So long as I beat you, I win.
Yesterday the CrossClash with CrossResults.com went live on the the CrossResults website. Keep track of your wins and losses record against your friends, which, CXResults has actually been doing this well for a long time now with the RacePredictor and Nemesis aspects of their site. We just wanted to take it one step further by bringing you the CrossClash, a way to enter a specific "nemesis" that you plan on beating and then track your results throughout the remainder of the season. Sure, the race happens at the front, with the guys who "win," but it also happens for 5th place, or 10th or even 34th. It may be more publicized near the front, but that does not mean it did not happen elsewhere.
My first CrossClash happened in high school and was more of a Cross-Country Running Clash than a straight up Cyclocross Clash. Each Tuesday night and Saturday morning we would find ourselves traversing the golf courses and baseball diamonds, the backyards of various schools and parks around Southwestern Wisconsin. No matter what the venue it was always the same 5 to 10 schools competing each week, as a result, you would end up seeing the same competitors week in and week out. The result of this was that every time we ran, or raced, against each other you would find yourself finishing in the same group of runners. Sure, there were a few really strong kids that quite literally ran off with the front of the race, but the rest of us were left to battle it out with each other.
Cory Ensrude was my guy. I think the first time we "clashed" was at The Fennimore High School Invitational, which was one of the larger Cross Country meets of the year. When it came down to the sprint (which was for something like 30th place) I came around the final corner shoulder to shoulder with Mr. Ensrude fully thinking that I could take him in the straight-away and so, put a little pressure there accordingly. Then something strange happened. He turned the screws right back on me and to my disdain started to edge ahead a bit. Well, you can see where this is going, or was, and we continued this back and forth at near breakneck speeds (at least I am sure it seemed that way to us) until we crossed the finish line and collapsed into respective heaps. As I leaned against the nearby building and promised myself I would not unload my breakfast, I noticed, out of the corner of my eye I could see Cory doing the same — sort of sprawled on the grass nearby. The interesting part was that he was grinning at me in that knowing way that boldly stated, "I got you this time, and I'm not going to back down the next." This was the start of what you might call a "friendly rivalry." Put another way Slate Olson here in the office likes to say "it is more fun to beat your friends than to beat your enemies." There is something deeply cryptic and Eastern hidden in there, but the sentiment is spot on. Because who wants to beat that nameless, faceless rider from some town that you have never heard of anyway?
The thing was that Cory and I became fantastic friends because of this bit of competition. Sure, it didn't happen right away, at first we (or I) were trying to outright beat each other. But, that strange combination of geography, common interest and natural selection had brought us together and not only instilled a competitive spirit in us but also a friendship that lasted beyond the racecourse.
CrossClash is the embodiment of this and we are hoping that it will spark some great rivalries and stories throughout the Cyclocross Courses wherever they may happen and wherever you may finish. Besides, we all know that each and every one of you have your own personal I need to beat THIS person each week we are just challenging you to say it out loud. Go to CrossResults.com and challenge another rider.
The whole program kicked off earlier this month at Interbike when two of the USA's premiere Cyclocross racers — our own Jeremy Powers and Cannondale prepared by Cyclocrossworld.com rider Tim Johnson went head to head in a little friendly jaunt around the Circulus. The Rapha-FOCUS t-shirts "Keep Cross and Clash on" are available now at the Rapha Cycle Club San Francisco (call them and speak with Emily) and anywhere that the Rapha-FOCUS team can be found. Check their SCHEDULE for more details.

Something like this fit the bill if you can't find what you want? http://www.tekheads.co.uk/s/product?product=600400
Eclipse have these CS grills: http://www.eclipsecomputers.com/product.aspx?code=CMS-LFG120-CS-R&af=50
Lol I see what you mean, there used to be lots of side window stuff. Now there is almost nothing! You could steal this grill from this cheapo psu: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/EZCool-Tornad...s_EH?hash=item2ea7bb2e11&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 Although the shape of the ends don't look to good.
Maplin had shit all! Cheers for the links, the EZcool fan grill would work pretty well, but no way am I paying 30 quid just to get a fan grill ha ha. Also that EZcool psu sells for like 50 quid on ebuyer! cheaky buggers. As always Eclipse computers main site won't load for me. .... I might just buy a sheet of shiny metal and try and do some awesome dremel work ...
How is Server 2008 student related? Do you even use any of that at college? Throw VB .net in the bin, it's useless in the real world of programming.
google Dreamspark They teach it on my course... so i may aswell have it. I wont use it at college, but i'll definitely use it in the future
B-) Anywhom! Need a new 775 cooler as I managed to buckle my freezer 7 pro! Currently looking at Scythe Ninja 2 ( but I'm not sure if this will fit in an antec 900 with side fan) or the Zalman CNPS9500A-LED Aero Flower this should fit+ it has a leds that match XD Any other reccomendations the Ninja 2 is my limit budget wise.
Ninja II's are awesome! I used to have one and it rocked. Silent cooling? yes please. Only spare cooler i have is a stock LGA775 one, and im keeping it incase the loop ever fails.
OCZ Vendetta2's are getting a lot lot cheaper. some can be bought for almost under or around £20 if you can find them - most you expect to pay is around £25. its not a bad cooler for the price but there are better ones out there. as for it fitting in the Antec 900. I have a Antec 902 & what i did was cut one of the corners off the fan i attached on the side panel to have it fit in with the cooler no problems at all - they dont even touch. I'l upload a pic in a sec to show you.
Ah cheers fella, just bought a OCZ vendetta 2 for 22 pounds including postage : ] Going to fit a hiperflow 120 mm led fan though MMM BLUE GLOW
heres a basic idea - all you need a Jigsaw blade or a Dremel with a cutting disk on. a bit of a rough job on my behalf -I dont have a dremel, or sandpaper - all i had was some broken off jigsaw blade that i picked up when I had some builders around building our extension. once i get into a stable job with constant stable income I will start to invest in tools
I'm getting a Dremel for my birthday , but until then mine will be a rough job too cheers fella reallyy helpful. Edit: woo! found 120mm fan grills nearly exact same as sunbeam ones http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Logisys-FG202...0?hash=item35a35fe97c&_trksid=p3286.m63.l1177 Pretty expensive because of the shippinh but I might be able to get multi purchase discount or something. no point buying until I get my dremel though
thats wat we use at uni except its pro version an it works very well, ill be using it to program a advanced reverb machine in my second year
lol - you have no idea - honestly!!! we use to have a polish family living 2 doors down & they use to have a BBQ at least 4 days a week. even when it was RAINING - there would be one of the standing over the BBQ holding a newspaper over his head to soak up the rain while he was cooking his chops. all weather is bbq weather!!
Now that's dedication right there! (although it is a given that if you do a BBQ in the UK it will most likely rain, even if there are no clouds in the sky when you start )
Necropost! Lets get this going again guys, who remembers those long romantic talks into the early morning?

By Paul Woolverton Staff writer
Republican former congressional staffer Richard Hudson of Concord unseated Democratic U.S. Rep. Larry Kissell of Biscoe in the race for North Carolina's 8th Congressional District.
As of 11 p.m., unofficial returns said Hudson led 53 percent to 45 percent.
"I'm very excited about the opportunity ahead," said Hudson, 41. "I'm incredibly humbled by so many people putting their trust in me. I'm just ready to go to work."
Kissell served two terms. "Things didn't work out as we had hoped," he said, "but as I told Richard earlier on the phone, he'll be representing some of the best people in the world. I'll be working with Richard to make sure we have a seamless transition so that our folks who need help will be ensured the world-class constituent service they deserve and have come to expect."
Hudson used to work for the man who Kissell beat in 2008: Rep. Robin Hayes.
The 8th District, which runs from Charlotte to Lumberton, has been a swing district since the 1990s, when Hayes took the seat after Democrat Bill Hefner retired in 1998.
Democratic state lawmakers in the early 2000s redrew the district to make it more friendly for Democratic candidates. In 2011, a new Republican majority in the legislature changed its boundaries to add Republican-favoring voters.

I purchased this for my little girls first birthday. She loves it but can't push the button just yet. I have to push the button and guide the ATV around and she just laughs and giggles. Its hard on Mommies back though. Hopefully she will learn soon how it work. It kinda goes a lil fast for the age group.

I made my purchase on line and had the product shipped to my home as a gift for my granddaughter. We were not home upon delivery but noticed the package was dented but wrapped it anyway. Our grsandaughter was very excited but after opening the gift the product was bent on one of the back wheels. I returned to Toys R Us but was quickly told they would not do anything about it. i was very upset because I felt like they took the money but showed no concern on my situation and told me to contact Power Wheels. I asked if they informed customers of such policy but they do not. I asked if they posted before purchase be aware thatg this item can't be returned but they do not. I took it that they in the Paducah KY store could care less and sent me on my way. I will be letting every one I know personally and our almost 4000 workers to reconsider making any puchases at Toys R Us in the future. I may return (which would be in my rights)to leaflet and inform incoming customers of my situation and let them know they should ask questions before making any purchases. I feel as they Toys R Us has no remorse for my situation and couyld care less if it gets rectified. I will never make another purchase there again and if I can convince others to stop shopping there I will.

Daughter loves this quad. Good quality at a great price. Simple setup and very easy to use. Highly recommend
Comment on this review
By H Suh
from Shreveport, LA
I bought this at Toys R Us five years ago for my daughter who is now seven. In the beginning, she didn't ride it much because she was too young, but this is the only toy she consistently uses from then until now, and it is still going strong. I only charge it when it dies, which is every couple of months. I wanted to rate it now, cause I absolutely LOVE this product!!!
Just the right speed for a 2 year old.

About Me Grandparent
It's fun to ride on the driveway but has just enough power to go in the grassy yard. Also has good battery life. Push button is great and easy to use.
Just right for the grandbabies!
By BuddAndLori
from Austin, TX
We purchased these four wheelers for the grandbabies and they were just right for them. The four wheelers only took a little time to assemble and run several hours on a fully charged battery. The vehicles run at a safe rate of speed and are able to handle different levels in the ground well.

Great fun toy for our baby!
By Angie
from Denver, CO
This toy was easy to assemble, charge and start using right away. Our granddaughter got on the atv and was operating it by herself within minutes! It's been a lot of fun, it's well built and should provide years of fun for more grandbabies to come!
Great to use inside and outside
By Genny
from Beaufort sc
About Me First Time Parent, Stay At Home Parent
My daugther is 17 months and she loved it on Xmas day! Its easy to put together and its half charged so the little ones can use right away for a bit. Only thing is that its not easy to turn the wheels left or right. And its not to good outside on the driveway but does work good on carpet. Other then that i like!! Great price!
So much fun!
By krystal, the single mom
from Essex, VT
About Me Stay At Home Parent
It is easy to set up right out of the box. The battery stays in place and it is hard to get the seat up which is a good thing for my daughter who likes the cubbie in the front. The cup holder in the front is also very convient. Because there is only one button it is very easy to use. Wish it would be a little easier to stear but it might losen up when it wears down a little bit.

Great toy for toddlers!
from Wichita, KS
I bought two Power Wheels Quads for my granddaughters' 1st Birthdays. They absolutely love them. I thought they might be too little, but they can get on and off of it easily and are able to make it go by themselves. The battery lasts a long time and it rides well on grass. I would definitely recommend for toddlers.

The Boca Grande Woman's Club Scholarship Committee will begin to review applications in the near future, and want to announced an extended deadline of March 15.
Qualified seniors in high school are either residents of the island or have a parent who has been working in Boca Grande for at least two years.
In order to qualify, students from Lemon Bay High School should receive and complete a scholarship packet from Mary Jo Holleran, the senior guidance counselor. This packet includes recommendations, high school grades and class rank, extra-curricular activities and a goal statement.

February brings cold, windy weather here in Delaware and Maryland. There is no better way to lose the winter blues than to go sailfishing in Guatemala. Buena Vista Sport Fishing offers the experience of a lifetime . We traveled with a group of six fisherman. Capt. Charlie, Capt. Leann, and Capt. Mark of Tranquila along with a professional bass circuit fisherman Jim Short, Capt. Kayvan of Reel Desire in Ocean City MD and a friend of his Capt. Skip. We fished 2 boats with 3 people on each boat for 3 days. Over the 3 day period, we raised about 120 sailfish around 100 lbs. each. We released about 60 fish! We even got to swim with the sailfish as they were being released. (Check out the photo of Jim in the water with the sailfish!)
The resort owner, Jody, and his staff catered to our every need. Staying at the lodge was a relaxing, enjoyable time. If you check out Buena Vista's Sportfishing's website, you will see the lodge is wonderful and complete with a private swimming pool for your group, tiki bar, full staff there to serve you and overlooks the canal. The price is cheap considering it is all inclusive. And, airfare is affordable to Guatemala City. If you are interested in a warm weather fishing trip....Buena Vista Sportfishing is the place!!!

Haaretz (Hebrew: הארץ) (lit. "The Land [of Israel]", originally Ḥadashot Ha'aretz – Hebrew: חדשות הארץ, IPA: [χadaˈʃot haˈʔaʁets] – "News of the Land"[3]) is Israel's oldest daily newspaper. It was founded in 1918 and is now published in both Hebrew and English in Berliner format. The English edition is published and sold together with the International New York Times. Both Hebrew and English editions can be read on the Internet. In North America, it comes out as a weekly newspaper, combining articles from the Friday edition with a roundup from the rest of the week. It is known for its staunch left-liberal stance on domestic and foreign issues.
Compared to other mass circulation papers in Israel, Haaretz uses smaller headlines and print. Less space is devoted to pictures, and more to political analysis. Its editorial pages are considered influential among government leaders.[4] Apart from the news, Haaretz publishes feature articles on social and environmental issues, as well as book reviews, investigative reporting, and political commentary. In 2008 the newspaper itself reported a paid subscribership of 65,000, daily sales of 72,000 copies, and 100,000 on weekends.[5] The English edition has a subscriber base of 15,000.[6][7] As of June 2011, readership was 5.8% of the public, down from 6.4% the prior year.[8] In 2012, amid falling circulation, Haaretz was undergoing severe cuts (reportedly firing around 20% of its total workforce, and lowering salaries by between 15-35%), and cuts continued through 2013.[9][10]
Despite its historically relatively low circulation in Israel, Haaretz was for many years considered Israel's most influential daily newspaper.[11][12][13][14] Its readership includes members of Israel's intelligentsia and members of its political and economic elites.[15][16][17] Surveys show that Haaretz readership has a higher-than-average education, income, and wealth; most are Ashkenazim.[7][18] In 2007, Shmuel Rosner, the newspaper's former U.S. correspondent, told The Nation that "people who read it are better educated and more sophisticated than most, but the rest of the country doesn't know it exists".[7] However, the former prestige and influence the newspaper once held in Israel has arguably waned in recent years, along with its standing in the country's political life.[19][20][21]
History and ownership
Haaretz was first published in 1918 as a newspaper sponsored by the British military government in Palestine.[22] In 1919, it was taken over by Russian Zionists.[23] Initially, it was called Hadashot Ha'aretz ("News of the Land"). Later, the name was shortened to "Ha'aretz". The literary section of the paper attracted the leading Hebrew writers of the time.[24]
The newspaper was initially published in Jerusalem. From 1919 to 1922, the paper was headed by a succession of editors, among them Leib Yaffe. It was shut down briefly due to a budgetary shortfall and reopened in Tel Aviv at the beginning of 1923 under the editorship of Moshe Glickson, who held the post for 15 years.[23] The Tel Aviv municipality granted the paper financial support by paying in advance for future advertisements.[25]
Salman Schocken, a wealthy German-Jewish Zionist who owned a chain of department stores in Germany, bought the paper in 1937. His son, Gershom Schocken, became the chief editor in 1939 and held that position until his death in 1990.[26]
Until August 2006, the Schocken family owned 100% of the Haaretz Group, but then the German publisher M. DuMont Schauberg acquired 25 percent of the shares.[27] The deal was negotiated with the help of former Israeli ambassador to Germany, Avi Primor.[28] This deal was seen as controversial in Israel as DuMont Schauberg's father, Kurt Neven DuMont, was member of the German Nazi party, while his publishing house promoted Nazi ideology.[29]
On 12 June 2011, it was announced that Russian-Israeli businessman Leonid Nevzlin had purchased a 20% stake in the Haaretz Group, buying 15% from the family and 5% from M. DuMont Schauberg. This means that the Schocken family now owns 60% and M. DuMont Schauberg and Leonid Nevzlin have 20% each.[30]
In October 2012, a union strike mobilized to protest planned layoffs by the Haaretz management. As a consequence, both the Haaretz newspaper and its TheMarker business supplement were not printed for one day. According to Israel Radio, it was the first time since 1965 that a newspaper did not go to press on account of a strike.[31][32]
The newspaper's editorial policy was defined by Gershom Schocken, who was editor-in-chief from 1939 to 1990. The current editor-in-chief of the newspaper is Aluf Benn, who replaced Dov Alfon in August 2011.[33] Alfon's predecessor, David Landau, succeeded Hanoch Marmari[34] and Yoel Esteron in April 2004. Charlotte Halle became editor of the English Print Edition in February 2008.
Editorial policy and viewpoints
Haaretz describes itself as broadly liberal on domestic issues and international affairs.[35] Others describe it alternatively as liberal,[36][37][38][39][40] centre-left,[41] left-wing,[42][43][44] or far-left.[45][46] In 2006, the BBC said it has a moderate stance on foreign policy and security issues.[47] David Remnick in The New Yorker described Haaretz as "easily the most liberal newspaper in Israel", its ideology as left-wing and its temper as "insistently oppositional."[48] The newspaper's op-ed pages are open to a variety of opinions.[49]
J. J. Goldberg, the editor of the American The Jewish Daily Forward, describes Haaretz as "Israel's most vehemently anti-settlement daily paper".[50] US weekly The Nation describes Haaretz as "Israel's liberal beacon", citing its editorials voicing opposition to the occupation, the security barrier, purportedly discriminatory treatment of Arab citizens, and the mindset that led to the Second Lebanon War.[7]
Andrea Levin, executive director of the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting (CAMERA), stated in 2008 that among Israelis Haaretz is seen as a "rather far-left publication" and accused the newspaper of doing "damage to the truth" and failing to correct errors.[51] Earlier, in 2001, Levin criticized Haaretz correspondent Amira Hass for inaccurate reporting and charged Haaretz with fueling anti-Israel bias.[52] However, a 2003 study in The Harvard International Journal of Press/Politics found that Haaretz reporting was more favorable to Israelis than Palestinians and more likely to report stories from the Israeli side.[53]
According to its competitor The Jerusalem Post, Haaretz editor-in-chief David Landau said at the 2007 Limmud conference in Moscow that he had told his staff not to report about criminal investigations against Prime Minister Ariel Sharon in order to promote Sharon's 2004–2005 Gaza disengagement plan.[54][55][56]
In March 2010, The Jerusalem Post reported that a pollster was unhappy with the way his poll results regarding Israeli views regarding President Obama were presented in the English edition of Haaretz, which he felt was "misleading", due to the fact that the Hebrew word "inyani" had been interpreted as "fair" instead of "businesslike".[57] Also in 2010, several columnists at The Jerusalem Post, including deputy managing editor Caroline Glick, criticized Haaretz for its role in the Anat Kamm affair.[58][59][60]
Internet editions
Haaretz operates both Hebrew[61] and English[62] language websites. The two sites offer up-to-the-minute breaking news, live Q&A sessions with newsmakers from Israel, Palestinian territories and around the world, and blogs covering a range of political standpoints and opinions. The English online edition receives an average of two million visitors per month. Both websites have blogs and are open to readers' comments.[63] The two sites fall under the supervision of Lior Kodner, the head of digital media for the Haaretz Group. Individually, Ruti Zuta is the editor of Haaretz.com (English) and Avi Scharf is the editor of Haaretz.co.il (Hebrew).
Internet blogs and columns

ALBION, Neb. — Tom Briese had questions about the Keystone XL pipeline when he first learned that the controversial project was being rerouted across his farmland.
Would it disrupt his operation? Would it contaminate the groundwater he pumps for irrigation? Would it be a good deal for him and his community?
In the end, the Albion-area farmer said, he's become a supporter — not only because the nation needs crude oil from Canada and jobs for a sluggish economy — but also because it would deliver $800,000 or more a year in additional property taxes to the local school district.
Everything has risks, Briese said, but he's convinced that any leaks would cause only local damage and would be outweighed by the benefits.
"The majority of my neighbors in the path of the pipeline agree," he said.
Briese, who submitted written rather than spoken testimony, was among the dozens of people who lodged their opinions on the crude-oil pipeline during the final public hearing on the project Tuesday night in Albion.
The farm town of 1,800 people in central Nebraska became a major player in the pipeline story after TransCanada Inc. rerouted the high-pressure pipeline to avoid the environmentally sensitive Sand Hills. The new route runs only a couple of miles east of town.
The Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality plans to complete its review of the pipeline around the end of the year, placing the decision in the hands of Gov. Dave Heineman, who has voiced support for the project.
The federal government will have the final say on whether the pipeline is built. The Keystone XL would carry diluted bitumen extracted from tar sand mines in Canada to oil refineries on the U.S. Gulf Coast.
While labor and business organizations echoed many of Briese's comments, others in the standing-room-only crowd at the Boone County Fairgrounds events center didn't agree, including some landowners affected by the project.
They expressed concerns about oil leaks fouling groundwater and ruining farming operations. They said the new route should be rejected because it still crosses sandy and porous soils similar to that in the Sand Hills and doesn't avoid the Ogallala Aquifer.
"Nebraska is an agricultural state, and if the water is contaminated, there's nothing left," said Laura Meusch of rural Stuart.
As she spoke, a 7-year-old boy, Mason Mitchell, laid out 70 toy semitrailer trucks to represent the amount of oil — in full-sized tanker trucks — that could leak each day from the 800,000-barrel-a-day pipeline.
Omaha attorney Brian Jorde, who represents a group of more than 100 landowners, said 40 percent of Nebraska landowners have denied access to TransCanada to even survey a pipeline route across their land.
"The majority of people I talk to want a more intelligent route or don't want (the pipeline) at all," Jorde said.
A frequent request at the hearing was to move the planned route to parallel the existing Keystone pipeline in eastern Nebraska. The rationale is that it would avoid affecting a new set of landowners and cross heavier soils that would contain any leaks.
Corey Goulet, a TransCanada vice president, said the route chosen is the shortest from Canada's tar sand region to a terminal at Steele City, Neb. It's also the safest, he said, because it affects fewer landowners.
The Keystone XL route passes close to North Dakota and its the booming oil fields, which could provide up to 25 percent of the oil shipped on the pipeline, Goulet said. The shortest route also is the least expensive in the $1 billion project.
Goulet said any leaks would be detected by TransCanada. If there were a spill, it would be small, with consequences "on a local level, not a regional level."
Forces for and against the pipeline held rallies prior to the hearing. Protest signs held by landowners stating "Save My Water" competed with pro-pipeline signs waved by union members touting jobs and energy independence.
"This will mean a lot of work for us," said Joe Acosta of Council Bluffs, one of about 100 members of an Omaha-based laborers union bused to Albion to support the pipeline.
But officials with anti-pipeline groups Bold Nebraska and the Sierra Club said the state review was inadequate. They joined State Sen. Ken Haar of Malcolm in asking for more time for the project to be reviewed.
Ken Winston of the Sierra Club compared the pipeline review to one the Department of Environmental Quality did years earlier on the low-level radioactive waste repository proposed near Butte, Neb., over which the state lost a $125 million lawsuit.
Winston said the state faces the same potential liability with the pipeline because Heineman has voiced support for it.
Brigham McCown, a former head of the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, urged the state to approve the project, saying it was the safest way to transport oil.
"Canada is going to produce the oil whether we allow the pipeline or not," McCown said.

We stayed 3 nights at the hotel, it is completely refurbish and they did a very good job, The staff is helpful and friendly, the rooms are fairly sized but not big with a very nice restroom. The breakfast was the best we found in our 3 weeks trip all over Italy. The bar is very trendy and the barman is good and friendly.

New Daily Flight From ABQ to JFK Begins in April of 2013
Today, during Mayor Richard J. Berry's third State of the City Address, he announced a major development for business and tourism travel in New Mexico. The mayor has secured a deal with JetBlue Airlines to provide air service to Albuquerque, with the first route being a non-stop flight from the Albuquerque International Sunport to New York City's JFK International Airport. The news regarding the flight to the big apple comes on the heels of months of conversations between Mayor Berry, JetBlue's CEO Dave Barger and Ann Rhoads, from their Board of Directors.
"This is a huge step for Albuquerque that will add to our opportunities for business and leisure travel. New York City is the largest market in the country and we now have non-stop service. This will make us more business, convention and tourist friendly, which is good news for us all," Mayor Berry said. "The JetBlue brand is a tremendous product and the city looks forward to a long-term partnership and additional growth opportunities with the airline."
Albuquerque has not had regularly scheduled service into the New York area since service to Newark ended in 2008. The new daily flight will open up economic development, convention and tourism opportunities in both markets, as well as provide for additional connections within JetBlue's network and international connections out of JFK.

Eating out every day can be a blessing in disguise – or it can be your worst nightmare. The choice is yours. Yes, you can easily eat out every day but common sense must prevail. First of all, where are you choosing to eat… is it in a cafeteria? Are you going out to eat nothing but fast food? Are you eating on the run and not actually sitting down to enjoy your food? Do you eat by yourself or do you have company? All these questions and more play a major role in how well you will gain, maintain or possibly even lose weight and still eat out every day.
With that in mind, let us address each topic for a better understanding.
