As Maine's flagship public university, the University of Maine seeks to create a culture that promotes a safe and healthy environment where people can learn, work and live. UMaine is invested both in academic achievement and in developing life skills that will promote individual and civic wellness. By establishing a tobacco-free and smoke-free campus policy, UMaine will join some 365 colleges and universities around the U.S. as a leader in the prevention of tobacco addiction.
According to the American Nonsmokers' Rights Foundation, examples of smoke-free institutions include all colleges and universities in Arkansas and Iowa, the University of Florida, the University of Kentucky, the University of Michigan, Miami University, Oklahoma State University, Indiana State University, Purdue University and the University of North Dakota. The only smoke-free institution in Maine is Kennebec Valley Community College.
Additionally, the American College Health Association (ACHA) issued a September 2009 "no tobacco policy" position statement encouraging colleges and universities nationwide "to be diligent in their efforts to achieve a 100% indoor and outdoor campus-wide tobacco-free environment."
More and more colleges, universities, communities and employers are prohibiting tobacco use to address the health risks associated with tobacco use and exposure to secondhand smoke.
Students are at a critical point in their lives for avoiding tobacco addiction:
- A 2002 Bowdoin College survey showed that the percentage of students who smoke increased from 3% to 10% between their first year of studies and graduation.
- Only 5% of smokers start after age 24, a major reason tobacco companies target young adults in their marketing.
- An American Cancer Society study reveals that 28% of college smokers began to smoke regularly at or after age 19, when most were already in college. Half had tried unsuccessfully to quite in the previous year.

The Bismarck Catholic Diocese will soon have six new Priests.
Tomorrow six men will be ordained at the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit.
The last time this many men were ordained was in 2000.
Bishop David Kagan says there is a need for Priests, and these men are a blessing to the Bismarck Diocese.
"For our Diocese there is a very evident need for more Priests and this is a great help to the whole Diocese to have six new priests able to serve in our Parishes," Bishop David Kagan said.
If you'd like to see the names and pictures of the Priests being ordained, visit the Diocese website.
Evangelist Franklin Graham prayed on a sidewalk outside the Pentagon Thursday after his invitation to a prayer service inside was withdrawn because of comments that insulted people of other religions. More>>

For the first time, stores are opening their doors a day early. Since Black Friday is now starting at the tail end of Thanksgiving, it's being called Grey Thursday. Toys R Us was one of the first places to open on Thursday night with deals. Hundreds of people waited in line some up to 12 hours just to get the items on their lists and save some money. Most of the shoppers said the wait doesn't matter when you are taking big savings.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. -- Governor Pat Quinn said he will not consider any tax breaks to keep the Archer Daniel Midland Company's headquarters in Illinois if lawmakers do not pass a pension reform bill first.
ADM officials announced last week that they were considering moving their world headquarters out of Decatur.
ADM officials are considering Chicago as an option and have asked legislators for income tax incentives worth $1.2 million a year for the next 15 to 20 years.
The Governor said lobbying efforts by ADM would be better directed towards solving the pension crisis.
Meanwhile, Senate President John Cullerton is backing a new pension reform plan that could save the state $138 billion. The pension reform conference committee proposal includes reduced employee contributions and cost of living inflation protection.
It is estimated that the plan could have state pension funds fully funded by the year 2043.

Release from the office of Missouri House Speaker Tim Jones
(JOPLIN, MO) - Today, Speaker Tim Jones spoke to a group of citizens in Joplin regarding the accomplishments of the 2013 legislative session and the priorities for the next legislative session, highlighting the importance of getting Missouri's economy back on track through fiscal responsibility and common sense, pro-development policies.
Additionally, he and Senate President Pro Tem Tom Dempsey signed SB23, a bill passed during the 2013 session which includes the creation of the Rebuild Damaged Infrastructure Program, a program which will help communities impacted by natural disasters.
"During the 2013 legislative session, we took several big steps for Missouri, passing bills to cut taxes for the first time in decades, increase funding for education, and restore the protections of workers' compensation and the Second Injury Fund. However, I know our work is not done. We still need to make fundamental reforms to ensure our budget remains on solid ground. We also need to adopt transformative policies to allow Missouri to compete for the family-supporting jobs of the future. This will be my top priority in 2014," said Jones.
He continued, "Passing the Rebuild Damaged Infrastructure Program is one of my proudest achievements. Communities like Joplin should have access to programs which will help them to rebuild and recover from natural disasters, and this program will help accomplish this important goal."
Jones was elected to the Missouri House of Representatives in November 2006 and was unanimously elected as Speaker in September 2012. Speaker Jones serves as the State Representative for the 110th District, which includes portions of Franklin and St. Louis Counties. Jones is an attorney at the Chesterfield law firm of Doster Ullom LLP and currently resides in Eureka with his wife, Suzanne, and two daughters.

The Don Bosco Dons started the season ranked 2nd in 8-Man Football.
They'd open it up on a neutral site in Maynard against Lansing Kee High.
The Dons would score their first touchdown on a 2-yard run by QB Jake Hogan on a 4th & Goal.
Their second touchdown of the game would be a Hogan on a 5-yard run around the left side to make it 16-0.
Just before the half, Hogan would hook up with Zach Hickson for a TD pass to make it 22-0.
Dons would go on to win 56-0.

- 4 ripe bananas
- 1/3 cup raw agave syrup or honey
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 3/4 cups self-rising flour
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper muffin liners.
Peel the bananas and add to a large bowl. Add the agave syrup and mash the bananas with a fork until very liquefied but still a little lumpy.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the milk solids have turned a nutty golden brown.
To the brown butter, add about 1 cup of the mashed banana mixture and whisk to combine. Cook for a few more minutes until a darker golden color is achieved. Add to the remaining mashed banana mixture and whisk to combine, then whisk in the egg. Fold in the flour, in 2 batches, with a rubber spatula, until just combined; do not over mix. With an ice cream scoop, evenly divide the batter among the muffin tin cups.
Bake in the center of the oven until golden brown and the tops spring back when pressed, about 25 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer the muffins to a rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.

It was back in January that 44-year-old Michael Derrick walked into the Mes Ami Salon in Westlake selling tickets for plate lunches to benefit his son with cancer.
"I felt bad for the child to have cancer and to be going through that. I've heard similar stories of bone marrow transplants and that they are very painful. I'm sure for a family with no income that would be a very bad experience - so I felt sorry for him," said Ami Daigle, owner of Mes Ami Salon.
At $15 a piece, Daigle purchased two tickets. The barber shop next door purchased another three tickets. Derrick even gave them a receipt. The lunches were to be delivered on Friday, Feb. 15. Daigle even wrote it down in her appointment book. However, the food never was delivered.
"And they didn't show up when we all did not leave for lunch. But we still didn't think that much about it. We just assumed they got busy and side-tracked and forgot and it was really no big deal and the money went to a good cause," said Daigle.
Daigle had all but forgotten about it until she saw Derrick's mugshot on KPLC. According to the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office, an investigation was launched after an employee of another local business also purchased tickets from Derrick. The lunches were to be prepared by a local restaurant. Investigators said when an employee of that business called the restaurant to order more lunches, they were advised that the restaurant was not hosting any benefit.
The investigation revealed Derrick sold over 75 dinners under false pretenses, collecting approximately $800 from a total of five local businesses.
"I was dumb-founded that someone would use their child as an excuse to extort money from people," said Daigle.
Daigle and her friends next door also filed a complaint with the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office.
While she'll question the next solicitor who comes through the door, she said if they sincerely need help she'll likely do what she can.
"Yeah, I would. Hopefully, that person would really need it. I have a hard time not helping anyone who really needs help. So, yes. It's just sad that he did that," said Daigle.
The Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office said they have received more calls from other area businesses and are investigating each case. They said more charges could be filed.
Meanwhile, Derrick remains in the Calcasieu Correctional Center charged with theft over $500. His bond is set at $72,300.
Anyone that has been scammed in this way is asked to contact the Sheriff's Office at 491-3605.

The struggles have gotten more and more intense for Tiger Woods at Augusta, and it's starting to border on insanity. First we had the ball that barely didn't hit a hazard off an ill-fated shot to the green, then the pitch into the gallery, then his brief foray into the world of soccer after a wayward teeshot on a par-3.
Now Tiger is three-over par - while his partner, Miguel Angel Jimenez, coasts along at two off the lead at three-under - after a bogey on the 16th.
Woods managed to save par during his trip into the gallery on the 15th, but he was shaken. His tee shot on the par-3 16th went well off on the right into a bunker, and in an attempt to save the hole with a shot from the bunker went awry as his shot had enough pace to dribble off the green and nearly into water. Instead of a par, he bogeyed out the hole.
Woods is still not really in danger of missing the cut - he'd need to drop two strokes over his last two holes - but it's going to take a miracle for him to contend for the lead.

(FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) –The Massachusetts State Lottery has revealed where the four million dollar tickets were sold in the Bay State.
Two were sold in Boston, one at City Convenience on Beacon Street and one at 7-Eleven on Washington Street. Another was sold at Galaxy Newstand on Southbridge Street in Auburn.
The final ticket was sold to Mary K. Gilmore, of Rockland, at a Tedeschi store on Union Street in Rockland.
Gilmore won a $1 million prize. She is the first of the winners to claim the Powerball second-tier prize for matching the first five numbers drawn.
Gilmore, who works as a mortgage loan officer, told lottery officials she had purchased two tickets for the drawing. She gave one of the tickets to her boss and kept the other ticket for herself. Gilmore said she plans to use her windfall to pay off the family's mortgage and her children's student loans.
The tickets had five numbers, but not the Powerball. Having all five numbers means a $1 million dollar payout for the people holding those tickets.
The big tickets in Wednesday night's massive jackpot were sold in Arizona and Missouri. The winning numbers were 5, 16, 22, 23, 29 and Powerball of 6.
In total, more than 200,000 people in Massachusetts won something, so make sure to double check your tickets.

First off, I made a ZOMBIE VIDEO! It's the first thing I've ever written, directed, and produced.
Although uncertainty and trepidation are tagging along behind me, I hope to continue to be led by my desire for creativity and inspiration.
As you can see, I have an eclectic taste in what I find touching and amusing, but I hope somewhere in the array of what I share, you'll find something that you like.
Welcome to my little corner of the world. I hope you'll stay a while and share this new journey with me.
Posts tagged: lost goat
I noticed this sign yesterday at the corner near my house. While I do feel for the owner (and the goat), I couldn't resist having a little fun with this.
So if anyone sees a really hairy kid wandering around Minnesota, please, for the love of God, let Ted know.

Microsoft and HP promised that the Parallel Data Warehouse will be deeply integrated with Microsoft's business intelligence software, and that the appliance will improve "data access with massive scalability and faster query times than traditional SQL Server databases."
The developer preview of Denali, meanwhile, has four new features that Microsoft highlighted in a press release. They are as follows:
* SQL Server AlwaysOn, which Microsoft describes as "a Web-based support and analysis tool that pushes out best practices, helps troubleshoot configuration problems, resolves issues faster, reduces downtime and improves performance."
* Apollo, "a new column-store database technology delivering significantly greater query performance."
* Crescent, "a Web-based, highly interactive data visualization and presentation solution designed to enable business customers to quickly gain meaningful insights from data."
* Juneau, "a single development portal for data and application developers."
Column-store, as opposed to row-oriented systems, is "definitely where the future is," but this is Microsoft's first release with the technology, Saburi says. Using Denali, Saburi says Microsoft was able to cut the query time on some very large databases from eight minutes down to two seconds.
Microsoft's packed SQL Server announcement includes two more bits of news. Customers can now sign up for a beta service code-named "Atlanta," which will let IT pros access analytics that can help them avoid configuration problems and other issues.
Finally, Microsoft also says it will offer an updated Microsoft Certified Master certification program for SQL Server experts that will help these IT pros increase their visibility and "reinforce their value in the market."

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
Perrysburg is unveiling their plans for renovating the riverfront to the public.
The $26 million project will be a complete overhaul of the riverfront, but that's not sitting well with some residents.
Ziplines, sledding hills, an archery range and bike trails are just some of the planned attractions at Orleans Park; a café and ice rink at Hood Park.
"I was really excited when I first heard about them," said Sarah Stevenson. "I think we have a beautiful riverfront and it would be nice to utilize it."
But some say the plan is too ambitious and needs to be scaled back.
"We want to be able to go walk the riverfront and see and enjoy the riverfront, but we don't necessarily need it to be a theme park," said City Councilman Todd Grayson. "I think that's kind of the feel people have gotten, including myself, from the plans thus far."
Stevenson says while the proposed plans are grand, it would make Perrysburg a more desirable place to live.
"Maybe a little town like ours doesn't need so much," she said. "[However,] I think it would help property values stay up and a nice little town to attract people."
Time will tell if the plans turn into reality. The project would be funded by grants.

Daughters of a Duke
A daughter of a duke has the style of 'Lady' before her forename and surname, eg the elder daughter of the Duke of Norfolk is Lady Rachel Fitzalan Howard.
On marriage she continues to use the same style, with her husband's surname, ie when Lady Rose FitzRoy married Mr Guy Monson, she became Lady Rose Monson.
Should she marry a peer she adopts his title.
How to address the Daughters of a Duke
The recommended (social) style of address is as follows:
|Beginning of letter
|Dear Lady Rose
|End of letter
|Yours sincerely
|Lady Rose Monson
|Joint form of address
|Mr Guy and Lady Rose Monson
|Verbal communication
|Lady Rose (on introduction, Lady Rose Monson)
|Lady Rose Monson
|Invitation* to husband & wife
|Mr Guy and Lady Rose Monson
|Description in conversation
|Lady Rose
|List of Directors or Patrons
|Lady Rose Monson
|Place card
|Lady Rose Monson
|Legal document
|Olivia Rose Mildred Monson commonly called Lady Rose Monson
*Note that, traditionally, invitations to a married couple, when sent to their home address, are addressed to the wife alone, with both names being inscribed on the invitation card. It has become increasingly acceptable, however, to address the envelope with both names.
If she marries a courtesy peer, and the precedence she derives from this is lower than that she derives from her father, she has the option of:
(a) adopting the usual style of the wife of a courtesy peer, eg Countess of Twickenham, or
(b) continuing her own style followed by the courtesy title, eg Lady Mary Twickenham.
In practice very few ladies now adopt course (b) unless the marriage has been dissolved.
If the daughter of a duke marries the younger son of a duke or marquess, again she has the option of:
(a) adopting the usual style of the wife of a younger son of a duke or marquess, eg Lady Charles Manners, or
(b) continuing her own style followed by her surname, eg Lady Mary Manners

Red Brick Road was planned around a time frame of 30 days, from May 14th to June 12th, 2011. To depart from and return to Minneapolis via Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota. Roughly 6,500 miles, enjoying as many curvy roads, mountains and coastline that time would permit. This book is a compilation of all blog entries from Stephanie and Matthew along Red Brick Road, plus additional pictures from the GoPro (camera mounted on Stephanie's bike/helmet) and Matthew's camera. By no means is this book written grammatically correct. If it were, the blog and book would get a big fat F- most certainly. Matthew and Stephanie simply wish to share their adventure with others and have a hard copy for when their fragile memories begin to fail them. However, if BMW OWNERS NEWS gets wind of this blog/book and desires "The Flying Brick's" expertise for a running magazine column.....the answer is YES!

"Looking Back, Looking Ahead"
Eleven winning essays from the 2000 contest year of the Young Naturalist Awards by students from grade 7 - 12. "Looking Back, Looking Ahead" was the focus of this year's awards as students documented some of the great achievements science has made during the last century.
How did tropical fish end up in Montana's Trudau Lake? And do they go dormant to survive the winter? This eighth-grader's winning essay investigates and answers these questions and more.
Cloning was once considered scientifically impossible. And then came Dolly, the sheep that made headlines around the world. Tour the science of cloning with this 11th-grader from New Jersey.
In the early 1900s, some astronomers believed that the color contrasts on Mars' surface were great oceans. Today we know they are huge dust storms. Track how our knowledge of Mars has changed with this seventh-grader.
Wolves have long been the favorite animal of this eighth-grader from Illinois. Learn how she turned her interest into an insightful experiment about how wolves calm and comfort each other.
Are the tomatoes, cheese, and carrots on your table genetically engineered? And if so, why should you care? Wander the aisles of this engaging exhibit, imagined by a 10th-grader from Rhode Island.
Fiddler crabs never stray far from their burrow. That's why they will do anything to avoid getting caught and measured, as this ninth-grader from Virginia found out.
This seventh-grader from Mississippi asked, when it comes to planting a garden, isn't dirt just dirt? Find out what she learned by digging into the study of decomposition and making compost.
The work of Gregor Mendel—today known as the "Father of Genetics"—was disregarded by his fellow scientists. Learn how it was rediscovered decades later in this winning essay by a California teen.
For most animals that forage in the southwestern U.S., Indian ricegrass is their number one food choice. This 12th-grader from Arizona asks, what's the best way to monitor it and prevent overgrazing?
When this ninth-grader from New York uncovered fossils in the state's Finger Lakes region, it was the first time they'd seen light in 400 million years. Learn what information they yielded after all those years.
As you wander through this exhibit by a Wisconsin 11th-grader, you'll be introduced to the Human Genome Project, the scientific benefits it will bring, and the bioethical issues this research raises.

`Labour reforms vital for textile industry'
Our Bureau
Mumbai , April 20.
Labour reforms are the need of the hour for the Indian textile industry, and keeping this goal in mind the reform measures would be decided upon by the end of this year, said the Union Textile Minister, Mr Shanker Sinh Vaghela. He was addressing the inaugural session of the fourth International Textile and Apparel Congress (ITAC) here on Thursday.
Mr Vaghela said measures such as increasing the minimum working hours in exclusive textile zones to 60 hours a week from the current 48 hours and changing contract labour laws were being contemplated. The Ministry would recommend liberalisation of labour laws for Special Economic Zones and textile parks.
Indian textile industry has developed to such an extent that it is capable of fulfilling the textile requirements of the globe, he said.
Mr Vaghela called upon foreign textile companies to invest in India, given that the country offered a skilled labour force, good infrastructure and raw materials, leading to maximum profits.
The Miroglio Group, which is one of the top 10 Italian textile companies and having a turnover of 950 million euro, has included India in its expansion plans. Mr Giuseppe Miroglio, President, Miroglio Group, said the group was considering entry into Indian markets in the coming two years.
Miroglio Group's China business is worth

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE AS-173-2006July 24, 2006
A Statement by the Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC)
PHILIPPINES: AHRC reproduces an article "Papal Nuncio twits GMA on slay spree" - an update on the extrajudicial killings in the Philippines
The Daily Tribune has published an article by Marie A. Surbano on July 7, 2006 entitled "Papal Nuncio twits GMA on slay spree", we reproduce this article below.
In his comments the Papal Nuncio attempts to highlight the central importance of dealing with extrajudicial killings in the Philippines. We hope that this will be an eye-opener for all the church leaders in the Philippines to take up this issue in a more forceful manner so that this crime can be brought to an end. In comments made by several persons in the on-line petition (please follow this link http://www.pinoyhr.net/) initiated by the Asian Human Rights Commission a large number of persons have raised the issue of the central importance, both from a moral and legal point of view. Some have reflected also from a theological point of view as the Philippines is predominantly a Christian country. The issues raised by the Papal Nuncio and all the others should lead to a greater active discussion both in the Philippines and outside to bring these extrajudicial killings to an end.
The on-line petition is drawing participation from many persons from all over the world and also the Philippines. We urge everyone to take an active part in this signature campaign and to try and encourage as many persons to sign it as possible. Your comments will also be useful in order to improve the debate on this matter.
We reproduce below the article as mentioned above.
"Papal Nuncio Archbishop Fernando Filoni yesterday raised the alarm over the growing number of unresolved murders of Filipino journalists and activists.
Speaking before members of the Society of Catholic Social Scientists and the School of Economics Units of the University of Asia and the Pacific in Metro Manila, Filoni stressed that the string of killings is disturbing, considering that President Arroyo recently signed the law that abolished capital punishment in the Philippines.
"I am surprised to see that, in the Philippines, there is still an activity of high incidence of moral and political violence against those who profess different political ideologies, like the journalists, columnists and writers, among others," he said.
The Vatican representative to Manila pointed out that the violence and the political killings are not helping the people as well as the nation to be progressive because these upheavals serve as a stumbling block for Filipinos who want to move forward and achieve their goals.
"This incidence (of political killings) unduly delays the ability of society and the Filipino people in their lives when they encounter such violence," Filoni said.
Human rights and other advocacy groups have said more than 700 persons were killed since Mrs. Arroyo assumed the presidency in 2001.
Having stayed in Iraq for five years, Filoni said he is not a stranger to any violence and particularly the rampant violations of human rights along religious lines.
"Coming from a country where I have just been for five years, I have witnessed the continued violations of the rights of the entire people, of the right of the poor to defend (themselves), of the rights of the religious communities to express their own sentiments and beliefs and the rights of the various organizations to upkeep individuals in the community," the newly installed representative of the Holy See to the Philippines added.
While he lauded the President's decision in abolishing the death penalty, Filoni noted that the spate of killings is still raising many questions on the real motive of the government in junking capital punishment.
Filoni described the abolition of the death penalty as a "profound sense of humanity" and a "pro-active (stand) and more elevated form of civility."
He, however, pointed out that the series of murders was contradicting what the Philippine government wants to project to the world.
"Whether it be the political or the religious point of view, it will truly be a contradiction, if on the one hand, we practically abolished the death penalty and yet, on the other hand, we are not respecting or implementing the (protected) rights of the human race," the Papal Nuncio said.
Jaro Archbishop Angel Lagdameo, president of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines, in the CBCP's pastoral statement released last July 10, 2006, voiced stronger concern over extra-judicial killings.
"We join the outcry of groups that have denounced the increasing number of extra-judicial killings of journalists and social activists suspected as sympathizers of insurgents allegedly by some ultra-rightist elements in the military," Lagdameo said.
According to him, many dioceses have been receiving letters and lists of persons who had been victims of political killings.
Lagdameo said they "cannot close our eyes to the great number of extra-judicial killings that sometimes do not come to light in the newspapers but are known to us in our dioceses."
Meanwhile, Filoni said there is still hope for the Philippines if government leaders will show more concern for the plight of the poor and the marginalized sectors in the country.
Last month, Mrs. Arroyo won praise from Pope Benedict XVI in a personal meeting at which she presented him with the documents on the abolition of the death penalty - a long-time priority of the Roman Catholic Church in the Philippines.
Filoni did not say who might be behind the murders, which leftist groups have widely blamed on the government.
The groups charge that nearly one hundred of their members have been murdered since Mrs. Arroyo came to power in 2001.
Five journalists have been murdered this year compared to seven last year, leading the Paris-based Reporters Sans Frontieres (Reporters Without Borders) to say in a 2006 report that "after Iraq, the Philippines is the most dangerous country for journalists."
The government has suggested that communist insurgents may be behind many of the killings as part of an internal purge.
The allegation was denied by the Communist Party of the Philippines, which has been leading a "people's war" for over three decades. AFP

Brandon Lyons' "shoulder weakness"? It was more than just a little weakness. The news from MLB.com's :
Brandon Lyon going on the disabled list with biceps tendinitis and a partial tear of his rotator cuff. Jose Valdez recalled.
In this space yesterday, I suggested that Lyons' struggles were merely due to him being less than a stellar pitcher. Well, that's still true. But sometimes when a pitcher struggles as badly was Lyons has this season, there's a better explanation than poor skills and/or poor luck. Sometimes they're just plumb hurt. Which does make you wonder why the manager is always the last to know.
In Lyons' absence, Mark Melancon has been handed the closer's job. Twenty-eight-year-old rookie Jose Valdez was up earlier this season and gave up five runs in five innings. The longtime Yankees farmhand has posted decent numbers in the minors as a reliever, but doesn't figure to pitch many big innings for the Astros.

Through six innings against the Rockies, Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander James McDonald has not allowed a hit.
McDonald entered Wednesday afternoon without a win, despite posting a 3.45 in three starts. Oddly, McDonald had struck out only six batters in 15⅔ innings. Against the Rockies, though, he's recorded six strikeouts (along with two walks) in his first six innings.
In fact, McDonald finished off the top of the sixth by striking out Tyler Colvin.
He's thrown 80 pitches, just eight short of his season high. And he never threw more than 109 pitches in a game last season. So unless he's just a bit more economical in the next inning or two, nine innings might be a stretch.
Another problem: the Pirates haven't scored yet, as Colorado's Juan Nicasio is pitching a shutout of his own. Jose Tabata didn't help in the bottom of the sixth, leading off with a base hit but getting thrown out trying to stretch his single into a double.

MILWAUKEE (AP) -- The NCAA tournament seeds are set for Marquette and Wisconsin.
The Golden Eagles are a No. 3 seed in the West region and will face the winner of a play-in game between Iona and BYU. With a win, they would face the winner of the Murray State-Colorado State game.
The Badgers are a No. 4 seed in the East and will face Montana, the Big Sky champion. They would meet the winner of the Vanderbilt-Harvard game in the second round.
Both teams' first-round games are Thursday.
Marquette and Wisconsin both advanced to the second weekend of the tournament last year.

A Redcap Amulet is the most common and important piece of equipment assigned to Organization Suits in Huntik. A powerful yet easy-to-control Titan, Redcap makes the perfect first Amulet for devoted Suit operatives.
Redcap is an intimidating storm of claws and teeth, muscle and bone. His red eyes strike fear into the enemies of the Organization and his presence alone is often enough to break the will of a captive Seeker.
In ancient times, the Egyptian general Dovhi-tep possessed a dozen Redcap Titans himself, and over the course of many years he built up the focus to control them all at once. This army of terrifying Titans led Dovhi-tep to many victories and established his (and Redcap's) reputation as a force to be reckoned with.

Three-dimensional charting may be the multifunction display feature seen the most in advertisements but used the least in the real world. In fact, a surprising number of generally knowledgeable navigators who post comments on my blog dismiss it as a marketing gimmick. But while it's true the early versions of 3-D weren't good for much more than trying to impress your marina mates, I believe that most of the MFD manufacturers have developed their 3-D presentations to the point where you ought to give them a serious try — even if it means reexamining the way you've always navigated!
Whether you learned marine navigation from a course or on a parent's knee, 50 years ago or last summer, the lessons almost undoubtedly centered on paper charts. And for most of the short history of electronic charting, the goal was to duplicate digitally the information-rich paper chart over which your boat was constantly plotted. As that goal was pretty well accomplished, and much appreciated, along came optional overlays such as photo maps, points of interest, radar, weather and AIS. Though often pooh-poohed at first, all of those features are well-liked by many boaters today.
Navigation has changed a lot. But for most practitioners it's all happened within the constraints of a traditional top-down, two-dimensional chart view that, in truth, is more about the limitations of the printing press than what's ideal when you're trying to work your way through hazardous waters.
What makes 3-D charting unprintable is that your display computes an ever-changing point of view (POV) unique to your boat's location and heading. The typical bird's-eye image puts you several hundred feet above the helm, and slightly behind it, looking forward at charted information and overlays that have been shaped and shaded with bathymetric and topographic information to simulate how they might really look, though augmented in ways meant to help you avoid mishaps. Underwater dangers may be brightly color-coded, or lit navaids may graphically indicate their color and pattern so you can confirm them against reality without having to read their characteristics. The vessel-centered look-ahead POV means you get to see more detail immediately around you, where you need it, without losing a sense of what's coming up, as though you were viewing two or more zoom levels or chart scales at once.
Perhaps most important, though, is the way 3-D makes chart and overlay data more naturally correlate with what you're actually seeing from your helm as you move through the water, so that it's easier to make the correct connections. However, it's fairly freaky how different 3-D is from the conventional 2-D view, and I know numerous boaters who've tried it just once, at a dock. That's a mistake, because 3-D really shines when under way, while 2-D does remain the sensible mode in which to plan a voyage when tied up. A north-up, top-down view lets you look around a chart without losing overall orientation, and no one particular spot needs your bird's-eye focus until you're moving. In practice, creating a route over a traditional chart view, and then running it in 3-D, can go together like lobster and butter. That's why adjusting a route in 2-D but driving it in 3-D is standard operating procedure when it comes to electronic automobile navigation. It's just that when you climb into your car, you don't have to overcome centuries of powerful tradition to look at a 3-D map.
This summer I tussled with my own decades of navigation habits by using 3-D views on four different multifunction displays, and I'll be testing the feature in PC charting programs before winter closes in (all discussed in more detail on my blog). I am by no means a total convert, but 3-D is certainly not just a marketing gimmick. I believe that the manufacturers are working hard to perfect 3-D navigation because they're convinced that it will become highly desirable for underway route-running — once we open our minds to it — and I think they're right. But the jury is certainly out on what 3-D perfection looks like.

Tacit I-shared brings welcome relief to over-the-WAN file sharing
Low-maintenance appliance trims wait times dramaticallyFollow @infoworld
Sharing files with users at remote offices over a WAN often creates enormous headaches, due to limited bandwidth and the high latency of the connection, combined with the "chattiness" of file sharing protocols such as NFS and CIFS.
As a result, just making a quick change to, say, a Microsoft Office document, which usually takes mere seconds on a LAN or MAN (metropolitan area network), takes disproportionately longer over a WAN, thereby frustrating users and reducing productivity.
Unfortunately, intuitive remedies, such as improving the connection, usually cost a bunch and may not bring the expected relief. Alternatively, you can dramatically improve responsiveness by bringing copies of the files closer to the users at each remote location, but the effort of keeping versions consistent can easily nullify the benefit.
With that in mind, it's not surprising that start-ups such as Actona, recently acquired by Cisco, and Tacit Networks have jumped on the opportunity to develop solutions that, using a complex mix of compression and buffering techniques, expedite file sharing over the WAN.
Since last year, Tacit has been offering a Linux-based version of its I-shared appliance, promising to "make the WAN disappear." Recently, the company added a Windows NAS-based version that maintains the same architecture but adds improvements such as seamless installations in Microsoft shops, native support for CIFS, and the ability to enforce symmetric file sharing across the WAN.
After reviewing the new Windows-based I-shared 1.6.1, I have to admit that the appliance fulfills the promise of making remote file sharing fast and easy, and it doesn't penalize customers with onerous housekeeping tasks.
Ready, set, WAN
To minimize logistics problems, I reviewed the I-shared on Tacit's premises, on a dedicated test bed mimicking the typical WAN connection between a central office and a remote one. The central office setting included a Windows Server 2003 domain controller with Active Directories and a Windows 2000 file server hosting approximately 300MB of Microsoft Office files. To simulate remote users, I used two laptops running Windows XP Pro.
On the central office side, the I-shared box acted as a server cache; on the remote side, the second box was running the remote client on IBM xServer hardware. Both machines were running the Microsoft NAS software for Windows 2000, but the forthcoming version of I-shared, expected this month, should also support Windows Storage Server 2003.
To simulate the high latency and limited bandwidth typical of a WAN, I used an application developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Click Modular Router 1.3, running on a dedicated Linux machine. Using the solution, one can emulate WAN conditions by changing just two configuration parameters: Delay_Shaper to set the latency and Bandwidth_Shaper to set the connection speed.
Setup proved straightforward. Configuring the two I-shared appliances was easy, thanks to Tacit's intuitive menu entries that are seamlessly integrated with the Microsoft NAS administrative GUI.
Instructing the I-shared server to inherit and propagate shared folders from my file server entailed simply typing the server name into the configuration menu.

A lightweight (155 lbs.) encounter between James "Binky" Jones and Calvin Kattar is the latest fight for the undercard of EliteXC's debut CBS show on May 31 to be finalized.
A source first informed FiveOuncesOfPain.com of the news on Wednesday and we were able to confirm the news with Jones himself on Thursday evening.
Jones' involvement with the show was first reported by the website FightTicker.com several weeks ago, however, his opponent wasn't finalized until earlier this week.
Jones, a resident of the Baltimore area, has a substantial following in the Mid-Atlantic region and is a part of Team Ground Control and Team Rawdogg. Trained by John Rallo, Jones is 6-6 according to Sherdog.com's fight finder. He's currently on a two fight win streak and looked dominant in recent wins over Mark Getto during ShoXC's Jan. 25 event and Al Buck during Ring of Combat 18 on March 7.
Both of Jones' wins took place in Atlantic City and both ended by first round submissions via Kimura.
In addition to have fought for ShoXC and Ring of Combat, Jones has also competed for BodogFIGHT and was a draft finalist for the IFL during its tryouts in New York this past October.
Kattar, is 3-0 as a pro with all fights having been decided in the first round. The New Hampshire resident has a reputation for being a strong wrestler and a good brawler.
The current card for EliteXC "Primetime" on CBS is as follows:
Main Card:
- Kimbo Slice vs. James Thompson
- Robbie Lalwer vs. Scott Smith for the EliteXC middleweight title
- Gina Carano vs. Kaitlin Young
- Phil Baroni vs. Joe Villasenor
- Jon Murphy vs. Brett Rogers (swing bout, time permitting)
- Nick Serra vs. Matt Makowski
- Carlton Haselrig vs. TBA
- Wilson Reis vs. Justin Robbins
- James "Binky" Jones vs. Calvin Kattar
- Chris Liguori vs. Jim Bova
- Zach Makovsky vs. Andre Soares
- Mike Groves vs. Joe Sampieri
So will this fight be at the Unified Rules lightweight limit of 155 or EliteXC's lightweight limit of 160? And if this fight occurs at 155, will Gary Shaw have the announcement that the fight is taking place at the "Junior" Lightweight class? KJ Noons after all is the EliteXC Lightweight Champion.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Thanks Sam. I just find this weight class creation based on signed fighters a bit silly.
No more ProElite postings?
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Calvin is a very underrated fighter with potential.binky should not underestimate his ability. Calvin should use thius fight as a breakout fight

The Cybercrime Problem
Today's bankcard networks are generally considered to be highly reliable and secure. However, cardholder data is typically unencrypted — visible in clear text — as it leaves a merchant's terminal and makes its way through the payments network. At certain points in its journey, the data is potentially exposed — making it valuable prey for the scores of professional hackers who have developed increasingly sophisticated and technically savvy methods of hijacking it. Press reports of compromised systems over the past several years are stark testimony to the success of these criminals.
The E3™ Solution
E3, an end-to-end encryption product by Heartland Payment Systems, is designed to protect credit and debit card data from the moment of card swipe and through the Heartland network — not just at certain points of the transaction flow. E3 provides the highest degree of security available — with no unnecessary transaction, monthly, security or other "junk" fees that add no value.

Okay can someone explain to me what these codes do,

!important just disables the normal cascade rules—meaning that this rule must apply even if a more specific height declaration would normally override this one. Generally, it's better not to use !important, as it indicates that things could be better coded from scratch. !important is really just a last resort option.
In this case, it might be meant to override the following declaration, which otherwise would override the height: auto rule.
The code looks a bit old, anyhow, as both IE5 and IE6 are dead and gone for all practical purposes.
Dec 11, 2012, 23:27 #3
Yes, that was an old IE6 hack that was used when combining all your rules in one syntax (ruleset)
It was always better just to use min-height for good browsers and feed IE6 it's own hack in a separate ruleset.
IE6 treated height as if it was min-height due to it's expanding box bug.Ray H.- css-lab.com

Eagles Drop Conference Opener to A-Sun Favorite, Jacksonville
Jacksonville, Fla. - Delia De La Torre scored a team-high 18 points and Chelsea Dermyer added 15 points as the FGCU women's basketball team lost its conference opener on the road to the A-Sun Preseason favorite, Jacksonville Dolphins 62-58 Saturday afternoon at the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena.
FGCU falls to 5-6 overall this season and 0-1 in the A-Sun. Jacksonville improves to 11-3 on the season and start the A-Sun 1-0.
Jacksonville erased a five-point deficit at the half by shooting 14-of-30 from the field (47 percent) in the second half while holding the Eagles to 8-of 28 shooting (29 percent). The Eagles and Dolphins combined for 13 ties and 14 lead changes in the game.
Leading 46-44 with more than six minutes remaining, the Eagles gave up a 5-0 run to the Dolphins and Jacksonville would take the lead for good Desarae Johnson capped the run with a layup with 5:07 left. FGCU tied the game with 1:10 left in regulation after De La Torre (Las Cruces, N.M.) drove to the basket and dropped in a layup. Jacksonville used a 4-0 run and held the Eagles scoreless in the final 1:10 to wrap-up the victory.
As a team, the Eagles connected on 21-of-56 (37.5-percent) shots from the field, including 7-of-20 (35.0-percent) from long-distance. De La Torre finished the game 8-of-17 (47.1 percent) from the field while pulling down a team-high seven rebounds. Dermyer (Fort Collins, Col.) ended the contest 5-of-12 (41.7 percent) from the field and 2-of-4 (50 percent) from behind the arc.
Ashley Williams finished 8-of-15 (53.3 percent) from the floor while also grabbing a game-high eight rebounds and three blocks. Virginia Gregoire finished with 15 points and eight rebounds.
Jacksonville got on the Eagles early by jumping out to a 20-14 lead with 9:33 left to play in the opening half. FGCU responded with a 17-6 run, that was capped by a Delia De La Torre (Las Cruces, N.M) jumper, over the final nine minutes of the first half and took a 31-26 lead into the locker room at halftime.
The Eagles will take the court to face North Florida on Monday, Jan. 7 at the UNF Arena. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. and can be seen live online at ASun.TV.
