Woman's downtown mugging captured on video
Updated On: Oct 24 2013 03:04:19 PM EDT
An attempt to steal a woman's purse as she walked to work downtown Wednesday morning was caught on video.
Mary, who asked that her last name not be used, told police she was walking to her job at a Vine Street law firm when two men approached her from behind in Ruth Lyons Alley around 7:30 a.m.
One of the men then grabbed her around the neck.
"He had his hand on my throat so I couldn't speak and after a number of seconds, people were going in to work and that's when they ran off," Mary said.
Mary and her assailant struggled for several seconds before he pushed her to the ground and fled, without the purse.
"And then I realized they were going for my purse, and I was not going to go easily," Mary said.
Mary said after her attacker ran off, she went on to her office and called police.
"I'm OK physically. My throat is a little bit sore, but I wasn't about to knuckle under," she said. "I hope they get caught and I hope they realize this is not a way of life."
Police have not released a description of Mary's attacker but said they were working several leads.
Any witnesses were asked to call CrimeStoppers at 513-352-3040.

Tend to form strong central leader; require minimal pruning. Blooming habit and leaf drop in the two deciduous species, B. acerifolius and B. discolor, can be most erratic. Young trees often bloom only in sections of the tree rather than all over it; those parts will drop their leaves while nonblooming areas retain their foliage. Older trees tend to produce blooms on all branches and drop all their leaves before flowers appear. Bloom is best after a dry winter.Brachychiton populneus

Kenny Washington at Havana Nights Jazz and Cigar Club in Virginia Beach, Va
West Coast vocalist shows why he is the best in the business
Kenny Washington may be small in stature, but when he starts to sing he is a giant in the world of jazz vocalists. Known mostly on the west coast this is Washington's second visit to the Virginia Beach/Norfolk area and fan's hope there are many more appearances to come. Accompanied by the John Toomey Trio (Toomey on piano, Jimmy Masters on bass and Jae Sinnett on drums) these four swinging musicians blended like a group who had been together for years instead of just one afternoon. Washington, equally adept at scatting, swinging, be-bopping, or just gently delivering a ballad, stood back and let each member of the trio have the spotlight throughout the evening. By the look on his face, he was digging what he heard as much as the audience. And what the audience heard was the best of the best.

Finnish police confiscate 9-y-o's laptop after she downloads a song from the Pirate Bay
A nine-year-old Finnish girl's computer was confiscated by the police after she downloaded a track from the Pirate Bay. She was trying to preview the new album by Chisu (she later bought the album and went to the concert). The Finnish TTVK (Copyright Information and Anti-Piracy Centre) demanded 600 Euros in summary fines from her family, along with a gag order, and the family refused, so they sicced the police on them.
Events started when last year's october family's daughter tried to preview to Chisu's new album. According to child's father, searches took her to the Pirate bay. Next spring the father got a letter from TTVK demanding 600 euros. TTVK's letter also demanded a nondisclosure. Father didn't oblige, but instead, wrote a letter back to the attorney. Letter included photographs of the bought album, and the tickets to the concert, which her child attended.
According to a TorrentFreak report, the confiscated machine was a Winnie the Pooh laptop.

Finnish band tells its fans how to get around Finland's Pirate Bay block —Alymysto is a Finnish band that releases its music over BitTorrent, and counts on fans being able to access The Pirate Bay in order to find it.

Finnish court: open WiFi owners not responsible for copyright infringement
A Finnish court has ruled that merely operating an open WiFi access point does not make you liable for copyright infringements committed on your network. From the defense attorney's press release:
This alleged copyright infringement had taken place in a specific 12-minute period in July 14 2010, a date when a summer theater play with an audience of around hundred people was held at the premises of the former school owned and resided by the lady.
The applicants were unable to provide any evidence that the connection-owner herself had been involved in the file-sharing. The court thus examined whether the mere act of providing a WiFi connection not protected with a password can be deemed to constitute a copyright-infringing act.
Crucially, the applicants also sought an injunction to prevent the defendant for committing any similar acts in the future. Had the injunction been granted, the legal status of various open WiFi providers would have turned out extremely difficult, as rights-owners would have been provided with a powerful legal weapon to shut them down in cases of similar, arguably insignificant infringements by incidental visitors and customers...
Finally, the court concluded that the WiFi owner cannot be deemed liable for the infringements actually committed by third parties.

What the US government tells European parliamentarians about ACTA
Sulka sez, "A Finnish MEP (Anneli Jäättenmäki) visited US and got told that given ACTA has been prepared entirely outside of Congress and isn't ratified, it's probably not legally binding towards US. The process has also been similar in other countries (Finland included), so it's questionable if the treaty has any power."
I visited Washington in the European Parliament, the Liberal andCentre Group Presidency with the beginning of the week. We met with U.S. Congressional representatives and financial experts. One of the most talked subjects had anti-counterfeiting agreement, Acta.
We heard some unexpected information. U.S. Congress senator responsible for ACTA foreign trade committee chairman Ron Wyden, said he'd tried to find out if Acta is binding towards US or not. Congress has been kept outside of the process for forming the treaty, and the senator has received no response to his inquiries.
We also got to hear that the U.S. government does not intend to give Congress a vote on the agreement as it would collapse in Congress, which is a pretty worrying rationale. According to the U.S. law, Congress always deals with international agreements.
The U.S. government characterized in a reply to Wyden that ACTA is a bilateral trade agreements and as such has no effect on U.S. law. The big question remains as to whether the Acta at all binding on the United States.
The European Commission assumes that Acta is binding on the signatory countries. ACTA's credibility is seriously at stake if its signatories can apply it as they see fit.
The EU Commission and the European Parliament have given ACTA to the EU Court of Justice for review. ACTA was negotiated in secret, and the parties have failed to tell the agreements content. It is right that the agreement's effects of fundamental rights of citizens are being reviewed.
This Agreement shall come into force only after ratification of the European Parliament and all Member States. Now the ratification of the Treaty appears to be rather distant matter.

Anonymous Finland: 10% of Finnish email accounts nationwide compromised
"Anonymous Finland" claims it has compromised the email logins and passwords of 500,000 Finns -- about ten percent of the country's population.
Among the hacked emails are allegedly accounts belonging to journalists at Finland's mainstream daily Helsingin Sanomat, members of the Finnish parliament, police officials, Helsinki city councillors and students and faculties at several of the country's universities.
The hackers said they had taken advantage of security loopholes in company computer systems storing email addresses and passwords.
Anonymous Finland has also launched a campaign against the rightwing extremist Finnish Resistance Movement, leaking a list of its membership applications on October 31.
And on Monday, the group announced it was launching a series of cyber attacks against Finnish mining company Talvivaara, alleging its mining activities in Sotkamo in eastern Finland are conducted to "the detriment of the local natural environment and people of the communities".

On a mild Friday night in early October, Professor of Theatre Gregg Stull watched with keen eyes as a group of students worked through a scene of Steven Sondheim's "Into the Woods," which opened in Klein Theatre Thursday, Nov. 1. The musical is a coming-of-age story featuring the fairytale characters most anyone will remember from childhood: Cinderella, the Baker and the Baker's wife, Jack who traded his cow for some magic beans. But life is not a fairytale; a vengeful giant is on the loose and has already claimed a number of victims. Stull, the chair of the department and the director of the play, rose from his seat during a particularly poignant scene between a widowed Baker and Cinderella. But Stull wasn't sure the pair was quite conveying that. He posed a couple of questions, told them to try again. He returned to his seat. "Good, good, good," Stull said. It is a historic theater season at the University of Mary Washington. One hundred years ago, on Dec. 16, 1912, … [Read more...]

Rwanda Media Commission (RMC) says that it may have to take serious measures on media houses that don't uphold serious the existing media ethics and practices.
This comes after some local Kinyarwanda newspapers have been sued for defamation and lack of objectivity in the case involving top government officials who were recently relieved of their duties.
Previously the media commission has been publically shaming such media houses that exhibit this kind of unprofessional conduct, but the commission now says that tough penalties will be implemented.
Fred Muvunyi the head of RMC says that the punitive measure will now be serious and go beyond the usual warnings and condemnation.
At least five cases of abuse of media rights and defamation have been submitted to the commission including complainants such as the former premier Pierre Damien and senator Consolee Uwimana, both accused in a Kinyarwanda tabloid- Rushyashya-of working with the FDLR rebels.
Besides the local print tabloids, RMC says that most of the online tabloids and news outlets have been earmarked among the media houses inclined to defame and make false allegations in their reporting.
Since the revisit of the media law, some journalists have so far served jail terms in the country for false and unprofessional reporting.

The government is hopeful that the opening of the motion capture studio will help the country's ambitions of exporting Media content, a move likely to begin next year.
Through the African Digital Media academy that was started two and half years ago to boost Media sector in the country, the government plans to export content which it believes will also increase export receipts dearly needed by the economy to close the deficit gap.
" We brought experts from United states to train our own people in using HI-Tec Media production and we expect to have trained enough to handle production contracts from across the world which means Media will also be another key sector in prompting exports," Jerome Gasana, Director General of Workforce Development Authority Said.
The opening of the Motion capture studio which is third in the content after South Africa and Nigeria comes along the recently established Green studio as well as production laboratories that are able to produce Media content at an international standards.
"We have already started receiving requests for production both in the country and from United States but what we need now is to train more Rwandans to handle this demand by 2015," said Christopher Marler, Director Africa Digital Media Academy.
The Africa Digital Media Academy that has already seen an investment worth over Rwf2 billion.
Marler says that the Academy will help the quality and content production for the broadcasting sector as well as film industry which has been facing a challenge of locally produced content.
The motion capture Studio which is using the latest technology in motion picture production is expected to help in production of television commercials as well as do Films and movies.
"Our students have already started making Television commercials and cartoons and we believe that Rwanda will be bale to produce its own content rather than depending on foreign content.
Gasana said that the government plans to set up a fully-fledged institution in the next three years that will handle the increasing demand of students and will have an amphi-theatre, prediction studios, and Media laboratories among others.]]>

People around the world can now listen to radio stations in their native countries thanks to ZenoRadio that enables them to use their cellphones to tune in to radios at home for free.
The initiative started when Baruch Herzfeld, the ZenoRadio founder, living in the US got an almost obsessive will to connect people in the diaspora to radio stations in their home countries and wanted to make it happen at a cheap, easy and smart way.
According to Chaim Gross, the ZenoRadio marketing manager, they have to assign a local phone number in a specific country to a radio station's internet stream in a native country.
To listen to a radio station from home via ZenoRadio, a listener would call a country-specific telephone number and press a keypad numeral for a station.
For example a customer who wants to listen to a station from Rwanda would call the country's ZenoRadio assigned number then plunge 1, 2, 3, and so on until they reach a station they like to listen to from Rwanda.
When in the US, residents who want to listen to KT radio from New York, he dials +171-674-801-73 to listen to live streaming.
Gross says that their vow is to bring news from native areas which take them out of isolation, especially when they listen to most cultural magazines and songs. It's a bridge that links the diaspora to the native daily life.
In a phone interview from Iowa in the US, Karangwa Claudien, said that his experience with the 'dial-in to home radio' is impressive.
He started to listen to his Rwandan favorite radio stations during the last world football cup to get the tournament updates from his favorite sports newsmen and columnists.
"Listening to my favorite radio stations from home has changed my days. I'd tune in like ten times a day listening to updates and news from my country but what I enjoyed the most was the world cup updates," he said.
Prosper Bitembek is the Director of KT Radio, which operates in Kigali and partners with Zenoradio and broadcasts in the US, Belgium and France.
He says since KT Radio started partnering with ZenoRadio he has seen an increasing number of listeners from abroad.
Bitembeka observed that the app has an advantage of being very cheap and easier for people overseas who use any mobile phone and listen to Radio wherever they are.
"Rwandan in diaspora can now get informed about their home country on daily basis, at no or low fee charge," he said.
Currently ZenoRadio provides a connection to around 2000 stations, and the figures never cease to hike.
"The move is reaching out to hundreds more every day," said Gross.
He further said that his radio is likely to increase followers abroad and to generate more income through adverts. He's got line numbers for Rwandans in the US, Belgium and France.
He says that people are likely to increase. "Some of them feel culturally isolated and allowing them to use any phone handset gives us reason to look forward for an unflagging ground," he said.]]>
The chairman of the Rwanda Media Commission (RMC) Fred Muvunyi urged media practitioners to acquire press cards before October 30.
He said after August 30, no journalist would be allowed to gather news without RMC press card.
"Many people pretend to be journalists without any knowledge of how journalism is done hence tarnishing the image of the profession. So the cards will be meant to distinguish real journalists and those pretending to be," saysMuvunyi
Recently, a local website Rwanda Paparazzi was accused by embattled politician Ingabire Victorie for publishing a false story calling her a witch. Following the intervention of RMC, the website was ordered to apologise to Ingabire which it did immediately.
Muvunyi added that, RMC set the deadline of issuing press cards after several complaints filed by the public about unprofessional media practitioners.
This development comes following several complaints filled by listeners and readers to RMC about unprofessionalism among media organisations across the country.
Muvunyi warned that media outlets that have published baseless rumours and false stories will be punished accordingly soon and among the punishments, shutting down of such outlets is also a possible option.
Who is supposed to have RMC press card
According to RMC boss the press card will be given to media practitioners who gather news and present it to the public with facts backed by well knowledge of media ethics as the constitution states.
He also mentioned that those who qualify to get the press cards will a journalist with journalism educational back ground and well equipped with media skills.
According to Rwanda Media Commission some people enter media sector without journalistic knowledge.
RMC warned media practitioners who will be found guilty of publishing false stories that they will be punished according to the media laws.
Ever since the inception of RMC 35 complaints were received from the public accusing various media outlets publish defamatory stories.
Twenty complaints were already solved by RMC.]]>

The chairman of the Rwanda Media Commission (RMC), Fred Muvunyi has urged Rwandan practicing journalists to be objective and balanced while reporting.
"Report impartially and shun companies that aim at corrupting and manipulating your work," advised Muvunyi.
Several complaints have been risen by Showbiz fraternity about being discriminated against in case they don't follow suit about some major company requests, for example; journalists are ordered to dress in Bralirwa brand T-shirts to qualify to cover the ongoing Primus Guma Guma super star season four competition.
Muvunyi urged journalists to avoid being used as brand ambassadors for companies and instead serve public interests.
"I fully agree with journalists who chose not to dress in Brwalirwa brand T-shirts, it's not ethical to use journalists for brand ambassadors," said Muvunyi.
Bralirwa and East Africa Promoters , the organisers of Guma Guma competition say wearing brand T-shirts is for journalist security.
Journalists request Bralirwa to come up with other security measures other than brand T-shirts.
Primus Guma Guma is an annual competition that promotes artists.
On the other hand, Rwanda Media Council protects, regulates and ensures ethical reporting among Rwandan journalists.
Thirteen journalism students from The University of Carleton, Ottawa, paid a visit to Kigalitoday Ltd, to learn on field reporting.
The students were headed by a Canadian professor, Allan Thompson.
While speaking on KT radio 96.7 live on Monday 26th, May, 2014, the students praised Rwandan hospitality in general and Kigalitoday's high tech equipment.
"Kigalitoday Ltd boasts of brilliant journalists that cover the country widely and the hi-tech equipment used," said Kayleee Madison, one of the Carleton University students.
The students mingled and leant a lot from the Kigalitoday Ltd Staff during their visit.
For years, Carleton University has sent in journalism interns to different media Houses in Rwanda through the Rwanda initiative programme.
This particular group of students has spent one month in Rwanda, partnering with local journalists, to get details of how the Rwanda media operates.
The program will end on, 30th, May, 2014 and the students will return to Canada.

10 of Hollywood's Most Legendary "Troubled Productions"
This Friday, Paramount unleashes World War Z, the Brad Pitt-fronted zombie apocalypse tale that has been on the receiving end of an inordinate amount of pre-release bad buzz. Stories of third-act rewrites, tension between star and director, shifting release dates, and massive budget and schedule overruns have dominated WWZ's advance publicity, far more than anything of note about the film itself (which is unfortunate, as it's a frequently gripping and reasonably intelligent disaster flick). But that's nothing new in Hollywood; for decades we've been fascinated by stories of high-profile productions run amok, and by guessing whether those on-set woes would actually impact the final product. … Read More
'Jurassic Park': How a 2D Movie Becomes a 3D Movie
Today, moviegoers across the country will have the opportunity to see a 20-year-old movie on the big screen — and with an extra dimension to boot. Jurassic Park 3D is the latest case of a two-dimensional movie getting the three-dimensional (or "stereo") treatment, following in the footsteps of several Disney titles and last year's 3D re-release of Titanic. Since this is a new process, one that's not yet been painstakingly demystified by DVD extras and behind-the-scenes reports, it seems, frankly, to be some sort of witchcraft; how do they take a movie that was finished two decades ago and transform it into a 3D experience? Luckily, we were able to get William Sherak to break it down for us. … Read More
10 Iconic Films That Used Talent Doubles
A filmmaker's job is akin to that of a magician. Many films are just cleverly crafted fantasies devised to make us forget the miserable and mundane for two hours and transport us to a far away place. Movies are an illusion that audiences can't get enough of. So what happens when the veil is lifted, and we get to take a peek behind the curtain? We found out earlier this week when we spotted this video on io9 centering on fantasy cult film Labyrinth. In the 1986 movie, David Bowie's Goblin King can twirl a trio of crystal balls like no other, but the English musician can't take full credit for his magic skills. His talent double did all the behind-the-scenes work.
Thanks to a group of invisible performers who posses the skills and expertise in the fields of fine art, dance, and more, Hollywood stars get to look like believable pros on the big screen. See how some of films' most famous had a little help from their talent doubles,… Read More
James Cameron: No, There Was Not Room for Two on the 'Titanic' Raft
Aficionados of pop-culture conspiracy theories will be familiar with the Reddit-driven idea that Leonardo DiCaprio didn't have to die to save Kate Winslett in Titanic. Using a tape outline to approximate the size of the raft that carried Winslett's Rose to safety, an industrious redditor found that two human beings could easily fit in the space. But, since we all must answer to the Internet in 2012, an IGN interviewer recently asked Titanic director James Cameron to respond to the theory, and he's just not having it. "It's not a question of room, it's a question of buoyancy," says Cameron, reminding us that the raft flips over when Jack initially attempts to join Rose on it. So, that's settled. If you're still not satisfied, though, the filmmaker also mentions that he's planning to help Mythbusters debunk the rumor in a future episode. Watch the interview after the jump, and skip to 4:20 if you're only interested in the raft theory. … Read More

Los Angeles Clippers vs Minnesota Timberwolves: AccuScore Preview
- Updated: March 31, 2014
AccuScore has the Los Angeles Clippers as slight 57.7 percent favorites to win Monday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The average score after 10,000 simulations is 109-106, with Minnesota having a 50.6 percent chance of covering the +3.5 spread. While both teams have a fairly equal probability at a close win (4 points or less), the Clippers have nearly three times the chance of the Timberwolves at a big win (10 points or more).
Keep in mind, these simulations were done with a healthy Blake Griffin in the lineup. At the time of publishing, Blake Griffin was listed as a game-time-decision.

— Brad Turner (@BA_Turner) March 31, 2014
Projected Leaders
Blake Griffin: 22 points (53% FG), 9 rebounds, 3 assists
Chris Paul: 17 points (48% FG), 10 assists, 5 rebounds
Kevin Love: 26 points (42% FG), 14 rebounds, 3 assists
Kevin Martin: 19 points (41% FG), 3 rebounds
What to Watch For
Minnesota is No. 25 in the league in bench production, averaging just 26.8 points per game. In Sunday's loss against Brooklyn, the Timberwolves bench was outscored for the 50th time in 72 games. Unless Minnesota can match the firepower of the Jamal Crawford-led Clippers bench, Monday's game will be the 51st time in 73 games in which their bench has been outscored.

MLB Team Report - Detroit Tigers - INSIDE PITCH
The Tigers, a team in need of late-inning bullpen help, are making an interesting low-risk move in the minors.
Detroit, 7-3 winners over the White Sox on Monday, is having newly re-signed former Tiger Jeremy Bonderman, a starter throughout his career, pitch out of the Toledo Mud Hens' bullpen.
Bonderman worked a 1-2-3 eighth inning, including a strikeout, last Friday night in his first appearance for Triple-A Toledo.
The Tigers signed Bonderman to a minor league contract July 14 after he was designated for assignment by Seattle and cleared waivers. He was 1-3 with a 4.93 ERA for the Mariners.
GM Dave Dombrowski said Bonderman will work out of the bullpen for the time being.
The move couldn't have been a surprise to Bonderman, 30, who returned to baseball this season after missing two years due to arm and shoulder problems. Detroit had attempted to sign Bonderman last winter when it learned of his interest in returning to the game, but he chose Seattle because he lives in the state.
With five solid starters at this time, and lefty Jose Alvarez available in Toledo, the Tigers have no need for a starter. The need is bullpen help, particularly of the veteran kind.
Bonderman is a fastball/slider pitcher and attempts by Detroit to add a third pitch failed over the years. He went from Class A in 2002 to the Tigers in 2003 with just one return to the minors, a 14-game 2009 stint in which he made 11 relief appearances. Overall he was 67-77 with a 4.89 ERA in nine seasons with the Tigers.
He tended to lose it quickly with Detroit and when he did he got hit hard, another good reason for a switch to the bullpen.
Bonderman is coming off Tommy John surgery in April of 2012 and Detroit might be gambling he'll get more arm strength in his second season back from the operation. Consistency with his slider was an issue with Seattle and working shorter bursts might help that.
He's not on the 40-man roster, which isn't that important, and Bonderman might have been signed more for next year than this, but Detroit has nothing to lose signing a known commodity.
MLB Team Report - Detroit Tigers - NOTES, QUOTES
STREAK: Won two
NEXT: Tigers (Rick Porcello, 6-6, 4.80) at White Sox (Hector Santiago, 3-5, 3.30)
--3B Miguel Cabrera left the Tigers' 7-3 victory against the Chicago White Sox on Monday night at U.S. Cellular Field with one out in the bottom of the fifth inning with a hip flexor strain. Cabrera said he felt it while running from second to third on a two-run single by Victor Martinez and couldn't complete the inning in the field. Cabrera, who came into the game leading the major leagues with 134 hits, is currently being labeled day-to-day. "One thing we know about Miguel, he'll be back in there as soon as it's possible," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "We're not going to rush anything. We're going to wait and see. I think he's pretty sore right now. I saw him out in the clubhouse. I didn't really get a chance to talk to him, but we'll just see. And you know what, if he's got to miss a few games, he's got to miss a few games. Then you find out how tough you are."
--RHP Rick Porcello will take the mound first for the Tigers on Tuesday night against the Chicago White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field, opposed by LHP Hector Santiago. Porcello is 6-5 with a 4.92 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in 12 career starts against the White Sox, including a win in his last start before the All-Star break, on July 10 at Comerica Park in Detroit. The Tigers won that game 8-6 and Porcello went six innings, striking out six, walking none and allowing three runs (all earned) on seven hits. He threw 93 pitches, with 62 going for strikes.
--RHP Max Scherzer bumped his record to 14-1 on Monday night in a 7-3 Tigers victory against the Chicago White Sox. Scherzer was perfect through the first four innings and wound up going eight strong innings, allowing four hits and two solo home runs with no walks. "When you face a great pitcher like Sale, the one common denominator is you've got to pitch really good against him or you're probably going to get beaten ... and that's what Scherzer did for us," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said.
--2B Omar Infante was evaluated by the Detroit Tigers' athletic training staff prior to a 7-3 victory against the Chicago White Sox on Monday night at U.S. Cellular Field. Infante went on the disabled list July 4 with a sprained left ankle. Tigers manager Jim Leyland hopes that his starting second baseman is getting close to going on a minor league rehab assignment. "He was evaluated (Sunday) and was pretty good, but we're going to do some more evaluation (Monday) and we're hoping maybe we can get him out and have him ready for the weekend," Leyland said. "That might be wishful thinking."
--LHP Darin Downs threw in the bullpen Monday afternoon at U.S. Cellular Field with teammates standing in as if they were hitting against him. Downs has been on the disabled list since July 7 while recovering from left shoulder tendinitis in his rotator cuff.
--CF Austin Jackson came into Monday's game against the Chicago White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field mired in a month-long slump at the plate that appears to be getting worse. Jackson, the Tigers' leadoff hitter, came into the game hitting .204 with a .299 on-base percentage during the previous 23 games (19-for-93). He was hitting just .143 (5-for-35) with a .211 on-base percentage in his last nine games and was hitting just .091 (1-for-11) with a .167 on-base and .091 slugging percentage since the All-Star break. Against left-handed pitchers for the season, Jackson was hitting .169 (10-for-63) with a paltry .270 slugging percentage. Tigers manager Jim Leyland said Jackson might start working in batting practice against Ed Hodge, the left-handed batting practice pitcher they hired from the Houston Astros. "We're hoping to maybe tell (hitting coach Lloyd McClendon) to set some stuff up for Hodge to throw at him a little bit, because overall we've just got to get him going, that's all," Leyland said. "And he'll get it going."
--RHP Bruce Rondon gave up a run on a hit, wild pitch and balk in the ninth inning of a 7-3 Tigers win against the Chicago White Sox on Monday night, but he's steadily gaining the trust of Tigers manager Jim Leyland. The hard-throwing rookie reliever threw a scoreless eighth inning on Sunday in a victory against the Kansas City Royals and is helping Detroit's bullpen to become more stable of late. In his last five outings prior to Monday's game in Chicago, Rondon posted a 3.68 ERA in 7 1/3 innings, allowing nine hits and three walks with eight strikeouts. He appears to have come a long way since a rough major league debut in early May that earned him a quick demotion back to Triple-A Toledo. "He's taken baby steps, you know? He's doing fine," Leyland said. "He's taken some nice steps, but he's a young guy -- so you're going to get some positive steps and then a negative step once in a while. But hopefully the positives outweigh the negatives and it lets you get over the hump."
--DH Victor Martinez is starting to look more like the perennial All-Star hitter that he was before blowing out his knee in the winter before the 2012 season. Martinez came into a game against the Chicago White Sox on Monday night at U.S. Cellular Field hitting .397 (27-for-68) in July, with eight doubles, two homers and 11 RBIs in 17 games. Martinez then went 4-for-5 with three RBIs in the Tigers' 7-3 win on Monday night against the Chicago White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field. "He's huge," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "I thought he was one of the best RBI guys in baseball two years ago. I thought he was terrific and he didn't get them by way of the home run. There'll be some home runs that come by accident, but he (gets RBIs) because he puts good swings on balls and he gets big hits off good pitchers and he gets big hits off two strikes. That's why I think he's a great hitter."
QUOTE TO NOTE: "When he came in from scoring, his hip was acting up pretty good and the trainers talked to him. He tried to go back out there, but it was obviously just too much discomfort." -- Manager Jim Leyland on 3B Miguel Cabrera, who left Monday's game early.
MLB Team Report - Detroit Tigers - ROSTER REPORT
--3B Miguel Cabrera (hip) left the game July 22 early. He is currently being labeled day-to-day.
--2B Omar Infante (sprained left ankle, left shin contusion) went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to July 4. He was eligible to come off the disabled list July 19 but was running only about half-speed. "I pretty much knew he wasn't going to be ready," manager Jim Leyland said. "He's not ready, and I have no idea when (he will be)." The Tigers had hoped Infante would be ready by July 22 because Detroit was scheduled to face five left-handed starters in its next six games. But not being able to run full speed has kept Detroit from letting him make tune-up game appearances, although the organization hopes he's ready by mid-week.
--LHP Darin Downs (left shoulder rotator cuff tendinitis) went on the 15-day disabled list July 7. He has been throwing light bullpens at Detroit's spring training base in Lakeland, Fla., but no timetable has been set for his return.
--RHP Octavio Dotel (right elbow inflammation) went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to April 20, and he was transferred to the 60-day DL on June 8. Dotel has been unable to progress beyond light throwing or minimal mound work while working out at the club's spring training base in Lakeland, Fla. Time is running out on a possible return to the Tigers by next month. Dotel has been doing some long tossing and may try to start throwing bullpens again after building up some arm strength.

I've often fantasized about a young petite girl (Lexi Belle type) dressed up in an elf costume to service Santa with everything he wants like a good little Santa's helper. I'm married though, so unless Mrs Clause gives me a hot little helper as a present, not likely to happen. One can dream though.

After Hurricane Katrina tore through New Orleans, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers direly predicted that it would take months to pump the water out of the city. Within a few days, though, the Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans (SWBNO), founded in 1903, had restarted most of its 24 pumping stations and the water was receding. Within about three weeks, the city was mostly pumped out and ready to enter the next phase of its recovery.
Restarting the pumps and getting the potable water supply and sewers operating again has taken heroic efforts on the part of SWBNO staff, led by executive director Marcia St. Martin. National Public Radio reported that not one of the 1200 employees of the SWBNO abandoned their posts during the hurricane. By Oct. 6, only five weeks after Katrina, the SWBNO lifted the boil alert for all areas west of the Industrial Canal. New Orleans may never be quite the same, but as SWBNO starts into its second century, the city knows it will do its best and more to keep the waters at bay.

OTTAWA — The proposed Northern Gateway pipeline's deep unpopularity in British Columbia may have provided a motivation for Prime Minister Stephen Harper's West Coast MPs to convince the government to distance itself from the project, suggests a poll released Friday.
The Abacus Data Inc. poll reveals a deep wedge between Alberta and B.C., two political pillars of Harper's majority government, and suggests a growing distance between Alberta and the rest of the country.
The online poll of 2,099 Canadians also indicates that a majority in the country, with the notable exception of Albertans, supports B.C. Premier Christy Clark's call for a better financial payoff to offset the environmental risk posed by the $6-billion oilsands pipeline, according to the poll.
And it shows that Canadians outside Alberta, and especially British Columbians, don't buy the federal government's argument that the entire country benefits from oilsands expansion.
A surprising 41 per cent of B.C. respondents who voted Conservative in 2011 said they don't support the project that's now before a federal regulatory panel.
The pipeline debate "is dividing not only eastern and western Canada, but also the populations of the country's two western neighbours, whose people are more divided on the issue than ever before," Abacus chief executive David Coletto wrote in his analysis of the results.
Coletto, pollster for the right-leaning Sun News Network, said his findings offer an explanation for the government's recent effort to distance itself from the project.
James Moore, Harper's senior B.C. minister, was harshly critical of Northern Gateway a few weeks after a U.S. regulator's devastating report in July labelled Enbridge a "Keystone Kops" company due its handling of a massive 2010 spill in Michigan.
Harper followed with a statement in Vancouver earlier this month saying science, rather than politics, will determine whether the project gets the federal go-ahead.
"While it is unclear whether the Conservative caucus in B.C. advocated for a softening of the Harper government's position on Northern Gateway, our data clearly demonstrates their motivation to do so," Coletto wrote on the iPolitics website Friday.
The Harper government faces a challenge both in convincing Canadians of the benefits of pipelines, and maintaining his party's long-standing dominance in B.C., according to Coletto.
Nationally, three in 10 respondents (31 per cent) backed the pipeline, down seven points from an Abacus poll in January with a similar question. The percentage of respondents against the project rose three points to 32 per cent. The remaining respondents were unsure.
But positions were much more firm in the two western provinces. A total of 63 per cent of Albertans were "somewhat" or "strongly" in favour, compared with just 17 per cent against. In B.C., a country-leading 56 per cent were against, compared with just 24 per cent in favour.
The gap was even more stark among those with firm positions — just seven per cent of B.C. respondents were "strongly" in favour, while 40 per cent were "strongly" opposed.
"All this adds up to a potentially big mess for the federal government," Coletto wrote in his analysis.
"One part of its base, Alberta, supports the pipeline while another part (British Columbia) is deeply opposed. As the rest of the country continues to make up its mind, Stephen Harper and the Conservative government will have to find a way to manage this difficult issue."
In an email interview Coletto said the Harper government's majority could be at risk in a 2015 election unless he successfully distances his government from the project in B.C.
The Tories currently hold 21 of 36 seats, and B.C. — like Alberta — will become even more important in 2015 with the addition of six new seats — the majority of them in traditional Conservative territory.
"I do think the Tories are risking support if they remain adamantly supportive of the pipeline," Coletto said.
Harper's government "needs all its seats in B.C. to keep its majority. If 2015 is about energy and the government doesn't sell the importance of the oilsands and energy transportation to Canadians, look out."
The Abacus survey of 2,099 Canadians was drawn from an online panel of 150,000 Canadians. The company weighted data so respondents reflected Canadian census statistics in terms of factors such as age and gender. The survey was conducted Aug. 10-12 and included an extra-large sample from B.C. totalling 793 respondents.

Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet Review: Beautiful slate hardware meets Android
The Xperia Z2 Tablet is a successor to last year's Xperia Tablet Z, and like what we're seeing in Sony's smartphone range, the device is an incremental update to what came before. Like the Tablet Z, the Z2 Tablet is fully water resistant, packs a 10.1-inch WUXGA display, and is under 7mm thick. The most significant update is the specification bump to Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 801 SoC, plus there's an improved camera and a sizable weight reduction.

Acer Iconia W4 Tablet Review: Improves on the W3 but not quite there yet
We've seen a flurry of 8-inch Windows 8.1 tablets hit the market over the past several months, including the Toshiba Encore and the Lenovo Miix 2 8 (no, that isn't a typo). Neither of these systems was terribly impressive, but that doesn't mean you should give up on Windows 8.1 slates just yet.
Next up to the plate is the Acer Iconia W4, the follow-up to the company's first Windows 8.1 tablet, featuring an 8.0-inch 1,280 x 800 display and the same quad-core Intel "Bay Trail" Atom Z3740 SoC that we've seen from the competition.
