Already 3-0, Can Halladay Win 25 Games?
Major League Baseball hasn't seen a 25-game winner in 20 years. The last time the feat was accomplished, in 1990, Bob Welch went on to win 27 games for the Oakland Athletics. The game of baseball has changed. Pitchers no longer go deep into games on a regular basis. It's highly unlikely that a pitcher…Read More

Target Field
Attendance: 38,491
Minneapolis, MN (Sports Network) - Lou Marson delivered a double and his first home run of the season, scoring twice, as he helped lead the Cleveland Indians to a 6-3 victory over the Minnesota Twins in the second game of a double- header at Target Field.
In the opener of the four-game series earlier in the day, Cleveland plated four runs in the third inning, thanks in part to a three-run home run by Asdrubal Cabrera, en route to the 5-2 road victory.
Michael Brantley accounted for three hits and an RBI in the nightcap for the Indians as they won for the fourth time in six games. Travis Hafner logged two RBI.
Cleveland hurler Fausto Carmona (5-10), who was making his first start after coming off the disabled list, permitted two runs on seven hits over six innings of action.
Making his major league debut for Minnesota, Scott Diamond (0-1) worked through 6 1/3 innings, permitting four runs -- three earned -- on seven hits, walking two and striking out one batter as he absorbed the loss.
Joe Mauer, who had three hits in the first game of the day, notched two more singles and a double in the second consecutive defeat for the club. Danny Valencia contributed two hits, including his 11th home run of the campaign, and Trevor Plouffe belted his fifth home run of the season in a losing cause.
"I felt pretty good at the plate," Mauer said of his efforts on offense. "Obviously the two games today, you get a lot of AB's and you just try to hold on to that feeling, but I think I just wasn't trying to do too much with the pitches and kinda do what I've been doing so it was a good day for me."
The first run of the night came in the third inning when Mauer shot a single to center, bringing Alexi Casilla around from second. Casilla had turned a single into a double when Austin Kearns fell to his knees in right field and lazily tossed the ball back to the infield. The Twins came up with three straight hits in the inning, but managed just the lone run.
In the top of the fifth, Diamond's pitch count began to climb and the Cleveland hitters appeared more comfortable at the plate, beginning with a two-out double to right be Marson. Ezequiel Carrera was issued the first walk of the game by the rookie left-hander, followed by RBI singles from Brantley and Cabrera to put the visitors up by a 2-1 count.
Valencia evened the score for Minnesota in the bottom of the sixth when with one out he ripped a ball into the seats in left field. The solo home run was the 16th long ball allowed by Carmona this season, the right-hander permitting just 17 all of 2010.
The tie was short-lived however, as Marson worked a full count before depositing a home run out to center field in the top of the seventh. Carrera then reached base on a fielding error, took second on a steal and was forced over to third on a bunt. An intentional walk to Cabrera put men at the corners with one out and also signaled the end of the night for Diamond.
"It's a big league lineup," Diamond said of the Cleveland hitters. "It's a first time experience so, you know, I was happy with the way I handled most of it and I'm just gonna keep tryin' to do what I did tonight."
Reliever Phil Dumatrait surrendered a single to Hafner, scoring Carrera to make the score 4-2. Just that quickly, Dumatrait exited and Alex Burnett was brought in to close out the inning without any more damage.
The Indians bolstered their lead in the ninth when Hafner's single up the middle off Chuck James brought Brantley in to score with two outs. Carlos Santana then posted his first triple of the season to left field, plating Luis Valbuena who had stepped in to run for Hafner.
The Twins got one back in the bottom of the frame when Plouffe ripped a shot into the left field stands to cut the deficit to three runs.

Has the time come to push for regulation of media houses?
Media-bashing is keeping both seminarists and Aamir Khan in business. Between the Press Council's sanitised report on paid news, the I and B ministry's task force attempting yet again to regulate broadcasting, and the recent lampooning film "Peepli [Live]", the consensus is that the media is a wayward (and increasingly dishonest) beast that needs reining in. The Supreme Court of India concurs: earlier this month it issued a second order restraining the media from scandalous reporting of the Aarushi murder case.
But who will bell the cat? Nobody can agree on who should regulate. Their peers in the profession? Government? A new body with the usual mix of eminences from different fields? All of these have been non-starters so far.
So let's toss a fresh idea into the pot. Who is indispensable to the media and can therefore calls the shots? The advertiser. What if he/she were to decide that they wanted standards in the media they were advertising in? And declined to underwrite spurious news because it was bad for their image too?
Hold it, you'll say, it's the advertiser who is the source of original sin: constantly pushing to fudge the line between news and advertising. How is reform going to begin with him? It could begin with both the more ethical advertisers and with investors. Hypothetically, as media ownership diversifies and more investors come into existing media, they could begin to demand ethical standards in the media they are investing in. They might want assurance that the company they are investing in will not follow unsavoury editorial practices, and thereby harm the reputation of the investor.
If the blue chip companies were feeling ethical they could insist that the media they advertise in stick to professional conduct and transparent practices to enhance their credibility. And how would they do that? By insisting on certification much as consumers do for a whole range of products. A stamp that says this media house is credible because it follows good editorial and business practices. The news it puts out is not paid for by somebody, the people it hires are not crooks, its scoops are not invented, and the sources it quotes really do exist!
I did not think up this improbable scenario, the Swiss did. They've even come up with a certification standard for all kinds of media. It's called ISAS BCP 9001. There is a Media and Society Foundation in Geneva, which has developed it and their head gave me a colourful example earlier this year of how it could work. The salmon exporters in Chile, he said, were required to have quality certification for their product, so they in turn were now demanding it for the TV channels they advertised on. He also explained why this initiative was born in Geneva. Contrary to the bland assumptions one might make about the Swiss, their media faces a lot of commercial pressure. "In Geneva the advertisers are practically in the newsroom."
Ensuring quality
ISAS BCP 9001:2010 describes itself as a quality management standard dedicated to media industries. What would an agency registered to grant such certification look for? Information quality, for one. Does the organisation have best practices for verification of the information it carries? How fast does it rectify incorrect information? Does it have a clear editorial policy? Does it distinguish opinions from facts?
Does it have rules for interaction with social, economic and political actors? Translation: are those friendly interviews with businessmen on the business news channels genuine or paid for, in cash or advertising? Are the politicians you write about paying you to give their electoral prospects a thumbs up? Are those stars whose movies are releasing on the weekend there on your channel for perfectly kosher reasons?
Then there are laid down 'relationship with advertiser' norms which require among other things that a total separation be ensured between advertising and information. When it is not, you get what is called paid news.
Quality criteria: does the media organisation provide information and perspectives enabling citizens to participate in public and political life? Does it contribute to the explanation of important developments within a society? Does it cater to the needs of minorities? Does it reflect diversity of opinions, interests and needs? Does it play the role of watchdog?
How does one reconcile all these over-the-top virtues, you ask, with the ground realities of having ratings-driven advertisers to please? But that's the point — can some advertisers, like the government which is the country's biggest advertiser, be persuaded to have other criteria?
Then there are issues of staff quality and management practices: Are the journalists trained? Is there an overdependence on untrained stringers? Some of this country's highest circulated regional newspapers would have a tough time answering that. But if it isn't okay to have citizen pilots or doctors, why is it okay to have citizen journalists? Because media is not a life and death issue? It is fast becoming one, if TV people are persuading a man to immolate himself for the camera.
Is adequate time allowed for content production in the organisation under scrutiny? Is the channel making the organisers of the event being covered pay the costs, as one of our very respectable English news channels does?
How good are the company's recruitment and performance evaluation practices? Does it have a coherent and transparent system for promotions? Does the management have a good policy of corporate information which makes the following available: a list of shareholders which will also reveal if there is any political ownership, the structure of management, financial information, contact information, filing of complaints and complaint resolution?
Is this doable? Early in the process, owners will begin to scream that all this is encroaching on the freedom of the press. But certification is only mandatory if you want the advertiser or investor's money. Media owners have now become used to corporate due diligence when somebody is planning to invest. All it will take is for the potential investors to start demanding some professional and ethical due diligence as well.
The Media and Society Foundation's list of existing certification bodies includes two auditors in India. And its list of organisations which have expressed interest includes Prasar Bharati. One would love to see that broadcaster clear the criteria on ownership-induced bias.
Are we looking at a possible option to the endless flaffing around on regulation? If this government had the gumption it could say that DAVP advertising would from now on be given on the basis of quality certification. And not be persuaded to change its mind. And who knows, some virtuous businessmen-advertisers, big and small, may follow suit.
Cynics will say that another avenue of corruption will open up. But don't bet on it.

Graham Alexander will call on his playing experience for the biggest match of his managerial career in the play-off final.
Alexander's Fleetwood come up against Burton in the League Two play-off final on Monday after their narrow triumph over York City in the semis.
Former Scotland international Alexander made over 1,000 appearances in a playing career for Scunthorpe, Luton, Preston and Burnley before branching into his first full-time position with the Cod Army.
After narrowly missing out on automatic promotion, the Lancashire club will now head to Wembley knowing they are one win away from an incredible sixth promotion in 10 years.
Alexander knows all about the ecstasy and agony of a play-off campaign and intends to utilise all of those prior experiences, good and bad, in Fleetwood's preparations this week.
"That's all you've got to fall back on," he said following their play-off semi-final success over York.
"When you go into coaching as a novice manager all of your experience is your playing days. Whatever you picked up from training, other managers, coaches, they all come into it.
"I've tried to use my experience of these occasions in preparation and I'll try and use it again for the final. You can only do so much and the players have got to take that focus themselves."
The 42-year-old spent the bulk of his career at North End, who have never tasted success in the play-offs despite reaching them on nine separate occasions.
"They are sore because you want to win but they are experiences that I would go through again because you have to go through the ups and downs," Alexander added.
"I'd love to go back and change them but you learn from each one as you go along. They've been at different levels, they're great occasions - if you win.
"By the time I got to the one with Burnley I'd been through quite a lot. I had my thoughts on how we should prepare as a team and as a club and now I'm the manager I can take control of that and try and do it the way I think it should be done.
"Whatever you do, all the preparation, there's no guarantee. You've got to tailor it to your players and I think I know my players and I know how to tailor the preparation."
While a number of the Cod Army's players will be visiting Wembley for the first time in their careers, Alexander has fond memories of the London stadium after being part of the Burnley side which achieved promotion into the top flight courtesy of a 1-0 win over Bristol City in 2009.
"It was a great occasion because we won," he admits.
"That's what we have to remember, we're going there to win a game, we're not there to wave at our families. That will be hard enough in itself."

Sexually suggestive workout equipment has really carved out its own category since the advent of the world famous Shake Weight. As all bodybuilding and fitness enthusiasts know, the more a product demonstration looks like a vulgar sex act, the more effective it is.
Shake Weight inventor Johann Verheem claims that the company didn't intend for the devices use to resemble buttering your corn: "We never intended for the women's device ad to have innuendo," he says. "We had a bunch of people here from the industry, and a lot of women on the set, and they didn't make many comments. But it depends how you shake it as well. If you do it based on the three exercises that we have laid out, it's not that suggestive."

Measure your foot with a ruler, using cm or inches; convert to Euro or US using this chart. If you need mondo sizing, please refer to the SCARPA chart on this page/tab. We recommend you purchase two sizes, the size you think you are plus one .5 size bigger for fit testing at home. As long as the products are in like new condition and the packaging is 100% intact, we will credit you for the returned product.
General fitting rules depend on the product's intended use... follow the appropriate guidelines below for best results.
Trail/mountain/approach/lifestyle products:
- The bigger/heavier/more supportive the product, the more you may want to upsize .5 - 1full size. Lighter, softer, more supple shoes can be sized closer to your measured size.
- Note: SCARPA Plastic mountain boots all use UK sizing; UK converts easily: 1 full size smaller than US men's size, 2 sizes smaller than US women's size.
- Try on with appropriate socks for your usage. The bigger the boot, the more appropriate a bigger sock (sounds crazy, huh?)
- If you use orthotics or already have aftermarket footbeds, measure against the standard footbed in boot. Fit into boot for sizing/fitting the boot.
- Best to try on at the end of the day when your feet are larger/swollen, than when your feet are fresh to ensure good fit after a long day.
- Lacing can play an incredibly important part of a good fit. Be sure to play with lacing when analyzing fit.
- Make sure your heel isn't slipping.
- Make sure your toes aren't hitting the end.
**Approach shoes may be sized smaller for performance purposes but beware... small shoes are really uncomfortable on the trail.
Rock climbing shoes
- From your measured size, you'll want to consider downsizing .5 - 2 full sizes. The flatter the shoe, the closer to your measured size; the more downturned/aggressive the shoe, the more you'll want to downsize.
- The best fit is comparative between sizes and only you will be able to judge that, though an experience climber could offer good insights to your fit.
- If it feels painful, it may break in... or it may not.
- Pain sucks as a rule of thumb though and makes climbing miserable.
- Only you can judge what's 'acceptable' discomfort.
- Good fitting rock shoes shouldn't necessarily be 'comfortable' by walking/running shoe standards.
- Look for looseness/bagginess in the toes and heel. Bagginess can mean 'slop' when climbing with feet perspiring, etc.
- Toes should completely fill the toebox.
- Heel should feel solid; like they won't pull off if heel hooking.
- Any foot movement in new shoes will mean sloppy fit when broken in.
Ski boots
- From your measured foot, convert to US size using the scale. Translate the US size to Mondo size using the SCARPA mondo scale (not 'true' mondo conversion)
- Shell fit: taking liner out of the shell and inserting foot, toes touching end of shell but completely flat.
- Should have 1.5 - 2 fingers of space behind heel and heel of shell (between 14mm - 20mm)
- Too little space = go up one shell
- Too much space = go down one shell
- If not sure... fit test BOTH shell sizes
- Put on a ski sock for gosh sake!
- Use and orthotic? Put it the boot (after taking out the standard footbed).
- Put foot in boot AND BUCKLE IT! You can not tell a boot fit without buckling it
- This will pull your heel back into the heel pocket, relieving cramped toe space
- Boots do pack out! A 'comfy' fit when new will mean slop later.
- Regardless, your toes should NOT be pressed against the end of the liner
- Get your Intuition liners molded! This provides THE BEST FIT available.
- Any minor pressure points or space will be eliminated by molding
- Find an experience SCARPA dealer for fitting/molding
- Boot fitting is an incredible service and generally requires a service fee of varying amounts... it's worth it though!

I lived in these boots for 2 weeks while trekking to Everest Base Camp. They were perfect for the ever changing landscape and conditions. I never minded slipping them on in the morning after 8 hours of hiking the day before and even slept with them on one night, anything to keep the feet warm!

These are may be the best boots, l've ever pulled on my feets. Extremely comfortable, warm, waterproof and at last good looking. You can use the for almost all purposes. Do not hesitate if you want great boot for tourism. Just buy them and you wont regret it for sure.

I love these boots. I live in Alaska and have been hiking, packing, and hunting with these boots in everything from rock scree to that spongy tundra surface and I couldn't be happier. They are made in Italy so thumbs up on that too! Just remember you get what you pay for and these are worth every dime!

I can spend all day long in heavy rain or cross wet lands without getting wet. Even if the leather soaks. The Goretex is great. And my feet don't get sweaty (merino wool socks + polypropylene liner). The rubber started to unstick after a few use though...

Best boots I have ever owned, so far I couldn't be more pleased with them. I am going to put them through their paces this summer and we'll see how they hold up.

And the Pirates are into most of them. But to make some things clear which shouldn't be mixed up atm: Norf has shown off his "Blue Wonder" Hexa based on DIYDrones hardware (APM + IMU + magneto + GPS). You can already buy a complete ARF/RTF ArduCopter in the US, Asia and Europe. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1255371 There are 3 different software developments, supported by Pirates: - the first is the ArduPirates NG code which is capable of what Norf has shown. We have a very stable base for further developments like waypoint navigation. The Pirates' main coder Hein is working on an Octo version with standard ESCs. And there is much more to come from the Pirates! - the second one is the development of the ACM (ArduCopter Mega) by the "original" Arducopter team. It's at alpha stage right now but there are already proofs of concept for features like the well known MK "carefree". -the third one is the famous MutiWii code by Alexinparis. His code is being beta tested for the upcoming Flyduino, IMU and other sensors right now. His single file solution provides the best and stable code for pretty cheap sensors I've ever seen. So it's only a matter of time when the MultiWhatever will be there where the MK, UAVX and Arducopter already are. Also there are several projects by other Pirates like Ted Carancho's well known AeroQuad or Roberto's brand new MultiFox. More flight controllers made in Israel and Spain, code portations from one platform to another and so on... To answer your initial question: YES, there is a MK killer at the horizon. Norf's Hexa is the visible proof! Thx to Open Source others will follow soon... |

With a $3.4 million renewal, the district considers nearly $7 million in levy requests.
The South Washington County School District is preparing to ask voters this fall to not only renew $3.4 million in operating money per year but also to increase that funding by another $3.5 million annually.
Proposed uses for the funds include security and technology improvements and class-size reduction.
Spending details currently are unavailable, but Superintendent Keith Jacobus pledged last week to make clear to voters long before they head to the polls in November precisely what they will be getting for their money.
The school board also is expected to decide on July 16 to put before voters an $8 million bond request to finance the purchase of 80 acres of land that one day could be used to build new elementary and middle schools.
The proposal for beefed-up operating funds would increase taxes on a $250,000 home by $60 per year, while the land-acquisition proposal would add another $20 annually, the district said.
This spring, a majority of district residents surveyed by Decision Resources Ltd. expressed a willingness to pay an additional $5 per month, or $60 per year, for operating expenditures, an amount that would boost the current $3.4 million in funding to about $6.9 million, or $516 per pupil.
In a workshop session last week, board members made repeated references to the survey — specifically the support for the $5 per month increase — in agreeing informally to back the $6.9 million funding plan.
But Board Member Jim Gelbmann suggested that the board seek even more money, perhaps with another ballot question proposing to raise an additional $100 per pupil — funding that would go directly to schools.
Jacobus said that the administration was preparing language for such a question for board review on Tuesday. But for now, the prospects of that question hitting the ballot seemed less certain last week than did the operating levy and land acquisition proposals.
"That one is truly exploratory," Jacobus said.
During the workshop session, the board had before it six levy proposals raising between $317 per pupil, or $3 million, and $548 per pupil, or $7.5 million annually.
Jacobus, when asked by board members what the $516 per pupil, or $6.9 million, could buy, said that safety and technology needs would be addressed. Some money also could used to shrink class sizes, he said.
But the district might not be able to spend as much as it would like on curriculum, he said. Still, overall, he added, "I think it's a realistic number to start us down the path."
He and others noted that the district will have a $708 per pupil, or $14.9 million levy, up for renewal in 2017, and it could consider additional spending then, they said.
The district, which has been growing, has yet to identify a site that it might acquire for new schools, Jacobus said. But officials are in regular contact with city officials, and know what is available, he added.
Mike Vogel, the district's director of operations, said, "The long-term growth in this area is going to be substantial."

Redistricting Roundup: Drama over North Carolina maps continues
For Email Marketing you can trust
July 22, 2011
Edited by Geoff Pallay
North Carolina has seen a number of intense partisan battles as state Republicans slowly release their plans for legislative and Congressional districts. On June 17, GOP lawmakers released plans for the state legislature's Voting Rights Act districts. On July 1 and July 12, they released full proposals for the Congressional and legislative district, respectively. The plans were swiftly labeled blatant partisan gerrymandering and transparent attempts to pack minority voters. The state NAACP has threatened legal action. However, authors of the plans insist that plans are competitive, legal, and fair to minorities.
On Tuesday, the North Carolina GOP released a revised version of its Congressional redistricting maps. Overall, the map is seen as significantly worse for the state's Congressional Democrats.
Unlike the previous plan which weakened four Democratic districts but kept incumbents within their original districts, the new draft pairs four Democrats in two districts. Specifically, the plan pairs Reps. Larry Kissell (D) and Mike McIntyre (D) in the strongly-Republican 8th District. The plan also pairs Rep. Brad Miller (D) and Rep David Price (D) in Price's District 4. Miller, who still lives near his old district (13), does not plan to challenge Price. McIntyre could return to his old District 7, but its Democratic base has been weakened.
Opponents reiterated claims that the plan is overtly partisan, but Republican redistricting leaders Sen. Bob Rucho and Rep. David Lewis contest this claim, noting that Democratic Attorney General Roy Cooper would have won in each of the new districts. Rucho and Lewis' press release on the plan can be found here.
North Carolina GOP Congressional Redistricting Proposal |
State news
Quote of the Week |
"There's no way to draw a district that isn't gerrymandered, because gerrymandering means drawing a map for political purposes, well that's what we're doing, [we're] drawing a map for political purposes. We're deciding who's going to represent people." - Michael Waddoups, Utah Senate President [1] |
Shortly after the completion of legislative maps, Alaska had spent $1.5 million on the redistricting process. The Redistricting Board has budgeted another $1.4 million for defending the plan against lawsuits and pursuing Department of Justice approval of the plan under the Voting Rights Act. In total, three lawsuits have been filed over the plan -- two in the Fairbanks area and one by the city of Petersburg. The board plans to submits the maps to the DOJ within two weeks.
Attorney General Tom Horne (R) has launched an investigation into whether the redistricting commission violated state procurement and open meeting laws. Horne said they "don't have any reason to believe that anything was done wrong" but his office will still investigate in order to solidify confidence in the process. Commission executive director Ray Bladine says rules have been followed properly. However, State senator Frank Antenori (R) maintains he has proof that laws were broken -- including evidence that government documents subject to public records request were destroyed. An investigation by the Arizona Capitol Times last week first detailed the possible open meeting and procurement violations. According to that report, the commission has met behind closed doors for 37 hours in executive session this year.
Governor Mike Beebe and Attorney General Dustin McDaniel released their initial senate map proposals in late July 2011. The two maps were largely similar and drew some criticism from some incumbents. Bruce Holland (R) said of the maps: "It pretty much destroys my district." According to Beebe spokeswoman Stacey Hall, the proposed map would not place any two existing incumbents in the same district. Kim Hendren also expressed displeasure at the proposed map. Another Senator Jack Crumbly (D) was displeased to see the African-American population decrease in his district. Secretary of State Mark Martin (R) released his proposed map earlier in the summer.
The proposed House maps differ with respect to majority-minority districts. Currently, there are 13 such districts. The Beebe and McDaniel maps would create 11 majority-minority districts. Meanwhile, the Martin map creates 15 districts.
The Board of Apportionment -- consisting of Beebe, McDaniel and Martin -- will meet on July 29 to vote on maps. The maps are available for viewing here.
The California Republican Party chair -- Tom Del Beccaro -- hinted at a possible voter referendum to challenge the finalized maps; if the party is displeased with the results. Once maps are finalized on August 15, opponents would have until November 15 in order to collect 504,760 valid signatures that would be needed to trigger a map review by the California Supreme Court. Currently, the commission is interviewing legal teams to hire for a court fight -- at a cost of up to $500,000.
Meanwhile, speculation also continues that the new maps will provide the foundation to allow the Democratic Party to achieve a 2/3 majority in both the Senate and Assembly -- thereby removing the need to negotiate with the GOP over tax issues.
One additional unique matter is the predicament facing Ted Gaines and Beth Gaines. Ted is a former Assemblyman who won a special election earlier this year to the Senate. Beth then went on to win the special election for Ted's Assembly seat. But the new maps indicate that Beth's Assembly seat would likely be safe for the GOP, while Ted's Senate district would lean strongly Democratic. Meaning, if Ted wanted to protect his Senate career, he might consider moving to another district. But doing so could jeopardize Beth's chances at re-election.
According to Republican commissioner Peter Yao, there are roughly 300 email suggestions coming in daily to the commission. The new maps will be released by August 1 in advance of a vote by August 15.

On June 28, the Hawaii Reapportionment Commission voted 8-1 to include non-resident students and military personnel in redistricting calculations. On Tuesday, Attorney General David M. Louie (D) approved an advisory opinion written by Deputy Attorney General Charleen Aina, stating that the Hawaii Supreme Court would be likely to overturn the Commission's decision. She cites a 2005 case in which the court ruled that the term "resident population," as found in the Hawaii County Charter, only referred to actual residents for purposes of local redistricting. Aina argues that the Supreme Court is likely to reach a similar decision at the state level.
Nevada's redistricting process is engulfed in legal disputes over the makeup of Congressional and legislative maps. The sticking point comes down to minority representation -- Democrats have proposed maps that Republicans contend dilute the voice of minority voters by spreading them across the state. Democrats argue that Republicans are simply trying to weaken those voters via packing. This week, the legal representation for both sides asked the court to rule on whether legally, the state is required to draw a Congressional majority-minority district because of the large presence of minority voters. Before the judge appoints panel members to re-draw the districts, both parties have stressed that the majority-minority district situation requires a resolution.
Meanwhile, Secretary of State Ross Miller submitted a list of possible candidates for the panel to Judge James Todd Russell.
New Jersey
The 13th member of the New Jersey Congressional redistricting commission has been chosen. John Farmer Jr -- former Attorney General of New Jersey -- was selected by the 12 existing commissioners. Farmer previously served as counsel to Alan Rosenthal during the recent state legislative redistricting process. New Jersey will be drawing one fewer Congressional seat this year -- going from 13 down to 12.
New York
The Legislative Task Force on Demographic Research and Reapportionment (LATFOR), responsible for redistricting, held its first public meeting this week in Syracuse. Although the state has witnessed a major push to establish an independent redistricting commission, lawmakers -- mostly Republicans -- are saying there is not enough time to establish a new protocol and complete the process before primaries next year. Currently, districts can vary by as much as 10 percent. Like with public meetings about redistricting held across the country, the mood in Syracuse was the same -- don't split communities of interest. On Wednesday, 18 individuals shared their thoughts with LATFOR during a public hearing in Rochester.
The League of Women Voters, Ohio Citizen Action, and Draw the Line Ohio is sponsoring a public competition to redraw Ohio's congressional and legislative boundaries. The competition will award $5,000 in cash prizes, and entries will be judged on their ability to preserve county boundaries, create compact districts, ensure representational fairness, and promote political competitiveness. The winning plans will also be submitted to the state for consideration.
South Carolina
In advance of the redistricting session next Tuesday, Republican Senators Glenn McConnell and Larry Grooms -- essentially the designated spokespersons for the competing maps -- took to the media outlets to defend their versions. McConnell recommends passage of the map that centers the new 7th Congressional District in the "Peedee" region. Grooms meanwhile, backs the plan to construct the 7th Congressional District around Beaufort County. Both senators published editorials outlining their stance. Coincidentally -- or perhaps ironically -- both legislators described their plan as the "common sense" map.
Governor Rick Perry signed Texas's congressional redistricting map into law on Monday. On Tuesday, Attorney General Greg Abbott submitted Texas's four redistricting maps to a panel of three federal judges in Washington DC. Texas is among the states that must submit their redistricting plans to the federal government for approval under the auspices of the Voting Rights Act. The standard route for obtaining federal approval is for states to submit their plans to the Voting Rights Division of the Department of Justice; this is the route Texas has taken in the past. But political tension between Texas and the Obama administration's DOJ led state leaders to circumvent the traditional route this cycle.
In a move that has confused observers and spawned speculation, Attorney General Abbot simultaneously submitted the maps to the DOJ for preclearance. Abbott said filing the maps with the DOJ was "to facilitate and expedite disposition of this matter."
This Week's Redistricting Highlight |
Republican Senate leader Christine Radogno and House Republican leader Tom Cross filed a federal lawsuit on July 21 seeking to invalidate the legislative maps drawn by Democrats. They allege the new maps unfairly target Republicans and violate the Voting Rights Act by discriminating against African-Americans and Hispanics, as well as violating the state constitution's compactness requirement. The case will be heard by a three-judge panel in U.S. District Court. If successful, either parts or the whole of the map could be redrawn. |
At least two local boards of civil authority have voted to oppose the Apportionment Board's elimination of multi-member districts within their local area. In Montpelier, district lines were redrawn in order to create two districts without displacing any incumbents. However, because the city's two incumbents live on the same street, the resulting lines were less than intuitive. Bennington has also opposed the plan, arguing that stable local population growth meant that no change was necessary for their district. While these votes are not binding, they are submitted to the legislature for consideration along with the Board's redistricting plan.
West Virginia
On Tuesday, members of the West Virginia House of Delegates submitted a range of legislative redistricting proposals. The plans represent the first round of drafts maps submitted for consideration. The plans reinforced the growing divide between Republicans and Democrats on the future of West Virginia's multi-member districts. One notable area of disagreement in the plans was Monongalia County. Since the last census, it has grown enough to warrant a fifth legislative seat. The question for legislators is whether to further expand the existing multi-member district by adding another seat or make the new seat its own district. Expanding the district would be a setback for smaller or single-member districts. However, making the seat its own district would split the county. This sort of trade-off promises to shape the final map as legislators balance the disparate aims of single and multi-member districts.
On July 19, the Wisconsin State Senate passed new legislative and congressional maps along party lines, with the Assembly passing them two days later. Democrats called the plans an unconstitutional power grab and argued the process was moving too quickly. They were not able to offer an alternative plan in either chamber, saying there was not time to come up with one. The proposals now go to Gov. Scott Walker, who is expected to approve them. Democrats have already had a lawsuit filed and have promised that the courts will have a say before the process is completed.
After six weeks since the appointment of the conference committee and over six months in session, the Virginia General Assembly has yet to reach final decisions on Congressional redistricting and judicial appointments. In a letter dated yesterday, Governor McDonnell urged lawmakers to take swift action to finish business and adjourn. McDonnell noted the deleterious effect of the delays on the court system, and asked the General Assembly to either elect judges or adjourn so that McDonnell can appoint replacements. He also noted that there were no meetings scheduled and no plan set forth for completing Congressional redistricting. Asked about the delays, House leadership blamed the Senate for refusing to discuss the plan. When Senate Majority Leader Dick Saslaw was asked, he replied, "We're back when we're back. That's all we can say."

Well once again I'm writing ^__^ This is one of my new stories.
Here is the Preface:
Everything is so....blurry. I feel a cold wave engulf me. Why did things end this way? I didn't even get to.....
I don't regret what happen. On the contrary, I'm glad I met her. I hope she feels the same way. I'm sure she does....
Truthfully, I thought she was gone forever. She left a big hole in my heart. Where could she have gone? I......
She suddenly came back into my life. The moment I just was about to give up....
Like she knew. Like she always did. Her and her knowing, understanding face....
What is that noise. A...voice? It sounds so....familiar. Like, a voice he knew. Should know? Which one? He....
Could it be.......
Well that is all but I hope you like it. It's just the Preface, so the story will be next, so until post!!! Tell me what you really think. I'll post more later ^__^

The "opening" was so good. The rest of the story will be wonderful. Waiting for your "next chapter".
Renn (Dec 19, 2008), Spirit of Seagill (Dec 19, 2008)
Wooooonderful. I want more of your stories.
Renn (Dec 19, 2008)
Awww!! Thank you so much!! Well here is the next part:
"Come along, Christian."
"I don't want to go!" whines the boy.
"Christian," says the woman, sternly, "We are just going to greet our new neighbors. Besides I think they have a child you can play with."
The boy, Christian, grumbles. He didn't care. He just wanted to play. Besides, it's not like his mom needed him to help. It was a waste of time.
As they came upon the house, Christian looks u to the second story. For a brief second, he sees something in the window. What was it? It…. looked kinda scary.
His mom rings the door bell. They wait for a few moments and the door opens.
A woman, tall and slender, looks at them "Yes? May I help you?"
His mom smiles. "Yes. I'm Cathy Hanes and this is my son, Christian. I thought we come and welcome you to the neighborhood. She hands the woman a covered plate of brownies.
The woman returns her smile. "Oh thank you. I'm Kate Jackson. Do you want to come in?'
"Sure. Come on, Christian." she took hold of his hand.
Christian thought it would be interesting to go into the lady's house, but it was so…. old-looking. It had a lot of vases, pots and lots of other things, he proberly would not be able to touch.
"-if you want. It's in the next room."
"I would love too. Christian, stay here, alright." his mom stood up and walked into the other room with Mrs. Jackson.
Like he was going to stay here. He was going to find out what was on the second story of this house.
He found the stairs. He walks up and when he got to the top, he found a dark hallway.
He saw a some light. He walks toward it slowly.
Christian stood before the door. He could hear a…. voice?
He grabs the door knob and turns it. He opens the door. It was a very bright room. He stood there. A girl, at the window, was singing in a very low tone. It was so….
He moves toward her and as he steps on the wooden floor it squeaks. The girl turns around quickly.
They both look at each other. She was so cute. She was small and fragile-looking. Her dark brown hair was in pigtails. Her big hazel eyes orbs, looks into his brown ones.
Then she began to scream…..
'This world is trash. Cursed by the Fon Master...'

Comments about Royal Oud By Creed:
Along with Aventus and Green Irish Tweed Royal Oud is one of the best male releases from Creed. It's very easy to wear anytime, place or occasion. It's woody first and foremost but maintains a freshness that only Creed can do. Silage is polite, other will notice this one you but will not offend anyone. Longevity is actually fantastic as I catch subtle wiffs some 10 hours after application. All an all a great versatile masculine fragrance.

Classic elegance, these diamond hoop earrings showcase 3.5 carats of brilliant Blue Nile Signature Ideal cut round diamonds set in enduring Platinum, a simply graceful and versatile gift appropriate for every occasion. Earrings accompanied by a GCAL report.
View our education section to learn more about our platinum jewelry.
The earrings and diamonds are beautiful. However the clasp is poorly made and does not stay in place securely. For such and expensive item the craftsmanship on the earrings are very low quality. It too easily opens and falls off the ear. I am returning the item.

Your best ticket deal isn't a ticket at all, it's a Kennywood Season Pass!
For more than a century, Kennywood has worked to provide the finest in fun and entertainment for children, families and groups. This has been, and will continue to be, our mission. Within that mission there is also a commitment to serve our Team Members (employees) and the Community at large. Today we have a name for this century long commitment: Kennywood Cares! We strive to be a good neighbor and a good employer in various ways from Direct Ticket Donations (e.g., Tickets for Children's Charities program) and In-Kind Donations (e.g., Greater Pittsburgh Food Bank Donations and Trolley & Costumed Character Appearance) to playing a Supporting Role for Team Members and the Community.
"Anyone who does anything to help a child in this life is a hero to me." -- Fred Rogers
At Kennywood, we agree with our late friend Mister Rogers. That's what the Tickets for Children's Charities program is all about helping others make a difference in the lives of children.
This program helps to provide lasting memories of summer fun to disadvantaged children and/or children with disabilities by providing tickets to the organizations directly serving them. Since 1992, the Kennywood family of parks in Western Pennsylvania - Kennywood, Idlewild & SoakZone, and Sandcastle - have donated nearly 300,000 days of fun.
Applications for Tickets for Children's Charities are received all year long and reviewed in the order in which they are received. Awards and distributions are made after the first of each year, awarding tickets to be used that same year. (Applications received now will be considered after January 15, 2015 for tickets in the 2015 season.)
There are two categories of tickets: one benefiting individual children, and the other benefiting an organization that directly supports children. A rotating committee from each park administers the program.
Apply now to be considered for the 2015 season.
For more than a century, Kennywood has worked to provide the finest in fun and entertainment for children, families and groups. To do so we've teamed with schools, churches, ethnic groups, communities and social service providers. This has been, and will continue to be, our mission.
Across our region, and throughout the country, individuals, groups, and non-profit organizations are working to make this world a better place. While it isn't possible to contribute to every good cause, Kennywood strives to share some of its resources to help meet needs throughout the region. For instance:
Kennywood receives The James F. Compton Humanitarian Award
On September 18, 2014, Kennywood was honored by Life'sWorks of Western Pennsylvania as the recipient of The James F. Compton Humanitarian Award. Life'sWorks President and Board Chair presented the awards during A White House Dinner In Pittsburgh™, a fundraising gala to honor
business and community leaders who have furthered the lives of people with disabilities or other employment barriers.
Great Ohio Coaster Club (GOCC) presents plaque
Michael Burke, president of GOCC, surprised Kennywood with a plaque congratulating the park's oldest operating roller coaster, the Jack Rabbit, on its 85th birthday.
Kennywood Public Safety Department receives Award
Kennywood Entertainment thanks the Pleasant Hills Police Department for submitting its Public Safety Department's name for recognition by the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency Governor's Award program. The Commission commends dedicated organizations for their involvement in, and commitment to, the ideals of Community Oriented Policing.
American Business Ethics Award
It was a most prestigious award, and Kennywood Entertainment Co. was proud to be one of the initial recipients.
Given by the Pittsburgh Chapter of Society of Financial Service Professionals last June. The American Business Ethics Award went to companies in three categories, based on employee totals. The 2001 honors went to Alcoa, Kennywood, and Waller Corporation.
Criteria were formidable. Awardees were chosen based on ethical business practice in everyday operation. Kennywood Entertainment is grateful for this honor.
International Kudos!
The annual trade show of the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) drew 30,000 amusement industry professionals from around the world to Orlando in November. From all those, five individuals were singled out for the 2002 Service Awards. Two were from Kennywood Entertainment Company. Andy Quinn, Director of Community Relations at Kennywood, was presented with the Meritorious Service Award. It's given to "an individual or organization that has improved the industry's standing nationally or internationally." Andy was the IAAPA Government Relations Committee Chairman. The Outstanding Service Award is given to "persons who have constantly fostered a spirit of Goodwill and professionalism in the industry." The recipient was Bobbie Wages, past IAAPA Treasurer and Administrations Director of Lake Compounce, our park in Bristol, Connecticut.
St. Anthony Award
Kennywood's collection of prestigious community awards grew by one in November, 2003. The park was a recipient of the St. Anthony School's 2003 Opportunity Award, one of those made at the annual dinner in the Westin Hotel. Bishop Donald Wuerl made the presentation. It acknowledges Kennywood's employment of students from the school in season positions. St. Anthony's mission is to provide an opportunity for mentally challenged children to attend the same school as their peers.
Best Park of the 20th Century
Kennywood has long been acknowledged as "America's Finest Traditional Amusement Park." That designation has been accorded it by enthusiast organization polls, trade journals and the national media. In 2001 the park received even a loftier status: "Best International Traditional Amusement Park of the 20th Century." The accolade was voted by members of the Roller Coaster Club of Great Britain.

The cosmic microwave background was born about 380,000 years after the Big Bang, when the universe cooled enough to allow the first atoms to form. Photons could suddenly travel unhindered through space, their wavelengths being stretched by the expansion of the universe to leave a haze of microwave radiation in every direction we look.
The first year of WMAP data, released in February 2003, revealed the temperature of this background radiation in exquisite detail. Crucially, it enabled researchers to measure tiny temperature fluctuations thought to have been produced by the same irregularities in space that led to the formation of galaxies.
Now, with three times more data, the WMAP team has measured the incredibly weak polarization signal of the photons, allowing cosmologists to infer how much the fluctuations are due to the distorting effects of matter and how much they are due to gravity waves in the infant universe. These measurements place strong constraints on models of inflation, a period that began 10-35 seconds after the Big Bang during which the universe is thought to have undergone an enormous expansion. Furthermore, since the polarization of the photons would have been affected by the presence of ionizing material, the latest data show that the first stars formed when the universe was 400 million years old -- and not 200 million years as was previously thought.
The keenly awaited results, which were announced at a press conference at Princeton University yesterday, also confirm that we live in a flat universe comprising just 4% ordinary matter, 22% dark matter and 74% dark energy -- in agreement with the standard model of cosmology.
"This is brand new territory," says WMAP team member Lyman Page. "We are quantifying the cosmos in a different way to open up a new window for understanding the universe in its earliest times."
