For the activists behind the recall of state Senate President Russell Pearce, there's no such thing as too much publicity.
Except when it comes to who they plan to run against Pearce.
The high-profile recall effort considers a candidate's identity a secret, leaving voters in the dark for now as to who might challenge a national icon in the immigration debate.
Any candidates are unlikely to reveal themselves until a recall election has been confirmed, said Randy Parraz of Citizens for a Better Arizona.
"There's no sense in giving Pearce any heads up on what's going to happen," Parraz said. "It takes a certain amount of courage in this climate to take on a sitting Senate president."
Potential challenger Andrew Sherwood ran against the Mesa Republican in 2010 and said he's thought about stepping forward in the recall in legislative District 18. But Sherwood said it's a given he — or others — won't announce until it's certain an election is on.
Sherwood, the Democratic precinct chairman of District 18, said he can only speculate about who will emerge.
"I sort of know a couple people who know a guy who knows a person. It's like six degrees from Waldo," Sherwood said. "I don't know what's going to happen."
Political observers generally agree on the type of candidate who would be a formidable candidate in the strongly conservative west Mesa district. It's generally thought Democrats will sit out the election because they do so poorly there. Also, opponents will likely rally behind a single opponent to avoid having multiple challengers split the vote.
Likely, the opponent would need to be conservative and a Republican with some track record of civic engagement.
Some believe it's important to be Mormon, like Pearce.
But Tom Rhodes, a former board member of the Mesa Unified School District and District 18 resident, discounts the religious component because he keeps being told there's no Mormon voting bloc.
The candidate has to be highly visible and solidly conservative, he said.
"There aren't many moderate Republicans, at least as far as I can tell," Rhodes said. "I think it's going to need to be a Republican, somebody who is at least fiscally conservative. I don't know that being socially conservative is all that important."
An election has been all but certain for two weeks, when the Maricopa County Elections Director Karen Osborne verified more than enough signatures on recall petitions were valid. It takes 7,756 votes to trigger an election, and 10,361 were valid as of Tuesday. The office has until Aug. 1 to complete verification. The election will fall in November or March, depending on how quickly the counting is done.
Pearce has won eight consecutive elections for two-year terms in his district, a point his supporters tout. The recall is more a function of using paid signature gatherers than a sign of voter dissatisfaction, said Matt Tolman, chairman of Citizens Who Oppose the Pearce Recall.
"I don't see a viable candidate out there who can win against Russell," Tolman said. "All it's going to do is enhance his position."
Tolman views the recall as an abuse of Arizona's constitutional provisions for removing elected officials. He argues that recalls are meant for unethical or illegal activities, adding Pearce hasn't been charged with anything. Opponents are pinning Arizona's budget woes and deep spending cuts on one person, he said.
"People don't want to realize we're in this mess because of the economy, not because of anything Russell did," Tolman said.
Recalls are more common in cities and school boards because it's much easier to collect signatures that trigger a recall. The only other state-level politician in Arizona to face recall was Gov. Evan Mecham in 1988, but his impeachment and conviction caused the recall to be cancelled.
About 60 percent of recalls have failed in Arizona, said David Berman, a professor emeritus at Arizona State University who has studied local politics. Opponents in a recall needn't be starkly different to succeed, he said.
"If you're going to be successful in a recall campaign, you have to appeal to some of the people of the person you're opposing," he said.
Recalls have become more common nationwide in recent years, but it's usually conservative activists who trigger recalls against politicians for things like unpopular tax hikes. This recall runs counter to that, as Pearce is celebrated by the tea party movement for cutting government spending.
The recall could be a pushback against the sharp conservative turn Arizona took two years ago, Berman said.
Pearce will emerge stronger if he wins in a landslide, Berman said. But a small Pearce victory would signal growing dissatisfaction with the conservative icon and what he stands for, Berman said.
"Maybe the tea party people are being challenged, finally. Maybe they're going too far. I think this has broader significance than just Russell Pearce," Berman said. "If he wins just narrowly, it's a bad sign (for him) because if you're having a referendum against the tea party movement, the last place the liberals will win is in his district."

A nearly 50-pound tumor was removed from a Tucson woman in a high-risk procedure performed by surgeons at The University of Arizona Medical Center.
The procedure to remove the tumor from Marcey DiCaro's abdomen, in mid-April, lasted 10 hours, according to a news release from UAMC.
Dr. Tun Jie, interim chief of the Division of Abdominal Transplant Surgery in the UA Department of Surgery and his team, including Dr. Angela Echeverria, general surgery chief resident, performed the procedure.
The tumor invaded DiCaro's vena cava and kidney.
"After we dissected the tumor off the inferior vena cava, it looked like Swiss cheese," Echeverria said in the news release. "There were so many holes in it due to tumor invasion. We took that segment out and reconstructed a new inferior vena cava."
One of DiCaro's kidneys and her gall bladder also had to be removed.
DiCaro stayed in the hospital for two weeks before she could return home.
"She has had the most impressive recovery of any patient I have had," Dr. Echeverria said.
About three years ago DiCaro began noticing her abdomen getting bigger but thought she was gaining weight and then began feeling pain in the area, the release said.
A scan in March 2012 showed she had a large tumor, but DiCaro, who was uninsured found it difficult to find an insurance plan that would cover surgery to remove it, because it was considered a pre-existing condition.
She found a plan and scheduled the surgery in 2013, but it was cancelled the night before due to more insurance issues.
By the time she became insured through the Affordable Care Act in 2014, the tumor had grown.
If it was not removed, the tumor would have been fatal.
"I am grateful for insurance and I was immensely happy with my care. I felt great confidence in Dr. Jie's abilities," DiCaro said in the release. "The whole team approach was wonderful. I'm happy to be going on walks and getting back in the pool and getting out and enjoying life."

Boeing to close surplus store in Kent on Dec. 21
Company will use Internet to sell goods
Published 10:00 pm, Monday, October 1, 2007
After 35 years of selling office furniture, hand tools, gloves and safety glasses, The Boeing Co. is pulling the plug on its version of a corporate garage sale.
Boeing's surplus store in Kent will close Dec. 21 because, the company said, it could more efficiently get rid of extra goods, and it has fewer items to sell.
"We have less stuff at the end of the pipeline to get rid of. That is the major driver," said Dean Tougas, a Boeing spokesman.
"And there are new, more efficient ways to manage the sales of surplus materials than there were years ago when we opened the surplus store."
Latest business videos
Tougas said the Chicago-based aerospace company would use the Internet and find buyers "who may be interested in large lots of surplus supplies," he added.
Essentially, Tougas said, Boeing will now become a wholesaler of its extra goods and let third parties sell the goods to the public.
"We have never wanted to be in the retail business," Tougas said. "This allows us to continue to find a home and not have the goods end up in a landfill."
Tougas also said sales have declined from roughly $5 million in 2000, when the company sold a large number of computers, to between $1 million and $2 million annually the past few years.
The closure has drawn the ire of Bruce Lane, a former Boeing employee, who started a Web site, www.saveboeingsurplus.com, to stop the closure.
On the site, Lane asks fans of the surplus store to politely call or write a Boeing executive and ask the company to reconsider. Lane could not be reached Monday.
Tougas said it was "flattering" that customers value the surplus store, but he said the closure was a business decision.
"In the larger scheme of things, we had to make a decision about how we are going to move forward. It's our hope they will find other resources for their hobbies," Tougas said.
Tougas said all 14 employees at the surplus store, which opened in 1972, would be reassigned to Boeing plants in Everett, Auburn or Renton and continue working on managing surplus material.
He also said managers of the surplus store, at 20651 84th Ave. S., plan to have its annual end-of-year sale during the last week of business.
"We may have an especially big blowout, who knows?" Tougas said.

PHNOM PENH: The Khmer Rouge executioner and torturer Kaing Guek Eav, alias Duch, raised his hands to his face in a Buddhist sign of goodwill yesterday as judges rejected his appeal and increased last year's 19-year sentence to life imprisonment, the maximum sentence available under Cambodian law.
Duch, a born-again Christian, showed no emotion as judges at a United Nations-backed trial detailed crimes they said were ''undoubtedly among the worst recorded in human history''.
Eleven appeal judges at the tribunal set up to prosecute Khmer Rouge leaders found that Duch, 69, ''deserved the highest penalty available, to provide a fair and adequate response to the outrage these crimes invoked in victims''.
In overturning the 2011 sentence, the tribunal referred to evidence that Duch commanded a ''factory of death'' in Phnom Penh during the Khmer Rouge's rule between 1975 and 1979.
They said that Duch, a former maths teacher and prison chief, was ''responsible for the merciless termination of at least 12,272 people, including women and children'', among them more than 100 detainees who were drained of their blood.
However, investigators say as many 15,000 people were tortured and sent to their deaths at the Tuol Sleng interrogation centre, which Duch commanded for three years.
The tribunal heard evidence that Duch taught the guards to inflict systematic torture on their victims, including rape, water boarding and pulling out nails.
Under his command, guards threw babies from second floors and bashed the heads of others against trees. Some victims were set alight while still alive after months of torture.
Wearing a cream jacket and a white shirt, Duch walked solemnly into the tribunal carrying what appeared to be a Bible.
Since being discovered working for a Christian organisation in Cambodia in 1999, Duch has admitted his role in the killings but shown little remorse.
He surprised lawyers and judges when he appealed the 19-year sentence last year. Duch had claimed the tribunal did not have the authority to convict him as he was not ''most responsible'' for the Khmer Rouge's rule and was merely following orders.
The judges ruled that the earlier tribunal hearing had erred in imposing a manifestly inadequate sentence.

From country to country many trends differ, but one trend that is universal is animal print, particularly cheetah print. I have been in Rome Italy for four weeks now, and I have seen cheetah print worn in many different ways. I have most commonly seen it on boots, sweaters, scarves, hats and purses. Here it is seen on this beautiful jacket.
This Fashionista was standing by one of the most important domes in the entire world. The Pantheon is a building that was built during the reign of Augustus as a temple to all the Gods of Ancient Rome. While I was supposed to be taking photos of the Pantheon and its wondrous architecture from all angles possible, I got completely taken away when my Fashionista passed in a long cheetah jacket. So, I ran away from my on-sight class tour and chased after her.
This Fashionista wore only three colors but intertwined each color to make the most perfect statement. Her black studded boots, plain black leggings, big black clutch and knitted black infinity scarf all complimented the beige and brown colors in the cheetah print jacket perfectly. She was able to use neutral colors and black to successfully grab the eye.Her style could be interpreted as funky but still casual. She said she bought all her articles of clothing and accessories from Rome but similar pieces can all be found in America as well. It is important that when wearing cheetah print or any animal print to match it with colors and pieces that won't take away from the print. Black and neutral colors always work well when you have one specific busy piece.
This Fashionista made a huge impression on me and the others around her, and I think her funky but casual style had a lot to do with it!

Penguins sign Malkin to eight-year, $76M contract
Evgeni Malkin could not wait to leave Pittsburgh on Thursday.
He is coming back, though.
He also is sticking around for a long, long time.
"I'm so happy," Malkin said after agreeing to an eight-year contract worth $76 million that will keep him with the Penguins for the next nine years.
The new deal, which includes a full no-movement clause, will kick in after next season.
Malkin, 26, told the Tribune-Review this contract will allow him to "finish (as) a Penguin."
That thought first crossed his mind last summer, when captain Sidney Crosby agreed to a 12-year contract worth $104.4 million.
Malkin, then fresh off a standout season in which he won a second NHL scoring title and first MVP, heard of that deal when he was in Moscow, where he spends the offseason.
At that point, Malkin said he was leaning toward making a similar long-term commitment to the Penguins.
He was sure of it after spending the NHL lockout playing for his hometown Metallurg Magnitogorsk of Russia's Kontinental Hockey League.
That experience was mostly positive, Malkin said.
However, he was not fond of the long flights, lengthy practices and all the attention that came with being a superstar Russian in that country's most prominent professional sports league.
Malkin preferred playing in Pittsburgh with Crosby, not being the Crosby of Metallurg and Russia.
"I want to play (with) Sid, not be Sid," Malkin said recently.
"It is good for me with Pittsburgh. I want to stay if they want me."
The Penguins want Malkin, whom management considers one of two true franchise players along with Crosby.
By getting Malkin's contract completed, general manager Ray Shero set the table for his Penguins in the short and long term.
Cap certainty
The NHL salary cap is set for $64.3 million next season.
The year after is anybody's guess, but NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said Wednesday that projected revenues for next season will equal the record $3.3 billion from the 2011-12 season — the last full campaign before the four-month lockout.
The cap is tied to revenue, though not in the exact manner as was the case during the last labor contract (2005-12). The salary cap increased every season during the last labor contract, and that is the early prognostication for this period of owners-players peace.
Malkin will count $9.5 million against the cap on his new deal. Crosby counts only $8.7 million because he signed for a longer term on a front-loaded contract — options not available to Malkin because of the new labor contract.
Crosby and Malkin will count $18.2 million against the Penguins' cap starting in 2014-15.
They would take up 28.3 percent of the Penguins' space if the cap does not increase through the duration of the labor contract. That is 2.3 percent less than the cap space they took up at the low point — 2009-10, when the cap was set at $56.8 million — on their current deals.
By getting Crosby and Malkin to take less than market value on their third contracts — Crosby could have maxed out at $14.08 million annually, Malkin at $12.88 million — the Penguins will have enough space to build around their cornerstone centers.
Actually, they probably will have more cap space to do so than at any previous point.
Next up
Agreeing to terms with Malkin was the first part of an "action plan," Shero said Thursday.
He would not specify the next move, but it involves winger Pascal Dupuis.
Shero is expected to open negotiations with Dupuis' agent, Allan Walsh, next week. Shero at least would like to know if Dupuis is set on testing the free-agent market when it opens July 5.
Dupuis is one of seven Penguins, including five forwards, set to become an unrestricted free agent. He is the top priority to retain for several reasons — notably, his status as Crosby's preferred right winger and also his standing as a dressing-room leader.
The open market entices Dupuis, who made $1.5 million each of the past two seasons in which he scored a total of 45 goals, only two coming on the power play.
Tugging at him, though — and this is something Shero will point out in negotiations — are ties to the region. Dupuis and his family have grown fond of Pittsburgh and the Penguins organization, and comfort is a factor for a 34-year-old self-described "family man."
Dupuis, a Montreal native, seeks a four-year deal because this contract could prove to be his last.
The Penguins would prefer a three-year term, but adding a year might score them cap relief.
The labor contract allows impending free agents to speak with other clubs before July 5. The Penguins would like to prevent Dupuis from choosing that option, but mostly they want to know by July 4 where they stand in his plans.
He might explore that open period but choose to sign with the Penguins before free agency opens, especially if a three-year offer from Shero is in the $10.5 million range.
In the mix
While Dupuis is the Penguins' next man up in the short term, defenseman Kris Letang fills that role for the long term.
Like Malkin, he can agree to an extension this summer. Unlike Malkin, Letang has not indicated he will take less than market value.
There is no market for Letang because the 27-year-old would be the first in-his-prime elite defenseman to hit the open market in the new labor agreement.
A first-time finalist for the Norris Trophy (top defenseman), Letang has the clout to ask for at least double his current salary ($3.5 million), in addition to a max-length deal (eight years) with a no-movement clause.
His tenure with the Penguins likely is nearing an end and not just because management and coaches believe Paul Martin was actually the club's top defenseman this season.
That is the first strike against Letang potentially re-signing with the Penguins.
The second is he plays the position at which the organization is deepest — including Simon Despres, who is top-four ready, according to coach Dan Bylsma — at the prospect level.
The third is Letang wants a full no-movement clause, and Shero will not give that to any player other than Crosby and Malkin. To do so would be to court roster-building limitations.
Center Jordan Staal, in near-identical contractual situation last June, was traded after he rejected a take-or-leave offer. The return for Staal from Carolina was a first-round pick, a roster player and a top prospect.
Shero would want at least that much — and probably a second roster player — for Letang.
"We have some big decisions coming up here the next few weeks," Shero said. "We'd like to try and sign (Letang). He's a very good defenseman."

A PETITION with 250 signatures has been handed to Pendle Council to try to speed up plans for a new £3.5million school in Nelson.
Parents and governors at Whitefield Infant School, Norfolk Street gave the petition to members of the council's Nelson Committee on Monday evening.
They are calling for plans to be passed for a new school to replace the cramped Victorian building that they are currently using that no longer has the capacity to cope with expanding rolls.
Blueprints for the replacement school were halted after London-based conservationist group SAVE Britain's Heritage lodged a protest about the demolition of boarded-up terrace houses in Macleod Street, Appleby Street and Portland Street.
The school had previously overcome similar opposition from English Heritage and the Heritage Trust for the North West.
But on March 8 the SAVE application for a judicial review was withdrawn.
If planning permission is now finally granted next month then the new infants school could be open by October 2013.
Parent and governor Mrs Shaf Batool said: "We handed the petition in to say to the council that now SAVE no longer have an objection, we want Pendle Council and Lancashire County Council to hurry the process up.
"If the school is to be built by October 2013 like they hope then we would like to see planning permission granted and the site cleared as soon as possible."

Anderson Cooper Gives Star Jones Epic Takedown
Anderson Cooper indulged in an epic rant against Star Jones, of all people, on his daytime show today while co-hosting with Andy Cohen of Bravo. Asked by Cohen to reflect on his coming out in July, Cooper gave a normal response first before launching into his takedown of Jones in a clip obtained by TMZ. It seems Jones accused Cooper of coming out in an attempt to boost ratings, and that did not sit well with Cooper—or his mom. First of all, "If I was wanting to boost ratings, I would have waited to announce it on 'A Very Special Episode' that would have been promo'd for weeks and weeks and there would have been commercials," Cooper pointed out. "'Anderson's Huge Announcement.'" Read more…

Ronnie Cameron strives to make an Impact
BEREA — The second part of Ronnie Cameron's work day starts as he leaves the Cleveland Browns facility. After practice, after meetings, after lifting, after more meetings . . . the Browns backup defensive tackle goes home to his other jobs.
It seems incongruous that today's highly paid athlete would have a job after football, but Cameron is not the prototype. His Twitter account (@RonSCameron) is filled with political analysis — he's one of few NFL players tweeting about Benghazi — and he writes a political blog for The Huffington Post, with recent posts about the ambition of immigrants and "why politicians can't tell the truth."
He loves football, but he said he hopes the work he does when the football day ends will, literally, change the world. He's developing and running a website called Bonfire Impact, and it could have major reach.
"I'm starting a news blog network for social awareness, nonprofits, human rights," Cameron said during a recent interview. "It's pretty much like a Huffington Post for a lot of the stories that don't always get noticed."
Cameron said he's always been interested in social issues, a byproduct of being raised by a mother from Haiti and a father from Trinidad. Neither had a high-school degree, and both worked multiple jobs to raise their three children.
"It makes me sad that attention is paid to issues when it's convenient," he said. "It becomes a trend story, but when the trend passes, people are still suffering."
His example: The earthquake in Haiti, his mother's home. There was a lot of immediate attention paid to the people in the short term after the earthquake, but in the long run it got lost.
"I'd like attention paid to things like that on a daily basis," he said.
His goal is to bring organizations, causes and issues together so the people who care or are interested can find information in one place.
"It's almost a free media conduit for these not-for-profits," he said. "Especially with the economy not being so great right now. They don't have as much money to spend on advertising, because people aren't giving as much to charity. So it's almost like a way to meet an end, and also to reach out to a younger population.
"My website is really pointed toward the younger population that really doesn't know a lot about human rights or have the social awareness for what is going on because there's really no place for that right now."
He envisions the site as a hub that attracts readers with information, then links out to sites to enhance what he provides.
"Say you want to know about heart awareness or things like that," he said. "You have to go to 10 different websites. How about you just go to one place that has all the information and that can lead you to where you need to go?"
The site should roll out in mid-December, but a prototype online (www.bonfireimpact.com), includes articles about restoring the waterfront along the Buffalo River, a Lafayette, La., couple who took in seven children who needed a home, and a story on domestic violence, headlined "a direct attack to women's dignity, violation of human rights."
Bonfire Impact's logo calls the site a "Newsblog network for celebrating good works, exposing injustices and a beacon for social awareness." The name comes from the meaning of the word bonfire, which Cameron said is a beacon, an eradicator of waste or is part of a celebration.
"Which the website stands for," Cameron said. "Impact is the effect I want to have on the world."
Cameron was a standout defensive tackle and student at Old Dominion in Norfolk, Va. Besides earning All-America honors (including second team on AP), he also earned his undergraduate degree and an MBA in Information Technology in four-and-a-half years. He signed with the Bears as an undrafted free agent in April, then joined the Browns when the Bears waived him late in camp.
He's used his MBA to organize the site electronically, with meetings held via Skype or video conference. His office? Wherever he happens to be.
"Everybody that we have working for us are volunteers," said Editor-in-Chief Ashley Dale, "and they are super-excited and are really passionate about the issues we cover. Hopefully this reaches the younger generation and sparks an interest in them actually getting up and doing something."
Cameron is mining journalism schools for writers, and hopes to pay them when the site becomes successful. It's the model many sites have followed.
One other focus of the site will be on professional athletes.
"Guys that are doing good things," Cameron said. "Because those stories don't get highlighted. … We're going to have a section that concentrates completely on what athletes are doing right in this world, whether it's missions in other countries, their philanthropic endeavors, their charities, their foundations."
He mentioned he's already talked with Scott Fujita about helping Team Gleason, the foundation in honor of Steve Gleason, the former Saints player who has ALS.
"Ronnie is a perfect example of someone who wants to make an impact, a positive one, and the fact that he's developing a platform to showcase some of the good that others are doing is really admirable," Fujita said via e-mail.
Cameron summed up his approach in his blog:
"This what I've learned from my parents — never be complacent, always want more. Not in greed but in progression.
"They've always taught me to strive to be a leader and strive to be the best. If you aren't progressing you are failing yourself."

The Cincinnati business community is publicly supporting using tolls to pay for a Brent Spence Bridge replacement, adding the clout of the region's largest business organization.
The Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber and a coalition of top companies separately announced their support Tuesday for a new tolling bill introduced in the Ohio General Assembly.
The state already has the ability to toll roads and bridges, but the new legislation would specifically allow for a cashless, all-electronic tolling system to be used on a new Brent Spence Bridge. The bill also would put holds on vehicle registrations of motorists who neglect to pay their toll bills.
Northern Kentucky lawmakers strongly oppose tolls to pay for a bridge replacement, saying their constituents would be unfairly burdened with most of the cost, which they say the federal government should bear. The opposition helped kill legislation in this year's Kentucky General Assembly that would have allowed tolls, putting the $2.6 billion replacement and corridor overhaul project in limbo.
Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear vetoed a bill that would have banned tolls on the bridge altogether. Ohio Gov. John Kasich has urged his administration and lawmakers to move forward with necessary legislation to be ready if Kentucky changes course on the project.
"Ohio already has tolling authority, so we didn't feel like we needed to wade into that discussion," said Matt Davis, the chamber's vice president of government affairs, said Tuesday. "I don't think we've ever had an issue with it, but we've never had anything to vet, per se."
The new Ohio bill has bipartisan support; it is sponsored by two Republicans and two Democrats. They hope to pass the legislation by month's end.
The business community remains optimistic that the construction schedule will be moved up and tht the project will be fast-tracked.
"We applaud and support this legislation, which will keep this vitally important project moving forward," said Tom Williams, co-chairman of the Build Our New Bridge Now Coalition. "Innovative approaches are needed to make the (bridge) replacement ... a reality."
Southwest Ohio and Northern Kentucky business leaders have taken the lead in pushing for a new bridge. The 50-year-old, double-decked Brent Spence carries Interstates 71 and 75 over the Ohio River. It is categorized as functionally obsolete because of its narrow lanes, lack of emergency shoulders and limited visibility. The bridge, however, is structurally sound, officials say.
The bridge already carries double its intended traffic, and the business community fears growing congestion will stall the region's ability to create and retain jobs. Business leaders on both sides of the Ohio River formed the coalition two years ago to lobby for the bridge.
Build Our New Bridge Now, backed by the Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky chambers and Duke Energy, raised more than $2 million for lobbying and a marketing campaign.
In February, the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce and eight executives from top Northern Kentucky employers such as Citi and Toyota publicly announced their support for tolls.
"More than three-fourths of all jobs in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky are within five miles of I-75, so the importance of replacing the bridge can't be overstated," Davis said. ⬛

My latest Paul's Robot module, SpotAnAngel, is up at http://www.paulsrobot.com/SpotAnAngel
It is about 400 files, almost all of them new, and in addition to being available online is also available for download there in a zip file of 40MB. It was supposed to be a slight detour from what I was working on a few weeks back, but ended up being much larger than I had first anticipated. There are many pretty pictures, but none of them are new so I am not showing any with this announcement.
I find the procedure a lot of fun. It helps to have done some of the RAW4 module first, otherwise it is a bit too unreal. This way it is only moderately unreal. It is designed to improve one's ability to perceive what is in various realms not considered part of the everyday physical world, some of which contain spiritual beings who intermingle with us in our everyday life. Er, reportedly. And finally to exchange greetings with such beings once you have worked up the nerve.
As I say, I like it and find it valuable. Your mileage may vary, of course.

Srinagar, June 28 (ANI): The fourth edition of the Mughal Road Car Rally was flagged off on Friday here with an aim to encourage adventure tourism in the Kashmir Valley.
The Mughal Road connects Bafliaz, a town in Poonch district, to Shopian in Pulwama district in the Kashmir Valley. The road passes over the Pir Panjal mountain range, which is at an altitude of 3505 meters.
Jammu and Kashmir Home Minister Sajad Ahmad Kichloo flagged off the rally in Srinagar with more than 90 participants.
Kichloo hoped that it would provide boost to tourism industry in the remote regions.
"This will naturally provide a boost to tourism of the state and especially it will provide an impetus to tourism in remote areas," said Kichloo.
The Mughal Road construction project was conceived in the year 1969 and further execution of the project took place in 1977. But after the completion of a 30-kilometer stretch, construction work was stopped.
The three-day long event has been organised by the Jammu and Kashmir Tourism Department in association with the Himalayan Motorsport Association.
One of the participants, Aman, said that it was challenging for most of the drivers because of landslides.
"The stage is fantastic specially for the sport. The hilly terrain of Mughal Road and the Sinthan pass has been most scenic places what we have visited with high-speed action. Specially the Mughal rally has been on tarmac. It's a different challenge for most of the drivers because they drive on dirt and this is more challenging because lot of landslides on the stages with broken stones. The tarmac has become slightly rough in certain places," said Aman. (ANI)

Rated 5 out of 5 by 29 reviewers. Rated 1 out of 5by 3_Australian_Shepherdsdog ownerThis product MIGHT work well, if I could get my dogs to eat it. I ordered the beef flavored product so I could get the larger bottle, since I have 3 dogs in the larer weight category and would quickly go through the smaller bottle using the suggested amounts/day. However, only one of my pups would eat the tabs, and only for the first 3-4 days, then she quickly tired of them. Even if I try to stuff them inside a tasty treat, my girls will spit the pills out. 07/22/2012Rated 5 out of 5by poodle_runnerSIMPLY THE BEST PRODUCT I HAVE EVER USED!!!As the owner of a Border Collie/Lab mix, I have been using this product for over 2 years now. It took almost a month of first using this prodcut to see the results (in a winter month in the Northeast where a dog's coat is at its fullest) and I have been using it continuosly all year. SIMPLY THE BEST PRODUCT I HAVE EVER USED IN OVER 25 YEARS OF DOG OWNERSHIP!!! 03/31/2011Rated 5 out of 5by poodle_runnerNo more allergies!!!I did notice a small difference with shedding, but the biggest advantage for us was no more bad allergies in the summer! Our dog was put on Benadryl because of all of his skin breakouts in the summertime. The Benadryl made him a total nut bag. He was timid and nervous all of the time. (He's a 100 lb. mixed lab). So we went the route of steroid shots which was better, but still had breakouts. After taking the recommended dosage (which for him is 6 tablets a day!), he hasn't had to have any allergy meds at all for over a year!!! This is the only change we made (same food, we live in the same area, etc) so I figured it has to be this supplement. His coat looks great and he gets compliments on it all of the time! 01/29/2011Rated 5 out of 5by Cory_a_Rottweiler_ownerAmazingWhat a difference in Eva's shedding! This product is definitely worth it! 08/24/2010Rated 5 out of 5by Lori_Rottweiler_momFewer Furballs!My Rottweiler/German Shepherd puppy began shedding quite a bit around the age of 6 months. After reading/researching about several products, I started her on Shed No More. It does an amazing job controlling her shedding and I only give her 1 tablet per day - she has a sensitive stomach and I try to minimize any chemicals going in there. I am very happy with this product and her coat is beautiful, shiny, and soft. 12/11/2009Rated 5 out of 5by Renae_One_pet_family_serious_pet_hair_haterMastiff: One Hairy MessSometime around 7 months old, our Neo Mastiff began shedding excessively. All year long. Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall. It was BAD!!! If you pet her, you pulled back a hand FULL of hair. Our back yard, after it snowed, was literally black and gray from being completely covered in her hair. Hair was everywhere in our home. Even the second floor and the basement, where she has never been.We tried everything. Special shampoos, brushes and sprays, regular professional grooming, daily baths, adding things to her diet, changing her diet, the BARF diet. We tried every bit of advice we got. Everything from our vet's professional advice to complete strangers with half-baked superstitions. We spent hundreds of dollars and a cumulative of weeks on our dog to stop the shedding. Not to mention the amount of cleaning just to keep the hair problem under control.Shed No More is a miracle! I ordered this product three weeks ago. Even after the first few days, we noticed a difference. And now she hardly sheds at all. I'd say it did far better than 80% with our dog. More like 99.5%. Her coat is even shiny now. We are VERY happy with this product. 09/16/2009Rated 5 out of 5by Anonymous Pet Parentvery affectivemy german shephard also shed un controlably we vaccumed brushed bathed and nothing helped.I just finished the first bottle and came on to order another one because my dog hardly sheds at all. 03/07/2009Rated 5 out of 5by Sarah_dog_loverWorked Great for both dogsWe had been using Drs. Foster & Smith VitaCoat Plus for over a year (and it DOES work great!) however, it's kind of expensive. This was much more friendly to the wallet and works great. :) We have no complaints. We just put this right in their food as an extra treat on the side and they just eat it up. :) We have a Chow/Husky/Lab male and a Belgian Shepherd mix female -- both have double coats and shed regularly. Now they shed just a little bit rather than the clumps of tumblehair all over the place! :) 09/08/2008 Page 1 of 4 1 2 3 4

By Mason W. Canales
Killeen Daily Herald
NOLANVILLE – The City Council approved a resolution to settle a population count and extra territorial jurisdiction dispute with its neighboring cities on Thursday.
After a 30-minute executive session, the City Council approved the resolution by a 4-0 vote; Councilman Albert Simmons did not attend the meeting.
While Harker Heights and Belton's councils must approve the resolution before the lawsuit is settled, Nolanville attached a memorandum of understanding that describes the terms for a settlement.
"First and most important is that Harker Heights and Belton will recognize Nolanville's extended ETJ," said Roger Gordon, an attorney representing Nolanville, on Thursday, claiming the city's population count of 5,000 residents will stand.
Nolanville also will recognize Harker Heights and Belton's ETJ agreements, which were agreed upon by their city officials before Nolanville approved its population count last December, Gordon said.
Other ETJ changes, according to the memorandum, would include an area south of Farm-to-Market 439 but north of U.S. Highway 190.
Nolanville's ETJ would extend into the area north of Paddy Hamilton but south of FM 439 just to the West of Farm-to-Market 93, the memorandum stated. Belton will not expand its ETJ west of a "dividing line" in the area and Nolanville will not expand east of the line.
Belton and Harker Heights will "shoulder" the cost of surveying the "dividing line," Gordon said, referencing the memorandum.
Additional costs by Harker Heights and Belton will include reimbursing Nolanville up to $20,000 in attorney fees the city acquired during the dispute, the memorandum stated.
The memorandum also states that the agreement shall be finalized no later than 60 days after each City Council agrees to the document unless additional time is needed to complete the surveying, which will grant the cities another 30 days.
To finalize the agreement, the cities must submit it as a final judgement to the 169th Judicial Court, which was supposed to hear the litigation in January, the memorandum stated.
The memorandum also includes a gag order, saying officials appointed and employed by the city "shall not make or give any public or news media statements or releases" until the final judgement has been agreed upon and approved by the court, unless all three cities agree on the statement.
"I believe this is a fair and just solution for each city's desire to grow," Gordon said. "And more importantly, it resets the relationship for these cities."

Primary concerns: The selection begins
The primary election isn't until May, but already the election cycle is kicking off.
Tuesday is the first day potential candidates can circulate and file nomination petitions. For the Fay-West area, this is an important election year.
We may not be voting for president or Congress, but we will be choosing who will lead our local municipalities, schools and county government.
So, what do we want in candidates seeking offices that are closest to the people?
We want leaders who express the desire — and ambition — to serve. We want candidates with visions of what our communities, schools, etc., can achieve. We want officeholders who have fresh ideas and leadership skills that can turn a vision into reality.
We are at a time when good people are needed — people who aren't afraid to take chances; people who aren't afraid of hard work.
As voters, we must make some important decisions on whom we will support.
If we, the voters and taxpayers, were running a business, would we hire people just because they're our friends or because they wanted a job or claimed they had a talent? Probably not.
Local leadership positions must be filled carefully and with thought. They are just as important as those we elect to run our country.

It has been hundreds of years now that women have worn earrings. Stud earrings, dangle earrings and hoop earrings in silver and gold can be seen in any number of jewelry boxes and armoires all over the world. We have seen peacock feathers, turquoise, crystals, and cubic zirconium, costume jewelry, silver, gold and platinum gold which looks much like silver, a lot of styles within the decades. One must admit that not all of these colors and styles holds up with time. As fashion always does, accessories run out of runway and drop out of style.
Most of us have witnessed styles come and go. They're in one day and the next. Eventually as I was browsing my jewelry armoire for just the best set of earrings. You realize the ones; the set that won't over power the fabulous necklace you've on yet will command attention and never hide from the world beneath your long hair. The "go to" accessory that you always appear to use over time of need, you could count on. Obviously they were there, they're always there awaiting me. My go to set is...my silver hoop earrings. And extremely why wouldn't they be there? Since i have was of sufficient age to put on earrings I have owned a minumum of one set of the silver hoop variety.
Silver hoop earrings have grown to be my visit piece of jewelry. They can dress up a set of jeans along with a t-shirt. The same pair could be worn having a black dress wear and fabulous necklace and produce the house down. I have actually had one pair in particular in my accessory kit for 10 years now. 10 years! The majority of us don't even have a car too long! This says a lot concerning the worth of this specific pair of earrings and how much I depend on them.
This is why silver hoop earrings are undoubtedly my personal favorite style of earring to put on. The hoop will be in fashion and thus will silver. While we have experienced gold appear and disappear with the changing winds, silver always appears to persevere through the storm. The hoop itself can be produced in many different shapes and sizes. You have the thin set that may range from promising small to extra-large. The thicker set which has a tendency to stay on small side ranging in size from extra promising small to medium. The jeweled set that we like to wear dressed up. This set normally has some type of diamond or crystal set in it round the hoop. They provide a just the right quantity of sparkle. Let's remember about the hoop with the dangle charm. This is a hoop earring usually inside a medium to large size. At the base of the hoop is really a charm of some sort. It can be a snowman throughout the holidays, a pumpkin at Halloween, a crystal or perhaps a colored gemstone with discretion on your outfit. Certainly one of my own favorites is the two-tone pair. This pair is both gold and silver. It's best employed for dressier occasions just like a nice dinner date or an evening with the girls.
You will find hoop styles everywhere you discover earrings and you will find a huge budget range. In the local discount store you will find sets for less than $ 10. You may also walk in to the high-end jeweler and discover styles for hundreds of dollars. Most of the time price is an expression of quality although not always the case with this particular type of earring. You can find mid-range prices and still get high-end quality. I actually do all the time. But if you choose to spend the money in a high-end jeweler be assured that you will be able to make use of this set of earrings for years to come so it will not be money wasted.
Whichever your hoop style preference you can be sure that when you discover the perfect pair you'll find value inside them for several years to come. Regardless if you are going to a baseball game, a girl's evening out, dinner with partner or perhaps a work day this style will see you through the years. The pairing choices are endless and you may count on always being in style. This can become your "go to" piece of jewelry. If only wardrobe choices were this straightforward!

Crown Central Sells 150 Gas Stations, Convenience Stores
Firm is to sell or close last 10 outlets by July 31.
BALTIMORE -- Crown Central Petroleum Corp. sold more than 150 gasoline stations and convenience stores in Maryland and Virginia, reported the Baltimore Sun.
The price of the sale to Petroleum Marketing Investment Group LLC was not disclosed.
Baltimore-based Crown expects to sell or close the fewer than 10 stations it still owns by the end of the month, officials said. Local consumers aren't likely to detect a change from the sale to Petroleum Marketing.
"Certainly, as far as the Maryland stations go, there is virtually no change in the operation," said Andrew Lapayowker, vice president, general counsel and secretary for Crown. "The same independent dealers that were operating them are still operating them."
The Virginia outlets are to be operated by E&C Enterprises Inc., an affiliate of Petroleum Marketing. E&C runs gasoline and convenience outlets in metropolitan Washington.
Crown began selling off its gas stations and convenience stores in various parcels, in March 2003, Lapayowker said. It also sold its terminals and currently is negotiating the sale of its two refineries. Lapayowker would provide no estimate for when that transaction might be completed.
Crown, which went private in 2001, owes $125 million in debt, which comes due Feb. 1, 2005. It is unclear whether the bondholders will get back all of their money. "If we have the cash to do it, we will pay it back at 100 cents on the dollar," Lapayowker said.

Just when we thought Martin Bashir couldn't reach a new low, he proved us wrong on Thursday on his self-titled MSNBC program. Bashir is known for making hyperbolic and incendiary comments towards Republicans, but his latest comments are a new low for him.
Speaking to a panel of fellow liberals, Mr. Bashir started his program off by calling Governor Mitt Romney racist and having "contempt for his fellow Americans" in response to post-election comments made by Mr. Romney and Congressman Paul Ryan. [See video below page break. MP3 audio here.]
Bashir then followed this up by asking the ultra-liberal Ari Melber of The Nation the following disgusting question:
Don't these kind of views ethically disqualify someone for the highest office in the land? I mean, Idi Amin had a warmer attitude towards his electorate and he actually is alleged to have eaten some of them.
Bashir might protest that he was just joking, but it's a rather sick joke. Idi Amin, for those who don't know, was the brutal dictator of Uganda who during his reign of terror was responsible for the murder of 100,000-500,000 of his own people during the 1970s.
Apparently to Mr. Bashir, Governor Romney saying that, "What the president's campaign did was focus on certain members of his base coalition, give them extraordinary financial gifts from the government, and then work very aggressively to turn them out to vote" is worthy of comparing the Massachusetts Republican to a brutal dictator.
Then again, this wouldn't be the first time Bashir compared a Republican presidential aspirant to a despot.
During the 2012 Republican primaries, Bashir disgustingly compared Rick Santorum to mass-murderer Joseph Stalin and never once apologized for his remarks.
That Bashir is keen on making such incendiary rhetoric even after the campaign is over and his guy won just shows how loathsome and unsporting the former rugby player is.
See relevant transcript below.
Martin Bashir
November 15, 2012
4:00 p.m. EDT
MARTIN BASHIR: Good afternoon and welcome to ten days since the president's resounding and emphatic re-election. And in most cases an electoral loss would provide a wake-up call for the defeated party. But in the case of Mitt Romney, it appears to have opened the door to another dimension, a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. A sort of twilight zone. In the realm of reality, there is the president who has just left New York's Staten Island touring areas damaged by the storm and pledging much needed federal support. And then there is the shadow realm where Republicans are still stumbling over their loss by doubling down on the very backward, twisted, inverted views that proved to be their undoing. Case in point, Mitt Romney. Who told his top donors on a conference call that the president only won by doling out freebies to key constituencies.
MITT ROMNEY: What the president's campaign did was focus on certain members of his base coalition, give them extraordinary financial gifts from the government, and then work very aggressively to turn them out to vote.
BASHIR: That base coalition, of course, including young voters, African-Americans, and Hispanics.
ROMNEY: What the president did is he gave them two things. One, he gave them a big gift on immigration with the dream act, an amnesty program. Number two, put in place Obama Care which basically is $10,000 a family. I mean, it's a proven political strategy, which is give a bunch of money from the government to a group and, guess what? They will vote for you.
BASHIR: NBC's Peter Alexander reached out to the campaign and was told they confirmed the authenticity of the recording November 14th. Quote, Governor Romney was simply elaborating on what Obama senior strategist David Axelrod had said about the Obama campaign's effort to target key demographics, most specifically women. That was the other demographic targeted by the president bought with free birth control obviously. As for Paul Ryan, he just can't believe that urban Americans managed to leave their sad, cramped apartments and tenets and made the long trek to the voting booth.
PAUL RYAN: I think the surprise was some of the turnout. Some of the turnout especially in urban areas which definitely gave President Obama the big margin to win this race.
BASHIR: Apparently Mr. Ryan forgot his opponents were giving out free birth control. Should have seen that coming. Now, some in the GOP are trying to escape this whirling vortex of deep denial and blame, especially those looking to run in 2016. Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal was out at a mike within hours.
BOBBY JINDAL: I absolutely reject that notion, that description. I think that's absolutely wrong. I don't think that represents where we are as a party and where we're going as a party.
BASHIR: Well, into which dimension the party is headed still remains very much up for question. Let's get right to our panel. Here in New York Joy Reid is the managing editor of TheGrio.com. MSNBC contributor Ari Melber is also a columnist for The Nation. And in Washington, MSNBC contributor Jared Bernstein, a senior fellow at the Center for Economic and Budget Priorities and a former economist for Vice President Joe Biden. Sorry for that somewhat lengthy introduction. Ari, if I can start with you, let's set aside for the moment the racism and the contempt for his fellow Americans. Don't these kind of views ethically disqualify someone for the highest office in the land? I mean, Idi Amin had a warmer attitude towards his electorate and he actually is alleged to have eaten some of them.
ARI MELBER: I didn't expect the cannibalism right out of the gate. I agree with the premise of your question though which is, what kind of view of not only government but of society is this? You know Joy [Reid] were talking about this recently and I was saying you go out and ask the people who have FEMA helping them respond to this hurricane, you ask them if they're getting gifts? You know, you ask people who look to our cops and our firefighters and our soldiers and our teachers –
BASHIR: Many of whose life savings have been invested in properties and have lost everything through no fault of their own.

The reviews for the first two weeks of Mikel Leshoure's performance are mixed. He sat out the first two weeks of the season serving a suspension and his return was highly anticipated for the Detroit Lions. However, the first game against the Tennessee Titans was decent despite the loss, but the second one versus the Minnesota Vikings was less than average in results. Why didn't he meet expectations in terms of carries, catches or big plays?
Here's a breakdown of his numbers.
Versus Tennessee:
26 carries for 100 yards. Longest carry was 12 yards, making for a decent average of 3.8 yards per carry. He had four catches for 34 yards and one touchdown on the day.
Versus Minnesota:
13 carries for a total of 26 yards. One of those carries was for 14 yards, so do the math and it leaves 12 carries for 12 yards. Not impressive. He had four catches for 37 yards which is decent, until you factor in the fumble.
That doesn't answer the question of why he isn't delivering higher numbers in every category. But to be fair, there are a lot of players not delivering right now. The blame can't solely be placed on Leshoure for not gaining yards on the ground versus Minnesota. The offensive line needs to properly block and pull in order for the play to be executed like it should. He can't run through a mountain of defenders without a little bit of help. The Vikings held the Lions and stopped the run game very effectively, which ultimately shut down Leshoure.
The Titans didn't seem to have prepared as well against Leshoure since he was coming off a suspension and not expected to have as many carries as he ended up getting. The surprise might have allowed him to break through and get those 100 yards for the day.
One good and one not so good game is a fair description. Having to sit out from practice for two weeks could have gotten him off to a slow start in his delivery. But he did practice with the team before the suspension and has had two weeks after his suspension to learn the plays. Realistically, two weeks is not enough time to accurately gauge Leshoure's abilities overall. There weren't too many players that DID have a good game against the Vikings, so he shouldn't be singled out in this instance either.
So why isn't Leshoure delivering big plays, big numbers and big runs? Why isn't anyone on the team delivering the numbers they were predicted to have? Lack of cohesion, lack of focus…they could all play in to the disappointing start the Lions have had as a team. Give Leshoure two more games and then another evaluation to see what he delivers after a bye week and some extra practice and rest.

Which lottery has worst odds?
PB is 175 million to 1
MM is 195 million to 1
Worst odds for what?
Some 6/49 games has the best odds of winning $10M but PB has better odds of winning $1M. If you just want to win $2, then MM has better odds than most 6/49 games or any other game. No games have better odds of winning a dollar than a 5/39 game.
When asking which lottery has worst odds, you have to explain what you mean if you expect an answer.
* you don't need to buy more tickets, just buy a winning ticket *
Thank you for the answer.
The lottery that you haven't won yet.
Wrong, as usual.
PB is 175,223,510 to 1
MM is 175,711,536 to 1
Maybe you'll learn these things when you're old enough to play, sonny boy.
But I doubt it.
Ridge, spotted that when I was at work, lurking and could'nt log on,
started to wonder if anyone would catch it,
LMAO, I guess a mountain boy can catch anything.

WFP transits 210 tons of flour for Afghanistan via Iran
More than 210 tons of flour provided by the World Food Program (WFP) have been transited through Iran for Afghanistan since October 6, the state IRNA news agency reported Sunday October 14, quoting an Iranian official.
"This quantity of flour is destined for the oppressed people of Afghanistan," said Mussa Yadi, a customs official in the border city of Taybad in the northeastern Khorassan province, cited by IRNA.
Iran has also in recent days sent 15 truck loads of aid comprising 1,020 blankets, water and insecticides to Herat, close to the Iranian border. Iran, which shares a 900-kilometer (540-mile) border with Afghanistan, is already home to some two million Afghan refugees and has closed its borders with its eastern neighbor fearing a major influx of refugees following the US and British military strikes against Afghanistan.
Tehran was swift to condemn the September 11 attacks on the United States but has refused to join a US-led international coalition against terrorism, suggesting such a campaign should be led by the United Nations. — (AFP, Tehran)

Types of Fantasy Baseball Leagues
Which type of fantasy baseball league is right for you?
What used to be simply a vanilla pastime is now a Heinz 57 of different flavors of formats, thanks mainly to the many great automated internet systems that will tabulate your stats for you.
Player Selection Pool
The first decision that needs to be made is what players are available to your fantasy baseball managers.
There are three such options:
* Mixed Leagues — Players from the National and American Leagues are available. This is the most common format, but usually results in teams made up of essentially all-star teams since leagues rarely have more than 10 teams in them.
* National League Only — By limiting picks to only National League players, it makes for a more challenging league in that managers will need to have knowledge of non-stars and reserve players. In most leagues, if one of your players is traded to the American League during the season, you are simply out of luck. On the other hand, a team that is deep in the standings can benefit from when a player gets traded from an American League team to the Senior Circuit. Often, a pitcher sent from the DH-heavy AL to the NL performs better when moved to a NL club.
* American League Only — Since the AL has only 14 teams, compared to the NL's 16, an American League only format can be even more challenging for managers. You also have the added element of the Designated Hitter being added to the roster. Draft Format
Snake Draft — A snake draft is still the most common way to hold a fantasy baseball draft. In a snake draft, teams are awarded a drafting position from one to last. When the first round ends, the final team gets the first pick of the second round and so on throughout the draft. Such a draft format often doesn't allow for a lot of creativity from managers since the online systems give suggested picks at each position. Inactive managers may even leave the draft and allow the computer to make its remaining picks.
Auction — Auction drafts are gaining increasing popularity among advanced fantasy baseball players. In an auction draft, managers are given $260 to spend on 23 players. I'll bet many MLB owners wish that this was the budget for acquiring players. Auction drafts require increased attention and strategy and many auction managers say that no two auction drafts are ever alike.
Scoring Format
4 x 4 — Four by four is the original rotisserie baseball format that was the basis for the game. It is a format, however, that is dieing out and is only still played by old school leagues. It's easy to see why. When rotisserie baseball was invented, computers were as big as a room and statistics needed to be compiled by hand. Plus, Al Gore hadn't invented the internet yet. Today, however, with internet sites offering so many different statistical categories, it's easy to see why the 4 x 4 has been replaced with more sophisticated and varied statistical categories.
The scoring format for 4 x 4 is average, home runs, RBI, and stolen bases for hitters plus wins, ERA, WHIP, and saves for pitchers. As such, stolen bases and saves take on far more importance than they do in traditional baseball.
* 5 x 5 — Five by five is the most popular scoring system in fantasy baseball today. It maintains the original 4 x 4 categories, plus adds pitcher's strikeouts and hitter's runs scored to the format.
* 6 x 6 — If 5 x 5 isn't enough, try a 6 x 6 league. 6 x 6 probably best resembles a player's true value in real baseball. In a 6 x 6 league, a hitter's on base percentage and pitcher's holds count. If you believe a walk is as good as a hit, then 6 x 6 is for you, as feared sluggers and patient lead off men have increased value. Moreover, since starting pitchers rarely go longer than 6 or 7 innings any more, the 6 x 6 format brings value to the all-important set up man since holds are now a factor.
* Points Scoring System — Sophisticated internet sites today allow for maximum flexibility in your scoring system. With points, a league can assign points based on MLB statistics. For instance, is a single as good as a triple? No way, but in a 4 x 4 system, it contributes to only one category — batting average. In a points system, you could award 3 points for a triple and 1 for a single.
A common scoring system gives points for hits based on total bases and this of course, also credits walks. RBI and runs scored add one and a stolen base can be worth either one or two. On the pitching side, an inning pitched is 1 point, a win is 10 and a loss is -0.5. Add 1 for strikeout and 5 for a save and an earned run allowed is -1.
* Head to Head — Part of the attraction of fantasy football is that it is ideal for a head to head format. Many fans of fantasy football like the fact that there is a winner and a loser every week in the head to head format. Baseball can offer the same option.
Each week, teams face off against each other and get a win or loss. A H2H league is good, because it keeps team managers interested as they don't fall way behind with no chance of catching up. Two start pitchers become even more important in a Head to Head League and opponent match-ups become critical. Hitter-friendly ballparks also take on new meaning and can affect both your hitters and your pitchers on your club.
Other Options
* Keeper Leagues — When you win your fantasy baseball league, you become enamored with the players on your championship team. But, in most fantasy baseball leagues, when the season is over, you lose those studs and start all over next season. Not in a keeper league. Rules vary from league to league, but the most common rule is that a manager can carry over two players from one season to the next. Keeper leagues add value to younger players and make drafting a player like Stephen Strasburg make more sense.
* On Base Percentage — Your Little League coach probably told you that a walk was as good as a hit, and he was right. Hence, a lot of leagues are wisely removing the batting average statistic and replacing it with on base percentage.
What's Best for You?
The rise of internet statistical sites for fantasy baseball leagues has created so many options from the original rotisserie leagues which involved diligent use of the pencil and paper to determine the league standings. Fantasy Baseball is no longer Roto Baseball; it is much more.
You will enjoy playing fantasy baseball regardless of what type of league you are involved in. If the league is local and involves other guys that you know, you will likely enjoy it more. Add a trophy or a cash prize and you'll stay even more involved.
Remember, that the ultimate purpose of a fantasy baseball league, however, is to increase your knowledge of all baseball teams and not just your local club. The more you know about a subject, the more that you'll enjoy it.
Just remember: If you go to a game, don't EVER tell a Major League Baseball player that he is on your fantasy baseball team.
He doesn't care.

2010 Facebook Relationship Status Changes
More Breakups Than New Relationships on Facebook in 2010
When you look at 2010 by the numbers, it looks like a brokenhearted year for Facebook users. Thirty-five percent more users changed their relationship status to "single" than to "in a relationship." Here's the breakdown:
- 43.9 million people changed their relationship status to single
- 3 million changed it to it's complicated
- 28.5 million changed their status to in a relationship
- 6 million to engaged
- 36.8 to married
Of course, that doesn't account for the three million people who already had "complicated" relationships, people who never change their status, and those who handle relationship-status changes by my preferred method: hiding it all together.
