Teens, obesity and links to sleep, TV time and Vitamin D: Healthy Living
Oregonian (Portland, OR)
April 11--Scientists seem to spend a lot of time pondering teens and their weight. Check out a few of the studies making news:
SNOOZE TIME: Parents might want to let junior sleep in.
A new study by researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and published in the journal Pediatrics, showed that fewer hours of sleep is associated with greater increases in adolescent body mass index among study participants aged 14 to 18. Increasing sleep duration to 10 hours per day, especially for those in the upper half of the BMI distribution, the study suggests, could help to reduce the prevalence of adolescent obesity.
TV TIME: Researchers at Boston Children's Hospital have shown that paying attention to TV is strongly associated with higher body mass index, medicalxpress.com reports. The study, published in next month's issue of Pediatrics but already online, found no association between BMI and attention to video games or computers, despite the duration of use.
VITAMIN D: Vitamin D supplements can help obese children and teens control their blood-sugar levels, which may help them stave off Type 2 diabetes, researchers found in a study involving pre-diabetic obese children and adolescents in the University of Missouri's Adolescent Diabetic Obesity Program.
"For clinicians, the main message from this research is to check the vitamin D status of their obese patients, because they're likely to have insufficient amounts," said Catherine Peterson, associate professor of nutrition and exercise physiology. "Adding vitamin D supplements to their diets may be an effective addition to treating obesity and its associated insulin resistance."
The study was published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

Rescind the nomination of Judge Beth Labson Freeman to the Federal Bench
The appointment to the Federal Bench of San Mateo Superior Court Judge Beth Labson Freeman must be stopped. Obama appointed her in June 2013 after being recommended by Senator Diane Feinstein. She is a danger to women, children and the public. A sample of cases in which she mislead the Senate Judicary Committee, endangered children, and used delay tactics are listed below.
Fotinos v Fotinos: San Mateo Superior Court Case F075139
Judge Beth Labson Freeman stated on her questionnaire to the Senate Judiciary on page 40 that no one has filed a CCP 170.6 (a strike against a judge) against her. In fact, Michele Fotinos filed a CCP 170.6 against her twice, on May 2, 2012 and on July 23, 2012. A federal lawsuit was filed in February 2012 in which the California Attorney General was asked to investigate Judge Freeman's conduct regarding interference with the judicial independence of Judge Donald Franchi. On March 29, 2012 Presiding Judge Freeman was put on notice that John Marcus Fotinos was hiding weapons despite a prior felony conviction and documented abuse of his children. (Michele Fotinos vs Superior Court Of California - Civil Complaint Civ 512853). Mr. Fotinos was later charged with illegal possession of 16 guns, two of which are illegal assault weapons and 10,000 rounds of ammunition. (San Mateo Superior Court Case: SC07642 June 2012).His older daughter is the mother's custody due to abuse suffered at the hands of her father and receives California Victims Compensation but his son remains in his custody even though he has been subpoenaed as a witness in the weapons case by the District Attorney.
Judge Freeman is in direct violation of the California Code Of Judicial Ethics Canon 3 A Judge Shall Perform The Duties Of Judicial Office Impartially, Competently, and Diligently when she had discussions with a judge on the case where she had been removed by a CCP 170.6 San Mateo County Case PRO121437.
Child Psychiatrist William Ayres San Mateo County Case SC064366
Judge Beth Labson Freeman presided over the infamous case of Bay Area child psychiatrist William Ayres who was charged with molesting his patients. As a serial pedophile, Ayres received referrals from San Mateo County's juvenile justice division as well as from schools and other doctors over four decades. The District Attorney's Office knows of 50 alleged victims of Ayres, some going back to the 1960s. Victim advocate Victoria Balfour made her first call to San Mateo police in 2002 about Ayres. "I thought that Ayres would be arrested immediately, and the case wrapped up within the year. Little did I know," she wrote in an email. "Along the way, some of the victims I know have committed suicide." email@example.com
Beth Labson Freeman was San Mateo County Counsel when the allegations of abuse first surfaced. After several false starts, police closed in on Ayres in 2005 and prosecutors charged him in 2007. She presided over the trial and declared a mistrial in 2009 when the jury could not reach a verdict. Finally in August 2013, Ayres pled guilty and was convicted of 8 counts of child molestation, but the delays and incompetency handling the trial nearly ran out the statue of limitations for the victims which would have protected the county from lawsuits.
Contreras v. Cervantes Godines, San Mateo Superior Court Case I 01151
This case was brought under the Hague Convention. Mariela Cervantes Godines alleged and testified that she and her children were victims of domestic violence and sexual abuse by Mr. Contreras. She fled from Aguililla Michoacan, Mexico a center for the drug cartels to the United States where she had lived and had family with her children seeking safety and obtained a "good cause" from the District Attorney in San Mateo County which allows to her leave with her children. She testified that Mr. Contreras was part of a drug cartel with influence over the police. Judge Freeman removed her children without notice and gave them to the father, in violation of the law, even before the trial commenced. Forensic psychologist Dr. Susan Wilde and domestic violence expert and University of California Law School professor Nancy Lemon testified for the mother and children. Astonishingly, Judge Freeman found the father credible and not the mother. The father returned to Mexico with the children and was assasinated. The children now receive California Victims Compensation.
Judge Freeman should be rejected as a candidate for the federal bench. She is untruthful, careless about the safety of children, uninterested in justice and protection of the public. This is not a person that should be on a Federal Bench. Senator Whitehouse who presided over Wednesdays Senate Judiciary Committee hearing expressed that this process is one of the most important decisions for a senator.

New York Jets legend Joe Namath keeps firing away at Rex Ryan. In his latest shot, Namath accuses the Jets' coach of being "too darn nice" to his team
On ESPN radio in New York, Namath said Ryan's approach to dealing with his players has contributed to the team's 2-3 start. Ryan is widely considered a "players coach."
"Rex is Mr. Good Guy to these guys," Namath said. "He has been. He's been talking about how good they are all the time. He's doing everything to win their favor. He bends over backwards for the guys to be on their side.
"It might work in the long run, I don't know. I just think he's been too darn nice to this team."
Namath apparently believes Ryan's good-guy approach with his players has led to undisciplined play.
"These guys aren't as smart as they think they are," Namath said. "They're making too many penalties; they're busting too many assignments. They just haven't been focused the way you need to focus to win consistently in the league."
Namath has been a constant critic of Ryan this season. He believes Ryan has inflated the players' opinions of themselves, thereby reducing their motivation to prepare.
In late September, Ryan said, "I welcome him to come out here and watch our guys prepare. He would see a team that, in my opinion, prepares as well as any team I've been around. So I disagree with him."

ST KILDA will make a bid for Gold Coast's Josh Caddy and West Coast defender Mitch Brown in an effort to turn loss into gain.
With star free agent Brendon Goddard quitting the club for Essendon and promising youngster Jamie Cripps seeking a trade to West Coast, the Saints have identified Brown and Caddy as the players they want.
The moves came as new Carlton coach Mick Malthouse declared the Blues would be a bidder for Kurt Tippett if the Queenslander was prepared to consider a shift to a new club other than the Gold Coast. The Brisbane Lions said yesterday they were confident the former star Crow favoured a move to one of the Queensland clubs, but Malthouse said the Blues were interested.
''If he wants to go to Melbourne, guess what? Carlton will put their hand up for him,'' he said.
The Blues are close to signing Brock McLean to a two-year contract extension, which means they would need to lose other players to accommodate Tippett's hefty price tag.
Sydney is also reportedly interested in Tippett.
The Saints were hoping to use the compensation pick — almost certain to be pick 13 — they will gain for the loss of Goddard in a deal with Gold Coast for Caddy.
Geelong, with a bankable compensation pick it received for Gary Ablett, is still regarded as the favourite to secure the homecoming Suns midfielder.
North Melbourne is also a bidder for Caddy, whose family lives in the nearby northern suburbs.
Brown is contracted to the Eagles and they have indicated no interest in negotiating on the defender, who struggled for opportunities this year with Darren Glass and Eric Mackenzie holding down the key defensive posts.
Having secured Goddard, Essendon is waiting on a decision from forward Angus Monfries, who is a restricted free agent, on whether he will accept a new two-year deal to remain at Windy Hill or accept a four-year offer that is believed to be on the table for him to join Port Adelaide.
The Bombers acknowledge that they will need players to leave to accommodate Goddard, with a number of players, including forward Scott Gumbleton, Leroy Jetta, David Hille, Alwyn Davey, Sam Lonergan, Brent Prismall and Ricky Dyson all still out of contract.
In a cat-and-mouse with Richmond, Port Adelaide is considering matching Richmond's offer of a three-year deal with a conditional fourth year, for restricted free agent Troy Chaplin. The Power had 72hours from when the contract was tabled on Monday to decide whether to match the terms.
In the event that a club matches the contract terms of a rival club for a restricted free agent, that player has the choice to stay at his club or go in the national draft.
Most observers from rival clubs believe Port is unlikely to match Richmond's offer given the Power is also pursuing Monfries, Jordan Russell and possibly others. Port is also weighing up whether to match Fremantle's offer for former Rising Star winner Danyle Pearce, who has received a substantial offer to join the Dockers.
Gold Coast football manager Marcus Ashcroft said yesterday the club had received a large amount of interest in Caddy and was working out the best deal.
''He played only two games in his first year but this year he played every game, and the development that our guys have put into him over two years is hard to measure,'' he said.
''How do you rate his potential? He might well go into a side next year and play up to All-Australian potential.
''We need to add all those things up and make a calculated and considered judgment, and hopefully a deal is worked out.''
Asked if Gold Coast would force Caddy into the draft if a suitable trade deal does not eventuate, Ashcroft said: ''Potentially.''
Carlton has secured former Collingwood player and Gold Coast assistant Shane O'Bree to fill the final assistant coaching vacancy to work under his former coach.
The Western Bulldogs have been in discussions with Greater Western Sydney about a possible deal to secure Jack Martin as one of the two 17-year-olds available in the mini-draft.

Lenders are launching mortgage products to get over the hurdle of property affordability for first-home buyers, who are facing increasingly stiff competition from a resurgence of investors.
Commonwealth Bank of Australia subsidiary BankWest has released a loan with an interest rate that reduces over time, while Yellow Brick Road has scrapped the requirement for a savings history with a financial institution.
Separately, Westpac yesterday tweaked its loan-to-value ratios, a move that reduces the size of a deposit needed relative to a property's value. In a sign it is becoming more comfortable with the economic backdrop, the bank moved LVRs from 87 per cent to 92 per cent for new bank customers and maintained its LVR at 97 per cent for existing customers.
From September Westpac will also cut its deferred establishment fee, which applies if a mortgage is repaid within four years, from $900 to $700.
BankWest head of mortgages Dean Gillespie said first-home buyers had fallen from 25 per cent of its mortgage book to 10 per cent in the past six months, while the proportion of investors had risen from 10 per cent to 15 per cent.
"The two big issues borrowers face are affordability and the perception that their loyalty with a lender is not recognised," he said.
In response, BankWest's Rate Cutter Home Loan offers an increasing discount the longer a customer stays on the product. The mortgage starts with a 0.4 per cent annual discount off the lender's standard variable rate and increases by 0.1 per cent for the next four years to a maximum discount of 0.8 per cent, which then applies for the remaining life of the loan.
Yellow Brick Road founder
"There is huge demand among first- home buyers who are being knocked back all over the place," he said. "We soft-launched the product last week and had strong take-up along the New South Wales South and Central Coasts, and in Queensland – areas popular with first-home buyers."
He noted Australian Bureau of Statistics figures that showed for the year to June first-home buyer commitments as a percentage of total owner occupied housing finance commitments fell 11.1 per cent, representing a drop of about 60,000 first-time buyers from the market.
Most major banks dropped their maximum LVRs from 95 per cent to 90 per cent during the financial crisis and introduced genuine savings requirements of at least 5 per cent shortly after the boosted first-home owner's grant was released in October 2008.
In the past year banks have started to differentiate between new and existing clients, offering more generous LVRs to borrowers they know.
The most affordable standard variable mortgages on offer from lenders with wide distribution include Newcastle Permanent at 6.49 per cent, NAB at 6.54 per cent and credit union mecu at 6.59 per cent, researcher Cannex reported.

ROB Wearne's spot-kick on the hour mark earned Falmouth Town a point on Wednesday night as they drew 1-1 at Godolphin Atlantic.
The Ambers were searching for their first league win of the season, having come close against Elburton Villa on Saturday before squandering a two goal lead to lose 3-2.
It was the hosts who took the lead though in the 42nd minute when Arran Dilley steered a header into the net.
Town came out fighting in the second half and won a penalty in the 60th minute which was duly converted by Wearne.
The results sees Town remain in 18th position in the South West Peninsula League Premier table.

403 Forbidden
MORRISTOWN — A series of "puzzling" actions by the late Rev. Edward Hinds all point to a "cover-up" of his sexual relationship with his accused murderer, Jose Feliciano, the former church custodian's attorney said in his closing argument this morning.
Feliciano, 66, of Easton, Pa., is accused in the Oct. 22, 2009 stabbing death of Hinds, the parish priest at St. Patrick Church in Chatham.
Feliciano's public defender, Neill Hamilton, acknowledged that Feliciano killed Hinds, but asked the jury to find Feliciano guilty of the lesser charge of passion/provocation manslaughter.
"We're asking you to find him guilty of what he did, and not guilty of what he didn't do," Hamilton said.
Hamilton cited several "undisputed facts" which he said prove Feliciano's testimony that he killed Hinds when the priest fired him less than five months before his planned retirement after forcing him to perform sex acts for more than four years in exchange for keeping unresolved 1988 criminal charges against him quiet.
Hinds "got aroused by sexually humiliating Jose," Hamilton charged, describing Feliciano as "a man who admired him" but became understandably enraged.
Although all church employees who had contact with children were required to undergo criminal background checks, Feliciano was the only one at St. Patrick's whose fingerprint card hadn't been returned to State Police in 2009, Hamilton said.
"That was not a coincidence," Hamilton said.
He pointed out that a church administrative assistant, Jeannine Sorrentino, testified that when she told Hinds Feliciano's card hadn't been returned, the priest said "he would take care of it."
"That is odd," Hamilton said, pointing out it was Sorrentino's job to take care of the fingerprint cards.
"What he should have said was, 'you take care of it,' " Hamilton said. "Father Hinds was covering up Mr. Feliciano's record."
And when Hinds did fire Feliciano, Hamilton pointed out, he tried to do it "quietly," with no one else present. He had told no one else he planned to fire Feliciano and he gave the janitor no notice, Hamilton said.
By contrast, Hamilton said, when Hinds fired another custodian, Feliciano's friend, John Bongo, his supervisor was present and he gave him two weeks notice.
Saying he believes the sexual allegations, Hamilton said that when Feliciano initially mentioned the alleged relationship in an interview two days after the killing with an investigator for the prosecutor's office, he wasn't thinking the story would benefit him. Feliciano was "embarrassed" about the relationship and went on to tell the investigator he should be punished for killing the priest, Hamilton pointed out.
Trying to prove the killing was not planned, Hamilton said he believed Feliciano's testimony that he found the small steak knife used in the stabbing on a kitchen table in the rectory, where the priest's body was found.
On display for the jury in the trial are knives found in drawers in the rectory and parish center, and Hamilton showed the jury a much larger carving knife that Feliciano could have used instead.
Feliciano faces a second murder charge – felony murder – for allegedly robbing Hinds' cell phone while killing the priest. Hamilton asked the jury for a not guilty verdict on that charge.
Hamilton pointed out that Feliciano put the phone down and "didn't intend to take the phone until he started to clean up." Feliciano had intended to hurt Hinds, not steal from him, Hamilton said, pointing out that about $300 in cash was left in Hinds' pockets.
Morris County Prosecutor Robert Bianchi will be presenting his closing argument this afternoon. The case is expected to go to the jury Tuesday.

Watsonville >> Candidates for Santa Cruz County 4th District supervisor tackled issues of homelessness, economic development, land use and transportation at a forum Tuesday.
About 75 people, mostly middle-aged or older, attended the event in a hall at the First United Methodist Church.
Incumbent Greg Caput is facing challenges from retired Watsonville police chief Terry Medina, Realtor Dana Sales and small business owner Jimmy Dutra.
Challengers said Caput was failing to deliver for his constituents, in part because of an inability to compromise and strike deals with other supervisors.
Caput, 64, pointed to several projects in the works when he was elected but completed during his term. He said he gave projects such as flood control on the Pajaro River the push to get them done after years of delay.
"Four years ago, I didn't run to go along and get along," Caput said. "I'm there to represent the people of South County and make sure we got our fair share of the pie."
Dutra, 39, countered that the 4th District has been neglected for years, its roads filled with potholes, its storefronts empty.
"All you have to do is drive down any street and realize we're not getting the resources we deserve," Dutra said. "We need to send someone with fire in their belly to get things done."
Medina, 67, said South County's problems aren't going to be solved until farmers, the business community, pilots and the city work together.
"Everybody in this county looks at us as a dysfunctional family. They don't pay attention to us, and we think it's because of them," Medina said. "We have to step forward boldly with one voice, and not five voices yelling at one another."
On the economy, Medina said he'd work to lift restrictions on commercial development at Manabe-Ow, a 90-acre property targeted for a business park by the city.
Sales, 58, spoke of more favorable tax and regulatory climates in other states and advocated closer collaboration with the chamber of commerce to revitalize Watsonville's downtown.
"It's more important to go to businesses and say 'What would it take to bring you downtown?'" Sales said.
Caput stressed the protection of farmland and agricultural jobs.
Dutra's vision is to turn South County into the "Silicon Valley of agriculture," attracting engineers to build the technology used by farmers.
Medina and Dutra support widening Highway 1. Sales said more was needed than just "inching" along, adding lanes little by little and pushing congestion farther down the highway. He and Caput support passenger service on the rail line purchased by the Regional Transportation Commission.
Candidates will meet again from 7-9 p.m. Tuesday at the Sesnon House on the Cabrillo College Campus in Aptos at a forum sponsored by the Santa Cruz Chamber and Santa Cruz County Business Council.Editor's Note: This story has been updated to correct an error.
Ryan Coonerty and Bob Lamonica, candidates for the 3rd District seat, also will participate.

Good except for loading symbol. This is a great theme, however the loading symbol is not transparent and has a very annoying squared background which ruins the polished feel of this theme. Please fix the loading issue and I will rate 5stars.

Rays vs. White Sox, with another new look
Update 5:06 p.m. Manager Joe Maddon said with White Sox lefty John Danks such a tough matchup - and lefties hitting better against him - he wanted to get more left-handed hitters in the lineup against him.
Lefties are .277 against Danks this season, with righties .196.
That's partly why C John Jaso will be at DH; Dioner Navarro, who has hit Danks well (5-for-13), is behind the plate. Maddon said he'd prefer to have a set lineup, and not as many changes, but for now, with new "toys" like Jaso and Hank Blalock, and both Carlos Pena and B.J. Upton struggling, he's going to mix it up.
Developing: The new ideas keep coming for manager Joe Maddon, as he tries yet another new combination to get the offense going, with rookie C John Jaso as the DH, Evan Longoria back in the No. 3 spot and Ben Zobrist off.
Here is the lineup:
Bartlett ss,
Crawford lf,
Longoria 3b,
Pena 1b,
Jaso DH,
Upton cf,
Brignac 2b,
Navarro c,
Kapler rf,

Yum…I get compliments all the time when I am wearing this, from ladies and guys. I'm 25 and I don't think this perfume is too old or too young for anyone… especially when sprayed on the neck and your body naturally gives it's own tweak to it. This to me is a sweeter smelling perfume like flowers mixed with sugar. I love it. — 6 years, 6 months agobre_bre | 43 reviews
Light and Summery ScentI tend to prefer daytime fragrances with a light fruity scent and this fits that description perfectly.It's ideal for office/school wear and isn't overwhelming on a hot day, but if you are the type that fragrance tends to wear off quickly on, Juicy is one of those fragrances that will need to be reapplied to last an entire day. — 6 years, 7 months agoKaralinne | 7 reviews
Viva delicious!!!Viva la Juicy smells beautiful!! Has a wonderful scent that isn't overpowering. I think this one is a bit lighter than Juicy Couture. Viva la Juicy has a little more of a fruity scent. The perfume makes you feel good when you wear it. Great to wear during the day or night. The fragrance will last all day. — 6 years, 10 months agoTweety12 | 118 reviews

Addabbo Co-Sponsors Bill to Prevent Release of Personal & Sensitive Student Information Without Parental Consent
"New York and several other states have recently agreed to provide confidential student information to corporate entities associated with the Melinda and Bill Gates Foundation and the News Corp., owned by media magnate Rupert Murdoch," said Addabbo. "As a parent and an elected official, I find it highly disturbing – especially since parents and students are not being given an opportunity to opt out of this information distribution. The bill I'm co-sponsoring will address this important privacy issue and protect student data from possible misuse."
The information about students – including names, addresses, test scores, disciplinary and attendance records, race, ethnicity, disabilities and other highly sensitive data – is to be used for a variety of purposes and will be made available to commercial vendors to help them create and market learning products. It will be provided to a new company called "inBloom," which is creating a national database of student information to aid businesses who contract with schools in developing their teaching materials.
"No one questions that we want our school children to have top-notch teaching materials that will help them learn and succeed," said Addabbo, a member of the Senate Education Committee. "But invading the privacy of our children and families, and possibly even exposing them to identity theft, certainly isn't the right way to go." He noted that the Murdoch-owned News Corp. has recently been weathering a number of scandals associated with personal privacy invasion issues.
Under the bipartisan legislation (S.4284/A.6059), stringent safeguards on the release of student personal data to third parties would be implemented, including a prohibition on "inBloom" information being gathered and used without the express consent of parents of minor children and of those students who are 18 years or older.
"I hope this crucial legislation receives the attention and action it deserves during the remainder of the 2013 legislative session," said Addabbo. "Data mining, even purportedly for the sake of educational innovation, is still data mining and must be subject to appropriate and effective privacy controls and protections."
The legislation is now under consideration by the Senate and Assembly Education Committees.

Tampa Bay Lightning
Tocchet's role as Bolts' leader put to the test
TAMPA - Even though Rick Tocchet spent most of last season behind the bench running the Lightning, the former four-time all-star essentially is a rookie coach trying to lead a once-proud franchise back to being a contender. The Lightning came out of the gate relatively quickly and appeared to be on the road to redemption, but Tampa Bay has hit a major speed bump in the past month heading into tonight's game against the Philadelphia Flyers, the opener of a five-game homestand. Since beating the New York Rangers 5-1 on Nov. 25 to improve to 10-6-7, good for a tie for seventh in the Eastern Conference standings, Tampa Bay has gone 3-8-2. That tailspin has been steadied temporarily by a two-game winning streak. Should the three-week trend not be reversed - and consecutive wins against St. Louis and the New York Islanders might be signs of a turnaround - it would lead some to wonder whether Tocchet is the right man behind the bench.General Manager Brian Lawton, however, threw his full support behind Tocchet and his staff, praising the time and effort they have put toward game preparation every day. "So far I think he's done a good job," Lawton said. "He's just got to stick with it and keep pounding home what he believes in. He has to continue to raise the energy level around the players, raise the anxiousness. When you get into stretches like that, the coach is a leader and it's incumbent upon him to be that person to help drive things forward." Lawton said Tocchet also has complete control of all personnel decisions in dealing with the roster on a day-to-day basis, including when Alex Tanguay was scratched last week for a game in Nashville. "The coach has to be able to make those decisions and he has free reign to make those decisions with the players," Lawton said. "That's one of the bullets a coach has to have in his arsenal, the ability to make the calls on how much someone plays and who plays." This season has been a feeling-out process for Tocchet, who has been learning on the fly. Of the three members of his coaching staff, Adam Oates is in his first year and Wes Walz is in his second, just two years removed from playing. Longtime Dallas Stars associate coach Rick Wilson is the only staff member with prior head coaching experience - two years at the junior level and as a midseason replacement in Dallas in 2001-02. Handling the dip in the season has not been an easy task for the 45-year-old Tocchet. Last season, he came into a near-impossible situation, taking over for Barry Melrose 16 games in and trying to right a team that went on to finish with the fewest wins in the league. This season started better until scoring woes and untimely mistakes began to take their toll while sending Tocchet into some sleepless nights as he scrambled to try to find the right answers. "It's tough because sometimes as a coach you are looking to try different things or ideas on how you want to skin a cat," Tocchet said. "One thing is you have to believe you are doing the proper things system-wise, practice-wise and you can't question what you are doing because you are losing." Along the way, Tocchet said he has started to get a better feel for how to handle situations and players. "During the losing streak, there were times where in between periods you have to be able to find that fine line on knowing when to give it to your team and when not to give it to them," he said. "I actually think during this losing streak I'm starting to find that balance a little bit better."

Man jailed after eluding police between Coupeville and Langley
A Whatcom County man who may have been involved in a suspicious death is behind bars after attempting to elude police Tuesday between Coupeville and Langley.
The Island County Sheriff's Office received a request from Skagit County that day to attempt to locate a stolen Black Ford F-150.
Police learned that the driver was possibly armed with one or more firearms and that he may have been involved in a suspicious death in Whatcom County, according to the Island County Sheriff's Office.
Initial reports stated the suspect, Joshua Adams, a 41-year-old Whatcom County resident, left his vehicle at a gas station in Skagit County where he had stolen the black Ford F-150.
An Island County deputy located the black Ford truck driving south on Highway 20 near Coupeville.
The vehicle attempted to elude police and was eventually stopped near Maxwelton Road and State Highway 525 with the assistance of the Washington State Patrol and the Langley Police Department.
Adams was taken into custody and booked into Island County Jail for possession of a stolen motor vehicle, possession of a stolen firearm and for being a felon in possession of a firearm.
He will be arraigned at 1:15 p.m. Wednesday in Island County Superior Court on local charges.
The Island County Sheriff's Office is assisting the sheriff's offices in Whatcom and Skagit counties with any additional charges they may have against Adams.

Vizio Announces Holiday PC Lineup

Vizio holiday PC line
(Source: Vizio)
Machines will use 3rd generation Core processors
Vizio is a company most of us probably associate with HDTVs. However, the company recently got into the computer business with a
full line of all-in-one and ultrabook PCs
. Now, Vizio is revealing its new lineup for the holiday shopping season. Vizio's line of computers includes new 24-inch and 27-inch all-in-one computers and more.
Both of the all-in-one machines are specifically designed to run Windows 8 and feature touchscreen displays. Both are equipped with full HD resolution multi-touch displays that support 10-finger capacitive multi-touch. Vizio is mum on exactly what hardware specifications the machines will carry.
We do know, however, that the all-in-one machines will start at a price of $998 and feature third-generation Intel Core processors. At that starting price, we would expect a modestly spec'd machine likely using a Core i3 or i5 and 4 GB of RAM.
"The new All-in-One Touch PCs with Windows 8 are extremely user friendly, bringing both entertainment and power to the user's fingertips," said Matt McRae, VIZIO Chief Technology Officer. "We focused on delivering an enhanced touchscreen and touchpad experience so users can utilize multi-gesture touch options however they're most comfortable. Not only can customers tap, swipe or pinch directly on the All-in-One's screen, but they can also utilize the same gestures on the integrated touchpads of the Thin + Light and Notebook PCs."
Vizio also has two ultrabooks and a notebook computer in its line. The ultrabooks have either a 14-inch or 15.6-inch screen and the notebook uses a 15.6-inch screen. Both of the ultrabooks and the notebook have gesture-supporting touchpads designed to make navigating Windows 8 easy. The computers have SRS Premium Sound HD audio systems and some models of machines feature NVIDIA
-class GeForce graphics processors.
The 15.6-inch notebook will start at $1129 while the ultrabooks start at $849.
"We are excited to be working with VIZIO as it brings Windows 8 to its line-up of holiday PCs," said John Case, vice president, Worldwide OEM Marketing, Microsoft. "It's impressive to see VIZIO bringing its expertise in consumer entertainment devices to PCs with HD quality display and premium audio that will provide a rich experience for customers."

"We are going to continue to work with them to make sure they understand the reality of the Internet. A lot of these people don't have Ph.Ds, and they don't have a degree in computer science." -- RIM co-CEO Michael Lazaridis

Jet Professionals, the wholly owned staffing specialist and subsidiary of Jet Aviation, has announced two new ventures here at MEBA: a strategic alliance with Future Stream Japan; and a similar arrangement with EDI-Staffbuilders in the Philippines. Earlier this year Jet Professionals was selected to provide aviation staffing and consultation services to Dubai World Central, and last year it opened an office at Al Bateen Executive Airport in Abu Dhabi.
Through the Future Stream alliance Jet Professionals is hoping to accelerate its introduction into the Japanese market, while the alliance with EDI-Staffbuilders is aimed primarily at providing employment opportunities for skilled Filipino aviation professionals.
Jet Professionals (Stand 560) also recognizes that aviation is something of a fluid marketplace, and provides services that cater for what it terms "outplacement," when companies are forced to rebalance their workforces. Jet Professionals offers courses that range from career guidance and employee counseling to CV writing and interview techniques. These courses are currently offered in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish.

LAFAYETTE — A federal judge Tuesday sentenced one of the leaders of a methamphetamine and cocaine trafficking organization based in Abbeville to 10 years in federal prison.
U.S. District Judge Elizabeth Foote also ordered Francisco "Pancho" Delgado-Galviz, 36, of Mexico City, to serve five years of supervised release once he's out of prison, according to a news release by U.S. Attorney Stephanie Finley.
Delgado-Galviz and 11 others were indicted in 2009 on drug trafficking, firearms and illegal use of communication facilities charges, Finley said. He pleaded guilty in November to one count of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine and cocaine, officials said.
Finley, who prosecuted the case, said the drug organization moved methamphetamine and cocaine from Mexico to distribute in the Acadiana region of Louisiana.
"The defendant admitted that he, along with another co-conspirator, was a decision maker in the organization," Finley said. "Their source of supply was from Arizona, but they developed a secondary source for this conspiracy in Houston."

A cleaning crew got quite the scare Friday morning after they arrived to a historic plantation in Franklin and found a man hiding inside.
Police said when the crew arrived to the Carnton Plantation they saw a car outside with a man inside, but assumed someone had come to work early.
As one woman walked into an office, however, she spotted a man hiding underneath one of the desks.
The woman screamed, causing both the driver and man to flee separately. Police said the driver came back at one point to pick up the man before fleeing again.
Authorities are looking into whether or not the man was a current or former employee with access codes or a key because the alarm was set and deliberately turned off overnight.
Further details were not immediately released.

Obama first addressed press freedom as a global issue back when he was visiting
his father's native
Today, the White House watered the garden with a statement for World Press Freedom Day on Sunday. "It is a day in which we celebrate the indispensable role played by journalists in exposing abuses of power, while we sound the alarm about the growing number of journalists silenced by death or jail as they attempt to bring daily news," reads the statement by President Obama. Citing CPJ statistics from our CPJ's journalist killed database, the statement goes on: "Since this day was first celebrated some sixteen years ago, 692 journalists have been killed. Only a third of those deaths were linked to the dangers of covering war; the majority of victims were local reporters covering topics such as crime, corruption, and national security in their home countries."
The president's statement goes on to address the "hundreds more" journalists "who face intimidation, censorship, and arbitrary arrest," noting that "there are journalists in jail or being actively harassed" in places like
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's remarks, recorded on videotape, are about the role of a free press to "expose abuses of power, fight corruption, challenge assumptions, and provide constructive outlets for new ideas and dissent."

Trustees of the Mountain View Whisman School District will hear an update on student enrollment during their regular meeting tonight.
Student enrollment is larger than projected and this could have an affect on board policies and administrative regulations throughout the school year and beyond.
Enrollment is a particularly significant issue this year because the district transitioned from being "revenue limit" to "basic aid." Revenue limit districts are funded both by property taxes and by the state on a per-student basis. Basic aid districts are funded almost entirely by property taxes, with some supplemental funding by the state.
The elementary school district officially went basic aid in July, and because of this switch, it is not necessarily beneficial for the district to take on more students. The issue could potentially affect policies such as district boundaries or interdistrict transfers.
Also tonight, trustees will recognize newly tenured teachers in the district those who have successfully completed the two-year probationary period.
The meeting is open to the public and will take place Thursday, Sept. 3, starting at 7 p.m. at the district office, located at 750-A San Pierre Way, Mountain View.

Arunya Rouch had just killed a co-worker in the parking lot of a Tarpon Springs Publix, police said, when she confronted 72-year-old clerk Virginia Wahler inside the busy store.
Rouch pulled a 9mm semiautomatic pistol from a green bag, police said. The two struggled. Rouch jabbed the gun into Wahler's stomach.
"Let me go or I'll kill you," she said.
Wahler released her grip and escaped with her life.
The encounter was just one of the new details authorities released Thursday about the workplace shooting that left Gregory Janowski dead. He had pulled into his usual Publix parking spot Tuesday morning and chatted on his cell phone with his wife about Easter plans and problems he was having with Rouch, one of his Publix co-workers. He did not know Rouch had just been fired.
Moments after he hung up, police say, Rouch approached him as he sat in his silver Honda and opened fire, striking him in the head and torso. She then sprinted into the store.
After fighting with Wahler, Rouch began seeking other targets, according to the FDLE. She chased employee Ronald Chmielorz, 47, pulling the slide of the gun to reload. Chmielorz ran for cover and escaped.
Before Rouch, 41, could kill again, police say, a Tarpon Springs detective confronted her. When Rouch fired several rounds, Sgt. Michael Trill shot her multiple times. The rampage was over.
On Thursday, Elizabeth Janowski came to the scene of her husband's murder to retrieve his final paycheck. She was too upset to go inside so a Publix employee brought it to her, said her best friend, Cristina Blanco.
Mrs. Janowski looked at a makeshift memorial in the parking lot and left balloons in her husband's memory.
She didn't want to comment while there or later at a news conference outside a restaurant in Hudson, where her mother, Hattie Ramazetti, held a family portrait of Gregory, Elizabeth and their 7-year-old daughter, Savanna.
Ramazetti shook as she spoke.
"My heart is breaking because my daughter's heart has been broken and there's nothing I can do to help her through the pain," she said.
Speaking through Blanco, Janowski's family said they are devastated by the loss of a "kind and generous" man who adored his wife and daughter. Mrs. Janowski must now try "to fill the void of a father taken too soon," Blanco said.
The family also expressed anger and frustration over reports that Janowski, 40, had harassed Rouch. "Greg was not a person who was a confrontational type of person," Blanco said.
She said Janowski's family was angered that Rouch was being portrayed by some as a victim.
"She made the horrible, horrific decision to take him from us," Blanco said.
Janowski told his wife that Rouch had threatened his life and crossed his name off the schedule after he approached her about violating Publix policy by working off the clock, Blanco said.
Blanco said no one from Publix's corporate office had reached out to Mrs. Janowski since the shooting.
Publix spokeswoman Shannon Patten said the company had been in contact with the family, although she did not know if Mrs. Janowski had been contacted directly.
"We had been in contact with them immediately, and since then we are working with his family on food arrangements for the service," she said. "We are not insensitive to anybody's feeling toward this."
Authorities have filed more charges against Rouch, who was initially charged with first-degree murder in Janowski's death. They include two charges of aggravated assault with a firearm for threatening the two Publix employees and two charges of attempted felony murder of a law enforcement officer.
In 911 recordings, released by Tarpon Springs police, a woman from a nearby hair salon reported hearing Janowski was shot in the face. She then told dispatchers that she heard the shooter had gone into the Publix.
As the call ends, approaching sirens can be heard in the background.
Another caller told a dispatcher she witnessed the shooting and was with the victim. She told the dispatcher she saw police approaching.
"I'm waving them down now," she said. "Oh, my God."
The woman asked the dispatcher: "Should I stay with him and touch him?"
On Thursday, Rouch remained unconscious at Bayfront Medical Center in St. Petersburg.
A court appearance was postponed because of her condition. That appearance is tentatively set for Monday.
Times staff writers Katie Sanders and Douglas Clifford contributed to this report.

The lovely and talented Christina sent us this thrilling date night for THIS big anticipated weekend. Many of you have probably already seen the new Twilight, Breaking Dawn movie. But for those of you who don't rush the crowds and want to make a date night out of it… THIS is for you!
First, Christina hit the Halloween sales to find some clearance glow in the dark fangs and then made a note that said, "Fangs" for being mine! You can print that awesome-ness out below! She then put this in her hubby's car on the morning of their date as an official invite!
They went to the show and because they have small kids who needed to be in bed, took the rest of their date night home with them. (BTW if you're not into Twilight or can't get your sweetie to go see it with you, you could rent a different vampire movie or watch episodes of one of the vampire TV shows at home.)
While she put the kiddos in bed, he went and got Brazilian take out for dinner. Some of you may ask why Brazilian?? Because Bella and Edward went on their honeymoon to Brazil! …..and because it is delicious food! She also made this yummy Brazilian dessert to share after they had eaten. You could also play the Twilight soundtracks as background music for dinner too.
Since Bella and Edward get married and go on their honeymoon in this movie, it was perfect to bring out something lacy and remind your husband of your own honeymoon. Another fun thing you could incorporate is Bath & Body Works "Twilight Woods" fragrances. They have body lotion, shower gels and candles. The shower gel would make a fun steamy shower for two or the body lotion would make for some relaxing back rubs! If you're really adventurous their is a popular scene in the book/movie involving a feather pillow. Pillow fight anyone? LOL
A big thanks to Christina for this great date night idea!

Scoping nylon 66
November 23, 2010, 05:27 AM
I have been told that Nylon 66s can and cannot be scoped. Have any of you had any experiences with this? Thanks in advance. mathcarver
November 23, 2010, 08:39 AM
Can be scoped, but "receiver cover" can move around affecting accuracy.
November 23, 2010, 10:37 AM
I have an old Weaver K4 on mine. The POI changes a bit between range sessions. Once adjusted it stays on target pretty well until the next time out. That said, it does better with the scope than with the irons and these old eyes of mine.
November 23, 2010, 10:38 AM
A pistol scope mounted on barrel, like a Burris Scout Scope mount.

November 23, 2010, 11:47 AM
The receiver cover is grooved for the standard .22 base(s); in my limited experience, the cover doesn't move and the scope sighting remains stable.
November 23, 2010, 12:57 PM
Yes, the receiver cover has standard 3/8" groove. This is for "tip-off" dovetail scope mounts.
The barrel wags around on Nylon 66s, not the receiver cover, which is held tightly by 2 screws.

Raleigh, N.C. — As he wraps up his second year in office, Gov. Pat McCrory reflected Thursday on what has gone right in 2014 and where the state and his administration can make improvements going forward.
McCrory was quick to praise his cabinet and state lawmakers for improvements in education, energy and the economy.
"We had one of the largest drops in unemployment in the nation," he said, noting "we're not even in the top 30 anymore" in terms of the jobless rate.
On the energy front, natural gas drilling is close to reality in the state, and he's now working with President Barack Obama's administration to accelerate offshore drilling as well. He heads a group of governors that lobbied U.S. Interior Secretary Sally Jewell to allow testing to determine what oil and gas deposits sit under the seabed off the state's coast
"I promised we'd get into the energy business, and we're finally at the first step after being on the sideline for 25 years," he said.
McCrory said he's frustrated with the lack of a consolidated health care system and with what he calls the unknowns of the Affordable Care Act. He said he wants the state, not the federal government, to take the lead.
"I'm going to come up with a North Carolina plan, not a D.C. plan," he said, adding that his proposal could include expanding the Medicaid health insurance program for the poor and disabled.
The General Assembly's decision last year not to expand Medicaid to some 500,000 people as allowed under the federal health care law brought heated criticism of the governor and state lawmakers. It's something McCrory now appears to want to change in concert with the House and the Senate.
McCrory also wants to create a new cabinet level department of information technology to literally connect state government statewide and reduce duplication and costs. He is already talking with legislative leaders about it.
"I think we've really gotten off on the right foot. I've already had several conversations with talks with (Senate President Pro Tem) Phil Berger," he said.
"I think, like last time, we're going to agree on about 80 percent of things," he said. "I won't be afraid to fight my own party."

The winner of CSA 2 was already decided before today's race. Ulrich Rohde's Swan 53, Dragon Fly Plus had an unassailable lead but that didn't stop Ross Applebey's Oyster 48, Scarlet Oyster from going for it today with Yachting World Editor, David Glenn on board.
The vintage Oyster corrected out to win by just 25 seconds from Christian Reynolds, Swan 51, Northern Child, posting their best result of the regatta. In today's race Andy Middleton's First 47.7 came third. Chris Brand's Swan 53, Merel Four could only manage a sixth today but the team from the Royal Thames Yacht Club maintained their position as third overall.
In CSA 3, Richard's Wesslund's J/120, El Ocaso made it a perfect seven with their win today. Boat Captain, Mike Caldwell spoke dockside after racing: 'It may look like we ran away with the victory but many of the races were won by a few seconds. Every single member of the El Ocaso team has made a significant contribution, we all had our moments when the bow, the trim, the driver all needed to step up and be counted and that is what they did and I am very proud of them. We have been partying together all week and I am sure we will enjoy the English Harbour rum tonight!'
Second place in the class went to Nick Burn's First 40, Lancelot II. His Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club team have been battling all week with Maurio Martinez's Brazilian team racing First 40, Smile and Wave.
In CSA 4, Calvin Reed's First 40.7, Elandra won the last race of the series by a significant margin to win Class for the second year in a row. Sir Hugh Bailey's Beneteau 456, Hugo B was second today. The team from Falmouth, Antigua have shown incredible consistency. Throughout the week, Hugo B has only been off the podium on one occasion and that was a fourth. However, Elandra has been unstoppable and the team are class winners in consecutive regattas. Jonty Layfield's J/39, Sleeper was third overall.
In CSA 5, Geoffrey Pidduck's Six Metre, Biwi Magic came out on top in the last race of the series to win the class: 'The decisive moment today was the start. Blue Peter was lee-bowing High Tide and I was taking the lee-bow off Blue Peter, but because we can point much higher than both of them, Biwi Magic got right over the top of them and we made the top mark first. High Tide should have caught up downwind but they chose to go inshore and got caught up in traffic, whilst we stayed in clear air pointing directly at the mark and that as that really. It has been a fantastic week of racing but I have to say I was kicking myself yesterday when I rounded a mark the wrong way and had to go back, we could have thrown away the win there and then. It is great to win and I am sure I will be enjoying an English Harbour rum very shortly at the Antigua Yacht Club.'
Steve Carson, owner of runner up High Tide was in good spirits despite losing out on the last race. 'I helped build that boat (Biwi Magic) before it crossed the Atlantic and I suppose it has come back to bight me!' quipped Carson.
In CSA 6, Resting Goose were already secure of the class win before today's race. Owner David Chatterton talked about his experience at Antigua Sailing Week: ' It has just been fantastic, well organized, friendly, a real joy to be here and we are delighted with our win. We are just a bunch of boys from the East Coast of England, here to have some fun and all of the yachts in our class have been a delight to sail against and party with. It has been a very special week, a big thank you to everybody involved in Antigua Sailing Week.'
In today's race, Vince White's O'Day 35, Seal saved the best to last, winning their first race of the series but a country mile. Beneteau Oceanis 473, Ormeau was second with Philip Eynon's prestine Swan 36, Arc Angel third.
In the Bareboat Class, three yachts from KH+P had a tremendous battle, as they have done all week. Alexander Pfeiffer's L'Oiseau des Iles won today's race putting pressure on class leader, Horst Schultze's Sea You Later. However Sea You Later corrected out to take second place in the last race by a solitary second from Andreas Kadelbach's Cayenne. After a six race series, Sea You Later won the class by the narrowest of margins.
In Bareboat 2, KH+P Sapphire Dancer took a convincing victory. In second place was Stewart Reed's Dilligaff. No doubt Stewart and his team from the UK will be celebrating the skipper's 50th birthday in fine style tonight. The Swiss Team Carondimonio racing Balaou were third.
Tonight the legendary Antigua Sailing Week Final Awards Party will take place on the water side of the Copper and Lumber Store in the historic setting of Nelson's Dockyard. Once the silverware has been distributed the dancing will begin. The whole place will be jumping to live music from Rico and the 4 Play Band and music from Choice FM and Grown n' Sexy featuring Dave VJ.

Wow, that's good – me
Recently, Rodda sent me an amazingly luxurious recipe for Beef Stroganoff, which uses their famous Clotted Cream to create a rich sauce.
As I'm vegetarian and Mark has an allergy to mushrooms, I decided to make a few tweaks to the recipe and try it for myself.
This Quorn Stroganoff with courgettes and clotted cream is a beautiful dish with a gently spicy, flavourful and intensely cream sauce.
It takes about 30 minutes to prepare and serves 4. Here's what to do.
- 150g courgette, peeled and cubed
- 500g Quorn pieces
- 100ml vegetable oil
- 100g unsalted butter
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, grated
- 2 tbsp sweet paprika
- 50ml brandy (you could use white wine or madeira)
- 100ml vegetable stock
- 1 bunch of chives, finely chopped
- 50g gherkins, cut into batons
- 200g Rodda's Cornish clotted cream
- Heat a large frying pan and add the vegetable oil, when hot add the beef in batches, turning until browned on all sides but still rare in the centre.
- Remove the meat to a bowl, then add the courgette to the pan along with 30g of the butter. Cook until softened, then add the courgettes to the Quorn in the bowl.
- Turn the heat to medium and add the remaining butter followed by the onion and garlic. Sweat this mix down until fully softened but without any colour. This should take around 5 minutes.
- Add the paprika and cook for a further minute before turning up the heat and adding the brandy. Be careful, this may flame and evaporate some of the alcohol.
- Once the flames have gone out add the stock and bring back to the boil.
- Add the clotted cream and stir. Put the Quorn and courgettes back into the sauce and check for seasoning.
- Sprinkle the chopped chives and gherkins over the top (I left them out), then serve over tagliatelle, steamed rice or mashed potato.
So that was my vegetarian version. Check out this video to see Neil Haydock, Executive Chef at Watergate Bay Hotel in Cornwall, demonstrate how to make this as a Beef Stroganoff with Rodda's Clotted Cream.
Disclosure: we were sent a selection of Roddas products and the beef recipe to cook with. No payment was received for this post. All posts are 100% honest.

Even if you explicitly specify the name for a file, ASM will actually creates the filename with OMF standard and explicit name will be just alias for that file.
Wanted to get opinions on what dbas prefer: let asm handle naming or explicitly name your datafiles? +DATA/orcl/datafile/products.133.84672930 or +DATA/orcl/datafile/products01.dbf Reasons? Ease of maintenance, backup/recover, etc?
So no need specify the name.

Online Sale Alert! Back To School Basics at Gap
Coincidentally, two Fab girls went to the Gap after work on the same evening last week. But they went separately, looking for different items. They didn't run into each other in the store but the style stars must have been aligned. What one of them did find was the sale section, filled with back to school basics.
Take this Flutter-sleeve top ($35, originally $50). Wouldn't this look great with a pair of skinnies and funky sandals while it's still warm? On the flip side, layer it over a thermal under a tweed blazer when it gets chilly. Basics, redone.

Moore: After a long summer on the sidelines, Tony Romo finally gets back on the field for Dallas Cowboys
OXNARD, Calif. — Tony Romo has spoken about the expectations that go with the richest contract in Cowboys history.
He has answered questions about his back, the "Peyton Manning type time" the owner wants him to log and the increased voice he's been given in the team's offense.
These topics have consumed the quarterback's off-season. On Sunday evening, he finally got to address a topic that excites him.
Romo went through his first organized practice with the team in seven months.
"I feel good," Romo said. "Honestly, the smell of the grass, just being out on the football field is a great feeling. You never want to take that for granted. It can end at any moment.
"I'm just glad I was able to come back and get out here to play the game I love."
It did not rank among the crispest performances of his practice career. At one stage of team drills, the quarterback had completed just two of six passes with an interception.
But Romo moved well throughout the day and seemed to find his rhythm as practice progressed.
"I think he did great today," offensive coordinator Bill Callahan said. "As he came into the huddle, I thought he had absolute control of all the mechanics, all the calls, the communication was great.
"I thought he came in and functioned real well."
What about a player's perspective?
"He looked smooth," cornerback Morris Claiborne said. "He looked good. It doesn't look like he ever left.
"Same guy."
Romo had a cyst removed from his back in the spring and was held out of the team's organized team activities and minicamp. His objective was to cram an off-season of conditioning in the four weeks leading up to training camp.
It wasn't easy. Romo has always been one to throw between 300 to 345 days a year because he felt he was falling behind if he didn't.
"Every day I missed, I felt like I needed seven straight days to get that day back," Romo said. "I don't know that you can ever get that day back.
"Saying that, I did everything I could to get myself ready to go and to help this football team take the next step."
That included conditioning in the mountains of Southern California. He spent roughly 10 days in an intensive program to get ready for camp.
"There are a couple of people I know who do that stuff up in the mountains," said Romo, who preferred not to divulge where he worked out. "It was a great trip, really. I just went up there for a week, week-and-a-half and did some of the mountain running, and we had kind of a boot camp.
"I recommend it, but not for as long maybe. It was great. It just got me where I needed to be."
That is what owner Jerry Jones meant the other day when he said Romo was uniquely running mountains in the West.
"I thought Tony did a really good job of coming off his procedure that he had in the spring with his back," coach Jason Garrett said. "The first thing he needed to do was get himself in shape.
"It's a hard thing to do when you come off a back injury because you've got to be, almost by definition, a little bit immobile. I think Tony did a really good job of working hard the last six weeks or so to get himself in shape."
Romo is listed at 236 pounds on the rosters distributed at camp. That's six pounds heavier than last season. But those weights were gathered before Romo's boot camp.
Garrett said the quarterback is only a pound over his prescribed playing weight. Romo said he's between the 227 and 230 pounds he's always carried into camp.
Romo said his back is still a bit sore at times but there is no reason for concern. He said he has experienced no setbacks and will diligently monitor his status.
"It was great today," Romo said. " It was a great start."

By adding a comment on the site, you accept our terms and conditions.
Jay Bouwmeester's four-season stay at the Saddledome ended with Tuesday's brief media availability in the entranceway to the Avison Young Club.
And no playoff games.
Not exactly what the big-minute, big-ticket blueliner had in mind when he signed a five-year, US$33.4-million deal with the Calgary Flames just hours before becoming an unrestricted free agent in 2009.
"Any time you're standing here doing this, it's probably because things didn't quite go how you would have planned," said Bouwmeester, chatting with Calgary's sports media one more time after Monday's trade to the St. Louis Blues.
"When I first came here, there was a lot of optimism and I was super excited to be here and everything looked great going forward.
"You know, things change. It could have been a lot better. Having said that, there are up and downs everywhere. I enjoyed playing here. It's a great place to play.
"It's a bittersweet sort of thing."
As Bon Jovi's trucks rolled into the Saddledome for Tuesday's show, J-Bo rolled out.
Considered the top defenceman available prior to Wednesday's deadline, the 29-year-old waived his no-trade clause and was shipped Monday to St. Louis in exchange for minor-league rearguard Mark Cundari, Swiss goaltender Reto Berra and a first-round pick. If the Blues miss the playoffs this season, the Flames won't receive the first-rounder until next summer but will add a fourth-rounder to their loot bag.
Bouwmeester was wearing an 'A' on his sweater, logging a team-high 25:09 per game and had collected six goals and nine assists in 33 outings with the Flames before being traded about an hour before Monday's 4-1 road loss to the Edmonton Oilers at Rexall Place. He was on the charter flight back to Calgary with the rest of the team and is now waiting for a work visa before jetting off to join the Blues.
"We have a great group of guys and I've been in situations like this where it just doesn't work out and they start moving guys, and it's a terrible feeling because you care about those guys," Bouwmeester said. "I was lucky last night, I got to fly back with everyone and say goodbye, and a lot of times you don't get to do that. I wish everyone here the best of luck."
The feeling, to be sure, is mutual.
With Bouwmeester and longtime captain Jarome Iginla already traded away and others in limbo as Wednesday's 1 p.m. trade deadline approaches, it's clear the Flames are in the early stages of a substantial rebuild.
That's a stark contrast to the situation when Bouwmeester signed in Calgary, telling reporters at his introductory press conference: "The attitude here is not just to try and make the playoffs, it's to try and win a championship. That's all you can ask for."
That, it urns out, was asking too much.
Instead, the soft-spoken defenceman has now skated in an NHL-record 750 regular-season games without a single spring appearance.
That dubious streak wasn't going to end in Calgary this year.
There's no guarantee it will end in St. Louis, either, but the addition of Bouwmeester gives the Blues an immediate boost on the back-end. Bouwmeester is expected to be paired with Alex Pietrangelo on the top defensive pairing at Scottrade Center.
Heading into Tuesday's action, the Blues are in eighth spot in the Western Conference standings.
"Anytime you're going into something new or a fresh start, it is exciting," Bouwmeester said. "They have a good young team, but they're not out of the clear. I know when you go there, you've got some work to do.
"I talked to a couple of people from their team (Monday night) and they're happy and all that, but it doesn't change much. We've got a job to do and you get right at it."

Shearer lays out Labour's housing strategy
Labour leader David Shearer is promising the biggest house building programme in 50 years to put 100,000 families into new affordable homes within 10 years.
Shearer announced the flagship policy in his keynote address to the Labour conference in Auckland today, where he was introduced by his wife Anushka.
"This will also boost our stagnating economy and create the decent well-paid jobs we need. It's time for action," Shearer said about the housing plan.
He said the policy was not about big government but a smart, active government using the levers available to it.
"We will also deal with poor quality rental housing by requiring landlords to bring their properties up to minimum standards in terms of insulation and efficient heating. I won't stand by watch families and particularly children live in cold damp and mouldy homes where their heal and future suffers."
The building programme, labelled Kiwibuild, would aim at building 10,000 houses a year by the end of Labour's first term in office.
Labour estimates it will generate $2b in economic growth and provide apprenticeships for 2000 workers.
Shearer said the government would use its low cost of borrowing and economies of scale from building in bulk to drive down the cost of building the houses.
He also planned to put a $1.5b kick start into the programme.
"This represents a fraction of the $41b National has borrowed over four years and is substantially less than the $12b National has committed to the roads of national significance."
Because it was funded from capital expenditure it would not affect the path back to surplus, Shearer said.
Housing Affordability Bonds would be offered to investors to help fund the plan.
The building programme would be overseen by Housing NZ (HNZC) but be undertaken by private builders. Much of the land would come from HNZC buying new land or building on existing developments.
The houses would be set at a price to cover the Government's costs and would not be sold at a loss.
They would be restricted to first home buyers and buyers would have to live in them for a set time yet to be determined. A penalty would apply if they were sold early.
Shearer is moving to put his leadership to a caucus vote as early as next week in an attempt to end speculation about his position and draw out challenger David Cunliffe.
Shearer's lieutenants were today meeting to consider ways a vote could be taken early under caucus rules.
That would likely not replace the scheduled vote in February at which only 40 per cent of the caucus could trigger a run-off according to new uses approved by the Labour conference yesterday.
But if the caucus gave him a strong endorsement, possibly in a vote that was made public, that could make the February vote more of a formality. No caucus meeting has been scheduled for Tuesday, but an urgent one may be called.
There are also rules that require at last a week's notice of a leadership ballot, but that may not be needed to simply endorse Shearer.
It is understood if Shearer wins the backing of caucus he will move quickly to demote Cunliffe.
One of his allies said Shearer had had "a guts full" of being undermined and he was planning to challenge Cunliffe to "either put up or shut up".

I was sent this early this morning and I'm so happy with it!
Follow the link to head to the actual review: http://www.examiner.com/x-5465-San-D...Nicole-Gestalt
Review not intended for people under 18 due to graphic sexual situations and wax used in a nature not common.
This is part of Phaze Books Heatsheet series a 15,000 word novella. It is rated as an exclusive pairing with BDSM elements.
While reading many erotica stories over the years, BDSM always has been for me, just part of the story in some of the more extreme works. But lately after reading and writing reviews I am realizing I am still a newbie when it comes to the actual scene. This book opens up with Ruby and Dalton doing wax play that is described in such loving detail.
Personally the idea of anything hot near anything on my body freaks me out!
Dalton is the Dom who is in control of his emotions when needed, which is what pulls Ruby to him, though she has never done anything like this before. There is an instant connection, and it stays that way. It really touched me, because this story, for me, was not so much to titillate as it was a love story between a Dom and his Sub.
The story touched me. The whole story from beginning to end feels like one big scene of foreplay between the two characters and the big payoff scene was intense.
Bottom line, this is a recommended read for those who love a good love story. While I dont understand how a person can get off on hot wax, that doesnt matter. The story and what it conveys to the reader is what counts. Dont let this one pass you by.
For more information: You can find Nicole Gestalt here. Purchase her book here.
Wax is always going to be a difficult subject but I love the review and I hope you all do to.

Batches of a drug used in Ireland to treat epilepsy seizures are being recalled from pharmacies as a precautionary measure, the Health Products Regulatory Authority has confirmed.
The recall concerns Buccolam Oromucosal Solution, a prescription-only medicine administered in the side of the mouth in pre-filled syringes to children and adults.
The makers ViroPharma SPRL have issued batch numbers for the products concerned.
The precautionary move follows a routine inspection of the company's manufacturing site in the UK, which identified the possibility for chemical contamination.
However, no evidence of contamination has been identified within Buccolam Oromucosal Solution on the market.
Pharmacists are being asked to quarantine any of the batches listed.
The HPRA, formerly the Irish Medicines Board, said that no safety or quality issues have been identified in any of the batches released onto the market and that the recall only applies to packs at pharmacy level.
It said that patients do not have to return packs to their pharmacy and can continue taking their medicine.
