As many Chicago residents and suburbanites found out Tuesday, the snow that fell is heavy and wet – and apparently too heavy for the roof of a banquet hall and restaurant in Des Plaines.
The roof at Cafe La Cave on Mannheim Road collapsed just after midnight.
The business has been around a long time, right across from Allstate Arena.
It doesn't look like anyone was inside. They had a party with 300 guests scheduled this weekend.
Police are investigating the murder of a homeless man who was beaten to death in an alley in Logan Square.

By Philip Weiss:
Some rays of light amid the Iran warmongering. Yesterday the New York Times ran an important piece on the Iran war saber-rattling saying that it recalled the buildup to the disastrous Iraq war. Reporter Scott Shane several times made the Israel connection:
With Israel and Iran exchanging accusations of assassination plots, some analysts see a danger of blundering into a war that would inevitably involve the United States.
Echoes of the period leading up to the Iraq war in 2003 are unmistakable, igniting a familiar debate over whether journalists are overstating Iran's progress toward a bomb. Yet there is one significant difference: by contrast with 2003, when the Bush administration portrayed Iraq as an imminent threat, Obama administration officials and intelligence professionals seem eager to calm the feverish language..
With the notable exception of Representative Ron Paul of Texas, Republican presidential candidates have kept up a competition in threatening Iran and portraying themselves as protectors of Israel. A bipartisan group of senators on Tuesday released a letter to President Obama saying that new talks could prove a "dangerous distraction," allowing Iran to buy time to move closer to developing a weapon..
the news media, including The New York Times, which ultimately apologized to readers for some of its coverage of claims of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, are again under scrutiny by critics wary of exaggerated threats. Both the ombudsman of The Washington Post and the public editor of The New York Times in his online blog have scolded their newspapers since December for overstating the current evidence against Iran in particular headlines and stories.
Jim Fallows, an important voice during the Vietnam debacle, approves this piece at the Atlantic:
it's very good to see the NYT running, on page one and above the fold, an analysis of the reckless agitation for a preemptive military strike on Iran, and of the risks this talk holds for all involved. Lots of people wrote these analyses, after the fact, about the panicky rush-toward-war mentality that preceded the invasion of Iraq in 2003. It is certainly better to start talking about the problem now, when "hey, wait a minute" thoughts can make a difference.
Peter Beinart at the Daily Beast says that an attack on Iran makes no sense, but the hawks are winning the debate:
And who are the hawks who have so far marginalized the defense and intelligence establishments in both Israel and the U.S.? They're a collection of think-tankers and politicians, most absolutely sincere, in my experience. But from Rick Santorum to John McCain to Elliott Abrams to John Bolton, their defining characteristic is that they were equally apocalyptic about the threat from Iraq, and equally nonchalant about the difficulties of successfully attacking it. The story of the Iraq debate was, in large measure, the story of their triumph over the career military and intelligence officials—folks like Eric Shinseki and Joseph Wilson—whose successors are now warning against attacking Iran.
How can it be, less than a decade after the U.S. invaded Iraq, that the Iran debate is breaking down along largely the same lines, and the people who were manifestly, painfully wrong about that war are driving the debate this time as well? Culturally, it's a fascinating question—and too depressing for words.
Yes culturally it's a fascinating question. And I don't think Beinart is completely forthcoming; he went down the waterslide himself, he supported the Iraq war and back then he credited the influence of Paul Berman, Robert Kagan, David Frum, Tamara Cofman Wittes and Kenneth Pollack. The cultural question he addresses is the Israel lobby: the aggrandized role inside the Jewish community (and the American establishment) of neoconservative extremists. Who gave the neocons power? Liberals did. And culture played a significant role.
Note that Eli Clifton (who reports that Tucker Carlson says Iran should be annihilated) broke open the Israel lobby piece of this story months ago at Think Progress:
a Tuesday press release [PDF] from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) brings to mind eery parallels between the escalation of sanctions against Iran and the slow lead up to the invasion of Iraq in 2003.
Now (and again thanks to Ilene Cohen) here is Yossi Verter, in Haaretz, saying that even people in Israel are sick of the saber-rattling. And Shimon Peres is trying to box out the hawks with Obama.
President Shimon Peres is expected to tell U.S. President Barack Obama early next month that he does not believe Israel should attack Iran in the near future.
…According to these officials, Peres is close to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's position on Iran, while Defense Minister Ehud Barak is perceived, at least by the Americans, as pushing for an attack.
Peres told officials that there is no point in what he called the "unceasing self-intimidation" being voiced by senior Israeli spokesmen. This is what he intends to tell Obama.
This piece further undermines the reports by Jeffrey Goldberg in the Atlantic in 2010 and Ronen Bergman in the New York Times Magazine that cast an Israeli attack as inevitable and logical, based on Israeli military and government sources. Who were they talking to, and why were they parroting their views? Self-intimidation indeed.

High School Students Train To Save Lives On Kentucky Roadways
Date of Release: 10/17/05
(Frankfort, KY)--- Twenty-three students from 18 high schools throughout the state are learning safe driving techniques this week courtesy of the Kentucky State Police. As part of the third annual "Drive To Stay Alive" program, which runs from Oct. 16 through Oct. 20, the students are participating in classroom exercises at KSP headquarters in Frankfort and hands-on driving instruction at the Kentucky Speedway in Sparta. Their goal is to save lives on Kentucky's roadways.
"Nationally, teen age driving fatalities are reaching epidemic levels," says Kentucky State Police Commissioner Mark Miller, citing statistics from the National Safety Council. "Nearly one out of every five traffic fatalities involves a driver between 16 and 20 years of age."
"Through October 16, Kentucky has recorded 77 teenage traffic fatalities in 2005," he adds. "Forty-eight of those fatalities were not wearing seat belts and 13 were alcohol related."
The "Drive To Stay Alive" program is designed to combat these statistics explains KSP Lt. Eric Walker, commander of the Governor's Highway Safety Program. "The training includes subjects such as collision causation, vehicle dynamics and skid control, backing skills, multiple turns and lane interchange, safety belts and air bags, evasive maneuvers, off-road recovery, and controlled braking," he notes.
"The students will also get the chance to operate a vehicle using Fatal Vision goggles, which simulate driving while impaired by drugs or alcohol," says Walker. "This is a real 'eye-opener' that they'll remember for a lifetime."
According to Miller, the real potential of the "Drive To Stay Alive" program begins after the students complete the course and return to their individual schools. "The students are teamed with an experienced state trooper to spread the message to the student body in each school and to their community as well," he says. "The effectiveness of the program is based on the concept that a message conveyed by a fellow student carries more weight with other students and is therefore more memorable."The students will be evaluated and scored on the driving safety programs they present to their respective schools and communities. The student with the most effective program will receive a $2,500 scholarship.
"These young men and women have a unique opportunity to influence driving behaviors and save lives on Kentucky's highways," says Miller. "It's a very noble goal that will require thought and activity on their part, but it's worth the effort if they save even one life. It could be their own, their best friend, a neighbor or a family member."
The "Drive To Stay Alive" program concludes on Thursday Oct. 20 with graduation activities and a news conference at Kentucky State Police headquarters in Frankfort beginning at 1:00 P.M. EDT.
The students participating in the "Drive To Stay Alive" program include:

CBS Atlanta News is learning more about the man who entered Ronald E. McNair Discovery Academy Tuesday afternoon and fired shots at police officers.
Michael Brandon Hill, 20, surrendered after a shootout with police.
According to Henry County officials, Hill, who is currently in the DeKalb County Jail, has a criminal history.
He was arrested as a juvenile, and just this past March, he was arrested for making terroristic threats. [See the incident report]
Hill is charged with a long list of crimes, including aggravated assault, terroristic threats and acts, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, after police say he stormed into the school with his AK-47 taking hostages.
According to police, Hill fired at least 12 rounds at police as they entered the school to try and end the situation.
"He started to fire from inside the school at our officers. He had one or two of the staff members. He was holding them captive. He would continue to fire upon officers. Officers were able to return fire. No one was injured. He surrendered to police authorities here in DeKalb," said DeKalb County Police Chief Cedric Alexander.
The Office of the Public Defender for the Stone Mountain Judicial Circuit released the following statement on Wednesday afternoon:
"The Public Defender's Office is representing Mr. Michael Brandon Hill, a young man with a long history of mental health issues. Mr. Hill is being represented by members of our Mental Health Division and he has decided to waive his first appearance hearing. We are all very thankful that no one was hurt in this incident and that all of the children are safe."
Hill's preliminary hearing is Sept. 5 at 9 a.m. in DeKalb County Magistrate Court.
CBSAtlanta.com will have more information about Hill as it becomes available.

Love this video!
Best Uses
Comments about Volcano! DVD Exclusive:
I have been showing this video to my 7th grade science students for years! I like how it shows the characteristics of many different kinds of volcanoes. The students are fascinated by the acid lake in Indonesia, and by the behavior of these "crazy" volcanologists. After watching the video, I have the students write their own volcano eyewitness story.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Binding is particularly really good and the pages made from recycled paper add quality to it.
Product worth buying as a personal use diary.
As usual the flipkart delivery rocks!!
Not the quality of product one would expect at this price.
The binding is not up to the mark in quality and finishing.
The cover is made of recycled paper too,making it susceptible to wear and tear.
Paper is rough and not suitable for writing with fountain pens.

Normally (when the GPS works) when I go to Location-GPS data-Satellite status, it shows many satellite bars, first with no range, and a few seconds later, the bars begin to get filled. My position is shown in ovi maps. When it stops working after a few days, only 1 or 2 filled satellite bars are shown and no empty ones are shown. When I open Ovi maps, the position is not shown. Again when i reset the fone using *7370#, it starts working again. Please note that all this was done outdoors, everytime in the same location(so its not bcos of no satellite coverage)..

While I have traveled to Saratoga Springs, N.Y., at least 10 times in my life, I've never taken the opportunity to check out our nation's largest city, which I'm told is only about three hours away. I can't wait to see Belmont Park and take in all New York has to offer. With so many people concentrated in this one area, there are sure to be plenty of folks around my age that we will turn into racing fans by week's end.
The action gets underway with Wednesday's post-position draw and luncheon at Belmont. I am anxious to see who the contenders will be in the "Test of the Champion" where anything can happen. Wednesday evening we are hosting a happy hour with Buffalo Trace bourbon at Public House in Manhattan. For several weeks we have been researching and reaching out to young people of influence, whom we have invited to all of our events, so I am anticipating a great turnout.
Thursday we have invited numerous "social media VIPs" to Belmont for a tour given by former jockey Richard Migliore followed by a luncheon at the Garden Terrace, where we will explain to these folks how to read the program and how to bet as well as answer any questions they may have about racing or the Belmont Stakes. Hopefully, they will have enough fun that they will join us again on Saturday.
Image courtesy Eclipse Sportswire.
Thursday night we are throwing a party at The Ainsworth, "A fusion of the classic American fare favorites with exotic herbs, spices and ingredients, a first class bar and a visually stimulating décor culminating in the ultimate drinking and dining experience." Again, our crowd should be very strong. We are looking forward to giving away some tickets for Saturday and our guests will enjoy complimentary drinks and hors d'oeuvres.
The first two Triple Crown events have placed a major emphasis on drawing crowds the Friday before the big race, and we had our bus parked in the infield at Churchill Downs and Pimlico on those days. Belmont doesn't make the infield accessible on either day, so we are taking the bus to the city to do some guerilla marketing. First we will park at Rockefeller Center in the morning, and the idea is to have the ambassadors as close to where they film the "Today Show" as possible.
One of the ambassadors suggested we stage an ABRV breakdown in the middle of Times Square on Friday and just have our bus driver, David, run around the bus like a chicken with his head cut-off while the rest of us quietly attack the area throwing out swag and wearing horse heads, hoping to get some media attention. I doubt that actually happens, but I am sure there will be no shortage of creativity in our guerilla marketing strategy and we will have a videographer with us every step of the way.
Saturday we will have our bus parked inside Belmont Park, and will host friends and guests for another awesome day of racing. The Triple Crown has flown by, as it does every year, but Saturday's race promises to be quite the interesting finale to an incredible first half of the racing year for Team ABRV. Hope to see you in New York …

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Since launching his visually minimal but technically complex womenswear line back in 2012, Belgian-born, Paris-based designer Glenn Martens has steadily begun to make a name for himself. His clean, architectural clothes exude a quiet strength, and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp-trained talent understands just how to hit the sweet spot between strict and feminine. Unfortunately, Martens' eponymous label is no more. But that's only because last November, he was tapped to head up Y. Project—a high-end menswear line founded by Yohan Serfaty in 2010.
After cutting his chops at Jean Paul Gaultier (where he worked on menswear) and Bruno Pieters, Martens was hired by Serfaty as his first assistant four years ago. And when Serfaty, who was known for his slick use of luxury leathers, passed away last year, Martens, now 30, was brought on to continue his legacy. "It's very emotional," said Martens of filling his mentor's shoes. "But he really helped me to understand the vision of his brand, and I'm doing this out of respect for everything that he had done before."
Tomorrow in Paris, Martens will unveil his first menswear lineup for the house. With its classic denim jackets, workwear pants, sharp leather jackets, embellished T-shirts, and origami pocket details, the collection promises to honor Serfaty's signature rough aesthetic. But Martens is bringing something new to the table, too: Y. Project's inaugural womenswear capsule, which he plans to expand into a full twenty-plus-look collection by the time February's ready-to-wear shows roll around. "I enjoy doing menswear," offered Martens. "But womenswear was my first love, and I think it will make a good statement for the new era of Y. Project."
Debuting exclusively here ahead of its trip down the Paris catwalk, the androgynous capsule was inspired in part by previous Y. Project collections, in part by Martens' obsession with construction (he studied architecture before joining the fashion game), and in part by Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct. "She's a real woman," said Martens of his Fall customer. "You don't want to mess with her."
There's definitely a tough-girl vibe about Martens' stretch leather tops, dark palette, and sharp geometric trousers and jackets. But there's something seductive about these looks, too. "You can be sensual without wearing 'pretty' clothes," Martens said. His bold breed of sex appeal comes via ingenious layered panels and slits. Take, for instance, the above pair of fluid, pleated trousers. Thanks to some cleverly placed slices, "they explode the moment you start walking," showing just the right amount of flesh. "Yohan designed womenswear a bit in the eighties, and he always wanted to do it for his own line," said Martens. "And I really feel like his fingers are still in this collection." If the preview is any indication, Martens has done Serfaty proud.

Just in case you mistakenly heard that it was all ice and snow in Russia, take a peek at the Big Bikini Exposition. This is right on the river Moskva in Moscow!
Moscow has been the capital of Russia for almost its entire history. The exception is during the period of the Russian Empire, which lasted from 1721 until the Russian Revolution 1917. For these two centuries the capital was St. Petersburg. The Russian Empire was the second largest contiguous Empire in world memory; only the Mongol Empire had been greater.

Although you may not have heard of Sochi, on the Black Sea, they're building up quickly and hope to host the 2014 Olympics.
Other periods of Russian history include the Tsardom of Russia, from Ivan IV to Peter the Great, and the Grand Duchy (14th-16th centuries).
The earliest period of Russian history was ruled by the Novgorod Republic and Kievan Rus, which was the first Russian state dating back to 800AD in Kiev.
Modern Russia remains one of the world's superpowers. They launched the earth's second satellite, called Sputnik 1, and were the first country to put a human being into orbit around earth. (The first one is called the Moon.)
After the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991, Russia became a federal republic of 83 states.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Stocks were mixed on Wall Street Wednesday despite an unexpectedly strong increase in U.S. consumer spending last month.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 13 points, or 0.1 percent, to 14,436 as of 10:48 a.m. EDT. The index rose for an eighth straight day Tuesday, its longest streak of advances in more than two years.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index was unchanged at 1,552. The Nasdaq composite fell one point, or 0.03 percent, to 3,241.
Americans spent at the fastest pace in five months in February, boosting retail spending 1.1 percent compared with January, the Commerce Department reported Wednesday. Economists had forecast a rise of just 0.2 percent, according to data provider FactSet.
"As the market rises, so do expectations," said Bill Stone, chief investment strategist at PNC Wealth Management. "So, even if you get good numbers you don't necessarily get the market to go up."
The solid increase in retail sales is encouraging for the economy because it shows that Americans kept spending despite a payroll tax increase that has lowered take-home pay this year for most workers. Consumer spending drives about 70 percent of the U.S. economy.
Stocks of retail companies rose after the report. Macy's rose 68 cents to $42.43 and Best Buy gained 32 cents to $20.59.
If the Dow closes higher, it would match the longest streak of advances since May 1996, according to Ryan Detrick, an analyst at Schaeffer's Investment Research. The Dow is up 10.2 percent this year and has closed at record highs over the previous six days.
Demand for stocks has been propelled this year by optimism that the housing market is recovering and that companies have started to hire. Strong company earnings and ongoing stimulus from the Federal Reserve are also helping make stocks more attractive.
The broader S&P 500 index has gained 8.8 percent and is within less than a percentage point of its record close of 1,1565.15 set in October 2007.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose to 2.05 percent from 2.02 percent.
Among stocks making big moves;
-- Spectrum Pharmaceuticals plunged $4.39, or 35 percent, to $8.01 after the pharmaceutical company said sales of its drug Fusilev could fall by more than half this year.
-- Dole dropped 60 cents to $11.12 after the company's fourth-quarter results fell short of analysts' expectations. The fruit company cited lower banana prices in North America.
-- Silver Spring Networks, a technology company based in Redwood City, California, surged $4.01, or 24 percent, to $21.01 on its stock market debut.

Dwight Howard told the media on Friday night that he may not be ready for the L.A. Lakers' opening night due to continued recovery from back surgery. He said that there's no timetable to get back into action, but that he hasn't lost any weight due to inactivity and hopes to be back in time to start the season with his new club.
Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak also said the team consulted with Howard's back surgeon, who said that once Howard is back in action, he should be as healthy as he'd been before the back surgery. Howard's new teammate Steve Nash has also dealt with back issues throughout his career. Kobe Bryant's ailments are typically associated with the knee.
If Howard is late joining L.A, coach Mike Brown will have plenty of options with Pau Gasol, Antawn Jamison, Jordan Hill and Earl Clark under contract.

The top leader of the Sunnyside School District apologized tonight to a school board member who was targeted for his sexual orientation.
The hate-filled flier has been circulating among residents in the Sunnyside School District as a recall effort is underway.
The flier says "Put a real man on the Sunnyside school board," and "We don't need someone who hates our values."
Every single person on the school board tonight said they outraged by this flier, including Superintendant Dr. Manuel Isquierdo, who personally apologized to Hernandez for having to deal with this.
"All I want to do is apologize to the board and to a particular board member who was targeted," Isquierdo said. "I am sad and sorry this is happening. I hope we can all continue to move forward."
Board member and January 8th shooting survivor Hernandez is one of four board members facing a recall petition. It all started with a split vote on this board to extend the contract of Isquierdo. The two men who support the superintendent are trying to recall the two who do not.
Despite the tension on the board, all of the board members say hate-filled fliers like this one really hit below the belt.
The flier indicates it was created by the Sunnyside Recall Committee. Tucson News Now went straight to the guy who is in charge of that organization.
When asked if the recall committee had any thing to do with the flier, Sunnyside Recall Committee President Richard Hernandez said, "Absolutely not. The reality is if you look at this vile document, that is hate. That is pure hate. That's being put out by the detractors of Daniel Hernandez or should I say the people who oppose him."
"They can make the accusation, I can't prove I didn't do it," said Louie Gonzales, the board member who faces recall petition.
"When I look at it it's pretty disgusting that first of all it's out there, [and] even more disgusting is that it's being attributed to us."

Logan is taking our Summer Opera Education Class: "Putting it Together." We asked her to share her experiences throughout this 8-week interactive class. Updates will be posted weekly. Enjoy!
This past week, our class libretto for the story of Antigone was set to music, composed incredibly in less than one week by the talented John Vergin! Tonight, our words and John Vergin's music came to life, thanks to the brilliant performances of two Portland Opera Resident Artists, mezzo-soprano alumni Hannah Penn as Ismene, King Creon, and the Guard; and Caitlin Mathes as Antigone, with Mr. Vergin himself on piano.
Composer John Vergin
It's one thing to read a libretto, and it's another to hear it sung with piano! We were able to hear everything twice: once with all four scenes sung straight through and once scene-by-scene with a discussion in between. Listening to our mini-opera straight through was truly amazing because we could hear how Mr. Vergin was able to string together four libretti (each written in different styles by different groups of people) into one coherent mini-opera. Hannah Penn and Caitlin Mathes embodied their characters and sang beautifully from beginning to end.
Front: Guest-blogger Logan Stewart
Rear (l-r): John Vergin, Hannah Penn, Caitlin Mathes
After the initial hearing of our mini-opera, we broke it down a little and talked about each scene after hearing them again individually. This time, we paid more attention to the subtext of each section. Not only did we listen closer to what Hannah and Caitlin were singing, but also to the motifs and dissonance in the piano. For example, Mr. Vergin wrote the score in unusual modes (ie: Dorian, Phrygian, etc.), which is most likely how the score would have been written in the era of the story (ancient Greece). This could be difficult for modern singers, who are used to singing in major and minor (or Ionian and Aeolian). Because he used unusual modes, it created a sense of uneasiness and dissonance when two characters were having an argument. An example of subtext from the singers is the color and bravura dynamic between the two singers. Hannah Penn is a darker mezzo-soprano, whereas Cailtin Mathes is a lighter mezzo-soprano. Both were able to show off their abilities by making their voices sound heavier and harsher when their characters were angry, and by adding a thoughtful lilt and softness when they were contemplative. Both also had lyrical phrases and a couple of runs that contrasted nicely. It is almost impossible to describe how a singer with a superficial interpretation becomes a performer with a deeper subtext, but our performers tonight were magnificent and added a new level of insight and interpretation to our libretto.
Fellow classmates
As a class, we had many questions for our performers and composer, such as "Was it hard to sing the words we wrote?" or "How would this sound in a different voice type?" etc. I loved the discussion and the insight each individual brought to the table. Everyone had a hunger to know more and to delve into the minds of our professional musicians. One of my favorite discussions was how Antigone would be interpreted if the cast had only female voices, and comparing female voice types for different roles ie: lyric mezzo-soprano versus coloratura soprano.
It was an insightful evening full of beautiful music and poetic words that we ourselves wrote! I can't wait for what next week has in store!
Truly yours,
Logan Stewart

Unruly fans delay NLCS opener
Tossed objects halt action after interference call in seventh
PHOENIX -- Game 1 of the National League Championship Series at Chase Field didn't end without incident, as a sellout crowd vented its anger with an umpire's call and the men in blue pulled the Rockies off the field for eight minutes in the bottom of the seventh inning when fans pelted the turf with objects."We get tired of having water bottles thrown on the field," said Rockies manager Clint Hurdle, who went out to discuss the matter with the umpires, and waved his team off the field. "That's all. It's just there comes a point in time where you need to make a point that enough's enough." Second-base umpire Larry Vanover raised the collective ire when he made an interference call on Justin Upton after the Diamondbacks right fielder came in with a high slide to upend Rockies second baseman Kaz Matsui on the front end of a double play. Augie Ojeda, who had grounded to third, was automatically deemed out at first base. The Rockies won, 5-1, and were leading by that score at the time. The Rox took a 1-0 lead in the best-of-seven series that continues here on Friday night. They have won an amazing 18 out of 19 since Sept. 16. The Diamondbacks won the NL West and this is the first time all year the home crowd has shown that kind of emotion. "Obviously, we don't condone that," D-backs manager Bob Melvin said. "You don't want stuff being thrown on the field. We're not in favor of that." Melvin came out to argue the call, but to no avail. "Obviously, I didn't agree going out there. But I think [Upton] was in a position where he could touch the base." Said Upton: "I told [Vanover] I was close to the bag, that the rule is to be within touching distance of the bag, and I told him I was. He said nothing back." A small portion of the sellout crowd of 48,142 became unruly almost immediately after the call. During the brief intermission, the field was cleared of garbage and the game was able to resume. The D-backs were unable to score despite having four baserunners in that inning. "The fans couldn't hear the announcements," said Richie Garcia, the supervisor of umpires, who was in attendance. "I believe there were three or four announcements, and they couldn't hear them. So we took the players off the field. We've got to do something."
"Once the situation arose, we did all we could do to bring it to a stop," added Derrick Hall, the D-backs' president. "We went to the cheer [scoreboard prompt of 'Let's Go D-backs']. And we ceased alcohol sales at that time. The fans were obviously upset, and expressed their emotion."It's too bad that it became about the umpires, but I guess it showed our fans aren't that apathetic after all." According to Major League Baseball Rule 7.09(f), it is interference by a batter or a runner "when and if, in the judgment of the umpire, a base runner willfully and deliberately interferes with a batted ball or a fielder in the act of fielding a batted ball with the obvious intent to break up a double play, the ball is dead. The umpire shall call the runner out for interference and also call out the batter-runner because of the action of his teammate. In no event may bases be run or runs scored because of such action by a runner." Chris Snyder had opened the inning with a double and Upton had been hit by a pitch, putting runners on first and second with none out against Colorado left-hander Jeff Francis. Ojeda grounded to third baseman Garrett Atkins, who made the relay throw to second. Matsui took the throw and decided not to make the relay, stepping off the base toward the third-base side, where he was knocked over by Upton. After Vanover made the call, Snyder was sent back to second base as per the rule. Matsui said he had no chance of making the throw to first and that Upton had elbowed him in the right knee, "where I was standing."

The Rhode Island Department of Health has agreed to give expedited review to Lawrence & Memorial Hospital's application to purchase The Westerly Hospital.
Attorney Mark Russo, the court-appointed special master in The Westerly Hospital receivership case said this is the first time an expedited procedure has been granted by Rhode Island hospital regulators under the state's Hospital Conversion Act.
"This is a huge step towards the Westerly Hospital emerging from the Mastership proceeding," Russo said Monday in an email message.
Mike O'Farrell, spokesman for L&M, said the sale proceedings are on track for a closing to take place in January.

This post was originally a comment in Rumney Is the Outback Cave known by a different name or is it still out in the woods?
It is way, way, way out there. I think Bradley hasn't even found it yet,lol. I was at a New England sport crag this weekend that has tons of great 10s, 11s, and 12s of the quality of some of the best of Rumney (It kind of reminded me of Orange Crush, some of the Main Cliff with some flavor of a southern sandstone crag thrown in..no joke) It was such a joy to be at a fully bolted crag of high quality that hasn't been ghettoized by people who have had their outdoor aesthetic skewed by too much formative time at the gym, a steep sport crag without ratty looking, dangerous fixed draws strewn all over it. If you grow up in a trailer park with a fat mom who sits around in her purple stretch pants smoking ciggies, you will probably think that is fine. This crag maintained the outdoor magic. I think I will generally refrain from publicizing my new sport routes unless they are at a generally trad area or otherwise have little chance of being over-run.
oh Man, you are killing me. Just a lat and a long for that special crag would be a blessing.
Mark - do i get one guess ?
Mark how would you feel about PMing me direction to the Outback Cave?
More to my point: https://www.facebook.com/RrgFixedGearEthicsInitiative I would be more inclined to mention other crags if I saw the fixed draws at Rumney reduced to at least under 100, for aesthetic and safety reasons. I feel a little like when my best bivy spot got closed down from visiting climbers leaving dirty diapers laying around.
That's funny, Mark because, I was thinking 12 to 15 routes with fixed draws as the max. But I think 100 draws total is more realistic since for most climbs, we should only need to fix some of the draws but not all of them. I saw quite a bit of this practice down at The Red my last visit there.
amen mark. so many beautiful cliffs, with so many more up and coming. It's nice to keep some off the radar. But, you can't be bolting the next rumney, cause we are! Had a great day out at new said crag on sunday. It could use your eye, but i have been sworn to secrecy. :-) Did you get out with Todd, i was hoping to go.
I didn't even notice that you extracted my comment into a thread - thanks Mark! It should have been here in the first place.
How quickly do the draws degrade? Most of them are used on overhanging sections, so they probably weather/wear slowly (?). Would this fall under the general crag fund (same people who manage the bolting)? I'd be willing to donate some quick draws too, fwiw. [if there's a better thread where this has already been discussed please point me there]
Between weathered draws and worn biners, the biners are the most dangerous part. If a draw simply snapped, you may not deck, but if a worn biner cuts your rope, you will. Leaving aesthetics aside and just dealing with the safety aspect, a lower number of fixed draws would make it easier to regularly keep track of wear and use the best gear (steel biners etc.)
Again, I agree with Mark, and while every good condition biner donated is appreciated, we should all think about replacing aluminium biners with steel ones when it comes to fixed draws. If you have to use Al, then put a good one on, preferrably one which is not made from "T" cross-sectionally shaped Al stock. Al biners made from round stock are very hard to find these days unless one resorts to using (gasp) oval biners .....
Of course, if we as climbers only used fixed draws where absolutely needed, and otherwise used and removed our own, the danger of old gear would be greatly lessened. And to the earlier point, the aesthetics could be much improved. I know quite a few route developers who are totally into sport climbing and the convenience and safety that it entails, who feel that the whole fixed draw and general disregard for keeping our outdoor crags looking like they are outdoors has gotten completely out of hand. Pretty much all the main developers of the best New England sport crags whom I have spoken to feel that way and therefor are becoming much more hesitant to share new areas. If we as a community could step back and get a little under control, it would be better for all of us. We would have more, better looking crags, better relations with the land managers and safer climbing.
Agreed, Mark.
How would you define which routes (or individual bolts) should have fixed draws? Would, say, Orangahang qualify? www.mountainproject.com/v/orangahang/105929673
IMO I would think if there was a safety issue, like Orangahang where falling on a TR risks shearing your rope, or if its very difficult to clean, those are legitimate reasons for fixed draws, also if a bolt had to go in a spot that is unusually difficult to clip without a preplaced draw. In rare instances, if a few fixed draws helps eliminate a clusterfuck and keeps people moving along, they are worth it. In balance against the negatives, I don't think pure speed and convenience or having to know a few techniques for cleaning your draws are legit. The safety issues, ghettoizing the crag and upsetting land managers and other users and the effort, organization and cost needed to keep them up is not worth it.
Is the Outback Cave on the north side of the Rattlesnake hiking trail? I have noticed a little bit of rock peaking out from the hillside when approaching from Sandy Hill Road. Is the Outback Cave more difficult to find than the Infinity Wall, hah!
