Tallahassee, Fla.
"Well we like to say in the spring every thing that can has babies does," said Tallahassee animal control supervisor Jeff Doyle.
Spring has sprung and with it more kittens and puppies.
"Spring is a natural time for a lot of shelters to increase the number of animals coming in because it's breeding season," said Erika Leckington of the Tallahassee Animal Service Center.
She says you can't blame the extra animals on college students leaving for the summer.
"Well there's a common misconception that the college students are to blame for a lot of the stray animals that we have in Tallahassee."
However, not all animals are able to be housed at the shelter.
"They're not very adoptable animals you know it's not really the ideal situation for them to come to the shelter," said Doyle.

Today's birthday post is in honor of one of America's best-loved children's poets, Jack Prelutsky. Mr. Prelutsky has done as much (if not more) for children's poetry as Shel Silverstein. So today, September 8th, we celebrate this man and his poetry; if you're not familiar with his work, read on for more fun!
In 2006, the Poetry Foundation named Prelutsky the inaugural winner of the Children's Poet Laureate award. Awarded for a two-year tenure, the children's poet laureate aims to raise awareness that children have a natural receptivity to poetry and are its most appreciative audience, especially when poems are written specifically for them. This award has also been given to MaryAnn Hoberman and J. Patrick Lewis, with Ken Nesbitt serving as the current Children's Poet Laureate.
Most school-age children can't help but love "Bleezer's Ice Cream." Mr. Ebenezer Bleezer has flavors galore, with things like Tutti-Frutti Stewed Tomato and Tuna Taco Baked Potato. What's not to love about those combinations of flavor?! Other slightly wacky poems like "Ballad of a Boneless Chicken" and "Homework! O, Homework!" are included in a collection of poems entitled The New Kid of the Block. Mr. Prelutsky has also set his poems to music on the audio versions of his anthologies, including The New Kid on the Block, A Pizza the Size of the Sun, and Something Big Has Been Here. He often sings and plays guitar on most of them.
Author of over 50 books, a "greatest hits" anthology called Be Glad Your Nose is on Your Face, which is a compilation of his best work, came out in 2008 and features a CD with classic performances by the poet himself. Children and adults alike would enjoy reading or listening to any of these poems!

Where To Get Missing W-2 and 1099s Forms
Posted By Jim On 02/20/2007 @ 2:36 pm In Taxes | 14 Comments
If you're like me, you won't start thinking about taxes until maybe around April 1st, which is about a month and a half away; if you're not like me and are instead smarter, more responsible, and more organized, you've probably started thinking about doing your taxes already. Even if you're like me and won't want to do your taxes until April, it's important for you to make sure that you have all the forms you'll need for the big day. I don't mean IRS tax forms like a 1040, those you can get easily from irs.gov [3], the tax forms I'm referring to are all the 1099s and W-2s you should have already received from your employer, your banks, your brokerages, etc.
The deadline for your employer (or former employer) to mail out your W-2's for 2006 was January 31st so if you haven't received it yet then it was probably lost in the mail. If so, don't panic, just request that your employer send you a new copy (you might have to pay a fee, depending on how cheap your employer is) but it will take some time so it's important to make that request now rather than later. The W-2 form is really the only form you'll need to include with your return.
Now, if you can't get your employer to give you one (they're just not very nice), you can call the IRS for help at (800) 829-1040. If that doesn't yield any fruit (or you can't get a copy before the due date), the last resort is to use Form 4852, which is a substitute, and you have to show that you made a good effort at getting your W-2.
1099-INTs, MISCs, WHATEVERS, are all mailed out in the same time frame as the W-2s but there is one crucial difference between the W-2 and the 1099, you don't include the 1099 forms with your return. That information, just like the W-2, has already been reported to the IRS and so it's only for your use on your return (why this isn't the case with W-2s, who knows).
The rule of thumb is that anyone who has paid you over $600 this year will issue you a 1099, so if you haven't received it just call that person or company up and ask for a copy (if they want a fee, just have them tell you what they reported).
As for interest you've earned on deposits at banks, all banks will send you a 1099 if you earned more than $10 last year though they will report that amount regardless (Thanks Evan & Tom for the fix, you guys are right, my mind just skipped a beat on that one). Again, all you need to do is fill that information into the appropriate fields on your return, the form itself is unnecessary. If you haven't received 1099 from all of your accounts, you can usually download them from the bank's online website. Lately banks have been going the "all electronic" route so you'll have to log into your account and print it out yourself. If that isn't available, just stop on by a branch and ask for a printout.

DENVER – The Tuesday before Thanksgiving is a cold, rainy and miserable day.
The Midtown Sundries neon sign entices customers on N.C. 73 as it gently lights the restaurant. Upon entering the warm storefront, the dim luminescence and cozy tables beckon patrons to sit and stay awhile. Most will leave after talking to a friend or two with a full belly and a to-go box. Hence is the magic of this restaurant.
In 2003, Ken Moore wanted a career change. His job had so much travel that he couldn't enjoy life and his adopted hometown of Denver. So he started in the restaurant business, wanting to learn the ropes before opening up a place of his own.
On Sept. 8, 2008, he opened Midtown Sundries in Denver as part of the local chain. Moore had eaten at a Midtown Sundries before and liked both the food and the concept.
"People were so excited to have something new in the area," Moore said. "And my wife and I were so happy to be a larger part of the community."
Midtown Sundries manages to gently coax intimacy from a cavernous dining space. The ceilings are jet black and industrial with low hanging, jazzily colored lamps in the dead center of the restaurant, giving the room a more closed off feel. The bar is horseshoe-shaped and offers ample seating in high back chairs. The space can seat 289 people but feels as if it could only fit about 100.
The menu is huge. There is one whole page devoted to salads; it also offers pasta dishes, seafood, burgers, sandwiches, jumbo wings and desserts. With so much to choose from, customers often come again and again to try different items.
"The majority of people who come in here are regulars. In fact, some come in every single day" Moore said. "And most like multiple things on the menu."
There is much to love about the food at Midtown Sundries. The sauces, majority of salad dressings, soups and wing sauces are all homemade. Plus the chicken wings and ground beef are never frozen lending the freshest taste available.
There are also daily Blue Plate specials that offer huge amounts of food at a great value, such as London broil, meatloaf and pork chops.
Shelia Rogers, of Sherrills Ford, is a regular at Midtown Sundries, eating at the restaurant at least every other week.
"I just can't say enough about the jumbo wings," she said. "Trust me, my husband and I are picky about our wings and these here are the best."
She also said that the other menu items she's tried have all been absolutely wonderful and the service is amazing.
The restaurant is very family and community orientated. They offer a children's menu and are quick to make the little ones happy and comfortable. They also do many things for the community such as the Angel Tree in the entrance of the restaurant. On the tree were 40 names of underprivileged children and their holiday needs and wants.
"There are only two names left," said Moore proudly. "And we just put that tree up. Denver is just an amazing place."
Moore wants people to know that the restaurant has something for everyone. "From 8 years to 80 years, we have something for you to enjoy," he said. "Plus we offer a great value and huge portions."
An excellent price point and dining experience await customers in Denver.
Want to go? Midtown Sundries, 7296 N.C. 73, Denver, 704-822-1380.

Hi everybody! It's Bridget! Recently, I have been searching for fabulous Father's Day gift ideas for my darling hubby and just haven't found anything that I loved.
And since I'm always playing mamarazzi (as my nine-year old refers to it), I decided why not give him photographs of our most precious gifts! I loved the idea of using the large craft letters and have the kids each hold a letter to spell out "DAD," but since I hadn't made it to the craft store {gasp!} I made my kids BE the letters instead. And I thought the hardwood floors were the perfect backdrop.
In my digital scrap-booking software, I made a quick collage of the pictures with some masculine embellishments and next we'll frame in in a 12″ x 12″ metal photo panel — perfect for his desk. But you don't need my software for this project. With some fun paper and scrapbook supplies from your local craft store you can recreate this idea in minutes!
There was a lot of giggling and many, many outtakes, but the end result was share-worthy!

New Delhi, Actress Aishwarya Rai is down with a "chest infection" and "flu-like symptoms" and her father-in-law, Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan, is worried.
"Aishwarya has taken ill and is down with chest infection and flu like symptoms. She had a high fever yesterday, but is settling down today," he posted on his blog www.bigb.bigadda.com Saturday from Singapore.
"It's worrying to be so far away from children and not be there to look after them. Yes, they are mature and married and responsible, but children will always remain children," he added. Aishwarya is married to Bachchan's son Abhishek.
The 66-year-old veteran is in Singapore to look after his friend and Samajwadi Party chief Amar Singh, who underwent medical treatment there.
"I stay back till he (Amar Singh) is sound enough to travel back," he wrote.
Apparently Bachchan also is suffering from a "strained back".

Hello! been lurking around for a few weeks and finally decided to say Hi, as I'm picking up my bike tomorrow morning!
Getting it out of the way, I'm 6'4 and roughly 320lb =( I've always been active, playing sports in high school and college and regularly hitting the gym twice a week, I've always just been a big guy, even at my lightest I was always around 220-230.
Since joining the IT ranks of Corporate America, I've ballooned up and since last October I've been trying to get back into the swing of things. Going out on my lunch and what-nots I noticed there is a paved bike trail that travels right behind my work! So I looked into it and found out it actually drops off less then a mile from my house and goes right to work! It's about a 6 mile ride, and pretty flat, so not too bad!
I went to a few of my local bike shops and did some research for a few weeks, about what would be best suited for me and my needs, after test riding a dozen plus bikes and talking with them I decided on a Specialized Rockhopper Comp 29er, It was between that and the Trek Mamba, but Specialized being a local company, and hearing great things about their customer service is what tipped the scales in their favor.
I pick up the bike tomorrow morning and I can't wait! I feel like Xmas morning! Super excited to get out there and start riding, not just to work, but all around! If it's ok I'll try to post some pics when I get it!
Anyways, just wanted to drop in and say you might see me around here more often, this seems like a great community! Thanks!

The AbleGamers Charity announced that it raised $33,635.07 for Gamers with Disabilities at PAX East 2014 – the largest fundraising total to date, according to the charity. Pachinko for charity players, donors and corporate matching funds helped the charity hit that number during PAX East in Boston.
The number also represents more than double last year's total. Industry partners such as Paradox Interactive and Alex Rigopulos, CEO of Harmonix, generously offered matching funds for the first $12,500. Corporate sponsors like EA, Deep Silver, Uber Ent., Behemoth, and over two dozen others, gave prizes totaling $42,000.
"PAX East never ceases to amaze us with its generosity and community spirit," said Mark Barlet, Founder and Executive Director of the AbleGamers charity. "Every year we start out thinking there's no way we could top what we achieved the year before, and every year we do better than we could've imagined. We really owe such a debt of gratitude to our corporate sponsors for their life-changing donations, and even more so to the extremely giving crowd at PAX East. We're nothing without you."

Budget and Presidency partners
The total budget for Finland's EU Presidency was around €75 million. Some €38.5 million of this was for meetings, €26 million for staffing costs and €10.5 million for security.
The meeting budget covered not just the organising of the 140 or so meetings held in Finland but also costs relating to the setting up of the website, training for civil servants and the creation of the Presidency's visual look. The staffing budget paid for costs of the extra personnel employed at Government ministries and the Permanent Representation in Brussels, for the personnel of the Secretariat for Finland's EU Presidency, the 45-strong staff of EU Assistants, recruited for a two-year period, for travelling expenses and all additional hours worked.
The cost of each Presidency is met by the country holding it. When Finland last held the Presidency in 1999, the total cost amounted to some €64 million.
Finland's EU Presidency partners were: the Finnish Forest Foundation, Volvo Auto Oy Ab, Helsinki Water and Yleisradio Oy.

Dear esteemed fellow bloggers, I am about to embark on registration of a product in the form of a trademark. .
I know we have authors on the site,but do we have anyone who can offer personal experiences of registering a TM ?
Having done some research on the web I see there are in fact a number of different levels of TM… which is confusing.
The item I wish to register is not able to be patented because the principle of the product is not original….. even though the method of usage will be.
So I have already been down that route & have been advised by a patent lawyer to register a trademark.
Any experience or knowledge of this subject would be much appreciated .

2003 Real Street Eliminator - ContestWritten by Jeff Smith on September 1, 2003 Contributors: Car Craft Staff Enter The Shootout And Become A Hero
The spirit of competition is alive at Car Craft magazine. Way back in 1986, Car Craft created the inaugural Real Street Eliminator (RSE) that pitted street machines against each other and the clock. After languishing for a few years, the return of RSE last year coincided with Year One's Bristol Bash and became an instant success. This means for 2003 we're again looking for a few recognition-hungry gearhead types who are willing to put it all on the line for three days of gear-bashing tire abuse, and an overall good time.
The details look like this: We're looking for six cars to compete in this year's Car Craft Real Street Eliminator shootout that will be held in conjunction with the Bristol Bash sponsored by Year One on October 17-19, 2003. The competition will consist of four separate evaluations: dragstrip, autocross, a ride-and-drive run through the back roads of Tennessee, and a shown 'n' shine judging that will also weigh in the final evaluation of who wins. If you are unfamiliar with this event, check out our story on the return of RSE ("Real Street Eliminator Returns," Mar. '03, pg. 44). If you remember last year's event, Jeff Schwartz's unlikely '82 Cadillac stole the top prize by winning the 1,320 portion and combining consistent performance in the other categories to win by a scant 3 points (out of 270) over Bryan Cope's '70 Camaro. We expect this year's slugfest to be just as tight.
We're also putting out a special call to the Ford and Mopar guys out there. For those of you who care, we received no input from the Blue Oval camp last year, which was disappointing, especially considering all the whining we hear that the title of this magazine should be "Camaro Craft." You can't win if you don't show up! Keep in mind that this event also requires you to drive your car in the autocross and on the dragstrip. So unless you are conversant with the nuances of late apexes and trail braking, you'd better start practicing now. The beauty of RSE is that it tests both the car and the driver.
Consider your entry into RSE carefully. You will need to dedicate a total of three days to this competition, not including travel days to and from Bristol, Tennessee. Don't send us your entry unless you can dedicate that time and be willing to put it all on the line for fame and glory. This is your chance, so fill out the entry form, then mail it to: Real Street Eliminator, Car Craft Magazine, 6420 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90048. Your deadline for getting us your entry is Friday, August 29th. Sorry, we will not accept e-mail applications, so plan on entering now. Who knows, you might just be the '03 RSE champion. This is gonna be fun!

Brief History
I'll be 28 this summer and I've been losing hair since I was about 16. I started using minox at 19 and got great results, but quit when I was 22. My hair loss worsened so I got back on minox at around 23.5, but also threw finasteride into the mix. I got some results, but at that point, I guess the hair loss was more advanced and I didn't see the same results I saw in my earlier 20s, I pretty much stabilized around Norwood 2 with thinning in the Norwood 3 region. But I kept using the minox religiously and threw in copper pepptides in the foolish hope of returning to a strong Norwood 2 or even 1.5.
Current Situation
So at this point I'm a Norwood 2 to 2.5 with pretty heavy thinning in the Norwood 3 region, I'm pretty sure I'd be advanced Norwood 3 if not for treatments. In any event, I've accepted the fact that the minox and fin are only helping me maintain at this point and nothing short of a HT will bring back lost hair. So now, I'm thiking of switching to minox once a day. I've heard a lot of long term minox users have switched to once a day without any adverse effects. Also, I've gotten some bags under my eyes and my face is a little bloated. I've been using minox for almost 9 straight years so it's impossible to know whether this is due to age or if it's due to minox, in any event, I'd lke to cut back on putting chemicals in my body after such a long time.
Bottom Line
So please! Share your stories of switching from twice a day minox application to once a day.

Responding to ongoing problems at the Washington Healthplanfinder insurance exchange, state Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler on Monday instituted a limited special enrollment period for consumers who want to obtain coverage outside the exchange.
From Aug. 27 to Nov. 14, those who have had problems with enrolling or making payments through Healthplanfinder can enroll in coverage outside the exchange either by selecting a different plan with the same carrier or by changing carriers.
"This is a problem that has been around since the end of December," Kreidler said in an interview. "I am cautiously optimistic that the exchange is doing a much better job right now to resolve the problems, but there is no guarantee that they're going to be gone as we go into open enrollment."
Open enrollment for plans taking effect in 2015 begins Nov. 15.

Most Read Stories
It's not clear how many people are eligible for the special enrollment. The Office of the Insurance Commissioner (OIC) did not specify whether eligibility covers both those who have current account problems and those who had problems in the past.
According to the Washington Health Benefit Exchange, which manages Healthplanfinder, a manual audit of accounts has cleared up virtually all the known problems. "We currently don't have a large number of accounts still awaiting their payments to be distributed to the carriers," said exchange spokeswoman Bethany Frey.
Even if they are eligible for the special enrollment, the OIC pointed out, some consumers may find that choosing a plan outside the exchange may not be the best option. That's because those who leave the exchange cannot receive tax credits that help lower the cost of premiums. About 85 percent of those enrolled through the exchange receive tax credits, the OIC said.
Still, Kreidler said, even some consumers eligible for tax credits will appreciate the option to move outside the exchange. "We have had people contact us who are receiving subsidies saying, 'Please, I don't even want the subsidy. I just want to have an option. I don't want to spend the money for subsidized premium and get nothing for it,' " he said.
Those who choose to take advantage of the special enrollment period are required to select a plan from the same "metal level" — bronze, silver or gold — that they chose in the exchange. The metal levels differ in the coverage offered, deductibles and other criteria. Kreidler recommended that consumers who want to retain premium subsidies, but who are having payment problems should make the payments directly to insurance carriers without leaving the exchange. On Aug. 7, the OIC announced that consumers who choose to exercise this option must first call the Healthplanfinder customer-support center at 1-855-923-4633.
The exchange, in a statement Monday, called the limited enrollment period "a short-term solution."
The statement warned that consumers who choose to move outside the exchange could lose credit for payments made toward deductibles or out-of-pocket maximums for their current policies. And it said any claims that a consumer has incurred may not be covered if the consumer terminates coverage through Washington Healthplanfinder.

PUBLISHED Sat Jun 29 10:10:00 EDT 2013 0 1 / 7 Supermoon Over D.C. The beauty of Earth's closest companion was on full display as the largest and brightest full moon of the year rose above the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C., on June 23. (See supermoon pictures submitted to National Geographic's Your Shot.)Known popularly as a supermoon—or perigee full moon—this phenomenon occurs when the moon reaches its closest distance to our planet while coinciding with a full phase.Because the moon's orbit is elliptical, there are certain times the moon can be closer (at perigee) or farther (apogee) from our planet, making its apparent diameter appear larger and brighter or smaller and fainter than usual. (Read the full story of this year's supermoon.)For this year's closest perigee, the moon appeared 8 percent larger and 17 percent brighter than usual, while approaching our planet at a distance of 221,823 miles (356,991 kilometers). That's a bit closer than the typical 238,885-mile (384,400-kilometer) distance.In 2011, the so-called supermoon was the closest it's been in two decades—only 221,565 miles (356,575 kilometers) from Earth.—Andrew Fazekas Photograph courtesy Bill Ingalls, NASA Green Lantern A giant bubble of charged particles explodes off the green-tinted surface of the sun, as seen in extreme ultraviolet light on June 18.One of NASA's twin STEREO (Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatory) spacecrafts captured the moment of eruption of this storm—called a coronal mass ejection (CME)—on the side of the sun not visible from Earth.Launched in 2006, one of two identical sun-monitoring observatories, STEREO Behind, has been keeping a constant eye on solar activities like sunspots, flares, and CMEs that may pop up on the sun's so-called backside. (Also see "Solar Flare: What If Biggest Known Sun Storm Hit Today?")STEREO has helped to create more accurate space-weather forecasts by mapping out the violent solar eruptions, which can hit Earth's magnetic field and disrupt satellites and power grids.

Thanks to favorable winds, the smoke crossed the eastern part of North America and the Atlantic Ocean, reaching European airspace by June 24.

Pitched to go head to head with premium rivals from Audi, BMW and Lexus, the Volvo boasts a complex folding three-piece hardtop in place of a cheaper fabric roof. This not only benefits weatherproofing and security but also raises refinement as it cuts road and wind noise on the move.Seats four in comfortThe roof takes 30 seconds to operate and once it's stowed away a button raises the folded roof inside the boot to free up a bit more luggage space. The C70 is a four-seater and there's a decent amount of space for a full complement of adult occupants, although taller passengers in the rear will find headroom a little squashed when the roof is up.Inside, the C70 lifts its interior from its siblings with the typical clean, minimal and not to mention stylish approach to cabin design Volvo excels at. It features the firm's trademark 'floating' centre console design and its seats are immensely comfortable.Plenty of safety kitUnusually for an open car, the C70 features curtain airbags – the first convertible to do so. They're positioned at the top of the doors and are combined with twin front and side airbags in the front. Further safety systems include a blind spot monitor and seatbelt pretensioners both front and rear.There's plenty of standard equipment even for entry-level models, including cruise control, climate control and 16-inch alloy wheels. From 2011, an 'Inscription' version was made available with different exterior and interior trim details including black 18-inch alloy wheels and a leather finish for the dashboard.For 2012, LED daytime running lights were added to the C70's front bumper and a contrasting silver colour scheme for the roof was added to the options list.One petrol and two diesel enginesThere are two diesel engines available: the D3 with 148bhp and the D4 with 175bhp. The sole petrol option is Volvo's T5 engine with 227bhp.All engines are available with both manual and automatic transmissions.From the end of 2009 the C70 was given a facelift that saw the firm's new corporate nose neatly grafted onto the car and the materials used to craft the interior given a welcome boost in quality. The engine range carried over unchanged.Currently the C70 range is a straightforward choice between two equipment levels: SE and SE Lux.To find out more, read on for our full Volvo C70 review.

Interactive surfaces, tangible interfaces, the web, cloud computing, and computationally mediated architectural spaces have long experienced vibrant activity in research and production contexts. While most frequently engaged as distinct topics, we argue these can be actionably regarded as entangled. This perspective will be supported through examples including interactive computational STEAM machines (Surface-based interactive supercomputing), corridor cloud and community awareness systems, Union Carbide's 1933 Vinylite House, medieval counting tables, ancient Egyptian and cartographic cartouches, and nomadic African memory artifacts. We will conclude with considering how syntheses of these suggest new paths for tabletops, tangibles, and textiles with research and production prospects.

Fassero in Battle for Kicking Duties
Related Links
Aug. 20, 2000
TURLOCK - Trying to pin a label on freshman place kicker Anthony Fassero can be a difficult talk.
First, there's Fassero the golfer, who played on the varsity his freshman year at Modesto's Davis High School.
Then there's Fassero the Eagle Scout and accomplished hiker, who has climbed to the summit of Mt. Rainer and led groups of scouts on rigorous 50-mile treks through the Sierras.
In the classroom, Fassero the student graduated high school with better than a 4.00 GPA and has ideas of majoring in either molecular and cell biology or engineering at Cal.
Finally, there's Fassero the football player, a recruited walk-on who is in the hunt to be the Bears starting kicker.
In the athletic realm, Fassero first thought of himself as a golfer. At Davis HS, he became one of the first freshmen in school history to make the varsity. But Fassero also fancied himself on the gridiron, and a chance meeting with kicking guru Paul Assad was the turning point.
Just before the start of his freshman football season, Fassero was practicing his kicking with his father when Assad happened by and it changed his athletic focus.
"My freshman year, I was really good at golf and though that's where I would head off to," Fassero said. "But as my high school years went on, I guess I didn't play enough golf. I never got much better."
Football, though, was a different story. After being able to make 25-to-30-yard field goals as a freshman, Assad helped Fassero improve to 37-yards as a sophomore and to greater than 50 yards as a junior. In addition, Fassero went from someone who couldn't reach the end zone on kickoffs to one who regularly put the ball over the goal line.
As a result, head coach Tom Holmoe offered Fassero a spot on the Cal roster as a walk-on, not an unusual prospect for a kicker and an increasingly familiar label on the Bear squad. Over the past four years, Holmoe and his staff have placed an emphasis on recruiting walk-on athletes, and this season, Cal has add 17 freshmen walk-on players.
In addition to Fassero, others who fit the same bill are quarterback Andrew Zelinski from Spokane, Wash., offensive lineman Baron Ma of Oakland and linebacker Scott Macek from San Diego. A number of other players who arrived in Berkeley as walk-ons but now have scholarships, including linebacker Scott Fujita, wide receiver Sean Currin and tight end Tom Swoboda.
For now, Fassero finds himself as one of four kickers, along with Mark-Christian Jensen, Jeremy Hershey and Tyler Fredrickson, vying for starting duties, although head coach Tom Holmoe said it's too early in camp to name a leader. Said Fassero: "I'm going to give it my best shot to start."
As determined as he may be to claim first-team duties his freshman year, Fassero makes it clear why he chose to attend Cal.
"I'm in it for the academics," he said. "If football doesn't work out, I'm going to get the education. Still, I'm going to go as far as I can with it."
With as many talents as Fassero has, don't be surprised if he finds success in both.

As the European debt crisis continues to unfold, more EU members may be forced to take bailout measures. Recent concerns with the Portuguese economy have replaced Ireland as the debtor du jour, and problems with Greece still linger. Debt concerns in Hungary, Latvia and the Czech Republic have the potential to unhinge the already fragile Euro-zone recovery. Broad-based European funds such as iShares S&P Europe 350 Index (NYSE:IEV) have bounced back from their lows, but are still cause for concern. However, Europe does offer some of the planets largest and most well known multinationals. By focusing on these nations and companies, investors can side step the EU mess.
IN PICTURES: 10 Reasons To Add ETFs To Your Portfolio
London Calling
The United Kingdom may be a good bet for investors in Europe. The U.K. has fared better than the average Euro-zone economy in 2010. The nation attracted more than $1 trillion in foreign direct investment in 2010 and ranks first in a survey of European Attractiveness. The U.K. is also the 6th largest economy in the world and the third largest in Europe, behind Germany and France [iShares MSCI France Index (NYSE:EWQ)].
While the nation does face similar problems as the United States faces, there has been a recent string of good news for U.K. At the beginning of the year, the British purchasing managers index (PMI) hit its highest levels since 1994. A weaker euro and a weak British pound are both benefiting Britain's manufacturers and exporters. Real estate prices in the U.K. are also beginning to stabilize. Home sellers raised prices in January, as a shortage of properties for sale has propped up property values. Prices increased nearly 7.4% in some areas outside of London and 0.3% overall. In addition, parliament seems ambitious in tackling the nation's debt, which currently sits at 71.3% debt to GDP. In order to tackle the debt, the U.K. is undergoing a huge austerity program, its largest since World War II. Even with these spending cutbacks, analysts estimate that the United Kingdom's economy will grow 2.1% in 2011.
The improving economic picture is just one reason investors should consider stocks in the United Kingdom. U.K. stocks are some of cheapest in the developed world. Price to earnings ratios of U.K. stocks trade at a 12-month forward P/E of 10.4 compared to 13.3 for the U.S. Buying U.K. stocks also allows investors to tap into the global growth story. According to UBS Wealth Management, about 70% of earnings from large-cap stocks within the nation stem from outside the U.K. Roughly 20% of earnings from U.K. large-cap, non-financial companies are from emerging markets.
A Fish and Chips Portfolio
As one of the largest developed markets, investors do have a lot of choice when it comes to adding the United Kingdom to a portfolio. The nation is typically included in a large portion of most developed-market ETFs. For investors wanting to hone in the opportunity in the U.K., the easiest way to do that is through the iShares MSCI United Kingdom Index (NYSE:EWU). The fund follows 108 of the largest companies within the nation such as mining giant, BHP Billiton (NYSE:BHP) and pharmaceutical firm GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE:GSK). And at 2.5%, the fund yields more than the S&P 500.
As the third largest reserve currency, behind the USD and the euro, the British pound has fallen during the economic crisis. However, many believe that the pound sterling is currently under-valued at $1.60. Investors wanting to bet on the performance of the pound can use the CurrencyShares British Pound Sterling Trust (NYSE:FXB).
Finally, for investors who prefer individual stock picking, many U.K. companies trade as ADRs on the NYSE, including British American Tobacco (NYSE:BTI) and Vodafone Group (NYSE:VOD).
Bottom Line
The ongoing Euro debt crisis has left many prospects for investors in the some stronger European nations. The United Kingdom represents an opportunity to gain emerging market exposure within a developed nation. While the nation does face some problems, longer term, the nation represents a value proposition. Investors can take advantage of this either through the U.K. ETF or one of the nation's many companies like Diageo (NYSE:DEO). (For more, see ETFs, How Did We Live Without Them?)

In my previous Blog "Coaxial Connector Guide" I gave you a comprehensive guide to common connector types. I have been asked since to give a bit more information about the type of information you need to help choose the connector that is right for your application.
Here is my top 10 things to consider when choosing the coax connector.
1. Frequency of Operation
Frequency refers to the number of times a periodic action occurs in one second. The SI unit for measuring frequency is hertz. RF connectors are grouped into families, or series. Each series is designed to operate in a frequency range. SMA connectors are an ideal connector for many applications due to its wide frequency range of 0-18 GHz.
Impedance matching is a crucial consideration in the designing process. The SI unit for measuring impedance is Ohms. Most connectors operate between 50-95 ohms. RF connectors used in audio and video applications, such as BNC and F connectors usually operate at 75 ohms. Most 2400 MHz applications operate at 50 ohms.
3. Insertion Loss
Insertion loss, expressed as a ratio in dB relative to the transmitted signal power, refers to the amount of signal power lost in transmission due to device interference. Insertion loss is commonly referred to as attenuation. The farther the signal must travel, the higher the attenuation. Many factors affect insertion loss including coax cable type and length. The ultimate goal of any RF connector is to minimize attenuation.
If the power transmitted by the source is PT and the power received by the load is PR, then the insertion loss in dB is given by:
4. Power Handling
Most RF connectors used in the telecommunications industry safely operate up to 500 volts. Usually the larger the connector, the higher the power handling. For instance, N Type connectors can handle up to 2,700 volts.
5. Gender
In the world of RF connectors, plugs are typically referred to as "male" and are threaded on the inside. Jacks are usually "female" and contain threads on the outside. Not all RF connectors are threaded. MCX connectors utilize a snap on mating mechanism. A good rule of thumb is that plugs house the contact pin. Except for Reverse Polarity Connectors that have a Mae body and female centre contact, most commonly used in wireless network systems.
6. Form Factor
Since the development of the first UHF connector in the 1930's, Coax connectors have been getting smaller. The micro-miniature IPX connector boasts a profile of only 2.5mm! Keep in mind however; there is a trade-off between size and power handling.
7. Durability
Many factors influence the ruggedness of an RF connector. How often will the connector be connected and disconnected? Most RF connectors are rated up to 500 mating cycles. Is the connector for outdoor or indoor use? At what temperatures will the connector be subjected to?
8. Environmental Considerations
The main factors to keep in mind concerning durability involve environmental considerations. Mil-Spec RF connectors undergo testing standards which simulate environmental conditions such as vibration and corrosion. These standards are usually expressed in MIL-STD-XXX format.
9. Coupling Style
The mating mechanism associated with an RF Connector is another one of the factors concerning durability. The common threaded interface provides a secure connection for SMA connectors, but is not convenient for frequent disconnects as the bayonet locking feature of the BNC connector. Snap on mating is becoming more common in more space critical applications.
10. Cost
Most often, despite finding the perfect Coax connector for your RF application, the final decision comes down to budget. SMC and SMB connectors are on the higher end of the price spectrum , while F and BNC connectors remain on the lower end.
These considerations serve as a reference summary of top considerations when choosing a coax connector for your application. Trade off's often occur between these factors. However, each project demands its own set of requirements. Decide what works best for YOUR project.
Or talk to your friendly cable assembler who will be happy to help!

Skyrim Incremental Saver is an external program that loads before Skyrim & monitors the save folder for Quicksaves
makes an automatic copy of them. These backups can be accessed and loaded from the Skyrim Load menu just like any save. This insures
backups of all of your Quicksave
Skyrim Incremental Saver uses it's own internal counter, you are not restricted by the number of Incremental Saves (well except as
to the internal counter of up to 10,000 saves). So by simply pressing the games Quicksave button, you now have automatic backups to
return to when you want.
Place either the x32 or x64 (depending on your OS - x32 will work with either) in your Saves directory (preferred) or your Skyrim
directory. You may create a shortcut on your desktop to run the program. Run the program to start the process.
For now, do NOT select Autosave or Both - use Quicksave only until I can sort out the in-game Autosave system.
Set the number of Cycle saves you wish to use up to 10,000 saves.
Enter your character name.
Then select the SkyrimLauncher.exe in the Skyrim Launcher File Path box. Do not select TESV.exe as that seems to not work at this
time. Apparently the game must launch from the SkyrimLauncher.exe.
Hit Start & Skyrim Incremental Saver will launch the game & your set. Every time you Quicksave with F5, a backup is made which can
be accessed from the Load Menu in game.
At any time, you may switch AutoStart on or off from the icon in the system tray. It's a toggle, so if you select it, it will
perform the action shown.

Oh, kittens. It's not Jay's fault that this entry is going to be bitchy and negative. He just happened to be the designer on deck when we hit the wall for this episode.
Once we got Emilio's and Anthony's dresses out of the way, we knew the remaining posts for this episode were going to get increasingly difficult to write because all three of the remaining designers made the exact same mistake:
They all made literal ringmaster's costumes.
At least this one didn't have any stripes. Problem is, stripes probably would have helped this look by taking it slightly away from such a literal interpretation.
We were a little flabberghasted when Jay expressed dismay and confusion that anyone would call this a Michael Jackson jacket. Really, Jay? Were you that close to the work that you couldn't see it? YOU PUT EPAULETS ON IT, for god's sake.
Which isn't to say we hate the outfit. In fact, we like it better than all the other looks with the exception of Emilio's. It's just that it was too literal for this challenge.
We like the black bands trimmed in gold, but we hate that panel over her stomach. Not flattering and not very pretty.
Also, he has a tendency to make his necklines very wide which sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. We don't think it works very well coupled with a military-esque jacket.
But like Nina, we do love those pants, which are so fabulous and modern that they save the entire look.
Sure, they're not for everyone but we love the combination of the extremely low waist coupled with a huge waistband and pleats. Definitely not a look everyone can pull off but from a design perspective, it's fabulous.
We haven't gotten to Mila's entry yet but we'll let the bitchy cat out of the bag now: we think there was no question that this was a better look than her inexplicably praised mess. Too literal, yes, but there was enough good in the look to over ride that criticism and besides, it was, like almost all of Jay's work, impeccable. No one could say that about Mila's wrinkled pile of cliches.
Conspiracy theory time! Get your tinfoil hats out! Could it be that the producers feared an all-male finale (even though they had two consecutive all-female finales) what with the Lifetime demographic and that's why they couldn't bring themselves to just send Mila home? Discuss.

Shedding For The Wedding: "The Devil's in the Details"
March 23, 2011 07:22 PM by Veronica Dudo
Shedding For The Wedding: is a reality competition currently airing on The CW. The series follows the weight-loss journey of nine couples all competing to win the wedding of their dreams! This week the couples take on pole dancing!
The remaining five couples are: Laura and Austin, Dawn and Adam, Allison and David, Valerie and David and Samantha and Brooks.
In tonight's episode "The Devil's in the Details" trainers Jennifer Cohen and Nicky Holender think that the five remaining couples have been working hard and decide to mix things up by taking the couples to a pole dancing class. Some are more apprehensive than others when it comes to this type of exercising. Crunch trainer Alecia Perin is the instructor for the pole dancing class and has the contestants individually practice some moves on their poles.
Back in the house, the couples struggle as they are still learning portion control and what foods work best for their bodies.
Next, the couples are taken to choose their invitations and table settings for their big day with the help of wedding coordinator Brian Worley. Brian incorporates the ideas and colors as the couples decide what table settings they want. At Bovary & Butterfly the couples get to look through beautiful invitations and chose the right ones for their wedding.
This week's challenge, the couples have to cut a log with a saw together. The task is much harder then it looks and it the couples need to stay connected, communicate and work hard. Samantha and Brooks won the challenge and are elated that they finally won something! In addition to their invitations and table settings, they receive immunity and have a one pound penalty to give to one of the other couples. Samantha and Brooks give the one pound penalty to Lauren and Austin.

//South of the Skydome. Nikon 8800.
The sunset last night, aside from being far too early, was beautiful. Some really interesting and unusual clouds made for quite the cottony sky and while I took this shot thinking of the bright pink, blue and orange tones I was staring at, somehow I liked it better in monochrome later on.

Game of Thrones
Game of Thrones Season 5: Has Filming Begun?
Game of Thrones Season 4 may have just ended last month, but there's no rest for the wicked (which is pretty much everyone on this show) as reports are coming in that filming for Season 5 has already begun.
Winter Is Coming reports that "GOT" filming signs have been spotted in Northern Ireland at Scrabo Tower in County Down, with rumors of filming signs also being spotted in the towns of Toome and Carryduff.
Scrabo Tower is a turreted tower built in 1857 and stands 125 feet tall. Due to the tower's appearance, many fans are excitedly theorizing that it could stand in for the famed Tower of Joy from the A Song of Ice and Fire books, which is the spot where Robert's Rebellion effectively reached its conclusion. While the prospect of this seems awesome, it also appears unlikely, since Sean Bean has not been contacted by the show about filming any flashback scenes.
Further evidence that filming is already underway for Season 5 comes from the Twitter account of Maisie Williams, who plays Arya Stark on the show. She tweeted: "Removing jewellery and cutting off festival bands can only mean one thing. #GoT5," along with a photo of the plethora of adornments removed from her wrists and hands.
Are you excited for Game of Thrones Season 5? Let us know in the comments!

†Species predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology.
Applications Key: W=Western Blotting
Reactivity Key: H=Human, M=Mouse, R=Rat, Z=Zebrafish, All=All Species Expected
Western Blotting
Western blot analysis of Elk-1 fusion protein phosphorylated in vitro with purified Erk2 enzyme, using control Elk-1 Antibody.
Western Blotting
After the primary antibody is bound to the target protein, a complex with HRP-linked secondary antibody is formed. The LumiGLO® is added and emits light during enzyme catalyzed decomposition.
Western Blotting
Western blot analysis of Elk-1 fusion protein expressed from E. coli with or without phosphorylation by purified Erk2 enzyme, using Phospho-Elk-1 (Ser383) Antibody (upper) or control Elk-1 Antibody #9182 (lower).
The PhosphoPlus® Elk-1 (Ser383) Antibody Kit provides reagents and protocols for the rapid analysis of the phosphorylation status of Elk-1. Bacterially expressed Elk-1 serves as a negative control. The same protein phosphorylated by p42 MAP Kinase (Erk2) serves as a positive control.
Specificity / Sensitivity
Elk-1 Antibody detects endogenous levels of total Elk-1 protein. Phospho-Elk-1 (Ser383) Antibody detects EIk-1 protein only when activated by phosphorylation at serine 383.
Source / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing rabbits with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ser383 of human Elk-1, or with a synthetic peptide derived from the sequence of human Elk-1. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
The transcription factor Elk-1 is a component of the ternary complex that binds the serum response element (SRE) and mediates gene activity in response to serum and growth factors (1-3). Elk-1 is phosphorylated by MAP kinase pathways at a cluster of S/T motifs at its carboxy terminus; phosphorylation at these sites, particularly Ser383, is critical for transcriptional activation by Elk-1. Elk-1 appears to be a direct target of activated MAP kinase: (a) biochemical studies indicate that Elk-1 is a good substrate for MAP kinase; (b) the kinetics of Elk-1 phosphorylation and activation correlate with MAP kinase activity; (c) interfering mutants of MAP kinase block Elk-1 activation in vivo. Other studies have shown that Elk-1 (Ser383) is also a target of the stress-activated kinase SAPK/JNK (4,5).

Ashanti's wizard roleR'n'B beauty Ashanti has landed the lead role in the new Muppets movie.
The sexy singer will play aspiring starlet Dorothy Gale in a modern day take on 'The Wizard of Oz'.
Dorothy - originally played by screen legend Judy Garland in the 1925 movie - spends her days working in her aunt's Kansas diner and dreaming of becoming a famous singer, until a tornado hits her trailer and transports her to the magical land of Oz.
Jim Henson's famous puppets will take on the roles of Dorothy's loveable companions, with Kermit the Frog playing the Scarecrow, big-nosed Gonzo as the Tin Man and Fozzie Bear as the Cowardly Lion.
According to movie bible the Hollywood Reporter, 'Chicago' star Queen Latifah is currently in negotiations to play Dorothy's Auntie Em, while Miss Piggy will play the Wicked Witch of the West.
The film will also feature a cameo appearance from cult 'Kill Bill' director Quentin Tarantino - who will be shown jokingly giving Kermit tips on how to direct a fight scene between Ashanti and Miss Piggy.
This is the latest classic story parodied by The Muppets - the puppets have previously starred in their own versions of 'A Christmas Carol' and 'Treasure Island'.

Several Arrests In Deadly Bangladesh Factory Collapse
Bangladeshi authorities have arrested at least seven people in connection with this week's deadly building collapse outside Dhaka, the capital. Several garment factories, shops and a bank were housed inside.
The country's state-run news agency says the people were arrested in connection with the building collapse, including two engineers and two garment factory owners. Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, or BSS, says the 25-year-old wife of the building's owner, Sohel Rana, was detained too, along with his cousin. Rana's whereabouts aren't known and police are looking for him. As Scott wrote earlier, survivors of the disaster told journalists the owner had vouched for the building's safety after cracks appeared in the walls. The employees went to work, afraid they'd be fired if they didn't show up.
It's been four days since the building crumbled, killing at least 340 people; while rescue crews say they do hear voices of people trapped in the rubble, those voices are getting weaker. At least 29 people were freed from the debris today, according to the Associated Press, which warns emergency crews fear the rest of the building could collapse around them.
A recent national taskforce discovered many garment factories have poor safety standards, following a deadly factory fire last November that killed more than 100 people. BBC reporter Anbarasan Ethirajan told Morning Edition Bangladeshis are furious:
ETHIRAJAN: "Thousands of workers have been protesting in the industrial suburban areas. They're very angry. They want answers. And the government says that it will take action against those responsible for this building collapse. But soon after the November fire, the government set up a taskforce, and they found out that many factories were lacking in safety standards.
"But the government should have the will to carry out the rules and regulations on the other side. The garment factory owners are also very influential in this country, because nearly 80 percent of the country's exports come from garments. So the government is also not really putting pressure on the factory owners here."
