Air Force to launch fixes to nuclear program
Wednesday - 6/11/2014, 3:34am EDT
AP National Security Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Air Force is launching an ambitious campaign to repair flaws in its nuclear missile corps, after recent training failures, security missteps, leadership lapses, morale problems and stunning breakdowns in discipline prompted Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel to demand action to restore public confidence in the nuclear force.
Air Force leaders are planning to offer bonus pay to missile force members, fill gaps in their ranks, offer a nuclear service medal and put more money into modernizing what in some respects has become a decrepit Minuteman 3 missile force that few airmen want to join and even fewer view as a career-enhancing mission.
The potential impact of these and other planned changes is unclear. They do not appear to address comprehensively what some see as the core issue: a flagging sense of purpose in a force that atrophied after the Cold War ended two decades ago as the military's focus turned to countering terrorism and other threats.
Even so, some analysts are encouraged by these initial Air Force moves.
"I think this is a step in the right direction," said Dana Struckman, a retired Air Force officer who commanded a Minuteman 3 missile squadron at Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota in 2003-05. "I think it will make a difference."
Driving this effort is Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James, who took over as the service's top civilian official in December amid a series of embarrassing lapses by the men and women who operate, support and lead the fleet of 450 intercontinental ballistic missiles, or ICBMs, based in North Dakota, Montana and Wyoming.
The missiles are armed with nuclear warheads, ready for launch on short notice any day, any hour.
In January, after visiting a Minuteman 3 base, Hagel declared, "We know that something is wrong." He ordered a pair of comprehensive reviews to identify what was amiss and to recommend solutions. Both reviews missed their initial deadlines for completion, and Hagel has said little publicly about it in recent months.
The cascade of bad news began in May 2013 when The Associated Press revealed that a group of ICBM launch officers at Minot Air Force Base had been stripped of their authority following a poor inspection result and other problems. The AP also disclosed that the deputy operations commander at Minot had complained in an internal email of "rot" in his ranks -- an assessment that aired a range of morale and other behavioral, training, leadership and security problems that later emerged at the ICBM bases in Wyoming and Montana.
In October the two-star general in charge of ICBMs was fired for drunken behavior while on official business in Russia, and in November the AP revealed an unpublished study that found evidence of "burnout" among missile launch officers and cited elevated rates of personal misconduct within the ICBM force.
For months Air Force officials insisted that the morale issues and other problems amounted to nothing more than commonplace gripes and isolated, correctable goofs. James, however, took a different approach.
In January, just weeks after taking office and days after the discovery of an exam-cheating scandal among nearly 100 launch crew members in the 341st Missile Wing at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana, James declared herself "profoundly disappointed," and announced that the ICBM force was in need of closer scrutiny. She visited all three ICBM bases and said afterward the problems are "systemic," not isolated.
"I tip my hat to her for really taking this on," Struckman said. "She didn't shy away."
Also in January, the Air Force disclosed that three ICBM launch officers were among those implicated in a criminal investigation of drug use or possession -- a probe that remains active. And in March it announced it was firing nine officers in leadership positions at Malmstrom and one, Col. Donald Holloway, at F.E. Warren Air Force Base, which is headquarters for the organization in charge of the entire ICBM force.
Since then the Air Force has developed and begun publicizing internal changes aimed at fixing what ails the ICBM force, although the two reviews that Hagel ordered in February are not yet complete. It's unclear how the Air Force's proposed changes will be squared with whatever recommendations emerge from Hagel's reviews.
Among the more dramatic and potentially important moves, James has recommended to Hagel that he put a four-star general in charge of the nuclear Air Force, including the ICBM and bomber fleets, thereby elevating its status and clout inside an Air Force more focused on air, space and cyberspace missions. A three-star general is currently running the force. Raising the rank to four stars will require approval by Congress.

So there has been much hype circulating this little milkshake shop in West Hollywood called Millions of Milkshakes. The concept of the shop is very simple and clever and really showcases the power of Hollywood. It has been a hip spot to stop by due to the ideal location. Since teenagers and young adults everywhere have always been fascinated with the idea of celebrities and their fame and fortune, it's no wonder this place is so popular. While a milkshake shop in itself is hard to resist, it definitely helps when you have celebrities promoting your shop. They may not be the highest class of A-list celebs, but its pretty cool to know your drinking the same unique beverage that Lindsay Lohan or Kim Kardashian or even JBiebz created.
Millions of Milkshakes located in West Hollywood, Culver City, and (coming soon!) Dubai.
So I decided to order the Lil' Kim. I found it really hard to choose a flavor based on the celebrity rather than the actual ingredients, 'cus I mean to be honest the "Justin Timberlake" milkshake could have dirt and toilet water in it and I would have still ordered it. But sadly there was no Justin Timberlake milkshake (sigh). Anyhow, I thought this was a good selection, notably, I really enjoy Lil' Kim's fashion selections and she has a great choice in milkshake ingredients. (bananas, raspberry & nutella) YUMMY! && gladly this wasn't just an "all hype, no substance" food joint. The milkshake was actually quite delightful!
Thanks Lil' Kim.
Millions of Milkshakes
I went to go visit my grandparents in the Bay Area two weeks ago, and we stopped by to eat at one of my favorite restaurants. Elio's Family Restaurant in San Leandro is a huge diner that serves the simple stuff. But, simple diner food is never a letdown. I've been eating here ever since I was little, every time I would visit my grandparents and I never get tired of eating here.
You can never go wrong with a chocolate milkshake.
Even though it was one in the afternoon, I decided to order breakfast. Plus, I just love their hash browns.

Police say social media turned call to high school into 'snowball'
With the regional SWAT Team in full operation and students being evacuated from the high school, inaccurate messages started showing up on social media, said Police Chief John Duval.
One said a bomb went off, Duval said. Another urged people to go to the school. A Concord High hashtag included a Tweet about gunfire and possible hostages.
But there were no hostages or gunfire. In fact, no gun at the school at all. By 10:30 p.m., police had arrested an 18 year old, within hours they freed him. At a press conference Wednesday, police said a teenage student lied when she told police the young man had threatened her with a handgun.
She could face charges of filing a false report, Duval said.
Lt. Timothy O'Malley said the social media added an element of fear to the school, which police evacuated after receiving the false report.
"That snowball started rolling dowhill, and it just started growing bigger and bigger as the night went on," Duval said.
He said the posts led to calls from the public and reporters, which he tried to answer with email and telephone.
"The more you say, 'No, this didn't happen,' then you get 'what did happen?' while at the same time we're trying to figure out what the reality was in the midst of the incident," Duval said. He said Concord police do have a Facebook page and Twitter feed, but he has more to learn about social media.
Throughout the incident, police put nothing on Facebook, and their only Twitter feed came at 10:37 p.m., announcing the arrest.
The incident started about 7:35 p.m. when police received the initial report of the girl being threatened. They activated the Central New Hampshire Special Operations Unit, which evacuated the building.
About 50 people were inside the building. Some were taking an adult music classes, some a college culinary class. Some high school students were filming a movie, which involved makeup and fake blood, school officials said.
The 18-year-old was found at his residence and arrested, police announced Tuesday night. But within hours, police started to doubt the girl's story. The suspect was released after being in custody for four hours, Duval said.
"He did not commit a crime last night," Duval said. Police did not release the man's name, but it was broadcast over social media, and the Concord Monitor ran the man's name after interviewing the girl.
Duval said the mobilization of the SWAT unit involved 20 to 30 officers, including police from Concord, Bow, Loudon, New Hampshire State Police and Merrimack County Sheriff deputies. Othe calls for service to Concord police backed up during the incident.
Duval said the incident cost the police department up to $10,000. If charged and convicted, the girl could be forced to pay restitution, Duval said.
An investigation is continuing, police said.

text: This is sad news. I don't think that Bynum is inherently "bad." I suspect that he, like so many others, was unable to escape the cultural circumstances of his early life. Duke makes a difference. Compare Bynum etc. to Sean Dockery. This is why inner city players (Carrawell, Dockery), of less than propitious circumstances, are among my favorite ^$%^$%^$%^$%ies. Duke is always more than basketball. And this why we (i.e., Coach K and staff) should always consider the circumstances and attempt to recruit some of these players. Potentially they can do so much for our program while also confirming that a Duke experience can also benefit those who were not advantaged by birth.

Rihanna is taking a page out of the Lindsay Lohan legal defense playbook and skipped out on a deposition -- and now it could now cost her MILLIONS ... if her ex-accountants get their way.
As TMZ previously reported, Rihanna sued her former money managers, claiming they mismanaged her funds and owed her millions. But the firm, Berdon LLP, fired back, saying Ri's money woes were her own fault and they owe her squat.
Berdon has been trying to get RiRi to sit down for a deposition for NINE MONTHS, but no cigar. Now they've filed new legal docs, imploring a judge to punish Ri for her actions.
Specifically, Berdon says RiRi has blown off a court-ordered deposition on a slew of occasions: November 2012 (extension), January 29, 2013 (avoided), May 8 and May 9, 2013 (said she had a concert, but knew the concert dates loooong before), and most recently June 19 (said she was sick).
Berdon is MOST pissed about June 19. They claim they accommodated RiRi's schedule and set-up the deposition in London, costing them about $100k ... only for Rihanna to cancel. Despite the fact, they claim, she performed shortly before and after the 19th and was tweeting the day before ... with no signs of illness.
Berdon says it's "been pushed beyond the breaking point" and "cannot excuse her behavior."
The accountants are asking a judge to dismiss RiRi's multi-million dollar suit outright and wants her fined at least $100,000 for their wasted time and resources.
A judge has yet to rule.
She's not worthy of her fans money ,she has no respect for her fans time.
Maybe she could have someone sit in for her at the deposition. Kind of like her Lip-synch concerts.
Do not support her she is not a Real Singer don't waste your money. A sound engineer and electronics created her pure and simple there are real singers to be found,
How does she get away with being over an hour late to every show and all of her antics? If this was Bey, Brotney, Christina, Gaga, etc their careers would have been over by now...Rihanna doesn't even have talent smfh
Lawyers r crooks too.
dumb chick is dumb
She sure is pretty.
She can afford IT!!
Trust that
Where LiLo is a broke lil girl!!
TMZ: Could you possibly come up with a more boring, unimportant story as this one is?? Who the fk cares?
This talentless Barbados Ghetto Skank can live like a QUEEN for $50 BUCKS A MONTH in her country....
Skipping out on HER depositions over her law suit against them, only hurts her, so let her hang herself. No one cares if she goes or not. Not my money.
F**king skank, Thinks she's above the law.
is on it
If it's a Californian Celebrity Court--forget it. They may drop the case, but NOT going impose any fines or demand that she pay anything.
What's her problem? She sues them and then blows them off? Throw her case out. The courts are too busy to deal with this nonsense.
I don't blame them one bit. I hope the judge agrees.

Electric Pallet Trucks

SAN JOSE, Calif., July 17, 2012 – Infortrend® (Public TPE: 2495) today announced the North American availability of two new product lines in its EonNAS family of unified storage solutions, the EonNAS Pro and EonNAS 1000 Series. Although NAS is fast becoming the storage solution of choice for the SOHO and SMB markets, when it comes to data protection, current offerings come up short. Infortrend's new EonNAS Pro and EonNAS 1000 Series fill this void by offering an unprecedented collection of advanced data protection features – including deduplication, ZFS checksum, snapshot and pool mirror – bringing enterprise-level features to the SOHO and SMB markets.
Simple to deploy and use, Infortrend's new solutions feature comprehensive protocol support to enable users to serve file-based and block-based applications with a single device and achieve easy file sharing among Windows, Mac and Linux/Unix workstations in the office.
Data deduplication can benefit a great number of applications, in particular backup and virtualization applications. With storage space savings of up to 90 percent, the technology enables users to achieve significant cost reductions. Resource utilization on EonNAS Pro and EonNAS 1000 systems is further enhanced by thin provisioning technology and data compression.
The ZFS file system achieves end-to-end data integrity through a hierarchical checksum mechanism, which weeds out silent data corruption phenomena that go undetected in other file systems. In addition to ZFS, data is protected by many other features. Snapshots offer space-efficient differential data copies to quickly rollback data or restore files in the event of data errors. With remote replication, users can replicate data in asynchronous mode to another EonNAS Pro or EonNAS 1000 system or third-party device, while the pool mirror function allows users to keep data in two different EonNAS Pro or EonNAS 1000 systems fully synced at all times.
Various data backup options are also available. PC data can be backed up to the EonNAS Pro and EonNAS 1000 systems through third-party backup software support, while EonNAS data can be backed up to external disk drives via USB or eSATA connections.
The superior performance levels offered by the EonNAS Pro and EonNAS 1000 systems ensure that users can efficiently deal with demanding applications. For each network protocol, the EonNAS solutions deliver performance of more than 100MB/s, and in FTP environments, users can achieve up to 180MB/s.
The EonNAS Pro Series offers 2-, 4-, 5-, and 8-bay tower systems that can be set up in minutes and are extremely easy to manage. The EonNAS 1000 Series features 4-bay systems with an industry-standard 1U rackmount form factor. The new models round out Infortrend's comprehensive family of NAS offerings, which also includes the EonNAS 3000 Series – designed for SMBs, remote/branch offices and enterprise departments – and the EonNAS 5000 Series, which enables enterprises to efficiently deal with file- and block-based applications.
For more information about Infortrend's new EonNAS solutions, please go to www.eonnas.com or contact an Infortrend sales representative at (408) 988-5088.

Soramimi (空耳?, "mishearing; (feigned) deafness", literally "air ear") or Soramimi kashi (空耳歌詞?, misheard lyrics);[1] is a Japanese term for homophonic translation of song lyrics, that is, interpreting lyrics in one language as similar-sounding lyrics in another language. A bilingual soramimi word play contrasts with a monolingual mondegreen or homophonic transformation.
An example would be the Moldovan band O-Zone's song "Dragostea din tei" (マイヤヒー maiyahī, named from the words in the opening of the song), known on the web as the Numa Numa song. The refrain of the original song (in Romanian) is:
- Vrei să pleci dar nu mă, nu mă iei...
- ("You want to leave but you don't want, don't want to take me...")
A soramimi version, from the Japanese flash animation Maiyahi, translates these words as:[2][3][4][5]
- 米さ、米酒か、飲ま飲まイェイ!
- Bei sa, beishu ka, nomanoma-yei!
- ("Rice, is it, rice wine, drink it drink it yeah!")
Japanese comedian Tamori has had a long-running "Soramimi Hour" segment on his TV program Tamori Club, where he and his co-host watch mini-skits based on soramimi kashi submitted by the audience.
English ("Buffalax")[edit]
Mike Sutton, a mondegreen director on YouTube with the username "Buffalax", has uploaded several non-English music videos edited to include subtitles of the written English approximation of the video's original language's sound. "Benny Lava", Sutton's subtitling of the video for Prabhu Deva Sundaram's song, "Kalluri Vaanil" from the Tamil movie, Pennin Manathai Thottu, received considerable praise.[6] Both the terms "Buffalaxed" and "Benny Lava" are now synonymous with mondegreens, "words or phrases misheard in ways that yield new meanings."[7][8]
Buffalax's account was closed in early 2011 for copyright violation complaints, and the videos (including those that were not copyright violations) were all deleted, however, videos have been remade and cleaned up - often replacing the sound and/or video with better copies - and re-uploaded by other users.
The Dutch song "Opblaaskrokodil" by Ome Henk has been turned into an animutation called "The French Erotic Film", where the word "Opblaaskrokodil" becomes "Old blue Scot called Dil".
The Palestinian patriotic song "Blādi, blādi" ("Motherland, Motherland") was intentionally "misheard" into Russian (as blyadi, blyadi = "whores, whores") and uploaded to YouTube with Russian subtitles. The resulting video became an instant hit on Russian-language websites and blogs with more than 2 million views, and a number of phrases from the Russian version (especially "No money, long bumblebee") became instant catchphrases. Below is the example of the chorus:
|Arabic (transliterated)
|Russian (transliterated)
|Russian translated
("blādi" in the original is dialect for standard Arabic bilādī بِلَادِي = "my country".)
In another instance, a Russian-language cover of Tic Tic Tac, a popular soca/disco hit by Carrapicho, phonetically rendered the first phrase of the chorus, Bate forte o tambor (Portuguese for "beat the drum hard"), as Мальчик хочет в Тамбов (Malchik Hochet v Tambov = "A boy wants to go to Tambov").
In the 1976 Boney M hit Daddy Cool, the chorus "What about it Daddy Cool?" was heard by many Russians as Varvara zharit kur (Варвара жарит кур) = "Barbara is frying chicken"
German ("Agathe Bauer")[edit]
In German popular culture, Mondegreens are often called 'Agathe Bauer Songs'. This comes from the Snap! song The Power, the refrain of which ("I've got the power") sounds like the German name Agathe Bauer. German radio station RTL 104.6 runs a segment where listeners call in with their own Agathe Bauer songs, which are played on-air.[9] Another German term for soramimi is Verhörer.
Dutch ("Mama Appelsap")[edit]
In Dutch, the act of finding misheard lyrics in songs is sometimes referred to as "Mama Appelsap" (literally "momma applejuice"). The name "Mama Appelsap" refers to the song "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" by Michael Jackson. The chant "Mama-se mama-sa ma-ma-coo-sa" (Jackson's imitation of Soul Makossa by Manu Dibango) can appear by Dutch speakers as if it sounds like "Mama say mama sa mama appelsap". The item became a running joke on national radio station 3FM, when DJ Timur Perlin hosted a program titled "Mama Appelsap", whereby listeners suggest various Dutch phrases and sentences purported to have been heard in songs.
Danish ("Undersættelse")[edit]
In Danish, where the word "translation" is oversættelse (literally "over-setting"), such a lyrical mistake is called an under-setting (undersættelse). Danish artist Benny Vigan Madsen has made a number of illustrated soramimi clips of national anthems, most popular among which the Red Army Choir's version of the USSR anthem, where the final line Nas k torzhestvu kommunizma vedyot ("It leads us to the triumph of Communism") becomes Pasta med sprut. Nå, kunne vi sparke en røv? ("Pasta with booze. So could we kick an ass?")
Hebrew ("Timlulim")[edit]
In Hebrew, the act of finding misheard lyrics in songs is known as "Timlul" (lit.: "Transcript"). Soramimi clips in Israel were almost exclusively the work of amateurs publishing their work on the internet, and were popular mainly during the mid-2000s, with the most transcripted musical act being Era. For instance, in one such transcript of the song Hymne, the opening line "In tu pate del cat" becomes Timtum Al Emet Ratz ("Stupidity for real runs"); "I manitores solitudi me" becomes Ima, Likro Le Soli-Dolittle? ("Mom, should I go call Soli-Dolittle?", with Soli ostensibly being a relative of Dr. Dolittle); and the repeated "Senzo" is misheard as Samsung, which led to the piece being dubbed The Samsung Cantata (הקנטטה של סמסונג). Another soramimi flash clip of an Era piece was based on Ameno, where "Dorime" became Dori Met (דורי מת, Dori is dead).
Though the Era transcripts were the majority, there were a few others that became well-known. These included a transcript of Dragostea Din Tei that interpreted the song's repeated "Maya"s as a reference to Maya Buskila (with accompanying visuals), and a transcript of Adiemus where "a-ya doo a-ye" became Hayagur Ra'ev ("The Yagur is Hungry"; "Yagur" is not actually a word, but phonetic and linguistic cues heavily suggest that it is supposed to be some kind of bird).
Italian ("Canzoni italianizzate")[edit]
In Italy, the art of taking an Indian (or any other non-Italian) music video and giving it subtitles for what it sounds like in Italian, became popular. One of the songs that have been most successful is the soramimi version of Tunak Tunak Tun, called on Italy Trema (Trembles).
Other examples[edit]
A number of internet videos exploit soramimi for Carmina Burana, juxtaposing the music with images appropriate to the supposed lyrics, for example showing four cans of tuna for "O Fortuna"[10] Soramimi transcription is also commonly used in animutations for comic effect.
In Mandarin Chinese, there is a joke based on Michael Jackson's "Beat It" which goes:
- 哪一個偶像最喜歡說"筆勒"?
- nǎyígè ǒuxiàng zuì xǐhuān shuō "bǐlēi"?
- Which idol most likes to say "got a pen?" (literal)
- Which Pop Star always asks for a pen? (translated)
- Answer: Michael Jackson. "Beat it!" sounds like "got a pen?"
In Romania, the children's song "Pula Pula" ("Jump Jump"), by Brazilian gospel singer Aline Barros became a sensation, getting airplay on major radio stations and spawning several YouTube parody videos[11] with Romanian soramimi lyrics, as "pula" means "penis" in Romanian and it is heavily repeated in the chorus.
In Poland, "Decade of Therion", a 1999 song of death metal band Behemoth, became a popular Internet meme when given soramimi lyrics. The English phrase "We transgress the context of commonplaceness" has been interpreted in Polish as "Łyżwiarz wie, że kotek odkopał prezent" ('The ice-skater knows that the pussycat has dug up the present').
In Serbo-Croatian, the title (and refrain) of Queen's song "Another One Bites the Dust" is often deliberately misinterpreted as "a Radovan baca daske", meaning "and Radovan (a male name) is throwing the planks". Similarly, The Police song "Message in a Bottle" is interpreted as "mesečina, bato" ('moonlight, o brother').
In Brazil there are loads of soramimi involving Indian film music, mainly with Prabhu Deva acting, including Kalluri Vaanil from Benny Lava fame (known on Brazil as "Vai Rivaldo", referring the famous soccer player, captain of 2002 Brazil national football team on Japan and Korea). Also a very popular one is with Tunak Tunak Tun, called on Brazil Tônico com Guaraná (Tonic with Soda)
The chorus of the Las Ketchup song "Aserejé" is an Andalusian Spanish phonetic rendering of the English-language song "Rapper's Delight" by The Sugarhill Gang.
In 80s Hungary, the chorus of the Opus song Live is Life (La ba dab dab dab life) was often misheard for "Levelet kaptam, Life" (literally meaning "I have received a letter, Life).
In France, a popular occurrence of misheard lyrics is found in the Metallica song "The Unforgiven". The original lyrics go : "New blood joins this earth // And quickly he's subdued" which is misheard in French as : "Nous battons des œufs // Et pouic! pouic! ils se tournent" (we whisk eggs, and kwik! kwik! they turn).

798cc, 125bhp, 155mph, Insurance group
The Brutale 800 Dragster is a very specific type of bike for a very specific purpose. Don't expect it to go touring or suffer a daily commute. It's a proper Sunday show-off, at home honing about streets and back lanes, using its banging midrange and sorted throttle response to boss traffic with extravagant disdain. It's as good as its looks; ...
798cc, 90bhp, 120mph, Insurance group
The new F800GT is a bike that can do the daily commute in comfort and safety thanks to the updated fairing, screen and standard ABS, before handling a longer weekend ride with a pillion and luggage. It's even entertaining on some twisty country roads thanks to the sweet handling, decent brakes and nicely rounded engine. Yes, this capability comes at ...
798cc, 75bhp, 105mph, Insurance group
If you want something light and easy to ride, which makes a great commuter and is backed up with excellent ABS then your first choice should be the F700GS. It's not quite as much fun as other middleweight adventure bikes, but it's a good compromise. The only sticking point is the price. The BMW is the most expensive bike in ...
847cc, 115bhp, 145mph, Insurance group 14
Yamaha's MT-09 middleweight roadster should be spectacular – a worthy rival to Triumph's mighty Street Triple. Experienced riders will love the power from its 115bhp, 850cc three-cylinder engine, its ability to do easy stunts and the huge reserves of ground clearance available. Newer riders will enjoy the motor's flexibility, light weight and low seat. It's as happy doing the daily ...
124cc, 13.1bhp, 70mph, Insurance group 6
The CBR125R has been yet another of Honda's success stories. In its seven years of production, the sporty-looking learner 125cc has sold by the ship load all over the world, with good reason. It is easy to ride, comfortable, gives good fuel economy and, above all, it's a Honda… For 2011 the CBR125R has been updated. The mini-emperor has new ...
599cc, 100.6bhp, mph, Insurance group 14
Honda Europe was asked to produce a modern-day version of its famed CBR600F, the bike that helped kickstart the 600cc supersport arena in 1987. With blessing from Japan, the CBR600F ABS is the finished article. And very good it is too by being easy to ride, comfortable, good looking and can be ridden quickly very, very easily. It's keenly priced, ...
779cc, 106bhp, mph, Insurance group 16
Yamaha's Fazer range of bikes used to be all about hard-working, do it all, value for money bikes. One look at the today's price for the new Fazer8 says otherwise when comparing it to the competition – and the fact there is the slightly bigger capacity but vastly superior FZ1 in Yamaha's line up. But what you have to remember ...
748cc, 105bhp, 130mph, Insurance group 11
Kawasaki say they're gunning for the Street Triple R with the new Z750R, but it ultimately lacks excitement and you don't get the kind of performance you want from a 750 or an 'R' tagged bike. It seems the marketing men have gone a bit giddy with that badge. If you're expecting a smaller version of the excellent new Z1000, ...
125cc, 13.5bhp, 65mph, Insurance group
The PS125i is sturdy, well made and has the weight of the Honda brand behind it, so you know it's a safe and reliable purchase. That said, it's pricier than the competition and doesn't perform as well. Ridden in isolation it's perfectly adequate, but for the money there are better scooters out there.
124cc, 12.5bhp, 65mph, Insurance group
As big-wheel scooters go the Peugeot LXR125 is hard to fault – the competitive price, stable handling and a good dose of practicality add up to well-rounded package. It looks relatively stylish to boot.
Save money by comparing quotes. It's quick and easy

WHITING | The nerves were present when Braden Niksich walked on to the mound at Oil City Stadium.
Just a 15-year-old sophomore pitcher for Hobart, Niksich had never felt what it's like to play baseball in front of Major League Baseball scouts. He got that chance Wednesday, pitching the fifth and sixth innings of the Midwest Professional Showcase for the Red team, which was defeated 8-3 by the Blue team.
"I did OK," said Niksich, who gave up three runs, two hits, three walks and struck out one. "I wish I could have done better. I was a little nervous coming out there."
Niksich was the only player from Indiana to participate. Other players from Illinois and Wisconsin comprised the field of the showcase, which also took place on Tuesday.
For Niksich to pitch against players he won't see during upcoming seasons with the Brickies, it will only serve as a benefit.
"This is really good for me to get this kind of experience, because I really want to play college baseball," he said.
Hobart coach Bob Glover Jr. was in attendance to watch Niksich pitch. He gave his young player some advice going into his two-inning appearance.
"I just tried to talk to him about being himself," Glover said. "You want to go out there and try to do the things that got you here in the first place. People recognize your talent and you want to go out there and be that guy who got invited here. If he's less nervous the next time, this will have been worth it. Next time, whenever that is, he'll be better equipped to deal with the nerves that go along with it, and he'll be OK."
Mount Carmel's Jeremy Houston, Caravan teammate Brandon Sanchez, Homewood-Flossmoor's Bryce Gray and Calumet City resident and Simeon player Tavaris Terrell rounded out the other local players.
Houston, a sophomore for the Caravan, said he didn't feel nervous coming into the event. It showed. He had a strong day at the plate, going 2-for-2 with a double, single and a walk.
Houston, who wants to follow in the footsteps of his brother Jerry, who will play for Oregon, knows how important events like these are.
"It's my dream, basically," he said. "I really want to play college baseball. I love it."

Comments about Enfamil Pregestimil®:
2 years ago my first son was born, at 8 weeks old after liver surgery and a 2 week hospital stay he was diagnosed with a liver disease called Alpha 1 Antitrypsin deficiency. He was only 5lbs at 2 months old, and one of the symptons of his disease is fat malabsorption. They started him on Pregestimil during his hospital stay and he was up to 7lbs by discharge day. He stayed on this formula for a year and it helped him grow and stay healthy. I had to have it specially ordered & mailed through my insurance but it was a lifesaver for my son & his health!

Comments about Enfamil Pregestimil®:
I have a preemie with short gut and pregestimil is the only formula he can eat, my complaint is the I have to special order it and pay shipping, or drive 20 miles to a store that says they sell it. So I pay just as much in gas as I would for shipping. I wish it was sold in more stores. Otherwise, it is a great formula for short gut babies :) Free samples would be appreciated, I have so many hospital bills from my baby spending the first 3 months of his life in the NICU.

Comments about Enfamil Pregestimil®:
My son ended up needing this after we found out he has a rare liver disease and has trouble absorbing fats. At first he didn't take to it at all and almost refused to eat it. But he ended up getting used to it and he loves it now.
Best Uses
Comments about Enfamil Pregestimil®:
My grandson had a life threatening intestinal problem requiring surgery. Total parenteral nutrition was required for some months which kept him alive but also caused some liver problems as he could not be given any milk orally. When he could be fed breast milk he remained very jaundiced and did not gain weight as his liver could not deal with the long chain fatty acids in breast milk. When he was given pregestemil by the liver specialist he started to gain weight and he was no longer jaundiced. Pregestemil contains medium chain fatty acids which his liver could process.It saved his life. God bless whoever developed it.

Comments about Enfamil Pregestimil®:
When my son was 2 months old he was diagnosed with a severe milk protein allergy. His stomach lining was torn severely causing bloody diapers and lots of pain. We had tried nutramigen and aulimentum and many other kinds with no success. Finally after a few days in the hospital his doctor suggested this formula. After a week of using it he was a completely different baby! He started sleeping through the night, smiling, laughing and barely cries. It's been a lifesaver. The only thing I don't like about it is that it smells really bad and doesn't mix well unless its already warm water. It also can only be bought online, which I don't like. I wish it came in larger containers.

We are excited to be one of a select few retailers for Woolfolk. These incredibly soft Merino yarns are made for wool with an average micron count of only 17.5 – in layman's terms that means its comparable in feel to cashmere.
Besides being a dream to touch, its also a wonderful story. The wool is sourced from Ovis 21, a group that is working with farmers to rejuvenate and sustain the grasslands of Patagonia.
Check out both yarns – Tynd, a Sportweight 2-ply and Får, an aran chainette, plus all the patterns from woolfolk's FW14 collection!
