Ginter ready for what could be last start
Cleveland (44-54) at Los Angeles (60-39), Tues., 10:05 p.m. ET
ANAHEIM -- Of the many surprises involving the Indians in 2008, the biggest might be that Matt Ginter made a start for this club -- and before the All-Star break, no less.And as it turns out, Ginter will have another spot start for the Indians on Tuesday night in Anaheim. Given the organizational depth in the Tribe's starting pitching department at the outset of Spring Training -- CC Sabathia, Fausto Carmona, Jake Westbrook, Paul Byrd, Cliff Lee, Jeremy Sowers, Aaron Laffey and Adam Miller were all on board -- it seemed implausible that a journeyman like Ginter could sneak into the mix. But injuries and the Sabathia trade made it happen. "You always want to think you've got a chance," Ginter said. "I went [into the season] with the mind-set that I could make a good impression on them." Ginter was called up as a warm body from Triple-A Buffalo to make the July 12 start against the Rays. But he made a good impression by turning in five scoreless innings in which he allowed just five hits with no walks and five strikeouts. "I was locating my pitches pretty well, and it made a big difference," he said. "I got ahead of hitters." The end result was the 30-year-old Ginter's first win in the Majors since May 21, 2004. That didn't quite make up for his nearly three-year wait to get back to the bigs, but it was still a pretty special achievement for Ginter. "It means a lot," he said. "You persevere, you keep grinding it out and you hope that somebody will give you a chance. Once you get that chance, you want to take full advantage of it." Ginter's chance with the Indians is likely winding to a close. Carmona will return from the disabled list to rejoin the rotation Saturday, and the Indians will stick it out with the struggling Jeremy Sowers, who could be a part of their '09 rotation plans. But while this stint with the Tribe is probably a brief one, Ginter is using it as a lesson in the value of perseverance. "It's always easier said than done," he said. "You have to prove it to yourself. To still get outs in the big leagues is a pretty nice result." Pitching matchup
CLE: RHP Matt Ginter (1-0, 0.00 ERA)
In his first Major League start since 2005, Ginter gave the Indians more than they could have expected in a pinch. The 30-year-old righty tossed five scoreless innings and rarely sniffed trouble in his first Major League win in four years. He struck out five and walked none, while only using an efficient 65 pitches. Ginter has struggled against the Angels, compiling a 8.72 ERA in one start and eight relief appearances. LAA: RHP Jered Weaver (8-8, 4.03 ERA)
Weaver continued his recent run of solid outings by throwing six strong innings against the Rangers on July 9. He allowed just one earned run on seven hits, but the Angels lost the game on Josh Hamilton's game-winning home run in the ninth inning off closer Francisco Rodriguez. Weaver has allowed two earned runs or fewer in each of his last four starts. Tidbits

Air and Simple Gifts: Public domain shines within latest compositions
I was so happy all day long on Tuesday, watching the country, indeed the world, watch us welcome a new administration. One of the high-points was the fabulous rendering by four of the world's finest musicians (even if they recorded it in the warmth) of John Williams' composition, "Air and Simple Gifts," based on the familiar Shaker melody referenced in the title. Because Simple Gifts belongs to the world, John was free as the air to weave his beautiful composition around it.
It was and is a simple gift, that we let our creative works become the seeds of new creative life at some point. Why, I wonder, have we come to think that the point at which we give our creative wealth to the children of the future should be in the neighborhood of, on average, a century after we created them? How on earth did we get to the point where we believe that that's a good idea?
Listen to the performance. Savor the complexity built around the simplicity. Beautiful isn't it?

We sailed for 16 days and had nothing but outstanding positive experience from the staff. Of all the cruises, I have never seen a Captain so engaging and social walking around the ship morning, noon and night talking with all the guests. The entertainment was some of the best I have ever seen. I expected to have to endure the Royal Caribbean dancers for 16 nights and this was not the case. They flew in all types of acts that were top Las Vegas quality, some getting standing ovations.
We had the Grand Suite which was a first for us and I don't know how I will ever go back to a regular room. More space than we could use, dual sinks and overall just beautiful.
The service was just outstanding and as a Diamond member the 5:00 pm to 8:30 pm free cocktails are also a great plus. The itinerary was fantastic as we stopped in some very out of the way ports that you normally would not visit.
In closing, I still highly recommend RCCL but they do need to pay a little more attention to the evening dining experience.

Celebrity soccer match on Sunday
CONNECTICUT, USA: Several dancehall artistes are scheduled to lace up their boots at the annual celebrity soccer match at Weaver High School in Hartford, Connecticut, on Sunday.
The match — organised by the New York-based Dem Man Yah Entertainment and Bell Powerhouse — will see a Jamaica All-Star artiste team battling a United States All-Star team for the Jamaica 50th Independence Cup.
"We have always hosted the event at a venue in the Bronx or Brooklyn in New York. This year, as part of our Jamaica 50 celebrations in the Diaspora, we decided to do it in Connecticut as a sign of gratitude for the loyal support we have received from the large and growing Jamaican population that now lives there," said Dougie Laughman from Dem Man Yah Promotions.
The US All-Star team includes: DJ Roy; Dubb Master Chris from Irie Jam Radio; Brother Gary of WLIB radio; veteran Jamaican footballer Douglas Bell, selectors Jagga B and Glama Wayne, Chris Chin of VP Records; and, DJ Red Fox.
The Jamaican contingent comprises: Junior Kelly; Christopher Martin, Delly Ranks, Twin of Twins, Frisco Kid, Mad Cobra, Captain Barkey, Pretty Boy Floyd, and Macka Diamond.
The organisers have also called on veteran sound system selector Sky Juice to spearhead the attack for the Jamaica All-Stars team from the bench.
With Jamaicans in the diaspora pumped up about the Olympics Games, event organisers have included a special 50-metre sprint as an added attraction.
Confirmed to compete are selector Sky Juice who will battle Pretty Boy Floyd while Whistleman will go up against radio host Brother Gary.
"We are urging everyone to wear your Jamaican colours and bring your flags to the celebrity soccer match as we celebrate Jamaica 50 this year," said Laughman.

Robert D (Bob) Howell passed away peacefully at his home in Statesboro, Ga., on Friday, July 5, 2013. He was born on March 28, 1933, in Kokomo to Ruth (Perrin) and Kenneth Howell. On Nov. 25, 1954, at Grace United Methodist Church in Kokomo, Bob married Beverly (Bev) Absher. She survives.
As a young boy, his favorite pastime was playing basketball in the neighborhood or at the YMCA. This was a passion that followed him through the years. He graduated from Kokomo High School, where he played basketball for four years. He went on to play ball at Lees McRae Junior College and then Virginia Tech.
Bob was drafted into the Army in January 1956 and served for two years, followed by four years of reserves. He worked at The Coca-Cola Bottling Co. for 43 years, first as office manager, then plant manager. He loved his work there and the people he worked with through the years. Prior to working at Coca-Cola, he worked at Lincoln Finance Corp.
Bob enjoyed playing golf and his monthly poker group. He also loved fishing, especially his annual fishing trips with dear friends. He enjoyed traveling and he and Bev took a number of fun trips, many with friends or family. He was a lifetime member of Elks Club. He attended Grace United Methodist Church.
Bob was a wonderful husband and father. He was blessed with many terrific friends and loving family members.
Surviving with his wife of 58 years is his daughter, Leigh. David, Matthew and Spencer Wesche also survive and were like grandchildren in Bob and Bev's lives. Also surviving is David Hunt, a longtime family friend and "son" they never had. Marilyn Qualls also survives as their recently "adopted" daughter, friend and caregiver.
He was preceded in death by his parents and first daughter, Lisa.
There will be no services in Statesboro. The family asks that his family, friends and co-workers take time to celebrate Bob's wonderful life.
We would like to thank the wonderful people at Advantage Hospice in Statesboro for their wonderful care and advice.
Contributions may be made to the Kokomo Humane Society, the Kokomo Rescue Mission or a place of the donor's choice.
Arrangements were made with Wood Funeral Home, Metter, Ga.

Beginner, Die Cutting, Fall, Hand Stitching, Kendra McCracken, Mixed Media,
Fiskars and Duck Tape are teaming up to make the world smarter and more colorful together.
It's so easy with the new Fiskars® Duck® Edition scissors!
Our schedules can become hectic with all the planning, preparing, and celebrating, and it's easy to let all the work, rather than the joy of family and community, become the focus of our lives. Keeping a gratitude journal during the month of November is a good way to help keep our minds fixed on the bigger picture. Yes, I'm suggesting adding one more thing to your plate! But a gratitude journal does not require a lot of your time to complete each day. It includes adding a quote about having a grateful attitude, writing out your thoughts on how the quote pertains to your life, and maybe taking a photo that can be added to the book later if you, like I, don't print your photos at home. Taking 10-15 minutes a day to be still and allow your mind to be positive is worth making time for.
To begin, cut 2 pieces of chipboard to 5.5 inches x 5.5 inches. Cut 2 pieces of fabric for the cover to 7 inches x 13 inches. You can jump down in the instructions to the steps on embellishing the cover at this point to make it easier on your sewing machine. If you are confident your machine can stitch through chipboard, you can embellish the cover later. Stitch the 2 pieces of fabric together (wrong sides together) using a 1/2 inch seam allowance and leave one end open. Slip the chipboard pieces into the opening of the cover pushing one all the way to the end and leaving the other closer to the opening so there is a gap between them. Stitch the opening closed.
Using the Fuse and a variety of dies, cut 15 shapes from a variety of patterned papers. In place of a few of the die cuts, I used pieces of book paper.
Using a Fiskars paper trimmer, cut 4 sheets of cardstock in half. This will leave you with 8 pieces of cardstock that are 12 inches x 6 inches. Fold these in half and stack them and you'll have a book signature. When the sheets are folded in half, the edges will be uneven. Use the paper trimmer to even them up. If you are concerned about your sewing machine stitching through this much paper, separate the cardstock sheets into 2 signatures and work with them separately. Lay the signature(s) opened up, on a flat surface and slip a die cut shape between each of the pages making sure the die cuts extend past the fold. If you are working with 2 signatures instead, the left over shape will be added when the signatures are sewn to the book cover. Stitch the signature(s) to the center of the fabric cover, in the area where there is no chipboard reinforcement. If using 2 signatures, the extra die cut should be added and sewn in between the 2 signatures.
To create the leaf embellishment for the cover, I've followed the example of Fiskateer Rebecca Peck and pushed my die to do something it wasn't designed to do. This particular die is designed for paper and cardstock. If you flip the cutting plate over so the the rubber side is up and the plastic side instead comes in contact with the die, the hard plastic surface allows the die to now cut through the fabric. But you can see it will also etch the design into the plastic. The etching is permanent so only use this technique if you are OK with this. I also used iron on interfacing to give more body to the fabric and help prevent it from fraying.
Layer the fabric leaf over a doily or other materials of your choice and further embellish the cover as desired, stitching everything to the front cover.
I added a quote to my opening page that sums up my purpose for the book.
You can pre-embellish the pages of the book so adding your thoughts and taking a photo each day is all you'll need to do. I also Googled "gratitude quotes" and compiled a list of them so I can just choose one each day according to the events of my life at the time.
I have used a variety of chipboard and sticker numbers. I used a date stamp on some pages and made some punched borders from masking tape, a trick I learned some time back from Stephanie Howell.
To punch masking tape, first adhere it to the edge of a piece of wax paper. Gently remove it and stick it to your project.
Since the wax paper now had a pretty punched edge, I used it to create a pocket for one of the pages. I'll write out my journaling on a piece of paper and slip it in the envelope.
At the end of November, the final page can be used to reflect back on how finding something to be grateful for every day, even on the rotten days, has impacted your life.
Two 7 inch x 13 inch pieces of fabric
Doily (optional)
Patterned papers
Fabric scraps and trims for embellishing
4 sheets of cardstock, masking tape (optional)

Annette Bosworth, self-claimed daughter of the prairie, has officially announced she is seeking the Republican Party's nomination for U.S. Senate in 2014.
Bosworth had been exploring her decision to run for senate for about a month. She announced Friday she would seek one of South Dakota's senate seats and made the official announcement during a press conference Tuesday near her home-town of Plankinton.
During the press conference, Bosworth said you can't run from doing what's right even if the experts say the odds are against you. She said she has a palpable frustration with the way things are done in the country, which is causing the U.S. to lose its freedom, fiscal responsibility and morals.
"The voters don't want another go along person or career politician," Bosworth said.
She also expressed her concern for Obamacare, and as a physician she said it will be destructive to the nation. Bosworth said it kills research and quality care to patients.
Bosworth pledged to repeal and replace Obamacare with a patient first plan.
Bosworth operates the private practice Meaningful Medicine. It's a mobile-clinic practice that delivers primary care with an emphasis on prevention and accountability.

By DAVID VANTRESS
It's not easy being an Alabama fan in a sea of Notre Dame blue and gold.
Just ask Goshen High School sophomore Gale Immel.
Immel, an athlete at Goshen, has been a Crimson Tide fan for several years. She became a fan of the team while on a spring break trip to the South with her family.
This did not sit all that well with her father, Chris, a former Goshen assistant football coach — and Notre Dame fan.
The situation has led to some good-natured teasing at the Immel household.
"My dad's always given me some grief about it, but it's been even worse this year," Immel said.
Immel's Tide gear collection includes some jerseys and accessories for her golf bag.
In addition to the Notre Dame fans in the house, Immel also has to contend with a younger brother, Jack, 12, who is an Oregon fan.
But for this week, Jack has become — wait for it — a Notre Dame fan, donning a Manti Te'o jersey and posing for a photo with his older sister.
As for Immel's game-watching plans? She's had to outsource those a bit.
"My dad told me I wasn't allowed to watch the game here unless I was going to root for Notre Dame," Immel said with a laugh.
So she will be headed over to her grandparents' house to root for her beloved Crimson Tide.
As for the $64,000 question: Who's going to win the BCS National Championship Game this Monday night when all the hype comes to an end and the two teams finally take to the field at Sun Life Stadium in Miami?
Immel doesn't buy into the oddmakers' prediction that the Crimson Tide will win by 10 points or more.
"I think it's going to be closer than that," Immel said. "The Notre Dame defense is very good."

A Wyoming County man is charged with felony animal cruelty for allegedly dragging a dog with his 4-wheeler.
Investigators tell us 64-year old Jerry Lee Hill confessed to the incident, adding Hill told them he wasn't able to pick up the dog and he wasn't sure if the dog was dead.
However, witness statements to investigators say the dog was alive at the time.
The dog was later found on a rock pile with a bullet hole in the head.
Bond for Hill was set at $5,000.

A lawsuit filed by current Madera County Sheriff Deputy Ian Roth alleges years of harassment and misconduct from within the Madera County Sheriffs Office.
Allegations against the sheriffs office include accusations of both physical and verbal altercations stemming from incidents as far back as of December, 2005.
The complaint, filed on Dec. 10, 2013, states the sheriff's office has a history of "condoning inappropriate, abusive and harassing behaviors" on the plaintiff, Roth, including degrading comments about his wife, weight, and religious denomination.
The lawsuit claims Roth's supervisors allowed continued harassment and alleges after Roth filed official complaints, he faced difficulty with promotion and further discrimination.
Roth's complaint also alleges the department developed a "code of silence" and "acquiescence" that began to develop between deputies in order to protect other employees within the department.
Lawrance Bohm, of Bohm Law Group, who is representing Roth, says the harassment is of "astronomical proportions" and is one of the worst cases he has ever seen inside a county department.
"The only thing worse they could have done was shoot him, or beat him up physically. They have done everything possible to make this man's life a living hell," Bohm said.
Roth, who was hired in December of 2005, as a Bailiff for Madera County Superior Court under Judge Jennifer Detjen, said the harassment began when he and Detjen began working out with one another at the same gym.
It was then Roth claims he first encountered one of the defendants, Sergeant Michael Pace, during his morning workout routines.
Roth claims Pace began harassing him and accused Roth of "engaging in sexual relations with the judge." According to Roth, Pace went as far as to start rumors about the two and asking on several occasions "how is she in bed?"
According to the lawsuit, in 2007, the Bailiffs Unit and the Patrol Division merged together forming one department which allowed deputies the ability to rotate between jobs. In 2007 Roth, hoping to promote himself, elected to rotate and began patrolling and training for the position.
The claim states Roth was assigned by Sgt. Majeski to receive his field training from Pace. Roth claims, almost immediately Pace began again harassing him, referring to Roth as "fat Jew" and stating that the sheriff's office was a "Christian company," that "Jesus is King" and that the "Sabbath Day is on Sunday not Friday."
According to the claim, Roth says Pace accused him of being a "typical Jew, short, fat and with squiggly hair down to the side of his face."
After several incidences Roth told a fellow deputy that he believed Sergeant Pace was a bad supervisor because of his consistent harassment and the way he treated Roth.
The lawsuit claims a few days later, while at dinner, and in front of several other deputies, Pace approached Roth and asked "Do you have a problem with me?" and proceeded to threaten Roth with physical repercussions. According to Roth, Pace challenged Roth to a physical altercation. Roth says Pace told him, "Let's go outside and handle this like men."
In the report Roth says he did his best to defuse the situation by denying the allegations out of fear of the ramifications to standing up against Roth. The situation become so grim that according to court documents, filed on the defendants behalf, Roth left the dinner soon after.
The suit also accuses Pace of showing pornographic videos of women doing a striptease and other "inappropriate" images when there were no calls for service.
Roth claims the harassment escalated upon the birth of his daughter in 2009 when Pace told Roth, again in front of other deputies, that his sons were going to have intercourse with his daughter and "run through your little girl in the back seat of my car."
In addition to the accusations and obscene behavior Pace would conduct games with the deputies inside the department, including making Roth "deep throat" a banana in front of his peers and shoving his genitalia in Roth's face. For years Roth says Pace would repeat the story of the banana to colleagues.
In the claim Roth says in December 2011, Pace escalated his harassment in the form of physical abuse.
After a small confrontation in regards to a missed call during Roth's shift, in which Roth claims he missed because his computer went down, the suit claims Pace slapped Roth with his right hand across Roth's left cheek and then laughed at him.
Following the altercations, the lawsuit says Roth immediately went to his superior, Majeski's office, who was on the phone at the time and told Roth to hold on, however, Deputy Roth was too upset and left the workplace. The following day Roth approached Majeski and asked him not to do anything about the incident because, like many of the others, anytime Pace was involved, nothing would be done. Something Majeski supposably agreed with. Roth also feared retaliation and being labeled a "rat."
According to the court document, it wasn't until later that Majeski texted him and informed Roth he "couldn't sleep" and needed to file the report. The report was filed with Salvador, the current undersheriff. Salvador conducted an investigation between December 2011, and January 2012.
During the investigation, Roth claims Lieutenant Salvador told Roth that he searched the county computer hard-drives and located derogatory messages on them from Pace regarding deputy Roth and his religion.
It is unknown when, but following the investigation Pace was demoted to deputy for a short time and Roth was told to stay away from the sheriffs's office while Pace gave his morning briefing.
Deputy Roth was required to wait for roughly an hour before he was contacted by Sergeant Majeski and told he could proceed to work now that Pace was out of the office.
Harassment allegedly continued in the form of both physical and mental altercations in which Pace would continuously harass Roth to the point that Roth claims he had several panic attacks. In September 2012, Roth filed for stress leave and used his own built up time to take a leave of absence.
In the Summer of 2013, Pace was re-promoted to Sergeant and in March Deputy Roth filed a formal complaint with the Department of Fair Employment and Housing and received a "Right to Sue Letter."
On May 1, 2013, Roth received his first evaluation in five years and received good reviews and excelled in all requirements.
In October 2013, Roth was placed in a quarterly range training schedule with Pace. Upon notification, Deputy Roth immediately emailed the county and asked to be placed into a different group showing clear acknowledgment that there was a formal problem between the two.
Salvador said because of the nature of the case and the sensitivity he was unable to make any comments but in a article in the Madera Tribune was quoted saying he did everything he was trained to do when investigating the case.
"I did what I was supposed to do Salvador said. "And as Sheriff I'll do what were supposed to do and hold people to the same high standard that I already expect."
Bohm, said he handles many government whistle blowing cases in government, but cases involving peace officers are the most challenging because you are accusing those who swore to protect and serve of doing things that conflict with the credo to protect and serve.
"The lack of administrative effort and oversight to address these issues is appalling," Bohm said. "I have heard nothing from the county in regards to resolving the case."
Bohm made it clear that his client wants nothing more than justice and hopes those who should will be held responsible for their actions.
"One of the things that Mr. Roth wants out of this case is someone to take responsibility and change," Bohm said. "The most effective instrument for bringing about change is public disgrace. It's not that he wants to disgrace the department but their actions are disgraceful."
The first settlement conference is scheduled for July 2015. Meanwhile, both Roth and Pace remain employees of the Madera County Sheriff's Office.

Today's weather forecast: Dreamy
1. Repeating garnishes? That's lazy. We don't want to see the same arugula salad beneath our burrata, atop our pork chop milanese, and beside our dinner date's branzino. Mix it up.
2. The temper tantrums some chefs threw in June over the loss of foie graswas overkill. Serving 10, 20, 30 courses of fatty duck liver? That's not an act of protest—that's how you get gout.
3. Sticking spleen in a sandwich doesn't count as nose-to-tail. Offal for offal's sake does the trend a disservice and has us yearning fondly for the days of the chicken breast.
4. There is such a thing as a big plate. We're on to you: Four small plates at $12 apiece is less painful (at first) than one $48 entrée, but in the end we're paying the same—often more.

Fascinating Insect Facts: Did You Know?
- There are about 100,000 known species of insects in Europe and a quarter of those are found in the UK.
- Most unique insect? The Lundy Cabbage flea beetle lives only along a strip 1½ miles long, 30 yards wide on the island of Lundy in the Bristol Channel and nowhere else in the world.
- Most travelled? Painted Lady butterflies fly each year from North Africa to the UK. Occasional monarch butterflies and American Painted Ladies make it to the UK across the Atlantic. Billions of ladybirds cross the English Channel and North Sea from France and Holland to the UK – in some years the strandline is made up of millions of dead ladybirds that didn't quite make it.
- Most sophisticated communicators? Honeybees – in the hive they can communicate the way to a good patch of nectar flowers, its distance and direction, mainly by the way they waggle their bottom.
- Most loved? Probably ladybirds (53 species of them!) – beloved of children's rhymes and many are useful predators of greenfly – so loved by children, mums and dads, farmers and gardeners.
- Most reviled? Cockroaches – which is sad because we have cute little native cockroaches which live harmlessly beside the sea and amongst heather.
- Most feared? Wasps and hornets – for their stings – a shame because they are useful predators of injurious insects in horticulture. Worker wasps often go on a drunken aggressive binge on fermenting fruit in the autumn – attacking us vertebrates to remind us that black and yellow means "beware!"
- Most unappetizing? All insects! Nearly all cultures of the world except those originating from North Western Europe are happy to eat insects, with many delicacies such as deep fried cockroaches, mole crickets and water beetles, midge paté, and grilled palm weevil grubs – and with specialist cook-books. Our aversion to eating insects is an illogical taboo.

By Melissa Daniels | PA Independent
HARRISBURG — It took less than 90 seconds for the House of Representatives to decide to create a new state commission and authorize $15 million in tax credits devoted to improving Pennsylvania's brand and tourism.
The House voted 189-6 just after noon Tuesday to create the Pennsylvania Tourism Commission, and 194-1 to establish a tax credit for businesses who give money to support the commission's fund. The bills passed without floor debate, and sponsor House Tourism Chairman Jerry Stern, R-Blair, said he was encouraged by the bipartisan support.
Stern said he hopes to see more of a public-private partnership approach to tourism, a $37 billion industry in Pennsylvania. He said a commission could provide continuity that an administration-managed tourism package can't.
Pennsylvania has had four tourism themes in as many governors, he said.
"It's a bill that hopefully will move Pennsylvania forward, and take some of the bureaucracy out of things," he said.
Not all members saw it Stern's way. At least two of the six "no" votes on the commission's creation took into consideration the expansion of government. Rep. Steve Bloom, R-Cumberland, told PA Independent his vote against the measure represents his opposition to "another new permanent bureaucracy, no matter how well-intentioned."
Another member who opposed the measure, Rep. Daryl Metcalfe, R-Butler, said the bill expanded bureaucracy.
"I think we have enough commissions," he said.
Stern disagrees his proposal expands government, giving that commission members include private sector expertise.
"That argument doesn't fly, that you're creating more government," he said. "Actually, you're getting the government out of this equation and turning it over to the experts in the field."
The commission will be an 11-member board of governor appointees. Members would come from the private sector, and from tourism promotional agencies and associations for restaurant, lodging and retail industries, among others.
Members wouldn't get a salary but could be reimbursed for expenses. Stern said it's likely the commission would have a small staff. DCED has five employees dedicated to tourism right now.
A fiscal note, created when the House Appropriations Committee took up the bill, admits "the annual operating costs for this newly established Commission are unknown at this point."
The commission is charged with spending up to $3 million from the Department of Community and Economic Development's marketing budget.
On top of that, the commission could have up to $15 million from a new tax credit program as outlined in HB 1216. The tax credit allows businesses to deduct up to 100 percent of their donation to the PA Tourism Commission against their personal income tax, corporate net income tax or capital stock and franchise tax.
Carolyn Boser Newhouse, deputy secretary of innovation and investment in the Department of Community and Economic Development, said the State Tourism Office is already tapping into the private sector for partnerships, through the Pennsylvania Tourism Partnerships.
The office awards matching grants for private sector companies that step forward to help promote a certain region or attraction, like wildlife or retail.
"We have the private sector and the tourism industry at the table with us, and supportive of us," she said.
Newhouse said it's "a good solution" under the budget of $3 million. The office also runs VisitPA.com. Other states, like Michigan, spend $30 million for their branding efforts, she said.
Though Newhouse wouldn't comment on what the Legislature's plans might mean for DCED's tourism arm in the long run, she pointed out that a new tax credit means lost revenue.
"We're trying to be fiscally responsible," she said. "We recognize the challenges ahead, so let's look for different solutions other than more tax credits."

A Girl's Guide to Her Colon
There's a reason you say that you feel things in your gut: It's where 7,000 strains of bacteria live, working to break down and digest the food you eat. It houses an elegant network of nerves second in size only to your brain's. About 90 percent of the feel-good hormone serotonin is made in your gastrointestinal tract. And the microbes in there help your immune system fend off illness. No wonder when you get nervous or stressed you have to run to the bathroom, right?
You probably don't think much about digestion, and even less about number two, until something goes wrong. When pooping becomes a problem, though -- whether it's from diet, stress or a bug -- it's all you can think about. Fortunately, we've got the inside info you need to keep your system humming along nicely.Digestion 101
Your body has an ingenious system to extract nutrients from the foods you eat, then get rid of the waste. Enzymes in your saliva get things started, helping to break down food before it heads into the stomach. Once it's there, muscular action plus acid work together to digest food more. This might take a few hours. Then a valve opens and closes to send the stuff bit by bit into the small intestine -- which if you uncoil it is about 20 feet long! Digestive enzymes from the liver and pancreas capture the nutrients you need, which are absorbed into your body through the lining of the intestine. That part can take two to six hours. What's left heads into the colon (about five feet long, and also known as the large intestine), where poop is created. Feces are stored in the final foot of the colon and when enough is there, you feel the need to go.
The entire process ranges from about 12 to 48 hours for most people. What's the ideal time from food to feces? Less than 24 hours, says Robynne Chutkan, M.D., medical director of the Digestive Center for Women in Washington, D.C., and a member of the LHJ Medical Advisory Board. "Faster is healthier because in general, nutrient-rich high-fiber foods move through the gastrointestinal tract more easily." Want to check your transit time? Eat some fresh corn and notice when the kernels come out. "Ideally, it's the next morning," says Dr. Chutkan. To pick up the pace, think fiber: In one study, a high-fiber diet lowered transit time through the gut from 48 hours to 12.How Often Should You Go?
When it comes to intestinal output, it's probably no surprise that you are what you eat. In the United States, where our diet contains more meat, more processed foods and less fiber than in other countries, we tend to go once a day, or even less. But in parts of the world with high-vegetable, high-fiber diets, people may go two or three times a day, says Dr. Chutkan. It shouldn't take too long to get the job done, either. Reading on the john isn't a good idea, as it can train your colon to take its time. Eventually you won't be able to poop quickly, the way you should. So try to minimize toilet time.Check Before You Flush
When it comes to poo, any shade of brown is normal, but...
Green can signal an infection like gastroenteritis (especially if stool is loose), undigested bile from food moving too fast when you have diarrhea, food coloring or some vitamin supplements.
White or beige can come from a bile duct obstruction, a pancreatic disorder or antidiarrhea drugs.
Black can be caused by upper-GI bleeding, iron supplements, black licorice or Pepto-Bismol.
Red can come from lower-GI bleeding, beets or red food coloring.
A bit of blood when you wipe usually signals hemorrhoids but can be a sign of bacterial dysentery, colitis, diverticulitis or colorectal cancer.Preventing Colorectal Cancer
Eating a high-fiber diet with lots of fruits, vegetables and whole grains has been linked to a lower risk of colorectal cancer, says Linda Lee, M.D., director of the Johns Hopkins Integrative Medicine & Digestive Center. These foods speed up the transit time through your digestive system, which may play a role, although more research is needed.
Exercise can help by lowering your body's need for insulin, which promotes the growth of colorectal cancer cells, says Charles S. Fuchs, M.D., director of the gastrointestinal cancer center at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. He recommends that you also limit red meat to twice a week, talk to your doctor about taking a daily aspirin of 325 mg and make sure you're getting enough vitamin D.
"For women, getting a colonoscopy at 50 or sometimes even sooner is crucial, especially since I've been seeing women as young as in their 30s being diagnosed -- and with no family history," says Dr. Chutkan. Don't ignore symptoms such as blood in the stool, unusual abdominal pain, a change in how often you go to the bathroom, anemia or unexplained weight loss.When The Going Gets Tough
Pay attention if your time spent on the toilet changes dramatically.
Constipation happens when stool travels too slowly through your gut, so it becomes harder, drier and more difficult to expel. Hard-pellet poop that goes plop, plop, plop into the toilet may be diet-related, often from too much meat and processed foods and not enough fiber. Getting more fiber, such as whole grains and psyllium (aim for 25 to 30 grams a day), will bulk it up so it comes out quickly and easily in a nice big C-shaped bundle. Lots of water and regular exercise keep it moving, too. Having weak pelvic floor muscles may also lead to constipation. Doing Kegel exercises or biofeedback can retrain your muscles.
Diarrhea occurs when food takes the fast lane through your GI tract. It can become chronic for many reasons, says Joel Mason, M.D., professor of medicine and nutrition at Tufts University. A condition like irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis or celiac disease could be the culprit. Or it could be lactose or other food intolerance, a parasite like giardia, an antibiotic you've been taking, food poisoning, contaminated water you drank while traveling or even artificial sweeteners like sorbitol. Avoiding dairy products or wheat eases diarrhea for some people who have an intolerance. If you have a GI bug, try a few days on the BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce, toast) and be sure to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Over-the-counter antidiarrheal meds can be helpful, but you should avoid them if you have a fever or are passing blood. See your doctor to find the underlying cause rather than just treating symptoms, says Dr. Mason.
Irritable bowel syndrome can cause cramps, bloating, abdominal pain and constipation or diarrhea -- or both. IBS is common, but the cause is not well understood. And there's no one-size-fits-all remedy, says Dr. Mason. If you're diagnosed, make sure that an underlying condition like celiac disease, lactose intolerance, parasites or a thyroid problem have been excluded, advises Dr. Chutkan.
Fecal incontinence, an inability to control bowel movements, affects more than 5.5 million Americans. Women are susceptible if they've had damage to the pelvic floor during childbirth -- and an episode can be traumatic, says Jennifer Christie, M.D., director of gastrointestinal motility at Emory School of Medicine. Treatment ranges from biofeedback, where you retrain your muscles, to surgery to repair damage or weakness. A new treatment, sacral nerve stimulation, attaches electrodes to the muscle, kind of like a pacemaker for your sphincter.Foods that Keep Your Gut Happy
Our experts share their favorite colon-friendly foods.
Vegetables - Go for high-fiber leafy greens like kale and spinach as well as broccoli, Brussels sprouts and cabbage. Most beans are high in fiber, especially split peas, lentils, black beans and lima beans. Sweet potatoes are also packed with fiber.
Fruits - The more fibrous fruits like apples, pears and berries (be sure to eat the skins) are a better choice than tropical fruits like bananas, mangoes and pineapple, which have more sugar and less fiber.
Whole Grains - Whole-grain bread and high-fiber cereal are good sources of fiber. If you're sensitive to gluten in whole wheat, try quinoa and brown rice, which are both easy to prepare and high in fiber.
Nuts and Seeds - Snack on raw, unsalted almonds and seeds. A quarter cup of sunflower seeds has almost 5 grams of protein. Ground flaxseed is a good source of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids. Add them to yogurt, mix into smoothies or sprinkle on salads.
Psyllium - Psyllium husks (as in Metamucil) are great even if you already eat a lot of fiber, says Dr. Chutkan. They bulk up the stool and relieve constipation and diarrhea. Start with 1 teaspoon in water twice a day and gradually increase to 1 tablespoon twice a day.
Water - It's very important to help keep all that fiber moving through your system, says Dr. Lee. You need to drink at least 8 cups of water a day to maintain good digestive function.Do You Need Probiotics?
A healthy colon hosts a balanced population of bacteria. If your intestinal flora get out of whack, possibly because a course of antibiotics has killed off the good guys as well as the bad, you can end up with diarrhea. "In the vast majority of cases, the original organisms recolonize within a week or two," says Dr. Lee. Probiotic supplements can hurry along the fix. For the average person, though, Dr. Lee says, "Taking probiotics isn't going to hurt you, but there's no guarantee that they make you healthier in the long run." Yogurt has some probiotics, too. Dr. Chutkan recommends unsweetened, full-fat Greek yogurt, which is strained to remove a lot of the lactose and sugar and may be better tolerated by people who are lactose intolerant.It's A Gas
Gas may seem like the body's punch line, but it's actually a normal part of bacterial fermentation in the gut. We pass gas 14 times a day on average (yes, women do it, too) and fortunately, most of it is silent and odorless. What if it's painful or makes you feel bloated? Try keeping a food diary to identify problematic foods. If you've been on antibiotics, you can use probiotics to reestablish helpful bacteria. Gas aids like Beano may help with the digestion of complex carbohydrates found in beans and cruciferous vegetables by converting them to easily digestible sugars, says Dr. Chutkan.

PEORIA, Ill. -- Peoria Police are investigating a home invasion on the city's north side.
Officers were called to 6617 N. Greenwich Place, near Koerner Road, around 2 a.m. Wednesday.
According to police reports, the victims, Jeffrey and Susan McKenna, were asleep in their bed when three men entered their bedroom, tied them up using zip ties and cords and demanded their debit card pin numbers, keys to both of the victims' vehicles and other valuables.
Jeffrey McKenna told police when he was unable to give the suspects a pin number, he was struck with a handgun. The suspects then took several items from the home.
The victims said they were tied up for about two hours before they were able to alert their three children, who slept through the incident, and call the police.
The victims also said that they overheard one of the suspects saying that they had to leave in order to "hit up" another house.
The suspects were described as three black males, dressed in all black, wearing masks and armed with handguns.
One of the vehicles stolen by the suspects was recovered Wednesday morning in the 2900 block of Victoria. The other was recovered Wednesday afternoon.
Police believe that this crime may be related to two other similar crimes that happened in July and September.
"By all accounts we believe that the same crew that hit Weaver Ridge also struck the house last night in Chadwick Estates, and I won't be surprised that they are going to continue to operate until they're caught," said Peoria Police Chief, Steve Settingsgaard.
Police also said they cannot rule out the home invasion that happened on Devonshire in early July.
Victims in all three cases were tied up, held at gun point and had their cars stolen.
"It's clear to me we need an exclusive effort targeted strictly at these home invasions," said Settingsgaard. "So I'm going to put together a team of investigators."
Police are urging anyone with information about suspicious activity in the area to contact Crimestoppers at (309) 673-9000.

The upcoming 6-series has been one of the most frequently spied future BMWs as it's one of the BMW models that will be revealed in the next few months (Winter of 2010/2011). This is the first time a blue convertible has been spotted and also some of the best photos yet of the grill/duct work of the front bumper. The profile shot shows off the incredibly sleek silhouette that the F13 6-series convertible will have.
Follow our full 6-series coverage here: http://www.bimmerpost.com/6-series/
We recently brought you photos of the F13 2012 6-series convertible undergoing testing on the ring. Various F13′s have also been spotted on and around the Nurburgring in various models and trims, including what looks to be 650i and 640i convertibles.
We bring you the first photos of 6-series convertible test cars in different colors and configurations. Previously, only a milano beige F13 6-series has been spotted, but we now see the stunning convertible in both silver (650i) and red color (640i). The silver 650i wears some beautiful wheels weve not yet seen, which transforms the whole look of the car (for the better), in our opinion.
Here is the BMW announced production schedule for the F12 / F13 6-series coupe and … CONTINUED
Resident photoshopper extraordinaire, Gerald Alvarez, has put together this new rendering of the upcoming F12 6-series coupe based upon the newest F13 6-series convertible photos and the BMW Concept Gran Coupe (which was said to be an approximation of what the 2012 6-series coupe will resemble).
We bring you the first photos of the F13 6-series convertible confirming that the 2012 6-series convertible will indeed have a traditional folding soft top (but a factory fitted optional hardtop will be available). These 650 convertible photos are also the most revealing yet of the body, which loses its plastic camoflage cladding to reveal most of the production body. What's being revealed slowly is a stunning looking BMW which retains the shape and sleekness of the previous 6-series cabrio, while losing some of … CONTINUED
The current BMW monthly production bulletin reveals some details on the new 6-series (F12/F13) and the upcoming X3. Production starts on the 650 convertible in March 2011 and 650 coupe in July 2011. Sept. will see a 6-cylinder 640 coupe and convertible and 650xi coupe and convertible. X3 production begins this December.
We bring you the first ever sighting of the upcoming F13 6-series convertible with its top down. The shape revealed with the top down is of a sleek and well proportioned convertible, not easily pulled off with a convertible of this size. What is not telling yet however, is whether the top is a folding hardtop or a traditional canvas top. The extra cut lines on the trunk may indicate a canvas top to some, but may simply be indicative of split trunk access … CONTINUED
We bring you the worlds first video of the F12 6-series coupe in live action. Seeing the test mule in a natural environment among other cars puts into focus the sleekness and well-proportioned design of the F12 so far.
This 6-series coupe test mule was spotted again recently in Munich. The very first 6-series coupe test mule was spotted and photographed just this past week. This test mule still wears heavy camouflage panels and paint, but its overall proportions and shape can still be appreciated. The new 6-series coupe is due to launch in 2011.

Resident photoshopper Gerald Alvarez has now put his imagination and photoshop skills to work on the next 6-series convertible (F13), based on our recent spy photos of the F12 6-series coupe and F13 6-series convertible.

Worst FT in history of college basketball?
Brian Okam of Applachian State plays Division 1 basketball and for that and that alone we applaud him.
The Mountaineers junior reserve center has proven in his two-plus years at the school, that he's not exactly the most proficient shooter from the charity stripe.
In 2009-2010, he shot 61.5 percent from the line during his one year at Rutgers.
Since transferring, however, it's been a different story for the native of Nigeria.
Last season, Okam hit just 50 percent of his free throw attempts, and in his five appearances in 2012-2013, Appalachian State's seven-foot big man is just 2-of-5.
Which brings us to last night's game at Western Carolina.
The Mountaineers dropped their seventh straight contest, but the night will likely only be remembered for Okam's fateful trip to the line.
No words can describe it, so take a look:

A Gwinnett County family escaped injury but is looking for a place to stay Tuesday after an early morning fire severely damaged their home.
Lieutenant Colin Rhoden said firefighters the fire was set accidentally by a candle left unattended in a bedroom.
Crews arrived at the Eagle Summit Court home just after 4 a.m. and found heavy smoke and flames coming from the upper level of the two story house. Firefighters were forced to fight the fire from the outside due to high heat conditions, according to Rhoden.
Two adults and a child were able to get out of the home on their own. Rhoden said a resident told investigators the fire started when the flame of a candle spread to room furnishings.
That resident had a minor burn to the hand from trying to extinguish the fire. They were treated at the scene. There were no other injuries reported.
Rhoden said the home sustained heavy structural damage to the second floor and roof.

Must be why Petzl requested future emails go to the info box :) All it takes to get it done is, enough of us drop them an email.
I also sent Mr. Adams a nice email, and his response only confirmed a sneaking suspicion that he is an excellent copy and paster. Odds are, he's sent that same email out 6 or 7 times just this evening.
"Dane (no offense), you seem to complain a lot about Petzl while praising Petzl at the same time." None taken. With 20K visits a week to the blog as you might imagine I get a lot of back channel emails. The two single hardware topics that generate the most email are Petzl's new picks and Petzl's new pommel design. When your first gen tool climbs better and is more reliable than your third I might suggest there is a problem. This is just one thread on the Internet about the new picks, but there are several elsewhere and at least one on the newest pommels failing as well. Admittedly or not today all the major climbing companies seem to use the end users as beta product testers. To do that successfully they need direct feedback. I can do nothing on the blog but offer some little advice on how to modify the picks. But for pure ice I don't doubt the Cascade is a better design. So emailing me doesn't help. Emailing Petzl directly (their idea not mine) with your concerns just might.
I had a pretty long conversation with the Petzl rep at Ice Fest in N. Conway last weekend about the new Nomic vs. old. When I pressed him about the poor performance of the new Ice pick he told me that they've changed the Ice pick's angle since it was released to fix the problems, and that it's now "the best pick ever" on ice. That doesn't really jive with what I've read on Dane's blog or elsewhere, but since I'm still rockin' a pair of worn Astro picks on my old Nomics I'm the wrong one to pass judgment. Still, sounds a lot like a case of denial...
This is the content I got from Petzl yesterday. "As for the picks they were redesigned to be a better all-around pick. The first tooth is now a bit steeper/ more aggressive making more of a hook greatly improving its performance on thin hook placements (rock or ice). That said when you get a good deep stick in ice it can be a little more difficult to clean. Despite what our goal was , I�ll take yours and the other comments I�ve received on the picks and pass them onto our design team."
Hi, I am back into the 'ice game' this year after retirement for many years. Of course tools have changed dramatically versus when I climbed - back then - we didn't climb leashless or have tools with bent shafts, etc. I see the term B and T rated picks. What does that mean may I ask? I just bought a pair of Viper's - will be trying them out this weekend here in NY. Hoping I like them - tho I have to say - I kinda like the shape of the Petzl picks better from the pics that I am seeing on here. I am thnking that maybe the tip of the BD pick is too 'rounded' versus the Petzl pick being more of a 'squared-off' shape? Does this matter much?
Anybody else pop out the little plastic plug that covers the hole in the middle of the shaft? I smacked mine climbing over a bulge or something. Now there is a little piece rattling around inside my tool. How should I get it out? And what is that hole for anyway?
Johnny G - that plug is in there forever. Get used to it. Michael - Here is an article on the CE/UIAA ratings for technical ice axes: www.spadout.com/a/basic-technical-ice-axe-ratings/
That little thing that rattles around annoys the shit out of my partner. Not me so much, still though i think it is something they should fix and or warranty for those whom it bothers enough. Like most pics they seem to stick much less once you get through that first half of tooth and or remove the steep angle of the first tooth when new.

LinuxTag 2009: Communtu Eases Ubuntu Installation
Communtu wants to give new installers and Windows converts an easier time with Ubuntu. They will present a webpage with a list of suggested programs to install as a metapackage, including multimedia and proprietary software, and then install it.
One of the first presentations in the morning of the first LinuxTag in Berlin was from Communtu out of Bremen. The project is based on the premise that there's yet an easier way to install Ubuntu. Be it multimedia codecs or proprietary thingies from, say, Skype or Google Earth, at a certain point users might have to post-install packages without having them readily at hand.
This is where Communtu comes in. Users who register on a webpage can select packages to download and Communtu does the rest. It puts a metapackage together and installs the programs. The left pane presents links that guide you through the process to enter certain key data. It wants to know your areas of interest (programming, games, systems), the desired Ubuntu version and if you want free or cost-based software or licenses. Communtu then presents two links that Ubuntu opens using the gdebi package installer. Behind the links are hidden two Debian packages, the first imports the necessary keys to get to the second one. The metapackages then assemble what you selected among the software.
In one respect you're spared aggravation, but the registration still takes time, and some of these metapackages are, theoretically, also feasible through Ubuntu's normal installation. The concept harkens back to Linspire's Click'n'Run service and openSUSE's One-Click-Install system. Yet to be seen if Communtu's Web version will find a following.
English version at about 85 - 90 %As Till already mentioned, the English version of Communtu is nearly completed. All we have to do is to translate the last few strings, check if everything is correct and then we launch the English version for a productive use.
English version coming soonA prototype of the English version is available at http://en.communtu.org Currently, it is not suited for productive use, but it will be completed soon.
german onlyI just send them some feedback offering my services translating this thing. If they wrote this with i18n on their minds it shouldn't be a problem to get Communtu translated quickly.
CommuntuSo far as I can see the site is in German only. Great for someone that can read German, but kind of hard to follow for those of us that don't.

FORT MEADE, Md. (AP) - An Army private charged in the biggest security breach in U.S. history has testified that he felt like a doomed, caged animal after he was arrested in Baghdad for allegedly sending classified information to the secret-spilling website WikiLeaks.
Pfc. Bradley Manning testified Thursday at a pretrial hearing at Fort Meade, outside Baltimore. His lawyers are seeking dismissal of all charges, contending his pretrial confinement in a Quantico, Va., Marine Corps brig was needlessly harsh.
Before he was sent to Quantico in July 2010, Manning spent weeks in a cell in a segregation tent at Camp Arifjan, an Army installation in Kuwait.
Manning says he remembers thinking "I'm going to die, I'm stuck inside this cage."
