Delino DeShields Jr. stole 101 bases in the minors this year
Sep 4, 2012, 2:44 PM EDT
It hasn't gotten any attention because of Billy Hamilton's record-breaking stolen base numbers, but a second prospect cracked triple-digit steals in the minors this season.
Delino DeShields Jr., whose father played 13 seasons in the majors and was once traded straight-up for Pedro Martinez, stole 101 bases in 135 games between two levels of Single-A in the Astros' farm system.
Like his dad, DeShields Jr. is a second baseman with very good on-base skills and amazing speed, and in addition to all the running the No. 8 overall pick in the 2010 draft hit .287 with a .387 on-base percentage at age 19.
Hamilton broke the all-time minor league record by stealing 155 bases in 132 games and was thrown out 37 times for a success rate of 80.7 percent. By comparison DeShields stole 101 bases and was thrown out 19 times for a success rate of 84.2 percent.

How about all of this Astros love on HBT? You'd think they were a relative with a terminal illness.
But Delinos' just like most of their other prospects. He is three years away from helping, if he makes it.

Its just great seeing that name mentioned in baseball again. His old man was among my favourite Expos. I feel old, though. I always thought of Delino DeShields as a kid, even when I was kid. Now his kid is going to be in MLB. Damn, I'm old.

- stex52 - Sep 4, 2012 at 3:09 PM
Spell it like a British subject. Don't let all those crazy ex-colonists stop you. I still spell the word "grey" because I grew up seeing it that way in books.
But otherwise, "We hope his kid is going to be in the MLB." No certainty yet. The original rap was that he was a little out of control in his approach to the game. If he has mastered that, he is by all accounts a marvelous athlete.
- cur68 - Sep 4, 2012 at 3:14 PM
Well "grey" IS spelled "grey", so you sir are correct. There simply isn't any other way to spell it unless one is an out-and-out barbarian. Still, no matter what, Delino DeShields Jr. better stay the hell off my lawn. And his old man, too. Dang kids.
- stex52 - Sep 4, 2012 at 3:25 PM
And I wanted to compliment you on a new take on an old phrase around here. My French isn't the best (ask the waitresses in Montreal). I struggled at first, thinking of using "sortir" instead of "descendre."
- cur68 - Sep 4, 2012 at 3:56 PM
Yeah, that was a sticky one. The injunction "get off" is what you have to work with. If you go with just "get" you wind up with the french word "obtain" (obtenez). "Sortir" (to leave) is actually better than "get". However, using "get off", the whole sentiment, brings one quite logically to "descendre" or "climb down from" (or "to go down"). The trouble with French as a language is that is too dang polite. In no way would I clench my pipe in my teeth, level my Mossberg 500, and say "climb down off of my lawn". I'd use a lot crazier language than that. Bat-shit crazy language. In fact, its pretty certain that the word "mo-fo" in all its glory might be used, too. I get all old school when people are trampling my lawn.
- frenchysplatediscipline - Sep 4, 2012 at 3:24 PM
Holy crap cur, you ain't kiddin. I can still the the Rated Rookie on DeShield's Donruss rookie card in my mind.
Speaking of which, the Batting Stance Guy was in IT the other day and he was wearing a T-shirt with the that old Rated Rookie stamp on it.
It was awesome!
- lookinghitterish - Sep 4, 2012 at 5:21 PM
Same here, feeling-old-wise. I was a kid when he was a kid (we played on rival high school teams as kids, even), and now that he has a kid who's old enough to have kids… yeesh.

"Delino DeShields Jr., whose father played 13 seasons in the majors and was once traded straight-up for Pedro Martinez,"
In all fairness, Martinez was much too small to be a starting pitcher. I think history proved Tommy LaSorda right on that one!
- manchestermiracle - Sep 5, 2012 at 10:01 AM
Delino DeShields straight up for Pedro Martinez, one of the worst trades the Dodgers ever made. Nothing DeShields ever did in Montreal translated to West Coast success. Mike Piazza and Paul Konerko come to mind, but DeShields/Martinez might just be the worst. Forcing Mike Scioscia out of the organization? That's another subject, but an equally horrible move. And did you know they passed on Vladimir Guerrero? Twice?

KIRKLAND, Wash. -- A 19-year-old woman has died of a neck wound at an apartment complex in Kirkland.
Police spokesman Mike Murray said the woman's boyfriend called 911 about 3 a.m. Wednesday. Paramedics arrived and tried to save her, but she didn't make it.
Unfortunately when they were getting ready to transport, it was obvious that she had passed away in the aid car, said Murray.
Detectives were trying to figure out the circumstances that led to the woman's death.
We don't know at this time if it was self-inflicted or it was done by somebody else, said Murphy, so that is what our investigation is hopefully going to find out.
Police were conducting an investigation at the apartment complex, locted in the 13000 block of 100th Place NE. They were also searching the area around a nearby Albertson's grocery store.
A police dog was brought in to search the alley across from where the woman was found.
We found what we believe is a possibly a piece of evidence some more evidence back behind the Albertson's, said Murphy.
Police obtained a search warrant and began searching the apartment.
Police were also questioning the boyfriend at the police station. At this point, he is cooperating with police and not considered a suspect.

Secrets of the Book of Raziel
The mystical "Book of Raziel," the Sefer Raziel, is considered to be one of the most important books on Jewish magic. It is also called the "Book of Secrets" or the "Book of the Archangel Raziel (Ratziel)."
Raziel HaMalach (the full title) contains all of the knowledge of the Universe known at the time. This ancient manuscript explains everything from Astrology of the planets in our solar system to the creative life energy of this earth- birth, death, reincarnation of the soul and many other spiritual subjects.
This study section of the Kabbalah covers the Book of Raziel.
Angel Raziel guards The Book of Secrets
"Each day the angel Raziel makes proclamation on Mount Horeb, from heaven, of the secrets of men to all that dwell upon the earth, and his voice resounds throughout the world."

Alan Scott "Artisan" Brick Oven
3 Attachment(s)
Here are pics of the Alan Scott oven we had built in TN:
And here are the first pizzas we made in it:
The oven is 42"x42" and made of fire brick, with a chimney of red brick. You can see from the album that the cladding is refractory concrete. We insulated with vermiculite. There is a door in the back that permits the addition of vermiculite over time. The oven has three thermocouples placed in the dome and hearth. The exterior cladding is fieldstone taken from the property.
I have to check the door width and height, but it is as specified in the plans available from ovencrafters.net. I'm pretty sure the plans for this oven are also available in the book, "The Bread Builders" by Alan Scott and Dan Wing.
Re: Alan Scott "Artisan" Brick Oven
the link you provided to your pictures gave me this "This album does not have any pictures. "
But your pizza looks great. Did you follow the plans to the letter or did you make some adjustments.
Re: Alan Scott "Artisan" Brick Oven
So I checked the plans and the door is 20" wide and 10" tall.
Re: Alan Scott "Artisan" Brick Oven
That's odd. When I go to the album, it's full of pictures that the moderator has approved. This is the URL at the top of the webpage:
Am I doing something wrong? I'm new to this forum and likely to be missing something.
Re: Alan Scott "Artisan" Brick Oven
We followed the plans to the letter, because with my last oven, also an Alan Scott design, the mason didn't follow the plans too closely and we ended up with some functional flaws. I noticed at the beginning of the plans there is a page outlining all the common mistakes that are made when building one of these. We made more than a few.

In case you still can't see the album, here are a few of the pics:
Re: Alan Scott "Artisan" Brick Oven
I don't know either ...I see the album but the picture count is 0.
Anyway for the pictures you posted ..WOW... quite impressive, looks great!!!
What part of NC are you in East , West? I can throw a rock to NC. Just curious.
Re: Alan Scott "Artisan" Brick Oven
I'm in Mooresville, which is about 30 miles north of Charlotte. Our oven is a weekend property in Eastern Tennessee (Smokey Mtns.)
Maybe some knowledgeable person will come along and advise us about the album.
Re: Alan Scott "Artisan" Brick Oven
I like the way you put a whimsical face on and over it. Looks great to me. I must say I'm a bit envious of its setting also. :)
I don't see your album on your profile page (where it should be seen), but do see it using your link....:reallypuzzled: :)
Re: Alan Scott "Artisan" Brick Oven
I just made an album to see why.
I set it to public or everyone not private. :)
Edit: I can see my pics, can anyone else?

Cossack militia attacked Russian punk group Pussy Riot members with whips and teargas in the Winter Olympics host city of Sochi on Wednesday.
The militia attacked the group as it tried to perform under a sign advertising the Sochi Olympics.
According to news.com.au, six group members, five women and one man, wore their signature ski masks and were pulling out a guitar and microphone when some 10 Cossacks and other security officials moved in and started beating them.
One Cossack appeared to use pepper spray, another whipped several group members while others ripped off their masks and threw the guitar in bin.
Police arrived and questioned witnesses, but no one was arrested.
The incident lasted less than three minutes and one Pussy Riot member was left with blood on his face.
The group has called for a boycott of the Sochi Olympics and has insisted that any world leader coming to Sochi would be giving tacit approval of Putin's heavy-handed policies, the report added.

TDA pest control fees lowered; refunds ordered for past year
Texas Department of Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples on Thursday announced a reduction in fees for the TDA's Structural Pest Control program (SPC) for the next fiscal year and ordered fee refunds to be issued for the past year.
"I am happy to announce these refunds and fee reductions for businesses and professionals who strive to provide quality pest control services to Texans," Staples said in a news release. "Since the Texas Legislature transferred the structural pest control program to TDA, we have worked closely with legislators and stakeholders to build an efficient program that works smarter and is more accountable to protecting consumers and ensuring pest control services are performed by licensed and trained professionals."
The state budget passed by the 82nd Texas Legislature in 2011 resulted in a 40 percent reduction in state general revenue appropriations for TDA programs and services. As a result, Staples implemented a full reorganization and restructure of the agency and the way its services are delivered.
Refunds are estimated to exceed $350,000, Staples said.
TDA's SPC program licenses and regulates pest management professionals who apply pesticides in and around building structures. License fees fund TDA inspections to ensure licensed applicators meet required consumer safety and operating standards.
License fee refunds will be issued for the difference between the new reduced license fee and the fee amount paid during the past fiscal year, Sept. 1, 2011, through Aug. 31, 2012. TDA will refund the portion of the license fee that exceeds the amount needed to operate the SPC program.
For questions regarding refunds, call 866-943-9186 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Medieval Review 95.02.03
Reviewed by:
I would like to thank the editors of the BMR for having chosen as a reviewer of my book, Bodytalk: When Women Speak in Old French Literature, someone as highly informed about issues of female voice as Nancy Jones (see the volume of essays she has co-edited with Leslie Dunn, Embodied Voices: Representing Female Vocality in Western Culture, Cambridge Univ. Press, 1994). Jones's review of Bodytalk that appeared in the BMR represents accurately and in detail my book's concern with female subjectivity, sexual difference and the role of the body in constructing each of these. Jones also conveys accurately my position in the longstanding feminist debate about the dangers of reducing the complex phenomenon that we call "the female body" to a textualized feminine.
For those unfamiliar with this debate, it is given extended treatment in Alice Jardine's Gynesis: Configurations of Woman and Modernity (l985). But other arguments against that aspect of Derridean deconstruction which tends to overly metaphorize the concept of "woman" were articulated between l982 and l991 by a number of feminist theorists, among them Gayatri Spivak, Nancy K. Miller, Elizabeth Grosz, Jane Flax, Rosi Braidotti, and in a slightly different vein Naomi Schor. I did not invent the terms of this debate, although I have taken a position within it. I agree with those feminists who assert that 1)the post-structuralist affirmation of the metaphor of woman as subversive risks silencing a significant range of alternative female voices and that 2) the critical claim to a disruptive textualized feminine must be understood in the context of who makes that claim and from what position he or she speaks.
As for "bodytalk" and what it means, the concept is carefully detailed in the preface and introduction to my book. I encourage readers to consult the full argument. For the record, however, let me quote a few key segments: "This book is about female bodies and what they say in Old French literary texts authored by men. My interest in the topic is not purely literary or theoretical but also personal and political. . . My project here is to provide the feminist reader of medieval literary texts with a strategy for interpreting the female body as it has been encoded (stereotyped, fetishized, fantasized) within Old French literary texts, by listening to what it says. That is, I attempt to hear, within the dominant discourses that construct female nature in the French Middle Ages. . . other voices that speak against and dissent from the dominant tradition."I have chosen to call this resistant doubled discourse 'bodytalk.' And in proposing that we listen for it, I do not mean to imply that such bodytalk exists de facto in the literary text. It is not something that medieval authors—consciously or not—make their characters do; rather bodytalk is something that we as feminist readers can choose to hear. . . This book explores then how female voices, fashioned by a male author to represent misogynous fantasies of female corporeality can also be heard to rewrite the tales in which they appear."
And there is more, for anyone interested in reading further.

She may not end up with Casper Smart, but transgender model and alleged sexting partner to Jennifer Lopez's boyfriend, Sofie Vissa, has been offered her very own porn flick with the industry's top dog Vivid Entertainment, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.
Vivid founder Steve Hirsch penned an offer letter on Thursday to the provocative 23-year-old model who says she exchanged nude photos with Smart, 27, and even titled the XXX film, DownLo with Sofie Vissa.
"We don't normally do transsexual celebrity tapes, but in your case we just might make an exception," Hirsch wrote.
"We propose that you make an adult film with us. We will cast for a Casper Smart lookalike, and you may participate in the casting; in fact, you may choose the final 'Casper.'"
The adult porn company says Vissa has "JLo looks" and promises to give her "input in the choice of sex acts that you'll perform" — but makes no mention of how much they are willing to pay her.
See the full offer letter below:
As Radar previously reported, Vissa allegedly exchanged steamy messages and photos with Smart via Instagram earlier this year, and after the reports surfaced, a second transgender model came out with similar claims.
"I sent him like five or six pictures," Vissa Told Woman's Day magazine. "There were a couple of semi-explicit [ones] and then the last one I was completely nude. And he 'liked' the post."
And the Los Angeles model said there was no way Smart didn't know that she was transgender because she makes it very clear on her Instagram profile.
PHOTOS: Reality Stars In Sex Tapes
"I'd do hashtags on Instagram… to get a lot of followers I'd put #TS or #Shemale or #transgendered on them," she said in the interview. "I remember I put those hashtags on one of my photos and when I went back to look at my phone I'd got a request from Casper."
After Smart reportedly "liked" a lot of her photos, the two began chatting and eventually JLo's boyfriend started privately requesting sexier shots from Vissa, she claims.

Vivid has done celebrity sex tapes with the likes of Kim Kardashian, Kendra Wilkinson, Tila Tequila and Farrah Abraham.
Lopez and Smart have both remained mum on the situation.

Are video games — like strategy and role-playing games, for example — good for the mind?
- Dustin*
Studies show that certain types of video games may improve hand-eye coordination, problem-solving skills, and the mind's ability to process information.
Sometimes, though, video games cause more health troubles than benefits. People who spend too much time sitting while playing video games don't get enough exercise. Lack of exercise can play a role in many health problems, including becoming overweight or obese.
Experts also worry that too much video gaming can interfere with a person's life, hurting things like school performance and friendships. Some psychiatrists are concerned that certain people might even become addicted to playing video games. And it's still unclear what impact games with violent or inappropriate sexual content might have on the brain.
Although the jury's still out on the subject, for now it makes sense to enjoy the right kinds of games in moderation. Try mixing up your games: Stimulate your brain with strategy games sometimes; other times, get up and get into games that allow you to physically interact with the action on the screen.
Follow these tips, limit your game playing time to 1 or 2 hours a day, and video game play can be part of a balanced, well-rounded life.

With hundreds of Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) striking work to protest against Yediyur councillor N.R. Ramesh allegedly assaulting a Group D worker, the citizens' services were hit on Thursday.
The BBMP Employees' Union called off the strike after assurances from Mayor D. Venkatesh Murthy and BBMP Commissioner Siddaiah. The union submitted a memorandum seeking action against the councillor to Mr. Murthy and Mr. Siddaiah.
Earlier in the day, angry protesters took out a procession and burnt an effigy of the councillor on the BBMP head office campus. With a majority of officials participating in the strike, most departments were locked and the BBMP office wore a deserted look.
On Wednesday, Mr. Ramesh allegedly slapped Group D worker E. Suresh five times. Mr. Suresh, who got a medical certificate from Victoria Hospital, filed a complaint against Mr. Ramesh with the Halasoor Gate police.
Union president Subramanyam claimed that the employees were working in a vitiated atmosphere. "Why should an elected representative assault an employee who is only discharging his duties?" he asked and urged Mr. Murthy to initiate action against Mr. Ramesh.
Addressing the employees, Mr. Murthy said that it would be best for BBMP if the staff and elected representatives worked in harmony. "I have never come across such an incident. I will invite Mr. Ramesh, Mr. Suresh and union members for a dialogue to settle the issue."
Meanwhile, Mr. Siddaiah labelled the incident as "unsavoury". "This does not augur well for the BBMP as it has created unnecessary bad blood. The truth will come out after the police investigation," he said.

Notes & Reviews:
Frans Hals (1582-1666) was a portrait painter with a unique style, admired for its originality and vivacity not only by the Impressionists but also by artists like van Gogh or Picasso. Very little documentation of his life exists today, so this film uses the thorough contemplation of his canvases as the key to his story. Works by the landscape artists and still-life painters of his time help to illustrate the age in which he lived. The program further exemplifies the elaborate conventions of portraiture at the time.Notes & Reviews:

text: Whats up guys, i have been out of the rc game for quite some time now and just recentelly picked a brushless revo. In my opinion, this is the baddest, fastest, most upgradable, fun to drive car/truck out there. Took my revo to a buddys house and the hobbby proved to be an addiction as he went online that night and purchased the same machine. Both of us have dumped countless funds, upgrading, tweeking and just making necessary repairs. Well the point of my story is, now he wants to sell the revo in exchage for a slash. Is this a smart decision? One trip to a track and now he wants to downgrade. Keep in mind, money is not a factor in this decision. Also, what is the nut coming out of the tranny do? Should it be tight, with the spring fully compressed? Have a pleasant day all!

"The Dark Age" is episode eight of season two of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The episode was written by Executive Story Editors Rob Des Hotel & Dean Batali and was directed by Bruce Seth Green. The narrative follows Giles, whose friend has died, prompting the Scooby Gang to unravel his mysterious past; meanwhile, Buffy crashes into Ethan Rayne again.
A man is hurriedly making his way through the school grounds trying to find Giles, when he is approached by a demon woman whom he identifies as "Deirdre". The demon moves forward and strangles him, before falling to the ground and dissolving into a puddle of slime.
The next morning Giles awakens from a disturbing dream. At school, Buffy and Willow are seen playing 'Anywhere But Here' in which they recount their fantasies: Buffy is on a beach before sunset having her feet rubbed by Gavin Rossdale, Willow is in Florence at a restaurant eating ziti when she is joined by John Cusack. Giles tells Buffy to meet him later at the hospital where there will be a blood delivery, which attracts vampires. When Giles gets back to the library, a detective is waiting for him who informs Giles that there was a homicide on campus and the dead man had Giles' address on him. Giles identifies the body as an old friend from London. The body has a tattoo, which Giles says he does not recognize.
Shaken, Giles doesn't meet Buffy at the hospital, and she battles the doctor-dressed vampires alone until Angel shows up. She asks Angel to see to it that the blood gets to the hospital and goes to check on Giles. When Buffy goes to Giles' house to see what happened, he opens the door looking dishevelled and appears to have been drinking. He calls another friend Deirdre in London and finds out that she's dead too. As he rolls up his sleeves, we see he has the same tattoo as his friend. Meanwhile, the dead friend, Phillip, comes back to life in the morgue, his eyes flashing, and escapes.
On Saturday, Willow, Xander, and Cordelia meet with Jenny Calendar – Giles' girlfriend – for a computer class. Buffy shows up to express her concern about Giles' behavior. Cordelia mentions the police visit to the library, which had slipped her Cordelia-centered mind. In the library, Buffy finds Giles' former friend Ethan, the costume shop owner who had caused chaos on Halloween. As she calls Giles, Ethan mentions the "Mark of Eyghon". Giles says she's in danger, and the dead Phillip enters.
A panicked Giles shows up and, after a scuffle which leaves Jenny unconscious, Phillip turns into the green goo. The puddle touches Jenny; when she comes to, she seems normal but we see her eyes flash. Willow discovers the "Mark of Eyghon" in a book: Eyghon possesses the body of a dead or unconscious host. They figure out that the demon has jumped from Phillip's body to Jenny's. Possessed Jenny, looking and sounding increasingly like a demon (albeit with a broad American accent), tries to seduce Giles at his apartment. When Buffy comes to the rescue, Jenny jumps out the window. Giles explains to Buffy that he ran with a bad crowd when he was young, and they used Eyghon as a temporary high – directing him in and out of each other's bodies.
But one friend died, then later the woman who killed Phillip, and now it seems the rest of the group will die, too. Buffy goes to the deserted costume shop to try to defend Ethan against Eyghon/Jenny, but he knocks her out, ties her up and puts the mark of Eyghon on her. He then pours acid on his own tattoo so that Eyghon will take Buffy instead of him. Jenny enters, completely demonic, and Buffy breaks free. Angel enters suddenly and chokes Jenny until she loses consciousness, whereupon Eyghon moves to the nearest dead body: that of Angel, a vampire – as Willow had planned. Two demons fight for control in Angel's body, and Eyghon is destroyed. Jenny returns to normal, but Ethan escapes.
"The Dark Age" had an audience of 3.7 million households on its original airing.[1]
Arc significance[edit]
- This is the first episode to establish details about Giles' more "wild" youth, parts of which will occasionally return to haunt him throughout the series. This is also the first appearance of Giles' apartment, which will become the Scoobies' headquarters in Season 4.
- In the third season episode "Enemies", Giles tells Xander his monetary expense (a bribe to Willy) can be reimbursed with a receipt; this may be a joke. In this second season episode, however, Buffy has to spend her own money to remove the tattoo inflicted on her by Ethan.
- This episode provides another example of Willow assuming control of the Scoobies whilst Buffy and Giles are preoccupied or incapable of leading the group. Willow will assume leadership of the gang in several future episodes, and most prominently between seasons five and six.
- Due to the events of this episode, Giles' and Jenny's relationship will never be the same again.
- Angel saves Jenny's life, only for Angelus to kill her later in the same season.
- Second appearance of Ethan Rayne, who was introduced in "Halloween" and will next appear in "Band Candy".
- Buffy and Willow play their game again in the Season Eight comic "Anywhere but Here": their fantasies have Buffy approached by Daniel Craig while lying on the beach, and Willow trapped with Tina Fey in a cabin during a snowstorm; Willow having come out as a lesbian since this episode.
- Eyghon reappears in the Angel & Faith comic series set during Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Nine, in which it finally claims control of Ethan's and Giles's bodies as well as those of some Slayers, and is bonded to the final piece of Giles's soul that Angel needs to bring Giles back to life. Eyghon is able to take control of Spike now that it is on Earth in its true body, however it is unable to control Angel as there is three beings in his body at the time: Angel, Angelus and the rest of Giles's soul. Eyghon is finally slain when its true form is decapitated by Angel, and the last piece of Giles's soul is absorbed into Angel's body.
- Xander predicts in this episode that Willow will become a Watcher when it is in fact Xander who will later train to become a Watcher.

The staff of the SEC has reported that 1,504 advisers to hedge funds and other private funds have registered with the agency since the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act mandated such registration.
A total of 11,002 investment advisers now are SEC-registered, with 37% advising hedge funds and other private funds. Assets under management at SEC-registered advisers has risen about $5.7 trillion, or 13%, even though the number of advisers fell about 15% as the Dodd-Frank Act required mid-sized advisers to move from federal to state oversight.

At the end of last week, the Assembly Committee on Appropriations advanced the remaining bill regarding hydraulic fracturing, SB 4, to the Assembly Floor. After delaying the first scheduled vote on the bill, Appropriations advanced the bill without amendment. This is surprising given the pushback from Governor Brown's administration, lawmakers and industry regarding the late addition of acid well stimulation treatments to the scope of the bill. Originally drafting the bill to regulate only fracking, Senator Fran Pavley added acid well stimulation to SB 4 after it passed in the Senate. The failure to remove acid well stimulation from the scope of the bill may prove fatal on the Floor or ultimately provoke the Governor to veto the bill if it passes the Legislature.
Since advancing to the floor, SB 4 has been amended to require the development of a reporting website and groundwater modeling criteria. This is a change from the prior version, which allowed the use of an alternative website such as FracFocus for public disclosure. The amended bill would also require the State Water Resources Control Board to develop groundwater modeling criteria for wells subject to fracking or acid well stimulation that penetrate groundwater with a beneficial use.

Kenyans say they control mall, attackers say no
NAIROBI, Kenya Islamic militants who staged a deadly attack on a Kenya mall said Tuesday hostages are alive and their fighters are "still holding their ground," contradicting Kenyan officials' claims that they are in a final push.
Explosions rang from the mall in the morning and at midday, and gunfire could also be heard, despite the Kenyan government assurances of success. Fresh smoke was seen rising from the upscale Westgate Mall in Nairobi.
As the crisis continued, Nairobi's city morgue braced for the arrival of a large number of bodies of people killed, an official said.
Earlier, the Kenyan Red Cross confirmed at least 62 people had been killed, but spokesman Abbas Gullet said it was still not known how many more may be dead inside the building.
"It is certainly known that there are more casualties," he said.
A government official told The Associated Press that the morgue was preparing for up to an additional 60 bodies, though the official didn't know an exact count. The government official insisted on anonymity so he would not face retribution from government officials.
On the fourth day of fighting at the Westgate mall, three Kenyan soldiers died and eight others were receiving treatment, the Kenyan Interior Ministry said Tuesday.
A soldier emerging from the mall told the AP "we are finished," but then conceded that government forces were still trying to secure the entire interior.
He said troops were checking for explosives, and to see if they could find any survivors in certain areas including the mall's movie theater and casino. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he said he was under orders not to speak to media.
The al-Qaida-linked attackers gave a conflicting account of the mall conflict, using social media.
"There are countless number of dead bodies still scattered inside the mall, and the mujahideen are still holding their ground," said the Somali rebel group al-Shabab in a Twitter message considered to be genuine.
It added that the hostages are "still alive looking quite disconcerted but, nevertheless, alive."
But Kenyan police urged people to ignore "enemy... propaganda" and assured that the defense forces were continuing to "neutralize" the terrorist threat.
"Troops now in mop up operations in the building, " the police said on Twitter.
A U.S. Embassy vehicle, identifiable by its numbered diplomatic license plate, arrived at the morgue on Tuesday. American officials have not confirmed the deaths of any U.S. citizens in the mall attack, but it appeared possible the Americans who visited the morgue - likely security officials with an agency like the FBI - could have been seeking information about one of the bodies inside.
Al-Shabab, whose name means "The Youth" in Arabic, said the mall attack was in retribution for Kenyan forces' 2011 push into neighboring Somalia. African Union forces pushed the al-Qaida-affiliated group out of Somalia's capital in 2011.
"You could have avoided all this and lived your lives with relative safety," the group Tweeted Tuesday. "Remove your forces from our country and peace will come."

Re: S2 9.2c - for liveaboard - thoughts?
Sure, but I'd still be interested in paying close to asking price IF it came with a slip at that marina. I'd love to live there, but I'm not willing to quit working in Vancouver, or move up to Squamish for however many months I'd have to be there to be considered for membership.
I've talked with Ben(the OP) about a few boats as he's been looking at.
26k asking is not a big deal when the per year difference on moorage could be 6000$...
Likewise boats for sale in Spruce. They often sell at asking since slips there are so coveted.

Copa Telmex
Granollers-Martin Find Immediate Success
Buenos Aires, Argentina
by ATP Staff|
First-time Spanish team Marcel Granollers and Alberto Martin found immediate success on the ATP World Tour, defeating Nicolas Almagro and Santiago Ventura 6-3, 5-7, 10-8 in the Copa Telmex final in Buenos Aires.
Granollers captured his second straight title after winning his first ATP World Tour doubles title last week at Costa do Sauipe (w/Robredo). Martin, who improves to 3-3 in ATP World Tour doubles finals, was appearing in his first final since winning the title in Amersfoort in 2006 (w/Vicente).
Martin said: "It was a good match. It is great to play with Marcel. He is such a good player. We are happy to have won the title in our first tournament together. It is actually funny the way we decided to play here in Buenos Aires. I was originally going to play with Daniel Gimeno-Traver, but minutes before the final cut we were one out of the draw. Ivan Navarro, that was supposed to play with Marcel, and is very good friend of Daniel, proposed to change the teams so we all could get in. The rest is history."
Granollers said: "It feels good to win a second ATP World Tour doubles title in back-to-back weeks. Beto (Martin) is a good friend of mine and it was fun to play with him this week."

Few are the arenas in which auto-tuning makes everything better like a fresh coat of paint and the smell of freshly-baked cinnamon rolls. Put it in the hands of YouTube's The Gregory Brothers, and even Wednesday night's dishwater-dull presidential debate between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama goes from dosing poor Jim Lehrer into a coma, to a head-nodding jam laced with WIN. Romney's admission to his fondness for Big Bird aside, the Republican candidate was sometimes all over the place.
It borders on inexplicable. How is it that, seemingly from top to bottom, the oft-vaunted "conservative Republican base" speaks collectively with roughly all of the forethought and eloquence of Michael Scott? In the very same weekend that former GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum told the Washington, D.C. Values Voter Summit that "We will never have the elite smart people on our side, because they believe they should have the power to tell you what to do," a California rodeo announcer somehow found a way he could come across so much worse, Jezebel reported Monday.
There's no asking much more of Gabrielle Giffords than what she's been put through since January 2011. Last night, she made not merely her home state, not merely the Democratic Party, but her country proud. About 21 months removed from nearly being assassinated during a public appearance, former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) took the stage at Thursday night's Democratic National Convention finale and opened the proceedings by leading the crowd in the Pledge of Allegiance. The former congresswoman was led to the stage by friend, colleague and DNC chairperson Rep.
It's that time of the year where political parties will begin making their full throttle push to have their party respective become the next President of the United States. Last night, Republican candidate Mitt Romney accepted the nomination to become the next President in grand fashion saying: "Mr. Chairman, delegates. I accept your nomination for President of the United States of America. I do so with humility, deeply moved by the trust you have placed in me. It is a great honor.
As Indiana State Police released the names of the five dead who perished when wind collapsed the Indiana State Fairgrounds during a Sugarland performance Aug. 13, first-hand footage of the tragedy hit YouTube. Four victims died at the scene: Alina Bigjohny, 23, Fort Wayne; Glenn Goodrich, 49, Indianapolis; Christina Santiago, 29, Chicago; and Tammy Vandam, 42, Wanatah, Ind.. The fifth victim, 51-year-old Nathan Byrd of Indianapolis, died Sunday at Methodist Hospital. Another 45 were hospitalized with unspecified injuries, and Indiana State Police Sergreant Dave Bursten told media further fatalities could still mount.
Just in case the question ever crossed your mind: yes, porn consumers do in fact have standards. Representatives from adult entertainment giant Vivid Entertainment confirmed following Casey Anthony's acquittal this past week on first-degree murder and child-abuse charges that they had offered an undisclosed amount for the accused murderess to make a porno. Imagine Vivid's surprise when fans let them know in no uncertain terms that they'd never watch it, though Anthony is not bad-looking.
Are you one of the many who would welcome HLN's Nancy Grace having her jaw wired shut? If so, welcome to your personal Hell. In the wake of the shocking verdict in Casey Anthony's nationally publicized murder trial, Grace will be spending upwards of 25 hours of HLN airtime this coming weekend analyzing and pontificating about the case, the trial and the aftermath. Anthony was found not-guilty July 5 of first-degree murder, aggravated manslaughter of a child and aggravated child abuse in the June 2008 death and disappearance of her two-year-old daughter Caylee Anthony.

Execution puts spotlight on moratorium effort
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – The execution of Stanley Tookie
Williams has put the spotlight on a campaign by opponents of
the death penalty for state legislation that would temporarily
halt capital punishment in California.
Assemblyman Paul Koretz, a Democrat, said on Tuesday he
would renew a push for a bill he introduced earlier this year
that calls for the state to stop executing condemned prisoners
until January 1, 2009, so a committee can investigate whether
California's justice system sends innocent people to death row.
"It's targeted at the accuracy of the system," Koretz said
of his bill. "If you don't execute people for a couple of
years, I don't see the great harm, but you could prevent an
innocent person from being executed."
Koretz predicted that Democrats, who control California's
legislature, in the state Assembly would rally behind his bill
following Williams' execution, and provide enough votes to
overcome expected opposition by minority Republicans.
Williams was the 12th person executed since California
reinstated the death penalty in 1977.
Koretz's bill will have a legislative hearing a week ahead
of the state's next scheduled execution, but the lawmaker said
the bill was unlikely to influence the state's planned
execution of Clarence Ray Allen.
Allen, 75, is scheduled to die on January 17, 2006, for
ordering three murders while serving a life-sentence in prison
for arranging the murder of his son's girlfriend, a potential
witness against him in a burglary case.

Does your board exercise proper oversight over cybersecurity risks? Directors and officers have fiduciary duties to protect the assets of their companies. This obligation covers digital assets, including corporate information, applications, and networks. The scope of the obligation is defined, in part, by laws and regulations that impose specific privacy and security obligations on companies.
The threats to digital assets are real, and companies are increasingly grappling with how best to manage network infiltrations, denial-of-service attacks, and other cyber-threats. In this context, a new report found that while boards are engaged in risk management, the link between cybersecurity risks and enterprise risk management remains poorly understood.
The report, How Boards & Senior Executives are Managing Cyber Risks, is based on a survey conducted by Carnegie Mellon CyLab. This is the third survey that CyLab has conducted and its findings reveal that, for many companies, boards do not have sufficient information to properly oversee the management of cybersecurity risks.
CyLab identified the following areas as specifically lacking:
"Reviewing budgets, security program assessments, and top-level policies;"
"assigning roles and responsibilities for privacy and security;"
"and receiving regular reports on breaches and IT risks."
The report also noted that little attention is focused on risks related to vendor management and observed:
"the low response for vendor management is concerning because it indicates that the privacy and security of data at cloud and software providers and outsource vendors are receiving little oversight."
"the low response for vendor management is concerning because it indicates that the privacy and security of data at cloud and software providers and outsource vendors are receiving little oversight."
In comparing findings across industries, CyLab found that the financial sector has some of the strongest privacy and security practices in place, while energy and utilities had some of the weakest governance practices.
The report concludes with a set of recommendations to boards and senior management. These recommendations include:
Data breaches, and loss of user data and other sensitive information, pose significant legal and reputational risks for companies. All companies should ensure that they have the systems and policies in place to manage risks to digital assets. These systems need to be regularly evaluated and properly resourced: this requires top-level attention from senior management and the board.

continued Douglas later said that he has already been working with local representatives to push for funding for these local theaters to make the conversion.
"I have been in contact with all of our local representatives and federal senators on the matter," Douglas said. "There were some that did not even know that this was going on."
Trouble in the 'Hollywood'
In a letter to Sen. Chuck Schumer, Douglas wrote that for the Hollywood Theater in Au Sable Forks, they were looking at a conversion price tag for their two screens of around $160,000.
"This expense will be unreachable for them as a small business," Douglas said. "Cory and Sierra (Hanf, owners) used a portion of the $200,000 matching grant secured by the town through the Office of Community Renewal to restore their marquee and other needed improvements. (These funds) to improve their theater and help to revitalize our downtown would now be undermined."
"If we do not convert, we will not be able to show any movies at all," Sierra Hanf said. "By the end of next year, there will be no more 35mm film. It will all be digital. We have been told we have to convert or we will have no movies at all."
Hanf said that the general thought among movie companies that she has talked to is that the digital transition will come after the 2013 summer movie season, but before the holiday movie season.
"It is estimated that the change will be fully done by November of 2013," she said. "Then, there will be no choice, you don't have digital abilities, you have to close."
Hanf said that they are hoping that the grant will be able to help them convert.
"If we do not get this grant, there will not be enough time to get another one," she said. "People have asked us about getting a loan, but a theater like ours would never be able to make that loan back unless we started charging what the big theaters do, and we will not do that."

FOX Sports Exclusive
Indiana never looked more vulnerable
BLOOMINGTON, Ind.
This was not how the night was supposed to end.
This was Senior Night at Assembly Hall, a night that was supposed to be filled with tear-jerking speeches from Indiana's three seniors, with mothers holding bouquets and players holding framed jerseys, and most of all with a Hoosiers win in their final home game of the season, securing an outright Big Ten regular-season title and then cutting down the nets.
That last part happened, though not in the way the Indiana faithful would have liked.
Instead, things ended like this: With Ohio State up eight with the seconds melting away, and with plenty of Indiana fans already having left the deflated arena. Indiana's Cody Zeller tried for a late desperation basket, but Ohio State's backup point guard, Shannon Scott, picked the 7-footer's pocket for his fourth steal of the game. Then the Buckeyes toyed with the Hoosiers, dribbling and passing all over the court as Indiana flailed for a foul.
And with that, the sure-thing No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA tournament slipped and fell on its face on its home court, losing 67-58 and taking all those predicted brackets for March and throwing them out the door.
Adding to the surreal scene, Indiana players climbed up a ladder and cut down the nets after the game as part of Senior Night. This was their final home game of the season, and they will finish at least tied for the top of the Big Ten. So, technically, even though they'd just lost, they were still the Big Ten regular-season champions. It was a strange moment.
"We earned the right to cut down the nets," senior Jordan Hulls said. "We would have liked to have won our last game at Assembly Hall, so it's bittersweet."
But it fits right in to this season's strange theme.
As soon as you think you have things figured out this season, things change. Thought Indiana was all but assured of its first outright regular-season title since 1993? Then the Hoosiers lose to Matta's Buckeyes, the team that's finished at the top of the Big Ten for three straight seasons.
Thought fast-paced Indiana was one of the few exciting offensive-oriented teams left in college basketball? Then the Hoosiers had their lowest-scoring game of the season, 24 points below their average.
Thought Indiana was the closest thing we had to a dominant team in this season of Top 25 parity? Then, in the course of a week, Minnesota and Ohio State handed us two distinct blueprints for beating the Hoosiers: Use your muscular big man to shove Cody Zeller around the paint on both sides of the floor (Minnesota), or create havoc on defense by guarding the Hoosiers tight and always, always rushing back in transition (Ohio State).
FOXIEST FANSCheck out the FOXiest fans from arenas across the country and tweet us your photo.
"It's hard to figure out college basketball this year," Ohio State coach Thad Matta said Tuesday night.
Perhaps we just need to throw up our hands and assume there's no predicting what's going to happen this season.
At least a dozen teams could win the national title. Indiana's still one of them; you can consider 14th-ranked Ohio State one, too, after Tuesday night's win. Heck, there are six teams that could upset Indiana's primacy and win the Big Ten tournament next week. The only sure thing in college basketball this year is that the Big Ten is the toughest, bloodiest, brutal-est conference in the land, and that every team that makes it out of the Big Ten and into the tourney deserves a gold star.
The Hoosiers never have looked more vulnerable this season than they do now. Losses at Illinois and at Minnesota could be excused, since road games in conference play are always tough. (Ask Michigan about its visit to Happy Valley.) But then a loss at home, on Senior Night, to a team they had manhandled by 13 a month before, makes you wonder: Could this Hoosiers team, which has spent more time atop the AP Top 25 Poll than any other team this season, be less than advertised?
Straight from the tip on Tuesday, Indiana just seemed off. Less than a minute into the game, point guard Yogi Ferrell drove into the paint and ran into a double team, which left Zeller wide open under the basket. It was a perfect opportunity for an arena-shaking alley-oop. But Ferrell lofted a floater that was somewhere between a shot and a lob, and Zeller jumped then backed off the ball, which bounced off the rim and into the hands of Ohio State's Amir Williams.
That sort of stuff went on all night. Zeller scored 17 points, but it was an underwhelming night for him, with only four rebounds and not very physical play. Victor Oladipo, who has been Indiana's go-to man in the clutch all year, got in foul trouble early and never found a rhythm. His first shot of the game was when he hit a 3 in the first minute of the second half. Oladipo ended with seven points before he fouled out (compared to a career-high 26 points in their first game against Ohio State).
"They played smarter, and that caught us," Indiana coach Tom Crean said.
Where Ohio State played aggressive defense and netted eight steals, Indiana only had two steals. Where Indiana struggled with one of its greatest strengths, its fast-break offense — in which the Hoosiers scored only two points — Ohio State ran a nice transition game of its own, netting 14 points on fast breaks. Where Indiana wanted to run and gun and show why it's the most efficient offense in the nation, Ohio State controlled the pace of this Big Ten-style game.
Of course, all of this focuses on what Indiana did poorly over what Ohio State did right. Which isn't fair, because Ohio State looked as good as it has all season, especially when you consider it was on the road against its toughest opponent.
"We're in the same position as last year," said Deshaun Thomas, Ohio State's leading scorer with 18 points. "We came in, we made a big run. Nobody expected we would go to the Final Four last year. We have the potential and the talent to do that. The team to watch out for is Ohio State."
That might be a bit of irrational post-victory exuberance from a team that a few weeks ago lost to Wisconsin by 26. But there's some truth to it. They're limited without a dominant big man, but the Buckeyes have a bunch of guys with Final Four experience, the best on-ball defender in the country in Aaron Craft, and an elite scorer in Thomas. Who knows? If the Buckeyes win the Big Ten tournament, you could make a case that Ohio State is a one-seed in the NCAA tournament.
"We knew we had to create more havoc defensively, challenge shots better (than the first game)," Matta said. "I didn't think we were overly physical tonight. You just gotta guard them. They're a great basketball team. When you make mistakes, they kill ya."
But Ohio State didn't make many mistakes. So we no longer have a heartwarming ending to the Indiana's regular season, with the old blueblood winning the conference outright at Senior Night and completing Crean's turnaround of this program. We no longer have a team in Indiana that seems a hair above the rest of the pack. We no longer have a slam-dunk No. 1 seed leading into March Madness.
How fitting, really.
