The Riverfront Times: You live in Indiana. Are you familiar with the St. Louis interpretation of the term "hoosier"?
Kent Bottenfield: No, I'm not. Do I want to know?
No. What motivated you to scrap the traditional arrangement on "Amazing Grace?"
It's a great song, but you sing it so many times that you can go through the motions. Having a new arrangement makes you listen to the words and brings the message out. I understand some people don't like it, but there's a reason behind it.
Your record label, IBB, stands for Intentional Base on Balls, because, as you say, "We all need to have an intentional walk." Does this rule apply to Barry Bonds, who has had more than his share of intentional walks in the 21st century?
It's really a call to Christians, and I don't know where Barry is on that subject.
Do you feel that Christian-rock icon Michael W. Smith should be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland?
Wow. It just depends on how people view it. For his genre, he's probably the top and has brought it to where it is today. So, in that sense, yes. But he obviously doesn't reach the heights of the Rolling Stones in terms of popularity and sales.
If the Cardinals fail to win their first World Series in 22 years, will it be because it is God's will and that He has a plan that will yield greater good for Cardinal Nation than a ticker-tape parade?
I don't view it that way, and I never viewed it that way when I was on the field. The only thing God is concerned about is how an individual handles himself. If they win or not -- I don't believe He even deals with that. He's more concerned with the heart than the actions. -- Mike Seely

Laconia (4-9) beat Inter-Lakes 6-3 to close out the year.
Laconia has one more regular season game remaining to improve their position for the post season. Currently sitting in the 17th spot with eight wins and seven losses, a win could vault them two spots into the 15th seed. A loss could cause them to miss the playoffs altogether. The Sachems have dropped the last four games, losing to Inter-Lakes and Prospect Mountain last week. Laconia travels to Berlin for the regular season finale.
Belmont is in the same boat as the Sachems, sitting at 8-7 with one game remaining today at Gilford. The Red Raiders need a win to secure a spot in the post season. A loss could eliminate them from contention. Belmont lost to Farmington on Wednesday 7-2.
Gilford (7-8) has an outside shot of reaching the post season. They must beat Belmont today at home. The Golden Eagles beat Franklin 13-1 on Wednesday.
Winnisquam finished the regulars season by falling to Newfound 2-0 and dropping to 12-4. The Bears are currently in the fifth seed and await the rest of the division to complete their regular season schedule.
Winnisquam softball finished the year with a 13-4 record this week, beating Newfound 13-0. The Bears, like the baseball team, wait for the rest of the regular season to play out to see where they will be seeded. Currently they are the five seed.
Gilford hosts Belmont today to finish the regular season. The 10-5 Golden Eagles fell to Franklin on Wednesday 9-0. Gilford will qualify for the post season once the regular season ends.
Belmont travels to Gilford today looking to end the season at and even .500. The Red Raiders hold the 16th spot in the NHIAA Division III standings. Today's game will not influence their spot in the standings.
Laconia is 4-11 heading into the final game of the season against Berlin. The Sachems lost to Winnisquam 14-3 on Tuesday.
Girls' lacrosse

Round bales for horses
Round bales can be a great source of feed for horses, but you should have at least 3 horses to
eat it up fast enough so as to avoid spoilage. Once opened you need to feed a round bale in about a week you should also keep the bale out of the rain and mud.
Horses often like the taste and texture of round bales if done right the hay in round bales is a bit softer than squares and is a bit wetter making it softer to chew on and more tasty as well.

Millom boy, 9, asthma death tribute
Last updated at 13:47, Tuesday, 22 July 2014
MORE than £1,200 has been raised for an asthma department in memory of a nine-year-old boy from Millom who died of an asthma attack.
Two youngsters who organised a 70-strong sponsored walk for Rylan Cosgrove on February 21, presented the £1,207 cheque to their chosen charities on July 1.
Rylan's 12-year-old pal Kyhanna Herdman and her cousin Bethany Pattinson, 13, of Devonshire Road, presented a cheque to Millom Asthma Clinic and the North-West Air Ambulance Service.
Both girls attended Black Combe Junior School with the schoolboy, who died two years ago after suffering a serious asthma attack. Miss Herdman, of Cumberland Close, said: "I'm quite proud and happy with how much we raised. I didn't think we would raise this much. I thought we would only get about £500."
She said she remembered her friend as being "funny" and "always happy".
She added: "We chose those charities because Rylan died of asthma and also because we think the air ambulance is a good cause because it helps people but isn't funded in the same way as normal ambulances.
"We're hoping to make the walk an annual thing for the same charities."

Rottenstein Law Group Now Evaluating Claims Related to Wright Conserve and Profemur Z Hip Replacement Devices
New York, March 19, 2012. The Rottenstein Law Group, which represents clients with claims stemming from the failures of defective hip replacement devices manufactured and sold by Wright Medical is now evaluating cases of those who received a Wright Conserve or Profemur Z device.
(PRWEB) March 19, 2012
The Wright Conserve devices compose a hip replacement system that involves the capping of a patient´s thigh bone with a synthetic ball and the replacement of that patient´s hip socket with a corresponding cup. Both the ball and the cup of the Wright Conserve devices are at least in part made of metal. There has been much recent media coverage of the dangers of metal-on-metal joint replacement devices, including an ongoing series of reports in the New York Times.
At the 2012 Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons held in San Francisco from February 7 to 11, moreover, at a panel presentation entitled "Metal-on-Metal Hip Replacement: Current Status and Recommendations for Patient Management," panelist Dr. Thomas Schmalzried–long known to be one of the developers of DePuy Orthopaedics´s embattled metal-on-metal ASR hip replacement system, conceded that all-metal implants should not be used. (A video of the panel presentation can be viewed at http://www.prolibraries.com/aaos/registration/player?id=30.)
The Wright Profemur Z Hip Stem was designed to be a minimally invasive hip replacement better than all previous types of implants. Instead of creating hip implants with fixed neck ("stem") lengths, Wright´s Profemur Z hip replacements use interchangeable titanium necks to equalize leg length and otherwise conserve bone mass and hasten recovery. Using multiple parts was supposed to be a leap forward in artificial joint technology, but it has not been, as evidenced by, among other things, the number of reports of adverse events received by the Australian National Joint Registry, which concluded in a comprehensive 2009 report that the devices have a failure rate of 11.2%.
Accordingly, the Rottenstein Law Group is imploring anyone with a friend or relative who has received a hip replacement device to reach out to that person and recommend that he or she consult a physician immediately and then speak to a qualified personal injury lawyer.
The Rottenstein Law Group maintains a Wright Profemur Z Lawsuit Information Page on their website. The site has features that allow for easy sharing, including links for automatic posting on Facebook and Twitter, specifically to enable visitors to spread the word about the dangers of defective medical devices.

IM Daily News ski jumping 2-9-11
Newspaper supplement
2 -- The Daily News, Iron Mountain-Kingsford, Michigan Wednesday, February 9, 2011 American Olympic jumpers to compete at Pine Mountain By RON DEUTER Sports Writer IRON MOUNTAIN -- The best of American ski jumping will be on display this weekend as an eight-man U.S. team is scheduled to compete here in what is the only international ski jumping competition in the states this season. While international ski jumpers have historically performed at a much higher level than their U.S. counterparts, American ski jumping is on the rise. Don't be surprised if someone representing this country finds his way into the top 10, or better, this weekend. A rededication to excellence has occurred in American ski jumping with the formation of the USA Ski Jumping (USASJ) in 2010. The USASJ was started by a group of supporters, with the blessing of the U.S. Ski Team, to develop and fund ski jumpers. It is the goal of the USASJ program to win another Olympic or World Championship medal within the next 14 years. A lofty goal for sure, but far from impossible. During the 2009-10 season, three different U.S. ski jumpers scored World Cup points, more than any U.S. team since 1986. At the Vancouver games last year, the average age of the ski jump medal winners was 27 years old. The average age of the men of USASJ is just over 20. Pete Frenette, Anders Johnson and Nick Alexander, who represented the U.S. at the 2010 Vancouver Games, will all be in the field here Saturday. Other Team USA jumpers here this weekend include Alex Haupt, Trevor Wert, Chris Lamb, Mike Glasder and Nick Fairall. Johnson, Haupt, Wert and Glasder (from Cary, Ill.) all have previous Pine Mountain experience. Frenette, 18, who took his first ski jumps off a K18 meter jump in Lake Placid, N.Y. at age 6, might be team USA's best threat to crack the top 10 or even land on the podium. He placed second at a Continental Cup event at Sapporo, Japan last month, taking 18th among the World Cup jumpers a week later (Continued on page three) The Daily News, Iron Mountain-Kingsford, Michigan Wednesday, February 9, 2011 -- 3 ...Top U.S. jumpers coming to Pine Mountain (Continued from page two) at the same hill -- the best U.S. World Cup finish in over seven years. This will be his first go at the Giant Pine. "I've heard (Pine Mountain) is a really fun jump where you can have some long jumps," Frenette said in an e-mail to The Daily News. "I've also heard it gets pretty windy but the competitions are always fun with huge crowds. So I'm excited to compete there. "If I have good jumps I know I can compete for a podium spot, so I'm excited to see what happens." After jumping here, Frenette will head back to Europe for some more Continental Cup events before heading to Oslo, Norway .at the end of the month where he will be the lone American male at the Ski Jumping World Championships. "Peter has had a bit of a breakthrough year and we are looking to continue his development and education as an athlete," USA Ski Jumping Coach Clint Jones said in a recent U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association press release. "He has shown that at any moment he is capable of long jumps that can compete with the best in the world." But Frenette isn't the only American who stands a chance to do well here this weekend. Johnson placed 12th at Pine Mountain during the 2005 competition. He became the youngest U.S. Olympic ski jumper in history when he made the 2006 team at age 16. Just six months removed from major knee surgery and still trying to regain his form, Johnson placed 25th in last year's one-day event. Alexander, the 2010 U.S. champion, has been a regular qualifier in the World Cup. `I've heard (Pine Mountain) is a really fun jump where you can have some long jumps.' He's spent the past few weeks training at Lake Placid. On his web site, he lists a podium in a Continental Cup as one of his three goals for the 2010-2011 season. In a blog entry on his site from a few weeks ago, Alexander talks about working with a sports psychologist over the past month. "I finally took the plunge and decided to stay focused on the sports psych part of ski jumping," he says in the blog entry. "In the past I haven't taken it seriously and I feel like it has held me back. Now that I am working consistently on mental training I feel it is already making a difference." Lamb, a native of New Hampshire, placed 25th and 30th at a Continental Cup event at Bischofshofen, Austria, two weeks ago, a competition swept by Stefan Thurnbichler. "With a 30th place on Saturday, and finishing off with a 25th place result on Sunday, I proved to myself that my level of jumping has improved greatly since last year," Lamb said on his web site following the Austria trip. While nobody knows what the weather will do Saturday and Sunday, one certainty heading into this competition is that the American jumpers are ready to put on a show on their home turf. Ron Deuter's e-mail address is firstname.lastname@example.com. 4 -- The Daily News, Iron Mountain-Kingsford, Michigan Wednesday, February 9, 2011 Theresa Peterson/Daily News Photo Huge crowd Close to 10,000 fans -- the largest crowd in several years -- packed Pine Mountain for the Saturday 2010 competition. Sustained winds of 10-20 miles per hour canceled jumping on Sunday. Manuel Fettner of Austria took first place, edging Andreas Stjernen of Norway by four points. The ski slide was completed late in 1938, and the first tournament was held in early 1939. Stefan Thurnbichler of Austria currently holds the hill record. He flew 471 feet in 2009. The Daily News, Iron Mountain-Kingsford, Michigan Wednesday, February 9, 2011 -- 5 Theresa Peterson/Daily News Photo Manuel Fettner of Austria took first place at Pine Mountain in 2010 with a jump of 463 feet. Competition was canceled on Sunday in 2010 due to high winds. 6 -- The Daily News, Iron Mountain-Kingsford, Michigan Wednesday, February 9, 2011 50 jumpers from 10 countries to participate at giant Pine Mountain By RON DEUTER Sports Writer IRON MOUNTAIN -- The 2011 Island Resort and Casino Pine Mountain Continental Cup Ski Jumping Championships will feature one of the largest and most talented fields of ski jumpers the competition has seen in a number of years. More than 50 jumpers from 10 countries are slated to compete at the two-day event. The roster includes three former Pine Mountain champions (including the current hill record holder) and the entire 2010 U.S. Olympic team. With the Continental Cup season quickly coming to a close, the stop here -- the only international ski jumping event in the United States this season -- is of crucial importance in the point standings. Eight of the top 15 athletes in the Continental Cup point standings will jump here. Leading that list is long-time Pine Mountain fan favorite Stefan Thurnbichler of Austria. Thurnbichler began February as the points leader in the Continental Cup standings. He last jumped here in 2009 when he shattered the hill record with a leap of 471 feet, finishing second overall that year. Thurnbichler won at Pine Mountain in 2008. The winner of that 2009 competition, Austria's Lukas Muller, returns to the hill this year after skipping 2010. And Sweden's Isak Grimholm, a Saturday winner in 2007, is also coming back. Grimholm is the last winner Pine Mountain has seen from a country other than Austria. Beginning with a Sunday win in 2007, Austria has not moved from the top of the podium at Pine Mountain. Other jumpers near the top of the Continental Cup standings scheduled to compete here include Austria's Mario Innauer (ninth) and Slovenia's Matjaz Pungertar (second), Rok Zima (fourth), Matic Kramarsic (sixth), Jure Sinkovec (T-14th), Dejan Judez (T-14th) and Robert Hrgota (16th). Austria, Slovenia, Germany and the United States will have eight jumpers in competition. Six Polish jumpers are scheduled to jump. Norway and Finland send three each. Czech Republic has four athletes. Two jumpers will come from Sweden, and Canada plans to send at least one person. Team USA includes 2010 Olympians Anders Johnson, Peter Frenette and Nick Alexander. Frenette, 18, placed second in a Continental Cup event at Sapporo, Japan in early January, finishing 18th at the same hill a week later in a World Cup event. He sits 30th overall in the Continental Cup (Continued on page seven) The Daily News, Iron Mountain-Kingsford, Michigan Wednesday, February 9, 2011 -- 7 Theresa Peterson/Daily News Photo Stefan Thurnbichler of Austria, who set a hill record in 2009, will compete in this year's Island Resort and Casino Pine Mountain Continental Cup Ski Jumping Championships. (Continued from page six) points standings. Also representing the U.S. is Chris Lamb, who just a few weeks ago placed 30th and 25th at a Continental Cup competition at Bischofshofen, Austria -- an event swept by Thurnbichler. The other U.S. jumpers scheduled to compete include Alex Haupt, Trevor Wert, Mike Gladsner and Nick Fairall.

Michigan Wednesday, February 9, 2011 Erickson, Rahoi selected for U.S. Ski Jumping Hall of Fame By RON DEUTER Sports Writer RED WING, Minn. -- The 2010 American Ski Jumping Hall of Fame induction ceremony included two individuals from Iron Mountain. Richard Rahoi and the late E.O. "Buck" Erickson were among 11 enshrined for their contributions to the sport. Erickson was a publicity director for the Pine Mountain Ski Jumping Tournament since its inaugural competition in 1939. He became known as "Mr. Pine Mountain" and is credited with putting this event on the international ski jumping map. For 36 years, Erickson tirelessly promoted the tournament and is responsible for bringing the first foreign ski jumping competitors to the United States. In Erickson's world, local, national and foreign ski jumpers were celebrities. As sports editor of The Iron Mountain News, he wrote one colorful story after another, focusing the attention of the American public on the elite status of the athletes who competed in this unique arena. Erickson was known as "a newspaperman's newspaperman" and in that capacity encouraged media from across the country to cover and publicize the tournaments and jumpers at Pine Mountain. As a result of his efforts, for years the Pine Mountain Ski Jump tournament attracted the largest media coverage of any competition in the United States. In 1974, Erickson was elected to the National Ski Hall of Fame in Ishpeming, in honor of "his tremendous contribution to the growth of the ski sport." He also received numerous national and international citations and awards for his commitment to championing ski jumping. Rahoi, born in Iron Mountain in 1934, was the 1953 North American Junior Champion, also claiming the Pine Mountain junior competition that year, and the U.S. National Class B champion. In 1956 he made the U.S. Olympic team and finished 51st at Cortina, Italy. Rahoi finished 44th in Lahti, Finland during the 1958 FIS World Championships and served as a captain for the U.S. Olympic team at Squaw Valley, Calif. in 1960. From 1969 through 1976, Rahoi was the USSA Central Division Junior coach. Erickson and Rahoi joined Nick Alexander, Billy Demong, Stan DuRose, Peter Frenette, Jessica Jerome, Dave Hicks, Sig Malvik, Alfred Ohrn, Larry Stone and Billy Demong as members of the 2010 induction class. Ron Deuter's e-mail address is firstname.lastname@example.com Richard Rahoi of Iron Mountain, who served as a captain for the U.S. Olympic team at Squaw Valley, Calif. in 1960, has been elected to the American Ski Jumping Hall of Fame The Daily News, Iron Mountain-Kingsford, Michigan Wednesday, February 9, 2011 -- 15 Hill records have changed hands many times IRON MOUNTAIN -- The U.S. ski jumping distance record has been shattered or matched many times on Pine Mountain since 1939. Only two jumpers have the distinction of breaking the record twice at Giant Pine Mountain -- Jumping Joe Perrault of Ishpeming and Armin Kogler of Austria. In 1949, Perrault accomplished the feat with one of the greatest performances in the history of the hill. Perrault sailed 293 and 297 feet as he outdistanced two world champions, Matt Pietikainen of Finland and Peter Hugsted of Norway. In the 1980 Pine Mountain PreOlympic tournament, Kogler broke the record of 385 feet he set in 1979 when he soared 399 feet to establish a new U.S. ski jumping distance mark. Kogler sailed 421 feet in 1979 but fell on his landing. Bob Roecker of Duluth, Minn., was the first jumper to put Pine Mountain "on the map" when he traveled 257 feet for a new distance record in the inaugural tournament of 1939. Roecker's record fell by the wayside in 1941 as Alf Engen surpassed it by 10 feet with a jump of 267 feet. Toger Tokle cracked the record in Leavenworth, Wash., with a 273-foot ride and then smashed his own standard with a 288-foot effort at Hyak, Wash. Tokle bettered his own record again in the 1942 Pine Mountain meet with a 289-footer. The new mark didn't last long as it was surpassed three times at Pine Mountain later that year. Perrault did it the first time when he sailed 293 feet. Pietikainen took the record away from Perrault with 294-footer, but Jumping Joe came back with a 297 foot effort to regain the distance crown and sweep top honors in the tournament. Gordon Wren tied the record at Steamboat Springs, Colo., in 1950 and Billy (The Kid) Olson equaled it again on Pine Mountain that same year. Although the first official 300-foot jump was not recorded until 1955, Ralph Thorsen of Kingsford leaped 315 during practice in 1948. In 1955, Rudy Maki of Ishpeming became the first jumper to hit the 300foot mark in official competition. Maki, who now resides in Iron Mountain, was the 1955 national champion. He also was a member of the 1956 and 1960 U.S. Olympic teams. Maki, a retired international ski jumping judge, is enshrined in the National Ski Hall of Fame in Ishpeming. Ansten Samuelsten was the next record-setter with a 316 foot jump at Steamboat Springs in 1951. A virtual unknown, Jim Brennan, matched that at Pine Mountain in 1960. John Balfanz, one of the more flamboyant jumpers, established a new mark in 1962 at Westby, Wis., when he leaped 317 feet. Pekka Tirkkinen of Finland tied the record later that year at Pine Mountain. The record was broken three more times before Balfanz returned it to Pine Mountain with 325 foot jump in the 1965 tournament. In 1968, Adrian Watt set another U.S. distance record at Pine Mountain when he jumped 337 feet during the Olympic tryouts. Jerry Martin, one of the most popular jumpers in the history of Giant Pine Mountain, flew a record 345 feet in the 1971 Pine Mountain competition. Austria's Gebhart Aberer put his name in the record book at Pine Mountain when he jumped 371 feet in 1978. The hill record of 459 feet was set by Masahiko Harada of Japan in the 1996 competition and was matched by Finland's Kalle Keituri in 2002. Stefan Kaiser of Austria set a hill record at 468 feet in 2006. However, he finished sixth in the competition. Then, Stefan Thurnbichler of Austria set a hill record of 471 feet in 2009, but finished second. 16 -- The Daily News, Iron Mountain-Kingsford, Michigan Wednesday, February 9, 2011 Theresa Peterson/Daily News Photo Thomas Lobben of Norway jumps during the 2010 Island Resort and Casino Pine Mountain Continental Cup Ski Jumping Championships. He finished eighth in the competition.

Nickelback's Secret Psychedelic Jam
Chad Kroeger says he wrote a song that sounds like John Lennon and it might come out on his band's next album.
Chad Kroeger mentioned this potentially fascinating song in passing at the end of a lengthy interview with Men's Health. He also talked a bit about why his band is soooooooo haaaaaated, his mindset when he writes sexual lyrics, and his relationship with his fiancée, Avril Lavigne. "If a naughty Nickelback song came on [while we were having sex], my fiancée would probably ask who it was. She'd be like, 'Who's this? This is good. I like it.'"

Syrian rebels call on world to put words to action
Saturday - 4/27/2013, 5:38am EDT
Associated Press
BEIRUT (AP) -- Syrian opposition groups called Friday for international action after the Obama administration said U.S. intelligence indicates President Bashar Assad's regime has used chemical weapons. The government likened the accusation to false U.S. claims of weapons of mass destruction used to justify the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
Washington's declaration was its strongest so far, although the administration said it was still working to pin down definitive proof -- holding back from saying Damascus had outright crossed what President Barack Obama has said would be a "red line" prompting tougher action.
The rebels accused regime forces of firing chemical agents on at least four occasions since December, killing 31 people in the worst of the attacks, and warned that world inaction would only encourage Assad to use them on a larger scale.
The Obama administration said Thursday that intelligence indicates government forces used the nerve gas sarin in two attacks.
The regime countered that it was the rebels who fired chemical weapons -- pointing to their capture of a chemical factory last year as proof of their ability to do so. On Friday, government officials repeated denials the military had used the weapons.
Both sides have used the issue to try to sway world opinion.
"The red line has been crossed, and this has now been documented by the international community. We hope the U.S. will abide by the red line set by Mr. Obama himself," Loay al-Mikdad, a spokesman for the Free Syrian Army, the umbrella group for rebel fighters, told The Associated Press.
"We need urgent action, otherwise Bashar Assad will not hesitate to use his entire chemical and unconventional weapons stockpile against the Syrian people," he said.
Most Assad opponents say the U.S. and its allies should now arm the rebels in response to regime use of chemical weapons, a step Washington has been reluctant to take for fear the weapons will end up in the hands of Islamic hard-liners. Some have urged international airstrikes against regime warplanes and rocket launchers that have wreaked havoc on rebel forces. Few, however, advocate direct international intervention on the ground.
At the White House, Obama said Friday that any use of chemical weapons by Syria would be a "game changer," though he cautioned the United States needs more evidence that Assad has used the deadly agents against his people.
He said the U.S., along with the United Nations, would seek to "gather evidence on the ground" in Syria to solidify intelligence assessments.
State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell said Friday that the U.S. is "working to establish credible and corroborative facts to build on this intelligence assessment" and to definitively say "whether or not the president's red line has been crossed."
Asked about Syria's denials, he said that "if the regime has nothing to hide, they should let the U.N. investigators in immediately so we can get to the bottom of this."
Use of chemical weapons would bring a frightening wild-card element to Syria's 2-year-old civil war, which is estimated to have already killed more than 70,000 people. Throughout the conflict, civilian casualties have been heavy as regime forces batter rebel-held towns, neighborhoods and cities with artillery, rockets and warplanes.
Still, the chemical attacks the rebels claim the regime carried out, if confirmed, would appear to be relatively small-scale and localized.
Bilal Saab, director of the Institute for Near East and Gulf Military Analysis, North America, said if the regime is behind them, it may be trying to make detection as difficult as possible and to maintain plausible deniability.
"The government may also feel that the time for full-on use of chemical weapons has not come yet. It may also be indirectly communicating with Western powers and testing their resolve," he said.
If the rebels were using them as the regime claims, it would be a "strategic blunder," given how it would taint the movement, he said, adding that one possible scenario is that they were carried out by extremists within the rebel movement.
In December, after rebels seized control of a chlorine factory in Aleppo, the government warned the opposition might be planning a chemical attack to frame the regime. To back up its claims, the state-run SANA news agency pointed to videos posted on YouTube that purported to show regime opponents experimenting with poisons on mice and rabbits. The origin of the videos was not known.
It is not clear exactly how many people have died in alleged chemical attacks because of the scarcity of credible information. The Syrian government seals off areas it controls to journalists and outside observers, making details of the attacks extremely sketchy.

I have a relative whom I am trying to help over the phone but it is very, VERY difficult making him follow verbal instructions in using his laptop without him going off and clicking on something else. Despite him having used the laptop for over three years he cannot follow simple instructions and keeps going off at a tangent He has a Pavilion G6-1352 laptop. Question: How does he access the webcam on the Pavilion other than through Skype?

Good and that is how it should be used.
compumac, however, seems to have a slight, umm, instruction problem with the relative so hence the Teamweaver installation.
Unfortunately Team-weaver can be used against the PC operator if they get an unsolicited telephone call purported to be from 'Microsoft' saying that the PC/Laptop is infected. A scam that is always going around.

Rocking the battery exerts a lifting force and only the tiniest of bending forces. Those bending loads are negligible until long after the battery has translated enough to leave the tray. It's not going anywhere.
My biggest worry in that installation would be engine vibration being transmitted directly into the dangling lead plates in the battery. That's a sure-fire way to destroy a battery.
I agree with you. Some early BMW's were solid mounted batteries and some had very small rubber bumpers for the battery to rest on. Realize that people that are doing these sort of modifications are not riding the bikes 1000's of miles a week or a month so the chance of any of this becoming an issue is slim to none.

Palace hails bomber's arrest
MANILA, Philippines—Malacañang on Saturday lauded the arrest of a suspect in Monday's Boston Marathon bombing that killed three people and injured more than 170 others.
"We're happy that the second suspect has been arrested," deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte said in an interview on state-run radio.
After door-to-door searches, US policemen cornered Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, in a boat in the Boston suburb of Watertown late on Friday.
Tsarnaev's elder brother Tamerlan, 26, was killed in an exchange of gunfire with police during a high-speed chase across Boston early on Friday.
Others detained
Valte also welcomed news that several other people had been taken into custody in connection with the two explosions that marred the marathon last Monday.
No Filipino runner was hurt in the bombings.
"It's good that they are already in custody. They are already under process of the law. And we hope that this will serve to lessen the grief that is being experienced by the families of those who have gone too soon and to the families of those who are injured and are struggling to get back on their feet, literally and figuratively, to start their lives again," she said.
President Aquino has condemned the perpetrators of the bombings and expressed sympathy with the families of the victims.
No travel advisory
Malacañang also ruled out any travel advisory to the United States following an explosion at a fertilizer plant in West, Texas, that killed at least 15 people and injured more than 160 others.
"What happened in [West], Texas, that wasn't a bombing. It was an explosion in a fertilizer plant, so it wasn't a bombing. The [Department of Foreign Affairs] hasn't mentioned anything about coming out with a travel advisory," Valte said.

Ben Harper's happy just to be here
He treasures collaborations with his musical role models
Q: Johny Cash one told me that he was a fan of Iron Maiden. Jeff Beck told me he is a big fan of the Bulgarian Women's Choir. What do you listen to that your fans might be surprised by?
A: I'm a sponge. I just went to the Adele concert three days ago and it blew my mind. The woman is exceptional -- talk about someone who will get better with age. I took my oldest daughter to Adele and all four of my kids to Sade, a great, great concert.
Q: What do you want to give people when they buy a ticket to come here you perform?
A: It's directly connected to what I wanted to give them 15 years ago. You want to serve your instinct, And the more you do it, the more people want to hear what you've done not what you're doing. If you're really in the moment, you're looking forward, creatively, and your best song is your next song. But, lo and behold, when you get to that moment where you are creating in the moment, I have to do that responsibly.
