands, the prostate produces seminal
fluid, which is needed for sperm to survive.
Nettle root extract-120 milligrams twice daily
Actions: Antiinflammatory and decongestant (antiedema) properties.2 European extracts are often used in combination with saw palmetto.
Pygeum (lipophilic extract of the bark)~O to 100 milligrams
twice daily
Actions: Antiinflammatory and decongestant (antiedema) properties3 Note: These herbal prescriptions can also be considered for the treatment of chronic, nonbacterial inflammation of the prostate (also known as chronic prostatitis).
Nutritional Supplement Considerations
These are primarily for prevention of both BPH and prostate cancer:
Dietary Recommendations
Again, the intent here is prevention of both BPH and prostate cancer. Keep your intake of saturated fats low. This includes red meat, milk, and fried oils. Include more polyunsaturated fats by eating vegetables and fish, and use olive oil for cooking. A vegetarian diet has been shown to reduce the amount of circulating hormones in the body-this also reduces the risk of BPH as well as prostate cancer.4,5 A vegetarian diet also adds dietary fiber and antioxidant nutrients. Soy products should be a staple of your vegetarian strategy against BPH and prostate cancer.6

Big 12 Campus Correspondent
Iowa State 165-pounder Andrew Sorenson embodies the long-standing tradition of Cyclone wrestling and its championship-caliber wrestlers. As Iowa State's only senior starter this season, Sorenson leads a group of young grapplers with his focus and fight.
"Andrew takes on the identity of our team and what we are trying to create," Iowa State head coach Kevin Jackson said. "As a leader you have to continue to let underclassmen see that side of what we want to be. I couldn't ask for a better leader at this time in our program."
One of the most dedicated members on the team, Sorenson has spent every summer during his five-year career in Ames to train. During winter break this year, there were only two days Sorenson did not train in the three-week period: Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
Teammate and roommate Max Mayfield has been close with Sorenson for nearly four years. A redshirt junior, Mayfield says Sorenson's ability to focus at crunch time but still have fun off the mat sets a huge example for other grapplers.
"He's the guy you want to be like in practice," 141-pounder Mayfield said. "He's just a fighter and every time he steps on the mat he's trying to do the best he can, beat everyone he can, no matter who he has."
In his final season at Iowa State, Sorenson has more time to focus on his passion. The redshirt senior obtained his bachelor's in kinesiology last spring and is currently working to complete his master's in higher education with plans to become a strength coach.
"I have a lot more time to devote to wrestling," Sorenson said. "I put in a ton of extra work especially in the preseason. I get extra drills, more time to watch film, more lifts and more runs. I'm devoted to wrestling."
Fifth-ranked Sorenson leads the Cyclones with 18 overall wins and 21 dual takedowns. He remains perfect in dual competition, with victories over five ranked opponents.
Sorenson has earned bonus points in 11 of his 18 victories this season. At the annual Harold Nichols Cyclone Open Nov. 13, Sorenson claimed the 165-pound title with two pins and two technical falls. The Woden, Iowa native recently steamrolled his highest-ranked opponent yet in a 17-4 major decision over No. 7 Pete Yates of Virginia Tech on Friday.
"Andrew is very driven and you can see it by the way he trains and his commitment to the sport and the work he has put in," Iowa State assistant coach Yero Washington said. "He has the will to become a champion and it has shown this year by his results, but he's also been a vocal leader on the team in addition to leading on the mat."
Much of Sorenson's drive comes from an 18-hour drive he made to Philadelphia for the NCAA Championships last year. After an elbow injury in late February, Sorenson was off the mat for the remainder of the season and watched his teammates compete amidst the spectators.
"I have dreamed of being a national champion since I was a little kid watching wrestling on IPTV (Iowa Public Television)," Sorenson said. "But it didn't become a reality until I had to watch from the stands in Philadelphia."
Watching the 2011 NCAA Championships gave Sorenson the confidence he has carried with him through the 2011-12 season. With only four duals remaining, Sorenson prepares for his final matches in Cardinal and Gold.
"When you put on an Iowa State singlet you are wrestling for generations of Iowa State and there is a legacy of greatness you have to uphold," Sorenson said. "It's bigger than yourself. It's the Cyclone nation."
Growing up on a farm in north central Iowa, Sorenson has understood the commitment level and attitude of many generations of Cyclone wrestlers for a long time. The 23-year-old has been "all in" from the beginning. Sorenson made a sacrifice his sophomore year, cutting down to 157 pounds for the starting spot. Last year he was in nearly the same position rankings-wise and record-wise before suffering the elbow injury.
"Andrew is continuing to buy into the program and the technical, tactical and mental aspects we want our wrestlers to compete with," Jackson said. "We talk about being all in and he's been all in from the start."
Iowa State hits the road this week for two Big 12 bouts with Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. The Cyclones face the Sooners at 7 p.m. (CST) in Norman, Okla., on Friday and round out the conference slate with the Cowboys at 2 p.m. (CST) Sunday in Stillwater, Okla.

Assessments - a key word in education today and one that has teachers focusing on outcomes and addressing the needs of today's student. The Lewiston-Porter Board of Education received its lesson Tuesday in how Lew-Port is handling the new directives from the New York State Education Department.
Primary Education Principal Tamara Larson and Intermediate Education Principal Andrew Auer explained how Lew-Port has implemented the Response to Intervention (RTI) program this past year. This is a state-required policy.
The program is a research and screening process that is conducted in grades kindergarten through 5. Students are evaluated and tracked throughout their educational career to see that they are receiving the instruction and interventions necessary for their success.
"If a child isn't responding to the interventions, a support team made up of teachers, (the) school psychologist and related support staff look at alternative interventions for those students," explained Larson.
"If a child doesn't progress after utilizing all interventions, they are given a full evaluation because other issues, such as learning disabilities, may be the problem," said Larson.
"The evaluation system will follow the children through all grade levels so teachers can make informed decisions on their training," said Auer.
A recent issue on the elimination of a second language at the seventh grade sparked conversations in the district during the past several days.
Superintendent Christopher Roser made the decision based on three items. The increase in English language learners due to non-English speaking students coming into the district, an increase in instructional time and the fact that there are no funds for hiring an additional instructor.
"Seventh grade foreign language is not a mandate," explained Roser. "Look at all the districts in the area and what they have lost. What have we lost here? We've held on to every program and the children are still getting the same instruction."
"We're doing good," he concluded.
In other areas there has been cuts in the clubs and activities at Lew-Port. But as Roser explained, in several of those cuts there are programs that really aren't clubs but more of an extension of classroom work.
In the 2011-12 budget, there was $123,319 designated for clubs and activities and this year there is $78,918. That said, there are 28 of the 36 clubs still left in the high school, eight of 14 in the middle school and no change in the Intermediate Education Center.
In other news from the session:
•An architect has been selected for the capital project. Scott Jones was hired to begin working on phase I, which will include replacing the roof at the high school, making repairs to the high school pool, repairs to the heating, ventilation and air conditioning at the high school and repairing the pool area of the middle school.
Plans will be developed and sent on to the state for approval and the project would begin next summer. Phase I was approved by voters in May.
Roser urged the board to take a look at what will be needed in phase II and phase III in order to take them through the next several years of funding. Phase II includes items that were eliminated in 2007 due to funding. Those include making sure the district is wired appropriately for the technology utilized today; upgrades to the kitchen/cafeterias; upgrades to the gym; window replacements; updating the heating/ventilation/air conditioning systems; and work at the Intermediate Education Center. Roser hopes to take phases II and III to public referendum in March.
"Our wiring needs to be top line," said Roser. "Beginning in 2014, state assessments and exams will be given online. We need to make sure we are wired properly."
"We need to do the right thing for our voters and our students," said Roser.
•A look at student enrollment sees a continuing decrease and Roser wants the board to look at what types of decisions will have to be made regarding the facilities. Lew-Port had 3,299 students in 1980-81; 30 years later they were at 2,304, and this year the enrollment is 2,105.
"Most reductions are in the elementary levels," said Roser. "It's possible we may have to reconfigure those classrooms or close a building at some time. We need to make sure what we fix is what we are going to be needing in the future."
In other business, the board:
•Accepted a $1,000 donation from Partners in Education to be used to purchase a telescope for the high school.
•Approved Personal Touch Food Service to manage the concession stand for 2012-13.
•Approved an agreement with Niagara University to coordinate on community education and non-credit programming.
•German students arrived and will be on campus until Oct. 7.
Upcoming at Lew-Port:
•Sept. 24: The reading program "Pop Open a Book" begins in the Primary Education Center.
•Sept. 25: The WNY College Consortium will be at the high school with more than 18 college representatives available to talk to students.
•Sept. 27: Parent Night at the Primary Education Center and Open House at the Intermediate Education Center.
•Oct. 3: Open House at the Middle School.
•Oct. 4: Distinguished Alumni ceremony at 10 a.m.
•Oct. 6: Alumni Association gala at Seneca Niagara Casino & Hotel.

Tuscaloosa County's unemployment rate fell to 6 percent in March, the lowest it has been since December 2008 when it stood at 5.7 percent.
Tuscaloosa County's unemployment rate fell to 6 percent in March, the lowest it has been since December 2008 when it stood at 5.7 percent.
Figures released Friday by the Alabama Department of Labor showed the county's unemployment rate falling more than half a percentage point from February, when unemployment was 6.7 percent.
In March 2012, Tuscaloosa County's unemployment rate was 6.5 percent.
"I think the latest numbers are looking good," said Ahmad Ijaz, an economist at the University of Alabama's Center for Business and Economic Research.
"We saw a significant increase in employment" both in the Tuscaloosa area and across the state.
"More people were getting jobs in March, and more people were entering the work force to look for jobs," he said.
"People thinking the economy is getting better are perceiving more job opportunities and more are looking for jobs," he said.
Some of those job seekers might have been people who had stopped looking for work or who exhausted their unemployment benefits and were not factored into the unemployment rate calculation in earlier months, he said.
The ongoing recovery from the tornado of April 27, 2011, also might be helping the job picture. A year ago, many businesses were still rebuilding. Since then, more have reopened, creating new job opportunities, he said.
More jobs were added statewide in March, but with more people looking for work, Alabama's unemployment rate remained flat, he said.
Alabama's March unemployment rate was a seasonally adjusted 7.2 percent, the same as the revised rate for February. The county rates are not seasonally adjusted and tend to be lower at this time of the year. Had the state unemployment rate not been seasonally adjusted, it, would have showed a decrease, too.
In 2009, the impact of the so-called Great Recession started taking a toll on the workforce both locally and across the country. Unemployment increased, and in Tuscaloosa, unemployment began to climb. By June 2010, the county's unemployment rate hit a high of 12.5 percent.
That stood in contrast to the pre-recession years, when Tuscaloosa County consistently had unemployment rates well below 5 percent, including a low of 1.9 percent in April 1998, according to figures from the U.S. Department of Labor.
In the nine other West Alabama counties in The Tuscaloosa News' coverage area, unemployment rates dropped even more from February to March. The range went from a 1.9 percent drop in Lamar County, the biggest drop among the state's 67 counties, to a 0.7 percent decrease in Pickens County.
In looking at the statewide figures, Alabama Labor Commissioner Tom Surtees said in a prepared statement: "We always urge people to look at trends in the unemployment numbers, rather than simply looking at only the monthly data in order to get a better picture of the job market. For example, we've seen consistent increases in the number of people employed since August of last year — with the exception of January, which is to be expected as holiday hiring winds down."
He said 66 of the state's 67 counties saw their unemployment rates drop in March.

Yet new research published recently in the January issue of JAMA (the Journal of the American Medical Association) is raising some eyebrows especially in medical circles. While it's been well-established that high blood pressure and low levels of HDL or "good cholesterol" account for about half the higher than normal risk for heart disease, scientists now have a clue that just might add the most important piece to this perplexing puzzle. And better yet, the discovery itself, reveals a practical treatment strategy.
Let's take a few minutes to review the differences between the two types of diabetes. Type I diabetics typically experience the disease in childhood due to the failure of specific pancreatic cells to produce insulin, a hormone needed to drive glucose into cells. On the other hand, Type II diabetics (approximately 14 million in our nation) tend to develop the disease later in life. They typically have sufficient or even elevated levels of insulin, yet their insulin receptors do not function properly. Conventional treatment strategies for Type I diabetics include insulin replacement and diet. Type II patients are frequently treated with diet and oral agents, although some eventually need insulin.
For our cells to properly utilize glucose as an energy source, insulin must be produced in sufficient quantities and insulin receptors must function properly. Here's a simple analogy; opening a locked door requires a specific key (insulin) and a matching keyhole (insulin receptor) which accepts the key.
Now that we've established a framework for understanding diabetes, let's proceed to explore the new findings reported by Dr. James Meigs and colleagues of Massachusetts General Hospital who set forth to better understand the diabetes/heart disease connection. In the early nineties, they studied over 3,000 people who were enrolled in the Framingham Offspring Study, one of the most highly regarded, long-term cardiac risk factor evaluation programs in history.
These researchers discovered a simple yet fascinating correlation. Subjects with elevated insulin levels also had increased amounts of a substance termed the PAI-1 antigen, a chemical that inhibits our blood's ability to dissolve clots. This fact takes on great significance as one of the most important underlying processes resulting in heart attacks and strokes is diminished blood flow secondary to ... you guessed it - clots!
Let's take a few moments to consider the fact that the typical Type II diabetic's insulin receptors perform their job inadequately. The medical term used to describe this condition is "insulin resistance." When insulin resistance is detected through a built-in feedback mechanism, our bodies simply respond by increasing the production of insulin, which we now know is associated with increased clotting.
Yet this story doesn't end here for Type II diabetics. The most important question is how to reduce their blood's tendency to clot. The answer suggested by the investigators is based upon an intervention that has been extensively proven to diminish insulin resistance. It's not an expensive drug, a popular supplement, or a genetically engineered vaccine. It doesn't require state-of-the-art medical technology and it won't be challenged by your healthcare insurer.
The recommended treatment strategy is none other than... exercise!
The phenomenal implication of this research is that exercise may enable diabetics to lower their risk of heart disease by helping to prevent clotting. This conclusion is so practical that it's almost a let down. Our ancestors had the answers all along, while we seem to be spinning our wheels developing technologies to prove what they recognized as everyday common sense strategies for wellness.
In any event, the data speaks for itself. It's time to turn off the tube, get out there and move those achy joints to the rhythm of your own drummer. And by the way, the association between high insulin levels and the PAI-1 antigen was also noted in pre-diabetics - people who are expected to develop diabetes at a later time. That could be any one of us!
So if risk reduction is in your cards, there's no better time than the present to improve your odds for living a healthy and happy life. Forget the excuses and put on your sneakers. To quote a famous industry leader, "Just do it!" - Mind Over Matter!

A crowd of 1,000 is anticipated at event in Buffalo Pierce-Arrow Transportation Museum
More than 1,000 University at Buffalo alumni are expected to celebrate their alma mater on Thursday, Sept. 12, during a function in The Buffalo Pierce-Arrow Transportation Museum on Michigan Avenue. The guests will also be among the first to tour the new Frank Lloyd Wright-designed filling station.
Special guests will include UB President Satish K. Tripathi, new Athletics Director Danny White, head football coach Jeff Quinn, new men's head basketball coach Bobby Hurley and a number of student athletes, who will be on hand to pump up the crowd and talk about the new era of the Bulls. The Center for the Arts, celebrating the 40th anniversary of Zodiaque Dance Co., will promote the upcoming season of arts and performances.
"Our university has been experiencing an incredible number of successes over the past year or so with no end in sight, and we want to share the excitement with our alumni and thank them for believing in their alma mater," said Jay Friedman, Ed.M. '00 and BA '86, associate vice president for alumni relations. "From our UB 2020 Tour to President Obama's visit, to groundbreaking for the new medical school next month, alums can't help but walk away from this event feeling proud."
A similar event drew a crowd of 600 to Buffalo last fall as part of the UB 2020 tour, in which Tripathi traveled to 20 cities in 20 months to meet alumni.
"Last year's 2020 tour stop in Buffalo was one of the largest alumni events in recent memory, and we're shattering that record this year," said Carol Gloff, BS '75, president of the UB Alumni Association. "It's clear that local alums are excited about their university and enjoy sharing that excitement with each other, so we've decided to make this an annual event."
The choice of venue - owned by alumnus Jim Sandoro, BS '71 - also demonstrates UB's commitment to the downtown area.
"We're only a stone's throw away from the burgeoning medical campus and the site of our new medical school," Friedman said. "The downtown renaissance is happening, and we're honored that we, and our alumni, are part of it."
The event begins at 6:30 p.m. with remarks slated for 7:30 p.m.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A body found in the Gulf of Mexico near Grand Isle has been identified as a Filipino worker missing since a Nov. 16 oil platform fire.
Lafourche Parish Coroner Dr. John King said Wednesday the person is 28-year-old Jerome Malagapo.
Malagapo had been working for Grand Isle Shipyard aboard a platform operated by Black Elk Energy.
King said identification of the body pulled from the water Monday was made from dental records. More investigation is needed to determine cause of death.
The fire killed two other workers.
The cause of the fire is under investigation and there is no ongoing oil spill at the site about 20 miles south of Grand Isle.

there's a certain phrase i'd like to translate into latin, but my skills turned out not be so good, i've only managed to figured out a few scattered words, which might even be wrong, here's how the phrase goes:
"my ideals are my spear, my convictions are my shield"
i cant think of a plural for "idealis", but turned 'convictions' into "convictiones". for 'shield' i used 'scutum', though for 'spear' i'm not sure which word to use.
what i got to was:
"idealis(pl) mei sunt mea lancea, convictiones scutum"
which is probably awful.
thanks already!

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — South Dakota routinely violates the federal law governing foster care and adoptions for American Indian children by holding improper hearings after children are removed from homes, two tribes allege in a lawsuit filed Thursday.
The Oglala Sioux and Rosebud Sioux Tribes, along with three Native American parents, filed the lawsuit in federal court in Rapid City, alleging the state is violating the Indian Child Welfare Act. The lawsuit is part of an ongoing dispute about Native American children in foster care in South Dakota.
Federal law requires that Native American children removed from homes be placed with relatives or with other Native American families, except in unusual circumstances. Tribal officials contend South Dakota removes too many American Indian children from their homes and then puts them in foster care with non-Indian families.
The lawsuit alleges that when children are removed from a home based on accusations of neglect or abuse, parents aren't given a proper hearing to determine whether a child should be kept away longer. Many Native Americans who leave the Rosebud and Pine Ridge Indian reservations move to Pennington County, which is home to Rapid City, and the lawsuit seeks class-action status for all Native American parents and custodians who are members of federally recognized tribes there.
The lawsuit contends that hearings are sometimes as short as 60 seconds and parents aren't given the chance to introduce evidence showing their ability to care for the child or to question the state.
"If South Dakota officials would have the kind of hearing that is required by federal law, many of the Indian children who are being taken away from their parents would be returned," said Stephen Pevar, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union's Racial Justice Program working with the tribes on the case.
The plaintiffs are seeking an order directing state officials to provide "adequate" and "meaningful" hearings.
The removal of Native American children in South Dakota has been an ongoing issue, and tribal and federal leaders are planning a summit to discuss foster care in the state. State officials have acknowledged that a disproportionate number of Native American children are involved in the child welfare system. But they said that is because they receive more referrals for alleged abuse involving Native American children, leading to more investigations and removals of children from homes.
The lawsuit names as defendants Department of Social Services Secretary Kim Malsam-Rysdon, Department of Social Services employee LuAnn Van Hunnik, Pennington County State's Attorney Mark Vargo and 7th Judicial Circuit Court Presiding Judge Jeff Davis.
Vargo did not immediately return messages seeking comment. A representative for the Department of Social Services said the agency has not received any information about the lawsuit and did not have a comment. Davis also said he could not comment.
Bryan Brewer, president of the Oglala Sioux Tribe, said more than half of the children removed from homes in Pennington County are members of his tribe.
Brewer said that while tribal members realize children sometimes need to be removed from homes to protect them, "all too often over the years, South Dakota state officials have a history of unwarranted and unnecessary long-term removal of Indian children from Indian families."
Congress passed the Indian Child Welfare Act in 1978 because of the once high number of Indian children being removed from their homes by public and private agencies.
Brewer said that when state officials remove children without proof of neglect into non-Indian homes, the Native American children suffer emotional trauma, anxiety and depression.
"For years Pennington County, courts, judges and the Pennington County's attorney have allowed the state of South Dakota and the Department of Social Services to take children — Indian and non-Indian — from their homes and family and place them in foster homes for months at a time, without requiring the state to produce any meaningful evidence in a fair and meaningful hearing," Brewer said. "This is an abuse of state power."

Navigators face dubious job
A news release from the U.S. Small Business Administration in The Times (8-28), heralded a "great opportunity" for small business owners who do not plan to provide insurance to their employees.
The Department of Health & Human Services will help herd employees into pens to receive their ear tags and brands on the behind, identifying them as uninsured. This is very timely after Obamacare set a full-time workweek at 30 hours. Employers are cutting hours to below 30 to avoid having to provide insurance, forcing employees to seek part-time jobs, still without insurance.
The Obamacare employer mandate requires businesses with more than 50 full-time employees to provide health insurance. Resulting layoffs mean more people without insurance.
Taxpayers will be shelling out $67 million for 105 "navigator grant applicants" who will explain the requirements of Obamacare to the huddled masses. Anyone remember the 1960's television show "Twelve O'clock High?" Navigators played an important role in guiding our B17 bombers over Germany during WWII.
I can't think of a better name for people who will be helping bomb the health care industry. We are led to believe that after 20-30 hours of training, they will be able to digest a 2,700 page law that has spawned over 20,000 pages of regulations. Due to time restraints, there will be no vetting of these people whose job will be to find out everything there is to know about you. Identity theft anyone?
Are some of these grant applicants the same community organizing groups (pronounced ACORN) who heard candidate Barack Obama, back in 2007, telling them they would be called in to help set the agenda for his presidency? Planned Parenthood groups involved can surely keep this funding separate from their abortion mill (sarcasm).
The real motive is gaining access to your medical records so "death panels" can assess whether or not your puny existence is worthy of consideration.
Funding for IRS agents making sure you comply, will be unlimited. Support for doctors and hospitals is just the opposite. Obamacare mandates $716 billion in Medicare payment reductions to providers, including hospitals, nursing homes, home health agencies and hospice agencies. This will particularly harm seniors.
Young people who will be relied on to pick up the slack, won't be able to afford insurance because they can't find jobs in this fabulous Obamaconomy. So the answer is, let's subsidize insurance premiums.
We currently spend $668 billion/year on 126 different welfare programs. The poverty rate hasn't changed a bit despite spending $15 trillion since Lyndon Johnson declared war on poverty in 1964. Does adding on trillion$ more for Obamacare seem like a good plan?
Normally I would ask you to call your representatives and tell them to de-fund Obamacare. But, they are too busy to worry about the economy and that the worst piece of legislation in the history of man is about to go into effect. Obama's latest production of Kabuki theater, instilling outrage over his failure to back up his red line statement on Syria, is burning up their phone lines.

ALAMOGORDO, N.M. (AP) — A search in a New Mexico landfill for a rumored stash of what some call the worst video game ever made by Atari is set to get underway this month.
Microsoft-owned Xbox has announced that a dig of the Alamogordo landfill, where Atari reportedly discarded millions of "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" game cartridges in 1983, is scheduled for April 26.
Xbox officials say the excavation will be open for public viewing.
Xbox and two other entertainment companies are making a documentary about the project.
City officials tell the Alamogordo Daily News (http://bit.ly/R6R3VT) that the city has rights to any discovered games.
"E.T." the video game, inspired by the hit 1982 movie, was a commercial dud said to have contributed to Atari's decline.

So, the 4th entry in the update is always the CPU ID, and conveniently it's always the last one on the first line. It also makes grepping for them very easy, once you have the update broken down into smaller files. This is documented *somewhere* in LB, but I can't find it at the moment. It's also in the Intel architecture manual, volume 3a, table 9-6. In the past we labeled some CPU IDs as to what CPUs they belonged to. In truth, Intel uses the same CPU IDs for a variety of CPUs, for instance in some cases Celeron, Pentium X, and Xeons all share a common ID, since the core is still the same. So we can't really do that any more ;) -Corey

End Grain: Too Delicate A Touch
The hands are the tools that mean the most.
By Brad Graham
Page: 72
From the December 2010 issue # 187

When I was a professional woodworker, I experienced a satisfying fascination looking at my hands at the end of the day. As a full-time cabinetmaker, I thought about them as I made specialty cuts on the saw, my fingers gliding within a hairsbreadth of the hungry blade. At the end of each shift, I was, of course, relieved that they were still there, that some stupid oversight of fund amental safety on my part hadn't compromised them.
Though I was always glad they were intact, it was the appearance of my hands that appealed to me. They looked worn and used, like a good woodworker's hands should. Skin-like strips of dried glue leprously peeled from the tips of my fingers. Dark crusty islands of wood putty decorated my digits. Cracked, dry and calloused, these were the hands of someone who knew how to get the job done, who knew that a meticulous eye and talented hands could produce something truly exciting from a rough-hewn length of wood. I felt my hands were more impressive than other tools found in the shop.

I have some awesome news, everybody! Asgard is real. It's filled with giant golden pillars, battle arenas, armored soldiers, and even an epic, intricate prison system. I know this because I traveled there last year.
Okay, so I didn't hop on the Bifrost and get teleported away from Midgard, but I did fly out to Longcross Studios and Shepperton Studios in England last October to visit the set of Thor: The Dark World. Along with a small group of other film journalists I had the chance to watch scenes being filmed, talk with the stars and filmmakers, visit the various art departments and fully dive into the Nine Realms. But let's not get ahead of ourselves…
Unfortunately I can't tell you about all of the things I saw on the set of the Thor sequel just yet, but with the premiere of a brand new trailer for the movie set to come out tomorrow we've been given permission to share the interview that we did with the God of Thunder himself, Chris Hemsworth. Read on for the full scoop about The Dark World, including the status of the relationship between Thor and Loki, the Game of Thrones influence that director Alan Taylor brings, venturing into the other realms, and much, much more.
Where is Thor at the point where the movie starts?
Where is he? I mean Avengers is kind of a side step in amongst everything, for all the journeys. Iron Man and Thor… this is certainly a continuation of it, but at the same time Thor's journey, I think, picks more so up from where we left the first one: about to take on the throne, about to earn him the right to the king. And now coming to the realization of what that responsibility comes with. And also, Alan [Taylor] keeps talking about the dark side of that responsibility and the secrets within being king, or becoming sort of very political about what people need to know and what they want to know. And obviously Tom [Hiddleston]'s on set, so it's sort of this continuing, which is great, to have some meatier stuff with Tom. Certainly in The Avengers, the stuff I got to sink my teeth into were those scenes, and follow up our relationship. And the on-going sort of question from Thor about what is it that Loki wants, and how did we come to this? I think we get to kind of possibly attack some of those questions properly.
Are we going to see as much comedy on this as the Avengers, or has it got more of a serious edge?
Well no, because Downey's not here [laughs]. He takes care of that for us. I think that Jane and… or Natalie [Portman], and Kat Dennings certainly have some great humor. There's a few nice kind of fish-out-of-water moments with Thor, but not quite as naïve and obvious as the first one. I think the earth bound stuff really grounds the story in both films and keeps a lightness to it that trickles to Asgard as well.

Hey guys.
I cant set syntax to PHP. When I'm trying to do it, instead of PHP my syntax is set to HTML.. Is this normal ? You have the same thing ?
You are not alone, this happens for me too. It hasn't caused me any issue though so I haven't investigated if it can be corrected.
I had similar problem, I installed DetectSyntax package and now all syntaxes are detected automatically
Ok i installed DetectSyntax and now i got PHP syntax but when i select HTML syntax i got PHP syntax now so now is the opposite... You got the same situation @**evenous ** ? This is weird because in work i can select PHP syntax from menu and it works correctly in work but in home its not. There are lots of bugs on windows systems... Not all shortcuts works, on some machines works on some not. This should be corrected in sublime text 2.
Create an issue on GitHub [1] and either paste or gist the file you are having problems with and I'll investigate. Also note in the issue if you added any of your own rules for DetectSyntax or if you were using all the defaults. And if you did add your own, be sure to include those as well.
[1] [github.com/phillipkoebbe/DetectSyntax/issues](https://github.com/phillipkoebbe/DetectSyntax/issues)
I have the same problem... Any help?
I'm was having the same general issue with Sublime Text 3. It was all working fine earlier today, then suddenly all HTML documents have no syntax highlighting. When I set the syntax to HTML it shows HTML as checked in the selection list, but the active syntax in the bottom right of the editor shows up as PHP. (and no functioning syntax highlighting)
In my case PHP files also show up with PHP as the selected syntax highlighting, but syntax highlighting does not work.
I did notice that the AngularJS package adds "HTML (Angular.js)" as a syntax highlighting option, which when selected was working just fine. As I installed that package yesterday I thought it may be the culprit, but after uninstalling it the issue persisted. After re-installing the AngularJS package the "HTML (Angular.js)" syntax highlighting no-longer works, and PHP is shown as the active syntax in the bottom right of the editor.
Initially restarting Sublime did not appear to resolve this issue, but a recent restart of the application appears to have (at least temporarily) resolved the issue. I'm still posting this here just in case some of this information helps address this bug, which appears to have been around for a while.
Having the same issue with PHP being marked as PHP in the list of languages, but when I release the selection it shows HTML in the bottom/right corner and the syntax is highlighted accordingly.
Is there any easy solution for that yet!?
There is also a closed, but unanswered post on stackoverflow: stackoverflow.com/questions/1675 ... g-problems
Build 3065 on Mac OS 10.9
The HTML syntax actually opens certain types of what are generally considered to be php files e.g. phtml, inc, tmpl, tpl. The PHP syntax i.e. source.php is a subset of the HTML syntax.
The syntaxes are based on a very old version of the Textmate PHP Bundle. In fact it's based on version from around Feb 2 2012. It's old.
The newer version of Textmate PHP Bundle makes the above file types like phtml full fledged PHP syntax language types. I've tried to figure out how best to do this with a custom PHP Grammar (shameless plug). The problem is that the HTML syntax is tied to the PHP syntax it's not just a case of adding the above file types to the syntax definition file types list. Also, it's not neccessarily just a case of converting the existing textmate bundle into a sublime text one because there are dependency issues with other packages.
Make sure you try clearing any sublime text caches and indexes. If you're on Ubuntu check out:
Sublime Text 3: ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Cache and ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Index
I don't know about Sublime Text 2.
I observe the very same problem in build 3103.Only that one php file shows the right php syntax highlighting, while another shows html colors in spite of having set the language explicitly to php and php shown in the language field down right.

See Every Absurd Outfit Jennifer Love Hewitt Wears on Season One of The Client List
Sundresses and lingerie, mostly.
Jennifer Love Hewitt's sex-worker drama The Client List returned last night for its second season. The show's first season was marked by three things: One, it was extremely popular, regularly pulling in more than 2.5 million viewers. Two, it was weirdly unerotic, despite being about a woman who gives extremely tender, therapeutic hand jobs to paying clients. (That's JLH, who plays Riley, a Texas woman who's left with few employment options after her husband ditches her and their two young children.) And three, Riley sported some sometimes absurd clothing. She's no Olivia Pope, that's for sure. Journey with us through all of Riley's cleavage-enhancing tops, ridiculous bra-and-panty getups, and button-down shirts that are very rarely buttoned.BEGIN SLIDESHOW

Southeast Asian grain buyers took advantage of direct contact with U.S. producers at the recent Southeast Asia U.S. Agricultural Cooperators Conference to purchase at least 725,000 metric tons of corn or corn products, as well as substantial amounts of soybeans and wheat.
The U.S. Grains Council (USGC), American Soybean Association (ASA) and U.S. Wheat Associates (USWA) jointly organized the recent conference to address current industry concerns in the region and to provide broader perspective and insight for U.S. grain customers on what lies ahead for the new marketing season with regard to raw food and feed ingredients.
The 126 guests in attendance included the Southeast Asian region's major food, feed and livestock producers; international and regional exporters; port and logistic operators; and numerous speakers. At least half of the participants completed exit surveys, and a majority noted the conference was a convenient and conducive venue for trade negotiations. At least 25 participants indicated they negotiated sales or contracts for U.S. corn, soybeans and wheat during the conference.
Regarding corn sales, seven participants said they negotiated sales or contracts for at least 75,000 metric tons of U.S. corn or corn products; three negotiated sales or contracts for 50,000-75,000 tons; two for 25,000-50,000 tons; and four for less than 25,000 tons.
For U.S. soybeans or soy products, eight participants indicated making sales or contracts for at least 75,000 tons; one for 50,000-75,000 tons; two for 25,000-50,000 tons; and six for less than 25,000 tons.
For U.S. wheat, three participants negotiated sales or contracts for at least 75,000 tons; one for 50,000-75,000 tons; five for 25,000-50,000 tons; and eight for less than 25,000 tons.
"During the conference, the U.S. agricultural cooperators successfully conveyed to the participants that we are committed to the Southeast Asia region for the long term and that our common goal is to continue to work with our customers to help grow Southeast Asia's agricultural and food industry to its fullest potential," said Kim Rameker, director of the U.S. Grains Council's Malaysia office.
The past marketing season has been an extraordinary one for the Southeast Asia region. There has been fluctuating supply, unrelenting demand and record prices. Having just gone through the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, the region faced another crippling crisis with the avian influenza outbreak which had a traumatic effect on the region's poultry industry. As a result, growth in many feed and poultry companies was stunted. It is under these conditions that the ASA decided to pass over this year's Soy Buyers Conference and join efforts with USGC and USWA to organize a special conference that would help address current industry concerns.

CHICAGO—HFF said Tuesday that it has arranged an adjustable-rate acquisition loan for the $91.3 million purchase of 230 West Monroe this past summer.
HFF put together the financing for a joint venture comprised of Lincoln Property Group and an investment fund, reportedly Newport Beach, Calif.-based PIMCO. Stamford, Conn.-based General Electric Pension Trust sold the 29-story office building in August.
The 623,524-sq.-ft. building is about 89 percent leased, according to an HFF statement. The property underwent lobby renovation, retail expansion and elevator modernization in 2003. The HFF team representing the borrower was led by senior managing directors Kevin MacKenzie and Michael Kavanau and managing director Tim Joyce. The HFF team, which had also worked on the sale of the property, did not divulge the loan amount.

Fire claims homes, evacuates school
A wildfire that started last Tuesday north of an around Omak Lake is now 60 percent contained after burning two homes, more than 16,000 acres of grass and timber and eight structures, and evacuating a school.
A Washington Incident Management Team fire official stated Tuesday that they hope to turn the The St. Mary's Mission Road Fire over to local resources within a day or two.
The fire started last Oct. 2, and shutdown Paschal Sherman Indian School for several days. Students returned to classes in the school Oct. 9.
An Incident spokesman said that the fire had burned 16,853 acres in rocky and timbered areas and was still ablaze, although not as intensely.
After a fire resource meeting at 6 p.m. Monday, fire officials released one of the eight helicopters that were battling the blaze.
Currently there are 591 personnel on the fire, and 42 fire engines, nine dozers and 15 tenders.
Two houses have been destroyed and eight additional structures have gone up in smoke.
The cause of the blaze, which started near the junction of St. Mary's Mission Road with highway 155 near Omak, was still under investigation Tuesday, officials stated.
A chance for rain is forecast for this weekend.
"Providing for firefighter and public safety is a top priority at all times," a fire official stated. Also the objective is to reduce the impacts on wildlife by minimizing the acres burned.
Heavy smoke caused the closure of the Columbia River Road to Omak, but it was re-opened over the weekend.
The Colville Tribes is working with the incident management team, providing personnel and equipment.
Helicopters were dipping water from Omak Lake and dumping on the southeast and eastern areas of the burn. Mop up action was taking place near the Paschal Sherman Indian School.
There were some evacuations due to the fire and several residents within the fire zone were put on alert. Tuesday, residents along Haley Creek remained at a level-two evacuation, meaning they should be ready to leave within an hour, and residents along Moomaw Road, Kartar Valley and Timentwa Flats remained at level one.
Early on, winds of 15 mph were fanning the blaze, but cooler night temperatures and an easing of the winds was helping firefighters work to get a line around the fire.
A statewide burn ban remains in effect until at least Oct. 15, declared by the governor.

Mineral Carbonation of Abyssal Serpentinites
AbstractThis proposal seeks funds to conduct a systematic and comprehensive study of carbonatealtered serpentinites from mid-ocean ridges, continental rifted margins, forearc settings and an active shallow-water Lost City type serpentinization system. The composition and associations of secondary minerals in these rocks will be analyzed using a combination of classic and cutting edge analytical methods to unravel reaction pathways during CO2- sequestration. Phase petrology and geochemical reaction path modeling will be used to estimate gas fugacities, solute activities of intergranular fluids, temperature and overall water flux.
Furthermore, this proposal seeks funds to conduct a series of CO2-sequestration experiments to gain first insights into the, to date, poorly constrained evolution of fluid chemistry during mineral carbonation of serpentinite. Carbon-dioxide-enriched fluids will be reacted with serpentinized peridotite at constant temperature (T) and pressure (P). The role of the protolith composition and pCO2 will be explicitly addressed. Under well constrained P-T conditions the concentrations of relevant aqueous species can be used to deduce the dominant stable and metastable phase equilibria. The results will provide valuable new insights into the process of carbonate alteration in serpentinites, its consequences for CO2 exchange between the abyssal mantle and the oceans, and petrophysical property evolution during CO2- sequestration.

oram and styris so far, decision coming soon on where its being played
FFS. The only thing I dislike about the subcontinent is the security issues, real or imagined, getting the players nervous.
Hopefully Marshall and O'Brien refuse offers. Don't want to see either near an ODI for a long time. O'Brien can be kept for tests though.
We can cover Oram with Elliott/Ryder. Styris will be covered by Flynn or Fulton I'd imagine.

I don't think Franklin will be back for this tournament. He has hardly even bowled anything in the emerging players tourno let alone domestic cricket. Highly unlikely that he'd be the same standard eg. Tuffey. They also say Fulton is way out of whack atm, i personally would like to see him play..

Can we chuck Corey Anderson in there if he gets player of the tournament in emerging players? We need another backup all rounder to G elliott
The Vettori brain massage session:
NZ Players Association says they don't support the tour, surprise surprise. Will be interesting to see how this develops.
I doubt NZ will go. But If they do it will be full of newbies I think.
Corey Anderson is 17 aye? Big promise, but too young. Still if all the top guys pull out, there's really nothing to lose... right?
Southee said he's "unsure" whether he'd go to Pakistan.
I guess that proves that his place in the ODI side is as assured as a lot of the seniors in the team.
When you average less than Shane Bond with the ball and you've had great influence in ODI victories I imagine you'd be pretty popular with the selectors.
Unless Ric Charlesworth is around, of course.

BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian rebels clashed with regime troops in the narrow stone alleyways around a historic 12th century mosque inside the walled Old City of Aleppo on Thursday, while a government airstrike in the countryside north of the city killed at least seven people, activists said.
The rebels, who have been slowly chipping away at the regime's hold on Aleppo, received a boost Wednesday from the U.S. in their fight to oust Syrian President Bashar Assad. Washington pledged an additional $60 million in assistance to the opposition and — in a significant policy shift — for the first time will provide nonlethal aid like food and medical supplies directly to rebel forces on the ground.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry announced the decision on the sidelines of an international conference on Syria in Rome, where European nations were also expected to signal their intention to provide fresh assistance to the opposition, possibly including defensive military hardware.
The rebels have made a number of strategic gains in northern Syria in recent weeks, including the capture of a hydroelectric dam and some military bases. They also have been regularly hitting the heart of Damascus with mortar rounds, puncturing the aura of normalcy that the regime has tried to cultivate in the capital.
In Aleppo, a key battleground in the civil war, clashes raged around the landmark Umayyad Mosque in the walled Old City, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. The rebels control one part of the mosque, and government troops hold the other.
Rebels launched an offensive on Aleppo, Syria's largest urban center and its commercial capital, in July 2012. Since then, the city has been carved into rebel- and government-controlled zones in brutal street fighting that has destroyed entire neighborhoods and damaged some of the ancient city's rich archaeological and cultural heritage.
The Umayyad Mosque, also known as the Great Mosque of Aleppo, sits near a medieval covered market in the Old City, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The mosque was heavily damaged in October 2012 just weeks after a fire gutted the old city's famed market.
North of Aleppo, a government airstrike on the village of Deir Jamal killed at least seven people, including five children, according to the Observatory. It was not immediately clear what the target was, but regime warplanes frequently carry out bombing runs on rebel-held towns.
Farther south in the central city of Homs, the state news agency said a car bomb caused casualties and extensive material damage, but it did not elaborate.
An official in the Homs governor's office told The Associated Press that there were two blasts and that four people were killed and at least six wounded. The official spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations.
With the bloodshed showing no sign of abating, the Syrian opposition has grown increasingly frustrated with what it sees as the international community's apathy toward the suffering on the ground and its unwillingness to provide rebels with the arms they need to counter the regime's superior firepower.
The U.S. and its European allies have been reluctant to arm the opposition fighters the ground for fear the weapons could end up in the hands of Islamic militants, who might then carry out attacks on Western or Israeli targets.
So far, the U.S. has largely limited its assistance to the Syrian opposition to funding for communications and other logistical equipment.
The U.S. decision to provide more aid directly to the rebels is designed to increase the pressure on Assad to step down and pave the way for a democratic transition. The aid is also intended to help the opposition Syrian National Coalition govern newly liberated areas of Syria and blunt the influence of extremists.
"For more than a year, the United States and our partners have called on Assad to heed the voice of the Syrian people and to halt his war machine," Kerry said in Rome. "Instead, what we have seen is his brutality increase."
The Coalition, which has been hampered by the same infighting that has dogged the opposition since the uprising began, has struggled to agree on the leadership of a transitional administration since the opposition umbrella group was formed late last year. The group has met on previous occasions to select an interim prime minister, but has failed to reach a compromise.
In a statement posted on its Facebook page, the group said the March 2 conference in Istanbul was canceled for "logistical reasons." It said it would announce a new date as soon as possible.
Walid al-Bunni, a spokesman for the Coalition, said the meeting was pushed back "for few days" to allow for more consultations with members of the opposition inside Syria who have been hampered by security issues and because some local councils who were supposed to take part in the conference were holding elections.
Associated Press writers Albert Aji in Damascus, Syria, Ryan Lucas in Beirut, and Mathew Lee in Rome contributed to this report.

ABU DHABI (Reuters) - Britain's Justin Rose produced a soft-shoe shuffle to the top of the second-round leaderboard at the Abu Dhabi Championship on Friday while world number one Rory McIlroy and second-ranked Tiger Woods missed the cut.
McIlroy went out after slumping to a second successive three-over 75 on his debut with his new Nike clubs and Woods suffered the same fate after being handed a belated two-shot penalty for a bizarre rules infringement at the fifth hole.
Rose (69) almost crept under the radar as he went one stroke clear of fellow Briton Jamie Donaldson (70), Dane Thorbjorn Olesen (69) and Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano of Spain (67) at the tough Abu Dhabi Golf Club layout.
World number five Rose has had his share of back trouble over the years but he said the problem had been eased by new footwear.
"When you do as much walking as we do I really believe these softer soles, and the flexibility they give, help me," the 32-year-old Englishman told reporters after finishing with an eight-under total of 136.
"I don't have a great hip rotation so if I wear a really rigid shoe I can't turn as well on it and therefore my lower back takes a bit of pain."
Rose's steady climb up the world rankings, his excellent performance at last year's Ryder Cup and some victories on the U.S. PGA Tour have given his confidence a huge lift.
"I think there's a difference in how I feel about my game and how I trust my game," he said. "I believe that any tournament I tee up in, I can win.
"Often you tell yourself that but really believing it is a different kettle of fish."
Rose said his iron play was faultless on Friday as he mixed four birdies with a solitary bogey.
"I felt like I hit the ball pin-high an awful lot today and that tells you that you are swinging the club great," he added.
"Conditions were absolutely perfect today. There was maybe a five-mph wind that just puffed up for the last couple of holes but really nothing to get in the way of low scoring."
Woods produced an erratic effort although he was ultimately undone by tournament referee Andy McFee.
The 14-times major winner made a dreadful start, dropping strokes at three of the first four holes before making another bogey at the fifth.
Six holes later McFee informed Woods he might have to sign for a triple-bogey seven rather than a bogey five.
Woods had struck a wayward shot into a desert bush at the fifth and, after consulting playing partner Martin Kaymer, the pair agreed he should be allowed a free drop because it had become imbedded.
The regulations, however, allow for a free drop in such circumstances only if the ball has finished anywhere but in sand and Woods was therefore handed his penalty at the end of the round.
"It's tough because I didn't get off to a good start but I fought and got it back," the 37-year-old American said after eventually posting a three-over-par 75 for a three-over tally of 147 to miss the cut by one stroke.
"I was right there and I felt if I was even-par overall I had a chance going into the weekend, being only eight back of the leader. Evidently it wasn't enough."
Woods had produced a scorching run of five birdies in nine holes from the eighth, including three in a row to the 16th, but his rally proved in vain.
McIlroy, playing alongside Woods and Kaymer, was as disappointed as the American after he also failed to qualify for the last two rounds.
"It was pretty much the same as yesterday," said the Northern Irishman. "When you don't hit the fairways on this course you can't score.
"I didn't drive the ball well, I didn't putt well again and my iron play wasn't anywhere near the standard that is usual for me. All aspects of my game were off.
"It's the first week," he said, referring to his new clubs, "so I wouldn't read too much into it.
"I'll work on the range for a few hours tomorrow and try to clear a few things up with my coach," added McIlroy who now plans a four-week break from competitive golf.
