York City manager Gary Mills ponders return of Jonathan Smith and Lee Bullock
10:09am Friday 30th November 2012 in News By Dave Flett, Sports reporter
DANNY Kearns' departure from York City could see midfield pair Jonathan Smith and Lee Bullock both return to Bootham Crescent next week.
The npower Championship outfit Peterborough have recalled Kearns from his loan spell with City and Gary Mills could now follow suit by cutting short Smith and Bullock's temporary stints at Luton and Gateshead respectively.
Neither player can be brought back prior to tomorrow's clash at Rochdale, however, where Paddy McLaughlin and vice-captain Scott Kerr will come into contention for midfield starting places.
On Kearns' exit and the possible repercussions for Smith and Bullock, City chief Mills said: "To get the phone call about Kearnsy was a disappointment because he's been doing well and gave us something a bit different but those are the rules.
"There's also an option for us to bring back Jonathan Smith on Monday and we could do the same with Bully, who I'm getting good reports about from Gateshead. They are both getting games which is important and it might be time to bring one or both of them back but we will be fine tomorrow.
"We've still got options and I made a decision, along with my coaching staff, straight away about who will play instead and we've worked on that in training."
On the prospect of Northern Ireland under-21 skipper McLaughlin starting for the first time in five matches, Mills added: "There's a possibility Paddy will play. He's champing at the bit to get back in. He went away with Northern Ireland and I've left him out for a couple of games so it might be time to bring him back."
The City boss also added he had not ruled out bringing Kearns back to North Yorkshire once the transfer window reopens in January, saying: "He's a quality player who was getting better and better so we will have to see whether he comes back at some stage because, if players of his ability become available again, you want to bring them back."
On-loan Aldershot striker Alex Rodman, meanwhile, could also be missing at Spotland, along with six-goal top scorer Ashley Chambers with both players having joined fellow forward Oli Johnson in the treatment room.
"We've got a little bit of a problem with Ashley Chambers (stomach) and Alex Rodman (hamstring)," Mills revealed.
"Neither of them trained yesterday and they are two wide players so that could be an issue for us because Johnson is still injured as well – I've forgotten his first name because it's been that long since I've seen him.
"But, if they're all unavailable, it just means somebody else getting a chance."
A recall for £60,000 striker Jason Walker would be one option.
Walker has started on the bench for the last two matches having previously been an ever-present in City's 2012/13 starting line-ups and Mills said: "Players have to realise that they have jobs to do.
"Jason's first job is to score goals but his other attributes such as holding the ball up, making life difficult for defenders and linking up with the wide-men and midfielders are also important. He's got to do that better than he was doing before I left him out and he knows that."
Despite a run of seven games without a win, Mills insisted the reason for the team's disappointing sequence of results is one that can be more easily addressed than others.
"When you're not winning games, you look at reasons why and the main reason is we are not putting our chances away," the City manager reiterated.
"That has to be one of the most positive reasons you can have for not winning games and, as I've said before, there's no major crisis. Our shape could be better when we haven't got the ball and that could be the second explanation, behind not taking our chances, for not winning games.
"But there could be a lot more concerning reasons such as a lack of form, poor passing or our final ball not being good enough and nothing has changed for me. We've played well this season and should have had more wins but we've got to get back to putting those balls in the back of the net.
"We are 19 games in and we've got our game in hand on most teams tomorrow so it's an important match. We are sitting 17th but are just six points behind Rochdale, who are eighth.
"That shows how close things are but it's all right talking about if we win, we have to start winning."
Having failed to win a single game during the club's charity efforts for Movember, Mills also joked he will be pleased to his see players clean shaven for the first day of the new month.
He said: "I can't wait to get rid of the moustaches. Maybe they are the real reason why we've had a bad November."

Can anybody who gets to more games than I can tell me why McLaughlin hasn't been in the team anyway ? Kearns looked very good every time I saw him play but Paddy is a very good player too so I for one will be very glad to see him back in the starting XI

The man is a born leader and you only have to see the shock and disbelief on his face at the final whistle at Wembley to see how much City going up meant to him. I would imagine he's been sounded out for other jobs on a few occasions and the short memories of some fans will be eroding his loyalty to this club.
If I was him, I'd be thinking I've given my all for these people and soon as the chips are down they turn. Born losers!

On a different note, forgive me as I've only supported City for 20 of my 26 years so I don't qualify for the "middle-age moaners club" that are at every home game and most away, they seem to have something against Gary Mills, is he the same bloke that got us out of the conference? The league that many, many others contributed to taking us to and failing to get us out
of! Some people have unbelievably short memories! I hear Chambers getting slated every week, he's our top scorer! Admittedly he's out of form but if ever there was a player who needed confidence not 3000 people on his back, it's Ash! We have a number of players who, unfortunately, are conference players, I'm sure Mills will rectify this at the end of the season. We'll stay up, we just need EVERYONE behind the team. See you all at Rochdale tomorrow.
Challinor, any 2 centre halves (none of them are good enough) Fyfield

frustrated with GM (like many others) with his Team selections, Tactics, playing players out of position etc. To start with we need a solid but creative Midfield with genuine Midfielders eg. Kerr, Paddy, JSmith(Get him back like yesterday), Pottsy as cover and get them 15 yards further up field, we,ve been playing too deep, (that's what you get playing Defenders in Midfield).
Blair up front but closer to Walker/Reed/Chambers
What about 3 Centre Backs ? Doig, Smith & Parslow/McGurk & 2 free to attack Wing Backs Banjo & Fyfield (How much do we miss Meredith?)
And get it on the floor and give it time to work. If it was only that simple.

e that we are in this league through our footballing abilities and other than the poor performance against AFC Wimbledon, there has been no opposition we have been out of our depth with and on another day, could well have beaten a few more teams than we have! The Dale will be a good test today and I would go for- Inghy, Oyebanjo, Smith, Doig, Fyfield, Parslow, Kerr, MacLaughlin, Rodman(if fit), Walker and Blair. COYR.

Glad to report that the weather's improved slightly over here in North Manchester so hopefully the game will go ahead. Forecast is 3 degrees but feeling like zero, so if you've followed Scott Kerr's advice and 'grown a pair' make sure you wrap them up well.

Bernardo Martinez, the 37-year-old Cicero man who died last week after falling into a chemical tank at a Wheeling factory, suffered multiple head injuries after falling into the tank from the structure's 50 foot top, the Journal & Topics reports.
Martinez' employer, Phoenix Industrial cleaning, has set aside financial support for the man's wife and two children, the Journal & Topics reports.
When fire crews first arrived at the Sunnyside Corporate in Wheeling where the accident happened, it was clear to them almost immediately that the victim could not be saved, according to Wheeling fire chief Keith MacIsaac.
When Martinez' body was recovered, he was not wearing protective gear meant to help people work in those chemical conditions, according to an ABC affiliate in Missouri.

Springfield, Mass. - April 5, 2013 - The Springfield College baseball team was defeated by visiting Babson College, 7-3, at Berry-Allen Field in New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) action.
With the loss Springfield dropped to 7-10 overall and 4-7 in the conference and Babson improved to 10-8 overall and 4-5 in the conference.
Babson never trailed in the game and got the scoring off in the second when Dillon Gonzalez singled to right field to drive in Sean MacPhee. The Beavers added a pair of runs in the second, thanks to consecutive RBI doubles from Chris Kutcher and Conor Kortman.
Babson put the game away in the ninth when Kutcher doubled in two runs and later scored on Kortmann's single. Kutcher and Kortmann led the Beavers offense combining for six hits and six runs batted in. Trevor Boyce chipped in with three hits and two runs.
For Springfield, Frank Calabrese crossed the plate on a wild pitch in the third and also singled in a run in the fourth and in the ninth. Catcher Sean Smith had a big day from behind the plate, throwing out three Babson base runners.
Babson owned a 15-7 advantage in hits for the game, with Calabrese recording a pair for the hosts.
Derek Richards earned his second win this season, going 8.2 innings surrendering three runs and striking out 11 for Babson. Greg Marakovits took the loss, as he went 8.1 innings allowing seven runs on 15 hits fanning five.
The Pride plays a doubleheader tomorrow at Babson Park first pitch 12:00 pm.

By Bob Hertzel
Times West Virginian
Another op'nin', another show
In Philly, Boston or Baltimo',
A chance for stage folks to say hello,
Another op'nin' of another show.
— "Another Op'nin', Another Show," from the Broadway musical, "Kiss Me Kate"
Opening night. Nothing like it, be it a Broadway opening or a movie premier.
Or the first day of the rest of a baseball player's life.
It's an evening when glamor and nerves co-exist, when the past means nothing and the future dissipates into a meaningless mist.
Only the present exists.
And so it was for Gerrit Cole, pitching phenom of the Pittsburgh Pirates, a No. 1 choice with a 100-mile-an-hour fastball.
He had ridden the Major League Express through the minor leagues and then, somewhere around 7:10 on a humid Tuesday evening, the strains of the National Anthem having faded into another night at the ball park for the veterans on the field behind him and in the other dugout, he found himself alone on the hill in the midst of the infield in the best baseball stadium in America, ready to throw his first pitch.
This was Gerrit Cole against the world, but he was hardly alone out there. In truth, every man who had ever pitched in the major leagues had gone through the same thing, perhaps not always with the hype surrounding this debut, but everyone from Hall of Famer to total failures had made a debut.
How would his stack up to the hard-throwing Hall of Famers who had come before him, men whose fastballs were legendary and who would perform feats no one could imagine a pitcher performing.
o June 24, 1955, Brooklyn at Milwaukee, fifth inning, trailing 6-0, a 19-year-old left-handed bonus baby out of the University of Cincinnati would come on in relief.
His name was Sandy Koufax.
The first batter he faced was Johnny Logan, who singled, and now he stood there looking at a pair of Hall of Famers in Eddie Mathews and Hank Aaron, followed by the home run hero Bobby Thomson and Joe Adcock, a man who would hit four home runs and a double in a game and had broken up Harvey Haddix's perfect game in the 13th inning.
But not a one of them would get a hit off Koufax, who went on to pitch two scoreless innings allowing only Logan's hit and walk to Aaron.
o April 12, 1965, not every Hall of Famers debut was like Koufax's.
Steve Carlton made his debut at Wrigley Field for the Cardinals, came on in a game that would end, 10-10, replacing Barney Schultz.
The score was tied, a runner was at second, power-hitting left-handed first baseman George Altman was at the plate.
The 20-year-old Carlton's job was to get him out.
He didn't. He walked him and was replaced, facing one batter in his debut.
o Bob Gibson was 23 when he faced his first major league batter in the Los Angeles Coliseum with its 230-foot left field fence and he must have wondered what he gotten himself into for Jim Baxes, a career minor leaguer who was playing his only major league season, said "Welcome to the big leagues" by hitting a home run.
Baxes would bat only .246 in that but did hit 17 home runs.
Gibson would play 16 years and win 251 games.
o Randy Johnson was something of a freak when he debuted, at 6-foot-10, he was the tallest pitcher ever, maybe the hardest throwing and a 25-year-old rookie, which was old for making a debut.
The opponent on Sept. 15, 1988, for him was the Pirates and while his debut was hardly spectacular, pitching five innings of a 9-4 win, allowing six hits, a couple of runs with three walks and five strikeouts.
The first batter he faced was John Cangelosi, who grounded out to second, and he also was touched for his first home run, this by Glenn Wilson.
o Times change. There was a time when everyone believed Walter Johnson and Bob Feller were the two hardest throwers the game had ever seen.
Certainly, Johnson threw hard for his time, right from the start when as a 19-year-old he pitched and won Washington's opener, 3-2. But it was 1907 and let's just say the players were different.
Johnson was considered a big man, but at 6-1 and 200 he wasn't Randy Johnson. Consider this when wondering just how hard Johnson threw … there were 99 players debut in the major leagues in 2007 and only 24 of them were 6-foot or taller, none taller than 6-3 and only four listed at 200 pounds.
None were more than 200 pounds and one, an infielder named John Kane, was listed at 138 pounds.
Feller could throw hard. That was documented by rudimentary machines that measured the speed of his pitch and by the numbers he compiled in a career interrupted by World War II.
But what of is debut?
In July 19, 1936, and Feller was a fuzzy faced 17-year-old farm boy who would pitch an inning in relief, giving up nothing worse than a couple of walks.
But Feller is remembered for his first major league start, which would come a month later.
So unsure of him was his manager Steve O'Neill, that he had another pitcher, Denny Galeouse, warm up with him in case he got in early trouble.
It was the batters who were in trouble, as Feller struck out the side in the ninth and finished with 15 strikeouts, then the most by any pitcher in big league history in his first start as he won his first major league game.
o Feller's record stood until Sept. 22, 1954, when a hard-throwing 23-year-old left-hander Dodgers' left-hander named Karl Spooner broke in against the New York Giants with a three-hitter in which he struck out 17.
He followed that up with another shutout and 12 strikeouts in other start of the year but injured his arm in spring training the following season and never was the same, retiring after the next season.
o The greatest debut belongs to Juan Marichal, the Hall of Famer, who was a 22-year-old rookie when he took the mound against the Philadelphia Phillies on July 19, 1960. All Marichal did was pitch a complete game, 2-0, one-hit shutout with one walk and 12 strikeouts.
o And then there was Cole's debut, PNC Park electric. First batter, first major league strikeout.
Second batter, first major league hit allowed.
Dominate? No, not yet.
Four hits in the first two innings, a bases-loaded jam in second, but no runs allowed.
And then, in the third, with just six professional at bats behind him and no hits, he goes up and bangs out a two-run single.
Think this wasn't his night. This first professional hit came off two-time Cy Young winner Tim Lincecum.
With the lead, Cole pounded the strike zone, throwing just 13 balls in five innings, taking a shutout into the seventh before finally being touched for a run and leaving.
A Hall of Fame debut?
Well, all we can tell you is Roger Clemens pitched 5.2 innings in his first game, gave up five runs, 11 hits, walked 3 and struck out four while pitched 6.1, gave up two runs, seven hits, no walks and two strikeouts.
We'll let you judge.

I saw any good looking woman tebowing like this, I would join her real quick! (unless wife was with me, then I could not)
From HERE.
by Andrew Restuccia – The Hill
President Obama's jobs council called Tuesday for an "all-in approach" to energy policy that includes expanded oil-and-gas drilling as well as expediting energy projects like pipelines.
"[W]e should allow more access to oil, natural gas and coal opportunities on federal lands," states the year-end report released Tuesday by the President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness.
The report does not specifically mention the Keystone XL oil pipeline, but it endorses moving forward quickly with projects that "deliver electricity and fuel," including pipelines.
"The Council recognizes the important safety and environmental concerns surrounding these types of projects, but now more than ever, the jobs and economic and energy security benefits of these energy projects require us to tackle the issues head-on and to expeditiously, though cautiously, move forward on projects that can support hundreds of thousands of jobs," the report says.
"[R]egulatory and permitting obstacles that could threaten the development of some energy projects negatively impact jobs and weaken our energy infrastructure need to be addressed," the report says. "Speedy adoption of best practice standards would allow government officials to reduce regulatory and permitting obstacles to important energy projects."
Under a payroll tax cut packaged signed into law in December, the president must make a decision on [the Keystone XL oil pipeline] by Feb. 21. White House and administration officials have said they will have little choice but to reject the pipeline under the deadline, arguing they will not have enough time to adequately review the project.
The looming deadline has set off an aggressive lobbying campaign. Republicans and industry officials argue that the project has been subject to sufficient review and is essential for boosting the ailing economy and creating jobs.
But environmental groups and other opponents of the pipeline have raised concerns about greenhouse gas emissions from oil sands production, as well as potential oil spills.
House Republicans quickly pounced on the jobs council report Tuesday, noting that the recommendations echo their "all-of-the-above" energy strategy.
Read the article here.
Fox Nation also reports the same Jobs Council came up with these recommendations:
- lowering corporate tax rates to "internationally competitive levels," saying that would boost investment within U.S. borders, and broadening the corporate tax base by eliminating deductions and loopholes.
- called for a series of reforms to further streamline government rules and reduce the regulatory burden on businesses, which it said would enhance U.S. competitiveness.
(now, why does obama ignore his own people? because they told him the truth! not lies like all the others have done and continue to do so)

And now, yet another reason to NOT vote ever for Ron Paul!
Former president Bill Clinton has turned media critic – dubbing MSNBC "our version of Fox."
Clinton told Esquire magazine MSNBC has become just like Fox News — and he blames the insatiable demand for cable news to have constant content as one of the reasons politics has become so caustic and divisive.
The existence of so many news channels and media outlets, Clinton said, "has contributed to less actual reporting and a louder, more contentious, more divisive public discourse, highlighting conflict, sometimes falsely."
"I also think that the diffusion of the media has complicated things. For example, I was just watching — I don't know if you heard what I said in the other room — I was just watching MSNBC, and they had a woman that used to work for me and a couple of other people on there, and they were talking about the Republican primary. And I was laughing. I said, 'Boy, it really has become our version of Fox,'" he said in the piece in the February issue, which culls from interviews done on November 30 and December 16, 2011.
(actually, I would say MSNBC is a lot closer to that Russian commie rag called Pravda. Since both only spout the party line)
(Politico) — One union leader on President Obama's jobs council drew attention Tuesday by abstaining from part of the panel's latest report, but the panel's only other labor leader is voicing even more profound disagreement with the committee's stance on taxes, regulation and job creation.
AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka wasn't at Tuesday's meeting, but filed a stinging 1635-word dissent to the "Road Map to Renewal" adopted by the President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness. Trumka also charged that the 27-member panel Obama appointed, which is dominated by business and finance leaders, isn't diverse enough to be making "balanced" policy proposals to the president. [...]
Trumka faulted the report and the council for omitting the "informed voices of environmental, consumer, women's, civil rights, and community organizations." He also used the language of the "Occupy" movement to frame what he views as the council's fundamental problem .
"Our country has become dominated by the interests of the wealthiest 1% at the expense of the remaining 99%. It turns out that a country run in the interests of the wealthiest 1% systematically underinvests in public goods; systematically silences, disempowers, and underinvests in its workers; and in the end is less competitive and creates fewer jobs than a country that focuses on the interests of the 99%."
(I laugh at union people talking. this guy is part of the 1% and if the union members were really half way smart, he would end up real quick as really equal to them and be one of the 99%. Plus the irony in all this is that Trumka is on the jobs council)
And another reason that one should VOTE for Newt Gingrich!
The largest Muslim civil liberties group in the United States on Wednesday condemned Newt Gingrich for saying he would only hire Muslims to his administration if they renounced the use of Islam's Shariah law as a tool for U.S. government.
Calling Gingrich "one of the nation's worst promoters of anti-Muslim bigotry," the Council of American Islamic Relations suggested the Republican presidential candidate is a segregationist.
"Newt Gingrich's vision of America segregates our citizens by faith. His outdated political ideas look backward to a time when Catholics and Jews were vilified and their faiths called a threat," said CAIR Legislative Director Corey Sayolor in a statement.
"The time for bias in American politics has passed and Newt Gingrich looks like a relic of an ugly era," Sayolor said.
CAIR said the release was prompted by the candidate's remarks Tuesday in Columbia when, asked if he would ever endorse a Muslim running for president.
"It would depend entirely on whether they would commit in public to give up Shariah," Gingrich said.
"A truly modern person who happened to worship Allah would not be a threat, a person who belonged to any kind of belief in Shariah, any effort to impose it on the rest of us, would be a mortal threat," Gingrich told the crowd, adding that he's "totally opposed" to Shariah law being applied in American courts and favors a federal law that "preempts" its use.
And again, our weird ass president, Barack Obama, blaming others for his decision to not allow the Keystone project! Is he nuts or has he been again smoking hashish with his islamic buddies?
Speaker of the House John Boehner lambastedPresident Obama for rejecting the Keystone XL pipeline during a press conference on Wednesday. "President Obama expedited approval of the Solyndra loan project, but won't approve a project that's been under review for over three years…President Obama is destroying tens of thousands of American jobs and shipping American energy security to the Chinese."
President Obama defended himself in a statement saying Republican's hurried deadline on the issue forced him to make the decision.
"The rushed and arbitrary deadline insisted on by Congressional Republicans prevented a full assessment of the pipeline's impact, especially the health and safety of the American people, as well as our environment," Obama wrote. "I'm disappointed that Republicans in Congress forced this decision, but it does not change my Administration's commitment to American-made energy that creates jobs and reduces our dependence on oil.
Boehner: Obama approved Solyndra, but not Keystone

Everton defender Leighton Baines says the new arrivals at Goodison Park during the transfer window have given the club a real lift.
The deadline day signings of Nikica Jelavic and Steven Pienaar added to the loan deal for Landon Donovan and the signing of Darron Gibson from Manchester United.
The Toffees are unbeaten in all competitions since a 2-0 Barclays Premier League defeat at high-flying Tottenham on January 11th and Baines told Everton's official website he felt the club was on an 'upward curve'.
"We certainly feel as though we are on the up again"
- Leighton Baines
"I think [January's transfer dealings] lifted everyone associated with the club," he said.
""It certainly did from what we see within the club, it gave everyone a boost.
"It was massive, in particular, what that 24 hours [on deadline day] did for us with the two new lads coming in and the win over Manchester City – of course we had signed a couple of lads before that as well – so it was a productive period for the club and we certainly feel as though we are on the up again.
"We needed it and it does lift people," he added.
"It is hard to articulate exactly why that is at times but to get the new bodies in really helped."
Everton host Chelsea on Saturday and Baines said he hoped Everton could keep up their good form.
"Beating City was what the fans deserved really. Things have not been great this season so it was nice to win that one for them and it is important we keep the momentum going," he said.
"We want to win all our home games and we will be going out to do it again on Saturday.
"We know we have to work hard and pick our form up. Hopefully that will be the case as we do feel as if we are on an upward curve now."

The Hyattsville Community Development Corporation is looking to transform 20 properties within the Gateway Arts District into large, public works of art. But they need property owners to come forward with artistic visions for their properties.
Dubbed the Street Art Initiative, the program already has 15 area muralists signed up and awaiting their assignments. A Dropbox gallery shows off the previous work of the selected artists and provides an artists statement for each one.
Interested property owners can apply online with this form or can apply via snail mail by printing, completing and mailing this PDF application form.
The goal of the program is to pair muralists with a total of 20 property owners, five in each of the four municipalities which make up the Gateway Arts District (Hyattsville, Mount Rainier, Brentwood and North Brentwood).
The properties must be located within the Gateway Arts District, which stretches roughly along the Rhode Island and Baltimore avenue's corridors (properties west of Queens Chapel Road are ineligible). Properties will be chosen based on a number of criteria, including proximity to Route 1, property condition, future plans for the property, and property owners' proposed financial contribution to the project.
A conceptual small-scale rendering of the proposed mural will be provided free of charge. The Street Art Initiative will pay each artist a minimum $500 commission to realize the design. However, the Street Art Initiative encourages property owners to propose a financial contribution to the artist as part of the application process.
"Provision of a partial or full match by the applicant will make the application more competitive, and can make a big difference in the artist's concept for the work, and in their wall being noticed," reads the program application form.

The Laurel Highlands Athletic Conference track and field league-leading Bedford boys and Forest Hills girls were the big team winners at Friday's Northern Bedford Invitational.
The Bisons scored 129 points to outdistance the hosts, who had 861⁄2, while the Rangers tallied 144 points to delegate Northern Bedford to second with 64.
Bedford got 40 of its team points from its throwers.
Junior Cody DeMoss won the javelin competition with a season-best throw of 169 feet, 5 inches to take the gold by almost 16 feet and setting a personal record by 4 inches. He has his eye on the school record of 174-6.
Bisons' teammate Josiah Koontz, the top seed in the discus, was upset by teammate Jacob Wirick, who bettered his seeded throw by nearly 7 feet with a winning throw of 141-6. Koontz, who took third, about 2 feet back, got his revenge in the shot, where Wirick was the top seed. Koontz won the event with a 41-10 while Wirick finished fourth.

The apartment is great, it has an stunning view of the coast and inside it is very confortable, clean and secure. The kitchen is very well equipted, the same for the laundry. It has everything they offer and more! It also has the perfect location, near Larcomar, supermarkets, banks, restaurants, parks, everything.... I would definetely recommend this property, the owner is very helpfull, patient and kind, talking with him was a pleasure, he always replied in a short time to all my questions.
We recently came back from our week long vacation to Lima and we loved this apartment. The location is excellent and you can't beat the view. You feel very secured knowing there is a doorman screening everyone that comes in and asks you before letting anyone up to the apartment. The owners were very pleasant and helpful during the whole stay. We arrived with two small children and they provided a pack-n-play along with a high chair. We will certainly stay there again on our next trip! Cesar V
Very nice apartment, great location. Grocery stores, cliffside walking path, shopping, cafes, restaurants all nearby. 16th floor, awesome views and breeze. Clean, although it's difficult to keep Lima's air from laying dust on the floor. Cleaners are good as long as you specify what you'd like done. Internet connection was abysmal though, slow and wireless modem didn't reach half the apartment. Very comfortable for our family of 4, but strict rules and closed windows were required for the safety of the children -- windows slide open easily and lead to a 16 storey drop! No air conditioning, but we bought two fans which were useful in summer (Jan-Feb). Landline is a Claro phone, just needs to be loaded with funds. Beach is nearby but only good for surfing - turbulent, rocky, and cold! Need to travel 2h out of Lima for a good beach.

You may have seen them at local malls. New ecoATMs are billed to be an easy way to recycle your old smart phones and make a few bucks in return.
But at least one Philadelphia city councilperson wants to ban the new technology, saying it promotes crime.
Like many of you, Andre White, of Abington, had a few old phones collecting dust around the house.
"Something is better than nothing, I mean, if you don't want to go through the hassle," White said.
So, he came to one of the automated recycling kiosks that provide instant cash phone and other electronics. They're popping up in area shopping malls.
It's pretty easy -- put your phone in, the machine analyzes its worth, and you get cash on the spot.
They say it's good for the environment and good for your wallet. We saw phones being sold for $1 to $160.
Philadelphia City Councilwoman Blondell Reynolds Brown, however, is proposing a ban on these machines similar to a ban recently passed in Baltimore.
Philly is one of the top cities in the country for cell phone thefts. Although police haven't weighed in, the councilwoman thinks machines like these could lead to more crime.
"Our concerns rest with the uptick of stealing and theft and loss of smart phones, and all the evidence suggests we need to look at this," Reynolds Brown said.
San Diego based ecoATM tells us there are only three of these machines within the city limits. They told us they knew nothing about the proposed ban until we told them.
To sell a phone, your picture, your fingerprint and a scan of your driver's license are all taken before a sale is made, and a report is made available to local police.
A spokesperson for ecoATM said, "We are not the cause of phone theft, but we can be an important part of the solution."
They go on to say "There are many places for a criminal to quickly sell a stolen phone with no questions asked, including Craigslist and the black market."
As for White, he was offered just a dollar for his old phones. He didn't take the deal. But he says he still likes the idea.
The ban will be proposed on Thursday at city council's meeting.
Wednesday (83/62): Sun/Clouds
Refreshing Forecast
Wednesday will feature another comfortable day with below average temperatures and low humidity. Highs in the upper 70s/Low 80s. Expect a mix of sun and clouds.

Comments about Cuddly Lion Infant Costume:
I bought this for my son for halloween and it fit him perfectly. I was having problems finding one that would fit him and I lucked out with this one. He is 13 months old (almost 31 inches tall and 26 lbs) This costume is so adorable it was a huge hit. My only complaint would be at the bottom where their feet pop out it's held on by a strap and the straps irritated him really bad and he kept getting his toes caught in it. Other than that it was wonderful.

Comments about Cuddly Lion Infant Costume:
I bought this costume for my son who is 14m. It fits him nicely at about 26lbs. It is nice and warm and not too hard to put on him(also has the leg buttons for diaper changes). Seems to be pretty good quality. The ladies at the store were so nice and held it for me after I called so I could pick it up. The only thing that seems different from the picture is the head piece, it's not as fluffy as it shows in the picture. I highly recommend this costume for your little lion.

President Obama declared Friday that the United States "will not waver in our resolve" to snuff out terrorist attacks after two explosive-laden packages destined for Jewish sites in Chicago were discovered aboard cargo flights originating in Yemen, home of an al-Qaida affiliate hostile to the United States.
Confirming the apparent plot against his hometown -- Obama plans to visit Chicago this weekend -- the president said he was alerted Thursday night about a "credible terrorist attack."
In a later development, federal officials halted all U.S.-bound cargo flights from Yemen, where U.S. cargo inspectors were being dispatched apparently to look for ways to improve security there, according to a senator who was briefed about the decision.
Authorities believe there is a "strong possibility" that al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula -- the terrorist group's affiliate in Yemen -- is behind the attack, a U.S. official involved in the investigation told National Journal. The group was responsible for the attempted bombing of a U.S.-bound airliner last Christmas. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the information.
Obama went out of his way to note that al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula is based in Yemen. He promised to "spare no effort" to investigate the plot involving two packages found in Britain and Dubai. At least one of the packages included ink toner with white powder and wires coming out of it.
"The American people should be confident that we will not waver in our resolve to defeat al-Qaida and its affiliates and to root out violent extremism in all its forms," the president said in the White House briefing room.
Elaborating on the president's remarks, the U.S. official said a package recovered at Britain's East Midlands Airport was directed to a Chicago synagogue while one found in Dubai was addressed to a Jewish community center in the same city.
The news rattled U.S. leaders and led to at least one false report -- New York police, responding to a suspicious-package report aboard a cargo truck, found an envelope filled with bank receipts. Still, House Homeland Security ranking member Peter King, R-N.Y., said the evidence in Britain and Dubai suggests there was a coordinated plan against the U.S.
"Obviously," he told MSNBC, "something real is happening here."
On high alert, U.S. military F-15 fighter jets escorted a passenger plane originating from Yemen into John F. Kennedy International Airport near New York City.
Security officials had been monitoring the the suspected plot for days, according to a senior law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity. Obama was first briefed on the security threat last night and is receiving regular updates. Shortly after Obama's statement, the White House said the devices had been disabled.
"Based on close cooperation among U.S. government agencies and with our foreign allies and partners, authorities were able to identify and examine two suspicious packages, one in London and one in Dubai. Both of these packages originated from Yemen," according to a White House statement.
A subsequent statement by White House counterterrorism adviser John Brennan suggested that Saudi Arabia provided the tip that set off the search for the packages. "The United States is grateful to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for their assistance in developing information that helped underscore the imminence of the threat emanating from Yemen," said Brennan, who also named the United Arab Emirates and Britain as some of the "friends and partners [who] helped make it possible to increase our vigilance and identify the suspicious packages in Dubai and East Midlands Airport."
With just days before Tuesday's midterm elections, the news captured the attention of a public that had been more focused on jobs and the economy, not national security. Faced with security and a political problem, the White House had to ponder whether to press ahead with a final weekend of campaigning that was going to take him to Pennsylvania, Ohio, Connecticut, Virginia, and his home state of Illinois.
The suspicious packages were said to be carried on two commercial cargo flights – one from the United Parcel Service and the other FedEx. The U.S. official who spoke on condition of anonymity told National Journal that the suspicious package found on the plane in the East Midlands in the United Kingdom could have been a dry run for an attack.
The package was found during routine screening of cargo in the United Kingdom, prompting authorities to scour three planes and a truck in the United States on Friday. Searches were conducted in Philadelphia, Newark, N.J., and New York City, but no explosives were found.
The security concerns quickly spread to other cargo shipping companies. FedEx, for example, announced that it has embargoed all shipments from Yemen.
"We've notified the intended recipients of the packages, but we are not making public who those intended recipients are," said Special Agent Ross Rice, of the Chicago FBI.
Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, ranking member of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, said after a briefing by Transportation Security Administration director John Pistole that the movement of air freight from Yemen has been stopped and that cargo inspectors were heading there.
"The use of commercial cargo carriers demonstrates the continuing determination of terrorists to exploit any vulnerabilities in our security systems," Collins said. "I have urged Mr. Pistole to strengthen our screening of cargo and to prevent any packages originating in Yemen from entering the United States without thorough screening," she added.
Meanwhile, the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago said it has alerted synagogues not to open packages that appear suspicious or which come from Yemen or from any organization that has the name "Yemen" in it.
"Needless to say, we all hope that nothing will come of this. But given the realities of today's world and the information that has been made available, it is important that these security precautions be taken by all area synagogues," said Michael Kotzin, Jewish Federation executive vice president.
The Yemen Embassy in the United States issued a statement saying that no UPS cargo planes land or take off from Yemeni airports and there are no direct flights from Yemen either to the United States or the United Kingdom.
"The Yemeni government launched a full scale investigation," the embassy said. "We are working closely with international partners – including the U.S. – on the incident."

Today's Houston Chronicle ran a fantastic op-ed by Houston Strategies blogger Tory Gattis articulating the case for Houston as a model of the 21st century, dynamic city of opportunity. There's a widespread perception of Houston as a sprawling free-for-all and epitome of market-driven urban chaos, but having lived there the last several years, it's clear to me that the national perception of Houston doesn't jive with reality. Tory breaks it down:
Houston is at a turning point. With a boost from noted urbanist Joel Kotkin, our city has begun recasting its national reputation from "that ugly, sprawling, weird city without zoning" to the exemplar city for "Opportunity Urbanism," a compelling new paradigm for cities in the 21st century. This paradigm asserts that the fundamental (but recently forgotten) core mission of cities is to accelerate the upward social and economic mobility of its inhabitants.
This may sound obvious to the average person, but in the wonkish world of urban policy and planning, the themes of the past decade have been environmentalism (smart growth), pedestrian aesthetics (new urbanism), and meeting the desires of the educated elites (the "creative class"). Each of these movements raised important points– the need for urban core renewal and infill, a lack of quality pedestrian spaces and neighborhoods, and talent as the new basis of global competition, respectively. But they also went a step too far – denying suburban homeownership to those who desire it, demonizing the car and excessively focusing on attracting a narrow class of outside talent by being "hip and cool" instead of developing skills broadly in the existing population. Improving life for the typical resident got lost in the clamor.
What do we mean by "improving life" and "upward social and economic mobility?" Kotkin's research team, of which I was a part, identified four enablers: additional education for self or children; affordable homeownership; entrepreneurship; and getting a superior job, better matched to the jobholder's skills with improved productivity and pay. Urban policies and planning can have a direct effect on each of these drivers.
How can a city make more of these positive changes happen for more people? Our prescription – and Houston's great strength – revolves around the theme of maximizing residents' "opportunity zone."
What constitutes a rich environment for these four enablers to do their positive work? The more education, job, start-up, or affordable home options they have within their personal travel-time/cost tolerance, the more likely most people are to take advantage of them. That's their opportunity zone, and Houston has managed to maximize it in four key ways.
You'd be missing out if you didn't read the rest here.
And be sure to check out Tory's related blog posts here and here for more, as well as this piece he and I co-authored for the Chronicle warning of the perils of planning for Houston.

Rector's Welcome
Many newcomers first experience the Parish through this website. Here you can glimpse the range and depth of ministries which we offer to the glory of God and in the service of Christ. Indeed, there are many and varied opportunities for service and sacrifice through St. James'. Situated in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver, we are both a neighborhood and a destination Church. We seek to worship God in the beauty of holiness. We seek to serve by living a sacramental life rooted in the Anglo-Catholic tradition.
St. James' is not for the faint-hearted. It takes courage and conviction to worship in this neighbourhood. Likewise, it takes courage to live here. From the outside there are many perceptions of the area in which the Church is located. However, those who persevere in worship and service at St. James' discover that as we seek to be faithful to the needs of the Downtown Eastside so also we are enriched and transformed by the neighbourhood, whoever we are, wherever we live.
If you are seeking to worship and serve Christ wholeheartedly; if you want to belong to a community of faith and be challenged to grow in your journey of faith; if you are seeking sanctuary and refreshment in God – discover St. James'. Mass times and other events can be found on our worship page.
We hope that through this website you will be moved to discover St. James' for yourself and in so doing experience and serve God in Christ with us.
Fr. Mark Greenaway-Robbins

Andrew McGee
Suwannee Democrat
Live Oak —
Lisa Kriehn of Love INC has been selected as the grand marshal for the 28th Annual Christmas on the Square nighttime parade.
Kriehn is the executive director of the local faith-based charity.
"I was in tears because we only do what needs to be done," Kriehn said of receiving the news.
Love INC is a local ministry that, since its inception in 1991, have had their hand in helping others and have been directly involved in numerous fundraisers. Through the ministry's efforts, they've brought useful items to those less-fortunate in their greatest time of need, but more importantly, the ministry offers hope through Christ.
Kriehn was raised in Live Oak. She is married to Tom Kriehn who is retired from the US
Navy and is currently employed by PCS Phosphate. They have two children and five
Kriehn quit her job in 2004 to help care for her mother. When her mother recovered, Kriehn needed something to do and decided in 2006 to became a volunteer for Love INC (In the Name of Christ). She originally was only going to work the same days that her husband worked. Needless to say, that only lasted a couple of weeks as she could not stay away. In September of 2008, she became the clearinghouse coordinator and remained in that position for three years.
Winona Edwards, the previous executive director, came to her and told her she was going to retire and that Kriehn was the only one that knew all of the functions and qualified for the position. Reluctantly, Kriehn took the position, but loved it. Kriehn admits she learned all the ropes from Edwards.
On June 26, Tropical Storm Debby hit our community and hit it hard. When Love INC's office was able to reopen on June 28, Kriehn said it was one of the saddest days they had ever experienced.
"I cannot begin to explain to you look of horror and fear on peoples faces as they
came through our doors," said Kriehn. "The only thing I could say to my wonderful group of volunteers was let them know that you love them and let's do what we can to
help them."
And that is exactly what they did for months. Through the help of the community, surrounding communities and places as far away as California, donations of money, clothes, food, water and household items came pouring into their office, to the point that they were gifted a warehouse to use as a receiving site.
"We to date have been able to help 2,103 people for $242,503 in goods and services," said Kriehn. "We truly saw the denominational walls knocked down and our community pull together."
Now, Kriehn is the 2012 Christmas on the Square grand marshal. "The grand marshall is usually someone who's worked in the community awhile," said Barbie Scott, who is one of the event coordinators. "She's done a lot, doing the shoe drive and working real hard."
One of the duties Kriehn will have is cutting the ribbon that will officially begin Christmas on the Square. The ribbon-cutting begins at 8 a.m. in front of Millennium and Veterans parks and the grand marshal also leads the Christmas parade.
When asked what Kriehn would do if she found out she was going to be the person in a dunking booth that day, she spoke like a real trooper.
"Well, if that's what they asked me to do, I'd do it," Kriehn laughed.
All kidding aside, Kriehn showed genuine thanks and gratuity for being selected for such an honorable position as Grand Marshall for the event.
"It's just an honor, I can't explain," said Kriehn. "I was speechless and I'm excited."
Don't miss the people, the fun, the booths, the music, the food and the entertainment that Christmas on the Square always delivers coming up Dec. 1.

Often referred to as the "poor man's gold" because it's generally cheaper to buy, silver has outperformed the yellow metal so far this year. The SPDR GLD Shares ETF (GLD) is up 22 percent year-to-date, while iShares Silver Trust ETF (SLV) has returned 51 percent.
