Scorching radiation and fast winds (streams of charged particles) from hot newborn stars in the nebula are shaping and compressing the pillar, causing new stars to form within it. Streamers of hot ionized gas can be seen flowing off the ridges of the structure, and wispy veils of dust, illuminated by starlight, float around its peaks. Nestled inside this dense mountain are fledgling stars. Long streamers of gas can be seen shooting in opposite directions off the pedestal at the top of the image. Another pair of jets is visible at another peak near the center of the image. These jets are the signpost for new star birth. The jets are launched by swirling disks around the stars, as these disks allow material to slowly accrete onto the stars' surfaces.

New Spec Ops game coming from 2K?
A new 2K Games shooter is set to be unveiled at the Video Game Awards stateside on the 12th of December, when Halo: Reach will also get a public airing for the first time.
The new shooter is billed as a special ops-style game, and a teaser video is also available online now.
Details remain scant, although the title is thought to at least in part be set in the middle-east if early CGI footage is indicative.
2K owners Take-Two were once responsible for publishing the Spec Ops series of shooter games, the last iteration of which was released for the PlayStation back in 2001. Could this rumoured title be a revival of this age-old IP, started by Zombie on the PC back in 1998?
More news on this as we get it.

Folks, I haven't tried this particular recipe, but repeatedly see that people have trouble with the breading falling off. I did too until I read that your heat is too high. You need to cook it lower and slower!
I made a composite of this recipe. Instead of putting the majority of the seasonings in the gravy, I put them all in the flour mix. Doing that and following the steps of dredging in flour, egg, then flour again, this made the most fantastic chicken fried steak I have ever had! My fiance loved this, as well, claiming it was also the best he'd ever had. It was definitely awesome!
As several other reviewers have suggested, seriously consider reducing the chili powder by at least half. The chili powder overwhelms the gravy taste. I had to add more milk to reduce the intensity of the chili powder, though once tempered, the flavor of the gravy rocks. I had to add several eggs to the egg mixture. There wasn't enough egg batter for the meat. Too, consider leaving the flour out of the egg. Yes, it might make the coating thicker, but it is VERY hard to work with and doesn't stick easily to the meat. My mother always dipped the meat in egg alone and I think that works best. I bought tenderized round steak on sale, which also is what mom used. All in all--an excellent recipe, with with the modifications just mentioned.

Legislature and government
Icelandic government 2013 - 2017
The Progressive Party and the Independence Party form the coalition government in Iceland, with 19 members of parliament each. The total number of MP's is 63. The prime minister of Iceland is Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson for the Progressive Party. He is born in 1975, making him the youngest prime minister in Iceland since the 1930's. Bjarni Benediktsson is the minister of finance and economic affairs, he is the chairman of the Independence party. Bjarni Benediktsson is born in 1970.
There are a total of 9 ministers, which is an increase by one minister since the term before. The Independence Party has 5 ministers but the Progressive Party has 4 ministers. The ministry of the environment was merged into the ministry of agriculture and fisheries. Two ministers are at the ministry of welfare, which has not been done before. One ministry was added since the term before, that was the ministry of social affairs, but since the ministry of agriculture was abolished the total number of ministries stays the same.
The ministers in Iceland:
Prime Minister - Mr. Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson - Progressive Party
Minister of foreign affairs - Mr. Gunnar Bragi Sveinsson - Progressive Party
Minister of agriculture, fisheries and the environment - Mr. Sigurdur Ingi Johannsson - Progressive Party
Minister of social affairs - Ms. Eyglo Hardardottir - Progressive Party
Minister of finance and economic affairs - Mr. Bjarni Benediktsson - Independence Party
Minister of the interior - Ms. Hanna Birna Kristjansdottir - Independence Party
Minister of education and culture - Mr. Illugi Gunnarsson - Independence Party
Minister of industries - Ms. Ragnheidur Elin Arnadottir - Independence Party
Minister of health - Mr. Kristjan Thor Juliusson - Independence Party
International Framework
In July 2009, Iceland submitted a formal application for accession to the European Union after Parliament voted in favour of applying for membership. A year later, in July 2010, Iceland's accession negotiations with the European Union were formally opened. Iceland is a founding member of the European Economic Area (EEA)1. This free-trade zone allows the tariff-free movement of goods, services, capital and labour. Companies domiciled in any of the other 30 member countries of the EEA, and in fact in any of the OECD countries, have the same rights to operate in Iceland as companies domicile in Iceland. They only need to apply for the same permits and registration as companies domiciled in Iceland. Companies registered in Iceland are permitted to operate in all the countries of the EEA without any special permits or legislation. The same rules apply to movements of labour. A foreign national who intends to stay in Iceland for a period exceeding three months mus have a residence permit. However, a national of an EEA member country in search of a job may stay in Iceland for six months without a residence permit. A standard tax credit can be obtained within the tax authorities. Iceland is actively involved in the work of major international organizations. It is a member of the United Nations, Council of Europe, NATO, EFTA, OECD, GATT, GATS and WTO, and cooperates particularly closely in cultural and social fields with Scandinavian countries through the Nordic Council. For further information see www.utl.is
Government and Political System
The Icelandic government in 2010. Source: http://www.stjr.is/
National Government
Iceland is a parliamentary democratic republic. The head of state is the President, elected for a term of four years at a time, whose duties lie outside day-to-day party politics. The government is led by the Prime Minister. Parliamentary elections are held at intervals of no more than four years. There are 63 members of parliament, elected by proportional representation. Since no party has secured a parliamentary majority since the establishment of the Republic in 1944, Iceland has always been ruled by coalition governments. A new administration was formed after the 2009 parliamentary elections, consisting of the collaboration of the Social Alliance (SA) and the Left Green Party with Ms. Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir, leader of the SA, as Prime Minister, and Mr. Steingrímur J. Sigfússon, leader of the Left Green Party, as Minister of Finance. Parliamentary seats were won in the April 2009 elections by the Social Alliance (20), the Independence Party (centre-right) (16), the Left Green Party (14), the Progressive Party (centre) (9), and the Movement Party (4). The next parliamentary elections are expected to be held in May 2013. For further information and updates see www.government.is.
Local Government
Local elections are held every four years. Municipalities are responsible for specific services including basic health care and compulsory education, and are allocated part of income tax revenues to fund their operations, along with property taxes and other smaller levies.
Legal Environment
Legislative Process
Parliament consists of a single chamber of 63 members and a simple majority is required for ordinary bills to be passed into law, while constitutional amendments require a two-thirds majority and take effect if they are then approved by the parliament, which convenes after the following general election. Approved bills are ratified by the President, who has the formal power of vetoing a bill and referring it to a national referendum, although this has only twice been resorted to in the history of the Republic. Bills may be introduced either by the government or ministers responsible for the issues in question, or by private members, including the opposition. After their introduction in parliament, bills are given at least three readings before being voted on, and are usually referred to parliamentary committees in between.
Under the Constitution, sentences may be passed by the courts only. The courts are divided into two levels: the district courts, where most cases are heard, and the Supreme Court, which hears appeals from the district courts. There are eight district courts and one Supreme Court, all hearing private and public cases. A special court called the Labour Court is concerned with labour disputes.
Relationship of Government and Business
Access to official bodies and agencies is easy in Iceland's small society, with a minimum of red tape. Government policy aims to provide a fair, efficient and competition-driven operating environment for companies within a market economy, and to encourage foreign investment, especially in areas that diversify the economy. Iceland's corporate income tax of 20% is one of the lowest in Europe and among the OECD member countries. For more than a decade, the government has tailored packages of measures to fit wage contracts negotiated in collective bargaining between employers and unions.
Privatization and Economic Restructuring
It is the stated policy of Iceland's government to scale down public sector activities in those areas which could be handled by private operators without raising social costs. To an increasing extent, public supplies and services are being contracted out. Tenders are mandatory for all procurement of supplies exceeding ISK 13,422 ,320 (USD 116,940) and procurement of services and works exceeding ISK 17,430,000 (USD 151,856) throughout the EEA/EU countries. Privatization began in the late 1980s and some state-owned enterprises have already been sold, while others have been converted to corporations and the plan is to privatize them in part or whole. Among the incorporated state-owned enterprises are power companies and a post company. Shares in industrial ventures, in which the state participated as a founder, have also been announced for sale.
Regulatory Environment
Operating licenses are required for businesses in certain sectors, for example manufacturing industries, and are granted on fulfilment of clearly defined rules. Details of regulations, monitoring and inspection agencies, etc., vary from one sector to the next, and Invest in Iceland will assist in establishing contacts and offer guidance. Broadly speaking, as a member of the European Economic Area, Iceland operates its regulatory environment on the same principles as the European Union

Maryland Insurance Administration
The Maryland Insurance Administration is responsible for regulating all types of insurance sold in the state of Maryland - including health insurance policies.
If you are looking for health insurance coverage, the Insurance Administration can help you find an insurance agent or insurance company that is licensed to do business in Maryland. You can contact them at the phone number listed below, or conduct your own search online.
If you are having trouble resolving a claims dispute with your insurer, you can file a complaint with the Insurance Administration. Contact the Insurance Administration at the phone number listed below, or file a complaint online.

U.S. Department of Labor
If you get your insurance through your job, your plan is also regulated by the U.S. Department of Labor's Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA). They make and enforce the rules that your employer must follow when offering health insurance coverage to employees - for example, your employer cannot single out an individual employee to exclude her from the plan because she (or one of her dependents) has a costly illness. Also, if there are 20 or more employees at your job, you should be offered COBRA continuation coverage when you leave your job. The EBSA works to make sure that all of this happens and your rights are protected.
If you have concerns about your employer's practices in administering your job-based health coverage - for example, if you think you should have been offered COBRA continuation coverage, but were not, or if you feel that you were wrongly terminated from your health plan - contact your regional EBSA office.

Buying Individual Policies in Maryland
As a general rule, insurers in Maryland are allowed to reject your application for coverage based on your health status. However, you may qualify for coverage as a "HIPAA-eligible" individual if you:
- had at least 18 months of continuous creditable coverage, the last day of which was under a group plan AND
- you have exhausted all COBRA continuation coverage which was available to you.
People who are HIPAA-eligible are guaranteed the right to buy insurance through the Maryland Health Insurance Plan (described below). If you are not sure whether you are a HIPAA-eligible individual, your insurance agent or the Insurance Administration can help you find out.
Maryland Health Insurance Plan (MHIP)
MHIP offers coverage to individuals who are unable to purchase an individual health insurance policy because they have pre-existing health conditions. It also covers "HIPAA-eligible" individuals as described above. The MHIP website has information on their eligibility requirements, current premium rates, and benefits available under their program.

Macedonian (македонски јазик, makedonski jazik, pronounced [maˈkɛdɔnski ˈjazik] is a South Slavic language spoken as a first language by approximately 2–3 million people principally in the region of Macedonia but also in the Macedonian diaspora. It is the official language of the Republic of Macedonia and holds the status of official minority language in parts of Albania, Romania and Serbia.
Standard Macedonian was implemented as the official language of the Socialist Republic of Macedonia in 1945 and has since developed a thriving literary tradition. Most of the codification was formalized during the same period. The name of the Macedonian language is a matter of political controversy in Greece as is its distinctiveness in Bulgaria.

Fixing Philly
Welcome to the website of the When We Fix It Coalition.
It has been eight years since ten non-profit groups endorsed a Building Industry Association of Philadelphia report titled, If We Fix It, They Will Come. The report identified ten key challenges to developing real estate in Philadelphia and articulated a detailed action plan to eliminate these obstacles. The coalition reformed the city's development review process over seven years and two mayors. FixitPhilly: A Coalition Case Study explores what this coalition has achieved to date and what made the collaboration both innovative and effective.

Safari Books Online is a digital library providing on-demand subscription access to thousands of learning resources.
Sick of creating web sites that reload every time a user moves the mouse? Tired of servers that wait around to respond to users' requests for movie tickets? It sounds like you need a little (or maybe a lot of) Ajax in your life. Asynchronous programming lets you turn your own web sites into smooth, slick, responsive applications that make your users feel like they're back on the information superhighway, not stuck on a dial-up backroad.
But who wants to take on next-generation web programming with the last generation's instruction book? You need a learning experience that's as compelling and cutting-edge as the sites you want to design. That's where we come in. With Head Rush Ajax, in no time you'll be writing JavaScript code that fires off asynchronous requests to web servers...and having fun doing it. By the time you've taken your dynamic HTML, XML, JSON, and DOM skills up a few notches, you'll have solved tons of puzzles, figured out how well snowboards sell in Vail, and even watched a boxing match. Sound interesting? Then what are you waiting for? Pick up Head Rush Ajax and learn Ajax and asynchronous programming the right way--the way that sticks.
If you've ever read a Head First book, you know what to expect: a visually rich format designed for the way your brain works. Head Rush ramps up the intensity with an even faster look and feel. Have your first working app before you finish Chapter 1, meet up with the nefarious PROJECT: CHAOS stealth team, and even settle the question of the Top 5 Blues CDs of all time. Leave boring, clunky web sites behind with 8-tracks and hot pants--and get going with next-generation web programming.
"If you thought Ajax was rocket science, this book is for you. Head Rush Ajax puts dynamic, compelling experiences within reach for every web developer." -- Jesse James Garrett, Adaptive Path
"A 'technology-meets-reality' book for web pioneers on the cutting edge." -- Valentin Crettaz, CTO, Condris Technologies

Looks like you've been reading a very outdated/inaccurate "XFS guide" on the web... What kernel version? This can make a significant difference in XFS metadata performance. You should use 2.6.39+ if possible. What xfsprogs version? > mkfs -t xfs -l lazy-count=1,size=128m -f /dev/md0 lazy-count=1 is currently the default with recent xfsprogs so no need to specify it. Why are you manually specifying the size of the internal journal log file? This is unnecessary. In fact, unless you have profiled your workload and testing shows that alternate XFS settings perform better, it is always best to stick with the defaults. They exist for a reason, and are well considered. > mount -t xfs -o barrier=1,logbsize=256k,logbufs=8,noatime /dev/md0 > /mnt/raid10xfs Barrier has no value, it's either on or off. XFS mounts with barriers enabled by default so remove 'barrier=1'. You do not have a RAID card with persistent write cache (BBWC), so you should leave barriers enabled. Barriers mitigate journal log corruption due to power failure and crashes, which seem seem to be of concern to you. logbsize=256k and logbufs=8 are the defaults in recent kernels so no need to specify them. Your NFS/Samba workload on 3 slow disks isn't sufficient to need that much in memory journal buffer space anyway. XFS uses relatime which is equivalent to noatime WRT IO reduction performance, so don't specify 'noatime'. In fact, it appears you don't need to specify anything in mkfs.xfs or fstab, but just use the defaults. Fancy that. And the one thing that might actually increase your performance a little bit you didn't specify--sunit/swidth. However, since you're using mdraid, mkfs.xfs will calculate these for you (which is nice as mdraid10 with odd disk count can be a tricky calculation). Again, defaults work for a reason. > Will my files be safe even on sudden power loss? Are you unwilling to purchase a UPS and implement shutdown scripts? If so you have no business running a server, frankly. Any system will lose data due to power loss, it's just a matter of how much based on the quantity of inflight writes at the time the juice dies. This problem is mostly filesytem independent. Application write behavior does play a role. UPS with shutdown scripts, and persistent write cache prevent this problem. A cheap UPS suitable for this purpose is less money than a 1TB 7.2k drive, currently. You say this is an NFS/Samba server. That would imply that multiple people or other systems directly rely on it. Implement a good UPS solution and eliminate this potential problem. > Is barrier=1 enough? > Do i need to disable the write cache? > with: hdparm -W0 /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd Disabling drive write caches does decrease the likelihood of data loss. > I tried it but performance is horrendous. And this is why you should leave them enabled and use barriers. Better yet, use a RAID card with BBWC and disable the drive caches. > Am I better of with ext4? Data safety/integrity is the priority and > optimization affecting it is not acceptable. You're better off using a UPS. Filesystem makes little difference WRT data safety/integrity. All will suffer some damage if you throw a grenade at them. So don't throw grenades.

We're big fans of Ballast Point here at Food and Drink Digital, so we're always on the lookout for new and exciting offerings from the brewery. When we talked to brewmaster Yuseff Cherney for our September issue, he hinted at the upcoming wide release of a curry-touched stout first previewed at the National Homebrewer's Conference Pro Night back in June. That release is finally here: this week Ballast Point released its Indra Kunindra India-Style Export Stout in 22oz bottles.
"After nearly a year of wrangling with the ABC and TTB and other sanctioning bodies (who didn't quite know what to think of a beer made with such unique ingredients), we are legal and have beer in bottles," read a press release from Ballast Point issued on Wednesday. "This beer will be available at both of our brewery locations beginning tomorrow."
What are those unique ingredients that the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control and the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau didn't know how to handle? Some interesting flavors, that's for sure. The creation of San Diego-based homebrewer Alex Tweet, Indra Kunindra's hops are enhanced by five ingredients one doesn't often find in beer: Madras curry, cumin, cayenne pepper, toasted coconut, and Kaffir lime leaf.
We haven't had a chance to get our hands on the new beer yet, but that's something we're aiming to rectify before supplies run out. "There are no promises that we will ever make this beer again so be sure and grab this one of a kind offering while you have the opportunity," reads the press release. So if you're interested in a unique brew, you'll want to head to Escondido's Holiday Wine Cellar or Ballast Point Brewing in Scripps Ranch while you still have the chance.

I fell in love at first when I saw this set. It is so beautiful, fine and elegant that I had to order it. Even more, the price was really affordable, even low for such great quality. I placed my new dining set into the smaller dining area where now I can sit and enjoy a coffee or tea with my friends in the most relaxing way possible. Functionality and beauty combined. Thank you so much.
I was looking for a round kitchen set that was unique, so I began to search online and came across this kitchen set. At first I wasn't sure if I wanted to make the purchase because I have never bought furniture online without me actually first seeing it in display. However, I took the risk, read the reviews and saw that the feedback was positive. So I decided to make the purchase. I put the kitchen table and chairs myself, easy to do. I can honestly say that I love my kitchen set, and everyone that has come to my place has also commented on how beautiful it is. It definitely brings a whole new light to my kitchen. Since I bought this set, I am changing everything around to give it that Bistro look. Definitely worth buying, and for the price you definitely can't go wrong. Hope that my feedback helps someone else make their decision on buying this set.
I love this set. It arrived within a week. All pieces were there and the delivery guys brought it up stairs to my second floor unit. It was easy to put together. It looks great in my small kitchen. The chairs are substantial and comfortable. I would recommend it to a friend.
The kitchen table and chairs arrived in a reasonable amount of time. It was myself and my daughter assemblying the set and wouldn't have been able to do it by myself. The quality was very good and true to the picture. The table was very easy to put together as well as 3 of the 4 chairs. We spent at least 20 minutes trying to line up the holes and had to give up because they just would not line up. I called customer service the next day and I must say I give them an "A" for solving the problem. They shipped out another chair in about 3 days after I explained what had happened. Very satisfied and would recommend this kitchen set to anyone.
The set looks just as it is in the picture. Nice quality. The only issue is with the chairs - they are not all even. Not sure if its the workmanship, but even with that, we still like the set and got it for a great price.
Although I love the style of the set, the quality of the table top is fair to poor. The table came scratched and the finish on the table has a few bubbles and is lifting.
Poor quality and looked like it should be outside and you get what you pay for. I sent this item back.
I was very happy with this dinner set. Looks so elegant. Would definitely recommend . Had seen so many dinner sets but so happy I got this one.
Decent style. Nice chairs. However, a couple of welds broke during assembly; from what I can tell, there is no way to fix that.
I just received this item. Putting it together myself was no problem. It took longer than is should have only because I was watching TV and stopping from time to time. So far I have been getting compliments on the table from everyone who visits. It's a nice looking piece.

Katie Brings Christmas To Laras...
Ah we're full of Christmas cheer and nonsense now that Katie Price kicked off the Yuletide Season, which is tradition in these here parts. Like, imagine Crimbo without Jordan's massive bean-bags? Well folks, it all happened at Lara's Boutique on Dame Lane last night...
Katie Price, really really really IS every pap's dream. Like, we get it publicised up the wazoo that she's gonna be at The Lara's Boutique Christmas party. Then she turns up late, bails in the door with 90 lads around her, and not a feckin' sniff of a snap... Oh the joy!
Then she hides inside the store completely out of camera range for the whole night, only to appear for a second hidden behind a slew of entourage on the way out. Like, why bother? If Katie Price doesn't want to be snapped, then Katie Price should go to Lara's Boutique incognito on a night when the press arent invited. Not after it's been announced in every newspaper and the dog in the street knows she's turning up... Janey Mack!
Annnyways, we got a frame or two of the over publicised 'model' as she left, and on seeing her close-up in the flesh you'd have to wonder what all the bloody fuss is about? Nothing to write home about folks. We heard someone at the party mutter: "rough as a bear's arse!" We think we know who they were talking about...
YUP. 'Twas the annual Christmas Party and new stock reveal at Lara's Boutique on Dame Lane last night with a decent discount for all... And apart from yer wan Jordan, everyone else seemed quite happy to pose for the ShowBiz.ie cameras... Thank fook!
Guests at Lara's included: Holly Carpenter, Hazel O'Sullivan, Pamela Ryan, Jocelyn Gray, Carla Jackson, Ciara Hughes, Ciara Hughes, Virginia Macari, Maria Fusco, Joanne Martin, Alison Canavan, Bernie Cafolla, and many more...
So there you have it folks, Katie Price came to Dublin amid much fanfare, then put on the whole I don't wanna be snapped act... You'd think at this stage we'd have copped on? Nah. We'll be there next year getting snubbed again... Suckers for punishment.

Also, I thought Tiffany was meant to be a Hollywood celebrity by now? Roffle.

'Meth' Conspirators Sentenced
On December 6 and 7, 2012, two southern Illinois residents were sentenced in U.S. District Court on a one-count indictment, charging conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Illinois, Stephen R. Wigginton, announced today.
Shana L. Ewing, 39, of Marion, was sentenced to 151 months in prison, 8 years of supervised release, and fined $200. Richard S. Spurgeon, a/k/a "Shane Spurgeon," 38, of Murphysboro, was sentenced to 100 months in prison, 4 years of supervised release, and fined $400. Evidence at the plea and sentencing hearings established that Ewing and Spurgeon were involved with others in the manufacture of methamphetamine. The conspiracy offense occurred between 2008, and January 30, 2012, in Williamson, Jackson, Saline, and Franklin Counties. Two co-defendants have previously been sentenced for their involvement in the methamphetamine conspiracy. Two co-defendants have pled guilty and are awaiting sentencing.
The ongoing investigation is being conducted by the Drug Enforcement Administration and Jackson County Sheriff's Office, with the assistance of the Murphysboro Police Department, Marion Police Department, Williamson County Sheriff's Office, Saline County Sheriff's Office, Illinois State Police, Carrier Mills Police Department, Harrisburg Police Department, and United States Marshals Service.
The case is assigned to Assistant United States Attorney Amanda A. Robertson for prosecution.

Found May 10, 2012 on Fox Sports North:
PLAYERS: Henderson Alvarez, John Farrell, Edwin Encarnacion, Adam Lind, JP Arencibia, Francisco Liriano, Ron Gardenhire, Jason Marquis
TEAMS: Toronto Blue Jays, Minnesota Twins, Chicago Cubs, Los Angeles Angels
TEAMS: Toronto Blue Jays, Minnesota Twins, Chicago Cubs, Los Angeles Angels
After mowing down a potent lineup to earn his first career shutout, Toronto Blue Jays starter Henderson Alvarez may have a good chance for another gem against the major league-worst Minnesota Twins. Alvarez looks to help the Blue Jays continue their recent domination of the Twins as the teams open a four-game set Thursday night at Target Field. Five days after throwing six-plus innings of one-run ball in a 7-2 win over Seattle, Alvarez (2-2, 2.83 ERA) proved even more impressive in Friday's 4-0 road victory over the Los Angeles Angels. The 22-year-old right-hander went the distance, allowing six hits and a walk and throwing 71 of his 97 pitches for strikes. "He's got confidence," Blue Jays manager John Farrell said. "Even if he's got two men on base, he's always a pitch away from slowing down any damage with a ground ball. We saw his overall composure last year in the 10 starts he made for us, and it continues right now." Averaging just 2.6 strikeouts per nine innings, Alvarez must succeed by pitching to contact and relying on the defense behind him. "I've always been a guy like that," Alvarez told the Blue Jays' official website. "I'm not going to make a lot of pitches, I'm going to be a guy that makes those guys swing the bat. There are going to be days when they're probably going to hit me, but I'm fine with that as long as I stay aggressive and make those guys swing the bat. That's my game plan." Toronto (17-14), which outscored Minnesota 44-14 while taking five of six meetings last season, has won 25 of the last 32 matchups in this series including four in a row and 12 of 14 in the Twin Cities. The Blue Jays bounced back from a three-game skid and salvaged a two-game split with Oakland with a 5-2 victory Wednesday. Edwin Encarnacion, Adam Lind and J.P. Arencibia all homered as Toronto improved to 3-3 on its 10-game road trip. "One thing that this team repeatedly does, it puts behind them some adversity and they go out and put together another good game," Farrell said. The Twins (8-22) are coming off their 13th loss in 16 games, falling 6-2 to the Angels on Wednesday. Minnesota, which ranks last in the AL with 102 runs, moved starter Francisco Liriano to the bullpen and optioned struggling third baseman Danny Valencia to Triple-A Rochester in an attempt to shake up the club. "We need to make some changes," manager Ron Gardenhire said. "We need some hits. We need some new life in here, the whole package." Minnesota tries to regroup behind Jason Marquis (2-1, 5.40), who suffered his first loss of the season in Saturday's 7-0 defeat at Seattle. The right-hander managed to limit the damage after issuing a career high-tying six walks, giving up two runs over six innings. Marquis hasn't faced the Blue Jays since June 14, 2008, when he threw seven-plus innings of one-run ball for the Chicago Cubs in a 6-2 victory in Toronto. Encarnacion is 8 for 16 with a pair of homers off Marquis.

Sports Writer
LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. —
North Laurel needed clutch free throws and key shots down the stretch to slip past South Laurel 50-46. There were 11 lead changes and five ties before the Jaguars took the lead for good in the fourth quarter.
"They've got a really good team. They're going to play well down the stretch. We had to play really well and this is a game we needed," North Laurel coach Brad Sizemore said. "This is a good game for us because it made us pick our level of play up."
South Laurel coach Jeff Davis praised the effort of his players, but the disappointment showed in a game he thought they could win and almost did.
"Nobody believes in us and that's the fact. We brought that on ourselves. We told our guys the only people that believe in us have got to be us in this locker room," Davis said.
There were probably believers when a spinning move by Zac Baxter gave the Cardinals a 38-37 lead with 6:10 to play. South Laurel had battled back from an eight-point hole and seemed to have confidence.
North Laurel regained the lead when Chris Miller scored off an offensive rebound by Weston Griebel. A couple of South Laurel misses led to baskets on the other end for Bryson Asher. Asher scored 13 of his 15 points in spurts in the first and fourth quarter. Between he sat with foul trouble.
"Bryson got in foul trouble, but when he was in there he did a tremendous job," Sizemore said.
The Jaguars led 48-42 on a put back by Asher. The Cardinals would have one more rally. A pull up by Baxter with 1:32 made it 48-44. The Cardinals missed a couple of chances to cut the lead further. With 21.6 seconds, Trevor Grubb drove the middle for a layup to make it a 48-46 game. Two Miller free throws would seal the win.
"You play your butts off and put yourself in a position to win a game and you feel like you should have won it, but you have to execute down the stretch. Give North credit, they executed down the stretch. They hit their free throws," Davis said.
The beginning of the game was just as close as the end. Almost every shot resulted in a tie or a lead change. South Laurel took a 9-7 lead into the second quarter.
The teams continued to swap leads until Elijah Jervis gave North Laurel a 14-13 lead with a pair of free throws. Jaythus Riley followed with the only North Laurel three-pointer of the game and his first of the season. Broughton picked off a pass and pulled up for a jumper and a 19-13 lead. The lead peaked at eight on Austin Thompson's free throws with 1:25 to play.
"Our younger guys got a little wide-eyed in the first half. I thought we played really hard and I was proud of our effort," Davis said.
The Jaguars still led 26-18 early in the second half. It took less than three minutes to lose the lead with an 11-0 Cardinal run.
"We just coughed the ball up and gave them some easy layups," Sizemore said. "We had two out of three straight possessions that we shot 30 footers and didn't run any kind of offense. We just have to learn how to play smart when we have a lead."
Jared Grubb scored off a steal to put South Laurel on top 27-26. Another steal and assist by Baxter led to a Trevor Grubb layup and a 29-26 lead.
"I'm proud of the way our guys fought back tonight. We haven't been playing well, so I was happy with the way we played," Davis said.
The lead continued to see saw with South Laurel grabbing some momentum to end the third quarter. They held for the final shot and Baxter delivered for a 34-33 Cardinal lead.
Although the lead slipped away in the fourth quarter, Davis still sees a lot of positives in the game.
"I love my team. We had a little rough stretch there after Christmas and everybody was writing us off. That's fine. The more people that keep writing us off our kids keep fighting," Davis said.
Sizemore also sees the win as another building block for the main goal of finishing strong in the post season. He saw similarities between the Cardinals and an upcoming district opponent.
"That team is kind of like Jackson County. That was a good matchup for us, being small with a lot of guys that can score," Sizemore said.
North Laurel 50, South Laurel 46
South Laurel 9 8 17 12—46
North Laurel 7 16 10 17—50
SOUTH LAUREL (46)—T. Grubb 7, Anders 2, Vandeventer 3, Brennan Miller 8, J. Grubb 10, Holcomb 2.
NORTH LAUREL (50)—Broughton 17, Miller 6, Jervis 2, Thompson 4, Asher 15, Jeffers 2, Hodges 1, Riley 3.
