The Battle of the Somme, fought in the summer and autumn of 1916, was one of the largest battles of the First World War. With more than one million casualties, it was also one of the bloodiest battles in human history. The Allied forces attempted to break through the German lines along a 25-mile (40 km) front north and south of the River Somme in northern France. One purpose of the battle was to draw German forces away from the Battle of Verdun; however, by its end the losses on the Somme had exceeded those at Verdun.

Inducing investments and regulating externalities by command versus taxes
AbstractA linear tax on an externality-generating activity may not attain the first-best social optimum. The problem arises because a monopolist's gain from improving the characteristics of a product may differ from social gian, even when consumers are willing to pay for change.Â

Q-Games unholsters PixelJunk Shooter
December 10 marks the release of PixelJunk Shooter, the next game from lauded development studio Q-Games.
If the developer's previous two digital download releases, tower defence standard bearer PixelJunk Monsters and quirky platformer PixelJunk Eden, are any indication, this newest title is sure to arrive on PlayStation Network with a bang.
The brightly coloured 2D game puts you in control of a miniature ship as you navigate magma-filled caves. Physic have a significant role in gameplay, as magma floes and sloshing water have to be dealt with as you delve deeper underground. Co-op is offered, as is remote play if you have a PSP.
Q-Games and publisher Sony haven't revealed the price, but it's likely to be 4.99 GBP / 9.99 USD.

OK, I've been told NO NO NO it can't be done, but what can I say...I'M stubborn! I have a 900 Model III that won't RX below 927.3-927.4 depending on temperature. Sounds like VCO to me. The two VCO's on the bottom of the board look like they are tuneable via a laser etched tab, similar in the way a 900 Maxtrac is, but I'm told they are not??? Why? Why can't I add a little "material" to the tuning tab to lower the band edge to 927.000? The only thing is, where is the ref voltage to measure and which VCO is TA and which is TX/RX? One VCO has a flat "tab" similar to Maxtrac 900 tuning, the other has a "strip" that can be shortened or material added.
It is impossible to work on the VCO's while the unit is on since the board must be completely removed to work on it, so you will have to make a change, reassemble and test. But, what to test? Vref test point??? One VCO has a flat "tab" similar to Maxtrac 900 tuning, the other has a "strip" that can be shortened or material added.
I am curious as to why I have been told attempting this will destroy the radio?? I'm sure someone tried and killed it, but I wonder if they were working on the correct part of the board since they are completely hidden unless the radio is completely disassembled. Honestly, coming from someone that has built, tuned and tested MANY strip line tuned VCO's and microwave amplifiers, it doesn't look that hard!
Any help?...encouragement.....discouragement....steering voltage test point.....a really good explanation why not......someone that destroyed one and what they did to do it???

Miracle Room Dedication Tuesday, November 13
On Tuesday, November 13th 2012, the Villa Academy community will dedicate the "Miracle Room" with a brief ceremony and the unveiling of a special bronze plaque to commemorate the site of the second of two miracles credited to St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, the foundress of Villa Academy. The program will begin in the Academy's Parlor at 9:30 AM and will be followed by refreshments, also in the Parlor.
Mother Frances Cabrini died on December 22, 1917 in Chicago, Illinois. Since her death, at least two miracles, investigated and confirmed by the authorities of the Catholic Church in the Vatican, have been attributed to her. These miracles were the foundation for Frances Cabrini's canonization on July 7, 1946 as the first American citizen to be proclaimed a saint of the Roman Catholic Church.
The first miracle associated with Mother Cabrini occurred in 1921. On March 21st of that year, Peter Smith, a newborn infant at Columbus Hospital in New York had a solution of 50% nitrate (instead of the customary 1% solution of nitrate) applied to his eyes. Until the development and widespread adoption of antibiotics, diluted solutions of silver nitrate were dropped into the eyes of newborns at birth to prevent the contraction of certain diseases from the mother. With the application of the 50% solution to Peter's eyes, blindness resulted.
The Sisters caring for the baby placed a relic of the late Mother Cabrini on the child and, after they prayed for a cure, Mother Cabrini interceded with the first miracle accredited to her. The next day, doctors were astounded when they found no damage whatsoever to the infant's eyes. The baby, Peter Smith, later became a Catholic priest and visited Villa Academy in the 1980s.
The second miracle credited to Mother Cabrini occurred at Villa Academy. The event was recorded in the May 1959 edition of St. Joseph Magazine as follows:
As Josephine Graziola, Sr. Delfina was received into the society [the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus] by Mother Cabrini in Italy in 1911. In 1914 she came to the United States and in 1916 went west to Seattle. There she was put in charge of the nurses' quarters at old Columbus Hospital. The miracle, to which she testified at Mother Cabrini's Cause for Canonization, happened like this:
"In 1925 I got very sick," Sr. Delfina relates simply. "I couldn't hold anything in my stomach. I had four major operations and finally the doctors said my only chance was another operation. I refused. I couldn't even stand up; I was so weak. All I had, each day, was a small bit of the Host when they brought communion to me.
One day the bishop came to [Sacred Heart Villa to] confirm the orphanage girls and he came to see me too. After he gave me his blessing he told me to pray to [Mother Cabrini] our foundress. I didn't see how there was any hope; I was a skeleton. But I prayed and so did all of my sisters. Finally one night, the 14th of December 1925, I couldn't sleep and I looked up and Mother [Cabrini] was standing there. She shook her finger at me, just like she always did and said: 'I'm going to send you to work.' Then she smiled and disappeared.
I didn't know what to think. For two days I didn't tell anyone and just kept saying to myself, Mother told me… Mother told me… but I felt so much better that everyone could see the change. The next day I ate three meals and kept them all down. Then I told my confessor what had happened and said that I had to get up by December 22nd (the anniversary of Mother Cabrini's death) and he told me to just get up and go to the [Villa] chapel by myself. I did."
Sr. Delfina lived for 42 more years following her cure in 1925; she died on November 23, 1967 at the age of 76 and is buried at nearby Calvary Cemetery with many other Missionary Sisters from the Seattle community.
The room in which Sr. Delfina received her miracle is currently the Office of Admission and Community Relations, on the second floor, directly across from the Academy's Parlor.
Villa Academy (formerly, Sacred Heart Villa Academy) remains a special place in the hearts of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus due to its rich history and the involvement of Mother Cabrini. They continue to remember Villa in their prayers – and the Villa Academy community is grateful for the dedication of the Sisters in the building of a literal and spiritual foundation for educating our young students.
All members of the Villa Academy community are invited to join Board Chair Mark Grey (Villa Academy Class of 1984), Fr. Stephen Okumu (pastor of St. Bridget Parish), Fr. Tim Saur (former pastor of St. Bridget Parish), Sr. Renee Kittelson, MSC (Resource Coordinator, Cabrini Senior Housing, Seattle) and me in this important celebration of Villa Academy's spirit and heritage!

8th Grade Mock Trial
On February 9, 2012, the Villa Academy 8th Grade U.S. History students traveled to the Federal Courthouse in downtown Seattle to try former president Andrew Jackson for his alleged crimes against humanity, which occurred in the 1830's as Americans moved west. The specific charges stated that "President Andrew Jackson, with premeditated intent, did conduct or authorize a widespread or systemic attack against a civilian population (herein, the Cherokee Nation), where the following methods were employed: murder, extermination, deportation or forcible transfer of population, and other similar inhuman acts that caused great suffering and serious injury."
Judge John C. Coughenour presided over the opening and closing statements. Unfortunately, he was still presiding over another trial and could not stay for the whole morning. Chris P. Reilly, colleague of Mr. Guadagno, presided over the rest of the trial.
The trial lasted for almost two hours, though a few jurors were in tears within minutes of the Prosecution's opening statement. Students battled back and forth between direct and cross examinations, showcasing both their exhaustive preparation and their abilities to think on their feet. 8B, the prosecution, focused on Jackson's threat of "utter annihilation" during their opening and closing statements, while 8A rested their defense on the choices given to the Cherokees, and the consequences of those choices. Ultimately, the jury returned a GUILTY verdict after debating the charges and testimony for almost an hour.
The students impressed everyone: the judge(s), court clerks, visiting parents, jurors, Mr. Guadagno, and Ms. Brooks. In fact, the court staff said that the kids were incredibly professional, poised, and confident.
One parent-spectator said, "What a huge success today! It was so much fun to see the mock trial. All the kids were amazing. The enthusiasm and hard work by all was more than apparent. An event to be remembered forever!"
Judge Coughenour invited the students to ask questions about his career, including his appointment by President Reagan and his most well-known cases. The students were able to tour Judge Coughenour's office, library, and jury room as well.
We are so grateful to Michael Guadagno for all of the ways he supported the 8th Graders during this experience. He put forth an incredible amount of effort and time, and his guidance was invaluable.
Historic Marquee Clean-Up Project
Today, in rainy 40 degree weather, Mrs. O'Neil and the 2nd grade tackled a forest of overgrown rhododendrons with hand-held pruners and work gloves.
Their mission: to reveal the historic Sacred Heart Villa Academy marquee at the original main entrance.
Each year Mrs. O'Neil finds a project that highlights Villa's history. Computer lab studies are integrated with community curriculum in the classroom, and students have the opportunity to examine elements of the school that are original to Villa from 1924.
This year students were excited to uncover a buried treasure beneath years of overgrowth!
Look for the display of this project in progress on the main bulletin board outside the computer lab!
Home Sweet Home
Villa Academy is lucky to call the Laurelhurst neighborhood its home. We have enjoyed the treasures of this favorable location since Mother Cabrini's decision to move the school here in 1914. She definitely understood the importance of location. To read more about Laurelhurst in the The Seattle Times "neighborhood of the week" article click here.
Heavenly Deal: Sisters Sell Villa campus for $7.1M
Puget Sound Business Journal (Seattle) – by Jeanne Lang Jones Staff Writer
Correction at bottom of article
Villa Academy has paid just over $7 million to purchase its eight-acre Laurelhurst campus from the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
The school, located at 5001 N.E. 50th in Seattle, lies within a 26-acre tract purchased a century ago by the order's founder, Mother Cabrini, who built a convent, an orphanage and an elementary school on the property. The tract stretches from 50th Avenue Northeast near Children's Hospital and Medical Center all the way down to Lake Washington.
Under its agreement with the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Villa Academy will own its campus and continue leasing the remainder of the property for the use of its students, staff and faculty.
The deal is deeply rooted in Seattle's past. It starts with Frances Xavier Cabrini, a young Italian nun sent to America by the pope to minister to Italian immigrants.
The woman who would become America's first Catholic saint first visited Seattle in 1903, returning several times to establish an orphanage and school on Beacon Hill, before relocating them to the Laurelhurst/Windermere neighborhood.
Cabrini bought the Laurelhurst property in 1908 with the help of prominent real estate broker Henry Broderick. He declined payment for his work, accepting instead Cabrini's rosary beads. Broderick is the namesake for both Seattle developer Gregory Broderick Smith and Bellevue's Broderick Group commercial real estate brokerage. In 1924, John Graham Sr., the architect behind many of downtown Seattle's historic buildings, designed the two buildings that would later become Villa Academy. A gymnasium was added in the late 1950s.
The city also played a role in Cabrini's life. It was here that she became a U.S. citizen in 1909. Additionally, one of the miracles that led to her canonization was performed in what is now the school's admissions office. After her death in 1917, it's believed that Cabrini appeared in a vision to a seriously ill young nun. The nun, who had not been expected to live through the night, awoke the next morning saying that Cabrini told her, "Now is not your time. There is too much work to be done." The young nun worked at the school until she died in 1969. Cabrini was canonized as a saint in 1946.
These days, Villa Academy serves about 400 students ranging in age from preschool through middle school. It accepts students from a variety of faiths and follows Cabrini's precept that a school should provide an education of the heart as well as the mind.
Villa Academy has been leasing its campus ever since the late '70s, when the nuns stopped running the school to concentrate their missionary efforts in other parts of the world.
Recently, with the aging buildings needing substantial maintenance, the school decided it should own the property and began negotiating to purchase it from the sisters five years ago.
"It's built like a fortress and has been well cared for but the exterior only has a certain lifetime," said Head of School Polly Skinner.
The transaction was made more complex by the need to obtain Vatican approval for the sale, Singer said.
To make the purchase and needed repairs, Villa Academy raised $4.7 million in a two-year capital campaign. The school also obtained $7.1 million in low-interest bonds through the Washington State Housing Finance Commission, which has helped finance a number of school-related projects locally.
Later this summer, the school plans to begin renovating its campus by replacing roofs and building a new covered play area for students.

The Catholic NW Progress article on purchase of the Villa Campus
Villa Academy purchases campus
Villa Academy has purchased its historic buildings and eight acres of the 26-acre property from the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart, the school announced this week.
The 400-student, independent Catholic school, which offers preschool through eighth grade, has been leasing the site from the sisters since 1977.
Five years in the making, the purchase agreement included securing approval from the Vatican in 2005, said school spokeswoman Nicole Chism Griffin.
St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, first American saint, founded what is now Villa Academy in 1903 when she and her sisters opened an orphanage and school in 1903 on Beacon Hill, moving it to its current site on a hill in Laurelhurst in 1914 after the future saint envisioned a "villa on a hill."
The two historic, brick-clad buildings now used by the academy were designed by noted architect John Graham, Sr. and built in 1924.
The sisters closed the orphanage in 1951 but continued operating the school as Sacred Heart Villa until the mid-1970s when it was turned over to an independent lay board of trustees.
With this week's purchase agreement, the sisters will continue to own the remaining 18 acres, leasing it to the academy.

Marshall Henderson Who?
- Written by Jonathan Mason
At this very point in time, I can honestly say the following. I don't care to hear/read/think any more about the attention hungry athlete who is currently responsible for clogging my social media streams, Mr. Marshal Henderson.
I get it. He antagonizes fans. I've read enough articles about his alleged lack of ethics today to make my eyes hurt. Fans need someone to hate and he is clearly more than happy to be the center of attention.
Who cares? We have a basketball game to win. Let's talk about what could be the biggest game on this young Kentucky team's schedule to date. The Cats are sitting in fourth in conference play boasting a 13-6/4-2 record and are just 2-3 in true road games. The atmosphere from the stands in this game is sure to be no less hostile than any other road game to date.
Ole Miss (17-2/6-0) comes in to the game on a nine game winning streak, having beaten Missouri (ranked 10th at the time) and owning just one home loss this season. The aforementioned Marshall Henderson will certainly be a part of the Wildcat's game plan as he has made teams pay who could not defend the perimeter.
Kentucky freshman big, Willie Cauley-Stein did not participate in shoot around and if he is inactive for tonight's game, the back-to-back SEC Freshman of the Week, Nerlens Noel will have a large load to carry in the paint.
Alex Poythress could be the key to tonight's game as he looks to build off a career first double-double against LSU last Saturday. A key match-up for tonight will be whoever receives the task of guarding Henderson. I have no doubt Archie Goodwin will have a majority of the load but look for Cal to throw a couple different looks at the Ole Miss guard, especially in the case that he gets hot from beyond the arch.
Currently, on the remainder of the Wildcats' schedule there are only four games against AP Top 25 competition, Ole Miss being the first and the other three consisting of #4 Florida (home and away) and a College Game Day match-up in Rupp against #17 Missouri.
With so few chances left to impress and a dismal RPI that seems to be sinking like the Titanic, many are saying this young Kentucky team is in need of an impressive win or two to secure a ticket to March Madness. Regardless of the various opinions on the state of Kentucky's tourney hopes, one thing is undeniable. The fan-base is craving a breakthrough game, the team could use a big win and the stage is set for tonight to be an instant classic, game of the week sort of performance by the Wildcats.

INDIANAPOLIS — Johnny Manziel stood at the NFL combine podium, poised.
He showed confidence with every response. He located each media member who asked him a question despite there being more than a hundred gathered in a horseshoe around him.
Manziel knew questions were coming about his maturity and if he could be trusted with the keys to an NFL franchise, and he was ready.
Two years in the spotlight tends to polish people.
Manziel, the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner and Texas A&M quarterback, handled himself on Friday like a potential No 1. pick.
"I believe whenever I decided to make this decision to turn professional, it was a time to put my college years in the past," Manziel said. "This is a job. There are guys' families, coaches' families and jobs and all kinds of things on the line. For me, it won't be a hard thing to kick. I'm extremely focused on whatever organization I'm at."
The Houston Texans could take Manziel with the No. 1 pick, and even if they don't, it's unlikely Manziel drops out of the top 10. Central Florida's Blake Bortles and Louisville's Teddy Bridgewater join Manziel in the consensus top three quarterbacks in the draft.
In college, Manziel had a tendency to do what college kids do. He drank and he partied. He also did what most college kids don't get the opportunity to do, like getting paid for his signature by an autograph broker – a move that earned him a half-game suspension.
But Manziel said he's toned down his act since finishing his career with the Aggies. He has been training in San Diego with quarterback guru George Whitfield and declined to attend Super Bowl festivities.
Manziel made a name for himself as the most electrifying player in college football for two seasons, and clips of his escapes from the pocket can be found with a few keystrokes on YouTube. But he hopes to prove wrong the critics who say he's just an improviser and not a pocket passer.
"There's times where plays aren't going to go as scripted as people draw them up on the whiteboard," Manziel said. "Whenever that happens you go through your reads and there are going to be times where you have to take off and get outside of the pocket and extend plays. But at the same time I want to be a guy that can drop back and go through my reads and my progressions and take what the defense gives."
But Manziel isn't going to prove that at the combine. He decided to not do throwing drills this week. Instead, he said he would make any throw at any private workout for teams, and he will throw to his Texas A&M receivers at the school's pro day.
Manziel measured in at 5-foot-11 and ¾ inches, a height that at the NFL level will be difficult to primarily be a pocket passer.
"I play with a lot of heart, a lot of passion," Manziel said. "I feel like I play like I'm 10 feet tall. The measurement to me is just a number."

Yes, I blew NaBloPoMo. I failed at my own thing! For the first time in what, five years? I haven't posted every day in November, and you know what? Oh, well. C'est la guerre. This weekend at Camp Mighty was not a time for withdrawing to my room and ruminating on lessons learned, it was a time best spent fetching cocktail napkins for Alice to cry into and drinking margaritas while talking to Heather about the election. And also doing this:
I have never before in my life put on a wig and shiny green pants to go to a party, I don't know what's happening to me. If this is how a mid-life crisis escalates, brace yourselves; it could happen to you, too.
Also, I stopped posting because I stopped drawing every day, and now I'm horribly behind. This next drawing comes at the request of someone who wanted an elephant.
It is so much more than just an elephant, it is a baby elephant hiding in a bush while its mother looks in the other direction, with Mt. Kilimanjaro in the background. How about them apples? I have no idea if they have bushes like that on the road to Kilimanjaro or if elephants even roam in the area, and frankly I was tempted to pull a Little Prince and draw an elephant inside a snake that looks like a hat, but that would be plagiarism and I'm not interested in being so unoriginal. Awkward, yes. Illogical, of course. But by God at least I'm making my own awkward, illogical drawings.

By ZAZALI MUSA email@example.com
JOHOR BARU: High-end and high-rise residential and commercial properties as well as an international passenger ferry terminal are being planned under a multi-billion ringgit waterfront development project along the coastal line of Sungai Tebrau near the Permas Jaya bridge.
Tebrau Teguh Bhd, which is in the planning stage to develop the project, will also start water taxi services connecting Johor Baru and Singapore and ferry services to nearby Indonesian islands.
Tebrau Teguh executive vice-chairman Tan Sri Lim Kang Hoo said the initial component of the project, the land reclaimation work covering 40.46ha, would start next year.
He said it would take a year to finish the work and once it was completed, work on the mixed development project would start immediately. "The project with a gross development value of between RM4bil and RM5bil will keep us busy for 10 to 15 years,'' Lim told StarBiz after the company EGM on Monday.
At the meeting, shareholders approved the recurrent related-party transactions (RRPT) of revenue or trading involving three related parties and their subsidiaries and associate companies.
The RRPT involves Knusford Bhd, Kumpulan Prasarana Rakyat Johor Sdn Bhd and Iskandar Waterfont Holdings Sdn Bhd with an estimated annual value of RM250mil from Nov 12 to the next AGM.
Separately, he said Tebrau Teguh has completed the site clearance and earthworks and laying the infrastructure for the relocation of villagers affected by the refinery and petrochemical integrated (Rapid) project in Pengerang, Kota Tinggi district area.
Lim said the company would start the construction of 1,036 houses on plot A of the new resettlement on 154.18ha either in December or January 2013 and had been given a year to finish the RM530mil job.
"We are confident of completing the job on time based on our previous track records where all projects undertaken by us are done ahead of schedule,'' he said.

What a wonderful, unique home Elk A Way is! The house was clean and had all the amenities we needed; in particular, we loved the convection oven and the master bed on the third floor was very comfy! There was plenty of wood for the wood burning stove, and the heaters were effective for those bedrooms that needed them. Everyone was quite comfortable! We enjoyed our son's spring break vacation here with eight college boys and my husband and I. The location allowed those who wanted to ski or snow-board to do so easily close-by at Eldora. Then, those who wanted to hike found trails and snow shoe rentals right in Nederland. We drove two different times to Rocky Mountain National Park (1.25 hours away) and did some serious snow shoe hiking! It was beautiful and fun! The evenings were relaxing for all…the guys hogged all the wi-fi bandwidth gaming down in the lower level. Nederland is a funky little mountain town with a great grocery store and a few good restaurants, as well. The pizza place was pretty good—the boys went there three times! Marcus, the owner, could not have been more helpful and kind. Thank you, thank you, for helping the boys get their car pulled back up onto the road after they went off the shoulder during a sudden snow storm on the last night of our stay! That was very helpful and saved the boys so much time and money not having to wait on and pay for a tow truck! We would highly recommend this property! Celia and Dale
The Diamond T was perfect for our family. Very cozy, comfortable, and well-furnished. The mattresses are great, which is important when you are staying someplace for a week or longer. The lodge is only minutes from Eldora but also has a nice, isolated feeling since it sits on 2.5 acres. Gavin is a pleasure to work with and we will definitely be back. Maybe in the summer next time.
The Latino Law Student Association at University of Colorado Law School hosted our annual retreat at Peakview Lodge. It was great! The lodge is beautiful, it is conveniently located to Boulder/Denver and great outdoor attractions like skiing and hiking. We will definitely be spreading the word at CU Boulder and hope to make this our retreat destination in future years! Thank you, Peakview!

$ ssh vchianti.vbrew.com "tar cf - /etc/" | tar xvf -
firstname.lastname@example.com's password:
Here we surrounded the command we will execute with quotation marks to make it clear what is passed as an argument to ssh and what is used by the local shell. This command executes the tar command on the remote host to archive the /etc/ directory and write the output to standard output. We've piped to an instance of the tar command running on our local host in extract mode reading from standard input.
Again, we were prompted for the password. Now you can see why we encouraged you to configure ssh so that it doesn't prompt you for passwords all the time! Let's now configure our local ssh client so that it won't prompt for a password when connecting to the vchianti.vbrew.com host. We mentioned the .ssh/authorized_keys file earlier; this is where it is used. The .ssh/authorized_keys file contains the public keys on any remote user accounts that we wish to automatically log in to. You can set up automatic logins by copying the contents of the .ssh/identity.pub from the remote account into our local .ssh/authorized_keys file. It is vital that the file permissions of .ssh/authorized_keys allow only that you read and write it; anyone may steal and use the keys to log in to that remote account. To ensure the permissions are correct, change .ssh/authorized_keys , as shown:
$ chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
The public keys are a long single line of plain text. If you use copy and paste to duplicate the key into your local file, be sure to remove any end of line characters that might have been introduced along the way. The .ssh/authorized_keys file may contain many such keys, each on a line of its own.
The ssh suite of tools is very powerful and there are many other useful features and options that you will be interested in exploring. Please refer to the manual pages and other documentation that is supplied with the package for more information.

After looking at the pitching the previous two weeks, today I am moving to the other side of that battery, the catchers. We are going to be looking over the next two years at the position. While it may seem a bit similar to the State of the Farm series, the purpose here is to look at the current Reds and the contract status of the players at each position and get into potential internal replacements for when those current Reds contracts expire.
Expires after the 2014 season: No one
With both Devin Mesoraco and Brayan Pena locked up for the 2014 and 2015 season, it puts the Reds in a good position where they won't have to make multiple replacements all at once. Of course, catching is a demanding position and it isn't often that a team gets through a full season without calling someone up from the minor leagues to catch.
Potential catchers who could come during or after the 2014 season: Tucker Barnhart
The Reds have trotted out plenty of veteran catchers at the Triple-A level since Devin Mesoraco was promoted to the Major Leagues to start the 2012 season, but the 2014 season will see something different as Tucker Barnhart will be behind the plate for the Bats a majority of the time. Barnhart has been added to the 40-man roster this offseason and with his advanced defense and solid bat, he is very likely to be the option called upon should the big league club need to fill the position during or after the 2014 season. Given that Barnhart is the only option listed, there is no most likely option or wild card pick here.
Expires after the 2015 season: Brayan Pena
While it is very likely that Tucker Barnhart will assume the role left by Pena, things could change and leave open some competition.
Potential catchers who could come during or after the 2015 season: Chris Berset, Yovan Gonzalez, Joe Hudson
The top bet here is probably Chris Berset. Berset finished the season in Double-A Pensacola in 2013, higher than the other two. Defensively he shows some skills and he has shown good plate discipline throughout his career. He has never hit over .244 in a single season though. The bat is usually the last to develop with catchers, but he will be 26-years-old next season so time is running short for him to step forward from the crowd. Yovan Gonzalez finished his season in Advanced-A Bakersfield (he spent three games in Louisville as an injury fill in) in 2013. He hit .262/.330/.313 and threw out 32% of base runners on the season. Despite playing in the hitter friendly California League, he showed no power to speak of. He carries a light bat, but has shown the defensive abilities that he could wind up in a backup role of sorts if things go right. Joe Hudson spent his first professional season with the Dayton Dragons in Low-A. After a slow start in the first half he rebounded some, hitting .247/.328/.332 with good plate discipline. He is further away than the other two guys, but could push them for playing time by 2015 as he moves up the ladder if he can show some of the promise in his bat and improve his defense some.
Most likely to take over in 2016: Chris Berset
It really is a toss up here between the three guys as they all have their positives and negatives with them right now, so I took the easy way out and picked the player who is the closest to the Majors right now.
Wild card pick: Joe Hudson
Hudson has the biggest upside of the three players, but he is also the lowest player on the totem pole right now with no experience higher than Dayton. He showed flashes of a solid bat during the season and like the others he has good tools behind the plate to work with. It will just be a matter of him putting them together quick enough to make it high enough to be ready by then.

From OpenwaterpediaLee Swim is one of the top open water swimming events in Ireland and the world. The Lee River course runs through the centre of the City of Cork, Ireland. It is one of the World's Top 100 Open Water Swims.
Originally held in 1914, the event will celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2014. It annually draws more than 420 swimmers in its 99th edition and crowds in excess of 5,000. Most swimmers compete for age group prizes (under 20, 20-24, 25-29...up to 80-84) while others raise money for local charities. Following the swim a very social atmosphere continues on the boardwalk outside the Clarion Hotel and various festivities into the night.

A fair tax?
The "fair trade tax" (HR 25/S122) -- a more fair taxing structure? Is it a fair tax? It requires repealing the 16th Amendment to the Constitution and replacing it with a consumption tax instead of an income tax. That means that those of us who are not well off, whose income has remained static for the last 30 years while employers' incomes grew astronomically, will likely be taxed on every penny we earn because we just make enough to pay our bills (consumption), if we're lucky, and don't have much of a savings account, if any. The wealthy will pay their bills and still have significant gains in their savings accounts and investments. They can buy a yacht, take a world tour, etc., and still have monies invested. Is it fair to have the majority of the population, just getting by, but taxed on all they earn, and the wealthy continue to grow their wealth? Interest income won't be taxed; it isn't "a new good or service." Do we want the "serfs" held down unable to build a better life for themselves and their families while the "lords and ladies" have it all and keep it? Is that fair?

Polymer Clay seashells inspired by my first Bead Cruise. Where have I been the last two weeks? Getting ready for the cruise and then sailing from tropical island to tropical island while I taught bead and jewelrymaking classes. It's a tough life, but someone has to do it!
You can make your own shell beads with my simple tutorial. By trying different colors you can create beads that look completely different. Here are a few examples of the same cane in different color schemes:

India says terrorists who killed nearly 200 people last week were from a Pakistani militant group. Pakistan, in turn, says there's no evidence of that. Freelance journalist Graham Usher, who is based in Islamabad, Pakistan, says people on both sides are worried the rivals are on their way to another war.

Two men were arrested early Sunday morning for allegedly breaking into a commercial van at 14266 Doolittle Drive to steal video equipment, police say.
The van belonged to North American Video Corp., a vendor of video equipment and supplies according to YellowPages.com.
According to a police report, the incident began at 5:35 am when officers responded to an audible car alarm.
Police say that suspects Christopher Miller, 37, of Union City, and Brian Belger, 34, of Alameda, were found inside a van whose window had been smashed in.
Police say they caught the two men removing video equipment from the van. Miller and Belger were arrested for auto burglary and transported to jail.

On Saturday, Dec.14, 2013, five young men from Boy Scouts Troop 3001 in Mineral Wells received their Eagle Scout award.
This local troop meets at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The five young men from Mineral Wells who earned the award are John Christian Stacy, Garrett Darden, Hunter Stacy, Nathan Gay and Landon Bell.
Typically this award is given to each recipient individually, but the entire group set a goal to complete it together so they wanted to receive it as a group. Each young man has been working diligently toward rank advancement and performing service projects over the past few years to complete this challenging accomplishment.
To achieve the rank of Eagle Scout a young man must complete a minimum of 21 merit badges and organize and lead a service project benefitting the local community. The local council requirement on Eagle projects mandated 50-plus man hours to be spent on each project. Of all boys entering Boy Scouts, fewer than four percent reach the rank of Eagle Scout.
John Christian Stacy's (16) project involved repainting fire hydrants around town. He organized various teams to repaint the hydrants silver and painting the cap of each hydrant the appropriate color indicating the amount of gallons per minute at the specific hydrant. Over 60 hydrants were painted.
Garrett Darden (15) organized and assisted in installing a sprinkler system for the raised bed gardens at Meals on Wheels. This project required contacting local businesses to acquire the appropriate pipe, trenching equipment and timers.
Hunter Stacy (15) set up a clothing drive to help the needy. The first week involved groups passing out flyers to local residents and then returning the following week to collect them. Clothing was then donated to a local charity.
Nathan Gay's (14) project benefited the local Vietnam Memorial.

The Southampton Town Board to planned development districts, a zoning tool that allows greater density on a parcel of land than is allowable by current zoning in exchange for a community benefit.
The reforms were designed to increase the community's input to the PPD approval process and to clarify benefits. The town's list of changes to PDD law is attached to this article.
The changes were much lauded at Tuesday's town board meeting, prior to the adoption of the legislation, which was the product of seven public hearings.

Ruby Phillips, 101, of Casey, passed away at 7 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 20, 2013, at Heartland Manor Nursing Center, Casey.
Funeral services will be at 2 p.m. today, Oct. 22, at Barkley Funeral Chapel, Greenup. Visitation will be one hour prior to service time at the funeral chapel. Burial will be in Harmony Cemetery, rural Greenup. Memorials can be made to either to Heartland Manor or Simple Blessings in Casey. Online condolences may be expressed at www.barkleyfuneralchapels.com.
She was born Aug. 29, 1912, in Cumberland County, near Timothy, the daughter of Nellie and Garrett Wall. Nellie passed away Feb. 9, 1914, when Ruby was 17 months old.
