Next week the Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics (SCCE) will hold its annual conference in Washington DC. It is one of the top national conferences in compliance and ethics around. Together with K&L Gates LLP partner Amy Sommers I will be speaking on the recent GlaskoSmithKline PLC (GSK) corruption enforcement action in China and its implication for the compliance practitioner. I hope that you are planning to attend and if you are going to be in attendance that you will drop by the session Amy and I are leading.
Last week I interviewed Roy Snell, SCCE Chief Executive Officer (CEO), for my FCPA Compliance and Ethics Report podcast, which can be found here or on iTunes. One of the things that we discussed was membership in the SCCE and some of the benefits that it brings. I believe one of the best items that the SCCE offer is the Complete Compliance and Ethics Manual (the Manual). This is a one volume compendium of all things that the compliance practitioner might need in his or her practice. It is updated quarterly with CD supplements mailed to you.
One of the questions that I am regularly asked is how a company can create incentives to do business in compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) juxtaposed with the discipline that the FCPA Guidance suggests that every effective compliance program should maintain. An article in the Manual, entitled "Ideas for Using Incentives in Compliance and Ethics Programs", presents some of the SCCE's best ideas related to incentives, evaluations and rewards for compliance programs, they are as follows:
At the end of the day, not only are incentives necessary in a program, but they also help a company put a more positive face on its compliance program. Compliance and ethics should not simply be about enforcing laws, rules and regulations. Recognition of employees in companies who do well and conduct business ethically is an important step and employees should be recognized for showing ethical leadership, this means not just rewarding those at the top but anyone in the organization. I hope that these suggestions from the SCCE Manual will help to generate some ideas of your own.

It's weird sending a gift item without an accompanying message -- I've actually had gift items returned because the recipient couldn't figure out what it was or who sent it. And it's not that hard to do because you're already generating a different packing slip for gift orders which omits the price...right?

Diabetes Health Center
Diabetes Rates Double Since 1980
June 27, 2011 (San Diego) -- The number of adults with diabetes worldwide has more than doubled since 1980 to nearly 350 million, fueled in large part by an aging population and rising rates of obesity.
Diabetes rates have risen or at best remained flat in virtually every part of the world during the past three decades, according to international team of researchers led by Majid Ezzati, PhD, of Imperial College London, and Goodarz Danaei, MD, of Harvard School of Public Health in Boston.
The new figures are considerably higher than those of a recent study that estimated 285 million adults worldwide had diabetes.
Among high-income countries, diabetes rates were highest in the U.S., Greenland, Malta, New Zealand, and Spain. The Netherlands, Austria, and France boasted the lowest rates.
Despite the obesity epidemic in the U.K, the diabetes rate there was lower than that of most other high-income countries. Of 27 Western high-income countries, Britain had the fifth lowest diabetes rates among men and the 8th lowest rate for women.
The study was published online by The Lancet journal on June 25 to coincide with the annual meeting of the American Diabetes Association here.
No Improvement in Diabetes Rates Worldwide
People with diabetes have poor blood sugar control, which can lead to a host of serious complications, including heart disease, stroke, blindness, and kidney damage.
High blood sugar and diabetes are responsible for about 3 million deaths globally each year, a number that will continue to rise as the number of people affected increases, according to the report.
For the study, the largest of its kind, the researchers analyzed fasting blood sugar (glucose) measurements from 2.7 million people aged 25 and older in 199 countries and territories. If a fasting blood glucose level was 126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L) or higher, a diagnosis of diabetes for study purposes was made.
From 1980 to 2008, the number of adults with diabetes rose from 153 million to 347 million, the report says. Seventy percent of the rise was because of population growth and aging, and the obesity epidemic accounted for much of the other 30%, Martin Tobias, MBBCh, of the Ministry of Health in Wellington, New Zealand, notes in a commentary accompanying the study.
Is This Normal? Get the Facts Fast!
Your level is currently
If the level is below 70 or you are experiencing symptoms such as shaking, sweating or difficulty thinking, you will need to raise the number immediately. A quick solution is to eat a few pieces of hard candy or 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey. Recheck your numbers again in 15 minutes to see if the number has gone up. If not, repeat the steps above or call your doctor.
People who experience hypoglycemia several times in a week should call their health care provider. It's important to monitor your levels each day so you can make sure your numbers are within the range. If you are pregnant always consult with your health care provider.
Congratulations on taking steps to manage your health.
However, it's important to continue to track your numbers so that you can make lifestyle changes if needed. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.
Your level is high if this reading was taken before eating. Aim for 70-130 before meals and less than 180 two hours after meals.
Even if your number is high, it's not too late for you to take control of your health and lower your blood sugar.
One of the first steps is to monitor your levels each day. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.

World War II and the Cold War
When World War II broke out, Switzerland mobilized 450,000 soldiers and 200,000 auxiliaries (it eventually mobilized 850,000 people out of a total population of 4,000,000). Having learned from World War I, the government provided compensation to workers for lost wages, and, despite economic difficulties, it was able to keep inflation at a tolerable level throughout the war. Another difference from World War I was the unity evident throughout Switzerland, irrespective of class and language. Symbolic of this singularity of purpose was the election of the first Social Democrat to the Federal Council in 1943. The most difficult phase of the war was in the summer of 1940, when France had unexpectedly fallen and Switzerland was surrounded by the Axis powers. The only open tunnel to Vichy France closed in late 1942 when Germany occupied the southern part of France. When most Swiss feared that they would become the next victim of Nazi expansionism, federal councillor Marcel Pilet-Golaz gave a speech on June 25, 1940, that generally was interpreted as an adaptation to the new Europe controlled by Germany. Many Swiss refused accommodation, and, in a speech given the following month to the army's highest officers at the symbolic Rütli plateau, the commander in chief of the Swiss army, General Henri Guisan, expressed a lasting spirit of military resistance; in addition, a fortress in the central Alps, the réduit, was equipped with ammunition, medical supplies, food, water, hydroelectric plants, and factories to enable the Swiss army to fight the Nazis even if the cities of the Mittelland were captured.
In the days following Guisan's speech, Switzerland signed the first of several toughly negotiated commercial treaties with Germany. The Germans supplied raw materials (coal, iron, and seeds for a country that produced only 60 percent of the food it needed) in exchange for considerable Swiss financial credits and military and strategic material produced by private companies, including aluminum, machine tools, and watches. Weapons (e.g., antiaircraft defense) made up a significant share of Switzerland's exports to Germany; though they constituted less than 1 percent of Germany's own armaments, these supplies may have been important at specific moments of the war. It was the national bank, however, that rendered the most problematic service to Germany, buying gold looted from western European central banks, including small quantities of victims' gold from concentration camps. Although historical evidence suggests that the Swiss did not know the origins of this gold, by at least early 1943 the Swiss national bank was aware of the German looting of central banks yet continued to buy the melted and reformed gold in large quantities until 1944 and in lesser amounts even until the last weeks of the war. The total amount the Swiss national bank paid to Germany for mostly looted gold was 1.2 billion Swiss francs; Germany used this money—its only remaining convertible currency—to purchase missing raw materials from abroad.
Transit through the Alps benefited the Axis but generally conformed to international law, which allows shipments other than those of weapons or troops; by far the most important shipment was of coal. Despite its geographic location, Switzerland also maintained economic relations with the Western Allies during the war; for example, it bought a considerable amount of (nonlooted) gold from the United States and Britain. The Allies then used Swiss francs to pay for intelligence services in Switzerland and for the good offices the neutral country could provide through the Red Cross for prisoners of war. Humanitarian policy, however, was the saddest—yet most ambivalent—chapter of Switzerland's war history. To a large extent, the alleged humanitarian tradition of a neutral minor state was given over to the initiative of private persons and charitable organizations. The government itself declared a restrictive immigration policy, admitting refugees essentially for transit into a third country but without pursuing this policy consistently. There were several reasons for the harsh policy against refugees; one was the fear that immigration might provoke social unrest, especially given the country's weak labour market after the economic crises. Officials further adduced the economic costs of accommodation—the lack of food and impediments for national defense—but anti-Semitism and the fear that the country might lose its character as a result of Überfremdung ("overforeignization") also were decisive factors. During the war Switzerland accepted nearly 300,000 refugees—one-third of whom were military internees, while many others, especially children, arrived only for a short period or, especially from the neighbouring areas, only in the last weeks of the war. Among the roughly 55,000 civilian refugees, about 20,000 were Jews, who were denied asylum because they were not considered "political refugees." During the war, especially in 1942–43, when the Swiss border was officially but not hermetically sealed, at least another 20,000 civilian refugees, most of them Jewish, were turned away. It is probably impossible to establish the precise number of those who were killed in concentration camps after a vain attempt to flee to Switzerland.
Judging Switzerland's role during the war is complex. Switzerland appeased the Axis, but it also was ready to defend its independence in the event of a German attack. Moreover, there were many examples of compassion toward refugees and other victims of the war, and the Swiss had to balance the interest of other countries and peoples with its attempt to ensure its own national survival. While some profited from trade with the Axis, the Swiss in general rejected those regimes and their racist ideology, considering these a mortal danger for their democracy and diverse linguistic and religious population.

Gibson Gets Touchy Over '06 Comments
Accuses (Jewish) questioner of having 'a dog in the fight'
Mel Gibson—you remember Mel?—has a new movie coming out. Something action-y. During an interview, Hollywood reporter Sam Rubin mentioned to Gibson that not everyone was going to welcome him back—an allusion to the incident in 2006 when he was pulled over for driving drunk, and proceeded to utter anti-Semitic remarks to the arresting officer (who, it turned out, was Jewish). Now, four years later and with a big film to promote, Gibson wisely responded, in measured, contrite tones, that he remains sorry for that unfortunate outburst, and humbly asks the public to forgive him.
Just kidding! First, he seemed to dispute that he actually said what he is alleged to have said—"remarks that were attributed to me," he clarified, "that I didn't necessarily make." Then, he inquired of Rubin: "I gather you have a dog in this fight. Do you have a dog in this fight? Or are you being impartial?"
So, is "dog in this fight" Gibson-ese for "you're a Jew, so obviously you can't be 'impartial' when it comes to Jew-hating"? After the interview, Rubin said that while he didn't understand the euphemism at the time, he now takes it that way, and was offended.
Yeah, he would be offended. They're so sensitive. Right, Mel?

Pop Warner parents say reward outweighs risk
Give consent for football despite head injury worries
SOMERVILLE — It was early on a raw Sunday morning, but Dilboy Field was alive with joy. Somerville and Newton Pop Warner football squads were going at it — running, throwing, tackling — and in the stands, parents were drinking warm coffee, chatting, and cheering. "Go, Somerville!'' "Beat 'em!''
The news had been full of stories about head injuries caused by helmet-to-helmet hits and hard tackles in the NFL and college football. A week earlier, closer to home, a 12-year-old player from West Bridgewater was temporarily paralyzed after he suffered a severe concussion.
But even as some parents fret about letting their young children play such a rough sport, they are willing to let them do it.
Prisca Herrera, cheering from the sidelines for Somerville, is one of them. She admitted that she hopes her son does not catch balls passed to him, so that he is not tackled. "But I don't tell him that.''
Dorrie Cherry of Newton sat nearby. "I'm a nervous wreck,'' she said, but not going to the game would be worse. "I feel like I'm a protector from the stands.''
The children playing at Dilboy Field had happily gotten out of bed for games that started as early as 8 a.m., and parents said they don't want to dampen that enthusiasm.
"You can be walking around feeling afraid you'll be blown up [by terrorists] and then you stop living,'' said Bonnie Raposo, of Somerville, the mother of second- and sixth-grade players, and an employee at Mount Auburn Hospital. "You don't want your kids to stop living.''
The weekend before the Somerville-Newton game had been particularly dangerous at the college and professional level. Eric LeGrand, a Rutgers University defensive lineman, was paralyzed from the neck down after making a tackle against Army. DeSean Jackson, a
Athletes are increasingly aware of the long-term health risks of concussions. In August, Boston University researchers linked sports-related head injuries to an ALS-like disease. Last month, , amid criticism of the violence, the NFL started cracking down on illegal hits.
Reliable data tracking concussion rates in youth football do not exist, said Dr. Robert Cantu, codirector of the Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy at Boston University School of Medicine. At the high school and college level, however, the rate of recognized concussions in football is similar to those in ice hockey, lacrosse, and soccer, he said.
But, he added, "football has other injuries that are a lot more serious than concussion that you don't find very frequently in soccer,'' such as catastrophic head and neck injuries.
The number of reported concussions in organized sports is rising, said William Meehan, director of the sports concussion clinic at Children's Hospital Boston. He pointed to a recent study published in the medical journal Pediatrics that found emergency department visits for concussions doubled between 1997 and 2007.
While some of this is probably the result of increased awareness of the potential for long-term effects after concussions, he said, the increased size and strength of athletes, and increased aggressiveness, are bigger reasons.
Meehan sees an escalation in concern among parents.
"They hear about professional athletes later in life that have dementia and say, 'I don't want this to happen to my child.' ''
Furthermore, said Meehan, medical evidence suggests that it takes longer for children to recover from sport-related concussions than it does for older athletes.
About 3 million children ages 6 to 14 play organized tackle football, said Steve Alic, director of communications for USA Football, the sport's national governing body at the youth and amateur levels. USA Football does not have injury statistics, but Alic said there is a "sea change happening in all youth sports regarding the way concussion is perceived and managed.''
He points to the "When in Doubt, Sit Them Out'' campaign, and education for coaches about safety and concussions done in collaboration with the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "Many leagues are mandating that their coaches complete our online coaching course in order to coach in their league,'' Alic said.
Local coaches emphasized that they teach young athletes proper technique.
"No one is going after your head in this league,'' said Donald Barboza, a coach of one of the Newton Pop Warner squads, and the father of a second-grade player.
Barboza's 15-year-old nephew recently suffered a concussion playing football, but Barboza said he is not worried about the game's overall safety.
"I ran into a couple of brick walls in my life literally, in the school yard,'' he said, laughing, "and I'm fine.''
Mike Westgate, father of a second-grader at Dilboy Field, took his appreciation of the sport a step further: "He's toughened up, the way boys should be,'' he said of his son. "He's not a crybaby.''
John Regan, president of Newton Pop Warner, said the game is getting safer, in part because of improved equipment. The organization spent $5,500 on new helmets for the oldest players, the 14- and 15-year-olds.
"Concussions have become just one of the many areas that we have been focusing on,'' he said
Dan Kraft, son of
Still, players get hurt. The threat of injury to young children was made more real at least to some parents when Nathan Hogrell, a 12-year-old West Bridgewater player, was airlifted to Children's Hospital Oct. 17 after suffering a concussion in a game.
Nathan is home recovering and is eager to play again, said his mother. If he is cleared to play by a doctor, Wanda Hogrell will not stop Nathan from heading back onto the field. "That's his passion,'' she said, "and I wouldn't take his passion away from him.''

Twitter's UK general manager Tony Wang has promised to implement new anti-troll features following a series of bomb threats against several UK journalists.
Wang unveiled Twitter's plans to implement several new measures alongside an apology to the affected journalists in a tweet over the weekend.
The abuse they've received is simply not acceptable. It's not acceptable in the real world, and it's not acceptable on Twitter.— Tony Wang (@TonyW) August 3, 2013
The apology follows a wave of bomb threats targeting a number of prominent female journalists. Known victims include The Guardian's Hadley Freeman, The Independent's Grace Dent and Time's Catherine Mayer. Twitter said the messages proved the need for change in a public blog post.
"It comes down to this: people deserve to feel safe on Twitter. Over the past week, we've been listening to your feedback on how we can improve our service. You told us that we need to make our rules clearer, simplify our abuse reporting process, and promote the responsible use of Twitter. Today, we want to give an update on what we've done and what we're committing to do over the next few months," read the statement.
The new services include the addition of a button to report abuse. The button has already been added to Twitter's iOS app and is set to be rolled out to Android and the central Twitter.com site "soon".
Other key additions include a new partnership with the UK Safer Internet Centre and amendments to Twitter's definition of abusive behaviour. Twitter also promised to implement a number of other undisclosed anti-abuse measures in the near future.
"We are committed to making Twitter a safe place for our users. We are adding additional staff to the teams that handle abuse reports and are exploring new ways of using technology to improve everyone's experience on Twitter. We're here, and we're listening to you," added the statement.
Twitter abuse has been an ongoing issue for several years. The service's anonymity has allowed numerous groups and individuals to mount ongoing hate campaigns and has already led to several police investigations.
Earlier in July feminist campaigner Caroline Criado-Perez was hit with a prolonged 12-hour barrage of rape threats via Twitter. The police subsequently confirmed the arrest of an unnamed 21-year-old man in the Manchester area on suspicion of harassment offences.

This plugin works with this version of WordPress. I can confirm this.
I was receiving errors stating that I was not allowed access to my wp-content/backup and wp-content/db directories. The errors also stated that the Zip file was not created.
I attempted changing the permissions on these folders to full read-write-execute (chmod 777 instead of 775) but I was unsuccessful. I was still getting errors that the zip file was not created.
I resolved the issue by deleting these two folders and recreating them. They had the same permissions (rwxrwxr-x, or 775) but the group was listed as web [25000] and I was listed as the owner.
This solved all errors after re-authorizing the Api through google. Hope this helps.

Ortiz's ex-aide to help with base
Rendon to help in the transition at NS Ingleside
The city of Ingleside is primed to hire Florencio "Lencho" Rendon, former chief of staff for U.S. Rep. Solomon Ortiz, as a consultant in implementing the city's Local Redevelopment Authority, which would oversee 155 acres of surplus property at Naval Station Ingleside.
The Ingleside plan drafted in Washington, D.C., includes a nine-member board -- two appointees each from Nueces and San Patricio counties, the city of Ingleside, the city of Corpus Christi and one from the Port of Corpus Christi.
That plan came about after a July 9 meeting in Ingleside that included Rendon, Ortiz and his brother, Nueces County Commissioner Oscar Ortiz, San Patricio County Commissioner Jim Price and Ingleside City Councilwoman Stella Hermann, Price said.
Ingleside council members on Tuesday tentatively scheduled an Aug. 1 meeting with Rendon, said Ingleside Councilman Willie Vaden. Rendon was out of the country Wednesday and could not be reached.
Vaden said he approached Rendon and Ortiz to help devise a Local Redevelopment Authority, a local board that would oversee about $1 million in federal funds slated for the Coastal Bend to help lessen the impact of military cutbacks.
"We were just discussing among the parties what our opinion was of the possibility, of what it would take in structure, for an (Local Redevelopment Authority) to be acceptable to all the parties," Price said of the July 9 meeting.
An 18-month dispute among local entities over the makeup of such a group has kept each from successfully forming and receiving official Local Redevelopment Authority status from the Defense Department's Office of Economic Adjustment.
Closures and realignments of military installations must occur by Sept. 15, 2011. Naval Station Ingleside is expected to close by Sept. 30, 2010.
Of the more than 1,000 acres of base property, about 912 acres will revert to the Port of Corpus Christi when the base closes. The 155 acres of surplus property, which includes about 100 acres of submerged land, will not revert to the port.
In 2006, the port established its advisory redevelopment group, which includes elected officials from Ingleside, Corpus Christi and both counties to oversee the main property.
Congressman Ortiz said he became involved because about $1 million in federal funding is in flux while a Local Redevelopment Authority is established.
"It impacted Ingleside, Corpus Christi, and it impacted South Texas because a lot of people were employed by the installation," Ortiz said. "Time is running out."
Timing could impact the types of developers a Local Redevelopment Authority could bring to the property and could impact funding from the government.
"Once we get started and some of the studies bring out the potential prospects, all the BRAC money comes through my committee" said Ortiz, who sits on the House Armed Services Committee's subcommittee for readiness and military construction.
Ingleside passed its plan last week. Nueces County Commissioners voted unanimously Wednesday to support it.
San Patricio County Judge Terry Simpson said the county will vote on Ingleside's proposal Monday.
Corpus Christi Mayor Henry Garrett said he is unsure when or if the city will vote on the proposal.
Port of Corpus Christi Chairman Ruben Bonilla said the port commissioners will consider an endorsement in August but that the port retains the reversionary rights to Naval Station Ingleside.
"The port will work with Ingleside, but we will continue to exercise all of our energy in protecting and enhancing the port's reversionary rights," he said.
What it means
The City of Ingleside voted last week to establish a Local Redevelopment Authority, which would oversee about $1 million in federal funding for the redevelopment of 155 acres of surplus property at Naval Station Ingleside, which is expected to close in 2010.
The players
Two members appointed by the Nueces County Commissioners Court
Two members appointed by the San Patricio County Commissioners Court
Two members appointed by the city of Ingleside
Two members appointed by the city of Corpus Christi
One member appointed by the Port of Corpus Christi
The next steps
All entities must be on board with the Local Redevelopment Authority for it to be approved for federal funding.
The Nueces County Commissioners Court approved the plan unanimously Wednesday.
San Patricio County Commissioners will vote on the plan Monday.
The Port of Corpus Christi will vote on the plan in August.
The city of Corpus Christi has not scheduled a vote.

These Violence Beauty poems are examples of Violence poems about Beauty. These are the best examples of Violence Beauty poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
If you don't find the poem you want here, try our incredible, super duper, all-knowing, advanced poem search engine.
I am Charlie
Je suis Charlie
I laugh at myself
I laugh at the world
I mock you with love
I love to contemplate
I love for humanity to think
There are no limits to freedom of expression
As long as we have no hate in the heart
Let us mock the universe
In gaiety and laughter
If we learn not to take ourselves too serious
Maybe just maybe
We shall feed a few poor
Maybe an act of kindness
Maybe we shall forgive and open our hearts
Maybe one shall rejoice and clap at a daily good deed given
Maybe our kindness will rank higher than our ideals
Maybe, just maybe, a cartoon can be just that
A Cartoon
We all have different views
Different tastes
Our diversity is our beauty
We can each enjoy that which we see as art
We can each ignore, that which pleases not the eye
Free choice is golden
Cold blooded killers
Have no place in our civilization
Whoever kills in the name of the most merciful
Is a fool and an infidel
If Allah was an artist
The infidels would be caricatures on a sketch pad
To be erased from all of humanity
Yes, I am Charlie
Reality is lost and I fear…
That someday…somewhere so near…
I will fall amongst the people so dear…
I fear…that I'll just be another one…
Another one lost…
I wonder what the cost of my life is
not to get too political…
But I want to know what the cost of my life is
Is it money…is it land
I do not own any of them…I'm just a simple man
I remember…When I ran across your land…
I remember when I kissed my grandmother's hands…
But you ripped my away from her…From my home
you ripped my away from my heart…you ripped me away from my soul
I feel helpless…I feel low…
It's hard to play along when I know…I have no role
I have become a slave.
After all the love I gave.
When I look at my country…people I want to save
When I look around me…people I need to change
It seems like a hard thing to do…
when the range of people is way bigger than you
Freedom…oh how much I've heard that word
Freedom…oh how this idea has become absurd
when God gave us life…
He warned us only he can take our lives…
Oh Syria…my home
Oh Syria…my all
Oh Syria…what did they hurt you for?
Oh Syria…I'm here…I won't let them hurt you anymore…
I am Proud to be your son…
Who's that staring through my window walls, with eyes as old as time
the clock has not yet moved and the wind outside has died
no breath for me to find nor the strength to check the time
unless the minute hand is lying theirs a chance i may have died
I wish this all a dream but the eyes i see dont lie, they have told me with their watching that all men do really cry
yet in vain is all my wishing but perhaps this is delusion of a sedimentary man with his mind ripe for losing
Come at me then red devil, I shout within my mind yet the tension I had hoped for was delayed and rather dry
no ravishingly velvet flame encircled this such room, nor were the furniture and ottoman thrown like an old shoe
marvelous the time in which a demon throwns your home and his only one intent is to stare right through your soul
to that i bid goodnight to you, to do as you wish, regardless of the manner I am nothing more then fish. to be shot out of a barrel for a fellow such as this
If you do deem it fit that I wake another morning all i ask is that the clocks all please return to working order
Yo, Guys,
Check it out!
Volcanoes blow,
some fast... some slow
All right stop,
hear me out and listen
Mountain outta nothing,
Mother Nature's invention
Deep within the earth,
pressure grows tightly
The molten lava flows,
daily and nightly
Looking to escape,
gotta find a place to go
An unexpected pop,
or a never ceasing flow
Incinerating path,
or a bursting burning vandal
Spewing rock and gas,
or a deadly dripping candle
Composite volcano,
erie calm then cataclysmic boom
Pyroclastic chaos,
a deadly poisonous mushroom
Deadly fiery mass,
a leaping rock lava melody
Spreading ash for miles,
a majestic tragedy
When the mountain ignites,
betta get out of her way
In a matter of moments,
she'll make night outta day
Composite volcano,
Yo.. study and try to solve it
A spontaneous temper tantrum,
no way to resolve it
Volcanic explosive debris,
andesite and dacite rock
Goes off when she wants,
oh no.. not set to your clock
Mayon Volcano Philippines,
and Mount Fuji in Japan
Part of the "Rim of Fire",
that still amazes modern man
The majesty of Mount Rainer,
lies in Washington state
Pillar into the sky,
jaw dropping she's so great
Conical rough hued mountain,
so steep at the vent
A composite volcano,
BAM.. an explosive event!
Cinder cone volcano,
gets its name from falling ash
What goes up in smoke,
comes down in smoldering crash
Steep slopes like a Composite,
but its flat at the top
Much smaller than a Shield,
less deadly in its fiery pop
But what's truly outstanding,
how quick this mount can grow
In 9 years from that 43' cornfield,
the magnificent Paricutin in Mexico
There's the Sunset Crater in Arizona,
Lava Butte in Oregon
These treasures known for beauty,
and much less for brawn
Shield volcano,
incredibly powerful without jumping
Mountain continually grows,
as liquid fire keeps pumping
Heat beyond belief, boiling river..
there's no mistaking
Takes out everything in its path,
no lying, I'm not faking
Slow dancing combustion,
that forms layers of smooth rock
A night and day red rumble,
a never ceasing tick tock
She's a five degree angle,
of two thousand degree basalt
Her flow over many miles,
a deadly unrelenting assault
Magma from the mantle burns,
a hole in lithospheric plate
A flaming searing inferno,
a blazing scorching lake
Mauna Loa and Kilauea,
spatter ramparts curtains of fire
These are Hawaii's highest peaks,
and tourist great desire.
But the tallest of all,
on the Red Planet ya see its scars
Higher than three Mount Everest,
Olympus Mons of Mars
She once was a warrior in battle,
unceasing and aglow
Advancing and defeating,
the most massive shield volcano!
But ya can't talk volcanos,
leave Mount Saint Helen's off da map
Wouldn't be good science,
no rhyme to reason in dat info rap
She was the most notorious catastrophic eruption,
May 18, 1980
A massive debris avalanche,
was triggered by this angry lady
The most destructive in US history,
"Teach" remembers that day
When it "snowed" ash across America,
in the middle of May.

Oh,what a hectic month
Oh what a month it's been
Two lots of relies came
Over from the old country
It's been a frantic game
I'm not used to all this stuff
But I'm glad it all took place
Although it was real hectic
No frown did crease my face.
One trip to Margaret River
Wow! This, it was a blast
We toured those rich surroundings
Till we went home at last
Then the darned flue knocked me down
And I spent some time in bed
And then I put my back out
As I banged my bloody head.
It seemed that I was on the mend
But my computer shat itself
I lost both poems, and photos
They're the sum of all my wealth
Thank God I got the poems back
Alas, but not the photos
I guess I lost them, all of them
But this is how it goes
It's been some heavy karma
That's all that I can say
But now that it's all over
I feel real fine today
So it's back to meditation
And working on my soul
It's time to get some relaxation
And once more feeling whole
23 October 2013 @1450hrs.
This expanse of land has seen things.
Things all of us can only see in dreams.
It's seen war, it's gotten it's fair share of scars.
Bombs bursting, bullets throwing sand into the air like it's a volleyball tournament.
The sand running red with blood silently mocking our arteries.
This magnificent stretch of land has seen heroes' tears fall; dropping to their knees while sadness envelopes their fallen brothers but also looking up to their beloved whilst carrying a ring in their hand.
It's seen bright days, the sun glimmering over wet sand, footprints of past loves being washed away as the sun smacks the horizon.
This expanse of land...has seen things we can only imagine.
Afternoons the sky shuts down around the swamp's warning tapes
propped up with restoration piping and dirt leak fencing.
We're fleeing toward the wild, seeking the names and shapes,
the same way the Cedar Waxwing flit and grip for berries tree to tree.
Canada Geese are easy, they lead off down the lane leaving residue,
Widgeons have green stripes and gold stripes, one American
the other European, and they're all mumbling our family phew-do
they didn't burn the kid, they can't keep the house clean, drugs…
Blink away the cold wind tears. Forget all that, only remember
Shovelers have the long low profile and the long bill from studies
in New Zealand, like a deep breath, we set aside work, unlimber
spy the race of killdeer away from their guarding territory in gravel.
Our boss didn't try to replace us, he ducked out to a new job
leaving the crime ringing in our ears like the police car roaring past.
Head down, we tunnel under the high way finding the dunk and bob
of mergansers and their hallowed or red heads,
remarking differences when the sudden scream of honking
mallards flee up river. Caught off guard, we wonder did we cause
all this pain? The rise and dunk flying goldfinch happily chirping
cling to the thistle, their favorite waste near the waste water
ponds where all the Black River water flows for cleaning
spilling into the nesting lower stages of the tertiary treatment.
That's all this is, treatment for the shock wave week riding
current events on our shoulders, almost like the red-tailed hawk
that screams and skims our head, rising up to the setting sun
turning the sky purple and pink and bruised. That's when wood
ducks skim into view, our breath captured and then steaming undone
but soon the heavens offer confirmation, blue angels
with their huge oversized wings soar in pairs down as gift.
We hold each other then, let screams silence, detail enriched.
The joy of the pheasant shoot.
Getting set for the big event
The good folk do their stuff
They beat the earth with sticks, do they?
With their little dogs so tough
They flush those pheasants from the scrub
So all can have some fun
Killing them with smiling faces
As they fire beloved guns.
Then as the pheasants in a panic
They bolt into the sky
Our hero's with their guns in hand
Make sure that hundreds die
As the air is filled with the cracking sounds
As birds fall all around
Just so these fools can get there jollies
These corpses cover ground.
I wonder sometimes if these hero's
Have any souls at all
That they could get such satisfaction
Doing these acts so cruel
Sometimes it leaves me speechless
At the way folk get their pleasure
Killing beauty just for fun
Is an ugly kind of leisure.
10 September 2013 @ 1340hrs
The paddock's filled with bulls
All waiting there to die
They don't have too much future
For the farmer, he's the guy
Who has the power of life, and death
He decides what lives and dies
As he fattens each beast carefully
That's where his money lies.
I see these creatures roaming round
And it makes me feel quite sad
To know that for my appetite
These beasts be treated bad
The taste of steak is mighty good
But what a price we pay
I eat my share of it, that's true
Perhaps I'll stop one day!
One paddock filled with bulls
It opens my eyes wide
To realize these wondrous beasts
Throughout the years have died
So I might feast with bulging belly
It really is not fair
Living on this little farm
It fills my heart with care.
i like to dress for an imaginary girl
(we will meet each other soon) by putting on
a silk tie with subtle Chinese birds
sewn in.
she may be picturing me in her mirror
as she applies exactly the necessary line
of mascara to lengthen her lashes and darken
her eyes.
whatever begins as a mystery ends as a
blind, the nuances so well known
that birds chirp violently at their mirror images
but the pools
as they are revealed in the sunlight of
every accidental nod of the eyes remain
calm as a mirror in which there is no
image ever seen.

Important Notes About Sky Welcome Bonuses
In the case where you sign up at multiple products, you will still only have one Sky account – Sky refers to it as your Sky Bet account, and you use that one central account to access all of the products – poker, casino, sports and bingo – at Sky.
Sky will generally award the bonus for whatever product you use for real money play first. So think carefully about which bonus is best for you, because once you place a bet you've basically committed to the bonus for that product.
Each of the welcome bonuses has unique terms that you should review, but don't worry – out of all of the gambling sites online, Sky has arguably the fairest and easiest-to-understand terms.
Using Sky promo codes
It's simple to use a promo code at Sky. The promo code is just a short code – different for each product – that you enter when creating your account (shown in the example below).
Why should you use a promo code? Using a promo code qualifies you for special bonuses that vary from product to product. For example, using the Sky Poker promo code POKER qualifies you for a £10 no deposit bonus plus a 200% matched deposit up to £500.

BPI launches new credit payment system for mobile traders
Bank of the Philippine Islands launched on Friday a system that would allow business owners to use their smartphones or tablet computers to accept credit payments.
The move will allow BPI to expand into previously untapped markets, initially focusing on mobile entrepreneurs such as food stall owners, BPI senior vice president for card banking Ginbee Go told reporters.
"What we are trying to do is to make payments more convenient. Sometimes customers don't have enough cash so merchants lose a potential sale. By converting mobile phones into a point of sale, merchants (will be able to accommodate the credit purchase and realize that additional sale)," Go said.
Businesses, according to Go, typically receive a sales boost of 20 percent to 25 percent when credit card payments are allowed.
Merchants will be charged a so-called merchant's cost of between 2 percent to 3.5 percent per transaction, depending on the type of business, she said.
Go said the system was still in pilot phase, which should initially involve 500 devices, with stall owners in Cucina Andare by Mercate Centrale outside the Glorietta shopping mall.
She added that the idea was to bring the system nationwide while catering to a variety of businesses, although she declined to elaborate.
The system works with clients downloading the mobile point-of-sale app and then attaching a specially designed dongle onto the device. The phone will need access to Wi-Fi or its own data connection.
Transactions will be paperless and receipts are sent to customers via e-mail, she said.
"It does not require the business to maintain a minimum volume of transactions so they can keep using the service once they sign up," Go said.
The system will work with iOS devices and select Android devices.—Miguel R. Camus

A team from the Florida Division of Forestry took over operations this week at the wildfire burning at the Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Refuge.
"In the past, North Carolina has come down to assist Florida with our fires, and we thought we'd return the favor," said Nigel Baker, spokesman for the new team, which will work a 14-day rotation.
It's providing relief to teams from the North Carolina Division of Forest Resources that have worked in rotations for some 13 weeks.
Staff usually work 14 to 15 hours a day for 14 days in a typical rotation, Baker said by phone Wednesday.
Morning briefings start at 7 a.m., but most have to drive from motels and hotels that can be some distance away.
Surface burning around the fire, which has burned 41,543 acres since starting July 1, has been minimal lately but "hot spots" do exist, Baker said.
Firefighters are no longer pumping water from Lake Phelps but continue to draw on the Alligator River, pushing water into streams and canals. The water is then irrigated to flood the fire in some areas or to run through sprinkler systems.
The management team uses helicopters and infrared technology to determine the best places to flood, Baker said. The team also speaks with residents and geologists about how the water will flow.
Ryan Hutchins, (252) 441-1627,
fire status
It's underground The fire has been staying mostly below the surface after recent rain. "It hasn't expanded as far as landwise," Baker said. "Depthwise, it has."
But it could resurface The surface burning could return, however, along with smoke. Analysts retrieved samples of peat soil Wednesday that had already dried from Tuesday's rain, according to a news release. The soil was "capable of supporting combustion."

this is the worst season yet. every fight so far sucked! this shit isn't worth watching. man they don't even know the name of choke hold that won the fight last night!(side choke?) try arm triangle dumb asses!!!!!!!!!
Last week on the show, Matt gave up valuable info from Team Rashad that forced them to change tactics. In the end it didn't matter though, as Brendan gave the team their fourth straight win.
Tonight's show starts with training for Team Rashad, who is 4-0, not that Rashad wants to brag (of course he gives credit to the coaches. Poor Team Rampage doesn't have as good coaches). During practice, big Matt rolls and hurts his arm, but with his football player mentality, he tries to ignore it. In his head, he thinks that if he gets a cortisone shot, he'll be fine. The older, wiser, Rashad tries to talk him out of it, knowing that it won't last. But meathead Matt won't listen.
Shortly after, Marcus arrives at the gym and Team Rashad is still there hanging out. As he walks in, Rashad jokes with him, offering him a spot on his team. But then Rashad also lets on that Marcus will probably be fighting soon. This just elates Marcus. We'll see how long his happiness lasts. At Rampage's training session, poor Rampage is feeling sorry for himself over his 4 losses, claiming it's even affecting his sex life. Oh wah!
As they are training, all eyes seem to be on Rampage's last choice, Zak. Even though he's quite large and a wrestler, he doesn't seem to be doing well with the grappling. Down on his back, he looks like a turtle stuck in place. Rampage admits that his hopes won't be too high if Zak is picked for the next fight. At the house, it turns out that Zak is the butt of jokes there too. As he is accused by Sims of leaving behind a "family of Jensens" in the shower, several guys comment that Zak is just very sensitive and can't take a joke. He kind of casts himself out of the group.
Back at the gym, Matt tries his hand at training even with his arm hurt. With his side all wrapped up, he is still hopeful to fight next. Rashad just thinks he's crazy. Matt promises Rashad a win, but still complains that his shoulder hurts. The coaches doubt his motivation for being there in the first place. They really don't believe he's there to fight, but just to be there.
When Team Rampage arrives, Shivers tells Rampage about the shower incident, but what can Rampage do but shake his head? Next thing Rampage knows, he looks over at the guys training and suddenly sees that Zak passed out! Not sure if he just didn't tap out in time, Rampage is even embarrassed for him.
So the next shot we see is Matt playing basketball in the pool. Several guys notice how one minute it hurts, and the next he's training or playing. The general consensus seems to be that he's faking it so that he'll be picked to fight last. Everyone else just wants to see him fight to prove himself. At training, Matt and Roy are rolling around and all Rashad can do is watch how well Matt's shoulder is moving around…hmmm. When the coaches call for the guys together for drills, Matt asks if he could ice his shoulder. But Rashad calls his bluff and tells him that he looked like he was moving fine. Matt's excuse? He's sore and was just concerned. (And what was with the He-Man rant???)
In the Team Rampage van, poor Zak gets ragged on again about the whole masturbating thing. But Zak claims he'll just shrug it off and just answer in the cage…
And that leads us up to the next fight announcement (which Rashad is starting to enjoy a little too much!) in which Justin Wren will fight Wes Sims. Rashad doesn't see Sims as a threat, but Rampage is just desperate for a win. Marcus, who clearly thought he was going to fight next, starts walking around the gym all pouty. When Rashad finally corners him, Marcus claims that he had his word (which he didn't), but he's pissed regardless. Rut roh!
Justin Wren, who trains under Travis Lutter, feels like this will be a youth vs. experience matchup. While he recognizes that Sims has far more experience, he also feels like he is more well-rounded than Sims. Using his youth to his advantage, he feels like he can keep the pressure on Sims.
Wes Sims, however, just wants to make things exciting. As a former fighter in the UFC, Kimbo gives the fight to Sims just based on his experience. Of course, the conversation then turns to Kimbo who wants to fight again and is looking for any way possible to do it (shoving Wes Sims down the stairs? Hmmm…). Sims then goes on to pooh-pooh Justin's wrestling by saying that he has trained with the best. And just when I thought he couldn't get goofier, he feels the need to lift his shirt to show off his killer bod….yuck.
At the weigh-ins, Justin strips down to his lovely purple bikini briefs and comes in at 247.5. Not to be outdone, Wes shows off his own black banana hammock. I'm glad I didn't eat before watching this.
Justin admits that this is probably the biggest fight of his life, but imagines there will be bigger fights to come. He claims to feel less pressure for this fight, which makes sense as he has less to prove.
Wes promises not to disappoint Dana and the Fertitta's. He seems to just be happy to be back. All he wants is to "put an ass whoopin' down." "The jungle, reality, the cage. They're all home." Dude, maybe they should have psych evaluations before this show…
(BTW — is it just me, or is Dana getting fat?)
Right away Wren goes for a takedown and pins Sims up against the cage. Sims nails Wren with some nasty foot stomps. To counter, Wren gets in some knees. They separate and after a weak exchange, Wren gets Sims down on his back. He starts in side control, landing some nice shots and eventually works into a full mount. Wren wraps his arms around Sims's neck and switches back to side control for the choke. Wren has his arms wrapped around tight, but Sims refuses to tap as he turns purple. Finally, the ref stops the fight.
Winner: Justin Wren via Submission (side choke)
Once again, Rashad notices that Rampage and his team are not in the cage checking on Sims, so he goes in to look after the still dazed fighter. Justin is thrilled with his win, as he should be. Now, Team Rashad is up 5-0. Their dream of 8-0 is looking more and more realistic.
Team Rampage files into their locker room and the coaches can't figure out why their guys aren't winning. Dana sees it as the team just not connecting with them, but Rampage puts on no airs about being a coach. In yet another heated exchange with Rashad, he tries to defend his coaching "skills." He doesn't feel he needs to be in the cage after the fight, and feels that he's doing things right. (It has to do with him not going to prison? Huh?) Come on…when are these two just gonna throw down??
Next week: Rampage starts running his mouth again and he and Darrill nearly get into a little tussle. And yet again, poor Zak becomes a target in the house. But what's worse? An injury could put Kimbo back in the mix. Please say it ain't so!
this is the worst season yet. every fight so far sucked! this shit isn't worth watching. man they don't even know the name of choke hold that won the fight last night!(side choke?) try arm triangle dumb asses!!!!!!!!!
Really? Herb Dean doesn't know what he's doing?
Shawn – You are a butthead!
Arm Triangle Choke when done from the side is often termed a side choke.
Look it up and learn something.
And – who the hell cares about the terminology!?!? FIGHT!
Just for you Shawn!
Standing Side Choke:
Now apologize butthead!
Wes Sims sure is a character…
yeah i kinda liked ol Wes till i saw him fight or try to fight…. he sure didnt look like much … didn't he say he trained with Courture or somebody or something .. sure didn't show me much … so far the fights looked like the fights on shotime xc or what ever that crap is
He said he trained with Coleman…. there is just something not right in the head with that guy. He's funny, yeah, but almost in a creepy way.
Shawn, before you talk shit, you should know what you're talking about. hahaha.
i remember he used to be called wes the project sims, coleman thought he was going to turn him into the champ one day.
Who else is getting tired of the over-hype and lies? The preview spot for this show said, "See the result that no one saw coming!" And with Kimbo they were like this was the biggest fight on TV!!! Then afterwards Dana says, "Yeah, the fights on this season sucks so far, but all the rest are amazing! This is the best season, yet!" Oh, yeah? When is this season going to start being the "best, yet?"
You guys know I'm always defending Dana and the show, but I have to admit that doubt is creeping into my mind that this season is ever going to be watchable in the future. I wish I could just fast-forward to the final fight and be done with the drama.
But I DO wanna see Big Baby Marcus fight. I have high hopes….just hope he doesn't tap out to a SIDE CHOKE in the first minute.
TUF 10 sucks, The Ruins has better fighting on it then the ulitmate fighter.
My god, people, it's not that bad! You make it seem like you're watching Legally Blonde or something! Yeah, these guys aren't as good as in previous seasons, but it's still pretty entertaining. Just watching all this different personalities clash, and watching the big guys gas is fun to watch. I especially enjoyed seeing Kimbo not live up to his hype.
If you don't like it, change the freakin' channel and stop bitching about it in here.
its not that bad- its pretty bad
Legally Blonde- might be better
big guys gas is fun to watch- boring to watch
enjoyed seeing Kimbo not live up to his hype. -what hype that he sucks? i thought he did better than i expected so far he dosn't look any worse than the other guys and he fought the best guy in the house.
i keep watching hoping something good is going to happen but i keep getting let down.i won't give up yet but it has been pretty lackluster.
I think on all the other seasons of TUF there has been a couple of guys on the show that you knew were going to be really good and going to do well in the UFC after the show was over. On this season there really hasn't been a clear cut person that has shown that they could do well against the current UFC HW's.
Yeah, the fights so far have been sort of lackluster. But Rampage still continues to crack me up each week. That entertainment alone is enough for me.
The best part of the whole season was seeing kimbo get the better of roy nelson forcing him to shoot for a taedown. Since kimbo was ko'd by Seth in 7 seconds. I guess kimbo proved it was a fluke. Other than that I dont see anyone growing into a serious contender. They are all 1 dimensional really.
Ramp is funny tho… the way he says things ..then looks at ya .. good stuff ….Rashad is the asshole i always thought he was …and i am not sure big Marcus has much but… i might be wrong
@ roy –
It's no worse than the Junie season.
I'm a chick and even I know Legally Blonde is crap. And the fact that you even said maybe about about it means that I can no longer take you seriously. Next thing you'll be saying is that you like High School Musical.
Uh, did you live under a rock this season? People were hyping Kimbo to not only beat Nelson, but to make it pretty far. And the only one who looked worse than Kimbo was Shivers.
@ zack – I agree about the Rampage factor. Although I was kinda disappointed that he didn't really say anything too off the way this week. I wanted a Rampage-ism to add to the list!
@ steve – huh? Are you implying that Kimbo's loss to Seth was a fluke? Please tell me you're being sarcastic…
@ WHODINI – Rampage is nuts. He says crazy things and with a straight face! He scares me! But I disagree about Rashad. Before this season I disliked them both equally, but Rashad is growing on me. He seems to be a good guy, and he's definitely the better coach.
I dont think the problem is that these guys suck, I think most are just not as experienced as the fighters on the other seasons. I.E. Kimbo and all the ex-football players.
Worst season ever and it should be cancelled. No fighter on the show would last 1 min in the UFC.
Umm, Tbone – Wes Sims already did.
If you don't like it, why are you watching it? And why are you reading the recap?
i agree nicole it might be one of the worst seasons but its still better than 90 percent of the shit shows they have on tv
It's no worse than the Junie season.- fight wise yes it is
even said maybe about about it means that I can no longer take you seriously- the fact that you think these fights or fighters are good i can't take your mma views serious anymore.
Uh, did you live under a rock this season? People were hyping Kimbo to not only beat Nelson, but to make it pretty far. And the only one who looked worse than Kimbo was Shivers. – who?everyone i know said roy was the fav and kimbo would lose his first fight. kimbo won some fans over and they where hoping he did well was all i saw and to me he has looked better than everyone but nelson who beat him. not saying he would beat the wrestlers who have fought but they have not been impressive at all.
Umm, Tbone – Wes Sims already did. yeah years ago and today he would not last a minute.
Even fight-wise it's no worse. Only one good fighter came out of that season.
I didn't say they were good. Where did I say that? I just said the season isn't as bad as you're making it out to be.
Apparently you don't read watch TV much. Spike has been promoting Kimbo nonstop. Hell, they even keep implying that he's coming back. I never said that Roy wasn't the favorite, or even that Kimbo is any good. I just said that there was and still is positive hype around Kimbo.
Tbone just said none of them would last in the UFC. I was pointing out that one already did.
tbone…it's setting ratings records….they're not going to cancel the show just because you don't like it. hahahaha.

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Rajnath Singh said on Monday that the decision on the Prime Ministerial candidate of the party will be taken by the party's Parliamentary Board.
"Narendra Modi is the most popular leader. But there is a system in place in our party. Whether it's the Chief Ministerial candidate or the Prime Ministerial candidate, our Central Parliamentary Board decides on these issues. At an appropriate time, this decision will be taken," Mr. Singh told reporters on his first visit here after being appointed as the BJP president.
He was here to "seek the blessings of senior Sangh leaders and to pay homage to Dr. Hedgewar and Shree Golwalkar" at the Hedgewar Smriti Mandir here.
However, he refused to react to BJP leader Yashwant Sinha's statement regarding the National Democratic Alliance partner Janata Dal (United). "I am, right now, on a tour; I will react only after reading that statement," he stated.
Defending the outgoing party president Nitin Gadkari for his comments targeting Income Tax officials probing the Purti Group, Mr. Singh said, "You should understand his feelings behind that statement. He wanted to say that the administrative system should work impartially."
Mr. Singh was confident that the BJP government in Karnataka is stable and will complete its full term and "will come back to power once again after the Assembly elections."
Slamming the Centre for delaying the decision on the Telangana issue, Mr. Singh said the Prime Minister should come clean on it. He made it clear that the BJP supports separate the Statehood demand "wholeheartedly."
"The Congress and the United Progressive Alliance had promised a separate Telangana State. We have been supporting and agitating for this demand from the past 25 years, in and out of Parliament," he said.
Later on, addressing a farmer's rally in Chandrapur district, Mr. Singh called Mr. Gadkari as "his younger brother and a national leader."
"I would not have allowed Gadkari to resign if he had been in Delhi. He declared his decision from Mumbai and I couldn't do anything. Everyone in our party wanted him to get the second term as the BJP president but he was hurt by the false allegations levelled against him. But the BJP is behind him," said Mr. Singh, addressing his first public meeting after taking over as the party president.
He also met and spent an hour at senior Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh ideologue M.G. Vaidya's residence. Mr. Vaidya's younger son Shreenivas Vaidya called this visit as "personal." Mr. Gadkari did not accompany Mr. Singh when he went to meet Mr. Vaidya.

The San Diego Padres have obtained right-hander Brandon Kloess from the Chicago White Sox for outfielder Blake Tekotte. The 27-year-old Kloess was a combined 6-3 with a 2.69 ERA for Double-A Birmingham and Triple-A Charlotte this year. He struck out 70 in 73 2-3 innings. Tekotte, 25, was designated for assignment Friday. A third-round draft pick in 2008, he hit .163 (8 for 49) in 30 games for the Padres during the past two seasons. Tekotte batted .243 with two homers and nine RBIs in 89 games this year at Triple-A Tucson. The trade was announced Wednesday.

Man named in FIR says he is not aware of the allegations
The Cyber Crime Cell of the Chennai Police has registered a First Information Report to begin a probe into allegations of spying on Tamil activists and others by a security agency allegedly hired by the Indian Premier League (IPL).
A person named Gorki Chandola has been named in the FIR under provisions of the Information Technology (Amendment) Act, 2008, and the Indian Wireless Telegraphy Act, 1933.
The FIR follows a complaint by advocate P. Pugalenthi. He accused Mr. Chandola of illegally monitoring phone conversations.
Mr. Pugalenthi, who is also secretary of the Tamil Nadu People's Rights Forum, alleged that the suspect was in possession of 'off-the-air' monitoring equipment and was monitoring the calls of Tamil activists, student leaders, politicians, advocates, journalists and some police officers.
Hours after the case was registered, the Central Crime Branch (CCB) recorded Mr. Pugalenthi's statement. "They wanted to know the basis of my complaint and details of the sources. I have given them the relevant inputs," he said.
Contacted by The Hindu, Mr. Chandola said he did not want to comment as he was aware neither of the charges against him nor of the FIR registered by the police.
A senior CCB officer said a special team, headed by an inspector, was formed to probe the charges. "We will seek the help of service providers to check whether any of their numbers were illegally intercepted or monitored by any unauthorised agency or persons. No decision has been taken yet on summoning Mr. Chandola," he said.
The FIR invokes Section 66 of the IT Act, under which computer-related offences could attract up to five years in prison.
Some student organisations had threatened to disrupt IPL matches in Chennai if Sri Lankan players were not removed from the teams.
