Graduate Student Gone Greek

There is more to Greek life than choosing a favorite fabric for a letter shirt, or finding a date for next weekend's mixer social. For some, it is an opportunity to polish a resume, but for most, it is also a chance to impact the community and develop life-long friendships. For Taylor Symons, Greek life did not end when he graduated. He put his passion into action; Greek life is his job.
Symons works as a graduate assistant at the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life. He enrolled at JMU after graduating from Kansas State University in 2009 with a bachelor's degree in Organizational and Relational Communication Studies.
As a second-year graduate student in the College Student Personnel Administration program, he is required to participate in an assistantship for a student affairs office. When researching possible assistantships on-campus, the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life was his first choice. Symons thought it would be a great fit because, as an undergraduate, he was a brother of FarmHouse Fraternity, one of the few national social fraternities that have not adopted Greek letters. "I had such a great Greek experience, so I have such a passion for Greek life," said Symons.
It is Symons' job to assist the on-campus Greek organizations, helping them reach their goals and uphold their mission statements. "I've learned from experience that when a fraternity or sorority is done right, when they truly uphold their mission and their morals, it can change your life," states Symons.
More specifically, Symons co-advises the executive members JMU Panhellenic Council, which governs 12 sororities. Last year he co-advised the Interfraternity Council, which governs 15 fraternities. He also assists in the planning and execution of campus-wide programs such as National Hazing Prevention Week, Panhellenic Recruitment, and the Fraternity & Sorority Life Excellence Awards.
Symons' enthusiasm for Greek life is visible through his work ethic. "By contract, I am required to work 20 hours a week," states Symons. "But, there are some weeks where I work more than that. For example, during sorority recruitment, I worked a lot more than usual because things needed to get done."
According to Symons, working in the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life is highly team-oriented. Under the leadership of two full-time professionals, Symons works along side a second graduate assistant. On a daily basis, he additionally works with nine undergraduate employees that fulfill roles in office administration, marketing, programming, housing, event management, and alumni development.
After graduating with his master's degree, Symons hopes to work as a professional in the student affairs field. Ultimately, he aspires to serve as a vice president to an academic institution. But for now, he notes that he truly enjoys his job. "My favorite part of the job is the opportunity I have to work directly with students," expresses Symons. "The students I work with truly want to give back to JMU as well as to their brothers and sisters. They are a lot of fun and they always keep me on my toes."
If you have a passion for Greek life, the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life may be the place for you. They offer many employment opportunities for both undergraduate and graduate students. For more information, visit their website at http://www.jmu.edu/fsl.

A still morning begins to illuminate the bedroom through the red, semi-sheer curtained window. With half-cast eyes, I look beside me to find a pair of gentle, sleeping eyes on my little boy's face. His small features are perfectly framed by dark curly hair, matted on each side from turning in his sleep. This was our first.. I try not to remember the way I would trace the similarities between our son and he, which seemed more striking to me as they slept beside each other on our family bed. Trying not to stir the little breathing body on the big bed, I roll out and sneak into the living room mess of last night. The shadow of dust that missing furniture leaves behind, mixes with baby toys, and defines the first puzzle. I sit at the couch and look at the quiet empty walls of a now spacious living room. I design, and redesign in my mind, the placement of furniture that is left. I try to let the freshness of a more open space come over me, save the empty and dusty drafting table left behind that seemed like a mismatch against the rest of the scene. The stubborn memory of last night's transition keeps finding it's way into my different layouts, but I don't let the thought drag. I rush into the kitchen to grab a broom. I move the drafting table closer to the exit way of the living room, leaving space enough only for a small person to move in and out of the hallway. I pick up and dust off the jingling toys and throw them into the playpen, and begin to sweep. I continue designing the new living room in my mind, this time with a lavender scented clean floor. The dust particles gather at the soles of my feet. I rub the dust off of one foot, onto the top of the other, and the particles feel abrasive against the thin skin. The wood on the floor looks thirsty without the chaos covering its face. The sound of an abandoned baby makes me throw the broom back in its place and almost run towards the bed. He stops crying when he sees me, and I ask him, "you wanna help mama move some furniture?" He responds by rubbing his eyes with his fists, and then crawls toward the edge of the bed when I approach him. I pick him up and lay him on the changing table, wondering if there are ways I could move things around in the bedroom too. I think to myself, "one puzzle at a time." After changing his diaper, he looks to see where we are headed as I carry him into the living room. The floor is too cold for his bare feet, and the project is too dangerous for a tumbling toddler, so I place him among his toys in the playpen. He stands and watches as I try to organize, and reorganize the book and paper scattered rectangular table I call my desk, the soft beige couch that was delivered to us just about a week before he was born, and the toy cluttered playpen he is standing in. The desk is now tucked into the corner of the space by the heater that sits underneath the windowsill. The playpen becomes the center of entertainment against the longest wall and directly across from the kitchen opening. After trying different walls, the couch is back at the old wall beside the desk, except a small side table is placed at the front of the right end. I put a placemat and a few books illustrating African masks on the small table to add a homey touch. The sun hasn't climbed high enough to illuminate the empty corner where his desk used to be. I've reserved that space for the round table we used to eat in, when we weren't at the couch watching a movie or one of our downloaded shows from his computer screen. The table is top-heavy and difficult to maneuver outside of the kitchen entrance. I try lowering it on it's side, slowly, careful not to slam it onto my toes. My son looks on with a serious pair of eyebrows and I wonder if he notices the seemingly odd placement of the table, in a corner that had occupied a third of our family for long silent hours. He begins to get restless, and I try with a happy voice, to list and detail everything I'm doing as I move across the living room. He listens and interrupts with syllables that don't quite make out words, but I've convinced him that we're conversing somehow. The sound of the stick end of the mop hitting the floor incites a loud giggle, bursting from the playpen. I look at his four-toothed smile with a grin of my own and slam the mop again on the floor. The sound of his giggle makes me wonder how I will redraw a future for him that continues to incite that sound. The sight of the mop's soapy tresses against the dry floor keeps him engaged, as I push the dirt away from the crevices of the wood and quench the floor's thirst.
The smell of lavender reminds me of the oil I once held to my nose to relieve the ulcer pains I suffered throughout the last months of my pregnancy. The pain would hit at night, beginning with a burning stomach, lifted and squeezed to give way to our growing son. The burn traveled into the right side of my back, resulting in tears, and sometimes shortened my breath. I'd shift my heavy body onto the edge of our bed and slowly make my way into the bathroom to hang my face over the toilet bowl. The bathroom light would make him turn toward the wall, and there he would stay unless I woke him up, begging to rub my back to allow the food to come up quicker. Sometimes he gave it a short rub, without sitting up completely, and turned back around. Other times I didn't want to be reminded that he had so little to give, and I would open my bottle of lavender oil, lift it toward my tearing face, and try to bring the cold, "s" shaped, metal self massager around my swollen belly.
I realize that I've been aggressively jerking the mop around when I'm done, and my lower-back feels strained. I look at the scene, and it's not exactly what I drew in mind, but it would have to do, for now. The kitchen is next, and I have some ideas in mind, but the thought of taking on another mission seems too exhausting, and my little boy is getting bored of the mop. I plan instead to give him a bath while I shower before dressing us up, and take on a more festive family occasion, preferably, outside of the apartment.

Yes. it makes sense. Dissolved carbon dioxide in the water passes through the RO membranes while minerals do not. Dissolved CO2 forms carbonic acid (H2CO3) and acidifies water. The demineralized water on the permeate side of the RO membranes has little buffering in it to resist the pH change caused by the dissolved CO2 passing through the membranes.
PS: Don't worry too much about the pH of any water source in brewing. Its the alkalinity that counts.
Oh my. There is so much I don't know. This statement at my current level of understanding makes no sense. Alkalinity is just one side of the sliding scale we call pH, isn't it? Alkalinity is just the opposite of acidic on this scale isnt it?
There is a definition of alkalinity that presents it as the opposite of acidity. Unfortunately, that is not the definition in use here. Alkalinity is a measure of the buffering capacity of the liquid or resistance to acidification as Nate mentions.
To me, it's just "buffering capacity." Quite possibly, this is a case where different disciplines use different terms for the same thing.

April 19, 2013
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Contact: Toni Troop
April 19, 2013 Mobile: 617-212-7571
MassachusettsLeader chosen among 23 nationwide recipients of 2013 Visionary Voice Award by NSVRC
Jane Doe Inc. to present award to Becky Lockwood, Associate Director of
Center for Women and Community
WHEN: Tuesday, April 30, 2013 at 2:30 PM
WHERE: Center for Women & Community (CWC) on the UMass Amherst Campus, New Africa House, Reading Room, 2nd Floor
WHAT: The National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC) offers the Visionary Voice award, in conjunction with Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) each April, to recognize the creativity and hard work of individuals around the country who have demonstrated outstanding work to end sexual violence. Each year, state, territory, and tribal coalitions select an outstanding individual to nominate for the awards. Nominees may be partners from a local community or other outstanding individuals that have worked to end sexual violence.
WHO: JDI Executive Director Mary R. Lauby along with Northwest District Attorney David Sullivan and colleagues from UMass Amherst and the Center for Women and Community will honor Becky Lockwood, Associate Director of Counseling and Rape Crisis Services of the Center for Women & Community.
WHY: Jane Doe Inc. nominated Becky for this award because she is a respected and recognized leader in the area of sexual violence intervention and prevention among her peers, in her community, and across the state. She is known as a risk taker – always looking for new opportunities to support survivors and prevent violence and being an advocate for marginalized communities. Her success has been in her ability to implement innovative support and prevention programs and establish relationships with key university, community, state and national stakeholders. Read our nomination for more details about Lockwood's history in the movement to prevent and end sexual violence.
Mary R. Lauby, JDI's Executive Director, said, "The process of nominating someone for a national award requires us to evaluate not only who has shown leadership and dedication to the work but also to identify what it is we value as a movement for social justice. Massachusetts is so fortunate to have someone with such compassion, clarity and fortitude advocating on behalf of ALL victims and survivors of sexual violence. Becky deserves our praise and our gratitude."
Among Becky's key accomplishments are:
- Developed collaborative partnership with local police department and university police department to provide onsite Civilian Advocate who addresses sexual assault issues and works with sexual assault victims, as well as domestic violence survivors (applied for and received state and then federal funding to support this advocate)- now expanded to a third department: Northampton PD
- Coordinates the Hampshire County Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) which brings together staff from the Northwestern District Attorney's Office, campus and municipal law enforcement, health care providers and SANE to discuss best practices in providing a victim-centered response to survivors of sexual assault.

- Co-Chaired the JDI statewide Sexual Assault Advisory Board for several years
Under the leadership of Lockwood and Co-Director gisella zuniga, the Center for Women & Community has:
- Improved collaboration with the Emergency Department at Cooley Dickinson Hospital which has resulted in a 125% increase (over four years) in the number of sexual assault victims who are served by CWC Rape Crisis Advocates at the Cooley Dickinson Emergency Department.
- Developed & implemented a protocol with UMass Dean of Students to have CWC Rape Crisis staff automatically follow up by phone with survivors when they make a report of sexual or relationship violence or stalking to the Dean's Office.
- Expanded and created innovative ways to recruit, train and involve volunteers to help provide thousands of hours of support to victims and survivors and to conduct educational programs throughout Hampshire County.
- Co-sponsored UMass annual production of Vagina Monologues, including training cast and crew about sexual violence, which nearly 1,000 people attend annually.
- Sponsored UMass "Consent is Sexy" campaign this spring for Sexual Assault Awareness Month; distributed to local bars both cocktail napkins and condoms with tips about how to ask for consent.

PawSox leftie Chris Hernandez takes a no-hitter into the seventh inning in a 4-3 win over Louisville.
Chance are if you'd told Pawtucket Red Sox lefthander Chris Hernandez that he'd face Joey Votto three times, and come away having yielded just a harmless single, he would have been happy with that.
But not Sunday afternoon at McCoy Stadium, where Hernandez took a no-hitter into the seventh inning before the slugging Cincinnati Reds first baseman--currently rehabbing a knee problem with triple-A Louisville--slammed a single into right-center field. Hernandez escaped that minor problem--except for two walks, no one else reached base--and exited an inning later having thrown 102 pitches that pretty well baffled the Louisville lineup.
Both bullpens struggled before the PawSox clinched the 4-3 final decision, but the main story was the 25-year old southpaw who'd pitched the best game of his Pawtucket career, whiffed a career-high nine men, and defeated Louisville Bats' starter, ex-major leaguer Chien-Ming Wang.
"I started thinking about the no-hitter after the fourth inning," Hernandez admitted. "I remembered then that I hadn't given up any hits. Every time I sat down between innings I tried to stop worrying about that, and focusing on what was going on now."
"If there was anybody I had to give up the first hit to, Joey Votto is certainly as good as it gets," said Hernandez. "I was a little tired by that point, and to tell the truth, on the pitch before that, which he fouled off, I felt I had gotten away with one. I tried to go up and away on him, and he went and got it. As soon as that happened I was more set on getting the win, and not really upset about the no-hitter."
Hernandez is having a pretty good season at Pawtucket this year, despite the fact his record only improved to 3-6 after the win Sunday. He's definitely hoping to rekindle some interest from above, after a disappointing season in 2013 in Pawtucket. Back in 2012, Hernandez, a Florida native who compiled a 28-8 record as a starter at University of Miami, split time between AA Portland and Pawtucket. While his combined won-lost mark that year was just 5-12, he ranked second among all full-season Red Sox farmhands with a 3.26 earned run average.
Expectations were fairly high going into last year, but the 6'2 Hernandez never got untracked. He was 1-8 as a starter with a 5.40 ERA, and while he was 2-1 in relief, his ERA jumped to 6.85. By the time August rolled around, Hernandez had a combined ERA of 5.72, to go with his 3-9 record, and he spent the last month of the season back in Portland. He was effective there, 2-0 with a 1.64 ERA in five starts, but it was still a step backwards for a player in his fourth pro season.
So far, 2014 has seen Hernandez slowly getting back in the groove, and his ERA was a solid 3.48 going into Sunday's fateful start. But just as the dreadful offensive numbers in Boston have made for a lot of upheaval, the Pawtucket offense hasn't been exactly on fire. Anyone who's shown any semblance of offense at Pawtucket has probably been promoted to the struggling BoSox. The PawSox have scored less than 3 runs in 34 games this season, with a record of 8-26 in those games, so Hernandez and all the pitchers have suffered from lack of support.
But Sunday's extra added problem was Votto, the 2010 National league Most Valuable Player, after a season in which he slammed 37 homers, knocked in 113 runs, and batted .324. A four-time All Star, Votto has a lifetime batting average of .312. Last year Votto had his season cut a bit short by injuries, and only hit 24 home runs, with 73 rbis, while batting .305. Votto, 30, went on the disabled list May 16 with a sprained left knee, and Sunday was his first time in action since.
Hernandez struck out Votto in the first inning, and induced a fly ball out when he faced him again in the fourth. Hernandez will probably remember that third at-bat most of all however, even if the larger perspective of his own pitching resurgence is more important in the long run.
"Chris Hernandez was just terrific today," said Pawtucket manager Kevin Boles. "He threw all his pitches effectively, and his cutter really had some bite to it. He maintained his effectiveness out of the stretch, got a lot of swings and misses, had a good tempo that kept his fielders engaged, and also got a lot of infield play outs."
And then of course, he handled Votto okay until that single.
"What an impressive career Votto has had," said Boles. "I saw him for the first time in A-ball in Dayton, and we could see he was something special back then. He might pop it up, but he pops it up over the wall. Joey Votto was always a guy who stood out, and we all knew he had a chance to be a real quality major league hitter."
"I'm very happy with today's game, but I'm still a work-in-progress," said Hernandez. "I kept them off-balance, and mixed my speeds, worked the ball in and out. It's always nice when you get a chance to remind people I'm still here, and I want to be in the mix for the big club too."
Hernandez wanted to make sure he cited the coach who taught him the cut fastball he figures is his best pitch. His high school coach, Chuck Wyman, from Monsignor Pace High School in his native Florida helped the hurler develop the pitch he feels is central to any success he's had.
"My cutter was working very well today from both sides of the plate," said Hernandez, when asked what pitches were working best for him Sunday. "The cutter is pretty much my bread and butter and has been since high school. Anywhere I've gone, the cutter has been the single biggest thing that kept me getting outs and moving up the ladder, so I can never thank Coach Wyman enough."
Louisville, presumably with Votto still in the lineup, is at McCoy Stadium for a night game Monday and a 1:05 p.m. matinee on Tuesday if fans want to see the Reds superstar. But if Boston fans wonder where some of the Fenway Park's future pitching help is coming from, they might want to make a trip to Pawtucket to check out the big lefty from Florida, too.

Grammy award-winning artist Nelly will present two scholarships to local high school students at 3:30 p.m. on Friday, April 12, at the Lindenwood House on the school's St. Charles campus. This marks the fifth year for the event, which is sponsored by the university's Black Student Union, Plaza Motors, and Nelly's record label, Derrty Ent.
Lindenwood announced at Nelly's Black and White Ball in St. Louis in 2008 that it would begin annually awarding two, four-year, full-tuition scholarships in partnership with the artist. Since then, Nelly has presented recipients with the awards during special presentations at the university.
Applications were distributed to all high schools in the St. Louis Metropolitan Area. The opportunity was open to all incoming first-year students who met Lindenwood admission requirements and demonstrated academic success, leadership, and financial need. Applicants also submitted a 200-to 300-word essay describing their personal goals and aspirations for college and their plans for applying their education and talents in the future.
Following a thorough review of all submitted applications, Charles Fraction and Naa'na Wilson were selected as 2013-2014 award recipients by the Black and White Ball Scholarship Evaluation Committee.
Fraction currently attends Elsberry High School in Elsberry, Mo., and plans to major in graphic design at Lindenwood. Wilson attends Jennings High School in Jennings, Mo., and plans to study pre-veterinary science and biology at the university.

Failure can take a tremendous psychological toll. Whether it's rejection from a client prospect, an embarrassing slip during a presentation or losing a business, personal setbacks can have traumatic, long-lasting effects on a career.
Continue Reading Below
Research has shown that most of those who fail at a task tend to rate the physical obstacles as being dimensionally larger and farther out of reach than they actually are. Left unchecked, this unconscious processing of setbacks can have devastating effects as the more you experience failure the more likely you are to scale back your efforts, ultimately throwing-in the towel.
Psychologists refer to this as "learned helplessness" and psychologist Dr. Martin Seligman has been studying the phenomenon for decades. Essentially, learned helplessness is a form of psychological paralysis that stifles our ability to recover from a setback because we drive ourselves into a pessimistic spiral through negative self-talk and personal guilt. Seligman says the best way to inoculate people from the spiral is to teach optimism.
There are certainly those among us who have a natural resilience. Just about every successful entrepreneur I've worked with or interviewed has resilience built into their DNA. It's a part of their personality and often the key ingredient to their success. For many of us, this resilience doesn't come naturally. However, there is a solution. Seligman says that just as helplessness is learned, so to can optimism.
In a 2011 Harvard Business Review article, Seligman lays out an argument for why optimism is so critical to business success and how to develop it within ourselves and our employees. According to Seligman, optimists view setbacks as: temporary, local, and changeable. In other words, optimists understand setbacks are typically moments in time that can be remedied and may even lead to positive future outcomes. The key is their belief in being able to take control of how they react and respond to the situation. He believes there are five building blocks for developing resilience:
- Positive emotion
- Engagement
- Relationships
- Meaning
- Accomplishment
Seligman and his team have actually built a curriculum around these building blocks that is being tested by the Department of Defense. So, based on these concepts, when faced with a setback or coaching an employee on handling a setback, here are a few things to consider:
Pay Attention to Your State of Mind . Self-awareness is critical to reframing how you view setbacks. It's important to be aware of how you naturally react to setbacks: the way you think, act and make decisions in the heat of the moment can be dangerous. The idea is to be ready to take steps to counter any negative self-talk or excessive personal blame that may slide you into the pessimistic spiral. When hit with a setback, always stop to and check yourself. Be sure to pull yourself out of emotions of moment and check to see if your thoughts and actions are constructive and not destructive.
Be Your Own Motivational Speaker. The reason motivational speakers get paid the big bucks is because they know how to make us feel good. Try to replace negative self-talk with positive self-talk. Negative self-talk only serves to catastrophize the situation, which serves no positive purpose and does nothing to remedy the setback.
Focus on the positives however few and far between they may be. Look at the opportunities and play-up the notion of overcoming challenge. Find the lessons learned and embrace the opportunity to make positive change for a better future.
Seek Support. One of the most powerful buffers to stress is social support, yet far too few of us seek it out when we really need it. For many it's tempting to crawl into a shell and hide after experiencing a setback. However, being alone with your thoughts can feed your inclination to self-blame and create a narrative that may be skewed from reality.
We are all victims of living in our own heads, so getting an outside perspective can shed light on aspects of the situation that may have been obscured by your emotions. Always seek counsel from a friend who can provide honest feedback and positive solutions for moving forward.

I've developed a module that implements support for the syntax of "codice fiscale", the personal identification code used by the Italian government to uniquely identify citizen. I think it might be of general use, although possibly limited to Italian users, so I'd like to give it a somewhat official and unbiased OID, rather than one under my arc or SysNet's. Would it qualify as general enough for OpenLDAP's OID arc, at least while experimental? I believe the need for a dedicated syntax (as opposed to IA5string, printableString or so) is that its definition, although flawed, needs to conform to quite a few restrictions, and a syntax that allows to detect trivial errors and single out impossible values would be definitely helpful. I need the OID in order to submit code along with an ITS for contrib. An OID arc would be best, because the kit consists in:
- a syntax - an equality matching rule (cfMatch) - an attribute spec (cf) - an auxiliary objectClass spec (cfObject)

HUNTINGTON, Utah (CNN) -- Rescue workers said they detected a noise Wednesday night -- though it's unclear what it was -- deep inside the Utah mine where six men have been trapped for nine days.
Crandall Canyon coal mine safety officer Bodie Allred, right, is consoled by mine boss Bob Murray.
"We saw some indication of noise for a period of about five minutes that we had not seen before," said Richard Stickler, director of the U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration. "We're not sure what it means."
Bob Murray, president and CEO of mine co-owner Murray Energy Group, told reporters, "Don't read too much into this noise we picked up."
"But it is a sign of hope," he said.
Stickler said that based on the location of the unknown noise, rescuers have decided to change the location of a fourth drill hole they are planning to bore down into the mine in an effort to make contact with the miners and determine the conditions inside. The new drilling is expected to begin Thursday morning. See photos of the rescue efforts »
Wednesday evening, a video camera and microphone were lowered into a third bore hole, which was completed earlier in the day. Mine officials told CNN that video from the scene showed a brattice curtain, which miners can use as a short-term refuge for fresh air in the event of a cave-in. It was unclear if the curtain was newly erected or had been set up at an earlier time.
Workers planned to insert a steel pipe into the hole to draw air out of the mine for testing after the camera and microphone were pulled out.
"That will tell us whether there is an atmosphere that will sustain human life," Murray said.
Two earlier bore holes driving into the mine have yielded no signs of life, but they have shown there is survivable space and some breathable air, rescuers have said. Watch Murray explain why there's still reason for hope »
During the drilling of the third bore hole Wednesday morning, two of the six "geophone" listening devices on the mountain above the mine detected the unknown noise, Stickler said. It lasted for about five minutes, stopped and has not been detected since, he said.
Geophones have never been used successfully to rescue trapped miners, but, in experiments, they have been able to pick up signals as far as 2,000 feet under the surface, Stickler said.
There has been no contact with the six miners since they were trapped August 6.
Even if the trapped miners are found to be alive, it will be days before they could be brought out. At least 1,100 feet of tunnel in a 2,000-foot stretch -- the only way out -- remain to be cleared through many tons of coal rubble.
The work is made tedious by the need for a team of miners to follow the machine, shoring up the tunnel walls with high-pressure jacks, chain-link fencing and wooden beams along the way.
It's expected to take at least another week -- barring more problems -- before the tunnel is cleared enough to allow a search of the area, rescuers have said.
However, that work has been slow going, hampered by unstable conditions and seismic shifts inside the mine.
While Murray continued to insist an earthquake caused the mine collapse and it was not related to mining activity, seismologists at the U.S. Geological Survey have said no earthquake occurred at the mine site. The collapse inside the mine registered a 3.9 magnitude, they said.
Friends and family have identified the trapped men as: Louis Alonso Hernandez, 23; Manuel Sanchez, 41; Kerry Allred, 57; Carlos Payan, in his 20s; Brandon Phillips, 24; and Don Erickson, 50. See the miners' profiles »
Bodie Allred, a cousin of Kerry Allred, is normally a miner, but his job now is mine rescue supervisor.
"I know that the gentlemen in there know that we are on our way," Allred said Wednesday. "They know damn well that we're doing what we can to get to them, and we're going to do it. There is no doubt about it," he added.
Asked if he believed they were alive, Allred said, "Yes, I do. They're very tough men." E-mail to a friend

Cards' bats unable to back Wacha's solid outing
CHICAGO -- The Cardinals' first two games of the current series, much like their season to date, elicits a response of "go figure."

CHICAGO -- The Cardinals' first two games of the current series, much like their season to date, elicits a response of "go figure."
A day after a pedestrian Cubs offense scored six runs off Adam Wainwright, the Cardinals couldn't muster anything against Jake Arrieta, who was making his first start of the season after beginning the year on the DL.View Full Game Coverage
The offense continued its up-and-down act, and was blanked by Arrieta for 5 1/3 innings and five Cubs relievers in Chicago's 3-0 win Saturday before a crowd of 37,874 at Wrigley Field. As Matt Holliday noted, the Cardinals hitting woes are overstated -- they scored five runs on Friday and nine against the Brewers on Wednesday -- but no one can quite figure out what will get the Cards hitters on track.
"I don't think there's, like, one answer to that," said Holliday, who went 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout. "We've got to put together quality at-bats. When you string them together, you have a chance to score runs. Right now we have some guys that are putting together a good at-bat and then we can't string them together.
"We're capable of stringing good at-bat after good at-bat together, we just haven't been able to do that consistently yet."
The Cardinals managed seven hits off Cubs pitching, all singles, with four coming off Arrieta. Their lack of offense wasted a strong start by Michael Wacha, whose only major mistake was leaving a 2-1 fastball over the heart of the plate to Junior Lake, who launched it into the left-center-field bleachers for a two-run homer that broke a scoreless tie with two outs in the sixth inning.
"I mean, it's just frustrating, really," said Wacha, who allowed five hits in six innings while striking out six and walking three. "Pitching well and I was able to get out of a jam there, but then just start warming up basically to him and they go up two runs and you just can't afford that in that situation. Like I said, it's just pretty frustrating."
"Wacha was good today and he got himself into some trouble but worked out of it a few times," said Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo. "Junior, that home run is huge for us. That was it, that was the deciding factor."
Few believed the Cardinals could repeat their record-setting .330 average with runners in scoring position from 2013. They rode that clutch hitting all the way to the World Series, but with their pitching staff they probably could have gone deep into October with even a middling rate in those situations.
With a middling rate this season, the Cardinals would likely be better than one game below .500. They had opportunities to score Saturday despite not stringing together consecutive hits until the ninth inning, though they put two on via a hit followed by a walk in both the first and second innings. St. Louis entered Saturday's game hitting .228 with runners in scoring position, a rate that only got worse after an 0-for-6 showing against Arrieta and company.
Manager Mike Matheny has tried just about everything to get his offense on an even plane of success, from shuffling the order of the lineup to mixing and matching his personnel to the usual conversations with players. Is there that much more he can do before his hitters take matters into their own hands?
"There's always something we can do. We all have to figure it out," Matheny said. "Any good team I've been around you have times when you just can't figure it out and you're scratching your head wondering what's going on. It's not time to just say, 'I've done everything I can do,' You've got to grind, you've got to push through this.
"That's the philosophy of our offense when we're going right and we're going to have to fight our way through it, and right now it's not looking like what we want it to look like and whatever we're doing, it's just not working. So we've got to figure it out. We've got to figure it out fast."
Matheny later added that he likes the approach his hitters are taking. With two outs in the first, Holliday walked and reached third on Matt Adams' bloop single to left before Yadier Molina struck out. Jhonny Peralta and Jon Jay led off the second with a single and walk, respectively. After Greg Garcia struck out, Wacha's sacrifice attempt was pushed too hard towards a charging Rizzo, who fired to third to get the lead runner Peralta. Matt Carpenter then popped out to end the threat.
"I was also hitting today and didn't get [runners] over and then struck out. I mean, I'm at fault there today as well," Wacha said.
Wacha pitched out of his only major trouble in the fifth. Lake doubled and Mike Olt walked, setting up a sacrifice situation for Arrieta, who couldn't get the bunt down and eventually struck out. Two batters later, Wacha walked Luis Valbuena to load the bases with two outs, but got Rizzo to ground out to strand the trio of runners.
The reigning National League champions were 20-11 through the first 31 games of 2013. Cardinals fans have become so accustomed to owning the NL Central, it would be unwise to assume the division crown ran anywhere but through St. Louis because of early season struggles.
The Cardinals veteran-laden lineup is stocked with hitters who have a good track record. Holliday, for one, believes his struggling teammates will turn things around and match the back-of-the baseball-card numbers they've become known for sooner rather than later.
"Every guy in our lineup has done it at a high level individually before," he said. "It's one of those things where I'm not sure what's it going to take, but I think eventually we're all going to get it going and we'll be right up there at the top in offense."

U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
Milestones: 1995
A unanimous Supreme Court in
McKennon v. Nashville Banner Publishing Co.
, rejects the so called "after acquired evidence" doctrine applied by lower courts to bar a plaintiff from proving unlawful discrimination. Under the doctrine, employers after firing an employee or taking other adverse action, justify their actions by relying on evidence uncovered after the employee's termination which would have justified the termination. The Supreme Court rules that in such cases, the employer is still liable for having violated an anti-discrimination law but that the employee is not entitled to reinstatement or to back pay for the period after the employer learns of the misconduct.
EEOC wins a religious discrimination case,
EEOC v. Ilona of Hungary, Inc.
, which involved the termination of two women who were fired for taking Yom Kippur off from work. The employer refused to accommodate the religious beliefs of employees.
The Commission approves changing the agency's private sector charge processing system from the one on one full investigation approach to a more strategic approach. The new approach -- priority charge processing -- allows early dismissal of charges in which the agency has no jurisdiction, and early dismissal of those charges which are self-defeating or unsupported. Charges where the initial evidence suggests a violation of law are prioritized. The Agency no longer investigates charges based on the filing date, nor will it insist on "full relief" in every case where a violation has been found. EEOC's backlog of approximately 112,000 charges begins to decline.
For the first time, more individuals file charges alleging disability discrimination than discrimination on account of age.
EEOC undertakes a new partnership with state and local Fair Employment Practice Agencies (FEPAs) designed to eliminate duplication of effort in charge processing and reducing unnecessary reporting requirements. EEOC and the FEPAs create a Joint Standing Committee that regularly reviews programs and jointly resolves issues of mutual interest.
Between November 1995 and January 1996, the Federal Government is twice shut down for several days when Congress and the President do not agree on the federal budget. EEOC offices across the country are officially closed, but are staffed by volunteers to accept charges and counsel members of the public.

CLI SMTP mailer
Subject description: tiny download
Dear Puppians,
I recently compiled a tiny command line SMTP mailer that you might find useful. It can send out plain text files as well as encoded binary attachments. You could use it, for example, to automate the sending out of "proprietary" TV sat codes available on a variety of web pages. In a series of scripts, you would use wget to grab a page with recent codes, parse them to grab the codes of interest, format them for your own purposes and send them out automatically to a few friends. All this could take place automatically at regular intervals using cron. What would be particularly pleasing is that you wouldn't have to open a web browser, inspect each page manually for what you want and load a mail client such as sylpheed to do the sending. The program is also useful for mailing notifications regarding system status (e.g. sending the results of "cat /var/log/messages | grep err").
There is an email.conf file in /usr/local/etc/email that requires editing before you can run this program. Simply indicate your SMTP server and login parameters etc. and away you go. If you want to have separate system-wide and personal configurations, copy email.conf to /root/.email.conf (notice the preceding dot) and make changes to the latter. The file in /root will override the global settings.
A sample script to launch email looks like this:
p1="email@example.com" # This is the "to address"
p2="-s This is my test subject" # This is the "subject"
p3="/tmp/mytext.txt" # This is the plain text file to send as "body text"
email $p1 "$p2" < $p3
All those parameters you can change on the command line. There is a readme included and a manual page I also converted to html. Unpack the archive and have a look within /usr/local/doc/. If I get motivated, I'll write a little front-end gui and post it, but that would run counter to the entire purpose of the CLI, wouldn't it?
With kind regards,

Post subject: cli smtp email help request
Subject description: compiled from src, but does not work.
I tested out the cli smtp email package on puppy v2.14. I compiled it from source instead of using the provided binary. The src can be downloaded from [url]email.cleancode.org[/url]
Installed ..... with .....
./configure --with-utc
make install
Editted the general configuration file for "email" located at /usr/local/etc/email/email.conf . Added just enough information so the darn
* my name
* my email
* smtp server
* smtp port
* smtp login/password.
I attempted to send a test email from shell script.
strMsg="The Msg"
/usr/local/bin/email -s "${strMsg}" firstname.lastname@example.com "This message was generated by $0"
And got the following error:
email: FATAL: Could not connect to server: smtp1.mysmtpservername.net on port: 25: No route to host
Caught an ERROR, Shutting down...
No route to host?! No route to host?! But why not?! In the standard C library there is the method gethostbyname . When ./configure is run, it says gethostbyname is available. So why can't it figure out the host. Is there something i'm missing here. Does /etc/.host have to be edited somehow.
Is puppy missing something which is preventing "email" from working?
Any help would be most appreciated. I think this is a puppy issue and not a problem with the "email" software.
Kind Regards,

I don't remember what configure parameters I used during compilation, but my version works on Puppy 2.10. I just tested it again and got the following message:
Sending " This is my test..." |*******************************| 100% of 487 Bytes

Why don't you try my binary to see whether the "-with-utc" might be to blame. Also, try to run email -t, which performs a check on the email.conf config file.

Post subject: Foot in mouth
Subject description: This is embarrassing, but deserves an explanation
'email' works perfectly. The broadband provider is blocking port 25, so we are forced to go thru their smtp server (blame server-side spam blacklists). This is why there is "no route". I knew this, but it slipped my mind. When a script is 98% done and only one thing isn't working....i'm sure we have all been there.
Thank you for your reply and i'll try to wait at least a day before I cry out for help next time.
I changed the smtp port 25->26 and everything worked perfectly.
Next step is to enchance parsing arguments and switches. It's just not sexy enough...But this is a different topic.
Thanks for your help!!

Post subject: Thanks for your timely posting
I used a small CLI email program like this several years ago for sending jpeg images captured using "motion", a linux video surveillance application, to my external email account. Now that I'm doing similar stuff again with "motion" on puppy linux, it was actually on my mind that I needed to look for such a CLI email program again (but couldn't remember what I used back then). I was thus very pleased to see your forum post vovchik! Thanks greatly, you've saved me a lot of time!
Pity it doesn't use TLS though (so can't send to gmail). I have come across an alternative commandline email written in Perl; I'm hoping it will be able to work with gmail but haven't had time to test it yet. You'll find it at:
Yes, according to its website, SendEmail can use TLS and thus access gmail accounts.

Post subject: sendEmail seems to have perl-related problem on puppy
Downloaded sendEmail and moved the perl executable to /usr/locl/bin as required. Ran it, but got error message. Unfortunately, I don't know Perl, so don't know what it means. Pity, because I think sendEmail has all the facilities I want. Anyone, able to help here? According to what I've now read, the error message means that the perl module Errno needs to be installed. I've found it at CPAN but now I need ExtUtils:MakeMaker to do the installing, and I need to use make to install that! I don't have any of that on my system at the moment. I'll need to download devx_xxx.sfs and take it from there!
SUCCESS! I downloaded devx_xxx.sfs (in my case devx_217.sfs) via my dialup connection overnight and when I rebooted my machine in the morning I found to my surprise that sendEmail was working without my needing to do anything else. All the missing modules were in devx_217.sfs! Not everyone probably wants to have to download devx_217.sfs just to get a commandline email program working though, so I may try and install the modules that were originally missing separately. If I manage that I'll post the details and a dotpet of everything required. Without devx_217.sfs, the error messages were as follows:
# sendEmail

No problem, vovchik. As I've since indicated in my post above, I discovered independently, when switching on my machine this morning, that sendEmail was already working (I had downloaded devx_217.sfs overnight whilst I slept!). I didn't need to add any extra modules at all - the missing ones were all in devx_217.sfs. Now I want to get it going without needing to have devx_217.sfs loaded at all. As I say, I'll produce a dotpet of the missing bits if I find the time and manage to sort it out.
Though I'm sure that djones's CLI email program from http://email.cleancode.org/, which you describe in your first post on this thread, is excellent, and requires no devx_xxx.sfs to be loaded, I think I'll be using sendEmail instead because I really need TLS support so that I can use gmail. Great that there are so many options though!

Post subject: sendEmail works well
While email is not at all bad, it does, as you point out, lack TLS. I now tried sendEmail and discovered that I needed to install the following modules in order to get it to send via gmail:
Net_SSLeay.pm-1.30.tar.gz and
Both modules are available from CPAN. They install without problems, provided the SSL lib versions match (instructions are in the README). In my case, an older version of Net_SSLeay (1.25) didn't work, so I had to get the updated version above.
My sendEmail command line for gmail looks like this:
sendEmail -f firstname.lastname@example.com -t recipient@some_isp.com -u subject_line -xu email@example.com -xp gmail_password -s smtp.gmail.com:587 -o tls=yes -o message-file=anyfile.txt
Sep 09 12:50:42 localhost sendEmail[27414]: Email was sent successfully!
Good luck with the dotpup or dotpet.

Post subject:
you can install Perl-modules from comandline, at least if you have devx_2xx.sfs.
I don't know if it works without it.
So for Errno it might be:
perl -MCPAN -e 'install Errno'
This also should install dependencies.
If you get an error with the name "Errno", look for the correct name here:
I entered "Errno" there, and the first link confirmed, that this is the correct name.
However a dotpup would be good, as using mcpan installs quite some MB of stuff (6 MB or so if I remember well), just to satisfy the dependencies of the installer itself.
A dotpup/Pet can be made, by adding the files with the typical name from /usr/lib/perl5/
So files might be spread in several folders there.

Post subject: maybe tomorrow...
Thanks for all that, vovchik and MU. I have to sleep now, but may get back to this tomorrow if my partner doesn't kill me for spending too much time with puppy linux recently...
Today I was sidetracked because of a thread on video editing (something I'm very interested in) - http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=2425&start=15
I was recommending a very sophisticated non-linear video editing app called zs4 from www.zs4.net which is free for use, and for windows or linux. Since then I have downloaded it but, its a complex app, and I failed to get it to install on puppy out of the box. I suspect that will take some time so I'm hoping someone on that other thread will be tempted to take it on!
If they don't I'm sure I'll get back to that eventually, because I really need such an app and I don't want to rely on the windows version.

[using Puppy Linux 2.17.1 and devx_217.sfs loaded]
Well... I went to CPAN and the version I found of Net-SSLEAY.pm was slightly different:
Anyway, I decompressed it into a directory of its own (using Xarchive), had a quick read of the readme and ran, as that suggested:
./Makefile.PL -t
Apparently there were things missing because it asked:
Auto-install the 9 mandatory module(s) from CPAN? [y]
I just pressed enter and always accepted offered defaults.
At the end, the report said:
Warning: the following files are missing in your kit:
Please inform the author.

Warning: prerequisite examples/cert.pem 0 not found.

Writing Makefile for Net::SSLeay
Not knowing perl at all, I didn't have a clue, but forged ahead with:
That went on for ages, apparently downloading the missing stuff from the net.
Alas, it all ended with the following error, which in the circumstances of my huge knowledge-hole leaves me lost:
chmod 755 blib/arch/auto/Net/SSLeay/SSLeay.so
cp SSLeay.bs blib/arch/auto/Net/SSLeay/SSLeay.bs
chmod 644 blib/arch/auto/Net/SSLeay/SSLeay.bs

make: *** [manifypods] Error 22
So I can't even make TLS work like alone make a dotpet of the whole sendEmail+TLS requirements! I give up on the latter for sure, it seems to me that there are many dependencies that would need to be included and, having a head full of sawdust when it comes to perl, I am not the right person to do it. Though I've been working with UNIX, to some extent, for almost 30 years, and am happy with bash, awk and sed, I have always avoided perl like the plague; I just can't stand the look of it (!) and can't be bothered amending my ways in that regard... If only python had been "invented" first!...

Post subject: tried again afterall
I was more awake and determined, so tried again afterall...
[all the following done on Puppy 2.17.1 with devx_217.sfs loaded]
This time I tried using CPAN.pm [thanks MU for tip], entering:
perl -MCPAN -e shell
then at cpan> prompt I entered: i Net::SSLeay
[that verified the module was available at CPAN]
Then I entered at cpan> prompt:
install Net:SSLeay
and cpan.pm started doing its business downloading everything. Alas, it ended with a similar error message as when I tried doing it all more manually with: ./Makefile.PL -t
With cpan.pm the error was:
[Begin error message]
System call "/usr/bin/wget -O - "ftp://ftp.perl.org/pub/CPAN/authors/id/F/FL/FLORA/Net-SSLeay-1.32.tar.gz" > /root/.cpan/sources/authors/id/F/FL/FLORA/Net-SSLeay-1.32.tar"
returned status 1 (wstat 256)
Warning: expected file [/root/.cpan/sources/authors/id/F/FL/FLORA/Net-SSLeay-1.32.tar.gz] doesn't exist

Please check, if the URLs I found in your configuration file () are valid.
The urllist can be edited. E.g. with 'o conf urllist push ftp://myurl/'
Could not fetch authors/id/F/FL/FLORA/Net-SSLeay-1.32.tar.gz
Giving up on '/root/.cpan/sources/authors/id/F/FL/FLORA/Net-SSLeay-1.32.tar.gz'
[End error message]
Then I downloader the earlier 1.30.tar.gz of Net_SSLeay, and tried installing it with: ./Makefile.PL -t
but it gave the same kind of errors too.
I can't see that I'm doing anything wrong! What gives? If only I could get this bit working I'd be encouraged to keep going. Any thoughts?

Q. A cable tray system has been installed to support service entrance conductors. The service entrance conductors consist of six sets of three-conductor 500kcmil interlocked armored cables installed in parallel in a single layer in the tray. An additional feeder, consisting of three sets of parallel three-conductor 500kcmil interlocked armored cables, has been installed in a single layer in the same cable tray. The cable tray is wide open (i.e., no barriers or dividers). Is this installation NEC compliant?
- Yes, because all cables are interlocked armored cables.
- No, because conductors other than service entrance conductors are not permitted in the same cable tray with service entrance conductors, unless a solid fixed barrier of a material compatible with the cable tray is installed to separate the service entrance conductors from the other conductors.
- No, because interlocked armored cables are not permitted to be used as service entrance conductors.
- No, because cable trays cannot be used to support service entrance conductors.
Answer: B
In general, you're permitted to use cable trays to support service entrance conductors as long as other conductors are not placed in the same tray. The only time you're permitted to place other conductors in a cable tray with service entrance conductors is if you equip the cable tray with a fixed barrier of a material compatible with the cable tray and physically separate the service entrance conductors from the other conductors.

text: The troops were killed when their joint patrol was attacked near the village of Tongo Tongo, on the Mali-Niger border, on Oct. 4 by dozens of militants armed with machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades.The incident drew attention to the little-known U.S. military presence in Niger -- it has 800 troops stationed there -- and became a major publicity headache for President Donald Trump's administration.Security officials had identified the perpetrators as Islamist militants loyal to Adnan Abu Waleed al-Sahrawi, the leader of Islamic State in the Greater Sahara operating along Mali's border with Niger and Burkina Faso, but there had previously been no confirmation from al-Sahrawi himself."We claim the attack which targeted the American commandos in the village of Tongo Tongo," Sahrawi, who makes public statements only very rarely, was quoted by ANI as saying.Privately owned ANI sometimes enjoys privileged access to information on movements of Sahara-based Islamist fighters. Last year it broke news that Mali's main jihadist groups had merged, and in 2013 it had exclusive reports about a militant attack on a gas plant in Algeria in which 38 hostages were killed.In the statement Sahrawi also claimed a car bomb attack on French troops on Thursday near Mali's city of Menaka, ANI reported. He said it had "killed many of them", although the French military said in a statement that the attack had merely wounded three troops.Lawlessness across the Sahara has enabled jihadist groups to thrive and launch increasingly deadly attacks on local and Western targets there and in the semi-arid Sahel south of it. They are seen as the biggest threat to the region's stability.(This version of the story corrects name Adnan Abu Waleed al-Sahrawi, paragraph 4) (Reporting by Kissima Diagana; Writing by Tim Cocks; Editing by Hugh Lawson)

Communication has been one of the keys for early success for the Lady Bisons softball team.
Wednesday at 1 p.m. they are back home at Draper Diamond to face Eastern Kentucky from the Ohio Valley Conference. The Lady Bisons are 8-4. Eastern Kentucky is 4-5.
With six freshmen and one transfer starting Lady Bisons coach Kristin Peck wants to make sure everyone is on the same page.
"We like to have that communication," Peck said. "We know they are young. And we need to talk with the older ones. We know that this program is starting to go somewhere new and they are a huge part of that as much as the young ones are. We have to make sure everyone understands what we expect."
Because of their inexperience on the collegiate level, Peck expects the team to make mistakes. But the way those mistakes are addressed after the fact is one of the most important parts of the coaching message.
"We want them to learn from their mistakes and not beat themselves up," Peck said. "We don't want them to lose their confidence early. But at the same time we want them to know that we have high expectations for them and they should have high expectations for themselves.
"There is a lot of talking about maybe a player trying something in a certain situation that didn't work. Maybe they didn't make a bad decision, but maybe they tried to make an opportunity when there was not an opportunity to take."
The Lady Bisons have proven to be capable of beating good teams with a combination of solid pitching and hitting.
Lead-off hitter Lauren Dortwegt, a freshman center fielder, leads the Atlantic Sun in hitting with a .512 average. She is second in hits with 21.
Freshman infielder Kellie Sirus leads the conference in both home runs (5) and total bases (35).
Freshman pitcher Christen Campbell is fourth in the conference in pitching with a 1.51 earned run average. She leads the conference in innings pitched with 41.2.
The early success of the team, combined with the early production from so many freshman players, is evidence for Peck and her staff that the players are hearing the message and responding.
"We want them to understand why we are doing what we are doing and not to do it just because we say to do it," Peck said. "I think we are going get more production out of them that way. I think we are going to develop more trust with them.
"We are learning more about the players and they are learning more about us as coaches with each game. We are going to continue to grow as a program. This group of players has been awesome so far."

Court records show Jermaine Jackson is looking to alter his famous last name to something a little brighter.
The older brother of Michael Jackson filed a petition on Tuesday to change his last name to Jacksun for "artistic reasons".
Jackson's friend Steve Dennis says the singer isn't the first artist to change his name and says it's being done for the reasons stated in the court filing, but wouldn't elaborate.
Jackson has been touring with his brothers in recent months and promoting his book about their superstar sibling titled You Are Not Alone.
A hearing on Jackson's petition is scheduled for February 22 in Los Angeles.

If anyone loves to experiment with snazzy, quirky, offbeat dessert recipes, it's me. I've even got some sprigs of lavender sitting in the fridge waiting to be crushed up into an inventive cookie recipe at some point soon. But then there are times when you just wanna stick with a true classic. Like peanut butter cookies. How can you go wrong, you know? But a more important question: How can you go very, very right? What if you could bake up the ULTIMATE batch?
This recipe, adapted from the official cookbook out of the famed Magnolia Bakery in NYC, promises just that. Armed with the Sex & the City landmark's expertise, you'll be in for a real treat that's crisp on the outside and cakey and ooey-gooey with melty peanut butter chips and chocolate chips on the inside. Heeeeaven!
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies via SmittenKitchen.com and adapted from the Magnolia Bakery Cookbook
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup peanut butter at room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup peanut butter chips
1/2 cup chocolate chips
For sprinkling: 1 tablespoon sugar, regular or superfine
More from The Stir: Creamy, Dreamy Cake-Filled Peanut Butter Cups
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat butter and peanut butter together until fluffy. Add sugars and beat until smooth. Add egg and mix well. Add milk and vanilla extract. Add flour mixture and beat thoroughly. Stir in peanut butter and chocolate chips.
- Place sprinkling sugar — the remaining tablespoon — on a plate. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls into the sugar, then onto ungreased cookie sheets, leaving several inches between for expansion. Using a fork, lightly indent with a crisss-cross pattern, but do not overly flatten cookies.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Do not overbake. Cookies may appear to be underdone, but they are not.
- Cool the cookies on the sheets for 1 minute, then remove to a rack to cool completely.

What is the Worst Intersection in Laramie? – Survey of the Day
It's 5:30 p.m., you're driving home, and you happen to get caught at that same intersection... again. Being somewhere between a town and a city, Laramie is fortunate at times to not have substantially bad traffic, but there are certainly times to avoid particular areas of Laramie roads.
Of course, for some intersections, such as 30th and Grand where a massive reconstruction project is underway, there are few good times to drive in that direction, but in the opinion of some residents, there are certain intersections in Laramie that, whether they are under construction or not, are best to be avoided.
In an effort to compile the busiest intersections in town, we want to know what areas of Laramie roadways you think are best avoided. A while back we presented some of the spots that we felt were most accident prone, but we want to hear from you, so tell us what you think!
We want to reward you just for answering this poll! Enter your answer to this poll in the Laramie Rewards Programfor your chance to win some great prizes like gift certificates, DVDs, and this month a whole slew of prizes to to get you ready for summer!

Stanridge Speed Evo Track Bike – Cycle Project Store
Just like most cyclists out there, we here at Culture Cycles love our bike pr0n. So let's get back on a solid schedule of sharing beautiful bicycles starting off with this Laser-inspired, triple triangle track bike from Stanridge Speed.
Since moving to Shanghai and leaving all my non-fixed, freewheeling bikes in the states, I've really been embracing the simplicity of a track bike in a busy city. It sounds cliche, but whatever; track bikes will always have a special place in my heart and I hope to always have at least 1 in my quiver (I really miss my Gan Well Pro – it'd be tight to have that out here).
Anyway, big ups to Cycle Project Store on this build and to Stanridge Speed on making another beautiful track frame. Hopefully I can make it out to Singapore sometime during my stay here in China.
ps. thanks to Pedal Consumption for the tip.

"Iwata Asks" is a regular online feature in which Nintendo president Satoru Iwata interviews developers. Some of the game creators are in-house and some work for outside companies. All of their games appear on Nintendo hardware. None of them feature hardcore pornography.
Instead of "Iwata Asks", Osaka-based erotic PC game company SoftPal launched a "Shacho Hears", or "Company President Hears", website to promote its latest erotic game, Ryuusei: Kiseki -Shooting probe- (流星☆キセキ ‐Shooting probe-). Behind the interview is AKOU, the game's producer-director and the game's "sub director", who is a plush toy.
Like the typical Iwata Asks interview, the game creator lists his role and talks about the project's conception. Unlike Iwata Asks, there are questions about virgin love and how this game is different from other sex games.

Wine & Spirits(2005 Vintage) This large vineyard has build a following in the US market, with consistently good quality wine.

Thatrsquo;s how I used to enjoy Larose-Trintaudon, not so many years ago, when it cost $7.99. The only consolation in the current pricing is the fact that most California wines of this quality cost at least as much.

HOUSTON – Chris Sale struck out a season-high 14 batters and didn't allow an earned run against the Houston Astros on Friday night.
But instead of celebrating a win, a pair of errors by Alexei Ramirez left the White Sox with another road loss and left the pitcher to console his shortstop.
Erik Bedard pitched six solid innings, and Jose Altuve hit a go-ahead RBI single to give the Astros a 2-1 win.
Ramirez committed two errors in the fifth inning to help the Astros take the lead. The miscues ruined a great outing by Sale (5-5), who scattered five hits over eight innings in his first career complete-game loss.
Sale had retired 11 of 12 before Ronny Cedeno reached with no outs in the fifth on the first error by Ramirez.
Cedeno advanced to second on a wild pitch by Sale with two outs before Trevor Crowe drew a walk. The second error by Ramirez came when he badly overthrew second base on a force play, which allowed Brandon Barnes to reach, Crowe to move to third, and Cedeno to score.
Houston took a 2-1 lead when Altuve singled on a sharp grounder which scored Crowe.
Ramirez didn't speak to reporters after the game, but was visibly distraught when the group entered the clubhouse. He remained in his uniform sitting motionless at his locker with his head buried in his hands.
Sale called Ramirez "one of the best" after the game and said no one can be perfect all the time.
"I went over there and tapped him on the shoulder and said: 'Hey, you're still the best. Stuff happens. Derek Jeter makes errors. Things happen to great players sometimes,'" Sale said.
Sale was pitching on extra rest after he was scheduled to start against Toronto on Wednesday, which was postponed due to bad weather. He took a third straight loss despite coming just one strikeout shy of his career best of 15.
He joins Yu Darvish of the Rangers and Detroit's Anibal Sanchez as the only pitchers to have at least 14 strikeouts in a game this season.
Sox manager Robin Ventura was disappointed that his team wasn't able to help back up Sale's performance.
"It's obviously frustrating to lose when you get a pitching performance like that," Ventura said. "Chris threw great. They just had an inning where they scored a couple runs and never hit the ball out of the infield. It's a tough one as far as the way he pitched, and you want to get better."
The Sox, who entered the game having won three of four, continued to struggle on the road and have dropped 10 of 11 away from Chicago. They have been outscored 62-34 in that span.
"You don't want to hang your head," Sale said. "Obviously, it's disappointing, but at the end of the day, these guys are grinding it out and not giving anybody anything. I know everyone in here is fighting and grinding, and that's the main goal."
Jose Cisnero and Travis Blackley combined to pitch two scoreless innings before Jose Veras threw a scoreless ninth for his 12th save.
Paul Konerko doubled to start the fourth inning and advanced to third on a passed ball by Carlos Corporan. The White Sox took a 1-0 lead when Konerko scored on a sacrifice fly by Adam Dunn.
Casper Wells walked to start the fifth inning and got to third on a single by Ramirez with two outs. The Sox came up empty when Bedard struck out Alex Rios to end the inning.
Bedard got into trouble in the second when he loaded the bases on a single by Wells with two outs, but he escaped the jam by striking out Tyler Flowers.
Ventura lamented his team's inability to score more than one run in Friday's game.
"You want more out of it than that," he said. "We had opportunities, and we had chances with guys getting on base, but we just never got it done."
Before his tough fifth inning, Ramirez robbed Chris Carter of a hit when he made a leaping catch on a sharp liner to end the fourth.
NOTES: The Sox are scheduled to start left-handers in each of the four games of this series. It will be the first time Houston has faced four straight left-handers since September 2002 when they faced two from the Dodgers followed by two against Colorado, according to information provided by the Astros from the Elias Sports Bureau. ... The series will continue on Saturday when Houston's Lucas Harrell opposes John Danks. ... OF Alejandro De Aza was out of the lineup on Friday because of a stomach problem. Ventura said he was sent to a hospital in Houston to be checked out. "There's nothing major ... going on," Ventura said. "I don't know what it is. I just know he wouldn't be able to start tonight."... Houston OF Justin Maxwell, on the disabled list with a broken bone in his left hand, is on a rehabilitation assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City. Astros manager Bo Porter said there is no timetable for his return to the team. ... Houston signed four picks from this year's draft on Friday. They were fourth-round pick 1B Conrad Gregor, sixth-round pick C Jacob Nottingham, 21st-round selection OF Jon Kemmer, and 38th-round pick OF Ronnie Mitchell.

Man Arrested For Driving 146 MPH on the White Horse Pike
What's the posted speed limit on the White Horse Pike in Mullica Township? 55 MPH. How fast was this guy going? Almost three times that.
According to The Press of Atlantic City, two Mullica Township police officers were on duty early this morning and they clocked a 2012 Cadillac going 146 MPH near Darmstadt Avenue. Officers were able to get the license plate of the vehicle and, after breaking off a short chase, they were able to track the car down later.
Police say the driver has been identified as Robert F. Gibase. Gibase formerly lived in Hammonton but now lives in Louisiana.
