Smoked My First Pork Butts
Whats going on yall. New to the site so I decided to upload a few pictures of my first few pork butts. I currently own a Bayou Classic and am in the process of building my UDS.
1st picture is my first pork butt I smoked. Didn't use any foil for this cook.
2nd picture are my next 2 pork butts I decided to cook. Used a different rub on each one and then let sit wrapped over night.
3rd picture are the two pork butts before I wrapped them in foil--after around 6 hours. Put some of the drippings in the bottom of the foil before wrapping.
Afterwards I let them rest in my cooler for about 1 hour then pulled it apart. Came out really good to me. Really tender and moist. Great smoke flavor.
4th picture is the final spread. A little sausage, Bayou Burgers stuffed with cheddar cheese and jalapenos, and a few other things.
All in all it was a pretty good meal. I am by no means a pro at this but I enjoy it. When I come in from offshore this time I will try and tackle a brisket.

Incentives courtesy of Stiefel Freethought Foundation
Foundation Beyond Belief (FBB) is proud to announce that we are a "Special Friend" team partner with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) for their Light The Night Walks. We will be the rallying point around which local freethought, atheist, and secular humanist groups will form teams to participate in Light the Night Walks. Incentives courtesy of Stiefel Freethought FoundationFoundation Beyond Belief is striving to raise $500,000 in 2013 for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Light The Night Walk. LLS will provide rewards and recognition directly to individual fundraisers. Thanks to a grant from the Stiefel Freethought Foundation, FBB will be providing incentives to national and local freethought organizations to encourage and thank them for participation in this project. Click here to see our 2012 Incentive Winners! Local Team Incentives FBB will be awarding recognition plaques to top local teams and $19,000 in reward grants that top local teams will be able to direct to qualifying freethought groups of their choice. Local teams that are a part of the FBB international team will each receive an award plaque and be able to direct the indicated cash prize: Total Dollars Raised: Average Dollars Raised (per team member; minimum team size of 10): Student Group Prizes: The cash prizes can be directed by the winning groups with a maximum of half of the prize going to local 501(c)(3) freethought organizations and a minimum of half of the prize going to FBB's Ally national freethought groups. A group may choose to give more than half or all of the prize to FBB's national Allies. They may divide the grant among as many groups as they would like. For example, if the Hitchville Atheist Meetup raises the most money as a team, they will be able to direct $5,000 in grants. They may choose to direct $2,500 to themselves, if they qualify as a public charity, or to a different local group that does qualify. They can direct the other $2,500 to national Ally groups and have it split evenly between two different groups that they are affiliated with. Alternatively, HAM could direct the entire $5,000 to one national Ally freethought group. All grant prizes will be given in U.S. dollars only to U.S. based freethought organizations that are qualified 501(c)(3) public charities in good standing with the Internal Revenue Service. Freethought organizations can be humanist, atheist, agnostic, skeptic, etc., with FBB reserving the sole right to determine which organizations qualify. National freethought groups only qualify if they are a part of FBB's LLS Ally program. Home Office Incentive We are offering a $1,000 PRIZE to the largest fundraising team of an Ally's home office (such as, American Humanist Association's D.C. headquarters). This money will come from a grant from the Foundation Beyond Belief based on a donation from Stiefel Freethought Foundation. This incentive will go to the headquarter that raises the most total dollars during the walk year! Please note that Home Office teams can compete for overall team awards, but not for student awards. Online Personality Incentives In 2013, FBB LTN is offering an incentive program for Online Personalities (e.g., bloggers, podcasters, vloggers, and other online folks) to join the freethought movement in raising money for LLS. Winners will be announced and linked in Foundation Beyond Belief social media, including the FBB blog, twitter, Facebook, and newsletters. Stiefel Freethought is committing $3500 in grants for the top ten Online Personality-led virtual teams to direct to FBB LTN allies (see below): First place fundraising = $1000 grant Second = $800 Third = $600 Fourth = $400 Fifth = $200 Sixth - Tenth = $100 PURPOSE The purpose of this program is to give Online Personalities an opportunity to be a part to the FBB-LLS partnership and increase the engagement of freethinkers who can't participate in a walk. Ideally, this will complement, not compete, with the efforts of local freethought groups to recruit walkers and raise money. Our intention is for Personalities to use their platforms to encourage readers, followers, listeners, and supporters to join in whatever way they can, as leaders of a team, as walkers, or as fundraisers/donors to Online Personality virtual team after walk season has ended. 20% PROMO BONUS Online Personalities who promote Registration Week and Kickoff Week will receive a 20% bonus when FBB staff tallies the totals to determine the winners. Links to promos should be sent to email@example.com. HOW TO PARTICIPATE To participate, create a team following the registration guide. Online Personality team names should include "Virtual Team-FBB" at the end of the team name. Online Personalities can recruit people to donate and/or join their virtual team and help fundraise. Please wait until November to start teams so that Online Personalities don't compete with the efforts of local freethought groups. RESTRICTIONS Online Personality teams do not qualify for local team, student team, or home office incentives. Online Personalities may have an Online Personality team as well as lead or walk in a local team. FBB has sole discretion to determine the difference between a team led by a blogger (with national/international fundraisers) and a local team led by a blogger (with local fundraisers). Multiple contributors to the same blog (e.g., Friendly Atheist) may combine efforts as a team, but blog networks (e.g., Freethought Blogs) must participate as separate blogs. Online personality teams must raise a minimum of $500 to qualify for incentive prizes. Allies who may be awarded grants: American Atheists, American Humanist Association, American Ethical Union, Atheist Alliance of America, Camp Quest, Center For Inquiry, Freedom From Religion Foundation, Harvard Humanist Chaplaincy & Alumni, Military Association of Atheists and Freethinkers, Secular Student Alliance, Society for Humanistic Judaism, and United Coalition of Reason. |

Thanks to Rookie Dad Ryan for this tip. If you're getting tired of picking up Cheerios that have been flung over the highchair tray, feed your older baby directly on the floor.
I noticed that Holden will make a pass under the dining room table and grab anything lingering from the most recent meal.
My friend, Jeanine, takes it a step further and actually leaves little pieces of teryaki tofu (or actual fruit) on the floor so that Pepper will think it's forbidden fruit. Pepper also enjoys lint and the occasional ladybug.
And isn't this (even slightly) better than your kid picking up some mystery food?

High Stakes in State Senate Elections
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — While the presidential race is getting the most attention, a handful of state Senate races could determine whether Iowans get their most conservative state government in years and policy changes that will have a greater impact on their lives.
Republicans have launched an aggressive bid to wrest control of the Senate from Democrats. If Republicans pick up two seats and retain a majority in the House as expected, their party would control both houses of the General Assembly and the governor's office for the first time since 1998. Republicans say they'll push for a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage, a law to require voters to show identification, and cuts for state workers' health care benefits. They are also campaigning on plans to reduce Iowa's commercial and industrial property taxes.

Special Diets for Children with Autism
While mainstream medical practitioners rarely recommend special diets for autism, many parents will hear of the success of such diets through websites, books, friends and conferences. The science around such diets is sketchy, but there are plenty of anecdotal stories of special diets having a profound and positive impact on children with autism.The gluten (wheat) free, casein (dairy) free diet is the most popular of the specialized diets, and there is evidence that the diet is often helpful in lessening autistic symptoms such as impulsive behaviors, lack of focus, and even speech problems. But wheat and dairy are a part of almost everything we serve in the United States -- and keeping a child away from ice cream, pizza, milk, and most snack foods and cereals is no small task.
So, what does it take to start a gluten-free, casein-free (GFCF) diet?
Identifying Gluten and Casein in Your Child's Diet
Removing gluten and casein from a child's diet is not as simple as saying goodbye to milk and bread. According to Carol Ann Brannon, a nutritionist who specializes in diets for children with autism, gluten is not only ubiquitous, but may also find its way into your child's system through the skin:- "Gluten is found in wheat, rye, barley, oats, spelt, and any derivatives of these grains, including, but not limited to malt grain-starches, malt wash, hydrolyzed vegetable/plant proteins, grain vinegar, soy sauce, and natural flavorings. Casein is found in milk and milk products from mammals....Gluten is in even in Play-Doh, adhesive on stamps and stickers, and many hygiene products. Soy, another common food allergen, is in many foods and hand lotions, make-up, etc."
Starting Your Autistic Child on a GFCF Diet
According to Brannon, there are two ways to start a GFCF diet: "dive in head first" or the slower, "get your feet wet" approach.The "dive in head first" parents prefer to go GFCF all at once and decide to place the entire family on the diet. Often, siblings and parents may also experience benefits from the diet. The "get your feet wet" parents opt to go gluten-free first, and then progress to excluding casein-containing foods and beverages.
An increasing number of GF foods are available due to the increase in celiac disease. A parent should select the approach that best suits their personality and their lifestyle. Many parents begin the diet with dread and fear, but soon find it is more manageable than they had imagined. GFCF diet support groups can be a tremendous help to parents. In addition, there are many websites and blogs for parents.
What Can My Child Eat on a GFCF Diet?
In general, says Brannon, "Children can eat a wide variety of meat, chicken, eggs, fruits, and vegetables -– anything that does not contain wheat gluten or casein. It is generally recommended that organic, whole GFCF foods be consumed whenever possible."GFCF advocates caution that even a little bit of wheat or dairy could have a big impact on a child with autism. To avoid accidentally eating the wrong foods, it's important to read labels carefully -- wheat and dairy are often "hidden" ingredients in packaged products. It's also very important to inform teachers, therapists, and other adults in your child's life that he is now wheat and dairy free.

Your evening reading: Perry supporters launching new national group; Stockman invites Obama-mocking rodeo clown to Texas; Senate candidate attacks Davis in new video ad
Full StoryMike Toomey is one of Texas' top lobbyists, a former state lawmaker and served as chief of staff to two Texas governors: Bill Clements and Rick Perry. He is currently a partner in The Texas Lobby Group, an Austin firm.
According to the Texas Ethics Commission, Toomey's clients in 2009 included wireless company AT&T, pharmaceutical giant Merck & Co ...
Your evening reading: Perry supporters launching new national group; Stockman invites Obama-mocking rodeo clown to Texas; Senate candidate attacks Davis in new video ad
Full StoryWealthy donors and companies, most of them from Texas, poured more than $5 million into an independent Super PAC that tried for a few months to help Rick Perry get elected president.
Full StoryWhen Gov. Rick Perry left the presidential campaign trail Thursday, he took his considerable fundraising muscle with him. His departure frees up his federal campaign coffers and the support of the Super PAC that backed Perry.
Full StoryBuried in the Texas Democratic Party's campaign filing this week was a $210,000 deposit with a cryptic heading: "confidential litigation settlement."
Full StorySuper PACs are a dream for the sort of person who likes being a political worker but hates the candidates: it will soon be possible to run a campaign without dealing with an actual contender.
The Trib's Jay Root and Jim Rutenberg of The New York Times take a look at what powerful lobbyist Mike Toomey has done to help Rick Perry as governor — and how he's trying to get him elected president of the United States.
Full StoryBehind every politician there are men and women working in the wings, who can make calls, fix problems, raise money, punish enemies. In Rick Perry's world, one man stands above them all: Mike Toomey.
Full StoryFormer gubernatorial candidate and Tea Party favorite Debra Medina and other activists slammed what they called a culture of crony capitalism in Texas politics at a Capitol press conference on Thursday — taking aim at Gov. Rick Perry.
Full StoryGov. Rick Perry on Monday found himself under attack from an unfamiliar place — the right — in the latest GOP debate as his rivals for the Republican presidential nomination attacked him for being insufficiently conservative on key issues.
Full Story
It's a synergy thing. Super PACs can spend all they want to advance a candidate or cause, with certain limitations and — importantly — without talking to the candidate or the campaign. So here's Make Us Great Again, a new Perry-centric Super PAC releasing a poll of Iowa voters that shows — surprise — the governor doing well there.
Full StoryRick Perry leads the other Republican presidential candidates in Iowa, according to a new poll conducted for a Perry-favored Super PAC.
Full StoryThe governor's former legislative director has a Super PAC to support the run for president, and now there's another such PAC — headed by former Perry chief of staff and legislator Mike Toomey.
Full StoryGov. Rick Perry's former legislative director has a Super PAC to support Perry's run for president, and now there's another such PAC — headed by Perry's former chief of staff, Mike Toomey.
Full StoryGov. Rick Perry wasn't born into wealth and has drawn relatively modest pay as an elected official since 1985, but he's made a small fortune on land transactions — some with the help of rich and politically connected friends.
Full StoryTrial lawyer Steve Mostyn insists the governor and the GOP-led Legislature punished him for donating millions to Democrats by putting his clients — coastal homeowners — in the crosshairs. "It's straight-up vendetta politics," he says.
Full StoryAn early look at the 25 people the magazine deems the most powerful in Texas.
Full StoryLobbyists are required by law to notify their clients if they represent two or more groups with clashing agendas. They are also required to notify the Texas Ethics Commission. Scores of lobbyists have done so in recent legislative sessions. What is not required is for the public or elected representatives to be informed.

Full StoryAdd another layer to the tale of the unlikely reanimation of the Green Party of Texas.
Full StoryIt's impossible to know exactly which elections will be close in November. But with Libertarian candidates in more than a dozen House races that are on the Republican and Democratic target lists, signed up for the two Texas congressional seats on the GOP's national target list, and in the statewide races, too, here's a question: Are the Libertarians giving Texas Democrats a electoral boost?

So, Newt Gingrich might've totally blown his Campaign 2012 wad this week by turning on his own kind. It was a disquieting and unacceptable development for large numbers of GOP backers of the former House speaker, many of whom subsequently withdrew their support. Nothing for the Gingrich camp to do but issue an apology, loaded with animosity about the "literati," which is apparently Newtspeak for members of the liberal media, who "sent out their minions to do their bidding," which, we suppose, means cackled with elitist glee over his misfortune.
And that wasn't the only overblown bit of prose that the Gingrich campaign unleashed on the world in this indignant press release ... thus rendering the literati even more gleeful, if this well-cast dramatic reading by actor John Lithgow on Thursday's "Colbert Report" is any indication. Keep it coming, Newt.
Aside: What are we to do with the information that the Newtster has an ABBA ringtone?

Jeter says he'll be ready for opening day
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Derek Jeter said his fractured left ankle is healing as expected – putting him in line to start at shortstop on opening day. "We have a long way to go before the season starts, but I'll be ready," the Yankees captain told Michael Kay on ESPN Radio on Monday.
Also, Jeter laughed off a recent tabloid photograph that suggested he'd gained weight during his convalescence.
"I guess there's a lot of things you can do with a picture. Evidently, I haven't been staying in shape," Jeter said in disputing that notion.
Jeter will shed his walking boot in a few weeks and begin his usual off-season conditioning program. The captain played for weeks on an injured ankle that gave way during Game 1 of the ALCS.
Wright on
Mets manager Terry Collins spoke briefly to David Wright after the third baseman agreed to an eight-year, $138 million contract that should be formalized by his presence here Wednesday. "I just said congratulations. And thanks for staying."
Collins is hoping to have ace R.A. Dickey for years to come, too. "We're doing our due diligence to make it happen," Collins said. But the Mets will seek trade partners if they fail to extend the NL Cy Young award winner's contract, which expires after the 2013 season.
Regardless of Dickey's status, the Mets are unlikely to rush top pitching prospect Zack Wheeler to Citi Field. Collins likened his situation to Matt Harvey, who was called up shortly after the 2012 All-Star break.
Ruppert inducted
As Yankees owner, Jacob Ruppert bought Babe Ruth from Boston and presided over 10 pennant-winning clubs and seven world champions. Ruppert, who died in 1939, was elected Monday to the Hall of Fame by the Pre-Integration Era Committee.

- Capex-conservative United Microelectronics' (UMC) board approves an additional capex budget of NT$18.18B ($609M) for expanding the foundry's 28nm manufacturing capacity.
- The company said its capacity has reached a capacity of 10K wafers on the size, with plans to expand it gradually in 2014 according to demand.
- Digitimes reports that industry experts see 28nm tech contributing only 1%-2% of UMC's revenue in 2013, but the "proportion is expected to climb substantially in 2014."

Thursday, Dec 122013, 2:58 PM
- TSMC (TSM -1.8%), estimated to have ~50% of the global chip foundry services market, thinks the market's growth will slow to 9% in 2014 from 11% in 2013. At the same time, the company thinks total chip industry growth will increase to 5% from 2013's 4%. Trade association WSTS has forecast 4.4% 2013 growth and 4.1% 2014 growth.
- Foundries have been steadily growing their share of chip industry output for years, as the exorbitant cost of building new fabs leads more and more chipmakers to outsource manufacturing. But with dozens of major chipmakers already fully relying on foundries, the market could be hard-pressed to significantly outpace broader industry growth going forward.

- Chip ETFs: SMH, XSD, PSI, SOXL, USD, SOXS, SSG

Wednesday, Oct 92013, 11:41 AM
- TSMC (TSM -1.2%) reports September sales of NT$55.4B ($1.88B), +0.5% Q/Q and +27.6% Y/Y. That means the chip foundry's Q3 sales totaled NT$162.6B ($5.52B), in-line with a guidance range of NT$161B-NT$164B and slightly above a $5.49B consensus.
- Smaller foundry rival UMC (UMC -2.3%) has September sales of NT$10.85B ($368M), -1.4% M/M but +14.7% Y/Y. Q3 sales amounted to NT$33.4B ($1.13B), above a $1.05B consensus.
- TSMC has been taking share from rivals over the last two years thanks to strong mobile exposure and a lead in ramping 28nm chip production. But the company has begun seeing tougher 28nm price competition lately from Samsung and GlobalFoundries. UMC has also begun ramping 28nm output following delays.
- TSMC plans to begin volume production for its next-gen 20nm process early next year.

Wednesday, May 82013, 11:19 AMUMC (UMC +3.6%) rallies after delivering its Q1 report, and takes bigger rival TSMC (TSM +4%) higher with it. Though EPS of $0.09 missed consensus by $0.03, revenue of NT$27.8B ($931M) beat consensus by NT $1.4B ($47M). More importantly, UMC is guiding for a 12%-14% Q/Q increase in wafer shipments, and for a flat ASP; that suggests revenue should soundly beat a consensus of NT$28.8B. Q1 gross margin was 16.2%, +500 bps Q/Q and +90 bps Y/Y. UMC has trailed TSMC in ramping 28nm chip production. (PR) (slides) |Wednesday, May 82013, 11:19 AM| Comment!
Friday, Mar 82013, 4:44 PMSlightly disappointing Feb. sales figures lead TSMC (TSM -0.8%) and UMC (UMC -1.1%) to close lower. TSMC's sales came in at $1.39B, -13.2% M/M and +21.5% Y/Y. EE Times points out that while a Feb. drop is normal thanks to fewer days and the Chinese New Year, the decline is bigger than the 6.1% TSMC has averaged over the last 10 years. Digitimes recently reported TSMC has limited Q2 order visibility from mobile chip clients (responsible for much of its growth) due to inventory builds. UMC, which has been losing share, reported Feb. sales of $295M, -7.6% M/M and +3.4% Y/Y. (PRs: I, II) |Friday, Mar 82013, 4:44 PM| Comment!
Monday, Feb 182013, 3:52 PMTSMC (TSM) +1.9% and UMC -1.8% in Taipei after UMC warns it might post an NT$1B ($34M) Q1 operating loss due to a "slower than expected" manufacturing ramp for chips using its advanced 28nm process. TSMC began production of 28nm chips back in Q3 '11, and rapidly grew output in 2H12 after struggling with yield issues in 1H. TSMC's process edge over UMC and other foundries is a big reason why it has an outsized share of mobile chip orders, and is expected to continue gaining share in 2013. |Monday, Feb 182013, 3:52 PM| 3 Comments

Thursday, Jan 172013, 2:19 PMIntel's (INTC +1.9%) chip foundry business has reeled in Cisco (CSCO -0.1%) as a customer, sources tell Bloomberg ahead of the chip giant's Q4 report. If true, the deal would easily be the largest thus far for Intel's foundry ops, which are trying to leverage the company's manufacturing process edge to gain ground against the likes of TSM, UMC, and Samsung. Cisco's switches and routers depend heavily on custom ASICs produced by foundries. Piper reported of an Intel-Cisco tie-up in September. |Thursday, Jan 172013, 2:19 PM| 2 Comments
Tuesday, Nov 202012, 9:29 AMTaiwanese foundry UMC has named Po-Wen Yen, formerly the head of its 12-inch (300mm) wafer ops, its new CEO. He replaces Shih-Wen Sun, who is being kicked upstairs to the role of vice chairman. UMC suggests Yen's background will be of value as the company goes through with a big expansion of a 300mm fab. UMC's sales growth has been trailing that of bigger rival TSMC (TSM) for some time, as TSMC grabs a larger share of order for cutting-edge mobile chips. |Tuesday, Nov 202012, 9:29 AM| Comment!
Friday, Nov 92012, 4:42 PMIt pays for chip companies to have good mobile exposure these days. TSMC (TSM +1.4%), the top foundry for Qualcomm, OmniVision, Broadcom, and other mobile chip names, reported its October sales rose 15% M/M and 32% Y/Y to $1.7B, boosted by growing 28nm chip production. Rival UMC, by comparison, only saw 12% Y/Y growth. Credit Suisse now thinks TSMC should be able to hit the high end of its Q4 revenue guidance range thanks to smartphone-related orders. |Friday, Nov 92012, 4:42 PM| Comment!

Thanks to online magazines, encyclopedias, and books, it is now possible to spend your entire waking life (such as it is) cramming for that appearance on Jeopardy. But the Internet has done more than revolutionize the ownership of knowledge by putting entire libraries' worth of useless information at everyone's fingertips: For scholars, it has made access to online resources such as JSTOR (Journal STORage), a repository of digitized articles from academic journals, absolutely indispensable.

This study examines the support, infrastructure, commitment and enrichment activities provided by parents in helping their children to learn science and mathematics in English and the association between parental commitments with parents' socioeconomic status. The sample consisted of 555 parents who were administered the Parent Questionnaire. The findings revealed that 87% of the parents provide materials in terms of books to their children; but less support was given to buy magazines, educational VCDs, computational software, and games. In addition, parents also provided infrastructure, commitment and enrichment activities to their children. The findings also showed that parental commitment is associated with parental sosioeconomic status. These findings suggest that parents are involved in supporting their children in learning mathematics and science In English and also reveal that parents from different socioeconomic background show different levels of commitment.

Violet L. Kreischer, 96, of Decatur, died at 9:50 a.m. Monday in the nursing center at Woodcrest Retirement Community. She was born on March 5, 1915, in Adams County to Welker E. and Nora A. Hoffman Woodruff. She married H. Darrel Kreischer on August 24, 1935, in Covington, Kentucky; he passed away on July 10, 1980. Violet was a homemaker, a member of First United Methodist Church in Decatur, and a former member of the Ladies of the Moose.
Edwin Dale "E.D." Purk, 83, of Van Wert, Ohio, died at 3:50 a.m. Sunday, May 29, 2011, in Van Wert County Hospital at Van Wert. He was born on May 5, 1928, in Allen County, Indiana, to Harley O. and Agnes C. Beauchot Purk. He married Ruth Heath on April 17, 1948 in Dixon, Ohio; she died on August 25, 1990. He worked for International Harvester Corp. in Fort Wayne for more than 33 years, retiring in 1981, and was a longtime member of Local 57 in Fort Wayne.
Dorothy Mae Putman, 85, of Panama City Beach, Florida, passed away on Monday, May 30, 2011, at her home in the arms of loving family members under the direction of Covenant Hospice. She was born on October 4, 1925, in Willshire, Ohio, Blackhawk Township, Mercer County, to William Glenn White and Glendola Fern Case White. She graduated from Pleasant Mills High School in Adams County and was a member of the Methodist faith.
Adams County Sheriff Shane Rekeweg has saved the county $22,110 in telephone charges that were inadvertently double-billed by the CenturyLink firm. At Tuesday's meeting of the county commissioners, Beth Stratman, an account manager at the Warsaw office of CenturyLink, reported that Rekeweg did a fine job of studying the telephone records and discovering that the sheriff's office had been double-billed $1,842.50 per month for 12 months for the 911 emergency telephone system.
For the first time in Decatur's history, two Memorial Day parades were held. On Monday, the traditional parade occurred downtown, and there was also a procession at Woodcrest Retirement Community that included six golf carts, 25 wheelchairs, at least one woman in a wheeled walker, and dozens of United States flags. A number of residents of the nursing home participated.
A new program called Fitness Fridays will begin this Friday in Adams County, launched by the parks and recreation department, Adams Memorial Hospital, St. Mark's United Methodist Church, and North Adams Food Service. Fitness Fridays will be held each Friday through August 19 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at several locations in Decatur. The schedule:
Bellmont's hitters just couldn't get a good figure out Western pitcher Katie Daine as the senior hurler changed speeds and moved the ball around, limiting the Squaws to two hits in a 4-1 regional victory Tuesday night at the BHS field. "I thought we played a really good defensive game. Our hits didn't come through, but all you can think about is how hard you played," said Bellmont senior catcher Dana Kaczmarek, one of three Bellmonters who played their last game Tuesday night.
Several games were played recently in youth league baseball with the Whitko Wildcats and the Decatur Braves splitting a doubleheader while Courtesy Motors easily sped past the Bluffton Parks and Recreation team.
Speaking to more than 200 people at Monday's Memorial Day observance in downtown Decatur, former U.S. Navy lieutenant Cameron Collier, now a lieutenant-commander in the naval reserve, urged greater emphasis on seeking solutions to problems, not just making complaints. He noted that the United States flag "stands for the very ideals we fight for, not the infighting in Washington, D.C. It is a symbol offering direction, not waywardness. It is a banner of hope, the American ideal."
A Decatur man, Andy L. Ivins, 28, received a 15-year prison sentence on Friday in Adams Circuit Court after pleading guilty in April to two counts of dealing in cocaine. Ivins, who served prison time after a 2006 conviction here for possession of cocaine, was given two concurrent 15-year terms by Judge Frederick A. Schurger and was ordered to pay $728 in court costs and to repay local police $458 for the money used to buy cocaine from him.

New Film Documents 2004 Devendra Banhart/Joanna Newsom Tour
By Tom Breihan on March 23, 2009 at 04:55 p.m.
The freak-folk explosion of the mid-00s was the sort of thing that demanded documentation. For one thing, there was the rare sensation that a whole mess of major artists were emerging right around the same time, hanging out and collaborating with one another, not minding if their styles overlapped. And for another, the whole thing was photogenic as all hell: Pretty people frolicking outside, staring thoughtfully through tour van windows for hours on end, smoking pipes, lighting candles.
All that stuff will be on display in The Family Jams, a new documentary by Currituck Co. frontman Kevin Barker. Barker, also a sometime member of Vetiver, brought his camera along when Vetiver toured with Devendra Banhart and Joanna Newsom in the summer of 2004. The movie is made up of footage that Barker shot during that tour. It features performances from all three principals, as well as guests like Antony and the Johnsons and Espers. Judging by this trailer, it looks like a really good movie.
The Sarasota Film Festival will host the first public screenings of The Family Jams on April 2 and 3. -

1 November 2012 A United Nations independent expert today called on the Government and civil society of Belarus to engage in an open dialogue with him to promote and protect human rights in the country.
"I would like to invite the Belarusian authorities, state institutions and civil society to enter into an open dialogue with me on human rights issues confronting the country," said the new Special Rapporteur on Belarus, Miklós Haraszti, who assumed his mandate today.
"In my professional life, I had several opportunities to constructively cooperate with the Government and civil society of Belarus. This experience fills me with hope that the mandate will be used by all stakeholders as a good opportunity to effectively address human rights concerns in Belarus," he said.
Mr. Haraszti noted that as a first step he would request a meeting with the Government to discuss ways to facilitate the fulfilment of his mandate and keep communication channels open with authorities and relevant stakeholders.
"I hope to assist the Government and people of Belarus in improving the human rights situation in the country in line with international human rights norms," Mr. Haraszti added.
Independent experts, or special rapporteurs, are appointed by the Geneva-based UN Human Rights Council to examine and report back on a country situation or a specific human rights theme. The positions are honorary and the experts are not UN staff, nor are they paid for their work.

The relative ease of the gameplay and the downplay of violence makes this an excellent game for kids of all ages - yet it's not completely sucky. A first-rate adventure for everyone.
Narnia stands as a near perfect example of how to make a movie-based videogame the right way. Everything from the combat system and level design to the game's visual presentation just scream quality.
With its solid presentation and polished gameplay, this is definitely a game worth checking out by fans of the film and gamers alike.
Sadly, the game loses its way in the later levels, devolving into overly difficult and repetitive combat. [May 2006, p.48]
It's impossible to deny this title's appeal, with its excellent use of an excellent license, adept implementation of team combos, and picturesque scenery. If you're a hardcore gamer, you'll notice the flaws and lack of depth, but even then, Narnia is still likely to weave a spell on you.
Things start off a little dodgy, but in the end this is a fitting game for a film that has so very much to live up to. [Dec 2005, p.64]
Children might not be too critical of the game's smaller blemishes such as the mind numbing collecting of coins and an often unfair camera that is completely fixed in position.
Those who aren't fans of mindlessly pressing a button to gain another level will be better off with another game this holiday season.
An enjoyable if unremarkable cooperative action-adventure title.
This console and PC trip through the Wardrobe is a mostly run-of-the-mill action adventure that might hold some measure of appeal to fans of the film, but not so much anyone else.
Narnia makes for a decent adventure title on both systems, but it fails to do anything new or astounding. The game is also on the short and easy side, even with some of the unlockable extras.
As the game wears on, the simple pleasures of the gameplay fade, and the incredibly frustrating boss battles mount in aggravation, leaving us with nothing more than another unsatisfying licensed game. [Dec 2005, p.159]
The main problem with the level design, and you've heard me say this about many other games, is that the strictly linear missions want you to complete specific objectives without usually telling you what those objectives are.
While somewhat interesting in parts, most players will be only marginally amused by the effort, while those who grew up on the source material will be more inclined to come away feeling sadly disappointed.
The game looks and plays just fine, and stays true to the theme of the film, but fails to really bring anything new to the experience.
Movie footage is so embedded that it feels like you're not even playing a gmae half the time. [Jan 2006, p.115]
On paper, Narnia could have been so much more, but the predictable and often annoying gameplay mechanics, combined with unpolished presentations and weak sound effects take away from the overall experience.

Deloitte and GEBreathing space in a fast growing group |
In the last several years, outsourcing of financial services has really taken off. Not always successfully, though. Many see the lack of control as a major drawback. While some have slammed on the brakes, General Electric Inspection Technologies (GE IT) is full of praise for their outsourcing with Deloitte. For Global Controller Piet Mulleman, the greater flexibility and improved efficiency are real added value benefits.
Back office for new product line
Three years ago, General Electric obtained the exclusive, worldwide rights to the sale of Agfa industrial X-ray film. Excellent news, although Piet Mulleman recognised immediately how late it was. "You need a flying start for such operations. As of Day 1, you have to send out invoices and process payments. And for that you need a back office − which didn't exist. So, as our company philosophy prescribes, we knocked on the door of the GE back office in Budapest."
Outsourcing core activities
For a number of countries, problems quickly arise in such a situation. So General Electric decided to call on the Financial Resources team of Deloitte Belgium. The assignment: to take care of the accountancy for Belgium, France, Germany and the United Kingdom. "The collaboration with Deloitte ACS was only possible through a change of strategy at GE. Providing back office support was no longer a core activity. Only Italy is still internal. Everything went perfectly from the beginning ... and you don't tinker with a smooth running engine!" Piet Mulleman winks.
Customer/supplier has benefits
Piet Mulleman agreed with the new strategy: "An internal back office doesn't run flawlessly per se. We're one big family at GE - so people are sometimes less quickly inclined to bang on the table when something goes wrong. That's not the case in a customer/supplier relationship. At the slightest problem, Deloitte jumps into action. You also eliminate conflicting priorities with an external partner. In GE, each department has its own parameters, reporting lines, and objectives. Sometimes that can cause conflicts. When balancing accounts had the highest priority for me, the back office in Budapest sometimes gave priority to other jobs. That's understandable - but problematic."
External: larger fishpond
"When you opt for an internal solution, you have to take whoever is available," Piet Mulleman continues. "With an external partner, you're fishing in a much larger pond. And you avoid the rigmarole of the recruitment process." Deloitte ACS often finds the appropriate personnel within a week. Sven Asselbergh, partner at Deloitte, joins in: "You have to understand: we're not an interim office. We don't have a database of thousands of CVs - but we do have a well-screened elite group of a hundred financial specialists. When we propose them to a company, we take the company's culture into account. We don't impose ourselves on anyone - the client has the final say."
Challenging projects stimulate people
It's not easy to find good people. When you do find them, you must take care of them and give them opportunities to develop. "So, our people are not parked here," Sven Asselbergh puts it plainly. "We follow them up continuously and evaluate them twice a year. It's a thorough evaluation: we ask the customers for feedback as well. Usually, these are international companies with a broad perspective on accounting. We find that our people enjoy doing their job. We also stimulate them by having them rotate - while maintaining continuity for the customer."
Flexible and efficient
The contract between General Electric and Deloitte is for an indefinite period of time. It includes clauses through which the customer easily increases or reduces the number of personnel. This way, GE does not build up social liabilities - a significant cost benefit. The outsourcing partnership increases efficiency too. Piet Mulleman illustrates: "This case concerns five countries. In the past, I had to talk to five different managers, each with his own vision. That was time-consuming. Now I have one contact person, who's familiar with GE's practices and quality standards."
Just as much control
Is outsourcing expensive? Piet Mulleman sees little or no difference. "Although it's difficult to quantify, because how do you calculate the cost of control? The people from Deloitte sit close to my office − they're not spread out like before. The language barriers are gone - which improves control." Sven Asselbergh adds: " Outsourcing has a lot of connotations. In the case of GE IT, I prefer to use the term co-sourcing. This implies a close and transparent partnership. This openness is essential, although it entails some risks for the customer: external partners receive access to sensitive business information. So, our people sign a code of ethics, which we monitor diligently. Strict procedures keep the risks to the absolute minimum."
A lot more practical
Every year, a new 'eldorado' for outsourcing appears. Following Hungary and Poland, it seems that the Czech Republic is now the place to be. Which often makes it difficult for recruiters to work. "When a country becomes popular, the salaries go up and the right people become more difficult to find," says Piet Mulleman. "After six months or a year, they're gone, with a new reference on their CV. You can ask yourself: is it still worth the effort? Going abroad also often causes practical problems. Suppose: the VAT inspector pays a visit. How do you get all the documents here in a timely manner? Take it from me: that's a challenge! But then again, outsourcing is a solution for that too."
"Our people can adapt themselves quite easily to other working environments"

Oregon Sheriff Sued Over Unlawful Detention
The American Civil Liberties Union Foundation of Oregon filed a lawsuit today against the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office for unlawfully detaining a Portland resident at the request of federal immigration officers despite a judge's order releasing him on his state charges.
The ACLU's lawsuit claims the Sheriff's detention policy on immigration-related requests violates Oregon law – which prohibits the use of state and local resources to detain people suspected only of violating civil immigration restrictions – and the Oregon Constitution.

A set of test data T for a program P is reliable if it reveals that P contains an error whenever P is incorrect. If a set of tests T is reliable and P produces the correct output for each element of T then P is a correct program. Test data generation strategies are procedures for generating sets of test data. A testing strategy is reliable for a program P if it produces a reliable set of test data for P. It is proved that an effective testing strategy which is reliable for all programs cannot be constructed. A description of the path analysis testing strategy is presented. In the path analysis strategy data are generated which cause different paths in a program to be executed. A method for analyzing the reliability of path testing is introduced. The method is used to characterize certain classes of programs and program errors for which the path analysis strategy is reliable. Examples of published incorrect programs are included.

It's very obvious how much Totti means to this team. With him, I'm convinced that they can play with the best teams in the world. Without him, games like this will keep happening. For the sake of his hometown, I sure hope Totti recovers. Don't get me wrong; Roma has a nice supporting cast, but maybe even moreso than with Gerrard and Liverpool, Totti is the heart and soul of AS Roma (and has been for a decade!) Without him, Vucinic has trouble finishing, and their attack is almost worthless. I think Roma would have won this match at least 2-1 if they had Totti's passing, control, and most of all, superb finishing.
what's happening in AS roma.Their attack looks like toothless without Totti.I think they are not confident enough,that's why they are loosing to a team like liverno,which is in the relegation list.Hope Totti recovers fast from injury to save Roma.
this needs to stop happening. cant believe this loss against livorno. is it me or ranieri hasnt changed much since the spalletian era?

I'm just saying that the PS3 is a better value. You probably won't want all of those things, but that doesn't change the fact that the PS3 is a better value. And even if you just get the premium 360 and pay for Live it will cost more.Originally Posted by vagrant
- Premium 360: $400
- Live: $250
- Total: $650
And don't hate me just because you use an inferior OS.
