Well now, that's a provocative headline. Sacramento? Where'd that come from? The Oakland Athletics have been trying to move to San Jose for quite some time, only to be blocked by the San Francisco Giants, who own the territorial rights to the South Bay.
The A's had reportedly been granted permission to move last December, but then they weren't, and that made the Giants all mad, and then Bud Selig said a lot of words on the issue that meant, essentially, nothing.
So, several months after a report that the A's would be allowed to go to San Jose and three years after Bud said this was an urgent matter, we're still at square one. Maybe even behind square one, given Bud's dawdling.
That's where this Associated Press report sneaked in Monday:
Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson has given up trying to keep an NBA team and is instead aiming to lure a Major League Baseball franchise to his city.
Johnson and his Think Big Sacramento task force announced a plan Monday to market California's capital city as a possible landing spot for a major league team.
Sacramento. Capital city of California. 20th-largest television market in the USA -- bigger than seven markets that already have major-league teams (Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Baltimore, San Diego, Kansas City, Cincinnati and Milwaukee). Metropolitan Sacramento is home to about 2.2 million people, about the same size as metro Denver, Cincinnati or Cleveland. 87 miles from the A's home stadium, says Google Maps.
Why couldn't it be a good home for a major-league team?
First, A's owner Lew Wolff says the team isn't for sale, though anything can probably be bought for the right price. Second, Sacramento doesn't have a suitable stadium; Raley Field, the 14,000-seat home of the Triple-A Sacramento River Cats, wasn't designed to be easily expandable, though this link suggests it could be (though for a minimum cost of $250 million, and that was written in 2009; it would certainly be more now). Such a renovation would bring its capacity to about 32,500 -- which would be the smallest in the major leagues.
It still makes some sense, if the money for stadium renovations could be raised. The River Cats have been Oakland's Triple-A affiliate since 1999, so there's some fan loyalty; it's within reasonable driving distance of Oakland (San Jose is almost half as far, 40 miles) so that some of the existing fanbase could still attend games; CSN California, the A's TV home, is carried on cable systems in Sacramento so MLB would actually be adding a TV market without losing one, and such a move wouldn't be subject to veto by the Giants.
Clearly, this is a longshot; there probably isn't money for the stadium they'd need, and so the A's will likely continue to focus on San Jose. But it's at least worth investigating by MLB, Lew Wolff, and the powers-that-be in Sacramento.

Montague Taekwondo gets a "kick" out of their new customink shirts! by Montague Taekwondo - almost 2 years ago
"I had ordered individual shirts through CustomInk in the past for gifts for friends & relatives and was always impressed with their products and service. When our Taekwondo club needed new shirts to train in during the summer (it gets very hot in the dojang), I turned to CustomInk to do the job. We decided to sell the shirts to our members in order to fundraise for a BOB (Body Opponent Bag) which we had wanted for awhile, but couldn't afford. The shirts arrived promptly, with no errors in sizing and great quality. Everyone who had pre-ordered loved them and shortly after, people started asking if we had ordered extras (which we did-thank goodness!). Not only did we sell enough to buy our BOB, but we are down to the last few and need to order more! This is why we would love to win this photo contest so we can put the money towards our next order which will help towards our next fundraiser. Thanks Custom Ink!!"

5 Hold-Rated Dividend Stocks
Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model.TheStreet Ratings' stock model projects a stock's total return potential over a 12-month period including both price appreciation and dividends. Our Buy, Hold or Sell ratings designate how we expect these stocks to perform against a general benchmark of the equities market and interest rates.
While plenty of high-yield opportunities exist, investors must always consider the safety of their dividend and the total return potential of their investment. It is not uncommon for a struggling company to suspend high-yielding dividends and subsequently result in precipitous share price declines.
TheStreet Ratings' stock rating model views dividends favorably, but not so much that other factors are disregarded. Our model gauges the relationship between risk and reward in several ways, including: the pricing drawdown as compared to potential profit volatility, i.e. how much one is willing to risk in order to earn profits?; the level of acceptable volatility for highly performing stocks; the current valuation as compared to projected earnings growth; and the financial strength of the underlying company as compared to its stock's valuation as compared to its stock's performance.
These and many more derived observations are then combined, ranked, weighted, and scenario-tested to create a more complete analysis. The result is a systematic and disciplined method of selecting stocks. As always, stock ratings should not be treated as gospel — rather, use them as a starting point for your own research.
The following pages contain our analysis of 5 stocks with substantial yields, that ultimately, we have rated "Hold."
R.R. Donnelley & Sons CompanyDividend Yield: 9.10%R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company (NASDAQ:RRD) shares currently have a dividend yield of 9.10%. R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company provides integrated communication solutions to private and public sectors worldwide. Currently there are 2 analysts that rate R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company a buy, no analysts rate it a sell, and 1 rates it a hold.The average volume for R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company has been 2,689,000 shares per day over the past 30 days. R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company has a market cap of $2.1 billion and is part of the diversified services industry. Shares are up 27.1% year to date as of the close of trading on Friday.TheStreet Ratings rates R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company as a hold. Among the primary strengths of the company is its generally strong cash flow from operations. At the same time, however, we also find weaknesses including deteriorating net income, disappointing return on equity and poor profit margins.Highlights from the ratings report include:
- Net operating cash flow has increased to $522.50 million or 10.11% when compared to the same quarter last year. The firm also exceeded the industry average cash flow growth rate of -18.82%.
- Regardless of the drop in revenue, the company managed to outperform against the industry average of 9.7%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 2.2%. Weakness in the company's revenue seems to have hurt the bottom line, decreasing earnings per share.
- DONNELLEY (R R) & SONS CO has exprienced a steep decline in earnings per share in the most recent quarter in comparison to its performance from the same quarter a year ago. The company has reported a trend of declining earnings per share over the past two years. However, the consensus estimate suggests that this trend should reverse in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, DONNELLEY (R R) & SONS CO reported poor results of -$3.61 versus -$0.73 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($1.57 versus -$3.61).
- The gross profit margin for DONNELLEY (R R) & SONS CO is rather low; currently it is at 22.00%. It has decreased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of -31.92% is significantly below that of the industry average.
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Commercial Services & Supplies industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 159.9% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from -$326.70 million to -$849.00 million.

The town-hall-style debate at Hofstra University on Tuesday night proved much more combative than the first debate between President Barack Obama and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney.
Obama, who was roundly panned for his performance in Denver Oct. 3, came out much stronger, but Romney was equally forceful.
So, who won? Was it enough for Obama to do better? Or was Romney's ability to stay the course the deciding factor?
Let us know in the comments section below. And share your favorite debate moment.

It's hard to think of a more deserving eligible player who's not in the "actual" College Football Hall of Fame than Tommie Frazier. And it might have taken the fan vote and more than a little kvetching to get it done, but the SB Nation College Football Hall of Fame is pleased to induct Frazier as part of it's inaugural class. Our Nebraska blog Corn Nation puts it this way.
Nebraska quarterback Tommie Frazier is the only player in college football history to be named MVP of three national championship games. Frazier guided the Cornhuskers to two national championships, including the 1995 Nebraska team that is considered by many to be the best team in college football history. Frazier finished his career with a 33-3 record, and set a school record with 5,476 yards of total offense. Frazier finished second in the Heisman Trophy ballot in 1995 (Eddie George, Ohio State) and was selected as a first-team All-American by many outlets. He set records for rushing yards in a bowl game (199), total offense in a bowl game (304 yards), the longest touchdown run in a bowl game (75 yards) and if there were a record for it, the most guys to make tackle fail in a singe play, as shown below:
Frazier captured a commanding 68 percent of the vote in our fan poll. He joins Vince Young of Texas in the quarterback wing.

COLUMBUS, IN. (WDRB) - Tens of thousands of Hostess workers will lose their jobs and Americans are saying goodbye to some of their favorite sweet treats.
But workers in our area believe there may be a way to save the twinkie. Even though they could not come to terms with Hostess, people in Columbus, Indiana still want to work, even though the factory there has shut down.
The sign at the Dolly Madison plant in Columbus, Indiana says it all -- closed for business. "The last few batches are done," said Hostess worker Timothy Hilderbrand. "6 o'clock tonight, they are locking the doors for good."
Thousands of union members nationwide went on strike last week after rejecting a contract offering lower wages and benefits.
Hostess decided to shut down. In Columbus, Indiana, 200 Hostess factory workers have lost their jobs. "As much as I hate it, I mean I got three little kids at home and a wife. But it is what it is. I'm not going to go in there and work for what they're going to pay me."
For Nan Gill, it means losing the pension she has worked 30 years for, making gem donuts. "I started here when I was 18, right out of high school, two weeks out of high school. And I've been loyal to this company and come to work everyday, do what I'm told to do and do my job. I was supposed to retire March 1st. They took that away from me," said Gill.
The CEO of Hostess says the company had been operating on tight lines, and the strike took them out. Some say it is the union's fault for not accepting a deal. "No it's not our fault. No no no no," said Gill. "They've had financial problems for a long time. And we've put our lives on hold for them."
Hostess released a statement saying, "We deeply regret the necessity of today's decision, but we do not have the financial resources to weather an extended nationwide strike. Hostess Brands will move promptly to lay off most of its 18,500-member workforce and focus on selling its assets to the highest bidders."
That is exactly what many workers are hoping for. "I'm hoping somebody comes up here and buys us and we can get back to work in a month or two," said Hilderbrand.
"Let's keep Hostess alive!" said Gill. "Let's keep those twinkies going and ding dongs and gems and pies, people love that stuff! Keep it goin."
You will still see the Hostess and Dolly Madison trucks on the roads to deliver and sell the already-baked products.
Hostess outlets in our area tell me they will stay open until the product is gone.

---- — It always amazes us when two sides can agree on the big picture of an issue and come to a consensus that's fair to both parties, especially when it involves traditional contentious issues.
Such is the case with news that Clinton County and its largest collective-bargaining unit — the Civil Service Employees Association — have come to terms on a three-year contract.
It appears that both gave a little and took a little in an attempt to meet the needs of both entities.
The contract settlement should serve as a model for other employer-employee discussions about what's best for all involved.
It's all about sacrifice and give and take, things not often seen in management-union discussions.
For example, while the deal calls for employees to see more in their paychecks, they will also see a rise in their health-insurance premium contribution over the final two years of the three-year agreement.
Further, county employees hired before 1980 will continue to make no health-care cost contribution.
Also, the contract calls for employees to work 15 years to qualify for retirement health insurance instead of the previous 10 years.
While giving the union credit for the contract, Legislature Chairman Jimmy Langley summed it up pretty well, in our opinion: "They want to keep the county as viable as possible, and they want to keep jobs, and they did what they could to help with that."
Union President Joseph Musso said it was important to keep the county economically solvent and maintain fiscal integrity.
The bargaining group approved the contract by more than 100 votes. The union represents about 600 employees. A total 71 percent voted on the agreement.
The union's position was based on real-world concerns.
"With the tax cap and everything the county is facing, we knew that was going to be important, and we didn't want to hurt the citizens of the county," Musso explained.
It probably didn't hurt, either, that the agreement saved some union jobs, and members wanted assurances of a wage increase to keep up with the cost of living.
It would appear both sides met their objectives.
The bottom line is that the contract was achieved by clear-headed negotiators without antagonizing public accusations, threats and comments.
Both sides came in with realistic, fair expectations, and it's clear that that alone is what drove the successful conclusion.
There's a lesson to be learned here.

Playing for bowl eligibility, the Vanderbilt Commodores have a halftime lead over the Wake Forest Demon Deacons. Vanderbilt took an early lead, with a pair of Ryan Fowler field goals in the first quarter, from 33 and 30 yards. Wake Forest, to their credit, didn't roll over, and they took the lead to start the second quarter. Tanner Price completed a ten yard touchdown pass to Terrence Davis, after being put in position by a 20 yarder to Chris Givens.
Vanerbilt took back over on the very next possession though, with a 14 play, 76 yard drive that ate just under six minutes off of the clock. Zac Stacy had runs of six, seven and 16 yards, while Jordan Rodgers added 23 yards on the ground, on top of that. They capped off that drive with a 1-yard rushing touchdown from Stacy, taking a 13-7 lead.
Wake Forest was forced to punt on the next drive, going three and out, and it didn't take Vanderbilt long to increase their lead. Jordan Rodgers hit Brandon Barden for a 73 yard touchdown on the first play of their drive, taking a 20-7 lead. Wake Forest would go on to punt again, and Vanderbilt took over. With time near expiring, they managed to make it to the Wake Forest 20 yard line, after a Jordan Matthews reception for 34 yards. After that, Stacy had a 20 yard rush and a touchdown, putting them up 27-7 at the end of the half.

Replacing a Lost License in IowaPage Overview
Because you need your Iowa driver's license to legally operate a motor vehicle, it's important to replace a lost license as soon as possible. Fortunately, the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT), Office of Driver Services (ODS) has made it easy to obtain a duplicate license.
You'll need to visit your nearest Iowa driver's license station during regular business hours. You'll be required to produce several forms of identification from a list of acceptable documents . Only original documentation is allowed; no photocopies or faxes will be accepted. In some cases, the digital photograph the DOT has on file from your previous license may be used as partial proof of your identity.
Your duplicate license will be valid only until the expiration date for the license that was lost or stolen. Cost: $10.
Replacing a Lost Iowa License While Outside the State or Country
If you have lost your driver's license while traveling outside Iowa, you'll need to apply for a temporary driving permit (TDP). Apply by submitting the following information in writing:
- Your full name
- Your signature
- Your driver's license or Social Security number
- Your date of birth
- Either an out-of-state address or fax number with instructions on which one to use
Mail or fax the above information to:
- Iowa Department of Transportation
- P.O. Box 9204
- Des Moines, IA 50306
- Fax: (515) 239-1837
Questions? Call (515) 244-8725 or (800) 532-1121.
The TDP will allow you to legally drive until you are able to visit your nearest driver's license office in person to obtain a duplicate license.
Unfortunately, temporary paper licenses are generally not valid as proof of your identity. If you are required to show photo identification while your driver's license is missing, you'll need to make alternate arrangements. In many cases, a passport or identification card will suffice.
Avoiding Identity Theft
Identity theft is on the rise in Iowa. Victims of identity theft have had their driving privileges suspended and their credit ratings destroyed. Worse, they've been been held criminally liable for acts committed by someone misusing their identity.
For this reason, it is very important that you promptly report a missing driver's license and any other lost or stolen documents to the proper local law enforcement officials. The Iowa DOT has a special investigative unit within the Office of Motor Vehicle Enforcement that assists drivers who have been victims of identity theft relating to a stolen license, identification card, or vehicle title.
But it's better to avoid the problem altogether. Here are some simple steps you can take to prevent identity theft:
Other Topics in This SectionFind Your
- Don't carry your birth certificate, Social Security card, or vehicle title in your purse or wallet.
- Shred your bills, receipts, financial records, and credit card applications to prevent unlawful use of your personal data.
- If you've recently lost your driver's license or other personal identification, place a "fraud alert" on your credit file to prevent new accounts from being opened without your consent.
- Review your credit report and driving record on a yearly basis to look for suspicious or inaccurate data.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Senate scandal wins race
Ongoing story that could shape Canada's political future beats Ford antics
Journalists love to say it is not the crime, but rather the coverup, that becomes a politician's undoing.
Never has that been more true than in the still-simmering Senate expense scandal, the Free Press national story of the year.
What started out in June 2012 as a mundane review of expenses submitted by senators has turned into a scandal that will likely help determine the outcome of the next election.
It was hard to identify a single national story of the year. It will come as no surprise that it was a neck-and-neck race with Toronto's crack-smoking, wisecracking, wreck of a mayor, Rob Ford. In the end, however, the Senate expense scandal has the potential to shape the political future of Canada.
It is not, however, an easy story to follow. Other than the fact "Senate expenses" seems to be a phrase on everyone's lips these days, it may be hard for some to identify the specific crimes and misdemeanours that are dogging Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his Conservative government.
Simply put, this is a story of a governing party using its power and influence to sweep away details of expense transgressions by members of its Senate caucus. And then, having been caught in that first coverup, further attempting to manipulate reviews and investigations to contain the matter.
The scandal has four principal characters -- Tory Sens. Pamela Wallin, Mike Duffy and Patrick Brazeau, and former Liberal senator Mac Harb.
All four were flagged by an audit as having improperly claimed living and (in the case of Wallin) travel expenses. All four have either been suspended, or have resigned from the upper chamber.
Arcane residency rules are, regardless of whose side you take, at the heart of the expense scandal.
Senators are required to live in the provinces they represent in the upper chamber. The rules also state senators can claim generous per diems and housing expenses to maintain a residence in Ottawa as long as they also pay to maintain a primary residence in the province they represent.
The rules are not problematic, in and of themselves. However, many senators are appointed to represent provinces they may have been born in, but have not lived in for decades. This was certainly the issue that originally ensnared Duffy and Wallin. It appears Brazeau may not have had a primary residence when he was appointed, and Harb had at least two other properties but neither served as his primary residence.
The scandal starts with concerns the senators went to extreme lengths to create the impression they were maintaining primary residences outside the Ottawa region. Investigations revealed Duffy claimed a rarely used cottage in Prince Edward Island as his primary residence. Wallin claimed travel expenses to visit Saskatchewan, the province she represented, even though her primary residence was a condo in Toronto. Harb made the same claim about a house he had essentially sold, but retained a tiny interest in, to meet expense requirements.
In essence, however, these transgressions are small potatoes. Yes, the amounts of money were measured in the tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars. However, it was the effort to make these transgressions go away that has really tripped up Harper.
The manipulation begins with Harper's then chief of staff, Nigel Wright, providing a personal $90,000 cheque to Duffy to repay improperly claimed living expenses. The money appears to have been, in general, an organized bid to quash further examination of Senate expenses and, in particular, a way of buying Duffy out of trouble.
The Wright loan to Duffy is problematic on several levels. First, it is disturbing to find out the prime minister's senior-most political adviser had been involved in an unseemly transaction to bail a senator out of trouble. Second, is the attempt by Wright and others in the PMO to claim Harper did not know what was going on in his own office.
The sheer unbelievability of that claim has sullied Harper's reputation in an immeasurable fashion. If Harper did know, and then lied about it, he has signed his own political death warrant. However, the suggestion he did not know is equally problematic.
It suggests Harper is surrounded by political staff who suffer from a profound ethical and moral deficit. That ultimately raises questions about Harper's own ethical-moral compass.
This is why, on so many different levels, coverups are worse than the original transgressions.
Harper has tried to deflect attention away from the expense scandal by contributing to a misguided debate about the future of the Senate itself. There is no doubt the pursuit of an unelected, upper legislative chamber needs to be undertaken. In its present form, it is hardly worthy of the time, effort and expense we now devote to it.
However, in a country where there is a great disparity in population between the largest and smallest provinces, surely there is a need for some balance in our federation. Without a Senate, which can give smaller provinces the ability to withstand the bully tactics of larger ones, we cease to be a federation.
By the terms of federal legislation, the next election must be held by the fall of 2015. It could be held earlier, if Harper believes there is a tactical advantage. That is nearly two years for the Tories to put the Senate expense scandal on ice.
Or, that's just enough time to reveal the full extent of the coverup.

MAC ties for Bowl Challenge Cup
With Northern Illinois's dominating win over Arkansas State last night, the MAC has tied Conference USA for this year's best bowl record, 4-1 (80%). Four bowl wins matches the conference's total from the previous five years, during which time the conference posted a miserable 4-17 bowl record. Could this be the beginning of respectability for MAC football?

On Wednesday night, Carlos Gonzalez hit three home runs against the Houston Astros. The first one left the field before the pitch reached the plate -- don't ask how, just go with it -- and the last one almost sailed into the third deck. The Rockies right fielder is hitting .323/.391/.629 now, with 13 home runs. Nine of those came in May. Carlos Gonzalez just might be good at this baseball thing if his other career options don't pan out.
But he's a freak for other reasons, too. He represents a rare kind of trade in the baseball world: the franchise-player-out, franchise-player-in trade.
Matt Holliday was the Rockies back in 2008. Troy Tulowitzki was a 23-year-old coming off a disappointing sophomore season. Todd Helton was slowing down. Holliday, though, was a star. But after the 2008 season, the Rockies figured out they probably weren't going to afford an extension for him. Their options were a) to keep him around, sell a few t-shirts, and collect the draft pick when he walked, or b) to trade him for a gaggle of prospects.
That doesn't seem like much of a choice at all. It's always a good idea to trade established players for prospects on the Internet! Hooray, prospects! The idea is simple: Here, you take this fully formed star player, and you give us a guy who will be a star player in a couple of years with a little sunlight and water. Everyone wins. And so the Rockies took Carlos Gonzalez from the A's in exchange for Holliday, put him on a windowsill, watered him, and talked to him (studies show this really does help them grow), and before too long, he was a perfectly capable replacement for the star power of Matt Holliday.
That doesn't happen.
That isn't to say trades exchanging prospects for established players never work out. Of course not. The Texas Rangers won two pennants because they traded away Mark Teixeira. Elvis Andrus, Neftali Feliz, and Matt Harrison have each been important to the Rangers' success. That was a franchise-changing trade. But it wasn't a trade that brought back anyone with the marketability and face-of-the-franchise potential that Teixeira used to have.
Your definition of "franchise player" might vary, but I'm using a loose definition of a really good player who stands out on his team. When Jason Bay was with the Pirates, he was just about the only good thing going for the team. But the Pirates clearly weren't going to give him a long-term deal, so they were practically forced to deal him. They received Brandon Moss, Craig Hansen, and a LaRoche. The bad one. It was not a franchise-player-out, franchise-player-in trade.
The Royals had two potential trades to make in the early part of last decade. For Johnny Damon and Carlos Beltran, the best player they received was … man, Mark Teahen? John Buck? When the Marlins opened up the bidding for Miguel Cabrera -- 24 years old and already one of the best hitters in the entire game -- they received what turned out to be shards of broken dreams and Cameron Maybin. They flipped Maybin for two relievers.
The only two comps I could find had to do with pitchers. The A's traded Mark Mulder, and Dan Haren came back in return. The Indians traded Bartolo Colon, and received Grady Sizemore, Cliff Lee, Brandon Phillips, six Inverted Jennys, 43 copies of Action Comics #1, and a wheelbarrow full of Apple stock certificates. Those trades sent a star pitcher out, and they got a star pitcher in return.
But subsequent Cliff Lee trades haven't proved as fruitful. He was recently traded three times for prospects in less than a year. That sentence gets weirder and weirder every time I read it. The best player involved in those deals so far is Blake Beavan. The second-best player was Mark Lowe, and he went to the Rangers with Lee. And when the A's had to make one of the same trades, they exchanged Dan Haren for several useful pieces. One of them became a franchise player for another team.
That player was Carlos Gonzalez. And now we've come full circle.
There are good trades. There are bad trades. There's 50 feet of crap, and then there's the Bartolo Colon trade. But the nice, even symmetry of a franchise-player-out, franchise-player-in trade is extremely rare. Matt Holliday left the Rockies in 2008; in 2010, they had a guy who was doing a danged good job of approximating Holliday's production. Good for the Rockies. But other teams shouldn't expect the same kind of fate. It seems to happen about once or twice a decade.

Petition against the ridiculous acts of Snohomish.
Now, many of us know the story about the High School student Brett Karch, who was injured by a cannon blast at the Friday night football game on October 6th, 2006. If you do not here is a link to the headline. http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/296584_cannon20.htmlsource=mypi Many people through news communities on the internet such as Fark and Digg (others may be unlisted) and other news headlines on the internet were VERY upset to read what the community of Snohomish has actually done. Through these articles we found out the true nature of many in the Snohomish community, eager for football and willing to risk a life for it. This petition is being started to show every single person who cares about a sport over the well-being of a human being, that there are A LOT of people out there who think they are irrational and are the best examples of the sad people in this world. Sign this petition for Brett Karch, with your notion of him getting well and letting him know there are many other towns and people out in this world who would actually feel remorse for such an event. I ask you to share this with every community possible, but please do not spam it in a ridiculous manner. Thankyou.

Betty will have examples of her quilts, materials and sources of the materials she uses. The class is a treasure chest of techniques and experiments.
She will explore many different materials in the class and provide sample of many to try. She encourages you to bring any artist materials you might be interested in working with. http://bbusbyarts.com/
Linda Beach
We'll learn about turning your own ideas and inspirations into an art quilt.
These can take the form of photos, sketches or the objects themselves. I will work with each student in turn to discuss their project and provide assistance as they go through the drafting process. Even if your drawing skills are not perfect, there are techniques we'll cover that can overcome that using tracing paper, gridded enlargements or photocopy enlargements.
Then you create your quilt in class. http://www.lindabeachartquilts.com/
Carol Shinn
We explore imagery and/or surface embellishment using a basic sewing machine. Emphasis is on creating a surface saturated with layers of threads. My process of using heat-transfer images will be covered. Individual styles of "mark making" are stressed, using shading, hatching, and color mixing. Ideas for designing, techniques for troubleshooting, and options for finishing are discussed.

One more trip into the past unearths this recent live collection from regular joe rockers Tesla. What you find on here is great song after great song, particularly on the 2nd CD. "Gettin' Better" and "The Way It Is" sound better than their already impressive sudio versions. You can tell the band is having fun on stage, whether it's on the Aerosmith influenced "Mama's Fool" or the cold war anthem "Modern Day Cowboy." Jeff Keith's rasp hasn't changed, nor has the acoustic/electric interplay between guitarists Frank Hannon and Tommy Skeoch. That they can do songs as different as the country-ish "What You Give" next to the rapid fire riffing of "Edison's Medicine" is a testament to their talent and staying power as a great rock band.
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
AWSOME is the only way to describe this album.If you are a Tesla fan GET THIS ALBUM!!!!!!I have seen them live 2 times,both worth every penny of my money.I am surprised it took this long to come out with an electric plugged in album because they are so good live.It is good to see the boys back together again.This will quench my thirst until the new studio album comes out in March.Oh and to VH1 you called Tesla a 2 hit wonder band?This album has 20 reasons why you were WRONG!!! A MUST BUY!!!
REPLUGGED LIVE is a great live reunion album from Tesla, who, along with Cinderella, Badlands, early Whitesnake, later Bon Jovi, and a few others, were like a metal version of Skynyrd or the Outlaws- melodic, yet raw and honest. This two-CD set features live versions of songs from the group's five 80s/early 90s albums. The music here proves an old adage: all hair bands were 80s hard rockers, but not all 80s hard rockers were hair bands.
Damn, rock used to be fun didn't it? This album brings me back to a day when you could rock out, headbang a little, wear black t-shirts, and go to concerts where everyone was having a blast. This album brings back those days very vividly.
Tesla was probably one of the most underrated bands of the late 80's-early 90's. Never getting the recognition or fame of lesser bands, Tesla plugged away, releasing solid album after solid album. Their fans were true fans. And many, like me, have never stopped listening to the. This live collection, recorded on small venue tours, is the compilation of the best of their music from old to relatively new. The song selection is solid, and the sound makes you feel like you are at the club listening to the show.
Call me old. Call me nostalgic for my youth. But if you pull up next to me at the stop light, don't look at me wierd because I'm blasting this album and enjoying the hell out of it.
I've been a huge Tesla fan since 1986. Unfortunately, I've never seen, or heard them LIVE. Now we've all heard Teslas' "5 Man Jam", but that's not really what I would consider a LIVE recording. It's just a bunch of guys sitting around having fun.This is what I've been waiting for, and now it's finally here….This CD is so awesome!!!….Tesla sounds so cool LIVE. All of their best songs are on here, and all of them rock!!!If you've ever been skeptical about buying a LIVE CD, don't worry about this one. This is one, if not the best LIVE CD's I've ever heard. The sound is crystal clear, and the songs on here are incredible. When Iron Maiden released "Live After Death" back in 1985, I never thought anybody could make a better LIVE album. Tesla has now reached that status. This Cd is packed full to the rim with power.I sure hope Tesla goes back into the studio, and then starts touring again. What a great treat this Cd is for all of us, I'm just so thankful to Tesla for putting this out for all of us. They are true to their fans, and when these guys decide to ROCK, they ROCK HARD!!!……This is the best CD I've heard this year.GO BUY IT NOW!!!TESLA RULES!!!!

The link under rock and ice news titled "ondra breaks through on czech sandstone" attempts to download a .exe file to my computer. This should probably be remedied before someone's computer gets wrecked.
The second and third link also do this. It's a problem over at rock and ice I think.
You're absolutely right. I'll notify the authorities. :)

United States Drought Monitor
NOTE: To view regional drought conditions, click on map above. State maps can be accessed from regional maps
The data cutoff for Drought Monitor maps is Tuesday at 8 a.m. EDT. The maps, which are based on analysis of the data, are released each Thursday at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time.

The U.S. Drought Monitor is produced in partnership between the National Drought Mitigation Center at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the United States Department of Agriculture, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
For local details and impacts, please contact your State Climatologist or Regional Climate Center
This U.S. Drought Monitor week saw an active pattern across the Northern Rockies, Northern Plains, and parts of the Midwest. In Montana, a slow-moving, low-pressure system delivered widespread heavy rainfall and flash flooding during the weekend. Across parts of the Southwest, eastern Great Basin, and Intermountain West, locally heavy monsoon rains continued to provide short-term relief to the region. In contrast, the Far West remained in a dry pattern except for some isolated thunderstorm activity in parts of the Mojave Desert in southeastern California. Overall, the seven-day average temperatures in the western U.S. were generally below normal. East of the Rockies, temperatures for the week were above normal – especially across the Southern Plains, Texas, and portions of the Midwest while New England and the Mid-Atlantic states experienced slightly cooler than normal temperatures. In the Midwest, locally heavy rains fell across portions of Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio bringing relief to scattered dry pockets in the region. In the Southeast, hot and dry conditions led to further deterioration of conditions across parts of Alabama and Georgia.
The Mid-Atlantic remained drought-free on this week's map. The only change on the map this week was in the Piedmont of North Carolina where recent rains improved conditions leading to removal of an area of Abnormally Dry (D0) in the north-central part of the state. Overall, temperatures were below-normal in Delaware, Maryland, and the eastern half of Virginia while North Carolina was near-normal. Rainfall was mainly concentrated in the western part of the region where rainfall accumulations were in the one-to-three inch range.
During the past week, significant rainfall accumulations (three-to-eight inches) were observed across much of the region with the highest accumulations reported in northern Indiana. Heavy rains helped to improved soil moisture and pasture conditions as well as area streamflows leading to removal of scattered pockets of Abnormally Dry (D0) in Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Minnesota, and Ohio. In southwestern Missouri, short-term precipitation deficits, below-normal streamflows, and reduced soil moisture led to the expansion of Abnormally Dry (D0) and Moderate Drought (D1) areas. Temperatures across the region were above-normal during the past week.
The weather system that would become Hurricane Cristobal, delivered five-to-ten inches of rain to Puerto Rico helping to alleviate some areas of Abnormally Dry (D0) and Moderate Drought (D1) along the southern coast. Despite the torrential rains, short-term precipitation deficits remained in eastern portions of the island. In the Hawaiian Islands, the only change to the map was the introduction of an area of Abnormally Dry (D0) in west Oahu. In Alaska, temperatures were well above normal across most of the state with the exception of Prince William Sound and the adjacent coastal mountains where above-average rainfall was observed while the rest of the state was generally near-normal in terms of precipitation for the week. Notable were record-breaking high temperatures reported in the Aleutians and southeast Alaska.
In New York, short-term precipitation deficits led to the introduction of an area of Abnormally Dry (D0) in the Catskills and Hudson Valley region. Otherwise, New England remained drought-free on the map this week. Temperatures across the region were slightly below normal except in Upstate New York and Maine where temperatures were four-to-five degrees above normal. Overall, the region was dry with the exception of some locally heavy rainfall (three-to-four inches) in the Adirondacks of New York.
Heavy rains fell across parts of the Northern Plains during the past week with two-to-six-inch accumulations in portions of North and South Dakota. Below-normal temperatures and rains led to the removal of Moderate Drought (D1) from South Dakota as well as areas of Abnormally Dry (D0) in the Dakotas and Nebraska. In southeastern Nebraska, short-term precipitation deficits and localized agricultural impacts on corn and soybean crops led to a minor expansion of an area of Moderate Drought (D1). In the Southern Plains, hot and dry conditions dominated the region with high temperatures exceeding 100° F in both Oklahoma and Kansas. Temperature departures from average were four-to-ten degrees above normal. In Oklahoma, drying ponds and low reservoir storage levels led to minor expansion of areas of Severe Drought (D2) in northeastern Oklahoma and Extreme Drought (D3) in southwestern Oklahoma.
During the past week, the South was hot and dry with temperatures reaching the high 90s to more than 100° F across most of the region. Some moderate to locally heavy precipitation (one-to-three inches) fell across isolated areas in the southern half of Louisiana, southeastern Texas, western Texas, and the Texas Panhandle. On the map, conditions across parts of Texas continued to deteriorate as below-normal precipitation, high maximum temperatures, reduced soil moisture, and low reservoirs led to expansion of areas of Moderate Drought (D1), Severe Drought (D2), and Extreme Drought (D3) in the North Central and Gulf Coast Plains regions. According to Water Data for Texas, Coastal Bend Area reservoirs are currently 35.3% full while the Rio Grande Region Planning Region reservoirs are currently 22.1% full. In contrast, the East Texas reservoirs are currently 96.4% full. In the Panhandle, isolated showers and thunderstorm activity led to a slight reduction in the spatial extent of Severe Drought (D2) and Extreme Drought (D3).
The Southeast was hot and generally dry during the past week with the exception of some isolated shower activity in southern Alabama, southeast Georgia, and Florida. According to the National Weather Service, a number of all-time daily high temperature records were broken across the region including: Montgomery, Alabama (100° F); Sarasota, Florida (100° F); Savannah, Georgia (100° F); Tallahassee, Florida (101° F); and Tampa, Florida (99° F). Some locally heavy rainfall accumulations (two-to-four inches) were observed in parts of southwestern and north-central Florida. Continued short-term precipitation deficits (30/60-day) and below-normal streamflows led to expansion of areas of Abnormally Dry (D0), Moderate Drought (D1), and Severe Drought (D2) in Alabama and Georgia. In southwestern Georgia, hot and dry conditions continued to deplete soil moisture and some minor agricultural impacts have been reported.
During the past week, significant rains fell across the eastern two-thirds of Montana. In central Montana, rainfall accumulations ranged from four-to-ten inches leading to flash flooding of local streams. According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the Missouri River at Landusky swelled to 35,000 cubic feet per second (cfs); well above mean flows at ~ 6000 cfs. In the Southwest, torrential monsoonal rains in the Phoenix Metro area and central Arizona led to flash flooding of dry washes and streams. In the Bradshaw Mountains north of Phoenix, four-to-eight inches of rain last week caused the Agua Fria River (above Lake Pleasant Reservoir) to swell to approximately 40,000 cfs (normal daily median discharge – 2 cfs), according to the USGS. The cumulative effect of the summer monsoon precipitation in Arizona led to one-category improvements in areas of Extreme Drought (D3), Severe Drought (D2), and Moderate Drought (D1) in central, southern, and western portions of the state. In these areas, beneficial rains improved the health of the vegetation, soil moisture, and surface water flows. Despite short-term gains in both Arizona and New Mexico, longer-term hydrological impacts (below-normal reservoir levels) remained after multiple years of below-normal snowpacks in the region's mountain ranges. In New Mexico, the Middle Rio Grande Conservancy District recently curtailed water bank deliveries for irrigation in response to low flows along the Rio Grande. The combination of short- and long-term hydrological impacts (below-normal reservoir storage levels, below-normal mountain snowpack conditions in the headwater regions) led to the re-introduction of an area of Moderate Drought (D1) in the Middle Rio Grande corridor from Socorro County northward to Sante Fe County. In the Upper Colorado River Basin, recent monsoonal shower and thunderstorm activity has improved streamflows and reduced precipitation deficits leading to one-category improvements in areas of Extreme Drought (D3) Severe Drought (D2), and Moderate Drought (D1) in northeastern Utah and extreme northwestern Colorado. In California, recent showers and thunderstorms in the Mojave Desert (southeastern California) led to a one-category improvement in an area of Severe Drought (D2). Otherwise, conditions in California remained unchanged on the map. Elsewhere around the West, reservoir storage levels remained well below normal in Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, and Oregon.
The NWS WPC 7-Day Quantitative Precipitation Forecast (QPF) calls for moderate-to-heavy precipitation accumulations (two-to-six inches) in an area stretching from the High Plains eastward to the Upper Midwest with lesser accumulations across the Lower Midwest, New England, Mid-Atlantic, and the Southeast. One-to-three inches are forecasted across the Gulf Coast region while the western U.S. will remain largely dry. The 6–10 day outlooks call for a high probability of above-normal temperatures across California, the Southwest, and the eastern half of the U.S. while below normal temperatures are forecasted across the Pacific Northwest, northern Rockies, and Intermountain West. A high probability of above-normal precipitation is forecasted for the Eastern tier while the West will be below-normal.
