PLAYERS: Chris Young, Justin Upton, A.J. Pollock, Adam Eaton, Jason Kubel, Ian Kennedy, Everth Cabrera, Gerardo Parra, Miguel Montero
TEAMS: Arizona Diamondbacks, San Diego Padres, Chicago Cubs
TEAMS: Arizona Diamondbacks, San Diego Padres, Chicago Cubs
PHOENIX It is only a small stretch to believe that we might have seen Chris Young's last start in a Diamondbacks home uniform Tuesday. It is far from a certainty, of course, but it cannot be ignored. When Young was forced to leave the D-backs' 3-2 victory over San Diego after aggravating his right quadriceps injury two pitches into the game Tuesday, the possibility hung in the air. For one, it took Young 14 days to return to the lineup after suffering the injury Sept. 3 in San Francisco, and the regular season has 15 days left to run. In the greater context, both Young and Justin Upton said last week they believe the D-backs will trade from their outfield strength this offseason because of the depth not only here but on the way expect A.J. Pollock to arrive Wednesday after winning the Triple-A championship with Class AAA Reno on Tuesday night. All-Stars Young and Upton would generate a lot of interest if they hit the market, Upton more so than Young, and rookie Adam Eaton has fit nicely into the leadoff hole. While it is a limited sample size, some in the organization believe Eaton can carry his minor league success into the majors. He can play any outfield position, although he is probably best suited for center. Young was asked if he were concerned that the injury might prevent him from starting again this year. "A little bit," he said. "You never know. It's getting late in the year. We tried to push it today and it didn't work out well, so we just kind of have to see day by day how it feels and try to test it again." Young had been limited to three pinch-hit appearances before starting in center last night, with Eaton opening in left to give Jason Kubel a day off. Young expects to have tests done again Wednesday, although said the quad felt "pretty much the same" as after the initial injury. He lasted just two pitches into Ian Kennedy's 14th victory of the season. San Diego leadoff man Everth Cabrera lofted a 1-0 pitch to deep left-center field, and Young tracked it down on the run. He checked up after he caught the ball,saying laterthat he felt the quad grab when he made a quick, hard step to go after the ball. Young held his hand over his head after making the catch, signaling the dugout he could not continue. Eaton moved center field, where he is likely to remain for the short term, and Gerardo Parra entered the game in left. "It's extremely frustrating. I've been practicing every day to get back to right, but game speed is just a little different," said Young, who is go make 8.5 million on the final year of his contract in 2013. The D-backs want to take a good long look at Eaton the rest of the way, and Young's unfortunate injury will give them a better chance. Eaton walked twice and was hit by a pitch Tuesday, scoring the first run in a two-run first inning after walking and stealing second base. He saw 23 pitches in four plate appearances in his 11th straight game hitting leadoff. Eaton is hitting .268 without an RBI, and after a hot start he has one hit in his last 16 at-bats. But he has walked seven times and been hit by a pitch in the last four games, and his on-base percentage is .423. That fits the job description. "I like Eaton at the top. He's young. So far he's done pretty good. The curiosity is, is he a leadoff hitter? Is he a guy who can be up there and be disruptive and get on base for us? He's fine. But he has a lot to learn," Gibson said. "We've had four really good outfielders all year. Now we have an additional one with Eaton. We want to see the difference in our lineup when he is in there. He's very creative. He understands what his duty is. He just has to refine it. That's one of the reasons I've been playing him." The D-backs remained 4 games behind St. Louis for the second wild card after the Cardinals beat Houston, 4-1. The Cardinals play five of their next eight games against Houston, and the other three are against the Chicago Cubs. After a blip on the radar screen in the last meeting, Kennedy got back to what he has done throughout his career, beat the Padres. He is 7-1 with a 2.79 ERA against them in 11 career starts, the only loss coming at Petco Park 2 weeks ago. Kennedy, who has won eight of his last 11 starts, changed his pitching pattern from that outing and threw more off-speed pitches early. He threw 30 pitches in the first inning and gave up a run, but his command returned as the game went on. Kennedy retired 12 of the final 15 batters he faced, and one of those runners was erased on a double play. He used only 10 pitches in the fifth inning, eight in the sixth and 10 more in the seventh. He was making his second straight start on six days' rest. "He's like he was last year, pretty much," said catcher Miguel Montero, who had RBI doubles in the first and fifth innings. "He's aggressive now. You see his 'velo' (velocity) up. He has command of his secondary stuff. He has been able to throw it for a strike. That's big. It's not like they can sit on a fastball because he can't locate the breaking ball. Right now, he can throw every pitch for a strike." Follow Jack Magruder on Twitter

HOUSTON—A suspected predator in Crosby is using Facebook to target high school girls, school officials said.
The man is using the social networking website to offer the girls gifts and money.
"I was scared. I would even lock my bedroom door. It was freaking me out," said Jaci, one of the victims.
Jaci is 17 years old and a senior at Crosby High School.
"I got on Facebook and got a message from a guy I didn't even know," she said.
"This is what he went by on Facebook: Hunter Allen," said Jaci's mom, Carrie.
In the first message the predator wrote the following:
"Jaci' I have seen you work at all these dead end jobs while going to school, crawfish hut, and Baytown seafood. I would hate to not see you with all the money you need for college. I would love to help you out with everything you might need in the future. I could start with an annual 10,000 dollar scholarship. Let me know if your interested."
Another message says:
"Look I'm going to be the one and take some risk on you. What do you need or want for 100 dollars. I will buy it for you, hide it in public somewhere, and you can pick it up and keep it."
" I told her stop in this parking lot on the way to school " said her mom.
The online predator did just that. He left $100 and a letter under a pole.
"My heart fell to my toes, I was scared to death" said Jaci's mom.
"He knew where I worked, things about me that weren't on my Facebook. I felt like he had followed me before," said Jaci.
Jaci isn't the only victim. School officials said the man tried to lure two other students. Jaci is so nervous she tries to disguise herself.
"I would always wear a jacket, wear sunglasses, maybe he won't recognize me," said Jaci.
The man didn't realize he was trackable. Jaci said he left his location button on on his iPhone.
"We noticed the ping on her phone and two different messages," said Jaci.
The family went to the authorities.
"They told me this man is smart enough, the verbiage he has used is on his messages, he has not broken the law, my daughter is 17 and is legal in Texas," said Mom.
Dr. Keith Moore, the superintendent said they sent out a Facebook message, and letters home to parents notifying them about what happened.

Madonna has been accused by a Russian legislator of violating tax and migration laws after allegedly performing a commercial concert in St. Petersburg with the wrong visa, and then failing to pay proper taxes on the money she made.
The charges come eight months after Madonna's concert at the city's sports and music center Peterburgsky, according to the Hollywood Reporter. "I don't like that someone collected Russians' money and didn't pay taxes," legislator Vitaly Milonov said, according to the RIA Novosti wire service, adding that Madonna made $1.1 million from the concert. The prosecutor's office is set to rule on whether Madonna did violate these laws, though at the time, the agency wouldn't comment on the situation.
Russian Court Throws Out Suit Against Madonna
Last year, Madonna stirred controversy in Russia by voicing her support for Pussy Riot while in Moscow, then advocating for gay rights in St. Petersburg. Milonov, coincidentally, is the author of the city's controversial anti-gay law, which came into effect last year and prohibits the "propagation of homosexuality" and "promotion of gay lifestyles."
Russia's foreign ministry seconded Milonov's visa claim, pointing out that Madonna had been issued a single-entry, three-month visa upon invitation from the culture ministry. It reportedly limits the purpose of her visit to "cultural relations" – in order to perform, Madonna would have needed a work permit.

In all the books and research papers on systems thinking that I have read, I don't think I have yet found the word courage as part of the language used.

After much teasing, Mykki Blanco's debut mixtape arrives with a title wordy enough to make Fiona Apple proud. Stylistically, Blanco is apt progeny for his outer-borough predecessors, like he was raised on a strict diet of Wu Wear and Timbs. His choice of beats is, however, much wonkier, and he raps over avant synth styles of all kinds—from Sinden and Matrixmann's for "HazeBoogie" to prog masters Gatekeeper's for "Squanto." He may be at his best, though, when paired with Brenmar, who gets weird, but keeps slightly more straight forward.

The U.S. Attorney's Office in Philadelphia on Thursday charged a Gladwyne real estate developer with misrepresenting his wealth to help him get $13 million in real loans.
Michael Pouls, 50, fraudulently induced National Penn Bank in 2007 and the former Wilmington Bank in 2008 to lend him the money, United States Attorney Zane David Memeger said in a statement to media. He allegedly claimed, falsely, that he had $28.5 million in TD Ameritrade accounts that truly contained about $3,000.
Pouls' Mirabeau Lane home—and his daughter and her friends—once appeared on the MTV show Teen Cribs. The house is on the market for $3.8 million, down from an asking price of $17 million.
Pouls faces up to a $3,250,000 fine and 110 years in prison, though sentencing guidelines call for less than a seven-year stint.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reported Pouls' attorney says her client "accepts responsibility for his wrongs, which he ceased voluntarily long ago and has been working hard to rectify."
A document of the full charges against Pouls is attached to this article.

We're home!
by, 08-31-2008 at 11:54 AM (1253 Views)
Well, our 2nd US road trip has come to an end. I'm sorry its all over but not even a bit sorry that I can now sleep in my own bed again. Not to mention my own shower. Whats up with some hotels having a shower that Mini Me could only enjoy. Do they have to mount the shower head 4 1/2 feet high? Anyway, heres how we spent the last of our trip.
In my last entry we were in a hotel in Santa Rosa, NM. We made our way to the Grand Canyon from there in a day. Stoped at the Petrified Forest NP. Pretty cool. Logs that have turned into rocks. Kept picking them up thinking it was wood. Got into Williams, AZ that night. We had a 4 day/3 night package booked on the Grand Canyon Railway. The next morning we traveled into the canyon via a 1906 deseil steam engine. Awasome!! Sat up in the dome car to.
Now before you guy start to think I'm showing off you should know that our 3rd wedding anv. was on the 27th of August. So it was kind of all about that.
Anyway, after we spent a few hours looking in amazement at the canyon, we made our way to our hotel. Next morning we hiked about 4 miles (return) down into the canyon. Left at 6 am gat back around 8:30 - 9. The batteries died in the camera halfway down. That sucked. Now if your looking to do the same hike, you should know that my calves and ass were sore for the next 3 days. And I hike from time to time. Very steep! As far as the view, there are no words I could put in here do justice to what we saw. You have to see it. Had a cool conversation with one of the guys that plays a cowboy for the tourists. He was a firefighter in Southern Cal for 24 yrs and drove a rig for 7 yrs after that. Now he spends his day making people smile and riding the train. Not a bad way to semi-retire wouldn't you say?
Returned back to Williams that afternoon and spent the next morning shopping around town. Wife picked up some nice jewelery as a anv. gift. We hit the road then heading for home. Now since there is this large hole in the middle of AZ. we choose to come up the east side. Right through the middle of SFA. But some of the most beautful country anywhere. This is the way I would say to go. Spent that night in a town in Utah that I can't even say the name of, let alone spell. Those guys love there ATV's and I can see why. I wanted to rent one so bad.
Spent the next day shoping in Salt Lake City. Got some great deals. Drove to Yellowstone and stayed just outside the park. From there to home the next day.
Way to short of a trip and to long all at the sametime. Heres the break down;
Drove - 9300 kms (5500 miles about)
Days driving - 10
Hotels slept in - 9
Fill ups - Lost count
Avg price - $3.65
Crap food consumed - Don't want to talk about it.
Total combined pounds gained - 15
Times I thought I was going to kick the crap out of somebody else while driving - just a couple
And just a few thoughts to sum- up:
- Do the things you really want to do but don't plan things to much. You'll see/ hear about cool things along the way that always seem to make the trip.
- Talk to as many locals as possiable. When you learn about the place, you can learn some thing that won't be in the giude books
- Everything really is bigger in Texas!
- Don't buy the first Route 66/ Grand Canyon/ Yellowstone etc... T-shirt that you see. There will be many, many more to look at.
- Fill up the car/ take a pee/ have a nap/ look at the map/ read the road and trail signs/ take a pic/ get some ice/ take a pee/ clean out the car/ change the batteries in the camera/ wash your underware/ pick up some cash/ say good morning to someone/ CHARGE your cell phone/ turn off your cell phone/ sit and watch/ take a pee, when ever you have the chance. YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY.

Michael Peca, while recently discussing the nationally recognized Buffalo Junior Sabres, said he sees a foundation for long-term success. He says the organization can grow to be as accomplished as a team like St. Michael's.
Tonight, the coach gets to see how this edition of the Junior Sabres stacks up against the model program.
The Junior Sabres, who moved up to No. 8 today in the Canadian Junior Hockey League national rankings, host St. Michael's at 7:30 tonight in Northtown Center at Amherst. The Buzzers earned an honorable mention in the CJHL poll, which includes 128 teams in 10 Junior A leagues across Canada.
The Junior Sabres and St. Michael's lead their respective divisions in the Ontario Junior Hockey League. Buffalo is atop the South West Conference's West Division with a 25-8-2 record. The Buzzers are 20-8-2 and lead the South Division.

Fall Traditions
I love the holiday's link to the harvest, American history, and of course, the food and autumnal colors.
But it's the notion of giving thanks that makes me pause, reassess and reaffirm. I find it refreshing and grounding.
Gratitude: "An Affirmation of Goodness in Our Lives"
In addition to the feast, each year, we prepare a list of readings for our Thanksgiving guests with a focus on gratitude, giving and the tradition of sharing the Earth's bounty with family and friends. In pursuit of this notion, I inevitably land at the work of Robert A. Emmons, Ph.D., founding editor-in-chief of The Journal of Positive Psychology and a professor at the University of California.
Emmons defines gratitude as, "an affirmation of goodness in our lives". He notes that a grateful person is one who is able to receive and accept life with both its positive and negative experiences. In other words, it is acknowledgement of the good that is blended into our lives, while being better equipped to acknowledge what doesn't work so well.
Based on his writing and other scientific research on happiness and gratitude, here are a few things worth sharing:
- Gratitude has the power to heal, energize and give hope.
- People who speak in grateful terms tend to smile more and use words such as giving, abundance, satisfaction and connectedness.
- Keeping a journal of things that make you grateful for only three weeks leads to better sleep, fewer physical ailments, goal attainment, higher productivity and energy, and an upbeat attitude.
- Children who keep gratitude journals and practice gratitude exercises display more positive and healthy attitudes toward family and school.
Talk With Friends and Family
To cultivate gratitude in your family, allow daily time for discussion and reflection to pinpoint what makes each person happy. Telling familial stories points to tradition, personal abundance, and teaches coping skills that become deeply ingrained. Hearing stories about relatives, who graciously dealt with austerity during the Depression, can help a family think about strategies for dealing with current financial uncertainty, experts say. There's wisdom in shared stories, even your "family" doesn't share NA.
Start a Gratitude Journal
Scott Strader, a local psychologist, also serves as Director of the Counseling Center at Eckerd College and is a fan of the work and research of Emmons. Strader also recommends keeping a gratitude journal, offering these tips:
- Carve out time each day to write in your journal. (Strader says doing it over coffee or cereal helps change your mindset as you orient yourself to the day, but any time that works should become part of your routine.)
- Start small - maybe you're grateful for a good night of sleep
Welcome New Traditions
As for holidays, Strader recommends establishing your own traditions.
"We each have a level of control and can use those traditions that appeal from our family of origin," he says. "I also encourage students to feel free to start their own traditions," he says.
These tips are part of a strategy to help change the way we think about holidays and what may be missing in our lives, toward a focus on what we have and can celebrate.
My own father referred to people who could only see the glass half empty as suffering from "poverty of soul". I think he was on to something. That's why it's interesting to see a scientific study showing the relationship between happiness and gratitude. It makes it even more puzzling to note the intrusion of Black Friday ever closer to a holiday dedicated to giving thanks for what we already have.
Black Friday: "A Reason to Shop" or "Intrusion on Thanksgiving?"
Experts say that shopping may actually be preferable to family time for some. Yet it will not fill a deep personal need and reflection may offer more long-term fulfillment.
Carol Osborne teaches marketing in the College of Business at the University of South Florida and is fascinated by the intrusion by retailers into our annual day of giving thanks. A former vice president of marketing at Cox Media, she acknowledges a certain segment of the population may pursue shopping to avoid reflection and gathering with others. But she cautions that consumers have the power to stop the insanity.
"As corny as it sounds, put the stuffing ahead of the stuff," she quips. "Don't get caught up in the hype of perceived value."
Like many, Osborne looks forward to a day off to celebrate a quintessential American holiday without much interruption.
"Isn't it so much more important to think about gratitude and gathering?" she asks.
Yet she is also intrigued by the creep of retailers into our break from routine on the third Thursday in November.
"Consumers – and retailers have a choice," she says. "I liken it to the pressure put on fast food companies to include healthier options," says Osborne. We can say no to the hype and societal pressure and protect our Thanksgiving holiday."
And although it is tough for many to think about gratitude in a year that has been an economic roller coaster, the real value may come from within. Gratitude for the small things we each have seems to have emotional and physical payoffs. That's especially helpful in uncertain times.
Start a Conversation
Even if you're spending the holiday alone, why not launch your own gratitude project? Starting this week, record those things for which, you are grateful, avoiding repetition of any one item. Or, write a letter thanking someone who was kind to you. Then spread the concept by encouraging others to do the same.
A little reflection on the seemingly small but good things might just help each of us start living well. Thank you to our loyal readers and Happy Thanksgiving!
Please feel free to post a comment about why you feel grateful.

Frank Janakovic will, almost certainly, be Johnstown's next elected mayor.
Current Mayor Tom Trigona, a Democrat, decided to not seek re-election this year.
Even with the opening, only two individuals entered the race: Janakovic and Anthony Gergely, both Democrats. No Republicans are seeking the seat in the May 21 primary.
However, Gergely died on April 26 at age 79, leaving Janakovic as the only candidate.
Janakovic was quick to compliment Gergely, who worked to beautify the city, most notably by getting vintage-style streetlights installed on local bridges.
"He did a lot of good things for the community; the bridge lighting," Janakovic said. "He had his heart in the community. Honestly, he was trying to do good for the community whether it was its streetlights or any project within the city that he saw was deficient or needed help. I think he was there to try to help and improve the city. … He'll be missed."
Barring an unforeseen occurrence such as a successful write-in campaign, Janakovic will become Johnstown's mayor in January.
Janakovic is a member of City Council. His current term is set to expire in January 2016. If he becomes mayor, a position considered a first-among-equals role on council, Janakovic will not have to run again until 2017.
As mayor, Janakovic says one of his main goals would be uniting citizens, government officials and community organizations in a shared mission of improving the city.
"As mayor, I hope to do a concerted effort to bring business and government together to work together – to be able to involve city and citizens and the communities – so we're all working on the same page," Janakovic said.
"There are a lot of good groups and organizations within the city. It would be giving them some joint direction, really kind of bringing everybody together to the table to work together and not in separate projects in separate directions."
He has formed a ticket with four City Council candidates: Rose Howarth, Marie Mock, Nunzio Johncola and Anthony "Red" Pinizzotto. They are competing in a nine-candidate Democratic field, along with Pete Vizza, Charles DiFalco, Ian Miller, Dave Vitovich and Jack Williams.
There are no Republicans running for city council. Four seats are open this year.
"The campaign, at this point, is going to shift for me to the point where I'm campaigning as a team," said Janakovic. "It's not just Frank Janakovic for mayor, right now. We're working as a team that we feel is going to improve Johnstown and work together."
Janakovic is executive director of Alternative Community Resource Program, an organization with more than 325 employees, who assist children, individuals with mental and behavioral health concerns and others in the community.

BY LAURIE MIHOLER-ZACHRITZ Special to the Record-Eagle
Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — BEULAH — Deb Nickerson gets lots of compliments on her homemade whole wheat bread.
She even thought she might like to try her hand at making it to sell, but the process of starting a business and getting licensed was daunting. That was, until she found out about Benzie Grow's new incubator kitchen in Beulah, and a workshop it was offering. It seemed to be targeted exactly to people like her.
"I got phone calls the same day from two different friends who'd seen an ad for it on TV," Nickerson said.
Nickerson, of Beulah, was one of more than 30 people who showed up for the two-day workshop recently to learn about the new kitchen and how it might transform their vague dreams into reality, said kitchen manager Lisa Richter
"What incubators do is brings folks out of the woodwork who are interested in producing a food product, but don't have business backgrounds," Richter said. "Folks got a solid understanding of what it takes to start up their business. It demystifies the process."
Richter said most are aware of Michigan's cottage food law, but a lot of their ideas involve having a shelf-stable product. For instance, one woman had a recipe for 20 years that she wanted to turn into a product but wondered how to produce it legally and sell it.
"It's an opportunity to share this awesome food that friends and family love, and she'll be able to bring it to market," Richter said.
Benzie Grow's incubator kitchen is modeled after the Starting Block incubator kitchen in Hart, whose kitchen and business manager, Ron Steiner, helped conduct the workshop. Karla Horn, food safety inspector for the region from the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, also assisted. The incubator kitchen itself is a fully equipped commercial-grade kitchen with all the trimmings, including a six- burner stove, commercial refrigerator and freezer, steam kettle, two convection ovens, mixers, and place for packaging and labeling with space for storage.
"The idea is you come here, you test your product, and you might fail," Richter said. "Starting Block has a slogan we like: 'Fail Fast, Fail Quickly, Fail Cheap.' It's a place to find out about your product and your customers. Many failures are part of a bigger success. You and your family might be the only ones who love your recipe. You don't want to batch up a thousand of it, though, just to find out it needed more salt. Maybe one teaspoon more salt and people would love it."
The kitchen is a starting point for people, but not the end, Richter said. At Starting Block, 30 different businesses use the kitchen; some come once every month, some three days a week. She said one successful business that started there is Wee Bee Jammin, a Bear Lake company that specializes in high-fruit premium jams.
"The idea is you graduate from the incubator kitchen and then move on," she said.
Since the workshop, Nickerson's been using the kitchen to develop and perfect her bread for multiple batches. She said she just needs to have her paperwork looked over and meet with Horn to give the OK before she can sell. She said she learned a lot about basic business practices at the workshop but, more importantly, she learned that there is support for what she wants to do.
"What I really got out of it was that there are people out there that are really helpful and want you to succeed. It's comforting to know that they'll be with you every step of the way," she said.
Iron Works Café
Al Fry, Manistee Community Kitchen's director of training and chief operation officer, attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony for Benzie Grow's incubator kitchen in June. He said he sees possibilities for connection with MCK's soon-to-be-opened Iron Works Café. One gesture of support will be to showcase some of the Beulah entrepreneurs' products.
"I have a shelving display that I've offered to them to use to market their wares," said Fry, who spoke with Richter at the open house about collaborating and sharing their ideas and resources.
The café, located in the southwest corner of the historic 1907 Iron Works Building in downtown Manistee, will be a restaurant and training center where students will learn every aspect of the restaurant business in a structured, 12-week program.
"Everybody will work in every aspect of a restaurant's business," Fry said, "from washing dishes, to food prep, to ordering, to waiting on tables, to bookkeeping. Students will also learn the importance of fresh, locally grown foods to good nutrition."
A chef, former restaurant owner and 40-year veteran of the food business, Fry said students will receive two certificates upon completion of the program — one from the café, and a Serve-Safe certification he said is highly valued by restaurants looking for qualified applicants. Both the café and Michigan Works, who helped furnish applicants and office space for interviews, will help graduates find jobs afterwards.
"My hope is that it will give them some real-world experience and that they'll have a reference when they leave," Fry said.
Eight students will be enrolled in the first session, along with three full-time staff, including Fry, Rita McCann, a certified life counselor who will assist students in bettering their personal life skills, and Nicholas Wimple, currently a student at the Great Lakes Culinary Institute in Traverse City, who will do his internship and instruct at the café,
The menu at Iron Works will be fresh, local comfort food served in a healthier way, Fry said.
"One of MCK's mission is to get people to eat healthier," he said. "So we might have things like meatloaf, but make it with ground turkey, or we might take the traditional fried chicken and bake it, but with a nice browned crust like it was deep-fried." The café also plans to serve a full-course family style, family size meal every day.
The café will open for business in late August and will serve dine-in and take-out lunch on Tuesdays and Fridays, dinner on Thursdays and Saturdays, and both on Wednesdays.
Fry said the support of local citizens has been tremendous, with over 250 people attending a café open house in June and contributing to an "over-the-top" successful Kick Starter fundraising campaign.
"We had a goal of $12,000 and raised $14,500," he said. "This community has been unbelievable."

The Port Arthur News
Carl Wiley and the Orangefield offense ran at will over the Longhorns on Friday night, as the Bobcats celebrated a homecoming victory.
The Orangefield Bobcats secured a District 21-3A win and celebrated homecoming in fine fashion with a 52-14 dismantling of the Hamshire-Fannett Longhorns on t at F.L. McLain Stadium.
The Bobcats defense held the high-powered Longhorns offense, led by quarterback Kendrick King, in check most of the night, including a stop near the Orangefield red zone and a turnover on downs on the game's opening drive.
Orangefield quickly set the tone of what would be a good night on offense as Carl Wiley took the hand-off on the Bobcats first play from scrimmage up the middle, to the left and 78 yards for the touchdown and 7-0 lead with 7:39 to play in the first quarter.
The feisty Orangefield defense, which collected three quarterback sacks, three interceptions and a fumble recovery on the night, held steady on the next Hamshire-Fannett possession and got the ball back for the offense.
Carmichael Wiley commanded the Bobcats offense with poise and marched the offense down the field, where he squirted through the line and across the goal on a 5 yard run to put Orangefield up 14-0.
The Longhorns (2-3, 0-2) responded and King, who finished the night with 52 yards on 21 carries, punched the ball in for the first Hamshire-Fannett score, cutting the deficit to 14-7 with 8:40 left in the first half.
The Bobcats (4-2, 1-1) used a big return of the Longhorns kick-off and started their next drive near midfield. From there the team methodically moved the ball down the field and kept the clock moving before running back Dustin Verrett scored on a 2 yard burst.
King and company answered the Bobcats touchdown with one of its own as King bolted around the side from the 8 yard line, narrowing the Bobcats lead to 21-14 at the half.
The second half of the game belonged to a stingy Bobcats defense and an Orangefield offense which was firing on all cylinders.
While the defense kept King and the Longhorns either backpedaling on the field and on the sidelines, the offense scored on five of its six second half possessions.
Orangefield running back Dylan Gray shot through the Hamshire-Fannett defense for a 43-yard score, which was followed by a picture perfect pass as Carlmichael Wiley rolled left and found Mason Sonnier open in the left corner of the end zone for a touchdown and a 35-14 lead.
Carl Wiley, who finished 18 carries and 257 yards, which surpassed his total of 20 carries and 254 yards in the Bobcats 2012 dismantling of the Longhorns, added another touchdown on a 29-yard blast late in the third quarter.
Orangefield kicker Matthew Rainey booted a 24 yard field goal and quarterback Matthew Watkins added a 1-yard touchdown run in the final minute of the fourth quarter to round out the Bobcats scoring.
"I'm extremely proud of our kids of how they played this week and bounced back from that hard loss last week," said Orangefield Coach Josh Smalley. "The defense made some great adjustments in the second half too. Being able to contain Kendrick King like we did was pretty exciting. We had a good week of practice, and it showed. I'm proud of the coaches and the game plan we had in place, but I'm more happy to get the win."
The Bobcats next travel to Sour Lake for a contest against the Hardin-Jefferson Hawks, while Hamshire-Fannett will play host to Buna.

NV State Museum is back in business
Listen to the story
The Nevada State Museum in Carson City has resumed normal operations, and its staff wants people to know they are back in business.
"What you see is the barrel or tube that many believe is the actual cannon that was abandoned during the John C. Fremont expedition."
That's Jim Barmore, Director of the Nevada State Museum pointing to the legendary Fremont Cannon.
It's currently on display at the museum in Carson City and Barmore says resident college football fans should be very familiar with this Nevada icon.
"As you know the Fremont Cannon is very famous, it's not the REAL Fremont Cannon that you see during football games, the big rivalry, but this is the real thing here."
Patrons now have an opportunity to see the Fremont Cannon six days a week.
In 2009, the museum budget was slashed by 45 percent.
The reduction caused the museum to lose ten people and the remaining 90 staff members were reduced from full time to part time work when the museum hours were diminished from six days a week to just four.
"Unfortunately my office overlooked the parking lot where I'd see people walk up and they wouldn't see the closed sign until they got up there, and I'd just watch the body language and they were so disappointed. And I don't have to do that anymore."
Peter Barton, administrator for the Division of Museums and History in Nevada, credits the financial breathe of life to Governor Brian Sandoval's new budget which took effect on July first.
"He is a very serious historian of Nevada. So he made a commitment to us that he would do everything in his power to restore museums as quickly as he could as the budget situation began to improve."
Barton says the funding increase could not have come at a better time as Nevada gears up to celebrate its 150th birthday later this year.
"Museums are obviously central to understanding Nevada's history, so we needed to get ourselves back open lest we say come to Nevada's birthday party, but don't come on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday because we're closed."
In preparation for the October festivities, museum administrators are busy preparing exhibitions honoring historic figures like explorer John C. Fremont, who led the first official expedition to the Great Basin and the territory that would later become the state of Nevada.
These displays and Nevada relics such as the Fremont Cannon can now be seen six days a week.
*Correction: The museum is now open every day but Monday.

Gwyneth Paltrow was born in Los Angeles on Sept. 27, 1972, the daughter of TV producer Bruce Paltrow and Tony-winning stage and screen actress Blythe Danner. Her arts-loving parents moved the family to New York City when she was 11 years old, resulting in Paltrow and her younger brother Jake being towed (sometimes against their will) to downtown experimental theater productions and uptown operas. After spending countless summers watching her mother perform at the prestigious Williamstown Theatre Festival in Massachusetts, Paltrow made her own professional stage debut there in 1990; the same year she graduated from the exclusive Spence School.

Electronic overload relay
Rockwell's Allen-Bradley E300 electronic overload relay integrates communication and Ethernet and has an embedded web server to simplify maintenance and control operations.
The Allen-Bradley E300 electronic overload relay integrates communications, including EtherNet/IP, patented current-measurement technology, and I/O options in a modular design. The modularity provides users with the flexibility to tailor the device to meet their exact needs, thereby enabling their motor-driven processes to perform more efficiently and profitably. The E300 overload relay's native dual-port EtherNet/IP option simplifies network wiring, by allowing E300 overload relays to be daisy-chained and by eliminating the need for an Ethernet switch. The E300 overload relay also provides an embedded Web server, which allows maintenance personnel to use a simple Web browser to integrate the E300 overload relay from any Internet-enabled device without the need for special software. To maintain uptime in the event of a network node interruption, the E300 overload relay supports a device-level ring (DLR) network topology.
The E300 overload relay contains an embedded Allen-Bradley DeviceLogix logic engine with preprogrammed motor-control logic for local and remote motor operation, simplifying device integration into an automation system. One cable connects the E300 overload relay to the operator station for local motor operation, eliminating the traditional hard-wiring time and costs, and consumption of discrete input points on the device. To ease swapping of E300 overload relays, the operator stations also support a copycat feature, which enables users to download pre-stored relay configurations at the push of a button.
The E300 digital expansion I/O modules provide four inputs and two relay outputs, making it ideal for complex starter scenarios where users require more inputs and outputs than provided in the base overload. Additionally, the relay's analog expansion I/O modules allow users to select between traditional analog signals and a range of specific resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) embedded in the motor.

Eagles Blowout Longwood on Senior Day, 92-44
FORT MYERS, Fla. – Five Eagles scored in double figures as the FGCU women's basketball team drained 19 three-pointers in a 92-44 win over Longwood on 'Senior Day' in front of 1,349 fans on Saturday night at Alico Arena.
The Lancers fall to 7-22 overall, while the Blue and Green improve to 26-3 overall and extend their home winning streak, which is the third longest in the nation behind UConn and Stanford, to 40 games.
The 2010-11 A-Sun regular season champs, who lead the nation in three-point field goals per game (11.2), knocked down 19 triples on the night and held Longwood to just 44 points on the night. The Lancers 44 points mark the 20th time the Eagles have held an opponent below 60 points this season.
Junior Kelsey Jacobson (Barnesville, Minn./Moorhead HS) recorded 17 points on 6-of-10 shooting from the field and 5-of-7 from behind the arc. She also added six rebounds and a career-high seven assists. Junior Lerrin Cook (Kearny, Ariz./Ray HS/Yavapai College) had her best performance as an Eagle, finishing with a career-high 17 points on 4-of-5 shooting from long distance and 5-of-6 from the charity stripe. Junior Nicoya Jackson (Houston, Texas/Cypress Springs HS/Southwestern Christian) scored 15 points and grabbed five boards, while seniors Shannon Murphy (Brighton, Mich./Brighton HS) and Shavonne Butler (New Orleans, La./McDonogh HS/Hill College) combined for 14 points, nine rebounds and six assists.
The Eagles jumped out to a quick 15-1 lead, capped by a layup from redshirt-freshman Sarah Hansen (McKean, Pa./General McLane HS) with 15:43 left in the first half.
LU was held without a field goal until the 14:56 mark when Krystal Garrison knocked down a jumper (15-3). The Eagles went on to outscore the Lancers 39-17, pushing their lead to as many as 36 points, over the final 14 minutes of the opening stanza to take a commanding 54-20 lead into the locker room at the intermission.
Longwood was limited to just 8-of-30 (26.7 percent) from the field and 2-of-11 (18.2 percent) from behind the arc in the first half. The Lancers eight first half field goals mark the 14th time this season and the second in as many games that FGCU has held an opponent to single digit field goals in the first 20 minutes.
FGCU hit 17-of-29 (58.6 percent) from the floor in the first half, including a blazing 12-of-19 (63.2 percent) from long distance. In the second half, the Eagles continued to knock down shots, extending their lead to as many as 48 points before winning the contest 92-44.
The Eagles return to the court for the final day of the Hilton Garden Inn FGCU Classic Sunday, Mar. 6 when they host the Cougars of SIU Edwardsville (11-17 overall). Tip off for the game, which will follow the matchup with Longwood and Seattle, is set for 4:15 p.m. at Alico Arena.

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — Gov. Mary Fallin took another walking tour of damaged Moore neighborhoods Wednesday. It comes as the governor requested and was approved for an extension of the federal major disaster declaration.
The earlier declaration involved the May 19 and 20 storms, and the new one involves the tornadoes and flooding that occurred May 31 in central Oklahoma. More than 40 people lost their lives in May storms.
Six counties — including Cleveland, Lincoln, McClain, Oklahoma, Pottawatomie and Canadian counties — are eligible for federal help. In Moore alone, more than 900 homes were destroyed and hundreds of others were damaged in the May 20 storm.
The May 31 storm destroyed another 52 homes and left 193 with major damage and 159 with minor damage.

Five Former Florida Governors Visit University of Florida
Published October 12th, 2012
Loading Video...
GAINESVILLE- Water Supply, land usage,energy, education, economic development and growth management, were all topics on the floor for what audience members are calling a once in a lifetime forum at the Phillip's Center today.
Former governors Reubin Askew, Bob Graham, Bob Martinez, Buddy MacKay and Charlie Crist showed up to ask questions and address concerns about the current state of the state and why young people are considering leaving.
The students, seniors and inbetween present today however were cemented in the Phillips center taking mental note of a wealth of gubernatorial advice.
Dean of Levin College of Law at the University of Florida, Robert Jerry says, "the opportunity to hear the wisdom of these great leaders of our state and their advice for our students there's no question this is something that we'll remember for a long long time."
Wisdom that the governors were able to exercise and apply to several current event issues including some ballot hot topics brought up by the student audience.
Potentially disenfranchising voters through shortening early voting periods was also a concern raised among students present.
Crist criticized House Bill 1355 as it relates to absentee ballot verification through voter signature.
The most senior former Governor present, Reubin Askew encouraged voters to keep their trust in the judicial branch.

Niagara Gazette
Niagara Gazette — TOWN OF TONAWANDA — A gunman going by the name Joseph Hollywood was found dead in his Fries Road home almost eight hours after he set it on fire.
The body was located between 4 and 5 p.m. in the basement of the house after a tense and frightening day for neighbors and first responders, who weren't able to actively fight the fire due to the report of a gunman inside the home. Investigators have not determined whether Hollywood, 60, died as a result of the fire or from self-inflicted wounds, Lt. Nick Bado said.
Town residents who watched the incident take place from the corner of Eggert and Fries described Hollywood as mentally unstable.
"He was crazy, he was a menace to the neighborhood," one neighbor, who did not wish to be identified, said. "It's too bad it had to come to this."
Hollywood legally changed his name from Joseph Bryniarski 10 years ago and was charged in 2000 with disorderly conduct while dressed as Santa at a Buffalo Bills game. There had been 18 more encounters with police since 2003.
Monday's incident began at 9:15 a.m. when Hollywood's girlfriend called 911.
Bado said the woman was "screaming 'He's going to kill me,' saying 'He has a gun,' saying 'He's set the house on fire.'" Some neighbors had also reported hearing shots being fired shortly after 9 a.m., Bado said.
Shortly thereafter, police responded to the home, located at 163 Fries Road, and found the structure ablaze, with the woman safely outside. Unable to approach the home, officers set up a perimeter to monitor Hollywood's movement.
By 10:15 a.m., the house began collapsing and the garage was on fire. Police had not confirmed Hollywood's location. Authorities told residents to shelter in their basements and shut electricity off within 1/4 mile of the scene. All Ken-Ton schools were also placed on lockdown. At 12:30 p.m., a SWAT team approached the property with their guns drawn, and a series of stun grenades were detonated, but Hollywood, 60, still had not been located.
Brighton and Sheridan Park firefighters were able to set up a ladder to hose water on the home, and later approached the structure from Fries Road. But by the afternoon, the home had become a pile of ashes.
The school and residential lockdowns were lifted at 1 p.m, but police later delayed the dismissal of Edison Elementary, Franklin Middle and Kenmore East schools. Meanwhile, a SWAT team searched the a nearby Mayville Avenue home for Hollywood. The team left the home empty handed, and at 4 p.m., the students were allowed to leave.
Not long after, Hollywood was found dead in the basement, where, according to neighbors, he kept an arsenal of weapons.

When Editor-Agent Relationships Go Wrong
Most agents will stay out of the way at this point, asking only to be cc'd on correspondence and only getting involved if there is a major bashing of heads. But on occasion agents do involve themselves in this part of the editorial process, most often to the detriment of the book. The way I've seen it manifest is that an author will complain about the editor's editorial requests and the agent will act as an enabler for the author's discontent.
I don't suggest that my clients should always agree with an editor's opinion, but I do think they should carefully and rationally consider it, and in some cases at least attempt to revise in accordance with the editor's requests. Often times the author will discover that the changes do make sense after they begin them.
So now the book is done, and this is where I've seen and experienced other problems. The editor has developed this close bond with the author, and so they start conveying information and decisions about the book's publication without speaking to the agent. Cover art is selected and catalog copy written. Information about print runs, pricing, and other logistical details is shared. Or perhaps later the publisher decides not to release a paperback edition or lets the book go out of print.
In my opinion, and in the opinion of almost every agent I know, these are all details that need to be shared and discussed with the agent, often in advance of speaking to the author. Our advice to our client in such situations is part of the fifteen percent we earn, especially in the case of a debut author who knows little about such details.
An example. Cover art is one of the most contentious issues between authors, agents, and editors. The art is typically generated by the publisher, and then most editors share the cover art with the author as either a courtesy or because of contractual obligation. Few authors actually have approval over cover art, but most contracts should state that you have a legal right to be consulted.
I've heard of some editors who present cover art to authors without hinting that the author's opinion is either desired or matters, and a debut author may not feel comfortable speaking up. This corresponds with the commonly held view on the publisher's side of things that such decisions are best made by publishers. However, I absolutely feel that authors should provide their input on such decisions, though delicately, and so it's important to have an agent there to avoid any land mines.
I actually know of a few very good editors who simply just don't get why the agent should be involved in such conversations. As a result, I always suggest to writers to make sure to involve your agent in everything and tell your editor to do the same. Make your agent earn their fifteen percent.

This is also why writers have to have good relationships with their agents. When reputations are at stake, no one should take anything for granted.

Thanks for posting this. It's a very important thing to keep in mind, and something that is easy to forget about, even though it should be common sense. Would it be appropriate to cc your agent (at the very least) on all emails with the editor, even if the editor has left the agent out? I can't imagine there are any issues the agent would want to be left out on.

I have a question regarding covers. I've heard it said many times that authors have input "in rare situations." Does that mean a well-published author, someone with an art/marketing background, or what? I'm a graphic designer by day so this particular detail intrigues me.

Most authors don't get final say over the cover art, but they generally do get consulted on it and can prvide input.

Midway through the 2014 legislative session, members of the General Assembly still can't find a way to do one simple thing: Let the voters of Kentucky decide whether they want change that could generate more revenue for their communities and help ease the cash crises facing so many cities and counties throughout the state.
Change may come slowly to Kentucky, but things are definitely changing when it comes to public opinion about issues including smoking, gay marriage, medical marijuana, minimum wage and who should be the state's next U.S. senator.
Those were among issues Kentuckians were asked about in the latest Bluegrass Poll, conducted by Survey USA in an expanded effort that for the first time brought together four major news organizations, including The Courier-Journal, WHAS-TV, the Lexington Herald-Leader and WKYT-TV in Lexington.
Should Campbellsville residents be limited when it comes to having yard sales? We don't think so.
While the Campbellsville City Council has been discussing the issue, we can't help but wonder where the real problem lies.
Council members have discussed potential traffic problems, but it seems having police officers ticket those who create the traffic problem would be a better alternative than patrolling yard sales and possibly citing someone over a permit.
Every game has its rules, and politics are no different.
Here at the CKNJ, we have our own rules that we follow when it comes to politics and our coverage of political events. They are in place to help us be as fair as possible to each candidate.
When the political season rolls around, candidates begin by making an announcement of their intention to seek office. We welcome any candidate to do this, and we will publish one notice from each person declaring their candidacy.
Former Secretary of Agriculture Richie Farmer betrayed the public's trust through his illegal actions while in office, and we feel he received the appropriate sentence.
Oklahoma-based Williams Co. and Texas-based Boardwalk Pipeline Partners want to build a pipeline to pump natural gas liquids across the commonwealth. The partnership expects it will not be able to negotiate sales with 2 percent of landowners along the route.
Although the proposed Bluegrass Pipeline's exact path is unknown, it will enter Kentucky in Bracken County and run through many central Kentucky counties to link up with an existing pipeline in Breckinridge County.
