Legislation protects animals by requiring administrative hearings for repeat offenders
State Sen. Mark Grisanti today announced Bill S.3955A has been signed into law. This legislation protects dogs and cats from abusive treatment by pet dealers in New York state. The law amends the agriculture and markets law related to administrative hearings and processes for pet dealers.
The bill, sponsored by Grisanti, passed the New York State Legislature earlier this year and was signed into law this week by Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
"What we have with this law is another form of legislation that aims at cracking down on people who handle animals irresponsibly by causing harm to these defenseless creatures," Grisanti said. "We want to regulate commercial breeders and pet stores, and be an advocate for dogs, cats and all other pets who are abused."
The new law protects dogs and cats from abusive treatment by pet dealers by requiring that administrative hearings be held to determine whether a pet dealer license should be suspended or revoked after a certain pattern of failed inspections has occurred.
The legislation mandates an administrative hearing be scheduled after three consecutive failed inspections or three failed inspections within a three-year time period. By requiring hearings, those who have a pattern of being out of compliance with the laws that apply to the care of animals will be subject to having their licenses suspended or revoked, thus preventing them from further mistreating animals.
"For more than a decade, laws regulating pet dealers in New York state have failed to adequately protect dogs in the state's pet stores and commercial breeding facilities," said Bill Ketzer, senior director of ASPCA government relations for the northeast region. "This measure will provide the Department of Agriculture and Markets with a stronger enforcement mechanism to hold frequent violators of the state's pet dealer law accountable for repeat offenses. We applaud Gov. Cuomo for signing this measure into law and thank Sen. Grisanti for his continued commitment to passing legislation that protects animals."
The law also permits for additional actions to be taken regarding a pet dealer's license prior to a licensee failing either three consecutive inspections or three inspections over three years, a provision to help quickly prevent the most egregious practices and animal abuse from continuing.
"Many of the pets that have been abused are later sold to unsuspecting consumers," Grisanti said. "It is not fair to those people and obviously it is extremely unfair to the animals. This type of abuse must be prevented, and this law will help better track repeat offenders to help punish them for this despicable behavior."
This law closely follows ongoing discussions and attention to pending legislation that Grisanti has sponsored that calls for cracking down on puppy mills. Bill S.3753, which is still awaiting the governor's signature to become a law, permits local governments to regulate puppy mills and pet stores.

Library evacuated, school on alert due to bombing suspect fears
Goffstown police Capt. Rob Browne said two merchants called to report a man matching the description of the suspected bombers which had been released to the public the previous evening.
"It was so close proximity (in appearance)," said Browne, of video captured by one merchant on a closed circuit television recording.
Calls to the police began about 9 that morning, and by 1:30 p.m., police were at the library, where a sighting had been reported.
"I did not call the police," said librarian Dianne Hathaway. "The person was at the library for hours, causing no problems."
As a precaution, said Browne, the library was evacuated and it was determined the man in the video was not the person Boston was searching for, but rather someone who had been recently backpacking. The school was on alert for about an hour while police cleared the library.
"There were a lot of scary moments that day," said Browne.
He also said the library staff handled the situation professionally.
"The library staff were so great," he said. "They were understanding and swift. They are a professional and dedicated staff that helped us very fast."

are there any plans to implement some kind of project management / project explorer in the near future (maybe including svn support )?
Hi myel - welcome to the forums!
Yep, it's definitely is on the roadmap - it's one of the most requested features. The general plan is that 1.04 will include plugins and a more reasonable preferences system, and then 1.05 will follow with project support. There's no dates for these, but it should give an indication of priority.
Hello Jon,
thanks for your fast reply.
Sublime looks very promising and now i'm looking forward to 1.05 .
I think it's important to use some colors from syntax highlighting in panes.Because i feel eye discomfort. It looks very contrastful when you using dark themes and see a white background in panes or open/save dialogs.
Welcome to the forums fbd!
I agree with you there - the project explorer, when it comes, will fit in nicely with the rest of Sublime Text. The current preferences sidebar is a temporary stopgap only.
re: open / save dialogs, I think your best bet there is to change the windows colour scheme to user darker colours.
I feel bad for asking, but i'm so impatient:
now that 1.04 is here, any progress on the project explorer stuff?
Project support is still on the list for 1.05, it won't be happening as soon as I'd like though: I'm about to head overseas for a few weeks, there won't be any new beta versions until after I get back.
Please post some message about it in the blog, or in beta versions page, to keep people informed.
Hi Jon,
Sorry to insist, but please consider a Linux version soon. I'm not so involved in your project only because of this. I'm sure a lot of people will pay for it.
Another suggestion : every GUI toolkit seems now to allow WebKit inside them (Gtk and Qt4), can this be done inside yours ? This could be a great plus for editing (X)HTML, JavaScript or markup-like files.
Sad news .
It's the one thing that keeps me from using (and buying) sublime in my production enviroment.
Anyway, thanks for your hard work and enjoy your vacation!
I'm looking forward to doing it, but I think the right thing to do is to add more functionality to the Windows version for the moment.
Nick has done some work getting Sublime to talk to an external browser, but embedding something is definitely a candidate.
If the project explorer will make Sublime heavier, I don't like the idea.....
If it get heavier I'd rather use an IDE.
I´m pretty OK with Windows Explorer's context-menu.
I'd like to see some design taken from the likes of Coda. How they handle project management is wonderful. The concept of "sites/projects". See here: panic.com/coda/img/sites-screenshot_01.jpg
The most recent projects are shown in thumbnail preview form at start up so you can simply click and start editing. Coda opens all the files opened during your last session with that file. And the project explorer automatically opens the directory structure from that project.
Project support, once implemented, won't add any overhead unless you're using it, and even then I don't expect it to be anything measurable.
Coda is a lovely application - I don't think I'll be implementing thumbnails that fancy though
how are things coming with project support? i know i'm impatient
PS: take your time to make it good...

Video blogs, ready for prime time
Video blogs, a.k.a. vlogs, are booming, and Internet users and advertisers are taking note.
(Business 2.0 Magazine) - Amanda Congdon, 24, is running through the wintry streets of Manhattan in a purple cape and leotard. This may not seem like a milestone in Internet history, but it is: The perky actress is starring in the first commercial to be aired in a brand-new medium - the video blog, or vlog. Her silly superheroics are worth $40,000.
Congdon is the host of Rocketboom, a satirical news show and the most popular vlog on the Net. Despite having no budget, Rocketboom has 250,000 visitors a day, and that number is rising fast. Now Congdon and producer Andrew Baron are taking a cue from the ad-driven revenue of top bloggers: "We want to make a business out of vlogging," Congdon says.
With the proliferation of devices like the video iPod, the vlog boom is on. As of March there were more than 6,500 vlogs, says directory Mefeedia.com, compared with fewer than 300 a year earlier. Apple's (Research) iTunes store has offered vlogs for download as video podcasts since October, giving sites like Rocketboom a potential audience of 40 million iPod users.
And there's good news for vloggers who want to monetize their fame: Advertisers are getting more comfortable with online video spots. In the United States, Internet video ads brought in $225 million in 2005 and are expected to break the $1 billion mark in 2008, according to eMarketer, a New York research firm. "Vlogs are very targetable," says eMarketer analyst David Hallerman. "They're small, but they have a niche audience."
They also operate with amazingly low overhead. Baron, a former professor at Parsons school of design in New York, found Congdon through an ad on Craigslist. Now they write, shoot, and edit five new shows a week, each shorter than five minutes, in Baron's apartment. Increasingly, they rely on a team of freelance correspondents - Rocketboom fans - from around the world. "The show is just whatever we find interesting," Congdon says.
True to its unconventional style, Rocketboom auctioned off its first week of ads on eBay (Research). Bidders were warned that Rocketboom would have complete creative control over the spots. TRM, an ATM sales company based in Portland, Ore., won with a bid of $40,000. In exchange, Baron and Congdon shot and aired five 60-second spots featuring Congdon in two roles: an ATM sales rep in superhero garb, and a masked villain trying to blow up TRM.
According to TRM spokeswoman Janet Lennon, reaction inside the company was mixed. "It wasn't what we anticipated," she says. But TRM is still bullish on vlogs as a way to reach forward-thinking viewers. "We feel like this is an upcoming trend in marketing and advertising," Lennon says.
She could well be right. Not only did the commercials generate the biggest traffic spike in Rocketboom's short history, but EarthLink (Research) bought its own Rocketboom commercials shortly after the TRM deal. In addition, TiVo (Research) agreed to offer Rocketboom for free to a million broadband subscribers, hoping to use it to snare younger, hipper viewers. Baron and Congdon have other moneymaking plans in the works, such as offering subscriptions to special extended versions of the show for $4 a month.
Of course, Madison Avenue firms aren't lining up to buy ad space just yet. After all, this is a quirky, do-it-yourself medium where content ranges from the sublime to the unwatchable. "There isn't enough critical mass for us to go to a client and say, 'This is something that's going to work for you,'" says Charles Pinkerton, partner at New York-based Kirshenbaum Bond & Partners' the Media Kitchen.
That may change, however, as more vlogs boast viewership worthy of a mainstream TV show. Right now, the most popular vlogs include MobuzzTV, with a news format similar to Rocketboom's, and Tiki Bar TV, a sketch comedy series about the art of mixed drinks.
Says Steve Garfield, a veteran video producer who's organizing the second Vloggercon conference this summer in San Francisco, "People do this for artistic reasons, and for fun." Perhaps, but with sites like Rocketboom proving out the business model, you can bet that a lot of vloggers will soon be doing it for profit too.To send a letter to the editor about this story, click here.

ST. CHARLES – A couple of pitchers who have struggled to get into the win column this season both turned in strong performances Thursday on the St. Charles North baseball diamond.
Yet St. Charles East's Mike Boehmer and St. Charles North's Sawyer Chambers walked away without a win.
Boehmer and Chambers kept the opposition off the board for five innings, but they couldn't keep Mother Nature from putting an early end to the game. The game was called after heavy rain began to fall while the Upstate Eight River Division contest already was in a mandatory 30-minute lightning delay.
"We'll come back and play the game if it means something for the conference race," East coach Len Asquini said. "If it doesn't, then it's just going to go down as a tie."
The Saints (14-7, 12-4) are in the thick of the league race, while the North Stars (11-11, 7-7) are just trying to get above .500 at this point in the season.
"We've had some things not go our way this year, but the kids still believe and they really care about the season and they want to end on a strong note," North coach Todd Genke said. "We're focused on trying to get hot here at the right time … and be ready for the regional and make some noise in the playoffs."
Chambers (1-3) could help the North Stars down the stretch if he throws like he did against East. He allowed only four hits – all singles. Two of those came in the top of the fourth inning when it appeared Joe Hoscheit's single to center had scored a run. But Nicholas Erickson was called out for missing third base.
"I left that pitch up and I was kind of beating myself up for it," Chambers said. "Then coach said to appeal to third base and I was like, 'Oh, there's no way we're going to get this,' and when he called out, I was like, 'Thank God.' "
Chambers still had work to do since that was only the first out of the inning, but he got a groundball back to the mound and a strikeout to end the threat. He had a pair of strikeouts, but mostly he got the Saints to beat the ball into the turf, getting 11 outs on groundballs.
"He's a senior and we expect a lot from him," Genke said. "The last two or three outings he's been real good. He's been able to throw his breaking ball for a strike, which is huge for any pitcher, but especially him."
Boehmer (0-5) was equally impressive. The junior righthander gave up only two hits and did not allow a baserunner past second.
"Michael was throwing great," Asquini said. "And, you know what, he's done that for us. It's been kind of a hard luck year for him. He's got five losses, but, boy, he has thrown well. … He was doing it again today – keeping it down, making them put it in play."
Boehmer struck out two and did not walk a batter.
The Saints are back in action Friday at home against Neuqua Valley, while the North Stars are off until a Saturday doubleheader at Larkin.

Actress Selena Gomez made her mark as Alex on the Disney Channel's Wizards of Waverly Place but this 18-year-old also sings. On the heels of the release of her new album, A Year Without Rain, we spoke with the Grand Prairie, Texas, native by phone yesterday as we launch a new Selena Gomez page on Hulu. In addition to music videos for "Round and Round," "Naturally" and "A Year Without Rain," you can also tune in to Selena's web series, "Girl Meets World," which originally aired on YouTube. In the series, cameras follow the young star as she tours Europe for the first time. Selena — a big fan of Hulu, herself — tells us more below. — Rebecca Harper (email@example.com), Editor
Hulu: You said that you're really excited to see your videos on Hulu. Do you use Hulu much?
Selena Gomez I do, yes, because I love how clear most of the streams are, and it's really easy and very simple, so I definitely love going on there. I like to watch some shows to catch up on things, but I never get to watch an actual series. I tend to trail off, but I try to see all the fun shows.
So tell us a little about Girl Meets World.
I did my first Europe tour and I'd never been anywhere besides Canada and Mexico, so I wanted to take my fans on my journey. I got to go to Spain and Paris and London and Germany. I had some time in each individual place, so basically we had the camera crew follow us everywhere, and they captured every moment. It's kind of very personal — I'd never really let people in that much. It follows me from when I start my day to when I end my day. And sometimes after I end my day, they're still there. It's kind of like a mini-reality show, but it was really fun. Now my fans can really see what my life's like and I wanted them to see Europe, too. It was really fun for me.
You mention this in the first video, when did you know you want to sing and act professionally?
I definitely think that's what I always wanted to do. I was an only child growing up. I always loved entertaining myself, so I would go to my mom's work. It would just be me, and I would perform in her office, and I'd be putting on skits and singing everywhere, basically being me. So I feel like that had a big part in it. My mom is also an actor, but she never did television or film. She did a lot of theater, which I loved. I think that kind of worked then. I asked my mom because I really wanted to be a part of it when I was around 7 and 8, and she helped me start the process.
Your breakout role, of course, was on Wizards of Waverly Place. How did you get that role?
I was 11 years old and Disney had this nationwide casting search. They went all around trying to audition different girls in different states. So they rounded up a few people. It ended up being three people that they flew in, and I was one of them. I went to LA for the first time and I auditioned in front of all these people. I got the part in the pilot that they were doing, but it didn't end up getting picked up. They wanted to keep me in their family, so I guest-starred in a couple of their shows. I guest-starred in Suite Life and Hannah Montana, and then Wizards of Waverly Place came along and I went through the whole audition process again, and they picked me to be the girl.
How has that role helped you with your singing career now?
Obviously Disney Channel has an amazing launching pad. They've just been so wonderful to every single person on their network. I feel like they have great taste, and they're family. I think the Disney Channel is really good on being able to create that family for all of us. I started on the show, and it just really helped me branch out. I was really shy when I was younger, and in comedy you can't really be shy. You have to be very out there and willing to give a lot of yourself. It's helped me open up in many ways. They've also helped me with my music and keeping other roles. It's just been a really good thing, being part of the Disney Channel.
How do you think Twitter and Facebook have helped you as well? [Selena has over 3 million followers on Twitter.]
I think the social networks are very important. I think that being part of Facebook and MySpace and Twitter, all of those things, it really awesome. It's a great way to stay in touch with your fans and let them know what you're up to. It's a little scary sometimes because it's very personal, so I try to use it for what it's there for. I use it to remind my fans how much I appreciate them and how much I love and care about them, and what I'm doing and what I'm up to and see how they're doing, and what the response is. It's very quick and it's very instant.
Do you have a preference for acting vs. singing?
I just don't really trust myself. One day, I wake up and I'm so obsessed with my music and then the next day I wake up and I'm just so into my films and wanting to know what's going on in that world and in my show. So I don't really trust myself right now. But I think in the future once I get older and I want everything to slow down, I think I'm going to want to be in film.
Do you write any of your own songs?
I do, but the awful part for me — the unfortunate part — would be having to do everything at once, so I can't give the individual attention that I'd love to give. My studio time is extremely precious, so I can't go in there and spend, like, two days writing one song, or three days writing one song. I have to go in there and record the song. The fortunate part for me is that I have some amazing producers that know me personally that I've worked with before, that have written songs for me about stories that I've told them and situations that I've been in, and when I talk about my fans. They've written things that were very personal to me. Hopefully in the future I'm able to give my music more attention, so I can be more involved.
Later this month, you're doing a benefit concert for UNICEF. Can you tell me about your involvement with that organization?
I've been involved with UNICEF for three years. They're an amazing organization, and I feel like I'm part of the family. What they do is really beautiful. I'd just started to do one campaign with them, and once I realized what they do, and I was able to witness some of the work that they did, they asked me to be their ambassador. I immediately took it because I wanted to be part of it. I've been working with them very closely and just get so passionate about it every year, and I want to do something more. This year is the 60th anniversary of the trick or treat campaign, so I'm doing an acoustic show with my band and we're gonna raise money through that. Hopefully that will bring about some good things.
Have you traveled with UNICEF at all?
I have. Last year I went to Ghana, Africa, which was really amazing. I was able to do some fieldwork and actually witness what UNICEF is doing to help. I got to be part of it, and it was really beautiful. It was a great experience. I'm planning on doing another trip with them soon.
What are you up to next?
I'm still working on the show, so we're wrapping up the last season of Waverly and getting ready to do another movie. Then afterward, I will be prepping to do my first actual summer tour, which will be exciting because I've done a lot of concerts, but I've never done an actual tour that I'm going to be able to create from scratch. I will hopefully be a part of some more films, but I'm not quite sure of that yet.
How does it feel to be wrapping up Wizards?
It's really emotional. Every week I go in, and even though we're not anywhere close to being done, I feel like it's just gonna come on me really quickly. I'm preparing myself but I don't think I'm going to be prepared. It's going to be really hard. I will tell you this: it's a fact, I'm going to be the one that cries the most.

Heritage Syrup Festival
Henderson, Texas
2nd Saturday of November 14th
2nd Saturday of November 14th
The making of syrup was and still is an integral part of Anglo-Celtic society and culture in the Southern United States. The practice is still done and celebrated in those areas that were heavily settled by Ulster folk.
Many years ago, as the leaves were turning and the air was crisp, families gathered at the Syrup Mills. This was a time of fellowship and trading, but most importantly, Ribbon Cane Syrup. Syrup was a very treasured sweet. Made from crushed sugar cane, using mule power, and cooked in a pan over a wood fire. The old-timers still reminisce about this well remembered traditional folk art.
This operational syrup mill is made from parts of two country mills. The pan is more than 100 years old and came from the Richardson-Lowe Plantation and the crushing mill was part of the Leopard syrup making facility at Church Hill, Texas. Sugar cane was crushed in the mill to extract the juice. The juice is piped down to the furnace, where it is cooked down into syrup.
The highlight of the Heritage Syrup Festival revolves around a day of old time syrup making demonstrations. The grounds of the Historic Depot Museum come alive with over thirty folk artist demonstrating and selling their crafts. Folk music and rural East Texas soul food round out the festivities.

Star Dust
Aero-performance by Natalia Romik
The squadron of light mirroring, semi-visible, radio controlled airplane models will hover over the former Tempelhoff Airfield.
The collective choreography of flying objects will climax in the release of Star Dust, a glittering rain of confetti falling from the sky. It will create an ephemeral momentum, subtle relationship between participants, publics and things which tend to be invisible.

After a long day writing at the press center and covering Pope Benedict XVI's meeting with interreligious leaders at the John Paul II Cultural Center, I needed to have a drink with my fiance. He had spent the day as one of the thousands of excited Catholics waiting to see the pope drive by The Catholic University of America in his popemobile.
After we met up and started discussing the day, I discovered he had a lot to say about how Pope Benedict's soft, gentle voice touched him and how the pope's comments about religion's contributions to a secular society and the importance of the family revived his faith. So, like any editor, I told him to sit and write it down.
Here's an excerpt from his comments, something I like to call "notes from a normal Catholic guy."
"The words of the pope during his visit to our city have strengthened my faith in the church. As a young man who is soon going to be married and start a family, the pope's discussion of the importance of family and the values cultivated through family life given at the White House was very personal for me.
"The most eye-opening part of the Holy Father's visit to Washington was his discussion on secularism in America today. As a child of the 1990s I've frequently struggled with the continuous push to remove God from my public life. I was also moved by the pope's historical recount of how the foundation of America was laid with a shared belief in God without forcing one specific belief over another. He clarified that God and religion — any religion — should not be excluded from the state, government or public view."
Sometimes it's good to take off the reporter hat and get back to the basics of being a Catholic and appreciate the spiritual side of the pope's trip to our country.

Interactive Tool: How Does Smoking Increase Your Risk of Heart Attack?
What does this tool help you learn?
This tool helps you find out how smoking affects your chance of having a heart attack in the next 10 years. The information for this tool is based on the Framingham Heart Study. Since 1948 the Framingham Heart Study has studied the progression of heart disease and the risk factors of heart disease.
If you smoke and also have other risk factors for heart disease, your risk may be higher than this tool says it is.
What does your score mean?
Your score will appear in values from 1% to 99%. If your score is Non-smoker: 2% and Smoker: 6%, it means that for your age and gender 2 out of 100 non-smokers compared with 6 out of 100 smokers will have a heart attack in the next 10 years. In this example, smokers are 3 times more likely than non-smokers to have a heart attack in the next 10 years.
What's next?
If you are concerned about your score, talk to your doctor about lowering your risk for a heart attack. Quitting smoking may be the most important step you can take to reduce your risk of heart disease. According to the World Health Organization, the risk of coronary artery disease decreases by 50% in the first year after quitting. You can start lowering your risk right away by quitting smoking.

Another week has passed in Washington without progress or a plan for passing a five-year farm bill or an extension of the farm law that expired on Sept. 30.
Congressional agriculture leaders have expressed varying levels of optimism on the issue throughout the week, but as days go by, hope appears to be fading and the scramble for a legislative plan B to avoid implementation of permanent law in 2013 becomes more hurried.
Recognizing the logistical hurdles to a full bill at this point, farm groups, ag reporters and policy analysts have also become very frank about the perils of any type of extension to near-term policy priorities and the long-term farm bill budget.
Everyone believes an extension would be just as hard to pass as a full bill, but an extension could leave many programs without any funding, would not provide farmers the certainty inherent in long-term policy and would not include the reforms in versions of the legislation which have been successfully completed by the Senate and the House Agriculture Committee.
The hurdles facing the bill appear to be apparent to all and yet unfixable.
House leaders who could bring the House Ag product to the floor are clearly tied up in fiscal cliff discussions.
The farm bill rose to the level of a White House press briefing, when Press Secretary Jay Carney was asked about Mississippi River flow issues. He said, in part, "The president has also been clear that Congress must pass a comprehensive multi-year farm bill that...not only provides much needed disaster assistance but gets farmers and ranchers the certainty they deserve while enacting critical reforms."
House Agriculture Committee Chairman Frank Lucas (R-Okla.), who was officially selected this week to remain chairman in the 113th Congress, told Oklahoma farm reporter Ron Hays on Thursday that regular order was still his goal.
However, he acknowledged that because of the fiscal cliff "literally there is not enough political oxygen left in this town" for anything else and "while the candle has not gone out completely, it's flickering rather dimly."
The next best hope for the farm bill, barring floor consideration, has appeared to be working it into a larger package addressing the fiscal cliff, which might be particularly attractive if legislators begin looking for spending offsets.
Both the Senate-approved farm bill and the House Agriculture-approved farm bill save tens of billions of dollars. However, that option suddenly looked to be an even longer shot when House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said Thursday there has been "no substantive progress" on the fiscal cliff talks.
This political impasse is likely to demand even more attention in the coming days from all decision-makers on the Hill and in the Obama Administration.
Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack and leaders of both Congressional agriculture committees met Thursday. Meetings between Congressional principals are likely to continue next week.
NAWG continues to work with other farm groups and Hill staff to press the importance of completing a five-year bill.
NAWG President Erik Younggren, a farmer in northern Minnesota, will travel to Washington next week for meetings pertaining to the farm bill.

It's been a busy couple of weeks in Crewville, hasn't it? A lightning delay before a dreadful loss to shorthanded Seattle, a coaching change, a thrilling win against Houston, a horrendous defeat on a patty-strewn Kansas City cow pasture, and a comeback win at first-place Montreal have flown by one right after the other. And then tucked in the middle of all that was Dos A Cero, Part Quatro, which, for Mexico, is like living the same horrible day over and over and over once every four years, as if the movie "Groundhog Day" also happened to fall on Leap Day. Or something.
Anyway, as a result of the whirlwind half-a-month in Crewville, I still have a lot of stuff that didn't find its way into either of the recent Notebooks. There were some still usable items from the Seattle game that I never got to use because the coaching change preempted the Seattle Notebook. Then there were some stories from the coaching press conference that I felt didn't fit the tone of that particular Notebook. Plus, there was a preposterous conversation that took place after the Houston game that was a better fit for this collection. I am calling this Notebook "Story Time" because it consists mostly of ludicrous stories that have little or nothing to do with actual soccer games. In fact, the only soccer content contained therein revolves around accidental physical calamity.
Since everyone is still smiling from Dos A Cero, and since Clint Dempsey's last second penalty kick was pushed wide right, Scott Norwood style, by the collective telekinetic powers of over 24,000 people who felt that tradition demanded that the iconic scoreline be preserved, let's start with a story about Deuce.
When the Seattle Sounders came to town on August 31, they brought their new superstar signing Clint Dempsey with them. He was in the starting lineup, which posed a problem for the Crew's creative services team. They did not have a Sounders headshot of Dempsey to put up on the scoreboard when announcing the Seattle lineup.
"We had to get creative," said the Crew's creative services manager Will Bennett, whose title would suggest that it was something right up his group's alley.
They could have just put a Sounders logo or a Twitter egg or something in the headshot's place, but the Crew's creative service coordinator, Eric Sinicki, pitched an idea to Bennett. Why not take an existing Sounders headshot and slap the famous Deuce Face photo on top of it? For those who don't know, Deuce Face is a face that Dempsey (a.ka. "Deuce") made at Crew Stadium last September while playing for the U.S. in a World Cup Qualifier against Jamaica. Captured by television cameras, the Deuce Face became an instant internet sensation. It still is, actually, and probably always will be.
Thanks to Sinicki's quick thinking, Bennett displayed the following image on the Crew Stadium scoreboard when Dempsey was introduced on August 31:
Awesome. Pure awesome.
Late in the Seattle game, Crew defender Josh Williams paid the ultimate price for a blocked shot. He blocked a blast with his nether regions.
"I don't know if he hit it with his hand and tried to blame it on his nuts, or if he actually used his nuts," said goalkeeper Matt Lampson. "Either way, he got in front of it."
After blocking the shot, rather than curling up in the fetal position and waiting for the painful hollowness to subside, Williams hopped around like an over-caffeinated kangaroo.
"That wasn't good," he said. "I kinda had a feeling it was coming right there. I kinda got my hands up so it wasn't too bad, but it caught me square. I was in a little bit of a panic. Is it still there? Are they still there? I checked and they were all good to go. I tried to shake it off right away."
So as a professional shot stopper, is this central groin technique something that Lampson discourages?
"You can do it all you want," he said. "It just depends on if you want kids."
Williams stressed that this type of block is not something in his defensive arsenal.
"I wasn't trying, man," he said. "That's not a technique that I work on."
On Labor Day, Brian Bliss was introduced as the Crew's interim head coach. After all of the official press conference business was over, Bliss told me I should have asked one more question. Any question. This is because the last query posed to Mark McCullers was about whether or not command of the English language would be one of the criteria for the Crew's coaching search. (In other words, "Is Guillermo Barros Schelotto in the running?") This sent Bliss's mischievous mind in motion.
"I was waiting for the next question because I was going to answer in German," said Bliss, who played six years in Germany. "How could there not be one more question? We were up there for a half hour! Then when I want to answer a question in German, suddenly there's no more questions? Come on! I was ready!"
Bliss got to make use of his joke the next day, though, so it wasn't a totally wasted opportunity. When Adam Jardy of the Columbus Dispatch asked who would communicate with the Spanish-speaking players, Bliss responded to him in German. It was a joke that had been incubating for almost 24 hours.
During the Crew's reserve game against FC Dallas on August 27, Crew defender Kyle Hyland left the game after taking an elbow to the mouth in a collision with Kenny Cooper. At halftime, Adam Jardy tweeted the following photo of a search party gathered on the field, looking for Kyle's half-a-tooth:
I figured this warranted a roundtable discussion. After the Seattle game, once the locker room had all but emptied out, I sat down with Head Athletic Trainer Dave Lagow and Director of Team Operations Tucker Walther. This meandering and ridiculous conversation also features an amusing cameo by Chad Marshall and a surprise guest star in Bliss. Here we go….
SIRK: So tell me the story of Kyle's tooth.
LAGOW: Kyle went up for a ball against Kenny Cooper, who is likely three times the size of Kyle. Then Tony Tchani jumped as well, pushed Kenny into Kyle, and then Kyle ended up trying to eat Kenny's elbow. That was unsuccessful, and he instead ending up eating his own bottom lip. That took off about a half of his tooth…bottom half of a top tooth. So Steve [Purcell], being the lead A.T. for the game, goes out on the field to look at him, and realizes that the damage is too much to patch up and get him back in the game, so he sends him off and hands him off to me to take him inside, so Steve can keep watching the game. I call the dentist because he's going to need some dental work.
SIRK: So what are you seeing once you get inside?
LAGOW: I'm seeing half of a tooth and a large gash in his bottom lip that was essentially a triangle, but the bottom part was still attached so it was like… a flap. It was a large flap. But other than that, he said he felt great, He was just pissed that he had to come out of the game. So I called the dentist, and the dentist was like, "Yeah, we need to see him, and if you can find the tooth, you need to find it." I'm like, "Well, it's somewhere on the field," He's like, "You need to find the tooth."
So I left Kyle and went back out there, and luckily was able to amass a search party. It was myself, Dr. Johnson, Blissy, Jeremy Parkins, and maybe somebody else. So Blissy identifies roughly what he thinks the area is. We start looking around and we're not really finding anything, and then Tucker started walking over from the far side and Danny [O'Rourke] said, "No, it's not where Bliss said. It's more over here."
Then we found one spot of blood and another blood spot. And then Hawkeye Tucker came over and said, "That's where it is." Sure enough, after 25 or 30 minutes more of play in the first half, his tooth was still on the field. So then we packed it up and shipped it off. We have yet to get confirmation from the dentist if he used the tooth part or not to glue it back on. I guess he had had some previous injury where there was a cap or prosthetic, so he wasn't really upset about it.
But the moral of the story is this—if you are forming a search party with Crew people and you really want to find something, make sure you bring Tucker and make sure you send Blissy for coffee. Blissy had us in the wrong spot.
WALTHER: I'm the fixer. I'm like the guy in Pulp Fiction who fixes the problems.
LAGOW: The guy at the end?
WALTHER: The guy who melts the bodies.
LAGOW: And cleans the car out. What's his name?
WALTHER: I don't remember.
MARSHALL: How do you glue a tooth back on? That's some serious Elmer's going on.
WALTHER: Gorilla Glue.
SIRK: In the old Krazy Glue commercial, they suspended a guy from a steel girder with it!
WALTHER: [To Chad] Didn't you eat glue?
MARSHALL: No.
WALTHER: I think every kindergartner eats glue.
LAGOW: I was at a soccer tournament in Brazil and we literally closed a guy's eye gash with Krazy Glue. Not medical glue. I had Krazy Glue in my bag in case somebody's boot split open. We had to get back on the field, and I looked at the doctor, and he said, "Yeah, that'll be fine."
MARSHALL: I like the smell of gasoline.
LAGOW: Dude, I thought I was the only guy. I'm not gonna lie.
WALTHER: So you're pouring gas on your hands and going [long draw-out sniff]?
LAGOW: You're actually the guy who's not upset when you get your gas and accidentally step in a puddle and it follows you all day.
MARSHALL: No, I'm okay with that.
LAGOW: So am I.
SIRK: [To Tucker] So back to you finding things. You could have found my (bleeping) keys when I lost them in Toronto.
LAGOW: You're a baseball fan, right? Tuck's the closer. He's the Mariano Rivera of tooth-finding.
WALTHER: Basically, it was their irresponsible-ness. Kyle never should have gone up against this (bleeping) giant. He never should have put his face there. And then these guys are looking on the other side of the field. It's really easy. You just go to where it actually happened and look for a white-colored bloody tooth. There were like eight thousand people walking around over there, some of them in suits, and I'm like, "Really? I can see it from here. And I'm legally (bleeping) blind."
LAGOW: It was me and Parkins. We were the dogs that picked up the trail and then you came in. I'm trying to give you credit.
WALTHER: I would have picked up the scent like that. [Snaps fingers.]
LAGOW: I'm trying to give you credit and you're (bleeping) stabbing me in the back. What's up with that?
WALTHER: Mr. Wolf! That's the guy from Pulp Fiction.
[Bliss leaves Warzycha's office and is on his way out of the locker room.]
SIRK: There's Blissy.
LAGOW: Blissy! Get over here! We're talking about tooth-finding and how you're the coffee guy.
BLISS: Coffee guy?
SIRK: Yeah, they say if I'm ever looking for a tooth, I should just send you to go get coffee.
WALTHER: If we're looking for a needle in a haystack, you should leave.
BLISS: You guys are so off base. I don't even want to get into this discussion based on what happened with the game tonight, but I will tell you right now, I misinterpreted where the actual accident happened.
SIRK: Misinterpreted?
BLISS: I misjudged it. I misjudged where it actually was. From the epicenter, I was off by probably six feet.
LAGOW: Ten yards.
BLISS: Six yards. Six yards, not six feet. Tucker said, "I think it might be closer to this hash mark," and we had seven guys, so I was like, "Okay."
WALTHER: Which I never said.
BLISS: Somebody said it. Who said it?
LAGOW: It wasn't Tucker. He was on the other side.
BLISS: Well, whatever. Someone said it. So we had like seven guys, and we were all doing this… [Bliss crouches down into some weird search stance.]
SIRK: So, wait. Were you guys on your hands and knees?
BLISS: No, we're all like this. [Crouches down again and pantomimes sweeping the grass with his foot.] So then I see the big blood spot in the grass where he spit out the blood. So I found the blood spot, which was about the size of a quarter. So I'm like, "Ah! Blood! There it is!" And then Dave goes, "There's more blood right there."
WALTHER: Setup men and the closer. I'm on the bleachers like eight yards away and I'm like, "It's right THERE!"
BLISS: No, he was right on top of it. I saw the quarter-sized blood spot. Dave's off my shoulder and he says, "There's another blood spot." And then Tucker comes over and goes, "Ow!" [Bliss pretends Tucker stepped on the tooth.]
WALTHER: How could I have said "ow"? I had shoes on. I'm not a (bleeping) savage.
BLISS: No, but Tucker came over and said, "There it is." So anyway, I was out of my element, but I found the first blood. I found the first blood in the grass. I mean, come on. That was pretty good.
LAGOW: It was very CSI.
WALTHER: Did you suck up the blood to put it back in him? And how did you know it was his? Maybe Benny [Jackson] cut himself when he was lining the field.
SIRK: So when you guys found the tooth, did you pick it up?
LAGOW: I had gloves on, so I picked up.
WALTHER: Then we put it in a plastic bag and sealed it with a glass of milk. That's what you're supposed to do.
LAGOW: That is a remedy, but that is not what we did.
WALTHER: That's what I suggested. I got a gallon of milk that morning.
[Bliss leaves.]
LAGOW: If you're ever looking for a tooth, send Bliss for coffee.
Now that we've heard the story of the search, how about the guy who actually lost the tooth? Hyland was happy to share his version of events.
As for the actual tooth-cracking incident itself, he clarified that it wasn't a head ball challenge against the much larger Cooper. He also confirmed that Tony Tchani, rather than Cooper, was the main culprit.
"The ball bounced to Kenny's chest, which would have been a header for me," he joked. "What happened was Kenny was backing up and I was just shielding him. But then Tony claimed to me that he wanted to 'send him a message.' So Tony tried to send him a message while I was standing there. He hit Kenny pretty hard and then Kenny elbowed me right in the mouth. I ended up spitting blood, and I'm placing the full blame on Tony. He claimed it was a message to Kenny, but it didn't work out that way. Apparently it was a message to me."
After Hyland finished laughingly blaming Tchani, he then shared the on-field reaction of teammate Shawn Sloan, who was the bearer of bad news.
"When I went to the ground, Sloan was right by me," he said. "He was the one who waived on the trainers to come get me. Right when he saw me, he said, 'Did you just chip your tooth again?' Three weeks ago, I had just a minor chip in my tooth. It was in a different tooth, and I went to the dentist to go get it repaired. It was a tiny little chip. So Sloan looks at my mouth and says, 'Did you chip your tooth again?' and I was like 'Dammit! Not again!' But this was actually not a chip. It was a straight break."
The immediate problem, even moreso than the tooth, was that Hyland bit deep into his lower lip. As Lagow previously mentioned, he had a large lip flap that needed stitched up.
"It was 20-plus stitches," he said. "They had to sew some of the muscle and tissue together. It was gross. It was disgusting. They gave me three shots of Novocain in my lip until I couldn't feel anything, then they had to stitch up the inside before stitching up the outside."
As for Lagow's statement that Hyland was mostly upset that he had to come out of the game, Kyle said that was the truth. Amazingly, despite a lip-flap gash and a broken tooth, he wasn't in much pain at the time.
"I think it cut so deep that I lost the feeling in my lip," he said. "Honestly, it didn't hurt at all unless somebody touched it. If somebody touched it, I was gonna kill 'em. If nobody touched it, it was fine. I was just bleeding a lot. This happened at about 10:10, and I didn't get stitched up until about 12:50, and it was still gushing blood. I had to keep switching gauze. It was unbelievable."
Since they couldn't search for his tooth until halftime, Hyland took a shower and was ready to go when the search commenced. He actually observed the tooth hunt as it unfolded.
"I just sat down and watched them," he said. "I'm not gonna lie, it was pretty funny to watch. And I think Tucker's a little cocky about the whole situation,"
The massive tooth hunt and Tucker's heroic tooth-spotting were all in vain. Despite the dentist's insistence that they find the tooth, it never got glued back into his mouth.
"They didn't use the tooth," Hyland said. "I think they used the stuff they use for cavities and built a tooth. I'm just assuming they use that kind of stuff. I have no idea."
In the offseason, the dentist wants to crown Hyland's teeth to make them Cooper(Tchani)-proof. In the meantime, I was curious if the tooth fairy paid Hyland a visit. And since it was half a tooth, did he only get half of the tooth-fairy money?
"Actually, I did get a $5 Chipotle gift card from my dentist," he said. "That's not bad, right? The only problem is I had to wait a week or so until I could use it. I couldn't even eat. I was on a yogurt diet for a few days."
Questions? Comments? Think a yogurt gift card would have been more practical? Feel free to write at firstname.lastname@example.com or via twitter @stevesirk

The RSNA has supported
international education through its International Visiting Professor Program
since 1986. This program, administered by the Committee on International Radiology Education (CIRE), supports small teams of
visiting professors to provide education at selected local hospitals with radiology residency training programs, in or serving developing nations.RSNA thanks Agfa Healthcare and Fujifilm Medical Systems for their support of the International Visiting Professor program.
National, regional or local; radiology societies, universities; or host hospitals in, or that primarily serve, developing countries are invited to apply to host an International Visiting Professor (IVP) team. The host institution will select and organize visits to local hospitals that have active radiology training programs with the need and potential for educational enrichment from a visiting professor team. Host institution applications should describe specific educational needs (e.g., modality or organ-specific interests). If desired, the IVP team will lecture at the host's national radiology society meeting.
"[The IVP Program] Improves Radiological Residents training, adds new concepts and techniques to be applied in the short term in daily hospital practice, improves teaching skills of faculty members, helps implement gold standards as to improve quality in daily practices."
Applications must be completed jointly by the host institution and the local hospitals. In addition, hospital applications must specify the names of staff fluent in English, the number of residents in each year of training, and the percentage of those residents who are capable of understanding teaching presentations delivered in English. Educational institutions that are adjuncts of private practices are not eligible for this program.
The host institution is expected to:
Applications for the 2019 International Visiting Professor Program (due February 1, 2018):
Above, Dr. Teresita L. Angtuaco reviews cases with residents during a visit to the Philippines.
Visiting professors are experienced teachers who are experts in their subspecialty area of radiology. The RSNA Committee is looking for engaging radiologists from around the world who have a passion for teaching. Before volunteering to serve as an International Visiting Professor, please review What to Expect as an IVP.
All travel (air itineraries must be arranged through RSNA's travel agent), accommodations and associated expenses are covered by either the RSNA or the host society. RSNA Visiting Professors may not receive funding from sources other than the host institution, their own institution, and the RSNA. At the conclusion of the assignment, the visiting professor is expected to complete a questionnaire as well as submit a written report about their program experiences.

Please contact email@example.com with questions about this program
"Having grown up in South Korea, I was able to experience the transformation of a country from a poor and undeveloped nation to a modern, high-tech society. Many of my teachers trained in countries such as Japan, Germany and the U.S., and returned to Korea to help develop the medical profession. I have always felt the need to give back in the same fashion, and going to Nepal was simply a dream come true."
- Dr. Young Kim, visiting professor to Nepal in 2012.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) – Hernando, Miss., Mayor Chip Johnson says listening to voters is a big part of the reason he's now being held up as a national model for creating healthier cities and counties.
John Doe and his family watched 1999 change to the year 2000 in Memphis.
They were visitors to the city, here for a family medical emergency.
Looking back on it seven years later, Doe would remember "mentally trying to see if the world was going to end because everybody was scared something was going to happen."

Former Sen. Scott Brown has confirmed he won't run in a Senate special election, dealing a blow to Republicans who hoped to steal the seat being vacated by Democrat John Kerry.
BOSTON — Former Sen. Scott Brown has confirmed he won't run in a Senate special election, dealing a blow to Republicans who hoped to steal the seat being vacated by Democrat John F. Kerry.
Brown released a statement this afternoon making his decision official.
"I was not at all certain that a third Senate campaign in less than four years, and the prospect of returning to a Congress even more partisan than the one I left, was really the best way for me to continue in public service at this time," he said. "And I know it's not the only way for me to advance the ideals and causes that matter most to me."
The decision could improve Democrats' chances of holding Kerry's seat. GOP officials in Washington and Massachusetts widely considered Brown the strongest possible Republican candidate in a state that traditionally favors Democrats.
Brown won the 2010 special election for longtime Sen. Edward M. Kennedy's seat following his death, but lost a bruising re-election battle last year to Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren. The Republican remained popular among Massachusetts voters, still had a statewide political organization and demonstrated an ability to raise tens of millions in campaign donations.
Democrats already have two congressmen in the race to replace Kerry, who has resigned his seat to become secretary of state: U.S. Reps. Edward Markey and Stephen Lynch will face off in an April 30 primary.
Brown said his instinct was to run: "Over these past few weeks I have given serious thought about the possibility of running again, as events have created another vacancy requiring another special election," he said. "I have received a lot of encouragement from friends and supporters to become a candidate, and my competitive instincts were leading in the same direction."
With Brown out of the running, potential Republican candidates include former Gov. William Weld and former Lt. Gov. Kerry Healey.
Party leaders remained confident that they could still win the special election.
Kirsten Hughes, the newly elected chair of the Massachusetts GOP, said in a statement there were "many potential candidates" who were weighing their options now that Brown was out of the picture. She did not mention any names.
Hughes also alluded to Brown's upset win in 2010.
"We shocked the world in 2010, and united, we can do it again," she said.
Rob Collins, executive director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, said it was time for the party to move forward after Brown's announcement. He predicted a nasty Democratic primary between Lynch and Markey and said the GOP was intent on defeating "whichever career politician limps through."
Lynch, who formally entered the race on Thursday, issued a brief statement saying he understood Brown's reasons.
"He has basically been campaigning nonstop for three years. It's perfectly understandable that he wouldn't want to undertake another campaign," said Lynch.
Weld, who recently returned to Massachusetts to join the Boston law firm Mintz Levin, has said he would consider a run for the Senate if Brown did not seek the seat. He did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
A message was also left with Healey, who served as lieutenant governor from 2003-2007 under then-Gov. Mitt Romney and lost the governor's race to Democratic Gov. Deval Patrick in 2006.
Patrick this week named William "Mo" Cowan, a former top aide, to fill Kerry's seat on an interim basis until the election. The general election is June 25.
The winner of the special election would have to face voters again in November 2014, when Kerry's current term expires.

5.7L Hemi Performance: Cam Your Ram Part II, Inches & Pounds
Torque Gains Offered by Increased Displacement for the 5.7L Hemi
Back in Part 1 of our Cam the Ram series on the 5.7L Hemi, we subjected the bone-stock test motor to a simple cam swap. The wrecking yard motor was run on the engine dyno using a Fast XFI/XIM management system in two configurations, first with the stock cam, then with a mild Comp cam. Equipped with the stock cam, the 5.7L produced 370 hp and 407 lb-ft of torque. These numbers jumped to 401 hp and 427 lb-ft with the installation of the 260H-13 Comp Cam. The cam not only improved the peak power numbers, but offered consistent gains through most of the rev range with no loss in low-speed torque. Hot off the success of camming our Ram, we decided to take things to the next level. Looking to continue the theme of impressive torque production without sacrificing drivability, we elected the tried and true method of increased displacement. Basically we're adding inches to get pounds—foot-pounds of torque.
As much as we hated the thought of tearing into a perfectly good running Hemi, out came the wrenches and sparks began to fly. The 5.7L was disassembled and sent over to L&R Automotive for machining and assembly. To increase the displacement, Scat Enterprises helped us out with a stroker assembly designed specifically for the 5.7L Hemi. Unlike the larger 6.1L, the displacement of the 5.7L was limited by a combination of the small bore size and the ability to dramatically increase it. The majority of the additional displacement came from increasing the stroke from 3.578-inches to 3.795-inches. Even larger stroker cranks are available for the 5.7L block but cost and complexity increase with displacement. The combination of the 3.795-inch stroker crank and 3.937-inch (.020-over) bore resulted in a final displacement of just under 370 ci. This combination nearly matched the displacement of the larger 6.1L, but with a different bore/stroke combination (the 6.1L combined the stock 3.578-inch stroke with a 4.055 bore). In addition to the hike in displacement, the forged rotating assembly provided a bulletproof short-block that was capable of withstanding some serious punishment.
The Scat and Probe crank, rods, and pistons were combined with a set of new rings from Total Seal, and bearings. To get things started, we installed the 260H-13 cam on the 5.7L, but don't worry, we had a wilder cam waiting in the wings. The cam was installed using new cam bearings, but we elected to reuse the factory lifters, despite the 5.7L being equipped with MDS and our intention of eventually running a high-lift, long-duration cam. In addition to the cam, Comp Cams also supplied a new double-roller timing chain—an important component on a motor that eventually made power all the way to 7,000 rpm. To feed our newfound displacement, we elected to have the stock 5.7L Hemi heads ported by the flow experts at Total Engine Airflow. The stock heads already offered sufficient airflow to support more than 525 hp, but when searching for added performance, more flow is always a good idea. Besides, the ported head might support the additional power we have planned for the future. Porting the heads improved the flow rate by more than 50 cfm, bringing the intake flow from 260 cfm to nearly 320 cfm. The exhaust flow improved by just more than 35 cfm to 205 cfm (both measurements at .600 lift). The heads were secured to the stroker short-block using ARP head studs and Fel Pro MLS head gaskets.
In terms of the oiling system, we installed a new stock oil pump, but augmented the system with a Milodon oil pan, pickup, and windage tray. In preparation for Part 3 of this adventure, we welded a drain tube in the Milodon pan for our future turbo motor. We also replaced the factory injectors with a set of 75 pounders using the stock fuel rail. It was necessary to install spacers under the rail to make room for the taller injectors. As with the 5.7L cam test, we utilized a set of SRT8 exhaust manifolds feeding short extensions. Long-tube headers would help this combination substantially, but it was interesting to see the power produced with the stock manifolds. Another carryover from our original 5.7L cam test was the manual throttle body (converted from drive-by-wire). The motor was run with both the stock plastic truck and STR8 aluminum intake manifolds, and both managed to produce the same peak power (with both cams). This came somewhat as a surprise, as we expected the truck intake to offer more low-speed power but lose out on top compared to the SRT8. Run with the 260H-13 cam, the 370-inch stroker 5.7L Hemi pumped out 454 hp and 453 lb-ft of torque. True to form, torque production from the stroker exceeded 425 lb-ft from 3,900 rpm to 5,600 rpm. Best of all, the stroker improved the power output (over the 5.7L) throughout the rev range, offered improved idle quality (with the same cam), and looked just like the stock motor. The additional displacement increased the power output by 53 hp and 26 lb-ft over the 5.7L equipped with the same cam (the 5.7L produced 401 hp and 427 lb-ft in Part 1).
Despite our success with the stroker combination, we couldn't help but wonder if the extra cubes might respond to wilder cam timing. Additionally, would the expected improvements in peak power come with a penalty down low? To find out, we installed a much more aggressive cam profile. The custom hydraulic roller cam from Comp Cams featured .589 lift (both intake and exhaust) and dual-pattern duration specs of 239/247 degrees at .050. The LSA checked in at an idle-friendly 114 degrees. As we experienced in Part 1, cam swaps on the Hemi were a breeze on the engine dyno. After the swap, the new cam offered some serious power gains, increasing the peak numbers from 454 hp and 453 lb-ft to 526 hp and 451 lb-ft. Impressive as the numbers sounded (and they were), they did come with a cost. The trade off for all that top-end power was a loss in torque below 5,100 rpm; as much as 38 lb-ft. Which cam offers more appeal depends a lot on the intended use. If you are looking for maximum acceleration, then the big cam is the way to go, but most street drivers might be better served by the smaller cam. Of course, you can always venture somewhere in between. Check back with us next month, when we take our boost-ready stroker and pump up the volume with a single turbo kit.

Chapel Hill, North Carolina
On a soft gray Monday in mid-October, the Interfaith Council shelter in downtown Chapel Hill has a brand-new volunteer, brimming with enthusiasm that's almost annoying at 10:15 in the morning. "How're you all doing back there?" John Edwards calls out to the kitchen crew as he beams into the dining room, trailed by a clutch of staffers, University of North Carolina antipoverty activists and TV cameras. While he chats up the shelter volunteers and residents, alternately squinting his perma-tanned face with concern and flashing the yard-wide smile that almost won Iowa, two white-haired women on the kitchen crew, both named Jane, are nudged toward him for a souvenir shot. "I want this picture for me," Edwards says with his best Sunday school charm, hugging the women under his arms. After a bit more chatting and hugging, there's a momentary lull. Hands on hips, with mock impatience, Edwards tilts toward the kitchen and hollers out, "So am I supposed to do something or what?"
"Well, we've got some unloading," offers Paul Eberhardt, the day shelter coordinator. Quick as a flash, last year's Democratic nominee for Vice President is back in the pantry, tearing cans of generic lima beans and tomatoes out of their plastic-wrapped cardboard while Eberhardt feeds him an earful of insights from the front lines of poverty-fighting. "Lately we're getting hospital workers, construction workers, here at lunchtime," Eberhardt says, talking fast. "It's low employment now, not just unemployment." Edwards purses his lips, furrows his brow, gives every sign of listening, even as he briskly moves on to filling up water pitchers, smiling on cue for the local affiliates until it's time to clap his hands and cry out to his staff, "What's next?"
Around this time last year, a lot of people were asking that very same question about Edwards. After his cometlike ascent from first-term senator to the national Democratic ticket, Edwards crashed to earth when he failed to persuade running mate John Kerry to contest George W. Bush's questionable victory in Ohio. Suddenly, Edwards's giddy three-year campaign to lift himself into the political stratosphere–and knit together the "two Americas" he dearly loved to preach about–was over. His wife, Elizabeth, had been diagnosed with breast cancer. His Senate seat, which Edwards had abandoned to focus on the national race, would return to Republican hands in January, leaving him without a built-in mechanism for staying in the national spotlight. For the first time in his adult life, this blue-skies optimist was staring straight into a blank horizon. Friends and admirers offered advice and speculated: Would he return to his law practice? Start a foreign-policy think tank to shore up his presidential résumé? Run for governor? Cash in on his connections with some Dan Quayle-style consultancies?

"No institution is more responsible for the recent explosion of patent litigation in the software industry, the rise of patent trolls, and the proliferation of patent thickets than the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The patent court's thirtieth birthday this week is a good time to ask whether it was a mistake to give the nation's most patent-friendly appeals court such broad authority over the patent system." Interesting.

Over the years the vendor rankings in the Data and Information Management category have shifted between the three major players: IBM, Microsoft and Oracle. This year IBM takes the top spot, significantly increasing its technical and financial satisfaction scores and boosting its overall rating by seven points.
IBM's technical rankings likely got a boost when it released DB2 10 and InfoSphere Warehouse 10, new editions of its core database and data warehouse software with new capabilities for handling "big data" and tools for automating data management chores. Microsoft's technical satisfaction scores also rose this year-the company's SQL Server 2012 database release was popular in the channel-but not enough to overcome IBM's gains.

In nothing short of earth-shattering news, it was reported that the Dex One – SuperMedia yellow pages companies merger is apparently on the rocks due to the companies' creditors being unwilling to accept financial terms. Worse yet, the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission filing states that the companies might have to restructure under a Chapter 11 bankruptcy in order to make the merger deal work!
Quoted from the Form 8-K filed by Dex One:
In light of the current negotiations, however, Dex One recognizes that the parties may not be able to obtain sufficient approval from the senior secured lenders to any proposed amendments to the parties' respective credit agreements. Therefore, possible alternatives to the current transaction structure to effect the Merger are under consideration, including a "prepackaged" restructuring of the parties' senior secured indebtedness through proceedings instituted under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code to implement possible amendments that may garner sufficient, though not unanimous, support from the parties' respective lenders, while otherwise maintaining the basic economic terms of the Merger Agreement. However, there can be no assurance that Dex One and SuperMedia can effect a transaction through an alternative structure, that the necessary consents will be obtained, or that the Merger will be consummated.
If you haven't kept up with recent years' history, the surreal part of this is that both companies already emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy restructuring not that long ago. In June of 2009, R. H. Donnelley Company filed for bankruptcy, and Dex One rose from its ashes in February of 2010. Idearc Media, earlier known as Verizon Information Services, had been spun off from Verizon with an irresponsibly high debt load, and as a result filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in March of 2009, later to emerge from the rubble as SuperMedia in December of 2009.
The Triangle Business Journal headline reports that bankruptcy is a possibility for Dex One, perhaps because the filing states that "Dex One recognizes…". However, the wording is such that it clearly states that possible (more…)
