Closing Time: Clay Buchholz doesn't skip a beat in helping Red Sox best Rays
|09.10.13 at 10:20 pm ET
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Ninety-four days evidently didn't make that much of a difference.
Other than having some limitations put on his pitch count, Clay Buchholz looked a whole lot like the pitcher that had dominated American League batters up until his last start, June 8. The Red Sox starter threw five innings (74 pitches), allowing three hits and no runs while striking out six and walking one.
The end result was a 2-0 win for the Red Sox Tuesday night at Tropicana Field, pushing John Farrell's team's lead in the American League East to 8 1/2 games.
The win pushes Buchholz' record to 10-0, with the righty's ERA dropping from 1.71 to 1.61. He continues to be the second Red Sox hurler ever to go undefeated with at least nine wins in his first 12 starts, joining Roger Clemens (11-0 through 12 starts in 1986).
After Buchholz, the bullpen came on and upheld its side of things. First was Craig Breslow, who notched two scoreless innings, leading up to Junichi Tazawa, who got two quick outs before allowing a double to Yunel Escobar. That paved the way for Koji Uehara.
The Red Sox closer got Wil Myers to pop up to first base on just three pitches to end the threat in eighth. Uehara proceeded to need just 10 pitches to manage his third four-out save of the season, while pushing his scoreless inning streak to 28 1/3. The righty also tied Daniel Bard for the team record for most consecutive scoreless outings (25).
Uehara has now retired each of his last 31 batters faced, extending his record streak for a Red Sox reliever and tying Hideo Nomo for the longest streak by any Sox hurler since Nomo retired 31 straight from May 25-31, 2001.
Making the win even more satisfactory for the Red Sox was that they beat Tampa Bay ace David Price, who held the Sox to just three hits and two runs over eight innings. The 127 pitches by Price were a career-high for the lefty, and the most thrown by a Tampa Bay pitcher since Victor Zambrano tossed 128 in '04.
It marked the ninth straight game the Sox have come out on top when facing a lefty starter, having lost eight of 10 in such situations before the streak.
The win also highlighted a dramatic turnaround for both teams since Aug. 24, when the Rays found themselves percentage points ahead of the Red Sox in the race for first-place. Since then, Tampa Bay is a major-league worst 4-12, having batted just .181 with runners in scoring position while averaging 2.7 runs per game during that span entering the series opener.
Here is what went right (and wrong) in the Red Sox' 88th win of the season:
– Chicago's Jose Quintana remained the only pitcher to hold this Red Sox team hitless through the first five innings this season, with Mike Napoli breaking up Price's no-hitter leading off the fifth.
– The Red Sox made the most of Napoli's double to deep center with Jonny Gomes following it up with a single to left, which outfielder Matt Joyce couldn't fire home fast enough to prevent the game's first run.
– Daniel Nava executed his fifth-inning sacrifice bunt perfectly, moving Gomes over to third with one out. The play eventually helped the Sox plate their second run, coming on a Jarrod Saltalamacchia sacrifice fly. It marked the 231st RBI for the Red Sox with a runner on third and less than two outs, most in the majors.
– Dustin Pedroia's first stint as a leadoff hitter since Oct. 3, 2009 initially ran into some trouble. The second baseman was punched out twice for just the 15th time this season, although he did manage a ninth-inning base-hit (and stolen base) to salvage his night.
– Stephen Drew went 0-for-3 with a pair of strikeouts against Price, making the shortstop hitless in 10 at-bats against the lefty.

My name is Bobby Miller. My wife and I both used this firm to achieve our soc sec goals. When I was in court with Mr. Greeman he was chomping at the bit to defend me. He was well prepared. What impressed me most was that he stayed quiet while the judge asked questions of the soc sec rep and the workforce rep. As we all know a good lawyer will fight for you. A great lawyer will defend you. But a professional will realize when he is winning and not say a word. That was Mr. Greeman, a true professional. As the iudge asked questions, Mr. Greeman showed his professionalism. Now about Mr. Toomey. He's the guy you want researching and preparing your case. His knowledge is 2nd to none. His work getting our cases ready was nothing short of phenomenal. Every time I spoke with him was like a teacher passing knowledge to their students. Any questions i had were addressed thoroughly with that same professionalism that Mr. Greeman showed in court. To win hire them. Signed Bobby C. Miller

Kirk is a great person to work! He was very respectful to us and helped us a long what seems to be a long process. We were denied our Social Security benefits and didn't know we could appeal. After discovering Kirk he showed us how to get what we deserved. Thanks again and thanks for making it as easy as possible!

my team is in a 10-team-league with 10-man-rosters involving the 5 main positions and 5 utility spots, so everyone plays everyday.

I am in 1st place but want to get rid of Marion. He isn't of need, I have Howard/Kaman to get me my rebounds. Who should I try trading him for?

What's your take on Zeke on NYK moving forward? He's a headcase, but he produces PTS and RB. Now with the lineup shakeup, what can be expected? I don't take his first game off the bench as a true indication although it was a pleasant surprise.

Mets will get "a large amount" of money from Angels
Ken Davidoff of Newsday has confirmed that the Mets have acquired outfielder Gary Matthews Jr. from the Angels.
No word yet on what the Angels might get -- other than sweet release -- but Davidoff does say the Mets will get "a large amount of the money" due Matthews over the next two years.
The Mets became desperate enough for outfielders to make this move when they learned that Carlos Beltran had undergone surprise knee surgery last week and will likely miss the start of the season.
The last time the Angels were able to dump a bad contract on the Mets, it worked out pretty well for them. (See Vaughn, Mo and Appier, Kevin in Dec. 2001.)
UPDATE: Jon Heyman of SI.com reports that the Mets will pay Matthews only $2 million, leaving the Angels on the hook for $21.5 million over the next two seasons.
UPDATED UPDATE: The Associated Press is reporting that the Angels will pay $21 million of Matthews' salary. I suspect there was some give-and-take on this -- the Angels might have been able to get the Mets to pay a little more of Matthews' salary if they were willing to take a lesser player than reliever Brian Stokes in the deal.

1. Field of Invention
This invention relates to using explosive forces generated inside a contained environment to subject materials to extremely high pressure. Examples include a process of breaking apart cellulose fibers and the removal of lignin in connection with the wood pulp industry and the hardening of materials, such as metals.
2. Description of Related Art
Currently the wood pulp industry uses chemical steam processing and mechanical grinding and milling to break apart cellulose fibers and remove lignin. These processes use an excess of energy, can take a long period of time, and use environmentally unfriendly chemicals.
Chemically produced pulps are processed in digesters by a sulfite or kraft process. Digesters can be designed for batch or continuous flow.
The sulfite pulping mechanism utilizes the raw materials sulfurous acid and either sodium, magnesium, or calcium bisulfate as the two main ingredients to process the lignin within the wood chips. The sulfurous acid works as a catalyst and breaks the ether linkages in the lignin molecule. Then, the sulfite ions bond to the open sites on the lignin molecules to aid in the lignin dissolution. A high temperature and long cook time are required for these reactions to have successful rates and yields Normal operating conditions for batch sulfite pulping include a digester temperature of 150� C. with a cook time of four hours.
One problem with the sulfite mechanism is that the sulfurous acid acts on the carbohydrates in the fiber. The more carbohydrates that are lost, the weaker the pulp becomes and the weaker the resulting dried paper product will be. The sulfite cook actually leaves about 4% of the original lignin in the chip to reduce the chance of losing any extra carbohydrates.
The kraft pulping method eliminates the need for sulfurous acid as a raw material. Instead, the raw materials are sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfide. Sodium sulfide can double the rate of delignification over the sulfite process; hence the kraft process is the dominant process in the industry. The mechanics of kraft reactions are similar to those of sulfite reactions. In this case, the OH— ions from the sodium hydroxide will break the lignin ether linkages. Once broken, the hydrosulfide ions (SH—) can bond with the open lignin sites to react with methyl groups and form methyl mercaptans. Methyl mercaptans contribute to the unique odor associated with kraft pulping.
The kraft pulping process leaves more lignin with the digested pulp than the sulfite process. The main reason for this is that the OH— ions can more easily penetrate the crystalline cellulose walls and break down the carbohydrates than can the sulfurous acid ions. Usually about 8% of the original lignin stays with the chips.
During the past decade, the paper industry has seen a significant increase in the percentage of secondary fibers used to make up the paper machine furnish (secondary fibers=OCC—old corrugated containers, MOW—mixed office waste, etc.). In fact, almost all newsprint and an increasing number of tissue and medium board machines are going to 100% recycled fibers for their furnish.
A problem most mills encounter when changing over to recycled fibers from a virgin chemically pulped furnish is a reduction in fiber strength and size. When a mill decides to implement a recycled fiber program, a new recycled fiber plant is usually constructed in order to repulp the recycled products and to remove undesirable contaminants that are introduced to the system from the recycled materials (i.e. latexes, coatings, inks, glues, waxes, oils, etc.). These contaminants can destroy a mills production rate if not efficiently removed in the recycling plant. Hence, a successful recycle fiber plant will take previously made papers and boxes and efficiently deliver to the paper machines the cleanest and strongest pulp possible. The characteristics of each batch of recycled pulp will have a dramatic effect on the efficiency of the paper machines.
Fibers that have already been used to make a box or piece of paper are inherently weaker than virgin fibers. These fibers have already been subjected to refining, high temperature dryer cans, press loading, etc., which take away from their size and strength. The main way to strengthen a recycled fiber is to re-swell and then mechanically refine the fiber. The swelling is done with water and pH control (wood fibers are hydrophilic and will accept water). Once the fibers are swollen they can be refined in order to fibrillate the fibers. Fibrillation is when a single fiber is subjected to mechanical forces that cause fibrils to branch off of the original fiber. This action will increase the surface area of the fiber, which will form a stronger mat on the paper machine wire. Swelling and refining also help open up the hydroxyl sites on the fiber and fibrils, which increases the chance of hydrogen bonding between the fibers. Hydrogen bonding is essential for a strong finished sheet of paper.
U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,273,766 and 5,328,403 disclose a tank for tenderizing meat in which the meat is supported along a hemispherical wall of the tank and then subjected to a shock wave produced by an explosive charge. The tank disclosed in these two patents is specifically hemispherical in shape and therefore the amount of meat processed by the tank per explosive charge is limited to the amount of meat that can be supported along the hemispherical wall of the tank. To increase the amount of meat processed per explosive charge, the radius of the hemisphere that defines the shape of the tank must be increased, greatly increasing the volume of water required to fill the tank. It is well known that for a given surface area a sphere has the greatest volume of any shape.
The invention provides an elongated tank for containing explosive forces. The elongated tank of the invention provides better results than the tank disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,273,766 and 5,328,403 due to its elongated shape. The elongated shape of the tank of the invention more efficiently subjects the material in the tank to the explosive forces than does the spherical shape of the tank in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,273,766 and 5,328,403. In addition, for a given volume of liquid/water, more material can be processed in the elongated tank of the invention because it is not spherical in shape.
An embodiment of the invention has a vessel having a vessel-top and a vessel-bottom. A liquid containing the material, for example wood chips, to be subjected to the explosive forces is held in the vessel-bottom. The vessel-top is positioned such that the explosive forces are substantially contained within the vessel-bottom and vessel-top. The material is subjected to pressure waves in the water created by the explosive forces. The explosive forces can, for example, be provided by an explosive, such as PETN, or by capacitor discharge through electrodes in the vessel-bottom.
The invention can greatly reduce the amounts of energy, chemicals, and/or time required to process certain materials.
For example, the invention can greatly reduce the amounts of energy, chemicals and time required to process and tear down the cellulose fibers and remove lignin in the wood pulp industry. By introducing a delignification vessel into the current process flow, either before or after the digesters, the process efficiency of chemical pulping can be increased. The delignification vessel of the invention subjects wood chips, for example, to explosive forces transmitted through water or other liquid. The resulting extremely high pressure causes the liquid to penetrate the wood chips to extract the undesired lignin component. The explosive forces can be generated by any means such as, for example, an explosive charge or capacitor discharge.
The vessel can be integrated into a recycled fiber plant to help soften/swell the fibers during repulping and to aid in the release/removal of the undesirable contaminants being introduced with materials such as papers and boxes. By detonating a submerged charge of explosive, a plant could very cost effectively swell the fibers with good water penetration, fibrillate the fibers with very high-pressure forces, and release inks, latex, coatings and other undesirable contaminants by subjecting them to the high pressures of the detonation wave.
Successful integration of the vessel of the invention could relate to huge savings in a mill's operating costs. Stronger pulps may result than are produced by the current refining methods (because of the reduction in cutting by the refiners) or a simple reduction in the amount of refining needed and reduced power consumption may result. Hence the mill could increase its percentage use of recycled fiber, resulting in financial and environmental benefits. Also, with better contaminant release from the fibers, the recycle plant could see much higher efficiency with its screens, centrifugal cleaners, clarifiers, etc., and hopefully reduce the amount of equipment needed. Chemical consumption for contaminant control would also be greatly reduced with more efficient removal in the plant.
Another example of an application of the invention is in the hardening of metals, such as, for example, hardening the exterior layer of metal golf club heads, axes, chisels and other tools. Such a hardening process could allow the use of cheaper metals, as compared to the currently popular titanium, while still providing a hard surface for superior performance. In this application, the metal to be hardened can be held in place within the vessel-bottom by, for example, support wires or stands, or simply laid on a bed of sand placed in the vessel-bottom. The metal is hardened by being subjected to the pressure waves created in the liquid by the explosive forces.
The invention will be described in relation to the following drawings in which like reference numerals refer to like elements, and wherein:
The invention provides a cost effective process for altering the properties of materials through subjecting the materials to extremely high pressures.
The invention increases the process efficiency of chemical pulping by introducing a vessel into the current process flow before the digesters. The invention can be applied to both batch and continuous flow digesters.
The invention will be discussed using an explosive charge, but other means of generating explosive forces within the liquid can be used.
An example of the vessel-bottom 20 is shown in more detail in
An example of the material used for the vessel-top 10 and the vessel-bottom 20 is mild steel or stainless steel 2″-4″ thick. The lower sides 28 of the vessel-bottom 20 are sloped with relation to the bottom 29 of the vessel-bottom 20. This shape has proven more effective than a hemispherical shape vessel-bottom. In addition, sloped lower sides 28 are preferred to a rectangular cross-section in order to reduce the stresses in the joints between the lower sides 28 and the bottom 29. While this shape is used as an example, the vessel-bottom could also be formed in a semi-cylindrical shape (as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14).
The sloped sides or semi-cylindrical shape reflects shock waves created by the explosive force toward the material that is being treated. The reflected shock waves can combine with other shock waves to result in additive compression waves or to create tensile stress by the sudden reduction in compression waves or by cavitation within the liquid. The succession of compressive and tensile forces works the material being treated. For example, a fibrous material can be defibrillated. In the case of a vessel having sloped sides, the optimum angle of the sloped sides can be determined for a particular application or material being treated.
In the embodiment shown in
The example of vessel-bottom 20 shown in
One example of a process of the invention is to fill vessel-bottom 20 to a desired level with a liquid, such as, for example, water, place the hanging wire 2 in place using the eyeholes 26, then submerge the wood chips into the liquid. In this example, the material (wood chips) is a material that comprises a plurality of pieces that can move independently with respect to one another and are subjected to a substantially uniform pressure on all suifaces immediately prior to being subjected to the explosive forces. Although eyeholes 26 are used in this example, it is noted that any appropriate holding device, such as, for example, hooks, can also be used. An explosive charge 1 is then run along the hanging wire 2 and is connected to an initiation device (not shown) such as, for example, a blasting cap, or capable of being detonated by non-physical contact methods such as, for example, radio or ultrasonic signals. The vessel-top 10 is then placed and secured on the foundation 44. The explosive charge is preferably below the surface of the liquid when detonated. An example of the explosive charge is 0.25-5 lbs. of PETN detonated by a blasting cap of #8 strength or higher.
Top bolts 50, each having a bolt head 52, are embedded in and held by foundation 44. The vessel-top 10 is lowered into position such that each bolt head 52 passes through a top flange hole 40 and a round portion 34 of a locking plate hole 32 in a locking plate 30. A locking plate 30 is attached to the vessel-top 10 and located above each vessel-top flange 12. Locking plate holes 32 are located in locking plates 30 and, in this example, each have a round portion 34 and a slot 36 as shown in FIG. 2. The locking plates 30 are attached to the vessel-top 10 by locking plate positioners 38. The locking plates 30 are initially positioned such that the round portions 34 of the locking plate holes 32 are lined up with the top flange holes 14. Round portion 34 of each locking plate hole 32 is large enough to allow bolt head 52 to pass therethrough. After the vessel-top 10 is lowered into position over top bolts 50 so that bolt heads 52 extend above locking plates 30 (as shown in FIG. 3), locking plates 30 are moved by locking plate positioners so that slots 36 of locking plate holes 32 are positioned around top bolts 50 and immediately below bolt heads 52. Because the bolt heads 52 are too large to pass through the slots 36, the vessel-top 10 cannot be lifted off of the top bolts 50 when the locking plates 30 are in this position.
The above-described locking mechanism is made strong enough to keep the vessel-top 10 from moving when subjected to the forces resulting from the explosive charge. This locking mechanism is one example of a structure that provides sufficient locking of the vessel-top 10 and also allows quick unlocking and removal of the vessel-top 10.
A ridge vent 70 is provided as a part of the vessel-top 10 in order to allow explosive gases to escape from the vessel 5.
Upon initiation of the explosive charge, the material, in this example, wood chips is exposed to extremely high pressures created by the designed vessel boundaries as well as the liquid. Currently, the pressures range from 5,000 psi to near 100,000 psi at the explosive interface. However, it is conceivable that higher pressures will be available with future explosives. The pressure is great enough to penetrate wood chip cell walls and extract the undesired lignin component. Also the high pressure should create some positive defibrillation results on the cellulose fibers.
By introducing the vessel 5 before or after the digester, the required amount of the products mentioned above should be greatly reduced. For instance, the amount of raw material Na2S and NaOH should be reduced for kraft pulping and the amount of sulfurous acid and bisulfate compound should be reduced for sulfite pulps. Also the amount of sulfide compound by-products should be reduced, the amount of time the digester is held at high temperatures should be reduced, the workload on the chemical recovery systems should be lessened, and the workload on the digesters themselves should be reduced.
Wood chips possess entrained air, which retards the removal of lignin in the cooking process. Pulping mills presteam the chips before they are introduced to the digester to remove the undesired air. The vessel 5 can reduce or eliminate steam usage by exposing the chips to extremely high pressures to force out entrained air.
Defibrillating the cellulose fibers will be beneficial. The high pressures create some positive defibrillation on the cellulose fibers. Therefore, the mill can experience reductions in time and money associated with the beaters and refiners, as well.
There are variables used to define the desired size of charge to achieve optimal lignin removal and cellulose defibrillation. The liquid temperature in the vessel is limited only by its boiling point. When water is used as the liquid, the liquid temperature range is preferably between 32� F. and 212� F., and more preferably between 70� F. and 190� F. In addition, the distance between the explosive charge and the wood chips can be varied to achieve anywhere from 5,000 psi to near 100,000 psi at the explosive interface, preferably between 5,000 psi and 50,000 psi. If the explosive charge is detonated above the surface of the liquid, the pressures can be reduced by increasing the distance above the surface of the liquid at which the explosive charge is detonated. If the explosive charge is detonated below the surface of the liquid, or if capacitor discharge is used, the material, for example wood chips, can be separated and held away from the explosive interface by a mesh or other retaining structure. An example of the retaining structure is retaining mesh 130 shown in FIG. 6. In this example, retaining mesh 130 is held in place by retaining mesh restraints 132. By using a retaining structure to control the distance between the explosive charge and the material, the pressure to which the material is subjected can be controlled. When water is used as the liquid, the addition of small quantities of Na2S, for example a sufficient quantity to produce 0-25% sulfidity, to the water can prove very beneficial to the lignin removal.
If the vessel is used to process the material after the material exits the digester, chemicals present in the material can be used advantageously when the material is subjected to the high pressures in the vessel. Similarly, the material can be subjected to the high pressures in the vessel at any stage of processing. Due to the existence of particular chemicals in the material at certain stages of processing, it may be determined that subjecting the material to the high pressures in the vessel at a particular stage is advantageous. For example, it may be advantageous to subject the material to the high pressures in the vessel before the brown stock washers.
The length of the vessel may be varied to achieve maximum wood chip poundage per explosive discharge, hence governing the hourly output.
An example of using capacitor discharge as the source of the explosive forces is shown in
A particularly useful application using capacitor discharge is the purification of water. The explosive forces, for example through the compression waves, can kill bacteria and other harmful impurities in the water or other liquid.
The example shown in
The continuous treatment of material described above can also be achieved by placing capacitor discharge electrodes at various positions within the wall of a pipe (instead of the vessel described above) and passing the material laden liquid through the pipe and past the electrodes. The capacitor electrode size, shape, and placement and the pipe size can he changed to accommodate many different strengths of explosions in the vessel. For example, the use of toroidal capacitor electrodes may be beneficial. The capacitor electrodes and their associated capacitor discharge machines can be different sizes and set up at different locations along a continuous feed of pipe to allow for more and varied treatments.
In the case of the vessel being a pipe, the pressure inside the pipe immediately before the introduction of the explosive forces may be greater than, equal to, or less than the pressure outside the pipe.
While the example of the vessel-bottom 20 shown in
In the previous examples, the material within the vessel-bottom 20 after detonation can be removed by, for example, either scooping or pumping.
The invention should greatly reduce the time, energy, raw chemical usage and emissions presently required and produced by the wood pulp processing industry.
Another application of the invention involves the hardening of metals for use in, for example, golf club heads. The process is preferably performed before the club head is attached to the hozzle and shaft. The club head is placed into the vessel and, through explosives or a process such as capacitor-discharge, is subjected to great pressure. The pressure greatly hardens only the outer layer of the club head due to the reflective pressure wave bouncing off of it. The increased hardness can increase the distance that a golf ball travels when hit by the club. The process can be done for numerous club heads at one time to reduce the unit cost of the process.
The hardening process can also be applied to other metal objects in which hardness is a desired characteristic. Such other objects may include, for example, cutting tools such as drill bits and saw blades and weapon components such as gun barrels, firing pins, trigger components and mounting bases.
Other processes can be achieved by the invention such as adding flame retardant materials to wood, other pressure treatments of wood, or other processes in which one material (usually a fluid or suspended in a fluid) is forced into or through another material (usually a solid). For example, fabric or clothing can be softened or dye or other chemicals can be forced into fabric by the process. In these processes, the explosive charge is used as the source of pressure to force the one material into or through the other material. Other examples of the many possible uses of the invention include explosive art work, adding imprints to steel, killing microbes, pathogens and bacteria, and breaking down waste materials quickly for, for example, recycling. In these examples, the material is subjected to the explosive forces (either in liquid or in a gas, such as, for example, air) inside the vessel.
While the invention has been described in conjunction with the specific embodiments described above, it is evident that many alternatives, modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, the embodiments of the invention as set forth above are intended to be illustrative and not limiting. Various changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined herein. For example, other materials, such as food, leather, denim jeans and other fibers, can be subjected to the explosive forces in the vessel to cause softening of the materials.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt Won't Return to 'G.I. Joe 2'
There won't be Joseph Gordon-Levitt in "G.I. Joe 2". When asked by Collider whether he will reprise his role as Rex Lewis in "G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra" sequel, the actor simply said, "No," yet did not give further details on the reason.
On the same occasion, Gordon-Levitt also talked about his involvement in upcoming "The Dark Knight Rises" where he lands role as John Blake. Expressing his excitement to work with Christopher Nolan who has directed him in "Inception", he said, "I'm incredibly excited to work with Chris again."
"And it is funny that we're talking about him here at a 'Hesher' junket," he continued. "Because that is what I love so much about working with Chris and what I love so much about his movies and what I think everyone loves about his movies."
Meanwhile, a new clip from "Hesher" has been unveiled. The video, which received an R rating, sees Gordon-Levitt pushing Natalie Portman and Devin Brochu into the pool after they come to Gordon-Levitt's house. The film will have a limited release across the nation starting May 13.
"G.I. Joe 2" is an action film directed by Jon Chu. Produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura, it has Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick pen the script. The forthcoming movie will make its way out on August 10, 2012.

Note that you will see a number of warnings like this:
Those warnings are QTBUG-28521, which has been fixed in Qt 5.0.2 (which at the time of this writing has not yet been released). Fortunately, there's no actual problem, aside from the annoying console output.

OGDEN — College basketball fans will have a chance to see the nation's leading scorer take the floor Saturday night at the Dee Events Center.
And, even better, he plays for Weber State.
Sure, the 2011-12 collegiate basketball campaign is awfully young, but WSU junior point guard Damian Lillard currently leads the land in scoring with an average of 25.6 points per game.
Lillard took over the NCAA lead earlier this week with his 36-point performance in the championship game of the St. Mary's Shamrock Office Solutions Classic on Monday night at Moraga, Calf. The Wildcats lost that game, 87-70, for their first setback of the season, but Lillard did his best to keep the 'Cats on top, scoring 26 second-half points, including a 10-minute stretch when he scored 21 in a row for Weber State.
Saturday night's game against San Jose State, which tips off at 7:30 p.m. to accommodate a doubleheader with the WSU women's basketball team, which also hosts SJSU at 5 p.m., begins a schedule-friendly stretch in which the Wildcat men's team will play six of its next eight games at home.
San Jose State, like Weber State, has a victory over UC-Irvine thus far this season. The Spartans' other wins came against Texas-San Antonio and Holy Names, while their losses were to Montana State, Cal Poly, San Francisco and Santa Clara.
Junior guard James Kinney leads the Spartans in scoring with 16.7 points per game, including a career-best 30 points in Wednesday's win over UTSA. Sophomore Keith Shamburger adds 14.4 ppg, and he scored 21 points in San Jose State's 62-46 victory over Weber State in an ESPNU Bracketbuster game last February.
Wil Carter contributes 9.7 ppg and a team-leading 8.6 rebounds per game for San Jose State, a Western Athletic Conference team that was eliminated by Utah State in last year's WAC tournament semifinals and wound up 17-16 overall last season for its first winning record in 17 years.
Lillard moved into Weber State's top 10 in career scoring with his performance at the St. Mary's Tournament. He now has 1,280 points in 78 career games at WSU.
Senior forward Kyle Bullinger, the Big Sky's leading rebounder with 9.6 per game, will play in his 100th career game for the Wildcats Saturday night, and head coach Randy Rahe will be seeking his 100th career victory. Rahe is 99-62 in five-plus seasons at the WSU helm.

5 Tips to save income tax on your salary
Be Paid What You're Really Worth
I asked more than 150 high-earning women, "Are you doing this for the money?" The overwhelming response was a definite no. What drove them were passion, recognition, challenge and independence. At the same time, they wanted to be well-compensated, because they felt they were worth it.
But that's not the case with most of us. We instinctively devalue ourselves. Those little voices in our heads insist: "Who do you think you are? No one's going to pay you that much." And I'm convinced self-depreciation goes right to the heart of our financial ruts.
You can easily learn negotiation techniques and assertiveness skills by taking courses or reading books. But the truth is this: If you're going to command more money, you have to truly believe you're worth it. Without that conviction, we lack the confidence to take a strong stand and the certitude to convince others. People always respond to our vibes far more than our words.
Many six-figure women admitted questioning their own value. Yet they didn't let that stop them. These women built their confidence like weightlifters build muscles -- by continually pushing themselves to take a stand, ask for more, demand what they're worth and say no when appropriate despite their trepidation.
Confidence-Building Tips
This advice directly from these women will help you pump up your self-worth along with your net worth:
* Think Big, Then Think Even Bigger: Most of us, especially women, unwittingly limit our earnings by lowering our expectations. Even in studies where women are trained in negotiation strategies, they set their sights lower and end up with less money than men. The idea is to value yourself fairly compared to others in your field or at your level.
* Do Your Research: One of the worst negotiating mistakes people make is picking a random number and then discovering it was way too low. The smarter ones avoid that pitfall by doing their homework. They discover their market value by researching going rates, then asking for more than what's offered to give themselves wiggle room.
* Quantify Your Value: You can counter the tendency to downplay yourself by presenting tangible evidence of what you bring to the table. Maybe you saved your company $X or had an idea that generated so many sales. Keep a file of everything you've done. Don't wait for your review. Go in and ask for work, ask for responsibility, ask for challenge. Let your supervisor know exactly where your sights are set. Taking initiative is an effective means of demonstrating your value and intentions to an organization.
* Practice Daily Affirmations: These positive statements are expressed as if they've already happened. Two examples: "I have the confidence to ask for what I want." "I welcome more money in my life." Write your affirmations down. Post them where you can see them easily. Say them out loud, as often as possible. As one affirmation enthusiast told me, "The more often I hear the words coming out my mouth, the more I internalize it, and the more my psyche knows it's going to happen."
* Challenge Yourself in Areas Outside Your Job: Stretching yourself in any area of life has a ripple effect. If you can't quite get yourself to ask for a raise, try signing up for an art class or running a marathon. Anything that puts you out of your comfort zone builds confidence and self-worth.
* Fake Confidence If Necessary: Asking for top dollar takes a lot of nerve, which most of us won't feel at the time. But that doesn't mean you can't fake it. Even six-figure women have doubted their worth, but they appear undaunted. Acting as if you're confident is a surefire antidote for weak knees, a pounding heart or a deflated ego. Besides, when you act as if you're worth a lot, you'll eventually convince yourself as well as others.
By practicing these tips, you'll begin to notice a shift in how you feel about yourself. Making more money becomes not something you should do, but something you have to do -- because you know in your heart you're worth it.

Found this company on the internet offering a very competitive deal. From my first contact with the company through the whole process to delivery the service was excellent. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a good price backed by excellent service.

Hi Rachel,
Everything went very well on Friday and I am absolutely over the moon with the car.
In terms of feedback, the service from Fleetprices has been fantastic throughout – a very personal and friendly service, the process was very straight forward and I was kept informed of the progress throughout.
In terms of Volkswagen at Cheltenham they were great – they made me and my wife very welcome, Steve was very helpful showing me around the car and even went to the trouble of fitting some mats in the car.
With the problems I had with the personalised registration I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and everyone else concerned for the help and support with this matter, it was a trying time for me and I am sure this was very frustrating at your end. I recognise that you and the team at Volkswagen went over and above to resolve this problem for me.
Overall I cannot fault Fleetprices and Volkswagen and would certainly recommend to colleagues, family and friends.
Thanks again for everything.
Best Regards
Darren Rhodes

I have been very happy with the quick seamless transition of leasing. Had no problems at all and all the staff have been very helpful with any queries I have had.

The car is great and I am very pleased.
The service from you guys was great, you kept me updated along the way, I never felt like I needed to chase you up on anything.
The guy that delivered the car was really pleasant and Caffryns should be delighted with him. He arrived in Manchester just after 7am, all the way from Brighton and he was more than happy to show me around the car and show me the controls etc.
In conclusion, all great. Thanks. John
