Swine In Minnesota
There are about 7.7 million hogs on over 10,000 farms in Minnesota. The approximately 600,000 breeding sows kept in Minnesota produce almost 10 million piglets every year. Minnesota is third in the nation for total number of pigs, behind Iowa and North Carolina. The swine industry contributes over $2.1 billion annually to the state's economy and employs about 22,500 people. Pork production is the number two red-meat industry in the United States, generating over $10 billion in sales each year.
Americans consume about 48 pounds of pork per person per year. The consumption of red meat has been slowly decreasing, but the consumption of pork has leveled off. With a population of about 105 million hogs, the United States ranks third in the world in swine production behind China and Russia. There are over 1 billion head of swine in the world today, with at least half in China.

Former astronaut and decorated military man Charles Bolden is reportedly atop the list to head NASA, an agency nearing four months without an administrator. NBC and the Wall Street Journal report that Bolden, 62, will head to the White House Monday to meet with President Barack Obama and will likely be nominated to lead the space agency.
Bolden, who retired from military service in 2003 as a major general in the U.S. Marine Corps, would be the first African-American to run NASA.
Bolden piloted or commanded four space shuttle missions between 1986 and 1994, including the 1990 Discovery mission that put the Hubble Space Telescope in orbit. Hubble is currently undergoing its final scheduled tune-up at the hands of astronauts on board space shuttle Atlantis.
As Inauguration Day loomed in January, Bolden's name first popped up. But other potential candidates arose as well, and there has been little public movement toward finding an administrator for the agency since Obama took office. Associate administrator Christopher Scolese has been acting as interim agency chief following the resignation of Michael Griffin, a Bush appointee, in January.

Thats it? You guys didn't even interview him and find out what direction he wants to take NASA? What his vision is? I have absolutely nothing against black people or Bolden in particular. I know somethng of him and I'm hard pressed to think of someone better qualified to run NASA but the only thing this article suggests that distinguishes this phenominal individual from the other canidates is that he's black. When are people going to wake up and realize that skin color does not qualify people for a job. Bolden has the ability and the experiance, thats why he should be the next director of NASA, not because he's black, brown, white, orange or green skinned.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisI agree with Telrunya . Bolden certainly sounds extremely well qualified. I don't know much about him, except for the fact that he commanded all those NASA missions. That kind of hands-on experience would be especially valuable in making decisions as more and more work is done in EVAs, like on the current Hubble refit mission. Of course, heading NASA demands administrative skills, too. But I doubt that someone could make major general in the Marines without plentiful administrative and executive skills. And Telrunya also makes a good point about skin color. Green would be great, but lacking any Vulcans, Charles Bolden would be the logical choice!
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisROLF They changed the article conciderably from when I made my first post. This is much better, but I would still want to see an interview with Bolden or atleast some comment on his being the prospective new head.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisNow maybe the new Administrator can begin using CFR-1275; Investigation of Research Misconduct filed by NASA in the federal register during the Bush administration. Since Griffin had very little incentive to use the law we can start with a new slate and move forward.

SOURCE United Spinal Association
NEW YORK, Sept. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- United Spinal Association will be assisted by Global Spectrum in raising funds at numerous nationwide events in recognition of National Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Month to improve the lives of people living with spinal cord injuries.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110413/MM82757LOGO)
Approximately 12,000 new spinal cord injuries occur in the U.S. each year. A majority of injuries occur from work-related accidents, sports injuries, motor vehicle accidents, falls, and stab or gunshot wounds.
The events include:
Booths will be set up at each event for attendees to learn more about people living with spinal cord injury and donate in support of spinal cord injury awareness.
"We thank Global Spectrum for its dedication to helping to raise awareness of spinal cord injuries and supporting our important nationwide mission," said Paul J. Tobin, United Spinal's president and CEO.
"We have been involved in Spinal Cord Injury Awareness at our headquarters in Philadelphia for many years and felt it was important to take this nationally," said Global Spectrum Chief Operating Officer John Page.
"Working closely within our community and doing work with nonprofit organizations is a top priority for our company. We are happy to be working so closely with the United Spinal on this worthy endeavor," added Page.
About United Spinal Association
United Spinal is a national 501(c) (3) nonprofit membership organization formed in 1946 by paralyzed veterans and is dedicated to improving the quality of life for all Americans with spinal cord injuries and disorders (SCI/D), including multiple sclerosis, spina bifida, ALS and post-polio. It played a significant role in writing the Americans with Disabilities Act, and made important contributions to the Fair Housing Amendments Act and the Air Carrier Access Act. Membership is free and is open to all individuals with SCI/D. United Spinal was instrumental in getting New York City to create sidewalk curb ramps and accessible public transportation that has been used as a model for many United States cities.

ARARAT - It took up to 60 people more than two hours to control a ferocious fire that ripped through the interior of the Ararat R&B Dry Cleaners in Vincent Street last Thursday night.
The fire took hold in the roof of the business just after 7pm with CFA crews from Ballarat and Stawell along with SES responding to the blaze.
Country Fire Authority District 16 Operations Manager, Chris Eagle said crews did an amazing job to prevent the fire from spreading to an adjoining printing business.
He said he believed up to 70 per cent of the business had been damaged in the fire.
"We had seven trucks and three SES crew on site, that was about 60 people working to control the fire," he said.
"The roof of the building was well involved when crews arrived, but they were able to contain the flames to just the dry cleaners."
Mr Eagle said the fire burnt through different parts of the roof and was fuelled by clothes that were hanging in the building.
He said firefighting crews had to make sure on site dry cleaning chemicals were secure as they worked to control the blaze.
"They had to be very careful because of the added chemical components and hanging clothes which gave oxygen to the fire and meant it burned and spread quickly."
The fire was brought under control shortly after 9pm with traffic diverted around the scene and streets in the central business district closed for some time.
Mr Eagle said crews worked to contain and extinguish the fire before ensuring the safety and structural integrity of the building for police to enter and begin their investigations.
At this stage the exact cause of the fire remains unknown with detectives from the Ararat Crime Investigation Unit now undertaking an investigation in to the fire.
CFA investigators concluded that the fire most likely originated in the centre of the building, but were unable to determine a cause. They believe there are no suspicious circumstances.

Editor's note: This article originally appeared in the March 1961 issue of Scientific American.
In the days when civilized men believed that the world was flat they had no reason to think about gravity. There was up and down. All material things tended naturally to move downward, or to fall, and no one thought to ask why. The notion of absolute up and down directions persisted into the Middle Ages, when it was still invoked to prove that the earth could not be round.
The first ray of light to pierce the mist of scholastic ideas about falling bodies issued from the work of Galileo Galilei. Since free fall was too fast to measure directly, Galileo decided to dilute the motion by studying bodies placed on an inclined plane. He argued—and at the time it was a novel argument—that since a ball resting on a horizontal surface does not move at all, and since a ball falling parallel to a vertical surface moves as fast as it would if the surface were not there, a ball on an inclined surface should roll with an intermediate speed depending on the angle of inclination. Letting balls roll down planes tilted at various angles, he observed their rates of travel and the distances covered in different time intervals, which he measured with a water clock. The experiments showed that at any angle the speed increases in direct proportion to time (counted from the moment of release) and that the distance covered increases in proportion to the square of the time. Galileo also observed that a massive iron ball and a much lighter wooden ball roll down side by side if released simultaneously from the same height on the same inclined plane.
As another way to dilute free fall he employed simple pendulums-weights suspended by thin strings. Here the steepness of the arc along which the weight travels is adjusted by changing the length of the string. Pendulums of the same length proved to have the same period of oscillation even when the weight was varied, a result in agreement with the outcome of the inclined-plane experiments. From all these observations Galileo was Ied to infer that in free fall all material bodies, light or heavy, also move in exactly the same way. This idea directly contradicted the opinion of the then prevailing Aristotelian school of philosophy, which held that heavier bodies fall faster than light ones. According to the celebrated legend, which may or may not be true, Galileo climbed the leaning tower of Pisa and dropped a light and a heavy ball, which hit tile ground Simultaneously, to the consternation of contemporary philosophers.
Newton's Law of Gravity
These studies laid the foundation for the science of mechanics. The main structure was erected by Isaac Newton, who was born the year Galileo died. With his laws of motion Newton introduced the notions of force and of inertial mass. When a force is applied to material bodies, it changes their speed or direction of motion or both. Their inertial mass opposes these changes. Newton stated that the rate of change of velocity (acceleration) of an object is directly proportional to the force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. Doubling the force doubles the acceleration; doubling the mass cuts the acceleration in half; if both force and mass are doubled, the acceleration is unchanged. In the light of this law Galileo's conclusion about free-falling bodies implies a fact that is usually taken for granted, but which is actually very curious; namely, the weight of a body (that is, the gravitational pull of the earth upon it) is strictly proportional to its inertial mass. Otherwise an iron and a wooden ball of the same size would not fall at the same rate. If the two objects have the same acceleration when they are dropped, the inertial mass opposing a change of motion in the iron ball must be greater than that in the wooden ball in exactly the same proportion that the downward force on the iron ball is greater. This proportionality is far from trivial; in fact, it holds true only for gravity and not for other familiar forces such as those of electricity and magnetism. Thus while an electron and a proton would fall with equal acceleration in a gravitational field, when these particles are placed in an electric field the electron is accelerated 1,836 times' faster.

Goodman Theatre names new Playwrights Unit members
The Goodman Theatre today named four Chicago playwrights to the fourth iteration of its Playwrights Unit residency program. The Gift Theatre ensemble member Andrew Hinderaker, Theater Oobleck cofounder Mickle Maher, Chicago Dramatists resident playwright Anne García-Romero and Laura Schellhardt, head of undergraduate playwriting at Northwestern University, join the fourth iteration of the Goodman's residency program.
The Goodman also named Erica Weiss, associate artistic director of Route 66 Theatre Company, the recipient of the 2013/2014 Michael Maggio Directing Fellowship. Weiss, recently a nominee for Best Next-Generation Stage Director in Time Out Chicago's Best Awards, will assist on a Goodman production to be named.
Martín Zimmerman's The Solid Sand Below, currently onstage in a workshop production as part of the Goodman's New Stages festival, was developed as a part of the Playwrights Unit residency of 2011/2012.
Taste test: Mercadito's poutine taco
Last winter's trendy Canadian comfort food poutine is showing up again this year just as frigid temperatures begin to set in. Not familiar with the dish? The popular bar snack is composed of deep-fried potatoes, rich meaty gravy and a handful of squeaky-fresh cheese curds. Quickly becoming a new cult favorite, the dish is still popping up on menus across the city, has its very own festival (disclaimer: we're the organizers of Poutine Fest), and is even appearing as a take-home freezer meal-in-a-bag from Trader Joe's.
During December, Mercadito is throwing their gravy boat into the ring with a rather unusual spin on poutine for their Tacos for Strength campaign, which donates 5 percent of sales to Share our Strength, an organization focused on ending childhood hunger. This month's unholy taco combination is the brainchild of Paul Tanguay of Tippling Bros., who has worked in many of Quebec's best restaurants. We headed in to find out what happens when you combine the cuisines of our country's neighbors to the North and South.
A corn tortilla is folded around a heap of braised beef and topped with bits of fried potatoes, cheese curds and serrano gravy. The ratio of traditional poutine is turned on its head, with the majority of the filling consisting of beef instead of fries. The tacos turned out to be surprisingly tasty and reproduced all the gooey flavor of poutine in an easy-to-eat taco package. We wouldn't have minded getting our hands a little dirty in exchange for more of the serrano gravy, as the dish lacked a decent level of heat and the rich, slow-cooked wholesomeness of gravy. The poutine tacos come four to an order at dinner ($16.50) and three during lunch ($12.50).
Panic! at the Disco, Portugul. The Man play Aragon for Q87.7's Twas the Night Before bash
Lovers of random punctuation and capitalization in band names got an early Xmas last night, as Q87.7FM threw its Twas the Night Before bash at Aragon. Emo-pop act Panic! at the Disco headlined, as Alaska-born rock act Portugal. The Man served up songs off its Danger Mouse produced seventh album, Evil Friends. Electronic-tinged, female-fronted pop acts MS MR and NONONO took the opening slots. This past summer, the local alternative rock radio station hosted its PIQNIQ with Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

Tracy Letts on making August: Osage County and how the film enhances his Pulitzer-winning play
The warring Westons of August: Osage County battled it out onscreen at a preview showing last night. During a post-screening Q&A, Tracy Letts was asked what he thought the film adaptation added to his Pulitzer-winning play, which premiered at the Steppenwolf Theatre in 2007.
The other members of the cast and crew present—actors Juliette Lewis, Margo Martindale, Julianne Nicholson and producer Steve Traxler—looked over at Letts as the playwright thought for a moment. "Osage County," Letts said. "You can see it [in the film]. In the play, we could only suggest what was beyond the walls of that house."
CH Distillery is making limoncello
CH Distillery has been making vodka, gin, rum and whiskey for awhile in its West Loop distillery/cocktail bar, and now it's added another spirit to its lineup—limoncello. The citrusy liqueur, made with lemons, vodka and sugar, is easily made at home, but CH has teamed up with Naples native Giuliana Vitagliano, who wanted to work with a distillery to distribute her family's recipe.
"We're really making it on a contract basis with Giuliana, but it's more of a joint venture," Tremaine Atkinson, who founded CH with Mark Lucas, tells us. "We're going to be making it indefinitely, as long as people want to keep buying it."
We sampled it at the distillery last week, and bottles are also available for purchase. We found the liqueur was creamier than we're used to, and there's a good reason for that—it's a milk-based limoncello.
"The milk makes it a little bit unusual," Atkinson says. "It gives it a lovely creaminess. But the real reason why it tastes so good is that we use fresh lemon peels, and that's where the lemon flavor comes from. There's the equivalent of four lemons in each bottle."
Atkinson says that CH bartenders have been making martinis with vodka and a splash of limoncello, but it's mostly being served straight. And with a sweetness that's refreshing but not cloying, it's a pretty ideal way to end an evening at CH.
"I refer to it as dessert in a glass," Atkinson says.

Oscar Isaac on his star-making role in the Coen brothers' new film Inside Llewyn Davis
Oscar Isaac's breakout role comes in a film all about trying to break out. In the latest from Joel and Ethan Coen, the darkly comedic Inside Llewyn Davis, the 33-year-old Isaac plays the title character, an aspiring singer-songwriter in the Greenwich Village folk scene in the bitter winter of 1961. Still reeling from the suicide of his musical partner, the itinerant Davis becomes a connoisseur of couches as he trudges through slushy streets from the usual gig at the now-legendary basement coffee shop Gaslight Café to a silly studio session (with Justin Timberlake and Adam Driver as fellow folkies) and headlong into a number of creative and personal setbacks. All the while, he's chasing that elusive beast, success, which arrives in the form of a slippery orange cat.
Back in October, when the Guatemalan-born actor was in town for the local premiere of Inside Llewyn Davis at the Chicago International Film Festival, I asked him about his own couch-surfing experiences. "I didn't have to do too much of that," said Isaac, his voice hoarse from a developing cold. The River North hotel where we met was just a half mile from the former location of the Gate of Horn, the famed folk venue at Chicago Avenue and Dearborn Street to which Isaac's character makes the westward trek for an impromptu audition with the talent manager Bud Grossman (a wonderfully cold-blooded F. Murray Abraham), who is based on the real-life Chicago music businessman Albert Grossman.
Isaac, who up to this point was perhaps best known for playing Carey Mulligan's ex-con hubby in Drive, admitted he has personally never known the struggles of his character. "I've been very fortunate that I went to Julliard, and as soon as I got out, I started working and have worked pretty consistently since. That has a lot to do with luck, and I think the Coens recognize that they've been very fortunate, too. In a way, Llewyn Davis is their acknowledgement that it all could've easily gone the other way."

Hancock Center plans thrilling new tourist experience the Tilt
Many visitors to the John Hancock Building (ourselves among them) bypass the Observatory and head to the 96th-floor Signature Lounge, which affords the same breathtaking views—80 miles into the distance, of four states—without the steep admission fee. Soon we might have a compelling reason to stop on 94, though. Crain's Chicago Business reported today that the owner of the Observatory—the Paris-based Montaparnasse Group 56, which purchased it in 2012 for $44.2 million—plans to create an extreme tourist experience called "the Tilt."
Two things we've gathered from the description: 1) It sounds like a nightmare for anyone who fears heights; 2) It makes the Ledge, the popular glass balcony extending from the Willis Tower Skydeck, sound like kiddie shit. "The Tilt" is an enclosed glass box protruding from the Observatory that would hold several thrill-seeking visitors at a time and, once they were strapped in, would tilt downward to offer a new persepective of the city.
Eataly is closed today to restock
Good job, everyone! We ate everything at Eataly last week, so the Italian megastore is closed today to restock and "preserve our standards of quality and service," DNAInfo.com reports. We paid our first (of many) visits to Eataly last week and it was packed, so it's not at all surprising to hear that more than 120,000 shoppers and 80,000 diners visited in the first week the store was open. Eataly will reopen tomorrow at 8am.
Analogue opens Wednesday
Analogue (2523 N Milwaukee Ave), a new cocktail bar from Violet Hour vets Robert Haynes and Henry Prendergast, opens on Wednesday at 6pm. We caught up with them about what we'll be drinking and to snap some pictures of the space. Here's what to expect.

With the Gulf coast bracing for 20 inches of rain, this could really be a one-two punch. Full story.

Image made August 13 and released September 1 by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration of then Tropical Storm Katia, which has since become a hurricane as seen from the International Space Station and photographed by one of the Expedition 28 crew. The storm, which is the second hurricane of the 2011 Atlantic hurricane season, is currently a category 1 storm but is expected to strengthen considerably but it is too early to determine what landfall the storm will make if any. Two Russian spacecraft, a Progress and a Soyuz, can be seen parked at the orbital outpost on the left side of the image.

Men's DI College Top 25, Dec. 8, 2010 |
Rankings - Men DI College |
Only one ranked team was in action over the weekend, signaling the halt of college play for the holiday break. Accordingly, this is the final DI ranking of 2010. That one ranked team was Texas State, who made the short drive to Austin for a Friday night game with the rival Longhorns. The game was extremely close, with Texas pulling out the 22-20 victory with a try near the 75th minute. The loss drops Texas State to 2-1, the same as league opponents Texas and Sam Houston. Sam Houston beat UT, State beat Sam Houston and UT beat State, so we'll let them all duke it out again in the spring to tell us who is better. The other game of consequence over the weekend was the Civil War, an annual battle between Oregon and Oregon State. The host Beavers dominated the contest, shutting out the Ducks 42-0, and move into our list at No. 25. 1. (1) Bowling Green 10-1 Idle Dropped out: |

text: "A Scandal in Bohemia" is the title of the first of a series of episodes of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes -- an excellent adaptation of a Sherlock Holmes mystery story, produced in Britain for Granada TV. In this episode, Jeremy Brett portrays the famed detective who, with the help of his companion Dr. Watson (David Burke), aids the King of Bohemia in recovering letters written to his mistress, the beautiful Irene Adler (Gayle Hunnicutt). This episode is unusual because Holmes shows considerable romantic interest in the intriguing Irene. This historically accurate series re-created the adventures of Conan Doyle's Victorian detective with impeccable faithfulness to the original story, sometimes to the extent of re-creating the illustrations which accompanied the original story publication in the Strand Magazine during the late 19th century. 13 of the Holmes short stories were adapted in this series, which was followed by two sequels, The Return of Sherlock Holmes and The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes, as well as several TV movie adaptations. ~ Linda Rasmussen, Rovi

Housing sector and let's not bad -- housing sector is seeing a slew of positive data this month housing starts are reaching their -- level in years.
Home prices for example rising for the sixth consecutive month.
And pending home sales are -- up five year high existing home sales are also ticking higher.
But get this -- -- housing analyst says there is one headwind it could be re all the housing recover.
Robert wedding hall as a director of equity research at RBC capital markets and if you've been watching it here.
On our show you've had information that is made -- a lot of money thank you for all of those valuable.
Kids are our investors have made make good profit out of them but you say that one thing that's happening in DC right now.
Could derail the progress we've made in housing and that would be what.
Well just for starters what -- said is absolutely correct -- -- -- early innings of a multiyear housing recovery.
That housing recovery could be derailed.
If the interest tax deduction associated with mortgages is reduced or -- OK today we had the White House proposal which was not only raising tax rates on the so called rich but also capping deductions and those would include.
Housing deductions on mortgage interest now.
If it's capped at 25000.
Or even 50000.
Will that be -- -- right now -- a dollar value on the mortgages added a million we think house mark can flex down to 750000.
Anything lower than that.
Would be catastrophic for the publicly traded homebuilders so the bigger risk is both.
This change to the tax code which makes it advantageous to be a homeowner.
And the fiscal cliff so these are two head winds which could definitely derail the recovery we still remain.
Adamant that the underlying trends are terrific we're just very concerned.
Out these new development what are the chances can you game -- that that would be one of -- Actions that gets cut or at least trend.
It's very tough to handicap that at this stage but.
And I just don't know if you can given how chaotic and unproductive it's been in DC mar how to ultimately lobbyists gathered in the lobbyists are gonna swing in on every level particularly -- -- the mortgage -- just jump in and start having a fit -- -- But we're we're probably getting a recovery in the housing industry right and that -- Chatzky.
Which is of such concern is that if we're gonna get the economy back on the right track and experienced growth -- gonna show leadership.
And housing will create jobs and that will spur consumption to really get need to protect the housing market at this very vulnerable stage in the early piece of the housing -- all right.
You are extraordinarily valuable to our viewers because a some -- -- because you have really all I think based all the picks that you made and housing have made a lot of money over the past you must now.
You have an offensive pick -- assuming that -- that the housing recovery is not.
Do you railing let's go for the offensive -- first which is USG corporation a big building materials.
Yes USD is the worldwide leader in wallboard production they've done a great job getting price in the current environment you see explosive earnings growth he got a top tier high quality management team.
New products roll outs of Home Depot gaining share better pricing we really like this story going to -- thirteen got to say -- see the spike right around the time but the hurricane US she was heavily box.
Right after hurricane sandy because precisely how this what does that sustain.
We think more important -- the volume story is their ability to achieve higher pricing levels -- -- about a 130 dollars per thousand board feet.
We could see that go to 145.
Next here.
It's probably the most inflationary single item in the building products universe big driver of earnings this is their core product like a lot of -- I talked a lot -- was no better pricing strategy one price for the entire year as opposed to different prices to different customer half.
Are right now you also have a defensive -- if you're less certain about the continued economic recovery.
You would pick Fortune Brands home and security FB HF -- water Fortune Brands is marketshare leader in plumbing.
Marketshare leader in the cabinet business.
Huge exposure to new residential construction.
If they get higher volume -- gonna drive profitability.
Yet an extremely high quality management team it's effectively -- best in class operator we like their dominant position in the categories where they operate look for continued share gains.
An extremely robust earnings growth they'll -- eighty cents this year that could be a dollar ten dollar 25 next year lot of up.
Side and by the way they traded about thirty dollars into the day thirty youth you have a target of 35 -- -- good pop about 15% by the end of next year we're looking for a 15% move in this name he's been right before folks Robert -- hall of RBC.

An all-in-one, single- and dual-coil guitar pickup with separate preamps and a repositioned single-coil.
This humbucker pickup is the same as EMG's 89X but the coils are respositioned so that the single-coil side is nearer the neck to capture that sweet spot. Featuring two guitar pickups in one, the EMG 89XR humbucker is loaded with Alnico V magnets and has separate preamps, each providing custom outputs for both dual-coil and single-coil modes. In dual-coil mode the sound is rich, warm, and powerful, but still very clear and is similar to EMG's 85 model. In single-coil mode (which is accessed through the included push pull pot), the sound is traditional Strat single-coil tone: bright, airy, chimey, and similar to EMG's SA guitar pickup. In either mode, the clean sound is gorgeously pristine and brings a lot of presence. Used equally in bridge and neck positions, whether you are playing hard rock or smooth jazz, you can get it all with this beautifully balanced and versatile EMG 89XR pickup.
The EMG 89XR humbucker and others pickups from the X-series provide increased headroom, giving the voicing an organic and open tone while still maintaining the clarity and response that EMGs are renowned for. The EMG 89XR pickups are best described as bridging the gap between passive and active tone.
The EMG 89XR humbucker pickup package includes: EMG's exclusive Solderless Install System, a split shaft volume/tone control set, an output jack, a battery clip set, plus screws and springs.
Hit that sweet spot on the neck with the option to switch from dual to single-coil when you order the EMG 89XR today.

WEST LAFAYETTE – They lined up nearly everybody who was ever anybody in Purdue basketball history, give or take a Rick Mount and a Big Dog, and let them hold court again.
Some were in shape. Some weren't. Some had aged well, even as it's hard to believe Troy Lewis is 46. Some put on a couple pounds.
Yet for an afternoon, they were Boilers up again, spurred on by a crowd of more than 6,000 cheering in sweltering, where's-the-air-conditioning Mackey Arena. For those who bleed black-and-gold, it was nothing but a pure treat.
Lewis drained long-range jumpers. Todd Mitchell muscled his way inside. Brian Cardinal played like Brian Cardinal.
And Gene Keady, the trademark comb-over long gone, soaked in a standing ovation at Purdue's first alumni game.
"It was great to play in Mackey again," Cardinal said. "It's fun to come back and see the fans, see the kids, and have a chance to play under Coach Keady one more time. …We had a great time playing and a great time socializing and horsing around over there on the bench."
The teams were divided into Keady's Team Black and current coach Matt Painter's Team Gold.
Keady's team won 73-70 when Lewis Jackson – who played after Keady retired – hit a three-pointer at the buzzer. But Keady's team was stacked pretty good from the start, with Lewis, Mitchell, Cardinal, Chris Kramer and Justin Jennings.
Painter's squad had fewer "legends," but held its own with some fine play from players such as Carson Cunningham, Brandon Brantley and David Teague.
"It was good to play with those guys who have been very successful and hung a lot of banners up before I played," Kramer said. "A lot of guys could still play. Brandon can still shoot it. Troy can play. Todd can play. It was a fun game and a heck of a finish."
Keady called timeout with less than seven seconds left to set up the final shot. He had Lewis, part of his legendary trio with Mitchell and Everette Stephens (who attended, but didn't play) and Cardinal, two prolific scorers.
But Jackson, the youngster of his team, got the call.
"It was a little flat ball screen for 'Lew-Jack,' " Cardinal said. "If he was open, he would shoot it. If not, he'd take it to the rim and lay it in. He was feeling it, feeling hot."
Cardinal, a free agent hoping to play one final season in the NBA, received one of the biggest cheers during introductions. But the crowd showed appreciation to everyone. (Fort Wayne had two alums at the event: B.J. Carretta, who played for Team Black, and Craig Riley, who did not play. Riley, incidentally, was Painter's roommate one season.)
"Coach Painter has really kept the former players connected with the program," Carretta said. "I'm in Chicago and I always go to the Northwestern game. They take care of you. It's a family."
If I were to measure the applause of the fans, their favorites were, in no particular order, Cardinal, Lewis, Mitchell, Kramer and Jackson. Also in the house, and cheered loudly in the postgame introductions, were 2012 grad Robbie Hummel and NBA players JaJuan Johnson and Carl Landry.
"You see the ovations (the fans) give certain people," Painter said. "They were guys that were better players, but also guys that played hard and laid it on the line. It was great to see the support from the fans. I think our guys really appreciated it."
Mitchell said his favorite moment was the standing ovation given to Keady.
There's something to be said for the continuity of Purdue's program, from Keady to Painter, who played for Keady.
Given all the negative stories in college sports, it was refreshing to see the family-type interaction between the former Purdue players and the fans. Autographs and conversations were part of the gig.
Cardinal has talked about working at Purdue, perhaps as a coach, after he finishes his NBA career. He hopes that's a year away, but he looked at home Saturday.
"The transformation of this whole place has been awesome," Cardinal said of the revamped Mackey Arena and adjoining facilities. "This is an exciting time for Purdue, the university and the men's basketball program. I'm excited to be a fan and we'll see where it goes."
It was a parade of memories at Purdue on Saturday. The good guys won, even the half of them that lost.

Welcome to The Journal Editorial Report I'm -- -- new Jersey's.
Chris Christie this week became the eighth Republican governor to support the expansion of his State's Medicaid program under president Obama's Affordable Care Act.
That decision.
Won't do much to mend fences with conservatives many of whom are still smarting.
From the governor's pre election embrace of the president in the wake of hurricane sandy and his subsequent criticism.
Of GOP leaders for their delay in bringing up pork field storm relief -- to the house floor.
Christie's name has been notably left off the invitation list that next month's conservative political action com.
Despite the governor 74%.
Approval rating in his very democratic.
State joining the panel this week.
Wall Street -- columnist and deputy editor Dan had anger.
Political diary editor Jason Riley and assistant editorial page editor James Freeman so.
Jason just a couple years ago Chris Christie was Republican hero going to be widely mentioned as a possible presidential nominee in the last.
Election so what's the issue here is that Christie has changed or.
The problem well Christie is running for reelection -- -- very blue state Obama carried New Jersey by.
At least seventeen points hit confuse things we know that -- -- margin at 2008 I mean so you have a Republican.
Running in a very blue state and doing what he needs to do to get election to get elected he cannot be Rick Perry.
In New Jersey and and so I think that's what you're seeing here com.
Now you know I'm not with -- a lot of positions gun control and -- global warming.
And and issues like that but.
Again you know this is similar to what -- not brown was doing guys such -- you gotta have weathered got -- -- -- -- to -- -- So the snub it's -- -- now does that reflect Christie's wrecked.
-- -- New Jersey are you you well it certainly is recent record and proceeds back music conservative gathering -- not an official Republican Party event if they want to invite people that they think are gonna work.
Carrying conservative message you are consistent with that they shouldn't but it bears no obligation invite invite people who were more on the senator booming laughter I think it's it's the recent trend where what what what would you single out to me -- of them the most disturbing thing about that the recent -- history is the Medicaid expansion because.
He made.
Reform of entitlements.
Really the centerpiece of his arguments in the state and then talked about it nationwide and really helped.
Building reform case and this this is not a massive expansion but it is an expansion and that's what.
I think you have to be disappointed if you're federal taxpayer and New Jersey taxpayer that he's now.
Expand into new stadium look it's free money from the -- at least for a -- they're gonna pay a 100% of this we need the money what do you what he gonna do when eight other governors there are doing it -- -- -- all -- federal taxpayers so this is money going out the door and and despite what he said this -- it does not if he does not take that money doesn't automatically go to new -- Connecticut that's right this is an entitlement program.
On the state level what he's doing -- while it.
Appears to be a good deal and he can explain that is long term it is building liabilities for the state and the history of entitlements is they get more expensive.
Mike Pence the Indiana governor calls -- -- -- Medicaid the classic case of the gift of the baby elephant and say here -- how cute.
-- when he grows up and -- to be an adult you're paying for the hey.
Yeah it's great to to bring up Mike Pence and the governor of Indiana recently elected governor of Indiana the reason we talk about Chris Christie is because two years ago.
He was talked about in the context of becoming a potential presidential candidate.
At that time Chris Christie was a strong figure in a really pretty weak Republican field the people who were up there debating in the primaries.
Next time around Chris Christie is going to be up against a very strong line up a lot of them will be -- -- back.
Governor Scott Walker of Milwaukee governor Jeb what Wisconsin governor Jeb former governor Jeb Bush of Florida Bobby Jindal of Louisiana of course Marco Rubio.
This is going to be a different group of people that Chris Christie will be competing against and he'll be competing.
As a governor from the liberal north east I think it's an uphill battle.
It is I still think that right now Republican should be taking a big tent.
Approach this as one of the most popular governors in the country Democrat or Republican.
He's forcing some people take another look at the Republican Party independents in particular.
This is not the time to be putting in place litmus tests about you know who the viable presidential material -- three ways.
You know we are years away from Ottawa you know what Jason he has never come to the -- -- conference in Washington he's been invited before he has never shown up so there's nothing new about what's going on this year other than they disinvited him.
But that -- the Christie record is mixed I mean he's got nine point 6% unemployment in the states one of the worst records in in in in the country did impose a tax cap.
No question about that on property taxes and he hasn't endorsed a tax -- -- Better than Bob McDonnell the Virginia Republican governor -- was much loved by conservative just did bat.
So I guess the question will be how much has the Christie record -- to be able to sell himself.
James two Republican primary voters in 2016.
That would you've got some nice reforms 2010 you mention the property tax cap 2011 -- got a good pension reform didn't get rid of the unfunded liabilities on pension and health care but made a big dent in them.
I think the problem he's gonna face going forward is it is a slow growth high unemployment.
Economy in New Jersey.
He can't fix it after about redistricting there it's basically did democratic bloc on the legislature right I'm worried that the Christie reform era may be may be over there let's hope not but he's gonna have a tough time getting any more reform through that legislature all right when we come back.

NCAA Football 09 Screenshots
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., – April 23, 2008 – Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) announced today that NCAA Football 09, scheduled for release in North America on July 15, will feature wide open gameplay, college atmosphere and online enhancements. This year's iteration of NCAA Football brings to life the fun and excitement of gameday Saturdays. In addition, former Boston College quarterback Matt Ryan will be the cover athlete for NCAA Football 09 on the PLAYSTATION3 computer entertainment system. This year, the packaging for each of the NCAA Football 09 console platforms will feature an exclusive cover athlete.
"NCAA Football 09 showcases everything that makes college football exciting and unique," said Executive Producer Jeremy Strauser. "From enhanced gameplay and presentation to our online Dynasty Mode offering - the only franchise mode online for EA SPORTS, we feel that this will be a standout product accurately reflecting the college football experience and also captures the true emotion of football on Saturdays."
College football has never before felt more wide open than in NCAA Football 09. Gamers will experience the excitement of making big plays on the field, as they will have the ability to directly control and influence the game through the all-new break away animation engine. With huge cut-back lanes, new tackling animations and wider blocking holes, NCAA Football 09 offers a host of offensive opportunities.
NCAA Football 09 also brings the atmosphere, pageantry and tradition of college football to life. Through the redesigned stadiums, which reflect even more detail of each school's individual playing field, to the dynamic sidelines filled with school colors, cheerleaders and mascots, players will feel the excitement of college gameday. Players can gain Home Field Advantage as the intensity of the home crowd rises and rattles the composure of opposing teams. All 120 Football Bowl Subdivision schools are represented in the game and players can even customize the in-game atmosphere with their own personal music collection.
Off the field, NCAA Football 09 features its most robust Dynasty Mode yet, inviting fans to create and manage a perennial powerhouse program from landing blue-chip recruits to winning championships on the field. For the first time ever, Dynasty goes online with up to 12 competitors to recruit head-to-head, customize schedules and play for up to 60 seasons.
Former college football standout Matt Ryan will join former Arkansas All-American Darren McFadden as a spokesman and cover athlete for NCAA Football 09. Ryan will be featured on the PLAYSTATION3 cover and as a four-year player, he finished his career at Boston College as the school's career leader in pass completions and was named the Atlantic Coast Conference's Offensive Player of the Year in 2007. In his senior season, he helped lead the Eagles to an 11-3 record and a victory over Michigan State in the Champs Sports Bowl. Ryan was awarded the 2008 Manning Award, which is given each year to the nation's top senior quarterback.

The rental car turned onto the sidewalk behind the registrar's office and rolled slowly down the brick path between a dining hall and the English department, a few steps from my office. "Beyond Time," an upbeat German dance song, played on the car's stereo. The driver, Mohammed Taheri-Azar, had just graduated from the University of North Carolina three months earlier, so he knew the campus well. Beyond the dining hall was a plaza known as the Pit, where students were hanging out at lunchtime on a warm winter day in early 2006. Taheri-Azar planned to kill as many of them as possible.
He brought no weapons except a knife, some pepper spray, and the four-wheel-drive sport utility vehicle he had rented in order to run people over without getting stuck on their bodies. When he reached the Pit, Taheri-Azar accelerated and swerved to hit people as they scattered out of his way. His fender clipped several students, and several more rolled over his hood and off the windshield. Taheri-Azar turned left at the end of the plaza, hit another couple of students in front of the library, and then sped off campus just beneath my office window.
Taheri-Azar drove down the hill that gave Chapel Hill its name, pulled over in a calm residential neighborhood, parked, and called 911 on his cell phone. "Sir, I just hit several people with a vehicle," he told the operator. "I don't have any weapons or anything on me; you can come arrest me now."
Why did you do this? the operator asked. "Really, it's to punish the government of the United States for their actions around the world." So you did this to punish the government? "Yes, sir." Following the operator's instructions, he placed his phone on the hood of the car and put his hands on his head as police officers arrived.
Before leaving his apartment that morning, Taheri-Azar left a letter on his bed explaining his actions more fully:
Due to the killing of believing men and women under the direction of the United States government, I have decided to take advantage of my presence on United States soil on Friday, March 3, 2006 to take the lives of as many Americans and American sympathizers as I can in order to punish the United States for their immoral actions around the world.
In the Qur'an, Allah states that the believing men and women have permission to murder anyone responsible for the killing of other believing men and women. I know that the Qur'an is a legitimate and authoritative holy scripture since it is completely validated by modern science and also mathematically encoded with the number 19 beyond human ability. After extensive contemplation and reflection, I have made the decision to exercise the right of violent retaliation that Allah has given me to the fullest extent to which I am capable at present.
I have chosen the particular location on the University campus as my target since I know there is a high likelihood that I will kill several people before being killed myself or jailed and sent to prison if Allah wills. Allah's commandments are never to be questioned and all of Allah's commandments must be obeyed.
Nine people suffered broken bones and other injuries that day. Fortunately, Taheri-Azar didn't kill anybody, though the toll could have been higher. Initially, Taheri-Azar had planned to join insurgents in Afghanistan or Iraq, but he was discouraged by visa restrictions on travel to those countries. Then he looked into joining the military and dropping a nuclear bomb on Washington, D.C., but he realized that his eyesight was too poor to qualify to be a military pilot. Turning closer to home, Taheri-Azar considered shooting people randomly at the university. His letters from prison indicate that he thought about targeting the dining hall where I often eat lunch.
In the weeks before his attack, Taheri-Azar test-fired a laser-sighted handgun at a nearby shooting range but was told that he couldn't buy it without a permit. Taheri-Azar could have purchased a rifle on the spot if he had completed some federal paperwork, but he had his heart set on a Glock pistol. Later, at his apartment, he started to fill out the permit application, but gave up when he found that he would need three friends to attest to his good moral character. "[T]he process of receiving a permit for a handgun in this city is highly restricted and out of my reach at the present," Taheri-Azar complained in the letter he left on his bed for the police. Months later, in prison, he rationalized his decision: "The gun may have malfunctioned and acquiring one would have attracted attention to me from the FBI in all likelihood, which could have foiled any attack plans." Taheri-Azar may be the only terrorist in the world ever deterred by gun-control laws.

While an income tax increase may be hard to sell to some people in the community in the lead-up to a federal election, it's the right choice for a sustainable National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).
From July 1 next year, the Medicare levy will increase by 0.5% to partly fund the NDIS, taking the Medicare levy to 2% and adding an extra $1 per day to the Medicare levy of an average worker on A$70,000.
But the move is a risk for the Gillard government because it gives the Coalition, if elected in September, the power to delay or veto the scheme.
Increasing income tax the right choice for a sustainable NDIS
Last night's budget contained an important step towards realising a National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), with $1bn allocated over the next four years. Of these funds, $342.5 million will pay for individualised care and support for 10,000 people in four yet-to-be-announced "launch sites" in 2013-14. The trial will grow to include 20,000 people by 2014-15.
The remainder of the funding will go towards the set-up costs of the NDIS over four years, including systems for data collection and analysis, local area coordinators, a new agency to oversee implementation and manage delivery, assessment of need and monitoring of outcomes and the effectiveness of the scheme.
The government's announcement will see people assisted by the scheme a year earlier than the timeline the Productivity Commission suggested in its 2011 report into disability care and support.
But there are some major shortfalls in last night's announcement.
AT THE moment there is no automatic right of access to disability support across the board in this country. If your child fell out of a tree tomorrow and sustained serious brain damage, what sort of help would you expect and hope for?
He or she would be entitled to care in a public hospital, but once discharged, you'd be largely on your own.
