After the 2011 Mouse River Flood, the Federal Emergency Management Agency responded with 2,043 temporary housing units.
That number has dwindled to 158 FEMA trailers on only one group site east of Minot.
But that number has come to a stand still.
Many of the FEMA renters remaining were apartment renters just before the flood.
As Jennifer Thorgramson tells us, some residents feel their options have been limited, and now time is running out.
From the very beginning, to the 55th Street FEMA park height of just over two-thousand temporary housing units in 2012, to now.
Since the 2011 Mouse River flood, renters have been and are continuing to struggle.
(Wesley Hoff, Minot Resident) "We really have been forgotten. All the stuff that's been going on, all of us that are left, they really haven't helped us. We are the poor people I'm sure. Why have we been forgotten?"
Hoff is one of just over 150 residents renting from FEMA.
(Wesley Hoff, Minot Resident) "It's hard to find a place. It's been a long, long, long journey."
As part of the agreement with FEMA, he is still looking for a new place to rent in town, often paying repeated application fees for limited options.
(Wesley Hoff, Minot Resident) "Each time you get turned down, you have to go find another place and these people expect you to do this."
And he's not without change at the FEMA park on 55th.
Future plans for the park have required him to move to different temporary housing units three times.
(Wesley Hoff, Minot Resident) "I would like to get back to my life and get on with it! That's all I've ever wanted. It's one thing after another and when you're moving all the time, I'm pretty much flat broke."
FEMA spokesperson Brian Hvinden says about 75 units have been sold to the residents of the THUs.
And the 158 people still renting from FEMA are facing the September 24th deadline.
At that time, the care of the park on 55th will be turned over to First Minot Management.
(Danelle Zietz, Wheatland Village Property Manager) "This is such a great opportunity for the people that are out there. A lot of these people never thought that they'd own their home and with the Bank of North Dakota funding this, I deal with people every day that never thought they'd own their home and they are so proud and so excited to be able to have something to call their own. A home that they never thought they'd own. It's a good thing."
But for those who can't afford the new-normal rent prices in town, and are unable to buy the trailer, the deadline still has unanswered questions, and the two years of questions for flooded former renters continue.
In Minot, Jennifer Thorgramson, KX News.
FEMA is working with the Minot Housing Authority to possibly donate the remaining trailers.
But Minot Housing Authority executive director Tom Pearson says that would require residents to go through criminal background checks and no existing debt with Minot Housing Authority.

Enraged Islamists pushed back against the toppling of President Mohammed Morsi, as tens of thousands of his supporters marched in Cairo on Friday, July 5, 2013 to demand his reinstatement and attacked his opponents. Nighttime clashes raged with stone-throwing, firecrackers and gunfire, and military armored vehicles raced across a Nile River bridge in a counterassault on Morsi's supporters. Mayhem nationwide left at least 10 people dead and 210 wounded as Morsi supporters stormed government buildings, vowing to reverse the military's removal of the country's first freely elected president. Among the dead were four killed when troops opened fire on a peaceful march by Islamists on the Republican Guard headquarters.
Egypt's military announced on Wednesday, July 3 that it has suspended the Islamist-backed constitution and called early elections, replacing President Mohammed Morsi with the chief justice of the Supreme constitutional Court.

(WMC-TV) – Relaxed school lice policies are bugging some Mid-South parents. As a parent, you may no longer be informed when there is lice in your child's classroom.
Most parents would consider head lice an extreme aggravation. Not only do kids pass it along at school, but it can be passed onto siblings, too.
Now, some parents worry that more relaxed policies will make it even easier for lice to spread.
School districts around the country and in Tennessee are implementing new policies. If a student gets head lice, they will now be allowed to stay in the classroom and other parents will not be notified that a student has lice.
It is a policy that the district says complies with guidelines of both the Tennessee Department of Education and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which means other districts could follow suit.
In Desoto County, there is a no hard rule. If lice is found, each student in the classroom is checked and the student with lice is only cleared to return when lice and nits are gone and with proof of treatment.
Shelby County students cannot return to class until lice are gone and treatment has been completed.
If you are not sure about your schools lice policy, it is easy to find out. Most of the time, school district policies can be searched on the Internet.

Most famously celebrated by Princeton University, Pi Day became a national event in 2009 when the House of Representatives officially recognized it through Resolution 224. The goal of Pi Day is to increase math understanding among the American public.
Math faculty will kick off Caldwell University's celebration on Pi Day Eve, March 13 at 11:00am in the Library lobby.

DIETERICH — With just 11 men on the roster, the Dieterich Movin' Maroons will have to get good starting pitching on a consistent basis to stay in games.
Luckily for them, they return their three top starters from the 2013 spring campaign as their season kicked off today with a trip to Noble.
Dieterich coach Jamie VanSycoc said it'll come down to scoring for senior pitchers Tanner Traub and Jake Bohnhoff and junior Alex Bohnhoff.
"I look for us to be in most games," he said. "Alex and Tanner are going to throw all of our conference games. One of the major areas of concern this year is going to be run support.
"We're more of a contact team, it's going to be a challenge for us to score runs sometimes."
Dieterich also graduated three seniors in Brandon Westjohn, Chris Lidy and Garrett Einhorn. Westjohn and Einhorn had some pop, an area that the Maroons will sorely miss.
In addition to counting on them in the pitching staff, VanSycoc said the Bohnhoffs and Traub will have to pace the offense at the top of the lineup and get on base often for the middle of the order.
VanSycoc is counting on a number of starters to step up into new roles, including juniors Reed Shoemaker and Marshall Mellendorf. He's also expecting a bright spot out of the sophomore class.
"Sophomore Trenton Poe, we're looking for big things out of him offensively," he said of last year's starting catcher.
Cole Hartke is expected to step into the middle of the lineup after finishing the 2013 spring season swinging a hot bat. Clayton Campton will also move into a more regular role on the offensive and defensive sides of the ball.
"He started a majority of our games last year, depending on who was pitching," VanSycoc said. "We're looking for him to perform this year."

Social media website for lifehacks
Lifehacks seem to be getting quite popular, and I think that the ability to share and find ideas on how to improve everyday life is one of the great things about the internet.
Presently, lifehacks are mostly distributet by dedicated authors who create content for websites dedicated to lifehacks, and some are posted by users in social media networks such as reddit, 9gag, etc.
What's missing though is a social media platform dedicated to sharing lifehacks, with the ability to post, rate and comment lifehacks, and to browse/search them by category, rating and date. I think that kind of website could be as entertaining and addictive as 9gag, kickstarter etc., AND would provide high quality content, because it's not determined by professional authors and commercial interests, but by user rating.
What do you guys think? And do you know any websites that offer this sort of thing?

Immense imagination courses densely through the cores of Pheobe and Annette Stephens, two visionary sisters who grew up surrounded by artists in Mexico City. Their grandmother was a painter, sculptor and jeweler whose work was collected by Frida Kahlo, Anaïs Nin, Helena Rubinstein and Peggy Guggenheim, and whose eclecticism left an indelible mark on her two beguiling granddaughters. The sisters collaborate on Anndra Neen, a jewelry line that is hand-crafted in their native Mexico. It's inspired by the strangely beautiful, and their New York City atelier is filled with the arresting artwork of assorted family members alongside 200-year-old artifacts, talisman and spiritually-dense ephemera. |ABOVE| Annette (in foreground) wears an Anndra Neen necklace, Donna Karan sweater, and Tome dress // Phoebe wears stacked Anndra Neen bangles (HERE and HERE) with a Carolina Herrera top layered over a Wes Gordon tulle tank, Donna Karan skirt and Christian Louboutin shoesThe collection is infused with that distinctively Latin American blend of power and sensuality, and the pieces themselves are like wearable sculptures for seductive warriors. Jewelry lore idolizes the idea of bijoux being bought for a woman. But Phoebe and Annette get excited when a woman buys a piece for herself, as it represents a romance with herself. This idea of self-celebration and feminine empowerment is integral to their work.|ABOVE| Phoebe wears two Anndra Neen necklaces with a White + Warren sweater and Celestino ball gown // Annette wears a Celestino cape and gown with an Anndra Neen necklace and Donna Karan sweaterPhoebe and Annette share an indefatigable work ethic and an insatiable wanderlust, and it was on a trip to Japan ~ during which the sisters immersed themselves in the world of Wabi-sabi ~ that they decided to start a line together. Travel continues to shape their work, and they cite destinations like Southeast Asia, Africa, and even the sedimentary gradations of Arizona's mountain ranges as influences in the pieces. |ABOVE| Cage motifs are the house's best-recognized signature, covering everything from cuffs to clutches Working with a combination of sterling silver and mixed metals, Anndra Neen continuously pushes boundaries. For an installation in Hong Kong the designers enlarged their pieces to five times their size, exhibiting the jewelry as sculpture. They've collaborated with Matthew Ames and have been worn by Michelle Obama. In crafting each collection, Pheobe and Annette are manifesting a truly unique sensibility that honors their creative, familial, and cultural legacy. They believe in the totemic power of objects that are lovingly handmade and passed down over generations. Like so many of us, they yearn to return to a definition of luxury that is enduring and personal, in which you can sense the artisan's thumbprint in every piece. |BELOW| Phoebe wears an Anndra Neen necklace with a Bellavance robe and Lover pants // Annette wears an Anndra Neen necklace with a Tome caftan |PHOTOGRAPHY| by Zachary Lynd and Kelly Framel |STYLING| by Kelly Framel

Advice for Bhujapidasana
�Richard Wyatt, Bridport, Vermont
John Friend's reply:
In Bhujapidasana, you balance on the hands with the legs wrapped around your upper arms and the feet crossed in front of your torso. First, you must fully stretch your hamstrings, so that you can bend deeply forward between your legs in a bent-legged Uttanasana (Standing Forward Bend). (The closer you can get your legs to your shoulders�which requires a good amount of hamstring flexibility�the easier Bhujapidasana is to perform.)
To most effectively and safely stretch the hamstrings, keep your leg muscles engaged and toned while you stretch. If necessary, isometrically draw the feet backward in order to help you engage the hamstrings. Some basic poses that will help you work on the hamstrings in this way include Uttanasana, Adho Mukha Svanasana, Utthita Trikonasana, Parsvottanasana, and Supta Padangusthasana.
Also, to be able to bend deeply forward in preparation for Bhujapidasana, you must open up the hips. Most yoga students think of hip-openers as poses that help stretch the inner thighs and externally rotate the legs. However, another aspect of hip-openers�particularly important for this pose�is to internally rotate the legs, drawing the upper, inner thighs backward and widening the thighs and pelvis.
Another clue to optimally performing Bhujapidasana is hidden in its name. "Bhuja" means "arm" or "shoulder," and "pida" means "pressure." When you are in the pose, you want to actively hug or squeeze your legs against your arms into the midline. With your feet crossed at the ankles, enthusiastically spread your toes, especially your little toes. This will help draw your shins and thighs in toward the midline, which will translate into lightness in the pose. In order to create further lightness, draw your heels and your tailbone toward each other.
The more you squeeze the legs into the midline and against the arms, the lighter and easier the pose becomes. In addition, use your breath to help you fill in your back body, especially around the waistline or kidney region. The more the kidney area can puff up with your breath, the more laghima (lightness) you will create in the pose.
Finally, cultivate a playful attitude. Although at first you might not be able to perform the pose without a great deal of effort, every attempt makes a lasting impression in the energetics of your mind-body. So, dedicate yourself to regular practice of this pose with the above alignment tips, and you will soon experience a new level of self-empowerment.
This month's expert, John Friend, is the founder of Anusara Yoga, which combines the celebration of the heart, the art of inner body awareness, and the science of universal principles of alignment.

1. The defense: I thought they played pretty well without Troy. They only gave up 1 TD. Brian Schottenheimer called a great game in my opinion. Quick passes to keep us off Sanchez, good mix of run vs. pass, etc. I'm wondering what's up with Timmons. He has been average for the past few weeks.
2. The offense: O line was strong. Ben didn't get hit a lot and he usually had plenty of time to throw. Also, they picked up the blitz pretty well. Chris K blew some people up, Hotel was Hotel, Foster was solid, ground game was good. Mendy ran well. Sanders had a good game. Something I found confusing (besides the run to Memo in the end zone) was not going deep to Wallace. They tried it early twice (Wallace was held once with no call) and it was clear that Cromartie couldn't keep up with Wallace. I thought to myself, we are going to go deep at least 5 times and get one for sure. Nope, never went back to it. Amazing......
3. Special teams: Have been rocky lately and it was the difference today. Not just the TD return. We cannot punt the ball inside the 10...ever. But somehow everyone else does it to us. This drives me crazy. I would love to go back and look at the avereage starts of each O...we got clobbered here I think. Oh and so many of us have been calling for Crez Butler to get a helmet (I sure have) but I'm pretty sure that was Butler who missed his lane and on the TD return. Think that was him who missed a big tackle on punt coverage too. Also, I keep waiting for Brown to get a good return in but not much happening for him. Kickoffs are short too. When is SS going to miss a FG? Probably in the playoffs!
4. Heath: we missed him. Spaeth had what? 4 drops? Plus, not only did he drop the winning TD but it wasn't going to him in the back of the end zone. Clutch defensive play Matt!
5. Redman: why does he not get the ball more? Ed Bouchette feels the same way.
6. Red Zone O: OK, a couple of TD's. However, they just seem out of sorts inside the 15. Ben was right when he asked for a tall receiver. Too bad Limas hasn't worked out. They don't have a guy who can go get jump balls. This hurts because without that and having smallish receivers you need creativity on play calling and that BA can't do.
7. Refs: God I hate to moan and groan but c'mon! I will even give them the Clark flag. He didn't hit his head but he "launched" so...ok. But, I have seen our corners get many questionable holding and/or interference calls just like the ones against Wallace and Sanders. So many calls we get against us are, in my opinion, close calls. Offensive holdings, late hits to the QB, pass int's, etc. I watch the replay and think...could have gone either way. My problem is that it really seems like this year they go against us...whether the flag is on us or not called on the other team. My boys are 12 and 10 and they scream at the TV every Sunday about the penalties. So damn frustrating.
I predicted a 12-4 record and we seem to be going there. I can't see a let down in the next 2 games with everything that will be on the line. I see a 2nd round matchup with the Jets so maybe that's why Dad was playing vanilla D? Didn't want to show his stuff knowing we could absorb a loss and still get to the 2 seed. Heath, Troy and Aaron get healthy......

Kansas-Nebraska Act
Congress passed the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which overturned the Missouri Compromise. This opened Kansas and Nebraska to white settlement and allowed popular sovereignty to determine slave- or free-state status in territories seeking statehood. The act destroyed the Whig Party, divided the Democratic Party, and prompted the creation the Republican Party. The author of this legislation was Senator Stephen A. Douglas, who had pushed the Compromise of 1850 through Congress. As chairman of the Senate Committee on Territories, Douglas had proposed...

36°30′ line
The 36°30′ line was the latitude designated by the Missouri Compromise of 1820 as the boundary between free and slave territory in the Louisiana Purchase. In the Compromise, Missouri was admitted to the Union as a slave state, and slavery was banned in the rest of the Louisiana Purchase north of the 36°30′ line. That boundary became meaningless, however, when the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 repealed the Compromise and employed popular sovereignty in determining slave or free status in the territory.

In the last two weeks I have encountered a "Lamp Defective" message a few times. The message is intermitant. It comes on when I engage the brakes. After I shut off the car for a few minutes the message may not appear again for several times of running. Then a few days later the message appears again. Bad bulb? Why would it be intermittent? Bad connection? I have removed and reinstalled both stop light bulbs. When I am at home all stop light bulbs work. Suggestions?
When the message comes out again, have someone step on the brakes so you can inspect which side is not working while the engine is running or the key in the #2 position. Use fine sand paper on both bulb socket contacts and tail light housing contacts and put a small amount of contact greese.
If that doesn't fix it go to the diesel page and someone has posted the part number for the bulb socket a while back.
Vern, check for a flat spot on the base of the lamps. It looks like someone filed the base at an angle. If that's the case simply install new Osram/Sylvania lamps. I've experienced this phenomenon in our 124 cars.
Various forums have reported this problem with the W210's. On my car I found the base in the tail light assembly was defective. When I backed off the socket that holds the bulb a few degrees of rotation the problem went away (the bulb fits into a separate socket that bayonets into the lens assembly on the W210). Someday I will get a new lens assembly.
Same thing with me. Every couple of years I get that lamp defective message too. Have to rotate the offending brake light bulb until I find the sweet spot and then I'm good to go again.

By ANN KEIL6 News Reporter
OAK RIDGE (WATE) -- Scientists and engineers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory are investing time and money into project that could produce cleaner and more fuel-efficient cars, as U.S. automakers struggle financially.
As 6 News reported two weeks ago, President Obama has given automakers until 2016 to conform to strict national standards for fuel efficiency to save energy and protect the climate.
"What you're looking at is a dynamometer, which is a treadmill for cars," says Tim Theiss, a manager at Fuels, Engines and Emissions Research Center.
Theiss points out a Dodge Charger scientists are using to test kits meant to covert regular car engines to run on ethanol. Most of that information is coming right out of the pipes.
"All the equipment you're seeing around us allows us to measure normal pollutants and the unregulated pollutants that maybe more toxic," Theiss says.
Not only is ORNL's research aimed at improving biofuels and reducing emissions, scientists are advancing engines, developing hybrids and creating cost-effective, environmentally sound materials that will help create the cars of the future.
"It's not going to be easy. We don't have one single solution so we have to work on a suite of technologies," says Richard Boeman, director of the Transportation Program at ORNL.
Inside one of the numerous labs, scientists are trying to develop a material to be used for car parts that's as strong as steel. but much lighter in weights so the vehicle can be more fuel efficient.
With much of the U.S. auto industry in the red, Boeman says ORNL plays an even greater role in its partnerships with car and gas companies.
Boeman says much of the technology being tested in ORNL's labs could produce cars that far surpass President Obama's terms, which raise the average fuel economy standards for cars and trucks by 2016.
Under the changes, the overall fleet average would have to be 35.5 mpg by 2016, with cars reaching 39 mpg and light trucks hitting 30 mpg.
"We are the largest funded program within the DOE system and we have seen boosts in our funding," says Boeman.
While he admits some technologies might take years to develop, Boeman says small advances under the hood have been adding up and will ultimately help develop cars Americans want and need.
If President Obama's proposal works it would save close to 2 billion barrels of oil over the lifetime of the vehicles sold in the next five years.
It would be similar to removing 177 million cars from the roads over the next six-and-a-half years.
Before the proposal, automakers were dealing with a patchwork of state laws.
In Tennessee, there are no state laws governing vehicle emissions. They vary by county.

Bowe concludes dizzying fantasy season with a bang
Dwayne Bowe owners were forced to ride a rollercoaster of emotions this season as their guy was all over the map. In the end, though, everything turned out OK.

The transition has taken some time, and D'Imperio often looked raw and unsure of himself in the role during the preseason. Tight end Jim Kleinsasser has been getting the bulk of the playing time as Adrian Peterson's lead blocker. D'Imperio could spell him on occasion and contribute on special teams if he is activated.

A township Department of Public Works truck rolled in reverse into a condominium and air conditioning unit as a worker checked a meter at a sewer lift station on July 15.
The township's insurance paid for the depreciated value of the 10-year-old air conditioning unit, leaving the township to pay $795 from its General Fund to cover the difference.
Township Manager Bill Cargo said they replaced the air conditioning unit immediately without waiting for an insurance adjustor "for good customer service" because of the heat wave at the time, and also because the condo resident had guests. He said the unit was replaced within five hours after the incident.
Cargo said the township truck either wasn't in park or slipped out of park when the employee left the vehicle.
"It was a human error," he said.
The condominium unit and township service truck received minor damages, but Cargo said it won't impact the township's insurance rate because it's covered under general liability insurance.
"This is pretty unique and unusual," he said.
Cargo said the employee underwent drug and alcohol testing to make sure there weren't any hidden reasons for the crash.
During a recent Township Board work session, Township Public Services Director Mark VerBermoes said the worker was upset over the incident.
To prevent such incidents from occurring in the future, Township Administrative Services Director Suzanne Proksa said the public works crew is considering turning vehicles off when employees stop to check meters.

Hollywood, Fl — Patrick Kenneth Mason, 63, son of John Francis Mason and Mary Theresa Pappalardo, took his last breath at home in the presence of his loving and devoted wife, Lorraine Dawn (Palka) Mason, and daughters Sara (Mason) Anton and Kayla Mason, at 12:40 a.m., on January 9, 2014. He is also survived by son-in-law, Paul Anton; grandson, Nathan Anton; and sister-in-law, Iris Engel. Pat was born in Lawrence, Mass., on St. Patrick's Day, 1950, and was the third child of four. He is survived by his sister, Carolyn Desrochers and husband, Ronald, of Methuen, Mass.; and nephews, Stephen and Kevin; brother, John Michael Mason from New Hampshire; and younger sister, Kathleen Mason, who predeceased him in 2001; and nieces and nephew Jillian, Alexandria and Jay Capello of Massachusetts.
Pat graduated from Lawrence Technical School in 1969, specializing in Culinary Arts. After graduation, he enlisted in the Army and served one year in Vietnam. The VA recognizes pancreatic cancer as a direct link to Agent Orange, therefore affirming that he gave his life for his country. He was proud of his service, but refused the honor of being called a hero. In his words, "I'm just a regular guy, who tried to do his best in everything and treat people honestly and respectfully." In 1977, he met the love of his life and married in April 1979. They shared a rare and special love as they raised their two girls. Pat had worked for the City of Pembroke Pines since 1980 as an auto technician and was known for his integrity. He was respected for his willingness to help and kind disposition. His wife affectionately describes him as "My big strong man, my sweet, sweet Pat with his wild and curly unruly hair, his twinkling laughing green eyes that entranced me from the moment we met." Pat bravely fought cancer for 7 months. He will be very sorely missed. Rest in Peace Pat, so many people loved you!
ARRANGEMENTS: Pat will be cremated by Fred Hunter Funeral Home. A memorial service will be held on Friday evening, January 17, at 7 p.m., at Luther Memorial, 1925 North State Rd. 7, Hollywood, Fla. In lieu of flowers, donations to the research of pancreatic cancer would be greatly appreciated.
Please visit www.fredhunters.com to leave a message of condolence for the family.

The Law School maintains strong links with the professional world, through our network of alumni and contacts in the barristers' and solicitors' professions. These links allow us to put on a series of law careers events throughout the academic year.
Each autumn, the University hosts the Law Fair, in which we welcome over 50 law firms, including some of the largest law firms in the world, to the University's Great Hall. The attendees represent law firms of all sizes and most areas of practice.
The Law School also organises "Law in Practice" seminars, in which practitioners explain to students how the area of law relevant to a specific module works in practice. These are invaluable opportunities for students to enhance their studies, and enable them to improve their commercial awareness.
In June each year, the Law School hosts "Employability Fortnight", after the end of the examinations period in the summer term. The events which run in this fortnight have included an Applications Process Panel Session, a Midlands Circuit Court Visit followed by an Inner Temple Drinks Reception in the evening, an Alternative Dispute Resolution Workshop by Herbert Smith, and dedicated Careers Advice Drop-in Sessions.
The Careers Network organises regular events including presentations by top law firms and the annual Law Fair.

Some Saturday morning Mets 'sauciness, plus a suggestion. I know the offseason is now in (mostly) full swing and everyone is kicking around trade proposals in their heads (and in the FanPosts), but I'd urge you all not to give away your milk for free because we'll be running another Amazin' Avenue Offseason Plan Contest this year so if you use up all of your good ideas now then you'll have nothing left with which to buttress your overall winter blueprint.
Now the links.
- The Mets deadline to negotiate with Hisanori Takahashi has been extended to Friday, November 5, giving them a bit more time to work out a deal to bring back their most versatile pitcher from 2010.
- Anthony DiComo, Mets beat writer for MLB.com, is reporting that Wally Backman is already on the list of candidates the Mets are considering for their managerial vacancy.
- Bob Klapisch goes one step further by saying Backman will be in for an interview next week and that Backman was actually on the list of potential candidates Alderson provided to ownership during the interview process.
- Also in that last article, Klapisch says assertively that, "Alderson will start by hiring Paul DePodesta". It's not clear if Klapisch has inside information or if he's just echoing what we've all heard, which is that Alderson is interested in bringing DePodesta to the Mets.
- In national news, Joe Morgan and Jon Miller might not be back on ESPN next year. Their respective deals expire after the World Series so there's a chance their reign of error may be coming to an end.
- At Lookout Landing, Jeff Sullivan compares this offseason's pitching and hitting of players with and without any previous playoff experience to help dispel the myth that "playoff experience" is a prerequisite for playoff success.
- At Beyond The Boxscore, Justin Bopp uses some sweet graphical wizardry to show the inning-by-inning game scores for the World Series Game 2 matchup between Matt Cain and C.J. Wilson.

World Cup Insider: England announce their World Cup squad numbers
Updated 5:50pm Thursday 22nd May 2014 in Sport
ENGLAND'S squad numbers for this summer's World Cup have been confirmed, with Frank Lampard retaining his favoured number eight shirt despite being unlikely to make Roy Hodgson's starting line-up.
Skipper Steven Gerrard will wear the number four jersey, with Daniel Sturridge handed number nine and Wayne Rooney lining up in number ten.
Joe Hart's seniority was confirmed when he was awarded the number one top, while Jack Wilshere's selection at number seven suggests he could be favourite to start alongside Gerrard at the heart of England's first-choice midfield.
Wearsider Jordan Henderson is England's number 14 for this summer's tournament, with Northumberland's Fraser Forster selected as 22.
Roy Hodgson's squad, who are currently at a training camp in Portugal, will play their opening warm-up game against Peru at Wembley next Friday.
England squad numbers: 1. Joe Hart, 2. Glen Johnson, 3. Leighton Baines, 4. Steven Gerrard, 5. Gary Cahill, 6. Phil Jagielka, 7. Jack Wilshere, 8. Frank Lampard, 9. Daniel Sturridge, 10. Wayne Rooney, 11. Danny Welbeck, 12. Chris Smalling, 13. Ben Foster, 14. Jordan Henderson, 15. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, 16. Phil Jones, 17. James Milner, 18. Rickie Lambert, 19. Raheem Sterling, 20. Adam Lallana, 21. Ross Barkley, 22. Fraser Forster, 23. Luke Shaw.
ARGENTINA have axed former Chelsea and Wigan Athletic striker Franco Di Santo from their provisional World Cup squad.
Alejandro Sabella has trimmed his initial 30-man group down to 26, with Getafe defender Lisandro Lopez, River Plate full-back Gabriel Mercardo and Catania midfielder Fabian Rinaudo also missing out.
Sabella will announce his final 23-man squad for the finals on June 2, and is currently sweating on the availability of three key players.
Midfielders Fernando Gaga, Augusto Fernandez and Angel Di Maria are all hoping to shake off injuries in order to be involved in Brazil.
EMMANUEL ADEBAYOR has tipped Nigeria to be the most successful African side at the World Cup finals, and claimed Ivory Coast's "lack of togetherness" could hold them back.
Adebayor, whose Togo side failed to qualify for Brazil, said: "Out of the (African) teams, (my choice) would be Nigeria because of their concentration. Because of Stephen Keshi – he knows a lot about football and everything. And they have got Victor Moses, who is a great friend of mine, and I like the way he plays."
However, the Tottenham striker does not have such a high opinion of Ivory Coast, despite the presence of the likes of Yaya Toure, Didier Drogba and Wilfried Bony.
He said: "I never trust them. They are the country that will always let you down. How come for the last four or five years, they have not won the African Cup of Nations? Are they going to be collective enough? I don't know."

MACOMB, Ill. (WGEM) -- Two suspected gun thieves were arrested in Macomb after a high speed chase and an all night search.
Shawn Banks, 34, and 32-year-old Christopher Bigsby reportedly sped away in a van from McDonough County Sheriff's deputies around midnight.
The van stopped on a rural road near Spring Lake, where authorities arrested Banks after a foot chase.
A helicopter was brought in to help search for Bigsby, who ran into a cornfield. He was found around 7 a.m. at a house in Macomb.
Both men are charged with residential burglary, possession of firearms by a felon, and resisting arrest. Bigsby faces an additional charge of aggravated fleeing and eluding police.
McDonough Co. Sheriff's Office says more charges are pending.

Temperature Tips
In Australia (and particularly in parts of Australia where we have extreme temperatures in Summer) the logistics of delivery and making sure orders survive the trip okay in the hot months can be difficult. The photo above is a cupcake tower I put together for New Years Eve, and anyone in South Eastern Aus knows it was pretty warm that day… 38 in fact!
Buttercream icing and anything with chocolate tends to get sad after 27 degrees, so what are the steps you can take to make sure everything arrives in the same condition it left in?
Your transport – Let's face it, not everyone has the dollars for refrigerated trucks and transport, so the most of us are limited to some car airconditioning, which is more than fine.
In your car, before you leave:
- Put up sunshades – will help block heat!
- Leave windows open so the car can circulate air. If you leave them closed and hop in on a 35 degree day, it will be hotter inside than if you leave the windows open a little.
- About 5 minutes before departure, turn the car on and blast the aircon. Leave the windows open a little still to help with circulation.
- Point the fans of the air con directly onto where the cake/cupcakes will go. Usually this is the passenger seat or floor area.
Pre-cooling – Having everything a little cooler before you set out helps as well. With the giant cupcake, I had it in the fridge for nearly two hours before leaving. There was a time period of 3-4 hours between taking it out of the fridge and serving, so this was more than enough time for it to come back to a good serving temperature.
The cupcakes in boxes propped open slightly were under an air conditioner on a trestle table to keep them cool – the giant cupcake takes up too much space to put everything in my fridge together.
Ingredients – Your cake (and fondant) will be fine, but the problem can lie in your filling and icings!
In Buttercream you would normally use (for the simple version) one part unsalted butter and two parts icing sugar. Well, butter needs to be softened to make the buttercream in the first place so that presents issues straight away. We can substitute some of the butter for other ingredients to help the buttercream keep its shape and to stop from splitting (and leaking, it is not nice at all).
Some bakery supply stores sell creme or bakers shortening, this is also what you can use – that usually doesn't need to be melted down like Copha but Copha is a little more easily accessible for everyone playing at home!
Copha – Most supermarkets sell Copha or a variation of it. It's in a 250g block right near the butter, usually on a top shelf with all the cooking oils, and it is a vegetable shortening. To use it, you can substitute up to 50% of the butter for Copha, the amount you substitute is up to you. In most American buttercream and icing recipes they actually use vegetable fat or creme shortening as 100% of their butter amount in the icings which can leave a filmy mouthfeel, which is why we try to keep at least 50% of the butter in for a nice taste! I tend to go with a 1/3 shortening 2/3 butter kind of ratio.
To use, melt down the required amount of Copha until liquid and then leave to cool before making your buttercream. It can only be added as a liquid, you'll see no matter how long you leave the block out to soften, it won't soften like butter – which means you know it will help to keep the shape and consistency of your piped buttercream.
Also, do not use whipped cream. Don't even attempt it at higher temperatures if you don't have refrigerated transport (not just air conditioned). Not only do you risk some nasty illnesses, but cream splits and curdles and it is really made for fridge storage and immediate serving.
After you have piped out or smoothed your buttercream, putting it in the fridge just to set it for 15 minutes or so can really help.
I hope these tips help you get through the hot summer, enjoy!

Ocean Hero Finalists: Dirk Rosen
This is the sixth in a series of posts about this year's Ocean Hero finalists.
At age four, Dirk Rosen's mother taught him to fish. At age 10, he learned to dive for abalone. In college, he earned his tuition teaching scuba diving.
Guided by this lifelong love of the ocean, Dirk has spent his career applying his expertise with robotic submarines to protect deep-sea marine ecosystems.
Working in and around deepwater environments (2000+ feet deep), Dirk discovered an urgent need to develop more accurate fish and habitat assessments in order to sustainably manage marine resources. In 2003, he founded Marine Applied Research and Exploration (MARE), a non-profit research organization, to collect deepwater data on marine ecosystems using state-of-the-art technical tools.

JU falls to 5-1 on the year while the Aggies improve to 3-2.
Junior LHP Donald Brickle (Jacksonville/Arlington Country Day) was tagged with his first loss (1-1) despite allowing only three runs on eight hits in 5.0 innings of work.

Texas A&M jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the second inning after RBI singles by John Infante and Keith Stein.

The Aggies made it 3-1 in the fifth when Infante drove in Hill with a sacrifice fly to right field. Texas A&M took control of the game in the seventh after scoring four runs on three hits while taking advantage of a Dolphin error.
The Dolphins added another run in the eighth when Murphy drove in sophomore Doug Fowler (High Point, N.C.) with a double down the right-field line.

News: Boston Bomber's Slain Brother Heavy Into Rap, Fan Of Hip-Hop Website
Friday, Apr 19, 2013 5:00PM
While Boston bombing suspect Dzhokar Tsarnaev remains on the run from a police manhunt, new details have surfaced on his slain brother which suggest he was heavy into hip-hop.
According to reports, Tamerlan Tsarnaev had an e-mail associated with a website called "Real-hiphop.com."
The older brother who was killed and suspected in the Boston bombings was deep into hip hop, and it appears he belonged to a fan website that touted that genre of music. Tamerlan Tsarnaev has an email associated with the website, "Real-hiphop.com." The site provides information about hip hop artists and upcoming DVD releases. What's interesting ... hip hop lyrics are notoriously violent and often degrading to women. Tamerlan Tsarnaev has a boxing profile in which he says he doesn't take his shirt off much because he doesn't want women to get bad ideas, adding, "I'm very religious." This statement is significantly more conservative than the hip hop genre. (TMZ)
Prior to going on the run from police, younger brother Dzhokar quoted a Jay-Z lyric on his Twitter page this week.
Boston bombing suspect Dzhokar Tsarnaev has tweeted since the Boston Marathon bombings on what friends of his tell CNN is his Twitter account. His tweets included one at 1:43 a.m. Wednesday that said, "I'm a stress free kind of guy." On Monday at 8:04 p.m. -- hours after the bombings -- he tweeted a quote from rapper Jay-Z, "Ain't no love in the heart of the city, stay safe people." On Tuesday shortly after midnight he tweeted, "There are people that know the truth but stay silent & there are people that speak the truth but we don't hear them cuz they're the minority." (WPTV)
Tamerlan lost his life in a reported shoot-out with police earlier today.
His brother, identified by a law enforcement source as Tamerlan Tsarnaev, died in a shootout with police on early Friday morning. Two federal sources told the Los Angeles Times that the brothers have been in the United States for 10 years. The boys' uncle, Ruslan Tsarni, told WBZ-TV on Friday morning that they were born in Kyrgyzstan. "It's crazy, it's not possible, I can't believe it," Tsarni said. He said one of his nephews had called him Thursday in an apparent attempt to reconcile after an estrangement with Tsarni that had been going on for a couple of years. (Los Angeles Times)
Reports claim the brothers had lived in Massachusetts for roughly ten years.
The brothers had been living together on Norfolk Street in Cambridge. An uncle, Ruslan Tsarni of Montgomery Village, Md., told the Associated Press that the men lived together near Boston and have been in the United States for about a decade. They came from the Russian region near Chechnya, which has been plagued by an Islamic insurgency stemming from separatist wars. (USA Today)
