Some Patch readers noted they heard the changes had been made by a boy scout troop.
The La Cañada Valley Sun confirmed in an article Wednesday that on Dec. 8, Eagle Scouts in La Cañada Flintridge Troop 507 installed the fence and a sign along the trail and repainted the pedestrian equestrian tunnel that runs under Oak Grove Avenue along with friends and family for one of the Eagle Scout's projects.
The changes were found when the Pasadena Public Works Department responded to the location to repair a broken water line caused by the modifications.
Charles Peretz, Administrator for Pasadena's Parks and Natural Resources Division, told Patch last Thursday that the City of Pasadena had no idea at the time who added the fence and signage since the additions did not go through the City of Pasadena and its procedures for such changes.
Though the stretch of trail in question is in Pasadena, a County Parks and Recreation spokesman told the Valley Sun that the county has long maintained the area and the Eagle Scout troop was working with the county parks department, which provided the materials for the work.
Peretz previously told Patch that the trail changes may need to go, depending on whether they are in line with the City's master plan and he maintains that stance.
"If you can get 50 boys and parents, to put 500 hours into fixing the trail, it seems to me you would be overjoyed and not raise an issue with the county," Troup 507 co-scoutmaster John Moe told the Valley Sun.
A full report will be presented at the next Hahamongna Watershed Park Advisory Committee meeting on January 22, according to the City of Pasadena.

New Mobil Ratings: Quixotic Attempt at Scientific Objectivity
Only four New York restaurants received the top rank of five stars in the ratings released last week: Alain Ducasse, Per Se, Masa, and Jean Georges. (Le Bernardin, which won three Michelin stars, is conspicuously absent.) What separates a five-star restaurant from a four? O'Flaherty cited some startlingly specific examples from Mobil's checklist.
Five-star service means:
"All beverages are readily refilled within 35 seconds. Guests never have to pour their own bottles."
"Staff can describe with considerable detail the preparation and ingredients of each menu item."
"It is never necessary to signal staff. They anticipate all requirements."
But can food really be so easily quantified? "Our eight inspectors all come from a fine-dining background," O'Flaherty said. "But we have specific items for food quality as well."
Five-star food means:
"All dishes are served precisely as ordered."
"Food presentations are colorful, interesting, and include varied heights and contrasts."
"Cooking is perfectly executed: ideally moist, flaky, crispy, or what have you."
"Food flavor is exceptional and indicates a complete balance with no thought of a missing taste."
It seems to us that the attempt to utterly rationalize taste is something of a folly, like trying to seduce a lover with a series of mathematical proofs. But we'll say this for mathematical proofs: They're pretty reliable, as far as they go. And if Domino's can cook and deliver us a pizza in half an hour, a waiter at Masa sure as heck can refill our sake given half a minute.

Vinny Curry, DE, Marhshall
6-foot-3, 265 pounds
Draft projection: 25th to 50th pick
Lowdown: Curry has the production and size to project as a solid pro. He was the NCAA active career leader in tackles for loss at the end of last season, with 48. He had 12 sacks as a junior, 12 as a senior and 27.5 for his career. He also was a team captain. He's a hustler. Curry ran a poor 40-yard dash time of 4.98 seconds at the combine. But he came back at his pro day with a good time of 4.64. He didn't always play against the highest level of competition, and some scouts wonder about his top-end athletic ceiling. But he looked very good against top competition at the Senior Bowl. He's a quality player who might creep into the bottom end of the first round. The Buffalo Bills would have to consider him if he lasts until their pick in the second round, No. 41.
"He's a lunch-pail guy that works his tail off," NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock told the Huntington (WV) Herald-Dispatch. "He's got some talent but he's not supremely gifted. And he gets the most out of what he is. He's got some natural pass-rush ability and some toughness. And when you combine those things, you can be a really productive, good NFL player."

Tonight, the Gators need to push that extra button against Cincinnati.
Cincinnati has the unknown's advantage heading into the Sugar Bowl with Florida. The Gators have been dissected from every angle, in numerous situations.
History does not remember the losers.
Even if Tebow does not win another National Championship, or does not have the professional success of those I have mentioned, he is iconic to us.
The question isn't that will FSU score, despite the title. But, will they score enough to win?
Today is Florida's opportunity to see if the kids are alright and give Tim Tebow a victory lap before Evil Tebow plays against FSU.
Our thoroughbred Tim Tebow has run a mile of this horse race and he's turning home.
Florida faces Vanderbilt today, which has a puncher's chance, if that puncher covers up and tries to score on jabs.
Leaving downtown Jacksonville Saturday night, there was a sense of accomplishment for the Gators and their fans.
The last several years of this rivalry have been about ruining the other guy's season.

July 31, 2014
Pikeville officials believe a restaurant tax increase will bring an extra $200,000 to the city.
Monday night, Pikeville City Commissioners unanimously approved increasing the restaurant tax a half percent. It is now two percent.
City leaders say the extra money will go towards funding the new indoor Jenny Wiley Theater downtown.
"To invest in the region in the sense of art, entertainment, and to actually, the intent is to hopefully bring in additional traffic to the community which would in essence create additional jobs, additional demands for services, restaurants," said City Manager Donovan Blackburn.
Blackburn says the increase would be a nickel on a ten dollar bill.
The restaurant tax first went into effect in July to help fund the Expo Center.

I also agree they may have needed to skate a cleaner program than they did in 94. Sergei faded really badly toward the end on their 94 FS. I since wondered if that had anything to do with the blocked coronary arteries.
I also agree they may have needed to skate a cleaner program than they did in 94. Sergei faded really badly toward the end on their 94 FS. I since wondered if that had anything to do with the blocked coronary arteries.
Considering how poorly skated the 1996 and 1997 Worlds events were, Gordeeva/Grinkov could have theoretically won those events as well (provided the judges still kept them in the top 3 after the short programs even with supposed easier content).
What I stated was that I believe they would have arrived in Nagano totally prepared to SKATE BETTER than Lillehammer.
There is nothing to respond to now, as your "question" does not apply.
Wow! that would have been the greatest team Russia ever sent to the Olympics and they could have swept the podium. B&S would have skated better than they did in Nagano because they would not have faced the pressure of being the OGM favorites.
In my opinion I think that GG never really reached their full potential. I believe that they could have pushed themselves a bit more, both technically and artistically. For example, Katia started to execute double Lutz and triple toe-loops both in competition and during shows after Sergei's death, and in the last 4 years has won 2 reality shows where she has executed clean throw double-flips. Now you can really see how she has developed artistically and back then how at the age of 24 and fulltime single mother, managed to challenge gold medallist Yamaguchi and finish second during a pro-competition. However, maybe because figure skating back then was not challenging enough or maybe because they were happy with what little they did to achieve their goals; they never made that extra effort. They didn't even prepare exhibition programs – 9 times out of 10 they would use their short-program as exhibition.
However, I have looked at GG's LP from their Olympics in 94, and I have compared it to MD's performance in 94 and KD's performance in 98.
Technically GG were stronger both compared to MD's performance and later to KD's performance.
And I would like to stress the word "technically" as per ISU's Scale of Values, Levels of Difficulty and Guidelines for Marking Grade of Execution in a senior program.
I'm not sure what the rules where back then because we know rules change every year. However this year is states that a A Senior Well Balanced Program must contain:
• maximum of 3 lifts
• maximum of 1 twist lift;
• maximum of 2 different throw jumps;
• maximum of 1 solo jump;
• maximum of 1 jump combination or sequence;
• maximum of 1 solo spin combination;
• maximum of 1 pair spin combination;
• maximum of 1 death spiral
• maximum of 1 choreographic sequence.
Here is my technical analysis
In 1998 KD had 2 lifts, both executed with 2 hands, and very slow.
In 1994 MD had 2 lifts, both executed with 2 hands, the lifts were very slow. Arthur took time to adjust to the weight of his partner both in 1994 and 1998.
In 1994 GG had 3 lifts, both executed with 1 hand. The first and the last lift are quite interesting because in the first lift Katia is using Sergei's harm as a gymnastic uses a pommel horse. She is changing position while he rotating. Whilst in the last lift, Sergei is fully supporting Katia's weight, it's a dangerous move and it looks as if timing is everything in this move. All these lifts are executed with tremendous speed and ice cover. They get in position very quickly.
Twist Lifts
I don't want to state the obvious. GG had tremendous ice cover, and Katia was really flying above Sergei's had. Pairs have learned to do that now. But there is a difference. Pairs nowadays don't have the same ice cover, or the same speed. Here there is a link to have a frontal look of GG performing the split twist.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pY7HFPSmx8M what from 0.47
Throw jumps
The toe loop and Salchow are considered the easiest jumps while the loop and flip are more difficult; the most difficult throw jump is the Axel. The score is affected by the quality of execution, including the speed going into the element and distance and height of the throw. The man should continue skating in a smooth manner, without stopping or lunging forward too much from the exertion.
Dmtriev had a technical issue when throwing the lady. He would simply stop and wait for the lady to land before resubmitting his skating. DK and MD had small throw triple Salchow and triple toe loop..
GG had the most difficult throw – the double Axel and a throw triple Salchow.
GOE: GG's double Axel had both an unexpected/creative/difficult entry. Katia like Oksana on her throw jump, landed slightly forward. But really not harm for both ladies.
What made GG's throw jumps better compared to DK and MD is the fact that Sergei had a better position at release and Katia had a good air position. Also GG had good speed, height and distance. Their throw jumps were effortless throughout, with good control and flow on the landing (see GG's second throw jump)
Solo Jump
MD had a double flip and a triple toe-loop – very good
KD had a triple toe-loop and the double axel– the triple toe loop was good, but Arthur is landing slightly forward.
GG had a double Axel. Compared to MD and DK GG's sync during their jumps was extremely good, unmatched. They also had better ice coverage.
They second solo jump the double Salchow, singled by Sergei, was in fact included in a combination jump. GG had a total of 2 combination jumps. The Salchow was included in the combination jump Axel-half loop- Salchow toward the end of their programs. Although Sergei singled the Salchow, this combination jump was difficult since it was executed with high speed and they covered the entire width of the skating rink. It was also performed with great unison.
Jump Combination
KD had a double Axel double toe loop combo and MD had a double Axel double Flip combo.
Once again, GG were unmatched in terms of flow and good timing/speed from entry to exit, but KD and MD had good combination Jumps.
GG on the other hand had a slight bubble when Sergei landed his double flip. However Sergei didn't land on two feet, there wasn't a step out or a touch down. Sergei had a weak landing, like the one from Arthur during his triple toe loop with KD. Therefore I'm confident to say that if Arthur jump was ok, then also Sergei's jump was okay.GG had also another combination jump, already mentioned above.
Side-by-side spin
We have Simple SBS spin and Difficult SBS spin.
Simple: A simple variation of position is a movement of a body part, leg, arm, hand or head, which enhances but does not change the basic position of the main body core. A simple variation does not increase the Level.
Difficult: A difficult variation is a movement of a body part, leg, arm, hand or head, which requires more physical strength or flexibility and that, has an effect on the balance of the main body core. Only these variations can increase the Level.
KD and MD had a very easy spin: sit spins and then grab-foot spins standing on one leg. This is probably due to the fact that Arthur has always had technical issue: he couldn't center and balance the rotation while spinning.
GG did not have this issue and their spin was technically more difficult.
G&G did flying camels, back sit spins -SINGLE LOOP in sit position-back sit spins. While they are doing the camel spin they are looking up, which has an effect on the balance of the main body core. GG executed more revolutions(13) compared to KD (10) or MD (8).
Combination Spin
GG/KD/MD spins were good.
KD and MD executed they trademark spin.
GG had a interesting spin that ended with Sergei lifting Katia above him.
Death Spiral
The Back Outside death spiral is probably the most challenging of the death spirals and it was the one who caused so many issues during this season among pairs. Because it was compulsory pairs couldn't avoid it.
KD and MD had only 1 death spiral in their LP, the forward inside death spiral.Both Ladies had issue with the back outside death spiral and Natalia never attempt one during the Olympics. Oksana had to do hers during the short program and in my modest opinion I think that an Olympic champion should be technically strong, and not just "hung in there". It was painful to watch and laughable.
GG had 2 death spirals in their LP and not just one like for KD and MD. They had a forward inside as well as the back outside death spiral. GG also executed a back outside death spiral during their SP.
Once again, in terms of execution of the death spiral and based on the number of death spiral executed during the LP, I would say that GG were technically stronger.
GG also had other elements that were compulsory until a couple of years ago:
GG had one carry lift
GG had one massive spiral.
Now when we say that GG were not technically strong compared to MD or KD or any other, which should focus on the fact that GG's LP was packed with elements, it just that they really made everything look so easy that people don't see that. This is me being nasty, but I would like to add that GG did their stretching before stepping on the ice and not while performing.
GG had 2 death spirals, MD/KD only 1
GG had 3 lifts, MD/KD only 2
GG had 2 combination jumps, MD only 1 combination jump
GG had 1carry lift. MD/KD none
GG had 1spiral. MD/KD none
GG had 1 extra set of SBS butterfly spin at the end
I don't agree with those who say G&G would have needed sbs triples in 98. I can easily see the judges giving gold to a clean G&G over K&D, and wouldn't disagree. K&D's skating always had a teacher/student, still-in-development feel to me.
G/G could have easily won gold in Nagano. That field was the weakest in Olympic competition since at least the 1970s (and possibly further back). It's tough to speculate for many obvious reasons, but in terms of content, I'm not sure whether to assume they would have pushed themselves and included the triples or played it safe with double axels. Had they won 96 and 97 Worlds with 2A's, would the judges have considered 3T's to be of such importance anyway? And, entering the competition having won the previous two Worlds in addition to their earlier success would have certainly given them a bit of a boost in reputation scoring.
I think they were more likely to have won with 2A's, as a solid short would have knocked B/S - the only team that could possibly match their quality - out of the top 3, making it easier for G/G to skate to gold in the free. 3T's would've been a greater risk, and they seemed to be at their worst when trying to up their difficulty previously in their career. Regardless, they would've certainly won a medal; the color would have depended on their consistency and whether we are assuming B/S might've performed better with less pressure.
I still wish Shishkova/Naumov had competed over E/B. E/B's programs that year were especially trashy, and they were on a downward trajectory technically. S/N never received the respect they deserved. They should have been 3-time World Champions and made the Russian teams well beyond the 1996 season IMO.

Oh, I think you've stumbled onto a great idea. Skate with one partner, then run into the dressing room to change to the other costume and skate with the other partner.I was speaking as if K/D and M/D could both be pairs at the same time.. as if Artur Dmitriev could somehow clone himself.. *smacks head*
Perhaps this idea would work better in a new compulsory dance event. Maybe they could do it like show jumping, where they take the top 4 couples after the preliminaries and have them each skate the CD again with each of the other 3 partners. Medals could be awarded separately to the man and woman with the cumulative best scores.
(For those who don't follow show jumping, they have the top four riders jump the course again on each others' horses.)
In general, G&G's throws were great but at the 94 Olympics Katia had a forward landing on the throw 2A, as if she almost came to a stop on the landing, then recovered. Scott Hamilton made a big deal about Sergei's flow continuing and Artur coming to a stop. Artur did not actually come to a stop; he was just had less flow.
Nobody questions G&G's superior basic skating skills but in the 1994 Olympics both their SP & LP had minor flaws, while M&D were absolutely clean, with some of their moves harder than G&G's. M&D were a lot more creative in their choreography and a lot more passionate in their musical interpretation. Also M&D skated with more confidence. This really was a toss up, and not a slam dunk for G&G as you are making it sound, but I see from your thesis-type posts that you have a strong bias toward G&G, and you will justify every move of them as more difficult and better than M&D's.
As much as I loved G&G, I have to say that they did not really bring anything brand new to pairs skating until after they turned pro. M&D were innovative, and they really changed pairs skating from a series of standardized elements to creative work of art on the ice.
Sounds like you have a bias toward M&D.
I love them both. I really could not pick a winner in 94; it was that close. The reason I posted positive comments about M&D is that they often don't get credit for their greatness.
I agree these two performances were pretty much a toss-up. I think, technically, M&D did outperform G&G, because of the SBS triples and the lack of errors. I think it is a bit revisionist history/ grasping at straws to make a great deal over lifts. In that era, lifts were lifts and no one got much extra credit for more difficult ones. M&D's lifts were hard enough to be gold medal worthy.I love them both. I really could not pick a winner in 94; it was that close. The reason I posted positive comments about M&D is that they often don't get credit for their greatness.
I honestly don't understand the need for anyone to rationalize at length over the superiority of G&G or to attempt to re-frame this very narrow win like it was a blowout. G&G are, I think, still widely held as the vision of what great pairs skating should be. Kind of like with Greg Louganis in diving, when the Chinese decided to build a pairs program, they started by gathering as much G&G video as they could. IMO their performances speak for themselves; they really need no defending.

TIMES TRIBUNE (CORBIN, Ky.)
CORBIN — Times Tribune Staff Report
Trailer with hazardous materials results in travel advisory
A London man is in jail after he was found driving a stolen trailer with possibly hazardous material Tuesday, according to Laurel County Sheriff John Root.
Police were tipped off the stolen trailer was being driven through London and stopped the driver, Joshua B. Sizemore, 35. Sizemore was recognized as a wanted individual.
After searching the trailer, law enforcement noticed a chemical smell coming from two barrels. As a result, a travel advisory was issued for East 4th Street and Tobacco Road since there were concerns the contents of the barrels could be explosive or emit dangerous fumes. Motorists avoided the area until a HAZMAT team requested by Laurel County Emergency Management Director Abbey Hale arrived from Somerset to examine the barrels.
The barrels were found to contain a resin solution, which is highly flammable and can emit hazardous vapors. There were four empty 55 gallon drums of resin solution that contained vapors only and five buckets containing Methyl Methacrylate, which is a concrete sealer, that were full, though not leaking. They, too, are highly flammable, and the vapors are harmful, according to Root. The Environmental Protection Agency took custody of those buckets, and the scene was cleared around 7 p.m.
Sizemore was charged on a bench warrant for tampering with physical evidence. He was jailed in the Laurel County Correctional Center.
The investigation continues by Detective Jason Back to determine why the items were in the trailer. He is also working to verify the trailer was stolen.
Capt. Rodney Van Zant and Deputy Shane Rice are assisting in the investigation.
Undercover drug operation results in arrest
An undercover drug operation resulted in the arrest of a London man Monday evening, according to Laurel County Sheriff John Root.
Detective Jason Back along with Capt. Rodney Van Zant arrested Christopher S. Bobbitt, 26, following an undercover drug investigation where 132 oxycodone pills were sold to an undercover sheriff's detective.
Bobbitt was charged with first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance, first offense. He was jailed in the Laurel County Correctional Center.
Another man who wasn't named was also arrested, and an investigation involving him continues.
Traffic stop results in arrest
A Tuesday afternoon traffic stop led to the arrest of a Williamsburg man, according to Laurel County Sheriff John Root.
Deputy Larry Parrott, along with detective Jason Back, arrested Jerry W. Owens, 60, after a traffic stop on Sheffield Place on Tuesday around 2:42 p.m.
Deputies learned Owens was smoking a meth pipe. Testing of the pipe determined it contained methamphetamine.
Owens was charged with operating a motor vehicle under the influence as well as resisting arrest since Root said Owens struggled with officers while being arrested.
Owens was also charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and first-degree possession of a controlled substance. He was jailed in the Laurel County Correctional Center.

Un Ballo In Maschera
Although it was to take over two years between the time of the commission and its premiere performance, that took place at the Teatro Apollo in Rome on 17 February 1859.
Scribe wrote about the assassination in 1792 of King Gustav III of Sweden who was killed as the result of a political conspiracy against him. He was shot while attending a masked ball and died 13 days later of his wounds.
In order to become the Un ballo in maschera which we know today, Verdi's opera was forced to undergo a significant series of transformations, caused by a combination of censorship regulations in both Naples and Rome, as well as by the political situation in France in January 1858.

Newsletter #52
Dear AWS Community,
This month we are excited to highlight several new services and features that can help companies migrate to the AWS cloud and utilize their existing infrastructure management practices: Amazon Virtual Private Cloud, Multi-Factor Authentification, and Access Credential Rotation. We are also excited to announce the new AWS Solution Providers Program for Independent Software Vendors and Systems Integrators that are building services and solutions on top of AWS. Be sure to check out upcoming events and webinars, including new AWS User Group meetings in Tel Aviv, Buenos Aires, Berlin, and Chicago, and our Solution Providers Webinar Series.
To keep you up-to-date, here are the latest news items and announcements from AWS.
Introducing Amazon Virtual Private Cloud
Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) enables your business to connect your existing infrastructure to a set of isolated AWS compute resources via a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection, and to extend your existing management capabilities such as security services, firewalls, and intrusion detection systems to include your AWS resources. Today, Amazon VPC integrates with Amazon EC2 compute resources, and we plan to integrate with other AWS services in the future. You can now apply for access to the limited beta on the Amazon VPC product page.
Announcing the AWS Solution Providers Program
The AWS Solution Providers Program serves a growing community of Independent Software Vendors and Systems Integrators that offer a rich set of solutions and consulting services on AWS. Benefits to program members include listing in the AWS Solution Providers Directory and use of the exclusive AWS Solution Provider logo. For more information and to apply, visit the AWS Solution Providers Program page.
AWS Multi-Factor Authentication (AWS MFA)
AWS Multi-Factor Authentication (AWS MFA) is now available and offers an additional layer of security and enhanced control over your AWS account settings. It is an opt-in account feature that requires a valid six-digit, single-use code from an authentication device in your physical possession, in addition to your standard AWS account credentials, before access is granted to your AWS account settings. To learn more about and to begin using this important security feature, visit aws.amazon.com/mfa.
Seamlessly Rotate Your Access Credentials
We have now made it much easier for you to rotate your access credentials (AWS Access Key ID or X.509 Certificate), enabling you to further secure your assets in the AWS cloud. You can now request a new access credential while keeping your existing one active, without any incurring any downtime to your applications. Learn more by visiting the Security Credentials page (login required).
AWS Import/Export Enters Unlimited Beta, Adds Export for Amazon S3
AWS Import/Export has entered unlimited beta and now supports export from Amazon S3. AWS Import/Export accelerates moving large amounts of data into and out of AWS using portable storage devices for transport. For significant data sets, AWS Import/Export is often faster than Internet transfer and more cost effective than upgrading your connectivity. You can use AWS Import/Export for migrating data into the cloud, sending backups to AWS, and restoring data locally.
AWS Management Console Adds Support for Amazon CloudWatch
We're excited to announce that the AWS Management Console has added support for Amazon CloudWatch, a web service that provides monitoring for AWS cloud resources starting with Amazon EC2. Now you can use a simple, point-and-click web interface to enable monitoring for your Amazon EC2 instances and view real-time operational metrics for Amazon EC2. Access to the AWS Management Console is provided free of charge.
New Lower Prices for Amazon EC2 Reserved Instances
We have recently lowered the one-time fee for all Amazon EC2 Reserved Instances by 30%. We continuously strive to be more efficient, and to pass cost savings on to you in the form of lower prices. With Linux Amazon EC2 Reserved Instances, you could reduce the cost of your instance usage by up to 56% compared to an On-Demand Instance. We hope that you take advantage of the price savings of Reserved Instances today!
AWS Start-Up Challenge Deadline Extended to September 25, 2009
We want to remind start-up leaders in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and Israel to enter their business ideas or existing start-ups for a chance to win $50,000 in cash and $50,000 in AWS credits. The deadline to enter has been extended to September 25. To learn more and enter the competition, visit the AWS Start-Up Challenge home page.
Here are a few highlights and new additions to our Developer Resource Center.
Saving iPhone Data on Amazon S3
Even the largest-capacity Apple iPhone can quickly run out of storage. In this article, Martin Streicher, former Editor-in-Chief of Linux Magazine, provides some proof-of-concept sample code demonstrating how a developer can use Amazon S3 to store and retrieve data via an iPhone.
Amazon VPC Libraries
Create your own Virtual Private Cloud on Amazon EC2 using one of the available libraries: Java, C#, VB.Net, Perl, PHP.
AMIs from Sybase
Sybase has recently announced the availability of Sybase® SQL Anywhere®, Sybase IQ, and Sybase Adaptive Server® Enterprise for Amazon EC2. Find these AMIs on the Sybase website.
Check out what your peers have built with AWS. If you have a web application built on top of AWS or a tool that helps others integrate with AWS, submit your entry to the Solutions Catalog.

World Series trash talk from the C-suiteOctober 23, 2013: 5:02 PM ET
In anticipation of this month's World Series matchup, we spoke to executive baseball fans in Boston and St. Louis and sought their predictions. They gave some taunts, too.
By Daniel Roberts, writer-reporter
FORTUNE -- "Boston is better for beer, baseball, and business, and this year is no exception." So says Brian Halligan, CEO of Boston-based software maker HubSpot.
That's big talk, but this year's compelling MLB World Series matchup tends to bring it out in people. It's a rematch of the 2004 Fall Classic, in which the Red Sox won their first World Series in 86 years, and adds to a robust postseason rivalry between the two teams. The storylines are plenty: It's a St. Louis squad of outstanding rookies facing a Boston team that only one year ago finished with an abysmal record amid negative press. (Fried chicken; beer; dugout; you remember.) It's St. Louis barbecue vs. New England clam chowder. Budweiser vs. Sam Adams. Clean-cut rookies vs. bearded veterans.
Here at Fortune we're interested in the business side of things and wondered: Which local businesses have some skin in the game? And could we get them to talk some smack or make a bold call? Anheuser-Busch was just one of many companies we tried that are based in St. Louis, with its old-guard business scene, and in Boston, a rapidly growing tech hub.

Another tech company that has been in Boston since its inception in 2002 is online home goods seller Wayfair. Its cofounder and CEO Niraj Shah, No. 32 on this year's 40 Under 40 list, grew up in Pittsfield, Mass., and has a home on Cape Cod. Shah says Wayfair has four season tickets to Fenway Park and for the playoffs the company runs an internal raffle, with winning employees getting seriously fired up.
Shah tells Fortune his own clearest Red Sox memory is from 2004, when he attended Game 4 of the ALCS with his Wayfair co-founder and Cornell pal Steve Conine. The Sox were down three games to none against the Yankees in a must-win situation, and fans will remember well what happened: The Sox won that game, won three more, and went on to sweep the Cardinals in the World Series.
That was an especially significant game for Shah, because his wife was pregnant at the time (she stayed home). "It was a chilly night, and the game went long; over five hours," recalls Shah. After they got the win, "I remember the excitement in the city. It was unbelievable. The Red Sox went on to easily beat the Cardinals in four straight games. I hope the 2013 Cardinals will be just as easy."

They won't be, if you ask a Cardinals fan. Shah predicts the Red Sox will win in five games, but David Farr, CEO of St. Louis-based Emerson Electric (EMR), thinks the Cardinals are a sure bet. "There is no town and no team like St. Louis and the Cardinals," says Farr, who is captured behind home plate, arms up, in a St. Louis Post-Dispatch photo from NLCS Game 6. "I will be watching it all and cheering louder than anyone in hopes that we clobber the ball and the Sox and bring another Series home and add another World Series flag at the top of Busch Stadium."
Meanwhile, communications firm FleishmanHillard's offices in St. Louis and in Boston have turned the rivalry into a bet. Robert Dowling, president of the agency's east region, and based in Boston, will have to deliver to Susan Veidt, president of the central region, a round of Sam Adams for the whole office if the Cardinals win; if it's the Sox, Veidt will send toasted ravioli, a St. Louis staple, to the Boston offices.
Halligan, of HubSpot, is a bit more conservative with his prediction: He says the series will go all seven games, but perhaps that's because he has tickets to Game 7 at Fenway if that scenario happens. Still, the company is taking no chances: Its CEO is a baseball stats geek who frequently references baseball in staff meetings, and during the 2009 season the company made employee shirts that recast HubSpot's logo in the Red Sox font; staffers jokingly referred to themselves as HubSox Nation. "The complaint you hear about baseball as America's pastime is that it can be boring," says Halligan, "but this year's team has been just the opposite. From the beards to hitting bombs and winning games in the ninth inning, it's hard to argue with their success and grit."
MORE: Jack Dorsey: The pride of St. Louis
One of the oldest and biggest employers in the St. Louis metro area is Anheuser-Busch (BUD). (See: "Brewmaster of the universe.") And Busch is, after all, the name that graces the Cardinals' home field. Jim Brickey, the company's chief people officer, was born and raised in the city and remembers hiding under his covers and listening to the radio on headphones during late-night games. "My dad would take me to Cardinals games when I was a kid, and those memories are very special to me," says Brickey. "In 1998, I took my dad to the last game of the season when Mark McGwire hit home run number 70. It was the last Cardinals game he was able to attend." Brickey thinks that the Cardinals will be "looking to avenge the 2004 World Series" and will thus take it in six games.
At the St. Louis headquarters of agriculture giant Monsanto (MON), the food services staff donned Cardinals hats and jerseys today. Brett Begemann, COO, says "I'll be at Monday night's game at Busch Stadium. Even better is that on Saturday I'll not only get the chance to cheer on the Cardinals, but also root on our 7-0 Missouri Tigers as they go for the win over South Carolina. There is no doubt it's great to be a Missouri sports fan this October." His call? Cardinals in six games.
Jack Dorsey, cofounder of Twitter and CEO of Square, may be based in San Francisco, but it's no secret that he's from St. Louis. He's also notoriously press-shy; he declined to speak with Fortune about the series, but he has tweeted regularly about his Cardinals. "Cards go to the World Series!" he tweeted when his hometown team finished off the Dodgers. "4th time in 10 years. Go STL @cardinals!" On August 28, one night before a Square "town hall" in St. Louis (attended by his parents), Dorsey brought some of his employees to a Cardinals vs. Cincinnati Reds game at Busch Stadium and tweeted a quirky photo of the field and his face hidden by a Cards hat. And although we couldn't get him to talk any smack, we have a feeling that if his team does win, you might see some slightly more colorful tweets from the Square CEO.
Oh, and Tom Brady's forecast? The New England Patriots QB -- who has been involved with companies like Under Armour, Ugg, and Movado in the past -- says Red Sox in five.

Have you heard about The Crochet Project yet? It's a new seasonal online collection of downloadable crochet patterns. Their first collection comes out really soon and they are currently taking pattern submissions from designers for their fall collection.
The Crochet Project
From the website:
"The Crochet Project is a new seasonal online collection of downloadable PDF patterns. The aim of The Crochet Project is to promote beautiful, modern crochet patterns to the online market."
This project is the brainchild of Joanne Scrace (of Not So Granny) and Kat Goldin (of Slugs on the Refrigerator). Joanne says: "We are both passionate about crochet design and felt that the crochet market was lagging behind the knitting one in terms of wearable, on-trend designs and quality production."
March Crochet Pattern Collection
From the press release for The Crochet Project:
"The Crochet Project will launch its first collection of 10 pieces around the theme Botanics in March 2013. The colour palette is soft and pretty; sage greens, oysters, taupes, pinks and lilacs with a dash of navy and dark green for a crisp finish – perfect for Spring and Summer. Designs include garments and accessories for women and girls."
Note: They're based in the UK, but the crochet patterns are going to be written in both UK and US crochet terms.
Calls for Crochet Pattern Submissions
The next collection comes out in the fall. Crochet pattern submissions are due March 25th and projects are due in early July. I do know that this project is trying to highlight UK designers, but I don't know if they also accept crochet patterns from designers around the world so you'll want to double-check that if you're thinking about submitting a pattern. Learn more about the submission requirements and compensation from The Crochet Project.
The Crochet Project Blog
Finally I just wanted to give a quick mention of support for the blog on The Crochet Project website where they talk about a variety of different things but often include great tips and information on topics like getting the right drape with crochet.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by bayouyogini Long enough to teach and play in! My biggest issue as an instructor is finding shorts that are long enough. Booty shorts are very popular for class participants, but as an instructor I always have to er on the side of conservative for my students comfort. This short is the perfect length for squats, dead lifts with no peek a boo, I can even do a straddle in them for cool down. I was worried that they where not lined, but if you wear tech undies it's no big deal, and they don't show through. 4/7/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Hammer27 Lightweight and very comfortable! I love wearing these shorts! The length is great; it seems like many shorts out there are super short. The waistband is very comfortable! 4/9/14
Rated 4 out of 5Â by findingneema Good shorts, just big I am generally a size 2 and the size S for shorts ran big on me, but luckily they have drawstrings so still usable and comfortable :) 6/6/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Diedra13 The Core Play Dry Short is very comfortable I wear the Core Play Dry Short for Crossfit workouts. They don't ride up, they don't bind and they move with me whether I am doing squats, TGU's or cleans....whatever movement the workout requires they are very comfortable. 6/20/13
Rated 5 out of 5Â by sillycfgirl Bought these on a whim I bought these shorts on a whim. I usually wear tighter compression shorts when doing CrossFit but these were a pleasant surprise and a change of pace. They are very comfortable and move well. 6/19/13
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Julzhoff Not only were the shorts more than I expected, the customer service rocks! I originally ordered the wrong size, and needed to exchange. Customer service was head and shoulders above any other company I have dealt with recently. They restored my faith that it really does exist. 4/16/14
Rated 4 out of 5Â by LalasFit Needs a liner! These run a bit large, so be sure to order a size smaller than you normally would. There isn't a liner in these, that would be the one feature that would certainly increase their value. 4/16/14
Rated 4 out of 5Â by runnerinboston comfy shorts not what i was expecting but it's well constructed and comfortable. definitely runs big. 4/17/14
Rated 2 out of 5Â by crossfitwarrior Not what I expected Overall not too happy with this product. The shorts are too slippery and every time I squatted they ran really low from behind. I had to where a long shirt in order to avoid showing my undergarments. I had purchased other compression shorts that I was happy with but these are not to my liking. 3/11/14
Rated 5 out of 5 by Aloul great pair of shorts and very comfortable. love the colorsâ¦â¦.. 4/4/14

I just purchased a new Polk RM705 system that I hooked up on a new Yamaha rx673 receiver that I also received last week. It's my first time setting up a surround sound system but I'm pretty confident everything was set-up correctly with 14ga cables.
I wanted to hear the loudness of the system so I cranked it up to about 15db but one of the speakers broke. So now, it still plays but sounds cracked when loud noises are output. So what happened? And is that a defect in the speaker or the result of my actions?
Also, when putting no music at all but cranking the volume, I hear a 'chhhhhhhh' from all speakers. Is that normal? I tought no noises at all would come out of the speakers until a real output is sent from the receiver?!?
Anyway, please give me answers on why my speaker broke please.

So Durham's planners and county commissioners have created clarity by putting five street names where there used to be one. It actually makes a kind of sense (see story on this page), even if a couple of the newly named dead-end after 100 yards or so.
Which is a lot more than can be said for some of Durham's other byways, highways and nomenclature.
In Durham, one name may apply to two or more lengths of pavement -- Glendale Avenue, for example, comes in triplicate. On the other hand, what appears continuous asphalt on the ground may go by multiple street signs: for example, the Swift-Broad-Kenan thoroughfare running (in reverse order) from Duke Homestead Road south to Duke University Road.
Duke University Road, now, dead-ends on the west at the point where Cameron Boulevard somehow becomes Academy Road but is just as well known as 751 either way.
To the east, D.U. Road morphs into (of all things) Chapel Hill Street, not to be confused with Chapel Hill Road, Old Chapel Hill Road or Chapel Hill Boulevard, which is also known as 15-501 Business (not to be confused with 15-501 Bypass).
To keep it straight, remember that what looks like a continuation of Chapel Hill Street to Chapel Hill Road is actually Kent (which used to be Cameron) Street, and Chapel Hill Road is separated from Old Chapel Hill Road by a block or two of University Drive, not to be confused with Duke University Road, much less Duke Street.
In some cases, history has an explanation. Portions of the Downtown Loop go by "Ramseur," "Roxboro," "Morgan" and "Great Jones," as if to suggest the city's inner street system didn't always go around in circles. The two Acadia Streets and Erwin Roads were one of each before Solomonic highway planners cut them in two -- with, respectively, the U.S. 70/I-85 and 15-501 Bypass corridors -- and left them in that condition for the wonder of future generations.
That information isn't much help, of course, if you're trying to get to Sam's Quik Shop and find yourself halfway to Chapel Hill. In such cases, changing names might have been in order, and it's not like The City of Exciting Stores hadn't had practice. Chapel Hill Street used to be Green; Campus Drive was Myrtle; South Roxboro (the part uptown, not the part in Hope Valley Farms) used to be Pine Street, South Mangum was McMannen and, before that, Shake Rag; Pettigrew was Dog Trot and Dillard Street, Henpeck Row.
Then again, changing names isn't always such a hot idea. In the past few years, local boosters have boosted "Innovation Highway" for the Durham Freeway (aka "N.C. 147," aka "Buck Dean Freeway"), which hardly made an impression. As Grandpa Jones used to say, Merely foolish.

Point Spread: +2/-105 Michigan
Michigan Wolverines +2
The Wolverines have put a couple early losses to Alabama and Notre Dame - teams that are a combined 14-0 - behind them and have gotten off to a 3-0 start in Big Ten play. After blowing out Purdue and Illinois, the Wolverines picked up a hard-earned 12-10 win against rival Michigan State last week.
Michigan racked up 326 yards on the Spartans' 5th-ranked defense, which allows just 277.1 yards per game. It will be even more explosive Saturday against a Nebraska stop unit that ranks 44th nationally with 357.6 yards allowed per game.
The Huskers have really struggled to slow down rushing attacks. In fact, they rank 93rd in the nation against the run with 187.9 yards allowed per game. They have their work cut out for themselves against a Michigan running game that has averaged 248.2 yards over its last six games.
The Wolverines gashed the Cornhuskers for 238 yards on the ground in last season's 45-17 victory.
Like Michigan, Nebraska is also very dependent on its running game. The Huskers rank 6th in the country with 279.0 rushing yards per contest, but they'll get nothing easy against the nation's 10th-ranked defense, which only allows 285.3 yards per game.
The Wolverines are giving up 143.0 yards per game on the ground this season. They held Nebraska to just 138 rushing yards last season. The Huskers could really be in a world of hurt if Rex Burkhead isn't able to go. He is doubtful following last week's knee injury.
While I expect Nebraska to be more competitive at home than it was last season in the Big House, I ultimately have it coming up short to what I believe to be a more complete football team on both sides of the ball.
Teams coached by Brady Hoke are 15-4 ATS all-time when matched up against good rushing teams that average 4.75 yards or more per carry. His teams have won in this situation by an average score of 29.4 to 25.1. Take Michigan.

Know someone perfect for this career?
You're going head-to-head, face-to-face and toe-to-toe in order to have a heart-to-heart with the devil. (Well maybe he doesn't have a heart, but you get the idea). There has got to be some stress involved in this—don't kid yourself. This job will exhaust you physically as well as mentally, and you can bet it will tax you emotionally and spiritually. Demons calling out your weaknesses, your foibles, and your past indiscretions will challenge your body and your mind, and force you to confront things about yourself and the world for which you may be unprepared.
Word of advice: get ready for it and don't go in unawares or you may not come out the same person you were.

I find that I tend to get Costo when I'm in a IBS flare and every now and again when in a fibro flare.
And ouch, it does hurt. It fools a lot of people who think it's a heart pain or heart attack, but no, it's costo. But you need to check it out each time as the pain is too close to that of a real heart attack.
I've been been told to take OTC pain relievers such as Advil or Aleve, as directed and I have also been given Voltaren Cream, sparingly to the rib cage 2 times a day. And when I say use the cream sparingly I mean that.
The cream although wonderful goes straight to the liver and if you use more than just a small dab smeared around the effected area of the rib cage you can damage, and I do mean damage your liver. So I use it only when my costo starts, first day or two, and the pain eases and I soon forget about it.
Maybe you can as your PCP about a small sample?
Hope this is of some help to you.
I had these problems from constipation, gas and bloating for a long time, but after observing a daily basis what food caused these symptoms, I realized that gluten was one of the villains. I stopped eating foods containing gluten, I'm great!
I suggest you watch every day, the appearance of any of these symptoms after meals and record what food caused discomfort. Stay a while without eating the food that caused the symptoms, and after a few days, go back to eating. If the symptoms return halt.
A natural laxative hint: break 01 in 04 plum parts, put a glass of water and refrigerate for 12 hours. Fasting, drink this water.
Take care!
Sorry! I am Brazilian and I do not speak English. Use the online translator to communicate with you.
What I do know is that before menopause, I had almost unbearable cramps with IBS, followed by diarrhea, and constipation a day or two later. I remember lying in bed with a moist heating pad, trying not to move at all, because any little movement would arouse that toromenting pain to start again. Although it often seemed to start right under the ribcage, I don't recall any pain going into my back, but into my digestive system, with much bloating and cramping involved. Although the medical community reminds us that IBS is not a serious disease, unlike diverticulitis or Chron's, It had to be up there in the Top 3 experiences of acute pain I ever experienced in my life, along with childbirth and broken bones. I was so debiliated by the pain, I couldn't take care of my family, which only produced more stress and pain. What we women have had to endure would surely boggle a man's mind!
If your PT knows how to alleviate trigger points and can show you how to at home, then that would be an easy fix. I think it's more likely that IBS causes trigger points - just one more thing to contend with!
I remember that times of deep stress, hot, humid weather and extreme cold seemed to trigger a bout with IBS. My daughter, who lives in Tokyo (and also has fibromyalgia), is having enormous muscle and IBS pain right now, because the heat and humidity is almost unbearable in that city of seemingly unending streets filled with highrise buildings that block the sea breeze, miles of pavement that soak up the heat, and AC units blowing hot air out of the buildings into the streets.
I offer you hope that the pain will get better over time, the IBS will come less often and not as severe, and you will find yourself a much stronger person because you weathered it all, including the disbelief by others that your pain can't be that severe. Blessings to you as you travel this road.
I saw a gastro a few years ago, and the meds she gave me for the IBS made me sick, but I kept them for awhile in case I got desperate. As long as I know I've eaten something irritating I stay close to 'good' ladies rooms, and I know where most are in my community.
Thank you for posting this!! I will be taking it to my doctor!!

The fourth Thursday in November is a time to give thanks – for lumpy gravy and antacid tablets.
While the economy remains drier than an overcooked turkey, Thanksgiving is a chance to take our elbows off the table in appreciation of the simple things.
Food, fellowship and football add up to a day of thankful reflection and belt-loosening indigestion.
Thanksgiving smacks of conspicuous consumption in the guise of a national holiday.
Here's food for thought: According to the Caloric Control Council, the average American packs away more than 4,500 calories and 229 fat grams on Thanksgiving Day.
The fat content alone is akin to noshing three sticks of butter. How about an angioplasty with those mashed potatoes?
I find myself hungering for a Thanksgiving stuffed with tradition – and not just the age-old white or dark meat dilemma.
My family and I are Jell-O-salad-with-banana-slices Thanksgiving traditionalists.
We are not alone in our staunch adherence to tried and true with all the trimmings. According to Internet-based statistics culled from sources more questionable than mincemeat pie, 91 percent of Americans eat turkey on Thanksgiving Day.
We did try the other 9 percent. However, no one likes to talk about the Tofurky incident of 2003 – not even the vegetarians.
Our Thanksgiving spread is part of the 40 million green bean casserole contingency. However, dried French onions versus potato chips topping can be a contentious table topic. At least my uncles no longer arm wrestle over the turkey gizzard.
While my generation outgrew the kids' card table decades ago, the Thanksgiving carving knife was just recently passed down. It seems the "kids" had to be over 40 before being entrusted with a sharp utensil.
At this rate, my 10-year-old daughter won't slice a turkey until 2042. I might not have my own teeth by then.
Honestly, I'm fine with taking a Thanksgiving backseat – as long as I can reach the stuffing.
After the last gravy soaked plate is cleared, it's time for the post-Thanksgiving dinner ritual.
First, your belt is let out a few notches – unless you had the gluttonous foresight to wear sweatpants. You then fall into a couch cushion or a nearby first cousin.
To make the most of your tryptophan food nap, you'll need one last sleep aid: Detroit Lions football.
By the annual fourth-quarter debacle, Thanksgiving comes full circle around the dessert table.
Three hours ago you were inhaling a fistful of black olives; now you can barely stomach the thought of pumpkin pie.
It makes me wonder how the first Thanksgiving celebration lasted three days. I guess the pilgrims knew how to pace their intake of seethed lobster and herbs.
The New World may have offered a cornucopia of thanksgiving, but it lacked 24-hour convenience stores and antacid tablets.
Thankfully, or not, we lack neither.

U.S. Census data show Iowa household incomes have risen, but so has the percentage of Iowans living in poverty.
According to the Des Moines Register, census reports say the median household income in Iowa climbed less than $1,000 between 2007 and 2009, as the poverty rate was rising nearly a percentage point.
Iowa median household income in 2009 was a little over $48,000, compared with the national figure of a little over $50,200.
Last year's poverty rate in Iowa was 11.8 percent, compared with 11 percent two years earlier. Last year's national poverty rate was 14.3 percent.
Iowa State University economist David Swenson told the Register that Iowa's economy didn't expand as rapidly as the economies of some other states, "and therefore it didn't have to contract as sharply."
