Watch This Incredible Young Woman Render Jon Stewart Speechless
The Taliban already tried to kill her once. Think that stopped her? Think again.
Just wait and hear at 4:29 what she'll do if they come for her again — simply profound. Plus, I've never seen someone render Jon Stewart speechless. That's just cool.
Jon Stewart: Welcome back my guest tonight, she's an advocate for girls access to education worldwide, she is the youngest person ever to be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize, her new book is called "I Am Malala" the girl who stood up for education and was shot by the Taliban. Please welcome to the program Malala Yousafzai.
Jon Stewart: Nice to see you. Thank you for being here.
Malala Yousafzai: Thank you so much, it's an honor for me.
Jon Stewart: It is an honor for us, I know me. This is, by the way, we talked a little bit before the show, nothing feels better than making you laugh, I will say that, I enjoyed that very much.
Malala Yousafzai: Thank you.
Jon Stewart: "I Am Malala", it, it's honestly humbling to meet you. You are sixteen, where did your love for education come from?
Malala Yousafzai: We are human beings and this is the part of our human nature, that we don't learn the importance of anything, until it's snatched from our hands. And when, in Pakistan when we were stopped from going to school, at that time I realized that education is very important and education is the power for women and that's why the terrorists are afraid of education. They do not want women to get education because then women will become more powerful.
Jon Stewart: Exactly, exactly right. When did the Taliban come to Swat Valley, because before then, you describe it as a paradise of sorts?
Malala Yousafzai: The Taliban came in 2004, but at that time they were quite good, they did not show the terrorism and they did not blast any schools at that time. But they started the real terrorism in 2007, they have blasted more than 400 schools in Swat, they have slaughtered people and in the month of January 2009, they used to slaughter even two, three people every night and they had flogged them. We had seen the barbaric situation of the 21st century and we have seen the cruelty and we have seen harsh days in our life and those are regarded as the darkest days of our life, so it was really hard for us at that time.
Jon Stewart: You describe in the book, still, no matter what, they took the signs off of schools, they went underground, but they continued, in the face of, you spoke out publicly against the Taliban, what gave you the courage to continue this?
Malala Yousafzai: You know, my father was a great encouragement for me because he spoke out for women's rights, he spoke out for girl's education and at that time I said that why should I wait for someone else, why should I be looking to the government, to the army that they would help us? Why don't I raise my voice, why don't we speak up for our rights? The girls of Swat, they spoke up for their rights, I started writing diary, I spoke on every media channel that I could, and I raised my voice on every platform that I could and I said I need to tell the world what is happening in Swat, and I need to tell the world that Swat is suffering from terrorism and we need to fight against terrorism.
Jon Stewart: When did you realize the Taliban had made you a target?
Malala Yousafzai: When, in 2012, we were, I was with my father and someone came and she told us that, have you seen on Google that if you search your name and the Taliban has threatened you? And I just could not believe it, I said no it's not true and even after the third when we saw it, I was not worried about myself that much, I was worried about my father because we thought that the Taliban are not that much cruel that they would kill a child, because I was 14 at that time. But then later on, I used to like, I started thinking about that and I used to think that the Tali would come and he would just kill me, but then I said if he comes, what would you do Malala? Then I would reply to myself Malala just take a shoe and hit him, but then I said, if you hit a Tali with your shoe, then there would be no difference between you and the Tali. You must not treat others that much with cruelty and that much harshly, you must fight others, but through peace and through dialogue and through education. Then I said I would tell him how important education is and that I even want education for your children as well and I would tell him, that's what I want to tell you, now do what you want.
Jon Stewart: Let me ask you, I know your father is back stage and he is very proud of you, but would he be mad if I adopted you? Because you sure are swell. Could you stick around? I want to talk a little bit more about sort of Swat Valley and what it was like growing up there and how people can get involved through the Malala Fund and those types of things, do you have a little bit of time?
Malala Yousafzai: Yeah, yeah, sure.
Jon Stewart: "I Am Malala" is on the bookshelves now. Donate to the Malala Fund, visit www.malalafund.org! Malala Yousafzai, we'll be right back.

Location :
Charlestown, Indiana
Charlestown State Park
[ 10/10 ]
After a disappointing stay at another park, we moved here to finish our stay in the area. This is a large state park with a very nice under-utilized campground. The park has facilities from primitive to full hookup. There are 3 large, clean shower/restrooms. If you aren't an Indiana resident, a one time $7 fee is required to enter the park. We are enjoying our stay here.
Clarksville, Indiana
Louisville Metro KOA
[ 2/10 ]
This campground was a huge disappointment. Due to the proximity to the interstate and downtown Louisville, it has a lot of overnighters but also has an apparent resident population of long term campers. The park is extremely cramped with units so close together awnings and tow vehicles stick out into the street. There is no grass or shade. The interstate and busy railroad are right beside the park, so it is noisy from that. We had a group of six adults next to us that staged a 24 hour drinking party which was noisy and messy all night long. Management did nothing. After their first party night, we moved to another park. On a positive note, the staff was friendly and helpful. The restrooms were clean and functional but were kept locked. A key deposit was required to get access. We were unable to get either the wi-fi or TV cable to work. Water pressure in the park is advertised at 75 psi, so if you come, bring a pressure regulator.
Council Bluffs, Iowa
Lake Manawa State Park
[ 2/10 ]
Considering the location near Council Bluffs with all the recreation possibilities, it is a real shame that this park is the black sheep of the Iowa State Parks system. It has been slated for a major overhaul for several years but continually gets bumped back. It has a reputation of being used by near homeless people and undesirables. The campground is located on one of the largest lakes in this part of the state and there is abundant wildlife in the park. Good bike and hiking trails. Close to shopping, restaurants, theaters and casinos. It could have a lot to offer. Iowa should be ashamed of itself with how this park is maintained and used.
Avoca, Iowa
Pottawattamie County Fair Campground
[ 3/10 ]
This park is owned and operated by the county fair board and has little funding. It is not well maintained and some of the campers here are long term for various reasons. It is a safe but crude park. Mostly used by over nighters and people visiting in the area. This corner of the state is very short of decent campgrounds.
Woodbine, Iowa
Willow Lake Recreation Area
[ 7/10 ]
Willow is a county park in Harrison county. It is located approximately 5 miles from Woodbine off of SR30. It is heavily used by locals and especially families. Nice clean laid back park on a small lake with fishing and swimming beach. Newer section lacks shade and is close showers. Park has cabins to rent as well as camping facilities. Park does not have a dump station. City park in Woodbine has dump station that is used by this park's campers. This is a hassle for longer stays.

Traverse City Record-Eagle
Cherry Raceway
MTS Sprints see Bares pick up win in 7-in-1 Cherry Raceway show
The Lane Automotive Michigan Traditional Sprints, featuring the best wingless sprint-car drivers in the Great Lakes region, made their way Friday to the Cherry Raceway in Fife Lake. Also in action were the Weller Truck Parts UMP DIRTcar Modifieds, Pro Streets, Factory Stocks, Four-Cylinder Warrriors, Crossroads Chevrolet Compacts, and the Hirams Lightning mini sprints.
The Features started off with the Pro Streets who took part in a 10-lap A-main. Once the green flag was dropped it would be defending track champion Allen Oyer taking the lead. He would manage to hold through the entirety of the race and pick up the win. This was the first ever career victory for the 20-year-old from Mancelona behind the wheel of his Tri-County Sand & Stone/Chevrolet. Jimmy Hiller finished in the second spot. J.J. Arbour completed the field. Oyer also won the lone heat event.
Up next it was the Factory Stocks. which made their out for a 15-lap main event. Lap 1 was led by Jeff Chalker, who saw the lead then go to 2011 track champion Emery Smith. The two would swap for the lead for the next few circuits. Smith would manage to pull away with the lead. However, on the very last lap Smith would suffer mechanical problems which surrendered the top spot to Karl McClellan, who scored the win.
This was the first win for McClellan. The 51-year-old from Mainistee in his 1x Racing/Oldsmobile. Peni Lalonde finished second, Kevin Stricker, Dan Wireman and Smith rounded out the top five. Stricker won the lone heat race.
The Hirams Lightning Sprints were out next in their feature that took 20-laps. The early advantage went to Ron Ramoy. On lap 5 Tom Hunt fought his way to the front of the field, and would be there until lap 9. That was when Bill Dunham jumped into the top position. Dunham would however, be involved in a roll-over on lap 14, which took him out of the show and gave the lead back to Hunt who went on to take the checkered flag. Hunt picked up the win driving his Hunt Motorsports machine of Ithaca. Rusty Reyelts was second. Mack Erickson, Randy Plamondon and Chuck Erickson made up the top five. Dunham and Reyelts were the heat race winners.
The Four Cylinder Warriors were out next for a 15-lap feature. Russ Carrier was the leader of the opening lap. Andrew Austin was able to power his way to the front, taking the lead on lap 5. Although on lap 12 Austin, would get caught up in lap traffic and allow Jeremy Tulick to jump out in front and take the lead away. He would go on from there to pick up the win. Tulick, a 34-year-old from Cadillac in the Sonn'ys Garage/Dodge picked up his first win of the year. Austin settled for second. Bob Craycraft, Jim Luhtanen and Nick Olds finished off the top five. Arlie Cooper and Austin picked up the heat wins.
The Crossroads Chevrolet Compacts made their way out for a 15-lap main event. Sixteen-year-old Ricky Wilson was the driver leading after the drop of the green flag. He was able to hold off all challenges and go on through the entire race to earn the victory. Wilson, driving out of Williamsburg in his Wilson's Plumbing/Ford, scored his fourth win of the season. Runner-up honors went to 2011 track champion 14-year-old Autumn Beeman, with 16-year-old Rheanna Doberstein, 16-year-old Hunter Carrier and 16-year-old Calvin Ingleston capping off the top five. The heats were won by Wilson and defending track champion Chris Casey.
The Weller Truck Parts UMP DIRTcar Modifieds went head to head in their 20-lap shootout. Once the field saw the green flag, it was Paul Johnson taking the lead. The battle would rage on from there until Johnson would be involved in a caution with lap traffic in the late stages of the race, which forced him to the rear of the field. The lead was then given to Greg Gokey, who went on from there to get the win. This was the first win of the year for the 30-year old driver from Buckley in his Butch Straight Inspections/DirtWerx Racecar. Dennis Taghon, 19-year old Nick Kurtz, Wayne Taghon and Johnson rapped up the top five. Johnson, and Gokey were the heat winners.
The main event of the night featured the 20-lap A-main for the Lane Automotive Michigan Traditional Sprints. The field was lead out to chief starter Steve Sherwood's green flag by Brett Mann and Steve Irwin, who was able to take the lead after the first lap. He would remain for much of the contest until and on lap 18 Joe Bares was able to fight his way to the front of the pack and go home the winner.

Times West Virginian
It's something Fairmont State University athletic director Rusty Elliott believes new head football coach Jason Woodman has in spades.
"This guy has a lot of energy and knowledge and he is going to get this thing rolling in the right direction and I assure you no one is going to outwork him," he said after Woodman was introduced as the 18th coach in FSU history last Saturday.
And that enthusiasm is what the Falcons will need from the first-time head coach as they ready for a dive into unchartered waters. Starting in the 2013-14 season, FSU will compete in the newly formed Mountain East Conference, along with eight other West Virginia Conference schools.
To compete in the new league — a 12-team group that includes such football powers as Shepherd — the Falcons will need Woodman to hit the ground running.
Not to mention ...
• Hit recruiting hard — FSU couldn't afford to fall behind here and drag along the hiring process. That fact was likely one of the many reasons it pulled the trigger on Woodman so quickly, less than two weeks after former coach Mike Lopez was released from his contract. Woodman said Saturday he had already begun the recruiting process, though it remains to be seen which direction he'll go — heavy on in-state players or elsewhere or try to find a balance between the two. The Falcons had 37 West Virginia players on last season's roster.
• Hit the streets — Since the day he was hired, FSU head men's basketball coach Jerrod Calhoun has talked about putting a face on his program, and getting players and coaches out amongst the public. Whether it's passing out schedules at area businesses or attending local events, the Falcons have made a concerted effort to put themselves out there. The result has been a team talked about around town and generally good early-season crowds, which you'd think would continue to grow after a huge win at Charleston and the meat of the WVIAC schedule still on the docket after New Year's.
And maybe that's what FSU football needs more than anything — some sizzle, a jolt of excitement, a bit of buzz.
The Falcons certainly have their share of exciting players (Daniel Monroe) and hometown heroes (Trevor Malnick, among others). They have quality facilties for the most part, too, including a new high-definition scoreboard and a revamped locker room.
But something is missing.
There has to be, right? How else do you describe a 2012 home attendance that averaged fewer than 1,200 fans per game and mustered a season-high 1,359 for homecoming?
Sure, other factors were at play here. Due to the construction of the scoreboard, FSU opened last season with three straight road games and only played at Duvall-Rosier Field four times. Some game times clashed with West Virginia University. And, let's face it, WVIAC football doesn't exactly bring in huge crowds even in the most ideal of circumstances.
But a few more victories would help matters, as Lopez had two winning seasons during his tenure. In fact, the last time FSU made a legitimate run for a league title was more than a decade ago in 2001.
At the same time, Fairmont — and Marion County as a whole — is passionate about its sports. If someone or something is worth seeing, you'll make the effort to seek them out. In my time here, that's rarely been the case with FSU football ... many folks simply just don't care.
Can Woodman change things?
Well, he has ties to the area, being a county native, a graduate of North Marion High School and a Fairmont State alum. That's a plus.
As is the resume, which includes setting new school records as offensive coordinator at Bowie State, his most recent gig before taking the FSU job. He's also had stops at Florida State and LSU and drew recent praise from Tigers' coach Les Miles. That's a big plus, too.
Add it all up, and you have an intriguing, energetic new football coach, one who seems up to the challenge that awaits him. That's more than enough for now.

BY DOUG DeYOUNG
---- — Michigan's business sector continues to turn the corner toward recovery, and in 2013 it will be critical to build on the momentum of the past two years.
Businesses across Northern Michigan benefitted from elimination of the onerous Michigan Business Tax in favor of a corporate business tax. By last fall, our region's jobless numbers had improved to pre-recession levels, and our region's employment base is finally starting to grow again.
In an effort to continue these positive trends, a group of business men and women from eight area Chambers of Commerce spread across northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula gathered here in Traverse City in December. They mapped out the 2013 Legislative Agenda for the Northern Michigan Chamber Alliance.
The Alliance is made up of a wide range of business owners and operators in our area, plus their chamber staffs. They are people who know the challenges of running a business, meeting a payroll and keeping up with a never-ending stream of regulations. The Alliance partners also know the importance of speaking with a collective voice on legislative issues and worked hard to create a concise set of priorities for our region. Those include:
n Equitable state funding for northern Michigan schools and continued curriculum reforms. Our northern Michigan schools can't compete on a global level with per-pupil funding levels well below other areas of the state. Plus, our region needs top-tier public education to attract and retain young professionals to our area. But most importantly, our business community knows that building a strong and diverse work force to drive our future economy is reliant on a solid public education system.
n Infrastructure investment in areas of transportation, broadband and energy transmission. The Alliance supports additional transportation funding for our roads and bridges. A safe and reliable transportation network is needed to ship goods and services in and out of Northern Michigan. It's also critical to our area's tourism trade. Much of our business community will also benefit from better broadband connectivity and improved infrastructure for energy transmission.
n Completing the review of various state regulations through the Office of Regulatory Reform. Significant work in this area remains, including the review of antiquated liquor control rules and improvements to state permitting and approval processes.
The Alliance's legislative priorities go deeper. We want to help our business sector remain strong and create jobs by strengthening manufacturing production, expanding regional farming efforts and continuing funding for tourism promotion. Better workforce training and Early Childhood Development funding also are needed.
Our approach is working. The Alliance is becoming a go-to resource for our state and federal legislators.We meet with them regularly and they reach out to us for input on a wide range of public policy issues.
A consistent voice from our partners helps our lawmakers better understand our regional needs.

To charge or not to charge? That is the question
Published: Saturday, April 27, 2013 at 3:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 25, 2013 at 2:37 p.m.
It is time for some uniformity in admission charges to high school sporting events.
I feel like something of a hypocrite writing about this subject since I have several cards, we grandiosely call them press credentials, that generally allow me free admission to sporting events. These are important to me, since I will typically see a minimum of three and have seen as many as seven prep sporting events a week.
It is the parents who get nailed. A husband-and-wife who just want to see their son or daughter play basketball can pay $28 a week ($42 on those not-so-rare occasions when there are three games). That is between $92 and $168 a month just for admission. This is in addition to the money they lay out for transportation, uniforms, shoes, equipment and other incidentals like hot dogs and soda at a game.
I am not against charging admission to sporting events. With movies costing $10 or more, high school sporting events are a bargain on a strictly entertainment, let alone an emotional, level. We accept paying admission to football and basketball games. The truth is that those admissions are necessary if we are to have quality programs at a time when we can't even afford to bus students to school. Both Petaluma and Casa Grande high schools took a financial hit when the Egg Bowl was cancelled. They took another hit when Casa and Petaluma ended up in different leagues, meaning they played just two (one boys and one girls) head-to-head basketball games instead of the four they have played in previous years, Admission fees are one of the prices parents pay to have their children participate in the high profile sports.
The questions seems to be whether or not to charge admission to all sports and whether or not all schools should be mandated to charge admission fees.
Policy, prices and enforcement vary from school to school and sport to sport. Petaluma High charges admission to baseball and softball games, but not to track or swim meets. Casa Grande doesn't charge at all for spring sports.
I've spun around about 360 degrees on the subject of admission fees, and I openly admit I'm being hypocritical since it is against the reporter's cannon of ethics, not to mention cheap nature, to pay for admission to any event. But I now believe that charging admission is a necessary evil. In a perfect world, we would fund our schools sufficiently so that all sports — in fact, all extra-curricular activities — would be free to all participants and spectators. But we don't live in a perfect world. We live in a world of politicians and lobbyists, so parents and school supporters have to dig deep.
We have to find a way to pay for our coaches, our equipment and our officials. At least a partial answer is game admission.
That being the case, admission policies should be uniform and consistent. It seems logical that admission to high profile events such as football and basketball should be more than to those that draw fewer spectators, but if you are going to charge for one, you should charge for all.
Every school should be involved. The charges should be done in every league, with each league having the option to set its own ticket prices.
How much would you pay to see a good badminton match?

JOPLIN, Mo. —
Morning broke early for two judges visiting Joplin for Rand McNally's "Friendliest City" competiton.
Representatives of the Joplin Convention and Visitors Bureau woke Jennifer Jordon and Robert Schatz early today for a sunrise hot air balloon lift over Shoal Creek Valley.
With no time to waste on their two-day visit to Joplin, the judges proceeded to City Hall for a welcome from city officials. They are currently touring the Joplin Museum Complex.
Jordon said their trip is "kind of work, kind of fun and kind of adventure all rolled up in one."
Mapmaker Rand McNally is looking at Joplin as a contender for the nation's friendliest city title. The city is one of six finalists in the Rand McNally/USA Today "Best of the Road" contest.

A Roster Full of Good Twins Minor Leaguers
by, 05-16-2012 at 02:45 PM (1256 Views)
Because there has to be something positive to talk about, and in part as a lead-in to going through my top 50 prospects heading into the year, there are a number of players of interest to look at instead of looking at Carl Pavano, Jason Marquis, and Nick Blackburn starts. Here are 6 stories at each currently-playing level (and one extra):
At Rochester:
1. Ben Revere is hitting well again, and while he is not drawing walks, it is interesting to see that batting average rise above .320. I still wonder what the season would look like if the Twins had decided, properly, to make Willingham be a professional baseball player and move to RF while Revere platooned in LF with Plouffe or by now, Matt Carson. That decision to keep the Hammer in left had a chain effect. Parmelee was kept where he didn't belong. Clete Thomas and Eric Komatsu were signed and Mastroianni has been brought up. Those last three moves made the nice compliment to Revere, Matt Carson, not a possibility, even though it looks like a good platoon in LF with Revere and Carson. Willingham is going to have to move to RF or maybe first base. Or at least he should. I don't really understand it. I am not claiming that this would have been a monumental shift in the outcome of the season, but it is undoubtedly the case that Revere would have brought more than those players trying to play RF this year.
2. Matt Carson is hitting very well. .780 OPS, and he can play all three OF spots. Can hit the ball a long way, even if he has only homered once so far.
3. Anthony Slama's numbers are ridiculously good. He is deserving of a shot with this team struggling so much. I almost would say that the Twins are trying to save face . . . like they don't want to promote him and have it turn out that he is a good reliever after all of this time keeping him in AAA while he dominated every year. The walks do not make his WHIP egregious at all.
4. Deolis Guerra will be up with the Twins this year. And it won't just because the Twins have to see what he can do--he will have deserved the chance. The velocity is down, but he and Slama are interesting hurlers who don't hurl very hard, yet are still dominating at triple AAA.
5. Lester Oliveros. Powerish reliever, should get a chance again with the Twins this year. He got some good innings in AA since the AAA bullpen was crammed. With Guerra, could be an effective RH middle relief duo who pitch rather differently (and maybe they may Alex Burnett a trade candidate)
6. Pedro Florimon. A solid pickup to add minor league depth, but may be appearing this year for the Twins if injury hits any of the three middle infielders.
At New Britain:
1. Deibinson Romero is returning to serviceability, and at a position of need for the Twins right now. I am surprised that he has not been called up to AAA yet, but given that the Twins have sent their two third basemen down to AAA, my surprise is unfounded.
2. Chris Colabello is a good story. The indy league acquisition is holding his own at AA with a .768 OPS. He has shown some good power.
3. Aaron Hicks--the prospect some Twins fans have come to love to hate--is doing fairly well this year and is showing that he belongs at AA. He is striking out too much, but is on base for a 15 homer/30 steal season this year.
4. Steve Hirschfeld--off-speed pitcher who is repeating New Britain with slightly better numbers. He is not a strikeout pitcher, but 32 in 40.2 innings isn't terrible.
5. David Bromberg--Please let this poor guy have a comeback year. A lot of people have forgotten about Bromberg who a few years ago looked like the guy who would be the first replacement once the Twins starting pitching started going down the toilet. He turns 25 in September. As a starter for New Britain, he has been dominant. He has struck out 20 in his last 16 innings while giving up only five hits and no runs.
6. Andrew Albers--Albers has had some struggles as a starter, but he profiles as a middle or long reliever. He has struck out 34 and walked only three in 42 innings.
At Fort Myers:
1. Oswaldo Arcia--It was a little scary seeing Arcia struggle out of the gate this year after falling off last year after his promotion to Fort Myers. He still strikes out too much, but he has already drawn more walks this year than he did in nearly twice the time in Fort Myers last year. If his numbers keep improving and he gets above the .850 OPS mark, he may be moving up to New Britain.
2. Danny Santana--Santana has hit better than I thought, and I actually had high expectations for him this year. He is young like Arcia, but still getting the job done at high-A. The .430 slugging from the middle infielder is very encouraging. The 4/18 BB/K ratio is not. He should work on his plate discipline and he may also be knocking on the door for a promotion late this season.
3. Lance Ray--Ray's numbers in Fort Myers project to be almost identical to those last year in Beloit. That's good in itself, but he also has improved with BB/K rate significantly at the same time. He could be a valuable corner OF/1B guy for the Twins down the road. He is crushing RH pitching this year.
4. Jairo Perez--Perez is showing that his gaudy Beloit numbers in 2011 weren't some fluke. He is killing LH pitching. If he can manage 3B at all, he might be a guy to see time if the post-Danny Valencia era arrives soon.
5. Ricky Bowen--Bowen has pitched 24 innings, striking out 20 and walking only five. He is rather old for Fort Myers, so I would like to see what he does in New Britain.
6. Matthew Hauser--Another guy who belongs in New Britain rather soon. Hauser throws hard and strikes guys out. He has now logged over 62 innings at Fort Myers with 63 strikeouts and 22 walks.
At Beloit:
1. Miguel Sano--Sano hasn't slowed down--he has sped up. And now he has more walks than he did all of last year. He could hit 30 homers this year if he stays in Beloit. He strikes out a lot, but that shouldn't shy the organization away from promoting him at some point this year. Striking out isn't the end of the world, and this kind of power is obviously terribly rare in the organization.
2. Eddie Rosario--The power numbers are down, but Rosario's BB/K rate is fantastic (20/17) and the .830 OPS is still very good. The homers are becoming doubles, but that is OK, especially if he can stick at 2B. He still needs ample time at Beloit this year.
3. Matthew Koch--The sample size is very small (49 plate appearances), but Koch's OPS is .879 and he has two homers. Oh, and he is a catcher.
4. Adam Pettersen--The .711 OPS for the guy forced to move all-around the field defensively has been a good showing. I actually think he showed perhaps be promoted first to Fort Myers given his age and defensive versatility. And he was born eight years to the day after yours truly, so there's that.
5. Tim Shibuya--Shibuya just threw a complete game shutout and has been excellent with very similar projected stats from E-Town. He could be a fast-riser in the system plagued by starting pitching prospect injuries and starting pitchers who are terrible yet still pitch in MLB.
6. A.J. Achter--Not sure why he isn't pitching at Fort Myers already. He now has 120+ innings at Beloit with 131 Ks and 40 BB. He is dominating righties this year.
And one more:
My adopted prospect, Chris Herrmann. In the interest of having two catchers on this "roster" I wanted to include Herrmann. He is not repeating his plate discipline from 2011, and that is rather alarming. His power numbers have certainly jumped. Hopefully he can put it altogether in the remainder of the year.
So, that's:
C: Chris Herrmann and Matthew Koch.
1B: Chris Colabello and Lance Ray
2B: Eddie Rosario and Adam Pettersen
SS: Pedro Florimon and Danny Santana
3B: Miguel Sano, Jairo Perez, and Deibinson Romero
OF: Ben Revere, Matt Carson, Aaron Hicks, and Oswaldo Arcia
Pitchers: Steve Hirschfeld, David Bromberg, Andrew Albers, Tim Shibuya, Anthony Slama, Deolis Guerra, Lester Oliveros, Ricky Bowen, Matt Hauser, and A.J. Achter

In the market for an iPhone, or a new cable provider for that matter? You might want to wait until next week.
Apple has sent out the invitations to its next media event and the speculation is already building. Steve Jobs and company will unveil its latest line of mystery gadgets on Sept. 1 at 9 a.m. in San Francisco.
Speculation is growing that Apple could introduce the long rumored two-camera, FaceTime ready iPod Touch. There are also reports that Jobs might pull the veil back on new features to Apple TV. Could Apple's cable fantasy finally come true?
The company has long been eyeing the possibility of taking a bite out of Hulu and Netflix's online success. Reports surfaced in 2009 that Jobs was pitching television executives about the idea of allowing "iTV" users to download their favorite shows for 99 cents an episode.
It was reported in Nov. 2009 that the service would go live in 2010. But at the time, Disney was reported to be the only company showing any interest in the idea. Jobs sits on Disney's board.
Apple of course could be lining up to take a run at Skype and just add FaceTime to Apple TV.

Droitwich held in goal-fest
7:00pm Thursday 11th October 2012 in Sport
DROITWICH got among the goals for a second week in a row in the West Midlands Division One as they drew 3-3 with Stafford on Saturday.
Matt Lee, Craig Timmis and Lee Wakelam hit the back of the net for Spa, who have drawn their first two matches of the season.
Spa visit to Solihull Blossomfield on Saturday.
Meanwhile, the seconds got off the mark with a hard-fought 1-1 draw with Stafford.
Goalkeeper Cameron Grant earned the man-of-the-match honours with a string of great saves.
Spa had the better of the opening exchanges and took an early lead from a clever deflection into the far corner from winger Luke Wicks.
As the game wore on, Stafford's youthful side created a number of chances and won a high number of short corners but were stopped every time by the impressive Grant.
But Stafford piled on the pressure and levelled the scores.
The thirds beat Bloxwich 2-0 thanks to goals from Joseph Neal and Pepe Eaglesfield.
Meanwhile, the fourths held Stafford fifths to a 0-0 draw thanks to keeper George Robertshaw.

Love this ottoman. Good quality - leather is smooth and fitted well. Stitching is secure (no loose threads. Hinges seem very sturdy. Not light-weight. Good amount of storage too.
This small storage ottoman is just what I was looking for, and the price was right. Has a nice pneumatic hinge. Holds a fair amount of smaller stuff, perfect for what I had in mind. Leatherette upholstery is OK, although I imagine it will not remain quite as nice as it is now, but that wasn't a big consideration for me.
I bought this storage cube to go in front of one of my leather couches and it looks great and is a perfect fit!! My throws fit inside and it is easy to clean and very comfortable. There was no assembly and my cat loves to lie on top of it also. Great buy for the money.
Great little cube. Sturdy, stylish, and great as a hassock and storage box for my pooch's toys, etc.
I got what I paid for, nothing special, just a brown box that fits under my counter in the bathroom. It is sturdy and works great.
The detail was hard to see in the online picture but I took a chance and am glad I did. We love these little storage ottomans. Perfect to rest our feet on, perfect for storing books, slippers, a throw, whatever you want to keep handy but out of sight. Perfect extra seating when you have to have it too. Hinges for the top are much better quality than expected. Very pleased!!

We've previously talked about the principles that guide us as we strive to continue delivering the most convenient ways to chat with the people who matter the most to you. Today we're taking another step, with the public availability of access to the Messenger network via XMPP, an open standard. This means that anyone can build innovative messaging clients—either stand-alone or built into their devices—that include access to Messenger's 300 million active users.
This builds on our perspective that you should simply be able to:
We continue with our commitment to these principles, especially around enabling people to access Messenger from all of their devices by exposing an XMPP interface to Windows Live Messenger. XMPP is the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol which is an open technology for real-time communication used by a number of popular IM networks from Google Talk to Facebook Chat and now Messenger.
With the release of the XMPP interface for Messenger, any XMPP based chat client that can also support OAuth 2.0 for authentication will be able to connect to Windows Live Messenger to enable people to see which of their friends are online and chat with them in real-time and.
We currently support the following XMPP specifications
Developers interested in learning more about our XMPP interface can check out our code samples on GitHub along with the overview documentation on the Live Connect developer center. These should give you enough information to get started building integration with the Messenger network into your mobile apps, devices and web sites.
As you look over our XMPP implementation, please share your comments and feedback with us in the comments or on our developer forums. We always look forward to hearing from our developer community and improving the product based on your feedback.
Given that it's the end of the year, I thought it would be informative to take stock of how what we've done so far to enable you to choose the device you want while continuing to enjoy our services. With this announcement, we now have universally available protocols for accessing all our major services. There's OAuth 2.0 for Live ID, a REST API for SkyDrive, Exchange Active Sync for Hotmail, and XMPP for Messenger.
Thanks to these protocols there is universal access to SkyDrive, Hotmail and Messenger either using Microsoft-authored applications on mobile platforms like Windows Phone and iOS or using applications written by other developers such as HandyScan on Windows Phone and Hotmail for Android by Seven.
As we go into the new year, rest assured that we have more ways we plan to delight developers and our customers as we further our vision of enabling users to choose the services and the devices they want without compromise.

can you please make TLS optional and not required? Yes making TLS required is a good thing for security. But many of your own Frameworks support no TLS on sockets, eg. WP7, Compact Framework or Micro Framework. So I am not able to connect with any of this Frameworks.
I have an account on live.co.uk which is "linked" with my yahoo account... so that I have nicely my contacts from both yahoo and msn in one client... using msn xmpp I had the surprise to get only my msn contacts... no trace of the yahoo ones... is this a feature or a bug?
@Xavier Claessens,
Thanks for the feedback on power saving mode. This is an important consideration for mobile devices and we'll keep this in mind as we plan future releases.
and the facebook power saving is "described" here: bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi
For the info, here is how google power saving works: mail.jabber.org/.../000528.html
@Dare Obasanjo: So I have 2 questions about the future improvements:
1) Given that this is clearly targeted to mobile apps, any plan to add power saving mode? There is no official XEP for this, but both google and facebook have their own incompatible way (sigh) for clients to tell the server that the mobile device is idle and so server should avoid sending not important messages to avoid waking up and save battery life.
At least Nokia N900 and N9 are using that power saving mode, and it proved really useful.
2) Any plan to add roster management, to add/remove contacts, see authorization requests, etc?
@Dare Obasanjo:
Yeah, I saw that post before. I was just hoping this might have been a slight change in direction. The idea of being able to chat with any federated XMPP network from the messaging hub on Windows Phone just blows my mind though. It would certainly be a big selling point.
I hope XMPP Server Federation will be enabled in the future. Not only for corporate networks, but just increasing messaging service interoperability in general is a good idea.
@Dare Obasanjo: awesome, that works! Do you know if facebook has similar flow to not having to ship a secret key? My oauth2 code is shared for facebook and msn atm...
:) Unforntunantly, I've not got much experience in this kind of stuff, but any chance this could lead to Gmail - WL chat?
I've tried to connect to xmpp.messenger.live.com on port 5222 or 5223 (SSL on) using iChat on my Mac without success. I guess it's not as simple as that?!? Works with Facebook and GTalk though ...
@Xavier Claessens We have a flow that enables mobile and desktop apps which does not require embedding the secret key in your application. The OAuth 2.0 protocol interactions in that case are documented at msdn.microsoft.com/.../hh243647.aspx (see step 8).
I don't understand where I can make an app without a secret key. And I need to provide the secret key to get the access-token, no?
The bug I mentioned is there since the first time I tried, was a month and a half ago.
FYI, I blogged about my work to get this in the GNOME desktop: blogs.gnome.org/.../msn-in-empathy-with-xmpp also explaining in the end of the post the legal issue with the client secret.
When can you add support for Group chat(groups.live.com)?
Currently Windows is the only platform that supports group chat, even cannot do this with Windows Phone...
@ OffBeatMammal read this it may apply to messenger aswell www.reddit.com/.../how_to_block_xbox_dashboard_ads
This release enables clients to connect with the Messenger network. We've written previously on the difference between connecting and federation in our blog post at windowsteamblog.com/.../betting-on-connect-100x-the-im-engagement-and-no-need-to-re-spam-your-friends-with-more-invites.aspx
We have standardized on OAuth 2.0 as the authentication and authorization protocol for our services. We currently do not support or encourage non-Microsoft applications to collect user credentials. See adactio.com/.../1357 for more on this perspective.
Thanks for the feedback on the error message. I'll discuss this with the team later today.
@Xavier Claessens
We have an option when configuring your app that prevents you from having to place the client secret in your code. Please see msdn.microsoft.com/.../hh561319
I believe our OAuth 2.0 end point is correctly documented on MSDN. Can you confirm that this was not a temporary error?
It's a good news but an other good news would be to have the official Live Messenger client on Linux platform !
Now this is a step in the right direction. I like this idea
@abm: with PUT I get a "method not supported" error message.
this are great news. I have updated our MatriX XMPP library to support your X-MESSENGER-OAUTH2 Sasl mechanism. See also:
@ Xavier Claessens, if its Restful, have you tried PUT verb?
I would like to point a bug in the server. I'm following doc from here: msdn.microsoft.com/.../hh278363
It says to do:
POST https://oauth.live.com/token
Content-Type: application/x-www.form-urlencoded
But doing this returns an html with "service temporaly unavailable".
That exact same request works with the facebook oauth2.
Doing a GET instead of POST make it work, though.
This is great news. Thank you for your work, we added Windows Live messenger in our app qiss.im chat for WP7. windowsphone.com/s .
This is great news. FYI, I already got this working in GNOME environement and is working just fine. However I think we have a legal issue: For the oauth2 authentification we need to provide an app ID and secret, but I don't think it is legal to publish the app secret as part of open source software, otherwise anyone could pretend being my app...
Google oauth authentification accepts "anonymous" app id/secret for this case. Any plan doing the same for live connect?
Xavier Claessens
Dear WLM team! First of all, welcome to the XMPP world.
Now for the bad news.
1. For some reason you think all existing clients should be "upgraded" with your custom OAuth2 SASL method. That's not nice. Thanks for letting us developers reuse our existing work on XMPP clients, but don't you think it'd be even better if we and our users could log in with, let's see, some typical SASL method such as… DIGEST-MD5? Maybe even PLAIN?
2. I've tried two different and valid WLM IDs with Psi and iChat. One is @gmail.com, and one is @live.com. Both were rejected way before the authentication even began - that is, they were rejected as soon as they tried to direct the stream to="gmail.com" and to="live.com".
Since this is just the case of the client not knowing how to differentiate the email address domain part from the JID domain part, you should handle this better than transmitting the confusing and probably grammatically incorrect error message "Unknown To Jid in the open stream stanza".
Helpful as I am, here's the communication log between the client and the server, with the first two lines being client communication, and the rest of the XML being, naturally, the server's response.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<stream:stream xmlns:stream="etherx.jabber.org/streams" version="1.0" xmlns="jabber:client" to="live.com" xml:lang="en" xmlns:xml="www.w3.org/.../namespace" >
<stream:stream from="messenger.live.com" version="1.0" id="357" xmlns="jabber:client" xmlns:stream="etherx.jabber.org/streams">
<host-unknown xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-streams"/>
<text xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-streams">Unknown To Jid in the open stream stanza</text>
It would show an immense amount of good will if you guys actually implemented the standards in a standard way. That is, if you provided authentication in a standard way.
Facebook provided DIGEST-MD5 authentication to make things extremely convenient for its users and allow use of existing XMPP clients. Why can't you guys do that?
My only question is, does this, or will it soon support XMPP Server Federation. I'd love to be able to use Messenger on Windows Phone to communicate with my Google Talk contacts.
I find myself of two minds: One one hand I'm really glad to see you embrace this standard. But considering that the XMPP standard is older than the 3rd-grade son, I can't help but think you're a bit late to this party.
On the whole, though, this is definitely a plus. You know what they say: Better late than never!
this is potentially great news. Does it mean that we can expect to see Messenger integration with (say) the Skype client in the same way they have Facebook integration sooner rather than later? Right now I use a 3rd party messenger client because a lot of my friends are on Live Messenger but I'm not a fan of the UX (if I could pay to remove the ads and screen real-estate stealing functionality I would, but I'd much prefer to consolidate on Skype as my single messenger client)
Does this mean that IM+ will get the windows messenger capability back?

I removed the tailgate emblem using fishing line then put on a aluminum black powder coated one to replace it and did the same in the front. Wednesday is Recon red smoked LED tail lights with LED reverse bulbs and a smoked LED 3rd brake light.
I should have read the How To article on debadging first... one of those eraser wheels would have saved me 45 minutes and not ripped apart my finger tips.

Bought the fluids for my T-case and front diff, then I spend an hour under the truck inspecting things and checking for damage or leaks. Everything looks good from what I can tell.
I hope more keep posting in here!

Well it was actually earlier this week, but I did an oil change. Then decided to to a front end inspection. Expected to find the ball joints to be worn as with the angle they are at on the uppers I figure they will wear fast. Good news is they are fine . Bad news is the passenger side hub bearing is going bad. I replaced the drivers side a couple years ago. At the time I was just going to replace both sets of bearings, until I found out it is a sealed unit with abs, studs etc. for the small cost of around $200 for the parts (each hub). Well needless to say at the time I said since the passenger side was fine it wasn't getting replaced. But now the time has come .David

Legislation to allow for horse processing facilities in Oklahoma passed the Oklahoma Senate Tuesday, following a lengthy battle between livestock producers and animal activists. HB 1999, sponsored by Sen. Eddie Fields and Rep. Skye McNiel, received 32 yes votes and 14 no votes in the Senate chamber.
"Oklahoma legislators have shown great courage and compassion for animals in passing this bill," said Mike Spradling, president of the Oklahoma Farm Bureau. "We especially want to praise Reps. McNiel and John Enns, and Sens. Fields and Mark Allen, for their leadership."
The bill now goes to Gov. Mary Fallin's desk where she is expected to sign the legislation into law.
Farm Bureau, along with a coalition of other agriculture groups, has supported the legislation from the day it was introduced earlier in the session.
"Oklahoma livestock and wildlife producers respect and care for animals," Spradling said. "This legislation provides a humane solution to the challenge of abandoned, abused and otherwise neglected horses."
In addition to Oklahoma Farm Bureau, the coalition includes the Oklahoma Cattlemen's Association, American Farmers and Ranchers, Oklahoma Pork Council, Livestock Marketing Association, Oklahoma Wildlife Management Association, Whitetails of Oklahoma and the Oklahoma Cotton Council.

No doubt they're tough questions. Settling upon St. Louis' best thin-crust pizza is like naming your favorite child.
The best coffee house? Where do you start? Pulled pork sandwich? How about all of them?
But readers could only choose one. And they chose wisely.
Patch on Wednesday announced the winners of its competition. Readers helped nominate local businesses and organizations for select categories then voted on them over a five-week period.
When all was said and done, Imo's Pizza, the chain that has more than 100 locations in the St. Louis-area, was deemed . The provel-loving restaurant beat out the likes of some of the best pizza parlors in town, such as , , and among others.
Another , was just as close. Landmark St. Louis restaurants such as , , and Carmine's among others were all nominated. Ultimately, prevailed.
And what would a St. Louis "best-of" contest be without beer? We asked readers where their favorite beer garden was and—not surprisingly— got the most votes.
Here's how the rest of the categories shook out. Tell us what you think of the winning roster by leaving a comment below!
