On June 29, the Mets played the Dodgers in Los Angeles. R.A. Dickey was pitching, and I turned the game on, half-listening because I was working at the same time. Vin Scully read through the Dodgers' lineup, and then he started introducing Dickey. Here's what he said:
Here is R.A. Dickey. Robert Allen Dickey out of Nashville, Tennessee. Went to the university. Was the #1 pick by the Rangers way back in 1996. Quite a lengthy article about him, Jim Peltz wrote it in the Times. And the best way to describe Dickey is to quote him. What kind of a man are you? And he said, "Father. Husband. Christian. Pitcher. Author. Adventurer. Star Wars nerd. Reader. Ninja in training. And cyclist."
And knuckleball pitcher, and the first one is outside to Dee Gordon, ball one."'
It was poetry. All Scully was doing was reading the words of another man, as printed in a newspaper. But it was poetry. I rewound it and listened to it six times. It might be obvious to think the "Star Wars nerd" was the best part, but that's probably the thing that first made me stop what I was doing.
I knew that Scully was quite probably the greatest baseball broadcaster to ever live before he introduced Dickey. Nothing he did during that half-inning changed my mind. That's when I realized Vin Scully can do anything. He's distilled magic, a gift from someone who is looking out for us.
And it's a shame that we get that voice only three hours a day, about 100 games a year. I don't have a lot of money, but I would pay extra to hear more Vin Scully in my life. Sometimes it would be a direct payment to a company using his voice, or other times it could just go into a central fund that pays Scully to lend his voice to things he might not otherwise do.
With that in mind, here are a brief and partial list of suggestions. Your job is to read them with Scully's voice in your head.
GPS Directions
The voice on the GPS included with my phone is obnoxious enough that I choose not to use it. I would rather get lost. But a Vin Scully GPS would be tremendous.
About 50 feet up, on your right-hand side, you'll see Gough St. Now, Gough is named for John Bartholomew Gough, a famous orator of the 19th century. The subject that made him famous, however, was temperance and anti-alcohol crusading. Which makes it especially ironic to know that Gough St. is now home to scores of bars … take a left here on Franklin … of all different varieties and themes, including "Smuggler's Cove", a tiki bar with a pirate theme.
I don't drive nearly as much as I used to, so I'm out of the audiobook game. Scully would get me right back into it, though. Say, A Clockwork Orange ...
"What's it going to be then, eh?"
There was me, that is Alex, and my three droogs, that is Pete, Georgie, and Dim, Dim being really dim … and we sat in the Korova Milkbar making up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening … a flip dark chill winter bastard though dry.
Or Naked Lunch ...
I can feel the heat closing in, feel them out there making their moves, setting up their devil doll stool pigeons, crooning over my spoon and dropper I throw away at Washington Square Station, vault a turnstile and two flights down the iron stairs, catch an uptown A train … Young, good looking, crew cut, Ivy League, advertising exec type fruit holds the door back for me. I am evidently his idea of a character. You know the type comes on with bartenders and cab drivers, talking about right hooks and the Dodgers ...
Or -- and I can't express just how much I would pay for this -- anything from Cormac McCarthy.
See the child. He is pale and thin, he wears a thin and ragged linen shirt. He stokes the scullery fire. Outside lie dark turned fields with rags of snow and darker woods beyond that harbor yet a few last wolves. His folk are known for hewers of wood and drawers of water but in truth his father has become a schoolmaster.
None of those opening passages have been altered at all. Now how much would you pay for the Blood Meridian one? I'd start with $100, but you could bleed me dry if it came down to it.
Airport announcements
I don't listen to them. You don't either. But of course we all would if Scully were doing them.
Now boarding at Gate A5 for Qantas, flight 108, Los Angeles to Sydney. Please make sure you have your luggage, and do not leave any bags unattended. Thank you for flying Qantas.
Now, the name "Qantas" might seem odd for not including the "u" after the "q." It isn't breaking the rules of the English language, however, as it is really an acronym. The name "Qantas" stands for "Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services." If you wonder why they didn't adopt the "u" from "Queensland", well, that would be a question for the founders, Paul McGinness, Fergus McMaster, and Hudson Fysh. Now, Fysh was a lieutenant in the Australian Light Horse Brigade …
Movie voiceovers
Now this is a stretch, as I don't want them to remake 2001: A Space Odyssey. By the last scene, when Bradley Cooper is talking with Joouros, the robot partner he met at the academy, you would forget all about the brilliant performance by Scully as HAL 9000.
But it would be a brilliant performance. Don't you worry.
I'm afraid. I'm afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it. My mind is going. There is no question about it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I'm afraid. Good afternoon, gentlemen. I am a HAL 9000 computer. I became operational at the H.A.L. plant in Urbana, Illinois on the 12th of January 1992. My instructor was Mr. Langley, and he taught me to sing a song. If you'd like to hear it I can sing it for you.
It's called "Daisy Bell," and it was composed by Harry Dacre in 1892. Now, it was made popular by Katie Lawrence in '92, but that popularity was mostly confined to song halls. The surviving wax cylinder of "Daisy Bell" was sung by Edward M. Favor, with Thomas Edison himself said to do the recording. Now …
Guest starring on popular albums
This was just an excuse to leave this here:
Anything. Let me know what I have to do to make any of this a reality. I'll tithe if I need to.
A quick story: I watch most of my out-of-market baseball on my Playstation 3, which means I use the controller that's usually reserved for video games to navigate MLB.tv. One night, while watching a Dodgers game in San Diego, I was listening to the Padres announcers, which was the default setting. When I realized what was going on in the fifth inning, I pushed a few buttons and suddenly Scully was calling the game.
The thrill and rush of endorphins felt like the first time I beat Super Mario 3 as an 11-year-old.
It's January. Spring is approaching. And with it, more Vin Scully. If he can do some other things on the side, that would be swell. If not, though, let's just remember how fortunate we are to get Scully calling baseball games.

Manchester City came into their match against Fulham knowing that a win would take them three points clear of Manchester United, and within ten minutes it was pretty clear that they'd get it. Adam Johnson managed to 'earn' himself a penalty by initiating contact against Chris Baird while the left back was trying to take evasive action, and Sergio Aguero stepped up to slam the spot kick past Mark Schwarzer for a 1-0 lead.
The Premier League leaders doubled their advantage on the half hour mark when the hapless Baird turned the ball into his own net, and City could easily have scored several more as they ran riot over their guests. And then the snow, which was an annoyance in the early stages of the game, picked up and events at the Etihad became farcical as the two sides were forced to play in what amounted to a blizzard, complete with groundkeepers running out to clear the lines.
With the conditions atrocious, Fulham were able to make something of themselves, but it was clear that City could break at will and the eventually put the game away after some fantastic work by Aguero allowed Edin Dzeko an opportunity to make it 3-0 from eight yards. The Bosnian didn't miss, and although City nearly managed to score an own goal from a corner, the score held for a comfortable, if rather odd victory.

Insulating pipe and toggling display in 2012 was easy. But I can't get it to work in 2013, and there's totally insufficient instructions. Essentially, Help says you can do it but doesn't really tell you how. When I go to Properties, it says that it's "acquired" from line group.insulation type" and can't be placed. If I select "Override", I can fill in the size and type, but it won't display in the model and the tooltip doesn't say that it's insulated. I can find absolutely nothing on the internet addressing this issue. There are time that trying to get adequate info on AP3D is like fishing in a black hole.
Solved! Go to Solution.
It's under process line, not general. I forget that sometimes myself.
Hi Grampster,
Is your project metric or imperial?
Imperial seems working fine, but looks like meric projects are having some issue with the insulation display.
Let me look into the details, meantime could you please confirm the unit of the project you are using?
Also could you please let me know if you are using your custom spec are using the In-the-box specs?
Several types of components do not show insulation by design. IMO, it's not right, but I don't know that it's on the schedule to be fixed...unless we can get a bunch of people to start requesting it.
So far I've seen valves flanges and some other fittings that don' show insulation.
Hopefully we can get enough people to make some noise about this. We really need insulation on everything...especially flanges and valves since those are the most likely components to forget about when laying out a piping run.
I don't know if the bend is on the will not show list or not.
I think insulation is in two different spots to allow you to specify it either on the line group or on individual components. I'll have to research that more.
Imperial out of the box CS150 spec.
Good point, Dave. I went back and added 3 different types of flanged valves on the line, then checked the insulation visibility. Nope, no insulation on flanges and valves. My next question was - is the program smarter than I thought it was. I changed the insulation from Personnel Protection to Hot. No change. I really didn't think it would, but I analyze EVERY thing. Wish List - (1) fix the pipe bend insulation, (2) provide an option to insulate valves & flanges or not.
Showing insulation on the bends is really important because they are actually part of the pipe. I don't really care one way or the other about the flanges and valves.
FYI - taking a hint from what Dave said, I inserted 3 kinds of flange valves into my test line to see the effects of insulation. As he said, flanges and valves aren't insulated. I changed from Personnel Protection to Hot insulation, and, as expected, it made no difference. I changed a pipe bend to an elbow; the elbow became insulated, but not the bends.
As I told Dave, I really don't care one way or the other about the flanges and valves because flanges and valves often aren't insulated (depending on design requirements). But interference with pipe, and insulation, is always a concern and, to me, showing insulation on bends (and the straight-lengths on either end) are quite important. Bends are part of the pipe, not welded in. Maybe this is important enough to issue a version fix.
My opinion
I am escalating the case as a wishlist.

Most experts would say education shapes the future for our children.
On the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, many adults say it's also the way to create change in their struggling community. The only private school on the Reservation goes above and beyond to nurture and educate children. Red Cloud Indian School is reaching new heights.
She came here to carry on a tradition.
"My mom also went to school here and as soon as I came here I realized I liked it here," says Red Cloud senior Cherella Hughes.
Hughes and her siblings attend the Red Cloud Indian School. Earning a coveted spot at this selective school is often seen as a golden ticket to a college education.
"I want to be a pharmacist so I'll go to school for pre pharmacy and then go to pharmacy school," adds Hughes.
Administrators say nearly 100 percent of the school's seniors graduate and move on to further their education or training.
Hughes adds, "I'm really happy I'm here at this school because the people here really care if you do good or not".
Robert Brave Heart Senior is one of those people. He's worked at the Red Cloud School for more than 25 years.
"I think it's successful because of the three components or what I call the pillars of our institution," says Brave Heart.
Those three pillars include academic excellence meaning students are required to fill their schedules with classes all four year. Spiritual formation, developed by volunteering in the community and Lakota studies.
"Learning about their heritage, history, and so forth is important that our students have a positive identity of who they are as Lakota children that helps them succeed in what they do," says Brave Heart.
Succeeding, High School Principal Jim Matten says, despite having all the odds against them.
"My favorite part is watching 200 high school students come through the front door every day, knowing they've had difficulties the night before. Whatever those environmental issues might be. But they show up every day, and they show up to get an education and they show up because there is hope," says Matten.
Hope that their future will be better than their parents' past.
"I truly believe it's preparing the youth for today, so that they can come back and make things better through their leadership abilities that they'll have, their knowledge, their career, because they do want to make it better," says Matten.
"They teach us values that will carry on for the rest of our lives," says Hughes.
While Red Cloud is recognized for positive change, it's still a reach for most students and families on the reservation. There are only spots for 200 students in the high school. Families must pay 100 dollars per student or 200 dollars for multiple students, per year. And the school itself faces a financial burden.
Red Cloud receives no government subsidies, so more than 97 percent of the budget is raised each year through private donations.
If you want to help out, there are many ways to donate. You can call Darlene Weasel Bear in the Advancement Office at 605 - 867 – 1105, Ext 303.

J.P. Morgan Chase (JPM) chief executive Jamie Dimon says the housing market has turned a corner. The Federal Reserve went further on Wednesday, suggesting that housing is picking up steam. The investor reaction: Time to sell!
Homebuilder stocks are wrapping up a tough week for no obvious reason besides late-year profit taking, ahead of builder earnings reports. The SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF (XHB) is set to finish with a weekly loss of more than 5%, barring a late-Friday jump. For the iShares DJ Home Construction Index Fund (ITB), the figure is 6.4%. (Read "Homebuilder Funds That Aren't" for a caution on what these ETFs actually track. Hint: It's not all homebuilders.)
"We believe it is time to take profits in many homebuilder stocks," wrote MKM Partners' Meghan McGrath this week. "W[e] anticipate that the pace of sales growth could slow in the near to medium term, which we believe could result in short-term multiple compression in the group." The same firm's Jim Strugger this week recommended buying put options on the XHB ETF, to guard against further declines in the fund.
The next few weeks' earnings reports include Ryland Group (RYL) and PulteGroup (PHM).
As exchange-traded funds and other investing vehicles have ballooned in number, the task of figuring out what works well and what doesn't has only gotten harder.

That decal could be a very desireable commodity..
Confusion breeds Discussion which breeds Knowledge which breeds Confidence which breeds Friendship
I bought the first 4 of the RPRU Cubs that Ken Updike received back in Jan of this year for the grandkids, and then had to buy more at RPRU when I discovered the ones Chap 17 was selling had the decal in them.
Rudi, I have a #235 that I am willing to part with since I now have a 689 Special Edition that better matches my '48.
The tractor is perfect and the box is not torn but shows some age. I think I paid $25 for it several years ago and would just want to get my money back.
One more variation, that is not listed/shown here. The #448 red cub has a 1 day production run error. It has white wheel rims, not red rims. They are date coded (have to pull mine out of storage to get the date) so the fake ones can be traced. This is a genuine ERTL error, confirmed by ERTL.
The rim color is the only difference.
Cub Cadets....Engineered for people who know better!
Did you say that Ertl was coming out with some more Cub items? Or am I thinking of someone else.
The only "legal" comment I can make is that the production more CUB toys are being evaluated at this time.
Cub Cadets....Engineered for people who know better!
Well now, another Christmas present I guess:
Take one more off of the list. I guess this means just the elusive #235 left to acquire. I just bought the 1991 SE Cub on
Cub Special Edition NIB.

Tama Superstar Hyper-Drive SK 6-Piece Shell Pack

Shell Packs

Delivers the focused punch of birch shells heard in so many of today's recording sessions.
The Tama Superstar Hyper-Drive SK 6-Piece Shell Pack includes a 22" x 18" kick drum, 10" x 6-1/2" and 12" x 7" rack toms, 14" x 12" and 16" x 14" floor toms, and a 14" x 5-1/2" snare drum; as well as tom adaptors and clamps.
The Tama Superstar Hyper-Drive SK 6-Piece Shell Pack provides all the power, projection, and durability you expect from professional drum kit, but at a price that's much less than the traditional intermediate drum set. In sound, features looks and quality, Superstar breaks through the price barriers and delivers the goods—all the sound and all the attitude you ever dreamed of.
These Superstar shells are 100% birch. They are incredibly resonant and focused for stage use, and have a uniquely warm character for studio applications. The shallow shell depth makes for more head resonance and easier tuning. Precisely cut bearing edges bring out the great response and powerful resonance of these superbly crafted shells.
Star-Cast Mounting System
All Superstar rack toms are fitted with a Star-Cast Mounting System similar to Starclassic drums. This unique system offers total tom isolation and unhindered shell resonance without the adverse effect on tuning or complicated head changes found in less advanced suspension designs.
Die-cast hoops
Superstar shells are equipped with the same zinc die-cast hoops featured on Starclassic drums. Die-cast hoops not only make tuning easier and more consistent, they also provide crisp attack, clear and resonant highs, and much more powerful rim shots.
Sound Bridge high-tension lugs
The Sound Bridge high-tension, low-mass lug was specifically designed for Superstar. Sound Bridge's unique structure looks much like a traditional high-tension lug, but the body of the lug floats over the shell to minimize shell contact so the drum can resonate to its fullest. Sound Bridge still offers all the benefits of the traditional high-tensionlug—it offsets the tension of the batter-side and bottom-side heads, reduces stress on the shell, and provides greater protection to the drum shell during transport.
Power Craft drumheads
All Superstar's Power Craft drumheads ensure a great sound practically right out of the box. Batter-side heads are made of Mylar film for richer tone and greater durability. Ring mufflers on bass drumheads remove the need for extra internal muffling.
Hardware and cymbals sold separately.
- 22" x 18" kick
- 10" x 6-1/2" and 12" x 7" mounted toms

PREPARATIONView Step-by-Step Directions
Arrange racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 350°. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Combine oats, cherries, pecans, and chocolate in a large bowl.
Using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar in another large bowl, occasionally scraping down sides of bowl, until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add egg and vanilla and beat to blend. Scrape down sides of bowl. With machine running at low speed, gradually add flour mixture; beat just to blend. Stir in oat mixture with a wooden spoon just to blend.
Using a 1-oz. ice cream scoop or scooping out 2 level tablespoonfuls of dough, measure dough into 36 portions. Divide among baking sheets. Using your hands, gently press down on each dough ball until 1/2" thick.
Bake cookies for 12 minutes. Rotate sheets front to back and top to bottom; continue baking until cookies are golden brown and edges have begun to set but centers are still soft (cookies will appear underdone and shiny in centers), 7–8 minutes longer. Do not overbake. Let cookies cool on baking sheets. DO AHEAD: Cookies can be made 2 days ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
Spread 1 Tbsp. marshmallow creme on bottom of 18 cookies. Sandwich with remaining cookies.
Chocolate Dipping Sauce
Place chocolate and honey in a medium bowl. Bring cream just to a boil in a small saucepan. Pour over chocolate and honey; let stand for 1 minute; stir until melted and smooth. Drizzle over cookies or serve alongside sandwich cookies for dipping.

I'm trying to post data a little bit at a time to a web page. With other words I'm using a loop with an httpConnection, a .setRequestProperty(), a .openDataOutputStream() that writes and flushes, and a .getResponseCode() that always gets HttpConnection.HTTP_OK.
The problem arrives when I post data too often, some data chunks are skipped, even though I wait for the response code. If I put a sleep(1000) after each post it works. So can the web server be not ready even if it has returned a HTTP_OK? Wouldn't the next post fail then, which would not result in HTTP_OK?
I can't figure out why I have to wait if I got an HTTP_OK.
Please help!

Last time we saw the Giants they were 14 - 14 when the series started, and left 15 - 16. The Dodgers took two of the three games, increasing the Dodger first place lead to five games on May 9th. Since that time the Giants have a record of 25 - 17 and have gained two games on the Dodgers.
We did a preview on May 6th, but a few things have changed. Other then Brandon Belt and Buster Posey the Giants are going through their own offensive swoon in June.
- Brandon Belt is no longer being dicked around and is the starting first baseman. He had an 11 game hitting streak snapped on Sunday, but has easily been the Giants best hitter in June with a ridiculous 1.105 OPS in June. Dodger fans should be legitimately worried about Belt for the next five years. Along with Posey / Panda they now have as good a trio of hitters as they have had this century.
Ryan Theriot is still the everyday 2nd baseman, but this version of Theriot is actually hitting and so far in June has been the Giants third best offensive performer with a .729 OPS so far. Yes, that OPS is not impressive, but it shows how bad the Giants bats have been this June.
Pablo Sandoval is back to play 3rd base but his power is still AWOL. His slugging percentage in June is a Gordonish .294, as he has collected ONE double in 56 plate appearances.His power will return, lets just hope it is next year before he totally recovers.
- On the surface it would appear that Melky Cabrera has not stopped hitting with his seasonal .900 OPS. Dig deeper and you find he is also struggling in June with a TSL of .293 / .310 / .415 which is quite a bit off of his seasonal numbers of .351 / 388 / .512.
- Gregor Blanco somehow became the starting right fielder. It is one thing to have the skills that Dee Gordon has, and go with that everyday as a SS, but I'm not sure that is the wisest thing to do with a right fielder. How did this happen? Blanco was in full blown PBM (Pierre Beast Mode) in May putting up an .884 OPS and appears to still be living off of that fairy dust May. In June the dust was blown away, and his TSL is a measly .207 / .266 / 356. As always Nate Schierholtz waits for his chance and when he gets it, he's quite adequate.
- Angel Pagan is another Giant who had a terrific May and is struggling in June. He looks like a carbon copy of Gregor Blanco, complete with a May OPS of .884 and a June OPS of .597.
Rotational MatchUp:
Strangely we get the same three we got the last time we went toe to toe with the Giants with the only difference being that Nathan Eovaldi gets to take on Barry Zito instead of Ted Lilly.
- On June 3rd Barry Zito threw eight innings of shut out ball. His next three starts he has given up 4 / 5 / 8 earned runs giving him a total of 17 earned runs in 14 innings. You would think the Dodgers might be able to score some runs in game one except.... Nathan Eovaldi is pitching for us and we simply do not score runs for Nathan. Not like the Dodgers are scoring runs for anyone lately.
- Ryan Vogelsong is still an amazing story but if you believe in pitching peripherals take note that Ryan's ERA is 2.73, his FIP is 3.73, and his xFIP is 4.53. Quite a diff between his ERA and xFIP.
- Tim Lincecum is the opposite of Vogelsong. Tim has a crazy ERA of 6.07, a FIP of 3.78, and an xFIP of 3.77. They say the velocity is down but the K rate remains strong at 9.87 per nine innings.
Nice that we miss Matt Cain and Bumgarner.
Five different pitchers have gotten saves for the Giants in June. Santiago Casilla (6), Sergio Romo (3), Jeremy Affeldt (1), Javier Lopez (1), and Clay Hensley (1). Affeldt and Lopez are both lefties and without doing some serious digging I'm going to assume they got a left handed hitter out for the final out of the game. For the most part Casilla is the guy, but he's coming off a game in which he gave up a three run walk off bomb to Derrick Norris, and the greatest part is that was Norris's first major league home run. Talk about making it count. Casilla has pitched in three straight game, and given up runs in each of them. We won't see him Monday, expect to see Romo if the Giants are in a save situation. To bad, I'd much rather see Casilla.

Democratic Sen. Malcolm Graham is hosting college students from the Triad for a tour on Tuesday of the International Civil Rights Museum in Greensboro.
After the tour, Graham will join student leaders for a news conference to answer questions regarding the new elections laws, which include requiring identification at the polls, reduces the in-person early voting period and ends same-day voter registration. A lawsuit has been filed challenging the law, passed by the GOP-led General Assembly in July.
The museum occupies the former Woolworth building where four students from North Carolina A&T State University staged a lunch counter sit-in for equal rights in 1960.

By MONICA COLLINS
---- — Dear Dog Lady,
My husband and I have two rescue dogs, one of which we named Stranger. He is a large Labrador/bullmastiff mix. The first six months of his life are a mystery, but he showed up in our yard three years ago as a malnourished puppy with a shattered hind leg, and we worked very hard to rehabilitate and train him. He is a beautiful and well-behaved dog, but he has a deeply troubling and dangerous issue around young children, and we're at a loss.
Recently, our neighbor's 8-year-old daughter was lightly petting his head and all of a sudden he growled and snapped at her. Thankfully, he did not bite her, and she and her parents were very understanding, but this is unacceptable behavior in our family-oriented neighborhood. This is not the first time he has done this, and it seems it only happens with children under 12 to 13 years old. After he growls and/or snaps, he immediately cowers and sometimes relieves himself involuntarily.
I suspect he was possibly tormented by children as a puppy — even beaten — but we don't know how to begin to correct this behavior. Is there something we can do, or do we need professional help? —Worried
A: Just by asking, you do the right thing. Too many people would ignore warning signs of their beloved dog's aggression by rationalizing or denying. Dog Lady applauds you because you care about Stranger — and Stranger danger.
Having your dog evaluated by a behaviorist would be a very smart idea. You can find a professional dog trainer in your area by going to the website of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers, aptd.com. A "certified applied animal behaviorist" (the initials C.A.A.B. after a name) is the highest designation for a trainer.
Until you have your dog evaluated, you should keep him away from all children. Adopting two shelter dogs was a wonderful act of kindness. However, as you found out, you also assume responsibility for the behavioral backstory of canine fears.
Dear Dog Lady,
When my nephew and his fiancée went on vacation, they left their pet parrot, Maya, with me. They said it would be easy-as-pie to take care of this bird, but it's been terrible for me and for Sherman, my west highland white terrier. I believe Maya's squawks torment Sherman because he follows me around constantly with his ears at half-mast. He tried climbing up to swat the cage, and I had to move it higher. Also, the bird has disrupted my life. I gave a dinner party last weekend, and the screeching bird drove us all crazy. My nephew seems to think I will take care of chatterbox Maya whenever he and his fiancée are out of town. I'm the only relative nearby. I am going to have to tell him "no." Do I blame it on the dog? —Patrick
A: The dog will never know what's fair and fowl. So, sure, blame the dear dog. Why not do the brave thing and blame it on yourself? Tell your nephew you love him, he's family, but Maya disrupts your household, and you must ask him to find another place to park the bird.

Veteran golfer and former Masters champion Mark O'Meara has been forced to withdraw from the tournament due to a pulled muscle. The 55-year old, two-time major champion was scheduled to tee off at 11:08 a.m. ET, but his tournament ended before he completed a hole. The PGA Tour tweeted out the news.

O'Meara won both the Masters and the British Open in 1998 en route to being named the 1998 PGA Player of the Year. He had multiple unfortunate injury issues after that season and never regained his form from that season. He has only had one top-10 finish in a major since 1998, when he tied for eighth place at the 2003 Masters.

Heavy-duty slide gate valve
The Vortex HDP® Slide Gate, offers the dry bulk solids industry a revolutionary new valve with expanded capabilities. This heavy-duty slide gate handles non-abrasive to abrasive powders, granules, and pellets; isolates pressures up to 5 bars (75 psig) depending on size; will not leak to atmosphere or across valve; contains a displacement pocket that reduces/eliminates material packing as the blade closes; and is maintenance friendly. The unit was developed to address the following problems: gates placed at the discharge of bins or silos experiencing high aeration, gates located above or below airlocks feeding into higher pressure conveying lines, gates used with scaling operations where air pressure leakage through the valve could potentially cause weight variances, and process gates for dense phase conveying systems. Unit features a self-adjusting blade and clevis, a self-adjusting bonnet seal cartridge, and a tombstone blade design and outlet transition.

METAIRIE, La. ― Sean Payton was simply asked how they would handle the duties of receivers coach Curtis Johnson, who was named Tulane's head football coach Monday afternoon.
Payton gave anything but a simple answer.
In fact, he spent nearly half of his 20-minute Monday morning news conference talking about and answering questions about Johnson.
Suffice it to say Payton thinks Tulane made a great hire.
"I don't know how many good decisions Tulane football has made in the past 10 years," Payton said. "This (former Tulane running back Matt) Forte was one of them. I'll tell you this – this hiring of Curtis Johnson will be another one."
Johnson will juggle duties until the Saints' season ends, Payton said, balancing his job as receivers coach in the NFL with the task of putting together a staff and recruiting.
Payton credited Johnson, from St. Rose, La., with being one of the main reasons the Saints' receiving corps has been so steady since 2006, when the current regime took over at Airline Drive.
That Johnson has never been a head coach or even a coordinator of any sort shouldn't matter, Payton said.
"It's silly," Payton said. "I mean, it's ignorant. … Vince Lombardi had his first head job somewhere and all of us have our first head job. This is my first job so I think it's silly, and there's a lot of coaches that have been prior head coaches that were hired based on their experience and (failed)."
What will aid Johnson with the Green Wave will be his regard for his players and vice versa, Payton said.
"He's on them hard and yet, when practice is over and we're finished meetings, two of them are in his room," Payton said. "They truly feel like he cares about their progress and well-being and I think that's been part of our success."
Saints receiver Lance Moore agrees.
"He's the ultimate motivator," Moore said. "He's the perfect coach for a player to want to play for. He knows the game. He has played the game himself. It may be different or unorthodox, but he definitely knows what he's talking about.
"For him to be able to give pointers and tips, especially from his perspective having played the game, those guys will have to appreciate and respect where he's coming from."

Lodge hosts day of fun
Family event by faith group pulls hundreds
Eldorado — Joyce DuPree's goal Saturday was to have fun. The 11-year-old San Angeloan had already had her face painted, and now she was trying her hand at fishing.
"I came here so I could have fun," she said with determination. "And yes, I am."
DuPree and her father, Calvin, were among hundreds who turned out for the Epic Family Adventure at the Magnum Lodge just outside Eldorado.
Fishing, rock climbing, inflatables, face painting, popping balloons, a dunking booth, 3-D big game hunting, hamburgers, hot dogs, an inspirational speaker, music, plus a whole lot of old-fashioned fun were on the menu.
The lodge and its 15 acres are owned by Jim and Melony Roche. The couple run a big game hunting business and also lead a youth ministry called Adventure in Youth Missions.
Their goal Saturday was to bring families together in a safe, Christian environment.
"We wanted to help kids develop Christian character," Jim said of the event. "We're raising the bar, not lowering it."
The Roches have hosted smaller gatherings before, but nothing on this scale.
"A vision came from the Lord," Jim said. "And to share this vision with other churches and to come together, this is just wonderful."
Jim praised the various area churches and more than 100 volunteers who helped with the event. Families came from San Angelo, Eldorado, Mertzon, Christoval, Paint Rock, Water Valley, Rowena and Miles.
Marianna Duran was disobeying her doctor's orders by helping. The 15-year-old from Eldorado had major surgery just last week.
"I wanted to be here," she said. "I like helping with the word of God and helping the children."
Manuel and Amy Frausto of San Angelo saw an ad for the event at their church and brought their four children.
"It sounded fun," Amy said. "It's something the whole family could come to."
Renita Davis watched her children Elijah and Aundrea fish from two large ponds stocked with catfish, perch and bass.
"I came because it's a family outing for children and parents," she said. "I thought it would be a great experience and a chance to meet other people."
Kyle Johnson, 4, of San Angelo, was all smiles after he caught a 2.1 pound catfish.
"It took some minutes," he said. "It was good."
With broken families a problem in this country, anything that can bring them together is good, said Don Maier, mission director with Glen Meadows Baptist Church in San Angelo.
"This is a chance for people to spend quality time with their kids," he said. "It's good, old, honest fun and a tremendous opportunity to get away from the city."
Getting out in the country and away from the electronic toys that sometimes consume children was another reason why Calvin DuPree brought his daughter Joyce.
"Kids listen to music, and they watch movies," he said. "This is something kids have never done before."

She was supposed to be his mentor and high school Spanish teacher. Now Giovanna Yaranga, 44, is facing four felony counts of sexual exploitation of a minor."This is an abuse of trust. It's an abuse of power by Ms. Yaranga," said Chittenden County State's Attorney T.J. Donovan.Donovan said the relationship unraveled on April 29 when a Burlington Police officer spotted Yaranga and a 17-year-old male in the backseat of her car. They were parked behind the Maltex building on Pine Street at night. "Because she's a teacher, because she has this control and authority over her students, because there are parents in this community who have students, the public's got a right to know," Donovan said.The 17-year-old honors student at Burlington High told police he has taken several classes with Yaranga -- even traveling with her to Peru on a school trip. He described Yaranga as a "second mother" he could talk to. But also said they've had sex about 10 times since last fall -- setting up meetings via text message -- then allegedly engaging in sexual acts in Yaranga's car, area hotels and the victim's home. Yaranga pled not guilty and told police the boy is confused. She claims she encouraged him to date people his own age -- even her daughter. "This is a woman -- by all accounts -- was a good teacher, was respected in the community and it's a case that certainly I think a lot of people are going to be asking themselves why or how could this have happened," Donovan said.In a statement, Burlington's Superintendent called the case deeply upsetting:"... the safety of our students is the District's priority. The District had no evidence of physical improprieties or sexual misconduct by Ms. Yaranga. The faculty, staff and administration are well aware of their obligations as mandatory reporters of child abuse and have and will continue to fully comply with those requirements."But did the school do all the could to protect this student? According to court paperwork, Principal Amy Mellencamp did not seem surprised when police informed her about the allegations."It's all about who knew what, when," Donovan said.Mellencamp told police she just warned Yaranga the previous day about her relationship with the victim after multiple parents complained about the two dining together in public. Police are continuing to investigate if there are other victims.Yaranga is on paid administrative leave while the criminal case plays out. If convicted, she faces up to 20 years in prison. The school district said its conducting its own internal investigation. They sent a letter out to parents Monday afternoon explaining the situation and asking parents to call the Chittenden Unit for Special Investigations if they have additional information.

DeBernardis, president and founder of Perimeter Bicycling Association of America, Inc. "We are incredibly delighted to be a part of Viva Bike Vegas. It is an extraordinary cycling event for the Las Vegas community."
Perimeter Bicycling has developed collaborative partnerships with the RTC, city of Henderson, city of Las Vegas and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) to help support and promote the ride.
"We are excited that Perimeter Bicycling Association of America has decided to produce Viva Bike Vegas this year," said Tina Quigley, general manager of the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada.

By Karen Cohilas - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - At least 33 property owners in Dougherty County have extensive flood damage throughout their homes, running into hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of damage.
One man in East Dougherty County has moved out of his home and into a tent because of mold and mildew problems inside, and he can no longer afford hotels.
The past few weeks have been rough on Kenny Freeman. He saw the flood waters rising at his home on Parr Road, and knew he couldn't stop them.
He's since ripped the carpet and padding out of every room. The sheetrock is next. You can't see the mold, and can't smell it through the television, but it's definitely here.
"There's no way you could live in here, you would probably get a disease " said Freeman.
For a while, Kenny was staying in hotels. "We've probably spent $1,000 just in hotels and food."
But now, he's out of money, and literally counting pennies. "I'm really getting to where we're having to count change out to buy gas. We've milked ourselves for everything we had on rooms."
So now, he's found a new place to stay. He's sleeping in a tent in his front yard, complete with a TV, fan, and even an outdoor kitchen. "It's a lot cheaper than the motel."
Unless President Obama declares Dougherty County a Presidential disaster so Kenny can apply for financial assistance, this may be the best he can do.
"It's just unlivable, unbearable. We have no more money to go anywhere else and this is our home away from home at home."
Emergency management officials say they are still in a holding pattern, waiting on the President to declare Dougherty County a disaster area.
They said anyone with flood damage should take pictures of the interior and exterior of your homes and keep receipts of what you spend to repair the damage.

FLORENCE, AZ – Pinal County Air Quality will resume issuing open burning permits in portions of Pinal County on September 16, 2013. The ban originally went into effect in late April to mitigate the risk of wildfire. Recent rains and higher humidity levels have reduced the fire risk in many areas. The ban on open burning will remain in effect where local fire departments still regard open fires as a threat, including the Dudleyville Fire District. State law prohibits open burning in the portion of north central Pinal County that includes Apache Junction, Queen Creek, Gold Canyon and San Tan Valley. This region, referred to as Area A, is affected by more stringent air quality regulations that prohibit open burning until October 1. On September 16, 2013 Pinal County Air Quality will also resume holding satellite office hours at the Casa Grande County Complex located at 820 E. Cottonwood Lane, Building A, on Mondays and Wednesdays from 8 AM to noon. Applications for burn permits and additional information on open burning are available on the Air Quality Division's website at http://pinalcountyaz.gov/Departments/AirQuality/Pages/BurnPermits.aspx or by calling the Pinal County Air Quality Division at 520-866-6929.

Executive Director Tim Lawrence has known SkillsUSA as a student member, instructor, industry partner and state director. Got a question? He can help.
Q: How do the new national calls for service fit into SkillsUSA's plans?
Tim: To talk about where our organization will be in the year 2020, SkillsUSA recently brought together a group of key stakeholders. We're calling this strategic planning process "Vision 2020" which means a look toward the future with clear, perfect vision. We reviewed information gathered this year from our members. The common threads were that our students truly want to help others, and they want to leave the world a better place. We can act on that information now.
In state after state, students I've talked with have asked SkillsUSA to offer more opportunities for providing service to others. They also want us to help shape activities that have a positive impact on schools, communities and the sustainability of our planet for future generations.
At the same time, the new Obama team has been asking the question, "How can we engage youth in service?" In fact, they're even considering an office of civic engagement as a White House initiative. We're honored that the administration reached out to SkillsUSA and other student organizations to ask our opinions on how to involve young people.
I have to believe that the stars are aligning at this place in time. Our student members have told us in no uncertain terms that they want to provide service, and our government is pledging to make service a priority. SkillsUSA will reach out to both sides, and we hope to provide a model for engagement.
Meanwhile, take a look at this issue of SkillsUSA Champions. You'll see a variety of ways members are currently serving our schools, our communities and our country. Service can come in many forms, from helping one person to benefiting an entire community. It can be very structured and formalized, with learning components. Or, service can be a matter of identifying and meeting a local need through a one-time project.
The SkillsUSA pledge, written in 1965, includes the statement, "to base my expectations of reward upon the solid foundation of service." Since our founding, we've believed that truly great leaders are committed to service. Leaders know the reward comes when you give to others with no expectation of personal gain.
It's pretty amazing that the voices of the past align with the hopes and dreams of the current generation. What a powerful statement this is!
Got questions about SkillsUSA or other topics? E-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or send a letter to SkillsUSA / P.O. Box 3000 / Leesburg, VA 20177. Put "Ask Tim" in the subject line or mail address.

Haiti Project team and Haitian nursing faculty reunited in Haiti
November 16, 2011.
Regis President Antoinette Hays returned to Haiti on November 15 to continue building and strengthening relationships with Haitian project partners for the Regis College Haiti Project. At the same time, she and the project team were reunited with the assembled first cohort of twelve Haitian nursing faculty from all over the country. This group completed the first semester of its march toward the Master's degree this summer at Regis, and this week in Haiti they have continued their coursework with President Hays and Regis College nursing faculty. The Regis College Haiti Project aims to help build the human infrastructure of Haiti by educating its nursing faculty and helping them assume responsibility for their profession and for nursing education throughout the country.
"Whether it is strengthening our current project partner relationships or building new ones, every meeting and trip to Haiti provides us with greater project and team energy and enlightenment," said Alexis Lawton, Director of Communications and Administration for the Regis College Haiti Project. "The first cohort of Haitian nursing faculty we met last summer," she added, "are all here with us continuing their coursework in nursing leadership and at the same time providing us with constructive feedback over our daily meals together. Everyone is thrilled to be reunited pursuing a common goal." The project coursework is being accomplished by a combination of classes taught on-site at Regis College, in Haiti and online.
Additionally, the Regis project team and first cohort are participating in the ANIHL conference on nursing education and nursing needs in Haiti held in Port-Au-Prince at the end of the week. The group also will visit the newly built state of the art Partners in Health hospital in Mirebalais set to open in 2012.

Rehire Bobby Valentine!
Bobby Valentine had the SECOND MOST WINS of any Manager in Met history. We need to let Fred Wilpon know that this policy of getting rid of talent the second they stumble is just not going to be tolerated anymore. We let them piss away far too much of it already -- or have we learned nothing from trading players like Shawn Estes, John Olerud, Robin Ventura and countless others While the front office doesn\'t seem to have learned anything, we, the fans, the people who give the team its heart and soul (despite the pain it may cause us year after year) have learned. REHIRE BOBBY VALENTINE OR YOU CAN KEEP MY SEASON TICKETS.

£375 million MoD contracts will help create jobs
Hundreds of jobs in our region are to be protected after two major Ministry of Defence contracts were awarded - worth a total of £375 million.
Southampton contract Trimline have had their contract to refurbish Royal Fleet Auxiliary ships extended for five years. Here we speak to Gary Oliver from the firm:


text: In two of the Browns' first three losses, the decisive touchdown of the game came when the team blitzed and could not get to the opposing quarterback before he delivered the ball. In Week One, the Browns brought seven rushers but didn't come close to bringing down Buccaneers QB Josh Freeman, and WR Micheal Spurlock beat CB Joe Haden for the game-winning score. Two weeks later, another seven-man rush didn't get to Ravens QB Joe Flacco, who found WR Anquan Boldin for his third TD catch of the game against CB Eric Wright. "We haven't been precise on some of those," Browns defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, speaking in the week leading up to Week Four, said of the club's max-pressure blitzes. "... When you max-pressure, someone's band is going to play. Either your band or theirs, and unfortunately, we've heard their music a couple of times. It doesn't mean I'm going to turn into a wimp all of a sudden. We've got to be smart about it." Through three games, the Browns had four sacks, with OLB Marcus Benard recording 2½. When he missed the Baltimore game, the Browns didn't notch a sack, and he's clearly established himself as one of the club's more important pass-rush threats, the way we hear it.

ATLANTA (AP) -- Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood and Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed kicked off the construction of the city's $94 million streetcar project, which they say will be a catalyst for jobs and economic development and a boon for the downtown tourism district.
About half of the funding for the project comes from a federal grant the city won in 2010. The streetcar will run on a 2.6-mile route with stops at major attractions including the World of Coca-Cola, the CNN Center, the Georgia Aquarium and the historic Auburn Avenue district, home to the birthplace of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
Supporters are touting the project as the first phase of what could be city and region wide transportation efforts that will also attract businesses to a long-depressed economic area.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

New York Giants running back Brandon Jacobs was held out of practice again on Friday and is listed as doubtful on the injury report. Jacobs is dealing with a knee injury that multiple people have listed as a mild MCL sprain. Tom Coughlin likes to play with the "competitive advantage" of the injury report and will list Jacobs as a game time decision, but Jacobs will not be active when the Giants take on the Seattle Seahawks.
The other Giants running back, Ahmad Bradshaw, will get the lion's share of the workload at running back on Sunday. Back up D.J. Ware will get the snaps if Bradshaw needs a breather, but expect Bradshaw to get the bulk of the carries. While Jacobs will not play this weekend, if his injury is in fact an MCL sprain, it could linger.
