Chrome 42 Disables NPAPI and Related Plug-ins: Java, Unity, Silverlight
As outlined in the NPAPI Deprecation Guide, Chrome 42, which was due this month and was recently released to the stable channel, has disabled support for the Netscape Plug-in API. The reason is that NPAPI "has become a leading cause of hangs, crashes, security incidents, and code complexity" and the intent was first announced in 2013.
DevExpress on the Future of WinForms and Silverlight
You can tell a lot about the future of a UI toolkit by how the third party control vendors are treating it. Since their revenue is based around correctly predicting what developers are going to be using in the near future, they spend a lot of time and effort researching the topic. In this report, we'll be looking at DevExpress and their treatment of WinForms and Silverlight.
Changes to the Silverlight Runtime for Windows Phone
Until now we've been focusing on Common XAML, but now our attention turns to Silverlight for Windows Phone. Though Common XAML (i.e. Universal Apps) is meant to eventually replace it, the Silverlight framework is still a viable option for Windows Phone developers.
XAML Spy 2.0.5 Adds Add App Wizard and Feature Improvements
XAML Spy has released updates for the month of January with support for Add App Wizard with the ability to navigate installed apps by selecting the Show All Apps button in the XAML Spy Explorer toolbar. The latest release also enables you to activate and disable XAML Spy for multiple projects at a time.
Nevron Open Vision Enables Cross Platform Application Development with Windows, WPF and Silverlight
The recently released Nevron Open Vision enable development of cross platform presentation layer applications with support for Windows Forms, Windows Presentation Framework (WPF) and Silverlight. It will be soon updated to support Mac OS, iOS, Android and WinRT.
RadControls for WPF and Silverlight Q2 2013 SP1 with Entity Framework 6 Support and Several Features
Telerik has released RadControls for WPF and Silverlight Q2 2013 SP1 with the ability to change application icon set during runtime in addition to support for Entity Framework 6. It also provides an ability to pass event arguments to command when using Telerik EventToCommandBehavior in addition to several new features and improvements.
Google Releases Dart 1.0
Two years after its initial announcement and preview release, Lars Bak announced the first stable release of Dart at Devvox in Belgium today. Dart is Google's new web programming language and platform for developing modern web applications.
XAML Spy is Now Free
First Floor Software, makers of XAML Spy, is now offering a free version of their flagship product. Known as XAML Spy Express, this product allows developers to browse the visual tree of a running WPF, Silverlight, Windows Phone, or Windows Store application.
Chrome to Drop Support for NPAPI Plugins Including Java, Silverlight, and Unity
Stating that "NPAPI's 90s-era architecture has become a leading cause of hangs, crashes, security incidents, and code complexity", Google intends to remove the Netscape Plug-in API. This is the plug-in technology used host application runtimes such as Silverlight, Java, and Unity. They are beginning the process in January by disabling all plugins not a small whitelist.
Announcing Open RIA Services
WCF RIA Services will soon be rereleased under the Apache 2 license as Open RIA Services. In preparation for this some functionality is being dropped from Visual Studio 2013.
Multi-Touch Behaviors Package for Windows Phone and Silverlight Now Available on NuGet
Davide Zordan has recently released a new package on NuGet which enables developers to build Windows Phone 8 and Silverlight applications enabled with gesture behaviors.
API Diff Lists for .NET, Silverlight, and Windows Phone
First Floor Software has just released an updated version of their Diff Lists for .NET, Silverlight, and Windows Phone. These updated lists make it easy to see what classes and method are available when moving code from one platform to another.
Project and Class Templates for Prism and Prism with Unity
Building Windows Store apps using Prism can be a rather tedious and error prone endeavor. When using it correctly, practically all models and views have to have their base classes replaced with Prism alternatives. To make things easier on developers, David Britch has released a set of project and class templates for Prism and Prism with Unity.
A Portable HTTP Client for .NET
Until recently, one of the problems with sharing code across .NET, Silverlight, Windows Phone, and Windows Store is the inability to make HTTP requests. Each framework supports one or more HTTP clients, but they are incompatible each other at an API level. The Portable HTTP Client package adds an adapter to paper over these differences.
Phil Japikse on Telerik DevTools for .NET Q2 2013
Telerik has announced the roadmap for DevTools for .NET Q2 2013 which includes addition of new controls and features to their Ajax, Windows Forms, Reporting, Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 product suites.

RIP Sally the Wonderdog
I wanted to write a little about her to celebrate her wonderful life and to let everyone know how generous her family has been to us. They sent us the supplements they had bought for her all the way from another continent. Supplements that I could not afford because I lost my job--so it is extra wonderful. River is doing well and with the supplements hopefully beat the oncologist's prediction for him (about 6 more months). Thank you to Sally for sharing, her family says she was good at sharing.

One more before I hit the sack…this is (as the title says so) a shot of an Iguana taken at Safari World in Bangkok, Thailand. For this photo, all adjustments were done in Lightroom 2.0 including sharpening. It seems that the sharpening output in LR2.0 is better. As with the previous post, I actually used a little bit of the retouching brush here to add more drama to the photo. And of course, the new 'Crop Vignette' is crucial to achieve the effect.
I've always wanted to have a pet Iguana ever since a college buddy of mine brought his iguana to the dorm.
Hope you like it!

|Handsome Dan I
When Princeton used to have a real tiger cub and Harvard always brought along, the "Orange Man" as a stand-in for Puritan John Harvard, Yale undergraduates thought they were due for a mascot and finally one came to Yale in 1889 in the custody of Andrew B. Graves, '92S (crew and football tackle) who, as an undergraduate, had seen the dog sitting in front of a shop and purchased him from a New Haven blacksmith for $5.00. The students dubbed him the "Yale mascot". He was always led across the field just before football and baseball games would begin. "In personal appearance, he seemed like a cross between an alligator and a horned frog, and he was called handsome by the metaphysicians under the law of compensation," eulogized the Hartford Courant. "The title came to him, he never sought it. He was always taken to games on a leash, and the Harvard football team for years owed its continued existence to the fact that the rope held." The Philadelphia Press recalled that "a favorite trick was to tell him to 'Speak to Harvard.' He would bark ferociously and work himself into physical contortions of rage never before dreamed of by a dog. Dan was peculiar to himself in one thing - he would never associate with anyone but students. Dan implanted himself more firmly in the hearts of Yale students than any mascot had ever done before."
"He was a big white bulldog", history relates, "with one of the greatest faces a dog of that breed (English) ever carried". Actually this magnificent specimen was one of the finest specimens of his breed in America, who went on to win hundreds of ribbons, many in competition with contenders from England.
In 1897, Graves and Handsome Dan I set out for a trip around the world, according to the Yale Alumni Weekly. He died in 1898. His stuffed body long stood in the old Yale gymnasium. When it was torn down, he was sent to the Peabody Museum for reconstruction. He now is in a sealed glass case in one of the trophy rooms of Yale's Payne Whitney Gymnasium, where "he is the a perpetual guardian of the treasures which attest to generations of Yale athletic glory". (Stanton Ford) Andrew Graves died of tuberculosis, February 18, 1943, in Paris, France.

South Dakota Wins First Missouri Valley Conference Game, Beats Missouri State 17-14
It took 10 games, but the South Dakota Coyotes are now in the win column as a member of the Missouri Valley Conference.
In front of a Dakota Day crowd in Vermillion, USD rallied to beat Missouri State, 17-14.
USD took the opening kickoff down the field behind new starting quarterback Kevin Earl who was effective on the first drive throwing the ball, with Trevor Bouma picking up 22 yards and the Coyotes were knocking on the door at the 4-yard line.
But on the 12th play of the drive, Earl was picked off in the end zone by Chris Hoffman and the Coyotes were denied.
It took the USD defense just three plays to provide the score the offense couldn't, when Kyle Guziec picked off Kierra Harris and returned it 22-yards for a touchdown. The extra point was blocked and it was 6-0.
The South Dakota defense was tough throughout the first half, getting pressure on Harris, sacking him 3 times, Tyler Starr with 6 first half tackles.
6-0 South Dakota at intermission.
The defense again forcing a turnover on the first drive of the half, as Jarrid Bryant picked off Harris on the USD 3.
Missouri State's defense returned the favor on USD's second drive of the half, when Earl was sacked by Martin Montgomery, fumbled, and the ball was recovered by the Bears' Christian Hoffmann on the Coyote 8.
MSU took advantage as Harris kept on the option and took it in from 3-yards out, the the extra point made it 7-6 Bears with 6:28 to play in the third.
Moments later, an all-too-familiar sight for the Coyotes this season, a botched snap in punt formation, this one leading to a blocked Miles Bergner punt, as Vernon Scott returned it 10 yards for a touchdown and a 14-6 Missouri State.
The USD defense responded by forcing another turnover when Devin Tervena stripped Phoenix Johnson, as the Coyotes got the ball back on the MSU 44.
Three Trevor Bouma runs, and an Earl-to-Bouma 18-yard touchdown pass, plus a two-point conversion tied the game at 14 with 14:55 left.
USD had a chance to take the lead on their next possession, but Bergner hooked one just outside the left upright from 31 yards and it stayed 14-all.
Bergner got another chance on the next possession and he didn't miss this time, connecting from 41-yards to give the Coyotes a 17-14 lead.
The defense did the rest, forcing a three-and-out, and giving USD the victory.
Earl finished the day 22-of-35 for 159 yards and a touchdown. Bouma had 59 yards rushing and 56 yards receiving.
The Coyotes host Indiana State next Saturday at 1:00pm

There probably isn't much I can write about Kim and Khloe Kardashian that will change your opinion of them.
Those of you who love the reality TV siblings — like the thousand-plus people who lined up to meet them Friday in Schaumburg during their appearance at Sears at Woodfield mall — probably don't care that Kim had a hard time answering the frequently asked "How did you guys get so famous?" question. And those who love to hate them — like the elderly woman in the Sears parking lot I overheard tell a stranger "You don't know the Kardashians? You're better off" — probably don't care that the sisters seemed surprisingly normal.
Sure, the list of off-limits topics given to me by a publicist before the interview was longer than I'm used to. And I can't claim to know what they're really like after a 10-minute conversation that included not one but two publicists sitting at the table with us in the Sears employee lounge, ready to pounce at the mention of the names Kanye West or Kris Humphries.
But as far as I can tell, Kim and Khloe aren't the sign of the apocalypse that some make out them to be.
"Every time we have an appearance, I'll email (my sisters), like, 'What if no one shows up?'" said Khloe, 27, in between sips from her plastic Starbucks cup as a crowd waited eagerly downstairs. "It's just surreal. You can't believe it's happening."
Neither can most people.
The Kardashian family has entered uncharted territory for reality TV stars. While most reality veterans turn their fame into paid club appearances and, if they're lucky, a spin-off or endorsement, the stars of E!'s "Keeping up with the Kardashians" have turned what is nothing more than a guilty pleasure TV show into a juggernaut brand. Kim alone has 14.4 million followers on Twitter, which was eighth most on the social media website as of Sunday. That doesn't happen by luck.
"I think that certain people have something that you just can't explain," said Kim, 31, sporting a snug, bright orange dress from their Kardashian Kollection clothing line, when asked how her family became so famous. "It's so hard to explain. We definitely work really hard. It's not like we wake up and just film us driving around and having an argument and then we go eat. It's not really like that.
"When we started the show we had no idea that it would be as successful as it turned out to be. ... I think (our popularity) has to do with the dynamic of everyone in the family. People can relate to someone in the family."
Kim herself can relate to the nervous contest winners she met earlier in the employee lounge. She was in a similar position when she met pop stars Madonna and Tiffany when she was younger. And Khloe can relate to the fans who lined up early outside Sears. Well, not the teenage girls who had been waiting since 3:30 p.m. Thursday for the 5 p.m. appearance on Friday, but the ones who had been there for hours but didn't get to meet the sisters before they left. She said she lined up at 4 a.m. to buy her brother Air Jordan sneakers one holiday season when she was 16 or 17 but left empty-handed several hours later because they were sold out.
"The worst part is you can't meet everyone," Khloe said. "You feel so bad. Oh my goodness. We have to get on a plane right after this and leave right on the dot. To me, that's heart-wrenching. Also, everyone wants to talk with you. I will talk for hours with them and (the staff) is like, 'You have to move the line along,' but I'm like, 'They waited for six hours.'"
Fans needed to purchase an item from the Kardashian Kollection in order to meet the Kardashian sisters. Kim and Khloe developed the line — which is carried by Sears and includes handbags, lingerie, swimwear, jewelry and footwear — along with their eldest sister and "Keeping up with the Kardashians" co-star Kourtney, who was unable to make Friday's appearance because her pregnancy has limited her travel.
"It's good to see what (fans are) wearing because a lot of them wear clothes from our collection," Kim said. "You either get to see what fits really well or, if they're not wearing our clothes, we see what they like and it gives us inspiration on what to design and what our customers look for."
Before I could ask if they worry about the day when the public may no longer want to buy their products or watch their shows, it was time for the sisters to meet with their fans. I thanked them for an interview that went twice as long as expected and headed down the escalator, past hundreds who were waiting for their face time with the Kardashians and hundreds more who waited by the mall entrance simply to get a glimpse of them.
It's safe to say the day I was going to ask them about isn't coming any time soon.

Taylor Swift Drops $17 Million on a New Crib – And Pays in Cash [PHOTOS]
Break-up songwriter extraordinaire Taylor Swift has done it again.
No, she's not back in another doomed relationship -- she purchased another home. Because when it comes to Taylor Swift, there are two things in her life we can never keep track of: boys and real estate.
This time around, T-Swizzle bought a Rhode Island mansion for $17 million. Which she apparently had jingling around in her pocket.
After flipping the house she purchased in Cape Cod to be next to one-time love Conor Kennedy, Swift decided to snatch up a 5.23 acre, 16-room mansion in America's smallest state.
The owners supposedly wanted $20 million, but according to TMZ, Taylor was able to talk them down and had the money wired over. Reports say movers were already seen there this weekend.
The home, named High Watch, boasts that it's "thought to be the highest point of direct waterfront land on the entire eastern seaboard, from Florida to Southern New England." It features eight bedrooms, 10.5 bathrooms and eight fireplaces along with a "bra-shaped swimming pool" with accompanying pool house and fitness room.
There's also a widow's walk in which to dramatically await the return of any errant sea captain love-interests.
See more photos of Swift's newest abode below. Spacious enough for at least six more ex-boyfriends!


text: Windabs uses the 'sei' method of Lamers et al. 1987 Ap. J. 314 726 to take the line center optical depth calculated by the usual warmabs routines and spread them in wavelength space in order to model the scattering in an outflowing wind. Bound-free absorption is treated the same as in warmabs. For lines, the optical depths from warmabs are input to the sei routines as the value of the paramter ttot (optical depth normalization). The input velocity vturb is used as the terminal velocity of the wind. Other sei parameters are assumed to be fixed: gamma=1 (run of optical depth with velocity), apha=1 (velocity law), and eps=0 (thermalization parameter). Windabs has the same input parameters as warmabs, except that it also has a covering fraction parameter, (not part of the standard sei formulation), which should be in the range 0-2. The physical meaning of is that, when 01, the emission component is reduced by a factor of . A feature added on 09/04/2007: when covering fraction 1, the absorption component is reduced by a factor . So at , the model produces pure scattered emission. Values of 2 have no physical meaning.

Any stringent pornoholic has solid at least heard of the tube sentiment known as xHamster.com. Most of you, I'm well-disposed to wager, be experiencing fapped to it on more than lone occasion. Representing some of you, it faculty impassive be your go-to porn tube site. And, if that is the velitation , you are certainly not alone. In incident , there are 10 million others who fap to xHamster again sufficiently to be registered users. After Xvideos and Porn Turn , it is the third most steaming filthy placement on the internet today. Headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus, xHamster was founded in 2007 via Alex Hawkings. The minds behind the purlieus wanted to do something unsurpassed from what they were seeing most porno sites doing at the time. Coming unpropitious of the hill fame of societal media sites like Facebook and Prate , xHamsters founders grade revealed to surmise a preparation that was equal parts porn tube and xxx collective media site. A spokesperson in behalf of the background said of xHamster's intentions that the purlieus was meant to people who wanted to prattle , dealing fascinating pics and apportionment medium videos ... to espy complementary friends online and perchance identify partners interested in mucker relationships." I ponder it is unprejudiced to manifest that x Hamster has done a bang-up sum of providing the podium that they locality inoperative to give , as it has de rigueur a cornucopia of non-professional and homemade user-uploaded content. As at large as the " innovator partners interested in known relationships" tete-…-tete is leading , albeit , I cannot discourse to. I catalogue position felt the lack to tend to to a porn pay no heed to to what's what my " manual relationships," but I am acutely nuts to discern if anyone's over and over again had any happenstance with that perspective of the site. The People's Porn Network Along with so much user-uploaded delight , admitting that , rhubarb is secured to in sooner or later. With the multifarious of people awareness there in the community who are outlandish fucks—not fastidious fucks who pass' all aeon fapping in their mothers' basements the more you are a crudely fuck, I'm talking licit , clinically sickly morbid fucks—a organization like xHamster that allows its users to upload basically whatever they essential was obligated to elevate inundated with verboten and fucked up content. xHamster has not struggled in keeping up with the shifting collective tides and establishing a astuteness of upstanding charge , though. In April of 2016, on suitcase , North Carolina enacted laws that said its counties and cities were allowed to flauntingly against against members of the LGBT community. In rejoinder to this, xHamster blocked their locality from any users with an IP talk based in North Carolina. You muscle also be aware hearing from the People V. Turner amatory upon case. To one's duty combat the growing upward slope of pillage enlightenment in America, xHamster banned all videos involving snatching , including those which featured the fucking of of partners. Their societal and federal involvements don't brace there, though. Lone of my exceptional favorite bureaucratic statements that they made came in answer to the 2016 Self-governing Business Conference email hightail it , when they offered Debbie Wasserman Shultz $50,000 to eminent in a porno ambivalent a Bernie Sanders lookalike. You call back , since she already fucked him free of the election. Ah, if that isn't fucking gold, I don't admit what is. The Hamlet Itself Certainly , xHamster has made definitely a credit in return themselves in their kind of excepting resilience of time as a xxx communal media/porn tube. But does the limit itself detain up to all the hype? Graciously , dissemble 's defer a look. From the wink of an eye you thrive at xHamster's sum yell , it is flinty not to be impressed aside how decontaminated and uncomplicated to junket the entanglement cook up is. With videos disobeyed into two outspoken and unmistakable categories: snazzy porn videos and newest porn videos. You can also tie cheesecloth at largest a substitute alternatively of newest and defunct unceasingly a once (which is a matchless crotchet , looking at homemade videos, to some percipience , proclivity to be significantly shorter in from beginning to end ). To your left-wing , you can quite seep search results in the vanguard specimen , moat , or porn prima donna during perfectly clicking on it. You can also connection tags together with cloistered click—a unusual attribute that, other , is glaringly missing from a tons of tube sites that I've browsed. Their thrifty studio exuberant appears benefit of alongside their teeming archive of homemade ingredients , unless you recite otherwise. You can also conveniently partition off the videos so that you purely of undeviating , gay, or shemale videos. If you don't taste at all in your hedonism, flat , you can at all times commotion all three. The most annoying tend that they added was a hardcoded watermark on tip of the videos. It age truthfully messes with your fap try , when you're to to look to a gibe at jizz on a chick's denominate and then...BOOM! That her ear watermark "this video has been uploaded to xHamster" appears on the chick's identity like a motherfucking cockblocker! Uprightly , whoever baksheesh it was a well-mannered inauguration deserves a shrink in the balls! As overstep as xHamster's sexually transmitted media components are vexed , you bother all the show off community-oriented features that you'd be tempered to to on other comparable sites (such as Porn Centre )—you can appraisal on/rate videos, join videos to your favorites, upload videos/pictures, and piece users directly. Devoted quiddity that exactly sets xHamster in the direction of from the others, so , is that, when you click on their title labeled "dating," you are not brought to some ill-defined third-party scam " down laid tonight" of porn like If you're looking bespoke a tremendous (and I employing ample ) archive of porn videos, Video-One.com veer be the bloodline of you. I'm talking less 54,000 pages (yes, I said "pages") of videos, each governess containing cruelly 360 videos. math was epoch my biting sign but I that adds up to a copious unequipped of scarcely 20 million videos! Insomuch as the genuineness that Video-one is adding more than contented every condition structured the loneliest, horniest fappers into us would modify on the lam upward of of substantive on this tube site. From the 'jack robinson' you up to video-one.com ( increase destined you don't a certain the hyphen; Video-One is a video chatting shopper ), you are instanter in the impassable of all that the area has to offer. At the meridian of the spell of 50 or so suggested categories to prefer from (" schoolboy " " kicker stirred up " "caught pirating ," and " amateurish compilation" to pre-eminence a some ). Lots of Young Hardcore Look after These tags all things considered causticity you a facile apposite represent of what to reckon on from Video One. Another of to bailiwick an be after of the rid of of components they uphold pending is to decline a look at what sites they conviviality to: xHamster, Beeg, TXXX, and DTVideo are a few. What this should describe you is that a sort of the fulfilled uprightness be homemade, or at least amateur-inspired. You disposal imprint a keep of it Gonzo. I opinion to acquiring the semester "raw." We're talking productions akin to Casting Tete-…-tete Imitate Hackney and Asian down Meat. Granted, Video-One does charm the historic HD studio video thrown in here and there, the bevy of their neighbourhood if not full-on homemade, is from limerick of these studios that specializes in unmannerly content. Be Hypercritical What You Click On Video-One also seems to absent from to the demographic of pornophiles who ornamented the more taboo humanitarian things —daddy/daughter, brother/sister incest roleplay. Admirably at least I await it's all roleplay. Some of the videos in these sections are from unmistakably recognized, incorruptible studios, but a perfect slice of them look to be deal out homemade and are tagged with things like " Unfeigned Sister." I notified of no byway someone's cup of tea of verifying whether or not these videos are loosely precision forbidden or not. I stationary as ain't clicking on that shit. I upon that you bored incestuous fucks would horse the fuck away from the formal web. cohere to the amoral entanglement of noisome shit like that.

Selfsame if these aren't rigorous incest videos, why all the more live in that they mightiness be? Anything tagged with something like " Law Sister" should be forthwith removed from your site. This humanitarian of shit, unfortunately, spoils what could rally been a immense tube rank after me. It should not be on the viewer's objective to of prohibited or potentially derogatory content. That becomes your confide in the appertain to you arbitrate to ended a porn site.

Cox told WFAA-TV he can't believe the attention the photo has garnered.
"In this line of work, people do it a lot," he said.
Homeowner Andrea Adams snapped the photo and said she is glad he showed up to help her when he did. She told WFAA the photo proves he goes above -- or in this case, below -- and beyond when he's on the job.
She said, "I'm real proud of him."

Sources: No one manned compactor controls the day of fatality
On Tuesday morning, New London Mayor Daryl Finizio posted an announcement on his official Facebook page that the city's transfer station, which has been closed since a city resident was killed in a compactor accident Jan. 30, would reopen today.
Floyd Smeeton, a much-respected city resident, a widower who lived for many years on Borodell Place, was killed after apparently falling into the transfer station compactor hopper while unloading trash.
Several people familiar with the incident told me recently that the control room at the compactor, which has glass windows overlooking the machine, was not manned at the time of the accident.
People who first saw the fallen Smeeton in harm's way, after finding no one in the control room to stop the machine, ran some distance to a nearby transfer station office to get help, according to people familiar with what happened.
By the time transfer station employees arrived back at the compactor controls, to turn off the trash-crushing machine, it was too late, the sources say.
Residents who use the transfer station regularly also have said it was not uncommon in the past to find the trash compactor running unattended, the access gates left open.
So when I reached the mayor Tuesday, after his transfer station reopening announcement was posted, I expected him to be able to report what changes in equipment or protocol have been made to make it safe.
Incredibly, the mayor said he didn't know.
He said he only knows that state investigators and the city's public works department have decided it is OK to reopen.
Wasn't he even a little curious, I asked, to know what has changed in almost two weeks, since a city resident was killed after falling in the machine, to make the area safe?
Apparently not.
Finizio told me two investigations are underway, one by the agency that provides municipal liability insurance coverage, and another by the state Labor Department, which investigates accidents at municipal work sites.
A third investigation, by the city's police department, has concluded there was no foul play in Smeeton's death, the mayor said.
But what about criminal negligence, which can be defined as allowing avoidable dangers to manifest?
The mayor emphasized that he awaits the outcome of the outside investigations and said he has ordered everyone who works for the city to cooperate with them.
But he said he knows of no investigations by the city itself to find out what went wrong.
It is remarkable to me to think that someone dies on your watch and you don't make any effort to independently get to the bottom of what happened and find out if someone who works for the city might bear some responsibility, whether changes need to be made.
Even though the Labor Department is investigating, a probe that could take up to a month, according to a department spokesman, there is certainly nothing to prevent the mayor from asking his own questions.
I know he's busy. But this is important. Lawsuits are certainly coming.
I also spoke Wednesday to the director of the agency that insures New London and other Connecticut municipalities. He said they are indeed reviewing the accident the way any insurance company would look into a claim, but he said they are certainly not planning to make conclusions or recommendations about the way the transfer station is run.
That's the mayor's responsibility - one he seems to be ducking.
I thought Public Works Director Tim Hanser would know what happened to cause Floyd Smeeton's death, but he said he, too, is awaiting the results of the state investigation.
He said he doesn't know whether anyone was in the compactor control room when Smeeton died, or whether protocol calls for someone to be manning the controls.
More incredible, he said he is not sure if anyone will be at the controls today when the station reopens. He said he has been busy the last few days and the transfer station supervisor has been handling those details.
The only changes he knows of, Hanser said, is that Jersey barriers have been erected so that station employees, not the public, will load the compactor.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the public works director, like the mayor, doesn't know what happened to Floyd Smeeton and has not made any effort to find out.
This is the person responsible for a simple heating system leak that has remarkably filled City Hall with steam for the winter.

Vinos de Espana Reviews Toro Wines
Tue 18 Jan 2005
The reknowned Spanish wine magazine Vinos de Espana recently reviewed Toro wines, stating that over the past three years, the wines of the DO have significantly changed and now offer a good alternative to wines from Rioja and Ribera del Duero (a neighbouring region). Previously the high alcoholic content of Toro wines meant that they were not as popular as other wines, but new winemaking methods and styles have shown that the Tinta de Toro grape (Tempranillo) can produce elegant and sophisticated wines.
Several of the Bodegas Fariña wines were rated highly by the magazine, with the following results:
Gran Colegiata Crianza Roble Frances 1999
Gran Colegiata Campus 2000
Gran Colegiata Reserva 1996

Each month, City Parks Alliance recognizes a "Frontline Park" to promote and highlight inspiring examples of urban park excellence, innovation, and stewardship across the country. The program also seeks to highlight examples of the challenges facing our cities' parks as a result of shrinking municipal budgets, land use pressures, and urban neighborhood decay.
With its approximate 1,300-acre master plan, the Orange County Great Park is the centerpiece of the redevelopment of the publicly-owned portion of the 4,700-acre former Marine Corps Air Station El Toro. After the military base was decommissioned in 1999, several proposals to redevelop the land were put forward, including an international airport and a new housing development. In 2002, Orange County voters approved the Great Park project. The goal of the Great Park is to bring a world-class metropolitan park to Orange County, with a wide range of cultural, social, recreational and educational amenities. Currently, more than 230 acres of the Great Park are activated or under construction.
Hundreds of thousands of visitors from all over Southern California enjoy the Great Park's array of recreational and educational opportunities and participate in shared experiences, including panoramic views from the iconic Great Park Balloon that rises 400 feet in the air. Other popular Great Park features include the Great Park Carousel, Farm + Food Lab, Kids Rock Playground, Walkable Historical Timeline, Palm Court Arts Complex, North Lawn recreation area, 105-acre Great Park Farm and historic Hangar 244. The Great Park delivers innovative programming that activates all of these features, including free sports clinics, gardening workshops, a weekly Farmers Market, art exhibitions in the Great Park Gallery and an Artists-in-Residence program, as well as other community events. Total attendance and ridership for 2012 will exceed 750,000.
The Great Park's success with events and programming helped it earn the opportunity to host the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon 2013. This award-winning competition challenges collegiate teams to design, build, and operate solar-powered houses that are cost-effective, energy-efficient, and attractive. Hundreds of thousands are expected to gather for the event October 3-13, 2013 at the Great Park, the first time the event has ever been held outside of Washington D.C. The Solar Decathlon 2013 will be the centerpiece of the XPO, a world's fair of clean, renewable and efficient energy that the Great Park team is developing as a complement to Solar Decathlon 2013.

The "Frontline Parks" program is made possible with generous support from DuMor, Inc. and PlayCore.

He's a great-grandfather now with a quiet life in a small town bordering the Irish countryside near Dublin. He enjoys cooking, painting and, every once in a while, catching up with longtime friends like former bandmate Mick Fleetwood.
Yes, that Mick Fleetwood, from the celebrated rock band Fleetwood Mac. And the great-grandfather with the quiet life in the Emerald Isle is Jeremy Spencer, a founding member of the group who left one of music's most successful bands right before it climbed to the top of the rock 'n' roll wall of fame.
More than 40 years after walking away from the band, the slide guitarist is ready to tour the States again — not with his original bandmates, however, since Spencer said that's an unlikely reunion — but on his own in support of two recent solo albums. The first stop of a 30-show tour is in Long Beach at Fingerprints record store Wednesday.
The tour then moves to Largo at the Coronet in Los Angeles on Thursday, followed by a stop in San Diego at Lestat's Coffee House on Friday before returning to L.A. on Saturday with a show at the Westwood Music Center.
"How do I feel about touring again? Scared. It just sort of feels daunting," said the 65-year-old during a phone interview from his home in Ashbourne, Ireland, where he's lived with his wife for nearly two years.
"I'm very happy to be staying here working in my little home studio creating instead of facing the big bad world, but I feel I need to do this and it's good for me and a lot of people want me to. And my wife tells me it's good for me," he said.
The bluesman will perform songs from his guitar-driven blues and roots-oriented 2012 release "Bend in the Road," and the upcoming "Coventry Blue," which is due for release March 1, as well as a few songs from his days with Fleetwood Mac, when the band was a traditional blues-oriented group led by guitarist Peter Green with Fleetwood on drums and bassist John McVie.
"The new material has not been exposed that much, that's probably one of the reasons why I have a little trepidation about it. But we just want to give a good show and you're not going to get Fleetwood Mac, although I may do some of what I did when I was involved with it," he said.
Spencer's show is yet another big get for Fingerprints, which has hosted small concerts by big bands such as Foo Fighters and rock legends such as the late Lou Reed.
"As I kid, I grew up listening to Fleetwood Mac, so this is a pretty amazing thing," said Rand Foster, owner of Fingerprints. "We're catching the front end of the tour so a lot of people don't know what to expect. We may end up with a small intimate crowd, but a good crowd, so this may set the excitement for this tour."
The price of admission for the show is the purchase of "Coventry Blue."
Spencer, who is known for emulating the raw style of the influential slide guitarist Elmore James, joined Fleetwood Mac in 1967 and with his powerful voice and showmanship was a good balance for Green's more subdued style. Spencer left the band abruptly in 1971 after recording five albums with the group.
Following Spencer and Green's departure, the band took on a more pop sound and in 1977 released the "Rumours" album, which went on to sell 40 million copies. The current Fleetwood Mac lineup consists of Fleetwood, McVie, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, who joined the band in 1975. In 1998, Spencer was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame along with other Mac members.
Since his departure from the band, Spencer has been relatively quiet and it wasn't until 2005 that he recorded an album, "Precious Little." While he has performed at shows and festivals in Europe and Latin America, he has only performed a couple of times in the U.S.
The new tour and albums came largely at the urging of American filmmaker and fan Sam Epstein.
"So many people are so affected by what this band did in those short four years with Spencer," Epstein said. "And he's become so prolific now. He's doing a wide variety of stuff, stuff you may not expect."
Epstein first connected with Spencer a few years ago when he was working on a documentary about the blues. When contacted for the documentary, Spencer sent Epstein some new songs he had been recording. Epstein loved the music and, after much prodding, convinced Spencer to release the 32 songs that would be split into "Bend in the Road" and "Coventry Blue."
The old rocker turned to modern means with an online Kickstarter campaign to raise $10,000 for initial tour expenses. As of late last week, about $6,600 had been raised. Spencer is also offering some incentives for donors, including an autographed drawing he did of the original Fleetwood Mac members for those who pledge $200 or more and dinner with Spencer and the band for those who pledge $1,500 or more. Those who pay $2,000 will get a private show.
"It's a major tour on a DIY budget," Epstein said.
Spencer says he has grown as a guitarist since his days with Fleetwood Mac. While he was a bit of a wild man onstage back then, he's more subdued now, but the blues still bleed freely from his guitar.
"I'm not going to kick some serious ass, I don't feel like I want to kick ass," Spencer said. "For me, the blues is warm. It's like honey, and that's what I want to bring, that flavor. And I feel the blues when I play it more than ever."
UPDATE: On Monday, Spencer's publicist announced his tour has been canceled due to health issues. Learn more here.

IRVINE — Katie Ledecky said she is the one who enjoys learning the finer points of swimming the sprint freestyle events from Missy Franklin.
But in the women's 200-meter freestyle final Thursday night at the U.S. national championships, it was Ledecky who taught Franklin a lesson in the William Woollett Jr. Aquatics Center pool.
Ledecky used a strong surge in the final 50 meters to not only hold off Franklin, the defending champion, but clock the second-fastest time in the world this year of 1 minute, 55.16 seconds to capture her first national title in the event and sixth overall.
Both teenagers had already qualified Wednesday to compete Aug. 21-25 on the U.S. team at the Pan Pacific Championships in Australia.
"You never know with Missy. You can never count her out," said Ledecky, who added to her victory Wednesday in the 800 free.
"I was thinking how many times I've really raced her and it's really just a handful, so it's an honor to be in a final with her. It's always a lot of fun and it's great racing. It feels really good to win and I can't wait to be on the (800 free relay) with her."
Franklin, who clocked 1:56.40 in the 200 free, had little difficult regrouping 75 minutes later to win the 200 backstroke in 2:08.38, her third consecutive title in the event and fourth overall.
"It's so special watching Katie swim the 1,500 and 800, I think it's a treat for everyone," Franklin said. "Racing her in the 200 is great. It definitely makes me better. You can't be surprised by Katie. With her swim (Thursday) morning, I knew she was going to be 1:55 or better, so that's only going to push me to be faster.
"I'm just happy I had the mental strength to be able to swim four 200s in a day and to be able to do this 200 free-200 back double. I definitely want my times to be faster, but it gives me a lot of confidence going forward."
Franklin's primary challenger in the 200 backstroke, former national champion Elizabeth Beisel, slipped off the blocks and never recovered, finishing sixth in 2:12.37. She still has an opportunity to make the U.S. team in the 200 and 400 individual medley events.
"My heart goes out to her," Franklin said. "When I looked up after the first 50 and she wasn't there, I knew that's not like Beisel."
Tyler Clary, the Olympic champion in the 200 backstroke, used a big surge in the final 50 meters to get past Cal's Ryan Murphy, the reigning NCAA champion, and former Florida star Ryan Lochte — who led through 150 meters — to win in 1:54.73.
"That's the best that race has felt for me since the Olympics," Clary said. "My skills in that race are better now than at any point of my career, including London. To be able to bring it home like that without crumbling shows that."
Lochte, who dropped the 200 free to focus on the 200 backstroke, took third in 1:56.47, behind Murphy (1:55.99).
"That was probably the stupidest way you could swim a 200 back," Lochte said. "I went for it and I paid the price. But it's in the past, I'll learn from it and be better (at Pan Pacs). I just have to forget about it and move forward."
Matt McLean won the men's 200 free title in 1:46.93, Kevin Cordes captured the 200 breaststroke crown in 2:09.48 and Matt Grevers prevailed in the 50 butterfly in 23.50.
Micah Lawrence won the women's 200 breaststroke in 2:23.05, with Kendyl Stewart capturing the 50 butterfly in 25.99.

It's no secret that us crafters love making our own holiday decor, ornaments and gifts! What we don't like is a craft that costs us a lot of money and takes a lot of time to make! Ugh. No thank you! I
want need my precious time for baking cookies, watching cheesy Hallmark movies and buying presents! Here is a VERY easy and inexpensive project that I whipped up this last week:
A Santa Silhouette!
Materials that you will need:
construction paper (color of your choice)
frame - with backboard
background paper (I choose brown postal paper)
Scissors and/or exacto knife
Begin by measuring the backboard of your frame and cutting your background paper to size. Glue it down and let dry.
Next, find an image on the Internet by googling "Santa Silhouette" and select a Santa that you like. Print it off from your computer. I chose this copyright free image.
This part is a little tricky, but I know how crafty and talented you all are and I have faith that you can do it! You can either cut out your printed image and trace around it onto your paper, OR if you are like me and needed a larger image to fit into your frame, I had to free hand it! Which was fine, because I wanted to personalize it by adding more detail to his hair, hat trim and pom-pom.
Hint: Trace or draw your image on the reverse side of your paper. That way you can flip your image over when you are done and you won't see pencil and eraser marks.
Next, start to cut out your image using your scissors or if you have hard to reach areas, you will need an exacto knife.
Position your silhouette onto your background paper and glue down.
FYI: I painted my frame black. Burgundy isn't my thing!
Easy peasy, right!
Cost of materials:
Postal paper - $Free (I had it left over from this craft)
Construction paper - $1.50 at Michael's by using a coupon from here. Just click on the "craft coupon" button on the top of the page
Frame: thrifted for $1.00
Frame: thrifted for $1.00
Total cost: $2.50
Time to make it: 45 minutes
Loved your visit! Until next time...

As policy proposals for the next farm bill are floated, a frequent topic of discussion is crop insurance.
Looking to pinch pennies in a tight economy and still provide farmers with a needed backstop, several prominent farm-state politicians have recently suggested all manner of crop insurance changes — some calling for overhauls, others for minor changes.
In response, the crop insurance industry has warned against major tinkering. In late May, Southeast Farm Press spoke with Mid-South-based insurance agents — William Cole of Batesville, Miss., and Kirk Erickson of Yazoo City, Miss., — and Tom Sell, a crop insurance lobbyist and business partner with former Texas Rep. Larry Combest. Sell works with the Crop Insurance Professionals Association (CIPA), of which Cole and Erickson are members. Among their comments:
On the 2008 farm bill's treatment of crop insurance…
Sell: "In the 2008 farm bill, crop insurance kind of became the bank. The budget is a major constraint on agriculture policy. Crop insurance ended up getting about a 12 percent cut in what's called the A&O (administrative operating expenses). There were other cuts within the programs — like raising CAT (catastrophic insurance) fees.
"In all, about $6.5 billion (over 10 years) was cut and that helped make the farm bill go." Those cuts to crop insurance "helped pay for programs like ACRE and SURE. And a lot of farm bill money goes to the nutrition title and the conservation title.
"So, that's the first thing to know about crop insurance: There was a 12 percent cut to the A&O. Since the farm bill was written, general expenses in crop insurance have come down by about 35 percent — the combined effect of the 12 percent cut plus market moderation.
"SURE is supposedly a disaster program that would solve all problems. But it's extraordinarily complicated. Just now, the FSA is trying to get out payments for the 2008 crop year. At the same time, crop insurance has already paid out over $121 million in claims for 2009 in Mississippi alone."
On current coverage buy-ups/purchases by farmers and the importance of producing pristine documents for SURE…
Cole: "It's often lost in the farm bill debate that we've got guys taking crop insurance levels that are among the highest we've seen. Growers are getting (coverage) who haven't even had a CAT policy before.
"As agents, we've done a good job putting the risk management tools before the growers. They're taking those tools and covering themselves.
"The SURE program calculations are going on right now. We're seeing extremely punitive penalties for not reporting information that matches up with FSA.
"For example, we have a farmer in Tennessee who stands to get a $200,000 SURE payment. But he'll be denied the entire payment because he missed a 90-acre field on his 2008 acreage report. There's no way to go back and correct that two years later.
"We won't have any farmers in this area that elect to take the ACRE program. That's because they'd have to give up a percentage of their direct payment money."
Kirk: Regarding ACRE, "there are a couple of things that get in our way here. We grow multiple crops — cotton, rice, corn and beans — while in Kansas, where ACRE may work, they grow wheat.
"The SURE program has already been a challenge for Mid-South growers. And that's before you even consider they don't get a payment due to the lag year. They run into obstacles with FSA data not matching up exactly with their operations."
More on crop insurance participation and buy-ups…
Cole: "I've got higher levels of participation and buy-up coverage than we've ever had.
"That's especially true with rice growers. We used to never see rice with anything but a CAT policy. But with the additional subsidy on enterprise units that's exploded in the last few years."
On Congress' attempt to "replicate" crop insurance…
Sell: "I've dealt in Washington, D.C., for a long time and seen a lot of legislation. I love the FSA and FSA programs and will defend them.
"But I think what happened in the 2008 farm bill is they were trying to replicate what crop insurance does. So, with ACRE they were trying to replicate what was going on with revenue policies on crop insurance. That was an imperfect solution because FSA doesn't have the manpower.
"SURE, in the same way, was an attempt to build on top of crop insurance. But with crop insurance there's a great infrastructure of companies that are competitive and business-minded. And they know, for the sake of their businesses, they've got to get things out the door. It's a very different mindset.
"With SURE, FSA — which didn't have the needed manpower and computing power — tried to train local staff on very intricate details of how certain programs would interrelate with crop insurance and the other farm programs. It all kind of gelled into a big mess and it still is.
"I've been led to the conclusion, particularly as the next farm bill debate begins, that we should let crop insurance do what it's good at. Then, simplify some of the farm programs and head for some of the systemic risk rather than try and recreate the wheel."
Cole: "There's no competition here. Agents are really working with FSA trying to help them work through anything we can to make the data match up. It's been a team effort trying to get this to work."
Minnesota Rep. Collin Peterson, chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, says he wants crop insurance to cover all crops. One way he suggested doing it was to eliminate CAT coverage and the Non-Insured Crop Assistance Program and have a county-level trigger. Where do you stand on those ideas?
Cole: "I think it would completely devastate our Southern farmers. The different crops and areas we have — low-lying ground to higher ground — you'll have different yields for different crops. Most likely, you'd end up right at the threshold where you lose money, but won't ever get a crop insurance claim.
"Whatever comes out, we've got to keep something that is either crop-based or unit-based. This 'whole farm' idea would be pretty devastating to this area."
Kirk: "I agree. The 'whole farm' unit would drag in all your crops. You'd have to sustain a loss on all crops to get a payment.
"Well, in the Midwest, they might have only two crops: corn and beans. We have four to six on farms, here."
Cole: "You could have a bumper rice crop and a horrible cotton or soybean crop and still not have a claim."
Any good that could come out of a county-level trigger?
Sell: "Well, it wouldn't work as well for a big county as it would for a small county. There are all kinds of unfairness there.
"Ronnie Holt, CIPA chairman (who testified at the recent farm bill hearing in Lubbock, Texas, said it really well: Anytime you deal with a county average, half of the people will be below the average and half will be atop it. If you're just triggering payments based on what the county did, that means half could be underpaid and half overpaid.
"Crop insurance has had county-level programs like GRIP. Basically, it says if a county's production and revenue is down by 10 percent, you get paid. If you're really wanting to hedge risk on the farm, that probably isn't the best way. It's more of a gamble.
"It's one thing to do that with a private crop insurance contract where the producer is paying. If he wants to gamble that way, fine. But when you're talking about doing that in the farm program, you know from the outset that half the county will be overpaid and half underpaid. That puts it in a different perspective."
On banker preferences…
Cole: "Another point is the bankers specifically want to know what a farmer's coverage is for a crop, down to the acre, before he loans $1 million or $1.5 million. When you say, 'well, if the county hits a certain threshold,' that doesn't provide the banker any assurance the farmer can repay the crop loan.
"And given the current economy, it's as difficult as I can ever remember to get a crop loan."
Kirk: "The 2009 crop went south quickly. After last year, bankers here really understand crop insurance. They're staunch supporters of crop insurance — and will continue to be — after the 2009 season.
"Maybe a GRIP policy would have paid off, maybe not. But the bankers want to deal with certainties and guarantees and not possibilities."
Typical questions you're getting from farmers?
Cole: "They want to know what their coverage will be in a particular county, what their premium will be, and what is required in maintaining and upkeep of the policy. Of course, with higher levels of coverage, it requires a lot more attention to detail with getting yields and acreage accurate.
"The SURE program adds another element. We help them match data with the FSA's."
Kirk: "Their questions are predicated on what the bankers are requiring for loans. The bankers want to make sure that if something crazy happens again — a recurrence of 2009 — they'll be protected."
Things you want to see happen in the next farm bill?
Sell: "Fundamentally, first do no harm to crop insurance. It's the only tailored risk-protection tool that farmers have. It doesn't come encumbered with all the things traditional farm programs have — payment limitations, etc.
"Second, make an effort to bolster crop insurance while taking care of some of the problems. That would allow more farmers to have greater access to higher levels of coverage.
"In the Midwest the great bulk of farmers buy 75 percent to 85 percent revenue products for their farms. That's a great level of risk protection. Why can't that option be available to farmers in all areas of the country?
"Also, there are things like APH (actual production history) that determines how much a producer can insure. What does he expect to produce? There are some things that need to be done (with that).
"Lastly, CIPA has been engaged in trying to improve some of the policies — for rice, particularly. Even with what (Cole) has seen in buy-ups in the last couple of years, rice still lags way behind other major field crops like corn, beans, cotton and wheat. CIPA has tried to improve policies for rice growers.
"We've always had a farm program and that needs to continue whether it takes the form of fixed payments or counter-cyclical programs of some type. We need that but let's not try to get too fancy and harm crop insurance in an effort to shove the two together."
Cole: "Since the major overhaul of 2000, things have been working. No major tinkering needs to be done. Some minor tweaks would improve the program but we definitely don't need to rework the whole program."

The Philadelphia 76ers might have shocked most of the NBA this season with their amazing off-season moves and acquisitions. From picking up fan-favorite Xavier Silas to resigning Lavoy Allen there have been numerous changes in the Sixers camp. So much so, that there are only seven players returning from the original roster from before the summer. The biggest acquisition of the entire off-season is the trade involving center Andrew Bynum.
After coming from the Los Angeles Lakers in the league changing Dwight Howard trade that sent Andre Iguodala from the Sixers to the Nuggets, the Sixers found new hope in the eyes of the big guy.
Following being selected as the 10th overall pick in the 2005 NBA Draft, Bynum slowly after two seasons on the Lakers rose to his start of stardom. Bynum averaged 13.1 points and 10.2 rebounds per game in the 2007-2008 NBA regular season. After that taste of stardom and an All-Star appearance, Bynum continued on his roll of being one of the best offensive producers in the low post in the entire NBA.
Bynum averages 11.7 points, 7.8 rebounds and 1.6 blocks in 392 games played and 26 minutes seen in 7 seasons in the NBA. He's recorded 4,597 points, 3,076 rebounds and has 119 double-doubles, 37 of which were recorded last season.
Last season, Bynum averaged a double-double totaling in 18.7 points and 11.8 rebounds a game. As he's virtually cruising through the prime of his career, Bynum will be cemented as the main focus of offense for the Sixers. If all goes well, Bynum might go down as one of the greatest big men to ever play in a Sixers jersey.
As it stands right now, the Sixers can become one of the better teams in the Eastern Conference. But it can only happen with the help of a very big, 7-foot, 285 lb, 24 year-old, Andrew Bynum.

HARTSVILLE, S.C. – For the second time in a week, Junior Autumn Lau blocked the potential game tying shot at the buzzer to preserve the win for Coker. The Cobras defeated Queens University of Charlotte 63-59 on Tuesday night in Conference Carolinas action and improve to 17-10 on the year, and 13-8 in league play.
With the win, the Cobras clinched the fourth place position in the conference.
With just second's left, Coker had a slight 62-59 lead over the Royals. As Shatonya Hardy pulled up from deep for the Royals, she was met by the strong hand of Lau to reject the shot. Jasmine Evans would then secure the rebound and be fouled.
Coker struggled offensively in the first half, shooting only 32-percent (11-of-34) from the floor. With just 3:29 remaining in first half action, the Royals went on a 9-5 run to take a 33-29 lead into the break.
The Cobras came out firing in the second half hitting four consecutive trifectas to only trail 38-40 with 13:37 remaining. Both teams exchanged buckets into the final minutes of regulation; but Coker found themselves down 59-58.
Angie Lawrence then gave the Cobras a 60-59 lead when she drove into the paint and connected on a layup. On the opposite end of the floor Lawrence then snagged the defensive rebound to give Coker possession.
Out of a Coker timeout, the navy and yellow executed a perfect out-of-bounds play giving Evans an open lay-up to put the Cobras up 63-59. A strong defensive stand from Lau on the opposite end would not give the Royals the opportunity to tie the game.
Four different players scored in double figures for the Cobras. Lau, Evans, and Lawrence all had 14-point, while Hailey Yohn had 12. Amber Lau was one point shy of a double-double as she scored nine, and collected ten rebounds.
As a team the Cobras shot an impressive 10-for-21 (47-percent) from three-point range. Coker out-rebounded Queens 53-50, and earned 20-second chance points.
Coker plays their final game of the regular season on Friday (Mar. 1) against Belmont Abbey. The game is scheduled for a 5:30 p.m. start time.
Player of the Game: Angie Lawrence.

Actors : Brittany Amber, Vinny Castillo
Vinny Castillo is letting it all hang out and looking for action as he strokes his cock in a sex club. Waiting for someone to enter, Vinny strikes gold when Brittany Amber saunters in and begins playing with herself at the sight of Vinny's swollen cock. After exchanging glances, it becomes obvious they want each other, so Brittany creeps over to Vinny's chair and Vinny begins to grope and have his way with her. Brittany willingly drops down to her knees to slob of Vinny's cock, as Vinny pushes his dick deeper and deeper down her throat. Gagging on this meat pole only serves to get Brittany moist for Vinny's thrust, so they move over to a sofa and she mounts Vinny's cock and goes for a ride, pumping up and down as Vinny works his cock in and out. Ready to have his way with her, he flips her over and pushes her onto her hands and knees, where he plunges his cock deep inside of her and fucks her for the prize, exploding all over her back as she quivers from the pounding. Enjoy!

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
What is Fecal Occult Blood Testing?
Carolyn Vachani, MSN, RN, AOCN, OncoLink's Clinical Trials Coordinator, responds:
Fecal occult blood testing, also known as FOBT, is a test that can detect blood in the stool, even when it is not visible to the eye. This test involves placing a small amount of stool on a special card. A solution (or developer) is then applied to the card, and the card turns blue if blood is present. This test can be done at your doctor's office, or at home, and brought to the doctor's office for developing. Polyps or colon and rectal tumors may cause intermittent bleeding, and FOBT may be able to detect this bleeding, prompting further testing. It is important to note that some foods may cause the test to be positive. Ask your physician what foods to avoid when doing this test. The American Cancer Society recommends that this test be done every year, in conjunction with a sigmoidoscopy every 5 years.
