This is for work. I bought the laptop 2 year ago and for the last several months, the battery lasts less than 30 minutes (when fully charged) I have bought the battery extender and surviving more than a couple of hours with that. I highly recommend crrying one if you need the extra juice.
Battery was purchased as replacement for original. NOW, it won't power the M4. Once it's unplugged (M4 battery monitor says 100% charged), the computer just shuts down.
It's the best battery for my computer as it is the only battery for my computer. Nonetheless it keeps it active and lasts for a lot longer than what people are saying about it - though, I do not doubt their claims. If you run your laptop in a high-performance power scheme off of the battery then your battery will, of course, die. If you implement a power-saving plan, however, your battery will live up to both of it's claims: 3.5-4.5 hours of power, and a very long life. I've had mine now for nine months and the battery is in perfect condition. I'm here to price a second battery for longer life. All in all, in being the only primary battery for my Satellite R25-3513, it is the best and the worst. Though 4.5 hours is an admittedly very short amount of time, I still could not expect much more from such a small package to power a computer. -k-
This battery is the pits. When I bought my tablet notebook16 months ago, I was impressed but not with the battery.Three months before my warranty expired, my battery expired as well. I received another one 2 weeks later. Now my 2nd battery has expired after only six months and 14 days. This time I will have to buy it myself for $107. Come on now Toshiba get a better battery for my R15. Your profits should be more in selling lap tops than in selling batteries. This is the only battery I can buy for my notebook. Why!! because that's the way you made it.

One state lawmaker has come up with his own way to address obesity in South Carolina.
Rep. Bakari Sellers, D-Bamberg, launched Healthy March earlier this week — a website designed to educate the public how to slim down and raise money for the Harvest Hope Food Bank.
"I wanted to start the campaign … about how we can become healthy," Sellers said.
"We want to raise a couple thousand dollars. That can go a long way to helping the Harvest Hope Food Bank."
In February, Sellers sparred with Gov. Nikki Haley on Twitter about her obesity initiative that would prohibit people on food stamps from buying unhealthy items like soda and chips. South Carolina needs permission from the federal government to implement that program.
"This is acknowledging something that should have been acknowledged a long time ago," Haley said in February when she announced her plan. "South Carolina is now in the business of doing things about the problems we have in our state and making them better."
Sellers said he doesn't think it will work.
"I don't think it tackles the real issues – cost and accessibility to these healthy items," he said.
About one-third of South Carolinians are considered obese.

A dispute that started three years ago when environmentalists accused an Eastern Shore chicken farm and one of the nation's largest poultry companies of polluting a stream that ultimately flows to the Chesapeake Bay comes to a head Tuesday in a Baltimore federal courtroom.
The trial, expected to last up to three weeks, begins in the Waterkeeper Alliance's lawsuit against Berlin farmers Alan and Kristin Hudson and Perdue Farms, the Salisbury-based company for whom the Hudsons raised birds.
The legal struggle is being tracked by environmentalists, farmers and the poultry industry, as the Waterkeeper group tries to hold a poultry company legally responsible for the first time for pollution caused by one of its contract growers.
"This could be the landmark case that changes how we do business when it comes to producing our meat,'' said Tom Jones, president of the Assateague Coastal Trust, a Berlin-based environmental group that helped bring the suit. "This is a national issue, and it goes beyond just chickens; it goes to cattle, hogs and other poultry operations."
"We feel like it's a lawsuit against all of us," said Tom Super, spokesman for the National Chicken Council, who contended a ruling against the Hudsons and Perdue would set "a dangerous precedent."
A preliminary ruling in the case denied Perdue's bid to be excused, making it at least potentially liable if the court rules the farm polluted the water.
Much is at stake as well for the New York-based Waterkeeper Alliance and its lawyers, the environmental law clinic of the University of Maryland law school.
Judge William M. Nickerson, who is to preside at the trial, expressed some skepticism earlier this year about the environmental group's evidence that the farm was the source of high levels of fecal coliform bacteria found three years ago in a drainage ditch that runs by the Hudsons' chicken houses.
The judge went even further, though, noting he could order the environmental group to pay the Hudsons' and even Perdue's legal expenses if he found no violation. Those costs could reach into the hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars.
Supporters of both sides have engaged in a public-relations battle, through press releases, rallies, websites and videos. Farm groups and Perdue portrayed the Hudsons as victims of a "radical environmental group" out to destroy modern agriculture.
Lawyers for both the Hudsons and the Waterkeeper Alliance issued brief statements ahead of the trial saying they look forward to having their day in court. Perdue spokeswoman Julie DeYoung went further, though, declaring it "ironic" that the lawsuit targets "one of the most environmentally progressive poultry companies" in the country.
DeYoung said in her emailed statement that farmers Alan and Kristin Hudson face possible bankruptcy and could wind up as "collateral damage in the Waterkeepers' attack on the poultry industry."
The Assateague Coastal Trust and the Waterkeeper Alliance didn't set out to drive the Hudsons out of business or even to target Perdue, Jones said. They are concerned with cleaning up the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries, he said, and believe the Eastern Shore's concentration of chickens is part of the problem.
Three years ago, while flying over the lower Shore, the groups' representatives spied a pile of what they thought was chicken manure, with water trickling from the pile into a nearby drainage ditch. Samples taken downstream from the farm detected high levels of fecal coliform, indicating the water was fouled with animal waste.
The activists released the photos publicly and sent the farm and Perdue letters threatening to sue if they didn't stop the pollution. When inspectors for the Maryland Department of the Environment checked the farm, though, they declared that the pile was treated sewage sludge from Ocean City, not chicken manure. The Hudsons were ordered to move it back from the ditch and cover it, and later were cited for improper storage of the material. But the state closed its investigation without ever finding the source of the pollution in the ditch, saying it could have come from wildlife or somewhere else.
Lawyers for the Hudsons and Perdue have argued that the Waterkeepers have no evidence, either through photographs or witnesses, of chicken manure washing off the farm. They also contend that if any pollution in the ditch came from the farm, it must have come from 66 cows the Hudsons also raise.
The UM environmental law clinic, in its pretrial filings, has laid out a circumstantial case, arguing that the pollution had to come from the Hudson farm, and at least some of it came from the 80,000 chickens kept in two long houses near the ditch. Photos submitted to the court show large ventilation fans used to cool the chicken houses that are encrusted with brownish debris. Other photos show a shallow swale between the houses that appears to funnel rainfall into a corrugated pipe that empties into the ditch.
Environmentalists have long argued that so-called "factory farms" are major sources of water pollution because hundreds and even thousands of chickens, hogs or cattle are raised in close quarters, without adequate measures to keep the massive amounts of waste generated from washing into nearby streams.
Federal and state governments have tightened regulation of large-scale animal farms, requiring many to get pollution discharge permits and take precautions to prevent fertilizer from washing into nearby streams.

SMA Solar profit triples, sees weak Europe demand
REUTERS - SMA Solar (S92G.DE), Germany's No.1 solar company, posted slightly lower than expected operating earnings for the first quarter, confirming its margins would narrow this year due to increased competition in the market for solar inverters.

"The SMA managing board anticipates falling demand in many European markets. It is too soon to tell whether the photovoltaic markets in America and Asia can compensate for this slowdown," it said in a statement on Thursday.

Tyler Perry, the director of the wildly popular "Madea" films, is mourning his own matriarch.
The filmmaker announced his mother Maxine Perry's death on the "Messages" page of his official website Tuesday.
"In Loving Memory/ Willie Maxine Perry/February 12, 1945 to December 8, 2009/ Thank you for all your prayers," the post reads next to a picture of Perry and his mother taken at the "Madea's Family Reunion" premiere in 2006.

Originally written on Fox Sports West | Last updated 8/25/13
SEATTLE (AP) -- Jered Weaver gave up just three hits in eight strong innings, Kole Calhoun added a two-run homer and the Los Angeles Angels completed a three-game sweep with a 7-1 win over the Seattle Mariners on Sunday. The Angels gave Weaver plenty of run support by coming through in clutch situations. The Angels first seven runs were scored with two outs, including Calhoun's homer, a two-run triple by Chris Nelson and an RBI triple from Peter Bourjos. Weaver (8-7) continued the Angels pitching dominance in the three-game series, where they allowed two runs. His only mistake was giving up a solo home run to Dustin Ackley with one-out in the third inning on a 3-2 pitch. But Weaver followed by retiring 15 of the next 16 batters. He struck out eight, but wasn't given the chance at his first complete game since August 2012.

Top Gear drives the fastest Ferrari ever
The F12 Berlinetta has 730bhp, gets to 62mph in 3.1secs and hits 211mph. Hold on tight...
Posted: 02 Jan 2013
The world tilts. The warm dawn sun, so peachy and recently risen, sinks back below the parapet; the trees slant, the horizon angles and nothing is the same any more. This twisted perspective isn't a commentary on the impact the new Ferrari F12 Berlinetta has had on the planet itself, so much as the fact I've just driven one, gently, carefully onto the historic banked circuit at Monza.
This is not a place to drive fast. Not because it's early and the extensive parkland within which Monza sits currently echoes to the sound of nothing more than the footfalls of joggers and squirrels, nor because a heavy forest of green is slowly reclaiming this place, tendrils of ivy creeping inexorably down the steep concrete. I don't doubt that the orchestral V12 would find favour amongst all who heard its 8,700rpm dawn chorus - be they man or beast - nor that the F12's technologically advanced underpinnings could cope with running at speed high on these mossy slopes.

Varsity girls' soccer against Harmon has not been rescheduled at this time. The Lady Bobcats' season opener against Ottawa on March 3 was also postponed and still has not been rescheduled.
Bonner Springs has not rescheduled Tuesday's athletic events as of press time, but only one sport was washed out.

Help! Trying to make the best of a bad situation
My Father had someone build him a WFO. After some investigating I came to the conclusion that it was created with a major flaw - no insulation.
Thanks to this forum, I have been reading as much as I can over the last couple of days and I am trying to make improvement to the current design. I know there are few options but I hope this is not a lost cause.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
First the design...
The Oven was created on a cement slab of about 5-6 inches thick. The fire brick was laid with mortar directly on the slab. The bricks were joined with a high temp premixed glue. The dome was constructed directly on the fire brick bed. Once again the joints on the inside of the dome are being held together with the high temp glue, the larger gaps to the outside of the dome are filled with mortar.
Once the dome was completed it was covered with 2" of mortar.
Currently the dome is exposed (phew!) and this will allow me to insulate the dome. I purchased locally in Toronto a 1" ceramic blanket that I plan on placing directly on top of the dome. I also bought 1 bag (4 cubic feet) of vermiculite (I will probably need more) that I plan on placing on top of the blanket. I am not sure if I can place it as is or if I should use some type of mix configuration. Once this is done, I will ask them to continue to close off the oven.
As for the oven floor, I realize that the floor will not maintain heat in its current state. I am trying to figure out the best solution.
I can think of two options....
1) insulate under the concrete slab. This may help a little but my limited research suggests that this might not be that helpful.
2) purchase 2" insulating board and place it above the current firebrick and then place another course of fire brick on top. Cutting the firebrick to fit perfectly might be a problem but I think I will be able to manage. I also realize that I will be eliminating aprox. 4-5 inches of height. I think the oven can easily accommodate this without causing a problem.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Oh, I almost forgot... What is the best way to secure the insulating blanket to the dome? I see some people use chicken wire. What other methods are there?
Re: Help! Trying to make the best of a bad situation
Insulation under your slab will only help slightly, if you have a high dome oven the raised floor with the cal-sil board is the way to go. Cutting firebricks is not that hard with a wet saw. A combination of blanket and vermiculite is the standard dome covering, and yes, chicken wire helps keep the blanket in place, and gives the vermiculite concrete something more to grab on to.
Good luck, keep us posted.
Re: Help! Trying to make the best of a bad situation
Sam, how much height within the oven do you have to work with? I agree, raising the floor is likely your best option. Cutting the fire brick to fit precisely should not be too difficult.
Re: Help! Trying to make the best of a bad situation
It sounds like insulating the dome is not a problem - I used baling wire to hold the blanket in place, then covered the dome with chicken wire for the vermiculite. The floor is your ugly. If you can go vertical, option 2 sounds best to me. If it's a squeeze - you may get away with splits for the brick.
Also, I would try and sue the dude for being and idiot or for trying to impersonate someone that knows what the hell they are doing! You are in Canada so I have no clue as to what the law is all a boot. :)
Re: Help! Trying to make the best of a bad situation
I am not sure of the dome height. I will try to visit my parents in the morning to measure and take some pictures. If I were to guess...about 24 inches.
I was leaning towards loose vermiculite. Should I change this to a vermiculite and portland mix?
Re: Help! Trying to make the best of a bad situation
WOW! While I was composing - 2 others chimed in, you are in good hands.
Re: Help! Trying to make the best of a bad situation
Just for a point of reference for what you are trying to avoid, my father also has an uninsulated floor placed on a concrete slab with an uninsulated dome. His oven is able to be heated to pizza temps, but it take 2-3 hours vs about an hour for mine. During those 2-3 hours he has to feed the oven quite a bit of wood. Incidentally, his vent is from the top of the dome rather than over the opening as most use here. His dome is (I think) 46" and he needs the extra room because he has to keep a very big fire. All that said, his pizza is very good and was enough to inspire me to build my oven. I believe the dome insulation (and avoiding a vent in the dome) are the most important steps. If you can also insulate under the floor bricks as well you are golden.
Re: Help! Trying to make the best of a bad situation
onething to keep in mind when adding board and brick to floor... is door going to be high enough? and if dome isnt covered yet would it be possible to relocated vent to arch opening?
Re: Help! Trying to make the best of a bad situation
Can you lift the slab/oven off the stand with a forklift, then pour a new concrete slab, insulate it with some ceramic board, then set the old slab/oven on top. It would give you a lot of mass to heat but it would work.. Then you would insulate the dome like normal..

The Voice
Jon Peter Lewis of Midas Whale Talks His Time on American Idol vs. The Voice
Some viewers may have been too busy laughing and tapping their toes during folk duo Midas Whale's performance on The Voice Season 4 blind auditions to notice a familiar face. Jon Peter Lewis, who makes up half of the group (in addition to Ryan Hayes), actually made it to the Top 8 on American Idol Season 3.
Now the singer is back with a new look and ready to try a whole new sound and style. The duo's rendition of Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues" earned them a four-chair turn from the coaches before they landed on Team Adam Levine.
Wetpaint Entertainment got a chance to chat with JPL on a conference call the day after his audition aired where he talked about his experiences on both shows and this new chapter in his life.
"I was hesitant to audition for The Voice having been through a reality singing competition before, but something my experience has taught me is that it's a phenomenal platform," Jon told us. "And I liked the idea of doing something new. Something that wasn't really about me, but about a duo."
And thus far, Jon has been impressed with his treatment on The Voice.
"So far what I love about The Voice is the way that they treat their contestants," he continued. "There's a very supportive atmosphere here for contestants. You don't have to stress out about getting in front of a judge who might ridicule you for millions of people to watch. It's an atmosphere that I think is very conducive for good music."
This time around, Jon hopes to put the spotlight on this new venture rather than on himself. And this duo is definitely new. In fact, Jon and Ryan only met a few years ago when Ryan was creating a folk/rock opera.
But they're in it for the long haul. When asked what he hopes to accomplish this time, Jon replied, "To win! I would love to accomplish that."
We'll see what we can do.
What did you think of Midas Whale? Tell us below!

IN JULY, the WHO finally gets its new director-general, Gro Harlem Brundtland. After a decade in which the UN organisation has seriously lost the plot, Norway's former prime minister will have her work cut out if she is to help it regain both authority and political clout.
For more than two decades, the WHO has been fiddling while Rome burnt. As health problems have grown more complex worldwide and government-run health services have collapsed across Africa and much of Asia, the WHO responded with motherhood sentiments that no one could gainsay (health is a right for all, let's cure everything, and so on).
What the organisation has signally failed to do is provide poor countries with the facts and advice they need to turn the sentiments into action plans.
Its statistics on death rates, for instance, are a mess because no one has analysed or questioned the figures provided by ...

WEIRD and wonderful things will be happening in Bristol next week. Parents and children will be turning water into "cherryade", converting old halfpennies into "gold", and making miraculously smooth sauces. It's all happening at Bristol's interactive science museum, The Exploratory, which is staging a nine-day festival of Chemistry Magic.
In a hands-on experiment called "the alchemist's dream" an old copper coin is dipped in a solution of sodium zincate containing a strip of metallic zinc. An electrochemical reaction coats the coin with zinc, says science officer Bridget Holligan, making it look like silver. Warming the coin on a hotplate then causes the copper to migrate into the zinc, giving the coin a glistering gold lustre. Holligan will also demonstrate how to turn water into cherryade by adding alkali to water laced with the indicator phenolphthalein, which turns the water a vivid pink.
The sauce experiment will emphasise the importance of ...

It's been 15 days since my last post! I've been buried beneath a huge pile of crap called life and can't seem to get out!
Each summer break I make these grand plans to get so much done. Clean out the pantry, clean the kitchen cabinets, clean the girls closets and drawers, organize my office, wipe down the walls, paint the baseboards, you know because I'm going to have so much free time when they're home! What in the world did I drink that has made me so delusional and how do I end up drinking it each year? When they're home I have no time to myself! Instead of getting all of those things done that I put off and put off I find myself sleeping in, sitting around the pool, going to the beach once or twice a week, seeing an afternoon movie, playing referee, barking at them to clean their room, driving one or the other here or there and then falling into a big heap on the couch around midnight tired from a day full of doing "nothing"!
I love having my girls home. I love the freedom that summer brings. I love not getting up early. I love not fighting with them to do their homework. I really do love it all but each year I find myself ready for them to go back to school so I can resume some semblance of routine.
I've decidied I'm going revel in the last 25 days of summer break, preferably with a drink in my hand, because the times I have to just enjoy the simple pleasure of childhood is quickly slipping between my fingers!
Here's a brief look at why I've gotten nothing done all summer and it also serves as a reminder that I have a truly blessed life, wonderful children and an incredible husband that makes it all happen!
7-15 teenagers can almost always be found here swimming, eating and breaking something!
We have our friends and their kids over for cookouts and pool parties. This was a not so friendly game of King of the Hill, kids against adults. The adults lost but that because those little rug-rats play dirty. I took a kick to the jaw and had my top pulled off!
We had friends come for a visit and enjoyed a hike at a local state park.
We've been to the beach countless times
I've cleaned up multiple kitchen messes!
We've had one birthday party and the other is just around the corner.
I've washed the dog
I've also enjoyed some great times with my friends
and have done most of it with a drink in my hand. Sad, I know but sometimes a girl just needs a little "Mommy juice"!
I'll be hosting a give away with csnstores.com, watch for that soon!

Hada del Café coffee is available in a medium, dark or espresso roast, no numbers no flavours, no bitter backlash, just three roasts to suit all tastes, excellent coffee as it should be.
Medium Roast
Well-balanced coffee with medium brightness and a fantastic hint of fruitiness. A perfect all-day coffee.

Injured fullback Craig Heyward was suspended without pay for the rest of the season yesterday by New Orleans Saints coach Jim Mora, who said the move had nothing to do with pending assault charges brought by two women.
"He has been suspended for the rest of this season for a series of violations of club policy," Mora said. "I would like to say it had absolutely nothing to do with any off-the-field activities he might have been involved in."

A forensic pathologist hired by Russell Long's defense testified Friday that Long and Jessica Adkins' infant daughter died from blunt head trauma and classified the death as homicide.
It wasn't clear what Dr. Jonathan Arden's testimony added to the case because he agreed with the findings of Dr. Teresa Campbell, the pathologist who performed Kaylie Trinity Adkins' autopsy two years ago.
It could be that Arden's opinion was meant to sway jurors into believing Adkins was more responsible in Kaylie's death than her former fiance, Long.
The two are on trial for first-degree murder this week. Adkins is charged under child neglect for not obtaining proper medical care for Kaylie and Long has two counts, one by child abuse and the other by child neglect.
State prosecutors rested their case against Adkins who discovered her daughter's limp, lifeless body March 6, 2009, after she got home from work. Long was unemployed and the primary caregiver for Kaylie and the couple's 2-year-old daughter Lilliana while Adkins worked.
A week prior to Kaylie's death, she began throwing up her formula and sleeping for longer spans of time — one day up to 10 hours straight.
Kaylie first got sick around Feb. 27 while Adkins was working.
It wasn't until a couple of weeks after her death that Long admitted to police and Adkins that he dropped Kaylie after getting her out of the bathtub that day and that she fell off the couch later that evening.
But it was apparently after those incidents that Kaylie started throwing up, and continued to until the middle of the following week.
Neighbors of Long and Adkins testified they urged the couple to get Kaylie to a doctor because she was throwing up and her color didn't look good.
Adkins told police she called the Johnson City Pediatrics emergency line on Sunday, March 1 and a doctor called back and told Long to give Kaylie small amounts of Pedialyte.
Neither Long nor Adkins testified during the trial, but the jury did hear from each of them in police interviews that were videotaped.
When Johnson City Police Investigator Joe Harrah told Adkins how her daughter died — from bleeding on her brain — she was shocked and had no idea what could have injured her child.
In an interview shown to the jury Friday — the last Harrah conducted with Adkins before charging her with murder by neglect — Adkins was sobbing hysterically, trying to tell Harrah she thought Kaylie had a stomach virus.
Adkins was adamant in that interview that Kaylie's pediatrician, Dr. Chris Leeds, looked at the infant on March 2 when her older daughter had a 2-year check-up.
"He said plainly, 'Keep her on liquids even if you have to use a dropper.'"
Leeds testified earlier in the day that if he had examined Kaylie, he would have noted it in her charge, and that if he had known Kaylie had been dropped, he would have wanted to examine her.
Leeds' medical assistant that day, Tracy Fair, also testified, but contrary to what Harrah had said she told him.
Fair testified that she remembers Kaylie being at the appointment, but didn't take notice of her or her appearance. Harrah said Fair told him the baby looked gray and lifeless.
In Adkins' interview, she told Harrah that she checked on Kaylie after she got home from work March 5, then again around 1 a.m. March 6 before she went to bed.
That's when she discovered Kaylie cold and lifeless. She told Long to call 911, but emergency workers could not revive the infant.
After the state rested its case, one of Adkins' attorneys, Jim Bowman, announced his client rests her case. Long's attorneys presented two witnesses — a friend of the couple's who had seen the family on March 1 and said Kaylie looked fine, and Arden — then rested their case.
Criminal Court Judge Robert Cupp sent the jury home for the weekend and attorneys will give closing arguments Monday before the case goes to the jury.
If convicted, Long and Adkins both face life in prison.
Prior to the trial, Adkins was free on an OR, own recognizance, bond but is now in custody without bond because she was late getting there on Wednesday. Long is being held on a $1 million bond.

It'll be a time of going from Point A to Point B via a detour during seismic upgrade work on the High Street Bridge from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday (beginning this Wednesday). The work will continue through Sept. 1. Most of us are on automatic pilot when it comes to our routine routes so this will surely cause some turn-arounds until drivers get used to the idea of the closed bridge.
It'll also add congestion to the other Island exits, so while you're on the road, breathe deeply, count to 10 and be grateful that these extended bridge closures don't happen often. As for the residents near the bridge, enjoy the days of decreased traffic noise (assuming the seismic work doesn't make too much racket).
Seismic work on the Park Street Bridge is nearly completed and required closing only partial closure.

reality. The rig sat there idling in the early moring chill. It appeared as if to be
a bull, snorting, ready at a moment's notice to leap into action. Headlights
glowed like yellow eyes - unfocused but seeing all.
Today's load was a liquified creation of the processing done at the refinery.
Each quarter, the accumulated compound was loaded onto a special tanker
trailer, always under watchful armed guards, who always followed the truck
and trailer when it left the refinery.
Was it used for good? For evil? The Pete didn't care, it only wanted to feel the
pull of the load as it got underway. Other trucks could carry ordinary loads.
This job was what he was meant for. And he had the permits to prove it.

Hi. For the six of you that still check in on this site hoping to see an update, thanks for that! But today we actually have something for you, and we hope you enjoy it. Since Adam is a Steelers season ticket holder, he will share his thoughts and observations from each home game. We call it The View From 522 (because that's where he sits).
When you really stop and think about it Sunday's 27-12 win for the Steelers was a pretty bizarre game. And that's even when you get past the fact the Steelers were dressed like the kid from the Blind Melon video.
Let's just for a second consider some of what happened against the Washington Redskins…
1) Guys named Will Johnson and Leonard Pope caught touchdowns for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the same game. If the Steelers played 100 games a year for the next 100 years with the same roster this would probably never happen again.
2) A quarterback was flagged for offensive pass interference 40 yards down field on a play call that was so stupid, so completely insane, that Redskins coach Mike Shanahan called himself a real dumbshit for calling it during his press conference the next day. The Washington Redskins, a team that traded a slew of draft picks and invested a No. 2 overall pick in the draft in Robert Griffin III, sent him 40 yards down field to get blown up by a free safety less than a month after he suffered a concussion and already takes far more hits than the average quarterback due to their offense. He is their best player and the future of their franchise. And they did that to him. That is insane.
3) Antonio Brown can cover a lot of ground in a short period of time while running backwards.
Let's talk about this for a minute. Did you have a problem with it? Do you think it tarnishes the mythical (and let's face it, non-existent) Steeler image? Is this another example of a generation gap between old school fans and media and the Xbox generation? Are you tired of my questions yet?
When it comes to celebration I've always been of the belief that two things are equally true. First, sports are fun, athletes are entertainers, and people are paying a lot of money to see them in action so you better damn well entertain me. Crossing the goal line and handing the ball to the referee might be the respectable thing to do, but it sure is boring. And second: If you don't want a player to run into the end zone backwards against you, you shouldn't allow him to score.
What I'm trying to say is I don't think it was that big of a deal.
Sadly, my biggest problem with that play was yet another big special teams play for the Steelers was called back because of a hold or an illegal block in the back. This happens entirely too often.
4) DeAngelo Hall completely lost his mind, appeared as if he wanted to knock out a couple of referees, had to be physically restrained by his teammates, and ended up getting himself ejected from the game for reasons that still remain unclear. Even more confusing than his meltdown was his attempt to explain it after the game, an attempt that featured the following exchange with a couple of reporters, via the DC Sports Bog:
Hall: "I've got a meeting set up with Commissioner Goodell on Monday. Me and him will talk about it, watch the film, figure out what went down, hopefully get to the bottom of this."
Reporter tells Hall the NFL offices will be closed on Monday because of Hurricane Sandy
Hall: "Well, we're gonna figure something out. I've got my agent calling them, trying to set something up.
Reporter asks Hall what they're trying to figure out?
Hall: "Like I said, I'm not gonna discuss that. Any questions about the actual football part of the game?
Strange dude.
It seems that nobody likes Mike Wallace anymore
Mike Wallace may not be long for the Pittsburgh Steelers and that's a shame because he's one of their best players and one of their most valuable. Has been for three years, still is today, and should be for a few more years into the future. But he's an unrestricted free agent after this season and unless the Steelers slap the franchise tag on him he'll be eligible to hit the open market where there will be no shortage of teams lining up to sign him. And I don't think this will bother too many people in Pittsburgh.
The Steelers introduced their starting offensive lineup before Sunday's game and Wallace seemed to draw the quietest round of cheers and even had a few boos sprinkled in. In fairness, he was coming off the worst game of his career the week before in Cincinnati and feelings still seem to be sour after he held out in training camp because he couldn't get the long-term contract he wanted. But even more than that there just seemed to be a constant grumbling about him, even when he failed to haul in that pass in the end zone, a pass that would have been a nearly impossible one-handed grab on a pass thrown on his wrong shoulder.
If you view Wallace's season to this point as a disappointment it's probably not an unfair assessment. The big plays aren't there (though, I think that has more to do with the offense, which is now geared toward quick passes than Wallace not playing well) and he's obviously had some drops. But I don't understand why Brown is viewed as such a better, more complete receiver at this point.
Their production to this point is identical. Absolutely identical.
The numbers through seven games:
Wallace: Targets (58), Receptions (36), Yards (459), TD's (4), Yards per catch (12.8), Yards per target: (7.9)
Brown: Targets (63), Receptions (40), Yards (480), TD's (1), Yards per catch (12.0), Yards per target: (7.6)
And it's not like Brown hasn't left a few plays on the field this season in the form of drops (like the Eagles game) or fumbles (the Raiders game).
Yet nobody seems to have much negative to say about Brown outside of his over-the-top celebrations. Mike Wallace needs to hire Antonio Brown's PR department.
And speaking of guys that need better PR departments, if you want to make an argument for the player that's been the Steelers most consistent and efficient wide receiver this season it might just be Emmanuel Sanders. Seriously. He has the same 60-percent catch rate as Wallace and Brown, has converted a higher percentage of his catches into first downs than any other player on the team, is averaging over 12 yards a grab, and has been huge on third downs (10 of his 22 catches have come on third down). Based on the advanced metrics at Football Outsiders he's been the Steelers best receiver this year.
Running backs still grow on trees
Jonathan Dwyer had his second straight 100-yard game and became the first Steelers running back to accomplish that feat since Willie Parker in 2008. He was running through some huge holes, but he was also running over people, bouncing off tackles, and once again picking up yards after contact. He was, of course, a sixth-round draft pick that many of us gave up on multiple times over the years after dismal training camp and preseason performances. And there he is now, a productive NFL running back. If you've read this site for any length of time you'll know that Ryan and I strongly believe running backs are largely interchangeable (there are exceptions, of course, but we're talking about the difference from Rashard Mendenhall to Isaac Redman to Jonathan Dwyer here) and the Steelers are once again showing us that it is, for the most part, very true. IF there is one position on this team I will never worry about it's running back.

Beyonce invites Boston Marathon bombing survivors backstage at her show
Beyonce is an inspiration to a lot of people, but Tuesday night (July 23), the singer focused on three others' inspiring stories.
After her "Mrs. Carter Show" world tour concert in Boston, Beyonce invited three survivors of the Boston Marathon bombing backstage. Fans Mery Daniel, Adrianne Haslet, and Heather Abbott -- all of whom lost a leg in the horrific attack -- were treated to a meet and greet with Bey. They smiled for pictures and showed how far they have come since the tragedy, healing emotionally and physically.
"Picking things up off the floor, getting food, things that I used to be able to do independently now I no longer can do," Daniel told People magazine.
"If someone had told me I would have half a leg basically at the age of 38 before this happened, I think I would never have believed it," Abbott told ABC News. "I think I would have been devastated and I really haven't had a moment yet of being devastated because I've gotten so much support...It is a life-altering experience."
Beyonce's support and kindness to her fans never ceases to amaze.

This video will explain the benefits of the new radiant heat system with the new labour-saving "Turnkeys" and "Snakehangers".
Ultra-Calc™ allows distributors and contractors to calculate the material required for
installation of McDuffco's Radiant Floor heating system.
Ultra-Fin's 4 Zone Valve Controller™ dramatically simplifies the wiring for your hydronic radiant floor heating system's zone valves. A single 4 Zone Valve Controller™ provides thermostat circuits for four radiant heat zones, and you can parallel-wire extra controllers to accommodate even more zones.
Simplified wiring
With the 4 Zone Valve Controller™, you don't need zone valves with END switches because the END switch outputs are built into the controller. The controller also provides two additional outputs: one dry contact (normally used to activate the boiler) and one 24 VAC output that can drive any 24 volt AC activated relay, such as Ultra-Fin's 24 VAC Relay™. This means you can intelligently activate system pumps or mixing valves when any thermostat circuit is calling for heat, as when your hydronic heating system comprises both low-temperature and high-temperature circuits.
Thermister circuits prevent water hammer
Are you getting water hammer in your hydronic heating system? The 4 Zone Valve Controller™ also provides an optional thermister circuit for each zone valve. If you have a motor-driven zone valve that is closing too fast and causing water hammer, you can activate its thermister circuit manually, independent of the other zone valves. The thermister circuit supplies just enough current to provide a 15-second braking action, slowing the closing of the valve and eliminating the water hammer.
Easy troubleshooting
The 4 Zone Valve Controller™ makes it easy to troubleshoot your radiant heat system. Simple indicator lights tell you key information at a glance: red lights on each heating circuit tell you which heat zones are active, and a single green light tells you tells you if the controller has power.
Remote transformer
If you want to power the 4 Zone Valve Controller™ remotely, or power multiple controllers in parallel with one large transformer, you can easily remove the transformer that comes inside the controller. Using the holes in the back of the controller's housing, you then simply screw the controller to a mounting surface in a remote location, then run low voltage wire to the transformer elsewhere.

Peter Facinelli dating Jaimie Alexander? Jennie Garth's ex reunites with 'Loosies' co-star
The public has been watching Jennie Garth deal with her separation from Peter Facinelli on her CMT reality show, "Jennie Garth: A Little Bit Country." We've seen her sob through therapy sessions, and on Friday's episode, we even saw her reeling after receiving a text message informing her that Facinelli was filing for divorce.
Where Garth has been candid, Facinelli has been much more private throughout his split from his wife of 11 years -- and he may have already moved on.
Facinelli was spotted at a hotel in downtown Austin, Texas this weekend, with "Thor" actress Jaimie Alexander.
Earlier this year, Alexander and Facinelli costarred in the film "Loosies," which Facinelli also wrote -- so it's possible that the former co-stars were simply catching up. Sources tell us that they were close during production of the movie, but were not romantically involved at that time.
Alexander will soon begin filming "Thor 2," and according to his Twitter, Facinelli is also prepping for a new movie.

An Overview of Quantitative Research in Compostion & TESOL
Anestine Hector
Quantitative Analysis, like many other experimental type analyses were once considered out of the domain of disciplines such as Rhetoric and Linguistics. In fact, it was common for such analysis to be prevalent in the scientific fields and be considered useful only in scientific research. Today, Quantitative Analysis is probably as ubiquitous in language studies as it has been in the scientific field. Specifically, knowledge regarding second language acquisition, or human overall language development, for example, requires much more than qualitative, subjective investigation of data. [And] As the field of English and TESOL become more extensive globally, a demand for qualitative language research seem to be crucial. Language practitioners seek an all-powerful remedy for the plethora of problems and puzzles they face regarding language learning, acquisition, and use. Studies qualitatively conducted seem to be of major interest these days.
Practitioners of language development aren't the only ones urging for more quantitative analyses in language studies. A remarkable amount of linguistics and composition researchers are pushing for such studies, claiming that quantitative studies will solidify the field of linguistics (language study) and give it more credence in the scientific emporium. Grant Henning in "Quantitative Methods In Language Acquisition Research" urges researchers to use quantitative methods in language acquisition research so that we'd have a valid basis for making it belong to the realm of scientific inquiry. A general overview of the fundamental characteristics of quantitative research will enable readers to judge for themselves.
I. Some Definitions of Quantitative Research
"the kind of research that involves the tallying, manipulation, or systematic aggregation of quantities of data." Grant Henning "Quantitative Methods In Language Acquisition Research"
"an inquiry into a social or human problem based on testing a theory composed of variables, measured with numbers, and analyzed with statistical procedures, in order to determine whether the predictive generalizations of the theory hold true." John W. Creswell Research Design: Qualitative and Quantitative Approaches
"the collection of numerical data in order to explain, predict and/or control phenomena of interest." L.R. Gay Educational Research: Competencies for Analysis and Application
Of the three definitions here Creswell's definition appears to be more comprehensive than both Henning's and Gay's. Nevertheless, a common proposition carried throughout all of these definitions is that Quantitative research is indeed based on much of what it's nomenclature indicates: quantities. For the sake of this overview, I will provide a summary of Creswell's discussion of Quantitative Research. In Research Design: Qualitative and Quantitative Approaches, Creswell provides novice researchers with some useful information regarding conducting qualitative research. Topics ranging from choosing a research paradigm to formulating questions are covered.
According to Creswell, Quantitative methods consist of two types: experiments and Surveys. "Experiments include true experiments with the random assignment of subjects to treatment conditions and quasi experiments that use nonrandomized designs." [And] Surveys include cross-sectional and longitudinal studies using questionnaires or structured interviews for data collection with the intent for generalizing from a sample to a population." Creswell provides the following reasons for selecting a quantitative paradigm:
II. Reasons for Selecting a Quantitative Paradigm
Quantitative paradigm
Researcher's World View
A researcher's comfort with the ontological, epistemological, axiological, rhetorical, and methodological assumptions of the quantitative paradigm
Training And Experience Of The Researcher
Technical writing skills; computer statistical skills; library skills
Researcher's Psychological Attributes
Comfort with rules and guidelines for conducting research; low tolerance for ambiguity; time for a study of short duration
Nature Of The Problem
Previously studied by other researchers so that body of literature exists; known variables; existing theories
Audience For The Study
Individuals accustomed to/supportive of quantitative studies
Creswell provides a format for a quantitative study, stating that "it conforms to standards easily identified in journal articles and research studies. The form generally follows the model for an introduction, a literature review, methods, results, and discussion. In planning a quantitative study and designing a dissertation proposal, consider the following three-part format to sketch the overall plan:"
III. Example 1. Quantitative Format
—"A quantitative introduction typically is written from the third person point of view. This impersonal view removes the writer from the picture and helps create a sense of objectivity and distance between the researcher and that being researched. (a quantitative epistemological stance) The following are areas researchers should cover in the introduction of their study
Context (statement of the Problem)
Purpose of the Study
Research Questions or Objectives or Hypothesis
Theoretical perspectives
Definition of Terms
Delimitations and Limitations of the Study
Review of the Literature—According to Creswell, Literature in a research study accomplishes several purposes. (a) it shares with the reader the result of other studies that are closely related to the study being reported. (b) it relates a study to the larger, ongoing dialogue in the literature about a topic, filling in gaps and extending prior studies. (c) it provides a framework for establishing the importance of the study, as well as a benchmark for comparing the results of a study with other findings. In a Quantitative study the literature is used to "provide direction for the research questions or hypotheses…it is often used to introduce a problem in the introduction….it is used deductively as a framework for the research questions or hypotheses."
Methods—In designing a quantitative method for a research study, Creswell introduces some significant steps for novice researchers who are using either an experimental research plan or a survey research plan. The following are areas researchers should cover in the Methods section of their study.
Research Design
Sample, Population, or Subjects
Instrumentation and materials
Variables in the Study
Data Analysis
Components of a survey Method Plan
Survey Design—"a survey design provides a quantitative or numeric description of some fraction of the population---the sample—through the data collection process of asking questions of people."
A checklist of questions for designing a survey method
The survey design
review the purpose of a survey and the rationale for its selection as a design in the proposed study
discuss the purpose of survey research.
Population Sample
specify the characteristics of the population, and the sampling procedure
describe the population in the study
identify whether the sampling design for this population is single stage or multistage
identify how individuals will be selected
discuss whether this randomly selected population will be stratified so that specific characteristics are represented in the sample and the sample reflects the true characteristics of the population
identify the characteristics used in stratifying the randomly selected population
indicate the procedure for selecting the random sample from lists or the sampling frame
indicate the number of people in the sample and how this number was determined.
identify the survey instrument to be used in the study
If one plans to use an existing instrument, describe the established validity and reliability of items and scales on the instrument
include sample items so that readers can see the actual items used
indicate the major content sections in the instrument, such as the cover letter
discuss plans for pilot testing or field testing the survey ad provide a rationale for this procedure
for mailed survey, identify steps to be taken in administering and following up the survey to obtain a high response rate.
Variables in the Study
Plan to include a table and discussion that cross-references the variables, the questions or hypotheses, and specific survey items.
Data Analysis
Recommend that data analysis be presented in a series of steps
Components of an Experimental Plan
The components of an experimental method discussion follows a standard form; subjects, materials, procedures, and measures.
Describe whether the subjects will be selected randomly or conveniently
Indicate whether the subjects will be assigned randomly to groups in the experiments
Indicate whether the subjects will be matched, as well as randomly assigned to treatment groups
Tell the reader about the number of subjects in each group and the procedure for determining the size of each group.
The Variables
Identify the independent variables, called treatment conditions or factors in an experiment
Identify the dependent variable or variables to be used in the study
Instrumentation and Materials
Describe the instrument or instruments to be used in the experiment
Discuss thoroughly the materials used to create the treatment conditions
Experimental Design
Discuss the overall type of design
Other distinctions can be made about the overall experimental design in terms of the specific use of independent variables
Provide a diagram or a figure to illustrate the specific research design to be used
The procedure
Discuss the step-by-step approach for the procedure in the experiment
Statistical Analysis
Describe the descriptive statistics calculated for observations and measures at the pretest or posttest stages of experimental designs.
Describe the inferential statistics used to test the hypotheses in the study.
For single-subject research designs, use line graphs for baseline and treatment observations for abscissa units of time and the ordinate target behavior.
III. Appendices: Instruments
Gay provides a similarly comprehensive review of some of the methods involved in Quantitative research; which stating them will be mere redundancy. Gay explains that "experimental research is the only type of research that can truly test hypothesis concerning cause-and-effect relationships. It represents the most valid approach to the solution of educational problems, both practical and theoretical….experimental research is both the most demanding and the most productive type of research…" However, like Henning, Gay discussed what he called "some threats." Although Gay's work mostly focuses on educational research, I believe that it may benefit composition and linguistics researchers to heed those threats.
Regarding the use of quantitative research in language acquisition research, Henning claims "the second most common flaw, is the tendency for quantitative research studies in applied linguistics to be labeled experiments when they are not." Gay's work somewhat explains how to avoid some of the potential problems that Henning speaks of. Gay claims that "any uncontrolled extraneous variables affecting performance on the dependent variable are threats to the validity of an experiment." Moreover, Gay looks at some important topics that researchers should heed to ascertain the validity of their research.
Threats to Internal Validity
History—refers to the occurrence of any event that is not part of the experimental treatment but which may affect performance on the dependent variable.
Maturation—refers to physical or mental changes that may occur within the subjects over a period of time. These changes may affect the subjects' performance on the measure of the dependent variable.
Testing—refers to improved scores on a posttest resulting from subjects having taken a pretest.
Instrumentation—refers to unreliability, or lack of consistency, in measuring instruments which may result in invalid assessment of performance.
Statistical Regression—occurs when subjects are selected on the basis of their extreme scores and refers to the tendency of subjects who score highest on a pretest to score lower on a posttest, and of subjects who score lowest on a pretest to score higher on a posttest.
Differential Selection of Subjects—occurs when already formed groups are used and refers to the fact that the groups may be different before the study even begins, and this initial difference may at least partially account for posttest differences.
Mortality—is more likely to occur in longer studies and refers to the fact that subjects who drop out of a study may share a characteristic such that their absence has a significant effect on the results of the study.
Selection-Maturation Interaction, etc.—the "etc." means that selection may also interact with factors such as history and testing, although selection-maturation interaction is more common. What this means is that if already formed groups are used, one group may profit more (or less) from a treatment or have an initial advantage (or disadvantage) because of maturation, history, or testing factors.
Threats to External Validity
Threats affecting "to whom," to what persons, results can be generalized, are referred to as problems of population validity.
Threats affecting "to what" to what environments (setting, dependent variables, and so forth) results can be generalized, are referred to as problems of ecological validity.
Main External Validity threats
pretest-treatment interaction—subjects respond or react differently to a treatment because they have been pretested.
Multiple-Treatment Interference—the same subject receive more than one treatment---or when subjects who have already participated in the study are selected for inclusion in another, theoretically unrelated study.
Selection-Treatment Interaction—interaction of personological variables and treatment effects
Specificity of Variables—interaction of history and treatment effects; interaction of time of measurement and treatment effects.
Experimenter Effects—experimenter personal-attributes effect; experimenter bias effect
Reactive Arrangements—Hawthorne effect, John Henry effect, Placebo effect, Novelty effect.
Regarding Rhetoric and Linguistics study, Henning suggests the following research paradigms to help researchers avoid some mistakes easily made in quantitative studies. He suggests Spearman's Rho, "in correlational studies in which randomization is not possible and it is not known whether there was a normal distribution in the population from which the sample was drawn; Chi Square Methodology to test independence or goodness of fit with small samples; Path Analytic methods to help language acquisition researchers to test competing theories; Latent Trait model to investigate parameters of reading; Multiple T tests to determine which of an array of linguistic phenomena elicited were most effective in differentiating between two or more groups of individuals;
Factor analysis for aggregating data into mutually exclusive or correlated variables called factors.

Winter!: Prepare for holiday gaming!
I personally don't like the Simpsons, but I played this arcade game at Chucky Cheese. Normally I only got one or two quarters to play a game, but the day I played this game was special. My father came back with a pocket full of quarters and said that we could play. The game was a side-scrolling action game (like TMNT 2). It was fun, we played throughout the game, defeating bosses and doing team attacks (Bart could climb ontop of Homer and attack with his Skateboard). It was the only game like it that was an Arcade Machine that I actually finished. We must of gone through $10 of quarters, but the memories were priceless, maybe one day when I am a millionaire I will buy that Machine simply cause of the memories.

Protestors outside the Bank of England / image courtesy of memespring under a Creative Commons licence
Well, all four marches made it to the Bank of England – only to be blocked in by police in what's apparently called a 'kettle'. Nobody's being allowed out of the area in scenes reminscent of Oxford Circus in 2001. There's a predictable amount of argy bargy going on: some protestors threw red smoke bombs, others grabbed police helmets and threw them around, and there's reports of truncheon use and blood. Police lines
seem to have forced have kept one group of protestors in front of… a branch of RBS. Which was clever. The RBS is now being attacked. Riot police are out. (From Guardian twitterers). The epicentre of trouble seems to be on Threadneedle Street. But are there more people taking photos than doing the kicking off?
On a far happier (and less bloody) note, the Climate Camp has set up in Bishopsgate bang on time without any trouble. They have a band, bunting and a farmer's market! Is this a protest or a day out in Hampstead?
People are starting to gather in Grosvenor Square to protest against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The march will head through Regent Street, Piccadilly Circus and Haymarket before ending in Trafalgar Square.

Akira MangaAKIRA 総天然色, アキラ
Akira is set in the post-apocalypse Neo-Tokyo of 2019, a vast metropolis built on the ashes of a Tokyo annihilated by an apocalyptic blast of unknown power that triggered World War III. The lives of two streetwise teenage friends, Tetsuo and Kaneda, change forever when dormant paranormal abilities begin to waken in Tetsuo, who becomes a target for a shadowy government operation, a group who will stop at nothing to prevent another catastrophe like that which leveled Tokyo. And at the core of their motivation is a raw, all-consuming fear: a fear of someone -- or something -- of unthinkably monstrous power known only as...Akira.

McMillin selling Millenia
Pending deal ends company's 54-year reign in South Bay
Millenia, the $4 billion, 210-acre housing and commercial project in eastern Chula Vista, is being sold.
And once Corky McMillin Companies sells the property at an as-yet undisclosed price, it will mark the end of a 54-year era of building in South Bay.
CEO Scott McMillin said the new owner, Ambient Communities, is headed by former McMillin executives and plans to carry out the master plan that Chula Vista approved nearly five years ago. He said an unnamed equity partner from Chicago, to be disclosed when the sale closes around July 1, has up to $10 billion in a private real estate fund.
McMillin's own equity partner, Stratford Land, also is selling its interest.
"We feel it's a really good deal for the project," McMillin said. "We think it's good for the community and for our partnership with Stratford."
Millenia, purposely spelled without a second "n," is located east of state Route 125 and south of Birch Road and the Otay Ranch Town Center. Its master plan calls for 2,982 homes, 3.5 million square feet of commercial space, one or two hotels and a library, school, fire station and transit station. It is part of what Chula Vista calls its "Eastern Urban Center" on the old Otay Ranch property.
McMillin held a ceremonial ground breaking in September and signed up several developers in the 72-acre first phase to build apartments, townhomes, a hotel and retail center.
Chula Vista City Manager Jim Sandoval said he met with Ambient executives Thursday and came away supportive of the change, which the city must approve before it can go through.
"I think it's pretty positive," Sandoval said. "We always thought the Eastern Urban Center is pretty visionary and pretty unique when you think about it being a fairly intense development in a suburban setting. There's a little bit of risk to it. If it is successful, it will be really good for the city and the region."
Sandoval said he was particularly glad to hear that Ambient is ready to move forward on commercial office buildings rather that wait for the housing to be completed, as McMillin had earlier planned.
While Ambient is a local company -- it is headed by Wade Paul, a 21-year McMillin veteran who served as CEO of McMillin Capital -- the ownership change signifies the end of an era.
"We don't have anything left in South Bay," McMillin said.
Corky McMillin, who died in 2005, formed the company in 1960 as a remodeling and custom-home builder. In more than half a century, it has built 30,000 homes in 16 master-planned communities, business parks and military residences, many projects located in National City, Chula Vista and other South Bay communities.
It later years the company branched out to other parts of the county, elsewhere in California and lately in Texas -- expansions which have since been concluded.
One of the elder McMillin's final big visionary projects was the transformation of the Naval Training Center in Point Loma into Liberty Station, with its mix of old military barracks and new construction.

History of the A's
"Our Citizens Were Highly Elated"
The Toronto Globe
Monday June 17, 1889
St. Catharines, June 15 - Great things were expected of the Athletics team sent to Paris to-day to do battle on the lacrosse field with their old time opponents, the Brants. These expectations were more than realized as the Saints team virtually defeated last year's C. L. A. champions easily. The victory is the more commendable owing to the composition of the St. Catharines team, every player being a local man, no outside or "ringster" element being noticeable. Our citizens were highly elated as the progress of the match was bulletined at the C. P. R. office, it being thought next to impossible that the champions could draw out a victory after the third game, and such proved to be the case as the final score gave the match to the Athletics by 4 goals to 2. The Athletics' team arrived home this evening and were met at the Murray House by a large number of our citizens and the Port Dalhousie band, who tendered them a serenade. The Athletics' team was made up of the following players:- A. Riddell, goal; H. Morton, W. Yielding, R. Williams, R. Fairfield, C. Lobb, J. Downey, D. C. Hetherington, A. H. Fralick, John Notman, A. Chestnut and A. Doyle.
At the beginning of the present season the Athletics Seniors were thought to be in the possession of a weak team as Rogers, F. Williams, Marquis, Chaplin and Linden retired, but their places were fixed today by Riddell, Lobb, Chestnut, Hetherington and Doyle of last year's Juniors, and from all accounts the "colts" rather strengthened than weakened the Athletics. The success of the Athletics to-day will again boom the national game in this city. The Athletics play their next championship game in Woodstock on July 1st, but exhibition games with some of the Toronto teams will likely be arranged for in the meantime.
