Saw an auction advertised for last Saturday in a town about 20 miles away. Sale bill mentioned "IH Yard Cart." Same day we were supposed to attend the IHC Chapter #1 Christmas dinner in a town about 100 miles away. Have been keeping an eye open for one and low and behold the day one comes up at an auction, I have to be somewhere else! What to do? Why not both?
We drove to the auction and checked it out. Had a lot of nice old things, including an International 184 and a Cub Cadet 100 with front blade and deck (rear weights too). Found the Cub Cadet yard cart. CC built them like their tractors; to last. Looked it over when we arrived and was in great shape. No rust through, light surface rust, tilt-bed handle worked, and original decals and tires. Caught up with the auctioneer and left an opening bid, a top bid, and contact info, then left. Went to the dinner and had a good time, then on the return trip home, decided to stop off at the auction around 3:00 PM.
Found the auctioneer and he told me I had won the bid for less than a Benjamin Franklin. Picked it up yesterday...
Will put it to good use around the yard next Spring/Summer. Am very pleased!

U.S takes gold cup title!!!!!
I know most of you boys and gals don't like soccer but I love it and U.S took the gold cup title in an unbelievable game.
U.S. rallies past Mexico 2-1 to defend Gold Cup title
CHICAGO (AP) -- Change the venue, change the coaches, change the players. The only thing that doesn't change when Mexico and the United States play is the result.
Landon Donovan scored his 34th career goal, tying Eric Wynalda atop the career list, and Benny Feilhaber connected on a gorgeous volley as the United States rallied for a 2-1 victory over Mexico on Sunday in the final of the CONCACAF Gold Cup, the championship of North and Central America and the Caribbean.
The victory extended the Americans' dominance over their neighbors to the south and gave them a berth in the 2009 Confederations Cup in South Africa, an important tuneup ahead of the 2010 World Cup. The United States is 9-2-1 against Mexico since 2000, including 8-0-1 on U.S. soil.
Mexico at least managed a goal this time, snapping a streak of eight straight shutouts in the United States. Jose Andres Guardado's goal in the 44th minute was El Tri's first on U.S. soil in 797 minutes.
Mexico had a chance to tie it in the 89th minute when Adolfo Bautista came up with a loose ball in front of the goal. But goalkeeper Tim Howard reached up as he was falling, and punched the ball free to preserve the win.
The teams failed to shake hands after the final whistle, another recent "tradition" in this rivalry. Instead, the Americans ran over to Sam's Army -- really more of a platoon -- to salute the small contingent of U.S. fans in the sellout crowd of 60,000. Donovan tossed his shirt into the stands, then grabbed a U.S. flag that a fan tossed and wrapped it around his shoulders.
This is the fourth Gold Cup title for the Americans, tying them with Mexico. It also kept new coach Bob Bradley's perfect record intact at 10-0-1. Bradley took over as interim coach after Bruce Arena was let go after the World Cup, and was given the job permanently May 16.
His task gets tougher Thursday, when he leads a U.S. team without most its regular starters against Argentina at the Copa America, South America's championship.
During its run of success against Mexico, the United States has taken the early lead and then held on. Its aggressive counterattacking style was usually enough to fluster Mexico and keep it off balance long enough to get away with a victory.
Not this time.
Mexico jumped out to a first-half lead, and the Americans were forced to play catch up, something they're not used to. But they got a break in the 60th minute, when Brian Ching was tripped up in the box by Jose Jonny Magallon. Compared to the other rough-and-tumble antics Sunday, this barely looked like a foul. Magallon tugged at Ching's jersey, and the two tangled feet as Ching turned around.
But it was all Donovan needed.
Donovan, the U.S. player Mexican fans most love to boo, took a slow jog to the ball and appeared to barely give it much of a kick. But Mexico goalie Oswaldo Sanchez started to move to his right, then hesitated, and that split second cost hm any chance he had of getting to the ball, which hit the right corner of the net for Donovan's fourth goal of the tournament, all on penalty kicks.
As his teammates mobbed him, Donovan wiped his brow as if to say, "That was a relief."
The goal seemed to loosen up all of the Americans. Ten minutes later, Donovan took a corner kick that was flicked clear by a Mexican defender. But the ball went right to Feilhaber, who scored on a perfect right-footed volley from 22 yards out for his second goal in eight international appearances.
The goal -- and the switch in the lead -- was enough to convert some of the pro-Mexico crowd. Though the fans cheered wildly when Cuauhtemoc Blanco came on as a late substitute, there were a smattering of "U-S-A! U-S-A!" chants in the final minutes.
The Americans could have added another goal, too. Donovan fed DaMarcus Beasley with a perfect cross in front of the goal, but Beasley's shot banged off the crossbar.
It was Mexico that was doing the counterattacking early, pushing and shoving and playing the Americans' kind of game. It worked, too. After struggling to finish several early chances, Nery Castillo beat Oguchi Onyewu and crossed to Guardado in front of the box in the 44th minute.
Guardado had been left unmarked and was all alone by the left post. As Howard slipped, Guardado poked the ball into the goal with his left foot, setting off a frenzied celebration on the field and in the stands.

Re: U.S takes gold cup title!!!!!
Wow, I'm already pumped for the World Cup with that stat 10-0-1, im even excited to see the game w/ Argentina, that could be interesting w/out starters...
Re: U.S takes gold cup title!!!!!
It is nice that we are regularly better than Mexico ... but honestly this is more of a relief than anything worth celebrating. If we lose the CONCACAF it would be a joke. The tournament is a weak field except for us and Mexico and neither one of us would be competing if the World Cup was set for this summer.
Hopefully, a couple more years of fine-tuning will get us ready for 2010, but as long as the best athletes in this country continue to play at least three other sports before soccer ... it will continue to be difficult to compete with the big boys in the big time international events.

My guy from Copenhagen, Atiba Hutchinson was robbed for a goal in the semi's vs USA
Re: U.S takes gold cup title!!!!!
As the rest of the world gets better at basketball, the USA soccer team continue's to get better. I can't wait for a big run in the World Cup. Beating Argentina would be a fine statement to the World of soccer.

From i3Detroit
|Under no circumstances should non-natural materials be used on the jointer. This includes; masonite, particle board, or various other man-made materials. Using these on the jointer will dull it very quickly.
|Remember to always; clean up and return the equipment to a fully functional, safe state before you leave. This includes returning any safety mechanisms to fully working order.
A jointer is used to create a straight surface on a wooden board. It can also be used to create a second straight surface at a right angle to the first straight surface.
Basic Info
- Ownership: TBD, best contacts are Dave Alvarez and Greg Smith.
- Location: The jointer should be stored in the Wood Shop. It is on a wheeled base so it can be rolled out to provide clearance for working with long boards.
- What it looks like:
Manufacturer Information
- Make/Model: Chiu Ting WJT-150 (6 inch jointer)
- Part Number: S/N 4932
not specified
- To prevent nicks on the blades, please check your board carefully and remove nails, screws, and any other metal bits.
- Work with pure wood only, please! Masonite, for example, will quickly dull the blades. Even plywood, particleboard, MDF, and the like will shorten the blade life because of the glue content.
Set the cutting depth
The depth adjustment ...
Turn it On
The power switch is located on the front of the base.
Turn it Off
The power switch is located on the front of the base.
Other References
not specified
Two critical adjustments need to be maintained on the jointer. The infeed and outfeed tables need to be parallel to within 0.001 in. or so, and the blades need to be 0.001 in. higher than the outfeed table.
Things that Need to be Done
- The sawdust chute dumps directly onto the floor. Perhaps a box or a dust collection hose would make cleanup more convenient.
- What is a jointer? Wikipedia has an excellent article on the Jointer.
- Is there an online video that discusses jointer table/cutter alignment? Yes: jointer adjustments

Underprivileged schools would get more per-student funding than other schools across the state under a proposed budget unveiled by Gov. Jerry Brown Thursday.
"Our future depends not on across-the-board funding, but disproportionately funding those schools that have disproportionate challenges," Brown said at a press conference.
He also said most categorical funding for schools should be eliminated and the money delivered more directly.
"As you go up the line you lose control and build bureaucracy," the governor said. "We want to put the money into local schools, but create greater control."
Brown also said the state's deficit is gone for the first time in years, adding it could reduce its debt substantially by 2016.
"The deficit's gone; the wall of debt remains," Brown said, noting the state's $36 billion debt could be reduced to $4.3 billion by 2016.
The budget proposed by Brown also increases per-student funding for all levels of education; by the 2016-17 school year, K-12 schools would see a $2,681 increase in spending for each student. At the CSU and UC levels, spending would increase by about $2,000 and $2,500 by 2016-17, respectively.

Inside the Box
Body image, stuttering, accidental bisexuality: Borderlands 2 writer Anthony Burch talks inclusion
Video game characters tend to fall into one of these camps: Someone that adolescent males want to be, or someone adolescent males went to sleep with. There are exceptions, but they're rare, especially in larger budget action games.
This look at some of the diverse characters in Borderlands 2 is fascinating for a number of reasons, including the fact that so much of the reaction Burch found in players happened by accident.
That character wasn't explicitly written to be bisexual, but it worked. A character's stutter ended up being an important bit of characterization for others. That's the sort of thing that you may sometimes luck into, and it's smart that those things became a lasting part of those characters after the positive reactions.
What's even better is that this wasn't trumpeted from the rooftops when the game launched, it was merely a game filled with interesting characters, going about their lives. It's neat stuff, and it's great to hear some of the thought process behind how it all happened.

"Everyone wants a villain," A.J. Pierzynski said. "Look at what LeBron James has gone through the past few years. My teammates get the best kick of it. When we go to Oakland, Anaheim, San Francisco, Minnesota, Cleveland, I get loud boos. Guys on my team can't wait to see that and to hear that."
Seattle Mariners ace Felix Hernandez on Wednesday afternoon pitched the 23rd perfect game in Major League Baseball history and the third this season.
Johnny Pesky, beloved member of the Red Sox Hall of fame who spent 61 years with the renowned baseball club, died Monday at the age of 92, the Boston franchise said.
Black crepe paper hangs over the column this morning. Garrett Reid, Andy Reid's oft-troubled 29-year-old son, was found dead in his Lehigh University dorm room at Eagles' training camp Sunday morning.
Boston police say they've apprehended a Red Sox employee who absconded earlier with the costume of the team's beloved mascot, Wally the Green Monster.
Boosted by a big run from the Texas Rangers, the American League has topped the NL in interleague play for the ninth straight year.
Five Cuts from a Father's Day edition of interleague play:
Magic Johnson teared up about owning a team that broke the color barrier.
"When you and I went to dinner in Arizona in the spring of 2011," I say to Ned Colletti, general manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers, "you thought your team might be a lot better than it turned out to be."
Pitcher Matt Cain talks about his perfect game, the first in San Francisco Giants history.
San Francisco Giants pitcher Matt Cain threw a perfect game Wednesday night in a 10-0 victory against the Houston Astros, the first pitcher to achieve that feat in Giants history.
Matt Cain was always there. His teammate, Tim Lincecum, might be the Freak, but Cain was the Fixture. The foundation that the San Francisco Giants pitching staff was built on.
STONY BROOK, N.Y. -- In the old days coach Matt Senk would try to avoid showing recruits the baseball field. Among the quirks of Stony Brook's home diamond was a small slope down the rightfield line that meant players sitting in the dugout could only see above the uniform letters of the rightfielder. First basemen chasing foul pop-ups with their heads turned toward the ball would often trip on the unexpected downhill.
Five Cuts from the second weekend of interleague play:
While most of America slept the night before the Greatest Sports Day Ever (Until The Next One), six Seattle Mariners pitchers served up the kind of historic performance that will be hard to match on Saturday by anyone or anything in Paris or Poland, Las Vegas or Long Island, Miami or Newark.
A judge ordered two men to stand trial on charges relating to the beating of San Francisco Giants fan Bryan Stow after a Los Angeles Dodgers game last year.
OAKLAND -- If there were a team, any baseball team, that could use the services of an aging slugger, a potential Hall of Famer -- no matter his age or agility -- it would appear to be the Oakland Athletics.
Before we talk about 500-foot bombs, or 450-foot home runs hit with broken bats, or the time that Charlie Manuel was left speechless and the day Dave Winfield finally saw The Next Dave Winfield, a word to the reader: Don't believe every tale about Giancarlo Cruz Michael Stanton.
He was arguably the top prospect in baseball coming into this season. He plays centerfield, has power, speed and pure hitting ability. Called up in late April and inserted into the starting lineup, the former first-round pick has become the lynchpin of his team's offense and could well prove to be key to that team snapping its playoff drought. Perhaps most impressively, he's doing that at an age when merely holding one's own in the major leagues is a tremendous accomplishment and most other ballplayers his age are either in the low minors or college. He is not Bryce Harper. He is Mike Trout.
Want the inside scoop on steroids, Manny Ramirez and more? Larry talks baseball with ultimate insider, Tommy Lasorda.
Former Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda suffered a mild heart attack Monday while in New York, the Los Angeles team confirmed Tuesday.
The surprises began with the very first pick of the 2012 MLB draft -- when the Astros selected Puerto Rican shortstop Carlos Correa instead of the widely expected choice, Stanford righthanded pitcher Mark Appel -- and didn't stop there. Here's a quick look at the winners and losers from the first round and the compensation round.
The honorific of Best Hitter in Baseball is hereby declared open for claim, at least until Albert Pujols fully rediscovers the form that locked down the title. Pujols has slipped enough to rank 21st in batting average, 11th in slugging and sixth in adjusted OPS over the past three seasons. That's enough slippage to leave the title up for grabs.
The past two times the Houston Astros have selected first overall, the results have been solid, if not spectacular.
This weekend saw the White Sox continue their hot streak, four series played among the tightly bunched teams in the two Eastern divisions, and the ascendant Angels take two of three from the first-place Rangers, but the most compelling series was the one still going on in New York between the Mets and Cardinals. That series announced itself when Johan Santana threw the first no-hitter in Mets history on Friday night, and has become more compelling with each successive dominant Mets pitching performance. Meanwhile, with their loss on Sunday, the defending world champions saw their record fall to an even .500 and slipped a half-game behind the Pirates into third place in the National League Central.
On Sunday, it was reported that the Houston Astros will select Stanford righthander Mark Appel with the first pick in Monday's MLB Draft. How will the rest of the first round break down? Dave Perkin, a former major league scout and SI.com's draft analyst, makes his selections below. For more from Perkin, follow his live analysis of the first-round starting at 7 p.m. Monday night.
The Mets had played 8,019 regular season games and 64 postseason games across 50-plus seasons before June 1, 2012, but it wasn't until Johan Santana held the Cardinals without a hit on Friday night that one of their pitchers had thrown a no-hitter.
How can I explain this? When it comes to no-hitters, the thing about being a Mets fan was that it always felt like everyone got to have a birthday except me. With the exception of the San Diego Padres, every franchise in baseball had at least one no-hitter in its history but the Mets. Every fanbase had experienced that magical feeling that comes out of nowhere, when a regular game turns into a piece of history, when the guy on the mound for their team has talent and fate and maybe a generous umpire on his side and throws nine hitless innings -- except us luckless followers of the Mets. As a fan of the team for more than 40 years, I had resigned myself to a lifetime of watching other teams periodically hit the lottery. For my Mets, a no-no would never be.
New York Mets pitcher Johan Santana tossed the first no-hitter in the franchise's history Friday night in an 8-0 win over the St. Louis Cardinals.
If it seems as if a star player goes on the DL every day, you're wrong. Sometimes it's two, as happened Thursday when Matt Kemp and Troy Tulowitzki added to the casualty list of a season rocked by injuries to big-time players.
Todd Frazier isn't a little guy. The Cincinnati Reds' third baseman stands 6-foot-3. He weighs 220 pounds after breakfast. In five minor league seasons, he hit 74 home runs. This year, he has five homers in 76 at-bats. He can hit the ball a long way. He has never hit one like the one he hit Sunday at Great American Ball Park.
Before the million-and-a-half signing bonus or the relief appearance in which he threw 10 straight pitches of at least 101 miles per hour, Padres pitcher Andrew Cashner endured four straight drafts in which he received undulating annual assessments of his ability and potential.

Golf journalist David Dusek discusses Phil Mickelson's entry into golf's Hall of Fame with CNN's Amanda Davies.
BOSTON (AP) -- Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine called out the Tampa Bay Rays' coaching staff a day after the teams were involved in a benches-clearing scrum.
Before his first game in the Bronx, Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas walked out beyond the centerfield fence and visited Monument Park. He soaked in the history, read the remembrances of the all-time great players and took note of the plaques celebrating the legacy of George Steinbrenner and commemorating the tragedy of 9/11.
There aren't a lot of accessories in Flyover Country. No beaches, no mountains, few really tall buildings. In Cincinnati, there isn't a lot of history stored in museums. We are not The Hub of the Universe, the way Boston has decided it is.

Five Cuts from the first weekend of interleague play:
This weekend brings the start of interleague play, marking the 16th season of commissioner Bud Selig's experiment with having teams from the two leagues play each other during the regular season, something which had never happened prior to 1997. This season will also be the final one in which interleague play will follow its long-established format with most teams playing one interleague series in May, followed by five more in mid June. Next season, the Astros will move to the American League West, leaving both leagues with 15 teams, an odd number that will necessitate interleague play throughout the season. With that in mind, here are five thoughts on the past and future of interleague play.
While the NFL sells quarterbacks and NBA sells scorers, the appeal of baseball rests more on teams and regional allegiance. The individual player with national appeal -- the one who sells tickets on the road and who creates a bump in TV ratings outside his market -- has been a rarity in recent years. But the first two months of this season have created personalities that provide baseball with chances for just such appointment-viewing type players.
He's brash, bold and has the skills to back it up. 19-year-old phenom Bryce Harper is less than a month into his baseball career with the Washington Nationals, and he's already making his presence felt in the nation's capital. With high-profile magazine covers and international baseball experience already on his resume, the Nationals are looking to Harper to be one of their building blocks as they try to put Washington baseball on the map.
Sometimes it is easier for the highly skilled, purpose driven athlete to deal with injuries that happen in the blink of an eye. You crash into the wall; you take a bad step; you throw an awkward pitch. You break a bone; you snap a tendon; you tear a ligament. As painful and psychologically challenging as those injuries can be, at least what comes next is often clear cut. You get it fixed. You don't play for a month, or six months, or a year. Then, if all goes well, you do.
SAN FRANCISCO -- "Used to" isn't an encouraging way to describe an athlete who's 27, never had a major injury and was considered state-of-the art just 18 months ago.
On the same night Josh Hamilton smashed two home runs against the Angels he also dove headlong into first base just as many times. The game last Friday represented a good snapshot of why Hamilton is the most compelling player in baseball today: he takes your breath away, whether admiring his talent or fearing he can't hold up.
BALTIMORE -- The year 2012 has welcomed strange days that have nothing to do with any antiquated Mayan forecast and everything to with baseball at the extremes. The season has already seen a perfect game, a no-hitter and a cycle, three rare results that can't compete with what's happening with the Baltimore Orioles.
WASHINGTON -- Jonathan Papelbon may have left behind his native Nation but as he goes around his new city, he can't help but sense that its friendly people, laid-back feel and sidewalk cafes give it a European flavor.
John Smoltz and Dennis Eckersley discuss Angels pitcher Jered Weaver's remarkable no-hitter against the Minnesota Twins.
Baseball's new epidemic selects its victims carefully. It targets inhabitants of the same community, each of whom can be found residing on the pitcher's mound in the ninth inning of close games.
Gone are the franchise first baseman, the legendary manager, the master pitching coach and the shrewd draft architect. The top returning slugger has played just seven games. One co-ace is injured with an uncertain date of return; the other, fresh off a season-long absence, has just two quality starts in six tries.
This is the Code at its deepest and most ingrained levels. It is the confluence of ability and pride and hype and the concept that all men must earn their stripes. It is the old guard welcoming the new -- player and team alike -- with an unmistakable challenge: Welcome to the big time. Let's see if you can hack it.
Five Cuts on a weekend dominated by the two pitching-led franchises who make their homes on either side of the Capitol Beltway:
A Panama native nicknamed "Mo," who endeared himself to New Yorkers with a cut fastball that baffled baseball's finest sluggers, is faced with the prospect of an unceremonious end to his illustrious 18-year career.
Few scenarios in baseball are so unnerving as the lack of reliable late-inning relief, and few places are so inhospitable to that uncertainty as the back pages of the New York tabloids.
EDITOR'S NOTE: This column originally ran in September 2011 as Mariano Rivera closed in on the career saves record.
Another month, another no-hitter. In the fresh spike marks of Philip Humber, Jered Weaver of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim threw the second no-hitter of the season Wednesday night. It was the 10th no-hitter inside of two calendar years. Since Opening Day 2010, you are more likely to see a no-hitter (11 of them) than a cycle (seven) or a 130-pitch game (nine). And in these past three years no-hitters are occurring more than three times more often than they did in the previous decade.
Angels ace Jered Weaver threw the 274th no-hitter in major league history Wednesday night. It was the second no-hit game of this young season, and the 11th since the start of the 2010 season (12th if you include Armando Galarraga's 28-out perfect game). Here are five thoughts on the accomplishment.
The Los Angeles Dodgers, one of the most successful franchises in Major League Baseball, ushered in a new era of ownership Wednesday while ending a dismal chapter of ownership under Frank McCourt, who baseball's commissioner described as "looting" the club of $190 million to fund an extravagant lifestyle.
Did you see the guy in the Batman underpants who leapt from the bleachers at Camden Yards on Opening Day and spent 63 seconds eluding justice on the outfield grass, his cape flouncing in the breeze, before a pile of policemen -- presumably in defiance of Commissioner Gordon -- finally tackled him in left-centerfield?
WASHINGTON -- Justin Upton was walking by the pool of a resort in the Bahamas, an offseason respite after leading the Diamondbacks to a division title, when he saw someone familiar.
On April 7, 1984, a 19-year-old phenom named Dwight Gooden walked to the mound at the Astrodome in Houston for his big league debut with the New York Mets while a 22-year-old named Darryl Strawberry took his place in rightfield for career game number 126 and Davey Johnson, a manager in his first full season with the team, watched from the dugout. Gooden would win the game, Strawberry would hit a home run and the balance of power in the National League reached a tipping point. Over the next seven seasons no team won more games, no team delighted and annoyed more fans and no team drew more attention than the New York Mets.
With the arrival of outfielders Bryce Harper and Mike Trout this week, five of Baseball America's six pre-season prospects are in the majors (only Atlanta's Julio Teheran, who debuted last year but is currently pitching at Triple-A, is still in the minors).
If you told me eight years ago I'd end up writing an article extolling the virtues of Los Angeles, I would have laughed.
At least one person is killed and many injured when a tent at a St. Louis sports bar collapses during severe weather.
One person was killed and 16 others hospitalized Saturday afternoon when a sports bar tent collapsed during a storm that swept through the St. Louis area, fire officials said.
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Bryce Harper's first day in the major leagues came with all the hype one would expect for the player dubbed "Baseball's Chosen One" when he was only 16 years old.
On Sunday in Chicago, Cincinnati's Aroldis Chapman threw an unhittable pitch. It wasn't a 100 mph fastball behind the ear flap, or a slider a time zone off the plate. It was a strike. A 99 mile-an-hour pitch on the inside corner and at the knees of Cubs third baseman Ian Stewart. Stewart couldn't have hit it with God's bat.
The Red Sox organization lives on the cutting edge of statistical analysis. It has reams of information available for the field staff and is not shy about making hair-splitting suggestions about how to deploy it. It employs stats guru Bill James. And yet manager Bobby Valentine posted a lineup in the clubhouse Wednesday thinking righthanded Twins starter Liam Hendriks was lefthanded. He checked his cell phone and got it wrong.
Billy Beane knew what he had in Gio Gonzalez: a young, durable, lefthanded strikeout artist. If Beane, the Oakland A's general manager, was going to deal him last winter -- even in the midst of a fire sale in which virtually every player on the A's roster, save second baseman Jemile Weeks, was available -- it would be for a return of the sort that would decimate most trading partners' farm systems.
Just three weeks into the season, a journeyman castoff has pitched a perfect game and a two-time Cy Young winner has an 8.20 ERA. Those might be two of the biggest surprises from the first three weeks of the season but they are far from the only ones. Here are five good, five bad and one very curious unexpected development so far.
When his team plays at home, the Red Sox manager holds press conferences in front of a red brick wall that lends an unintentional air of comedy or tragedy to his every utterance, the brick-wall backdrop being synonymous with stand-up comedy and firing squads and official announcements from the Boston Red Sox, for whom April has alternated between farce and doom.
Brian Dawkins was never a crossover athlete on a national scale. He never went on Letterman or Leno. Never appeared on the cover of a video game or a reality show. We had only a vague idea what was in his crib.
Another perfect game? Ho Humber. This is getting routine.
Philip Humber of the Chicago White Sox has pitched a perfect game in a 4-0 win over the Mariners in Seattle.

Half the time that Padres third baseman Chase Headley steps to the plate, the opposing fielders can take their gloves off, sit down and not have to worry about the baseball being playable.
Miami Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen is suspended despite his apologies for Castro remarks. CNN's John Zarrella reports.
Bobby Valentine was brought to Boston as a knee-jerk reaction to a perfect storm of last year's late-season collapse, wild accusations about allegedly dispassionate players, and a clubhouse culture that allowed such accusations to surface in the first place.
A bankruptcy court Friday approved the $2 billion sale of the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team to a group that includes former basketball star Earvin "Magic" Johnson.
At 1-5 entering their home opener today, the Boston Red Sox are in worse shape than they were last year when they began 0-6. The 0-6 start was an anomaly by a set team that would be the best club in baseball until September arrived. This year's team has far more loose ends and questions: catcher, shortstop, leftfield, rightfield, closer , starting rotation and, if you believe Bobby Valentine needs early success to validate the cultural change he brings post-Terry Francona, manager.
NEW YORK -- A few days after Jayson Werth signed his first professional contract in mid-June 1997, the first-round pick of the Orioles traveled to Baltimore for an introductory press conference at Camden Yards.
NEW YORK -- At the age of 29, and as he is left out of the industry trend of teams locking up franchise players, New York Mets third baseman David Wright has begun already a third act to his career. It is the comeback phase. After a career-worst season in 2011, when it appeared that a canyon of a ballpark was extracting the greatness from his career, Wright went back to his roots. He hit last winter at a high school batting cage with Nick Boothe, the baseball coach at Virginia Wesleyan who had worked with Wright as a teenager.

Thursday brought the first multi-game slate of the 2012 baseball season and Opening Day for 13 teams. It was a day dominated by starting pitching, which was occasionally undermined by shaky relief pitching, and also brought us the longest Opening Day game in major league history, just to remind us that baseball will always show you something you've never seen before.
The 2012 baseball season had its third Opening Day on Thursday with six pitching-dominated games and one, between the Indians and Blue Jays, that rolled on for an Opening Day-record 16 innings before finally concluding. On Friday, the 13 teams that still haven't launched their seasons will at long last get their uniforms dirty amid a nine-game slate.
NEW YORK -- Johan Santana assumed his familiar broad-legged stance on the third-base side of the pitching rubber when pitching out of the windup, and then he mowed down hitters by changing speeds and locating pitches.
SI.com will be live-blogging today's season openers. Check back all day long for updates on Thursday afternoon's games from Cliff Corcoran (Red Sox vs. Tigers, Marlins vs. Reds), Joe Lemire (Mets vs. Braves), Ben Reiter (Phillies vs. Pirates) , Gary Gramling (Nationals vs. Cubs) and Ted Keith (Blue Jays vs. Indians). All times Eastern.
Baseball's newest venue is officially open, and it's impossible to look at Marlins Park in Miami without thinking, That place looks like fun. The fish swimming in the backstop, the Jacques-Cousteau-meets-Timothy-Leary home run sculpture, the South Beach nightclub satellite behind the bullpen, the pop art installations scattered on the courses: Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria isn't kidding when he says the ballpark he helped conceive and build "is meant to make you smile." Loria spent enough on free agents this winter to sound believable when he says he wants fans to focus on the game and the team. But, just in case your mind wanders, he made sure that baseball is not the only entertainment option at Marlins Park.
The 2012 Major League Baseball season officially opened last week in Japan, where the A's and Mariners played a mostly forgettable two-game series, and starts Stateside on Wednesday night when the Marlins face the defending World Series champion Cardinals. Thursday, though, is when the season really begins.
Although the western hemisphere's Opening Day isn't for another week, the 2012 baseball season officially got underway in Japan on Wednesday morning when the A's and Mariners played the first of two games in Tokyo, which means it's high time that I update my 2012 awards predictions from November.
Of Major League Baseball's six divisions, only the NL West has sent each of its clubs to the playoffs at least once since 2006. "There's no clear favorite from year to year," says Giants GM Brian Sabean, "which makes it interesting."

While election-year politics played a role at the Dec. 19 press conference during which three Democratic state lawmakers called on Gov. Rick Scott to increase, not cut, spending for the state Department of Children & Families, the politicians made a good point: One of the agency's mandates is child protection, and it's called that for a reason. The DCF is supposed to keep Florida's at-risk kids, all of them, out of harm.
In 2013, the agency's record on safeguarding children has been abysmal. Dozens of children whose perilous situations were known to the DCF died as the agency stood by. The crisis came to a head during the summer, as the Miami Herald and other media outlets published accounts of the increasing number of deaths from neglect and abuse of children within the DCF's purview. Facing growing criticism, DCF Secretary David Wilkins resigned. His interim replacement, Esther Jacobo of the Miami DCF district, promised reforms.
But even as he decried the deaths then, Gov. Scott is pursuing further cuts from state agencies, including DCF, for his 2014 budget. Taking direct aim at the governor, state Rep. Perry Thurston, a Broward Democrat and leader of the Democratic Caucus in the state House, challenged the governor's quest for more DCF cuts. Reading from a letter to Mr. Scott, Mr. Thurston said, "It would be abhorrent to ask the agency you have tasked with [children's] protection to make budget cuts."
Mr. Thurston, who is vying to be his party's candidate for attorney general next year against, ironically, former DCF Secretary George Shelton, joined Rep. Elaine Schwartz, D-Hollywood, and Rep. Barbara Watson, D-Miami Gardens, to highlight the deaths of three children that DCF was supposed to be minding. In particular, they cited the case of Tamiyah Audain, a severely handicapped 12-year-old who was starved or neglected to death while in the care of a privately run foster-care agency under DCF contract.
Secretary Jacobo hired the Casey Family Programs to review 40 child deaths. Casey's recommendations were outlined during recent legislative hearings. They include making abuse and neglect investigations seamless through computer monitoring, with no chance for an investigator or case worker to drop the ball, either during the investigation or during follow-up to ensure that steps actually are being taken to remedy at-risk children's situations.
Improvements to the DCF's ability to protect children's welfare are nothing new. This summer's crisis, after all, is just the latest such scandal to rock the agency. So some skepticism is due regarding the latest reform efforts. The proof will be in the uniform implementation of each reform and with adequate state funding to make those reforms permanent and effective. Meaning all at-risk kids on DCF's radar stay alive and do well.
In response to the Democrats' challenge, the governor's office issued a statement that child protective services won't be cut in 2014. Ms. Jacobo chimed in with assurances that she is working with the governor's office on the agency's budget and that she won't propose cuts to child welfare.
All good, if true. Kudos to the three Democratic lawmakers, mixed motives aside, for forcing Gov. Scott to promise publicly not to cut child-protection services funding. Somebody had to stand up and do it. Now Florida voters must hold Gov. Scott to his promise during the 2014 legislative session.

Why Start New Churches?
New churches are vitally important in the Body of Christ. The formation of new churches is among the most effective ways to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with people currently outside the Church. Church plants are also fertile soil for the growth of new leaders in the Church, and have even been shown to reinvigorate surrounding congregations. New churches also act as the "research and development" branch of the Church, pioneering new and creative forms of ministry and bearing fruit which nourishes the whole Body of Christ.
Why Pursue the M.Div. in Church Planting?
The M.Div. with the Church Planting Emphasis at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary provides solid theological education combined with relevant practical preparation for mission-oriented ministry. Through their coursework, students will sharpen their theological, historical, and scriptural awareness, while also learning how to communicate the love of Christ in various cultural contexts. Specialized internships provide laboratories in which students can observe, experiment, and create new forms of ministry. Participation in cohort groups with fellow students also creates a holistic learning community that provides for the spiritual formation of those who participate in the emphasis. Through all of these components, students grow in their ability to hear and respond to the Holy Spirit's direction as they go forth in mission.
Distinguishing Features of the Church Planting Emphasis
In addition to the regular requirements for Master of Divinity students, those pursuing the church planting emphasis must also complete:
- Courses in church planting and evangelism
- Concentration in gospel and culture and church leadership and ministry in selected courses
- Specialized internships respectively emphasizing observation of, participation in, and cultivation of new worshiping communities.
- Participation in a cohort with other church planting emphasis students while enrolled in the emphasis
- A short-term international experience related to church planting
Alumni Church Planters
The list of church plants started by PTS alums continues to grow. Learn more about how PTS prepared Chris Brown, coordinator of the Church Planting Initiative, for his ministry with fellow PTS alum Michael Gehrling at The Upper Room Presbyterian Church.
Other church plants led by PTS alumni include:
- Hot Metal Bridge Faith Community Led by the Rev. Jeff Eddings '08 and the Rev. Jim Walker '03, Hot Metal Bridge Faith Community is sharing God's word in Pittsburgh's South Side and beyond. Learn more. WATCH VIDEO
- The Open Door A missional church community, The Open Door serves Pittsburgh's East End and is led by the Rev. BJ Woodworth '07 (pastor) and the Rev. John Creasy '06 (associate pastor). Additionally, John is also director of the Garfield Community Farm. Learn more.
- House of Manna Located in the Homewood section of Pittsburgh, the Rev. Eugene Blackwell '05 leads the House of Manna, a faith community for everyday people. Learn more. WATCH VIDEO
The Church Planting Initiative is led by its coordinator, the Rev. Christopher Brown, a 2008 alumnus of PTS, and by the Rev. Dr. Johannes (Jannie) Swart, associate professor of world mission and evangelism. As Jannie says in the video, "The Church has an opportunity in a completely new era to participate in what God's busy doing. . . . And the fact that God is trustworthy and God is faithful in his promises, that this is his creation, makes this an exciting time for the Church to figure out what it means in times of rapid change to be the Church."

Such A Tease: Folter Clothing
Ever since she could remember, Agnes Yeygan, the Head Designer at Folter Clothing, has been striking down the walls of conventional fashion on a slow mission to rid the world of your grandmother's underwear.
"Fashion has always been a big part of my life," cites Agnes. Folter Clothing's style is playful, but has an obviously adult allure that's made it a recent favorite with celebs and the media alike. Folter Clothing has been featured in Teeze, Tattoo Savage and Prick, and has graced the bodies of scene queens Joan Jett, Kat Von D and Masuimi Max. Her clothes are a constant reflection of an ever present lolita effect in women — that naughty, but nice factor that drives good men to ruin.
Originating out of Los Angeles in 2005, Folter Clothing was a great undertaking. "Launching Folter has been the most challenging thing I've ever done and I think my greatest achievement so far," says Agnes. "I could not have done it without my husband who is the greatest business partner and really the backbone of the company." Since its inception, she hasn't allowed herself to become stifled with any set backs. "Regrets are a waste of time. I've learned so much from everything that I've done. I've learned a lot from my mistakes and from other's mistakes and that's all that matters."
She has garnered visual inspiration from numerous fashion luminaries, including the late Alexander McQueen. "Alexander McQueen is definitely on top of my list. He was a visionary and a fashion icon. Some of my other favorites are Christian Lacroix and Hussein Chalayan." It's possible these influences have helped bring forth one-of-kind pieces like the corset beater which was recently worn by an adult star to the AVN ceremonies. When Gothic Beauty asked Folter about the creativity and variety that's displayed each season, Agnes replied "It's a mix of influences from punk rock, street, Gothic, fetish, retro, pin-up, etc. I never stick to one thing and I find mixing different styles and making them your own to be the most fun. I also think that every woman wants to feel sexy, so I keep that in mind when designing. Ultimately every collection is really different. It just depends on what catches my attention that season. We love to get feedback as to how we are doing and what our customers like and dislike about what we do. We work very hard to make sure that we keep our fans happy."
Designing is a great endeavor, with each designer employing their own personal methods that sculpt the line into what each buyer will see online and on the racks. When asked what she thought was the most integral piece of the design process, she replied "I think editing is very important. There are always pieces in the collection which get cut from editing and merchandising. There are many times where I've loved the design when it was just a sketch, and by the time we got done with sampling, fitting, styling and shooting, I got bored with it. These are the ones that we remove from the collection. When we are done editing the line I make sure that only the ones we love go out into the market." Agnes continues, "Currently we offer four catalogs a year with about 80-100 styles a season. We would like to offer a full line of accessories that complement our clothes."

The Herald Bulletin
---- — ELWOOD — Brian A. Connors, 55, of Elwood, died Thursday, Sept. 5, 2013, at his residence after a courageous battle with cancer.
Born Jan. 31, 1958, in Elwood, the son of Bernard A. and Barbara Ann (Major) Connors, he worked in skilled trades for Metal Fabricators, a division of General Motors Corp. He formerly worked for Ex-Cello Corp. in Elwood. Brian was a 1976 graduate of Elwood Community High School. He spent much of his time working on his farm.

The Vancouver Whitecaps will host the English Premier League's Manchester City on July 18 as part of the World Football Challenge, the team announced on Thursday. The game is being included in the Whitecaps' season-ticket package.
"Vancouver is a great soccer city with a new MLS side and passionate supporters of the game," Manchester City Chief Executive Garry Cook said in a Whitecaps release. "We already have a history with the Whitecaps, having played them in 1980 and 1981 at Empire Stadium. They won both matches in fine style and it will be our challenge to try to overturn those results. So it promises to be a fantastic occasion."
Manchester City is currently fourth in the EPL table and are just two points behind Chelsea for the No. 3 spot, which comes with an automatic entry into the UEFA Champions League. Among the notable players on the Manchester City roster are Carlo Tevez, Patrick Vieira and David Silva.
The WFC will feature at least three MLS teams, as well as Manchester United and FC Barcelona. In past incarnations, it was played as an actual tournament, but not format has been announced as of yet.

---- — MARBLEHEAD — Great Misery Island is one of the wonders of the North Shore — a wonder that is seldom seen by the public.
Owned and managed by The Trustees of Reservations, the 83-acre island about a half-mile off the coast has trails that wind past ruins of an old resort and casino, and ocean views all the way to Boston.
It is unseen by many because access has been limited for more than a decade.
All that changed this year when The Trustees of Reservations granted an exclusive license to Sea Shuttle, a commercial cruise boat operating from the public landing in Marblehead. Endeavor, its 49-passenger catamaran, makes daily runs to the island.
The new ocean excursion was launched this month by Michael Medlock, president of Sea Station Inc., a nonprofit organization based in Salem dedicated to expanding knowledge about the ocean next door. Medlock said he plans to use profits from the island and harbor shuttle to fund his educational programs for children and families.
Sea Station is a charter business that plans to take groups on educational outings on the water. It has underwater videography capabilities and a 200-gallon aquarium on board, Medlock said.
"Ideally, he wants to run educational programming out in Salem Sound, potentially on the island," said Peter Pinciaro, deputy director of the Greater Boston/Northeast Region for The Trustees of Reservations. "We like the appeal of that."
Although it's early, Sea Station has booked two school groups this summer and will be doing educational tours during the Salem Maritime Festival in early August, according to Medlock.
"We want to put world-class educational programs out there," he said. "We want something that would make Woods Hole proud."
Medlock is on the board of Salem Sound Coastwatch, an organization working to improve the environmental quality of Salem Sound. This venture has no connection to Salem Sound Coastwatch, although they are working on closer ties.
"We look forward to developing a partnership with Sea Station to bring marine education to children and adults," said Barbara Warren, executive director of Salem Sound Coastwatch.
At the moment, Medlock is just getting started.
It took him almost two years to secure local and state approvals, many from Salem, which granted use of the Salem Willows Pier, which was damaged in a storm, forcing Medlock to shift to the public dock in Marblehead.
In its first two weeks of operation, Sea Shuttle trips have been hampered by the weather and the delayed start of an online reservation system at www.sea-shuttle.com.
Although Sea Shuttle is the entertainment side of the enterprise, Medlock hopes it will take off so that his educational endeavors can succeed.
The ultimate goal, he said, is "about understanding the treasure we have in our backyard and taking care of it ... And if you can't get out there and see if, it's hard to understand it and impossible to take care of it."

the guy is extremely pathetic as a commentator. waaay too biased. it's almost sad. maybe someone should tell him to lay off the weed and he wouldn't be so homotional. he has to go.
either that or give us the option to watch without commentary and just the ring and crowd noise. that is even better than being at the fight imo.

The thng is though if HBO seriously gets rid of Lamply, what's to stop another HBO pom-pom shaking commentator from taking his place? For the last 15 years or so, I believe that HBO had a agenda, I would suspect, started by Ross Greenberg where they wanted to build "stars." That's why they "went Ga-Ga " even when Roy Jones fought a school teacher or garbageman. I believe that Mr. Greenberg saw the fighter as the star himself and that was more important than the most two-sided competitive fights. The most two-sided competitive fights were due to Lou Dibella's brain-trust at the network with the development of the HBO ORIGINAL Boxing After Dark Series that all but guaranteed thrilling matches that were by all accounts, jaw-dropping amazing.
Lou Dibella is a boxing man. Ross Greenberg is a business man, and somewhere between Lou leaving HBO the network gradually transcended into "build a star" against C+ competition and establish long term relationship promotional contracts with the promoter allowing the HBO fighter to do what he wanted, when he wanted, and how he wanted. In Lamply's defense, the pom-pom shaking was not all his fault. It was a bi-product of the system.
If Jim was under a knowledgeable boxing department at HBO, he could be "reeled in." and I would be happy if he stayed. However, Dibella isn't there anymore, and even Ross Greenberg who started the "build a star" against C grade fighters is now over at Showtime thanks to the Mayweather deal.
Jim represents the bigger problem of HBO, who has a pom-pom shaking agenda for the star fighter, regardless of opposition. Remember, early Jim Lamply was not like that. He could have changed, but political and personnel changes in the shell of what used to be a great boxing department, in addition to Jim's advancing age, have basically forced him into a "build a star" mode at HBO for the rest of his tenure with them. Max Kellerman will just become the new pom-pom shaker when Jim retires from HBO.
In thinking about this more, it's not Jim that is so much the problem, it's the business management system at HBO with how fighters are promoted and marketed in the present day.

A group of boys have targeted and isolated another boy. The one is out numbered and in danger, a beating has been threatened. Another young man feeling he must aid his friend foolishly steps in using a weapon to even the odds.
Sounds like a scene from Westside Story, boys are primal.

I don't believe in astrology and I laugh openly at people who claim to have ESP or the ability to communicate with the dead; but in certain cases I believe that it's possible to predict someone's future.
on Sep 18, 2011 at 1:46 am
I agree with Mike. Garbage in, garbage out. Based upon our predictive capacities, we should imprison certain kinds of kids, from certain backgrounds, before they even commit any crime. The crime of one's past milieu is often sufficient enough to make any such determination.
on Sep 18, 2011 at 4:00 am
I'm afraid you misunderstood my point.
I was not arguing that one's past milieu serves as a predictor of one's future. I was arguing that certain behaviors may serve as a predictor of one's future.

Plenty of people from disadvantaged backgrounds do very well, making milieu more complex as a predictor than anti-social behavior.

From the Office of the Governor of Alabama:
Governor Robert Bentley on Tuesday announced the timeline for a special election to fill the vacant District 31 seat in the Alabama House of Representatives.
The District 31 seat was previously held by Representative Barry Mask, who resigned from the position effective September 30. District 31 covers portions of Coosa and Elmore Counties. According to the election timeline released on Tuesday:
"This election timeline is designed to have a representative in place as soon as possible," Governor Bentley said.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Shorter College in North Little Rock is undergoing a rebirth after 127 years.
The historically black, 2-year college is to hold its first graduation exercise in 10 years. The 11 a.m. Saturday ceremony will also be the first commencement since the college's reaccreditation candidacy.
The college says its first candidate for graduation will be Willhelm Cedric Hawkins, who will get an associate of arts degree. Hawkins is a married father of 7 children and he has a 3.5 grade point average. New Shorter College President Jerome Green says the school now has 300 students and has met requirements to be considered for reaccreditation.
Shorter was founded by the African Methodist Episcopal Church in 1886 for former slaves and African-Americans who didn't have access to public education.

If you start with an open hand and close a finger for each time you can recall hearing the Boston Redevelopment Authority's name spoken in scorn, we suspect that you'll end the exercise with a fist—perhaps a tightly clenched one.
The agency's rules can frustrate developers and designers, and its decisions often seem arcane and opaque to Beacon Hill residents.
But the Authority tries to be open, according to Heather Campisano, the authority's Deputy Director for Development Review. As an example, she outlined in a conversation with Patch how the BRA handles input from the public on projects larger than 50,000 square feet.
Major steps:
- The developer proposes the project.
- The BRA distributes the proposal to city agencies.
- The developer is encouraged to present the project before community groups. In Beacon Hill, that would generally be the Beacon Hill Civic Association.
- The project is posted online for a 30-day comment period—To find projects that currently have an open comment period, go to bostonredevelopmentauthority.org and click on the "text" link under the "development" header. Use the drop-down to limit the query to "under review" some (thought not all) of those projects will be in their comment period.
- The BRA seeks nominations for an "impact advisory group" composed of interested residents, business owners and representatives of community groups. This group will evaluate how the project negatively impacts the area and suggest ways to mitigate that impact.
- The BRA holds "scoping sessions" for the project, where BRA staff and the developer assess how the project is likely to impact the area. The advisory group is encouraged to attend these sessions.
- The advisory group makes it recommendations.
- Informed by advisory group and public input, BRA staff craft an agreement with the developer.
- The project goes before the BRA board of directors in a public hearing.
- Should the board approve the project, the advisory group has 15 days to review the final agreement.
- In some cases, the project goes before the zoning or appeals board for additional public hearings.
To find out about the BRA's meeting schedule, go to bostonredevelopmentauthority.org and check the "events" box. To keep up with BRA news, go to the authority's blog at bostonredevelopmentauthoritynews.org.

As Stubbenkammer the immediate environment of the striking
chalk rock king chair Jasmund on the island of Ruegen is
called. The few buildings in this area, including the National
Park Centre Königstuhl form the district of the city
Stubbenkammer Sassnitz. The name Stubbenkammer derived from the
Slavic: Stopin stands for stage and came to rock.
In particular, the highest chalk cliff situated here-lots of
Ruegen be called that. There is a distinction between the Great
and Little Stubbenkammer. The Great Stubbenkammer includes the
118-meter high chair king himself directly adjacent to the
north and Cretaceous rock formations, including the intervening
ravine. The Small Stubbenkammer is the chair of King south to
chalk wall with the Victoria-term viewpoint, which in 1865 was
during a visit by the then King of Prussia, Wilhelm I and the
Crown Princess Victoria (his daughter), so named. Further
south, close to the shore and the High Kollicker bank, but no
longer belong to Stubbenkammer.
Stubbenkammer is three kilometers away from the large parking
lot in Hagen - a hamlet in the town Lohme - best reached by
shuttle bus or on a hiking trail, which passes through the
forest of Stubnitz also at Hertha. A high riverside walk leads
from seven kilometers away Sassnitz on the Wissower latches
along the Ernst-Moritz-Arndt-view, the Kieler Bach with the
Convention therein Auguste-Viktoria-view and the Kollicker
place after Stubbenkammer and from here, four kilometers away
situated along the northern coast Jasmund Lohme.

Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)
And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.
Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.
Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!
Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.
But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.
Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.
And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.
