I have been trying for days to get Flash working in Firefox, but to no avail. The tut on the Wiki page is obviously outdated, as are the ones that can be found here in the forums. I'm at a loss on how to get Flash working in Firefox on BT 5 R3.
My current workaround is to use Google Chrome. Not Chromium, but Chrome.
The difference between the two is slight, but obvious. Chromium is the dev version, looks and feels like an old version of Chrome, you still need to configure it a bit to use it in BT, and you still need to install Flash. There are many tutorials on the net on how to do this, and even a couple here in the forums, I think. So, I won't go into it.
Google Chrome for public usage has a stable release for both Mac OS and Linux. The main difference here is that it comes with Flash pre-installed. So, once you have installed Chrome on your BT box, you just run it, and voila, Nessus, Metasploit, NeXpose, OpenVAS, and whatever else you use a browser for is up and running. No need to worry about installing Flash, and pulling out your hair on removing, copying, and moving all sorts of files. Especially if all that effort fails miserably.
Ok, short tut on how to install Google Chrome on your BT box.
Go download Google Chrome (32-bit or 64-bit .deb file version depending on your box). I dowloaded the 64-bit version coz my box is BT 5 R3 KDE x64.
You can use wget to do this, or I just downloaded it using Firefox. For the diehards who insist on using wget, I'm sorry that I don't have the download link for ya. Forgot to save it, and now too lazy to find it, lol.
Once downloaded, you can just run the file using dpkg:
# dpkg -i Google-Chromefile-name.deb
On my box, I downloaded the file and ran dpkg from my home directory. For the advanced users who downloaded it to a dedicated download directory, you should be able to run dpkg from there. Didn't try, but I don't see why the install would fail if you ran it from a different directory other than your home directory. For youse lazy buggers who hate to type command line script, just click the .deb file and it should run and install automatically (again, I didn't try this, but I don't see why it shouldn't).
Google Chrome installs effortlessly and painlessly. Once installed, you will find it from the K-Menu (for KDE users, and should be the same for Gnome users) where Firefox is.
But, hold on. When you try to run it, an error box pops up and says you can't run Chrome as root! Aaaarrgghhh!
OK, so now we need to edit the Chrome binary a bit. For this, we need to use gedit, so open a terminal or Konsole or whatever funky name you call it, and download and install it from the repo:
# apt-get install gedit
Once that is done, type and enter:
# whereis google-chrome
The output should show /usr/bin/google-chrome and some other location which I can't remember (coz it wasn't important, lol).
Next, input:
# gedit /usr/bin/google-chrome
The gedit tool will open a window.
Go to the very bottom of the text and add --user-data-dir
Make sure you put a space between the $@ and the --user-data-dir
Now go to the top left and click on File & then Save. Close the gedit window.
Open Google Chrome and it will run. Flash is playing fine, and I've yet to encounter any problems.
OK, some of you want something like the NoScript add-on for Firefox (I hear someone screaming at the back Chrome is not secure and is lousy for pentesting!). The most popular extensions for Chrome are NotScript and ScriptNo. Neither is as elegant or intuitive to use as NoScript for Firefox, but they get the job done.
One final parting shot. I really want to make Flash working in Firefox on my BT 5 R3. So, if anyone does have a solution, the OP and myself would greatly appreciate it. And, if you are in my neck of the woods, I'll buy you a drink (or two) as well.
P.S. Whenever Google Chrome is updated, you will have to use gedit and modify again as shown above.

In HBO's Unscripted, acting veers between being a noble calling and a glorified form of prostitution; performers seeking to apply their craft are forced into a degrading form of exhibitionism, wheeled out like slabs of meat to be mercilessly judged by casting agents and filmmakers. In that respect, it perfectly suits the improvised, voyeuristic, fly-on-the-wall style of another 2003 show from Unscripted executive producers George Clooney and Steven Soderbergh—K Street similarly blurred the line between fact and fiction by casting leads as thinly fictionalized versions of themselves.
In K Street, those semi-leads were heavyweight political spin-doctors Mary Matalin and James Carville. In Unscripted, they're lightweight thespians Bryan Greenberg, a big, dopey, all-American dreamboat angling for his big break; Jennifer Hall, a singer-actress trying to break out of extras work and demeaning day jobs such as wearing a Statue of Liberty costume to lure customers into a car wash; and Krista Allen, a veteran of such softcore epics as Emmanuelle: Queen Of The Galaxy, striving vainly to be taken seriously as an actress.
None of these up-and-comers seems particularly brainy or talented, which lends the show a weird poignancy. At its most bittersweet, Unscripted captures the vulnerability of actors fighting off that nagging internal voice that says maybe they just aren't fated to make it big, and their careers will peak with bit parts, softcore porn, or roles on second-rate soaps or sitcoms. So a plot thread involving Greenberg being cast as a lead in a major motion picture opposite Meryl Streep and Uma Thurman would seem wildly implausible, if not for the fact that in the real world, Greenberg really was cast alongside Thurman and Streep in Prime.
Unscripted's breezy, featherweight tone is both a liability and one of its greatest assets. The series' 10 episodes are so slight that a strong gust of wind would probably blow them into a new area code. They're the TV equivalent of junk food: wildly addictive, yet almost wholly without substance. During most episodes, just about the only thing grounding the series is the gravity Frank Langella brings to his role as a brooding acting-class instructor, a fascinating paradox who's simultaneously a sage guru and an incorrigible lecher. Unlike Greenberg, Hall, and Allen, Langella isn't playing a fictionalized version of himself, but his performance certainly benefits from the iconic baggage he brings to it. In one particularly haunting scene, Langella wistfully catches a glimpse of his much younger self on TV (in a clip taken from 1970's The Twelve Chairs). In that moment, the intervening decades seem to take on an almost physical presence, and the students' idealized conception of acting as an honorable, long-term profession for adults doesn't seem quite so ridiculous or quixotic after all.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) — The former mayor of the New Mexico border town of Columbus has pleaded guilty to federal gun smuggling charges.
U.S. Attorney John E. Murphy announced Wednesday that 51-year-old Eddie Espinoza has pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy, three counts of making false statements in the acquisition of firearms, and three counts of smuggling firearms from the United States.
Murphy says Espinoza entered the plea Tuesday afternoon before U.S. Magistrate Judge William P. Lynch in Las Cruces. Sentencing has not yet been scheduled.
Espinoza, the town's police chief and a Columbus trustee were among 12 people arrested in March in a federal sting.

Heavy rains cause Kiski Valley flooding
"Not since Hurricane Ivan" was a common response from Alle-Kiski Valley residents when asked if they'd ever seen flooding like that experienced Wednesday afternoon.
Rescue crews were saturated with calls about flooded roads, creeks, yards and basements starting at about 2 p.m. Wednesday.
A deep layer of very moist air accounted for the 2 to more-than-3-inches of rain slamming eastern Butler County, western Armstrong County and throughout Westmoreland County in a two-hour period, according to Brad Rehak, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Moon Township.
It didn't take long for water to back up on roadways due to overwhelmed or clogged storm drains.
People were trapped in flooded homes in Bethel, Gilpin, Parks and Washington townships. Residents along Glade Run Road in North Buffalo and in Craigsville in the Worthington/West Franklin area had been evacuated from their homes by boat.
There were reports of flooded roads and people trapped in their cars in Allegheny Township, North Apollo, Oklahoma and Vandergrift.
"We've had close to 500 calls in the last two hours," said Armstrong County Coordinator Ronald Baustert at the Emergency Management Center in Rayburn.
Most were reports of flooded basements and roads and downed trees, Baustert said.
School buses were behind schedule as they tried to navigate around flooded roads.
Emergency crews were sent out to clear mud slides along Route 66 in Bethel and elsewhere.
There were no immediate reports of injuries.
Washington Twp. hit
Some elderly residents had to be helped from their homes in The Meadows mobile home park in Washington Township after Pine Run creek overflowed its banks. Water surrounded more than a dozen homes closest to the creek.
Firefighters were able to wade through the water and carry the residents out on stretchers, said police Chief Scott Slagle. He said when he went in to help, the water was about 2 feet deep.
Within about an hour, the water had begun to recede.
"We went in and moved our cars as soon as we saw the drain in the corner of the lot backing up," said resident Sandy Stiffler. No water got into their trailer, she and her mother said.
They were surprised by the extent of the flooding.
"Normally, it's like this after two or three days of heavy rain," Stiffler said.
4 feet deep in Apollo
In Apollo, about 4 feet of water pooled on Route 66 at 11th Street in Apollo.
The driver of a vehicle that got stuck in floodwaters there was able to get out unharmed.
It took about a 90 minutes for firefighters to clear enough debris from drains that the water began to recede.
Several tractor-trailer trucks that got stuck between flooded area behind them on Route 66 and at 11th Street had been sitting idle for at least 90 minutes, waiting for the roadway to reopen.
Shirley Stewart, the owner of Valley Florist on First Street, said she had never seen flooding like Wednesday's deluge during her 27 years in business.
"I have a couple of inches in here," she said. "My computer's in water. It came through the walls."
The flower shop didn't close because of the water, Stewart said.
"I have a vacuum that will be able to suck up the water," she said. "I have to go home and get it.
"But I just want to sit down and cry."
After working the night shift at Allegheny Ludlum, Curtis Woods, 43, of 11th Street slept through the storms, only to be awakened by his wife as their basement had 3 feet of water.
"The water has recessed, but now I've got a basement full of mud and debris," said Woods, who raked up broken limbs and other material left by the flood Wednesday evening.
Residents said it's typical for water to back up there, but not to the extend it did Wednesday.
"I don't think anybody has ever gotten their car stuck in it," said Apollo resident Tom Sallade.
Avonmore plant OK
It only took about five minutes for water to begin rushing into Reynolds Manufacturing along Railroad Avenue in Avonmore: "The water came in faster than any of the storm sewers could handle," said Brett Stevenson, Reynolds' controller.
Stevenson said the shop floor was filled with about 5 inches of water, but the plant wouldn't need to shut down because the equipment workers use is kept off the ground.
Man trapped in house
Skinall Road in Cadogan Township was under at least 2 feet of water when a nearby creek flooded. The waters rose quickly, trapping Ralph Cardinal in his home.
Cardinal's son, Jody Cardinal, said his father stayed calm while the floodwaters rose around his home.
"We're worried about his breathing, since he takes treatments and probably doesn't have electricity available," Cardinal said.
During the flood, water swept over Cardinal's car, moving it across the parking lot, Jody Cardinal said.
"The creek was dredged several years ago to keep this from happening," he said. "But I don't think anything could have stopped this."
Parks Township damage
On several sections of River Road (Route 66) in Parks Township headed toward Leechburg, small rocks and other debris had been washed into the road.
In one section near Riverview Homes nearly the entire roadway was flooded; though cars could get by in the lane closest to the river. Flares on both sides warned drivers of the hazard.
Outside River Road Six Pack in Parks, muddy water cascaded down steps near a wooden pavilion and out onto the road.
"It was like a raging river over there," said customer John Lute of Vandergrift.
Power outages
West Penn Power was reporting outages in Allegheny, Armstrong and Westmoreland counties.
Bethel, Cadogan, Fawn, Manor, North Buffalo, Parks, South Buffalo, Washington and Upper Burrell townships were among the most impacted communities.

PARENTS left heartbroken by the death of their 'lovely and cheeky' little boy are channelling their efforts into preventing further deaths from the cond-ition which killed him.
Adorable eight-year-old Aaron Dearden, from Ramsbottom, suffered a fatal asthma attack last April.
His parents Rachel Turner, 31, and Colin Dearden, 37, are determined no- one else should suffer the same fate, and are fundraising for charity Asthma UK.
Rachel and Colin spoke of the space in their lives 'where Aaron should be' as the first anniversary of his death approaches.
Aaron had just been named Star of the Week at Peel Brow Primary School, and had been to see the head three times in a day for his excellent work.
But two days later, on Sunday, April 28, he had an asthma attack at his home, in Poplar Grove. Despite efforts to save Aaron, it is believed the attack triggered a cardiac arrest, and he died at Fairfield Hospital later that morning.
Aaron, who has an 11-year-old brother Charlie, and sister Millie, six, was diag-nosed with chronic asthma at the age of two, and had previously stayed in hosp-ital after asthma attacks.
Rachel and Colin, now of Lime Grove, hope to hold an annual summer funday, in support of Asthma UK, to increase training and impr-ove research.
Colin said: "We do not want anybody to go through what we have been through and wish no child, or adult, would die from an asthma attack.
"I don't think a lot of people realise how serious asthma can be, or what to do in an emergency – and a little bit of training could save a life.
"That's what the big plan is on behalf of the little man."
Aaron was so passionate about his role as lodge leader with the 2nd Ramsbottom (St Paul with St John's) Beavers he was buried in his uniform, with his cap by his side.
At his funeral, at St John's Church, in Shuttleworth, members of his Beaver colony formed a guard of honour, and sang at the service, alongside Peel Brow Primary pupils.
On the morning of April 28, Aaron had gone into his mum Rachel's bedroom struggling to breathe.
After she took him down-stairs to try and give him his inhaler, he collapsed in her arms. Aaron's brother Charlie called the ambulance, ass-isted Rachel with first aid, and ran next door to get the neighbours, who were already on their way after hearing shouting.
Rachel said: "Charlie did his best to save his little brother, and couldn't have done anything else.
Colin said: "Charlie went from boy to man that day. We are so proud of him."
After paramedics arrived, they worked on Aaron in the ambulance before he was transported to hospital, with Rachel travelling in a car behind. Meanwhile, police spent several hours search-ing for Colin, who had been staying with a friend, to tell him the news.
Colin said: "I still do not understand. He was on fire the day before, on top Aaron form. He was so full of life, so lovely and cheeky. I would like to thank the police offic-ers who told me – they were like two rocks at either side of me.
"They said it was the hard- est job they had ever had to do."
Rachel said: "There is a space in our lives. We just miss him, and Charlie and Millie miss their brother so much."

The history of mass manufacturing is stitched through with accidents and peril. The first factories, which powered the industrial revolution in 18th century Britain, brought death and injury to many workers, including children. Mill fires in the UK were so common that some industrialists bought their own steam fire-engines in an effort to bring down insurance premiums.
The factory model spread fast. By the 19th century, the word 'sweatshop' had begun to enter popular parlance, with Charles Kingsley referring to 'sweaters' – or garment workers – in his 1850 tract 'Cheap Clothes & Nasty' ("Men ought to know the condition of those by whose labour they live", he warned). Meanwhile, in the US:
"The term 'sweatshop'… was meant to describe "sweated labor," work that a big clothing manufacturer contracts out to a smaller firm… The labor was "sweated" because of the conditions of the factories – cramped, crowded, and full of damp heat from the steam-driven pressers." – Bill Buford, 'Sweat is Good', The New Yorker
How did things get better? Safety standards encoded in law, industrial design improvements, the growth of unions, and public outrage helped bring change to the factories of western economies. But all too often, the impetus for reform seemed to require the catalyst of a terrible accident.
Today, the majority of factory accidents (though not all) take place in the developing and newly industrialized world – places like Bangladesh, Pakistan, China and India. The death of more than 200 people this week in a factory on the outskirts of Daka is a challenge both to the Bangladeshi government, and to western retailers.
The cost of change, to some observers, seems prohibitive – but if passed on to western consumers, it might actually be tiny. Jason Motlagh and Susie Taylor report: "An analysis by WRC estimates the garment industry would have to spend some $3 billion over five years to bring Bangladesh's roughly 4,500 factories up to Western standards. That amounts to less than 10 cents a garment."
Here are five of the worst factory accidents. There are many, many more. You will notice that we've focused on recent decades, but only because these were the best documented online. You may also notice that there are certain factors that the worst incidents have in common. The most frequent is locked doors.
1) May 25, 1911: The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire, New York
Death toll: 146 people, mostly Jewish and Italian immigrants, mostly women.
The owners of Triangle Shirtwaist, Isaac Harris and Max Blanck, were indicted by a grand jury on charges of manslaughter a few weeks after the fire. You can read a transcript of the proceedings of the case via Cornell University. The chief prosecutor, Assistant District Attorney Charles S. Bostwick, pulled no punches.
"Others ran to the Washington place door. One of these was Margaret Schwartz, now dead. And it is for her death that these defendants are now on trial.
Gentlemen of the jury, that door was locked. Those who ran to that door cried out 'That door is locked. My God, we are lost.' They were lost. That locked door barred their escape."

Jeremiah Chamberlain (1740-1829) was the eldest son of Ninian Chamberlain, Sr. (1719-1804) and Jennet Unknown (1720-1784), of Jefferson Co., TN, as family wills and other official documents unmistakably prove. He was an accomplished surveyor. He is said to have come to America from Ireland with his parents and siblings at the age of 16 (c1756). Jeremiah married Margaret Carmichael in 1787, and was the father of nine children, among them Ninian Chamberlain (1792-1877) of Corryton, Knox Co. (where the Chamberlain-Little Family Cemetery came to be located). The couple settled in what was to become Grainger Co. Originally buried in the Chamberlain family cemetery in May Spring, Grainger Co., TN, Jeremiah's body was among those removed to Martha Sunderland Cemetery, Hamblen Co., in the early 1940s to make way for Cherokee Lake. Although his headstone indicates that he died in 1824, his will and probate documents clearly show that he lived until 1829. (He wrote his will on 27 Apr. 1829.) Jeremiah Chamberlain fought in the Revolutionary War as a soldier for NC, reportedly serving as a private at the Battle of Kings Mtn. and afterwards accompanying Col. John Sevier on expeditions against the Chickamauga Tories. In 1796, he was named a member of the first grand jury of the newly formed county of Grainger.
Besides their son Ninian (mentioned above), Jeremiah and Margaret's children included: Mary (Polly), 1788-1872; Jennet, 1790-1870; Daniel C., 1794-1866; Thompson, 1796-1885; Margaret Jane (Peggy), 1799-1877; Elizabeth (Betsy), 1803-1850; Andrew, 1806-1833; and James (1809-1889). Several of them migrated to MO and, in some cases, eventually moved on to TX.

Detroit Diary The GLIBA trade showOctober 15, 2010 • 6 Comments • category: News and Publicity
Morning BBQ, Bookstores in Airports, & Red Cowboy Boots:
Life on the road at GLIBA's trade show
Monday, October 7th, 10:48am:
On Friday, Algonquin has me all set to board a plane for Dearborn, Michigan, en route to visit GLIBA—the Great Lakes Independent Booksellers Association–which will be my first trade show. Dearborn! My first trip to Dearborn! I proceed to email several co-workers with the following: Dearborn is known for its Automotive Hall of Fame and the ever popular Henry Ford Museum. Jealous of my upcoming adventures? No one responds to said email.
Thursday, October 6th, 6:42pm:
Having accepted that I am absolutely incapable when it comes to packing (I might need a ball gown! Or a bathing suit! Or a ball gown that tears off halfway to reveal a bathing suit!) I decide to pack early so I will be fully ready to go in the morning.
Friday, October 7th, 6:38am:
Fell asleep watching "Grey's Anatomy." Something about Cristina telling Owen she could no longer be a doctor. How could I fall asleep twelve hours ago? Do I have an iron deficiency? Should I be eating more red meat? I spend the next thirty minutes flinging black dresses off hangers, and packing not one but two pairs of ankle boots into my roll-on suitcase.
8:00am, en route to Raleigh-Durham airport:
Realize I have forgotten to pack deodorant.
Raleigh-Durham airport has a used bookstore across the kiosk from its Borders! A used bookstore! I contemplate purchasing a slightly warped copy of "Twilight" for ten dollars as a gift for my younger sister. Then realize I have only five dollars in cash on me. Second thing to check off my what-I-forgot-list—didn't make it to an ATM before the airport.
Walk past Carolina BBQ pit. Is it too early to eat BBQ in the morning? My friend Becca would say no. The woman in line ordering a half-order of ribs would say no. Pause and contemplate getting a BBQ sandwich for breakfast. Seriously think about getting iron levels checked out.
10:32am, the plane:
I was hoping something like this would happen before takeoff. Sadly, our safety instructions are routine.
Start reading hilarious book for spring list, Cardboard Gods by Josh Wilker. Vow to have it finished by the time plane lands. Promptly fall asleep until wheels touch down in Dearborn. Is there a chance I could have mono? How many times can a person have mono in her life?
Detroit! My first time in Detroit! As I make my way to the taxi stand to meet Algonquin author Caroline Leavitt, I am transfixed by the airport's light and sound tunnel. Realize five minutes into tunnel that I have totally been to Detroit before, en route to Japan. Blame iron deficiency for lack of memory?
Neither Caroline's nor my hotel key seems to work. A strange man approaches us in the hallway. Let me, let me! he cries and before we can say anything, he tries first one door, then another. As if he we haven't tried before. Undeterred, he gets on his cell phone. I'm friends with the manager, he explains. Room 1004 and 1006! There's a problem! he yells. Get someone to fix this right away! We are dumbfounded; he disappears soon thereafter. Welcome to GLIBA?
Lunch with another Algonquin author, the fabulous Jay Varner. I'm not taking any chances with whatever iron imbalance is going on with my system: I order the burger. If a burger shake were an option, I would have ordered that, too. Jay lives in Charlottesville now, my old stomping grounds. We swap stories of the downtown mall, JPJ, Grisham sightings at the UVA basketball game. Burger craving satisfied…for now.
Caroline is a speed demon signing copies of her book, Pictures of You, for booksellers. What should take at least an hour has us there for no more than twenty minutes. Which leaves us with a bit of down time before I'm due to escort her to her author feast…
Somehow, I am now running late to pick up Caroline thanks to the riveting documentary on gang wars on the History Channel. Fact of the day: 'breeding' means selecting a future gang member(s) for your gang. This I did not know before.
Notice Caroline's amazing red cowboy boots from eBay. Vow to get myself a pair. After iron levels are checked out, of course.
Meet Jay at the cocktail reception before what ends up to be his standing room only reading, for his memoir Nothing Left to Burn. Offer to buy him a drink beforehand. Order drink, only then realize the bar is cash-only.
Sit at Author Feast with both Caroline and the absolutely charming former sales rep Charlie Boswell, who ends up being Caroline's escort for the evening. Before the evening begins with Caroline rotating to several tables of booksellers, listen to Executive Director Jim Dana give a tear-inducing retirement speech in which he chronicles his start as a bookseller, his fight to defend freedom of speech in the '80s (thus being labeled, "The Porn King of Ottawa County"), his creation of GLIBA, and now, in the new chapter of his life, joining the Peace Corps to teach English in Africa.
Too busy talking to Scholastic young adult author Siobhan Vivian about her third upcoming novel and the fantastic booksellers of the Michigan area to focus on dinner. Somehow manage to get in half a piece of cheesecake before joining Caroline at the personal signing booth.
Caroline has managed to personalize every book at her table. We stay until there are no more books left to sign. I bid her goodnight and make it back to my room to watch the final thirty minutes of the History Channel's gang documentary.
Saturday, October 8th 8:00am
A bit sleepy-eyed, Caroline and I stand outside waiting for our cab. Three men dash into the hotel, yelling at the top of their lungs, then run outside moments later, one of the men waving a tuxedo from his arms.
At the airport, the airport security guard tells me she loves my outfit. Fantastic way to start the morning! Siobhan ends up in line in front of us and we chat about future upcoming conferences and tours while stripping ourselves of jackets, cowboy boots, and scarves.
I bid farewell to Caroline, then make my way to my gate where I discover there is a Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, the only one of its kind on the East Coast (I asked to make sure). I order a large ice blended mocha to remind me of home, drink the sugary caffeinated drink, then promptly fall into a deep sleep on the plane, my head lolling against the kind gentlemen sitting next to me. I really must get my iron checked.

I had never met or heard of Jim before that night and his speech totally moved me to tears, although I promptly forgot about them thanks to the amazing authors who cycled through my table. It was so nice meeting you, Megan! You didn't even seem like you were suffering from low iron levels. I mean, you recognized my blog name right away!

The effects of bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) are wide-ranging in terms of reproductive issues, adult and calf health, and production. Much has been written about BVDV over the years and much has been and is still being discovered, but in spite of that misinformation "myths" about BVDV still remain.
Dan Givens, DVM, PhD, Auburn University, discusses the plausibility of the most persistent myths about BVDV. Givens categorizes these myths by:
Confirmed Research evidence confirms the truth of this myth.
Implausible Worthy of disbelief based on available research evidence.
Busted Research evidence confirms the fallacy of this myth.
Here are three myths in a list of 15 about BVDV that Givens says are "busted":
Myth 4: A cow or heifer must already carry the BVDV virus before pregnancy in order to produce a PI calf.
Busted. A cow or heifer only has to sustain an infection with BVDV before approximately four to five months of gestation to produce a PI calf. At that point in gestation, the calf's immune system develops the competence to recognize BVDV as a viral intruder and prevent persistent infection. Just like there is variability in the age at which a calf will reach 65% of its mature body weight, there is variability in the gestational age at which immunocompetence is achieved.
One study describes a set of twin calves in which one was persistently infected with BVDV and the other was not. Another study describes a PI calf that resulted when a pregnant cow was exposed to BVDV at a gestational age of 182 days. However, the vast majority of calves will not be susceptible to persistent infection after 150 days of gestation.
At the other end of the window of susceptibility, PI dams will always produce PI calves by natural gestation. Insemination of non-viremic, seronegative heifers with BVDV-contaminated semen can result in a low percentage of PI calves. Controlled research does demonstrate that calves are less susceptible to persistent infection at 18 days of gestation compared to 30 days of gestation.
Myth 5: Unless it's PI, BVDV infection in utero doesn't have that much effect on the calf.
Busted. Limiting the in utero impact of BVDV to persistent infections is a fallacy. Without resulting in PI calves, BVDV can cause cerebellar hypoplasia, microencephalopathy, hydrocephalus, hydranencephaly, porencephaly, hypomyelination, cataracts, microopthalmia, optic neuritis, retinal degeneration, thymic hypoplasia, deranged osteogenesis, and growth retardation. While these calves will not be persistently infected and will be negative for virus if tested at birth, the etiology of congenital defects is a transient BVDV infection that disrupted organogenesis. Diagnostic, pre-colostral serum samples will contain anti-BVDV antibodies as the immune system won the war against this pestivirus but the combination of direct cellular damage by virus and the inflammatory response to BVDV causes multiple battle sites within the calf to be destroyed.
Myth 6: PI calves will always look normal at birth.
Busted. While calves persistently infected with BVDV can present as normal calves, many times they are small and unthrifty or can exhibit a congenital defect such as mandibular brachygnathism. In one study, all neonatal calves presenting with mandibular brachygnathism from a herd outbreak involving abortions and premature births tested positive for BVDV. Natural and experimental reports suggest that BVDV infection between 79 and 90 days of gestation can result in brachygnathism and persistent infection. In another study, the median live calf birth weights were 37 pounds for persistently infected calves in comparison to 65 pounds for uninfected calves (Givens et al., yet to be published).

Paradigms accepted as self-evident truths occasionally need to be re-examined. Corporate taxation is one of them. While governments are looking more and more for fiscal resources to fill budget gaps under the auspices of "rationalizing" the corporate tax systems, this article argues that a new, minimalistic approach to corporate taxation can yield surprising benefits.

Bury is bracing itself for disruption after sleet turned to snowfall today.
Travel problems have already been reported across Bury as motorists became suddenly caught out and the snow began to stick.
Commuters said they were forced to drive slower than usual because of the conditions. There is a lot of snow around Fairfield Hospital with the car park quite slippy. Patients are urged to take care and to allow time for their journey.
There is also slower than usual traffic on the M60, particularly around Simister Island.
Rain and snow will continue today with temperatures falling as low as minus one but the snowfall is not expected to last.
The weather in Bury for the rest of the week is forecast to be a mixture of sun and cloud, but temperatures will continue to fall as low as -3.
Light snowfall is expected again on Saturday.
Nick Prebble, a forecaster for MeteoGroup, the weather division of the Press Association, said: "Most places in England will see a good dusting of snow this morning, but a heavier fall will come later in the day."

Aqib Talib grabbed his hip after seeing just one play on defense and missed the entire second half with a hip injury that had been ailing him since he hurt it against the San Francisco 49ers. With Alfonzo Dennard also down and Marquice Cole suffering an injury against the Jaguars, the Patriots are once again very thin in the secondary.
Talib entered the Jacksonville game after the New England secondary was picked apart on the game's opening drive. While on the field, he continued to grab his hip and was permanently removed from the game after only eight defensive snaps. With Alfonzo Dennard also out after suffering an injury against the 49ers, Devin McCourty was forced to move from safety to corner, where he has been much less effective this season.
"I'm definitely getting better, working every day trying to get better, and we'll see what happens," Talib said of injury.
The status of Talib, Dennard, and linebacker Brandon Spikes, who sat out Sunday's game with knee and ankle injuries, is uncertain for this week and for the playoffs, which are only two weeks away. A first round bye is even more important for the Patriots now, to give their ailing defense an extra week to heal. Talib, Spikes, and Dennard along with 17 other Patriots have been limited at practice all week.Tags: Alfonzo Dennard, Aqib Talib, Brandon Spikes, Devin McCourty, Football, injury, Marquice Cole, New England, New England Patriots, NFL

Three Ways to Be Happier at Work
Feeling stuck and unhappy? You don't need to find a new job to be happier at work — we promise!
-Matthew D. Della Porta , Ph.D., YouBeauty.com
If you feel unhappy at work, you are not alone; work-related stress is one of the most common problems reported by working individuals.
Some have demanding clients and constant, short deadlines. Others have bosses who are incompetent, unsympathetic or who expect subordinates to ignore or cover up unethical practices. Still, others simply don't enjoy the work that they do, finding it boring, unfulfilling or meaningless.
If anything I just described sounds familiar, don't assume that you need a new job to feel happier at work. Indeed, making an effort to improve your happiness, regardless of where you are employed, can yield beneficial workplace outcomes that once seemed out of reach.
Read How to Handle Difficult People
In fact, research suggests that, compared to those who are unhappy, happy people are better leaders, more productive, better at coping with stress, less likely to get sick and have higher salaries1. Although your job might be unbearable right now, trying some of the simple strategies below can transform your daily experience and give you a fresh start at work.
1. Write down 3 things that went well.
It might be difficult to imagine them, but focus on three good things that happened at work. Think carefully about your co-workers, where you work, the kind of work that you do or any other important details that remind you of the positive things about your job.
One study done at an international technology company found that employees who recalled three positive, work-related events once a week for six weeks were happier, more motivated, more productive and more diligent, compared to employees who did not do this activity2. Try this at the end of your workday or when you get home. If you need some inspiration, look no further than some of America's worst jobs, and you might have a newfound appreciation for what you do!

Widespread Adoption of Intermittent Renewable Energy Generation, the Smart Grid and Electric Vehicles: Barriers and Synergies
Michael Caramanis, Professor of Mechanical and Systems Engineering, Boston University
Friday, February 19, 2010, 3:30pm
Spanos Auditorium
This seminar is part of the Jones Seminars on Science, Technology, and Society series
The Smart Grid means different things to different people. A general definition that constitutes a superset of the definitions adopted by special-interest-stakeholders construes the smart grid as consisting of hardware, automation, communication and intelligence embedded in centralized generation, T&D, meters, electricity use appliances, and distributed generation and resources such as roof top PV, small storage, intelligent appliances and HEVs. We believe that realizing the full benefits of the Smart Grid will require firms to integrate cyber-physical infrastructure with technologies and markets that make cost information easily available to large and small users alike (distributed loads as well as generation resources such as roof top PV and storage). This integrated entity will constitute a new Smart Grid Business Platform which will enable participants to capture value from improved load scheduling, networked business models, and new contract designs responding to the new markets' enhanced information signals. The increased value generated by the Smart Grid Business Platform will shape the evolution of public policy and real time electricity markets which are needed for clean energy technologies to first augment and eventually replace existing technologies. The real time information flow created by intelligent systems that include generators, the transmission and distribution infrastructure and the user community will support new work flow designs, spawn highly distributed service based organizations, sustain innovation at the product level, and, perhaps most critically, give rise to new market structures that use price signals to facilitate more efficient behavior. The combination of the new products, services and related markets will lead to a significant transformation across the entire energy value chain. We close by presenting an example of intermittent-clean-generation and HEV-load-management synergies that can be realized in smart grid enabled markets.
About the Speaker
Michael Caramanis received his BS from Stanford University and MS and PhD from Harvard University. He served at the Greek National Energy council (1976-79) the MIT Energy Laboratory (1979-82) and was chair of the Greek Regulatory Authority for Energy from February 2005 till recently. He has directed several research projects sponsored by NSF, EPRI, NYSERDA and the Industry, authored many journal articles and co-authored Spot Pricing of Electricity, Kluwer, 1988. He researches complex stochastic production systems and decision support in real-time electric power markets. He currently focuses on the Cyber-Physical-Energy-System/Smart Grid that (i) is open to developers and users to render it capable of supporting real-time market at the wholesale and retail levels, and (ii) enables load and distributed resource management to mitigate T&D and Ancillary Services congestion and realize synergies among market-ready sustainable energy technologies including wind generation, distributed storage, roof-top PV and Hybrid Electric Vehicles.

Well after cooking all day Sun.,I wasn't going to cook on Mon.But had four rolls of sausage in the fridge,for three weeks.I put the sausages in the freezer,until they started to get a little hard.I did this,so when I split them opened,they wouldn't be too soft to work with.So I split each on down the middle,brushed the inside with maple syrup.I then chopped an onion up,put that inside,&added cheese.Closed the sausage up [Letting the sausage get hard a little,worked well for this].I then brushed maple sryup all over the sausage,&rolled them in Italian season bread crumbs.Wrapped bacon around them,smoked for about four hrs.I'm here to tell you,they were the best fatties,That I've cooked.The bread crumbs put a nice crust on them.Gosh,it was so good.
Sun.I smoked about 5# of rib tips.I used the recipe on page 157,from the new book.I made the spicy apple bbq sauce,that it called for.What a hit they were.I also smoked four racks of Lone Star beef ribs,along with the mop sauce.Recipe from the new book.The raves that I recieved,was worth all of the work.Sorry no pics.I was just so tired,from getting only two hrs.of sleep,the nite before.In fact,I didn't try the ribs,until 10.00 pm.Sun.
Sorry for the long post.

Nervous system
Nearly all patients treated with chlorpheniramine experience drowsiness. This drowsiness may subside in some patients with extended use.
Few cases of dyskinesias and tremors, often of the face, have been reported in patients whose chronic use of chlorpheniramine extended over a period of 3 to 10 years. Some of these cases were only partially relieved by discontinuation of the drug. Haloperidol was successful in relieving symptoms.[Ref]
Nervous system side effects of chlorpheniramine have included drowsiness in 75% or more of treated patients. Dyskinesias have rarely been reported following chronic use of chlorpheniramine.
Nervous system side effects of dextromethorphan have included drowsiness and dizziness. Other side effects such as excitation, mental confusion, and opioid like respiratory depression have been rare and occurred at higher dosages. In some cases of abuse, patients experienced euphoria, hyperactivity, mania, and auditory and visual hallucinations.
Nervous system side effects of pseudoephedrine have included insomnia in up to 30% of patients. Tremor, anxiety, nervousness, and headache have also been reported.[Ref]
Gastrointestinal side effects of chlorpheniramine have included dry mouth and constipation in up to one-third of treated patients.
Gastrointestinal side effects of dextromethorphan have included stomach upset.
Gastrointestinal side effects of pseudoephedrine have included anorexia and gastric irritation in approximately 5% of patients. Dry mouth, nose, or throat have occurred in up to 15% of patients.[Ref]
Pseudoephedrine causes vasoconstriction which generally does not produce hypertension, but may be problematic for patients with preexisting hypertension. Arrhythmias may be produced in predisposed patients. Rarely, pseudoephedrine has been reported to cause coronary artery spasm and chest pain.
One report evaluated the effect with 60 mg of pseudoephedrine on individuals in a hyperbaric chamber at 1 atmosphere (simulated scuba dive to 66 feet of sea water). Pseudoephedrine and depth (simulated) were found to have significant but opposite effects on heart rate, although these effects were unlikely to be clinically significant during diving.[Ref]
Cardiovascular side effects of chlorpheniramine have included hypotension, tachycardia, and palpitations.
Cardiovascular side effects of pseudoephedrine have included tachycardia. Some patients have developed hypertension and/or arrhythmias.[Ref]
Ocular effects of chlorpheniramine have included blurred vision, diplopia, and dry eyes due to anticholinergic effects.[Ref]
Genitourinary side effects of chlorpheniramine have included dysuria, urinary hesitancy, and a decreased urine flow. In rare cases, the anticholinergic effect of chlorpheniramine has precipitated acute urinary retention.[Ref]
Hematologic side effects of chlorpheniramine have included bone marrow suppression, thrombocytopenia, and aplastic anemia.[Ref]
A fatal case of agranulocytosis has been reported in a patient taking chlorpheniramine, pseudoephedrine, acetaminophen, dextromethorphan, phenylpropanolamine, and aspirin. Chlorpheniramine was felt to be the cause.[Ref]
Hypersensitivity side effects of dextromethorphan have included rare reports of fixed-drug eruptions.

When I was little I lived in Philadelphia, just steps from an ice cream parlor. At the time I didn't know what Philadelphia-Style ice cream was, nor would I have cared. All I knew was that the ice cream was cold, creamy and delicious.
Fast-forward 40 years and I am brought back to this memory by a desire for chocolate ice cream. I'd usually make my favorite "French" custard base, which results in a rich, creamy, luscious ice cream, but I wanted it fast and without fuss. The French-style requires making an egg custard and then adding flavors. But, this is by no means the only way to make fantastic ice creams. The eggless version is often referred to as Philadelphia-style, which is just cream, sugar and lots of flavor. The texture is a bit lighter but no less delicious, and it is so simple and fast to put together.
Philadelphia-Style Chocolate Ice Cream
2 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup cocoa powder (Dutch-process or natural)
3/4 cup sugar
Pinch salt
1 teaspoon orange zest (optional)
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla
To make the ice cream:
In a non-reactive sauce pot, whisk together the cream, cocoa, sugar, and salt.
Mix until smooth and heat over medium heat until just simmering.
Add the chopped chocolate and whisk gently until completely smooth. Remove from heat.
Add the milk and whisk to combine.
Pour the chocolate mixture into a bowl (strain if you added the zest), cover with plastic and refrigerate until completely chilled, about 3 hours or overnight.
When the mixture is chilled it will be much thicker.
Freeze according to your ice cream maker's instructions.

Convention of Winterthur
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
The Convention of Wintherthur is a convention on the rights of Internet users to IP address space.
The main outcome of this convention is the fact, that every person walking on the globe has the right to allocate at least 1024 devices with an IP-address to give it Internet connectivity. One of the Internet standards that was a result of the Convention of Winterthur was the IPv3.1416β standard, that became the IP numbering standard of the 21st century.
The location of the Convention of Winterthur was on top of a very high mountain. For this reason, the convention is often called the Winterthur Summit.
The fact that the organizers of the Convention of Winterthur were all part of the board of the Global Skiing League is purely coincidential.
edit The Case for an own Convention
The inhabitants of Winterthur got fed up by the fact that other Swiss cities like Geneva and even Lugano had their own conventions, the Convention of Geneva and the Convention of Lugano respectively, and Winterthur itself did not, that they decided to organize this Convention of Winterthur. If they would have had their own convention earlier, this would not have been necessary. As one spokesman put it: If this convention would have been on the size of bananas or the limitation of air pollution on Swiss high roads, we would have dedicated the convention to that, IPv3.1416β just happened to come along at the right time at the right place.
In 2004, a proposal was made for the Convention of Winterthur to protect young lambs from being sacrificed to the meat industry. As most members of the city council of Winterthur did not care less about the fate of young lambs, this proposal was rejected at an early stage.
In 2006, a proposal was made for the Convention of Winterthur that would sort out environmental issues in Central Europe. Even though Switzerland was interested in sorting these issues, the rest of Central Europa did not care less and the proposal was torpedoed by some Rhetoroman dissidents.
edit Economical Effects of the Convention of Winterthur
Traditionally, the main income of the city of Winterthur comes from the insurance business and industry. With the Convention of Winterthur the city hopes to attract more tourists. The building in which the IPv3.1416β standard was formalized is now a museum that welcomes over 12 million visitors per year. The Winterthur Pie, a very sweet sort of pie, has become world famous and is exported to all countries of the world. The booming tourist industry of Winterthur has inspired other cities in the world to host similar conventions.
An example of such a convention is the Convention of Toyama that tries to protect the rights of new born rabbits world wide.
edit Effects of the Convention on the City of Winterthur
Winterthur has an area of 68.1 km2 (26.3 sq mi). Of this area, 27% is used for agricultural purposes, while 41.4% is reserved for IPv3.1416β address space. The rest is used for agglomeration. The reason for reserving so much of the area for IP address space is the fact that the mayor of the city anticipated the popularity of the new protocol. Every year, a few houses are broken down in order to expand the area that can be dedicated to IP address space. To compensate for this, huge sky scapers are built in the city and it is estimated that by the year 2050, half the population of Winterthur will live in such a sky scraper.
edit Convention of Winterthur Hooliganism
Every now and then, Winterthur is in the news because of IPv6 hooligans. These hooligans believe that is a crappy standard and the the IPv6 standard should have had a proper chance. They maintain, that the IPv3.1416β standard was only adopted by the general public because of its simplistic approach, which resulted in millions of stand alone computers with limited functionality all over the world. Proponents of the IPv3.1416β argue, that at least this standard has been adopted by the general public, as opposed to more sound but less popular standards.

You know you're in a bad way when you're forced to employ reality TV stars to trash your competition. But that's exactly what Microsoft has done with its latest Scroogled ads, starring the dudes from "Pawn Stars."
Full confession: I am not a reality TV fan in any way, shape, or form. But one day last summer I found myself in a hotel room with an afternoon to kill and discovered "Pawn Stars." I was hooked. I can't explain why, exactly, but I love those guys. (I'm doing everything in my power to avoid watching "Duck Dynasty," lest it have the same effect.)
[ For a humorous take on the tech industry's shenanigans, subscribe to Robert X. Cringely's Notes from the Underground newsletter and follow Cringely on Twitter. | Check out InfoWorld TechBrief, your source for quick, smart views on the news you'll be talking about -- subscribe today. ]
It's kind of fun to see Rick, Corey, Chumlee, and the Old Man hit the big time -- assuming that appearing in a Microsoft ad is in fact the big time. But the ad itself has a few major problems.
Pawn to run
It starts with an attractive young woman who brings a Chromebook into the shop, wanting to swap it for "a ticket to Hollywood."
Right away we have a problem: "Pawn Stars" is based in Vegas, right? Hollywood is five hours down Interstate 15 -- turn left at Area 51 and keep going till you see homeless people and breast implants (and possibly homeless people with breast implants). That "ticket" is about $40 worth of gas. But never mind.
Rick Harrison asks, "What makes you think it's worth that much?" (Oh snap!) She replies, "It's a laptop."
He responds:
This is the Google Chromebook, a relatively new kind of device. Because Chromebook applications are Web based, when you're not connected, it's pretty much a brick. That's a major drawback. A traditional PC utilizes built in applications like Office and iTunes that work even when you're offline.
Microsoft is giving a shout-out to iTunes? Seriously? This tells you as much as anything that Microsoft is more worried about Google than Apple. Harrison goes on.
You see this thingie? [Pointing to the Google logo in the corner of the notebook.] That means it's not a real laptop. It doesn't have Windows or Office.
Still, Microsoft wants to make it clear it hasn't forgotten about the whole "I'm a Mac, you're a PC" war that it lost rather badly five years ago. Own a MacBook Air? Sorry Charlie, that's not a real laptop.
Without Wi-Fi it doesn't do much at all.
Well, no, actually, it's not entirely a brick. Google added offline capability to some Chromebook apps more than a year ago. And if you're willing to pony up $1,300, you can get a Chromebook Pixel laptop with a 3G or 4G connection. But let's get back to Harrison, shall we?
And when you are online, Google tracks what you do so they can sell ads.
The actress looks suitably appalled. Harrison continues:
That's how you get Scroogled.... Google is always trying to find ways to make more money off your personal information. This Chromebook hardware makes it even easier for them.
There's one problem with this concept, and it's an obvious one. Bing tracks users just as much as Google does and for the same reasons. Microsoft just isn't anywhere near as good at it as Google.

In light of recent events in the Philippines, Asia Society spoke with Professor Thomas McKenna, author of Muslim Rulers and Rebels: Everyday Politics and Armed Separatism in the Southern Philippines (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1998). Professor McKenna discusses the historical roots of Muslim separatism in the Philippines, the impact of both Spanish and American colonialism on Muslim identity, the implications of the peace agreement in 1996 which resulted in the creation of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), and the distinction between the three principal groups representing Muslim grievances in the Philippines today.
Professor McKenna's book is also available for sale through Barnes and Noble.
The South of the Philippines, where the minority Muslim population is concentrated, managed to evade Spanish colonialism for 300 years. Could you please explain the significance of this, if any, for Muslim-Christian relations in the post-colonial context?
Because of their evasion of Spanish colonialism, Philippine Muslims comprise the largest category of unhispanicized inhabitants of the Philippines. Although they live in the only predominately Christian country in Southeast Asia, they share their religious culture with the neighboring majority Muslim nations of Indonesia and Malaysia. They also retain aspects of an indigenous pre-Islamic and precolonial Philippine culture--expressed in dress, music, political traditions and a variety of folk beliefs and practices-- that are similar to those found elsewhere in island Southeast Asia, but are today almost entirely absent among Christian Filipinos. Thus, while Philippine Christians and Muslims inhabit the same state and are linked together by various attachments, they are separated by a significant cultural gulf as the result of historical circumstances. I argue in my book that cultural differences do not by themselves create ethnic conflict. However, Christian Filipinos, including representatives of the Philippine state, have often tended to view Philippine Muslims as socially backward and untrustworthy precisely because of their history of resistance to hispanicization. For their part, Philippine Muslims have tended to be highly suspicious of the intentions of the Philippine government and generally wary of Christian Filipinos. These prejudices and suspicions notwithstanding, Muslims and Christians have been able to coexist peacefully in the Southern Philippines for most of the time they have lived together.
You suggest in your book, Muslim Rulers and Rebels, that the Muslim nationalist movement emerged out of the period of American colonialism (1899-1946), and not Spanish colonialism, and in fact, that the American colonial authorities actively encouraged its development. Could you please elaborate on this?
I state in my book that American colonial authorities encouraged the development of a transcendent ethnoreligious identity among Philippine Muslims. That unified identity then formed the basis of the nationalist "Bangsamoro" identity of the Muslim separatist movement begun in the late 1960s. Philippine Muslim armed resistance to Spanish aggression was very real and obviously effective, but it was not a unified Islamic resistance in the sense sometimes imagined. As elsewhere in Southeast Asia, sultanates just as often fought with one another, sometimes forging temporary alliances with the Spaniards to do so. Nevertheless, the ability of southern sultanates individually to withstand Spanish hegemony for more than 300 years is a testament to their military and diplomatic prowess. As stated in my book, certain perceptive American colonial agents realized that the "Moros" were not unified and thought it would be a good thing to unite them under leaders the Americans regarded as "enlightened" (i.e., Westernized). American colonial intentions were complex, but a primary intention seems to have been to prepare Philippine Muslims for the eventual end of American colonialism and their inclusion in an independent Philippine republic as a consolidated and relatively progressive ethnic minority. It was a naive intention, and events, of course, didn't work out that way. But colonial practices did have the effect of encouraging the development of a unified Philippine Muslim (or Bangsamoro) identity. Not incidentally, American colonialism also provided a lingua franca--English-- for contemporary Muslim separatists. Philippine Muslims are linguistically diverse and, as is the case with Christian Filipinos, English has provided a neutral political language.

Burning Off High Calorie Foods: Summer Picnicsby Dana Angelo White in Fitness & Wellness, May 26, 2012
Gearing up for grilling season? Don't let too many high-cal favorites keep you from staying trim this summer. Here's what you should keep in mind at your next picnic.
Crunching the numbers
Everyone burns calories a little differently, the values below are averages based on a 155-pound person.
1 foot long hot dog = 500 calories = 1 hour of swimming freestyle
1 cheeseburger = 400 calories = 75 minutes of kayaking
5-ounces BBQ ribs = 465 calories = 2 hours 15 minutes of body surfing
1 cup macaroni salad = 400 calories = 2 hours of fishing
1 cup potato salad = 420 calories = 1 hour of mowing the lawn
1 ear of corn with butter = 200 calories = 1 hour 20 minutes pushing a baby stroller
1 slice blueberry pie = 475 calories = 50 minutes of beach volleyball
1 ice cream bar = 250 calories = 1 hour 15 minutes playing catch
1 serving strawberry shortcake = 325 calories = 45 minutes of doubles tennis
Damage Control
No need to call off that family picnic. There are some things you can do.
- Watch the servings of alcohol and other high calorie beverages – those calories count too.
- Pick and choose – check out all the offerings and decide what you really want before you dig in.
- Spread the love – really want to try both of those desserts? Share! That's what friends are for.
Tell Us: How do you balance fitness with your favorite summer picnic foods?

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 1/11/2012 (1754 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Winnipeg Blue Bombers general manager Joe Mack, who received a public endorsement from the team's CEO Garth Buchko at Thursday's press conference, lauded the team's character and performance in the last six games.
Speaking at a press conference at the Blue and Gold room to announce Tim Burke as the team's full-time head coach and no longer having the interim label, Mack acknowledged the organization was disappointed in its 5-12 record at this time but focused on recent play as positive signs for the future.
"We're 3-and-3, which although we'd like to be better, we were (better) in every game. We had major victories at Montreal and at Toronto, which were division leaders. We were capable in the other two games of winning also," Mack said. "This despite the fact that we had numerous injuries to our starting quarterback, to all the running backs, our starting defensive ends. The team continued to compete.
"All these factors and the way Tim (head coach Burke) and the rest of his staff were able to maintain the sense of integrity, professionalism and integrity, convinced me, along with the fact that Coach Burke has, I believe a strong feeling of enthusiasm and respect within the locker room."
Mack, who has a 19-34 record so far in his time as the team's GM, said the team will have its quarterback situation resolved by April 1, 2013 or at least before the first mini-camps next spring and that Buck Pierce will be evaluated by coaches and doctors before the team decides whether it will go forward with him next season.
He addressed the quarterback issue, which has seen starter Pierce miss most of the season with a myriad of injuries and no consistent play from either backup, Joey Elliott or Alex Brink.
"We have to get more consistency in our quarterback play," Mack said.
"We have a great leader in Buck Pierce. I want to be clear, you cannot say enough good things about Buck's leadership, toughness and his ability to be a good teammate. Unfortunately, as we're all aware, Buck has had some back luck in regards to injury."
He said the team's biggest issue in the off-season will be to "formulate a plan to see how we can get that consistency and clarity in the quarterback situation," Mack said.
Mack said Burke can choose his own assistant coaches.
"We made some great strides, in the last six games, we actually have the most potent offence in the league right now," Mack said.
He referred to some notes from Bombers media staff to illustrate the improvement. "We've improved by almost 100 yards a game from where we started at the beginning of the year. We're almost 400 yards a game (of offence), 391 yards over the last six games. We scored 17 touchdowns in that span, which is 2.83 per game, which is more than double what we were doing before. I think that shows we're on the (right) path. We had a lot of injuries so that the coaches and players were able to work their way through, shows that we're on the path to turning it around. We hope to just build on that. "
