Concerns at packed meeting over proposed Newport Gipsy sites
5:00pm Sunday 16th September 2012 in News By David Deans - Politics reporter
RESIDENTS have been urged to act on their concerns over proposals for Gipsy sites in the east of Newport.
More than 700 people attended the event at a conference suite at the city's Hilton Hotel on Friday night, organised by local councillors, but hundreds more were unable to get in and were turned away.
Residents heard concerns over four sites based in or around Langstone - part of a list of 11 being consulted on by Newport council.
An action group has been established and at least 300 people have signed a petition over the issue.
They were called to write letters to the council outlining reasons to object, with people worried about proposals for sites at Old Chepstow Road, Magor Road, near the A449 and near Llanmartin Primary School.
It was argued that facilities in Langstone are non-existent with "principle" shops miles away and that the Old Chepstow Road site is used as a flood plain. One resident said the road alongside Llanmartin School was "full of potholes".
Helen Beveridge, of Langstone, won a round of applause when she asked: "Wouldn't anybody mind joining me in stopping their direct debit [for council tax] forthwith?"
Meeting chairman Peter Morgan said that could be "creating a rod for our own backs."
Another meeting over the issue will take place at Underwood Leisure Centre on Friday at 7pm.

WANT a Gypsy Site in their area.
They realise what is going to be the likely outcome.
Rubbish piling up all over the place, things going missing all of a sudden.
A created compound which will become a haven for lawbreaking which will then become a no-go area for Police, as Rover Way is in Cardiff.
Call me a NIMBY but I have the utmost sympathy for anyone having to endure this situation.
Put the encampments in areas where they are not going to affect the local community. Flathholme and Steepholme come to mind, or a remote part of the Brecon Beacons.

Another day, another shutout for the Braves.
Donovan Hand combined with four Brewers relievers to shut out the Braves for the second straight day - the Braves' 11th shutout loss of the season. Hand only lasted 4.2 innings, but he got through 14 outs in just 52 pitches as the Braves swung away to no avail.
The running narrative this season has been the excessive number of strikeouts the Braves' hitters have. During the past week, they have struck out 4, 7, 8, 11 (scored 5 runs), 8, 16, 6, 4, and 3 times. The most runs were scored on the 11 and 3 strikeout nights, and the rest of the week has been offensive misery. The Braves haven't struck out much over the past two days, and they haven't been able to score. We can keep rehashing this if you want, but making contact doesn't correlate with scoring runs. Sometimes, teams offensively slump, and I'm guessing a boom-or-bust offense has more chances of busting than others, though they also have a better chance of booming.
The other thing I worry about is the team trying to make more contact simply to make more contact. This is an offense built on walks, power, and striking out, and if the Braves hitters are choosing to avoid strikeouts at the cost of walks and power - which are good things, by the way - it won't help the offense. These hitters are the way they are, and for good or ill, they should probably stick to what has made them productive to this point in their careers. It's one thing to cut back on strikeouts while maintaining high walk rates and power, but it's another thing to start sacrificing productive offensive outcomes to avoid a negative outcome that is almost exactly the same as the other possible negative outcomes. End rant.
Tim Hudson tried to hold down the Brewers, but even though he only gave up two runs, it wasn't his best outing. He scattered 7 hits along with 4 walks while only striking out 4. The veteran sinkerballer wasn't terribly awesome, but he was able to avoid big innings and keep the damage to a minimum. David Carpenter and Alex Wood finished the game for the Braves, though it's still a bit confusing why Wood is up here just to pitch garbage-time innings.
Today sucked. The first two games of this series sucked. Hopefully, it's just a slump and the team will get back to business tomorrow.

Well, it hasn't been officially announced yet, but the UK's Daily Mail is reporting this morning that the secretive role Naomie Harris has long been in the running for, since we first announced that she was being considered for a part in the next James Bond movie, is not quite THE Bond girl role, but rather, Miss Moneypenny, assistant to M, James Bond's boss - a role originated by Lois Maxwell who played the character from 1962's Dr No to 1985's A View To A Kill.
Since then, 3 other actresses have played the part, with Naomi now being the 4th, and the first black woman to take on the role.
Whether or not Harris' portrayal of Moneypenny will remain inline with previous characterizations of her, remains to be seen. It's a relatively small part in the franchise, though memorable for her ongoing flirtation with Bond, creating some sexual tension between the two of them; however, their relationship has always been professional.
The Daily Mail says the actress is "in the final stages of negotiations to play Moneypenny in Bond 23, alongside Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem, Ralph Fiennes and Judi Dench which will begin shooting this year, with Sam Mendes at the helm.

Holy crap you're right. Watched the first five features this weekend. (because I like marathons) And she's in there, but not much.
I like how they 'flirt/not-flirt'. Or at least that's what I inferred in a couple scenes.
I still stick with my initial proposal. They need to really utilize Naomie.
GO ROGUE! or something :-)
Nadell | July 9, 2011 8:24 AM
@ Ghost
Yaya's claim to fame is not from Tron alone. ANTM, Ugly Betty, The Children Are All Right, All My Children, Take the Lead
And I think their decision to cast Naomie Harris as 'Miss Moneypenny' is a TOTAL waste of her exceptional talent!
Ghost | July 9, 2011 7:42 AM
WHY do these talented young Black actors/actresses always get these small screen BFF/Assistant roles?
Because when they get lead roles in films-they tend to FLOP or get LIMITED support from the community-especially from the BLACK community.
More folks know who Yaya is thanks to Tron Legacy and she was in it for 3 minutes.
So before we cry about these folks taking cameos in films-we need to support and promote them when they get lead roles. So they won't have to do this.
dcmoviegirl | July 9, 2011 6:55 AM
It's beneath her, but I hope she can use it as a stepping stone.
I'm honestly scratching my chin at why they replaced Samantha Bond. I hope it wasn't because she's too old, but knowing Hollywood...
CareyCarey | July 9, 2011 2:16 AM
I just thought of something... I've never watched (completed) a James Bond flick. Nope, notta, can't do it.
In fact, 2 days ago I tried to watch Casino Royale. When Daniel Craig (Bond) chased down a brother that had the speed of Usain Bolt, I was done. The brother was leaping out 3 story windows and landing on his feet, and Bond was right behind, gaining ground every step of the way.
Now we have the current trend of pimping our black sistahs for our green-backs... dollar bills yawl. Here they come. Miss fine Black Miss Moneypenny and black Nicole Beharie (My Last Day Without You & Shame)
Yeah, I said it. They are pimpin' the panties off our black actresses... for our black dollars. Put a sistah in a movie (opposite a white guy) and all the black faces come a runnin'.
"But CareyCarey, the women have to eat"
Yeah riiight, and every pole stripper is working her way through college.
Neziah | July 9, 2011 1:17 AM
There's a reason why the spin-off never got green-lighted, my friend, she was awful.
Hammbone | July 8, 2011 12:56 PM
Halle Berry was great as Jinx . There was even talk of spinning her off into her own franchise. She didn't embarass herself or her race in that bond film. She has had a bad run lately but dont try to make it like every role she played was terrible.
Neziah | July 8, 2011 9:37 AM
Halle Berry ruined any chance of a black woman being a Bond girl ever again, she gave a horrid and embarrassing performance in"Die Another Day". I don't care if she's mixed, most of the world sees her as black.
voice of reason | July 8, 2011 5:34 AM
Horrid choice and further will destruct Cubby's franchise.
Thespian Queen | July 8, 2011 4:24 AM
Hmm, this does NOT surprise me one bit Misspenny? WHY do these talented young Black actors/actresses always get these small screen BFF/Assistant roles? Geez! We are in 2011 cinema needs a facelift. ASAP!
Sergio | July 8, 2011 3:43 AM
Unless there's going to be a major re-imagining of the role and her character is more developed, Harris' part isn't going to be that big. Miss Moneypenny has never appeared for more than 5 minutes in any Bond film
starfishncoffee | July 8, 2011 2:52 AM
I'm liking this news. A lot. :)
I can't wait to see how this turns out.
Tamara | July 8, 2011 2:12 AM
in the final stages of negotiations to play Moneypenny in Bond 23, alongside Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem, Ralph Fiennes
Lawd, those men... rowr-worthy and talented!
Miss Moneypenny? LOL Can't believe I don't remember the character. Still, I hope her presence and/or chemistry with Bond (and the others, if the story permits) makes her appearances memorable and significant to the tune of oh, say, let's have her back but this time as an asst. to M who goes rogue! Mwhahaha.
I think I need a marathon of Bond movies. I think I need to look to that oh, say, THIS WEEKEND. :P

McKINNEY — Flames shot into the air Tuesday morning in McKinney. A construction site smoldered for more than an hour after a backhoe ruptured an Atmos Energy gas line near State Highway 5 and U.S. 75.
Three workers were treated for minor injuries and released. A fourth was hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries.
Atmos workers went door-to-door to restore gas service to about 650 customers in McKinney and Fairview after they were awakened to a thunderous roar.
"I woke up this morning and there was a big ball of flame coming out of my apartment complex," said Keith Jackson, who lives just across the highway from the blast site.
A six-inch natural gas transmission line owned by Atmos Energy was struck by a backhoe operated by contracting crews replacing a line.
The key question now is: How could Atmos contractors not know where their employer's dangerous, high pressure line was located?
Atmos says it is still investigating.
By law, the contractor is supposed to contact the "call before you dig" hotline. There are two in Texas. One is operated by Texas 811.
News 8 called Texas 811 to find out if the law was followed in the case of Tuesday morning's explosion. Texas 811 not only didn't know the answer, one employee told us they won't ever know unless Atmos decides to tell them the name of their contractor.
"I answer to the utility companies. They are my bosses. I'm at their mercy," said Texas 811 vice president Mike Losawyer.
Attorney Marquette Wolf represents the widow of a man who was killed in a 2010 pipeline explosion in Johnson County where the "call before you dig" system also didn't work. The gas transmission company whose line was mistakenly struck never showed up to identify what later turned out to be a highly pressurized, 36-inch transmission line.
Wolf says Tuesday's explosion appears to be another example of a fundamental problem with the line locator system. He says gas companies are under no pressure to properly locate their own lines.
"If the system were followed — followed properly — what happened today doesn't happen," Wolf said. "What really happened today, we'd have to ask Atmos."
Atmos has thus far declined to share the name of the contractor, making it difficult for anyone to know whether the "call before you dig" law was followed in this case.
Atmos is saying the company is sorry for the inconvenience to its customers, and is thankful there were no life-threatening injuries that resulted from the blast.

Town Square
Man arrested on attempted murder after attacking Danville homes
Original post made on Oct 19, 2008
Several incidents occurred in Danville over the two weeks between Nov. 21 and Dec. 8. Danville police Sgt. Ron Bradley said a home on Tunbridge Road was shot at with a pellet or BB gun on the 21st. Then a few days later, the next door neighbor experienced a similar attack.
Bradley said police began looking at Hurtado after the victim of the first shooting incident reported receiving a letter of apology. Allegedly the letter said that the home had been shot at by mistake and that the second home was the intended target. When police interviewed the second homeowner he suggested that Hurtado, a disgruntled former employee of his business, may have been involved. Hurtado had made threatening phone calls to the business after being terminated last year, according to reports.
The situation turned serious Dec. 8 when, after shooting at the business owner's home on Tunbridge again, Hurtado allegedly drove up to the Tracy area, approached a home he mistakenly believed was the residence of the business owner's brother, and threw a lit pipe bomb toward the house.
Police reports say a female acquaintance of the Tracy homeowner watched Hurtado light and throw the bomb. The fuse went out and the bomb did not explode. When the incident was reported to Tracy police, investigators from that department as well as the San Joaquin Sheriff's Office began looking into the case.
Hurtado was arrested Dec. 14 and a search warrant was executed at his home. Police say evidence was found in the home linking Hurtado to both the pipe bomb and the shooting incidents. He was taken into custody by San Joaquin Sheriff's officers and charged with attempted murder. He is being held on a $4 million bond, pending a Dec. 28 court appearance.
Bradley said Danville and Tracy police expect to file additional charges against Hurtado of felony vandalism and criminal threats.

I was wondering if this guy had dealings with Leesa Ward Realty and maybe she is the "mysterious female acquaintance". If he did have dealings with her, could he have put the pipe bomb at her office last july. I think they have the wrong suspect in custody for this crime. Any comments or theories?

believe me they have the right suspect. I am the brother that onced owned and lived at that house he threw the pipe bomb at. He meant harm, murder, at what he thought was the home, our home, we moved, and he needs to held accountable in court for it. Instead he in in an insane hospital until he is able to stand trial as a sane person.

|Ohio Expo Center hosts Power Show this weekend
|Wednesday, January 22, 2014 9:10 PM
Ag Educator
Putnam County
The Power Show Ohio celebrating its 44th Years will be held at The Ohio Expo Center at the Ohio State Fairgrounds, Columbus. More than 200 exhibitors will display products from more than 600 companies.

Cooking demonstrations and product sampling will be going on in the Voinovich Center conducted by OhioProud all three days.
Power Show Ohio will be held Friday-Sunday in Columbus. The Ohio Expo Center is just off Interstate 71 at Exit 111. Parking and admission is just $10 per carload. Discount coupons for $2 are available at the Putnam County Extension Office. For a full schedule of events, hours and more, visit the show's website: www.PowerShowOhio.com.
The Ohio Cattleman's Association (OCA) has initiated a referendum that would increase Ohio's Beef Checkoff from $1 to $2 per head. Ballots for voting by mail are available now through March 20 on the OCA website at www.ohiocattle.org or at the Putnam County Extension office. The in-person voting dates for the referendum are Tuesday through Thursday, March 18-20 at the Extension office. Eligible voters must have marketed cattle subject to the assessment in 2013 calendar year. There is no minimum age for voting so 4-H and FFA members that marketed cattle in 2013 are eligible to vote.
Fifty cents of every dollar collected stays in Ohio while the other half is allocated to National Beef Checkoff programs. The Ohio Beef Council uses their funds for educational programs in schools, advertising and farm tours that influence media writers about beef production. The Beef Checkoff promotes beef, educates consumers and addresses public misconceptions to protect the future of Ohio's beef industry.
Bruce Clevenger, Defiance County Extension Educator will be conducting a two-day Quicken Computerized Farm Record Keeping workshop on from 1-3:30 p.m. Wednesday and February 5th at the Putnam County Extension office. Quicken is a simple computer program that keeps records like your farm account books. The Quicken system is relatively inexpensive ($75 to $100) and keeps your records like a checkbook.

Dianne Shoemaker, Ohio State University field specialist, is inviting farmers to participate in the 2014 Ohio Farm Business Analysis Program by analyzing their 2013 farm records. The type of questions that this type of business analysis will answer is are you ready as a grain or livestock farmer for $4 corn? How about $3.50 corn? The cost to the farm for 2013 business year analysis will be $100 per farm. Each farm will receive their farm's completed enterprise analysis, a copy of the Ohio summary, and any available enterprise benchmark reports relevant to their farm. Crops, dairy and livestock farms are targeted for this program.
Your 2013 Ohio Farm Business Analysis are kept confidential, give whole farm analysis, and go into enterprise analysis. Benchmarks are used to compare your situation to other farms to see if you are in the top 20 percent of other farms. The program helps to identify your farm's strengths and your opportunities for improvement. The program helps you gain knowledge to improve or expand your farm. This program is an annual summary, however; results from several years can be used for trend analysis. Upon completion, farmers will have a balance sheet (assets, liabilities, equity), income statement (revenue minus expenses to determine net profit), cash flow statements and enterprise information.
For more information contact Diane Shoemaker, State Leader Finpack at 330-257-3377 or go to the following websites. Ohio Farm Benchmarking: Financial Analysis: farm profitability.osu.edu or Center for Farm Financial Management: www.cffm.umn.edu.

General Motors is recalling more than 27,000 Cadillac SUVs around the globe because of concerns the wheels can fall off.
The automaker says the recall is for the 2013 Cadillac SRX equipped with 18-inch wheels. Safety regulators say the wheel nuts may not have been tightened enough at the factory.
GM says the problem has not caused any known crashes or injuries and no wheels have fallen off vehicles. Owners are being asked to bring their vehicles into their dealers where the tires will be rotated and the wheel nuts tightened at no cost.
The recall affects almost 19,000 SUVs in the U.S. and more than 900 in Canada. The remaining vehicles were exported to other countries.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Freshman U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis has again won the Republican nomination to represent the 13th District in south-central Illinois.
Davis is from Taylorville. He was staffer for U.S. Rep. John Shimkus and worked for the Illinois Republican Party. He was first elected in 2012 to replace outgoing U.S. Rep. Tim Johnson.
Davis won a three-way race that included Erika Harold, who is a Harvard graduate, attorney and was Miss America in 2002. Her campaign was in the national spotlight over the summer when a local GOP leader called her a "streetwalker" and later resigned.
Also on the ballot was Mike Firsching, a veterinarian from Moro who made a previous unsuccessful bid for Congress.
Davis had the backing of most local Republicans and a larger campaign war chest than his opponents.

Barcelona has regularly utilized a 3-4-3 formation this season for various reasons. It allows them to get more of their best players -- central midfielders -- onto the pitch. It's also a better fit than a 4-3-3 for Javier Mascherano, who isn't exactly a physically imposing figure in a traditional back four. When Carles Puyol has been hurt or playing fullback out of necessity, Mascherano has stepped into defense, and he's a much better outside central defender in a back three than he is a traditional central defender in a back four.
Whenever Barcelona have played any team that uses two strikers or teams they're much better than who play any formation, they've gone to the 3-4-3. With the team's best natural left back Eric Abidal out for the season (and probably done with his career), playing with a back three makes even more sense for Barcelona now than it did earlier in the season. However, it's not a good matchup against Chelsea.
Whoever starts on the wings for Chelsea is going to do a lot of cutting in from wide positions, which is likely to pull a back three badly out of shape. There will either be large gaps in the penalty area or lots of space for the fullbacks to overlap and cross if Chelsea's wide forwards make the right runs against a back three. If Chelsea can find wide-open lanes for Ashley Cole to cross the ball into the head of Didier Drogba, it's probably their best avenue to scoring goals against the Blaugranas.
When Andre Villas-Boas was in charge, Chelsea failed to capitalize on their matchup advantages against Napoli's back three in the first leg of their Round of 16 tie. They were much better in the second leg of that tie and made Napoli's defense look terrible. If Barcelona opts to go with a back three, Chelsea's wide players can't get caught doing nothing but marking Barcelona's attacking wide players, which is what happened in the first leg against Napoli. It's a big matchup advantage, and they will need to take advantage of it.
Even though Barcelona would like to avoid playing Puyol as a traditional left back in order to put him in a natural position and bring another central midfielder into the team, the potential drawbacks are too great. They're going to dominate possession with a 4-3-3 anyway, and Guardiola should probably stick with it.
We'll have continuous pre-game updates and live game coverage in our Chelsea vs. Barcelona, UEFA Champions League Semifinals StoryStream. For more on the two teams, head over to Chelsea FC blog We Ain't Got No History and FC Barcelona blog Barca Blaugranes.

The latest NFL Free Agency Timeline
The NFL Lockout is over and both sides gave and took and in the end the legacy of this work stoppage will be incredibly meaningless.

The NFL lockout is expected to end within the next couple weeks and when it does there are five things every team will need to do to prepare for the 2011 season.
SB Nation St. Louis's annual Fantasy Football Guide devoted to the NFL lockout has been released, and for some reason it's selling much faster than usual.
Several weeks ago the NFL and NFLPA went before the 8th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals and stated their case for why the NFL lockout is legal (NFL's argument) and why it is not legal (NFLPA's...
It's been widely reported that officials from the NFL and NFLPA met in Chicago on Wednesday and again on Thursday to discuss the NFL lockout. We thought at one point that the two sides had gotten...

Postpartum depression usually occurs in the first three months after delivery; however, it can occur anytime during the first 12 months after delivery.
Depression can be described as feeling sad, blue or unhappy. Depression can be mild, moderate or severe. Often, depression is not recognized or treated because some normal pregnancy changes cause similar symptoms. Hormone changes or a stressful life event can cause chemical changes in the brain that lead to depression. Depression is also an illness that runs in some families. Other times, it is not clear what causes depression.
What are the symptoms of postpartum depression?
There are two common treatments that your doctor/provider often recommends based on the degree of your depression.
This involves talking to a therapist, psychologist or social worker.
Your doctor can give you medicine to help you relieve the symptoms of depression.

---- — The recent closing of St. Mary's School in Champlain is part of the seismic changes in the American Catholic Church since the 1950s.
Locals remember other Roman Catholic schools that have suffered a similar fate: St. Augustine's in Peru, which my children attended; St. Alexander's in Morrisonville; St. Johns, Our Lady of Victory, and Mount Assumption Institute in Plattsburgh.
Fifty years ago, Catholic schools weren't closing, they were thriving. And as I watched a granddaughter graduate from Peru Central School in June, I thought back to my graduation from a very Catholic high school.
The Diocese of Rockville Centre, N.Y. — covering Long Island's Nassau and Suffolk counties — was created in 1957. Its first bishop, Walter Kellenberg, came from the Roman Catholic Diocese of Ogdensburg. A year later, St. Pius X Preparatory Seminary admitted its first class, about 100 ninth-grade boys who wanted to become priests or believed they "had a vocation," in the vernacular of the day. We graduated from that Long Island school in 1962.
Our education was normal for the times. We learned some physics and geometry, Hawthorne's "The House of the Seven Gables," Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar," a bit of history and the U.S. Constitution. It was like other high schools, though we also read poet Francis Thompson's "The Hound of Heaven" and visited Dorothy Day's Catholic Worker in New York City.
But it was our plan to be priests — when we were 25(!) — that set us apart and made our school different. While sex was never far from our adolescent minds, dates with girls were forbidden. And every day at school, we celebrated Mass, entering a chapel that had an inscription in Latin urging us "to be of Christ, not of ourselves." Rituals full of candles, bells and incense were regular parts of our lives. The rosary hung from our Chevy gear shift, and a St. Christopher medal was pinned to the car's ceiling.
Our world was very Catholic.
About that Catholicism, we had faith in the religious sense but also confidence in the institution. It was a wonderful time to be a Catholic. Pope John XXIII was popular and respected, his views on social issues taken seriously even by the secular press. Catholic John Kennedy, who had told the world on a cold and clear sunlit January day "that here on earth God's work must truly be our own," was in the White House. Perhaps late to the battle, Catholics were now more prominent in the civil rights movement.
Catholic statistics gave us confidence, too. In 1965, there were almost 59,000 priests in America, and many young men were preparing to join them. In 1967, 22,000 men were at college and graduate-level seminaries, and 16,000 kids went to 160 high schools like St. Pius X.
The church's future looked bright — more Catholics, more seminarians, more priests.
Then something happened.
Maybe it was the Vietnam War. The number of combatants reached a critical mass, so everyone knew someone impacted by the war, and government explanations didn't make sense when we saw the damage coming home. Was there a spillover of distrust for other institutions, such as the church?
Or the women's movement, rebelling against the social hierarchy that favored males? Did Catholic mothers who once encouraged their sons to be priests look at this religious men-only club and tell their boys to find another career?
Was it sex? The birth-control pill changed dating, marriage and sex's place in our lives. Did adults get impatient with advice from unmarried priests on how to be good spouses? If kids heard their parents dismiss the pastor — "he hasn't a clue" — did the priesthood become less attractive?
I don't know the cause, but the effect was obvious. By 1977, the number of seminarians was down 58 percent, from 21,500 to 9,000. And high-school students, like us at St. Pius X, dropped 62 percent — from 16,000 to 6,000 — in the same time.
The number of religious sisters — the teachers in Catholic schools — dropped about 24 percent in the same 10 years.
Today there are 5,000 seminarians and 39,000 priests. But preparatory seminaries like St. Pius X are almost extinct. There are eight in America, with 532 students.
Our class mirrored the national statistics. Of the 106 students who started in 1958, only seven became priests.
I was not one of them.
And our high school, St. Pius X? It closed its doors in 1984, like St. Mary's in 2012.

According to Jim Bowden, former major-league general manager and current radio host for ESPN radio, the Houston Astros are planning to take Stanford right-hander Mark Appel with the first-overall pick in Monday's first-year player draft.
This is the first time the Astros have selected first overall since 1992, when they chose Phil Nevin. The good news is that Nevin turned out to be one of the more productive players of the 1992 draft. They were leaning in another direction according to the Associated Press:
When the Houston Astros make the first selection today in the June baseball draft, they are expected to select Central Florida outfielder Chad Mottola No. 1.
Mottola played in 59 major-league games, so the Astros dodged a bullet. The bad news is they took Nevin over Derek Jeter. The worse news is that they traded him for 21 innings of Mike Henneman before Nevin did anything in the majors.
Appel throws in the upper-90s, and his stuff has never been in question. But he wasn't dominating college hitters as expected, causing his draft stock to slip just a little. He had a progressively better 2012 season, though, going 9-1 with a 2.37 ERA and 116/24 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 110 innings, good enough to put him atop John Sickels' latest mock draft .

Baltimore Orioles vs. New York Yankees
When: Thursday, Oct. 11, 7:37 p.m. ET on TBS
Starting pitchers: Joe Saunders vs. Phil Hughes
The Yankees will send former first-round pick Hughes to the mound in the hopes of closing out their series against Baltimore. He tossed a career-high 191⅓ innings this season, and he showed marked improvement in both his walk and strikeout rates. Hughes lowered his walk totals from 3.3 per nine innings to 2.2, and he whiffed 7.8 batters per nine innings, compared to 5.7 a year ago. However, Hughes had a very difficult time keeping balls in the ballpark during the regular season; the righty served up a career-high 35 home runs.
Orioles manager Buck Showalter sent both Chris Tillman and Saunders to the podium as potential starters prior to Game 3, but he's elected to start Saunders, the winner of the Wild Card play-in game. The lefty held the Rangers to one run on six hits in 5⅔ innings for his first career postseason victory. The Yankees' hero in Game 3, Raul Ibanez, has given Saunders fits in the past; the lefty-swinger has hit .348/.375/.652 against him with two home runs in 24 plate appearances.

And this is way over the top!
Chris Parry of The Vancouver Sun highlighted some of the comments on the mainstream, hard right-wing blog/news aggregator Free Republic. Among them, a picture of Michelle talking to Malia Obama with the caption: "To entertain her daughter, Michelle Obama loves to make monkey sounds." Classy. These mouthbreathing, borderline morons then kept piled on:
"A typical street whore." "A bunch of ghetto thugs." "Ghetto street trash." "Wonder when she will get her first abortion. "Could you imagine what world leaders must be thinking seeing this kind of street trash and that we paid for this kind of street ghetto trash to go over there?" wrote one commenter.
"They make me sick .... The whole family... mammy, pappy, the free loadin' mammy-in-law, the misguided chillin', and especially 'lil cuz... This is not the America I want representin' my peeps," wrote another. Such was the onslaught of derision on the site that the person who originally complained about the slurs, a Kristin N., claims only one comment in the first hundred posted actually criticized the remarks as inappropriate.

Obama's Real African Roots RevealedPaul L. Williams, Ph.D.
Since assuming the office, President Barack Obama has become increasingly vocal about his African roots and Muslim heritage.
"I have the blood of Africa within me," Mr. Obama told the Ghanaian Parliament last Saturday.
This is all well and good, save for the President's statement in Dreams from My Father that he was proud that his late Kenyan grandfather had become a Muslim, since this conversion offered proof that he was anti-white.
Questions concerning Mr. Obama's background and heritage have been circulating throughout the Web since he announced his candidacy for the nation's highest office.
Was he born in Kenya and not Hawaii? If so, he becomes immediately disqualified from occupying the Oval Office?
Was he raised as a Muslim and not a Christian? If so, he stands as an Islamic apostate whom the leaders of Islamic countries are obliged to shun.
Was his father a Communist? If so, his far left leanings, including his friendship with William Ayers and Bernadine Dohm, become readily explainable.
Were his forefathers militant racists, who became engaged in murderous activities against the white settlers in Kenya? If so, his affiliations with Jeremiah Wright and the racially charged UCC in Chicago represent an extenuation of a family pattern.
What do we know about the 46th President?
Are there any skeletons in his closet?
Has he been truthful to the American people about his heritage and background?
Several facts concerning his African lineage have come to light and most are unsettling.
His father was a dedicated Communist who bore a hatred for the United States.
His grandfather was a KCA (read Mau-Mau) terrorist, who had been shut up in a slammer for sedition.
Almost all of his African relatives were devout Muslims who practiced polygamy.
Some were liars, deceivers, and charlatans.
Some were headstrong, intemperate, and, at times, violent.
Almost all were and are avowed black racists.
The apple, as the adage goes, never falls far from tree.
Let's hope for the sake of America that the saying lacks merit.
Hussein Onyango Obama (c. 1895-1979), was the President's paternal grandfather. He fought in British uniform during the Second World War, returning with a gramophone and a picture of a white woman he claimed to have married in Burma.
The picture, a framed etching of a female aristocrat with long black hair, hangs alongside the photos of the Mr. Obama in the two room house of Sarah Onyango., who lives in the remote village of Nyangoma-Kogelo in Kenya. "She is very beautiful," said Sarah Onyango, the third or fourth wife of the President's grandfather.
As a young man, Onyango Obama toyed with Christianity, and briefly changed his name to Johnson. He later rejected this religious dalliance as "foolish sentiment" and converted to Islam. The President's extended family members in Kenya remain devout Muslims, despite an erroneous report by the Associated Press that Sarah Onyango is a Christian.
Becoming a Muslim in pre-World War II Kenya was extraordinary, since 90 percent of the country remained Christian.
After the war, Onyango served as a cook for the household of a British military commander. He also became involved with the Kikuyu Central Association (KCA), a radical organization that sought to drive the British settlers from Kenya by violence. Many members of the Association became leaders of the Mau Mau Movement that spread terror throughout Kenya during the 1950s.
Members of the KCA were obliged to take an oath to fight and defend themselves against all white colonists and Western European intruders. The oath included animal sacrifice and the ingestion of blood. The ritual reportedly also included cannibalism, ritual zoophilia with goats and other animals, and sexual orgies.
Did Onyango engage in such activities?
Did he partake of human flesh?
Did he engage in sexual congress with a goat?
The mainstream press has attempted to ward off such allegations by pointing out that the President's grandfather was involved with the KCA and not the Mau-Mau. But, in truth, there is no distinction between the two terrorists groups. The Mau-Maus never referred to themselves by this pejorative term (its origins remain unknown). They always insisted that they represented the KCA.
In Dreams from My Father, Barack Obama writes that his grandfather served six months in prison and was later found innocent to the charges of belonging to a terrorist organization and overt sedition.
But Onyango remained incarcerated in a high security prison for over two years.
"To arrest a Luo ex-soldier, who must have been a senior figure in the community, is pretty serious," said Professor David Anderson, director of the African Studies Centre at the University of Oxford and an authority on the Mau Mau rebellion. They must have had some damn good evidence."
The severity of Onyango's crimes is further evidenced by the fact that he was transported and confined to the Kamiti prison, a national maximum-security facility outside Nairobi.
Sarah Onyango refutes President Obama's contention that his grandfather was innocent by admitting that her late husband confessed to the charges but only after being whipped and tortured by the African warders.
"He said they would sometimes squeeze his testicles with parallel metallic rods," Mrs. Onyango, now 87 recalls. "They also pierced his nails and buttocks with a sharp pin, with his hands and legs tied together with his head facing down."
Some elements of Mrs. Onyango's account of her husband's torture remain questionable, if not quaggy. She recounts an especially horrific incident in which the "white soldiers" sprayed her husband's body with "an itching chemical," which caused him to scratch his head and torso until he drew blood. Almost certainly, Professor Anderson says, Mr. Onyango was being treated for body lice.
Onyango's hatred of whites was sealed by his years in prison and, throughout the 1950s, he took part in rallies and demonstrations against the country's colonial rule.
The Mau Mau Movement resulted in the deaths of over 1,850 men, women, and children most were hacked to pieces by machetes. Hundreds more disappeared; their bodies never found.
In the Journal of African History, Kenyan historian, Bethwell Ogot, writes: "The Mau Mau, contrary to African customs and values, assaulted old people, women and children. The horrors they practiced included the following: decapitation and general mutilation of civilians, torture before murder, bodies bound up in sacks and dropped in wells, burning the victims alive, gouging out of eyes, splitting open the stomachs of pregnant women. No war can justify such gruesome actions. In man's inhumanity to man there is no race distinction. The Africans were practicing it on themselves."
The British responded to the Mau Mau uprising with draconian violence. By the end of the conflict, 11,503 terrorists had been killed, most of them Kikuyu.
Barack Obama Sr., Mr. Onyango's son and the President-elect's father, inherited his father's attitudes towards the colonial power. He was arrested for attending a meeting in Nairobi of the Kenya African National Union (Kanu), the organization which spearheaded the independence movement and the election of Jomo Jenyatta as Kenya's first black president.
Sarah Onyango recalls that the President's father, unlike her husband, was only confined for a short time in "white man's prison."
Barack Sr., however, became a direct beneficiary of his father's association with the Mau-Maus when Kenyatta came to power. In 1960, he traveled on a scholarship to the University of Hawaii, as part of a program (sponsored by John F. Kennedy) to train young Kenyans to rule their own country.
The President's stepgrandmother says that the combative spirit shown by her husband during Kenya's bloody independence struggle has passed down through the generations to the future president. "This family lineage has all along been made up of fighters," she maintains, pointing out that her husband fought physically with the white man," while President Obama is fighting the same fight "using his brain."
What happened to Barack Sr. in Hawaii?
What other skeletons remain locked in the Obama closet?

The CNN article states: "The center's report, "The Year in Hate," found the number of hate groups grew by 54 percent since 2000. "
This is not news, but hype, since this is not unique to Obama's reign. The ranks may have increased recently, but they do with every recession, since immigrants are targeted by many as using (and abusing) public services.
Obama will always be a convenient target and recruiting tool as long as he utilizes identity politics and runs the country further into the toilet with increased debt and mismanagement.

I imagine the hate groups will continue to grow after Sonia Sotomayor's confirmation to the Supreme Court. Her comments and decisions are consistently for minorities and against whites. There is equality and affirmative action. I'm not sure affirmative action equals equality. Sadly, white hate groups will grow.

McAfee Threat Intelligence Exchange delivers a cohesive framework where security products collectively pinpoint threats and act as a unified threat defense system providing security resilience and immunity to infections. Threat Intelligence Exchange significantly optimizes threat prevention by narrowing the gap from encounter to containment from days, weeks, and months down to milliseconds.
Apply the power of knowledge — Threat Intelligence Exchange makes it possible for administrators to easily tailor comprehensive threat intelligence from multiple intelligence data sources. This customization empowers administrators to assemble, override, and tune the intelligence source information so that they can modify protection for their environment and organization.
Orchestrate in real time — Threat Intelligence Exchange is the first solution to use the McAfee data exchange layer, a bidirectional communications fabric enabling security intelligence, and adaptive security through product integration simplicity and context sharing. The data exchange layer supports the automatic configuration of products, reducing errors and eliminating effort to lower implementation and operational costs of integration.
Supercharge existing endpoint protection — Threat Intelligence Exchange provides breakthrough endpoint protection, using McAfee VirusScan Enterprise to make accurate file execution decisions. Endpoints will also be protected based on malware detected by network gateways, while network gateways block access based on endpoint convictions.
McAfee Threat Intelligence Exchange makes it possible for administrators to easily tailor comprehensive threat intelligence from global data sources, such as McAfee Global Threat Intelligence (GTI) and third-party feeds, with local threat intelligence sourced from real-time and historical event data coming from endpoints, gateways, and other security components.
The McAfee data exchange layer enables security components to dynamically join the McAfee Threat Intelligence Exchange. Shared insights bring deeper awareness of the threats targeting an organization. Attacks are discovered through the endpoints, gateways, and other security components united in providing real-time surveillance.
Threat details collected from malware encounters at endpoints and network gateways can propagate through the data exchange layer in milliseconds, educating all security components to proactively immunize against newly detected threats.
While increasing security resiliency, security cost of ownership is lowered by extending existing McAfee security detection, prevention, and analytic technology investments to proactively and efficiently protect your organization as soon as a threat is revealed.
McAfee Threat Intelligence Exchange requires the following products:
For a technical summary on the McAfee product listed above, please view the product data sheet.
Adaptive intelligence and real-time communications orchestrate protection in the McAfee Security Connected Platform.
I recently wrote a piece in Dark Reading around the notion that Endpoint security is not dead, but instead facing a steadily mounting series of obstacles with relation to the new universe of Internet-connected devices. While there are certainly more challenges to securing corporate networks today, claiming that enforcing Endpoint security policies is basically fighting […]

The Research Process
1. State your problem as a question as succinctly as possible.
2. 'Brain dump': Write down what you already know about your topic, including
- Names of people, organizations, companies, time period you are interested in, places of interest [countries, regions, cities], conceptual terms...
3. Decide what disciplinary methodologies you plan to use: e.g., sociology, political science, literature, psychology...
4. Fill in the gaps in your knowlege: get background information from specialized encyclopedias or other secondary sources. Wikipedia can sometimes be good here, or Google News.
5. Select the best places/ databases to find information on your topic from the Library's list of databases by subject. Or use a catalog like Oskicat or Melvyl to search for books and other resources.
6. Use nouns from your brain dump as search terms.
7. Evaluate what you find. Change search terms to get closer to what you really want.
8. Refine Your Search Words - Using the information you have gathered, determine if your research words should be narrower or broader. You may need to search basic resources again using your new, focused topics and keywords.

What is the Burden of Proof? Do theists have to prove their god exists?
The concept of a burden of proof is important in debates whoever has a burden of proof is obligated to prove their claims in some fashion. If someone doesnt have a burden of proof, then their job is much easier: all that is required is to either accept the claims or point out where they are inadequately supported.
It is thus no surprise that many debates, including those between atheists and theists, involve secondary discussions over who has the burden of proof and why. When people are unable to reach some sort of agreement on that issue, it can be very difficult for the rest of the debate to accomplish much. Therefore, it is often a good idea to try to define in advance who has the burden of proof.
The first thing to keep in mind is that the phrase burden of proof is a bit more extreme than what is often needed in reality. Using that phrase makes it sound like a person has to definitely prove, beyond a doubt, that something is true; that, however, is only rarely the case. A more accurate label would be a burden of support the key is that a person must support what they are saying. This can involve empirical evidence, logical arguments, and even positive proof.
Which of those must be presented will depend very much upon the nature of the claim in question. Some claims are easier and simpler to support than others but regardless, a claim without any support is not one which merits rational belief. Thus, anyone making a claim which they consider rational and which they expect others to accept must provide some support.
An even more basic principle to remember here is that some burden of proof always lies with the person who is making a claim, not the person who is hearing the claim and who may not initially believe it. In practice, then, this means that the initial burden of proof lies with the theist, not with the atheist. Both the atheist and the theist probably agree on a great many things, but it is the theist who asserts the further belief in the existence of a god.
This extra claim is what must be supported, and the requirement of rational, logical support for a claim is very important. The methodology of skepticism, critical thinking, and logical arguments is what allows us to separate sense from nonsense; when a person abandons that methodology, they abandon any pretense of trying to make sense or engage in a sensible discussion.
The principle that the claimant has the initial burden of proof is often violated, however, and it isnt unusual to find someone saying, Well, if you dont believe me then prove me wrong, as if the lack of such proof automatically confers credibility on the original assertion. Yet that simply isnt true indeed, its a fallacy commonly known as Shifting the Burden of Proof. If a person claims something, they are obligated to support it and no one is obligated to prove them wrong.
If a claimant cannot provide that support, then the default position of disbelief is justified. We can see this principle expressed in the United States justice system where accused criminals are innocent until proven guilty (innocence is the default position) and the prosecutor has the burden of proving the criminal claims.
Technically, the defense in a criminal case doesnt have to do anything and occasionally, when the prosecution does an especially bad job, you will find defense lawyers who rest their case without calling any witnesses because they find it unnecessary. Support for the prosecution claims here is so obviously weak that a counter-argument simply isnt deemed important.
In reality, however, that rarely happens. Most of the time, those required to support their claims do offer something and then what? At that point the burden of proof shifts to the defense. Those who do not accept the support offered must at the very least show just cause why that support is insufficient to warrant rational belief. This may involve nothing more than poking holes in what has been said (something defense attorneys often do), but it is often wise to construct a sound counter-argument which explains evidence better than the initial claim does (this is where the defense attorney mounts and actual case).
Regardless of exactly how the response is structured, what is important to remember here is that some response is expected. The burden of proof is not something static which one party must always carry; rather, it is something which legitimately shifts during the course of a debate as arguments and counter-arguments are made. You are, of course, under no obligation to accept any particular claim as true, but if you insist that a claim isnt reasonable or credible, you should be willing to explain how and why.
