CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A special magistrate assigned to the case against Kanawha County Prosecutor Mark Plants denied Plants' request to withdraw from a previous agreement that required him to attend an intervention program in Putnam County.
Plants' attorney, Jim Cagle, filed a motion last week asking Magistrate Mike Flanigan to set trial dates for the misdemeanor charges filed against Plants instead of him participating in an intervention program.
Plants is charged with domestic battery of his 11-year-old son. Investigators say he hit the boy more than 10 times with a leather belt back in February.
Plants is also charged with violating a domestic-violence protection order.
During the hearing, Magistrate Flanigan denied the motion to withdraw the pretrial monitoring agreement order.
Special Prosecutor, Sid Bell, who was appointed to the case, says the order entered Friday requires Plants to enroll in the intervention program in Putnam County that was originally agreed upon by both parties.
Bell says the court warned Plants that noncompliance could result in revocation of bond and commitment to jail.
A compliance hearing is set for August 27 in Charleston. Bell says Attorney Cagle told the court that he will file another motion asking that the cases be set for trial. If that motion is filed, the motion will be heard on August 27.
Meanwhile, Kanawha County Commissioners filed a petition Friday morning in circuit court asking to remove Plants from office.
Kanawha County Commissioners voted unanimously to move the petition forward. It means a three judge panel has to decide if Plants should keep his job or not.
Since those charges were filed, a judge ruled that neither Plants, nor members of his office, are allowed to try similar cases. The county has spent more than $92,000 for a special prosecutors to take over those cases.
The petition was filed just after 9 a.m. Friday.

SWALEC Cup round up
28 January 2013 10:20am
By Alex Bywater
Cardiff Met put up a brave fight against Cardiff at the Arms Park
Pontypridd dumped in form Llanelli out of the SWALEC Cup in one of five games played over the weekend.
Last year's finalists crossed for three tries in a 22-14 win but did not have it all their own way against an inform and ferociously competitive Llanelli.
With the first 10 minutes remaining scoreless, the visitors finally broke out of their defensive shackles. Forwards Darran Harris and Chris Dicomidis led a surge into the home twenty-two and scrum half Gareth James was up in support to claim a try. Dai Flanagan converted the score for a 7-0 lead.
Hooker Harris was again prominent in attack as Pontypridd made headway into the home half. After a driving line out was held up just short, and a series of close range scrums were also kept at bay, the pressure finally told as the ball was moved out wide for centre Gary Williams to cross for another try. This time Flanagan's wide angle kick rebounded off a post.
The visitors' lead was extended as fly half Flanagan added a penalty with 28 minutes gone but Llanelli regrouped to finish the first half strongly. A number of charges and counter attacks came to nothing with the home team guilty of committing costly errors. Pressure eventually told though. A Ponty defensive scrum went awry and Llanelli prop Shaun Hopkins pounced for a try. Diggy Bird converted, bringing up an interval score of 7-15.
Llanelli carried their momentum into the second half but it was the visitors who scored first. Centre Gary Williams wrestled a turnover and charged through for a fine opportunist try which was converted by Flanagan.
With a significant deficit to overturn, Llanelli threw everything at Dale McIntosh's side and a beleaguered Ponty defence was further stretched as both winger Chris Clayton and centre Gavin Dacey were sin binned in quick succession. Just as Ponty seemed to have held out and cleared their lines, Llanelli struck back on the counter, in form winger Kyle Evans sprinting in for a try which full back Jonny Lewis converted.
Evans' try proved to be the final score though as Ponty's defence held out to progress to the next round.
In the remaining games there were no giant killing acts but Cardiff Met came close at their neighbours' Cardiff, the top tier club relying on a late score to claim a narrow 20-16 victory.
In a Bridgend derby tie, the Ravens saw off the Athletic at the Brewery Field 31-3.
It was the away side who opened the scoring through the boot of Steve Lewis but that was as good as it got for the Green and Golds.
Rhys Ward-Jones was the first to benefit from the dominance of the home sidebefore Tom Morgan ensured the home side led 14-3 at the break.
With the conditions under foot beginning to tell, credit must be given to both teams for trying to play an expansive game, and it was this that led to further tries for the impressive Ward-Jones, and replacements Andrew Waite and Scott Hicks to ensure The Ravens were in the hat for the next round.
In the remaining games to take place, Swansea gained a 29-12 home win over North Wales team RGC 1404 while Narberth could not make the most of home advantage as they were beaten 36-15 by Carmarthen Quins.

I was crouched low under a work bench in an old, dirty shed in the backyard of a house that was in similar condition. I held my breath, and I noticed how the fear of being chased by the S.A.L.E. never went away, regardless of the number of run-ins. I felt the same way I did the night my parents disowned me. And the day Joseph died for me.
Joseph. The Affected man who kept ahead of the S.A.L.E. for three years. It was beginning to feel so distant. The memories of him telling me and teaching me about the S.A.L.E. Even though I lost Joseph not too far from Michigan, the very start of my journey, I wouldn't have made it to New Jersey without his help. I thought about Joseph almost every day and the things he told me about the S.A.L.E., like why they do what they do: rounding up the Affected mercilessly to take them to who-knows-where.
I was scared tonight. Not just because the S.A.L.E. was after me as usual. Not because I was dumb enough to follow a group of them, trying to find out what they knew about me and my whereabouts. Bone-chilling fear had its hand on me because of what I overheard. When they heard I was in the area, they dispersed small groups throughout the state, about one to each town. They were walking through a local trail because they've found me in the woods before.
I was tailing them a safe distance behind and off the path. The grouped stopped because one of them had an earpiece and he had gotten a message. After he was done he relayed the news to him group. Those words I would never forget.
"I just got a message from high up. It's from the head of the S.A.L.E, to be specific. Apparently the rules have changed. The dead or alive status no longer applies. The boy is to be delivered alive. Force may be used as necessary."
I don't know why, but hearing about the mysterious, rarely mentioned Head of the S.A.L.E., my blood ran cold. That was one person I didn't want to meet.
Then he spoke louder, yelling almost.
"Hear that, Bishop? The Head has plans for you!"
And that was the moment I snapped. The vision of that dark road spurred me into a fearful sprint away, attempts at being discreet completely discarded. There was no way they knew I was there, he was just yelling it for intimidation and he was lucky enough to have me around to hear it. I hated myself for that. Joseph would have been disappointed.
So that's how I ended up being singled out to this town and why I now sought refuge in a shed. I sat there, enveloped by darkness, slowly breathing the dusty air in an out while I listened to plan my next move. The S.A.L.E. sirens were beginning to fade and I knew I didn't have much time. Over time, I had noticed they came in waves. Three to be exact. The time between them and how quickly they were executed varied. But the first was always the wheels.
They chased you on cars and motorcycles for while and tired you out.
Then they scattered people on foot around the area, searching thoroughly in all possible hiding places.
Then, the final wave came. The helicopters. They flew the helicopters over with big guns and they used their land forces to guide and direct them, setting up ways to corner and trap Affected fugitives.
If the car sirens were fading, it meant the second wave would be coming through. So I had two options. Run now and try to get farther away in the time slot between waves, whose length I did not know and existence I was not promised. Or I could stay in a shed while they looked for me. Although it served me well during the first wave, a shed is an ideal hiding place, meaning anyone who had time would think to look there.
Knowing I was a sitting duck by being stationary, I slowly crept toward the door of the shed. I opened the door a crack and peered out. I scanned the area I could see, and although I didn't see any of the S.A.L.E., I saw the telltale beams of the flashlights attached to their guns, sweeping at varying distances.
I knew I didn't have a chance out there. I couldn't fight them. My powers aren't exactly subtle. It'd attract anyone else in the area. Maybe if I could use the element of surprise when they came instead of my powers, I could take them out silently and even make it through the third wave.
Knowing that was my best bet, I closed the door and crawled back under the work bench. When I got under there, my knee came down on something hard. I didn't know how I avoided feeling it the last time I was down there. I felt for it with my hand and felt a wooden handle. I moved my other hand along it and felt cool metal. It was curved and had sort of a rounded, but sharp edge.
It was a hand shovel. I knew it would come in hand. I worked myself all the way under the bench and pulled the shovel close to my chest. In the dusty darkness of my hiding place, I could hear my anxious heart beating like a wild drummer who was caught up in the moment.
Over all that, I could hear the two men outside the shed, undoubtedly with the S.A.L.E. Salesmen. All this time, I didn't know what to call these people who had pursued me mercilessly. I just called them workers, or agents, which they in a way were, but not as much as they were Salesmen. That term was perfect in so many ways. They followed me and would not leave me alone, just like people persistently trying to make you buy things. And the first four letters were S-A-L-E.
"Did you guys check the shack behind the house on Greystone Street yet?" said the first Salesman. Then there was a pause. There was a tiny, barely audible voice that spoke. He was on an earpiece.
"Okay," he said into the earpiece. "We're going in," he declared, now talking to the other Salesman. The shed door swung open and light filtered in. From where I was, I could only see from about their knees and down.
I only saw one flashlight beam, meaning only one of them had their gun out. I saw the beam drifting from nook to cranny, and I knew they'd find me in no time. I gripped the handle of the shovel tighter and tighter, while forcing myself to keep my breathing calm and quiet.
I saw the beam gravely gliding across the floor and towards me. Then it stopped right in front of the work bench. I saw the Salesman's knees bending as he crouched, coming to my level. There was silence as our eyes met and I knew the Salesman didn't really expect to find me here. He was the type who did his job but never expected to be a part of the action.
But whether or not he wanted it, I gave him action.
I exploded forward and knocked him onto his back with ferociousness, simultaneously driving my arm downward like a piston, lodging a trowel in his thigh. I sat atop him and landed three vicious blows to his face with my left hand.
Still aware of the Salesman behind me who was reaching for his gun, I yanked the hand shovel out of the first man and stood up while turning around, swinging it into his jaw. He reeled back with a gasp and backed into the wall. I charged forward and pinned him, the pent-up rage driving me. I held the trowel right in front of his chest, ready to drive it forward. The Salesman was dazed, eyes glazed over and his cheek bloody.
I stopped when I realized that I was seconds away from murdering a man. Joseph's final words rang in my head as I came to my senses.
Don't become the monster they're telling the world you are. If you do that, they've already won.
I just punched the Salesman on the injured side of his face and he crumpled to the floor. I looked behind me and saw the other one unconscious as well, and I knew I had dispatched them both.
"Only do what needs to be done," I whispered to myself as the shovel fell from my hand. I still couldn't take my eyes off of them and I couldn't help but feel horrible and just be ashamed at what I had been driven to in a matter of weeks. I hadn't cried since the first night they had chased me. But now, the warm tears began to fill my eyes once again.
No. I couldn't get weak now. I had no idea if the second wave was over or not and the third still had yet to come. I then heard the same tiny voice from before and looked at the Salesman I had stabbed in the thigh. It was coming from his earpiece and he wasn't answering. They'd know something had happened and they'd be coming.
I felt hesitant about leaving the shed, but knew I had to. I pushed the door open and stepped out, feeling naked and exposed. I scanned the backyard and decided to go to my right. I hopped the fence into the next backyard and kept going, staying behind houses. After about seven houses, I got close to the house and peered around the side of it and down the driveway. I saw four Salesmen and women hurriedly walking down the street in the direction I'd come.
I could see another, darker backyard directly across the street. I counted to forty when I was sure they were gone, then I bolted down the driveway and my feet carried me across the street, where I began to notice shiny patches on the sidewalk on the other side of the street. I made the unwise choice to stop when I got to the sidewalk to look at the patches of what seemed to be ice.
I then heard a sudden, sharp squeak behind me. I turned around to see a figure barreling toward me. It collided with my body and sent me tumbling backward, knocking the air out of my lungs. Pain shot through my body as I sat up, panicking and not knowing what was going on. The person who had crashed into me was already on their feet, and they were staring at me when I looked up.
The astonished faced of a guy maybe a year older than me was what I saw. His eyes were wide and shocked. I had never seen a non S.A.L.E. person out during the waves. Everyone knew to stay inside during S.A.L.E. chases. This was very confusing for me.
"You're… Bishop," he said. "Greg Bishop." I stood and took off toward the dark backyard, but I heard the boy's footsteps right behind me. His hand gripped my wrist after I had reached the backyard and I stopped. I regretted leaving the trowel.
"Wait!" he pleaded with me. "I need your help."
"Quiet down," I demanded. He did. "Tell me what you want. Quietly." I didn't know what this guy could possibly want. I was extremely on edge, especially knowing the final wave was coming.
"I'm Wes," he began. "And my sister, s-she heard about you on the news and she felt bad for you. She… is Affected too. But no one knows about it but me. I woke up tonight and she was gone. I heard the sirens and thought they were coming after her. Now I know they're not but she has no control over her powers and the S.A.L.E. are everywhere. They could easily see and take her."
As messed up as all that was, I couldn't risk getting caught. I turned on my heel and began walking away.
"Please," Wes hissed. "I'm begging you."
I kept walking.
"She's just thirteen."
Walked some more.
"She's why that ice is everywhere. They pick up on that and she is toast."
I began climbing the fence into the next backyard.
"She might die trying to save you."
I stopped. I was at the top of the fence with one leg over when he said that. And when I did that he knew he struck a chord.
"Someone has died for you before," Wes said. "And I bet it eats away at you every day. It does, doesn't it? Well you walking away is just going to double that guilt. It's going to haunt you for the rest of your life. Unless you are the cold, heartless asshole the S.A.L.E. makes us think you are."
I let myself down from the fence and walked up to Wes.
"Wes," I said, teeming with irritation at the guy for convincing me to help him. "I'm going to help you find your sister. But don't start thinking you know anything about me just because you got me to help you. because you sure as hell don't." As soon as I finished speaking, I heard a sound. A soft, distant, beating. Both of our heads turned to the sky as the sound grew louder. Cold realization set in as I realized I was hearing the sound of a helicopter soaring through the night, searching for its Affected target. The final wave had begun, and two Affected people were about to be swept away in it.

The cast of Kick-Ass 2 isn't the only thing that's growing. Aaron Johnson who plays the titular superhero recently talked about the changes his character was going through.For me, I'm very much the same, I'm back in the wet suit. But there are quite a few alterations on others. You'll see that there's not such a transition in him at first, but there is a journey that he goes on.I think there's a challenge in trying to make him grow as a person and develop. Have a journey and an arc, I think there's a challenge in that. But he's got to have some similarity to the last one.Oh, and who you're seeing at the right is actually the villain of Kick-Ass 2, Mother Russia. Russian bodybuilder Olga Kurkulina has been cast to play the role and she couldn't be any more fit to do it--in more ways than one.Check out the next picture in the gallery and you'll see what we mean.

The roaring and shouting went on for twenty minutes. Then the blood-soaked warrior crawled out, staggered to his feet, and said, "Okay, your kingship, now show me where the English lady with the toothache is."
Osho,I feel half-cooked! On the one hand I'm happy, more blessed and blissful, more loving and loved than ever before - and I feel so thrilled about it. And on the other hand my old companions - jealousy, competitiveness, the need to be important, special - they are also still around, in the same pot. I dance and celebrate with lightness and joy, and when the flashes of darkness come I relax and accept as much as I can and I try to remain watchful.Osho, since supposedly I am both the cook and the cooked, do I need to turn up the fire? Or would you advise that I continue to simmer slowly? Somehow, simmering slowly doesn't seem to be our way..
Simmering slowly is certainly not our way. And you are wrong about feeling that you are the cook and the cooked: I am the cook, you are the cooked. So please leave it to me; you just get relaxed and be cooked.
You say: "I feel half-cooked. On the one hand I am happy, more blessed and blissful, more loving and loved than ever before - and I feel so thrilled about it. And on the other hand my old companions - jealousy, competitiveness, the need to be important, special - they are also still around."
Don't be worried about them, don't take them seriously. The more you take them seriously, the more you nourish them. Let them be around: just be playful with them. Your blissfulness, your being more loved and more loving will take care of the whole thing.
Qualities like jealousy exist only when you are not loved, when you are not capable of loving. Competitiveness, the need to be important, special, they are all part of the same phenomenon: jealousy. They are not separate things, separate aspects. And if you are feeling blissful, happy, loved and loving, then there is no need to be worried: if you have light, the darkness will disappear on its own.
They are your old companions, so just out of habit they still come to see you. Be courteous; don't be angry about them, and don't try to push them away. Just watch - but watch joyously. Your watchfulness can also become serious, and that is a great problem: it should remain part of your playfulness.and jealousy cannot exist.
And when you are blissful, who cares about being important? - you are important. And when you are loved and you are loving, who bothers about being special? These desires arise in people who don't have any taste of bliss, any taste of love.

DECC: UK Remains a Net Importer of Energy
The UK remained a net importer of energy, with an increased dependency level of 47 percent, according to the "Digest of UK Energy Statistics 2014" released by the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC). This continues the trend from 2004 when the UK once again became a net importer of fuel. In 2013 the UK was a net importer of all fuels, as imports of petroleum products in total exceeded exports following the closure of the Coryton refinery.
The Digest provides detailed analysis of production, transformation and energy consumption in 2013. The publication includes the following key statistics:
- Primary energy production fell by 6.3 percent from a year earlier due to record low coal output following mine closures.
- Final energy consumption rose by 0.7 percent, reflecting the colder weather in 2013. On a temperature-adjusted basis, energy consumption was down 0.3 percent continuing the downward trend of the last nine years.
- Electricity generated from renewable sources in 2013 increased by 30 percent from a year earlier and accounted for 14.9 percent of total UK electricity generation, up from 11.3 percent in 2012. Total renewables accounted for 5.2 percent of energy consumption in 2013, up from 4.2 percent in 2012.
- Gross natural gas production fell 6.2 percent in 2013. This reflects the continuing long-term decline in UK natural gas production, which has fallen by an average of 8.0 percent per year since 2000, when production peaked.
- Energy imports were at record levels in 2013, up 2.3 percent from 2012 levels.
One comment on "DECC: UK Remains a Net Importer of Energy"
Couple of comments – North Sea oil drove the drop in the 1970s. The rise (in the 1980s) was due to Thatcher closing coal mines in the mid-1980s to 1990s, the further drop was due to the move to gas-powered generation coupled to more efficient use of energy. The rise in the late 1990s was due to North Sea oil/gas running out.
It is worth noting that the UK, unlike Norway, did not invest oil revenues in a Sovereign Wealth fund – it threw it away on an engineered depression (early 1980s) and tax cuts for the upper & middle classes who spent it on imports. Bravo.

W3Schools Online Web Tutorials always has some fairly good tutorials to work through.
Im not working just now (visa crap) and am a bit bored of just going to the beach every day. Well not really, but its not very mentally stimulating.. Ive booked into a SCUBA diving course for a couple of days, giong to go get some surf lessons and stuff so that should pass some time, but I think it would probably be prudent to use this time to learn something new..
Cant really afford to do a full on MS course or anything, but is there any decent webpages, pdfs, or anything that will keep my mind learning that I could be reading?
(if you haven't already) learn a programming language?
Cheers, but Ive taken my web development skills as far as I really want to..
Although you have reminded me there are a few of my websites that could probably do with an overhaul
Although I would love to learn perl I guess. Ill go dig up that other thread about what language to learn Im sure someone started recently and see if theres any perl related links in there..
PS. My time off is only going to be about 6 weeks, so not sure if thats enough time to really get into a language?
Any thoughts on a project you'd like to do? Maybe something where it'd be convenient to learn a skill alongside?
Six weeks is plenty of time to learn a new language, particularly if it's more scripting than software dev. If you haven't before pay a visit to the Scripting guys at Microsoft Technet and look into Powershell. The Powershell games make a great little challenge to give an aim and learn at the same time.
Powershell is an awesome idea. Thanks
2010 Scripting Games: Preparations - Hey, Scripting Guy! Blog - Site Home - TechNet Blogs
All the powershell I know, I learned off the Scripting Guys. Some very good tutorials.
* SharePoint Server Virtual Labs
* SharePoint Products and Technologies - Virtual Labs | TechNet
* SharePoint 2010 Developer Training Course | Courses | Learn | Channel 9
* http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/e...displaylang=en (Also goes with this *i think*)
* The "Sharepoint in Education" blog
Have a look at Past tests and related documents - Board of Studies NSW and then lol?
* Free Technology for Teachers: 100+ Free Textbooks from Open Culture talks about a site that released a whole pile of free textbooks, those might be interesting.

I just did a search for "SCUBA" to find my other thread, and stumbled back upon this..
I didnt do anything productive in the end

Milton students carry donations to food pantry
As part of an annual tradition, a stream of about 200 students, teachers and school officials took a walk around the block to drop off donations to volunteers from the local food pantry, operated by Community Action Partnership of Strafford County. The pantry relocated from Charles Street to its new location at 55 Industrial Way.
"It's a great way to give back to the community," Tursi said.
"It's always good to help," Welch said. The pantry volunteers collect the donations from the students who then continue their walk back to school.
Magoon, who remembers when her daughter took part in the walk in the past, hopes this will encourage more donations as the holiday season approaches.
Fire Chief Nick Marique said firefighters will continue to accept donations through November at the main fire station along White Mountain Highway, Route 125, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. or "whenever the light is on."

Paella salad
This tiny, ancient grain has long been grown in Ethiopia and Eritrea. It is now gaining popularity elsewhere as a healthy grain alternative to wheat. It is similar in taste and appearance to quinoa or millet, easy to prepare and very nutritious.
Grown and eaten in Northeast African for centuries, teff has become increasingly popular in North America in recent years, where it can be found in health food stores in grain form or ground into flour. It is higher in protein than wheat and is also high in iron, calcium and amino acids. It contains no gluten, which makes it ideal for coeliacs or people with wheat sensitivities.
In Ethiopia, teff is traditionally ground into flour and used to make a delicious traditional flatbread called injera. Teff can be used to make breads, pancakes, porridge, cereal and other baked goods that use flour.
Teff is hard to find in Australia but can be found in some African specialty food stores. Otherwise, try gluten-free producers for Teff flour products or buy Teff flour online from Shield and Spear.

Ron Gardenhire wants the Twins to sign Jim Thome
Mar 1, 2013, 10:47 AM EST
Jim Thome is looking for work and LaVelle E. Neal III of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported last week that the Twins had talked to the 42-year-old designated hitter earlier in the offseason.
Toss in the fact that manager Ron Gardenhire recently made it clear that he wants a veteran bat off the Twins' bench and Thome returning to Minnesota seems like a natural fit. So why hasn't it happened yet?
Darren Wolfson of 1500ESPN.com reports that Gardenhire wants the Twins to sign Thome, but the front office has some reservations in part because he's insisting on a major-league contract.
Minnesota's roster is well-stocked with first basemen, corner outfielders, and designated hitters as is, so finding Thome regular at-bats would be a challenge, but on my Twins-centric podcast this week we talked about how there isn't really much downside to choosing Thome for the final bench spot over, say, Drew Butera or a second utility infielder.
If nothing else he might make another non-contending season for the Twins somewhat less painful to watch for Minnesotans.
- Kleinz 57 - Mar 1, 2013 at 10:53 AM
42 year-old future HoFers add like… 25 wins to your season. C'mon, Gleeman. Everybody knows that!
- wonkypenguin - Mar 1, 2013 at 10:56 AM
Don't forget that he's a nice guy! Nice guys are worth an extra 5 wins, too, which is why the Twins spend an inordinate amount of time trying to find them.
- historiophiliac - Mar 1, 2013 at 10:59 AM
It's the mentory goodness.
- unclemosesgreen - Mar 1, 2013 at 11:08 AM
Vlad undercut Thome's market by announcing he'd take a minor league deal.
Why not eschew Butera and a second utility guy, and sign them both? Doumit could do some more catching and play a little more RF, Mauer could play some 1B. I just love the Strat-O-Matic feel of a Thome/Guerrero DH platoon.
- albertmn - Mar 1, 2013 at 1:10 PM
Rosters aren't big enough to carry TWO guys that can't play the field. Even when Thome was on the Twins, it handcuffed them slightly. You always need to keep a guy to replace Thome, either to pinch run late in a game if he DH's or to play the field if Thome pinch hits for someone. Wouldn't mind seeing Thome back, but would rather have a younger player that can field, if the Twins can find one (shouldn't be tough to find one that hits better than Butera).
Plus, Vlad can't hit anymore, so it is a moot point about signing both.
- danglesnipecelly24 - Mar 1, 2013 at 11:45 AM
Twins need Thome back so they have at least one left handed bat on the roster who can hit bombs towards the flag pole in right
- zzalapski - Mar 1, 2013 at 11:54 AM
Anything to get Drew Butera off the major league roster. He's fucking terrible.
- unclemosesgreen - Mar 1, 2013 at 12:16 PM
Every time I see your screen name I get angry and see green. Your comments are fine, but that name …
- zzalapski - Mar 1, 2013 at 2:29 PM
Sorry, man. Can't help which athletes I think have cool names.
- schrutebeetfarms - Mar 1, 2013 at 1:16 PM
The last thing the twins need is another nice guy. They need an a-hole who will get upset and call people out on their way to another 90 loss season as Gardenhire apparently won't do it.
- greatdayfortwo - Mar 1, 2013 at 2:39 PM
Totally agree. I get the sense when someone struggles, they pat him on the back in the clubhouse and tell him it'll get better rather than telling them to get out there and practice or study video.
The idea of Thome coming back is exciting, but in reality, it's a miserable idea. He's not the guy we had a few years ago. Since leaving the Twins, he's batting .265 (62 for 234) and has hit only 11 homers. In the playoff run on 2010, fans saw him post an OPS over 1.000. Those days are gone.
Twins should take a pass on Thome, a pasture for Butera, and look at someone like Sizemore or Damon who might have a better upside at the plate.
- 13arod - Mar 1, 2013 at 2:42 PM
The twins have no vetrens so sign thome can't win without a couplr of vetrens
- tuberippin - Mar 1, 2013 at 4:52 PM
One of the four greatest left-handed home-run hitters, the man with 612 career dingers, seventh all-time…the man deserves a friggin' major-league deal.
- mnwildfan15 - Mar 1, 2013 at 5:30 PM
The fans want Thome back sign him now and if he gets hot trade him at the deadline for some prospects or draft picks. Plus it's Jim fricken Thome the only guy that has put on a twins uni and hit HRs @ target field.

Barbie bungee
In this lesson, students model a bungee jump for a Barbie doll. They collect data in a table (number of rubber bands and jump distance), then create a scatterplot of the data, find its line of best fit, and write an equation of that line. Students go on to analyze the equation, noting its slope in relation to the data collected, and the meaning of the y-intercept. Since the distance to which the doll will fall is directly proportional to the number of rubber bands, the lesson provides a scenario
