Maybe, just maybe, the Crew someday will actually have their top two goalkeepers healthy enough for the preseason after a third straight year with at least one on the mend.
Incumbent William Hesmer missed most of the training because of a right ankle sprain suffered on the first day of camp Jan. 16 and didn't participate in full workouts until eight days ago.
"I'm waiting for the healing to take place and you can't force your body to heal quicker than it will," Hesmer told MLSsoccer.com on Thursday.
With Andy Gruenebaum seeing most of the preseason minutes, it's unlikely Hesmer will play Saturday's regular-season opener at Colorado. He might not even travel.
"It depends on how Will is feeling," Columbus head coach Robert Warzycha said. "We have to make a decision Friday."
Homegrown rookie Matt Lampson will be the backup if Hesmer is unavailable.
"I feel pretty good," Hesmer said. "I'm still a little winded. I'm not there yet. The strength is coming. I just have to make sure I let this thing heal so it's not lingering all season long.
"Hopefully in the next couple of weeks, if not sooner, Andy and I both will be ready for selection."
Unfortunately for the Crew, opening the season with questions mark in goal because of health concerns is nothing new. Gruenebaum missed the 2010 and 2011 preseasons because of hip issues and Hesmer spent most of last season's camp recovering from a right shoulder fracture.
Both netminders were inactive when Columbus lost the CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinals to Real Salt Lake, including 4-1 in the second leg in Utah after a 0-0 tie at home, with Ray Burse Jr. subbing on an emergency basis.
"[That] was probably the toughest part," Hesmer said. "Neither one of us was able to help us advance in a tough environment."
On the mend
Hesmer is not the only one in doubt for the Crew, as mainstay right midfielder Eddie Gaven is nursing a right ankle sprain. He's participated in some non-contact drills but has sat scrimmages the past two days.
Rookie Ethan Finlay will likely start if Gaven is not ready. He could be joined by defensive midfielder Kirk Urso to give Columbus two first-year players in the lineup.
"It's not ideal, but it's nothing new that we didn't do last year or did the year before," Warzycha said.
Also, Carlos Mendes (hamstring) is expected to be ruled out for Saturday, leaving a gap at left back if Shaun Francis needs to be replaced for some reason.
Central defender Danny O'Rourke or right back Sebastián Miranda could slide over, Eric Gehrig or Josh Williams might be options and even midfielder Bernardo Anor played there occasionally in preseason.
"I don't want to be scared to put somebody in that position," Warzycha said. "It's temporary. Probably anybody can do that job."

Sia, "1000 Forms of Fear" (RCA)
Since Sia's last album, 2010's top-notch "We Are Born," the performer has written songs for Beyonce, Rihanna and Katy Perry, co-starred on hits with David Guetta and Flo Rida, and achieved her first solo U.S. success with the Top 20 hit "Chandelier."
America's finally caught on to the ultra-talented Sia, and the Australian singer-songwriter stretches her boundaries even further on her sixth release, "1000 Forms of Fear."
Sia's album contains some of the eerie but addictive material she's known for. "Big Girls Cry" builds from a soft verse to a memorable chorus, and she repeats that song's refrain on the downtempo ballad, "Straight for the Knife," another highlight. "Eye of the Needle" is just one more example of her musical prowess.
Sia is heartbroken on the album, and she has mastered how to tell her story on the 14-track set. But the singer isn't also down: The anthemic "Chandelier" is one of the year's best pop songs, where Sia's scratchy and loud voice shines. The dance jam sounds like a tune Sia could have given to Rihanna or another contemporary pop act — but thankfully she didn't.
Other songs on "1000 Forms of Fear" are similar to the material Sia has crafted for others, from Christina Aguilera to Kylie Minogue to Britney Spears. But luckily the singer saves the best songs for herself.

Erik,I'm confused. Looks to me like that set of instructions is carried out in LR. What is SNS? Where does one get it? What makes it different and better than LR or PS for masking? How does one actually use it in comparison with how one uses brushes in LR and PS for the same purpose? Grateful if you could explain the context a bit.
In my limited knowledge of image processing it is perfectly possible to get maximum information from a single exposure - especially with LR4 - that will satisfy most photographers without going down the HDR route. Over exposure of three stops and underexposure of three can be rescued to provide a very good image that should mean the use of HR is only for the more zealous of processing stalwarts. Saves the expense of buying HDR programs
Quote ErikThis is not about rescuing images but about mapping a wide dynamic range into what can be shown on screen, a process called "tone mapping"UnquoteIn reality tone mapping is about rescuing images.
SNS is a very nice piece of software. I reviewed it for my series on HDR applications a couple of years ago. I would expect it to be even better now. Unless things have changes, it's more like Enfuse as it didn't take things into a 32 bit floating point space. I should take a look at the newest version to see the improvements.
Bart, the issue of the huge 32 bit TIFF files may be dealt with in the new DNG spec which allow it to use 32 bit float precision. Now all we need are ways to create 32 bit DNGs to see how file sizes compare. But Adobe has nothing to say about that yet.
The P2012 process will probably give similar results for highlights and shadows but it was not available then. What the P2012 process is missing is the control that is available by the use of masks.
I'm a bit confused. Don't other HDR programs like Nik's allow you to tone map single exposures? I guess the question is how does SNS compare?
Hi,Well, that's exactly how SNS-HDR differs from the rest. Even a seasoned HDR photographer and acclaimed Visual Effects Artist as Christian Bloch was almost gobsmacked at what SNS-HDR had to offer when he reviewed it for his upcoming (December 2012) book update.Cheers,Bart

ASIAGO, Italy (Dec. 21) - Ida Sargent (Orleans, VT) led the USA Saturday with a strong 10th in a classic sprint in Asiago. Four American women and two men qualifed for finals including Andy Newell (Shaftsbury, VT), who was fifth fastest. Only Sargent advanced past the quarterfinals. Russia's Nikita Kruikov took the men's win with Poland's Justyna Kowalczyk powering to victory for the women. A team sprint is set for Sunday.
Ida Sargent
Today was fun and a good confidence booster. I had felt like my fitness was stronger than my results were showing, so it was nice to get back in the top 10 today.
Kikkan Randall
I'm not happy with the result today. I wanted more. But I tried hard with what I had in the body today and it just wasn't quite enough. With classic for me there is a certain zone both with intensity and body position. If I get in that zone I am really strong but if I sit just below it I struggle. Today I was just below that optimal zone.
It was definitely a good course to lead from the front if you were able. I had an okay start but didn't carry my speed well across the flats. I pulled myself back up to the leaders a couple times on the uphills but was scrambling too much and not able to match their pace. As I started to get tired in the last double-poling sections I didn't do a very good job of putting my power into my poles. I was in the fastest heat so if I could have kept myself a little closer I might have been able to sneak through as lucky loser. Just didn't quite have the gas today.
Really great to see all my teammates ski so strong again today. It definitely helps my spirits when I didn't advance past the quarterfinals to see that USA still had some strong chances!
Matt Whitcomb, Women's Head Coach
Qualifying all four women is hugely successful for us, and that impressive start to the day was backed by Newell (qualifying 5th) and Hamilton (qualifying 26th) making the rounds.
The sprint course in Asiago proved to be a race of tactics and ski selection strategy, especially for the men. While a few women chose to double pole on skate gear, including the fastest qualifier and the fourth place finisher in the final, nearly all men double poled the course.
We had very good skis for both men and women, and decided to have our women stride the qualifier and heats and our men double pole everything. Looking back on our decision, we feel it was the right one for the team.

NAPLES, Italy (AP) -- Serie A leader Juventus drew 1-1 at Napoli in a tense top-of-the-table match Friday that could clear the way for the Turin club to win its 28th Italian league title.
Juventus remained six points ahead of its southern rival atop the standings with 11 rounds remaining and no more head-to-head meetings scheduled.
Defender Giorgio Chiellini put Juventus ahead with a header 10 minutes in at the San Paolo stadium and Switzerland midfielder Gokhan Inler equalized for Napoli in the 43rd.
Napoli had a great chance to win but Blerim Dzemaili missed a rebound from Marek Hamsik's shot in the 73rd with goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon left out of position. Fans had already gotten up to celebrate but Dzemaili's shot sailed wide.
Juventus had beaten Napoli in their previous two meetings after Napoli handed Juve its only loss last season in the Italian Cup final.
"This was a big match,'' Chiellini said. "We showed we can win the title. We deserve it. I think it was a fair result tonight.''
On Saturday, third-place Lazio visits fourth-place AC Milan. Lazio is 12 points behind Juve and Milan is 14 points back.
Juventus took control at the start, and Chiellini scored by redirecting a cross from Andrea Pirlo as he outjumped Uruguay defender Miguel Britos.
Juventus striker Mirko Vucinic then had two chances to make it a two-goal lead. First he missed a header wide, then Napoli goalkeeper Morgan De Sanctis made a difficult save with his boot to stop an on-target effort from the Montenegro international.
As Napoli began to settle down, the action shifted to the other end and Inler scored with a long shot that deflected in off the head of defender Leonardo Bonucci into the corner of the goal past outstretched Gianluigi Buffon.
In first-half added time, Napoli striker Edinson Cavani was shown a yellow card for elbowing Chiellini in the face after the defender had tugged his hair, and the squads walked off for halftime with the crowd seething that Chiellini had not been cautioned also.
After the match was over, Chiellini and Cavani shook hands and exchanged shirts.
"You saw what happened. It's up to the referee to decide what happens on the pitch then once the match is finished it's over,'' Chiellini said. "That's football.''
Two days ago, Chiellini was doubtful with a swollen ankle
"It still hurts,'' he said. "I need to thank all of our physiotherapists. I was just happy able to help the squad.''
After a slow start to the second half, Pirlo missed a dangerous free kick wide in the 55th and Buffon dove to punch away a long shot from Hamsik in the 58th.
Napoli then had a series of chances, highlighted by Dzemaili's miss and several other efforts from beyond the area.
The match was marred by fan violence before kickoff, with a window of the Juventus team bus broken by an object thrown by Napoli supporters as the squads arrived at the stadium.
No Juventus players or staff members were injured during the incident, the ANSA news agency reported.
Napoli fans also launched fireworks, flares and eggs at police, according to ANSA.
"There were moments of tension,'' Juventus general director Giuseppe Marotta told Italy's Sky TV. "Honestly, during the trip we were targeted with a bit of everything - pebbles, sizeable rocks, one big enough to break the window where (Ghana midfielder Kwadwo) Asamoah was sitting.
"These acts are deplorable and have little to do with sport,'' Marotta added.

Risk Management At Forefront As Farmers Face Uncertainty In 2013
One thing is certain for corn farmers in 2013, and that is the importance of risk management amid extreme uncertainty in yields and revenues, Purdue agricultural economist Chris Hurt says.
Three years of below-normal corn yields and ongoing drought in the western Corn Belt have the potential to drive corn prices to record highs in the coming year, but a return to more normal yields nationwide could send corn prices on their largest-ever year-to-year decline. The wide range of possibilities makes growers vulnerable and emphasizes the need for a variety of risk management tactics.
"The key to risk management is to protect against the potential bad outcomes, but still leave opportunities to capitalize on potential good outcomes," Hurt said.
The first way to do that is with crop insurance. Farmers can choose from a variety of coverage types and levels that offer financial protection from low yields and prices. What makes crop insurance so desirable is that it doesn't limit the revenue a grower can receive if yields or prices are high.
"Crop insurance is hugely important," Hurt said. "Sometimes growers are hesitant to sign up because the premiums have to be paid regardless of whether coverage is used. But I think a lot more people understand the value after the drought this year. If not for crop insurance, it would be depression in many farming communities right now."
Marketing decisions also play a role in risk management. Many farmers forward-contract portions of expected crop production to lock in forward prices. But while forward contracts protect growers from falling prices, they also prevent gain if prices increase between the times contracts are made and when crops are harvested.
"Growers should forward-contract only a portion so that if prices go up they still have money to gain," Hurt said. "It's common to forward-contract 25-30 percent of expected production for new crop delivery."
Farmers who do forward-contract also can consider purchasing an out-of-the-money call option against their forward contracts. The option allows the opportunity for farmers to gain revenue if prices go up after contracts are made.
An example, Hurt said, is a farmer who opts to sell corn for $6 per bushel in a forward contract. By purchasing a call option on futures at $7.50 per bushel, the farmer could add $2.50 a bushel to their $6 if corn prices ended up moving to $10 because of drought.
"The call option costs some money but provides upside opportunity in case prices move sharply to the up side," he said.
The highly anticipated 2013 Farm Bill could provide farmers with additional revenue protection.
Both House and Senate versions of the bill stop direct payments to farmers but instead withhold that money to give farmers an enhanced safety net in the form of 8-10 percent more financial protection.
For example, if a farmer elected a crop insurance coverage level of 70 percent and the federal government offered an additional 8-10 percent, farm finances would be protected at 78-80 percent.
"The foundation of risk management in 2013 would still be crop insurance," Hurt said. "But this could add another modest layer of protection and build a little more confidence."

One of our favorite columnists, Bret Stephens of the Jerusalem Post, suggests that three great political parties are in danger of dying. The three are the Democratic party of the U.S., the Conservative party of Great Britain, and the Labor party of Israel. Stephens does not predict the demise of any of the parties, although he sees Labor's as a real possibility. But he does insist that to remain competitive, they "will either have to change radically, as Britian's Labour Party did under Tony Blair's leadership, effectively becoming a new party, or circumstances will [have to] change radically in their favor."
In my view, these parties may be in less danger than Stephens supposes. Out-of-power parties mostly just need to wait for the in-power party to stumble. However, the one thing no party can afford is to be on the wrong side of a seminal issue for very long. Of Stephens' three parties, Labor in Israel is in the greatest danger because it inflicted "Oslo" on Israel and has remained on the wrong side of the issue for the decade since. Here in the U.S., the issue of how to respond to September 11 could be the Democrats' downfall, but there is still time for the Democrats to get this issue right (though probably not in 2004) or for the issue to recede in importance if President Bush is highly successful over the next few years. In England, I see no issue that is likely to sink the Conservatives in the long-term. For them, I suspect, it's mostly a matter of finding an effective leader and waiting for their turn.

Black jockeys once dominated the Kentucky Derby, winning 15 of the first 28 titles between 1875 and 1902. They were former slaves and their sons – a vestige of colonial times, when planters owned both horses and riders. Post–Civil War, they were the country's best riders, but the narrow window opened by Reconstruction was slammed shut by Jim Crow. Even in Northern cities, white jockeys and officials ran black riders off the track, whitewashing their legacy. Churchill Downs was completely segregated throughout the 1950s.
On May 4, 29-year-old jockey Kevin Krigger looks to reverse that history at Churchill Downs, riding Goldencents, an early top-10 favorite trained by Doug O'Neill (who trained last year's winner). Krigger is just the second black jockey to compete in the Derby since 1921, and the first from the U.S. Virgin Islands.
"Years ago, this business was all black riders," says Tom Knust, Krigger's agent. "Now, it's a rarity. He's overcome a lot of obstacles to get where he is."
Indeed, Krigger has chased one of the unlikeliest dreams from the tiny island of St. Croix to horse racing's biggest stage. His passion developed early – he took his first ride at age five, when he snuck out the back door, jumped on a neighbor's horse, and took off at full speed.
"In the Virgin Islands, horses are pets, like dogs or cats in the U.S.," Krigger says. "Our neighbors didn't know I'd be taking theirs for a ride. My great-grandfather saw me fly past him and couldn't believe it."
When he was 10, Krigger's parents gave him a mare of his own. He challenged other kids to races on the beach and down dirt roads. At home, he'd balance his saddle on an arm of the sofa and pretend to ride. And each year, he'd watch the Kentucky Derby on TV and imagine winning. Though Krigger is aware of the ugly side of horse racing's history and the role he could play in returning black jockeys to prominence, he doesn't want it to distract from his performance. "I'm glad as an African-American jockey to be in this position after so long," Krigger says. "But that's not what's going to decide the race."
What might is Krigger's commitment. He gets to the barn at six each morning to exercise horses; when he isn't racing, he trains on a mechanical horse called an Equicizer.
"This young man works his butt off," says Dave Kenney, who co-owns Goldencents with a group that includes Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino.
He also shows flashes of swagger. The first time he rode Goldencents, Krigger won by seven lengths, almost setting a track record – but he stood up in the saddle and pointed to the crowd at the wire. "We missed the record by a hundredth of a second," Kenney says, laughing. "After that race, I thought, 'What do we have here?'"
Krigger can be forgiven for a little unbridled exuberance. His road to the Derby has been long, from his days as a teenager on St. Croix, walking two hours each way to the island's only racetrack, to his early years in the U.S., where he arrived at 17, traveling to bottom-barrel tracks all over the country trying to attract a trainer or agent. He has worked to keep his weight down (at 5-foot-6, his ideal racing weight is 112 pounds) and fractured his spine in a nasty spill in December 2007. Yet he believed his time would come. "I always felt like a big-circuit rider," he says. "Goldencents is the proof in the pudding."
Knust agrees: "This is his biggest horse to date, and he rides with confidence.
"Kevin's wanted to be on a horse all his life," he continues. "He's just had a love for it. Black, brown, or white, I don't think it matters."

DNR Secretary Stepp response to call for replacement of deer management staff
By Cathy Stepp, Secretary, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources
On Tuesday, we received the Wisconsin deer report from Deer Trustee, Dr. James Kroll and his team Dr. David Guynn and Dr. Gary Alt. This comprehensive report included a series of recommendations that will take some time to review. While changes won't be immediate, my staff has already rolled up their sleeves and started their review, and are planning for how the public will be involved in the next steps.
Within that report, on a number of occasions, Dr. Kroll and his team applauded the integrity, commitment and dedication of our wildlife management staff. During this very intensive review of our state's deer program, our deer program staff cooperated, kept an open mind, and showed a great deal of professionalism. A review of anyone's work is never an easy thing, but I am very proud of the way they represented themselves throughout this process.
Less than a day after it was released, a press release was issued calling for the replacement of the DNR's Big Game Management Unit. This is not the time for such demands.
As I have said repeatedly, each day I am impressed with work of what I feel is the finest group of natural resources professionals in the nation. Their dedication, commitment and passion for their work are unprecedented. I am proud to be associated with them. Regardless of staffing challenges, they roll up their sleeves every day and do their job with integrity and a sense of servitude.
Regarding our big game team, I am proud to say, as did Dr. Kroll, that we are already moving in a direction of better public involvement, reconnecting with hunters and doing more listening and recognizing the importance of both sociology and biology in our decision making process. This past year we began down this path, and I know our team is working on even more ways to improve the public's role in deer management decisions. But we all agree…we can do better.
Now, thanks to Dr. Kroll's report, we have an additional tool to guide our decision and actions. We want the same thing that Dr. Kroll and his team wants – which is to have the best managed deer herd in the country. We see this as an opportunity.
Our message to staff when we came to the DNR was clear, we need to better engage our customers, involve them and be responsive. Dr. Kroll has a similar message and I know that message is resonating through our management team and our staff.
We are not afraid to face recommendations and critiques that are contained in the report and adjust accordingly. We are just now getting a chance to dig into the report, so we now need to extend a courtesy to allow my staff to complete their review and develop a plan of action. This is not a report to that will sit on the shelf. Governor Walker and I are committed to following through. If we need to make changes in the way we do business, and the public supports these changes, we'll make them.
Wisconsin is known as a destination for great deer hunting, which is a testament to the commitment and professionalism of our deer managers. We look forward to working with Dr. Kroll and his team to make Wisconsin deer hunting even better. Our commitment is to make Wisconsin the leader in deer management.
I want to thank Dr. Kroll and his team for their efforts. All along we've had the same goal, to make sure Wisconsin leads the nation in deer management and that our rich deer hunting tradition remains strong.
[EDITOR'S ADVISORY: The Wisconsin Deer Report can be found on the Wisconsin Department of Administration website.

Nashua expo invites you to get in on small-business actionBy BARBARA TAORMINA
Union Leader Correspondent
March 07. 2014 9:53PM
Mark Constantino describes his new business, My Cure Cloud, as the "next best up-and-coming version of the Geek Squad."
Any small business, organization or individual who is stumped by a problem with a computer system, mobile device, a router or printer can contact My Cure Cloud, and a member of the tech support team will diagnose the problem for free and fix it remotely for a one-time fee.
My Cloud Cure is part of a network of small businesses, community groups and nonprofits organizations that will present their products and services Wednesday at the 2014 TD Bank Community & Small Business Expo at the Radisson Hotel in Nashua.
The expo, which is free and open to the public, will run from 5 to 7:30 p.m. In addition to small businesses, this year's event will highlight Nashua's social services, arts and culture and education.
For Constantino, the expo is a chance to tell anyone who has ever stared helplessly at a "blue screen of death" that there is a local company in Nashua that can help.
"We're also a resource for small businesses that don't have a lot of money to spare for IT services," he said.
The expo, which is being touted by the Greater Nashua Chamber of Commerce, is a chance for the community to see what types of services and products are being offered by local businesses and organizations. For businesses, it's an opportunity to network and possibly establish valuable connections.Constantino is hoping to expand the services offered through My Cloud Cure with partnerships with other tech service providers such as website developers or graphic designers.
And for up-and-coming entrepreneurs, the expo offers a look at some of the resources available that might help launch and grow a new business.
Prior to the public portion of the expo, Marianne Jones, executive director of the Women's Fund of New Hampshire, will lead a one-hour workshop on strategies for optimizing grant applications. The workshop, which is geared toward nonprofit organizations, will cover where to look for funding and grant writing do's and don'ts. The workshop runs from 4 to 5 p.m.
For information about attending or exhibiting at the expo, contact Christina Hendicks at the Greater Nashua Chamber of Commerce, 881-8333.

RealNetworks Agrees To Pay $4.5 Million In Legal Fees To Hollywood Over RealDVD; Gives Up
from the something's-wrong-with-the-system dept
So what did Hollywood accomplish here? It shut down a software product that allows people to backup the DVDs they legally own -- not to distribute them. In the meantime, of course, there are a bunch of DVD ripping programs out there that have no such restrictions. In other words, Hollywood's brilliant legal strategists just pushed anyone who wants to back up their movies to use solutions that make it easier for them to share those movies with others. It just made sure that such products will always be underground, rather than where the industry can actually work together with them. Congrats, guys, for killing yet another tech product you didn't like, just because it made your products more valuable.

SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — Country Singer Billy Currington is being sued by a Georgia tour boat captain who pressed criminal charges against him last year.
Currington was sentenced to five years' probation in September after pleading no contest to a charge of abuse of an elderly person. Prosecutors say he chased and threatened 70-year-old Charles Harvey Ferrelle after his boat passed Currington's home on Tybee Island.
The Savannah Morning News (http://bit.ly/1mCgYCN) reports that Ferrelle filed a lawsuit Tuesday saying Currington mocked and libeled him on a fan website two days before his plea. The newspaper reports that in the lawsuit, Currington is accused of writing that Ferrelle "ran like a scared rabbit" and hallucinated.
Currington's criminal attorney, Alex Zipperer, tells The Associated Press that he's not involved in the lawsuit. A spokeswoman for Currington's record label did not immediately return messages.

Buying guides
Interior paint buying guide
For a simple way to update a room, you can't beat a lick of paint. Whether you're putting your stamp on your new home, or are renovating a room that needs some TLC, interior paint can transform any space in the house in a few hours.
There are lots of paints available for different surfaces and it can be a bit daunting if you aren't sure what all the different types, finishes and features mean. We are going to talk you through the ins and outs of interior paint so that you can buy the right paint with confidence.
Questions to ask before you begin
Which room in the house are you painting?
What goes on in the room you are planning to paint? Maybe you are painting a kitchen or bathroom that would benefit from a moisture-resistant paint. Some rooms might need an extra hard-wearing paint which can be wiped down and cleaned such as hallways, landings or kid's bedrooms. Finding the right paint isn't just about which colour you pick. We have different types of paint designed for use in different rooms. By choosing the paint that is specially designed for the type of room you are painting, you will get the best end result.
What type of surface are you painting?
There are different types of paint for different surface materials. As well as a comprehensive selection of emulsion paints for walls and ceilings, we have a wide range of specialist paint including ones that are designed for wood furniture, brick walls, and tiles. Choosing the right paint for the right material will ensure a longer-lasting result and the best coverage.
What kind of look are you going for?
Maybe your home has quite a traditional look and would suit a subtle, matt effect paint. Or perhaps you have a more contemporary style that would look great with a satin or metallic finish paint. When selecting paint, think about what you want the final look to be, so that you can choose the correct finish as well as the right colour.
How much time do you have to complete your decorating project?
If you need to get your painting job done quickly, we have a wide range of quick-drying options that will help you get a whole room decorated in a few hours. We have quick dry wall paint, primers, and wood and metal paint to help you make the most of your time whatever you are painting.
What state is the surface in?
Some of our interior paints can be applied directly to the surface. Others may require a bit of preparation before you can begin painting. Perhaps you are painting a freshly plastered surface or previously untreated wood, or maybe you need to fill in some holes or sand down an uneven surface. We have paints and primers for all sorts of surfaces that will help you achieve a nice, even finish.

The Telegraph has an interesting article on the current status of al Qaeda:
For several years after the terrorist attacks on September 11, [bin Laden and al Qaeda's "core" group] were engaged in little else than avoiding capture and fleeing the American-led offensive in Afghanistan.
Today, by contrast, they are probably secure enough to give strategic direction to al-Qa'eda cells across the world.
The Telegraph's reporter, David Blair, says that the view of al Qaeda as a "franchise" operation is probably outdated, and that the organization's leaders are now trying to take a more direct role in events. Their most significant success appears to have been the incorporation of the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC), an Algerian terrorist group, into al Qaeda.
That success, such as it is, comes in the context of a lot of failures. Many of al Qaeda's top operatives have been killed or captured. Blair notes, further, that toppling the Saudi royal family and General Musharraf in Pakistan are high priorities for bin Laden:
British officials say al-Qa'eda's decision to attack Saudi Arabia was a major strategic error. After the network carried out a series of attacks on foreign and economic targets in 2003 and 2004, the Kingdom's security forces responded with ruthless efficiency.
At least 2,000 suspects have been arrested – 172 were rounded up in a single operation last month. In Pakistan, Gen Musharraf clings to power, despite al-Qa'eda's best efforts to assassinate him. *** So the "apostate" general is still in office and the Saudi royal family, who have been bin Laden's sworn enemies since they invited US troops into the Kingdom in 1990 and stripped him of his Saudi citizenship, are probably more secure today than they were in 2001.
Elsewhere, al-Qa'eda's efforts to subvert Indonesia, the largest Muslim nation in the world, have been successfully countered. Jemaah Islamiyah, the Indonesian group responsible for the bombing of a nightclub in Bali in 2002, has been crippled by hundreds of arrests and its spiritual leader, Abu Bakar Bashir, is now behind bars.
Neither America nor Western Europe has suffered a mass-casualty terrorist attack since the London bombings almost two years ago. Financing terrorism has become harder and cooperation between the world's intelligence agencies is closer than ever.
Blair concludes that the war on terror has probably "reached a stalemate," with "[n]either side … close to achieving their goals." Perhaps, but this assessment seems to charitable to bin Laden and his fellow refugees in Waziristan. While it may be true that the final extermination of al Qaeda is a long way off, what we have is a situation where al Qaeda wants to inflict massive damage on the West, and the West wants to prevent the infliction of such damage. It seems to me that as long as successful, large-scale terrorist attacks aren't occurring, the contest is hardly a draw.

A pulsar discovered last April is helping astronomers measure the magnetic field surrounding our galaxy's central black hole.
The supermassive black hole hiding in Milky Way's core just got a new neighbor.After decades of searching, astronomers discovered a young pulsar in the galactic center a few months ago. Now Ralph Eatough (Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy, Germany) and his colleagues are putting the pulsar to work spying on the behemoth next door. In this week's Nature, they announce that the strong magnetic field they find surrounding the black hole might put the beast on a permanent diet.
Like L. A. smog, thick clouds of gas and dust hang over our galaxy's downtown, hiding millions of stars from view. Only very long and very short wavelengths penetrate the veil. A flash of X-rays did just that on April 24th (which by cosmic coincidence also happens to be my birthday). Follow-up observations showed X-ray and radio-wave pulses arriving every 3.76 seconds, confirming that astronomers had discovered a bona fide pulsar in the galactic center.
Such pulsars shouldn't be uncommon — theorists think there ought to be more than a thousand within spitting distance of the black hole — but somewhat mysteriously, this pulsar is the first find after a three-decade hunt.
The emission from this pulsar, named PSR J1745–2900, is almost all linearly polarized, meaning the wavelengths tend to oscillate along a single direction. That's an advantage astronomers can use, because magnetic fields between the pulsar and Earth twist the waves as they travel, rotating the direction that they oscillate. The effect is known as Faraday rotation.So, measure the twist, measure the magnetic field? Well, almost. How much the waves rotate also depends on the amount of hot, ionized gas between the pulsar and Earth. And that's a little harder to measure since, surprisingly enough, we don't know exactly where the pulsar is.
Though the pulsar was found just 3 arcseconds away from the black hole on the plane of the sky, the two could still be quite far apart in space. "[Distance] is always a problem for pulsars," explains Eatough. "We cannot get accurate [direct] distance measurements without a parallax." And parallax is impossible to measure for a pulsar so far away.
So Eatough's team used indirect measurements instead. For example, ionized gas between the pulsar and Earth causes pulses at lower frequencies to lag slightly behind pulses at higher frequencies. This so-called dispersion measure is higher than that measured for any other known pulsar and suggests the pulsar lies within 33 light-years of the black hole.
Eatough and his colleagues also compared the pulsar's location to two nearby pockets of ionized gas. In front of the black hole, hot gas glows bright in the X-rays; in back, a cooler gas stream emits radio waves. One or both of these gas pockets could affect the pulsar's light as it travels through. The gas stream (technically known as the Northern Arm of Sagittarius A West) is especially well studied, and its polarized emission is far more rotated than the pulsar's. So the pulsar probably lies in front of the cooler gas stream.
That means it's the hot gas that twists the pulsar's polarized light, gas that will ultimately become the black hole's meal. Eatough's team estimates the magnetic field threading the ionized gas is roughly 8 milligauss. That's about 1,000 times stronger than the fields crisscrossing the rest of the galaxy.
A strong magnetic field would have important consequences for how the black hole feeds. Although there's enough gas in the black hole's neighborhood to feed it the equivalent of 30 Earths every year, only 0.003 Earth's worth of gas makes it past the event horizon. A strong magnetic field might help the black hole diet by holding the gas back and preventing it from crossing the point of no return.
Fred Baganoff (MIT), who measured the hot gas reservoir surrounding the black hole a decade ago, cautions that a strong magnetic field isn't necessary to explain why the black hole fasts. Despite gravity's strong pull, it's harder than you might think to swallow matter away into eternity. Much of the gas might never reach the black hole, surging outwards instead in a wind or a jet.
"I think we need theoretical studies now," explains Heino Falcke (Radboud University, the Netherlands). "We have the density of the material [around the black hole], its temperature, and the strength of the magnetic field. That's the only accretion disk of all accretion disks where you can say that. Now based on the observations, we can say, look guys, . . . this is what you should start with, now tell us what comes out of your simulations."

Unarmed Aussie police to help secure Ukraine site
CANBERRA, Australia (AP) -- Unarmed Australian police will be sent to the site in rebel-held territory in eastern Ukraine where the Malaysian airliner came down as part of a Dutch-led police force to secure the area and help recover victims' remains, Australia's prime minister said Sunday.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott said that by using unarmed police, Ukraine's Parliament will not need to ratify the deployment as it would if the security force were to be armed.
"This is a risky mission. There's no doubt about that," Abbott told reporters. "But all the professional advice that I have is that the safest way to conduct it is unarmed, as part of a police-led humanitarian mission."
But hours later, plans to send Australian police in on Monday were postponed due to reports of fighting in the area of the crash site.
Alexander Hug, the deputy head of a monitoring team from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, said it would be too dangerous for the unarmed mission to travel to the area from its current location in the rebel-held city of Donetsk. It was not immediately clear where precisely clashes had broken out.
Abbott's spokeswoman Jane McMillan confirmed that the Australian police deployment had been postponed due to fighting. She did not say when it was expected to proceed.
Earlier, Australian Federal Police Commissioner Tony Negus said that 11 Australian police would initially be sent Monday into the debris field, which covers 50 square kilometers (20 square miles).
Negus said the Dutch police also would be unarmed. He did not say how many Dutch police would be sent.
The pro-Russia separatists have been blamed for shooting down Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 with a surface-to-air missile on July 17, killing all 298 people aboard, including 37 Australians.
Negus said assessments would soon be made on how many police are needed to secure the crash site. There currently are 170 Australian Federal Police personnel in Ukraine waiting to be deployed, he said.
The first priority of the international police force is to enable searchers to recover human remains, Abbott said. But searchers will also conduct a forensic examination of the area in the hope that those responsible for shooting down the Boeing 777 can be brought to justice.
Abbott said he expected police would only spend two or three weeks at the crash site.
"This is a volatile situation," he said. "This is contested ground and we don't want to be there any longer than is absolutely necessary."

The Hannibal Arts Council's 36th annual Autumn Historic Folklife Festival will begin with a children's parade at 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 20, on North Main Street. The folklife festival will continue until 5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 20, and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 21.
The Hannibal Arts Council's 36th annual Autumn Historic Folklife Festival will begin with a children's parade at 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 20, on North Main Street. The folklife festival will continue until 5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 20, and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 21.
Children will line up for the parade at 9:40 a.m. Oct. 20 at the HAC, 105 S. Main St. It will be led by Sam Walker playing bagpipes and members of the Glee Club Kids of Hannibal. In case of rain, the children's parade will be at 1 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 21.
The two-day folklife festival will feature 20 food booths and more than 100 exhibits by artisans and craftsmen, demonstrating and selling handmade traditional arts and crafts. Fourteen exhibitors are making their local festival debut.
HAC Executive Director Michael Gaines noted the farmer's market area on Center Street at North Main is very popular, and will be filled with booths where fall produce items will be offered.
A special children's area at Hill and Main streets will be coordinated by the Hannibal Elementary LEAP Program.
"Traditional tunes, food cooked on wood stoves and cider fresh from the apple press" are among the festival features that offer "a warm atmosphere for everyone," Gaines said, noting that "the 1800s-themed festival has been voted favorite festival in the area, consistently draws thousands of visitors from the Midwest region."
Local organizations offer the same festival food each year, Gaines said, and there are no new food booths this year, because "It is such a good fund-raiser for the groups doing it, it is rare for one to not return."
In addition to attracting people from a wide area, Gaines said, "we are excited that one of the big riverboats is going to be docked in Hannibal on Sunday (Oct. 21), and the passengers can attend the festival," and also, people attending the festival can see the riverboat.
A special festival event will be at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 21, when First Christian Church hosts an old-time church service at North Main and Bird streets. This is prior to the 10 a.m. festival opening so the exhibitors may also attend.
Gaines noted that this year the HAC requested local artist Steve Ayers to create a special mug for this 36th festival. The mugs will be sold at the HAC drink booths, where apple cider, coffee, root beer and bottles of water will be available. The mugs will cost $15, filled with a drink. Proceeds will benefit the HAC.
In addition to attending the festival the public may become involved by volunteering in two-hour or three-hour shifts at the HAC drink booths. On Thursday there were open shifts on both days, Gaines said. To volunteer, call the HAC at 573) 221-6545 or email email@example.com.
One volunteer has been helping since the first year, Gaines said. This is local artist Len Moss, who will be serving drinks again this year, at age 95.
Gaines was pleased to report all the entertainers are based in the Hannibal area. The Never Ready For Prime Time Players is composed of local musicians performing as a new group, he said. Also, Judy Schmidt, a hammered dulcimer player, is a former national champion hammer dulcimer player.
The entertainment schedule includes the following events.
Saturday, Oct. 20 (festival hours 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.):
• 10 a.m. – Children's parade

This lawsuit has never been about the "n" word. It is to address Ms. Deen's patterns of disrespect and degradation of people that she deems to be inferior. I am a white woman, but I could no longer tolerate her abuse of power as a business owner, nor her condonation of Mr. Hiers' despicable day-to-day behavior. I am what I am, and I am a human being that cares about discrimination in the workplace. In part, in this circumstance, I have to be a voice for those who are too afraid to use theirs.

Thank you again to Marie, MarieTV, Sally, and the whole community here.
Oh. I'm in, finally. I'm an architect.
Fascinating way to study oneself, isn't it?
Well Ive done the test and Ive come out as an Architect: Prestige and Mystique.
Not sure how I feel about this, especially the prestige part….so Im going to sit on it for a while…
Wow! Loved this so much:
"If you're not creating a negative response from somebody, you're not fascinating to anybody."
After recently questioning my business strategy because of a a few negative comments, this was so encouraging and perfect timing. Thanks Sally!
Can't wait to do the test to find out my Fascination Advantage. (Thanks Marie!)
And the personality trait I could should leverage more: Playfulness!
Well I just loved this video. Thank you for permission, validation, acceptance to ROCK MY CIRCLES WORLD and screen out the rest! Love it! I am the get in action, inspiring, there is hope girl! Thank you again. Like minded people that I can relate to are the fuel for my fire!
Hi Marie and Sally
Great subject today. Like the part of "no negative" response that you must be boring. It can be unnerving to get negative feedback, but now I know I am churning up the waters of passion for what I believe in. Shall have to pop on over and take the test. Lots of thoughts going on in my gray matter and shall have to see what happens when the dust settles. It is the spark that drives us forward.
one word – fascinating! a friend turned me on to your website and now i am turning everyone i know onto you, marie — thank you for sharing your gift with the world, especially me.
done all the tests — disc, myers, etc….this is the first time somebody said i need to be MORE me….i'm definitely passionate and somewhat of a rebel….will have to read up more on sally's site to see how to best be ME to serve the world.
you only live once! at my house we buy 4 different kinds of ice cream! life is too short not to enjoy it!
This is one of my favorite episodes, and that is saying a LOT! I'm so curious what my "type" will be. I don't consider myself particularly fascinating, so I'd really like to highlight my strengths. I'm kind of vanilla on the outside, but pastachio on the inside! The problem is, others mostly see only vanilla. 😉
Ordering the book asap to! Thanks to both of you for all you do! Karen
I am a catalyst! My goal is to become more proud of who I am and not try to "cover" my creativity and spontaneous behavior. This was a great Marie-TV – two great women!! Love it 🙂
R ick Potts is no atheist-evolutionist-Darwinist. That often comes as a surprise to the faith communities he works with as head of the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History Human Origins Program in Washington, D.C.
Raised Protestant — with, he likes to say, "an emphasis on the 'protest'" — the paleoanthropologist spends his weekends singing in a choir that sings both sacred and secular songs. At 18, he became a conscientious objector to the Vietnam War, because he felt it was antithetical to people trying to understand each other. In college, he studied comparative religion. "I wanted to understand that universality of human beings," he explains, framed by the early hominin skull casts that line his office on the National Mall. "How do you understand all of human beings as a totality, rather than the divisions between people?"
That's why, for him, human evolution is the perfect topic to break down entrenched barriers between people in an increasingly polarized, politicized world.
Potts first joined the Smithsonian Institution, the United States' vast network of public museums and research centers, back in 1985, and he knew he wanted to create a new kind of human evolution exhibit — one that went beyond phylogeny and taxonomy. The hall's lofty title — "What Does It Mean To Be Human?" is no accident. "Ours is the only one to ask that larger question," he says of the installation.
Still, by 2010 Potts says he realized that the only people coming to the exhibit were those who had no quarrel with the science of evolution. In order to reach the more than 100 million Americans who still question that science, he would have to take the evidence — carefully packaged — to them.
Such was the origin of the Human Origins Traveling Exhibit , which wrapped up last year. The idea was to bring key parts of the permanent installation in the nation's capital to diverse communities, including ones that were rural, religious, remote. At least 10 of the 19 sites the Smithsonian visited were deemed "challenging" — places where the researchers suspected that evolution might still be a contentious subject, for religious or other reasons. The exhibit would be accompanied by a team of clergy members and scientists handpicked by the Smithsonian, and they would engage the public and local clergy in conversations about this fraught topic.
Love this episode! Great reminder that the message will never reach your target people unless you can "fascinate" them enough to read/listen/watch. Thanks so much from a MBCert.Life Coach wanting to help people dump the stressed life. xo
Hi Marie, I'm deep into B-School right now and have been devouring your videos. I wanted to share that last night my boyfriend watched this one with me and was completely captivated! He has been on board from the beginning but now he sees what its all about! Thank you and thank you Sally for being so fascinating! I know my passion and creativity are what attracts people to me, along with my ability to adapt and problem solve. And I'm looking forward to letting those qualities shine in my life and business as a massage therapist!
I am vivacious and intoxicating…I make people feel juicy from the first meeting…I teach people to think new thoughts and that is a process i call Mindshifting. I'm an inspirational speaker and an actress…I use my skills as a vibrational energy healer to bring out the story that people DESIRE to tell about their lives.
My intuition said "I am the catalyst", my test results said "You are the catalyst".
I am looking forward to applying the information provided by the test results. I find Sally's work remarkably fascinating. Marie, you too!
Thank you for an excellent chunk of information.
Best, Tam I Am
Man! Why am I so concerned with being vanilla (having everyone like get me)….this is crazy-talk! From now on my focus is listening for what people really want in their love lives and showing them it's possible! Thanks Sally Marie xoxo I'm so bummed I missed the opportunity to do the test!
Marie, I was moved to comment on this episode. Sometimes we know there's that something special we feel inside, but due to the judgement of others, it's hard to own it when you wear several hats in the world of business. I report on business as a journalist, but my gift is my voice and teaching meditation and yoga. My passion lies there and I've finally owned it. Amazing things have happened. It's challenging letting go of what always worked – status quo – in favor of embodying true vocation. But I'm in. Great episode! @judymartin8
Love, Love, Love it! Gives me the confidence to be TOTALLY me in my business. Thanks!
By far this interview is one of my favourites! I'm Like Sally, my archetype is also the Catylist… Innovations Rebellion through challenging the status quo. Step it up.. I love this!
'The world is not changed by people who sort of care' brought tears to my eyes and reminded me why I'm in this!Taquería Auténtica
Thanks Mike and staff. Where has Authentica gone?...If you can catch the truck well then your in luck but as for "authenticity" in this stretch of broad your stuck cause I can assure you PrimeTime are not Italian an Stamnas original mexican chef Angelo who prepared Greek cuisine for Monclair's Trust Fund Trendies since it's inception finally had enough of Alex and Angela's Greek slaveology and now works for my former bosses at Primetime for way less Dinero...Yes Angelo's deep alright but I digress.Just how authentic was Tacoria's Cheeko(phil)and the man(mike) act with Lisa slinging tacos...gotta mention that silky haired short Crisco equipped gypsy server helping out in the kitchen rolling those lemons over carnitas...such a cute little wattle from a fat bottomed brown eyed girl who's sexy stutter made my tightest ponytail unfurl.Lisa's toosh can best be described like the steps to the flight of stairs on a fishing boat. It can't be the Jewish owned Mastrianos butcher store life partners across the street always smiling while grabbing their meat who try so very hard to make they're proud customers call ahead of time then wait in line,good luck boys!!!(can you slice it thinner please)cause theres always a crowd.Dont come in late once the machines are clean...just ask Chris or Ron who own that German ice cream shop on the corner now turned Soprano Saturday tour bus spectacle where all the out of town bennies kill the relaxed quiet cbs. FM laid back chill while eating a pricey greasy cheese burger that never has enough frys on the side.Just dont walk in with Rita.Leave her across the streeta.Would ya like some nuts wit-dat? That only leaves a few other places that are truly Authentica:The Chinese Shop, Boonsong Thai and the The new Jamaican "Mo Bay Cafe" let's not leave out Yogi Baby Buddha's crosswalk lotto shop. He'd put a New York Times on the side for everyone but Izzy.I delivered to him once.He demanded a discount and didn't even tip...class act alright.Sure it was just across Watchung ave but when 30plus tons of red siren gets tired of being parked at Shop-rite an whales by disrupting the normal flow of motorist and pedestrians causing everyone to cringe there's always a risk factor. I can't count the thousands of Red Checkered Wax Paper Football Flyers I whipped out of my passenger side window that strewn along the sidewalks of town late at night after closing shop.I won't forget the dozens of free quesadilIas received from Tacoria over my three year run at Primetime delivering to the absolute cheapest (dodging eye contact like they're a cool act.)scrub-hub tippers to touch the screen of a smart phone. I admired how Mike was always honest and told me exactly what he thought of the songs I wrote while on the clock at Primetime...Titles such as Hot tattoo Girl/Caught in the Rain/Sexy and Stuff/Ice on my Tailpipe/Canopy Road/Fancy girl...just to name a few are the magic that made leaving a well established successful pizza shop called AJs in Butler-(Thanks Izzy)well worth coming to Bloomfield after all. Had a blast singing for Donna and the "Salon Gossip Crew"Franky too!!Those little hotties!!!Had fun flirting with Rosemarie's rosie cheeks at Brookdale Wine Country too thus turning her gray skies blue.I'm gonna miss "Blend's"beautiful Luz,Lil Hudson and yes even Cory the hit man too. Here's a shout out to Bloomfields Finest for not being so concerned about collecting revenue as much as staying warm on the coldest winter night of my life 2/15/15 by not issuing me a summons or even noticing my red honda insight running continously for 7 hours just to keep the pizza sign illuminated which by the way is unlawful after 15

gift for poluting the frigid night air was a four inch icesickle formed by Jack Frost while running a cold to touch tailpipe that became the inspiration for a travel-safe fanciful ending Christmas song I penned titled "Ice on my Tailpipe" Oh well I got to get home to my baby's arms she's worried half to death.I hope this storm it doesn't last too long if it's true what the weatherman said.The roads are icy and the sky is dark as you know I'm missing you so but I'll be home before the break of dawn cause it's you that I need to hold but there is ice on my tailpipe and Jack Frost is nipping my nose.I saw ice on my tailpipe I never thought it get that cold.I gotta get home to my baby's arms cause its her that I need to hold but there's ice on my tailpipe.I'd better take it nice and slow. The studio is calling and its time to fly away but not before leaving you with an original business edicit quote for the day: "Speak the language of the money you want to make...even if only for"business sake."p.s.

SCHLADMING, Austria (AP) — The U.S. Ski Team says Lindsey Vonn has torn ligaments in her right knee and broken a bone in a crash Tuesday at the world championships.
The team says Vonn will have surgery and will miss the rest of this season but is expected to return for the 2014 Sochi Olympics.
The team says Vonn tore her anterior and medial cruciate ligaments in her right knee and fractured a bone in her lower leg.
Vonn lost balance on her right leg while landing a jump, flipped in the air and landed on her backside as she smashed through a gate before coming to a halt.
The four-time overall World Cup winner and 2010 Olympic downhill champion received medical treatment on the slope for 12 minutes before being taken by helicopter to a hospital in Schladming.

I don't know what was wrong, at first i got at least an item inserted, with <null> values (=> my own value inserts failed), later i got various errors and no success at all. I don't want to post any specific code here, think i don't have original version at all, but it still interests me, so i'd like to see simple working list-view. Before i dig myself into net, has anybody seen kind of tutorial on this?

Few topics are more controversial than immigration reform. While Congress might slowly be taking on this hot-button issue, state lawmakers are tackling it now.
Few topics are more controversial than immigration reform. While Congress might slowly be taking on this hot-button issue, state lawmakers are tackling it now.
Proposed legislation known as the New York DREAM Act would make the children of undocumented immigrants eligible for state financial aid to attend college.
The latest version of the Development Relief Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act recently cleared its first big hurdle by making it out of the state Assembly Higher Education Committee. It soon could be brought to the Assembly floor. Lawmakers project it would cost the state about $20 million per year.
I have serious questions about the timing of the impending political showdown. With school districts pleading for more state aid and struggling to avoid cutting existing programs, wouldn't it make more economic sense to put this issue off a little longer?
To critics, the DREAM Act sounds like a nightmare. They say the state would be rewarding illegal immigration with hard-earned tax dollars.
The state Board of Regents has made the bill "one of the board's top legislative priorities," said Education Commissioner John King in a recent statement. "Young New Yorkers who are willing to work hard and study hard should not be denied educational opportunities simply on the basis of their parents' immigration status," he said.
Supporters of the so-called DREAMers, say the time is right to try to enact the legislation. The bill faces an uphill battle in the state Senate, where it remains in committee. This time around, supporters of the bill think they can gather enough votes.
There's also a federal version of the bill, which has gone nowhere for more than a dozen years. A big reason why it has stalled is because it not only proposes to make federal college money available to children of illegal immigrants, but it also offers a path to citizenship.
As he launches into his second term, President Barack Obama is rallying support for immigration reform.
As Americans, most of us celebrate an immigrant heritage. As the child of Chinese immigrants, I believe in the promise of the American dream. Supporters of the DREAM Act have talked about helping the children of undocumented immigrants "come out from the shadows." According to the state, in 2011 an estimated 120,000 students in grades K-12 in New York's public schools did not have legal status.
While it would be unfortunate to have dreams deferred, let also us consider the many public school students and staff who are about to have their dreams dashed by the budget cuts of the next fiscal year. Neither should be forgotten when finances permit.

West football rolls past Chugiak
High-flying West raced out to a 35-7 halftime lead and never looked back in a 48-13 Cook Inlet Conference football win over Chugiak on Saturday, Aug. 25 at Anchorage Football Stadium.
"We weren't playing with a passion," said Chugiak quarterback David Mayhew, who threw a pair of touchdown passes to tight end Matt Oldenkamp in the game.
Chugiak fell to 0-3 overall and 0-2 in the CIC.
Conor Feckley threw three touchdown passes and ran for another for West, which improved to 2-1 overall and 2-0 in the CIC.
Oldenkamp said the loss doesn't mean the Mustangs are going to give up on the season.
"It's only the third game of the season," he said. "We've still got five conference games to go."
Oldenkamp scored on a 64-yard catch-and-run from Mayhew in the second quarter and again on a 3-yard grab as time expired in the game.
The contest featured a bizarre ending, as officials would not allow the Mustangs to attempt a point-after try following Oldenkamp's second touchdown. As Chugiak protested, one official told the team's coaching staff that, since the game wasn't close, "it doesn't matter."
However, that's not exactly true, as defensive points allowed do figure into tie-breakers when it comes to selecting playoff teams following the regular season.
For Chugiak to get itself back into the playoff race, Mayhew said the team will need to come out with more intensity against South on Friday, Aug. 31 at Chugiak at 7 p.m.
"We've just got to come back this week and practice hard, then come out Friday and play hard," he said.

7:00 amSesame Street [#4313H] The Very End of X Big Bird and Snuffy are the hosts of "The Letter of the Day Show" on Sesame Street! The only problem is that the letter they were supposed to introduce and sing about is broken into two straight pieces. Big Bird and Snuffy need help determining which letter it is, so they use the guests on the show as clues. Their first guest is a box, which begins with the letter "B", so they think the letter must be "B". When they try to put the broken pieces of the letter together, however, it does not form a "B". Big Bird and Snuffy realize the letter must have two straight lines. The next guest is wax, so Big Bird and Snuffy think the letter must be "W", but that letter has four straight lines. The next guest is Leela dressed up as a Tyrannosaurs Rex. Big Bird thinks that this has all become too hard because all of the guests start with a different letter - box, wax, and Tyrannosaurs Rex. After he says the words out loud, Snuffy realizes that all of the letters end with the same sound. They figure out that these words don't start with the same letter, but end with the same letter-"X"! Leela helps them cross the two straight lines of the broken letter together and they form the letter "X"! Other guests that end with the letter "X" appear on the show and they all sing a song together! duration 58:46 STEREO TVY (Secondary audio: DVI)

A sleeping aid was found in Kerry Kennedy's blood after her recent auto accident on a highway in Westchester County, N.Y., according to court papers filed in her case.
The document shows that zolpidem, which is sold under the brand name Ambien, among others, was found in her blood. No alcohol was found in her urine, the document shows.
A spokeswoman for attorney John J. Pappalardo says his office is now representing Kerry Kennedy, and they have no comment as of now on the drug test results filed with the court.
The ex-wife of Gov. Andrew Cuomo said a week ago that her doctors thought a seizure caused the July 11 accident. She said their tests found no alcohol, recreational drugs or prescription medication in her system.
She acknowledged, however, that she told a police officer she might have taken an Ambien by accident instead of her thyroid medication.
Dr. Donald Hoffman, a forensic toxicologist associated with John Jay College, said the amount of zolpidem in Kennedy's blood -- 14 nanograms per milliliter -- would represent a small amount left in the system of a person who earlier took a 5 mg tablet of Ambien. Kennedy's blood was tested more than three hours after the crash.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The USTA/ITA Summer Circuit season came to an end at the 2012 ITA National Collegiate Summer Championships, where three Yale women played deep into the tournament.
On the singles side of the tournament, sophomore Hanna Yu advanced the furthest of the three Bulldogs, working her way into the semifinals. After a first-round bye, Yu, a nine seed, knocked off Julie Jamieson of Illinois 6-4, 6-4, then earned a 6-3, 6-1 win over UNC's Gina Suarez-Malaguti. Yu's final victory came over Dartmouth's Akiko Akuda, a 7-5, 6-2 victory that placed Yu into the semifinals. Finally, Yu was defeated by Whitney Kay of UNC, with a final score of 6-3, 7-6. Kay would go on to win the tournament, never coming closer to defeat than in the second set against Yu.
Senior Elizabeth Epstein, a three seed, earned a bye in the first round and then defeated Courtney Wild of Ball State 6-0, 6-3, before falling to Okuda 7-5 6-3 in the third round. Junior Annie Sullivan also had a first-round bye, before falling to Indiana's Shannon Murdy 6-3, 1-6, 1-0 (4).
In the doubles tournament, the pairing of Epstein and Sullivan, which finished last season ranked No. 87 in Division I tennis, advanced all the way to the championship, where they fell to the pairing of Nebraska's Mary Weatherholt and Katie Zordani of Iowa. First, the Yale duo knocked off Deahna Welcher, a Lipscomb student, and George Washington's Leah Pascarella 8-1, then they topped Columbia's Crystal Leung and Oregon's Nicole Long 8-4. In the semifinals, Epstein and Sullivan prevailed 9-7 over UNC's Kay and Caroline Price. In the final match, Weatherholt and Zordani proved to be simply too much, knocking off the Yale pair 8-4, the smallest margin of victory for the champions.
Yu played with Wild, but the partnership would be short-lived, as the two went down in the first round to the team of Suarez-Malaguti and Alabama's Natalia Maynetto.

STOCKTON - Two gun scares framed the school day for Stagg High School students on Thursday.
STOCKTON - Two gun scares framed the school day for Stagg High School students on Thursday.
Students sheltered in their first period classrooms from 8:15 a.m. until 9:45 a.m. while police searched the campus for weapons after a student reported seeing other students looking at a gun at a nearby convenience store.
"In an abundance of caution," officials locked down the high school at 8:15 a.m. while Stockton Unified police using dogs swept the campus, district spokeswoman Dianne Barth said. "No weapons were found, and all students are safe."
The school district thoroughly investigates any reports of weapons, she said.
Then, after school's 2:10 p.m. dismissal, gunfire off campus prompted a second lockdown at the school. At the time, there were a few hundred students on campus. They were there for after-school programs or came to campus for safety after hearing gunfire, Barth said.
Initial reports were that gunfire came from a car near the school. Stockton police were investigating, and no arrests had been made when officials lifted the lockdown at 3:15 p.m., Barth said. Their investigation focused on a levee along Brookside Road near the campus. Students often walk along the levee to and from school.
Two days earlier, Lincoln Unified School District trustees voted to add six security officers so there will be one at each elementary school.
Two weeks ago, Manteca police said they would be increasing patrols at elementary schools within its city limits.
Some of these plans were in the works before the Dec. 14 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., where 20 children and six school workers were gunned down by a lone man.
