Effective today, June 25, the Bureau of Land Management is implementing fire restrictions on all BLM-managed public lands within the Bishop Field Office boundary. At the same time, the U.S. Forest Service is implementing fire restrictions on the Inyo National Forest. The restrictions are in effect on all Inyo National Forest lands, including wilderness areas, and all Bureau of Land Management public lands managed by the Bishop Field Office.
Yosemite's Tenaya Lake, once called "Lake of the Shining Rocks," will sparkle even more brightly following major restoration efforts this summer to its east beach and surrounding wetlands and trails with funding provided by Yosemite Conservancy.
"Tenaya Lake has a captivating natural beauty that charms park visitors young and old alike," said Mike Tollefson, president of the Yosemite Conservancy.
Value Sports is adding to their Bishop location with a new store in Mammoth Lakes at the Mammoth Luxury Outlet Mall. The new store will open June 28 at 3399 Main Street. As background on the owners behind the new store, Steve Hertzog opened his first sports shop, "Mammoth Sporting Goods" in 1976.
The first shop was on Main Street, but later moved to its current location at 452 Old Mammoth Rd. across from Vons. As the store was modernized and expanded, the name was recently changed to "Mammoth Outdoor Sports."
A rattlesnake aversion training for dogs held in Swall Meadows earlier this month was successful, according to the area's County Supervisor Duane "Hap" Hazard.
About 35 dogs, including two of Hazard's, were trained to avoid rattlesnakes and Hazard said the private company that did the training, Natural Solutions, indicated an interest in coming back to the Eastern Sierra for more such clinics, if there is enough interest.
A local resident organized the event. The cost was $35 per dog. For more information, visit: www.rattle- snakeaversion.com.
Negotiations over the fate of the Whitmore Animal Shelter continue between the Town of Mammoth Lakes and Mono County, after the Town pulled out of the a joint agreement with the county to run the shelter in the face of its recently adopted budget (which cut its share of the funding).
The potential for Mammoth to declare bankruptcy is very real, said county supervisor Byng Hunt, but even if that were to happen, he believes the county and Town will find a way to keep the shelter open.
A Lone Pine man has been arrested on suspicion of murder, according to Inyo County officials. On June 17, at midnight, deputies from the Inyo County Sheriff's Office were dispatched to a residence in Lone Pine for a report of a family disturbance that involved the use of a firearm.
Sheriff's Deputies were advised that the subject, Allen Robert Weston, a 30-year-old man from Lone Pine, had left the residence and was in possession of a firearm.
Deputies located and arrested Weston for attempted murder, assault with a firearm, and criminal threats.
With the Mammoth Motocross in town this week, occupancy rates for the town are projected to shoot skyward.
The Mammoth Tourism Bureau projects the town to fill to 54 percent this weekend, up five points from a year ago at this time.
As for midweek projections, the bureau said it projects occupancy at 43 percent, up six points from the same week last year.
The Voodoo Chute is among the most vexing roads in Mammoth.
Anyone who has tried navigating the steep intersection of Lakeview Boulevard and Lake Mary Road has had issues with it in the winter, when ice causes accidents, blown nerves and, last year, a broken fence protecting the Lake Mary Bike Path.
But now, because of $200,000 in state money, along with a $20,000 match in the town's Measure U funds, Public Works Director Ray Jarvis said a solution is finally on the way.
The Town of Mammoth Lakes will cut abut $1 million in salaries in the coming fiscal year, the result of a 10 percent pay cut across the board for civilian staffers and a 24 percent cut in concessions from the police department.
Those cuts put the town in a precarious position, compared to similar-sized communities in California, according to the Assistant Town Manager Marianna Marysheva-Martinez.
The town's dependance on personnel accounts for less than a third of its budget. Since 2008, town employees have cut their salaries by 17 percent.
Among the biggest losers in the 2012-13 budget are the men and women in blue—the Mammoth Lakes Police Department.
The MLPD will lose its School Resource officer. In a memo to the Town Council, Police Chief Dan Watson said that the effect would be the elimination of the DARE Program, the Every 15 Minutes Presentation, supervision at special events and an increase in juvenile crime and at-risk behavior by youth.
At the same time, Watson sent out a plea for volunteer "reserve" officers to help make up the shortfall.
John Urdi has his fingers crossed.
The director of Mammoth Lakes Tourism draws almost his entire budget from Transient Occupancy Taxes. To increase the tax revenue, it is his task to draw visitors to Mammoth.
But when the Town Council approved its balanced budget Wednesday evening, Urdi was left with $215,562 less with which to draw the very tourists who supply the revenue.
"We're hoping this is a one-time phenomenon," he said in the corridor outside Suite Z, the town council chambers above the Minaret Cinema. "Obviously we can't have another year like last year."
In the end, there was nothing left to cut; there wasn't much to discuss.
The Mammoth Lakes Town Council passed an extraordinary "bare bones" 2012-13 budget Wednesday evening, leaving anger, heartache and uncertainty in its wake.
It also left Mammoth with a clean start, said councilmember Rick Wood.
"Fundamentally we have changed the approach, and the approach changed after essentially turning over every stone and finding out things that no prior council in the history of Mammoth Lakes had known—about how municipal finance works, how our government works.
June Mountain Ski Area on Thursday suspended its operations for the foreseeable future, Mammoth Mountain Ski Area announced on Thursday.
The resort will shut down immediately. Its summer season, set to open yesterday (Thursday), was cut down.
The 2012-13 winter season will not happen at all, leaving the lifts idle and employees scrambling to find work.
The news came as a "complete surprise" to June Lake's incoming county supervisor, Tim Alpers. He was in Southern California on business when he found out.
State fire crews and Lee Vining community members created an unusual coalition earlier this month and the result is both historical—and edible.
A community garden and a much needed update to the community Lee Vining museum are now complete after much hard work by members of the Cal Fire Owens Valley Conservation Camp, and kids and adults from Lee Vining.

A Friday report by the semi-official ISNA news agency quotes Mohammad Javad Larijani, secretary general of Iran's high council for human rights, as saying Ahmed Shaheed "received money" from the U.S. He said that was why he could only parrot U.S. allegations against Iran. He did not detail the evidence.
Larijani said Iran has provided U.N. with considerable evidence of violations by Shaheed, the Geneva-based U.N. Human Rights Council's special rapporteur on Iran.
He said Shaheed behaves like a TV celebrity, appearing on western television stations to make comments against Iran.
Shaheed has produced four reports on alleged violations of human rights in Iran. Iran denies the charges.

Inductive Heating of a Steel Billet
Application ID: 330
A squared billet made of steel is introduced into a coil operating at low frequency.
The process is used in order to make the temperature in a section of the billet homogeneous, since it loses energy faster through the edges than through the lateral boundaries.
It is shown here that heating at such a low frequency is not efficient for overheating the edges, although is is very efficient for warming up the lateral faces.
The simulation assumes a homogeneous temperature at the input, and computes the temperature field with respect to the heating power density induced by the electromagnetic field, and the velocity of the billet travelling through the coil.

About this font family
In B-movie awesomeness, Air began as Grotesk vs. Grotesque. I was trying to unify the prevailing traits of German and English Grotes(que/k)s in order to make something different but familiar. I am NOT trying to reinvent Helvetica (snore), so get that out of your system. From the onset, I intended this typeface to be a true workhorse that offers infinite options and flexibility for the user. At its core, it is the maturation of the Aaux Next skeleton I developed years ago. I worked out Aaux Next to settle my issues and love for Akzidenz. With Aaux Next, I strove to be mechanical, cold and unforgiving with it. I was single, young, cocky and it fit. Now I'm married, kids, dog and have found that I've turned into a big softy. When I look at Aaux Next (and have for the past few years) I see another typeface trying to eek out. I wanted it to avoid the trappings of robotic sans, quick tricks and compromises. The typeface's DNA needed to be drawn and not just generated on a screen — so I set aside a year. More…

Unions, industry groups spar over impact of sequestration
Friday - 1/18/2013, 6:59pm EST
Guidance from the administration on what steps federal agencies should take to prepare for potential across-the-board budget cuts has set off a war of words between federal-employee unions and industry groups.
Earlier this week, the Office of Management and Budget directed agencies to step up their planning in case sequestration goes into effect, including through freezing hiring and terminating temporary employees.
But the American Federation of Government Employees said the administration's guidance imposes a "disproportionate sacrifice" on federal workers because it doesn't detail, to the same degree, comparable cuts to contracting.
AFGE calls for service-contract freeze
The OMB memo directs agency managers to "review grants and contracts to determine where cost savings may be achieved ... remaining mindful of the manner in which individual contracts or grants advance the core mission of the agency."
But to AFGE's ears that sounds like the kid-glove treatment.
"OMB needs to tell agencies to be mindful of how federal employees advance the core mission of agencies. The government's own workforce has already sacrificed $103 billion to deficit reduction while contractors have not been asked to give up a dime," AFGE National President J. David Cox said in Jan. 15 statement.
AFGE called on the administration to revise its guidance to include a freeze on new service contracts and to bar the exercising and approval of options years and modifications.
"Where penalties associated with contract cancellations are lower than the costs of continuing to pay the balance, contracts should be reviewed for termination," according to the AFGE statement.
Indusry group: AFGE 'wrong on multiple levels'
But the Professional Services Council, which represents service contractors, blasted the union's proposal.
"AFGE's perspective is wrong on multiple levels," said Stan Soloway, the group's president and CEO. "To start with, they ignore the thousands of contractor jobs that have already been cut, as well as the thousands more that will have to be cut in the execution of the OMB and DoD implementation guidance. Even worse, their perspective ignores entirely the best interests of the agencies and the taxpayer."
Still, AFGE is not alone. The National Treasury Employees Union, for its part, said it would push the administration to first consider cuts to contracting before taking adverse personnel actions against federal employees.
"We will urge agencies to look for other cost-cutting measures that can be taken before considering such actions as furloughs and buyouts," NTEU Colleen Kelley said in a statement.
The union maintains that cuts or modifications to federal-employee compensation have already yielded the government $103 billion in deficit reduction over the next 10 years — mostly through the two-year pay freeze, which is still in effect.
A 'unified voice?'
Going forward, both contractors and federal employees, alike, will be affected by sequestration, Soloway predicted.
"None of us like it, but we all must face it. ... Rather than arbitrarily targeting one community or the other, agencies must be free to strategically determine how to meet their individual short- and long-term mission requirements in the most efficient and effective manner," he added.
TechAmerica, an IT industry group, echoed that sentiment.
"Ensuring that the best possible service is delivered to Americans is a combined effort of both the public and private sector," Trey Hodgkins, the group's senior vice president for the global public sector told Federal News Radio in an email. "Making massive, indiscriminate cuts to either group hurts our economy, our citizens and most particularly our men and women in uniform. As a community, we must have a unified voice in calling on Congress and the administration to come up with a common sense workable solution that doesn't harm our fragile economy."

Gonzalez, O's eye series sweep in Oakland
A's hope another strong start from Colon can help stop four-game skid
It would be easy enough to admire what A's right-hander Bartolo Colon did his last time out based on the results. He shut out the Red Sox for seven innings on three hits and a walk while striking out seven at Fenway Park.
But consider the circumstances of Colon's start -- a rainy, dreary day with temperatures in the 30s -- and you'll see why Oakland manager Bob Melvin called it "one of the more impressive performances I've seen in a while, really."
The A's could use another performance like that out of Colon on Sunday to avoid a sweep at the hands of right-hander Miguel Gonzalez and the streaking Orioles. One thing's for certain: The weather will be much more forgiving Sunday afternoon at O.co Coliseum, with forecasts calling for sunny skies and 74-degree temperatures around first pitch.
"Those conditions were very difficult to pitch in. Everybody else who pitched in that game had a tough time with the conditions, whether it was the mound, whether it was gripping the ball, whether it was the cold and the rain coming down on you -- and it didn't affect him one little bit," Melvin said of Colon. "He went out there and he threw strikes like he normally does if it's an 80-degree game here, and that's pretty impressive to watch.
"We all kind of marvel and shake out heads at Bartolo being able to pitch the way he does at this stage in his career. But I think the other night was terrific."
Colon threw 67 of his 94 pitches for strikes Tuesday, and his lone walk in that game was his first of the season. He's allowed only one run over his last two games, jumping out to a 3-0 start with a 2.42 ERA and 17 strikeouts in 26 innings over his first four outings of 2013.
The A's will need his consistent presence on the mound Sunday to reverse their recent losing skid, which reached four straight after Saturday's 7-3 loss, and slow down the Orioles. Oakland has dropped eight of its last nine overall, including three straight to Baltimore.
The Orioles, meanwhile, have won nine of their last 12 games. They'll hand the ball to Gonzalez, who squeaked past the Blue Jays his last time out. Gonzalez cruised through his first five innings on 59 pitches, but wound up allowing three runs on a pair of two-out walks and a sixth-inning homer by Edwin Encarnacion.
"Instead of staying on my toes, I was on my heels that sixth inning," said Gonzalez, who had been working between starts to stay more balanced. "That's why I was flying open a little bit. Balls were up. Just trying to do too much when I really didn't need to."
Orioles: Teagarden dislocates left thumb
Orioles catcher Taylor Teagarden left Saturday's game with a dislocated left thumb. He was hit by a foul tip in the bottom of the sixth inning. He immediately removed his glove and walked toward the Orioles' dugout.
Matt Wieters was already in the game as the Orioles' designated hitter, so when Wieters took over behind the plate, Baltimore lost its DH for the rest of the game.
If Teagarden is sent to the disabled list, Luis Exposito would be Baltimore's most likely callup. Exposito, batting .218 with Triple-A Norfolk, is the only other catcher on the Orioles' 40-man roster.
A's: Parker works in pregame side session
A's starter Jarrod Parker, 0-4 with an 8.10 ERA, took to Twitter on Saturday morning to say he had through a "game-like" side session in the bullpen to "work on some stuff." Parker has allowed 21 runs, given up 37 hits and walked 13 batters in 23 1/3 innings so far this season and taken the loss in four of his five starts.
Melvin opted not to elaborate on the "stuff" Parker worked on in his morning session with pitching coach Curt Young.
"I don't want to talk about the specifics of that, but, yeah, there's certainly things he's always working on, maybe a little bit more specifically now," Melvin said.
Worth noting
• The Orioles have won their first series in Oakland since July 20-22, 2007. The last time Baltimore won a four-game series in Oakland was July 31-Aug. 3, 1997. Baltimore's last four-game sweep in Oakland came on May 22-25, 1987.
• O's infielder Brian Roberts, on the disabled list since April 4 with a right hamstring strain, has begun light jogging in Florida.
• O's infielder Wilson Betemit (right knee sprain) has progressed from range-of-motion workouts to exercise activities in a pool.

Captain's Report by Christopher Hughes
In this cockpit view you can see how Sea-Doo has thought about the use of space. The snap-in carpet is standard.
The Cockpit
As soon as you climb onboard the 210 you will notice how the overall design and layout create the feeling of roominess. By angling back the edges of the "U" shaped cockpit seating, the helm seat and companion seat swing around to become part of the party. Even with the table installed, five to six adults can relax and hang out. The design of the helm and companion console is not intrusive and the angled design below each adds to the overall open feeling. The deep cockpit makes the boat feel as if it is wrapped around you. The only suggestion we can think of here would be to install the table via a side mount.
Moving to how the internal space is used, the image above really demonstrates how the captain and the companion seats become part of what is taking place in the cockpit. We like how Sea-Doo maintains their design aesthetic even when focusing on value. These seats are plush wrap-around with a flip-up bolster. The "U"-shaped cockpit seating is stylish and the raised edge of the seat edge adds comfort.
This is 210 Challenger S looking forward, note how the cap rails meet the seat back and then fade as you move forward.
Since most of us bring friends along when we head out for a day of watersports, the image above gives a sense of scale showing the removable table installed in the cockpit. We think Sea-Doo also does a good job of creating a boat that looks low slung to the water, yet also has relatively deep cockpit.
Power Plant
The Rotax model 1503 4-TEC engine is the 1.5 L supercharged heart of the 210 series.
We begin our look with the power option for the Sea-Doo 210 Challenger S which we think is an important differentiating factor in jetdrive sportboats. Being able to order a boat like this with supercharged single engine or with twin-engine power gives a great deal of flexibility to the consumer both in terms of performance and price. Obvious advantages are the initial costs and the on-going operating expenses. Sea-Doo has told us they focused on value when designing this model and that the choice of single or twin power was just one example of addressing that.
Direct-Drive Power
In the Sea-Doo 210 Challenger, an engine is connected to a single-stage axial flow jet pump with a nozzle diameter of 6-1/8" (15.56 cm). The impeller is stainless and four-bladed. Since the engine is direct drive to the jet pumps, there is no transmission or reduction gear. While this means there is no rudder, nor even a lower unit to act as a rudder, the engine and pump is always processing water, meaning you always have maneuverability, even in neutral.
Sea-Doo's Rotax engine has a closed-loop cooling system. Located on port and starboard on the aft end of the hull is what look like trim tabs. These are actually heat exchangers for the closed-loop cooling system. The engine coolant is circulated through the heat exchangers that are in constant contact with the water. This system ensures that no contaminants enter the engine.
Everyone wants to know which drive system is faster and burns more fuel, the supercharged single or naturally-asperated twins. We're curious, too, and look forward to testing this new boat in both configurations. We're told that both versions go over 40 mph, but that's all we can report at this time.
On the companion console you will find a large glove box and similar styling to the helm. With the track and swivel adjustable seat, the passenger can easily face aft to act as the observer when towing.
At the helm of the 210 Challenger S the multi-function center display provides 23 different items of information to the driver.
The Helm
A look at the helm shows us how Sea-Doo values a balance of ergonomics and looks. The silver on black, multi-tiered design makes a striking helm. The digital display is positioned above the wheel and in the center of the driver's sightline. The top of the dash is finished in a no-glare rubberized coating. The choice of sealed push button and toggle switches completes the overall look. The stereo to port of the wheel is satellite-ready and has an MP3 port.
The ergonomic throttle control is also positioned with the driver's comfort and control in mind. By extending the dash back to create a shelf, the driver can rest his arm while easily making throttle adjustments. We should also mention that this boat's engine -- or engines -- is digitally controlled through the iTC or intelligent Throttle Control, which is "an electric throttle system." These include ECO mode, which optimizes engine output and settings for more economical use. Sea-Doo offers cruise control, and ski mode if you chose the twin engine version.
The 210 S comes with six stainless cleats and all stainless fittings standard as well as a Bimini top as standard. Look at all of the stowage and the ease of getting to it.
The Bow
The efficient use of space continues forward. Instead of the bow coming to a point, the beam width is carried forward of the windshield and the bow area is broadened to create more internal space. Careful consideration has been given to storage as well. With an easy fold-up seat back, access to the console storage is far better than before.
Seen in an overhead view, the flow and use of the space onboard is easy to see.
The Stern
The jet drive propulsion system offers several design advantages for the aft end of the 210. Because there is no need for a large engine cover, the space can be better used by providing a large swim platform with built-in lockable storage. There is a compartment for wet storage right above the engine(s) which is great for drying wet towels and bathing suits, as well as keeping them out of the cockpit.
There is a tow point centered on the back of the swim platform and also a removable tow pylon which mounts just abaft of the storage area on the swim platform. Take your pick.
In this view you can easily see the amount of room on the swim platform as well as how Sea-Doo has turned the engine room vent into a striking design element.
The swim ladder is located in the center of and below the swim platform. This convenient location is due to the jet drive. With no props in the way, there is little danger of a swimmer getting hurt. Nevertheless, when people are in the water around the boat the engine(s) should never be on.
The location of the cleat amidships makes it convenient for tying off at the dock single handed. They also provide a place for a spring line.
Her length overall is 20'6" with a beam of 8'6" and a dry weight of 2,925 lb. for the single engine version and 3,100 lb. for twin engines. The total fuel capacity is 41 gal. single engine and 44 gal. with twins.
The MSRP price of the single, supercharged Rotax engine version is $32,499. For an MSRP of $35,499 you can have a Sea-Doo 210 Challenger S powered by twin, naturally-aspirated Rotax engines. Both of these prices inclde a tandem-axle trailer.
In our opinion this is a well-equipped boat which offers lots of space, great looks, industry leading technology, and a price below boats offering far less. In the view above advantages, the benefits of the Sea-Doo 210 Challenger S seem clear.

Peter Beagrie is here every week on skysports.com answering YOUR Football League questions.
The former winger, who played over 770 games, representing clubs in all four tiers of the English footballing pyramid, including Manchester City, Everton, Bradford, Sheffield United, Scunthorpe, and Grimsby, forms part of the Sky Sports punditry team for all the big matches in the Championship, League One and League Two.
So if you have a poser for Peter, whether it's about your team, a player, match or incident that has caught your eye, or a wider point on the Football League, make sure you send it in.
Read below for this week's column where Beags gives his take on the managerial sagas in Nottingham, Watford's promotion hopes and whether AFC Wimbledon can maintain their Football League berth...
Send your question to Beags
1. Mail them to email@example.com
2. Use the feedback form at the bottom of this page
Hi Peter, Keith Curle was sacked as Notts County manager because the club were not near enough to the play-offs, but what do you think the Magpies should be achieving? Thanks, Ant Langtree (Notts County fan)
BEAGS SAYS: Before I get to your question, Ant, I couldn't help but see the funny side of Hartlepool's win over your boys at the weekend, with Peter Hartley and James Poole netting the North-East side's goals! I know you won't be laughing, Ant, but spare a thought for Hartlepool, as it was only their fourth win of the season. Anyway, if you analyse the nine defeats County have suffered this season four of them have been against MK Dons, Tranmere, Doncaster and Brentford - teams that have dominated the division for much of the season - and, considering the budget Keith was working with and the fact other teams' bigger squads have now gelled, I think 10th in the table is roughly where County should be. The chairman, Ray Trew, (pictured) seems to have got nervous, though, and has axed Curle following three defeats in four games, just after chief-executive Jim Rodwell spoke in an article about the need of managerial stability and the financial ramifications of sacking mangers and their staff! The fact that Notts County are searching for their 13th permanent manager in 10 years and seventh in two and a half, gives you a clue as to why the Magpies are so inconsistent and I feel really sorry for the fans who have seen so many false dawns.
Hi Peter, AFC Wimbledon are bottom of League Two but have picked up of late. Do they have enough to stay up? Please say yes! Cheers, Patrick Davidson (AFC Wimbledon fan)
BEAGS SAYS: Looking at the squad Neal Ardley (pictured) has at his disposal, Patrick, I definitely think your side have enough to preserve their Football League status. Two heavy defeats at the start of the campaign to Burton and Bradford, in which the Dons conceded a combined 11 goals, was part of a six-game winless run that heralded just one point and I feel the team has shown the scars of that all season, particularly in the last three home games, against Wycombe, Port Vale and Burton, where they have relinquished leads and ended up drawing. A five-game unbeaten run - punctured by Tuesday night's 3-0 defeat to Port Vale - put Wimbledon within striking distance of five other teams, however, and in Gary Alexander, the Londoners have a leader, who will manage the team on the pitch and demand players work hard for each other and not themselves. Four of Wimbledon's six victories have come when keeping cleans sheets and if Neal Ardley's men can garner more shut-outs between now and May I think they will be okay - though the defence will have to dramatically improve for that to happen.
Hi Peter, What do you make of Alex McLeish's brief tenure at Nottingham Forest and is Fawaz Al-Hasawi in danger of turning the club into a laughing stock? Thanks, Stuart Dixon (Nottingham Forest fan)
BEAGS SAYS: It seems foreign owners often care little for the heritage, history and tradition at the clubs they treat like toys and turn their nose up at the fans, and whether the Al Hasawi family are the same or do have the best interests of Forest at heart, they are showing a naivety and lack of knowledge almost, but not quite, on par with that of the Venky's at Blackburn. To sack Sean O'Driscoll with the club one point adrift of the play-offs after a resounding Christmas-time home win over Leeds live on Sky Sports was ludicrous and to axe McLeish after just seven games in charge was just insanity, even though Alex was not a popular choice and the fact that one win from his septet of games did little to convince the Forest faithful he was the right man for the job. McLeish was undermined dramatically during the botched pursuits of Chris Burke - who scored twice against Forest for Birmingham to ensure McLeish's final game in charge ended in defeat - and George Boyd - who, despite displaying great vision and awareness during his time at Peterborough, was not acquired due to a failed eye test at the culmination of a very questionable 12-hour medical. That suggested to me that chairman Fawaz Al Hasawi was already questioning his appointment - and now Alex has made the only decision possible by falling on his sword. The Al Hasawis have now sacked three managers since they took over - a hat-trick not to be proud of - but I don't think anyone who has a passion for football is laughing at your club's present situation, Stuart.
Hi Peter, Hi Peter, A few months ago you didn't believe Watford would have enough in them to maintain a place in the play-offs, but now they are sitting comfortably in fourth. Do you reckon they have what it takes to stay in the play-offs, or even make the automatic spots? Thanks, Tom Gee (Watford fan)
BEAGS SAYS: Myself and a few others doubted Watford, Tom, but Gianfranco Zola my favourite footballing foreigner to ever grace British shores, has very quickly produced a team that combines clever movement with an incredible work rate, traits Gianfranco had in abundance during his playing days. With two-thirds of the season gone, as many victories on the road as at home and the likes of Matej Vydra (pictured), Nathaniel Chalobah and Fernando Forrestieri staying at Vicarage Road until at LEAST the end of the campaign, I would now not back against the Hornets seizing a play-off spot, if not better. Czech sensation Vydra, meanwhile, is my player of the season, having shown pace, movement, trickery and terrific finishing ability as well as proving to be a great team man. The on-loan Udinese star is worth his weight in red and gold.
Hi Peter, Who do you think is the best left back in League One? Cheers, Dominic Whiting (Blackburn Rovers fan)
BEAGS SAYS: There are some excellent left-backs in the third tier but three, in particular, have caught my eye. Jake Bidwell, on loan at Brentford from Everton, has starred for the Bees this term, acquitting himself well in both League One and against top opposition in the cups. The 19-year-old, who has played 20-odd games in the pressure-cooker environment at the top of the division, is very composed, has a great temperament, has dealt excellently with the physicality of league football and is often the first point of attack for Uwe Rosler's team. In fact, the only problem he has encountered is the Griffin Park pitch! Tranmere's wonderfully named Frenchman, Zoumana Bakayogo, has been a model of consistency, too, putting in an abundance of cultured performances. That was not always the case, with the 26-year-old previously following great endeavour with erratic crossing, but he is now a colossus in and around both penalty areas. It would also be remiss of me not to mention MK Dons' Dean Lewington (pictured), who has been a fantastic player, captain and servant for his club. Aggressive and vocal, the flame-haired defender also possess wicked delivery in both open play - where he produces more crosses than most wingers - and from dead-ball situations.
Hi Peter, Carlisle have three promising new players breaking into the first team at the moment in Brad Potts, Dave Symington and Mark Beck. Carlisle, like most League One teams, are a bit cash strapped with ever-dwindling attendances, and will admit this season is now most likely as far as play-offs are concerned. Do you think we should cash in if some big teams come along during the summer, or keep hold of these talents and try next season for promotion? Cheers, Stephen Teasdale (Carlisle fan)
BEAGS SAYS: Thanks for your question, Stephen. The only way I advocate lower-league teams selling young players is if they are in a difficult financial state as, quite often, youngsters get lost in the shuffle at big clubs. Defender Potts (18), midfielder Symington (19) and striker Beck (19) have been integrated into the team gradually by manager Greg Abbott (pictured) and, as a result, could make a real difference next year and help push the Cumbrians forward; they each have good footballing attributes as well as an affinity to the area, coming from Hexham, Workington and Sunderland respectively. I wish the boys well for the rest of the season and keep my fingers crossed I see them starring next year, too.

Andy Heath (Coventry City fan) says...
Now that Mark Robins has proved he's neither the bravest nor the maddest man in football by jumping the sky blue ship for better wages and greater spending power at Huddersfield, who should be given the tough task of replacing him at Coventry?

The standard treatment for advanced gastric or gastroesophageal cancer that has spread or cannot be surgically removed is a combination of the anticancer drugs docetaxel, cisplatin, and fluorouracil. However, the original combination of these three drugs can cause many side effects.
In this study, researchers want to see if this drug combination can be given more safely and just as effectively by either lowering the doses used or by giving the drugs with a medicine that boosts white blood cell counts during treatment. Participants will therefore be randomly assigned to receive either the original schedule of docetaxel, cisplatin, and fluorouracil with the addition of a medicine to boost the immune system, or lower and more frequent doses of docetaxel, cisplatin, and fluorouracil.
To be eligible for this study, patients must meet several criteria, including but not limited to the following:
For more information about this study and to inquire about eligibility, please contact Dr. Yelena Janjigian at 646-888-4186.

Our hearts go out to everyone affected by the hurricane. We are thinking of all our customers in the area during this difficult time.
Hickey Freeman president Mike Cohen, who lives on the New Jersey shore, saw firsthand the destruction caused by Hurricane Sandy.
He volunteered to help members of his community clean up the debris on lawns and clear out homes so they could be restored on both Saturday and Sunday.
The scene was shocking. Some of the victims' "whole lives have been devastated," Cohen said, adding you could tell many "didn't know where to begin" with the restoration process.
There were docks and boats washed ashore, which had to be disassembled with chain saws and trashed, according to Cohen.
Cohen helped remove furniture that was soaked with salt water and removed layers of glass and wood from properties.
Family photos were scattered on the ground, Cohen said, and children helped pick up personal memorabilia to take to the Town Hall where residents may claim them later.
"People were really appreciative," of the help he provided with approximately 50 other volunteers. "Everybody was pitching in. The community really comes together when something like this happens."
Hurricane Sandy was the largest Atlantic hurricane on record, disturbing parts of the Carribean, Mid-Atlantic, Northeastern United States, and Eastern Canada, with a death toll of over 110 in the United States so far.
On Friday, an NBC benefit concert for victims of the storm raised almost $23 million in donations to the American Red Cross. If you wish to contribute to the American Red Cross, click here.

The Relationship Between Credit Spreads And Default Probabilities, August 25, 2014 0 comments
The graph shows the credit spread to default probability ratio, ranked by default probability, on all corporate bond trades in the U.S. market which met the following conditions:
Coupon: Constant fixed rate until maturity
Maturity: 1 year or more
Trade volume: $5 million or more
Seniority: Senior debt
Callability: Non-call (except for "make whole" calls)
The credit spread is calculated by comparing the trade-weighted average yield to the matched maturity U.S. Treasury rate supplied by the U.S. Department of the Treasury to the Federal Reserve H15 statistical release. Calculations are by Kamakura Risk Information Services using data from TRACE. In a recent note, we explained why it is incorrect to use the common financial relationship that says credit spreads equal the default probability times (one minus the recovery rate). The graph above is additional evidence that this simple formula is incorrect. For more information please contact email@example.com.
Background on the Default Probability Models Used
The Kamakura Risk Information Services version 5.0 Jarrow-Chava reduced form default probability model (abbreviated KDP-JC5) makes default predictions using a sophisticated combination of financial ratios, stock price history, and macro-economic factors. The version 5.0 model was estimated over the period from 1990 to 2008, and includes the insights of the worst part of the recent credit crisis. Kamakura default probabilities are based on 1.76 million observations and more than 2000 defaults. The term structure of default is constructed by using a related series of econometric relationships estimated on this data base. KRIS covers 35,000 firms in 61 countries, updated daily. Free trials are available at email@example.com. An overview of the full suite of Kamakura default probability models is available here.
Using Default Probabilities in Asset Selection
We recommend this introduction to the use of default probabilities in fixed income strategy by J.P. Morgan Asset Management.
General Background on Reduced Form Models
For a general introduction to reduced form credit models, Hilscher, Jarrow and van Deventer (2008) is a good place to begin. Hilscher and Wilson (2013) have shown that reduced form default probabilities are more accurate than legacy credit ratings by a substantial amount. Van Deventer (2012) explains the benefits and the process for replacing legacy credit ratings with reduced form default probabilities in the credit risk management process. The theoretical basis for reduced form credit models was established by Jarrow and Turnbull (1995) and extended by Jarrow (2001). Shumway (2001) was one of the first researchers to employ logistic regression to estimate reduced form default probabilities. Chava and Jarrow (2004) applied logistic regression to a monthly database of public firms. Campbell, Hilscher and Szilagyi (2008) demonstrated that the reduced form approach to default modeling was substantially more accurate than the Merton model of risky debt. Bharath and Shumway (2008), working completely independently, reached the same conclusions. A follow-on paper by Campbell, Hilscher and Szilagyi (2011) confirmed their earlier conclusions in a paper that was awarded the Markowitz Prize for best paper in the Journal of Investment Management by a judging panel that included Prof. Robert Merton.

TORONTO — Former Mizzou pitcher Max Scherzer worked into the seventh inning Wednesday night to become the first pitcher in 27 years to get off to a 13-0 start, leading the Detroit Tigers to a 6-2 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays.
Scherzer allowed two runs and seven hits, struck out eight and walked one in 6 1-3 innings.
He's the first pitcher to begin the season with 13 wins and no losses since Roger Clemens won his first 14 decisions for the Boston Red Sox in 1986.
Scherzer also improved to 4-0 with a 1.78 ERA in six career starts against the Blue Jays. He has 139 strikeouts this season, second only to Texas' Yu Darvish among AL starters.
Alex Avila hit a three-run homer and Victor Martinez belted a solo shot as Detroit beat Toronto for the eighth time in 10 meetings.
The Tigers were angry at Colby Rasmus after he knocked Detroit second baseman Omar Infante out of the game with a hard slide in the fourth.
"We're really mad about that slide," Scherzer said. "That's a very dirty play in my book. When you watch it on replay, his spikes are up, he's sliding late."
After he was hit by a pitch from Scherzer, Rasmus slid hard into Infante on Rajai Davis' grounder to shortstop, breaking up the potential double play. Rasmus' right leg caught Infante on the left shin, sending him to the ground in pain.
Infante, who was replaced by Ramon Santiago, needed help walking off the field but X-rays were negative. Tigers manager Jim Leyland said Infante would not play Thursday.
Scherzer said Rasmus deserved to be suspended for injuring Infante, whom he called "a critical reason why we've been good this year."
"That's something where, if we were to retaliate on him, we get suspended but it's really him who should be suspended for making a slide like that," Scherzer said. "He slid way too late. I understand him playing the game hard but that's not a clean play and we didn't like that."
Blue Jays manager John Gibbons declined to comment, saying he didn't want to "inflame" the situation. As for Rasmus, he denied sliding any differently than normal.
"I go in hard every time," Rasmus said. "My intention is never to hurt anybody or nothing like that. I was taught that early in this game and that's how I play it. I didn't mean for nothing bad to happen. But it's no different than any time I ever come in."
Then both benches and bullpens emptied after Tigers outfielder Torii Hunter took exception to being hit by a high pitch from reliever Todd Redmond in the sixth.
"Trust me, it's nothing against Redmond," Hunter said. "It was all Rasmus sliding late with his spikes up."
Hunter took a few steps toward the mound and gestured at Redmond after being hit on the left shoulder. Plate umpire Mike Estabrook quickly steered Hunter away and he was wrapped up by teammate Prince Fielder.
"That's the only way I can vent and I wanted to vent," Hunter said.
No punches were thrown, and the relievers from both teams were pointed back to their bullpens before reaching the infield.
All four umpires huddled and, before play resumed, Estabrook warned both benches.
"We're confident when he's on the mound and we're excited to see him get this 13th win," Hunter said.
Bruce Rondon got two outs in the seventh, Drew Smyly pitched the eighth and Joaquin Benoit finished for the Tigers.
The Blue Jays dropped to 3-7 since matching a team record with an 11-game winning streak.
Detroit slugger Miguel Cabrera, who left Tuesday's game in the ninth with a sore lower back, started and batted third but was replaced by Don Kelly in the ninth. Cabrera, who came in with a major league-leading .368 batting average, went 1 for 4 with a walk.
Leyland said Cabrera's back was still bothering him, possibly because of consecutive road series on turf in Tampa Bay and Toronto. He also said Cabrera would get the day off Thursday.
"We've been on turf now for six straight days," Leyland said. "Guys aren't used to that."
The Tigers took advantage of two miscues to score four runs in the second. Fielder was credited with a single when pitcher Josh Johnson couldn't handle his comebacker and Martinez reached on an error by second baseman Emilio Bonifacio before Jhonny Peralta hit an RBI single.
With two outs, Avila drove a 3-2 pitch over the wall in left for his sixth homer.
"We definitely didn't help ourselves there," Gibbons said. "Against the better pitchers, you fall behind like that, it's an uphill battle."
Hunter reached on an error by Johnson to begin the third and scored on a base hit by Martinez, who made it 6-0 when he connected for his seventh homer leading off the fifth.
Johnson (1-3) allowed six runs, one earned, and seven hits in five innings.
Toronto's Mark DeRosa hit a two-out triple in the second but was stranded when center fielder Austin Jackson made a leaping catch at the wall to retire J.P. Arencibia.
"Austin had the opportunity to go up like Michael Jordan and he got up," an appreciative Hunter said.
The Blue Jays broke through against Scherzer in the sixth when Rasmus and Maicer Izturis hit RBI singles.
"They hit some balls hard but I was able to keep it on the ground and keep them to singles and minimize the damage," Scherzer said.
Adam Lind returned to Toronto's lineup after missing two games with a sore back, while catcher Arencibia started after sitting out Tuesday's game with a sore right shoulder.

9' Fiberglass Umbrella
Love the umbrella!
I was looking for a heavy duty umbrella that would tolerate wind and this is it. Easy to open and close and lightweight enough that it can be easily removed during stormy weather....didn't want to push my luck! Very pleased with purchase.
April 24, 2012
The quality cannot be beat!
This umbrella is perfect for what I had been searching for: lightweight, attractive and yet endurance enough to handle the rain in the Northwest!!! This is perfect.
June 15, 2012
This product is worth every penny and then some.
The umbrella was installed with no problem. The crank works so gently and smoothly that I didn't think it was moveing at first ...both going up and coming down. The weight is good too. When a nasty storm is forcast I take the umbrella out of the stand (rather safe than sorry) with no problem. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a great outdoor umbrella.
July 31, 2012
Great Product
I was really surprised with the quality of this patio umbrella for the price.
It is very well made, and looks much better than some umbrellas I have
paid more for. I feel this was a great bargain and I am well pleased with
this purchase. The tilt feature was one I did not expect for this price.

the catalog indicates the green is a hunter green. And it looks hunter green in the catalog image. the swatch on the computer indicates "green" and almost appears to be a Kelly green. Which is more accurate the catalog or website?
And the catalog displays five colors - is the antique beige the middle umbrella? Once again the website sample color appears to be much brighter than the catalog

Thank you for your question.Some monitor screens do not always display the images as to what they should be. Please use the catalog as your best reference when choosing the color selection for the Hunter Green swatch. As far as the Antique Beige again use the catalog as your best reference. If you zoom in on the lifestyle shot located on the web product page this will too give you a better idea of the color. These images are the same images printed in the catalog.

This Spotted Dog Irish bread is yeast-free and gluten-free. |
The Mother of Invention
If I call this new gluten-free bread an Irish soda bread, traditionalists will snicker. Raisins are not at all traditional in an Irish soda bread, you see. If a soda bread has raisins in it, it's called Spotted Dog over yonder, cross the pond in the Emerald Isle (or so I'm told). I never knew this, growing up on the white clapboard wilds of the Connecticut shore. I was blithely ignorant of this quaint canine moniker, despite a hefty streak of familial Irish blood (we ate more pierogi and kielbasa than Irish soda bread and tea). And out on my own- when I started baking my tender little eighteen year old heart out- my Irish soda bread had raisins.
And why not?
My skill set groove runs deep on the intuitive side.
I bake like I paint. Observing. Listening. Responding to what is in front of me. If a recipe calls for x amount of flour and I sense the dough is too wet, I'll add more flour until the dough feels "right" to me. Experience helps. No doubt about it. The process of trial and error gives you a feel for gluten-free dough, an inkling about the muffin batter and how it might behave on any given day. Which varies, I hate to tell you.
Baking gluten-free is more of an art than a science.
Gluten-free Spotted Dog- an Irish bread with a twist. |
Karina's Gluten-Free Irish Soda Bread Recipe- with Spots
Tweaked from my original recipe posted in 2011-- by Karina Allrich.Use your favorite milk, or non-dairy milk- but note that non-traditional coconut milk and a touch of coconut flour add a subtle fragrant tenderness to this easy, rustic quick bread. If you cannot use coconut due to allergies, try your usual milk choice, and substitute the coconut flour with sweet rice flour.
Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Line a 7-inch or 8-inch cake pan with a piece of parchment paper.
1/2 cup brown rice flour or gluten-free oat flour
1/2 cup sorghum flour, gluten-free oat flour, or millet flour
1/2 cup almond or hazelnut flour
1/2 cup tapioca starch or potato starch (not potato flour!)
1/4 cup organic coconut flour
1/4 cup organic light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 teaspoons double acting baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons xanthan gum
3 organic free-range eggs or egg replacer
6 tablespoons light olive oil
3/4 cup coconut milk, soy milk or non-dairy milk
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 to 3/4 cup currants (or raisins)
Whisk the flours and dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.
Combine the wet ingredients together in a separate bowl.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and slowly pour the wet into the dry ingredients, gently mixing as you go. I use a soft silicone or rubber spatula to do this. If you need a little more coconut milk to moisten the dough, add a tablespoon at a time and stir in.
When the dough is evenly moist and sticky, add the raisins and stir by hand to mix them in.
Scrape out the dough and plop it into the center of the lined cake pan. Use oiled or wet hands to mound the dough into a rustic round loaf. Dot with extra raisins, if you like and press them in a bit.
Slice a smallish criss-cross into the center of the dough.
Place the pan into the center of a preheated oven. Bake for about 30 to 33 minutes, until the loaf is golden and firm. Insert a wooden toothpick into the center to test for doneness.
Sweet and tender gluten-free "Spotted Dog" soda bread with tea. |
Cool the pan on a wire rack for five minutes, then turn the loaf out of the pan to continue cooling (you don't want a steamy bottom!).
Serve slightly warm with your favorite buttery spread and some fruity jam.
Recipe Notes:
Rustic soda breads are really best eaten warm from the oven. This latest version is tender and slightly sweet- perfect for tea time.
If you have leftovers, I would wrap and freeze the remaining bread to preserve the texture and taste. Thaw and warm it up in the oven or grill slices with a pat of butter.
This recipe is gluten-free and dairy-free.
To make it vegan, use your favorite egg replacer equivalent to 3 beaten eggs- about 6 tablespoons of liquid. See below for a link to my vegan Irish Soda Bread with Millet.
Yield: 8 to 10 slices

Tribe tries to get back on track vs. tough Turner
McAllister, Indians aim to start new streak against another young hurler
The last thing a contending team such as Cleveland wants to do down the stretch is play uninspired baseball against clubs playing only for next year.
But if Tribe fans looked at the Marlins' abysmal record and scoffed at the possibility of anything less than a three-game sweep in Miami this weekend, the Marlins' 10-0 victory in Friday's series opener -- which snapped a season-high eight-game winning streak for the Indians -- put that notion to rest quickly.
A pair of right-handers in Cleveland's Zach McAllister and the Marlins' Jacob Turner will meet Saturday night in the second game of the series. While McAllister is hoping to help pitch his club into the postseason, Turner and his teammates will continue their efforts to get in the way.
"It's all about going out there," Miami catcher Jeff Mathis said, "and playing the game the way you know you should be playing it and doing the little things that we need to do to win. It doesn't matter who's in town. We're trying to win a ballgame, and that's the mindset."
Though the Indians (60-49) have won much more than Miami (43-65) this season, the teams' respective records since May 31 aren't all that different. In 54 games, the Marlins are 30-24. Cleveland, meanwhile, is 31-24 across 55 contests.
And when the National League brand of baseball that must be played this weekend is taken into consideration, it would seem there's plenty the Indians should worry about before Detroit comes to town next week.
"Zach thinks he can [hit]," Tribe manager Terry Francona said Friday. "Maybe that's good, because I don't know if he can bunt. He might be a better hitter than a bunter."
Indians: Francona not fretting about absent DH
• If McAllister can hit, that's all the better for Cleveland. In two career plate appearances, though, he's 0-for-2 with a strikeout, so maybe Francona shouldn't bet on it.
Regardless, the skipper isn't very concerned about his inability to trot out a designated hitter in Miami, mainly because spurts of Interleague Play don't last as long now as they used to, an effect of Houston switching to the American League before the 2013 season.
"For three days, it's not the end of the world," Francona said. "They used to have the schedule where you played sometimes nine in a row, a 10-day trip.
"Now, you're here three games, and we're not really tied into a DH anyways. We're probably fortunate in a lot of regards."
• McAllister (4-6, 3.48 ERA) has made two starts since June 2, as a right middle finger sprain kept him on the disabled list for about seven weeks. In Seattle on July 23, McAllister was charged with eight hits and four runs (three earned) over five innings of a loss. On Monday, he held the White Sox to five hits and two runs in a no-decision.
Marlins: No sign of surrender in Redmond's club
• Friday's game against Cleveland was the first of 12 straight games the Marlins will play against teams above .500. After the Indians leave town on Sunday, Miami is scheduled to play nine road games in nine days, with stops in Pittsburgh, Atlanta and Kansas City.
The Marlins' young roster stands to benefit from the experience of playing against such competition, and a strong showing can build confidence for 2014. Their series-opening win over the Indians was a good start.
"These guys are good," Miami manager Mike Redmond said. "Every game's huge for them right now. They're trying to make the playoffs. It'll be a big task for us this whole week. We go to Pittsburgh and Atlanta, so it doesn't get any easier for the Fish.
"Every time you get to see the best teams in the American League, or any division right now, that's good for our guys to see the best. Hopefully we'll step up and give them a good run."
• Turner (3-3, 2.65 ERA) enters Saturday's outing with three quality starts in his last four trips to the mound. Command wasn't Turner's strong suit against the Mets on Monday, but despite five hits and three walks, he kept much of the traffic at bay while holding New York to three runs in 6 1/3 innings. He also had four strikeouts.
Worth noting
• After the Tigers beat the White Sox on Friday, the Indians fell to three games back in the AL Central.
• The Marlins' all-time record against the Indians is 9-4. At home, they're 5-2 against the Tribe.

Although I like compiz, I switched to Gnome Shell. It seems to give me less "glitchiness" than the rest and work fine without any system setting tampering(even on KWin I don't quite agree with the defaults, like "Undirect Fullscreen Windows" not on by default, although it used to be .. :/ )
Also, it has a good combination of features and customization(extensions are nigh omnipotent it seems) with being lightweight( ~400 megs of total ram isn't bad for me, especially on my loaded Ubuntu with Catalyst[opensource radeon seems to takes much less ram] )
Of course KWin also seems to run pretty smooth, but I tend to have to tweak it .. Activate anti-aliasing for fonts, undirect fullscreen windows and a couple things to make it "perfect" .. But things seem to actually run very smooth in it other than that(except a few times with fullscreen apps probably).
But I think that some technical details aren't bad to know. I was reading in a blog of a Gnome developer(at least if I recall correctly) that compiz giving less FPS doesn't mean it has slow code. What I've understood is with xorg applications pretty much send frames and hope for the best, there's no inherent mechanism to time frames with screen refresh and it's a relatively tough thing to implement, with its fair share of traps and difficulties. So timing the frames and reducing delays(often not because something is executed, the wm/compositor might be waiting to see if something will refresh, and this could cause it to miss the refresh and not render the frame, while it could) can be more important than executing fast redraws etc in cases. And I think this is the thing with compiz. Of course it's not an excuse after all those years. But I think with wayland it will indeed be easier to correct all those misbehaviors, as it provides better mechanisms in timing the frames with the screen refresh(again, if I've understood correctly till now .. there's people who know this stuff much better than I do).
And I hope it does .. It's supposed to actually give real tear free video too(wayland), so it should be able to help with that and general tearing I assume
(tearing is closely connected to the mentioned timing as far as I know)
Especially all those ARM servers running Ubuntu will really miss all their compiz effects and Unity ..Originally Posted by Article
