Info about the big bend lion of february 2012.ReplyDelete
April 16, 2012
Fort Davis, TX - In February, a 6 year-old boy was attacked by a mountain lion at The Chisos Mountain Lodge.
The boy did not suffer life threatening injuries but did have severe scratches to his face and required stitches.
Since the attack, Park Rangers have been searching for the cat. Although they do believe to have found the mountain lion involved in the incident, spokesperson David Elkowitz says there is not enough DNA evidence to prove it.
Because of the cat's poor condition, he was put down by the veterinarian at the end of February. There has not been another attack since then.
More lion info:ReplyDelete
The mountain lion dragged Rivers from his mother's hand into a bush next to the walkway. The lion was standing over the young boy and had its powerful jaws locked onto Rivers' face. Hobbs reached for his hunting knife he had carried on his belt when they went hiking earlier in the day, but that was left in the room when they went to dinner. Hobbs then pulled his Spyderco Caly 3.5 folding knife from his pocket, opened the blade with one hand and stabbed the lion. The lion immediately released Rivers and ran off.
Rivers needed 17 stitches to close the wounds on his face. The Park Service eventually located what they believed to be the rogue lion and it was killed.

What all UX designers should know about login and security
The more secure you make something, the less secure it becomes. Why? Because when security is too much in the way, people will think up short-cuts, work-arounds and hacks to get the job done. As UX designers, we can (and must) do something about it. In this post, I'll try to explain the security process of digital access and what single sign-on, multi-factor and adaptive authentication mean. I'll outline the theory with a few cases, one of which is a security-related project I worked on for an insurance company.

I bought this powder off of a recommendation from a friend of mine and I love it! It controls my oil, isn't cakey or powdery on the skin and has my shade ( I'm very pale) only downsides are it can catch on dry flakes of skin ( so not good if you have dry skin) and the packaging breaks. Now the breaking may not be CG fault, I keep it in my backpack and it may break just bc it's constantly being thrown on the floor. The powder itself has never broken tho ( surprisingly ) the clasp always breaks and then eventually the lid breaks so not a big deal. Overall great powder would definetly reccomend!

This powder (so far) is my favorite! My face tends to get very oily and shiny throughout the day causing my face to look almost water wet! GROSS! This powder is the best iv used so far. You must understand that the consistency of this powder is very dusty and dry and that is because it is made to dry up that pesky oily shine your face produces over the day. I would only recommend this powder to those who suffer from oily skin! No powder can control face oil throughout an entire day BUT this powder lasts much longer than most powder on the market, which makes it great for oil control compared to other products.
The only reason why I did not give a full rating is because the packaging is very... weak. The mirror detaches from the powder plate extremely easy due to the poor plastic build. Though, the packaging has a cool look to it. Other than that, I am quite impressed with this pressed powder and would recommend it to anyone who suffers from an oily face!

First the good: I liked the texture and finish of this powder. And the color was good. When first applied I really like it as a setting powder for liquid foundation.
The bad: The packaging is a little delicate-I've only had it in my bathroom and the hinge feels loose and I really don't think it would survive my purse. The bigger problem is that it lasts about an hour before I look oily. Considering this is an oil controlling product, I figured I should grade it pretty harshly for not doing that. If you have normal skin I think this may work, but for combo or oily skin skip it. It will not do the job sufficiently for you. So I'm still on the hunt for a good oil controlling pressed powder. I went back to my HG so far, ELF HD powder-I just hate loose powder.

I love this product, I have been using it for years and it always impresses me. It was very inexpensive (8.00$ Canadian) and it works really well.
I have combination skin, I have a very oily t-zone but the rest of my face is normal. It's really hard to find a pressed powder that actually stays, and does the job, this one does it for me. When I put it on in the morning it lasts the whole day. I am very pale so my colour is the lightest, "105 Ivory". My friend who is much darker then me uses this colour as "transparent" as she think's it works great! (Seeing as it doesn't come in a transparent shade"). It does not make your makeup look caked on, it sit's lightly on top of the skin.
The pressed powder is not expensive, it's high quality and worth every penny. It comes in a variety of colours and is very light on the skin.I have been re-purchasing this product for years and I will continue to buy it.

I have been searching for a good pressed powder for awhile now. I was not really happy with the pressed powder I had been using. But I tried something new and it made me itch. So when I saw an online ad for this product, I decided to give it a try. I have extremely sensitive skin, so the fact that this powder is made especially for people with sensitive skin really appealed to me. But I decided to purchase this one instead because of the oil control. I get really oily on my cheeks, nose, and forehead. I have never really used a powder that lasted all day.
As a point of reference, I purchased this in shade 525 Buff Beige. It is a perfect match for skin. After I apply it, you can't even tell it is on my face. I apply it over my foundation and it gives me a smooth, flawless finish. This powder did not make me itch at all. It does not look cakey or unnatural on your face. If you get the right shade, you barely even notice you're wearing powder. There are a wide variety of shades available.
For me, this powder controls the oil and shine all day. I apply it once in the morning and don't have to reapply. I purchased this powder for under $6 at Walmart. This is now my go-to powder. I will repurchase again and again. I highly recommend this powder, especially to gals with very sensitive skin.
I have repurchased this powder a couple of times. But the longer I use it, the less I like it. I do not like the texture of this powder much at all. It has a odd texture. When you have it on, you can definitely tell. The color is spot on, it is the powder itself I do not like. I will not purchase again and will go back to my Rimmel Stay Matte powder which has a much lighter texture and looks much more natural.

This was an okay powder. I might or might not buy this again simply because it didn't cover my face very well, but on the flip side it did help control the shine and oil on my face. And a huge plus was the fact that it didn't make my face that icky orange color! :)

I've used this product for about three years, simply because I didn't know of any better powder to buy. I have combination skin, but it's generally more oily than dry, and I can never go more than 30 minutes without my skin looking extremely shiny. Whether I'm just using powder and minimal concealer, or using full foundation (oil control), and concealer underneath this powder, the result is the same. I'm shinier in just an hour than I would be if I had no makeup on. The one thing I did like about this powder was that the colors are very true and blend-able. It's easy to find your perfect shade. I will also say that the packaging is pretty nice for the price, it was very portable and I could carry it around with me for constant touch-ups, but for me it didn't control my oily skin at all, which is what I mainly look for in a powder.

SDSU avoids replay curse this time
Crucial review in fourth quarter turned out to be the difference in 27-25 win
"We put the (BYU controversy) behind us,'' Hoke said. "It's going to stay behind us."
Hillman's leg: SDSU freshman running back Ronnie Hillman went down with an apparent ankle injury after being lassoed down by his lower leg at the end of a 23-yard run late in the second quarter. He returned to gain 69 yards on 13 carries in the second half. Before halftime he had 122 yards on 11 carries. Hillman said after the game he's "fine."
"I just had to walk it off," he said.
Notable: AFA running back Jared Tew came out of the game with an apparent knee injury near the end of the first quarter and never returned. He entered the game as AFA's second-leading rusher with 87.3 yards per game. He finished with 16 yards on five carries… Sophomore defensive back Khalid Stevens made his first career starter in place of Preston, who suffered a head injury last week at BYU. Preston still played and led both teams with 10 tackles. Stevens had five tackles.…Last night's pregame flyover was invisible to the crowd because of overcast skies. A light rain drizzled at points during the game. .. It is the first time since 1996 that SDSU has won its first three home games in a season.

Wednesday's MLB Tip Sheet
Wednesday's MLB Tip Sheet
Wednesday's Total Plays
By Josh Jacobs
It's only the end of April but wagering on totals in baseball is already beginning to take on an identity.
Fifteen games are revving up on Wednesday's schedule and teams like Arizona (19-7, +1085) and Pittsburgh (10-15, -370) have been cash cows when wagering on the 'over'. On the other side of these trends are Milwaukee (14-11, +317) and Kansas City (11-14 -23), two clubs who have combined for a 32-17-1 record on the 'under'.
In this tip sheet, we're going to key on some handpicked contests which look to be likely candidates for a sharp total's play.
The 'Over' Plays
The Pirates have been a total bettor's best friend, leading the league with 17 'over' contests in 25 games played.
Right off the bat, Pittsburgh's 5.44 ERA (ranked worst in the majors) lends itself as a big reason for providing high scoring affairs. In 96 innings, the bullpen has floundered with a 4.78 ERA and a WHIP of 1.54.
While Pittsburgh's offense is only making contact for a .246 BA and driving in 4.4 runs per game, opponents are swinging away for a .296 BA and scoring 6.2 runs per game. Combine these simplistic numbers together and it's a surprise that most books have continued to post totals anywhere from 8½ to 9½ runs (with the exception of two games listed at a 10-run total – both went 'over').
The Pirates will be facing a Mets' team (13-11, -92) that has been notorious in the totals department. With both teams meeting six times in 2007, the 'over' was a perfect 6-0. Most books set the low mark in these six head-to-head contests at 7½ runs, while the highest was at 9½. Either way, both clubs averaged 12.8 runs per game in those six.
Pittsburgh starter Tom Gorzelanny (1-3, 8.46 ERA) is expected to toe the slab on Wednesday. Gorzelanny has surrendered as much as seven earned runs in two outings this season, with his last start resulting in only a two hitter with three runs sacrificed (but seven walks in the game did raise concern about men in scoring position).
Dating back to last September, Gorzelanny has combined for a 2-6 record with a 7.12 ERA in a total of 11 starts.
When Houston meets Arizona (19-7, +1085), the hottest team in both leagues, at 3:40 p.m. EDT, defense will once again play a large roll in whether or not bettors will reap the rewards of a totals win.
The Astros have been the team to take in low scoring affairs, building up a 17-10 record on the 'under'. Houston has gone 'over' an eight-run total only 29 percent of time this season and 'over' nine runs just 25 percent.
The Diamondbacks have been the complete opposite of its opponent. Arizona is 8-3 on the 'over' at home this season, but buyers of totals beware as a 7-5 record on the 'under' during the day has skewed high scoring results.
Arizona finished off last week with a 5-2 performance and went on to average 4.6 runs per game. The D-Backs had a huge drop off in the batting department, averaging just .228 from the plate in the last seven days (compared to their .266 BA for the season).
The biggest surprise in regards to high totals is Arizona's tight 3.03 ERA (tops in the league). Starting pitchers Brandon Webb, Dan Harren and Micah Owens have combined to assemble an impressive 14-1 record with a 2.86 ERA (Webb himself has been unhittable with a 1.98 ERA).
Take heed to the fact that Houston is batting .268 versus lefties this season, while averaging a skimp 1.4 runs per game (in 16 total games versus southpaws).
The Diamondbacks will place veteran lefty, Randy Johnson (1-1, 2.70) on the hill for this ballgame. His last start was a six-inning effort against San Diego which resulted in a 5-1 win. Johnson gave up just three hits, one run and seven strikeouts.
The 'over' is 8-2 in the last 10 head-to-head meetings in Arizona.
Going 'under'?
Ending April with the 21st worst scoring offense in the league (4.4 runs per game) and the 22nd worst ERA (4.44), the New York Yankees (14-13, -299) have truly found harmony in the lower echelon of offense and defense.
While the Yanks are producing a lackluster 4.7 runs per game versus right-handed pitchers, three runs per game versus southpaw hurlers has been counterproductive.
But New York won't have to worry about lefties with Detroit's (11-15, -828) Jeremy Bonderman (1-2, 4.28) taking the mound on Wednesday. Bonderman is 3-1-1 on the 'under' this season, he's allowed just seven hits with five runs in the last two starts and owns a 2.70 ERA in the last three games on the road (1-1 record).
Compounding the 'under' scenario in New York is at home during the night the Yankees have gone 'over' a total of 7 ½ runs three out of seven games.
When set at 9½ runs on the total, both teams have combined to averaged a success rate of 38 percent on the 'over' (42% for Detroit and 33% for the Yankees).
There's been no method to the Tigers' madness on the total as the 'over' has calculated out to a 12-12-1 record. However, in its last 10, Detroit is 5-3-2 on the 'under'.
With the Tigers' brining in five runs per game and the pitching staff surrendering a little over five runs per game, an 'over' play sounds viable. But when New York has been favored in the last 20 games, the 'under' is 15-5.
If Detroit can utilize a bullpen throwing for a 0.81 ERA in the last 10, and the Yankees continue its stall offense, the 'under' is a very plausible outcome.

Diamond Watch
By Matt Fargo
Wednesday, April 30th
Houston Astros at Arizona Diamondbacks
Randy Johnson will be making his fourth start of the season and he is coming off his first victory since June of last year. He has looked good in his return, tossing two quality games, making it seven of his last 10 dating back to last season. He will be opposed by Shawn Chacon who has been the unluckiest pitcher in baseball this year. He has tossed five quality games yet does not have a victory to show for it. The Astros have scored an average of 3.4 rpg in his five starts, scoring three runs or fewer four times.
Re: Wednesday's MLB Tip Sheet
Milwaukee (15-11) at Chicago Cubs (16-10)
The Brewers send veteran right-hander Jeff Suppan (1-0, 3.48 ERA) to the hill at Wrigley Field against the Cubs and right-hander Ryan Dempster (3-0, 2.90) in the second game of a three-game series.
Milwaukee outslugged the Cubs 10-7 in Tuesday's opener and has now alternated wins and losses in its last four games, though the Brewers are 4-1 in their last five on the road. Meanwhile, Chicago has followed a six-game winning streak by dropping four of its last five. The Cubs also had a five-game home winning streak snapped last night, but is still 9-2 in its last 11 at Wrigley.
These two teams opened the season against each other, with the Brew Crew taking two of three at Wrigley Field. Suppan notched one of those wins, allowing two runs on six hits in 6 1/3 innings on April 2 as Milwaukee rolled 8-2. Dempster got the Cubs' lone win in that series the following day, yielding two runs on three hits in six innings, prevailing 6-3. The Cubs won the season series last year 9-6, going 5-4 at home against Milwaukee.
Suppan has had solid outings in four of his five starts, but he's only managed one decision – the victory over the Cubs on April 2. Most recently, he allowed just one run on five hits in seven innings on Thursday against Philadelphia, but couldn't get any offensive or bullpen help in a 3-1 home loss.
Suppan is 6-5 with a 3.13 ERA in 17 starts against Chicago. Last year on the highway, he went just 3-9 with a 5.38 ERA, though he was 1-0 with a 1.29 ERA in two starts at Wrigley in 2007.
Along with his three wins this season, Dempster has a pair of no-decisions, including his last outing, in which he allowed three runs on four hits in seven innings as the Cubs came up short 5-3 Friday at Washington. He is 5-2 with a 2.40 ERA in 31 lifetime appearances (nine starts) against the Brewers. Before this season, Dempster hadn't started a game since the 2005 season, as he served as the Cubs' closer the past two years, notching 28 saves and a posting a 2-7 record in 66 relief appearances in 2007.
The Brewers are on streaks of 6-1 overall when Suppan starts, 7-0 when Suppan faces the N.L. Central, and 4-1 when he works on the road. On the downside, Milwaukee is 0-5 in Suppan's last five road starts against a winning team and 4-12 in the team's last 16 games on Wednesdays.
The Cubs are on runs of 15-7 overall, 7-2 at home against right-handed starters, 8-4 overall against righties and 23-8 against the N.L. Central. They're also 4-0 in Dempster's last four starts within the division.
For Milwaukee, the under is on streaks of 4-1 overall, 4-1 on the highway, 20-8-2 on the road against right-handed starters, 6-2 overall versus righties, 3-1 in Suppan's last four starts overall and 5-1 in his last six outings against the Cubs. For Chicago, the over is 9-1 in its last 10 against the N.L. Central and 4-1-1 in Dempster's last six division starts, but the under has cashed in four of the last five overall for Lou Piniella's club.
ATS ADVANTAGE: CHICAGO and UNDER
Oakland (17-11) at L.A. Angels (17-11)
The Athletics will have left-hander Dana Eveland (3-1, 2.48) toeing the slab for the third game of a four-game road trip against the American League West rival Angels, who will hand the ball to red-hot Ervin Santana (4-0, 2.97).
After getting shellacked 14-2 in Monday's series opener, the Angels came back Tuesday and rode Joe Saunders' outstanding pitching performance to a 2-0 victory. Los Angeles has alternated wins and losses in its last five games, but is 5-2 in its last seven.
Oakland is still on an 8-3 tear, going 5-2 in its last seven, and the A's have won each of their last three series.
This is the first series this season between these division rivals. Last year, Oakland narrowly edged the Angels 10-9, going 5-5 in Los Angeles. On the bright side for Los Angeles, it is 6-1 in Santana's last seven starts against the A's and 4-1 in his last five home outings against Oakland.
Eveland opened the season with two solid starts, notching a win and a no-decision while allowing a total of just one run in 13 1/3 innings. He then took a road loss at the Chicago White Sox in which he gave up four runs on five hits in 4 2/3 innings – his shortest outing of the season. But he's since bounced back with two straight wins, allowing a combined four runs on nine hits in 11 innings in wins over the Royals (7-1 at home) and Mariners (4-3 on the road).
The 24-year-old Eveland, who had just one start in five appearances for Arizona last season, is 5-5 with a 5.98 ERA in 46 career big-league appearances (11 starts).
In his last start, Santana gave up three runs on six hits in 6 1/3 innings as Los Angeles edged Detroit 4-3 on the road Friday. The lone blemish on Santana's record this year was a no-decision in a 4-3 home loss to Cleveland on April 8. Even in that outing, the right-hander allowed just two runs on six hits in six innings.
Santana has been stellar against Oakland in his career, going 7-1 with a 1.38 ERA in 10 games (nine starts). He's also 1-0 with a 1.93 ERA in two home starts this season.
The Athletics are on hot streaks of 9-4 on the road, 7-0 on the road against right-handed starters, 7-2 against winning teams and 16-7 on Wednesdays. However, Oakland is just 4-10 in its last 14 matchups against the A.L. West.
The Angels are a sterling 27-10 in Santana's last 37 home starts and are on further positive runs of 5-1 against left-handed starters, 6-2 inside the division, 6-2 with Santana going against a winning team and 19-7 when Santana battles the A.L. West.
Last night's game easily stayed under the total, continuing strong under trends in this rivalry of 37-15-2 overall and 27-9 in Los Angeles, and the under is 8-1 in Santana's nine career starts against the A's (4-1 at home). The under is also 5-0 in Eveland's five starts this season, 7-2-1 in Oakland's last 10 versus the A.L. West and 6-2 in its last eight on the road. Finally, for L.A., the under is on streaks of 8-3-2 overall, 5-1-1 at home, 6-1 against right-handed starters and 4-0 when Santana works at home.
ATS ADVANTAGE: L.A. ANGELS and UNDER
Re: Wednesday's MLB Tip Sheet
Wednesday's MLB Tip Sheet
By Brad Young
There are a couple of interesting pitching matchups on Wednesday's schedule, sometimes pitting polar opposites. The Los Angeles-Florida has a matchup between a pitcher still searching for his first victory against a hurler who is still undefeated.
However, the best pitching matchup of the day is reserved for the Oakland-Los Angeles contest. Both pitchers in that game are a combined 7-1 with ERA's under 3.00 in a key American League West meeting. Now, let's break down four games on Wednesday's schedule.
**Dodgers (Billingsley) at Marlins (Olsen)**
-Caesars Palace opened Florida as a $1.10 home 'chalk' over Los Angeles, with the total set at 8½ 'under' (minus $1.20). This National League tilt is slated to start at 7:10 p.m. ET.
-Los Angeles pitcher Chad Billingsley (0-4, 6.87 ERA) is still searching for his first victory of the season after Thursday's setback to Arizona as a $1.30 home favorite, 6-4. The 6-foot-1 hurler was reached for five runs on six hits (one home run) with two walks and 12 strikeouts over six innings.
-The combined 10 runs toppled the 8 ½-run closing total, ending back-to-back 'under' outings for the right-hander.
-Billingsley picked up a no-decision against the Marlins last year, tossing five innings while allowing three runs on six hits (one home run) with three walks and five strikeouts. The Dodgers eventually dropped that affair as a $1.32 home 'chalk,' 6-5, while the combined 11 runs went 'over' the 8 ½-point closing total.
-Florida southpaw Scott Olsen (3-0, 2.06 ERA) is off a no-decision against Milwaukee Friday despite tossing 7 1/3 innings of scoreless ball. The four-year veteran surrendered four hits with five walks.
-The Marlins eventually won that affair as a $1.50 road underdog, 3-0, while the three runs never seriously threatened the nine-run closing total. Florida has won all five of his starts this season, with the 'under' going 4-1.
-Olsen fell to Los Angeles last year as a $1.22 road underdog, 9-3, yielding three runs on five hits (one home run) with a walk and a strikeout over just one inning. The combined 12 runs eclipsed the nine-run closing total.
**Brewers (Suppan) at Cubs (Dempster)**
-Caesars Palace installed Chicago as a $1.30 home favorite over Milwaukee. There are no totals posted on Wrigley Field contests until the day of the game due to the unpredictable winds. This NL Central contest is scheduled to begin at 8:05 p.m. ET.
-Milwaukee's Jeff Suppan (1-0, 3.48 ERA) has received four consecutive no decisions after Thursday's effort against Philadelphia. The veteran right-hander went seven innings, surrendering one run on five hits (one home run) with three walks and three strikeouts.
-The Brewers ended up dropping that contest as a $1.40 home favorite, 3-1, while the combined four runs went 'under' the 10-run closing total. The 'under' is 3-1 his last four outings.
-Suppan beat Chicago April 2 as a $1.50 road underdog, 8-2, allowing two runs on six hits (two home runs) with two walks and two strikeouts over 6 1/3 innings. The combined 10 runs slithered 'over' the 9 ½-run closing total.
-Chicago hurler Ryan Dempster (3-0, 2.90 ERA) picked up a no-decision in Friday's matchup with Washington. The 30-year-old went seven innings while being reached for three runs (two earned) on four hits (one home run) with three walks and five strikeouts.
-The Cubs eventually dropped that game as a $1.25 road favorite, 5-3, while the combined eight runs went 'under' the nine-run closing total. Chicago had won his first four starts, with the 'over' going 3-0-1.
-Dempster beat the Brewers April 3 as a $1.30 home 'chalk,' 6-3, yielding two runs (one earned) on three hits with two walks and five strikeouts over six innings. The combined nine runs landed directly on the closing total.
**Blue Jays (McGowan) at Red Sox (Matsuzaka)**
-Caesars Palace lists Boston as a $1.80 home 'chalk' over Toronto, with the total set at 9½ 'under' (minus $1.20). This American League East matchup is scheduled to start at 7:05 p.m. ET.
-Toronto's Dustin McGowan (1-2, 4.18 ERA) heads to the hill for the first time since Thursday's setback to Tampa Bay as a $1.00 road underdog, 5-3. The Georgia native lasted four innings, yielding five runs (four earned) on four hits with seven walks and six strikeouts.
-The combined eight runs failed to eclipse the eight-run closing total. The Blue Jays are 1-4 when McGowan is pitching, with the 'under' going 4-0-1.
-The 6-foot-3 right-hander went 1-1 versus Boston last year in two starts, going a combined 14 innings while allowing seven runs on 13 hits (three home runs) with two walks and 13 strikeouts. The Blue Jays fell as a $2.00 road underdog, 9-4, while prevailing as a home 'pick,' 6-1.
-Boston righty Daisuke Matsuzaka (4-0, 3.14 ERA) continued his winning ways after beating Texas April 18 as a $2.20 home 'chalk,' 11-3. The Japanese native was tagged for three runs on five hits (one home run) with two walks and four strikeouts over 5 1/3 innings.
-The combined 14 runs toppled the 10-run closing total, helping the 'over' cash his second consecutive contest. The Red Sox have won all five of Matsuzaka's starts.
-The 27-year-old went 3-1 against the Blue Jays last year in four starts, going a combined 24 1/3 innings while surrendering 14 runs on 27 hits (four home runs) with nine walks and 23 strikeouts. Boston prevailed as a $1.65 road favorite, 9-3, as a $2.20 home 'chalk,' 9-4, and as a $2.00 home favorite, 13-10, while losing as a $1.55 road 'chalk,' 2-1. The 'over' was 3-1 during those four games.
**Athletics (Eveland) at Angels (Santana)**
-Caesars Palace opened Los Angeles as a $1.55 home favorite over Oakland, with the total listed at nine 'under' (minus $1.20). This AL West game is scheduled to start at 10:05 p.m. ET.
-Oakland left-hander Dana Eveland (3-1, 2.48 ERA) is coming off back-to-back victories after slipping past Seattle Friday as a $1.00 road underdog, 4-3. The four-year veteran went 5 1/3 innings, yielding three runs on six hits with a walk and three strikeouts.
-The combined seven runs failed to eclipse the 8 ½-run closing total, helping the 'under' improve to 5-0 when he's pitching.
-Eveland has not started against the Angels the past few years.
-Los Angeles counters with Ervin Santana (4-0, 2.97 ERA), who is off Friday's victory over Detroit as a $1.00 road underdog, 4-3. The Dominican Republic native was reached for three runs on six hits (one home run) with two walks and four strikeouts over 6 1/3 innings.
-The combined seven runs went 'under' the 10 ½-run closing total, helping the 'under' improve to 4-1 when he's on the mound.
-Santana beat the Athletics last season as a $1.45 home 'chalk,' 9-5, tossing 6 1/3 innings of scoreless ball on two hits with five walks and four strikeouts. The combined 14 runs went 'over' the 9 ½-run closing total.

The astronaut that faced a near-death situation hundreds of miles above earth was in Albuquerque Saturday to share his "out of this world" experiences.
You may remember Luca Parmitano, the Italian astronaut who came close to drowning in space after more than a liter of water leaked into his helmet.
Almost one year after the incident he spoke about his adventures at the New Mexico museum of natural history and science.
He says that one thing he learned from that experience is that fear could be used as a tool if you don't allow yourself to panic.
"The one thing that goes through your head instead of focusing on the problem, you focus on the solution and think of what the next steps are in order to save your life"
Parmitano spent 6 months in the international space station.
NASA officials say they still don't know what caused the water to leak.

The series lasted for 97 issues, a respectable run by modern standards, from 1978 to 1986. It was canceled during DC's first [[RetCon mass relaunch]] (after the ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths) but the ''Action Comics'' series then became the new Superman teamup book for a while.Notable events from the series:* The ultimate Superman[=/=][[Franchise/TheFlash Flash]] race (to the very End of Time) in issues #1-2.* The introduction of ComicBook/AmbushBug, first as a recurring villain and then as guest star himself;* The introduction of major Superman foe Mongul (a ComicBook/{{Thanos}} CaptainErsatz, even co-created by Thanos' creator.)* Two teamups with Comicbook/SwampThing, one of them written by Creator/AlanMoore;* [[Franchise/MastersOfTheUniverse He-Man]], with the introduction of the Prince Adam identity.* The introduction of [[Literature/MiracleMonday Superwoman]] (as her own character and not an identity for ComicBook/LoisLane.)* Two team up stories with... Clark Kent?* Similarly, a team up with the original ComicBook/{{Superboy}} (eg. [[TimeTravel himself!]])* A Team Up with SantaClaus (AllJustADream... OrWasItADream?)* The formal introduction of the ComicBook/GlobalGuardians (from the WesternAnimation/SuperFriends comic) into [[Franchise/TheDCU the DC Universe]];* The introduction of ComicBook/{{Superboy}} Prime (not yet an insane menace.)The'' [[Comicbook/TeenTitans New Teen Titans]]'' also launched in this series, but in an insert story where Superman was not involved.As part of their [[ComicBook/{{New 52}} 2011 relaunch]], the series was brought back this time under the name ''DC Universe Presents''. It is an anthology series, with each arc featuring a different DC character(s).----!!Tropes in DC Comics Present include:* DependingOnTheWriter: Most of the stories were OK, but some had Superman acting way out of character ex. in his fight with ComicBook/MartianManhunter.** Lampshaded in ComicBook/TheSpectre issue (#29)- the Spectre calls Superman on his unusually brash behavior in the previous few issues. ** The series had no regular writer or artist, resulting in the style of each issue varying wildly. YMMV on whether that was a good or bad thing.* TheJoyOfX (the "Whatever Happened To …" backups)** The crossover with (the space-based) ComicBook/{{Starman}} was basically a wrap-up for his canceled series (in the Anthology series Adventure Comics) -and it featured Mongul too. In fact, given it was drawn by Creator/JimStarlin, it could be considered a homage to Starlin's work on Marvel Comic's [[ComicBook/CaptainMarVell Captain Marvel]].)* PlotTailoredToTheParty: [[StoryBreakerTeamUp Given how powerful Superman is]] (specially Pre-Crisis), some of the stories had to get very creative to justify his needing other heroes' help or being able to fight him.* StandAloneEpisode: The original series did not have much continuity between issues. Of course, comics were different back then, and the StoryArc and {{Decompressed Comic}}s were much rarer.** There were exceptions, like the three-issue story that introduced Mongul and Warworld (costarring ComicBook/MartianManhunter, ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} and ComicBook/TheSpectre) and the two-part story involving Superman's SecretKeeper Pete Ross (back when he was white) co-starring the ComicBook/{{Legion of Super-Heroes}} and... Superboy?)*** Also, a two-parter where Mxyzptlk and Mr. Mind teamed up to torment Superman and [[ComicBook/{{Shazam}} Captain Marvel]].* TeamUpSeries: Superman teams up with guest stars.----

Hunt for ex-officer goes on amid Calif. snowstorm
As a result, all LAPD officers have been required to work in pairs to ensure "a greater likelihood of coming out on top if there is an ambush," Albanese said. "We have no officers alone right now."
In Big Bear Lake on Friday, residents were on edge about the manhunt even as ski slopes remained open.
"A lot of people are frightened by it," said Dennis Pitner. "A lot of people are at home locked in their houses and probably won't come out for a couple more days, maybe even longer."
Associated Press writers contributing to this report include Michael Blood and John Antczak in Los Angeles and Julie Watson in San Diego.

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Timothy J. Cole, MD (Medical College of Virginia at Virginia Commonwealth University)
Description: This book provides essential or core material (with emphasis on common thoracic diseases) that radiology residents and practicing radiologists must master for clinical practice.
Purpose: The purpose is to provide a curriculum of the most important requisites in thoracic radiology to benefit residents at any level, fellows in allied clinical fields, and the practicing radiologist. These worthy objectives are satisfied.
Audience: This is an excellent book for not only the first and second rotations on a chest radiology service, but also to serve as a primary reference for board exam review. It is perfect for radiology residents of all levels, particularly first year and fourth year as a board review. It will be beneficial to fellows in thoracic surgery, pulmonary medicine, and critical care. The practicing radiologist will find this to be an excellent review and a primer for new material. I will use this to guide my teaching efforts and as a reference for a core curriculum.
Features: It includes information on imaging methods, basic anatomy, cardinal radiographic signs, and information on all commonly encountered thoracic processes. Numerous tables and boxes summarize clinical features, pathology, and radiographic signs as a form of review and reinforcement of important points. Outstanding features include the focus on common thoracic problems, excellent photography, and the table and box format to reinforce important information. There are no shortcomings.
Assessment: This is an outstanding contribution to radiology literature. The information covered is appropriate, accurate, and well presented in a concise fashion. It will be most useful for radiology residents throughout the training program and as a review for board exams. I plan to institute this book as required reading for first year residents, as it provides a core curriculum of thoracic radiology.

The Henry County Arts and Crafts Guild's 9th Annual Show will take place Saturday, Sept. 13 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The new location for this year's show is the Henry County Fairgrounds 4-H Center, U.S. 421 in New Castle.
On Dec. 13, 2006, in Naples, Fla., a brain aneurysm cut short the life of 35-year old Brandon Browning, devastating his close-knit Henry County family.
What the family did in the traumatic hours following his death was nothing short of heroic. Their unselfish decision to donate his organs gave hope to three other families whose loved ones were living on borrowed time.
On Sunday, Sept. 7 two of the three recipients will join Browning's family and friends in a "Celebration of Life" to honor Brandon.

located along the buried cables for emergency use (i.e. in case of a nuclear attack when commercial power sources have been destroyed). Operation of Sanguine will be on a continuous basis. The Navy expects Sanguine to use 20 to 30 million watts of power, which can be compared to the average amount of power needed to run a town of 20,000 inhabitants.
The first serious criticism of Sanguine's feasibility was made by University of Wisconsin professors Alwyn Scott and Michael McClintock, and Professor Albert Biggs of the University of Kansas. They said it would take approximately two hours to send a simple 12-letter message by Sanguine and that such a time lag would make the system worthless. They also claimed that the system could be easily jammed and that thunderstorms or the explosion of hydrogen bombs would block it with interference.
A National Academy of Sciences Ad Hoc Panel on Sanguine was formed to investigate these charges. The panel consisted of five distinguished scientists in the field of electromagnetics and concluded in a report issued in April, 1972, that "the results of the test transmissions made so far strongly suggest that the Sanguine system contemplated by the Navy would work substantially as they anticipate." However, the panel was careful to explain that their report was not conclusive and referred only to the technical aspects of Sanguine. The panel did not address itself to the environmental or economic implications of the proposed system and warned that "the implications of a major design error would be serious."
"The panel does not comment on the desirability of a Sanguine system, nor on its feasibility in the economic or political sense," the report said. The scientists did not consider questions on ecological effects, buried pipe corrosion, electric currents induced into long wires and metal fences, mitigation of telephone, radio and TV interference, site-selection criteria, or alternative ways of solving the operational problem for which Sanguine was proposed.
One of the panel members, Dr. Charles Harrison, an applied physicist at the Atomic Energy Commission's Sandia Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico, resigned in protest a week before the report was made public. In a separate report, Harrison claimed the Navy was trying to railroad Sanguine through Congress and filed a separate report stating "there is considerable evidence that Sanguine will not work as an efficient means of communicating with U.S. submarines worldwide. If it does work, it may take 100 times more power than the Navy estimates and cost billions instead of the Navy's estimated $750 million."
Harrison's report was reviewed by Dr. Ronald King, a professor of applied physics at Harvard University, who concurred with his findings.
Sen. Gaylor Nelson, D-Wisc., said that if Dr. Harrison is correct "Sanguine would require the construction of at least six of the largest power generators ever built in the United States, and this much power dispersed into the Sanguine antenna could turn northern Wisconsin into an environmental no-man's land."
THE INITIAL PLANNING FOR SANGUINE took place between 1958 and 1963 during some of the peak years of the Cold War. It was "better to be dead than red," and you could always find a bumper sticker to remind you of this fact. The John Birch Society had its heyday, and successful Birchers managed to get Mark Twain expelled from high school English courses. The Russians had sent up their first Sputnik and apparently shot ahead of us in the "race for space." Vice President Richard M. Nixon became the man who could stand up to Khrushchev, and billboards allover the country showed him with his finger in Khrushchev's face.
Then came the Cuban Missile Crisis. Nuclear war seemed imminent and those who could afford it were seriously considering building bomb shelters, stocking up on canned foods and doing anything else that might be necessary to survive the impending catastrophe. It may all seem far removed from the situation today, with Brezhnev and Nixon arm-in-arm, but Sanguine was conceived in the political atmosphere of those tense and fearful years.
However, Sanguine did not surface in the public eye until 1969. Plans to build the system in Wisconsin were announced July 1, 1968, but not until a year later did the public become aware of it. A Governor's Ad Hoc Committee to Evaluate Sanguine Problems was set up immediately in response to public interest. The chairman of the Committee was Dr. Robert M. Bock, dean of the Graduate School of the University of Wisconsin. In a telephone interview he explained the Navy's initial silence.
"The Navy did not advertise before the fact; they advertised when a citizen's group found out about it and generated the first publicity," Bock said. "The Navy's strategy was obviously to move in a series of steps, each one of which looked relatively harmless, but when taken together would put Sanguine at a point of no-return. In other words, they could've moved ahead to a point where they had made enough commitments and gone far enough where they could use the argument that 'well, you can't waste all that investment.'"
One fear Bock expressed was that Sanguine, although promoted as a relatively low power system, might, when the Navy had gone far enough, be increased greatly in power with the argument that "it doesn't work, but we've got too much invested in it now turn back." If this occurred it would probably be necessary to build a huge power plant to fuel Sanguine. One has only to look at what has happened in recent years to the Four Corners region of Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and Utah to understand why this is of such crucial concern. The Four Corners region was once noted for its beautiful clear skies and was a place where astronomers would go to study the heavens. Because of an immense electrical power plant that was built there in 1969, it is now one of most polluted areas of the country.
But one shouldn't jump to conclusions. The Navy insists that Sanguine will not be built unless it can be made environmentally compatible. Still one should

Nature's Head, very interesting.
I checked it out and agree with you on the port-a-potty. I use one only once and that was enough, and didnt like emptying it, what a pain. For more of a higher use toilet I would look at the natures head. Sure beats a holding tank and pump outs. For my very low use the Pett works the best and for about a $100 it really works. With the Pett you just remove the double bag and seal the bag. You can throw it away in any garbage, do to it is not bio-waste anymore; the special power takes care of that. If its not used there is nothing to do. I can also remove the Pett and use it at home in emergencies or take camping or ashore. The natures head would also work well in cabins and outbuildings. Thanks for sharing that. I will keep that one in my files.

Parent Tot
Our Parent Tot classes are designed for children ages four months to 30 months. The 30-minute class has a 6:1 student-to-teacher ratio. This fun and foundational time for parents and babies covers water exploration, breath control, water movement, and safety skills. The use of songs and games helps children feel safe while discovering the foundations of swimming and our warm water (92 degrees) makes a wonderful environment for swimming beginnings!
At Sea Otter Swim Lessons we believe that infant swimming increases water comfort and provides a strong foundation for safety skills and stroke techniques. Participating in Parent Tot classes can be a special bonding experience with your child, while setting the important example of a healthy attitude about the water.
30-minute parent/tot lessons: $80
Prices are based on a four-week month and will be prorated for the number of lessons offered in the month.
Call 916-660-9492 to register.
Watch our Parent Tot video to learn more!
Diaper Policy:
We require that children ages three and younger follow our diaper policy (potty trained or not) when swimming in our pool.
Children younger than three years old: Must wear two diapers, one disposable swim diaper and one non-disposable cloth swim diaper (even if potty trained).
Three to four years old: Fully potty-trained swimmers must wear an approved non-disposable swim diaper. If your swimmer is not fully potty trained, regardless of age, they must wear a disposable swim diaper and a non-disposable cloth swim diaper.
Our approved swim diapers may be purchased year round in our onsite retail shop and seasonally at local retailers (i.e.: Babies R Us). Children ages three and younger who are not wearing an approved swim diaper will not be permitted to enter to pool.
These policies are in place to help protect children and prevent the spread of Recreational Water Illnesses (RWI) caused by bacteria such as E. coli.
If you have any doubt, please have your child wear an approved diaper.
The Placer County Health Department requires that all persons who have had diarrhea within the past 14 days stay out of the pool water. Diarrhea is the main cause of health risk in a swimming pool.
Thank you for helping keep Sea Otter safe and clean!

Whether you are 19 or 90 we have instruction that's right for you! Many adults think it's too late to learn to swim, but that's simply not true! You can learn to enjoy the water and be mobile in it at any age. No matter your background or fears, we can help! Our adult lessons are available in private, semi-private, and seasonally in group classes.
Statistics in the U.S. (Gallup Poll, 1998)
- 46 percent of American adults are afraid of water over their heads in a pool.
- 64 percent are afraid in deep, open water.
- 39 percent are afraid to put their heads under water.
Most adults are embarrassed and/or feel ashamed that they have not learned to swim. Sharing this information helps them feel less alone.
Our instructors are trained in overcoming fear for adult swimmers. Our training includes a comfort assessment, goal sheets, comfort drills, and physical support. It is largely based on the book, "Conquer Your Fear of Water," by Melon Dash.
Learn to Swim
This class is designed to introduce the inexperienced or fearful adult to the water. The objective of this course is to help adults become more comfortable in the water and enjoy it safely. Students will learn breath control, relaxation, floating, and swimming movement in the shallow and deep water. As they build confidence, students will learn proper kicking and body position for front and back swimming. Freestyle, back crawl, elementary backstroke, and basic safety skills will be refined as students become more comfortable in the pool.
Adult Swim Refinement Class
This class is designed for the more experienced swimmer. Objectives in the course will be to work on proper timing, technique, and stroke refinement in order to achieve more ease, efficiency, power, and endurance. Students will focus on refining their basic strokes so that they may be able to swim over longer distances. Students will work on more advanced diving progressions, turns at the wall, and safety skills.

There is an imperative need to educate people on the bane of glaucoma, said glaucoma specialist in L.V. Prasad Eye Institute Pradeep Reddy.
Speaking after flagging off a 'Glaucoma Walk' organised to mark the launch of World Glaucoma Awareness Week from March 9 to March 15, Dr. Reddy said glaucoma was a condition of increased pressure within the eyeball, causing gradual loss of sight.
"Glaucoma is a complicated disease in which damage to the optic nerve leads to progressive, irreversible vision loss. Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness," he said, adding that as many as six crore people across the world were afflicted with this ailment in 2013, while 75 lakh people lost their eye sight. In India alone, 1.10 crore people are afflicted by it and nearly 15 lakh people had lost sight.
He said it develops slowly and sometimes without noticeable sight loss for many years.
Most people who have open-angle glaucoma feel fine and do not notice a change in their vision at first because the initial loss of vision was of side or peripheral vision, and the visual acuity or sharpness of vision was maintained until late in the disease, he said, adding that by the time a patient is aware of vision loss, the disease is usually quite advanced. Vision loss from glaucoma is not reversible with treatment, even with surgery, he warned.
Dr. Reddy said as part of the week-long awareness drive, L.P. Prasad Eye Institute at Tadigadapa would host a 'Public Forum' to clear doubts in the minds of the public about this ailment.

Importers pay high duty rates on many common consumer household items, creating significant additional costs. Many importers do not realize the full duty cost of their imported goods and have not considered whether they are actually paying more than necessary. Importers may want to consider using proven duty minimization strategies such as tariff classification analysis, drawbacks and refunds and remission to reduce duty cost and improve cash flow.
Unlike corporate income taxes, the costs associated with customs duties can be difficult to identify and quantify. Customs duties do not stand out on financial statements because they are generally included in the cost of goods manufactured and sold.
Opportunities for significant duty savings may also come from free trade agreements, product recalls and warranty reimbursements, along with decisions by Canadian and international courts. Further, recent Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) rulings and Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) decisions on consumer goods can provide duty saving opportunities.
Companies may be able to reduce duty costs by taking advantage of the following opportunities.
Trade agreements and tariff classification Companies can take advantage of many trade agreements to help reduce or eliminate duty altogether on most goods. Canadian importers frequently use the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the Generalized Preferential Tariff (GPT), which covers imports from several lesser-developed countries. KPMG can help identify opportunities and establish a program to take advantage of trade agreements that meets CBSA requirements on rules of origin and record keeping.
Each product a company imports must be classified upon entry into Canada, which drives duty rates and preferential treatment eligibility. By reviewing a company's products, KPMG can determine whether a company is declaring the appropriate classifications and whether duty rates can be reduced by correcting the classifications applied.
Product recall Consumers' increased focus on safety has triggered greater government interest in ensuring that imported products are safe for Canadians. This change in attitude towards safety is generating more recalls of products that are deemed to be unsafe. If a company has imported a product that was later recalled, there may have an opportunity to recover the customs duties paid on such recalled products.
Warranties Importers often seek compensation for the necessary repairs through a manufacturer's warranty provided by the foreign vendor. However, these costs to the importer can result in large payments for repairs that reduce the value of the goods that have been imported. If a company has made such payments, it may be able to use duty refund regulations to alleviate some costs associated with inferior and defective goods.
We can help The KPMG Trade & Customs group has the expertise and resources to fully and properly advise Canadian importers and exporters in customs and related matters. We offer a wide variety of services including customs and international trade planning, compliance reviews, system analysis and design recommendations, NAFTA certification, tariff classification reviews, duty relief and recovery applications and assistance with exports. Our consultants are a part of KPMG's Global Trade & Customs practice with 260 professionals located in 60 countries around the world.
Our group is well positioned to provide customs services to multinational companies carrying on business internationally. Our understanding of international trade regulations and procedures in key markets around the globe, together with our extensive experience in effective and efficient business processes, can help find practical solutions designed to improve a company's bottom line.
We will review a company's imports to determine the potential for recovering duty paid to the CBSA by the company. KPMG's reviews are unobtrusive and require minimal use of the company's resources. These Duty Recovery Reviews help determine whether the potential for duty refunds exists. Our reviews are also designed to help clients identify compliance issues that may exist within their company.
