By MATTHEW CARROLLAssociated Press
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) - New England's Tommy Kelly doesn't expect Atlanta to run the ball that much Sunday night.
The Patriots defensive tackle is so certain the Falcons will primarily pass, he's focusing solely on quarterback Matt Ryan.
With Ryan under center, there's no reason to believe Kelly is wrong, either.
Now in his sixth season, Ryan has developed into one of the game's premier passers, due in part to the stockpile of receivers has to choose from. Between deep threats Julio Jones and Roddy White, and perennial Pro Bowl tight end Tony Gonzalez, Ryan is a threat to throw a touchdown every time he touches the ball.
He is one of seven quarterbacks this season to average more than 300 yards passing per game, a tall task even for New England's sixth-ranked passing defense.

World Teachers' Day, celebrated on Oct. 5, is a great opportunity to show teachers in the Greenwich how great you think they are. But, the day also takes on a deeper meaning, standing for the protection of teachers' rights.
Since its inception in 1994, World Teachers' Day has had a theme every year. The theme for 2012 is "Take a stand for teachers."
This day was founded by UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.
Its aim is to educate the public about the conditions of being a teacher around the world, focusing specifically on the protection of teachers' rights, and the proper training, development and status raising of teachers.
UNESCO's partners in this effort are the International Labour Organization, the United Nations Development Programme, Education International and UNICEF.
Everyone has an educator who has changed his or her life with their kindness, humor or educational impact.
On World Teachers' Day, we can remember them by looking at issues and obstacles they may face, knowing that the brightest and most motivated teachers need to be continually attracted to a profession whose status continually needs improvement socially and monetarily.
More than 100 countries currently observe World Teachers' Day, with many corporate supporters such as Google recognizing the global impact and conditions of teachers.
TELL US: How will you celebrate World Teachers' Day? Give your favorite teachers a shout out in the comments section below.

If you found one thing that would help your child perform better academically, grow up with a solid sense of self-esteem and resist drugs, alcohol abuse and sexual promiscuity, would you do it?
What if it was as easy as having dinner together regularly as a family?
Research by the Emory University Center for Myth and Ritual in American Life (MARIAL Center) showed that having family dinners together around the table has the potential to provide a child with all of the above benefits.
Here are some ideas and resources that can help you make having a nightly family dinner together a reality.
Great Tips for Really Busy Families in The Family Dinner
The thought of trying to sit down together to a homemade meal every day may seem like an impossible dream to most busy families.
But famous environmentalist, producer and author Laurie David's book, The Family Dinner: Great Ways to Connect with Your Kids, One Meal at the Time, available on Amazon.com, gives you fabulous, easy to make, kid-pleasing recipes for meals from Kirstin Uhrenholdt, as well as step-by-step chapters on how you can make a daily meal ritual happen for your family.
David's book is not for "perfect families" devoid of challenges. She devotes a whole chapter, titled "Two Homes, One Table," to how divorced parents can use a meal with their children to strengthen ties and enhance communication.
She reflects, "When marriages break up, kids need the comfort of routine more than ever."
Another chapter called "Table Talk" focuses on how to have engaging conversations over a meal.
In another chapter, "Grace Is Gratitude," David provides a variety of ways families can "say thank you and appreciate life's gifts," noting that, "raising grateful kids has got to be one of the most daunting and difficult challenges we face as parents."
Plan and Cook Ahead
Tanya Steel is the editor of Epicurious.com, a mother of two and the author of Real Food for Healthy Kids: 200+ Easy, Wholesome Recipes, available on Amazon.com.
She says busy parents should "plan your week's dinner menus and include your kids in the decision making process, make a shopping list. Epicurious has a wonderful (and free) shopping list functionality, as does ZipList.
On Sunday, take some time to make a few of the coming nights' dishes, and double the amounts of things like stews and roasts and freeze half.
Lacey Sabic Puhl is a busy Redmond, WA mom of two, about to add co-producer of the school play to her to-do list.
She is also a big fan of planning and cooking ahead.
"I do freezer meals once a month. I make 25 meals I can freeze and then also have fresh meal options that I shop for throughout the month."
Crockpots and Pressure Cookers: New Ways to Utilize These "Old School" Cooking Tools to Create Delicious, Easy Meals in Less Time
Crockpots and pressure cookers also offer a huge range of options for time-saving and delicious meals, and have gotten much easier to use over the past decade.
San Diego mom of two and elder care consultant Meg Rich says, "A pressure cooker saves my bacon. They are idiot- proof now. Bean soup in an hour. Stews, pot roasts. Makes risotto in seven minutes with no stirring. Lorna Sass has great cookbooks including Pressure Perfect and The Pressured Cook."
The Conversations Matters More Than the Food: How to Keep it Flowing
Lacey Sabic Puhl always includes conversation as part of her dinner plan.
"Sitting down for dinner was always a priority for my grandmother, and she lived so close to us that I was found at her table most nights because I loved discussing my day.
Dinner here is served between 6 and 6:30. That way my husband Brian can work as late as he needs and walk in when he can. If he is going to miss dinner, my daughter Anika and I still eat and sit at the table.
We always talk about what we did that was the most stupendous thing of the day and talk about anything that is coming up or weekend plans. We have dinner topic cards that we use from time to time too that range from 'What animal would you be?' to 'Who do you think you were in your past life?'
Dinner experiences are such a rewarding thing for kids that I simply made it a priority as soon as we had children in our lives."

UPDATE: Two teenage cousins who vanished outside a home in Inkster have been found. Sources say 13-year-old Jakaya Babbitt and 14-year-old Kamariya Koger were dropped off overnight at the Inkster police department.
They disappeared Sunday afternoon when they were shoveling snow.
Police would not say what happened to the girls, but we're told they are doing fine and have reunited with their families.
See Taryn Asher's original story below:
INKSTER, Mich. (WJBK) -- Inkster police say are asking the public's assistance in seeking two teenaged cousins, Jakiyah, 13, and Kamariya, 14. The girls were shoveling snow in front of one of the cousin's homes in Inkster on Williams Street Sunday afternoon. Jakiyah's dad went to check on them and they were gone.No one has seen or heard from them since."No Kick, no Instagram, no Facebook, no instant messengers, nothing. It's like it's no trace of her," says Tanette Stewart, Kamariya's mother. Kamariya is the mother of an 8-month-old son who was inside at the time she disappeared. The parents filed a missing person's report with Inkster police, who say they are willing to investigate any tips but don't have the resources to search the streets for the girls. "I'm a concerned parent, I'll do it myself. I'll knocked on every door in Inkster until I get done. Move to Taylor, to Garden City, back to Detroit to the west side to the east," Stewart says.

Watch this video to be informed by Jeff Lee of how to avoid a furnance scam.
Having cracks in the furnance heat exchanger is very dangerous but finding the cracks is a very difficult thing to do.
If a technician has told you they have found a crack in the heat exchanger, you should be able to see it also. Some companies will claim that you have a crack in the heat exchanger when you really do not in order to make more money.
Therefore it is wise to choose a company with a video camera inspection system which is able to travel up inside the recesses of the heat exchanger to find any bad or cracked portions. This way you will be able to see the cracks yourself on the LCD monitor.
Be cautious and know the facts to continue to keep yourself and your family safe.

The usual Sak quality. The size is perfect for what I was looking for. I ordered this for an overseas trip I'm taking soon, so I haven't used it yet. The only strike I have against this tote, is the top zipper, which extends further from the top opening. Don't know if that will be a problem, or not.

Perfect bag for work and travel. Love all the pockets, gorgeous lining. and the leather is great quality.

Cognac Regions
Cognac is rarely born of a single eau-de-vie or a single growing area, but generally from a blend of different ages and crus, sometimes up to a hundred of them.
It can be made also exclusively from certain "cru", for example exclusively from "Grande Champagne", but of different ages.
Grande Champagne : about 13,000 hectares of clay and compact chalk soil. The Grande Champagne cru is located around the town of Segonzac. It produces a very fine, high-quality Cognac. It is known as the Premier Cru du Cognac.
Petite Champagne : some 16,000 hectares of clay and a more compact chalky layer of soil. Petit Champagne is very much of the same quality, but a touch lighter. It's vineyards lie to the south-west and south-east of Grande Champagne.
Fine Champagne : The blending of Grande and Petite Champagne with a minimum of 50% of Grande Champagne is called "Fine Champagne".
Borderies : only 4,000 hectares of unique soil on the plateau above Charente river. The eau de vie has a slight nutty taste. Borderies, which lie around the town of Burie (north-west of City of Cognac), is the smallest of the crus in the terms of acreage. Eaux-de-vie from Borderies has rich, flowery aromas and it is known as "…Cognac that ladies prefer".
Fins Bois : 37,000 hectares of soil. characterized by quick aging environment. A subtle flowery bouquet characterizes this eau de vie. The largest, and by far the intriguing cru, is Fins Bois. Geographically, it rings the other three crus. It lies, approximately, in the triangle between the towns of Rouilliac, Matha and Pons. It has a rich, full, strong aromas with a touch of the maritime climate.
Bons Bois : less chalky but more earthy soil of 16,000 hectares that is well reflected in the eau de vie.
Bois Ordinaires et Bois Communs (Bois a Terroir); 30,000 hectares of soil influenced by the Atlantic climate. Bons Bois and Bois Ordinaires are the exterior crus heavily influenced by the climate of the Atlantic ocean. They contribute less and less to the overall production of Cognac but are, nevertheless, known to produce some interesting Cognacs.

Dog Show Severs Ties with Pedigree

There has to be more to this story. Things like this are never that simple. Since the Mars Company's headquarters are in this area, they sponsor just about every dog related event around here. I've never heard anyone say anything about their ads being too depressing.

This news item really bothers me. I commend Pedigree's efforts to encourage shelter pet adoption. Their commercials and print ads always bring a smile (or tear) to my face. I love to watch the Westminster Kennel dog show every year. But I'm sad to hear that the "real life" of mixed-breed and shelter animals is just too "sad" for the kennel organization. I won't be watching the show this year with as much enthusiasm as I have in the past.
You present only a biased half of the story, as usual. The Westminster folks are just as much dog lovers as you are. Until all the commercials shown at the Oscars are of sad-eyed, hungry children, squalling about not seeing sad-eyed dogs during Westminster commercials is just wrong. Put the commercials on Animal Planet where they belong.

Going to a movie doesn't cause a child to be left squalling and homeless; thinking that only purebred dogs are quality dogs does, however, result in increased pet store sales and overpopulated shelters. Pedigree is not challenging the right to breed or own purebred dogs; they are, however, pointing out that there are other dogs needing homes if you care to provide one.
As a proponent of the "one of each" school of dog parenting, I've got one purebred and one mutt. I don't think ALL the ads during the show were guilt-trippy... and Pedigree has a right to promote their product their own way, just as WKC has a right to plug their ears and go "Not LISTENING...lalalalalala..."

I very much admire Pedigree's ad campaigns. Their focus on shelter, adoption, overweight and aging dogs shows their commitment to a dog's life in its entirety-- not just the fun, glamorous or easy parts of dog life and dog ownership. Though my dog does not eat Pedigree dog food, my family has donated to their dogsrule campaign as we believe in their cause. It saddens me, but doesn't surprise me, that AKC/Westminster is dropping them as a sponsor.
The AKC, governing body of the Westminster Kennel Club, says in their mission statement "The American Kennel Club is dedicated to upholding the integrity of its Registry, promoting the sport of purebred dogs and breeding for type and function...."
The Westminster Show is a great event and a lot of fun to attend but, just like any beauty pageant, you only see the facade that is being presented to you. The reality of dog ownership (or abandonment) is not always so pretty. Pedigree seems to understand and value that.

How sad! Now even less attention will be paid to the problem of homeless dogs since these ads brought awareness to a large audience. Shame on Westminster Kennel Club!
Submitted by MP | February 13 2012 | Permalink
I've got two rescue dogs right now but when one of those weepy adopt-a-dog commercials comes on, I mute it or change the channel. I react badly to all kinds of guilt-trip advertising. No doubt AKC/WKC wants people like me to stay tuned instead of leaving the channel because we don't like an ad.
There should have been room to compromise and ask Pedigree to offer happy adoption stories in their ads instead. Like my guy, a stray Rat Terrier (a UKC-recognized breed), Therapy Dog-certified, with more performance titles than I can keep track of.
One more thing--AKC should demand health certificates (clear hips and eyes) and genetic clearance of heritable diseases before awarding conformation championships. A friend has a grand champion AmStaff with a heart murmur. The dog will be spayed, but a less honest person would breed this dog.
Disappointing. But I guess I'm not surprised since the dog show promotes pure breeds only. I have a mix breed shelter dog who could have starred in one of those commercials. Guess we won't be watching the Westminster show this year.

It was Pedigree who pulled out of dog shows, including Westminster Kennel Club--not Westminster pulling away from Pedigree.

According to the New York Times, Westminster cut the cord.
Mr. Frei said the switch was also partly for economic reasons. But Melissa Martellotti, a brand communications manager for Mars Petcare US, which makes the Pedigree brand, said that Westminster had initiated the split and that dog show officials told the pet food company that its decision involved concerns about the ad campaign.

Personally, I couldn't care less what the WKC does. Whining about the ads being too depressing is downright laughable; why not ask Pedigree to feature AKC club-affiliated rescues and rescuers in a more cheerful line of ads instead? Keep the key phrases - we see hope, we see potential - and consider featuring those hard-working foster moms and dads, the transport trains, the people who go pick the dogs up from shelters and get them listed on their rescue pages. It could be done.
Or ask them to change the tone entirely - "Best in Home, Brought to you by your local shelter" ads featuring rescued dogs up on the judge's table, wiggling and licking, with a voice over - "The Australian Cattle Beagle doesn't know whether he wants to round up the cows or chase them down a hole - but he sure does know a good squeaky toy when he sees one! Look at that dog go!" - as the dog makes an escape, romping gleefully away from judge and handler with lead trailing. Why not make it a sort of gentle, laugh-at-ourselves send-up of the whole dog show iconography, while still pointing out that shelter dogs are great dogs - and that purebreds need rescuing, too? Ah well... perhaps the folks who decided to sever ties had too many brain cells bred out of their lines, resulting in a lack of creative problem solving.
The end result, if I'm not mistaken, will simply be to further tarnish the image of dog shows and promote the stereotype of wealthy elitists out of touch with reality parading their supposedly superior dogs in circles. Pedigree's ads will wind up garnering more attention than if the WKC hadn't said a word, once the media catches wind of this, and that might well result in good things for dogs in shelters.
I have no idea which entity severed the ties on the Westminster sponsorship, but either way, I am not a fan of Pedigree. ... Two years ago I was feeding Pedigree, and my dog were healthy and looked good. Then Pedigree changed the "look" of the food. What I didn't know was that they also changed the formula. ...
Within a month of using the food with the "new look" my dogs coats were totally dried out and looked like straw. This was in the late fall when they should have been growing coat and looking good, so I knew it wasn't "normal".
I contacted a Representative of Mars that I was aquainted with and asked if there had been reports of dogs that were eating the "new look" food developing dry coats. He said that he "really couldn't answer that" and told me he would have someone from the company contact me. They did, and I asked the same question.
His answer was that they were "re-evaluating" their new formula and determining if they needed to be adding additional oil to the formula. In subsequent months I saw on the bag "Now with additional fats and amino acids".
I never tried the "new new" food, as I had totally lost faith in Pedigree/Mars. I have no bought any of their products since.
In writing this, it came to mind: I wonder if the show breeders/Westminster lost faith in Pedigree/Mars just as I did? Maybe that food fiasco caused many who had the same experience I did to quit buying Pedigree, so Pedigree is now are persuing a different market. Rescues. ???

The ad campaign by Pedigree has concerned some animal shelters for a while because they depict very sad-looking animals. As one local radio announcer said to our shelter CEO recently, "Your dogs all look so happy!" The announcer was surprised that a dog from a shelter could be happy; he was used to the sad faces and horror stories that get the most media attention. Dogs at shelters aren't sad, they're just homeless. Depicting the joy of adoption would be a much better promotion for both dog food and rescue animals.

Not everyone agrees with everyone else. Rescue groups do not promote the breeders so why on earth would we expect the breeders' competition to promote rescue?
To each their own. These dog shows have been around forever and well, I like them. I work at a Dog Rescue group, I believe in rescuing dogs and adopting rescued dogs but you know what? If we were all the same life would be boring.

Michelle, I agree with you and I too volunteer at a rescue, Rescue K911 a no kill heaven for dogs of all kinds. Don't you have to wonder why they really cut ties with Pedigree after so many years? The real reason may never be known but if they did not like the sad eyed dogs in the ads why did they sign them up in the first place? Just wondering. I hope they both prosper without each other.
Submitted by Cat | February 15 2012 | Permalink
Rescue K-911 is a wonderful rescue! So glad you shared that. As for the AKC, they may be in denial regarding rescues, and that is a shame. There are probably 40% of rescued dogs that are 'purebred', and breeders should recognize that. Yes, the AKC 'rule' is that a registered breeder will take back any of their dogs if the owner can't (or won't) care for them any more, but the reality of that occurring is a small percentage of the dogs sold. I also work with rescue, and am really glad that more and more breeders have joined our ranks over the last few years. I hope things improve on both sides of the house.
Are you kidding? Boring? Why don't you go to a shelter and help take out the bodies of all the dogs and puppies killed on a daily basis. To people like you dogs are an object with which to make money and perhaps a little glory among your own ilk. Breeders are the worse.
Submitted by Pop | February 15 2012 | Permalink
I disagree with part of this. I belong to a nationwide "Breed Rescue", one that specifically rescues only one breed of dog. As a rescue, we get along very well with the show-quality breeders of our dogs, and we most-assuredly do not compete for pet placements with them.
We certainly would like to see puppy-millers and back-yard breeders (for profit or "fun") go out of business, but the show breeders who are striving to evolve our breed into a "more perfect dog" are not our adversaries at all! In fact, they very-often step up to assist in cases where we are called on by authorities to take dozens of dogs at once (state and USDA puppy-mill "busts" of unlicensed breeding operations). They provide financial support, whelping assistance with pregnant rescue dogs, and tons and tons of sound advice about the specific breed's health and temperamental issues.
They understand the need to rescue, and support it with their actions.
According to the folks at Pedigree (per the NYTimes), it had less to do with "sad ads" and more to do with "we don't give a damn about shelter dogs." I quote, "'They've shared with us, when we parted ways, that they felt that our advertising was focused too much on the cause of adoption and that wasn't really a shared vision,' she said. The kennel club, she said, is 'focused on the purebred mission,' including the adoption of pure breeds as opposed to mixed breeds."
Darn you internet, for spreading BOTH sides of the story!
No more Westminster in our house. I have purebred dogs (I've even shown one of them), but I'm for DOGS, not just the award winners.

I have always believed in getting my dogs from shelters and would put my mutts up against any purebred any time, any place. I also have one pure breed, who I love dearly, but she is certainly no better than my mixed breeds. They're all the same...great dogs who were given a second chance when I adopted them...or they adopted me.

Shame on WKC!! I will never watch another show by them. The poor shelter dogs pay the price for the WKC arrogance.
Actually, it is a wise decision by WKC. Pedigree is junk food for dogs. Like feeding your kids McDonalds every day. Even rescue dogs deserve better!
Agreed. My take is that the honchos felt the Pedigree ads were bad for business. The truth of the matter is that they do, in fact, know that for each dog bought from a breeder or a pet store, the one shelter dog will lose that chance, and may face death because of it. For shame AKC, for shame. Why don't you try increasing public awareness and responsibility in pet owners? I am now going to Pedigree's website and tell them that they get my vote for their good work in encouraging loving and providing a home for a rescue dog.

We are in favour of Pedigree because of their support of adopting shelter dogs/mutts. Of course Pedigree is not the best quality of dog food, most of the brands that you can buy in a grocery store or big box department store are basically the same. Let's see you provide a link for Purina dog food & you will see basically the same problems. If you want really high quality dog food, you are not going to find it where you buy most brands, including Purina. You want high quality dog food, start with Halo Spots Stew or Blue Buffalo, among many. If you are going to trash Pedigree, then give equal treatment/trashing to Purina. The focus of this story is how despicable the Westminster Dog Show is to drop a long time sponsor because that sponsor is promoting the rescue of already existing (homeless) dogs/mutts. If the Westminster Dog Show people were truly about the love of dogs, along with the AKC, they would support all breeds (pure or mixed) of dogs. Newsflash, WDS & AKC, rescue dogs are comprised of at least 25 % purebred dogs. SHAME ON AKC & WDS, you are disgusting.

My sadness is for the mistreated dogs, but also for inexcusable insensitivity and ignorance of those in AKC who believe protection of their mission required blocking "sad" dogs?! Even helpless mutts? To me, the printed response was barbaric and wrong: a missed opportunity to lead in this matter of human responsibility to pets. No one finds "sad dogs" commercials pleasant. Living evidence of human cruelty and neglect always sicken. Perhaps such videos help dogs, but a mature AKC could surely develop a more effective message(without denying reality). Who better than a responsible AKC to seize such an opportunity to help. "Too sad" all you had to offer?!
Try remembering a brief video displaying at-home practices of more than a few AKC breeders could bring anyone to tears. Now THAT'S TOO SAD!!!
I support responsible breeding to select for desirable characteristics-always with attention to a healthy dog. But it IS NOT a zero sum game. There's value in dogs, even those many dismiss as imperfect, even "mutts."
I was taught that by my rather grand Grandmother, after I learned a local breeder of wonderful hounds was destroying pups. Grandmother said there would someday be a better path to "purebred" [apparently not yet]. Grandma was a member of the DAR, but rogishly informed me that all humans are "mixed-breed mutts" (a hugely scandalous claim in the early 1950s South. She also said most people recognized as "best..." were first-of-their-kind, not selectively bred for performance. She often reminded dog-proud neighbors (she bred a few much-sought after Spaniels) that ALL dogs are "mixed breeds", some called "purebreds" were actually temporarily in a human-created eddy.
I hope AKC will continue to improve relevant education and other mission details, leadership goals, membership oversight for breeders--and build a better world for dogs. "Sad" dogs are created by people. AKCers who continue to hide bad practices must be addressed ethically and effectively. AKC must improve their advocacy for dogs at all stages of "breeding", protect and respect a better future for dogs--in fact for all animals. Such efforts may also serve to enhance the human species a bit--which would certainly better serve us all.

The breeder that was culling pups was a moron not for the fact he was "bettering" his lines, but any underlaying genetic problems would be unknown to him because he culled out dogs that could have shown them. this is a true irresponsibilty to the breed. especially since then the genetic tests we have today weren't as prevelent (or even known or avaible depending on the years he bred!)
mine and my husbands family are breeders, we pride ourselves in EVERY pup we produce, whether they be from our hunting or our companion animals. (his family has "hunting" dogs from hunting lines. mine have "companion" dogs from conformation lines.) BUT even then still his main breeding studs have their conformation championships in addition to being used as hunting dogs (and p[roving themselves VERY well in the feild. back when dogs were going for 500-600 for the breed his grandfather had people paying 800 and up.)

I used to watch the WKC Dog Show and admire all the different breeds. When the Pedigree commercials followed and their simple message about adopting a shelter dog and pointing out that 'all dogs are champions', I applauded. Thank you Pedigree for nationally spreading the message about rescuing rather than buying. I'd really like to see Pedigree have an "All Dogs Dog Show." It would be far more interesting to see adoptable dogs paraded around and even more challenging for the judges to determine 'best in breed/best in show'. So there! Take that WKC.

I think the AKC has made great strides toward recognizing the merits of mixed breed dogs. Their PAL and Canine Partners programs are some examples of this. They also have created a Therapy Dog Title that any dog, regardless of its pedigree, can achieve through service. I have two unregistered rescue Shelties registered with the PAL program. Many AKC events, other than conformation shows like the WKC, are now open to mixed breeds. I don't approve of their "too sad" excuse, but you have to give them credit for their changing attitude toward mixed breeds, many of which are or could be rescue dogs.
And -- has anyone considered that the "too sad" reason maybe IS just an excuse for dropping them, when the REAL reason COULD be that they don't approve of the nutritional content of Pedigree? They might be trying to obscure the real issue because they don't want to upset the dog food industry that supports them.

Pedigree killed my dog..Glad they severed ties to them.Mars knows this is happening and they do not care.One dog died after one bowl of there lab anaimal food.My dog was healthy one day dead the next after eating pedigree.The funny thing is my other chow would not eat it.He smelled it and walked away.I would love to sue them,but it wont bring my Sassie back.I will post this till people stop feeding their pets Pedigree.

Pig as prize
San Lorenzo Valley High junior Emily Holmes nailed seven 3-pointers on her way to 21 points and a pig during the Cougars girls basketball team's Dec. 3 loss to King City High.
But the defeat was an afterthought. Mike Holmes, in an effort to create more excitement in girls basketball, had promised his daughter he would buy her a teacup pig if she scored 20 points in a game.
She did it.
"I'm trying to bring some noise to our girls sports," Holmes, a parent on the team said.
Although no animals are allowed on the San Lorenzo Valley High campus, Principal Karen van Putten allowed an exception for Louie the pig to attend the girls basketball game Tuesday, Dec. 11. Louie, Mike Holmes said, was just a stand-in until he can order a pig, which must be purchased before it is born, he said.
Athletic Director Mark Mercer is on board.
"We've also got the Red Sea to come to girls games," Mercer said, referring to the loud student cheering section that wears the school colors of red and black. "The last couple of years, it has been just a guys thing, but the girls have responded, and there have been more (fans) every game."
Mike Holmes also said the entire girls team would earn pedicures by holding the opposition to fewer than 50 points, which they did Tuesday, despite losing 36-26.
Tryout rescheduled
A Dec. 2 tryout for the Scotts Valley based Trouble under-18 girls softball team was rained out and rescheduled for Sunday, Dec. 16.
Pitchers and catchers will try out from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. and all other players from 10:30 a.m. to noon at the Scotts Valley High School softball field, 555 Glenwood Drive, in Scotts Valley.
Players should arrive 15 minutes early.
The team plays in American Softball Association gold-level tournaments and showcases throughout the region.

Warriors 4-1 in Santa Cruz
The Santa Cruz Warriors opened their season 4-1 during a season-opening seven-game road trip.
The team, in its first season in the county, will play in Idaho on Friday, Dec. 14, and Saturday, Dec. 15, before hosting Bakersfield at 5 p.m. Dec. 23 in Santa Cruz.
The Warriors moved to Santa Cruz from North Dakota during the offseason.
A 2,500-seat arena where the team will play its home games is nearly finished at 140 Front St. in downtown Santa Cruz.
The team is scheduled to play games through April, including 24 home games.

Welcome To The Strongest Web Entertainment Portal
For instance newspaper publishing has been remodeled to Web Sites, blogging and web feeds. When it all started, people were skeptical about the very whole idea of internet let alone forget about the news being remodeled. But as of now there are over a hundred million websites with billions of web pages. In a world where contemporary methods of shopping are taking over the traditional ones, it is wiser to choose the advantageous one for one's betterment.
Latest trend is a term that refers to something which is newest in the market. In case of fashion industry, latest trend means the latest fashion, style or design that has been well accepted.
Beautiful women are always the fantasies of men, not only those handsome men but even those average looking men. Figuring out how to approach beautiful women is something most men avoid due to fear of rejection.
The ideal thing to do in a relationship is to care for the other person's needs before your own. Becoming selfless may be the major factor in winning love and a healthy relationship with your better half.
Increase in the usage of internet has resulted in a considerable rise in online shopping portals from where consumers can easily purchase whatever they want. Online shopping has given a new definition to the way we shop. No more one has to go to crowded market places to get things for their need. By just browsing the internet, you can view a plethora of products in front of you that you can choose from.
It is very difficult to take out time from our busy schedules to go to shopping malls or stores and bargain for the product we need. Especially, when we are looking for items related to home entertainment, we are often clueless where to go. Online shopping simplifies your search and enables you to get the best deal unlike a shopping store where you have limited options.
The online news sites often bring content that belongs to a particular geographical area but no one is complaining. For instance online gateways like India Report present select content from India. This kind of coverage gives the necessary focus which is required for such news related purposes and choice to people. The promise is reflected in the entertainment and sports section of these sites where the videos too are from local milieu keeping in mind the interests and preferences of people.
This kind of strategy of Online News Portals has a good chance of succeeding in near future with newspapers and the television media still lagging behind the online media. There will always be blogs and web feeds to supplement a newspaper or a news channel. Moreover news related content is available to the user as it happens, so no delay in reporting makes it a user friendly platform. Apart from serving news to the local public such portals are also reviving the interest of young generation in news and politics.
They continuously engage their audience by the means of polls, attracting attention with blogs and have an eye-catching photo gallery. As for entertainment these portals offer the content to the user at their convenience and in a crystal clear format with excellent sound quality making user experience an exciting one. The print and the electronic media have their task cut out. The online media have time going for them and there is no stopping them in near future also.

Oh my goodness. Just saw this all. Many thoughts and prayers for your little boy!
Just seeing all this now! I'm so glad he is doing better for now. I really hope you get answers soon. You are a great momma! Praying for you and your sweet little man.
Many, many hugs and thoughts to you both!

He didnt have any episodes last night.
Here is the video of the seizure...please do t watch if you are sensitive. It breaks my heart to see it. It happens right after ten seconds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1wRG0J-Sx0
Praying you get some answers soon, and glad to hear there were no episodes last night.
I'm so sorry that you guys are going through this. I hope the doctors can figure out what is wrong with your sweet boy. He is an absolute doll.

I am so sorry momma. Hoping you get answers today. He sure is a cutie.
Shelley-mom to DS, 6
Your poor sweet baby boy I'm so glad that you guys are at the hospital and are being watched carefully. I went through something similar with DS#2 when he was 5 days old. He did the seizure thing and then would stop breathing. After a very long torturous 10 days in the hospital with every test under the sun, we were sent home with infant CPR instructions and the diagnosis of Silent Reflux. We were also sent home with a monitor that tracked his breathing and heart rhythms and he wore that until 6 months old. I had many many sleepless nights of that stupid alarm sounding, but boy am I glad we had it. Ds is now a very healthy 8 yr old with no lasting effects of the breathing and seizure episodes. I hope and pray that the Drs are able to figure out whats going on with your precious little man. So very stressful
I didn't see anything that looked like a siezure, looked like the startle reflex and a bit of a fuss? But I'm not sure what I'm looking for. I hope that you can get some answers. What are they doing for him now?
I agree, he's adorable! For what it's worth, I didn't see anything even vaguely seizure-like there. I did see some reflux-looking behavior, especially in his facial expression and lip movements. I hope you get it figured out soon!
Poor sweet little boy, praying for him

You might not be familiar with the term 'Z-Movie,' but if you grew up in the 90's, chances are you've seen one. They're the beyond-low-budget monstrosities that teased you from the walls of the mom-and-pop video store. Usually, the films themselves could never live up to the pictures on the videotape boxes (because this was way before your fancy 'Digital Video Discs' and 'Blu-Rays') but occasionally you'd find something truly unique. 'WEIRDO FLICKS' will clue you into some movies which 'unique' doesn't even begin to describe...
'Warrior of the Lost World' - 1983, Directed by David Worth
Despite the director's name, I'm pretty sure this is an Italian film, and boy did the Italians like ripping off 'Mad Max' in the 80's. For those who are unfamiliar, the 'Mad Max' trilogy introduced America to an actor by the name of Mel Gibson, who was at this time a z-movie actor in Australian flicks. The films feature a dystopian story about post-WWIII motorcycle outlaws and stuff like that, which is apparently how a LOT of folks in the 80's thought the future would be.
While I am a fan of the original 'Mad Max' movies, I also think that some of the ripoffs are a lot better. And boy, are there a LOT of them...A good amount of these were created by Italian film producers, too, for whatever reason. 'Warrior of the Lost World' is one of these, and while I wouldn't say it's one of the 'best' 'Mad Max' ripoffs, it's certainly one of the most entertaining.
So, you've got your basic motorcycle dude who doesn't play by the rules. His motorcycle is a 'futuristic' intelligent machine that talks to him in an annoying high-pitched voice...kind of like Kitt from 'Knight Rider' except way way wrong. It should also be noted that there are two groups of people...the Elders, who are the good guys, and the bad guys, led by the evil Prossor. We know the difference because the bad guys all dress the same, and they 'show no emotion,' whatever that means, because Prossor definitely DOES laugh maniacally a few times.
Oh, I forgot...there are also the savage people who want nothing to do with either side of the fight. Although most of them are barbaric losers who spend their time fighting in the desert, The Rider (as he's called in the credits) is pretty smart and suave (obviously.) So, he's pretty surprised when he stumbles into the Elders' secret city and is called 'the chosen one.' They want him to rescue a doctor who is their main source of inspiration, and he wants nothing of it. Then, the doctor's daughter threatens to shoot him (some peaceful society) and he changes his mind.
You can pretty much guess the rest, so I won't elaborate any further, but there are a couple surprises and some ridiculous dialog (I'm guessing because I saw an English dub.)
And, while the film itself is pretty stupid, there are some really great scenes, and they picked some cool locations to shoot in. Maybe it's just the crazy Italian architecture, but it doesn't LOOK like a crappy b-movie. Despite all the movie's failings as far as plot go, I was still pretty entertained. Plus, there is some cool commentary on 'art' by way of a performance in the bad guys' city.
You could do a lot worse than this one...for example, 'Roller Blade.'

Glen Hilton was on his way home on M-5 near Ten Mile in Farmington when he said he hit a patch of ice, lost control and landed in the median. When he tried to get out, the snowy slush turned into a muddy mess.
He wasn't there very long before Mark Bartley and his girlfriend, Vanessa Rogers, stopped to help. It is something they said they do every time they see flashing lights, someone stranded or in distress.
"Make sure that they're okay and help out if we can because those are the things you always hope that if you were in that situation somebody would do it for you," said Rogers.
"He's dug himself quite a hole, and I can't seem to rock him out of it," said Bartley.
However, the good Samaritans didn't give up and continued working with Hilton to try and get his car free.
"I really appreciate it. If I had some money, I'd give them all the money out of my pocket right now," Hilton said.
They didn't want his money. It's just something they do. Squinting to avoid the snow blowing straight into his face, Bartley gave us this simple reason why.
"Why not? I've had people stop and help me. Why not stop and help others. It's just common courtesy," he said.
A few minutes later a tow truck came by and this helpful couple got on their way keeping their eyes open for the next motorist that might just need their help.

Plumbers have been working almost 24/7 since the rain started, and they've been focusing a lot on flooded basements.
"I didn't think too much of it, but when I got up this morning and I went down there to get something out I stepped in the water," says Judith Vargo.
Her basement looks like a lot of others in metro Detroit right now, filled with water and a plumber coming to the rescue.
"When you get this much rain like we've had -- an inch or two of rain in 48 hours, 72 hours -- the systems can't handle all of that water," says Steve Klochko of Plumbing Professors. He says that even after the rain stops, basement backups will continue for at least the next few days.
However, there are a few things you can do to make sure this doesn't happen to you.
He recommends that you make sure that your gutters and downspouts are at least three to four feet away from the house so that water coming off the roof doesn't get close to the house. Make sure your sump pump's working if you have one, and then listen to your plumbing.
"Your plumbing will talk to you, believe it or not," Klochko says. "It will gurgle, it will make funny noises or you'll smell something you've never smelled. That usually means something different is happening. And if you react to that, you can prevent a flooded basement."
Calling the professionals now and then doesn't hurt, either.

A friend of mine has a tree that's loaded and invited me over to help myself. It's not a fruit I'm particulary fond of, though I'm not really sure why. Anyway, we got to talking about uses and I realized I'd never had one any way except raw. I can imagine that the grainy texture wouldn't lend itself to being a perfect pie apple substitute, but perhaps there are other good uses.
A bit of Googling didn't turn up much. In fact, I found one thread on another board where someone wondered if you could cook with them, and one of the answers was "Yes! Slice and put them in a salad!" Not exactly a qualified answer.

As some of you have seen on Facebook, Eve was hospitalized with a bacterial infection somewhere in her body. She has had a high fever since early Thursday morning that would come down with fever reducers, but come back up when it wore off. Aside from the fever and irritability, she has no other symptoms. Lab work was done and her white blood cell count was 27,000 and her CRP (C Reactive Protein) was 13 (range is 0.0-09). CRP indicates level of infection or something. We had to do a spinal tap and the fluid appears clear thankfully. Meningitis had been mentioned by the doctor previously. We won't know what she has until something grows on the culture- which takes up to 48 hours which is at least how long we are here for. She is getting two IV antibiotics as well. I have never had a child hospitalized before and certainly wasn't expecting to end up here. I was thinking ear infection when I took her to the doctor yesterday. Any one ever have experience with any of this? Thoughts and prayers appreciated of course.
Update 10:52a: Doctor was just in. Her white count is down to 20,000 and CRP down to 11 which is improvement. Nothing showing on the blood, urine, or spinal at this point. Just waiting to see if something grows. Here at least 48 hours and as long as she is still spiking high fevers we have to stay here.
Update 2/24: We are in here until tomorrow morning since she was spiking a fever yesterday afternoon and had a low grade one again last night. Doing much better though. WBC is now in the normal range, CRP is down to 7 (still high since 0.2 is the high end of the range), and all cultures still negative. Urine 100% negative for sure, and spinal and blood they do for 5 days, but we don't have to stay 5 days. If it stays negative, we will just not have a diagnosis for sure. Which I hate not knowing, but I'd rather have the unknown and her better
