Santa found himself a little more tied up than usual this time of year.
A Northern California man impersonating Santa Claus and flying on a powered parachute was rescued Sunday after he became entangled in power lines, authorities said.
The incident happened shortly after the man took off near a school in Rio Linda to deliver candy canes to children in his community. He flew into a maze of power lines and wound up suspended in them, a Federal Aviation Administration spokesman told KCRA-TV.
The man, who wasn't identified, was not injured.
Video from the rescue shows the red-white-and-blue aircraft dangling overhead as Santa sat fastened to the pilot seat.
Neighbours watched from the ground as crews worked.
Colleen Bousliman, who lives nearby, said the pilot flies overhead often.
"He flies just around so people can see and flies around people's houses," she said. "This was the first time he was in his Santa suit."
Power was shut off during the rescue to about 200 customers in the Rio Linda area, according to Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District spokesman Chris Vestal.
"It's unfortunate, but we all need to remember that there's still a lot of good out in the world, there are people doing good things and to look at the brightness of the holiday season," Vestal said.
He said it didn't take long to rescue the costumed pilot and lower him to safety.
"W/o a scratch & full of good cheer we made sure Old St. Nick will use his reindeer when he sees you later this year," the fire department said in a tweet after the incident.

Every other analyst I've read has listed Brady as one of their must-sits. Don't believe it. The Jets defense is great, but Rob Gronkowski should suit up this Sunday — expect Brady to connect with him early and often.
Lamar Miller:
No one really feels good about starting Miller on their fantasy team. He struggles at running between the tackles, and doesn't get many goal-line carries, but if there is one week to start him, it's this week. Buffalo's defense has been porous all year — expect Miller to have potentially the best game of his young career.
Joseph Randle:
An obvious pick for a Week 7, Randle will get the start for the Cowboys this week. He is not nearly as talented as DeMarco Murray, and he may not be a weekly start, but he will have a strong performance this week against the Eagles. This will be a high scoring game, and Philadelphia has a weak rushing defense. Randle got a lucky draw for his first NFL start.
Sit:
Andre Johnson:
I know it's hard to bench Johnson. He was once the top dog of NFL receivers, but the tides are shifting — he is no longer a must-start. Given that Case Keenum will have his first start this weekend and that the Texans are playing the Chiefs, who have arguably the best defense in the league, Johnson is a strong sit this week.
Le'Veon Bell:
Pittsburgh's offense is far from dynamic, and the same goes for Bell's rushing abilities. Bell is averaging a meager 2.8 yards per carry this year, and the Ravens' have allowed only one rushing touchdown all year. Bell has a low floor and a low ceiling — a bad combination.
Stevan Ridley:
Last week, Ridley had the best game of his season with 110 yards and two touchdowns. Does this make him a must-start this week? Absolutely not. The Jets defense is remarkably strong against the run, and don't read too much into Ridley's Week 6 performance. In the end, the Patriots have a running back-by-committee situation, and that won't change any time soon.

Oklahoma State running back Joseph Randle does not receive the recognition that many of the quarterbacks in the pass-driven Big 12 do, but that does not mean the junior is not deserving of high praise. Randle leads the conference in rushing with 934 yards, nearly 200 yards more than anyone else in the Big 12. He has averaged 5.3 yards per carry and has scored nine touchdowns in eight games on the ground. While a trio of quarterbacks have put up strong passing numbers for the Cowboys this season, Randle is the centerpiece of the offense and is a major reason why Oklahoma State is eighth in the nation in points per game.
Klein likely to play Saturday
Kansas State head coach Bill Snyder seems to believe that quarterback Collin Klein has a strong chance of playing Saturday against TCU, saying Monday that he "seems fine to me" after leaving with a possible concussion in the third quarter of last Saturday's win over Oklahoma State. The quarterback has emerged as the frontrunner to win the Heisman Trophy with his 1,875 yards and 12 touchdowns passing and 698 yards and 17 touchdowns rushing through nine games. The senior has been the biggest reason that the Wildcats are 9-0 and ranked second in the BCS standings. Kansas State has three games remaining on its schedule, and convincing wins in each contest would likely give the Wildcats the opportunity to compete in the national championship game.
West Virginia out of Top 25
Following its third consecutive loss, West Virginia is unranked for the first time this season. The Mountaineers, who began the year ranked 11th and climbed up to as high as fifth, are 2-3 in Big 12 play and have not won since Oct. 6. Quarterback Geno Smith, once a Heisman favorite, has thrown three interceptions in his last two games after not throwing any in his first six contests. The Mountaineers will take on Oklahoma State in Stillwater this Saturday before hosting No. 12 Oklahoma on Nov. 17.
Big 12 QBs piling up stats
The Big 12 has emerged as arguably the best offensive conference in college football, thanks in large part to stellar quarterback play. Texas Tech's Seth Doege leads the nation with 31 touchdown passes and Geno Smith is not far behind with 29. Baylor's Nick Florence is third in the nation with 3,019 passing yards, while Doege is sixth with 2,869. In addition to registering these lofty numbers, the Big 12 quarterbacks have been extremely efficient in 2012. Collin Klein leads the nation with an efficiency rating of 174.4, and five other quarterbacks in the conference also crack the FBS' top 20.

For the two weeks following Texas' 66-31 win over Ole Miss, the Longhorn defense put a heavy emphasis on tackling in practice. They worked on technique and their angles of approach to alleviate the issue, and the players were confident heading into the Oklahoma State game.
However, that attitude lasted only two plays before Joseph Randle busted off a 69-yard touchdown run on a play in which he pushed through multiple arm tackles and broke the ankles of Kenny Vaccaro in the open field.
But Vaccaro wasn't alone in whiffing in the open field. Combined, the Longhorns missed 12 tackles, resulting in 109 yards of offense and two touchdowns for the Cowboys.
"We cannot continue to tackle poorly," head coach Mack Brown said. "We did a poor job of stopping the run, and the inability to stop the run gave them their whole playbook. And the defense had a tough time dealing with that."
Texas' inability to handle the run almost solely goes back to its issues with tackling. Randle had a field day up the middle breaking through arm tackles left and right and taking advantage of Texas' poor angles of attack. That bad technique led to Randle's 199-yard, two-touchdown day and a combined 275 yards from rushing by Oklahoma State.
It's not a lack of effort from the Texas defense that results in these numbers, rather it is the issues stemming from incorrect technique.
"We have to make sure we wrap up with our arms and tackle with our chest and take our extra step before the hit," cornerback Carrington Byndom said.
The effort is there and the technique is supposed to be coming, but neither one of those fixes can overshadow a player's lack of ability to perform — something that Brown and defensive coordinator Manny Diaz both mentioned Monday in regard to the tackling problems.
"Most of our missed tackles have been from the linebackers and the secondary," Brown said. "We got four weeks on a guy missing tackles; we got to start looking for another guy."
In regard to another guy, both Brown and Diaz hinted that safety Adrian Phillips was at risk of losing his starting spot for this weekend's game.
Phillips, who has been on and off the field all season battling injuries, has had a rough time tackling this year. Quite a few big plays or touchdowns have happened in his coverage areas because he took a bad angle on a tackle, including on two of Oklahoma State's touchdowns Saturday. His struggles were never more evident than in the first quarter of the Wyoming game.
On a play late in the frame, Phillips was able to make a huge hit on a pass over the middle, the only problem being that the tackle was on Byndom instead of the Wyoming receiver, who ended up sprinting for an 82-yard touchdown pass.
If Phillips is replaced, sophomores Josh Turner and Mykkele Thompson would be the most likely replacements. Neither one of them has a lot of experience on the field, but their teammates are confident in the pair's ability to step up if called upon.
"Those guys have played great," cornerback Quandre Diggs said. "They're going to be very good, they continue to execute and they will be fine."
No matter who lines up beside Vaccaro in the secondary, the lack of tackling will have to be fixed. After all, Heisman front runner Geno Smith and a potent West Virginia offense will be rolling into Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium on Saturday.
The Longhorn defense got away with a spotty performance against Oklahoma State, but they won't get so lucky playing the Mountaineers. As of now, the tackling deficiencies aren't a huge issue because Texas won, but the players acknowledge it would be a different story if the final drive hadn't swung in the Longhorns' favor.
"If we lost, it would be a lot bigger deal," defensive end Jackson Jeffcoat said.

STILLWATER, Okla. — Against Ole Miss, David Ash was good. Against Oklahoma State, Ash was great.
Down by two points with 2:34 left to play, Ash needed to have the drive of his life. He did just that and led the Longhorns to a 41-36 win over Oklahoma State. On fourth and six on the Texas 29-yard line, he kept Texas alive with a quick pass to D.J. Grant for a 29-yard gain.
Two plays later, he gave Mike Davis a second chance. Earlier in the game, Davis dropped a pass in the end zone. But he caught this one from Ash and gave the Longhorns a first down at the 5-yard line.
"He came to me after he barely missed that deep throw early in the first half," Ash said. "He said 'Just give me another chance,' and I said, 'All right, I'll give you another chance,' and he wasn't lying. He was ready to make the play."
Those late game heroics led to Joe Bergeron's game-winning 2-yard run and a win in their Big 12 opener.
The offense thrived, even without Malcolm Brown, who hurt his ankle on his first touch, but the defense struggled. Without linebacker Jordan Hicks, who missed the game with a hip injury, the defense allowed 576 yards.
Missed tackles by safeties Kenny Vaccaro and Adrian Phillips allowed running back Joseph Randle to score a 69-yard touchdown. Randle ran all over the defense and
accumulated 199 yards.
"We figured they would try to pound it on the ground and that's exactly what they did," senior defensive end Alex Okafor said. "At some points we looked bad, at some points we looked great at it."
The offense came to the rescue and evened the score on its first drive. Ash hooked up with Jeremy Hills for 15 yards on 3rd-and-14 before finding Jaxon Shipley for a 44-yard touchdown on the next play.
Shipley also had scoring grabs of 20 and seven yards.
"This last week and this week just shows that our receiver core can make plays," Shipley said. "You can see that from today and so we're just so excited to go out there and for the offense to depend on us receivers and for us to just be able to come through for the team."
Against Oklahoma State last season, Ash went 0-for-8 on passes over 10-yards.
But this isn't the same Ash.
The Cowboys tied it at 14 with J.W. Walsh's 44-yard pass to Josh Stewart. Phillips was injured trying to make a tackle on the play but later returned.
Saturday night was filled with quick responses by both teams.
D.J. Monroe returned the ensuing kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown, his third career kickoff return for a touchdown, giving the Longhorns a seven-point halftime lead.
Ash threw his first interception of the season when Tyler Johnson picked him off during the third quarter. While he responded well to the turnover, the defense did not.
During the Cowboys' next drive, Walsh passed to Tracy Moore three times for gains of 23, 19 and 27 yards to set up a 38-yard field goal. Quandre Diggs had two pass breakups on the drive, one of them a touchdown-saving play.
Ash's third touchdown to Shipley gave the Longhorns a 28-20 lead before Walsh's 20-yard touchdown pass to John Goodlett. Oklahoma State couldn't convert on what would have been a game-tying two-point conversion, cutting Texas' lead to 28-26.
But Randle continued to pick apart the Texas defense and he scored a two-yard touchdown to give the Cowboys a 33-28 lead.
Bergeron's one-yard touchdown run put the Longhorns ahead 34-33 after they couldn't score on the two-point conversion. Things got tight with 3:14 left when the Cowboys kicked a 24-yard field goal to take a 36-34 lead.
"We told the defense that if you hold them to a field goal, we'll win the game," Texas head coach Mack Brown said. "We told the offense the same thing. They're going to hold them to a field goal and you're going to win the game."
Ash and the offense did just that with last minute heroics. He went 30-for-38 with 304 yards and proved he can be clutch Saturday. But more importantly, he proved that he that he is ready to command this offense.

Against Ole Miss, David Ash was good. On Saturday night, David Ash proved that he is ready to lead this offense into Big 12 play.
Down by two points with 2:34 left to play, David Ash needed to have the drive of his life. He did just that and led the Longhorns to a 41-36 win over Oklahoma State.
On fourth and six on the Texas 29-yard line, he kept Texas alive and sent a quick pass to D.J. Grant for a 29-yard gain.
Two plays later, he gave Mike Davis a second chance. Earlier in the game, Davis dropped a pass in the end zone. This time around, Davis caught Ash's pass and gave the Longhorns a first down at the 5-yard line.
"He'd came to me after he barely missed that deep throw early in the first half," Ash said. "He said 'just give me another chance and I said 'alright, I'll give you another chance' and he wasn't lying. He was ready to make the play."
Those late game heroics led to Joe Bergeron's game-winning 2-yard run and the Longhorns' win in their Big 12 opener.
While the offense thrived, the defense struggled. Some of the issues were due to injuries and illness, but the defense allowed the Cowboys 576 yards. Jordan Hicks, who was out with a hip injury, was sorely missed and the Longhorns' problems with missed tackling weren't solved over the bye week.
The defense's woes began on the second play of the game. Missed tackles by safeties Kenny Vaccaro and Adrian Phillips allowed running back Joseph Randle to score a 69-yard touchdown. Randle ran all over the defense and accumulated 152-yards during the game.
"We figured they would try to pound it on the ground and that's exactly what they did," said senior defensive end Alex Okafor. "At some points we looked bad, at some points we looked great at it."-
The offense came to the defense's rescue and evened the score on its first drive. On third and 14, David Ash passed to Jeremy Hills for a 15-yard gain to continue the drive. The next play, he threw a 44-yard pass into the corner of the end zone to Jaxon Shipley.
"This last week and this week just showing that our receiver core can make plays," Shipley said. "You can see that from today and so we're just so excited to go out there and for the offense to depend on us receivers and for us to just be able to come through for the team."
The Ash to Shipley combination aided the offense all night and Shipley had three touchdown receptions of 44, 20 and seven-yards. Against Oklahoma State last season, Ash went 0-for-8 on passes over 10-yards.
The Cowboys evened it up at 14 with J.W. Walsh's 44-yard pass to Josh Stewart. Phillips was looking for the big tackle on the play, but instead, was injured. He returned later in the game.
D.J. Monroe answered the Cowboys score with a 100-yard punt return for a touchdown, giving the Longhorns a 7-point lead heading into the second quarter. This was Monroe's third punt return for a touchdown in his career.
Malcolm Brown sprained his ankle on his first touch of the night and the Longhorns only had 59 rushing yards in the game.
But Shipley and the wide receivers took control of the offense.
During the Cowboy's drive following the interception, Walsh passed to Tracy Moore three times for gains of 27, 23 and 19-yards. Quandre Diggs had two pass breakups on the drive and one prevented a touchdown by Moore. The Cowboys ended the drive with a 38-yard field goal.
After not being able to score in the second quarter, Ash finally broke down the Cowboy defense with his third touchdown pass to Shipley, giving the Longhorns a 28-20 lead.
But, once again, with the help of a 36-yard punt return, the Cowboys responded with a quick touchdown drive. The Cowboys only needed to plays to score. Walsh sent a 20-yard pass to John Goodlett in the end zone. They failed to score on the two-point conversion.
Randle continued to pick apart the Texas defense and he scored a two-yard touchdown to give the Cowboys a 33-28 lead.
Joe Bergeron's one-yard touchdown run put the Longhorns ahead 34-33 after they couldn't score on the two-point conversion. Things got tight with 3:14 left when the Cowboys kicked a 24-yard field goal to take a 36-34 lead.
But, head coach Mack Brown was fine with that.
"We told that defense that if you hold them to a field goal, we'll win the game," Brown said. "We told the offense the same thing. They're going to hold them to a field goal and you're going to win the game."
Ash and the offense did just that with last minute heroics. Ash's first start last season was against Oklahoma State. He went 22-for-40 with 139 yards.
On Saturday, he went 30-for-38 with 304 yards and proved he can be clutch. But, more importantly, he proved that he that he is ready to command this offense.

Published on September 29, 2012 at 9:13 pm
Texas and Oklahoma State both entered the game as top 10 scoring offenses nationally, and both teams lived up to that billing in the first half.
The Longhorns lead the Cowboys 21-17 at the break, and explosive play after play led to those points.
Oklahoma State kicked off the scoring on its second play from scrimmage when Joseph Randle broke off a 69-yard touchdown run with a burst through the left side.
Texas responded quickly however, the Longhorns converted on three straight third downs, and then a few plays later David Ash threw a beautiful 44-yard touchdown pass over the middle to Jaxon Shipley.
On the next Oklahoma State drive Texas' defense responded after its poor first possession. Kenny Vaccaro jumped a curl route for an interception deep in Oklahoma State territory, leading to another Shipley touchdown.
However, missed tackles continued to plague the Longhorns in the first half. Randle had 147 yards in just the first two quarters, and Texas' front four had a difficult time containing quarterback J.W. Walsh from scrambling around in the pocket.
But, the Longhorns still enter the half on top thanks in large part to the speed of D.J. Monroe. The senior speedster juked, jived and forced his way to a 100-yard kickoff return late in the first quarter. A touchdown that sits as the biggest difference in the score thus far.

James Franklin, sophomore Quarterback:
In recent years, Missouri has produced quality quarterbacks starting with Brad Smith who played from 2002 to 2005, Chase Daniel in 2006 and Blaine Gabbert who followed him. With all those players in the NFL, James Franklin has taken over the position with high expectations. Franklin is much more of a dual-threat passer in the mold of Smith. He is averaging almost 67 yards per game on the ground, with a 100-yard game against Oklahoma. He is averaging 243 yards per game passing with 16 touchdowns and seven interceptions. Most of those interceptions came in a three-game span against Kansas State, Iowa State and Oklahoma State. In three losses to Oklahoma, Kansas State and Oklahoma State, he completed less than 55 percent of his passes and threw five interceptions. Franklin is a dangerous player who can be effective in a variety of ways and can thrive in an offensive shootout.
Henry Josey, sophomore Running back
Josey is fifth in the country in rushing, and is the leading rusher in the Big 12 this season by a wide margin, averaging 127 yards per game this season. The next closest runner is Oklahoma States Joseph Randle with just more than 100 yards per game. He has rushed for more than 100 yards in all but three games, with a 263-yard game against Western Illinois. Kansas State is the only team in conference play to hold him to less than 100 yards. He is averaging 8.5 yards per carry this season, and has had at least one 20-yard run in the last eight games. At 5-foot-10 and 190 pounds, he is more of a speed runner who will be getting his yards in space and off the edge.
Brad Madison, Junior Defensive End
A preseason All-Conference selection, Madison had his biggest game this season against Western Illinois where he posted four tackles, three tackles for loss, a forced fumble, a sack and a quarterback hurry. He had his best in-conference game against Iowa State, where he recorded five tackles with a tackle for loss, a quarterback hurry, a sack and even an interception. He has had some positive numbers in their wins, but he needs to be able to apply pressure against higher quality teams if the Tigers are going to win and become bowl eligible. Against a running team like Texas, he will have to be able to get penetration to keep the runs contained in the middle and take advantage against the few times that Texas drops back to pass.
Brandon Weeden
Published on October 14, 2011 at 1:42 pm
Brandon Weeden, Senior QB:
After tossing the pigskin 367 yards in the air last week, the Texas pass defense doesn't catch a break this week with Weeden coming to Austin. The 28-year-old senior has experience to spare and enough arm strength to make every pass seem like a casual flick. He threw for a season-low 288 yards against Kansas on 24 of 28 passing. He threw five touchdown passes against the Jayhawks and has 15 on the season. He does have six interceptions this year, but all of those came in the first three games of the season, with half of them coming in game one against Louisiana-Lafayette. Last year, he had one of his three 400-plus yard games against Texas, passing for 409 in Austin.
Justin Blackmon, Junior WR:
The Cowboy's have began to form a bit of a reputation for producing NFL talent at receiver. Following Dez Bryant, Blackmon won the Biletnikoff award last year as a redshirt junior. Along with being named the best receiver in the country, he was a unanimous all-American and received Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year honors. He lit up Texas last season, catching 145 yards on just nine receptions, including a 67-yard catch and run in second quarter. He had at least 100 receiving yards in 12 games last year, and has three so far this year. Against the young Texas corners, he has a chance to have a big game on Saturday.
Joseph Randle, Sophomore RB:
With so much attention being paid to the Oklahoma State passing attack, Randle has quietly put together a good season having rushed for almost 500 yards so far. His 484 yards this season is already higher than his entire season total last year at 452. After rushing for 378 yards in the first three games, he has been held to 106 in his last two, including just 23 against Kansas. He may be the most important "X-factor" in the game this weekend. With the Texas defense preoccupied with stopping the high-powered Cowboy's passing attack, he could take advantage of the lack of attention to get some yards on the ground against the Longhorns.


I'm really enjoying entering more card challenges this year. This card is for the current AAA Cards Case Game #134.

Coloured with Prismacolor coloured pencils – 905 Aquamarine, 1027 Peacock Blue.
Tip 2: The sentiment was orignally "You Totally Rock" but this was too long for what I wanted so I cut it apart and justs used the "You Rock". Don't panic too much doing this…you can still use the entire original sentiment another time – the cut ends will match up.
When I fussy cut the cat image I cut off the whiskers as they would have been fiddly to cut around. To add them back into the image I just restamped the cat onto the background kraft cardstock and will adhere cutout image over the top.
Adhere music notes to cardbase using liquid glue.
Adhere cat over prestamped image with dimensional foam.
New card to enter into the current Inspired by challenge. I made the deadline this time!

Well, well, well what do we have in store for the real estate market now through the end of the year in Northern Virginia? I believe we are in for a surprise this year. We are going to finish the year stronger than many expect.
Typically, this is a slower time of year but we haven't seen as big a slowdown as we normally do during the holidays. The trends show us houses are coming off the market rapidly both through sales and being withdrawn from the market due to it being "that time of year". But interest rates are at all time lows and buyers are out in full force! In speaking with other professionals – the ones who have been working hard the last few months networking, giving great advice along the way about our market and are communicating with their clients are reaping big rewards. We have one agent, Becky Green, who sold 3 houses this past week – a holiday week no less. Toll Brothers Amberlea in South Riding had 25 visitors on Saturday and we wrote a contract early Sunday morning but I am sure they saw similar activity later in the day – 2 visitors were in the model when we left. An agent in our office wrote a contract on a town house in Herndon and there were 3 others competing for the same house. So much for the slow down around the holidays!
So, where are these buyers coming from? Many are relocation buyers coming into the area and others are relocation buyers from the spring who decided to rent. They wanted to get familiar with the market, our area and wanted to wait and see what was going to happen with the economy and housing sector and now, their leases are ending and they are ready to buy.
People trust homeownership as an investment over buying stocks (66% to 16%). The stock market has seen its' tremendous fluctuations and people have no control over which direction the stock will fluctuate. In contrast, upgrading the home adds value and paying down your mortgage increases the equity in the homes plus the many other advantages of home ownership. In addition, they also trust owning a home over investing in a 401k, buying an insurance annuity or investing in a mutual fund. People find investing in a home safer than any other investment except putting their money into a savings account.
96% of homeowners feel that homeownership has been a positive experience – what's not to like? Stability, pride in ownership, sense of community and many other factors contribute to this positive experience. 17% of renters think renting has been a positive experience which means 83% feel it is negative or neutral. This is a huge disparity which reflects now is a good time to buy!
62% of renters have long-term ownership aspirations – we just mentioned this above in the buyer pool in the market today. Many more will enter the market as their leases come to an end – stay tuned.
Americans continue to expect home rental prices to rise more than home prices over the next year. Americans believe that it is more likely that home rental prices will go up rather than go down by a ratio of almost 4 to 1. Right now, we have a 1.7 month supply of rentals and we see rental rates increasing on a year over year basis in our property management group.
An overwhelming majority of mortgage borrowers remain satisfied with their loans and 3 in 4 Americans are confident they would receive the necessary information to choose the right loan. The teaser rate products, no income no asset loans, and balloon products are out of the market along with many others that created our housing crisis that we are climbing out of today.
Non-financial considerations, such as accessing good education and safety, continue to trump financial reasons for owning a home. With the top three reasons (education, safety, and more space) all increasing in percentages since the last report. People realize how important "home" and one that is theirs is in life.
Since the time of purchase, 59% of mortgage borrowers have seen their home value increase. In many markets, prices have stabilized or increased throughout Northern Virginia. It is time to get into the market before the price escalations begin to soar.
In conclusion, the Fannie Mae survey showed that homeownership is still considered by the vast majority as a good investment (66%) and a positive experience (96%) and, most importantly to those sitting on the fence, 68% think it is a good time for people to buy a home – and you should!
Based upon the information above, it is critical, now more than ever to reach out to a true real estate professional and get the facts on the market and don't rely on the national media for your real estate information. Who knows, Santa may bring you a nice surprise for Christmas! Get it? Got it? Good!
In these tough economic times, its refreshing to know that some places are still looking positive in the real estate markets.

First Steps Daycare, Former Mini Mart Convenience Store
Image uploaded on January 5, 2010
Miscellaneous/General
Built in 1984 to initially a Mini Mart Gas Station & Convenience Store, which closed sometime in the late 1990s. Today it houses a daycare, which is quite ironic considering the Mini Mart sold liquor – the door on the right lead into the liquor store. The store also had a video rental section for awhile.
It was one of several Mini Marts in Bismarck to close or sell during the period. Others were rebranded "Loaf N' Jug" – which is owned by Kroger, same as Mini Mart.

Sony Xperia M4 Aqua First Impressions
by Ronnie Bulaong · September 7, 2015
The Sony Xperia M4 Aqua, which made its official debut back in March, is one of the latest mid-range smartphones from Sony. The combination of its Z3-inspired looks, respectable specification, and waterproof body seems too good to be true for its SRP of under Php14,490.
The Xperia M4 Aqua is one of the more better-looking smartphone in its price range. Its sleek, well-crafted body is sandwiched in between two glasses, similar to the more recent Xperia smartphones that came before it.
The front of the device is mostly all-screen with just enough room at the top to house the secondary camera, earpiece, ambient light sensor and an LED notification light. Since the handset makes use of on-screen buttons for Android navigation, the bottom section of the screen is mostly barren with only the mouthpiece occupying that area.
Of all the sides of the Xperia M4 Aqua, the right side is the busiest one, housing both the volume rockers and power button, as well as a dedicated camera button down at the bottom and a Nano-SIM card slot at the top tucked underneath a plastic flap.
The placement of these physical keys are ideal, particularly the power and volume rockers, and are easily accessible by the thumb for right-hand users. However, there are a few small things that irked us about these buttons that ruined what would otherwise be a seamless implementation.
Firstly, there's no clear distinction between the Volume Up and Volume Down keys. Next, these keys are a little hard to press and require users to bottom the button down to register the action. And lastly, each of these physical buttons produces a louder-than-usual click-y sound when pressed, something that we don't often see on other smartphones.
These things that we pointed out aren't exactly huge design flaws per se, and something that most users won't notice and probably won't give a damn if they did.
Moving on to the other external components, the audio jack is located at the top-left corner of the Xperia M4 Aqua, near the Micro-USB port and Micro-SD card slot that are left near the edge of the handset's left flank.
Down at the bottom you'll find a lone loudspeaker placed near the bottom-right corner of the device. Flip the device on its back and you'll find a familiar sight comprising of rear camera, which has a 13-megapixel resolution, its accompanying LED flash unit.
Sony Xperia M4 Aqua specs:
5-inch IPS HD display, 1280 x 720 @294ppi
Scrath-resistant Glass
64-bit 1.5Ghz Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 octa-core CPU
Expandable 8GB internal storage
Supports up to 32GB microSD
13 megapixel AF rear camera w/ flash
5 megapixel front camera
4G LTE (select markets), 3G HSPA+
DLNA, Miracast
2,400mAh battery
IP65 / IP68-certified
White, Black, Red
In a nutshell, the Sony Xperia M4 Aqua is a slightly miniaturized version of the Xperia Z3 sans the contact point on the left side for docking. So if you like Sony's former flagship's design, you'll definitely love what the company has down with this mid-range smartphone.
With the exception of some minor issues we have with its physical buttons, we are all praises for the Sony Xperia M4 Aqua's design. Its svelte and lightweight form factor feels very good in the hands and its premium build is something you don't typically see on a sub-Php15K smartphone.
If you're buying a smartphone based on its design alone, then the Sony Xperia M4 Aqua is certainly a keeper. However, if you'd like to know if this handset is more than just a pretty-looking device, then check out our full review coming out later this week.

Débat sur l'origine du virus Ebola

EBOLA: Cuba Sees a Crisis, and Sends Docs; The US Sees an Opportunity and Sends Troops
Different responses to Ebola epidemic: Cuba sends doctors; US sends troops and trainers
By Dave Lindorff, Thiscantbehappening
How's this for a juxtaposition on how nations respond to a global health catastrophe. Check out these two headlines from yesterday's news:
Cuba to Send Doctors to Ebola Areas
US to Deploy 3000 Troops as Ebola Crisis Worsens
Reading these stories, which ran in, respectively, the BBC and Reuters, one learns that the Cuban government, which runs a small financially hobbled island nation of 11 million people, with a national budget of $50 billion, Gross Domestic Product of 121 billion and per capita GDP of just over $10,000, is dispatching 165 medical personnel to Africa to regions where there are ebola outbreaks, while the US, the world's wealthiest nation, with a population of close to 320 million, a national budget of $3.77 trillion, GDP of $17 trillion, and per capita GDP of over $53,000, is sending troops — 3000 of them– to "fight" the ebola epidemic.
Okay, I understand that these troops are supposedly going to be "overseeing" construction of treatment centers, but let's get serious. With an epidemic raging through Africa, where some of the poorest nations in the world are located, what is needed right now are not new structures. Tent facilities would be fine for treating people in this kind of a crisis. What is needed is medical personnel. The important line in the Reuters article about the US "aid" plan, though is that the US troops will
…"establish a military control center for coordination, U.S. officials told reporters.
"The goal here is to search American expertise, including our military, logistics and command and control expertise, to try and control this outbreak at its source in west Africa," Lisa Monaco, Obama's White House counter-terrorism adviser, told MSNBC television on Tuesday ahead of the announcement.
Cuba apparently does not feel that it needs to establish a military control center to dispatch its doctors and nurses, nor does it feel that "military, logistics and command and control expertise" are what are needed.
Anyone who thinks this dispatching of US military personnel to Africa is about combating a plague is living in a fantasy world. This is about projecting US military power further into Africa, which has already been a goal of the Obama administration, anxious to prevent China from gaining control over African mineral resources, and to control them for US exploitation.

VIROLOGIST: 'IT'S TOO LATE, EBOLA WILL KILL 5 MILLION'
Expert says virus will infect entire population of African countries

By Paul Joseph WATSON, infowars
A top German virologist has caused shockwaves by asserting that it's too late to halt the spread of Ebola in Sierra Leone and Liberia and that five million people will die, noting that efforts should now be focused on stopping the transmission of the virus to other countries.
Jonas Schmidt-Chanasit of the Bernhard Nocht Institute for Tropical Medicine in Hamburg told Germany's Deutsche Welle that hope is all but lost for the inhabitants of Sierra Leone and Liberia and that the virus will only "burn itself out" when it has infected the entire population and killed five million people.
"The right time to get this epidemic under control in these countries has been missed," said Schmidt-Chanasit. "That time was May and June. "Now it is too late."
The current Ebola outbreak in West Africa has killed over 2200 people, with Liberia and Sierra Leone accounting for over 1700 of those fatalities.
While calling for "massive help" from the international community to prevent Ebola appearing in other countries like Nigeria and Senegal, Schmidt-Chanasit warns that getting a grip on the epidemic in Liberia and Sierra Leone is a departure from reality.
German aid organization Welthungerhilfe blasted Schmidt-Chanasit for his comments, with Sierra Leone based coordinator Jochen Moninger labeling his statements, "dangerous and moreover, not correct." However, Moninger acknowledged that Schmidt-Chanasit's assessment may be accurate in the case of Liberia.
The World Health Organization refused to comment on Schmidt-Chanasit's remarks.
Although Ebola continues to rage in five African countries, media coverage of the epidemic has waned, despite evidence that the virus has mutated.

Ebola outbreak 'out of control,' says CDC director

By John Roberts, Fox
Just back from a week in the Ebola hot zone, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Dr. Tom Frieden had a dire assessment of the situation on the ground there.
"The bottom line is that despite tremendous efforts from the U.S. government, CDC, from within countries, the number of cases continues to increase and is now increasing rapidly," Freiden told a press conference at the CDC today.
The virus is moving faster than anyone anticipated and that's why we need to move now, he said.
During his trip, Freiden visited the three countries hardest hit by the Ebola epidemic – Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea. In Liberia, Frieden donned the familiar yellow suits, face masks and goggles healthcare workers in Africa wear and visited a ward where Ebola patients are being treated.
"There is a window of opportunity to tamp this down", Frieden said, "but that window is closing…we need action now to scale up the response."
The World Health Organization (WHO) today said that the "magnitude of the Ebola outbreak has been vastly underestimated." According to the latest WHO figures, 3,069 people have come down with Ebola. Of them, 1,552 have died— a fatality rate greater than 50 percent. Dr. Frieden told Fox News that unless urgent action is taken to contain the epidemic, it may be impossible to stop. There are not enough hospitals, wards, clinics, doctors or nurses to take care of the numbers of people who are coming down with Ebola, he said.
The world, Frieden said, needs to come together to open more wards and clinics and train health care workers or Ebola could continue to spread to other countries. The West African nation of Senegal yesterday declared a first-priority health emergency after a 21-year-old student who traveled to Senegal from Guinea showed symptoms of Ebola. His brother had died from the disease days earlier. The Democratic Republic of Congo is investigating 24 cases of Ebola hemmorhagic fever, though those cases are believed to be caused by a different strain than the virus that is devastating West Africa.
Frieden says every nation of the world should be worried.
"It's not just in the interest of these countries to get it under control. For every day that this continues to spread in West Africa, the likelihood of someone getting infected and becoming sick elsewhere increases," he told reporters.

The Ebola Breakout Coincided With UN Vaccine Campaigns
By Yoichi Shimatsu Exclusive to Rense.com
The ebola pandemic began in late February in the former French colony of Guinea while UN agencies were conducting nationwide vaccine campaigns for three other diseases in rural districts. The simultaneous eruptions of this filovirus virus in widely separated zones strongly suggests that the virulent Zaire ebola strain (ZEBOV) was deliberately introduced to test an antidote in secret trials on unsuspecting humans.
The cross-border escape of ebola into neighboring Sierra Leone and Liberia indicates something went terribly wrong during the illegal clinical trials by a major pharmaceutical company. Through the lens darkly, the release of ebola may well have been an act biowarfare in the post-colonial struggle to control mineral-rich West Africa
Earlier this year, rural residents eagerly stood in line to receive vaccinations from foreign-funded medical programs. Since the cover-up of the initial outbreak, however, panicked West Africans rural folk are terrified of any treatment from international aid programs for fear of a rumored genocide campaign. The mass hysteria is also fueled in a region traditionally targeted by Western pedophiles by the fact that filovirus survives longer in semen than in other body fluids, a point that resulted in murderous attacks on young men believed to be homosexuals. Ebola detonated fear and loathing, and perhaps that is exactly the intended objective of a destabilization strategy.
This ongoing series of investigative journalism reports on the ebola crisis exposes how West Africans are largely justified in their distrust of the Western aid agencies that unleashed, whether by mistake or deliberate intent, the most virulent virus known to man.

The following article first appeared in the AMSA publication Panacea (2013, edition 1). It appears below with AMSA's kind permission.
"So… why did you choose medicine?"
"Oh, I want to help people."
Great! There is no better reason. Maybe not everyone entered their course with this idea clear in their head. But I sure hope it's at the top of your list now, or at least high up.
But how exactly are you going to help people? And when?
Will you adjust tablets to control blood pressure? Will you give resuscitation in ED? Will you coax appendices out of minute incisions? Will you counsel patients with major depression? Perhaps you'll venture out to disadvantaged communities to ply and share your skills with people who need them most. (If so, more power to you!)
All these things will come at the end of your degree. But how would you like to do something that will help to protect the health and welfare of billions of people around the world for generations to come… right now?
We are in the Critical Decade for our climate. Last year the World Bank reported that current energy practices are likely to lead to a mean global temperature rise of 4˚C by the end of this century, and even more beyond. Unless we act, the consequences will be nothing short of devastating for our planet and the human race: metres of sea level rise, inundation of coastal cities, displacement and conflict, crop failures, famine, major cyclones, droughts, floods, fires, and increases in heat-related illnesses and the spread of infectious diseases. Indeed, the World Bank warns that there is "no certainty that adaptation to a 4˚C world is possible". The Lancet and University College London certainly weren't kidding in 2009 when they identified climate change as "the biggest global health threat of the 21st century". And already today in Australia we are seeing warmer days, more severe heatwaves, bushfires and floods.
In short, it's a big problem. Fortunately, there is a solution. You.
I'm not just talking about riding bikes, switching off lights and eating vegetarian. All those things help, but focusing on them exclusively keeps the spotlight on us as individuals and away from the institutions that prosper under the status quo. We need to understand the problem individually, but we need to address it collectively. Why do our politicians drag their feet in drafting significant policies to address this emergency? Why does our media give equal or greater coverage to climate change deniers when the proportion of scientists agreeing on it is over 97%? Simply put, it is because large industries have enormous interests in keeping it that way, and they're not afraid to exercise their power.
But things are changing. A movement of fossil fuel divestment has sprung up across the United States. Following student and community campaigns, six universities and colleges, 16 city councils and ten religious institutions have pledged to freeze and wind down all their investments in the coal, oil and gas companies that commercialise our planet's destruction. The movement is still building and has spread to Australia, where university groups are campaigning and the Uniting Church Synod of NSW and the ACT has also committed to divest. Now is our chance to turn around our society's dangerous environmental trajectory, starting with our own social institutions.
To help make this kind of change, I've joined Doctors for the Environment Australia, a national association of medical students and doctors dedicated to addressing the health risks imposed by damage to our environment. At a student level, we have a network of members around most medical schools in Australia running seminars, meetings, film screenings, actions and our annual conference. Visit www.dea.org.au if you'd like to join and get in touch with your state representative. If there isn't yet a group at your university, there should be, and you can make it happen. We would love your help – we are all responsible for what happens to our world, and everyone can make a big difference.
We are medical students, and we will be doctors. We are among the academic elite. We are trained to critically evaluate information and make difficult decisions in the face of uncertainty. Most importantly, we have the trust of the public that we will do our best to serve the interests of everyone.
We are ideally placed to lead our world to a healthy future.
Let's make the most of it.
