As a member of the volunteer board of directors for the Autism Center of Southeast Ohio, Inc. (ACSO), a 501 c (3) nonprofit organization dedicated to assisting autistic children and their families in Washington County, I wish to thank the Marietta Shrine Club for their recent grant to acquire iPads and applications to be used in the four autism classrooms at Ewing School. With the purchase of the units, several nonverbal children are, for their first time, experiencing a way to communicate with other class members, teachers, staff and family members. With several recent articles in the Marietta Times, it has been noted that iPads have opened up a new world for many of these unfortunate children. Here are a few examples of successes being experienced in our community and Ewing classrooms:
A local Washington County 6 year old, nonverbal autistic child, was on the verge of being placed out of the home. It was becoming increasingly difficult for this child's loving and concerned mother to deal with his behavior. A team was formed who reviewed all the issues and concluded that if the child had a way to communicate behaviors may diminish. As a result, an iPad with specialized apps for speaking and learning was used. Within six months of use, the autistic child was making remarkable progress and began to speak. Negative behaviors decreased and academic scores increased.
A Ewing teacher related the following: "I teach at Ewing School in the Autism classroom. I just wanted to write you a note expressing my gratitude to ACSO and the Marietta Shrine Club for the iPads. I have kindergarten and 1st grade students and most of them are nonverbal. We use the iPads daily for communication and for learning. One of my students who is nonverbal picked up an iPad himself and got onto the Apple Time Application. He was completing every single question correctly and we had no idea he even knew how to tell time to the minute. We just thought he knew the hour and half hour times. It was amazing. Thanks again!!!!!"
Ewing occupational therapist told me of "one youngster who was nonverbal and would lay on the floor while the other students in the class would gather to study and learn and he was non-participative. They worked with him for a short time with image cards and then the iPad and now he gathers with his classmates when they circle for learning and he, too, can participate using the unit.
The iPads are being used to promote independence for these students and they will also be helpful in increasing communication skills and decreasing frustration for our students."
Without the generosity of the Marietta Shrine Club, many of these young children may never have known what it's like to be able to communicate with understanding and to have a way for learning and becoming a contributing member of our community. I know I speak for many ACSO supporters when I give a big thanks to this wonderful benefactor, the Marietta Shrine Club. You do a wonderful job.

US Airways Wins on Lower Fuel, but AMR Merger Effort Delayed
Fresh off a first-half 154 percent share price gain, US Airways is forecasting strong second-quarter results, but the airline acknowledges that its efforts to merge with American Airlines could drag on longer than expected.
Meanwhile, the carrier said Thursday that June passenger revenue per available seat mile rose about 6 percent, the same rate of increase as in May. The carrier had been forecasting that June PRASM growth would exceed May PRASM growth. Earlier, Delta Air Lines said its June PRASM grew 8 percent.
US Airways shares were falling Thursday in early morning trading, down 18 cents to $13.03 even though two analysts raised estimates based on lower fuel costs and June results. Dahlman Rose analyst Helane Becker raised her first-quarter earnings estimate to $1.80 a share. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters had been estimating $1.40. For the full-year, Becker raised her forecast to $2.95 a share, in line with consensus.
Meanwhile, Deutsche Bank analyst Mike Linenberg raised his first-quarter estimate to $1.65 a share, his full-year estimate to $3.50 and his 12-month price target to $20.
"While revenue trends are a tad softer than what we were expecting (6 percent PRASM for month of June vs. our 7 percent forecast), the impact is more than fully offset by lower fuel prices," Linenberg wrote.
In particular, US Airways is expected to benefit from being unhedged during a period of declining fuel prices. Its competitors are hedged; Delta has said it will record a $155 million second-quarter loss on its fuel hedges and could face hundreds of millions in additional fuel hedge losses if fuel prices don't rise.
In a July 4 message to employees, CEO Doug Parker praised US Airways' strong first-half operating performance, which included an 87.3 percent on-time rate and a low rate of mishandled bags (2.10 mishandled per 1,000 enplanements) and said second-quarter results will reflect "a strong revenue environment, lower fuel prices, and our outstanding reliability."
Parker also commented on the agreement between American and its creditors to extend the period of exclusivity for American to file its plan of reorganization to Dec. 27 from Sept. 29. The two parties also extended the exclusivity period for American to solicit backing for its plan to Feb. 28 from Nov. 29.
Delay does not appear to benefit US Airways. In general, it has seemed that US Airways would like to get a merger done quickly, and its quick deals with American labor unions provided momentum. But American does not want to merge, at least while it is in bankruptcy protection. Moreover, it appears that American is boosting its financial health while in bankruptcy.
Parker wrote that American is working to negotiate contracts with its labor unions.
"For US Airways, this means a review of alternative strategic plans for American by American and the creditors committee is also likely to be delayed," he said. "That delay is fine by us — there is certainly no urgency for us to merge, so long as we are a given a fair chance to present our superior alternative in time to merge with AMR upon their emergence from bankruptcy.
"Fortunately, thanks to all of you, US Airways is doing a fantastic job on its own," he told employees. "We have a great future ahead of us no matter what happens."

I have a 9 year-old Toto Drake that has worked flawlessly over the years. Starting about a month ago, near the end of the fill a loud "woosh" sound is made. It seems to be coming from the blue part at the left-hand side (is that the fill valve?). Other than this, the toilet if functioning fine.
Any suggestions on what to do to correct this?
Thank you
The blue part is indeed the fill valve.
Start here: http://www.bay*******************/ima...ns-rev06-1.pdf
If you have the Type B valve as shown in the link above, you can service it as shown in the link above, and in the video below.
If you have Type B valve from above, and just cleaning everything doesn't make a difference, try replacing the inside cap with Korky R528. After 9 years, sounds like the rubber diaphram may be wearing out. Look at the link below, and, for example, the rubber in your diaphragm doesn't look nice and flat like the picture but rather scrunched, just replacing the cap for $3.00 might solve the problem. Usually just changing that cap cures a lot of ills.
Here's a picture of the R528 cap and one place to get it: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Korky-Toi...8#.UbVBwvn5m6g
Regardless of which valve you have (Type A or Type B), if you want to replace the whole valve, get a Korky 528MP valve at Lowe's. Easy to install. For your Drake, you either need the 528T "Fits Toto" valve, which has a blue top, or the 528MP "MaxPerformance" valve, which has a silver top. You can't use the plain-vanilla white-top 528 because it only has a 20-percent refill ratio (the percentage of water coming through the valve that is put down the overflow tube to refill the bowl), which is the old standard. Your Toto Drake has a 40% refill ratio, which the 528T is fixed at and which is the upper end of the 528MP (which has an adjustable ratio, so you just run it all the way open). Even though the 528MP has more bells and whistles, it is more widely-available and is often available a little cheaper than the 528T. Your local ACE or other hardware store probably has both the 528T and the 528MP. If you go to a plumbing supply store, you can also get the Toto TSU99A.X universal replacement fill valve, which is basically a 528MP with some more bells and whistles. But it's probably not worth the extra money to get that one.
528MP at Lowes: http://www.lowes.com/pd_336988-868-5...rky&facetInfo=

State Sen. Jack Corman, who represents a portion of our region, is sponsoring an addendum to a new law to increase maximum fines for underage drinking.
The new law, scheduled to take effect tomorrow, increases fines from $300 to $500 and will double the maximum $1,000 for subsequent offenses.
Corman plans to resubmit the bill to allow municipalities to include all or part of a university or college to impose an additional $100 fee for alcohol-related offenses to help finance local prevention programs.
Those fine amounts hurt. And they should.
Underage drinking is a big problem and Corman's addendum would attack the area where it is the biggest problem college towns.
A little pain is perhaps the only way to reverse the trend.

Reportedly born on September 18, 1933, in Nutley, New Jersey, Robert Blake starred as Mickey in the Our Gang series of shorts before working in TV and film as a teen and adult. He starred in more than 70 films throughout the 1940s and '50s, earning critical acclaim for his starring role in 1967's In Cold Blood, and later garnered an Emmy for his role in the '70s gritty cop drama Baretta. Blake's media exposure waned until 2002, when he was accused of murdering his second wife,
"When I got to the sidewalk and started dancing, that's when I found love. People threw money. When you're 2 years old you don't have to do much to be cute, but I was talented."
"I'm a human being, I'm not a machine. I'm 72. I'm dyslexic."
Bonnie Lee Bakley. He was later acquitted, though he was found liable for her death in a civil trial.
Early Life
Robert Blake was born Michael Gubitosi on September 18, 1933, in Nutley, New Jersey according to some accounts (in a 2011 interview, he stated that he is unsure of his exact date of birth, believing it fell sometime in September or October.)
Blake's parents were vaudeville performers, and he spent his childhood performing with his family's vaudeville act. During his childhood, Blake moved with his family to Hollywood, California, where he worked as an extra for the MGM studios. By the age of 6, he had a starring role in the Our Gang series of shorts (also known as The Little Rascals), including Dad for a Day, released in 1939, and Alfalfa's Double, released in 1940. He starred as Mickey in the series, eventually having his acting name changed to Bobby Blake. Also in 1940, Blake had a bit part in the romantic comedy I Love You Again, starring Myrna Loy and William Powell.
Blake experienced a painful time growing up, reportedly suffering physical abuse from his father, and being introduced to liquor and cigarettes at a very young age.
Lead Film Roles and 'Baretta'
During his teen years, Blake landed a lead part in the drama Mokey (1942), parts in the comedy fantasy film The Horn Blows at Midnight (1945) and Humoresque (1946), an uncredited but pivotal role in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948), and a starring role in the Red Ryder Western series. By the mid-1950s, he had turned to dramatic fare, with TV work and small parts in films like Apache War Smoke (1952), Screaming Eagles (1956), The Rack (1956), The Tijuana Story (1957), Three Violent People (1957), Battle Flame (1959) and The Purple Gang (1960).
During the 1960s, Blake landed more noticeable roles, including those in the World War II adventure PT 109 (1963) and the mammoth religious epic The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965), and supporting roles in the biblical epic The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965) and the romantic drama This Property Is Condemned (1966). Also around this time, he worked on the TV anthology The Richard Boone Show. In 1967, Blake starred in the popular murder drama In Cold Blood, a film based on the Truman Capote book of the same name. Blake received critical acclaim for his portrayal of homicidal drifter Perry Smith in the film.
More prominent roles followed in several films, including Tell Them Willlie Boy Is Here (1969) and Electra Glide in Blue (1973), before Blake turned once again to TV. In 1975, Blake was cast in the role for which he is best remembered: that of the title character on the TV police drama Baretta, which enjoyed three years on the air.

We lived there full time for a year and half. The staff were very accommodating, and helpful. The park was always nice and clean. Spaces were large and roomy. Everything was always in working order. Everybody was nice and friendly ,If you needed help or information, it was always available. We would definitely stay there again Full Time or just as a overnighter. Thank You for making our 1st RV experience a good one.

Toshiba NB550D review
The Toshiba NB550D isn't exactly beautiful, but its dual-core AMD processor delivers great performance for a netbook. Add in beefy speakers from Harman Kardon and a good keyboard, and you've got a well-rounded netbook. Read more

Samsung WB700 review
The "travel zoom" market - meaning pocket compacts with extended lens reaches beyond, let's now say, 8x or more - has really taken off in recent years, with Panasonic's all-conquering Lumix TZ series, and recent TZ20 iteration, leading the pack. However...
Canon PowerShot SX150 IS pictures and hands-on
Canon's PowerShot range offers up some surprising models, from the S95 and G12 at the top end, down to larger, more affordable models at the bottom. In the "travel zoom" section you'll find the great SX220 HS and a cheaper alternative, the SX150...

Death Rally
Third party DRM: Steam
This game requires a free Steam account to play.Description
Death Rally is a top-down racing game with the objective to win races, gather more money, buy upgrades to your vehicle. And all this while wrecking your opponents, shooting your way through bystanders and keep the pedal to the metal!
Gun the engine and load your guns – the classic is back! Remedy's very first game is now bigger, stronger and more vicious than ever. Make a run for the finish line with a trail of burnt rubber and spent brass behind you... along with the flaming wreckage of any fool dumb enough to get in your way.
This is not a Sunday drive. This is DEATH RALLY.
Key Features:
Massive single player career mode, unlock and upgrade cars, weapons and challenges
Enormous online multiplayer campaign ROAD WARS! Friends play, battle modifiers, unique paint jobs, and a whole lot more!
Awesome controls with 2 camera angle options
Featuring guest drivers – Duke Nukem, Barry Wheeler, John Gore!
Customer reviews
A great game that recalls better times!
kowen | July 16, 2013 | See all kowen's reviews »Certainly, Death Rally fans will not be disappointed, (except for not being able to choose Duke Nukem character). For those unfamiliar with the series, this game is like "Micromachines", but more brutal. The good thing is that it has improved a lot over the old game, more weapons, more modes, but without losing the essence of the original 1996 game. The only downside is that everything is "upgrades", whereas in the original you could just buy things (cars, weapons, sabotage ...) while in this game you have to unlock achievements or improving absolutely everything (car, guns, objects ...), which turns the game into something repetitive ... but I like it anyway. Definitely a great remake (and multiplayer), I don't understand how he could have so little acceptance by the community. I love this game!
A dissapointment
Forceflow | June 6, 2013 | See all Forceflow's reviews »Bought this game because I really liked Renegade Ops, but this is a bit of a different beast. I expected more from Remedy.
You're basicly racing around a circular track, and the one thing that immediately struck me was: these cars don't go very fast. You really don't have any sense of speed, even when using the nitro boost. Also, the default gun auto-fires, taking away the fun from combat from you. Combat mode also is just spinning around in circles trying to get a hit on your opponent, but not in a fun way.
In the graphics department, it's okay. Nothing too special there. The music was pretty good, uplifting rock, but got repeated waaay too often.
I'd recommmend you only buy this if it's at a bargain price. I bought it, played it for one hour, then removed it again. Just not having fun.
Racing with guns
megfosnot | June 4, 2013 | See all megfosnot's reviews »Take a basic racing game and add guns.. does that make it better? Sometimes, but at other times it just feels like you are playing to earn upgrades, so that you get more cash for more upgrades - vicious cycle! The game looks great and runs great on most PCs (it's a nice re-make of a classic). Played from the same basic isometric camera angle, you can see lots of action while racing. This game is about racing the same tracks over and over to get upgrades - so if your looking for tons of varied tracks - look elsewhere.
Nice game
israel_hlc | March 1, 2013 | See all israel_hlc's reviews »I gave this game a try when it was in a free weekend. I have to admit that it was harder to stop playing it than I expected.
The gameplay is very nice, with top-down view and the choice of winning races by speed, by blowing up your enemies or both of them. You earn money from the races and so you can buy new cars and upgrades for the cars you already own. As the races are short, you always feel like playing one more match, and so the game becomes very addictive.
The negative point is the multiplayer. The idea is great, where you could compete against other human players instead of the AI during the campaign. The problem is that the matchmaking is completely dull. During the free weekend (where supposedly there were more people playing) I could find an opponent in only a few times, but as the game kept trying to find more opponents to fill the race, the match delayed too much to begin and the opponents gave up on waiting. The game is worth a try. It's a short game (I got it 99% complete with a few hours), but it is also a relatively cheap game, so in my opinion it is well priced.
Fun and addictive game
jpbuntinx | Jan. 27, 2013 | See all jpbuntinx's reviews »I've recently purchased Death Rally and at first i thought "this'll be an ok game, based on the Death race franchise". But before i knew it, i've already played over 6 hours in 3 days, and i'm absolutely loving the game. Graphics are good, the combat is fun and intense, the music is awesome. ONly small downside : the multiplayer. If you don't have any Steam friends playing it online, good luck finding someone to race against.

who's your fav? the first rule: is never talk about fight club the second rule: is you have to have been alive during the Pres term to vote for him. I went way back to FDR just in case there are some really old people on here.

"I think that people are responding to someone standing up and saying this is what we want to do and let's not be afraid to go for it,'' Pollard said. "I think Iowa State has a very conservative, modest background. We never pound our chest and say `Let's do it.' It's OK to set a goal. You can't do it if you don't say what you want to do. You should be proud of it.'' Jamie Pollard, 6/2/2006
Reagan, however, I am a history/government junkie and given the choice Ike would be my guy.
I like Reagan. Dont know why, but he seemed like a cool guy.
I'll go with Bill, just b/c of the awkwardness he caused for so many teachers and parents around the world...one man defined the meaning of sexual relations. Plus his VP invented the internet.

The class went crazy and the teacher was just stunned.

Designer: Donatella Versace
Founded: 1978, Milan
Owned By: Private
History: Gianni Versace launched his men's collection in 1978, and his brand subsequently grabbed a massive market share with its expansions into fragrance, accessories, home, and, more recently, luxury hotels and resorts—but it was the hedonistic, almost operatic clothes that made Versace a household name. After Gianni's murder in Miami Beach in 1997, his sister Donatella took over. Her recent hiring of ex-Cloak designer Alexandre Plokhov has amped up the label's style quotient—and scaled back its occasional excess.

Red Holloway
Red Holloway
An exuberant player with attractive tones on both tenor and alto, Red Holloway was also a humorous blues singer. Whether it be bop, blues, or R&B, Holloway held his own with anyone. Holloway played in Chicago with Gene Wright's big band (1943-1946), served in the Army, and then played with Roosevelt Sykes (1948) and Nat Towles (1949-1950), before leading his own quartet (1952-1961) during an era when he also recorded with many blues and R&B acts. Holloway rose to fame in 1963 while touring with Jack McDuff, making his first dates as a leader for Prestige (1963-1965). Although he cut many records in R&B settings, Red Holloway was a strong bop soloist at heart, as he proved in the '70s when he battled Sonny Stitt to a tie on their recorded collaboration. He went on to work mostly as a leader, but also guested with Juggernaut and the Cheathams, and played with Clark Terry on an occasional basis. He continued being active as a player into the 21st century, releasing Standing Room Only on Chiaroscuro Records in 2000; Keep That Groove Going, with Plas Johnson, on Milestone Records in 2001; Coast to Coast, also on Milestone Records, in 2003; and Go Red Go! in 2009 on Delmark Records. Holloway died on February 25, 2012 of kidney failure and stroke. He was 84 years old. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi

The power of consumers as helpers is in their potential to act as ambassadors of recovery. In Dana Woolfolk's story we witness this power in action. A friend and former consumer reached out to Dana while he was on the streets, helping him to move toward recovery. Dana reminds providers that the invitation to change is not enough. Support makes the impossible possible. Today, Dana is a Clinical Recovery Coach and a member of the HRC Advisory Steering Committee.
When I reached the end of the road, I was hopeless and helpless. I was resigned to the fact that this was how my life would be, living on the streets and just getting by day-to-day, hour-to-hour and minute-to-minute. Sometimes I spoke to outreach workers, police officers or kind strangers, but nothing they said made me think that things would ever be different.
Sure, there where times when I had a moment of clarity and tried to get into a detox or treatment program, but I always heard the same thing: "Sorry, we're full. We can put you on a waiting list but it's running an average of two to four weeks before space becomes available." I don't know anyone like me - with over twenty-five years of active addiction - who could wait this long to get started with treatment.
What finally did help was when I ran into an old buddy from the streets. He was clean, had nice clothes, jewelry and a car. He told me that he had been off the streets for several years. Then he took the time to tell me how to get the help I so desperately needed, and how to use that help as a steppingstone to independence. Now I told myself, "Hell, you may as well give it a try—you've got nothing to lose." A former neighbor gave me a ride to detox, and this time they had a bed!
Now, mind you, I had no intention of stopping drugs and alcohol. I just needed to clean up a bit so that I could get a job, save some money for a room, and then I would use more responsibly than I had in the past. Who would have thought that attending all of those boring twelve-step meetings every day would make a believer out of me? I knew that I wouldn't be able to keep using. I heard so many people in the meetings talk about how hey had tried to do the same thing and failed over and over again.
When the detox was complete, I decided to ask for further treatment and was sent to 90-day residential program. The program required you to find a job after the first 30 days. I was able to work without supports because without the substances in my body, the mood disorder began to clear up.
Today, it's ten years later. I'm married, I own a home, and I am employed as a Clinical Recovery Coach at a community mental health center. To anyone trying to get his or her life back, I would say, "Don't give up—there's a miracle just around the next corner." To providers, I say, "Always remember that as long as there's life, there's hope." Sometimes we need you to have hope for our recovery until we are able to have this hope for ourselves.

In the community where I reside as a homeless female we are enabled into poverty and homelessness by corruption and greed. Those of us who have no addiction or mental health problems are the last to be afforded housing and humanitarian effort. .Especially singles. If we think of a life boat, wouldn't it be more sensable to offer those who are capable of self support the needs of humanity thereby putting those persons in a position to assist those less fortunate with some supervision? This community is a typical example of the theories in the book titled "House of Gentlemen." Women are expected to forgive and repent for their abusers, even live with them, share with them. Should I become an addict so I can have a roof over my head, or should I have a roof over my head so I can provide for myself, be productive in this community and thereby providing for others less fortunate?
What would you think if you had to plan at 5PM where you can sleep so you could use a restroom within a half an hour upon awakening? Imagine, waking up in the morning and the first and best that you do for your body is urinate and eat and there is no place to do that? Who's child am I training? Do I care?

If you've ever started your day with Rick and Bubba, you know the unmistakable drawl of those two crazy Alabama boys. What you may not know is that they almost weren't "Rick and Bubba."

hey there mate! glad to see your new sketches, you have such a good feeling to your silhouettes.

You sir, are awesome. Inspiring...and awesome. Thank you for being AWESOME!
haha, okay, but seriously, I really admire the skill you have in creating personality in your characters...quite beautiful...just love the characters. Kind of...reeaaally dark on the recent ones, haha. I understand it's for an effect, and I love them for it, but they could stand to be lightened some I think, just so we can see better. :3 Anyways... Keep it going, please!
Carg0re - Thanks mate! I have a special custom brush I made myself for that one, really makes silhouette sketching a breeze! I could probably send it to ya, if you want it ^^
Mcunha98- thank you! =)
Crazy3dMan- Thanks dude! Drawing is the easy part. Thinking, now that´s entirely different. When some basic techniques have been learned, drawing becomes more about the mental state of the drawer. That´s how I see it anyways...
Sketcheth - Thank you very much! You make me feel like kung fu panda (there´s no charge for awesomeness ;P). I don´t deserve it. And yeah, I should fiddel more with the contrast. I blame my monitor!! No, but seriously, I´m sometimes far too subtle, and sometimes too explicit in my contrasts. Hard to find the balance...
And a big feeling of suck just struck me. It´s lovely and horrible at the same time. Meet Rimlight Mcduff.... *sigh.
Hay man, Horay for Updates!
Was really inspired the other day after looking though here, and some silhouettes, completely ripped off your technique, hope you dont mind.
You should definitely finish the two silhouettes from post #430. So awesome.
If you're sending that brush around, I'd love to have it ;D

O.co Coliseum, Oakland, California
OAKLAND, Calif. -- Bartolo Colon's velocity was up but so was his fastball.
After four months of dominant outings and even talk of a possible run at another Cy Young Award, the 40-year-old Colon has looked extremely average in his last two outings.
Even the Houston Astros are knocking Oakland's All-Star right-hander around at this point.
Colon, who had defeated Houston three times already this season, gave up five runs and seven hits in four innings of the Athletics' 5-4 loss to the Astros on Tuesday night.
"The guy has been really good for us this year and he's had a couple of starts where the velocity hasn't been as good, but it looked like it was up a little bit today," Oakland manager Bob Melvin said. "It looked like the pitches that he made in the middle of the plate, they hit."
Colon, who has already logged more innings than he did in all of 2012, walked one with three strikeouts. He has allowed 10 earned runs over his last two outings while his ERA has risen from 2.50 to 2.97.
Yet after the game the burly pitcher insisted he's fine, though he acknowledged he's been "very bad" over his last two starts.
"I felt better than the last outing, but I feel bad at the same time because my command wasn't the best tonight," Colon said. "After having 15 good outings, I don't think too much about it. Now is the bad moment."
Jordan Lyles pitched seven innings for his first win in nearly two months, while Brandon Barnes doubled twice and drove in two runs as the Astros snapped a six-game losing streak.
Yoenis Cespedes singled, doubled and homered for Oakland, which nearly won the game on Chris Young's long foul ball that was reviewed, but missed a chance to move percentage points ahead of Texas in the AL West.
With a runner on first base in the ninth, Young hit an 0-1 pitch from Chia-Jen Lo down the left-field line. The ball curved just outside the foul pole and third base umpire Doug Eddings immediately ruled it foul.
After Melvin came out to argue the call, the four umpires went underneath the stands to review the play before confirming the original ruling. Young struck out on the next pitch to end the game.
"I thought it was going to stay true," Young said. "From my point of view, I thought it was fair."
Juan Castro singled in the fifth to extend his hitting streak to a career-high 11 games, scored a run and added a sacrifice fly for Houston. Matt Dominguez added two hits, including one of four doubles off Colon, who lost in his second bid to become the first pitcher in major league history to win 15 games in a season with four American League teams.
The Astros had dropped 11 of the first 12 games this season between the division rivals before knocking Colon (14-5) out of the game early and holding off a late rally.
"Jordan pitched a great game and the offense did just enough to win the game," Houston manager Bo Porter said. "It's a big boost for the club and a big boost for the bullpen to get some big outs."
Lyles (5-6) sailed through his first career appearance against the A's. He gave up five hits, allowed only one runner past second base and got Oakland to ground into two double plays.
That ended an eight-start winless stretch for the Houston right-hander, who had been 0-5 since his last victory on June 18.
Houston's bullpen made Lyles sweat it out.
Josh Reddick singled in Jed Lowrie in the eighth and Cespedes followed with a two-out, two-run home run off Josh Zeid to pull the A's within 5-4. After Kevin Chapman replaced Zeid and hit pinch-hitter Nate Freiman, Lo got Josh Donaldson to fly out to center.
Lo recorded the final four outs for his first career save.
The loss prevented Oakland from moving back into first place in the West after Texas lost to Milwaukee. The Rangers moved in front of the A's over the weekend while sweeping a four-game series from the Astros.
"That's how the game goes sometimes," Young said. "It goes from extremely crappy to amazing to unbelievable to crappy again. A full process, all in a 3 1/2-hour period today."
Barnes got into a lengthy battle with Colon in the second before doubling in Castro and Dominguez to put the Astros up 2-0.
After Castro and former A's first baseman Chris Carter drove in runs in the third, Barnes doubled again leading off the fourth and scored on a double play to make it 5-0.
The A's scored their first run in the fifth when Donaldson tripled and scored on a double play.
Game notes
Eight of Houston's nine starters had at least one hit. ... Castro returned to the Astros lineup after sitting out two games with a hip injury. ... CF Coco Crisp was held out of the A's lineup with a sore left wrist he hurt diving for a catch on Sunday. He pinch ran in the eighth. ... Injured Oakland C John Jaso flew to Pittsburgh to see a specialist regarding his concussion. Jaso has been on the disabled list since July 25. ... A's LHP Brett Anderson (ankle) pitched one simulated inning before the game and will pitch two innings of relief for Triple-A Sacramento (PCL) on Saturday.

Foote Creek Stables has spent $3,000 caring for horses that a man who rented space at the stable is accused of starving.
Two of the nine race horses the man was in charge of starved to death, authorities said.
The man being investigated is an independent horse trainer and rented an outdoor pen at the stable, said Jennifer Bjorgaard, who with her husband, Roger, owns Foote Creek Stables just southwest of Aberdeen. The trainer was not an employee of the stable, said Terry Evans, a deputy with the Brown County
See Horses, 11A
From 1A
Sheriff's Office.
Bjorgaard said Foote Creek has been caring for the horses since the incident was reported Nov. 9 and has spent about $3,000 for feed, bedding and veterinarian bills. She said the stable might not get reimbursed for those expenses. She's not sure how much longer the stable will have to care for the horses. Six of the seven surviving horses remain at the stable after the owner of one horse retrieved his animal.
Evans said the investigation is largely complete and that the Brown County State's Attorney's Office, which will decide whether criminal charges will be filed against the man, has the bulk of the information. A local veterinarian and a veterinarian from the South Dakota Animal Industry Board are involved in the investigation, Evans said.
Foote Creek Stables offers two types of services - full-care and self-care. Under the self-care option, a person rents space at the stable and cares for the horses on his or her own, Evans said. The man being investigated paid for self-care services at the stable, Evans said. Foote Creek runs a reputable business, he said.
The sheriff's office responded to a report of a dead horse at the stable on Nov. 9. A couple of days later, a second horse died, Evans said.
In all, the man being investigated had been hired to care for nine horses. The surviving horses were impounded because they weren't receiving proper care, according to the sheriff's office.
Bjorgaard said the man was feeding the horses low-quality hay that didn't provide proper nutrition and that the animals' health deteriorated quickly.
Other trainers rent space at the stable, she said, and she doesn't want them to get a bad reputation because of the alleged actions of one person. She said somebody at the stable reported the matter to the sheriff's office.

Election Results
Voters went to the polls across Michigan yesterday to decide a variety of issues, from school millages, to funding for public safety, transportation, and libraries.
- In Flint, voters renewed a millage that pays for more than a dozen police officers. Flint has struggled with a rising violent crime rate for the past few years. City police have investigated about ninety homicides in the last sixteen months, Steve Carmody reports. But, as Carmody notes, "Flint voters narrowly rejected a millage request that would have reopened the city jail. Budget problems have meant the jail has only been used sporadically since the late 1980's."
- Lansing city residents voted no on a millage that would have kept public safety services from facing deep cuts. The millage would have increased city residents' property taxes about four percent to raise about $8.5 million over five years, Sarah Alvarez reports. Lansing faces a $20 million dollar budget shortfall next year.
- Voters in Washtenaw County passed a special education millage renewal in yesterday's election. That means local school districts and charter schools in the county will receive about $14 million dollars for special education services. According to unofficial election results released by Washtenaw County, 76% of voters approved the millage renewal.
- Supporters of a millage to fund and expand bus services in the Grand Rapids metro area celebrated a narrow victory last night, Lindsey Smith reports. More than 34,000 people cast ballots and the millage passed by just 136 votes. The bus system, known as The Rapid, will now be able to serve riders later at night, on the weekends, and more frequently during the workday.
- Jackson voters decided not merge their city police and fire departments. The proposal to create a single public safety department lost by a wide margin.

Gregg Marshall—most recently---on the Dan Patrick Show
Fighting the perception---
I would rather fight for respect at the Final Four than the CBI, but the fight continues for Wichita State. Head Coach Gregg Marshall handled a, sometimes, pointed interview with Dan Patrick flawlessly yesterday. The top Shock refused to rise to the bait when a reporter's remarks-- claiming that he wasn't liked in the coaching profession-- were played for him. He went on to deal with the inevitable, now clichéd, Cinderella tag just as George Mason, VCU and Butler had before him. It's a tidy little description that sounds better than be called an 'over achiever' or 'you just got hot' or 'lucky'. These are the natural fall backs for the uninitiated, those who, generally, only see basketball played at the BCS level. Respect is an uphill battle for a program like Wichita State, but the hill can be climbed. Consistency is the key-- Butler and VCU continue to have places at the national table and Gonzaga has long since answered any questions. I don't think there are any lingering doubts from Pittsburgh, Gonzaga or Ohio State. Of course a win or two in Atlanta takes care of any doubts some may still have.
Back to hoops—
The Shockers went through their last media rounds until Friday yesterday, giving them two days of uninterrupted preparation--although, I'm not sure getting on a flight to the Final Four counts as going uninterrupted. The Shockers have handled everything along the tournament road in a very balanced fashion, mixing excitement with calmness. They've kept a very even-keeled approach, never allowing what they were accomplishing to become a distraction. If any team has kept it 'one game at a time' this is the one. Of course, they've played well and that makes the biggest difference of all. Sometimes, no matter how well you're handling things or playing you run into a better team and it all goes for naught. That hasn't happened to WSU…yet.
Pac 12 mess---
There's nothing like giving conspiracy theorist fuel for their fire. Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott is dismissing, as a joke, offers of rewards made by conference Head of Officials Ed Rush for calling a technical on or running Arizona Coach Sean Miller out of the game during the Pacific 12 Tournament. The offer was talked about not once, but twice in official's meetings, just before Miller was called for his first technical of the season in a two point loss to UCLA. The technical, which was dubious at best, cost Miller a $25,000 fine and perhaps some seeding in the NCAA's. I don't know how the Pac 12 can possibly let Rush continue in his role –how does any close call for or against Arizona play out in the future? An official has nothing if they don't have credibility that comes with the perception of fairness. Rush plays right into the seemingly delusional fan bases who are sure that particular officials are out to get them. Normally the contention sounds silly, but this kind of stuff gives credence to the paranoia. If this was all a joke, it should be on Rush as he's shown the door.
Glad there's a distraction?
Wichita State lost to Arizona State 4-3 last night in a cold, if very competitive, game at Eck Stadium. The loss drops the Shockers to 16-13, their worst ever record after 29 games. What's worse is that WSU has taken any chance for an at large berth in the NCAA off the table. You could make the argument that the Shocks don't have a single signature win so far this season. It's not to say that they won't get a few, they nearly did it last night. But it's looking more and more like this team will have to win the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament in Normal at the end of May to advance to post season. That just doesn't happen at Wichita State, although this would be the fourth straight year without a trip to the NCAA, so maybe that's become the norm.

Two troopers at Kentucky State Police Post 4 in Elizabethtown, including the post's 2012 Trooper of the Year, have been fired after an investigation into an alleged relationship with a teenage girl.
Jerry Clanton and Stratford Young were terminated Friday, said Sgt. Rick Saint-Blancard, a spokesman for KSP headquarters in Frankfort.
Blancard declined further comment, he said, because of possible criminal charges that could be filed against the two men as well as the possibility one or both could appeal their termination.

Dubh Linn Gate Irish Pub & Patio - A true Irish dining experience, this pub was originally built in Ireland and transported, piece by piece, to Whistler. Set in the Pan Pacific Whistler Mountainside, it delivers scenic mountain views from its newly renovated, heated, outdoor patio that accommodates 90 people. Authentic Irish food and a wide selection of imported beers highlight the menu.
Serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily (children's menu included), the pub provides a calm and casual environment that's welcoming to families. Live, traditional Irish music plays every day, even throughout the winter season.
Room Service - Available from 8 AM until 10 PM daily (hours subject to change).
