== Earnhardt to race at Kil 1 ==

<html><head><title>html模版</title></head><body>Earnhardt to race at Kil</br>7/4/2013 7:00:00 PMEarnhardt to race at Kil-Kare Friday

GREENE COUNTY One of the biggest names in stockcar racing will be in action when the ARCA truck series makes its annual stop at Kil-Kare Speedway Friday. Bobby Dale Earnhardt has filed an entry to race in the 100 lap event.

There is a reputation that precedes the name Earnhardt in the world of NASCAR. The reputation is one of grit, determination,[http://hisayo.bcb.jp/2009/03/post-51.html#comments What do Internet Explorer and Twinkies have in com], and a fierce desire to finish first. Fortunately for NASCAR fans, the Earnhardt name will continue to be a fixture on the racetrack for many years to come through the new Earnhardt blood pursuing a racing career.

Bobby Dale Earnhardt,[http://www.hebydmy.com/viewthread.php?tid=2186406&extra= Franklin returns to Mariner lineup and other Sunday notes_1], the first grandson of Dale Earnhardt, Sr. and son of Kerry Earnhardt, is out to prove that he too deserves a chance to lineup on race day, side-by-side with today s best drivers.

He is starting his racing career the same as his grandfather, Dale Earnhardt, Sr. Bobby Dale intends to earn his way onto the starting field of the biggest stages in motorsports with determination and hard work.

Bobby Dale wants to build his racing career on the merit of his talent and not because of the name on his driver s license. Today the Earnhardt name lives on in NASCAR through Dale Earnhardt,[http://wota.zbz.bz/wiki/index.php/%E5%88%A9%E7%94%A8%E8%80%85:Lhhvjvnpiysr Amazon.com takes two more Vulcan buildings 0], Jr., but Bobby Dale Earnhardt is next in line to continue the family tradition.

Last year was the first of his three-year plan. His aim is to gain driving experience, earn respect, and create the opportunity to drive NASCAR.

His grassroots effort is something in which he has pride. I m working to raise the money on my own and start in the development series like everyone else,[http://wiki.lib.tsu.ru/wiki/%D0%A3%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA:Lrvkuhrcypbv Poll- What grade do you give the Sounders for the first half], I m no different than anyone else, he said.

Bobby Dale Earnhardt recently moved from his hometown of Rockingham,[http://delphae.net/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=240037#p240037 Justin Smoak looking like most interesting second], North Carolina, to Charleston, West Virginia, to pursue ARCA TRUCK racing because he believes the short track high action will sharpen his driving skills for his ascent to the big stage. There he has been cultivating sponsorships and laying the groundwork to achieve his goal of building a NASCAR race team.

Now that the 2013 ARCA Truck Series is here he intends to add his own chapter to the Earnhardt legacy one race at a time until he earns a hefty branch on the Earnhardt family tree. He is currently 7th in points, coming off a strong finish at Winchester Speedway last week.

The NASCAR Whelen All-American Racing series weekly Kil-Kare racers will also be in action. The late models,[http://zgart.uueasy.com/read.php?tid=2518822 Pearl Jam announce North American tour, homecoming show_0], modifieds, street stocks and compacts will join the ARCA trucks.</body></html>

== Crime victims reach out to offenders ==

<html>A powerful example
Eliza Webb was startled to find a cell phone next to her burgled car at her West Seattle home,[http://www.murakari.com/2010/08/82829-in-1.html#comments PUCO educates residents on energy choices_0], and surmised it might belong to the burglar. It did. And Webb, along with husband Blake,[http://e-joyfull.com/2013/02/2013226525050147001284000115000882520010h180030315.html#comments Amazon.com takes two more Vulcan buildings_0], set out to make things right. [Dean Rutz, The Seattle Times.]
Thanks for providing front-page coverage of Eliza Webb’s powerful example of restorative justice. 
Rather than asking what crime is committed,[http://www.19italy.com/Discuz/upload/viewthread.php?tid=5130010&extra=page%3D1&frombbs=1 Seattle Men’s Chorus, Seattle Women’s Chorus look ahead to 2014], by asking instead what harm is done, we set in motion a different response to a crime. The focus is now on the victims and the community rather than just the offender.
The primary goal then is to attend to the needs of the victims, to engage in healing the impact of the crime on the victims,[http://www.ailuohan.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=41245 ], offenders and community,[http://zenox.kr/wiki/index.php/%EC%82%AC%EC%9A%A9%EC%9E%90:Azkidbpwry Game thread, Mariners vs. Red Sox, July 10 (plus notes)- Mar], and to expect the offender to make things right with those who have been harmed.
Eliza Webb and her community responded perfectly in modeling this response to crime. May we personally and as a society learn to respond likewise.

== Monday morning kickoff — Supplemental Draft this week, ==

<html>In what passes for activity this time of year,[http://www.imlzx.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=102843 ], the NFL will hold its Supplemental Draft on Thursday,[http://www.imlzx.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=102843 ], with  the names of the six players who will? be available.
As the story notes,[http://www.cauac5.com/archives/post-24.php#comments Earnhardt to race at Kil_1], none are big names and it s possible none get selected.
One interesting name on the list is that of James Boyd of UNLV. Local college football fans may remember him as the player who was at the center of a secondary recruiting violation by UW coach Steve Sarkisian and assistant Nick Holt in 2009 (details ). Boyd signed with USC when Pete Carroll was coach there, but didn t make an impact there and transferred to UNLV.
But as , the two most likely players on the list to get drafted are receivers O.J. Ross of Purdue and DeWayne Peace of Houston. Given Seattle s sudden depth at that spot,[http://www.imlzx.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=102843 ], and use of a third-round pick to bolster it in the 2013 draft, it seems unlikely the Seahawks would need to add to that position this week.

== Commissioners put renewal levy on November ballot ==

<html><head><title>html模版</title></head><body>Commissioners put renewal levy on November ballot</br>6/28/2013 12:24:00 PMCommissioners put renewal levy on November ballotCommunity News StaffXENIA Greene County residents will be faced with a 3.5-mill renewal levy for developmental disabilities when they go to the polls in November.The county commissioners unanimously voted Thursday to put a levy on the ballot. This will be the second renewal of a levy originally passed in 2004, according to John LaRock, director of the board of developmental disabilities. The board s levy of 3.5 mills makes it the lowest taxing developmental disabilities board in the Miami Valley and a full mill below the statewide average of 4.6 mills, LaRock said. If successful, this renewal levy would mean that homeowners would pay the same amount in property taxes for this levy as they did in 2004. According to the county auditor, for every $100,000 or appraised value,[http://wiki.scytheswath.com/index.php?title=%D0%9F%D0%BE%D1%82%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%B1%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BB:Lrmklvqclqgf#Springboro_holds_on_and_beats_Beavercreek Springboro holds on and beats Beavercreek], a homeowner would pay $95.99. LaRock said the levy will accomplish the following: Maintain current millage rates through 2019, meaning the board will have operated 15 years without asking for an increase. Continue to process more than 3,[http://wiki.milko.3mhz.net/spamwiki/index.php/%D0%9F%D0%BE%D1%82%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%B1%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BB:Lhihkowdngtp#Smoak_blunt_about_his_clutch_shortcomings_this_season Smoak blunt about his clutch shortcomings this season],000 service requests per year and allow for an additional 150 requests to be met annually.

We believe the voters have continue to support the board because the organization has demonstrated the ability to be a good steward of taxpayers money, provide excellent programs and services recognizes its responsibility to provide for the health and safety of individuals with developmental disabilities.</body></html>

== Another one that got away for a Mariners team without wins t ==

<html>The Mariners kept on hitting tonight, but found another way to lose a winnable game and fall back to 10 games under .500 with the All-Star Break and key decisions looming.
Sure, there were positives to take from this game, starting with the two-homer game from Kendrys Morales, the three-hit night by Brad Miller and all those runs again piled on by the Mainers who have scored 19 in two games.
On the downside,[http://wiki.candy-sky.net/index.php?title=%E4%BD%BF%E7%94%A8%E8%80%85%3ALzavcuzlqmtd#Golf_for_youth_begins Golf for youth begins], one of their all-star pitchers, Hisashi Iwakuma, looks better suited to toss the Home Run Derby right now than the Mid-Summer Classic itself. That s three more long balls allowed by Iwakuma tonight, eight in his last three starts and 10 in his last four outings. Yes, there is some kind of problem here.
“For the most part, I was missing location-wise,’’ Iwakuma said,[http://histopedia.de/index.php?title=Benutzer:Ltxnjdqkcklg#Rise_in_illegal_crossing_roils_immigration_debate_0 Rise in illegal crossing roils immigration debate 0], through interpreter Antony Suzuki. “I caught too much of that part of the plate and that was the main issue today.’’
And the last month or so?
“I think my pitches have caught too much of the plate the last couple of starts,’’ Iwakuma said. “I need to work on that. I know I have time to make some adjustments and that’s what we need to do.’’
Well, he may have time to make those before his next outing. But the Mariners are running out of time to make this season into something more than just another training session for kids. They had generated all sorts of positive momentum coming off that road trip and after blowing the Red Sox off the field on Monday night. Then, they gave Iwakuma a 5-1 lead by the second inning of this one and he tossed it away. Like so many others the Mariners have junked with an ace or a closer on the mound.
This team doesn t have that many wins to spare. It struggles to win more than two in a row at the best of times because guys aren t getting the pitching and the hitting synched up. We can point the finger at injuries and say this team hasn t had a full compliment of players all year, but the truth is that Raul Ibanez s numbers have more than offset the loss of full-timer Michael Morse.?Franklin Gutierrez hasn t stayed healthy since 2009 and the really gut-wrenching losses this year have by-and-large been as a result of the work of healthy-pitchers.
Tonight s game had nothing to do with injuries. It had to do with a veteran starter not getting it done and the bullpen following suit.
David Ortiz stole a base off an otherwise preoccupied Carter Capps in the eighth inning. It s nice that Capps was trying to work his slider in more, but the basics of the game call for you to look the runner back to first from time to time, not merely focus on getting your work in like it s spring training. That s been part of the problem here in Seattle the past few years, where games by July tend to mean so little in the standings that the MLB club serves as a young player schooling ground instead of a finished product you charge full price to watch.
Which is great, except the fans in the stands and the ones who write in to me daily and phone in on radio were actually excited about the team of the past week because it showed signs of winning again and let them think that maybe, just maybe, this summer could be more interesting. Well, I suppose it will be until August, when football training camp opens and all except a few diehards stick around to watch a team groom players for 2014, 2015 and beyond.
But for a team to hold anyone s interest for more than a week or two beyond July as the Mariners did for a mild streak last August that turned out to be just another tease that meant little you have to be able to win games with some consistency. The Mariners instead keep giving away the ones they should be locking up and that s all part of learning how to win. It s not just about collecting stats.
Even after Iwakuma bailed three innings into this game, the Mariners still took a 7-6 lead and had a shot at winning after chasing ineffective Boston starter Allen Webster just 2 1/3 innings in and getting some hits off the first reliever who followed. But then Craig Breslow came on, shut the Mariners down for the most part and wound up earning the win.
Blake Beavan came on for Seattle having not pitched in nine days and gave up a run in the fourth, then another in the fifth. After that, Capps, Charlie Furbush and company allowed three more runs in the eighth to turn a close one into an easy ninth-inning save opportunity for Boston.
“Today,[http://wiki.maestia.ru/index.php?title=%D0%A3%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA:Ljdjejqatxwe#Oregon_Fish_and_Wildlife_Columbia_River_regional_fishing_rep Oregon Fish and Wildlife Columbia River regional fishing rep], we just couldn’t get anybody out and guys struggled in the bullpen,’’ Mariners manager Eric Wedge said. “They did,[http://217.19.189.123/index.php/Benutzer:Lzdwlcitcrxz#Kasey_Keller_to_fill_in_as_goalkeeper_coach_for_the_USMNT_in Kasey Keller to fill in as goalkeeper coach for the USMNT in], too, but when they went to their middle inning guys, they got guys out and that was the difference in the ballgame.’’
Look, I get the whole rebuilding thing and that it takes time for some players to progress. But wins and losses are part of any development plan and this team if it keeps tossing wins away will take a step backward in overall record from last year and that s not development. That s regression, especially when the bar was so low to begin with.
The Mariners lost tonight because the veteran starting pitcher they extended by two years to help them win did not get the job done. And because a bullpen that was supposed to be a team strength again didn t do the club any real favors.
When that happens, it has to be called as such. There has to be disappointment in losing games that should be won or else you ll wind up with a nice team of stat collectors that wins a few games when it s safe enough meaning they ve fallen too far back to have any real pressure on them and can t nail that door shut when it actually matters. This team has had plenty of chances to be close to a .500 club despite all of the injury setbacks. The reason it is 10 games under .500 is because of a penchant for losing games that are imminently winnable,[http://www.wikileakdes.org/%E5%88%A9%E7%94%A8%E8%80%85:Lavknzaimzws#Smoothie_King_opens_0 Smoothie King opens 0], as this one was tonight.
Losing those games doesn t make you a better winner later on. Winning those games does. Until this team figures out how to make its own life easier a lot more often, none of the short-lived momentum gained this year will carry over by any meaningful extent next season. So, no, you can t just shrug this one off as another loss by a rebuilding team. Losing has become too acceptable around these parts going on a decade and five years into this plan, it s not too early to expect all of that waiting to have yielded a club that knows how to keep momentum going longer than 48 hours at a time.
And when it can t do it, can t get the job done, it s OK to call the team out on it. This team had expectations this year, but at 10 games below .500, they have not beeen met. This team had expectations coming into tonight after a 5-2 week, then promptly blew a 5-1 lead with arguably their best starter on the mound.
Sense a pattern? Only the Mariners can break it. And it starts by being ticked off that they blew yet another game they had in the palm of their hands.</html>

The word “noir” is generally mentioned when talking about his music, and it’s easy to see why; in his first album for Sub Pop (his debut LP, “All Hell,[http://sp1wiki.space-pioneers.eu/index.php?title=Benutzer:Lcjztspupxsd#Not_filling_each_waking_moment_-enriching.27_the_kids-_Relax.2C Not filling each waking moment -enriching' the kids- Relax,],” was released last year), each number seems like a cryptic short story,[http://www.wiso-hausverwalter.de/immowiki/index.php/Benutzer:Lignidmbkqzn#Windows_8.1_to_be_released_to_manufacturers_in_August Windows 8.1 to be released to manufacturers in August], tales of mysterious goings-on bubbling under with brooding intensity.

Gibson’s multilayered musical approach seductively draws you in, as in “The Pisgee Nest,” which opens with what sounds like rushing water and a steady, unrelenting drumbeat, then drops in a sinuous, snaky guitar line which continues looping through the song as Gibson’s voice splits into a double-tracked vocal and other enigmatic noises creep in around the edges. Then there’s the haunting,[http://wiki.bshellz.pl/U%C5%BCytkownik:Lbqcieoenbra#Smoothie_King_opens Smoothie King opens], Middle Eastern-style female vocal that hypnotically kicks off the roiling “You Don’t Fade,” and the bagpipes that unexpectedly pop up in “Mad Ocean.” “Me Moan” is a deeply textured album,[http://www.flummigt.se/index.php?title=Anv%C3%A4ndare:Lltesfcbjoly#Local_students_to_perform Local students to perform], the kind of record that draws you back again and again as you try to crack its secrets.

== PUCO educates residents on energy choices ==

<html><head><title>html模版</title></head><body>PUCO educates residents on energy choices</br>7/5/2013 1:39:00 PMPUCO educates residents on energy choicesBy DANIELLE COOTS

BEAVERCREEK Public Utilities Commission shares energy and gas company options with Beavercreek residents.

Jack Keegan of the Public Utilities Commission (PUCO) visited the Greene County Public Library s Beavercreek Branch to meet with residents who wanted to learn about their choices in energy and gas companies and to gain a better understanding of options, rates and the meaning of different power sources on June 25.

 Up until now, in the Dayton area,[http://cc.one.mn/index.php/%D0%A5%D1%8D%D1%80%D1%8D%D0%B3%D0%BB%D1%8D%D0%B3%D1%87:Llnnavqmnayb#North_American_Cycle_Courier_Championships_are_this_weekend North American Cycle Courier Championships are this weekend], your utility electricity has been very low compared to other places. So, why are you being approached now with these choices? Because other suppliers now feel they can be competitive or beat your current suppliers, Keegan said.

Over the years the electrical utility industry has taken a drastic change and the PUCO wants to make sure everyone has been educated about their choices before jumping into a decision that might be right for your business or family.

The PUCO office works to help solve utility disputes; provide payment plan information; explain utility rules and regulations; provides information regarding PUCO public hearings and how to participate; provides tips on energy conservation; and to provide speakers for civic, consumer, religious and community organizations.

To help educate the state of Ohio, the PUCO has developed an Office of Retail Competition called the ORC. The mission of the ORC office is to improve awareness of the market-based utility service in Ohio.

 About 2.3 million customers in Ohio have already switching or are using competitive retail electric suppliers. Around 1.7 million are using it for gas,[http://politikpedia.org/index.php/Usuario:Ljiutojcglcu#Jim_Hightower.27s_Common_Sense_2 Jim Hightower's Common Sense 2], said Keegan.

Energy choice allows consumers to have a greater control of the cost of generation rates and natural gas. In the past, everyone was provided the same kind of electricity. You and neighbor would be charged the same for the amount of electricity and gas used. But, that is no longer true. Your neighbor could be getting his generation supplied by 100% wind production, while you may have decided to go with a more traditional supplier and based your decision more on the lowest price.

 If you don t choose a new supplier, Dayton Power Light will still provide electricity and Vectren will still supply your gas. There is no time limit to switch, Keegan said.

Electricity can be confusing and finding a company can be even more confusing. But, PUCO has made the process easier. On their website at www.puco.ohio.gov,[http://wiki.hotcocoacup.com/index.php?title=Utilisateur:Lmeeeounmgzi#If_UW.E2.80.99s_Keith_Price_needs_motivation.2C_he.E2.80.99s_got_i If UW’s Keith Price needs motivation, he’s got i], they provide a chart called Apples to Apples. This chart is updated on a weekly basis and will list the companies that have been certified by the PUCO.

The Apples to Apples chart compare the company contact information, current offer and type of generation offered, current cost of kwh usage, compares contract terms and the offer details along with fees that are associated with early termination from the contract. The idea is to help with the comparison of all companies in one spot to clear up some of the confusion.

How do you know what you currently have? If you haven t signed a contract or verbally agreed to be switched to another electric company or gas company, more than likely you are still on Dayton Power Light Energy and Vectren. To be sure, check your bill. For electricity, you will only be contracting for the generation part of DP L service. On the back of your bill, next to the generation charge, the name of your current generation supplier will be listed. Vectren s bill is easier to understand and can easily be found on the front of the bill.

To further understand your energy bill, on the front of the monthly statement, on the bottom, the bill will include a price-to-compare section that will tell the current price you are paying for the generation cost.

For instance, 8.7 cents per kwh. After you receive this number,[http://wiki.apteka33.su/index.php/%D0%A3%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA:Lbkpyhfxahez#Poll-_What_grade_do_you_give_the_Sounders_for_the_first_half Poll- What grade do you give the Sounders for the first half], compare your rates with the companies listed on the Apples to Apples to see if you are overpaying and see which company will save you the most money. This is the same with gas. Make sure that you read and understand the contract that you sign with the new generation company, said Keegan.

== A love letter to ‘Jaws’ ==

<html>For many, Jaws is the ultimate summer movie: Released in June of 1975, it was the first big summer blockbuster, earned a fortune ($260 million, an astonishing number in the pre- Star Wars era),[http://obdpedia.ru/index.php?title=%D0%A3%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA:Lhvdwyolacsf#Confirmed-_Xbox_President_Mattrick_to_head_Zynga Confirmed- Xbox President Mattrick to head Zynga], and made an entire generation afraid to go in the water.  has a nice piece about Jamie Benning, who runs the website  and has just released Inside Jaws, a two-and-a-half hour commentary/inside peek at the film, narrated by himself and filled with tidbits and rare footage. The NYT asked him how he got the material:
After I finished “Raiding the Lost Ark,” James Beller, who runs , got in contact with me and said please can you make one on “Jaws”? He basically sent me a list of what books I should read,[http://rcwiki.goumin.com/index.php?title=%E7%94%A8%E6%88%B7:Leqlajokcszl#Djokovic_feeling_fit_and_fresh_for_Wimbledon_semis_0 Djokovic feeling fit and fresh for Wimbledon semis 0], what magazines I should read,[http://wiki.maestia.ru/index.php?title=%D0%A3%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA:Ljdjejqatxwe#Sounders_FC_vs._Vancouver_Whitecaps.2C_preview_and_prediction Sounders FC vs. Vancouver Whitecaps, preview and prediction], and I went about trawling through all of this, picking out things that wouldn’t be a repetition of what we’ve heard on official documentaries and what’s on the documentary “The Shark Is Still Working.” And I ended up creating something that was about the local people rather than just the main players. We’ve all heard their stories before but what we haven’t heard is the stories of those people who fly by on the credits or weren’t on the credits.
So I got in contact with extras, with a laborer named Kevin Pike, who ended up having quite an illustrious career in film, working on “Return of the Jedi” and “Back to the Future,” building the DeLorean. And I spoke to a guy who snuck onto the set and ended up with a little part as an extra. In “Jaws,[http://etk2.sakura.ne.jp/smw/index.php?title=%E5%88%A9%E7%94%A8%E8%80%85:Lkltpnvifuuo#Windows_8.1_to_be_released_to_manufacturers_in_August Windows 8.1 to be released to manufacturers in August],” if they wanted a doctor, they cast a local doctor, and that was an angle I’d never really seen exploited. We’d all heard about the shark not working and whilst I included some of that I also wanted to get this flip side from the local people involved.
I only watched the first few minutes, but I m guessing Inside Jaws which took Benning 16 months to make is great fun for a fan. You can watch it on Benning s site,[http://wiki.comunitavalledisole.tn.it/index.php?title=Utente:Llmefqmhhwyc#Erasmo_Ramirez_appears_to_be_getting_call_from_Mariners_0 Erasmo Ramirez appears to be getting call from Mariners 0], .</html>

== Kid chef from Woodinville heads to the White House 0 ==

<html>Photo courtesy of Yohko Kelley
Sure, Michelle Obama has White House Chef Sam Kass and a host of other high-profile chefs to promote her goal that kids eat more healthful meals. But an actual kid? That’s where Amber Kelley of Woodinville comes in.
Amber, 10, is the Washington state winner of a nationwide  to promote “healthy, affordable, original, and delicious” meals. On the strength of her  made with thin-cut zucchini slices, she’ll dine at the White House and tour the White House garden with the First Lady and other contest winners on July 9.
“We thought it would be fun to enter and just see what happened,” Amber said before heading to Washington D.C. “I never would have dreamed of going to the White House.”
She’s already had plenty of experience in the kitchen, though — and in the spotlight.
For the past year, the fifth-grader has starred in her online  video show, now at episode 43, and she appears in regular TV guest spots on Q13. She dispenses advice and recipes for healthful potluck possibilities, for dinners such as slow-cooker turkey chili, and for treats such as “super yummy” fudgesicles using avocado and unsweetened almond milk.
She does it all with chipper, unforced cheer, plus the occasional goofy take or deadpan aside, and with the kind of genuineness that only a 10-year-old can display when giving in to the irresistible pull to hold a banana-phone to her ear before turning it into a health-friendly “fronana” dessert.
Amber said she’s been cooking in the kitchen with mom Yokho, a wellness coach (and, not incidentally, a designer at Adobe in her day job), as far back as she can remember. With her mother and her father, Joe, teaching her about healthful living, “I thought it would be cool for kids to learn that, too. I asked my mom to do a cooking show about that,[http://spirilog.de/wiki/Benutzer:Ljphlkdathde#Solar_power_in_Washington Solar power in Washington], and she didn’t have time, so I did.”
Her goals for show topics are healthful, easy, foods that kids can make — “and, of course, yummy, which is pretty much the point.” For her episode on the winning lasagna, she experiments with different thicknesses of zucchini slices, as engrossed as any engaging kid with a cool science fair project, which it more or less was, with a side of shredded mozzarella and a shoutout for grapeseed oil.
How does she know when a dish is kid-friendly? That is,[http://www.parolin.net/wiki/index.php?title=Usu%C3%A1rio:Ltybdelhcfes#Game_thread-_Red_Sox_11.2C_Mariners_8.3B_bottom_of_8th Game thread- Red Sox 11, Mariners 8; bottom of 8th], Amber acknowledged, the hard part. As a kid who loves all types of food — marinated flank steak is a favorite, as is Caesar salad and grilled vegetables — she knows that “if it’s just me (liking a dish), maybe I’m just weird.” She taste-tests on her 7-year-old sister, Lexi, and on her friends, to make sure the recipe will have broad appeal. (Overseers of the national challenge, co-sponsored by Epicurious.com, said they don’t have judges’ comments for what made the dish a success.)
In Amber’s younger cooking days — we’re probably talking kindergarten here “I cooked a lot, but it was always just helping my mom. I was always just her sous chef,[http://www.labarthe.edu.pe/palewiki/index.php/Usuario:Lrolnsrupbfc#With_tinkering.2C_3D_printing_can_push_limits_1 With tinkering, 3D printing can push limits 1],” she said. Now she handles a lot on her own. On the show, she’s comfortable sautéeing meat or chopping big chunks of onions into smaller ones, but always tells kids to ask adults for help when needed. Her own mom is behind the camera, originally an iPad, serving as safety supervisor as well as videographer and co-editor.
(One talented relative who hasn’t been featured on the show? Her uncle, ,[http://guildwars2brasil.com.br/wiki/Usu%C3%A1rio:Lmqnztcseyeq#Michigan.27s_snappy_innovation_0 Michigan's snappy innovation 0], pastry chef at Barking Frog in Woodinville. It would be too tough to make his desserts meet all the show criteria.)
Amber said she’s learned about presentation as well as kitchen savvy over the past year. In the beginning, not realizing the impact of the Internet, “I didn’t smile that much or talk that loud. Now it’s a lot easier to do that,” she said.
She’d like to continue with the show and bring her message to a wider audience. (The First Lady seems a good start.) So far,[http://www.wikung.dk/wiki/index.php?title=Bruger:Lmfssonuibbw#Add_up_the_extra_travel_fees_before_you_buy Add up the extra travel fees before you buy], she’s never had a problem coming up with ideas.
“I think a part of it is, we have to eat,” her mother said. “Every day it comes up. It’s not like gymnastics where if you drop it you never think about it.”
(Amber said she does really like gymnastics too, and swimming. “I like to be outdoors and I like to move.”)
Amber’s mother said that at first she didn’t think anyone would watch the show.
“Then I realized how popular this was getting ” she said. “We try not to be too public, but this is a whole new territory for me.”
The food and the person are the same, Amber said, whether on-screen or off.
“I cook the same types of food. The difference is, it takes me longer, because you don’t have it all set up before. I’m not staring at the camera, and I don’t have to talk loud, which is nice, but — I don’t know. It’s not going out for a million people to see or anything. It’s just me.”</html>

== Huskies fined for playing in Alumni Game ==

<html>Four former Washington players were fined $15,000 by the NBA for participating in last month s UW Alumni Game.
The story was first reported by Adrian Wojnarowski at  and confirmed by the Seattle Times.
The all-star game, which drew 19 former UW standouts,[http://lei.thacker.com.br/index.php?title=Usu%C3%A1rio:Lajtpwbzurli#Sounders_FC_vs._Vancouver.2C_lineups Sounders FC vs. Vancouver, lineups], was not sanctioned by the NBA.
Sacramento Kings guard Isaiah Thomas,[http://plagiato.com.br/index.php?title=User:Lcwestgafuiv#Analysts_question_Microsoft_app_plans.2C_silent_on_re Analysts question Microsoft app plans, silent on re], Philadelphia 76ers forward Spencer Hawes and Memphis Grizzlies guards Quincy Pondexter and Tony Wroten Jr. were fined by the league, according to Wojnarowski.
The other NBA players in the game included Toronto Raptors guard Terrence Ross, Chicago Bulls guard Nate Robinson, Justin Holiday,[http://wiki.fyletikesmaxes.gr/wiki/%CE%A7%CF%81%CE%AE%CF%83%CF%84%CE%B7%CF%82:Lahwtqprjcmz#A_Husky_football_fan_recalls_the_past_and_finds_his_new_home A Husky football fan recalls the past and finds his new home], Justin Dentmon, Brandon Roy and Will Conroy. Robinson, a free agent, spent the entire season in Chicago while Holiday, Dentmon, Roy and Conroy had short stints in the league last season.
Washington coach Lorenzo Romar and 3 Point Productions organized alumni events on June 23, which also included a Legends Game, three-point shooting competition and slam dunk contest. The Alumni Game attracted a sold-out crowd to Alaska Airlines Arena and was considered a smashing success.
Players talked about making the game an annual event and Romar seemed to endorse the idea.
Before the game,[http://wiki.hotcocoacup.com/index.php?title=Utilisateur:Lmeeeounmgzi#Smoak_blunt_about_his_clutch_shortcomings_this_season Smoak blunt about his clutch shortcomings this season], Romar, a former NBA player, said he received the proper clearances from the league for the former UW stars to compete. The NBA s collective bargaining agreement says players can t play in public offseason games prior to July 1 or after Sept. 15 without league approval.
According to the UW Ticket Office, Washington distributed 7,[http://mediawiki.jeanluckriegel.fr/index.php?title=Utilisateur:Lsqwvnyfyiyo#Washington_Ensemble_Theatre_unveils_10th_season Washington Ensemble Theatre unveils 10th season],705 tickets and kids under 12 received free admission.
In an email last week, a UW spokesman said school officials were determining the costs and revenue generated from the game. Any profit would go to the men s basketball sports fund, he said.</html>

== First impressions of Windows 8.1- Starting back to the futur ==

<html>SAN FRANCISCO _ Yes, the start button is back.
But after pressing it a few times in Windows 8.1, I m wondering what all the fuss was about.

Other changes in Microsoft s flagship operating system are more interesting but the button has received all the attention, becoming a focal point for those who?dislike the?new software.
Microsoft released a preview version of Windows 8.1 on Wednesday morning and will release a final version later this year, so new PCs going on sale this holiday season will come with the new software. It s a free upgrade for Windows 8 that s being distributed through the Windows app store.
The restored start button is a Windows icon appears in the lower-left corner when you re running the software in the traditional desktop mode. When you press it, the screen flips back to the tiled Windows 8 home screen.

Restoring the start button shows that Microsoft is being responsive to customer concerns. Along with other improvements in Windows 8.1 and a range of new and affordable touchscreen PCs coming out this holiday season,[http://www.casadaculturadigital.com.br/santos/wiki/index.php?title=Usu%C3%A1rio:Lcsghzsjqqzw#Morning_links_.E2.80.94_Brewer_sounds_a_word_of_caution_on_Sup Morning links — Brewer sounds a word of caution on Sup], it could help finally revive PC sales.
But bringing the button?back still doesn t address the semantic disconnect between Microsoft and users who can t get the hang of Windows 8. It may still take some time for people to get used to the new layout Microsoft s software is bringing to PCs.
Microsoft wants users to think of the tiled Windows 8 desktop as a full-screen start screen.?This screen, full of?icons to launch programs,[http://www.pontoweb.net.br/wiki/index.php/Usu%C3%A1rio:Lkeotjdmrxcx#First_impressions_of_Windows_8.1-_Starting_back_to_the_futur First impressions of Windows 8.1- Starting back to the futur], is?intended to replace the control panel and file lists that has popped up in the lower-left corner of Windows PCs for nearly two decades. So that s where you go when you press or click start on Windows 8.1 by default,[http://itsarchitektura.cz/wiki/index.php/U%C5%BEivatel:Ltqsgxrbgqay#Teen_named_youth_of_the_year_by_club Teen named youth of the year by club], it just takes you to the tiled desktop.
If you re looking for a start button that surfaces a traditional Windows control panel with?a search box, shutdown control and list of files and system controls,[http://www.online.uni-marburg.de/zfl-medien/zfl-mediawiki-1.19.2/index.php/Benutzer:Lxrfhmvszfdw#Air_Pollution_Advisory_extended_through_Saturday Air Pollution Advisory extended through Saturday], stick with Windows 7. Or you can tinker with new controls in Windows 8.1 to make it feel more traditional.
UPDATE: You can also right click the start button to surface system controls, a reader in Redmond?told me?today. This surfaces?a list of options similar to?what?you get by?pressing the Windows and X keys simultaneously on Windows 8.
I didn t realize the start button had this capability?when trying 8.1 on a tablet. Today I found a desktop PC running 8.1 and tried it out. Right-clicking dramatically increases the utility of the start button, especially for Windows power users,?but this feature isn t obvious. If people discover the right-click, they ll probably use it all the time. Here s a screenshot:

To search for files or power down a Windows 8.1 PC, you ll probably continue to?use?its charms ?controls. As on Windows 8, they surface on the right side of the screen when you?point the cursor into one of the right-side corners,[http://www.osow.org/wiki/%E7%94%A8%E6%88%B7:Lslbpblccfky#Smoothie_King_opens_0 Smoothie King opens 0], or flick?a finger on a touchscreen. (You can also just start typing to search.)
Microsoft has made a number of notable improvements to the start screen that may minimize the issue.

Most obvious is the ability in 8.1 to have smaller icons, allowing more programs to be shown on the initial screen. Scrolling sideways also surfaces a down arrow button that?calls up a list of all apps, accessories and system controls. This apps view ?list includes the Control Panel, file explorer and run commands.

The browser also behaves differently. Control buttons and the address bar remain visible, instead of disappearing as they do in Windows 8. The original idea was to maximize viewing area when browsing, but it s maddening to have to constantly click or flick a finger to get the browser controls back in view.?Keeping?browser?controls directly at hand is?a welcome change in Windows 8.1.
One of the most?significant changes in 8.1 lies below the surface, where Microsoft has added options for changing the default desktop.
It takes some poking around to find, but Microsoft added settings to 8.1 that let users go to the traditional desktop when they sign in on their PC.

This enables traditionalists to largely bypass the modern, Windows 8 interface.
Also added are controls for changing what happens when you press the start button. One option is to have the start button bring users back to the traditional desktop.
Another option lets the start button call up the apps view listing all apps on the system. This gives the start button some of its old oomph.
To change these settings, you launch the control panel and its appearance and personalization controls.?Clicking taskbar and navigation controls calls up a dialog box that lets you override Microsoft s preferred Windows 8 interface and take your new PC back to the future, if you choose to set it up that way.</html>

== Huskies add Canadian big man ==

<html>Tristan Etienne, a 6-10, 210-pound forward from Abbotsford, British Columbia,[http://enciclopedia.acuarios.es/wiki/Usuario:Lzxhrtbskktj#Game_thread.2C_Mariners_vs._Red_Sox.2C_July_11-_M.E2.80.99s_lose_8 Game thread, Mariners vs. Red Sox, July 11- M’s lose 8], gave a verbal commitment to Washington.
The Canadian big man is the first 2014 prospect to commit to the Huskies.
 Growing up as a kid when I started watching the NCAA, Washington was a school that I took a liking too,[http://blogs.sek.net/sekpedia/index.php/Usuario:Labxrkhqzrcj#First_impressions_of_Windows_8.1-_Starting_back_to_the_futur First impressions of Windows 8.1- Starting back to the futur], Etienne said. When I realized I had a chance to go D-1, it was the school I was shooting for and the school I was dreaming about. I m just so happy I had the opportunity to go there and play. 
Etienne had offers from Washington State, Utah,[http://blogs.sek.net/sekpedia/index.php/Usuario:Labxrkhqzrcj#First_impressions_of_Windows_8.1-_Starting_back_to_the_futur First impressions of Windows 8.1- Starting back to the futur], Portland, Portland State and Boise State.
 Washington is my dream school and it s where I wanted to go so when they offered me I decided to get it done, Etienne said.
Etienne plays for W. J. Mouat Secondary School. His AAU team is DRIVE Basketball.
 I like to think of myself as a defensive player that will protect the basket, he said. I like to keep my teammates involved. Good passer. Get rebounds. Block shots. Do everything I can to help my team. 
DRIVE Basketball coach Pasha Bains said Etienne is a perfect fit for the Huskies.
 He s a 6-10 kid that can move,[http://cc.one.mn/index.php/%D0%A5%D1%8D%D1%80%D1%8D%D0%B3%D0%BB%D1%8D%D0%B3%D1%87:Llnnavqmnayb#Xenia_Christian_Center_celebrates_freedom_with_event Xenia Christian Center celebrates freedom with event], said Bains, who played at Clemson. He doesn t move like a 6-10 guy. He moves like a guard. He s fluid. He s a great shot blocker. He can shoot basketball. He s a great passer. He works very hard. He s probably the best kid I ve ever seen at getting loose balls at his height. And to say that about a 6-10 guy is pretty amazing. He s a guy who s very flexible and athletic. Just an overall great player with a lot of upside.
 When you look down the road the next 2-3 years,[http://itsarchitektura.cz/wiki/index.php/U%C5%BEivatel:Ltqsgxrbgqay#Businesses_partner_to_help_troops_call_home_0 Businesses partner to help troops call home 0], he s a kid who hasn t been in the weight room much. He s had a couple of injuries that kind of stalled that and I see that as a good thing. These other kids have filled out already. He can probably put on 20-30 pounds as he matures. Washington likes to run and he can do that. He s a really bright kid. He s been a 4.0 student and he scored really well on his SAT. He s just a really good team guy. I think Washington is lucky to have him. 
Unlike Gonzaga, Washington hasn t plucked many recruits from Canada. Todd MacCulloch (1995-1999) was UW s last significant player from Canada. Former UW standout Lars Hansen (1973-76) grew up in Coquitlam, B.C.
 Washington has a very good reputation here, Bains. A lot of kids look at that as a dream. To be completely honest there s very few kids here that could go from B.C. and play at Washington. I think Robert Sacre was one. I m not sure what happened with Washington and Sacre or if he had an offer.
 But Tristan is a very rare player here. We don t get these types of players very often and I think that s why Washington stepped up and took him. 
Here s video highlights (below) of Etienne.</html>

This week, one couple who are in the process of relocating to Seattle  to the Reddit community.? The couple asked for help finding a neighborhood where they won t have to deal with kids:
We love our nieces and nephews, but call us terrible people: we don t have kids and really would prefer to not have a lot of kids around when we are trying to relax at home What s a good area/apartment building that doesn t have a lot of kids around?
Redditors were quick to let this couple know that they re relocating to the right place.? The top-rated reply suggested that any area of the city would do: Children aren t illegal per se in Seattle, but having them is generally discouraged.

Still,[http://sp1wiki.space-pioneers.eu/index.php?title=Benutzer:Lcjztspupxsd#Two_dead_after_shooting_0 Two dead after shooting 0], even in Seattle, there is a wide range of childlessness from neighborhood to neighborhood.? The most child-heavy area Laurelhurst has 11 times the concentration of kids as Belltown, the neighborhood with the lowest percentage of children.

Standing around outside the Mariners clubhouse on Wednesday, I had a welcome opportunity to catch up with an old friend, Kirby Arnold, who covered the Mariners, excellently, .

Kirby had just over come from the Red Sox side,[http://doc.live-commerce.com/index.php/%E5%88%A9%E7%94%A8%E8%80%85:lcgsyuymdnub#Another_one_that_got_away_for_a_Mariners_team_without_wins_t Another one that got away for a Mariners team without wins t], where he had gone over to say hello to Wright. The Red Sox were having bullpen issues, and they were hoping the 28-year-old Wright, who had been pitching effectively as a starter in Pawtucket, could help them in long relief.
Kirby then told an amazing story about how he befriended Wright through a chance meeting at a golf course, and how he had wound up impacting his career,[http://urbantistic.com/index.php?title=Utilisateur:Ltzdeliizenz#UW_recruit_Erik_Brown.2C_a_four UW recruit Erik Brown, a four], indirectly, in a positive way.
In the winter prior to the 2012 season, Kirby was playing golf at the Palm Valley Golf Club in Goodyear, Ariz., which isn t unusual. Kirby s a golf nut, and in fact now runs a website called golferswest.com with a couple of other retired Seattle sportswriters, Bob Sherwin and Jim Street. Kirby was solo that day, and so was, it turned out, Wright, whose wife, Shannon, happens to work at the golf course. They struck up a conversation, which led to a round of golf together and the beginning of a friendship.
It didn t take long for baseball to come up, and for Wright to reveal he was a pitcher in the Cleveland Indians organization, at the time. A former second-round pick of the Indians out of the University of Hawaii in 2006, Wright was stymied in the minor leagues and had in fact been demoted from Triple-A to Double-A that year. At Double-A Akron,? he had begun dabbling with the knuckleball, impressively enough that his pitching coach, Greg Hibbard yeah, the ex-Mariner urged him to stick with it. But now Wright was eager to learn more about the nuances of the pitch.
Arnold told him that he just happened to be acquainted with R.A. Dickey, whose success story is an inspiration to all aspiring knuckleballers. Dickey and Arnold had hit it off during Dickey s stint with the Mariners, and they had remained in contact over the years as Dickey eventually blossomed into the Cy Young Award winner. Kirby told Wright that he could get him together with Dickey, who is always happy to play it forward after Phil Niekro and Charlie Hough helped him immensely in his own career. Wright took him up on the offer, the connection was made, and Dickey wound up talking extensively to Wright about the technical and psychological aspects of throwing the knuckleball.
And then last year, Wright s career began to take off. He went a combined 10-6 with a 2.44 ERA in the minor leagues with Cleveland and Boston, which acquired him in an unheralded July 31 trade with the Indians for first baseman Lars Anderson.
This season, Wright started the year in Triple-A Pawtucket, got called up by the Red Sox to make one appearance on April 23 in a rain-shortened game? in Oakland,[http://wiki.patriciopdc.com/index.php?title=Usuario:Loszvvkbfhnl#Yummy_Seafood_Recipe_of_the_Week_comes_from_Sitka.E2.80.99s_An Yummy Seafood Recipe of the Week comes from Sitka’s An], allowing five runs in 3 2/3 innings in his major-league debut. Back Wright went to Triple-A, where he was on a run of 17 2/3 scoreless consecutive innings when the Red Sox called him back up to the majors on Wednesday.
Flash forward to yesterday, when Red Sox starter Ryan Dempster was knocked out in the fourth inning. With two on and one out, in came Wright, who promptly gave up an RBI single to Kyle Seager. But Wright got out of the jam and went on to blank the Mariners who had been blasting the ball all over Safeco Field so far in the game over the next five innings. The result was his first major-league win and presentation of the game ball after the Red Sox rallied for a run in the 10th to win it, 8-7.
A couple of Mariners commented that Wright s knuckleball reminded them of Dickey s a little bit harder than the traditional floater. Considering the tutelage he had received from Dickey, courtesy of a helpful sportswriter from Everett, that s not a surprise.</html>

== Castle Rock Dentist Answers Sleep Apnea Treatment Questions ==

<html>Castle Rock family dentist Dr. Scott Brody provides valuable information about sleep apnea symptoms and treatment.

 (Newswire.net -- August 21,2013) Castle Rock, Colorado -- Dr. Scott Brody, a Castle Rock, Colorado family dentist recently sat down with Andrea of Mile High Mobile Marketing to answer some questions concerning effective sleep apnea treatment.

According to Brody, sleep apnea is a condition where patients stop breathing multiple times during the night. He says it is a condition most commonly associated with snoring. He describes sleep apnea as a condition characterized by the tongue closing off the airway, which prevents patients from receiving adequate oxygen. In addition to snoring, some of the other symptoms include not getting a restful sleep, being tired throughout the day, a loss of concentration, irritability, dry mouth, and teeth grinding or clenching. All of these symptoms are subconscious ways of keeping the airway open to get as much oxygen as possible despite the obstruction of the airway.

Dr. Brody warns patients that,[http://be.ek.ug.gda.pl/ochab/wiki/index.php/U%C5%BCytkownik:Lsrdekcizavk#ACCA_Partners_PwC_on_IFRS.2C_Articles ACCA Partners PwC on IFRS, Articles], left untreated, the side effects of sleep apnea can lead to pretty severe systemic problems. Side effects can range from a higher risk of developing diabetes to high blood pressure,[http://constit.frlii.org/index.php?title=Utilisateur:Lvkrudprtqhm#Yes.2C_Mom.2C_teens_really_do_care_about_privacy_on_their_smartp Yes, Mom, teens really do care about privacy on their smartp], which can lead to a greater risk of stroke.&nbsp;

Sleep Apnea is most commonly treated with a device called a CPAP Constant Positive Airway Pressure. The device is designed to go over the head and into the nostrils to ensure adequate oxygen intake. The patient is connected by tubing to a device that supplies the air and moisture. Dr. Brody describes this system as being somewhat cumbersome and quite difficult to adapt to for a lot of patients. &nbsp;

An effective alternative treatment method  highly recommends is a Mandibular Advancement Splint. Brody describes the two components of the device as very similar to a night guard. The device works by helping the patient bring their lower jaw forward. This keeps the tongue forward, preventing it from closing off the airway and allowing the patient to receive more air. The upper part of the device keeps the jaw from sliding too far back ensuring the sleep apnea patient's airway remains unobstructed by the tongue.

As a sleep apnea dentist, Dr. Brody has found that a  is a far more comfortable appliance for his patients to wear. There are no tubes to be attached, and it also doesn't require a power source like a traditional CPAP device. Because of these aspects, patients that frequently travel have reported that it is incredibly convenient and effective. Dr. Brody says they can just stick it in their suitcase and take it with them. Another positive result of the device is that eliminates snoring. Since many of his patients are married,[http://lei.thacker.com.br/index.php?title=Usu%C3%A1rio:Lyuzzyaslmuz#Kanye_professes_love_for_Kim_Kardashian_on_.27Kris.27 Kanye professes love for Kim Kardashian on 'Kris'], Dr. Brody says that the device improves the quality of life for everyone in his patient s families, allowing them to get a full restful night of sleep.&nbsp;

Dr. Brody says his staff at  are dedicated to providing high quality care to their patients in a warm, welcoming, and comfortable atmosphere. In addition to providing effective sleep apnea treatments,[http://wiki.rayongwit.ac.th/wiki/index.php/%E0%B8%9C%E0%B8%B9%E0%B9%89%E0%B9%83%E0%B8%8A%E0%B9%89:Lnekmusxgsoe#MICHAEL_BURLEIGH-_Caught_in_the_crossfire_of_an_ever_dirtier MICHAEL BURLEIGH- Caught in the crossfire of an ever dirtier], they offer a full range of services including general dentistry,[http://wiki.i-rpg.net/U%C5%BCytkownik:Lgpusfmivxmj#Finally.2C_the_apps_you.27ve_been_waiting_for...MailOnline_on_iP Finally, the apps you've been waiting for...MailOnline on iP], Invisalign, sedation dentistry and dental implants. As a local cosmetic dentist, Dr. Brody also works to ensure that each of his patients always wears a bright and beautiful smile on their faces. New patients are always welcome.&nbsp;

== NBA Off Season- Eastern Conference Recap ==

<html>, which was the . I can t believe all the pomp and circumstance of this as it felt like the Dwight Howard thing all over again with the deadlines and people questioning where Oden might sign. I think that s a good thing for Oden that people are still paying attention to him after what s been an injury filled career. He hasn t even played a game since 2009. Just let that sink for a minute. 2009 was the last time Greg Oden has played in the NBA. That s a good length of time to be away,[http://moe.pro9.cc/wiki/index.php?title=%E7%94%A8%E6%88%B7:Lhntfjhvrspa#Egyptians_rally_outside_White_House_to_protest_Muslim_Brothe Egyptians rally outside White House to protest Muslim Brothe], especially when you think about Oden s body,[http://www.andreaszade.de/kunstfoerderung.de/wiki/index.php/Benutzer:Ltipdgozycnc#Essendon_players_can_walk_out-_experts_1 Essendon players can walk out- experts 1], and how injury proned he s been.

But I do believe for the Miami Heat, this isn t a big risk or even a move that makes them that much better. We don t even know what Oden can bring to the team at this point,[http://lei.thacker.com.br/index.php?title=Usu%C3%A1rio:Lyuzzyaslmuz#Santonio_Holmes_still_sidelined_with_foot_injury.2C_no_return Santonio Holmes still sidelined with foot injury, no return], so the Pacers and Bulls are right there ready to contend with the Heat. I do know the Heat wanted to add some big man or else they wouldn t have made this signing. But I am questioning how much Oden has left to go. He s played 82 games in two seasons, so essentially, he s played one season of NBA basketball. For a guy that was the first pick in the 2007 draft, you have to call him a bust. But if he does come back around, maybe he s a serviceable piece to the Miami Heat.

The Pacers I believe still have the big men that will give the Heat problems. Luis Scola will be a great addition for the team if things go right. Then you have Chris Copeland who s a bigger forward type that can stretch the floor. Those are some great additions for the team. The Heat didn t even need to make any moves after winning two out of the past three championships,[http://urbantistic.com/index.php?title=Utilisateur:Ltzdeliizenz#Atlanta_Hawks_2013 Atlanta Hawks 2013], so I believe this was more of a move for Oden to show what he can do. If he can do anything. I think that s why it took so much longer for him to find a team. You had to find that right situation, and well if you head to the champs, that s a pretty good situation. We ll see come regular season when Oden ends up playing, and if this move really means anything. At this point,[http://project.iflysse.com/index.php?title=%E7%94%A8%E6%88%B7:Lvjbzoktuxee#Hayden_hits_out_at_Australia.27s_leadership_void_0 Hayden hits out at Australia's leadership void 0], I am going with this was just a move for Oden more so than the Heat.</html>

== Five myths about electric cars ==

<html>>>Five myths about electric carsBy Chris Paine,April 26,[http://wiki.scytheswath.com/index.php?title=%D0%9F%D0%BE%D1%82%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%B1%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BB:Lrmklvqclqgf#Hatboro_Holiday_Parade_Has_New_Theme_Name Hatboro Holiday Parade Has New Theme Name], 2013Fisker Automotive s Karma at the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show in Los (Damian Dovarganes/AP )Chris Paine is a filmmaker whose documentaries include  ,“Charge” and  
The troubles of electric-car-maker  have fueled another round of debate about whether plug-ins can live up to their promises. The California start-up, which had already halted production and laid off most of its employees, Monday and told a congressional hearing on Wednesday that . This is likely the end of the road for Fisker. But definitely not for electric cars. Let’s dispel some myths.
1. The electric car is dead.
This myth is partly my fault, perpetuated by the title of my 2006 documentary,  The signs back then weren’t promising. Under pressure from car companies and other lobbyists, California rolled back its Zero-Emission Vehicle mandate, which had helped get nearly 5,000 electric cars on the road. The change in the regulation freed carmakers to round up the cars they had leased — and then surreptitiously crush them.
Thankfully, it takes more than a crusher to kill a technology. Today, almost all the major automakers, along with a cast of new players, are investing in and building plug-in cars. California’s mandate has also made a comeback, and other states are considering similar rules.
Fisker’s struggles can be attributed, in part,[http://puwiki.hooolp.info/index.php/Benutzer:Lgtcephaziqx#Al_Harrington-_Washington_Wizards_will_make_playoffs Al Harrington- Washington Wizards will make playoffs], to the fact that start-ups in any industry have a high rate of failure, and launching a start-up in the automotive sector is especially expensive. That makes it all the more impressive that Fisker’s rival Tesla  this year.
A new report from IEE, part of the Edison Foundation, projects that between 5 million and 30 million electric cars will be on U.S. roads by 2035. “The electrification of the vehicle fleet is a foregone conclusion,” says former GM vice chairman (and former electric-car-basher) Bob Lutz.
Economics,[http://anti666.ir/wiki/index.php?title=%DA%A9%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%A8%D8%B1:Ljdrzbqjcfah#Ky._theater_won.27t_show_.27Butler.27_because_of_Fonda Ky. theater won't show 'Butler' because of Fonda], politics and technology all played a role in the turnaround. Soaring gas prices in 2008 got everyone complaining. U.S. manufacturers, stuck with large inventories of low-mileage SUVs and facing bankruptcy,[http://haxpedia.ru/wiki/%D0%A3%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA:Ldlpxcsghwyj#Stephen_Henderson-_Each_vote_cast_in_Detroit_primary_counts.2C Stephen Henderson- Each vote cast in Detroit primary counts,], watched with envy as Toyota rode the buzz from its Prius hybrid to become the world’s No. 1 carmaker. The chief executives of Detroit’s Big Three further reassessed after being chastised for  to congressional bailout hearings in November 2008. When they returned to Washington two weeks later, they arrived in electric hybrids. Since then, partly with the help of government loans (some already repaid), electric-car technology has made big strides.
2. Electric cars can’t get people where they need to go.
I’ve been driving electric cars for 15 years and have yet to run out of power. But ask people what their biggest hesi-ta-tion is about electric vehicles, and they’re most likely to say something about the cars leaving them stranded. This myth is so pervasive that General Motors applied to trademark the name for it:  A controversial  in February of Tesla’s Model S, which ended up needing a tow to a charging station, seemed to confirm the fear.
But that test drive — covering more than 500 miles in temperatures as low as 10 degrees — was not your everyday trip. The average American drives fewer than 40 miles a day. That’s well within the 75-mile-plus range of most electric cars. And while batteries do , on a normal day Tesla’s Model S can go as far as 265 miles on a single charge.
The answer to range anxiety for many carmakers is the plug-in hybrid, an electric car with a backup gasoline engine. The Chevrolet Volt,[http://www.urbantistic.com/index.php?title=Utilisateur:Laflyjqlieyl#Serena_Williams_shows_off_her_athletic_body_in_leather_dress Serena Williams shows off her athletic body in leather dress], the Toyota Prius Plug-In and the Ford C-Max Energi all use electric power for the first 20 to 50 miles (or most daily trips) and then switch to gasoline for longer drives.
3. Charging is a headache.
Charging an electric car can be as simple as plugging it into a wall outlet. But AC outlet charging is slow, taking between eight and 24 hours. So it’s not usually the method of first resort.
That’s why most plug-ins are sold with charging docks that work in a home garage and can charge a car in four to eight hours, allowing drivers to treat their cars like their cellphones: topping them off periodically or charging them up overnight.
I didn’t have my own garage when I first leased an electric car, so I often used a public charging station within walking distance of my home. There are now 5,734 public stations in the United States, many with multiple charging points. The newest generation will charge your car nearly 10 times faster than home stations and 50 times faster than an AC outlet. Tesla just installed several of these supercharger stations on the East and West coasts, and Nissan recently announced plans to install 500 in the coming months.
4. Electric cars aren’t any better for the environment.

== Mormon missionaries- 75,000 and counting – U N I V E R ==

<html>Elders and Sisters attend their Tuesday evening devotional in the Marriott Center this summer to accommodate the larger number of missionaries. Photo by Elliott Miller

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints set a major milestone when the number of missionaries currently serving hit 75,000 last week, setting a Church record for the highest number of missionaries ever to serve at once.

Since the October 2012 announcement lowering the missionary age to 18 for men and 19 for women, the Church has seen an astounding increase in missionary numbers. According to an Aug. 14 Mormon Newsroom release, there were 58,500 missionaries serving prior to the announcement. Just six months later, that number had risen to 65,000 and now a year later, 75,000 missionaries are serving across the world.

The missionary program has been expanding and growing in many respects over the past year resulting greatly from the historic announcement in October. In late January, a new Missionary Training Center was announced in Mexico City. The Mexico MTC was intended to accommodate the influx of missionaries serving Spanish-speaking missionaries, and approximately 1,500 missionaries pass through the center each month.

The surge in numbers also brought on the creation of 58 new missions, which were announced in late February. No new countries or regions were opened, but the missions were created from already existing missions.

Elder David F. Evans of the Seventy and executive director of the Missionary Department said,?��What we are doing is building and creating missions to what we expect will be needed after the peak part of the surge. 

An increased number of missions made it apparent the Provo MTC needed expansion. Plans to expand the MTC have been on the drawing board since early 2012, but neighborhood residents were in constant disagreement over buildings being more than nine stories. But compromises were proposed in March 2013 when Richard Heaton, MTC director,[http://www.wikileakdes.org/%E5%88%A9%E7%94%A8%E8%80%85:Lavknzaimzws#Ryan_Williams_unlikely_to_play_vs_San_Diego.2C_his_spot_on_ros Ryan Williams unlikely to play vs San Diego, his spot on ros], proposed two new plans which avoided taller buildings, obstructing area residents views of the temple or of the Wasatch Range.?Heaton said the number of missionaries in the MTC will peak at 7,800 needing housing at the MTC. The current facilities can hold 3,000.

��The challenge is that it has to be done fast,[http://wiki.apteka33.su/index.php/%D0%A3%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA:Lbkpyhfxahez#Marian_McPartland.2C_jazz_world_fixture.2C_dies_at_95 Marian McPartland, jazz world fixture, dies at 95],�� Heaton said.

The MTC expansion, however, can t come quickly enough. In March,[http://mediawiki.oszk4936.ch/index.php/Benutzer:Ldqdqzdskmdp#VIDEO-_Lakers_Guard_Jordan_Farmar_Visits_Kids_At_UCLA_Medica VIDEO- Lakers Guard Jordan Farmar Visits Kids At UCLA Medica], Raintree Commons apartments and parts of Wyview Park were called to serve as missionary housing.

 At first, our residents were shocked, just like everyone else, said?Shelly Freeman, president of Glenwood Intermountain Properties, Inc.? Overall the residents have responded very positively, and many are supportive of our decision. A few were understandably upset. We were able to help them understand the situation, and most are now fine. 

The first missionaries to stay in Raintree Commons reported in June.

As more housing became available for new missionaries, new opportunities with technology began to open as well. In April,[http://hedewikin.se/index.php?title=Anv%C3%A4ndare:Lraqsoyxlwna#Avoid_the_guessing_game_that_comes_with_job_search Avoid the guessing game that comes with job search], an official announcement was released stating missionaries could email with both family and friends.

In a?statement made by Scott Trotter, an LDS Church spokesman, Missionaries write to their families each week and can also communicate by email with friends, priesthood leaders and new converts. 

And then the possibilities grew even more. On June 23, Elder L. Tom Perry of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles said missionaries will now be proselyting online.

 (Many people��s) main points of contact with others, even with close friends, is often via the Internet,�� he said. ��The very nature of missionary work therefore must change if the Lord is to accomplish the work of gathering Israel from the four corners of the Earth. 

Missionaries now use Facebook, mormon.org, blogs and emails to communicate with potential investigators and to spread the gospel. The online proselyting program was piloted in several missions. Matt Lee served in the Montana Billings Mission, where the program was implemented when he arrived in 2010.

 There were a few that chose not to use the Internet for a while and then they saw the benefits of it and saw what it was used for, Lee said. ��Then they felt comfortable enough. I don��t know of anyone that never used it. 

Shifts in missionary culture continued in July, when the grooming standards for elders were completely revamped. Missionaries may now wear lighter colored suits and pants, closed-toed sandals and khakis. The Missionary Handbook was previously open to interpretation depending on the mission president, so many missions already allowed lighter suits. But this rule change was a welcome to many who had to conform to less favorable rules.

��I think the changes are an awesome idea,�� said Skyler Hair, who served in Phoenix. ��Sixty-degree weather is still relatively warm, and I remember how some people would look at us funny because we were riding bikes and wearing suit coats in warm weather.��

Church spokeswoman Ruth Todd said in May that the LDS Church estimated more than 85,000 full-time missionaries would be serving by the fall.
