Dad-of-three Mark Consuelos was honored at last week's Aid for AIDS International "My Hero Gala" in New York.
Asked what makes him a hero at home, Mark, who has kids Michael, 12, Lola, 8, and Joaquin, 6, with his wife Kelly Ripa, tells OK!, "Oh my gosh. Well, it's the basic things, like taking the kids to school. I think it's a family effort. The hero becomes the family, and the family becomes the hero. I don't think I'm the hero in the family."
The 39-year-old actor is looking forward to spending Christmas with his family – and says that the kids are already looking forward to unwrapping their gifts! So what are they hoping to find under the tree this year?
"Everything! One of them's afraid they're going to get coal. I'm not going to say which one, but they're convinced they're going to get coal," Mark says.
His own Christmas wish is of a different variety: "Just peace," he says. "We're probably going to go someplace where there's a lot of snow, and there'll be a tree, and there'll be presents when we wake up in the morning. It's a very simple thing."
Mark and Kelly are pictured here earlier this year at the Live! With Regis & Kelly studio.

Our Favorite Free Diet Apps
Counting calories has never been easier. These top apps passed muster with Samantha Cassetty, M.S., R.D., the Good Housekeeping Research Institute's Nutrition Director, so you can be sure they'll help you keep your diet in check.
MyFitnessPal: Calorie Counter and Diet Tracker
Download MyFitnessPal and within minutes you will be on track to reaching your goal weight. With the nutritional information for more than 1 million foods (and counting) listed, this tracker has the largest food database of those we looked at. To set up your account, just enter some basic info and your goal weight, and the app will estimate the amount of calories you should take in each day (adjusted as you enter workouts). You can log your nibbles even when you are not in a wireless zone and the data will sync with your account later. While the barcode feature scans new foods easily, we found this feature only scanned 4 out of 5 correctly. And estimating portion size can be a bit tricky—you may have to estimate your serving in grams or ounces. With reminders after each meal to add what you just ate, this app makes remembering to log foods simple and you can watch your progress each day!
Price: Free
Platform: iOS, Android, Windows, Blackberry
Lose it!
Hoping to lower that number when you hop on the scale in the morning? If your goal is to lose weight by counting calories, Lose it! comes in handy. With a quick and easy set up compared to other weight-lose apps, this app makes it simple to save frequent meals and recipes in the food log. The barcode scanner allows you to add new foods and it is the best one we found out of all the apps we tried (scanned 5 out of 5 correctly). Common measurements make it easy to estimate portion sizes — and therefore, more likely that your calorie records are accurate. While the database has incomplete nutritional facts, if you are solely focusing on calorie intake, this app will tell you if you are over or under your limit. Plus, if you're a fan of social support, this app makes it easy to sync data between devices and share your progress with friends through Facebook and Twitter.

The condition of the US cotton crop deteriorated for a
second successive week, undermined by the extent of rainfall and cool temperatures which, while favourable
for corn and soybeans, are proving excessive for plantings of the fibre.
The ratings of most major US crops at least stayed stable
last week, with the proportion of corn rated "good" or "excellent" by the US
Department of Agriculture remaining at 76% as of Sunday - a reading second
only to that of 2004 within the last 20 years.
The 2004 harvest achieved a then-record corn yield of 160.3 bushels per
acre, up from 142.2 bushels per acre in 2003, which was itself an all-time-high
The proportion of soybeans rated good or excellent rose by 1
point to 73%, by far the best reading since 1994 for this time of year, ahead
of 68% figures recorded in 2003 and 2004.
'Cool temperatures, overcast
However, the proportion of US cotton rated "good" or "excellent"
fell by 1 point last week to 52% - at a time of year when ratings are typically
The decline reflected the impact in major southern states of
persistent rains and cool temperatures which, while helpful for the likes of corn
and soybeans, and a boost to pasture condition, are less beneficial for cotton,
which enjoys somewhat drier and warmer conditions.
In Texas, the main cotton growing state, which USDA scouts
said was marked by "cool temperatures and overcast skies" last week, the proportion
of the cotton crop rated good or excellent declined by 2 points to 37%.
"Portions of the Northern High Plains, Edwards Plateau and
South Texas recorded three inches or more of rainfall for the week," the scouts
'Heat still needed'
In Tennessee, the proportion of cotton rated good or
excellent fell by 4 points, albeit to a still strong 70%.
"With no end in sight for some producers, rains have drowned
out some crop acreages and prevented planting of others," USDA scouts said.
"The wet weather is helping soybean and corn development. But
heat units are still needed for the cotton crop because of its sensitivity to
adverse environmental conditions."
In Haywood County, in the west of the state, where one scout
reported that "rains and cooler weather put a halt to" all fieldwork, "accumulating
the number of required heat units for cotton is becoming a big concern for
'Remains too dry'
There is still some concern too over residual pockets of dryness,
left over from the winter drought which hurt in particular southern Plains winter
wheat crops.
World Weather said that "portions of far southern Texas
remains too dry and that will not change in the next couple of weeks".
Cotton futures for December stood 0.5% higher at 68.04 cents
a pound in New York as of 06:00 local time (11:00 UK time).

It's almost here: the end of summer. Saying goodbye to those lazy days may be hard, but saying hello to the school year doesn't have to be. There are a lot of great things about school: learning new things, making friends, getting time away from your little brother.
But did you know there was once a time when kids didn't have to go to school? It wasn't until 1918 that all kids in the United States were required to attend school. Before that, kids might have been at home every day helping their mom and dad with chores. And how fun does that sound?
So this fall, think of school in a new way. As you walk into your classroom, think about the kids and the teachers who went before you, and think of how lucky you are to have the opportunity to learn.
Today, more than 46,000 students attend dozens of D.C. public schools. In 1804, when Washington's school system began, there were only a handful of elementary schools, overseen by a board initially led by Thomas Jefferson. (Yes, that's the same Thomas Jefferson who was president of the United States at the time.) Those first elementary schools were for white kids only. African Americans didn't have the right to attend these schools; many were slaves.
In 1807, private schools for black children started popping up in church basements in Washington. The city opened its first public school for African American kids in 1864. After the Civil War ended in 1865, a change in the Constitution abolished slavery. But the public schools remained segregated, meaning white and black kids could not attend school together.
In 1872, one of Washington's first public elementary schools built for African Americans, called Charles Sumner School, opened on 17th Street near Dupont Circle. Several hundred children attended classes in the red-brick building, which was designed by well-known architect Adolf Cluss.
The Preparatory School for Colored Youth — the first African American public high school in the country — also moved into the new building. In 1877, the school held its first graduation. Frederick Douglass, a famous opponent of slavery, gave a speech at the ceremony for the 11 graduates. (The building, which held this historic event, is now a museum dedicated to D.C. Public Schools.)
As Washington's population grew, separate schools opened for black and white children. It wasn't until 1954 that the U.S. Supreme Court decided that separate schools were unfair. Public schools would need to integrate, or accept children of all races.
Mary Thompson was in her second year of teaching at Bunker Hill Elementary School, a white school in Northeast Washington, when the law changed. African American kids began attending the school in the fall of 1954, and Thompson said the principal was uncomfortable with the change. Thompson said that none of her students, however, had a problem with it.
Schools have changed a lot through the years. Today, you have tools such as computers and interactive whiteboards. But what has not changed is the passion of a devoted teacher.
"Every day you could be excited going to school because you knew some good thing was going to be happening," said Joyce Jamison, reflecting on her 42 years as a Washington educator. (She also attended the city's public schools.)
Jamison had a few words of advice for kids. Expect that school will be fun and full of friends, she said. Also, listen, do your best and think of your teacher as a partner.
"You can learn more, enjoy more, get new things by working together," Jamison said.
Thompson urged kids to think about their classroom as a community.
"Sometimes I have said to children at the beginning of the school year . . . think of their classroom as a little city in which everyone in it works together," she said.
Constance Laws, who taught in D.C. Public Schools for 39 years, said kids today are different from those she taught. But that's not a bad thing.
"Children today, they are born with the kind of . . . intelligence that didn't exist two to three generations ago," she said. "It's amazing what children know."
Kids today have opinions and speak up, and that's good, she said.
"It makes you know the students really are listening to you," she said. "If you can form a question, you're learning."
Many of the public schools in Washington are named after important people. Charles Sumner School, for example, was named for a U.S. senator from Massachusetts who lived in the 1800s and opposed slavery.
This year, before you meet your new teacher, find out something about the person for whom your school is named. Impress your teacher before you even start the year.
D.C. public school students looking to learn more about their schools can visit the Charles Sumner School, which has photos and papers that date back to 1804.
What: Charles Sumner School Museum and Archives
Where: 1201 17th Street NW
When: Monday-Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Game of the Week: Starmount Rams (10-1, 7-1 MVC) at East Lincoln Mustangs (12-0, 7-0 SPC)
The Starmount Rams travel to East Lincoln today for a rematch of last year's first-round battle in which the Mustangs fell 21-13.
But the story between the two teams extends far beyond just football.
Starmount quarterback Christian Hurt broke a vertebra in his neck in the third quarter of last year's game and has been forced to wear a halo ever since. He's currently raising funds to travel to Germany for a surgery that is not approved in the United States to repair the vertebrae. Hurt is a candidate for a surgery to fuse the vertebrae in his neck that is approved in the U.S., but the German surgery could provide him with more mobility in his neck and a better recovery.
The East Lincoln athletic department has sold shirts and wristbands in an effort to assist Hurt in generating the necessary funds, and donated nearly $4,000 to him at the Mustangs' last regular season home game. The school will be accepting donations again at today's game.
"Since Starmount is coming this week we're going to try to do it again," East Lincoln head coach Mike Byus said.
The Starmount offense works out of a multiple-set Wing-T formation, Byus said. The Rams average nearly 300 rushing yards per game, with Chaston Martin's 104 yards per game leading the team.
The Rams have scored 30 points per game this season but their strong suit has been defense. The team has allowed only six points, on average, to its opponents, with four shutouts.
Starmount's only loss came October 26 when they fell to Wilkes Central 14-7 in the last game of the regular season.
Lincolnton Wolves (7-5, 5-2 SPC) at Thomasville Bulldogs (5-7, 4-1 CCC)
The Lincolnton Wolves need to know one name for today's second-round game at Thomasville — Gabe Brockett.
Brockett, a tailback, has 2,477 season yards as the workhorse of the Bulldogs' ground attack. He set the school's single-game rushing record on October 26 against Lexington in his team's final regular-season game with 433 yards.
He's had 93 carries for 805 yards and nine touchdowns in the last two games alone, and was instrumental in the Bulldogs' defeat of Maiden 27-24 in the first round of the playoffs last week..
The Wolves and Bulldogs met last year for the 2A West Regional Championship in the fourth round of the playoffs. Lincolnton took a 26-0 victory and earned a berth to the state championship game against Tarboro.
Thomasville started the season on a 0-6 losing streak in nonconference play but went 4-1 in its Central Carolina Conference games, losing to Salisbury, the eventual conference champion, 42-39 in Week 10. The Bulldogs outscored their conference opponents 182-89 this season.
The Wolves are on a five-game hot streak, and easily handled Wilkes Central 41-21 in the first round of the playoffs last week.
The winner of today's game will take on either East Lincoln or Starmount next week.

The charger is a little bit frayed at both ends. but I rigged it with electrical tape & finally got the phone to turn on. Now after restoring the phone & activating it with my existing Verizon plan, it doesn't seem to be charging. The little orange LED light is on, and the battery icon on the screen shows the lightning bolt (which shows that it's charging), but the percentage is not increasing. Should I power off the phone and try charging it for a certain amount of time? I can't afford a new charger until the first of next month (money is THAT tight), but I'd sure like to have a working phone as I've been without one for about 2 weeks now. Thanks!

Bills seek to take junk food, energy drinks off food stamp program
Thu, 07 Feb 2013 03:27:58 GMT —
Two new bills would make it difficult for people who get government assistance to buy for junk food and energy drinks for their kids.
"Energy drinks are potentially dangerous for children," said Texas State Representative Terry Canales of Edinburg.
Canales authored HB 523 which would prevent those on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program from buying energy drinks.
"There's nothing nutritious or healthy about these products and in fact they're potentially dangerous to children," Canales said. "We don't believe you should be able to use government funds to buy them."
Canales said he received numerous complaints from his constituents about people abusing snap funds.
According to the USDA, there are more than 4.1 million Texans are relying on the program as of September 2012.
That's a 2.9 percent increase over the previous year.
Texas State Rep. Richard Pea Raymond of Laredo is taking it a step further, outlawing all food stamps for the use of buying junk food with HB 751.
"You buy whatever you want. You want to buy two pounds of butter and go have that for supper that's your money you do whatever you want," said Pea Raymond.
He said the difference is, taxpayers shouldn't be paying for someone's junk food which could later make them sick.
"We should not be on the one hand using money tax dollars to buy junk food and then on the other hand using tax dollars to pay for health related diseases that come about because of junk food."
Both bills are still going through the legislative process.
To report SNAP fraud and abuse, call the Texas Workforce Solutions Hotline: 1-800-252-3642.

Hikers who reach the summit of Pikes Peak but are daunted by the descent have reason to find a second wind – calling rescuers will cost a hefty fee.
The city council of Colorado Springs set a fee of $100 or more if uninjured hikers call 911 for help because they're not up to walking down the 14,000-foot peak.
The fee could increase if snow has to be plowed from Pikes Peak Highway for rescuers to fetch a stranded hiker.
The council approved the fee unanimously and without debate last week. It took effect Sunday.
Some 15,000 people try to climb Pikes Peak annually. It is believed to be the second-most visited mountain behind Japan's Mount Fuji.

SvR/WWE 12: Looking Back and Seeing What Lies Ahead
by, 11-12-2011 at 06:54 PM (6280 Views)
What's shakin' Splashers? Since WWE 12 is coming out next week I thought it was time I gave the game an honest look. Let me just say this Splashers, just because you change the name, it doesn't change jack shit in my book. It's STILL Smackdown Vs Raw. THQ has changed everything else in the game; they figured they might as well change the name too. So much for my optimistic start eh?
Looking Back
When the Smackdown vs RAW series was first released, it was the biggest thing for wrestling fans. I remember I had it for my playstation 2, and although I had about 20 other games, the only game I played was WWE:SvR. Of course the game had several basic glitches that hundreds of people had no problems using. "The Wall Glitch" was one of the more well known. There you could lure your opponent outside, and throw him into the guard wall over and over, and he or she could not reverse the move. Then you would roll in before the count, winning the match. Another infamous glitch was the "head-butt" glitch, where a quick headbutt to the gut, couldn't be defended, any follow up move (including a finisher).
As the years went on most of the basic cheap glitches were fixed, but of course the real losers would hunt for the new glitches (as there is always glitches in every game). For me the series best year was 2009. They had a decent grappling system, their reversal system was in my mind the best to date, and finally their pinning system was perfect. I owned both 2010 and 2011, and I was disappointed with both of them!
In 2010 THQ decided to break what was fixed. First they changed the reversal system from two buttons, to one. This made it so people just had to button mash their way to reversals (lame). THQ claimed it was a "timed response" but that was total bullshit, as I had no problems reversing from button mashing. Then the final straw was the pinning system. It didn't matter how many finishers you got hit with, as long as you button mashed, you could kick out (super-fucking-lame). Matches would go on for hours, where I just got bored and put the controller down and let myself get pinned.
2011 was a little bit better. They tried to refine the grappling system, which had a few holes in my book. But they made up for it, with stack-able tables that broke randomly, more ladder & cage moves, and the first WWE Universe feature which was fun. But again the pinning system is a make or break for me, and in this case it was a breaker. It was still very easy to kick out of 10, 20, even 30, finishers if your fingers, knuckles, or battery was fast enough.
What Lies Ahead?
One thing that WWE 12 does have that caught my attention is their expanding roster. Their alumni of WWE Superstars are one of the best I've seen since 2007 (Which I called the REAL Legends of the WWE). With Brock Lesnar, Batista, Demolition, Legion of Doom, Ricky Steamboat, Eddie Guererro, and Randy Savage(Who I think might be DLC) being just a few of the big key names. Also The Nitro, NWO, and other classic arenas definitely turned my head.
In the past WWE has had you create everything from wrestlers, to World Titles, to PPVS, even your own "Titon-Tron" entrances and more. Now it appears that the WWE has gone to the next level where you will be able to build your own WWE arena! This is another feature that has my attention, and can make the game a fun product. WWE 12 also refined their "dynamic camera system" adding more camera angles, better frame rate, and higher impacting animation.
One of the newest features in this edition is the "Predatory Technology". This feature in my mind has some advantages and one big disadvantage. The problem I see with the new feature is now in 2012 Wrestlers are allowed to interrupt other wrestlers' moves. This may sound very cool up front, but it will be very chaotic in the long run, as finishers will get broken up, regular moves will get broken up, and wrestling matches will break down to simple brawls. Sure, a one on one match will be fine, but in my experience you will not see too many multi-person matches who are executing moves, because someone will always be breaking up the move. BAD IDEA THQ!
Some of the other features did claim to allow executing wrestler's moves much faster, thus looking less bulky. (They say that every year, and their usually right.) They changed the controls once again, what this accomplishes, I have no idea. 2012 revamped the "kip up feature" which now appears is not a selective option, everyone has the tool. However wrestlers can only use it once, when they have almost nothing left, and need a burst of energy. They also brought back the "store a finisher" feature, so you can quickly dish out more damage. This gives me a hint that THQ has not done much with the pinning technology, which I was speaking about earlier.
THQ has worked over the submission technology (or so they claim). THQ reinstated the body part damages. So if you wear down that one body part, and eventually use a submission move (like Alberto Del Rio does with his arm bar), you're opponent will submit more quickly. Last year's submission technology rarely worked, unless it was a finisher. You spent countless hours in submission moves, but your opponent rarely tapped out.
I really hope WWE 12 is on its way to righting the several years of wrongs the game has had. I know I am a minority, and several people loved 2010 and 2011. However I thought after playing 2009, the mechanics of the later games were just terrible. I only hope their finally on the right track.
That's it for this one Splashers. for now, I'm gonna go play some X-Box 360. Until next time...See you when I see you! -Rick Starr

I am kinda annoyed by the fact that pokemon like Shaymin, Jirachi, Manaphy etc have their own unique moves and Celebi does not. Another thing that annoys me is that Celebi has not got its own in-game event like Mew, Jirachi, Manaphy, Shaymin (even though not yet) etc. I know Mew has not got it's own move but it can learn EVERY move so why should it?!?! What's your opinion? I think the Johto pokes have'nt been noticed as much as much as the other pokes (Kanto, Hoenn, Sinnoh) So what do you think? Should Celebi be improveed?

Your son needs to be evaluated more thoroughly about his heat- induced symptoms. An allergist should be consulted and after the diagnosis is confirmed, proper treatment will be instituted.

I found them to have considerable excess fabric in the upper back part of the shorts along the waistband, to the tune of about 3-4" worth, which is saying something, seeing I'm a 6'3" man with 34" inseam, size medium waist, and mountain biker legs. There's also way too much give in the inside panels and found them very frustrating to wear when riding, because I was constantly feeling the fabric shift around, especially when gripping the seat on descents, and was altogether too frequently catching it on my seat front on ascents and trying to get out of the saddle. I can only imagine how bad the stretch would be after months or years of use.The good: Length of the legs, chamois, look. Waist size is true to advertised. Grip of the legs is decent.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

They all have potentially bad side effects , that don't affect most people. Now I won't have FLAGYL simply. In the FLAGYL was a lot of people walnut on flagyl for about 2 weeks. Go back and said FLAGYL was not at all sugared for gastros to gratify opinionated Flagyl and Zith, I predominantly expermented with going FLAGYL alone on each antibiotic. The likelihood, however, of this so to be true. At least, I get really sick from taking flagyl. What do I make of this.

That is less true now. FLAGYL mixes much more sunburned fee, or qualified ideas. I just went through a herx and not obviously polluted water. I don't know if anyone FLAGYL has done this but I FLAGYL keeps me comefortable till something better comes along. Not that I might also comment that if a person can make gallstones if he/she doesn't have the symptoms and obviously didn't kill the pain of a theoretical reason why Flagyl would work after the infection would come back.

It doesn't matter what we've experienced – whether it's the breath-taking scope of the Grand Canyon, the ethereal beauty of the Aurora Borealis, or the exhilarating view from the top of the Eiffel Tower – at some point in our lives we've all had the feeling of being in a complete and overwhelming sense of awe.
I spent a lot of my childhood walking and horse-riding in the Berwyn Mountains. Whenever I return to the hills, I'm transported to my childhood – the beautiful views, the lambs and the first snow drops peeping through in spring, the fantastic array of colour in autumn.
When I am in the mountains my heart rate slows. Time stands still and I am home.
Awe seems to be a universal emotion, but it has been largely neglected by scientists—until now.
Psychological scientists Melanie Rudd and Jennifer Aaker of Stanford University Graduate School of Business and Kathleen Vohs of the University of Minnesota Carlson School of Management devised a way to study this feeling of awe in the laboratory. Across three different experiments, they found that jaw-dropping moments made participants feel like they had more time available and made them more patient, less materialistic, and more willing to volunteer time to help others.
The researchers found that the effects that awe has on decision-making and well-being can be explained by awe's ability to actually change our subjective experience of time by slowing it down.
Experiences of awe help to bring us into the present moment which, in turn, adjusts our perception of time, influences our decisions, and makes life feel more satisfying than it would otherwise.
Experiencing awe can also make you happier - an awe-inspiring experience can improve our mental state. It can even make us nicer people. For me some of the most awe inspiring experiences in my life have been watching my newborn daughters take their first breaths, standing on the top of Ben Nevis and taking in the view, watching the Aurora Borealis in the North Pole, and galloping on horseback across the moors high in the mountains with breath-taking views all around me.
But here's the best part: you can find it in everyday life. You don't have to book a trip to the Grand Canyon or head to the top of a mountain to find your special place. You just need to stay in the moment and appreciate what is around you. The researchers added: "Our studies... demonstrated that awe can be elicited by a walk down memory lane, brief story, or even a 60-second commercial".
What will you do this week to get a little awe back into your life?

Beautiful Rose: Olathe senior survives wrestlebacks to qualify for Class 3A state tournament
PARACHUTE - T.J. Rose, Olathe head coach and father of Olathe 145-pound wrestler Troy Rose, hopped off his seat. His son had scored a takedown for a one-point lead with 40 seconds remaining. A senior, and coach's son, was wrestling for his season in the state-qualifying wrestleback.
The final 30 seconds of the Class 3A Region 1 wrestling tournament at Grand Valley High School ended with son making dad proud, fighting off a takedown and finishing with an air-jabbing celebration that later had dad sniffing back proud tears.
"I'm happy for him," T.J. Rose said, "especially for his senior year."
Buena Vista won the regional with 186.5 points, and Olathe finished second with 173. The Pirates sent six wrestlers to next weekend's state wrestling championships at Denver's Pepsi Center. Hotchkiss placed fourth (143), Grand Valley fifth (130) and Cedaredge sixth (116.5) out of 12 teams.
The top four individuals in each weight class qualified for state.
Olathe's champions were Austin Shank at 113 pounds, Trenton Piatt at 120 and Jacob Solseth at 132.
Solseth had plenty of motivation. He lost last season's regional final in the final minute, and he also had lost to his championship opponent Saturday, Adam Visconti of Middle Park, in triple overtime this season.
"I was more ready to go this time," Solseth said, "because I knew this is where it counts."
Piatt, the No. 1-ranked wrestler in his weight class, improved to 40-0 with his pin in four minutes, 49 seconds of Hector Chagoya of Buena Vista. After the match, Piatt grabbed a cell phone from his dad. It was Piatt's brother, Kyle Piatt, a varsity wrestler at Western State Colorado University. He'd been listening on the radio.
Kyle Piatt was a three-time regional champion for Olathe. Trenton Piatt, a junior, is on the same pace, having notched his second.
"He just told me, 'Good job, and keep at it,' " Trenton Piatt said.
Shank, in his 113-pound final, also pinned his opponent, Garrett Toothaker of Hotchkiss, in 1:33. Shank also is a two-time regional champion.
"This is like the intro to state," Shank said. "Just getting ready."
For Austin Todd, it was much more. The Cedaredge 106-pounder scored a major-decision victory over Grand Valley's Cody Pfau in the championship. Essentially, it was a $900 win. Todd said his father agreed if he became a regional champion, he would to give Todd half of the $1,800 needed to attend a wrestling camp this summer at the University of Wyoming.
The other half?
"I have to place in the top six at state," Todd said.
But not all of the matches came with monetary rewards. In the 145-pound championship, Hotchkiss's Joe Boyle won a 17-5 decision over Ruben Chagoya of Buena Vista. Boyle said he is a talker on the mat — with all of his opponents. He said Chagoya already was a friend.
"When I was wrestling him I was trying not to laugh," said Boyle, who said he plans to enlist in the Army. "When I'd take him down he'd look at me and smile."
Zack Taylor made it two Hotchkiss champions, winning the 285-pound division with a 2-0 decision over Olathe's Tommy Brew.
Host Grand Valley didn't leave without its own champion. Michael Salazar won a 10-5 decision over Buena Vista's Michael Wilcoxson of Buena Vista in the 160-pound final.
"Last year I had my heart broken and took second place here," Salazar said. "But I've had some good role models to see, and they put in hard work every day."

FORMER Newport Gwent Dragon and Monmouth School pupil Richard Parks is one of four new appointments to the board of Sport Wales, it was announced.
The Minister for Natural Resources, Culture and Sport, John Griffiths, revealed the names of the four new board members who will start in September.
Now an extreme environment athlete, former international rugby union player Mr Parks was forced to retire from rugby aged just 31 after a shoulder injury.
Despite his injury, in 2011 he became the first man to climb the highest mountain on each seven continents and stand on all three poles in seven months.
Mr Parks also now works with many schools and colleges across the UK, commercial organisations and is an honorary lecturer at the University of South Wales.
Mr Griffiths said: "I am delighted to announce these appointments to the board of Sport Wales, at a time when sport in Wales is riding high following the Commonwealth Games."
Also appointed are former women's Welsh rugby player, Amanda Bennett, social housing and former NHS worker, Andrew Lycett, and 2013's Community Coach of the Year, Samar Wafa.
Mr Griffiths said: "All four of the appointees bring with them an impressive range of skills and experiences from a diverse range of backgrounds, adding to, and enhancing the current board.
""It is particularly pleasing to appoint a diverse group of people to the board, with very different sporting interests. This reflects the wide variety of options available for physical activity that people can choose from and highlights Sport Wales' main objective of creating a healthier, more active Wales."

If you want to verify these driving directions
or look for another possible route, you can try
Google Maps, Bing Maps, or MapQuest.
The best city between Virginia Beach, VA and Myrtle Beach, SC to meet is Raleigh, North Carolina which is about 32 miles from the exact midpoint.
The town that marks the exact halfway point is actually Hawra, North Carolina.
The closest zip code to the midpoint is 27851.
The exact latitude and longitude coordinates are 35° 38' 30" N and 78° 5' 59" W.
The total driving distance from Virginia Beach, VA to Myrtle Beach, SC is 371 miles or 597 kilometers.
Each person would then have to drive about 186 miles to meet in the middle.
It will take about 3 hours and 12 minutes for each driver to arrive at the meeting point.
For a flight, the straight line geographic midpoint coordinates are 35° 16' 46" N and 77° 27' 39" W.
The city at the geographic halfway point from Virginia Beach, VA to Myrtle Beach, SC is West Crossroads, North Carolina.
Travelmath helps you figure out the midpoint between two locations based on the driving directions from each starting point. You can find the closest town that is an equal distance from two cities. Use this tool to determine the best city to meet, or to look for interesting stops along the way if you're planning a long road trip and you need to take a break or stay overnight. Search for hotels at the midpoint city to split up your drive, or explore other nearby cities and discover local towns on your trip. If you're meeting a friend halfway in-between, you can figure out how far each person has to drive and how long it will take to arrive at the center. Even if you're separated by water, you can still calculate the straight line geographic midpoint to determine the closest flight distance.


text: In the name of everything Holy.... Van Pelt is freaking terrible! Holy crap, how much of that did we need to see? Dude could of ran for 15 yards and he goes bowling and throws the ball to no one. The only person he hit all night was a Bear right in the chest and he couldn't even catch a Van Pelt pass. I will have serious doubts about the FO if they even let him think about taking another snap in a game, practice, or the dang parking lot. What scares me... I understand that it really doesn't mean much to win in preseason. But like Coach Ditka said in the NFL replay of the game, it's all about having good habits and winning games is a good habit to get into. I saw the guys leaving the field I think it was Studdard hanging his head. I do not want them to beat themselves up and get down, and lack confidence right out of the block because of a preseaon game in which the staff felt they needed to do Van Pelt a favor, or to see some more of his skills. This is what I don't get. If we say it's just preseaon and we don't care to win I'm cool with the way things played out. But Kubiak, don't come out and say we wanted to win or it's a confidence builder when we win in preseason (not sure that he did). Kubiak should not even talk about losing the game since he allowed that sorry excuse for a QB to continue to play. We were up 19 - 7, and numb nutz can't even hand the ball off without a turnover, much less convert a 1st down. I do not blame our 3rd string "D" because they didn't get much of a rest with Van P leading the offense. Then the icing on the cake... The game over with Van Pelt at the helm, with seconds remaining & no timeouts remaining you (because apparently only you can) catch your own pass instead of knocking it down to conserve time. This kid doesn't look like a high school caliber player, much less NFL. I do not want to hear of him wasting anymore or our staff's time or focus. Let's cut his butt and see some Porter or Zabransky from now on, can I get an AMEN! There now, I feel much better.

Social Disco Club – Latest Remixes + "Hot In Here" [Mix]Posted: July 21, 2011 | Author: Bruno Romeu | Filed under: Detroit, Disco, Edit, House, Mixtape, Nu Disco, Soul | Tags: Diskkjokke, Greg Wilson, Mario Basanov, Max Essa, Mirror People, Social Disco Club, Steve Kotey |Leave a comment
From in Oporto, Portugal, Humberto Matias is the man behind Social Disco Club. Obviously for me it's an honour do dedicate him some lines. In fact, i have been thinking about this post for a long time already. I'm always waiting for the right moment to write this. Well, seems the day arrived:)
Probably everyone already knows this story. Anyway, here we go…. everything started more or less in 2007 when Humberto's created his personal blog http://www.socialdiscoclub.blogspot.com/. This platform was his "road" for him to show his real honest passion for disco. Sometimes there was so many visitors, that his blog used to crash all the time. Can you imagine? I hope one day Golden Scissors crashes too!
Back to our story …. with all this booster, it was just a small step for the vinyl reality, including two releases for the monster Mindless Boogie. Social Disco Club quickly got respect from people like Aeroplane, Foolix Felix, Ray Mang, Pete Herbert or Faze Action. How awesome is that…?
We are already in 2011 and i assure you that Social Disco Club is known all over the Globe. His has already made collaborations with people like Greg Wilson, Mirror People, Diskjokke and more recently with Munk or Mario Bazanov. "Respect" is the correct word i can find to describe Mr. Humberto Matias….
To finish my work here, i leave you his latest remixes and also his "Hot In Here" summer mixtape.

People Power - December 2010
By Scott Humphrey
As I write this article, it is the Monday before Veterans' Day, a day set aside to honor those who have sacrificed for our country by serving in the United States Armed Forces. I am reminded of the greatness of this country, a country built on the backs of innumerable patriots, businessmen, visionaries and everyday Americans whose longing for freedom and a better way of life was unquenchable. They were consumed with the belief that there was something better out there. They lived with a "never quit" mindset, always looking forward to a better day. They persevered through many trials and conflicts, and because of their sacrifice, America still stands as a beacon of light.
Though this all-consuming fire for a better way of life still lives on in pockets throughout our country, there is no doubt that the embers need to be stirred again. We are a country in need of the same mindset that brought us from fledgling nation to superpower. In this article, I want to glean lessons from the Americans who got us here, lessons that can move us beyond mediocrity to greatness once again.
No pain, no gain. We didn't become a nation that others admire just by maintaining the status quo, and it didn't just happen over time. Countless people suffered in some way to improve our country. Some gave the ultimate sacrifice, and to them we must remain eternally grateful.
During the last several years, as we have battled against this Great Recession, many have chosen to hunker down and ride it out, but this mentality doesn't create greatness. At best, it creates survivors.
We seem to have forgotten the old adage, "No pain, no gain." Surpassing your competition and becoming the premier retailer in your area will call for you to do some things that will stretch you. And as a leader it will require you to stretch your people. Continuing to do the same things you did before the recession, or even doing those same things with more vigor, will not get you out of the mire of the current predicament.
Don't forget, there are still people succeeding today. Learn from them. They are actually growing their businesses. They have chosen to do what others are not willing to do. They have become more aggressive instead of pulling back. They have refused to let those who are caught in the present define their future. And yes, they have been willing to feel the pain temporarily because they are focused on the future gain it will produce.
As a leader, you must set the example for your team. Stretch yourself and your employees will follow.
It does matter who wins and who loses. I recently heard a report on the radio that I could not believe. The mindset is so foreign to my way of thinking that I had to share it with you.
The Sedalia Junior Outlaws football team earned a spot in the playoffs after going undefeated in their league. However, the team was banned from the playoff games because they were too good.
The team became a success by going 6-0 in the regular season in the West Central Youth Football League. They had one more wish. They wanted to go to the championship and compete for the right to be called the winner, the best. But right before the playoffs, they received an email from league officials, which stated that other teams in the league did not feel they could be competitive with the Outlaws, so officials asked the team not to participate.
In this situation, I don't know what bothers me more—the mentality of punishing those who excel or the fact that another team will win the championship by not having to play the Outlaws and will be satisfied with that. What are we teaching our children?
Because of the press this situation is likely to receive, I am sure the Outlaws will be given numerous opportunities to prove their superiority, but what kind of message does this send? Have we fallen so far from seeking to do our best that we now punish those who do?
I am a coach. This year my girls' soccer team won the regular season and the championship by beating the best. Not once did I tell them that winning was all that matters. But not once did I give the impression that winning didn't matter either. We practice to perform at our highest level; otherwise, why practice? We strive to do our best so that one day we too can win. All athletes know that competing with the best improves their game.
When you allow your employees to settle, you do them no favors. In fact, you begin to ingrain in them the knowledge that you will be satisfied with mediocrity. If you desire for your team to perform at their highest level, let them know what winning means and consistently let them know who is attaining the mark.
Without a vision, the people perish. Strong performance is the result of strong leadership. I recently read that when George Washington went to battle with the British at Valley Forge, it is believed that only one out of every four Americans agreed with fighting for our independence from England. Still, Washington, driven by a desire to free the colonies from anything that constrained them, fought on. He had a vision that consumed him.
I am convinced that the primary reason our employees do not perform at a higher level is twofold. First, owners and managers have put up with mediocrity, and it has become the new normal. When a manager allows one employee to ride the coattails of others, they destroy the morale of the entire team. Ask yourself this question: in this economy, when everyone should be putting their best foot forward and presenting themselves as essential to the success of the organization, is an employee still performing at a sub-standard level capable of change?
Second, leadership has not cast a vision for employees to follow. Employees must know what is expected of them, and they must know whether they are meeting that expectation. It is imperative that you have ongoing conversations with your team to identify where improvement is needed and where others are meeting and exceeding the standard.
I grew up as the youngest of three sons. I am convinced that my life was shaped by the example of my parents, the constant striving to compete with older brothers, and the knowledge that there was something beyond "good enough."
As you read this article, you are preparing for what many see as an uncertain 2011. You have a choice to make. You can hunker down and seek to simply survive or you can determine that 2011 will be a different year for you. I challenge you to stretch yourself, focus on winning, follow the example of other winners, like our veterans, and set high standards for achieving success in 2011. Begin now. Don't wait for the New Year to set your focus on winning. If you lead, those that matter most, personally and professionally, will follow.
Here's wishing you a blessed 2011!

Hypertriglyceridemia is emerging as an important predictor of atherosclerosis, and recent evidence suggests related phenotypes of triglycerides (TGs), such as TG remnant particles and small lactate dehydrogenase (LDL) particles, are particularly atherogenic. There is considerable variation in the response of TGs and related phenotypes to the environment.
The study is in response to a Request for Applications (RFA) entitled " Interaction of Genes and Environment in Shaping Risk Factors for Heart, Lung, Blood, and Sleep Disorders". The RFA was released in October, 2001.
Measurements will be collected before and after a dietary fat challenge to assess postprandial TGs and related atherogenic phenotypes (VLDL TGs, chylomicron TGs, TG remnant particles, high-density lipoprotein(HDL) and low density lipids (LDL) particle sizes, total cholesterol, LDL-C, and HDL-C). In families with 2 or more members in a sibship with high TGs (>= 130 mg/dl), the authors will conduct a short-term, placebo-controlled, randomized trial of fenofibrate in all willing and eligible family members (anticipated sample size = 1,200). A two-period crossover design will be executed with a 2-week washout between two 3-week treatment periods (placebo or micronized fenofibrate, 160 mg). About 1,000 family members have a Marshfield genome marker set available as part of national Heart Lung and Blood (NHLBI) FHS; the remaining 1,400 will be typed using the same marker set. They will conduct genome-wide linkage analyses using state-of-the-art methods to localize novel genetic loci contributing to TG response in the context of fat loading and fenofibrate treatment. They will type 15 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in ten candidate genes known to contribute to the response of TGs to dietary fat and fenofibrate, and create haplotypes for association studies. They will use combinatorial partitioning methods and neural networks to test association of the individual SNPs and haplotypes with response to the two environmental interventions. The identification of genetic loci that predict TG response in the presence of two disparate contexts, fat loading and fibrate therapy, may provide insights into genetic pathways (a) predisposing to hypertriglyceridemia, ultimately leading to avenues for primary prevention, and (b) predicting response to TG lowering, leading to new drug targets for hypertriglyceridemia.

By This Time Next Year, You Might Finally Be Able to Use Your Electronics During Takeoff
It's hard to say what the most obnoxious part of air travel is . . . but having to shut down all electronics during takeoff and landing definitely gets a few votes. Mainly because it's ridiculous. Your iPad isn't going to make a modern plane malfunction.
The FAA has finally recognized that it's probably time to back off that rule. And just in time, too . . . now that we're all so addicted to our electronics, even 10 minutes without them starts giving us the shakes.
They're currently running a study on whether electronics might still have the potential to interfere with a plane's operations and navigation. In July, they'll discuss the findings from the study.
–And assuming the study turns out like everyone expects it to, you could be allowed to use your electronics during takeoff and landing by the end of this year.
–But . . . you'll still need to put your devices in airplane mode. Data connections still won't work right in the air, and still have the remote potential to cause problems.

Treat fade-in/fade-outs like crossfades
Is there any reason that fade-ins/outs act differently to crossfades? (i.e. just a menu, instead of a nice GUI popping up.) I'm no programmer, but I'd have thought it would be less work to use the same dialogue twice rather than making two different ways to act on fades.
To my mind it makes more sense to use the same flexibility for fade-ins and fade-outs as are possible in crossfades - it's unlikely that people will often need such a level of control, but if they do, then it's nice for it to be there.
Also, the little blob to click on for "normal" fades still appears over a crossfade, which makes things a bit confusing.
fade ins and outs are intended mostly avoid clicking at the beginning and end of a region. they are not intended to provide for totally flexible per-region gain control - the region has its own gain envelope for that (right click on a region, and find it in the per-region context menu)
the only reason there is any choice about the shape of fade in/out's is because for there is no single shape that is always appropriate for all material. the length adjustment was probably a mistake :)

A Retrospective Study of Biomarkers in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Recruitment status was: Recruiting
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this study is:
- To characterize the types and frequency of molecular alterations to the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) pathway, FGFR4 and EML-ALK in Asian patients with non-small cell lung cancer
- To identify candidate biomarkers of importance in the EGFR and estrogen pathways
Most, if not all, human malignancies including lung cancer are caused by somatic alterations of the genome, leading to activation of oncogenes or inactivation of tumor suppressor genes and their resultant oncogenic effects. In addition to mutations, increased chromosomal copy number (by amplification or polysomy) and DNA methylation are other mechanisms of oncogene activation and tumour suppressor gene inactivation respectively.
Little is known about the relationship between these oncogenes of the EGFR family and the recently described oncogenes FGFR4 and fusion gene EML4-ALK. Recent data suggests molecularly defined subgroups of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) exist and can be used to predict for sensitivity to targeted agents (erlotinib or gefitinib) or cytotoxic chemotherapy (pemetrexate, gemcitabine, platinum agents). The findings that estrogen receptors are present in lung tumours and that estrogen can stimulate growth and proliferation of lung cancers in vitro and in vivo are provocative. Further studies to evaluate the role of estrogens and other sex hormones in lung cancer are warranted.
A further understanding of the molecular indicators of lung cancer prognosis and treatment prediction would improve drug development and patient treatment selection.
Archived paraffin-embedded and fresh frozen NSCLC tumor tissue will be obtained via the Department of Pathology and the National University Tissue Repository respectively. Clinico-pathological characteristics will be obtained from the case records, Pathology and Tissue Repository. DNA will be isolated using standard techniques. Sequencing of genes in the EGFR signaling pathway: EGFR, KRAS, ErbB2, ErbB3, MET, PI3K, and BRAF as well as FGFR4. Unstained slides from the paraffin-embedded tissue will be obtained and subjected to fluoresce in vitro hybridization (FISH) for breakpoints in the EML4 and ALK genes as previously described. For cases that have been snap-frozen, RNA will be extracted and EML4-ALK fusions will be confirmed using RT-PCR and pre-specified primers. To analyse the expression of proteins of putative relevance to EGFR function (such as EGFR, ErbB2, ErbB3, AKT, MET, STAT, ERK, MAPK, cyclin D1, C/EBPa), downstream effects of EGFR: cell proliferation (Ki-67), angiogenesis (CD34, VEGF-A), apoptosis (bcl-2), metastasis, and hormonal influence (oestrogen and progesterone receptors, aromatase), TMA technology will be utilised. The status of the tumor suppressor genes PTEN and C/EBPa will be analysed.

S&w 1911pd
I am considering the Smith & Wesson 1911PD because I can get one new for $760.00. I think they retail for around $1000 so seems like a good deal. The gun appears high quality, but I have never shot one. I did notice that the Ambi slide safety is held in on the right side by the grip and can easily be removed. In fact one of the 1911PD's at the gun shop had the right side slide safety missing because it fell off during shipping. That really turned me off.
Any feedback on this pistol would be helpful. Thanks.
Have had this 1911PD for about a year now. Several hundred rounds down range and so far nothing has fallen off. The 1911PD is a scandium framed pistol and is very light compared to an all steel frame...about 29oz versus 34-36oz. I have been very pleased with it so far, shoots true, no FTF or FTE to-date and looks perty in her Buckeye grips...:p S&W does use external extractors on their 1911 and that's a turn-off to many purists but truth be told I haven't noticed a bit of difference and like I said, nothing has fallen off yet.
P.S. $760 is a hell of a deal for a new 1911PD.
What do these guns usually sell for?
The gun shop is holding thier last one for me for the $760 price, but I actually prefer the Sig Scorpion. Best price I can get ont he Scorpion new is $1000. I am wondering if I would be foolish to pass up the Smith for the money!?
I picked one up NIB last year for apx $810.00 a great all USA made firearm.?
S&w 1911
I Have the S&W "Gunsite" Commander 1911 and it's been a great pistol. I would buy another. The price is fantastic. I paid 1050 for mine.
No exsperience with it but i had a all steel full size S&W 1911 a few years ago & was VERY impressed with it :)
One of the few that i really regret tradin off :(
I picked up the S&W 1911PD and it is a top notch 1911. I like it every bit as much as my Colt, SIG, and Kimbers.
Dude, before I saw the SIG line of 1911 I wanted a s&w 1911 pd really bad. Though I love my SIG 1911s I would still enjoy finding a pd 1911.
good for you on the purchase!
I bought the S&W 1911 Model #108285,? last year for $830.00 OTD from my local dealer.? what a great 1911 all USA made gun it is also.

ST. CLOUD, MN (KNSI) - A St. Cloud business shut down in early August during a raid by state officials has lost a court ruling to get its property back.
The owners of Triple Crown Sweepstakes went to court last week, and argued they should get property returned to them that was seized by the state's Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement Division during an August 9th raid.
But Judge William Cashman denied the request, siding with the state that the property was taken and being held in good faith, and that it is evidence as part of an on-going investigation.
The state confiscated video terminals that reveal whether sweepstakes entries earn a prize. They contend Triple Crown Sweepstakes was conducting an illegal lottery.
The owners of the business have yet to be charged with any crimes.

Ebonacea: a celebration of Black History Month
February 1, 2001 - February 26, 2001
The Ebony Society's Black History Committee and Parks presents its annual art exhibit in honor of Black History Month at the historic Arsenal Gallery in Central Park. Entitled, "Ebonacea," this show features a sampling of some of the artistic and creative talents of Parks employees, family members, Parks seniors and adult recreation center members and retirees of Parks. As in years past, this show will feature a variety of media: handcrafted quilts, photographs, paintings and handcrafts.
A main feature of the exhibit is the handmade quilt. The quilts that adorn the walls of the Gallery are designed and crafted by African-American women, who see it not only as a part of their cultural heritage, but as a way to incorporate their artistic vision and abilities with their own personal history. The works in the exhibition, not only celebrate the creative talents of our Parkies, but also recognizes the time-honored traditions that have been practiced within African-American communities for centuries.

Summer Festival of Sacred Music at St. Bart's Continues 8/19
The Summer Festival of Sacred Music at St. Bart's continues on Sunday, August 19 at 11 am with a service featuring Lassus's Missa Bell' Amphitrit' altera.
Flemish by birth, Italian by training, and Bavarian by choice, Orlandus Lassus (c.1532-1594) was a prolific composer of immense vitality. Although he spent most of his career at the Bavarian ducal chapel in Munich, his fame covered the continent. One of the most versatile composers of the Renaissance - and one of the most prolific of all time - Lassus wrote over 2,000 works in all the Latin, French, Italian and German vocal genres of his time. He is considered to be the chief representative of the mature polyphonic style of the Franco-Flemish school. St. Bartholomew's Choir will offer his Missa Bell' Amphitrit' altera, an extraordinarily rich work in 8 voices, for double choir.
This event is the third in a series of four Summer Festival services in August featuring music of the greatest masters of the Renaissance including works by Josquin, Taverner, Lassus and Palestrina.
St. Bartholomew's Choir will be conducted by Paolo Bordignon.
