Source: Red Sox eye R.A. Dickey
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- New York Mets general manager Sandy Alderson spent his first full day at the winter meetings discussing trade options for the reigning National League Cy Young Award winner.
Alderson said his Monday agenda has been busy with meetings with potential suitors for 20-game winner R.A. Dickey. The knuckleballer is under contract for next season at $5 million, but the Mets are serious about trading him this offseason if an extension cannot be reached.
White-Knuckle Time For Dickey?
Could knuckleballer R.A. Dickey join this list of Cy Young Award winners who started the next season with another team?
Pvs | New | |
Catfish Hunter | '74 A's | '75 Yankees |
Mark Davis | '89 Padres | '90 Royals |
Greg Maddux | '92 Cubs | '93 Braves |
David Cone | '94 Royals | '95 Tor/NYY |
Pedro Martinez | '97 Expos | '98 Red Sox |
Roger Clemens | '98 Jays | '99 Yankees |
The suitors include the Boston Red Sox, according to a baseball source. Red Sox GM Ben Cherington and Alderson met Monday afternoon, with New York looking for outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. and shortstop Xander Boegarts in exchange for the Cy Young Award winner, the source said. However, it's unlikely the Red Sox would part with those top prospects.
The Mets met with eight teams Monday about Dickey, the source said.
Alderson insisted he had not resolved to trade Dickey, nor would he say the momentum had moved appreciably in that direction. Still, the GM added, he had not even spoken with Bo McKinnis, Dickey's agent, since arriving in Nashville.
"I don't know whether he's at the hotel," Alderson said. "I haven't met with him. I haven't talked to him."
Only six previous Cy Young winners have opened the following season with another club, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
Alderson added about the trade talks: "Everything we did today was preliminary. We've met with several clubs on a variety of topics -- not just R.A. We expect to do that the remainder of the afternoon and maybe this evening as well."
He acknowledged also speaking with clubs about left-hander Jonathon Niese.
Alderson said he would be looking for "difference-makers" in return for Dickey -- not low-Class A prospects. He added that the incoming player would not necessarily have to be an outfielder or catcher, the two areas of most glaring need for the club.
"What we've tried to say to ourselves is that we have to get back difference-makers," Alderson said. "It doesn't have to be a catcher. It doesn't have to be an outfielder. It doesn't have to be anything. But it has to be a difference-maker. Because R.A. is a difference-maker."
Alderson insisted that trading a reigning Cy Young winner would not be an indication the Mets are pessimistic about their 2013 chances.
"Are we punting '13? Absolutely not," Alderson said. "This is not about making a trade for four players from the Appalachian League. You have to balance the quality of the player with the potential arrival date of the player, obviously. That's something we're trying to do. But it is important for us if we're going to do something -- and I want to emphasize, we may not -- if we do something, we want whatever comes back to us to have an impact on us as soon as possible."
Alderson said a resolution with Zack Greinke as a free agent definitely could affect how much the Mets could command for Dickey in a trade.
"Any time you're looking at a market, you're looking at options," Alderson said. "The more options there are, the more supply, the lower the demand typically. Working in baseball as it typically does, Greinke will have an impact."
The Mets might give a team a window to negotiate an extension with Dickey.
"Putting aside R.A.'s situation, any time you're providing a window, it complicates things and creates uncertainty," Alderson said. "It's something you'd like to avoid. If you feel you have to grant that, there might be some value to that. It's going to depend from club to club."
Asked if Dickey's popularity and potential fan backlash is a consideration in any potential Dickey deal, Alderson said: "It's a consideration, but in the event we're able to return a difference-maker, I think many of our fans are able to understand the value in that. We recognize the value that R.A. represents to us. But I think our fans understand what we're trying to do, where we're trying to go."

Choosing between ABD and Tauck, both look wonderful but Tauck trip almost $3000 less. Both receive great reviews, both 1st class. Advice? Traveling with 13 ABD 9 yr old children. Both tours are designated 'family trips.'
Here is a link to kjd469's post giving her feedback on the Tauck Bridges Costa Rica trip from the perspective of an experienced ABD traveler: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2512881&highlight=costa+rica I've been on 3 ABDs (one being Costa Rica, ABD #4 coming up in March) and 2 Tauck trips. They are very similar. From my limited experience, there were more kids on the Tauck trips, but I'm sure that's not always the case. Biggest difference is 2 guides with ABD vs. 1 with Tauck. With 2 guides, it's less likely that any of the details will fall between the cracks and if there is a problem one guide can deal with it while the other guide continues as normal, minimizing trip disruption. On the other hand, two guides to tip with ABD vs. zero with TB, since it's included in the price of the trip. I've found the food to be better on the Tauck trips. With ABD you have 2 guides taking photos of your family and you receive a photo CD in the mail after you get home. This isn't standard with TB trips, but on one of our trips our Tauck guide took photos throughout the trip and she made CDs that she handed out to the families at the farewell dinner. But that was at the guides discretion, so it's not guaranteed like it is with ABD.

The outspoken Englishman hits out at the Football Association over their decision to draft the Ivory Coast-born Crystal Palace youngster into Roy Hodgson's Three Lions squad
Joey Barton has questioned the motives behind the decision to hand Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha a maiden call-up to the senior England squad.Following a string of injuries to several Three Lions stars, the Ivory Coast-born attacker was drafted into Roy Hodgson's party for the first time on Sunday.
But Barton, whose only England cap came back in 2007, believes that the FA has made the move in order to prevent Zaha being capped by the country of his birth.
"Not a fan of the latest craze, giving caps out so as players don't go and play for other countries. Doesn't sit well with me that...," he wrote on Twitter.
16/1 | Raheem Sterling is 16/1 with Bet365 to score the first goal in Sweden v England |
The Marseille loanee also expressed disappointment at former Newcastle midfield partner Kevin Nolan's continued omission from the England setup.
"Good to see Leon Osman get a call up, about time. My brain is asking why no Kevin Nolan? Surely, he warrants a call up more than most?" he added.
"On Premier League goals alone, consistently for the last 8 yrs, he deserves at least a call up.
"Osman [has been a] good player in the last few years. But he's 32 and isn't gonna improve an average side. If they're giving out charity caps, all I am saying is, Nolan should have had a call up years ago.
"As for me, well that's something entirely different. Let's not go there."

Pine Trestle Tables can be a stunning show piece to any dining room. If made from very old pine floorboards, and the stretcher an ends also made from very old rustic boards, and waxed nicely, these can look beautiful. Be careful when having such a table made for you, because if not made from old pine it can look wrong.
Pine turned leg tables tend to be used more as kitchen tables. If your pine table is newly made, even if the tops have been made from old pine floorboards (to give an authentic antique look) the legs can be made from new pine. These can then be distressed, treated with an ageing solution (caustic) and then wax finished. The eye is usually drawn more to the table top rather than the base so, as long as the tone and colour is similar this is usually fine. See images here of all types of turned leg tables
Pine Refectory tables tend to have straight - square or turned legs, and one stretcher between the legs at the ends, and another joining in the centre of the first stretcher, and running along the length of the table. You can find some beautiful pine tables for sale in Oxfordshire here. The first image on the right is of an old pine refectory table with square legs. The second is a refectory table with turned legs.

Perhaps the greenest home is the one already built. A couple in the city of San Juan, Puerto Rico took this to heart when they renovated an abandoned early eightieth-century home and transformed it into an urban garden. This 9000 square foot building was carefully upgraded and preserved with a light modernist touch. The couple had very different ideas for a home so they compromised by doing both — the husband has a large vegetable garden and green roof, while the wife enjoys the home's location in the heart of town and runs her arts nonprofit on-site.
The colonial building was boarded up for decades, so the couple had major restoration work to do. Doing the design work themselves, they kept the original floor plan intact — touches like freshly-plastered walls and polished concrete floors harmonize the interior. The large flat roof was converted to a vegetable garden and grassy area. In the dense downtown neighborhood this small patch of green gives the family food and a place to be outside, above the bustling and colorful neighborhood. The list of produce they acquire from their urban garden is impressive — green beans, tomatoes, eggplants, sweet potatoes, scallions, rosemary, basil and other herbs.

Council backs Forres flood prevention scheme
Councillors have backed a £40m flood prevention scheme for Forres in a bid to protect homes and businesses.
Members of Moray Council's planning committee gave officers the power to grant approval once some "routine matters" are finalised.
Next week will see the start of a local public inquiry into the application for a flood prevention order for the scheme.
Moray has been badly affected by flooding in recent years.

The FTF's could be a mag problem

The FTF's could be a mag problem
"Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country,"
--Mayor Marion Barry, Washington , DC .
Take a look at the 1911.org web site, I (and many others) had the same problem with our Defenders.

Well, any firearm that tosses brass back into your face is a dangerous subliminal distraction in a self defense scenario. The brain never likes the body to get hit in the face with anything.
First I would try a different ammo.
I would also lube your rails with a slippery gun grease rather than oil - that might add a little bit more oomph to your forward slide movement.
Your FTFeed problems could very likely be an extractor related issue also.
If your ejector is not loose and wiggling around - then a pistol that ejects brass in randomly different directions is usually due to an incorrect extractor tension problem.
Easily solved and inexpensive problem to fix but, you need to know what you are doing.
A good local pistol smith in your area should be able to take care of it.
Liberty Over Tyranny Μολὼν λαβέ
There are 2 well discussed problems with the Colt Defender, Brass in the face (I have scars to prove it) and the Colt Mags (I trashed mine and got Wilson Combat.)
The problem with the ejected brass is the extractor and the gap in the head, in some cases the head is too thick and it doesn't fully engage the casing as it is being ejected. Log onto the 1911.org and search for Colt Defender and you'll find the manual fix, I would suggest you send it to a gunsmith though. The Colt Mags for the Defender "sux" IMO. I was getting FTF almost every mag, until I got the Wilson Combat Mags and then the problems disappeared.
This post may sound like I'm trashing the Colt Defender, I'm not. Once the initial problems discussed above are resolved this will quickly become a favorite carry. I've not heard of many 3" 1911 platforms in 45 ACP that didn't have initial problems and that includes Kimber, SA, Baer, and so on... Change out the grips and this is one of the best CCW out there and it uses 45 ACP or did I already mention that .

The Cure For Cracked And Bleeding Feet.Oct 30, 2000 (Updated Jun 13, 2013)
Popular Products in Personal Care
The Bottom Line You don't have to be in agony with dry feet any more!
The last thing I expected to happen to me from my daily walks on the beach were dry, cracked and bleeding feet. I always wore a hat to protect my hair and sunscreen to protect my arms and legs but my feet were getting the third degree. Face it, you can't walk in sand with shoes on unless you want to be cleaning it up for the next few days. I have tried several different products to help my dry skin; all of them worked to a certain degree but each had a specific draw back. Most lotions worked well but left my feet greasy and resulted in every piece of hair in the carpeting or on the floor being glued to my feet. Not a nice feeling at all. I tried Freeman's Bare Foot Plum & Pumice Foot Scrub after a friend recommended it. This is a great product for removing small amounts of dry skin but it wasn't strong enough to really clear away the mass amounts of dry skin I had accumulated. |

We'll see you all out there!
Good bye 2011…hello 2012! Thanks to everyone who helped us ring in the New Year at the Castle Theater. Jaik, Cody and Dan Hubbard and the Humadors all threw it down. Thanks to Andy "Light it Up" Kotansky for…well…lighting it up, Bryan Flick for running sound, Zach Swinderman for making it all happen and the Castle Theater for throwing the best party in town. But especially thanks to everyone who came out… without you it would have been lame. Check out pictures taken by Jay Miller of Gaian Eye on our pics page.

Miss France, ante-post favourite for the QIPCO 1000 Guineas, could only finish sixth in the Prix Imprudence at Maisons-Laffitte.
Touched off in a Group Three last year, the Francois Doumen-trained Xcellence, who races in the silks made famous by Kasbah Bliss, was a surprise winner of the Guineas trial.
It was billed as a head-to-head between Andre Fabre's Miss France and Vorda, winner of the Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket.
Vorda was in the prime position just behind the leader as they went a pedestrian early gallop, and Maxime Guyon struggled to get Miss France settled at the back.
Miss France was caught flat-footed for a few strides once Vorda kicked clear and looked like she would be well beaten.
Fabre's inmate finally got going close home, by which time Cristian Demuro had pulled Xcellence out to challenge Vorda and quickened up nicely to take the Group Three in some style.

Twice-Glazed Asian Barbecued Chicken
Instead of the usual smoky-sweet tomato-based barbecue sauce, Mike Sheerin of Chicago's Blackbird bases his Asian-style version on oyster sauce, soy sauce and roasted garlic, with toasted black peppercorns added for heat. The sauce is superb glazed on chicken, but it would also be great on pork or steak.
- 6 garlic cloves, unpeeled
- 1 1/2 teaspoons black peppercorns
- 1 onion, coarsely chopped
- 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup oyster sauce
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/3 cup water
- 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
- 4 boneless, skin-on chicken breast halves (about 6 ounces each)
- Cucumber-Cherry Salad, for serving
- Preheat the oven to 350°. Wrap the garlic cloves in foil and bake for about 30 minutes, until soft. Squeeze the garlic from the skins into a small bowl.
- Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, cook the peppercorns over moderately high heat, shaking the skillet occasionally, until they are smoking and fragrant, 2 minutes. Transfer the peppercorns to a spice grinder and let cool completely, then grind to a coarse powder.
- In the same skillet, cook the chopped onion in the vegetable oil over moderate heat, covered but stirring occasionally, until the onion is caramelized, about 10 minutes. Add the roasted garlic, ground black pepper and oyster sauce and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the soy sauce and cook until reduced by half, about 1 minute. Add the water and white wine vinegar and simmer over moderate heat until the barbecue sauce is very thick, about 5 minutes. Transfer the barbecue sauce to a blender and puree until smooth.
- Light a grill. Oil the grates and grill the chicken skin side down over moderately high heat until the skin is crisp, about 7 minutes. Turn the chicken and cook over moderate heat until the chicken is almost white throughout, about 5 minutes. Generously brush the barbecue sauce onto the skin; turn and grill until glazed, about 30 seconds. Generously brush the other side with sauce, turn and grill the chicken until glazed. Repeat the glazing on both sides. Transfer the chicken to a work surface to rest for 5 minutes.
- Slice the chicken breasts crosswise and transfer to plates. Serve with the Cucumber-Cherry Salad.
Suggested Pairing
Red Côtes-du-Rhônes (blends of varying amounts of Syrah, Grenache and other Rhône grape varieties) often fea- ture bright cherry flavors and a citrusy acidity that will complement this peppery barbecue.

You just gave me a good reason to take the family to Long John Silvers for dinner. It used to be one of my favorite places to eat as a child and I loved their onion rings. I haven't been there in several years so they are probably a bit more expensive than I remember.

LOVE onion rings – yea! Thanks for the mention, Aaron. Lots of great stuff here!

(Getty Images)The National Football League and more than 4,500 retired players and their family members reached a proposed $765 million settlement of concussion-related lawsuits, a district court announced Thursday.The players filed the lawsuit against the league claiming the NFL hid known concussion risks, leading to high rates of dementia, depression and even suicides.The plaintiffs included at least 10 members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, including former Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Dorsett, Super Bowl-winning quarterback Jim McMahon and the family of Pro Bowl linebacker Junior Seau, who committed suicide last year. According to terms of the settlement, the NFL does not admit liability or that injuries were caused by football.Senior U.S. District Judge Anita Brody was set to rule on the case in July, but ordered the two sides to try to negotiate and report back to her by Sept. 3.As a result, the NFL will pay $765 million "to fund medical exams, concussion-related compensation, and a program of medical research'' for the 4,500 plaintiffs in the case."This is a historic agreement, one that will make sure that former NFL players who need and deserve compensation will receive it, and that will promote safety for players at all levels of football," Former United States District Judge Layn Phillips, the court-appointed mediator, said in a statement. "Rather than litigate literally thousands of complex individual claims over many years, the parties have reached an agreement that, if approved, will provide relief and support where it is needed at a time when it is most needed. I am deeply grateful to Judge Brody for appointing me as mediator and offering me the opportunity to work on such an important and interesting matter." Promoted Stories Comments

Weapons, police equipment stolen from SWAT supervisor's vehicle in Old East Dallas
10:52 PM CDT on Thursday, October 29, 2009
By SCOTT GOLDSTEIN / The Dallas Morning News
Dallas police are investigating the burglary of a SWAT supervisor's vehicle from which thousands of dollars in weapons, ammunition, police uniforms and other equipment was taken, according to a police report.
The burglary of Sgt. Vincent Lee's unmarked sport utility vehicle was reported early Thursday in the 2700 block of North Fitzhugh Avenue near North Central Expressway, the report said.
Among the items stolen were a rifle, Dallas police badge, police radios and body armor. The burglar also took a device that sets off a harmless explosion and is sometimes used by officers to distract and apprehend suspects.
Police said a department-wide alert was issued regarding the burglary. No arrests were reported in the case Thursday night, police said.

We had an ice storm a few years back and there were major power outages all over town. It seemed like everyone was buying an electric current generator. However, these appliances can be very dangerous, and we didn't recommend that people use them to power the whole "grid" in the house. If the power came back on while the generator was plugged into the house, it could create real problems.
Even today, I don't recommend these devices to anyone except people who work in the power industry or electricians who really understand how they work. At minimum, I would suggest you buy a small, portable unit that will power a few appliances in your house—like a heater for example, but don't try to power up the whole house with a backup generator. You can easily start a fire.

Brief Synopsis
As American operations against terrorism spread around the globe to places like Afghanistan and the Philippines, an increasing tendency has been for commentators to draw parallels with past experience in Vietnam. Even soldiers on the ground have begun to speak in such terms. The author analyzes the Army's response to that defeat in Southeast Asia and its long-term impact. Contrary to the accepted wisdom that nations which lose wars tend to learn best how to correct their mistakes, he argues that Americans tried to forget the unhappy experience with counterinsurgency by refocusing on conventional wars. While that process eventually produced the powerful force that won the Persian Gulf War, it left an Army with force structure, doctrine, and attitudes that are much less applicable to the peace operations and counterterrorism campaign it now faces. The author asserts that the Army must change in order to operate effectively in the full spectrum of future requirements, and it is time to reexamine the war in Vietnam. He also draws attention to the service's "Lessons Learned" process, and provides insights as to how the experience gained in Operation ENDURING FREEDOM should be analyzed and applied.

White House push on patent reform eyed today
Feb. 20, 2014 – The White House is poised to host a meeting today that will include a push for companies to create databases of "prior art" and for legislation pending in Congress to deal with patent trolls, reports said last night.
Today's meeting is expected to include Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker, National Economic Council Director Gene Sperling, U.S. Chief Technology Officer Todd Park and Michelle Lee, deputy director of the Patent and Trademark Office, according to a post last night on
Hillicon Valley
The Hill's
technology blog. (Meanwhile, Sperling has
announced plans
to leave his post March 5.)
NAFCU is working strongly in support of such measures, including the recently House-passed H.R. 3309, the "Innovation Act," introduced by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va.
H.R. 3309 builds upon the Leahy-Smith Act by requiring those alleging infringement to give the specifics of what and whose patent is infringed, and how it is infringed; limit discovery requirements; and allow courts to shift legal costs to winning parties.
Databases on "prior art," according to Wednesday's blog post on The Hill, would be meant to provide patent examiners a reference when reviewing new patent applications.

NH gov. on medical marijuana: no home cultivation
Tuesday, April 30, 2013
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) � New Hampshire Gov. Maggie Hassan is asking legislators crafting the state's fourth medical marijuana proposal in six years to strike a provision allowing patients to grow the plants at home. The bill's House sponsor, Rep. Donna Schlachman, an Exeter Democrat, said the news was upsetting. Proponents of home cultivation say it's crucial to ensuring access for patients in rural areas and those for whom the cost of purchasing the drug from dispensaries would be prohibitive. Schlachman also pointed out that many patients who have waited years to access medical marijuana don't have the 18 months to two years it will take for dispensaries to open. A Hassan spokesman cited law enforcement concerns about the state's ability to regulate a home-grow option as the reason for her decision. |

So I was checking my shotgun out yesterday and I was doing a functions check...major problems. It'll pump but when I take the safety off I can't pull the trigger. There is no click, no movement in the trigger at all and the hammer doesn't fall. I have no idea what's wrong. I only shot it once and I'm pretty pissed. Any help? Thanks guys

Only ideas I have is to take it to a qualified gunsmith, or call Mossberg customer service.
It's just the one safety but I feel like something in it is not working properly
navy here... drop your trigger and look for a stray pellet in the sear or works.
Retired Naval Aviation Former Member U.S. Navy Shooting Team Contact Man for the FTF Shotgun Shoothttp://www.firearmstalk.com/forums/f138/5th-ftf-shotgun-shoot-hoot-vanzant-mo-apr-11-12-2015-a-109479/
BigRed; I'm trying to visualize whirled peas. No, the thumb safety. Now, I know some people take the safety apart and reintall it wrong, so much so Mossberg has a oneway screw there and onlt sells replacement parts to "gunsmiths." Could be the issue that someone bubba'd it. Also, the mechanism simply blocks a bar in the trigger assembly that in the forward position precludes firing. After disassembly you'll see this at the back of the trigger assembly. If someone bent this by putting on an aftermarket stock incorrectly they'd have had to put alot of pressure on the too-long stock screw. Just thinking that a too-long stock screw in it now could impinge in the trigger assembly safety bar and prevent it from moving at all. Is it the original stock? If it was removed was it replaced with all it's parts like washers!?
Is your gun new or used and have there been any changes made? What HockaLouis posted above with happen in a second. I put a GG&G sling mount between my stock and receiver with a new bolt and rendered my 500 inoperable. If it's nothing like that then you can remove the trigger by drifting out the pin that sits at the bottom rear of the receiver and tilting it out from the back. There are two more or less flat bars in slots in the receiver take note of which goes where because they will probably fall out as you work, they just slide back in.
ah haaaa! ........................... the plot thickens! the classic backyard mechanic mod1 mk2 will do it everytime.

text: City. The earliest history of Chicago mentions James Marquette, a Jesuit missionary, who with two companions reached the mouth of the Chicago River, 4 December 1674; he is reported, however, to have passed through this colony during the summer of 1673. He spent the winter of 1674-1675 here, using his cabin as the first chapel on the site of the present metropolis. In 1696 Father Peter Pinet established the Miami mission of the Angel Guardian at Chicago, which then consisted of two villages with about 300 cabins. In 1849 an orphan asylum was erected by Reverend James Oliver Van de Velde, in order to care for the children whose parents died during the cholera epidemic of that year. In 1846 the Sisters of Mercy started a school, which became a great educational influence in the city; they later established a hospital. The parochial school system was organized in Chicago in 1860. The Religious of the Sacred Heart opened an academy in the same year, and nine years later Saint Ignatius College was begun, the only Catholic institution of its kind in the city for years. Catholic education was promoted under Archbishop Augustine Feehan, the De La Salle Institute, Saint Cyril's College, and Saint Vincent's College, now De Paul University, being started about this time. Two other Catholic institutions are the Ephpheta School for the Deaf and Loyola University. The result of many years struggle was wiped out at the time of the Chicago fire. The first free library in the city, the Union Catholic Library Association, lost a collection of 2,500 volumes. In less than seven years all that had been destroyed was rebuilt again. One of the most impressive church edifices is the Holy Name Cathedral. Incidental to the World's Congress Auxiliary of the Columbian Exposition and World's Fair in Chicago, the sessions of the Second Catholic Congress of the United States were held in the fall of 1893, presided over by Archbishop Feehan and William J. Onahan. The delegates to the convention were welcomed by President Bonney of the World's Congress Auxiliary "on behalf of the World's Exposition and the fifty million non-Catholics who loved justice and religious liberty." In 1926 occurred at Chicago one of the greatest Catholic gatherings of modern times, the 28th International Eucharistic Congress. Since 1866 it has been the metropolis of the Polish community in America; nearly all their schools are conducted by the Felician Sisters and the School Sisters of Notre Dame. There was an estimated population of 1,000 German Catholics in Chicago, 1844, who have increased and established many schools and churches. The Lithuanian church is one of the best organized. The Illinois Catholic Historical Society was founded, 1918, under the leadership of Father Frederic Siedenburg, S.J., by a group of priests and laymen who met at Loyola University for the purpose of studying and surveying the Catholic history of Illinois. There are about 30 Catholic papers and periodicals, including the "Columbian," the "Extension Magazine," the "Illinois Catholic Historical Review" and the "New World." Catholics distinguished in public life in Chicago are: Eliza Allen Starr, convert, artist and teacher of Christian art; Judge Gibbons; Judge Clifford, both of the Circuit Court of Chicago; Judge Marcus Kavanaugh of the Superior Court; Dr. J. B. Murphy, surgeon of world fame; ex-Judge Edward F. Dunne, formerly mayor of Chicago; and Stephen A. Douglas, convert and statesman. Knights of Saint Gregory include: Commanders E. F. Hines and D. F. Kelly; and Knights E. F. Carey, A. Czarnecki, A. J. Forschner, F. J. Lewis, J. W. McCarthy, A. Matre, F. X. Mudd, and E. J. Stubbs.New Catholic Dictionary

Mumbai: Over 70 per cent of the domestic violence cases registered in Maharashtra between 2008 and 2011 the victims are yet to be heard, the Comptroller and Auditor General of India said.
The CAG report, tabled in state legislature on Thursday, also pulled up Maharashtra Women and Child Development Department for not putting in place a mechanism to assess the number of children in need of care and protection.
As a result, the planning for establishment of children`s homes was skewed, it said.
"The monitoring by the department was lax in that there was significant shortfall in holding of meetings by district level rehabilitation committees, while district inspection committees were not constituted. There was also shortfall in inspection of children`s homes and anganwadi centres by district Women and Child Development Officers and Child Development Project Officers respectively," the report said.
"The mentally deficient children having special needs and requirements were not rehabilitated adequately," it said.

Conditions are favourable for the development of severe thunderstorms that may be capable of producing strong wind gusts, large hail and heavy rain says Environment Canada, which has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch for all of Halton and Peel regions.
A Watch means a thunderstorm is possible; a warning means one is imminent.
A few thunderstorms are expected to affect portions of the above regions this afternoon and early evening. These thunderstorms will be quite isolated. However, any storms that do develop could be severe.
Strong wind gusts can toss loose objects, damage weak buildings, break branches off trees and overturn large vehicles. Remember, severe thunderstorms can produce tornadoes. Be prepared for severe weather. Take cover immediately, if threatening weather approaches. In Canada, lightning kills up to 10 people every year. Remember, when thunder roars, go indoors.
Emergency Management Ontario recommends that you take cover immediately, if threatening weather approaches.
Environment Canada meteorologists will update alerts as required, so stay tuned to your local media or Weatheradio. Email reports of severe weather to firstname.lastname@example.com or tweet with the hashtag #ONStorm.

I made an IPA 2 sundays ago and it is still bubbling every minute out of the blow off tube. The OG was 1055. I think I fermented it a little high (72) at the start. Any idea what going on?
Sounds normal.
bubbles only = out gassing not fermentation take a gravity reading, if it is still going down the yeast are still working, RDWHAHB, Relax Dont Worry Have A Home Brew
I am lost. What is wrong?
"warm and swirl" sounds like a band name. either that or a very mean thing you could do to someone.

House Democrats block GOP-Obama tax deal. Is it dead?
Many Democrats are angry with the GOP-Obama tax deal. They want to hold out for more GOP concessions. But the expectation is that the tax cuts will still pass, probably with some changes.
Susan Walsh/AP/file
House Democrats threw a monkey wrench into President Obama's tax cut compromise with Republicans Thursday, adopting a resolution that opposes the deal.
The resolution is nonbinding, but House Speaker Nancy Pelosi nevertheless will not bring the tax-cut agreement to the floor as is. The exact nature of any changes remains unclear, but House Democrats have made clear that they do not like the planned extension of Bush-era tax cuts for top earners and a restoration of the estate tax that exempts most people.
In the end, analysts expect a tax-cut deal to go through, likely with some changes aimed at satisfying Democrats, but with the bulk of the votes needed for passage coming from Republicans. Senate Democrats, largely supportive of the plan, are prepared to move on legislation as early as this weekend.
Time is of the essence, as the clock winds down on the lame-duck session of Congress. Absent legislation, taxes on all income brackets will rise on Jan. 1, and unemployment benefits will expire for 2 million jobless Americans.
In remarks Thursday in a meeting with the President's Export Council, President Obama urged Congress to move forward on "this essential priority."

Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:more than 1 month
Pros:Its long enough! My night stand is tall, and my original iPhone USB was 4cm to short. This cable provides enough slack, that I can use the phone while its plugged in. Its great! And the cable is black, so no one will think it is there own, and try to steal it from you! The price is great too. The cable also feels very strong, which indicates a good build quality.
Cons:There are no issues with this cable. It is the perfect cable on the market for charging iPhone's (not iPhone 5).
OtherThoughts:If you need a longer cable for your iPhone 1, 2, 3, or 4... buy this. Its great to make calls while its plugged in, so your battery will never run out!
Bottomline:Buy the cable. Even if you don't need that much cable, you will be glad you didn't get something not long enough.

A blog devoted to on-the-ground reporting around the world.

Connect to share and comment |
The Vatican has been reining in the progressive leadership of American nuns, creating a political test of wills over the future of a faith with one billion adherents worldwide as it braces for an historic papal transition. Described as a modern 'Inquisition,' this punitive campaign against the nuns lands on the 50th anniversary of the Second Vatican Council and raises fundamental questions about the mission of a global church and the role of nuns who were inspired by Vatican II in taking the social justice gospel directly to the world's poor.
Kevin Grant, GlobalPost's deputy editor for special reports, talks about what it's like to report on the Mexico-Arizona border.
TUCSON, Arizona — It has too often been said that there are two sides to every story, but reporting on immigration from both sides of the fence in the sister border towns of Nogales, Arizona and Nogales, Mexico infuses this maxim with fresh, more literal meaning.
For the deported Mexican and Central American migrants biding time at Kino Border Initiative's soup kitchen on the Mexico side and desperately planning an attempt to rejoin their families in the United States, American immigration laws seem unreasonably cruel and heavy-handed, the US Border Patrol predatory and abusive.
For some homesteaders of the Sonoran Desert in Arizona and residents of the Tohono O'odham American Indian Reservation, who say undocumented immigrants carve a path of destruction through their land, official attempts to curb illegal entry don't seem nearly tough enough.
My reporting on the Roman Catholic nuns of the Missionary Sisters of the Eucharist, who provide aid to thousands of displaced migrants each year in Nogales, Mexico, aimed to start a process of understanding the complex relationship between religion and the immigration reform debate on both sides of the border.
There were many heartbreaking stories of sickness, abuse and separation. There were deeply held opinions on what should be done about the US-Mexico immigration crisis. There were appeals to the Almighty. But none of the dozens of migrants, aid workers, officers, activists, volunteers or fellow journalists I spoke with suggested they were content with the current state of affairs.
This blog is all about "ground truth." The observations, analysis, notes and musings posted here are based on facts gathered in the field from around the world by reporters, bloggers, photographers and videographers.
The term "ground truth" is actually a scientific concept defined by NASA as part of the calibration process of satellite imagery. When NASA measures something with a satellite, an employee on the ground takes the same measurement. If the results differ, the "ground truth" has greater credibility than the satellite does.
In the digital age, as we are bombarded with so much information from afar, GlobalPost and its non-profit partner The GroundTruth Project take a similar approach to journalism, valuing the idea that being there on the ground and calibrating events in human terms is the key to getting it right.

Sun science is the focus as students explore the Earth's rotation and revolution, the seasons, as well as night and day.
Explore the concept of the Earth's rotation. Using resources gathered for this lesson, students work in pairs to investigate how the position of the sun varies with the Earth's rotation. Prior to beginning research time, ask the class to propose focus questions for the investigation. Each pair of students will be responsible for keeping written records of their research findings.
Once team investigations are complete, each team will conduct an experiment. Begin with one member of the team holding a flashlight (the sun) and the other slowly rotating a large ball (Earth) with a small sticker on it. Challenge students to figure out whether it is day or night where the sticker is, based on the position of the sun in relationship to Earth.
Ask student teams to draw a 24-hour time line on roll paper with Crayola® Washable Markers. For each hour, decide whether it is day or night where you live, and what might be doing as the day goes on in summer and then in winter. How does the season affect whether it is light or dark during certain hours?
Student teams choose a time of day. Students paint themselves at self-chosen time of day in the appropriate clothing and activity for the season on white paper. Where will the sun (or moon) be in the painting? Use Crayola® Washable Paint and paint brushes. Mix small amounts of paint on paper plates to experiment with blending colors. All paintings to air-dry overnight.
Prior to displaying student paintings in 24-hour order in a hallway gallery, ask them to write a brief description of their artwork identifying the time of day illustrated. Students share observations about their paintings and subjects with classmates and visitors.

Research and Development Trend Forecast of China Waste Transfer Station Industry, 2013-2017
DUBLIN, April 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ –
Research and Markets (
http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/qrzkql/research_and) have announced the
addition of the "Research and Development Trend Forecast of China Waste Transfer Station
Industry, 2013-2017″ [http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/qrzkql/research_and ]
report to their offering.
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130307/600769 )
Research and Development Trend Forecast of China Waste Transfer Station Industry,
2013-2017 mainly analyzes the China's market status quo, product status, domestic major
enterprises of waster transfer station industry; meanwhile, it forecasts the future
development of the waste transfer station industry, which provides the decisive reference
for enterprises to get the knowledge about and invest in the field.
In 2012, the demand amount of China's waste transfer station was CNY 5.014 billion
with year-on-year growth of 11.8%. In that year, the waste transfer station replaced
10,635 sets and increased 9,253 sets.
At present, China's waste transfer station equipment is still in the development
stage; the domestic enterprises have scattered structure; there are a lot of waste
transfer station enterprises but they are mainly the medium and small-sized ones; the
concentration ratio is not high, and there are a few equipment with high technological
contents among these enterprises. In addition, as for the listed companies, the
enterprises engaging in the field are limited; now, there are a few enterprises that have
the advantageous position in the market scale or the technology; the industry
representation is very weak.
Now, the production and use of China's waste transfer station equipment is consistent;
most are centralized in the large and medium-sized cities and a few in the towns with the
uneven distribution. On the whole, the production and use of China's waste transfer
station is mainly centralized in the eastern and middle regions, especially the first and
second-tier cities; as for the western regions, because of the economic development and
small population, there are a few water transfer station equipment manufacturing
enterprises and regions that use the equipment.
According to the plan of the National Development Reform Commission, during the
12th-Five-Year period, it is estimated that the annual growth of sanitation equipment will
reach 20% to 30%' the sanitation machinery is renowned as the sunrise industry with the
huge development potential with broad market demand, but because of the cost, people's
awareness and other factors, the growth of waste transfer station is steady.
Key Topics Covered:
1. Overview of China's Waste Transfer Station
2. Environment of China's Waste Transfer Station Equipment
3. Characteristics of Waste Transfer Station Equipment
4. Development of China's Waste Transfer Station Equipment
5. China's Waste Transfer Station Equipment
6. Technological Development of China's Waste Transfer Station Equipment
7. Domestic Major Waste Transfer Station Equipment Enterprises
8. Investment Risks and Suggestions on Waste Transfer Station Equipment
9. Future Development Forecast and Investment Prospect of China's Waste Transfer
Station Equipment Industry
Companies Mentioned:
- Associated Engineers Zhuhai S.E.Z. Limited (ZAEL) - CN-NL Waste Solution - ShinMayWa - Sound Environmental Resources Co., Ltd. - Tianjin TEDA Environmental Protection Co., Ltd. - Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science & Technology Co., Ltd.

The protein Tat is encoded by the HIV-1 genome and is essential for viral replication because of its activation of viral transcription. Tat enhances the ability of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) to move long distances down the DNA through a poorly understood mechanism that involves its binding the to the 5' end of the nascent HIV-1 transcript. It has been suggested that the stimulation of transcript elongation by conventional DNA-binding activators may involve phosphorylation of the carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) of Pol II by the transcription factor TFIIH through the associated CAK kinase. Here we show that Tat-enhanced HIV-1 transcription in vitro requires both TFIIH and the CTD of Pol II. In addition, Tat, through its activation domain, both interacts with a functional TFIIH-containing complex and stimulates phosphorylation of a CTD-containing substrate by the TFIIH kinase. Under conditions that jointly restrict transcriptional elongation and TFIIH-mediated CTD phosphorylation, Tat stimulates both these activities. Furthermore, RNA synthesis is required for Tat to stimulate phosphorylation of the CTD when it is part of an initiation complex, as expected from Tat's interaction with viral transcripts. Thus, stimulation of Pol II elongation by Tat may involve direct effects on TFIIH-mediated CTD phosphorylation.
