Former Michigan star Desmond Howard now makes a living giving his opinions as a college football analyst for ESPN.
- Filed Under
ESPN college football analyst and former Michigan Heisman Trophy winner Desmond Howard on Wednesday spoke to the Free Press about Johnny Football, U-M quarterback Devin Gardner, U-M wide receiver Jeremy Gallon, and whether Michigan-Notre Dame is indeed a historic rivalry. Here are excerpts:
On the NCAA suspending Heisman winner Johnny Manziel for one half against Rice last week after investigating allegations that he signed autographs for money: "I thought that was a waste of everybody's time. The NCAA just made themselves laughable again. It was just utterly ridiculous. For a half ...

CANTON - Welcome, hot cider and sweater season. Fall is here.
Temperatures may have been dropping in the last few weeks, but do not expect the fall-like weather to last, said James A. Mitchell, a Buffalo-area National Weather Service meteorologist.
Right now, it looks like in the short term, were going to have a cool spell, he said.
After a week and a half, he expects the rest of the season to have above-average temperatures as the jet stream channels the cold Canadian air south. Even so, he said the north country can see snow as soon as October.
We can see snow anytime, especially up there, he said. All it takes is one good punch.
Additionally, he said, the summer drought may negatively affect fall foliage in the regions drier parts.
Overall, the state as a whole was dry, he said. It makes the trees want to shut down early. The color is usually not as vibrant and the leaves tend to want to fall off the trees before the color peaks.
Lowville was hit the hardest by the dry season, totaling 10.16 inches of rain throughout the summer. The average rainfall is 13.39 inches. Julys 1.32 inches was severely below the months average of 3.26 inches.
Massena received an average of an inch below average per month this summer, according to John M. Goff, a Burlington NWS meteorologist.
It was a little on the dry side, but nothing significant, he said.
Watertown received more than average rainfall for every summer month except July, when it totaled 2.98 inches compared to an average of 3.08 inches.
Mr. Mitchell said the weekend could bring additional rain.
That area will see some lake-effect rain, he said. It could be significant in some areas.
Temperatures in Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties have been slightly above average.

The winery is not the issue here. Voting on a matter without seeing the evidence that filled the courtroom with concerns citizens is.
How can an elected official clearly represent the people if he does not require all information to be presented, and demand, on my behalf, to see the full picture?
Is that how the government of our county is going to be run - secret petitions?
When an honest election is presented, there should be no fear of the public's full knowledge and full disclosure.

It's great to live in Owen County!
I am so thankful that I get to live in Owen County. I have not lived anywhere else and have never wanted to. Owen County is a beautiful town with great scenery, great agriculture, and great people! If you ask me, I say this is the greatest town in the world! Owen County has always been home to me and recently I've been reminded that it is also a family.
To the City of Owenton, City Council, and the Mayor of Owenton,
Thank you so very much for the repair of our sidewalk. We thank the city Council and the mayor of Owenton for the blessed donation. My self and the seniors appreciate all of the hard work and how fast it was taken care of. It has made our building look a lot better.
Stacey Long and the seniors
Owen County Senior Center
On Aug. 12, it was amazing to see so many Owen countians who filled the old courthouse - folks standing everywhere hoping their voices would be heard.
All but two of the speakers stated strong cases against expanded alcohol sales but it fell on deaf ears.
I would like to thank Magistrate Asa Phillips for standing and voting with the concerned voters of Owen County against Sunday sales.
Also a hearty thanks to (Owen County Judge-Executive) Carolyn Keith who allowed so many people to voice their fears and she also cast a 'no' vote for the record.
What are we to do? Our homeland is filled with violence. Alcohol and drugs are the frontal attack to weaken us before the full-scale assault. The hearts of many of our leaders have been turned to stone. Their hearing is dull.
For Christians, the future is still bright. Our God, Jesus Christ, is alive and still in control. Just as in the frontier times, the bear is at the cabin door seeking to devour us.
But as Pharaoh said about Moses "his God is God." That is still true today. Our God is God.
Meeting the Needs Ministry would like to thank all churches and individuals who have donated to Meeting the Needs Ministry Building Fund. Your support and generosity is greatly appreciated.
For many in our community, hunger is a daily challenge. There are children, families, and seniors who struggle to have enough food each day and your contributions to Meeting the Needs Ministry makes it possible to feed the hungry in Owen County. Thank You!

Meeting the Needs
Sometimes doing nothing is the worst plan of all. When it comes to the scourge of heroin in our community, the Kentucky House of Representatives chose to do nothing this past session to combat the deadliest drug epidemic to hit the district in years.
With several overdoses in the past few weeks in both Owen and Scott counties, I am disgusted with how House Leadership left Senate Bill 5, the Heroin Bill, out to dry in the final moments of the 2014 Kentucky General Assembly Session.
I was unable to attend the county meeting on July 22 as I was in Washington, D.C. to meet with our representatives on behalf of Christians United For Israel. We need to pray for the peace in the Middle East. Especially pray for the peace of Jerusalem. It is the word.
I would have asked to speak at the meeting, but I will write my words from I Peter 5:8, "Be sober, be vigilant; because the Devil, as a roaring lion, walk about, seeking whom he may devour." I pray he may not.
I hope to see everyone out on Aug. 12.

Florida guard Mike Rosario led the Gators to the NCAA tournament round of 16 for the third consecutive year with a career-high 25 points.
Just two days after playing a season-low 15 minutes Rosario started scorching hot in the first half. At one point he was tied with Minnesota at 15 points apiece. Rosario's 15 minutes Friday night were eight less than his previous season-low of 23. Sunday night he finished with 34 minutes, 25 points, six three-pointers and two steals.
No. 3 seed Florida beat No. 11 seed Minnesota 78-64 as the Gophers failed to overcome a 21-point deficit at halftime. The Gators did not make it easy on themselves.
Erik Murphy scored 15 points in the first half on 5-7 shooting. He did not attempt a field goal in the second half as he dealt with foul trouble throughout. Sunday night marked the third time Murphy had fouled out this season.
Murphy, Patric Young, Kenny Boynton and Casey Prather combined for just five second half points. Young did not score a field goal in a game for the first time in almost two years. The last time that happened was against Butler in the Elite Eight game on March 26, 2011.
Minnesota turned a 13-2 run into a 19-5 run and brought Florida's lead to single digits. This came in large part to sophomore guard Andre Hollins. He began the game shooting 7-8 before making just one of his next five. Hollins tied a career-high with six three-pointer. At the 9:21 mark he picked up his fourth foul and the game settled down from there. From the 9:45 mark to the 2:57 mark in the second half Minnesota did not make a field goal.
Despite scoring just three field goals and turning the ball over five times in the opening eight minutes of the second half the Gators managed to pull away once again.
Scottie Wilbekin finished with 12 points (10 in the second half) and six assists. Yeguete scored seven points, all in the second half.
All of Florida's 28 wins this season have been by double digits. The Gators are now 20-0 when scoring 70 points or more this season.
Florida's next game is Friday night at 9:57 p.m. against No. 15 seed Florida Gulf Coast.

This is bigger than Minnesota, even when I went back to Minnesota. Minnesota wasn't like this.
-Kevin Garnett on his reception returning to Boston.
Earlier this season at the Target Center, Kevin Garnett received a tribute video from the Timberwolves — a nice little montage of moments documenting his career. The crowd gave him a standing ovation, and Garnett stood and waived his thanks. It was a nice moment, but it didn't feel quite right — like an old boxer returning to his gym years later when fans no longer remember him. KG is respected, mostly from the old-timers who remember what it was like when he prowled the Target Center floors. The younger fans weren't totally sure why this man who hacked Kevin Love hard enough to draw a flagrant foul later in the contest was being lauded. "That's Kevin Garnett," the man sitting behind me said to his son. "He's the greatest player in Timberwolves history."
"Then why isn't he a Timberwolf anymore?" the kid asked.
The first quote you see above was from Sunday night, which contrasted almost directly to Garnett's Minnesota welcome. Garnett had just received a tribute video, a raucous welcome and a heartfelt, noisy thank you from the Boston crowd in the first visit Brooklyn paid to the Celtics since Garnett and Paul Pierce were traded. No one in Boston's crowd was there to see Jared Sullinger or Jeff Green on Sunday. Everybody was there to say thank you to their departed heroes.
The contrast was blatant, and a large part of it can certainly be explained away by the time between Garnett's tenures in Minnesota and Boston. The departure was fresh for Celtics fans, six years old for Minnesotans. There is no love lost for Wolves fans, just significantly more time passed.
But there's more than that at play here. Timberwolves fans will be the first to tell you that the front office was a mess during the David Kahn years, and that turmoil extended back to Garnett's final seasons with Kevin McHale. The Wolves failed to surround Garnett with satisfactory pieces, and he asked to be traded. Minnesota obliged, but there was still some bad blood between Garnett and the front office — after he left, Glen Taylor accused Garnett of shutting it down and "tanking it" for the end of the season, and Garnett in turn suggested that although he loved Minnesota's fans, he still had issues with how the front office operated. "This is for everyone in 'Sota!" he screamed after winning the 2008 championship, but it's a fair guess to say "everyone in 'Sota" didn't include Glen Taylor and posse.
Sports fans tend to place a lot of value on, well, sports fans, because what else do we have? We can't reject Blake Griffin's dunk, but we can waive our hands around and try to mess with DeAndre Jordan's free throws. Fans can scream loudly for their favorite players and express approval and adoration for their play. They can, in short, make a player feel welcome — like the place they work is also a place they can call home. Timberwolves fans inarguably did that for Garnett, but the front office clearly didn't. Thus, "Minnesota wasn't like this." Garnett is extremely intelligent. He recognized and appreciated the distinction, that there's only so much fans can do.
Unless your Twitter and Facebook accounts have been suspended, you probably saw the fervor surrounding Richard Sherman after the NFC championship game Sunday. The national media jumped down Sherman's throat after his now-famous outburst in which he called Michael Crabtree "a sorry receiver," but then the media as a whole — to its credit — seemed to gain some perspective and realize the underlying racial issues at the heart of its criticism.
Kevin Garnett, like Richard Sherman, was coming off one of the most emotional games of his life. The highs (the tribute, the introductions, the steal and dunk to win the game) were so high, and the underlying lows (the undeniable onset of age, the failing of his professional abilities) were so low, he would be excused for saying something he didn't mean, especially in such a throwaway line such as this one. Garnett wanted Celtics fans and reporters to take note: He loved Boston. The phrasing, especially out of context, may sound negative, but it sounded more like he meant to praise Boston than rip on the Timberwolves. Nevertheless, it's a pretty clear indicator that something was wrong with the front office when Garnett was here, and it's something he still carries with him.
That's the challenge Minnesota faces with Love as his contract winds down. The front office needs to make Love, and any other star free agent they try to employ, feel like he is welcome, that this is a place he can call home.
After all, as fans, there's only so much we can do.

Comments about Ascent Kickstand:
One of my wires runs under the bottom of the bike where this stand mounts. My fault for not checking, so I did not install it. No adjustment so you would have to cut the stand with a hacksaw to size it.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Not being a bike person, I had no idea what to buy. The description of this item and the listing online provided nothing what-so-ever in the way of assistance on what type of bike this could be used on. I got it for a hybrid I purchased on this site and it won't work. It's basically a long, skinny paper weight. Here's an idea: set up your site to help people instead of assuming everyone knows bikes and their components.

About Me Avid Cyclist
Doesn't fit my bike- too long. I could cut it to the right length but I'm not going to do it. The plastic end piece won't go on. I even tried using a hammer but it didn't work. I think I will get a black kick stand since my bike is black.
Works Well
By Rides with kids
from Castro Valley, CA
I have purchased several of these over the years. They work well with a nice spring action. I started putting them on some of my nicer bikes because I am tired of trying to find a tree to lean on. They are relatively light since they are made of aluminum.
A pleasure to mount and use.
By Hawkeye
from Brewster Ma
I like the slots for cutting. I like the foot, which applied easily after I filed the end. The foot makes it possible to stand the bike on a gravel surface. The stand has a nice feel when kicking it up or down.
Perfect choice for my 29er.

About Me Commuter
Bought the kickstand for my commute bicycle. it is very sturdy, light weight for its size. I actually have had three of theses. I have installed this kickstand on other bicycles I have purchased for family members. The issue is not the aluminum construction or design but the plastic end piece, it is easily broken when installing. Other than this misfortunate characteristic it is an excellent product.
poor design and/or poor quality control

black plastic "shoe" for the base of the stand was not even close to fitting > broke in the process -- will work without it though

Canvases of various sizes crowded the walls and floor of Agustí Puig's studio. Arms folded across his chest, he stood in the middle of them. Behind him, his artwork exploded with color and bold lines. He seemed nervous in the unaccustomed role of model as I watched him through my camera's viewfinder.
I had come to Barcelona, one of the world's great art centers, to tour and touch and taste the exuberance of a place known for sensory overload a century after Antoni Gaudí and the Modernistas turned this seaside Mediterranean city into one of Europe's most charming centers.
Visitors strolling its wide boulevards find much to admire in its history, food and Catalan culture. But at its heart, Barcelona is a place where art and architecture rule. And so I plotted an itinerary that would let me see it through the eyes of its artists.
That's how I wound up at the three-story studio of Puig, an internationally prominent Spanish painter, sculptor and printmaker known for his abstract, figurative style.
He's also known for his close encounter with Hollywood: Puig's studio and paintings were featured in Woody Allen's film " Vicky Cristina Barcelona." Penélope Cruz, who won a supporting actress Oscar for her role as an artist, became Puig's student before the film was shot, visiting his studio to learn how to paint in his forceful, energetic manner so she could emulate his style.
Now it was my turn to become his student, if only for a moment. Puig showed me around his studio, a former textile mill, and we talked about Pablo Picasso, who moved to Barcelona in 1895 when he was a teenager and was Puig's inspiration. We also talked about Puig's fondness for Barcelona's liveliness and artistic culture.
While he talked, I photographed him. He tried to ignore the camera, but it made him nervous.
Suddenly, he threw a blank canvas on the floor and said, "Let me show you how I work."
Released from his role, he relaxed, splashing white and black paint on the canvas, then etching fine lines onto it.
Within a couple of minutes, he was done. I put down the camera, looked at the canvas and gasped. He had created a figurative painting of a man and a woman in the time it would have taken me to sharpen a couple of colored pencils.
"When I start a painting, I never know how it will turn out," Puig said, smiling at my surprise. "The worst enemy of a painter is to be bored with his work."
Gallery owner Robin Reiners didn't seem surprised when I later told her about Puig's demonstration.
"He's so full of energy and spontaneity when he works," said Reiners, who owns Gallery DeNovo in Sun Valley, Idaho, which represents Puig and several other Spanish artists in the United States. "It's a very physical way of painting."
Inspired by Puig's inspiration, I visited the Museu Picasso which pays homage to the 20th century's most acclaimed artist. The 3,800 works chart Picasso's early years, including paintings from his Blue and Rose periods.
I browsed through the galleries, pausing in front of masterful portraits painted by Picasso as a teenager: his mother, his Aunt Pepa, a man in a beret. The shapes were round and soft and life-like, a classical style much different from his later square, hard Cubist approach.
Much of his fame grew from those later colorful and imaginative works, but the Barcelona museum gave me a chance to discover the artist as he was discovering himself. The only down side: It displays few well-known works, most of which are with collectors or in the world's major museums.
When I finished my tour, I spent a little time admiring the museum itself and its leafy courtyards; the complex occupies five beautifully renovated medieval palaces dating from the 8th to 14th centuries.
Then I walked several blocks to reach my next goal, the sleek Museu d' Art Contemporani de Barcelona (the Barcelona Contemporary Museum of Art), to catch a look at the work of internationally known modern artists such as Barcelona painter Antoni Tàpies. The glass-fronted building, designed by Getty Center architect Richard Meier, features revolving exhibits, so check before you go. I was disappointed in the show on display during my visit, but a solo exhibition of work by California artist John Baldessari began shortly thereafter (and continues through April 25).
By the time I emerged, the sunny morning had turned into a cloudy, chilly afternoon. I buttoned my coat and wished I had an umbrella. It was January, and the sky seemed unpredictable. Should I abandon my plans and retreat to the apartment I had rented with a friend?
Barcelona's artistic side

Ahh... Paul, Why did you have to leave us? Why did you have to die?
Monday, Sep. 13, 2010
Ahh...Paul! Why did you have to leave us? Why did you have to die? Hearing the sad news today has put me in mind of the aching Irish melancholy felt all over Ireland after the murder by Cromwell's agents of the beloved Irish Chieftain, Owen Roe O'Neill: "Sagest in the council was he, kindest in the Hall: Sure we never won a battle - 'twas Owen won them all. Soft as woman's was your voice, O'Neill, bright was your eye. Oh! why did you leave us, Owen? Why did you die Your troubles are all over, you're at rest with God on high: But we're slaves, and we're orphans, Owen! - why did you die? We're sheep without a shepherd, when the snow shuts out the sky - Oh! why did you leave us, Owen? Why did you die?" Rest in peace my good and gentle priest and thank you for oh so much!

Here's my column that appears in the York Sunday News today.
When I go to a party and meet someone new, the conversation eventually turns to our jobs.
I tell them about being a newspaper editor and the various social networking accounts my staff maintains and the magazines we produce and the blogs we write and the e-newsletters we send and the websites we oversee and the forums we participate in and the mobile apps we help develop and on and on.
They tilt their heads slightly and scrunch their eyes. I can tell they're confused. The newspaper, after all, is a print product, the traditional way companies have conveyed news and information. And a lot of what I tell them we do involves new and emerging technology with no print piece. The conversation usually goes something like this.
Person: But I thought you said you work for a newspaper.
Me: I did.
Person: But what does tweeting and posting and blogging and all of that other stuff have to do with the newspaper?
Me: A lot. Here, let me explain.
This is where I tell them that we are no longer only a daily newspaper, we are a media company, and printing a newspaper is just one of the many things we do. We also publish a home magazine, a women's magazine, an entertainment guide and four weeklies tailored to specific areas of the county. We operate Twitter and Facebook accounts, maintain blogs, develop smart phone apps, produce videos, oversee various websites, and the list goes on.
Whenever I have this conversation, the person is surprised, not only by the wealth of technology we use to do our jobs but also by the variety of platforms through which we deliver the news and information we gather.
You want to get your news on your smartphone? No problem, just download our free YDR mobile app.
Want to "talk" with others about food-related topics? I know just the place that will provide the robust community you seek — our Letseatpa Facebook page.
Missed Friday night's championship game and the big play everyone's talking about? Log onto GameTimePa.com and watch the video.
It's our job as a media company to deliver the content you want in whatever way you want to receive it. For some, that's the traditional newspaper, which remains an essential part of what we do. For others, it's the mobile app or the website or a combination thereof. And, for still others, it might be a Facebook page or Twitter feed or blog.
Part of my job as social media coordinator is to make you and others aware of our offerings so that you keep informed and able to make the best choices for your lifestyle.
If you're always on the go and want the latest local news and prep sports scores at your fingertips, it's clear that our mobile apps are for you. If you want to interact with others who have similar interests, our Facebook pages will meet your needs. And, yes, if you want to relax on the easy chair next to the flickering fire and read your newspaper, that works for us.
The newspaper industry has changed significantly since I started in this business. Technology has allowed us to connect with people in ways I never would have dreamed possible. It's exciting to be part of this evolution and to be part of finding new and better ways to serve our readers.
About this blogHi! I'm Buffy. I'm not a vampire slayer but I do love sinking my teeth into social media -- from Facebook to Foursquare. I hope you join me as I explore the digital landscape and have some fun along the way.

Clinical/Regulatory Update
Alfacell has completed patient enrollment in a confirmatory Phase IIIb clinical trial for ONCONASE in patients suffering from unresectable malignant mesothelioma (UMM) and reached the required number of evaluable events to conduct the formal statistical analyses required to complete the final sections of the ONCONASE rolling NDA. As the company has previously reported, the results of the preliminary statistical analysis of the data did not meet statistical significance for the primary endpoint of survival in UMM. However, a statistically significant improvement in survival was seen in the treatment of UMM patients who failed one prior chemotherapy regimen, a pre-defined primary data set for this sub-group of patients in the trial, which represents a currently unmet medical need. Alfacell has requested a pre-NDA meeting with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to discuss the details of the planned NDA submission. The company continues to estimate that the final components of the rolling NDA will be submitted by the end of 2008, and the company plans to present the results of the Phase IIIb trial at an upcoming scientific conference in 2009.
The company has completed enrollment in its Phase I clinical trials for
patients suffering from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and other solid
tumors and is planning for a follow-on Phase II clinical trial in NSCLC
patients that exhibit resistance to platinum based chemotherapy regimens.
Initiation of patient enrollment in this tria

GFI Software experts have come across an interesting spam email this week. It purports to come from the New York Division of Unemployment Assistance and it's entitled "Action Required - Time Sensitive Material."
The emails read something like this:
"A former employee(s) of your company or organization recently filed a claim for benefits with the New York Division of Unemployment Assistance (DUA).
In order to process this claim, DUA needs information about each former employee. You are requested to: Provide Wage and Separation information (Form 1062/1074) And/Or Provide Separation Pay Information.
If you do not provide this information, you may lose your right to appeal any determination made on the claim. To provide this information electronically, please log-in to the qUIk Response System web2.detma.org/UIDET/AAA/Employer/QKRS_E01_IssueSummary.aspx on the DUA website and complete any outstanding forms."
The link in the email doesn't point to the New York Department of Labor, nor any other legitimate unemployment service. Instead, it leads victims to a site that's designed to serve visitors ZeuS – a piece of malware that specializes in stealing sensitive information from computers.
Beware of such emails. If you come across one, delete it or report it to the proper authorities.

text: West Virginia's mascot, The Mountaineer, aka grad student Jonathan Kimble, emerged as the hit on the opening of the Big 12 Media Days. Outfitted in a coonskin cap, buckskin garb and toting a real musket, Kimble chatted up everyone from players to cheerleaders to the media and even fired a shot — verbal — at OU's Bob Stoops. Kimble is entering his first year as The Mountaineer, after winning a grueling competition of 40 or 50 contenders in a process that involves an application, an extensive interview and finally a cheer-off. The beard, already in place, might have helped him land the gig, but wasn't required. While his team wasn't due in town until Tuesday, Kimble's lively interaction — he's the only league mascot who talks — and involvement Monday definitely served as a warm relation-builder for a program considered an outsider.

The story so farI grew up in Dubuque, Iowa. We got a power boat in 1960, when I was four; so we have a long history as river rats. In the 70's, our interests turned to more fossil-fuel-free activities, and the 16' Larson went away. Canoes were the next thing for us.
I learned to sail through the University of Iowa Sailing Club in the mid to late '70s on Flying Juniors, Lasers, a Windsurfer, Hobie 16, and the occasional outing on a member's personal M-20. Sadly, I never did get out on the club's 2 E scows, which were "in process" much of the time. Lots of good days on Lake MacBride.
On leaving Iowa, I had to content myself with trips home & sailing the Mississippi on my brother Kevin's O'Day Mariner and, later, Precision 23.
In 1985, after moving to Minneapolis, I bought an all wood, 1971 Melges M-16 scow. In October of 2005, married w/child, we bought a 1973 Ensenada 20.

The state says $500,000 has been released to improve the Lana'i Community Health Center.
The money was set aside by state lawmakers last session to go toward the construction of the new facility.
The center serves nearly 1,200 patients, which is approximately 40 percent of the island's estimated population.
State officials say the new facility will be located in the heart of Lanai City and will be nearly five times larger than the existing one.
"My colleagues and I worked hard to secure the $500,000 in the state budget to help fund the LCHC project. The people of Lana'i deserve a new center in a prime location to provide better access for those who need these types of necessary healthcare and dental services," said Sen. J. Kalani English. "With its larger design in a central location, more people in this remote area will receive care from top-notch professionals."

I'm thinking about playing TDM with some friends again. In the past we played some TDM, but we had no clue how to play it (we were all completely new to this game), so that caused some disappointments, miscommunication, etc... And honestly I still have no clue how to play TDM. On streams you rarely follow 1 person throughout the game, and it usually looks rather chaotic, while such good teams surely have some systematics.
I couldn't find a TDM guide, but I have picked up some clues in the past, but I don't know the complete picture:
- Does everyone in the team cover a specific part of the map (like an item to control)?
- But that seems rigid to me, if one person faces 2 enemies on his spot constantly, he can only fail for 20 minutes.
- Or does the team only focus on a few items (red armor, mega, quad?), and approach those each time in groups? Without any1 having a designated spot?
- How do you communicate in general, what type of stuff should you mention. From my experience the communication often becomes way too chaotic, if everyone is talking about items or frags being taken of lost.
- But I personally find it the hardest (even in CA), to decide when to choose for my own survival, or when to sacrifice myself for the team. I tend to sacrifice myself a lot of times, trying to help someone on the map, but in the end I think it costs the team more than if I would try to stay alive.
Any suggestions are welcome

Energy prices continued to tumble Aug. 3, with front-month US benchmark crude futures dropping below $92/bbl amid continuing fears of a faltering global economy.
In Houston, analysts at Raymond James & Associates Inc. reported, "Weighed down by the fall in crude and milder forecasts, natural gas also posted a loss, closing down 1.5%."
Reformulated blend stock for oxygenate blending (RBOB) was a loss leader in the New York market after the Energy Information Administration reported a larger-than-expected build of that inventory in the week ended July 29.
James Zhang at Standard New York Securities Inc., the Standard Bank Group, said, "Distillates fared better on strong Asia market following the shutdown of the Taiwan's Formosa group's 540,000 b/d refinery" in Mailiao.
Market Report Co., Moscow, said Taiwan's Formosa group also shut in its adjacent 520,000 tonne/year Group II base oil plant because of a fire at a propylene pipeline at the end of July. Shutdown of the base oil unit forced the company to cancel all term and spot base oil shipments scheduled to load after the first week of August.
US inventories
Commercial US crude inventories increased 1 million bbl to 355 million bbl in the week ended July 29, said EIA officials. That was well below the Wall Street consensus of 2.3 million bbl based on deliveries of crude earlier sold from the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Yet it raised stocks above the average level for this time of year. Gasoline inventories rose 1.7 million bbl to 215.2 bbl last week, exceeding analysts' expectations of a 1 million bbl gain. Finished gasoline inventories decreased while blending components inventories increased. Distillate fuel inventories inched up just 400,000 bbl to 152.3 million bbl, far short of market anticipation for a 3.4 million bbl build (OGJ Online, Aug. 3, 2011).
EIA subsequently reported the injection of 44 bcf of natural gas into US underground storage in the week ended July 29. That increased working gas in storage to 2.758 tcf, down 186 bcf from year-ago level and 68 bcf below the 5-year average.
The latest EIA data "continue to show a US market very well supplied," said Olivier Jakob at Petromatrix in Zug, Switzerland. However, he said, "The US oil fundamental data are not enough to counter any negative influence of the global markets."
He noted, "Crude oil only had a marginal stock build, and that includes a 4.5 million bbl transfer from SPR to commercial stocks. If the crude oil stocks on the US Gulf Coast continue to build towards record high levels due to the SPR releases, the crude oil stocks in the Midwest and Cushing, Okla., are coming off as refineries in the Midwest continue to run at full throttle to maximize on the exceptional refining margins based on West Texas Intermediate. It is easier to transport oil products by truck than crude oil."
Jakob said, "On the 4-week average, implied US gasoline demand is down 3.6% vs. last year while distillate demand is down 0.7%. Overall, the US implied demand for clean petroleum products is down, on the 4-week average, 2.6% vs. last year and still trending down to the levels of 2009."
In London, the ICE gas oil structure strengthened as the September-December spreads "moved into a small backwardation this morning," said Zhang. "The European middle distillate crack gained around $1/bbl yesterday, which pushed European refining margins higher."
The US Labor Department said Aug. 4 that initial applications for unemployment benefits edged slightly lower last week, down 1,000 to a seasonally adjusted 400,000—the lowest level in 4 months.
Some see that as a sign of slow improvement in the US job market from an 8-month high of 478,000 applications in April. But the report does not include how many unemployed people have used up their benefits and dropped off the government roll or how many may simply have given up the search for nonexistent jobs. Meanwhile, the number of first-time applications for unemployment benefits the previous week was revised up by government officials to 401,000 from the previously reported 398,000. Officials said weekly applications have hovered around 400,000 for 17 weeks.
The government is scheduled to release July employment figures Aug. 5. However, analysts generally expect the unemployment rate to be unchanged at 9.2%.
'Currency wars'
In other news, Jakob said, "The currency wars are continuing. Japan decided overnight for direct intervention to sell the yen, a move that will ridicule the action of the Swiss National Bank and might actually force the SNB to do something more real."
The Swiss central bank cut interest rates "as close to zero as possible" from 0.25% and said it will increase the supply of francs to money markets to curb the "massively overvalued" currency, the Bloomberg news service reported. As the European debt crisis has deteriorated in the last 2 months, the Swiss franc has surged 10% against the euro as a safe investment haven, impeding Swiss exports and economic growth.
For the next 5 days as the European Central Bank and the US Federal Reserve independently analyze their economic policies, Jakob said, "Oil should be more about the big macro-economic picture than about the micro-oil fundamental details."
Jakob said, "Financial institutions continue to revise their third quarter gross domestic product numbers lower, and it will take greater imagination to have the forecasting department at the same time . . . calling for crude oil (Brent or Light Louisiana Sweet) to trade at $130/bbl. Even Barclays [Capital, the investment banking division of Barclays PLC], a perma-bull, is forced into revising down its forecast for oil demand growth for 2011. The revisions will come with the necessary line that 'no one could anticipate that the economy would slow down that much;' the reality, however, remains that high oil prices do have an impact on the global economy."
Weather-wise, most forecasting models "continue to show Emily traveling towards the East Coast, although it still has to interact with land over Haiti," Jakob said.
Energy prices
The September contract for benchmark US sweet, light crudes dropped $1.86 to $91.93/bbl Aug. 3 on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The October contract lost $1.87 to $92.33/bbl. On the US spot market, WTI at Cushing was down $1.86 to $91.93/bbl.
Heating oil for September delivery declined 7.27¢ to $3.02/gal on NYMEX. RBOB for the same month fell 10.6¢ to $2.93/gal.
The September contract for natural gas decreased 6.5¢ to $4.09/MMbtu on NYMEX. On the US spot market, gas at Henry Hub, La., inched up 0.6¢ to $4.26/MMbtu.
In London, the September IPE contract for North Sea Brent dropped $3.23 to $113.23/bbl. Gas oil for August was down $13.25 to $954.25/tonne.The average price for the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries' basket of 12 benchmark crudes lost $1.30 to $110.55/bbl.

A dynamic and entrepreneurial group have set up a new company called the Hartington Creamery and have found some suitable barns in the Parish of Hartington which have been converted to a small scale cheese factory.
The five individuals are passionate about cheese making and keeping cheese production alive in Hartington and the county of Derbyshire as there has been no cheese made on a large scale in the County since the closure of the Long Clawson Hartington Dairy in May 2009.
Two of the team are renowned cheese makers, two are the owners of the Hartington Cheese Shop and the fifth member of the team owns The Cheese Factor, a well established cheese shop in Chesterfield.
For more information contact us through the link on our "Contact us" page.
Hartington Creamery has been supported through LEADER in the Peak District Rural Action Zone, part of the Rural Development Programme for England, which is jointly funded by Defra and the European Union, and is delivered by Derby and Derbyshire Economic Partnership.

Warwickshire will play county rivals Essex and Hampshire on their pre-season tour of Barbados in March.
They are among five counties who have opted to prepare for the earliest-ever start to the County Championship season with some warm weather training in the Caribbean and they have pencilled in a two-day match against Essex and a 40-over contest against Hampshire during their two-week trip.
Warwickshire will also play hosts Barbados in a floodlit Twenty20 match during their tour which will start on March 15 and end on March 30.
The county also intend to play a pre-season friendly against Leicestershire at Grace Road when they return to England. They miss out on the opening round of County Championship matches, which start on April 8, but will play a first-class friendly against Durham MCCU at Durham, starting on April 9.
Ashley Giles, Warwickshire's director of cricket, intends to take his full playing squad to the Caribbean though he is likely to be missing five key players.
Batsmen Ian Bell and Jonathan Trott will be on World Cup duty with England and opening batsman Will Porterfield, a winter recruit from Gloucestershire, and paceman Boyd Rankin will be playing for Ireland in the same tournament.
All-rounder Chris Woakes has been named in England's preliminary World Cup squad but if he misses the final cut he will link up with the England Lions squad who will be competing in the West Indies domestic first-class competition.

Severn-Lamb joins CCG
Severn-Lamb, the UK-based specialist light urban and leisure transport systems manufacturer, has joined the Clifton Cowley Group (CCG) in a move that will enable the company to further develop and grow as it combines its existing design, engineering and manufacturing skills with the larger organisation's widespread expertise.
CCG is a group of technology, intellectual property, engineering, manufacturing, design, chartered accountancy and marketing specialists who work to develop and grow innovative ventures. The group invests-in and develops their portfolio companies with a focus on servicing technology businesses.
In Severn-Lamb's case, the new partnership has brought numerous benefits to both the company itself and its global client base.
It has enabled an extension of the products and services on offer while also providing Severn-Lamb with the opportunity to collaborate with an engineering consultancy company, as well as taking advantage of in-house marketing capabilities, additional funding resources and all the additional benefits that come with being involved in a diverse group.
"Joining the Clifton Cowley Group has been a significant move for Severn-Lamb," said managing director, Patrick Severn Lamb, "We have quickly seen a variety of benefits in being involved with them, as will our clients. The group incorporates a number of companies, several with unique skills and expertise, and we have been able to make use of these as part of the group."

These no bake cashew banana chocolate chip bites are delicious for a quick snack. Keep them frozen and enjoy one straight from the freezer.
Wednesday is a cross training day. I spent an hour on the bike yesterday. Some of my random thoughts & observations during that time:
1. 15 mph is fast enough that when a bug flies into your mouth it will be forced to the back of your throat and make you choke.
2. People that obliviously take up the entire width of the bike trail make me want to purposely run them over. It's called karma.
3. I'd love to know what men in cars who yell out vulgar obscenities to woman as they drive by actually expect. A witty response? A proposition? Enlighten me, please.
4. Like most of Maroon 5's songs, Moves Like Jagger annoys the hell out of me.
5. I get a weird sense of satisfaction booking it by runners when I'm going more than twice their speed on the bike. Odd, considering I'm usually the runner.
6. I wish duathlons were more popular. I'd totally do one.
7. 24 squats, 12 lunges, 12 jumping lunges & 12 jumping squats [x2] is one sick, torturous way to end a strength training session. If you want to be able to move the next day, I don't suggest it.
8. Cashew Banana Chocolate Chip Bites make a damn good snack.
These were an experiment. I wanted something like these and these but with a twist. So, I went for banana.
Here's a newsflash for you: bananas are moist. Moist makes a no-bake dough ball interesting. And by interesting, I mean wet. And now I just used the words "moist" and "wet" in back to back sentences. *Cringe*
The solution? Freeze them! Worked like a charm. So well in fact, that I'm giving you the recipe because for awhile there in the beginning, it was doubtful this one was making it up here.
- ½ cup plain cashews
- ¼ cup oats
- ⅛ cup almonds
- ½ small banana
- 3 teaspoons agave
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup chocolate chips
- Combine cashews, oats & almonds in a food processor and pulse until coarsely ground.
- Add remaining ingredients except chocolate chips and pulse until combined.
- Transfer "dough" to a small bowl and fold in chocolate chips.
- Mixture will be wet.
- Freeze mixture in bowl for about 10-15 minutes.
- Once dough has firmed up, roll into small balls.
- Keep frozen in freezer bag until ready to eat.
Tell me something random you think about when working out?
I'd love any and all thoughts on #3!
Ever have what you thought was a kitchen flop turn into a total success?

Oh man, I love Maroon 5. I actually enjoy putting their albums on repeat to run to. Funny how we all have our "thing" :)
I've always wondered what the hollering dudes are looking for in return. Maybe some day I'll get annoyed enough to ask one of them.
Umm…those chocolate chip bites look amazing! I would eat the crap out of them. I'm not sure I want to try to make them because "eating them all in one sitting" is what's going through my head right now.
I've never even heard of a duathon before and I had to look it up. Sounds like my cup of tea! I am NOT a strong swimmer :(
Haha and in regards to #3, I think this all the time! Do they really expect us to say "Oh, you like me? Lets go out sometime!" ? That is not exactly the best way to pick up a girl haaha
Oooh, these look like the perfect snack!! Yum!!
Haha…Maroon 5 gets on my nerves too :-)
No clue what men expect — I think sometimes they do it just to annoy people. I don't get it either though!
I am ashamed to say I kind of like Moves Like Jagger. I HATED it at first but it has grown on me. We'll see how long that lasts.
Yeah, Maroon 5 sucks.
Some random thoughts for you – bugs surprisingly have a very nasty taste to them; I think you need to move back to CT so I can eat these delicious treats.
when they yell lewd things at me, I like to pretend to be a gypsy and put a spell on them. Or I just give them the finger. I'll let you imagine what I really do.
OMG #3 – BIGGEST PEEVE EVER! It's like what do these guys expect? For me to go running after their car shouting "TAKE ME NOW" or something ridiculous? Like I've been waiting my ENTIRE life for that guy to scream some vulgar comment out his window so I could go jump into bed with him? I mean really. Haha, sorry – clearly this one gets me fired up ;-)
#4 speaks to me. That song makes me want to smash my radio.
I've often wondered about #3, too.
You know what's worse than #2? Bikers that don't use the bike lane at all and spread four across the lane of a main road backing up traffic. My car is deadly, move it before I make an example of you! :)
Ha, I was just going to say #3 baffles me as well. Sorry – no answers here!
Thanks for the recipe. I usually don't make sweets, but I think that would be a great use for my extra cashews and bag of Reese's Pieces currently collecting dust in the pantry.
Those cashew balls look amazing, would have never though to include a banana, how delicious! :D
Haha…I'm actually a fan of Moves Like Jagger! Some of their songs definitely do annoy me, but I enjoy this one.
I don't get why guys catcall either! I can't imagine it worked for them in the past.
Looks like a great snak, I spent one one per day riding bike :)
When I run I imagine how amazing it will feel to cross the finish line of my first half…. it gives me a total rush!!
Men that yell ridiculous vulgarities at women drivers are just clueless haha I don;t think THEY even know what to expect and have an inflated sense of awesomeness. Don't you just want to burst those bubbles sometimes? haha
Once I completely butchers cutting up these ultra gooey brownies I was bringing to a party… so I just rolled up brownie balls… they looked totally intentional! They were awesome!!! And fun to freeze :)
I was like ummm… recipe?? When I first saw the balls…they look so good:) I love that you added actual banana to them.
I would totally join you for a duathlon. Maybe you should get a bell or horn on your bike so you can honk right back at them. That would surprise them.
I share your excitement at passing runners.
Seriously I usually think how many Calories I will eat when I get home and if it's really worth working out at all :)
I know it makes me happy, but if I eat twice as much when I get home, well, it doesn't really make my butt any better. :)
Gina – these sound so yummy! And the ingredient list is perfect for a last minute snack.
Hartford Marathon group has some good races. You're not that far away:) They have the
Ten Penny Ale Shamrock Duathlon & 5K. You can bike/run, I will run the 5K. It's not till May.
What does "1/4 cup tablespoons oats" mean? Thanks.
Love these! Got lots of bananas to use up and need to eat gluten free…..these PERFECT~

With the RTW (release to web) deadline for Internet Explorer 9 now closer than ever, Microsoft has published the results of a new comparison between the next major iteration of IE and rival browsers.
This time around, the software giant used one of the hardware acceleration tests available to the public on the IE Test Drive site in order to highlight the gap between IE9 and rival next generation browsers.
"Santa's Workshop uses many emerging HTML5 and SVG patterns, including SVG DOM manipulation, applying transforms to groups of SVG elements, and playing background music through the HTML5 audio tag."
The company put time and again a strong emphasis on the fact that IE9 is fully hardware accelerated, covering video, audio and graphics content. It also pointed out that rivals such as Mozilla, Google and Apple choose to use the GPU to render only certain examples of content.
A Dell Laptop was used for the test, packing a 2.26 GHz Intel Core i3, 4GB RAM, a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260M graphics card, 250GB 7200 RPM drive, and running Windows 7.
Internet Explorer 9 RC was used for the Santa's Workshop test, with the Build capable of going as high as 50 elves and no less than 238 presents per minute.
Chrome 11 Canary was runner up, but it only managed to deliver 30% of the quantity of presents that IE9 achieved.
"With Google Chrome 11 we can only achieve 15 elves packing 71 presents per minute. When we look at the CPU, GPU, and updates we see that Google Chrome 11 is essentially using the same amount of machine resources as Internet Explorer 9," McLaughlin said.
"Firefox 4 (Beta 12) now leverages hardware acceleration by default, however this most recent version of Firefox was only able to achieve 1 elf working and pack 4 presents per minute. In addition, the frame rate quickly fell to 13 frames per second. When we again look at the CPU, GPU, and updates charts you can see that Firefox's usage of the GPU is very sporadic," he added.
"Safari 5 did a bit better than Firefox 4 and was able to achieve one elf working and pack four presents per minute at a frame rate of 20fps. Here's how Safari uses the machines resources to animate the one elf around the screen."
Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) Release Candidate (RC) Build 9.0.8080.16413 is available for download here.

Each time after a public examination, there are always complaints lashed out at the examining body by parents, teachers and other educators either about question papers being too easy or questions set that were not in accordance with the syllabus.
This has happened over the past two years. It wasn't the case many years ago when everybody from the top down was serious about the whole examination process from the time the questions were prepared to the time they were administered and marked to the announcement of results. Even changes to the format were given due thought and announced a year or two ahead.
These days, changes are abrupt and sometimes the announcement of a change is made only a few months before the examination. When this happens, the questions set have to be made easy in order to hide our own planning inefficacy.
Examinations determine a person's choice of study and career later in life. As such, the examining body should carry out its duty properly. It is time we seriously looked not only into the setting of questions but also into the administering and marking of the scripts and the release of the results.
After 40 years of teaching English and having held portfolios as Master English Teacher, examiner and question designer, I fully agree with the complaints that parents, teachers and union representatives recently expressed about their apprehension and disappointment over the recent PMR English Language paper.
It is even more disappointing to note that in response to this, the Malaysian Examinations Syndicate (MES) got all defensive. I was flabbergasted when the MES claimed that the paper this year was of the same difficulty level as last year.
Out of curiosity, I administered this year's PMR paper to 22 students comprising four Standard 6 students (two from SRJK and two from SRK), eight Form 1 students and eight Form 2 students, some of whom had scored B or C in the UPSR.
To my surprise, the students obtained more than 34 correct answers. In fact, a student from an SK school (UPSR student) managed to get 37 correct answers.
How would you vouch for such a good performance? The answer is simple – the paper is EASY.
That was also the general opinion of these students. To add oil to fire, these students also completed Paper 1 in 30 minutes. If someone in Sarawak claimed that his or her students did not find the paper easy, then I would only blame the teaching and the preparation that went along in anticipation of the PMR Examination.
Without prejudice, I would like to express my personal views on this year's English paper:
In Paper 1, some of the questions should have been given more thought in order to exact a certain level of thinking and application skills. I would just like to highlight a few.
Question 1:
a. The question could have been effective without the picture.
b. However, if the evaluators think that the picture is important, then distractors A and D should have been reworded to relate them to "book" because "went to the library" and "came to the library late" do not match the act in the picture (librarian pointing to the book). This being the case, students could easily eliminate these two distractors right away.
Question 2:
The word "memo" can be misleading because in a standard memo pad, the word MEMO is printed. Moreover, it is wrong for a student to send a memo to a teacher in the hierarchy of communication. Instead of "memo", the word "note" would have been appropriate.
Compare this question with Question 6 in which the word "message" is appropriately used.
Question 9 (Vocabulary question):
The word "collided" used in the report is a verb. I suppose option A is the correct answer but it does not convey the exact meaning. The word "crashed" by itself would mean something different but with the preposition "to", the answer would have been very accurate.
Section D
I see the stimulus given for Questions 25–28 containing a few basic mistakes.
a. Let's have a lively Day!!!
Why is the letter 'D' in "Day" in upper case? Can someone clarify this?
b. Since "spelling bee", "drawing competition" and "lucky draw" are in noun forms, likewise "sing along" should have been hyphenated as "sing-along" or "sing-a-long" and "story telling" should have been "storytelling" to maintain consistency of usage.
Paper 2Section B
I was not happy with the rubric given for the summary question. "Rewrite" could mean "write it again ?" This actually confused a number of PMR students who I met after the English paper.
The evaluators/testers should have maintained the same rubric as was given in the sample format sent to schools at the beginning of the year.
The rubric could have been improved to read as follows:
"Rewrite by summarising the advantages of television to children ?"
I know the MES has an unprecedented task in preparing question papers, administering them and marking them but there is one important thing that would keep our public examinations recognised globally – that is, QUALITY.
In terms of administering a test, I would say kudos to the MES, but with regard to the setting of questions and the marking of examination scripts, I think the MES should seriously review the whole process, especially in appointing item/question designers and examiners. Only people specialised in the respective subjects and who have undergone exhaustive training and been appraised from time to time should be appointed.
From my own observation as an ex-English teacher, I know there are many appointees in relation to public examinations, especially English, who do not even have a basic degree in English/TESL/TEFL. I would not know the criteria used by the MES in their selection of designers of questions or examiners. My request to the MES is to update the profile of the people involved in the setting and marking of question papers. That should be treated as a priority.
You can't get a Chemistry, Maths or a Physical Education teacher to set English Language question papers or mark the candidates' scripts just because they can speak and understand English. The person involved must have a genuine diploma or degree in the subject concerned and must have gone through the various methods of testing and marking enhanced by years of committed teaching in the subject of their specialisation.
I know there are a handful of question designers and examiners who are given one class (probably a weak one) merely to comply with the MES's criteria that they should be teaching the subject. If someone is in the good books of the headmaster or principal, he or she gets appointed and the MES would not question the integrity of the headmaster or principal. The MES should therefore update their examiners' profiles.
If the MES is unable to get the adequate number of people, it is only right for them to recall retired people who are willing to contribute. I am sure there are many out there. In Britain, retired people are roped in to help handle examinations.
If we do this, I do not think that in future the issue of examination papers being easy, errors appearing in question papers and dubious standards of marking would become the core of annual complaints.
Let us uphold the integrity of our examination system. – Mindful

Wow, thank you all for the feedback. These posts are not making me feel any better at all. So the two symptoms that seem to be prominent are the cough getting worse at night, and the lingering on for weeks. Both of these symptoms seem strange and not very normal for the common winter bugs that we usually get. Most of the people around here that I have heard have it had their first symptoms in early December and have not yet really kicked it.
I'm wondering if anybody has heard anything about it as being formally named or identified as a virus or infection, it doesn't seem to be the flu, which is more expected at this time of year. I seem to have heard something about this year having more cases of pneumonia than previous ones. Maybe I will do some research and see what I can find out.

Can anyone confirm if the RR plugin only shows data when the vehicle is in motion?
The reason is because i cannot see any data from the RR plugin, but the data seems to show up on TPMS Dr. just fine. Right now the sensors are still in the box, haven't put them on yet.
I won't be able to test this out until i get my new rims on, which could be another couple more weeks.

About the Helicopters
The introduction of the incredible new ECO-Star represents another significant industry "first" from Hawaii's premiere helicopter tour company. But it is far more than that. It truly is the dawn of a new era in helicopter touring. Since the late 1980s, the American Eurocopter A-Star has been the tour helicopter of choice for professional tour operations worldwide. In Hawaii, it is the industry standard favored by all the top helicopter tour companies for its open cabin design that affords a 180º sweeping view for each passenger. This feature has been further enhanced in the revolutionary new American Eurocopter ECO-Star, the first touring helicopter of the 21st Century.

BaitBus: Straight men getting busy with gay sex.
What's going on guys. We picked up this really cute guy the other day. Poor thing he was all heart broken because his girlfriend was pregnant from another guy. It was sad, but we told him that Cameron could definitely cheer him up with the twins, you know her big ass tits. He got on the bus, and was a having a lovely time with Cameron all over him. She decided to take advantage of him and put a blindfold on him. Little did he know what was about to happen. His life would change forever. We were hoping to try and convert this guy, just like we did with the last one, but he was pretty straight, which made Jamie want him even more. We knew he was going to need some money to move out of his girlfriend's house. So we proposed the usual fuck him to get to her for $1500, he said no, but when we offered him $3000, he couldn't refuse. He fucked Jamie for a while, then when he was done we left him somewhere in Broward, we don't even know where it was. It was pretty funny.
i think it funny as hell LMAO
These people should be brought to law! nI HAVE EVERY INTENTION OF DOING JUST THAT - and throwing the book at them!
