The Norman Transcript
To say Shawn Corey Carter (Jay-Z) has won in life would be an understatement.
To travel from the streets of New York to become a Grammy winner, CEO, entrepreneur, philanthropist, friend to President Barack Obama and husband to Beyonce, he has definitely made his mark in his 44 years on this earth.
In 2012, Forbes estimated Carter's net worth at nearly $500 million.
Despite the various hats Jay-Z now wears, he is still first and foremost a rapper. And he showed that Wednesday when he made a stop at the Chesapeake Energy Arena for the Magna Carter World Tour.
"I've heard legend of how loud it gets in Oklahoma City," Jay-Z told the sellout crowd. "My man Kevin Durant is here tonight. He told me y'all are loud as (stuff). I told him we shall see. We are about to have a legendary night in here tonight."
For the most part, Jay Z kept his word. Despite not taking the stage until almost 9:30 p.m., it took a little bit for the crowd to really get into the show. Many were still trying to make it to their seats. So the start had a disjointed feel to it. That included Durant and most of the members of the Oklahoma City Thunder who caused just as much of a hysteria when they took their seats in the section in front of the stage.
But by the time Jay-Z got to his latest hit, "Holy Grail" off the Magna Carter album, everyone was on their feet and it stayed that way for the rest of the night.
Unlike most acts that have performed at The Peake this year, Jay Z didn't have an opening act, a crew of dancers or any other side shows. Dressed in all black and white, it was just Jay Z, his band and a microphone on stage. It was a very old school approach that his fans engulfed.
"Let's take this night to another level," Jay Z said. "I still think we can take it to another level. Y'all want to take it to another level in here tonight?"
That led right into his performance of "99 Problems," which had his fan base going wild.
Jay Z took one break during the entire night. This allowed Timbaland to shine. Perched on one of the high risers, he went through a melody of songs he has produced from artists such as Justin Timberlake, Missy Elliot and Aaliyah.
Since Jay Z has been around since the mid-90s, his catalog of songs is seemingly infinite. That allowed him to move from one album to another throughout the night. But he got his biggest reactions from the fans anytime he did performed anything from Reasonable Doubt (1996), The Blue Print (2001), The Black Album (2003).
"I need a little confusion in here," Jay Z said. "It's too clean. The isles are clean. I need some people in the isles. I need some dancing and (stuff). I need a little chaos. Y'all are being too polite in here tonight. Hey security, stand down. It's OK. They paid a lot of money for these tickets. If you want to stand in your seat, you do what you got to do to make sure you have a great time tonight. Every body in the isle. Stand on your seats. Let's do this right."
After almost an hour and a half, Jay Z said good-bye as he walked off the darkened stage. But the fans weren't fooled. They knew he would be coming back for more. He bolted back on stage to his song "Encore."
The last half hour of the show included him stopping the music and giving several shoutouts to fans he noticed who had really been into the his performance or had on unique clothing. He gave them all a little camera time.
"A special shout out to my man KD in the building (KD is part of Jay Z's Roc Nation Sports agency)," Jay-Z said. "I told him when he walked into the room, this is my building tonight. He said slow down."
Then, just when you thought it was over, Jay had one last song left in him. He dedicated "Forever Young" to the late Nelson Mandela and asked for everyone in the arena to bring out their cell phones and lighters.
"No matter how many Grammies; no matter how many No. 1 record, nothing beats this sort of feeling right here," Jay Z said. "I love this. I appreciate every single person in this building. I will never get jaded. I will never get tired of this feeling."

Known for their oversized burritos, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. revealed yesterday that the company is the subject of a federal criminal investigation into its hiring practices.
"We intend to fully cooperate in the government's investigations," reads a disclosure filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) signed by Chipotle Chief Financial Officer John Hartung.
Chipotle, which has area locations in Hyattsville, College Park, Greenbelt and Bowie, is being investigated on allegations of hiring undocumented workers, according to a filing with the SEC.
This is not new territory for Chipotle. The company is also under investigation by the Department of Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement office and the SEC over violations of work authorization status requirements and disclosure violations.
"It appears that the Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission are both focused on our disclosures regarding work authorization compliance, both in our SEC filings and in our other communications with investors," Chipotle spokesperson Chris Arnold told The Wall Street Journal.

Memphis, Tenn.-based Hunter Fan introduced a Universal Internet Thermostat, which can be controlled in-home or remotely with a smartphone.
The company says consumers can dramatically cut heating and cooling costs by installing Hunter Fan's new Universal Internet Thermostat, which is controlled in-home or remotely with a smartphone app.
Hunter Fan has introduced its Universal Internet Thermostat, which is controlled in-home or remotely with a smartphone app. The energy-saving thermostat, which can also be programmed by a smartphone, retails for $99. According to the Memphis, Tenn., company, the product installs in five minutes.
West Chester, Pa.-based Air King added the do-it-yourself, snap-in BFQ80 exhaust fan to its line of ventilation fans.
The BFQ80 is an 80 CFM, 2.0 sone exhaust fan offering an Energy Star-qualified solution for residential ventilation needs, the company said.
"What makes the BFQ Series unique is the simple, one-person installation system," said Jeff Kenkelen, president, Air King. "Most 'traditional' fans utilize either a hanger bar or mounting tab system, while the BFQ is installed using a convenient mounting bracket."
Air King, the West Chester, Pa.-based exhaust fan manufacturer, introduced a dual-speed exhaust fan designed for cost-effective, energy-efficient ventilation.
The Air King model AK100D dual-speed Quiet Series exhaust fan features a low profile grill design and a spring-loaded, back draft damper prevents drafts from entering back into the room through the ducting.
Lasko, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission, has launched a voluntary recall of 4.8 million box-style fans due to the possibility of hazards associated with an electrical failure in the fan's motor.

In addition to the mRNA template, many molecules and macromolecules contribute to the process of translation. The composition of each component may vary across species; for instance, ribosomes may consist of different numbers of rRNAs and polypeptides depending on the organism. However, the general structures and functions of the protein synthesis machinery are comparable from bacteria to human cells. Translation requires the input of an mRNA template, ribosomes, tRNAs, and various enzymatic factors.
Link to Learning:
Click through the steps of this PBS interactive to see protein synthesis in action.
Even before an mRNA is translated, a cell must invest energy to build each of its ribosomes. In E. coli, there are between 10,000 and 70,000 ribosomes present in each cell at any given time. A ribosome is a complex macromolecule composed of structural and catalytic rRNAs, and many distinct polypeptides. In eukaryotes, the nucleolus is completely specialized for the synthesis and assembly of rRNAs.
Ribosomes exist in the cytoplasm in prokaryotes and in the cytoplasm and rough endoplasmic reticulum in eukaryotes. Mitochondria and chloroplasts also have their own ribosomes in the matrix and stroma, which look more similar to prokaryotic ribosomes (and have similar drug sensitivities) than the ribosomes just outside their outer membranes in the cytoplasm. Ribosomes dissociate into large and small subunits when they are not synthesizing proteins and reassociate during the initiation of translation. In E. coli, the small subunit is described as 30S, and the large subunit is 50S, for a total of 70S (recall that Svedberg units are not additive). Mammalian ribosomes have a small 40S subunit and a large 60S subunit, for a total of 80S. The small subunit is responsible for binding the mRNA template, whereas the large subunit sequentially binds tRNAs. Each mRNA molecule is simultaneously translated by many ribosomes, all synthesizing protein in the same direction: reading the mRNA from 5' to 3' and synthesizing the polypeptide from the N terminus to the C terminus. The complete mRNA/poly-ribosome structure is called a polysome.
The tRNAs are structural RNA molecules that were transcribed from genes by RNA polymerase III. Depending on the species, 40 to 60 types of tRNAs exist in the cytoplasm. Serving as adaptors, specific tRNAs bind to sequences on the mRNA template and add the corresponding amino acid to the polypeptide chain. Therefore, tRNAs are the molecules that actually "translate" the language of RNA into the language of proteins.
Of the 64 possible mRNA codons—or triplet combinations of A, U, G, and C—three specify the termination of protein synthesis and 61 specify the addition of amino acids to the polypeptide chain. Of these 61, one codon (AUG) also encodes the initiation of translation. Each tRNA anticodon can base pair with one of the mRNA codons and add an amino acid or terminate translation, according to the genetic code. For instance, if the sequence CUA occurred on an mRNA template in the proper reading frame, it would bind a tRNA expressing the complementary sequence, GAU, which would be linked to the amino acid leucine.
As the adaptor molecules of translation, it is surprising that tRNAs can fit so much specificity into such a small package. Consider that tRNAs need to interact with three factors: 1) they must be recognized by the correct aminoacyl synthetase (see below); 2) they must be recognized by ribosomes; and 3) they must bind to the correct sequence in mRNA.
Aminoacyl tRNA Synthetases
The process of pre-tRNA synthesis by RNA polymerase III only creates the RNA portion of the adaptor molecule. The corresponding amino acid must be added later, once the tRNA is processed and exported to the cytoplasm. Through the process of tRNA "charging," each tRNA molecule is linked to its correct amino acid by a group of enzymes called aminoacyl tRNA synthetases. At least one type of aminoacyl tRNA synthetase exists for each of the 20 amino acids; the exact number of aminoacyl tRNA synthetases varies by species. These enzymes first bind and hydrolyze ATP to catalyze a high-energy bond between an amino acid and adenosine monophosphate (AMP); a pyrophosphate molecule is expelled in this reaction. The activated amino acid is then transferred to the tRNA, and AMP is released.

2008 Forester
I am helping a friend get a new car & Foresters are on her short list (though I am trying to convince her she does not need AWD) in Western WA.
I see that there are great rebates on the 2007 & 2008 Forester X. It looks like there have been few if any changes between the 07 & 08 models. Is there any compelling reason to get an 08 vs. a new 07 if the prices are similar?

None whatsoever. Go 07 if you can get a cheaper price and you should be able to.
And Suby's are great even on water not just snow. AWD is worth its weight in gold in my opinion. My girlfriend came from a Jimmy and loves the feeling of gripping the road. She no longer has to "aim" her vehicle and can now drive. Safety was a big selling point with her and Suby's are about as safe as you can get short of 5 tons of steel around you...
"... MSN's Dan Jedlicka indicates the 2008 Forester has a "stiff clutch"... "
I just test drove a manual X and XT. The XT clutch was a quite bit stiffer than the very easy clutch in my Scion xB, and seemed stiffer than the clutch in X. On the short drive I was not able to do many smooth shifts with the XT, and it was easier to do in the X. Maybe the turbos have a stronger clutch than the NA engines.
I did the subtraction and came up a HP difference too. But it was more like 51 HP ;-) I felt and assumed a stronger clutch, but sales literature does not say that the XT has different clutch. The effect for me, in driving both an X and XT 5-speed, was that that the XT was harder to shift smoothly.
The literature states that premium fuel is "recommended" for the Turbo models. "Recommended", but not required: does anyone have any experience, or reference sites regarding the use of regular fuel in the Turbos? I believe the engine management system compensates for variations in the octane, and of course there will be some loss of peak power under full load, but what about longevity and warranty issues? Anyone?
I can see the likely loss of power, which I can live with, and mileage loss: If it is less than a 10% MPG loss the lower gas costs (regular is about 10% less than premium hereabouts) would likely offset that. Could you tell me what the longevity issues could be please.

A government watchdog is calling for stronger oversight of air safety in response to a series of disclosures by air traffic controllers and other Federal Aviation Administration whistleblowers.
Special Counsel Carolyn Lerner, whose job is to protect from retaliation government employees who expose mismanagement or wrongdoing, sent letters Tuesday to the White House and Congress detailing a series of "troubling" FAA whistleblower cases.
Lerner said in a statement that FAA has one of the highest rates of whistleblower filings per employee of any government agency.
The counsel's office has received 178 whistleblower disclosures from FAA employees since 2007 — 89 of which related to aviation safety. Forty-four cases were referred to the Transportation Department for investigation, and all but five were substantiated.

As news broke Monday that Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine is away on vacation as residents cope with the blizzard's aftermath, Three Village Patch readers reported more than 70 streets in town untouched by plows.
"This situation has gone from mere incompetence to outright negligence," commenter Shawn Nuzzo said.
Public school officials in Three Village were forced to cancel school a second day, with a school spokeswoman saying the dangerous roads were the reason why school officials made that decision.
"What I can not understand is there are streets in our area that are so clean you can see the blacktop, then there are streets with 30 inches of snow that have not been touched!" commenter JA said.
Commenter Deborah in the neighborhood of Old Field South said: "This is disgraceful. There are no excuses anymore for this."
Commenter Joseph, who lives on Caroline Avenue, said: "It is the smallest street and every surrounding street is done... did they just somehow forget this road?"
Brookhaven Town officials have not responded to multiple requests for comment regarding streets that have not yet been plowed as of Monday evening. On Sunday, Councilman Steve Fiore-Rosenfeld, who lives in the Three Village area, wrote a scathing open letter to Romaine and acting highway superintendent Michael Murphy.
"Understanding that this nearly 30 inches snow fall is perhaps the worst in record – there still appears to be a complete and systematic breakdown in the ability of the Town Highway Department to respond to this crisis. ... We need to fully assess all town, county, state, and maybe national ability – as well as private means – to clear these local town roadways," Fiore-Rosenfeld wrote in the letter.
He warned that emergency responders were going to have a difficult time reaching people who needed help, and he was right. Fire chiefs from both the Setauket Fire Department and the Stony Brook Fire Department acknowledged their crews had trouble reaching those in need during urgent calls for help.
Two areas that appeared to have fewer problems with plows were the villages of Poquott and Old Field, both of which had to establish private contracts after the town ended its policy of plowing snow for the villages last year.
"The Town no longer provides snow removal or salt/sanding for any Brookhaven Village. We're all on our own," said Poquott Mayor Barbara Donovan. "Considering the amount of snow we received, our contractors did a great job."
Old Field Mayor Michael Levine echoed her sentiments. "Our village did fine, thanks to our snow removal contractor, Joe LaRosa. He was incredibly on top of things, and our residents were extremely satisfied with the way the main roads in the village were cleared," he said.
Late Monday evening, some commenters on the Three Village Patch Facebook page reported that plows had started to come through at last. But one commenter reported that a payloader plowing snow without any lights reportedly destroyed a cable junction box that took out services to that block's residents in East Setauket.
"This is truly pathetic...one local storeowner said it best... 'it's like we are living in a third world country!'" commenter Reality Check said.
Has your block been plowed yet? How do you feel about the situation in your part of Brookhaven Town? Keep the discussion going by logging into Patch and commenting here.

The scattered showers and storms which crossed Hunt County this week were a nice change for August in Texas, as were the cooler temperatures during the past two days.
But the unusual summer weather did little to alleviate the county's severe drought conditions. A ban on outdoor burning remains in effect and water use restrictions remain in place as the levels on area lakes continue to drop.
The latest readings for the United States Drought Monitor indicate all of Hunt County remains under a severe drought.
The Keetch-Byram Drought Index measures soil moisture. A reading of 800 is the highest on the scale, meaning that it would take eight or more inches of rainfall to bring the soil to saturation.
Friday afternoon, the county's readings under the index ranged from 507 to 710 with an average across the county of 641.
Hunt County was placed under a ban on outdoor burning Monday, as County Judge John Horn signed a disaster declaration in the wake of drought conditions and several recent major fires.
The ban on outdoor burning will remain in effect until at least Monday morning, at which time the Commissioners Court will decide whether to renew the ban.
A special session of the Hunt County Commissioners Court has been scheduled for 9 a.m. Monday in the Auxiliary Courtroom, 2700 Johnson Street in Greenville.
Under the ban no outdoor burning is permitted in the unincorporated areas of the county, including the burning of household garbage. This order does not restrict the outdoor use of welding, cutting torches and other similar tools, provided a separate individual is present to observe for fires and sparks and to have some type of fire extinguisher present. The order does not prohibit outdoor cooking but it does restrict the cooking activities to an enclosed apparatus, designed for cooking purposes.
The North Texas Municipal Water District has implemented Stage 3 outdoor watering restrictions, which means residential and business customers served by the district are limited to landscape watering with sprinkler or irrigation systems once every seven days. Other restrictions apply, depending on the city.
The City of Greenville is currently under Stage 2 water restrictions. Landscape irrigation is limited to Sundays and Thursdays for customers with a street address ending in an even number and Saturdays and Wednesdays for customers with a street address ending in an odd number. Landscape irrigation is permitted at anytime with a hand-held hose, a faucet filled bucket or watering can of five gallons or less, or a drip irrigation system.
The level on Lake Tawakoni, from which the City of Greenville pumps water to help maintain the levels on the municipal reservoir system, was listed at 430.05 feet Friday afternoon, down more than seven feet from the lake's pool elevation of 437.5 feet, but still above the all-time lowest level seen on reservoir — 424.9 feet — which was recorded on Dec. 29, 2006.

We seldom have had the need or opportunity to resolve any issues, so I could only answer as we are completely satisfied. We enjoy the location and availability of Uncle Bob's, and it is always clean! We have had a large unit while selling our house and purchasing a smaller one. We hope to soon sell items on E-Bay, but anticipate needing a small unit for our needs after we hae downsized considerably, and still need storage space for seasonal items. We look forward to a long term relationship with Uncle Bob! ThanksLinda from Mooresville, NC

November 7, 2011
It took all 19 weeks of the regular season to sort out the playoff picture in the CFL, but after last week's games the two matchups in the semifinal round are set, while East Division winner Winnipeg and West Division winner British Columbia enjoy a week off.
Last Thursday, Toronto closed-out its season on a strong note with a 33-16 victory over Hamilton as one-point home underdog. Edmonton posted a 23-20 win over Saskatchewan in Friday's only game, but came nowhere close to covering as as a nine-point home favorite. Things really heated up on Saturday with Calgary taking out the Blue Bombers 30-24 in a game that ended as a 'push.' Montreal then came up woefully short in a 43-1 loss to the Lions as a three-point road underdog in a game that cost it the East title while securing the West for BC in a three-way tie breaker.
The following is brief preview of this upcoming Sunday's playoff games along with the opening point spread and 'over/under' lines as provided by TheGreek.com.
Sunday, Nov. 13
Hamilton Tiger Cats vs. Montreal Alouettes (-5 ½) Over/Under (55 ½)
Hamilton enters the postseason as the sixth seed with an overall record of 8-10 straight-up (9-9 against the spread) after losing three of its last five games. It is 2-7 SU (4-5 ATS) on the road this season and the total has stayed 'under' in its last six games overall. Montreal brings a rare three-game losing streak into this matchup; ending the regular season 10-8 SU but just 6-12 ATS. It went 6-3 SU (3-6 ATS) at home this season and the total has stayed 'under' in three of its last four games overall.
These two teams met four times this season. The series ended-up evenly split 2-2 SU, but the Tiger Cats do hold a 3-1 edge ATS. The Alouettes won both games at home SU, but failed to cover as six-point home favorites in a 27-25 victory on Oct. 27. The total stayed 'under' in both of the games in Montreal. Hamilton is 5-1 ATS in the last five meetings overall and 12-5 ATS in their last 17 road games in this series. The total has stayed 'under' in eight of the last 11 games.
The Tiger Cats finished the regular season averaging 26.7 points a game, while the Alouettes led the CFL in scoring with an average of 28.6 points a game.
Calgary Stampeders vs. Edmonton Eskimos (-2 ½) Over/Under (51 ½)
Calgary finished the regular season at 11-7 SU overall (10-7-1 ATS) after winning its final three games. It is 6-2 both SU and ATS on this road this year and the total has gone 'over' in four of its last five games. Edmonton went 4-1 SU down the stretch to finish 11-7 SU as well. It is 9-9 ATS overall and the total has stayed 'under' in four of its last five games. It was 6-3 SU (4-5 ATS) in nine homes this season.
The Stampeders beat the Eskimos 30-20 in Week 11 as three-point favorites on the road, after losing the first two games this season as home favorites. Calgary lost the first game 24-19 as a three-point favorite and the next game 35-7 as an 8.5-point favorite. The total stayed 'under' in all three games. The Stampeders are 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings overall and 4-1 ATS in their last five trips to Edmonton. The total has gone 'over' in five of the last six games played there.
The Stampeders were tied with BC for the second most points in the CFL at 511, while the Eskimos gave-up the second fewest points in the league at 401.

Brisbane Concert
Totally blown away! Loved the concert, how great is Nickelback! So thankful that they did not forget their Aussie fans for their tour. Wished Brisbane got more than one show I would have loved to have gone to see them again, but it wasn't to be. Sadly now how long will it be before we get the chance to see them in action again. AWESOME!

Twins Consensus Top 71 Prospects List (off-season rankings)
by, 05-23-2012 at 09:24 AM (1322 Views)
Originally published at The Tenth Inning Stretch
This is way overdue. My goal was to get it a. within the few days of theseason (that passed) and then b. before the amateur MLB draft that will bring in a new influx of talent to the Twins. So I am sticking with it. And Seth Stohs already starting his mid-season rankings, really made me want to get this up before it is too obsolete. And before I post my post-draft rankings for 2012
I have not done prospect rankings for a couple of years now, mainly because I did not see the players play. Now that I have spent a good 15 hours or so watching Twins' prospects of all levels live in Spring Training, I feel confident to create a post-draft top prospects list (or 2 really; I like to separate pitchers from position players in these lists; ) this had to come up first as a housekeeping item. Thus, I decided to do a consensus list. What is a consensus list? A consensus (or aggregate or composite) ranking is a ranking based on other rankings calculating averages. This is what this list is.
A bit about methodology: I combined 25 rankings of Twins top prospects. Some of them were top 10, some of them top 50. So I ended up with 71 names. The players were scored from 1 until the last position in the ranking (lets say 10 in a ten prospect list) and the ones who appeared in the master list but did not appear in the individual list were scored as one over the lowest ranking (i.e. prospects in the master list, but not in a top 10 list were scored as 11). The reason that this is required, is to not have artificially highrankings when results were averaged from players omitted in most lists but ranked high in one or 2. After all players in the master list were scored this way, their average scores were calculated and a new consensus ranking was created. This is the consensus list I am presenting here.
What are the 25 sources? They are both national and local to the Twins'area, both professional and bloggers. And they are were weighted the same. My rationale in this is a. several Twins bloggers (Seth Stohs, for one) have a much more intimate view of the Twins' system than Baseball America. and b. Twins' bloggers care more and pay more attention to the Twins' system and get to watch more Twins' MiLB games than Keith Law, Johnathan Mayo or Kevin Goldstein. But the other guys have "professional" opinions. So here every opinion weighs the same. Here is a list of the 25 sources (alphabetically) :
Baseball America
Baseball Intellect
Jim Crikket (Knuckleballs)
Aaron Gleeman
Keith Law
Kevin Goldstein (Baseball Prospectus)
Fanatic Jack Steal
Field of Twins
Gear up for Twins baseball

Twinkie Town - community ranking
This is what the master list looks in Excel:
And if you want to have a close look, original size is here (and I did copy and paste a row -Lance Ray- twice; this would not fit in one screen)
There are 71 names in the list, but six of the players listed are no longer with the Twins for various reasons (alphabetically) : Matt Bashore, Philip Chapman, Tony Davis, Terry Doyle and Kane Holbrooks
Without further ado, here is the consensus rankings list of the top Twins' prospects this off-season (one can call it "post 2011 season" ) list :
1 Miguel Sano 3B
2 Eddie Rosario 2B/OF
3 Oswaldo Arcia OF
4 Aaron Hicks OF
5 Joe Benson OF
6 Liam Hendriks P
7 Kyle Gibson P
8 Levi Michael IF

23 Garlos Gutierrez P
24 Nate Roberts IF/OF
25 BJ Hermsen P
26 Matt Hauser P
27 Matt Summers P
28 Pat Dean P
29 JaDamion Williams OF
30 Jairo Perez IF
31 Deolis Guerra P
32 Tyler Robertson P
33 Corey Williams P
34 Logan Darnell P
35 Scott Diamond P
36 Danny Rams C/OF
37 Jorge Polanco IF
38 Lance Ray OF
39 Danny Santana IF
40 Lester Oliveros P
41 Tyler Grimes IF

43 Danny Ortiz IF
44 Angel Mata P
45 Tim Shibuya P
46 James Beresford IF
47 Michael Gonzales 1B
48 Bruce Pugh P
49 Cole DeVries P
50 Michael Tonkin P
51 Dakota Watts P
52 Nelvin Fuentes P
53 Bobby Lanigan P
54 Rory Rhodes 1B/OF
55 Evan Bigley OF
56 Kennys Vargas 1B/OF
57 Andrew Albers P
58 Anthony Slama P
59 Anderson Hidalgo IF/OF
60 Ryan O' Rourke P
61 Hung-yi Chen P
62 Danny Lehmann C
63 Darin Mastroianni OF
64 Derek Rodriguez OF
65 Luis Nunez P
66 Kyle Waldrop P
Just thinking about the 2012 Twins' draft and how they might want to supplement the system, there are way too many OFs and not enough Ps in the top spots (and this is not about to change in the mid-season rankings) and there are not enough infielders in the whole system (other than the top 2 spots).

Daniel Alfredsson is the captain of the Ottawa Senators. He is a terrific forward and knows how to progress a team through each and every game. He is responsible for 59 points last season, not to mention leading his team into the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Not only is he a great player from Sweden, hes a great player both on and off the ice. This past season he won the King Clancy Memorial Trophy, which is awarded to the player who best exemplifies leadership qualities on and off the ice. This is Beyond the C: The Story of Daniel Alfredsson.
Daniel started his career in Sweden, playing for the Frölunda HC. He was selected only 133rd overall in the 1994 NHL Entry Draft by the Senators. Many NHL scouts had overlooked Alfredsson and it took a lot of convincing for them to listen to John Ferguson in the front office about his hunch on Alfredsson. Needless to say, they probably are still thanking him. His first season, he won the Calder Memorial Trophy as Rookie of the Year. He had played a full 82 games and scored 61 points. He battled a few injuries here and there between the first season and the season before the lockout. In the 1999-00 season, Alfredsson was named captain of the Ottawa Senators due to former captain Alexei Yashin refusing to honor his contract with Ottawa.

The average homeowner in Lehigh County will pay $44 less in taxes in 2013 than they do this year, under a county budget that includes both a tax cut next year and a tax credit.
Under the budget, county spending will be cut by $3.5 million next year, taxes reduced by $3 million and tax credits given that amount to $3.5 million, said Tom Muller, the county's director of administration.
The spending and tax cuts are the result of a lengthy budget process that resulted in Lehigh County Executive Bill Hansell offering a compromise budget that withstood a possible veto override Wednesday night by Lehigh County Commissioners.
Muller said the average tax bill, for a home valued at $178,000, will be reduced to $670 from $714. Those with homes valued higher will see more savings, and those with homes valued lower will see less, he said.
Hansell's original budget proposal provided $6.5 million in tax credits to homeowners but kept the tax rate the same.
Then, a Republican faction on the Board of Commissioners passed budget amendments that called for $5 million in spending cuts, $1.5 million in tax credits and a 4.8 percent cut in the tax rate.
Hansell, a Democrat, argued the Republican-added budget amendments could not be achieved or sustained, and using his line-item veto power earlier this month, he offered the budget compromise, according to a report in The Morning Call.
Muller said all three plans would have resulted in an average $44 savings for taxpayers.
A supermajority of the board -- six of nine commissioners -- would have been needed to override Hansell's veto of the budget amendments.
At Wednesday's commissioners' meeting, the bloc of five Republicans who wanted deeper cuts and a smaller tax credit — Scott Ott, Vic Mazziotti, Lisa Scheller, Michael Schware and Tom Creighton — voted for a veto override, according to The Morning Call and the Express-Times. Republicans Brad Osborne and Percy Dougherty, and Democrats Dan McCarthy and David Jones supported the compromise budget.

Fitbit Flex & Tory Burch Accessories
By Beth Blair on July 18, 2014
Digital pedometers are all the rage and for good reason. You can track your daily progress, motivate friends and update your steps via your phone. When I first started wearing a Fitbit One in early 2013, thanks to the intel of my life coach at the time, Kate Larson, no one I knew owned one. Thus, I competed with myself to reach 10,000 steps a day and it was eye opening. The real "wow" was when I traveled. Seeing my activity jump from my work at home days (3,000 steps) to working out or playing tennis (12,000) to sticking with taking the stairs on a Princess Cruise and working out (20,000) curbed my awareness of my daily activity levels whether I'm on the road or home. You can read about my "ah-ha" moment on Shape. Today, I have many Fitbit friends (including my husband) who challenge each [Read more]

Poem about People
The jaunty crop-haired graying
Women in grocery stores,
Their clothes boyish and neat, . . .
The jaunty crop-haired graying
Women in grocery stores,
Their clothes boyish and neat, . . .
Passing the American graveyard, for my birthday
the crosses stuttering, white on tropical green,
the years' quick focus of faces I do not remember . . . . . .
Out of the deep and the dark,
A sparkling mystery, a shape,
Something perfect, . . .
My youth? I hear it mostly in the long, volleying
Echoes of billiards in the pool halls where
I spent it all, extravagantly, believing . . .
I summon up Panofskv from his bed
Among the famous dead
To build a tomb which, since I am not read, . . .
I was angry with my friend;
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe: . . .
From flowering gnarled trees
they come, weighing down
the branches, dropping . . .
Ventura because she was hungry and because
She was curious—but more because she was curious—
Took the dare, a kiss for a pomegranate. . . .
At this hour the soul floats weightlessly
through the city streets, speechless and invisible,
astonished by the smoky blend of grays and golds . . .
Your mind and you are our Sargasso Sea,
London has swept about you this score years
And bright ships left you this or that in fee: . . .

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

The Madison County program to aid victims of domestic violence and their families will now be able to keep its doors open until at least June 2014 thanks to the support of the community and grants.
Representatives from Hope's Wings spoke at Tuesday's fiscal court meeting, thanking the elected officials for their continued financial support.
In February 2010, the program had to cease full-time operations because of a lack of funds. Hope's Wings Board Chair Barbara Bentley said during that time several laid-off workers continued to work for the agency as full-time volunteers.
However, new grants have allowed the program to reopen full time last year.
"Hope's Wings is financially sound," Bentley said.
In 2006, the Madison Fiscal Court, in agreement with other local elected bodies and groups, helped a group of residents who attend Richmond's First Christian Church to obtain a state grant to create the program. The money was used to purchase five acres of land and build a 5,000-square-foot emergency shelter.
Since its opening, the emergency shelter has housed 300 women and children, Director Jennifer Lainhart said. The agency also provides transitional housing; child, court and medical advocacy; a 24/7 emergency line; counseling and support groups and community referrals.
"Victims of domestic violence come from all walks of life," Bentley said.
Another grant allowed the program to hire a retired Kentucky State Police trooper as a special victims investigator last year, Lainhart said. In 2011, 20.9 percent of emergency protective orders went unserved because respondents could not be located.
However, in 2012, the proportion had shrunk to 10.2 percent, Lainhart said.
Hope's Wings will have its second annual Jail and Bail event April 19 with all "bail" proceeds to benefit the program. To nominate someone to be "jailed," contact Jennifer Lainhart at 623-4095 or email@example.com.
Also at the meeting, the fiscal court:
• Approved a resolution to apply for federal funding to build an additional two miles of walking trails at the Battlefield Park.
Clark said the grant money comes from the Federal Highway Enhancement Fund, which is distributed to each state. Applications for grants are sent to the state Department of Transportation.
Previous grants from the fund have been used for a variety of improvements at county parks, Clark said. The county is expected to provide a 50-percent cash or in-kind match to the grant, which Clark said usually is met by county workers performing the labor required for the project.
• Decided to have a special-called meeting at 9:30 a.m. Monday in Richmond to select the architectural firm that will design the $4 million, 13,000 square foot expansion of the county's Emergency Operations Center.
Eight bids were received for the architectural contract, and Emergency Management Director Carl Richards said interviews were being conducted this week with each of the firms.
Clark said because of the strict timetable for the expansion's construction, a recommendation must be made to the fiscal court by Monday.
The EOC expansion, which is being federally funded, is part of the preparations for destruction of chemical weapons being stored at the Blue Grass Army Depot. The Army wants the center to be around-the-clock operational by 2016.
• Discussed a delay in the White Hall Road work. Clark said the county is currently waiting on an encroachment permit from the state before proceeding with the reconstruction work.
• Discussed the upcoming bid for work on Wilderness Road. The bid will be publicized in April with the expectation of work commencing in mid-May. The road will be widened to 16 feet, black-topped and as much shoulder as possible will be added, Clark said. Also, about four "rough" spots will be worked on.
• Talked about when the new truck for dead livestock pick-up and disposal will be ready. The county had previously accepted a bid for a 16-foot aluminum truck bed that is being fitted to an International 7400-series truck.
The vehicle is expected to be on the road by mid-May. The county received a $50,000 grant through the Madison County Tobacco Settlement Board to purchase the new truck.

Hearing dates set in both Common Core lawsuits
Mid-August hearing dates have been set for dueling lawsuits over Louisiana's use of the Common Core education standards in public schools.
- Jul. 30, 2014
You will be redirected to the page you want to view in seconds.
Mid-August hearing dates have been set for dueling lawsuits over Louisiana's use of the Common Core education standards in public schools.
University Elementary School first- through fifth-graders will tackle experiments in a new, weekly math/science enrichment program that aims to reinforce their everyday classroom work.
The Louisiana Department of Revenue is reminding parents to keep their receipts for all the purchases made to send their children back to school.
BATON ROUGE The ongoing dispute between the state's top public education officials and the governor's office over Gov. Bobby Jindal's efforts to keep the Department of Education from using a Common Core-related test branched into new territory Thursday.
The state education board has hit a roadblock from Gov. Bobby Jindal's administration in its efforts to hire a law firm to pursue a possible lawsuit against the governor.
A group of parents and teachers who support the Common Core education standards have filed a lawsuit against Gov. Bobby Jindal because of his actions against the multi-state standards.
A group of state lawmakers has filed a lawsuit challenging the way the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Department of Education adopted and implemented Common Core State Standards.
Seventeen state lawmakers are heading to court to try to stop Louisiana's use of the Common Core education standards in public schools.
Louisiana Board of Elementary and Secondary Education members and state Education Superintendent John White say they agree with Gov. Bobby Jindal that choosing a new test vendor requires following state bid law.
The idea of shifting state money traditionally used to pay for public school education into a fund that would pay for construction at charter schools chilled some members of the State Bond Commission.
After sitting through more than an hour of what the governors chief of staff called a history of corruption in this state and Gov. Bobby Jindals repeated emphasis that the state procurement law must be followed when selecting a firm to supply test materials, Superintendent of Education John White said there was no progress toward settling the real point of contention between the two.
Stealing the title of Gov. Bobby Jindals book, Public Affairs Research Council President Robert Scott said today that Louisiana education is experiencing Leadership and Crisis in education failing its citizens and the governor is chiefly responsible.
Three members of the Louisiana Board of Elementary and Secondary Education who agree with Gov. Bobby Jindal that the state should drop Common Core State Standards say their leadership should not have offered a compromise in the dispute with Jindal without receiving input from the board.
After weeks of public disagreement, Gov. Bobby Jindal and Education Superintendent John White have their first sit-down Thursday since the governor stalled White's testing contracts as a way to undermine Louisiana's use of the Common Core standards.
A proposed compromise offered Wednesday by the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education leadership for purchasing accountability test questions sparked even more controversy over what types of questions would be used this year and who would develop them.
As Gov. Bobby Jindal and Superintendent of Education John White prepare for their meeting tomorrow to try to settle a dispute over what accountability test will be administered this fall, the states top school board has sent the governor a compromise proposal.
Movie theaters around the country, including Shreveport, have been booked on July 22 to stream a two-hour live discussion of perceived problems with Common Core State Standards and methods that opponents can use to get their states out of commitments to use the standards.
Louisiana schools will soon be able to tap into a $2 billion pool of federal money to improve wireless connectivity on their campuses. The Federal Communications Commission has approved a plan to funnel the money over two years towards high-speed Wi-Fi in public and private schools and in libraries.
Louisiana's Department of Education says the percentage of state high-school students graduating within four years has increased again.
The leadership of the Louisiana Board of Elementary and Secondary Education and state Education Superintendent John White are awaiting Gov. Bobby Jindal's response to a proposed compromise they hope eases recent tension over testing students.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal has scheduled a meeting July 17 with state Education Superintendent John White to try to negotiate a compromise in their dispute over testing tied to the Common Core education standards and related testing program, the governors office announced Wednesday.
The leadership of the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education and Superintendent John White have offered to Gov. Bobby Jindal a compromise they hope eases some of his opposition to a nationally comparable test.
More than 8,800 students have been awarded vouchers to attend Louisiana private schools with taxpayer dollars in the upcoming school year, a 30 percent growth in the program championed by Gov. Bobby Jindal.
Caddo Parish School Board members Tuesday will vote on immediate repairs to a fire-damaged hall at Booker T. Washington High School instead of putting the project out for bids.
Trying to avoid a lawsuit against Gov. Bobby Jindal, the state's top school board wants a meeting between the governor and Louisiana's education superintendent, hoping the two men can end a dispute over public school standardized tests.
A new law set to take effect in August could have Union Parish school buses driving nearly 1.5 million miles per year, twice what they ran in the past school year.
Officials are warning that a new state law could cause a big increase in school bus costs and travel times across Louisiana.
The Jindal administration has taken its battle with Superintendent John White to a new level, canceling some of the Department of Education's contract authority to get the department to stop implementing Common Core.
The Jindal adminstration has greatly curtailed the Department of Educations authority to approve contracts in its battle to force Superintendent of Education John White to drop plans to continue implementing Common Core and a related testing instrument.
There's a wrinkle in the state education board's plan to hire attorneys for advice on a possible lawsuit against Gov. Bobby Jindal: The contract for special legal counsel appears to need the governor's approval.
The Shreveport Fire Department responded to a fire at Booker T. Washington High School on Wednesday afternoon.
The Board of Elementary and Secondary Education is hoping Gov. Bobby Jindal and Superintendent John White can negotiate a settlement in their dispute over purchasing a Common Core-related test.
BESE's twice-revised special meeting agenda deals with getting an update on Gov. Bobby Jindal's executive orders upsetting the plan to purchase a Common Core-related test and discussion of whether to hire an attorney to file a legal challenge to his orders. It also allows for a closed-door executive session to receive legal advice concerning the orders.
Gov. Bobby Jindal has signed a bill that backers say will offer special education students a new route to a high school diploma.
As the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education prepares for a meeting tomorrow to decide whether to legally challenge Gov. Bobby Jindals executive orders blocking the purchase of a test planned to be used this school year, three BESE members today expressed their desire for an alternative.
It may be a week until the Fourth of July, but that didn't stop students and faculty members at Shreve Island Elementary from celebrating Independence Day.
Superintendent of Education John White and Gov. Bobby Jindal, once allies on Common Core standards, continued their war of words and actions Thursday.
Louisiana Association of Business and Industry President Stephen Waguespack voiced his support for the national Common Core educational standards during a joint luncheon of the Monroe and West Monroe-West Ouachita Chambers of Commerce on Thursday.
The number of Louisiana high school seniors prepared for college and career training continued to climb this year, a report on the results of this years ACT exams shows.
Over 1,700 more Louisiana students are eligible for TOPS this year, according to information released Thursday by the Louisiana Department of Education.
Gov. Bobby Jindal's administration says there shouldn't be delays in scoring standardized tests taken by some public school fourth-graders and eighth-graders this summer.
The Board of Elementary and Secondary Education will meet next week to discuss behind closed doors what steps to take in dealing with Gov. Bobby Jindal's efforts to shut down testing based on Common Core standards.

A Pearl River woman involved in a domestic dispute in Tappan early Monday morning was charged with drunken driving and endangering two children by leaving them home alone, according to Orangetown Police.
Maureen P. Maye, 50, was stopped by a town officer at 2:25 a.m. for speeding and driving erratically in a red 2001 Honda Civic on Lester Drive in Tappan. Police were investigating a report of a domestic dispute on Summit Avenue in Tappan around the same time and had learned one of the people involved had driven off in a red Honda.
Police said they confirmed that it was Maye who was involved in the incident on Summit Avenue. At the time, police said Maye appeared intoxicated and failed several field sobriety tests.
Maye was taken to Orangetown Police Headquarters in Orangeburg, where police said she refused to take a chemical breath test for alcohol. While Maye was at police headquarters, police said they received information that Maye might have left two children, ages 9 and 12, unsupervised at her home in Pearl River.
Police said two town officers went to her home and confirmed two children were home alone.
Maye was charged with driving while intoxicated, a misdemeanor, and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child, a misdemeanor. She was also cited for traffic violations.
Maye was later released to a friend pending a Feb. 20 hearing in Orangetown Town Court. Police said the incident was also referred to Rockland County's Child Protective Services.

ZF-9602: Zend_CodeGenerator allows extending a class with an empty string
When using Zend_CodeGenerator to create a PHP class, if you set the 'extended class' property to an empty string, the code generator does not omit the 'extends' keyword in the class definition, it produces invalid code instead. For example:
$class = new Zend_CodeGenerator_Php_Class();
Produces the following code:
class MyClass extends
Note the hanging 'extends'. Zend_CodeGenerator should avoid creating invalid PHP code and instead remove the hanging 'extends' keyword.
This case arises when you do not know what (if any) class will be extended, for example, by passing the value from a form input into the setExtendedClass() method...the value could be blank. It would be much simpler for coders to be able to pass in the blank value, rather than performing a check on a variable before hand (and being forced to break out of the fluent interface).
Fix for issue.
All fixed!

I have used this recipe for several years but I do it a little differently. I mix the cherrie pie filling and crushed pineapples together then dump the dry cake mix on top and make sure it's evenly spread, but, I don't mix it with the fruit on the bottom - I just leave it on top. Then, I cut a stick-and-a-half of butter into small pats and arrange on the top of the cake and stick in the oven. This is sooo delicious - I can't stop eating it! Be sure to use butter instead of margarine, too, because it gives it a certain taste!
I first received a recipe like this for dump cake 3 years ago at my bridal shower. I was skeptical at how easy it looked and wondered how it would taste. It is absolutely unbelievable!!! By far one of my favorite desserts now. The only things I do different is use a 20 oz. can of crushed pineapple (you really need that size, a 15 oz. would not spread over the 9x13 pan), lite cherry pie filling instead of regular (cuts down on the sugar a bit, but you won't even taste the difference), omit the nuts and use 3/4 (1 1/2 sticks) cup butter, sliced over the top. Don't melt the butter in the microwave and pour over.....slice it in pats across the top of the cake mix and let the oven melt it. This allows for even browning. I took this to a Christmas party last night and people were going back for seconds and thirds, and someone requested that I email the recipe first thing in the morning. There you have it - cheap, easy, and delicious, what more do you need to try it?
Dump cake doesn't sound good, but it is! It took me like 5 minutes to put together, and it was so yummy! I let it sit for about 30 minutes before we tried it, and it was great. Reminded me of a fruit crisp. It's good cold, but I like it best warm with some vanilla ice cream.

Corned Beef & Cabbage
3 pounds corned beef brisket of beef (we use flat cut not point)
1 cup orange marmalade
4 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard
4 tablespoons brown sugar as desired -- potatoes, carrots & cabbage
1. Place corned beef in large pot & cover by 1 inch with water. Cover & bring to boil on high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently 3-4 hours or until very tender. During first 30 minutes of simmering, skim scum from water occasionally.
2. Remove beef from cooking broth. We reuse the broth to boil the potatoes, carrots & cabbage.
3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
4. In small bowl, mix marmalade, mustard & brown sugar. Drain meat & place on ovenproof serving dish. Spoon marmalade mixture over beef, coating it thoroughly.
5. Bake in preheated oven 30 minutes or until glaze is crisp & brown. Allow to rest 10 minutes before slicing. Serve hot or at room temperature.
Serves 8.
