John Stamos has blamed a wacky appearance on Australian TV on alcohol.
"When I went on that morning show, I was drunk," the star told The Advocate of his 2007 appearance on the Australian talk show "Mornings With Kerri-Anne," in which he insulted a Daily Telegraph reporter. "Yes, I was on sleeping pills and I was jet-lagged, but I was also just plastered. And I never said I wasn't, but that whole Warner Bros. publicity machine got involved and said, 'Just say he was jet-lagged.' I said, 'No, tell 'em the truth! I was f***ing drunk in Australia. Big deal.'"

John was candid on a number of topics with the mag, including his feelings about "Dancing With the Stars."
Asked if he would ever join the show to show off some of his Broadway moves, he said, "No."

"Not to be disrespectful, but isn't that the place you go when you don't have a career?" he said. "Why would I dance on that show when I get to dance on Broadway?"
John, now starring in Broadway's "Bye Bye Birdie," also opened up about his seemingly eternally youthful looks.
"It's funny, because I haven't had one ounce of Botox or any of that," he said. "I finally got gray hairs in the past couple years, and I wore it on 'ER,' but they made me cover it up in this show. I don't want to be one of those weird-looking guys who gets old but stays looking young."
As for his thoughts on his fellow Hollywood-turned-Broadway stars – including Daniel Craig and Hugh Jackman, starring in "A Steady Rain" – he joked that the handsome actors had a club.
"Some woman asked me the other day, 'Is there a place where all you heartthrobs hang out?' I said, 'Yes, it's called the Hollywood Heartthrob Club. We just sit around and talk about how hot we are.' There is a great bar, Bar Centrale, where everybody goes after their shows, so it's a good place to see your fellow actors."

Hey maybe @BarackObama will listen to doctors & delay EMR mandate next! ==> http://t.co/6AQZoKEAKZ #obamacare #fail
— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) October 23, 2013
This article makes some interesting points about the challenge of EMR. However, I don't think there's any shot that the EHR train is going to slow down. At the best there might be a delay in meaningful use stage 2. Although, that could be unlikely as well. P.S. There is no EMR Mandate.
Agree.User interaction is vital! @CollaborateMD @jearch It takes good #EMR design to make sure the #patient is still the focus of the visit.
— Joyce Ercolino (@jearch) October 21, 2013
Not true. It takes GREAT EMR design to do that. The regulations are just brutal and don't focus on the patient.

Breyers Ice Cream Shrinks To 1.5 Quarts
Reader Bill noticed that someone hit Breyers Ice Cream with the grocery shrink ray… again:
I'm just getting over the first wave of ice cream shrinkage (from 1/2 gallon to 1.75 quarts) when I noticed today that Breyer's is upping (or rather shrinking) the ante – they're beginning to roll out 1.5 qt packages!
We checked Breyers' website and noticed that they haven't updated from the last time they shrunk their package:
Why have you downsized your Breyers 1/2 gallon cartons?
Over the last two years or so, a number of our ice cream competitors made the decision to reduce the size of their 1/2 gallon containers. At the current time, the price on all of our ingredients, most of all the fresh cream we use in our products, has gone up dramatically in cost. In order to remain competitive, Breyers has made the difficult decision to reduce the size of our basic pack to 56 oz. We believe this change is a way of mitigating the level of future price increases compared to what otherwise might have been the case. As always, you can expect the same great Breyers quality which has been our standard for over 135 years.
They are, according to Bill's photograph, now down to 48 oz. At this rate, Breyers ice cream boxes are going to be about as full as potato chip bags.

Explosive Miller being counted on to fuel Ohio State's new spread offense
- Written by MATT HAMMOND
When Urban Meyer took the Ohio State coaching job last November, there was one person he wanted to meet more than anyone else.
Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller, left, is expected to do big things in Urban Meyer's spread offense. Miller was the team's leading rusher as a freshman. (EXAMINER FILE PHOTO | RICK REED)
His first priority was to find quarterback Braxton Miller, who will be counted on to lead Meyer's spread offense.
"I just met Braxton and I wanted to meet Braxton. That was very important," Meyer told a group of media members at his introductory press conference on Nov. 28. "And with all due respect to everybody in this room, that was the highlight of my day … not this.
"Sitting there shaking hands with that good-looking quarterback with a nice smile and who is a very humble player, I'm not using the correct adjectives. But because there's mixed company around, I'm not going to use the correct adjectives about how excited I am."

If you think workplace teams are a great idea but would be thrilled if you weren't on one again in your lifetime, you're not alone.
According to a new University of Phoenix survey, 95 percent of respondents say teams serve an important purpose, but only 24 percent prefer to work that way. Younger workers like it even less. Many say they would rather work alone.
"I think the fact that less than a quarter of workers would prefer to work on teams is a pretty shocking statistic although it doesn't surprise me personally, says Barry Feierstein, chief business operating officer of University of Phoenix. "Teams are hard."
Different generations, different agendas and different personality types thrown together creates tension, Feierstein says.
Another problem: Team members may resent being put on teams that add to their workload or force them to work closely with people they would rather avoid. Add in the various authority levels of different team members and "you've got a dance you have to make figure out work," he says.
The survey also finds some of the other reasons that contribute to the negative feelings about teams:
— Gossip.
— Passing the buck.
— Disagreements that turn physical. (Believe it or not, 15 percent have reported that problem.)
Feierstein says he has never been on a team where a confrontation turned physical although he's seen "staplers and books sent flying through the air," so it could be respondents were judging such interactions as physical.
The University of Phoenix integrates teamwork and collaboration into its curriculum because officials there believe those skills need to be developed before students enter the workplace, he says.
This may be a more important skill than ever because the students have grown up communicating with technology, one-on-one cellphone texting, online with Facebook friends or tweets to the world. In other words, students may have more difficulty working face to face on teams, he says.
"It used to be that you interfaced with friends on the phone or by meeting them face to face," he says. "You learned to listen to the tone and have empathy for what they were saying. But now, because of technology, collaboration has become more sterile. Personalities are not able to come across and you can't pick up on nonverbal body language."
That's why Feierstein says the survey should be used as a call to action.
"For me personally, it will make me more aware that when I'm on a team most of the other people in the room don't want to be there," he says. "That's something as a leader I need to acknowledge and deal with."
Team members need to know that the leaders understand their lack of excitement, "but that we will win or die as a team."
Anyone who continues to express negativity should be reminded that such bad attitudes won't be tolerated, he says.
"I think you've got to be honest with people that you know they may have had bad experiences in the past because that will help take away some of the anxiety," Feierstein says. "You've got to approach this situation so that you can help the team develop a way to trust one another."
Team members can help make the experience more pleasant.
"If I were a more junior member, I would view it as a chance to build awareness of myself, as a way to build my network and to show other people my skill set," he says. "You can learn a lot if you go into it with a positive attitude ... that will help you be more effective."

Beware of sea breezes
This is a relatively short stage but once again, Prudhomme has allowed for the possibility of a surprise. With 70 coastal kilometres into the finish, echelons are sure to form if the wind picks up strongly off the English Channel. Of course, last year Prudhomme and co. made a good deal of exactly this happening on the opening road stage in Holland but the stage passed in almost total calm. But even in easy conditions, there is sure to be a big battle near the front of the peloton in the closing kilometres, which should conclude with a hotly contested bunch sprint.
Details -
Distance: 164.5 km
Highest point: 281m
Category: Flat
Vin Denson says...
"On paper it looks nailed-on for the sprinters but it depends a lot on the weather along the coast. If the wind gets up, you might see echelons forming, and so as usual it'll be a scrap to stay near the front. One thing's for sure – it'll be very, very fast."
Matt White says...
"Wind will be a big factor in deciding how stressful today is. Another day for the pure sprinters and one to dread if the argy-bargy of cross-winds are not your thing."

Extreme cold blasts Nebraska
The extreme cold has a way of pushing equipment to its limits. Power lines are no exception. Monday evening the power went out near First and N Street in Broken Bow due to a connector problem. Most businesses were running on half power Tuesday morning as utility workers repaired the lines. According to the utility department, residential homes turned cold so that the power pull it took to heat them back up blew a fuse. A second power outage for the day was on South H. A line broke due to a stressed area, once again due to the cold. "The hard part is that the work is so painfully slow" Broken Bow Utilities Superintendent Doug Staab commented. "Watching the lift slowly move up is hard when it is so cold. Nothing wants to go." Area schools went from having a late start in Tuesday, to canceling all together. "The bottom line was the wind chill" Ken Kujath responded when asked about the deciding factor for closing school Tuesday. "We just couldn't put 900 people on the road and in a dangerous situation." One often imagines sledding, snowball fights and building snowmen when you think of winter. These last few days however, that has not been the case. Due to negative temperatures and high winds, simply staying warm has been all most people can think about. According to Shawn Jacobs of the National Weather Service, windchills in the Broken Bow area hit 20-30 degrees below zero Tuesday evening, 40 degrees below if you were standing on a hilltop. "Skin at that temperature will feeze in less than 10 minutes," he said. "Keeping exposed skin covered is the big thing and dressing in layers." Holcomb Mechanical has seen almost triple the calls for heating issues. Trotter Service Station has had an increase in their full-service fueling. Pharmacies are mailing and delivering more prescriptions to customers who can't get out in the bitter cold. City workers are in the shop working on equipment, making sure it is ready for the next snowfall. All over people are finding it difficult to work in negative degree weather and double digit wind chill. Driving in these winter conditions is another key issue many people are concerned with. The general rule for driving is the "three-second" rule; keeping a three-second gap between you and the vehicle ahead of you. On icy roads and in blowing snow though, a more accurate allowance would be four to six seconds. If conditions are so bad that you might have a difficult time stopping in that considerable cushion, you might think twice before driving at all. The major part of safe driving when roads are unfavorable is speed. Slowing down is the key issue. Cruise control, although convenient, can be dangerous in winter weather. Not using the cruise control will help you stay more alert and avoid over-reacting to sudden changes. Anticipate ahead of time what your options would be if you had to act swiftly to sudden changes, and always buckle up. With winter only being a third over we have more days of cold weather to face. Jacobs said Thursday and Friday should be nice, with temperatures edging above freezing, but expect another blast of winter weather to roll in around Sunday. Another Arctic front is coming our way, so take your time and remember to bundle up, it's cold out there!

For instance, the update includes a feature called dynamic root disk, which makes patching the operating system a little faster, reducing overall downtime by 50% (according to HP). This feature allows you to create a new root partition, make a copy of the operating system there, and apply the updates to this new copy. End users can continue to use the "old" partition, while the admins test the new partition with the new updates applied, and if it's ready to go, they can just reboot into the new partition. The old partition remains intact in case the new partition doesn't boot or otherwise fails.
This new update will also introduce an online distribution model for HP-UX, which before was distributed old-world style. Now you can get a license within a few hours and download the operating system online. It also comes with its own disk scrubbing feature, meaning you no longer have to pay someone else to do it. There are also numerous improvements in the clustering extensions of HP-UX.
HP-UX 11i v3 Update 4 will be released tomorrow, April 17th.

USA and Canada began holding an annual match, which became known as the CanAm series. For ten years the Women Eagles went undefeated in this test series.
• In 1990 the Women's National Team, competing under the name 'USA Presidents 15', traveled to New Zealand to compete in the historic Women's World Rugby Festival. The WNT posted a record of 3-1 with their only loss coming at the hands of New Zealand.
• In 1991, the USA Women's National Team won the inaugural Women's World Cup. In front of a crowd of about 5,000 people, the Eagles went on to control England in the final 19-6 and take the title.

• In 2008, the USA Women's National 7s Team, coached by the first female USA Rugby National 7s Team Coach, Jules McCoy, won the Hong Kong 7s for the first time ever. The USA beat Canada 21-7 in the final in front of 40,000 fans.
• In 2009, the USA Women's National 7s Team competed in the first ever, combined Men's & Women's IRB Rugby Sevens World Cup in Dubai, UAE, barely losing to New Zealand in the semi-finals.
• On December 18, 2010, a USA Women's Referee became the first female to ever referee an IRB international game. USA Rugby Referee Dana Teagarden was appointed by the International Rugby Board (IRB) to the senior men's international test match between the Netherlands and Hong Kong in Amsterdam.
• In January 2012, USA Rugby announced the first full-time contracts for USA Women's and Men's Rugby 7s players. In partnership with the United States Olympic Committee (USOC), 23 rugby sevens athletes received fulltime training contracts.

What is National Girls and Women in Sports Day?
NGWSD was started by the National Association for Girls and Women in Sports to honor Olympic volleyball athlete Flo Hyman for her achievements and work in women's equality in sports. Since Hyman's death in 1986, the NGWSD has become a day where we remember the past and celebrate current sports achievement for women.
"Today, strong girls and women excel in many areas of athletics, even in traditionally male-dominated sports. Females reach their goals, break records and win championships. Participating in sports creates champions on and off the field. These champions not only lead in their respective sports, they lead in their homes, in their schools, at their jobs, and in their communities. They lead on a path that has been paved by skilled and accomplished women who have gone before them."
-National Association of Girls and Women in Sports
This day recognizes all the women who have overcome adversity and given other women in sports the opportunity to participate. It celebrates the progress women's sports has made and honors those who worked hard to make it happen.

India 250/3 at tea against England on Day One
Ahmedabad, Nov 15 (IANS):
India were 250/3 at tea with Virender Sehwag scoring a run-a-ball 117 on the first day of the cricket Test match against England at the Sardar Patel Stadium here Thursday.
India piled on another 130 runs in the post-lunch session losing three wickets in the process in 30 overs.
The hosts, who were 120/0 at lunch, lost their first wicket in the second over after lunch. Opener Gautam Gambhir tried to cut spinner Graeme Swann square of the wicket but the ball kept low and hit the off-stump, ending his innings five short of a half-century.
Cheteshwar Pujara provided good support to Sehwag, who went on to score the 23rd century of his career which included 15 splendid boundaries all over the park and a magnificent six.
However, the Delhi batsman tried to sweep Swann but misjudged the bounce and got bowled bringing in batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar.
Tendulkar only lasted 18 balls getting out in the second last over before tea. Three balls after hitting his second boundary of the day off the bowling of Swann, Tendulkar lofted a half-volley which went staight to the hands of Samit Patel in deep-mid-wicket.
At tea, Pujara and Virat Kohli were batting at 68 and 0, respectively.
Swann clinched all the three wickets giving away 60 runs in his 18 overs.

T-Mobile is catching flak for abruptly banning its customers from receiving text updates from WeedMaps, an opt-in service that points you in the direction of the nearest legal medical marijuana dispensary. Does T-Mobile have the right to stifle legal smokers?
Ez Texting, a firm which specializes in carpet bombing you with mass-texted advertisements (TEXT CUPCAKE to 3424 FOR MORE INFO ON CUPCAKES), represents WeedMaps, and has filed suit on its behalf. According to court papers, T-Mobile has confirmed the blockade, and despite attempts at negotiation, is not budging: if you're a T-Mobile customer, you're going to have to score your weed somewhere else.
Is this legal? It's worth keeping in mind that WeedMaps, ostensibly, makes use only of authorized dispensaries in states where such use is permitted. The service cannot be considered spam, either, so T-Mobile can't say it's protecting its customers from that.
So what is it protecting them from? Gigi Sohn, of consumer rights group Public Knowledge, says the blockade "is yet another example of a totally arbitrary decision by a carrier to block text message calls between consumers and organizations they want to communicate with." But I'm not sure how "totally arbitrary" it is—this sounds to us like more corporate information whitewashing for the sake of PR. [NY Times]

IGN - SuperBot Entertainment and IGN square off this afternoon -- and you get a chance to win the game.
stream ended over an hour ago. Story got approved just now?
i saw the last 30 minutes. i played since the first beta and i can definitely see the improvements. my hype for the game died when it was confirmed to only be 20 characters though. surprisingly though, after watching that 1on1 im actually interested in it again, even if the roster doesnt interest me.
They say they will do more DLC characters, and hopefully they are all free, I am not gonna pay $3-5 for a character...
i think there will be hidden characters that would be creative do not tell us we just find out

Balloon Fiesta 2011
The breakfast burritos are warm. The air is crisp. And the coffee is strong enough to keep everyone awake for the Dawn Patrol. Saturday, Oct. 1, through Sunday, Oct. 9, hot-air balloon pilots will take to the skies for Albuquerque's most iconic event.
In addition to New Mexican breakfast staples, this year's concessions have a decidedly state-fair bent—bacon dipped in chocolate and sausage on a stick dipped in pancake batter. And while eating foods dipped in other foods, you can watch up to 10 new balloons join more than 100 Special Shapes, including a Kiwi bird from New Zealand and a giant blue shark from Brazil.
Balloon Fiesta Park is at 4401 Alameda NE, one mile west of 1-25.
Tickets: Call (888) 422-7277 or visit balloonfiesta.com to get passes ahead of time. Each $8 advance ticket includes a complimentary entrance to the Anderson-Abruzzo Albuquerque International Balloon Museum. Five-packs of advance tickets are also available for $35.
Or wait in line and pay $6 per person at the gate. Fiesta admission is always free to children under 12.
Parking: Onsite parking is $10.
If you'd rather not battle over parking spaces, a Park & Ride shuttle brings passengers from remote lots to the field on Thursday, Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Park & Ride tickets include the shuttle service and fiesta admission.
Advance passes are $12 for adults, $6 for children ages 6 to 12, at balloonfiesta.com or the Balloon Fiesta Gift Shop.
Day-of passes will cost you $20 for adults, $10 for children ages 6 to 12. Be forewarned: The Park & Ride attendants do not accept cash. Bring a credit card.
Hitch a ride at:
• Hoffmantown Church 8888 Harper NE, northeast lot
• Cliff's Amusement Park 4800 Osuna NE
• Coronado Mall 6600 Menaul NE, southwest lot
• Intel 1600 Rio Rancho Boulevard SE / Highway 528, southern lot
• Sagebrush Community Church 6440 Coors NW
(no service Saturday evenings or Sunday mornings)
• Sandia Area Federal Credit Union 6410 Coors NW, just west of Sagebrush
(Saturday evenings and Sunday mornings only)
Biking: For the intrepid traveler, a free bike valet will provide a safe and secure location for bicycles throughout the fiesta. Balloon Fiesta Park lies just east of the North Division Trail, and cyclists are encouraged to wear helmets and lights if traveling in the dark.
More information: Glean everything from GPS coordinates to when the Glowdeo starts by calling 821-1000 (the area code for Albuquerque and Santa Fe is 505) or toll-free (888) 422-7277, or visit balloonfiesta.com.

|Welcome to
Doolin - County Clare - Ireland
|Doolin is a small fishing village on the west coast of Ireland,
often referred to as the capital of Irish traditional music.
At the bottom of this page you will find a link for a listing of places to visit and stay in Doolin and the surrounding area that includes places of interest and accommodation like Bed & Breakfasts, Guesthouses, Farmhouse Accommodations, Hotels, Rental Cottages, Hostels and Campsites,
as well as Restaurants, Pubs, Shopping and more...
About Doolin
Doolin is renowned world wide for its wealth of Irish Traditional Music and attracts visitors of all ages and from all walks of life. Some have returned year after year since the 60's, others stopped for a couple of days on their travels
- and never left. It is hard to tell what it is about Doolin that takes a hold of people, apart from the music. You'll just have to find out for yourself.
Fisherstreet - Doolin
While in the past there were three Music-Pubs in Doolin, McDermott's, McGann's and O'Connor's, nowadays a fourth music venue has established itself with regular traditional music sessions. Fitzpatrick's Bar, also known as Fitz's, has greatly gained popularity with the locals. You will find music nightly in all the Pubs during the summer months and - if in the right place at the right time - some of the best sessions in the winter. Many well-known names in the Irish Traditional Music Scene have started out in Doolin and numerous already famous musicians have come just to join in a session.
Roadford - Doolin
The Russell Brothers lived all their lives in Doolin and achieved world fame with their music. Especially Micho, who toured Europe and the USA several times.
Their names are synonymous with Doolin and the Irish music. Pakie died in 1977, Micho in 1994 and Gussie passed away in 2004. But the music lives on. The local Community Centre is named after the Russells and every year, on the last weekend in February, Doolin hosts the Russell Memorial Weekend in their memory.
Doolin Community Centre
The music is not the only reason why you should make Doolin your base. Its location is perfect for exploring North Clare with its beautiful sites like the Cliffs of Moher among a beautiful coastline and The Burren with the Aillwee Cave and the famous Poulnabrone Dolmen. You can take boat trips to the Aran Islands or a cruise around the cliffs. There is lots more to see and to explore within an hours drive.
The Cliffs of Moher reaching a height of over 200 meters, extend for 8 km from Hag's Head to Aill na Searrach and the cliff face continues right down to Doolin.
Cavers and Potholers have visited Doolin for many years. A network of caves stretches right from the centre of Doolin for a couple of miles to the north. One of the greatest attractions for cavers to this area was the cave of Pol an Ionain or Poll an Eidhneáin, as it is spelled in Irish. But even though Doolin Cave is now developed as a showcave, there are still lots of passages around Doolin for the experienced caving enthusiasts to explore.
Doolin Cave was opened to the public in 2006 as a show cave. Doolin Cave is home to The Great Stalactite, which is one of the largest known stalactites in the world with a length of 6.54 meters. For more information please visit their website at www.doolincave.ie
Entrance of the Aillwee Cave
Another show cave in the area is the Aillwee Cave near Ballyvaughan. The Aillwee Cave has been developed as a show cave many years ago. It is well signposted and you are bound to come across it on your trip through the Burren. And considering the Irish weather, there will always be a day for going underground.
Doolin Pitch and Put
If you like to stay active, Doolin Pitch & Putt is one way to enjoy fresh sea air while the well known Lahinch Golf Course is only seven miles from Doolin.
Or you could hire a bike to explore the area.
|Doolin has also become extremely popular with surfers.
The Surf at Doolin Beach
And if the swell is from the wrong direction it's not that far to check out the waves at the beach in Lahinch.
The coast near Doolin is also a great location in Ireland for Bouldering - a type of Rock Climbing. You can find information online by searching for
'Bouldering at Doolin' or 'Bouldering at Lackglass'
|If all this sounds to much like hard work, there is still horse riding,
walking and fishing - or you could have a chat with those lads
Doolin Village was given it's name by the Townland of Doolin which lies half way between Fisherstreet and Roadford. This was once the location of Doolin House, Residence of the poet Francis MacNamara, the Landlord of this area in those days.
Nicolette, the daughter of Francis MacNamara and author of the book "Two Flamboyant Fathers" was married to Anthony Devas. The first couple of chapters of her book will give you some understanding of the characteristics of the MacNamaras, their friends and some of the old characters of Doolin in days long gone. Her sister Caitlín was married to the Welsh poet Dylan Thomas. Regular visitors to Doolin also included well-known writers and artists, such as Augustus John, J.M. Synge and George Bernard Shaw.
Maybe it was the influence off those free and rebellious spirits, their love for the arts and their eccentricity that made Doolin such an accepting and forgiving place - rather more metropolitan than rural in it's ways.
Rumour has it that it was in Doolin that J.R.R. Tolkien got his inspiration for
'The Lord Of The Rings'...

Sophomore guard Courtney Pigram (
"What do you say about Courtney Pigram, a guy who finishes with 29 points, 18 assists and eight rebounds. That's really unbelievable" said ETSU head coach Murry Bartow, whose team improved to 22-8 overall, 16-2 A-Sun. "Courtney played some at the one and at the two tonight, and he really did a great job. He showed tonight why he should be the player of the year in this league."
Pigram was not alone, however, as junior forward Kenyona Swader (Smyrna) collected a career high 24 points on 6-of-9 shooting from beyond the 3-point line, matching the third best long-range shooting night in ETSU history. Meanwhile, senior walk-on Nick Tuggle (
Swader received more minutes in the game when senior forward Brad Nuckles (Council,
"We see that from Nick all the time in practice and I guess now I'll have to answer a lot of questions about why he doesn't play more," Bartow said. "Kenyona Swader was just fantastic, too. It was a good win, especially to beat Mercer, a team that is one of the more improved teams in our league this year."
The first half was filled with highlight reel plays, beginning with Tuggle electrifying the crowd with a 3-pointer and five early points. It continued with dunks from Swader, Thomas and junior forward Andrew Reed (Port
For the game, ETSU finished with a 55 percent shooting clip (41-of-75), while hitting on 45 percent from beyond the arc (13-of-29). As a team, the Bucs dished out 29 assists, and hit on 17-of-20 shots from the foul line.
Mercer (13-16, 8-10) had four players in double figures, led by 27 points from James Florence, as well as 20 from Ross Alacqua, 14 from Shaddean Aaron and 12 from Brian Pfohl.

Property taxes, state parks eyed in Nebraska budget
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Property owners could get a tax break, state parks could get new cabins, and Nebraska could see new flood- and drought-mitigation projects if a series of budget bills become law.The Legislature's Appropriations Committee is expected to finish its work this week on changes to the state budget. The tentative package includes $25 million for a state fund that offsets property taxes, $17.5 million for deferred park maintenance and $32 million for water projects by the middle of next year.Sen. Heath Mello, the committee chairman, said lawmakers avoided tapping the state's cash reserve for long-term expenses. The rainy-day fund is traditionally used for construction projects and to pay the state's bills when revenue drops unexpectedly. Mello says he wants to end the current budget year with at least $643 million in the fund."In developing a state budget, it's about balancing priorities," Mello said.Lawmakers were given more leeway with the budget on Friday, when the Nebraska Economic Forecasting Board predicted that the state will collect an additional $99 million in the current two-year budget period. State revenue was expected to reach $4.1 billion in the fiscal year that ends on June 30, and $4.2 billion the following year.The committee has agreed to support an additional $25 million per year for the state's property tax credit program, which is used to offset local property taxes. State tax officials calculate the credit by dividing the total amount available by the total value of taxable property in Nebraska. The fund has held steady at $115 million over the last several years, even as property values — and property taxes — have increased.The initial water projects include Omaha sewer upgrades, shoring up levees around Offutt Air Force Base and funding to take some irrigated cropland out of production in central Nebraska.Taking the land out of production will help recharge the groundwater supply and ease pressure on the Platte River in dry years, said Sen. Tom Carlson of Holdrege, who led a state water-funding task force last year.Carlson said the proposed budget bills would generate about $32 million for water projects by mid-2015. The Nebraska Department of Natural Resources will designate future water projects, he said."This is a really good start," Carlson said. "We've never had this kind of a commitment before from the state, and I'm really pleased with it."Nebraska's state parks could also receive new funding for upgrades to ensure they comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, and to build new bedroom-camper cabins at Ponca State Park. The cost of deferred maintenance in the state parks has risen to $43 million, according to the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission."I am convinced that we can no longer ignore the problem, which is very serious now," Lincoln Sen. Bill Avery said in a committee hearing last month.

DevX interviewed Bjarne Stroustrup about C++0x, the new C++ standard that is due in 2009. Bjarne Stroustrup has classified the new features into three categories Concurrency, Libraries and Language. The changes introduced in the Concurrency makes C++ more standardized and easy to use on multi-core processors. It is good to see that some of the commonly used libraries are becoming standard (eg: unordered_maps and regex).

The games that ferrets love to play are somewhat similar to those that a toddler would like - chase, hide-and-seek, exploring new places and things, and other similar activities. If given the chance, ferrets love games and activities that allow them to make a mess, such as digging and rolling in dirt, sand, or other materials. They also enjoy mock combat and tug-of-war. Many of their games end with their playthings being stashed in their "secret" toy spot, whether the plaything is a jingle ball or your car keys!
So what are some specific games you can play with your ferret? Here are a few examples that will give you a place to start gathering ideas for fun games of your own.
A-Maze-ing Fun
You can purchase a playground kit or glue a bunch of cardboard boxes together and cut holes between them. Once you have your maze, hide treats and toys throughout the maze, and then place your ferret in the maze.
Fishing for Ferrets
Use a toy that has a fun toy suspended from a plastic stick by a string, and drag it slowly across the floor, teasing your ferret. Watch his hunting instinct go into overdrive as he chases, attacks, and tries to carry off his "prey!"
Chase your ferret around the room and "tag" him, then turn and make him chase you. Once he catches you, turn around to chase him again. If you can, get down on your hands and knees so you can be at his level when you do this.
The Towel Game
This refers to two different kinds of games. The first way to play with towels is to use it for tug-of-war with your ferrets. Rope toys can also be used. They will have a blast trying to pull the towel away from you so they can stash it with the rest of their prizes and toys.
Another version of the towel game involves getting your ferret interested in the towel by waving it around his head and teasing him with it, then waiting until he jumps on it and drags it around the room. Ferrets love this game, and you can either give them rides around the room or pull them a short way and then flip them off the towel. We guarantee they'll come back war dancing!
Seasonal Fun
This is a variation of the snorkeling for toys game, and it's a great way to pull in ferrets' need for new scents and experiences. If it snows in your area, bring some snow inside in a big plastic tub, and let them snorkel in it. You can also hide toys if you'd like. Another way to give them some seasonal fun is to bring in some fallen leaves during the autumn and allow them to dig, tunnel and throw them around. You can also place tubing, like the Super Thru Way, inside the box.
Ferret Trampoline
Place your ferrets on your bed, and use the blankets, sheets and pillows to toss your ferrets in the air, cover them up, flip them over, and in general roughhouse with them. This is an especially fun game when you have two humans and multiple ferrets, as you can really get a trampoline effect going on with the sheets!
Gently drop a small pillow on top of your ferret so he can kick it up in the air and throw it around. You can also slide your ferret into the pillowcase and play with him through it. Just be careful that you don't get any nips if he gets a little overexcited!
The Ferret Indy 500
If you have remote control cars, your ferrets will have a blast chasing them around the room, knocking them over, and attacking them. Just be sure to check them before playtimes for any loose parts or things that your ferrets could ingest so you can remove them.
Happy Human War Dance
Many of you probably know that your ferret does a little dance called the "happy weasel war dance" during which he jumps back and forth, dooking and trying to get you to play with him. But did you know that you can do this dance as well? You can, as long as you don't mind getting strange looks from your neighbors. Simply jump back and forth, making little dooking noises with your mouth and waving your arms around, and watch your ferret come after you!
These are just a few examples of games that you can play with your ferret; there are so many more that you can come up with as you spend more time with your ferret and see what he likes to play with the most. Just remember, no matter what the activity, make sure it involves his natural instincts and abilities, and you two will have a great time playing!

The Modern Mix: Shell Chairs in Traditional Settings
It's no secret: here at Apartment Therapy, we love the shell chair. It's beautiful, it's comfortable, it's (relatively) affordable (new ones cost around $250, and vintage chairs can be found on Ebay for less than that).
Although the almighty Eames design's ubiquitousness may have caused some of you to tire of it, I think it's proof of its genius and staying power that it works in all kinds of interiors, not just modern ones. If you're experiencing midcentury burnout but love the chair, read on for examples of shells in very traditional settings.

Highway Speed Sign Hacked to 100 MPH On I-75
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Mods / Hacks,
Now this is funny - it seems that someone was able to hack into the computer that controls a digital construction warning sign on I-75 in Michigan. The sign was being used to update commuters on the construction status of the highway, but was changed to read "Speed limit 100 mph go go go." Authorities say they are looking into who did it, and how they were able to do it. Maybe subcontracting things as important as highway signs isn't the way to go.

Kilowatt Pro Gaming Fitness Machine
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Video Games,
If you are like me, then you enjoy gaming more than you enjoy hitting the gym. PowerGrid Fitness has introduced the Kilowatt gaming fitness system with the goal of helping its users get a full workout while gaming. It isn't another one of those gaming bicycles either. The unit basically measures the force by which you push and pull on the controller, and works by resistance. It's versatile too, as it's compatible with Playstation, Xbox, Gamecube, PC, and Mac rigs - but they don't come cheap. There are several different models, and it looks like the cheapest will run you about $800 USD.

Xbox2/360 To Retail for Under $300?
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Video Games,
According to a Goldman Sachs analyst, Microsoft could be aiming to bring the Xbox 360 to the market for a lot less than the rumored $399 price tag. If they are to be believed, it appears that the next Xbox will hit the market within the $249-299 price range. What's more, they expect the console to drop in October or November for the holiday season. Another note of interest is that they are saying that Microsoft will continue shipping the current Xbox console to support the lower end of the market. This could explain why they expect to continue developing current-gen games after the 360 launches.

George Bush's iPod Content
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Portable Audio / Video,
Back in January we discovered that George Bush is trendy enough to carry around an iPod. Today, we are happy to bring you a bit more info on the President's digital audio listening preferences. Apparently, Dubya appreciates the country flair - no surprise being that he hails from Texas, right? As Rolling Stone's Joe Levy puts it, "What we're talking about is a lot of great artists from the '60s and '70s and more modern artists who sound like great artists from the '60s and '70s. This is basically boomer rock 'n' roll and more recent music out of Nashville made for boomers. It's safe, it's reliable, it's loving. What I mean to say is, it's feel-good music." The unfortunate thing about all this is that Bush apparently has about 250 songs on his iPod. Why even own an iPod if that is all you plan to store on it? Just get a shuffle.

We know, rebates suck - but you just can't beat this pricing, unless you qualify for the Mac OS X Up-to-Date program.
iPod Game Downloads From iPod Arcade
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Portable Audio / Video, Software,
If the few games that come preloaded onto the Apple iPod have worn thin in your eyes, iPod Arcade provides free game downloads for use exclusively on the Apple iPod. The downer here is that the coolest games like Pong, Othello, and Tetris are only available for third generation units. If you have a fourth generation iPod, you aren't left out in the cold, but you are relegated to text games and stories. Still cool nonetheless. Hey Apple, how about some official iPod game updates?

Google Local Goes Mobile
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Internet,
Google once again brings another tool which aims to better the lives of its users. Google Local is now available for mobile browsers, and its interface is very simple. You enter what you are searching for in the "What" field, and then enter a zip code or city/state combination in the "Where" field. Your search will end up a Google map showing the physical location of all the search results. The project is currently in beta - but isn't everything else Google does as well?

RIAA and MPAA To Sue Internet2 File Swappers
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Internet, Software,
It appears that students at universities that use the Internet2 ultra-high speed infrastructure have become targets of both the RIAA and MPAA. The RIAA has even gone so far as to say that they have 405 lawsuits against individuals at 18 different college campuses which they plan to file tomorrow. Those in question have been using a file-sharing application called i2hub, which allows for songs to be downloaded within 20 seconds and movies to be downloaded within five minutes. The MPAA hasn't started to file any lawsuits yet, but they have made it known that they are watching.

Apple's Tiger To Be Unleashed April 29, 2005
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: PC / Laptop, Software,
All of you salivating Mac fanatics can now stop the constant refreshing of Apple's homepage. Today it was announced by the company that the next version of their Mac operating system, OS X Tiger, will be launching in just 17 days. April 29, 2005, will be a big day in the computer world. With Apple making more and more mainstream headway, this one could be a blow to Microsoft who is still working on getting their next OS out of the door on time. As for me, I am just upset that because I got my PowerBook four days ago, I am now ineligible for the $9.95 Tiger upgrade. That, my friends, sucks.

Because I'm telling you, My Queen (sorry, I've been watching Game of Thrones. So good!), your hair is getting a LOT of attention right now. I recently wrote about traffic to this humble Callista fan site spiking dramatically in part because of your mighty coiffure. Well, let me tell you that today this trend swelled even more alarmingly, generating more than four times my normal page views, due entirely to massive amounts of hits from Yahoo, all because people specifically want to view your incredible platinum orb.
So anyway, Queen of All Whom She Orbits, I'm just saying that hairdo maintenance is critical right now. If you don't do it for yourself, at least do it for the Pony Pals™.

Scandal-ridden Penn State and the University of Central Florida who have a controversial coach are working at closing a deal to open the 2014 college football season in Dublin, Ireland.
The game would be played on Saturday August 30th 2014 and would be a UCF home game according to the Orlando Sentinel.
A source told the Sentinel the schools were still trying to nail down a venue in Ireland, which would be either Croke Park or the Aviva Stadium where the Notre Dame/Navy game took place last year.
Both teams have Irish American coaches, Bill O'Brien at Penn State and George O'Leary at UCF.
'Leary briefly coached Notre Dame in 2001 before he was fired after it was revealed he had misrepresented his college record on his resume. Earlier in his career O'Brien coached for O'Leary and considers him a mentor.
O'Brien has pulled off a remarkable turnaround for Penn State, one of the great college football programs, after the Jerry Sandusky pedophile scandal and the involvement of legendary coach Joe Paterno in the alleged cover-up threatened to destroy the program. He has quickly become a hugely popular figure in Happy Valley.
He was formerly quarterback coach with the New England Patriots.
Similarly O'Leary, who is 66-years-old and a New York native, had a legendary career at Georgia State and started off with UCF in 2004 when they went 0-11 his first year. The following year they played in a bowl game one of the best turnarounds in college football history. The team is now usually ranked in the AP Top 25.
O'Leary was in deeper controversy when a player on his team died during training. On March 18, 2008, running back Ereck Plancher died after conditioning drills. According to four UCF football players interviewed by the Orlando Sentinel, O'Leary verbally abused Plancher throughout the workout, and continued to push the young man to perform despite what they reported to be obvious physical signs that Plancher was in no shape to continue Plancher collapsed shortly after the workout and died. His parents won a $10 million lawsuit against the college
A Penn State game in Ireland is bound to rake up the pedophile issue in a country where it is already a massive story. The Jerry Sandusky episodes have been widely reported there and it is certain to be a major focus when and if the game is played.
O'Brien is already on the record as favoring a game in Dublin. "We are definitely looking into playing in Ireland, no question about it,'' O'Brien told State College News.
"We don't have an agreement with Penn State so I am not able to comment," David Hansen, UCF's Sr.
Associate AD for Internal Operations, said in an email. "We will certainly release a statement once/if we get there with PSU."
Because they are banned from bowl games for four years Penn State is anxious to give their student athletes a bowl game atmosphere which is what they believe Dublin would provide.

Cascade Natural Gas is Committed to Zero®. We are committed to zero incidents and injuries. Our goal each day is to provide safe and reliable service. Our commitment to safety extends to our customers, our employees and to the communities we serve.
Following are important safety tips for natural gas customers:
Natural gas is a fossil fuel that is composed almost entirely of methane. It was formed deep in the Earth from plants and animals that were buried by mud and sand. Over time, the mud and sand hardened into rock. Pressure from the rock squeezed the organic matter into fossil fuels like natural gas, coal, and oil.
Production companies explore, drill, and bring raw gas to the surface. It is then cleaned, and useful byproducts such as light oils and propane are recovered.Transmission companies compress natural gas so that it can be transported through buried underground interstate pipelines to city gates. Compressor stations along the way keep the gas flowing at about 15 miles per hour.
Distribution companies like Cascade Natural Gas buy natural gas from the transmission companies and deliver it to customers through a series of underground pipes. Natural gas is odorless and colorless, so an odor that smells like rotten eggs is injected to make leaks easier to detect.
Natural gas mains carry gas from the city gate station into the community. Service lines are smaller pipes that carry natural gas from the main to the meter at the customer's building. Pressure regulators keep gas under slight pressure for maximum safety and efficiency. A gas meter measures the volume of gas that is used by the customer.

Despite the challenges awaiting the Seventh-day Adventist Church, Adventists should not take a "defeatist attitude," world church president Jan Paulsen told nearly 150 church officials at the close of Spring Meeting yesterday. Instead, he challenged Adventists to be "positive" and "move forward, focused on our mission."
Paulsen also called for "inclusive discussions" and cooperation among church leaders heading into 2009, which delegates designated on April 6 as the church's 'Year of Evangelism.'
While meeting at church-run Andrews University in Berrien Springs, Michigan, delegates also voted on other business items, including nominations for church offices.
Delegates appointed Gary R. Councell, former United States Army chaplain and current associate director of Adventist Chaplaincy Ministries, to head up the department following Martin W. Feldbush's retirement. Mario Ceballos, currently a vice president for Kettering Medical Center, will fill the vacancy left as Councell assumes Feldbush's role.
Delegates also elected Paul Brantley, director of the church's newly formed Office of Assessment and Program Effectiveness, as a general field secretary. Paulsen thanked Brantley for his "skillful and effective" service at world church headquarters
In his closing prayer, Paulsen suggested church leaders should be attuned to God's direction for the church. "If, in spite of what we have decided here, You have a better way, help us to be ever sensitive to Your guidance," he said.

This CBS News video on the Challenges of Breastfeeding is wonderful in so many ways it is hard to know where to start. Especially on the heels of our disappointment with ABC News, and more dirt on their ties with industry, I think it is really important to give a huge shout out to CBS for getting breastfeeding right, and giving moms a huge boost in beating the "Booby Traps." Below is what I like about the video; read to the end for the REAL punchline–I'm issuing a challenge!
Here's what I loved about the video right off the bat:
- The breastfeeding depictions in the opening help normalize breastfeeding in our squeamish culture.
- Dr. Jennifer Ashton is attractive, sympathetic and articulate. Her image can help give breastfeeding a makeover and make it mainstream. Move over, Dr. Nancy Snyderman! I love that Dr. Ashton shares that breastfeeding was challenging for her personally, and how she was much more successful with baby #2, just like most moms (but we hope that someday, baby #1 won't get the short end of the breastfeeding stick any more, once the barriers are gone.)
- Ashton notes that breastfeeding is important for the baby AND the mother! Yes! Too often the focus is just on the baby, but moms get huge health and emotional benefits from breastfeeding too, and they are worth it. Personally I have no problem with any mom who breastfeeds because it's good for HER.
- That delicious breastfeeding baby with all the hair! Rooting away, sucking on Rosenfeld's practiced finger, I was practically cheering that little babe on.
- Watching a master at work. Expert lactation consultant (IBCLC) Freda Rosenfeld is the kind of LC I wish all moms had PAID, INSURED access to instead of some of the imposters out there. What a great role model to expose the mainstream public to, when not enough mothers know about ILCA.org and how to find the right A-team to support them through birth & breastfeeding! Rosenfeld was wonderful on camera, and a joy to watch. I absolutely worship the true "Boob Whisperers" out there, and delight in how they handle babies and mothers with supreme knowledge, skill, intuition and love.
- Lots of breastfeeding footage and even a little bit of nipple. In the right context (think Salma Hayek or Angelina Jolie on the cover of W magazine); I have total faith that the American public can embrace breastfeeding in full view.
- Highlighting the uniqueness of every mom-baby breastfeeding experience. Moms need to know to have no expectations, but to have the mindset that breastfeeding is an adventure; and that as long as you are not being booby-trapped or have medical contraindications you will probably get the hang of it just like riding a bike. Helping moms understand that they need to get help right away if they are having difficulty.
There are some things that annoyed me like the heavy-handed focus on pumps and featuring a product made by a company that is not WHO Code Compliant, but I am not going to nitpick. Overall the story was fantastic.
However, I fear that this video clip will not spread like wildfire throughout the 'net and blogosphere. Let's face it, media coverage or blogs that stir up the mommy wars and send everyone into a tweeting, commenting, posting, judging frenzy generate a lot more hits and a lot more attention than an informative, positive, supportive view of breastfeeding. But how can we encourage huge media outlets like CBS to get awesome messages about breastfeeding under the nose (literally) of the mainstream public if we only focus on the negative? Just like in parenting, we need to provide MORE positive reinforcement. So I am issuing a challenge to you:
Please write CBS and tell them how much you appreciate the fantastic video and what a great service they provided for mothers and babies. Then come back and comment that you did it; then tweet it and facebook it! I bet we can get 100 people to send them a letter. If enough of us flood them with gratitude for this feature, maybe other media outlets will follow suit. Are you listening, ABC News?
