"Live! with Kelly and Michael": Question: How great was it to see Kristin Chenoweth back up and on her feet, and back to her old chatterbox-y self on "Live!" today, just a few months after her scary accident on the set of "The Good Wife"? Answer: It was just as great as seeing Ryan Lochte lose to Michael Strahan at Strip Trivia, and have to take it all the way down to his Speedo. That was abs-olutely great TV.
"Access Hollywood Live": So, I kinda think Billy Ray Cyrus should just stick to talking about his achy breaky heart and other country music related issues, because he doesn't seem to ever say the right things about his daughter Miley. Don't get me wrong, it's mostly her fault for always wearing clothes are too revealing and shaving part of her hair off, but asking for his thoughts just ends up being uncomfortable for everyone involved! And that's something I just DO think he'll understand!
"GMA": Uhhh…"GMA" just made my G-M-DAY. Ice Cream Nachos made of soft serve vanilla ice cream, topped with chocolate syrup, M&M's, Snickers pieces... and "six hand cut waffle and brownie chips, for dipping…"? Wow. TANGO FRIO y MUOY BIEN. I'll have mine with extra hot fudge sauce-a. And there's free refills, right?

Pleasing as Gary Kamiya's review of Scott Smith's The Ruins is—since, unlike Michiko Kakutani, Kamiya knows better than to reveal key plot secrets in a review—it raises an interesting question. "The Ruins is superior horror literature, but it does not entirely overcome the pile-driving limitations of the genre," Kamiya writes. "But its relentless bleakness—it is almost clinically bloody—played out at novel length is also what sets it apart from other books of this kind."
Well, wait a minute: Didn't the Review just appoint Terrence Rafferty the horror fiction columnist? So why isn't he covering The Ruins? Then again, maybe the novel's such perfect evidence of the literary merit of genre fiction—on the principle that Knopf, like God, doesn't make no junk—that it renders genre-based criticism superfluous. Heck, that might explain why Nick Sagan's Everfree is discussed in a collection of short fiction reviews rather than being delegated to the paper's usual science fiction reviewer. If so, it's a welcome trend—maybe they'll embrace high fantasy in time to review the next George R.R. Martin novel!
Speaking of timeliness, though, we rib the NYTBR a lot for lagging behind the rest of the culture, so it's nice to be able to commend Rachel Donadio's essay on The Long Tail, which calls upon a few publishing executives to explain why backlists matter and why the "long tail" isn't necessarily the publishing industry's best friend. Question: Does this mean the Review won't be reviewing the book? Not that it matters much. I just checked Google, and the Times has already used the phrase "long tail" roughly 500 times, and only a handful of them about cats. You might say the concept has reached its tipping point.

Did you know slavery is a huge problem globally? Did you know the movie Lincoln is up for an Oscar? Did you know Lincoln is to advertising what Women Laughing Alone While Eating Salad is to stock photography?
I dunno, man. On paper, I'm with Lincoln is a nice start. In practice it's another piece of slacktivism.
Here's what I mean:
Let's make a hashtag for awareness. It costs us nothing. And the kids will feel good about retweeting even though they've done nothing to actually help. (Sorry, creating awareness isn't helping in this case.) Also, turning #Imwithlincoln into some rallying cry is kind of like turning #imagainstcolds into a rallying cry. It's not that controversial of a stance.
Besides, hashtags are already flawed in that they can be easily hijacked. (Side note to brands: stop believing in the almighty hashtag.)
Letters to congress
Does sending a letter to congress--a generic form letter-- actually do anything? Especially when embedded in such letter are a few statistics with no sources or references stated anywhere?
Lack of balls
The biggest issue with this campaign is that it isn't hard hitting enough. My guess is because rather than alienate potential donors by calling them out, it's easier to blame every last person in the free world for slavery. I can sort of kind of understand that. But it's also why this feels so castrated.
On the I'm with Lincoln website, I see no brand names explicitly called out as using slaves or slave labor. None. Only categories. You're asking us to write our specific senators to deal with the problem, albeit in some vague way. Why not ask us to boycott the biggest offending companies by name?
It's not like they are hard to find. I think every last person in the free world is aware of Foxconn.
Obligatory app
Which brings me to the Slaveryfootprint.org survey, as part of this campaign. Again it's very vague. You list everything in my closet as being potentially made by slaves, but what if I only buy American Apparel or any of the other 98 brands on this list?
Vague call to action
Even the plea for businesses on the site doesn't make sense. Take for instance this quote form the "for businesses" section.
We believe that through the simple act of engaging with us on this issue your enterprise is demonstrating considerable worldwide leadership for this cause. We believe that commitment to meeting the expectations of the global business community should be applauded and rewarded.
So wait. If i'm a company that owns a factory in India where seven year olds are used to make my clothes, the simple act of talking to you is contributing to the cause? For real?
Again: Lincoln had bigger balls than this.
Stage Two?
I am greatly anticipating (with only a hint of skepticism) the projects page in which Made In A Free World plans to "address slavery where it's more prevalent," whatever that means. And how "In the coming months, you will have the opportunity to participate in funding the rescue, rehabilitation and education of victims around the world," however that will happen.
And I truly hope it does. Because right now there's a neat video, a little bit of potential, and a whole lot of talk with no action. And if those campaigns were really effective, we would still be talking about KONY 2012.
By the way, you did know they made a follow up video to Kony 2012? Didn't you?
Yeah, I didn't think so.

PRZOOM - /newswire/ -
Tucson, AZ, United States, 2011/11/01 - Nadcap recognizes Horst Engineering de Mexico's Guaymas, Sonora facility for the superior quality of its service offerings - OffshoreGroup.com.
Nadcap (National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program) has recently conferred accreditation in the area of Chemical Processing on Horst Engineerings Guaymas, Sonora, Mexico manufacturing facility. The company has recently added a Surface Treatment/Passivation process to its repertoire of services in order to meet the growing needs of its expanding aerospace manufacturing in Mexico client base.
In response to the companys achievement, Scott Livingston, President and CEO of Horst Engineering, stated that Nadcap accreditation is a tribute to the hard work and commitment to quality and customer service of our Guaymas, Sonora team.
He also went on to note that Operating a manufacturing facility in Mexico under the auspices of The Offshore Groups Mexico Shelter Plan facilitated our pursuit of this accreditation by freeing us from concerns related to non-core functions, and enabling us to focus on our manufacturing processes and their quality, as well as on the expansion and refinement of the services that we deliver to companies in Mexicos growing aerospace industry.
Joseph Pinto, Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at the Performance Review Institute, the not-for-profit organization that administers the Nadcap, observed that Achieving Nadcap accreditation is no small feat. Having this recognition enables companies in the aerospace supply chain to readily identify manufacturers capable of delivering superior special processes. Horst Engineering de México is now firmly ensconced in the ranks of the companies that deserve and enjoy this significant recognition.
About Horst Engineering
Horst Engineering de México is a manufacturer of high precision machined parts and assemblies for aerospace, medical and other high technology industries. The company has an ISO9001:2008/AS9100 registered quality management systems. The company is based in East Hartford, Connecticut.

Vangtel offers Mexico shelter services to companies that occupy the call center, IT development and BPO markets, while the International Logistic Solutions Company (ILS) is a leading provider of supply chain services. The Offshore Group has recently initiated operations in Mexico's second largest city, Guadalajara.

Helping Netflix Members Get More from Their Mobile Data Plans
As consumers increasingly watch video over mobile networks, Netflix is constantly exploring ways to give members more control over their Netflix experience. That's why we will soon introduce a data saver feature designed for mobile apps.
The data saver feature will provide members with more control over their data usage when streaming on mobile networks, allowing them to either stream more video under a smaller data plan, or increase their video quality if they have a higher data plan. We're on track to make it available to members sometime in May.
We believe restrictive data caps are bad for consumers and the Internet in general, creating a dilemma for those who increasingly rely on their mobile devices for entertainment, work and more. So in an effort to protect our members from overage charges when they exceed mobile data caps, our default bitrate for viewing over mobile networks has been capped globally at 600 kilobits per second. It's about striking a balance that ensures a good streaming experience while avoiding unplanned fines from mobile providers.
This hasn't been an issue for our members. Our research and testing indicates that many members worry about exceeding their mobile data cap, and don't need the same resolution on their mobile phone as on a large screen TV to enjoy shows and movies. However, we recognize some members may be less sensitive to data caps or subscribe to mobile data plans from carriers that don't levy penalties for exceeding caps. As we develop new technologies, we want to give all our members the choice to adjust their data consumption settings based on their video preferences and sensitivity to their ISPs data overage charges. We'll provide more details as we get closer to launch.

To meet a requirement in the 2011 loser-pays law, the Texas Supreme Court must now review two sets of rules for expedited trials. The high court's task force couldn't agree on whether expedited trials for low-dollar cases should be mandatory or voluntary.
The Supreme Court Advisory Committee considered the question on Jan. 27, deciding 26-18 that expedited trials should be voluntary. That vote is not binding on the high court.
House Bill 274, the loser-pays law, says the rules for expedited trials are for cases with total damages not exceeding $100,000. The rules are supposed to lower discovery costs and ensure cases are expedited through the courts. The court created the Task Force for Rules in Expedited Civil Actions to draft the new rules. The task force issued its final report Jan. 25 and presented the rules to the SCAC on Jan. 27.
The Jan. 25 report says the task force agreed on many ways to expedite cases: limiting pretrial discovery, requiring parties to disclose documents that support their claims or defenses, setting time limits on oral depositions, requiring courts to follow a mandatory time frame to set cases for trial and prohibiting judges from ordering expedited cases into mandatory alternative dispute resolution. The task force also agreed the $100,000 cap must include damages, as well as costs and attorney's fees.
But the task force couldn't agree on the mandatory vs. voluntary question, so it created two sets of rules, one for each scenario.
At the SCAC meeting, task force members Alan Waldrop and David Chamberlain explained the viewpoints of each camp.
"Some aspect is going to have to be mandatory, or it just isn't going to be effective," said Waldrop, a partner in Locke Lord in Austin, who generally represents defendants and also serves as outside counsel for Texans for Lawsuit Reform. He says a plaintiff would only face an expedited trial if his pleading claimed damages of $100,000 or less — to avoid it, a plaintiff could claim more.
After an initial pleading triggered an expedited trial, Waldrop explained there would be two "escape hatches" for either a plaintiff or defendant to avoid an expedited trial: filing and winning a motion for good cause, or filing an amended pleading or a counterclaim seeking damages of more than $100,000.
But if a court denied either party's "escape," the defendant would get "stuck" with an expedited trial, and the plaintiff would have to accept a "trade-off," Waldrop said.
"The plaintiff cannot recover a judgment for more than $100,000, period," he said.
Chamberlain, a senior partner in Chamberlain McHaney in Austin who represents defendants, told the advisory committee he thinks a mandatory rule would be "fundamentally unfair" for defendants, because a plaintiff's pleading would choose the expedited trial, but "[t]he defendant doesn't have that option."
He said a voluntary rule would get better results and "it's just a matter of educating the bench and the bar about its benefits."
Chamberlain said, "You can do a lot more with a voluntary rule" — for example, limiting the jury to six people, limiting the length of the trial to two days and limiting the types of appellate challenges. The Constitution and other statutes would prevent those restrictions under a mandatory rule, but the limits would be permissible if both parties voluntarily agreed to them.
"This is designed to be a procedure to be available to the parties that just want a quick answer. They want a 'yes' or a 'no,' and they want it in two days. Once they get their answer, they're going to live with it," Chamberlain said.
Justice Nathan Hecht, the Supreme Court's liaison to the advisory committee, says the court will consider all the advisory committee's comments about the task force's draft mandatory and voluntary rules. The court hopes to seek public comment on the rules this summer, leaving plenty of time to get feedback and make revisions before the 2013 Legislative session.

Using constants provides for tab-completion and associated help text. The help text can be particularly useful if the choice of constant affects which extra keyword arguments can be specified. And on a minor note, and far more subjectively (time for another bike-shedding reference!), there's the "cleanliness" of API. (e.g. Strings don't "feel" a good match. There are an infinite number of strings, but only a small number are valid. There's nothing machine-readable you can interrogate to find valid values.) Under the hood you'll have to use the string to do a lookup, but the constant can *be* the result of the lookup.

My mistake - I misinterpreted the API earlier, so we're talking at cross-purposes. My comment/question isn't really about pad & mode, but about numpy more generally. But it still stands - albeit somewhat hypothetically, since it's hard to imagine such a change taking place. Richard

The lightweight exercise ball provides heavy support for your resistance-training workouts. Replace a weight bench with a stability ball as your base during strength training to also improve your core strength, balance and coordination. Plus, the ball costs less than a weight bench, for an affordable at-home exercise option. With proper use, the ball is a safe training option to add variety to your routine.
Ball Selection
A proper-sized exercise ball reduces injuries. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines and select the ball size based on your height. When the guidelines are not available, select the ball size based on proper fit. To do this, sit on top of the ball with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. If the angles of your knees and hips are both at 90 degrees, you have the right sized ball. The ball is too small if your knees and hips bend beyond a 90-degree angle. The ball is too large if your knees and hips barely have an angle to them.
When you replace your weight bench with an exercise ball, you increase the challenge of your workout. The unstable surface of the ball encourages your core to contract to keep you upright and from falling off the ball. Use proper posture to aid in your stabilization. Tighten your abdominals by pulling your navel toward your spine. Keep your back straight and sit tall.
The exercise ball easily takes the place of a weight bench for dumbbell exercises such as chest presses, shoulder presses and overhead triceps extensions. You can also perform medicine ball exercises such as torso rotations and overhead presses from atop your stability ball. Or, instead of sitting on a weight bench for resistance-band exercises such as leg extensions, sit on the ball for the additional balance challenge.
Each exercise ball manufacturer has a different maximum weight limit for the fitness tool. Remember to add together your body weight, plus the weight you lift to determine if you fall within the maximum weight amounts. Use a lighter resistance amount and higher repetitions during your training to avoid any equipment malfunction from too much weight on the ball.

A dr said "-lower eyelid, The skin there is usually pretty thin, and resorption of the fat is common. Although you might see a good result initially, uneven withering of the fat can lead to an unfavorable appearance and areas of firmness later - even months and years later. These changes can be especially noticeable as your weight fluctuates." does this mean after fat grafting on upper eyelid, i shouldn't be surprise if i get lumps after years? means i should avoid fat grafting? is it true?
Lumps After Fat Grafting?
Doctor Answers 4
Eyelid fat injection
No where on the face is technique more important than around the eyes. As mentioned by others, the skin is quite thin and unforgiving of contour irregularity. The fat needs to be injected quite deep and no higher than the level of the orbital rim.
It is a great technique when done properly and not in excess. So experience is quite important. Multiple sessions may be needed, as it is always better to undercorrect, than to overcorrect, as it is much easier to add more fat, than to try to remove fat from the face.

Fat Grafting around Eyes
With a fat transfer like any other injection there will be swelling and a feeling of uneven texture. There could be irritation at injection sites causing temporary bumps. These things should resolve over time. Sometimes multiple procedures are needed to achieve the result you are looking for. The skin is thin and sensitive in these areas so these things are possible. With any surgical procedure you should wait 6 months to a year for final results and follow up with your doctor is very important.
Lumps after Eyelid Fat Grafting
Not all fat grafting is the same. The volume of fat needed and the location of the recipient site are the two biggest considerations. In other words, you cant play the same music with a bass, cello and a violin. And the instruments we use in fat grafting and the surgoical strategies we use are very different when we fat graft the eyelids, versus the breast, for example. People get into trouble with the lower eyelid sometimes when the instruments used to both harvest the fat and inject the fat are too large. When this happens, larger lobules of fat are injected. This is probably the biggest cause of lumps in the lower eyelid. I have attached a reference for you.
Hope this helps-

Fat grafting for the lower eyelids
When performed correctly, fat grafting is an excellent option for under-eye hollowing or tear troughs. It produces stable results and soft contours when micro-fat injections are performed with a very fine cannula. It would be extremely rare to see lumps or fluctuation if the procedure was performed by an experienced surgeon.

100% of central Sydney's power, heating and cooling requirements could be supplied by renewable sources according to a draft master plan prepared by the City of Sydney.
The blueprint details how the city's energy needs could be met by 30% renewable electricity sources and the remainder from gases derived from waste.
"This plan provides an invaluable road map detailing where all the renewable resources exist, how much it costs to harness them and how we can use them to help deliver a 100 per cent clean renewable energy system for Sydney," said Lord Mayor Clover Moore.
The City's research identified ample waste resources within a 250 km radius of Sydney CBD to produce enough gas to meet the targets set out in the Master Plan.
Clean Energy Council Chief Executive David Green applauded the City's initiative and progress to date.
"The City of Sydney has been a pioneer in championing the increased use of cleaner forms of energy such as solar, wind, bioenergy and trigeneration – a very efficient technology that produces power, heating and cooling from the one power source."
"Local councils are the best equipped of all levels of government to deliver services that directly reflect the wants and needs of the population. Councils such as the City of Sydney are helping harness the enthusiasm of their residents to do things differently," he said.
Also announced yesterday was an update of an energy efficiency drive by the City of Sydney; which has seen savings of as much as 50 per cent from power and water efficiency retrofits in City buildings.
"These figures show what a major difference can be made by retrofitting buildings. As cities are the greatest emitters of greenhouse gas, we need to make our buildings more energy efficient," the Lord Mayor said.
The City has set a target to reduce its own energy and water consumption overall by 20 per cent compared to 2006 levels.
A Renewables Powered Sydney Achievable

Numbers Don't Lie, Network Reality Television Is FINALLY Dying
I know the numbers have declined further in the past few months. I heard something about it on the news yesterday. Burn baby burn! It should have never went on this long. Shows like this are a phase, not a constant. Just like the days of 100,000 game shows and Circus of the Stars, etc...

It was one episode a year from the late 70's to early 90's. That way they had real time to rehearse (because these people were actually busy). I think I stopped watching in the late 80's, but I vividly remember Wonder Woman (Linda Carter) on and elephant and The Wheel of Death. Brooke Shields walking on broken glass, and the sister from Different Strokes (Dana Plato) doing the tight rope and trapeze. Oh, and Bo Duke riding his motorcycle through a wall of fire. Haha

Lawmakers Sign Off on Payroll Deal
ABC Digital
Political News
Updated at
(WASHINGTON) — Negotiators signed off on the bipartisan payroll tax deal Thursday afternoon, paving the way for Congress to approve an extension of the tax credit, plus unemployment insurance and the extension of the so-called "doc fix" for physicians treating Medicare patients.
After coming to terms in the midnight hour early Thursday morning, members of the conference committee gathered in the Capitol with Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich., and Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., the top two leaders on the panel, to sign the conference report Thursday afternoon.
"We have a majority, a majority of the members. It's a done deal. It's done," Baucus, D-Mont., proclaimed as he flashed two thumbs up to video cameras gathered to capture the moment. "For America! It's teamwork."
But so far, no Senate Republicans have signed off on the agreement, objecting because they believe they were shut out of the final negotiations. For some conferees, it was a surprise that no Republican senators had signed off on the deal so far.
"Aren't they going to sign it?" Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., asked Baucus as they walked out of the conference room after signing the report.
"I don't think so," Baucus whispered. "Jon [Kyl] told me he's not going to do it."
Camp, the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, deflected questions about Senate Republicans resisting the bipartisan compromise, calling the breakthrough a "positive moment" and declining to comment directly about the Senate GOP's concerns.
"The majority of the House has signed the conference report, so I'll continue to work with the Senate to see where we are at the end of the day, but I'm glad at least on the House side we have a majority," Camp said. "The conference report is done and I'm confident that we'll get the signatures we need to move this to the floor."
The deal prevents a two-percent tax increase on middle-class families. Over the course of the year, an individual earning $50,000 would enjoy a pay increase by $1,000 as a result of the extension. This aspect of the deal was not offset with spending reductions, adding about $100 billion to the deficit.
Aides close to the negotiations said the deal would also extend the "doc fix" through the end of the year, averting a 27.4-percent cut to physician payment rates and ensuring seniors and the disabled have continued access to the physicians serving our Medicare beneficiaries.
Furthermore, the agreement reforms unemployment insurance depending on the unemployment rate. Most states will receive a maximum of 63 weeks of benefits, compared to 46 states currently receiving 93 weeks of benefits now. But for states with higher unemployment rates, compensation is slowly reduced periodically over the next year, from 99 weeks through May, and up to 73 weeks of relief through December.
The deal also enables states to drug screen and test anyone who lost their job because they failed or refused an employer drug test, or who is seeking a job that generally requires a drug test. To help offset the extension of unemployment insurance, the agreement also requires new civilian federal employees and members of Congress to contribute more towards their defined benefit pension programs.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, was also surprised to learn that Senate Republicans felt shut out of the negotiations.
"Everything that I've seen they've been [as] involved in the process as anybody else," Boehner said. "There was an awful lot of conversation going on. As a matter of fact, if I recall correctly, there were two or three public meetings where they were all present, so for someone to say they weren't involved really would surprise me."
The speaker said that he is working with members on both sides of the aisle to determine how quickly the House could vote to pass the deal. The Senate is expected to vote Friday.
Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., urged the speaker to bring the bill to the House floor for a vote Friday before Congress skips town for a week-long President's Day recess.
"It would be important to bring it up tomorrow because I don't think the American people can wait another day." Pelosi said. "We should bring it up as soon as possible so all doubt is removed that we will have a tax cut for 160 million Americans, that unemployment insurance will continue for our workers who have lost their jobs through no fault of their own and that seniors can see their doctors under Medicare."
After battling Democrats for months over the particulars of how to offset the costs of the extensions, Boehner blamed President Obama for failing to repair the economy and leading Congress into a corner where lawmakers had little choice but to pass an economic relief package.
"Let's be honest. This is an economic relief package, not a bill that's going to grow the economy and create jobs," Boehner said. "Last fall, I said that the only reason we're even talking about a payroll tax break or an extension of unemployment benefits is because the president's economic policies have failed. I still believe that to be the case today."
Boehner signaled that he intends to support the agreement, but said the deal would have been unnecessary had the president followed through on his promises to improve the economy.
The speaker criticized the White House for calling the payroll tax credit extension its last must-do item on the president's agenda before next fall's election, and he urged President Obama and Senate Democrats to consider more of the GOP's House-passed legislation that they believe would spur job creation.
"For those of you who haven't noticed, the president checked out last Labor Day and has been unengaged in leading our country ever since. It's been one non-stop campaign trip after another," Boehner said. "He can campaign all he wants, but the Republicans are going to stay focused on jobs and the types of pro-growth policies that will help small businesses grow and put Americans back to work."

Pump House Ministries was the victim of another fire just after midnight Sunday.
The Ashland Fire Department was dispatched to the Revivals 2 Thrift Store at 12:24 a.m. Monday for a fire in the rear of the building. The blaze was contained minutes within firefighters' arrival.
According to the fire report completed after the incident, the fire appeared to originate from a couch left outside the thrift store. The fire from the couch then trickled up the building's outer wall and nibbled at the roof before it was extinguished.
The report estimated approximately $5,000 worth of building property damage and $5,000 worth of damage to contents. Moderate levels of smoke were present throughout the thrift store's inside, and a portion of the ceiling needed to be removed.

Ramona High School's boys volleyball team opened its season March 7 with a 25-18, 25-21, 25-16 road victory against Scripps Ranch.
"We played very well the whole way through," said Coach Jeff Klauda. "It was a real good effort, especially for the first time out, so that was exciting to see."
Ramona's statistics included a total of two serving errors for the entire match.
"We put a lot of pressure on them," Klauda said. "We made it hard for them and they got frustrated."
Ramona's starting lineup, including libero Cody Kealy, consisted of four seniors, one junior, and two sophomores. Kealy is the only one of those seven who did not play on Ramona's varsity last year.
Scripps Ranch lacks such experience.
"They're very young, but they're very athletic," Klauda said. "I'm glad we caught them early (in the season), because I think they're going to be really good by the end of the year."
Outside hitters Josh Spieker and Caleb Nelson were Ramona's primary serve-receive players with Kealy joining them when the Falcons had a server with a reputation for jump serves. The Bulldogs only allowed one serving ace.
"The serve-receive was just outstanding," Klauda said.
Middle blocker Matt Lawler, a sophomore who spent some time on the 2011 varsity, made his first varsity start. Lawler had six kills in nine swing attempts and made no hitting errors. Lawler also had two blocks.
Opposite hitter Travis May, who took 19 swings, also had six kills without a hitting error.
Nelson, who spent 2011 as Ramona's libero, had seven kills from his 16 swings while making two hitting errors. He also had nine digs, and he had two serving aces while accounting for 12 points overall during his serves.
"Caleb played amazing," said Klauda.
Spieker also had nine digs, and Kealy contributed five digs. Setter Garrett Adelman had 28 assists, four kills, and two blocks. Middle blocker Kenny Lawler had four kills and two blocks.

Each year residents in Houston County receive an equalization notice at the beginning of April informing them of the value set on their property. If a property owner believes the Equalized Market Value set on their property has been miscalculated they can attend an open book meeting at their city or township. If that fails to satisfy the situation the resident can attend the County Board of Appeals Equalization (CBAE) meeting.
The Houston County Board set its CBAE for Tuesday, June 18 in accordance with state law. The meeting will include evening hours to accommodate a variety of work schedules.
County Assessor Tom Dybing, in a follow-up interview, warned that changes in agriculture land prices will be most evident.
"This year the ag community is going to see a substantial increase in the value of ag land. They will pay a bigger piece of tax pie than they were before," Dybing said attributing the change to good yields and good prices.
Those who feel they have evidence against their assessment should first talk to the assessors office where information is readily available that sometimes explains changes.
Of course the option to then visit their local open book and then the county meeting exists.
"As far as the value, if a person is not happy with the local board of appeals, they can then go to the county board of appeal. But, the only way they can do this is if they've gone first to local board of appeal," Dybing said.
"There's all kinds of things that can change – legislative changes, value changes and budget changes – that affect your property," Dybing said, adding that in a national survey Minnesota ranks number one in terms of how complicated the property tax code is.
Airport mowing
Commissioner Steve Schuldt told the county board at its March 5 meting that he's been working to address airport concerns cooperatively with a friends of the airport group.
He said, "What I've been trying to do is get a volunteer group together for something called 'adopt an airport.'"
Schuldt explained that the friends of the airport agreed to mow the facility for free if the equipment could be stored on premise.
There's currently a hangar out there for sale for $4,000 that would more than adequately house the machine. Schuldt brought the item to the board's attention for consideration.
"It's spending money that's not on the budget. But with budget concerns, I don't know if we should make a decision on it," Schuldt said.
"The question is how bad do we need it and can you get it cheaper," Commissioner Justin Zmyewski said, adding, "We have to consider it wasn't budgeted."
In total, there is more than a mile of mowing at the airport and the cost to take of it from June 2011 through July 2012 was about $7,374.
No action was taken on the item.
Plan commission change
Due to a number of scheduling conflicts, the Houston County Board agreed to replace Commissioner Zmyewski with Commissioner Dana Kjome on the plan commission.

Parasites Take the Biological Spotlight
By NATALIE ANGIER
Published: July 17, 1990
TO the ancient Greeks, the word ''parasite'' meant one who eats at the table of another. But far from having the decency to sit down for dinner, most parasites in nature suck the blood, sip at the gastric juices of the intestines, pierce into the nourishing warmth of muscle tissue and otherwise leech rudely off the fluids and labors of their unwilling hosts.
Yet for all their repulsive traits, worms, mites, fungi, viruses and a rogues' gallery of other parasitic organisms that derive their nutrients from a larger species hold an increasing fascination for evolutionary biologists. After long dismissing the freeloaders as bit players in the grand theater of evolution, scientists now propose that parasites may explain many of the outstanding features seen in a broad spectrum of animals and plants.
They say that the relentless pressure of a diverse battery of parasitic species ready to colonize and exploit every square millimeter of larger creatures has helped shape many of the traits of the beleaguered hosts. And because parasites breed so quickly and so prolifically, scientists say, their effects on their hosts is particularly powerful.
At a meeting of evolutionary biologists last month in College Park, Md., researchers presented a wealth of new data suggesting that parasitism is what gave birth to sex. They proposed that animals and plants mix their genes together sexually, rather than simply generating clones of themselves, to create diverse offspring as a way of assuring some resistance to parasites. An article on the subject by one of the foremost theoreticians of evolutionary biology, Dr. William D. Hamilton of Oxford University appeared in the May issue of The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Other biologists have gathered compelling evidence that the need to dodge parasites may have been the force prodding some species to become migratory or to spend part of every year in isolation from their potentially pest-ridden fellows.
''Historically, the study of parasites has been utterly, completely and egregiously neglected,'' said Dr. Douglas E. Gill, a parasite expert at the University of Maryland in College Park. ''Now that's all changing. There's a great deal of interest at the medical, molecular and ecological level of what parasites are doing out there. It's a new frontier.'' Some researchers are considering the story from the parasite's perspective. They are trying to understand why many species of parasites go through multi-stage life cycles, passing from one host to another. In probing the parasitic reproductive cycle, researchers have unearthed examples of host-parasite relationships that border on the macabre.
Dr. Manfred E. Rau, a parasitologist at McGill University in Montreal, recently found that two types of closely related parasitic worms can dramatically influence the behavior of mice to suit their own needs. One worm will prompt the mouse to become hyperactive, scampering through fields so frenetically that it attracts the attention of a predatory bird that will eat the mouse and the worm with it. When the bird eats the mouse, it provides the necessary next home for the parasitic larvae.
By contrast, the related worm species will cause a mouse to become sluggish, heightening the chance it will be easily stalked down by the carnivorous mammals this worm prefers for its second shelter.
Other parasitic larvae have been found to drive host snails mad, forcing the creatures to make a suicidal ascent to the top of a blade of grass, rather than hiding underneath the foliage. At the same time, a few of the invading larvae migrate to the snail's antennae, turn bright colors and pulsate, transforming the hapless gastropod's feelers into a reasonable facsimile of a caterpillar. That resemblance catches the attention of birds, which then consume the infested snails. Once in the guts of the birds, the larval worms can mature and reproduce.
''There are fantastically interesting questions to be answered,'' said Dr. Gerhard A. Schad, professor of parasitology at the University of Pennsylvania and the president of the American Society of Parasitology. ''How do these hosts and parasites come to live together? Who's ahead at any given moment in the evolutionary game plan?''
Offshoot of Immune System Studies
Some researchers say the new interest in parasites stems partly from the extraordinary advances in the study of the human immune system. As investigators have deciphered its staggering complexity, they have come to consider the varied spectrum of parasites and pathogens that the immune system evolved to attack.
''Parasites have had a tremendous impact on human evolution, which we're only now beginning to appreciate,'' said Dr. Dickson D. Despommier, a professor of public health and microbiology at Columbia University. ''About half of all people who have ever lived on earth have died from malaria or malaria-related problems, and malaria is caused by the Plasmodium parasite. That's an astonishing notion. The early American colony of Jamestown had to be re-established three times because of malaria.''

As you may recall, not long ago Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows director David Yates was considering an adaption of Stephen King's The Stand as a multi-film project. Well, good news folks: it's just about official. David Yates and Warner Bros. are finalizing an agreement right now, according to an exclusive at Hitfix.
It's nice being proven right, but you know what's nicer? Steve Kloves has signed on to adapt the apocalyptic novel for Yates, reuniting the team immediately following their collaboration on the Harry Potter franchise. Kloves has proven himself beyond children's book adapations, of course: he also wrote the Oscar-nominated screenplay for Wonder Boys, and wrote and directed both The Fabulous Baker Boys and Flesh and Bone. Talented guy, that Steve. He should call me.
What strikes us as interesting about this development is that the Harry Potter books and movies really grew with their fan base. Many of the original fans of the franchise are young adults by now – like, actually young adults, not just kids who shop in the "Young Adult" section of their local bookstore – making them the perfect demographic to pick up The Stand. If Warner Bros. plays its cards correctly ("From the Makers of Harry Potter," for example) there could be a significant cross-over audience.
CRAVE Online will be back with more The Stand news if we ever shake these spooky nightmares…

Joyful cheers and wild applause are not just for Hollywood stars at the Oscars.
Such praise also was had inside a rockin' gymnasium Monday, March 4 at Jacobson Elementary in Rush City where students assembled for an Oscar-style celebration to conclude "I Love to Read" month.
For the month of February, noted principal Melody Tenhoff, students in kindergarten through sixth grade read 139,703 minutes, collectively, which annihilated their goal of 125,000 minutes. Teachers and staff were challenged, too, as their target was 45,000 minutes. Sure enough, the adults beat their goal with 58,052 minutes of reading time as a group.
Technology integrationist Mary Kurvers was honored for reading the most among the faculty. She totaled 3,495 minutes, alone.
Yet it was the students, of various grades, who received the biggest reception — complete with red carpet runway, little "Oscar" trophies and flowers for the girls and boutonnieres for the boys — for being the top readers from their reading classes. Helping out at the assembly were teachers and staff members Ashley Lakeberg, Gara Goldenstein, Jill Erickson and Maureen Guentzel.
All the students cheered for those involved in the Pen Pals program, as well, and they were even rewarded with a showing of "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" at the end.
In addition, the children shouted in approval of the winning books of the Student Choice Awards, as presented by reading interventionist Kristine Peterson. The winning books included:
• K-grade 1: "Too Many Toys," fiction; "I Spy," with "What Do You Do With a Tail Like This?" as runner-up, nonfiction; "A Bad Case of Stripes," followed by "Diary of a Worm," science fiction/fantasy; and a tie between "The Stranger" and "Goodnight, Goon," mystery/ghost story.
• Grades 2-3: "Stink and the Incredible, Super-Galactic Jawbreaker," fiction; "Predator Showdown," followed by "The Man Who Walked Between the Towers," nonfiction; "Magic Tree House: Stage Fright on a Summer Night," science fiction/fantasy; and "Goosebumps: The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb," mystery/ghost story.
• Grades 4-6: "Everything on a Waffle," followed by "Out of My Mind," fiction; "Animals Up Close," nonfiction; "The Hobbit," science fiction/fantasy; and "Stolen Children," followed by "The Dollhouse Murders," mystery/ghost story.
The students (listed with their teachers) who were honored as top readers include Molly Avina (Mrs. Gunderson, a.m.), Austin Christian (Mrs. Gunderson, p.m.), Will Volk (Mrs. Sybrant, a.m.), Ruth Widenstrom (Mrs. Sybrant, p.m.), Lily McCargar (Mrs. Guse), Michael Nellis (Mrs. Halbert), Parker Pillar (Mrs. Lofgren), Sophie Hackel (Mrs. Nelson), Levi Armstrong (Mrs. Lundeen), Kaden Gorman (Mrs. VandeKamp), Brayden Blatz (Mrs. Waters), Hailey Volk (Mrs. Goldenstein), Ben Hanson (Mr. Rood), Ella Wood (Mr. Wendorf), Natalie Dziuban (Mrs. Zeltinger), Alex Chacon (Mr. Albright), Garrett Bengtson (Mrs. Lakeberg), Aaliyah Banks (Ms. Larsen, 4th/5th), Hailey Besta (Mr. Mettling), Abi Novick (Mr. Erdman), Brandon Cardinal (Ms. Nelson), Lauren Steltz (Mrs. Williams), Nathan Ramberg (Mr. Kirby) and Elena Herberg (Mr. Lattimore).

Johannesburg – The unbeaten South African men's hockey team face two hurdles this weekend as the World League Round 2 tournament goes into its third and fourth rounds.
The 9-0 win over Brazil and 6-1 victory over the United States made for a good start to the round-robin event, in which the top two teams qualify for the World League semi-finals in June.
"There are no second chances in this tournament format, so we need to take care of business every time we go out there and I am proud of the way the lads have gone about it," captain Rhett Halkett said.
South Africa tackle Trinidad & Tobago on Saturday before taking on favourites Argentina on Sunday.
The Islanders gave South Africa a real workout at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, before the men in Green and Gold prevailed.
"It was a very close affair and that's what is wonderful about international hockey. The rankings go out the window and anything can happen in those 70 minutes.
"We have got to make sure we are as prepared as possible."
The South Africans would face a tough battle against Argentina, who won their previous encounter at the 2012 London Olympic Games.
"We beat Argentina for the bronze medal at the 2011 Champions Challenge in Randburg, while they beat us at London 2012. So the matches have always been thrilling encounters and the lads are very excited about taking them on again.
"But we are not getting ahead of ourselves, our motto is one game at a time, so T&T are next in line and that is where our focus is right now."
Saturday will be an extra-special occasion for South African striker Lloyd Norris-Jones, playing in his 100th Test match.
The scorer of four goals in two games (the same as midfielder Clint Panther) notched his 50th goal for his country against the US on Thursday. – Sapa

Durban - Unpolluted air, tranquillity and silence, emerald green pastures so lush they sparkle in the sunshine, rolling hills, pathways leading to the pleasure palaces of nature... what a recipe for relaxation.
The entrance to Clambridge Cottages, near Michaelhouse school along the R103 in the KZN Midlands, had no difficulty in selling itself to me.
The trees lining the road meet overhead, allowing sunlight to dapple the ground beneath.
That two friendly dogs raced out to greet me made the welcome even warmer.
The name Clambridge is interestingly different – a combination of Claire, Amy, Bridget, the three daughters of a previous owner.
The self-catering cottages, main house and granny flat are all located in a magnificent garden of tall, old trees. These in turn are ringed by an outer barrier of pine trees – almost like a laager encircling everything. An opening allows a clear view across the Balgowan valley far below.
A rubber crocodile head drifts around in the large swimming pool. Clearly someone in the family has a fun a sense of humour.
At night all one hears is the wind whispering in the trees, and perhaps the screech of a bird.
This is certainly walking terrain. Some of the paths cross paddocks and pastures, or meander over rolling hills.
One farm road leads to an African homestead tucked away behind trees. Walk further, and there is a view of the distant foothills of the Drakensberg.
The friendly Labrador and a German shepherd bounded ahead as I crossed the veld. Earlier the Labrador had brought me an offering of an autumn-tinged leaf, dropping it just where I was swimming in the pool. Now, after immersing itself in a pool beneath a weir, it was keen to cuddle up, and had to be firmly discouraged.
Every so often both dogs broke away to bark frantically at monkeys, chittering and teasing them from the pine trees.
The main house may be rented by a large group. The Granny Flat is more compact, while my favourite was Green Cottage, perched on the lip of the hill. It has a deck offering great views over the valley. It is also possible to lie in bed and indolently survey the scene.
Owners Kevin and Debbie Gray bought Clambridge in 2006 when they moved to KZN, because their four children were then to attend Clifton Prep in Nottingham Road. The family have moved to Cape Town, but would-be visitors may make reservations through Debbie or Where2Stay.
At sunset bats swooped. The colour slowly leached out of the landscape as night claimed the Balgowan Valley, and a feel-good peace settled over everything. - Sunday Tribune

There's pizza from the Windy City, bagels from New York and now tacos from California.
Charles Morrell, who owns California Tacos, has a lengthy culinary background, having spent 14 years traveling internationally with Disney on Ice in the concessions department and more than a decade opening gourmet sandwich and taco shops in California, Colorado and Mexico.
When he came to Florida seven years ago, Morrell said he tried to satisfy his "addiction" to steak burritos.
"I paid up to $14 for a good burrito and could not find a good fix," said Morrell, 51, a Brooklyn native.
Perceiving a wide-open market for fresh west-coast style Mexican fast food, Morrell opened California Taco in early March. He said business has been great.
While he wouldn't share all of his trade secrets, Morrell said California Taco has no steam table, and all the food is made to order. He also uses a small amount of cabbage for freshness and crunch, a tempura batter for the fish tacos and "special" sauce.
In addition to chili rellenos and ceviches, the store's most popular menu items are its tacos, which sell for $2.49 each. Guacamole, cheese and sour cream cost 50 cents more.
"We want everyone to taste the full flavor of our fully dressed tacos," he said.
Morrell said he was quick to choose the famous apex at Bearss Avenue and Skipper Road to house the new fast-food restaurant. The standalone building is visible, and close to the University of South Florida and area hospitals.
Located at 1450 Skipper Road, California Tacos is open 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays. Morrell plans to expand operating hours to include Sundays and Mondays soon. For more information, call (813)971-8226.
Furniture store offers Amish craftsmanship
It's like stepping into the most diverse forest imaginable.
In each corner sits another prime example of the finest wood — ash, oak, maple, cherry, pine and more.
Royal Furniture recently opened in the Village Square East strip mall in Carrollwood with offerings including: entertainment centers ($775), dinning room tables ($699) and curio cabinets ($665). Vendors range from Amish Mills to Forest Designs.
"What makes us special is that all our furniture is real wood, made in the USA, no imports from China, no press board or medium density fiberboard," said Samir Pekusic, the store's general manager. "Our furniture is mainly handmade by Amish. If a customer cannot find a standard piece to fit their needs, we will custom build."
Royal Furniture is at 11743 N Dale Mabry Highway. Hours are 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays. For more information, call (813) 908-7777.
Statue store relocates to N Dale Mabry
For those traveling along Gunn Highway, visions of Neptune, David and the Virgin Mary suddenly disappeared a short time ago.
After more than 12 years in the same location, owners of Stoneman's Statueland, a retailer of decorative concrete products, were evicted. Although the store owners said the rent at their business at 4103 Gunn Highway had always been paid on time, the lease was month to month. The building's owners were not required to provide a reason for eviction.
Store owners Stuart Pliskow, 49, and Fred Zichlin, 45, said they were shocked and devastated when they learned of the eviction.
"We thought if we'd have to move locations, with the current U.S.-economic situation, our longtime customers would assume we went out of business," Pliskow said.
The pair quickly went into action and secured a new location at 5626 N Dale Mabry Highway. Today, the likes of Ondine, cherub fountains and dove birdbaths sit alongside the highway.
Stoneman's inventory represents more than 30 manufacturers. Hours of operation are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sundays.
For more information, contact the store at (813) 884-1912 or visit www.stonemansstatueland.com.

Built Ford Smart
Certainly, pickup trucks must be strong, durable, capable, and all other related adjectives.
Gary S. Vasilash
Editor-in-Chief, Gardner Business Media, Inc.
Editor-in-Chief, Gardner Business Media, Inc.
Certainly, pickup trucks must be strong, durable, capable, and all other related adjectives.
But what's interesting to note is that in the development of the 2015 Ford F-150, the people working on the truck had to be really smart.
That is, according to Alana Strager, Ford program analyst, "Ford engineers filed more than 100 new patents for technologies on this truck as they have worked to redefine the light-duty pickup for the next generation."
This number of patents (and those pending) is the greatest number ever in the development of a Ford truck.
The 2015 F-150 has the controversial (especially if you're in the steel industry) aluminum body and box. Among the patents filed by Ford engineers are those for spot welding methods, adhesives, and hydroforming.
They're using, incidentally, a proprietary heat-treating method that Ford engineers developed for the nonferrous material. It is said to "nearly double" the strength of the aluminum.
Other developments include LED spotlights on the side mirrors and a remote tailgate release.
While customers may find those things to be of the greatest interest, industry observers—including Ford competitors—are undoubtedly most keenly interested in that aluminum.
