You're a what from past issues
In his career, Billy Smith has reached great heights. As a tower technician, Billy climbs up the face of telecommunications towers to remove, install, test, maintain, and repair a variety of equipment—from antennas to light bulbs.
Tower technicians also build shelters and radiofrequency shields for electronic equipment, lay coaxial and fiber optic cables, and remove pests and weeds. Sometimes, they set supports and stack construction pieces to build the tower itself.
Billy is usually part of a four-person crew: himself and one other technician; a rigger, who moves heavy equipment; and a supervisor, who oversees the job. At the beginning of each workday, the crew members meet to discuss the site they're working on, the work they will be doing, and any potential safety issues. The crew then travels to the tower site and inspects the tower for hazards, such as power lines or beehives.
When the crew is responsible for installing new equipment on a telecommunications tower, Billy and the other technician climb the tower while the supervisor and rigger stay on the ground. The supervisor and rigger send up the necessary equipment and materials to the technicians, who then follow manufacturer specifications or engineers' blueprints to install the equipment.
After installing the equipment, tower technicians need to test it. Simple equipment may need only to be turned on and off. But with sophisticated equipment—such as antennas and fiber optic cable—Billy and the other technician might need to use handheld testing devices to verify the equipment is properly installed. For example, they might test fiber optic cables for signal loss. The technicians report to engineers any problems, along with recommended solutions, such as adjusting the tilt or location of an antenna.
Technicians must be mentally prepared and in good physical shape to climb cell phone towers up to 200 feet tall and broadcasting towers up to 2,000 feet tall. The climb is even more difficult because the heavy equipment they carry—such as replacement parts and tools—can weigh more than 90 pounds. "It can feel like you're carrying another person," Billy says.
Climbing towers is dangerous work. To stay safe, tower technicians maintain radio contact with the ground crew at all times. But slips, falls, and other accidents—such as overheating from improperly shielded radiofrequency equipment—can happen. To help minimize risk, Billy and other technicians use climbing and safety equipment that latches onto anchors built into the tower frame. This equipment, known as the Personal Fall Arrest System, includes a safety belt, harness, hooks, and lanyards.
Technicians use the equipment, along with their hands and feet, to stay safe while they are on the tower. For example, Billy might hook a safety cable to the tower and climb with his hands and feet. But when he needs to hang in place and work with his hands, he wraps a lanyard through an anchor on the tower and then secures it through two loops on his safety belt.
Weather is another threat to technicians' safety, says Billy. Heavy winds can blow a technician off the tower, for example, and ice causes slippery conditions. During the summer, heat and sunlight can lead to overheating or heatstroke. Technicians also have to watch out for lightning, which can strike the tower from a storm many miles away.
Over the years, Billy has learned to judge the weather and to take action to protect himself and his crew. If conditions are poor, Billy's crew can delay work on the tower until conditions improve. But if he and another technician are already on the tower and the weather suddenly changes, they can rappel down the tower quickly and safely.
Before they ascend or descend towers, technicians receive safety training paid for by their employer. The training usually includes instruction in first aid, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), proper use of safety equipment, emergency procedures, and rescue operations. "We don't have to wait for an emergency crew," says Billy. "We are all trained to do our own rescues."
Employers may also pay for technical training, from troubleshooting equipment to channeling fiber optic cables. On-the-job training typically lasts about 6 weeks. There is no school for tower climbing, and educational requirements are minimal. "You learn most things on the field through trial and error," Billy says.
But technicians usually bring some skills to the job. An aptitude for computers, mechanics, and climbing are particularly helpful, says Billy, as are dependability and attention to detail. Tower technicians also must pass random drug tests and be willing to travel on assignments, often for months at a time.
Many tower technicians enter the occupation through personal connections. Billy, for example, was recruited by a cousin who worked in the tower business. "I was climbing oil rigs, but jobs were becoming scarce," he says. "It was easy to switch to climbing telecommunications towers."
Other tower technicians find work through job advertisements. Online portals that specialize in the tower business are particularly useful. In addition to job ads, these portals often include news, training courses, and other career resources related to tower work.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) does not collect employment and wage data specific to tower technicians. However, BLS does collect data on a related occupation, telecommunication line installers and repairers, whose workers specialize more on the lines themselves than on climbing the towers to do technical tasks. There were almost 149,000 telecommunication line installers and repairers in May 2011, according to BLS, and they earned a median annual wage of $51,720, or an hourly wage of $24.87.
Anecdotal information suggests that the typical wage for experienced tower technicians is about $20 per hour. Entry-level technicians earn about $15 per hour. These wages are usually supplemented with hotel accommodations and money for daily expenses when they are on travel for work.
Many tower technicians do not work in the occupation long. Some find the work too dangerous, can't cope with the stress of the climbs, or don't like the lengthy travel schedule. Others work in the field temporarily while looking for another job.
Consequently, experienced tower technicians often earn excellent job security and are competitively recruited by different companies. Many also find that mastering telecommunications line technologies is exciting and rewarding. "Every tower is a completely different challenge," Billy says, "and a new learning experience."
Billy knows that the risks of being a tower technician might dissuade some people from making a career of it. But for him, the perks of his work outweigh the danger associated with it. He enjoys the travel and the chance to meet many different people at each site and on the road. And most of all, he says, he enjoys using his skills to do important work: "I feel proud to build something that will last and help others."

MAC address - Media Access Control address
Short for Media Access Control address, a hardware address that uniquely identifies each node of a network. In IEEE 802 networks, the Data Link Control (DLC) layer of the OSI Reference Model is divided into two sub-layers: the Logical Link Control (LLC) layer and the Media Access Control (MAC) layer. The MAC layer interfaces directly with the network medium. Consequently, each different type of network medium requires a different MAC layer.
On networks that do not conform to the IEEE 802 standards but do conform to the OSI Reference Model, the node address is called the Data Link Control (DLC) address.
How to Find a MAC Address
To display your MAC address on a Windows NT/2000/2003/XP/Visa computer:
In the "ipconfig /all" results look for the adapter you want to find the MAC address of. The MAC address is the number located next to "Physical Address" in the list.
See "What Is a MAC Address?" in Webopedia's Quick Reference section to learn how to find a MAC address, identifying unknown devices and more.
Also see a breakdown of the seven OSI layers in the Quick Reference section of Webopedia.

Summoning Spirits: The Art of Magical Evocation, by Konstantinos
Llewellyn books, 212 pp.
I found this book to be very well written, with no overt typos. The author is knowledgeable on the subject and as plus in my review mentions Franz Bardon, giving readers a chance to look at the work of an earlier occult author. Konstantinos provides readers a thorough examination of summoning spirits, including several different ways of evocation and exercises that can be used by the beginner or adept to ground him/herself and get a working knowledge of how to evoke before the actual evocations begin. He also provides a list of spirits the magician might wish to work with.
However, while I liked this book overall I did find the emphasis on Judeo-Christianity to be a bit much. Granted much of the tradition of evocation is centred around those religions, however I wish the author would've researched other magic systems such as Demonolatry so that he could present alternative ways of evocation that don't involve calling on the Judeo-Christian god. At the least I would've liked to have seen a framework provided for magicians that might not be comfortable working with Judeo-Christian spirits

Even when Alex Smith wins, he can't seem to win.
Coming off a 13-win season, more victories than he had in the previous four seasons combined, and a personal breakthrough as a pro quarterback, Smith has had something of a strange, tumultuous offseason.
First, he had to sit and wait as a free agent while his coach, Jim Harbaugh, took a strong look at Peyton Manning — despite Harbaugh's strident (and ridiculous) denials that was what was going down — before earning a contract to remain with the 49ers.
Then Smith was caught in a strange argument in which he was trying to make a point about passing yards not equating to wins, one that ended up looking like he was calling out Cam Newton for being prolific but 6-10 as a rookie.
And now, after Smith served as Harbaugh's caddy for the AT&T Pro Am at Pebble Beach in February, Harbaugh apparently will not return the favor when Smith plays in the American Century Championship golf event in Lake Tahoe, Nev. later this month.
The last part, of course, isn't a big deal. But Smith did say Thursday, when I asked him on a conference call about whether the Manning courting lingered with him as motivation, that the situation was "a little awkward" when it left Smith in limbo for about a week.
"Certainly there are a lot of forms of motivation," Smith said. "I guess that's there a little bit as far as motivation."
Smith eventually did sign a three-year deal with the 49ers, and he's the unquestioned starter for now on a team that has clear Super Bowl designs and is armed with perhaps the best defense in the NFL. Better yet for Smith, the team went to great lengths to supply him with more toys at receiver, signing Randy Moss and Mario Manningham and drafting A.J. Jenkins in Round One.
So why does it feel as if it's all on Smith these days?
Maybe people are not completely convinced last season was the start of an upward trend. Maybe people thought his statistics were good but not great. Perhaps it's the notion that Harbaugh — excuse the phrase — caddied for Smith in the sense that he controlled his pitch count (Smith had the fewest pass attempts of any 16-game starter) and used creative formations and power football to account for the QB's shortcomings.
Let the record show that public perception probably has little to do with on-field results. If Smith wins big again this year, he'll likely get his due. And what matters the most is that Smith and Harbaugh maintain the same level of trust they had for each other a year ago. Harbaugh, in denying the 49ers' work with Manning was anything but organizational I-dotting and T-crossing, was trying his best to protect his QB, and Smith said it never turned personal or ugly during the Manning courtship.
"I don't think I ever had hard feelings for Coach Harbaugh," Smith said. "It was a little awkward there for about a week, (when) I didn't know what was going on.
"But I have a great deal of respect for Coach Harbaugh. He's always been up front with me, always told me the truth, even if it was something I didn't want to hear."
Smith still hasn't won over the 49ers' faithful completely, even after last year's flourish. The team is relevant again, and Smith had his breakout season at age 27. But he's often viewed as passive and polite, perhaps not owning the edge to ever be great.
Harbaugh has vehemently dismissed that notion. Urban Meyer, Smith's college coach at Utah who also was on the conference call, has been an unapologetic defender of the QB. And maybe Smith, having tasted pro success, is feeling more bold about his place in the league.
He sounded that way at times on the call.
"I certainly felt what I did last year, it was my job to compete for," Smith said. "I really felt like I earned that right. I certainly wasn't going to give it up to anybody, no matter who they were."
Meyer defended Smith — and himself — by showing pride about watching his and Tim Tebow's success last season play out in front of national audiences.
"To see Alex and Tim almost make (the) Super Bowl, I watched almost every frickin' snap," Meyer said. "I love Alex Smith. It's great to see people you root for do well."
Meyer now has three quarterbacks (Smith, Tebow and Newton, although Meyer might only root for two of them) who came from his programs the past several seasons who currently are starting or vying for starting QB jobs in the NFL. But Smith is perhaps closest to winning a title.
The 49ers, stocked with most of the roster of a team that lost in overtime of the NFC title game, are considered among the handful of teams capable of winning it all this season. Smith said it has required an attitude adjustment for a team that hadn't finished above .500 prior to last season since 2002.
"Each and every guy in the locker room expects great things from us," Smith said. "I think it's a great thing. Yeah, it's a bit different, but it's great this way."
Can he be the savior? Who knows? What Smith does know is that he doesn't care about passing yards — hence the Newton thing, which Smith said he got "carried away with" — and QB ratings and all of the rest. Smith reemphasized that notion Thursday
"For me it's about winning games," Smith said. "I said the same thing last year when we played the Saints in the playoffs. Yeah, that offense is pretty prolific and (passed) for (more than) 5,000 yards. For me, I'm trying to score more points than the other team. I don't really care how we do it."
Smith said Harbaugh has made it clear that the coach thinks along those same lines.
"That's our philosophy: We've got a lot of ways to get it done," Smith said. "I don't really care how many yards I throw for, as long as we score more points than the guys we're playing."
That's the bottom line, it seems. But if the 49ers keep doing that, will Smith be beloved? That remains to be seen.

NBA sources told FOX 26 Sports the Rockets are sending forward Royce White, forward/center Donatas Motiejunas and guard Scott Machado to the team's NBA Development League affiliate, the Rio Grande Valley Vipers.
Motiejunas has played in one game in the regular season, scoring three points.
White and Machado have yet to see action.
White was taken by the Rockets with the 16th overall selection in the first round of this year's NBA Draft out of Iowa State.
Motiejunas was acquired in a trade with the Dallas Mavericks during the 2011 NBA Draft and spent that season in Europe.
Machado was signed this offseason as an undrafted free agent from Iona.

A refrigerator is a refrigerator. It's does what it's supposed to do. The only thing that gets me is that even after you stop pressing the button to release the ice the ice still comes out and ends up on the floor. It's like the ice is being thrown out of the chute at 85 mph with no breaks. Granted it is our first refrigerator with an ice maker, so I'm sure once we get the hang of it things will be better.

Purchased this refrigerator 3 weeks ago and it has major issues. I guess it's a clearance model for a reason. Not worth the money at all. It started building up frost and ice along freezer door. Obviously water runs from inside along the door and freezes. You can hear water running inside somewhere down below and the water/ice dispenser in door always drips.

Hello lurkers, hiya regulars, and you other team people? Yeah, you. Hi. Don't think I didn't notice you hang out most of the time at other sites.
We're a month in to the season, some of you have popped in and out during the first two months of the season... Others have been more regular in the comments on stories and game threads... Some of you just read the stories and react in your own private life and move on.
Well, this thread is simply asking you to say hi / introduce yourself to the community. Who are you? How long have you been a fan (and a fan of what team(s)?), where else do you post on the web talking about said teams (if at all)? Are you on Twitter? How can you stand reading drivel like this on a regular basis posted by me?... Wait a second, did I just type that? Uh...
Those above questions aren't necessary to be answered, but they're a template to follow if you don't know how to break the ice.
If you're just a lurker and want to get your toes wet here in comments (with no obligation to comment again), that's all fine and good. It'd just be nice to know you are out there.
If you're an old hand, you've probably already participated in one of these posts... This is about the larger community on Raw Charge, the Boltosphere, the hockey world, and WORLD DOMINATION!!!!!!!!!!111!!!!!!!.... (Three out of four at least) Basically I just request you do everything over again and have fun with it.
So, please, if you have a chance -- who are you? How are you? Introduce yourself to Raw Charge and Raw Chargers.

Interesting perspective from friend of the blog and B&B co-host Brian Hadad on the upcoming season, in which he thinks Dan Mullen's career at MSU is at a crossroads. Really well written by Brian. Do you guys agree or disagree? I know we'll hear from Metal Building Dawg on this later in the week.
In what I would consider pretty stunning news this morning, MSU Tight End Marcus Green has been granted a 6th year of eligibility by the NCAA. Green makes a pretty deep group of TE's even deeper for State, and will most likely compete with Malcom Johnson for the starting position this fall. ETA: Brad Locke's article states that Green met the requirements of a medical hardship after the 2010 season, but was told he could not apply for it until his eligibility was exhausted after the 2011 season. Makes more sense now, at least in my opinion.
Chris Low, ESPN's lead SEC blogger, today compiled a ranking of the SEC football facilities. MSU came in 9th out of 14 (list includes new members aTm and Mizzou), but Chris appears to have not updated his info on the new football facility: "The Bulldogs are breaking ground on a new $25 million football complex sometime this year..." Try LAST year, Christopher. Do you agree with this ranking? At first I thought we were ranked low, but there are some really good facilities ahead of us.
Cant make the spring game Saturday but want to watch the game live? Well, if you live in the southeast, you're out of luck. State announced that the spring game will be live on the radio network, will be tape delayed on CSS (Sunday), and will air on ESPN3 OUTSIDE OF THE SOUTHEAST. Which is awesome, if you live in Cali, or Saskatchewan. Edit to add: the game will be on HailStateTV live too, if you're a member.
If you haven't already seen it suggested by the 13245135351239 other State people who may have passed it to you via email, twitter, or Facebook today, I suggest you take the time to read Spencer Hall's recap of his day with Dan Mullen and the Mississippi State football program. An outstanding job by Spencer, even though Dan thought he was a dormitory! (no joke) Check it out
It appears the trend Scott Stricklin and company started last fall with the #Hashtagonthefield is catching on in other places. Michigan, which has its spring game this upcoming weekend, will hashtag #GOBLUE on the 25 yard lines. Where Michigan takes it further and this is pretty cool, they will feature "pre-approved" tweets featuring the #GOBLUE hashtag on their video board throughout the game. Props to Michigan for taking the idea and adding another cool concept to it. No word yet from Scott Stricklin if he will look to one-up the Wolverines by tattooing #HailState on his cheek.
On this week's episode of the radio show, justinrsutton, RobbieRandolph and The Croom Diaries joined host thecristilmethod to discuss the weekend of baseball versus Arky, the start of spring football practice and who we are watching, and the continued basketball coaching search. Check out the show as we name who we like as the new basketball coach, talk about how the baseball team is playing well even at 2-4 in the SEC, and we even name The Croom Diaries our head of topical humor. As always we want to remind you that we are powered by the wonderful folks at Bulldog Sports Radio, and we encourage you to check out the rest of the high quality programming in their lineup on your Apple device, Android device or on your PC.
Found this video at the New England Patriots page today and thought you all might enjoy. As a part of their Patriots Today segment, the site talked with Fletcher Cox about his relationship with Patriots DR and fellow former Bulldog Kyle Love. As you'll remember, Fletcher was an Freshman during Love's Senior season in Maroon and White. Neat video, check it out

Journal Entries from The Hoar Group Telluride to Moab 2009 Part II
Date posted: 2011/03/10
Evening shade – that's the reason for the hut orientation, along with the practical design of the trailers. I'm enjoying the 'back deck' now, along with a nice breeze, laughing at the 'picnic table' fashioned with empty water jugs, duct tape, and card board. Must be the frisbee golf family in front of us. I've always thought porcupines just ate lichen of trees, never heard of salty-bike-leather. We've been more concerned about black bears running off with our gear like what happened to me in Alaska.
Since the crapper is a 20 minuet expedition, I may have to lower my pride and ask hubby for and escort this dusk, in case something is lurking!
Wow, just got interrupted by a fat hummingbird staring me down.
Our bikes:
Jamis Dakar, xcr expert in sexy red
Specialized Mykar with fancy brown and tan paint
We finally gave up the ghost on our 15 year old hard-tails, they are commuter bikes now with slick tires, a perfect buggy hauler. We did Durango to Moab with those bikes, added a 'poor mans suspension' (one the seat post) for the long range comfort.
The family with no front shocks – ouch! Even with our updated '08 fancy gear my fillings just about fell out on today's first 15 miles. Maybe a bit unlucky, but the grading crew had covered that section recently, and made any momentum on downhills a game of roulette. At the towers we fired off some pics to our family, took a rest at iron springs, the savored the next 15 miles of downhill and smooth roads. Checked on the rug-rat – she's running the house now.
Sneezing, must be allergic to columbine. I'd love to catch up to the two 'chefs' ahead of us. I'm vegetarian now, so we have had to get creative with the food stores.
Day 1 – we made black bean burgers out of beans, chilies, eggs, crackers, and spices.
Day 2 – a bit simpler grilled cheese and tomato soup.
Tonight is sauteed potato slices with garlic and cheese. PB & J also works. For lunch we've boiled eggs the night before, a nice trail side treat. One breakfast was egg and cheese sandwich, made them the night before to help avoid the AM clean up and get us out the door by seven.
Showers on Tuesday then a pub & grill on Wednesday! I'm so happy!
(for those hungry bikers tired of pasta)
4 red potatoes – cubed
1 onion
2 cups shredded cheddar
rosemary garlic seasoning
olive oil
boil potatoes til soft
saute onions in olive oil
add potatoes to onions
add seasoning
cover and simmer for 10 minuets
serve with asparagus and butter
we made enough for 4 then had it for breakfast too
This ranch is amazing! Not just showers, but hot showers! We don't understand the cowbell, the "bell of shame" on the one white horse. Maybe he's a trouble maker or has a disability, nonetheless, I hope he moves to a farther pasture so I don't feel like I'm at a bobsled race all night.
We contemplated not taking this turn and going straight to the pub at Gateway. But we would have missed out on all this. We'll second guess ourselves in the morning with the gravely 6 mile trudge out of here. Did I mention I hate loose gravel? Lucky only 2% of today had it.
Take note of the pictures of John Brown Canyon in the bathroom. It's going to be a bear, hot too. So glad only 2 nasty climb days compared to the 3 from Durango.
As I write two deer just jumped the fence line to join the party. The tweedy-birds are crazy around here, one tried to land on my knee while lounging on the back deck. No ranchers around today.
Tonight's recipe: (our first pasta night) cream of mushroom soup with peas and pasta. Would have been pizza on tortilla if we could have figured out a way to bake it.
Yes, we, I mean "I," was the one that broke the Graham's toilet lid. I still feel terrible. I even called the SJHS guys to see if I could deliver a new one from Moab.
The swim in the river was a treat, a long with the Ben and Jerry's and gourmet food from Wally World.
Storm whipped through and cooled us down. Possible AM rain!
The toilet breakers.
Today we arrived to the long awaited La Sal Hut and there before us was a welcoming committee – about 8 cows and caves lounging on the bark mulch dangerously positioned between me and my well deserved Milky Way. Shoo cow Shoo!
Man, what a day. We made it here by noon, but knew it could have been much longer had the sun stayed out, had the rain got stronger turning the trail into hell, or had the storms been of the lighting variety.
Overall we had the perfect window, a storm ripped through Gateway at dinner time, and the forecast for today was grim. We were very concerned. Now at the hut we've had one cloud system after another come over us, some thunder, but not much rain. Hold out till tomorrow baby.
No mechanicals on this trip, no flats, only my suspension seems to have lost more air than expected. In hindsight, we should have had the shop add more to compensate for the 15 lbs added by the panniers. By the way we switched from the hard mounted to the seat post mount. Used the same panniers as before and it all worked out great. Put a small bag off the front handle bars which helped distribute the weight better
We loved to read all the families success with their teenagers. We'll be there soon enough, and having trips like this may lesson some of the difficulties of that time. We hope we can be here in 10 years with ours. By then a new "vitamin I" may be invented to get me through.

The Gwinnett Board of Commissioners will hold a special called meeting Monday, December 10, at 7 p.m. to allow public comment on the proposed 2013 budget.
The planned $1.3 billion budget, a reduction from the 2012 spending plan, was rolled out in November. However, no formal vote on the 2013 budget is planned before January.
Monday's meeting will be at the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center, 75 Langley Drive in Lawrenceville.
The 2013 budget is the first full county budget document since the Service Delivery Strategy (SDS0 settlement was reached in February 2012 between the county and cities in the Gwinnett Municipal Association.
That settlement, among other things, mandated certain payments from the county to the cities and called for service districts to be set up for such things as police.
What are your thoughts on the proposed 2013 Gwinnett budget? Do you plan to attend Monday's hearing? Share your comments below.

Troy used a pair of big innings and got five solid innings from Ryan Sorce to defeat Auburn 11-2 Tuesday night at Riddle-Pace Field; it was the largest margin of victory by the Trojans in the series.
Sorce (2-0), who was making his first start since the 2011 NCAA Regional, struck out a career-high eight batters and allowed just one earned run (two total) to pick up his second win in as many weeks. Sorce struck out six of the first nine batters he faced in the game.
He combined with Nate Hill to strike out 14 Auburn batters in the game; Troy has struck out 41 batters over the last four games and has only struck out eight times as a team.
"Give Troy credit, they
played extremely well and they did exactly what they needed to do to win,"
Auburn Head Coach John Pawlowski said. "They took advantage of a couple of
mistakes and they really did a great job tonight. We have to play better
defense. We had a chance to get out of an inning and we couldn't handle the
ball and consequently put us in real tough spots. This was a poor performance
on our side. We have a lot of work to do."
The Trojans (16-7) broke a 2-all tie with a five-run fifth inning sparked by one of four Auburn errors. Matthew Howard drew a leadoff walk, Garrett Pitts followed with one of his two hits in the game and Josh McDorman walked to load the bases.
Ali Knowles grounded to second but Mitchell Self's throw sailed into left field allowing two runs to score. Following a fly out, Tyler Vaughn drove in a run with an infield single and Logan Pierce hit a two-run double down the line in left field.
Vaughn, Howard and Pitts all finished with two hits in the game. Troy belted out 10 hits as seven of the nine starters finished with a hit in the game; it marked the 11th time in 23 games Troy finished with at least 10 hits and the ninth time with double-digit runs.
Two more errors by the Tigers (15-10) led to four unearned runs for the Trojans in the eighth. Danny Collins led off the frame with a walk and Auburn center fielder Ryan Tella dropped a deep fly ball off the bat of Trae Santos. Howard followed with a sac fly while Josh McDorman added an RBI single and Brandon Brown drove in a run with a double.
Auburn opened the scoring with a home run by Jordan Ebert in the top of the first inning, but the Trojans answered back in the bottom of the frame on back-to-back RBI singles by Howard and Pitts. Auburn tied the game in the third with an unearned run on a sac fly by Cullen Wacker.
Trey Cochran-Gill (0-1) suffered the loss for Auburn after he allowed five runs – one earned – on three hits in 1.1 innings of work. Six Auburn pitches combined to walk eight batters and hit two others.
Troy returns to Sun Belt Conference action this weekend with a three-game series against Middle Tennessee at Riddle-Pace Field. First pitch is set for 6 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 1 p.m. on Sunday.

Bradley senior guard Dyricus Simms-Edwards (Peoria, Ill./Washington Community H.S.) continues to collect hardware for his defensive play this past season. Simms-Edwards Tuesday was named the CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Defensive Player of the Year.
Previously selected the 2013 Missouri Valley Conference Defensive Player of the Year, Simms-Edwards led The Valley in steals and ranked among the national leaders all season, ultimately setting the single-season school mark with 86 thefts. The fifth-best single-season total in MVC history, Simms-Edwards also led the nation in steals per personal foul (1.83) during the regular season and was fourth in steals per turnover (1.58). His eight steals Dec. 29 against Drake were the most by a Valley player since the 2005-06 campaign and was the second-best single-game total in league and school history.
Simms-Edwards' play helped set the tone for a Bradley squad that enjoyed one of the best turnaround seasons in the country during the 2012-13 campaign. The Braves improved their win total by 11 from the 2011-12 season, finishing the year with an 18-17 overall record after advancing to the quarterfinals of the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament.

Peter Facinelli, 39, who plays doctors in the Twilight films and the Nurse Jackie television series, and his ex-wife, actress Jennie Garth, 41, have sold their home in Toluca Lake for $3.99 million. The buyer is The Big Bang Theory co-creator Bill Prady, 53.
The Paul Williams-designed traditional house, built in 1937, has a long Hollywood history. It was once the home of country singer and actor Tex Ritter and the childhood home of his son, the late actor John Ritter. Enlarged since Williams' day and renovated, the house has six bedrooms, eight bathrooms and 8,416 square feet of living space.
There are formal living and dining rooms, a bar room, a game room, a kitchen fireplace, dual master bedroom suites, a gym, a media room and two offices.
The gated, nearly half-acre property contains a five-car garage, an outdoor kitchen and a pool.
Facinelli and Garth purchased the home in 2003 for $1.35 million, according to public records.
Actors Jeremy Renner and Kristoffer Winters have sold their latest house remodel in Holmby Hills for $24 million. The Roaring '20s Art Deco-style mansion was listed at $24.95 million.
The Reserve, which has a wine cellar, a theater, five fireplaces, six bedrooms, 11 bathrooms and 10,005 square feet of living space, was sold furnished and toothbrush ready. Among items included were a stocked bar and linens. The two-acre property features gates, a cobblestone driveway and a pool with spa.
Renner and Winters have been buying and redoing residential properties for more than a decade. The mansion is a showcase of Winters' work, although property records show ownership was in a trust they have used jointly in the past.
The property was purchased in 2010 for $7 million, public records show.
The Encino home where Tom Petty once lived and composed songs has been put up for sale by his ex-wife, Jane Petty, at $3.575 million.
The gated estate of less than an acre features a lagoon pool and waterfall spa. The 9,076 square feet of living space includes a two-story fireplace, a media room, a loft-like gym, five bedrooms and eight bathrooms.
An arson fire at the home in 1987 spared Petty's basement studio, where he stored his guitars and master recordings, according to Los Angeles Times reports at the time.
Petty, 62, is the frontman for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
Styx guitarist and singer Tommy Shaw has sold his Hollywood Hills home to Swedish DJ Eric Prydz for $5.3 million.
The gated hilltop compound includes a two-story main house, two guesthouses, a free-form pool, a cascading spa fountain and a pavilion lounge on less than an acre.
Shaw, 59, has played with the bands Damn Yankees and Shaw Blades too, as well as done solo work. Prydz, 37, also is a Los Angeles-based producer.
Quaid listing
Actor Dennis Quaid, 59, listed a house in Pacific Palisades at $3.15 million Aug. 15 and already has a buyer.
He purchased the remodeled contemporary home for $3.1 million earlier this year, several months after he and Kimberly Quaid filed for divorce a second time.
The 3,421-square-foot home features an open floor plan, four bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. There is a saltwater pool, a spa and patio space.

Software: Autodesk 3ds Max
Elegance, seduction, class, and personality—the Ferrari® brand epitomizes Italy and its unique style that's admired throughout the world. In Maranello, Italy, the hometown of Ferrari, people also identify the Ferrari brand with additional qualities: ingenuity, precision, design excellence, craftsmanship, quality, speed, dedication, and the love of beauty. These qualities also form the basis of most 3D artists' love for their work and are at the core of the Autodesk Media and Entertainment mission to provide superior creative tools that free your creative genius. Tools such as Autodesk® 3ds Max® software.
Image Description: Image: DGFdesign Studio Associato di Architettura e design
The answer was yes, providing they could design a model fit for real production. This meant getting Ferrari's help in studying the concept for the new model. It was to be not just a question of style. The students' car needed to be an exquisite blend of exceptional design, mechanical, electronic and aerodynamic engineering, accuracy, and power. In other words, the four young architects had to produce a model of a Ferrari that a customer would want to buy. This was the challenge that Professor Segoni posed to his students.
Image Description: Image: DGFdesign Studio Associato di Architettura e design
Marco and his fellow students had no doubt about which software to use—Autodesk 3ds Max. "We used 3ds Max software because it's a tool that we can adapt to our needs, a tool that doesn't get in the way of the creative process. With 3ds Max we didn't need to change our process because of software limitations.
Image Description: Image: DGFdesign Studio Associato di Architettura e design
"We were talking to state-of-the-art car manufacturers and we needed to work with state-of-the-art software. During a period of three months, we designed the entire model using 3ds Max software, including the interiors, the rims, and the engine space. The photorealism of 3ds Max is especially useful for a project that needs to be this precise and accurate."

Description: Artisan, Somerset Cheddar.
All of our cheeses are hand-cut, by humans. For this reason, our product weights may fluctuate between 7oz and 9 oz.
The REAL deal; everything you want in a clothbound Cheddar.Black
One of the great tragedies in the history of cheese is that the word Cheddar was never controlled by the government. While all of the other Kings of Cheese (Roquefort, Parmigiano Reggiano, Asiago Allevo, Manchego, etc) are controlled by laws to ensure high quality and prevent imitations produced in other nations, Cheddar was left unguarded, and many producers run its name through the mud.
Fortunately, Keen's, Montgomery's and Westcombe, three farms that have been producing Cheddar the old-fashioned way, convened and established the first British Slow Food Presidium: Artisan Somerset Cheddar. It lists over twenty rules that dictate how true Cheddar is to be made, and the most important of them are as follows: The Cheddar must be made by hand, from the milk of cattle raised on the farm, and that those cattle feed on grasses and grains from the farm. The milk is to be unpasteurized, and once the curds are set, they are smeared in lard and bound in cloth, which allows the cheese to breathe, and therefore mature quicker and absorb the essence of terroir.
While not blisteringly sharp like most American Cheddars, Artisan Somerset Cheddar is bigger and well-rounded in flavor, and boasts a long, lingering finish. This is truly the Cheddar of three centuries ago, and is to be respected as such.

By Jesse J. Wilkerson
For The Herald Bulletin
---- — You can't change the past. It is what it is. Even harder to manipulate is what people perceive to be your past. To get people to see something different than what they most recently experienced can be a daunting task.
Ulysses Grant (commonly known as U.S. Grant, one of our former presidents) led a group of Union army men into the Battle of (Pittsburgh Landing) Shiloh. His army had been surprised and routed out of their camps. Imagine if you will the amount of loss experienced that day. These men were defeated. The morale of the entire army was completely down. How many times have you faced surprise that has thrown you off your pathway to success? The most challenging thing to do is to make an inside adjustment to your personal will.
Grant did just that. As history writes of Grant he refused to concede defeat. Something within him gave confidence to his army and those under his leadership that though the past had handed them a wielding blow they would achieve their goal. They did just that in the next battle. The most prevalent way to change bad circumstances into an asset is to outlast the circumstance. You stay in until you win. You don't allow the circumstance to write your final note of history.
Perseverance is a gift of human existence. It is an inside determination of the human spirit. You were built to win, overcome, succeed and dominate whatever life has to throw at you. The problem with most people is that they focus so much on the problem that it controls their behavior and affirms their fear. The simple affirmation of fear paralyzes their God-given ability to problem solve. It keeps them from focusing on the way out, the solution.
There is no bad situation or circumstance in life that can't be overcome unless you give up. That isn't to say that there are not consequences for bad circumstances or situation, but how you see them will determine where you go next. Focus. Find the faith to refuse to concede defeat!
Have you ever seen someone who decided to quit on life? They stop believing that there is any life in their body. Their organs begin to shut down. Then they are gone. The battle is over. But wait, what happens when we adjust ourselves to believe, have faith and trust that the battle isn't over. We will fight for every breath. We live out the rest of our days positively impacting others and building a legacy for others to live.
I would rather die in faith in God and hope in my fellow man than to cower out to thoughts of loss and despair. You persevere by focusing on the truth. You give yourself to the vision of a more constant reality than that of defeat.

The Government has reduced import duty on gold findings to four per cent from the earlier 10 per cent. Gold findings are small components such as hooks, clasps, clamps, screw-back, pins and catches that are used in holding different parts of jewellery together.
The development has come as a major relief for the gem and jewellery sector which has been fighting a major slowdown in demand.
Gold jewellery demand has fallen 30 per cent to 125 tonnes in the second quarter of this fiscal due to the economic slowdown and a sharp run-up in gold prices. In value terms, demand was down 10 per cent to Rs 34,950 crore, in the June quarter.
Gold findings are imported to manufacture the finished product for sale in the domestic market or for exports.
The import duty on gold findings was first increased to Rs 750 per 10 grams from Rs 500 in Budget 2010-11. It was further enhanced to five per cent of the import value in January 2012 and subsequently doubled in the latest Budget.
The increase in manufacturing and incidental costs of the jewellery sector has made India uncompetitive in the global markets. This has led to a 14 per cent dip in gold jewellery exports to $798 million in the first five months of this fiscal.
The Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) has raised the issue with both the Department of Commerce and the Department of Revenue and has had subsequent meetings with the concerned secretaries and senior officials.

On a "Black Monday" in Green Bay that few could have imagined while the Packers were flirting with perfection much of the season, there are any number of possible reasons being bandied about by team observers in an attempt to explain the defending Super Bowl champion's worst performance of the season by far in a 37-20 divisional-playoff drubbing by the Giants.
After becoming the first team in league history to win as many as 15 games and then lose its postseason opener, there are more than a few excuses worth considering one day after a decidedly subpar effort on both sides of the ball that was lame enough to trigger a very unusual mass exodus from Lambeau Field midway through the fourth quarter:
• Did the tragic drowning of Michael Philbin, the 21-year-old son of offensive coordinator Joe Philbin, leave the Packers just too emotionally spent?
• Did rumors that Packers assistants Winston Moss, Dom Capers and Philbin could be coveted as head coaches elsewhere add to the distractions above and beyond preparing for a Giants team that was living large off the exact same kind of mojo the Packers were feeling a year ago at this time?
• Did Packers head coach Mike McCarthy make a tactical mistake, risking the possibility of too much rust on his squad after deciding to rest so many key players that were healthy enough to play in the regular-season finale, including Aaron Rodgers, who was playing Sunday for the first time since Christmas night?
• Did the absence of Pro Bowl FS Nick Collins for much of the season because of a career-threatening neck injury, which resulted in a lack of cohesiveness in the pass defense week in and week out, finally takes its ultimate toll at the worst possible time?
Let's just say that the confluence of all these factors could be greatly responsible for the very hollow feeling hovering over Packers Nation, although there's no denying one other fact: While the Packers stumbled and bumbled from beginning to end, the Giants simply played their butts off.
The PFW Spin
We've known all year that the Packers were playing with fire because their defense, Collins or no Collins, was laden with shortcomings — most notably a virtually nonexistent pass rush that put undue pressure on the secondary. While Giants QB Eli Manning was masterful, particularly on third down, the fact that he had time enough to make a pot of coffee on most of his dropbacks certainly helped his cause.
Looking for a few stats that speak volumes? It's bad enough that the Packers managed only six sacks in their last seven games counting Sunday. It's worse that only six of the team's 30 sacks on the season were registered by defensive linemen.
Especially after watching the Giants' D-line inflict tide-turning pressure on a Packers' starting offensive line that was operating together fully for the first time since Week Three, it would be a surprise if Green Bay GM Ted Thompson did not make pass rushers a major priority in the draft, as well as perhaps in free agency, which "TT" usually shuns.
Three other needs that must be addressed in no particular order are cornerback, safety and offensive tackle. It was impossible to ignore how much aging CB Charles Woodson, who along with OLB Clay Matthews provides the heart and soul of the Packers' "D," was a nonfactor Sunday. Same goes for aging OLT Chad Clifton, who ran out of gas early on and had to be replaced by Marshall Newhouse. As far as safety goes, while Morgan Burnett actually had a decent game, fellow starter Charlie Peprah was putrid, particularly when he bounced off Hakeem Nicks like a superball when trying to tackle the Giants' wideout on what turned out to be a 66-yard score.
As for the offense, it was a simple case of Rodgers just not having it — an unlikely handicap that filtered down to his teammates. Uncharacteristic fumbles (before Sunday, FB John Kuhn had never put the ball on the ground), errant throws and one dropped pass after another conspired to drop the previously perfect Packers out of this year's postseason derby.
Suffice it to say, it was a disappointment of "Giant" proportions that will linger long into the offseason.

Somerset chip lovers urged to use the oven during National Chip Week
7:00pm Monday 17th February 2014 in News
CHIP lovers are being urged to take care when they indulge in one of the nation's favourite foods.
Throughout National Chip Week, Devon and Somerset Fire bosses are warning people not to leave chip pans unattended... or use them all together.
They say a simple switch to using an oven can prevent a disaster.
Fire investigation officer Mike Burroughs said: "From the chip shop to the kitchen table, chips will quite rightly be on the menu this week. But the smallest distraction when using a hot chip pan could lead to a fire in a matter of moments.
"Oven chips are a safer and healthier way to enjoy your favourite, but if you do choose to deep fat fry please don't leave the pan unattended.
"If your pan does catch light, don't throw water over it– get out, stay out and call 999."

good location
tired and dirty interior small rooms not suitable for a family
location is a definite plus and the history and decor from the past is a feature that had us return to show family on this holiday.
since our last visit the hotel is looking a little rundown and tired, and in need of a good clean up and the rooms, based on ours, need a paint and freshen up. The bathrooms need a proper vanity as there is no bench space. The dark brown paintwork in the passageways is very depressing and looks dull and dirty. hopefully improvements are on the way for this once spectacular hotel. The bar at the pool also needs a goos clean as it smells of stale beer. I have a hotel and would never allow this to happen if it was being run efficiently.
Staff were so helpful and sent up chocolate strawberries to our room as we were celebrating our honeymoon. The room was superb; clean, functional and very well furnished. Excellent location for sight seeing. Best part of the hotel was the restaurant - best burgers I have ever eaten, yummy cocktails, open 24hrs and reasonably priced.
Valet parking was pricey.
Great location. Lovely hotel. Famous people stayed here!!! Staff were friendly and helpful and gave us a lovely room!
Pool area and food / drinking options excellent with fantastic service and good quality food
Rooms although large were a little dated and could do with updating
staff and cleanness
to much money on a 4 star
Awesome ambiance and great pool. Rooms are a bit smaller then other hotels, but still very nice. The staff was great in helping us choose restaurants and setting up rides.
Beds were comfortable Pool area was great Could see the Chinese theatre from our room - central and easy location for very touristy location.
Noisy location day and night - plus renovation work noise. Bathrooms dated
Location, decor, staff.
Having to pay for wifi and breakfast even after paying for a pool cabana which is not cheap. Have stayed in hotels of similar quality and not had to pay for wifi! I found that quite ridiculous.
The architecture, particularly the main lobby off Hollywood Boulevard, although pity with all the renovations the fountain was empty
Most things, first of all the cost was extortionate, we were by the pool in a Cabana room, bathroom wasn't clean, flush the toilet and it sounds like a jet engine (not must in your room). They have parties by the pool and even on nights when no one is out there they still leave the music on till 12pm - 2am (as is apparent hotel policy). We were tools internet was an additional charge (to our $700 per night room charge) so I didn't bother, only to find the next day there is a free WiFi service at 512k speed, more than adequate for most work emails (and searching for an alternative hotel). I'm not usually one to post a negative review but I can tell you, with approximately 150 hotel nights a year, I'm reasonable well justified to say this is my WORST hotel experience ever
Happy hour
Cost of wifi , dark & dingy , small rooms , to put our party on same floor meant an upgrade of $100 per room , leaky shower , shall we go on !!!!
concierge ALBERT gave us e vary precious advice about UBER taxi service, good value for money; also the pool was very pleasant in the middle of such a crowded city!
Location. Weekdays service was good, food was excellent and staff was pleasant.
The hotel allows non guest to use services and facilities like the pool. Turns into an all day into the wee hours nightclub on the weekend so don't plan on getting any rest. No privacy or place to relax unless you want to hide in your room. The overflow of guests greatly reduced service for beverages, food and general concierge support. Getting something to drink or car service could literally take an hour to get order in. Avoid weekends.
Great location. Special thanks to Millie for all her help and for sending up some champagne and cake when she heard it was my wife's birthday.
Location, being upgraded to a $1500 a night suite on arrival because our room was unavailable, decor, reception staff were very friendly & efficient.
Mandatory valet parking & fee
Location, location, location! Close to metro - 5min train ride to universal studios
A bit pricey for what you get, but you really are just paying to be in the centre of everything.
I like it so much staying here. The location, swimming pool, customer service and almost everything about this hotel was great!!
perfect location
Location was good for 1-2 days in LA
Put a hold on your credit card for every individual amount rather than just bill you at the end or your stay. Noisy air conditioning
Fun atmosphere Cool bars and restaurants located in the hotel
The rooms seemed kind of dated and drab. The noise from the pool party was loud even though my room was directly over the pool.
Really great being right on Hollywood Blvd. Great "Old Hollywood" feel with furnishings and style. Very comfortable bed. Overall a great experience.
Not real user friendly. Difficult to navigate the amenities available. A little noisy the first night.
The location, the history and the architecture are all perfect.
The Roosevelt is going through an identity crisis. Once the classiest spot in town, they seem now to be focused exclusively on attracting single 20-somethings looking to hook-up at the too-loud pool. It's like a bad Vegas-Strip hotel packaged inside what was once one of the jewels in Los Angeles' crown.
Friendly staff, central location in Hollywood
Sketchy area at night.
close to the sight walkway distance
nosiy of ice machine
The pool area and location was good.
The rooms lacked, they were old, not very clean and didn't even include coffee in the morning.

Hi: 21° Lo:9°
By Harriet Ernstsons Friday 10 January 2014 Updated: 10/01 10:07
JENNI Smith is the charity's children and young people's practitioner for the Redditch and Bromsgrove area.
This means she is funded by Macmillan to head a team of volunteers at the Primrose Hospice providing support to children before and after a bereavement.
As well as palliative care, the hospice also provides counselling and family support for adults, complementary therapy, a day hospice, carers at home and a Citizen's Advice Bureau workers.
Jenni's role is to offer practical help and meet the emotional needs of patients and their families, doing outreach work in schools and assisting after a bereavement with family and one-to-one sessions. This means working in partnership with a variety of people, including the team of volunteers, the hospice itself and Macmillan nurses.
"I was obviously aware of Macmillan before becoming a Macmillan professional, like many though I hadn't realised the scope of their work and the variety of professional roles which they fund," she said.
"To me, as for many others, Macmillan meant nurses, coffee mornings and sponsorship, but I have since discovered Macmillan is this and so much more.
"I feel privileged to be working for two organisations that have, and continue to, touch so many."
A charity spokeswoman added: "Jenni's help has made so much difference to the young people with whom she works.
Being able to offer understanding and support when they need it most is invaluable. Providing a listening ear, allowing children to be honest and open and giving them the opportunity to talk to someone outside the family is so important and means so much.
"Cancer is the toughest fight that many of us can face, that's why it is important that the right team is in place to give appropriate support every step of the way."
