Video: Diddy-Dirty Money – 'Coming Home'
Diddy does some soul searching in the desert in the Rich Lee-directed video for "Coming Home," the Alex Da Kid-produced single off Diddy-Dirty Money's star-studded album Last Train to Paris (Dec. 14). Wandering through the arid landscape, Puff happens upon the remnants of a burned house and the shell of an old car, with Dawn and Kalenna trailing behind him. The trio reunites in the end, zipping away in a helicopter.
Kalenna told Rap-Up.com how the triumphant track came into the group's hands. "One day Puff walked in and he was like, 'I got something for you guys. I got a gift that's crazy. Oh my God.' And I was like, 'Yeah, right,'" she said. "And he put it on and he was just like, 'You think we can get it done tonight?' It was a gift. It was like unwrapping a gift that was dropped in our lap."
Celebrate their homecoming below.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) -- Kansas is seen as hostile political territory for Democratic President Barack Obama, but part of the crowd at a Topeka event featuring first lady Michelle Obama booed Republican Gov. Sam Brownback.
The first lady spoke Friday at a ceremony honoring Topeka's high school graduates. Brownback shared the stage with her, along with Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins and other local dignitaries.
Former U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius also was on stage and received loud cheers, as did the first lady. Sebelius is a former two-term governor.
But when Brownback was introduced, cheers and applause for him were matched by booing.
Barack Obama received only 38 percent of the vote in Kansas when he was re-elected president in 2012. Brownback is a frequent critic of the administration's policies.

Long summer days mean long fasting periods during Ramadan
BY SUSAN DEMAR LAFFERTY Sun-Times Media August 1, 2011 7:18PM
Badie Ali, executive vice president of MPI Media Group, reads from the koran in his office on the first day of Ramadan in Orland Park, Illinois, Monday, August, 1, 2011. | Joseph P. Meier~Sun-Times Media
Updated: November 14, 2011 12:17AM
The fasting from dawn to sunset that is required of observant Muslims during Ramadan seemingly would be more challenging when the holy month falls during the summer.
The days are longer, the weather hotter, thirst more unrelenting.
But Badie Ali, of Orland Park, doesn't see it that way. He calls it an opportunity rather than a challenge. "I could sneak a sip of water, but I don't because I know God is watching," Ali, 28, said.
Not even a swig of water is allowed during daylight hours during Ramadan, which officially began Sunday night. But once the sun goes down, Ali will down a lot of water to prepare for the next day.
All healthy Muslims abstain from food, drink, sexual relations and nicotine during Ramadan, with the fast broken at sunset each night with a meal known as "iftar," traditionally begun by consuming a date to commemorate the Prophet Mohammed's habit.
Ramadan begins about 10 days earlier every year because the holiday is based on the shorter lunar calendar. So it's now beginning when daylight lasts about 16 hours — and when temperatures around here regularly have been in the 90s.
"The heat really puts the burden on thirst," said Shaykh Kifah Mustapha, imam of The Mosque Foundation in Bridgeview. "Very few people complain about not eating, but many complain about the thirst."
While fasting is a bit harder in the summer months, "It is not impossible," said Rafeeq Jaber, 61, of Oak Lawn.
"It is psychological. It's a matter of determination and will power."
Manal Abdellatif, of Alsip, knows she will have a difficult time not drinking water during the day, but her family tries to keep cool and avoid salty foods so they won't become too thirsty.
"I think I had five big cups of cold water this morning at 4 a.m.," she said on Monday, the first day of fasting. "[Before dawn] we usually have dates, some milk, maybe a fruit like a banana, and some protein as well."
Those fasting agreed the first few days are the hardest, but after that, their bodies have adjusted and fasting becomes easier. The days also get shorter as the sun starts to set earlier, if only by a minute or so per day.
"Some people are sad when the month is done," said Saqib Mohajir, of Orland Park. "It's really a spiritual high. You went through this struggle and now everything is easier."

And manage to stay there. 2 years ago
10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.

How I did it: I was determined in my final year of uni to get a 1st class degree. I succeeded. I thought it had opened doors for me, and I was right. I applied in January for an MSt in Literature but was recommended for the Women's Studies course instead. I went for it, and I got it. I worked hard at university, I threw myself into volunteering, and I outlined exactly what I wanted to do in my personal statement. That's what you need to do this. Read how I did it… 3 years ago

1st off I don't need a stim break, what I need's to find something that works better for me. I had a solid 2 months without any stims a few months ago. When I came back to PWO's they still didn't really do anything to me. I have over half a container of N.O Xplode 2.0 and don't want to just throw it out. I took 2 scoops last night and I noticed a slight bump in energy over the times a single scoop. Would there be any reason I shouldn't take 3?

A social media campaign to raise money for the EAA Young Eagles has been launched by STS Aviation Group, a conglomeration of aviation service companies. Their goal is to raise $2,000, which will help EAA Young Eagles provide the American Youth with free flights and an introduction into the world of aviation.
With the support of EAA Young Eagles, STS is launching a social media campaign through Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, in order to raise money and spread awareness of the unique opportunities that EAA offers to the American youth. STS Aviation Group has made it simple and quick for those who are willing to help. For each new "like," follow, and connection STS receives on their Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn pages, STS will donate $1 to EAA Young Eagles. To make it even easier, STS has four different LinkedIn profiles that all count for the campaign: Component Solutions, AeroStaff Services, Engineering Solutions, and Line Maintenance.
The social media campaign got underway at the beginning of February and continue throughout the month. The goal is to raise $2,000 for EAA Young Eagles. Though the goal is ambitious, the company would like to stress that every little bit helps.
Philip Anson Jr., CEO of STS Aviation Group, stated, "STS is very excited for the opportunity to partner up with EAA and the Young Eagles to help promote America's youth to find their love and passion for aviation. We believe it is never too early to introduce someone to airplanes, and STS looks forward to continuing its involvement with the Young Eagles and other organizations like it to continue to build upon a solid base of young people who are being exposed to some aspect of the aviation industry."
To contribute to STS Aviation Group's campaign, you can like their Facebook page, follow them on Twitter, or connect with them on any of their four LinkedIn profiles: Components Solutions, AeroStaff Services, Engineering Solutions, or Line Maintenance.

Tuesday 23 Dec 2014
By Martin Bailey. Conservation, Issue 223, April 2011Published online: 07 April 2011
LONDON. African art specialists are questioning the recent conservation of Ife sculptures in Madrid in preparation for an international touring exhibition. They are concerned that Spanish conservators applied an inappropriate coating intended to protect the sculptures during the tour and after they are returned to Nigeria, and might even have removed ancient surface patina.
John Picton, a professor at the University of London's School of Oriental and African Studies and former deputy director of the National Museum in Lagos, says that the ancient brass heads have developed "a shiny surface". Other specialists have also expressed concerns about the treatment by conservators at the Instituto del Patrimonio Cultural de España (Spanish Cultural Heritage Institute)."Dynasty and Divinity: Ife Art in Ancient Nigeria" includes some of the finest sculptures ever produced in Africa. It is the most important show ever mounted about Ife culture and is now at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (until 22 May). Last year it was at the Fundación Botín in Santander, the Museo de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in Madrid, the British Museum and Houston's Museum of Fine Arts.Pre-conservation condition of the worksBefore their conservation in Spain, the Ife sculptures had not been well cared for in Nigeria, where conservation and storage facilities are generally inadequate. One important aspect of the international tour is to generate funds and offer training opportunities for Nigerians—when the exhibition visited London in 2010, conservators from Lagos were involved in the installation of the show. When the sculptures were first shown to the curators of the touring exhibition, some of the finest pieces were brought out and placed on an inappropriate piece of foam on the floor of the National Museum in Lagos. Some sculptures had spatters of modern white paint—consistent with the type used on gallery walls. Most of the works in the exhibition catalogue were photographed before conservation, and a granite figure of a crocodile has traces of white paint visible around its front foot (cat 12). Some stone sculptures had been displayed out of doors in Ife, including a very tall stylised shield and a sword (cats 9-10). These had been buried in a courtyard of the museum, as they would have been traditionally. A finely carved figure of the gatekeeper deity Idena, possibly 12th century, had been cemented into a plant pot to provide a display stand. It was shipped in one piece to the British Museum, where the planter was safely removed (cat 8).Dating from the 12th to 15th centuries, most of the 100 pieces had never left Nigeria before. In 2009 many of them were sent to Madrid for conservation. Although the Instituto del Patrimonio Cultural de España's conservators are highly respected, they have had relatively little experience of West African art. Among the most important Ife loans are 20 heads and figures in copper alloy (brass), and these are the sculptures that have generated most concern. Surface wax, which had been applied as a moisture barrier at various times in the 20th century, was removed, which may have led to the loss of any original surface coverings from antiquity. After cleaning, an anti-corrosion inhibitor, Benzotriazole (BTA), was applied, but this has the effect of making metal appear shiny, particularly under direct lighting. The BTA coating protects the brass from humidity. But, critics say, more consideration should have been given to environmental conditions during the tour and in the National Museum in Lagos (where the works have mostly been kept in recent years, following a spate of thefts at the Ife museum).On top of the BTA, Spanish conservators added a layer of Incralac, an acrylic coating for copper alloys that dulls the surface. This coating tends to dissipate with handling, although it can be reapplied.The Instituto del Patrimonio Cultural de España says the treatment is "easily reversible". It also believes that the visual impact of the sculptures "stayed the same or was improved".All the conservation work was approved by Nigeria's National Commission for Museums and Monuments, which owns the collection.Mayo Adediran, Nigeria's director of museums, stresses that BTA is a protective coating. It does not affect the metal, its effects are reversible, and he believes the "best options" have been taken to conserve the sculptures. But he added: "If it turns out the objects have a 'shiny surface', it calls for a further investigation on the quantity and mode of application of Incralac on the BTA. We shall carefully look into all complaints and find solutions if they are necessary." Enid Schildkrout, the New York-based curator of "Dynasty and Divinity", has looked again at the conservation process. She said: "I am quite certain there has been no damage. The appearance of the sculptures may have changed with the various treatments, including the former applications of waxes and the BTA coating, but it is important to protect them from humidity. Whether a shiny surface matches the intentions of the makers is an interesting, but probably unanswerable, question. It's a matter of taste, and raises the question of whose taste: that of the maker, the owner or viewer." The show, "Dynasty and Divinity", travels to the Indianapolis Museum of Art (8 July-15 January 2012) and to New York's Museum for African Art in 2012

Digital edition: the complete latest issue, exactly as it was printed
The Art Newspaper TV: reports, interviews and features
There are some probable inaccuracies in the description of the conservation treatment as presented in this article. Incralac is mainly an acrylic resin, and contains a small amount of benzotriazole (BTA) to help extend the life of the film itself. In the past, conservators have assumed that the BTA added a measure of corrosion protection of the bronze to which it was applied. BTA is more commonly applied as a dilute solution in alcohol, to help control "bronze disease". The white crystals that form are brushed off, and then the surface is coated with Incralac or Paraloid B-48n. This usually results in high gloss. A second application, containing a matting agent, is sometimes used to reduce the gloss. More often, a microcrystalline wax is used to further protect the coating and to adjust the gloss. These coatings generally remain reversible, although cross-linking can make removal difficult in years to come. Properly maintained environmental control is the preferred option if feasible.
Restoration values are highly subjective and vary between nationalities. for example Italian restorers prefer to 'hatch' restored areas in paintings so that re-constructed elements can be clearly seen, whereas in the UK a 'good as new' approach is more common, in a sense re-constructing damage or missing areas invisibly.
That cultural imperatives count is not news to restorers, nor that the marks of an artifacts existence speak volumes about the object, they are part of its story. White emulsion paint from a hasty installation is no less relevant than the equivalent spatter of BTA from Spanish restorers.
To talk of inappropriate foam however, that is just symptomatic of how anal people can get about their profession and the condescending attitudes that a slavish belief in technology can foster ~ "we love their art but they shouldn't be allowed to keep it until they are as good as us".
We may wish that the arts is a highly sophisticated business, but truth is, most is made messily.

I think that the reason for war is that the rebellion maybe collapsing and at that point all the countries that have put so much effort and investment into this rebel coalition of death squads, terrorists, al-Nusra and so forth, they are confronted with the fact that their entire tactic may fail..."
This is a propagation and it is a diversion. I think it all started around midweek when al-Khatib, the head of the Syrian National Coalition, the new puppet group not the old one but the new one, said that he wanted to have talks with the Assad government. He said let's start negotiations with Assad and in that point things began to happen around the world.
Now all of that doesn't exactly help the Syrian National Coalition and the Free Syrian Army because they are acutely embarrassed because now it is clear who they are. They are in a united front with Israel, they are the infantry of the Israeli defense forces-- very, very embarrassing for them.

Sarah Palins book deal
By Jessica Schneider May 16, 2009, 14:39 GMT
Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin speaks to a gathering of the press after voting at the Wasilla City Hall in Alaska, USA on Election Day 04 November 2008. Democratic candidate Barack Obama is running against Republican candidate John McCain for the office of president of the United States. EPA/CARL AUER
The AP notes that former running VP candidate Sarah Palin has a book deal in the works. The article notes that the book will become available in spring of 2010.
Although the book has yet to be titled, the AP notes that the book: will cover her personal and political life, from her childhood in Alaska and last year's campaign to her political beliefs and her family life, including the pregnancy of her teenage daughter, Bristol Palin, who gave birth in December to a baby boy, Tripp.
Palin refers to herself as a voracious reader though voters might recall back when asked in a CBS interview with Katie Couric what sorts of magazines and newspapers she read to get her news, Palin responded with, Oh all of them.
Fans believe she is a woman of her word. Palin has never written a book and her critics, noting her disjointed CBS interviews with Katie Couric, have questioned whether she could, the article also notes.
Readers should visit the full AP article here.

Providing a Creative Home for Playwrights and Community Collaborations
Passage is committed to developing provocative new plays by emerging and established playwrights, and through community collaboration.
Passage's own Play Lab has produced some of the most popular plays each season since 2010, and earned the theatre national and regional recognition for its developmental work. Love and Communication won the 2011 Brown Martin Philadelphia Award for "plays that increase our insight into the life experience of members of our global community by sensitively portraying unique perspectives of gender, age, ethnicity, occupation, religion, or other categories of experience."
Passage's Community Lights Project created 2010's Trenton Lights, based on interviews with Trenton residents past and present, and is currently developing a new play about Trenton's racial relations for the 2013-4 season.
(Photo right) Juliana Zinkel (foreground) and Chris Stack (background) in Love and Communication, a play developed in Passage's Play Lab by Princeton-resident Jim Christy, and directed by Trenton-resident Adam Immerwhar.

Just wanted to share my story in case anyone is going through it now - my daughter was born at 30 weeks, 2.5 lb, after I developed severe preeclampsyia / HELLP syndrome. We were able to make it about 4 days before she was delivered by C-section. She was in the NICU for 57 days. I drove into the city every day to see her (1 hour each way), while pumping every 3 hours - madness! Everyone would say, oh good, you can get some rest now before she comes home - yeah right! I basically had the round-the-clock feedings without the baby, while also spending 8 hours a day traveling or in the hospital! I had to take my maternity leave while she was in the hospital so when she came home I used 3 weeks of vacation and then had to work full-time again - while taking care of a newborn preemie... She had trouble latching since we had to give her supplemented bottles - so I was pumping and also giving her bottles. Luckily I was able to work from home but still, trying to get 8 hours of work done while spending about 8 hours a day either pumping or giving a bottle, and also not getting any sleep since my husband leaves for work at 5am for 14-hr days so I didn't want to make him get up in the night... it was insanity and I have no idea how we did it!! But it was worth it!!
The first 3 months after she came home were really tough but then if you can survive for 3 mos, most babies settle into a schedule and become less demanding and more into sleeping Now she is almost 1, she has been growing and learning so much. We had to go to specialists - eye checks, neurologist, hemangioma (she has 1 on her head that ulcerated at 6 mos)- I've been into Boston's Children's hospital about 12 times since she came home. We've worked with Early Intervention to keep her on track with her development. She's clearly behind other babies the same chronological age, but she's on track for her corrected age. She's so much fun and I love being a mommy!
If anyone is going through this, just know that babies are born early all the time and there has been so much advancement in medicine that it's amazing what they can do - the stories in the NICU about babies born way earlier & half her size shocked me, some of them are 20 yrs old now! She's healthy and happy now and it all goes by so fast, before you know it your baby is home
Happy Birthday and welcome to the Preemie Board! We have a blog where many of us have shared our own personal stories about how we wound up as preemie parents. If you'd like your story to be included feel free to e-mail me at icedpeonies at yahoo dot com. The blog link can be found at the top of the Preemie Board.
I think it's really important to remember when sharing our stories that each preemie is different. While many go on to be 300 lb repairmen (like the dude my landlord sends who was born at 1.5 lbs) there are many who don't make it or have deeper complications that last the rest of their lives. GA doesn't matter...I've seen 26 weekers sail through NICU while a 36 weeker stays for months.
There are all kinds of mothers on this board with a wide variety of current preemie ages - each with a unique story.
I hope you will stick around and get to know us better.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt
My name is Bones!
Facts about Bones
- Breed: Hound (Unknown Type) Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With White
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Bones's Info...
I am good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Hi there, my name is Bones! I came in as an owner surrender after my owner could no longer afford to keep me. My owner loves me and wants to give me the best life possible, so they hope I can find a loving home that can and will love me for the rest of my life! I am a great boy who loves to run around and play, dig holes, and do all the things that dogs love to do. I really enjoy children, so I'd love to find a family that had children for me to play with. I will be available for adoption on 2/14/13, so please come see me today!
Act quickly to adopt Bones. Pets at this Shelter may be held for only a short time.
Other Pets at Okefenokee Humane Society
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Bones, a Waycross Hound (Unknown Type) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Hound (Unknown Type) for sale in Waycross, or seeking a Hound (Unknown Type) dog from a breeder in Waycross.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Waycross already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Waycross breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Hound (Unknown Type) breeders who help with Hound (Unknown Type) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Waycross paves the way for another one to be saved.

In the fall of 1961, the home of General Grenville M. Dodge was designated a National Historic Landmark. This special honor was bestowed upon the home of General GM Dodge, not because of the house itself, but rather because of the man who lived in it. To achieve this designation the site must have local, state, and national significance. The General's home was not only the first national landmark in Council Bluffs, but is the only registered National Historic Landmark in the city. Currently there are 24 National Historic Landmarks in Iowa; the Historic General Dodge House has the distinction of being the second site in the state of Iowa to receive this honor.
The only Registered National Historic Landmark in Council Bluffs

Hack and / - Manage Multiple Servers Efficiently
Kyle Rankin is a director of engineering operations in the San Francisco Bay Area, the author of a number of books including DevOps Troubleshooting and The Official Ubuntu Server Book, and is a columnist for Linux Journal.
Other Alternatives
I found myself writing that same for loop and using cluster type tools to manage multiple windows as well.
The for loop takes a long time to do anything significant on a large number of machines since it runs serially (and is a pain if one or more of the hosts happens to be down).
The multiple windows solution only scales as far as your screen size (assuming you are checking results as you type).
Then I ran across shmux (http://web.taranis.org/shmux/) which works like the for loop solution, but tackles hosts in parallel while tracking errors and keeping logs.
The author lists quite a few more alternatives at the bottom of his web page as well.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Impact of anastomotic leakage on long-term survival after total gastrectomy for carcinoma of the stomach.
Summary of "Impact of anastomotic leakage on long-term survival after total gastrectomy for carcinoma of the stomach."
: Recent studies suggest that anastomotic leak may adversely affect long-term survival in patients undergoing surgery for gastrointestinal malignancies. Data relating to total gastrectomy for gastric cancer are scarce.
: An electronic database of all patients with resectable gastric cancer treated between January 1999 and December 2004 at seven university surgical centres cooperating in the Polish Gastric Cancer Study Group was reviewed.
: Anastomotic leakage was diagnosed in 41 (5.9 per cent) of 690 patients who underwent total gastrectomy. The prevalence of surgical and general complications, and mortality rates were significantly higher in patients diagnosed with anastomotic leakage. The only two independent risk factors for leakage were Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 2 or 3 (odds ratio 5.09, 95 per cent confidence interval (c.i.) 2.29 to 11.32) and splenectomy (odds ratio 2.58, 95 per cent c.i. 1.08 to 6.13). Two Cox proportional hazards models including all the patients and excluding in-hospital deaths identified anastomotic leakage as an independent predictor of survival with hazard ratios of 3.47 (95 per cent c.i. 1.82 to 6.64) and 3.14 (1.51-6.53) respectively.
: The occurrence of anastomotic leakage was a major independent prognostic factor for long-term survival. Copyright (c) 2010 British Journal of Surgery Society Ltd. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Babe Ruth baseball: Crown Point, Schererville to play for state title
BY ANTHONY NASELLA Post-Tribune correspondent July 19, 2013 11:34PM
CROWN POINT — The early innings of Friday night's 13-year old Babe Ruth winners' bracket championship game between Crown Point and Logansport turned out to be a comedy of errors that appeared to easily place the Red one step closer to a state championship.
Crown Point scored five of its seven runs compliments of Logansport miscues in the infield and outfield — but then had some mistakes of its own in the later innings and almost handed the game back to Logansport before finally prevailing 7-5.
But the final out was recorded on a solid defensive putout from Crown Point center fielder Adam Regan, who forced an advancing runner at second base. In the third inning, Regan's running down a fly ball with the bases loaded denied Logansport three runs.
The win lifts Crown Point to today's 3 p.m. contest against Schererville, which defeated Travelers 3-1. With Schererville having already lost a game in State and Crown Point still undefeated, and Red victory will give the team the State Championship.
"It was ugly, but it was a win," Crown Point coach Scott Angel said. "And good teams find a way to win when they don't play their best game. That's what it took tonight. We got just enough good defense when we needed it that last inning. Regan had two big plays and none bigger for that last out.
"If everybody makes their plays, it's probably a 2-1 game. But we're in a great spot: Somebody has to come and beat us twice, but we still have to come out and execute. I'm looking for us to come out and swing the bat the better tomorrow. Maybe the five days off had something to do with our struggle tonight."
Crown Point scored its first two runs on a shortstop error with the bases loaded, scoring Jacob DeFries and George Babchuk. Jacob Loosemoor's single in the fifth inning extended the lead to 3-1 and three unearned runs extended the lead to 6-1.
After Logansport cut the deficit to 6-3 after five innings, Kevin Georges doubled in the sixth inning to extend the lead to 7-3. An error and two walks set up a two-run double by Dusten Wilson to cut the Crown Point lead to 7-5. Georges pitched a solid sixth and seventh to preserve the win.
Andrew Mild pitched the first three innings, giving up one run and two hits and striking out four batters. Logansport tacked on two runs in fifth inning compliments of pair of errors by relief pitcher George Babchuk — though Logansport stranded two base runners.
In the early game, Schererville advanced to play Crown Point behind the pitching and bat of Doug Visnack. He pitched a complete game for his team and added a two-run, go-ahead home run in the third inning.

Apple begins takeback program to replace third-party USB chargers
Apple will initiate a USB Power Adapter Takeback Program on August 16, 2013 in response to recent safety issues with some counterfeit USB power adapters for iOS devices.
To qualify for a new specially priced US$10 Apple USB power adapter, you must bring your third-party adapter and your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to an Apple Retail Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. The retailers will validate the serial numbers and you can buy one adapter for each iOS device you bring in until October 18, 2013. Not all Apple Authorized Service Providers may be participating in the buyback program, so check Apple's site for potential locations.
Customer safety is a top priority at Apple. That's why all our products - including USB power adapters for iPhone and iPad - undergo rigorous testing for safety and reliability and are designed to meet government safety standards around the world.
According to Apple's Takeback Program announcement, "Apple Retail and Apple Authorized Service Providers cannot advise you on the authenticity or safety of your adapter." They will simply replace any suspect USB power adapter with which you may have safety concerns.
Apple has also posted information on how to identify an Apple USB power adapter, but counterfeits can look amazingly similar, so when in doubt, replacement is advised. The green dot on Apple USB power adapters was added in 2008 to differentiate new products, after a recall for adapters sold with the iPhone 3G, as reported by MacRumors on September 19th, 2008.

An adenoma (from Greek αδένας, adeno-, "gland" + -ώμα, -oma, "tumor") (/ˌædɨˈnoʊmə/; plural adenomas or adenomata /ˌædɨˈnoʊmɨtə/) is a benign tumor of epithelial tissue with glandular origin, glandular characteristics, or both. Adenomas can grow from many glandular organs, including the adrenal glands, pituitary gland, thyroid, prostate, and others. Some adenomas grow from epithelial tissue in nonglandular areas but express glandular tissue structure (as can happen in familial polyposis coli). Although adenomas are benign, over time they may transform to become malignant, at which point they are called adenocarcinomas. Even while benign, they have the potential to cause serious health complications by compressing other structures (mass effect) and by producing large amounts of hormones in an unregulated, non-feedback-dependent manner (causing paraneoplastic syndromes). Some adenomas are too small to be seen macroscopically but can still cause clinical symptoms.
Adenoma is a benign tumor of glandular tissue, such as the mucosa of stomach, small intestine, and colon, in which tumor cells form glands or gland like structures. In hollow organs (digestive tract), the adenoma grows into the lumen - adenomatous polyp or polypoid adenoma. Depending on the type of the insertion base, adenoma may be pedunculated (lobular head with a long slender stalk) or sessile (broad base).
The adenomatous proliferation is characterized by different degrees of cell dysplasia (atypia or loss of normal differentiation of epithelium) irregular cells with hyperchromatic nuclei, (pseudo)stratified nuclei, nucleolus, decreased mucosecretion, and mitosis. The architecture may be tubular, villous, or tubulo-villous. Basement membrane and muscularis mucosae are intact.
Adenomas of the colon, also called adenomatous polyps, are quite prevalent. They are found commonly at colonoscopy. They are removed because of their tendency to become malignant and to lead to colon cancer.
This is a tumor that is most often small and asymptomatic, and is derived from renal tubules. It may be a precursor lesion to renal carcinoma.
Adrenal adenomas are common, and are often found on the abdomen, usually not as the focus of investigation; they are usually incidental findings. About one in 10,000 is malignant. Thus, a biopsy is rarely called for, especially if the lesion is homogeneous and smaller than 3 centimeters. Follow-up images in three to six months can confirm the stability of the growth.
While some adrenal adenomas do not secrete hormones at all, often some secrete cortisol, causing Cushing's syndrome, aldosterone causing Conn's syndrome, or androgens causing hyperandrogenism.
About one in 10 people is found to have solitary thyroid nodules. Investigation is required because a small percentage of these is malignant. Biopsy usually confirms the growth to be an adenoma, but, sometimes, excision at surgery is required, especially when the cells found at biopsy are of the follicular type.
Pituitary adenomas are seen in 10% of neurological patients. A lot of them remain undiagnosed. Treatment is usually surgical, to which patients generally respond well. The most common subtype, prolactinoma, is seen more often in women, and is frequently diagnosed during pregnancy as the hormone progesterone increases its growth. Medical therapy with cabergoline or bromocriptine generally suppresses prolactinomas; progesterone antagonist therapy has not proven to be successful.
An adenoma of a parathyroid gland may secrete inappropriately high amounts of parathyroid hormone and thereby cause primary hyperparathyroidism.
See Hepatocellular adenoma. Hepatic adenomas are a rare benign tumour of the liver, which may present with hepatomegaly or other symptoms.
Breast adenomas are called fibroadenomas. They are often very small and difficult to detect. Often there are no symptoms. Treatments can include a needle biopsy, and/or removal.
Adenomas can also appear in the appendix. The condition is extremely rare. The most common version is called cystadenoma. They are usually discovered in the course of examination of the tissue following an appendectomy. If the appendix has ruptured and a tumor is present, this presents challenges, especially if malignant cells have formed and thus spread to the abdomen.
Bronchial adenomas are adenomas in the bronchi. They may cause carcinoid syndrome, a type of paraneoplastic syndrome.[1]
A sebaceous adenoma is a cutaneous condition characterized by a slow-growing tumour usually presenting as a pink, flesh-coloured, or yellow papule or nodule.
Also major and minor salivary gland adenomas are common; the parotid gland adenomas are more frequent tends to become adenocarcinomas.
A physician's response to detecting an adenoma in a patient will vary according to the type and location of the adenoma among other factors.[citation needed] Different adenomas will grow at different rates, but typically physicians can anticipate the rates of growth because some types of common adenomas progress similarly in most patients.[citation needed] Two common responses are removing the adenoma with surgery and then monitoring the patient according to established guidelines.[citation needed]
One common example of treatment is the response recommended by specialty professional organizations upon removing adenomatous polyps from a patient. In the common case of removing one or two of these polyps from the colon from a patient with no particular risk factors for cancer, thereafter the best practice is to resume surveillance colonoscopy after 5–10 years rather than repeating it more frequently than the standard recommendation.[2][3][4]

Remember the old library circulation counter? It ranged over a sizable portion of first floor and encompassed checkin and checkout processes, along with many, many bookcarts. Now that the new checkin area has been constructed, the counter is downsizing. The rest of us only wish that we could achieve a leaner, trimmer silhouette this quickly.
Speaking of cosmetic changes, the wall surrounding the checkin area should be receiving its surface and paint before long. Before all is said and done, the slots you'll use to return your materials will be framed and finished. Looking through one of them today, you can see not only the rough edges remaining but also a hint of the activity behind the wall.
Only a couple of weeks remain, and we hope you've been watching our progress and are looking forward to seeing the updated and re-purposed library space in November. We promise that the new version of the counter will be standing upright and looking good by then. In the meantime, just keep track of that library card so that it and you will ready for our re-opening!
