21A: Some western resorts: DUDE RANCHES
49A: Longtime New Year's Eve conductor: GUY LOMBARDO
3D: Second-story man: CAT BURGLAR
29D: Society: FELLOWSHIP
MATE in Australia, BLOKE/CHAP in the UK.
I've never heard of GUY LOMBARDO, nor am I familiar with DUDE RANCHES or CAT BURGLAR. But they are all gettable from the crosses. I am surprised to see Norman Steinberg's name on today's puzzle though, she is our Wednesday girl. This puzzle does have an easy Wednesday feel, doesn't it? I expect many of you will ace this one.
Not much to gripe about, except 32A: A & M student: AGGIE. It's not an accurate clue. Needs to add "Texas", as there is also a Florida A & M (Rattlers). FYI, AGGIE is also a variant spelling of AGATE (the "Playing marble"). (Update: I was wrong, please read Dr. Dad's opinion on Comments section).
I don't find this puzzle to possess any ELAN (14A: Panache). It's pretty dry and flat, with all those repeat offenders.
5A: Misbehave: ACT UP
10A: Dorothy's dog: TOTO. Does TOTO have a star in Hollywood Walk of Fame? Look at this TITO (41D: Musician Puente) Star.
15A: Capital of Idaho: BOISE. I was the same as Bill, always thought that "I da ho" was only a type of potato.
18A: ___ of magnitude: ORDER. I would not have got it without down clues. I only knew the Chinese word 數量級. Can you read these 3 Chinese characters? Or are they just 3 square boxes to you?
19A: Part of a lot sometimes: ACRE. And 10D: Parcels of land: TRACTS
23A: Transmission cells: NEURONS
26A: McNally's partner: RAND. Foreign to me. Only knew Ayn RAND.
27A: Summons: SENDS FOR
34A: Chemist Pauling: LINUS. No idea. Wow, he got 2 Nobel prize (Chemistry in 1954 & Nobel Peace in 1962). Wikiepedia says he is "a member of a small group of individuals who have been awarded more than one Nobel Prize, one of only two people to receive them in different fields (the other was Marie Curie), and the only person in that group to have been awarded each of his prizes without having to share it with another recipient". I only knew this LINUS.
37A: Ricochet: CAROM. Billiards bounce.
45A: Traded without money: BARTERED
46A: Escaped: GOT AWAY. I don't know much about crossword construction, but I dislike when GOT and GETS (49D: Catches on to) appear in the same grid. I was also bothered by the appearance of both SLEEP & SLEPT on Tuesday Barry Silk's CLASS puzzle.
45A: Lyricist Gershwin: IRA. Yawner, yawner. When are you going to clue it as "Grp from Belfast"?
56A: Els or Kovacs: ERNIE. ERNIE Els has hopped onto the Butch Harmon's bandwagon. Not a good time for David Leadbetter right now, unless Michelle Wie pulls off a win at US Open next week. I wonder why our editor never Cubs' great ERNIE Banks, given that TMS puzzle primarily serves the Chicago area.
6D: Quantities of wood: CORDS. I was not familiar with this "wood stacks" meaning of CORDS.
9D: Every year: PER ANNUM. Could not jam in PERENNIAL.
24D: Fence piece: RAIL. My first response was EPEE (Fencing piece).
32D: Peck in "Moby Dick": AHAB. Have never watched "Moby Dick".
33D: Festive: GALA. Have some GALA apples.
34D: After midnight, say: LATE. Here is Simon & Garfunkel's "LATE in the Evening". I am now listening to Michael Learns to Rock's "That's Why You Go Away". I also love their "25 Minutes LATE": "Boy I've missed your kisses all the time, but this is 25 minutes too LATE...".
It's such a boring puzzle today, let's discuss a little bit about music. What have you been listening to lately? Who are your favorite singers? Please share with us.
37D: Chewy candies: CARAMELS
38D: Caesar's TV sidekick: COCA (Imogene)
44D: Gnawing animal: RODENT. How can you get rid of those squirrels? They love to RUIN (16A: Destroy) our vegetable garden.
46D: Pam or Rosey: GRIER. I did not know Pam GRIER. She was in "Jackie Brown". Rosey GRIER was one of RFK's bodyguards. Wikipedia says he was a member of the original "Fearsome Foursome" of the 1957 NY Giants & also a member of the "Fearsome Foursome "of the 1963 LA RAMS (31D: St. Louis football team), very interesting!
51D: Eli's alma mater: YALE. I think we've had enough YALE graduate presidents, almost 20 years, way too long.
52D: Newscaster Hume: BRIT. Anchor of Fox News' "Special Report with BRIT Hume". He is a very very avid crossword solver.
57D: New Deal agcy.: WPA (Work Projects Administration).
Alright, the last one, 40D: Deli offering: HERO. "There is a HERO if you look inside your heart..." Enjoy!

by Amy Oren of Blowout Party
My son just turned three years old and we cut his hair for the first time! To celebrate his birthday and upsherin we threw him a birthday party featuring some of his favorite things: trains, the Aleph Bet, and the color green! He was so excited to see all the décor! I wanted the kosher dessert table to be very bright and have a storybook feel, so I set it up in three tiers and had a train full of candy going up a hill. The train was made of cardboard boxes covered in scrapbook paper that I got from Amazing Savings! The cute Aleph Bet characters waved from the train car windows.
At the kids table, each child got a bandanna (which served as a placemat), a train whistle, a conductor's hat, and a suitcase lunchbox personalized with plastic suitcase tags. On the table were adorable hard cover train shaped books- each family received one (also from Amazing Savings).
Besides for the food set up at the buffet table, the kids got some yummy and fun food in their suitcase lunchboxes: sandwiches in the shape of a train (cut with a cookie cutter), cheese, tomatoes, and olives on Aleph Bet picks that I made, and an apple juice box drink wrapped with a personalized wrapper.
I made some fondant covered Aleph- Bet decorated cookies that I scattered around the train cars. The faces were drawn with edible markers. I made a fondant covered train cake with bunting that said happy birthday.
For fun candy trees, I skewered sour belts onto toothpicks and stuck them into Styrofoam balls. I added the flower lollipops for you know, a little more sugar
The kids loaded their suitcases with candy! They also painted wooden trains that we glued onto their lunchbox suitcases, and they decorated the boxes with foam letters and shapes.
I'll soon be posting on my blog free printables that you can download and print for yourself, like the juice box wrappers, the luggage tags, the book nametags…
Hope you enjoyed these pictures and that you're inspired for your own children's birthday parties!

Vanguard sets reunion show in Cape Coral
After a 10-year hiatus, the local band Vanguard is getting back together for a reunion show in Cape Coral on Friday, Dec. 27.
"I thought it would be good to do a few gigs here and there and remember the good times we had," said Vanguard's Jason Jackman. "We all knew each other playing in different bands for a total of 15 years. We had a practice session last week and it was like riding a bike. We just picked up the pieces and didn't lose anything."
Jackman said he and his band members will see how things go during and up to the reunion performance (8:30 p.m.) at Rack'em Billiards on Southeast 47th Terrace before deciding if they will do any other performances.
"We talked at the practice session about possibly doing a recording and possibly get together two or three times a year," said Jackman. "We all have families now and other responsibilities so it's hard to get everyone together."
Vanguard played gigs all over Fort Myers, Cape Coral and elsewhere for five years. They played frequently at a pool hall on Pine Island, Jackman said, and the Fort Myers Skate Park, and Orbitz, and many outdoor events in downtown Cape Coral.
"We had a good following in the Cape," said Jackman.
Jackman's group started as a punk rock band "with a positive message" and evolved to more of a rock band and eventually settled on just being a rock band. It also has its own Facebook page now for anyone wanting to know more.
"We wanted to reach out to more people so we focused on solely being a rock band," said Jackman.
Bass player and lead vocalist Jackman, 33, lead guitarist Brandon Daugherty, 33, and drummer Erick Charles, 33, all attended Bishop Verot High School together and played in other bands before getting together with guitarist and lead vocalist Robinson Moore, 39, who went to Fort Myers High School and the University of Florida.
"The three of us went to Gainesville to meet up with Robinson to form Vanguard," said Jackman, a Cape Coral resident.
Along with the local performances, the band joined the multi-stage national Vans Warped Tour which they did for three summers.
"We were the small fish on that tour," said Jackman, "but we got a big following. It was a hard tour to do because of all the travel. It can wear a lot of bands down."
Still, there are no regrets, but after five years together the band made a mutual decision to call it quits 10 years ago.
"It was just time to decide if we were going for more and leave our family and friends behind or call it a day and go do other things," said Jackman. "Just playing five years together with them was a major accomplishment."
Jackman, Dogherty and Charles all set off to college and went their separate ways in life.
"We'd like to see everyone out there at the reunion show, along with all of our old friends and families," said Jackman.

Today PPKI celebrate our annual Pre-Graduation & Birthday Celebration for our special kids. I sat next to my new boy and his mother. My new boy H is a brilliant boy and normal. He is not suitable to be in PPKI. The problem with him is he didn't want to go to school for 6 months. The problem started from mental bully from former friends. Calling names and everything. I was so pissed of when the doctor who diagnosed him, put him in ADD category. I was like WHAT? WHY? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? He got the OKU card then there he is in my class. I am his class teacher and I'm so pissed off when I think that the mother simply put him in PPKI just for the sake of him to go to school. Mengikut sangat anak xnak pergi sekolah..
Here I am today sitting next to her. Being professional I asked her politely to put his son in Inclusive class next year as he is a bright boy. He is a shy and cute boy. Just smile and nodded when the mother ask with one condition that he can continue all the theraphy that he wants in PPKI. We agree. Then the conversation move to other subject until the mother finally reveal that the father is bedridden patient. Every weekend they will travel back to kampung to visit the father because no one to take care of his father here in PJ as the mother had to work.
The mother thought that is one of the reason why H don't want to go to school. The saddest part is everytime when the mother cried thinking about the father, he will be the one to calm her. When the mother asked why he never cried? He said that "Xpe..ibu nangis. H nangis dalam hati." ALLAHUAKBAR and I broke into tears.. hell with professionalism.. I'm human. My 7 years old boy menggalas beban sebesar itu. Ya Allah..kau permudahkan kehidupannya. Cerahkan masa depan anak ni. Husnuzzon. Allah lebih tau. DIA xkan uji kalo tau hambanya x mampu.
The mother admit that she just want her son to go to school. And I know deep down inside that my boy H is breaking. A sick father, a sorrow mother. A 7 years old boy. And now in new environment he is trying to pick up the pieces that is broken. Re-gain his confidence in social life. I still broke in tears while typing this. I can see his face inside my eyes. Lesson learned. Don't simply judge someone. Please stop judging other people if u just know the surface. To H..cikgu mintak maaf for my pre-judgement. Thinking that you are simply an only son that had been spoiled. Sampai akhir hayat cikgu doakan di permudahkan kehidupan awak untuk berbakti kepada ibu & ayah awak. Semoga Allah sentiasa beri kekuatan & kesabaran untuk awak tempuhi hidup selagi hayat di kandung badan. Amiinn..

UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar survived a first-round battering and ultimately lasted five rounds to fight Gray Maynard to a draw at Saturday's UFC 125 event.
But did Edgar's stellar conditioning really prevent him from being knocked out?
MMAjunkie.com medical columnist Dr. Johnny Benjamin discusses the popular misconception in his last "Ask the Fight Doc" installment. He also explains if the fight should have been stopped in that pivotal first round.
Hey Doc – A lot of people are saying that Frankie Edgar's excellent cardio kept him from being put away in the first round at UFC 125. Is there any truth to the myth that the better your cardio is the less susceptible you are to getting knocked out? – JP from Tampa
JP, that's an interesting question.
I had no idea that it was a common belief that increased cardiovascular fitness can lead to an increased ability to withstand a concussion.
Before I dive in, let's review a few important points:
- A person can suffer a concussion without losing consciousness (KO).
- All knockouts, by definition, are concussions.
- Concussions are injuries to the brain and appear to be cumulative in nature.
- Even blows that do not cause obvious concussions (sub-concussive blows) appear to add up and create damage (often permanent) to the brain over time. This is called Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE).
OK, OK, I'll stop now. But I hope that you get the point.
Our understanding of the physiology of concussions is far from complete. In fact, we are merely scratching the surface. But there is no significant medical literature that supports or suggests that the ability of a person's brain to withstand a concussion is directly related to his or her cardiovascular fitness.
My observations and perspectives regarding the first round of UFC 125 and Edgar vs. Maynard are as follows (and probably will annoy and/or anger more than a few fans):
- Edgar suffered a significant concussion in the first round, which was evidenced by his loss of balance, loss of coordination and lack of memory of the events (amnesia) as discussed in his post-fight interview.
- Edgar was able to continue not because of his cardio or his ability to think clearly but because of his supremely conditioned instincts. "Fight or flight" does not require thinking (higher cortical function); it is an instinct (subconscious). Think of the many examples of fighters who ate a big shot, are obviously "out of it" (concussed), and grab the referee's leg and continue to fight on for quite some time even after the fight has been called.
- The fight continued in the first round because Maynard punched himself out and could not finish Edgar and – possibly far more importantly – the ref allowed it to.
Now for the most important question: From a medical perspective (fighter safety) and not a spectator's perspective, should the fight have been halted in round one?
Let no one say that I am afraid to enter the fray or am attempting to seek favor.
Due to significant concussion, the fight should have been stopped in round one, and by not doing so, Edgar was allowed to potentially suffer further injury to his concussed brain and thus exposing him to potential catastrophic consequences (second-impact syndrome).
I know it's not popular, but there it is.
Happy New Year. And once again, keep all references to my mother out your mouth!

The interceptor mkII was built in spring 2001. It featured many new things and was far better than the audi or its predecessor. Here's some details:
The engine: It's basically a V version of the 4 cylinder engine, as seen in the Building plans section. And by saying that, i mean, that i have taken two R4 engines and have planted them in the same casing. The rest was just a thing of adjustment. It's a very powerfull engine. Aldough it has never exceeded 160 rpm's, it was capable of moving the 5-6 kilogram interceptor with ease (while the car moved, the engine run @ 80rpm's). Since i consider it too complicated and too inefficiant in this stage of development, there will be no building instructions for it.
The transmission: I've decided to build a transaxle transmission (can be seen in the Chevy Corvette, Porsche 928 and some other sports cars), to reduce weight on the front axis and to prevent the transmission shaft to be to big in the wrong place. It's a modified Supercar MkII transmission, with a new shifting mechanism. For details see pics.
The body: The goal was to make it stiffer and lighter than the audi frame. The stiffnes was accomplished successfully. But aldough i tried to leave out all nonessential parts, i was not very successfull in reducing the car's weight. Maby it's because the car has grown in size and complexity.
Front suspension: I have chosen to build a MacPherson front suspension as it is used in most of today's cars. It has some very distinctive advantages to the double wishbone suspension used in all Lego supercars. One of them is the absence of the upper suspension arm, and with it the need for a corresponding arm mount. Also, it allows you to play with the steering angle. As you can see in the pics, the suspension arm is tilted slightly bakwards, and inwards. The steering axle being tilted bakward makes the wheels automatically adjust to drive straight ahead. While driving, you expirience it, when the steering wheel rotates back into the center position, when you exit a curve. The inward tilting is there to ensure maximum tire grip while driving corners. When the car rolls in corners, the angle between the wheel and the surface changes and the steering axle being tilted inward corrects that problem. Build such a suspension, and you'll see what i mean.
The rear suspension is just a simple 4 link suspension, as seen in the Lego Silverchampion or Williams F1.

- This extension can be enabled or disabled using Wiki Features.
Achievements are a great way to encourage contributions, award individuals and promote community growth on your wikia.
Step by step
How to get achievements
If your community decides they would like achievements, any administrator or bureaucrat can turn on the feature at Special:WikiFeatures.
Individuals can earn special badges by simply participating on any wikia that has Achievements enabled. Badges are awarded automatically as a user completes the tasks associated with them. Available and achieved badges are listed on one's user page. These points are not retroactive, but start counting once you have achievements on your wikia.
Customizing badges
Administrators can customize the names and pictures of the achievement badges to match your community's topic on a page titled Special:AchievementsCustomize
- Each badge will be listed here, with a default image and name.
- You can upload any JPG or PNG picture, and your picture will automatically be fitted inside the frame. The framing works best when your picture is square, and when the most important part of the picture is right in the middle. You can use rectangular pictures, but you might find that a bit gets cropped out by the frame.
- Badges can be re-named to reflect the topic of your wikia. This is done in the space provided next to the badge.
- Badges are part of one of four classes, each with a specific point count. Bronze badges are worth 10 points, silver badges are worth 50 points, and gold badges are worth 100 points. When you get one of these badges, you get the corresponding points. Platinum badges are worth 250 points, but there is only one badge that uses them.
- When you have changed badge names, click "Save changes" to save your changes.
- If you no longer like the picture that you have chosen, just click "Revert to default" to go back to the original graphic.
Creating a new edit track
Administrators can create new achievement badges via Special:AchievementsCustomize, tracking edits to pages in specific categories. It can be used to encourage certain kinds of contributions on your wikia, such edits to pages about characters.
- To create a new track, view the "Create a new Edit track" section on the right column. The original Edit track will still exist; this will just create a separate track that you can customize.
- When the track is created, the new badges will appear in the list on the left, under the regular Edit track. Customize the names and images for the new track, so that users can see the difference!
- Once you have finished customizing it, click the "enabled" checkbox to turn on the new track, and then click "Save changes". Users will soon start earning badges when they edit pages in that category.
- You can disable the track later, if you decide you do not want to highlight that category anymore. Simply uncheck the box above the custom track entitled "enabled" and save. Badges will no longer be awarded, though users who have already earned badges in that track will always keep those badges.
To showcase all the achievements and top badge winners, each wikia has a leaderboard which can be found on a special page named Special:Leaderboard.
- The leaderboard ranks the top users (at most 19) by the number of points they have from badges.
- The ranking is refreshed each day.
Achievements are enabled on a per-wikia basis. If you do not wish to display your earned badges, you can hide them from your user page. To do so, visit your preferences, view the "Under the Hood" tab and check the box for "Hide my achievements on my profile from everybody".
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- I made 8,000 edits before we added Achievements. Can I start out with bonus points?
- No; the record starts when the feature is turned on! As an experienced editor, it shouldn't take you long to dominate the leaderboard.
- Why do multiple users have the 'Lucky' badge?
- This badge is awarded each time 1000 edits are made - one user will receive it for the 1000th edit, another for the 2000th edit, and so on.
- Why did I miss a day on the "contributing to the wikia every day" achievement?
- The tracking for this achievement is based off server time, which is in the UTC timezone. For example, if you make an edit at 2pm in the PST timezone (UTC-8) one day then another at 6pm the next day, in UTC this will be counted as 10pm on day one and 2am on day three. We recommend keeping an eye on time in UTC if you are dedicated towards this achievement.
- One of the editors on my wikia is making bad edits and doesn't deserve to earn a badge for them. Can I take their badges away?
- Once a badge is awarded, it can't be taken away. If someone is making silly edits just to get badges, then you can leave them a message on their talk page about it. As always, it's best to assume good faith - they may not realize that they're doing anything wrong. Talking to them usually helps! If someone is vandalizing the wikia and fails to respond to messages, then blocking them from the wikia is an option.
- What happens to the badges of a blocked user?
- Users who have been blocked from editing will have their badges removed and will vanish from the leaderboard (if they have been on there). Once the user is unblocked, their total badge and point count will be returned. If they are still eligible for the leaderboard, they will return there as well.
- If the Achievement Badges are turned off and back on, will that reset the badges each person has earned?
- No. Disabling achievements won't reset anything. You can turn them off and then back on and everything will still be there.
- My badges keep getting cropped!
- The achievements tools automatically crops images, but you may want to take more control of this process. Specific ideal sizes for each badge image are:
- 78x78px for bronze badges, 100x100px for silver badges, 95x95px for gold badges

;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
I used the terminal command lsusb to learn that the lspci for my N13 USB device is 0b05:17ab. Output was:
Code: Select all
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0b05:17ab ASUSTek Computer, Inc.
My main problem: unsure if driver is installed properly
I am not certain what the correct driver source / installation technique for this chipset is. Can anyone help me with this knowledge?
Earlier in my trial/error, I followed this advice on the Ubuntu knowledge base. Did I make a mistake following this advice, since it is for a device with a different chipset? If so, please let me know how to undo this change.
Driver doesn't support my Kernel version?
I am lead to believe that this is the appropriate driver for the 0b05:17ab device. However, the version 3.4.4_4749 driver listed on that page only lists support for "Linux Kernel 2.6.18~2.6.38 and Kernel 3.0.8". Could this be the problem? My Mint 13 installation uses Linux Kernel 3.2.0-23-generic.
Linux only detects wireless occasionally
At first, it seemed that Linux was not recognising the USB device as a wireless network adaptor at all. Then I followed this solution and rebooted my computer. Coincidentally or not, this time the blue light appeared on my USB device, and Linux Mint listed 'Wireless' as an option in my 'Network Settings' window. It even detected the household wi-fi network which I was hoping to connect to!
Unfortunately, despite me definitely entering the correct username and password (and mirroring the network settings from the Ubuntu 11.04 machine which I am writing this forum post via), I was not able to connect to this network.
Since then, I have shut down/restarted my Mint 13 machine about12 times, and the blue light has only appeared on my USB wireless adaptor on 3 of those boots.
Thanks in advance for your help.
n.b. to solution-givers: I can't get any network connectivity through the affected Mint 13 computer to access updates from the repositories (wireless is my only internet option in this house...). However, I can use USBs to copy and paste files/Terminal commands onto the PC.

It is only the 20th of July as I write this introduction. I have recently signed up for the Council for British Archaeology 'Day of Archaeology' and I have not got long to organise things. The big question I had was 'what to do'? As there are umpteen things on my list of things to do, I could have chosen any one of them to promote on the day itself. Did I want to excavate? No, not really. The time and effort, not least the organising, involved in that would have been to much at such short notice. But, I do not like to have things to easy, achievable yes, easy no. So this is what I have started to organise for the day itself.
The Welsh Cistercian abbey of Llantarnam was founded in or around 1179 and it lasted until the dissolution. It is thought that none of the original building survives and like so many other abbeys that share that distinction, it has not really been investigated with a keen eye, until now. Within its outer precinct (although that is a subject of debate) it possesses the remains of some remarkable water management systems that the Cistercian monks are renowned for. The hydraulic systems extended far and wide beyond the outer precinct but, as they enter the grounds of the abbey, the management of water becomes almost microscopic. It is two of these features that I would like to investigate for The Day of Archaeology.
There are, of course, many leats feeding the whole system: Existing features include two dams with a drainage system attached to one of them, weirs that contain evidence for sluice gates, the remains of a medieval bridge that not only has evidence for sluice gates, one of them is till intact and working. There is a fishpond weir, possible wharf, a culvert built over one of the mill tail races and a sluice gate built into the same. It is, quite literally, jam packed with archaeological features although it has to be noted that the largest construction project appears to be the canalisation of the Dowlais Brook.
It is the possible wharf and drainage system attached to the dam that I am going to concentrate on though. And it has taken some arranging. Amazingly,the weather hasn't seen the need to rain heavily for some time now in South East Wales and this presents me with a problem. If I want to trace a drainage system from a medieval dam to its outlet how do I attempt that without any water? I had two options, I could either ask the fire brigade to flood the system with water, or ask somebody who specialises in drains (that they would use to flush out blocked drains during their course of work)
and carries a supply of water with them to do the same. I asked both and recieved a positive reply from the latter.
The next problem I thought of, as I was probably going to be on my own for the day, was how to record the drain trace? As I study at the University of Wales Newport, Caerleon Campus I thought I would ask for a favour to be returned from some of their film students. Hopefully they will be there to record the experiment, if not I will have to record it with photographs. Either way it should not be a problem.
The outlet is interesting. After heavy rain it appears to be in good working order – or is it?
It should be interesting to see how all of this turns out. The drain outlet shown above is quite a way from the dam outlet and it feeds the Dowlais Brook.
The other feature I am hoping to investigate is a possible wharf. The canalisation the Dowlais makes navigation easier and if that is so whoever utilised it would have needed an area to berth their cargo.
So people, here goes. Lets see if all of this turns out ok.
Good luck to all of you with whatever you do for The Day of Archaeology.

Porter pushes Bedard's next start back a day
DETROIT -- Manager Bo Porter said Erik Bedard, who returned to the rotation after a brief stint in the bullpen with five innings of two-run ball against Texas on Saturday, will have his next start pushed back a day.
It's not performance-based as much as it is Porter wanting to capitalize on an opportunity to split his lefties up going forward, and the off-day on Thursday presents that.
The other left-handed starter, Dallas Keuchel, will pitch Wednesday's series finale in Detroit. Jordan Lyles will remain in the rotation, moving up a day to throw the series opener on Friday in Pittsburgh. Bedard will then take the hill Saturday, with Bud Norris hopefully feeling healthy enough to finish off the three-game set.
The series will mark the Astros' first in a National League ballpark since switching over from the NL Central to the American League West this season. It also provides a unique situation where the pitchers have to bat, which could factor into Norris' availability.

Coffee, 50 Years in the Making
We've learned a lot in 50 years. From tasting coffee three times before the beans even arrive at our roastery, to waking up at 4am to deep-roast each bean by hand, to personally testing every order before it ships —everything we do is committed to bringing you the freshest, fullest flavor in every cup.

Compensations and declarations
Have you incurred costs for your work? Below you will find information about the compensation of commuting and relocation expenses, and submitting your expense claims.
Commuting allowance
University employees are entitled to an allowance for the cost of travelling to work. When you commence employment, your commuting allowance is automatically calculated from the number of kilometres that you travel to work.
Business travel
If you travel on University business, you are entitled to a travel and subsistence allowance. If you book an overseas trip through Uniglobe, the University is billed directly, which means you do not need to pay in advance.
Relocation expenses
If you relocate for your work or if the University requires you to move, you may qualify for a relocation allowance or bonus.
Other allowances
Alongside allowances for business travel, commuting and relocation, there are also a number of smaller allowances for which you may qualify. Find out more about the meal allowance, emergency response team allowance and computer glasses allowance.
Expense claims
If you have incurred costs for your work, you may be entitled to reimbursement. Submit your expense claims through SAP Self Service, not forgetting to include a receipt.
