Officials say a contractor is dead after an accident Wednesday morning at the Harrison Power Station in Haywood.
Prentice Cline, area director for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration in Charleston, confirmed the death and said his agency was investigating.
The coal-fired power plant is owned by Ohio-based FirstEnergy. FirstEnergy spokeswoman Jennifer Young said the victim was a man employed with Burnham Industrial Contractors Inc.
A woman who answered the phone at the company's Pittsburgh headquarters declined comment.
Young said FirstEnergy could not release the victim's age or hometown but extends its sympathy to his family.
FirstEnergy works hard to maintain safe operations at all its plants and will investigate the accident fully, she said.
Young could not immediately describe the circumstances of the accident or the work that Burnham was performing.
Another worker died at the plant less than two years ago, in September 2011. Veteran employee Ned Johnson, 63, of Rivesville, was pinned between a machine and a wall.
The Harrison Power Station currently employs more than 200 people.

Newburyport Daily News
---- — NEWBURYPORT — Many patrons of cultural activities believe in "art for art's sake," but it doesn't hurt to have some money thrown in to enable nonprofit organizations to perform more effectively.
State and local officials recently gathered to mark the distribution of more than $20,000 in new state grants to schools and nonprofit organizations in Amesbury, Newburyport and Salisbury.
State officials said the $20,000-plus in disbursements is in addition to the previously announced $7,000 Cultural Facilities Fund grant that was earmarked for Newburyport's Firehouse Center for the Arts.
State Rep. Mike Costello, D-Newburyport, who visited several cultural venues last week, said in a statement, "These cultural institutions (receiving funds) are an essential part of what makes Newburyport a great place to live and to visit.
"With the help of the Massachusetts Cultural Council, we look forward to expanding these cultural opportunities in the future with the proposed new cultural district in downtown Newburyport."
City officials here are currently planning to designate a Cultural District running from Federal Street to Winter Street.
The state Cultural Council awarded grants to the Amesbury Cultural Council ($4,470), the Newburyport Cultural Council ($3,870) and the Salisbury Cultural Council ($3,870).
Other recipients were On Stage, Inc., $3,000; Newburyport Literary Festival, $2,500; and the Firehouse Center, $2,500.
The MCC is a state agency supporting the arts, humanities and sciences to improve the quality of life in Massachusetts. It is funded primarily by the state and through grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, Bank of America and others. It focuses on advocacy for nonprofit cultural organizations, schools, communities and artists.

You always knew your kids were works of art. Now you can prove it by making pillow figures based on the shapes of their bodies. Just follow these simple steps.
You will need:
• Fabric of your choice
• Nontoxic finger paint
• Sewing machine
• Thread
• Pillow batting
Step by step:
1 Choose a fabric that's a few inches longer than your child is tall. Have your child lie on the fabric on his back, and trace his outline.
2 Place his palms and the soles of his feet in nontoxic finger paint.
3 Gently press his handprints and footprints onto the portion of the outline where hands and feet go on the body.
4 After imprinting his hands and feet, your child can finger-paint a face and other decorations – if he's old enough or wants to.
5 Leaving a half-inch seam allowance, cut around the outline. Using the first cutout as a pattern, cut another piece of fabric to match.
6 Place front sides together and sew around the edge. Don't sew it completely shut; leave about an 8-inch opening.
7 Turn it inside out so that the front sides are now front-facing.
8 Stuff your pillow with polyester batting, and hand-stitch the remaining opening.

The Meadville Tribune
Pubs and taverns, college caterers and chefs who cook for seniors will go stove to stove at the Fourth Annual Chili, Chowder & Soup Cook-Off this Thursday evening.
At least 19 area restaurants and dining services seek to compete for the title of "Best" in the aforementioned culinary realms, including last year's award-winners: Venango Valley Inn for Black Bean Chili, Rolling Fields for Best Chowder and Edinboro University's Highlands Catering for Best Soup.
Pairs of college catering companies, country clubs, senior homes and other eateries could spice up the competition, according to Kathleen Bishop, president of the Crawford County Chamber of Commerce, event sponsor. "For the first time, we'll have one restaurant with two chefs competing against each other," she said, referring to returning champion Montana's Rib & Chop House, voted People's Choice in 2012.
This year also marks the first-time entry of local brewpub, Timber Creek Tap & Table.
Three local judges are expected to determine the best of each category while attendees can vote for the People's Choice.
"The winners get a trophy and bragging rights," said Bishop. "It's interesting going to the restaurants afterward and seeing their awards on display or mentioned on their menu."
In addition to tantalizing taste buds, the Cook-Off is expected to turn out a considerable crowd.
"It's a lot of fun; we can expect 325 people that we know of," said Bishop. "We could certainly have people walk in that evening (and) purchase tickets at the door."
The Cook-Off usually turns out 300 or so taste-testers annually, treating them not only to community cuisine, but also live music by local band Necessary Experience as well as the chance to enter a silent auction with more than 30 items.
A portion of proceeds benefit Leadership Meadville, a Chamber of Commerce program designed to train the area's current and future business leaders.
Funds raised have ranged between $8,000 and $10,000 in previous years, according to Bishop.
"That's our goal this year," she said. "The Chamber of Commerce is a nonprofit organization. The Leadership program offers scholarships for a nine-month class through the funds."
The next Leadership class begins in August 2013 and will accept about 20 area adults interested in learning about leadership styles, theories and practices. Every session has covered a different business sector, including health care, public works and education.
The Cook-Off runs from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Elk's Lodge No. 219, 15438 Route 86.
Tickets are available for $10 in advance at the Chamber office or $12 at the door.
n More information: Contact the Chamber of Commerce, 908 Diamond Park, Meadville at (814) 337-8030.
Konstantine Fekos can be reached at 724-6370 or by email at email@example.com.
And the competitors are ...
Competitors in the Fourth Annual Chili, Chowder & Soup Cook-Off include Chestnut Street Bar & Grill, Chipper's Pub, The Country Club, Downtown Mall Bistro, Highlands Catering at Edinboro University, Hotel Conneaut and the Beach Club, Market House Grille, Mickey's Central Fire Station, Montana's Rib & Chop House, Parkhurst Dining Services at Allegheny College, Roff School Tavern, Saegertown American Legion Post 205, Timber Creek Tap & Table, Vacavi Cafe, Venango Valley Inn, Veronica's Cafe and Wesbury United Methodist Community.
Desserts will be provided by Dove Chocolate Discoveries, Wanda's Cakes n' More and Veronica's Cafe.

The embattled Oakhurst bar closed earlier this week by a judge's order likely will be back in business as early as tonight.
A consent order reached between Cambria County District Attorney Kelly Callihan and David Weaver, the attorney representing Edward Gawel, owner of Edder's Den, was approved by Judge Timothy Creany just minutes ago.
The agreement calls for the sheriff to turn the keys to the Sheridan Street bar over to the owner today with the understanding that he will implement a number of changes in a timely fashion:
A partial list follows:
*Install electronic equipment and require all patrons entering the bar to swipe identification.
*Move closing time from the current 2 a.m. to 1 a.m.
*Install video surveillance cameras to monitor a parking lot adjacent to the bar.
*Gawel or his representative will conduct hourly inspections of the outside of the bar.

United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space
The United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS) was established in 1959 (shortly after the launch of Sputnik) as an ad hoc committee. In 1959, it was formally established by United Nations resolution 1472 (XIV).
The mission of COPUOS is "to review the scope of international cooperation in peaceful uses of outer space, to devise programmes in this field to be undertaken under United Nations auspices, to encourage continued research and the dissemination of information on outer space matters, and to study legal problems arising from the exploration of outer space."
The Committee has two subcommittees, the Scientific and Technical Subcommittee and the Legal Subcommittee.

Qantas is in the midst of equipping its domestic Boeing 767s with wireless inflight entertainment and repurposed iPads, and will have fitted 16 widebodies by March, confirms system provider Panasonic Avionics.
In July 2012 Qantas surprised the inflight entertainment world when it announced the selection of Panasonic's eXW streaming video service for its entire domestic 767 fleet, despite running a successful trial of Lufthansa Systems' competing BoardConnect solution.
For the last few months, passengers flying on a 254-seat Qantas 767 have been able to access eXW, dubbed 'Q Streaming' by the carrier. "Customers travelling on selected refreshed Qantas 767 aircraft are able to enjoy 200 hours of on-demand inflight entertainment streamed direct to supplied iPads in every seat," says Panasonic Avionics executive director, corporate sales and product management Neil James, confirming the March timeline for bringing another 15 767s – and thousand of iPads – on line.
Four more Qantas aircraft will be fitted with eXW by the end the year. "Every seat gets an iPad. Even if people don't want to use it, it's there in the seat. Qantas wants to be able to say to passengers it offers entertainment in every seat," adds James.
But why is Qantas offering both wireless IFE and iPads? James says, "For some airlines, there is certain 'cachet' around offering iPads, but there is a fiscal and logistical impact of just being able to update the server once and everybody gets to refresh content immediately. Also, if you lock down all the devices to one type, it does make the management of the distribution of content and management of wireless access points (WAPs) and streaming more known and tangible because you're not catering to everyone's unique personal electronic device at the same time."
In that vein, Panasonic is now "pretty convinced that we have some pretty cool technology when it comes to WAP management so we're seeing superior performance on WAP management and the throughput, and the way we manage the throughput of the data from the WAPs to the passengers", says James.
"We committed to something quite conservative and we're exceeding our own expectations both in the lab and in testing we've done on aircraft. We have people literally working 24 hours a day, seven days a week to improve that performance and manage the overlapping channels and the re-use of channels. We're not dabbling in it; we're in it to provide a superior performance. That's an area that is a huge focus for us – steering passengers towards WAPs that have capacity and everything else."
Panasonic has broad experience in WAP management; the company has applied a lot of the lessons learned from its Global Communications Suite (GCS) to eXW. "The same technology is flying around on GCS and always has been," notes James. "So we've been testing the WAP technology for good while. And we have been testing video-on-demand [at our Lake Forest, California headquarters] so all the benefits of what we're doing here in the lab gets supplied to the aircraft."
Meanwhile, offering wireless IFE plus iPads at every seat does not provide a substantial weight savings over Panasonic's lightweight, next generation embedded IFE system eXLite, according to James. "You get to the point where real weight difference isn't substantial," he claims, noting that eXLite weighs about 3 lbs per seat.
However, the price point is far different as compared to embedded IFE, which can cost millions of dollars for a widebody aircraft. "If you look at the sheer volume of equipment on board, it will give you some idea of how much cheaper it can be."
To date, Panasonic has secured multiple customers for eXW. "We have something like 500 aircraft committed to it," says James. Some carriers, like Qantas, will offer eXW with portable devices, whilst others will offer eXW as a standalone solution, and stream content to passengers' own devices.
"There is no rules in the market," says James, adding, however, that most of Panasonic's eXW customers – indeed "a significant majority of them" – are just wireless.

Keychains & Keyrings for Acura CL Autos
The stainless steel engraved model is a sure success. It will be a valuable part of anyone's collection, now that this vehicle is no longer being manufactured by Honda. Everyone knows that as soon as an item is no longer being made, its value rapidly ascends to the stratosphere. Whether you chose the Teardrop shape, or the valet pull-apart model or the steering wheel keychain, you will soon discover that you are the proud owner of this 'must have' item. The Acura CL was manufactured from 1997-1999 and from 2001-2003 in Honda's Marysville, Ohio factory and was thought to be a replacement for the Acura Legend Coupe.
The 1997 model started by offering a choice between a 200 horsepower and a 145 horsepower engine. Similarly, you can get lot of choice in terms of quality, material used, finish, designs and many more. A small number of the these models were built (a total of 3,511). The car may be rare but these accesories are build to last forever. Grab one of these keychains with Acura's logo and make the owner proud.These are officially licensed sold retail or wholesale.

Committee of Experts on Democratic Participation and Public Ethics at Local and Regional Level (LR-DP)
Composed of governmental experts from Council of Europe member states, it was set up in 2004 to examine the experience of member states in trying to strengthen and increase citizen participation at local and regional level.
In the face of low election turn-out Europe-wide and the growing trend towards selective participation in local affairs by citizens when a personal interest is at stake, it is believed that a better understanding of member states' current policy in this area could help in the development of more effective strategies, with a positive effect for citizen participation.
Some of the Committee's future activities will include taking a closer look at the impact of citizen participation in public life and what measures can be taken to ensure citizens have a clear understanding of politics and its limitations, as well as the continued monitoring of policy in this area, participation trends generally and the sharing of information and experiences at local, national and European level.

Not to miss during visit
As the term "downtown" encompasses a several square-mile area, and their are thousands of eateries, I'm going to assume that you're staying somewhere around Michigan Avenue and River North, as that's where most of the hotels are.
It sounds like you'll be travelling with your children, which depending on their age, probably requires a trip to Portillo's on Ontario (note: yes, it is now a chain, but this is the mothership of the name). There are places in town that do better hotdogs, cheddar-burgers, and Italian Beef, but Portillo's is probably among the best for all of them, so if you want to get a sampling of all of Chicago's street food in one trip, this is the place.
Most of the other places I could reccomend depend on budget. If you're looking for a nicer, upscale meal, places like MK, Kevin, Aigre Doux, Custom House, Naha, Blackbird come to mind.
Another "authentic" Chicago eating experience would probably be a trip to Taylor St. in Little Italy - I'd probably go to Francesca's.
Hard to give concrete suggestions without a few more details.
re: mattlap_2000
re: bigDAVE
Yes, go to Portillo's for a beef sammich, combo sammich, hot dogs and burgers.
I'll throw in Frontera Grill for upscale Mexican food in a safe touristy location.
Depending on where you are from, you have probably heard that you should try stuffed or deep dish pizza (or both.)
Again, depending on where you're from, we have a decent sized chinatown.
If you enjoy indian foods / culture, you MUST get to Devon avenue (2000 ish west and beyond. For mapping purposes, I would suggest Devon and Western) you simply MUST go. If you do like Indian foods, you can get some recs here on where to go. Just ask.
Are there any ethnic foods that interest you? Again, depending on where you are from, you can be pointed in the right direction better for what you like, and what you might be able to get better, or just as good in your own area.
re: gordeaux
re: bigDAVE
S Florida? Still same recs. I'd definitely do pizza - both thin crust and stuffed or pan. BTW - just a regional thing here - it's just called stuffed pizza - not stuffed crust. It is actually like a pie - two crust layers with cheese, and fillings in between, and a layer of sauce on top.
If you liked Indian food, I'd HIGHLY suggest you try some here. Also, I really think you should try Fontera for acclaimed chef Rick Bayless' take on higher end Mexican food at Frontera Grill.
re: bigDAVE
Yeah, Deep Dish is another quintessential Chicago thing. We have the original Uno's (though it's likely better than the ones you went to), and it's sister, Due's.
However, I think you'd be better off with Gino's, Giordano's, Lou Malnati's, Pequod's, or anything else mentioned when you do a search of "Chicago Pizza" on this site. I personally prefer Gino's, but if you ask 100 people, you get 100 different opinions on this topic, so, I'd just pick one of the big-boy's listed above.
re: bigDAVE
This topic has a lot of good advice for visitors from out of town, including "can't miss" items and links to discussions of specific types of food:

Gov. Pat McCrory told WUNC radio that partisan politics should stay out of the process of locating polling sites. Now an elections advocacy group wants him to apply those same politics to Watauga County, which just removed polling locations from the campus of Appalachian State University.
From a news release: Common Cause Executive Director Bob Phillips called on McCrory to hold the Watauga County Board of Elections accountable.
This is a decision that reeks of partisan politics and will only make it harder for college students to vote, Phillips said. If Gov. McCrory really means what he says, then he should immediately demand the Watauga County Board of Elections reverse its decision.
Moral Mondays
The Moral Mondays movement continues in different parts of the state Monday with rallies scheduled for the late afternoon and evening in Burnsville (Yancey County in the northwest part of the state), Manteo at the Outer Banks and Charlotte (somewhere south of Raleigh just kidding, Queen City).
Now calling itself the Forward Together Movement, the rallies are organized by the state chapter of the NAACP.
We are traveling across the state with a moral and constitutional vision, mobilizing and calling on North Carolinians from every background to action, from the coast to the mountains, because the McCrory, Tillis and Berger Agenda is trying to turn this state 180 degrees in the wrong direction, the Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II, president of the N.C. NAACP, said in a news release over the weekend.
The Rev. Sen. Harris?
The Rev. Mark Harris of Charlotte is trying to build support for a U.S. Senate campaign through an effort to draft him into the race.
Hes currently conducting a 90-day listening tour to gauge interest and wants supporters to donate $20,000 for a comprehensive poll.
We truly could use your help in covering the cost of this vital tool, which not only gives us a clear picture of where Mark stands, but also provides incredible insight for the most effective strategy to move us to victory, Harris advisers write in an email to supporters. And if (he) is to run, Mark would officially announce publicly and statewide in early October.
GOP criticized from the right
How Raleighs Republicans forgot the working class.
Thats the headline on a recent piece in The American Conservative by Anthony Dent.
Its a somber assessment from the right about why the Republican revolution in North Carolina seems unpopular in so many quarters.
Elected with a super-majority, Republicans have decisively lost that advantage in public opinion after implementing their agenda, Dent writes.
This fall from grace was inevitable given policy choices that hurt working-class families combined with an inability to defend their reforms without relying on stale conservative rhetoric.
While placing blame for past problems squarely on the states Democrats and favoring Republican goals, Dent criticizes North Carolinas GOP over education, unemployment benefits and tax overhaul.
He closes with a slam over the late-in-the-session abortion-clinics-regulation bill.
N.C. by the numbers
Its not all politics and serious stuff all the time with Public Policy Polling.
Heres the groups latest on some cultural issues:
• Only 32 percent of North Carolinians consider themselves NASCAR fans. Just 17 percent like tobacco.
Only 14 percent are fans of moonshine.
Yes, its a changing populace. Thirty-nine percent of natives are NASCAR fans, but only 19 percent of those who came here from somewhere else count themselves as fans.
• Perhaps the biggest unifier in the state is barbecue: 87 percent of voters in the state say they like it, while 12 percent dont.
Republicans at 92 percent, Democrats at 86 percent, and independents at 82 percent all love the cue.
• Speaking of cuisine, 74 percent of North Carolinians like Krispy Kreme donuts, and 63 percent like sweet tea.
Newcomers, however, favor Krispy Kreme over Dunkin Donuts by a substantially smaller margin than do natives (49-point margin versus a seven-point margin).

Mottingham lottery conman bagged £788,297
1:00pm Tuesday 4th December 2012 in Lewisham By Mark Chandler, deputy news editor
A MOTTINGHAM conman who convinced people they had won the lottery before charging them fees that bagged him £788,297 is facing jail.
Southwark Crown Court heard how Patrick Emuh, aged 54, of Bromhedge, cold-called and emailed at least 20 people from around the world, telling them they had won a lottery or inherited money from a distant relative.
Having tricked his victims into believing they were in line for thousands of pounds, Emuh instructed them to pay advance fees, taxes and handling charges to lay their hands on the cash.
In some cases, a person pretending to be a lawyer contacted victims to help them claim the sums, charging them more money.
The victims were asked to pay the money into bank accounts or by cash transfer. Some were talked into travelling to the UK where they were met by people posing as businessmen.
Police have already seized £60,000 from the conman and are now applying for a confiscation order to compensate the victims.
Emuh was convicted of 19 counts of acquiring criminal property and is scheduled to appear for sentence at the same court on January 8.
Financial investigator Doug Ferns of the Met's Specialist and Economic Crime Command said: "Emuh tricked people into believing they had struck it lucky and when he was caught out he had the audacity to claim that the victims were in fact business customers.
"A thorough investigation of his bank accounts, mobile phones and computer combined with the many witness statements allowed us to see right through his story.
"People like Emuh are driven by greed and because of the potential pay off of a con like this they will go to unbelievable lengths to convince their victim that it is genuine, as Emuh did.
"If a stranger contacts you saying you have inherited money or won a lottery and must pay fees to access your windfall, do not believe it. Call the police."

Mauer is a CATCHER. Catching every day will absolutely destroy your body. He has an 8yr contract. Would you rather have him kill his body when we aren't contending and then just be dead weight when we are contending? Or would you rather have him stay healthy so he can produce for his whole contract
Yes, it does bug most of us that capps sucks and he is hurt. But lets remember last year when he was hurt most of the year but sucked it up and played. Mauer will never get credit for that. He is flat out incapable of such manning up! As for your point that higher salary doesnt equal higher output.....are you out of your mind? think AROD doesnt have higher expectations then everyone on the Yankees? When you sign a guy who was coming off of a MVP to 183 million dollar contract, you have very high expectations. If Mauer was in New York they would destroy him for this me first non sense. He would be hated 10 times worse then AROD! People in Minnesota live in a very strange bubble...I just do not understand how Mauer continues to get away with it. Minnesota nice I guess...
so where is your blog about Capps or Pavano for missing time? They just have shoulder/arm issues. Big deal. Shouldn't they be out there being "tough" and doing everything they can to help the team? Keep throwing even if it hurts. How dare they miss a few games to let an injury heal.
What bugs me is the double standards here. People get hurt and miss time, no big deal. Mauer misses a couple games, or gets a scheduled day off and people flip out. Pavano makes 9M a year and he isn't doing jack for the team on the DL. Why not call him out? Capps sucks even when he does play, but he's missing time. At least when Mauer is healthy he's a productive player. And it also blows my mind that people equate a higher salary with higher output from a player. Mauer is the same player as he was when he was making 8M a year. Paying a guy more doesn't make him any better.
Really....there are people out here you are actually not annoyed with his constant and forever (yes, his entire carreer!) missing of games for suspect injuries?.....183 million, my expectations are a gamer....he could not be farther from that!!
Don't take it so personally, iz just funnin.
Did you even watch the play happen?
feel good about yourself for ripping on a guy for being injured? seriously, you people need to move on from this "soft Mauer" crap. You have no clue how his body feels on any given day, and I guarantee if you were slid into by someone and got hit on an unprotected part of your body you'd be missing time, too.
Somebody please erase this...before Joe reads it and misses 3 months with hurt feelings. Also known as bilateral leg weakness
This is the worst time of the year to look for pitching. Frankly, the Twins already have better options in AAA than anything that is likely to be available on the waiver wire. Or are you proposing the Twins pay big money to Roy Oswalt (probably against his will)?
I don't see the Clete Thomas signing as problematic in and of itself. I think he does have value as a versatile 4th outfielder. The problem is that he is being put in the starting lineup almost everyday, which falls on Gardy not Ryan.
Hard to argue with the point that we were geared to mash......just wonder if that theory will change not that we clearly are no longer that team. Gardy always plays it safe and risking a hit and run or a stolen base I fear may not be his strong suite....but I hope im wrong here!
I completely agree jwestbrook that (if healthy) this lineup would have mashed in the Metrodome... see Mauer, 28 HR in 2009... Morneau, Thome, Kubel, Valencia, they would have scored a ton of runs in the metrodome.
I think the composition of the team the last two years was a reaction (maybe an over-reaction, but I'm not sure) to how offensively challenged the Twins were the couple of years before that. The timing was just bad. I don't think the organization really knew just how "big" Target Field was going to play. They'd seen the new Yankee Stadium become a HR paradise and weren't really sure whether wind patterns would result in a breeze out toward the plaza every game.
Last year, they talked about needing to get faster (thus the trade of Hardy), but didn't really address the problem well at all (corner OFs that were still too slow to cover the gaps, for example). If Span can stay healthy and if/when the team finds room for guys like Revere and Benson (assuming they can find a way to get on base), the speed on the bases should become evident.
I would argue that looking at the last two years (2010 for sure and 2011 opening day), neither of those lineups were built to play small ball, they were built to play gorilla ball and mash. Those lineups would have been amazing in the Dome. The issue arises that Target Field is among the worst in the majors to hit in for left handed hitters and the Twins had a ton of lefties.
I agree that they haven't been playiing small ball and haven't been doing the little things for probably close to 4 years now, but to use the last two years as examples is flawed because those lineups, and Gardy and others have openly stated it to certain degrees, were not built to play small ball, they were built to outscore their opponents, the complete opposite of the early 2000's teams who were more adept at run prevention and scoring just enough to win.
Compare these players when they were both in there prime...not now. Also, has anyone ever questioned how or why Hunter was hurt? Never. Apples and oranges.
Further research, in Hunter's last 3 years here he played 405 games, to Mauer's 395 during that same time, an avg. of 3 games more per year despite playing a much physically less demanding position. Yet he's calling Mauer out about not playing hurt and everyone takes his word as gospel. Just sayin'.
I think fans/media are far too tough on Mauer in regards to his health. Over the last 5 years (including last years debacle) he has averaged 122/games per year. I don't know where to go to find the number for other catchers, but I'm willing to venture that this is on the high side of games played by catchers. Catcher is the most physically demanding position in baseball, and catchers are going to need games off. I can certainly see the argument that because of this the Twins shouldn't have agreed to pay Mauer like they did, but because of the new stadium they were in a bad place. Pay the hometown hero, or let him go, right at the time a new taxpayer subsidized stadium is opening. Mauer's biggest problem isn't the injuries, it's that he doesn't talk about what is wrong, and he fails to realize that because of his salary he's held to a different standard than a guy like Luke Hughes, who nobody cares about when they are hurt. He needs to be more open and upfront with the fans when there is something wrong. I think that if you look back of Hunter's last couple years here, he probably missed almost as much time as Mauer, yet because he's an open book with fans and the media, everybody believed he was really hurt and didn't have issue with it.
I was wondering. I noticed I hadn't seen him around Target Field. I did see him at Twins Fest with the helmet.
I heard he had a dispute with the Twins at the end of the '09 season regarding some stuff that was stolen from him. I also heard he didn't like the seats that were reserved for him at Target field so he did not renew in 2010. Thats just what I heard...
To Jim, It wasnt the prime exampe it was a simple example. If you wants sheets of players that the twins have got simply becasue of the price, let me know becasue it wont be hard to compile!

Fashion Advice at the DIA: 'Makeup Makes You More Attractive'
A presentation at the Defense Intelligence Agency tells workers how to "dress for success."
A week after women were cleared to serve in combat, Defense Intelligence Agency employees got a different message. "Makeup makes you more attractive." "Don't be a plain Jane." "A sweater with a skirt is better than a sweater with slacks." "No flats." "Paint your nails." "Don't be afraid of color." And, "brunettes have more leeway with vibrant colors than blondes or redheads."
[Get your Whispers first each week. Subscribe to U.S. News Weekly.]
Men and women at DIA were given fashion advice in a presentation prepared by an employee at the agency this week. Susan Strednansky, public affairs officer at DIA, offered the agency's regrets about the briefing, which raised eyebrows among some employees, saying, "I'm not going to deny that it exists, and it was bad. It was inappropriate for sure." She added, "Neither the agency nor the leadership has condoned anything that was in that briefing."
The presentation offered gender-specific advice on how to improve one's success in the workplace through appearance. "It was an informal event that an employee put together, a briefing on How to Dress for Success," Strednansky says. "It's not directive. It is not mandatory. It is just, 'Hey, here are some suggestions.'"
[ENJOY: Political Cartoonists Take on Women in Combat]
In response to the presentation, DIA director Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn sent a letter to employees that was provided to Whispers. In it, he apologized to employees for "the unnecessary and serious distraction" and called the presentation "highly offensive." Flynn added that he hoped the intentions were "pure of heart and intended to help... but even smart people do dumb things sometimes. That said, no one is going to be taken to the wood shed over this. They'll require some counseling (to be sure) on what it means to think before you act."

UPDATED Tuesday, November 13, 2012 --- 4:40 p.m.
NEW YORK (AP) -- The man who accused Elmo puppeteer Kevin Clash of having sex with him when he was a teen now says it isn't so.
The man is now saying his sexual relationship with Clash was adult and consensual.
In response to the statement Tuesday afternoon, Clash issued a statement of his own, saying he is "relieved that this painful allegation has been put to rest."
The man, who has not identified himself, released his statement through the Harrisburg, Pa., law firm of Andreozzi & Associates.
On Monday, Sesame Workshop said Clash had taken a leave of absence from "Sesame Street" after allegations came to light that he had had a relationship with a 16-year-old. Clash denied the charges from the man, who is now in his early 20s.

Posted Monday, November 12, 2012 --- 11:20 a.m.
NEW YORK (AP) -- The puppeteer who performs as Elmo on "Sesame Street" is taking a leave of absence from the popular kids' show following allegations that he had a relationship with a 16-year-old boy.
Sesame Workshop says puppeteer Kevin Clash denies the charges, which were first made in June by the alleged partner, who by then was 23.
In a statement issued Monday, Sesame Workshop said its investigation found the allegation of underage conduct to be unsubstantiated. But it said Clash exercised "poor judgment" and was disciplined for violating company policy regarding Internet usage. It offered no details.
At his request, Clash has been granted a leave of absence in order to "protect his reputation," Sesame Workshop says. No duration for the leave was specified. Clash has voiced and animated Elmo since the 1980s.

Charlottesville Police are investigating the case of a pedestrian struck by a car.
The call came out around 9:30 p.m. for a pedestrian struck in the 1200 block of East Market Street. When officers arrived they found a 30-year-old Charlottesville resident suffering from severe lacerations to the leg. He was transported to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The 73-year-old driver was uninjured in the accident. Eyewitnesses tell police the man was walking down the middle of the road with headphones on while dancing around. The car struck him, sending him onto the car, over the windshield, and onto the ground.
At this time, police believe the accident was pedestrian error and no charges will be filed against the driver of the car.

Contractors chart path for 'bring your own device' programs
Thursday - 4/5/2012, 1:48pm EDT
Federal News Radio
In a federal climate obsessed with cutting costs, one might have expected agencies to have adopted "bring your own device" programs for its employees long ago. But security concerns have largely prevented that from happening—with the notable exception of the Department of the Interior.
Federal contractors, such as networking giant Cisco Systems, have similar security concerns and have successfully made the switch without any serious breaches. Sheila Jordan, senior vice-president for IT communication and collaboration at Cisco, talked to the Federal Drive with Tom Temin and Emily Kopp about the company's 4-year-old program.
Under the plan, employees purchase a smartphone of their choosing—be it an iPhone, Android or BlackBerry—then bring it to the company for formatting. Employees can then join a manager-approved corporate phone plan or keep their own.
Cisco protects company information through the use of virtual private networking (VPN), data encryption and mobile device managers (MDMs). The company can also remotely wipe employee devices of all data in the event one is lost. That would include any personal data on the device, like pictures and music, so employees are encouraged to back up their smartphones on their personal computers.
Employees who don't want to run that risk can still elect to use a company phone for company business.
Employees have been quick to adopt the program. The number of phones connected to the Cisco network has increased by two-thirds since the program began.
"That's what has just been really incredible. The benefit is we have just an overall happier and more satisfied employee base," Jordan said. "When we first started this, we expected that we would have savings...but in addition to that, we're seeing that there's this extra productivity, plus gain for our employees across the globe."
The biggest productivity gain has come from company apps allowing employees to log corporate expenses, sales and other information from their smartphones.
