Inside Minnesota, there's not much doubt about Kirby Puckett's Hall of Fame credentials. But how does he stack up against some of the Hall's other center fielders?
Article chronicling the very eventful last few months in the life of Denard Span. Piece also includes video of Span answering some very candid questions, from a group of young fans, during last winter's TwinsFest.
A fan shares an incredibly memorable story, about meeting the greatest Twin of them all, when the fan was a little kid. The story takes place in St. Louis Park, MN.
The Twins will play at least one more game at the Metrodome. Looks like they - and I - aren't quite ready to leave yet.
Wednesday night, rookie center fielder Carlos Gomez became the first Twin in 22 years to hit for the cycle. Gomez hit a home run to lead off the game, struck out in the third inning, slapped an...

Amar'e Stoudemire's first game back from injury hasn't gone anywhere close to plan. He's just 3-8 from the field in 17 minutes, took nearly three full quarters to score his first hoop and has been a disaster defensively. It's going to take some time for him to regain his rhythm.
But at least he seems to have his explosiveness again. This dunk came off a turnover and a nice pass from J.R. Smith, to be fair, but it's nice for Knicks fans to see an Amar'e dunk for old time's sake.

she will see tomorrow as she id coming back tomorrow.
I think I would vr bought little bigger ear studs. As on website it stated total weight, not weight of each stud.
Great value
They look great, except that one of the backs was slightly bent when they arrived. The studs are a thick, so it was difficult for wife to get them through her piercings.
Excellent quality!
These earrings are so beautiful!!! They are so sparkly!! I like the fact that you can order diamonds that are rated, so you know what you're getting. Excellent quality, and I always recommend Blue Nile to all of my friends.
Happy birthday mom
How can you go wrong with diamond studs? Blue nile did an exceptional job, simple and elegant.
Somewhat disappointed
The earrings looked okay but I was disappointed that there was no documentation that indicated the grading of the diamonds received. I guess I will need to get them appraised to see if you shipped what I had ordered.
Better than expected
Loved the earrings as soon as I opened the box. I don't think the online pictures could have done them justice.
Beautiful, though smaller than expected
These are beautiful earrings. One thing I'd say is the drawn picture is a little misleading, and they are smaller than they are made out to be (and my wife has small ear lobes). Regardless, processing a refund and reordering a new item was probably the quickest, most efficient customer service phone call I've ever experienced.
Beautiful diamonds
Beautiful diamonds. Perfect size. She loved them. However, the back is a bit tricky to screw on and doesn't seem to screw all the way down.
Love them
I love the earrings. The only issue is somehow I lost one of my backs and was told I would have to pay 25.00.
Exactly what I wanted
The earrings are gorgeous! The diamonds are lovely and so sparkly. I was worried the size would be small, but I find 1/2 ct works well for me. These are definately large enough to make a statement. The screw backs are very secure.
No documents
Good looking diamonds but beware they do not come with papers or certification.
Perfect wedding gift
Great purchase. I bought these as the gift for my wife for our wedding day. She loves them.
Good as far as I can tell
I cannot find my loop to investigate the clarity however the color is good. The wife picked these out and seems very pleased with them.
she thinks they are very nice
I thought they would be a little larger, I don't know diamonds.
Good buy for size and mount
The diamonds were good in all catagories and the stud post and threads are long preventing loss.
Very nice earrings
Very helpful with diamond selection Prompt service and very nice diamond earrings
Real sparkle
Diamonds were excellent compared to the past ones from other places. The white gold looks pretty good. They kep catching my eye. The sparkle can be seen from any angle and any lighting like a real diamond should. They were so good, i know where I am going to do my next purchase from. Cant go wrong with overnight shipping for free either.
Wife loves them!
My wife loves them and hasn't taken them off since she opened the box.
Beautiful and Sparkly Earrings
This is my first BN purchase. Received promptly, beautiful, very sparkly earrings. My Fiancee put them on and has not taken them off since in two weeks. I knew what to expect size- wise using the online diamond size chart and matched my expectations exactly. From the way she reacted, they might as well have been a full carat each.

Perak (Jawi: ڨيرق,), one of the 13 states of Malaysia, is the second largest state in Peninsular Malaysia. It borders Kedah and the Thai Yala Province to the north; Penang to the northwest; Kelantan and Pahang to the east; Selangor to the south, and the Straits of Malacca to the west. Perak also is the second most developed state in Malaysia, behind Selangor.
The state's administrative capital of Ipoh was known historically for tin-mining activities until the price of the metal dropped, severely affecting the state's economy. The royal capital, however remains at Kuala Kangsar, where the palace of the Sultan of Perak is located.
The Arabic honorific of Perak is Darul Ridzuan ("Abode of Grace").
The state's official name is Perak Darul Ridzuan (Jawi: ڨيرق دار الرّضوان), or "Perak, the Abode of Grace" Perak means silver in Malay, which is probably derived from the silvery colour of tin. In the 1890s, Perak, with the richest alluvial deposits of tin in the world was one of the jewels in the crown of the British Empire. However, some say the name comes from the "glimmer of fish in the water" that sparkled like silver. Darul Ridzuan is the state's Arabic honorific, and can mean either "land" or "abode" of grace.
Legend tells of a Hindu-Malay Kingdom called Gangga Negara in the northwest of Perak. Archaeological discoveries indicate that Perak was inhabited since prehistoric times.
The modern history of Perak began with the fall of the Malacca Sultanate. Raja Muzaffar Shah, (the eldest son of the last Sultan of Melaka, Sultan Mahmud Shah) fled the Portuguese conquest of 1511 and established his own dynasty on the banks of the Sungai Perak (Perak River) in 1528. Being rich in tin ore deposits, the dominion was under almost continuous threat from outsiders.
The Dutch attempted to control the tin trade in the 17th century, and built defensive forts at the mouth of the Perak River and on Pulau Pangkor.
Early history recorded the arrival in Perak of the Dutch in 1641, when they captured the Straits of Malacca and controlled tin-ore and spice trading. However, the Dutch attempt to monopolise the tin-ore trading in Perak by influencing Sultan Muzaffar Syah failed. They then turned to Sultanah Tajul Alam Safiatuddin, the Sultan of Aceh, to seek permission to trade in Perak, which forced the Sultan of Perak to sign a treaty, allowing the Dutch to build their plant in Kuala Perak on August 15, 1650. This did not go down well with the aristocracy of Perak.
In 1651, Temenggung and the people of Perak attacked and destroyed the Dutch plant. The Dutch were forced to leave their base in Perak. The Dutch sent a representative to Perak in 1655 to renew the earlier agreement and to seek compensation for the loss of their plant. The Perak government however did not honour the treaty and was thus surrounded by the Dutch; in retaliation, the people of Perak, Aceh, and Ujung Salang, launched a surprise attack on the Dutch.
In 1670, the Dutch returned to Perak to build Kota Kayu, now known as Kota Belanda ("Dutch Fortress"), on Pangkor Island. Perak agreed to the construction because of news that the Kingdom of SUX Siam would be attacking the state. Nevertheless, in 1685, Perak once again attacked the Dutch on Pangkor Island, forcing them to retreat and close their headquarters. The Dutch attempted to negotiate for a new treaty, but failed.
In the 19th century, the Bugis, Acehnese, and the Thai all attempted to invade Perak, and only British intervention in 1820 prevented Siam from annexing Perak. Although the British were initially reluctant to establish a colonial presence in Malaya, increasing investment in the tin mines brought a great influx of Chinese immigrants, including Foo Ming, who formed rival clan groups allied with Malay chiefs and local gangsters which all fought for control of the mines. The Perak Sultanate was unable to maintain order as it was embroiled in a protracted succession crisis, .
In her book The Golden Chersonese and The Way Thither (published 1892 G.P. Putnam's Sons), Victorian traveller and adventurer Isabella Lucy Bird (1831–1904) describes how Raja Muda Abdullah (as he then was) turned to his friend in Singapore, Tan Kim Ching. Tan, together with an English merchant in Singapore, drafted a letter to Governor Sir Andrew Clarke which Abdullah signed. The letter expressed Abdullah's desire to place Perak under British protection, and "to have a man of sufficient abilities to show (him) a good system of government." In 1874, the Straits Settlements governor Sir Andrew Clarke convened a meeting on Pulau Pangkor, at which Sultan Abdullah was installed on the throne of Perak in preference to his rival, Sultan Ismail. This Pangkor Treaty also required that the Sultan of Perak accept a British Resident, a post granted wide administrative powers.
In 1875, various Perak chiefs assassinated the British Resident James W. W. Birch, resulting in the short-lived Perak War of 1876. Sultan Abdullah was exiled to the Seychelles, and the British installed a new ruler. The new resident, Sir Hugh Low, was well-versed in the Malay language and local customs, and proved to be a more capable administrator. He also introduced the first rubber trees in Malaya. Perak joined Selangor, Negeri Sembilan and Pahang to form the Federated Malay States in 1896. However, the British Resident system persisted until the Malayan Union was established in 1948. Perak (as a component of the Federation of Malaya) gained its independence from the British on 31 August 1957.
Under the laws of the Constitution of Perak, Perak is a constitutional monarchy, with a constitutional hereditary ruler. The current Sultan of Perak is Sultan Azlan Muhibbuddin Shah, who was the ninth Yang di-Pertuan Agong of Malaysia and formerly the Lord President of the Supreme Court of Malaysia.
Following the opposition coalition winning Perak in the 2008 general election, Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin of Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) was appointed as the new Menteri Besar (Chief Minister) of the state eventually,[3] although the Democratic Action Party (DAP) won the most seats compared to other opposition parties. The Menteri Besar did not come from the Chinese-dominant party as the state constitution states that the Chief Minister must be a Muslim, unless the Sultan specially appoints a non-Muslim Chief Minister. As DAP does not have any Muslim assemblymen, if the Sultan insists that the Chief Minister must be a Muslim, then the assemblymen would have to come from either Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) or PAS, which formed the coalition state government with DAP. On February 3, 2009, Barisan Nasional, the national ruling party, gained control over the state government, after the defections of three Pakatan Rakyat assemblymen.[4] However, several cases have been filed in the Kuala Lumpur High Court challenging the validity of the new Barisan Nasional government, causing a constitutional crisis. Adding to this crisis is the fact that the Pakatan Rakyat Menteri Besar has refused to resign and states that he is still the legal Menteri Besar until he is removed through vote of no confidence or snap election.
Perak is divided into 10 administrative districts which are further divided into local administrative Municipal councils. The following is a list of the 10 administrative districts in terms of population.[5]
|Population 2009
|Larut, Matang & Selama
|Hilir Perak
|Batang Padang
|Kuala Kangsar
|Perak Tengah
|Hulu Perak
Please note that the districts of Kerian and Larut, Matang dan Selama have been wrongly labelled in the map on the right. Both districts are in the northwest corner of the state. Kerian district is in the west and Larut, Matang dan Selama is in the east.
In February 2009, Barisan Nasional retook Perak State Assembly from the Pakatan Rakyat government, after the defections of Hee Yit Foong (Jelapang), Jamaluddin Mohd. Radzi (Behrang) and Mohd. Osman Jailu (Changkat Jering) to Barisan Nasional as independent assemblymen. The Sultan of Perak dismissed the Pakatan Rakyat government but refused to dissolve the state assembly and thus trigger new elections. Amid multiple protests, lawsuits and arrests, a new Barisan Nasional-led State Assembly was sworn in on May 7, but the takeover was ruled illegal by the High Court in Kuala Lumpur on May 11, 2009, restoring power to the Pakatan Rakyat.[6] However immediately on the next day, the court of appeal suspended the judgement of the High Court in Kuala Lumpur pending a new judgement from the court of appeal, and followed by May 22, 2009, the Court of Appeal overturned the High Court's decision and returned power back to the Barisan Nasional. Many supporters of the opposition party, DAP, claim that the crisis was effectively a 'power grab'.[7]

Once Malaysia's most populous state, Perak has yet to recover from an economic slowdown caused by the decline in the tin mining industry. The weak economy has led to a massive drain in manpower to higher-growth states such as Penang, Selangor and the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur. Perak's population is at an annual rate of 0.4% growth.
The ethnic composition of the population was estimated in 2001 to be:
The population breakdown estimation for 2010 is:
As of 2010 the population of Perak is 55.3% Muslim, 25.4% Buddhist, 10.9% Hindu, 4.3% Christian, 1.7% Taoist or Chinese religion follower, 1.5% follower of other religions, and 0.9% non-religious.
Perak covers an area of 21,035 km2 (8,122 sq mi),[1] making up 6.4 percent of total land banks in Malaysia.[10] It is the second largest Malaysian state in the Malay Peninsula, and the fourth in the whole of Malaysia.
Perak's days are warm and sunny, while its nights are cool the whole year through, with occasional rains in the evenings. Temperature is fairly constant, that is, from 23 °C to 33 °C, with humidity often more than 82.3 percent. Annual rainfall measures at 3,218 mm.[10]
Perak was one of Malaysia's wealthiest states during Malaya's colonial period, as much of Malaya's mineral deposits were situated here. The tin industry here subsequently flourished under the auspices of the British fueled by the ongoing Industrial Revolution then. The global tin industry collapsed in the 1980s, subsequently forcing the closure of many local tin mines concurrently crippling Perak's economy.
This turn of events led the local state government to diversify the economy's base towards commodity-based manufacturing. The mid-1980s witnessed a large influx of electronics SMEs from Taiwan to Silibin and Jelapang industrial estates, but these have relocated to China in the 1990s as a result of outsourcing. A local car manufacturing hub called Proton City at Tanjung Malim has been developed with the establishment of state-of-the-art car manufacturing facilities, it is the largest manufacturer of Proton cars. However, the economy has never fully recovered from the decline of the tin industry.
Agriculture is also one of Perak's main industries, especially those concerning rubber, coconut and palm oil. Tourism is a growing industry given the state's abundant natural attractions.[10]
Perak is set to become the second state (after Kelantan) to introduce the gold dinar and silver dirham as official currency.[11]
There are several places of interest in Perak, such as its state capital, Ipoh, legendary for their silky noodles in soup called 'Sar Hor Fun' and Hainanese chicken rice. Tambun pomelos are another attraction to locals from other states.
The Lost World of Tambun theme park has leisure and natural offerings and is surrounded by a 400 million-year-old limestone mountain and includes a 175-room hotel.[12]
Kuala Kangsar, just 48 km north of Ipoh on the Perak River, is the royal town of Perak. It is dominated by three buildings: Istana Iskandariah, Istana Kenangan and the Ubudiah Mosque. The Istana Iskandariah, located on a hill overlooking the river, is the palace of the Sultan of Perak. Istana Kenangan, which was constructed as a temporary residence during the Iskandariah's construction is known for its beautiful architecture. The Ubudiah Mosque is an impressive structure topped with a constellation of bright golden domes.[13]
Perak State Museum is located in Taiping, and is the oldest museum in Malaysia.
Kellie's Castle is located in Batu Gajah. It was built in 1915 and was never completed as the owner William Kellie Smith returned to England and died there. Many believe the castle is haunted, having many secret rooms and even a hidden tunnel. Today, it is opened as a tourist attraction.
Accessible from Lumut, the Pangkor Island holds a mix of quaint fishing settlements and white beaches decked with rich vegetation. The warm waters are perfect for swimming and diving while the atmosphere is simply relaxing. Many resorts are available for accommodation on this popular island.
A beautiful white water rafting location in Perak is at My Gopeng Resort (Gopeng). Many are here to do white water rafting (Grade 3), waterfall abseiling, rafflesia's flower trekking, jungle trekking and many others adventurous packages in Perak.
The railway service is undergoing major upgrading with the advent of electrified trains running on double tracks from Kuala Lumpur to Ipoh. Ipoh Railway Station is an imposing structure in the city centre. Built in the Moorish style, this white structure, nicknamed the Taj Mahal of Ipoh, was completed in 1935 to replace the original railway platform shed built in 1917. The Ipoh railway station is said to be the second most beautiful railway station in Malaysia after the Kuala Lumpur Railway Station. It is located on Jalan Panglima Bukit Gantang Wahab.
Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman and Tunku Abdul Rahman University College have it branch campus at Kampar, while Universiti Teknologi Petronas has it main campus at Seri Iskandar.
Lemang, a Malay delicacy made from glutinous rice cooked in a bamboo tube over slow fire is a must-have during the festivities such as Hari Raya Aidilfitri and Hari Raya Haji, especially along with some rendang. Some say lemang originated from the indigenous people who cook their rice using bamboo.
Tempoyak is another popular Malay delicacy. It is durian extract which is preserved and kept in an urn. Commonly eaten with chillies and other dishes, it is well known due to the popularity of its key ingredient, durian, among the locals.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — U.S. Rep. Chris Murphy is stepping up his courtship of Latino voters in the tight race for U.S. Senate.
Murphy says he will be a regular visitor to Latino neighborhoods between now and the Nov. 6 election. He also is planning to launch Spanish-language advertisements.
On Thursday he campaigned in Hartford with the city's Puerto Rico-born mayor, Pedro Segarra, and the island's delegate to the U.S. Congress, Pedro Pierluisi.
While Latino voters tilt Democratic, their votes are hardly a lock for Murphy. More than 71,000 of the state's estimated 176,700 registered Latino voters are unaffiliated, and community leaders say they are struck by how little either candidate — Murphy or his Republican opponent, Linda McMahon — have reached out to the Spanish-speaking population.

Should you ever forget that Crazy Old Testament God is the god of college football, Georgia's would-be starting left tackle Trinton Sturdivant is here to remind you. After one steady season blocking for Matt Stafford in 2007, a left ACL tear that sidelined him for 2008, another left ACL tear that sidelined him for 2009, what does Sturdivant do? Bypasses the NFL draft after regaining his starting spot in 2010, returns to Athens, and tears his right ACL in a scrimmage.
Head athletic trainer Ron Courson said, through a team spokesman, that Sturdivant will "undergo surgery sometime this week to repair the knee ligament and is expected to conduct his rehab at UGA."
Even for those of us who loathe Georgia football with the heat of a thousand suns, this is patently, cosmically unfair. College football has lost another excellent name, and wee Aaron Murray has lost some much-needed protection on his blind side. SB Nation's Dawg Sports grits their collective teeth and wishes the hole in their O-line well:
This is a tough break for a damn good 'Dawg who deserved better than this heading into his final season of collegiate competition. Get well soon, Trinton.
Stay tuned to Dawg Sports and this StoryStream for more news on Sturdivant's progress as we hear about it. Does the NCAA grant three-season medical hardship waivers?

Lubbock ISD wants to start educating your children earlier. Starting next fall, three elementary schools will offer a pilot pre-k tuition program.
60 students will be randomly selected for the program. But, parents must pay a monthly tuition fee of $370 per month. That money will pay for the teachers, teacher assistants, class materials and field trips. To be eligible, children must be four years old on or before September 1, 2005.
"It really leads us to a point where every child has a quality pre-school experience which gives them the headstart they need to do well in school," said Kathy Rollo, the Pre-K Coordinator at Murfee Elementary School.

DDT for bed bugs?
It was only a matter of time. Lately newspapers have been filled with stories about the return of bed bugs, those nocturnal bloodsuckers that most of us had previously encountered only in our parents' nightly admonition to not let them bite. I grew up thinking that they weren't even real, just something adults made up along the lines of the bogeyman, monsters, and the tooth fairy. But they are indeed real, and they were once common in the U.S., until — as nearly every contemporary article about their resurgence points out — they were eliminated by the use of DDT just after WWII. So it was only a matter of time before people started blaming the current resurgence of bed bugs on EPA's ban on DDT.
Luckily, this erroneous claim has until recently been confined to anti-environmentalist authors on the fringes of the right-wing — those same folks who spread doubt about global warming and the health effects of toxic chemicals, many of whom also used to deny the harms of smoking. I'm thinking in particular about a column that appeared a month ago in the New York Post by Paul Driessen and a July 29th "Dispatch" on the American Council on Science and Health's website.
According to ACSH's Executive Director Dr. Gilbert Ross,
The resurgence of bed bugs ... can be at least partially attributed to the prohibition of DDT and other highly effective pesticides. Unfortunately, because of the draconian restrictions instituted against use of the pesticides — due to superstition and chemophobia — bedbugs now have the upper foreleg here.
Driessen opines that:
New Yorkers want real solutions [to bed bugs], including affordable insecticides that work. Fear and loathing from decades of chemophobic indoctrination are slowly giving way to a healthy renewed recognition that the risk of not using chemicals can be greater than the risk of using them (carefully). Eco-myths are being replaced with more informed discussions about the alleged effects of DDT and other pesticides on humans and wildlife.
... and then spends the rest of the column railing against the EPA's ban on DDT. While he stops short of explicitly blaming the DDT ban for the resurgence of bed bugs, it's strongly implied throughout the column.
The Facts
There are a couple big problems with this narrative. One is that DDT was banned in the U.S. in 1972, but it wasn't until just a few years ago that bed bugs returned to our shores. Thirty years is an awfully long lag time. Another is that bed bugs still plague many parts of the world where homes are still sprayed with DDT for malaria control.
But what's most problematic is that bed bugs are resistant to DDT. So even if exterminators could have been using it all this time, it wouldn't have done anyone any good.
As early as 1948 DDT-resistant bed bugs were noted in Hawaii, and a 1958 paper in the Bulletin of the World Health Organization found resistance in bed bugs collected from sites around the world. A few years later, as documented in an excellent post at New York vs Bed Bugs, the U.S. Army Environmental Hygiene Agency Medical Entomology Division was noting DDT-resistance emerging elsewhere in the U.S., and by 1982 the World Health Organization was reporting that bed bugs were resistant to DDT "almost everywhere." An EPA/CDC joint statement notes that bedbugs were "widely resistant" by the mid 1950's —15 to 20 years before the EPA banned domestic DDT use.
And these blood suckers haven't lost their resistance since we stopped using DDT. Two recent studies from the Journal of Agricultural and Urban Entomology and Pest Control Technology confirm as much. And by the way, there are more effective, less toxic solutions.
Driessen and ACSH have a long history of distorting the facts on DDT and other environmental issues, so it's not surprising that they've gotten the bedbug story wrong. What worries me is that this misconception will spread and will be used as a launchpad for jumping to another misguided conclusion: that DDT should be brought back to fight bed bugs.
In fact that's already happening. Just last month, the New York Times repeated the myth ("Bed bugs, once nearly eradicated, have spread across New York City, in part because of the decline in the use of DDT"), and the Washington Post recently made the same mistake. And now calls for bringing back DDT are starting to be heard in the blogosphere. Unfortunately, myths are easier to start than they are to correct — even when the facts are readily available. Let's hope the calls for renewed use of DDT against bed bugs fizzle in the blogosphere, and don't infest the mainstream media.

Many families will be traveling on vacation or to visit relatives this summer. While vacations are supposed to be carefree and relaxing, if you are not cautious you may end up bringing more than just souvenirs back with you.
You missed allot of facts that completely disprove your hole post....
first off a huge one why it toke so long to start being a bedbug epidemic, even up to now, is everyone knew large amounts of DDT can stay in the environment for months to years to decades 30 years ain't even close to a century there are still animals that are effected by the use of DDT 40 years after its ban
secondly every insect has had strains of immunity even strains of mosquito's had many cases of DDT being ineffective
third fact yes DDT was a huge part of the almost eradication of bedbugs and its banned use is one of the largest contributions to their return
lastly i'm not supporting bringing back DDT as it is a big environmental price to pay for something that could be controlled other ways if anything the most i would maybe say fine to is use in properly licensed exterminator companies in instances that are controlled and indoors only and even that's a big maybe, but either way in the end if your going to write an blog on DDT don't just write the facts that support only your opinion

vacation rental description
The Beach Bungalow is a unique set of very private oceanfront garden
villas that we've owned and been improving on for 20+ years. Ann and
I have used our boat building and design backgrounds to create very
comfortable and well appointed beach homes in the heart of the
oceanfront of our little beach town.
Our location just down the beach from our little boardwalk area can't
be beat. The villas are very private, the beach is lifeguarded much
of the year, and amenities like the best seafood restaurant in the
county are only a couple of blocks away. Plus we'll hook you up with
our friendly local seafood wholesaler for great shrimp, mahi, snapper
and all sorts of good stuff.
And if you don't like leaving your dog behind, you don't have to.
Each villa has a fully fenced private garden and the hardwood and
terracotta tile flooring inside are dog heaven. Unlike most dog
friendly places, we specifically designed our villas to be very dog
friendly while still being very, very clean.
Many of our guests have been coming back for years and consider their
favorite villa their own beach home.
Please email us with any questions you may have and we hope to see
you at the beach!

Dunne happy to make priority signings for U's (From Halstead Gazette)

Dunne happy to make priority signings for U's
Updated 9:30am Thursday 3rd July 2014 in Sport By Jonathan Waldron
Colchester United boss Joe Dunne says it was vital he strengthened the full-back and goalkeeper positions in his squad, following the departure of experienced players this summer.
Skipper Brian Wilson and Ryan Dickson both left for rival League One clubs, while goalkeeper Mark Cousins joined League Two side Dagenham and Redbridge.
Dunne has filled the void left by their departures by signing Sean Clohessy, Ben Gordon and Chris Lewington, all on two-year deals.
Some fans have called for Colchester to sign a new forward to replace Clinton Morrison, who left at the end of last season.
But Dunne insists the trio of players he brought in earlier this week were his top priorities.
He said: "They're the ones I wanted and that's what is important.
"We've been patient and these positions were important to fill.
"I know there might be talk about other positions being priority.
"But as far as I'm concerned, we've lost a left-back, a right-back and a goalkeeper.
"It was very important that we got what we needed and we'll work on other positions as we go forward."

Take for example if we were to sign Clive Platt or any other mediocre striker, would they then be the resolution to our goal problem ?
In my eyes, our problem is not our lack of resources but the way in which they are applied, often our attacking options do not get into the box, and our killer balls in the final third need to be better.
This is something i am hoping will be addressed in pre season although i think it also relies on confidence and trust.
In case you didnt see this last time Baz, i've decided to repost, What are your thoughts ?

I think the way Dunne sets up the squad allows for a greater capacity of goals across the park. Personally i would like to see a few more goals from set pieces, along with an improved goal count from the wide men.(wright, massey, watt, vose) As i said previously, i think this can come from improved distribution in the final third and greater anticipation from a lot of the players.
I think goal count for us will come as a team effort, and so its not just the strikers we will rely on.

Staff Report
The Commercial-News
---- — DANVILLE — For those who still need information about the Affordable Care Act, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois will present a session on Tuesday.
The one-hour meeting will start at 10 a.m. Tuesday on the second floor at Vermilion Advantage, 28 W. North St.
The meeting is open to everyone, not just Blue Cross Blue Shield members. However, space is limited and people need to register in advance.
The new health care law became law in 2010 to improve the health care system. It aims to provide access to health insurance to more people, make it easy to shop for and buy health insurance and, over time, lower the cost of care.
At the educational session, people will learn: what actions they may want to take; how the new law will benefit individuals who already have insurance, don't have insurance, or were denied coverage due to a pre-existing condition; how to shop and buy coverage on the new health insurance exchange websites; and how to get help paying for health insurance monetary subsidies for eligible people.
People will learn about requirements to get coverage and the penalty for not getting coverage.
Some parts of the law are in place now, and many more become effective on Jan. 1. People may begin to shop for an insurance plan on a health insurance exchange website now.
People may view and compare the health plan options on the Health Insurance Marketplace and enroll in their choice of 2014 health coverage now through March 31.
Dec. 15 is the deadline for coverage that takes effect Jan. 1.
A grassroots organization, Be Covered Illinois, has been formed to engage, educate, and enroll the uninsured. In addition to providing a bilingual website, informational materials, and a text campaign, Be Covered Illinois also has launched a bilingual consumer education hotline at (888) 809-2796. Consumers can call this toll-free number Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. for more information about requirements of the new federal health care law.
To register To reserve your place at this educational session, call (866) 755-7326. Space is limited. Learn more about the law at www.becoveredillinois.org and www.healthcare.gov.

Merry Hill to lay on shuttle bus for festive shoppers
1:42pm Wednesday 12th December 2012 in Local
MERRY Hill is laying on a new free shuttle bus to help make last-minute shopping stress free.
The bus will run this Saturday and Sunday (December 15 and 16) and on Saturday and Sunday December 22 and 23 to take shoppers parking at the Waterfront down to a drop-off point outside Sainsbury's at Merry Hill and back again.
Kelly Reed, Merry Hill marketing manager, said: "With the big day fast approaching, we thought we'd work a Christmas miracle and help out our busy shoppers.
"The shuttle bus will relieve the congestion that inevitably builds up at this time of year - customers can now shop til they drop, hop on the bus and be whisked back to their cars hassle-free."
The bus will run from 9am to 8pm on Saturdays and from 11am to 5pm on Sundays.
Shoppers should follow the Santa signs as they drive in.
From Monday December 17 to Friday December 21 the centre will also be open until midnight.

That exception expires in July, so the last chance to use it is at the 2011 NBA Draft. A report from Draft Express indicates the Cavaliers approached the Memphis Grizzlies about using the trade exception to acquire Rudy Gay for the No. 4 pick, but the Grizzlies rejected it.
Gay is one year into a five-year maximum contract that will pay him $15 million next season and nearly $69 million for the next four years. It's a large contract for a small-market team that also gave Zach Randolph a large contract and will need to do similar things with free agent Marc Gasol and upcoming free agent O.J. Mayo. Cleveland's trade exception is for $14.5 million, so it corresponds nearly perfectly.
However, it appears Memphis doesn't think the No. 4 pick in a weak draft is a good enough haul for Gay. The Grizzlies are also probably worried about making a rebuilding trade after gaining so many fans with their surprising playoff run.

It's not clear how many people develop the frequent loose, watery stools that characterize diarrhea after surgery to remove their gallbladders (cholecystectomy). Studies have found as few as 1 in 100 people undergoing gallbladder surgery or as many as 1 in 3 develops diarrhea. In most cases, the diarrhea resolves soon after the surgery. Rarely, it may last for years.
The cause of diarrhea after gallbladder removal isn't clear. Some experts believe that it results from an increase in bile, especially bile acids, entering the large intestine — which may act as a laxative.
Treatments you and your doctor may consider for controlling your diarrhea after cholecystectomy include:
Talk to your doctor about your options. You may also consider limiting foods that can worsen diarrhea in general, including:

Angle Snowplow Blade Manually NEW VIDEO ADDED

Angle Snowplow Blade Manually NEW VIDEO ADDED
This came about because I started plowing snow with my newest Cub, Hercules.
And realized very quickly that getting off and on to change the angle of the blade was for the birds.
I didn't want to spend the money or the time to install the hydraulic angling system some have on their plows,
so I started thinking about alternatives.
Being able to pull a cable to raise the pin, swivel the blade and drop the pin, all from from the driver's seat.
Here is one way to make snow plowing more enjoyable at a very low cost.
The hardest part of this project was the spring loaded pin (latch).
I tried to buy a pre-made one like this http://www.harborfreight.com/spring-gate-latch-assembly-95018.html
but the pin is only 1/2", not 5/8" like the typical blade pin.
You may want to go this route - it is a sloppy fit - but it makes the hole alignment easier.
So, I ended up making a latch. [There may be a latch available to purchase, I didn't want to spend the time looking]
Since there wasn't any tube or channel around our place, I formed a bracket from 1/4" steel.
Found a spring, cut a piece of 5/8" diameter rod and added a roll pin.
I figured on having 1-1/4" of rod protrude below the bracket into the blade holes.
Then welded a piece of a chain link that was lying on the table for a loop.
Tack welded it in place...This is a very tricky part....Hole alignment is critical.
I actually cut mine off and re-tacked it in a slightly different location.
It would be a good idea to check the bushing in your pivot bolt...this helps with hole clearances.
Also, the holes can be slightly off depending on whether the blade is suspended or lying on the ground.
After I was final welded, I ran a 5/8" drill bit thru the bracket into all of my holes.
Latch complete.
You may want to use one of these if you don't want to fab your own pin http://www.harborfreight.com/easy-grip-hitch-pin-91306.html
Rick P. or one of the other talented gents here may refine this idea and fabricate and sell a ready-made bolt-it-on latch with mounting slots for easier adjustment in lining up with your holes....hint, hint.
Then I went looking for some parts for the pulley.
My pulley wouldn't slide over a 1/2" bolt...But there was a bolt on the workbench that had threads messed up at the end.
So I ground it down to slide thru the pulley.
Here it is all assembled.
I had briefly tested the latch [spring-loaded pin assembly] with nylon rope and it seemed to work fine.
But the next day I wasn't happy with the amount of stretch in the rope, so off to the barn to scrounge.
I found a coated metal cable from an old dog run we had. This worked out better.
Still needed to come up with a handle to pull on the cable. And how to anchor it.
Thought about making some sort of lever mounted to the steering post, but there was about a 4" difference in the length of the cable
between the blade in the raised position and the fully lowered position.
I replaced the bolt thru the steering post with an eyebolt. Can you guess what it was from?
Found an old mop handle attached it to the end of the cable.
Routed the rest of the cable.
It works really well.
Below are some videos of the final testing...Pushing against a tree stump [no snowbanks available] to swivel the blade.
It also will swivel by dragging on the ground and turning the wheels one way or the other.
I hope you benefit from this little project. It was fun and it helps keep me in the seat - for more seat time !!

Re: Angle Snowplow Blade Manually
Great job. As mentioned I think you could hook it to the depth lever also.
Re: Angle Snowplow Blade Manually
I wasn't exactly sure how this was going to turn out. I figured it was going to be neat.. but this goes beyond neat.. it is kinda cool Very nice job an thanks for documenting it. I copied it to the How To Forum -- as another one of the How I Did That kind of posts....., locked it and it is now in safely in the In The Barn section of the CBoK Index with the other Cub-54 modifications.
Well done, it is really slick.

Re: Angle Snowplow Blade Manually
Simply elegant Involves just enough fabrication to make it interesting (without $$$$$ in machine tools required) and it is an inexpensive major improvement. Question: How far out can you have an adjustable axle before it starts interfering with needed blade angle
Re: Angle Snowplow Blade Manually
Very nice job Dave. By the way, did you ever get that stump pushed over?

Re: Angle Snowplow Blade Manually
Bill...my axle is out pretty far...doesn't hit it...others will probably chime in today.
Bob...I actually did a test of swiveling the blade by dragging it on the ground, but didn't video it.

Three people were displaced by an apartment fire on West Street in Seymour Monday evening.
No one was injured during the fire.
Two units were affected at the West Brook Apartments, officials said.
Crews said they could see smoke coming out of the building hours after crews put out the flames out.
"When I go back into my apartment tonight it is safe," said Marilyn Childs, who lives in the apartment. "But, I think they're taking good care. I don't think I have anything to worry about."
The fire is believed to have began when embers burned through a fireplace in an upper level unit.

Authorities at the University of Georgia (UGA) are searching for two people they suspect are responsible for several thefts on campus.
According to UGA police chief Jimmy Williamson, the are suspects in a string of thefts in a number of general buildings on campus. The thefts have been plaguing the campus for about three weeks.
The suspects are described as a black female and a black male. The female is about 5'10 tall with an average build and the male is about 6' tall with a thin build.
Both appear to be in their "mid-twenties to mid-thirties." They are known to drive a newer model silver Dodge Avenger with an infant. Williamson says the pair was spotted using credit cards stolen from UGA at an Atlanta area Target store.
Police are advising students to secure their belongings and faculty to lock their office doors.
Anyone with information that can help identify either of these suspects is urged to contact the University of Georgia Police Department at 706-542-2200.

When you think about it, hockey really is a funny game. In what other sport (other than boxing and MMA), is fighting a largely accepted element — penalized, but done so with a wink and a nod? It is a sport where failing to tie down your sweater is penalized more harshly than pummeling your opponent and where elementary safeguards, such as helmets, goalie masks and visors have inched their way into the game over the grudging "Hrrumphs" of grizzled veterans. Where else do players and coaches talk about playing the game "the right way"? For that matter, in what other sporting endeavor do the participants wear "sweaters"?
No, hockey is steeped in tradition, and surrenders to progress with great reluctance. It's players are — for the most part — polite, soft-spoken and subservient to The Game. In many ways, hockey is more akin to golf than any of the teams sports, with the ceremony attendant to winning The Cup not far removed from hoisting The Claret Jug at St. Andrews. Of the team sports, baseball comes closest to that sense of tradition, but still falls somewhat short.
Tradition is a great thing, but sometimes it crosses the line into bias. A large segment of the hockey population relies on tradition to cast aspersions on those "pretenders" who would dare to join the fraternity of hockey cities. After all, hockey is the birthright of Canada and The Original Six, and the rest are largely pretenders. Sure, Minnesota and Buffalo are readily accepted, as they are almost in Canada anyway. The Flyers get admitted to "the club" by virtue of sheer nastiness — or "Old Time Hockey" — as the Hansen Brothers would call it. The Blues get a pass as well, due to the illustrious names passing through that franchise since 1967. New Jersey and the Islanders are accepted, both because they fall in the geographical "sweet spot" of the NHL, and their ability to hoist The Cup. Other than that, however, there is a significant segment of the hockey community that views hockey in "non-traditional" markets as a fool's errand, and would much rather see a 16 team NHL than cater to the likes of Phoenix, Dallas, Tampa Bay, Carolina, Nashville, Florida . . . and Columbus. Peruse the message boards, listen to talks shows from Toronto, Montreal or Vancouver and you will here how these cities do not "deserve" franchises. Even cities with demonstrated success — such as Anaheim and Los Angeles — receive only modest recognition. This segment points to revenue numbers, attendance figures and the twice-failed experiment in Atlanta as evidence that expansion outside The North is futile. The lack of a "Hockey Tradition" is deemed fatal in these cities.

It seams non-gnss positioning becoming more and more popular in this board. I have some questions about AGPS and Network based positioning methods as well.
1)Does anyone have some ideas about the accuracy of both above methods and AGPS performances(for example: initial time..recapture time after GPS signal lost) ?
2)Is this possible to retrieve the Cell-IDs and RSSI of not only the one mobile phone connected, but also some other base stations.
3)Where i can find some installable s60 applications running on mobile phone for AGPS and Network based positioning tests(S60 3rd FP1 emulator does not support those two methods)?

Sports Illustrated writer discusses narratives
Chris Ballard, a senior writer for Sports Illustrated and author of four books, visited Linfield's Nicholson Library on Oct. 10 to give a lecture about his book "One Shot At Forever: A Small Town, An Unlikely Coach and a Magical Baseball Season" and discuss his writing career.
To begin the lecture, Ballard discussed the difference between writing a piece for a magazine and writing a book.
"Writing a magazine, you have a one-month love affair," Ballard said. "With my book, it took two years of research."
Ballard's book, "One Shot at Forever: A Small Town, An Unlikely Coach and a Magical Baseball Season," tells the story of the 1971 Macon Ironmen Baseball team.
Macon is a small rural town in Illinois. The book depicts the lives of the coach, the players and the community during their run to the state championship game.
The book dives into the lives of the coach, Lynn Swan, the players and the way the season affected and still affects the community today.
"I learned a lot about the sports writing analysis field," sophomore Joe Stevick said.
Ballard's book has received great reviews and was called "a beautiful and unforgettable book," by Buzz Bissinger, author of "Friday Night Lights."
As the lecture drew on, one could tell that the season had an enormous effect because of placement of the town and the characters that lived there.
"To see the power [of sports] in small towns is something we really forget today," Ballard said.
Ballard, who has primarily covered baseball and basketball, while working for Sports Illustrated, has spent time writing about big-name athletes like Barry Bonds and Lebron James. Although these are superb athletes, Ballard believes the best stories come from the lesser-known athletes.
"Better stories in sports are at the fringes, where it matters, where people actually care about it," Ballard said.
Ballard's book brings this idea to light through a story that only the people of this little farm community remember.
"He gave a great summary about his book and expressed a lot of insightful things about writing non-fictional sports stories," Stevick said.
Chris Ballard has written for Sports Illustrated for the last 12 years.
Ballard also has work published in The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, USA Today and Men's' Health.
Nicholson Library and the Political Science department sponsored the lecture.

Adam Jones has won a Gold Glove (in 2009), but he's not a particularly good center fielder.
And according to Baseball Info Solutions' John Dewan, Jones is particularly not good on balls just like the one that just got past him for a game-tying triple:
Adam Jones: one of the worst CFers in baseball on deep hit balls (20 fewer plays than an average center fielder on deep hit balls in 2012)— John Dewan (@FieldingBible) October 11, 2012

SPRINGFIELD, Ill -- In an emotional test vote, the Illinois House overwhelmingly rejects a concealed carry measure.
The legislation failed on a 31 to 76 roll call vote. The "may issue" proposal is modeled after a highly restrictive New York gun law. It would have allowed county sheriffs and other government officials to weigh in on whether a person should be allowed to have a concealed-carry permit.
The next measure expected to come up for a vote -- a "shall issue" concealed-carry bill, under which a permit would have to be issued to anyone who meets certain requirements.
The state legislature is under a federal court ordered deadline to enact a concealed carry law by June.

Man shot to death outside wake for Paterson homicide victim
PATERSON — A West New York man was shot to death Thursday night as he waited for his girlfriend to leave the wake at a city funeral home for another homicide victim.
Conrad Bishop, 25, was shot multiple times shortly before 10 p.m. as he waited in his car on East 28th Street, down the street from the Martinez Funeral Home on Market Street.
Bishop staggered out of the car and collapsed and died in front of the funeral home just as the wake for Chrismely A. Hildago, 22, was letting out.
Funeral home director Manny Martinez said the wake was attended by only a few people — one of them the female friend of Bishop. Martinez said he was escorting Bishop's friend out of the funeral home when he opened the door and saw Bishop lying in the street, blood pouring from his wounds and money swirling in the air around him.
"It was surreal," Martinez said. "It made me think that I was in a movie. She was in the funeral home paying her respects, and he was outside waiting in his car for her. I was walking her outside, opened the door and saw him lying in the street."
Martinez said the woman rushed to the dying man's side, but he died on the street. He was pronounced dead at St. Joseph's Regional Medical Center in Paterson.
On Sunday morning, Newark Police found Hildago's body on an entrance ramp to Route 22 near Empire Street. She had been strangled. That case, which is being handled by the Essex County Prosecutor's Office, remains unsolved.
Paterson Police on Friday were reluctant to speculate whether robbery was the motive for the Bishop killing or if the two homicides are linked.
"We believe the victim was there to pick up his girlfriend at the funeral home," said Paterson police Capt. Heriberto Rodriguez. He declined to say whether police had spoken to any witnesses.
Notice of the shooting was posted on the Paterson Cease Fire Unit's Facebook page asking that anyone with information contact the detective bureau at 973-321-1120. Anyone with information about the Hildago killing can contact the Essex County prosecutor's tip line at 877-847-7432.
Bishop is the third homicide victim in the city in 2013. A husband killed his wife and then himself in a murder suicide at an apartment on East 18th Street on Jan. 3.
Martinez said he was shaken by the incident. "I've been in the funeral business a long time, and I've seen a lot of bodies. But this is the first time that anyone has ever died in front of me," he said. "But these are desperate times, and people do desperate things."

Reverse Engineering Bicycles to Develop New Businesses, Products and Increased Income for the Metalworking and Agriculture Industries in Lebialem (Cameroon)
San Jose State University, 2009 - $20,000
This E-Team is looking to solve three interrelated problems in Lebialem, Cameroon with products derived from bicycle parts. Most people in Lebialem earn two dollars a day, primarily from agriculture, which requires people to walk 20-40 kilometers to get to market, bringing only what they can carry. Houses aren't electrified, which makes nighttime activities like studying more difficult. And while there's a longstanding metalworking industry in the region, it's currently on the decline. The team proposes three products, derived mostly from old bicycles, to help stimulate the metalworking industry and overcome the first two problems:
- The River Light: a small hydrokinetic device that charges portable LEDs (home lighting)
- The Side Cart: a side-cart for a bicycle to increase carrying capacity when going to market
- The Universal Connector: a steel joint that can be the central unit for other products
The team has developed several iterations of prototypes of each of the three products. They've partnered with specialists from the cycling industry (Specialized Bicycles) and a Lebialem community group. With NCIIA funding the team will build third-generation prototypes, travel to Lebialem to do user testing and meet with metalworkers, build final prototypes, and start manufacturing in Lebialem.
