NFL Divisional Round Playoffs
The Divisional round of the NFL playoffs will begin tomorrow. The Arizona Cardinals will be in New Orleans to take on the Saints and then in prime time tomorrow night the Baltimore Ravens will be in Indianapolis to take on the Colts. Sunday will have the New York Jets at San Diego Chargers and Dallas Cowboys at Minnesota Vikings. I was 1-3 with my picks last week so I am hoping for better luck this week. Here are my picks: I am going to go with New Orleans over the Arizona Cardinals. I think this could be another high scoring game, I just don't think Arizona will be able to stop the Saints. If there are turnovers that will definitely be huge in this game. I will go with Saints 35 Cardinals 31 I am going to go with the Colts over the Ravens. I just don't think the Ravens are that good and the Colts will be looking to shutup their critics. The Colts are a great team and I don't think the layoff will hurt them at all. I think they will be able to put up enough points and the Ravens don't have a great offense. I will go with the Colts 24 Ravens 14 I think the New York Jets have a shot against the Chargers and it should be a good game. I think this will definitely come down to turnovers in this one. I think even the Jets will have a hard time stopping this offensive machine. I think they can slow them down but won't be able to shut them down. I think the Chargers will be able to move the ball and beat the Jets. San Diego 28 New York 21. The Dallas Cowboys are really rolling now and the Vikings come in to the playoffs limping. They only won their last game against the Giants who were just horrible in that last game. The Giants didn't even show up. I think the Vikings will be rusty and the Cowboys are playing as well as anyone right now. The Cowboys defense has been a force to be reckoned with. I am going with Dallas 24 Minnesota 17.

What is the deal with Johnny Damon
I have maintained pretty much all winter that there really is no market for Johnny Damon. The last few days have brought rumors of Detroit and Atlanta being interested and that was about it. Today it came out that Detroit and Atlanta basically said there is no way they would sign Johnny Damon. I know that people can say lots of things and not mean them but it really looks like right now Johnny Damon has no market. I am sure that could change and some mystery team can come out and sign him but it doesn't look like that would happen at this point. The Yankees may be his best option but he may have screwed himself by not working it out with them in the first place for the 2 years. I think both sides just need to get together and work something out. I think Damon needs the Yankees more then they need him but he was a pretty good #2 hitter and they wouldn't be worse off for resigning him.

New York Giants name new defensive coordinator
The New York Giants search for a new defensive coordinator has ended. They hired former interim coach of the Buffalo Bills Perry Fewell as their new defensive coordinator today. He was the defensive coordinator in Buffalo for the last few years before being named interim head coach for the final seven games of this season. The Bills went 3-4 in the 7 games he was head coach. He worked under Tom Coughlin in Jacksonville as the secondary coach and will bring some fire and passion to the job. His defenses have been know for takeaways which will be good for the Giants since they have been lacking that lately. He also plays a aggressive defense which should suit them well also. The Giants have a lot of work to do on the defensive side but hopefully this is one step in the right direction. If they can get their defense back to where it should be,they have a good offense. The Giants will need a running back but other then that they are set on the offensive side of the ball.

New York Mets suffer another blow
It was a very quiet day and I was planning on writing a little bit about basketball and hockey. Then tonight rumors started spreading around Twitter that Carlos Beltran was hurt and what do you know now it is being confirmed. I will thank twitter for this as many have confirmed now that Carlos Beltran did have some kind of procedure on his knee today. It looks like he did it on his own without the Mets permission and they are going to hold a conference call or press conference tomorrow. He was not happy with the Mets last season, thinking they handled his injury wrong and he kept playing when he shouldn't have. His knee was not getting any better this offseason and the pain came back so he went to get it taken care of on his own. It looks like it was just a clean out but some are saying it was micro fracture surgery. The Mets just can't get out of their own way, it is like there is a big black cloud over them. He is not going to be able to do any baseball activity for 12 weeks. This is 3 months which brings us to the start of the season meaning he will miss spring training. I wouldn't expect him back anytime before May at the earliest and if the Mets are saying 12 weeks that probably means about 5 or 6 months so this could be really bad. What should the Mets do?? I would love to hear from the Mets fans as to if this is a crippling blow?? Can the Mets handle this? Is this the worst of the core players or the best in terms of having to lose someone?? I want to hear your thoughts on this topic and whatever else Mets you want to discuss.

Spring Training Report Dates
Pitchers and Catchers is one of the best pair of words that could be uttered. It is a sign of spring and it means that the great game of baseball is back. I know it means a lot of different things to different people and you can find some of that here on the offical MLB website. I know I am certainly ready for spring training, the end of winter and the excitement of a new season. The New York Yankees are World Champions and that always brings out all the cries of the rich getting richer and the need for a salary cap. The great thing about baseball though is everyone starts fresh in spring training and has big dreams no matter what the situation is. Here are the report dates for pitchers and catchers. American League Baltimore- Feb 18th, full squad on Feb 23rd Boston- Feb 20th, full squad on Feb 24th Chicago White Sox- Feb 21st, full squad on Feb 26th Cleveland Indians- Feb 23rd, full squad on Feb 26th Detroit Tigers- Feb 19th, full squad on Feb 23rd K.C.

Yankees minor league signings
The New York Yankees have announced several minor league signings. They signed relief pitcher Royce Ring who pitched for the New York Mets for a couple of years. They also signed outfielders David Winfree and Reid Gorecki. I only know something about Royce Ring, I will have to go with what I have heard. Chad Jennings of the Journal News and Lohud Yankees Blog has a good grasp of minor leaguers considering he worked for Scranton for 7 years. Here are the stats that he provided and some insight. David Winfree had his first shot at AAA last year and hit 273 with 14 homeruns and 31 doubles. He did strike out 88 times with only 28 walks. Winfree is only 24 years old, he seems to have Shelly Duncan type power, similar type of player but Duncan has more experience. Baseball America ranked him as the Twins #28 prospect last year and only had one other prospect with better power. Royce Ring has 94 games of big league experience. He has pitched with the Mets, Padres and Braves. He had a 3.04 era in AAA with the St. Louis Cardinals last season. Lefties hit 208 against him last year and they have hit 229 against him in his career. He seems to be AAA filler but isn't a bad guy to have around. The Yankees now have Damaso Marte who they hope will be the guy they saw in the playoffs and not the guy they saw in the regular season. They also have Boone Logan and Wilkens De La Rosa.

More on Mark McGwire
Here is the story on Mark McGwire and his confession. I personally wouldn't vote for him for the Hall Of Fame if I had a vote. I don't think he is one with or without steroids and these guys that did it really annoy me, i know A-rod and Barry Bonds did it also but in my mind they are Hall Of Famers either way and before they did it they still put up amazing numbers. I think it is guys like Sosa and McGwire who may only be Hall Of Fame worthy because of the homeruns that won't make it now because of using steroids. I think there will be some interesting cases that will test this steroid thing out, a great example will be Roger Clemens. I think the only reason Big Mac admitted to it now is because he realized that once he arrived in spring training all the questions would start and he had to do something as not to be a distraction to the St Louis Cardinals. I wonder if it will all go away or will he still have to deal with a lot during the season, riducule from fans in other ballparks and what about the players he is trying to teach??

Mark McGwire finally admits to Steroids
I don't think there are too many people suprised but Mark McGwire admitted to using steroids today. He is the new hitting coach for the St. Louis Cardinals and has been mostly in hiding for the past decade until taking this job. I don't know why it took him so long to admit this but he probably felt it was just easier to hide and not have to worry about it. He is now the hitting coach for the team he used to play for and knew that it would keep coming up if he didn't address it. I will add the links to the story later and have some comments up from him and possibly others. I would like to hear what you guys think about this, care/don't care?? Did you think this all along or didn't?? Do you think this will help his case for the Hall of Fame or hurt it?? I would love to hear what you guys think and I will jump in on these topics later.

Recap of Wildcard Weekend
Wildcard weekend lived up to it's name, it was wild. The Jets/Bengals game which started it all off and last nights Green Bay/Arizona game were the good ones. The Dallas Philly and NE/Balt games were pretty much blowouts. I will start with the Jets/Bengals game since the New York Jets are the home team for me. The New York Jets played a pretty dominant game, good defense and a solid running game. They also didn't turn the ball over and Mark Sanchez was good, they didn't make him throw it all that often which is a good thing. He really wasn't in any third and longs which is another way from limiting the mistakes that he could possibly make. The Bengals were awful especially there quarterback Carson Palmer who was overthrowing guys left and right. Chad Ochocinco once again was shut down and maybe he needs to learn how to shut his mouth and just play the game. I give the Jets credit for getting down 7-0 but not panicking and once they tied the game up they took control. It looked early on like the Jets could be in trouble but they weathered the storm and then were fine after that. They will now move on to play San Diego in San Diego on Sunday afternoon. The other AFC game between New England and Baltimore was a shocker. The Patriots were down 21-0 before you even blinked and they just couldn't catch up. I wonder if Tom Brady was really hurt as he played a terrible game, he wasn't helped by the offensive line which just let him get beat up back there. The Patriots are still a good team but are no longer the dominant team and have some work to do to get back there. Baltimore will travel to Indianapolis to take on the Colts on Saturday. The NFC started off with the Dallas Cowboys once again dominating the Philadelphia Eagles. I guess you could say that Tony Romo and Wade Philips have the monkey off of their back now. They look like they are going to be a tough out the rest of the way. The offense is really rolling along with Romo looking sharp and their defense has been playing great. I really think Brett Favre and the Vikings are going to be in for a really tough battle. The last game of wildcard weekend turned out to be a really fun and entertaining shootout. The Arizona Cardinals got up big on the Green Bay Packers but to their credit they wouldn't quit and battled all the way back. Arizona had a chance to win it on a chip shot field goal in the closing seconds but missed it and the game went into OT. This was a game where it was back and forth and the teams kept matching each other score for score. There was basically no defense in this game and then when it is all said and done the game ends in OT with a fumble return for a TD by Arizona which will go on and play the Saints in New Orleans.

Some news and notes from around baseball
It has been a pretty quiet Sunday unless your totally into the NFL. If you are then what a game tonight between Green Bay and Arizona, I will get into the NFL tomorrow with my recaps and the upcoming matchups for the divisional round. The Yankees don't have anything doing although there have been rumors about them being in serious discussions to resign Jerry Hairston Jr. who came to them at the trade deadline last year and could be the right handed caddy to Brett Gardner in LF and could also play all over the infield giving the regulars some rest. I don't know if anyone really cares, well I am sure all the woman do but it looks like Derek Jeter is getting married to girlfriend Minka Kelly. The story was in the NY Post and then it started making the rounds on the internet. International free agent Aroldis Chapman has signed with the Cincinatti Reds according to reports. It looks like the deal could be for 5 yrs and 25 million and has a 6th yr option which could push it to 30 million. Khalil Greene who was a starting SS for the Padres for 5 yrs will try and revive his career with the Texas Rangers and join Vlady Guerrero who just signed a 5 million dollar deal with incentives to be their DH yesterday.

College Hockey:Air Force Steamrolls Sacred Heart To Reach AHA Semis
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Air Force Punches Ticket to Rochester
Olson Gets Hat Trick in Victory
After Saturday night's 5-1 loss to the Sacred Heart Pioneers, Air Force coach Frank Serratore told his players to rest up and get ready to play again the next day.
Given the Falcons' 8-1 win over the Pioneers, it was apparent his team listened.
"Right from this morning, we all said, 'Hey, if you don't think we can win, get out of here,'" said Jacques Lamoureux, who had four points on the night. "Everybody came together and we said, 'Hey, we're going to beat the crap out of these guys tonight,' and that's what we did from the drop of the puck."
Air Force came out strong, taking the lead six minutes into the first period. The Falcons never gave it up. Paul Weisgarber won a draw in the Pioneer zone back to Greg Flynn who fired a shot from the point that went five-hole on Sacred Heart netminder Stefan Drew (14 saves).
"It was very, very important for us to get the lead in the game because when we get the lead, they've got to try and open up, they've got to try to get back in the game," said Serratore. "Getting the lead forced them to skate with us and they had a very difficult time skating with us."
About two and a half minutes later while on a four-on-three advantage, Flynn put the Falcons up 2-0 on his second tally of the game when he one-timed a Michael Mayra pass from the top of the circle under Drew's left shoulder.
The two goals felt especially good for Flynn after his accidental own goal Saturday night.
"When you score on your own net and you don't get any points for it, it's really frustrating," said Flynn, adding, "It was good to go out there and finish my last home game like that with getting my first game-winner of my career."
The Pioneers, vastly outplayed on the ice and in the shot column, didn't even muster a shot on net until 5:55 remained in the opening frame, making the shots at that point 16-1 for Air Force.
With 1:15 left in the period, Lamoureux scored his nation-leading 30th goal of the season to put the Falcons up 3-0. Lamoureux took a pass from Flynn at center ice by the benches, skated it into the zone and fired a shot from the goal line that banked off Drew's shoulder and the crossbar before landing in the net for the power play tally.
"I kinda saw him take a peek to the center of the ice and so I threw it right in his pads and it ended up bouncing over his glove. I think it caught him off guard," said Lamoureux. "My dad and my brother are goalies and they kinda give me those pointers. Watch the goalie's eyes, see what he's doing. He took a quick peek, turned his head and he ended up taking his eye off the puck."
Hannah replaced Drew with backup Olivier St. Onge to start the second period and the Falcons wasted no time testing the new goaltender. Lamoureux scored his second of the night a mere 45 seconds in, with his shot from the high slot beating St. Onge (29 saves) high to the glove side.
63 seconds later, the Pioneers finally got on the board with a power-play goal of their own when Erik Boisvert one-timed a pass from Dave Grimson from the bottom of the left circle past Falcon goaltender Andrew Volkening (14 saves).
Brent Olson knocked in a Lamoureux rebound another 90 seconds after that to give the Falcons their four-goal lead back.
Olson netted his second of the night thanks to a fluky bounce off a Pioneer defenseman with 3:14 remaining in the second to put the Falcons up 6-1 and Jeff Hajner scored on a power-play blast from the top of the right circle to make it 7-1.
The Falcons added one more goal 7:44 into the third period when Olson walked off the far boards near the circle and fired his third of the night past St. Onge.
"You get into these situations and you need your leaders to lead. The leaders must lead," said Serratore. "The leaders had to lead and the leaders led tonight. Brent Olson, Flynn, Lamoureux, Frider — those are the guys. They lead and the rest of the guys follow and do their part."
The Falcons next play Bentley in Rochester in the Atlantic Hockey semifinals. Game time is at 4:05 Eastern.

On a bit of a morning whim, Nate and I headed out to pick a quart of raspberries at a local berry farm.
I think we might do this weekly for the season -- what a sweet delight! The patches were heavy with deep red berries, and it was such a lovely quiet start to the day. We slowly combed a row of the patch together, talking and moving the berry basket along with us in the grass.
And we even scooped up some local raw honey; a golden treat gathered from Cleveland bees.
If we can refrain from eating up all of the berries this afternoon, I'm hoping to whip up a raspberry peach pie. I'm on a bit of a summer pie kick around here; they are so delicious with all of this in-season fresh + local fruit.

As far back as the Shang Dynasty the (1600-1100BC), Chinese people began to learn to use iron. At that time, meteoritic iron were used for the blades of luxury weapons, cast into bronze handles which were sometimes inlaid with silver or precious stones.
The Spring & Autumn andWarringStatesperiods (776-221BC), though marked by disunity and civil strife, witnessed the flourish of iron industry. Technology shifted from meteoritic to smelted iron. Malleable cast iron products had greater hardness and better ductility. Iron came into general use, making possible not only the forging of weapons but also the manufacture of farming tools.
The Qin Dynasty (221-206BC) saw rapid development of the iron industry. As Qin Emperor Shihuang unifiedChina, he set up iron officials in production areas in order to increase treasury income and strengthen the centralized power. In the Han Dynasty (206BC-220AD), iron smelting technology made further progress, as indicated by the appearance of various kinds of furnaces, the use of refractory materials and bellows that were made of leather and powered by human strength. From the Qin Dynasty to the Han Dynasty, metal production was relatively decentralized -- gold, tin and cinnabar were mostly produced in southernChina, while copper and iron were produced in the southwest.
During Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220), central government designated iron officials to 34 places. During that time, tin, lead and silver production inSouthwest China'sYunnanProvinceand alluvial gold production inSouthwest China'sSichuanandYunnanprovinces got remarkable development.
The Wei, Jin, and South and North dynasties were marked by frequent wars. During the Sui Dynasty (581-618), great efforts were put on copper production for casting money.
In the Tang Dynasty (618-907) there were 104 iron mines and 62 copper mines all over the country, excludingSouthwest China'sYunnanandGuizhouprovinces.
During Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127), metal production grew rapidly, especially that of copper, tin and lead, which were all major materials for casting money.
During the Yuan Dynasty (1279-1368), the imperial government set up special department in charge of mining and metallurgical industry. Also, rules and regulations governing the industry were implemented, mainly for the protection of government-owned mines.
In the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), iron production developed remarkably. Zinc began to be used in metal smelting.
During the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), iron mines were mostly privatized. After the Opium War in 1840, due to the invasion of foreign imperialistic powers and the rise of Westernization Movement and comprador-owned enterprises, Chinese mining industry began to be characterized by semi-feudalism and semi-colonialism.

"To balance China, democracies will need new friends — and India with its fast growing economy, youthful population, and democratic politics seems the obvious candidate." — David Frum
In the world of frail economies, unsettled politics and militant aggression —India shows a ray of hope. India today enjoys a unique and unparalleled global position — the world hopes for it to succeed, as India's success is required to buoy up global growth. We have an increasingly critical role to play in the world; we have the potential to build this country into an economic superpower; we have the intellect that can think of strategy innovative solutions; the technology that can provide momentum; the human capital required for execution; the youth who is eager, ambitious and industrious. Why are we trudging along then and not moving in leaps and bounds towards our destiny?
The trouble with India is its politics. In her public lecture in Delhi, Aung San Su Kyi spoke of lessons that she has learnt from Gandhi and Nehru. She said that the discovery of Nehru was the discovery of herself. She also spoke of politics and an ethical and moral calling. "I was brought up to think of politics was to do with ethics, it was to do with responsibility, it was to do this service." It is an irony that while the world learns from India, our own politicians forget the fundamentals of the formation of India as a nation. The ideas of the Constitution and the vision of those who founded modern India have been lost. It is self-interest and not national interest that guides most of their thought and action. This is not party specific. There is no concept of commitment to the cause of the nation. Politics has become a profession that has lost its soul. While Barack Obama said this of the US, it is true about India. "We've come to be consumed by a 24 hour, slash and burn, negative ad, bickering, small minded politics that doesn't move us forward. Sometimes one side is up and the other side is down. But there's no sense that they are coming together...to solve the problems that we face."
The current government would serve itself and the nation better if it woke up to the reality that people have native intelligence and will eventually vote in favour of progress. Economics is on everyone's mind and has a larger connotation than simply GDP growth. The whole country's future is dependent on how our economy performs and while people may argue that reforms only favour the rich — no inclusion or poverty alleviation will happen without economic growth. It is irrational to oppose reforms. It is also time that the ruling party stops putting the blame for slow growth to lack of consensus. It is evident that when there is real desire to push through reforms, it will happen and consensus will appear because everyone can see that this is in the larger interest of the nation. What ails us more than anything else is the lack of political will, not consensus. Just as the corporate world is quickly realising the importance of governance and that there is no choice but to be "good", politics too, has to come around to this view for their own long-term survival. In an increasingly aware and connected world, only the truth will survive.
India's growth story so far, is a salute to the entrepreneurial spirit of Indians. The media industry is an example. Cable TV came to the country during the Iraq War and the State only woke up to its potential in 2005 when it had permeated into millions of homes in India. The government has to play the role of the enabler — every cloud has a silver lining and there are some positive stories in India as well. The first spate of economic reforms in 1991 brought telecom into India. The telecom growth story extends into IT as telecom became the base for IT growth. There are institutions like Sebi, RBI and Election Commission; projects like the Delhi Metro that have made their mark and contributed a great deal to progress. I come back to the point that I made earlier — if there is political will; everything can happen. In a nation of more than a billion, there cannot be just a handful of examples.
What the government needs to concentrate on ensuring that the institutional framework of this country actually works, it needs to work on governance, on tackling the menace of corruption and on delivering swift justice. It needs to simplify, cut excesses and destroy red tape. Thomas Jefferson had said, "My reading of history convinces me that the most bad government results from too much government." We need to ensure that the word 'trust' reappears in our dictionary when we talk of our institutions and our regulators. Why does it take more than 10 years to build roads in this country? Why are areas of central Delhi and probably a number of other states forever under construction? What has happened to the telecom, Commonwealth games scams? Rajat Gupta was investigated, found guilty and sentenced in a matter of a few years, why does justice drag forever in India? Why should anyone be afraid of the law here or follow it; for that matter when there's no recognition of the right and no retribution for wrong? Is anyone prepared to answer these questions that the average Indian is asking?

If you live near Pasadena, CA…
April 21, 2012 in health care costs, Hospital Bills
check out Huntington Hospital's procedure pricing tool. This is an astonishing display of price information. It's astonishing because posting prices for anything is almost unheard of at hospitals in the US.
If you're uninsured and you need bariatric surgery, the price is clear and fixed: "$12,000 flat fee $14,075 includes pulmonary and endoscopic workups." The hospital is also upfront about the cost of an inpatient psych visit: "Daily per diem rate of $960.00 covers admission to any of the three inpatient psychiatric units (Adult Voluntary, Geriatric, ICU). Daily per diem rate for a private room is $1,260.00. Professional fees not included. All other hospital services included. This does not include inpatient admission for ECT."
In another break with tradition, Huntington offers an uninsured "discount." Most hospitals charge the uninsured more than the rate paid by insured patients.
I read about Huntington Hospital in the LA Times earlier this week.
On its website, Huntington Memorial Hospital in Pasadena allows people to select several common procedures and get an instant price quote, including an estimate of the patient's share after plugging in their deductible and coinsurance. But even those numbers exclude the thousands of dollars that physicians, anesthesiologists and other specialists would tack on for most surgeries.
"We are working diligently to make publicly available both cost and quality information," said Stephen A. Ralph, Huntington Memorial's chief executive. "The need for pricing transparency in healthcare services has taken on increasing importance for citizens."
Sure, Huntington talks about many reasons why the prices you see online may not be the end price – but this is a first step many hospitals are not yet willing to take.

Nokia tax probe: PwC says India arm questioned
Jan 18 2013 , New York
Tax officials last week raided Nokia's production unit in Chennai, one of the company's biggest facilities.
A senior Indian tax official said the investigation related to allegations that Nokia may have evaded around 30 billion rupees in taxes. Nokia has said it was cooperating with the probe.
PwC's arm in India both audits and provides tax advice to Nokia, said Mike Davies, a spokesman for PricewaterhouseCoopers International Ltd. Auditor independence standards in India allow firms to both audit and provide tax advice to the same client, he added.
PwC's Indian affiliate has said they are fully cooperating with tax authorities on the matter.
Newspapers in India reported last week that PwC would be called in for questioning on the Nokia tax case.
British telecommunications carrier Vodafone Group Plc is also being pressed for payment of $2 billion in disputed taxes in India on its 2007 acquisition of mobile telecom assets.
Tax disputes are becoming more common as governments around the world faced with large deficits crack down on tax avoidance in search of new revenues.

Officials at the Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport tell us there are fewer people flying in this weekend.
NBC Montana caught up with airport director Brian Sprenger who says as of this afternoon there were 900 passengers booked to fly into the airport through Sunday.
Sprenger told us the Memorial Day holiday weekend is typically slow. He says airport workers expect numbers to jump up higher as the month of June approaches.
Sprenger says despite the lower number of passengers coming through, airlines tend to fill up their flights.
"Flights are still pretty full because what the airlines do is they increase the number of flights and size of the airplanes as they go into the summer season. Right now, on the smaller airplanes and fewer number of flights, they still fill them up," said Sprenger.
Many passengers we spoke to off-camera told us they flew in to visit Yellowstone National Park for the weekend.

From 1892 to 1899 it lived in Munich, where it created the free literary society. Then it returned to Berlin and brought with the (the term was obviously meant Nietz term of the "superhuman" as ironical allusion on Friedrich) the first German Kabarett into being. This project of a small art stage did not prove however as very long-lived, so that it pulled 1905 to Darmstadt. finally 1918 he came to Bavaria and established themselves in Puppling when wolf advice living.

|Pamida, Shopko merge: Charge accounts no longer
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Beginning June 3, customers of Pamida stores will no longer receive monthly invoices.
The change comes as Pamida stores nationwide prepare to undergo conversion to the Shopko Hometown store format.
The Omaha, Neb.-based Pamida announced earlier this year it was merging with Green Bay, Wis.-based Shopko.
"This is an exciting time for Pamida as our stores nationwide prepare to undergo conversion," a letter sent to local customers states. "We are always looking for ways to better serve our customers while operating our business as efficiently as possible."
Pamida stores will be converted to the Shopko Hometown store format (basically a regular Shopko store on a smaller scale), offering more product selection, private-label brands and name-brand apparel.
Beginning Sunday, June 3, Pamida will eliminate the invoice practice as they will have the ability to securely store encrypted credit card information for customers. "By keeping your credit or debit card information on file, we can best facilitate prompt processing and payment of prescriptions," a letter sent to customers stated.
"This means you will no longer have to worry about looking for, and paying a monthly invoice. While it is not required that you keep a debit or credit card on file, we strongly recommend you do so."
The letter goes on to say customers will have the option of paying in person when they call in or pick up prescriptions.
To facilitate the transition, Pamida asks customers to pay current invoices in full so they can close out pharmacy charge accounts by June 3.
The aim of the merger is to stay competitive by combining two successful companies under the same ownership of Sun Capital Partners Inc. and create one of the largest U.S. retailers focused on serving smaller and rural communities, said Shopko president, chairman and CEO W. Paul Jones.
Jones will lead the combined company, which will be headquartered in Green Bay. Pamida president and CEO John Harlow will serve on the leadership team and help direct integration, according to a press release from Tara Powers of Lambert, Edwards & Associates.
The resulting chain will have nearly 350 locations in 22 states.
"A great deal of work and planning was required to get us to this point, and we're excited that the merger is now complete so we can begin to move forward as one organization," said Jones.
"Our aim is to combine the best of both companies as we become one Shopko team with a shared vision to become the nation's leading general merchandise retailer focused on serving smaller communities across the country with our Shopko Hometown store format."
Shopko also announced the conversion plans for Pamida stores. The company announced the Pamida stores will be converted to the Shopko Hometown store format by the end of 2012. As part of the continual review process, the company has identified six stores that will not go through conversion and will be closed in August.
The Shopko Hometown retail format, developed over the past three years to augment Shopko's larger store model, offers a differentiated and financially successful merchandising strategy. Shopko Hometown combines pharmacy services with a broad and dynamic offering of strong national brands and high-value private label brands of apparel, home furnishings, toys, consumer electronics, seasonal items and lawn and garden products—all in attractive, well laid out, easy-to-shop store formats that range from 15,000 to 35,000-square-feet.
Shopko announced approximately $80 million will be invested into Pamida store conversions which will begin in June and occur in phases through the end of the year. Each individual store conversion will take approximately 5-6 weeks from start to finish and will include new interior and exterior signage, updated supplemented fixtures, improved store design and layout, as well as an expanded merchandise mix.
"We're eager to get the Pamida store conversion process underway and start to bring Shopko Hometown to more communities," said Jones.
"Over the past two years, seven Pamida stores have already been successfully transitioned to the Shopko Hometown format. We've received overwhelmingly positive feedback from customers in these communities who tell us they appreciate the improved shopping experience and access to a broader, differentiated selection of merchandise, including products and brands previously not available in their community.
"These improvements, coupled with the same great team and customer service, as well as a continued commitment to support the local community, gives us confidence that Shopko Hometown will be well received by Pamida's customer base."
Once Pamida's chain-wide conversions are complete, the company plans to accelerate the addition of new Shopko Hometown stores in the second half of 2012 and into 2013. There will be no change to Shopko's current 149 stores.
Shopko is owned by affiliates of Sun Capital Partners, Inc., a leading private investment firm focused on leverage buyouts, equity, debt and other investments in market-leading companies.

It was nice to see Spaces on the feature list for Leopard (Mac OS 10.5). I'd been quite happy using Desktop Manager for virtual desktops on Mac OS X, but once Spaces was announced I think everyone working on virtual desktop software for Mac OS X pretty much threw in the towel.
Now that I've had a chance to play with Spaces I have some complaints. Two specific ones that really bother me, both dealing with application pinning. First, having application windows in more than one space. I generally have at least eight terminal windows (thank you iTerm) open in across several different desktops. When I tried to do the same thing in Spaces it would always open in the same desktop, the one where iTerm was first launched in. The "work around" is to open all of the iTerm windows that you want in one space and then go to the Spaces app (the view that shows you all of your desktops) and drag the terminal windows to the various spaces that you want to actually use them in. If for some reason you have to close one of them then you'll have to go back to the original desktop that iTerm was launched in, create a new window, go back to the Spaces app and drag it back to where you want it. So it isn't impossible to get around this behavior, but the method involved is really annoying.
My second gripe is one that I haven't been able to work around at all. When you switch an application your are always automatically moved to the space that the app is in and it is given focus. The classic example of this for me is clicking on a link in an email which opens in Firefox. I generally will go and look at the site later, after getting through more email. Which means I want the link to open in Firefox, but be left in the same space as my email app. But I haven't found a way to do this in Spaces, you will always be moved. What I'd like to see is that behavior being optional, perhaps only for apps that are assigned to a specific space.
So far I'm fine with everything else in Spaces, although a little pager on the desktop would be nice.
UPDATE 14 Feb 2008: This behavior can now be turned off in 10.5.2

The above is an expression used in Chinese cities by those practitioners who desire to have it known that they are learned in foreign medical methods. When a native doctor puts on his sign-board the words, "western healing," he relies upon this announcement as a means of attracting patients; he appeals to a sentiment which he knows is already widely diffused—so widely, in fact, that it now offers the best method of securing lucrative practice. Such sign-boards are not infrequent and may be found even in the country districts remote from the provincial cities. This fact is more significant when contrasted with some of the incidents in the early history of "western healing" in Canton, as recorded in the earliest reports of medical missionary work in that city. When the first important case of surgery was presented at the Canton hospital, it was necessary to amputate the man's arm with

Like all things associated with the holiday season, better late than never:
Just the Facts:
500.25 miles
35:28:51 total time (14.1mph average)
30:47 time on bike (16.2mph average)
6th out of 25 solo men
Rather than the usual narrative, heres a ride report from the perspective of lessons learned. Hopefully some of these thoughts and tips will be useful to others riding Texas or other ultra events in the future:
Do your homework: Ultra races are too few, too far between, and require too much time, effort, and money to learn everything from first principles. The more you can glean from others -- about the course, diet, race strategy, training, whatever -- the better off you are. After a great ride at the Metamora 200 this August, I was talking with another racer about The Texas Time Trials. I was considering going, and wanted to pick this veterans brain about his experience at last years race. I got some sage advice (see next topic below!), great encouragement, and invaluable beta on the course, the weather, and -- most importantly -- the benefit of the 36-hour start. The ride must be done in 48 hours or less to finish officially, but that means a 5:30pm start, which I really didnt like. It meant starting the ride sleep-deprived and it meant that the sun would set on your second lap, making for lots of initial night riding. Im not a huge fan of night riding. Also, picking the 36-hour start would force me to commit to my goal of a competitive, RAAM-qualifying ride. Lesson? Have goals, do whats necessary to achieve them, and then commit fully to achieving them on race day. Theres no doubt that if I had 48 hours to play with -- and the resulting lack of pressure created by choosing the 36-hour start -- I would have taken longer to do the ride.
I also benefited tremendously from researching prior years race results. All of the lap splits from all of the prior years riders are on the internet. It's invaluable information for seeing how others approached the ride and for discerning what worked and what didnt work. Put that data together with historical weather data (wunderground.com) and an elevation profile of the course (also on TTTTs website), and youve got a powerful set of data points for planning your own ride strategy.
Intelligently and purposefully combine speed with sustainable pace: Like chocolate and peanut butter, they both taste great, and they taste great together. The piece of advice I got from the guy I met at Metamora was to go out at a sustainable pace, keep that pace, and keep the stops short. Sounds easy, right? Well, theres a lot of debate in the ultra community about how to ride long events when it comes to pacing. Id always gone with the smoke em if you got em approach: a blistering pace at the start puts time and miles and in the bank that you then draw on deep in the race after youve shot your legs all to hell. The guys (and gals) who win RAAM ride this way, at least since the Danny Chew era (although MacDonald's Chew-like approach to RAAM got him 2nd in 2005). The strategy has worked great for me in short 12-hour and double centuries, but Ive had mixed results in 24-hour races. It worked for me big-time at the Last Chance where I used a 25-hour first 600K to compensate for a 38.5-hour second 600K (yes, those last few hundred kilometers hurt like hell!). The randonneuring Id done this year, where I took it easy and was just as strong at the end of the ride as I was at the start, really made me re-think my approach to long races. Id also had some disappointing (but educational!) results at Sebring and Michigan, where Id gone out with both guns absolutely blazing (4:32 first century at Sebring; with lead group for 200K at Michigan) but had difficulties later on caused by being too aggressive with the pace and not aggressive enough with the training (Sebring) or nutrition (Michigan), leading to the so-so results (296 miles at Sebring; 352 at Michigan).
My own experience in other events combined with looking at the splits of some of the smart, conservative riders made me think about going out with 17mph lap averages and seeing how long I could keep that pace up. I knew I couldnt do it for 500 miles. But I knew I could do it for a lot longer than I could time-trial at 20+mph, which was my usual habit. Turns out I had no lap with an average including off-bike time of less than 16mph until lap 12 (which was 15.30mph, and thats also when I stopped to put on my stuff for night riding). Thats 240 miles at better than 16mph. Fastest lap? Number 5, at 17.9mph. Despite the relatively slow start, this nice, steady, sustainable pace was enough to have me in 3d place (although I didnt know this at the time). Id been in 18th place out of 20! after the first lap. Steady sure seems like the way to go! Steady, though, doesn't mean slow. Intervals, intervals, intervals. Us long distance riders as a group really would benefit from a lot more hard, fast, short rides in our training schedules.
The real value of crew: I slowed down after nightfall but tried to keep up the steady pace with little time off the bike. Unfortunately, that didnt last long. I couldnt get in a rhythm after nightfall. My stomach got really acidic and I generally began to feel lousy. The beginning of the end came when I actually dozed off on lap 15 on the bike. Running off the road (somehow I stayed upright and hopped back onto the pavement) woke me up instantly, but at the end of 300 miles I declared a 90-minute sleep break to try to snap back into a rhythm. My legs felt good, but two inexplicably slow laps combined with feeling sick and drowsy just wasnt fun or safe. I set the alarm and went to sleep in 5th place.
Ninety minutes later I felt great. I also concluded Id feel like a god with 90 more minutes of sleep. I reset my alarm. Id have to haul ass in the morning to make 36 hours, but I was confident I could do it.
And heres where crew is critical. That was a really, really stupid decision. I didn't have any crew. Crew would have forced me back on the bike after that first 90 minutes. If I continued to have 12-13mph lap splits, or if I was unsafe for some reason, then theyd have let me go down for another snooze. Probably even the length of the first break was totally unreasonable and would not have been permitted as an initial break. I mean, this was a friggin race, and I wasn't really that bad off. Sure, I felt great with 180 minutes of sleep, but that was also 180 minutes with the clock ticking and me not moving. Crew would have made all the difference in what I did and how I handled a brewing nutrition problem and an alertness problem. Crew could have also kept track of where the competition was (I never had any idea). I think this is the real plus of crew in an ultra event; on a loop ride, its not that tough to self-crew when it comes to hydration, calories, and clothing. But when it comes to motivation, cheerleading, and logistics -- wow, crew would have helped tremendously. Would I have won? I doubt it -- the winner is a god of a rider -- but I'd have placed significantly better for sure.
So, when I awoke from all that sleep, I was in 10th place. There were only 11 riders still on the course; everyone else had already DNFd. I had 14 hours to ride 200 miles, with 300 miles already in my legs. Time to go to work.
Eat right: Id been eating peanut butter crackers, pretzels, and orange slices. My fluid of choice was Gatorade, mixed full-strength. I always carried a Coke in my jersey pocket from which I sipped pretty constantly at a rate of 12oz per 40 miles. I was taking Endurolytes religiously at 3 per hour -- one every 20 minutes. I have an iron stomach, but all this abuse eventually added up to a lot of acidity and a real sour feeling. Popping Tums like a junkie helped, but would provide only temporary relief. By the time I was on lap 23, I didnt want to put anything else on my stomach but plain water. Id bonk without food, but the race would end before I did. I think my hydration was great -- I was urinating constantly -- and I got the right amount of calories in me at what seemed like a good rate, but Ive got to find a different mix of foods or other ways to fuel myself without ripping my guts up.
Keep stops short: Other than my luxurious snooze, my stops were fantastic. The only stops longer than 60 seconds were the two times I made clothing changes (and even those were under 5 minutes). This was the key to catching everyone else on the second day. I wasnt riding all that fast -- laps were about 14-15mph, including stops -- owning to the sour stomach, but I kept at it and clawed my way back to 6th place, finishing with more than 30 minutes left on the clock.
A consequence of feeling ill and slowing down was that I felt great at the end. My legs were fine, I was pretty well rested, and was in good spirits. The race officials remarked that I could have gone out for another 500 and, actually, I felt like I could have -- at the same pace -- if Id gotten the stomach problems solved.
Which leads to the final lesson: Have fun! At the end of the day, riding a bike is fun. Even in a race. If its not fun, youve got to find some way and make whatever changes are necessary to make it fun. And Texas was a lot of fun. Itd be a shame to go all that way, at all that cost in time, effort, and money, not to have fun. Great course. Fantastic people. Wonderful camaraderie. I cant wait for next year. Especially since the team course record is like 26 hours. That's pathetic and is in need of being crushed! So here's the want-ad: looking for three teammates who want to race 500 miles in less than 24 hours....

Posted By Jim On 04/17/2009 @ 9:00 am In Your Take | 45 Comments
Last year, I had a whole series on frugal weekend ideas like visiting local wineries [3], going to a major league baseball game [4], visit a national park [5], or something simple like borrow a movie from the library [6].
My favorite frugal weekend idea is probably to visit a local winery, such as when we visited Boordy [7] (which ended up not being frugal!) a few weeks ago, because it has all the key characteristics in a great weekend day. First, I like being outdoors and most wineries have outdoor seating and relaxing areas. Second, I enjoy the gift of Dionysus and I enjoy enjoying it over several hours basking in the warm sun. Third, it's a very social activity that has something for everyone. If you enjoy wine, you have wine. If you don't have wine, you enjoy the setting. If you hate being outdoors and wine, well we're probably not friends (and you're probably a vampire).
I'd like to know, what's your favorite frugal weekend idea?

You can usually get a better price with the ones who don't specialize in wedding cakes. Those who bake from home don't have to pay the overhead costs of a brick-and-mortar bakery, so that may result in a lower cost as well.

Africa, money laundering and secretly trafficking in rhino horns.

(d/b/a Out of Africa Adventurous Safaris) with conspiracy, Lacey Act violations, mail

USAID: Illegal ivory trade has now reached its highest level
Newscast Media WASHINGTON—Illegal rhino horn trade has reached the highest levels
since the early 1990s, and illegal trade in ivory increased by nearly 300 percent from
1998 to 2011, according to a new report by U.S. Agency for International
Development (USAID) partner TRAFFIC.
"This report provides critical insights into often violent and complex trade networks
that will help countries target their law enforcement efforts. Wildlife trafficking not
only endangers rhinos, elephants and many other wildlife species, but also threatens
national and international security as well as local livelihoods," said Eric Postel,
assistant administrator at USAID. FULL STORY>>

U.S. and China partner to combat wildlife trafficking and poaching
Newscast Media WASHINGTON—The United States and China have committed to work together to combat wildlife trafficking, the State Department said last week in an announcement.
During the 2013 U.S.-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue in Washington, U.S. Under Secretary of State for Economic Growth, Energy and the Environment Robert D. Hormats and Administrator Zhao Shucong of the Chinese State Forestry Administration led a historic breakout session on wildlife trafficking. At the session, experts from multiple agencies met to review efforts to combat the global illegal trade in wildlife and identify areas for increased cooperation.
"The United States is committed to working with China to address this global challenge," the State Department said.
"In recognition of the economic and security consequences of burgeoning illicit trade networks, the two nations committed to pursue more effective mechanisms for cooperation; strengthen enforcement at the national, regional and global level, including enhanced cooperation among law enforcement agencies; efforts to eliminate the supply and demand for illegal wildlife products; the development of innovative
technologies to advance such efforts; and strengthening international cooperation in wildlife conservation and protection," the department said.
Wildlife trafficking is a multibillion-dollar illicit trade that undermines security, economic development, health and the rule of law across the globe, the department said. The United States and China are major destinations for trafficked wildlife products.
The United States has been leading an international effort to halt wildlife trafficking, and on July 1, President Obama signed an executive order establishing a presidential task force and calling for a U.S. national strategy to combat wildlife trafficking. The order, in part, calls for the United States to assist foreign nations in building their capacity to combat wildlife trafficking.
"The poaching of protected species and the illegal trade in wildlife and their derivative parts and products (together known as "wildlife trafficking") represent an international crisis that continues to escalate," Obama said in the executive order.
"Poaching operations have expanded beyond small-scale, opportunistic actions to coordinated slaughter commissioned by armed and organized criminal syndicates.
"The survival of protected wildlife species such as elephants, rhinos, great apes, tigers, sharks, tuna, and turtles has beneficial economic, social, and environmental impacts that are important to all nations," Obama said.

I have a bad back. The constant bending over causes some irritation and I feel like if my handlebars were a couple inches higher that my cycling experience could be much more enjoyable. I was thinking about switching to an adjustable stem. Would this help? Is it difficult? I have never done this before.
I'm riding an older Montague folding bike that I bought used, fitted with newer parts like a Rock Shox front fork, new rims & gears, etc.
Also, if an adjustable stem is the way to go can someone recommend a good one that isn't too expensive?
If not, any other suggestions?

By Natalie Bahadur 2011-02-27 00:00:00 Lancome, Resolution Eye, $65.00 When it comes to cosmetics, choice is wonderful -- but it can also be overwhelming. When you're standing in the cosmetics section, whether at a large department store or at your local drugstore, it can be hard to decide which products to try. So we've decided to test drive some makeup bag essentials to help you make your decision. This week, we've tested eye creams and here are the results:Lancome, Resolution Eye, $65.00I really like this product. I love the scent and the ease of application. The texture is creamy but not greasy. It feels cool and soothing on the skin and really eases any tension or stress you feel around your eyes. As for the overall results, I found that this product reduces dullness in the skin around the eyes and leaves your skin feeling hydrated and healthy. And I must comment on the packaging -- it's lovely and makes a wonderful addition to your bathroom counter!- Natalie BahadurThis eye cream leaves your skin silky smooth. Its creamy texture is nice and it distributes easily with minimal pulling and tugging. It's not too greasy and is pleasantly scented. This product is beautifully packaged but it's surprising how little product is actually buried in the pretty blue container. It comes with a plastic applicator that you dip into the cream and dab onto your brow bone, under your eye and on the outer corner of your eye. I could do without the applicator as it slows down the process but overall, I like the results.- Jennifer MeloThe eye cream's fresh scent and rich texture really made me feel like I was pampering the skin around my eyes. It left my skin feeling hydrated and smooth. It was a little greasier than the Estee Lauder product but my skin also felt more moisturized. I would definitely recommend this product to others.-Sarah HattenPage 1 of 3 1 2 3

Episode Summary
While the rest of the family is getting ready for a visit to Granny's, Baby Bear is doing his best to follow Papa Bear's instructions not to mess up his dress clothes.
Then Telly comes along with a cone of Baby Bear's favorite ice cream flavor. The temptation is too much. Baby Bear takes a lick and ends up with a purple spot on his white shirt. With the help of his friends, Baby Bear tries to remove the stain, but all he manages to do is make it bigger and bigger.
Abby finally gets the shirt clean using magic; unfortunately, her spell has a side effect—the shirt runs away! By the time the friends wrestle it back, it's filthy again.
Baby Bear worries that he'll get in trouble if he tells Papa Bear the truth about what happened. With Gordon's advice, however, he decides that honesty is the best policy. As it turns out, coming clean was the best thing he could have done.

Can't Play Football
by Slacker And Steve
posted Jun 26 2013 6:23PM
One 12-year-old girl from Georgia has been playing co-ed football since grade school, but is now being kicked off the team due to her developing body! School officials are worried that her teammates will have impure thoughts about her.
Slacker and Steve both agree that impure thoughts will arise
no matter what
(regardless of whether or not she was playing). However, Steve thinks it's okay to remove her from the team to protect her. Slacker also thinks that football is a guys only sport so maybe it's not all that bad that she's not being allowed to play.
What do you think?
I think it's ridiculous that she's being kicked off the team due to something she can't control. This would be the perfect opportunity to teach the male players to have some self-control. Who knows, perhaps the "impure thoughts" reasoning may simply be a cover up for the real reason… she's a girl, football is a guy sport. Maybe I went to a weird high school, but there was in fact a rule stating that if there wasn't a team for the other gender (like football for the girls and volleyball for the guys) then the genders could be mixed (i.e. a guy could in fact play volleyball at my school). If she's good enough to play let her play, and if she wants to play and she's proficient and up to the standards of the sport than let her play. Don't make excuses like boobs are distracting… Yeah, they are. We get it!
Stay classy!

I say let her play. I played coed rugby until I was 13 and couldn't continue for the same reason. Fortunately for me in high school we created a girl's rugby club, but I don't think that will happen with football so let her play. Emily
BJJ Mom
My 11 year old is in BJJ. I called in but didn't get to finish our story. When she competes in tournaments she registers under the kids division which is co-ed. The teen division is co-ed as well. As she gets older, she will compete in the women's division. So to answer your question with a little more clarity, yes, she will compete with women when she gets older. One of the reasons we love BJJ for our daughter now, as a pre teen is because I know and she knows that she will be able to defend herself against the boy/man that decides to put his hands on her in an inappropriate manner. There is a big difference between groping and grappling. While she does comment that she might be uncomfortable grappling with a boy she has a crush on, she has no problem getting on the mat and whooping his tail! When she is on that mat, it's all business.
