For years Patrick Jane has served as an independent consultant for the California Bureau of Investigation, earning a reputation for unusual methods and disregard for protocol -- not to mention his former career as a ``psychic'' -- while using his link with the department to hunt Red John, the serial killer who murdered his wife and daughter. When a scandal causes the dissolution of the CBI team, he goes to Mexico, until tracked down by the FBI and drawn into their fold to help solve crimes once again with his acute powers of observation. With negotiations he secures jobs there for his associates, Theresa Lisbon and Kimball Cho.

From the cold, unforgiving Hip-Hop scene that has earned Toronto the title "Screw-Face Capital", Concept Q (born Quincy O'neil McCollin) emerges as a voice to take heed to. Originally from the Jane and Finch area of the city, Concept grew up on the move, always adapting to new environments due to his unstable home situation, and the only constants in his life since childhood have been God, family and music. From as early as he can remember, he says, Concept has had an expansive understanding of music, thanks to his mother playing all time periods and genres - from Beethoven or Mozart to DeBarge or Smokey Robinson, BB King, Michael Jackson, The Temptations, Al green & James Brown - and this exposure no doubt contributed to Concept's versatility as an artist. Listening to hardcore storyteller emcees like Big L, Nas, DMX and the Notorious B.I.G as a youngster, Concept had not thought to take the love he had for Hip-Hop and and put it into practice for himself until admiring his older brother's work ethic, he says. It was Q's secret mimicking of his brother, Jae (Moc 5ive Entertainment), that caused him to write his own raps in his composition notebooks at the age of 13. Above even his seventh grade year, when he learned to freestyle fluently enough to rip the imaginary mic at lunch time, Concept dubs the move to "M-Ways" section of Brampton as the most crucial point to his musical career. He reminisces on his days with friends DB, Knuckz and Millzzey and Munchy as a source of inspiration, as these young go-getters made it a daily routine to perfect their craft and recording their tracks in DB's basement. From these humble beginnings, Concept was able to develop his own imaginative and precise style of delivery and became confident with the mic and now has no problem expressing himself lyrically. He believes that if it had not been for the time spent recording with his friends from the M-Way block, he would still have been playing soccer or would end up getting caught up in the street life. For a time, Concept felt the need to prioritize his family over all and prepared himself to be a father and felt he had to take a hiatus from recording. Returning back from the sidelines, Concept gave birth to his brand name "So Serious Cypherz." As explained by Concept, his brand name represents his attitude and infinite passion for music. Concept longs for So Serious Cypherz to be a recognized respected trademark in the music industry. Moving forward his debut mixtape, "Mic Expressionz" which he released September of 2012 was a project he put together on his own. Concept displayed and introduced various techniques and transitional flows in a flavorful manner. It features some of his closet rap partners: Animikee Thotah, General Keemz, Solo Remedy and New Breed. From his first release Concept persistently to continues developing & creating his own style. Concept has worked with some of Toronto's other artists and pioneers, like Producer T-Nyce, SP (Sunset Productions) and Worst Case Entertainment behind the scenes, utilizing his graphic design and art skills under the banner 'Clearcut Graphx'. Having gained some experience with the mixing and mastering of his own tracks, Concept is on a mission to becoming self-reliant, with plans to take up audio engineering and learning how to play various instruments to further strengthen himself in the world of music.

After rather quiet F1 week the racing is about to return. The fifth Turkish F1 Grand Prix is on this weekend. The inaugural race in 2005 was won by Kimi Raikkonen (McLaren that time). But from then on it was all about Felipe Massa who went on to win the Istanbul Park race in 2006, 2007 and 2008. Following Ferrari's recent return to form there is every chance that the monopoly the current Ferrari drivers have on the Turkish GP wins may continue.
Jenson Button on the other hand has won 5 out of 6 races this year and the last 3 in a row. He will be keen to continue this winning streak. Not less keen will be his team mate Rubens Barrichello to end it and get himself to the top of the podium for a change. Red Bull is another team with a shot at the race win under normal racing conditions.
The other teams to watch may be Toyota and BMW Sauber. How will Toyotas perform following their disaster Monaco weekend ? Will their new diffuser help to move BMW Sauber away from the back of the grid ?
McLaren expects a difficult weekend knowing that their car may not be too competitive on this track.
If I was to make a bet on this race, I would probably gamble on the first Ferrari win of the 2009 season.
The trade mark corner of this track is the Turn 8. It creates the highest G-Force (around 5G) of any corner
experienced during the course of the Formula One season. Turn Eight is a multi-apex (some say three, some say four) left hand turn that goes on, and on for around seven seconds. The best overtaking opportunity is the Turn 12 at the end of the long straight.
Bridgestone will be bringing their soft and hard compounds to Turkey. This will be the first time for the soft tyres to appear at the Istanbul Park. It willbe interesting to see for how long that compound will be able to take the high loadings that the Turn 8 puts through the tyres…

Can I pick up my order and avoid all shipping costs?
Of course! Picking up your order at our facility in Waynesboro, VA, eliminates shipping altogether.
Do you deliver?
Yes, in Virginia, within about 135 miles of our offices. We have a number of delivery routes that go as far south as Christiansburg, as far north as Leesburg, and east to Richmond and beyond. We deliver on each route at least once a month. Call us about our delivery routes and schedule. There is a delivery charge, but in almost all cases, it is less than the cost to ship your order to you.
OK, I cannot pick up my order, and I live too far away to take advantage of your delivery service. How do I get my order shipped to me?
Orders under 300 lbs. are shipped by Fedex Ground or Fedex Home. Orders over 300 lbs. are put on a pallet, shrink-wrapped, and transported by a trucking company.
How much does it cost to ship my order?
That depends on two things – how much your order weighs and how far you are from Waynesboro, VA. For example, shipping one bag of feed (50 lbs.) to Maryland costs about $16, but shipping that same bag of feed to Washington State costs about $37.
How can I save on shipping costs?
The cost per unit of weight to ship your order decreases as the total weight of your order increases (the more you order the less it costs per pound to ship the order). For example, it usually costs only a few dollars more to ship 200 lbs. than it does to ship 150 lbs. via Fedex Ground. And cost per unit of weight decreases even more for orders over 300 lbs. that are shipped on a pallet.
How much of your products, particularly feed products, should I order at one time?
Our feeds are made fresh in small batches, so you can safely order enough feed to last for 3 months. That will insure that you always have fresh feed.
Even if I order enough feed for 3 months, my order will still be small. What can I do to reduce shipping costs?
If possible, try to combine orders with your friends and neighbors. We can ship the combined order to one place, taking advantage of the lower rates for larger orders.
I will be placing a large order. What does it cost to ship a pallet of your products?
It depends. Some of the trucking companies that transport our products have given us reduced rates when we ship to certain states (a pallet rate). At this time we have pallet rates to Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and some parts of Florida. Orders of at least 500 lbs. shipped to any address in these states can be stacked on a pallet, shrink-wrapped, and transported via tractor-trailer. A pallet can hold anywhere from 500 lbs. to about 2000 lbs. of products. You pay to have the pallet shipped, so the cost is the same regardless of the total weight on the pallet.
What if you don't have a pallet rate to my state?
We can still ship your order by trucking company at a LTL rate, but the cost is based on the weight of the order and where the order is being shipped. We will check with several trucking companies to get you the best available shipping rate at the time you place your order.
What do I need to know about having products shipped by truck?
The tractor-trailer that delivers the order must be able to get to the delivery location, and be able to turn around at that location. You must be there to sign for the order, and you must unload the order from the truck (either take the whole pallet off the truck, or break the shrink-wrap and unload the order one bag at a time). If the truck cannot get into your farm, you can arrange to meet the driver somewhere else or go to the trucking terminal and pick up your order there. Another option is to have your order shipped to a local business.
It sounds complicated. How will I know what is the best way to ship my order?
When you place your order with us, we'll discuss with you all possible shipping options, based on the size of your order and your location.
What if I still have questions?
If you still have questions about shipping, call our offices (888-699-7088), or email us at email@example.com.

Hey guys, I've been researching and looking for my first handgun for about 6 months now. I really had my heart set on a XD 9mm subcompact, but none of the shops around had one. Saw a Kahr CW9 that caught my eye and bought it as soon as I held it in my hand. It feels so nice.
After the long 3 day waiting period (don't have my CCW yet) finally got it home today. I haven't shot it yet, but it feels really tight. It was such a pain to take apart. It's obviously going to need the 200+ round breakin period. The thing was bone dry, I could barely even rack the slide to get it to lock back. Some of the polymer is actually scratched up from me and probably the gun store guy trying to rack the slide.
I'm gonna clean it up after my cleaning kit gets here from midway and probably won't get to shoot it for at least another week. But in the mean time, here are some pics:

Chicago: Pakistani-American LeT terrorist David Headley was today sentenced to 35 years in jail by a US Court for helping plot the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks but escaped death penalty under a deal with the US government over which the judge had serious reservations.
"The sentence I impose, I'm hopeful it will keep Mr. Headley under lock and key for the rest of his natural life," US District Judge Harry Leinenweber said.
The Judge said it would have been much easier to impose the death penalty. "That's what you deserve".
52-year-old Headley had entered into a plea bargain with the US investigators under which he escaped death sentence.
But many were left surprised when the US prosecutors did not seek life sentence for Headley. Headley was ordered to serve 35 years, followed by five years of supervised release by Leinenweber. There is no federal parole and defendants must serve at least 85 per cent of their sentence.
"Mr. Headley is a terrorist," the Judge said while imposing the sentence on 12 counts in a packed court. Leinenweber also said, "He commits crime, cooperates and then gets rewarded for the cooperation.
"No matter what I do, it is not going to deter terrorists. Unfortunately, terrorists do not care for it. I do not have any faith in Mr Headley when he says that he is a changed person now.
"I do believe that it is my duty to protect the public from Mr Headley and ensure that he does not get into any further terrorist activities. Recommending 35 years is not a right sentence".
Asked if he wanted to make a statement, Headley, said, "No your honour."
In pleading guilty and later testifying for the government at the trial of co-defendant and school time friend Tahawwur Rana, Headley admitted that he attended training camps in Pakistan operated by Lashkar-e-Taiba, on five separate occasions between 2002 and 2005.
In late 2005, Headley received instructions from three members of Lashkar to travel to India to conduct surveillance, which he did five times leading up to the Mumbai attacks in 2008 that killed approximately 166 people, including six Americans, and wounded hundreds more.
Next: Possibility of Headley's extradition to India, says US attorney

Your commute just got cooler. The Journeyman is a cross-body minimalist messenger bag made from high-end, full-grain, Latigo Saddle Leather. Featuring an innovative laptop suspension technology for a 13" laptop and iPad that gently cradles your tech, lifting it away from your back, allowing the bag to conform to you and not your stuff. The more you put in it the more comfortable it becomes!

The Lillium is a European styled hands-free belt, cross body, and side purse made from the most durable and gorgeous top grain leather around.

and in Fort Worth, Texas, sure enough the magic of snowfall at Christmas time was more than abundant. Thats in our Texan terms. 2 inches of snow on the ground AND it didnt melt in an hour. Yankees try to stifle your laughter, but for us Texas guys and gals, this was a Christmas treat we havent seen in many, many years. In true Texas fashion, our round yesterday at Bear Creek Park in Grapevine, TX was played in 70 degree and sunny weather and less than 24 hours go by before we see snow falling for hours at a time. Who woulda thought.
My Nuke in the Texas Snow.
My brother and I have been spending lots of time out on the course this week. Weve been throwing the Nuke around, and so far both of us are really enjoying Discrafts newest edition to their lineup. It is crazy fast. Put it on a good line because once you release, it is GONE. Its fun to watch a fast disc take off and fly. What I like personally is that this speed demon isnt so overstable that I cant throw the thing relatively straight. Fast drivers are great, and its wonderful to have one that isnt a meathook out of the box. Once beaten in, I predict that this disc is going to be perfect for maximum distance with soft S-curves. I love the stamp-it reminds me of something out of Back to the Future.
Saturday morning, December 26, we will be out at North Park in Haltom City, TX cleaning up the course with the locals at 9am. If you are in the DFW, TX area we could use your help. If not, dont forget to help out your local club when they have work days. Your sacrifice of a few hours every once in a while keeps our courses enjoyable for everyone. Most parks and rec departments alone wont maintain the courses to the level we want, so its up to us, the disc golf community, to get the job done. I know I dont even have to say this but dont forget your discs- all work and no play makes jack a dull boy.
Merry Christmas to all! Hope your holidays are jolly!
See ya on the course,

Now that the craziness that is Asphalt 8 is out of their system, Gameloft is bringing a more realistic racer to the App Store this fall. GT Racing 2: The Real Car Experience takes a less arcadey and more simulationy approach to its cars (all 67 of them, from 35 different manufacturers) and real world tracks. I'm just guessing here, but it might have something to do with their teaming up with Mercedes-Benz.
We don't know much else about it at this point except that it's due out this fall – and it looks pretty sweet – but we'll do our best to stay on top of it!

William Keith "Bill" Pitman (born February 12, 1920) is an American guitarist and session musician.
As a first-call studio musician working in Los Angeles, Pitman played on some of the most celebrated and influential records of the rock and roll era. His mastery of the guitar placed him in high demand for popular music recordings, television programs, and film scores. The style and range of his playing covered a wide spectrum, from the distinctive ukulele in the Academy Award winning song "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head," to a rich sounding Danelectro guitar that gave The Wild Wild West its unique musical signature.[1]
Pitman developed an interest in music at a young age when his father worked as a bass player on staff at NBC in Rockefeller Center. During the Great Depression, Pitman's father was able to make a very good living doing freelance work, radio shows, and movie soundtracks all while still employed at the network.
When he was five years old, Pitman knew he wanted to be a musician. He tried several different instruments, including the piano and trumpet, before finally settling on the guitar. Lessons from John Cali and Allan Reuss taught him fundamentals and technique on the first guitar he ever owned, a D'Angelico. When it came time to apply for his Local 802 union card, he had no trouble passing the test before they recognized his name and said, "Oh, Keith Pitman's son. Well okay."[2]
While in high school, Pitman went up to 52nd Street in Manhattan to listen to jazz pioneers like Charlie Parker. Pitman was strongly influenced by guitarists Charlie Christian and Eddie Lang, and soon befriended Shorty Rogers, Shelly Manne, and Eddie Bert, with whom he spent countless hours playing music.
After serving in World War II, Pitman headed west to California where he attended the Los Angeles Conservatory of Music and Arts. He then devoted his efforts to practicing the guitar and reading music. Guitar books geared toward reading music were virtually non-existent at the time, so Pitman used books for other instruments to acquire his sight reading skills. Oboe books were especially prized because they described the same range as the guitar.
By 1951, Pitman had grown confident that he could play as well as many of the guitarists in the jazz clubs of Los Angeles. While visiting a nightclub where Peggy Lee was performing, Pitman struck up a conversation with guitar virtuoso Laurindo Almeida, who was playing in her band. Their talk led to an audition, landing Pitman a job with Lee that launched his professional music career.[1]
After three years with Peggy Lee's band, Pitman accepted an offer to play on a radio program called The Rusty Draper Show. His three-year stint on that broadcast led to studio work when guitar player Tony Rizzi asked Pitman to sit in for him on a Capitol Records date. As word got around, musicians like Howard Roberts, Al Hendrickson, and Bob Bain would ask Pitman to play on sessions they were unable to attend. Eventually, the referrals led to producers calling Pitman directly to fill a guitar chair, resulting in lucrative studio work that would last for decades.
During the latter part of the 1950s, Pitman sat in on sessions for established recording artists like Mel Tormé, Buddy Rich, and Red Callender. However, rock and roll was gaining popularity, and a chance encounter with Phil Spector placed Pitman among the earliest members of an élite group of session players.[3]
In 1957, Bertha Spector asked Pitman if he would teach her son how to play jazz guitar. After three months of lessons, young Phil Spector continued to struggle with the concept of meter, leading both student and teacher to conclude that Phil was probably not cut out to be a musician.[4]
The following year, Spector cut a demo for a song he had written, and then asked Pitman if he would play it for his colleagues on The Rusty Draper Show. The song, called "To Know Him Is to Love Him," generated considerable interest, and was eventually financed. Shortly thereafter, Pitman received a call from one of Spector's representatives asking him to play on a recording session for the song at Gold Star Studios. The record became a huge hit, causing Pitman to be invited to all future Phil Spector recording dates. Indeed, when Spector produced the enormously popular record "Be My Baby" in 1963, he named the jam session on the flip side "Tedesco and Pitman," after two of his favorite guitar players: Tommy Tedesco and Bill Pitman.
Given the popularity of Spector's records, Pitman and the other musicians who created the Wall of Sound became the first choice of nearly every major record label in Los Angeles. Hal Blaine would later call this group The Wrecking Crew, and their anonymous talents accompanied musical artists from The Beach Boys to Frank Sinatra.[5]
When Columbia Records decided to take a gamble on a new band called The Byrds, they insisted on seasoned musicians being brought in to record the instrumental tracks for the first single. Consequently, the men who joined Roger McGuinn in CBS Columbia Square on January 20, 1965 were not members of The Byrds, but session players Larry Knechtel, Hal Blaine, Jerry Cole, Leon Russell, and Bill Pitman. In three hours they recorded two songs, one of which, "Mr. Tambourine Man," became a sensation.[6]
Pitman worked as a freelance musician, employing an answering service to help him schedule recording dates. Studios covered the cost of cartage, an important perquisite considering the number of instruments and ancillary gear needed to meet the eclectic demands of music producers. The frenetic pace of studio work left very little time for live performances or writing. During one year, Pitman logged an astonishing 425 recording sessions, many of which resulted in multiple sides.[2]
When union rules were pushed beyond their limits, either Tommy Tedesco or Bill Pitman would raise the issue of overtime—to the consternation of producers, and commensurate delight of other musicians. Their salty adherence to fair treatment led to Tedesco being called King Salt, and Pitman getting the nickname Junior Salt. As Pitman said in a 2002 interview, "if King Salt wouldn't say something, Junior Salt certainly would."[2]
Despite his contributions to chart-topping records by The Mamas & the Papas, The Everly Brothers, and Jan and Dean, Pitman found the rock music he was asked to play unmemorable; expressing genuine surprise when some of the tunes became wildly successful. Producers jokingly claimed that if Pitman thought a record was terrible, they probably had a hit on their hands.[2]
The indifference Pitman felt toward rock and roll was more than matched by an enthusiasm for jazz recording sessions led by composers and arrangers such as Marty Paich, Dave Grusin, and Johnny Mandel. Pitman derived a great deal of satisfaction from the technical demands of jazz and its complex array of harmonic changes and improvised solos. His playing on The Guitars Inc. and Marty Paich's Dek-Tette albums eclipsed, on a personal level, anything he ever did on a Top 40 record.
Long hours in Hollywood recording studios were primarily focused on performance, precluding other musical work. Notwithstanding the constraints, Pitman wrote a couple of arrangements for Buddy DeFranco, and a stack of charts for a short-lived octet he put together with Buddy Childers. He also earned composition credits for a few episodes of the original Star Trek series; a pair of jazz tunes ("Sidewinder" and "Pitfall") on the 1956 release Marty Paich Quartet featuring Art Pepper; and a beautifully improvised tune called "San Fernando" that producers needed to fill out a 1968 album titled Do You Know the Way to San Jose by the Baja Marimba Band.[7] Nevertheless, his enduring legacy is one of an accomplished guitarist who played on some of the twentieth century's most popular recordings.
Pitman's main studio guitar was the Gibson ES-335 with a Polytone amplifier. On some of the rock and roll records, he used a Fender Telecaster with a Fender Twin Reverb amplifier. Other instruments included a twelve-string guitar, Fender bass, Gibson mandolin, and a Bacon tenor banjo. Pitman tuned the mandolin and banjo like a guitar, and was careful to warn producers that he could only play those two instruments in the guitar range.
I'm not a mandolin player. I'd tell them I could double on it, but if they really wanted someone to play the mandolin, they should get a mandolin player. I could play rhythm on it, and even notes, but I always made it clear that I was a guitar player. But we all had five or six instruments because they didn't want to spend the money. And they'd get a lot out of one guy.
— Bill Pitman, Interview with Jim Carlton[2]
The Danelectro guitar work for which Pitman became famous started when he saw the instrument at a music shop shortly after its introduction. His practicing caught the attention of Ernie Freeman who asked him to play the Dano on a recording date. The success of that session eventually led to his playing the Dano on The Beach Boys album Pet Sounds, and provided him with five years of recording work on the television program The Wild Wild West.[8] Following his discovery of the Danelectro, Pitman estimates that he played the instrument roughly forty per cent of the time for the rest of his studio career.[9]
Pitman lives in La Quinta, California with his wife Jan, to whom he has been married for 29 years. He spends his retirement playing golf at the local country club, and occasionally participates in panel discussions of The Wrecking Crew documentary film.[2]
During his tenure as a session musician, Pitman played on an extensive number of recordings. Listed below is a sampling of the studio dates chronicled by the American Federation of Musicians.[10]

Unibroue Trois Pistoles Review
On the back of this bottle, it describes the beer as being a "remarkably mellow dark ale." This, as they would say, is pretty spot on. This beer is simply delicious. This is my favorite beer from the Unibroue lineup. This is a very aromatic beer, and if you drink this out of the bottle, you will not experience half of whats going on in that dark glass. The picture shown above, which has the the beer in lovely Unibroue glass, is the way it should be served and drank(Geez, I need to work on my diction). Trust me, though, have it both ways, and you will smell, and taste, the difference. This beer is considered a medium to full bodied beer, but when you first taste the beer, your hit with a very big fruity flavor, but not overpowering, but you can expect it just by smelling the brew. Then, the after taste consists of, if you've ever had the pleasure, the taste of an aged, port wine.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, April 3, (AP): Suspected Filipino insurgents seized a Chinese tourist and a hotel receptionist from a dive resort in eastern Malaysia and then fled in a speed boat, Malaysian and Philippine officials said Thursday. The kidnapping late Wednesday underscored the persistent security threats in Sabah state, a popular tourist destination a short boat ride from the southern Philippines, which has long been home to a dangerous mix of Muslim militants and kidnap gangs. Six men armed with pistols raided the Singamata Reef Resort, according to a police report. It said the Chinese victim was a 28-yearold woman from Shanghai, while the receptionist was a 40-year-old female Philippine citizen. The Singamata is a resort popular with Chinese tourists in the Semporna district of the state, which is on the Malaysian side of Borneo Island.
The resort has cottages and restaurants on stilts over the water, making it hard to protect from seaborne attackers. A receptionist at the hotel declined to comment, as did police in the district. Officials said the attackers came and left on a wooden speed boat. The attackers were believed to be from the Abu Sayyaf, a militant Philippine Muslim group that has carried out seaborne kidnappings for ransom in the region before, said a Philippine intelligence official who didn't give his name because he was not authorized to speak to the media. Philippine maritime security units and antikidnapping operatives were working with Malaysian authorities to achieve a "speedy resolution of the case," the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.
At a regularly scheduled briefing Thursday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said China's consulate in Kuching city mobilized staff to deal with the kidnapping and urged local authorities to ensure the safety of Chinese citizens. China's ties with Malaysia have come under stress recently because of anger among Chinese over the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines jetliner, which was carrying 153 Chinese.
The plane has yet to be found. Last November, suspected Abu Sayyaf militants killed a Taiwanese tourist and kidnapped his wife from a resort in the Semporna area. The woman was released a month later in the southern Philippines. Authorities didn't say whether a ransom was paid. Such deals are normally not immediately disclosed to the media, if at all. The Abu Sayyaf had tenuous historical links to international militant networks, including al- Qaeda, but a US-assisted Philippine military crackdown on the group's heartland in Sulu province in the southern Philippines has weakened it considerably in recent years. The group has about 300 fighters and is more focused on ransom kidnappings than on the global jihadi cause. Militants are holding more than a dozen captives, including two European bird watchers who were seized from the Philippines' Tawi- Tawi province in 2012.

Goodyear, AZ (SportsNetwork.com) - Cincinnati Reds closer Aroldis Chapman will miss 6-to-8 weeks of action after suffering a fracture above his left eye in Wednesday night's spring training game against the Kansas City Royals.
The Reds announced he will undergo surgery Thursday to repair the fracture.
Chapman suffered the injury during the bottom of the sixth inning when a line drive off the bat of Royals catcher Salvador Perez hit his face. Chapman never lost consciousness and he was able to communicate.
The Cactus League game at Surprise Stadium was canceled after the incident, with the Royals leading by a 6-3 score.
Chapman went 4-5 with 38 saves and a 2.54 ERA in 68 appearances last season.

The legendarily haughty editor of US Vogue has transformed the annual Costume Institute Gala during her years at the helm of the event. What was once just another fund-raiser for Manhattan socialites is now the most watched event in the global fashion calendar, where designers fight to dress the celebrities du jour in the ultimate in product placement for their $250 billion industry.
The dress code selected this year by Wintour is "White Tie and Decorations" - ball gowns and gloves for the ladies; top hats and tails for the gentlemen, plus medals and awards (ie the decorations). This classic aesthetic - an about-turn from last year's punk theme - is a tribute to Charles James, an Anglo-American often described as the first US couturier, and the subject of the annual institute exhibition.
The Berkshire-born son of a British Army officer and a wealthy Chicagoan was dispatched to Illinois by his family in his late teens after being expelled from Harrow for a "sexual escapade". He set up a millinery business in 1926 before moving into dress design, where he made his name with "architectural" sculpted ball gowns - near-weightless despite their voluminous look - that were beloved of mid-century society figures such as Millicent Rogers and Gloria Vanderbilt.
Wintour, another British transplant to New York, will be honoured earlier in the day. The revamped Costume Institute will be reopened as the Anna Wintour Costume Center, in the typically ostentatious style of US philanthropy, in honour of her fund-raising for the institute - $125 million in 15 years as a trustee, including $40 million to pay for the new look.
Wintour has also landed an impressive ribbon-cutter and speaker for the event - Michelle Obama. What the First Lady will wear for the occasion is, of course, the subject of febrile speculation. She is not expected to stay for the main event - the evening ball - as the security required would be a logistical nightmare.
The gala this year is chaired by Aerin Lauder, granddaughter of the cosmetics tycoon Estée Lauder and proprietor of her own "lifestyle brand". Co-chairs include the actors Bradley Cooper and Sarah Jessica Parker, the designer Oscar de la Renta, and Wintour. But in moulding the night, from invitation list to dress code, this is one woman's party.
"The level of control is amazing," a source told the Hollywood Reporter. "The invasion of Baghdad was nothing compared to this. If Michael Kors is coming, Anna is deciding which celebrity will wear Michael Kors and which Michael Kors outfit the celebrity will wear." Word is that Lupita Nyong'o and Michelle Dockery will be wearing Prada; Amanda Seyfried will opt for Givenchy; while Taylor Swift will go for J Mendel.
Last year's show on the impact of punk on fashion garnered a lukewarm reception, and the gala pleased neither punk sartorial aficionados - they found it too wimpy - nor the fashion crowd.
This year's attendees will be aiming for a vintage look in honour of James. For women, that will mean classic gowns with bustling skirts and full bosoms, nipped at the waist. Elegant gloves will feature, with French house Perrin Paris reported to be providing the finger cover.

Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center
Surprisingly few papers have addressed aspects of fire-wetlands relations; fewer yet have had this subject as a major focus of investigation. In general, fire has been treated as one of a number of management tools appropriate for wetlands, with its major use that of eradication of undesirable vegetation. Unlike the literature on fire in terrestrial upland communities, however, specific fire prescriptions, knowledge of fire behavior under different fuel loadings and environmental conditions, and the detailed consequences of differing fire frequencies, fire intensities, and fire severities in wetlands are largely unknown. As a physical phenomenon, fire in wetlands has only been studied in detail for deep peat soils, where extinguishing a fire can be difficult or well nigh impossible. However, recent studies have begun to emphasize nutrient release, mineral cycling, and other chemical effects of fire upon the soil and subsequent vegetative vigor and productivity.
The earliest references to fire in North American wetlands are the anecdotal accounts of early travelers in the Upper Midwest and Great Plains [recently compiled by Higgins (1986)], that mention fire in lowland areas in the late 1600's. The first North American reference to the value of fire in managing wetlands for wildlife (waterfowl) appears to be that of Furniss (1938), although L. J. Bennett (1938. The Blue-winged Teal, its ecology and management. Collegiate Press, Ames, IA. 144 pp.) mentioned in passing in the same year that breeding habitat conditions for upland-nesting waterfowl could be improved by selective use of fire. The role of fire in maintaining certain plant communities was appreciated long before this, however. Korstian (1924) and Korstian and Brush (1931) identified fire as a major determinant in the establishment and maintenance of Atlantic white-cedar communities; Lewis and Dowding (1926) and Lewis et al. (1928) identified the role of fire in muskeg communities in the Canadian North; the importance of fire in Louisiana marshes was identified by Viosca (1928, 1931); Beaven and Oosting (1939) identified fire as a great agent of change in baldcypress swamps; Wells (1928, 1931) and Penfound and Hathaway (1938) recognized fire as important in southeastern United States pocosins and coastal marshes; and Bradbury (1938) listed fire as a marsh management tool that benefited wildlife while assisting mosquito control.
Despite appreciation among plant ecologists of the role of fire, early use of fire in wetlands management by land management agencies was apparently stymied by the mind-set of the majority of first-generation wildlands managers who viewed fire as an entirely negative phenomenon (Conway 1938; U.S. Forest Service Library 1938; Cox 1939; Hanson 1939). Fire as a natural occurrence, and as a practical tool for managing coastal marshes for furbearers, was generally appreciated by the public, however, and observation of general fire effects, versus scientific investigation per se, led wildlands managers to several basic conclusions on use of fire in wetlands by the 1940's. Wells (1942) and Garren (1943) identified fire as responsible for the development and maintenance of several wetland communities in the Southeast; Griffith (1941) and Smith (1942) described the value of burning in Atlantic coast marshes; Lay and O'Neil (1942) discussed the value of burning for muskrat management on the Texas Gulf coast; and Cartwright (1942) and Ward (1942) identified the value of burning in maintenance of the Delta Marsh, MB. Lynch (1941) described several "types" of burns in Gulf coast marshes, suggested their potential value in managing other types of marshes, and identified the need for further study of fire in marshes. Lynch's descriptions, embellished and repeated by later authors, became the litany of wetland fire managers, but there was no substantial response to his request for further studies of marsh burning for 20 years, until Hoffpauir's (1961a) thesis appeared as the first of a long series of quantitative studies of fire in the Louisiana marshes.
The frequency distribution of publication dates of literature addressing fire-wetlands relations (Table 2) documents the initially low, but steadily increasing, amount of interest in the subject into the 1980's. In the present decade, interest in investigating fire-wetlands relations has risen dramatically with the result that more than one-third of the papers in this bibliography have appeared since 1979. Since certain categories of fire-wetlands papers, namely limnological studies and most information from the Far North, were purposely limited in the annotated bibliography, the apparent approximately 100% increase in reported results per decade from the 1920's through the 1970's greatly understates the increase in the literature on fire in general and the sum of literature related to fire in all wetland ecosystems worldwide in particular. For example, Vierick and Schandelmeier (1980) listed approximately 750 references on the effects of fire in Alaska and adjacent Canada, a number 2.4 times larger than the material in this annotated bibliography. Detailed studies of fire in the North have increased dramatically since World War II, with the greatest increase in the most recent years.
The rate of increase of reports of fire-wetlands studies appears to be leveling off if the data available through July 1987 can be taken as an indication. Nonetheless, the number of studies is still increasing and a firm basis for much more detailed work has been developed in many parts of North America. As one indication of the "arrival" of fire-wetlands studies in the consciousness of land managers throughout North America, the number of texts and reviews that addressed fire-wetlands relationships grew dramatically in the 1970's and this demonstration of level of interest has been sustained. (Table 2).
The geographic distribution of studies of fire-wetlands relations (Table 3) only partially reflects the distribution of major wetlands in North America. Thus, one can recognize several areas of emphasis already addressed in fire-wetlands studies as well as other areas in need of basic investigation. Within the Atlantic states and provinces, 27 of the 95 papers (28%) have addressed freshwater pocosins, bogs, Carolina bays, and canebrakes of the Coastal Plain. These increasingly rare communities are dependent upon fire to maintain a mixture of seral stages and currently remain the object of intense botanical and conservation interest. Two other large, well known wetlands on the Atlantic coast have also been the subject of substantial studies, specifically of the relation of fire to many aspects of ecosystem functioning. The Okefenokee Swamp of Georgia with 16 studies and the Great Dismal Swamp on the North Carolina-Virginia border with 6 studies have received some of the most sophisticated analyses in the East. A third area, the Pine Barrens of New Jersey, once known for extreme conflagrations, now is burned much less often and studies have concentrated on upland sites despite the great number of wetlands and surrounding coastal marsh in the Barrens. The five studies on the Pine Barrens are thus but a fraction of the literature on the area's relation to fire. As an indication of interest in these four major wetland ecosystems of the Atlantic states, each has been the subject of recent monographic treatment: pocosins (Richardson 1981; Sharitz and Gibbons 1982; Ash et al. 1985); Okefenokee Swamp (Cohen et al. 1984); Great Dismal Swamp (Kirk 1979); and the Pine Barrens (Forman 1979).
Studies from Georgia and North Carolina and those that address the entire mid-Atlantic and Southeastern region dominate the available publications on fire-wetlands relations in the eastern United States and Canada. These areas include the numerous previously mentioned Okefenokee and pocosin studies, but additional contributors to this geographic concentration of effort appear to be the long-standing interest by plant ecologists in the flora of the Atlantic Coastal Plain and substantial interest in economically efficient management of coastal marshes and eastern pine and lowland forests. In the latter cases, both industrial and wildlife management reasons have provided incentives for research on fire-wetlands relations.
Within Florida, 20 of the 32 studies (62%) have addressed the Everglades ecosystem or nearby natural areas. With increasing human pressure upon natural landscapes in southern Florida, and the ongoing research programs of the Everglades National Park and nearby preserves, substantial work on this system has ensued. Monographic treatment of the entire system includes Loveless (1959) and Duever et al. (1986). Cypress swamps and forested wetlands in general have been recent subjects of intense study because of their value to fish, wildlife, and water quality, and in some areas, their potential for treating wastewater. Cypress swamps have been covered in two recent monographs (Ewel and Odum 1984; Duever et al. 1986); Atlantic white-cedar swamps in two older reviews (Korstian and Brush 1931; Little 1950); and bottomland hardwood and other forested wetlands have been addressed by a number of Fish and Wildlife Service and other government publications (e.g., Wharton et al. 1982).
In the Gulf states, almost all of the studies have addressed coastal areas, with emphasis being placed on the coastal prairies of Texas (26%) which have been of substantial interest to livestock producers as well as Louisiana salt and brackish marshes noted for their forbearer and waterfowl resources (44%). These latter marshes have been subject to manipulation for so long (200+ years) that management schemes are relatively straightforward, but recent coastal subsidence and loss of marsh threatens coastal Louisiana, suggesting the need for further studies.
The inland Midwest and Great Plains were only addressed by 20% of the papers despite the large area encompassed. The extensive inland wetlands of the interior thus seem severely understudied from the standpoint of their interaction with fire. Given their importance to migratory birds and resident wildlife, and their recently much diminished areal extent, experimentation with fire and all other available management options seems imperative if the resource is to be sustained. The high number from Wisconsin includes numerous general studies, but also reflects concentration on management of Horicon Marsh. Six of the nine papers from Utah were by the same set of authors, and comprise detailed studies of the Great Salt Lake marshes. The prairie pothole country of the Dakotas, Minnesota, and the Canadian Prairies has received little concentrated study with the notable exception of the Delta Marsh, MB. The Delta Marshes were the site of early attempts to manipulate emergent marsh vegetation with fire (Ward 1942, 1968) and continue to be an important site for experimental studies of alternative marsh management strategies (Neckles et al. 1985; Thompson and Shay 1985; Shay et al. 1987).
There is no clear explanation for the lack of studies of fire-wetland relations in the West. The paucity of wetlands in many areas may be one factor, but continued interest in maintaining riparian zones suggests that studies addressing grazing, fire, and other range management practices are still needed. The effects of fire on high mountain wetlands appear completely unstudied, as does the effect of fire on Pacific coastal marshes.
The concentration of studies in relatively few geographic areas seems to be at least partially attributable to development of graduate programs emphasizing marsh ecology and fire at only a few universities. The geographic distribution of both study sites and issuing institutions that confer degrees for studies of fire-wetlands relations (Table 4) shows the clear numerical superiority of Louisiana State University, and to a lesser extent, Texas A&M University, the University of Georgia, and Iowa State University. All four institutions have access to nearby State and Federal refuges and wildlife management areas, and have ongoing programs that integrate range, wildlife, and botanical studies. In general, however, the subject has not been addressed by student degree programs as often as we had expected, especially given recent emphasis at many universities on whole-ecosystem studies, successional relations in plant communities, and the flow of energy and cycling of nutrients in ecosystems. The most critical finding, however, was that 14 of the 35 theses and dissertations that addressed fire-wetlands relations apparently resulted in either no published manuscripts or published papers that did not discuss the fire-wetlands aspects of the research. Given the general difficulty of locating unpublished Masters theses, especially, it seems clear that those interested in site-specific studies will have to make personal inquiries to locate older, unpublished material.
The subject index shows that several major groups of organisms have received little attention with regard to fire. For example, studies of the effect of fire upon wetlands used for livestock range universally ignore the effects of burning upon grourid-nesting nongame birds, reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. Invertebrates, as a group, have received almost no mention in the fire-wetlands literature although they have been addressed in studies of fire in upland sites. Fire in and adjacent to prairie wetlands has been assessed with regard to ground-nesting waterfowl, but the effects of fire on marsh and wading birds dependent upon cattails, common reed, bulrush, and other emergent aquatic plants for cover, food substrate, and nest sites have been barely mentioned. Only in studies of coastal marshes in Louisiana has enough data been collected to provide broad managinent prescriptions. The conclusion from these Louisiana studies is that it is not possible to use fire to manage these coastal areas simultaneously to benefit livestock, waterfowl, muskrats, and other marsh wildlife. This suggests that use of fire in wetlands elsewhere should be for specific management purposes and not applied as a tool of supposed benefit to all marsh wildlife and plants.
Eighty-one (27%) of the entries in the annotated bibliography were reviews of broad geographic scope, or texts discussing numerous aspects of fire, habitat, or species management. As expected, there was much overlap in these review papers, since the original literature is so limited. Nonetheless, despite these reviews, no wetland management handbook exists that fully integrates fire management with other wetland management practices and that presents specific management guidelines. There is a need for such a synthesis, but as this bibliography makes clear, much is yet unknown about the use of fire in marsh management and the effects of fire on wetland ecosystems. Furthermore, the literature reviewed in this bibliography emphasizes more the uniqueness of each wetland system than the similarities of all wetlands in their responses to fire. This suggests that the entire field of study, except for those wetlands the subject of multidisciplinary research (Great Salt Lake marshes, Delta Marsh, Okefenokee Swamp, the Everglades, etc.), is still at the basic data-gathering stage for most of North America and that synthesis might occur more appropriately some time hence. Several areas in need of major inquiry can be defined. We particularly need data to develop fire prescriptions for various wetland types, further knowledge of the effects of fire upon marsh nutrient cycling, a better understanding of the use of fire in managing wetland complexes in the Great Plains, and development of optimal schemes to meet air and water quality objectives while simultaneously meeting wetland management objectives through appropriate use of fire.

DOE Conducts Energy Assessment at Copper Tubing Plant in Alabama
May 15, 2006
DOE announced on May 15th that an industrial Energy Saving Assessment will take place at a Wolverine Tube Inc. facility in Decatur, Alabama. The Decatur plant manufactures copper tubing for the plumbing, air conditioning, and heat transfer industries. DOE's free three-day energy assessments are helping major manufacturing facilities to identify energy-saving opportunities, primarily by focusing on steam and process heating systems used at the plants. See the DOE press release.
DOE's Energy Saving Teams have completed visits to 33 large federal facilities and are in the process of visiting 200 energy-intensive manufacturing facilities as part of the national "Easy Ways to Save Energy" campaign launched in October 2005. The first 44 industrial Energy Saving Assessments have identified a total of $149.3 million per year in potential energy savings. If implemented, these energy-saving measures could reduce natural gas consumption by nearly 14.8 trillion Btu per year, which is more than the natural gas consumed by 200,000 homes. See the results of many of these industrial Energy Saving Assessments on the "Save Energy Now" Web site, provided by DOE's Industrial Technologies Program.

[edit] Background
The Lumberjack match consists of a good old fashioned one-on-one match. The only twist however... is there are some very interesting spectators all around the ring.
During the match, up to four superstars are surrounding the ring, watching the match. Every time a superstar gets thrown out, the superstars may do whatever with player as they please. They can help him up, get him into the ring, or get a few shots in themselves. In real life, this match is quite useful for high-profile matches, or title matches. It is often featured when they wish to display the good guy trying to escape with odds stacked against him.
This match was included in SmackDown's Shut Your Mouth and Here Comes The Pain titles and was discontinued shortly after.

More than 30 million Americans suffer from an overactive bladder, and no matter what age they are, it is important that they get the urinary problem treatment that they deserve. There are a variety of different overactive bladder medications available, and although these medications can be helpful for preventing the worsening of urge incontinence, they cannot protect against accidents that are so common when a person develops a weak bladder. In order to prevent these accidents, our team of engineers has developed the Disappearing Diaper. This adult diaper is designed to be worn like normal underpants, while at the same time providing an incredible level of protection against urge incontinence. In addition to being highly absorbent, the Disappearing Diaper is almost invisible beneath all but the tightest fighting clothes. Everyone from actors to athletes have worn the Disappearing Diaper, and we want you to try it absolutely free.
The Disappearing Diaper is now available for free during our limited time offer. People with an overactive bladder have a number of different loss of bladder control treatments available, and we're willing to give you a free trial of Disappearing Diaper because we know that you're love the superior quality and unmatched absorbance of our special technology. The original Disappearing Diaper borrowed design elements from the special underwear constructed for astronauts, and we've only improved upon it since.
In order to cater to all style and body sizes, we have developed a Disappearing Diaper style for women bladder problems and male bladder problems. Each of our products is specifically designed for the perfect fit. In addition to offer high levels of protection for both males and females, we also have several different styles and protection levels, so that you can get as little or as much protection as you need. Few problems can be as embarrassing as an overactive bladder, but it is important to know that Disappearing Diapers are on your side to help prevent an accident during your next case of urination urgency.
When you are first diagnosed with urge incontinence, it may seem that your days of enjoying things like hiking and other outdoor activities are over. However, it is important to know that there are a number of ways that you can deal with a leaky bladder that allow you to continue living the life that you've always wanted. To begin with, it is important that you speak with your doctor about your loss of bladder control. In some cases, a weak bladder can be a symptom of a much more serious condition. After speaking with your doctor and getting an OAB test, it is time to discuss overactive bladder medication. These medications can help to control the internal factors that contribute to an overactive bladder. Once you've decided on a medical treatment for bladder control, you can also take steps to strengthen the muscles that control your bladder in order to reduce the symptoms of an overactive bladder. Through careful planning, and the use of products like the Disappearing Diaper, you can control your loss of bladder control and get your life back to where you want it.

Pulled by down European markets and buoyed slightly by some upbeat economic reports, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) struggled to keep its head above water for most of the day, but rallied at the end to finish at 13,981.76, up 8 points, or 0.1%. Sixteen companies advanced on the 30-member Dow, led by Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO), which shrugged off two days of declines to climb 1.6%. Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT) had the biggest fall out of the 13 decliners, dropping nearly 2.2%. Cisco Systems (NASDAQ:CSCO) finished unchanged. The Dow finished the week down nearly 0.1%, its second consecutive weekly loss.

'Humane' Meat: Don't Believe the Hype
"Free-range". "Grass-fed". "Humane-certified". "High-welfare". "Organic". We've all seen these misleading markers slapped onto the carcasses of dead animals and may even have wanted to believe them – but they all conceal the same exploitation and bloodshed.
These labels appeal to people with uneasy consciences who are looking for excuses not to change their habits. But put simply, treating animals ethically means not ending their lives just to satisfy your preference for a certain flavour of protein. Virtually every animal raised for meat ends his or her life in a terrifying abattoir filled … Read more.
